1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: When you just kind of a bigger picture thing when 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: you look back, you know, since you've taken over and 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: things like that, and I'm sure you had a list 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: of priorities and things you wanted to do as an 5 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: introm it's all done on the fly. Obviously. Has it 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: been more challenging and more difficult than even you might 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: have imagined. 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: In terms of what in terms of everything. 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: Being the head coach of the New York Football Giants. 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 3: No. 11 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: I love being the head coach the New York Football Giants. 12 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: And it's a privilege to do this job. The challenges 13 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: and the things that come with it are part of 14 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 2: the job, and absolutely I look forward to it every day, 15 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: coming into work to attack it every single day and 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: give our players the best opportunity to be successful. And 17 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: that's really where my mind's at, with the players, with 18 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: the staff, and give them everything I got. 19 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: Has anything been like a whoa? I didn't know that moment? 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: As far as you know, I'm sure you observed and 21 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: you've been around head coaches, but like, oh, I didn't 22 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: know that that was all part of it. No. 23 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: Every day brings in a new learning experience and a 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: new opportunity to grow So I've just been taking those 25 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: experiences to continue to learn from. You know, when there's 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: decisions to be made and to be made, I'm going 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: there and make those decisions with the best intentions for 28 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: the team. 29 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: Okay, one more, you guys always talking. You've been a 30 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: part of teams as a player, as a you know, 31 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: as an assistant, as a coordinator. That you know, the 32 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: spring and the summer are vitally important, right for for building, 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: for bonding, for learning, for installing. 34 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 4: All that stuff. 35 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: Right in your position, you don't get that, you know, 36 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: you get thrown in, you know, ten games into the season. 37 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: So is it is there an evaluation that comes from that, 38 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: do you think versus a head coach who gets it back? 39 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: When head coaches are hired and then they install and 40 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: they roster shaped and the d you know what I mean, 41 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: the right way versus. 42 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Yeah, this this is the situation that that 43 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: that I'm in, and you know, I'm gonna take full advantage 44 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: of it, you know, and and the opportunity I have 45 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: to help this team, my fingerprint on the team, I 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: will obviously. Yeah, you know, when you when you're you know, 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: have the opportunity to do it from the start. You 48 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: have a way to kind of change certain things, you know, 49 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: and build the culture the way you want to build it. 50 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: But we have a great team here, we have a 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: great staff here, and I look I look forward to 52 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: coming to work every single day. I love working with 53 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 2: these guys. They're giving it, They're giving us everything they 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 2: got and we're gonna find a way to get a w. 55 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, Thank you Dan tug In. 56 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 5: Hey, Mike, I got two specific ones from day I 57 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 5: know you explained, you know what went into not elevant 58 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 5: or returner, But why use Holling That role is not 59 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 5: something he's done very much. He's obviously very valuable on defense. 60 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 5: We've seen I got like a dory get hurt doing it. 61 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 5: Like does that factor in it all? Like he's a 62 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 5: very important defensive player, not really return specialist. Can we 63 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 5: find somebody else to do that? 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about it, and we have a lot 65 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: of confidence in Holland to go back there and just 66 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: really catch the punts, even though it was just in 67 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: a fair catch, just to just to catch it for us. 68 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: Just we had a couple other spots on along the 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: team that we wanted to make sure we had covered. 70 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: In terms of depth, and so as we kind of 71 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: went through the roster, our elevations the number counts there, 72 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: it just made the most sense to make Holland a 73 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: guy that we trust to go back there. And you know, honestly, 74 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: we kind of went to the game thing. He would 75 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: fare catch a bunch of them and he had some 76 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: opportunities to return it. So and he did a nice 77 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: job with that. So I wasn't you know, I was 78 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: very pleased with how we handle it. 79 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 5: Gotcha and then you score to make it twenty nine 80 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 5: to twenty with three forty three left. I think that's 81 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 5: a situation where the analytic was a go for two, 82 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 5: you kicked the extra point. Just curious what was the 83 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 5: thought process there. 84 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: There were yeah, there there was definitely a discussion to 85 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: whether or not to do to kick it or go 86 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: for two. We just decided just to kick it and 87 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: then you know, go get another touchdown and go for 88 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: two again. At that point, that's kind of just you know, 89 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: and sometimes you're in the heat of it, you know, 90 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: you're going it's at fifty to fifty, there's really not 91 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: a sway either way. So we just decided just to 92 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: take it right there and make sure like when we 93 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: go kick, sorry, when we go score the next touchdown. 