You either have the charisma, the knowledge, the passion, the intelligence - or you don't.

God bless Tony Romo.

I miss high school football.

Nobody talks about Shaq Thompson. I don't know what he is. He's like a nickel corner/linebacker.

If I ever come back and coach, I'm never huddling again!

I get excited when we make a play. I get excited when we make a first down.

If you aren't winning, we are not going to be happy.

I like being with the quarterbacks. I like calling the plays.

I have a different mentality than most guys, I guess.

I think there is a huge ceiling in Derek Carr. I think he has proven that.

I love the AFC West.

I feel a lot of unfinished business and loyalty and responsibility to get the Raiders going again.

You never say never to nothing.

All I really have in my life is my family and football. That's about it.

I just love football.

I've always coached energy, hustling, rushing to the pile, and if it is wiggling, you do hit it because guys are fighting for yardage, and sometimes, you've got to give up the ball because of one inch.

You don't want to read about your quarterback in the newspaper every day of the week.

I draw plays every day.

Mariota is special in a lot of ways. He's a dynamic dual threat on the field, and he is humble - no-nonsense, full of character - off the field.

I love finishers.

Carson Wentz, when you watch him on tape, No. 1, I just like a big guy that has athleticism.

Some people feel pressure; some people don't.

Tebow is the kind of guy who could revolutionize the game. He's the 'wildcat' who can throw. Most of the teams that have the wildcat back there, it's Ronnie Brown, it's Jerious Norwood, it's whoever you want to say it is. This guy here is 250 pounds of concrete cyanide, man. And he can throw. He throws well enough at any level to play quarterback.

When you're the head coach, you coach 53 people, and their wives and their girlfriends and their families and all those people.

You miss the adversity. The journey is what I'm talking about. Helping a guy get better. Seeing a guy get a contract. And seeing a seventh-round choice or free agent make the team.

All I really have going is football. I don't know what I would do without it.

There are not a lot of things that Andrew Luck can't do, but the thing I like about him is his work ethic. He's a workaholic, and that's what impresses me the most.

Just to get cufflinks on my shirt is a challenge.

If it wasn't for football, a lot of the best times of my life, my brother's life, my dad's life, wouldn't exist.

I break down the tape like I'm a quality-control coach, just like I was with the Packers in 1992. I break it down by hand, every play.

I had all kinds of different quarterbacks. But we never drafted a first-rounder.

I compete with myself. I try to get more done than you. I don't know why.

There are very few passions in my life - The man upstairs, family, and football.

All I ever wanted to do was coach, 'cause I knew I wasn't gonna be a player.

It doesn't make much sense to blitz a guy that gets rid of the ball in less than 1.5 seconds.

I get excited for big games in December.

You have to help your players understand that when they speak to the media, or when they tweet or text or e-mail, a lot of times, they become public knowledge.

I spend most of my time looking at game film.

If you're a young kid out there, put away your Twitter accounts if you want to be a pro football player. Somebody's going to hack your account; somebody's going to cause you problems.

This whole social media scene makes me sick.

I think when you get Robert Griffin, one of the most explosive quarterbacks to ever play the position, in a Mike Shanahan-type system, the possibilities are very exciting, I think, with Mike Shanahan's imagination.

Eli Manning is the one man I just don't want to see in the playoffs. He is a flatliner.

You think of Brady, you think of Rodgers, Roethliseber, Eli Manning. They're icemen. They have no feelings - none. They're able to concentrate on a snap-by-snap basis.

When we had a great defense at Tampa Bay, we always measured our defenses against the best quarterbacks.

Cancer is tough. It is a relentless opponent that won't seem to go away.

From the standpoint that you try to adjust your offense to your quarterback, you try to adjust your football team around your players. You do the best you can with the hand that you have, and you've got to add some parts along the way.

The Gruden-McVay relationship goes all the way back to 1970. John McVay and my dad are best of friends. My dad continued to work with McVay as a 49er. When John McVay became the general manager, he hired my dad to be one of his scouts.

I learned from Al Davis. We didn't have any secretaries. Secretaries, really, in Oakland were young football people.

We've got enough issues in this country without worrying about some of the things we're worrying about. It's unbelievable to me. And as long as I'm alive, I know what football gave me. It taught me my work ethic. It gave me a sense of discipline.
