Well, coach, I appreciate 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: you taking some time. I know it's been a wild, 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: busy time. 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: For you here. Can can you walk us through this 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: decision process? 20 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: I mean we've talked to you before, obviously, appreciate all 21 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: the work you've done State and doing the draft stuff 22 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: over here with those white outs man and now taking 23 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 2: over as the coordinator. But what was this decision like 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 2: to accept this one? I know, this is not your 25 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: first opportunity that you've had. 26 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's a there's no clear, easy way 27 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: to navigate these things at times. I think for me, 28 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: the ability to win consistently is real, really important to me. 29 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: And so I've identified you know, USF as a place 30 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: that can be done for sure. 31 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 4: Uh. 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: You know, so that was a huge part just from 33 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: football wives. I mean, it was all about ball. The 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: connection with with some people it was important, but then 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: it was you know, seeing you know, connecting with the leadership, right, 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean, to be able to make sure we're aligned, 37 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: making sure that they understand, you know, the process is 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: going to be. It's not it just happened. It takes 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: a lot of work. And uh, they're kind of you 40 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: know coming in they're only you know, a couple of 41 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: months in, and the alignment they have there just felt right. 42 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: The communication felt right. Uh. And so you started painting 43 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: that picture and then you take it to your to 44 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: your life and your significant others and my family, and 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, they were very you know, passive and they're 46 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: very hold offish, but then as you continue to talk 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: and they loosen it up, it was almost like they 48 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: were the ones telling me, we're doing this. So uh, 49 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: it progressed. It progressed, you know, really well, organically, went fast, 50 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: made no mistake about it. But you know, I think 51 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: that coupled with the last piece, like if I was 52 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: going to leave or go somewhere, I really cherish home. 53 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I really to chaish that family feel. And I've always 54 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: felt even though I was born and raised and lived 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: a long time in Ohio, Florida was kind of always 56 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: my second home. Frankly, that's how we've always felt that way. 57 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: So it's just it was the alignment. It was all 58 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: of it. It wasn't just one piece. And uh, really 59 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: really excited. 60 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 4: You know, coach, I heard you talk about people, process 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 4: and purpose being critical to being successful. 62 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: Expand on that for us. 63 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: But the people that haven't heard you talk about those 64 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: tennis success. 65 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think people people drive everything. So again, 66 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: I only get long winded on us, but you know, 67 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that I'll start with this 68 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: from an athletics standpoint, like, there's a lot of guys 69 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: that are five ten to six two that weigh one 70 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pounds one hundred and ninety five pounds, 71 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: that you know, run a full four to five to 72 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: four to six five, Like, there's a lot of those 73 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: kind of players. So there's a lot of linemen that 74 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: are six two to six six that way, anywhere from 75 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: two seventy five to three twenty five. I mean, you 76 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: have all those measurements. I just feel like people, you 77 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: know their mental makeup and how they're wired, and how 78 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: they carry themselves and how they do one thing, that's 79 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: how they do all things. It's ultimately the best identifier, 80 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: best variable of success. And so you know, for us, 81 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: people is everything. You don't necessarily want the best guys. 82 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: You want the right guys, and the right guys are 83 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: much more important than quote unquote the best guys because 84 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the right guys become the best guys. So that's the 85 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: people part. You win with people. And there's a lot 86 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: more to that. And I al would say process wise, 87 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, your practice, 88 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: your record, your Saturdays are just feedback on how your 89 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: process went. In my opinion, So if you want better results, 90 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: if you want better outcomes, then change the process. Don't 91 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: continue to do the same things and expect different results. 