I think coaches are very much guilty of trying to implement players into their schemes as opposed as trying to fit schemes into players. That's the thing that can separate good coaches from bad.
It's hard to throw the football when you have some instability at quarterback or if you don't have the weapons around you.
Tom Coughlin has done a great job and is an excellent coach.
The goal is to hit your stride, stay in the hunt and be playing your best football in December.
I was blessed to have followed a legendary coach in Chuck Noll.
As a kid you were proud to say you were from Pittsburgh.
I was blessed to play a small role in the Steelers tradition.
To be recognized for making the contributions I did, along with the others who are part of the Hall of Honor, it really is humbling. Particularly when you grow up in Pittsburgh and know what the Steelers mean to the city. To me, as a little boy growing up watching the Steelers, this means a lot to me. It's special.
When you talk about tradition, and organizations, the Steelers are one of the best in the NFL.
I had the best job in the NFL.
Keith Butler is a very good football coach.
I've been very blessed to be surrounded by some very special people.
I miss the combative back and forth, strategic elements of the game on Sunday. Making the adjustments, and what you've prepared for all week all of a sudden isn't there.
Le'Veon Bell, as we have seen through the years when healthy, is such a dynamic player not just out of the backfield, but as a receiver.
To be taught to coach by Marty Schottenheimer, to be able to go to an organization like the Steelers. I came there at 34, probably brash, ready to set my niche.
Dan Rooney was my boss, my father, my friend, my mentor.
A lot of times losing a game is not taking care of the football, foolish penalties.
The one thing you don't want to do is get to a point where losing becomes a habit.
The biggest thing as a head coach, you want to make sure you exhaust every option.
We won a lot of games, we brought play'off games to the city of Pitts'burgh, we won play'off games.
I wanted to be my'self and I wanted the play'ers to take pride in ev'ery'thing they did. We rep'resent the Pitts'burgh Steel'ers but we also rep'resent the city of Pitts'burgh. You're a leader and a role model, whether you want to be or not.
I think the bottom line is wins and losses. That is probably the most important stat to look at.
It is a lot easier to kick off a turf field than it is off a grass field.
When you think about a Hall of Fame player, you think about someone who impacted the game, someone you had to game plan for.
I'm a New Yorker. I never thought I'd say that.
Going back to being a head coach entails a full-time commitment to that job and I would not go into it for any amount of money and do it halfway. It would be a total commitment, not part-time.
I just love the Buffalo market. Say what you want about their fans, it'll be December and they've been out of the playoffs for a month. But if there's a December game with snow, there's still going to be 72,000 people in those stands. One of the most passionate, loyal groups of fans in the National Football League, bar none.
The ozone is breaking down more and more each year; that's a fact. That being said, we have to be more conscious of the sun and what it can do to your skin.
A guy like Saquon Barkley is really a three-down player. You see the size, the speed, the quickness, the elusiveness, the power. He's a unique individual.
I think a guy like Saquon Barkley is a very special back, and where the was drafted was very appropriate.
I don't think running backs have ever been under-valued.
When I was coaching, I wasn't worried about what I was making. I was worried about winning a championship.
I've had a couple of people - prominent coaches - walk into an office, shut the door and say, 'What's it like, not coaching?' They're scared. They're scared not to have that. And I'll tell them, 'You know, it's different. You're not going to replace coaching. But there's some normality that's out there, and that's also kind of refreshing.'
I like the ability to wake up and say, 'Well, now what are we going to do?'
Don't get me wrong; I miss the live elements of coaching.
I've always wanted to walk into a hotel, sit at a piano and play 'Piano Man.'
I've probably watched more basketball games than anything.
I'm very comfortable at CBS.
I think when you do anything at a high level, it's very difficult to just stop and do nothing.
I like to dabble in a lot of things.
Let me tell you something: I'm a simple person who lives a simple life.
You don't just forget things overnight.
As a quarterback, you have to have a short memory. Don't lose your confidence, and stay within yourself. Don't try to do too much.
You go back to fundamentals when things start to go awry.
Football is the total team game.
I coached Derrick Thomas for the first three years of his career. He was a special player.
If I'm Colin Kaepernick I have to prove myself. I would say, 'I would love the opportunity to show that I am a championship-winning quarterback again, and I understand that I am not going to be handed anything and that I would love the opportunity to come back.' If he said that it would open the ears of a lot of teams.
I've lived a blessed life.
Antonio Brown is, if not the best receiver in the league, one of the best.
Stealing someone's signals was a part of the game and everybody attempted to do that. We had people that always tried to steal signals.
