 I mean, a couple more initials by the name outside of GM. But the role is kind of pretty similar, just in terms of the way we're building and the way we work. Still view Cali very much as my partner. And it's been cool through this transition to get to know him, get to know the coaches and what they're looking for, and how that's going to help us in scouts. Well, I think we're really deep at receiver in this draft and O-line as a whole, which are two areas that we're going to be focusing on. But it's a really deep class, a lot of talent to young men, and we're looking forward to meeting with them throughout this process. Again, I think if you look at it strategically, it's about the value, right? So if you're sitting there and there's a receiver there, knowing that there's a deep O-line class, it's like, where can we supplement this position later? So it's about playing those two parts off of each other, whether that's in free agency as well in the draft. So it's about trying to mix and match those two pieces. I like seven, but I'm open. We have to listen to any offers that may come. Our long-term goal is to build this football team into a consistent winner. And the way you do that is building through the draft. And off of that, you need draft picks to do that. So we'll definitely be willing to listen, but it has to make sense for us. Not really. I would just say, my number one thing is to say add in playmakers to our team, whether that's offensively, defensively. Just looking to bring people in that love football, that want to be in our place. I mean, if you look at the way our coaching staff was built, we got some of the best coaches available. I think a lot of guys had other offers and could have been in other places but chose to be with us. And that's the talent part about who they are. But if you look at who they are as people and their passion for the game, I think it resonates and it's going to permeate throughout our locker room. Oh yeah, I mean, it's a lot of cap space. I know that's what everyone is talking about and how much we have, but we have to spend wisely. You don't want to just load up and just go and spend money. Again, we're trying to build a long-term consistent thing. And you can't do that, spending all 90 million out front. We got to be patient. We got to position ourselves that they're going to be guys that come free in June and July, like when we got DHOP, that we have to have the space for and be able to afford it. And plus we have to have money for operating costs moving forward throughout the fall, which I think for most of the season, we're in the top five and having space available. So we plan to be active, but we're going to be patient and let everything come to us. Yeah, we have to improve on a team's speed. I mean, I think that's, you know, that's visible. And we're going to do that. And the name of the game in this league is speed. I think you guys saw that when we played Miami this year, the type of threat that they had, you know, with their fast guys, that, you know, just being able to outflank people with motions and the stress that that causes a defense. So we have to be able to match that defensively, but we want to be able to apply that same pressure offensively with speed. Or Derek and I had a good conversation on the way out and he knows where we are and we know where he is. I think you guys that have been around, you know, a year know that we don't really talk about, you know, player's contract status in public, but we'll be well positioned to do whatever we need to do. You know, however, when those conversations don't need to be had, we'll have them with Derek and his team. Well, I mean, first of all, like Tadje is a dude that I just described. Like he's very passionate about football. He loves the game. He's a hard worker. And I think you guys that have gotten to know him know that's how he's wired and you love that about him. Tadje's one of those guys that's always in the building. You know, I know there were a lot of concerns about his knee coming out and that was the big question this time of year. And after we drafted him, but we're talking about a guy that never missed a practice, never missed a game. And he's, you know, for lack of better way to put it, he's made it a right. You know, and those are the type of guys that we want to have in our program. I mean, it weighs, you know, because I hear that question around town a lot. You know, people will come in. The first thing they'll say is, hey, we're not going to lose Derek already. You know, I think I've probably in my 12 months on this job have gotten more Derek Henry questions, you know, than anything. So I understand that piece of it too, but, you know, I have a responsibility, you know, to build this team long term. And like I said, we'll cross that bridge with Derek and his team when we get there. I think it's like with most young quarterbacks is getting playing time, you know, being out there. He spent the earlier part of the season as the inactive third. And then when he got his opportunity to play, he took off and run and ran with it. So for him, it's continuing to get time on task and especially now coming into a new offense, getting him in that, getting him knowledgeable of it. And for Will, it's about creating that consistency. When he was at Kentucky, he had