We're getting ready for our Sunday 68 00:02:59,588 --> 00:03:02,148 Speaker 7: broadcast and the Insiders on Super Bowl Sunday. We do 69 00:03:02,228 --> 00:03:06,068 Speaker 7: a bunch of non Super Bowl storylines storylines currently, and 70 00:03:06,108 --> 00:03:07,308 Speaker 7: one of the ones that I was going to do 71 00:03:07,348 --> 00:03:09,908 Speaker 7: was Kyler Murray and how disappointed the Cardinals were with 72 00:03:09,948 --> 00:03:12,708 Speaker 7: his leadership dating back to the wild card game that 73 00:03:12,748 --> 00:03:13,508 Speaker 7: had just happened. 74 00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:15,548 Speaker 5: He did not play well. Cardinal didn't play well. 75 00:03:15,708 --> 00:03:17,668 Speaker 7: Matter of fact, late in the game, right here, I 76 00:03:17,668 --> 00:03:19,548 Speaker 7: believe this is the moment he's on the sideline, the 77 00:03:19,588 --> 00:03:22,748 Speaker 7: game is pretty much over. They were expecting him to 78 00:03:22,748 --> 00:03:24,788 Speaker 7: go back on the field, and he's like, nope, I'm done. 79 00:03:24,828 --> 00:03:27,588 Speaker 5: I'm not going back in. And it was Colt. 80 00:03:27,428 --> 00:03:29,068 Speaker 7: McCoy, I believe, who had to go run in real 81 00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:31,468 Speaker 7: quick and finish the game. And so I'm getting ready 82 00:03:31,468 --> 00:03:33,868 Speaker 7: to report all this stuff and I'm nervous. I'm like, 83 00:03:33,948 --> 00:03:35,548 Speaker 7: because this is not going to come off well for 84 00:03:35,628 --> 00:03:36,228 Speaker 7: Kyler Murray. 85 00:03:36,228 --> 00:03:37,588 Speaker 5: And how do I do this? And I do it 86 00:03:37,628 --> 00:03:39,548 Speaker 5: balanced and I do it fairly, but I. 87 00:03:39,468 --> 00:03:41,308 Speaker 7: Know what I've got is good information. And we wound 88 00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,268 Speaker 7: up seeing it in the contract a couple of months later. 89 00:03:43,308 --> 00:03:44,908 Speaker 7: The way that they structured it with the video games 90 00:03:44,948 --> 00:03:47,668 Speaker 7: and stuff like that, and the study habits, and before 91 00:03:47,708 --> 00:03:49,988 Speaker 7: I can do it, Chris Mortenson goes on ESPN and 92 00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,828 Speaker 7: absolutely annihilates Kyler Murray. 93 00:03:53,068 --> 00:03:55,468 Speaker 5: Rip mort love more but listen. 94 00:03:55,468 --> 00:03:57,348 Speaker 7: It made me like, hey, my information's great, but he 95 00:03:57,428 --> 00:03:59,028 Speaker 7: left a smoldering hole. 96 00:03:58,828 --> 00:04:00,228 Speaker 5: Where Kyler Murray used to be. 97 00:04:00,428 --> 00:04:02,468 Speaker 7: And I was like, well, now my report's gonna look 98 00:04:02,468 --> 00:04:05,788 Speaker 7: like I'm propping the guy up at this point. Since 99 00:04:05,828 --> 00:04:07,868 Speaker 7: that moment, though, Kyler Murray's come a long way, and 100 00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:10,268 Speaker 7: Kyler Murray potentially could still come a long way. 101 00:04:10,308 --> 00:04:11,508 Speaker 3: He's still a young man. 102 00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:13,588 Speaker 7: And so that's why I'm looking at Murray to say, 103 00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:16,028 Speaker 7: here's who he was years ago, here's who he is now, 104 00:04:16,068 --> 00:04:17,228 Speaker 7: and here's who he can be. 105 00:04:17,348 --> 00:04:18,948 Speaker 5: That's the redemption to what I'm signing up for. 106 00:04:19,068 --> 00:04:22,188 Speaker 8: Will Yeah, I'm excited for for Kylin Murrays. And I 107 00:04:22,188 --> 00:04:24,188 Speaker 8: look at first of all, I look at both quarterbacks, 108 00:04:24,228 --> 00:04:27,428 Speaker 8: and both of them had where there where two coaches 109 00:04:27,428 --> 00:04:29,868 Speaker 8: got fired, right, You had Brian Flores and you had 110 00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:32,508 Speaker 8: Mike mcgang get fired. And then and then all of 111 00:04:32,508 --> 00:04:35,548 Speaker 8: a sudden you look at the Cardinals. Cliff Kingsbury got fired, 112 00:04:35,868 --> 00:04:38,428 Speaker 8: right and Agannon just got fired. So they both had 113 00:04:38,468 --> 00:04:40,988 Speaker 8: that in common as well. But for Kylin Murray. At 114 00:04:40,988 --> 00:04:43,868 Speaker 8: one point, man, I literally thought he was gonna win 115 00:04:43,908 --> 00:04:46,108 Speaker 8: the MVP. You know, he was, he was in the 116 00:04:46,188 --> 00:04:48,468 Speaker 8: running one year, but then the following year, I think 117 00:04:48,468 --> 00:04:50,148 Speaker 8: I put on a tweet somewhere I'm like, Okay, this 118 00:04:50,268 --> 00:04:52,908 Speaker 8: there's no question this season, coming into next year, he's 119 00:04:52,908 --> 00:04:55,188 Speaker 8: going to win the MVP, just because I believe he's 120 00:04:55,348 --> 00:04:58,228 Speaker 8: that electric is playmaking it dynamic ability. 121 00:04:58,268 --> 00:05:00,948 Speaker 3: But right there is a there is a narrative. 122 00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:02,788 Speaker 8: About is he is he able to be coached? 123 00:05:02,828 --> 00:05:02,948 Speaker 4: Right? 124 00:05:02,988 --> 00:05:04,308 Speaker 3: Can he receive information? 125 00:05:04,468 --> 00:05:06,508 Speaker 8: Does he have the proper leadership he's going to hold 126 00:05:06,508 --> 00:05:08,028 Speaker 8: his guys account of But can he do all these 127 00:05:08,028 --> 00:05:11,548 Speaker 8: things you know, to help lead a team.

