29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: How about your your boys over at Notre Dame throwing

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: a fit because they didn't make the college football playoffs

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 4: as a USC alum. That's got to kind of make

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: you smile a little bit of their behavior.

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: Not really, I don't. I don't get that way about rivalries.

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: Like some people act like a jackass, alienate a whole

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: bunch of people.

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: Wow, I understand. Are you insinuating something, brother?

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: No?

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: Oh, go okay, But I do understand their frustration because

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: last year Notre Dame won four games in the College

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: Football Playoff, and I think it helped the college Football

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: Playoff in the annual year of having a bunch of games,

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: and they use their name all season long and their

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: reveal show and then flipped them when they hadn't played

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: a game. So I understand why they're upset, and then

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: the one bowl game they're supposed to go playing is

46
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: like the double circle with the frosting and the pop

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 3: Tarts and just the total ESPN. I mean, the only

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: things could be the Mayo Bowl, right if you dip

49
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: Marcus Freeman and Mayo Dukes, which I heard as a

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: little kick to it, But so I understand them saying,

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: look the part about it that bothers me, and I

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 3: don't feel bad for Notre Dame though it's probably out

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: of Amma that doesn't deserve to be in there. But

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: when the one thing I do want to point out

55
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 3: is when the playoff did expand, and it's probably going

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: to expand more very soon. But when the playoff did

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: expand and everybody was like, well, we're not going to

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: have the great argument we had about who's number three,

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: and what about who's going to care who's number thirteen,

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: it turns out a lot of people care, and making

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: the playoff is pretty much that or bust for a

62
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: lot of college football programs, including USC and Washington and

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: our respective towns. That being said, softy, I do find

64
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: it really annoying that ESPN owns the ACC, they own

65
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: the SEC, they own the playoff, right, and they own

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: like ninety five percent of the bowl games, and then

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: they have all these talking heads arguing about that they

68
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: put it on TV. They've created the whole problem. They're

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: making it up as they go along, and they're sitting

70
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: here and telling you while they're pissing in your face

71
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: that it's that it's raining stud That part of it

72
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: is is pretty wild, is that the TV companies are

73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: behind this. And we use words like the ACC and

74
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: the SEC and the Big ten, but we're really just

75
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: talking about Fox and Disney. Yeah, and that's really the

76
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 3: bottom line. And I maybe the Notre Dame athletic director

77
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: has done one too many interviews or press conferences about this,

78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: but Notre Dame feels like they have the biggest puzzo

79
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: and the pants of college football. And if they want,

80
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: if they don't want to, you know, it's like Dirk Diggler,

81
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: if they don't want to, they don't want to perform

82
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: that day for ESPN and playing their reindeer games. I

83
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 3: certainly I can totally understand it because they feel look

84
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: and no, her name is going to be independent as

85
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: long as somebody's willing to pay them. Big network TV

86
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: money to be an independent right, And how long has

87
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: that NBC deal been what is it thirty four years? Yeah,

88
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 3: since nineteen ninety one with Notre Dame, right right, right,

89
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 3: So it feels it feels like they have a pretty

90
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: good platform there and that they're going to be able

91
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: to do what they want. And the college football Playoffs

92
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: is going to expand anyway, so it's not likely that

93
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: we'll have this problem again. It is hilarious because it

94
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: just speaks to the instability of the sports and how

95
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: wacky it is.

96
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 4: I just can't get over the Dirt Giggler reference.

97
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: And you know what I mean. I want to aff

98
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: right now.

99
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 4: You know what I'm thinking about.

100
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: It's my big c and I want to have right now.

101
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: If Notre Dame is Dirt Diggler, who's playing the role

102
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 4: of the colonel? Oh, may I see it? That would

103
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: Robert rid remember Robert Ridsley.

104
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Probably be NBC.

105
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: Okay, NBC wants to see it.

106
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: Right, And Boston College is chest rockwell.

107
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: Oh god, unbelievable. Remember Phillip Seymour Hoffman in that Yeah,

108
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: he was he was fabulous when he tried to come

109
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: on to Marky Mark and he guys the car.

110
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: The guy that made that movie. He's got three names.

