Our goal is to develop our team, to earn what we get, to learn, to develop unselfish attitudes. If we achieve that, the results is that we'll win.
Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?
What it takes to win is simple, it's not easy.
The caliber of play in professional football compared to college is better and everybody knows it. They don't realize how much better. What a giant leap forward in the ability of talent level, the speed, and even the grasp of what you are trying to do. There is no other distractions before the players.
All the buildup and hype, everything else, is foam. The game is the beer.
What you do should speak so loudly that no one will hear what you say.
This is not a must-win; World War II was a must-win (Referring to the Super Bowl)
Expect rejection, but expect even more strongly to overcome it.
Security comes from earning it-not seeking it.
Plan your work and work your plan.

Every profession has changed. Journalism has changed. Medicine has changed. Technology has changed and it evolves. The same is true of football. Free agency has now allowed teams to be a dynasty as they have been before. It is not a great thing for the fans, but it is a good thing for the players.
Systems don't win, players do.
