I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.

I always felt like, one of the niches is if you can recruit the SEC, you can be a head coach in the SEC.

There's nothing worse than recruiting a player and then leaving the player.

Every day I pull into that parking spot that says 'Head Football Coach,' I get out of my car and pinch myself sometimes, just to make sure it's real, sort of like, 'Is this really happening?'

My goal is to outwork everybody in recruiting, sign the best players in the state, and turn these guys into the best team we can.

It never stops. It's 365 recruiting. That cell phone you've got, these smartphones are the death of college coaching.