Man Titel, What have. 177 00:07:13,068 --> 00:07:13,348 Speaker 9: You been do? 178 00:07:13,828 --> 00:07:16,508 Speaker 4: Guys? I'm going to go with Max Crosby on this one. 179 00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:17,868 Speaker 6: And the reason why I'm going to go with Max 180 00:07:17,908 --> 00:07:20,508 Speaker 6: Crosby is because obviously I am a defensive player. I 181 00:07:20,588 --> 00:07:24,188 Speaker 6: do favorite defensive dominance in that way. But then also 182 00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:27,828 Speaker 6: there was a time that Raiders also had an All 183 00:07:27,908 --> 00:07:31,028 Speaker 6: Pro rusher and his name was Khalil Mack and they 184 00:07:31,068 --> 00:07:33,868 Speaker 6: traded him to the Bears in twenty eighteen, and after 185 00:07:33,908 --> 00:07:35,548 Speaker 6: that the Raiders went four and twelve and then the 186 00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:37,948 Speaker 6: very following year had thirteen total sacks just for us 187 00:07:37,948 --> 00:07:38,388 Speaker 6: in the NFL. 188 00:07:38,468 --> 00:07:40,908 Speaker 4: Khalil went on to play for the Bears they wanted. 189 00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:43,228 Speaker 6: NFC North had the best scoring defense in the NFL 190 00:07:43,268 --> 00:07:46,588 Speaker 6: with Vic Fangio as a defensive coordinator. He had twelve 191 00:07:46,588 --> 00:07:48,868 Speaker 6: and a half sacks himself, was AP first team All 192 00:07:48,908 --> 00:07:50,628 Speaker 6: Pro and he was second and Defensive Player of the 193 00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:53,628 Speaker 6: Year boding. I look at Max Crosby and he's that 194 00:07:53,668 --> 00:07:57,988 Speaker 6: same dynamic player. He's a dynamic rusher that's in the 195 00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:00,748 Speaker 6: silver helmet, that plays the game the right way. And 196 00:08:00,828 --> 00:08:04,548 Speaker 6: I would put everything in Max Crosby, not only as 197 00:08:04,548 --> 00:08:07,348 Speaker 6: a football player, Mike g but then also understanding the 198 00:08:07,388 --> 00:08:09,148 Speaker 6: impact that he can have on the rest of my 199 00:08:09,268 --> 00:08:10,548 Speaker 6: defense in the way that he plays. 200 00:08:10,548 --> 00:08:12,148 Speaker 4: So I'm going Max Calbrey. 201 00:08:12,748 --> 00:08:14,548 Speaker 5: If I bid close enough, Kyle, Do I get both 202 00:08:14,548 --> 00:08:15,348 Speaker 5: showcases here? 203 00:08:15,468 --> 00:08:18,388 Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be awesome, man, when they used to do that. 204 00:08:18,388 --> 00:08:21,508 Speaker 7: That's how you impact the roster. I'll go AJ Brown here. 205 00:08:21,548 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 7: I'm probably too close to this one. Having covered the 206 00:08:24,228 --> 00:08:29,828 Speaker 7: Eagles extremely closely. Look, there's the Jalen Hurts AJ Brown dynamic. 207 00:08:29,868 --> 00:08:31,308 Speaker 5: We all know about it. We all know it's been 208 00:08:31,308 --> 00:08:34,988 Speaker 5: alluded to. We know who the. 209 00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:37,668 Speaker 7: Fact that both I've heard both sides of this, right, 210 00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:40,468 Speaker 7: I've heard the Jalen side, I've heard the AJ side. 211 00:08:41,068 --> 00:08:44,908 Speaker 7: I understand both, and I understand why both feel like 212 00:08:44,948 --> 00:08:47,228 Speaker 7: they have put out the effort to make this thing work. 213 00:08:47,948 --> 00:08:50,388 Speaker 7: I just don't know that it can for another season now. 214 00:08:50,508 --> 00:08:52,028 Speaker 7: Howie Roseman is going to sit there and say, if 215 00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:55,148 Speaker 7: I don't get that value, I'm gonna find the best 216 00:08:55,148 --> 00:08:56,348 Speaker 7: way to possibly make this work. 217 00:08:56,548 --> 00:08:57,588 Speaker 5: And because I'm not just. 218 00:08:57,548 --> 00:09:01,508 Speaker 7: Trading away a great player for what he's not worth. 