At heart, I'm still a coach. I'm always a coach.

You have an obligation as a player - as an athlete at any level - and it doesn't matter what sport it is. When you sign on, you sign on. You prepare that week to go win. I don't care about your schedule, or how many people got hurt - it doesn't matter. You owe it to the people in the building and guys in the huddle to prepare yourself to win.

The support of Chiefs fans across the country has been tremendous. They are truly passionate about their football team.

I don't go crazy but I have those spurts.

You don't forget how to coach.

I'm Catholic now, I'm Christian, watch out for them Devils.

Football ignites my soul.

I competed every day as a professional football player... You've got to like competing. That's how your team gets better, when you have competition every day.

I like to have fun.

I believe you bet on yourself and you commit to something and you give all your energy and effort to it, and that's what I've done my whole life.

I don't need validation from people at all.

I kind of know who I am as a man. There's a value system I believe in.

You don't want an emotional team; you want a passionate team.

I wanted to give back to football what it's given me. So, I decided, 'I'm going to be a coach.'

I think Brian Hoyer is a good quarterback.

I grew up in the era of the desegregation program. I actually got bussed to a predominately white high school. I didn't have a choice.

One of my daughters was born in Kansas City. I spent almost 10 years there.

College has become a wide-open game - a lot of short passes, quick passes. Then you go to the pros and it's a whole different ballgame - things are happening faster, the patterns have to be more precise. Getting off the line of scrimmage is more difficult.

I think I bring a good perspective because I did a lot of things in the NFL - player, head coach, assistant and scout.

When you're on TV, you're still coaching, believe it or not. You're just coaching America, you're not coaching one team.

It used to be that the hardest thing to cover was underthrown balls. Then coaches began to think, 'So why not start throwing back-shoulder fades?'

We learn a lot of life lessons in how we play this great game, and I've been fortunate enough to be involved in it at every level.

I do the right thing on purpose. I don't do it by accident.

What makes us different? Well, besides our skin color and our nationality and maybe our religion, nothing. We all want the same thing, we all want to have success in America.
