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.

The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing.

Watch the film, not the stopwatch.

The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.

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.

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

In order to WIN the game, you must first not LOSE it.
