Reggie White's 21-sack season in 12 games is a record that will never be beaten

Reggie White... had the greatest year that I've ever coached in that he had 21 sacks, which was the record for a long time. But that was in a 12-game season because we had a strike... So in 12 games, he had 21 sacks. I mean, I don't think anybody's going to ever come close to that.

J.J. Watt is the only defensive lineman I've ever coached who was allowed to call his own stunts based on offensive formations

One of the guys I coached in the last several years was J.J. Watt. And we let J.J., we let him determine where he was going to go by the formation... Normally, the linebacker plays off the defensive lineman, but we just did the opposite with him. He's one of the few guys I've ever had that... just decipher what the formation is and then go play.

The Titans' Music City Miracle was definitely a forward pass

I was standing there on the sideline, you know, right across from where they were making the play, where he was throwing the ball forward. So I still thought when they scored, I thought they, you know, they're going to call it back... threw it from behind the line and the guy caught it in front of a line. So I don't see how it couldn't have been forward.
