1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Good afternoon everyone. To the man of the hour, Liam

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: and his sons right there, Jackson Callahan, his dad, Tim,

3
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: mother in law, Edna, it's my pleasure to welcome you

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: all to Jacksonville, Florida, and to everyone watching online, thank

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: you for joining. We're here today because we're coming off

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: of very disappointing season. Our fans, our partners deserve better,

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: much better, and that's why three weeks ago I announced

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: that we would search for a new head coach. When

9
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: we interviewed ten remarkable candidates for the positions, two things

10
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: became clear to me. Number One, that this wasn't a

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: moment of regret for the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was a

12
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: moment of progress, optimism, and confidence that we will achieve

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: the ultimate goal as long as we have the right man.

14
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: And number two, that man was Liam Cohen. Why Liam's

15
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: outstanding body of work speaks for itself. Quarterback development is

16
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: the bedrock of modern NFL, and Liam has delivered that

17
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: wherever he's coached. His outstanding reputation preceded our first interview

18
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: on video, and everything we heard about him from top

19
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: people throughout football, solicited and otherwise was confirmed. When we

20
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: met Liam here last week. Liam was bright, prepared, ambitious us,

21
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and he inspired us. I knew then that Liam was

22
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: our man, and we got our man. So with that,

23
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: it's my privilege to introduce to you the head coach

24
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Liam Kohn.

25
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sead.

26
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: As I said last week, this is a moment of

27
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: a lifetime. I'm grateful for your confidence in me. I

28
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: also appreciate that you're saying that you inspire that I

29
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: inspire you because you do the same to me.

30
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: It's amazing to hear.

31
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: I want to thank people along this way in terms

32
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 3: of the process to get here, Tony Kahan, Tony Boselli,

33
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: Mark Lamping, and Ethan Waugh. I genuinely thank you for

34
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: your honesty and trust throughout this process. I owe a

35
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: great debt of thanks to a lot of the coaches

36
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: that I've gone through the process with and given me

37
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: opportunities to.

38
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: Coach because that's what I love to do.

39
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles in the Tampa organization, Sean McVay and the Rams,

40
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: Mark Stoops at Kentucky, Mark Whipple at UMass, my alma mater,

41
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: Phil Estis at Brown, and Don Brown, who is my coach,

42
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: as a player and a mentor to me in this profession.

43
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: They were all great football minds, but one thing they

44
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: had in common was leadership. And that's what this is

45
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: all about. It takes complimentary football at.

46
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: All three phases to be great.

47
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: Offense, defense, and special teams. How do we want to

48
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: play the game and that's fast, fundamentally sound, attacking, situational masters,

49
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: and tough both mentally and physically. You see players in

50
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: the room right here, Guys that I've had conversations with already.

51
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: It will always be about you, always. It is players

52
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: over plays. How do we make this as much about

53
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: the players and making this about bringing out the best

54
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: in you? That's what this is about. Jacksonville, the community.

55
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Do all.

56
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: How do we do this together? This has to be collaborative.

57
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: I want it to be as collaborative as possible for

58
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: us to go to the next level, take the next step,

59
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: and for us to have found a home for the

60
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: first time in a long time that we can maybe

61
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: plant some roots and truly being a community and a

62
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: family that we love and trust. Onto the theme of family,

63
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: you're told at.

64
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: A young age when you meet the one.

65
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: And what that does for your life and I met

66
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: my one five years ago. Ashley, you have made me

67
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: a better person every single day and I would not

68
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: be here without you. You make me better, You make

69
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: us better. You will make Jacksonville better. I love you.

Speaker 4: I mean, here we go.

72
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: What an opportunity for them to see these guys. That's

73
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: who I want them to see. That's who I want

74
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: them to be around. That's where I was in locker rooms,

75
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: on the field with those guys from all different walks

76
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: of life, all different backgrounds, all with the same goal.

77
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,279

00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,919

81
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: And to my dad, my best friend. I was lucky

00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, and we're ready to get to work.

97
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: Thank you.

