I'm no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work.
We can't have two standards, one set for the dedicated young men who want to do something ambitious and one set for those who don't.
The idea of molding men means a lot to me.
If a man is a quitter, I'd rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I'll know later what I can expect.
One man doesn't make a team. It takes eleven.
The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee; thou shalt kiss the child asleep, And dry the moistened curls that overspread His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.
Be aware of "yes" men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget - people win.
You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.
It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
All I know is, I don't want to stop coaching, and I don't want to stop winning, so we're gonna break the record unless I die.
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.
Don't tolerate lazy people. They are losers.
