Leadership Is A Matter Of Having People

Perhaps The Toughest Call For A Coach Is Weighing What Is Best For An Individual Against What Is Best For The Team. Keeping A Player On The Roster Just Because I Liked Him Personally, Or Even Because Of His Great Contributions To The Team In The Past, When I Felt Some One Else Could Do More For The Team Would Be A Disservice To The Team's Goals.

The Secret To Winning Is Constant, Consistent Management.

A Vital Team Characteristic Is The Ability To Overcome Adversity. Any Team Acquires Experience And Endurance As It Learns To Fight Back. This In Turn Builds The Kind Of Character Which Seldom Crumbles At A Time Of Crisis Or Testing.

I Don't Believe In Team Motivation. I Believe In Getting A Team Prepared So It Knows It Will Have The Necessary Confidence When It Steps On A Field And Be Prepared To Play A Good Game.

...even After You've Just Won The Super Bowl -- Especially After You've Just Won The Super Bowl -- There's Always Next Year. If Winning Isn't Everything; It's The Only Thing, Then The Only Thing Is Nothing -- Emptiness, The Nightmare Of Life Without Ultimate Meaning.