111
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: Paul Thomas Anderson. Is that the guy's name. He's really

112
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: close friends with our friend down here that works at KFI,

113
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: Tim Conway Junior, really and he put he put Tim

114
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: Conway in one of his more recent movies, Licorice Pizza,

115
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: which was pretty cool. Just remember, Paul Thomas Anderson, Did

116
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: I get it right?

117
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: There?

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: You go, Phillip Seymour Hoffman sitting in his car.

119
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: Stupid. Don't do that man.

120
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 4: Well, it's uh, it's really kind of a it's disappointing

121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: because it's supposed to be a wonderful time of the

122
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 4: year for college football and instead it's not right. A

123
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: lot of the whole season.

124
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: Has been that way, and the whole season when James

125
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: Franklin got the whole season got up in.

126
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: But what about these ball games now, because it's not

127
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: just Notre Dame. You know new Heiseel Rick new Heiseel,

128
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: who does a weekly hit with us courtesy at Taco Time.

129
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: He'll be on tomorrow. By the way, he's got a

130
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: pretty good idea. I think he was on the Dan

131
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: Patrick Show and I don't know, maybe he stole it

132
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: from you.

133
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: What was the idea, You got to hire my son

134
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: to be the coaching waiting at Wazoo.

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, Well the Cougar has already did that with

136
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: Dick and Tony Bennett back in the day. Worked out

137
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: pretty good for the Kubes. Went to the Sweet sixteen

138
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: with Klay Thompson and then he took off and went

139
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: to Virginia. But anyway, new Heidel's idea was, let's let's

140
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: play all these ball games because we have all these

141
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: like the Chick fil A Kickoff Classic in Atlanta to

142
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: start the year. Let's move all the ball games to

143
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: the start of the year week one, week zero, Yeah, right, whatever,

144
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: and we just get them all out of the way

145
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: there and then the only thing that matters come December

146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: is the playoff.

147
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but then you're you're boxing out all the

148
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: small schools that like to play.

149
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: It's a reward for the previous season.

150
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: That's your attitude.

151
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: I would say, if you earn it the previous year,

152
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: then you get to go.

153
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: A few of the bulls are good previous year, as

154
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: if that means anything.

155
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: Now in college, it means a lot for the eight

156
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 4: people when they come out in.

157
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: Which is also stupid, Like why do you guys try

158
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: to make sense of this stuff? Like a lot of

159
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: the bulls will probably end up going away. The championship

160
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: games are going to end up going away, and the

161
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: playoff is going to expand, and they need more uniformity.

162
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: Having a smaller portal or one portal and making the

163
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: SEC play an extra conference game is not enough uniformity.

164
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: They need more. And it's the same thing I've been

165
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: telling you for years. The TV companies are going to

166
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: have to figure out how to get along to stabilize

167
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: the sport they need. That's really who's in charge and

168
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: governing body Petros. If they need a governing body, well,

169
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: that's another part of the committee is so stupid. And

170
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: if you're going to have a committee, you have to

171
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: have football people like Mike Riley and Chris Alt and

172
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: Ivan Mazell who's on there. That's fine. Those are the

173
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: type of people that need to be on the committee.

174
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: The second, with all due respect to athletic directors, the

175
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: second it becomes a bunch of athletic directors, which it is,

176
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: they're politicians, and politicians have no backbone. They flip with

177
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: public sentiment. They always have. That's politics. So when public

178
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: sentiment says, hey, how come you put Miami? How come

179
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: you put notre name in front of Miami all this

180
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: time when they played each other, they're like, oh my god,

181
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: you're right. That's there's no backbone there. So there doesn't

182
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: need to be administrators or politicians on this committee. If

183
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: there's going to be a committee, there needs to be

184
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: football people that have a backbone, that stick to their

185
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: story throughout the year unless something dramatic happens. Just get

186
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: rid of the reveal show, which is just a big

187
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: ESPN mutual session. That's all this is. So much of

188
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: this is just that, Oh god, and yet we are

189
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: all forced to argue about it and act like any

190
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: of this stuff is legitimate, and act like everybody's not

191
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 3: making it up as they go along.

192
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: I think we should podcast the unedited version of this conversation.

193
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: I haven't said anything that needs to be edited. People

194
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: will listen, they will flock. I haven't said anything that

195
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: needs to be edited. You said I can say that.

196
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: You can't say that on the air.

197
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: Yes you can't. No, you can't can't do it.

