We had an old poll question, 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.080 I don't know if it's going to be the new 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.519 poll question. MC love and give us the results from 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.080 the first hour, and do we have a new poll 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.120 question an hour two, so we flipped it. The first 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.760 hour was which team is most likely to drop out 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.159 of the Final four? Alabama ran away with it, So 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.559 now we're asking who's most likely to jump into the 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:49.800 Final four with Oklahoma State, Notre Dame Baylor, and just 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.120 for fun, I'm putting a two loss Ohio State team 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.280 in Okay eight seven seven three d P Show Email 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.800 Adre SDP at dan patrick dot com, Twitter handle a 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.680 DP show. Make sure you go to dan patrick Com 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.160 pick up all of your Christmas gifts there. I want 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.200 to make sure that when you get them buy them, 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.680 that we get them to you in time for the holidays. 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.399 All right, So we got our poll question, We got 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.520 another stat of the day or two coming up, and 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.880 we'll talk to Brian Kelly. Matt Leinert, the Heisman Trophy 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.960 winner at USC. He's got to be giddy with Lincoln 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.640 Riley showing up there. And we did wonder that awkward 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.600 situation where I think the Oklahoma assistants knew, hey, we're 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.119 on the plane with coach, we're going to USC, We're 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.520 going to Southern Cow. I don't know about those Notre 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.160 Dame assistant coaches right now. And I thought it was 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.920 really flawed by the playoff committee last night to admit, hey, 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.120 if you don't have a head coach there, we may 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.200 hold that against you. I don't think you say that publicly, 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.960 even though I think Rhees Davis brought it up. But 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.440 if you're going to let people behind the curtain there 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.760 just because Brian Kelly's not coaching Notre Dame, I can't 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.800 penalize Notre Dame twice you lost your coach. Now you 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.760 wouldn't get a chance to play in the final four 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.160 because you lost your coach it's not fair and was 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.480 surprised that the committee made that acknowledgement public last night. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.120 Winning the press conference is a new thing with college football. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.760 You know, you want to be careful before celebrating too 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.040 much because you never know how these things work out. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.959 But everybody wants to celebrate. USC got their guy, LSU 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.760 got their guy. Maybe Notre Dame gets Luke Fickle from Cincinnati. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.359 What's Oklahoma do right now? You got a lot of 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.560 kids who are decommitting, certainly from Oklahoma to go to USC. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:42.000 The potential Heisman quarterbacks Matt Corrall, Bryce Young c J 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.840 Strout all come from southern California. Lincoln Riley's ability to 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.560 recruit the area is a big plus. And we'll find 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.079 out soon enough if he can turn those five stars 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.720 players into you know, a quality football player for a 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.000 quality football program and bring USC back to the top 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.640 of the Pac twelve. You know, I think he wanted 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.639 the offer from LSU. This is what happens. Sometimes you're 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:10.040 almost calling the bluff, or a school will call your bluff. Hey, 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.240 if you want to come here, we'll pay you this. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.200 I think Lincoln Riley wanted the twelve million dollar offer 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.920 but I think he wanted to stay at Oklahoma, and 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.880 Oklahoma may have just said no, we're not going to 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.440 pay you that. Then all of a sudden agent catches 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.120 wind of it, and then maybe you're able to okay, 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.760 I got a number here, usc you involved in? Hey, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.480 you want in? You do one? Okay, and then all 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.840 of a sudden, that's it. Then it's done. So Lincoln 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.200 Riley turning it down, and then that opened the door 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.600 for LSU to say, will If you're Brian Kelly, you 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.160 might say, all right, I've got more wins than anybody 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.040 in the history of Notre Dame. I'm not winning a 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.360 national title here. I might compete, I might be in 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.480 the conversation, but we're not winning. And now I have 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.760 this opportunity at age sixty, I've done everything, this program 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.800 is in good hands. Now I have a chance to 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.640 go to LSU. I'm going to double or triple my salary, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.480 and I have a better chance of winning a national championship. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.920 Is there a classy way, a tactful way of saying goodbye? 