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 Have To Learn What Makes This Or That Sammy Run. For One It's A Pat On The Back, For Another It's Eating Him Out, For Still Another It's A Fatherly Talk, Or Something Else. You're A Fool If You Think As I Did As A Young Coach, That You Can Treat Them All Alike.
