Coaches Hot Seat Quotes of the Day – Saturday, October 27, 2012 – Barry Switzer

“Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.”

And

“It was like a heart transplant. We tried to implant college in him but his head rejected it.”

And

“The key to his success? He’s just faster than the guys who are chasing him.”

And

“It never changes. Football is a game of repetition, mental and physical. You may try to articulate it a little different, but it’s the same thing: Get better players, make fewer mistakes, and drill the fundamentals into your players’ heads. The rest of it is a joke. Teams aren’t winning because of what they had for breakfast or what some coach said in the locker room.”

And

“In pro football you’re a number. If you don’t play well, you’re gone and no one cares. But in college, coaches recruit young men and ask them to become a part of their family and help you become a productive citizen for the next 30, 40, 50 years of your life. Your coaches help you develop into something you can be proud of and they are there for life.”
