What was it about -- that endeared such great goodwill with his players. Well. Is it straight and I believe that all the guys I've ever seen I don't talk to you prior to our -- -- public. Is that we have players coached and he was Smart about the -- -- was Smart about practice. It was smarter well the play caller. And he -- a lot of these sense I mean if you look at his junior coach. We probably have the most turnovers -- anybody in the an announcer. So you know he was just he's just a great -- out of your hours very approachable you can talk to. And you guys are disagreed about something mark you can actually -- conversation about not like people -- well or demote you. You know because you had a disagreement. And you know he -- -- a real live and there you gotta respect that. And -- -- the way he dealt with the media he was I had often times condescending you guys got to see that. What we knew what I take -- he was not that way at all in the locker room in meetings with the team. But with the media it was almost as he despised dealing with -- is that an accurate statement.
