I have no desire at all to become the winningest coach at Notre Dame. The record belongs to Knute Rockne or some other coach in the future.

Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.

What changed our lives forever was when Malcolm had the idea to sell rock ‚n roll records to trendy customers.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

My records are borderline dance records. They’ve got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there’s a lot of people that were like, ‚This is a dance record.‘

Whoever the coach is, my job is to talk to him, understand him and be a better player under him and give my best.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

I don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

I always have confidence, whether I miss four in a row or make four in a row, that the next one’s going in. To a coach, sometimes that might not make sense.

All my records and videos were groundbreaking.

I’ve got nothing against records – I’ve spent my life making them – but they are a kind of historical blip.

Bobby Knight told me this: ‚There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.‘ In other words a good offense wins.

Occasionally, I hanker for the time when I sold more records, but I don’t sit and drool about it. When I do look at early footage of Talking Heads, I realise I was just a wreck.

I’ve written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that’s what’s been fun about looking back.

When I watch professional football, I love listening to John Madden because I know he knows what he’s talking about. He’s been both down in the trenches and in front of the bench as a coach. He knows the game.

I’m an old man, and all my life I’ve said that Notre Dame should remain independent because it’s a national school.

If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who’s been successful at another college program, they’re going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.

When I signed up for BFC, then-coach Ashley Westwood wanted me to play on the left as an attacking midfielder. I was not sure initially but I believed in his vision. For the first six-seven games, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I was like a headless chicken. But he kept backing me.

I’ve always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I’ve always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

I’m gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell ‚em out of the trunk of my car. I’m that kind of musician and singer.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

As commanders and staff officers, we are coaches and sentries for our units: how can we coach anything if we don’t know a hell of a lot more than just the TTPs?

At home I have a copy of the April 21, 1986, issue of ‚Sports Illustrated.‘ I’m on the cover with the blurb, ‚Can Lou Do It?‘ I’d just arrived at Notre Dame, and with spring football underway, I was the focal point of that week’s coverage.

I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don’t even get printed.

Everyone is different. Everyone has different teams they’ve played on, coaches they’ve played for.

A lot of the records you buy, there’s nothing you can hold in your hand, it’s all 1’s and 0’s, this digital cloud floating in the ether. but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.

Had I been a great athlete, I’m not sure I would have even gone into coaching. I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes.

I want to keep making records as long as I can, but I don’t know how long you can be taken seriously in rap.

I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put the desire in me.

I’m a mentor to anybody who’s interested.

Coaching wouldn’t be for me. No, certainly not.

Coaching is nothing more than eliminating mistakes before you get fired.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I’d play ‚em over and over.

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

No one in this world, so far as I know – and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me – has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.

Coaches will say that it’s not important for their team to run more, and they prefer to make games the right way. I want to make games only the right way and run 10 km more.

I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.

It confuses me and disappoints me when somebody says, ‚What does he do? What does he do?‘ My records are some of the biggest anthems ever. What do you think, they magically just appear? Obama walked out to my record.

A lifetime contract for a coach means if you’re ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can’t fire you.

John Dalton’s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.

An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame – Southern Methodist University game and doesn’t care who wins.

I collect records. And cats. I don’t have any cats right now. But if I’m taking a walk and I see a cat, I’m happy.

There’s always gonna be rock n‘ roll bands, there’s always gonna be kids that love rock n‘ roll records, and there will always be rock n‘ roll.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn’t much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn’t even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.

Technology has allowed people to make records really cheap. You can make a record on a laptop.

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

When I left the University of Notre Dame, I honestly felt I would never coach again.

Every album, I make big records. I’m going to always make an anthem. That’s what I do.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

The only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I’m going be training that child out the womb.