multiple offensive coordinators. I think he may have had the same offense, maybe twice, you know, in his career. So I want to be able to create that consistency for him, get him used to making calls and get him to where, you know, he's making all the calls and checks up front. I think it's paramount from the simple fact that I'm not designing any schemes or calling any plays. The cool thing that we did is prior to coming here, we had a big profile tape meeting when we called profile tapes where each of our position coaches put together what they're looking for, you know, at their respective positions. And it was very, very, very, very detailed. And we were in a unique position that all of our scouts with the exception of two live in Nashville. So we had everybody come in the building and we got in our team meeting room, which is the big enough space to hold everybody. And we locked in for, I think we went with the offense first and that was a day of four hours of where we were in the room going through each one. And then we went with the defense second and then we'll meet with the special teams coaches when we get back. But again, that's all about us getting on the same page, A, being able to speak the same language, but then also us as scouts getting to know what the coaches need to make their scheme successful. Yeah, so it's gonna be a little bit of a difference. I think there's gonna be some carryover on defense just in terms of structure, but the style will change a little bit. And then I think offensively it'll change, which is where we, you know, you gotta give our scouts grace. They've gone from post draft last year throughout the entire fall of scouting for one scheme. And then now we're asking them to flip, you know, on the drop of a dime and adjust. And so our guys have done a really good job. And that's why we felt it was, you know, important for them to be in those meetings to see that. And we're giving them the, you know, the leeway to kind of go back and adjust their grades a little to talk about guys that under the previous regime may not have fit, but they now fit us. I won't get too deep into it. Just because we're a new staff and, you know, nobody's seen us play yet. But there are subtle differences. You know, like I said, the structure of it being an odd front team, a three, four team, if you will, is gonna be kind of similar. Our defense has been good, you know, these last couple of years and it's kind of what the organization's hung his hat on. So we're gonna look to keep that going. But there'll be some subtle changes that'll be noticeable when we get out on the field. Well, we got a guy named Bill Callahan, AKA Big Coach, who's one of the best in the business. And I really wish you guys could have seen his profile tape, you know, meeting it was a clinic, you know, it was a clinic and everyone left out of their minds blown and coming to the realization that we still got a lot to learn, you know, to come in and what it's gonna take to play for him. But I think for a guy like that who's been such a strong developer, you know, of talent at the old line position, it gives us a little leeway, you know, to bring some guys in and him having a plan on how to develop those guys and get them out on the field. No, I mean, again, it's weighing what's the best option for us now and where we're taking that, right? So you would want, if you're, you know, if you're picking in the top 10, you want about as close to a surefire thing that you can find, which we won't know that for another three years anyway. But then there are spaces later in the draft where, you know, you could take a developmental guy because, you know, you have someone that could develop them. No, I mean, that's a good question. I would say no just because of what social media is now and just the way you can have, you know, access to information, you know, on your phone. But most of those guys, you know, they live in Nashville, but they spend a great amount of time in their areas. But I don't think it hurts us at all. Yeah, well, we have a lot of guys on the contract that were here last year that'll get the first opportunity to work with Coach Callahan. But just like anything else, we're gonna look to continue to add to that room that allow us to get the best five on the field. Well, again, I've never been in a draft room with Coach, with big coach and how he sees it. But, you know, definitely take his advice, you know, but ultimately when we build it, we're gonna build it for the best way of the entire, you know, organization and not just so much focus on him and what he's looking for. Well, again, we're, you know, we're across that bridge when we get there, you know, just, again, stand consistent about keeping family business in-house. You know, I think, you know, I think it's, you know, it's documented Ray didn't play as well as he probably would have wanted or the way we want it. But nonetheless, he's still a talented guy that has some physical traits that you just can't find. Well, I mean, if you look at where Callie comes from, you know, right, you have three to four guys that are in there a lot and that are producers. And that's the receiver room is where we're gonna continue to look to add some playmakers. Like I said before, we're looking to add playmakers, you know, on both sides of the