Speaker 1: Football Giants, Brian Dable, joins us and, uh, all right,

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: you got to this point in time where you got

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: the veterans coming in a little veteran mini camp. You've

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: had the O T A S. How would you assess

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: how this has all gone for you since it's your

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: first time around. Yeah, I think we've made a lot

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: of progress from from where we started. Um. You know,

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: when you're coming into a new place and you're starting

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: out the way you want to do things, Uh, it

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: takes a lot of work. Uh, And a lot of

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: people in the organization have their have their hands in it.

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: And I think the people in our building have done

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: a fantastic job, from the coaching staff, to the scouting staff,

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: to the administrators, the staff, um have really done a

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: good job of buying into how we want to do things.

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: And then ultimately it falls on the players. And these

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: guys have been tremendous the last four months or three

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: months whatever it's been of putting in the time and

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the effort and the energy to improve each day. You know,

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: when I saw you earlier in the day, you were

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: talking about you were working on training camp scheduling. Is

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: that something that you have experience with as far as

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: you know being on other staffs where you've been included

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: in it, And how difficult is it now you've got

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: to make the final call on everything. Yeah, Well, like

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: team snack is gonna be now not that. Yeah. No,

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the thing that you have a great appreciation for is, um,

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the guys that have that you've worked for. Um, you're

44
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily in all those meetings. I think the longer

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: you're in this business, the more questions you asked, the

46
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: more you watch, the more you take notes on. But

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: when you're you know, you're having to do it yourself. Um,

48
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: it's a different story. And you know, every day I

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: think Laura Young, she's you know, my assistant, and she

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: does a fabulous job of of organizing those things and

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: keeping things on the right track so that when her

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and I sit down together, it flows a lot smoother

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: than it probably would with just me having to do it. So, um,

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of work. These these schedules. You know,

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: with the new c b A. You know it's ten

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: years old, Um, but you came into the league under

57
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: a different c b A. You got to really go

58
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: through this cloth slee to make sure that you are

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: maximizing the allotted time you have with the players on

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the field, because it's not like just roll them out

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: for two days, like we're gonna go three hours both

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: sessions and pads. So be it. It doesn't work that

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: way anymore, no question about it. And you have people

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: like Laura Young who's all over the rules along with

65
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Ed Triggs, and those two are back and forth making

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: sure everything's up to standard and code the way we

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: have to have it. And then you involve a lot

68
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: of other people. It's you know, coming up with schedules

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: and putting things together requires a I'd say an army

70
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: if you will, from sports science to nutrition, to the

71
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: equipment managers to the trainers. You know, it's kind of

72
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: give and take when you're putting things together. All right. So, um,

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: you had great response to the voluntary stuff so far

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: in the off season. You had a great turnout, which

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: I think you would expect, right. New staff comes in.

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: If I'm a player, I want to be there. Um,

77
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: how do you feel guys are picking up what years

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: trying to teach because it's different than what they've been

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: accustomed to, either here or wherever else they've come from. Yeah,

80
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: I think we've made daily strides. Uh. You know, we

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: place a high premium on I'm bringing in intelligent players.

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: I think we've done a good job with that in

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: terms of the free agents that we brought in, and

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: then the draft process that's, you know, one of our

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: number one things. So between Joe and his staff and

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: and the coaches, we really put a lot of work

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: into bringing in our type of people, which you know,

88
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: one of the things we're looking for smart players. So

89
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: from the day we started to where we're at, I

90
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: think they've done a really good job of picking up

91
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: the information and continuing to grow in that regard. Don't

92

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: everyone's talked about the quarterback situation, and obviously um with

98
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones being here. You know, when you look at

99
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: some of the things he did as a rookie in

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: twelve games, twenty four touchdowns, twelve interceptions, ran, the ball

101
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: looked like the sky was the limit. Now, for a

102
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: myriad of factors along the way, it hasn't panned out

103
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: that way. Are you have you studied a lot of

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: what he did as a rookie and try to say, hey,

105
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: here's where he plot prospered. Here's where this might fit

106
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: into what I want to do offensively. Yeah, I've watched

107
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: I've watched all his games he's played as a a Giant.

108
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: I've also watched the games that he played a duke

109
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: and some on huddle which he played at his high school.

110
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's important to get input from the

111
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: quarterback in terms of what he feels comfortable with, while

112
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: at the same time showing him some new things that

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe can help him. UM. At the end of the day,

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: you know, the offense is is obviously gonna go through

115
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: our quarterback, UM, and there's gotta be good give and

116
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: take with that between head coach, the coordinator and the quarterback.

