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

People are going to take shots at you for everything you did bad, and they forget about all the good things you did. They do it to everyone. They're going to do it to me, they've done it to all of them. They did it to Tom Landry. Are you kidding me? Tom Landry? With the fedora? Come on. They did it to Tom Landry.

Believe in what you do and keep working hard and you can't take what people say personally, because if you do it'll eat at you.

When it gets going bad and it gets going to where all these things are happening around you, the thing that stands out most is your character. You have to make sure you keep your character and your wits about you, because at the end of the day, it might be bad for a little while, but if you're a good coach it all works out.

When you lose a good player, it's like losing a quarterback.

I'm big on integrity.

Being a part of the NFL for 30 years was a blessing.

I want to spend more time with my two daughters.

I've worn a lot of hats in the NFL.

The thing about wisdom is you store the past in your head.

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

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

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

When you talk about domestic violence, it's not just athletes that are involved in it. Our society has really done a poor job of addressing it. And it needs to come to the forefront.

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.

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.

My father gave me discipline.

It wasn't the ghetto here or anything like that. But it got rough. I'll put it this way. I always knew where I lived. I always knew I was in Seaside. That wasn't plush. I wasn't in Monterey. I wasn't in Carmel. I was in Seaside. I knew what that meant.

You gotta use a player's strength.

I believe in giving people an opportunity to do their jobs.

This is the world you live in when you're a football player, an athlete. You want someone to discipline you. You want to have consistency. You want a guy that puts you in position so that you can have success.

The best thing you do as a coach is develop an environment where these guys can have some success. Vince Lombardi was that way. He cared about these guys not only as football players but also as men.

'Jim Thorpe - All American' influenced me as a young kid.

The world of football has changed. 'We're going to start a freshman quarterback!' 'Oooh really?!' That was taboo. It's not a shock anymore.
