I won't miss coaching. What you miss is that camaraderie with those boys and the other coaches. You miss that.

You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.

Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.

Players suffer coaching changes all the time; it's life in the NFL.

I've really gained an appreciation for what coaches do since I returned to the NFL.

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

I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That's the one thing I've never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.

Every kid I've been around as a football player, they want their coaches to make them better as men and as players.

As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.
