Here's What Makes Grant Udinski VITAL for Liam Coen and the Jacksonville Jaguars Offense

It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Not every sale happens at the register.

Before AT&T Business Wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too

long.

Basically a staring contest where everyone loses.

It's crazy what people say during an awkward silence.

Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold.

That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale at two.

Sometimes I do miss the bonding time.

Sometimes.

AT&T Business Wireless, connecting changes everything.

When you manage procurement for multiple facilities, every order matters.

But when it's for a hospital system, they matter even more.

Granger gets it and knows there's no time for managing multiple suppliers and no room for

shipping delays.

That's why Granger offers millions of products in fast, dependable delivery.

So you can keep your facilities stocked, safe, and running smoothly.

Call 1-800-GRANGER, click ranger.com, or just stop by.

Granger, for the ones who get it done.

Grant you Densky.

You are appreciated.

I'll tell you why.

I feel that way here on Lockdown Jackwise.

You are a Lockdown Jaguar, your daily Jacksonville Jaguars podcast.

Part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

What is going on folks?

It is Friday.

I am Tony Wiggins, the host of Lockdown Jaguars.

Here's what we're going to talk about today on the bonus show, Two Side, Two Habs of

the Show.

Second half, teaching and continuity matter, and we'll pay off.

The first half of the show, the importance of offence coordinator, Grant Udensky, Two

Head Coach Liam Cohen.

Grant Udensky got interview a couple of times for jobs.

I thought he was going to Buffalo, and then I thought he was going to Cleveland.

I was pulling for him.

I was pulling for my man Campy got interviewed down in Miami in a place where he's extremely

familiar.

And then I think somebody else interviewed him.

I can't remember, but we were sitting there one year, we think of man, we finally got

a coaching staff.

And they're going to take these dudes away from us, and fans were being funny, like Jaguar

fans are saying how terrible Udensky and Campaneli were as coaches.

And hoping that the other fan bases wouldn't pick up on the sarcasm and just run with that.

But as much as I wanted those guys to stay, I never allowed myself to be pulling for them

not to get those jobs, because I didn't want to look like a camp and be bucking their

fans the way they looked a year before when they were hoping that Liam Cohen didn't get

the Jaguars job, all because they just wanted him to stay and then they said all these nasty

things about him.

It's funny how they're all these bad things to say about a dude that you wanted to stay

and that's why you're angry.

So you just sound scorned, and I didn't want to do that.

Not no Jaguars did it playfully, but a part of it wasn't playfully.

A part of it is we can't enjoy nice stuff, because this is such a copycat Lee, everybody

wants to get the hard work of building that staff and then all of a sudden he comes

to use 10 coaching staff.

These 10 open jobs come running along and just thanks for all your hard work.

Let me just snatch your coach from you.

That kind of got on people's nerves a little bit.

But the truth of the matter is, the Jaguars are fortunate that those guys were passed over

this time.

I don't think it's going to happen again, especially if there's some success, because people

will feel around the league more so for Grant Judensky than Anthony Campanelli, because

everybody seems to be wanting a coach that resonates with a quarterback, because a coach

that resonates with a quarterback gives you a better chance to win.

And it prevents things from like what the Jaguars just experienced for the first time in

forever, where as soon as you win something, they're going to come and start snatching

your assistance.

And if your coach is a defensive coach, your head coach is a defensive coach.

Sometimes when they snatch your assistant, they take your system with them.

But no further than Philadelphia, right?

They win a champion chip.

Keller Moore leaves after only one year.

Their offense looks great, goes to New Orleans, looks like they're on their way back and

Philly struggled on offense, like they have before Keller Moore got there.

So that's the fear that Jaguars fans don't want to experience, and I understand it.

But I said when they hired Liam Cohen, what they needed to do was, do you notice how

the 49ers and the Rams keep losing coaches, even though they don't lose their head coach,

they lose assistance, but they're able to replace them with assistance and those assistance

get jobs.

How do they keep finding offensive coordinators with an offensive coach?

Always said if you had a defensive coach that you need to do whatever it is that they

do.

All right, your defensive coach, your higher offensive coordinator, and then you hire about

five or six people that's just like him, alignment across the board.

He leaves.

Maybe he takes one or two guys with him.

You still got the replacement right there instead of being like those teams I mentioned

where three or four of them, their guys get picked up every year.

And they always seem to have somebody or somebody gets fired, right?

