23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: New developments in Elane Kiffin Ole, Miss Lsu Saga which

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: number one. I want to say first, overall, I appreciate

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: all the different twists and turns in this story because

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: this is something that just cut through the clutter, right,

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, just just the drama of him staying or going,

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: How open it was in the media, how his decision

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: is criticized, how the decision to let him go is criticized,

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: how the decision to let him stay and coach be criticized,

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: How lane Kiffin said he prayed on stuff and the

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: team wanted him to stay.

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: I just love that nothing this story.

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Is still going even though the big decision was made

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: lane Kiffin's head coach at LSU.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: I love that claiming he was almost run off the

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: road by people.

38
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: Then you add the Marty Smith interview again, I'm still

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: waiting for the violinist overlay for it in a little

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: band off to the side to play some sad music

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: as the tone and tenor.

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: It was like it was the worst day of his life.

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: It's like, no, dude, you're going to get a hundred

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: million dollars from LSU and anything you want. Like, you

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: can't be that sad seck about this. I mean, come on,

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: but all of it. It's been the second half of

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: the college football season. Right, we had the firings at

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: Penn State, which we talked about, we talk about Florida,

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: all of these things, and then obviously Brian Kelly and

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: more and more stories are emerging about how much people

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: really had a liking problem with him. To wit, we

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: have this from just in the last couple of hours.

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: A couple of Ole Miss players have now decided, Okay,

54
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: it's been twenty four hours. We have a new head

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: coach now here. We are going to punch back at

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: coach Kiffin. Kiffin puts out a statement that in retrospect,

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: is a really bad idea when he says, hey, I

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: prayed a lot figured it, you know, which is fine. Yeah,

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: I want you to know that I prayed a lot

60
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: over it. Oh, it has nothing to do with the money,

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity. No, I prayed over it.

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 3: Okay.

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: But one of the big things he said was that quote,

64
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: I was hoping to complete an historic six year historic

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: it's end historic.

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah he's missing an end.

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Lose his Copye a terrible You don't go to school

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: at ole Miss, right, it doesn't matter he didn't go. Okay,

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I was hoping to complete a historic sixth season run

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: with this year's team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs,

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: finish strong. Okay, Then he goes on to say that

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter denied his request to

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: stay coaching through the playoff quote despite the team also

75
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: they could better maintain their high level of performance. So

77
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: this is Lane Kiffin saying, Hey, I wanted to stay

78
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: this evil ad Keith Carter wouldn't let me do it,

79
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: despite the fact that team asked me to stay and

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: keep coaching. Well, this part has caught the attention of

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: a couple of players now, including starting center Bryson Sanders,

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: who put this on social media just an hour or

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: so ago.

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: Quote despite the team asking me to keep.

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: Coaching, I think everyone that was in that room would disagree.

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: This is what Bryson Sanders wrote on next despite the

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: team asking me to keep coaching, I think everyone that

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: was in that room would disagree. Right now, you also

89
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: had senior linebacker sun Treene Perkins, the second player to

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: refute Kiffin by saying that was not the message you

91
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: said in the meeting room. That's sell what you told

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the meeting room man, that's not the message you gave us,

93
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: this message of I wanted to stay, they wanted me

94
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: to stay. All this So you had one player say

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: everybody room would disagree, and now another player saying, that's

96
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: not the message you said in the meeting room.

97
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: First thing, I want to say. First, first thing, right away,

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: let's get the elephant out of the room.

99
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 4: Well.

100
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Then the second line was everybody who was in there

101
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: can vouch on this.

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: Yes, everyone was in there can vouch on this.

103
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: Right.

104
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: This is not one person saying I took it this web.

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: This was I'm speaking for everybody in that room, all

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty players. All of these guys are

00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: can't wait for the next guys to come toward right,

118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean, did you believe any of his statement? I

119
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: believe that he prayed, right, he that's part of that.

120
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: It's been consistent with how he's talked about decision making.

