00:00Maybe the situation with Nick Sorenson, and I'm going to talk about him a little bit because
00:20he's going to be your special teams coach.
00:22So he had an opportunity, he's a coach that they really, really liked in San Francisco.
00:29He was a coach that, probably as the defensive coordinator, he was out over his skis.
00:35But as far as the special teams coach and some of the other things, this guy's a pretty
00:39good coach.
00:41And I think he fits a pattern in talking to some people around the league about him that
00:48we're maybe going to see from the hires that Brian Schottenheimer makes here.
00:55It goes back to Schottenheimer talking about how he is with people, and how that is a strength
01:03of his.
01:05And I think listening to people, a couple of different sources I had on Nick Sorenson,
01:12he is a guy that is very much that type of guy, really, really good with people.
01:19But also, people were telling me about this guy, he's a really good coach.
01:25Now, you'll see the defensive coordinator thing in San Francisco, injuries, whatever,
01:29it didn't work out.
01:30Like I said, they wanted to keep him, wanted to put him in another role, but he's going
01:35to get an opportunity to go out and be here in Dallas, I believe.
01:39But to a man, they were telling me, this guy is a really good coach, and he's a really
01:43good dude.
01:46They really enjoyed these guys who were with him, who had been with him before, really
01:50enjoyed working with him.
01:51He's smart, he's thoughtful.
01:54He's into people.
01:56Players in the building will really like him, and he will connect with them.
02:00So that's kind of where I think that Schottenheimer, you know, when you're starting to talk about...
02:04He's trying to build the most likable staff of all time, starting with himself.
02:08Well, he's trying to build a staff that can relate to the people, that can relate to the
02:12players.
