People's perception changes so fast. You win, and people say, 'Well, he had all of those sanctions at USC, and that's why he lost.' You lose, and, 'OK, he's a bad head coach, and he's just a good play-caller wherever he has been.'
As far as the bowl games, I don't think the players really play for that. Not at USC.
I think I was 24 when I went to USC with Pete Carroll. Pete believed in people and never worried about their age. I learned that from him.
I have a 'Golden Tee' machine in my house.
I don't know if God is a sports fan or not, but I do know this: He loves a good comeback.
When God gives you a second chance, it's not something you take for granted.
