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.

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.

I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.

I love the game. I think it's a great game because you find out a lot about yourself. You test your mettle every week. There's no grey area, there's instant gratification and there are no quarterly reports. We're not just doing a little bit better. You know every Sunday what happened.

Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.

Some guys are just very, very interested in their sport and their predecessors. I know I was a guy like that when I was a young coach. I wanted to know about George Halas, I wanted to know about Jim Lee Howell, guys you don't even know. I wanted to know what they were like. So I read whatever I could get my hands on.

Something goes wrong, I yell at them -'Fix it'- whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust.

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

I only want my team to play to its potential, as I perceive it to be. I really don't have any regard for anyone else's perception.

I'm a little superstitious.

The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.

Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.

I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.

Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.
