If You Want To Coach You Have Three Rules To Follow To Win. One, Surround Yourself With People Who Can't Live Without Football. I've Had A Lot Of Them. Two, Be Able To Recognize Winners. They Come In All Forms. And, Three, Have A Plan For Everything. A Plan For Practice, A Plan For The Game. A Plan For Being Ahead, And A Plan For Being Behind 20-0 At Half, With Your Quarterback Hurt And The Phones Dead, With It Raining Cats And Dogs And No Rain Gear Because The Equipment Man Left It At Home.

You're Still Going To Win With Preparation And Dedication And Plain Old Desire. If You Don't Have Genuine Desire, You Won't Be Dedicated Enough To Prepare Properly.

If We'd Beaten 'em, I Wouldn't Be Going Out.

But It's Still A Coach's Game. Make No Mistake. You Start At The Top. If You Don't Have A Good One At The Top, You Don't Have A Cut Dog's Chance.

I Tell Young Players Who Want To Be Coaches, Who Think They Can Put Up With All The Headaches And Heartaches, Can You Live Without It? If You Can Live Without It, Don't Get In It.
