00:00 Christian Parker, Jim Leonard.
00:01 Christian was with us.
00:03 He got promoted.
00:04 They're getting a bright young coach.
00:06 Obviously Vic knows him.
00:07 Vic has worked with him before.
00:08 Christian's really sharp.
00:10 I'd say his degree, if you will,
00:14 in defensive football is in that scheme.
00:17 He was a pleasure to work with.
00:19 And I'm excited that he has that opportunity.
00:22 Vic and I talked at length about Christian.
00:24 He was one of the coaches that we kept
00:26 from last year's staff.
00:28 Christian left and we hired Jim Leonard.
00:30 Jim was someone that I had spoken with last offseason.
00:33 He actually played for us briefly.
00:37 I know he played for Denver for a year.
00:39 He had hip replacement surgery last year,
00:43 so he was kind of gonna be in a position
00:47 where he couldn't commit to a full-time job.
00:51 He helped out Illinois.
00:52 I think that he's extremely bright.
00:55 He was as a player.
00:57 He solved all the problems as a player.
01:00 He was in Buffalo, the Jets, Baltimore, Denver.
01:03 He played 10 years.
01:06 And I think he's got one of these high ceilings
01:10 that we see with some young coaches.
01:12 And I say young, but it's kind of all relative.
01:15 I think a lot of him.
01:17 And we spent a lot of time on that process.
01:20 We'll keep going.
