John Fox Quotations

He just didn't feel like he could explode out of breaks with it. When a guy is thinking like that, he's better off not in there. Chris has been around long enough to understand how competitive and how tough it is, especially with the receiving corps they have, and it was a problem.

I think you develop a certain personality. Each year, you develop a different personality football team wise. Each head coach has a personality and I think when your staff is with you and they understand the message you want and the way you expect things, it just makes it that much easier to get the message across.

I think I was too drained by then to get too high. All of us were pretty drained. There was a lot of emotion. I've never seen a game quite like that. There were as big a peaks and as big a valleys as you could have. It was as good a football game as I've ever been involved in.

We felt that like was a very competitive (position) and we went with the guys we felt gave us the best chance to win now.

We have evaluated him and he has the potential to be an impact back. He has great numbers in his career. I have faced him on more than one occasion when I was with the New York Giants and he is a big, strong, physical back. He is somebody that we would be interested in the free agent market.

Continuity is critical in this game when you've got that many people in what I consider the ultimate of team games. Continuity is critical whether it be on your football team or on your coaching staff.

I've seen him do it too many times.

Sometimes players don't like to be reminded of their mistakes, at least not right away.

This bye couldn't have come at a better time as far as getting guys ready.

It's a little bit of an ABC, around-the-world tour.

It's not a hundred percent. There have been those with low test scores that, football-wise, are as smart as anything. I've had some outstanding football players that had single-digit scores.

Any time you lose a close game, you feel it. But when it's the Super Bowl, you know how close you were. Other than when it gets brought up, I don't dwell on it. I know we won our share of close ones last year. But to get to the Super Bowl and not win is really a bummer.

Charlie's got interest in both teams. If I called, I'd be putting him in a rough spot, and I don't want to do that.

You've got to give Jim Skipper some credit when you write about us. The job he's done in keeping our running game afloat under such adverse circumstances is beyond belief.

When someone deeply listens to you, your barefeet are on the earth, and a beloved land that seemed distant, is now at home within you.

Chips on shoulder, all that, everybody plays the game for different reasons. You've got to prove yourself every time you go out there. That's the reality.
