I've always said that the games in November are the ones you remember.
Remember one thing about ESPN: People can be critical of them sometimes for being a large corporation but nine years ago I had a stroke and I couldn't talk. That's the way I made my living. ESPN could've dumped me very easy, but they didn't. They helped me and presented me an opportunity to get back on the air.
Everybody asks me, 'Lee when did you know it was time to retire?' I said, 'when they quit asking me to coach.' After the Orlando Renegades, not many people were busting down my doors to coach, so why not do something else.
Donnie Thomas is simply a superlative linebacker with everything it takes to be an all-American.
Drew Henson could go down as the greatest quarterback in the history of Michigan football.
I wouldn't coach football now for nothing, and it's because of social media. That just bothers the heck out of me. People blast ya and you don't put their name down.
I had gotten a master's degree in administration supervision with it in mind that I would some day be a professor, then get a doctorate degree and move up and eventually be president of a university.
Don't ever underestimate Mike Gundy throwing the ball with his quarterbacks.
1958 was my first year as a defensive backfield coach at Florida State. I remember one thing about that game: It was so cold. It was freezing.
