10:10
Speaker 7: having Tala Dayga, having Martinsville thrown in that round. They're
10:14
Speaker 7: two very capable of winning race tracks, but they're also
10:17

10:24
Speaker 7: day whenever you know it's.

10:45
Speaker 7: But we'll begin to work hard on that and kind
10:48
Speaker 7: of figure out where we were at this year as
10:50
Speaker 7: far as our speed and if there's things we could
10:52
Speaker 7: have done better.

Speaker 2: that's enough, That's that's more than enough.
12:54
Speaker 1: It's plenty.
12:56
Speaker 8: Uh.
12:56
Speaker 2: After we left last night, I'm at home scrolling and
13:00
Speaker 2: up comes to Twitter feed that Bruce Bochie is no
13:03
Speaker 2: longer the manager of the Rangers. Now I'm not shocked,
13:08
Speaker 2: beyond belief of Frankly. I know that Bochie had told
13:14
Speaker 2: Kevin Sherrington of the Dallas Morning News less than three
13:17
Speaker 2: weeks ago he wanted to.
13:18
Speaker 1: Come back, and.
13:25
Speaker 2: Chris Young said they met yesterday and quote mutually agreed.
13:29
Speaker 2: And I don't know how much of that is mutual,
13:36
Speaker 2: but I tweeted this out. We've talked about this forever
13:42
Speaker 2: on this show. Is on the field. With athletes, you
13:47
Speaker 2: can never get equal value for a Hall of Fame player.
13:52
Speaker 2: I don't care what sport it is, right, doesn't matter
13:57
Speaker 2: which sport you trade a player or you let him
14:01
Speaker 2: go in free agency. You can never get equal value
14:06
Speaker 2: for that player. Well, the same thing applies to managing.
14:12
Speaker 2: You cannot get equal value for a Hall of fame
14:17
Speaker 2: manager unless you hire a Hall of Fame manager. And
14:24
Speaker 2: since Skip Schumacher, who's going to be the next you know,
14:29
Speaker 2: manager of the Rangers, has had one year of experience
14:34
Speaker 2: with the Miami Marlins.
14:40
Speaker 8: You know it.
14:41
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't get it. I'll be honest with you.
14:44
Speaker 2: He was there two years, he won Manager of the
14:46
Speaker 2: year's first year, and then they you know, it's the Marlins,
14:49
Speaker 2: and they, you know, messed everything up the second year.
14:54
Speaker 16: Uh.
14:54
Speaker 2: And so he came to the Rangers as you know,
14:56
Speaker 2: special advisor, you know that kind of thing, and has
15:01
Speaker 2: been the manager and waiting and I think Chris Young
15:04
Speaker 2: has been waiting to put Skip Schumacher in that position.
15:10
Speaker 1: He told Bochie. Well, I don't need to tell you
15:15
Speaker 1: what he told Bochi.
15:16
Speaker 2: Let's let's hear from Chris Young, who had a zoom call,
15:20
Speaker 2: a hastily called a zoom call with the local media
15:26
Speaker 2: in Dallas Fort Worth last night after that announcement was
15:30
Speaker 2: made for.
15:31
Speaker 11: Our press release.
15:32
Speaker 17: We've usually agreed that Bruce Bochi will not be returning
15:35
Speaker 17: as our manager. In twenty twenty six on behalf of
15:39
Speaker 17: the entire Texas Rangers organization. I'd like to express my
15:41
Speaker 17: gratitude to Boach and his wife Kim for all they've
15:45
Speaker 17: done for our organization. You know, three years ago Boach
15:49
Speaker 17: came to the Rangers in pursuit of his fourth World
15:51
Speaker 17: Series championship. He brought instant credibility, wisdom, and legitimacy to
15:55
Speaker 17: a team looking to emerge from a rebuild. It only
15:59
Speaker 17: took him one season to accomplish a goal that had
16:01
Speaker 17: eluded this organization for fifty two years. And while the
16:04
Speaker 17: last two seasons have fallen short of our goals, Boach
16:07
Speaker 17: will forever be a legend of Texas Rangers history.
16:10
Speaker 11: Beyond this Hall of Fame pedigree.
16:12
Speaker 17: As a manager, he's one of the best people this
16:14
Speaker 17: game has ever seen. His tremendous humility and sense of humor,
16:18
Speaker 17: blended with an intense competitiveness and care for his staff
16:21
Speaker 17: and players, set bouch apart. I am so grateful for
16:25
Speaker 17: the opportunity to have partnered with Boach over the last
16:27
Speaker 17: three years, and I will forever cherish our friendship with that.
16:30
Speaker 11: I'm happy to answer any questions.
16:33
Speaker 18: Okay, everyone, we'll move to questions. I do want to say,
16:37
Speaker 18: you know, given tonight's news, we wanted to go ahead
16:40
Speaker 18: and address this situation and news tonight. We will do
16:44
Speaker 18: an end of season wrap up press conference hopefully here
16:47
Speaker 18: at the end of the week, but for tonight, you know,
16:50
Speaker 18: hoping to keep the focus on this topic for the
16:53
Speaker 18: most part.
16:55
Speaker 19: Evan, go ahead, see why this Obviously you guys met
17:00
Speaker 19: obviously very quickly after the season. Can you give us
17:03
Speaker 19: any insight into what visions you may have shared with
17:08
Speaker 19: one another about and what may or may not have aligned.
