When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.
Winning coaches look for opportunities to praise. Anything that reflects a commitment to the team is praiseworthy
You can easily separate 'team guys' from 'me guys' by how they accept coaching. The guys that accept it are about winning
A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart
I'm not a bus-station kind of guy, but there are a few players here I'm not sure want to be here. They've got a brook-trout kind of look.
It was a dumb thought process. The players bailed me out.
I'm not satisfied with the position. I don't think we're solid yet.
I'm not overly proud of 9-7. I'm really not. It really wasn't a good performance. It was one of those where you don't have much good to say. I'm just disappointed.
I'm disappointed with the outcome, I'm not disappointed with the effort. I thought we played pretty solid on defense, until that last run.
Not at all. He was just throwing it indiscriminately then.
Contract extension? Well, when it's appropriate, we'll see. I don't want to talk about that either.
After his first year, there were a lot people (doubting him). But he fought them off. He did a pretty good job.
I got two high-strung players, you know? That's it.
I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it.