That used to be on that staff and then okay, you got fired.

Come on back home.

The way Robert Salah went back home to San Francisco.

So there's a way to get it done in the Jaguars right now or built that way.

They have so many coaches, Ripple, they have a whole bunch of coaches over there, Waldron,

Coach Waldron, that understand Liam Cohen.

So if you lose your Dinski, there's a path for those guys to get moved up and there's

also a path for them to go out and get someone else from around the league that they're very,

very familiar with.

But I think for Grant, it comes down to the Jaguars get another year of all of this greatness

that we hear about.

And I'm not saying that facetiously or sarcastically, but everyone along the way, all of the players

and the coaches that have had experience with Grant Dinski, talk about his communication

skills, talk about his ability to teach.

They preach about all of those things and it's very, very important that in the second

year of this re-emergence of the hope for Trevor Lawrence, where he was a top five pick,

where he was a top five, a top five MVP candidate, excuse me, it's early.

This is where I think you can add and you can build and you can get and be the team that

you want to be.

Tighten up everything, clean everything up, advance it, go a little bit further into your

offense, not only from teaching Trevor, but then Trevor, implementing that offense and

the receivers.

The continuity it's going to have with the offensive linemen, you ain't bringing four new

offensive linemen in there.

I last did actually brought in six and kept five.

So all of these things go to help because you still have the same person and they were

going to have it anyway with Liam and the rest of these coaches.

But having Grant, the great communicator still here, at least for another year, not only

helps the players, it helps the coaches and it helps the continuity of what the Jaguars

want to do.

Why is teaching in continuity?

Why does it matter so much?

It matters so much because football, contrary to what we sometimes, the way we sometimes

react to football, we think it's just all about players.

Even though it is about the Jimmy's and Joe's, but there are a lot of Jimmy's and Joe's

that don't live up to their potential because they don't think the game and see the game

the way it's taught by certain people.

Let's get into it.

We'll talk about that in just a second here on Locked On Jaguars.

I like a good, smart football team.

I like a team that depends on dudes that just love the game.

I like when teams lead with that.

I love when, like what the Jaguars are doing, very good communicators.

I think when you communicate so openly and so well like that and you don't give too

much information because it's a need to know basis.

But when you don't have to do smoke screens and you're able to answer questions fluently

without breaking the code, it tells me that you're not afraid to be vulnerable because

you're more than willing to wait and see how it plays out to show people on the field.

See, that's why we did what we did right then.

That's it.

That's why we did what we did.

That confidence comes from the work that you put in and it's not just the physical

work, although that's a part of it.

It's the mental approach.

It's not only doing what somebody tells you, but understanding the why.

I think the Jaguars, the way that they're teaching now, they're really, really having guys

understanding the why.

They want to know why they're doing everything, they're explaining everything and they want

to know they're getting, it's basically like this, they're sending these players

out there, not just with brawn and speed and athleticism, they're sending them, those

things matter.

But they're sending them out there and they're weaponizing their mind to think like coaches

and to be able to react, to be able to react naturally because they're just doing the

thing that they love.

Imagine the thing that you love the most, right?

No, let's not imagine the thing that you imagine the thing that you love doing around

a whole bunch of other people the most.

This is, you get to do it for a living.

Like me, I'm living to dream.

I taught football.

Even when I was a barber for 33 and a half years, I stood up and I talked about this stuff

at Nogin.

And there were so many people that said, you know what?

When I finally realized that you were to do it on radio and before we started doing visual

podcasts, you would do it on audio, I heard your voice and I realized this is you.

Here's what, this is the biggest compliment I could ever get.

You're the same dude here in this barber shop that you are on radio and there's no difference.

You know why there's no difference because it's real and it's all thinking.

This is what it is.

That's why I'm sitting here doing a radio, a podcast talking about football and there's

barber pictures behind me because it does not change.

So I know what that feels like to a lesser degree.

When you are able to, I can't remember who said it.

Somebody came in the barber shop years ago and said it and I've been saying it and quote

given that person the quote, God, no name Brian, he passed on but he said when you find something,

when you find, when you find something that you enjoy doing that you get paid for,

you're never working other than your life.

And I really, really do believe that ever since I joined the military because I absolutely

loved the job that I had in there too.

When I left home in 1989, I had been working, working.

I had a job in high school.

I wouldn't say I loved it but I did it, making pizza.

