captain clutch has come alive there's going to be very clear alignment of what we're trying to accomplish each day that we walk in there and i think that will be refreshing for for for a lot of people and he goes off the glove of nailer here comes the go-ahead run guys that was a bad bad night

There will be no sacrifice because of a father-son relationship, I would say.

The first thing in front of me right now is to find the next head coach for this organization, and that'll be the priority.
