You went from being 59 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: a GA obviously to a position coach, but then back 60 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: to a GA at Bama. Was that a tough call 61 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: for you to take a step back, but the program 62 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: was a step up? 63 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, it really wasn't. I knew I had more to learn. 64 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 10: Certainly financially it didn't make a lot of sense, but 65 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 10: from a professional development standpoint, it was definitely the right move. 66 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: How much do you say when it comes to what 67 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: uniforms are going to wear or what uniforms are going 68 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: to be created. Do you ever see one that doesn't 69 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: even get to the player's eyes because you're like that 70 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: one is not good? 71 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 10: Sometimes there's a no, but but once once we have 72 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 10: the go, that's kind of where I step out, right, 73 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 10: so I get to see him in advance. 74 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 6: But our creative team, our design group, uh. 75 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 10: They do they do an unbelievable job and then they 76 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 10: get a lot of feedback from our players. Right, Kenny 77 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 10: Farr does a great job working with Nike and you 78 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 10: know those guys that create some some awesome get ups. 79 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 6: For our guys. 80 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 10: But a lot of times we get to the game 81 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 10: on Saturday, when I walk out the tunnel, that's when 82 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 10: I see. 83 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 6: It the first time. 84 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 10: No way, not not the very first time. But like, 85 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 10: but I'm not that week. I'm a lot more. 86 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 6: Worried about the opponent than what we're gonna work to 87 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 6: the game. 88 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: I feel like my party jerseys. 89 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: So do you have like a guy that will say 90 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: to you, hey, this looks great?

In fact, I think he's the 95 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 10: best in the nation. When it comes to piecing this together. 96 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 10: It's Kenny farr H. And again he does a great 97 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 10: job of meeting with our players, collaborating with them, collaborate 98 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 10: reading with. 99 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 6: Nike to create some really cool setups for our guys. 100 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: Coach of the network loves highlighting your excitement and you 101 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 5: pumping up the team. And there's always a video montage 102 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 5: of somewhere during the game. Do you sometimes go home 103 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 5: and watch and be like, oh, man, like went too hard? 104 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 5: I went way too hard. 105 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 11: You know. 106 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 6: I don't normally watch the TV copy. 107 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 10: You know, at times we might go back and like 108 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 10: peel through it for you know, to to make sure 109 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 10: we don't putting any signals on film or things like that. 110 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 10: But I don't spend a lot of time watching that. 111 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 10: And I'm never gonna be I'm never gonna apologize for passion. 112 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 10: I think the players are going to match your energy 113 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 10: and enthusiasm, So that's something I always want to carry 114 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 10: on the field. 115 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: You mentioned you're not gonna watch signal, possibly because signals 116 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: could be out there that that's not really a thing anymore. 117 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 10: I think it'll still exist in college football just because 118 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 10: there's still gonna be some teams that carry tempo, and 119 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 10: if you're you know, reliant to just giving the call 120 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 10: and when to one guy in the field, you're probably 121 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 10: going to be short. You know, you want eleven guys 122 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 10: playing the same call on both sides of the ball. 123 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 10: So at times, I think signals will still exist. 124 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: Are you advocating now that every player has communication to 125 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: their helmet because that's what I hear. 126 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, i'd be, I'd be. I'd be great with that. 127 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 10: There's probably some guys that there's such thing as too 128 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 10: much information too. When you get on the field, your 129 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 10: best players, you just wanted to be all play. But yeah, 130 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 10: I think there's probably a benefit to just to where 131 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 10: everybody can hear the call, and that would. 132 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 6: That would certainly help things. 133 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: What if everybody else could talk back? Because I worked 134 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: at Hobby Lobby for a while and they gave me 135 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: a speaker. I was on the thing all the time 136 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: and I didn't need to say anything. 137 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 10: You ever been on alwaukie talkie where the other guy's 138 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 10: always talking and you can ever. 139 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was me and hobby lobby. They'd be like, hey, 140 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: go down and set up this display. And I was like, hey, guys, 141 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: if you look at three like I out three like 142 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: she's got to you know that kind of stuff. 143 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 3: So, yeah, that probably wouldn't be good right and not 144 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: be a good thing. 145 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: Do you ever feel like you you'll change your offense 146 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: or defense based on personnel that comes in if the 147 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: talent is so strikingly Let's say, you know, you run 148 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: wide open, but let's say the guy comes in and 149 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: is a straight ahead runner and maybe doesn't need it 150 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: as well open, Will you change your offense at all 151 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: for that? 152 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 6: Absolutely? 153 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 10: I think a coach's job is to match the you know, 154 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 10: the talents of his personnel, and that's, you know, going 155 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 10: back to being a high school coach, I think you 156 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 10: have to look and see what your players do. 157 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 6: Best and try to make sure you're utilizing their talents. 158 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: When you were your first GA job, what was the 159 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: goal for you there? Was it to be a head 160 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: coach at a major university? 161 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 6: Yeah?

She's a rock star. 395 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 15: But I mean Coach Pete's a huge mentor of mine. 396 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 15: And you know something I've took it from him is 397 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 15: just blending your home life with you do it with football, 398 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 15: and then you just got to be intentional. So like 399 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 15: even in a game week situation like Sundays, I try 400 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 15: to make sure I get home Sundays, make sure I 401 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 15: get dinner with the family and put our girls to sleep, 402 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 15: like that's a non negotiable. Tuesdays after practice, me and 403 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 15: my wife outside. 404 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: Of Boise, we gotta right our outside of our facility. 405 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 14: There's a river. 406 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 15: Me and my wife on Tuesdays after practice, will go 407 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 15: on a thirty minute walk and just talk about life, 408 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 15: how the girls are doing, how she's doing. We have 409 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 15: a we're expecting another baby in March, so kind of 410 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 15: going through how she's feeling. And then on Thursday night 411 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 15: is date night for us. And then depending if it's 412 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 15: home or away, kind of going through those things. And 413 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 15: then so much of it is trying to get our 414 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 15: you know, my girls and my wife in the facility, 415 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 15: around around our players, because not just for the connection 416 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 15: with me and my family, but I think one for 417 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 15: our kids to see us working, because even as a 418 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 15: young kids, they just you're either home or you're at work, right, 419 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 15: there's not sometimes they can't even calculate why is my 420 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 15: dad not here? Or I want them to see what 421 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 15: their dad's doing, and I want them to see there's 422 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 15: quality and hard work, like hard work means a lot, like. 423 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: There's no substitute for it. And I also want our players. 424 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 15: A lot of our players come from home situations where 425 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 15: they didn't have a dad. I mean they're raised by 426 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 15: their mom, their auntie, their grandma, maybe a coach. So 427 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 15: I want them not that we're perfect examples. We're working 428 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 15: our tailoft always improved, but I want them to see 429 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 15: what a husband and a father looks like. 430 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: We got players in our team that are dads. Want 431 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 4: them to see what this looks like. 432 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 15: Not perfect, it's not about perfection, but seeing us in 433 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 15: that space. For our players to be around, those things 434 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 15: are huge. So try and be very intentional with the 435 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 15: time we have, especially in season, and make sure that 436 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 15: it's on my schedule. This is my time with my wife, 437 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 15: or this is the time that I'm doing this. 438 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: And try to stick to as much we can. 439 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: We have a lot of parents that will listen to 440 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: the show and talk about and ask questions about. 441 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: Their kids playing sports. 442 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: Would you prefer a kid play a bunch of sports 443 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: or really dedicate themselves to one. 444 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 4: I would love. 445 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 15: Someone to play as many sports as they can.

We don't do a lot of that 457 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 15: because we're a developmental program.

