1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, my guts. Mhm. Going with the pocket square now, 2 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: like yeah, really okay, okay, were you joined by the 3 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: President and CEO of the New York Football Giants, Mr 4 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: John Mara and John As you went through this process? 5 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: What stood out about coach Judge that made him the 6 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: guy for this organization? Well, you start off with the 7 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: training that he's had. Um, he was at Nick Saban 8 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: staff at Alabama where there won a couple of national 9 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: championships that he moves over at some point to Bill 10 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: Belichick staff at the Patriots. When somebody does that, you 11 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: take notice of it. Um, he's had great training. Um. 12 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: But what stood out in the interview was his poise, 13 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: his confidence, his presence. Uh, you could see leaderships qualities 14 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: in them, his knowledge of the game, his ability to 15 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: relate to players. There were just so many qualities that 16 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: just jumped out at you. It was as impressive a 17 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: coach interview as I've ever been a part of. Whether 18 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: it was championships in the thirties that year, in the 19 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: fifties to early sixties, and then the eighties with coach Parcels, 20 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: with Coach Belichick being here, Coach Conflan being here, winning 21 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, the Giants have had a certain style of game. 22 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: Talk about that style and what you hope to get 23 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: back to. Well, what we we want to get back 24 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: to is winning games that we haven't been doing very 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: a very good job at that lately. But this guy, 26 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: just Joe Judge, brings a certain attitude, certain confidence, a 27 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: certain presence to us. UM. I like the fact that 28 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: he believes in coaching the whole team him, not just 29 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: one side of the ball or the other. Um. He's 30 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: gonna be very involved in everything we do. And I 31 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: particularly liked his ability to to talk to and relate 32 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: to players and understand where they come from and what 33 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: challenges they have, and his ability to motivate them. He 34 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: was working on his PhD in education. This guy is 35 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: a teacher, and I think that's something we need right now. 36 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: Obviously the last couple of years haven't gone the way 37 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: you want. UM. To hire a special teams coach is 38 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: a big leap of faith. Plus he's a younger guy. 39 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: Just talk about sort of the decision to kind of 40 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: go in that direction and go a little out of 41 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the box. Yeah, it never really bother me one way 42 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: or the other. Where their guy was offensive or defensive, 43 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: for special teams. It's more about you know the person himself. 44 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: And yes, the fact that he is young is certainly 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: a concern, but I just think he has a certain 46 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: maturity about him, at a certain presence about him, and 47 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: he'll surround himself with a good staff. I have a 48 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: lot of confidence in that. UM. I think he's got 49 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: a chance to be a great head coach. Obviously, winning 50 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: is important, as you mentioned, UM, but there's a certain 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: sort of DNA that the Giants have with the city 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: and with their style. UM, in your opinion, what's that 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: d NA? Well, what I'd like it to to be 54 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: is is to be a tough, prideful team that never 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: gives up. UM, that's always going to give that plays 56 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: great defense, has a great quarterback, and has a great 57 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: coach behind the team. I think we're heading in that 58 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: direction and time will tell, but I feel very good 59 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: about this higher. Everybody's working you know together, Obviously, you 60 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: with Mr Tisian Gettlman, Dave Gettlman, the general manager, coming 61 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: to this decision. You took a lot of time in 62 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: sort of identifying all the candidates that were out there. 63 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: We please with the way the whole process went. I 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: was very pleased with it. I think, and we discussed this, 65 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: that this was the deepest pool of candidates that I've seen, 66 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and unfortunately we've done this too often in the last 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: few years, but this was, by far, I think, the 68 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: most talented group of individuals. And I wouldn't have been 69 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: disappointed in any one of them. I thought they all 70 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: had unique qualities about them, but Joe jud just stood 71 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: out above the rest of them. Um, for all the 72 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: qualities I just mentioned, you know, just his presence and 73 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: poise and confidence, knowledge of the game, ability to relate 74 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: to players. There were so many factors that went into this, 75 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: but I knew, you know, by Monday afternoon that we 76 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: had found our guy. I know how much respect he 77 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: has for you and you have for Bill Belichick, who 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: obviously was a part of two of these Super Bowl wins. Um, 79 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: how much did what he had to say to you, 80 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: you know, help form your opinion. That was definitely a factor. 81 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: I had several conversations with Coach Belichick over the last 82 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: few days, and he was effusive in his praise of 83 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Joe uh and the other coaches on his staff as 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: as well. But there was just something special about Joe, 85 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: and you can hear it in Bill's voice, what he 86 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: talked about him. And you know, as I said before, 87 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: when you go from Nick Saban staff at Alabama and 88 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: then eventually wind up on Bill Belichick staff at New England, 89 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: that's something that you take notice of. John, Thank you 90 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: for a few minutes. Thanks. What's up down all right?
