One of my favorite guys was Ronnie Lott. I had and have such tremendous respect for him that when I finally got a chance to coach him, I couldn't get enough of uncovering and understanding what made him tick and what made him be who he was.

If you create a vision for yourself, and stick with it, you can make amazing things happen in your life.

People make mistakes all the time. We learn and grow. If theres patience and love, and you care for people, you can work them through it, and they can find their greatest heights.

The only competition that matters is the one that takes place within yourself.

We've lost a lot of coaches around here, but the philosophy and the approach, the standards we have set and the expectations we have maintained have always been upheld from one year to the next.I attribute that to the great character of the players and the willingness of the coaches to not get influenced and get off-message and to get out of the way.

The how-to is all about day in, day out finding a way to feed the monster, the drive that lives inside.

The thing that always strikes me is how much power one person has. Everybody has so much power to help and to change if they just exercise it and get after it.
