Al Davis fires everybody.
When you go through a tournament of seven games, there are peaks and valleys. You kind of ride the players that are hot.
I'm not really big on humiliating assistant coaches in front of everybody.
With the coaches, you don't want to hear everybody saying, 'Move over! Back up! Do this!' Let's find out what the players know.
I enjoyed the NFL. I respected the players. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot of things, but the challenges were a little different, and it didn't seem that you could control your own destiny, especially in terms of how you could bring players to the team.
I think I'd like to be an owner of a Major League Baseball team.
I think what we've tried to preach to our players is we're going to let the best players play.
I don't care what sport you're talking about. What you see with great franchises is structure - a structure that doesn't just take you from year to year, but day to day.
At the minor-league and major-league level, you know how important your coaching staff is, but in a big market it becomes absolutely huge.
I think the biggest thing was that when I was in college, I really concentrated on personnel. That was my strength, and I was, in essence, my own recruiting coordinator. And when I went to the pros, I did the same thing.
I think my decision to stay at Real is looking more and more like the right one. I've never regretted coming back. I came because I trusted the team and I thought we could get better.
Unfortunately, in our business, it's all about the tournament when you're a good team.
I spoke with Abramovich. He is very simple and loves football. We were on the same wavelength: he wants to confirm Chelsea's position at the top.
Players only understand substitutions when they become managers.
I got an offer in 1992 to buy a major-league team. I turned down the offer because I don't want my love of the game to involve business.
A manager gets in the Hall of Fame by what his players have done for him.
I want to own a team one day. You know, that's my next goal.
I have 23 top players and they are all ready to put on the jersey and work on the pitch and that makes you happy and then you have peace of mind.
I've been a director and chairman of three good, modest clubs - Coventry, Charlton and Fulham - and the abuse you get can be cruel and shameful. I've had a wonderful life and wouldn't change a moment of it professionally - except that I should never have become a director.
I've missed the association with players and coaches but haven't missed the recruiting and the travel.
Continuity is very important for national teams.
A manager should stay as far away as possible from his players. I don't know if I said ten words to Frank Robinson while he played for me.
You always attempt to better yourself by getting good football players.
I am going to be a professional soccer player.
Over the last few years, I've started to look more closely at the way coaches work to learn from them - not just here at the club but with the international team as well.
