Glenn McGrath Quotes

The coaches can only put us in the right position, but it's up to the players to take the action.

The players have got to make the plays.

Everything is up to the players and not the tactics. They're just small details that can show you the way to play.

I think as a play-caller, you have to just go out there, rely on your guys that you have that are out there, rely on the fact that they have ability. And as a quarterback, you have to go out there and just go through your reads.

Whenever a team has three weeks to prepare, and it's an excellent coach and coaching staff and great players, you've got to work on it all.

For the most part, from the player standpoint, the coaches do the coaching and you try to come in and execute the game plan or the scheme they put in front of you.

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.

There are few secrets in football. So execute.

I go out there with whatever the coaches call, and whatever they do, I just go out there, and I'm the player. Coaches coach, and players play.

There are two real keys to winning. You've got to have good players: no coach won with bad players. You win with good players. That is number one. Number two is, when we are playing, let's say we are playing Michigan, and they had a really good press: we've got to solve that press.

I'm just going out there and doing exactly what I'm coached and doing exactly what I'm supposed to do and just trying to help this team win.

I'll put it this way: I couldn't just go out the practice without looking at the playbook, without looking at notes. I wouldn't be able to do much.

It starts with me. I have to get the team in the right play and throw the ball where it's supposed to go.

I think anybody confusing a system with a reason for success is making a huge mistake. Systems don't win games. Players do.

You can put in all the plays in the world, but if a guy is not executing it's not going to work.

In football, whatever can happen can happen when the team performs well and sometimes when the team does not perform as well.

To point the finger at one guy, at each other or at the coaches, won't do any good. It's not supposed to be the coach. It's our team. The coaches can do a phenomenal job preparing you, but it has to come from within.

It's like I was taught and I'm always saying it. Offense wins games, defense wins championships.

Regardless of what you do, or who you have, at the end of the day you have to be able to execute better than the defense does in order to score points.

I train hard; I have the best coaching staff in the world... We always do the right things. I stick to the plan, and we get things done.

When you have a bad season, 75 percent is the responsibility of the players, I really think so.

I tell the players all the time: 'There is no magic play.' Players make the plays.

The fault always lies in the candidate or the head coach or the guy holding the ball.

Sometimes a manager can only do so much, as in prepare a team, and then the team have to go out there and perform.

In order to improve our side, we need players who can make the difference.
