That was the one thing that didn't get done this year.

But that's the one thing he did not have his hands on, right?

Yeah.

So like everything he touched, I think, has been positive.

I just think that's the way he is.

I think I think it's been.

So I guess my overall point is I think he's the difference.

He's the reason when you say, well, how is this going to be different from like 2019 or whatever or any other any other bear situation?

It's because the head coach actually kind of runs things at House Hall now instead of House Hall kind of consuming him with the with the way they do business.

And that's a huge factor.

It makes the Bears a different organization.

It does.

And I'll admit, after reflecting upon it, the optics were right at Hallis Hall the other day.

As you said, they didn't have the dual function lectern this time.

That's one thing.

But the other part of it, too, I admit, I did...

I was a little curious as to why we didn't hear from George McCaskey that day, maybe even Kevin Warren.

And then as I reflected, I was like, okay, this probably was something that they planned out, that they wanted Ben Johnson to be the biggest voice there.

They definitely wanted Ryan Poles to have his say, but they wanted that to be the power.

They wanted to show us that day, football-wise, that that's where the power is.
