1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: I I, you don't have to raise your hand care

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: and I know where you're at.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm great, how are you help.

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: Now?

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Else I would just say that that's unfortunate. I would

6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: say that, uh, and my experiences with with Robert is

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: more than deserving and he'll he'll be in the Hall

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: of fame. I just I'm not in charge of, you know,

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: deciding when that happens. And so, uh, I appreciate the

10
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: the relationship that I've had with him and the success

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: uh as a player and now as a coach. So uh,

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: he's done everything that uh, you know, we've needed and

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: the support and provided the support that we've needed as

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: a staff and as a team. So I'm glad that

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's back here and you know, continuing to

16
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: help us do things that will help the team win

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: and ultimately allow him to be recognized. Dass fight to you.

18
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. Paternity leave has been in the news cycle this week,

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 4: with questio Dolfo Mensa taking two weeks to work remotely.

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: Did that news shock you and how do you decide

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: when it's a good time to stop thinking about football?

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think there's ever a time to stop

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: thinking about football. Football has been a part of my

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: life since I was twelve years old and started to

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: be able to play. We we do everything that we

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: possibly can to support the people in our building on

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: and off the field, our coaches, and you know, I'm

28
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: really try to do everything that we can to support

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: the men and women in our building, and that's where

30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: my focus is.

31
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: Mike, I want to ask you about Drake May of

32
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: course a really good sophomore year MVP candidate. What have

33
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: you seen in practice, that's all You've seen him have

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: that improvement in his second year in the NFL.

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Well, I think it all starts with talent. I think

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: he's extremely talented. I think he's athletic. I think he

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: plays the position athletically and allows him to be accurate

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: with the football, whether that's in the pocket or extending play.

39
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: So he's a he's a competitor. He is he's always

40
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: trying to learn, continues to build and develop as a leader.

41
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: So you know that his success and his performance is

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: a large part of why we're here morning, Mike, Anyboddy

43
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: uh just a kind of a follow up on Drake.

44
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: He said last night that he thought he turned a

45
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: corner Sunday on the flight felt really.

46
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: Good through it practice.

47
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 6: Just if you can't update us and how he's doing

48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 6: and how the illness and the shoulder are coming along.

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think that he's he spoke for himself

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: on how he feels. I can't. I can't determine how

51
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: he feels. I know that practice yesterday was good for

52
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: him and for everybody to get out there and get

53
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: moving around. We appreciate everybody at Stanford for providing us

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the facility that we have, and so I think we

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: got got the week off to a great start. Good morning, coach, Hey,

56
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: how are you awesome?

57
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 7: What's the hardest adversity you've had to overcome as a coach?

58
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, first of all, thank you for the question.

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: I also appreciate everybody supporting us last night and coming

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: out last night to to ask our questions, our players

61
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: questions and get to know them a little bit better.

62
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think probably early on, you know, just

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: going from a player to a coach, have an idea

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: of what coaching was. But you know, I tell this

65
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: to every person I interview. Nobody's gonna have a worse

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: first interview than I did. I wasn't prepared urban I

67
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: sat down with urban Meyer in front of a staff,

68
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: interviewed for a position and completely bombed it and had

69
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: no idea, wasn't prepared, didn't have a teaching progression, and

70
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: he gave me about eight hours to go back in

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: my office and didn't sleep, didn't go home to prepare

72
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: for the next day at six in the morning. So

73
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: that's probably the first adversity that I faced, was like,

74
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: am I really going to do this? And I better

75
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: go back and formulate my thoughts and have a teaching

76
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: progression to what I was going to do. So nobody's

77
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna have a worse first interview than I did.

78
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 6: Coach, you're looking to become the fifth coach that won

79
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl both as a player and a head coach.

80
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 6: You would be the only one that also has a

81
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 6: sack and a touchdown reception. But I'm just curious, are

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 6: there anything any lessons that you think you can instill

83
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 6: in these guys, specifically from your time as a player

84
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 6: in these games that translate also as a head coach.

85
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I always try to use every

86
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: experience that I've had over the course of close to

87
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: thirty years in this league, whether that's as a player

88
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: or a coach to try to help the team and

89
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: help individual players do their jobs. So, you know, I

90
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: think you have to be ready for every situation that

91
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: occurs and the opportunities present themselves. In these types of games,

92
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: you only have so many opportunities to make a play,

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: so you always have to be ready.

