You know it's only 50 miles but I've relished every moment of the longer route to get here. Thanks for letting me reflect on those great moments. Thank you.

You know it's only 50 miles from Grand River to Canton, but it took me 67 years to travel that distance.

I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.

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

And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.

One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.

And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season.