I believe in truth, and so 491 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 15: if a parent is frustrated that their teams should be 492 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 15: or their sons should be playing more, I want them 493 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 15: to call me because I'd rather tell you this is 494 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 15: why your son is not These are the things that 495 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 15: he's struggling in because they're only getting one side of 496 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 15: the story. They're getting the story that you know. I'm 497 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 15: not playing because of these things. I want to give 498 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 15: them the truth of this is where we need your. 499 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 4: Son to grow. 500 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 15: And so I want to keep the lines of communication open, 501 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 15: and especially in this you know, new landscape of college 502 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 15: football with the transfer portal, is I want our parents 503 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 15: to know exactly what we're doing and how we're developing 504 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 15: their sons. And I believe that we're going to develop 505 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 15: their sons better than any other school. Maybe other schools 506 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 15: can offer them other things, but there's not going to 507 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 15: be a place that they're going to develop more. 508 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 4: And I think being. 509 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 15: On the same page with these parents and just being 510 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 15: intentional to be upfront with them, and that's where that's 511 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 15: why I zoom with them once a month so they 512 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 15: can know my messaging. 513 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 4: This is what when. 514 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 15: We talk about practice performance like, this is what I mean. 515 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 15: So if your son is performing in practice, you're going 516 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 15: to see him play more in the game. If your 517 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 15: son is not playing in the game, you know that 518 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 15: that's probably because he's not performing. 519 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 4: The way we need him to in practice. 520 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 15: So I'm intentional to be truthful with our parents to 521 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 15: know the landscape so then they can filter through some 522 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 15: of the information they're maybe getting from their sons. 523 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: If there's a concert coming to Boise and who is 524 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: it that you will not miss? 525 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 15: Oh, good question, I'm probably more on the on the 526 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 15: country side of things. I don't listen to a ton 527 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 15: of music. I listened to a lot of worship music. 528 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 15: I like Elevation Maverick City are two of my favorite 529 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 15: worship band. But I'd say like country artists. I'm a 530 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 15: huge Luke Holms guy. He came to the Blue a 531 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 15: couple of years ago. Didn't miss it. 532 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 4: Who else would I say? I like Morgan wall And. 533 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 15: If there's a if there's a country concert coming to 534 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 15: boise Ido and we're not doing football, I'm gonna I 535 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 15: finally got some cowboy boots this offseason, so you better 536 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 15: believe that I'm gonna be I'll be rocket those. 537 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: To final question, do you ever just want to give 538 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: yourself the game ball in front of everybody? 539 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: Give it to me, boys, look at me. This is 540 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 4: what I got going up. I mean, I'll be honest, No, 541 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 4: i'd either's. 542 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 15: I mean, I just I'm one of those guys that's 543 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 15: probably overly emotional, Like every time I talk to our team, 544 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 15: I gotta fight crying because I just love these kids. 545 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 4: I mean, I see the work they put in, the 546 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 4: grind they do. 547 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 15: I mean, when it's January, Ashon gent's doing up downs 548 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 15: in the snow, and then you see them do what 549 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 15: they do. That's why I mean after these games, I'm 550 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 15: emotional because you know, I I just am so respectful 551 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 15: of our players not running from hard work, not taking 552 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 15: the easy road, doing you know, really enjoying hard stuff. 553 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 15: And I think that's uncommon in college football right now. 554 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 15: And I'm not saying that makes us better perfect by 555 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 15: any means, but I do think. You know, Boise State 556 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 15: is built on this blue collar mentality, and our players 557 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 15: do that every day. That doesn't mean that we're gonna 558 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 15: win every game. It means that we're gonna give ourselves 559 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 15: a good shot. So I could say after the games 560 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 15: that I haven't had that fight in my heart. I've 561 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 15: been giving a couple and I'm like, man, give this 562 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 15: to the guy that just score five touchdown. 563 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 4: I didn't do anything. I'm a I'm a glorified cheerleader. 564 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: Coach, we really appreciate the time we're rooting for you. 565 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 4: I appreciate you. 566 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: Moving on to Marcus Freeman, he's the head coach at 567 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and he made me feel like I could 568 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: go play at Notre Dame right now totally. I probably 569 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't because it's cold. And that's the only reason I 570 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: could for him. I can play linebacker. I'm not going 571 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: to play that anywhere. It's freezing cold there. But man, 572 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: this dude he played linebacker at Ohio State. 573 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: He was the. 574 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator, and then when Brian Kelly left to go 575 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: to LSU, he became the inne Roman, then the head coach. 576 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he still looks like he can go right now. 577 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: So Marcus Freeman from Notre Dame. Here is Coach Freeman. Hey, coach, 578 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: thank you very much for the time. 579 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 7: We really appreciate it absolutely, man, glad to be on here. 580 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: Question number one, when you're recruiting a kid, do they 581 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: ever say it's just too cold up there? 582 00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 3: Coach? 583 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 12: If they say that, I probably turn away as fast 584 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 12: as I can. You know, I let them know that. Listen, man, 585 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 12: we got jackets, we have indoor stadium, an indoor practice facility. 586 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 12: I'm from the north, I'm from Ohio, a Midwest guy, 587 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 12: and so listen, cold is cold, and you don't ever 588 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 12: get used to it. You just got to put on 589 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 12: more clothes and at some point you'll you'll figure it out. 590 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 12: But you know, most kids that say, coach, I can't 591 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 12: play in the cold. You know right away you're not 592 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 12: going to get them. 593 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: What's like the trick to catching balls in the cold. 594 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: I know you look at me and you go, that 595 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: guy was a heck of a high school receiver, and coach, 596 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: I accept that. Thank you for saying that in your mind. 597 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: But I always struggle catching balls in the cold. I 598 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: catch balls in the warm, but catching balls in the cold, like, 599 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: what is the key to catching a ball in cold weather? 600 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 12: You know, I think you've got to try to keep 601 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 12: your hands warm, Like, if your hands are frozen, you're 602 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 12: not going to be a great pass catcher. And so 603 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 12: you know, obviously hand warmers, they have those, the handwarmers 604 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 12: that you were outside of your uniform. But in between plays, 605 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 12: it's really important to keep your hands warm, and so 606 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 12: you have to use different things to make sure that happens. 607 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 12: That that might be handwarmers inside your glove, that might 608 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 12: be a couple of different things. But if your hands 609 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 12: are frozed, you're not gonna catch that ball. 610 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: Can you wear doctors gloves inside of a glove? 611 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's some players that do that. There's some coaches 612 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 7: that do that. 613 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: Dang that's what I would do, because we'd be in 614 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: the deer woods and I wear doctors gloves underneath gloves, 615 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: and I was made fun of. Do you guys make 616 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: fun of people who do that? Because if so, I 617 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: take offense. 618 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 13: Not. 619 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 12: As as long as you get your job done, nobody's 620 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 12: gonna make funey. You always say there's no there's no 621 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 12: such thing as a cold tough guy. And so you 622 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 12: know if you're if you're cold, you're cold. You're not 623 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 12: being a tough guy. So do whatever it takes and 624 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 12: make sure you're warm. 625 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna be humble here. I would prefer you not, 626 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: but maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle. Do 627 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: you think you could play a solid two to three 628 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: minutes a game right now you've said enough. 629 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 3: Enough? 630 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 12: Yeah, it depends on what the offense is doing. But yeah, listen, 631 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 12: I mean, my pride is telling me I could give 632 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 12: you two to three minutes. The outcome might be something 633 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 12: that the offensive defense doesn't want, but you, my pride 634 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 12: tells me, yeah, I could play a couple of plays. 635 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: If you win a big game, how quickly do you 636 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: go home? Do you have a bit of family time 637 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: at home or do you get right to film that 638 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: evening depending on who the next opponent is. 639 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I go right away. That's just who I am. 640 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 12: If it's an away game, I make sure I evaluate 641 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 12: the game on the plane as we come back. If 642 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 12: it's a home game, I come right into my office. 643 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 12: For me, it's hard to go home and have family 644 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 12: time when I haven't evaluated the previous game. So I 645 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 12: evaluate that game right away and take some notes and 646 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 12: then go and have a little bit of family time 647 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 12: and come in on Sunday, and now you can be 648 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 12: ready to move on to the next opponent. 649 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: Tell me about Riley Leonard as a dude. 650 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 12: He's awesome man. He is just a great human being. 651 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 12: He's a great teammate. There's not enough compliments that I 652 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 12: can give him, but he is a wonderful for individual. 653 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: So after the loss at Northern Illinois, what was the 654 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: big takeaway that has changed this team for the good? 655 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 7: I think it's just the mindset that we have to have. 656 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 12: And I said this to the media on the Monday 657 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 12: after that game, is that this is the first time 658 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 12: for me as the head coach of my three years 659 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 12: that we won that big game early. You know, we 660 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 12: lost to Ohio State the past two years early in 661 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 12: the season, and it was kind of like you were 662 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 12: humbled and you got to make sure you're getting ready 663 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 12: for the next opponent. But this time we won the 664 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 12: big one early over Texas A and M. And I 665 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 12: think as we look back, we didn't have the right mindset, 666 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 12: the mental approach to this game. And I don't think 667 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 12: anybody in this program believed that we could lose the 668 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 12: Northern Illinois. And you know, sometimes you have too much 669 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 12: pride and you get humbled, and we were humbled. And 670 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 12: I think I often tell this group in this program, 671 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 12: like we have to keep that pain and we have 672 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 12: to remember what it was like to lose that game. 673 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 12: And so we can never lack in the mental approach 674 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 12: to the preparation. It's not just a physical approach, it's 675 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 12: a mental approach. And we know if we don't prepare 676 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 12: the right way and respect our opponents the way we should, 677 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 12: then we can be beat by anybody in the country. 678 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 12: And so that's what we got to understand. And it's 679 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 12: you know, easy at first to have that mindset. And 680 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 12: now you've had a couple of wins, and you know 681 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 12: people are telling you how good this. 682 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 7: Team is, but we got to keep that same mindset. 