00:00Coaching Carousel, two stops left, Joe, I believe.
00:03I mean, it seems like every single day we have a new spot to open,
00:05but Arizona and also Los Angeles.
00:09But Robert Sala, we're probably going to get a good job
00:11at either one of those institutions here.
00:13He's with Tennessee, and he's also talking here
00:15about calling the plays in Tennessee.
00:17You know, I didn't call plays in New York,
00:23and I just kind of gave it all to the coordinators,
00:26even though we were still part of the game planning and all that.
00:28And, you know, I joke with Borgo on game day when I didn't call plays,
00:34I felt like I was just a timeout and red flag guy.
00:36You know, I was just kind of – I became –
00:39I had the greatest seat in the house as a fan, you know.
00:41So, you know, calling plays for me, it's not necessarily about control,
00:46but it's about connecting with the players.
00:48You know, when you are a play caller and you are calling plays,
00:50you feel the strain that you're putting on them with each call.
00:54You're feeling the connection.
00:55You're feeling what each one is going through.
00:57And, again, like I said, I can feel the weight of the play call
01:01on individual players in those moments.
01:03And to be able to call plays and maintain that connection,
01:06maintain that feel for what the players are going through,
01:09I think is very, very important for my seat.
01:12And it's just one of the many things that will change throughout my tenure.
01:15He's learning, Joe.
01:18The reason I say that here is if you're going to have your second opportunity,
01:21you're going down swinging because sometimes you can say to yourself,
01:25that was my defense and we continuously got torched.
01:28I'll live with that.
01:29But he's right.
01:30When you're the head coach, you're in the game plans.
01:31Don't get me wrong.
01:32There's a big, heavy influence of Robert Sala that was in New York,
01:35but it's not you calling the plays.
01:37He understands the magnitude of, if this doesn't go right,
01:40I'll never get a head coaching job again.
01:41And you know why it's not going to go right?
01:43Certainly not going to be because my defense isn't out there, given it's all.
01:48Donnie, I mean, it's great to hear that from him, right?
01:51Because it's, you know, if you don't evolve and learn from past mistakes here,
01:57then, you know, we don't know.
01:59It ain't going to last very long here.
02:01You might as well just stay a coordinator.
02:03But I love it.
02:04I love he understands the whole CEO concept, delegate,
02:08which is why I am very, very interested to see what some of these young first-time head coaches
02:15who think they're going to keep the play-calling duties, you know, Aaron Glenn in New York,
02:22and, of course, now Joe Brown.
02:23I'm going to keep calling a play.
02:24Like, you have no idea what other duties you have now as a head coach,
02:31where all of a sudden, Donnie, got to keep my head into the defensive room,
02:35then I got to call the plays in the offensive room.
02:38It's going to get very interesting for some teams with new coaches this season.
