Mike Sherman Win Quotations

Certainly, last year walking off that field after the Atlanta game was one of the low points of my coaching career. It was nice to win this football game. That simple.

We took shots down the field, but they have to be open shots, ... When they're playing your vertical routes, it gets tough. You can't force balls. When you force balls, you have interceptions. We sent vertical guys down field. Missing a player like Walker, there will always be a what-if. But we still should have been able to win this game.

I might invite him over to my house for dinner tonight, ... He certainly still has some ways to go, but I was proud of the fact he made a good play there and gave us a chance to win the game.

We just didn't make the necessary plays to win this ball game, ... or make the necessary calls to win this ball game.

He's the type of guy that can flip the switch probably better than anybody. He can be in here warming up with the guys and jackin' around and then he goes out there and crosses the line and, bang, he's all business and trying to win the drill. One minute he's putting ice cubes down a coach's back, and the next he's throwing a touchdown pass where he's totally focused on what he's doing.

That intensity to win transfers to his coaches and players. I don't think that has ever wavered at all.
