I don't know any other way to lead but by example.
From Don Shula
The thing we found out was, when you get to a Super Bowl, both teams are treated the same, talked about in glowing terms. But when the game is over, only the team that won matters.
You know it's only 50 miles from Grand River to Canton, but it took me 67 years to travel that distance.
One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.
You take on what's right in front of you. You want to do the best you can with the opportunities that you have.
What I learned from that loss, and also another loss that I'm going to talk about later, was that when you're there, it's not good enough to be there, when you're there, you better walk away with that ring.
Because, they're only thinking about one team when that game's over. Before the game, they're talking about two football teams. When the game's over, there's only one winner.
And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season.
And I coached against Mike when he was an assistant with the Bears and they won that football game.
And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.
