I’m sure there’s a right way and there’s a wrong way. The bottom line is you have to do what you think is right.
I think a man becomes less than a man when he begins to compromise on what he believes is right.
Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team.
I feel that a great coach is one that has a vision, sets a plan in place, has the right people in place to execute that plan and then accepts the responsibility if that plan is not carried out.
I think you can be the greatest orator of all time, the greatest motivator of all times, but if those players know that you don’t care about them, and you don’t try to understand them, then they’re never going to hear what you have to say.
If a dad does his job, we don’t need prisons, we don’t need jails. That’s what I saw growing up.
You want to learn everything that you possibly can, chew it, digest it, and take it for what it is, and then move on.
I want winners. I want people that want to win.
Every day I’ve got to get up and make a decision. I have an opportunity every day to affect young men and the coaches that are around me, the entire organization and the entire community.

The thing that I want to do, the most important thing to me is winning. How we do it, I really don’t care.
When you look at a family, if you have a family that never interacts with each other, never has strong conversation with each other, never has disagreements, nine times out of ten you have a very cold family and they’re not going to be, at the end, they’re not going to be close.
You never really know about a quarterback until he plays in a real game.
One thing I want you to understand is if I make a decision, it’s my decision.
It’s very important that you focus on winning games and being consistent down the stretch. I think that’s what we’re focused on. All of the other stuff about who wins and who loses and how many wins do we need, if we’re focusing on that, then that’s not good.
I’ve really gained an appreciation for what coaches do since I returned to the NFL.
Players have responsibility, and if they don’t do their job, certain things happen. Coaches have responsibility. If they don’t do their job, things happen.
Nobody intimidates me.
Players respond to coaches who really have their best interests at heart.
I used my pants to illustrate.