ball. We need to have people that can put the ball in the paint, you know, and score points for us and we need people that can take the ball away and create more opportunities for us to score. Yeah, so our number one thing, again, is gonna come back to getting the right people in the building. And like I'll forever say, you look at how we built this staff. It's gonna be how we're gonna build our football team with the right people. But there's an acronym I like to use, FIT and where applicable we wanna be fast, instinctive and tough. You know, if you look at a position like O-line, D-line, you don't necessarily have to be fast. So that F, you know, transitions to being fundamentally sound. And so we think those are the three things that you're gonna need to build a good football team moving forward. You know, either being fast, instinctive and tough or fundamentally sound instinctive and tough. So it starts with taking advantage of the time, right? You only get 20 minutes here to spend with them. So, you know, staying away from the, hey, where are you from? Where did you go to high school? We have that information written in front, right in front of us. Let's get to the questions that we really need answered. You know what I mean? We're talking work ethic or if they have any quote unquote red flags, that's here. And then also being able to get those, get those same meetings in top 30 when we bring them in our building and that way you have them for a whole day and even visiting with them, you know, maybe at their pro days or prior to their pro day. So, getting as much exposure to the person. The tape is the tape. We've seen it. We've seen it in the fall. We've, you know, we're watching it to this very day but getting as much exposure to the people is gonna help us. It's been incredible. As you guys know, Ran, Ran's a relationship builder. It's kind of his superpower, I like to say. But us being on the same page, if you're on the same page with the front office and the coaching staff, you can really do a great job finding the right people and right players to fit your team when everyone's looking for the same thing. And so that part's been really fun. I enjoy being around Ran every day and Chad Brinker too. Between me, Ran, Chad and Anthony Robinson would probably are in and out of each other's office probably 10, 12 times a day. I mean, we're always talking and going back and forth but it's been a really, really fun partnership to build relationship to start to grow with and it's been a blast. Obviously coming from Cincinnati, heavily, heavily involved in the draft process. That's how they've operated for a long time. I think it's been a huge benefit to me being involved in that process the way we were, being in all those draft meetings in the draft process, in the evaluation process. That's an area that I feel that I've really grown over the years of being there and I think it's a huge help to me currently being involved in that. So we'll have a, we have more people obviously in Tennessee than we did in Cincinnati. And so I'll lean on those guys heavily as we get started. But our coaching staff will be involved. We're gonna have great conversations. It's still gonna be a collaboration because a lot of times coaches see things in a different light than scouts and it really allows you to make sure you are evaluating the whole picture and selecting the right player. And so you want the coach's input, you want the scouts input, you want everyone to feel like their conversations, their opinions are being heard and they're being discussed. And then on top of that, you're listening too. That's a big part of it. So I'm really excited about how we've been, how we're set up and how it's gonna work in this draft process. Right, right. Oh, Alex is unbelievable. It was with Alex for a year. Really, really sharp. Obviously has the playing experience to back up a lot of things he said. Worked with a great quarterback in Green Bay. Great feel for offensive football. And I think what you'll love about Alex is he's got a great personality and he's outstanding when it comes to building relationships with the coaches and the players. Players love playing for him, being around him. I think he's gonna be, I think he's a great coach personally. I really enjoyed my year with him. And then obviously my dad's been with him for three years and he would say the same things if he asked him. So really, really top notch person and coach. That first year, I think it was great because he had a relationship with Andy Dalton and some of the quarterback footwork was new for me. He had done things a little bit differently. So that was really fun to get to hear about that process and how effective it had been for Andy late in his career. So that was probably one thing I could point out for you. Yeah, I think there's an element of explosiveness, of speed that we can add that would help us. This is a really fun class of players and really from the top part of the class all the way down to the bottom, there's gonna be good receivers, I think you'll find that they'll come off the board in a second, third, and fourth rounds that I think will be contributors for some teams. So it's a deep class. There's really a lot of variations of player. There's guys that are good with the ball in their hands. There's guys that are