Videos of a new coach’s first team meeting with his new program are not only great ways to connect with a fan base, but they’ve also become almost customary in today’s world of college football content.

What we don’t get a chance to see or hear is the tough final meeting coaches have with the programs that they’re leaving.

The moment a coach has to look a bunch of college kids in the eyes and deliver the news that he’s taking another job, after those kids have bought in and invested time, sweat, and energy to his vision is something that has long stayed behind closed doors.

But as we’re all aware, with a cell phone in everyone’s pocket, nothing is really private anymore.

Audio leaked from Kalen DeBoer’s final meeting with Washington recently, and has been making its way around social media.

In the nearly nine-minute clip, DeBoer pours his heart out to the team he’s leaving as he attempts to acknowledge the range of emotions the guys in the room have been through over the past week, from preparing and playing in the national title, to losing that game, to learning their leader is leaving and the uncertainty about what is next.

“I hope that you guys can just understand that some day, I don’t expect you to understand right now and if you do I appreciate it, but I hope that you can understand it at some point.”

“The last thing I’ll say is that great programs are bigger than any one person. It’s bigger than any one player. It’s bigger than any coach. “

Hear more of DeBoer’s parting words in the clip.
