The further I get away from coaching, the more I know I made the right decision. You almost forget how wonderful family life is.

If you're just saying, hey, I'm doing this. I'm working to make money. I'm working to increase my status. If that's all there is, I think you will find out that it's meaningless.

You have gifts, abilities, and dreams no one else has.

I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games.

Our goal was to win, to win a Super Bowl, but also to win in the right way, to be role models to our community, to represent Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and the National Football League.

We wanted guys who had been productive in college, and we made it a point to pick performance over potential.

Keeping ridiculous hours doesn't mean you'll be successful.
