If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.

In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.

I can reach a kid who doesn't have any ability as long as he doesn't know it.

I told them my system was based on the "ant plan," that I'd gotten the idea watching a colony of ants in Africa during the war. A whole bunch of ants working toward a common goal.

I don't have any ideas; my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.

There's no substitute for guts.

Winning isn't imperative, but getting tougher in the fourth quarter is.
