00:00Practice has opened up this week
00:02Cristobal he says it's all about the work not the tweets
00:06Well, that's the only way to play football. I don't think I think what we would do really well is
00:11There really is no magic formula. I mean there are no
00:15There are no tweets no speeches no narratives no
00:21Nothing that can replace working really hard and doing things to a certain level and I think they understand
00:27But even more importantly they're willing to work to make that a reality become a really good football team
00:33You know every every offseason you identify every ounce of coaching playing systems that you can improve upon a deep deep dive
00:40You know, everybody's held to a high standard everybody accountable
00:44and I think it's deep you can sit down face to face with these players and these coaches and get right at it and
00:49Put your feelings and your sensitivity aside because we have to develop
00:53Our identity and we have to develop an edge and we have to focus on the University of Miami so that we can get out
00:59Of camp what we need to get better. Yeah, put your sensitivity
01:06Let me explain something I don't like that
01:08Let me check. No, no. No, I don't like that. You're just first in the words of Brendan Tobin. Hear me out
01:16To even suggest
01:19That a
01:2218 to 22 year old
01:25Stay off the internet and tweet and
01:29Instagram right you already lost half of the world
01:33So you got to be honest about it?
01:36Right. That's the part. That's like, oh, okay, right
01:43Put the thumbs away
01:45Don't look yes, I would agree but we got to keep it real is it gonna happen it show
01:55Our quarterback wouldn't stop what do you mean I could stop
01:59Dude, you're in the middle of a river tweeting us texting us. What are you talking about?
02:04I just want to let you guys know is having a good time. Okay, right. Okay. There you go
02:09like listen, I
02:12Get the thought
02:15But there's the thought in this reality
02:20And the reality of it is to ask an 18 to 22 year old
02:25Don't tweet stay off social media and and all this stuff
02:30Right. Yeah, like is that real?
02:34The only tick-tock they should worry about is the game clock
02:38Well, if the coach I worried about the tick-tock they would have won that's a box to me. Oh, yeah
02:45So
02:46But you understand what I'm saying? Like you gotta have conversations that are real
02:50All right, scratch that scratch the tick-tock line crystal ball. Don't use that one
02:55Tough necessarily and I understand this is a
02:58Weird transition from crystal ball real quick. What do you have?
03:01I have on behalf of National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day Publix was kind enough to drop by with some delicious
03:09chocolate chip cookies
03:15I can already tell
03:37That lightness in the middle of the cookie see I can see the chewiness in the frog boys mouth
03:43He's just got oh, it's like a commercial
03:46Wow
03:48Speaking of soft
03:51Yeah, let's get tough enough cookies
03:53While Chris ball says you can't coach soft and play hard
03:57You always attack the trenches first. I think that's often ignored in football, right?
04:01You want to be bigger stronger, but you want to be athletic you want to have balance you want to play with power
04:07And there's guys on both sides of the ball up front that are gonna be NFL draft picks
04:12How high depends on how much we can develop and how well they can play
04:17Their focus on Miami football will also determine that as well. So is that different? It's extremely different
04:22It's looking more and more like it needs to look like and we've really got to push
04:27Extremely hard in camp to make sure that we develop
04:31The technique the fundamentals the physicality, you know, our players
04:35Were informed last night. You cannot
04:39Practice soft and be coach soft and expect to play hard. No now
04:45you you must commit to a certain level of physicality and effort on a daily basis and
04:51I'm going home and
04:53Getting coddled and hearing how great you did and how you deserve more is not it
04:59People got to earn it out here every single day. There's a extremely high level of respect between these players
05:06juicy
05:08Now that's that's keeping it 100
05:11That's keeping it 100
05:13How you gonna be a physical tough football team if you're never physical and tough? Yeah, that's from coaching
05:20That's from playing that's from preparing. That's everything. You can't just show up on Sunday and say, you know
05:28We've been shorts and shorts and helmets all camp and we've never done nine on seven and we've never done any
05:36physical
05:37Drills or anything like that and say we're gonna play on play tough on Saturday or Sunday
05:41The lumberjack can't do the lumberjack can't chop wood do without some blisters on their hands on the axe
05:48That's what that means that means that the lumberjack can't chop wood unless he works on chopping wood
05:55Exactly, dude, like you can't be tough in the trenches if you've never been tough in the trenches
05:59You think there are outlets out here in the woods? No, sir. I mean chainsaws. You could have gas-powered but other than that
06:07You are you are you are
06:11You own one today Wow, none of your analogies are working. Oh, dude, we got
06:22Camboards out there. He's got some flannel on. Oh, yeah
06:26What are those orange winter caps so you can be seen?
06:31It's all happening for us dude. Save the bear. What?
06:34No, no, they say if you see me in the woods with a bear save the bear
06:40It's tough you don't think that's tough mystical thought it was tough. Hey, I think we're all getting tough. Just listen to this
06:49Again, he lost me. He lost me with the first one. Mm-hmm with the trying to get 18 20 year olds
06:54See, I'm you know, it's more about tweets a little boy, but it's more important. Are they still called tweets?
