Guaranteed human.

So I'm talking to you.

It's the middle of spring practice right now.

It's the third weekend, fourth weekend in March.

But the last time most of America saw you is the ending of the national championship game.

So very, very briefly, one word answer, if you want to.

Describe life in the immediate aftermath of that and like realistically

as a human. How long does it take before you say, all right, 20, 26 season, let's go?

One word between that time and now relentless, every part of every process. And that's a quick turn to page.

I mean, because you're already behind on every aspect of recruiting, right?

You're going to have to start your off-season program a little bit later.

And that's already mapped out and planned out, but it still requires a lot of logistical

just adjustments.

So it just hasn't stopped in a good way, you know.

But you do, you do find time to assess every game you play, even that one, especially

being the last game.

And even though your team, part of it graduates and moves on and some of your coaches move

on, you do.

And you attack that like you attack anything else and find ways to get better. What's the difference in knowing, or we don't have another game after this? You're still going to go back, you're going to break down film pretty meticulously, but you're not preparing that team for anything more. So you're basically learning about yourself. You're learning about players who are going to come back. But what's the difference in that process versus a normal game week process? You know, just more time because however

someone came at you, anything that someone did successfully against you, it's going to show up again

until you fix it. So, and then things that you did successfully are going to be attacked as well.