219 00:09:01,828 --> 00:09:06,228 Speaker 7: And AJ Brown this past season, his play didn't reflect 220 00:09:06,268 --> 00:09:09,228 Speaker 7: what he's capable of because of all that other extracurricular 221 00:09:09,268 --> 00:09:09,708 Speaker 7: stuff that. 222 00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:11,948 Speaker 5: Was happening away from the football field. 223 00:09:12,228 --> 00:09:14,828 Speaker 7: I really believe that as he if he gets another chance, 224 00:09:14,868 --> 00:09:18,068 Speaker 7: if he gets rejuvenated elsewhere, I think you'll see him. Fully, 225 00:09:18,748 --> 00:09:21,548 Speaker 7: I don't think people fully understand who Aj Brown is 226 00:09:21,548 --> 00:09:23,468 Speaker 7: as a person because you may see it from afar 227 00:09:23,508 --> 00:09:26,628 Speaker 7: and you think, well, eva wide receiver. There they go again, 228 00:09:27,228 --> 00:09:30,348 Speaker 7: stereotype in that position. There's a lot more to Aj 229 00:09:30,428 --> 00:09:32,628 Speaker 7: Brown that meets the eye, and there's a lot more 230 00:09:32,628 --> 00:09:36,028 Speaker 7: that he means to that organization from a personal standpoint, 231 00:09:36,788 --> 00:09:39,588 Speaker 7: human to human inside that organization. If I'm a if 232 00:09:39,628 --> 00:09:41,868 Speaker 7: I'm another team and I get Aj Brown, I'm appreciating 233 00:09:41,868 --> 00:09:43,548 Speaker 7: what he's doing for me will on the field and 234 00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:44,148 Speaker 7: off the field. 235 00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:48,508 Speaker 8: Yeah, as a defender, yeah, I would clearly go pass rusher. 236 00:09:48,548 --> 00:09:50,788 Speaker 8: But in this case, Mike ge I agree with you 237 00:09:50,828 --> 00:09:52,588 Speaker 8: in terms of AJ Brown. I mean, I think the 238 00:09:52,628 --> 00:09:55,948 Speaker 8: fact that the egos have been winning, you know, as 239 00:09:55,948 --> 00:09:59,308 Speaker 8: in recent years, like everything that happens in that place 240 00:09:59,348 --> 00:10:02,108 Speaker 8: has been magnified. So of course you're gonna any little 241 00:10:02,148 --> 00:10:04,548 Speaker 8: thing that they do anything. I know, the fact he 242 00:10:04,748 --> 00:10:06,388 Speaker 8: read a book on the sideline, you know, that's just 243 00:10:06,428 --> 00:10:08,948 Speaker 8: what he does. But it's blowing out out a way for abortion. 244 00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:11,908 Speaker 8: Because of is the Philadelphia Eagles, who you know also 245 00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:14,988 Speaker 8: recent champions as well too, So he is a true 246 00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:17,948 Speaker 8: number one receiver. He is an outside, big body threat 247 00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:23,348 Speaker 8: playmaker and trust me, all all thirty two teams I 248 00:10:23,348 --> 00:10:25,468 Speaker 8: should want to have this guy on their team. So 249 00:10:25,508 --> 00:10:27,548 Speaker 8: for me, if the price is right, man give me 250 00:10:27,588 --> 00:10:29,828 Speaker 8: that big body receiver on the outside man to go 251 00:10:29,948 --> 00:10:30,548 Speaker 8: make plays. 252 00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,908 Speaker 3: And he's just dynamic. So for me is AJ Brown. 253 00:10:33,988 --> 00:10:36,668 Speaker 2: They're both great players, both different positions. But the one 254 00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:38,948 Speaker 2: thing I think that might distinguish Max Crosby is kind 255 00:10:38,948 --> 00:10:40,988 Speaker 2: of an intangible thing over AJ Brown is that Max 256 00:10:41,028 --> 00:10:44,668 Speaker 2: Crosby isn't just hungry, he's famished. AJ Brown has been 257 00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:47,148 Speaker 2: to the mountaintops. AJ Brown was winning playoff games with 258 00:10:47,148 --> 00:10:50,068 Speaker 2: the Titans. AJ Brown's been in Super Bowls multiple with 259 00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:53,268 Speaker 2: the Eagles. Max Krosby has never even had a crust 260 00:10:53,308 --> 00:10:56,708 Speaker 2: of bread. He's just sitting there with water and trying 261 00:10:56,748 --> 00:10:59,228 Speaker 2: to just live and he's never had any success. I 262 00:10:59,228 --> 00:11:01,468 Speaker 