“You get the job done or you don’t.”

We have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we’ll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can’t talk about.

I’m sure that any current or past player of mine would tell you that the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be: wet, sticky, cold, slippery.

We do the same thing with all our players. We take a look, as I said, at their personal family life, we look at the history of what they’ve done in high school and college.

If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time

I’ll refrain from making any more comments on any ongoing people involved in the judicial process.

However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.

All sources are not equal. When you get information, you take the information, you evaluate it, and you do the best you can with it. So, there’s a variance in the quality and the amount of the information. It’s a case-by-case basis. Each one’s different. There’s no set formulas.

I told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that’s really about it.

I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.

I think it’s relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re talking about here with Seattle.

I think that we’ll continue to try to look at ourselves in the mirror and see where we can do a better job, maybe where we can improve the process. But I think the fundamentals of the process will remain the same.

I’m trying to coach the team and that’s what I want to do.

Whatever success I’ve had it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters.

I feel like I’ve had a strong relationship with Robert [Kraft] and his family since I was here in 1996 and I think it’s gotten stronger every year that I’ve been here with the Patriots.

This is the end of this subject for me for a long time.

I don’t think there’s anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers…I mean Chargers.

I had a lot of fans in New York. The press would write about me, but I couldn’t get a paying job.

I’ve been a slave to football. It follows you home, it follows you everywhere, and eats into your family life. But every working man misses out on some things because of his job.

If you see players who hate practice, their coach isn’t doing a very good job.

NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world’s premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget.

Many men beg for a job but have no clue what hard work really means.

At the end of the day you go out and do your job and follow your directions.

A housewife deserves to be honored as much as a woman who earns her living in the marketplace. I consider bringing up children a responsible job. In fact, being a good housewife seems to me a much tougher job than going to the office and getting paid for it.

It’s government’s job to respect and protect the rights of the individual. That vision is centrally important to the principle put forth by the Founding Fathers. If you don’t believe that, you shouldn’t be in Congress.
