Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody.
Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks, DJ Buck with you and
Speaker 1: excited to have the new head football coach at Appalachian
Speaker 1: State University, dow Login's joining the show. Coach. How are
Speaker 1: we doing?
Speaker 2: Doing great? Wonderful to be sitting this office right now,
Speaker 2: and so much respect for the people that have come
Speaker 2: before me, like you that every day I walk down
Speaker 2: the hall and I see your face on the on
Speaker 2: the wall. So unbelievable opportunity. I'm so excited to be
Speaker 2: on with you guys today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get We're gonna get through the whole background
Speaker 1: and what's got you to this point. But I do
Speaker 1: have to ask you what was the what was the
Speaker 1: biggest surprise for you so far since you've been there.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, So I had an opportunity to meet
Speaker 2: with all the players, the previous staff, a bunch of donors,
Speaker 2: a bunch of supporters, But just the biggest surprise is
Speaker 2: how much pride that the people have in this place
Speaker 2: and whether the community the region that it is a
Speaker 2: place that is loved. There's a very high standard here
Speaker 2: and the expectation is to win, and you just you
Speaker 2: walk by and it's all these pictures of rings and
Speaker 2: conference championships and all these great alumni it's been. You
Speaker 2: just feel it's really hard to be in a place
Speaker 2: that they don't understand what winning looks like. It's just
Speaker 2: it's hard to create it and you can sell a vision.
Speaker 2: But intrigue me about this place is they know how
Speaker 2: to win, and winning is really important around here, and
Speaker 2: they do it the right way.
Speaker 3: You know, coaching and thinking about that, doing it the
Speaker 3: right way, and really a different frontier that you're stepping
Speaker 3: into college landscape. Like you hear everyone talk about how
Speaker 3: crazy it is with the port and the different timelines
Speaker 3: and those things. So how challenging has it been to
Speaker 3: manage all of the portal stuff while also trying to
Speaker 3: assemble the staff and put together all of the other
Speaker 3: things that you have to do as a new head coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a challenge. And I don't know if
Speaker 2: the calendar is the way it should be, but it
Speaker 2: is what it is. So right now, this is what
Speaker 2: we're worried about our own players, keeping them, retaining the
Speaker 2: ones we want to retain. You're dealing with in Io,
Speaker 2: which is NFL free AC with no salary cap. You're
Speaker 2: trying to assess what's in the portal doesn't make you better.
Speaker 2: But here's where you can make mistakes. If you don't
Speaker 2: research a kid, if you don't talk to the trainer
Speaker 2: of the place he's coming from, you don't talk to
Speaker 2: the strength coach, if you don't talk to the high
Speaker 2: school coach, you're not being thorough. So you got to
Speaker 2: be thorough and go through the process of evaluation to
Speaker 2: make sure you're doing all those things right. And because
Speaker 2: you're so limited and everything, it's speed dating. On top
Speaker 2: of trying to figure out is there people on the
Speaker 2: staff you want to keep or trying to get people
Speaker 2: at other programs that you want to come be part
Speaker 2: of your staff. Some people are still playing, some people
Speaker 2: in a college football playoff. So it's a challenging time
Speaker 2: as a college coach, but it's why we sign up
Speaker 2: for these opportunities to figure it out, and it's get
Speaker 2: the calendar is what it is. You'd love to make
Speaker 2: some edits to it, but you make the most of
Speaker 2: the the situation and there there is definitely a lot going.
Speaker 1: On after after a decade plus in the NFL. Uh,
Speaker 1: you go back to Arkansas, get a couple of years
Speaker 1: coaching there, then a very successful stint as O see
Speaker 1: there at South Carolina. How beneficial was having that little
Speaker 1: buffer college experience before you step into this role as
Speaker 1: a head coach at the collegiate level versus maybe just
Speaker 1: coming straight from the NFL and jumping right into that gig.
