00:00 >> You said last night on social media that you really love your coach.
00:03 >> Yeah. >> Despite all that he's hearing and
00:05 all that you guys are hearing as far as outside noise goes.
00:07 How have you kind of seen him handle that when it comes to keeping himself focused
00:11 and keeping you guys team focused as well?
00:13 >> I mean, I think it's refreshing.
00:15 I mean, as a player, you look like those jobs get opened up and
00:22 it kind of scares you a little bit cuz this is a business.
00:26 And to see a coach come out and say all that kind of stuff and
00:29 say how much he loves Oregon, it's awesome.
00:33 And I'm not trying to be like, but
00:35 it kind of reminded me of kind of like me in high school.
00:39 We had, I think Oregon lost ASU in 2019.
00:45 And everybody was questioning if I was gonna still be go there,
00:48 if I was gonna still be committed.
00:50 And I was committed 1,000% cuz everything he said about how the resources here,
00:56 the people, how this program is true.
01:03 And it's rain true and having a coach come out and say that and
01:06 blatantly say I'm not going anywhere.
01:07 I feel proud to be on this team.
01:13 I feel lucky enough to be coached by him.
