We have great regard for Young's athletic ability. He has a quick release and fine instincts. He's probably the fastest runner of any quarterback in the league and his play is similar to Joe Montana's.
You have to reinvent yourself each year, ... What helped us was that there was some turnover each year.
This thing is really rolling. This would normally be a three-year project, and we are doing it in nine months.
The ongoing construction of the stadium has continued at a rapid pace, and we're extremely pleased with the progress. It's projected to be done on time. But, in moving the San Jose State game to Spartan Stadium, we feel it gives us that extra week to assure ourselves that the stadium will be 100 percent ready.
You have to be very sure of yourself. You have to be able to say, look, there's a risk here and we're willing to accept the risk. If it doesn't work, it's just part of doing business.
Times were simpler, defenses didn't move as fast, and the quarterback was often the best athlete. Now he's being chased by the best athletes.
When he begins to find his second, alternate and outlet receivers, when he moves out of the pocket and stretches the pocket to hit those guys, that's when he'll start taking defenses apart. There's a total upside to everything he does. He'll demonstrate that this year, especially with the gifts Michael has that are so spectacular.
We aren't willing to concede it won't be ready.
We'd like to think that tickets will be hard to come by.
The culture precedes positive results. It doesn't get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they're champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.
Concentrate on what will produce results rather than on the results, the process rather than the prize.
People thrive on positive reinforcement. They can take only a certain amount of criticism and you may lose them altogether if you criticize them in a personal way... you can make a point without being personal. Don't insult or belittle your people. Instead of getting more out of them you will get less
