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.

Don't shed any tears for me. I got to live a dream most people don't get to live.

I hired top-notch people, trusted them to do their jobs, and then came to grips with the fact that I wouldn't be coaching as much.

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

But I know I have a son who doesn't listen to anything I say and if he hears the same thing from someone else, sometimes it has a little more impact.

It's just really making sure I am doing the best job I can do as a dad. I do think that is my No. 1 job.

Stubbornness is a virtue if you are right.
