86
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: whatever reason. The boy doesn't hear it, and I guess,

87
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,680

88
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,160

Speaker 2: you got to touch the stop down at the bottom

90
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,040

91
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: and like touch one of the side buttons and it

92
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,960

93
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: it off, but I turned it off, and next thing

94
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,280

Speaker 1: little bit more that because I have been talking for

359
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,320

00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,839

362
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,640

389
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: We want to go upstairs for I guess just to

00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,200

391
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, power hour. Yeah, and like, hey, let's play

392
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: this game.

393
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: Lucy accy ac deocy a c deucy bro explain the p.

394
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: And quickly explain the details of the game. That's a

395
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: very simple game, all.

396
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: Right, So ac ac deucy say jack, we are playing,

397
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: and we put in a hundred dollar minimum. That's what

398
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: the minimum was, one hundred dollars, so we're throwing it

399
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars. You put in you face up one card,

400
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: face up another card.

401
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: Say it's a four and a jack.

402
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: You either want to hit and play the game, meaning

403
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: you're thinking, the next card out of my hand is

404
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: going to be in between a four and a jack.

405
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: If you're like you would say pot, meaning you're betting

406
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: what's in the pot, you would say pot, I flip

407
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: up the card.

408
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: If you're within the jack and the four, you win

409
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: the pot.

410
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: If you're outside of the jack and four, it's just

411
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: outside of it, not jack or four.

412
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: Outside of those two cards, you lose. You would just you.

413
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: Would have to pay whatever you Yeah, if you bet

414
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: the pot, you have to pay what's in the pot.

415
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: So if it's five hundred dollars in the pot, you

416
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: gotta pay five hundred dollars in the pot. If you post,

417
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: meaning you hit the jack or the four, you have

418
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: to double the pot. I learned very quickly that this

419
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: is not gonna be the game that I want to

420
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: partake in. I think after three hands, I was like,

421
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: first two hands, it doesn't even get around to me.

422
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: I don't even get the guess right, Like somebody either

423
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: wins or somebody one right away, and I'm like, oh,

424
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: I just lost. I just lose my money gone. And

425
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: the next time I got to go, it's like I

426
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: got like a nine and a seven. So I didn't

427
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: get to Actually, I was like skip, because if you

428
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: don't want to bet, you just say skip. Money stays in,

429
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: it just goes to the next person. So, Bro, these

430
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: hands are massive. I'm talking stair typical. You want an

431
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: idea of NFL players gambling up in a hotel room,

432
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: this is it.

433
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 5: Bro.

434
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: You could literally there was so much money on the table.

435
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: At one point you could buy pay in full a

436
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Honda Civic. Yeah, there was a Honda

437
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: Civic on the table of money.

438
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: Now when it stopped, when there's there's stuff in between

439
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: that we can hit on too. Because Taylor, there was

440
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: a big one where I'm like one, I'm telling Taylor

441
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: and I'm.

442
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: Like no, right, because it was I think the number

443
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: was at eleven thousand and a half.

444
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: Okay, ten and a half was it ain't cash in

445
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: the fucking middle of the table, and I'm getting nervous,

446
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: and you can see it's one of those things where

447
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: if you lose your money, you're not losing it to

448
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: you're you're not losing it to the casino where it's like, fuck,

449
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 2: I bet ten grand and I lost it, Like that's

450
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: all on you for betting that kind of money. You

00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 2: with each other, like trying to like, hey, help me out,

454
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. You can see it's like getting I'm

455
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: sweating and uh, there's ten and a half in the middle.

456
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: And Taylor goes around.

457
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: Telling Taylor I go, hey, brother, I go, even if

458
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: it's an ACE two, you shouldn't do it.

459
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: And as he's saying that to me, it's my turn

460
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: on what pops up boys A two.

461
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760

463
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: actually gets there. But I'm like, just the chances of

464
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: an ACE two hitting because as high too low, like

465
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,639

Speaker 2: Right, ten and a half times to twenty one grand.

481
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,040

Speaker 2: happened to Post. I'm like, I get that the odds

483
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,120

484
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: it's an ACE or two, you gotta spend twenty one grand.

485
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,840

488
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: I told Taling, like, if you want to do it,

489
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: like everybody's kind of like, you know you you don't

490

491
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: thousand to the towards the pot. So if you win,

492
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: you only win a thousand. If you lose, you pay

493
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,800

Speaker 3: a legit.

496
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: Now Will has taken me like a parent parental figure

497
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: and brought me over to the corner of the room

498
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: to give me a stern conversation about what could and

499
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: could not happen.

500
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, we the second walk. I got that. Yeah,

501
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: I got taken.

502
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: For a walk by Will. Will goes Bro says the

503
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: whole conversation. He just said to me, I look over,

504
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: I go, hey, how many cards are left? They said four. Now,

505
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: while everyone's arguing, because everyone is once the money is

506
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: getting this high, everyone's arguing about what I should do

507
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: in this situation. While people are arguing, I do the

508
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: number one thing you shouldn't do when you're playing cards,

509
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: Taylor tries looking for I started moving the cards out

510
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: of the way to see how many aces, how many

511
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: two's I can see?

512
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 3: I saw one ace and one, two, so four cards.

513
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: But right when he touches, everybody's kind of like, oh,

514
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm like, hey, you can't do that.

515
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: I'm on Taylor's side, but I'm like, you can't. I know,

516
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 3: and that is fair, that is that is a fair

517
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: thing you did.

518
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: But I really in that position, it was like, I

519
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck how people view me.

520
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: I need to make sure I'm.

521
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: Bro like, but that's how high them, that's how high

522
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: this game was getting.

523
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: So in like what do you have there?

524
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: And like, let's just say Taylor had like five grand,

525
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: He's like, you can do half of that, just bet it.

526
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: So then if you lose, you just pay what you

527
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: have available. Because some people are having a start, you

528
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: get to where it's like it's not even there money,

529
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: the cash.

530
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: Isn't even there anymore.

531
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: You got a venmo at this point, right, you're in

532
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: the digital it's in the air.

533
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 3: And so Taylor ends up betting it. What flips over

534
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: to A two?

535
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: A fucking two, And I'm like, bro, Fortunately he had

536
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: whatever he had bet at that.

537
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: Moment, so all my money was now, all this money

538
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: was gone, My cash was gone.

539
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: His cash.

540
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had other ways of getting getting money with

541
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: the casino.

542
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 3: So I was like, all right, we'll be all right.

543
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: And then I think it's a big one on like

544
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: a King three.

545
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Hey, let's not say too many names. Now, pot gets

546
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: up to seventeen thousand dollars.

547
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: And someone pots it because it was age three, age.

548
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 3: Four, it was King three.

549
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: I think it was King three pots it.

550
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: It hits a you know it posts or a King

551
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: thirty two or thirty four grand to the middle. That's

552
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: when everybody was kind of like, all right, this has

553
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: gotten out of hand. We should figure out a way

554
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: to stop this.

555
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: Right.

556
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: So people ended up kind of getting some of their money.

557
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: People got most of their money back, and whoever played

558
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: the best game got a little bit more on top.

559
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you bullshit, but that's not We're not

560
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: it's not worth going into right now.

561
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got your you got your kid, you got

562
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: got my money back.

563

Speaker 1: I got I basically got my money back, which I'm

564
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: very great before.

Speaker 3: So but that was fucking nuts. Bro.

569
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,080

571
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,280

594
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: That's what's crazy about the whole thing.

595
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: Crazy dude, that night, things went really well. This gentleman

596
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: named Marty in the high roller table he was leaving.

597
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 1: We've had plenty of drinks by this point, we're hugging

598
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: Marty and his juju, and that hug gave us we

599
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: We got a dub night one at the Aria, we

600
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: got a big dub.

601
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: All of us.

602
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: Everybody won big except for one individual who we will

603
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: not name at this point. They lost pretty bad, but

604
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: it was an incredible It was an incredible time.

605
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: The next two days we did pods.

606
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: It was amazing, maybe the best pods Will and I

607
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: have facilitated.

608
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: I think we both did a very good job.

609
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, Yeah, it was fucking They were also

610
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: hear them, They're gonna be awesome. Now I get home Sunday.

611
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: Obviously the Saturday game has already played. Jacksonville lost. We

612
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we all kind of thought that could happen.

613
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: They put up a good fight. They had a phenomenal season.

614
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure Jacksonville is on the up and up. A

615
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of people are using the phrase changing of the

616
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: guard in the AFC south of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

617
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: hope that's not true, because obviously your boys a Titan

618
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: for life. But at the same time, like if that

619
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: is like if I'm a Duvall fan, I am extremely

620
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: happy about all the turmoil that they have gone through

621
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: and now are Lawrence is starting to play, He's started

622
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: to play ball, started to play ball to life.

623
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: They lose who What's the night game?

624
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: Was it?

625
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 3: Eagles Giants?

626
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought Jalen Hurts would be a little

627
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: rusty coming off being injured and stuff like that, but

628
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: they fucking I forgot how good.

629
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: The Eagles And without asking, Yeah, I forgot how good

630
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles were.

631
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: It's like they are dominant, they are like that in

632
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: the trenches.

633
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: Juligit really did forget who they were. Like as far

634
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: as how good they are across the.

635
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 3: Board, they didn't have it.

636
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: I don't think they really had the primetime games like that,

637
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: or if they did, it was like Jalen wasn't in.

638
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: It was Gardner Minshew.

639
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: And then they had the bye week, so you kind

640
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: of again kind of forget for a sake, and then

641
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: you're like, are they going to seem like the Baltimore

642
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: Ravens in twenty nineteen coming off the bye week? But bro,

643
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: they are fucking Juggernauts. Dude, the Niners are gonna have

644
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: their hands full big time, especially after the way they

645
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: played the Cowboys, because I don't Cowboys didn't play that well.

646
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: No they didn't, but I would say that, like we

647
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: said this before in the last part, the Eagles and

648
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: the Niners are the two best put together teams in

649
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I think, but I think the big

650
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: difference is going to be the quarterback and that's gonna be.

651
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 3: A big difference.

652
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: And I hate Yeah, I don't know if you want

653
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: to put out who's gonna win that now, but I'm

654
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: really ready to say mine.

655
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's gonna be tough, man. I think

656
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna be hard.

657
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: I'm going back and forth just because we got bet

658
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: the bus this week and I'm really, like I've said,

659
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 2: Niners are winning the Super Bowl for the last couple

660
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: of weeks now, and after watching this past weekend, it's like, fuck,

661
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: the Eagles are tough.

662
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: They're tough. Bro.

663
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 7: That release is gonna be dicey too, with only two

664
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 7: games on the board, right, two.

665
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: Games of the board and probably double the money then,

666
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: so du.

667
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: Bro, because we went too and two I think on

668
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 2: the if you just go by games like I was.

669
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: The parlay parlays fucking just killed me, dude. I chase

670
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: them all, I chase all the parlay Let me just

671
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: have one more leg here. Oh that looks good.

672
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: And you're saying all conservative bets you made this weekend.

673
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: Do what A couple of your parlays were very conservative,

674
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: like oh, these you even put the meter down.

675
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: To the point, I like moved the line on. I

676
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: just did like the Niners money line. I did the

677
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: over under. I moved it down like forty and the

678
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: Niners to score twenty four points, and they fucking.

679
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: They don't do it right, they don't do it.

680
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: And again I feel like they just missed out, Like dude,

681
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: the situational awareness by the Dallas Cowboys.

682
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 3: Both teams honestly were playing really bad ball at the

683
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: end of the game. Yeah, because who was Mitchell Mitchell?

684
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: Mitchell, Well get the first down and runs out of bounds, Like, bro,

685
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: you have to make a hard left turn in that

686
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: situation and just go down. Yeah, you don't need yards

687
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: at that point. You need to suck up time.

688
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: I always wanting a touchdown because they were at nineteen points.

689
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: I wanted somebody to break one and get up. Yeah.

690
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeahs Derek Henry run away for me exactly, and that

691
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: likely if I'm I'm Ezekiel Elliott, I am blaming Mitchell

692
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: for that because if they would have done that, the

693
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: game would have been over and they would have never

694
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: been in that position to that dumb ass play they

695
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: did before.

696
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 3: Bro, how about that last play of the game, Like,

697
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: what were you thinking?

698
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: I was thinking, everybody has this play. Everybody has like

699
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: we used to call it Cheetah when kesin Ken wiz

700
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Hunt was in where you would literally be like all

701
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: the offense linemen off the field except for the center

702
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: because the center would snap the ball and then it's

703
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: basically just playing backyard football. Lateral pass is only hoping

704
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: to God like it's it's your hail Mary attempts when

705
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: you're out of a hail Mary range. Now, Guy, when

706
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: I saw Zeke do that, how legit just felt bad

707
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: for him. Hands were outside, he had not a lot

708
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: of need. Ben like that's bad all.

709
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 3: You know, thinking this is gonna be fucking horrendous. No,

710
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 3: I think the the opposite.

711
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I think when they put that play in probably week

712
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: two of the season, maybe even during camp and you

713
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: going over situational stuff on Saturdays. Zeke gets like, hey, Zeke,

714
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna snap and he's probably bragging the boys. Like, man,

715
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: I watched this ship and he's snapping and it's hitting

716
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: Dak right in the chest. He goes, man, anybody can

717
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: do this, Like he's literally probably bragging the guys. Now

718
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: situation comes up and my man gets his hands hands

719
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: put on him.

720
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: I saw that happen. I go, this play is fucking dead.

721
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: The minute I saw a Zeke start stumbling to the ground, go,

722
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: this is It's over. And then Dak throws the ball.

723
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: He throws a fucking muffin to Buddy and he gets

724
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: his ass fucking smelling. I'm like, what a stupid fucking play. Yes,

725
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: the only worst play I've ever seen in that is

726
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts on that on that uh fake punt.

727
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: But yeah against the Patriots.

728
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Now, Pat McAfee has come out and said they weren't

729
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: supposed to snap the ball in that situation. If we're

730
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: going to believe Pat in that type of situation, then

731
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: that is the worst football player I've ever seen. That

732
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: shit is. That shit was so embarrassingly terrible, and I

733
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine they hate right now.

734
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: I know Stephen A.

735
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: Smith, him and his hairline were fucking laughing their ass

736
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: off at Dak Prescott because they hate the cowboys, him

737
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: and his hair.

738
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: It's like, basically like people are saying like a legacy game,

739
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: like yeah, you know, how's that gonna?

740
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: I kept saying it on.

741
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: The broadcast, so like, hey, things are shaping up exactly

742
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: like last year's game. Things are shaping up for Dak

743
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: Prescott to have his statement game that he's gonna do X,

744
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Y and Z, and he just couldn't put together. I

745
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: can't play quarterbacks. I have no room to throw shade.

746
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: But the ship looked bad. And also another person to

747
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: blame is that fucking tight end casually catching the ball

748
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: and just stepping out. Buddy, this ain't college. You gotta

749
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: put both of them little boys in the ground before

750
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: you hit the white paint.

751
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: You try to make sure you get four steps in,

752
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: like you don't just think, oh.

753
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just go to the ground, put them bitches in

754
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: and fucking fall in the pocket.

755
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: Running because he look he was casually going out of

756
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: bounds and then just kind of walked versus like fighting

757
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: forward to get.

758
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: Out of them and brock Perty had another bad play

759
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: too at the end of half was it the end

760
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: half of the uh? Was it? I can't really remember,

761
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: but I remember it was like it was the end

762
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: of a half and there was like eight seconds left

763
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: and he looks and look and goes to his like

764
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: third third or fourth read.

765
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: It's like bro out of the Yeah, before the you

766
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: have enough time. They almost they almost lost that.

767
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: I mean, big work day for Madden ratings people. Yeah,

768
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: the awareness and bring those awareness ratings down on some

769
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: of those guys.

770
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: That ship is bad.

771
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: Bro the Shultz that was that's just really bad ball

772
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: of Mitchell. It was a mistake that a lot of

773
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: people have made in the past, but you would think

774
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan goes over that ship every single week. And

775
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: you got to know four minute like no penalties if

776
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: you there's no holding in four minute like if you hold,

777
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: you get beat for a TfL.

778
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: That's better than a hold.

779
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: There's no penalties, stay in bounds and if you're injured

780
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: unless it's like broken, you have to get.

781
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: Off the field, like unless you're dying.

782
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: And that happened in two minutes for the Cowboys as well.

783
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: They're going into half and they were throwing the ball

784
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: and Paulard gets a high ankle. Spring hinkle, Spring's hurt.

785
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: I've had them.

786
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: That shit sucks.

787
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: But you gotta hobble your way off that field to

788
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: keep that the clock running or I'm sorry, you have

789
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: to hobl off the field so they can either clock

790
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: it or go because they had to burn a time

791
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: out in that situation. Yeah, that's just that's just tough.

792
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: That is a tough, tough deal.

793
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 3: What then you go to the What's up? No go ahead?

794
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, then you go to the AFC,

795
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: the Bill's Bengals. Yeah, Joe Burrow's fucking I don't know why.

796
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: I always feel like I end up just not thinking

797
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: about the Bengals. But the last couple of years now,

798
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: like Joe Burrow is the fucking man bro.

799
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: And it's it's it's sad if you're a Josh Allen fan,

800
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: because before this season, in the middle of the season,

801
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: it was Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen one A one B,

802
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: Like those are the two dudes in the AFC, and

803
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of like, hey, Joe Burrow is a fucking stud, Like,

804
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: don't get a twisted my man can sing that thing,

805
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: he can rip that thing. He can rip that thing

806
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: all over the yard. The only situation is is like

807
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: these are these these are the two studs. That is

808
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: what it is. Josh ends up declining late in the season,

809
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers, he wasn't thrown as well. He's

810
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: got an elite skill set that a lot of guys

811
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: don't have, using his legs in certain situations. But now,

812
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: after the game yesterday, you kind of sit there and

813
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: if you were to go one, two, three, right now,

814
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes, Burrow, Allen. If you're going to rank those

815
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks just based off of this last game.

816
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: My question is, do you think Joe Burrow becomes number

817
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: one if.

818
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: He gets a Super Bowl this year? It's hard to say.

819
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, right, Mahomes is only on one.

820
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: I would think, so he went to the Super Bowl

821
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: last two years and if he wins it this.

822
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Year, yeah, But the argument is, Mahomes has been in

823
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl it seems like every year. And I

824
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: know that's a skewed number, right, They've lost the AFC Championship,

825
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: they've lost in the Super Bowl.

826
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: But I feel like, but if jot that.

827
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: Joe wins this weekend. He will have beat the Chiefs

828
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: the last four games in.

829
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: A row, four games in a row, And I honestly

830
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: believe with a with a Patrick Mahomes ankle, you got

831
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: to lean towards the Bengals.

832
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals are winning it. I think the

833
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: Bengals are winning this weekend because I really think, like,

834
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: I know, Pat's going to be a badass and be

835
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: out there and player do everything possible to play up.

836
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: But I just think coming off of a high angle spring,

837
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: I mean you you know how high englesprings are.

838
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: Some guys might miss up to six weeks with a high.

839
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Offering, Dude, High gol springs suck, and you can only

840
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: like you legit make it worse for you playoff it.

841
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he played on it because you got the

842
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: only going. You know, he took a tourd all shot

843
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: in the locker room like you're doing all these things. Yeah,

844
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: the next two days, bro, you probably feel like your

845
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: leg is broken with the hankles brings.

846
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: He's probably in a boot right now.

847
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's probably in a boot right now, and he

848
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: still grimaces when he walks in a boot.

849
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: Thinking to myself, how in the fuck Am I about

850
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: to make this happen this week?

851
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: Right now? You know he's going to do anything possible

852
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: to shoot that shit out. That thing's going to be

853
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: taped to the nines. He is going to do whatever

854
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: it takes.

855
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: Now, on the flip side of saying, Joe Burrow, if

856
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: he wins, he's like the number one quarterback. If Pat

857
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes takes this team with the Super Bowl and wins

858
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: the super Bowl with.

859
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: That ankle, go go, this generation's j You just that

860
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: they'll win real fast, buddy.

861
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: But this generation's quarterbacks, which are an incredible group of

862
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right the three we've already mentioned. Lamar Jackson's in

863
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: there for Lawrence is now coming along like there is

864
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: a crazy amount of talent at the quarterback position in

865
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: the NFL right now at a very young age. He

866
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: goes and takes them boys to the super Bowl and

867
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: wins the super.

868
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: Bowl on that ankle.

869
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is go to to that generation. Generation of

870
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: that generation, dude, Yeah, agree with that. It is fucking cool. Now.

871
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: I do think the I think the Bengals are gonna

872
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals are winning fairly easy.

873
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: Oh, it seems like the Bengals do a great job

874
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: on defense.

875
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

876
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: And I feel like they'll get after I feel they'll

877
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 2: get after Pad a little bit.

878
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City is like the Big twelve.

879
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 3: Dude.

880
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: They air rate that thing out, but for whatever reason,

881
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: like they'll go shot for shot in games with other

882
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: teamscuse their defense. I can't get it done. And I

883
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: don't know that that probably hurt to hear from camp.

884
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't feel like they got an O

885
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: line like that that's gonna protect him because also the

886
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: high angles praying and it is right ankle, that's.

887
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: His back foot. Yeah, I think I think it's his

888
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: right ankle. It is all right.

889
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals see blood in the water and

890
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: it's going to be a long day for the Kanca Chiefs.

891
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: That's what I think. Wow, that's what That's what I think.

892
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: What's the funny You're undecided on on uh San Francisco

893
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: and Eagles, which is fair, I am right now you're

894
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: willing to stamp it well.

