Coach

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 don't think anybody that coaches ever fully quits.

The support of Chiefs fans across the country has been tremendous. They are truly passionate about their football 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.

I believe in giving people an opportunity to do their jobs.

As a coach, you're like a teacher. You don't give the players their talent. God gives them talent, but you can give them knowledge, and you can give them information.

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.

You play to win the game.

When you put pressure on the quarterback, everything looks a lot better.

I don't go crazy but I have those spurts.

The rules of the game really have given the offense an advantage, especially with pass interference.

No one player is bigger than the team.

As you get older, the quality of life is more important.

At heart, I'm still a coach. I'm always a coach.

Coaches are well aware, especially at quarterback, that it's not the system but the player who comes first.

When I wake up, I don't worry about why the mountain is there. I just start climbing.

If you pay a QB $10 million, you don't want him to run the ball.
