One ritual is to be very nervous before the game.
I can't help that. I have tried to change it but I am always nervous. But I am not really a superstitious guy. But I do have a few routines that we do.
Sometimes I actually change things up on purpose just to prove that maybe it is not the underwear I am wearing that is going to help us win.
So I do change things up but I always am nervous and I always pray to God that we play our best.
Well, I haven't had a chance to get out too much in Knoxville since I haven't been here very long
but I do enjoy walking out and looking at the view of the mountains.
and I hope to enjoy some time out on the lake, whenever I can get a little time off.
I hope it's coming soon. But now that it is warmed up we can get out on the lake.
I think I am one of the few coaches that can actually read the 500 page NCAA rule book
and know what it says. But I think the biggest thing a law degree does is it helps you solve problems and anticipate problems when you make decisions.
And I think even though it doesn't prepare you specifically for which problem,
it does give you some openmindedness to understand all the issues that may come into play when you make a decision.
and in my job you make a lot of decisions every day.
I wouldn't call them tips but I do think that he established a certain value set in me.
on my approach at work. And how I work
and my work ethic and the integrity in which I work with.
So some of the fundamental values of how to manage a football team
and how to approach your work I think I carry with me from my childhood.
