" When you get the opportunity of playing this game. And certainly from a scheduling standpoint. And you look at everything that goes on -- the week prior in the bye week and then the week of the Super Bowl. There's a lot goes into it thin. I want to take his time to. Thank commissioner Goodell in the league office. For relief providing. An outstanding environment. For both teams. To prepare. In. They've played their best football. In. -- knew you you you really don't realize how much goes into. The planning of an event like this and then. From the day we arrived on Monday and after the Pro Bowl. To midnight last night. It was perfect. Then now because we won. But logistically the planning. The scheduling the support we had from the league. Was outstanding in. You know as a head coach sometimes -- the year may be blind to the bigger picture it's been. I appreciate. I appreciate the the organization. In the the many. Responsibilities. But people not only in this room. But. Many responsibilities. That. The league provides for for both teams to get ready really put their best foot forward. Do we bullpen. For the last three weeks -- that we born and gentlemen by the name of Tim Daly who I meant that the Pro Bowl in 2006. Who really epitomize. I think what. With the league is about in regards to his commitment. To. Just just worked him in grind in India and make him and making everything. Smooth. Whether it was a Pro Bowl weather was a game in London. And so those those initials TD. -- Didn't really necessarily stand for us wanting to scored touchdowns. Those initials. Represented somebody. Who is committed to the game. Committed to. All the nuances and all the hard work and effort that. That really. Basically you put the players that in the game itself first being. I felt like is that as a coach. I was honored and to have a chance to coaching in this. Game in this venue. And be a part of it with guys like Drew Brees in the New Orleans Saints. The truly humbled by that. And don't. For one minute take that for granted. Then."

" When Mickey Loomis hired me in 2006. Not having been from New Orleans. And it would be hard to describe. The relationship between the fans and the players that are. Then. It became appeared to me dead."

" Football. Was. Obviously very important but there was much bigger than football -- being when we get into coaching or playing. We get into it for certain reasons and in yet. The reason seasons. In New Orleans were far exceeded. Will we ever expected. I'm honored to have had a chance to coach and worked with. This team. India -- league. Being. Here I can't help but thinking treatment said this few days ago to me you know for. All the number of players have played in this league 81012 years and never had that opportunity. To play in this. Final game this in the Super Bowl. You know I'm just. --"

" It is very. Appreciative of of having an opportunity to compete. For a championship with guys like Drew Brees with with the players that we put together Mickey Loomis and Saints organization. Then to be apart of to be a part of that. Then. A small part of it. As a coach I'm very honored in. Certainly. -- feels great to win. I've been in this game where we didn't win. But. It's amazing. With the what will we've been able to -- is an NFL been able to achieve in twenty years. In. Where were and is the league's. Is stronger than ever been I'm proud to. I'm proud to be. One small. Piece of that then. I love the fact that on the head coach in the National Football League and I love the fact. I was able to were given the opportunity to be head coach of the Super Bowl team. It and you know last night about 3 in the morning. When it was quiet. It took the elevator. Didn't. But this trophy down on the desk. It and just said a prayer. Thank god ball. For these special times that and that don't come around too often and -- That are very appreciative. You hinder you."

" Very humbled by -- so. Any questions."

" Shawn. Johnson -- Tino from USA today over here. I coach congratulations. Thumb we -- know how difficult it is for Super Bowl champions to repeat the following season why do you think that is what will be the critical components of holding this all together for next season. And secondly is it a priority for the Saints to retain Darren Sharper and Reggie Bush. Well."

" I I think this I think as a -- short personnel. You know the the off season. Decisions. In regards to your personnel. The window shorten some. In regards to your work schedule but. You know there there's something about what we do. That. May be allows you Torre for 48 hours before. You start -- the next challenge. Then you're. Somewhere last night we talked about. Dallas Texas. Then you're one of the greatest stadiums now. That our league knows. That in. Is -- others there's. It's probably never enough you know and in regards to the challenge then. That's that's and that's the neat thing about it when you get a quarterback like Drew Brees is in the prime of his career. It's not enough last night was great. Thin. And yet there's still some in the burns and -- two. Separate yourself more and so. Lola. We'll spend here a little bit of time. Being refuel and recharge the batteries and get ourselves prepared. For the challenges ahead. It is and we know they'll be difficult in yet. No more difficult than. -- this team going after Katrina doing everything that took place in 2006. Our players be ready for the shows we're young we're hungry. One thing about this game this this Super Bowl ring when you have an opportunity to participate. The week thing in the event itself. It just. It just pulls you. It that much closer to wanting to be in it again and and having having been a part of the team in 2000. Against the Baltimore Ravens. But it just remembered he'll leave in the game. Although it was a difficult loss. With that desire to get back in that venue. There's so much about it that's that's right. There's so much about the special. This is that there's no other. Championship game. Like the Super Bowl. I didn't. Last night about midnight. Grab this is second last night about midnight. -- regret this trophy. And one of our coaches. Name's Joe Lombardi is -- Marty's grandson. Then. Joe Lombardi. His father Vince junior. His two Brothers set. And pose with this trophy before -- pictures were taken and he and I just thought to myself you gotta be kidding me. Did you. Did you believe in -- And then you believe Vince Lombardi is there looking down on his grandson. -- that -- better. -- this is a guy the coaches are quarterbacks coach is Drew Brees. And here's a trophy is named after his grandfather. So. You can't. He came did enough of this. It is missing laid my bed next to me last night."