17:14
Speaker 17: Yeah, Evan, And it's you know, it's it's interesting because
17:18
Speaker 17: I was talking to Rich about this earlier the you know,
17:20
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty three, when we went to votes, I
17:23
Speaker 17: think we had a little more clarity as to what
17:25
Speaker 17: the vision was and where things stood and uh, and
17:28
Speaker 17: a little more certainty in terms of payroll, and you know,
17:33
Speaker 17: we don't have that at this point, and we're you know,
17:35
Speaker 17: at a point where we needed to make a decision. Certainly,
17:39
Speaker 17: you know, the first year went great, the next two
17:41
Speaker 17: years not as well. And without having you know, perfect
17:46
Speaker 17: vision and clarity, it's hard to spell out all the
17:48
Speaker 17: details that said, you know, there's such mutual respect for
17:52
Speaker 17: one another. You know, we felt like this was the
17:55
Speaker 17: proper way to go and and proceed given that, you know,
18:00
Speaker 17: there's probably going to be some changes necessary in twenty
18:02
Speaker 17: twenty six, and a different voice in the dugout will
18:06
Speaker 17: help advances forward.
18:08
Speaker 19: And I know this is this is primarily about Boach today,
18:12
Speaker 19: but the the prevailing school of thought has been that
18:17
Speaker 19: you hired Skip Schumacher with the idea that he would
18:19
Speaker 19: be a potential success or. Has anything changed there? Where
18:23
Speaker 19: does Skip stand in your hierarchy on this yet?
18:26
Speaker 17: Evan and full transparency, we have not had any of
18:31
Speaker 17: those conversations. You know, we will begin an interview process.
18:35
Speaker 17: Obviously Skip is in the organization and will be a candidate.
18:39
Speaker 17: But this was really focusing on twenty twenty six right
18:45
Speaker 17: now as it related to Bruce Boci and you know
18:48
Speaker 17: where he is, where we are, and what the future holds.
18:51
Speaker 11: Thank you. I'll let Kennedy go on.
18:56
Speaker 20: Go ahead, Kenny, I guess Skip notwithstanding, and I mean,
19:00
Speaker 20: what kind of things are you looking for going forward
19:02
Speaker 20: with this managerial search right now for overin the next
19:05
Speaker 20: couple of weeks.
19:08
Speaker 17: Well, Kenny, it's a great question. Because this has come
19:10
Speaker 17: on very quickly. You know, obviously we've we've known this
19:14
Speaker 17: as a possibility, but it's happened fast. And so we've
19:17
Speaker 17: got to sit down as the front office the remainder
19:18
Speaker 17: of the week and kind of talk through those things
19:20
Speaker 17: and you know, to find some of our criteria and
19:23
Speaker 17: talk about some of the things that we need to
19:26
Speaker 17: improve upon as we move forward here to get back
19:28
Speaker 17: to where we want to go, which is being a
19:30
Speaker 17: World Series contender and a perennial playoff contender. You're in,
19:34
Speaker 17: you're out, and so with that we will continue to
19:37
Speaker 17: do it. But I you know, I think some of
19:38
Speaker 17: the some of the things that we can't expect. We
19:42
Speaker 17: are probably going to be a little bit of a
19:44
Speaker 17: younger team next year, There's no doubt about it. There
19:46
Speaker 17: is going to be player development that continues at the
19:48
Speaker 17: big league level, and I think those are going to
19:50
Speaker 17: be important aspects of of whomever we select as our
19:54
Speaker 17: next manager. And you know, beyond that, we'll continue to
19:59
Speaker 17: look at the different criteria and what's most important and
20:03
Speaker 17: you know, the ability to to instill believe, conviction and
20:08
Speaker 17: unity within a group for one common goal. It's it's
20:12
Speaker 17: extremely important. So I don't have a perfect answer for
20:15
Speaker 17: you yet, but we will define that in the coming days.
20:20
Speaker 11: Thank you, Chris. Go ahead, Sean, Hey, Chris.
20:25
Speaker 21: I don't know if this is, you know, be directly
20:28
Speaker 21: related to Boat or something you guys will discuss further.
20:30
Speaker 21: But as far as the rest of the coaching staff is,
20:33
Speaker 21: you know, where do you stand with that? Will will
20:36
Speaker 21: they be impacted by this? How do you see that
20:38
Speaker 21: playing out?
20:40
Speaker 17: Yeah, Sean, It's it's again hard to answer at this point.
20:42
Speaker 11: I can't make that.
20:45
Speaker 17: I can't answer that without knowing who the next manager
20:48
Speaker 17: is going to be and what he will need to
20:52
Speaker 17: be set up for success. So I can say I
20:54
Speaker 17: have great admiration and respect for our coaching staff. I
20:57
Speaker 17: know how hard they worked. I know how much they
20:59
Speaker 17: poured in day in, day out, to our players, to
21:02
Speaker 17: our organizations, our team, and while the results didn't match
21:06
Speaker 17: what we all expected this year, it's no fault of
21:10
Speaker 17: our coaching staff and they're all in great standing. But
21:12
Speaker 17: I can't comment as to what the future holds.
21:16
Speaker 11: Thank you, Jeff.
21:21
Speaker 22: Go ahead, Hey, Chris, So did you present to Boach
21:30
Speaker 22: what next season is going to look like? And then
21:33
Speaker 22: he made a decision is that how it played out.
