00:00 You know obviously you talked about two players on the contract right and I got so much respect
00:09 for our fans that I won't get myself in trouble or us in trouble talking about any in particular
00:13 person but you know it's really exciting with the quarterback group that we talked about
00:17 that's out there that we have the ability to acquire and that was makes a fan base that's
00:21 what make our front office that's what make our coaches all excited to be able to talk
00:24 in our rooms about those people and I can't believe D-Led of all people trying to hit
00:28 me fine on my first day at the program.
00:33 Raheem you.
00:34 The fans.
00:35 You're a trailblazer and a role model in this league what does it mean to you to see Antonio
00:40 Pierce get a head coaching job?
00:41 You know I talked about this a little bit in my press conference but I thought the most
00:48 interesting thing to me throughout this process of people getting head coaching jobs I think
00:51 it's three black head coaches that became head coaches in cycle and I don't think it
00:56 was talked about I don't think it was a segment on sports I don't think it was a segment on
00:59 anything that we talked about whether it was black head coaches or was just the best people
01:02 for that job and I'm so happy to see Antonio get that job because he was the obviously
01:07 the best person for that job for that radio organization and I'm so proud of him but you
01:13 know to call myself a trailblazer and never look at myself that way I mean because there's
01:16 so many people in front of me there's so many people to come behind me that I'm just a part
01:20 of it and like I just want to make sure I make everybody else proud around this and
01:24 The only way you do that is go out and do your best in everything that you can to win.