92 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: That's that's silly. And then your purpose is just your 93 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: motivating factor. I think a lot of times when you 94 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: sit down and think about your purpose, whether you're why 95 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: or whatever that is, it gets lost from the day 96 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: to day and you may, you know, find it in 97 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: your hardest times. But if I can bring it out 98 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: and you pull you aside, ask you to you to 99 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: think of your why and now go run the rep. 100 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: I got a feeling it's probably the best rep you've 101 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: had all day. So why can't we capture that day 102 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: in and day out, rep after rep, week after week 103 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 1: to ultimately find the best version of yourself. So those 104 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: three pillars, to me, I think is the mainstay of 105 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: how things ultimately go. 106 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 5: Coach Red lewis here excited to chat with you. Congrats 107 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 5: on this opportunity for you. Thank you, This is this 108 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 5: is super cool. I've had such respect for your game 109 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 5: when you were playing in the league, obviously playing playing 110 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 5: in college too, And I was texting with one of 111 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 5: my college teammates, Justin Frye, who I know is just 112 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 5: super excited for you. 113 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Great dude, and as a man. 114 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, he really is man, and and he had had 115 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 5: great things to say about you and what he learned 116 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 5: from you in your time together there in Columbus. But 117 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 5: I want to know, like what you learned from others 118 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 5: that have led you to this moment. Who are your 119 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 5: biggest coaching influences that have kind of shaped who you 120 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 5: want to be as a head coach. 121 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you got enough time? Yeah, you know, 122 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: I'll go quickly and just rattle them off. I mean 123 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: I think that first my high school head coach Jack Rose, 124 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: just the way he was there for me, even for 125 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: transportation to get the practice, Like the impact that kind 126 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: of had on me. To my high school hurdling coach 127 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: Chad Palmer, which we used to watch. I watched more 128 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: film on hurdling in high school than I ever did. 129 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: Like football and like to become a technician at something 130 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: I think subconsciously like that made a huge impact on me. 131 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: Darryl Hazel at Ohio State, my college receivers coach. He 132 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: was there the whole time, between a great man, but 133 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: just the way he operated and the way he brought 134 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: me along and believed in me and all of that, 135 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: And I was very impressionable in the NFL as well. 136 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: But those early years are so important, and I think 137 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: that those ones just echo in your mind for a 138 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: long time, you know. I'd say, you know, the one 139 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: always that goes with me was Jeff Ireland in New Orleans. 140 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: I remember being as a rookie. He he identified I 141 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: had a hamstring. I had a hamsterring. He goes, man, 142 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: you're hamstering, all right, And I was like yeah, he goes, well, 143 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: if it doesn't get better quick, I'm about to find 144 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: somebody else. And then ever since then, I was like, yeah, 145 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to figure this out. So that made an 146 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: impact on me forever, and we're lifelong friends. But I 147 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: mean the ones, the ones at Ohio State, Jim Trussell, 148 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, I to this day, I wish I could 149 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: be in a staff meeting with him to see how 150 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: that operated, but to see how he operated as a 151 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: coach still echoes with me. I would say, as of late, 152 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: I mean coach Meyer, you know, be able to see 153 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: him operate and do it the way he did it, 154 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and then to flip the script to see the way 155 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: Ryan Day has done it. I think it was pretty impactful. 156 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: You know. I think that seeing those different viewpoints allows 157 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: you to know, like, just be yourself, fearlessly be yourself, 158 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: and yourself is enough. Don't try to be somebody else 159 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: or Coach Day did not try to be coach Meyer, 160 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: and coach Meyer sure is hacking and try to anybody else. 161 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: So I really appreciated that. I think that Coach Day 162 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: at the most recent I mean his ability to handle 163 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: the changing landscape of college football still be tough but 164 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: still support it from a love perspective, handle nil and 165 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: that new changing variable. So there's been so much to 166 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: learn from from Afar, but the day to day seeing 167 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Coach Day operate, seeing coach Philman come in into our 168 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: staff a couple of years ago, that was my head 169 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: coach in Miami. There were so many opportunities to learn, 170 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: very impactful, all very different, but I try to absorb 171 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 1: as much as I could. 