Darrell Royal, former Texas HC, on when he visited Longhorn practices during Mack Brown’s tenure as the Horns’ HC:
“The coaches are nice enough to explain to me what they're doing and what they're trying to accomplish. I see a lot of time-saving drills that have been instituted since my coaching days. And I just wondered, why didn't we think of having the drill in this manner so we could get in more repetitions? That's what practice is for, to repeat over and over situations that you're going to see in an actual game. And the more repetitions you get, the better off the drill. I never liked coaches to stop and coach players after every move they made. It takes time away from them repeating it over and over and over till it gets so they don't have to think in those situations: they just react, and react to something that they learned in a drill.”