21:37
Speaker 17: Jeff, we we had a conversation and talked about, you know,
21:41
Speaker 17: some of the things that will change next year, you know,
21:46
Speaker 17: and some of those we have certainty on some of
21:47
Speaker 17: them we don't, and just you know, what the future
21:50
Speaker 17: looks like and and what may be needed with some
21:54
Speaker 17: of those changes. So, you know, this was a conversation
21:57
Speaker 17: between the two of us. And and you know Boach
22:01
Speaker 17: and his just unbelievable way is just so respectful and
22:07
Speaker 17: and easy to work with, and you know, always wants
22:11
Speaker 17: to prioritize what's best for the organization, and you know,
22:15
Speaker 17: and has never once put himself ahead of that, which
22:19
Speaker 17: speaks to his tremendous humility and and what a great
22:23
Speaker 17: person leader he is. So uh, this was a mutual
22:27
Speaker 17: conversation and in the end, we you know, agreed that
22:31
Speaker 17: this is what's best.
22:32
Speaker 22: Did he express an interest in continuing to manage.
22:37
Speaker 11: He asked questions about the organization?
22:39
Speaker 17: I can't say that he he never asked for an extension.
22:43
Speaker 17: We we you know, it never came to that. So
22:47
Speaker 17: you'd have to ask Boach in terms of the level
22:49
Speaker 17: of interest. But I certainly, you know, and I kind
22:52
Speaker 17: of compare it to twenty twenty three when I met
22:54
Speaker 17: with him in Nashville. There, you know, I could spell
22:57
Speaker 17: out a little bit more as to where we were
22:59
Speaker 17: and what the future holds. And I didn't have all
23:01
Speaker 17: the answers today, which you know makes it challenging for
23:04
Speaker 17: both parties.
23:06
Speaker 22: Okay, and I know we sounds like we're gonna talk
23:09
Speaker 22: later this week, but it sounds like you're talking about
23:12
Speaker 22: a quasi rebuild here or is that a that's.
23:16
Speaker 17: I would not categorize that at all, Jeff, that word
23:19
Speaker 17: has not been said, and I would not categorize that
23:23
Speaker 17: at all. I believe we have a great foundation right
23:26
Speaker 17: now in terms of the core players that we have,
23:31
Speaker 17: and I believe that we can continue to build a
23:34
Speaker 17: winning team even if the payroll does come down.
23:38
Speaker 11: Okay, thank you, Chris. Go back to Evan.
23:46
Speaker 19: So see why, just to clarify, right, you said that
23:48
Speaker 19: nothing was determined. There were no coaches that were notified
23:51
Speaker 19: that they will not be returned. That's still all just
23:53
Speaker 19: up in limbo.
23:54
Speaker 11: Correct, yes.
23:55
Speaker 8: Correct.
23:56
Speaker 11: The other thing is, I I know.
23:58
Speaker 19: That this was again about your situation in your process,
24:02
Speaker 19: but the news out of San Francisco today came came
24:04
Speaker 19: up you know, Buster was asked directly about Boche. Did
24:10
Speaker 19: you feel it was important to get this done even
24:14
Speaker 19: more quickly given how there would be speculation about that situation.
24:21
Speaker 17: You know, Evan, I really didn't take into consideration the
24:23
Speaker 17: San Francisco News. In fact, I really wasn't aware of
24:26
Speaker 17: it at the time we met. I found out, you know, afterwards.
24:30
Speaker 17: But really this is about what's best for Bruce Bochi,
24:35
Speaker 17: what's best for the Texas Rangers, and and aligning our
24:39
Speaker 17: interests and and you know, I think that's that's really
24:43
Speaker 17: what it came down to. And you know, should Boach
24:45
Speaker 17: want to continue to manage, we one hundred percent support
24:49
Speaker 17: him and I would be thrilled to help him in
24:51
Speaker 17: any way. And you know, likewise, should he want to
24:55
Speaker 17: continue in our front office that he has a standing invitation,
25:00
Speaker 17: it would be a tremendous honor for me and the
25:02
Speaker 17: rest of the front office to work alongside Boats and
25:06
Speaker 17: a senior advisor capacity as well. So you know, ultimately
25:09
Speaker 17: I care about Boats I mentally and want the best
25:12
Speaker 17: for him, whatever that is.
25:14
Speaker 19: And the last thing for me you you mentioned earlier,
25:16
Speaker 19: I think to Kennedy that you know, player development would
25:19
Speaker 19: be an aspect of the next manager situation. Uh, are
25:24
Speaker 19: there any other characteristics that you're that you feel like
25:28
Speaker 19: you need to.
25:30
Speaker 11: You need to address.
25:36
Speaker 17: You need to improve our offense, so you know, yeah,
25:41
Speaker 17: there's a lot when you don't reach your goals, Evan,
25:43
Speaker 17: There's a lot that you gotta you have to improve,
25:45
Speaker 17: and so we're gonna be focused on that. We're meeting
25:48
Speaker 17: tomorrow as a group to do our yearly review. We'll
25:50
Speaker 17: meet for several hours tomorrow going over the season and
25:54
Speaker 17: a full in depth review. We'll have pro personnel meetings.
