The problem with just wanting to punt it deep and out of bounds every time is that most punters can't do that. Most guys shank and pull their kicks when they try that, so you have to get a guy who punts the ball high and gets hang time.
Quote by -Lee Corso
It's just boring to see a team punt the ball and have the returner fair-catch the ball all the time.
Quote by -Lee Corso
Many came to the USFL after being cut by NFL teams or failing to even make a roster, some were Canadian league players who wanted to make a step up, and every one of them wanted to prove he was good enough to make the NFL.
Quote by -Lee Corso
My involvement with the USFL began in the broadcast booth before I ever coached a game in the league.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I mean there's a hell of a difference between the Big Ten and the ACC when it comes to quality football.
Quote by -Lee Corso
The Florida Gator head - It's not only heavy, it's kind of awkward in the front. It had that long beak. I put it on, and it rubbed the top of my head raw.
Quote by -Lee Corso
That's one thing with stroke victims, you've got to have a goal and you cannot accept anything but that goal.
Quote by -Lee Corso
It'll be up to ESPN when I leave. And when ESPN says they're going to move in another direction, I'll say, 'Thank you very much. It's been a great run.' Because it has.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I'll tell you, people remember every single pick I make against their team, they really do. There's just so much passion in college football, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I reflect on my 30 years at ESPN and continue to count my blessings each time I walk on the 'College Gameday' set.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I always felt the true test of a man's character is how he treats people he can't use.
Quote by -Lee Corso
You have to build upon good performances to establish a sound football program.
Quote by -Lee Corso
A woman has a different type of sensitivity than a man. Their perspective of right and wrong is different and their perspective of life is different. They're more idealistic. They have greater faith in people than men and they can add that to an all-male organization.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I've given the idea a lot of thought and I believe it is a sound, logical course of action to hire a woman. The woman I hire won't be on the field blowing a whistle. She'll be in charge of academic counseling for the players and will do some recruiting.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I always stand on the visiting team's sidelines because there aren't as many people.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I'm like an old vaudeville act. They'll have to pull me off the stage with a hook.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I was almost as famous at Indiana for my television shows as I was my coaching. That's kind of embarrassing when you think about it.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I represent college football and have been doing it for 26 years. It's a great thrill.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I recruit defensive players first. That's where most games are won. Then you've got to get the offensive linemen.
Quote by -Lee Corso
If you lose you better at least be entertaining while you do it or people will turn you off.
Quote by -Lee Corso
I found out people want excitement. Fans don't want to see a lot of running. Even if a team wins it's boring. The total concept of the game must be entertainment.
Quote by -Lee Corso
But even the people who don't like my opinions must admit that I always have a reason behind what I say.
Quote by -Lee Corso
The one thing that saved me is that in 17 years of coaching I never had an NCAA investigator talk to one of my players. I lost games, but I lost the right way.
Quote by -Lee Corso
Humor is not a sign of weakness. In fact, humor can be your greatest asset in the face of tragedy.
Quote by -Lee Corso
People are doing too much e-mail. The basic thing is eyeball-to-eyeball. Business relationships are made to be personal. The more people get away from it, the more they are going to lose that personal relationship. That's what I learned - to develop personal relationships with people.
Quote by -Lee Corso
People say, 'Burt Reynolds is so good-looking.'... I used to set him up for bait. I'd send him to the student union, and he'd come back with a beautiful girl and an ugly one. But his ugly girls were better than anything I'd get on my own. With his looks and my car, we'd kill 'em in Tallahassee.
Quote by -Lee Corso
Bill Murray made the headlines by throwing me down and stomped me on the set with Clemson.
