Justin Fields is a special player who is going to be a franchise-changing quarterback for the Bears

I'll tell you what [Justin Fields] is, he's a special player... I think he's gonna be, you know, a a franchise changing quarterback for that organization and something we're gonna have to deal with two times a year for hopefully a long time. If I, I get to be the head coach of this team for a long time, so can't say enough good things about where he's at and his development this year.

Justin Fields was eventually traded to the Steelers after the 2023 season, so he did not remain the long-term franchise quarterback for the Bears.

Using prevent defense only prevents you from winning

When you go to prevent defense, the only thing it does, it prevents yourself from winning. So Greg [Berhalter], if you're listening against the Dutch or the Netherlands or the Holland or whatever you want to call 'em, don't park the bus. Keep your foot on the gas. Be free, live free. Have the American spirit flowing through you.

The USMNT lost to the Netherlands 3-1 in the knockout stage, largely due to defensive lapses and an inability to maintain offensive pressure.

I guarantee a USMNT World Cup championship in 2026

This is mission accomplished. It's a win. Anything else on top of that is gravy. We won the World Cup today by advancing outta the group stage because it was never supposed to be us this year anyways. In 2026, that's when the boys spread their wings and become a butterfly. And that's, I'm guaranteeing personally a United States World Cup championship in 2026.

The 2026 World Cup has not yet occurred.

The current top four teams should stay in the College Football Playoff regardless of conference championship outcomes

What I'm gonna say though is I think it should be the four that are in right now [Georgia, Michigan, TCU, USC]. I think it should be those four. You shouldn't get penalized for playing an extra game while the other people are sitting on their couch. I would love for it to be this four.

USC lost their conference championship and was replaced by Ohio State in the final rankings.

I prefer to go for two when down by 14 and scoring a touchdown

This is one I've come around on. I think you go for two just because you then know exactly the circumstances that you're kind of going into games with... now you get two opportunities to get those two points. And if you're able to get 'em on the first time, now you obviously know that your six points down with the ability to score and win on that next extra point.

This is a statement of coaching philosophy.
