A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.

It's not pleasant when you lose your whole football team.

Pressure is something you feel when you do not know what you are doing.

Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.

Some citizens are so good that nothing a leader can do will make them better. Others are so incorrigible that nothing can be done to improve them. But the great bulk of the people go with the moral tide of the moment. The leader must help create that tide. Some coaches pray for wisdom. I pray for 260-pound tackles. They'll give me plenty of wisdom.

On every team, there is a core group that sets the tone for everyone else. If the tone is positive, you have half the battle won. If it is negative, you are beaten before you ever walk on the field.

Champions are champions not because they do anything extraordinary but because they do the ordinary things better than anyone else.
