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 Anstrom stepping away, he wasn't fired, by the way.

0:10.5

He basically did not want to be demoted.

0:12.6

And I don't blame him at all for not wanting to hang around if they are bringing in a new offense coordinator, which everything is trending towards and defense coordinator, which everything is trending towards.

0:25.1

Because remember, you know, when these guys get hired, when offensive and defensive

0:29.3

coordinators get hired, they don't want to go into a building where they don't have their

0:34.6

guys with them teaching their systems. They don't want to call

0:39.2

somebody else's defense. They don't want to call somebody else's offense. They don't want to have

0:42.7

to teach a whole group of guys, a whole new plan of attack in the way that we go about things.

0:49.3

So if it is, let's just use the name John Smith. If John Smith is the coveted defensive coordinator, he's probably telling the Jets, yeah, I would

0:57.8

like to take the job, but I need my guys in the building with me coaching what I normally

coach.

1:04.1

And let me take a look at the list of coaches that you have on your roster to see whether

1:08.1

or not I could work with them or have work with them somewhere else

1:11.7

and if they would understand what I am trying to do. Because there's nothing worse than a guy,

1:17.4

like say a Jim Leonard who's probably going to go to Buffalo now, or a Wink Martindale that would

1:21.5

want to come in and all of a sudden say, okay, Aaron, you're going to call the defensive plays,

1:26.6

but I'm doing what? I mean, I've

1:28.8

been around long enough. This is my chance. Jim Leonard will never take this job because Jim

1:34.0

Leonard's looking to be able to become his own defensive coordinator. He doesn't want to be a

1:38.9

bag handler for somebody. That's why Joe Brady most likely is going to go get Jim Leonard, and

1:43.9

Joe Brady is going to bring in Jim Leonard and Joe Brady is going to

1:44.6

bring in Jim Leonard as a defense coordinator in Buffalo. I would think that makes total sense to me.
