An individual can make a difference, but a team can make a miracle.
I'm not a big social media guy, I have no Twitter accounts, I don't have Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, I don't do any of that stuff.
Everybody is going to have a bad game. One game does not decide somebody's season.
Communicate with the front office, communicate with the staff, communicate with the secretaries, everybody. And make everybody feel a part of something. That's important.
I think the quarterback position is not one that's exempt from competition.
I don't have an ego. I check it at the door.
I think there comes a time with a quarterback, especially when things go a little sideways, that players begin to try to do things a little uncharacteristic of what they've done in the past.
I just think you can't get caught up with who's on the other side. Everybody in the NFL is good. Every team is good.
I tell the players all the time: ‘There is no magic play.' Players make the plays.
They fire coaches before players.
Our players are not immune to the things that are going on in society.
For me it was just about staying the course, staying true to who I believe that I am, being open, being honest, being transparent with the players, being firm with the players but at the same time listening to the players.
With the quarterback position, because you're touching the ball every single snap, you want to make a play and you just have to guard against that. It's about making the plays that come to you, not necessarily chasing after plays.
In order to be the champion, you've got to play the best, you've got to beat the best.
I loved coaching.
And I get asked all the time about my career, growing up as an athlete, as kind of an underdog type of player. I thought, what better to get your message out than to do a book?
You know, it sounds a little, it sounds bad, but… I love being touted as being aggressive.
Coaches respect each other, and it's a tough business.
I was hired to be the head football coach, not the general manager.
I don't want to put my game plan out there for everybody to see it and read it and teams can scheme. It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