121
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: It's et cetera. And that's it. Right, he talked to

122
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: his family. Okay, I believe that. But he's also a

123
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: claiming he'd never talked to his agent about the money. Really, yeah,

124

Speaker 1: when he wrote it after the year after he went

160
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,000

Speaker 1: it on my Christmas Listen. I got it right, and

164
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: all I wanted to read about was, ah, what happened

165
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: behinds behind the scenes, how he went from Oakland when

166
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: they pushed him out and he gets a.

167
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: Job at Tampa.

00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Does he write like he speaks and this guy, this guy, yeah, yeah, Wait,

Speaker 1: isn't it thhis? But it's dis But I get it

170
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: because I speak grud and I understand it's this guy

00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:37,800

Speaker 1: Is the first line in the chapter? His first and

174
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm a lot lying to you. The first line in

175
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: the chapter was to this day, I have no idea

176
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: how he became head coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Come on, man,

177
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: like you went to Ben in Oakland. And I woke

178
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: up and they moved my room like it's mission impossible.

179
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: And they moved my room and I woke up and

180
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: suddenly I'm the head coach Tampa. I'm wearing Tampa gear.

181
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: I've got Tampa Pa John.

182
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: I woke up in us man, who's a Toornado?

183
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: I put the book down and I said, I'm not

184
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: going to finish it, and I never I said, that

185
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: is that is the why? Even right, I'm mad. I

186
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: was mad at the I was mad for the people

187
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: who bought me the book. They bought me a book

188
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to read I go, I'm sorry

189
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: he wrote a completely horrible book here. But oh no,

190
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: the big thing people want to know, Yeah, I have

191
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: no idea this day. How he became the head coach

192
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: Dampa Buccaneers. Oh, I don't know. And he said something like,

193
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: my agent called and the Oakland wanted meat, you know

194
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: in Tampa call they called.

195
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: Oh that that's what it did. Really, that's what happened.

196
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: You were an unwilling participant. I didn't want to know

197
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: about the money. Yeah, okay, but that's.

198
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: The thing with all the land kiff and stuff, the

199
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: trying to and victim is probably not the right word,

200
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: but it's it may be may be the most all

201
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: encompassing to this is like he was forced by all

202
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: these other powers to make this, that it was not

203
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: a conscious decision. When you've had reports of how much

204
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: he loved and then his little press conference where he

205
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: started talking about the awe of Death Valley and being

206
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: on the sideline and what it's all about, Like, no, no,

207
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: that's when the little kid you let and you know,

208
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: betrayed everything else you'd been saying about how difficult this

209
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: whole process was. And I'm not gonna say and categorically

210
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: dismiss it that maybe he didn't grapple with it for

211
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: a minute, but beyond that, come on, like it's it

212
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: seemed pretty clear all systems were go. And I would

213
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: love to have the all the administrators in a room here.

214
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: You're attached to polygraphs. Let's talk about the process, man,

215
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Let's really get down to the heart of it, because

216
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: you got two players and I guarant d amnte and

217
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: by tomorrow we've got many, many more that will come

218
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: forward going yep, yep.

219
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 5: They don't.

220
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: They don't even add any more clarity. That's it. I don't.

221
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a weird thing to say, but

222
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna tell you. Somebody tell me

223
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: agree or disagree for strictly football reasons, Okay, for football

224
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: stuff that goes in with what goes on on the

225
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: field off the field, not not counting drama that happens

226
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: that just so happens to me because you're a football

227
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking on the field football stuff. Has there been

228
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: a more unlikable head coach in all of football the

229
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: last twenty five years than Lane Kiffin, Brian Kelly More.

230
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: They love but notre Dame loved him until he left him.

231
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: He left right because he got to the like behind

232
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: the scenes saying football reasons. I'm saying for football reasons

233
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: because all Lane Kiffin has been football reasons. This is

234
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: it's not been it's not been any staged. Sure, you get,

235
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: you get, you get away from stuff on the field.