really fast. There's guys that are big and strong. So there's a good mix of talent that fits and when you're building the receiver room, you're trying to collect a little bit of all of those things. And so it's a fun class to evaluate and hopefully we can find a couple guys that fit us. Oh, it's a huge part of the process in educating what we're looking for. And I think Rand might have mentioned it. I've mentioned it once or twice before, but when you set up these position criterias and you set up these profile tapes of what you're looking for, it gives those guys a clear vision into what they are out scouting for. So when they're on the road, when our pro scouts are looking at free agents, it gives everybody a pretty clear avenue of what we're looking for. And I think that that's our job as coaches is to help inform that. And then it's their job as evaluators to evaluate it. And there's going to be times where we love a guy and maybe the evaluation side feels differently. And so our job is always going to be to make sure we have those conversations and determine which player fits us best. But our job as coaches is to point them in the right direction. It would be really hard for me to compare Jamar to anybody but Jamar. He's sort of his own animal, if you will. He's incredibly talented. There's not many receivers like him in football. So to compare anybody to him, I think would be unfair. I do like some of the traits that Traylon has shown on tape. There's some things that I'm excited to work with. And then he's got to do his part when it comes down to taking care of yourself and making sure he's ready to roll when we start. But talented player and one that's got some development to go, I would say Jamar's development is in a whole different stratosphere. He didn't need a whole lot of it. But again, I'm excited about what Traylon could bring for us once he comes in the building. Team speed, you can never have enough of it. So we'll be looking for plenty of it. I think we need to be faster. We need to be more explosive. That's always going to be part of it. And you always want to have a good mix. You're going to have guys that can win in the physical battles and the 50-50 balls in the contested catch range. But you also need guys that can stretch the field and threaten the defense. And those are things that we'll be looking for, obviously, in the free agency and draft process coming up. That whole conversation, yeah. I mean, you want guys that can carry the ball. You want guys that can protect. And you want guys that can be dynamic out of the backfield. Sometimes that's one player. Sometimes that's three. I think what's happening is that division of labor has been divided up amongst that room. So you're getting two and three guys that are contributing more than maybe just one guy all the time. So I don't think there's a devaluation of the running back position. I think the division of labor has been separated a little more. So that's probably the best way to say that. You have to have good backs. There's really no way around it. Obviously, there's a positional spending that goes with that. But to have good running backs, ones that can protect, ones that can win routes in the pass game, can catch. Ones that are explosive. And then you've got to have guys too that sometimes when you need two yards, they're going to pound for two yards and make it hard on a defense to tackle them. So I don't devalue the running back position. I know how valuable it is. You just have to have a lot of different types of them, ultimately, when you're building that room for your team. Yeah, I've reached out. I know J.O.'s reached out as well. But he's going through. He was at the Pro Bowl. I didn't want to bother him. There's a lot of stuff going on in the Super Bowl. But I think that there's a great relationship with him and the organization that I know that he's always going to have the Titans in his heart. So whatever that looks like moving forward, we'll keep working through it. But I know what he means to the city and to the team. And I'm looking forward to getting to know him. Yeah, Colt is a really young, kind of dynamic special teams coach, be his first time running the room. But doesn't lack experience, played for eight years in the league. He's a fantastic person. Love having him in the building. Obviously, he's one of the few guys that I've worked with for the last couple of years out of Cincinnati. So that part's been great. But really, really sharp, experienced in the special teams world. And then you add him with Anthony Levine. Those two guys battled against each other quite a bit as players. And so there's a mutual respect there. It's been kind of fun to hear them talk about their battles. But really excited about Colt's addition to our staff. And then, yeah, really the last thing we have is our strength coach, which we'll jump into after the combine here. We'll start that process next week and hopefully have it wrapped up by mid-March, I would hope. So the most important part is they got to be here for the start of the offseason program and get their program in place. So hopefully, I get done here pretty quickly. April 8th. Yep. What's it like being your dad's boss? You know, it's no different than being anybody's boss, to be honest. It's been great. Him and I get along really