| 0:00.0 | You know, I think the story yesterday, not only Joe Brady getting the job up there and all the stuff coming out of the Jets facility and all the news and Tanner-Aingstrom stepping away, he wasn't fired, by the way. |
| 0:12.0 | He basically did not want to be demoted. |
| 0:14.1 | And I don't blame him at all for not wanting to hang around if they are bringing in a new offensive coordinator, |
| 0:21.2 | which everything is trending towards and defense coordinator, which everything is trending |
| 0:25.0 | towards. Because remember, you know, when these guys get hired, when offensive and defensive |
| 0:30.8 | coordinators get hired, they don't want to go into a building where they don't have their |
| 0:36.1 | guys with them teaching their systems. |
| 0:39.2 | They don't want to call somebody else's defense. They don't want to call somebody else's |
| 0:43.2 | offense. They don't want to have to teach a whole group of guys, a whole new plan of |

| 1:07.4 | that you have on your roster to see whether or not I could work with them or |
| 1:11.6 | have worked with them somewhere else and if they would understand what I am trying to do. |
| 1:17.0 | Because there's nothing worse than a guy, like say a Jim Leonard who's probably going to go to |
| 1:20.7 | Buffalo now or a Wink Martindale that would want to come in and all of a sudden say, |
| 1:25.5 | okay, Aaron, you're going to call the defensive plays, |
| 1:28.2 | but I'm doing what? I mean, I've been around long enough. This is my chance. Jim Leonard |
| 1:33.0 | will never take this job because Jim Leonard's looking to be able to become his own defensive |
| 1:38.3 | coordinator. He doesn't want to be a bag handler for somebody. That's why Joe Brady most likely |
| 1:43.9 | is going to go get Jim Leonard, |
| 1:45.2 | and Joe Brady is going to bring in Jim Leonard as a defense coordinator in Buffalo. I would think |
