You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.
That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
Don't worry about making friends; don't worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can't hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can't stand you.
