If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.

People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.

Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!

Be aware of yes men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget - people win.

I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
