Success is the peace of mind that comes when you know you have given everything you have to give to the opportunities that life has presented you.

I always want to do the best that I can with the opportunities that God has given me. The only way that you can possibly do that is to give yourself a chance to go as high as you possibly can. If you don't have the confidence in yourself and you don't have the desire to compete and move ahead, than you start to get stagnant....If I fall a little bit short, then I'm still farther than if I hadn't reached at all.

My responsibility is leadership, and the minute I get negative, that is going to have an influence on my team.

Success is not forever, and failure is never final.

I'm fairly confident that if I died tomorrow, Don would find a way to preserve me until the season was over and he had time for a nice funeral.

And I coached against Mike when he was an assistant with the Bears and they won that football game.

Everything that I have done has always been predicated on doing the best that I can with the ability that God has given me, trying to reach as far as I possibly can. And if I fall a little bit short, then I'm still farther ahead than if I hadn't reached at all.
