Introduction

Alex
A big day for Glue Guys here, fellas. Our first active head coach coming on.

Ravi
Let's go.

Alex
Head coach Dan Quinn, the Washington Commanders. My old team—I think he was runner-up in coach of the year—but I believe the consensus would have been if they had voted after the Super Bowl. He is definitely the unanimous coach of the year, one of the best turnarounds in recent NFL history.

I mean, this was a team in an organization that, for decades, had struggled, and multiple people, including yours truly, have tried to turn it around and failed. It's amazing to have him on—the architect of one of the greatest defenses in modern football history, The Legion of Boom. You know, won a Super Bowl in Seattle. It's an honor to have him on as head coach of the Washington Commanders.
