Realistic expectations for life are that we are going to be better today than we were yesterday, be better tomorrow than we were today. That's a plan for success. So [the key is] simple: just work.Collection: Simple

I love being part of something that is working toward a greater goal, and there's no more satisfaction in life than achieving those goals as a team and being a part of that team.Collection: Team
It can be a great temptation to rest on the field and let the opponent have a play without making him pay for every inch. I must hold his pain where it is. Mine does not matter. ... The punishment I inflict, his fatigue, and that he is up against something that he does not comprehend is everything.Collection: Pain

I am now in control of all things.Collection: All Things
Anything is always a possibility. Wouldn't talk about what we would have done or what we would do. Everything is a possibility.Collection: Done
People often think that there's a general who makes all the difference, but I would reject that. It's a team effort. It's the power of the wedge.Collection: Team
Perception is NOT reality. People have always said that - perception is reality. I reject that hypothesis.Collection: Reality
I've always felt like the most improvement you can make is from year 1 to year 2, much like a college freshman who the most improvement he can make in an entire one year of college football is going from year 1 freshman year to his sophomore year. Like a pro football player going from his rookie season to his second season. There's a window there that will never come again that you have a chance to making your biggest strides.Collection: Football
Football - it's not fun when you lose. That's a heartbreaking thing. But then there's a new week, and a new opportunity and I definitely get happier and happier as that new opportunity approaches. So 'win the next game,' that's my mindset.Collection: Football
Top to bottom Michigan is about excellence, greatness. You have my pledge I will carry forward the excellence of Michigan football.Collection: Football
I love football. Love it. Love it. I think it's the last bastion of hope for toughness in America in men, in males.Collection: Football
I was reminded of another very special word when I was driving into Ann Arbor this morning, and that word is homecoming. Our family's had three homecomings to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in my lifetime.Collection: Football

All human beings have a great agency for being part of a team.Collection: Team
I have never asked to be the highest-paid coach in football. I have never asked to be paid like a Super Bowl-winning coach. I have never asked for more power.Collection: Football
If I may make a football analogy, we're a team whether we're a football team or community or the United States of America. We are part of a team and I believe the people on that team have a right, but they also have the obligation if there is something that is not good or we don't agree on, to speak about it.Collection: Football
From what I can see it's that, if you have money you have access to justice. If you don't, it's becoming increasingly less and less access for low-income Americans and that's the crux of it. I mean, to have a society that has liberty and justice for all, it's right there in the constitution.Collection: Mean
Some people say 'Why is a football coach concerned?' I explained I'm an American first and all Americans should care about justice.Collection: Football
I have the best wife and six wonderful children. And I'm proud to report that my future will always be bright with the family that I have.Collection: Children
Do we need a top-flight quarterback? Do human beings need air to breath?Collection: Air
My prototypical quarterback is a competitive guy that's a winner, somebody that has great athletic instincts, somebody who is very accurate throwing the football, a quick-minded guy who can think fast on his feet and can make decisions quickly, someone who has leadership ability, an understanding of timing and can make really good decisions.Collection: Football