98
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, gentlemen. Now we're going to open

99
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 5: up the Florida questions from the media. We have microphones

100
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: flanking both sides of the room, and we just asked

101
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: that you identify yourselves and your media outlet before asking

102
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: the question. And if you could be direct, you know,

103
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: clear of who you're directing the question too, that would

104
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 5: be helpful too. So why don't we begin. Who's got

105
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: the first question today?

106
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: Gene?

107
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 6: This is for Liam. Congratulations though, welcome to Jacksonville. Before

108
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 6: I get to forward, thinking about your opportunity here, could

109
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 6: you just briefly go over last week a lot of

110
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 6: reports that you were going to stay in Tampa for

111
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: a substantial pay raise, then you changed your mind decided

112
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 6: to interview here. Could you talk a little bit about

113
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 6: what made you change your mind and was there any

114
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 6: in any way any misgivings in your mind about changing

115
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: your mind, not about pursuing ahead coaching opportunity.

116
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: Thank you, Geene.

117
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: Look, the opportunity to coach in Tampa was was a

118
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: phenomenal one to get my feet wet in the NFL

119
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: as the offensive coordinator, and I thank them so much

120
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: for that opportunity. As you continue to do more research

121
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: and gaining more information as you go, it started to become,

122
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: you know, more clear with every hour that this was

123
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: an opportunity that you just can't pass up for so

124
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: many different reasons, and you ultimately want to do truly

125
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: what's best for you and your family, and that's what

126
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: this came down to. I will always love and remember

127
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: those guys in Tampa, my players, those guys, love them

128
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: to death. But this is an opportunity to also go

129
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: and do it with some new guys, right, and to

130
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: go reach and touch people, because that's what coaching and

131
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: teaching is and that's what this opportunity is all about.

132
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: And extremely thankful for that.

133
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: But head forward, eyes up, and we're moving forward.

134
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: Just just to be clear, was that did this have

135
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 6: anything to do with the change in the front office structure.

136
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: This was completely about an opportunity to work for an

137
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: owner and a group of people with a group of

138
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: players that needed some help. And that's what coaching is, right,

139
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: That's what coaching is all about, is trying to go

140
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: help people and be around people.

141
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: So no, that was not that was not the factor.

142
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 6: Okay with okay, beyond beyond the opportunity to develop a

143
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 6: quarterback like Trevor. What is it most that excites you

144
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 6: about this opportunity?

145
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Right?

146
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: You see this place, Look at this right now, right,

147
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: look at this the community, what we're doing in the future,

148
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: the opportunity to be a part of something different. Right,

149
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, this is different.

150
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

151
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: That's that's exciting for me and for my family to

152
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: truly be a part of something different, to go impact

153
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: and influence football players and people and staff.

154
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: That's what this is all about.

155
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: It's about trying to be a part of change and

156
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: improvement and go try to go do something different and win. Right,

157
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: Winning cures a lot. Winning cures a lot, and that's

158
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: the goal.

159
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: Okay, We're gonna go over here on the right.

160
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 7: Rick bolue Blase, Well I'm welcome to Duval Rick Blue

161
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 7: with nine A two point five FM and ten ten XL.

162
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 7: Been a lot of speculation, but we haven't heard it

163
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 7: from you. You will be calling offensive plays.

164
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,479
Speaker 2: Yes, Rick, absolutely, we'll be calling football plays.

165
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 7: How important is it for stability?

166
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: You know, stability?

167
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 7: Now with Trevor, this will be the fourth different play

168
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: caller as he gets ready for his fifth year, with

169
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 7: just a perfect scenario for you, as far as you

170
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 7: know what you've seen so far in his four years

171
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,359
Speaker 7: and where you believe.

172
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: You can take him.

173
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: I was telling Trevor this the other day that I've

174
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: watched him, you know, live as a freshman in high school.

175
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 3: It was Beauford High School against Carrol Wood Cartersville. Excuse me, sorry,

176
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: I was in the South George. I was in Georgia. Man,

177
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: that's all I knew. And I was seeing this freshman

178
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 3: in high school play the position at a high level,

179
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: standing tall, making throws, delivering, and I walked out of

180
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: there like, man.

