Chuck Noll Quotes

A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.
It's not pleasant when you lose your whole football team.
The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.
The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing.

Good things happen to those who hustle.

In 1969, we decided we had to do certain things technically to win, and we decided to do them then, even though we knew some of the personnel couldn't do it.

Mamas, don't let your sons grow up to be Cowboys... or Oilers.
Never make a major decision based solely on money.
One of the things you learn in football is that you're only as good as your last outing. I don't like to reflect on what we've done in the past. I'm not a very good storyteller, for one thing. I'd disappoint you. When it's time, I'll talk about the good old days. But it's a sign of old age, reveling in the past.
Pressure is something you feel when you don't know what you're doing.