895
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: You and the Chiefs have got a weird fucking deal

896
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 3: going bro.

897
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: And I know that's that's what peop might think. But

898
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 2: also if you look at what's what just unfolded over

899
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: the weekend.

900
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair thing to say, right, but

901
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 3: you can't cannot Pat Mahomes.

902
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: That dude was literally jumping in the air just to

903
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: throw a little little toss over to Travis Kelcey.

904
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: He was doing some things even then. Now I'm counting Chad.

905
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: Is it Chad Henny Michigan legend takes him on a

906
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: ninety eight yard fucking drive, does an incredible job. Dice

907
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: is the boys up like it's no big deal at all.

908
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: Was literally out there being a field general, crushing it

909
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: for the boys. You put him in the game. He's

910
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: a stud too. Now they have fucking they have an

911
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: elite offense. I don't know what their defense is statistically,

912
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: but it really seems to me like they're obviously the

913
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: lacking piece that needs to figure it out, which is Chiefs. Yeah,

914
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: because they have Frank Cark, they got Chris Jones like

915
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: they have. They have an elite front that is scary

916
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: to play against.

917
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: But Joe Burr's about to get nasty on them. Boy,

918
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 3: he was about to get nasty. Joe is Joe cool?

919
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: Dude? The fucking we were talking about this when we

920
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: were working out this morning. That slow mo video in

921
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: the snow where Joe fucking rips that thing and it

922
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: hits us spinny hits a three sixty piece and then

923
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: the receiver is not even in the fucking screen at

924
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: that point. So he's like, Yo, where's where's he shipping

925
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: off this rocket to He shifts that rocket off to

926
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: the left side. He just does a cool little spin

927
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: arms flop it in the air like Gumby, and all

928
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, that little thing just places it perfectly

929
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: that wide receiver. It's incredible at this.

930
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 3: He's just so fucking that is just like cool, that

931
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: is cool.

932
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: Before Joe Burrow got to the Bengals, I don't care

933
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: who you are, don't even care if you're a Bengals fan.

934
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: You look at those helmets of that uniform and that team,

935
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: he'd be like, man, they fucking suck. Joe Burrow makes

936
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: that shit cool as hell.

937
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't know shot Shadow Josko. Back when he was

938
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: playing the they had a couple of twelve and four seasons.

939
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: They was nice Adie Dollond Dude, the red rocket was

940
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: this Palmer, Yeah, Carson Palmer, I mean, but still like

941
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: they would never like a team. He'd be like, Oh,

942
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: we got to watch out for them. Joe Burrow is

943
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: legit making them super Bowl contenders a year like he said,

944
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: his year and a year out now right.

945
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 3: He said, as long as he's there, they will always

946
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: have a shot out.

947
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: What they were talking about the AFC Championship game in Atlanta,

948
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: say go ahead and get those refunds Boston.

949
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they win by double digits.

950
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh, it's getting stronger. I don't know about double Diggi's

951
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: on me. I don't know about double duty's, but I do.

952
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: I think right now, if you're just looking at the game,

953
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: this is a Monday, this comes out on Tuesday. You

954
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: gotta look at and say, you have no idea how

955
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: pass feeling. He can shoot up all the things in

956
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: the world, all the turtle in the world.

957
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 3: He can literally numb the ankle. It's still gonna fucking hurt, dude.

958
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Bengals, not by double digits, but I'm

959
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: picking the Bengals in that game.

960
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: What do you think, Jack, You're back there like laughing.

961
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 7: No, I was laughing just because you have a vendetta

962
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 7: against He really does bro.

963
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: Which is tough, which is tough too, because you know,

964
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: obviously Nebraska fans are tuned into listening to Matt Rupot

965
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: and Nebraska loves their chiefs too, because that's like the

966
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 2: closest pro team.

967
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 7: No, I think I think the Bengals are gonna win.

968
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: I think they're going.

969
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: Back to Super Bowl. It's the Eagles forty nine Ers

970
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 3: game is the toss up to me.

971
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 7: But I I want to see the forty nine ers

972
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 7: in it, especially for our benefit once we're out in

973
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 7: AZ for the Super Bowl, because like we have a

974
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 7: lot more connections with the forty nine ers. But I

975
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 7: don't see the Eagles letting up after this past game.

976
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 7: It's tough to say that the forty nine ers gonna

977
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 7: be able to handle them. But that's the game I'm

978
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 7: looking forward to.

979
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: I think most yeah, that one O. That game is

980
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 3: going to be elite. Dude, it really is. Both games.

981
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm legitimately excited to watch football this weekend.

982
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be incredible.

983
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: One thing to mention on the Buffalo Bill side, man,

984
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: is what a fucking story that would have been if

985
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: they were able to pull it out against the Bengals

986
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: and go win the Super Bowl.

987
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: The Damar Hamlin University. He was there. There was a

988
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: hilarious picture by the way that.

989
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 7: The guys seen, though the conspiracy theories going around that

990
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 7: that wasn't even Damar Hamlin at the game because they didn't.

991
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 7: They don't show his face one time on the broadcast too,

992
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 7: So there's something there. I'm not saying that's my conspiracy.

993
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 3: You are the one saying it right now.

994
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: The internet is go look it up.

995
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 7: There's a lot of people out there bugging about the

996
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 7: DeMar Hamlin was not actually at that game and they

997
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 7: had someone just dressed up as him as a way

998
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 7: to get the fans ready, because you they had him

999
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 7: on the broadcast the whole time and he's complete letely

1000
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 7: put it up, covered face toe, like you don't see hands,

1001
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 7: you don't see anything.

1002
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: Just something to think about. I think I want to

1003
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: buy that stock too, Do you really? I think?

1004
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 6: So?

1005
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: What do you think tomorrow is?

1006
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: Then?

1007
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. The rabbit hole goes deep and.

1008
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: We all know, like before the game they were talking

1009
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: about announcing him walking out of the tunnel, and the

1010
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: person we were seeing tomorrow or not, he seemed like

1011
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: he had some you know, well, it seems like you're

1012
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: there like moving well, like when he got off the

1013
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: golf cart. It was almost like get a little jug

1014
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: into the locker room.

1015
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 7: Some some person stitched it on TikTok and they were

1016
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 7: talking about their mom is a cardiovascular surgeon, and they're saying,

1017
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 7: with what he went through that you shouldn't be able

1018
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 7: to put your hands above your head this far out

1019
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 7: of what was.

1020
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: Happening to him.

1021
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 7: And they show closer with him in the box and

1022
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 7: he's doing this and he's like cheering, Well, I don't know.

1023
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 7: I I have no stance on this.

1024
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: I just like to present it.

1025
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and and that's a great job going through

1026
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: those rocky waters, right, because we don't be disrespectful to

1027
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow in his situation, he might be an absolute alien

1028
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: and having amaze like doing what he's doing is according

1029
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: to the cardiovascular mother, it's a big deal. I was

1030
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: told by people that are in the world of knowing

1031
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: cardiovascular stuff that when this first went down, this is

1032
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: literally the next day I'm having a conversations people that

1033
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: like they were saying, he's got a little to any

1034
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: chance of even not being a wheelchair for the rest

1035
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: of his life or not being you know, supported in

1036
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: some type of way. Now, I'm incredibly happy that he

1037
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: is is now being all right, Like, what a scary

1038
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: scene we could have all because we literally moved the

1039
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: pod because of it. Like we are trying to be

1040
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: a sensitive possible situation. We're just talking about what we

1041
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: were told and what's out there having a conversation, and

1042
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: it's all speculation. One thing to not speculate, though, is

1043
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: the Nebraska corn husters got themselves.

1044
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 3: A fucking head coach.

1045
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: Boys, Hey, they got themselves a fucking stud. This man

1046
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: that rule came and sat on this on this little

1047
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: bitty couch and was out there putting out fucking He

1048
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: was like a modern da philosopher.

1049
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: The way he was talking to us.

1050
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: He was talking about how his foundation goes to the team,

1051
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: what he does the president, he's going to set what

1052
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: he does and does not want in the building, the

1053
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: types of guys that are going to take Nebraska back

1054
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: to those that nineties prevalence.

1055
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: I believe the word is he was. I got fired up.

1056
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: Even as a Michigan fan, You're like, damn, this is

1057
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: gonna be great for the Big ten. A guy like him,

1058
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: his attitude, his mindset can only imagine how you feel willy.

1059
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: Everybody knows where I'm at. I think Nebraska will be

1060
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: back sooner than we all like to speculate on. How

1061
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: I say we all, I mean the haters. Yeah, yeah,

1062
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: Well no, I think we're you know, I think we're

1063
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're going bowling this year.

1064
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: Well you're going bowling no matter what.

1065
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: We're going bowling, no matter what. But I think we're

1066
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 2: gonna have a winning record. I think we hit at

1067
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: least seven wins this year.

1068
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: Beat Michigan.

1069
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

1070
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'll find a way to figure that out

1071
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: by the time and that game comes.

1072
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 3: A win or lose.

1073
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 7: Though we can all agree Matt Rule is a guy

1074
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 7: that you want leading your team, right he is all

1075
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 7: the time.

1076
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the real deal. And I love his transparracy.

1077
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: I love the way he was talking about the adversities

1078
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: he's went through, even in the instance where we were like, okay,

1079
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 2: you get fired, but obviously people, you know, being a

1080
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: fired head coach these days, you get the what is

1081
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: it called the money that they get, what's that called

1082
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: the buyout? The buyout money.

1083
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: That they get.

1084
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, what kind of adversity were you really

1085
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: in and then he goes in and talk about it.

1086
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 3: I think people will enjoy hearing that.

1087
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: They're enjoyed a lot. And there is a very important

1088
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: document that is discussed on this on this bus that

1089
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: you will have to turn in tune into, and I

00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: After all, it's not just an average It's not just

1128
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: any average haircut is a This is the big leagues

00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 5: They are they're rolling, they roll until they get to

1163
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 5: the playoffs.

1164
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's a great game that game.

1165
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 5: I was actually in Mexico and my wife she uh,

1166
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 5: she set up whale watching and.

1167
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: Like during the game, during the game, a great.

1168
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 5: Picture of my son on the phone, like there's a

1169
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 5: literally a whale jumping out of the water and my

1170
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 5: son's over there watching the game. Oh no, it looked

1171
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 5: like it was gonna be a blowout. But credit to

1172
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 5: coach Harball, the boys fought back. I mean, you know,

1173
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 5: big ten, you know Big ten.

1174
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 1: There you go, that's what we need to do because

1175
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: as the Big ten, we had guys in the back

1176
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: of her SEC fans. Garrett and Jack are SEC fans,

1177
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: and they're like No, it's every man for himself out there.

1178
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: That's the wild West and the Big Ten. We have

1179
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: to come together, There's no doubt.

1180
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, because because I think, I personally think like the

1181
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 5: future of the Big Ten.

1182
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 8: We get SC, we get u c l A In.

1183
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be like the Premiere Conference

1184
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 5: and so but that boys, when when the playoff expands,

1185
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 5: I'm excited to see what happens. I think our league will,

1186
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 5: you know, especially when they start playing some home games.

1187
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 5: You know, if that if that ends up being the deal.

1188
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 5: It's imagine that game being played in ann Arbor with

1189
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 5: what the difference would have been.

1190
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 3: To stand a chance.

1191
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 5: So I as I walk across f Nebraskas Campus sometimes

1192
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 5: and feel that wind whip through you, I want to

1193
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 5: play games at home.

1194
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: And just.

1195
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 2: When you get to the side of the Hawks, you're

1196
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 2: going to get some food. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah,

1197
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: that wind just eats you up. Bro, it's in Yeah, yeah.

1198
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 5: Let's play football in that. But let's play football in

1199
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 5: those conditions. If you want to win the championship, you

1200
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 5: have to go on the road and play against somebody.

1201
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 5: So as they put together the College Football Playoff, I

1202
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 5: really hope that the home component is a big part

1203
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 5: of it. How what's been your first impression in Nebraska.

1204

1215
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 5: the haymarket, the campus community. Like I've been blown away.

1216
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 5: I had no idea though. I mean, I'm in Mexico,

1217
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 5: I'm at wherever I am. Someone comes up, go Big Red,

1218
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:52,680

Speaker 8: Like that, no doubt.

1221
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: I went to we were in Arizona and I literally

1222
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: had to go to like a bank to sign like

1223
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: a document for a loan. And I just brought Will

1224
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: with me because we're going somewhere right after. And the

1225
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: guy was like at first excited to meet me and

1226
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: then saw Will and moved him out of the way

1227
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: just to say go Big Red. And it was the

1228
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,919

1233
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 3: That much sounds like a game.

1234
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: Obviously I'm biased, but I do think Nebraska's fan base

1235
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: is second to none out there.

1236
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,759

1237

1238
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:31,560

Speaker 5: this season, you know it could have gone any which way.

1244
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 5: You guys have been in teams where you know things

1245
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 5: don't go the way you want them. They battled, you know,

1246
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,680

Speaker 3: What do you feel like, did it for you?

1252
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 2: Like if you take out the the fluff of saying

1253
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 2: like all the right things, like you got leaving Carolina,

1254
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 2: getting fired in Carolina, getting fired because it's good because

1255
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: I was sitting there like, should I say got fired

1256
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: from Carolina?

1257
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: That's You've opened up a whole lot of doors for

1258
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: us in this interview.

1259
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean I got fired, like it is what

1260
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 5: it is like, especially in that league. But it's been

1261
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 5: so I'll say this, it's been so good for me.

1262
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 5: When I'm talking, I'm talking to recruits and I me

1263
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 5: even talking to the guys in this team. They're like, Coach,

1264
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 5: I've been through this, or you know, I just transferred

1265
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 5: because of this. I'm like, bro, I was just the

1266
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 5: same thing, same thing just happened to me. That's happening

1267
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 5: to you, like you know so often as a coach,

1268
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 5: like the coach and then the player like like to me,

1269
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm on the same level with them

1270
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 5: because I just went through I went through elite adversity.

1271
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 5: Not many head coaches go through adversity because once you

1272
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 5: get fired, you usually out of it. I was just

1273
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 5: able to get fired and then two months later find

1274
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 5: a job that fit me. So like I feel like

1275
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,479
Speaker 5: I'm on a whole I'm so much better for having

1276
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 5: been through it, not not having the chance of coaching.

1277
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 3: I felt that was really cool.

1278
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 5: But to get fired and to be made fun of

1279
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 5: and to be a meme and all that stuff like

1280
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 5: that that either breaks you or turns you into something

1281
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 5: like supernatural.

1282
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 8: Like I'm not saying I'm supernatural, but I'm.

1283
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 3: Working hard Internet right now. It fires me up.

1284
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 8: Oh, it's just it's been really good for me to

1285
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 8: go through that.

1286
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 2: When you say elite adversity, and people would sit back

1287
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: and in the comments or anything else, talk about relate to. Okay,

1288
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's real tough going through that adversity with

1289
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 2: a buyout that you have a lot of coaches when

1290
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: they get fired, they get bought out Scott for literally

1291
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: everybody when.

1292
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 3: Bo got fired. But big Bio, there's big buyouts for

1293
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 3: coaches when they get fired.

1294
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: Explain the adversity you're talking about a little bit more

1295
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 2: because a lot of a lot of people do. It's

1296
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: like you do get fired, but there's a nice bag

1297
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 2: still sitting there for you.

1298
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: That does happen.

1299
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 5: No, I just mean more like, yeah, you know it's

1300
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 5: it's it's the money's the money, right, and the money's ridiculus.

1301
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 5: Shouldn't shouldn't be this much money to coach. But the

1302
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 5: market's the market, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

1303
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 5: say no, right right. I just think it's you know,

1304
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 5: it's your kids, it's your family, Like, uh, you know,

1305
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 5: people have a tendency. I think we all kind of

1306
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 5: look at athletes as like even me as a coach,

1307
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 5: like you look at athletes as you know, just this entity.

1308
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 5: You guys are people, you know what I'm saying, Like

1309
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 5: your people. You look at coaches and you see them

1310
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 5: as like this person we're just gonna criticize. But there

1311
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 5: were people, right and so like for me, like walking

1312
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 5: out of a stadium and put my arm around my

1313
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 5: son and you know, they just had fifty thousand people

1314
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 5: chanting for his dad.

1315
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: To get fired.

1316
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 8: Like that ain't fun. They had every right to do it.

1317
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 8: I got no issue with it.

1318
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 5: You try to teach lessons, but like you go through

1319
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 5: all that, your daughters come home and she's like we

1320
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 5: have to move again, Like that's real. And I'll never

1321
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 5: forget brad children. He has no coach. Childress was a vikings.

1322
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 5: He called me, texted me, didn't even I don't even

1323
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 5: know him. Yeah, he said, Matt, You'll be so much

1324
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 5: better of a coach for having gone through this, cause,

1325
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 5: you know, part of my job I have to fire coaches.

1326
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 3: I have to. I've had to fire players if it

1327
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 3: had to cut players.

1328
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 5: And when you go through it and you see what

1329
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 5: it feels like, the empathy, the how public it is,

1330
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 5: I just think that's that part of the probly, the

1331
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 5: public part of it. We're like you walk into the

1332
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 5: grocery storeft doors and people look like you like you're

1333
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 5: dead man walking, and it's like they didn't kill me.

1334
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 5: You know, I'm still here. I'm still alive. So that part,

1335
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 5: maybe just as a dad, is hard. But now to

1336
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 5: your point, you make great money. It's all part of it,

1337
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 5: Like this is the life I've chosen. It's like the mafia,

1338
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 5: like I chose to be a coach. The highs and

1339
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 5: lows of it, but you go through some The diversity's

1340
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 5: pretty tough for your kids when you know you're sitting

1341
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 5: there like, oh, I hope they're not reading this. I

1342
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 5: hope they're not reading that. Usually they are so old,

1343
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 5: are your kids? I had an eighteen year old son. Yeah,

1344
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 5: everything when he came out he's like, he's like dad, Dad,

1345
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 5: Stephen A.

1346
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 8: Smith is going in on you.

1347
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, no, it is what it is, buddy.

1348
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 5: But but nine and seven year old daughters, and they're

1349
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 5: the ones, you know, my son kind of knows that

1350
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 5: my daughter's I kind of when my son was I

1351
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 5: don't know, maybe nine or ten, I was coaching at Temple.

1352
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 5: I was an assistant coach at the time, and Andy

1353
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 5: Reid was kind of coming to the end in Philly.

1354
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 5: We went to a game and the Patriots got up

1355
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 5: on the Eagles, and the whole crowd started chanting fire Andy.

1356
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 5: And so my son sitting there, he's eight or nine,

1357
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 5: he's going fire.

1358
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no.

1359
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 5: When I started channing to fire me, I'm like, pretty

1360
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 5: good company, buddy, And hey reads he's the goat. So yeah,

1361
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 5: but I got a cool family. Eighteen nine and seven. Yeah,

1362
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 5: that's awesome, dude.

1363
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: As a very new parent, Taylor, obviously he's a he's

1364
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 2: a dad of two five.

1365
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 3: And five and two five and two. Yeah.

1366
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 2: Hearing you talk about your son being eighteen and seeing

1367
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 2: absolutely everything, I'm more so asking like, what is that

1368
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 2: mindset for you? When you know he's reading and seeing

1369
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: all this stuff, and he's either approaching you like, oh,

1370
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: I wonder how my dad's gonna respond. How important for

1371
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 2: you is it to like respond in the correct way,

1372
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 2: to show a lesson in those moments, because I feel like,

1373
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 2: even though he's seen any he's probably feeling like.

1374
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 3: Fuck, man, I wish he wasn't blah blah blah.

1375
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 2: But then he goes in and sees the way you

1376
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 2: respond and it kind of rubs off on him, like, man,

1377
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 2: he's kinda he's responding this a way I probably wouldn't

1378
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 2: respond that way.

1379
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean at some point in his life.

1380
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 5: And I think as parents, the mistake we sometimes make

1381
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 5: is we try to protect our kids for everything. No,

1382
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 5: we can't protect them because it's coming no matter what.

1383
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 5: Like if you protect them till they're eighteen, the adversity

1384
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 5: or the crack that they have in their lives comes

1385
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 5: when they're thirty, when they're forty, So it's about just

1386
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 5: teaching them how to respond to it. And I think

1387
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 5: for me, like, if I've done one thing, well, I

1388
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 5: hope that after every game I've ever coached, win or lose.

1389
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 5: When I've been I've been coach of the Year and

1390
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 5: I've been fired, Yeah, like be the same guy, you know,

1391
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 5: like come home after the game and don't take it

1392
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 5: out on your kids, don't take it out on your life.

1393
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 5: Don't don't know and talk to me like if I

1394
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 5: say that my true per like I love football is

1395
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 5: my passion. My purpose in life, I think is to

1396
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 5: be a great man, a great husband.

1397
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: Great father.

1398
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 5: So if I say that, I got to live up

1399
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 5: to that, and I have to live up to it

1400
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 5: in the hardest of moments, like the day after I

1401
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 5: got fired, Like did I, you know, did I take

1402
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 5: my kids to school or did I sit home and

1403
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 5: feel sorry for myself? Like let them see what it

1404
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 5: means to truly be a man, to truly be the

1405
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 5: person you say you are in the hardest of times.

1406
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 8: And so that's that's what I try to do.