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: That's i'd say a pretty special relationship between the three

118
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: of those guys. On the defensive side of the ball.

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: What were some of the things that really made you

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: feel like Wink Martindale was the right fit for what

121
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: a Brian Dable team needs to look like. Well, the

122
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: system is it's a tough system to coach against. When

123
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: you're a play caller on the other sideline coaching against

124
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: his defense, there's it presents a lot of challenges throughout

125
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the week. UM, a lot of things that a lot

126
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: of things that break some rules in terms of your

127
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: assignments on offense, you have to be really sound for

128
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: or maybe game plan a little bit differently for. He's

129
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: had a lot of success where he's been UM at

130
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore and then, you know, I really didn't know Wink

131
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: much just you know, you know, through being in the

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: league for a while. But you know, he did a

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: really good job at his interview. Impressive guy. UM. I

134
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: thought it was a good fit. It says a lot

135
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: about you as UM a new coach to bring in

136
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: the diverse group that you've brought in. You know, a

137
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of times guys just bring in only people that

138
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: they've crossed paths with. You haven't necessarily done that, or

139
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe if you've crossed paths, it's just been in a

140
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: smaller role. Was that part of a conscious decision that

141
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: you made to make sure that, Hey, I bring in

142
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the best people, but I don't want all yes people either. Yeah.

143
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, I started back in this league in two thousand,

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: so it's twenty two years, and then had three years

145
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: of experience in college before that, so it's really been

146
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: a quarter of a century. Um. You know, I thought

147
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: I was ready in two thousand and five to be

148
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: a head coach. Uh, And that's okay, I just realized

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't. Um. And the longer you're in this league

150
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: and the more relationships you develop with people that have

151
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: been in those positions, I think, if you're smart, and

152
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: that's the spot that you want to get to, you

153
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: ask a lot of questions, Um, you know, why do

154
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: you think you out? You know, I've had a bunch

155
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: of friends that have been head coaches that you know,

156
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: have been let go, and you you wait for a

157
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: few months, and you know, off of your condolences because

158
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: you never want to see that happen to anybody in

159
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: their family. Then try to get on the horn with

160
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: them as quick as you can and ask them, Hey,

161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that you know after

162
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: you had three or four months or even six seven

163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: months after that, you know as you take a step back,

164
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: that you wish you did differently, Um, where are some

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: of the things that you thought helped you? So you know,

166
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: I have a big library of those conversations that I've

167
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: had with with numerous people. And one of the things

168
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: that was a recurrent theme with with most of the

169
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: guys that I spoke with because I wish I took

170
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: more time to hire my staff. So you know, that

171
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: just led me to I'm gonna take my time. You know,

172
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: things happened quickly at the end of the year, when

173
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: when these things get filled and you're worried about losing,

174
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: I have a good candidate here, And I said, you

175
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna take the advice of some of

176
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: the people that I've worked for, that I known that

177
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: has coached a long time in the league, UM, and

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: just take my time, and I include It was really

179
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: important to me to include the people that were hired

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: or that we retained to be part of the process,

181
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: because I think that the more people you have listening

182
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: and asking questions, you can kind of self check one another. UM.

183
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: And I might have listened to a person that we

184
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: interviewed and been like, I'm not really sure, and there

185
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: might be ten other people in the room going telling

186
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: you this is the person right here, and it just

187
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: offers a good checks and balances. Are you excited for

188
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: I know you have a lot of eyes to dot

189
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: and tease to cross until we get there, but are

190
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: you excited for camp to get here? Just so you

191
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: could start to get a gauge on where we really

192
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: are and with sort of the clock ticking two preseason

193
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: game number one, and how do we function as a

194
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: new staff as far as his game operations and all

195
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: that other. Sure, Uh, those are you know the last

196
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: I'd say week and a half. Those are things that

197
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: that I've been doing. Um, whether it's schedules or thinking

198
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: about things like you just asked me. Um, we have

199
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: four days here left until we get a little bit

200
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: of a break, and I'm usually what happens is, you

201
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: know you need this break after you've been going. It

202
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like we've had an offseason. You know, I

203
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: left Buffalo and came here, and um, you need a

204
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,239
Speaker 1: little bit of downtime. Go watch my son play baseball

205
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: and my daughter do stuff, and taking my daughter on

206
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: a trip down south. Too much of SEC schools and

207
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: she's gonna be interested in going to in a year.

208
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: So you know that's after about that week is over,

209
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: even though we have another few weeks off, I'll be

210
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: I'll be right back into that mode of all right,

211
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: wheels will start spending to training camp. We gotta see

212
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: this guy. I want to take a look at it.

