coach Prime has asked in a roundabout way about the decision to no longer take questions from Sean Keeler I encourage you to watch the full video you I've never read an article or a comment and said oh that's going to make me go harder I'm going to go hard blocks the outside noise or feeds on the outside noise um you don't care really because it don't influence you I've never read an article or a comment and said oh that's going to make me go harder I'm going to go hard regardless but that comment just allowed me to know where you stand okay so that's that's the only differential U of the thing it it doesn't Propel me where I came from Propel me okay how I grew up propelled me like you know being a African-American one of few that's a head coach in college football that kind of stuff propels me it's not what you say that lets me know what you're saying okay there the second part goes to where do you stand or where do I stand or where do we stand together so I hope that I'm covering you from now through the college football playoffs I hope so too yeah I pray so yeah um but I'm also known as a person that sometimes asks less than supportive questions or critical questions so if I ask a negative question we do not answer them anymore that's being negative right now like you take an approach that I'm going to be negative I'm I'm not negative to anybody in here I would challenge you and ask you why or where is this coming from so I'm not I'm not built like that I'm not built to hate I'm not a hateful guy I'm not a I I come with love I think if anybody in here has had encounters with me I don't come with the bull jum I come with the peace and the joy now when you show me where you stand I might have to change that a little bit so I'm not going to match your ignorance or whatever not saying that you're ignorant but a person I'm not going to match well that's your prerogative I don't have to come where you where you are because my life is complete I don't like what you say what you do is not going to change my life okay I agree with that yeah um with as many good things happening in this program this football program do you feel persecuted by outside noise um I don't know about persecuted this is a way of life for me you you you guys act like this is the first time I've been shot at I've been lied on cheated talked about mistreated that's the gospel song this is not the first time for this but as I mature instead of shooting back or lashing out or just dismissing you I want to know why like let's help each other let's figure out the why because if you understand the why in people that that helps you tremendously because that's all I come from I just come to find I want to no why what provokes that that probably takes longer than a press conference for some
