Sorry, nothing tops McCarthy at training camp last year.

That was the greatest speech I've ever heard from a coach in any sport.

Where is Jimmy even from? Ours is from Greenfield Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15217.

I’d take Belichick over JJ anytime. Belichick would pimp his own mother to win and has done it through the salary cap era which is a huge accomplishment. Both fine coaches but the nod goes to the Beelzebub in Massachusetts

Jimmy had a way of motivating the players and coaches around him, he was always confident, and it rubbed off on the team.

In an interview once, Jimmy said that Jerry told him, I can make an oil deal and make 10 million dollars and no-one would ever know, but if we cut or sign a player, the cameras and lights come on....that's what Jerry wanted the facetime on TV, and eventually Jimmy got sick of it and the rest was history.

Port Arthur, Texas.

The passion in his voice says a lot. Men voluntarily follow fearless, passionate, and smart leaders.
