WEBVTT - Rocky & Jason w/ Richard Skinner -- 12/1/25

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Jason, how are you good? Rocket? You son good?

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 2>So I am fond of saying Jason that there's really

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.560
<v Speaker 2>only two storylines in college football. One is who's gonna

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 2>make the college football playoff? And number two is which

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 2>coaches are getting fired, who's getting hired, where are they going?

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Who's getting hired? And two of you who's getting fired?

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>H yeah, yeah, I combined that into one.

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>But that that has dominated the news cycle certainly this

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>weekend with you know, Lane Kiffin, is he gonna go?

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:31.479
<v Speaker 1>Is he gonna stay?

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 2>He eventually goes in a very very messy way here locally,

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops was just fired the head coach of Kentucky

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 2>for the last thirteen years. That guy's a good coach man,

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>very good coach. Penn State's still looking for a coach.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>They're the first ones to fire their coach and they

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>still don't have one, which is interesting. But to discuss

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 2>all this, I want to bring on someone who I

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>think does a great job following all this stuff, and

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I know has an opinion on the one, the only

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Richard Skinner from Local twelve, Skinny, how are you good?

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Guys? How are you?

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Thanks? Good?

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 2>First, let's get your thoughts on Kiffin. Yeah, there's two

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>ways of looking at it. Number one is it's the system, right,

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>and the system is what makes allows a coach to

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>be able to switch schools before the season is over.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>And if he wants to get the job, and you

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 2>got to recruit the kids, he's got to give them

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the job.

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 2>The other side is, God, you're already a team that

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 2>is going to play for the College Football Playoff. What

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>was your thoughts on the exit of Kiffin.

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, listen, there somehow has to be a way to

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 3>change the calendar for all this, to change the calendar

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 3>of the portal, to change the calendar the coaching situations

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 3>that like, you can't make a higher until change until

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 3>until your team is eliminated, whatever, until a team you're

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>looking for the coach is eliminated, and then the portal

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 3>calendar doesn't start until after the college Football Playoff. I

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 3>know you can argue you're trying to get some kids

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 3>maybe in school for a second semester which starts in January,

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 3>but really you're getting a kid for the next season,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and the next season doesn't start until after that next semester.

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't start until the August semester. Again. I know

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 3>they're early enrollies anymore. I mean, kids graduate high school,

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 3>try to graduate high school early in December to be

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 3>able to go and roll and get to a spring practice.

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Enough of that, just change. Changing the calendar can't be

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 3>that hard. It just can't be.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>But the question is I always go back to, then,

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>why hasn't changed you, I Jason, everybody says this system

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>is broken, how come no one will fix it?

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question. It's the same thing with I mean,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 3>bowl games have been rendered so meaningless. I mean, listen

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>as a as a Kentucky graduate, and I know we're

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna talk Mark stops in a dead and a Kentucky

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 3>football fan. Them making a Bowl has always been a

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 3>big deal to me, because that's about the best you're

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.679
<v Speaker 3>gonna do, right, I mean, you're not gonna compete for

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>national so maybe you do one day. Indiana is certainly

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>doing it now, but that was always a big deal.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>In the last couple of times they've done it, they

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>started like a fifth string quarterback one year because the

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 3>injuries and guys who opted out, And now you see

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 3>that across the board, all these bowl games of guys

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 3>opting out because they're entering the transfer portal. And I

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 3>don't blame the kids. I don't want to this sound

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 3>like that. This is not a blame on them. You're

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>trying to get a head start to your next payday.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.839
<v Speaker 3>I get all that, We're all we've all been there

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 3>from a job standpoint on listen, I want my next

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 3>best payday. We all do. But you can fix this

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 3>by changing the calendar on this. I don't know why

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 3>it's that hard, Like, let's wait until literally the day

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 3>after the National Championship game, which is you know, middish January.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Why is that so hard? And yes, I know, kids,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 3>then probably can enroll for the winner semester. Too bad,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>you can roll in for the next August or whatever

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.559
<v Speaker 3>and still can go through summer practice.

