The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.

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

I talked to the team a lot about staying power. You never find out if you have that until you've been beaten down a few times.

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

If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

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

Success is never final, but failure can be.