198
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: Day me talk to my boss man. You know what's

199
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: even dumber by the way about all this Notre Dame

200
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: talk that we're talking about Petros Petros courtesy is Sweet

201
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: James dot com. How about the fact that you Dub's

202
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: going to play in a ballgame on Saturday night and

203
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 4: they had six days the fans said, six days to

204
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: get ready for a stupid ballgame on Saturday against Boise State.

205
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: We're going down for the La Bawl. It's so Fie

206
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 4: against the Mountain West Champs. I mean, who's gonna go.

207
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: Who's gonna go to a game? Travel to a game

208
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: when you got six days to get ready?

209
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: Come on?

210
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: Probably more people then we'll go to the UCLA games

211
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: and so far you think, yeah, probably, But it's obviously

212
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 3: not about attendants anymore, which was unfortunate. But it's about

213
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: the TV slot and ESPN's inventory. You wanted to say

214
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 3: something else, didn't you? No, leave me alone? I looked

215
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: at Kate's I was like, I can't say that. He

216
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: was like, well, you probably should. I was like, dude,

217
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: I hate everybody.

218
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: I'm with you, man, I get it. I just you know,

219
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: when you're when you're a slave to the man, then

220
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 4: you gotta you know whatever. But I don't know. I mean,

221
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 4: they just Husky fans. Just saw the Dogs against UCLA

222
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: at the Rose Bowl three weeks ago. I'm saying Husky

223
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: fans that live in southern California, right, So maybe a

224
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: few folks that. And they got a large fan base

225
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: down there. A lot of schools have a lot of

226
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: fans in LA.

227
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 3: But and so the.

228
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: Boiss I know, Yeah, they might have more people down

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 4: there than we will.

230
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: They have a lot of people down here too, And

231
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: that's an interesting football team. They got their quarterback back, imagine. Yeah,

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: and they're tough upfront on both sides. They really are.

233
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Boise without the Ashton genty thing, Boise is

234
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: still what they are, which is a team built at

235
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. So that's not an easy out. Yeah,

236
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: the Dogs better be motivated in that one or they're

237
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: going to get beat.

238
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: Well, they're given ten and a half, for God's sakes,

239
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: I'd take Poise in the points.

240
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: Where's the motivation, Well, there's.

241
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: I mean, this is not like Notre Dame or you

242
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: know another school that would be greatly disappointed to miss

243
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: the CFP. They have not been in the CFP for

244
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: three weeks. You're saying Washington's not motivated.

245
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. Every team's different, Every team had its

246
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: own personality, Every team reacts to the Bullpack practices differently. Yeah,

247
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: really hard to gauge what they're going to come out

248
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: and be like. Of course, teams are more veteran laden now,

249
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 3: but the transfer portal opening up and all the uncertainty

250
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: and instability doesn't help the bull practice part of it either.

251
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: Plus six days to get ready is not exactly a

252
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: plethora of time to wrap your head around Boise, and

253
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: they're very, very complex blitz packages under defensive coordinator coach Chinander,

254
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: So good luck to everybody involved.

255
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 4: Would you hire Rick new Heisel if you were Wazoo?

256
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 3: No?

257
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: Why not?

258
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: I think I'd rather hire a Bob Chesney type.

259
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 4: Okay, like a Jason Ck kind of guy. Yeah, somebody

260
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: from Don't you think ek though could get a better

261
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: gig than Wazoo if he's leaving New Mexico?

262
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: Is he?

263
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what he eventually does? I think he could. Yeah,

264
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: I think Jason Eck has done. If it wasn't for Indiana,

265
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: Jason Eck would be the most masterful coaching job in

266
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 3: the country this year.

267
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so why not new Heisel? At Wazoo.

268
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: I'm just kid. I just think we've seen the whole

269
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: thing play itself out a few times already, haven't we.

270
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it's like I said, I worked

271
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 4: in basketball for Wazoo with Dick and Tony Bennett.

272
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Dick and Tony Bennett are not Rick and

273
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: Jerry Neuheisel. How do you know that these are total

274
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: just because their father and son, it's a totally different sport.

275
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: They're two totally different people. Dick and Tony Bennett had

276
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: been coaching. I mean, Rix hasn't coached in a long time,

277
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: right right, Yeah, Well he wants the gig. Well, good

278
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: for him. I hope he gets it when I do it.

