This episode of Purple Insider is presented by Fandul.

Carl says, I don't know how he could say it's a result-based thing with also ignoring the results.

Yeah, no, I, and this is something I struggle with all the time, Carl, myself is,

is that when people say process over results,

I'm like, okay, like I get what you're saying is that you want to draw conclusions from the right

things. So if you make a stupid decision and you throw the ball up into the air senselessly, and it bounces off of somebody's helmet, hits the referee, lands on a squirrel, and then your receiver picks it up and runs it into the end zone.

I mean, that's not repeatable.

You're not going to say, well, great job.

You made the worst decision in the world, but it had to bounce off a squirrel. Like, that's not how you do this. It's making good decisions repeatedly with good technique and all that sort of. That's a process thing. Where I don't agree is when people say, well, it's not about the results. And that goes for play calling too. And I love, I listened to Zach Loz podcast a lot. And he had an interview years ago with Stan Van Gundy where he said to Van Gundy, like, hey, remember this one play and, hey, you had a really good inbound play for that. You got an open look. And Stan said, I didn't have a good inbound play there. He's like, what do you mean?

The guy got a wide open shot.

It was a good play.

And he's like, well, if it didn't work, then I didn't call the right play.

And I think that there's a, we've gone a little too far into the like, hey, if, if it didn't

work out, then as long as long as I can justify it. that's that's not how this works it's not how

anything works of as long as I could justify it I am right and I had the right process like I don't

I don't know if everything gets that free pass like that I think football people and across

sports love it because every time they're asked

about something that went wrong, they're like, well, I was actually right. You're like, oh, okay. All right.

Well, I thought I saw the guy intercept the pass. So, but I guess, you know, and look, I actually like

the third down call because that play happens all the time and it works and Jefferson's great.

And like I agreed with that one.

I didn't like the other one later, the third and two and fourth and two.
