So we didn't talk to these guys until the portal opened.

And when the portal opened, we called, they're like, guys, where were you?

Everybody's been calling us.

I'm like, well, we didn't want to get caught up in like this tampering thing, but I guess everybody else was except for us.

But it ended up working out that 10 of them were able to come with us.

But it wasn't weird.

It was something that I felt strongly about because I think when you have a new coach coming in to a program that's had success, that's a challenge in and of itself.

I did it when I came for the bowl game.

The issue was none of the staff was left.

It was just a bunch of guys put together to finish that bowl game in that armed forces bowl or whatever it was.

But

If I had the ability to say, why are you winning?

Let me watch how practice works.

Let me watch a lift.

Let me sit on a meeting.

Let me be present.

I'll be a fly on the wall, but I do want to see what this culture is like because I don't want to dissolve it all the minute that you walk out the door.

And I really think that's a brilliant move.

And I was really proud of Billy for putting the ego aside and saying, all right, let me learn how they do it because there's a great culture here.

How do I just keep this culture advancing it and accelerating as opposed to get these guys out of here and let me become the new head coach?