181
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: This guy's this is different. I had no idea who

182
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: he was.

183
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: And then you fast forward to now right, how do

184
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: we make Trevor Lawrence in this offense as dynamic and

185
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: explosive as we can be. Right, we've got to build

186
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: it around him as well. Right, We've got to make

187
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 3: every part of this about improvement, and he will be

188
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: a part of that process.

189
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: He's earned that, right.

190
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: I cannot respect his toughness and mentality and work ethic

191
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 3: more than I do already from Afar and this will

192
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: all be about Trevor right now.

193
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 8: Jamal Saint Cyre News for Jacks, Mister conness is for you,

194
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 8: what was this search process like and what was it

195
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 8: about Liam that convinced you that he was the right

196
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 8: person for this job.

197
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: Well, I think we, you know, interviewed ten potential candidates,

198
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: and I think with the lack of success we've had here,

199
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: certainly over the last year and a half, you know,

200
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: it's a chance for reflection from me. I think what

201
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: was the fundamental thing that we need to address? And

202
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: the number one thing obviously is the quarterback position and

203
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: our commitment to Trevor.

204
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: I think it's.

205
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: Well known and I you know, we believe in him.

206
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,119
Speaker 1: So it started with that and that was the fundamental

207
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: question really to all the candidates, how would they do it?

208
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: And after we got done with that, it was very

209
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: evident to me that Liam was the guy.

210
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: And you know, I never met Liam.

211
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Till the process started, but I had heard about him

212
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: quite a bit over the last year from really, as

213
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: I said, solicited and un solicited. NFL has several events

214
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: and you know I've been to him. The topic comes

215
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: up and his name was prominently mentioned. So I really

216
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that he was.

217
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Part of the ten.

218
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: And as we went through the process, I mean it was,

219
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely compelling.

220
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: He's the right guy for us.

221
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 8: And can you take us through how everything kind of

222
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 8: came together last week because it seems like it may

223
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 8: have been a bit of a rollwind a couple of days.

224
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: Well, it's very quick. He's our guy, and you know

225
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: we got him, simple as that.

226
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 5: Okay, let's go Demetrius if we could kid him Mike.

227
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 9: Dimitrius Harvey with the Flourida Times Union of Liam. Just

228
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 9: you were able to be here in Jacksonville during training camp,

229
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 9: during joint practices, I'm curious what you were able to

230
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 9: learn about maybe the team a little bit, and then

231
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 9: obviously the facility and all that.

232
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: Great question to Metris. That was a huge opportunity for

233
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: me to see this. I walked through these halls and

234
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: oh my, this place is awesome, and you start to

235
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: see it.

236
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: And then during the course of practice those few days,

237
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: you're obviously.

238
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: Competing against the defense on.

239
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: One side of the field, and I kept hearing oohs

240
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: and ahs on the other side, and you start to

241
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: you go back and wash the tape and you see

242
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: them throwing the football and BTJ going down the field

243
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: and these guys making plays, and that was cool to see.

244
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: I got an opportunity to talk to Josh heinz Allen

245
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: that day.

246
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: I got an opportunity to talk to Luke Fortner that day,

247
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: Guys that I had had a you know, relationship with,

248
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: if you will. Those were all little parts of this

249
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: right where you got you have an opportunity to look

250
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: back and say, man, that thing's got a shot, right,

251
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: and that that gets you excited. And I think that

252
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: that was the beginning, as you mentioned, of really looking

253
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: at this as the opportunity that it became.

254
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 9: I'm curious to you sort of touched on it, But

255
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 9: just from what you've seen from Afar about Trevor and

256
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 9: the rest of the team, what do you sort of

257
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 9: make of it? You know, heading into this sort of

258
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 9: new chapter.

259
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this to the guys, this isn't a four

260
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: win team.

261
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: Yes, that is the that is the the record, but

262
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: this is not a four win team.

