00:00What's real familiar and what put a smile on your face?
00:02Well, there's a lot of the same walls that are up here.
00:06I think just in terms of a lot of the things that the core tenants of the program
00:10has been cool to see those resonate and continue to build and
00:13continue to stay, especially with Coach Fish.
00:17But I think a lot of the new additions in terms of the players that are up on the walls
00:21and guys that are celebrated there, it's really, really cool to see a lot of the guys
00:24that I was fortunate enough to coach to be able to be on those walls.
00:28What was kind of your first reaction when you heard Coach Fish's name kind of get
00:32floated for this job and maybe started to feel like a possibility?
00:35Honestly, the logistics of moving three young kids kind of went through my wife and
00:40I's mind, but excited, just being able to come back to a place that I consider home
00:45and being around family, especially with my wives that are right down the road.
00:50I think that was just ecstatic to be able to be back.
00:55How do you feel you've grown as a coach under Fish?
00:58How do you feel you've grown and evolved as a coach under Fish?
01:00I think a lot of the things, especially with Coach Fish,
01:03are being able to have a voice kind of within the head coaching decisions and
01:07kind of knowing his mental process about what he's doing.
01:09I think he's an unbelievable man, just in terms of what he's allowed,
01:13in terms of my family to be around the office and be around players.
01:16And I do think that a lot of the time it can become coach talk when you say, hey,
01:21this is a family environment, but being around a head coach that really embodies
01:25that I think has been fantastic, quite honestly.
01:27After practice.