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>No, I agree.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 4>And then you throw on top of the broken brokenness

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 4>of all this, guys, is that just these crazy buyouts?

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Mark Stoop's a getting thirty seven thirty seven

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 4>million dollars in a buyout hockey coach, Yep, yep. When

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 4>you really dig down into that part of it, too,

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 4>you're just like this is like some alt reality here,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 4>like you you're able to just whack a guy and

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 4>you just write him a check. I mean for thirty

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 4>seven million dollars would they pay James Franklin fire him

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 4>in the middle of the season. What there was r

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Kelly was fifty Hell that's what I'm thinking of. And

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 4>it's just like and they just do it. It's find

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 4>the money. Yeah, it's hard to get your arms around

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 4>about how just where to even start to fix all this?

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a little bit. The only difference for Brian or

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 3>for James Franklin was there is offset language where he

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 3>got hired at Virginia Tech. So whatever he makes in

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Virginia Tech does come off to buy out from Penn

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 3>State Mark soops doesn't have that language. They literally and

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 3>that's what was negotiated. I don't know the negotiation where

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 3>it wound up, but he was literally due thirty seven

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 3>million dollars in a lump sum sixty days after his termination.

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 3>They discussed last night. I have not seen the details

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 3>of this yet. I don't even know what's been reported.

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing they've found a way to do that installments,

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>which is an easier way to go to your boosters

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 3>and go, yeah, I don't need thirty seven million.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Now they did, I think it was reported.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 4>Do you agree to like take it in installments instead

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>of yeah, yeah, could have taken on in the next

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 4>thirty days or something.

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Correct, Yeah, no, city, Well he could have, but it

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>was sixty days. Was the determination you had to pay

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 3>him that amount. And that's support to me that I

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 3>don't understand. You know, there's no coach valuable enough to where, man,

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 3>we can't lose him, and we got to put this

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 3>big But coach, I don't want to say their diamond does.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's not fair, that's not right. It's not but coaching.

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of competent coaches in this world who

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 3>give him in the chance can do a really good job.

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Just because you have a guy that you believe in

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>doesn't mean you go, well, gosh, if he leaves, we're done. No,

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 3>you're probably not. I mean, this is not the days

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 3>of Bear Bryant, where the old saying was he can

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>take his in and beat urine, and he can take

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 3>yurin and beat his And it's not that way. It's

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 3>the Jimmy's and the Joe's. It's it's a I l anymore.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I think Ryan Day is a great football coach. Anybody

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 3>thinks other wies it's crazy. But Ryan Day has a

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 3>roster that's been paid for. It's not a knock, it's

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 3>the day. It's where we are. That's where the money

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 3>should go. And listen, if a coach wants to leave

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 3>because of that or you have to fire him, you

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be beholding the pay these buyouts. You simply just say,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>here's your contract, man, and in the last year of

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 3>your contract, before you are last year, if we want

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 3>to renegotiate it, re up it, we'll do it. But

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 3>the buyout is this and it's minimum. And if you

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 3>don't like it, go walk. I mean, Kentucky was so

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 3>scared about Mark Stoops going to Texas A and M

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.799
<v Speaker 3>they negotiated this ridiculous spot. You know what, Kentucky football

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 3>is gonna win anywhere from five to nine games, and

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 3>he won ten twice. And kudos to him because he's

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 3>the only coach in school history ever win ten games

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 3>twice in his career. And again he deserves all the

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 3>credit in the world for that. Although he didn't catch

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 3>the end, that's part of the sec and a downcycle

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 3>live here there. He won ten games twice. He deserves

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 3>all the credits for that. But you know what if

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 3>he'd left for Texas A and m okay, go to

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 3>the next guy, it's not that hard.

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But again it makes you wonder why these ads

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and presidents are so scared and scare of the power

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>of these agents, of the of the Jimmy sexons in

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the world that say, no, you're gonna you're gonna agree

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to this long term buyout clause or our guy isn't coming.

