You know, the bigs take longer to develop. 178 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: So if you have to, if you have to restart 179 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: a program, rebuild a program, you better go in all 180 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: in on the bigs early, right away and get more 181 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: hits than not because typically are going to take two 182 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: and three years to develop. You might hit on one 183 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: or two Pennay soools, you know, that's just my noise. 184 00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: You might hit on those guys, but the other ones 185 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: are to take some time because we haven't really done 186 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: much of the portal in terms of the old line 187 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: one or two, you know, here and there. But yeah, 188 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: we're all in on the trenches on both sides, because 189 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: then that becomes an iron sharpens iron type of arena 190 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: out there every single day. 191 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: And you know what, Miami was really good. 192 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: Despite all the fame and fortune that goes to the 193 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: wide receivers and skill guys, we always had great trenches. 194 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: Man. The guys up front were always just elite and 195 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: made it, you know, impossible for other teams to beat us. 196 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: You know, Coach, I'm so curious about like the approach 197 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: in this era. You hear some coaches complain about like 198 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 4: nil and the transfer portal and the transient nature of football, 199 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: But You've always struck me. 200 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: As an old school coach. 201 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 4: How does old school work with new school players? 202 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 3: It just works? You know. 203 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: I think it's if old school and I think of 204 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 1: old school, I think it like the right stuff. I 205 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: think I'm a high school coach who is the best 206 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: mentor and teacher I ever had. I mean, the guy 207 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: looks and acts like Sunset increase from and the principles 208 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: and values of that man are identical to Jimmy Johnson 209 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: and Nick Saban, guys that I worked for and played for. 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: And so I don't think that ever changes. 211 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: And I don't think any one of us would want 212 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: our own son to go to a program that caters 213 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: to you know, having a you know, guys doing things 214 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: and having a disregard for doing things the right way. 215 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: So old school is is hard, intense and passionate coaching, 216 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: but it's about the right things. It's not just to 217 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: make noise and whatnot. So I think it works awesome. 218 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: I think it's still the best approach. And so that 219 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: you're don't find yourself in a hostage situation, a hostage crisis. 220 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: You recruit your tail off to make sure that if 221 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: a guy's kind of going sideways on it, that you 222 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: invest a lot in have another one ready to come 223 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: in that's better, right, so that you are never compromising 224 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: the culture, and so the whole organization sees that, hey, 225 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: no matter the talent level, no matter what the situation is, 226 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: we're going to do things a certain way as it 227 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: relates to the entire team. And that is really as 228 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: spoken and has held strong in our organization. 229 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: Coach, when you look at the teams and you you 230 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 2: mentioned Nick Saban and being a part of that organization, 231 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: there the teams that have had this long sustained success 232 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: that have been you know, college football playoff contenders every 233 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: single year. I go back to conversation I had with 234 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: Stacy Sterles at Georgia when he I asked him before 235 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: they played TCU in the championship game and I said, coach, 236 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: I was practice this week? He said out Tuesday was 237 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: a bloodbath. He said it was ones versus ones, and 238 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: that's that's how they do it. And you've you've experienced 239 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: that and built it the same way. How much good 240 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: on good can you afford to do? 241 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: Uh? 242 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: No, one guys. You don't want to lose guys. You 243 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: want guys to go down. But man, you talk about 244 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: iron sharpens iron when you get those heavyweights going against 245 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: each other in practice. 246 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: It's every day. 247 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: You have to do it every day and you might 248 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: have to limit a guy here and there. But if 249 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: you don't build a Callus football team, you're no good 250 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: in November. I'm just you know, if you start catering 251 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: and did you start getting the mentality, oh let's just 252 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: get him to the game, what are you actually getting 253 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: to the game someone that maybe couldn't fight through the 254 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: bumps and bruises that come with football. Now, if a 255 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: guy is truly injured, you have to I mean, you 256 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: do the right thing. But the pains and the riggers 257 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: and the demands of football, the things that come with it. 258 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: You've got to it's your responsibility. If you want guys 259 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: to play in the NFL, they've got to understand and realize. Brother, 260 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: when you're at that next level. I mean, you see 261 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: guys playing with torn biceps, right, I mean the nature 262 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 1: of the shoulder, the knee, some of the things that 263 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: come with it. So it's our due an obligation to 264 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: protect them, but also push some of the things that 265 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: are again healthy. You don't get risk. I know that 266 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: answers a question, but no, good on good. You got 267 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: to do it, man, yea. The mount of juice that 268 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: it brings to practice, the way guys get better. 269 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 3: You just you know, you say, hey, man, don't die 270 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 3: for a ball. Man. 271 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: You know it's a little bit out of hand, and 272 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: sometimes like the w W, it's like, you know, macho man, 273 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: and then stum.

