A lot of teams with expectations crumble.
I've seen teams and I've been on teams where, when adversity hits you, you kind of crumble.
I don't agree that there are big teams and small teams in the Premier League. There are just a lot of good teams.
Not a lot of teams take you into consideration, like a lot of teams can easily decide to if you're hurt or anything, make you go play.
You have a lot of great teams in the NBA. I watched San Antonio against Dallas, and they're two great teams, and there are great teams in the east, as well. So it takes time to gel, as we've all seen.
I spent a lot of time with my teams, especially in the East Coast teams, talking about dealing with the elements a lot of time, and a lot of instruction about field position and those kind of things. I like that variable.
Years ago, when I was (at Stanford), you had maybe one or two teams -- at one time I was part of one of those teams -- you didn't have to worry about, ... Now it's not that way in the conference. A lot of the teams that were once at the bottom kind of have their games together and are making their way to the top.
You have different schemes for different teams. Some teams blitz a lot, and some teams drop eight in coverage.
With 'The Angel's Game', there was a lot of pressure from the expectations - expectations from the book industry and from readers; it's natural.
Teams like the Patriots stress situational football moreso than a lot of other teams in the NFL.
When the road you're on begins to crumble, forge ahead - better it crumble behind you than ahead of you.
I was fortunate to have a lot of teams that were competitive and wanted to win now - which was exciting, to have that many teams come after me.
But if you look at teams that want to share more revenues, they're teams that don't have a lot on the table. They've long since not had any serious investment in their team.
If I fulfill YOUR expectations, how am I going to transform you? I have to DESTROY your expectations. I have to destroy the very mind that creates those expectations. If you come to me, never come with expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed - because I have no obligation to fulfill your expectations in any way. In fact, if I see that there are some expectations, I do things DELIBERATELY to destroy those expectations. That is the price you have to pay to be with me.
A lot of times the expectations of you are so high that no matter what you do you are never going to be able to live up to those expectations. So you better go out and do the best you can and enjoy it.
It's just the way we've chosen to deal with it. What's there to talk about The reality is that we're undermanned in a lot of areas. We're in the best league in the country. We don't have to read the paper to know that all the teams we play are quality teams.
I know a lot of people try and set expectations for me. No offense to you guys, but I set my own expectations.
