People who've watched me on television, they go, 'Oh, that's who this guy is.' So when I walk into their home, they say, 'Coach, you're that same guy! We trust you with our son.'
You play to win the game.
I used to tell people I was 6-foot-4. And with that afro, I was.
The greatest thing I could say about my son, and this is what you always worry about with your kids, that they kinda outgrow their Mom and Dad. But for him, when I see him, when he calls me Dad, and he can still hug me, he's still like my little boy. Even around his friends, he still calls me Dad.
I believe this, we are all gifted for the talent - God blesses everybody with a talent. Mine was to play football. Some are to be scientists. Some are to be doctors. Sometimes because of the situation you grow up in, you can never display your talent because you can't get out of that situation.
You add a good receiver and that will take pressure off your quarterback.
What makes us different? Well, besides our skin color and our nationality and maybe our religion, nothing. We all want the same thing, we all want to have success in America.
I do the right thing on purpose. I don't do it by accident.
We learn a lot of life lessons in how we play this great game, and I've been fortunate enough to be involved in it at every level.
It used to be that the hardest thing to cover was underthrown balls. Then coaches began to think, 'So why not start throwing back-shoulder fades?'
When you're on TV, you're still coaching, believe it or not. You're just coaching America, you're not coaching one team.
I think I bring a good perspective because I did a lot of things in the NFL - player, head coach, assistant and scout.
College has become a wide-open game - a lot of short passes, quick passes. Then you go to the pros and it's a whole different ballgame - things are happening faster, the patterns have to be more precise. Getting off the line of scrimmage is more difficult.
One of my daughters was born in Kansas City. I spent almost 10 years there.
I grew up in the era of the desegregation program. I actually got bussed to a predominately white high school. I didn't have a choice.
I think Brian Hoyer is a good quarterback.
I wanted to give back to football what it's given me. So, I decided, 'I'm going to be a coach.'
You don't want an emotional team; you want a passionate team.
I kind of know who I am as a man. There's a value system I believe in.
I don't need validation from people at all.
