1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: We're joined by the general manager of the New York Giants,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Dave Gentleman. And Dave talked about the interview process and

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: what impressed you the most about Joe Judge so that

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: this was the landing spot for the organization. You know,

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: first of all, it was the way Joe carried himself

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: when he came in. I know, you know I overheard

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: his conversation earlier and he said he came in with

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: the mentality he was just gonna have a conversation, and

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: that truly was what it was. It was like a

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: bunch of guys, you know, had about having a beer

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: talking ball. It was. It was easy for him. He

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: knew exactly what he wanted, where he wanted to go,

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: and how he wanted to get there. It really was

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: an excellent interview taken me to the beginning of the process.

15
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is probably a name for most fans

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: and people in the media, probably a throwaway name. And

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, we see the list of names of people

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: that the Giants are expected to talk to. Obviously, for

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: you to put him on the list, this isn't about

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: wasting your time. Um. What was it about the process

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: before the process that got him even on your radar. Well,

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, you look his resume, you know that. You

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: know he's he's coached under and learned from two of

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: the iconic current coaches, you know, Alabama in New England.

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: So you know it's it's you know, he's learned, he's

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: won five championships in ten years. You have to know

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: what it feels like, looks like, and smells like to

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: get it done. And he's got that piece, the wealth

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: of information that he had where he'd been. You know,

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: obviously you make phone calls and you do that piece

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: of it, you do the reconnaissance auent, so to speak.

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: And it was just like where we'd be silly not

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: to the brand of football. What what is the shared

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: vision of what the two thousand twenty and moving forward

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: New York Giants should look like on the field. Well,

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: you know it's it's you know, Joe said, I mean

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: the marriage, the mesh of the philosophies is very similar.

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: I've I've been quoted a number of times since I

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: got here. It's about running the ball, it's about stopping

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: the run. And and you know I had rushing the passer.

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: But you know, the style of football evolves, but the

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: same basic truth. So there, okay, and you know you can't.

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: This is a tough man's game, and that's something that

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Job bring, Job brand help us get back that edge

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: of toughness. Obviously, the Giants have a certain structure that

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: has always been in place, general manager, head coach. Um.

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's been portrayed in ways that it not necessarily is.

48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: As far as not being as collaborative, we do know

49
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: that it is collaborative. Just talk about being able to

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: work with him and work with his staff. As far

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: as coming to the conclusions that you're gonna need to

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: come to to rebuild this football team, well, it's it's

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, I have this crazy idea that everybody accept.

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: The coaches, we're all support staff. Our responsibility Again, at

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's my responsibility is to

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: create the atmosphere so coaches can coach and players can

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: play to their best. I've always been collaborative, you know,

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: in Carolina. Here the first two years, Joe will be

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of every of every decision and he

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and I will talk things through. You guys know I'm

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: a consensus builder, so we'll we'll you know, we'll operate

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: that way. And you know it'll be it's it's a

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: shared vision and uh, you know, at the end of

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the day, the product is his on the field, and

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to support him in any way I can. Dave,
