bit both burned coming consistent ends leaving looking sometime work
When you look at a coach's life, you are looking at coming to work each day before 6 o'clock and leaving sometime after 12. If you have to be at work before 6, you are up around 4 something. You can't do that on a consistent basis. I think I burned both ends a little bit too much.
health soul
Without your health you have nothing. It made me do some soul searching.
carries command himself kid leadership players stepped
You look at his leadership and the way he carries himself on and off the field. This kid stepped in right away, and all the players migrated to him. He had a command in the huddle, and the leadership just oozes out of him.

It hurts you in your gut. It hurts you all over. There's not very many days that you go through that it's not sticking in your craw. When you line up, when you finish up. You're always thinking about that because you don't want that to happen again.

I'm not one to volunteer to go to the doctor. So quite naturally, when I volunteered, my wife was aware that something serious was going on because that's the last thing I would do.

I'm not going to lie and sit here and say I'm 100 percent. I'm not, but I'm feeling well enough to come back and work and come back and do some things. I'm not going to rush it.
base business coach fan few good guys happened hey honest mirror nature past realize stay upset
I know some guys that will do anything to stay here or play here or do whatever. Hey man, be honest with yourself. Because you have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'Am I good enough or not good enough?' That's the way it is. I've been a coach long enough to realize the nature of this business and what you have to do. I know a lot of things have happened the past few years. I know the fan base is really upset with the way we've played, and they should be.