1407
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 5: And I tried to lean into it, and I try

1408
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 5: to have the conversations with my son because you know,

1409
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 5: when I was at tempolet I remember we beat Penn State,

1410
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 5: we ranked walking down the street, he was younger and

1411
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 5: someone was like, coach, Rul, I love you, and I'd

1412
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 5: always say to him is that real, and say, wow,

1413
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 5: didn't you love that?

1414
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 8: So it's not real. Is that real? It's not real.

1415
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 5: What's real to me is that my players say, you know,

1416
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 5: coach did the best he could for me. My coaches

1417
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 5: say that, and my family says that. And if I

1418
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 5: teach that to my kids, you know, I don't want

1419
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 5: my kids growing up thinking the world, you know, how

1420
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 5: the world sees them as who they really are. Who

1421
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 5: they really are is what they do when no one's watching,

1422
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 5: you know, Like I got my Twitter game. I'm trying

1423
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 5: to perfect my Twitter game. It's not very good, but

1424
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 5: I'm trying right now. That's but that's not who I am.

1425
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 5: It's just something fun that I do. Like who am

1426
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 5: I in my darkest of moments, my toughest of moments?

1427
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 8: And then who? Who are the people in your lives

1428
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 8: or show up in those moments?

1429
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 5: There was you know, think about this in the NFL

1430
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 5: there were there were players on the Panthers who drove

1431
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 5: to my house just to check in on me and

1432
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 5: my family. That's all like like, that's like it's so

1433
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 5: like it didn't work out for me, but I know

1434
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 5: I had some sort of an impact at least on somebody.

1435
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 5: It wasn't perfect, but if they see that, if my

1436
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 5: kids see that, then hopefully they live a life and

1437
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 5: your kids live a life where it's like, you know what,

1438
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 5: we're gonna have adversity.

1439
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 8: How do we handle it?

1440
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're when you're a head coach of a team.

1441
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: Now on the other side, you have to actually go

1442
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: on fire these guys and your son being eighteen years old.

1443
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: Has your son ever stepped in and been like, hey,

1444
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 1: I love this person or I love or why would.

1445
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 3: You do that player?

1446
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: Like a player, Like if you had if you had

1447
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: to cut a player, and like your son was like

1448
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: a big fan of was I'm sure he would come

1449
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: to the practices and meet these guys, and as all

1450
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: kids are, they kind of get drawn to one or

1451
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: two players and sometimes you have this ta goodbye to

1452
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: those one or two players, Like how do you handle

1453
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: that with your son?

1454
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 5: Really hard And honestly, if you have a if there

1455
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 5: was a drawback for me as a pro coach, is

1456
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 5: that I really struggled with that, Like after being a

1457
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 5: college coach for a long time, like I was used

1458
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 5: to like, you know, when you're a coach, you can

1459
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 5: you're kind of you're kind of taking this path, but

1460
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 5: you see where the end could be you see the

1461
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 5: potential in somebody, like, hey, in three or four years,

1462
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna pour into that person.

1463
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 8: Knowing I get in the NFL.

1464
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 5: Man, I was like, it's Saturday after a walkthrough and

1465
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 5: they want GM walks down like, hey, we got to

1466
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 5: make a roster move.

1467
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 8: Who do you want to get rid of? And it's like,

1468
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 8: oh my gosh.

1469
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: Well they phrased it to you like that.

1470
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: They usually don't is it sorry, I hate to cut

1471
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: you off, But if a GM walks down, he's like,

1472
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: we had to cut a guy.

1473
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 3: Who do you want to who do you want to cut?

1474
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes it's like, hey, we need to make a

1475
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 5: move here is it this guy or this guy?

1476
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: How do you see it?

1477
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 5: Or we got to you know, sometimes they're like hey,

1478
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 5: let's get you know, every place is probably different, but

1479
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 5: you know, I work for some great gms and they

1480
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 5: always wanted to like, hey, Matt, how do I work?

1481
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 5: You know, let's work together. But I I just had

1482
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 5: a hard time with that relationship part of it, cause

1483
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 5: it's like there's always this wallet between you and the

1484
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 5: player because when you walk down the hallway, they're like, hey,

1485
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 5: that's the guy that's eventually gonna cut me, and it's

1486
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 5: gonna come to an end at some point. You know,

1487
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 5: I had the unique perspectives of a couple guys I

1488
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 5: had coached in college were playing for me in the NFL.

1489
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 5: So I had this one relationship with them as our

1490
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 5: college coach as being like when they look back Ianidis,

1491
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 5: and I taught me more than I'm preparing to be

1492
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 5: a really good college coach, because Matt taught me a

1493
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 5: lot after having played for me in college and then

1494
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 5: gone through being in the NFL for seven years, and

1495
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 5: he trusted me like him and I would sit there

1496
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 5: and just kind of talk, and he would talk.

1497
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 3: To me about what it felt like perspective.

1498
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,959
Speaker 8: He's awesome, and he said things to me that changed

1499
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 8: my coaching style. Like I didn't.

1500
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 5: I didn't take into account because I can just not

1501
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 5: look at my Twitter. I don't take into account what

1502
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 5: it's like for a twenty four year old guy. Like

1503
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 5: one of the things I think's wrong with the NFL

1504
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 5: is every play is graded, like every play is greated

1505
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 5: by someone else, and so like you know, oh my

1506
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 5: good goodness. And so I'm not talking about anyone. I

1507
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 5: want to get myself crust on this whatever, but like

1508
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 5: guys are coming off the game and it's like, you know,

1509
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 5: the world is telling them whether they played what good

1510
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 5: or they played.

1511
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 8: Bad, and no one really knows.

1512
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 5: Like maybe when I could grade the film, we're two coaches,

1513
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 5: we might disagree. So the amount of pressure, the amount

1514
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 5: of stress and anxiety on these guys is overwhelming. And

1515
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 5: you know, the locker room and the coaching staff, it

1516
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 5: has to be a safe player. You have to come

1517
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 5: in and you know we can coach you. But you know, Matt,

1518
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 5: Matt would Matt did a great job of teaching me, Like, hey, Matt, Matt,

1519
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 5: these guys are these guys.

1520
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 3: Are a lot of pressure.

1521
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 5: They're under a lot of pressure social media wise, a

1522
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 5: lot of pressure like with their families. Like let's let's

1523
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 5: let's build a space where we can coach them hard,

1524
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 5: but we can also we can also coach them the

1525
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 5: right way, you know. And so I think, as I

1526
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 5: come back to college, I'm seeing the same thing, man,

1527
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 5: Like everything these guys do, it's it's especially you know

1528
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 5: in major college football, it's it's seen. And so wanted

1529
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 5: to make sure it's a place where we push them

1530
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 5: but also kind of a safe space as well, where

1531
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 5: you can make a mistake and know that you're still

1532
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 5: cared about.

1533
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, besides the cutting part, it seems like college is

1534
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: much more ruthless. The fan base is go way harder,

1535
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: Like I don't know how it is at Nebraska, but

1536
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: Michigan will skin you alive if you they think you

1537
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: had a bad game or something like that. And that

1538
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: is that is tough when you're a college player. And

1539
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the coaching staffs too well, Like in

1540
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: the wintertime that you start doing those six am morning workouts,

1541
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: guys are killing you. And I feel like just the

1542
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: process of college is much harder than process of the NFL.

1543
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: The games are obviously more difficult in the NFL, but

1544
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: it is a long time to be around those kids.

1545
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 3: He's around them all the time.

1546
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how it changes now because and I

1547
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: I had guys from Michigan say, hey, I'm off the

1548
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: whole month of March. I'm thinking to myself, we never

1549
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: had a month off. Did you ever a month off?

1550
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 3: I think it was like May, not like a month.

1551
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 3: We'd have three weeks off. Oh shit, I never had

1552
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 3: that what they call like fifth semester in between like

1553
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 3: the end of the spring and.

1554
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yah, yeah, Oh I never had anything like that

1555
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 2: in the spring ball until you start summer workouts, there's

1556
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: always like a three week thinkuse. So some guys can

1557
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 2: go back to class and they got to take like

1558
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 2: three or four hours of one class per day just

1559
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 2: to get that credit. Some guys wouldn't have to do it.

1560
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: Oh they from your home with a workout program for

1561
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 2: like three weeks.

1562
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: You missed out.

1563
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 3: I missed out big time.

1564
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: I was in school always stooped you bro, Hey, you

1565
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: were in school always you know? Yeah, them grades weren't

1566
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: the best. I was the king of two point zero.

1567
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: I made a very a plan, a choice, and that

1568
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: is it when I got to college. But it is

1569
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel like you're dealing with with different maturity levels

1570
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: as well.

1571
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 3: I mean, the kids are eighteen years old.

1572
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: You're basically like you have to do a gudget of

1573
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: a good job of implementing the offense defens of special teams.

1574
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: But you're also your job is on the line with

1575
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty two year olds. Like does that add

1576
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: a level of stress to you or is it more

1577
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: of like, hey, we get to mold in a certain

1578
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: way as well.

1579
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1580
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 5: I think I think for me like being in the

1581
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 5: NFL and seeing guys every week that I had coached

1582
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 5: playing on other teams. I think having a chance to

1583
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 5: coach some of them, and then after you get fired,

1584
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 5: like those guys reaching out to you, like you know,

1585
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 5: I've always said, you know, my sort of my core

1586
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 5: philosophy is I want every player that plays for us

1587
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 5: to look back and say, like, you know what, playing

1588
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 5: for them made my life a little bit better, whether

1589
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 5: it's you know what, I've got to play in the NFL,

1590
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 5: I got a great degree. They taught me something and

1591
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 5: so sometimes when you go through that, like sometimes you

1592
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 5: don't know how people feel about you till you're dead.

1593
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 5: When you get fired publicly like I did, a lot

1594
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 5: of guys reached out to me and it meant a

1595
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 5: lot to me, and I was like, you know, I

1596
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 5: crave that.

1597
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 3: I want to get back to that.

1598
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 5: I think the good thing for me coming to Nebraska

1599
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 5: is it's my fourth head coaching job in eleven years.

1600
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 5: Like the mistake I made early on, I'm almost embarrassed

1601
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,439
Speaker 5: about things I did at Temple, but I've learned. I've

1602
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 5: I've mastered kind of that craft of working with those

1603
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 5: guys over time, I hope, and so like I want

1604
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 5: to go there, I want to push them, I want

1605
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 5: to coach them. I'm old school, like we're gonna we're

1606
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 5: gonna practice hard, and I'm gonna coach them hard. But

1607
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 5: that doesn't ever have to that doesn't I can demand them.

1608
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 5: I don't have to demean any anyone.

1609
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 3: I don't have to.

1610
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 5: If I look back, even in my time in Carolina,

1611
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 5: I feel like there's only one time that I truly regret.

1612
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 5: But really, I don't think I've ever ever threw anybody

1613
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 5: under the bus. Like I don't think I ever said like, well,

1614
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 5: we just don't have this, or we don't have that,

1615
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 5: or it's this guy's fault. I tried to always made

1616
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 5: for some awkward moments because sometimes I was probably trying

1617
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 5: to overprotect the guys.

1618
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 3: But I always feel like that's my job.

1619
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 5: Is that, Like you want to be a leader, get

1620
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 5: out front man, like take the bullets for your guys,

1621
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 5: and we'll hope that your guys respond for you. And

1622
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 5: so I think if I do that, I'll have a

1623
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 5: chance to affect some of those guys' lives. And as

1624
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 5: I built my staff, I built a staff that I trust,

1625
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 5: like I have fourteen former players working for me in

1626
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 5: some way. I got three guys from the play for

1627
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 5: me at the Panthers, even like working in different areas.

1628
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 5: I got guys from Carol, from Carolin, I got guys

1629
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 5: from Temple, from Baylor. I'm not hiring them because they're

1630
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 5: my friends. I'm hiring them because I trust them, like

1631
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 5: they're gonna work hard for the players, and I think

1632
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 5: that's what the guys need. They need people they can

1633
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 5: look up to and they can help them through the

1634
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 5: trials and tribulations of being eighteen nineteen twenty twenty one.

1635
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: That one time he regret in Carolina. Are you free

1636
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: to talk about that?

1637
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1638
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 5: No, absolutely. You know, Cam Newton's one of my favorite

1639
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 5: favorite players I've ever been around, Like the brutal honesty

1640
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 5: that he would share with me, the conversations.

1641
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 8: Every Tuesday, him and I would meet for an hour.

1642
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 5: We played Buffalo and we called a play and it

1643
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 5: was four fourth and one. We went for it and

1644
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 5: Cam threw the bubble out. There was incomplete and after

1645
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 5: the game they asked me, like what happened? And I

1646
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 5: wasn't even thinking about it with Cam, you know what

1647
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I was thinking about it more like frustrated

1648
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 5: with us as coaches that we had that, you know,

1649
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 5: and so we're thinking that's going to be a quarterback run,

1650
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 5: get a yard.

1651
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 3: You know.

1652
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 5: They rotated the safeties, which changed the mic point. So

1653
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 5: Cam knew he was in trouble. So Cam's such a

1654
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 5: high level thinker, he knew it. So he threw the

1655
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 5: bubble out. So when they asked me afterwards, I said,

1656
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 5: we didn't call that to throw the bubble, Like I

1657
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 5: didn't want to throw a bubble there. Right next time,

1658
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my gosh. You know, sometimes they beat

1659
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 5: up coaches, you know, they beat up Zach Wilson after

1660
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 5: the Jets game. They beat up coaches with I wish

1661
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 5: people knew what it felt like to go have your

1662
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 5: adrenaline at like two hundred and have your heart rate

1663
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 5: of like one ninety, and you know, you go walking

1664
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 5: in and some media person's like, here's this. They're gona

1665
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 5: ask you this, They're gonna ask you this, They're gonna

1666
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 5: ask you this, and you have about eight seconds to

1667
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 5: get ready for the postgame press conference. And then that's

1668
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 5: one time for me, it just got away from me,

1669
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 5: and I didn't mean I apologize to Cam.

1670
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 8: He was great, I mean, ultimate professional's coach.

1671
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 5: I got it, but I just hated it, you know,

1672
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 5: because it came across like I was saying that about him,

1673
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 5: and there's no guy like that guy was there at

1674
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 5: eleven o'clock at night, and that guy was there at

1675
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 5: five o'clock in the morning, like Cam Newton was a grinder.

1676
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 5: And so that's the last thing I wanted to do

1677
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 5: was put him on the spot. And it just came

1678
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 5: out that way. And you know, it's hard to put

1679
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 5: the toothpaste back in, yeah, and the bottle after that.

1680
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 5: But you know, it's just sometimes I let my frustration

1681
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 5: get me one time because it was mad because I

1682
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 5: thought we had a chance and uh, you know, we

1683
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 5: just made a bad play.

1684
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 3: Call probably damn dud. Why don't you think it worked

1685
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 3: out in Carolina for me? Yeah?

1686
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 5: You know, I think I think I took over kind

1687
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 5: of a tough situation. Like you know, there's a lot

1688
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 5: of Hall of famers on that team that were that

1689
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 5: were leaving, and you know, right off the bat, you know,

1690
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 5: you know, they end up letting Cam go and then

1691
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 5: Luke retired, and so I think if I look back,

1692
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 5: I would have just tried to do it faster. You know,

1693
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 5: I would have tried to. I was trying to be

1694
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 5: a little more aggressive in free agency. I had tried

1695
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 5: a big trade, but that wasn't really the plan. I'm

1696
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 5: kind of a loyal guy. Like if you tell me,

1697
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 5: like this is how I want to do it, then

1698
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it that way, and I'm gonna take

1699
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 5: responsibility for it, even if maybe it's not always what

1700
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 5: I agree with. Like if we say, hey, we're doing

1701
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 5: it this way, we'll do it. So I just you know,

1702
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 5: I never got the offense going. Like we we went

1703
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 5: from like the worst defense in the league the first year,

1704
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 5: we were second. The second year, I thought the defense

1705
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 5: was coming on. And even this year, like I was

1706
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 5: proud the way they played down the stretch, like they

1707
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 5: played well enough and Steve did a great job.

1708
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 8: But I knew that team.

1709
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 5: Like if you go back to my press conferences earlier,

1710
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 5: I said, guys, we just signed Baker, like just give

1711
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 5: him a chance that we have to play, Like you know,

1712
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 5: a lot of teams start off one and three, one

1713
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 5: and four and they kind of make a run. You

1714
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 5: saw that this year with some teams. So I just

1715
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 5: thought once they won a couple games, the pressure would

1716
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 5: come off. I thought we got past the forty nine ers,

1717
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 5: because that's a pretty good team. But you know, it

1718
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 5: wasn't for me, And it was one of those things

1719
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 5: where had picked up so much steam, Like the fan

1720
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 5: base was pretty agitated about me at the end of

1721
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 5: last year. They were agitated about me, and once that happens,

1722
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 5: it's it's really hard to stop it. So yeah, there's

1723
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 5: all kinds of things like what if we'd have done this,

1724
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 5: what if we would have done that. But I kind

1725
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 5: of tried to do in the NFL what I did

1726
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 5: in college, which was like a slow build to have

1727
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 5: a really good team. Whoever gets that job, I think

1728
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 5: they have a pretty good roster. I mean, you got

1729
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 5: Brian Burns, DJ Moore, Derreck Brown, the offensive lines.

1730
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 8: You was drafted Dicky last year.

1731
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 5: You know, of course the Corbett towards ACL, but Taylor

1732
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 5: Moten's on a long term contract. I think like twenty

1733
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 5: to twenty two starters are under contract next year. So

1734
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 5: I think it's a job that people should take because

1735
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 5: they'll they'll have they have a pretty good roster there

1736
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 5: and a good culture in that locker room.

1737
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: When you when you first get in there and you

1738
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: said be more aggressive in free agency, bigger trade, Like

1739
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: how much of influence did you have in those things

1740
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: with the GM, Like like, I don't know how things

1741
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: work outside of the Titans. I was only with the Titans,

1742
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: but it seemed like John Robinson like he was running

1743
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: the show and that's and that's what it was.

1744
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 3: And I don't I don't know how it usually worked

1745
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 3: with a head coach at a GM.

1746
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 5: I think, you know, so I had I was the

1747
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 5: head coach basically was there a head coach for two

1748
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 5: years in five games? I had two GMS in two years,

1749
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 5: so you know, obviously you have one and then you're

1750
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 5: trying to work with another one. I had Barty Hernie,

1751
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 5: who's awesome, and the Scott Fitters as classy a dude

1752
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 5: as there is. There's not one like major trade we

1753
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 5: could have had that we didn't do, Like, oh, we

1754
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 5: should have built the triggered on it. More like looking back,

1755
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 5: it's like, hey, if you only have two years, man,

1756
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 5: let's let's go.

1757
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 3: Let's go shoot our shit up. Yeah, you could have

1758
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 3: been under the influence that you had time.

1759
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like well yeah, so like for me, if you say, like, hey,

1760
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 5: let's I just want this kind of built over three

1761
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 5: or four years.

1762
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 3: We'll build over three or four years. If it's two years,

1763
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 3: it's two years.

1764
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 5: And so I would have probably just probably maybe made

1765
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 5: a trade, maybe traded up for a quarterback.

1766
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 8: Or something like that.

1767
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 5: You go back over. We tried a lot of things

1768
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 5: at quarterback. You know, we traded for Sam. I was

1769
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 5: happy to see the way Sam played down the stretch,

1770
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 5: you know. We traded for Baker. We we brought Cam back,

1771
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 5: you know. So we tried a bunch of different things.

1772
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 5: So you know, it just it just wasn't Maybe it

1773
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 5: wasn't meant to be. Wasn't the right time, maybe the

1774
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 5: right place. But I like the players there, I mean

1775
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 5: I really do. Like I I turned on the forty

1776
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 5: nine ers. I love watching Christian run wild, like I

1777
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 5: love watching the Panthers play, Like I could watch Frankie

1778
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 5: Lolul who play all day long. Man, he's one of

1779
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 5: the best playing football players I've ever been around. So

1780
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 5: I had good memories from it, but just just didn't

1781
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 5: quite work out the way I thought it would.

1782
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 3: Was It like seeing Christian McCaffrey go to the Niners.

1783
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 5: So so you know, it's funny. He he got trade.

1784
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 5: I texted him right away, like because I got fired.

1785
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 5: And also in a week later he gets traded and yeah,

1786
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 5: and he was like, hey, he said, he said, he said, hey,

01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 5: he called me.

1788
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 8: He's like, I'll call you right back, So don't call me.

1789
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 8: You got enough going on.

1790
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 5: So just if you ever need me, call me. And

1791
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 5: he's like, you know, he's such a great tude man.

1804
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 5: was just my wife is one of those wives like

1805
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 5: even in the NFL. Just even in the NFL, she

1806
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 5: would have a different position group over every Thursday during

1807
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 5: the season. Never managed to not like hey, we need you,

1808
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 5: like DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson. It was like twelve

1809
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 5: fifteen at night, She's like, guys.

1810
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 3: You have to leave. It's time to go.

1811
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 5: Like those guys would come over, we would kick it

1812
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 5: and hang out. So she felt part of the team.

1813
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 5: And so I get fired. She doesn't get to see anyone,

1814
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 5: Like there's no closure for her either.

1815
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1816
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 5: So so Christian walks up, hugs her, hugs Bryant and

1817
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 5: says something I'll keep you know, just said some really

1818
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 5: positive things to them. They kind of needed that, and

1819
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 5: that's that's that's who he is.

1820
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 3: Man. So like when I see what he's.

