I believe you bet on yourself and you commit to something and you give all your energy and effort to it, and that's what I've done my whole life.
I like to have fun.
I competed every day as a professional football player... You've got to like competing. That's how your team gets better, when you have competition every day.
Football ignites my soul.
I'm Catholic now, I'm Christian, watch out for them Devils.
You don't forget how to coach.
I don't go crazy but I have those spurts.
The support of Chiefs fans across the country has been tremendous. They are truly passionate about their football team.
You have an obligation as a player - as an athlete at any level - and it doesn't matter what sport it is. When you sign on, you sign on. You prepare that week to go win. I don't care about your schedule, or how many people got hurt - it doesn't matter. You owe it to the people in the building and guys in the huddle to prepare yourself to win.
At heart, I'm still a coach. I'm always a coach.
When you become an athlete, you live in this bubble. You're in the world, but you're not in the world.
It doesn't matter where you grow up, what color you are, what religion you are. It's just a bunch of guys that come together for a common cause. Let's go win this game. It's called team.
It's good to have somebody else say what you're thinking.
You get fired. You get cut. That's just part of it, man. You don't worry about it, but what you do is you make sure that you left it better for the next guy.
The players think it's all about them! It's not about them - it's about the game of football, man!
I don't think anybody that coaches ever fully quits.
I am looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have accumulated as a player, coach and member of the working media with the students at the Cronkite School.
Coaches are well aware, especially at quarterback, that it's not the system but the player who comes first.
If you pay a QB $10 million, you don't want him to run the ball.
When I got in this profession, as a young guy, as a college coach at San Jose State, I knew right then that I had a passion to do this, to touch people's lives, to develop young men in the game of football.