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.080 You know, this is one of those situations where you 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.160 meet with your players, you speak for about four minutes, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.880 and it's awkward. Uncomfortable, but at least he did meet 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.960 him face to face and tell him that. I just 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.920 don't know, given today's system, if there's a tactful way 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.200 of doing this now from what I'm told Luke Fickle, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.039 you know he wants to coach Cincinnati if they're in 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.840 the final four, and will Notre Dame wait for him 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.039 if he's the number one candidate? Will they wait for 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.520 Luke Fickle? And I believe they will if they think 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.520 that they can get him. It's the recruiting part of this. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.640 That's if I'm a recruit and you're out on the road, 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.960 I want to know, Okay, who's the offensive defensive coordinator, 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.000 who's the head coach going to be? Because if you 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.279 wait for Luke Fickle, you've got to wait another month. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.760 And this is a really important time with recruiting, and 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.200 that's where it gets tricky. But Notre Dame right now, 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.280 you're not hearing candidates. And that's what made me think 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.039 Luke Fickle's probably thinking, let me coach Cincinnati. I owe 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.440 it to them, and then I'll take that job. Don't 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.280 know if that's going to happen. Don't know if he's 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.880 the number one candidate, but it feels like there's not names. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.840 From my source, he didn't have any names, and he said, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.760 that's interesting because you would think you would have names 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.719 attached immediately. I don't know if there's in house names, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.919 but I do think that there's a very short list 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.640 of names that they're considering. It notre Dame Yeampoe. Going 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.040 back to USC and what you're saying, is it possible 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.320 It appears that maybe USC was not necessarily pursuing Lincoln 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.120 Riley on their list of people, and it more was 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:02.760 presented to them as an option out of nowhere. Yes, wow, yes, yeah, yea. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.919 Sometimes you get lucky. But I think that USC was 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.280 looking at a couple of different coaches. Baylor's coach, I 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.000 was State's coach. They probably didn't think they could get 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.960 Lincoln Riley, and they probably because o'kloona was going into 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.840 the SEC and you're thinking, all right, we're not going 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.360 to get him. And then LSU was basically just you know, 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.520 trying to throw something against the wall and see if 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.200 it would stick. You know. I was told USC put 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.360 feelers out with Brian Kelly. I mean, why not take 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.960 a shot. That's what happened with LSU. With Lincoln Riley. 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.440 Oh he's interested, Oh okay, And then did he go 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.279 back to Oklahoma and say twelve million and I'll stay. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.919 And then if they said no, somebody catches win that 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.720 there's a number attached to this. Now all of a 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.640 sudden he said, no, does he really want to go 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.520 to LSU. Let's just take a chance. That's what happens. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.200 You're just you're just figuring, Okay, when when do we 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.360 make our move here? And if USC waited till the 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.000 last second, eleventh hour and went, hey, we'll pat We're 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:14.920 gonna give you this, you probably went hell, yeah, yeah, 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.880 poll You're one thing this week should teach us. Going 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.880 back a month ago when Carson Palmer said on the 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.160 wish list for USC, it was Mike Tomlin and many 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.440 other names. And never's like, no, no, you can't go 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.160 after something like that. There's no can't with when there's 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.560 twelve million dollars or fifteen million dollars, you should call everybody, 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.280 because who would have thought a month ago Brian Kelly 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.080 would be gone and Riley be gone. I know nobody, well, 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.400 Lincoln Riley I would see, but not Brian Kelly. You know, 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.640 I just thought Brian Kelly had you know, kind you 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.280 get that emeritus status where you're coaching Notre Dame. Well 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.000 maybe the novelty wore off. Yeah, maybe he just thought, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.240 I mean, I can't turn down that money. I got 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.480 a chance that I can get anybody I want into school, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.560 and you can't have that at Notre DA. Yeah. See, 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:06.560 those two coaches are making more than most NFL coaches. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.280 I wonder if these NFL coaches go, wait a minute, 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.720 I need to go back to college. That's where the 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.880 money is. Yeah. If I'm like Tomlin, I'm already thinking 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.280 that whole I'm not taking it to motion. I'm gonna 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.240 get demoted, and I know you're actually gonna get a 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.880 pay raise. Dude. Peter King from NBC Sports was on 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.280 a radio station in San Francisco ninety five point seven 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.720 the game and apparently not happy about Brian Kelly leaving 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.120 Notre Dame. Here's Peter King. I think what Brian Kelly 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:39.000 did yesterday is an absolute total disgrace. You have ninety 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.960 players and fifteen coaches to be absolutely totally all in, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.400 But how in the world do you walk out on 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.480 your team. I don't care what the money is and 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.640 they wake up one morning and see on Twitter Brian 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.480 Kelly has reached a ten year, one hundred million dollar 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.520 deal with LSU. Would you feel like you'd be kicked 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.160 right in the cross? I would, and I would be 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:07.320 angry at Brian Kelly. All right, it's easy to say it. 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.240 This happens every single year. You know, we get out 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.080 the pitchforks, you know, we get out the torches like 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:21.720 we're angry. Okay, I mean they're gonna be Okay, there's 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.559 a transfer portal. You don't want to play. It's not ideal. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.800 We know that. What's Brian? How do you do it 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.520 in a tackful way? That's the point I'm trying to 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:36.360 make here. I mean, is Lincoln Riley a trader at 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:44.160 Oklahoma students putting up signs? You get somebody from someplace normally, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.240 I don't think Notre Dame fans were like, I can't, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:51.280 but you know, we just got Brian Kelly from Cincinnati. Yeah, 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.360 well okay, so you don't take then, Okay, here's the thing. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.160 Don't take Luke Fickle because you don't want to take 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:06.400 Luke Fickle from Cincinnati. Eight right, mine, It's it's a 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:12.600 flawed system. We know that, but it's everybody is involved 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.680 in this, and everybody knows. Are we surprised, Yes? Should 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.480 we be surprised? No? We should not be. Said there's 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.199 no move right now. If you said today Urban Myer's 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.320 taken the job, he's going to Notre Dame, I go 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.040 all right. If you said John Harbaugh's leaving the Ravens, 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.960 he's gonna coach Notre Dame, I go all right. Like, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:36.839 coaches move and they have a small window to move. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.640 Do I like it? No? But it's the system. Until 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.680 college football changes the system, it's going to continue this way. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:55.760 And it's it's all clandestine, surreptitiously. It's about the money. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.520 I mean. But if I'm Brian Kelly, you did your job? 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:07.240 Is it? You know? Is it? It's awkward, it's uncomfortable. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.079 It's unfair that these kids are ready to play maybe 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.040 in the final four maybe, And now you hear the 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:19.679 playoff committee saying, oh, don't have their coach. You can't 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:24.320 penalize Notre Dame twice. It's embarrassing. Yeah. See, people just 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.920 seem to want their pound to flesh with this one, 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.920 and people who really have no connection to it, whatsoever, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.720 are like almost morally outraged over how disgusting of an 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.720 act this is when it's a little heavy handed. Okay, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.920 but are they as outraged that Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma? 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.880 And the answers no, because we don't hold that in 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.160 the same regard as we do Notre Dame, Like, how 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.360 could you leave Notre Dame? Yeah? See well, I think 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.160 part of it too is like you would think that 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.800 Brian Kelly is closer to retiring than signing a ten 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.120 year deal. Yeah, you would think that he's like, I 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:00.920 don't know, I got like three four more years left, 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.680 and then I don't know, somebody else will take over 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.120 and say instead you're thinking three or four more years, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.160 and then all of a sudden you get a huge 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.920 contract at another school. That's what surprised me. It was 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:17.679 ten years now five years, okay, ten years. It's an eternity, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.920 you know, Polly, I love Peter King, but for the 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.640 sports media to jab people from taking bigger jobs for 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.200 him one and it's very hypocritical. You know. Nate Burlson 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.800 was great on the Good Morning Football. He got tripled 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.760 his salary to go to CBS Mornings Good he left, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.560 He left the next day. You know, Peter left places. Uh, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.720 Mike Greenberg got a huge race and left his radio 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.640 show and it didn't go well. We in the sports media, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.040 when you're offered three times, you're salary comes your salary, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.040 it doesn't exit. The exits aren't perfect. You know he 