1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: What do you think of your group? Well, we're not 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: the staff assembled yet. We've got the head coach and 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: the general manager. They've got assembled the rest of the staff. 4 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: But they're off to a good start. Their communication is 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: very natural, um and Uh, they like each other, they 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: know each other's philosophies. Uh, they have a similar vision 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: going forward. So I think we're off to a good 8 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: start with both of these guys. We know about the 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: ability as of day Ball as an offensive coordinator, but 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: what do you think of him as a man, a leader, 11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: a communicator. Well, I think you saw a little bit 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: of that in that press conference there. He's very genuine, 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: down to earth. He believes in having relationships with people. Um, 14 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: and he's a people person, and I think he's gonna 15 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: fit very well in the building. I think he's very 16 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: inspirational too. I think they'll get guys to perform to 17 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: the best of their abilities. He's obviously the second straight 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: time you've hired a Bill Belichick disciple, and they haven't 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: had a lot of successes NFL head coaches. What makes 20 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: you think that Brian will be different? Well, I think 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 1: his background, his ability to work with Joe. I think 22 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: what he did with Josh Allen and that entire Buffalo offense. 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: I think his presence, which I think you saw as 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: he was up on that stage, I think all of 25 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: those things combine to give him the best chance of 26 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: having success. Obviously, you never know until they get in 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: and they start playing games and stuff. But uh, uh, 28 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, we we like what we're seeing so far. 29 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Brought up, you were up to Josh a piece right there, 30 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: But how you know his ability to go ahead? How 31 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: much was that sort of the differentiator with him or 32 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: did that kind of play into yours? You're thinking it 33 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: was a factor for sure. I mean that that's his 34 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: job here. Even we have a quarterback that we have 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in, but who's you know, had 36 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: some issues here, mostly due to the way we handled him. Uh. 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: And you know, a big part of Brian's job is 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: going to be to try to get the most out 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: of Daniel and try to put us in a position 40 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: where we can make a fair evaluation of him. We 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: haven't been able to do that so far because of 42 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: the way we handled him. John, give the reasons to 43 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: believe you're going to hack up all the questions, John, 44 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: do you believe do you believe you've given the fans 45 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: reason to hope and reason to believe that there's good 46 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: things ahead. I think so, Bruce, but that only that 47 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: only lasts until we started playing games. But the reaction 48 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: obviously have been positive so forth. But that only goes 49 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: so far. I think we're off to a good start, 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: but but that'll go away quickly if we don't get 51 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: off through a good start during the season. But um, 52 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: I think we've got the right guys in place now 53 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: and it's up to us to make it work. Knowing 54 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: that they've had a past relationship the past four years 55 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: and even going back to it certainly was a factor. Yes, um, 56 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: you have to have a general manager and a head 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: coach that can communicate with one another, that respect one another, 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: and then are going to collaborate on all the important 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: decisions of the day. Uh, And I have a lot 60 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: of confidence if that would be the case with these two. John. 61 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: I know you, um, Um, were thought that maybe Patrick 62 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: Graham would leave after last year. You know, when you 63 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: value from the fact that he likely will be back, 64 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: how important is that you? That's very port and I 65 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: mean he's very well respected in this building. The players 66 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for him, as do I. 67 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: He's a terrific defensive coordinator. Look for his own sake, 68 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: I hope he gets a head coaching job. But as 69 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Brian said selfishly, um uh, you know, we'd be very 70 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: happy if he stayed. He was pressured for you guys 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: to get this right both general manager and head coach 72 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: and turn this situation around. I feel a lot of 73 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: pressure to do that. I mean I always feel pressure 74 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: going into every season, and given our recent history, probably 75 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: more so than ever. Do I feel that right now? 76 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: But um I think we have the right guys in 77 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: place now. We just have to give him the resources 78 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: to let them do their jobs. The Bills Rebuilt was 79 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: so successful? What are you The Bills Rebuilt was so 80 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 1: successful so quickly, and what are you hoping that Joe 81 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: and Brian can. I think they had the right combination 82 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: of the head coach and a general manager, and then 83 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: they had the right selection at quarterback. I think we 84 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: have the right a combination of head coach and general manager. 85 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: I also think we have the right quarterback, and hopefully 86 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: they'll be able to get the most out of a 87 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: lot of hiring Dable. What stood out about him that 88 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: maybe different than your last year hirings or really convinced 89 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: you that he could be the person who changed this. 90 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: You know, I think you saw a little bit of 91 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: that um during the press conference. He's very uh, down 92 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: earth natural, gets along with people, believes you're building relationships. 93 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: I think he had a great vision, uh for for 94 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: where he wants to take us. And I think the 95 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: fact that he and Joe are so comfortable together have 96 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: similar philosophies. I think that's problem. What say, John, where 97 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: your program being there? Right now? You have four one 98 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: season tough calpsy calf situation. I mean you have to 99 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: tear it down? Or can you turn around quicker? We're 100 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: in the last place. There's no place to go but 101 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: up about Jane jot Tool Brian to Joe. We haven't 102 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: ask about his health yet. Are you convinced he will 103 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: be healthy enough to play next year and then he's 104 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: got camping all the rest of the Yes. So our 105 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: medical people are very confident that the net in jury 106 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: will be a factor. John Kim Brian Jabile succeed here 107 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 1: if Daniel does not, In other words, if he tries 108 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: to work with him and it doesn't pan out, is 109 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: there still patience and intent on building something long term 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: past Daniel. With Brian, I would say yes. I mean, 111 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, Daniel will get a chance next year and 112 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: we'll hopefully be able to get a fair evaluation of them. 113 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work out, you know, we'll go 114 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: to Plan B. But we have a lot of compliments 115 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: that it will work out. Johnny retrospect you. You went 116 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: through all the interviews Um last time we talk to 117 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: you with before Brian Flores. How much did the friction 118 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: with Brian and Chris career play into why you didn't 119 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: hire Well, listen, we we We had five terrific candidates, 120 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: and every one of whom I probably would have been 121 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: comfortable with at the end of the day. But I 122 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: think what Brian has been able to accomplish up in 123 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo UM and Brian's uh a track record with Joe 124 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: and their level of comfort with one another, I think 125 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: that's what tip the scales at the end of the days. 126 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: A lot a lot about culture, and heard a lot 127 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: about culture the last two years too. How close are 128 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: those cultures to each other, how much overhaul has to 129 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: be done with that? Well, I think I'm going to 130 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: let them make that determination. I think they both believe 131 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: that there are a lot of good pieces, you know, 132 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: in the building on the team, but that we certainly 133 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: have some shortcomings that we're gonna have to address. Fortunately, 134 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: we have some draft capital it'll help us do that. 135 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: But I'm not looking at this as a as an 136 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: overnight turnaround. This is going to be a process and 137 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: however long it takes is going to be up to them. John, 138 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: as you walk out of here today, do you walk 139 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: out of your talking everything out? As you walk out 140 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: of here today, do you walk out of here with 141 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: your chest pumped out? Do you feel good about the 142 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: future of this franchise. I'm not walking around anywhere with 143 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: my chest pumped out after the last a few seasons 144 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: we've had Bruce, But I do feel good about the 145 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: future the franchise. Yes, John, Why was there you mentioned 146 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: Brian's offensive background with Josh? Why only one offensive coordinator 147 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: among all the searches. Everybody else was defensive minded. You know, 148 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: I don't think we were focused on offensive coordinator per se. 149 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: We just wanted to get the best person for the job, 150 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I think Brian has a lot of 151 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: qualities that you look for it. He has a certain 152 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: presence about him. He has leadership skills, um, people like 153 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: working with him, as players that revere him. UM. So 154 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: I think those are the factors. Obviously the fact that 155 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: our offense is so challenge right now. UM. I think 156 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: he brings a certain skill set that will help us. 157 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: Varied with varied with the opinions on Daniel, because you see, 158 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: you've seen pretty sold that okay, we can get this 159 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: right with Daniel Jones. Mean, did you get the sending 160 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: opinions and then did you get people who were not 161 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: so sure on it? You know? I think we did 162 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: ten general manager interviews and five head coach interviews and 163 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: all every single interview was positive every bodday. Now. They're 164 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: not willing to say that they think he's going to 165 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: be the next Patrick Mahomes or anything like that, but 166 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: they were excited about the potentially has and if and 167 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the possibility of working with him, and that to me 168 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: was was reassuring because that's the way we feel as well. John. 169 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: When you have a candidate who's never been a head 170 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: coach and never had the opportunity to command the entire 171 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: team or room as an owner, how difficult is it 172 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: to ascertain that he can do that? Job, and it's 173 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: the most difficult decision by far that you we're making 174 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: this business because you just don't know. You have to 175 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: try to get to know the individual as best you can. 176 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Talk to the people who've worked with um, try to 177 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: get an understanding as to whether he has a presence 178 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: and your leadership skills UH and the knowledge of XS 179 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: and os, and then you make your choice and then 180 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: you live with it. But that you don't know until 181 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: they actually start getting in the building and start building 182 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: the problem a second, sorry, Joan. People around the league 183 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: say Brian's a really nice guy. Was concerned that is 184 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: too nice of a guy to to have this kind 185 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: of opportunity order Now, I don't think that's a concern. 186 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: I think he can be tough when he needs to 187 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: be tough. That's that's, you know, what we found out 188 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: about him. So and certainly Joe's had the experience with 189 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: him in Buffalo and he's seen his command in the room, 190 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: and I think that's something very comfortable with. What did 191 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: you do different coach with quite quite with his personality 192 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: someone who's as relaxed or is colorful and means that 193 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: when going to your process, is that a factor at all, 194 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's certainly made him likable right from the beginning. 195 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: And I don't know that I'd say we've never had 196 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: a coach with that type of personality, but but he 197 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: seems like somebody that will be very easy to work 198 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 1: within the building, that people will respond to and and 199 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: want to work with it, And that was certainly something 200 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: that took notice of a away. You guys have talked 201 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: up Daniel Jones and talked around this bottom line. Would 202 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you be surprised if he's not your week one starter? Yes? Why? 203 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: What I mean? Because I would be? I mean, well, 204 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: I guess, I guess. Sorry. Sorry. You mentioned last time 205 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: we talked to you that the coach and the gym 206 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: still had to do in a full evaluation before we 207 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: committed to him. But now it sounds like you're fully 208 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: committed to him. They're going to make the final determination 209 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: that you're asking me. Would I be surprised if he's 210 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: not start? Yes, I'm surprise he's not started? Was just 211 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: disappointing or did it catch you off? Garwin dan Quinn 212 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: pulled his name out like he'd been a serious It 213 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: was disappointing because he was a serious candidate, but at 214 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm very happy with with 215 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: Brian Daniel Judge you reached out to shown at all. 216 00:09:52,640 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: But why not John? Why not John? For you personally? 217 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: I know you you want to get this turned around 218 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: yesterday if you had your druthers. So how hard is 219 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: it going to be for you to be patient? Because 220 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: this is a process. It's gonna be hard, but I'm 221 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to force myself to do it. I've brought 222 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: out of patients over the last few years. But you know, 223 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: I also understand that this is a long term project. 224 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: This is not an overnight fix last season. And observers 225 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: that John resources like, what does that mean? Like in 226 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: terms of what you're gonna do to help?
