At first, they had to run me out of the building. Now, I know when it's time to go. |
At one time, you think you're invincible. This just can't happen to you but, when it happens, the reality sets in that you either change or you die. You realize you've got only one life. |
I backed off, got my rest. Get myself well and get healthy. |
I don't know what I'll be able to do [next season], but I'm feeling better health-wise. I would not be interested in [becoming a head coach again]. Not at all. |
I hope I got all of that out of the way. |
I know some guys that will do anything to stay here or play here or do whatever. Hey man, be honest with yourself. Because you have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'Am I good enough or not good enough?' That's the way it is. I've been a coach long enough to realize the nature of this business and what you have to do. I know a lot of things have happened the past few years. I know the fan base is really upset with the way we've played, and they should be. |
I saw six or seven heads when there was only one. |
I still don't trust myself. I can get a little too excited at any time. |
I still work regular hours. I'm feeling a lot better. |
I tried to get out of bed and I fell down. |
I wake up the next day - my balance, my vision, everything is gone. I couldn't hardly see anything. I couldn't stand up straight. My equilibrium was gone. So, something was wrong. Being a little stubborn, I'm thinking that it's going to go away. |
I'm an early guy and a late guy. |
I'm not going to lie and sit here and say I'm 100 percent. I'm not, but I'm feeling well enough to come back and work and come back and do some things. I'm not going to rush it. |
I'm not one to volunteer to go to the doctor. So quite naturally, when I volunteered, my wife was aware that something serious was going on because that's the last thing I would do. |
I'm one of those guys who knows when something serious is going on. And this is a lot more serious than anything that has happened in my life. |