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.920 got it was an offer he couldn't turn down, so 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.240 he couldn't refuse. And you know this, but it'll happen 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.320 again next year, and then this school will take somebody 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.079 from another school, and then that school take somebody from 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.800 another school. That's what it is. It's a game of 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.160 leap frog Brad and North Carolina. Hi, Brad, what's on 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:11.400 your mind today? Hey? DP, So, with the a SEC 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.720 title game having no meaning on the college football playoff, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.359 have a little bit of a tongue in cheek proposal 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.880 that whoever coach winsback game should automatically get the Notre 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.679 Dame job. And hear me out on this. Dave Clawson 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.920 has done a fantastic job at wake Forest. It's academically 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.680 rigorous school, smallest d one school I believe in the country. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.839 And Pat Narts he has done a great job at pitt. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.240 I think both of them are sneaky get candidates at 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:41.920 the job, and I'd like to get him out of 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.960 the ACC. All right, well, thank you, Brad. I like 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.160 Brad and North Carolina fan. Let's get him out of 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.839 the ACC. But also like I would tune in to 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.800 the a SEC title game if the winning coach got 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:58.040 the Notre Dame job. All right, that's interesting, Jack in Michigan. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.600 Then we'll take a break, make way for Brian Kelly. Hey, Jack, 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.719 he then, I think what these coaches have done is 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.880 just slipped the system on its head. Back in the 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.600 old days, it was the recruit that would be sitting 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.840 at the table with three or four hats in front 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.120 of them, and they'd have all the suspense about which 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.199 hat is he going to put on, and each fumble 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.960 and he grabbed one and then another to made for 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.400 TV special. I think what we should have is these 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:30.360 coaches have about the top fifty recruits sit there and 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.080 have the coach fumble around with the three or four 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:39.600 hats and say, who would like to follow me to USC? Hey, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.440 I'm all for made for TV events. Thank you, Jack. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.560 Let's take a break. We'll talk to the new LSU 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.240 head coach, Brian Kelly, He's been coming on the show 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.160 for over a decade now and I appreciate I think 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.840 this is his first national interview. But we'll take a break. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.680 We'll come back with Brian Kelly, more of your phone calls, 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.680 and Matt Leiner will join us.

He is Brian Kelly, 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.560 the LSU head coach, joining us on the program. Good morning, coach. Congratulations, 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:26.200 how do you feel. I'm a little tired right now, 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.119 but I've got chicory in my coffee down here in 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.520 Louisiana and it tastes really good. Well, you got a 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.440 lot to get used to down there food wise, and 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.240 you're not a poe boy after the contract details were 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.320 released there, so congratulations on that. What does LSU give 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.160 you that Notre Dame could not give you anymore? Well, 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.560 I don't know if it wasn't it really didn't have 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.320 anything to do with But Notre Dame couldn't give me 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.520 as much as another opportunity, another challenge to come down 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.359 in the sect, you know, to play in you know, 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:05.480 obviously arguably the best conference in the country, um and 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.600 and the resources here are incredible, so you know, I 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.959 just think another another opportunity one where um, you're going 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.240 to be challenged weekend and week out amongst the best. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.159 And I was at that time in my career that 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.080 I was I was looking for that new challenge, Dan, 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.960 and UM, I'm really excited. My family is excited. We 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.160 haven't been in this part of the country and we're 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.320 looking forward to it. Our first day in Louisiana was 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.720 yesterday and it's it's pretty exciting. When did you start 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:42.520 looking for that next challenge? I don't think you you know, 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.479 you're so focused on your team. You know, um that 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.680 that my focus was on my guy at Notre Dame. 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:54.159 So UM, I don't know that there was ever a 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.639 you know, wandering eye at all. Um. But you know, 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:03.000 we're curious. We're coaches, right, We're always looking for, you know, 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.760 that that next challenge. And you know, when the season 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:11.000 was over and and you know, things started to move quickly, 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:16.160 this opportunity presented itself. And um, that's why we're here 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.640 where we are right now. All right, help me out 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.640 with this. Just understanding that, you know, there's recruiting limitations 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:28.680 with Notre Dame admissions, m you know, school discipline, those 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.880 kind of things. Rick new Heisl was with this last hour, 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.120 and he said, you know, those are hurdles at Notre Dame. