 I appreciate everybody hopping on here. I appreciate your support, obviously throughout the season, a difficult season. I appreciate the job that you guys all have, and continue to be hopeful that you'll share our message, you'll share who we are to our fans, that we continue to grow by our efforts on the field. Excited to talk about our staff today. I would say 95 percent complete. I spent a lot of time going through multiple candidates at each position, met some amazing people, had conversations with some amazing people and coaches. Learned a lot throughout this process to get here. Really excited about where this is going to go. Excited about where this is going to go. With my relationship with Ran, the relationship with our coaching staff and the personnel department. This is a cool time to be able to discuss those men and women on our staff, and help you figure out who they are. Teresa? struggling with the Zoom, Teresa. Teresa, are you there? I see her. No glamour shot. Jim, why? Mike, if you could maybe speak specifically about the search at Office of Coordinator and why Tim Kelly ended up ultimately being the right person for the job. Yeah, I think it's the right fit for us. At this time, it's the perfect fit. Met with some really good candidates. One that we were able to bring on here in our staff to help assist and support Tim and our offense and coach our quarterbacks and our passing game coordinator. But I think what Tim ultimately was able to do was be able to provide some familiarity and some carryover to what we were doing. Because I don't think everything's broken. I don't believe that. But then also be able to add some things that can really help us and take advantage of some opportunities. I've seen him call games in this league against us. Felt like he has a great feel for the game. Going back to even last year, playing with a rookie quarterback and not having much success against us at their place, being able to shift gears and get into empty almost exclusively and give them a chance to get back in that football game. And we were able to win. But I think his feel, his energy, his leadership, all things that came out throughout this process of multiple meetings with him and other candidates. Terry? You're a wet in person. Tron. What's up, coach? My question is in regards to the collaboration side of things. How do you see everything work in as far as Charles London as pass game coordinator with Pat O'Hara in his role as well as Tim Kelly in his and your addition as well? Well, I mean, I think all that is, we have to work through those types of things. I think that the one thing that I really appreciated from where Charles has been is having been with Tim and then gone and done some stuff on his own and bringing some of what he's learned from Chicago as time in Chicago, which was valuable. His work in Atlanta, which is a valuable. And so his number one priority is going to be coaching the quarterbacks. And then the pass game coordinator, I think that that's an assist role and that's providing ideas and support and helping Tim and everybody involved work through the weekly game plan and how we want to start off the spring and what we want to do and how we want to install things and maybe how we change the terminology. Because I think that that's also important. I think some of this stuff is going to be consistent, but there'll be a lot that will force us all to learn and to grow. And I think that that's probably an important time for all of that, whether it's the terminology, the runs are the runs, the plays are the plays, but how we're calling things, how we're teaching things, how we're putting things into certain buckets. Those are all things that will probably change with Tim and Charles in my input as well. Let's try Terry again. Mike, can you talk a little bit about, I guess, the thought of the hiring Tim in-house versus maybe hiring an offensive coordinator from the outside who might bring in different ideas and a different system? Well, I'm confident that there will be new ideas, new concepts. Again, there's a lot of things that you can invest your time with. And we're barely certain that where we've invested a lot of our time has been in one particular system. I know that that'll change in the spring. I mean, this will be a great time to figure out how much you want to invest in some of these other schemes and these ideas. You have every offense and every defense. Everybody has to have an identity, which is critical, things that you're going to be able to do and then have plays off of it. So in my interactions and my meetings with Tim, I'm very comfortable that there will be, continue to do the things that we do well, the things that we feel like we do well, that we want to continue and enhance and then bring in new ideas that he has, that Arthur or excuse me, that Charles has, or even other guys on our staff. I've got Teresa's question here. What do you like about Lori and what she can bring to the defense? Well, I thought her knowledge was excellent. I enjoyed our meetings that we were able to have at the Senior Bowl. You know, she's done it. She's done it. She's got experience in this league and you know, excited to be able to bring on somebody that's, you know, worked with a lot of great players and been around great defenses in Tampa. So then I, you know, and I know that, you know, she'll primarily start out working with the outside linebackers. I think that her and Ryan Crow will make a great team and he'll help her as she transitions to, to working with the outside linebackers. Corey, Curtis. All