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.

It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.

A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart

The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability.

I'm trying to keep my own house from burning down. I can't worry about someone else's house.

I think confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.

I'm not really in the excuse business.
