I think he's got good potential, but he needs a lot of work.

I'm not really in the excuse business.

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.

My job is to call attention to the things that I think are the difference between winning and losing. If I can't do that then I have failed as a coach.

I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.

You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.

All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn't any hole to run through.