right. Sorry, Coach. Okay. Yeah, Mike, with the coordinator hires, I mean, with as often as you guys have gone internal, how important is institutional knowledge for you when it comes to these kind of things? Well, you know, the whole idea, you know what I know and what I believe in, and it's more importantly what I believe in. And if I didn't think that we had the right people here, you know, we would try to go and get somebody else, you know, I think we hire really good people. I mean, you see that from other opportunities that we've had in the five years that we've been here, putting together a great staff that I believe in, that'll teach, develop and, you know, inspire our players through making a connection with them. And you could see that, you know, I have to identify men and women that I think can continue to grow, have upward mobility. And if they, you know, fit what I'm looking for and, you know, they are the right person for the job, well, then, you know, I'll do my best to, you know, put them in those positions. Strike for you again or not. Paul, Karthi. Thanks. Hey, Mike, can you talk us through a little bit what Tim's role was as passing game coordinator last year, the times we were out there, we saw him during individual, often with the tight ends only. And we'd like to know, I think, a little bit more about what he did when we weren't there. Yeah, I mean, I had asked him to, you know, I don't want him standing there holding a clipboard, charting passes. So, you know, I asked him to focus and assist with the tight ends at practice or an individual being at your set of hands. I'd like everybody that's out there to be working doing something to help the football team or the players. Yeah, you know, and then there were, you know, his, you know, outside of the time of practice, it was, you know, a lot of preparation in advance and I think he would come in to Todd and be able to meet with me and say, hey, here's what, you know, this is what we can expect. You know, he was able to work ahead. You know, he wasn't focusing on, you know, necessarily calling the game. I think he was helped put together the first and second down passing game and would communicate with Todd, look through the third down, present that, you know, and then ultimately, you know, we go in with a game plan and then, you know, it has to get executed and it has to, you know, and somebody's got to call it. So, you know, it wasn't like when it was a pass, you know, it was Tim's responsibility. Tim was here to support the offense and to provide, you know, working knowledge of the defense and to be able to help with the first and second down, installation, third down, you know, and then worked with Todd as well as myself in the red zone. Joe Rukshaw. So, following up on that, Mike, so with Charles then, would that part of his job be the same in addition to coaching quarterbacks or is it a totally different role that's primarily focused on quarterbacks? Well, I mean, it's going to, you know, he won't be able to probably do as much going forward, Joe, with the responsibility of the quarterbacks. You know, I see him, you know, bringing the ideas that he had and when we met and communicating and helping us put together the best plan in the spring and then ultimately helping Tim as we go through training camp and then, you know, into the season. So, you know, there's, you know, one person has to make sure that they're leading the offense and, you know, that'll be Tim. But making sure that everybody's voice is heard and then we go in with a game plan and then we have to execute it and we have to make sure that we're calling a sound football game. Steve Layman. Mike, two quick ones within one here. Number one, everybody's speculating on how much the offense should or should not change. How much would you like to see the offense change from what it was with this new cast and crew and you're just putting a lot of pieces there on offense. Is there a value to having sort of fresh eyes and new spots as they take on these new roles? You know, I'd like to our offense to be, you know, there's things that I believe in. I think that, you know, you have to be able to be efficient throwing the football and we weren't as efficient as we needed to be. You know, we turned it over too many times. I think you have to take care of the football. I think you have to, you know, play with a physical style, whether that's throwing the football and you got guys that are cleaning out the pocket, you know, I believe in mixing tempos, you know, having the ability to play with different personnel groups and really finding out what we have available. You know, what we're able to add to the roster and be creative with who we have and not just having guys that are in there when we throw the football or having guys in there when we run the football. I think looking for speed, looking for versatility. Those are things that I've talked to Ran about and him and I will continue to have conversations about that is making sure that we're doing our best to hire versatile coaches and players that can have an element of speed and playmaking ability, but also some versatility. So I hope that we have, I know that we have the flexibility that when we complete this roster, you know, we'll be able to go in a bunch of different directions from different personnel groups and getting in the same formations and doing ultimately what our players do best and what they can handle. Ah, Nick. Obviously you mentioned just some moving pieces around. I mean, some of these, you know, I mean, I don't know what you meant specifically. I