00:00 Now, my name went on and went high as well.
00:04 Well, his book got shut down, I think.
00:06 [laughter]
00:07 We was all happy to see Donovan.
00:09 I got a chance to meet Donovan, my dad.
00:11 I got to meet all these great coaches.
00:12 So as you all continue to hear me, that's my envision of Syracuse.
00:17 That's what I saw.
00:18 That's what I want.
00:19 So I'm going to consanguously talk about the pastimony of Delano Harrison.
00:23 Because I got a chance to work with Delano, and I've seen how he worked,
00:27 and I've tried to mimic him, and I could never be as good of a coach as Delano.
00:31 Like, he forgot more football than I know.
00:34 So I've never been on that level of it, but what I do,
00:36 I'm going to promise him because my life is still close to this bar,
00:39 we're going to bust out of it and get this thing back that way.
00:42 That's what I'm looking for, guys.
00:44 This isn't about me.
00:45 This isn't about all that.
00:46 This is about bringing the tradition of the great football that was here before me,
00:49 and before I got here, I got to go back to that era.
00:52 I made the call to pastimony.
00:54 I said, "Coach, how would you feel if I became head coach of the Syracuse?"
00:59 He said, "Well, I haven't been there in 20 years.
01:01 I don't really have to say that.
01:03 I thought the Giants were a good guy, just went back with the White Freys,
01:06 all the fame things, but just the fact that you called it, that's commendable.
01:10 I appreciate that."
01:11 And I said, "Well, would you be okay with it?"
01:13 He said, "Big picky, you got my blessing."
01:16 I won't fall to that at the job.
01:18 One last thing, I told my wife before, right after we got done with the SEC championship,
01:24 which sucks, after we got done with that, I was just like, "I'm the head coach of Syracuse."
01:31 I won't go back.
01:32 I'm here to support my guys.
01:33 I'm here to do everything possible.
01:35 I hope he still gives me my check because we did help him, but I'm completely here.
01:40 I'm locked in here.
01:41 I'm with the recruiting.
01:42 We're trying to have official visits coming up this weekend.
01:45 We're full, too, man.
01:46 I got this guy right here, man.
01:48 This is the support that we got.
01:50 It just makes me feel comfortable.
01:52 I know he's tired of me calling him.
01:53 I call him about 25 times a day.
01:55 I just constantly call him and bring him.
01:57 The support you get from the athletic director, the help that it comes from,
02:01 I'll let it be full, man, because that's what we're here.
02:03 I don't want them to think that I'm ass-stepping in.
02:05 We're full, man.
02:06 I'm full, go Syracuse.
