“I'm a big boy; I can handle criticism.”
“We have to make sure as a staff, and I have to make sure as the staff learns, that we just really keep it simple. We get good at the fundamentals. And then, as we perfect that part of the game, now we can add on.”
“I normally don't get frizzled.”
“If you're given a chance, and you're driven and obsessed and consumed when given the opportunity to prove people right, the sky is the limit.”
“You learn from any criticism. You learn from any self-criticism. And you learn from when you do things the right way: you try to keep going.”
“Sometimes when you get out there and you want to just do your own thing, we have to reel that in.”
“I think when you start changing things, you're not being yourself.”
“I went to the ultimate high to an ultimate low. It's just how life goes, and everything happens for a reason.”
“When you throw the ball 50 times, there are going to be some that are inaccurate.”
“That's what good teams do right there: We come together - and go boom!”
“I'm living the dream.”
“Anytime you give up two special-teams touchdowns, I can't imagine the numbers are too good in regards to winning that game.”
“In high school, it was NEH-gee. In college, it was NAG-ee. Now we don't know what it is.”
“The coach needs to understand, when he's not teaching something the right way or he sees something wrong, he's got to be able to admit to his mistakes.”
“A quarterback has to trust the quarterback coach. And the quarterback coach has to trust him.”
“Even as a coach, sometimes you forget the little intricacies of the offense, the details of the routes, the timing of the footwork, and the timing of the offensive tackles with the different sets that they have.”
“Details - that's what it comes down to, so you're always learning more about a play or a concept.”
“If it's a good play, don't get too high. Make a good play, follow it up, and then if it's a bad play, if there's a mistake or there's something wrong, don't worry about it.”
“For me, you understand that we always talk about a 'we' and not a 'me' thing. And we always talk as a team. We win as a team. We lose as a team.”
“I'll never forget the day I went home and told my wife, 'I'll never be a kindergarten teacher.'”
