If I'm a head coach and my starting quarterback leaves for the season, and I have the leading rusher in the NFL last year, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know my game plan,
My game is me. I didn't try to pattern my game after nobody.
Some of these kids are spending more time with the coaches than they are with their parents. The coach is supposed to be raising these kids, not belittling them and talking to them like the world is coming to an end.
One of the things I've always said is that if you're given the ability to coach kids, then you're really given the ability to be a father or parent of some sort.
Coaching is something I've been a part of my entire life. One of the things I've always been very passionate...
Watching the season for me is about watching the chess matches.
In an era that's run on free agency, everybody's going where the dollars are. They go after the dollars and they forget that the game will always come down to brotherhood.
The refs are so confused themselves because there's so many rules. It's like, 'Oh my gosh I've never seen this many rules in my life.' And everybody's trying to govern this and justify that.
It's poetry to watch the game when the game is left alone, when there's not a bunch of flags on the ground.
No coach who is coaching kids should ever curse a kid.
I don't train for sports. I've never trained for sports. I train for life, and sport is just a part of that. So when I start training, that's lifestyle training and that's why I go through so many things, whether it's yoga, kickboxing, wrestling or swimming.
I've never stopped loving the game since day one. If it were a job to me it would be very hard for me to get up in the morning. And why leave something that you can never come back to? Realistically, whether you accept it or not, you only get one wave in this journey. Run at it as hard as you can.
Any game that you step on, you can get beat.
When you try to help people become a better person, you're going to have to find out what's really going in their world.
