I Tell Young Players Who

I Have Always Tried To Teach My Players To Be Fighters. When I Say That, I Don't Mean Put Up Your Dukes And Get In A Fistfight Over Something. I'm Talking About Facing Adversity In Your Life. There Is Not A Person Alive Who Isn't Going To Have Some Awfully Bad Days In Their Lives. I Tell My Players That What I Mean By Fighting Is When Your House Burns Down, And Your Wife Runs Off With The Drummer, And You've Lost Your Job And All The Odds Are Against You. What Are You Going To Do? Most People Just Lay Down And Quit. Well, I Want My People To Fight Back.

I Don't Hire Anybody Not Brighter Than I Am. If They're Not Brighter Than I Am, I Don't Need Them.

Three Rules For Coaching: 1.) Surround Yourself With People Who Can't Live Without Football. 2.) Recognize Winners. They Come In All Forms. 3.) Have A Plan For Everything.

Be Aware Of "yes" Men. Generally, They Are Losers. Surround Yourself With Winners. Never Forget - People Win.

I'm Happy With The Coach We Have. I Think Any One Of The Ones I Asked Them To Consider Would've Been Good.
