00:00It was a perfect process, I mean I enjoyed it, I think Ryan was very clear when we started

00:10this journey that a wide net would be cast, which it was.

00:16We would talk to many candidates.

00:19And one thing about this interview process, you learn so much, not only about the candidate,

00:25but about other coaches, their thought process, other people in the industry.

00:29And so I thought it was a first class process and Ryan should be commended and I'm grateful

00:35to George and the entire McCaskey family for their support.

00:39We want to win and we want to win now.

00:40I think what you saw today, hopefully, was that we are a group that is aligned with George,

00:47with Ryan, with Ben, with the players, with this building, and it is really special to

00:54work in an environment.

00:55I said it to Ben, even during the interview process, and I've said it since, you really

01:02are blessed to have George and other members of the McCaskey family here every day.

01:07This is not a side business venture, this is their life, this is their history, this

01:12is their legacy.

01:13And so it's clear, this organization is built on history, tradition, and winning.

01:18And so the thing, and one good thing about it, and I joke with George that probably if

01:21we did some study, we're probably related multiple generations ago.

01:26I'm fiscally conservative, but I am also aggressive, and I also believe in being creative, and

01:35I also believe that you get what you pay for.

01:38And so this is a situation where we needed to make sure we got the number one candidate,

01:44and it's not about the number one candidate, it was the number one candidate for the Chicago

01:47Bears.
