Baker Mayfield is a rare quarterback who actually plays much better when he is hyper-focused on hating the opponent

Most guys, you try to get them and write the right mindset or mental kind of mental frame of playing their best. Right? Most guys it's like, hey, don't focus on anything else, just play, don't worry about the outside noise. Baker's the few guys I've coached, complete opposite.

The Buccaneers are on 'bummer watch' because their players want to leave specifically because of head coach Todd Bowles

We also had Vita Vea ask for a trade... Baker Mayfield could get a long-term deal, has not yet from the Bucks. Some feels wrong. And I think it's all about Todd Bowles. ... It has nothing to do with the players on the field. It has to do with Todd Bowles. ... The Bucks might be a bummer team. They might be on bummer watch.

Mike Leach's best quality as a head coach was that he didn't care what anybody thought about his coaching hires

I thought he was an elite at hiring people... And the best quality he had in hiring people is he didn't give a damn what anybody thought about who he hired. And it's amazing how many people just wanna win a press conference, right? Just wanna hire a big name to justify this. ... He's hiring people that, and all the Texas Tech people, like, what are you doing? ... But like, he didn't care. Like, he just like, 'I know these people get the job done. That's what I'm doing.' And you look at his tree now... I think it made it more like one of the best hires of people probably in college football history.
