“Teachers are always trying to inspire people to do better, to learn, to grow. That’s what we do, and we’re proud of the success we’ve had here doing that, and it’s something we’ll certainly continue to do.”

Rex Ryan does a lot of the same kind of stuff that we do in terms of how they play in the secondary and what they do.

Now do I get some time off? Do I get a bonus? Do I get to go on a cruise? But it’s not to keep trying to be the best. That’s not necessarily human nature.

One thing I always tell players is that there are three bad things.

There won’t be any hearsay. There won’t be any expert analysis from anybody else. It will be the real deal.

I think you have to be more flexible to be a pro coach because once you pay the guy the money, whether he can backpedal the way you want him to or whatever, his style of play may not suit you, but you still are going to play him, and he is going to be a part of your team.

The way I look at it is, if you don’t want somebody to know something, don’t say it. If you don’t want them to see you do something, don’t do it.

We all have anxiety about things. We all have little insecurities, but eventually you have to face your fears if you want to be successful, and everybody has some fear of failure.

I don’t believe you name a starter until the starter wins the team.

I don’t think I’m complicated at all. I’m not political, and I’m not trying to be diplomatic. I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, and I don’t say bad things about people. There is no agenda. There’s no trying to fool somebody.

I think there’s a certain pride people have in competition.

Honesty and integrity is an important part of our character, my character.

I played so long ago, I don’t think anybody even knew you could transfer. I don’t think they knew anything about it.

If I say I like one person, that means everybody that voted for the other person doesn’t like me. So, why would I do that?

When I talk about a successful program, define that. It’s not just winning the national championship every year because nobody can do that.

You can blame the other guy for saying it, or you can look at yourself and say, ‘I must have contributed to this.’

I would give them the ball and score points. I wouldn’t play them on defense. I would play them where they can get the ball and score points.

I am not accustomed to saying anything with certainty after only one or two observations.

The thing about music is that nobody listens to it unless it’s real. I don’t think that you can fool anybody for too long in music. And you certainly can’t fool everybody.

I like all the kinds of music I’ve been into. I’m certainly not a purist in that I will only play country licks in a country song or blues licks in blues stuff.

Spending a weekend with Hitler would have been boring in the extreme, although you would have had a greater certainty in coming back alive.

Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics.

Some issues you just – you certainly you have to defend yourself, but you certainly don`t have to denigrate others.

When we gain some understanding we need to chew on it again so that we see it for ourselves with certainty: paccattam.

We can certainly be on the same side and the same front with the workers and with the oppressed people of Iran. We can certainly be on the same front with them.
