00:00 All right, Kyle, we need to talk.
00:02 And you wear many hats.
00:05 Literally, you are a man defined by his fashion and his hats.
00:09 When people talk about you, they talk about two things.
00:11 One, you keep it real.
00:13 And two, you have swag.
00:16 So, you don't care about people's feelings, and you like wearing hats.
00:22 Well, you wear two hats today.
00:24 The offensive coordinator hat and the head coaching hat.
00:26 I want you to wear your offensive coordinator hat.
00:27 Now I'm talking to the offensive coordinator.
00:29 Kyle, I don't care about your game plan.
00:35 You and your dad and Chris Forster and Bobby Turner, you'll figure it out.
00:39 You have a good game plan or you won't.
00:40 You'll work it out.
00:43 And then at halftime, you'll make an adjustment.
00:45 I've seen you do it.
00:47 This game, all I'm saying, man, if you're up in the second half,
00:55 four points, seven points, ten points,
00:59 you really need to be prepared for that moment.
01:03 What are you going to do to seal the victory when you have a lead
01:09 in the second half of a Super Bowl?
01:10 Because that's sort of been your Waterloo.
01:15 That's been the thing you can't get past.
01:18 In the first Super Bowl, when you were with the Falcons,
01:21 you just totally forgot about your running game entirely.
01:23 In the second Super Bowl with the Niners,
01:25 you forgot about your running game entirely.
01:27 Raheem Mostert, Deebo Samuel, complete afterthoughts down the stretch
01:31 because any time you can put the game in Jimmy Garoppolo's hands
01:34 with the lead in the fourth quarter, you've got to do that.
01:36 That's what you did.
01:37 What's your plan this time?
01:39 You've got the best running back in football.
01:42 If you have a ten-point lead in the second half,
01:46 fourth quarter, Kyrsten McCaffrey, what will you do, Kyle?
01:50 I'm not telling you what to do.
01:53 I'm just saying this needs to be the focus of your preparation
01:56 for the next week, your four-minute offense,
01:58 or whatever you want to call it, icing the game with a lead.
02:02 Because if you just give up 45 points to the Chiefs
02:06 and your defense can't hang, I mean, you'll ultimately be responsible
02:10 for that too, but it'll be a new way for you to lose the Super Bowl.
02:15 And you can say it's Steve Wilk's fault, or we were missing X, Y, Z,
02:19 and we'll replace that in the offseason, get a new coordinator.
02:22 But if you lose the Super Bowl because you can't run the ball
02:26 with a lead in the second half again, people are going to start
02:30 talking about you, the offensive coordinator, man.
02:34 This is the one thing you've got to be able to do.
02:36 You proved you can come from behind the last two weeks.
02:39 Great!
02:41 Can you keep a lead against the Chiefs?
02:44 You probably would have beaten the Chiefs four years ago
02:47 if you had just given the ball to Debo on an enderound
02:50 in the fourth quarter, or handed the ball off one more time to Raheem Mostert.
02:53 Either one of those things, you'd have been in good shape.
02:57 You didn't do that.
02:59 So you've got to be prepared for that situation.
03:01 You're always prepared for the beginning of the game.
03:03 You've got these wonderful scripts.
03:05 You do a good job at the beginning of the third quarter, but...
03:08 What's the plan?
03:13 How are you going to do it?
03:15 I've got nothing for you, man. You're the genius.
03:17 I'm just letting you know that's what your focus has to be.