Speaker 2: You know, it was beneficial. There was also between the
Speaker 2: Jets when they let the head coach go for about
Speaker 2: a four month a cup of coffee. Wuld coach Franklint
Speaker 2: Penn State, Okay. And so when we we had an
Speaker 2: unbelievable general manager at the New York Jets, I learned
Speaker 2: a ton from Joe Douglas obviously about the evaluation process,
Speaker 2: and he is a bright evaluator. He is a very
Speaker 2: talented person, a stud of a human being. Learned a
Speaker 2: ton from him. So it was fortunate to be around him.
Speaker 2: And then you know, we're trying to make the transition
Speaker 2: into the NFL and you go to places and you see,
Speaker 2: you know, the the structure between the ownership, the general manager,
Speaker 2: the head coach, and you know, got really intrigued with
Speaker 2: college football and so coach frankl had an opportunity, and
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure. I didn't want to take the job.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like, hey, I'm still getting paid by
Speaker 2: the Jets. A couple of NFL opportunities, but I never
Speaker 2: coached in college. I had an interest in the pageantry,
Speaker 2: the tradition, the history of college football. So I went
Speaker 2: to with coach Franklin for about four months. Learned about
Speaker 2: this guy's created a consistency at a program for a
Speaker 2: long period of time, and he's really bright and he's
Speaker 2: a forward thinker. And I watched how he grinded recruiting,
Speaker 2: and this guy's Freddy Krueger recruiting. It's talked about every day,
Speaker 2: and I mean I remember walking to the staff meetings
Speaker 2: every morning at seven fifteen and he's asking, He's going
Speaker 2: around to the Hey, who'd you talk to last night?
Speaker 2: Who'd you talk to? This is who I talked to.
Speaker 2: And when the head coach recruits the way he recruits,
Speaker 2: it's no secret why they've built longevity over a long
Speaker 2: period of time. And then Sam Pittman calls me. He's
Speaker 2: the head coach of ARCS. I'm an alum and played there,
Speaker 2: and I've never met him in my life and he's
Speaker 2: telling me, hey, come come to Arkansas and helped me out.
Speaker 2: And I said, Coach, I don't want to if if
Speaker 2: it doesn't work out, I don't if I if I
Speaker 2: stayed for a year, I don't want to be mad
Speaker 2: at me. He's that you're doing your university of favor
Speaker 2: if you come back. So as a guy, if y'all
Speaker 2: need me, I'm gonna I'll come for one year. That's
Speaker 2: all I'm promising. And so I go to Arkansas and
Speaker 2: Coach Franklin was great through the process. He's like, hey, look,
Speaker 2: if you want to do this, you need to go
Speaker 2: prove you and recruit in the SEC. We know you
Speaker 2: can coach. You've been a coordinator in the NFL Ford differteam.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah. You got to go prove you
Speaker 2: recruit in the SEC. So we go to Arkansas as
Speaker 2: a tight end coach and for about nine weeks, I
Speaker 2: think I was the twenty four to seven, like number
Speaker 2: one recruiter of the year, whatever that means. And I'm
Speaker 2: I had a chip on my shoulder because there are
Speaker 2: people that, hey, in this guy recruit He's only coach
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and I just watched Freddy Krueger for
Speaker 2: four months recruit and so I'm like, hey, we can
Speaker 2: just outwork people and signed players like we're willing to
Speaker 2: do more than the next guy. So go there and
Speaker 2: it was signed a great class and I liked it.
Speaker 2: So I stayed the second year at Arkansas. I enjoyed
Speaker 2: the players, I enjoyed the atmosphere college football. And then
Speaker 2: the opportunity came to South Carolina and it was a
Speaker 2: coordinator job, and it took me a little bit of
Speaker 2: time to make a decision. I was talking to two
Speaker 2: or three different SEC schools by the coordinator job, but
Speaker 2: there was something about South Carolina and Spencer Ratler. They
Speaker 2: didn't really intrigue me because of Spence. So I go
Speaker 2: there and Spence has a good year. I think we're
Speaker 2: third in the conference in passing, and we developed this.
