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.

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.

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

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

I'd rather play with 10 people and just get penalized all the way until we have to do something else rather than play with 11 when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team.

If a dad does his job, we don't need prisons, we don't need jails. That's what I saw growing up.