236
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: And look, Kelly had the horrible, uh tragedy with it

237
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: with the kid. You had that that that's that that

238
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: that was that was never appropriately done by the university

239
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: or him. That's beyond that drama. That's beyond football, right,

240
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: that that's human stuff, that's life styff. But I mean

241
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: for strictly football reasons because think about all the places

242
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: where he's been, where they couldn't wait to see him

243
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: go Raiders USC leaving Uce, I'm going, I'm going here, Tennessee,

244
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: at Mississippi, everywhere he's going. Him gone right, Glad he's gone.

245
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: Like I really, I don't think there's been a more

246
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: for strictly football reasons in all of football in the

247
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: last twenty five years than Lane Kiffin.

248
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get in trouble if I said Urban Meyer, would.

249
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: I again strictly football, No, but a lot of it. No, no, no,

250
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: but even for football, but even football wise, moving as

251
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: he did at one point it was yeah, fighting health

252
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: and then coming back because things got I mean yeah,

253
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: did they ever hate him in Ohio State? I don't

254
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: think they ever. Did they ever hate him in Florida

255
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: won national titles. I don't think he's ever hated there. Again,

256
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: things that have had things hated happening, But I mean,

257
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: the guy won, the guy won titles. There gotta be

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: in Michigan all the time, right, in Florida won two

259
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: titles now with Chris Lee, he won with Tim Tebow, right,

260
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like strictly it's the.

261
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: Second league reference.

262
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: And you think about everywhere Lane Kiffin has been, it's

263
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: been Yeah, glad he's gone, no matter whether he's been

264
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: successful or not successful.

265
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: Everywhere he's been everywhere, every sin.

266
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Did we mention that they moved up in the rankings

267
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: today a slot after he was let go, when the

268
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: fear that it was a going to be a precipitous fall,

269
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: just to kind of throw that out there, I mean,

270
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: I really, I don't know that there's been that there

271
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: there's been a more unlikable guy than Lane.

272
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: That is interesting. Yeah, I mean that's insane. I mean

273
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: it really is.

274
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: But that but because it's not just now, it's not

275
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: just what he did now, it's like, look at all

276
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: the other stuff, a lot of stop going back to

277
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the fact he was fighting with Al Davis so bad.

278
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: When he went out on the field to do interviews,

279
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: he was wearing red gear with red color and not

280
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: raiders color. Sure, like red pullovers and red hats. Yeah,

281
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: I can't, can't do it, can't do it.

282
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: I mean think about that now. The Tennessee exit was ugly. Yeah,

283
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: I know, it's I just think that's a lot of stops.

363
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta get loud, like those things Oklahoma City

364
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: were wearing, like my eyes were burning.

365
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm like, what color is that? It's not

00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: quite a war are just not quite red? Are they glowing?

367
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

368
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Pete feutac. He also could be

369
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: the new head coach at all, miss Pete. What's happening?

370
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 6: Man?

371
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: How are you all right?

372
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 6: I'm with you. I'm so I'm not. I'm an old guy,

373
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 6: I admit it. I literally cannot watch games like on

374
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: the Utah Jazz floor. Whatever they have with the with

375
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 6: the micro kovid can look like they're like cartoon characters

376
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 6: out there.

377
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: It's interesting, man, it's weird. Pete.

378
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: Wait till the end season tournament comes to college football.

379
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: They do that to all the fields. That's going to

380
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: be fantastic.

381
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: You know.

382
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 6: The blue turf are actually the red turf and Eastern

383
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: Washington unwatchable that one. That one's rough.

384
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: But my kid's gonna be out next next year, Pete.

385
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 6: The surf turfs, all right, I kind of I'm used

386
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 6: to that by now. That's a new that's an okay color,

387
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 6: So I'm good with that.

388
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: All right.

389
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: So here we are the latest developments with Lane Kiff.