683 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 7: It's just this is who we are. 684 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 12: We're not going back to who we used to be, 685 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 12: and we got to approach every week with the right mindset. 686 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: I feel like once in Churchill's pretty cool when I 687 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: like read what he had to say. I feel like 688 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: sometimes I listen to Gary Vee and let's talk about 689 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: sports cards. Who is it that you can listen to 690 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: talk and it can really fire you up or kind 691 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 1: of reset you. 692 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 12: Oh man, you know there's a couple of people, you know, 693 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 12: every once in a while, listen. 694 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 7: To a motivational speech. 695 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 12: You know, we played a Kobe Bryant video the other day, 696 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 12: just talking about the mindset. I might listen to a 697 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 12: sermon by TD Jakes or something like that. I'll listen 698 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 12: to a coach. I talked to my college coach, Jim 699 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 12: Tressel often, who helps, you know, with my mental approach 700 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 12: as the head coach and the leader each week. But 701 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 12: I think you can grab wisdom from anybody, and it's 702 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 12: all about you know, are you humble enough to accept 703 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 12: the wisdom that's out there? 704 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: Do you still call coach Tressell coach? 705 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 7: Absolutely? I always will and. 706 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. What about your high school coach, You 707 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: still call him coach? 708 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 7: I call him coach. 709 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 6: That's right. 710 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 12: I think once you have a coach, like especially somebody 711 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 12: that's older than you and that's impacted you in a 712 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 12: strong way, like they're always coach to you, and no 713 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 12: matter how long or how old you get, you know 714 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 12: they're always going to be coach. 715 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: Notre Dame known for their traditional uniforms. We know who 716 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: it is when we see it immediately in the land, though, 717 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: of everybody wanting ten thousand uniforms, any idea to put 718 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: like a couple of hearts on the side of the helmet, 719 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: or like just like one game, like switch it up 720 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: a couple of lightning bolts like or is it just. 721 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: We are who we are, We're not changing. 722 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 12: Listen, there's a little bit of both, right, the the 723 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 12: old traditionalists. You know, every year we wear green jerseys, 724 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 12: and I don't have to be on social media to 725 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 12: hear sometimes the complaints. 726 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 7: Sometimes even within this building. 727 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 12: We have some guys that played here that just love 728 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 12: the tradition Notre Dame, and I can tell it kind 729 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 12: of turns their stomach when they see us in green 730 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 12: or wear a different combination. But I think part of 731 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 12: it is that we have to remember what our tradition is. 732 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 7: Like those gold. 733 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 12: Helmets, the normal home and away uniforms is something that 734 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 12: makes us unique. But the young people like a little 735 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 12: bit of flavor, and so I think you can be 736 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 12: somewhere in the middle where you let your your players 737 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 12: and your captains kind of determine what they want to 738 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 12: wear for that week. But at the same point, let's 739 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 12: not get too far away from the tradition. 740 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: What about people not wearing knee pads? 741 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: Do you ever like put pads in? 742 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 7: No? 743 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 12: I mean, listen as you looking in NFL, some of 744 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 12: those guys don't wear knee or dipads, and. 745 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,239 Speaker 7: You know, it depends on what position you are. 746 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 12: If you're a ball carrier, uh, you probably should have 747 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 12: knee pads in. But a lot of guys on defense, 748 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 12: you know, there's not a whole bunch of cup blocks 749 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 12: anymore unless you're playing Navy and Army. Knee pads can 750 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 12: be overrated at times, but it's all based on the 751 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 12: position you play. 752 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: What if one of your guys want to wear like 753 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: the old school single bar, like Dick Bucke's helmet is 754 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: like coaches, would you allow that? 755 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 7: The only things you better be tough. 756 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 12: Now, if you're gonna wear one of those homes, you 757 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 12: better be tough and represent what that means. But as 758 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 12: long as you go do your job and you're tough, 759 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 12: I'm good with whatever you wear. 760 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: I would play for you. I say this all the time. 761 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: I know you're not here, but I would play for you, 762 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: even though you would never let me. But like, I 763 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: watch you and I'm like, that's a dude that I'm 764 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: not like at all because I'm not near as tough 765 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: or cool or good looking. 766 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 3: But I would like to play for him. So congratulations, coach. 767 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 7: That means a love. 768 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 3: I appreciate you. 769 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 7: I love to host you here anytime. 770 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 13: Man. 771 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 3: All right, long as it's not cold. All right, coach, 772 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: see you money? 773 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 7: All right, brother, take care? 774 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's pick our parlay of the week NFL. Okay, 775 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: here's the deal. I'm gonna do money lines. We're doing 776 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: four money lines. And some of these money lines might 777 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: seem a little easier than others and some will not be. 778 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: But I'm going all money lines. I'm feeling pretty good 779 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: about these, and we're gonna go first jets at bills 780 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: which is probably the easiest. If I'm money lining it, 781 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: it's probably the easiest money line ever. Or is it 782 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: You ready to be shocked? Naw, you shouldn't be. All right, 783 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: Bill's money line easy. They're still trying to get that 784 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: buy over in the AFC. We're going Bill's money line. 785 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna go Packers money line over the Vikings. 786 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: So you heard what I said. Okay, and it's in Minnesota. 787 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: Like I said, the Bills one was easy, that was 788 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: the one, no problem. Packers money line over Vikings. 789 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 9: This was a little scary. Bones, of course, some. 790 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 3: Gotta be scary. 791 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: We're going Colts money line over the Giant, and you go, well, 792 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: that can be pretty simple. But Anthony Richardson, he's a 793 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: different person every game. And then finally Raiders money line 794 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: over the Saints. 795 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 9: I think about that. Oh gosh, what a toilet bowl? 796 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: What a toilet bowl? 797 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 9: That's why, Hey, you know what, dude, if you believe 798 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 9: in it, do it. 799 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: We did a four gamer because I think that's that's 800 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: where it is.

You know, they were going to 871 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 16: be opportunities for us to hit some shots, and we 872 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 16: were able to do that. 873 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 13: We missed on some too, but on the whole. 874 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 16: Offensively, it was about staying on schedule and a lot 875 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 16: of that channels obviously through our quarterback run and you know, 876 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 16: our run game is is pretty multiple. So I felt 877 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 16: like we were able to win physically at the point 878 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 16: of attack on offense and create the space we needed 879 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 16: to stay on schedule and that allowed us to extend 880 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 16: drives and have opportunities to puncture the end zone. 881 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,959 Speaker 13: Defensively, you know, this. 882 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 16: Was a game where we were we were really interested 883 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 16: in and stopping the quarterbacks ability to extend the plays 884 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 16: with his feet. Obviously, we knew that the explosive passing 885 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 16: game was going to run through number two and you know, 886 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 16: we were just trying to a limit their opportunities by 887 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 16: possessing the ball with our offense and then be you know, 888 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 16: absorb some of their plays without allowing to score explosive touchdowns. 889 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 13: We we did that well enough, you know, to end 890 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 13: up winning the game. 891 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 16: I think there's a few a few we went back, 892 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 16: specifically the third down that they were able to get 893 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 16: the ball over top of us, and again credit to them, 894 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 16: they made the play they needed to make. But you know, 895 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 16: we we we got some things to tighten up defensively, 896 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 16: but what we needed to have happened was we set 897 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 16: a ten possession game, which it ended up being nine 898 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 16: possessions for their offense, you know, we needed to be 899 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 16: able to punch and counter punch, so you know, we 900 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 16: needed to sync up at the right times with with offense, 901 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 16: defense especial teams. We did that, you know, created a 902 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 16: couple of turnovers that were that were huge for us 903 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 16: one including the pick six, and then we needed to 904 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 16: win on special teams and we needed to create a 905 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 16: fuel position advantage, forced them to go to the long field, 906 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 16: try to get us on the short. 907 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 13: Field, and then again we were able to accomplish that 908 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 13: as well. 909 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,479 Speaker 16: That's kind of the makings of, you know, what would 910 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,919 Speaker 16: be a winning performance for us against anybody. Certainly when 911 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 16: you're playing a team like Alabama, you can't you know, 912 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 16: you can't miss on your strategy and think you're gonna 913 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 16: have a chance to win it. 914 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: When you go on at halftime, did you make macro 915 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: adjustments or did you just reinforce what you had already 916 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: set pre game. 917 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 16: A lot of it is just kind of looking at what, 918 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 16: you know, what is the plan that they had for us, 919 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 16: and let's make sure we're clear on what those things are. 920 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 16: You know, Defensively, it's like the special formations that you're 921 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 16: seeing that they know. 922 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 13: They're going to come back to. 923 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 16: Offensively, it's you know, how are they defending the option, 924 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 16: how are they defending your replays? And what are they 925 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 16: what are they doing in their box that tells you 926 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 16: this is kind of their plan moving forward. And then 927 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 16: to the team, you know, it really was to me 928 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 16: about kind of almost kind of taking some of the 929 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 16: emotion out of the moment, which I. 930 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 13: Know sounds weird. 931 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 16: I mean, look, I'm a I get excited and fired 932 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 16: up and can get emotional in the game. I just 933 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 16: felt like we needed to focus on the fact that 934 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 16: we've been in this situation before that you know, it's 935 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 16: not going to take anything extra from us to close 936 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 16: the game out. You know, we needed to come back 937 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 16: out and focus on again our strategy, playing the cleaning game, 938 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 16: you know, and just stop by stop possession by possession, 939 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 16: you know, closing the game out. So we took our 940 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 16: time before we left the locker room just to kind 941 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 16: of like everyone settle, focus on what we want to 942 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 16: accomplish here in the next thirty minutes and a credit 943 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 16: to our team. 944 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 13: You know they did just that. 945 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 3: Is Diego just like a dog.

