Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

If someone remembers me as a coach, they still call me 'Coach,' but if they know me for the video game, they just call me 'Madden.'

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

I've always said winning's the great deodorant, and conversely, when you have a bad record - everything stinks - and everything starts to unravel, and everything falls apart.

Give something that wasn't expected.

Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.

To me, discipline in football occurs on the field, not off it.
