Larry Conley Quotations

Sure, there were times when I hated the man but like all great coaches he was a great teacher. He would settle for nothing less than our very best. That's what a coach should do.

I think if neither one of them makes the NCAA tournament, they'll probably drape the state in black.

I think he would be interviewed, absolutely. By the same token, he got a contract a couple of years ago that pays him pretty well. This is a heck of a program. It would tough to pick up and leave what he's got going right now.

There's no question that we were not expected to be there. We weren't picked to be in the top two or three in the Southeastern Conference. With nobody over 6-5, there was no way we were going to be there, so looking back, we did accomplish a great deal.

People say it's considered the biggest time of the year for eating. I just enjoy eating a lot of food and being with friends and family.

You should see us with all of our players. We had to leave our black players at home.

They've got a ton of good young talent in this league.

After this go-around, particularly with the movie, then you can pretty much put it on the shelf.

I left some green beans and mashed potatoes on that track the first week, I want to tell you. It was hard. Really hard.

I just can't wait to visit with all of my old teammates and catch up with so many people. That's what's really most important.

If I could explain that to you, I'd be the greatest sports consultant in history. No one knows what brings teams together.

From ev'ry single window, I see your face. But when I reach a window there's an empty space.

I wish I could anticipate some of the stories and lies that will be told. It's going to be great to get everyone together so we can tell all of the families, all of the wives and children, just how good we were because they never got to see us play.