Speaker 2: I remember I was telling the recruit this today, probably
Speaker 2: about this time two years ago, this big six, two
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifteen pound guy walks in my office
Speaker 2: and I'm like, hey, what's up. And he's like, Hey, Paul,
Speaker 2: I mean maybe I should just transfer. He just the
Speaker 2: balls had found me an unbelievable country kid. I said,
Speaker 2: give me to the night. I said, because I think
Speaker 2: I might see something in you that you don't see yourself.
Speaker 2: And he gives us till May and I'll watch him.
Speaker 2: He's the hardest worker on the team. He's out there
Speaker 2: NonStop competing, bought into everything we asked him. And he'd
Speaker 2: only had one hundred and seven yards for his career.
Speaker 2: And his name is exaber L again and he won
Speaker 2: the first round. But he's just extremely talented kid that
Speaker 2: bought into everything we asked him to do. And a
Speaker 2: great story about x H. We're sitting down draft day
Speaker 2: and it's the NFL Draft first round and he's he's
Speaker 2: projected you ever late first, early second, And on draft
Speaker 2: Day he's out on the I'm watching looking at my
Speaker 2: window and I'm watching him and Leonor Sellers run roundes
Speaker 2: on draft Day, and I just it was who the
Speaker 2: kid is? He earned everything he got and just had
Speaker 2: a great time at the South Carolina And the second year,
Speaker 2: we have a quarterback that no one knows and everyone's
Speaker 2: picking us to win four games. And when I got
Speaker 2: there South Carolina, they weren't recruiting him. He was committed
Speaker 2: to Syracuse and I watched his tape and Daniel appreciate
Speaker 2: this about the recruiting process and evaluation process. He'd won everywhere.
Speaker 2: He'd been great soccer player, score like twenty nine goals
Speaker 2: in high school, which great. Yeah, great feet, which obviously
Speaker 2: there's a comparison to quarterback play. I think boxers. People
Speaker 2: at the boxers because they always have a Bay soccer
Speaker 2: player's great feet move in the pocket. And he had
Speaker 2: a pedigree of winning, and he'd overcome hard, he'd tore
Speaker 2: a cl overcame hard things, and he was just this roll,
Speaker 2: roll kid. And I'm like, I walk in, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: why have we not offered this kind of like, well,
Speaker 2: do you like him? I'm like yeah. So we go
Speaker 2: on and we got about ten days to sign him.
Speaker 2: He's committed to Syracuse. And this kid, he's not asked
Speaker 2: about nil, he's not asking about recruiting trips. He's asked
Speaker 2: about protections, can you change protections? What's the passing game
Speaker 2: look like? How are you going to develop me? What's
Speaker 2: your year round process for developing quarterbacks? And we get
Speaker 2: him and and no one knows about him struggles for
Speaker 2: about three games this year. It was choppy. The first
Speaker 2: three or four games of season he played Battigains Old Dominion,
Speaker 2: but then the last six weeks of season he gets
Speaker 2: as hot as any quarterback and in the in the conference,
Speaker 2: in the country. I think he's the best quarterback in
Speaker 2: the country right now. And just an unbelievable time getting
Speaker 2: to coach little Horse Sellers. I mean, I'm unbelievable. I
Speaker 2: tell in the interview process, so I don't know if
Speaker 2: I've told DJ this or not, but they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: what would hold you off from taking this job? It's
Speaker 2: a state like all the winds and tradition and the brand,
Speaker 2: Like there's one thing I got to call the Norse
Speaker 2: Sellers and tell him I'm leaving, oh, and that that
Speaker 2: was hard, and it's like you talked about the only
Speaker 2: thing that you struggle with me. I have an unbelievable,
Speaker 2: unbelievable opportunity to sit in a chair like this and
Speaker 2: represent the people that have come before me at this place.