172 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: Coach, one of the things I'm excited for you is 173 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: you've done such a great job and you know position 174 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: room and then taken over an entire side of the ball. 175 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: But I'm excited for you to get to build an 176 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: entire program and I know that's got to set you 177 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: on fire. But from a foundation standpoint, for coach hertline 178 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: head coach, what is the where are you starting here 179 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: as you build this thing? What's the foundation going to 180 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: look like? 181 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Foundation is always about the players? So what is best 182 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: for the players? And I think that my true passion 183 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: is developing individuals to go attack life and the NFL. 184 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's really my passion. Like 185 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: I love maximizing individuals. I just talked about the people 186 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: and how those metrics are such a wide range, but 187 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: ultimately how you're built mentally allows you to unlock everything 188 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: you want to unlock athletically. So it's about the players. 189 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: What's right for the players? Which coaches have the right 190 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: mentality to maximize these guys? Know I love some of 191 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: the coaches that have done more with less, you know, 192 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: all that kind of thing from a from a coordinator standpoint, 193 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: So there's a lot going into it. But I think 194 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if I'm trying to 195 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: do right by the players and I'm going to do 196 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: right by their development, trying to do right by the 197 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: honest communication, It'll find us in a good spot. So 198 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: I've leaned heavily on that, spend a lot of time 199 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: with those guys, and I look forward to continue to 200 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: surround them with the right guys. 201 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 4: Coach, I want to pick up on something that you 202 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 4: just said about being honest and direct with the players. 203 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: How did you develop that coaching style and just in 204 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: terms of just laying out there like it is regardless 205 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: of star factor and all that other stuff. 206 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: Well, I think you'd like to do, you know, or 207 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: rely on your ability to identify that you picked the 208 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: right guys, Like they came to your program for the 209 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: right reason. So if you did that properly, this is 210 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: what they want, you know. And again, you can only 211 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: coach guys and be as honest as guys as their 212 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: relationship allows. So you've got to spend time on the relationship. 213 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: That's really important. But if the relationships intact, it's it's 214 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: got to obviously come from a place of of improvement, 215 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: of love of I want to help you get there. 216 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: If I'm worried too much about hurting your feelings, like 217 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: we're just delaying the inevitable. Now, if certain players need that, 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: then that's what they need. That's that's a whole different conversation. 219 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: Our job is to maximize individuals. Our job is to 220 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: find what makes guys tick and how do we relate 221 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: to them, how do we get the best out of them? 222 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: And not everyone's the same. Trust me, every wide receiver 223 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: in that in the room I've been with is not 224 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: being the same. And I won't point out who is different. 225 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: But for the most part, you'd like to get like 226 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: minded individuals that want to be surrounded by elite peers 227 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: because I'll tell you what you guys know, like, there's 228 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: nothing better than peer pressure. If you can bring on 229 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: non scholarship guys, you can bring in guys year off 230 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: a year that won't be the best. It's uncomfortable when 231 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: you look over your shoulder and they're doing things the 232 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: right way. They're going to class, they're getting all their 233 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: academics done, and they're also balling on the football field 234 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: like that's that's that's the model, And you want to 235 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: find guys that want that smoke, not the one that 236 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: are scared of it. 237 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 5: Coach, So much of what we talk about here and 238 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 5: move the Sticks is about evaluation, right, It's about evaluation. 239 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 5: It's about implementation of players and personnel, and obviously that's 240 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 5: a big part of what you're talking about here in 241 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 5: your pillars and obviously in today's college football, there's a 242 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 5: lot of different ways. But in your mind, what's the 243 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 5: right way to build a personnel department now at the 244 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 5: college level, that helps you get that evaluation piece done. 245 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, evails are big, all right, that's a that's a 246 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: big part of it. Obviously, you're getting a little more 247 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: potentially ev ols from the portal, the guys playing at 248 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: least liked peers at least that it gives you some information. 249 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: There's some analytics out there that you can use just 250 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: to give you some reference points where you look at 251 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: your current roster and what the what are their analytics. 252 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: So when you kind of bought that up side by 253 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: side with somebody potentially looking to go somewhere else, I 254 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: can give you some information. There is still the eval 255 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: there is still the you know, get them on campus. 