Coach

I'm very observant. I see more than people think I'm seeing.

You're in pro football, it's kind of interesting, because when you win, you draft last. In college football, you recruit. You gotta go after guys.

And when you're a coach your main concern is the players and the coaches. The last concern you have is really about yourself.

Training camp gets long when you compete against your own guys.

And when you're a coach your main concern is the players and the coaches. The last concern you have is really about yourself.

You don't quit in sports. You retire. You don't get to quit. It's not an option.

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.

I do the right thing on purpose. I don't do it by accident.

This is the world you live in when you're a football player, an athlete. You want someone to discipline you. You want to have consistency. You want a guy that puts you in position so that you can have success.

Too often, people equate discipline with cursing. When you go to Catholic school, the nuns don't curse a word, but you get discipline.

Being a part of the NFL for 30 years was a blessing.

I used to tell people I was 6-foot-4. And with that afro, I was.

Nobody on this earth can intimidate me.

I do the right thing on purpose. I don't do it by accident.

Curtis Martin just has to be Curtis Martin, and whatever that is, that's good enough. He doesnt have to be Clark Kent or Lois Lane.

I'm big on integrity.

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.

You don't forget how to coach.

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.

You gotta use a player's strength.