It's not like he's looking for the attention. 959 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 16: I mean he just he. 960 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 13: Sits front and center of every team meeting. 961 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 16: He's right in front of me every time after practice 962 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 16: on a knee, locked in and focused. 963 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 13: He carries my message to the team. 964 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 16: He builds confidence in the locker room by making subtle 965 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 16: connections with players and creating closeness that way. But when 966 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 16: he crosses the lines, he just has a swagger about 967 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 16: him and it's infectious. Everyone sees it and believes in it, 968 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 16: and you use the word dog, like he's a dog 969 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 16: you want the ball on his hands in critical moments. 970 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 16: He's proven throughout his career and certainly in his time 971 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 16: here that every time he takes a. 972 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 13: Snap, you have a chance to win. So we're glad 973 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 13: he's on our team. 974 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 16: And for me personally, I mean, this guy represent everything 975 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 16: I want this program to be about. And he's helping 976 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 16: us put a product on the field that's fun and 977 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 16: exciting and and you know. 978 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 13: He gets a lot of credit and he should. I 979 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 13: think that. 980 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 16: You know, the other guys that are playing alongside him 981 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 16: have done a really good job, especially in our front, 982 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 16: to open up space receivers, blocking down field. We just 983 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 16: have such a different competitive makeup offensively and defensively right now. 984 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 13: That's helping us find ways to win. 985 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: Only got a couple of minutes love with you, and 986 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: we appreciate you fitting a sin because everybody wants to 987 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: talk to you. 988 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 3: Bell of the ball is what I would say. Got 989 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 3: you are the bell of the ball right now. How 990 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 3: in the world. 991 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: And I know you're going to find a way to 992 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: do it. But Kentucky, you have Kentucky coming up. I mean, 993 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: this is the big subs that I've seen in maybe 994 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: my life one of them. But how in the world 995 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: do you get your guys to forward face now after 996 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: being celebrated like so mightily over the last couple of days. 997 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think the real challenge is that the celebration 998 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 16: won't stop. You know, we internally we've turned the page. 999 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 16: Yesterday we got to work on Kentucky. So now we 1000 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 16: took time to enjoy in the team meeting, just kind 1001 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 16: of the fruits of our labor. You know, put some 1002 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 16: clips on film that I felt like showed the toughness 1003 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 16: we played with, celebrated players of the game, so on 1004 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 16: and so forth. But you know, we've we've made it clear, 1005 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,919 Speaker 16: and by the time we were leaving practice last night, 1006 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 16: you know, there's no room internally for us to you know, 1007 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 16: we you know, we burned the game and release it 1008 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 16: to our past. 1009 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 13: It's over. Every ounce of our mental. 1010 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 16: Energy needs to be focused on our next opponent, which 1011 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 16: is Kentucky, which is a really good SEC team. 1012 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 13: It's a tough team on defense. 1013 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 16: It's a team that knows how to run the football 1014 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 16: and has exposive playmakers on the perimeter. And you know, 1015 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 16: Mark Stoops is the consummate program builder, and they've always 1016 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 16: been a tough out and they are going to be 1017 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 16: ready for us. I'm sure you know they're talking about 1018 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 16: the last time we went up there, which was twenty 1019 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 16: twenty two, and we were able to pull off a win. 1020 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 16: Last year at our home stadium, we spotted them twenty 1021 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 16: one points all turnovers, which is a brutal way to play, 1022 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 16: and you know, we have a lot to prove in 1023 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 16: this game. I think inevitably, right our kids are going 1024 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 16: to class today and they're going to meet high fives 1025 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 16: and congratulations on campus. Inevitably, there's going to be positive 1026 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 16: noise surrounding this program, which I think certainly can be 1027 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 16: a great thing. But we have to maintain the mental 1028 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 16: focus and discipline to realize that we can be respectful 1029 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 16: to all the people that are again celebrating the You know, 1030 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 16: what we put on film on Saturday and what we 1031 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:02,280 Speaker 16: put on display, But Saturday only matters now, and we'll 1032 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 16: only understand the meeting of Saturday from reflection at the 1033 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,919 Speaker 16: end of the season. It only matters if we're able 1034 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 16: to leverage it and pull momentum from it, and that 1035 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 16: means that we have to get back in our process 1036 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 16: and attack this process with commitment and energy so that 1037 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 16: we can be ready to play a good game against 1038 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 16: a really tough opponent on Saturday. 1039 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: Last ten seconds of this interview, we're gonna clap for me. 1040 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 3: Yes, how we end it right here, let's go. 1041 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,479 Speaker 1: I'm super happy for you, coach, super happy to see 1042 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: like the culture. I mean, it's a Cultures are like 1043 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: humongous boats. It doesn't matter the industry. It's like, yeah, 1044 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: it takes a while to turn it. It's not like 1045 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: a little car. It's a big old ship. And watching 1046 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: what you're able to do and what you're doing is 1047 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: really really been fun and motivating, even for myself.

Bobby always Man coach. 1051 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 1: Next up is Eli drink Witz from the University of Missouri. 1052 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: Coach drink was a season ticket holder at the University 1053 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: of Arkansas and now just enjoys trolling the University of Arkansas. 1054 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: And I'm an Arkansas fan and had not been able 1055 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: to spend a little time with coach drink Witz and 1056 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: talkt to Coach drink here, I would be annoyed too, 1057 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: but I respect the troll game.

