It's exactly what we did in the NFL.

Well, there's one major difference.

You're coaching 18, 19, and 20-year-olds.

And the wiring of a 28, 30, 35-year-old is a lot different than an 18 and 19-year-old kid who just moved out of his parents' home.

who's never cooked dinner for himself.

So the people that you are around and are coaching from an intellectual standpoint, from a brain development standpoint, from a maturity standpoint, and definitely from a football IQ standpoint, is much different.

Most guys aren't Caleb Downs.

They just show up at 18 years old and know everything that's going on.

There's a big reason they like Ty Simpson, coach's kid.

Most guys on your football team in Division I aren't coaches' kids.

So I think Bill came into this thinking, I could just operate exactly like I've operated.

Well, why do you think that is?

I don't know about you, but most guys in their 70s I've met in my life aren't big on change.

And then if you factor in, oh, they're a multimillionaire and they're extremely accomplished at their field, do you think they're going to be open to making drastic changes to their style?

Warren Buffett didn't change Berkshire's investment strategy in his 70s to all of a sudden invest in startups.

He stayed with exactly what he'd been doing for the previous decades.

That was their strategy to be successful, and it had always worked.

Well, Bill Belichick goes, I've been a part of six Super Bowl champions as head coach.

I was part of two as an assistant coach.

I've been to countless other Super Bowls and lost.
