"It would have to be my high school coach Gerald McCulley. He was a great motivator of high school athletes and his record speaks for itself. He'll be a Hall of Fame coach. He was really a man before the times. He loved throwing the ball around."

"Ron Harvin had a lot to do with coach to be yourself. Do what you do, don't try to be someone else. I think that was important for me and I think that was a big one.

"I don't know that's tough. My high school head coach Lloyd Wertman he's probably been one of my biggest influences of all. Just because he leads such a good life and he's had 13 or 14 football coaches that had played for him. Just a good person that led a good life and showed you that being a coach can be a positive experience. Spending time at Jenks with Coach Trimble is another coach that obviously influenced me."

“Coach Thompson was the gentleman I was under first at Springfield, Missouri. He just taught me how to put discipline in a program and to hold the kids accountable.â€
