I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games. — © Woody Hayes
I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games.
It's my job. I am just going in there trying to win games. But it is always fun when you are playing football.
We're dealing with men here. What we're trying to do is help them become the best players they can be, and we're all collectively trying to win games. So what I always tell people is that the way you earn these players' respect is, do you make them a better football player?
You're coaching Kentucky - and you have a chance to change lives. That's not what this is up there in the NBA. You have assets. You're trying to piece a team together. You're trying to win more games than the other guy. You're trying to advance in the playoffs, and if you don't, they'll find somebody else that can.
We're trying to win football games, and whoever we feel like gives us the best chance is who's going to play behind center.
I'm against the fighting. But sometimes when you're trying to help your team, trying to win the games, there are moments when you need to get a little aggressive.
I'm trying to win every single week. I'm not trying to come out and just win the majors. I'm 23. This is my first full year.
I'm just trying to win games and give my team a chance, win as many as we can week in and week out.
In some ways, trying to win cups is more fraught than trying to win the league, as one really bad night and everything comes crashing down.
I want my little corner of the world where I get to make games where you're not trying to win or lose; you're not trying to get a higher score - you are having unbelievable amounts of fun as you learn about yourself and the world. That's what games can do!
What we've been trying to do is difficult. You know it's difficult to win one, to win two. Madness to win three. But to try and come back to win it again should be impossible really.
I think everybody has got to understand that you go into certain games, and they've got all the tools and the weapons to win a game of football and you're really trying to contend as much as anything else.
I live in the moment. I try to win as many games as I can in any given year. That's what I've always tried to do. But I don't dwell on the past games. That doesn't help you win games now. If that helped win games now, I'd dwell on them.
Listen, I want to win football games; whatever's going to help us win.
Systems win you nothing, and football players win you games.
Win games. Win games in the playoffs. Win the Super Bowl. That's what it comes down to. The ultimate goal is to start off by winning the division and go from there. Those are the big goals.
I'm not out there to win a popularity contest. I'm out there to win basketball games.
