Bill O’Brien’s speech today
I caught wind of O'Brien giving a speech today during a Zoom presser introducing Michael Thomas and I was wondering if anyone knew where to give it a listen.
Just looking at the transcription from 610 and seeing reactions to the speech it seems like he nailed everything. By all accounts he was passionate, heartfelt and showed great leadership and heartache. Like many people here, the man has frustrated me more times than I can count and I'm not sold on his abilities to be both coach and GM, but I gained a good deal of respect for him as a human today.
Edit: Just listened to the playback on 610, that was honestly much better than I had even originally thought. BoB handled that wonderfully, and you can hear the pain in his voice. I'm interested to see what the McNairs reveal later today.
I understand that this organization has failed in the past when it comes to social justice, and that will need to be addressed. But if this is the new path they are taking it makes me immensely proud to be a fan of this team.
Edit 2: shoutout to u/MrNoPlanStan for posting the speech in the sub for easy access.
