00:00 You know, speaking of the coaching staff, Osi, a lot of people have made a big deal over Brian
00:04 Dable's demeanor, how he could be very passionate, very fiery. As I remember, Coach Coughlin was kind
00:10 of the same way, maybe a little different, you know, in terms of, you know, with how he treated
00:16 the players initially and then how he changed. Do you think too much is being made of that?
00:20 I think so. I think, you know, well, ultimately you also have to recognize the times that we're
00:27 living in, right? Like, these times are completely different than before. People are a lot more
00:32 sensitive. You know, you can't talk to people the way you used to talk to them. You can't
00:37 operate the way you used to operate. And, you know, football has just evolved that way.
00:41 To me, I don't see anything that he's doing that I wouldn't have been able to deal with. I played
00:47 at Troy. Our coach was tough. And then I went straight from that into New York and Coughlin
00:52 was tough also. I don't see any problem with the way he's behaving, but he also has to check the
00:57 temperature and understand that these times are different and he might have to adjust the way he
01:01 treats and talks to people.
