Daryl came back from the bubble. It’s kind of funny, because I made a statement [about him staying] on CNBC. And then, the next day, they get back. … Daryl has always had an out in his contract. This was the year his last kid graduated from high school, where we could kind of do what he wanted to do. He always told me he wanted to go up East. That’s why he’s had a guy like Rafael Stone that’s been his right hand, that’s always worked with us. You know, I understand. Daryl has been here 15 years, and he always told me this, when I bought the team. He liked the opportunity to hopefully go back up East one day. That’s where he’s from, and he wants his children to experience that up there. I get it, and I understand it. Daryl is still here helping us with our coaching search. Usually in sports, when you’re gone, you’re gone. Daryl isn’t gone, Daryl will always be there for me. I appreciate everything Daryl has done for this franchise, and what he’s done for me as a new owner over the last three years.
