Yes, I realize that he is the only head coach in Bears history to win a Super Bowl, and his leadership, discipline and style were certainly right for the Bears that season. But as an x's and o's coach, he was lacking. And, after the Super Bowl success, h

Mike Ditka, a great tight end
They’re using him the right way, and he has a quarterback who believes in getting him the football ... I also had a quarterback (Billy Wade) who believed in me. But I think this kid has a great, great future. You just hope an injury doesn’t stall it. But he’s a hell of a football player.
That was different ... That was defending yourself, OK? What happened yesterday really just got chippy. I think what happened there was a couple of shots that were taken during the game and as we got frustrated we retaliated for those. At that point, you keep your composure. If it's a prolonged thing, M...
You’ve got to pick your poison ... You’re not going to cover (Gronkowski) with a defensive back. He’s too big and too strong for that. And he’s too athletic and too fast for a linebacker. So they have a terrific scheme that uses all its parts very well. But (Gronkowski) is special. There’s no other way ...
It's a place in which Mike Ditka and the University of Chicago have basically equal standing, and the smashing together of those two make Chicago such a funny place to live in. If you think about some of the quintessential Second City characters - Bill Murray, George Wendt, John Belushi - they all have ...
They wanted me to do it this week, but my schedule is so terrible. I’m flying all over the country ... But he’s an interesting young man. There are a lot of good tight ends in the league today. It’s fun to watch him. He’s really come on the scene fast. I don’t think he’s going to go away for a long time...
I just came to see what was up
Supposedly for a lot of us, our careers were over
Lee Roy Jordan was the leader of that football team ... But we had so many good players on defense. A lot of those guys aren't in the Hall of Fame, but they're Hall of Fame players in my opinion. Guys like Cornell Green and Chuck Howley and Lee Roy, they were amazing players.

Tom was a very loyal man and Craig Morton was a really good guy
It reminds me of that baseball announcer who said, ‘It’s going, it’s going, it’s gone,’ ... And they are gone. They’re running out of time. They’re running out of excuses.
Great football teams rely on their defense because your offense is going to have an off day ... Are they a great team? They are 8-0. Are they going to go undefeated? I don’t think so, unless their defense gets better.
To this day, I don’t respect (Gregg)
Are you kidding? ( George ) Halas would roll over in his grave.
I think it's very unfair, but that's the media; he did what he was supposed to do and unfortunately, great people get dragged down when stupid people do bad things
I'm not going to put 47 players' futures in the hands of one player who thinks he knows more than I do
I don’t recommend losing to anybody