279
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: Did you hear about this thing with Utah that they

280
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: want to partner up with a private equity.

281
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking to find a way to become the next

282
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: Texas Tech, find more money and blow everybody out of

283
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: the water with cash because you can do it. I mean,

284
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: that's the thing that makes the USC problem really egregious

285
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: is that you could say, well, one thing people don't

286
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: realize about Indiana is they have a lot of money.

287
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: And that is true. That is one thing That's why

288
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: they were able to pay Signetti when that Penn State

289
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: job opened up and extend him. But that's the one

290
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: thing about USC. USC has money, and that's the biggest problem.

291
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: They don't have an excuse to be this bad anymore.

292
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: And teams that have that much money, when you see

293
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: what some have done with the money and bringing the

294
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: right people in and having the right coach and ad

295
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: and president and all that. You look at Texas Tech

296
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: and their turnaround. Obviously Indiana, you look at a team

297
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: like USC or even Washington, you say, hey, let's get

298
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: a move on. What are you guys doing. You can

299
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: see that these people have the same resources as you

300
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: in this modern era and they're having success. What is

301
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: your problem? So that's one of the interesting things about Indiana.

302
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: And if you can turn New Mexico around, for God's sakes,

303
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: with have to. If you could turn Indian around with

304
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: a bunch of players from the Sun Belt and turn

305
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: football purgatory New Mexico into something with a bunch of

306
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: players from Idaho, what the hell is everybody else doing?

307
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: And I think that's a really good point that can

308
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: be made about this modern era.

309
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: Well, the Heisman vote is going to be announced on Saturday. Yeah,

310
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: do you have a vote, But oh no, you don't. No, No,

311
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,920

Speaker 6: you're a position coaching coordinator.

445
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, It's funny, you guys always see

446
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: me that way in terms of when I'm out on

447
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: the field of play and then when I get on

448
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: some of these calls. But in my normal life, I'm

449
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: pretty calm and cool and collected and approach every obstacle

450
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: very methodically and ensure that I am very thoughtful in

451
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: how I do things in my life and my normal

452
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: life with my family, with our administration and so on.

453
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: But when you hit that grass, I mean, it's either

454
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: in you or it's not in the I mean, I

455
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: mean that's just how that is. Once you touch that grass,

456
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: either it's in you or it's not in you. You know.

457
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: I talked to one of my mentors, Jeff Broma day,

458
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760

459
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: having the most energy? You know? And guess what, you

460
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: better have somebody under stop to bring that kind of

461
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: energy every day when I'm gonna bring it to Okay,

462
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring that energy every day to our guys

463
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,120

Speaker 4: to be calling plays down there?

468
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: Is that right?

469
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: No? I will not be calling plays. I have hired

470
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: an offensive coordinator and he's gonna call the plays for

471
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: this upcoming season. Yeah.

472
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: Mitch Dalen is that his name?

473
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: By the way.

474
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: I cannot confirm or deny that, but he should be

475
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: being released here shortly.

476
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 4: Okay, can you confirm or deny that Lance Gidry is

477
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: going to be your defensive coordinator from Western Kentucky days?

478
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: I cannot confirm with you that.

479
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: Well done, he's shart man. All right, Well, then let

480
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 4: me ask you what you haven't changed it all? By

481
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 4: the way, let me ask you a question that you

482
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 4: can answer, right, because this is a different deal now

483
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: with Oregon State. The PAC twelve is getting rebuilt, a

484
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: bunch of new teams are showing up, obviously. But you

485
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: gotta have money, man, you gotta have money to pay players.

486
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: I mean five years ago we would have been arrested

487
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 4: talking like that, right, But it's a different day and

488
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 4: age now in college football. So tell me what you

489
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 4: need to do and what you need to get done

490
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 4: down there to compete in the nil era in Corvallis.

491
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: Man, You know what, I think, it really starts with relationships.

492
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: I mean, this NIO era is still going to be

493
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 2: about relationships. It's going to be relationships with our donors.

