Will be the 14th time I've coached in Neyland Stadium. ... I've coached there more than some of their head coaches.

Steve Spurrier

My dad has always played and coached, so that's what I knew. I played other sports but always turned toward soccer and had the same love for it as my father. They never forced me to play; I always wanted to. I was always around it.

Happy birthday to Arnold Palmer, who turned 82. That's 41 years iced tea and 41 years lemonade.

You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches, college coaches - but my dad, the foundation that he built with me, is where all of this came from. The speed, the determination, the mindset, just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to, it all comes from my dad.

Robert Griffin III

I've coached grassroots for eight years, I coached middle school, and I coached high school.

Penny Hardaway

My dad has coached a long time, so there aren't too many conversations in my family that haven't centered around basketball.

Stan Van Gundy

I try not to make comparisons between who I've coached. And I haven't always coached the best in the world.

Gerardo Martino

I think I've achieved a lot in 41 years. I like how 41 feels; I feel good. I don't like how it sounds too much.

Victoria Beckham

My dad was a high school coach for 30-plus years in North Carolina, and he was inducted into the North Carolina High School Coaches Hall of Fame. He's the best coach I've known, in every way, all the way around - relationships, motivation, going the extra mile, always putting his kids first and foremost.

Kelvin Sampson

I feel like I've paid attention to all the great coaches who have coached me.

Penny Hardaway

I just go back to my roots. I was literally born 26 miles from Martinsville High School where Coach Wooden grew up, and then my dad coached there for four years.

Steve Alford

When I coached guys that I knew would be good coaches, I kind of push them.

Bruce Arians

I've heard all the coaches complaining about the new CBA rules limiting padded practice. I don't like the reduction to just 15 padded practices during the season. When I coached, we always practiced in pads; and three days a week.

Jimmy Johnson

My dad has been my coach since I was seven years old - from 7 to 18 is when he coached my club team - and so it was always in the family. He introduced me to soccer at a young age and also kind of molded me into a good player at a young age, too. Which then I grew to love the game and be as passionate as he was.

Ali Krieger

My dad's always been a coach and one of my coaches.
