The open side Defensive End has to be one of your best football players. Size does not matter as much. We want an athletic player who can move around.

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.

Our philosophy doesn't change. We're always competing. But the ways to approach it and the ways to make that up and make it available to our players, there's no end to that. That's why the thought is that you're either competing or you're not, and that's why I'm learning and searching and trying to transfer information to our coaches and to our players.

It's not that you're not smart anymore; it's that you're unwilling to do it. Coaches who coach know what I'm talking about. You just keep battling to help your coaches and your players, to refine your scheme, to break down your opponent, to find ways to travel and take care of your players.

And sure, there's a universe where I made a bonehead call that blew the Super Bowl. But that's not my universe.

I just realized how bad it is when you're not in charge and you're a head coach.

There's nobody playing better than J.R. Sweezy
