Transcript
00:03I'm wondering how these last couple of days have felt for you on the practice turf.
00:07Does it feel different?
00:08Do you feel like as a coordinator there's more responsibilities?
00:11Do you feel about the same when you're out there?
00:12Just kind of what's it like on a day-to-day?
00:15There's definitely more responsibilities.
00:18You know, making sure that things are organized
00:23and making sure that the staff is all on the same page.
00:26Ultimately, that falls on me, at least for the offensive staff.
00:29It is, at times, a little bit weird, right?
00:33Just being the, like today, we had like a ball security circuit.
00:37Normally, you're the guy running the drill,
00:39and now you're the person keeping the drill organized, right?
00:42So that was kind of weird.
00:43You know what I mean?
00:46You've seen Talladega Nights at times.
00:48It's like, I don't know what to do with my hands, you know?
00:52So, yeah, that part was different.
00:54But I think the feeling that I think is cool,
00:57it's kind of like, you know, Coach Lanning says,
00:59pinch yourself a little bit.
01:00Like, it's pretty cool.
01:02And when you feel like you're at a place working for a head coach
01:06that you absolutely love,
01:09that you wouldn't trade for anybody else in the country,
01:13and working for the players that we have, you know,
01:15I think that, you know, you want to serve them the best way possible.
01:19And so it makes you work really, really hard because you care about those guys.
01:24And I want to make sure that we're very organized and we don't waste our time.
01:28I'm a big believer in trying not to disrespect people's time, right?
01:33And so, yeah, it's cool.
01:35A little bit surreal at times.
01:36The first practice was a little surreal.
01:41But, you know, at the end of the day,
01:42it's just like we got to go out there and get the job done, you know,
01:45and let's get to work and find ways to help coach and develop these guys.
