Let me tell you something: I'm a simple person who lives a simple life.
Bill Cowher
I've been very blessed to be surrounded by some very special people.
I just love the Buffalo market. Say what you want about their fans, it'll be December and they've been out of the playoffs for a month. But if there's a December game with snow, there's still going to be 72,000 people in those stands. One of the most passionate, loyal groups of fans in the National Football League, bar none.
The captain tag is something that players vote on, head coaches they give their title to. It requires a player that you think exemplifies leadership.
The goal is to hit your stride, stay in the hunt and be playing your best football in December.
Anything I can do to help inspire and thank our troops in anyway will be a tremendous honor for me.
It is a lot easier to kick off a turf field than it is off a grass field.
You go back to fundamentals when things start to go awry.
Balance is really important.
All the projects that coaches go through in the offseason are based on the success other teams had in every area whether it's offense, defense or special teams. What they do is see if they can incorporate anything they see with the people they have.
I've had a couple of people - prominent coaches - walk into an office, shut the door and say, 'What's it like, not coaching?' They're scared. They're scared not to have that. And I'll tell them, 'You know, it's different. You're not going to replace coaching. But there's some normality that's out there, and that's also kind of refreshing.'
What the Jets did with Mark Sanchez, they took a rookie quarterback and went pretty far with him.
I enjoy the balance I have in my life.
As a quarterback, you have to have a short memory. Don't lose your confidence, and stay within yourself. Don't try to do too much.
I miss the combative back and forth, strategic elements of the game on Sunday. Making the adjustments, and what you've prepared for all week all of a sudden isn't there.
Stealing someone's signals was a part of the game and everybody attempted to do that. We had people that always tried to steal signals.
I've lived a blessed life.
I think coaches are very much guilty of trying to implement players into their schemes as opposed as trying to fit schemes into players. That's the thing that can separate good coaches from bad.
Kaye was such a loving and compassionate person and she was the foundation of our family. Kaye was always at my side throughout my career as a player, coach, NFL analyst and, most importantly, as a parent to our three daughters Meagan, Lauren and Lindsay. They will miss their mother dearly.
I'm a New Yorker. I never thought I'd say that.
A lot of times losing a game is not taking care of the football, foolish penalties.
I really enjoy my job at CBS.
The one thing you have to be careful of is trying to do what other teams and players are doing when you don't have the people to do it yourself.
I had some great players, great coaches, the best organization in football.
Football is a total team sport.
It isn't just about winning the championship and I don't think you should be defined by that.
Going back to being a head coach entails a full-time commitment to that job and I would not go into it for any amount of money and do it halfway. It would be a total commitment, not part-time.
Dan Rooney was my boss, my father, my friend, my mentor.
Just thinking about the Pittsburgh franchise and Dan Rooney when he hired me, my first goal was just not to get fired before my 20th high school reunion.
In all honesty, I hope I don't coach again.
The ozone is breaking down more and more each year; that's a fact. That being said, we have to be more conscious of the sun and what it can do to your skin.
There's been a lot talk about football and safety issues. My big thing is the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Le'Veon Bell, as we have seen through the years when healthy, is such a dynamic player not just out of the backfield, but as a receiver.
I coached Derrick Thomas for the first three years of his career. He was a special player.
Nobody remembers that you lost a Super Bowl, they remember who won a Super Bowl.
There comes a time in your life - I'm healthy and happy, and I've been fortunate - you've got to prioritize things.
Confidence is a fragile thing.
I am a member of the Heads Up Football Advisory Committee, have participated in a Heads Up Football clinic, and strongly endorse the program. It's a better, safer way to play the game.
The draft is like game day on a 3rd-and-5. You have a lot of plays you can choose from. You go with your gut, pick and play and hope it works.
To be recognized for making the contributions I did, along with the others who are part of the Hall of Honor, it really is humbling. Particularly when you grow up in Pittsburgh and know what the Steelers mean to the city. To me, as a little boy growing up watching the Steelers, this means a lot to me. It's special.
When you become a head coach, you've played the game; you've coached the game. You have a great understanding of what happens at every level.
If I ever want to get back into coaching I should be calling teams they shouldn't be calling me. That's when you know you really want to do it.
To give back something to the game of football has been a part of my life.
The one thing that you can't ever take away are the relationships, the experiences that you have, particularly at the high school level.
Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger are big guys with strong arms.
You're not going to see me on the sidelines. I enjoy it, I miss it, but not enough to get back.
No one loves football more than me.
Heads Up Football is a comprehensive youth and high school football membership program developed by U.S.A. Football and supported by the NFL and other leaders in sport and medicine to advance player safety.
I want kids to continue to enjoy our game and benefit from the rewards of playing the ultimate team sport. That's why it's important for young players, parents, and coaches to know about U.S.A. Football's Head Up Football program.
We're trying to give a young man life lessons - sacrifice, commitment, teamwork, self-confidence, self-esteem. That's what this sport does for kids.
