In the end, I've found, people like the direct approach. It's much more valuable to them to have a leader who's absolutely clear and open than to have one who soft-soaps or talks in circles.

I don't think, I don't intend to make people miserable. I am demanding.

So if the players trust the coach, it's not a problem. If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.

All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart.

What sets disciplined people apart? -- The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.

I just coach the way I was coached when I was young, in my formative years. I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.

I don't look at a problem and put variables in there that don't affect it.

I can't live my life worrying about something that might never happen.

By and large, I've been healthy all my life.

I think confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.

When Super Bowl time comes around, I get jealous.

I am demanding.

The quarterback is in charge of the chuck wagon. He's handing it out here and there, but he can't just throw it out there indiscriminately or the wolves will get him.

My expectations are greater than the average fan's but, I'm more realistic than the top prognosticators.

There are two sides to a pancake. One is brown and fluffy; the other is burnt.

Never let the world define you as less than Great.

Individuals play the game, but teams win championships.

I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
