I'm ready to do something different.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

Being involved in competition is a privilege and an opportunity. Seek to make the most of that opportunity by pushing yourself to the limit of your abilities. When it is over, you will have earned the respect of your opponents, your coaches, and yourself.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

I'm very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.
