Yeah, 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: I don't Can you like how I like? 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: Hey, I like the shirt? 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: By the way, do you like that? Do you like that? 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Part of. 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: It is it is part of exactly. I appreciate the 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 3: plug and y'all can get those by the way for 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: you know, holiday stock and stuff or whatever it may be, 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: especially if you're part of the city. Coach speaking of 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: defense once again, the defense looked good. But I wanted 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 3: to start off by asking how significant of a win 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 3: was this against Rutgers. Many will sit there and frown 24 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: and turn their faces up to you winning each game, 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: that would follow all of the criticism. But for those 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: who really pay attention to what's going on and knew 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: how much of a trap game Rutgers could have been. 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 3: For it, for this team, how big was it from 29 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: your perspective? 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: Well? 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Big for a couple of reasons. Number one, I think 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: they're doing a nice job and you know they're going 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: to go to a bowl game this year. They've played 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: everybody tough. You look at everybody on their schedule, they 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: played tough and as you know, UH as well, if 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: not better than me after losses around here, this. 37 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: This this can be a tough place. 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: And getting everybody in the Lash building to bounce back 39 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: and bounce back quickly, coaches, players, staff, all of us. 40 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: UH is really important and it's it and it's harder 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: uh than I think people realize it really is. So 42 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: it was a It was a good win for us. 43 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: Our guys played well. I was very impressed with what 44 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: Jaywan Seider and ty Howe did. We had one missed assignment, 45 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: We met our goal on third down. We met our 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: goal in explosive plays which we really hadn't done that 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: all year long. The combination of those things, uh special teams, 48 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: I think really the second half of the year is 49 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: really played well led by our specialists punter, kickers, snapper, 50 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: those guys have been great. And and then defensively we've 51 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: just been really consistent. Manny and the defensive staff and 52 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: the players have really done a good job of holding 53 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: the standard. 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: You've had some really really fine coaches taken away, have 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 3: gone away whatever the way is, and that's largely in 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: part because of success and structure. If people understand when 57 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: you take an assistant, a coordinator and you make them 58 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: a head coach, that that is a reflection on the 59 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 3: coach and tree that they come from, because it's being 60 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: a CEO more so than being the one that does 61 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: all of the x'es and o's. A lot of people 62 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: won't understand that a lot of people will, but you 63 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: have taught some fine men to be at that level 64 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: of being head coaches. They're coming for Manny, I mean, 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: I got it. You gotta believe that that they're coming 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: for Manny. How does that how for you? How does 67 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: that work to be able to because it's one thing 68 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: we talk about the pressures are trying to keep the 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: players now just because of the transfer portal, But when 70 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: you have quality coaches and they develop and they show 71 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: and listen, Man, he's been a head coach before, but 72 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: I mean he's doing something that is tremendous at this school. 73 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: One of the more legendary defenses that I've seen. How 74 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: does that work for you? Like, how how do you 75 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: handle when you have staff that is super successful in 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: and maybe sought after when the seasons come to an end. 77 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: Well, I think, first of all, embrace that. That's part 78 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: of it, right, That's just part of it. And you know, 79 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do is trying to put all 80 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: these guys in a position to achieve their dreams. That's 81 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: the players and the staff. And to me, the model 82 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: is the Brent Prime model. Right. Brent stayed here, turned 83 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: down a number of head coaching opportunities, waiting for the 84 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: right one, and I think we would both agree Virginia 85 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: Tech is not only a good job, but a damn 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: good first job to be a head coach. And I 87 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: think if you're at a place like Penn State as 88 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: a coordinator, making a good living, living in a good town. 89 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: With an opportunity to win at the highest level. 90 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: It should allow you to sit back and be selective 91 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: so that when you take the job, it's the right one. 92 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: So I think that's that's the approach that I think 93 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: is important. 94 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: But I also think, you know, when. 95 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: You've had guys that have left to go be head 96 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: coaches in the SEC or head coaches in the ACC, 97 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: I do think it is a It is a sign 98 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: of respect to the program in general, and I think 99 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: it's a positive from that standpoint. And then fortunately on 100 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, we've been able to 101 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: make some really good hires that not only have they 102 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: maybe not dipped off, they even stepped up. I thought 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: Bob Shoot did a phenomenal job here, but Brent Prye, 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: I think took it to another level. 105 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 2: You know, Brent Prye Leaves does a great job here. 106 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: You know, we hire many Diaz and I think Manny 107 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: Diaz takes it to another level. So part of that 108 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: is being prepared for when it happens, and part of 109 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: that is making sure that they leave for the right job. 110 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: But I also think, you know what, we just have 111 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: to be careful as a fan base and as media 112 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: as well. You know, are the programs that we're competing 113 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: with talking like it's a foregone conclusion that their high 114 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: level coordinators are are gonna leave. You know, we got 115 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: to create an environment here where guys want to stay, 116 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: because you could make some arguments now in college football 117 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: to be a high paid, successful coordinator and not have 118 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: to deal with the headaches of being ahead coach. There's 119 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: some value in that too. 120 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely there is, I'm certain, and that's I think that's 121 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: pretty sensible. So moving into this last week against Michigan State, 122 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 3: they're they're moving it out of Michigan State, They're playing 123 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: it in Detroit. I don't I don't know. It seems 124 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: like they're trying to make it into a big game 125 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: or is that based off of like a neutral site 126 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: set up deal? What? 127 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: What? 128 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: What went into them moving the game from East Lanting. 