1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: We'll progress a little bit with a normal Friday in 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: terms of reviewing all the situations, the Big four, going 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: through the entire game plan. Uh, it's been a good 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: productive week four so far has been very good for 5 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: the team being out here. A very appreciate the University 6 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: of Arizona, you know, extending the facilities and what they've 7 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: offered and worked with us on coming more grateful. I 8 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: know they're very busy to themselves right now, in the 9 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: middle of a big recruiting weekend, so the staff themselves 10 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: are all back in off the road. There's a lot 11 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: of gymnastics going the building, but they've completely let us 12 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: have free run whatever we want, whatever we need. Coming 13 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: more appreciate that. That being said, we'll open penny questions 14 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: might stand in the protocol. Everything's on track. He's obviously 15 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: a final clearance today with the doctor practice with us today. 16 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: You want to simulate some contact for him today off 17 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: on the side and then I'll talk to the doctor 18 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: and uh, we'll see what goes in there and he'll 19 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: start if he's at this moment. If he's clear and 20 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: he's at the game, I will start. How's that progressing? 21 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Actually a good day yesterday, he's moving along. He's very 22 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: tuned to the game plan. You know, I'd say, we'll 23 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: see how it goes today early in practice of the trainer, 24 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: see's chance to get out there and get more involved 25 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: and say, you know, his ability mentally to function multiple 26 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: position sans understand what it's the game plan that you know, 27 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: he's a guy that him along with you know, door 28 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: he wouldn't hesitate if it goes on at the game 29 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: time making decision. Mike has been limited every day, right, 30 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, because he has to be listed as limited. 31 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: So if he gets to play and he gets clear, 32 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: how much has he missed this week as opposed to 33 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: a normal week where he's not in the protocol? Minimal? Minimal? 34 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: How's Daniel anything new from today or since yesterday? No, 35 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: still isn't clear for contact obviously out here moving around 36 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: with practicing today again and we'll see anythings, but still 37 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: not clear for contact definitely. We haven't really asked you. 38 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't think like, what did you see from Mike 39 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: when he did play last week? And you know what, 40 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: what can what does he have to do better to 41 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: get the offense I think is an entire offense with 42 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: keep progressing on through, you know, making sure you make 43 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: the right decisions and then make the plays in the 44 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: front of us. We gotta do a good job putting 45 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the guys in position, and then we got execute and 46 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: it comes our way. You know. I like some of 47 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: things Mike did last week. You know, there are a 48 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: lot of things he did within the game that are 49 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: encouraging and some things that we have to coach and 50 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: correct off and make sure we don't repeat certain mistakes. 51 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: But you know, Mike prepares very well. He's got experience 52 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: in this leaks. We have faith in him. So you've 53 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: been described as a conservative head coach, at least in 54 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: terms of some outside perception. Do you agree with that 55 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: or if why why not to regard conservatives just in 56 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: terms of whether it's decision making, play calling when you're 57 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: doing certain things at certain times. I think I look 58 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: at anythings situationally. So we've talked about, you know, different 59 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: factors before. You know, is that the analytics factor, is 60 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: it the gunslinger factor? What's it going to be? You 61 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: gotta bounce that out and play situation in the game. 62 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: You know, I'd say all time, sometimes people look at 63 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: you know, not being aggressive because you pump the ball. 64 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: All right, Well, sometimes you be an extra aggressive saying no, 65 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: I know that our defense going out there and stop 66 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: these guys, So I'm being aggressive. Our defense go out 67 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: there and make play and get the field position back 68 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: for the offense. It all depends on how you to 69 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: find aggressiveness. I've gone for fourth and I ain't a 70 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: problem doing that. I ain't a problem running face. We've 71 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: got him in every week. When the situation arises, I'll 72 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: go ahead and I'll pull the trigger on it. Uh. 73 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: In terms of conservative Look, we're gonna call the game 74 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: the way the flow of the game needs to be called, 75 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do things situationally that post in a 76 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: position to have success. And there's been decisions I've made 77 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: in the past, whether it was more on the aggressive side, 78 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: as people sending outside and want the concernaive side that 79 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: I you don't break down, look at what I've done 80 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: and say, hey, don't want to make that decision again 81 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: in the future. Maybe that was a little bit too 82 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: aggressive early on and we didn't really need that at 83 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: the end of the game. Maybe something you know, you 84 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: look at the matchup and where you think you are 85 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: as a team and you say, Okay, we gotta press 86 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: it a little bit more early in the game as 87 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: opposed to sit back and let the claire. But that's 88 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: independent of each opponent. Where you're at every week as 89 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: a team. In terms of, you know, any labels on 90 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: the outside, I'm really not concerned with that at all. 91 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: I want to put the position the best chance to 92 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: have success every week, and I'm gonna call the game 93 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: situations throughout and I look at everything my big picture 94 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: of perspective. How hard was it to year about da 95 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: Marius Thomas. Yeah, so I woke up this morning. Um, 96 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: so Amber texts me throughout the night. I woke up 97 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: with the text that he had passed. Um, you know 98 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: dts is obviously you take all his athletic accomplishments and 99 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: uh didn't hold a candle the kind of person he was, 100 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: just character and just quality human being. And look, I 101 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: got to coach him for a brief period of time. Um, 102 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: but I'd say the impact he had on me as 103 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: a coach and some of my approach to the game 104 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: with a lot of the players was profound. You know, 105 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: watching this guy as he led as a player. This 106 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: guy was able to be a leader to the team 107 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: as an older, experienced player, but he was on pup 108 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: at the time he was hurt. There's a good amount 109 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: of chunk of time that I was together with him 110 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: that he wouldn't even active on the field. So it's 111 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: tough as a player to have any kind of an 112 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: impact on the team when you're not out there competing 113 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: every day. But his ability of almost trans sending me 114 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: in a player and almost being a coach at times, 115 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: with the way he would share wisdom and talk through techniques, 116 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: the hours that he would sit in my office when 117 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: we talked through game plans, we talked through you know, 118 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: route technique, we talked through defensive recognition, we talked through 119 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: how he sees it on the field. Um, it was tremendous. 120 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: But but all the football stuff aside, like, none of 121 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: that holds a candle to what kind of person this 122 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: guy was. And I think everybody he interacted with, you know, 123 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: he impacted. And look, there's a lot of guys in 124 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: our building right now. There's a lot of guyshut the league. 125 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: They are affected by this. There's lot of guys are 126 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: building directly you know. Um, I'm not gonna speak for type, 127 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: but you know Tykes, a guy who was extremely extreme 128 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: closer d T extremely closely, and uh, you know it 129 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: affects his entire family. You know Casey Crater was a 130 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: teammate of his, you know they had a strong relationship. 131 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: There's no good way to take it, and uh, it 132 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: kind of makes you reflect back on how fortunate we 133 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: are for any opportunity we have every day and you 134 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: never really know, you know when it ends.
