I never wanted our players to think the Super Bowl was the ultimate. I always talk about 'Yes, we're going to win, but what are we going to do as we're winning? What are we going to do after we win?' Winning the Super Bowl is not the destination. It's not an end point. It's what you do from here.

Be successful not just in what you do, but in who you are.

When I was younger I only read sports books. I loved the biographies that told how athletes developed. When I got into coaching, I did start to read more instructional books, but I was always more interested in the people behind the ideas.

The fundamental keys to the culture of any organization can only be achieved when everyone is on the same page.

The game has changed since the '70s as more coaches have looked at ways to make it tougher on defenses. But I'm glad my career turned out the way it did - I would have never gotten a chance to learn the defensive side of the ball.

I am a firm believer that the Lord sometimes has to short-circuit even our best plans for our benefit.

Change isn't always bad; we should always be learning and improving. But the change I was seeing involved principles, not procedures.