2: think he really wants it. I think he's a legacy guy. 263 00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:02,548 Speaker 2: I think he wants to be one of the all 264 00:11:02,548 --> 00:11:05,028 Speaker 2: time greats, and he's not going to be doing it 265 00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:08,068 Speaker 2: going in four and five win seasons and you start 266 00:11:08,148 --> 00:11:10,188 Speaker 2: to see him with contenders and I feel like there 267 00:11:10,268 --> 00:11:13,148 Speaker 2: is no chance he shows up and is overrated and 268 00:11:13,268 --> 00:11:16,828 Speaker 2: underwhelming I just I want someone who is so so hungry, 269 00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:19,828 Speaker 2: who has never had anything to sink his teeth into collectively, 270 00:11:20,108 --> 00:11:22,268 Speaker 2: and I think that's Max Crosby. AJ is really still 271 00:11:22,268 --> 00:11:24,308 Speaker 2: great and it was very productive last year. Amidst all 272 00:11:24,308 --> 00:11:26,988 Speaker 2: the weirdness. I go with Max Crosby last topic. Though 273 00:11:26,988 --> 00:11:30,708 Speaker 2: Guys Award season and the Oscars are impending, this is 274 00:11:30,708 --> 00:11:33,228 Speaker 2: a very very good category in question. I've seen it 275 00:11:33,548 --> 00:11:37,148 Speaker 2: Leonardo DiCaprio, one Battle after another, pt Anderson interesting movie. 276 00:11:37,148 --> 00:11:39,028 Speaker 2: I enjoyed it a lot, especially on the second watch 277 00:11:39,628 --> 00:11:42,988 Speaker 2: The Christmas Adventures Club Ridiculous and then Brad Pitt's F 278 00:11:43,068 --> 00:11:45,828 Speaker 2: one F one one bauth Another are both up for 279 00:11:45,948 --> 00:11:46,668 Speaker 2: Best Picture. 280 00:11:47,068 --> 00:11:48,188 Speaker 3: So here's our question. 281 00:11:49,508 --> 00:11:52,388 Speaker 2: You can only watch one of their filmographies for the 282 00:11:52,388 --> 00:11:54,428 Speaker 2: rest of your life. For the rest of your life, 283 00:11:54,428 --> 00:11:57,748 Speaker 2: you can watch Brad Pitt movies, or you can watch 284 00:11:57,828 --> 00:12:02,308 Speaker 2: Leo DiCaprio movies. You cannot watch the others, only them. 285 00:12:02,548 --> 00:12:05,188 Speaker 2: Are you choosing the pit films, Mike? Are you choosing 286 00:12:05,188 --> 00:12:05,948 Speaker 2: the Leo films? 287 00:12:05,948 --> 00:12:06,108 Speaker 4: Well? 288 00:12:06,148 --> 00:12:07,868 Speaker 7: Can we get the overlap of when they were in 289 00:12:07,908 --> 00:12:09,308 Speaker 7: the movie or that one's got to be thrown out? 290 00:12:09,348 --> 00:12:10,948 Speaker 2: You're talking about once more a time in Hollywood. We 291 00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:11,868 Speaker 2: are gonna eliminate that. 292 00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:13,828 Speaker 5: You can't watch it, can't watch it, can't watch it. Okay, 293 00:12:13,828 --> 00:12:15,388 Speaker 5: that's out. I'm going Pitt. 294 00:12:15,628 --> 00:12:18,628 Speaker 7: Pitt's more watchable, pitch, more fun, pits, more popcorn. 295 00:12:19,148 --> 00:12:19,748 Speaker 5: At the theater. 296 00:12:19,828 --> 00:12:22,148 Speaker 7: You're getting some fun movies in there. You're getting fight 297 00:12:22,228 --> 00:12:26,188 Speaker 7: Club in there, you are getting inglorious bastards and there, 298 00:12:26,188 --> 00:12:29,388 Speaker 7: I mean you're getting you're getting uh well, DiCaprio.

But but Pitt just 302 00:12:38,028 --> 00:12:39,988 Speaker 7: seems to take it to another level and make it 303 00:12:40,028 --> 00:12:43,788 Speaker 7: more fun and adding these quirks to his characters. Uh, certainly, 304 00:12:43,788 --> 00:12:46,348 Speaker 7: there you go fight Club as well. The Ocean's eleven 305 00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:48,148 Speaker 7: when he was eating that was him apparently just started 306 00:12:48,188 --> 00:12:50,108 Speaker 7: picking up food during so this thing was like he 307 00:12:50,188 --> 00:12:53,068 Speaker 7: was always gonna eat through all these things.

And one of the most gangster 336 00:13:58,948 --> 00:14:00,828 Speaker 6: scenes is when that messenger boy goes death. 337 00:14:00,868 --> 00:14:03,428 Speaker 4: That's alone in your fighting.

