DON'T FEAR FAILURE. Fear being successful at things that don't matter

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.

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.'

I was able to look at football as something that God was allowing me to do, not something that should define me. I couldn't take my identity from this sport.

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

There are two schools of thought. You can be basic and spend all your time on what your opponents are going to do. Or, you can be very multiple and complex, put a lot of doubt in your opponents' minds and create problems for them with the volume of things you do.

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