He died right after he retired, and seeing that made me feel more conscious of a man needing a motive to live. If I ever got out of coaching, I would have to get a job somewhere, or I'm afraid I'd wilt on the vine, too.
A better ending could not have been scripted. Of course, if we had won, that would have been better.
Something has to happen that you can't coach.
I've always said it takes more courage to stand back there and throw a ball knowing you're fixing to get drilled than anything I can think of in football.
I suppose I'm like most coaches now, standing on the sideline hoping somebody asks them a question.
I guess I'll retire someday if I live that long.