First. 443 00:18:31,788 --> 00:18:34,868 Speaker 6: I know that coach Lou Holts meant a lot to you. 444 00:18:34,948 --> 00:18:36,828 Speaker 6: He was a mentor for you. What are some of 445 00:18:36,868 --> 00:18:39,428 Speaker 6: the things that he taught you that helped you in 446 00:18:39,508 --> 00:18:41,508 Speaker 6: your transition as a head coach at the University of 447 00:18:41,548 --> 00:18:41,988 Speaker 6: Notre Dame. 448 00:18:42,908 --> 00:18:44,908 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I think that a kid growing up 449 00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:49,228 Speaker 10: in Ohio like I was, that that you knew about 450 00:18:49,348 --> 00:18:50,148 Speaker 10: Notre Dame football. 451 00:18:50,188 --> 00:18:52,068 Speaker 9: When you thought about Notre Dame football, you think of 452 00:18:52,148 --> 00:18:52,668 Speaker 9: Lou Holts. 453 00:18:52,828 --> 00:18:58,068 Speaker 10: And when I became the head coach here, without hesitation, 454 00:18:58,188 --> 00:19:02,948 Speaker 10: he reached out and was just a mentor offered support. 455 00:19:03,148 --> 00:19:04,628 Speaker 10: He knew what it was like to say, sit in 456 00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:07,628 Speaker 10: the chair that I sit in every day. And you 457 00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:11,228 Speaker 10: know the thing I remember about you know, coach holds it. 458 00:19:11,668 --> 00:19:14,708 Speaker 10: He's got so much wisdom, but he would always reach 459 00:19:14,748 --> 00:19:18,548 Speaker 10: out during tough times. He was intentional about reaching out 460 00:19:18,548 --> 00:19:22,708 Speaker 10: after every loss and and never want anything but just 461 00:19:22,748 --> 00:19:25,628 Speaker 10: to offer his support. And so he means so much 462 00:19:25,628 --> 00:19:28,948 Speaker 10: to this university, to this football program, and to me personally. 463 00:19:29,068 --> 00:19:30,428 Speaker 9: And uh, he'll be missed. 464 00:19:32,028 --> 00:19:33,588 Speaker 2: I love that coach, and I love you coming on 465 00:19:33,708 --> 00:19:36,068 Speaker 2: talking about it. I mentioned this early in the show 466 00:19:36,068 --> 00:19:37,908 Speaker 2: before he came out. I grew up a Notre Damen 467 00:19:37,948 --> 00:19:40,428 Speaker 2: fan and I looked at Coach Holts as this just 468 00:19:40,708 --> 00:19:43,188 Speaker 2: magical figure. It was so interesting as a kid watched 469 00:19:43,268 --> 00:19:45,228 Speaker 2: him because he was this tiny little man with this 470 00:19:45,348 --> 00:19:49,788 Speaker 2: unusual voice, and he's commanding Jerome Bettis and Chris Zorich 471 00:19:49,868 --> 00:19:53,348 Speaker 2: and Tim Brown. He's just legends. What was it about 472 00:19:53,428 --> 00:19:56,748 Speaker 2: him that made him so special as a coach. 473 00:19:56,548 --> 00:19:57,188 Speaker 4: On game day? 474 00:19:57,228 --> 00:19:59,628 Speaker 2: And his inability to connect with players of that caliber. 475 00:20:00,548 --> 00:20:05,308 Speaker 10: Yeah, he he had a unique ability to up relationships 476 00:20:05,308 --> 00:20:06,188 Speaker 10: with those guys. 477 00:20:06,228 --> 00:20:08,748 Speaker 9: So when Coach Holts told you to do. 478 00:20:08,668 --> 00:20:11,668 Speaker 10: Something, you did it, you know, and a man not 479 00:20:11,788 --> 00:20:14,628 Speaker 10: a huge stature, but there is a lot of fear 480 00:20:15,228 --> 00:20:17,948 Speaker 10: that he instilled in some of those players that he coaches. 481 00:20:17,948 --> 00:20:20,748 Speaker 10: Because I've gotten to know a lot of his former players, 482 00:20:20,748 --> 00:20:23,348 Speaker 10: and they all say the same thing, like, when Coach 483 00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:25,028 Speaker 10: Holt said something, you did it. 484 00:20:25,068 --> 00:20:27,348 Speaker 9: There was no questions, yep, being asked. 485 00:20:27,348 --> 00:20:30,388 Speaker 10: And so to me, that to reflects somebody that earned 486 00:20:30,388 --> 00:20:33,468 Speaker 10: the trust of his players, right, and that the players 487 00:20:33,508 --> 00:20:37,988 Speaker 10: trust and respected him. And so no matter his physical stature, 488 00:20:38,348 --> 00:20:40,988 Speaker 10: when he told you to do something, you trusted that 489 00:20:40,988 --> 00:20:43,068 Speaker 10: that's what was best for you and you were going. 490 00:20:43,068 --> 00:20:43,508 Speaker 9: To do it. 491 00:20:43,628 --> 00:20:45,668 Speaker 7: No names in the back of the jerseys, tapping the 492 00:20:45,988 --> 00:20:47,948 Speaker 7: right play like a champion sign on the way to 493 00:20:47,988 --> 00:20:51,188 Speaker 7: the field. So many things that Lou Holtz helped to 494 00:20:51,388 --> 00:20:53,948 Speaker 7: embody as the head coach of Notre Dame. What's the 495 00:20:54,028 --> 00:20:57,148 Speaker 7: impact from his time there that you still see on 496 00:20:57,188 --> 00:20:57,988 Speaker 7: the program today? 