The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
The one thing that I know is that you win with good people.
Success is not forever and failure isn't fatal.
I never felt I knew it all. I always felt there's something new to learn, something new to do.
The thing we found out was, when you get to a Super Bowl, both teams are treated the same, talked about in glowing terms. But when the game is over, only the team that won matters.
And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.
I coached against Dave the last couple of years, and I was very proud to be the first time a father ever coached against his son. He beat me for 30 minutes the first time and 59 and a half minutes the second time.
And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season.
I can't control the criticism. It's something you certainly don't appreciate, but by the same token, everybody is entitled to their opinion.
And I coached against Mike when he was an assistant with the Bears and they won that football game.
Anybody that's a Dolphins fan feels they're headed in the right direction.
What I learned from that loss, and also another loss that I'm going to talk about later, was that when you're there, it's not good enough to be there, when you're there, you better walk away with that ring.
