clear difficulty felt few football guys league national sailing takes winner
We felt he still has what it takes to be a winner in the league and to be a leader. Difficulty is a part of the game. There are very few guys who have clear sailing in the National Football League.
brooks came florida guy helped leader level state team win
You go down to Florida State and he is kind of the No. 1 guy on a team with a lot of big-time players. They fashioned him to be on the level of a Derrick Brooks when he came out of there and (he) was a big-time leader and helped them win a lot of games.
coaching regardless winning
There's no way that I would have come back to coaching if I didn't want to win, because winning is a big part of my personality, regardless of what I do.
beforehand chance close game happened win
That was another close game we just couldn't win at the end. There were a lot of things that should have happened beforehand to give us a chance to win that ballgame, so it never does come down to one play.
anybody arizona buddy coach dave falls head last losing players playing responsibility ryan whoever winning worrying year
Most of the players are new, so they shouldn't be worrying about that. As I've said to the players, WE are the Arizona Cardinals. It's not Buddy Ryan as head coach or Dave McGinnis, and it isn't whoever playing quarterback. The responsibility of winning and losing falls on our shoulders, not anybody else and not what was done last year or 10 years ago.

equal football great happen happens helps hope matter million money proven share spend spending super teams television win yankees
But that's what's great about this league. Teams like us have hope every year. Football is different from baseball. We share television revenues. That helps equal things out. Plus, it's never been proven that the more money you spend will help you win a Super Bowl. In baseball, you have the Yankees spending $200 million and other teams spending $30 million. That won't happen in football, no matter what happens with the CBA. That's why we're different. That's why teams like us have a chance.
fortunate home last season win
We were fortunate to win at home last season (against the Rams and Seahawks).
close easier lose strongly turn win
The more you lose close games, the easier it is to lose close games. We would like to turn that around. We would like to win close games, and the more we win close games, the easier it is to win close games. To do that, we had to make some changes. I feel very strongly about that.
adrian best order wilson win
Adrian Wilson is really one of the best safeties in the game. (But) you have to win in order to get some recognition.
came chance guys hard played short upsets win
I think that our guys played hard and that's really what you want. We had a chance to win it. Where we came up short in that we did not win it. That's what upsets you as a coach.
expected fact gnawing
What's gnawing at me is the fact that I've not done as well as I expected to do.
scratch secret start success
The Secret of success is to start from scratch & keep scratching
upsets
Things have to go the way you want them to go, and I think that's probably what upsets me the most as a coach.
