"I take full responsibility for where the team is right now. That's incumbent with the position," he said. "My job is to correct this, get us winning, get us feeling better about ourselves, look to be a solution. It's as simple as that. You know, coaching is an interesting art ... I think it was Jimmy Johnson who said the Tin Man needed to be yelled at and the Scarecrow needed to be kicked in the butt and [the Lion] needed to have an arm put around him or whatever."
