That's one of the reasons why he's a successful coach. You know that image he creates, with the jutting jaw? That's how he approached every task he's ever had. He started early on to find an edge because he needed it.

It was a game that ends up like most if you turn the ball over. You give the ball to the opponent on a short field and that is the one single thing that throughout the history of this game has always been the major factor in winning or losing games. We're quite disappointed.
