TOP QUOTES FROM COACH COLE

Reducing Distractions in Football Coaching: "It's a lot of distractions when it comes down to a coaching football, team and program. And so that's one of the number one things—cut down some of the distractions."

HBCU Football Priorities: "He don't think that Black College takes football serious. And it is some truth to that, you know, to to make sure that there are some priorities."

Chennis Berry on Discipline: "I've watched the game that where a kid had a personal foul, and he when when he took the kid out, he pointed to the locker room."

First-Year Coaching Challenges: "If you look stat wise, nobody's willing to score a lot of points in the second half."
