The honor I feel today being inducted into the Hall of Fame is beyond what words can describe. My thanks to the Hall of Fame committee, who saw fit to bestow this great honor upon me today.
Yesterday is a cancelled check. Today is cash on the line. Tomorrow is a promissory note.
I've lived a charmed life. I married the only girl I ever loved and did the only job I ever loved.
You can't win unless you have good people with great attitude. They are the ones who won the games. I didn't win any games. You never saw a coach make a tackle anywhere. My philosophy was to get the best players and then try to do something new with them.
We want to create a problem for the defense, a moment of indecision as they figure out how they want to play against whatever formation we may show. We get a slight edge this way. Also, we create the opportunity for a defense to make more mistakes.
The receivers are an integral part of the passing game.
As I matriculate my way down the field of life, I will never forget this moment and you wonderful people who helped make this day possible.