390
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: We'll get into the playoff poll in a second couple

391
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: of players refuted his statement that he said, Hey, the

392
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: players wanted me to stay to coach the team. They

393
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: told me no. A couple of players say, yeah, that's

394
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: not how that went down in the meeting. Has there

395
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: been for strictly football reasons Pete a more unlikable head

396
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: coach in all of football in the last twenty five years?

397
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: Strictly football reasons more unlikely link everywhere he's been, they

398
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: they're so excited for him be laef like everywhere he's been.

399
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 6: You mean, like Brian Kelly doesn't count.

400
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean they love Brian Kelly and Notre Dame all

401
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: the way we got them to a national championship game.

402
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 6: They you know, oh they they do not They did

403
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 6: not like the whole game. But anyway, yeah, you're right. Look,

404
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 6: I get it. There's no easy way to do this.

405
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 6: I'm not a Wayne kiff an apologist. I honestly, I

406
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 6: know I should care about this. But whatever, So he's

407
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 6: going to go to LSU. All these SEC coaches are

408
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 6: going to be fired, you know. So it's like, okay,

409
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 6: you go go make generational wealth and then do something else.

410
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 6: But okay, you know it's when I here's the other question,

411
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 6: I'll ask you forget likability. Has there ever been this

412
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 6: much hubbub over a coach who's never really won anything

413
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 6: other than a Conference USA championship?

414
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: It's fair? Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, you know.

415
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's a name, it's a guy

416
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: that we've known for what twenty some odd years, So

417
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: job off to job hop, hanging out with Saban like

418
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: all of those things.

419
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, at the points.

420
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 6: Valid, I think it's I think it's been great. I mean,

421
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 6: other than the Raiders gig, I think he's always been good.

422
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 6: He was good at USC and they had the Reggie

423
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 6: Bush problem, which wasn't his fault. Uh, he would hammered them.

424
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 6: He had one good year at Tennessee before he left

425
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 6: for a better job at USC. He was great at

426
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: Florida Atlantic, and he's been the best coach in the

427
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 6: history of all of this football. So he is good,

428
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 6: and that's just kind of a big question. We've never

429
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 6: seen him at a job where he could just fully

430
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 6: go you know us Again, USC should have been it,

431
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 6: but it wasn't because of all those restrictions and the

432
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 6: penalty that they got hit with a Tennessee he was

433
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 6: only there for a year. So all right, let's see

434
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 6: what he can do with everything at his disposal, because

435
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 6: this is the only thing I could come up with.

436
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: And I don't mean to speak ill of the Seas,

437
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 6: but like it's maybe Mike Leach is the only coach

438
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 6: who there's a lot of stuff about, oh he's gonna

439
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 6: hear it. We never really won, but for Kiffin for this, okay,

440
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 6: you know, because remember when Saban took over the Bama job,

441
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 6: he had the LSU thing happened for him, you know,

442
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 6: so sometimes these things are warranted. But in this case, okay,

443
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 6: let's see.

444
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the curiosity, you know, with with his

445
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: statements and those those last few days and the number

446
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: of people standing for him to stick to stay on

447
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: for another month. I'm like, as LSU, do they just

448
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: want to issue a statement to just say no, this

449
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't work for us.

450
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it just blows it all up right there.

451
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 6: Right. Well, my biggest problem is, you know, like, well

452
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 6: I'm going to go pray on it, like, okay, come on, now,

453
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 6: it's God's fault if he's not staying around, you know,

454
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: like if God tells him, you know, go tick the

455
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 6: Yukon job. I don't think that's quite happening in his prayer,

456
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: you know. So it's just so disingenuous. It's like you

457
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 6: knew he was taking this gig. Everyone knew it. It

458
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 6: was just a question of how to land the plane.

459
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 6: And I get it, you know, he probably wants it's

460
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 6: by Ferris to the players that if he would be

461
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 6: coaching in you know, sort of this thing. But I

462
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: also get you'll miss thing of Okay, National Signing Day,

463
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 6: for whatever it's worth, is tomorrow and the whole Okay,

464
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 6: we want a Michigan man coaching Michigan sort of way.

