You can't control people. You must understand them. You have to know where they're coming from, their beliefs and values, what turns them off, what they're against.

We'll take what the other team gives us. We'll scratch where it itches.

I learned a great many things in the Marines that helped me as a football coach. The Marines train men hard and to do things the right way, just as a football team must train.

I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family, to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team, too. They'd never seen anything like it.

I'll be here in my home with three big screens. I'll be watching three games at a time, and when they're over, I'll look at three more.

We changed our image. At least when we ran out on the field or broke the huddle, we would look like winners.

We probably spend more time talking about individual players in our coaching sessions than anything else.
