Transcript

00:00As I always tell you all, for any success or any failure of any field goal, it starts

00:12with the protection, the operation, and the execution.

00:17And when those things are right, you have a successful field goal.

00:20When those things are wrong, your field goal isn't what you want it to be.

00:26That starts and ends with me.

00:30And that was not the desired result that we wanted.

00:34Wednesday and Thursday when we do two minute, that's always talked about.

00:38What happened in that situation was a team decision.

00:44And we thought, in the best interest of the team, and

00:47Flus has spoken to that already.

00:50And he talked to you guys about the risk there.

00:54So the best interest of the team was to kick it.

01:01And when they call field goal, it's my job as a coach to get that executed.

01:07Yeah, it's just a team decision.

01:09So whenever a decision is made, and

01:11whenever a field goal is called, then my job is to go out there and execute.

01:15That's it.

01:18And I have confidence in our field goal team to make it from any distance

01:23they call us from, because we've already talked about the distance before we go out

01:28there.

01:29What I will say is, there are always gonna be changes.

01:33There's always gonna be shuffling with a ton of different positions.

01:37But my job is to look at what I can do better.

01:40And whatever guys that I have is to get them to perform and

01:43execute at the highest level.

01:47Yeah.

01:48Yeah.

01:49Yeah.

01:50Yeah.

01:51Yeah.
