It would have been great to have had 10 victories and been in the playoffs and have gone all the way and then said, 'Goodbye,' but it didn't work out that way.

You can't make a great play until you first do it in practice.

Watch the film, not the stopwatch.

If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does them day in and day out.

The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.

The critics are always right. The only way you shut them up is by winning.

On every team, there is a core group that sets the tone for everyone else. If the tone is positive, you have half the battle won. If it is negative, you are beaten before you ever walk on the field.

I can't tell you how much you gain, how much progress you can make, by working together as a team, by helping one another. You get much more done that way. If there's anything the Steelers of the '70s epitomized, I think it was that teamwork.

The single most important thing we had in the Steelers of the '70s was the ability to work together.

Champions are champions not because they do anything extraordinary but because they do the ordinary things better than anyone else.
