Yeah, there's been a 33 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: lot of them, you know, obviously excitement. Um. Now you 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: put a lot of hard work and effort into your craft, 35 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and you know, twenty one years into making for this opportunity, 36 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: a historic franchise, great ownership, you know, Joe coming in 37 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: and getting hired as a general manager. Uh. Just it's 38 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: a great honor, a great privilege, and look forward to 39 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: getting to work. How important was it um with Joe 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Shane being named the general manager of the New York Giants. 41 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: To know that you're going to a place where there's 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: somebody that you are already know and because it's a 43 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: big job, let's face it, um, but to have that 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: comfort level. Yeah, I think alignment is very important. You know, 45 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: the last few years at the Buffalo Bills, I got 46 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: to see that firsthand with Brandon and Sean. And you 47 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: put people in a leadership position and make sure that 48 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: they're aligned, have a proper plan, and then surround them 49 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: with good people, you have a chance. It's not easy 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: to win in this league. We all know that it's 51 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: it's very challenging. But to to try to go through 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: and make sure you're doing the right things and put 53 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: your team in the right position, I think alignment is critical. 54 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: I know you're trying to get your staff organized and 55 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: get that all together, but what do you believe a 56 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: Brian Dable football team should look like? Yeah? Smart, tough, dependable. 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: We don't have to do a good job of bringing 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: in the right kind of people. Again, it's a challenging 59 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: process to make sure you're putting together the team that 60 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: can be competitive weekend and week out. We got a 61 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: lot of work ahead of us to do. When you 62 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: talk about team first, a guy like Daniel Jones who 63 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: has been been here for a couple of years now, Um, 64 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, getting to work with a quarterback, how important 65 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: is that to have that kind of relationship with them? Yeah, 66 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: it's it's critical relationships are you know their foundations here? 67 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: Not not just with the quarterback, but I'd say with 68 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: with all the players. Getting to know them what their 69 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses are, but getting to know them outside 70 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: the building, what makes them tick. Uh. Quarterback is a 71 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: tough position to play. UM, and he's had a fair 72 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: amount of coaches here in this in his first few 73 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: years and some different schemes. But the first thing I 74 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: wanted to do is get to know him as a person, uh, 75 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: and find out what makes him tick, and then we'll 76 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: do everything we can do to put you know, the 77 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: pieces around him and design an offense that's suited to 78 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: his strengths. Have you guys had any interaction to this point. Yeah, 79 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: we've talked. We've talked. You know, I've talked to a 80 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: few of the guys since, uh, since I had this opportunity, 81 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: and uh, they're they're looking forward to what I am 82 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: too getting to know each other work together. Long road ahead, 83 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: but uh, it seems like a good young man. Who 84 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: are some of the great influences for you as you've 85 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: developed as a coach to get to this point. Yeah, 86 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: first and foremost, i'd say my grandparents. Um, you know, 87 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to talk about in this business 88 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: who who's been a mentor, But without them, I wouldn't 89 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: be here. I lost both of them during the season 90 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: this past this past year, which was tough, both from Buffalo, 91 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: so it was good to be with them at the 92 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: end of their life. But obviously, you know, when I 93 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: started out young in this business, I got to work 94 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: for Bill for a total of eleven years. And I 95 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: was there the first time and then in the back time, 96 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of good assistant coaches on 97 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: his staff, whether that be Dante Garnecki yet Charlie White, 98 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: Eric Mangini, a bunch of those guys. And then I 99 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: was able to work for Nick, you know, at Alabama 100 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: just for that one year, but as a g a 101 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: back in college, and then this past five years with 102 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Shaun or four years with Shawn. So again, I think 103 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: it's important to be authentic. No matter who it is, 104 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: you can learn from a lot of different coaches, a 105 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: lot of different people. But at the end of the day, 106 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: players and i'd say support staff and people are gonna 107 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: see right through if you're not authentic. That's what I 108 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: try to be. How important is it to the various 109 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: places that you've been sort of cherry picking positive experiences 110 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: from those places and not be locked into just one way. Yeah, 111 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: that's the growth mindsets. A great question, Bob. I think 112 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: that you know, the minute you think you have this 113 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: this league and I'll figure it out, it gets you 114 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: pretty quick. So being open minded, listening, learning, UM, I 115 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: think those are two qualities that you need to have 116 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: no matter what whether you're the head coach, a coordinator, 117 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: a position coach, a scout, some of that works. As 118 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: a support staff, Uh, you don't have all the answers. 119 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: And I think it's got to be UM, a collaborative effort. 120 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: It really is the whole building matters organizations. When you 121 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: know you have to have good players, you have to 122 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: have good coaches, you have to have good support staff. 123 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, everybody's got to 124 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: be working together for one common goal. And UM, you 125 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: know you listen and you learn from everybody. Obviously, football first, 126 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: and this is a big job coming to the New 127 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: York Giants, so you're trying to get the staff together. 128 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Then you have to go through the whole roster thing. 129 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl coming up. Ye, so this is probably a 130 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: question for another point in time. What does Brian Dable 131 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: like to do when he's not involved in football? Uh? 132 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: I spend time with my family and you know, I 133 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: have a great wife and support system at home, and um, 134 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, six kids, so it keeps you busy. They're 135 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: all different ages. Our youngest is for our oldest is 136 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: he'll be twenty two and and all in between there. 137 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: But really that's that's pretty much it. Not too much 138 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: else than that. When you walked into the building, uh, 139 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: for the first time, you know, there's those four Lombardi 140 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: trophies sitting right there, and there's the NFC Championships and 141 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: there's the old NFL Championships. Did you feel a level 142 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: of responsibility as you walked in once you got the job, 143 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: to know that I am now the steward of a 144 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: great tradition that started in Yeah, I mean, what a 145 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: humbling experience. Just you know, you walk through those doors 146 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: for the first time. And uh, that's what we all 147 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: aspire to be. You know, I've been fortunate to be 148 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: around some teams that have one sum and and to 149 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: to walk into these halls and look, this is as 150 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: a historic franchise. There's there's so many people that you know, 151 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: you have been through these halls and have played this 152 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: game for this team, and I understand the task. We 153 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do. It's not just 154 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna be myself for Joe. There's gonna be again, We're 155 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna really collaborate with the people in the building, treat 156 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: people with respect, to try to gain their trust. And 157 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: once you can do that, you know, everybody's accountable to 158 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: one another. But yeah, it was awesome. Coach, Um, you know, 159 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: what are some of the key elements of putting his 160 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: staff together. It's a great question. You want you want 161 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: good leaders and good teachers, UM, guys that can can 162 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: build something within the room, that can inspire UM, that 163 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: are good listeners and learners and that can develop people, 164 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: not just players, but you know, support staff and things 165 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: like that. But you've gotta be able to teach. You 166 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: gotta know what you're talking about. I think you need 167 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: to be authentic, Bob. I think you need to be consistent.