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.879 With LSU, you don't have those hurdles. How important is 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.840 that that you can go after players and not sit 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:42.679 there and wait to see if somebody's going to go. 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:47.840 We'll give you the green light to get somebody in. Well, 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.359 I think each school has distinctions, right, I mean, the 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.600 distinctions at Notre Dame are real, and they are they 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:58.360 are incredible. But I think that LSU has distinctions as 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:03.000 well in terms of it's geographical base, its ability to recruit. Um. 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.280 You know the state of Louisiana, as I mentioned to 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:11.399 you before, you know the facilities here for football. UM. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.280 So you know, I don't think it's that you know, 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.120 one's you know, the negative over the positive. As much 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.840 as you know we did, we did quite well obviously 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.920 at Notre Dame. UM. You know, giving given who Notre 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.240 Dame is and the distinctions Notre Dame had, we had 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.440 five consecutive ten plus winning seasons, only Alabama and Notre 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:37.080 Dame did that, and so those distinctions were still ones 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:42.040 that were easily accomplished. Um. That team is so good. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.000 I believe that they can be in the College football 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.040 players three out of the last four years here at LSU. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:52.040 He's got other distinctions and I mentioned of geographics, facilities, 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.160 incredible fan base, National championship just a couple of years ago, 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.520 so all those things are real here too as well. 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:05.080 Is there a tactful way to say goodbye? Never? It's 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:09.320 it's it's always difficult because of you know, things get 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.919 leaked and they get out to the media before you 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.320 can actually get in front of your guys. I did 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:16.240 the best I could. I was on the road recruiting 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.399 and things gotten you out to the media before. But 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.480 I was able to send a note to my guys 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.879 and then get in front of them yesterday at seven 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:29.600 am and tell them I loved them. I love my guys, 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:35.000 and they know I love them, and I think they're 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:36.960 one of the best four teams in the country and 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.439 they deserved to play in college football playoffs. Yeah. I 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.440 wondered how important it was to be the all time 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.080 leader in victories at Notre Dame, which you did this season, 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.920 and then at age sixty, you know, you might look 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.840 around and go, I've done. I've left Notre Dame in 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.400 good hands, you know, twelve years and where we are 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.800 and who we are and what we are that I 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:02.440 can be selfish and do something for myself. How how 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:07.040 accurate is that? Well, I can tell you that the 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.720 charge that I had was to modernize Notre Dame football, 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.040 bring it back to relevance and consistency as one of 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.560 the top programs in the country. And we check all 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.320 those boxes. I was never going to Notre Dame to 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.480 be the all time winning as coach. That kind of 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:25.280 happened along the way. You know, our process was about 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.760 you know, graduating champions, and we did that, and you know, 0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:33.200 the outcomes were what they were, but that was never 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.920 my intent. It was to modernize college the football program, 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:42.040 which we did with infrastructure and improvements. Um. It was 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.960 certainly about consistency in performance and in graduating you know, 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.840 our football players, and all of those things were accomplished. 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.600 And you know, I didn't just wake up one day 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:55.639 and say, oh, I've done all this and kind of 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.320 you know, said all right, it's time to move on. 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:02.360 But I saw this as an credible opportunity and excited 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:06.160 about the next chapter. He's LSU head coach Brian Kelly. 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:12.240 When's the first time LSU reached out to your representative. Uh, 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:19.800 you know, my my my agent, UM handles all that stuff. 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:22.159 And so I couldn't tell you exactly, Dan, because he 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.840 doesn't he doesn't keep being the loop on all these things. 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.600 I think he kind of calls me when he thinks 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:29.800