Speaker 2: But to make that phone call, but what I would
Speaker 2: it's a blessing to have him in our lives and
Speaker 2: texta with him twenty minutes ago about the two minute
Speaker 2: drill practice yesterday, because obviously I can't be there, and
Speaker 2: I'm here working and recruiting, but just so so fortunate
Speaker 2: to have the people in my life that I've had,
Speaker 2: the mentors I've had, and so blessed to be right
Speaker 2: here right now.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take quick break. We'll be right back with
Speaker 1: diw Logins.
Speaker 3: You know, Coach, There's so many things out of that
Speaker 3: little conversation, But what I'm hearing is we can talk
Speaker 3: about portal and a new way of building the team,
Speaker 3: but it still seems like relationships matter. So as you're
Speaker 3: thinking about building your program and we're talking about building
Speaker 3: it over time, how do you balance that, Hey, we
Speaker 3: have so many high school kids, we have so many
Speaker 3: portal guys, I have the current team. How do you
Speaker 3: build all that but to get everyone to really be
Speaker 3: a part of the team and not a bunch of
Speaker 3: mercenaries trying to seek their own individual success.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is. I want the whole thing to
Speaker 2: be built on two things. That's relationships and competition. And
Speaker 2: relationships are all only build a great trust. And you
Speaker 2: have to build related In twenty twenty four and twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five, you have to do old relationships where they
Speaker 2: really struggle to walk in here and say, coach, I
Speaker 2: want to check out the transfer port and there might
Speaker 2: be more out there. And we've had a lot of
Speaker 2: success here in the last you know, a week or two.
Speaker 2: We've kept a lot of them. And we've got some
Speaker 2: kids jumping back in just because the other ones are
Speaker 2: talking about, Hey, this feels different and there's real relationships,
Speaker 2: and I'm down. They're they're barging in the office. I
Speaker 2: got meeting with the recruits and they're barging in the office.
Speaker 2: They knock it pop in. I'm like, hey, hold on now,
Speaker 2: like you want you want that kind of you want
Speaker 2: where they want to hang around, they want to come
Speaker 2: sit on your couch and talk, because that's what's going
Speaker 2: to keep them here. And when these these SEC schools
Speaker 2: start trying to tamper with your roster, like you have
Speaker 2: to have great relationships and it is a it's a
Speaker 2: great question buck to the how do you build this
Speaker 2: thing is And we look at like the NFL, The
Speaker 2: NFL model of high school is the high school recruiting
Speaker 2: is a draft. The portal is createc and d J
Speaker 2: can appreciate this because he learned from the Godfather's scouting
Speaker 2: Ozzie Newsoen the Ravens and Steelers are about the last
Speaker 2: thirty years. I know you probably don't like me mentioned
Speaker 2: the Steelers, but the last twenty years have been the
Speaker 2: most consistent teams in the NFL. And they built consistency
Speaker 2: through nailing the draft and nailing the evaluation process. And
Speaker 2: then you supplement with freeation, which is a transfer portal.
Speaker 2: And once you're if you're doing a great job of
Speaker 2: evaluation with the high school kids, then it's about roster attention.
Speaker 2: And unfortunately we don't have There are no boundaries, so
Speaker 2: you're not tied to contract. There is no salary cap.
Speaker 2: So you better have great relationships to when it gets
Speaker 2: when it gets people trying to get into your your
Speaker 2: play current players, dms, and their high school coaches and
Speaker 2: their trainers, you better have great relationships where there's open
Speaker 2: lines of communication to continue to pursue those guys there
Speaker 2: and keep them here.
Speaker 1: Well, how is the conversation along those lines is I've
Speaker 1: always been curious about that. The guy comes in your
Speaker 1: office and you you look around in that building now
Speaker 1: and you can see the number of players have come
Speaker 1: out of that program that've played in the NFL. How
Speaker 1: do you relay the message to a kid to try
Speaker 1: and explain it tactfully that hey, I know that this
Speaker 1: X team has offering you a little more than we
Speaker 1: can offer you now, but you're literally stepping over a dollar,
Speaker 1: an NFL dollar to pick up a nickel, Like, how
Speaker 1: do you have that conversation? How does that go?
