I have had players who are good, and who know they are good; I have had players who are bad and know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.
Get the winners into the game.
First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.
You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.
Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half.

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, then we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games.

When you can't score from the 1, you don't deserve to win.
When you get in the endzone act like you've been there before.
