bottom line
The bottom line is winning. I want to do what we need to do to win football games.
people
I want winners. I want people who want to win.
great
'How' is a great thing to know. 'Why' is the ultimate. I'm the 'why' coach. Why are we doing this? Why are we not doing that? Why is this not working? Those are the things I want to know.
whatever win
The No. 1 thing is you want to be able to win the game, and we're going to do whatever we have to do to win the game.
life longest played sat won
My first game, I played the first play of the game and called a timeout and got sat down, got benched for the rest of the game, and we won the game. It was the longest day of my life. Long day. Very embarrassing.
bottom later line trying
All I know is, I was trying to win the football game. And the bottom line is, you have to do what you think is right. You have to go with your gut. And if you don't do that, then I think you regret a lot of things later on.
count guy jeff knows lose week whether wonder worry
You lose a guy that you count on every week a blue-collar guy. You never have to worry about, 'I wonder whether Jeff knows the play.' He knows it, probably better than you do.
closer giving hear knee needed originally past played saw summer tears took tough work
It was tough to hear that (I needed surgery) at first. I'd played through the summer (in an AAU season) with my knee giving me trouble. I thought I could work past it or put it off. Then they went in and took a closer look and saw that there were a lot more tears than what they originally thought.
best everybody gives move opportunity season sit
I just feel that after the season that we have to sit down - as well as myself, everybody - and try and look at what gives us the best opportunity to move going forward.
biggest coaching decided decision felt knew point prayer supposed together wife
The biggest thing for me was getting to a point where my wife and I together felt that it was time, ... It was a very important decision for us. Coaching was something I always wanted to do; I just never knew if I was supposed to do it. After much prayer and conversation, we decided it was time.
discipline game guys played
A lot of guys that played this game ... they had a lot of discipline, they had a gift,
life maybe
Sometimes you get to a place in life where you feel you've made some choices, and maybe they weren't the right choices, and that it's all coming to an end.
believe coaches fast good half hate league million reasons sit
I can sit here and think of a million reasons why it hasn't happened, ... I believe it's coming. No, it hasn't been fast enough. At the same time, I would hate to see a league with half African-American coaches ... if they're not good coaches.
across character great year
This is a great year for linebackers. Great character guys, hard-working. ... Across the board, it's a great crop.
