I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential.
I'm a little superstitious.
When Super Bowl time comes around, I get jealous.
I don't look at a problem and put variables in there that don't affect it.
You as an individual coach have a responsibility to try to give those players who put themselves at risk and in harm's way a chance to achieve success, and that goes for universities and professional teams, as well.
Well, I've had a long standing relationship with Gatorade and they've been very, very good to me. And I believe in their products, I really do. I've used them for many, many years.
I'm not really in the excuse business.
If you're sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.
The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that.
I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.
If you got anything to you at all as an athlete and a competitor, you don't care what the circumstances are. You still got competition.
I love football; I enjoy it. That's why I've been in this game as many years as I have. I still like it. I get excited about it.
I don't have to make examples out of players to establish my own place. I don't feel like I have to.
The NFL has been good to me.
I can't live my life worrying about something that might never happen.
Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.
I don't think, I don't intend to make people miserable. I am demanding.
I have a lot of great friends in football. The game was great to me. And I've been able to do other things in television and enjoy that, meeting those people.
I've had a long standing relationship with Gatorade, and they've been very, very good to me. And I believe in their products; I really do.
I just coach the way I was coached when I was young, in my formative years. I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.