263
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: Okay, how do we go.

264
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: From winning games to not losing them? I think that

265
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: that's something we've got to address and that is got

266
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: to be in our veins, our in our DNA. The

267
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: culture of winning. I've learned it from the Los Angeles

268
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: Rams and from a ton of other great organizations on

269
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: how to go win football games, and.

270
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: So I think that that's something that it has.

271
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: We have to start as a team as a group

272
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: and show how we're going to go do it straight ahead.

273
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 10: Joe with amrprom Wsad and Savannah. I have a question

274
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 10: for Liam and for the owner. First, Liam, you can

275
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 10: start working with with your team on April seventh, because

276
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 10: you're a new head coach. What are you hoping to

277
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,119
Speaker 10: gain in that two week process.

278
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

279
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: Culture first and foremost, like, what is the culture that

280
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: we want to establish, the direction in which we're going

281
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 3: to go and how we're going to get there, that's

282
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: first and foremost. After we start to establish the standard

283
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: and how we want to do things, then we'll get

284
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: into the fundamentals and techniques in which we want to

285
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: participate and play the game at Then you start to

286
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: get into the scheme while continuing to educate and address

287
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: the culture, the culture, the standards. And that's where it's

288
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: going to all start, is when these guys get in

289
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 3: the building, and it'll probably start before that with the

290
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 3: staff building and trying to get this thing within the

291
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: building itself.

292
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 10: Me and then Mark, oh ahead of course, Oh sorry, owner,

293
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 10: what can you give us a quick update on the

294
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 10: timeline for the GM search and like, is there a date,

295
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 10: like an end all date, because you want to prepare

296
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 10: for the NFL draft to be prepared.

297
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: I think that date is February twenty eighth. I believe

298
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: that's the NFL mandated. I think our priority is obviously

299
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: to get Liam settled in and you know, have him

300
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: build his staff and then you know, start the search.

301
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: But you know, we're hoping to be done by that date.

302
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, Hi, Liam, nice to meet you. Me, Obrian Tenon

303
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 11: xcel A lots of good How are you? A lot's

304
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 11: been made about going back and forth between college and

305
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 11: the pros. I know you've spoken about it before. How

306
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 11: you feel play calling, getting those reps. That was what

307
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 11: was paramount. That's why you moved back and forth. If

308
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 11: you could just describe the last four or five years

309
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 11: going back and forth and perhaps how strategically, maybe even

310
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 11: this has set you up for this opportunity.

311
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: Here today, that's a great question.

312
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: The foundation of my career started in college and locker

313
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: rooms in Maine and Brown and UMass, places that, let's

314
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: be honest, don't have a ton of resources. So you

315
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: learn kind of your DNA as a coach in some

316
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: of those places, right, And then in the last few years,

317
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: you get an opportunity to go coach in the National

318
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: Football League, which has been the dream. Then you make

319
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 3: a decision that ultimately was a little dicey at the time,

320
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: I'll be honest. You go back to a place where

321
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 3: you just had success and had a great opportunity to

322
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: be at, but that was all done to go call

323
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: plays again, right, And that was the experience that I

324
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: kind of missed that year in LA. Knew why I

325
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 3: was going to take that job, but ultimately probably underestimated

326
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 3: some of the leadership that goes with calling plays and

327
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: truly running the show on offense. Things have changed in

328
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: the landscape of college football, right, that's we all know that.

329
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: And when you start to have a young family, things change,

330
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: your priorities change, and the National Football League does provide

331
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: a little bit more of an opportunity to be a

332
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 3: father and a h been and a friend. And that's

333
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: kind of why we've done the back and forth for

334
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: the last few years. But I'll be in the NFL

335
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 3: hopefully for a while.

336
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 11: And one more just from me, Shot, at what point

337
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 11: during the search did it become a parent that there

338
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 11: needed to be a parting of ways with Trent and

339
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 11: the organization?

