00:00:09.420 - 00:00:22.778

I feel that this is, is something that there are 3 things that a that a head coach has to do. Number 1, you have to coach within your personality. You have to, you have to be what you are. I'm what I am. I'm John Madden and

00:00:22.778 - 00:00:37.539

I have to coach as John Madden. I do not feel that I can copy anyone else. I cannot be anyone else because the, the players, the assistants, the people are intelligent human beings and they can see this if you try and be someone else. The next

00:00:37.539 - 00:00:51.134

thing is, is we have to learn and I think that we learn by research we study films we talk with other coaches we meet with our assistants we meet as groups and I feel that this is where Al Davis comes in. He is a very, he's

00:00:51.134 - 00:01:05.235

a, he's a top source. He's an outstanding football man. He has, he has a very bright mind. He's, he's probably one of the outstanding men in all of football and I've always felt this even when I was, I was coaching in college. So, so to have

00:01:05.235 - 00:01:20.690

a source. Uh, uh, like Al Davis and to not use them would be, uh, uh, a stupidity on our part. So of course we're going to, and, and, and of course we're going to discuss and, and then, and then we're gonna bring everything together and then

00:01:20.690 - 00:01:27.839

our job is, as you say on the field we have to get what we learn from all these sources and take it and teach it to our players.
