Herm Edwards

You get fired. You get cut. That's just part of it, man. You don't worry about it, but what you do is you make sure that you left it better for the next guy.

You don't quit in sports. You retire. You don't get to quit. It's not an option.

One of my daughters was born in Kansas City. I spent almost 10 years there.

I used to tell people I was 6-foot-4. And with that afro, I was.

The players think it's all about them! It's not about them - it's about the game of football, man!

When you lose a good player, it's like losing a quarterback.

I won't change my character for anybody.

There's good times and bad times. That's part of the coaching. You live with the ups and downs of it but at the end, it's about not only winning games, it's about developing men.

It used to be that the hardest thing to cover was underthrown balls. Then coaches began to think, 'So why not start throwing back-shoulder fades?'

The support of Chiefs fans across the country has been tremendous. They are truly passionate about their football team.

When you have kids, you never think of burying your own child.

I think Brian Hoyer is a good quarterback.

My father gave me discipline.

I wanted to give back to football what it's given me. So, I decided, 'I'm going to be a coach.'

The world of football has changed. 'We're going to start a freshman quarterback!' 'Oooh really?!' That was taboo. It's not a shock anymore.

I don't go crazy but I have those spurts.

We learn a lot of life lessons in how we play this great game, and I've been fortunate enough to be involved in it at every level.

I grew up in the era of the desegregation program. I actually got bussed to a predominately white high school. I didn't have a choice.

I was a bit of a rebel when I was young.

I believe in giving people an opportunity to do their jobs.
