leader appreciated needed
Leaders are never appreciated or needed until you don't have them,
football play people
We want the right people, the ones who love to play football. I want a guy who, if I punch him in the mouth, doesn't stand there and say, ?Why did you punch me?' I want the guy who punches me back first, and then asks me why I did it.
mother running winning
I'd run over Russ Grimm's mother to win the Super Bowl, too.
jobs should-have years
What I should have done, if I was going to be a GM, was gone on the road, gotten into the personnel a lot better. To do that job, you've gotta do it all year. I just did it at draft time.
jobs player thinking
I think every coach has to adapt to what they have, because they're what you get. You can't just go out to the player tree and pick all the great ones. That doesn't happen. You get a Barry Sanders every now and then. You get a Billy Sims every once in a while. And when you have it, you adapt to their strengths. Whoever comes in here and whoever has this job needs to adapt and will do that.
coaching emphasis good staff
This is a good coaching staff - with the emphasis on coaching. That's what I'm seeing.
I wouldn't put him on a boat. That I wouldn't do.
