Football represents and embodies everything that's great about this country, because the United States of America is built on winners, not losers or people who didn't bother to play.

In football we always said that the other team couldn't beat us. We had to be sure that we didn't beat ourselves. And that's what people have to do, too - make sure they don't beat themselves.

Even the best team, without a sound plan, can't score.

Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it.

Perfect preparation prevents piss-poor performance.

The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.

The height of human desire is what wins, whether it’s on Normandy Beach or in Ohio Stadium.
