  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Yukon Football Coaches Show. We get together
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday with Jim Moore. We recap what happened on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the weekend and we look ahead to a road trip
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: this week to Birmingham as Yukon takes on the UAB Blazers.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Coach six and three. Now, Yukon ends up winning six
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of seven of their home games. You only lost a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: three pointer to Wake, which you know could have gone
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: either way. Just to recap what you were able to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: accomplish at home this year. I know last year was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a disappointment. This year you really built what I thought
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was a sense of this is our place. You don't
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: come in here and win football games.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you go back to twenty twenty two
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: when we were five and won at home, and you
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: know you kind of start to build. What you're saying
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: is this we have to you know, it's mandatory win
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: at home. This is our place. Nobody comes in here
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and takes anything from us here. Then last year, you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: we we weren't able to protect the rent like we
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: wanted to, and so it's not like it's something that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: we obsessed with, but it is so important that you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: went at home you know, and obviously that the main
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: objective is to win and win the game, but it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: also to try to build some credibility with our fan
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: base and get people to believe in this program again
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and want to come to the stadium. And you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's we recognize what a huge investment it
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: is and both in money and in time. So you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: it's just proven to people week after week and year
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: after year that if you want to come and see
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: good football and see your team win, and we're going
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to do that for you when we play at home.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think consistency comes into it. I know
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of coaches use that term and maybe it's overused,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but you consistently have to prove to people we're good.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You got to come see us what I'm doing the games.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I say to myself, this is good football. If you're
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a football fan and you love college football, you've got
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to be here. If you want to watch some good
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: football games, this is a place to come do it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's right in your backyard.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, you know you know this. You have
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to earn that and it doesn't happen overnight. It takes time,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and you know, there's a lot of things that can
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: pull people away in this area. And you know, we've
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: got a great basketball team, that great hockey. We got
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so many great sports that you know, people have to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: pick and choose what they want to what they want
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to tend they can support them all. And so for us,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's proven to them that we're worth their
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: time and worth their money. We're gonna put a product
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: on the field, the team on the field that they
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: can be proud of. But I think just for us
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: as a team internally, it's, hey, you know, there's the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: comforts of home, right It's your your locker room, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: take the same route to the stadium every week. You know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: we're the same color jersey. Everything's just you stay at
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the same hotel. You know, there's a routine of it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So now we have to box all that up and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: we have to take it on the road, and we've
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: got a heck of a challenge this week. But I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: think that we have built up some mental toughness and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: some confidence and now we just have to we have to,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: like I said, bottle it up and take it with us.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I know a couple of players, uh we're talking about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, just just keep on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: keeping on basically, bring that same attitude, that same energy
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: when you go on the road. It seems to me
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you've got some people in that locker room or who
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: are capable of that and capable of leading by example
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: when you get on the road, and in your experience,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and you've been around quite a bit on every level,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you really need guys like that in the locker room,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't you mean? The coaches can't play, the players play,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and the players have to inspire each.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Other, they do. They have to inspire each other. They
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: have to hold each other accountable, you know. And we've
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: got there. I've told you this a lot. We've got
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a mature football team, and they truly care about what
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it takes. They're willing to commit to what it takes
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to win. And I have a lot of respect for that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And and you know, I think it's reflecting the way
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: they work each week during practice, just with the consistency
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and great effort and great focus. And they don't get
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: too high and they don't get too low. But leadership matters.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Players can't walk out, you know. We don't get to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: cross that line and go play. Coaches don't players do.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I've always said the peer pressure and the peer to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: peer accountability is the most important thing that a football
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: team can have in that locker room. Is just a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: sense of responsibility to each other. And we have that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: We have.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you cunt football fans are tuned in. I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: think they we have to have them understand that these guys,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, really respect each other, don't want to let
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: each other down. I mean that's important when you develop
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the chemistry of a football program, isn't it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Sure they got to care about each other. I mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you know, listen, I'm sure the deep down inside, the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: most important thing to to anybody is you know, your
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: own success, the safety and health of your family and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: things like that. But you know, on a team, the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: team ego is the most important thing. You know. Being
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: able to to sacrifice certain individual maybe goals for the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: goals and the objectives of the team. And our guys
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: are willing to do that is really interesting. You know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Like Sunday, you know, our receivers didn't get many opportunities
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: in that game. So you go up to you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I go up to a guy like Skyler or tj
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: or Josiah. You know and say, hey man, we're going
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to work to get you guys at the ball. Now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Don't don't worry about a coach. We just want to win,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you know, we just want to win. You know, you'll
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: find a lot of places where the receivers are kind
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of the most high strung group on the team, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you know you read about it all the time. They
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: complain when they don't get the ball, and our guys
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: don't do that. They just work. I don't hear them complain,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I just see them work and the selflessness
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of which they block down the field. I mean that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to me demonstrates a team, a team mentality, and I
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: embrace that. I love it. That's the back out of it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an important aspect obviously of team building to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: have guys that have that, that sensibility of unselfishness, because
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I think football, more than any sport, is about being unselfish.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, let's face it, twenty two people
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: going at it on every single play, and every you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: need eleven to get it together to do what you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: want to accomplish.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unique. I mean not, you know, it's not
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: one one person's not capable of taking over a game.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's impossible in this sport. And you have to have that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You have to have that that selflessness, selflessness to to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you know, be subservient to the goals of the team
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: at times. And you know it's just like our running back.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I read a quote by Cam there like
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a bunch of brothers in there. As long as one
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: successful in the room, successful, they all feel successful. Talking
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: about the running back with Cam Edwards, And you know
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that's what you want to read, That's what you want
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to hear. That you what you guys talking about. That
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: that is going to give you a chance to have
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: success right there, right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Because you're going to need it. Could be Mel Brown
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: like it was this week against Georgia's State that just
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: has an outstanding game, or it could be Cam Edwards,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: or it could be Darrel Robinson. I mean, and if
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: guys don't care who who the leader of the pack
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is that that's a great, great way to go about business.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Jimora with us. We'll be back in just
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a moment. We've got to get to UAB. We're going
• 7:25