465
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 6: Let's see what Pete Golding can do.

466
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, Now let's get to the college football

467
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: playoff poll. It's out. I saw you on fire today.

468
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: You're talking about jerry mandering with the polls, and hey,

469
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: look I agree, Alabama ahead of Notre Dame. They're telling

470
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: you were getting five SEC teams into the College Football Playoff,

471
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, I can't fault a great strategy.

472
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: Whatever.

473
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: As the SEC did the College Football Playoff, pole listened,

474
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: They're going to do it well.

475
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 6: They did it by hooks, like having ESPN have a

476
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 6: direct tie to them. Financially. But that's but look, it

477
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 6: looks bad. But first of all, and I've said this before,

478
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 6: the College Football Playoff CAMM be legitimately, really really sincerely

479
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: watched the best tournament there. There are no real alternative motives.

480
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: I mean, last year, you know the whole oh they

481
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 6: are so in the back of the SEC. Well then

482
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 6: last year they should have put in Alabama over SMU,

483
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 6: which was actually been the right thing, and they didn't

484
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 6: do it. That SMU is a ratings you know, death

485
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 6: blow in Alabama's Alabama and basic they didn't do it.

486
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 6: So I do get it. The problem with it is

487
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 6: why now? I mean because look, there's no rationale for it.

488
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 6: Because if you thought Notre Dame was better or should

489
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 6: have been ranked higher last week, well what changed? I

490
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 6: guess that. Okay, well, Alabama being a Vanderbilt team that's

491
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 6: blow out Tennessee. But whatever, Alabam tesse. How about Alabama

492
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 6: got clocked by the Florida stay team that just got

493
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 6: pants by Florida, a bad Florida Like you could do

494
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 6: this all the way around. There's nothing there other than

495
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 6: to buffer the possibility that uh oh, if BYU were

496
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: to upset Texas tech, that means the team that goes

497
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 6: to the SEC championship is out. So it just seemed

498
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 6: like a little it's a little too convenient of the

499
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: timing of this where everyone's you know who's saying, oh,

500
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 6: there's a bias here. Again. I don't think that's there

501
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 6: in terms of bias, but it sure does look bad

502
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 6: when you're kind of making sure that Okay, well, if

503
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 6: the College Football Playoff Committee keeps the plan from last year,

504
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 6: and this is the thing that your sech is not under,

505
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 6: your SEC is being really cagy about. And he will

506
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 6: not answer this question. I got on a call. I

507
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 6: didn't get answer my question or whatever my question is

508
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 6: going to be. This, are you saying that you are

509
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 6: not keeping the same rules from last year when you

510
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 6: said conference championship losers do not get punished and do

511
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 6: not drop. Because if that's the case, then nor name's safe,

512
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 6: nor name is fine. But he wouldn't say that. He

513
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 6: would just say, you know, well, you know, idle teams

514
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: will move. Well, yeah, if Aladema wins and some of

515
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 6: the teams that topple drop down a little.

516
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the curiosity.

517
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: Also, now that we've got the coaches slap fighting over

518
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: style points again Pete. So, I mean I think that's

519
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: got a fun little element that's cropped back up a

520
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: little bit.

521
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 6: I mean, like, who's looks better than Notre Dame. I mean,

522
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 6: we can I know the schedule has been great since,

523
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 6: but again, they lost their first two games of the year.

524
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 6: You know, by you know, a play. You know you're

525
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 6: don't have a fumble snap or a miracle fourth down play.

526
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 6: I know this is all works. You know, everyone loses.

527
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: You know, do you lose, you lose, But still it's

528
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 6: it's something they got clocked by either one of the

529
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 6: by Miami or Texas. A and m those are as

530
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 6: close as it possibly gets against two elite teams. And

531
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 6: you know, I you know, Ralph LUSA thep just tweeted

532
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 6: out I'm with them, Like, if you're really doing this,

533
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 6: you know, why is he go home in this thing?