1821
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 5: Doing right now, I'm fired up. I'm fired up for

1822
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 5: him because he deserves this opportunity. You know, he got

1823
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 5: run a lot last year at Stanford, his first couple

1824
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 5: of years in the NFL, Like his percentage of carries,

1825
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 5: I mean was elite. So unfortunately during my time, you know,

1826
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,839
Speaker 5: he had some injuries. I feel like though his body rested,

1827
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 5: and you know, he didn't make all he didn't make

1828
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl this year.

1829
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 3: I told himself, well, just settle for being this Super

1830
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 3: Bowl MVP. How about that? I think he could.

1831
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and my first overall draft pick in the Fantasy nice. Yeah,

1832
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 2: I was still late.

1833
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: When we played the Panthers, it was always like that's

1834
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: you stop him, you win the game. Like he was

1835
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: like a ridiculous percentage of touches like running and catching

1836
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: the ball.

1837
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 3: Guy's elite, truly elite. He is what.

1838
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 2: Being the head coach there and then seeing him get

1839
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 2: traded is it kind of like what are what?

1840
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 3: Why would the Panthers trade him away? He's the best player. Yeah,

1841
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 3: I'm afraid to touch.

1842
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: But I think I just think that all the question

1843
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: because he is. Yeah, because once they fired you and

1844
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: they got rid of him, with everyone's like, yo, what

1845
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: are the Panthers doing?

1846
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 8: And I think that's a lot of credit to the

1847
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 8: guys in the lock him because they made a run.

1848
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 8: Like I told him that. When I got fired, I

1849
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 8: went to you know, I went and talked to the

1850
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 8: team after I got fired.

1851
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 3: And it's just not happened.

1852
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I you know, and mister Tepper gave me

1853
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 5: the opportunity, which I appreciate, and I told and I

1854
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 5: and I went in. I talked about the game first,

1855
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 5: like I went in like like they didn't know I

1856
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 5: was fired yet. I went and I said, here, here's

1857
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 5: what I see from the game, Here's how I think

1858
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 5: it affects us. And then I said, hey, I'm not

1859
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 5: gonna be your coach anymore. I said, but you know,

1860
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 5: all I ask every guy every year is like, hey,

1861
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,799
Speaker 5: in the offseason, handle your free agency, handle your business,

1862
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 5: handle your money, do what's right for you. But once

1863
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 5: we sign up for the year, just just just just

1864
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 5: ride it out to the end of the year full board.

1865
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 5: So I was here for you guys the whole year.

1866
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 5: I'm being asked to leave, but that doesn't mean I'm

1867
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 5: not in it with you. Like I hope you guys win,

1868
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 5: and I expected you guys to win, because when I

1869
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 5: started the year off, I looked at Tampa Bay, and

1870
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 5: I looked at Atlanta the first couple of games, and

1871
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 5: I looked at New Orleans. I said, guys, we're gonna

1872
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 5: have a chance to beat all these teams. Now, I

1873
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 5: don't know about the rest of you know, FC West

1874
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 5: and all that, how they're but I thought we had

1875
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 5: a chance. And so they came down the stretch. Credit

1876
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 5: to Steve Wilkes. He's a really good coach. Kept them

1877
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 5: together and the guys did a good job and they

1878
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 5: had a chance at the end to go win it.

1879
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 5: So that's good experience for them because they might have

1880
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 5: a chance to make a run next year if they

1881
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 5: can keep that, you know, team together.

1882
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: Steve took over his intermhead coach at the time. Yeah,

1883
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: and so they're still trying to find a head coach now.

1884
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: They are him, Yeah, he is he a candidate or no.

1885
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 3: I don't They don't, They don't know.

1886
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he Usually they say like hey, this Internet,

1887
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be blah blah ball. We're gonna start

1888
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: interviewing these guys and.

1889
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.

1890
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 2: You speak on coach Wolkes for a second, just because

1891
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 2: I know, back when I was in Washington, I feel

1892
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 2: like he's been a name that's been in the circuit

1893
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 2: for years now.

1894
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 3: On being a head coaching candidate.

1895
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 5: Well, he went out to Arizona, it was the head

1896
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 5: coach in Arizona and just kind of in that transition, right,

1897
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 5: and like the same thing I talk about sometimes you

1898
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 5: just kind of get caught up you're you're a great

1899
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 5: head coach. It's just the right the wrong place at

1900
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 5: the wrong time. I think Steve right around him After

1901
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 5: about a month, I remember saying to him like, Hey,

1902
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know what will happen here, but

1903
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 5: if I can ever help you in this, because I

1904
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 5: just could tell his leadership and his command and so

1905
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 5: like they're gonna go through the head coach and searches

1906
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 5: right now, and they just went through it in college.

1907
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 5: You're gonna go through the NFL and they're gonna talk

1908
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 5: about all these really cool coordinators and to me that

1909
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 5: you know, being a head coach of being the coordinators

1910
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 5: about like you know, you're both doctors, but you know

1911
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 5: one's a one's a you know, cardiologist, and ones an oncologist.

1912
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 3: Like like it's completely different.

1913
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,759
Speaker 5: Like the things you deal with as a head coach,

1914
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 5: especially in the NFL, you're dealing with the GM, you're

1915
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 5: dealing with the owner, you're dealing with you know, player issues,

1916
01:11:58,160 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 5: you're dealing you're dealing with all these things. You're dealing

1917
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 5: with game management, you're dealing with situational football. Steve, I

1918
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 5: think is great at all those things. I think he's

1919
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 5: an elite head coach. He has experience. You know a

1920
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 5: lot of times you get fired as head coach and

1921
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 5: they don't bring you back. Well, you got all. You

1922
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 5: have experience. You know you've seen what worked, you've seen

1923
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 5: what doesn't work. And the coaches I look up to

1924
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 5: the most Andy Reid, the Bill Belichicks, those guys, by

1925
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 5: the way, those are the first guys that reach out

1926
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 5: to a guy like me when I get fired.

1927
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 3: Those are the first guys. That's awesome.

1928
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 8: I mean, like they're classiest, but like they went somewhere.

1929
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 5: They were head coaches, they went through what I went through,

1930
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 5: and they're better at best days were ahead of them.

1931
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 8: So that's why when I came to Nebraska, I was like,

1932
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 8: can we do it here?

1933
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 5: I walked around, I looked around, saw the fan base,

1934
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 5: saw the support, so all everything. I said, I'm gonna

1935
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 5: come here, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to make sure

1936
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 5: my best days are ahead of me, not behind me.

1937
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy, can I do it here?

1938
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1939
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 3: I believe he can.

1940
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: But if you look at your history as a head coach,

1941
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,839
Speaker 1: it's it's a slow burn. And then all of a sudden,

1942
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: I were at Temple, Were you guys three and nine

1943
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: first year. First you were two and ten, two and ten. Yeah,

1944
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: but then after after a while you said, you guys

1945
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: be Penn State. You guys were ranked right and stuff

1946
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 1: like that. So how do you see it going in

1947
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: Nebraska the first year? Cause two years ago best three

1948
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: and nine team in the in the NCAA argue with that, well, well,

1949
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:09,839
Speaker 1: I don't think it's even arguable anymore.

1950
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 3: People still like to argue it, yeah, because people like

1951
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 3: to punch up.

1952
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's just yeah, it's factual. And so then

1953
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 1: last year it just didn't go as well as possible.

1954
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: There's a lot of turmoil. Obviously, Scott Frosketty fired earlier

1955
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 1: in the year. You guys lose off American soil, it

1956
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 1: does not count. But that's maybe put you in a

1957
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a spin, right, So now, like you're

1958
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,759
Speaker 1: looking at your roster. One of your big time leaders

1959
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: was a Garrett Nelson, that's his name goes to the NFL,

1960
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: who like, when we spoke to him in spring, he

1961
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,919
Speaker 1: was like lived, breathed corn, like he was the example

1962
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: of like, yes, black shirt, yeah, black shirts, and so

1963
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: who do you I mean, we're not gonna talk about

1964
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 1: your roster, because I don't even know the guys on there,

1965
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: and I would never ask you to speak about your guys,

1966
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: But how do you see it go your guys? This guys,

1967
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: how do you see it going in this first year? Yeah?

1968
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: Because you got some winnable games the first three games.

1969
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: That fourth one is gonna be tough, but that you

1970
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 1: can you have an opportunity to possibly be three and

1971
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: l going into the bus and bowl.

1972
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 3: That's you know what I'll say this.

1973
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 5: I always look like I always said to myself, when

1974
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 5: you go to a place, the first thing you have

1975
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 5: to do is established, like the foundations of how do

1976
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 5: we work? So I went to Temple had been I

1977
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 5: had been an assistant coach the year before. I left

1978
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 5: and went one year of the Giants and came right

1979
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 5: back to be the head coach. But we were moving

1980
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 5: up in conference. They were going from the Mac to

1981
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 5: the kind of the biggie slash American as it was

1982
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 5: for me. So there was a there was like a

1983
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 5: we go up in conference something you know hard. So

1984
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 5: we went to high school four and now you're going

1985
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,440
Speaker 5: up to five as so like we were playing better competitions.

1986
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 5: The roster had to catch up, so you're two and ten.

1987
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 3: I played.

1988
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 5: I just played all the freshmen. I said, I'm gonna

1989
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 5: play these guys, and then four years were gonna win

1990
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 5: a championship, and we did right. I played the seat

1991
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 5: saying I played the seniors that wanted to do it

1992
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 5: my way, and some of them were awesome. I just

1993
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 5: inserted a lot of the young guys as well. When

1994
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 5: I went to Baylor, there was I think forty five

1995
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 5: scholarship players. We had three offensive linemen. I moved the

1996
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 5: two tight ends. I moved one to center and I

1997
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 5: moved one to left tackle. And so I was coming

1998
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 5: taken over after a scandal, like we were one and eleven.

1999
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 5: I mean, but it was it was hard, but that

2000
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 5: was more about what the out the.

2001
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 3: Experil was more of like a welcome mat in the

2002
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 3: Big twelve. Yeah.

2003
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 5: Well time well, and so it's just I was taking

2004
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 5: over a hard place at a hard time. I was

2005
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 5: just so I don't want this to be a slow burn.

2006
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 5: I want to start off because I feel like that

2007
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 5: year for them was last year. And the thing that

2008
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 5: I respect about the team because because this opportunity was

2009
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 5: around for a while and I was just watching games

2010
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 5: and what I respected about Nebraska was the players. They

2011
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 5: had just lost their coach, They had some tough losses

2012
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 5: along the way, but they just kept battling, And like,

2013
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 5: to me, that's half the battle. Like if you can

2014
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 5: get a group of people to commit to playing hard

2015
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,719
Speaker 5: and fighting even when you're kind of out of bowl contention.

2016
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 5: Like if you go to Iowa the last game of

2017
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 5: the year and Iowa has to win that to go

2018
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 5: to the Big Ten West and you beat them, there's

2019
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 5: something in that locker.

2020
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 3: Room so solid. It was both that.

2021
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I don't know, I don't know how good

2022
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 5: we are. I don't only think, but like I just

2023
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 5: know this. I know that we're starting from a place

2024
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 5: of like a big, physical looking group, and I think

2025
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 5: we've done a good job recruiting so far. And you know,

2026
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 5: they change football on me and during my time away. Now,

2027
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 5: like we're already up to like thirty two players that

2028
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 5: we can sign. Like when I got to Bailer, I

2029
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 5: can only sign twenty five twenties. You know, I can

2030
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 5: find a way to sneak somebody, and they're kind of

2031
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 5: some unique rules, but I have more options available to

2032
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 5: me right now, So I'm excited, you know, I I

2033
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 5: just want us to be the kind of a team,

2034
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 5: and sometimes it's hard when you have a fan base

2035
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 5: that's really passionate. I just wanted to be the kind

2036
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 5: of team that's really humble, like, hey, we feel like

2037
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 5: we can win every game. We also know we have

2038
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 5: a chance to lose every game. So let's just let's

2039
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 5: just work worry about today. Like I got guys talking

2040
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 5: to me about the bowl games next year, I'm like, WHOA,

2041
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 5: let's just go to the weight room.

2042
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Guys, Yeah, go to go eat cause I'll be handling that.

2043
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 3: No matter what, you guys are going to a bowl

2044
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 3: next year. No matter what, you guys will be in

2045
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 3: a ball. You're the bust and bawl. Bust and Bawl.

2046
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 3: We trained a bowl so we could be balls.

2047
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: So no matter what, you guys will be in a bowl.

2048
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:56,799
Speaker 1: So you talk about bail, you're walking into a situation.

2049
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 1: But if a scandal going on, it was an empty

2050
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: roster to say the did your mindset change when you

2051
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: walked into Nebraska and you're like, could we do this here?

2052
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: Because when you walk into Baylor, I'm sure there's a

2053
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: piece of you that's like this is a lot to

2054
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,600
Speaker 1: work with Yeah, this is a lot like how am

2055
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I going.

2056
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 3: To make this work?

2057
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm curious to why Nebraska? Like, again, you

2058
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 2: come off a head coaching job in the NFL. I'm

2059
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,560
Speaker 2: sure you got your once you got fired. It was

2060
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 2: like your name was everywhere for a lot of big

2061
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,839
Speaker 2: college jobs, and I'm just curious, like, yeah, why Nebraska?

2062
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 3: What was so enticing about it? Yeah?

2063
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 5: So to go there, I think for me, it's one

2064
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 5: thing to go somewhere and try to take a program

2065
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 5: to someplace they've never been. You know that this is

2066
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 5: getting some a program back to where it has been,

2067
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 5: and that's completely different because you know they have the resources.

2068
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 5: You know, they've been there before, they've seen that rare air.

2069
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 5: And so for me, it's like, Okay, they've done it,

2070
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 5: so we know that. So what are my questions? Well,

2071
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 5: do they have the facilities? Absolutely? Really, a big lesson

2072
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 5: that I've learned is to make sure that I am

2073
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 5: my plan is similar to the plan of the people

2074
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 5: that I'm around. You know what happened in the NFL.

2075
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 5: Like you, sometimes you have different views. And so when

2076
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 5: I talked to the athletic writer Trev Albert, who had

2077
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 5: played there, he believed in the same things I believed in.

2078
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 5: So it's not like I'm trying to convince them, No,

2079
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 5: this is the way to do it.

2080
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 3: Trust me.

2081
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 5: Like He's like, no, Matt, I see exactly what you

2082
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 5: how you feel. Ted Carter, who's the president of the university,

2083
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,839
Speaker 5: Like when I talked to him, he was the admiral

2084
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 5: at Navy when they were running, when they were rolling

2085
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 5: in the triple option, and we went down there and

2086
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 5: beat them, so he knew what my teams look like

2087
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 5: at Temple. He was like, Matt, just build that team

2088
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 5: here like that physical. Like I want to run the

2089
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 5: ball and I want to play defense, and that's not

2090
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 5: some fan bases don't really like that. Like some fan

2091
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 5: bases like if you're not going no huddle spread, they

2092
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 5: don't want to come to the games. Nebraska people want

2093
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 5: us to run the football and play defense. They want

2094
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 5: us to dominate the line of scrimmers. They want us

2095
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 5: to be physical, and that's kind of who I've always been.

2096
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 5: So those things all came together. But the biggest question

2097
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 5: I had was can we recruit here? Like can I

2098
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 5: get players here? And I actually looked at Michigan, I

2099
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,839
Speaker 5: looked at Ohio, State looked at Penn State and whereas

2100
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 5: maybe maybe fifteen years ago Penn State or Ohio State,

2101
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 5: you know, most of their kids came from that state.

2102
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 5: Everyone's kind of recruited nationally now, right. So I went

2103
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 5: back and said, let's watch the kids. There's some really

2104
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 5: good football players Nebraska. I thought, hey, you know what,

2105
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 5: we can get players. Because if we get good players there,

2106
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 5: we'll coach them, I think, and we'll play hard and

2107
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 5: we'll find a way to win. And I took a shot,

2108
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 5: and my wife knew it the whole time. She's like,

2109
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 5: this is the place for you.

2110
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 3: Really?

2111
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've been married for twenty twenty four years,

2112
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 5: twenty going on twenty fi Like, I've learned to listen

2113
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 5: to her.

2114
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 3: She said, this is the place for you.

2115
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 5: This, this is where you fit because she knows the

2116
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 5: way I want to play football. I want to go

2117
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 5: out there and just make it a battle of physical wills.

2118
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 5: And I think that resonates with people in Nebraska.

2119
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you got to go hear voice Nebraska doing well.

2120
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to sit down a foundation you wanted,

2121
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: this is the way you want to play football. You

2122
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 1: go up in the locker room right, and the old

2123
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 1: line locker room in the Tenesseee Tians. That's speed off

2124
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: the ball, physical toughness, like those are foundational pieces. What

2125
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: do you what is day one implementation of making sure

2126
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: your foundation is set?

2127
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 3: At Nebraska?

2128
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 5: So I I have about four things I believe and

2129
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 5: then I'll talk about I had my first team meeting

2130
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 5: last night, and I'm almos, guys, I don't want cameras

2131
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,759
Speaker 5: in be a camera follow me around. I wanted always

2132
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 5: to be the players. But there's there's a there's a

2133
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,879
Speaker 5: book called The Greatest Salesman in the World biog Mandino.

2134
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 5: In it, they have ten scrolls and there's one called

2135
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,440
Speaker 5: the Scroll mark three. It's I will persist until I succeed.

2136
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,680
Speaker 5: And at one point it says, it's just long. You

2137
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 5: know if I read it to the team. I started

2138
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 5: off by reading it to the team. Yeah, And it

2139
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 5: basically says, you know, I am not a sheep. I

2140
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 5: refuse to walk talk. I think like a sheep. The

2141
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 5: slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. And it's so

2142
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 5: it's like I am a lion, like so like so.

2143
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 3: Like reading that out loud to me, I want to

2144
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 3: keep hearing this.

2145
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Like I can't.

2146
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 3: I can't do it. I have it on my phone.

2147
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 5: But but that's like my life first, like, and that

2148
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 5: goes back to I said what happened to me?

2149
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:41,759
Speaker 3: When I said happened, I got fired.

2150
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 5: It was like all these things I've been saying to

2151
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 5: players forever, Hey, control what you can control. I have

2152
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 5: this little saying like what's next, Like, Hey, what's whatever happened?

2153
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 3: Good Bye? What's next?

2154
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: One.

2155
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 8: I literally had to wake up every morning and.

2156
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 3: Go what's next? Control?

2157
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 5: So I I am so clear minded now, like hey, guys,

2158
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 5: like all we're gonna ask you guys to do not

2159
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 5: be perfect. I'm gonna be perfect. I'm just be a

2160
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 5: lion every day, attack everything in your life. And that's

2161
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 5: really how I see it. So you know our core

2162
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 5: values that we want to be tough, we want to

2163
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 5: be hard working, we want to be competitive. I mean

2164
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 5: I want them to compete at everything they do. I

2165
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 5: want them to work hard, and I want them to

2166
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 5: be tough. I want them to overcome overcome the excuses

2167
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 5: of life and just attack everything in their lives.

2168
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 3: And so if they are.

2169
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 5: Those three things, tough, are working, competitive, then we'll be well,

2170
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 5: we'll build a big physical team that's that sound and

2171
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 5: smart and accountable.

2172
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm just so, hey, hey, that was some fire ship. Yeah,

2173
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: Like that was from a book though with energy. Like

2174
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: some people can just read a book and be like,

2175
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: oh that's cool. But the way you said it, Hey,

2176
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: the boys are gonna play next year.

2177
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 3: What were when you did come into Nebraska.

2178
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 2: What were some things that you're like, all right, I'm

2179
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 2: gonna have to, you know, address these things, Like what

2180
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 2: were some issues coming into Nebraska that you identified that

2181
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 2: you you want to hit head on.

2182
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think the biggest thing for me is

2183
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 5: making sure that all the all the most up to

2184
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 5: date training and recovery modalities are part of our process,

2185
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 5: you know, like everything from massage work bodywork to cupping

2186
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 5: to scraping to sensory deprivation tanks.

2187
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 3: I really believe in all this stuff.

2188
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 5: I believe that one of the most important jobs for

2189
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 5: me is to make sure my players are as healthy

2190
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 5: as possible and the culture of recovery and regeneration all that,

2191
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 5: like either A, schools have a bunch of stuff but

2192
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 5: guys don't use it, or b they don't have it,

2193
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 5: And so I think, you know, one of the things

2194
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 5: I can do for these guys is really help them

2195
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 5: with that process. Like the reason I had a chance

2196
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 5: to be a head coach in the NFL was because

2197
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 5: I had so many guys in mind that were kind

2198
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 5: of later round drafted guys that went.

2199
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 3: To the NFL that were ready to be pros.

2200
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 5: And you know, anybody can get you to the NFL,

2201
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 5: but who can teach you how to be a pro. Like,

2202
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 5: who can get it to where you get a second contract.

2203
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 8: One of my.

2204
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 5: Goals for my guys is to always make five million

2205
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 5: dollars after the rookie contract. Like that to me is

2206
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 5: a goal, like get through your rookie contract, let's make

2207
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 5: five million more with your second contract, and then then

2208
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 5: after that it's all gravy.

2209
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 8: So I look at it like, how do I invest

2210
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 8: that into them?

2211
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 5: Well, I put all those we have all these resources,

2212
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 5: Let's not spend them on waterfalls for recruiting. Let's spend

2213
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 5: them on things that can help our guys train, let's recover,

2214
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 5: be as healthy as possible. And so that to me

2215
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 5: is something that if we do that at a high level,

2216
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 5: will really help our players because healthy team wins a

2217
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 5: lot more games.

2218
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 3: And so.

