about Tom Brady
"Let me tell you, nobody worked harder on this football team than Tom Brady,
nobody. He made himself into a player, believe me, by not just showing up for
the offseason stuff. He showed up and he worked his butt off."

strength
"There is an old saying about the strength of the wolf is the pack, and I
think there is a lot of truth to that. On a football team, it's not the strength
of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all
function together."

being introduced as a team
"The players wanted to do it that way; they wanted to come out as a team.
We've been doing it since October. ... That's the reason we won. Because we
played the game as a team."

about himself
"I feel like I'm pretty much who I am, for better or worse, whatever
that is. I'm trying to coach a football team. I'm trying to get them ready
to play and...win. That's what my job is."

when asked about his reputation for having a boring personality
"Who said that? [he replied with a wry smile] I feel like that I still am who I am for better or worse. I
try to coach the team the way I coach the team and get them ready. That's
my job. Have I lightened up? I probably have. When I look back at
Cleveland, might I have been too rough at times? Maybe. On the other hand,
when you're trying to establish a program that's not been at a high level,
you have to show the way you want things done."

the decision to start Tom Brady over Drew Bledsoe
"It didn't take a lot of time. It just took Tom going out on the
practice field and showing us that he was going to be able to quarterback
and manage the game at the level we expected him to do it at. He's done it
all year and we wanted to make sure that's what it was going to be on
Sunday, and we're confident that's where he's at."

special teams being "organized chaos"
"There are certain things that happen on a kicking play that are
somewhat structured, but once a ball is kicked, all hell breaks loose.
Everybody's going in different directions."

comparing this team to the first team he took to the playoffs in 1994
"That team took four years to build; this team has come together in
the second year, so it doesn't have quite the same background of the team
in Cleveland. But both are steady, hard-working, high-effort teams."
giving the players credit
"The players [have] been diligent; they've prepared well; they've
really played hard physically on Sundays. They've put a lot of time and
effort into having a successful season."
