"If our players worked unusually hard, it may have been partially due to seeing the coaches do the same. We started formal preparation for each upcoming season on August 1 with a series of staff meetings. Withing a few days the freshman reported, and three days later the varsity players arrived. From that point on, the coaching staff did not have a day off until recruiting was over in the middle of February."From "Faith in the Game" by Tom Osborne
