Actually, I think the meaning is that opportunity is nowhere until you open the doors and opportunity is now here. I thought it was kind of clever but I guess it could be misunderstood.
Derek Dooley (when this first came about): “It’s all how you look at things,” Dooley said. “Any time in life, in football, when things happen to you, you have a choice on how you view it. Some people look at things in a real negative way, alright? ‘The sky is falling. I don’t know how I’m going to get out of this. It’s too hard.' Those are the people that look at that phrase and say, ‘Opportunity is nowhere.’ ”
“But the people that have the right attitude and the right outlook — that no matter what happens in a game, no matter what happens on the field, no matter what happens to you in life, they view it as an opportunity to do great things — see, ‘Opportunity is now here.' ”
“So, of course, that’s what it's for.”
