" Is college football as pure as it used. Is this pure as it used to being. There's so many things is so. I only specialized -- day it is so why -- open now -- compared it wants when I first started. That just more dangers there's more problems kids can get you know -- I was -- footballer first try to coach and there was beer. There was women. What what we're -- it would have drug that -- you know I don't want to get to. Keep those kids straight Miguel's -- goes is all -- pretty good -- that momentum and -- him. You know get that took out all while we notable wanna hear it did this did that did this and this and that. So many more scandals now. What what's the most fun wear them the thing you like the most about -- the thing I liked the most about college football I think it's a relationship you have with the players. And win the coaches. And then the thrill of winning. The thrill of winning -- in the that. You prepare all week four game you work on certain plays you think will work. You -- find out defensive problems they have -- offensive problems how to stop -- and you put a game plan together then you go out there and it works. And it works that subject I guess that's life in general went in a battle -- and up that's that's one big thrill to it now. To be losses hurt more. Then winning makes you feel good losses QQ how many losses would kill me."

" Most of -- coaches. 25 coaches in the fraternity are now making more than two million bucks a year Mack Brown gets his. Five million bucks a year. And there's 84% increase in tuition help pay for or they're laying off teachers the people and chemistry department don't like that our coaches pay too much money. Well you know you know."

" That's a good this today and get this they're soft and it's never brought up coaches make that out about what -- made I was a two million dollar coach right. I generated most of that. The university and pay me two million dollars the university paid media statement to donate them. -- the best moment but that's what they paid. Now I generated through my television show to my radio show through my advertisement through. Hole things I'd I helped raise all of money. I'm not made one if asked but is refusing to raise money for the boosters and things like that you know that and so mostly east coaches generate that -- other problems on -- The -- some coaches so they go on just do they demand this and demand then there's the reputation is so good to get it. And that they put their contact -- talks. Don't touch him -- and I'm I'm fitness office work you know I don't know what max involves our coach Saban on but. They're making Obama but the thing about it. What you start winning. You gotta keep it up baby you're out there you know I'm an up and do that you know we say about that and indeed I think there -- some."

" Rules that are having second thoughts about the big bucks are some people say that and geno and Leavitt and Leach. Were. Trumped up and let go because of the money -- you know you don't know but the specifics what I would hear what you thought -- god that you have to know that inside scoop on that don't know they inside scoop. But I know I would think this if the coaches make a lot of money. And he and he crosses the line. Love my loud voice is not always hear that. If you if you only in Miami where was your line and discipline would you would you dedicated. But I really kid mellow out not tell my coaches don't -- a kid don't advocate. Don't keep your hands off problem. I have to admit it's been about and so you know but I've always said don't touch a kid and don't question no no don't. Verbally abuse acutely. You know but I their their their ability that. I think just too many other ways to this that this thing is really get -- now. You know that these guys have been one and five for abuse -- for. McCann kid walked in the Cade and other kids abuse -- abuse for -- that. The coaches have always had we had this will work with which is worse -- going to be elements and the shape percent pace on us 5 o'clock in the morning. We'll run up stadiums if -- can all. And do that then left the lot of -- district is that might have been the science wont wanna call about a coach stepping away. Burnout health. He's accurate stepping -- specifically talk about the Urban -- situation you know what you're -- well I've always had a feeling about this -- would -- Urban -- don't know but I I really have him as a great -- an excellent football -- no doubt about an excellent man -- character that's. But I've always said this but I've always say this I spoke to the national coaches convention I've told coaches. Don't mind football you're god. That much on politico. Don't make football you god because of -- thank you think of this."

" Football have rated -- as I've got -- I don't angle whenever dead demo game. -- regular every year you know if you watch out of guided us you'll burn out I hit these coaches saying I'm burned out of -- you know. But I forever go get -- about the -- you've got to play golf. You know so I'm tied to always have time with football and did get away from assuming haven't seen the last summer. It -- sound like I just hoping that would jeopardize that they -- other most profound statement that word and in an -- got to be careful. Coach him back at Michigan great football coach he retired county on. You know and Kennedy had -- heart problem. He spoken national coaches convention about eight and you played hours there and he made this statement that notices you know. I wish I had to -- conscience. But if I had -- probably do about it now. That's the profile you know and and that's what I've urban urban be careful be careful if you are having a bad problem. But put football ahead of you. I'm not and he won't he's a big fan man you know going to be careful."

" Tell me they feel about this kind of coach's behavior so Lane Kiffin takes heat packs his father up he had two USC. And yet kids who transfer got to sit out a year. You don't have to society you're all and the boosters pay for the going out coming back in what -- you think about that -- may when you take a job black Tennessee. You've got some -- obligation."

" You know it. And and that it's at at just this to me that's. Too quick to change jobs. I just thank you have an obligation at Tennessee. In the ought to -- that obligation but I know he's young guy an average obvious problem we always wanted. And everybody wanted to take it took. And I just got to live with -- and so. What do you think can be done regulate that you'd think anything can be done is lead to -- That doesn't look like it I think athletic directors you've got to do a pretty good job. When your hiring people -- I want -- there. What kind of people they are so if they are they if they stay with the word. Or you've got -- all you can about just like us coaches we have to really check out these young man we've. To be sure they got. If -- there accountable. You know and if you got what is Calvin got some you know but we don't want to run off -- overall. Your legacy. It's for others to decide clearly but the what do you think you wanna be remembered ads is I would like for them to say that likely to -- That -- serve God's purpose -- from a life. I served God's purpose goes I don't think that Everyman on this earth has a purpose in life that -- is simple you know what. And our job -- to -- that purpose and try to spot do it you know it -- I would hope that this thing oh. He he found God's purposes life and had to do you know I can't say did it actually tried to do it and you could say anything nicer to me. About me."
