Marcus Freeman said, “I’m not here to be your friend.”
- I’m here to push you.
- I’m here to challenge you.
- I’m here to help you be successful.
I am a Coach.
Mike Tomlin says he doesn’t care what critics think because there are only 3 types of people in the world: those who talk, those who watch, and those who do
“I say nothing. We got resumes. We all do. And we got to stand on that. I live a life, man, where I don’t seek comfort. I don’t make excuses. Engaging in that discussion to me is excuses. I don’t live that life, man.”
“I pour everything I got into what I do, man. And when the dust settles, it settles, and I keep it moving.”
“I don’t care a whole lot about what people have to say. Respectfully, I don’t. Some people talk, some people watch, some people do. I’m glad I’m a doer. I’m glad I live in that world.”
“I love the kitchen. I love competition. I love it when it’s hot. I love the challenges that our business presents. That’s just the life I choose to live, and I understand the things that come with it. And I’m okay with it.”
Mike Tomlin says coaches who are afraid of criticism become easier to beat because they start protecting themselves instead of helping their players
“Sometimes I got an agenda, and that was kind of my agenda, man. We don’t take enough responsibility as coaches. There’s so much specialization in our business. There’s so many damn coaches and analysts and all of this stuff.”
“The generation that raised us, man, they coached every damn thing. They took responsibility for everything. You’re on the field, you’re off the field — they just trained you. I want to be a one-man crusade for that.”
“Let’s own everything. Let’s raise these dudes. They need it, man. It’s so many places to hide, man. We got to tell the truth.”
“You’re damn right. It’s hard though. People don’t want to be laid naked in front of folks. When you’re coaching the team and you’re being your authentic self, now you’re open for whatever.”
“People so scared of criticism. They so scared to say, ‘No, this is my decision. This is what I believe and I’m standing on it,’ that now they hold themselves back from actually helping a player be better.”
“They trying to insulate themselves in case it don’t go right. ‘I don’t want to tell you this because if it go bad, then I told you. I’m gonna let you go by yourself.’ A lot of people don’t have the security. They easier to beat.”