And I think as coaches when we're on 334 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: the road, we fail to seek out trusted resources, coaches, 335 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: people in the community that have been around some of 336 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: these players since savement knee high and can tell you 337 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: everything about them because this is when the streets talk 338 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: certain parts history. They can give you the four one 339 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: one on just about everybody, and you better listen to 340 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: them because they really do know. And then that grants 341 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: the opportunity to expand your you know, your research and 342 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: some of the recon you do on guys. But rather 343 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: that part of it, I mean, it's you got to 344 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: dig deep. And it has become like the biggest hit 345 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: or misfactor as it relates to the guys that you signed, 346 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: as it relates to recruiting, you've got to find the 347 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: guy that's knocking out the park on intangibles because it's 348 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: getting harder and more competitive. There's money involved. Now there's 349 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: there's it's not even third parties. It's third, fourth, and 350 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: fifth parties now involved. And so you better have someone 351 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: that either has a great, you know, circle of people 352 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: and support system and that is really locked in and 353 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: wired the right way. 354 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: I want to ask you a quick follow up on that, 355 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: because we're all of similar age. When we were coming 356 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: through the process, I feel like recruiting started your june age. 357 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 3: A couple of coach, what do you guys? 358 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: I graduate? I graduated college two thousand BUCkies older than me. 359 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: What were you by? 360 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: Yeah I'm ninety four. Okay, younger, but go ahead, you look. 361 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not far away. But coach, you go through 362 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 2: that process, like I felt like recruiting, it was like 363 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: your junior year when that started heating up. And now 364 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: it feels like, man, when do you have to start 365 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: doing work on these kids? Like yeah, how young do 366 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: you have to be paying attention and talking to those 367 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: sources and those resources around these kids? 368 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 369 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: But remember it's a lot different now too, because like 370 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: when we were in college, tell me if we don't 371 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: share the same experience. The day you report for running 372 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: like your running tests, I mean half the guys came 373 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: in with construction belts, another. 374 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: Guy with right. 375 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, school, you had to have a summer job 376 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: and you ate a hot dog and a ho ho 377 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: and walked out there. Yeah, got to practice the next day. Now, 378 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: these guys have like trainers since they're seven, eight, nine, 379 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: ten years old, so their development is accelerated. So how 380 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: early is early enough when you spot one and you 381 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: see those just elite traits and elite you know specs. 382 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't think you hesitate your homework, but you get 383 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: on it quickly because it is getting accelerated more and more. 384 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 4: Coach, you got to ask you this, and I'm to 385 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 4: ask you this from a high school coach who's trying 386 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 4: to figure out how to deal with high standards and 387 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 4: expectations and falling short of those. So when you jumped 388 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 4: in Miami, there was a lot of optimism and you 389 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 4: can turn around, it's gonna happen right away. How did 390 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: you stick with it and stick with the program when 391 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 4: it didn't ignite right away like some people on the 392 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 4: outside expected it to. How did you notice stay true 393 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: to your plan and your process. 394 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question. 395 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I've been watching Miami from from a 396 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: long ways away for twenty years, okay, and you remember 397 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: right like our background, you know, to Cuban parents, we 398 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: never saw them. Two jobs night school gave us to 399 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: our high school coach, introduce us to football, change our 400 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: lives forever, fever grateful to Miami. So starting this coaching journey, 401 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: it took me across the country, you know, where I 402 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: had never been before, and I never thought about coming 403 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: back to Miami, but it was always the number one 404 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: goal and dream I'd watched for twenty years. 405 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 3: Miami just. 406 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: Not it and tearing itself apart, even some of its 407 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: own people tearing at it, and I just I was sick. 408 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: I just I had enough, man, I was I was. 409 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 3: I was pissed. 410 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: And then talking to you know, Joe Chevaria and our president, 411 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: some of these guys, this job was as much about 412 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: building it as it was being a tough sob and 413 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: willing to deal with all the crap that was going 414 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: to come with it. 415 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 3: You have to be. 416 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're affected by all the noise and 417 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: the building process, the crap that comes with it, come on, man, 418 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: you look at what we had to walk on the 419 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: field with on certain games. 420 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: You wouldn't. 421 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: I won't even get into that because it sounds like 422 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: I'm at rosters and coach, I'm I don't want to 423 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: do that, but you had to literally, you know, like 424 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: I had to land a plane, get the wife and kids.

There is something 505 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 5: refreshing about that and watching the way that the college 506 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 5: football landscape is gone. 507 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: I also found an interest when you're talking about recruiting, 508 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: how there's so many different layers and groups that you 509 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 2: have to work through now.

I would think it's probably never been harder 516 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: just because of what they're looking for, you know, in 517 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 2: a school versus just what it used to be. 518 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 519 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 4: No, Look, he knows the landscape.
