“Championships are won by teams who love one another, who enjoy and respect one another and play for and support one another. In the NFL, it’s important to all 32 owners and all the coaches, whether they be young or old, to realize that we have an obligation to teach these young men the lessons, the principles, the life skills they will need once their professional careers are over. While it is the job of the head coach to get the technical football right — that’s why we get hired, to make sure the Xs and Os are efficient and that the players have a great plan, and that plan allows them to go forth and have a chance to win games — it is our duty to equip these men with the virtues that will last a lifetime.
“The values like honesty, trust, responsibility, respect, service and integrity, those are the things we teach, in addition to the football. You see the gentlemen in this crowd who have played for this organization; they represent what I’m talking about. Not just winners on the field, but winners in life. People you can be proud of. You’d like these people to be your next-door neighbor. That’s how important it is to me.”