94
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 8: Coach over here, congratulations being here. I want to ask

95
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 8: you about this, the storyline about the two teams that

96
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 8: are in the super Bowl not necessarily being the favorites

97
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 8: at the start of the season. There's that poster where

98
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 8: they have your two quarterbacks way back. Maybe that's symbolic,

99
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 8: I don't know.

100
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: Can you talk about or either they're really far away

101
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: or really close. I'm not sure which one. It depends

102
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: which way you look at it.

103
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, I want to ask you, why do you think

104
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 8: Americans people in general, like to see underdogs do well,

105
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 8: teams that aren't expected to do something. And was there

106
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 8: any point during the season where you had one of

107
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 8: these coaching talks still in your team, no one expects

108
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 8: you to do this, prove them wrong type thing.

109
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: Now, we've always tried to focus on how things are

110
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: going to go right and not worry about how they're gonna,

111
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, what could happen or go wrong. As far

112
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: as America, I mean, I think I would say the

113
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: majority of Americans or a majority of people probably are

114
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: more underdogs than they are favorites. You know, Favorites are

115
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: the talented elite top ten percent, and most groups are

116
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: made out of a lot of people that are average

117
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: and eighty percent, And we're trying to make the eighty

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: percent a little bit better. Talent's talent. There's a lot

119
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: of things that are God given. We try to focus

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: on things that we can realistically improve.

121
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 9: Coach right here right in the back. Hi, I'm Kintessa

122
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 9: Brewer from CNBC. Congratulations, Thank you. A lot has changed

123
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 9: over the nation's landscape since the last time the Patriots

124
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 9: were in their Super Bowl, and we've seen the rise

125
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 9: of sports gambling, prediction markets, sweeps. Can you talk a

126
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 9: little bit about the pressure that puts on the team

127
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 9: and the staff what they're dealing with going into the

128
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 9: Super Bowl?

129
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. The pressure in our business is always

130
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: going to be there, whether people wager on it legally

131
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: or not. And we understand the nature of this business

132
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: and how competitive it is. As you can see the

133
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: turnover and coaching staffs, turnovers and rosters the draft every year.

134
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: How competitive this business is as it starts to bleed

135
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: into college and the landscape that we're starting to see.

136
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: So gambling has nothing to do with our willingness to

137
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 1: work in the pressure that we're under and the expectations.

138
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 10: Coach Mike, as you've assessed Sam Darnold getting ready for

139
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 10: this game, how would you describe the way he's handled pressure.

140
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I think he's handled it well. I think that you know, again,

141
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: there's a willingness to stand in the pocket, and there's

142
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: a willingness to progress through a lot of talent. I

143
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: think his courage to stand in there. I mean the

144
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: Rams nailed him and he completed an unbelievable pass to

145
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Cooper on the sideline. So he didn't shy away, didn't duck,

146
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't fade back. He stood there and face the fire,

147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: which what you have to do in this league if

148
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: you're going to be an elite quarterback.

149
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 11: Hey Mike, congrats and making Super Bowl. This Seattle defense

150
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 11: is top three in quarterback pressures.

151
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: There are top three and a lot of things.

152
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, but they do ac think, you know, the second

153
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 11: most yards after the catch. So when you're looking at

154
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 11: the profile of this defense, you know what they present,

155
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 11: how does that shape the way that you think about

156
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 11: attacking them on Sunday.

157
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Well, we have to stay balanced. I mean, we're you know,

158
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, our best games were able to to provide

159
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: some semblance of run game and we're able to kind

160
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: of marry some of the play action passes. And I

161
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: don't think in this league you want to turn things

162
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: into a drop back passing game. That makes it really difficult.

163
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: They're good upfront, they play a lot of people, they're disruptive,

164
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: they're really they work well together with games. They don't

165
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: give up many X plays. And I think that they

166
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: those numbers whichever you're alluding to, isn't because they're not

167
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: good tacklers. They're really good tacklers. It's just sometimes in

168
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: the shell that they're in, you know, some of the

169
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: underneath coverage is a little bit deeper. But I think

170
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: they're a very they're a very good tackling football team,

171
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: and you can tell the fundamentals that they play with

172
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: across the board.

173
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 10: Coach to switch to your defense, you obviously brought in

174
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 10: a lot of new people at all three levels in

175
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 10: free agency. You have the coordinator switched that you did

176
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 10: not expect early in the season. How proud are you

177
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 10: of these guys to come together at exactly the right times.

