6. “Football is such a team sport, so no one individual does it. No one coach or no one assistant coach or no one player, it’s a great team sport, so I don’t get carried away with a bunch of accolades” (Jimmy Johnson). 7. “If you win a Super Bowl before you’re fired, you’re a genius, and everyone listens to you. But, a coach is just a guy whose best class in grammar school was recess and whose best class in high school was P.E. I never thought I was anything but a guy whose best class was P.E.” (John Madden). 8. “I feel that a great coach is one that has a vision, sets a plan in place, has the right people in place to execute that plan and then accepts the responsibility if that plan is not carried out” (Mike Singletary).

9. “I’m sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher” (John Madden).

10. “I didn’t have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn’t want to. But I didn’t think they’d pick one I didn’t like” (Bear Bryant).

11. “A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment” (John Wooden).
