"I live by a cliche if you will; I'd rather say 'whoa' than 'sic em' and I've had to say whoa a little bit and that's ok."
"If you want a team to be championship caliber, it starts with division dominance."
"My mentality is singular in that I want to be world champs each and every year, so that's what we work toward. I have a tough time acknowledging levels of success short of that. That's just how I'm wired."
"Big men on blades of grass. The most violent team is going to win."
"Hungry is a word that I've been analyzing here of late. It's not hunger that drives me, it's not hunger that needs to drive our football team. Hunger and thirst are things that can be quenched. We have to be a driven group, we have to seek greatness."
"Steeler football is 60 minutes. It's never going to be pretty. Throw style points out the window, but these guys will fight to the end. We didn't blink."
"Iron sharpens iron."
“The greatest difficulty with the world is not its ability to produce, but the unwillingness to share.” Unknown Our mission at Football Coach Academy is to do just that, SHARE! We hope to motivate, inspire, train, and educate football coaches of all levels and ability. Please check blog often for updates, quotes, discussions, leadership material, X's and O's, etc. We want to SHARE in your improvement as a coach.

Daily Thought - Mike Tomlin
Below are a few examples of adversity the Pittsburgh Steeler's have overcome to make an appearance in Super Bowl XLV:
Ben Roethlisberger 4 game suspension
Trade of WR Santonio Holmes
Injury losses to T Willie Colon, T Max Starks, DE Aaron Smith, P Daniel Sepulveda
Fines and frustration of James Harrison for helmet to helmet hits
Midseason change in kickers from Reed to Suisam
Despite all that, the standard never wavered.
