I've been in the league a lot of years, and I'll know a majority of the coaches, not only in the college ranks but in the professional ranks, both as head coaches, position.

In terms of the past, I think we've all learned from the past. I think that's great wisdom.

I bet you that we all learn from our mistakes. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, too.

From a planning standpoint, you want to surround a first-year head coach with quality coaches at all levels.

Real is when you go to training camp. Real is when you finally get the guys in pads. Real is those guys in that locker room setting those goals because we have some guys now that can set goals and expectations for those guys in the locker room because, ultimately, who are the Cleveland Browns but those guys in that locker room.

If it wasn't for Paul Brown, I probably wouldn't have a job because he basically evolved scouting.

I can do my job with the best of my peers in the National Football League.

Football is what I know, it is what I love, it is what I have worked my whole career at, and I thrive on every element that goes into building a winning football team.

Every year, we want to win. That's an overarching goal.

Winning is important in this league. Just check your ego at the door. It's all about winning. That's what we all should be striving for.

When you mention the Cleveland Browns to me, it brings back vast memories.

I've always liked the history of the game of football, and then, when you mention the Cleveland Browns to me, it brings back vast memories, and I can't just wait to try to build and establish this thing and just move this thing forward.
