And the drive to work's awesome.

You know, just get up every morning and you see the city from my parents' house and it's been incredible.

No, not at all.

I just, the Lord's blessed me over and over and over again.

But I just, I think the values that

You know, I learned here in Pittsburgh, starting, you know, with my family and my parents to just, you know, keep your head down and just keep working.

And, you know, good things happen to good people.

And I just, I got to learn, I got to get a better answer for that question because, I mean, because I never really ever dreamed about it.

I mean, we all, I think, dreamed about playing for the Pirates or playing for the Steelers, you know, as kids growing up here.

But, you know, never once did I think I would be standing there being a three-time head coach of, you know, three incredible organizations.

Definitely.

I mean, you know, working in the league, I mean, I've worked with coaches that coach, you know, decades in this league and never had the opportunity to even coach in a Super Bowl.

So I know how hard that is to get there.

And I could vividly remember being on a flight back from Chicago to Green Bay, quick flight.

And we were talking about, you know, the Super Bowl as far as just the administrative things and everything.

And someone said, Pittsburgh won, you know, just won the NCAA championship game.

And I'm like, of course they did.

You know, just my first time to get there and now I got to, you know, play the Pittsburgh Steelers.

And it was odd.

Thank God they had to wear white that day because I would have struggled with the black across the field.
