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

We only wanted to pay significant sums to keep truly special players.

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.

And if God has given you a lot of ability, I believe you should be held to a higher level of expectation.

I love coaching football, and winning a Super Bowl was a goal I've had for a long time. But it has never been my purpose in life. My purpose in life is simply to glorify God. We have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose. I coach football. But the good I can do to glorify God along the way is my real purpose.

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

I am a firm believer that the Lord sometimes has to short-circuit even our best plans for our benefit.
