football thinking games
There's a lot [of coaches], and I think in this profession, none of us invented this game, we got it from someone else, and if there's an idea, there's probably never been an original idea in football.
warrior play honor
When a warrior goes down, you pick up his shield and go play in honor of him.
running football school
You have to run the football and stop the run, no matter what level you play at, whether it's high school, college or professional ranks. I'm a firm believer in that.
thinking ceilings
I don't think anybody has a ceiling. Everybody can constantly improve.
running team looks
I look for a quarterback who can run and not a running back who can throw. I want a quarterback who can beat you with his arm. We are not a Tim Tebow type of quarterback team. I am not going to run my quarterback 20 times on power runs.
funny team eagles
Yeah, I had it all mapped out actually. Seriously. I wrote it down. I said, 'When I'm the head coach of the Eagles, I'm going to make sure I get that guy on my team.' And then guy next to me was like, 'You're only the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire.' I said, 'Don't worry about it. Minor details. But it's going to work.'
thinking goal long
I think sometimes when you look long term, you kind of forget to take care of what you have to take care of on a daily basis. We're into short-term goals more than long-term goals.
average lasts halls
Last time I checked, there is no 'Hall of Average.'
running be-good
Run from being good. Chase being great.
expectations being-the-best lows
If your expectations aren't to be the best, then... you know, nobody rises to low expectations.
hurt thinking nfl
It doesn't hurt me. I'm not governed by the fear of what other people say. Events don't elicit feelings; I think beliefs elicit feelings, and I understand what my beliefs are and I know how I am.
amount
Everybody has the same amount of time during the day. You can either spend your time or invest your time.
coaching bigs right-now
Wherever you're coaching or playing right now is the Big Time
jobs successful opportunity
Coaching is one thing and one thing only: It is creating an environment so the player has an opportunity to be successful That is your job as a coach. When you teach him to do that, get out of his way.