178
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 10: It's like as the the longest see like your defense

179
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 10: just got better and better.

180
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, they've then continue to improve. I think most of

181
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: the people on our on our team, our coaching staff

182
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: has continued to improve. And that's what you have to

183
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: do for the teams that want to be here. Talked

184
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: about the ones that are playing the best football later,

185
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: the ones that are usually in the in the playoffs,

186
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: and that continues to happen. So I give them a

187
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: lot of credit defensively for what they've done. And uh,

188
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, we'll need our best effort on Sunday in

189
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: order to help us win the football game. And Mike,

190
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: good morning, Hi.

191
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 11: It's unusual for a team to have a rookie starting

192
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 11: and left tackle and left guard.

193
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 5: What's led to and allowed Will and Jared to have

194
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: success this year?

195
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think they're talented. I think that

196
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: they've worked. I think they've tried to get better each

197
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: and every week. There's some matchups in this league that

198
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: that are tough, and you know, they've they've had some

199
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: really good plays. They've had some plays that they'd like

200
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: to have back, but they're they're out there for the

201
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: most part all the time, practicing and proving, working together.

202
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we never really looked at it

203
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: as you know, rookie players on the left side or

204
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't really get into that much. I you know,

205
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: we talk about maturity maturities based on experience, not age,

206
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: and they have a lot of experience here this entire year.

207
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, they both missed a few games, but you

208
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: know they've been in there the majority of the time. Hey, coach, congratulations,

209
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: thank you.

210
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 6: When it comes to dynasty, I'm sure that's the talk

211
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 6: that you've heard about. It's something that you've been a

212
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 6: part of as well. Is that something that you embrace

213
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 6: when it comes to your team where you try to

214
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 6: ignore And also, I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas hometown upon.

215
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Her Henry, what does he meant to this team?

216
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 6: And just uh can you speak to him just who

217
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 6: he is as a player and as a person.

218
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where the dynasty would come from. Uh,

219
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the teams that I was a part

220
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: of in the past, you could consider that but we're

221
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: just trying to build a program. And you know, first

222
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: year at a program, we ended up here and uh,

223
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: we're excited about it and we're we're ready to go

224
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: or will we will be ready to go?

225
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 2: Uh.

226
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Hunter, as I've always said, this has been consistent, been

227
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: one of the most consistent players on our football team.

228
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,359
Speaker 1: As it relates to his daily attitude but also his performance.

229
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: You understand what you're going to get each and every day. Uh.

230
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: And then when his numbers called, he usually always comes

231
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: through for us.

232
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 7: Hey, Mike, congratulations. And I wanted to ask you when

233
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 7: when a team moves on from you as a head coach,

234
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 7: which Tennessee did, were there any moments of any self

235
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 7: doubt or introspection and do you feel a level of

236
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 7: redemption in any way being here?

237
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: No, I am grateful for the opportunity, all right. You know,

238
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: whether it's a player that gets released and then picked

239
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: up by another team, or it's a coach that's you know,

240
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: somebody moves on from or fires you know, I think

241
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: you just are grateful for the opportunity that you have

242
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: the next time, and you try to do everything that

243
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: you can not to let that happen. As far as

244
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: emotions go, I think there's plenty of emotion. Whether that's

245
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: being traded to Kansas City as a player or that's

246
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: being fired as as a coach. There's a lot of

247
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: emotions that you go through, and you know, sometimes that

248
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: takes a little longer to get over than others.

249
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 5: Sophie, good, how about you great? I wanted to ask

250
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 5: about Terrell Williams. There was a report that he's cancer

251
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 5: free before the trip. What's it like to have him

252
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: here and be able to kind of celebrate such a

253
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 5: big accomplishment this week of all weeks.

254
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: Yep, thank you for asking about Terrell. He's doing great.

255
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: He has cancer free, he's uh and he was able

256
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: to come in and be a part of things that

257
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: we were doing late in the season based on how

258
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: he was feeling, and so it was great to have

259
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: him around based on his health and what he felt.

260
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: Certainly great to have him out here this week. And

261
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, I would say that he has a reach

262
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: to all three phases and the players on our on

263
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: our team and and through our staff. So I'm glad

264
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: that he can be out here to to enjoy this

265
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: and also help us prepare. Thank you, guys,
