There are two sides to a pancake. One is brown and fluffy; the other is burnt.

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.

I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.

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

I'd like to be somewhere near Lawrence Taylor so I can keep an eye on that sucker.

There's a line, players usually don't cross it and coaches usually don't cross it. Every once in a while you get a little temper tantrum on both sides, I certainly have had 'em. I'm not proud of those.

Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.