well. There's not a whole lot of bossing around, if you will. There's not many people that are going to tell him how to do his job. He's about as good at it as anybody. But it's been really fun for me. It's been a dream come true to be able to sit and have a cup of coffee with my dad in the morning and talk about what we got coming up that day and talk about past protection and technique and watch him do his job too has been really fun. I've never had a chance to do that in that element where I'm in the building with him every day. So it's been really, really, really cool for me to experience that. It's been awesome. You know, early on in my career, when I was first starting out, he had made a very pointed emphasis that I should try my own way and not work for him. He never wanted to be one to give me a job. He felt like it would serve me better if I had went my own direction and earned my way through it. I think that was the best advice he's probably given me. It's worked out great that way. I've always wanted to work with him. Never knew if I'd have an opportunity, to be honest. It's one of those things when you got guys under contract and we're in different places, never knew if it was gonna work. And we had a conversation really the year previous when I was interviewing for a couple of jobs and he had said that we wouldn't work together, that he was very happy where he was at and didn't really wanna leave and felt like I should do that on my own. But it just timed up great. It's kind of where he's at in his career, the opportunity to have him come to Tennessee is really the timing was perfect. I didn't really know if he wanted to come or not until I got the job because I was kind of working off the assumption that he was that way last year where he wasn't interested. So, but thrilled to have him and be able to work with him every day. Nothing's easy when you're in those situations, but thankfully I think it was such a unique situation for him and I and for the league in general. It hasn't happened ever before. So I'm appreciative of Cleveland willing to work through that with us. I'm sure obviously they didn't wanna let him go either and he was under contract, they didn't have to. So appreciative of them understanding and knowing the uniqueness of the situation, but that part's been, it wasn't, no, nothing's easy in the NFL when you're under contract. I'll say this, you can never replace the elite talent. You can coach guys, coaching makes an impact, it matters, but ultimately the better players you have, the better coach you are. And so I will never pass up on elite talent just because I think we have a great coach, great coaches with elite talent is special. And so we're trying to get to that point, but I will say there is times when you can take players though in roles that maybe not necessarily at the top of the draft or for top dollar and free agency, but where you can develop players quickly and they can contribute for you. Because as we all know, you're gonna have multiple sets of players playing up front, very rarely do you stay with the same five for the course of a season. So that development and that depth is always gonna be really important. And there's nobody better at developing it than him. Yeah, you just know what's coming to you. There's a lot of really challenging things that come up in the first year and haven't been a part of that with Zach and him being open to sharing those experiences has been really helped make me feel like I'm prepared for this moment. It's not been overwhelming at any point. I feel very confident in my day to day operation. And a lot of that's because of the access that Zach allowed me and the things that he talked about with me. And there's gonna be adversity that comes. And I think the most important thing I learned from Zach is if you can be yourself and stay the same and be consistent, you're gonna have a chance to get through all the things that come your way. Yeah, the quarterback position is, if we were all great at it, you'd probably see a lot more success drafting them, but they come in all shapes and sizes now. And I think that's ultimately what's changed the most is there's an open mind to all the different ways a quarterback can play football. There's all different styles. There's all different types. But ultimately, I look for three things. Decision making, timing and accuracy. And if you have those things and you're tough, generally speaking, you can find a way to work at the quarterback position. But it's not an exact science. Everybody looks for things differently. But I do think everyone's realized that there's a lot of different ways that position can be played and how you let those guys be in position to have success. The way that they use Brock in San Francisco versus the way that we use Joe Burrow in Cincinnati are different, but both of them are equally successful, I would say. So a lot of that has to do with what the quarterback does well, things that they're very comfortable with, I think is important. I think this age of coaching is all about making quarterbacks comfortable, taking their feedback and putting them in position to have success versus trying to make them do something that they're not necessarily good at. I don't know if that fully clears it up, but I would say that's the best way to say it.
