It's not that big of a deal.

Like how much, especially, you know, Bill and I over the years have talked a lot about when you have a coordinator hire, is it same side of the ball as the head coach?

And his expertise or opposite side of the ball in the head coach, right?

You would think maybe a defensive coordinator hired for Ohio State would matter even more.

So anyway, like that's kind of what I'm getting at here.

Andy, we'll start with you.

If you have a word or phrase to talk about how much coordinators matter, that's great.

But I'm just trying to get the vibes on what any hire like this really means to a place like Ohio State.

Okay.

Bill, what do you got?

Yeah, I'm as French as it gets.

Interesting.

Okay.

I ain't got no French, but I'm going to talk about it anyway.

So this is the thing.

That was really good.

Those two answers are really good.

I feel better about the question.

I've called assistant coaches middle managers for 20 years, right?

That to me, it's the head coach sets a culture.
