WEBVTT - Rocky & Jason -- 12/1/25 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840 Jason, how are you good? Rocket? You son good? 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.240 So I am fond of saying Jason that there's really 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.560 only two storylines in college football. One is who's gonna 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.160 make the college football playoff? And number two is which 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.360 coaches are getting fired, who's getting hired, where are they going? 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:20.800 Who's getting hired? And two of you who's getting fired? 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.200 H yeah, yeah, I combined that into one. 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.480 But that that has dominated the news cycle certainly this 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.360 weekend with you know, Lane Kiffin, is he gonna go? 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:31.479 Is he gonna stay? 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.879 He eventually goes in a very very messy way here locally, 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.760 Mark Stoops was just fired the head coach of Kentucky 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.599 for the last thirteen years. That guy's a good coach man, 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.520 very good coach. Penn State's still looking for a coach. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.800 They're the first ones to fire their coach and they 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.600 still don't have one, which is interesting. But to discuss 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.199 all this, I want to bring on someone who I 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.400 think does a great job following all this stuff, and 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.760 I know has an opinion on the one, the only 0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.360 Richard Skinner from Local twelve, Skinny, how are you good? 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:00.880 Guys? How are you? 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:01.120 Thanks? 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:01.680 Good? 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.800 First, let's get your thoughts on Kiffin. Yeah, there's two 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.280 ways of looking at it. Number one is it's the system, right, 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.679 and the system is what makes allows a coach to 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.480 be able to switch schools before the season is over. 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.560 And if he wants to get the job, and you 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.320 got to recruit the kids, he's got to give them 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:21.640 the job. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:21.920 Now. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.520 The other side is, God, you're already a team that 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.880 is going to play for the College Football Playoff. What 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.840 was your thoughts on the exit of Kiffin. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.120 Yeah, listen, there somehow has to be a way to 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.520 change the calendar for all this, to change the calendar 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.760 of the portal, to change the calendar the coaching situations 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.960 that like, you can't make a higher until change until 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.959 until your team is eliminated, whatever, until a team you're 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.200 looking for the coach is eliminated, and then the portal 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.520 calendar doesn't start until after the college Football Playoff. I 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.160 know you can argue you're trying to get some kids 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.320 maybe in school for a second semester which starts in January, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.000 but really you're getting a kid for the next season, 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.000 and the next season doesn't start until after that next semester. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.400 It doesn't start until the August semester. Again. I know 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.320 they're early enrollies anymore. I mean, kids graduate high school, 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.240 try to graduate high school early in December to be 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.160 able to go and roll and get to a spring practice. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.520 Enough of that, just change. Changing the calendar can't be 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:19.760 that hard. It just can't be. 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:21.639 I agree. 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.200 But the question is I always go back to, then, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.120 why hasn't changed you, I Jason, everybody says this system 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.320 is broken, how come no one will fix it? 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.440 That's a great question. It's the same thing with I mean, 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.560 bowl games have been rendered so meaningless. I mean, listen 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.560 as a as a Kentucky graduate, and I know we're 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.320 gonna talk Mark stops in a dead and a Kentucky 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.040 football fan. Them making a Bowl has always been a 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:45.840 big deal to me, because that's about the best you're 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.679 gonna do, right, I mean, you're not gonna compete for 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.880 national so maybe you do one day. Indiana is certainly 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.760 doing it now, but that was always a big deal. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.560 In the last couple of times they've done it, they 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.760 started like a fifth string quarterback one year because the 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.920 injuries and guys who opted out, And now you see 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.920 that across the board, all these bowl games of guys 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.160 opting out because they're entering the transfer portal. And I 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.600 don't blame the kids. I don't want to this sound 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.040 like that. This is not a blame on them. You're 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.880 trying to get a head start to your next payday. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.839 I get all that, We're all we've all been there 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.400 from a job standpoint on listen, I want my next 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:15.200 best payday. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:15.799 We all do. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.160 But you can fix this by changing the calendar on this. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.679 I don't know why it's that hard, Like, let's wait 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.119 until literally the day after the National Championship game, which 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.360 is you know, middish January. Why is that so hard? 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.880 And yes, I know, kids, then probably can enroll for 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.280 the winner semester. Too bad, you can roll in for 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.560 the next August or whatever and still can go through 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.559 summer practice. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.800 No, I agree. And then you throw on top of 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.120 the broken brokenness of all this, guys, is that just 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.880 these crazy buyouts? I mean, Mark Stoop's a getting thirty 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.840 seven thirty seven million dollars in a buyout hockey coach, Yep, yep. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.960 When you really dig down into that part of it, too, 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.320 you're just like this is like some alt reality here, 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.840 like you you're able to just whack a guy and 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.920 you just write him a check. I mean for thirty 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.120 seven million dollars would they pay James Franklin fire him 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.960 in the middle of the season. What there was r 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.960 Kelly was fifty Hell that's what I'm thinking of. And 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.440 it's just like and they just do it. It's find 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.120 the money. Yeah, it's hard to get your arms around 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.120 about how just where to even start to fix all this? 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:23.960 Yeah, a little bit. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.279 The only difference for Brian or for James Franklin was 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.000 there is offset language where he got hired at Virginia Tech. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.520 So whatever he makes in Virginia Tech does come off 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.960 to buy out from Penn State Mark soops doesn't have 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.560 that language. They literally and that's what was negotiated. I 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.120 don't know the negotiation where it wound up, but he 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.400 was literally due thirty seven million dollars in a lump 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:48.520 sum sixty days after his termination. They discussed last night. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.280 I have not seen the details of this yet. I 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.920 don't even know what's been reported. I'm guessing they've found 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.040 a way to do that installments, which is an easier 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.400 way to go to your boosters and go, yeah, I 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.440 don't need thirty seven million. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.200 Now they did, I think it was reported. Do you 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.520 agree to like take it in installments instead of yeah, yeah, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.800 could have taken on in the next thirty days or something. 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.520 Correct, Yeah, no, city, Well he could have, but it 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.200 was sixty days. Was the determination you had to pay 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.480 him that amount. And that's support to me that I 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.280 don't understand. You know, there's no coach valuable enough to where, man, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.200 we can't lose him, and we got to put this 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.520 big But coach, I don't want to say their diamond does. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.680 And that's not fair, that's not right. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.760 It's not but coaching. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.800 There's a lot of competent coaches in this world who 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.760 give him in the chance can do a really good job. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.640 Just because you have a guy that you believe in 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.560 doesn't mean you go, well, gosh, if he leaves, we're done. No, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.440 you're probably not. I mean, this is not the days 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.400 of Bear Bryant, where the old saying was he can 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.160 take his in and beat urine, and he can take 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.960 yurin and beat his And it's not that way. It's 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.320 the Jimmy's and the Joe's. It's it's a I l anymore. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.320 I think Ryan Day is a great football coach. Anybody 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.080 thinks other wies it's crazy. But Ryan Day has a 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.800 roster that's been paid for. It's not a knock, it's 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:01.240 the day. 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.120 It's where we are. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.840 That's where the money should go. And listen, if a 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.800 coach wants to leave because of that or you have 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.359 to fire him, you shouldn't be beholding the pay these buyouts. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.880 You simply just say, here's your contract, man, and in 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.800 the last year of your contract, before you are last year, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.360 if we want to renegotiate it, re up it, we'll 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.840 do it. But the buyout is this and it's minimum. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.640 And if you don't like it, go walk. I mean, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.000 Kentucky was so scared about Mark Stoops going to Texas 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.640 A and M they negotiated this ridiculous spot. You know what, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.840 Kentucky football is gonna win anywhere from five to nine games, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.920 and he won ten twice. And kudos to him because 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.360 he's the only coach in school history ever win ten 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.800 games twice in his career. And again he deserves all 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.520 the credit in the world for that. Although he didn't 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.240 catch the end, that's part of the sec and a 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.600 downcycle live here there. He won ten games twice. He 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.520 deserves all the credits for that. But you know what 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.120 if he'd left for Texas A and m okay, go 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.640 to the next guy, it's not that hard. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.000 Yeah, But again it makes you wonder why these ads 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.840 and presidents are so scared and scare of the power 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.760 of these agents, of the of the Jimmy sexons in 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.800 the world that say, no, you're gonna you're gonna agree 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.400 to this long term buyout clause or our guy isn't coming. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.440 It's gonna take some strong person, some strong ad, to 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040 say if that's the case, then then then go fly 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:17.560 a kite. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.200 We'll hire the next guy. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.000 Something's got to be done to break that that that 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.440 barrier down of the buyos, because that system is not sustainable. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.080 You can't be paying you. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.600 Know, ten twenty thirty forty million dollars every three or 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.680 four years to buy out a coach's contract. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.400 You can't. You just can't do it. 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.000 I mean, I mean look real quickly, I mean look 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.680 at Lane Kiffin for example. And I think Lane's a 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.360 good coach. I think anybody that's reasonable thinks Lane's a 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.920 good coach. What's Lane won? I mean, he won a 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.720 national championship? Did he win anything in the NFL, and 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.360 I know he was saddled to Marcus Ross so on 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.440 his fall. So you're taking a guy who's not a 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.840 complete proving like big time winner and and winning with that. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.720 I like Brian Kelly, what is Brian Kelly? Wont he 0:07:58.760 --> 0:07:59.880 got to a national championship? 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:00.880 Okay? Great? 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.720 And what does he want? And yet LSU went out 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.600 on a complete lim for him with a giant buyout 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.080 and you I just your most I don't understand how anybody. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.880 I can't understand how bord of trustees sign off all 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.960 means either like you're holding to this deal and oh 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.600 well we're on the hook for it. Yeah we gotta 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.480 pay this. No, you don't stop doing it. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.240 I think what it is skinny is as much as 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.480 we like to say this system isn't sustainable, it is. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.440 And how colleges operate, they operate under a totally unrealistic 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:32.760 set of parameters. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.199 Usually there's a bottom line. 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.400 And here's your budget, here's how much money you have, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.040 and there's no like golden parachute out there. But these 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.560 colleges that they know in the back of their. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.400 Mind, these board of trustees, these ads, they know, you know, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.720 what if it really came down to it. We can 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:51.280 call Jason Williams and John Williams and Richard Skinner and say, look, man, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.720 we need five we need five million bucks, and they 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.760 give it to them. And so they always know in 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:57.240 the back. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.719 Of their head there's that bailout form. So that's why 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.480 they of these things up front. And it's completely ruining 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:02.959 the whole deal. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.360 It is totally. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.000 The other thing, too, is in on the on the 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.720 flip side of this, you've got you've got U see 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.480 and you look at a place like you see that 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.040 is being patient with the guy. You know, you had 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.640 Michigan State which pulled the pulled the plug out in 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.160 their coach after two seasons. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:21.200 It says. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.000 The whole thing is really I don't envy in any 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.840 athletic director or whatever school they're at in FBS football, 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.920 because you know, you try to balance like, you know, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:39.520 the just how patient should you be versus you know, 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.000 it's a whole it's a total judgment call. And then 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.839 you throw in the money and I don't know, but 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.880 then you got all this pressure of you know, the 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.439 social media world that doesn't really maybe influence the money, 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.240 but it's it's a it's a trendy thing right now 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.520 to pull the plug on your coach really quickly and 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.760 when you're not doing it, well, what's wrong with you? 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.520 And I feel like that's probably what's going on at 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:00.240 U see right now. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:01.640 Yeah. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.040 No, I mean if it used to be coaches, you know, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.959 would get the five year contract, right, you want to 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.120 get a whole recruiting class through, including like they'd red 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.040 shirt guys along the way. So and that was always 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.719 pretty fair, right, You get yourself your first class and 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.719 you get to see them through and if you don't 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.160 get it done by then, well then you just didn't. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:18.360 Get it done. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.439 But now it's literally the chass point John Smith Michigan State, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.880 who took over for the disgrace Mel Tucker, who they 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.079 got lucky to get out from under the guaranteed Remember 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.439 they were guaranteeing him I think seventy five mil. And 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.040 somehow they got out of it because they got a 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.719 chance of fireing with for cause they were lucky in 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.840 that regard. And then they get John Smith. He did 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.800 really good things up up in Oregon State and didn't 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.520 do quite enough fast enough at Michigan State. And how 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.400 he goes it's the cycles crazy. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.240 It's crazy and I feel like every school, and I 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:47.920 guess good for you. 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.480 You always think that you can win it, but the 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.840 reality is there's probably like one hundred and twenty eight 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.800 schools that are never gonna win it. They're never gonna 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.360 win it. All right, it's gonna come down to about ten. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.240 And I always wonder this too, guys, like, at what 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.640 point does the school go, Okay, we got we got 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.120 to pay a buy out to a coach, we got 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.800 to pay the new coach, we got to raise twenty 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.440 million dollars in and I'll pay a roster. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.640 At what point does even if you win a national title, 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.000 at what point is it not worth it? What point 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.600 does it cost you money and it's not actually worth 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.199 it on a bottom line, on a on a spreadsheet 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.760 to win a national title? 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.480 Great, great question, that great question. 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.120 Yeah, it really is a great question. Hey, listen, I'll 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.800 go back to the whole, this whole and I the 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.520 whole Jimmy's and Joe things is a big deal. I 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.320 think Signetty's great. He'll tell you he's great, right, Yeah, 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.920 just go google me. I win. But Mark Cuban's got 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.080 money in that program. Mark Cuban's got a lot of money. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.720 Right again, this is not a not I don't want 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.040 this to sound like a knock. This is where we 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.800 are today, Texas Tech. I think Jillian McGuire is a 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.360 great coach, he's got great culture. They play the game 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.960 the right way. I love watching them play. Actually, they 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.160 do everything I really need afactor. Yeah correct, I mean 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:00.839 that's just it. I mean you can look to it 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.199 those and go, oh yeah, there's the money train right there. Okay, thanks, Yeah, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.120 we're good. I mean that's that's what it is. Go 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.640 build your loster and I'll get Joe Schmow to go 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:09.079 coach you. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:09.880 Yeah. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.560 There's so many issues with college football, and it's amazing 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.200 how popular it is, and there's such drama, there's such 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.439 interest in it. You wonder, at what point does do 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.920 people say, come on, we got a coach. A coach 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.240 on a playoff team is leaving his We always, we 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:27.920 always did. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:28.720 Play the hypothetic. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.560 What happens if there's a player that decides to opt 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.240 out of a out out of a playoff game because 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.360 he wants to go to the NFL. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.280 Well, we haven't seen that yet, but we've seen a 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:39.920 coach do it. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.319 It's wild but everybody that the problem is. I don't 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.000 know if you agree, but you know, everybody has their own. 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.199 There's like too many chiefs. There's not one singular chief 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.760 and head of college football. If you're Greg Sanke and 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.240 you're in charge of the SEC, you're the commissioner. You 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.679 only care about the SEC. You don't care about the 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.040 viability of the Big Ten. You don't care at all. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.599 But sometimes if you look back at the history of 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.400 like the NFL AFL merger, it was the acquis it 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.360 was the act weesk Eno of you know what, let's 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.400 do what's best for your greater NFL instead of what 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.400 you get and what you get. But until some of 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.000 these powerful people are are able to be kind of 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.599 put in their place and say, look, you might have 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.960 to take a depth. It might not be exactly best 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.640 for the SEC, but it's best for all of college football, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.400 and so you can somehow make that happen. 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.920 I think we're going to be having these kinds of conversations. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.920 Yeah, I'll leave you with this. I mean back to 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.000 your point about what where's the breaking point? I guess 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.840 I'm not there either, Because boys, I got up early 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.520 Saturday morning and it was cold outside, and my front 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.640 yard is I got two oak trees. I got leaves 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.079 all over the place. I spent three hours raking leaves 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.800 so I could come in at noon to watch the 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.000 Kentucky game and to watch the Ohio State game. And 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.959 I laid on my couch watching football until almost midnight, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:55.760 breaking for a. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.800 Meal at one point to go to the bathroom too. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.680 I did, I did, I got it. I got up 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:02.160 a couple of times. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.440 Do that maybe make a drink or two? 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.760 But yes, I mean I just was like, okay, the 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.480 news were over.

Called in History nineteen thirteen. 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.440 So what Willie was? 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.120 It was just playing three? I think, yeah, four or 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.680 four years old? Yeah, no, I was gonna say he 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.680 was in his third or fourth year at at Deer 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:11.480 Park High School. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.560 Oh yeah, that's right. What year was a yeah? Squad title? Okay, yeah, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:17.000 what he was? 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:17.480 He was this? 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.440 I think he was a junior. Then there you go. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:24.240 But on this day, Henry Ford installs the first moving 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.840 assembly line, one of the most revolutionary inventions in the 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.640 history of the world. UH installs the assembly line for 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.000 the mass production of an entire automobile. As innovation reduced 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.560 the time it took listen to this to build a 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.920 car for more than twelve hours. Used to take twelve 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:46.520 hours in nineteen twelve to build a car now and 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.560 then after the assembly line assembly line took one hour 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.320 and thirty three minutes. That's it, It's made, the whole 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.720 thing yep. Ford's Model T, which was introduced to nineteen 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.160 oh eight, was a very simple, sturdy, relatively inexpense of 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.160 a machine. But if you know, of course, you're trying 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.600 to figure out ways to cut your costs. As someone 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.280 who manufactures these things, uh Ford had been trying to 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.679 increase his factors productivity for years. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.400 The workers who built his Model End. 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.399 Cars, which was the predecessor of the Model T, they 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.320 would arrange the parts in a row on the floor, 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.720 put the under construction auto on skids, and would drag 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.920 it around, you know, to the different parts like the 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:31.679 you know, the engine parts are over here, and then 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.280