94 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: Now we know we got to go for two, and 95 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: a one is going to be a two score game, 96 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: so we're just really banking making a one score game. 97 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: Let's go score one more time, then go for two 98 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: to tie it, versus like, all right, you roll the dice. 99 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: If you go for two there and you don't get it, 100 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: now you still got to get you know, another touchdown 101 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: and then a field goal. So we're just trying to 102 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: keep it on one score game. Thanks Dan, I'm roh, Mike. 103 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 6: Just first of all, how did you guys come out 104 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 6: with injuries? And with Jackson in particular. I know, sometimes 105 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 6: the guys show up the next day and have some 106 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 6: symptoms from a hit. How is he doing? 107 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: It? 108 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: Sounds like everyone came out clean, you know, talking to 109 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: the guys in the locker room yesterday. You know, we'll 110 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: have a medical meeting here in a little bit and 111 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: go through each guy, but it sounds like we're pretty clean. 112 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 6: Jackson said that he feels like he's being treated differently 113 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 6: than other quarterbacks. I guess with regard to these concussion 114 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 6: tests and being taken off the field, do you do 115 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 6: you see that at all and are there ways to 116 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 6: fix that? 117 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 4: If that's the. 118 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: Case, I think I think the intent really behind, you know, 119 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: whether it's the referees, whether it's the guy, the medical 120 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: people up top, that it's all in the in the 121 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: you know, in the intent to help you know, player 122 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: safety and make sure these guys are are healthy and 123 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: they're not getting banged up and dinged up. So I 124 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: think it's you know, it's one thing that the league 125 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: has really made a big emphasis of. I think in 126 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: Jackson's particular case, I think they're hyper sensitive to just 127 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in general. I think they're hyper sensitive to you know, 128 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: especially if you haven't been a repeat guy and have 129 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: had another previous concussion. You know, they're going to be 130 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: sensitive to it. So, you know, it's kind of out 131 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: of my hands. It's kind of in the hands of 132 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: the professionals to make those decisions in the refs if 133 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: they feel like that's something that happens. Obviously, you never 134 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: want to have your you know, your starting quarterback have 135 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: to get pulled out of a game for a hit. 136 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: But you know, it's all in the with their right 137 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: intentions in terms of player safety. So it's kind of 138 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: where you know, where we're at in the league right now, 139 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: and you know, hopefully you know, is we get going 140 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: like those things don't have to pop up as much 141 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: because if you know, obviously you want to be pulling 142 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: guys out if they're not they're not injured. But I 143 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: understand the intent behind it. I understand the reasoning behind it. 144 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 5: Thank you, Evan Barnes. 145 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: Mike, just to kind of follow up with that, you mentioned, 146 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 3: you know how you can kind of maybe change that 147 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: just for looking at the tape. Do you think could 148 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: have seemed to us like it seemed to me at least? 149 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 3: Do you think that Jackson did a good job avoiding hits? 150 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: It seemed like he was sliding more not getting a 151 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: lot of contact. Obviously that twenty nine yards scrambled, I 152 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: you know, got tackled. But do you think the last 153 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 3: game you did a better job of not, you know, 154 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 3: taking those unnecessary hits that you guys called them. 155 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, I did. I think I thought you 156 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: did a nice job. He slid a few times, like 157 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: you said, I think when you know, in terms of 158 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: on the field scrambling, it's not like he's hit taking 159 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: guys head on anymore. Like he's he's picking an edge 160 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: and at least picking us off edge and trying to 161 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: get himself down and protect the ball, which is most 162 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 2: important to protect himself as well. So I think I 163 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: thought he did a nice job this week doing that. 164 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: And then going back to a dual obviously you have 165 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: to see the table a little bit more. You say 166 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: you played his tail off. Was there anything else that 167 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 3: stood out when he watched the tab as far as 168 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 3: just how he looked, how he was able to kind of, 169 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 3: you know, take what he learned from film and apply 170 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: right on the field. 171 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, I mean, Abdual just he put together 172 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: a good week of practice. It showed up in the game, 173 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: and you know, it's it's I was happy for you know, 174 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: anytime a young player can step up and kind of 175 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: start turning that page, turning the page and and improving. 