So a lot of coaches looked at 178 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 6: him as as as what we say about rappers. Now, 179 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 6: he was an industry plant. You feel me, That's what 180 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 6: some coaches might feel about Dion. 181 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: He was an industry. He was a he was an industry. 182 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: He was a fucking plant. You get me. 183 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure, man, you have a number of coaches 184 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 4: who are jealous because, like you said, a lot of 185 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: people the path to usually become the Division one coaches 186 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 4: like this, You usually have a guy that plays college football. 187 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: He made you know, he may he may take a 188 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 4: run at the pros or whatever. 189 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: He may Yeah, I'm gonna hear me out, Hey I didn't. 190 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: He may come back to g then he may usually 191 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,119 Speaker 4: get a job at some little, you know, small university 192 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 4: of whatever, maybe come back to coaching at jays level 193 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: for a few years and get his first you know 194 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: position job. You know, they have to work their way up. 195 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 4: So I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people 196 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: that are jealous, But there is a hint of racism 197 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: in this, right because for sure, because you have a 198 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 4: number of guys that come from out of nowhere, they 199 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 4: get a high powered offensive coordinator job, but they usually 200 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 4: get lucky they first year, Right, they go somewhere and 201 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: they have a kid that performs well. So now they 202 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: got their new hot coach in the country, so to speak, 203 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 4: and they wind up getting the job that they're not 204 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 4: prepared for. I would say, don't hate the game, because 205 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 4: I think Dion is doing an excellent service for those kids, 206 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 4: and we need more coaches like him, more coaches that 207 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 4: can relate to the kids, more coaches that understand where these. 208 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: Kids come from. Because see Dion. 209 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: As a coach, he's out there setting the high expectation 210 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 4: of bar they have to have certain grades. He's just 211 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: not going by the regular curriculum. He's making people shoot 212 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 4: for the stars, so to speak. 213 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 214 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 4: He's expecting nothing but the best from these kids. I 215 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 4: would have left my son play for him, for sure, 216 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: Deon Sanders, because I know I spoke. I had a 217 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 4: pleasure of speaking of Dion a few times. He not 218 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 4: only recruited Chris when he was at the You know, 219 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 4: he recruited Chris, but he also called Chris in high 220 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 4: school a couple of times, which I thought was a 221 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: really big deal, told them a little stuff he could do 222 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 4: to help his game, told them what he liked the body, 223 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 4: told them what he needed to work on, somebody that 224 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: he can still reach out to to this day. Dion 225 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: does a whole bunch of stuff for kids, kids that 226 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 4: don't necessarily play for him, right, And I think we 227 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 4: need more coaches like that, because I think that's one 228 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: of the problems in college footballers. You see, you got 229 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 4: this old guard like you got the Nick Sabans of 230 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: the world. He doesn't like the nl live stuff. Me. 231 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 4: I don't think the nl LIE is necessarily a perfect system, 232 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 4: because I think it does take it's a distraction for 233 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 4: certain kids. If you don't have like, hey, I know 234 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: how you are as a father, You a great father. 235 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: You keep your son grounded. I keep my son ground 236 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 4: But if you got a kid at home that all 237 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: of a sudden is put in a position where he's 238 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: taking care of he's not ahead of the household, a 239 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 4: lot of kids can't handle that. You got some of 240 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 4: these kids making more than some of the coaches on 241 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 4: staff some of these lower Division I schools. Like you know, 242 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 4: you may have a guy that's the man at the 243 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: San Jose State that's making a buck twenty five years 244 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 4: a player in the a lot he may have in 245 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: a lot of stuff going on. Hell, his defensive coordinator 246 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 4: might be making seventy five thousand dollars a year. You 247 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: feel what I'm saying now, that's not the case of 248 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 4: the secrets. All those dudes out there making millions of 249 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 4: dollars to coach college football, you know, but I think 250 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: if they not grounded, man, that could become a recipe 251 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 4: for disaster. You got a lot of kids up there 252 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: that's losing their minds right now because it's all about 253 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: the bag. Like I get parents that called me all 254 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: the time and asked them how they should base their decision. 255 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people don't like hearing this. 256 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 4: I tell people, always pick a school that you do 257 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 4: want to go to that's gonna be good for you 258 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 4: later on once you're football careers, go be over with 259 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: go somewhere where you go get a quality education, and 260 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 4: go be able to go do something for yourself. Because 261 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 4: contrary to popular belief, when you get a college degree. 262 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: That's not gonna be a recipe just for you to 263 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: go get a job. 264 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 4: You're supposed to go there and actually make a quaintance 265 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: to some meet people and network and increase your network. 266 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 4: Because most of the opportunities that my son is getting 267 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 4: outside of football actually come from people that he made 268 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: friends with at the university. That wasn't necessarily you know, friends. 269 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: That's why I told them, when you go to school, 270 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: don't just hang around with the football team. 271 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all about relationships, you. 272 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 4: Know, go make some relationships.

You know, if 283 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 4: you had a scholarship, you weren't really allowed to make 284 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 4: no money. He was making so much money he got 285 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: into insurance and investments. 286 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: Early on. 287 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 4: I remember he came to us begging us to invest 288 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 4: in the stock called Google. This was back in ninety three. 289 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 4: He was saying, Man, you know y'all should put y'all. 290 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 4: I said, man, what kind of scam you got going on? 291 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 4: At giving you three hundred dollars of my money to go? 292 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: And he was like, I'm telling you, man, you put 293 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 4: this in, it's gonna pay diffidends. And now you know, 294 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: Shane is on his second marriage Brandon, probably his second 295 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 4: mansion right about now. But he's doing real well for himself. 296 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: But that's the exception, that's not the rule. Not seeing 297 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 4: the football players are necessarily bad students, but you got 298 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: a lot of kids in those universities that were going 299 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: to do some powerful stuff in this world. 300 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all about your connections man, inside or outside 301 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 5: of the game, Oh for sure, man, And. 302 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 4: I think definitely man from the not gonna get too 303 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 4: much into the because I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but 304 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 4: just know that there's a lot of racism and sports 305 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: man from the n C double a level man own 306 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 4: up to the pros man.

I think every artist man is going to 457 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 4: eventually go out. I think the business is designed that 458 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: way to where eventually, as you get older, you want 459 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 4: to start reaping more of the rewards.

You see, 1176 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the difference. 1177 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 4: Look at exhibit for example, even though exhibit don't claim 1178 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 4: no game, look at exhibit when he was doing a 1179 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,160 Speaker 4: ship with ras Cast and all them dudes margs, no 1180 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 4: career at best, had dope records, The foundation was dope 1181 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 4: as hell. All that stuff was dope. What you see 1182 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 4: is what you get. Incredible. But when he linked up 1183 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 4: with Dray and started talking about low lows and start 1184 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 4: crip walking, motherfucker blew up? 1185 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 1: Am I right?

The main factor is he went from 1188 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,439 Speaker 5: affiliation of alcoholics and King T to affiliation with Dray 1189 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:11,920 Speaker 5: and Snoop and being on there gangster shoot. He was 1190 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 5: doing that before, not to the magnitude per se, but 1191 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 5: he was definitely not talking soft by any means. He 1192 01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 5: was a hardcore artist all the time. 1193 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm thank some of some forty days and nights 1194 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 6: and ship. 1195 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't.