Yeah, he didn't ask us to remove it, 1064 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: but I felt it was better for all instead of 1065 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: a few clicks that we just eliminate that because he 1066 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: went after another SEC coach and I thought, I don't 1067 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:35,240 Speaker 1: know if he knew we were recording, but just in case. 1068 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, Coach Drink's awesome. Zara had a pretty good year. 1069 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: Didn't meet the expectations I think that they had on 1070 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: them at the beginning of the year as they were 1071 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, I thought to be putting the CFP, but 1072 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: here he is coach Drink from Missouri. Let me ask 1073 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 1: about bye weeks because I know what why players like 1074 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: bye weeks? 1075 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 3: Why do coaches like bye weeks? What will you do differently? 1076 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 17: First off, you get to just take a deep breath. 1077 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 11: You don't have this constant churning in your stomach like 1078 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 11: you know you got something on Saturday. It's going to 1079 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 11: determine the happiness of about six and a half million people, 1080 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 11: including yourself, and you get to kind of be normal. 1081 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 11: Like my daughter had a volleyball game last night, and 1082 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 11: so I got to go pick her up from the game. 1083 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 11: When the bus got back. I'll get to go watch 1084 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,280 Speaker 11: my daughter's T ball games on Thursday night. Saturday, another 1085 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 11: daughter's got two volleyball games in the morning, so you 1086 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 11: got you just kind of get a sense of normalcy, 1087 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 11: and it's just a little bit of. 1088 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 17: A time to take a deep breath. 1089 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 11: I think from a football standpoint, you can actually work 1090 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 11: on things. 1091 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 17: You know, it's easy to say. 1092 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 11: Hey, we got to get better this week, but when 1093 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 11: there's a game coming and you have all this game 1094 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 11: planning stuff you have to do, there's not a whole 1095 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 11: lot of just moments where you can focus on fundamentals 1096 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 11: and improvement because you've got to get the schemes in 1097 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 11: for that week. 1098 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 17: You've got to get the preparation in. 1099 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 11: But in a bye week, again, you don't have an 1100 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 11: opponent on Saturday, that opponent yourself, so there's really more 1101 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 11: time to focus on on Hey, this twenty minutes of 1102 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 11: practice is going to be specific to getting better. Five 1103 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 11: minutes on third downs, five minutes on team run five 1104 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 11: minutes on motion adjustments. 1105 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 14: So that's probably the best thing about it. 1106 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 3: Are you the bell of the ball in Columbia? Can 1107 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 3: you grocery shop? 1108 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 13: Yeah? 1109 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 17: I can grocery shop. You find it funny? 1110 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 11: The other day I was driving my car to stop 1111 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 11: light and there were two college aged students who had 1112 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 11: their phone up next to the window taking a picture, 1113 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 11: and I just looked at him and was like, if 1114 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 11: you'll just tell me, I'll smile for the picture. I'm 1115 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 11: always worried that they're going to catch me picking my 1116 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,800 Speaker 11: nose or something while I'm driving or singing to myself 1117 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 11: in the car, but I'll say this, I don't let 1118 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 11: it affect me one way or the other. I just 1119 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 11: know I got to wear a hat when I go 1120 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 11: to the grocery store instead of going all wild and free. 1121 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: I had a call or call the show and they 1122 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: were doing a paper on grit and she was like 1123 00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: she got through the phone lines and she said, hey, 1124 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 1: would you talk about what you think grit is? And 1125 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: I think my career has been mostly based off perseverance, right, 1126 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: like not doing a very good job and getting up 1127 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: again and doing it a little better and a little 1128 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: better because I've naturally not been that gifted at anything. 1129 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: How would you define grit and who are a couple 1130 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: of your grittiest players? 1131 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:18,359 Speaker 6: Man? 1132 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 11: I love that you asked this question. Gritz the stubborn 1133 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,839 Speaker 11: refusal to quit. I mean, that's all it is. It's 1134 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 11: just you refuse to give up, and it's passion plus 1135 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 11: perseverance over time, Like what are you willing to endure 1136 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 11: to accomplish what you want to accomplish. I think Brady 1137 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 11: obviously is a great example of grit. I think Cody 1138 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 11: Schrader last year was an extreme example of grit. I 1139 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 11: think when you look at this year's running backs, Marcus Carroll, 1140 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 11: Nate Noel, those two guys are really gritty players who 1141 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 11: had to overcome a lot and bet on themselves, refuse 1142 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 11: to give in to the outside noise to achieve what 1143 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 11: they want to achieve. I think Johnny Walker defensive end 1144 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,280 Speaker 11: for me, came in at one hundred and ninety seven pounds, 1145 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 11: had four wisdom te t taking out within the first 1146 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 11: week of him being here, and now he weighs two 1147 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,280 Speaker 11: hundred and fifty six pounds. 1148 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 17: Was the MVP of the Cotton Bowl. 1149 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 11: It took him four years to really earn significant playing time. 1150 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,879 Speaker 11: But instead of pouting, instead of trying to go into 1151 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 11: a different situation, he just said, I'm going to sustain 1152 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 11: excellence every day, and that's really what. 1153 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 13: You have to do. 1154 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 14: You know, we have. 1155 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 11: We had a group of Navy Seals come in and 1156 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 11: they said winning is reserved for those who are willing 1157 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 11: to pay the price. And that's kind of our thought 1158 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 11: process this year, like what price are we willing to 1159 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 11: pay to win? And you've got to be willing to 1160 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 11: outlast people. You've got to be willing to sustain it 1161 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 11: even when it's not going your way. 1162 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 5: Coach, at the end of the game, you know, I 1163 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 5: see the two coaches go and they meet each other. 1164 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 5: What can you possibly tell each other, especially if you've 1165 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 5: lost the game, Like what's that conversation like? Or do 1166 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 5: you are you thinking? Like what am I going to 1167 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 5: tell him? As I walk up there? 1168 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 11: You know, I've had some awkward conversations with the head 1169 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 11: coaches across the deal. Honestly, you know, when you're the 1170 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 11: winning coach and you're going across the field to the 1171 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 11: guy who's lost, you realize and know. 1172 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 17: How much pain they're in right then, and really. 1173 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 11: All I'm trying to do is give them some some 1174 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 11: sort of like comfort or something, because man, the hardest 1175 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 11: thing to do is to swallow all your emotions and 1176 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 11: then go in there and address your team. So that's 1177 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,240 Speaker 11: really what I'm doing. Whenever, whenever they're they're saying something 1178 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 11: to me after they're whipping my butt, it's usually as 1179 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 11: quick as I can just shake their hand and try 1180 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 11: to gather my thoughts and emotions before I address the team. 1181 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 11: But you know, I have such a tremendous amount of 1182 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 11: respect for the head coaches in this league. You know, 1183 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 11: it's a it's a fraternity of really good men, and 1184 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 11: you know, we don't always get along, we don't always 1185 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 11: agree with each other, but there is a level of 1186 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 11: respect there. And so you know, when you get a 1187 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,800 Speaker 11: chance to visit with another SEC head coach, you always 1188 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 11: treat it with a little bit of respect. 1189 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: I think a bit the pre game would be awkward 1190 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: if you're expected to talk and you don't really like 1191 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: them or know them. Like we have guests in studio 1192 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: and there there are you know, celebrities that either I 1193 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,239 Speaker 1: don't like or I don't know them. We have to 1194 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: like do small talk for like six minutes before this, 1195 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: and that's torture for me, and I got to imagine 1196 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: just the human nature of it there. That's probably the 1197 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: same situation. So the pre more than the post. The 1198 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: post you can get out over. But the do you 1199 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: have to go talk to the other head coach before 1200 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: the game? 1201 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 14: Well apparently you don't have to. 1202 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 11: Ed Or Doron didn't come shake my hand before the 1203 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 11: first time we played them, and that was really the first. 1204 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,359 Speaker 17: Time and only time I've ever had that happen, So. 1205 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 14: I guess you don't have to. 1206 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: Are you're supposed like that's the thing you're supposed to like. 1207 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,239 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's kind of a you know, it's 1208 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 11: kind of a sportsmanship deal. I tell you when I 1209 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 11: come into that the most is when you have to 1210 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 11: do the Friday pre game media because there are some 1211 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 11: media that you know, have been taking shots at you 1212 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 11: or you know, shots at your team, and then you 1213 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 11: got to go sit there and act like you're going 1214 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 11: to be anybody and give them all the information that 1215 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 11: they want to ask. So that one's always the one 1216 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 11: that you're like. 1217 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:12,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, final question, coach, if you're struggling emotionally mentally, 1218 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: who professionally can you call who's your mentor. 1219 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 11: Well, you know, there's a couple of different people that 1220 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 11: I can reach out to. 1221 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 17: From a spiritual standpoint, there's. 1222 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 11: A guy in Boone, North Carolina named doctor Dick Furman 1223 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 11: who's been a really a person of great character and 1224 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 11: integrity for me for the last six years, and. 1225 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,880 Speaker 17: The highest of highs I can expect to get a 1226 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 17: text from him that says. 1227 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 11: T y L which stands for thank you Lord, or 1228 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 11: the lowest the lows I can get a text from that. 1229 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 11: It's going to say thank you Lord, because you just 1230 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 11: realize that you're blessed to get the opportunity to do this, 1231 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 11: and you realize that your future is in his hands 1232 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 11: and not to get caught up in the anxiety of it. 1233 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 11: From a coaching standpoint, you know, coach Malson's obviously a 1234 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 11: guy that I can reach out to that we exchange 1235 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 11: ideas back and forth from. 1236 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 14: So there's just different people like that. 1237 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 11: But in the but in those two situations, those would 1238 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 11: probably be the first two phone calls.

