“There's good times and bad times. That's part of the coaching. You live with the ups and downs of it but at the end, it's about not only winning games, it's about developing men.”

“Oh, I still get a little anxiety when I'm doing NFL live for ESPN.”

“When you have kids, you never think of burying your own child.”

“You have an obligation as a player - as an athlete at any level - and it doesn't matter what sport it is. When you sign on, you sign on. You prepare that week to go win. I don't care about your schedule, or how many people got hurt - it doesn't matter. You owe it to the people in the building and guys in the huddle to prepare yourself to win.”

“As you get older, the quality of life is more important.”

“I kind of know who I am as a man. There's a value system I believe in.”

“When you're an athlete, the one thing you're concerned about is injury, because that's the No. 1 thing that can take you out.”

“I don't go crazy but I have those spurts.”

“I am looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have accumulated as a player, coach and member of the working media with the students at the Cronkite School.”

“If all you ever play with a cornerback in there is man to man, it is a disadvantage.”

“The job of the offense is not to score points. The job of the defense is not to stop the other team from scoring points.”

“I think I bring a good perspective because I did a lot of things in the NFL - player, head coach, assistant and scout.”

“You get fired. You get cut. That's just part of it, man. You don't worry about it, but what you do is you make sure that you left it better for the next guy.”

“The one thing I've tried to do is be insightful.”

“No one player is bigger than the team.”

“The support of Chiefs fans across the country has been tremendous. They are truly passionate about their football team.”

“I believe this, we are all gifted for the talent - God blesses everybody with a talent. Mine was to play football. Some are to be scientists. Some are to be doctors. Sometimes because of the situation you grow up in, you can never display your talent because you can't get out of that situation.”

“It has to be the right fit. Coaching is about fits.”

“That's the great thing about sports: You play to win, and I don't care if you don't have any wins. You go play to win. When you start telling me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out. 'Cause it matters.”

“And when you're a coach your main concern is the players and the coaches. The last concern you have is really about yourself.”
