As a coach, you look for the elements. Sort of like a chemist, you want to say, 'Okay, here we have all of the parts,' and make what you think will be a successful line.
A coach needs time to get to know the players, the environment, the fans and the culture of the club. You can't solve everything in one or two months.
All really successful coaches have a system.
It's very easy to say take a player, a world-class player out of the system of playing and just push him into a coaching role but coaching is a whole other thing. It's a skill.
At heart, I'm still a coach. I'm always a coach.
If I hire a coach, he's the coach and will run what he knows and is comfortable with. Will it be part of the process? Absolutely. But I am not going to interfere that way as the president.
I've been following some of the coaches, trying to get a little bit more experience, because coaching is very different from being a player.
One of the things you get caught up as a coach is thinking short-term.
I've learned a lot about the process. I had no idea how the balls got from the officials locker room down on the field and so forth and so on and all of that. That's not something I have ever thought or concerned myself about [on] game day. I've concerned myself with preparing and coaching the team.
When I coached guys that I knew would be good coaches, I kind of push them.
When I first starting coaching, I used a megaphone.
It's easy to throw mud at coaches because we don't see - nor often understand - everything they do.
Every coach has his way of working.
I don't like to compare coaches.
Every coach has a different style and approach.
I think all coaches have their own way of doing things.
