I don't know Greg Schiano personally. But what I do know is Bill Belichick has vouched for him. OK? Urban Meyer has vouched for him. He's coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a professional organization. So many people have vouched for Greg Schiano. Now, all of a sudden, Tennessee is too holy that they don't want Greg Schiano?

I watch all sports in some shape or form. When you grow up in a small town, sports becomes a form of you.

Our idea of fun wasn't going to Disney World. It was, you want to play basketball, go outside, and make a goal. You want to play baseball? Take the old broom, take the handle off, take a tennis ball that we found somewhere, and go play baseball. We were forced to create things.

I never said I want to be the football guy. But when that opportunity started to become real, I said, 'Okay, let's see where this goes.'

When you criticize grown men, it's a lot easier. They make millions of dollars. They should be able to handle it, especially if you do it in a truthful manner... I'm sure it stings, but my whole objective is to be honest.

I think Jalen Hurts is consistent enough.

Nothing motivates an 18-year-old like being disrespected.

What makes a three-man booth challenging is everybody's gotta give up a little something. Right? Because normally you'd have one guy being the analyst, and he's got the ability to go at his own pace and do everything and break down everything, but when you've got two people, somebody's gotta give up a little something.

I like a guy with a little edge. I mean, I played with Warren Sapp.

If you want to go to a school with lower requirements, it doesn't diminish the education.

I think the NFL needs a more stringent policy when it comes to domestic violence. Make the punishment work.

Tennessee is a program that I thought had a lot of tradition. A program that I thought stood for something.

I'm a small-town kid from Winnsboro, La., who grew up not really being comfortable talking to people.

No disrespect to Gronk - Travis Kelce is the best tight end in football.

People talk about players who should get more attention, but things like that have never bothered me. If I just play my game, walk out the back door without anybody seeing me, I'm fine with that.

I just know that if you put my film on with anybody else's in the league, it'll measure up.

I like developing relationships.

When you treat people the right way, it's amazing the avenues that open up for you.

Find somebody who has been successful, and learn how to do it. Find somebody who has been unsuccessful, and learn how not to do it. The clues are there. Find 'em.

I've always been this way. What you see is what you get.

People who know me, the guys who have been around me every day, this is the way I've been... I've never been a guy who just needed a lot of attention. Some people do.

There's nothing more comforting for a team than to know when you need someone to make a play, you have someone who is going to do it when it matters most.

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one Booger.

I was a bad kid, getting into a lot of wild stuff.

When I talk about football from a studio standpoint, I try to cut through the minutia and get to the point.
