And when you're a coach your main concern is the players and the coaches. The last concern you have is really about yourself.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
People are going to take shots at you for everything you did bad, and they forget about all the good things you did. They do it to everyone. They're going to do it to me, they've done it to all of them. They did it to Tom Landry. Are you kidding me? Tom Landry? With the fedora? Come on. They did it to Tom Landry.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Believe in what you do and keep working hard and you can't take what people say personally, because if you do it'll eat at you.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When it gets going bad and it gets going to where all these things are happening around you, the thing that stands out most is your character. You have to make sure you keep your character and your wits about you, because at the end of the day, it might be bad for a little while, but if you're a good coach it all works out.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When you talk about domestic violence, it's not just athletes that are involved in it. Our society has really done a poor job of addressing it. And it needs to come to the forefront.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
That's the great thing about sports: You play to win, and I don't care if you don't have any wins. You go play to win. When you start telling me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out. 'Cause it matters.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The job of the offense is not to score points. The job of the defense is not to stop the other team from scoring points.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
It wasn't the ghetto here or anything like that. But it got rough. I'll put it this way. I always knew where I lived. I always knew I was in Seaside. That wasn't plush. I wasn't in Monterey. I wasn't in Carmel. I was in Seaside. I knew what that meant.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
This is the world you live in when you're a football player, an athlete. You want someone to discipline you. You want to have consistency. You want a guy that puts you in position so that you can have success.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The best thing you do as a coach is develop an environment where these guys can have some success. Vince Lombardi was that way. He cared about these guys not only as football players but also as men.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The world of football has changed. 'We're going to start a freshman quarterback!' 'Oooh really?!' That was taboo. It's not a shock anymore.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Remember, a receiver can motion wherever, run wherever he wants to on the field, you can't get your hands on the guy and there is a lot of room. When you are a corner, you are playing to the boundary, which is your friend.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
If all you ever play with a cornerback in there is man to man, it is a disadvantage.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Was I hurt sometimes? Yeah. But not to the point where I couldn't play. I think we all go through it. Some guys escape it. Some guys don't. There's no secret formula.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When you're an athlete, the one thing you're concerned about is injury, because that's the No. 1 thing that can take you out.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
One thing you know about playoff competition is this: If you have a hot quarterback and your defense can take the ball away, you don't need to have a dominant defense anymore.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Fans have their own idea about who to hire; that's what makes football great.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Coaches? They can talk. I tell them: 'Just make sure before you open your mouth you've researched what you're about to say. Don't just say stuff. And if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything.'
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Coaching is always about changing. That's the life of a football player and a coach.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
When I got in this profession, as a young guy, as a college coach at San Jose State, I knew right then that I had a passion to do this, to touch people's lives, to develop young men in the game of football.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
Coaches are well aware, especially at quarterback, that it's not the system but the player who comes first.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
I am looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have accumulated as a player, coach and member of the working media with the students at the Cronkite School.
Quote by -Herm Edwards
The players think it's all about them! It's not about them - it's about the game of football, man!
