"You're an all-american and a captain, act like it!"
"I believe I am."

Except it didn't happen. Dan Devine was unfairly portrayed in that movie. Not that he was always Mr Nice Guy to his players but they took some inaccurate cheap shots at him in the movie.

Something a lot of people don't know - the first black player to suit up at Missouri was Norris Stevenson who became a preacher after college. At Dan Devine's request Norris gave the eulogy at Dan's funeral. Norris asked Dan what he should say and Dan told him "you will know".
