I've always just tried to treat people with respect, build relationships with players and coaches... build a trust.
We have to know that nothing is promised, nothing is guaranteed, especially tomorrow.
I grew up in a football family, on the sideline. I was a waterboy. It was kinda something I was around my whole life.
When you get chemo, some people get a lot of sores in their mouth and even their esophagus, so they chew on ice; thank God that didn't happen with me.
When you have things taken away, you promise you'll never take anything for granted ever again.
With expectations, when you throw that stuff out there, when you put a bunch of pressure on yourself to reach those goals, you don't do anything different. You just keep working to get better.
When I was a kid growing up, my dad being a football coach, he asked the same question of all the assistants that he ever hired: 'Is your goal to be a head football coach?
I am the luckiest man in the world.
My vision is that I'm living to see two more daughters get married, dance at their weddings and then lift the Lombardi Trophy several times.
Ive always been a religious person.
If you don't have your health, you don't have anything.
I've got so many things coming across my desk right now that are nonfootball related, I can't stand it.
Circumstances don't make you, they reveal you .
But regardless of our circumstances, they do not define us - not unless we give in and let them. Circumstances never determine who we are; they reveal who we are.
