WILL MUSCHAMP

I think you live and learn every day on the job.

You control what you can control.

My dad was a coach and a schoolteacher.

Standing up for what you believe in, to me, is freedom of speech. And that's a right that every American citizen has and what makes this country great.

The biggest thing for me is to be accessible. When a high school coach comes on our campus, they can sit in every position meeting they want to sit in. They can come to every practice. And the comments I've gotten from our high school coaches is how accessible we are to them. That's what you need to do to build those relationships.

The worst thing you can do in a leadership position is be something you're not.

The University of Texas was very good to Will Muschamp and my family.

Life's unfair. You're going to have things happen to you.

There's no better Gamecock than Marcus Lattimore.

When you talk in terms of a rivalry game, it's always important for our guys to understand the history of the rivalry and the history of the game.

I've lined the field. I've washed the uniforms. I've washed my own equipment. Those Division I guys don't understand that. I've worked myself up the ladder.

When a safety makes a mistake in the middle of the field, everybody should notice.

You are what your record is.

One of the great rights as an American citizen is freedom of speech, one of the things that makes this country what it is.

The best friend I have is competition.

Good teams understand how to compete, how to practice the right way.

I couldn't afford to go to an out-of-state school.

I think it's a lack of journalistic integrity to print things with anonymous sources.

Sometimes you've got to put your realistic glasses on and see who you are.

I want the University of Florida to be successful. I'm always going to be a Gator, unless I'm on the other sideline.

I'm a good special teams coach, and I can recruit.

At the end of the day, I grew up wanting to play in the SEC.

It's my favorite thing to do, grilling.

I can't imagine, as a father, losing my son.

Team and individual goals are great, but not understanding how we achieve those goals and the work it's going to take to achieve those goals, if you don't understand that process, then it doesn't matter.