497 00:20:59,228 --> 00:21:02,588 Speaker 10: You know, I think, listen, when you think of his career, 498 00:21:02,788 --> 00:21:08,588 Speaker 10: you think of greatness, think of excellence. I still hear 499 00:21:09,308 --> 00:21:12,388 Speaker 10: the year of nineteen eighty eight, the National championship year, 500 00:21:13,388 --> 00:21:17,548 Speaker 10: every day around here. But I think you think about 501 00:21:17,548 --> 00:21:20,188 Speaker 10: his teams as a whole, his tenure as a whole 502 00:21:20,228 --> 00:21:23,188 Speaker 10: at Notre Dame, the impact he made on this university, 503 00:21:23,228 --> 00:21:26,948 Speaker 10: Like everybody loved Coach Holds and everybody talks about him 504 00:21:26,988 --> 00:21:30,068 Speaker 10: in a way that as a current head coach, you say, 505 00:21:30,108 --> 00:21:32,348 Speaker 10: you know what, when I'm done coaching or when my 506 00:21:32,428 --> 00:21:34,708 Speaker 10: time is up, I hope I can make an impact 507 00:21:34,748 --> 00:21:37,428 Speaker 10: the way Coach Holts did at Notre Dame, but often 508 00:21:37,828 --> 00:21:42,828 Speaker 10: in college football. So his legacy will live on and 509 00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:45,268 Speaker 10: his impact will still be felt here in South Bend. 510 00:21:46,708 --> 00:21:48,788 Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned in coaching, it's an easy segue to 511 00:21:48,828 --> 00:21:51,028 Speaker 2: the current state of Irish football. There is this thing 512 00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:54,308 Speaker 2: among the fan base. Lou Holtz passed and Lou Holtz 513 00:21:54,348 --> 00:21:55,988 Speaker 2: was the last Notre Dame head coach to win a 514 00:21:56,028 --> 00:21:58,548 Speaker 2: national title. You know, it's been nineteen eighty eight. It's 515 00:21:58,548 --> 00:22:02,988 Speaker 2: been too long. It's unacceptable. How does that personally motivate you? 516 00:22:03,028 --> 00:22:04,868 Speaker 2: And how does since that linger over your head is 517 00:22:04,908 --> 00:22:06,268 Speaker 2: the guy who's trying to end that strength? 518 00:22:07,348 --> 00:22:10,948 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, Look, I don't need any addict motivation, 519 00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:16,828 Speaker 10: but it's a reminder for me that winning the national 520 00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:20,668 Speaker 10: championship isn't for me personally, it's for this place. It's 521 00:22:20,708 --> 00:22:24,708 Speaker 10: for the players that bleed and give their all to 522 00:22:24,788 --> 00:22:27,908 Speaker 10: Notre Dame and there's nothing more I would want to 523 00:22:27,948 --> 00:22:31,948 Speaker 10: do but to give this university it's next national championship. 524 00:22:31,988 --> 00:22:34,308 Speaker 10: And so I think we have to remember that because 525 00:22:34,348 --> 00:22:38,108 Speaker 10: you start to think it's about you. I think you 526 00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:41,868 Speaker 10: know that selfish mentality isn't going to achieve anything great. 527 00:22:41,868 --> 00:22:43,868 Speaker 10: But if you continue to remember it's about other people, 528 00:22:43,868 --> 00:22:47,908 Speaker 10: it's about working to make sure that this place receives 529 00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:51,788 Speaker 10: the reward. The players you coach received that reward. That's 530 00:22:51,868 --> 00:22:54,428 Speaker 10: what I think about when I think about nineteen eighty eight. 531 00:22:54,468 --> 00:22:57,148 Speaker 10: It's been too long since this university has been able 532 00:22:57,148 --> 00:22:59,868 Speaker 10: to say it's national champions Coach. 