could, you can ask the second question that you had, Steve. Yeah, just, I mean, to have Pat in a little different role or moving Tony from running backs to tight ends, et cetera. I mean, does it help to have a guy in a new role and coach maybe slightly differently or bring new eyes to a situation? Is that kind of the idea behind those moving pieces? Yeah, I mean, I think I'm just, you know, what the thought process was there was that, you know, looking for people to be able to have some growth opportunities when I recognized it and, you know, being able to take cell at certain different roles and help the football team where I think is best. And I think that, you know, where we're at right now is gonna do that. Nick. Hey, Mike, you brought up, ran a couple of times there. Just how much were you able to lean on him throughout this search process and just how have the first couple of weeks of collaboration between the two of y'all gone? Well, since I've been here, you know, I mean, I think that there's, as I work through the coaching staff, I've, you know, floated some ideas through them and we've had conversations. Well, we talk extensively. So it was really great to get down to the senior bowl. It was really cool to get down there and work through the interview process and have him and I both be a part of that and talk with all those prospects, watch them practice, watch practice together, share comments and a vision for, you know, for what we want to do with the football team and that'll continue with his staff and the coaching staff as we look at free agencies and free agents and then on into the draft. Chris Harris. Hey, Mike, I'm curious, you mentioned about Charles and talking to him for the OC job. What was it about him that made you want him wanted him to be a part of the organization and of your team, regardless of the role? I really just enjoyed the interview. It really did. You know, I think going down to the senior bowl watching his demeanor and his presence on the field and his interactions, you know, with those players down there was really somebody that I wanted to, you know, try to be a part of our staff. Gentry. Yeah, Mike, with Tim already on staff last season, did you consider expanding his role in this way previously either before the season, during it at some point and a couple of years ago, did you make an attempt to kind of reach out and talk to him for that then? Well, I mean, you know, there was, you know, I have to make decisions Gentry and I don't know if, you know, during the season, anything really would have mattered. I really don't, I think that what I'm focused on is where we go, you know, from here, where we're able to grow, where we're able to find a way to protect our quarterback, find a way to continue to drive the football, have less non-efficient plays and runs and be able to convert third downs, score touchdowns, get to the red zone more often. I stand behind what we do in the red zone, we just got to get down there more often, you know. And so, you know, I mean, I've met with Tim, you know, I think he was under contract in Houston. So, you know, when we were able to add him, you know, we added him in some capacity. Jared Stelman. And Mike, what does today's news mean for Ryan? Well, I don't think anything. I mean, I talked to Ryan, I let him know what, you know, which direction that we were headed. I don't want to speak for him, he seemed excited, you know, about what we were going to do and about who we were doing it with. But again, Ran and I are evaluating the entire roster, you know, the players that are under contract and players that are going to be potential free agents here pretty soon. So, you know, Ryan's in here every day and he's, you know, excited about where things are headed. So, you know, other than that, I don't know what to tell you other than being able to say, you know, we've got to get ready here to add a lot of pieces and find ways to do that. Tarah? I was going to ask that question about Tannehill but I'll shift it back to Tim Kelly. You mentioned how you feel not everything was broken and you want some of the carryover, what are some of the things that make you feel that things can be different with Tim Kelly as the player caller? What are things that I think can be different or? Right, like what do you, how do you feel he can do the job differently? Like what gives you the confidence that he can come in and have this offense function the way that you want it to? Wow, man, we go through an extensive interview process. Hear how he would do things, hear what he liked, hear what he, you know, would like to change going forward. You know, his history as a play caller, his history working with different schemes, like I said in Houston and being able to have a great feel for the game, being able to work with Charles and the rest of our offensive staff, bringing some energy and taking the guys that are gonna be here, especially some of these young guys that really started to come on and build a system for them and help them learn, get lined up, know what to do and be able to play fast and aggressive. And that's the most important thing. Sam? Hey, Mike, you mentioned thinking that moving Tim's role earlier into the season wouldn't have mattered much. I'm just curious if you could elaborate on that and why you felt like shifting his responsibilities doesn't help you moving forward or with the current move. Yeah, I think really, Sam, and I appreciate everybody's question and I appreciate the fact that you guys would show up here to cover this and support our staff. I, you know, my