Coach Taylor: Success is not a goal. It's a by-product. So let's put the work in.

Coach Taylor: Sunday. Big championship game. How you feeling?
Matt: Good, I'm feelin' good.
Coach Taylor: Yeah, you think you're ready?
Matt: Yeah!
Coach Taylor: You think he's ready?
Jason: I don't think he's ready.
Coach Taylor: I'm not thinking you're ready either.
Jason: I'm thinking that if he plays up in Dallas like he played last Friday night, they're gonna eat him for breakfast.
Coach Taylor: That's pretty much what I'm thinking.
Jason: I think they're gonna squash him.
Coach Taylor: Pretty much like a bug.
Jason: Like a flea, Saracen.
Coach Taylor: So I don't want you restin' on your laurels, you understand me?
Jason: You don't have any laurels, Saracen.
Coach Taylor: Not a damn laurel. Here's what's gonna happen: You're gonna be workin' with Jason here.
Matt: Okay.
Coach Taylor: You're gonna do everything Jason tells you to. And you're gonna do it 'cause Jason has my blessing. So if he tells you to jump off a cliff, I want you to jump off that cliff. Now you tell me: Saracen, why are you gonna jump off that cliff?
Matt: 'Cause, 'cause he has your blessing?
Coach Taylor: That's exactly right! [To Jason] You have any problems, you let me know.
Jason: Thank you, coach.
Coach Taylor: Have a good day, son. [Leaves the office]
Matt: All right, coach.
Jason: What are you still standing there for, Saracen? Go finish your weights, finish your program. Get your plays. Meet me in the film room for lunch. And get used to that because we're gonna be havin' an awful lot of meals together.
Matt: Well, actually I usually have lunch with Julie.
Jason: I'll take care of Julie for you, don't worry about it. I'll give her a nice call and tell her there's a new girl in town. And that girl is me! Thank you, Saracen. Hit the weights.
Matt: Okay. Great.

Coach Taylor: There's no doubt that J.D. McCoy, he wins when it comes to physical skills. I understand that. Hell, he's got the best arm of any high school quarterback I've ever seen. And that includes Jason Street. And then you've got Matt. Hell, Matt's got the experience. He's got three seasons under his belt. The team knows how to play with Matt. I know what I've got with Matt Saracen.
Tami: That's a hard decision, babe.
Coach Taylor: After everything that kid's been through, I bench him half way through his senior year? It'll kill him.
Tami: I know. And he's like family.
Coach Taylor: I can't make a decision based on that.

Coach Taylor: Tomorrow, every seat in this stadium is gonna be filled up. It's what we've been waiting for. It's what we've been working so hard for. Does it get better than this?
All: No, sir.
Coach Taylor: Oh, hell, I don't think it does. Soak it in.

Coach Taylor: We done fighting?
Tami: Uh huh.
Coach Taylor: I love you. I respect you. I am proud of you. I am in love with you completely. I'm sorry for the way all this happened. [pause] I'll tell you what, though. Austin is going to be good to this family.
Tami: I know it is. But, baby, I'm not going to Austin. I can't leave here now.

Coach Taylor: What you need?
Smash: Look, I'm sorry for what I did. Am I off the team? Look, I know I'm not playing on Friday but am I off the team? Don't I deserve to know?
Coach Taylor: I should've reported this as soon as it happened. I'm risking my job. Inside this house, I've got a wife and a daughter. They depend on me to provide for them. Do you understand that?
Smash: Yes, sir.
Coach Taylor: I don't know what I'm gonna do. When I do know I'll let you know. Until then why don't you do me a favor and just try and keep your mouth shut?
Smash: Yes, sir. You got it.
Coach Taylor: Good night.
Smash: Good night.

Coach Taylor: Wind sprints, up and down the hill. Let's go. Let's go. (whistle blows) If you think you're champions because you wear the Panther uniform. You're wrong! If you think you're champions because they give you a piece of pie at the diner. You're wrong! Champions don't complain! Champions don't give up! Let's go Coach. Send 'em out. [whistle blows] Champions don't give up! Champions don't complain! Champions give 200%. You're not champions until you've earned it!

Coach Taylor: You feel that? There are about 5,000 people out there and they wanna take your dream away from you. You gonna let them take this dream away from us?
Lions: NO, SIR.
Coach Taylor: Are you gonna let our dreams be taken away?!
Lions: NO, SIR.
Coach Taylor: As one, gentlemen. Dear Lord, please allow these young men to safely pursue the height of their excellence tonight, and as a family, allow them to achieve their goals with the gifts with which you have blessed us. Amen.
Lions: AMEN.
Coach Taylor: Now, let's go kick some ass!

Coach Taylor: You got a girlfriend?
Matt: Uh, no, sir.
Coach Taylor: Do you have someone you're interested in?
Matt: Uh...sort, sort of
Coach Taylor: Sort of. Forget about sort of. You know what? Take her out. You understand me?
Matt: Sir?
Coach Taylor: Dinner, movies, get her in the backseat of your car. I don't care, whatever, but I'm telling you, you need to get loose out there. You're wound up tighter then a rubber band out there, son.
Matt: Yes, sir.
Coach Taylor: Good. So tomorrow, you come to practice loose and focused.
Matt: Loose and focused. Yes, sir
Coach Taylor: Get out of here.
Matt: Yes..yes, sir, sorry. Thanks coach.
Coach Taylor: You're welcome.

Coach Taylor: You know the way we're gonna run the play? The way we're gonna do it, right?
Vince: Your way.
Coach Taylor: That's right. The right way.

Coach Taylor: You know what I heard once? I heard that a daughter is supposed to be a comfort and a blessing to her father.
Julie: Texas isn't even a state. Technically it's a Republic. It'd be nice to live somewhere that's actually a part of this planet.

Coach Taylor: You know what I want more than anything? I want to take these kids to state. That's what I want. They deserve it.

Coach Taylor: You may never know how proud I am of you.
Vince: You changed my life, Coach.

Corrina “Mama” Williams: Child, where you been, it's almost time for [Jay] Leno. Brian, you been running this whole time?
Smash: Mostly, I stopped once or twice
Corrina “Mama” Williams:Oh, I think you need to slow down.
Smash: Don't you worry about it.
Corrina “Mama” Williams:: Oh I do worry about it, that's my job
Smash: That's your job? Well I'm doing my job, too, Mama. Alright? I'm so tired, I can barely finish my sets without feeling like I'm gonna fall over and die.
Corrina “Mama” Williams: I know, it's that Po-ist, you just need some time to adjust.
Smash: Mama, I don't have any time! You know what's it's like over there? It's like blood in the water! I mean, I've got backs to try and steal my job, and Coach watching me like a hawk! So no, no I'm not gonna slow down... at least not right now.
Corrina “Mama” Williams: I just worry about you. I know...

Devin: My mom said she'd die before she'd send me there [East Dillon].
Landry: Literally like end her life?
Devin: Hunger strike probably.
