Most importantly though, I am thankful for his friendship. The times that we are together on trips, having dinner, playing golf, or hunting are times I truly cherish, and I value his friendship; it means a great deal to me."</em> - <strong>Peyton Manning</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>"I give Coach Donahue a lot of credit for my success. He was such a great example for those he coached. He carried himself with class and integrity and always taught us to keep things in the proper perspective.</em>" - <strong>Troy Aikman</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>"Playing for Coach Spurrier changed the trajectory of my life. He had a combination of two seemingly contradictory qualities: he was the most detail-oriented, somewhat perfectionistic coach I've ever had, and he had an extremely flexible part of himself that would constantly explore better options and make on-the-spot adjustments that would take weeks for other coaches to consider."</em> - <strong>Danny Wuerffel</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>"Coach Switzer had a way of motivating his players to perform. At a time when most coaches rule with an iron hand or fear, Coach Switzer used positive reinforcement and that made all the difference."</em> - <strong>Keith Jackson</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>"The smartest decision I ever made was to play for Coach Dooley at the University of Georgia. His honesty and integrity exhibited during the recruiting process [when I was] in high school when we met has never wavered.</em>" - <strong>Scott Woerner</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>"Coach Slocum taught me some of the most important virtues as a young man. He taught us to do the right thing all the time and not just some of the time.</em>" - <strong>Dat Nguyen</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><br>
