“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.”

That has never been a priority for me and I want the players to deal with a harder situation in practice than they’ll ever have to deal with in the game. Maybe that’s part of our ball security philosophy.

To live in the past is to die in the present.

Some guys, football comes really easy to them; they can see what all 22 players are doing, can see what all 11 guys are doing on their side of the ball, how it all fits together. It’s easy for them.

I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I’m accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.

I’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.

It’s the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It’s part of the process.

I was out of the country for a period of time but followed everything closely through other people in our organization and we’ve made the decisions that we felt were right for the football team and we’ll continue to do that and be as diligent as we can going forward.

I obviously understand that each team has the opportunity to prepare the balls the way they want, give them to the officials and the game officials either approve or disapprove the balls. That really was the end of it for me until I learned a little bit more about this .

I’m a football coach. I’m not a doctor … They don’t call plays, I don’t do surgeries. We have a great deal here.

When you get wet, it usually means something good.

I think everyone is a case-by-case basis. Whatever the circumstances are that come with any individual, they exist and you have to make a determination as to what your comfort level is with that person and the characteristics that they bring.

I think we all know that quarterbacks, kickers, specialists have certain preferences on footballs. They know a lot more about it than I do. They’re a lot more sensitive to it than I am.

We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that’s the way it is.

Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling

I’m not really worried about the other 31 teams.

We’ll attack anyone who tries to harm our citizens.

I built a career on my archetype, and I’m grateful, but I’m trying to stretch.

I tend to have a cup of tea, try to stop worrying about what I did wrong, cool down and will the audience back in as soon as possible.

I have a friend who says the best boyfriends are ones with intimidating, good-looking older brothers. The boyfriends try harder because they’re so insecure. Maybe I’m the female equivalent.

Don’t try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can’t be done except by liars.

For once you must try not to shirk the facts: mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.

Most people come out of their Ph.D. experience trying to prove themselves, trying to get ahead, trying to get published. You’re scared everybody else is going to do your research and get your topic.

If you can’t jump on board when the ride’s going past that’s it, it usually goes by, so the hugest compliment they paid me was to come back to me. It motivated me to try to fulfill their faith.
