Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.

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 only thing even in this world is the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.

I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face.

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.

There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.

I don't apologize for anything. When I make a mistake, I take the blame and go on from there. I just despise to lose, and that has taken a man of mediocre ability and made a pretty good coach out of him.
