Throughout my life I have dreamed of coaching at the University of Michigan.

Fans have a constitutional right to expect success and have high expectations.

People often think that there's a general who makes all the difference, but I would reject that. It's a team effort. It's the power of the wedge.

I love being part of something that is working toward a greater goal, and there's no more satisfaction in life than achieving those goals as a team and being a part of that team.

The high road's the only road I know. Let's keep on that way.

People talk about cold weather and it'd be tough to catch balls. But the greatest catcher of all time, Michael Crabtree, catches everything. It's unbelievable. In the northern snowlands, down to the tropics' sunny scenes, he's catching the football. Where they throw a football, he'll be catching it.

It can be a great temptation to rest on the field and let the opponent have a play without making him pay for every inch. I must hold his pain where it is. Mine does not matter. ... The punishment I inflict, his fatigue, and that he is up against something that he does not comprehend is everything.

What will happen will happen, what won't happen won't happen.

Perception is NOT reality. People have always said that - perception is reality. I reject that hypothesis.

Attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

I am now in control of all things.

From what I can see it's that, if you have money you have access to justice. If you don't, it's becoming increasingly less and less access for low-income Americans and that's the crux of it. I mean, to have a society that has liberty and justice for all, it's right there in the constitution.

I love people, I really do. I'm a people person. I think that's a strength of mine. I love being around people, especially in a team setting.

Some people say 'Why is a football coach concerned?' I explained I'm an American first and all Americans should care about justice.

I love football. Love it. Love it. I think it's the last bastion of hope for toughness in America in men, in males.

I have the best wife and six wonderful children. And I'm proud to report that my future will always be bright with the family that I have.
