Flying by the seat of your pants precedes crashing by the seat of your pants.
Bill Walsh
On occasion I omit commas. On occasion, I use them. (The more you know about English, the less you're likely to think there are unbreakable rules for a lot of these things.)
Bill Walsh
Everybody's got an opinion. Leaders are paid to make a decision. The difference between offering an opinion and making a decision is the difference between working for the leader and being the leader.
Bill Walsh
Good talent with bad attitude equals bad talent.