07:01Yes, this posts they're not about the X's Leroy
07:07It's more important to emphasize what you put out there
07:11Instead of not doing it because to say to somebody that's 18 to 22 years old. Don't post nothing on social media
07:20hmm
07:22That's that's just not real. You want his expectations? Oh, I want to get tougher. Let's get
07:28I
07:30Don't think there's ever an expectation
07:32Outside anyone anywhere that could ever match the expectations from within
07:38You played at the University of Miami
07:40Especially during a time when Miami was raining college football
07:44Your expectations your experiences your hardships your good times your rough times
07:51your moments of
07:52Getting knocked on your butt and having to get multiple surgeries
07:56Your experiences being part of a brotherhood that's been unmatched your expectations are going to be absolutely through the roof
08:03the daily expectation is more important and that daily expectation is to give every ounce of what we have as a staff to every single
08:10player on this roster as
08:12A coach as a mentor as a teacher and that's our focus
08:17win the day
08:19Goosey's
08:26See
08:30Can I just say this I
08:34Sometimes wonder if
08:37These cultures are speaking to you because they know you go get on the hype train. What does that? What do you mean?
08:44Come on, ride the train
08:46it right because you you you take it and run with it and
08:51And and I'm not
08:54Necessarily there even though I
08:57Have said I
08:59Think this would be their best year since Mario Cristobal
09:02Has been there because he's had a chance to get who he wants and do what he wants a lot of Giants a lot of
09:07time I've said that so
09:10Before anybody thinks that I'm hating on anybody
09:15Before any of this was said before we heard anything about Mario Cristobal
09:20Leroy said I think they'll have a really good year that being said. Mm-hmm. I
09:29Mean if he want the 18 and 22 year olds to put down their thumbs
09:35He need to slow down the coach speak too much
09:39Too much. He gave us a chain of just right through the book of coach speak
09:45He should give us a turnover chain back. That'll bring. Oh, yeah
09:50So tired of how hearing how things used to be 40 years ago
09:55Think about that dude. It was 40 years ago. I don't like hearing that. Yeah
10:02Dr. Toboggan says my ears are callous
10:06Right like I'm just saying like at some point
10:12you know
10:13he
10:15needs to say
10:17It ain't about talking mm-hmm it ain't about
10:22you know
10:23Suggesting or hoping it's about going out working and doing it
10:28Ferdinand says can't get Georgia Tech out of my mind can't get hyped
10:33So like you're trying to reach down to get hyped and all you think about is is not kneeling
10:37Here's all you need to know about the last five years
10:43Versus this year that's coming
10:46Okay
10:48For the last five or so years you've talked about
10:52The quarterback and the talent you had outside and the fast guys you had on your team. I
11:00Think for the first time in a long time
11:02You're gonna start talking about how physical they are in the offense and defensive lines. Yeah, and and that change right there is
11:11Is what
11:13you should rally behind because that is gonna determine a lot more than all of the
11:19You know
11:19I candy that you were looking for in the years past Marcos has been walking around with a shovel because he just loves digging trenches
11:25Oh, I love the trenches. I love the trenches too. That's where you get off. Yeah, we've been building the trenches for quite some time
11:34Now it's time to uh, now it's like a force field. Yeah. Yeah like a moat
11:40That's like a deep follow the QB who's not a bum
11:46How about this what and every quarterback that's been here before this quarterback you've had the same hype train
11:59Way different dude TVD
12:02Well, listen, he fell off, you know, he got a little you know
12:05When they're here to his skin skin fell off
12:10His body was doing like the dude from men in black
12:13Apparently his eyes wouldn't adhere to his offense either because he kept throwing to the other team
12:20One more for my a what
12:24LeBron James wasn't born yet the time that Mario Kuzma was talking about. That's not fair. I mean he wasn't drafted yet
12:30There was good times in the 2000s
12:33Yeah, yeah, but yes Dwayne Wade and LeBron of
12:37Dwayne Wade his career has come and went and be gotten to the Hall of Fame since the Canes were last the Canes
12:44One more from him though, is he is he hype that's all I want to know from Mario crystal ball
12:47Is he hyped is he excited about this season? Is he excited? Oh, let me do it. Oh, I'm excited about every season
12:55Every challenge to get better and we look forward to this season and what we've done to improve in offseason
13:02You don't know
13:05I think anybody that coaches football
13:07Every year you feel like it's the best one that never changes. I think any time the person doesn't feel that way they gotta
13:15Go sell ice cream
13:19Our guys we work really hard
13:22Came here on on a mission. We came here with a purpose every day has been intentional
13:27We dedicate our entire existence to the University of Miami. It's people. It's players a community and
13:33It was fun to see some of the pieces that are in place now
13:36and now it's a really exciting to get up there and start making all the
13:40The corrections the assessments the moves to continue moving this thing forward. So yeah the excitement right now in this building
13:47Is through the roof and for the right reasons and for real reasons
13:53Yeah
13:57I
13:58Do it. He's not he's too excited to go sell ice cream, you know
14:03But if he was I mean it would be it would instead of cold stones and be stone-cold like that's no
14:09Kind of ice cream they've been some last few years Rocky Road
