Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.

If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me.

Give role players love. Praise can be most valuable when it’s merited by someone whose supporting role is often overlooked

Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.

We're not playing solitaire out here.

You ask yourself, 'What do you want your legacy to be?' I'm content at this point to say, 'Those who follow me.' Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I've got a pretty good group, so far.

My job is to call attention to the things that I think are the difference between winning and losing. If I can't do that then I have failed as a coach.
