What's important is not the accolades and memories of success but the way you respond when opportunities are denied.

I always liked to be fairly simple because you could get more players ready to play quickly. If you lose players to free agency, injuries, etc., it is easier to get young players ready to play in a less complex system.

I can't very well preach unity and tell the guys we're all in this together and everyone's important, then cut a guy because we might improve by one percent if we bring in someone else.

They were unwillingly to give 100 percent if they didn't personally think it was important. What you don't understand is the champions know it's all important.

Stubbornness is a virtue if you are right.

How you use the opportunities your given to affect the world around you will determine the legacy you leave behind.

Chuck Noll knew how he could help people. He was a teacher. He was a guy that was very good at selecting people, getting them to fit in. He wasn't the guy that was going to sit there and motivate you, intrinsically. That wasn't what he was best at. So he hired people that were good at that.
