I do not think being a coordinator is a requirement, but it does give you some advantages. You get used to working with half the team and you go through the game-planning and decision-making processes.

The first thing you have to do is make sure you're still wanted back. I never take that for granted any more.

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.

I talk to our players about life and situations and doing the right thing all the time.

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

Once a player joins our team, our priority is to teach him, not worry about the player we didn't select.

If you're a leader, people's lives should be better because of the influence you've had along the way.
