"Aqi? What's wrong? Is it okay?"

Augustus's call interrupted Lu Yiqi's immersed thoughts, came back to his senses, was slightly stunned, smiled at Augustus, shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about some problems."

The pressure from inside and outside the league, even if no one is talking in Lu Yiqi's ear, he is a sports journalist, how could he not know?

He also knew the discrimination chains of NCAA and NFL coaches; however, his attitude was always different from those conservative views in the league, and he did not think that NCAA coaches could not adapt to survival in the NFL:

Jim Hubble was too tough in his personality, which led to poor management of the locker room; Chip Kelly was too limited to his tacticality, and he was exhausted. He shone like a meteor and returned to the NFL field in shame after just a few seasons.

In fact, Hubble's talent and ability can fully gain a foothold in the NFL, but his personality is rather than bent, and he doesn't like the NFL's interests first, so he chose to stay in the NCAA - and he is also very prosperous in the NCAA, and there is no need to look at the faces of professional team bosses and team managers. In the university arena, Hubble also has his own world, just like Shaban.

Therefore, after finishing his internship in the Philadelphia Eagles, Lu Yiqi chose to return to his alma mater to teach without hesitation, without any psychological barriers.

Now, since he can break the trajectory of history and replace McCarthy as the head coach of Green Bay Packers, he also believes that he can continue to break the constraints of history and write his own history. For example, if the winning rate in the first season exceeds 50%, starts with this goal.

When I recalled the phone call from my mother just now, my body couldn't help but feel a little lighter.

"Gas, uh, where did we just talk about?" Lu Yiqi returned to his seat, "Yes, I have something to ask for your opinion."

"Why is it suddenly so formal? It doesn't look like you at all, haha." Augustus laughed.

Lu Yiqi also laughed, "Because things are very formal."

"I know, you've promised LSU's job; but I still want to send out a formal invitation, hoping you can follow me to join Green Bay. My idea is an offensive coordinator, but the team said they need to interview you and then decide. I guess they may be more inclined to you to go to the wide receiver or quarterback position."

Lu Yiqi showed some apology. Although as the head coach, he doesn't have much power now. "You should feel embarrassed, but I still hope..."

"In a dilemma?" Augustus interrupted Lu Yiqi's words eagerly, widening his eyes like a big-eyed frog. "No, no, no, I'm not embarrassed at all. This is simply a great invitation. I can, I'm willing, I have no problem, tell me when I will go to the interview."

"...Gas, are you serious?" Lu Yiqi still needs to confirm, "Don't you need to think about it?"

"Archi, that's the Green Bay Packer. That's not just a professional team, but a Green Bay Packer. Do you understand? How could I refuse the Packer?" Augustus laughed heroically, and couldn't help but stand up and dance. "There is indeed some troublesome at Louisiana State University, but don't worry, I'll handle it properly. Haha, am I going to enter the professional league, too?"

"Look, I have the vision and can foresee your future early! How about it? Worship me?" Augustus almost whistled up to the sky.

Lu Yiqi rubbed his temples, "I'm starting to regret it now."

"Don't do this. I will conquer the entire coaching team with my charm. Don't worry, let me leave this!" Augustus boasted with confidence, slapped his chest hard, making a thump.

Lu Yiqi did not refute and nodded, "Then, it's up to you to meet Latimer this afternoon."

Augustus' smile was stiff on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of constipation, "Latimer? Are you going to convince him to go to Green Bay together? I think your tactical philosophy doesn't fit."

"It's true that it's not a good fit. But Latimer's experience is very valuable, and more importantly, after this season's running-in, he knows what the ideal defensive formation I'm looking forward to is like. Maybe he won't agree, maybe he will continue to hinder, but he is the best candidate to evolve from theory to reality."

Lu Yiqi said truthfully, "Maybe there are excellent defensive coordinators in the Packers, but they may not be able to understand my ideas and then start from scratch. This is really tiring. In addition, Latimer's age can also help me to put on the team, otherwise it would be bad if I was too young."

"That doesn't necessarily mean to be... who knows if he is...I really don't know what he is thinking..." Augustus murmured to himself. Although he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying, his disgusting expression already explained everything.

Lu Yiqi said seriously, "Didn't someone say that I'm helping me with the coaching team?"

"..." Augustus seemed to be pinched to his throat, and then slowly, his eyes quietly shifted away, whistling, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

From the NCAA to the NFL, Lu Yiqi clearly understood the importance of the coaching team.

Lu Yiqi also agrees with the traditional view: not every NCAA coach is suitable for the NFL, but before he joins the Green Bay Packers, he still needs to gather a team of his own to open up the situation in the team, from daily training to tactical meetings, etc., he needs help.

As Augustus said, Latimer is not the perfect choice, but after comprehensive consideration, Lu Yiqi still hopes that Latimer can follow him to Green Bay.

Looking at the whole season, Latimer did stubbornly stick to his tactics, but at the critical moment, he still chose to stand on the same front as Lu Yiqi; and his solid theoretical knowledge and years of experience in the stadium were also Lu Yiqi's shortcomings.

Among the entire coaching team, Lu Yiqi's first caller was Latimer, and the second was Augustus.

Latimer did not give a positive response on the phone, but just made an appointment for a meeting this afternoon, which also made Lu Yiqi realize that it might still take some verbal remarks.

After all, after Pres was hospitalized for heart disease, Latimer did not take over the position of interim head coach and did not seem to have any ambitions to promote. So, is the attractiveness of professional teams enough?

In the afternoon, Lu Yiqi and Augustus both arrived at Latimer's home. This was the first time Lu Yiqi visited Latimer privately, and it felt a little strange:

They don't seem to be friends either.

After just meeting, Lu Yiqi realized that it was impossible for Latimer to nod and agree. Because he saw Robert at Latimer's house, Lu Yiqi had already understood Latimer's intention without thinking deeply.

really.

"If you invite me, then forget it. If you really need help and establish your own lineage, then take David to Green Bay."
