We spent our whole married life in the ultra-competitive world of professional football, Lauren and I had always tried to view it through God's eyes. As much fun as it was to be winning, we tried not to get caught up in it. We knew that our family life and our faith walk were more important.

Integrity doesn't come in degrees: low, medium, or high. You either have integrity or you don't.

Long-term success requires faith-faith that your efforts to plan and execute the process will lead to the desired outcome.

I just don't think you pass on a great quarterback if you have the opportunity. If need be, you can trade it away.

That's the difference between the NCAA and the NFL right now. They've got to step up and say, 'We're going to do the right thing. We're going to hire qualified people. We're going to hire the best man for the job regardless of what boosters or anyone else has to say.'

When you're in a situation, you can complain about it, you can feel sorry for yourself, you can do a lot of things. But how are you gonna make the situation better?