But from the time I went to military and really learned how to function, there has never

been a time from like the middle of 1989 until now that I haven't actually did a job

that I love.

So I can, it resonates with me that the Jaguars will go out the guys who absolutely love football.

And I think anybody that makes it to the league has a, or gets close to it has a love for

the game.

But I'm talking about a love for the game.

Once you start getting things, you love the game more for what it is as opposed to what

it can give you.

And I think when you, that's why they love trademark walkers so much.

That's why they go after those football playing justice because you don't have to motivate

them.

You don't have to get them in shape.

You don't have to sit here and they want to learn.

They want to be sponges.

They want to find out.

They want to ask questions.

And you want to teach.

And you want to be around that type of energy.

That is the thing that is permeating out of that building right now.

And so for, to me, teaching and continuity are so important because there's nothing like,

I taught, I actually taught a class.

I taught one or two classes during, right before COVID and during COVID.

I taught two classes how to cut hair at a cosmetology college.

It's one of those gratifying things I've ever done because there is nothing like teaching

people that want to learn.

That's the type of players that they're going to go get in this draft.

Watch the guys that they pick and then go back and read their bios and go back to their

college websites and see what people said about them.

And you'll see that there's a commonality here.

The commonality is, we love it.

And the only way we're bringing you in here is you've got to love it.

And that makes them a smarter football team.

Remember the days when coaches between 2021 or 2022 and 2024 would come and tell you,

it's not translating from practice to the game.

Didn't have an answer for you as the wife said, we've got to go back and watch the

tape.

You haven't heard, we've got to go watch the tape in a while, have you?

Because when something goes wrong, they can tell you're right then and there or what happened.

They know exactly where it is.

They ain't got to go watch the tape as if that's somebody else playing.

No, I ain't.

You know what happened.

You know what didn't happen because you know what they didn't know.

You know, try to fix it.

It looks like it's fixing and then something else gets broken.

That is not the way they're playing that game down there, man.

We weren't good enough.

Period.

Point blank in the discussion and it starts with me.

That's accountability.

You heard Liam tell the players in meetings, hey, man, I put y'all in a position that wasn't

my best day.

I gave y'all some plays that wasn't a good sequence by me and I didn't do right by you.

And then you have players saying, nah, coach, you did right by us, man.

That's on me.

I shouldn't have done that.

They said, nah, I appreciate you saying that, but you see, this is what I'm talking about.

These guys are trying to take responsibility for things because the only way you can do

that is if you have an intricate knowledge and you know exactly what you're supposed to

do.

You know you're a part of not doing it.

That's the first sign of accountability and see people think teaching and continuity

and learning and being smart about football is like, you know, just go and play and react.

You can't go and play and react the right way until you absolutely know what you're supposed

to be doing.

If you're driving a car and looking down at a map or listening to the navigation system,

the people in the car with you going to get sick, but they want to hear some music.

How about you don't drive unless you know where you're going?

Now, you can turn a music up, have a conversation, drink a cup of coffee, sing songs because

you know where you're going.

It's a difference.

That is the kind of football team I want and that's the one where we don't know where

to have it.

And I'm so glad to be a part of it because one thing about me, I always tell people when

I do these podcasts, I like making fan smarter.

So I like coaches that make their player smarter.

I think it just leads to winning.

Doesn't mean that you don't like physicality, doesn't mean that you don't like football players

to come out and want to smash somebody's face in and doesn't mean that you don't believe

in tackling in the open field, doesn't mean that you don't believe in guys with speed

and long arms.

I do, I believe in all of that, but I think you can do all of that and be smart at the same

time.

Just like the locked on Jaguar's faithful, you guys are smart every day, man, I wouldn't

be here without you.

We absolutely appreciate you joining us.

We don't take you for granted.

All the joy that we can, the draft is a week away.

Before we had AT&T business wireless coverage, our delivery GPS wasn't the most reliable.

Once our driver had to do a 14 point turn to get back on route, a 14 point turn, an influence

or even live stream the whole thing.

Not good for business.

Now with AT&T business wireless, routes are updating on the fly and deliveries are on

time.

And the influence it did get us 53 new followers though, AT&T business wireless.

It changes everything and Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and

save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual, even if it means sitting front row at a comedy

show.

Hey everyone, check out this guy and his bird.

What is this, your first date?

Oh, no, we help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together.

We're married.

Need a human, him to a bird.

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league anyways.

Only pay for what you need at Liberty Mutual.com.
