How can a coach have any influence over a player that's making over five times more than he is?
Hayden Fry
I learned a great many things in the Marines that helped me as a football coach. The Marines train men hard and to do things the right way, just as a football team must train.
Hayden Fry
I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family, to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team, too. They'd never seen anything like it.
Hayden Fry
I'll be here in my home with three big screens. I'll be watching three games at a time, and when they're over, I'll look at three more.
Hayden Fry
I've felt sorry for young people who didn't have an opportunity to play football, because I know what the game can offer.
Hayden Fry
If you stay with this game long enough, the worm is bound to turn.
Hayden Fry
In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.
Hayden Fry
Sports is such a great vehicle to promote and bring recognition to not only the whole university, but the state.
Hayden Fry
The people who run a university are far more qualified and intelligent in handling people than someone who inherited his money and used it to buy a pro team.
Hayden Fry
The preparation I had in college was the most valuable.
Hayden Fry
We changed our image. At least when we ran out on the field or broke the huddle, we would look like winners.
Hayden Fry
We have to be realistic. If we don't win, life will continue.
Hayden Fry
We probably spend more time talking about individual players in our coaching sessions than anything else.
Hayden Fry
We'll take what the other team gives us. We'll scratch where it itches.
Hayden Fry
We're the only dance in town. We don't compete with any professional teams for the entertainment dollar.
Hayden Fry
Welcome to the Salvation Army. I've never been associated with an offense so nice about giving the ball away.
Hayden Fry
When it's football season, I'm all football.
Hayden Fry
You can't control people. You must understand them. You have to know where they're coming from, their beliefs and values, what turns them off, what they're against.
Hayden Fry
You just witnessed an old-fashioned rump kicking.
Hayden Fry

One of my favorites from McKay.
Reporter -- "Coach, what do you think of your team's execution?"
McKay -- "I think it's a good idea." |
|
"Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to reach into the refrigerator and come out with something that you cannot identify at all. You literally do not know what it is. Could be meat, could be cake. Usually, at a time like that, I'll bluff. "Honey, is this good?" "Well, what is it?" "I don't know. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like...meatcake!" "Well, smell it." (snort, sniff) "It has absolutely no smell whatsoever!" "It's good! Put it back! Somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in something." Thats what frightens me. That someone will consider it a challenge and use it just because it's in there." -- George Carlin |