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's great question. We've had probably ten or
Speaker 2: fifteen SEC players in here, and you remind them, you know,
Speaker 2: the the SEC, the NIL is real there and it's
Speaker 2: been real for a long time. There they just do
Speaker 2: a public under But you also, we have a cell
Speaker 2: here that a lot of teams don't have, and that's
Speaker 2: seventeen years in the NFL and what that looks like
Speaker 2: and tailoring systems around skill sets and you know, we
Speaker 2: take we talk about what we did for Spencer. We
Speaker 2: were we were third in the conference in passing with Spencer.
Speaker 2: Then al Asodden, we get Rocket Sanders and Lenor's or
Speaker 2: Rock Sanders and Lenoris Sellers, and we're third in rushing
Speaker 2: and we went from being an outside zone team to
Speaker 2: a tight zone and gap gap team. So it's about building, uh,
Speaker 2: building systems, and you know, making the NFL the NFL
Speaker 2: piece of this attractive to them. It's also you know,
Speaker 2: I had a conversation with a kid this morning, like, Hey,
Speaker 2: you can go to this SCCC team or this SEC team,
Speaker 2: but you're coming from an SEC team, and you know
Speaker 2: what the bells and whistles are. You know what it
Speaker 2: looks like to play in front of one hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: But remember the feeling when you're driving through that cookout
Speaker 2: line with your girlfriend to get that milkshake, and you're
Speaker 2: really excited about winning that game, but you want to
Speaker 2: do more and you want to impact more. So there's
Speaker 2: an opportunity here as well to develop your skill set.
Speaker 2: And that's why I think we're going to be. We're
Speaker 2: in the We've had some kids here that in the
Speaker 2: past they haven't had here in the recruiting process and
Speaker 2: getting on visits, and I think we are. Our staff's
Speaker 2: done a nice job getting people here. We got to sign,
Speaker 2: you know, closing these guys out and sign sign them.
Speaker 2: But we have we have lots to sell here.
Speaker 3: Look it is it is a fascinating time when when
Speaker 3: I hear you talk about that as a head coach
Speaker 3: and thinking about like more responsibilit these on you play.
Speaker 3: You come from being an offensive coordinator, play call and
Speaker 3: all those things. How can you anticipate managing all that
Speaker 3: running the entire team, but knowing that the offense has
Speaker 3: always been your baby. Do you think you have a
Speaker 3: Is it going to be a challenge for you to
Speaker 3: leave that to go focus on all parts of the team. No.
Speaker 2: And I think you deal with the people. The people.
Speaker 2: You strind yourself by good people, and you play out
Speaker 2: their strengths, and if someone's better running the offense, you
Speaker 2: let them run the offense. If you make sure that
Speaker 2: you define roles. I think part of the advantage of
Speaker 2: being the NFL you understand the importance of having a
Speaker 2: good general manager and having a guy that can handle
Speaker 2: a cap and have good evaluators. The half the job
Speaker 2: of the head coach now is to evaluate the evaluators.
Speaker 2: Do you got to know which assistant coaches that are
Speaker 2: really good evaluators and you can trust and can project
Speaker 2: versus the guys that are really good at the solicitation
Speaker 2: part of recruiting and can and work really hard on
Speaker 2: those things. So I think it's managing people, and it's
Speaker 2: it's figuring out strengths and weaknesses. I think that's always
Speaker 2: the key to any any leadership uh role. It's also
Speaker 2: getting people that have the same vision of where the
Speaker 2: program is and what you know. DJ can tell you
Speaker 2: this and I learned it from one of his good friends,
Speaker 2: samau Washburn. It's you got to create a culture of
Speaker 2: when you go talk about the mashed potatoes, you got
Speaker 2: to say, hey, those are purple mashed potatoes, because that's
Speaker 2: your greatness scale, and purple's good and red's elite, and
Speaker 2: blue blues elite, Red's reds good and purple's average. Well,
Speaker 2: these are purple mashed potatoes. And you create a vision
Speaker 2: where everyone's talking the same but hey, we got blue state.
