00:00What do you think you took away from Coach Saban in particular that he'll carry with
00:04you?
00:05Yeah, really, you know, he preaches it, but it's all about the process.
00:10Be present in the moment, dominate each rep, each day, every opportunity you get to get
00:16better.
00:17And if you could just stay focused on the task at hand, the big goals that you want
00:23to achieve will fall into place because you're doing all the little things right.
00:25Was there a learning curve or adjustment to work with Steve Belichick and his defense
00:28from what you've been doing with Saban in Alabama?
00:31There's a lot of similarities.
00:32And so, you know, I felt comfortable coming in.
00:34It's more terminology that might be a little bit different, but, you know, kind of give
00:39my players a hard time.
00:40And myself, I can't speak another language, but I can speak eight different playbooks.
00:45And so it ends up being, it's nice to have some of the similarities schematically to
00:51make it a little smoother for me.
00:52It seems like your coaching staff is running very loud.
00:54Is that a fair assessment?
00:56Yeah, yeah.
00:57I've got a lot of energy on the field, you know, should always be coaching.
01:03And hopefully they can make it feel my energy and it kind of resonates in them on the field.
01:08How has part-time fit in?
01:09He's been good, really good.
01:11Very excited to be here.
01:13He's definitely been a bright spot for us through the spring ball, through the first
01:1613 practices now.
01:19He can definitely help us and add a lot of value for us.
01:22How much do you know about Drew Fowler, obviously, because he was put on scholarship and just
01:25what have you seen from him in the spring?
01:26Yeah, Drew's a coach's dream.
01:28Drew is, you know, he's up in the office all the time watching tape and he's in my office
01:35a bunch asking a bunch of really good questions.
01:38But a guy that takes leadership, a guy that loves being here, a guy that really plays
01:42for his teammates and does everything the right way.
01:45So I can't, I can't speak any higher of Drew.
01:48He's an amazing guy for us.
