“No matter what success I've had, I've tried to approach my job the same way every week. Wins and losses, good years and bad years, whatever it is,” he said. “Each week, you prepare for that week, do your best to help your team win, and when that game is over, you move on to the next game, and when the season is over, that's the end of the season.”
“But when you think about it week-to-week, you don't want to spend time or get caught up in what happened five years ago, what's going to happen two years from now, and a bunch of other random things. Just the Jets.”
