You might reduce Lombardi's coaching philosophy to a single sentence: In any game, you do the things you do best and you do them over and over and over.

Don't do anything in practice that you wouldn't do in the game.

What makes a good coach? Complete dedication.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don't mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. When they boo you, you know they mean you. Music, that's what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.

At least 80 percent of the success of the football team is determined by the fight and spirit that they put into their play.

Nobody who has ever given his best has regretted it.
