You get the job done or you don't.

We're not polishing fine china here.

To live in the past is to die in the present.

I'm not really worried about the other 31 teams.

Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling

When you get wet, it usually means something good.

I don't Twitter, I don't MyFace, I don't Yearbook...

This is the end of this subject for me for a long time.

I'm trying to coach the team and that's what I want to do.

The only thing I can cheer for in Philadelphia is the national anthem.

The less versatile you are, the better you have to be at what you do well.

Every single player matters. Every single player can change the course of the game.

We're always trying to do a better job on that and that's what we'll continue to do.

I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.

My job as a coach is to make good decisions. It's not to go out there and block or tackle.

Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you.

I don't think there's anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers...I mean Chargers.

I think your team evolves every year. The more you know about it, the better you can coach it.

Game management, game decisions, adjustments, seeing things during games - it's all important.

There are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.

Ultimately, the team has to come first even though we all have individual goals and preferences.

What we can control is our performance and our execution, and that's what we're going to focus on.

I'll refrain from making any more comments on any ongoing people involved in the judicial process.

For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.

I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I'm accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.

If there is something that's your passion when you're young, do it. Let everything else take care of itself.

I'm a football coach. I'm not a doctor ... They don't call plays, I don't do surgeries. We have a great deal here.

I told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that's really about it.

If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you're going to come up short next time

The more you and the organization can help take care of personal situations, the smoother the ship runs on the football end.

Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It's part of the process.

To me, if you see a play that's just a bad play, it's just a missed call, I think, as a coach, you should be able to challenge that.

As you know, I'm not on SnapFace and all that, so I don't really get those. I'm really just worried about getting our team ready to go.

Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we'll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team.

We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that's the way it is.

Things happen so quickly. We don't have time for one person to tell everybody what to do. Everybody needs to know what to do in those situations.

I like what I am doing. I enjoy all parts of the game - the team building, training camp, game days, the excitement of Sunday... it beats working.

It's the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

Whatever success I've had it is because I've tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach's duty is to avoid complicating matters.

Tom's [Brady] personal preferences on his footballs are something he can take about in much better detail and information than I could possibly provide.

Bavaro's probably as tough of a - physically and mentally as tough a football player as I've ever coached. So, I would put him in the rare category there.

I think it's relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that's not what we're talking about here with Seattle.

I can honestly say that I never 'enjoyed' our meetings, but the respect I have for Peyton Manning as a competitor was, and will likely remain, second to none.

A lot of performance is based on confidence, knowing what you're doing, and being familiar, and not thinking too much and trying to play at confident game speed.

We don't talk about next year. We talk about today, and we talk about the next game. And that's all we can really control. The rest of it will take care of itself.

To me the footballs are approved by the league and game officials pregame and we play with what's out there. That's the only way that I have ever thought about that.

You have to go with the person who you have the most confidence in, the most consistent. And if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but I'm going down with that person.

My personal coaching philosophy, my mentality, has always been to make things as difficult as possible for players in practice, however bad we can make them, I make them.

There's no medals for trying. This isn't like eighth grade where everybody gets a trophy. We are in a professional sport, and it is competitive to win. That's what we do.

We'll continue to work hard to do a better job in every area going forward. I don't know where those little things will come from but we'll continue to be diligent on them.
