00:00 >> We talk about outside noise a lot in our program.
00:03 I guess the reality here is one, my name and our program would never be in a topic
00:07 of conversation for another school if we didn't have something here that everybody
00:12 else wanted.
00:13 And the reason we have something here that everybody else wants,
00:16 that's because of what our players, our coaches, the support that exists here,
00:20 we're gonna have created.
00:21 I think I've been really, really clear here since day one.
00:24 Everything I want exists right here.
00:26 I'm not going anywhere.
00:27 There's zero chance that I would be coaching somewhere else.
00:30 I've got unfinished business here.
00:31 There's a lot that I wanna accomplish here at Oregon.
00:34 My number one priority is being elite here at Oregon.
00:37 And we have the resources, the tools.
00:40 Anybody that can't understand why you would wanna be here at this place doesn't
00:45 understand exactly what exists here, right?
00:47 Like what I've said before, with a 13 year old, a 12 year old, and
00:50 a 10 year old, to be able to raise your family in a community like this,
00:55 to be able to compete for championships and
00:57 have the ability to get the resources you need.
00:59 A lot of coaches hang on to these moments and they don't do anything or
01:03 don't say anything.
01:03 One, because they don't want egg on their face when they decide to do something
01:06 else, right?
01:07 Two, because they're concerned about things that I'm not concerned about,
01:10 like getting a better contract.
01:11 I'm taken care of extremely well here at Oregon.
01:13 I have the resources I need here at Oregon to be really, really successful.
01:16 I'm not motivated by that.
01:18 I'm motivated by winning.
01:19 I'm motivated by being elite here.
01:21 And our players deserve my complete focus.
01:25 Our fans deserve the best product on the field.
01:28 So it's outside noise.
01:29 It didn't matter before.
01:30 It doesn't matter now.
01:31 I'll continue to say it till I'm blue in the face.
01:33 I wanna be here at Oregon.
01:34 That hasn't changed.
01:35 That won't change.
