    It's not the team with the best players who wins but the team whose players play the best that does.

    Might not be exact quote but real close. I think Lou Holtz said it.:milesmic:

    That's a good one, but not exactly the one I was seeking. The one I'm looking for focuses more on the evaluating coaches. Something to the affect of anyone can coach when you have talented players, but the true measure of a coach is how the team performs when the talent level doesn't match the opponent.

    Thanks for responding.

    "But 'clotheslining' the other team's linebacker after he intercepts your team's pass is a close second"