494
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: You know, you have to have great relationships with them,

495
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: and genuine great relationships with them. So that's going to

496
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: aid in that process. But I think more importantly having

497
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: great relationships with, you know, the young men across the

498
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: country that you're going to be recruiting. And that's what

499
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: My whole career has been built on. Relationships with people,

500
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: and in some cases not all. I think when you

501
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 2: have a great relationship, you're able to get discounts, you know,

502
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: and people want to come play for you because guess what, Hey,

503
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: I want to play for him because he's about the

504
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: right things. You know, he is truly about my degree.

505
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: He really is truly about, you know, making sure that

506
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: I become a great man. Now, I didn't say we're

507
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: gonna get him for free, but you'll have a chance

508
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: to get some of these guys at discounts. I look

509
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 2: across the country and when I was at my previous place,

510
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: guess what, our relationships they wrung true and we even

511
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: were able to access some discounts on guys because we

512
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: had great relationships at Alabama. And so I think that's

513
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: going to be more important than ever hear in this

514
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: new PAC twelve.

515
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 6: Was it difficult coach to convince Oregon State to let

516
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 6: you coach at Alabama through the playoffs.

517
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: You know what, you know, those conversations weren't difficult. We

518
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: we had some uh you know, of course Alabama wanted

519
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: me to coach there, and and and and organ stations

520
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 2: wants me to be here, and so you know, we

521
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: we've kind of come to some conclusions on all that stuff,

522
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 2: and uh, hopefully we'll finalize all that here shortly.

523
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 4: I got you, well, uh, let's talk about the future

524
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 4: of your team. What is this team gonna look like

525
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 4: next year? How much work do you think really needs

526
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: to be done with this roster before you hit the

527
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 4: field in September against Houston.

528
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like we have some really good

529
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: pieces on the roster right now. When I'm going through

530
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: the film looking through our our players, especially on the

531
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, I feel like we we

532
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: we got some guys who really can play at a

533
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 2: high level. It's just you know, some of them were

534
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: banged up, you know, had some injuries on the on

535
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 2: the team, and so it prevented them from really show case,

536
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: you know, the ability of the defense. And then on

537
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball, I think we got some

538
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 2: skill position players that are gonna actually be able to

539
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: be really good players. For US. Okay, we got to

540
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: really up really the competition on this football team. We

541
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: got to push the competition level so everybody in the

542
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: building had no one should walk around here think that

543
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: they've completely solidified a starting position at any small team.

544
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: Everybody should have a mindset that they want to compete. Okay,

545
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: that's their job as players. It is to really go

546
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: out there, grind every day a right, refine what we

547
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: tell them to refine, and then compete, all right, And

548
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: our job is really to teach them, critique them, and

549
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: then we're going to demand that they do it even better.

550
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have a football team that's gonna be

551
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: tough because I'm a tough guy and I want to

552
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: have our football team tough.

553
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 4: Well, JaMarcus Sheppard with US again, former uwide receivers coach,

554
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 4: now the head coach at Oregon State. So you mentioned

555
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 4: Jeff Brown, you work with Kaitlin de Moore right obviously

556
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: at two Mike Leachs for a year at Wazoo in

557
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen. What what did you take from those guys, Like,

558
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 4: I'm I'm really curious what you took from those guys

559
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: that you will bring with you to Oregon State this year.

560
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of how we're gonna run the

561
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 2: program will be based on a lot of things that

562
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: I learned from Kaitlin de Boor and just having through

563
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: maxims and things that we really carry over and over

564
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: and over again and continue to communicate those things to

565
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: our players. And when we talk about vision and goals

566
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: of the football team, it's really going to be carried

567
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: over from him. But then, you know, coach Coach Brohm

568
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: just on a level of toughness to how he coached

569
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: you know, he even coached a quarterback tough you know,

570
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: And so that piece of it, I'm going to pull

571
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: that from from what he did as a as a

572
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: coach and bring that here to Oregon State University. And

573
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: then when you talk about Mike Leach, he was really

574
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: thoughtful about the things that he did. Now, sometimes a

575
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: little bit too thoughtful, you know, because a fleet had

576
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: an opinion on everything, But he was thoughtful about how

577
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: he was making decisions about how he was going to

578
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: make this offense flow and how the defense was going

579
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 2: to flow, and even with the special teams. So just

580
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: being mindful of all of this, so then that way

581
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: we can put our guys in the best position to

582
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: be successful.

583
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: Well, JaMarcus, is great to have you back on the