25:59
Speaker 17: You know, there are a lot of great things that
26:00
Speaker 17: are happening here and you know, really I'd like to
26:03
Speaker 17: say we kind of slumped to eighty one wins, you know,
26:07
Speaker 17: with a lot of injuries here at the end, but
26:10
Speaker 17: I'd say we never played our best baseball and so
26:13
Speaker 17: there is a lot to improve, Evan, and the next manager,
26:17
Speaker 17: you know, will be challenged with helping us improve in
26:19
Speaker 17: a lot of areas and doing it potentially with a
26:24
Speaker 17: younger core group of players.
26:27
Speaker 11: Thank you very much, Chris, Thank you, Jared. See what we.
26:35
Speaker 23: Always talk about all the things that led to twenty
26:38
Speaker 23: twenty three and how the team got through the ups
26:41
Speaker 23: and downs, and Boaches is giving a lot of credit
26:44
Speaker 23: for how he weathered that storm.
26:45
Speaker 11: I'm just curious from your perspective, what did he do?
26:49
Speaker 23: How would you characterize the impact he had on that
26:52
Speaker 23: twenty twenty three team.
26:55
Speaker 17: Well, I don't think I've ever met a calmer, steadier person,
27:00
Speaker 17: especially during rough times, than Bruce Boci And I think
27:05
Speaker 17: that really is what stands out in terms of the
27:07
Speaker 17: attributes that he exhibited during that challenging you know, August
27:13
Speaker 17: and September when we weren't playing very good baseball, but
27:17
Speaker 17: Boach was calm, steady, He was the same every day,
27:20
Speaker 17: and uh, he came to work with enthusiasm and a
27:23
Speaker 17: competitive spirit and eventually we got through it, and uh,
27:27
Speaker 17: and then we got in the playoffs and the you know,
27:29
Speaker 17: Boach was at his best really the way he managed
27:32
Speaker 17: a pitching staff and then specifically a bullpen that you know,
27:36
Speaker 17: really didn't have a ton of great options. It wasn't
27:40
Speaker 17: a deep bullpen, but it was a quality bullpen. With
27:42
Speaker 17: the arms we had and boot broke, Boach managed it perfectly.
27:46
Speaker 11: He really was brilliant and it.
27:49
Speaker 17: Was just magical to watch and to enjoy, enjoy and
27:53
Speaker 17: celebrate alongside him.
27:57
Speaker 11: Awesome, Thank you.
27:59
Speaker 22: Back to Jeff, uh So, what did you think of
28:03
Speaker 22: how we did this year under trying circumstances.
28:09
Speaker 17: Well, Jeff, the reality is when we don't reach our
28:12
Speaker 17: goals as the team, we all collectively fall short. And
28:16
Speaker 17: and so that's me, that's Boach, that's the coaching staff,
28:20
Speaker 17: and that's the players. We all have accountability. So it's
28:22
Speaker 17: no one person that's responsible for an underperforming season, just
28:26
Speaker 17: like it's no there's no one person's responsible for the
28:30
Speaker 17: collective success. It's a group effort and we all have
28:34
Speaker 17: to do better. So, you know, I think that's that's
28:37
Speaker 17: just the reality of when you don't achieve your goals,
28:39
Speaker 17: it's everybody.
28:40
Speaker 11: And you know, Boach was was great.
28:42
Speaker 17: His competitive spirit was there every day, his passion, his care,
28:48
Speaker 17: his sense of humor, his humility. We just all collectively
28:52
Speaker 17: fell short.
28:53
Speaker 24: You know, every time we do one of these C
28:55
Speaker 24: ANDJ Barbecue commercials, they tell us to come up with
28:57
Speaker 24: something clever, but honestly, I never know what to say.
29:00
Speaker 15: How about we're CNJ Barbecue. We make barbecue. It's good.
29:04
Speaker 15: People like it. That's why we've been here smoking meats
29:07
Speaker 15: and filling bellies since the eighties.
29:09
Speaker 14: Well, I guess that sums it up.
29:11
Speaker 15: So if you're hungry, come see us. If you need
29:13
Speaker 15: more convincing, well maybe you just don't like happiness.
29:16
Speaker 24: Either way, we'll be here smoking meat like we always do,
29:19
Speaker 24: serving up happiness on a tray.
29:21
Speaker 15: CNJ Barbecue, Let's Eat.

Speaker 1: All right.
29:54
Speaker 2: That was Chris Young, the GM of the Texas Rangers,
29:59
Speaker 2: kind of bristling at the phrase rebuild, but I don't
30:05
Speaker 2: know what you call it when you're when you're getting younger,
30:10
Speaker 2: which they've already said they're getting younger, and the payroll
30:16
Speaker 2: is going down, which means they're going to get rid
30:19
Speaker 2: of some players. We already know that know a few
30:23
Speaker 2: of the players that are going to get gotten you know,
30:29
Speaker 2: he still says, we have a nucleus of good players.
30:32
Speaker 2: They have some good young players. They have a few.
30:35
Speaker 2: But unless they all catch lightning in a bottle like
30:40
Speaker 2: they did in twenty three in that career years, you know,
30:44
Speaker 2: I don't know.
30:45
Speaker 1: We'll see see what happens with this team.
30:50
Speaker 2: We have a long, sordid history of losing up in Arlington,
30:56
Speaker 2: a long history of losing.
31:01
Speaker 1: Frankly, right now.
31:04

33:15
Speaker 29: I'm Nett Williams and today were going out to the
33:16
Speaker 29: Hilaris Fund Centerfoland to visit with the head football coach
33:19
Speaker 29: for the Allen Eagles, Lee Wigginton.
