""It's a tough league to coach and win in. That's why it's the best league in the world. The parity this year has been amazing. If you think about some of the teams that are in playoff spots now and some of the teams that aren't, I don't think anyone would have predicted that type of turnover. It shows how quickly things can change.""
""I think it's always the question you are asking in the coaches' room. It's a combination of many things. I think that accountability starts at the top of the organization and then works its way into the coach's office, then the leadership group and the guys who are the daily voices. It's a fine line, and it's a word that gets thrown around fairly easily in the game.""
