A head coach leaving for another job doesn't actually distract a team from playing well

Actually the more when people say like, oh, teams are distracted, they can't play well... We played really well at FAU. Actually I take the Ole Miss job that morning of the conference championship. We don't play till later in the day. The players are actually seeing it. We're telling 'em they're seeing it on Sports Center that we're leaving, leaving and then we go win by like 40 in the conference championship game. As long as you're open with them.

A subjective coaching philosophy supported by his personal anecdote.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

Big Cat predicted the series was 'over' for the Cavaliers after they lost Game 1 to the Knicks. The New York Knicks went on to sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, confirming the Cavaliers' elimination from the playoffs.

Managing COVID-19 protocols is more important than roster talent for winning in 2020

I think more important than everything to win this year's is who handles COVID the best, who handles social distancing the best so that they can have the best players out there.

Roster availability due to COVID protocols was indeed a major storyline and affected several key games in the 2020 season.

Coach O is the alpha in a room full of SEC West coaches

In coaching especially that you got national championship coaches... I would say Coach O probably would win in the end... he would probably bring his own 600 pounds of crawfish to the table too.

Subjective opinion about personality dynamics.

Football teams would be more effective if they played more like they were on a playground or in a video game using downfield laterals

If you would play more like you playing the park or like people play video games I bet you'd be better in some areas, you know, you catch it and guys are there you just throw it over there [laterally]... but we don't do that because you know ball security, but I do think there is something to that.

This is a subjective strategy opinion, though the rise of lateral-heavy offenses (like Kelce to Perine) suggests he was onto something.