33:21
Speaker 28: How are you doing?
33:22
Speaker 30: Doing great? How are you doing?
33:23
Speaker 28: I'm doing very good. Thank you for asking.
33:25
Speaker 29: Coach twenty twenty four was your best season at Allen
33:28
Speaker 29: High School? What challenges have you and your team faced
33:30
Speaker 29: in the past three years to restore the Allen High
33:32
Speaker 29: School football program to being a real championship threat in
33:35
Speaker 29: the six A Division.
33:37
Speaker 30: Yeah, I don't know. So there's challenges, you know, here
33:41
Speaker 30: any different than anywhere else.
33:43
Speaker 31: You know.
33:43
Speaker 30: You you come into a place where there's some tremendous
33:47
Speaker 30: tradition and history, and you know, you just we've just
33:51
Speaker 30: taken from minute pride and reaching out to the alumni,
33:54
Speaker 30: figuring out the things that have gone on in the
33:58
Speaker 30: past and the great of how all those things took place,
34:03
Speaker 30: and just doing our best to replicate it.
34:07
Speaker 29: Alan had a historic year on the defensive side of
34:09
Speaker 29: the ball last year, only giving up thirteen points a game.
34:12
Speaker 28: How did you build on that for this season?
34:15
Speaker 30: Well, you know, we we schematically, we do a great job.
34:20
Speaker 30: Our staff, coach Argus, our defense coordinator and defensive staff
34:23
Speaker 30: do a tremendous job preparing each week. And then we
34:25
Speaker 30: just got some really good kids, a lot of who
34:30
Speaker 30: we're young and coming back this season.
34:32
Speaker 16: You know.
34:32
Speaker 30: So it's just a you know, it's it's a work
34:36
Speaker 30: in progress that takes place from the first day of
34:39
Speaker 30: off season and building you know, a mindset of culture
34:42
Speaker 30: and all those things, and then build schematically building the
34:47
Speaker 30: package around what they do. And we do a great
34:50
Speaker 30: job of utilizing their strengths and hiding weaknesses that exist.
34:57
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
34:58
Speaker 29: And as great a season as you had last year
35:00
Speaker 29: ended at the hands of a very talented North Crowley squad.
35:03
Speaker 29: What positives do you think your team took away from
35:05
Speaker 29: that to have such a striking season that you've had
35:08
Speaker 29: so far.
35:09
Speaker 30: Well, you know, taking away from that was just realizing
35:13
Speaker 30: that we weren't where we need to be.
35:16
Speaker 8: You know.
35:16
Speaker 30: We we ran into a team in North Crawley that
35:19
Speaker 30: I think was an incredible football team, just so talented,
35:23
Speaker 30: so well coached, executed such a high level. We had
35:27
Speaker 30: scrimmaged them earlier in the year and played them again
35:30
Speaker 30: later in the year and and just realized that there's
35:32
Speaker 30: a gap. And and we've been, you know, not just
35:36
Speaker 30: going in this season, but over the last couple you know,
35:39
Speaker 30: doing everything we can to close that gap. And you know,
35:42
Speaker 30: we feel like we're we're making some strides. But you
35:45
Speaker 30: just don't know how close you get to someone like
35:48
Speaker 30: that until you see them again. You know, they're they're
35:52
Speaker 30: just one of many, though, but they're they're just such
35:54
Speaker 30: a really, really good football team. And again, it's a
36:01
Speaker 30: they pose problems that are different than other teams, but
36:04
Speaker 30: it's just you know, you just constantly trying to prepare
36:08
Speaker 30: yourself to get ready to, you know, against them. Are
36:10
Speaker 30: you a team that can stop a really really really
36:13
Speaker 30: balanced offense or are you a team that can if
36:16
Speaker 30: the team is able to throw fifty times a game
36:17
Speaker 30: at a high level, are you able to defend that
36:19
Speaker 30: and get pressure on the quarterback. If they're a team
36:21
Speaker 30: that's going to commit to running the ball and do
36:24
Speaker 30: a tremendous job in the run game, are you are
36:26
Speaker 30: you designed to stop the run? And then you know
36:28
Speaker 30: saying can be said on the other side of the ball. So,
36:31
Speaker 30: you know, much of our preparation certainly thinks about teams
36:35
Speaker 30: that you could face and where your path could go,
36:38
Speaker 30: but so much more of it is it's just on
36:40
Speaker 30: us and just trying to continue to build a product
36:43
Speaker 30: that we think can travel, that can play well in
36:46
Speaker 30: the road, play well in the playoffs, play well and
36:49
Speaker 30: bad weather, play well in a dull on whatever, you know.
36:53
Speaker 30: So it's taken from that game is simply that we
36:57
Speaker 30: had a long way to go and we're trying to
36:59
Speaker 30: close that.
37:00
Speaker 29: Yeah, and your program's run so far has been nothing
37:03
Speaker 29: short of domination. What challenges or setbacks rather do you
37:07
Speaker 29: think has lent to your success most this season? And
37:10
Speaker 29: where do you think your team can work on despite
37:12
Speaker 29: their success?