213
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you ask Kafko right now or wink.

214
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean I've sent texts all different times the things

215
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: that I remember, Hey, I want to get a look

216
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: at this. Make sure you got that plaint whatever it

217
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: may be. Um, So I need about a week and

218
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: then I'll be thinking about roster and training camp and

219
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: evaluations and first preseason games and how much we're gonna

220
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: play the guys and you know, all the good stuff. Yeah,

221
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: that's all the good stuff, right, I mean the football stuff,

222
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, do you find

223
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: that as the head coach, because you hear a lot

224
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: of guys talking about this. Once they've become the head coach,

225
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: you almost get a little bit further removed from the

226
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: football that you've grown up as a coach being involved in,

227
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: where you're managing a lot of stuff and you're you're

228
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of stuff that you never had

229
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: to deal with. That's that's something that came up in

230
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: a lot of those conversations as well with the people

231
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: that um you know I've spoken to. I try to

232
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: I try to stay involved as much as I can

233
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: without getting in a way. Uh so listening to you know,

234
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: weeks meeting or going through an install with kafkaer sitting

235
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: in Tea Max Special Teams. Um, you know that's what

236
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: you love doing, is coaching football. You're you're in a

237
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: different role. I think it's important to let guys do

238
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: their job that you hired, Um, but also be there

239
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: and give your input because that's why you're in this seat.

240
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: And um, that's been a lot of fun. But you

241
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,119
Speaker 1: know you're not You're not you know, always in those meetings,

242
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Hey what about this scheme or this game. That's why

243
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: it might be a random text to Kafka at ten

244
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: thirty about you know a certain thing that I want

252
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: important for you to spend time in the half it

253
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: you're getting to know other people in the organization that

254
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: don't really touch football. I mean, it's one thing to

255
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: be in there with video guys or equipment or whatever.

256
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: You seem to really a man of conscious effort to

257
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: make sure that you get to touch and visit with

258
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: and get to know everybody. I think it's just how

259
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I was raised. You know, I got a lot of

260
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: respect for just people in general, and when there's someone

261
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: in the building that works in a different department that

262
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: that I'm working in. But those people put in a

263
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: lot of time and effort and energy to help the

264
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: organization be as good as they can, and they're really

265
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: important to the success of the organization. So I think

266
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: having respect for everyone in the building is really critical, um,

267
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: a critical part of being a good leader. Uh. I

268
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: like hanging out, you know, meeting new people. UM kind

269
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: of like a break from schedules an organization and things

270
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: like that, and you just go, you know, let your

271
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: hair down if you will, no pun intended, and you know,

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: get to meet some people and you know, tell them

273
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: that you appreciate their work and their effort that they're

274
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: doing because it is important. I think you you put

275
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: time into relationships, those paid dividends. Finally, UM, I know

276
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: you've gotten into the rangers. You know, in that whole situation.

277
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about your hockey background, because you're

278
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: you're not just coming to New York and you're the

279
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: head coach of the Giants. I'm gonna get really good

280
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: seats and they're gonna put me on the screen at

281
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the garden. I'm there to be seen. You're actually a

282
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: hockey fan. Played it? Yeah, I played it for twelve

283
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: thirteen years. UM, I love the sports. Still still love it. Um.

284
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, one of my sons played it. The four

285
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: year old will probably be playing it here pretty soon. UM.

286
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: Fast paced game. And then you know, once playoff hockey hits,

287
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: there's just an unbelievable atmosphere with great passionate fan base here.

288
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: It's it's just really cool to be will be part

289
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: of the city when you know, this time of year

290
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: when this is going on. Um. And they've been a

291
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: really fun team to watch. UM. A lot of heart,

292
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot of hustle. I'd say, a lot of different

293
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: players on the team that seems to me feel different roles.

294
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, some really skillful, some bigger, tougher guys, some veterans,

295
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: some young guys. Uh, it's pretty cool. What coach a

296
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: lot and that team has done, you know, mentioning those

297
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: guys together, and I could see the coaching I never wanders, right, yea,

298
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: even though it's even though you're not coaching him, you're

299
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: kind of looking at it like, hey, what does this

300
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: apply to what I'm doing? Yeah, yeah, you know, you

301
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: exactly right. You know. I think you can learn from

302
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot of different um people and coaches and teams,

303
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: and that you should. Uh, this is a cool learning

304
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: experience of watching this team. But it's it's again, it's neat.

305
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: You look at you know, your receiver group, all right,

306
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: there's Miller, bigger body, guy, paneras skillful quick you know,

307
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,680
