I want to work with the best coaches in the world.

I fell in love with coaching. I loved interacting with young people, having the opportunity to make a tremendous impression on them.

My dad has always been my coach. And I've spent so much time with him. So he's one of my best friends. And I can talk to him about everything.

I wound up through a wild set of circumstances getting into coaching. I went in and volunteered with Don Coryell, who was a big part of my past, great coach. A lot of people say he was one of the greatest coaches ever. He was very good in high school, college and pro. Another guy on that staff was named John Madden.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.

Becoming a coach has to be in your blood. There are hundreds and thousands of former athletes out there, but there are maybe only 10 people who want to dedicate their lives by taking on a job as a coach. Not only a master, a coach should also be a brother or sister to his apprentices.

I'm sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher.

I've been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I've been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later - even if a coach comes in that's able to connect with them - if that's who they are, they're going to go back to it.
