"I'm a part of that belief, for six years I made no money, lived in my car, made no money for three months," Hart added. "Don't many people know that because I believe in what I want to do and now I sit in front of you as a Power 4 coach."

Hart says that with the right motivation and belief in yourself, you can accomplish anything, so he wants Colorado players to have the belief in themselves to help them this season, and shock the college football world.
