Joe Torre

I guess it's someone who just... I mean, Gil Hodges to me years ago was a nice role model because it wasn't about him, it was about his players.

And any of us coaches or managers who dilute themselves to think that they're the reason that these teams win, I feel sorry for those guys because it's about the players.

And trying to make sense to the players I think is important for us to do and

and sort of point them in the right direction.

But, you know, there are a lot of – I admire a lot – I mean, I love the way Tom Coughlin does what he does in New York.

You know, that wasn't easy for him starting out, and all of a sudden two Super Bowls under his belt.

And I think he certainly has withstood the storm over there for a long time.

Well, I know better than that.

I've watched him coach.

Trust me.

I mean, he, you know, both he and Jeff, to me, did their job with great class and effectiveness.

And, you know, and sometimes it's time to move on.

I felt that three times, trust me.

Oh, I guess it was, you know, the best part was the worst part.

You know, you win four World Series in the first five years, and then when you go to game seven and lose in the ninth inning, they say, oh, you failed.

So, you know, expectation, I guess, and, of course, the media, which I think Stan can vouch for that.

You know, it's always looking for the dark side of it a lot of times, so it's...

And it's just the things you have to deal with aside from being in the dugout or being on court side, you know, is probably the toughest job.

You know, at least you know what you're doing when you're sitting there on the bench.

Well, I'll tell you what I said to them.