2219
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 5: That was one of the biggest things. And I just think,

2220
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 5: you know what, just be in there for the guys,

2221
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Like at the end of

2222
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 5: the day, Like, at the end of the day, I

2223
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 5: didn't I don't have to coach.

2224
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 8: Like I had four years left in my contract.

2225
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 5: I could have gone and done like a TV show maybe,

2226
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 5: or play golf or something.

2227
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm only coaching because Thailand.

2228
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: Whatever you want, Yeah, live your life. That's exactly right.

2229
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 5: So like I'm doing this because I truly feel like

2230
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 5: passionate about Hey, I want to work with young people,

2231
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 5: and I want to do it at a place that

2232
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 5: that that jibes with me, and that's why I found

2233
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 5: it Nebraska. So I think the best thing I can do, man,

2234
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,560
Speaker 5: is just really lock in with these guys. Because the

2235
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 5: hardest thing I said it to my the first time

2236
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 5: when I got hired, I say, hey, guys, listen, I

2237
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 5: know you guys. I know you guys didn't choose me,

2238
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 5: because I get that, so but just remember us, I

2239
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 5: chose you. I want to be here with you, guys,

2240
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 5: So I hope you stay. Very few guys going to

2241
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 5: the portal.

2242
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 3: I'm not one of those.

2243
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 8: I didn't walk in say, y'all need to get in

2244
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 8: the portal or changing all this those.

2245
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not bringing my own baggage, Louis. Those guys welcome.

2246
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 3: I care about them.

2247
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 5: Those guys care about Nebraska, right, and they're good kids.

2248
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 5: Like my son's eighteen, he's going. All I want for

2249
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 5: my son at eighteen is for him to go off

2250
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 5: and be around good people who care about him. All

2251
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 5: I went, So, shouldn't I do the same thing for

2252
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 5: the guys I'm coaching and recruit and I should be

2253
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 5: a good guy for them.

2254
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 3: If you do that, you win games.

2255
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 5: Like everyone thinks, well, if I get this may stuff,

2256
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 5: If you treat young people right and and give them

2257
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 5: what they need to be successful, you'll be successful as

2258
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 5: a team.

2259
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 3: I believe that.

2260
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 2: I don't mean to put you on the spot with this,

2261
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 2: but ultimately that's what this question is. But a lot

2262
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 2: of recruits and you know it like you sit in houses,

2263
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 2: you sit in these uh you know, you sit in

2264
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 2: living rooms, talk to parents and talk about.

2265
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 3: I chose you.

2266
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: What does that mean when you could easily have you know,

2267
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 2: maybe you get another opportunity to go back in the

2268
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 2: NFL after a couple of years. Yeah, or to Penn

2269
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 2: State your alm like, yeah, sure, yeah, Penn State your

2270
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 2: alma monitor. After like a couple of years of dominating

2271
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,799
Speaker 2: and winning to big the championships and natties at Nebraska,

2272
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 2: what if those shiny new toys come into your life

2273
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 2: to want to pluck you out and go back to

2274
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 2: the NFL.

2275
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

2276
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of guys like that's the

2277
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 2: whole big thing around the portal, right, It's it's a

2278
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 2: reason why players argue about all the nil stuff and

2279
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 2: everything else. Coaches get these opportunities to come in they

2280
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 2: establish themselves in the seat as a head coach. I

2281
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 2: know for me, you know, I like chose Nebraska because

2282
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 2: of the staff and like hindsight, like I've listened to

2283
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 2: Verbele talk about and everything else. You want to choose

2284
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 2: a school based on the school because you never know

2285
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 2: with some of the coaches. Yeah, speak on that because

2286
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 2: I know for me, like you could you could easily

2287
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 2: get me to go somewhere because I'm like, oh man,

2288
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: I want to play for boat plenty. But you know

2289
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: there are probably times where he might have left had

2290
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 2: he had the right opportunity.

2291
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 5: I think it's really hard because you know, I don't

2292
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 5: want to be a hypocrite because I've left twice. Yeah, okay,

2293
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 5: so I'll just say this, like, even after I left Temple,

2294
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 5: I went back like the next day and watch practice.

2295
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 5: I get rid of the ball game, and I got

2296
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 5: most of the guys were good with it. They understood

2297
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 5: like I came there. We built up from two to ten.

2298
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 5: We went to the championship game, we lost. I had

2299
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 5: a chance to take a bunch of jobs. I did,

2300
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 5: and I came back. We finished the deal. We won

2301
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 5: the championship the next year, and I felt like I did.

2302
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,719
Speaker 5: I left the place better than I found it, and

2303
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 5: I moved on to a new challenge, you know, to

2304
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 5: go to Baylor. And I think most of the guys

2305
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 5: were good with it. But it's still hard, right, So

2306
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 5: I get that. I went to Baylor and was like, okay,

2307
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 5: we took over a scander bit in program. We went

2308
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 5: one to eleven, and then we went six and seven

2309
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 5: and six, then we went eleven and three, went to

2310
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 5: the Sugar Bowl. I went to the conversation machine, went

2311
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 5: to the Sugar Bowl. So I think most times I've left,

2312
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 5: I've always gone for something like a step up in competition.

2313
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 5: So I think the guys got it. But I don't

2314
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 5: need to move anymore, you know, like I also have.

2315
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 5: I I've seen what it does to my kids, and

2316
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 5: I've seen what it does to my family to have

2317
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 5: to you know, like you know, to have to move

2318
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,639
Speaker 5: this many times. And so that was part of this deal,

2319
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 5: was like, hey, where can we go and be for

2320
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 5: a while. That being said, you know, I have to

2321
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 5: answer that question for recruits because I've done it.

2322
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 3: I've done it a couple of times.

2323
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 5: And you know, I don't I don't know that. I

2324
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,600
Speaker 5: don't know that I'm you know, I don't know that

2325
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 5: I'll ever go back to the NFL. I don't know

2326
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 5: that that's in my heart, Like I don't. I don't

2327
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 5: know if I'll ever reconcile the business part of it

2328
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 5: for me, Like it's just it just was really hard

2329
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 5: for me to cut players and to be involved in that,

2330
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 5: Like it just it just didn't connect with me like

2331
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 5: I thought of it. I loved when I was assistant

2332
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 5: online coach of the Giants and I was just in

2333
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 5: the room with the Fellas and Christine and David Deal

2334
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 5: and all those guys. I loved it, Like I loved

2335
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 5: that brotherhood, that community in there.

2336
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 3: I did not.

2337
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 5: The role that I was in was really hard for me.

2338
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 5: At Nebraska, I I am.

2339
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 3: I am.

2340
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 5: I get to make the decisions you know that I

2341
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 5: can make along with it those and I get to

2342
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 5: develop those guys and watch them grow. I think it's

2343
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 5: more who I was. I I believe in transfer portal.

2344
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 5: I believe guys should have a chance to go where

2345
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 5: they want to go. I believe in and I believe.

2346
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 5: I just think what happens is sometimes adults we take

2347
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 5: advantage of a rule meant to help a young person,

2348
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 5: we turn into something it doesn't have to be, Like,

2349
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 5: let's let's give guys an opportunity to make money off

2350
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 5: their name, Let's get guys, give guys an opportunity to

2351
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 5: go to school where they want to go to school.

2352
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 5: It's just not abuse it. You know, we're supposed to

2353
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 5: be the adults. We're supposed to set a good example.

2354
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 5: Like I shouldn't be calling a guy in your roster saying, hey,

2355
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 5: come play for me, Like if he's happy there, let

2356
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 5: him be happy there, I mean unhappy and he wants

2357
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 5: to go in the portal.

2358
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: Fine, all's fair in love and war though, well, meantimes

2359
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: you gotta do businesses.

2360
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 3: Business is being done.

2361
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, but like at the end of

2362
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 5: the day, like someone's gonna come recruit your guys' kids

2363
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 5: some day. Let's say they say the first thing I

2364
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 5: say is hey, I want to help you be the

2365
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 5: best man you can be to But then they start

2366
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 5: that off by the first thing they do is cheap.

2367
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

2368
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 5: I'm almost like like the money the wins that will

2369
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 5: come and go. When we're all old, we'll look back

2370
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 5: and say, like, you know, who was I? Not what

2371
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 5: did I do?

2372
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 3: But who?

2373
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 5: I really believe that who was I? And maybe it's

2374
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 5: good for me because, as I said, I've been I've

2375
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 5: won some coaching a Coach of the Year awards, I've

2376
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 5: been fired. I've seen both sides of it, and it's

2377
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 5: like there has to be something more other than just this.

2378
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna compete at the bighest level. I'm gonna

2379
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,719
Speaker 5: do everything I can. I just think, you know, sometimes

2380
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 5: when we do this, does we tamper with a kid

2381
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 5: to come here? Sometimes we mess their lives up. Sometimes

2382
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 5: we get them out of a good situation into a

2383
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 5: worse situation, and we're responsible for that as adults. So

2384
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 5: hopefully I'm doing it the right way. It's really hard

2385
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 5: because there's the lines are very blurred right now, and

2386
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 5: you know what's legal it's not. I just think I'll

2387
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 5: do whatever I can to win in Nebraska as long

2388
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 5: as it's both legal and ethical, if I can live

2389
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 5: with it, if I can say that's that's the right

2390
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 5: thing to do. We have some rules, like if I

2391
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 5: saw a junior in high school, I can't talk to him.

2392
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,680
Speaker 5: I think that's that doesn't make any sense to me.

2393
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 5: I can do I can't do that, but his agent

2394
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 5: can call me and say he needs five hundred thousand

2395
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 5: dollars to come here. Like there's some rules that are antiquated.

2396
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 5: I'm not worried about though. I'm talking about, you know,

2397
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 5: making sure that we put in young people's their their

2398
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 5: best interest at heart.

2399
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 8: Are we really doing that or not? Like, especially at

2400
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 8: a place like Nebraska.

2401
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 5: If you do that, the players, I believe they will,

2402
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 5: they will lay everything down for the corn Huskers.

2403
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 3: To win if we do that. Amen.

2404
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 1: So how do you navigate such as such a gray area?

2405
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Right now?

2406
01:29:58,120 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 3: With nil deals?

2407
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: Guys are getting money now and I don't believe coaches

2408
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:05,160
Speaker 1: can promise money, right, we can't promise money.

2409
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 3: But to get in.

2410
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: Nebraska, We've talked about this in the podcast. To get

2411
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: in Nebraska to where it used to be, there's got

2412
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: to be more of a selling point than Lincoln. Because

2413
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: it's the Internet lives. You can see Miami and these

2414
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 1: really nice climate areas, and guys, look at Nebraska in

2415
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:24,839
Speaker 1: the winter time. I've been there seven degrees it's freezing.

2416
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: So how do you sell these kids in a legal

2417
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 1: way to come to Nebraska to be great?

2418
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,600
Speaker 8: You do think I'm giving you coaching answers, but I really.

2419
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: Think, first off, I think you're doing a phenomenal like this.

2420
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 1: This podcast has truly fired me.

2421
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 5: Up, so I don't I don't try to convince anybody

2422
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 5: any more to come, because no one's gonna convince me

2423
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 5: to come, right. I just try to tell people, like

2424
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:46,600
Speaker 5: what our plan is for them and what we have,

2425
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 5: Like here's what we have, here's our plan for you,

2426
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 5: like I think we do. I'll just say this, like

2427
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 5: I talked to recruit, especially guys are think about transferred.

2428
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, if you want to be a lawyer, do

2429
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 5: you go to medical school? No, if you want to

2430
01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 5: be a doctor, a doctor, do you go to law schoo.

2431
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 5: So if you want to play in the NFL, why

2432
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 5: woudn't you go somewhere that's going to prepare you for

2433
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:05,719
Speaker 5: the NFL. So like, if you want to go play

2434
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 5: d line in the National Football League, well come play

2435
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 5: for Terrence KnightMan who played for eight years and pot

Speaker 5: Rose has still he still shows his bridgestone commercial every

01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 5: I like, like, go somewhere that's going to prepare you

2440
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 5: for that. So I think us doing a really good

2441
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,839
Speaker 5: job of showing people here's our plan for you. Everyone

2442
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 5: can talk, everyone can talk slick like, here's our plan

2443
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 5: for you.

Speaker 8: Academic, here's our plan for you. Socially, here's our plan

2445
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 8: for you.

2446
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 5: And then the great recruiting has not changed in that

2447
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 5: when the current players and the team tell you, hey,

2448
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 5: they mean what they say.

2449
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna win.

2450
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2451
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,679
Speaker 5: You see a lot of schools having mass exoduses because

2452
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 5: they got promised, maybe a lot, and the coach players

2453
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 5: are like, hey, don't come here. They're not doing what

2454
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 5: they said. I don't mind if a player doesn't like

2455
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 5: what I say, but I can't live in a world

2456
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 5: where they say we coach lied to me. You can

2457
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 5: be disappointed with what I said. I might be wrong,

2458
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 5: but I'm not gonna lie to you. And I think

2459
01:31:57,320 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 5: that's again when you get to year eleven and you

2460
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:01,680
Speaker 5: have sort of the stability that I have, Like why

2461
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 5: why did I ask for an eight year contract? Because

2462
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 5: I don't want to have to bow to the whims

2463
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 5: of like, well, if I don't win this game, we're

2464
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:09,719
Speaker 5: out after year two. I want to have the time,

2465
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 5: not because I think we're not gonna win right away,

2466
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 5: but I want the stability that people can say, I'm

2467
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 5: gonna come there and play for him, and I can

2468
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 5: do things the right way. But I just think if

2469
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 5: I do a good job with the current players, then

2470
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 5: more players will come. And you know, it's also about

2471
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 5: finding the right guys, about finding guys that know, Hey,

2472
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 5: this is what Lincoln, I'm not lying to you.

2473
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 3: I'm bringing guys in. I got guys on visits right now.

2474
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 5: It's actually fifty today, by the way, but it was

2475
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,280
Speaker 5: cold the last couple of days, and like, hey, this

2476
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 5: is what it is man like can you do it

2477
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 5: or not?

2478
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,560
Speaker 8: Like what happens when you get drafted by Cleveland? What

2479
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 8: are you gonna do then?

2480
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 3: Like if you can't handle.

2481
01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 5: This, then you probably not right for us, because going

2482
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 5: back to what I said before, I want guys who

2483
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 5: are lions, Like if you're worried about this, that and

2484
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:46,840
Speaker 5: the third, and you're probably not right for me because

2485
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 5: I'm worried about I want to win, and I want

2486
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 5: to see you get a degree, and I want to

2487
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 5: see us win a championship like you'll see sometimes my

2488
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,680
Speaker 5: emoji game is a degree, a ring, and you know,

2489
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 5: I try to find a shield one time, saying like,

2490
01:32:58,040 --> 01:32:59,640
Speaker 5: those are three things I want for you, Like have

2491
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 5: a great time, get an education, win a ring, and

2492
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 5: go off and get drafted the NFL, make a ton

2493
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:05,879
Speaker 5: of money five million after your first contract.

2494
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your emoji game. Well, got you in

2495
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 2: the emoji game? The secret emojis? Because Dave Portnoy would

2496
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:13,759
Speaker 2: hit me up and be like, hey, I think.

2497
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 3: It could be.

2498
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 2: It could be a tough look for coach rule not

2499
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 2: not knowing what your age is. But he's out there

2500
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 2: tweeting emojis. I don't know if he'll be able to

2501
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 2: compete with Michigan. Michigan ain't out there tweeting emojis. So

2502
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 2: this is your opportunity to talk about your emoji game

2503
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 2: because you got a little.

2504
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:30,719
Speaker 5: Subtle Yeah, I just say, uh, I got recruits asking

2505
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 5: me to at them, like like I I will. I

2506
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 5: can say people's names now, right, So Malci Coleman goes

2507
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 5: on his visit to another school.

2509
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:39,400

01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:45,040

2515
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 5: big believer in Ping pong. I think like you have

2516
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 5: to put your phone down when you play it right.

2517
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 5: You can't have your earphones in when you play it right.

2518
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 5: Like I've just seen it transform locker rooms. Like so

2519
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:03,480
Speaker 5: I put ping pong tables in the lounge everything like

2520
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 5: like to me, everything goes from like nah, we don't

Speaker 3: A lot of people, a lot of people have been

2528
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 3: kind of fired up about it. I'm kind of that's

2529
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 3: how it started.

2530
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, and if you go back to Baylor, I

2531
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 5: would do it every once in a while, like when

2532
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 5: I had a subtle hint for maybe another coach something like,

2533
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 5: you know, I'm never gonna talk trash about but sometimes

2534
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 5: I have to. Like I'm not a sheep either, right,

2535
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 5: so I can't if I feel like you're coming at

2536
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 5: me in the wrong way and recruiting, I would maybe

2537
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 5: do something that they could kind of get. But uh

2538
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 5: so I've been trying to do I'm trying to just

2539
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 5: do it a little bit here and there. But haters

2540
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 5: are gonna hate. People are gonna say whatever. You know,

2541
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 5: it is what it is.

2542
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:42,759
Speaker 3: So what happens when you're fucking popping?

2543
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 1: The emojis are the modern day morse code. Yeah, you

2544
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 1: descriptions they're trying to decipher. Ay you hear him talking

2545
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 1: about the ping pong tables.

2546
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always headlines each year where there's a new

2547
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 2: coaching staff or something where there could be ping pong

2548
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 2: tables in a locker room. They get taken out, YadA, YadA, YadA,

2549
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 2: and so on. You're kind of the first coach. I mean,

2550
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 2: we had them in Washington, but you're kind of the

2551
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 2: first coach I've heard be like, oh, I'm pro I

2552

Speaker 3: What are we talking about?

2554
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 5: Like you know what you'll lose because someone jumps off

2555
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 5: sides or someone drops the ball. The coach tries to

2556
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,600
Speaker 5: be clever and comes up with ten new plays like

2557
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 5: like don't we want guys, Like don't we want guys

2558
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:18,599
Speaker 5: to be around each other? Like and that's hard now

2559
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 5: in the era of phone sometimes so like everyone looking

2560
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 5: at their phone. So anything I can do, whether it's food,

Speaker 1: two thirty meeting, like, fucked, dude, it's awful.

2609
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 5: Johnny Hecker's over there putting, you know. I mean he's

2610
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 5: an elite golfer. So but I'm I'm pretty good, not great.

2611
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,160
Speaker 5: I'm pretty good playing that case. There's a table over

2612
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,160

2613
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:12,559

2614
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 3: You wold my ass. I'm not like that on the

2615
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:15,200

01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: No.

2617
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:18,759
Speaker 3: I can't play pool. I can't I can't billiards or anything.

2618
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:21,719
Speaker 3: I just can't make it go with a nice little

2619
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:24,000
Speaker 3: player's lounge in the breath. That is a nice little

2620
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 3: Papa shot thing too. Yeah. Yeah, it's got all the

2621
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 3: bells and whistles.

2622
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 2: And we'd circle around the big uh what's it called

2623
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 2: big TV?

2624
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 3: What's it called it? Pulls down projector nice?

2625
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 2: We'd circle around the projector on those couches and we'd

2626
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 2: be playing back when it was like Percy Harvin on

2627
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 2: the Gators. Percy Harvin on the Gators. You play that

2628
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 2: part return mode on n C double A. I think

2629
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 2: it was fourteen, right, I don't, I mean, personally, might

2630
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 2: have been sooner than that.

2631
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 3: But players lounge man, some good old times there. He

2632
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 3: gets old xboxes and then ever be fun. You should

2633
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,640
Speaker 3: NCAA fourteen for all the guys. They would love that.

2634
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 3: That's so much fun. I'm back at some point here

2635
01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,599
Speaker 3: sooner or no. I think it's point twenty four, right.

2636
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 3: I just Bill.

2637
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 5: Walsh's college football me at Penn State nineteen ninety seven.

2638
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 5: I played with eighty three Auburn Bo Jackson, unstoppable. I

2639
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 5: was about his game a long time all the time.

2640
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 2: How has you were in college before you went to

2641
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 2: the NFL. Obviously, now you're back in college, the world's

2642
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 2: completely changed with the NIL How how eye opening? How

2643
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 2: have you been navigating those waters?

2644
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 3: Being like, Holy fuck?

2645
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 2: This is it seems to me like it's a free

2646
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 2: agency twenty four to seven at the college level, Like

2647
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 2: it's not even it's not even NFL world where you

2648
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 2: have three year contracts that you can't break whether you

2649
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 2: overperform or not.

2650
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2651
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 3: Yes, the wild West of college football right now.

2652
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, it's hard for me to

2653
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 5: say because I'm just getting started with it. I think

2654
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 5: as I go through a couple of years will be

2655
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 5: I'll probably have a better feel for you know exactly

2656
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 5: what I think about everything. At his core, I believe

2657
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 5: in it right, Like it's funny. I was talking to

2658
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 5: RG three like a couple of weeks ago. I was like,

2659
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 5: can you imagine they would have had this when you

2660
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,439
Speaker 5: played how much my good makes so much money? I

2661
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 5: do he would have I mean, it would been it

2662
01:38:57,280 --> 01:39:00,080
Speaker 5: would have been an insane So at his core, I

2663
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 5: believe in it. You know, one thing I've says, I

2664
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 5: want guys to get taken care of as long as

2665
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 5: they're coming for the right reasons because you.

2666
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 8: Know, I know this, I know how hard I'm gonna work.

2667
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:11,600
Speaker 5: I expect my staff to work for each guy, like

2668
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 5: as a person, like to give them what they need.