129 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: So it really just came down like most things come down. 130 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: It came down the TV and they wanted us to 131 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: play a Friday night game during Thanksgiving weekend. And the 132 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: way the Big Ten rules are set up, you can't 133 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: play night games after a certain point of this season 134 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: unless both coaches in both administrations agree to do it. 135 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: So for US, we'll say, Okay, we'll do it. We'll 136 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: play on Friday night. But it's gonna have to be somewhere, 137 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: you know, like Detroit, like the Detroit Lions facility where 138 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: it's indoor and. 139 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 2: Uh, it makes sense. 140 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: And based on that, I think the Conference had a 141 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: conversation with with Michigan State. They agreed with it, uh, 142 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: and it moved forward from there. But you know, it 143 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: was gonna be a normal game in East Lansing unless 144 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: the Conference and Michigan State could agree, you know, to 145 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: really the I don't want I don't want to use 146 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: the wrong Yeah. Yeah, the terms of it. That's probably 147 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: the best way. Yeah. 148 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: Man, Well, I think it's super brilliant because East Lansing 149 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 3: as hard as hell to go into. Man, I ain't 150 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 3: never liked going into East Lansing. I don't know, it's 151 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: just it's a weird place to play. But you guys 152 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: get almost like a neutral site and you're indoors that that. 153 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: I think that plays both as well. What do you 154 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: look at going into the Michigan Michigan State game and 155 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: what they're bringing to the table. I mean, everybody's going 156 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 3: to bring their best foot and put it forward playing 157 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 3: against Penn State. How do you see Michigan State approaching 158 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: this game being in the last game of the season, 159 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: season finale for them, I don't They're not Bowl eligible. 160 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: I don't believe so, so I don't follow them too closely. 161 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, but a couple of the fine game. 162 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think it's going to be a home 163 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: game for them. 164 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's an hour and a half you know, 165 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: from campus for them. Obviously, they have a huge alumni 166 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: base in the Detroit area, so it's still going to 167 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: be a home game for them. But there's other dynamics 168 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: you know that that play here. You know, they're they're 169 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of a coaching change. Uh, there's coaches 170 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: that are coaching, you know, for their professional careers. 171 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: There is the fact that they're. 172 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: Not eligible for a bowl game, so they have nothing 173 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: to lose in this game. So you could see them 174 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: taking on more risk, a surprise on side to start 175 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: the game, fake punts, double passes, flea flickers, extra aggressive 176 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: defense covers zero, constantly bringing pressures like crazy. 177 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: You know, they really have nothing to lose. 178 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: And we got to prepare and plan for them to 179 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: approach the game that way. 180 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 3: Mm hm. That's sometimes I mean, man, they say, wounded dog, 181 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: worst one to deal with. So, and going into this game, 182 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: Penn State is Bowl eligible, how do you motivate the guys? 183 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: Listen? 184 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: As a former player, I knew once we weren't playing 185 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: for a national title, it took a lot to get 186 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: the mental mind state to practic this hard, to prepare hard, 187 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: to stay focused and to stay doubt in. What did 188 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 3: you guys do this week to to kind of keep 189 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 3: that focus? 190 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: Well, I think the way you just described it from 191 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: a player's perspective, I think is important because again, these 192 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: are all the things that we were battling last week, 193 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: the fans, the media, the player's perception of where we're at, 194 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: the coaches. 195 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 2: All of it. 196 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: But for us, I do think there's something to winning 197 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: ten games in the regular season. 198 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: That's something to be proud of. Ye, that's something that 199 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: we're very proud of. 200 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. And then and then to be able to get. 201 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: To a end coach we never got to ten, Yes. 202 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: And then to be able to get to a bowl 203 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: game and win eleven. 204 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: You know. But I think it's interesting when you make 205 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: statements like that, because I don't think that's the perception 206 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: out there when you make the statement that in your 207 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: career you're at Penn State, you never beat Michigan. When 208 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: you make the statement that you never won ten games, 209 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: and there's people that take that for granted and don't 210 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: realize how hard that is. So to be able to 211 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: get this win, be want to oh, win ten games 212 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: with an opportunity to win eleven, which is even harder 213 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: to do now because back in your day, you know, 214 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: you didn't have the transfer portal, you didn't have players 215 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: opting out of bowl games, you didn't have any of that. 216 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: There's more things to manage that make it more challenging. 217 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. 218 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 3: My last question, this is the hardest one you're gonna get, Coach. 219 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: What's what's the best turkey dish or best best Thanksgiving 220 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: dish that happens in your house. 221 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you. I don't know if you 222 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: saw my press conference this week, So after I get 223 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: done answering your question, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you 224 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: my three questions.
