Bobby Bowden Work Quotations

A guy's who has all the money he needs and never faced any hard times, he won't have any character. But when you've had it tough and you've had it rough and you thought you were at the end of the rope and you work your way out of it, that's the way you build character.

The fact is, you just can't be great every year. It just don't work that way. I think it kind of goes in cycles.

I would expect him to be here. It is the right thing for him to do. He recognizes that he has some work to do, but he knows that he has some tools.

He has come out and run some and thrown the ball in drills; nothing live. He's getting some good work and that's what he needs to try to get himself back in there.

It comes when you least expect it. The defense played super, but we gotta work on the quarterbacks.

I think you can make more money if you stay another year in school and work toward getting your diploma. But, if there are extenuating circumstances, then I will support the decision to enter the draft. Antonio is an outstanding athlete and there is no doubt that he has the ability to play in the NFL.

Like I've always said, I think you can make more money if you stay another year in school and work toward getting your diploma. But if there are extenuating circumstances, then I will support the decision to enter the draft. Antonio is an outstanding athlete and there is no doubt that he has the ability to play in the NFL.

You ain't going to win 10 games every year. We've already done the impossible. You think anybody will ever do again what we did, 14 years in a row (ending the season ranked in the) top five? You think anybody will do that again? ... Everybody expects that every year and gosh, it just don't work that way.

We just haven't gotten control of a doggone ballgame early enough to get him the work that I'd like to give him,

Boy, it is tough and it might even be unfair ù especially to be an offensive coordinator. But I want somebody I can trust. If I can't be at work or I have to go out of town, if I'm sick, I know he's going to be there working. But boy, being your son, it is tough. But it's good for him, because when he goes to coach... you have to learn how to handle it. It makes you tough.

You sure would like to (get Lee in the game), ... We haven't gotten control of a ballgame enough to get him the work that I would like to get him. We might force ourselves to do it earlier this week.

It seems to go in spells. If you go three or four games without a turnover, you'd better get ready for a big one. If you think you're going to keep going that way forever, it doesn't work that way.
