"There are three things that you look at when your offense isn't going well, or when any phase of your football team isn't going well. First, see whether or not it's a problem with the design or the scheme. Next, you take a look at the personnel; if one person isn't performing well then you consider making a change, relative to who you have to replace him with. The third thing you look at is execution. For instance, if we have a receiver that's open then we expect to be able to get the ball there on certain types of pass patterns; a fifteen yard pattern, for example, we should be able to deliver the ball there. If we throw the ball over someone's head then it's a matter of execution. If we can't get people open then it's a matter of design."

"Some people can smell a house burning before a match is ever struck."

"Confidence is like the air, a belief, or a spirit; you can't put your finger on it."

“I wanted them out there on that frozen field as a way of telling them, “Don’t ever again tell me how rough the waters are, just bring the ship in.”

"The bye didn’t run, the bye didn’t block, the bye didn’t pass."

"A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits."

"Football players win football games."