37:16
Speaker 30: I mean in terms of just what we need to
37:18
Speaker 30: uh to do, continue to improve upon or or work on,
37:22
Speaker 30: you know, just I'll start with the offensive side of
37:24
Speaker 30: the ball. You know, we uh, we've got a lot
37:27
Speaker 30: of young players you know, in the trenches right now
37:32
Speaker 30: and just continuing to find who we are in in uh,
37:36
Speaker 30: in offensive the ball. You know, how are we going
37:38
Speaker 30: to be able Like we like to discussed earlier, how
37:40
Speaker 30: are we going to be able to move the ball consistently?
37:44
Speaker 30: You know if you get into a district ball game
37:47
Speaker 30: and hopefully a playoff ball game to where whether it's
37:50
Speaker 30: going to prevent any balls being thrown in the air.
37:53
Speaker 30: So so how are you going to win a game
37:56
Speaker 30: like that? You know? So, so that's something that we've
37:59
Speaker 30: got to continue to build upon and improve upon as
38:02
Speaker 30: a team. Defensively, is just continue to develop depth. That
38:08
Speaker 30: would be the number one thing, just you know, knowing
38:11
Speaker 30: that you know, when you get fatigued or when you
38:13
Speaker 30: you know, you get an ankle injury or whatever here
38:15
Speaker 30: or there, you know that you have quality of people
38:17
Speaker 30: that can go in and you don't miss a beat.
38:19
Speaker 30: And then the next thing is just finding can can
38:24
Speaker 30: we play is good? The first play of a series?
38:27
Speaker 30: If if we get into a twelve thirteen play drive
38:31
Speaker 30: and that's something that you know, you you try to
38:34
Speaker 30: prepare for in practice and you just don't get a
38:37
Speaker 30: lot of in game time. But you know, again against
38:40
Speaker 30: really good ball teams and then as your season goes along,
38:43
Speaker 30: that's going to happen. So how do you both physically
38:47
Speaker 30: and mentally, right, how do you stay dialed in for
38:50
Speaker 30: a long drive and then special teams? It's just, uh,
38:54
Speaker 30: it's just a matter of execution and desire for us,
38:58
Speaker 30: you know, are we going to continue you continually step
39:01
Speaker 30: on the field with a burning desire to play harder
39:04
Speaker 30: and play longer than you're willing to play from whistle
39:07
Speaker 30: to whistle, you know, taking care of the ball, kicking
39:11
Speaker 30: the ball, catching the ball, those things. Of course, you know,
39:13
Speaker 30: we will continue to improve on. But as as much
39:15
Speaker 30: as anything, it's just that desire to strain longer than
39:19
Speaker 30: you'll strain.
39:20
Speaker 29: Well put and a little pivot here, what have you
39:23
Speaker 29: seen from this group that makes them unique compared to
39:25
Speaker 29: past on teams?
39:29
Speaker 30: You know, I don't know, you know, just I wasn't
39:32
Speaker 30: here in the in the glory years. Just just uh,
39:36
Speaker 30: you know, what I've learned and paid attention to from
39:40
Speaker 30: Afar was just such pride in the community. Right there,
39:44
Speaker 30: There's a group that that loved being Alan Eagles and
39:48
Speaker 30: loved being a part of this community. And it took
39:50
Speaker 30: tremendous pride in representing from the town. And and and
39:54
Speaker 30: I think the program kind of is built with that mentality.
39:57
Speaker 30: And what's you about us probably is that you know,
40:04
Speaker 30: we talk about that and talk about that history so
40:07
Speaker 30: much that these guys, while they have that same pride
40:12
Speaker 30: and they have that same love for the community, and
40:15
Speaker 30: everything they do is about trying to make the community
40:18
Speaker 30: proud of how they play the game, not just at
40:21
Speaker 30: at a high level of execution, but also playing the
40:25
Speaker 30: game the way the football was supposed to be played.
40:28
Speaker 30: But they also do it with thoughts of the alumni
40:31
Speaker 30: in their mind. You know, they want to make those
40:33
Speaker 30: proud who built this program, so not unique, just maybe honoring.
40:38
Speaker 29: Yeah, you're playing McKenny this Friday. What are you doing
40:41
Speaker 29: to prepare for that matchup? So what are you expecting
40:44
Speaker 29: on McKinny And how do you think your teams will clash?
40:47
Speaker 30: Well, I mean we've played them a few times over
40:50
Speaker 30: the less, you know, since I've been here, and there's
40:54
Speaker 30: always so talented, very very physical, and they take pride
40:58
Speaker 30: in being physical. You know, it's when when Alan and
41:03
Speaker 30: McKinney plays, due to proximity, you know it's going to
41:08
Speaker 30: have a lot of mean, all these kids know each other.
41:11
Speaker 30: They they know each other's friends, they know what's going
41:14
Speaker 30: on in the classrooms with each other. So there's no secrets.
41:17
Speaker 30: It's just a matter of you know, execution. But then
41:23
Speaker 30: really for us, it's just that mentality of understanding that
41:27
Speaker 30: every single snap offense, defense, special teams is going to
41:32
Speaker 30: be a dog site and how how do you prepare
41:35
Speaker 30: yourself and how do we prepare a team to be
41:38
Speaker 30: willing to do that for sixty seventy eighty ninety snaps
41:41
Speaker 30: whatever that is that you're going to play and doing
41:44
Speaker 30: it in a way that again, the way the game
41:48
Speaker 30: is supposed to be played right, doing it in a
41:50
Speaker 30: way that's not going to bring fifteen yarders into responding
41:56
Speaker 30: to two actions here there, So setting the tone with
42:00
Speaker 30: our physicality, but not getting carried away to where it
42:03
Speaker 30: becomes a detriment to the flow of the game.
