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.

If you have fun, fine. It's not all life and death.

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.

I only want my team to play to its potential, as I perceive it to be. I really don't have any regard for anyone else's perception.

Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.

Don't tell me about the pain. Show me the baby.

Nowadays, if you are afraid of confrontation, you are not going to do very well.