340
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: Well, you know, after the ten video interviews were done

341
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: and we were ready for that was a transition, transition

342
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: point for me to reflect and what was the right

343
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: thing for the organization. And that's when I decided that

344
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: it was time for a change.

345
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 12: Okay, Mark, along with ap Shot, you were so matter

346
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 12: of fact saying he's our guy and we got our guy.

347
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 12: But like, there had to be some work on your end.

348
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 12: That last Wednesday, Trent's out and I assume you got

349
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 12: on the phone with Liam and convinced him to change

350
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 12: his mind and get back to Jacksonville and let's get

351
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 12: this done.

352
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, Mark, one thing that was different about this

353
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: search that I was directly involved with the candidates and

354
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: their representatives. Okay, so you know I was involved with

355
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: all of them specifically.

356
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 12: How did you How did you get that he was

357
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 12: going back to Tampa? How did you get him on

358
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 12: Wednesday night on the phone to change money at bactor Thursday?

359
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: Does say a lot about your conviction.

360
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: That he was never I mean I believe that, Yes,

361
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I believe he's the right person. And as I said earlier,

362
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean I'd heard a lot about him and then

363
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: to get to meet him on video and why this

364
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: I felt was just a great fit the Jaguars and

365
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Liam modern football and uh so you know that's how

366
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: things went.

367
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 13: Dan, Let's go ahead, please, Dan Hickin tend to XL

368
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 13: and CBS. Mister conn Liam, Welcome to Jacksonville. Shot. I'll

369
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 13: start with you as you formed this front office, reports

370
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 13: that you used Tony Boselli helped you out, and the

371
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 13: coaches searched with you in the forefront. Is there a

372
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 13: role for Tony going forward in the front office or no?

373
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Well, you know we are going to have a position

374
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: and you know we're checking with the league what the

375
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: rules are when we have to follow and you know,

376
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: and then we'll take it from there.

377
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 13: Okay, and Liam, real quick, welcome to Jacksonville. Just want

378
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 13: to know how you were able to take a ground

379
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 13: game that struggled in Tampa eighty yards a game, eighty

380
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 13: eight yards a game and make it one of the

381
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 13: best in the NFL in one year.

382
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I think those guys at first

383
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 3: started with their willingness and openness and a little bit

384
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: of humility to not want to be at the at

385
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: the bottom anymore.

386
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: That was the reality right last two years.

387
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: The previous two years, those guys they wanted more from themselves.

388
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: They wanted a.

389
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: Different respect level around their peers than around the NFL.

390
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 3: And so all we did was come in with the

391
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: mindset of it takes all eleven, all eleven to get

392
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: better in the run game, Mike Evans Hall of Famer,

393
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: digging out support on the front side of runs, selflessness,

394
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 3: quarterback being involved, everybody being involved. And you started to

395
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: show them examples of that. Whether it's in La Minnesota,

396
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: whatever it is Green Bay, a ton of different places

397
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: run a similar system and have had similar success running

398
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: the football, which now also helps the past game. The

399
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: defense the special teams, and so I think the buy

400
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: in was pretty quick, but those guys knew it had

401
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: to happen.

402
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 14: Rock please Mike Rocco with ESPN, Liam who has sort

403
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 14: of been the people that have really influenced you in

404
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 14: the way you call plays, the way you kind of

405
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 14: design your offense, and you know obviously work with Sean McVay.

406
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 14: So would you consider yourself part of the Sean McVay tree.

407
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: Definitely. Yeah.

408
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: I think it starts off with him my dad right

409
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 3: here in terms of the mindset. He was a play call,

410
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: an offense, offensive designer, you know, and he always instilled

411
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: the player's overplays mentality. And then you go to Brown

412
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: with Phil Estes to you mess with Mark Whipple and

413
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: then continue to go and then yeah, I think getting

414
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: to the rams in with Sean that was where I

415
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: learned truly the game. I think in a lot of ways, right,

416
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 3: I got my if you will, PhD in coaching and

417
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: learned at a different level to be around him, the

418
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell's, the Zach Taylor's, those guys, the Matt Lafleurs,

419
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: to be around them to see how they operated. This

420
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 3: is the way I would like to do things. You're

421
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: always going to have your own twist on it, but

422
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 3: I'm proud to say I'm in the Sean mcvatrie.

