If I get picked in the first round, I got that contract, everything is fixed.
Coach, I don't care what you say. Type shit. Trust me.
You mean 40? I don't know. That's good, you confuse people. It might be good, it might be bad. I don't know if you're slow or fast. 6'1", 50.
Yeah, this is a really cool place to go to school. And so I got to see that as a parent. My daughter, Landry, is a sophomore here. Oh, yeah, I've seen her on TikTok before. I've seen y'all on there doing makeup or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Just like I said, the social media thing. I kind of live like a young person in a lot of ways. Like just enjoy. Yeah. You know, like I just try to have joy.
And I'm like, again, back to a lot of people, you're supposed to be old. You're supposed to be an adult. Like you can't do like a makeup TikTok with your daughter. And I'm like, I don't want to be gone someday. I'm going to be dead or I'm going to be at the end of it. You know, those last couple of years, you think I'm going to be like, man, I wish I was there. Yeah.
I think I'm going to be like, man, I wish I wouldn't have done that with my daughter because I,
But that's just kind of like how I – and I don't know. It seems like you have that too where it's kind of like, man, we're supposed to be growing up and there's certain aspects we are. But then these other areas, it's like, what's wrong with having youthful fun? We go out and play pickleball and somebody's like –
i see some old people look at me like man he's playing out there with his kids and like he's like dancing to the music you know to like taylor swift playing or something you know like i'm like why just because i'm like getting older i'm not supposed to like have fun yeah you know or like when you come to yoga in the morning and like we're crushing you in yoga and i'm kind of like dancing back like talking shit celebrating over you like
And if that happens in the morning, you might crush it in the morning. I don't know.
There's no cleats. Okay. No cleats. No socks even.
Yeah. I think the kids really like, we create an atmosphere that you want to be at, not have to. Same with our employees. You know, like I feel like in the morning, if you ask them when they're getting up, And they're driving their cars over whether it's players or staff. Like, they want to be here.
Yeah. Yeah, he does. He's working on it. Yeah. He's trying to quit some other things. Yeah.
Been there, done that. Yeah. But... that atmosphere of comfortable and like the players, like I've, I've been around both and I've been around as an employee where you're miserable driving in like another day. Like, and it's just like, to me, you're not very productive that way.
Like I want our players to come here and like, they played their own playlists, like in practice and stuff, you know, like it's a player's team with discipline, but the same thing around the office, like people, we don't even have hours. Like you don't even have like, you leave when you're done with your work. They don't have like, okay, you leave at this time.
Because then people just sit there and guard their desk until the time goes. So I just try to create an atmosphere that people really want to be at. And they have a lot of fun doing it. And it's really, to me, it's awesome if you can win and have fun. Because some programs like they win, but they're still miserable. And I've seen that. So we try to create this atmosphere.
And I think people love it. Is it tough to be like a coach and a dad?
Yeah. Yeah. I think like a lot of questions, I answer them differently now than I did five, 10, 15 years ago. I think, you know, as I look back and I use my failures and experiences now, it's awesome because I get to use to help others. Yeah. And I help our players when they're going through it. So I liked that. I had a lot of stuff happen to me or self-inflicted stuff. Oh yeah. That like,
I struggled for a long time, but then as I like now see, like I get to help, like, cause the coach knows my story or players and they come in and I can help them with things. Like when you say, okay, how did like the balance of a husband, father and head coach? Well, I failed at that because I'm as a head coach, like I was a head coach, Tennessee, USC. And I was like, that was my higher power.
And I'm the head coach, USC. Yeah. that's who i am not like oh i'm a husband not i'm a father like that became my higher power that was the most important thing to me and i could feel it because i'd be like oh we'd win so then like the la time sunday morning man coach lane kiffin you know like and like what do you want and i remember him asking me like what do you want someday i'm like a statue
Like Nick Saban. Because then I made it. Like they built a statue of me because I won so many games and championships. Yeah. That's what I want. But I was totally missing it. Because if you ask me that now, what do you want? You know what I want? I want to be a really good dad. I want to be a really good boss, a really good friend, a really good neighbor. The other stuff happens with the wins.
