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.

I think the stress of having to continue to fight the fight day in and day out, whatever it is, that which keeps you driving. You can get to a place where you no longer want to do that.

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.

It isn't about the words you say. It's about the energetic message you send.

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.

If you want to win forever, you've got to ALWAYS COMPETE.

Congrats to Clare Farnsworth on a legendary career! One of the all-time great Seahawks! We will miss you Clare!
