Did I ever think at the time, when I was with the Alouettes and the Chicago Blitz, that I would be head-coaching a team in the Super Bowl? It would be hard to believe. Is it a dream come true? Yes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We'll never know if I could have made it to the NFL. Do I think so? Yeah.
I never dreamed I would coach at UCLA. It was not one of those things in my coaching career I thought would happen. It's a tremendous blessing, and I'm going to make the most of it.
Never in a million years would I think I'd play in a Super Bowl.
When I was a kid growing up, my dad being a football coach, he asked the same question of all the assistants that he ever hired: 'Is your goal to be a head football coach?'
It's a dream come true. I mean, when I was a kid, I used to dream about playing college football one day, and now I'm playing in the best conference, and I truly believe that.
My whole life, my dream has been to be a quarterback.
I would have dreams all the time about me playing in the NFL. Every day I woke up, I said to myself, you know, I'm going to work hard, you know, this day to get to that next level.
Coaching wouldn't be for me. No, certainly not.
Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.
I grew up knowing I would be good at athletics, and dreams of a Super Bowl were always within reach as long as I progressed.
