The ability of a defense to dominate and stop the run forces you into a one-dimensional game. You come out wanting to play ball control, field position, but by the second quarter, you're down by 17 and you're forced to throw.
Do what's right! Do the best you can and treat others the way you want to be treated because they will ask three questions: (1) Can I trust you? (2) Are you committed? (3) Do you care about me as a person?
My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for.
My athletes always follow my advice... unless it conflicts with what that they want to do.
I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn't have put the desire in me.
My wife doesn't even want to spend 2 hours with me.
I bet you went on one date and wanted to get married.
Actually, all I ever wanted to be was the best in my field.
The freedom to do your own thing ends when you have obligations and responsibilities. If you want to fail yourself - you can - but you cannot do your own thing if you have responsibilities to team members.
It always amazes me that spectators want to coach, coaches want to officiate, and officials just want to watch the game
We aren't where we want to be; we aren't where we ought to be; but thank goodness we aren't where we used to be.
I've said this all along, I don't know how good we can be because I haven't played anybody on our schedule. But at the same time, I look at it and say - 'We don't have anybody on our schedule that we've beaten that last three years,' ... So, I don't know how we compare to everybody, but I think with the way this team is working, they have chance, at least, to be competitive.
I should have put 'em on a bus. They got home in four hours, rather than four days.
Our defense is playing very well, ... They haven't given up the big play.
