Lee Corso

I've given the idea a lot of thought and I believe it is a sound, logical course of action to hire a woman. The woman I hire won't be on the field blowing a whistle. She'll be in charge of academic counseling for the players and will do some recruiting.

I don't think guys in TV should stay when it's time to leave.

I always stand on the visiting team's sidelines because there aren't as many people.

When I rest, I can talk. When I don't rest, I can't talk.

Tough times were when I didn't have a job and nobody called me.

I look at films every day. I study. I coach.

I don't have anything against long hair. I've known some crew-cut bums.

You got to have a gimmick in this got-to-have-a-gimmick world.

Some athletes aren't small, they're just short.

The one thing that saved me is that in 17 years of coaching I never had an NCAA investigator talk to one of my players. I lost games, but I lost the right way.

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.

Basically I'm an entertainer and I use football as my vehicle.

Humor is not a sign of weakness. In fact, humor can be your greatest asset in the face of tragedy.

As bad as some of the teams in the NFL seem to be, they all have way more talent than any college.

I never even thought about it, but I think if I had to be known for something it would be that I tried to treat everyone right and nice.

People are doing too much e-mail. The basic thing is eyeball-to-eyeball. Business relationships are made to be personal. The more people get away from it, the more they are going to lose that personal relationship. That's what I learned - to develop personal relationships with people.

Business is nothing more than relationships. It's the secret.

In life, passion is the secret to success.

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.
