00:00I haven't thought about it, probably won't think about it.

00:07I think just the daily focus of how we prepare is what I think about the most and how I can

00:13do the best I can to put our guys in the best spot.

00:15I think the true test of a leader and the goal of a leader is to make people and situations

00:21better.

00:22That's my focus every day.

00:23How can I be at my best and to be accountable so the entire group can be at their best but

00:29also try to find ways to continue to find solutions.

00:31It doesn't matter what I'm comfortable with.

00:33I don't play.

00:34So I can always adapt and adjust.

00:36To me it's my job as a coordinator to adapt and adjust to our players and what those guys

00:39do well.

00:40Whether it's Caleb, whether it's Alon, whether it's our receivers or tight ends or backs,

00:45it's our job to design a plan to obviously attack the defense but also favor what we

00:48do well.

00:49They are aggressive.

00:50They are attacking.

00:51They are opportunistic.

00:52So it's going to be important for us to go into the game, to me always first and foremost,

00:58to play with no fear.

00:59We're not going to coach scared, we're not going to play scared.

01:02So to me that starts first with preparation because fear and faith only exist in the future.

01:07So why fear what hasn't even happened yet?

01:10So I think about our guys being able to have confidence in the game plan, to build that

01:14based on preparation throughout the week, then on game day, let it rip, man.

01:18We don't fear failure or fear mistakes.

01:21You learn from those opportunities and they continue to keep swinging.
