Pretty neat little set of videos from a recent interview he gave in Florida tied to his restaurant. Centers a lot on his UF days, but covers the span of his career, from how he started playing football, to how he got into coaching and so on. Still as engaging as ever to listen to.

In addition to video on the page, links to the other videos are in blue text at the bottom. Each video is about 3 minutes long.

Got a little kick when he was looking over his awards and talked about his days at Duke and he said that's where he learned how to coach, not by working under Nick Saban or Bear Bryant.

Also liked when he was talking about the rookie coach award being named after him and he said that he liked the idea when it was proposed to him because he said so many coaches come in their first year with all their excuses lined up "gotta get our own players, gotta change the culture, gotta do this and that first before we start winning."

Anyway, enjoy!

Good to see the coach. In that segment when he's showing off the memorabilia, hats, visors, etc., he's really not moving around very well. Sad to see. Replacement knees extend quality of life for some time, but they have their limitations over time.

Hey, it's coming for a lot of us. I can see me replacing my right one. Not of the same magnitude, but I'm in the midst of cataract surgeries right now.

Seniority has its pitfalls. I know a guy probably 10 years younger than I who had both his knees replaced the same day. That's real grit right there. He gained at least six inches in height by being able to straighten his legs following the procedures, but man!!!

Yeah, it was pretty painful watching him hobble around. He still got that memory though.
