My entire life has been spent thinking about this game. That's pretty narrow... I don't view myself as a person who's well-versed in very many subjects. I'm not proud of that.

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

Look, when you are starting to put something together, you want the pudding to come out good. You're trying to put in the right ingredients.

Some guys are just very, very interested in their sport and their predecessors. I know I was a guy like that when I was a young coach. I wanted to know about George Halas, I wanted to know about Jim Lee Howell, guys you don't even know. I wanted to know what they were like. So I read whatever I could get my hands on.

A coach wouldn’t throw you to the wolves if he didn’t think you had some wolf in you.

I can't live my life worrying about something that might never happen.

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.