2669
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 5: And so I want them to want that. They got

2670
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 5: to want the football, they gotta want the academic. If

2671
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:19,680
Speaker 5: they want all that, then if they get taken care of,

2672
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 5: you know, over here, then great, I'm all for it.

2673
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 5: You know, I'm also a guy that kind of wants

2674
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 5: everyone to get taken care of, like I watch for

2675
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 5: you know, I walked on at Penn State. I was

2676
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 5: never a great player, so probably have a soft spot

2677
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 5: in my heart for.

2678
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 3: Guys who walk on.

2679
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 5: But I always see those dudes out there doing everything

2680
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,759
Speaker 5: everyone else is doing, and they're paying to go to school,

2681
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 5: and I'm like, man, I wish, you know, I like,

2682
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 5: I've see some schools, are you know, do using some

2683
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 5: of that ni Ol money to help those guys, which

2684
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:44,640
Speaker 5: I think is beautiful for a locker room. Because you

2685
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 5: guys know this, but I say this to recruits all

2686
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:47,640
Speaker 5: the time. The NFL is so crazy. It's the only

2687
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:49,920
Speaker 5: job in the world where like the left guard and

2688
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 5: the right guard or the left corner and the right corner.

2689
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 5: They both have the same work schedule, they both have

2690
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 5: the same assignments, they both have the same practice, they

2691
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 5: both have the same risk to bodily. But yet this guy,

2692
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:04,040
Speaker 5: this left guard, plays for eighteen million and this guy

2693
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,600
Speaker 5: plays for six hundred and sixty thousand. Like if I

2694
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 5: stop at Chick fil A on the way out of here,

2695
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 5: like this one woman doesn't work for one hundred twenty

2696
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 5: our dollars an hour and this guy works for twelve.

2697
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 5: Like it doesn't work that way anywhere else in the world,

2698
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:16,720
Speaker 5: but it works that way in football. And so like

2699
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 5: they need to learn early about value, Like, hey, you're

2700
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 5: gonna get paid, and your value in the NFL is

2701
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 5: going to come off of what you did in college.

2702
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 5: Like Ryan Burns was All Pro for US as a

2703
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 5: third year player. They didn't give him a raise. He

2704
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 5: was playing off his rookie deal. So you got to

2705
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 5: play well in college to make money in the NFL.

2706
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,120
Speaker 5: You got to play well your first four years to

2707
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 5: make money on your second contract. So I think learning

2708
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 5: about value is pretty good, But I just like it

2709
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 5: when everyone, you know, if everyone could kind of get

2710
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 5: taken care of and guys learn how to manage their

2711
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 5: money right. You know, if you invest money at twenty two,

2712
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 5: twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, your life could be

2713
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 5: pretty good at sixty and sixty five. So when done

2714
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:55,600
Speaker 5: right with responsible you know, adults helping hopefully, hopefully, it

2715
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 5: can be really good.

2716
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 1: Can you guys put things in place to help with

2717
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:00,640
Speaker 1: financial stuff or does that have to be from a

2718
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 1: third party. We can do all that.

2719
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 5: We can do education, we can do a ton of it,

2720
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 5: and our people have done it. You know, our people

2721
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 5: at Nebraska are working really hard to have a really

2722
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 5: good you know, for me, Like I didn't know much

2723
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 5: about finances, you know, in college, I kind of just

2724
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:13,479
Speaker 5: got a credit card and all of a sudden, I

2725
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 5: was like, oh wow, this is the piles so quickly,

2726
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 5: you know.

2727
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:17,599
Speaker 8: So I wish I would have done a better job.

2728
01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:19,559
Speaker 1: But general studies major, I know, I still don't know

2729
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: what's going on.

2730
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing the best I can. But yeah, and I'm

2731
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:22,719
Speaker 3: with you, you.

2732
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 5: Know, so I think we can do all that stuff.

2733
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,679
Speaker 5: You can provide all that education, and then you don't.

2734
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 5: I like it when guys learn how to go out

2735
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:32,559
Speaker 5: and be entrepreneurs and market themselves. A true meaning of

2736
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 5: it I like, go go go start something, you know,

2737
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 5: go go build your brand so that you have something

2738
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:37,879
Speaker 5: after football.

2739
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 1: Did you always have this mindset or is this like

2740
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:42,840
Speaker 1: a because you're changing with the times, because it's a

2741
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 1: very new age coach mindset. You said, you're an old

2742
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: school guy. You want to run the ball, play good defense.

2743
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:49,559
Speaker 1: But for a coach, the head coach to hear and like,

2744
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:51,599
Speaker 1: I want guys to market themselves. I want when we

2745
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: were in college, it was what are you guys doing

2746
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter? You don't need to you don't need to

2747
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: be on that.

2748
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 3: It almost took it for almost like a couple of times.

2749
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so now it's become like you guys need

2750
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: to be on this and do it, just do it smart.

2751
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 1: And like has that been a thing for you that

2752
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:06,760
Speaker 1: you're like, guys should market themselves or has that changed

2753
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: over time?

2754
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:08,920
Speaker 8: It's probably changed a little bit. I think there's something

2755
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 8: to it.

2756
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 3: Like I'll still see I'll.

2757
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 5: See like a player who keeps retweeting every fan that

2758
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 5: says something good about them, like, you know, here's what

2759
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 5: I'm ranked. I'm like, but what are you doing, like

2760
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:19,800
Speaker 5: just worry about playing football? Like I don't necessarily mean

2761
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 5: that like where you're just because kind of what I

2762
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 5: talked about before, like if you only see your value

2763
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 5: based upon what other people say about you, I just mean, like,

2764
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,400
Speaker 5: build a business, build connections. You know you want to

2765
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 5: get you want to get into music, you want to

2766
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 5: get into fashion, you want to get into education, whatever

2767
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 5: you want to get into, Like build that brand, but

2768
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 5: just just make sure you're also handling football first, and

2769
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 5: make sure you're having your education first, like those things,

2770
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:43,280
Speaker 5: because your ultimate brand will come off of what you do, right,

2771
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 5: like what you do on the football field, what you

2772
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:45,559
Speaker 5: do in the classroom.

2773
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 3: So let's build that.

2774
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 5: But on the side, I think it's awesome when guys

2775
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 5: learn these things, and you know, part of it is

2776
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:53,240
Speaker 5: like the minute you know, as you guys know, the

2777
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 5: minute you start getting paid in the NFL, then then

2778
01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 5: when the time comes, are gonna try to take the.

2779
01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 8: Money away from you. You know what I'm saying, Like you're good.

2780
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 5: I've seen guys making eight million dollars all a sudden

2781
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 5: they're cut, they're signing a minimum deal.

2782
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 8: You have to learn how you have to learn all

2783
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 8: that now.

2784
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 5: And I probably didn't understand this probably as much before

2785
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 5: I went to the NFL, and I'm so glad we

2786
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:14,600
Speaker 5: can't get involved in an IL because I think, you know,

2787
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:16,720
Speaker 5: a guy has a contract, he doesn't like walking in

2788
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:18,880
Speaker 5: the locker room. A guy you pay someone else instead

2789
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 5: of him. I was really glad that I wasn't handling

2790
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 5: all that. So when guys walk in the locker room,

2791
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 5: I'm like with me, bro, it's these guys over here.

2792
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 5: And I also going back to me and my ability

2793
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 5: to move, Like, I make a lot of money. Our

2794
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 5: coaches make a lot of money, so it's hard for

2795
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 5: me to say I'm gonna make a lot of money.

2796
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 5: But hey, I don't want the players getting anything that

2797
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:37,559
Speaker 5: just doesn't seem right to me. I mean, Football's opened

2798
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:39,840
Speaker 5: up doors I never thought I would have. I want

2799
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 5: the doors open for my guys as well.

2800
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 2: You said something you've said some before, but it's like,

2801
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 2: you know, guy's retweeting what people say about them, your

2802
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 2: perception and everything else.

2803
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:49,679
Speaker 3: You live for the cheers, you die by the booze.

2804
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 2: It's like the moment you do have a bad game

2805
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 2: and you are feeling feeding into that stuff, it's gonna

2806
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 2: affect your psyche, which is something that you were alluding

2807
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 2: to earlier when sitting and have a conversation with Matt

2808
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 2: on guys like feeling like they're under a lot of

2809
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 2: pressure and everything else.

2810
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 3: But are you surprised.

2811
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 2: By some of the I guess how naive guys can be.

2812
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:10,879
Speaker 3: Like high school recruits.

2813
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like you're gonna go in thinking you're gonna

2814
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 2: go in and meet somebody, set out and talk a

2815
01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 2: little bit of shot.

2816
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 3: But how quickly it gets to money?

2817
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 1: You know.

2818
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:19,719
Speaker 5: I think I think a lot of the high school

2819
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 5: kids have been really good, you know what I mean,

2820
01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 5: Like I mean some you know, I guess it's some guys,

2821
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 5: some people get involved with some most people. I just think,

2822
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 5: you know, if I tell you I'm not gonna talk

2823
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 5: money with you, I'm not gonna talk I'm your coach,

2824
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:30,400
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna talk money with you, you know what I mean.

2825
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 5: So I just think I have to have that discipline.

2826
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 5: But I think it's I think probably where you see

2827
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,639
Speaker 5: more of the anil stuff happening is within people's own rosters,

2828
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 5: and you know, as people come in and say, hey,

2829
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 5: leave your that roster, and then but also with the transfers,

2830
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 5: you know, and and I'll be honest with you, like

2831
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 5: like you know, you guys talked about Garrett Nelson earlier, right, Like,

2832
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 5: Garret's a guy that you know could have maybe come

2833
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 5: back or could go off to the NFL. Like you know,

2834
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 5: maybe NIL can help a guy like that. Hey, if

2835
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 5: I do come back, I get I get taken care

2836
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 5: of pretty good because I could be making money in

2837
01:44:58,560 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 5: the NFL.

2838
01:44:59,360 --> 01:44:59,680
Speaker 3: I was.

2839
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,600
Speaker 5: I was fired up for Garrett about his decision. You know,

2840
01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:04,920
Speaker 5: I was happy for him. He was first class and

2841
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:06,760
Speaker 5: did everything the right way. But you know there's times

2842
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:08,360
Speaker 5: or if you have a draftable grade and you're thinking

2843
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:10,880
Speaker 5: about coming back, if the NIL people or some people

2844
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 5: want to take care of you, I think that makes

2845
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 5: total sense to me. But you know how recruiting is,

2846
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 5: like one guy's completely different from the next, and just

2847
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 5: trying to find people who really want to come for

2848
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 5: you know what it used to.

2849
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 2: Be, you know what I mean, maybe maybe I phrased

2850
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,880
Speaker 2: that wrong, but have you come across those situations you're like, Okay,

2851
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 2: it seems like his head's kind of a one where

2852
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 2: you're going to hit somebody up, Like, hey, he's you

2853
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:30,840
Speaker 2: hit up? You know, t night you were seeing a

2854
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 2: d Lineman You're like, hey, he's not a type of guy.

2855
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:34,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, we we say, oh, you'll see I say, oh,

2856
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:36,840
Speaker 5: it's like one of us, like like, you know, I

2857
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 5: don't I tell you guys all, I don't care what

2858
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 5: I don't think. Brother, I don't care. I don't care

2859
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 5: how you carry your hair. I don't care you know

2860
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 5: what music you listen to. I don't care how you dress,

2861
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 5: care about how you do your football, how you treat people,

2862
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 5: and full So if I come across some way that's

2863
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 5: not about that, they're just not going to be a

2864
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:52,640
Speaker 5: good fit. Like, yeah, I've learned my lesson when I

2865
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 5: made way too many mistakes early on trying to chase

2866
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 5: people getting seduced by talent. So if someone's not you know,

2867
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 5: again and again, I draw the distinction between the transfer

2868
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 5: guys who's proven what they can do and incoming freshmen.

2869
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 3: Like an incoming freshman's talking to me about.

2870
01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 5: All this other stuff, like we should be talking about

2871
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:09,360
Speaker 5: our study hall structure, like like, you know, you got

2872
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 5: to prove some things before, you know, I want to

2873
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:13,680
Speaker 5: And again we stay out of that, but I do.

2874
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 5: I do think that, yes, there's a lot of people

2875
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 5: that they want to know what's in it for them,

2876
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 5: and they want to know what it is, and that's

2877
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 5: only natural. I just think as a coach, you have

2878
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 5: to say this is how we're gonna do it. I

2879
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,719
Speaker 5: don't talk about this, you know, I talk about the school.

2880
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,760
Speaker 5: Then if if you're interested, then you know, talk to

2881
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 5: these people over here. Yeah there's opportunities for you.

2882
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:28,639
Speaker 3: Then great.

2883
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 1: You know.

2884
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be fucking crazy in a couple

2885
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:32,759
Speaker 2: of years. Yeah, I think the way it's.

2886
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 3: Gonna be wild.

2887
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, But the next couple of years are going to

2888
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 1: be crazy because it seems like the Big Ten and

2889
01:46:37,840 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 1: the SEC especially are like kind of just taking as

2890
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:43,440
Speaker 1: many colleges as possible, as the thought of the UCLA

2891
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: and USC being in the Big Ten five ten years

2892
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 1: ago would be just blasphemed as to be ridiculous. How

2893
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:50,719
Speaker 1: do you think the college landscape is going to change?

2894
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 1: If you really are going to be at Nebraska for

2895
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:53,600
Speaker 1: eight years, you're probably gonna see it.

2896
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:54,400
Speaker 3: Do you see?

2897
01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:58,120
Speaker 1: Do you think there's an opportunity that the Big Ten

2898
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 1: and the SEC and maybe one other big conference and

2899
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 1: splits away from the NC DOUBLEA with all this new

2900
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: and ile stuff and il stuff going on and making

2901
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: their own like league.

2902
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 5: Almost you know, that's a great question. I've heard people

2903
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 5: say that I don't. I don't know that.

2904
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 3: I do think.

2905
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 5: I do think to your point, I think the Big

2906
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,679
Speaker 5: Ten has kind of become like this coast to coast

2907
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 5: almost like yeah, college's NFL, you know. I mean we've

2908
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:22,680
Speaker 5: from four will because Yah had a way to use

2909
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 5: to La like we got everything in between. So it

2910
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 5: becomes a really national brand, and that's I think that's

2911
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 5: actually kind of good for us. Like when I look

2912
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:32,519
Speaker 5: at like when I look at like Texas, I went

2913
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 5: to Nebraska to be Texas as a Big Ten team.

2914
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 5: When I look at like west of here all the

2915
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,719
Speaker 5: way till there's all those prospects from Arizona to Utah

2916
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 5: in between. Zone that doesn't have that doesn't have a

2917
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 5: that doesn't have a place to go, and if they

2918
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 5: want to play in the Big tennant, so it's the

2919
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 5: Big Ten to go to. As we go to sixteen

2920
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 5: teams and the Big ten's getting three to four teams

2921
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 5: in every year to the College Football Playoff, Hey come

2922
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 5: to Nebraska. I think that's one of the things I

2923
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 5: saw in the SEC is certainly the SEC and then

2924
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 5: we have.

2925
01:47:57,439 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 3: To defeat them. Yeah, we got to beat them.

2926
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 2: I think something like that that helps Nebraska because I

2927
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 2: in my opinion, I loved like I got to play

2928
01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 2: two years in the Big twelve, two years in the

2929
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 2: Big Ten.

2930
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 3: I loved when we got to go to the Big Ten.

2931
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,600
Speaker 2: But now hindsight, I almost feel like it hurt us

2932
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 2: to go to the Big Ten because we became We

2933
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 2: recruited so much California, especially Texas, and I know coaches

2934
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 2: now think thinking about from the coach's perspective, you're sitting

2935
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 2: in these living rooms in Texas and being able to

2936
01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 2: at least tell families you'll be able to see these

2937
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 2: guys play a couple times a ye're at Baylor, at Texas,

2938
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 2: tech A, and m at the time, you'll be able

2939
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 2: to see him. And then you know you can still

2940
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:33,640
Speaker 2: come to Nebraska. Now Nebraska before UCLA and USC's join it.

2941
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:36,599
Speaker 2: It's kind of like you're gonna fly over Michigan, Ohio.

2942
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 2: You know, all this, all these states just to play

2943
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 2: at Nebraska, and you can't necessarily recruit Texas as well,

2944
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:44,599
Speaker 2: because like, oh, we don't play there at all anymore.

2945
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:46,640
Speaker 2: So I feel like getting to the West coast like

2946
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 2: USC in UCLA that helps Nebraska a little bit more,

2947
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:53,040
Speaker 2: because now if you're recruiting, you know, California and the

2948
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:54,479
Speaker 2: West coast a little bit more, you'll at least be

2949
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 2: able to say, hey, we're closer than all these other

2950
01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 2: fucking big time schools, you know on the East.

2951
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 5: And plus, like when I was at Baylor, I could

2952
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:03,560
Speaker 5: tell people like, hey, nine out of our nine of

2953
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 5: our twelve games or ten of our twelve games this

2954
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 5: year are in the state of Texas. Well, that's gonna change,

2955
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 5: you know, the Big Twelve is changing now. They're bringing

2956
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 5: in Cincinnati and some other teams. So now you are

2957
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 5: leaving the state every year. And now even you know

2958
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:14,960
Speaker 5: Texas and Texa, A and M. Now as they go

2959
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,599
Speaker 5: to the SEC, they're playing in Alabama, they're playing and George.

2960
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,599
Speaker 5: So all of college football is pretty becoming pretty regional.

2961
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 5: I'm old school man. I miss like Pitt Penn State,

2962
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:26,919
Speaker 5: and then I miss you know, Nebraska playing Colorado Nebraska.

2963
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 5: Ou like, I missed all the old school games, you know,

2964
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:31,240
Speaker 5: But it's what's happened. It is what it is, right,

2965
01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:34,599
Speaker 5: So I think this this move with USC and UCLA

2966
01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 5: coming in the day, ten, moving up the playoff, expanding

2967
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,760
Speaker 5: to twelve teams. It's the perfect time for Nebraska, a

2968
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 5: perfect time for us. It's one of the major reasons

2969
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 5: I was like, I see an opportunity here.

2970
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start it with some you know, early little

2971
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,679
Speaker 2: bit of fun. You brought up Nebraska Colorado. That rivalry

2972
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 2: gets to kind of reignite itself this year. Dionna is

2973
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 2: now at Colorado. There's a lot of fluff. There wasn't

2974
01:49:57,800 --> 01:50:02,639
Speaker 2: an amusing scene the ad bag for Colorado fans like please, let's.

2975
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: Not they're red travels now yeah, back and seeing him

2976
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: like I tell you what I I.

2977
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 5: There's a picture, there's a thing in our media guy

2978
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 5: of all the different pictures of us taking over stadiums

2979
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,320
Speaker 5: and the sea of red and traveling and I just

2980
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:21,559
Speaker 5: you know, you know, I've worked with some great places,

2981
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:23,200
Speaker 5: but I've never had that, like I've never had that

2982
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 5: home field advantage, that road advantage. So I can't wait

2983
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 5: for it, you know, I can't wait to have that chance.

2984
01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, it's funny. I have so

2985
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 5: much respect for dion but like our last official visit weekend,

2986
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 5: they have they have the mad in nextbox whatever on they.

2987
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 3: Have to and it's like it's it's it's it's it's

2988
01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 3: his prime on there.

2989
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 5: And I'm like, guys, take off the we're trying to

2990
01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 5: beat Colorado on recruits.

2991
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 3: They're like, it's Madden. What are we gonna do. He's

2992
01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 3: he's on the cover of Madden.

2993
01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,080
Speaker 5: As it scrolls through the thing, I'm like, it's kind

2994
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:50,799
Speaker 5: of hard to be with one of the greatest football

2995
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 5: players of all time.

2996
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 3: So but but you know what, I'm sure players though,

2997
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:56,719
Speaker 3: might not be best coach of all times.

2998
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 5: Well, and you know, I'm sure he's done a great job.

2999
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:03,840
Speaker 5: I just now I will see that. I but I

3000
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,519
Speaker 5: believe in our staff. I believe what we're doing, and

3001
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 5: we're gonna, you know, we're gonna put it together and

3002
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:08,760
Speaker 5: go out there and play. It'd be a great game.

3003
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:09,760
Speaker 5: I think it'll be a great thing for I think

3004
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,679
Speaker 5: it's a great thing for college football though, like Nebraska Colorado.

3005
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:14,280
Speaker 5: Like when I was going through this process, showing my

3006
01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:17,600
Speaker 5: wife and my son, like you know, the eighties and

3007
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 5: nineties and those rivalries and coach McCartney and coach of

3008
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:23,600
Speaker 5: Osborne and just those are some great games, man, and

3009
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 5: so like to have this game. And I think the

3010
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 5: last two times we played them like rolling two against them,

3011
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 5: you know, in the last two games against Colorado. So

3012
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 5: you know, to start off at Minnesota and then come

3013
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 5: back and go with to Colorado.

3014
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 3: That's that's gonna be fun. That's gonna be just a little

3015
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 3: warm up with Minnesota the Gophers.

3016
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:37,679
Speaker 1: Dude.

3017
01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:40,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was funny though about that ad begging, right,

3018
01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:40,840
Speaker 3: it was.

3019
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 8: It was funny trying to get me in trial, bro,

3020
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 8: trying to.

3021
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: You don't have to.

3022
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll ask you your question.

3023
01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:53,560
Speaker 1: Do you fully expect Nebraska to go into Colorado and

3024
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:55,799
Speaker 1: totally have a sea of red and boulder.

