Pastoral Resources

Our coaches want to be a part of South Carolina football when they win it for the first time. When they win the division, when they win the SEC, win a major bowl game, etc. The opportunities to do it all for the first time here make it extra special.

But as coaches, we need to get a little more fire and passion and be more demanding that our guys get the job done. I think players will respond to that, and we'll see.

I do have some young coaches, but I don't really believe that is the biggest problem we have here.

I feel like there should be more black head coaches.

Very often we see coaches who have not been successful being recycled, instead of looking to a new face or a new name who has demonstrated the ability to handle the job.

I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.

I believe every era has its significance and the same holds true for players and coaches.

The biggest difference is in the leadership. It was better for us. We had more coaches and mentors to help us. A lot of the younger players today suffer from a lack of direction.

You're always at war with the guy on the other bench. You pick up their patterns. That's what I got the most out of this year. I know what other coaches like to do.

Coaches aren't concentrating enough of the technical part of this game and that could lead to injuries.

All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.

Coaches are an integral part of any manager's team, especially if they are good pinochle players.

I've had hard coaches all my life.

I think training of better Youth Coaches is essential.

I have a lot of respect for tough coaches.

You know over 20 years I played for a number of managers and dozens of coaches. I don't know any of them that I didn't learn something from to help make me a better player.

The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on.
