“If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.”

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I’ve made so many mistakes that if I don’t make the same mistakes over, we’re going to come pretty close to winning.

There’s a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

A few minutes ago, I had a hard time getting through the lobby because of all the people. After today, that won’t be happening.

Recognize winners. They come in all forms.

A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.

I’ll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we’ll be champions.

It’s kind of hard to rally around a math class.

I’d like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.

You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.

I’ll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it’s what his players know that counts.

I’m no innovator. If anything I’m a stealer, or borrower. I’ve stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you’ll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don’t have a plan. That’s why it’s easy to beat most folks.

Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don’t forget them when they leave.

My feeling is, quite simply, that if there is a God, He has done such a bad job that he isn’t worth discussing.

When times are bad is when you want to build! Why wait for things to pick up so everything will cost more?

I am a bad boy. I don’t come across clearly to a lot of people, so I am bad for them.

I just want to get the bad guys but if I can’t see them, I can’t shoot them.

I’m probably the only guy in hockey who can win a scoring title and everybody is saying I had a bad year. I don’t worry about it.

As if flesh and skin and hands are any match for bullets. As if bones won’t crack in hails of powder and lead. As if rivers of blood are not the direct result of trigger fingers that bend but do not break on “bad days”.

Bad things can happen to you, but it doesn’t mean you have to have regrets. It’s all about what you do with it.

What you do for money you do badly.