3025
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 3: I expect our fans to show up. Let's go. Yeah,

3026
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,680
Speaker 3: it would be there. I'll be there and let's go.

3027
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 3: I expect our fans to show up.

3028
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:06,080
Speaker 5: I as I've gotten out to the western part of

3029
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,679
Speaker 5: the state and seeing all the like the die hard,

3030
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 5: die hard, Like I'm in I'm in Scott's Bluff and

3031
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 5: we're a little group pub downtown and there's people figured

3032
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 5: out that we were there, me and the OC, and

3033
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, there's just people there like shaking

3034
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 5: our hand.

3035
01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:23,639
Speaker 3: Like those people, those people out there, they're excited about

3036
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 3: Nebraska football.

3037
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 5: So I think it's I'm hoping that people come from everywhere,

3038
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 5: and then I'll be honest with you, I can't wait

3039
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,759
Speaker 5: for our first home game, you know, uh, the Northern Illinois,

3040
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:32,600
Speaker 5: Like I like, I just can't wait to walk I

3041
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:34,360
Speaker 5: walk by that field in the mornings.

3042
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: You know.

3043
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:36,920
Speaker 8: I get into work whatever time and walk out there.

3044
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 5: Man, it's like I'm gonna coach here like and it's

3048
01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 5: a team that they that they really like.

3049
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

3050
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:50,560
Speaker 3: You talked about good football players in Arizona. There's some

3051
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 3: studs out there right now. There's some really good players,

3052
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 3: you know.

3053
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 1: Would you say Arizona is probably a top five state

3054
01:52:56,800 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: in recruiting.

3055
01:52:57,479 --> 01:52:58,839
Speaker 8: I say it's it's pretty important.

3056
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 2: Pretty there's a lot about where the best players come from.

3057
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 8: It's pretty important for us right now.

3058
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Arizona's pretty important for Nebraska.

3059
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 5: Arizona's a really good place for us. You know a

3060
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 5: lot of people from Nebraska have second homes there or

3061
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,360
Speaker 5: vacation that when Will came into town, there's damn parade going.

3062
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,559
Speaker 8: So it's it's it's a it's a it's an easy trip.

3063
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 3: And so it's, uh, it's got some good quarterbacks in Arizona.

3064
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, big Kyler, Murray Finn Yeah player. Yeah,

3065
01:53:24,400 --> 01:53:26,560
Speaker 5: and you know at all levels, you know, college.

3066
01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:29,799
Speaker 2: High school, absolutely, all levels.

3067
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, at all levels.

3068
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:32,240
Speaker 2: Hypothetically, I think we got to go all in on

3069
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 2: whoever the number one recruit is, like the best.

3070
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:37,800
Speaker 5: I think, I think I think Nebraska should. I think

3071
01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 5: Nebraska should recruit the best of the best. And also,

3072
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:43,560
Speaker 5: let guys know that what an unbeieble opportunity to come be,

3073
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 5: you know, like I want to be one of the

3074
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 5: people that you know, brings us to glory. And so

3075
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:49,559
Speaker 5: the players that choose to come here in this class

3076
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:52,000
Speaker 5: and maybe like next year's class, they're the ones who

3077
01:53:52,240 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 5: who I think people remember for a long time. Like, Hey,

3078
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,800
Speaker 5: the state wants us, you want us, everyone that loves

3079
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 5: Nebraska wants us to be great again. So let's let's

3080
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 5: let's let's get the right players and coaches here and

3081
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 5: people will remember those guys.

3082
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:07,640
Speaker 1: Yeah the Nebraska good answer, Hey, you are playing an

3083
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:08,759
Speaker 1: excellent game of chests.

3084
01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:09,519
Speaker 3: Right, We'll say this one thing.

3085
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Jalen Petree just I think it's just at

3086
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:15,000
Speaker 5: the NFL record for Jen for Uh play second round

3087
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:16,600
Speaker 5: draftter for the Texans, played for me at Bayol, then

3088
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 5: played for coach Randa Uh. He was the only player

3089
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:22,040
Speaker 5: that stayed committed in the recruiting class after the scandal

3090
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 5: had happened at Baylor and I got there, I didn't

3091
01:54:23,439 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 5: even know him, and I introduced myself to him. I

3092
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 5: remember the two tour guys are walking with him, and

3093
01:54:28,520 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 5: the one tour guy started crying and she was like,

3094
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 5: I just want you to know, like I know, you're

3095
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 5: the only person that when everyone else left the program,

3096
01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 5: you're the only kid who stayed. And so he well,

3097
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 5: someday probably have a statue built for him at Baylor

3098
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 5: because he's the guy who bridged the gap. He's the

3099
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 5: He's the one, like I got some credit that I

3100
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 5: don't know.

3101
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:46,840
Speaker 3: He's the one.

3102
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:49,040
Speaker 5: And now he said an NFL record this year as

3103
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:51,800
Speaker 5: a rookie. He's a special, special person. So that sense

3104
01:54:51,880 --> 01:54:54,000
Speaker 5: of legacy, it's you go to a place like Nebraska

3105
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 5: and you walk by the All Americans, you walk by

3106
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 5: the Heisman.

3107
01:54:56,720 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's pretty hard.

3108
01:54:57,920 --> 01:54:59,160
Speaker 5: Like I used to walk through the halls of Penn State,

3109
01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:00,760
Speaker 5: Like we I'll never be the first to do anything here.

3110
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,440
Speaker 5: We've done it all. But when your your program hits

3111
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:05,040
Speaker 5: a little bit of adverse here, the people who show

3112
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 5: up now, kind of like Jalen did at Baylor, they'll

3113
01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:09,040
Speaker 5: they'll remember you for a long.

3114
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 2: Long time, right, like a quarterback who could be sitting

3115
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:12,720
Speaker 2: out there somewhere in any state on the west.

3116
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Soona, there's none as a top five recruiting school.

3117
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 2: Or with the recruiting state, you'd be part of some

3118
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 2: legacy type shit. Legacy stuff. Do you understand? I think

3119
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:22,800
Speaker 2: you're like you're obviously going to say yes, But do

3120
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:26,839
Speaker 2: you truly understand how rabid these fans are in Nebraska?

3121
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:31,280
Speaker 2: Not go back and watch some old pressers from bo Pliny,

3122
01:55:31,440 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 2: just some old school ship like you gotta you gotta

3123
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 2: buckle in around linked Nebraska, keep.

3124
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 3: Your hands in the card at all times during the

3125
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 3: ride type stuff.

3126
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think I do believe this.

3127
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:44,880
Speaker 5: I believe, like I said, after everything I've gone through,

3128
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:46,280
Speaker 5: the good and the bad, I think that's got me

3129
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 5: this point where I'm like as stoic and as zen

3130
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:51,160
Speaker 5: as possible, Like I was on the plane the other

3131
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 5: day flying you know, I flew back from Charlotte from

3132
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 5: the Coaches convention and commercial commercial yeah, and I was

3133
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 5: was fortunate that was able to sit up for They

3134
01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 5: started chanting go Big Red as we were landing in Omaha,

3135
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, this is real. Okay, So

3136
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,680
Speaker 5: but you know what, I would much rather have passion

3137
01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:14,160
Speaker 5: than apathy and knowing that on both sides of it

3138
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:15,800
Speaker 5: there can always be you know, sometimes it can be.

3139
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:17,640
Speaker 5: But I've met a lot of really great people, and

3140
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:19,720
Speaker 5: I think I think people in Nebraska right now are

3141
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 5: so starved to like just like, let's just go see

3142
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:26,480
Speaker 5: what a go back to a Bowl game, Like, let's

3143
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:28,640
Speaker 5: just do that. Like so I can feel people are

3144
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 5: getting excited about here, we're gonna do this with it.

3145
01:56:30,200 --> 01:56:32,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to stay in the moment, like did everyone

3146
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 3: go to community service today?

3147
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 2: You know?

3148
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 5: Did everyone go to practically everyone showed up lifting this morning.

3149
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 5: That's great, stay in that that kind of that space.

3150
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:41,520
Speaker 5: But I'm excited about what maybe we can do.

3151
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:41,800
Speaker 1: You know.

3152
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:42,320
Speaker 3: It's like.

3153
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:46,200
Speaker 2: It's almost like that's what Nebraska just wants to do again.

3154
01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 2: You thought everybody thought we had it with Scott with

3155
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 2: like him playing in the nineties him being a successful coordinator,

3156
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 2: head coach coming to Nebraska. We got our fucking guy,

3157
01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:00,600
Speaker 2: and for it to not happen, it's kind of like, fuck, man, Like,

3158
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 2: what is even the expectation anymore?

3159
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? No, I thought you were

3160
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:07,400
Speaker 3: going to cry for a second. You almost do.

3161
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:09,560
Speaker 2: It's like you come into this job and it's like

3162
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 2: somebody takes on this responsiblity because a lot of people

3163
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 2: argue that it's a fucking hard job to want to

3164
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 2: go into because the expectation is so high, and you

3165
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 2: already alluded to it the little apathy quote you had

3166
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:23,440
Speaker 2: Passion over apathy. It's like the expectation is so high

3167
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 2: and recruiting can be a little dicey because you're trying

3168
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,120
Speaker 2: to get these kids to Middle America again when you

3169
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 2: can play anywhere.

3170
01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:34,200
Speaker 3: It's it's like I'm excited. I'm excited. And you texted

3171
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 3: your boy like on day one, like coach rule text

3172
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 3: on all like Will texted me at the minute he

01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 3: texted you texted him brother.

3174
01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 2: It's like the president gets he becomes the president of

3175
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,400
Speaker 2: the first one hundred days, it's like on your list.

3176
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 3: Get in with the boy. You know what I mean,

3177
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:50,400
Speaker 3: was that on the list.

3178
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:54,680
Speaker 5: On the list, probably number one on the list, calling

3179
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 5: my wife and making sure she was but it was

3180
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 5: in the top five.

3181
01:57:58,920 --> 01:57:59,360
Speaker 3: Oh shit.

3182
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 5: But no, In all seriousness, like, as we went through

3183
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:04,520
Speaker 5: this process, we had so much time.

3184
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 3: Like I watched all these things.

3185
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 5: I watched all the tunnel walks, I watched Coach Pollini,

3186

Speaker 5: important to me. You know what I'm saying. You can

01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 5: you're a coach, you can lose yourself and think you're

Speaker 1: You talk about your lows. Yeah, yeah, and that's a

3217
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,560
Speaker 1: huge thing too. It's because people like to run away

3218
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:14,200
Speaker 1: from their mishaps. There's things that happened that didn't go

3219
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:16,560
Speaker 1: their way. You're you're facing a head on. Yeah, you're

3220
01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:19,040
Speaker 1: the spear, butd you're this spear for the breast of corners.

3221
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 2: Everything you said about watching busting is like you're like,

3222
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:24,480
Speaker 2: you know, did I get caught up or wrapped up?

3223
01:59:24,520 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 2: And seeing people laugh at themselves. I think it's super

3224
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 2: important man, because you can't get lost, no doubt in

3225
01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:33,480
Speaker 2: the identity of like I'm here, man, everybody's fucking coming

3226
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:35,800
Speaker 2: after me to come down. Like you know, you said,

3227
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:37,480
Speaker 2: what do I do? You know, take my kids to

3228
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:39,120
Speaker 2: school or go home? And Pat, I'm sure you did both.

3229
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:40,680
Speaker 2: You probably took them to school, fucking that's.

3230
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:44,080
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Pat it on the way home almost busting

3231
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: with the boys. Maybe, no doubt, Yeah, dude, because we

3232
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:48,680
Speaker 1: talk about all the time that there's people that either

3233
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:51,000
Speaker 1: are on pedestals or put themselves on pedestals and just

3234
01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:53,960
Speaker 1: refuse to take a giggle at themselves, know when they

3235
01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:54,480
Speaker 1: fucked up.

3236
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:56,040
Speaker 3: And it's like, dude, if.

3237
01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 1: You just do that, life, the anxiety of life dwindles

3238
01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:01,560
Speaker 1: and you feel so much better. Now. I do have

3239
02:00:01,640 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 1: a very important this might be the most important question.

3240
02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 1: This might be not the rodback, but this is definitely

3241
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: a massively important question. And the way you answer it's

3242
02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:10,880
Speaker 1: going to change the directory of our friendship. I don't

3243
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 1: know how you and Will are going to be the

3244
02:00:13,440 --> 02:00:15,480
Speaker 1: fourth game this season you will playing. You will be

3245
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 1: playing the Michigan Wolverines in Lincoln, Nebraska. Now, there are

3246
02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:25,000
Speaker 1: talks that last year Michigan won the first inaugural bus

3247
02:00:25,120 --> 02:00:28,160
Speaker 1: and Bowl official or unofficial. That's the argument that people

3248
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:31,320
Speaker 1: are putting at it, putting up with it. Are you

3249
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: willing to sign papers saying that Michigan or Nebraska will

3250
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 1: be playing for the first official Busting Bowl against Michigan

3251
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:42,720
Speaker 1: next year?

3252
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? Also, here's what I do you know a lawyer

3253
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:51,919
Speaker 3: right right now? Stream of the bust and Bowl, I'm

3254
02:00:51,960 --> 02:00:52,160
Speaker 3: not so.

3255
02:00:53,480 --> 02:00:55,560
Speaker 2: We we did the spring tour last year where we

3256
02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:57,880
Speaker 2: went to UH, we went to Nebraska, we went to Michigan,

3257
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,800
Speaker 2: we went to Tennessee. We didn't interviews, sat out with

3258
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:05,400
Speaker 2: Scott coach Chintz, Uh, Trev Alberts, he's been on the bus.

3259
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:08,920
Speaker 2: We went to that Michigan game the last year and UH.

3260
02:01:09,400 --> 02:01:11,960
Speaker 2: We were sitting down on the spring tour and Taylor's like, hey,

3261
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:14,000
Speaker 2: I got an idea and talked about like, hey, I'm

3262
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:16,480
Speaker 2: going to ask if we can do the bust and Bowl,

3263
02:01:16,480 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna Askcott Frost if he'll say yes. He

3264
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,400
Speaker 2: got fired up, said yes. We went to Michigan. Scott

3265
02:01:21,520 --> 02:01:24,480
Speaker 2: was like, look, if R. A. D's on board and

3266
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 2: Michigan's on board, I'm all for it. Like, let's sign it.

3267
02:01:27,480 --> 02:01:28,200
Speaker 2: We go to Michigan.

3268
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 3: Hold on, do we have the clip? Do you have

3269
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 3: do you have the clip of Harpball? He's grabbing the Uh.

3270
02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:36,960
Speaker 1: He he's grabbing the contract right now, So go ahead.

3271
02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Will this is your this is your story.

3272
02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:42,760
Speaker 2: We go to Michigan and we asked Carball and Harpball's

3273
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:44,760
Speaker 2: all about it. We have our legal team drop a

3274
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:49,040
Speaker 2: document to to make this thing official. Jim Harball is

3275
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 2: the only guy who has signed it.

3276
02:01:50,160 --> 02:01:50,600
Speaker 3: He was all in.

3277
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:52,520
Speaker 2: He was hitting his chest like he was getting into

3278
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 2: you felt it. He's all about competing, just like yourself.

3279
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:57,400
Speaker 2: We'd love to see a ping pong game there. But

3280
02:01:57,560 --> 02:02:00,080
Speaker 2: he signed it along the way, it got lost a

3281
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:04,040
Speaker 2: little bit of translation. I'm I like to feel like

3282
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm connected at Nebraska and I was told that we

3283
02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:09,640
Speaker 2: would get this thing signed. Training camp kind of got

3284
02:02:09,680 --> 02:02:10,960
Speaker 2: away from all of us for a little bit. You know,

3285
02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 2: you got your ten up in the air.

3286
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 3: Where we going here? Where we're going there?

3287
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Camp?

3288
02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:17,360
Speaker 3: And unfortunately Nebraska had the year that they had.

3289
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 2: I tried making it happen, knowing that it's like this

3290
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 2: probably isn't gonna get signed because there's so many more

3291
02:02:23,680 --> 02:02:26,160
Speaker 2: important things going on than signing a document. To make

3292
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:28,800
Speaker 2: the bust and Bowl official when Nebraska's like losing game in,

3293
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:32,720
Speaker 2: game out, and so our side didn't necessarily sign it.

3294
02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:36,600
Speaker 1: So Taylor and car Ball signed it before we even

3295
02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:39,960
Speaker 1: finished the question. Yeah, that's right, signed it before we

3296
02:02:40,040 --> 02:02:40,880
Speaker 1: even finished the question.

3297
02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:43,879
Speaker 2: And so Taylor and I still took it upon ourselves,

3298
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:46,480
Speaker 2: like we're gonna still make this thing unofficially official, but

3299
02:02:46,640 --> 02:02:48,080
Speaker 2: we're going to go to Michigan.

3300
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:50,920
Speaker 3: Bring the trophy mass it's forty pounds. It's sitting in

3301
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:54,040
Speaker 3: it's sitting in the Michigan locker room in their trophy.

3302
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Right next to Paul Bunyan. Pull it up right now,

3303
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:00,280
Speaker 1: well you can, you can?

3304
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you want to say? No, I

3305
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 2: want him to see that it's this is a this

3306
02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:09,920
Speaker 2: is a living breath November. Yeah, dude, can't sponsor the trophy.

3307
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,400
Speaker 2: We have a full on trophy made with little you

3308
02:03:12,440 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 2: know them little things. We can write the name in

3309
02:03:14,240 --> 02:03:16,440
Speaker 2: etch the name and everything else. It's a legit trophy.

3310
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:19,920
Speaker 2: And so we're excited about next year. As you can tell,

3311
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:22,320
Speaker 2: I need the what you what you usually need. You

3312
02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:24,240
Speaker 2: need the head coach on board, you need their signature,

3313
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:27,040
Speaker 2: you need the A D signature. I know Trev would

3314
02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 2: be on board this. He's got to play his game,

3315
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:31,440
Speaker 2: and he said the right thing. He's like, well, I

3316
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:33,200
Speaker 2: know you respect. We got a lot of things going

3317
02:03:33,240 --> 02:03:36,400
Speaker 2: on right now, and I was like, hand up, fully understand.

3318
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 2: Had to ask because the game's coming up.

3319
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeap. So that's why we asked the question, are you

3320
02:03:41,720 --> 02:03:43,080
Speaker 3: willing to make this thing official?

3321
02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:50,080
Speaker 2: Brass trophy? Love it that's sitting in like recruit see it.

3322
02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 2: And when they went to the game, because I know

3323
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,040
Speaker 2: all of Nebraska's gonna watch this. When we went to

3324
02:03:56,120 --> 02:04:00,080
Speaker 2: the game, even in the recruiting area they had with

3325
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:01,800
Speaker 2: the lights you know the lights that you guys put

3326
02:04:01,840 --> 02:04:04,800
Speaker 2: in the Hawks to decorate all the ball, big bull

3327
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:09,880
Speaker 2: bull lights sing busting bull. The day came playing the game,

3328
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 2: I know Nebraska could do well, Nebreska. I'm just letting

3329
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:16,880
Speaker 2: you know that's what's happening behind enemy factual. What do

3330
02:04:16,960 --> 02:04:19,160
Speaker 2: you know, our legal team made up a contract right

3331
02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:22,560
Speaker 2: here perfect. So all you're gonna do is I write

3332
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:24,480
Speaker 2: your name and then you can read through it if

3333
02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,920
Speaker 2: you like. There's a lot of language here, but I

3334
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:28,280
Speaker 2: would if you want.

3335
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:33,600
Speaker 3: To h this is this is history. This is history brother.

3336
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 3: Oh wow, well is that.

3337
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:43,560
Speaker 1: A real signature.

3338
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of loops.

3339
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 1: I was just making sure that's a lot of loops,

3340
02:04:47,200 --> 02:04:51,280
Speaker 1: all right, now, Yes, So when we were at.

3341
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:56,760
Speaker 3: The game, there another signature ship. You're right. See, I

3342
02:04:56,760 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 3: think he's gonna dip on the boys. I don't think

3343
02:04:58,120 --> 02:05:00,200
Speaker 3: it's important to him like it is coach rule. But

3344
02:05:00,280 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 3: I think, no, he's not dipping on the boys.

3345
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:03,720
Speaker 1: He said a statement he's he fully plans to be

3346
02:05:03,760 --> 02:05:05,320
Speaker 1: a part of the Michigan Wolverines twenty twenty three.

3347
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:07,800
Speaker 3: State would have doctored statement right there by his agent.

3348
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 1: They wrote it, didn't they Now twenty million dollars a year,

3349
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:14,240
Speaker 1: he allegedly got offered by the Denver Broncos.

3350
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:16,320
Speaker 3: There's a lot of mutual interest.

3351
02:05:16,320 --> 02:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Money does talk, And I wouldn't be mad at him,

3352
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:21,320
Speaker 1: but i'd be real I would I would cry because

3353
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:21,560
Speaker 1: it's over.

3354
02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:24,000
Speaker 3: I wouldn't smile because it happened, which I know you're

3355
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:24,520
Speaker 3: not supposed to do.

3356
02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:26,840
Speaker 2: Now, this.

Speaker 5: All right.

3377
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:30,080
Speaker 1: The coolest thing about Nebraska is I went there. I

3380
02:06:35,120 --> 02:06:36,600
Speaker 1: the year we got our aspey. It was twenty twelve.

3381
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:40,200
Speaker 3: Wee me, yeah, yeah, we got our asspyt.

