“The way you motivate a football team is to eliminate the unmotivated ones.”

“You've got to have great athletes to win, I don't care who the coach is. You can't win without good athletes but you can lose with them. This is where coaching makes the difference.”

“It's not my job to motivate players. They bring extraordinary motivation to our program. It's my job not to de-motivate them.”

“If you want to get a deal, negotiate with the teams yourself. Say, "I want this much, and no less, but I'll show up to camp on time." It doesn't seem that hard to me.”

“Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.”

“Give me that man that is not passion's slave, and I will wear him in my heart's core, in my heart of heart, as I do thee.”

“So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends.”

“I am wealthy in my friends.”