I know coach Bilama 1256 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: a bet from when he was at Arkansas. Now, what 1257 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,839 Speaker 1: happened with this one was he did not know we 1258 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: were recording. But because we don't have good radio voices, 1259 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 1: no one ever knows we're recording that. They were just 1260 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 1: talking to them and he did I'd say some stuff 1261 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,560 Speaker 1: and they reached out and said, would you guys mind 1262 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 1: removing that He didn't know you're recording, and we were 1263 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: like one step ahead of you once they're already on it. Yes, 1264 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 1: made his name at wisconstantly crushed, went to Arkansas, has 1265 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 1: turned the Illinois program around, big contenders. Coach Bilima one 1266 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 1: of the bigger personalities. Really great guy here he is 1267 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: from University Villinois. Coach Brett B. 1268 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 3: Lama, Hey, coach, how you doing, my friend, coach? 1269 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: If you found it to be most effective to get 1270 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: your guys used to loud cheering or music, because you've 1271 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: done this a while, Like what's most effective in practice. 1272 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 14: Still by far just the crowd noise in the stadium, 1273 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 14: you know, just just putting it out there. I mean today, now, 1274 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 14: what we do do here is I removed my defensive 1275 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 14: coaches and players because I want it to be so 1276 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,879 Speaker 14: loud you can't really conduct the practice for the other 1277 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 14: side of the ball because on offense, when we run 1278 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 14: to play, we crank it and then we'll turn it down, 1279 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 14: you know, in between while we want to correct it 1280 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 14: and then they'll crank it way back up. 1281 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 1: So is it ever so loud you cannot hear in 1282 00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: the in helmet communication? 1283 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 14: Does you know? It does get loud? 1284 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 7: Now? 1285 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,600 Speaker 14: We actually not a lot of teams are using them, 1286 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,239 Speaker 14: but there's actually muffs that you can put on your 1287 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 14: helmet that our quarterback. You'll see our quarterback doesn't have 1288 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 14: ear holes because we put a canceling device over his 1289 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 14: ear hole. You'll see a lot of quarterbacks going like this, 1290 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 14: that's because they don't have that device. But it really 1291 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,839 Speaker 14: for me, I've always wore double ear muffs. It's kind 1292 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 14: of kind of like the movie Old School, Old Cool 1293 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 14: ear muffs, earmuff Like, I always wear double ear muffs 1294 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 14: because I just want to hear the voices that I 1295 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 14: need to hear. But yeah, for a quarterback, it definitely 1296 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 14: can be that way. 1297 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 3: Coach, what's all my like in the locker room? What 1298 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 3: kind of leaders? 1299 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 13: You know? 1300 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 14: What? 1301 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,240 Speaker 13: Bobby? 1302 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 14: First off, you know, his dad was a team doctor 1303 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 14: a Mississippi State, so he's been around college football his 1304 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 14: whole life growing up, been around it, seeing it, lived it. 1305 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,800 Speaker 14: So his awareness to the to the world and college 1306 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,760 Speaker 14: football is really really high. His football IQ extremely gifted 1307 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 14: ball awareness. He's also a tremendous kid of faith, so 1308 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 14: like he's very fade driven. But it's not like these 1309 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 14: guys that you know, come across preaching and teaching everything. 1310 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 14: Like he's just a normal guy. He's very empowering, but 1311 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 14: a and He's very deliberate in his relationships. He it's 1312 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 14: not a guy that he's out in front screaming and 1313 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 14: you own, like some quarterbacks. 1314 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 7: Like. 1315 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,320 Speaker 14: He's a very relationship driven guy and just really exudes 1316 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 14: confidence that carries over to every position. 1317 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,719 Speaker 1: I'm want to ask a really dumb question because I 1318 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 1: just don't know the answer. Is there food at halftime 1319 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 1: in the locker room? 1320 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 9: A good question? 1321 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah? 1322 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 3: Like and how much did someone eat? 1323 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 14: Well? Even even going back to my time at Arkansas. 1324 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 14: You know, so Ben Herbert, who was my strength coach there, 1325 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 14: we kind of developed it when I was at Wisconsin. 1326 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 14: He's done with the Chargers out there with hardball, but 1327 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 14: we do a lot of PB and j's to do 1328 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 14: anything that has a high nutritional value to give energy. 1329 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 14: You know, some kids just really don't want to eat 1330 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 14: on game day. So what we try to do is 1331 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:59,240 Speaker 14: override any issues we might have with high energy protein 1332 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 14: content in shakes and snacks. 1333 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 13: Right. 1334 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 14: So there's there's also a lot of gummies like good gummies, right, 1335 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 14: gummies that are for the purpose of nutrition and anything 1336 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 14: that can peak their performance. We actually have a nutritional 1337 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 14: crew that will pre make and set up maybe probably 1338 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 14: about half our roster at halftime where they'll slam a 1339 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 14: shake that they pre ordered, they love, and we just 1340 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 14: want to get calories in them. So it's a it's 1341 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 14: a very specific thing. Yeah, it's a lot different. Back 1342 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 14: when I was in school, we had chicken broth that 1343 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,800 Speaker 14: was our high heightened during the cold games once in 1344 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 14: a while. But yeah, the nutrition factor into performance is 1345 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,640 Speaker 14: at a it's and I'm sure it's soon. It's going 1346 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 14: to continue to get better, but it's at a high 1347 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 14: level now that that's the way. I'm not exactly a 1348 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 14: walking dictionary of nutrition. So like that that's in their world. 1349 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 5: Coach, you fly off for your job, What kind of 1350 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,440 Speaker 5: flyer are you? You put headphones on, you listen to music, 1351 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 5: you do work, you read, Like, what do you do 1352 00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:57,839 Speaker 5: on a flight? 1353 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, we got a pretty long flight going 1354 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 14: out here to Oregon. So we'll actually practice Thursday morning 1355 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 14: and leave Thursday afternoon, so I'll watch Thursday's practice. I 1356 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 14: actually got it one of if you've seen them, but 1357 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 14: it's the there are glasses that you plug into your 1358 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,919 Speaker 14: computer and then they I don't have to be looking down. 1359 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 14: I can lay back and I've had the video and 1360 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 14: it's I got to remote in my hand, I can 1361 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 14: watch that. It's just like I'm in front of a 1362 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 14: big screen. It's it's I can read emails that way, 1363 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 14: I can read articles, I can watch film. It's it's 1364 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 14: and now I usually got a pair of headphones on, 1365 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 14: listen to a little little country, little little R and B, 1366 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 14: little little reggae. Kind of depends on. 1367 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 3: The mood before a big game or any game. 1368 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: Do you like your guys to be like right on 1369 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,840 Speaker 1: the edge, fired up or And we've had fighters that 1370 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 1: we've talked to who will tell us they do not 1371 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: like to be fired up because they're not thinking as 1372 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: clearly that if they're calm, they're actually able to take 1373 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,919 Speaker 1: and navigate through their thoughts. Right, And there's a fine 1374 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 1: line somewhere that's correct. Where do you stand on the 1375 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: psychology of that going into a game or going into 1376 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 1: a big game? 1377 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 14: Well, I think first it's culturally based by what you 1378 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 14: do kind of throughout the year, right, Like if you 1379 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 14: try to go to uh, you know, the gate the 1380 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 14: day of the game and try to figure your crew out, 1381 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 