533 00:22:59,948 --> 00:23:02,548 Speaker 6: I go back to your speech after winning the Orange Bowl, 534 00:23:02,588 --> 00:23:04,828 Speaker 6: and you know people are talking about you, and you 535 00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:06,188 Speaker 6: kept saying, it's about us. 536 00:23:06,228 --> 00:23:08,508 Speaker 4: It's about the players we've had. 537 00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:12,268 Speaker 6: We've You've had five guys participating this year's combine. Let's 538 00:23:12,268 --> 00:23:15,468 Speaker 6: start off with the Heisman Trophy finalist, Jeremiah Love, who's 539 00:23:15,468 --> 00:23:18,108 Speaker 6: projected to be off the board pretty early. What is 540 00:23:18,148 --> 00:23:21,468 Speaker 6: it about Jeremiah that makes him such a special running back? 541 00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:24,828 Speaker 9: He's a unicorn. I'm telling you that. 542 00:23:26,588 --> 00:23:29,588 Speaker 10: There's none like me. It's like people say, how do 543 00:23:29,628 --> 00:23:34,028 Speaker 10: you replace Jeremiah Love. You don't replace Jeremiah Love. You've 544 00:23:34,068 --> 00:23:37,308 Speaker 10: got to try to replace his production. But his balance, 545 00:23:37,388 --> 00:23:42,908 Speaker 10: his footwork, his quickness in his speed. It is something 546 00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:47,228 Speaker 10: I've never seen before and been around and coach and 547 00:23:47,268 --> 00:23:50,068 Speaker 10: he works at the game. It's so funny some of 548 00:23:50,148 --> 00:23:52,908 Speaker 10: these spin moves and jumping over players and some of 549 00:23:52,948 --> 00:23:55,588 Speaker 10: these cuts that he makes in the game. You'll see 550 00:23:55,628 --> 00:23:58,868 Speaker 10: him doing these things in practice versus scout team and 551 00:23:58,908 --> 00:24:01,388 Speaker 10: he tells you, Coach, I'm working on moves that I 552 00:24:01,388 --> 00:24:04,388 Speaker 10: think I'm doing the game and I'm telling you what man, 553 00:24:04,388 --> 00:24:08,188 Speaker 10: and hearing my love is. He's got a high ceiling 554 00:24:08,428 --> 00:24:11,428 Speaker 10: and he's been performing at a really high level. 555 00:24:11,468 --> 00:24:13,308 Speaker 9: But there's so much more to him. 556 00:24:13,308 --> 00:24:15,548 Speaker 10: That's the exciting thing is that I think he's going 557 00:24:15,588 --> 00:24:16,668 Speaker 10: to continue to get better. 558 00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:17,108 Speaker 9: List. 559 00:24:17,188 --> 00:24:20,148 Speaker 10: I think he could be obviously a running back, he 560 00:24:20,148 --> 00:24:21,988 Speaker 10: could be a wide receiver, he could be a corner. 561 00:24:22,508 --> 00:24:24,828 Speaker 10: He's a freak athlete that is going to be really 562 00:24:24,828 --> 00:24:26,388 Speaker 10: successful at the next level. 563 00:24:26,988 --> 00:24:27,308 Speaker 3: Coach. 564 00:24:27,348 --> 00:24:30,108 Speaker 8: As a former defensive back myself, I've been watching around 565 00:24:30,108 --> 00:24:32,628 Speaker 8: the league like all these all these Notre Dame safeties 566 00:24:32,628 --> 00:24:33,468 Speaker 8: are cooking right now. 567 00:24:33,588 --> 00:24:34,908 Speaker 3: Man, These guys are making play. 568 00:24:34,988 --> 00:24:38,428 Speaker 8: So let's talk about Notre Dame alom Xavier Watts. He 569 00:24:38,468 --> 00:24:41,068 Speaker 8: had a standout rookie season with the Falcons this year. 570 00:24:41,108 --> 00:24:43,748 Speaker 8: What are your expectations for him going into season two? 571 00:24:44,668 --> 00:24:47,428 Speaker 9: Oh man, it's funny. 572 00:24:47,468 --> 00:24:49,948 Speaker 10: Let me before I answer that, I think about Xavier's journey, 573 00:24:50,148 --> 00:24:52,668 Speaker 10: right I get here. In twenty twenty one, Xavier watch 574 00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:56,908 Speaker 10: as a wide receiver and we made a decision to 575 00:24:56,948 --> 00:25:00,508 Speaker 10: move him to safety, and he did some things naturally. 576 00:25:00,588 --> 00:25:03,828 Speaker 9: During the season we played Navy. He made some tackles 577 00:25:03,828 --> 00:25:04,268 Speaker 9: and track. 578 00:25:04,188 --> 00:25:06,708 Speaker 10: The We said, man, this dude has a high ceiling 579 00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:10,948 Speaker 10: as a safety, and two years later he's a Bronco. 580 00:25:11,028 --> 00:25:14,508 Speaker 10: The Gersky Award winner as the best defensive player comes 581 00:25:14,548 --> 00:25:17,548 Speaker 10: back to improve his draft stocks. So I'm not surprised 582 00:25:17,588 --> 00:25:19,308 Speaker 10: he was up for the Defensive Player of the Year. 583 00:25:20,548 --> 00:25:24,388 Speaker 10: He's got some god given ability. He works, and he's 584 00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:27,868 Speaker 10: only played the position for now probably four years, and 585 00:25:27,988 --> 00:25:30,908 Speaker 10: so I think he'll continue to get better. He's an 586 00:25:31,028 --> 00:25:34,268 Speaker 10: unselfish kid that loves Notre Dame, that gave his all 587 00:25:34,348 --> 00:25:38,628 Speaker 10: to this place, and he's getting the reward of all 588 00:25:38,708 --> 00:25:39,228 Speaker 10: his labor. 