42:07
Speaker 8: MHM.
42:09
Speaker 29: Last question for you here, what does long term success
42:11
Speaker 29: look like for this program, both on and off the
42:13
Speaker 29: field and accordance to your with your philosophy as a
42:16
Speaker 29: coach and perhaps even just a role model in general.
42:20
Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean long term you know, on the field,
42:23
Speaker 30: you know, and Allen would be to get back to
42:25
Speaker 30: where they've been right, to get back to uh the
42:30
Speaker 30: level of state championship contention and the only way you're
42:35
Speaker 30: you're able to do that is by literally improving every
42:37
Speaker 30: single day, but so much more than that is the
42:41
Speaker 30: other piece of the question is where we are off
42:44
Speaker 30: the field or where we are when these these uh,
42:47
Speaker 30: these men come to us and then leave us, would
42:50
Speaker 30: be that they become better men. You know that they
42:54
Speaker 30: graduate this program and they know that simply being a
42:57
Speaker 30: part of the Allen Eagle football program that they're better
43:00
Speaker 30: spared for life. They're better prepared to be dads, the
43:02
Speaker 30: better prepared to be husbands, the better prepared to be
43:04
Speaker 30: the leaders of alan or of their communities that they
43:07
Speaker 30: go to or the state of the country. And just
43:11
Speaker 30: trying to continue to find different ways to do that.
43:15
Speaker 30: You know, we're going to We're going to do a
43:17
Speaker 30: lot of things relationally that helped build that and set
43:21
Speaker 30: that foundation, whether it be doing certain functions with them
43:26
Speaker 30: and a woman of influence in their life, or an
43:30
Speaker 30: event with a man of influence in their life, or
43:32
Speaker 30: we've reached out and we have a group called the
43:34
Speaker 30: Men of Connection, where we've reached out two successful businessmen
43:39
Speaker 30: and have them plugged into our program to where they
43:42
Speaker 30: are around our athletes on a regular basis of just
43:45
Speaker 30: trying to expose them to stuff other than what they see.
43:49
Speaker 8: Right.
43:49
Speaker 30: You know, you grew up in a home and there's
43:52
Speaker 30: certain men that you knew family members, you know, maybe
43:55
Speaker 30: your teachers, your coaches, your pastors. What we want all
44:00
Speaker 30: add to that, and we want to find different men
44:03
Speaker 30: that possibly or in careers or have gone down paths
44:07
Speaker 30: that are interesting to them to just give them more
44:09
Speaker 30: tools to where they can be successful. So we want
44:12
Speaker 30: to enhance the relationships of those significant women in their life,
44:16
Speaker 30: enhance relationships of the significant men in the life, build
44:19
Speaker 30: on those many connection to give them other options, and
44:21
Speaker 30: then just constantly put them out there in ways of
44:25
Speaker 30: showing appreciation. You know what we do. And he's like
44:28
Speaker 30: a teacher. They're in our open week. Next week we
44:30
Speaker 30: do a teacher appreciation breakfast where you know, our guys
44:34
Speaker 30: will get up here at six am start cooking for
44:36
Speaker 30: every staff member at Allen High School and just different
44:41
Speaker 30: things like that just to show that, you know, it's fun.
44:46
Speaker 30: You know, our guys it's about getting to teach and
44:49
Speaker 30: show appreciation and talk about what that means. But it
44:52
Speaker 30: also they learn that they get to feel the enjoyment
44:56
Speaker 30: of doing something like that when you put a smile
44:59
Speaker 30: on someone else's and you realize how awesome that is,
45:02
Speaker 30: and you want to remlicate that over and over, And
45:05
Speaker 30: what we believe is that's just gonna make this world

Speaker 37: So yeah, it was pretty much the love of the
55:06
Speaker 37: game that I really feeled out about.
55:08
Speaker 38: What is it about the nickel position in this defense
55:11
Speaker 38: in particular that's such a key spot?
55:13
Speaker 8: Yeah, uh cause it's really hard to play.
55:16
Speaker 37: Uh, Like you gotta play man tzone sometimes come in
55:19
Speaker 37: to fit.
55:19
Speaker 8: Pretty God, you pretty much got new the whole defense. Yeah.
55:22
Speaker 33: What what was the conversation like because you were outside

55:29
Speaker 33: you to that?
55:29
Speaker 8: And oh yeah, no, I loved it.
55:31
Speaker 37: I actually loved it cause that shows that I'm more
55:33
Speaker 37: versatile and I could do more.
55:35
Speaker 8: So that pretty much was it?
55:36
Speaker 37: Like I loved it when like I was like as
55:38
Speaker 37: soon as they asked me, I was like, yeah, I
55:40

Speaker 37: Probably like two month years old, so it was like
55:57
Speaker 37: new and like she just every time I saw her,
55:59
Speaker 37: I'm yeah, I gotta do this far.
56:01
Speaker 11: I don't want to come here the first time.
56:02
Speaker 7: In defensive Portnator, he could get a little little crazy
56:05
Speaker 7: on third downs.
56:06
Speaker 8: Yeah.
56:06
Speaker 7: Do you feel like the season is trending a little
56:08
Speaker 7: bit more towards.
