“I've got to be better. So when I talk to the team, I want to make sure that I'm real with them, and I tell them I can be better.”

“The quarterback needs to know when he's doing something wrong or how he can get better.”

“I think it all circles back to me just trusting myself as a coach and believing in what I feel is the right thing to do.”

“I was a player in the Arena League, I was building relationships with that internship.”

“There was a lot of reflection - I know that - wondering, 'What in the hell am I doing?' But it paid off.”

“You stay positive. Any competitor is going to get angry with themselves and frustrated, and all the emotion comes on.”

“You can't just say, 'This team's going to win,' or 'This team's going to lose.' Anything can happen. So what you can control is winning your game as much as possible. If you don't do that, and then the other team has a chance to lose, and they lose, and you didn't go about it the right way, now you just let that slip.”

“I've always considered myself a leader, a leader of men.”

“You can't make the kid feel like he just made three mistakes in a row and you're pumping him up. No. There's a balance to it. It's, 'Listen, here's why you did what you did. Don't do it next time, and you'll be OK.'”

“That's my nature: I'm going to be aggressive, but it has to be calculated.”

“In the end, everyone talks. We're all evaluated and judged on. It's about production and results.”

“You've just got to go with your gut feeling.”

“You see the excitement on the players. I don't know... if they think, 'This coach is crazy,' or if they think that, 'No, this is pretty good.'”

“Every running back has their own strengths and weaknesses. There are some that are better as pass receivers. There are some that are better inside, tight zones and mid zones and outside zones.”

“When you fail to communicate, there are gray areas. And when there's gray areas, then bad things happen.”

“If somebody comes out and has a poor game, it doesn't mean they're getting cut.”

“There are scenarios when I wish I would have made some different choices with the playcall.”
