The more you prepare beforehand, the more relaxed and creative and effective you’ll be when it counts.

I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.

I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.

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

Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?

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.

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.