534
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 6: You know, why are you having a fifth SDC team

535
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 6: as opposed to what you have to do? Because Alabama's

536
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 6: got to be behind him at this point. But how

537
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 6: do you do that and say, okay, you or fifth

538
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 6: the SEC you should be ahead of Miami and Notre

539
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 6: Dame when objectively, if you watch these two teams, they

540
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 6: are two of the ten best teams in the country,

541
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 6: and I think either one of them at this point,

542
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 6: including Texas A and M with Notre Dame, I think

543
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 6: either one of these teams beats everybody in the SEC.

544
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 6: So we'll see, Pete.

545
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: When when you see the way the playoff is right now,

546
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: do you see there being any way that next year

547
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: we're not at sixteen teams.

548
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 6: It's tough. I mean, my kind of beef is the

549
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 6: same thing with the whole thing with a bubble of

550
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 6: the NCAA tournament, you're if you're on a bubble, you

551
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 6: don't deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. If we're

552
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 6: talking about you, as you know, the team that's on

553
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 6: the outs, well, something went wrong that didn't get you.

554
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 6: You didn't press enough to get in there. So you know,

555
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 6: look by you pucks on your sick son. You know

556
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 6: there's no whining. If you've been the Big twelve championship,

557
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 6: you're in. You know, so they get their shot to

558
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 6: get in this thing. You know, I get it if

559
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 6: you're Notre Dame. But you know, the schedule wasn't that

560
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 6: great after losing their two big game, so you know,

561
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 6: I do think that Tatina could actually win the national championship.

562
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: I get it.

563
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 6: I'll buy into that. And you know, so there's arguments

564
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 6: all the way around, but let's just keep winning, win

565
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 6: your conference championship and get in. If you don't win

566
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 6: your conference championship, you really don't have a legitimate beef

567
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 6: to get in this thing. And obviously that's the problem

568
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 6: for Notre Dame.

569
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: All right.

570
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: Now speak of the teams getting in. To bring it

571
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: back to miss Ole Miss for a second. Here they

572
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 1: are Obviously they didn't get the Jordan Travis. Hey, you're

573
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: bumped out of the playoff because you're head coach.

574
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: Left, what do you.

575
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: See for the old Miss team with Lane Kiff and gone? Now,

576
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: how do things go for them on the field through

577
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: the rest of this into the playoffs?

578
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 6: I never believed them with Leeane Kiff. And the problem

579
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 6: is this style of play is cute and fun, and

580
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 6: if you can't hit the curve ball when they're going

581
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 6: fifty miles an hour, you're in trouble. But man, he

582
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 6: wasted that defense. You know, I know it rose up

583
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 6: against Oklahoma, but Oklahoma's offense has been kind of met.

584
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 6: But when you're going that fast against the elite team

585
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 6: who can run and pound the ball, then that time

586
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 6: of possession battle becomes a problem. So you know they're

587
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 6: gonna be you know, they're gonna be everyone's darling. Everyone's

588
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 6: gonna be rooting for him now. And you know, maybe,

589
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 6: you know, if they do have the attack to do

590
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 6: the offense to you the fire and it would be

591
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 6: a great story if they they went out there, and

592
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 6: you know, you know, Lane Kiffy, you know, if you

593
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 6: were still here, that'd be great. But Lane Kiffin's I

594
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 6: do actually believe he did want to coach in this

595
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 6: and all this kind of went now where you know,

596
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 6: you're Necker hanging around here. We're done with you, so

597
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 6: all right, it's just kind of an ugly, weird situation

598
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: all the way around.

599
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's say, the uncomfortable thing.

600
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: But you know the old if you're gone, you stay

601
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: gone unless you be gone on the old bold fiction mine.

602
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: But we saw a bunch of coaches get new contracts

603
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: and extensions and raises during this process.