14: you're going to have a long time coming, right. So 1382 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 14: we try to get a pulse on this we build it. 1383 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 14: I really call it that flip flop Friday. I kind 1384 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 14: of relax on Fridays because I want to put our 1385 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 14: guys at ease. I'm more comfortable, they're more comfortable, you know. 1386 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 14: We do little things like we call we'll have a 1387 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 14: lot of mandatory dinners, but we'll call it. We'll call 1388 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,440 Speaker 14: it mandatory flow, which means just kind of come and 1389 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 14: go as you want. But then the last meal, we 1390 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 14: have our last pregame meal, which is always fours out 1391 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 14: four hours out before pre before the game. So if 1392 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 14: we're playing at two o'clock, the meal is at ten o'clock, 1393 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 14: we're at six o'clock, it's at two o'clock, and that 1394 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 14: is everybody comes in mandatory seeded. We'll start off with 1395 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 14: the prayer, you know, we have it regimented away. We 1396 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 14: eat just to kind of begin to lock them in, 1397 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 14: you know now. But then they'll go to their rooms 1398 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 14: and I'll say, hey, go call text, FaceTime, whoever you 1399 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 14: got to do. Let's get it out of the way. 1400 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 14: So when you come down here two and a half 1401 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 14: hours before kickoff, we know what we're doing, right, and 1402 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 14: then we kind of a gras transition to being ready 1403 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 14: to go. I think game day is totally different, Bobby 1404 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 14: than practice. You know, in those moments, it's about it's 1405 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 14: not what happens, it's how you react to what happens. 1406 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 14: So if you have kids that are on edge because 1407 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 14: they think they're going to be, you know, handled in 1408 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 14: a way that's combative on game day, you're going to 1409 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 14: have usually a bad result. So we're kind of a 1410 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 14: kind of a in the moment, let's let's learn from 1411 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 14: the moment, but move on. 1412 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 1: Are you ever internally so emotional? But you're able to 1413 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: have the thought I should not be outwardly emotional because 1414 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 1: of how we'll make others feel A react like a kicker, 1415 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 1: miss the kicker you like mother, But you've got. 1416 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 3: To really dial it in and keep it in. 1417 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 14: So true story. I think you evolve in time as 1418 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 14: you get older, right, you learn more from your failures 1419 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 14: than your successes. But I've always been a guy that 1420 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 14: really just believes the teaching moments are all around us. 1421 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 14: It's just a matter of what you want to teach, right, 1422 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 14: And I came full circle. I was a young coach. 1423 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 14: I'm probably in my second or third year. I've recruited 1424 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 14: a kid by the name of James I, who was 1425 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 14: a running back out of Saint Thomas Aquanas in Fort Lauerdale, Florida. 1426 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 14: He went on to play for the Patriots for about 1427 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:09,040 Speaker 14: ten years, won several Super Bowls. He was a true freshman, 1428 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,000 Speaker 14: really good player for US. And he was making a 1429 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,439 Speaker 14: run and he reached the ball across the end zone 1430 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 14: and I got punched out and created a touchback scenario. 1431 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 14: And I literally was on the headset and everybody was like, 1432 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 14: you can't do that, and I heard it. I said, 1433 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 14: I told everybody, hey, shut up, I'll handle this moment right. 1434 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,479 Speaker 14: And I went over and he was on the bench 1435 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 14: and I just put my hand on his head and 1436 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 14: I leaned down by his knee and I said, hey, 1437 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 14: my friend, you are such a great player. You are 1438 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 14: going to score so many touchdowns in this stadium and 1439 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 14: in your career, and you'll play beyond here. But just 1440 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 14: know we're brought you here to run the ball, not 1441 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 14: reach the ball. Right, There's three occasions that you can 1442 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 14: reach the ball. Fourth down, two point plays in the 1443 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 14: end of game. Right, Otherwise they're always staying and we'll 1444 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 14: play the next down. And it came full circle. His dad, 1445 01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,720 Speaker 14: I went on to the coach of the Patriots, and 1446 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 14: his dad told me he watched it on TV. Right, 1447 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 14: And then lo and behold his dad was killed in 1448 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 14: a car accident, like a number of two years later, right. 1449 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 14: And I think about the profound effect of that moment, 1450 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,479 Speaker 14: that teaching moment with that kid, to have a dad 1451 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 14: witness it on TV and the life lesson that was 1452 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,520 Speaker 14: taught is truly why you do this job. 1453 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,360 Speaker 1: At what point in your career, coach, did you realize 1454 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: And I say this as someone who my high school 1455 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: football coach, I didn't have a dad, was a big 1456 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 1: part of my understanding of discipline, right, Like, because I 1457 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: had no mal influence, I had no one. 1458 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 3: At what point in your career did you realize that 1459 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 3: you were going to be that? 1460 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 1: And that was a real responsibility for a lot of 1461 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 1: these kids. 1462 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 14: It's a great point. I say it all the time. 1463 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 14: We do a little presentation when I have a kid 1464 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,440 Speaker 14: come in my office that we've offered a scholarship to 1465 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 14: or a visit. We talk about a timeline on this earth. Right, 1466 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 14: we all start at zero and average age goes to 1467 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 14: seventy two. Hopefully we all go beyond that. But we 1468 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 14: talk about during that window. You know, I usually get 1469 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 14: a kid when he's eighteen years old, right, And if 1470 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 14: you just do the math, that's a twenty You know, 1471 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 14: twenty five percent of your seventy two year lifeline is 1472 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 14: already done before I got you. Right, So I'm going 1473 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 14: to get you from eighteen twenty one twenty two, And 1474 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 14: during that four year window, it's the first time you're 1475 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 14: out of your environment that you've known your whole life. Right, Like, 1476 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 14: whether it's a parent, an uncle, a coach, a grandpa, 1477 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 14: I get everything right, like I have step parents, whatever 1478 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 14: it is. And I always tell our kids, like, listen, 1479 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 14: I don't want to be your dad, you already got one. 1480 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 14: I don't want to be your uncle or your brother, 1481 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 14: your cousin, your friend, or your high school coach. I 1482 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 14: want to be the best college coach you could ever have. 1483 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 13: Right. 1484 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 14: And because of that, I'm going to at times sound 1485 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 14: like a parent. I'm going to at times tell you 1486 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 14: things you don't want to hear, right, And I would 1487 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 14: tell you the more I tell you things, especially if 1488 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 14: you don't agree with them, it's because I love you, 1489 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 14: not because I hate you. Too many people in this world, 1490 01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,440 Speaker 14: like try to tell them the things they want to 1491 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 14: hear and avoid to the things they need to hear. 1492 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 14: So I think that's a really big part of coaching 1493 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 14: is you're going to sound like a parent a lot. 1494 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 14: The good news is they're not right. But the part 1495 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 14: that is real is that you can affect their life 1496 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,240 Speaker 14: for a long time and probably in a time in 1497 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 14: their life where they need it more than ever. 1498 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 3: All right, coach, good luck, We love you, buddy, take care. 1499 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 1: It's the most wonderful time of the year for getting 1500 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 1: in on all the hoops, the football, the hockey action 1501 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,640 Speaker 1: At DraftKings Sportsbook in the season of Giving, we're being 1502 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: gifted college football and college basketball, pro football and pro basketball, 1503 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,800 Speaker 1: pro hockey too.

