Peterson was the most coachable athlete I have had in my life, and I coach many athletes.

I enjoyed coaching so much that I just have to stay with it. Don Coryell - I love him, and I think he was a great coach - but I hear he's going to build a house on some island. He's going to divorce himself from football, and that's a mystery to me.

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.

Then I went to UCLA - so of course I became a huge Bruin basketball fan... and later came to football.

I feel like I've been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.

I went to UCLA, my dad's alma mater, and that was his dream.

I'm just glad I play for Coach Belichick.

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

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.