256 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: That's huge for high school. If you're not willing to 257 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: come to campus, then it's probably just not the right fit. 258 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: But I think those guys on campus tangibly be able 259 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: to work with them, try to coach them on something 260 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: and see if they can apply it and how quick 261 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: it takes them to apply it. That's a that's a 262 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: good tell. But there is still a you know, the 263 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: baseball it's still the not the eye test, but the 264 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: gut test. But to me, if mental evaluation or mental makeup, 265 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: or how the guy is wired, how the family operates, like, 266 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: if you don't spend time getting to know them, then 267 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: you can't really make that evaluation to least the best 268 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: of your knowledge. So it all goes part of it. 269 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: I think that evals are really important to your coaches 270 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: have to do a great job. I think that's what 271 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: different about college football than the NFL. I mean, I 272 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: think the NFL, they do a really good job of 273 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: working on getting evals and submitting them, but the personal 274 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: department ultimately makes those decisions. I don't know if I 275 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: fully believe in that. I always worry about, you know, 276 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: the chef making a you know, the parcels, parcels you make. 277 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: The chef's not getting his own ingredients, but you got 278 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: to make the meals. That's kind of tough. So again, 279 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of how my brain works. So again, the 280 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: right coaches, the right staffs, the right evaluators, the right recruiters, 281 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: all those play apart, which is a little different still 282 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: than the NFL. 283 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: A coach I was talking to a baseball gym a 284 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: while back, and he did some homework looking back on 285 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: guys they got right and guys they missed. To think 286 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: about how hard that's got to be when you're evaluating 287 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 2: high school kids that are seven years away from the 288 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: big leagues. And he said, we found out the more 289 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: points of contact we had with a kid, the better 290 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: our opportunity was to get the evaluation right. So even 291 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: just seeing him play live, but just being around the kid, 292 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: being around him, watching him work, being around maybe meeting 293 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: some family members. How much of an advantage is it 294 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: with your location where you are, where a tank of gas, 295 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: you can bring kids in all the time, Like not 296 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 2: just hey he can pop in and visit campus one time, 297 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: but you're going to get a chance to have a 298 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: lot of points of contact with some of the best 299 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 2: high school football in the country. 300 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, it's huge. I mean only that, like you're 301 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: pointing out the ones that maybe went somewhere and didn't 302 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: maximize it, or they get the right coach to kind 303 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: of push the right buttons and now they want to 304 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: come home. I mean, hey, for guys, feel free. Feel free. 305 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: I got you. I got to stop for you. So 306 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: and you know, what I think. As long as I'm allowed, 307 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: I'll pay for your gas. I'm good. I don't worry 308 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: about that. So but no, I think that it is 309 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: a big part, right. I mean, that's the reality of it. 310 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: If you have opportunities to pick somewhere where you want 311 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: to be, I think that it's an added bonus to 312 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: want to be down here and surrounded by great players 313 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: and be in the heat, and and and and being 314 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: a place that you want to as you can see yourself. 315 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: I think that's that's a part of it. I think 316 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: we also have an unbelievable new stadium coming on campus, 317 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: unbelievable performance center. It's linked to just for football here 318 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: on campus, and so you know, we're eighteen months out 319 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: of that, so I can't even fathom once that happens. 320 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: It's really a hotbed. It's at some of the best 321 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: football in America, and you don't need to go anywhere 322 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: else to go find it. You can find it right 323 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: here in Tampa. So we want to make sure we 324 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: are prepared for that. We are prepared to support these 325 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: guys at a very very high level, and ultimately the 326 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: goals can be endless, you know, Coach at a time 327 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: where college. 328 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 4: Football is so so much change, people in and out, transient. 329 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 4: How do you build trust with your players as you 330 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 4: come into a new program, You're gonna hear in a 331 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 4: bunch of different players. How do you start the process 332 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 4: of bide beginning to build trust with them, being around. 