It's more about the love of the game, and I don't mean to put that part of it down. There's nothing wrong with wanting to go to the National Football League. ... (But) there's something appealing to me to see guys working, sacrificing of themselves because they love the game.

I can promise you that I'm not picking up the phone and calling to find other jobs. This is what I want to do. I can finish my coaching career right here and be just as happy.

There's some things I've done wrong that I've asked forgiveness for, and there's some things other people have done that I've forgiven them for. I have absolutely no ill feelings, no anger, no resentment for anybody that's had anything to do with the past.

I was not as involved in the day-to-day decisions of football that I should have been. I got involved in the speaking and traveling. ... There's got to be a balance. It was a little bit of football, and a lot of this. You can't do it that way.

I'm walking down three flights of stairs carrying furniture, trying to talk on the phone about the job. I've never been involved in one that was done exactly that way.

A lot of things had to fall into place.

Based on what I've seen, if they continue to play at the level they're playing at ... especially running the football the way they do offensively, they'll be a difficult team to beat.

The same things win. It doesn't matter where you coach them. The game's the same.

I did some things off the field that I don't talk about anymore, but I learned from those.