3382
02:06:40,360 --> 02:06:44,400
Speaker 1: The stadium was rocking, extremely loud lights, The boys were

3383
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:45,840
Speaker 1: playing well, Donar got hurt.

3384
02:06:45,880 --> 02:06:46,560
Speaker 3: That's why we lost.

3385
02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 1: We probably could have won that game, but we ended

3386
02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:50,560
Speaker 1: up not winning that game, ended up just getting absolutely

3387
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 1: pile dry for sixty minutes after the game. There's fans

3388
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:55,360
Speaker 1: that are kind of lined up as you're walking out,

3389
02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:56,760
Speaker 1: and they are the nicest.

3390
02:06:56,800 --> 02:06:59,240
Speaker 3: Hey, great job. Hey, you'll get them next time. You guys.

3391
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Keep it up, have a great rest of the season.

3392
02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 1: A feeling you don't really get when you play football

3393
02:07:03,480 --> 02:07:04,720
Speaker 1: against opposing fan bases.

3394
02:07:05,240 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 3: It was it is very cool place.

3395
02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:09,000
Speaker 5: The greatest feeling in the world as a coach. You know,

3396
02:07:09,040 --> 02:07:10,960
Speaker 5: the greatest thing you can ever say to someone as

3397
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:13,080
Speaker 5: a coach. You welcome f you've won. You walk up

3398
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 5: and say, hey, your boys played hard today.

3399
02:07:17,360 --> 02:07:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

3400
02:07:18,240 --> 02:07:20,080
Speaker 5: Joey Maguire, the coach Text to Tech taught me that

3401
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:23,640
Speaker 5: I just whenever I can, you know, just you boys

3402
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:26,080
Speaker 5: played hard today. Boys played harder, Boys played hard today.

3403
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Do we want to do a tier talk? Because I

3404
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:31,080
Speaker 1: have one in my head that we could do. I

3405
02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:34,120
Speaker 1: know we talked about maybe possibly doing emojis, but just

3406
02:07:34,160 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 1: to keep the Nebraska theme, we could do our tier,

3407
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:42,200
Speaker 1: our top tier, top three selling points at the University

3408
02:07:42,200 --> 02:07:42,720
Speaker 1: of Nebraska.

3409
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:47,760
Speaker 2: MM see sometimes I don't like when it's just centric

3410
02:07:47,800 --> 02:07:50,400
Speaker 2: on one thing because they say you do emoji, it's

3411
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 2: the head coach or universal. We can have him list

3412
02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:56,880
Speaker 2: his top three things selling points at Nebraska and we

3413
02:07:56,920 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 2: can all rate it by one word. It's almost like

3414
02:07:58,880 --> 02:08:01,560
Speaker 2: it's almost like, yeah, it's and it would probably be

3415
02:08:02,320 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 2: basic because it's going to be education.

3416
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:08,080
Speaker 3: But what he's already said, it's gonna be Nebraska U

3417
02:08:08,960 --> 02:08:09,919
Speaker 3: Educational University.

3418
02:08:10,120 --> 02:08:13,680
Speaker 5: We have the most academic all Americans of any athletic

3419
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:15,879
Speaker 5: department in the country, over one hundred more than Stanford.

3420
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Well that might just be in Nebraska just giving out

3421
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:23,200
Speaker 1: good grades. I'm just saying it could be I'm over here,

3422
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm now, I'm now on outside. I've walked outside the box.

3423
02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:29,560
Speaker 1: If Michigan wantitude, that they would because they're a top

3424
02:08:29,600 --> 02:08:31,640
Speaker 1: fifteen public school in the entire world. We'll get just

3425
02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:33,200
Speaker 1: start dishing out as to the boys. Now, the whole

3426
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 1: team's academical Americans.

3427
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:37,839
Speaker 5: It's all sports at just across the old department, one

3428
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 5: hundred more than Stanford.

3429
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:41,000
Speaker 3: You're doing something, you're doing something, you're doing something, You're

3430
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 3: going to do something right. Tell them what stands for

3431
02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 3: Nebraska I can't do it. Knowledge, I can't do it.

3432
02:08:47,160 --> 02:08:48,640
Speaker 3: I knew, I knew the joke, but I couldn't do it.

3433
02:08:49,920 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 3: I couldn't do it. That I got the joke, I

3434
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:56,800
Speaker 3: feel like any other like, oh that's nice, that's nice.

3435
02:08:56,840 --> 02:08:58,840
Speaker 3: I can't do it, he said, I can't do it, dude,

3436
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:02,360
Speaker 3: all right, we'll do emoji. So well, do you want

3437
02:09:02,360 --> 02:09:03,200
Speaker 3: to explain our tear talk?

3438
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:05,720
Speaker 2: So tiar talk is essentially are you familiar with t

3439
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:07,400
Speaker 2: your talks if you've caught up on some episodes, So

3440
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:10,960
Speaker 2: tier talk is essentially tier one, Tier two, tier three.

3441
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:12,960
Speaker 2: You can throw it an honorable mention if you'd like to,

3442
02:09:13,800 --> 02:09:17,120
Speaker 2: but essentially your top three emojis. Our tier talk today

3443
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:20,600
Speaker 2: for this episode is going to be emojis, since you

3444
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:24,240
Speaker 2: are basically the emoji king. I'm trying, do we need

3445
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,240
Speaker 2: to take a second. I kind of need to see exactly.

3446
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out which avenue I want to

3447
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:29,280
Speaker 2: go down.

3448
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.

3449
02:09:30,240 --> 02:09:32,280
Speaker 3: There's some fun stuff out there. There's some fun stuff

3450
02:09:32,280 --> 02:09:33,880
Speaker 3: out there. Might try to be unprofessional in front of

3451
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 3: coach rule.

3452
02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Yourself, stay horny, my boy, exactly, all right.

3453

3454
02:09:51,720 --> 02:09:55,400
Speaker 3: cap to the moon, the moon emoji, the dark moon emoji.

3455
02:09:55,800 --> 02:09:57,600
Speaker 2: In fact, when you throw that, if you add that

3456
02:09:57,680 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 2: to your bag and you saw that in there, it

3457
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 2: throws people off, like what does even mean by that?

3458
02:10:00,880 --> 02:10:04,000
Speaker 2: But it's funny looking. You just randomly throw it in

3459
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:06,160
Speaker 2: a conversation. I'm telling you it's good. Added to your back.

3491
02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:13,440
Speaker 1: just means so much. That is the goat emoji. When

3492
02:12:13,480 --> 02:12:15,720
Speaker 1: you put out the goat emoji, you know we all

3493
02:12:15,800 --> 02:12:18,680

3494
02:12:18,720 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 1: a tip of the cap to whatever individually you might

3495
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:21,360
Speaker 1: be referring to at that time.

3496

3498
02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:37,840
Speaker 1: helped me send that Morse code out letting everybody know

3499
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:41,680
Speaker 1: where I'm at. I need them vegetables, and that goes

3502
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:48,560
Speaker 1: the last six months. But I love it with a passion.

3503
02:12:49,360 --> 02:12:52,840
Speaker 3: That is the salute. I think this salute is.

3504
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:59,040

3505
02:12:59,160 --> 02:13:02,840

02:17:02,879 --> 02:17:04,400
Speaker 2: Of course it is because we're not gonna let other

3587
02:17:04,440 --> 02:17:06,840
Speaker 2: coaches do if we're gonna you know, Michigan, I mean

3588
02:17:06,920 --> 02:17:08,160
Speaker 2: we could let other coaches come on it.

3589
02:17:08,280 --> 02:17:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll probably, I mean probably any coach that once

3590
02:17:10,440 --> 02:17:16,760
Speaker 3: we'll publicly. Yeah, we have anything else. The boys in

3591
02:17:16,800 --> 02:17:20,280
Speaker 3: the back. I've got one question, jack you can always

3592
02:17:20,280 --> 02:17:21,000
Speaker 3: count on Jackie Boy.

3593
02:17:21,160 --> 02:17:25,080
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty six, Nebraska scheduled a non conference game

3594
02:17:25,440 --> 02:17:29,080
Speaker 7: that will be taking place in Lincoln, and it's against

3595
02:17:29,080 --> 02:17:30,280
Speaker 7: the Tennessee volunteers.

3596
02:17:31,200 --> 02:17:33,280
Speaker 8: I would just like to know what your game plan

3597
02:17:33,480 --> 02:17:34,680
Speaker 8: is so we can be ready in.

3598
02:17:34,720 --> 02:17:40,800
Speaker 3: Three years repeat the Orange Bowl.

3599
02:17:41,360 --> 02:17:44,920
Speaker 7: But realistically, i'm because we'll obviously big husk here.

3600
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:45,760
Speaker 3: I went to Tennessee.

3601
02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:48,200
Speaker 7: I'm a big balls fan, and I'm really excited for

3602
02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:51,000
Speaker 7: that game, even though it's three years away, because we

3603
02:17:51,120 --> 02:17:54,360
Speaker 7: don't get to have the same competitive nature that Will

3604
02:17:54,400 --> 02:17:56,960
Speaker 7: and Taylor do with Nebraska Michigan or how me and

3605
02:17:57,000 --> 02:17:59,760
Speaker 7: Garrett do is Alabama and Tennessee. So I'm excited to

3606
02:17:59,760 --> 02:18:03,400
Speaker 7: see some big ten SEC matchups. I guess, like a

3607
02:18:03,480 --> 02:18:06,720
Speaker 7: realistic question is with you being new there and Josh

3608
02:18:06,800 --> 02:18:10,240
Speaker 7: Hypel just coming in within the last two years, you

3609
02:18:10,879 --> 02:18:12,520
Speaker 7: do you think you're gonna be on the same page.

3610
02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:16,760
Speaker 7: How Josh has taking Tennessee not in the same necessarily

3611
02:18:16,879 --> 02:18:18,880
Speaker 7: ballpark and like in terms of success.

3612
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:22,879
Speaker 3: But where am I going with us? We're going eleven

3613
02:18:22,920 --> 02:18:25,160
Speaker 3: and one into the Orange Bowl. Brothers, what you're.

3614
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:27,560
Speaker 7: Saying, yeah, how do you plan on getting your guys

3615
02:18:27,640 --> 02:18:30,320
Speaker 7: to buy in the way Hypel's gotten his guys to

3616
02:18:30,400 --> 02:18:31,440
Speaker 7: buy in the last good way?

3617
02:18:31,480 --> 02:18:34,160
Speaker 5: To round it out, Jack, first of all, say this,

3618
02:18:34,200 --> 02:18:35,600
Speaker 5: I thing, I think Josh has done a great job

3619
02:18:35,840 --> 02:18:38,800
Speaker 5: he really has, you know what, I I don't try

3620
02:18:38,840 --> 02:18:39,720
Speaker 5: to get guys to buy in.

3621
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:42,120
Speaker 3: I just try to do what we do. And I'm sorry.

3622
02:18:42,120 --> 02:18:44,080
Speaker 5: I try to do what we do and hope that

3623
02:18:44,160 --> 02:18:47,400
Speaker 5: they believe in it. But I do think that these

3624
02:18:47,760 --> 02:18:49,240
Speaker 5: the guys at Nebraska are hungry to win.

3625
02:18:49,240 --> 02:18:49,760
Speaker 3: They want to win.

3626
02:18:49,800 --> 02:18:51,640
Speaker 5: It's not one of those deals where it's like, who's

3627
02:18:51,680 --> 02:18:54,600
Speaker 5: this guy that hopefully you know, they believe what we're

3628
02:18:54,600 --> 02:18:56,840
Speaker 5: going to do. And I didn't come to lose.

3629
02:18:56,920 --> 02:18:59,160
Speaker 3: I'll say that much. I didn't not come to lose.

3630
02:19:01,640 --> 02:19:03,920
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty six, before you go a bit, twenty twenty

Speaker 1: after the podcast, Mitchie. What's your question, bubb.

3646
02:19:52,879 --> 02:19:56,360
Speaker 6: So you're from Stay College, Pah, What was it like

3647
02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:57,280
Speaker 6: playing under Joe Pah?

3648
02:19:58,360 --> 02:19:58,959
Speaker 3: It was awesome.

3649
02:20:00,040 --> 02:20:03,200
Speaker 5: Know one thing about coach Paterno was he uh he

3650
02:20:03,440 --> 02:20:06,120
Speaker 5: like he was you know, he was a little bit

3651
02:20:06,160 --> 02:20:08,280
Speaker 5: older when I got there. He had so much energy

3652
02:20:08,360 --> 02:20:11,120
Speaker 5: at practice, like you could not you could not not

3653
02:20:11,280 --> 02:20:15,040
Speaker 5: go hard. And he held the best players the most accountable.

3654
02:20:15,120 --> 02:20:16,400
Speaker 5: Like a lot of a lot of coaches like they'll

3655
02:20:16,400 --> 02:20:18,440
Speaker 5: they'll crush the walk ons, they let the best players

3656
02:20:18,440 --> 02:20:20,720
Speaker 5: do what they want. Not Joe Like he was gonna

3657
02:20:20,760 --> 02:20:23,520
Speaker 5: hold our best players the most accountable. So a guy

3658
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:25,200
Speaker 5: like me that was just like I was like, if

3659
02:20:25,200 --> 02:20:27,120
Speaker 5: he's gonna do that to Kyle Brady or catch on

3660
02:20:27,240 --> 02:20:28,320
Speaker 5: a Carter, I better stay.

3661
02:20:28,959 --> 02:20:30,800
Speaker 3: And I think that that that meant a lot to me.

3662
02:20:30,840 --> 02:20:33,480
Speaker 8: I learned a lot from him. And he was a man.

3663
02:20:33,560 --> 02:20:35,800
Speaker 8: He was a He was a maniac in a good way.

3664
02:20:35,840 --> 02:20:36,360
Speaker 3: At practice.

3665
02:20:36,400 --> 02:20:38,640
Speaker 5: Man, he would run around and I mean when I

3666
02:20:38,760 --> 02:20:41,400
Speaker 5: was on the scout team, I was on the scout team,

3667
02:20:41,680 --> 02:20:44,400
Speaker 5: and I forget it was Curtisinis whoever like was injured,

3668
02:20:44,440 --> 02:20:46,800
Speaker 5: say the green jersey, which means don't touch him. He

3669
02:20:46,800 --> 02:20:47,920
Speaker 5: can practice, but don't touch him.

3670

3824
02:26:27,200 --> 02:26:29,280
Speaker 5: him for three or four years. Like I he could

3825
02:26:29,280 --> 02:26:31,240
Speaker 5: have stayed in the NFL. It's just his loyalty to

3826
02:26:31,280 --> 02:26:33,400
Speaker 5: me that he would even leave the NFL. He he

3827
02:26:33,400 --> 02:26:36,040
Speaker 5: could have stayed for multiple piece. I think he's I

3828
02:26:36,080 --> 02:26:38,240
Speaker 5: think he's gonna be I think he's gonna be brilliant.

3829
02:26:38,280 --> 02:26:43,040
Speaker 5: And you know, for me, the program, will you know,

3830
02:26:43,360 --> 02:26:46,000
Speaker 5: I'll run the overall program, like you know, like there's

3831
02:26:47,280 --> 02:26:49,800
Speaker 5: the players are gonna be loved, but they're they're also

3832
02:26:49,840 --> 02:26:52,000
Speaker 5: gonna you know, we have standards. They're all everybody's gonna

3833
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:54,520
Speaker 5: do it there you're eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one. There's

3834
02:26:54,560 --> 02:26:56,640
Speaker 5: gonna be ups and downs, and I'm low key about that.

3835
02:26:57,680 --> 02:26:59,760
Speaker 5: But we really want guys who want to be pros.

3836
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:01,879
Speaker 5: We really want guys who want to be good players.

3837
02:27:01,879 --> 02:27:03,680
Speaker 5: And so to me, what I've learned over time is like,

3838
02:27:04,560 --> 02:27:06,160
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes people think I should go play for

3839
02:27:06,240 --> 02:27:07,480
Speaker 5: him because he played in the league this long.

3840
02:27:07,520 --> 02:27:08,280
Speaker 3: I actually go play for this.

3841
02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:10,600
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, the coach can help

3842
02:27:10,600 --> 02:27:12,120
Speaker 5: you be better, he can, you know what I'm saying,

3843
02:27:12,200 --> 02:27:14,560
Speaker 5: Like if if, like when I went to be the

3844
02:27:14,560 --> 02:27:15,959
Speaker 5: assistant online coach of the Giants.

3845
02:27:15,680 --> 02:27:17,240
Speaker 8: I'd never I'm not an old lineman.

3846
02:27:17,640 --> 02:27:18,320
Speaker 3: How could I help?

3847
02:27:18,360 --> 02:27:18,480
Speaker 1: Well?

3848
02:27:18,480 --> 02:27:18,720
Speaker 3: I could.

3849
02:27:18,720 --> 02:27:21,800
Speaker 8: I could break down every move that Geno Atkins had done.

3850
02:27:21,879 --> 02:27:23,280
Speaker 5: I could go to these guys who are all pros

3851
02:27:23,320 --> 02:27:25,160
Speaker 5: and be like, hey, look I broke down two hundred snaps.

3852
02:27:25,160 --> 02:27:25,600
Speaker 3: Here's what I got.

3853
02:27:26,240 --> 02:27:28,160
Speaker 5: I found the way to create value for myself. So

3854
02:27:28,760 --> 02:27:31,120
Speaker 5: to me, the best coaches are the ones who can

3855
02:27:31,200 --> 02:27:33,680
Speaker 5: help you be a good player. And so when you've

3856
02:27:33,959 --> 02:27:36,320
Speaker 5: when you've coached in the NFL and now you come

3857
02:27:36,400 --> 02:27:38,800
Speaker 5: back to college, I just think he's I think he

3858
02:27:38,959 --> 02:27:40,520
Speaker 5: and some of the other guys that hired a young guys,

3859
02:27:40,560 --> 02:27:43,040
Speaker 5: I think they're brilliant. I just I got tired of

3860
02:27:43,120 --> 02:27:45,040
Speaker 5: hiring coaches with big names who didn't really want to

3861
02:27:45,080 --> 02:27:46,480
Speaker 5: put the work in. You know what I'm saying, Like,

3862
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:49,080
Speaker 5: I got tired of hiring coaches who have like their

3863
02:27:49,080 --> 02:27:50,840
Speaker 5: own personal brand, Like I want guys who are in

3864
02:27:50,920 --> 02:27:52,920
Speaker 5: it for the players. As a player, I believe you

3865
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:54,480
Speaker 5: can feel whether the coach is in it for you

3866
02:27:54,640 --> 02:27:56,920
Speaker 5: or not. And so if a player doesn't want that,

3867
02:27:56,959 --> 02:27:59,560
Speaker 5: then he's probably not right for us. But yeah, I

3868
02:27:59,640 --> 02:28:00,560
Speaker 5: had a lot of will say that to me, and

3869
02:28:00,600 --> 02:28:02,240
Speaker 5: I honestly, can I tell you how I really feel

3870
02:28:02,360 --> 02:28:04,320
Speaker 5: kind of like you guys brought me here because you're

3871
02:28:04,360 --> 02:28:05,240
Speaker 5: not winning, So why are you?

3872
02:28:05,560 --> 02:28:06,880
Speaker 8: Why are you worried about what I'm doing?

3873
02:28:06,959 --> 02:28:08,760
Speaker 5: Just let me do it, like like wait three years

3874
02:28:08,800 --> 02:28:10,959
Speaker 5: and then but sometimes you know there's so much interest

3875
02:28:10,959 --> 02:28:12,680
Speaker 5: you're gonna kind of be into it a lot, Like

3876
02:28:13,280 --> 02:28:15,200
Speaker 5: like I believe we're gonna win, and I believe we're

3877
02:28:15,200 --> 02:28:17,680
Speaker 5: gonna win doing it this way. You know, as I go,

3878
02:28:17,760 --> 02:28:19,960
Speaker 5: I'll adapt and learn. And I don't know Nebraska yet.

3879
02:28:20,120 --> 02:28:21,880
Speaker 5: But the smartest thing, hopefully that I can do is

3880
02:28:22,640 --> 02:28:25,480
Speaker 5: is put the right people in the building. And Garrett,

3881
02:28:25,480 --> 02:28:27,320
Speaker 5: I think is telling you I think he's gonna be

3882
02:28:27,320 --> 02:28:28,880
Speaker 5: a I think he's be a head coach today. And

3883
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:31,280
Speaker 5: so like having Cooper my dB coach, I've I've had

3884
02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:33,520
Speaker 5: him with me forever. Some of the top coaches in football,

3885
02:28:33,600 --> 02:28:35,680
Speaker 5: like Fran Brown's a dB coach at George, like I

3886
02:28:35,760 --> 02:28:38,039
Speaker 5: gave him his first job. Elijah Robinson's a D line

3887
02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:39,960
Speaker 5: coach at A and M. He's making one point two

3888
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:41,520
Speaker 5: million to be the D line coach. Everyone tries to

3889
02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:43,520
Speaker 5: hire him as their DC, like I hired him as

3890
02:28:43,520 --> 02:28:45,840
Speaker 5: from a player development guy. So I've always hired young

3891
02:28:45,920 --> 02:28:48,160
Speaker 5: people that I think that guy is gonna be special.

3892
02:28:48,200 --> 02:28:51,360
Speaker 5: And I watched them take off, and I think that's.

3893
02:28:51,240 --> 02:28:54,600
Speaker 3: What Gary will do. Mhmm. Coach, I appreciate you coming on.

3894
02:28:54,720 --> 02:28:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you's been fucking awesome for retanding.