176 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: But you know that now the challenge, just like it 177 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: is for everybody, is can you do that again? You 178 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: know you have a good game, can you stack another day, 179 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: can you stack another week? Can you stack another game? 180 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: And so that'll be the challenge for him, That'll be 181 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: the challenge for a lot of the guys who played 182 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: well on offense, defense, and special teams. 183 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,559 Speaker 1: Thank you. 184 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 5: Thanks Brian Dunlevy, Hey, Mike, Hey, run. 185 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: With Jackson. The talk last week from him and you 186 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: was about how good a job and Tim Kelly was 187 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 4: about how good a job he's doing taking care of 188 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: the ball. Then he threw that interception and bounced back 189 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 4: and had a nice second half. How did what did 190 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: you see on that interception when you watched it back 191 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 4: in the film, And what'd you think of the way 192 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: he responded to because we haven't seen him have to 193 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: bounce back from turnovers very often. What'd you think of 194 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 4: the way he bounce back? 195 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he thought you did a really nice job. 196 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: Obviously there's a little bit of communicy miscommunication on the 197 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: on the route and throw, and obviously you never want 198 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: to see that happen, especially in the two minute drill 199 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: and we're driving, you know, so the ability to the 200 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: ability all right, something bad happens, We throw an interception, 201 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: they return along and they get points. We go into 202 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: the half and for them, for really the offense to 203 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: kind of flip the switch, put that in the back 204 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: in the back burner and just focus on the task 205 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: at hand and go down and get a score right 206 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: out the half was really impressive and just a you know, 207 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: you know, tip of the cap to the offense for 208 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: doing that in terms of just executing and putting that 209 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: behind him and now going attacking the second half the 210 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: right way and talking with those guys at halftime to 211 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 2: coach Kelly. Tim Kelly doing a great job talking to 212 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: those guys and it's kind of resetting their minds and 213 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: then the players doing that as well. 214 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: Two more, I'm kind of all over the place with 215 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: these Your twenty twenty four draft class was a big 216 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 4: reason for optimism at the end of last year when 217 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: you guys were in a similar spot. How do you 218 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 4: think those guys, you know, as a whole, I'll just 219 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 4: rattle off the name so you don't have to think 220 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 4: of them. It's it neighbors is hurt, but it's THEO Johnson, 221 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 4: Tracy Phillips, Nuban muse out, like, how do you think 222 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: that class has done as a whole in its second year, 223 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 4: because it seems like most have not progressed, except maybe THEO. 224 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: But what do you think of that where that draft 225 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 4: class stands at the end of their second year. 226 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love I love those guys. I mean, are 227 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: between those guys our entire team. I mean, these are 228 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: guys that we depend on each and every week, and 229 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: you see them putting in the work. You see the 230 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: production that they're having, and you know, sometimes it's you know, 231 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: not necessarily shown up on the statu sheet, but it's 232 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 2: things the little things they do around the buildings, the 233 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: little things they do on the field, the communication, just 234 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: the energy they bring to practice, like those things. To me, 235 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: those matter as much as anything. And obviously the more 236 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 2: production they continue to have on the field, that will 237 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: show up for everybody else. But for me, when I 238 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: look at those guys and that class specifically that you're asking, 239 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: you know, I see a guy a group that's really consistent. 240 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 4: I appreciate that. And then just to go full circle 241 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: back to what Paul was asking in the beginning, you 242 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 4: obviously what eight teams brought you in for a head 243 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 4: coach interview, Mike, You were obviously at the top of 244 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 4: the list for a lot of teams. Is there any 245 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 4: concern for you that, like, you know, obviously this was 246 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 4: a really hard situation you were put in, that teams 247 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: might not recognize that for you going forward, that like 248 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 4: maybe this is gonna, you know, hurt your candidacy going 249 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 4: forward the results that you guys have gotten, or do 250 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 4: you expect people to recognize this was a near impossible situation. 251 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not. I mean, I really respect the question, ry, 252 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: I'm not really concerned about any of that stuff like 253 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: that would be super selfish of me to think about 254 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: that and what we're at in this season. My only 255 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: focus is on the players and the coaches and getting 256 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: guys ready to roll. I mean, we got we got 257 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: a great opportunity ahead of us with three games left. 258 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: Nothing's more important than this game right now against Minnesota. 259 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: So that's really where our mind's at. That's where my 260 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: mind's at watching the tape, you know, getting these corrections 261 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: made so that we can go and continue to improve. 262 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: And then let's get on the tape for Minnesota. Let's 263 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: go attack those guys.
