When I look in the mirror in the morning, I want to take a swing at me.

Paralyze resistance with persistence.

The only meaningful statistic is number of games won.

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.

The most deceptive course in football is straight at the goalposts.

The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt—and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.

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.