Speaker 2: And when you're talking about a player, you're talking about, hey,
Speaker 2: Leonora Sellers has blue feet and he's you know, he's
Speaker 2: got red arm arm town or he's got you know,
Speaker 2: red accuracy. So you're creating a culture of alignment, and
Speaker 2: you're creating a culture of a so so you can
Speaker 2: create the same vision for everything. And the only way
Speaker 2: to do it is I remember with being washes All
Speaker 2: flying coach with the Bears and Dolphins, and he'd walk
Speaker 2: in by now mashed potatoes are purple. Today, I knew
Speaker 2: exactly what that was so I was going down. I
Speaker 2: don't want I don't want average mashed potatoes right now.
Speaker 2: The common language, it's a common it's a common vision,
Speaker 2: and it's how you handle the ups and downs of this.
Speaker 2: I had a recruiting here today and asked, hey, coach,
Speaker 2: how do you handle uh buck to your point of
Speaker 2: what does it look like when you know things aren't
Speaker 2: going great and people think about South Carolina, they remember
Speaker 2: the nine wins, They forget about the three losses we
Speaker 2: had in a row. And we lose the Auburn Alabama
Speaker 2: on a two point conversion, we miss a throw, we
Speaker 2: lose to l s U where everyone in the country's
Speaker 2: talking about officiating, and we got beat by all mysts
Speaker 2: who just beat us. And then how do you keep
Speaker 2: that thing together and win six in a row? So
Speaker 2: it's it still comes down to people, and it comes
Speaker 2: down to relationships, and it kind of comes down to trust.
Speaker 1: Coach, if you had a chance to get any biscuits yet,
Speaker 1: have we got a chance to get to the Daniel
Speaker 1: boone in yet? Have we got a chance to really?
Speaker 2: We have a bath and the kids were here, they'll
Speaker 2: be back tonight and we we're going to try to
Speaker 2: go by there and it was closed. It closed at
Speaker 2: eight o'clock one night. But I've hit it. I've had
Speaker 2: a couple other spots. Okay, Yeah, So it's the food
Speaker 2: is good. Excited about that. I know how to get
Speaker 2: to the hotel and the football building. That's about us nice.
Speaker 1: It's a blue biscuit. I'm just going to tell you
Speaker 1: right now. It's a bit looks like, Yeah, that's fantastic. Hey, coach,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so excited for you. I'm rooting for you. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's going to be an exciting uh chapter here. And
Speaker 1: one of the things I got to tell you that's
Speaker 1: exciting about where college football is right now and people,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe don't love the way it's changed. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. Everything you can offer everything to a
Speaker 1: kid that comes to app State, there is an opportunity
Speaker 1: to get in the playoff to try and win a
Speaker 1: national championship. I never thought in a million years that
Speaker 1: that could be something you could sell at a place
Speaker 1: like app State, but you absolutely can now. But why
Speaker 1: set your your sites any lower than that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I agree on Henderson, and you don't want to
Speaker 2: be the unbelievable past history that you guys have created here,
Speaker 2: which wow, what a I mean, it's awesome, But don't
Speaker 2: let's not set our limits and our vision to just
Speaker 2: what we have accomplished. Let's push this thing further. It's
Speaker 2: ever been pushed before. So there is an opportunity to
Speaker 2: do really special things and add on the culture that
Speaker 2: you guys have already created of winning and so so
Speaker 2: much credit to you guys or what you have have
Speaker 2: created here, and it's it is a brand now that
Speaker 2: is nationally known and you can accomplish anything you want
Speaker 2: to accomplish right here.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. This has been fun. Best of luck
