Just now found this. Good coach who was a funny character!

"Football is a game of failure," Phillips was quoted as saying. "You fail all the time, but you aren't a failure until you start blaming someone else." - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/salisb ... sMwzl.dpuf

If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.