56:09
Speaker 8: That, Yes, yes, exactly, because we got a lot of
56:13
Speaker 8: d line.
56:13
Speaker 37: That need to eat basically, and and they all good.
56:17
Speaker 37: So he throwing some different type of packages informations, why is.
56:20
Speaker 1: This team make some many penalties?
56:22
Speaker 8: And how do you guys stop that? Uh?
56:23
Speaker 37: We just gotta be more discipline. Like the thing uh
56:26
Speaker 37: the echo focus on just us being more disciplined. It
56:29
Speaker 37: it's really just nine uh uh focused penalties, That's all
56:32
Speaker 37: it is.
56:33
Speaker 2: How much did y'all's performance on Saturday just give you
56:36
Speaker 2: that much more confidence than.
56:37
Speaker 24: What y'all are able to do?
56:38
Speaker 8: Uh?
56:39
Speaker 37: They give us a say, a lot of confidence because
56:41
Speaker 37: it was the first s C one and I don't
56:43
Speaker 37: know how long and uh the only thing we do
56:46
Speaker 37: is just it just take it down a game by
56:48
Speaker 37: game basically.
56:49
Speaker 8: That's so weird.
56:49
Speaker 39: Did that we feel different for you guys on defense?
56:51
Speaker 39: I mean it was your best performance of the season.
56:53
Speaker 39: Did something click in practice?
56:55
Speaker 8: Yes?
56:55
Speaker 37: It all started Monday because he always talked about how
56:58
Speaker 37: we got finished and just execute the game plan.
57:00
Speaker 8: That's what all we did.
57:01
Speaker 1: So what's different about this team?
57:03
Speaker 8: Let's say last year at.
57:04
Speaker 37: This time, Uh, we all more uh about like like
57:08
Speaker 37: it it's boreding, I think because we all like last
57:10
Speaker 37: year even though I wasn't uh here and playing I
57:13
Speaker 37: uh I kind of like felt like we all wasn't
57:15
Speaker 37: like more together. It seem like this year like we
57:17
Speaker 37: all more together and we all playing together?
57:20
Speaker 11: Is it you started to study them. Just what have
57:21
Speaker 11: you seen the Mississippi State in that offense?
57:24
Speaker 20: Uh?
57:24
Speaker 37: Like they run a spread offense and that's why I realized.
57:26
Speaker 37: And they really just throw the ball a lot and
57:28
Speaker 37: they run it. So it's pretty much gonna be like
57:30
Speaker 37: a violence skin.
57:32
Speaker 39: Any conversations with Mario about some other.
57:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, yep, all the time. Man.
57:35
Speaker 37: I The first thing I told him, I'm like, man, like,
57:37
Speaker 37: just tell me all your old players, say no.
57:41
Speaker 33: Yeah, what does just uh what do you think's led
57:44
Speaker 33: to this uh incredible starts for fall?
57:47
Speaker 36: Uh?
57:47
Speaker 37: He had put the work in this offseason. Like that
57:49
Speaker 37: is one thing I uh do wanna say, cause that
57:51
Speaker 37: he put the working for him to be.
57:52
Speaker 8: Good this year. Cause we I like last.
57:54
Speaker 37: Year I kept telling him like, I said, you good.
57:56
Speaker 8: But you like you got another level and he's taking
57:59
Speaker 8: it to that level.
57:59
Speaker 36: So what Mario tell you to look out for?
58:01
Speaker 8: Uh it it was just like the uh type of
58:03
Speaker 8: rocks they run. That's it. It was like no planes.
58:06
Speaker 8: You was telling them how like they run ay rocks
58:08
Speaker 8: and everything.
58:09
Speaker 38: So obviously last Saturday was just a really great performance
58:13
Speaker 38: from your defense. What were some of the big picture
58:15
Speaker 38: things that y'all looked back at that film. They all
58:17
Speaker 38: can take from that to try and emulate some of
58:19
Speaker 38: those things as the season gets on.
58:21
Speaker 37: To be honest, like, we ain't really do a lot
58:22
Speaker 37: of things spectacular, like how we is. The only thing
58:25
Speaker 37: we did was just play hard and execute the game plan. Yeah,
58:28
Speaker 37: and the only thing we gotta do is just keep
58:29
Speaker 37: doing that up to the week by week.
58:31
Speaker 36: A couple more whatever brous is he the most about
58:34
Speaker 36: your offense?
58:36
Speaker 8: Uh? How like?
58:36
Speaker 37: Uh, the receivers, the line, pretty much everybody, because we
58:39
Speaker 37: are way more explosive than we are there this years.
58:41
Speaker 8: So that's why I can say what to like facing
58:43
Speaker 8: the receivers and parties.
58:45
Speaker 37: Uh, I ain't gonna lie, it's really good because like
58:49
Speaker 37: they really like the damn there like the best receiver
58:50
Speaker 37: cording SEC. So it's going up uh going against them
58:53
Speaker 37: every day, it really helps the Uh secondary.
58:56
Speaker 39: You've been here a while obviously, pett start since twenty sixteen.
58:59
Speaker 39: Does this team this year feel different than in years
59:01
Speaker 39: past for you?
59:02
Speaker 8: Yes?
59:03
Speaker 37: Yes, I actually liked him uh the first year as well,
59:05
Speaker 37: because that that team and this team is like remind
59:09
Speaker 37: me of the same cub we all together.