So here he is from Kansas State. 1538 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,280 Speaker 1: Here is coach Chris Climbing. Hey, coach, good to see you. 1539 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 1: Thank you for the time. How you doing, Hey, pretty good. 1540 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 1: I do want to go back a year or so 1541 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: we were working out with Cooper BB when we were up 1542 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 1: there with you guys. 1543 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 3: You keep up with Cooper at all with Cowboys. 1544 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 18: Absolutely, he's come back for at least two games, but no, 1545 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,439 Speaker 18: probably weekly. We send a text back and forth. Super 1546 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 18: proud of him being the starting center in the NFL. 1547 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 1: Man crazy too because and Cooper and I follow each 1548 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 1: other on Instagram since then, and when he was drafted, obviously, 1549 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,920 Speaker 1: super pumped for him. But the transition, and maybe you 1550 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 1: could add a little of this, the transition because he 1551 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 1: did not play center for you, but now he's playing 1552 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,120 Speaker 1: center with the Cowboys. How hard is that to do 1553 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 1: on the offensive line? 1554 01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,959 Speaker 18: It's really hard. But the fact that he played all 1555 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 18: four positions, but that I think lent himself to understanding 1556 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 18: all the positions and knew that he could because he 1557 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 18: was the guy that communicated all of our checks and 1558 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 18: adjustments and IDs and stuff. Anyway, and all along when 1559 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 18: he was here and continue to get better and better, 1560 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 18: people kept asking us, do you think he can be 1561 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 18: a center? Do you think he can be a center? Well, yeah, 1562 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 18: we did from a mental side of things. Now from 1563 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 18: a physical side of things. He just had to put 1564 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,000 Speaker 18: the time into it. And obviously he did that because 1565 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,400 Speaker 18: to make that transition and be the start, be named 1566 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 18: the starter by week one was pretty remarkable. 1567 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: So teams were reaching out to you to ask if 1568 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,520 Speaker 1: they if you thought, like his mental capacity was that 1569 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: of a center. Some more so, was it his size? 1570 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Like why were teams looking at him as a center. 1571 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 18: All the fact that he's not six foot six and 1572 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 18: six ' five and stuff. He's a you know, I 1573 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:40,919 Speaker 18: don't know what is he six three and a half 1574 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 18: six ' four. And they knew he would be an 1575 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:49,280 Speaker 18: interior guy somewhere. And the center position is so valuable, 1576 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 18: so hard to find that when you have somebody with 1577 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 18: the acumen that he has of understanding the game and 1578 01:06:55,840 --> 01:07:00,439 Speaker 18: understanding defensive fronts and being able to communicate. I thought 1579 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 18: it was going to be a natural for him to 1580 01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 18: be able to move inside there. Then he just had 1581 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,520 Speaker 18: to work on the physical side of getting the snaps 1582 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 18: and movement, and I knew he could do it because 1583 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 18: he's such a great athlete too. 1584 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Is there ever a time with a player when you 1585 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 1: will modify a bit of how they play or what 1586 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,400 Speaker 1: they do for the next level, even though it may 1587 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: not be completely advantageous to what you're doing right then. 1588 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 18: Not completely, But I also have a responsibility to give 1589 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 18: these guys the best opportunity to have success at that 1590 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 18: next level and if it can fit with what we're 1591 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:37,920 Speaker 18: doing as a team. 1592 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 7: Yes. 1593 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 18: Absolutely. We had a guy that actually started for the 1594 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 18: Bucks the other night named Josh Hays. He's a safety 1595 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 18: slash corner and I had him at North Zakota State 1596 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 18: and he was a corner and then we got him 1597 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 18: out of the transfer portal to come here and he 1598 01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 18: assumed he was going to play corner and I said, Josh, 1599 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 18: we're going to play you safety here. A. It's going 1600 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 18: to help us be a better team, but B, I 1601 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 18: think it's going to market you better in the NFL 1602 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 18: because you're not a six foot three guy that's two 1603 01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 18: hundred and fifteen pounds. That's a corner that a lot 1604 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,919 Speaker 18: of the teams are looking for. Josh is a six foot, 1605 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 18: one hundred and ninety five pound kid. And I said, 1606 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,559 Speaker 18: if you can cover slot guys, you're going to have 1607 01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,880 Speaker 18: a place in the NFL. So it's not only going 1608 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,040 Speaker 18: to help our team, but it's going to help your 1609 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 18: draft status. 1610 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 14: And they up getting. 1611 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 18: Drafted maybe in the fourth or fifth round by the Bucks. 1612 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 18: And I think he's in his third year now and 1613 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 18: now he's a starter for him. But his ability to 1614 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 18: move and showcase what he could do as a safety 1615 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,040 Speaker 18: rather than a corner helped us as a team and. 1616 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 13: Helped him in the draft. 1617 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 1: What's Avery Johnson like as a dude? 1618 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,919 Speaker 18: Gosh, A, he's awesome. He's so much fun to be around. 1619 01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 18: He's the unquestioned leader on the offense, but he's very confident, 1620 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,599 Speaker 18: has some swagger, but he's not a cocky kid. He's 1621 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 18: a guy that you know the room lights up when 1622 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 18: he comes in, but he doesn't want that, if that 1623 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 18: makes sense. He doesn't want to be the center of attention. 1624 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,720 Speaker 18: He's just always going to be Some of it is 1625 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,240 Speaker 18: his hair, right, He's going to be the center of 1626 01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 18: attention because of his hair. But he's a very humble, 1627 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,960 Speaker 18: driven kid that what people don't see about Avery is 1628 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 18: all the things that he does in our community for youth, 1629 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 18: for disability, children, for people in need. I know he's 1630 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,839 Speaker 18: helping a principle back home that was diagnosed with cancer, 1631 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 18: of raising money. Those are the things that he's not 1632 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 18: putting out on social media, but maybe should be emphasized 1633 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:48,759 Speaker 18: a little bit more because it's. 1634 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:49,799 Speaker 14: Not just about the football. 1635 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 13: The football is just a very small part of his life. 1636 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,640 Speaker 1: When you look for a leader, like what are those qualities? 1637 01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,680 Speaker 1: And the leadership qualities can be very different. I mean 1638 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,200 Speaker 1: we have them even here amongst this organization. Like what 1639 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: are the qualities that you see in leaders that you 1640 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 1: feel like go best with your program? 1641 01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 18: For starters that have to be able to hold themselves accountable, 1642 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 18: it's always easy to say the best player and the 1643 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 18: work ethic and his last one off the field and 1644 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,840 Speaker 18: the first one on the field. You know, those are 1645 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,960 Speaker 18: the things that people I think think about, but I 1646 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,919 Speaker 18: think of it as one he's one that holds himself 1647 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 18: accountable and he's not going to talk to talk unless 1648 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,320 Speaker 18: he can walk the walk. And we have a kid 1649 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:41,360 Speaker 18: named Austin Moore that's one of our captains that epitomizes 1650 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 18: what a what a leader is and what I call 1651 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,719 Speaker 18: when I say a leader, he's a servant leader. In effect, 1652 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 18: he makes everybody around him better because of his presence. 1653 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 18: And the best leaders are ones that really don't care 1654 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 18: if at the end of day, we're going to be 1655 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,720 Speaker 18: best friends for the next forty years, you're going to 1656 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 18: respect me because I'm going to hold myself accountable, but 1657 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 18: I'm not going to be afraid to hold you accountable. 1658 01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 18: And you know, in our sport, in college, kids have three, 1659 01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 18: four or five years to make a legacy, and you 1660 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 18: can make a ton of friends, and you're already going 1661 01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 18: to make a ton of friends. But the only way 1662 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,640 Speaker 18: you're going to make a legacy is if you have success. 1663 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 18: And the only way you're going to have success is 1664 01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:32,679 Speaker 18: by holding your peers accountable. And that's what I find 1665 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,760 Speaker 18: in the best leaders is they can hold themselves accountable. 1666 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,759 Speaker 18: They can walk the walk, but they are not afraid 1667 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 18: to call out their best friend, not afraid to call 1668 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 18: out a teammate that is maybe equally as talented. It's 1669 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,680 Speaker 18: easy to call out the guys that maybe aren't as 1670 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 18: good or don't do things. 1671 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 13: The right way. 1672 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 18: But when you can call out the other best players 1673 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 18: and they respect you for it, that's the best sign 1674 01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:54,879 Speaker 18: of leadership. 1675 01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to get in the weeds a little here 1676 01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 1: because I respect your entire career as a coach, what 1677 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 1: you've built at every level. But I want to talk 1678 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:06,760 Speaker 1: about practice tape. So you're a practice, You're doing what 1679 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,639 Speaker 1: you do, you're ceoing, you're making sure that the macro 1680 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: things are done right. Do you ever get on and 1681 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 1: watch some tape and see somebody that maybe you did 1682 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 1: not know was competing at a higher level than maybe 1683 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have caught if you didn't see it on tape. 1684 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 18: One hundred percent. I do it every day, And not 1685 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 18: only do you do, you have to do it, but 1686 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 18: you have to recognize that individual or those individuals for 1687 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,360 Speaker 18: their efforts. And a simple thing would be we have 1688 01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 18: our Scout team Players of the Week every week, the 1689 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 18: guys that aren't playing but gave us a chance to 1690 01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,880 Speaker 18: be successful by the look that they gave us each 1691 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 18: day that week that maybe we're down a defensive tackle 1692 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 18: and he had to take every rep in practice for 1693 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 18: the scout team or a linebacker whatever, maybe as well 1694 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,400 Speaker 18: as special teams. And I think it's important that not 1695 01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 18: only myself, but some of our best players thank those 1696 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 18: guys and recognize those guys. 1697 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,559 Speaker 13: We have a neat deal that we do after wins in. 1698 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,800 Speaker 18: The locker room where we hand out a hammer because 1699 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 18: we talked about pounding the stone all the time. We 1700 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 18: hand out a hammer to somebody and then they get 1701 01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:24,479 Speaker 18: to recognize somebody, and oftentimes it's a defensive lineman that 1702 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,720 Speaker 18: is recognizing Hey, Scout team offensive lineman so and so, 1703 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,439 Speaker 18: or Scout team wide receiver as a defensive back. Thank 1704 01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,759 Speaker 18: you for pushing me this week, man, you made me better. 1705 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 18: But I think you have to recognize those guys and 1706 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 18: they have to know that they're a valued part of 1707 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,639 Speaker 18: your organization and program. 1708 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about your dad for a second. 1709 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,559 Speaker 1: What do you think you've taken from him, even if 1710 01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 1: you don't realize until you got older, that you had, 1711 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 1: like as a. 1712 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,599 Speaker 18: Coach, competitiveness and toughness not even in question. My dad's 1713 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 18: the toughest man I know. He's still at five years old. 1714 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 18: Armchair quarterback I have. 1715 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 3: Does he text you at all?