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna take some strong person, some strong ad, to

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>say if that's the case, then then then go fly

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a kite.

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll hire the next guy.

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Something's got to be done to break that that that

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 2>barrier down of the buyos, because that system is not sustainable.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You can't be paying you.

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Know, ten twenty thirty forty million dollars every three or

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>four years to buy out a coach's contract.

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You just can't do it.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I mean look real quickly, I mean look

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 3>at Lane Kiffin for example. And I think Lane's a

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 3>good coach. I think anybody that's reasonable thinks Lane's a

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 3>good coach. What's Lane won? I mean, he won a

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 3>national championship? Did he win anything in the NFL, and

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I know he was saddled to Marcus Ross so on

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 3>his fall. So you're taking a guy who's not a

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 3>complete proving like big time winner and and winning with that.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 3>I like Brian Kelly, what is Brian Kelly? Wont he

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 3>got to a national championship? Okay? Great? And what does

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 3>he want? And yet LSU went out on a complete

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 3>lim for him with a giant buyout and you I

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 3>just your most I don't understand how anybody. I can't

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 3>understand how bord of trustees sign off all means either

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 3>like you're holding to this deal and oh well we're

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 3>on the hook for it. Yeah we gotta pay this. No,

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>you don't stop doing it.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I think what it is skinny is as much as

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>we like to say this system isn't sustainable, it is.

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 2>And how colleges operate, they operate under a totally unrealistic

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 2>set of parameters.

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Usually there's a bottom line.

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 2>And here's your budget, here's how much money you have,

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>and there's no like golden parachute out there. But these

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 2>colleges that they know in the back of their mind,

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>these board of trustees, these ads, they know, you know,

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>what if it really came down to it. We can

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>call Jason Williams and John Williams and Richard Skinner and say, look, man,

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>we need five we need five million bucks.

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And they give it to them. And so they always

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>know in the back.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.719
<v Speaker 2>Of their head there's that bailout form. So that's why

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 2>they of these things up front. And it's completely ruining

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 2>the whole deal.

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 3>It is totally.

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 4>The other thing, too, is in on the on the

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 4>flip side of this, you've got you've got U see

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 4>and you look at a place like you see that

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 4>is being patient with the guy. You know, you had

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 4>Michigan State which pulled the pulled the plug out in

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 4>their coach after two seasons.

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 3>It says.

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 4>The whole thing is really I don't envy in any

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 4>athletic director or whatever school they're at in FBS football,

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 4>because you know, you try to balance like, you know,

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 4>the just how patient should you be versus you know,

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 4>it's a whole it's a total judgment call. And then

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.839
<v Speaker 4>you throw in the money and I don't know, but

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 4>then you got all this pressure of you know, the

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 4>social media world that doesn't really maybe influence the money,

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 4>but it's it's a it's a trendy thing right now

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 4>to pull the plug on your coach really quickly and

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 4>when you're not doing it, well, what's wrong with you?

0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like that's probably what's going on at

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 4>U see right now.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. No, I mean if it used to be coaches,

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, would get the five year contract, right, you

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 3>want to get a whole recruiting class through, including like

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.599
<v Speaker 3>they'd red shirt guys along the way. So and that

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 3>was always pretty fair, right, You get yourself your first

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.439
<v Speaker 3>class and you get to see them through and if

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.319
<v Speaker 3>you don't get it done by then, well then you

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>just didn't get it done. But now it's literally the

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 3>chass point John Smith Michigan State, who took over for

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 3>the disgrace Mel Tucker, who they got lucky to get

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 3>out from under the guaranteed Remember they were guaranteeing him

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 3>I think seventy five mil. And somehow they got out

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 3>of it because they got a chance of fireing with

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 3>for cause they were lucky in that regard. And then

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 3>they get John Smith. He did really good things up

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 3>up in Oregon State and didn't do quite enough fast

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 3>enough at Michigan State. And how he goes it's the

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 3>cycles crazy.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy and I feel like every school, and I

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>guess good for you.