333 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Them as much as I can, right, I mean, at 334 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I don't have a narrative, Okay, 335 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: I want to make that really clear, Like I do 336 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: the best I can, which is shooting in real the 337 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: whole time. And if I can just not keep up 338 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: with a narrative in my head and all I'm trying to, 339 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, get something done. But then it's always authentic, 340 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: and so I just I had experiences early in my 341 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: career where I was authentic, I was honest, and I 342 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: just felt like it was best for the young men 343 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: when I was that, and I didn't always work out 344 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: in my favor, but good karma found us and I 345 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: believe in that wholeheartedly. So I'm always gonna do right 346 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: by the athlete. They're just trying to navigate it too. 347 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: So I'm always just going to try to be as 348 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: authentic as I can, whether I'm having hard conversations or 349 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm just on the football field trying to connect and 350 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: just then get to know me and just talk and 351 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: ask if they got a girlfriend or whatever else. Uh 352 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I've been doing, at least this morning. 353 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: Uh I heard, you know, they got in the weight 354 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: room they were lifting, so I was like, I'm gonna 355 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: get a lift in So I went in there and 356 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: made sure that I was getting a lift with them. 357 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: And Uh, I don't know, I just I don't know how. 358 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how else to do it besides just 359 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: trying to just be yourself. And then and as you know, 360 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: you guys have all been involved in sports, like, we'll 361 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: appreciate the coach that's authentic. Don't don't be anything more 362 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: than yourself. I'll learn to love who you are man Like, 363 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: it's not it's not that that crazy.

Where does that put you on 375 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 5: on your path? You know, maybe a little bit ahead 376 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 5: of where you might have been otherwise to get to 377 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 5: where you want to go. 378 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we have a great alignment here from 379 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: the top down, So that's that's number one. I really 380 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: appreciate that they're relatively new as well. I mean, Derek 381 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Brooks is my CEO, so like he ain't new, but 382 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: you know, you know, it's it's awesome to have. But 383 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: like the really uh, the honesty is that you know, 384 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: new a d and he's done a great job. He 385 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: was really one of the big reasons why I wanted 386 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: to be here. So there is still work there. Obviously, 387 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: with with the coach moving on going to Auburn, I 388 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: think there's some a lot of staff has left, so 389 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: which creates some instable feel for the for the players. 390 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: You just want to make sure the players are stabilized. Stabilize, 391 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: get your vision in there, let them feel you. There's 392 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: obviously a lot of choices that be made here coming 393 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: up in January when the portal kind of opens. So 394 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: you just want to make sure if they choose to 395 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: do that, they have it. They do it with all 396 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: of the information at hand. They know the coach, they're 397 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: getting to know me, and they see the vision, they 398 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: see it coming together. If you make the choice at 399 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: that point, I don't I can sleep at night, but 400 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to make sure they're making the choice 401 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: without that information. So I want to make sure that 402 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: their Philly fellow are well informed. That's really important to me. 403 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: And so outside of those things, I think that we 404 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: have an advantage because we have great players. Frankly, there's 405 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna be some guys that, you know, you can't retain, 406 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: which is everyone in America, but we have a really 407 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: good base. I think there's an opportunity to just be 408 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: more consistent, you know. And I think that the great play, 409 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: the great teams out there, the great players out there, 410 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm much more consistent day in and day out, how 411 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: they do everything, how they do all things. I'll say 412 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: that all the time. I feel that how cleans the 413 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: locker room, how clean is the plane when you fly, 414 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: like all of those things matter. And I think that 415 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: there's a probably opportunity to be more consistent, which will 416 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: show up on the field. There's probably an opportunity where 417 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: there's a game or two you wish you could take 418 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: back from this past year, the last couple of years. 419 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: We want to eliminate that feeling and make sure we're 420 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: doing a better job consistently week in a week out. 421 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: Coach, the last last thing for me is a two parter. 422 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: Uh. 423 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: Number one, how excited are you to access the shorts 424 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 2: drawer in your dresser?

They're gone? 428 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, uh yeah, I'm kind of pants guy 429 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: though too, so I'm gonna have some.
