I've really gained an appreciation for what coaches do since I returned to the NFL.

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.

One thing I want you to understand is if I make a decision, it's my decision.

I am sure there is a right way and a wrong way and in today's life, there are many different rules of being politically correct.

The thing that I want to do, the most important thing to me is winning. How we do it, I really don't care.

What made it so special were the players. They were some of the most outstanding men I have ever been around in my life. The coaches were truly professionals. I wish the 49ers nothing but the best. I am thankful to the York family for having given me the opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL. I am indebted to them for that. I am also thankful for the Faithful fans, I am just sorry I couldn't give them more.

Every day I've got to get up and make a decision. I have an opportunity every day to affect young men and the coaches that are around me, the entire organization and the entire community.
