“Oh yeah, I mean, we love it here, living in Carolina it’s been great being here five years. But yeah, we’re always interested,” he said. “I love the Philadelphia area and quite honestly it’s been tough to watch the last several years, having grown up in the area and worked there for 12 years. The fan base, I know it’s important to them; they’re genuine, they’re dedicated and they’re real. And the facilities up there are second to none. I’d love to see the Eagles recapture the magic so to speak.”
"Probably the biggest thing is from a leadership standpoint," he said. "The game is not all about x's and o's. It's bigger than that. It's leadership and it's about people. We're not in the business of making doorknobs. We're in the business of people. You've gotta connect with people and in particular, the modern athlete. There are different things that you've gotta do as a coach these days and a teacher to relate to the modern athlete, and I think we do that well here. And then just communicating the vision."
"For myself, being young -- or young in this business at 41 -- but having 17 years in the league, I'm young enough where I can connect with the modern athlete and these young guys, and I kind of act once in a while like I actually listen to their music and they get a big kick out of that and everything, so that's fun. It's fun to be around these guys, they love just seeing your true personality. It's one thing to be one guy behind your desk in your office with your door closed but they want to see who you really are, who you are with your children and your family and then come game time that you're going to be at their side with them and trying to work through those adverse times, and really celebrate the wins and then correct -- within the context of the vision -- the losses."
