When you get wet, it usually means something good.
Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling.
Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it’s not the best thing for you.
There is an old saying about the strength of the wolf is the pack, and I think there is a lot of truth to that. On a football team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.
For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.
There are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.
To live in the past is to die in the present.
Whatever success I’ve had it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters.

I’m tired of pretending I’m not a rock star from Mars.
I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I’m accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.

We’re not polishing fine china here.
You can play hard. You can play aggressive. You can give 120% but if one guy is out of position then someone is running through the line of scrimmage and he is going to gain a bunch of yards.
I’m not really worried about the other 31 teams.
I think it’s relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re talking about here with Seattle.
