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.

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

Nobody intimidates me.

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

I think a man becomes less than a man when he begins to compromise on what he believes is right.

It's very important that you focus on winning games and being consistent down the stretch. I think that's what we're focused on. All of the other stuff about who wins and who loses and how many wins do we need, if we're focusing on that, then that's not good.

You want to learn everything that you possibly can, chew it, digest it, and take it for what it is, and then move on.
