I never had anything planned, like, 'When I'm 40 I'll be coaching here.' A number of people in our profession have done that, but my thing was always, wherever I was coaching, to work hard, do the best you can, and if it happens, it happens.
When you're on TV, you're still coaching, believe it or not. You're just coaching America, you're not coaching one team.
I love coaching and not just coaching because it's about winning football games, but coaching because you have an opportunity to impact young men and people and that's what I want to do.
I received my Master's degree from the University of Utah while coaching at Granite High School. I obtained my doctorate from BYU while coaching. I pursued these degrees to prepare myself if coaching didn't work out.

I've had the privilege of coaching the best basketball team in the history of the world, and that's the USA national team. I've had a chance to coach them for eight years. If you were to ask me if I could end my career only coaching one team for the rest of my coaching career, I don't think it could get better than that, especially with the players that I've had during those eight years. When you've coached at that level, you know, you've coached those players, it's pretty hard to say, I would rather coach anybody else.
Coaching is easy. Winning is the hard part.
On the field, I was probably coaching more, helping players and doing my coaching badges.
Over-coaching can be more harmful than under-coaching. Keep it simple!
I didn't get into coaching to make money. I got into this for the coaching and teaching part.
I didn't realize the difference between coaching college and coaching the NBA. It's a totally different animal.
How would I coach LeBron and Lonzo? Guess what, less coaching is the best coaching. Let them do what they do.
I think when you have strong leadership at the coaching level and you empower the coach and the coaching staff, you have a lot more stability.
A big part of me has been tied to coaching and I want to get into coaching and make a difference that way.
Coaching 'The Ultimate Fighter' in my weight class, I couldn't do it. I'd basically be coaching people to beat me. I'm going to give you my riddle?
The challenge of coaching a national side like England would be something different. The job is not about coaching every day.
