I have to show some patience and at the same time intelligence and move forward with our football team to get ready to put the best guys out there for Tampa Bay. At this point, I don't think (Birk) can get enough in to help us in that particular game, so I have moved forward. |
I haven't given that any thought because I'm concerned about winning a game this week. I let all the others in the building that have vice president titles or whatever figure out how that is going to work, and then I'm sure they'll sit me down and tell me how that is going to work. |
I just believe that if I ask them to do something that's going to be moderately hard, that I should at least attempt to have some fun with it and do it too. |
I know the veteran leaders will help us stay settled down on the road, ... It is never easy and composure is a key. |
I love all three of my sisters, Maureen, Sheila and Kitty, but I don't get any thrill by kissing them. It has always been said that a tie is like kissing your sister, and 8-8 is a tie to me. I would like to finish with a winning record. |
I meant nothing by it but a joke. |
I probably shouldn't have sold my tickets. I made a mistake. I regret it. I'll never do it again. I'm going to be in trouble. I'll probably get slapped with a big fine. |
I really don't want to go back to last year. What I want to talk about is the team this year. To keep dwelling back to last year, that's for (the media). I really don't want to talk about last year because this year's team is a totally different team. It's a more mature team. |
I said this morning, if we didn't have Mike Bennett, we probably would've lost both Detroit games. I am proud of how he has handled himself. |
I sold some of my tickets this year. I did. I told the league that and I told [team owner] Red McCombs that. I'm not going to lie. But if I'm going to be thrown out this year for selling tickets, then I'm a scapegoat. If I'm guilty of anything, I'm guilty of selling some of my tickets. I am not guilty of buying any player tickets since I've been made the head coach [in January 2002]. |
I still remember Marcus running down the left sideline to beat us one time at Soldier Field, ... Having him on the No. 1 offense in the NFL [in 2003] gives us an opportunity to really stretch the field and take pressure off of Randy. |

I talked to Brian about three weeks ago to see how he was doing. I know he was under a little bit of heat. Of course, I know what that is like, so I figured I'd see how he was doing, since normally, five or six times a year, he calls me to see how I'm doing when I'm under heat. |
I think a code of conduct is very important. It will be put on paper and adhered to by the organization when it's ready. |
I think about it a lot, |
