Sure.

You know, I think there are a lot of things that go into being a successful head coach.

Number one, really, I think in my mind is leadership and really trusting that this person can stand up in front of your team day in and day out and hold their attention and have them motivated to

to do what they do.

So that's the most important.

I'm not going to get into the contract today.

I don't think that's necessary at this point.

I mean, look, as I said, there's a lot that goes into it, a lot of qualities that you look for.

And obviously somebody that has the experience of doing what we need them to do is going to be key.

Yeah, I mean, look, I've been involved in a number of searches, going back to Coach Cower and obviously GM searches.

And, you know, I think when you start the search, I think if I've learned anything, it's to have an open mind.

You know, when we had Mike in for his first interview, I certainly wasn't expecting that he was going to be our next head coach.

And so you just, I think you go through the process and be diligent and, you know, hopefully you come out with the right guy.

Not really.

I haven't spent a lot of time doing that, to be honest.

Mike indicated that he did not anticipate coaching, at least in the near future.

I think he wants to spend time with his family and do some of the kinds of things he hasn't been able to do for the last many, many years.

And so if something like that comes up, we'll deal with it when it comes up.

But right now, that doesn't seem to be on his radar.

I mean, Mike was great to work with day in and day out.
