What Are You Doing Here? Tell Me Why You Are Here. If You Are Not Here To Win A National Championship, You're In The Wrong Place. You Boys Are Special. I Don't Want My Players To Be Like Other Students. I Want Special People. You Can Learn A Lot On The Football Field That Isn't Taught In The Home, The Church, Or The Classroom. There Are Going To Be Days When You Think You've Got No More To Give And Then You're Going To Give Plenty More. You Are Going To Have Pride And Class. You Are Going To Be Very Special. You Are Going To Win The National Championship For Alabama.

It Is This Last Group That Has Won More Games For Me Than The First Three Groups Combined.

But It's Still A Coach's Game. Make No Mistake. You Start At The Top. If You Don't Have A Good One At The Top, You Don't Have A Cut Dog's Chance.
