This season isn't going to be without several crises. There's no doubt about it. They're coming.

If you're sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.

Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.

I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.

Winning coaches look for opportunities to praise. Anything that reflects a commitment to the team is praiseworthy

All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

I'm glad we were able to win this last one. I saw some good things tonight, ... It's just preseason, but we ran the ball good. I'm happy about that, and the first-team offense was pretty sharp.