423
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: Thanks for your patience, Brent.

424
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 15: Brent Martineau from CBS forty seven, Fox thirty Action Sports

425
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 15: Shock Shot. Just begin with you. Do you regret three

426
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 15: weeks ago not hitting the reset button with front office

427
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 15: and coach? And over these last three weeks? Have you

428
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 15: learned something different in this process maybe than previous processes.

429
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, my goal is to do the right thing

430
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: for the team, and you know I believe I'm doing that.

431
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 15: Have you learned anything in this process?

432
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 2: Every day is learning.

433
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: Okay.

434
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: If you're not learning, you're dying.

435
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: So life for me is about continuous improvement and continuous learning. Okay,

436
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot today. Okay, me too. Okay, Liam welcome, Okay,

437
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: so let's it.

438
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: Please throw some easy questions like that.

439
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 15: Okay, Liam, welcome to Jacksonville. How much does what is

440
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 15: a head factor into how you viewed this? Because obviously

441
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 15: I have this year, but it's a limited capacity inside

442
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 15: the stadium in twenty six, no home games in twenty seven,

443
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 15: new stadium in twenty eight? Was that a part of

444
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 15: the equation for you when you're looking at this job.

445
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: I've actually looked at that as an exciting part of

446
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: this honestly. You know, my wife been in the military,

447
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: born in the Philippines, moved all over her childhood. I've

448
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 3: moved around a lot throughout this process and throughout my

449
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: career here, so we're kind of used to that. Honestly,

450
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: we embrace that and to try to bring home wins

451
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: to Jacksonville. That is important to protect our home turf.

452
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 3: It's going to be a little bit different, it's going

453
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 3: to be a little complicated over the next few year years.

454
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: But if we don't embrace that, then we have no shot,

455
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: right if we can go start to build something that

456
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: people are really proud of over these next two years.

457
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: In year three, wherever we're playing, we want people to

458
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: come and then to go into this next one that

459
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: we're coming into. I mean, sky's the limits. So that's

460
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 3: something that we're excited about.

461
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 15: Is that a mentality, by the way, to embrace even

462
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 15: the London games and how much do you embrace the

463
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 15: idea we're this team has played and at times played

464
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 15: well over there.

465
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: My wife's favorite city, you know, it's a great place.

466
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: It's something cool, unique, different that ultimately, like I mentioned before,

467
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: that you want to be a part of you want

468
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: to be a part of change. You want to be

469
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: a part of something unique, and that's what this opportunity

470
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: does present.

471
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: It isn't the norm. Nothing about this has been the norm.

472
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: But that's really cool. That's really cool to be a

473
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: part of that. And we're excited about it.

474
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 5: And front row straight ahead, Alessander.

475
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 16: Please, maam Alexander pomp brand news for Jacks. What about

476
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 16: this team excites you the most?

477
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: I think the leadership first and foremost.

478
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 3: I believe that you look at Josh Heinz Allen the person, right,

479
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence the person. I mean, these guys have done

480
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: unbelievable things throughout this community already, right, so we know

481
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 3: and I know that I'm going to be going to

482
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 3: work with unbelievable people first and foremost. Right, then you

483
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: look at twenty draft picks over the next two years. Right,

484
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: you look at some of the players already currently on

485
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: the roster that did some great things this year. Well,

486
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: everybody needs a coach, everybody needs a player, We need

487
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: each other. And I am so looking forward to doing

488
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: this collaboratively with them, with this staff, there's so many

489
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: good pieces.

490
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 2: You got a rookie wide receiver that you can do

491
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 2: a ton with.

