Players respond to coaches who really have their best interests at heart.

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

Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team.

I think you can be the greatest orator of all time, the greatest motivator of all times, but if those players know that you don't care about them, and you don't try to understand them, then they're never going to hear what you have to say.

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.

You never really know about a quarterback until he plays in a real game.

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.
