00:00Number one, he has great charisma for his age, too.

00:07I think he's got an old soul because of his background and

00:11everything him and his wife have gone through.

00:13So I mean, I think the kids like him.

00:15But that's one of the things that sticks out to me in all the events I've been around.

00:20I agree, he's very confident, he's got high energy, he's never met a stranger.

00:25And he seems to be the same every day, regardless of how low everybody gets.

00:31He's also worked for Todd Graham, Nick Saban, and Kirby Smart.

00:37And those were all great programs.

00:38So he learned a lot about what he wanted to do when he got his own program.

00:42One of the cool parts about the Stallings Award is that you guys,

00:45as recipients, get to vote on the winner.

00:49Why do it that way?

00:51I think coaches know, you know, like any business,

00:53everybody within the side of the business knows who the best coaches are,

00:58who the good people are, and Coach Lanning fits both of those categories.

01:02Great person, great coach, and you know,

01:05it's great to see somebody at his age that's doing so well,

01:09because he's going to have a long lineage.

01:12And when Coach Stallings started this with Bill Duvall,

01:17he really wanted it to be more than just the winning coach.

01:21Which coaches are doing it right?

01:23Who's giving back to the community?

01:25Because he cares about the Rise School.

01:27His son Johnny had Downs.

01:29He started the Rise School of Tuscaloosa when he was there.

01:33And then he wanted this to grow.

01:35Now there's eight Rise Schools in America.

01:37There's one in Austin that Sally and I started.

01:40But he wanted this award to be more than just about what everybody knew.

01:44And that's about winning.

01:45And we all know who does it right, and who doesn't, and who gives back.

01:48So that makes this a special award.

01:50And that's about winning, but we're going to win.

01:54So, that's why we won't win.

01:55So, let's have a game.

01:56And now, to realize the value of the Lord,

01:58and all the other players.

01:58So that's what we want to win.

01:59So, let's have a wonderful idea of how we win.

02:00We'll win for this team today.

02:01We'll win for this team now.

02:01And click the Joy of Tuscaloosa.

02:02And we'll win.

02:03Let's run for that, and give it a couple more important.

02:05So I can all the players.

02:08We'll win.

02:08So there's a goal.