focus is solely on this football team moving forward, the staff that we have in place, the people that are here working with Rand and his staff, communicating with our players, finding which ones we're gonna bring back and potential free agents and who we're gonna add and put together a great, you know, scheme and playbook and how we wanna install and, you know, how we can make it player friendly and ideas on teaching, you know, not about where we were and, you know, October or the state of the team in December and what we went through then. Just a couple more, Jim. And like you mentioned, your staff's 95% completed. Are you down to just running back as coach and maybe where are you in that process? Well, that's still ongoing. You know, there's a few individuals that are interviewing for other jobs that I've talked to and, you know, we'll kind of see where that goes and try to find the best person that can help us all in that position. Joe Ruffin? Moving on from Keith, Mike, and then promoting Jason. What is, I guess, what is that comment on the offensive line coaching and why did you make that move? Why did I promote Jason? Well, both moves, you know, moving on from Keith. Not gonna touch on the people that aren't here. Appreciate what they did. You know, you realize that, you know, just as the same that we wanna develop players and part of our, you know, challenges developing players and understanding that they, who they are when they get here isn't necessarily what their finished product is. And, you know, we don't care how you get here. We just care what you do when you're here. And, you know, I think Jason is a great example of that, you know, fulfilled a role and was able to build a strong connection with the players. He's a great teacher. He's worked in multiple schemes. He was a head coach. And it was probably one of the best interviews that I've had in five years and interviewing different coaches. And so I'm extremely happy and excited to be able to give him this opportunity. I know that Sully will support him as well as we move forward with, you know, that group and that unit that has to get better. And it starts by, you know, finding some guys that can come in and develop and be coached. Last two, Paul. Two pronged, if I may, Mike. The analyst titles for Luke and Pat, is that signal anything of a new direction or approach for how you're looking at things? Well, just continuing to try to, you know, want these guys to be a part of our offense and, you know, not having a position group per se is gonna allow them to, you know, do some of that pre-advanced work, but also help and assist throughout our offense. And those guys have been here since I got here and so I want them to be able to help us in a multiple ways and confident that they'll be able to do that. Understand what you said about having good people in-house at the start, but it seems like more than a coincidence that when you do go outside for Tim or for Charles, that they're guys that you've worked with before. And it can seem rather insular that you're reluctant to bring in somebody that you're not connected to. You have an affinity, as most people do, for people you're familiar with? Well, I mean, I've enjoyed all the interviews that we've had and I know, you know, I think that that's important. You know, I don't think that that's certainly the barometer in which we make decisions. I don't want to do that. I think that that's, you know, we've had numerous coaches here that I've been able to work with. You know, I think as a head coach, I come up with a bunch of ideas, you know, hey, we should do this or hey, we should do that. And, you know, I'm confident that the coaches that we have here have and will continue to tell me, you know, that's too much. That's not gonna work. That's, you know, that's too much for the players or, you know, hey, that's a great idea. And I do think that that's important, whether that I knew them previously or they came in here, you know, from somewhere else. And you try to empower everyone to, you know, hire great people and empower them to do their job and be able to say, you know, coach, that's not what's best for the players. So I think we have a great staff. I think we have great teachers who have to continue to develop. And, you know, evaluate and bring in, you know, great people and then see where the talent level takes us and be able to make decisions on what we want to do schematically in offense and defense and special teams. Steve Lehmann, last one. Mike, I think the one guy we had to mention through this whole thing was Chris Harris on defense. Tyrexcited argued that that was able to work itself out and what he might be able to do in the defensive pass game coordinator role to assist Shane. You know, a man continued to, you know, Chris did a fantastic job, so did Scott Booker. And, you know, Scott made it a difficult decision. And I really respected his growth and his confidence as he's continued to grow and he'll continue to coach our safety which he's done a fantastic job at. You know, we were excited to be able to add Chris. I mean, you see he's had a lot of interest from other places and, you know, we'll support him. You know, I see he goes down to that road and his ultimate goals. But I loved his demeanor. I loved his ability to teach and, you know, we'll add some ideas and help us, you know, in what we've already done and figure out what's too much and, you know, making some suggestions or tweaks to the stuff that we already do. Thanks guys, appreciate the time. Thanks a lot, Mike, we appreciate it. Appreciate you guys.
