This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Good Morning Football is a production of the best football coaches on the planet. And I said it again, an old friend of the show of Sean McDermott. What's up,

coach? It's great to be here with you guys. It's great to see you guys. So I mean this differently than I've ever meant this before. I want to ask you, how's life? You've been coming on the show for years. It's a little bit different. Now you're in this, I think they call it a gap year. What are you up to and what are you doing? Gap year.

That's what they say.

They use that in school or something, right?

You need a year off to go explore.

Now they're using it for coaches who are out for a year, right? No, I tell you, it's been fun. It's been a lot of fun. Getting a chance to lean in with my family a little bit more than what we're normally used to as coaches and the schedule that we have. And also using the year to grow, right?

Talk to a lot of people.

Dan Gable.

Yeah, Iowa for a way.

I spend some time talking to Dan Gable, Iowa guy.

Yep.

And Mark Dagnold of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And just trying to figure out hey best practices

from a leadership standpoint and you know this is something I want to do I want to get back into

coaching next season I want to be back on the sideline and so using the year to really grow and

hone my skills and I'm had a chance to talk to some some pretty cool people already well that's

awesome but you mentioned you get to spend more time with your family,

which is pretty sick. I mean, that's pretty cool. You've got three kids. So what's more challenging

for you getting a schedule ready for a football season or handling all your kids' activities?

I'm sure you could relate, right? We can all relate. No, it's, I think it's, it's been great, getting a chance to be around the family, lean in with them, and, you know, be a part of the drop-off in the morning for school and going to the grocery store, whatever it is.