492
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 3: You got two running backs that you can do so

493
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: many good things with, and a defense that, man, they

494
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: can go. We just got to put them in some

495
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: of the better positions to be successful, and I think

496
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: we can do that. Special teams what a great shining

497
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: spot for you guys this year. We got to continue

498
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: to do that and be special on special teams. There's

499
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: so many good things about this roster, and like we

500
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: mentioned before the future the next few years, that's truly

501
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: what's exciting as well.

502
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 16: My fault you mentioned it earlier. How are you going

503
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 16: to change this franchise into a consistently winning culture?

504
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 2: Starts with communication.

505
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: It starts with the alignment in communication at every level,

506
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: right building first and foremost the best staff that we

507
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: can build, because it's, like I mentioned, it's about these guys.

508
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: So how do we put the best coaches in place

509
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: to help these players reach their full abilities? Okay, now

510
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: with the front office, how do we continue to build

511
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: there and get this thing fully in alignment so that

512
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 3: then when we go into the off season program. We're

513
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: all on the same page. We all understand the vision

514
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: and the goal. When I walked into the Los Angeles

515
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: RAMS building in twenty eighteen, I had never felt anything

516
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 3: like that before in my life. It was a different

517
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 3: introduction to coaching. And you saw a building. Every single

518
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: person that was in that building, and a part of

519
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: that thing was in alignment.

520
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: And I think that's the key. Okay, we got room

521
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: for two or three more.

522
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: We're going to go, John and then Hayes.

523
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: Liam, John Shipley on Sports Illustrated. Working for guys like

524
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: Sean and Todd and Tampa. What did you learn from them?

525
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: Just what it takes to be a leader of an

526
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: entire program. That's a good one, John.

527
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: I think the vulnerability to be honest with yourself when

528
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: you do make mistakes, being able to own up to them,

529
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: to be able to move on. If we can all

530
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: be honest with each other in this building, we'll be

531
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: able to grow.

532
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: I think that's the first thing. The ownership.

533
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: The ownership's not just in the good times, it's truly

534
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: in the adverse times. And how do we handle success

535
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: while also being able to handle adversity.

536
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: Those were things that I learned from Sean.

537
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: We had to learn some hard We had a difficult

538
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: season in twenty twenty two that formed us, that changed us.

539
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 3: We've talked about that year and how difficult that was,

540
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: but we're better from it. And so those experience is

541
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: that ultimately helps mold who you are, what you're made of,

542
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: and I hope to be able to bring that here

543
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: as well.

544
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 17: Heyce, please congratulations gentlemen. Heyes, carline with ten ten xl shot.

545
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 17: What's your vision in terms of putting the fifty three

546
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 17: together and how much, say Liam will have in the

547
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 17: construction of the team.

548
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: I think you know, obviously a head coach, he's the

549
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: head coach, and you know we've never had a player

550
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: come in here that the coaches didn't want, you know,

551
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: so I think it's imperative that you know he's involved

552
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: in every player coming in is someone he wants.

553
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 17: And then Liam once again, congratulations. How do you assess

554
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 17: the lines of scrimmage here and where do you guys

555
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 17: need to get better?

556
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: I think we would all you know, agree that it

557
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: needs to improve, right. I think that when when you

558
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: look at first and foremost the offensive side of the ball,

559
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: you know you want that you in that group. It's

560
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: the first thing when you break the huddle that the

561
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: defense sees. I want that to mean something. We want

562
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: that to mean something, and it will. And that's a mentality.

563
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: That's personnel, that scheme, that's technique, that's fundamentals, that's attitude.

564
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: That's something that we need to make sure we instill.

565
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: And then on the defensive side of the ball, I

566
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: think we all know that we've got some talented dudes there.

567
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: We've got some guys that can really go. How do

568
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: we continue to ensure the inside? But we got three

569
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 3: We've got multiple guys up front that can do some

570
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: good things. We've got to put them in a position

571
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: to be successful.

572
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: That's our job. The guys are there.

573
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: We can continue to add in that room, right, add

574
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: multiple different positions as well.

575
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: But that's where it starts.

576
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, to go in playoff games and to

577
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: go do it, you've got to be able to run

578
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: the football and stop the run first and foremost,