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>You always think that you can win it, but the

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>reality is there's probably like one hundred and twenty eight

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>schools that are never gonna win it. They're never gonna

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>win it. All right, it's gonna come down to about ten.

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>And I always wonder this too, guys, like, at what

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>point does the school go, Okay, we got we got

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to pay a buy out to a coach, we got

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>to pay the new coach, we got to raise twenty

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 2>million dollars in and I'll.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Pay a roster.

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 2>At what point does even if you win a national title,

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>at what point is it not worth it? What point

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 2>does it cost you money and it's not actually worth

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 2>it on a bottom line, on a on a spreadsheet

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 2>to win a national title?

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Great, great question, that great question.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it really is a great question. Hey, listen, I'll

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 3>go back to the whole, this whole and I the

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 3>whole Jimmy's and Joe things is a big deal. I

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>think Signetty's great. He'll tell you he's great, right, Yeah,

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 3>just go google me. I win. But Mark Cuban's got

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 3>money in that program. Mark Cuban's got a lot of money.

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Right again, this is not a not I don't want

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 3>this to sound like a knock. This is where we

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 3>are today, Texas Tech. I think Jillian McGuire is a

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 3>great coach, he's got great culture. They play the game

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.960
<v Speaker 3>the right way. I love watching them play. Actually, they

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 3>do everything I really need afactor. Yeah correct, I mean

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:00.839
<v Speaker 3>that's just it. I mean you can look to it

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.199
<v Speaker 3>those and go, oh yeah, there's the money train right there. Okay, thanks, Yeah,

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 3>we're good. I mean that's that's what it is. Go

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 3>build your loster and I'll get Joe Schmow to go

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:09.079
<v Speaker 3>coach you.

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 2>There's so many issues with college football, and it's amazing

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 2>how popular it is, and there's such drama, there's such

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 2>interest in it. You wonder, at what point does do

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>people say, come on, we got a coach. A coach

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>on a playoff team is leaving his We always, we

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 2>always did.

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Play the hypothetic.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 2>What happens if there's a player that decides to opt

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 2>out of a out out of a playoff game because

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>he wants to go to the NFL.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, we haven't seen that yet, but we've seen a

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>coach do it.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.319
<v Speaker 2>It's wild but everybody that the problem is. I don't

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>know if you agree, but you know, everybody has their own.

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.199
<v Speaker 2>There's like too many chiefs. There's not one singular chief

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and head of college football. If you're Greg Sanke and

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>you're in charge of the SEC, you're the commissioner. You

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>only care about the SEC. You don't care about the

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 2>viability of the Big Ten. You don't care at all.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.599
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes if you look back at the history of

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 2>like the NFL AFL merger, it was the acquis it

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 2>was the act weesk Eno of you know what, let's

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 2>do what's best for your greater NFL instead of what

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 2>you get and what you get. But until some of

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>these powerful people are are able to be kind of

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.599
<v Speaker 2>put in their place and say, look, you might have

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to take a depth. It might not be exactly best

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>for the SEC, but it's best for all of college football,

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 2>and so you can somehow make that happen.

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I think we're going to be having these kinds of conversations.

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll leave you with this. I mean back to

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 3>your point about what where's the breaking point? I guess

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not there either, Because boys, I got up early

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Saturday morning and it was cold outside, and my front

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 3>yard is I got two oak trees. I got leaves

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 3>all over the place. I spent three hours raking leaves

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 3>so I could come in at noon to watch the

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Kentucky game and to watch the Ohio State game. And

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.959
<v Speaker 3>I laid on my couch watching football until almost midnight,

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 3>breaking for a.

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Meal at one point to go to the bathroom too.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 3>I did, I did, I got it. I got up

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 3>a couple of times. Do that maybe make a drink

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.680
