Now we've got in the SEC.
I think to kind of just level the playing field that everybody's kind of playing through the same agenda is really, really cool.
I think the part that's hard for people to adjust is just,
You know, the people that make decisions, like, you know, voters.
I'm talking to two media people, right?
Like, it's hard for them to realize that what they've learned over the last 20, 30 years of their life isn't necessarily the reality of today.
And that's what I always go back to.
You've got to judge every year.
I do anything right now, it's based on one thing.
How do I make 2026 Illinois football great?
That's what drives me every day walking this building.
I really don't care about 2016.
I really don't care about 2006 or 1996.
I worry about this year, and I think that's the problem or that's the thing that probably has a hard time getting through to all the people in today's world.
You know, I always say those stories are a lot better when you're not in them, but I tell you, those two guys, when I was in the building for two years, literally gave me football utopia to work with Coach Belichick, what he taught, what he learned, and what he passed on to not just me as a coach, but a player.
Robert Kraft was a very present owner.
Everything he did was based on trying to help us win.
I think the world of those two guys, I'm sure they're going to be in there eventually.
It sounds like, as everything, there's some things that need to get worked out on how the process works.
It's kind of like what we're doing right now in college football.
