If I’m chatting to someone who’s an anxious wreck and I don’t understand it, because I’ve never been anxious, then it’s strange. There’s no real way of talking to them about it without saying, ‘I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. I’m better than you.’

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn’t much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn’t even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.
