  Speaker 1: We're back with Jim Moore the UKON Football Coaches Show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about halftime speeches. I'm not in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: there because I'm in the broadcast booth, coach, but you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: were attempting to do a speech. You talked, You told
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: this story after the game and the team just burst
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: out of the locker room and they weren't waiting around
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: for you. What did you make of that? That must
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: have been something different and it must have told you
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that this team was ready to get back out and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: get after it in the second half.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we usually go out with about three and a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: half four minutes left on the clock, and you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: so I usually go in and leave the I talk
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to the team. What I do is when we come
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: off the field right at the end of the half,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: as I gathered the team and talk to him right
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: then and then let them relax and then just hit
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: him with something quick before we go out on the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: field before the start of the second half. And this week,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I was in there, you know, kind of standing back
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: observing what they were doing, checking their energy, you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: what they were talking about, and they were they were
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: just kind of getting it going, you know, and so
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I kind of just stood there and all the next
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: thing I know, they just charged the door and ran
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: out on the field, you know, about a minute and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a half, two minutes early. And I was fine with that.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You know, it was great. I didn't need to say
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: thing to him. They you know, their actions are much
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: more important than my words, and their accountability to each other.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: That peer to peer accountability is the most important thing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And I felt that they not only trusted each other,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: but they were challenging each other in a very positive
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: way to go out and be a better football team.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So nothing I could have said would have added any
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: value at that moment. They had it and I really
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: appreciated that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the aftermath of a winning a one score
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: game like that seventeen ten, we heard from a lot
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of players who were saying they were trying to uplift
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the other unit, whether it's offense, defense, whatever it may be.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That is a positive, it seems to me because, as
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you say, the players are the players, and they make plays,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and when they're boosting each other's confidence and you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: pumping each other up when things aren't going one hundred
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: percent right, that's got to be a real major contributor
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to Yukon having success this year.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I think it's so important that we always realize that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: it's always about the team, and the team is all
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of us. The team is the players, the coaches, the staff,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's everybody that touches this program and has even a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: one percent impact on our ability to win a football game.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And so we talk about performance and being able to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: trust each other and support each other is so critical.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And you're going to have times in a season when
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: one plays one side of the ball is playing better
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: than the other two sides of the ball. And I'm
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: including special teams there, and it's important that fingers don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: get pointed. And we've all seen what happens when people
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: start pointing fingers rather than then say, hey, man, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: got you. You just keep plugging away and we'll keep
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: locking them down on defense, or hey, you guys, you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: know you're going to get a stop, but we're going
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to keep scoring point on offense, or hey, we're going
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to keep setting up with field position on special teams,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: those kinds of things. And so that's the kind of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: energy and the kind of attitude that it takes to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: have them winning football team, basketball team, baseball team, anything,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because you know, no one's ever played a perfect game.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I guess pitchers have pitched perfect games, but they I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: just appreciate that our guys have the maturity to hang
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in there, stick together, have a real, I think, an
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: emotional intelligence about what it means to be a good
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: teammate and a good team member.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the defense holds excuse me, rice to ten first
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: downs only one hundred and seventy yards. There were seven
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: three and outs that the defense delivered. I think that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: really important to obviously keep momentum going even when you're
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: not doing anything on offense, you're giving them the ball
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: back and you're giving them opportunities. The defense in this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: game by the Huskies, I mean, this is something that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: has been developed. It seems to be getting better week
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to week. Last three games, you give them up fifty
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: three points. That's about seventeen points a game. I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you're gonna win some football games if you keep the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: other team's offense or the other team from scoring less
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: than twenty a game.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: We have really good coaches who have a really great
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: understanding of this scheme. They've done an excellent job of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: recognize recognizing what our players do well on an individual
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: basis and putting them a position to maximize their strengths
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and minimize their weaknesses. And then the most important thing
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: is we have a group of players that really care,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that work their tails off on a daily basis, that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: do the work that's necessary, that take the hard coaching,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that have a mature attitude about them and try to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: take it from the practice field to the game field,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you know, every week. And that's how you come a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: better football team. And if all those things aren't working together,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it's tough to be successful. And we've just got to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: make sure that we keep emphasizing the things that help
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: us win football games. And that's the work that we
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: do during the week. It's the attention to detail, it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the extra study, it's the right mindset, it's the execution,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: it's really it's just it's putting in the work, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and right now we're doing that and we got to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: continue to do it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, week tweak, that's for sure. Ronte Jones actually mentioned
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that about Matt Brocky. He was talking about how hard
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he coaches him. He said, but that's okay. I don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: mind when he does it. And that's usually a good
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: sign too, because you know, some guys they don't like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: coaches kicking him in the butt forty eight hours a day. Right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you want a little bit of this, a little bit
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of that. But Ronte, from what he was saying, is
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: fine with whatever coach is going to bring to the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: table that's going to make us better.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: It's my experience in coaching, and I've been around some
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of the best to ever do it. Players. What I'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: saying is it great players want to be coach hard.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: They want to be coached hard. You know, you go
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: back to a guy like Steve Young, who's in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, And if Steve was supposed to put
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a slant on the front pad as opposed to the backpad,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: or the back pad as supposed to the front pad,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and he didn't put it right there, and you said
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: good through he said, no, what you know, coach me,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: coach me, coached me. Same thing with Peyton and I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: remember with you know, stories with my dad. You know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Peyton wanted to be coached hard. He didn't want anyone
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to cut him any slack. All you have to do
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: is listen to the great Tom Brady talk about you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: he wanted to be coached hard, and great players want
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to be coached hard because they want the best to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: come out of themselves all the time. And that's the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: coach's job is. A coach's job is to push you
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: further than you believe, you know you can go, to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: take you beyond what your self imposed limitations are. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: so as a staff, that's our philosophy. Coach them hard,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: love them harder. But we're going to coach their asses hard.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And the great ones want that. And if they don't
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: want that, then I don't want them. So it's mutual.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: That's pretty simple. That's good math. I like that. All right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: We'll be back with more of the Yukon Football Coaches Show.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Got to talk about Georgia State the Panthers coming in
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: for this Friday night game Friday Night Lights at Wrenschler Fields.
• 7:22
