When I was coaching with the Patriots, the players pulled a practical joke and I said, 'Do you think I'm Charlie the Tuna, like a sucker?' After that, they called me Tuna.

God's been good to me, He really has.

Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.

I don't like celebrity quarterbacks. We don't need those. We need battlefield commanders.

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.

All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

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