589 00:25:40,628 --> 00:25:43,148 Speaker 7: The average NFL fan getting ready for the draft this year, 590 00:25:43,228 --> 00:25:45,428 Speaker 7: might say, yeah, Jeremiah Love heard a bunch about him. 591 00:25:46,188 --> 00:25:50,148 Speaker 5: Awesome, going to be highly drafted. There's two Notre Dame. 592 00:25:51,148 --> 00:25:55,348 Speaker 7: Talk about your Darien Price because you know, maybe his production. 593 00:25:55,708 --> 00:25:57,988 Speaker 7: If there was no Jeremy, the numbers would be off 594 00:25:58,028 --> 00:26:00,028 Speaker 7: the charts, Like what do we not know about him? 595 00:26:00,508 --> 00:26:02,948 Speaker 7: Because maybe a lot of people focus so much on Love. 596 00:26:03,508 --> 00:26:07,268 Speaker 10: Yeah, if you could just watch his plays, watch the 597 00:26:07,388 --> 00:26:11,308 Speaker 10: plays that Jadarian Price played in the games here at 598 00:26:11,348 --> 00:26:15,068 Speaker 10: his career Notre Dame, there wouldn't be a question of 599 00:26:15,148 --> 00:26:18,908 Speaker 10: why he's being talked about now. But it's just wasn't 600 00:26:18,948 --> 00:26:21,068 Speaker 10: a lot because you're sharing the backfield with Jeremiah Love, 601 00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:25,548 Speaker 10: you know, and he's such an unselfish player. But when 602 00:26:25,628 --> 00:26:28,068 Speaker 10: you get him on the field and you put the 603 00:26:28,148 --> 00:26:30,908 Speaker 10: ball in his hands, he makes things happen. He makes 604 00:26:30,908 --> 00:26:35,108 Speaker 10: big plays, kickoff return touchdowns, long touchdowners. You're just watching 605 00:26:35,148 --> 00:26:38,948 Speaker 10: against Arkansas right before half, like he finds the way 606 00:26:38,988 --> 00:26:40,668 Speaker 10: to get the ball to the end zone. He has 607 00:26:40,708 --> 00:26:44,188 Speaker 10: deceptive speed and he's really unique. He's got a unique 608 00:26:44,268 --> 00:26:47,268 Speaker 10: ability to get the ball lateral and then vertical. Right, 609 00:26:47,308 --> 00:26:50,228 Speaker 10: he can outrun a defensive silent, get vertical and so 610 00:26:51,148 --> 00:26:54,628 Speaker 10: I'm excited to see what he does in an organization 611 00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:57,988 Speaker 10: where he is the primary back because he he's been 612 00:26:58,068 --> 00:27:01,108 Speaker 10: special and it's just he's been in the same backfield 613 00:27:01,108 --> 00:27:04,068 Speaker 10: as Jeremiah Love and you know what, he's just taken 614 00:27:04,068 --> 00:27:06,068 Speaker 10: advance image of the opportunities he's gotten. 615 00:27:07,668 --> 00:27:09,308 Speaker 2: Coach, I think I speak for a lot of Notre 616 00:27:09,388 --> 00:27:11,948 Speaker 2: Dame fans that say, when we are very proud of 617 00:27:12,028 --> 00:27:13,668 Speaker 2: the way you represent the program. 618 00:27:13,868 --> 00:27:15,108 Speaker 3: Obviously the results that you. 619 00:27:15,068 --> 00:27:18,948 Speaker 2: Get, this is an NFL show, and as a compliment 620 00:27:18,988 --> 00:27:20,588 Speaker 2: to you, the fact that you've done so well, your 621 00:27:20,668 --> 00:27:23,108 Speaker 2: name does get tossed around for NFL jobs, and it 622 00:27:23,108 --> 00:27:25,228 Speaker 2: has in the past. The fact of the matter is 623 00:27:25,268 --> 00:27:27,188 Speaker 2: it is the highest level of football on the planet. 624 00:27:27,268 --> 00:27:30,348 Speaker 2: And as a competitive guy like you do you dream 625 00:27:30,428 --> 00:27:32,988 Speaker 2: sometimes about being in the pros. You watch the Super 626 00:27:33,028 --> 00:27:35,228 Speaker 2: Bowl and lifting the Lombardi and say no, no, no, 627 00:27:35,268 --> 00:27:36,428 Speaker 2: maybe someday that might be me. 628 00:27:37,308 --> 00:27:40,228 Speaker 9: Yeah, you never say never in. 629 00:27:41,668 --> 00:27:44,628 Speaker 10: Dream, maybe our daydream every once in a while, where 630 00:27:44,708 --> 00:27:48,108 Speaker 10: he counted in when there was some interest. 631 00:27:49,508 --> 00:27:52,028 Speaker 9: This year, I said it in my press confers. 632 00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:55,108 Speaker 10: It gave me the opportunity to gain knowledge on what 633 00:27:55,948 --> 00:27:59,108 Speaker 10: being a head coach in the NFL truly entails what's 634 00:27:59,188 --> 00:28:02,708 Speaker 10: the relationship with the GM, the ownership, what do they 635 00:28:02,788 --> 00:28:06,068 Speaker 10: believe it takes to have success that level. And so 636 00:28:06,748 --> 00:28:10,388 Speaker 10: I learned a lot about what being an NFL head 637 00:28:10,388 --> 00:28:14,508 Speaker 10: coach entails. And it's knowledge that I'll continue to keep 638 00:28:14,548 --> 00:28:16,668 Speaker 10: in my head.
