answered asked honestly league meeting questions
I answered all the questions that the league asked me honestly in the meeting on Tuesday,
challenge coach falls good head home pilot rough ship waters
But the good captain's got to pilot ship through the rough waters and get it to home port. That's my challenge as the head coach because it all falls on me.
center football played pushed second turned type winning
No, he didn't get pushed back. I think he just turned around and made the tackle, our center did. I don't think we played any type of winning football offensively, especially in the second half.
bay green
Right after the first Green Bay game, (a 34-31, Nov. 14 Vikings loss), I made us take everything out,
appreciate hope talk
Let's talk about Chicago. It's Friday. It's been a long week, very emotionally drained. I hope you can appreciate that.

guys nature pride prove redemption sam ted tremendous wanting
Redemption is good. All of us by nature have tremendous pride in what we do. We not only have Ted and Sam wanting to prove themselves, we have some other guys who want to prove themselves.
passed point work
I think we've passed the point of having him anointed at any position. I think anything he earns now, he's got to work his way up the ladder.
bother consistency line shown
I think anything from the 36-yard line and in, I'm not going to blink. I think he's shown enough consistency from 54 that it doesn't bother me anymore.
earn four hard hopefully league love proved worked year
I think this year that I proved that I worked hard for four years to earn my stripes, and hopefully there will be other organizations around the league that will see it that way. I love to teach. I love to teach.
