It doesn't matter where you grow up, what color you are, what religion you are. It's just a bunch of guys that come together for a common cause. Let's go win this game. It's called team.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When you become an athlete, you live in this bubble. You're in the world, but you're not in the world.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
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.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The support of Chiefs fans across the country has been tremendous. They are truly passionate about their football team.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I competed every day as a professional football player... You've got to like competing. That's how your team gets better, when you have competition every day.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I believe you bet on yourself and you commit to something and you give all your energy and effort to it, and that's what I've done my whole life.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I wanted to give back to football what it's given me. So, I decided, 'I'm going to be a coach.'
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I grew up in the era of the desegregation program. I actually got bussed to a predominately white high school. I didn't have a choice.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
College has become a wide-open game - a lot of short passes, quick passes. Then you go to the pros and it's a whole different ballgame - things are happening faster, the patterns have to be more precise. Getting off the line of scrimmage is more difficult.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I think I bring a good perspective because I did a lot of things in the NFL - player, head coach, assistant and scout.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When you're on TV, you're still coaching, believe it or not. You're just coaching America, you're not coaching one team.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
It used to be that the hardest thing to cover was underthrown balls. Then coaches began to think, 'So why not start throwing back-shoulder fades?'
Quote by -Herm Edwards
We learn a lot of life lessons in how we play this great game, and I've been fortunate enough to be involved in it at every level.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
What makes us different? Well, besides our skin color and our nationality and maybe our religion, nothing. We all want the same thing, we all want to have success in America.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
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.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The greatest thing I could say about my son, and this is what you always worry about with your kids, that they kinda outgrow their Mom and Dad. But for him, when I see him, when he calls me Dad, and he can still hug me, he's still like my little boy. Even around his friends, he still calls me Dad.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
People who've watched me on television, they go, 'Oh, that's who this guy is.' So when I walk into their home, they say, 'Coach, you're that same guy! We trust you with our son.'
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Too often, people equate discipline with cursing. When you go to Catholic school, the nuns don't curse a word, but you get discipline.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Curtis Martin just has to be Curtis Martin, and whatever that is, that's good enough. He doesnt have to be Clark Kent or Lois Lane.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The rules of the game really have given the offense an advantage, especially with pass interference.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
You're in pro football, it's kind of interesting, because when you win, you draft last. In college football, you recruit. You gotta go after guys.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When I wake up, I don't worry about why the mountain is there. I just start climbing.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
As a coach, you're like a teacher. You don't give the players their talent. God gives them talent, but you can give them knowledge, and you can give them information.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I am a head coach in the NFL today because of the opportunity the Coaching Fellowship provided me. The program is really the thing that jump-starts your career.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
To be quite honest, and anybody will tell you, growing up I was going to be a pro athlete. I didn't have any option. That was my way out.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
My passion is from my mom. She was passionate about leaving Germany and coming to America and making a life for her and her family. My father - discipline, a chain of command, it works this way.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
You don't quit in sports. You retire. You don't get to quit. It's not an option.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I grew up in the early '60s, and there was a lot of civil rights, a lot of unrest in our country.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
If you draft a player to be a backup, why did you draft him? You're drafting a guy because you think he's worthy of being drafted at that spot, but you're also drafting him because you think he can compete. If you're going to say, 'This guy's a backup,' - really? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The thing you miss most, when you don't play and you don't coach, is the huddle. You miss the huddle. You miss the ability to walk in the room where collectively players are from everywhere. Every race, every religion, every color. It don't matter, because you've got a common goal. You're trying to be something special as a team.
