00:00 I'll just say this about my team, why are we so concerned with somebody who has a year
00:04 on their contract, has been locked in, and has wanted to just play, coach football.
00:10 We don't ask anybody else if they need to come back for another year or anything else.
00:15 I just think it's doing him a disservice.
00:17 This guy's been locked in from the very get go, but yet we're worried about if he's coming back
00:21 or not. He's been locked in and I appreciate it because that's only created more dissension
00:27 for players and coaches. We just want to focus on one goal. He wants to focus on one goal.
00:33 And I just think that's fair. I think everybody likes to talk about, oh, he might take a year
00:38 off. He might do this. He's only got one year. I just think, why would he answer a question like
00:42 that? He's worried about trying to win a playoff game. And then last night, we just lost a big
00:47 playoff game. Why does he need to address it now? That's not the time or the place.
00:51 And I appreciate the question, but I just think for him in general, coach T's earned that to just
00:58 be singly focused on one goal. And we've asked this question week in and week out.
01:05 It's just not fair to the process.
01:06 Cam, I understand that. That wasn't what I was asking. I was asking,
01:09 people are outside of us.
01:12 Have you seen any change in his approach to his job this year versus the other?
01:19 Yeah. I just think the consistency with him,
01:24 when all of this other stuff has been brought up, I think with coach T, it's the consistency that
01:34 he doesn't have to change up how he's going to act because of what else is going on. I think
01:40 it's allowed him to just really stay narrowly focused and focus on us.
01:44 So all that said, Cam, you have no doubt he's the coach here next season?
01:47 My goal is he's going to, not my goal, but my thought is he's going to be the coach here.
01:52 If anybody's thinking it should be anybody else,
01:58 then you're asking for a whole lot more than just that.
02:04 Mike T wants to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, is a Pittsburgh Steeler.
02:09 Why wouldn't anybody else for anything else?
