00:00You know who else has a lot of peace and quiet because they've grown a lot over the past years
00:05Brian Flores who says hey, man, he's grown a lot over the last few years. I
00:13Don't question whether he's learned from this incident
00:19Okay, but when he starts off by saying I pride myself on the relationships I have with my players
00:27Or when he says I got to tell you it wasn't very positive
00:34I'm like
00:40Cuz you weren't
00:42Like this, am I the only one that notices this? Oh, no, it's it was very cool
00:47It was very noticeable and I do feel like look he
00:50you know
00:51Good on him saying that he's grown good on him saying that he's wished to a success
00:56He was at one point asked
00:58Would you meet with two about this and talk it over? I'm like
01:01Damage is probably done on that. Yeah, like wouldn't you have done it already? Yep
01:06Absolutely done. I would say this
01:10If you really wanted to fix it
01:15Then you would have called to
01:18Before all of this, of course and
01:21And with that same text with that same energy you got his contact
01:27And say look
01:29Dude, I'm human. I went about this the wrong way and I want to apologize if I didn't
01:37You know
01:38Do it in a way that got the best out of you
01:42Right. That wasn't my intent. My intent was to try to motivate you. I
01:48realized that
01:50Didn't work with you
01:52Right, and I think to would have been cool with it and to would understand to would have probably even brought up
01:58Yeah, I had a conversation with Brian Flores. We good
02:01but to sit here and
02:05Basically accused to him at the same stuff you did to him for two years is hilarious
02:11There's a little bit more of a flow saying that he's grown
02:20You know, I think
02:27I think I think you know part of coaching is is
02:34Correcting, you know, I'm always gonna correct
02:40I'm always gonna have a high standard
02:42And I think you know, look I've done a lot of reflecting and on this situation and you know
02:53Reflecting on the situation and communication
02:58You know, I think there's things that I could do better for sure and I've grown in that way
03:02And I've tried to apply the things that I could do better and the things that I've learned
03:05You know over the last, you know, two three years, but I would say over the long haul
03:10I've had a lot of great relationships over my 21-year career
03:14In the league you got black friends players coaches. What's now?
03:19equipment
03:20There's people who like me
03:23People in the kitchen, I mean really across the board. I've had a lot of great relationships. I'm gonna continue to do that
03:29but I'm also always looking to get better and involved no different in as a coach whether it's schematics or
03:37Personnel or evaluations. I'm always looking to get better
03:41I'm always looking for dialogue
03:43in meetings with coaches with players, I don't care what a good idea comes from you guys have heard me say that and
03:51You know, I'm open to getting better and that's always the you know always my mindset
03:58You open now
04:01You open now
04:04Isn't he mr. Takes no talent. He is mr. Techno sound it takes no time to be nice
04:10I
04:12Got people who like me
04:14Ralph, you know, that's like saying if I said hey Tobin you're racist. No, I'm not. I got black friends
04:20Right. That's the way he made it sound like like forget what you did with tour. I have a lot of good relationships, too
04:27Well, he also said that he's not his job though. His job to have good relations with everybody
04:32He said not everybody. This was a weird part for me. He said that after
04:38This came out from to him that he's received a lot of support
04:42Which I found an odd thing that needed to be disclosed from him
04:54Here is a flow saying I've received support
04:58I mean, I've got a lot of support from a lot of people
05:01You know in this building and you know all the buildings as well
05:05And I was flooded with text messages yesterday
05:08So
05:12I don't ever want it to be about anything. That's no specific to me. So I
05:17Think it's funny is here's the deal and I'm gonna say this
05:22again and again and again
05:25Brian Flores is a good football coach and he will get another opportunity. I
05:31Mean I
05:32Believe he'll get another opportunity if the guy that was doing cocaine off a desk
05:37Can get another opportunity and still be one of the highest paid at his job. There's those big grains falling so
05:43But what I will say is this
05:47Dude
05:49Stop trying to soften the blow
05:53Right, you handled the situation poorly
05:57You've grown from it we we know but that doesn't lessen
06:03What happened and you saying
06:08I've had a chance to recollect and and I have friends I have other you know, good relationships and
06:15No, because if you had a really good relationship that somebody should have came into you say
06:19Flow you can't do this, dude, right? You can't do it. Not with your quarterback
06:24Yeah, I think too it's one of those things where this kind of goes back to yeah
06:28He had he had a ton of fault in this for sure
06:31But that's also one of those things where like I wonder
06:34the Dolphins putting him in the position that they did to start his career where it's like hey, we're gonna lose all these games and
06:42You know
06:43It almost being looked upon as like a negative that he didn't finish the tank
06:48you know like that he won these five games to end the year and then it kind of feels like
06:53You're almost your back is against the wall to start your career immediately
06:57You know because they threw his record in his face once they fired him and that's kind of boldly because his first year was to lose
07:02on purpose
07:05But that's you know that goes to show that that's what they do man like it's with when a guy plays hurt
07:12Right, and they say oh you had a bad year, right? They don't
07:16They're never understanding with that, right?
07:20if a coach
07:22Loses job and for example if solid had lost his job at the end the last year
07:28That would have been a terrible, you know, yeah, I've been cruel right but but that's we've seen it happen
07:36It's it's one of these things though. Like look
07:39Get it. It's a juicy story
07:42I'm whatever to it does talk about it again because you'll obviously be asked follow-ups about it
07:46But it is almost time to like it is we got to turn the page on this stuff, too
07:51right, like it and I almost and by the way, I mean this from the perspective of like the to a relationship with Mike to
07:56Like we get it. They went through a lot. It was a great story
08:01It's it's it's awesome to see that too. I came over this everybody landed on their feet. Let's go with some games, right?
08:08Yeah, go with some important games. I
08:11Wouldn't even I wouldn't even thought about it
08:15Until he responded. Yeah, I get it because again
08:21When
08:23You wrong somebody
08:26and you
08:28Explain it in a way to try to soften the blow or soften what you did
08:34It doesn't make you sound genuine because guess what?
08:38if he would have said these words I
08:44Handled that situation poorly and
08:46I have learned from it and I will grow from it and I will be better the next time I get the opportunity if he
08:53had just said that a
08:55Lot of the other questions wouldn't came
08:59But the fact that he kept trying to throw something in there
09:06to soften the blow
09:08Right when it's done is done
09:10We need to focus on the move forward if you want to move forward if you want everybody to focus on then say I
09:18Didn't handle that situation correctly. I
09:21Wish I could bring it back. I am human and I will learn from it. But yeah, I probably didn't instead
09:28It's not gonna go away when you say
09:31Yeah, I gotta say those words weren't very positive, which is the whole reason why you're up there
09:37Well, we need to focus on the things that are at hand like storm duck appreciating the squirrels
09:44That's good. That's good. That's just happy
09:51Take a lot of time just reading books I read a lot and
09:55You know it like you learn to you know, appreciate what's around you
09:58This is you could see like a squirrel going up the tree. You all right by it
10:02Not even see it just like little things around you keeps you keeps you, you know in the moment
10:07Now question it's in the moment if you see a squirrel going up to tree. Do you notice it or
10:15You can say you can see a squirrel going up tree and not even notice it
10:18Well, you noticed it you saw the squirrel go up tree because he's appreciating the little things gotta appreciate it
10:23dude
10:25Why we try to that guy's got no coverage. Oh, yeah, we try we try too hard
10:31Right
10:32Like I'm more than sure whoever was asking him questions didn't think they were gonna be talking about squirrels, dude
10:39I don't know, but I love it beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing to see