" And rolled over couple times I've probably -- about it."

" But. Man there's nothing like it. There's nothing like it within. Two B a coach. To be a coach in India part of a great team with players like Drew Brees. Among. That I don't take that. Opportunity lightly at all. I feel very fortunate very blessed. It and."

" Very humbled by. Jon -- on Andy Kent miamidolphins.com. Last night you joined Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin this Bill Parcells disciples to win the Super Bowl. What does that say about his coaching tree and since you're in Miami. Did you get to get -- do you talk to mutual congratulations from him from Tony Sparano."

" I did. Did Tony. Sparano and I spent three years -- ability Dallas. Three long years. Lot of work. I think -- been a great influence on our careers. I've said this number time times during the week that. Still -- I've been very fortunate. To have come up and worked with a number of great coaches in in when you when your afforded that opportunity. You're able to hone your skills. And hopefully learn and and become a better coach. And I was I was very fortunate the years I spent New York was willing to murder of in the Tisch trim the in. -- to have an opportunity to work with. Bill in -- Jerry Jones family. Those don't those opportunities don't come around too often. Because they spent a number conversations with build. Leading up to this game didn't. Just recently ten minutes before getting here talked to him. And he taught me we don't -- so much. Just about people and about teaching him about the valuations -- about preparation. And yeah. I'm better haven't had a chance to work with him. Then that you're in the history of our league and the great players and great coaches and when you're able to. When you're able to. Be a part of that history. I think you're better off for liriano yeah there -- It's a big reason why we're sitting here today -- missing. Buccaneers so. I'm thankful for that."

" IN Abydos Toledo's story times union culture revisit the onside kick. Did you spot something in there. Defense is -- it would work why hits. And halftime. And -- practice. I assume the ball doesn't go the way it did richest defensive guy who. Fortune if you square away 100 years you were to practice and his love crush your mind hey this doesn't repeat losing -- writer."

" Give each week when you play an opponent you're do you try to look for an edge. Maybe in the kicking game. Whether to punt field goal in this case it was our kick off. Thomas More stated that a good job practicing. This surprise onside kick this ambush as we call to -- left. We felt like there was an edge there you know with. The ball been on the far hash. The deal the Frontline has a tendency to move for move quicker back to to get -- And Greg McMahon and Mike Mallory. Did a great job be known in really presenting it to me and selling me on the idea that that we would gain an advantage. I think. Last week we gave it work in New Orleans. Course we practiced at some here. Euro was a little mindful of that. You're with a Z many people letters at practice the Super Bowl but we felt like it -- The opportunity presented itself we just didn't know win. Yesterday morning and our team meeting before we started you know I told the special teams units that -- you know we were gonna. We worked -- considerate we were gonna do it. Then. We just had to find the right time and when we came in at halftime you know. If you've got a longer period of time in the Super Bowl where there's entertainment going on. We had the chance to come online. And focus on the next half. There was that time I just told the team that. When we opened the game in the second half we were gonna. We're gonna start with the ambush and then after we recovered it. You know here than actually plays -- we scripted -- basically we scripted. The next state plays beginning on the left Nash forty some yard line. Credit the players they did a great job of executing. The surprise onside kick and it made me look good. Big gave us really for an additional position. It's much like -- turn over. And in more importantly after we obtain the balls we were able to march down and scored a touchdown in. Really create some momentum. Players that are great job we'll make me look good with that call. There was it was calculated. It was well thought out -- special teams coaches. We felt like the risk reward was worth it. Been. In the end we were able to. Gator addition to gain an additional position due to score a touchdown in the execution was outstanding it's it's it's fairly difficult when your. The right footed kicker you're trying to. -- one across your body. You know it happens a lot to me when I swing a golf club but he's. But to plan on like that. Was it was outstanding especially from a -- rookie player. You know when you look at a guy like Thomas More student someone asked some last night you know how we felt. I think his response was you you know Hughes nurses know. But. But he executed it well we recovered it and drew of the offense took advantage of that field position scored a touchdown in. That was pretty significant. In the second half. -- thank you."