604
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: A bunch of new hires Pat.

605
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald named and shows up in Michigan State went want

606
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: to know today wise Penn State still floundering, they lose

607
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: Sataki Chesney gonna go.

608
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: To you c l A. And who's actually gonna end

609
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: up taking this job?

610
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 6: Beat? I it's got to be someone who's still coaching

611
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 6: in the playoffs world, right, I mean like it's got

612
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 6: to be if they don't have someone yet, I don't

613
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 6: know if honestly, and it's gonna not make the fan

614
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 6: the fan base happy, but maybe Manny Diaz. You know,

615
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 6: look what he's done with Duke. I know they think

616
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 6: kind of this year, but Duke, and he was.

617
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: The ac there, he was, he was he was Assistant

618
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year twice. I think, right, yeah, yeah.

619
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 6: He's actually been great with Duke in the last two years.

620
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 6: He's been great with Duke players. And maybe there's that

621
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 6: thought that, all right, well he's ready to make that

622
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: next step up. And who knows, if he, you know,

623
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 6: wins this or not, you know, and wins the a

624
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 6: SEC Championship, he might be in the College Football Playoff, which,

625
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 6: oh would that be hilariously fun. If If if Duke

626
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 6: wins the a SEC Championship and.

627
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: Ain't, there's there's no way they take them, Pete, There's

628
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: no way that could happen is that?

629
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 6: And then what do you and then what do you

630
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 6: do if let's say du Quin's the ACC championship and

631
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 6: the playoff committee is not doing the we're not punishing

632
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 6: conference championship losers thing, and so okay, we're not punishing

633
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 6: championship losers. So BYU dropped, which means Miami moves up.

634
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 6: And then you've got one fight. You're saying, Okay, we're

635
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 6: gonna put Miami eleventh and Notre Dame tenth. I don't

636
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 6: think so if you're talking about then you get to

637
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 6: the head to head, so you don't have an a

638
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 6: SEC champion in, but you have Miami in. Good luck

639
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 6: with selling that one. So this could get really messy

640
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 6: fun in a hurry.

649
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: You know the funny thing.

650
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: Look, Manny Diaz is a great defensive coach. Yeah, Duke

651
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: is not great, but they're still in the ACC Championship

652
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: and maybe they pull off with there's no way they

653
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: take them. But yeah, I can easily see Penn State

654
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: saying all right, we've been told no by a lot

655
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: of guys. Let's go back to someone who was here,

656
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: who knows the situation. Again, he was a finalist. I

657
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: think he was Defensive Coach of the Year or Assistant Coach.

658
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 3: Of the Year once.

659
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: He was nominated for twice, one of the five finalists

660
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: while at Penn States. So yeah, I gotta think I

661
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: would get my odds in on him pretty quick because

662
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: I think that might depending on how things go Saturday.

663
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: I got my odds as if yesterday he was ten

664
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: to one.

665
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,520

00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes six seven.

775
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: I don't think you're peal. It's that town even six seven.

776
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

777
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: So you want to know who the most desperate team

778
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL is? You tell by a big personnel

779
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: move they made. Yes, No, No, we're not desperate. We

780
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: just think the most desperate. I mean that's a long

781
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: term desperation. There's difference, Yeah, the Raiders. I mean, yeah,

782
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: there's there's teams it is. Yeah, that is if you

783
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: were if you were living under the dome like that

784
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: Stephen King TV show and book where it did the

785
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: entire town is all desperation. Oh, you actually did write

786
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: a book with the title with the town was desperation.

787
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: Figure out the most desperate team in the NFL. You

788
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: could tell because they went out and signed Adam Feeling today,

789
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers steel and who asked for his release

790
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: so we could go and potentially play somewhere else. The

791
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: Steelers went out and got Adam feeling.

792
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: Well, it was interesting.

793
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: Is his wife put out a video where it was

794
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: wasn't even talking about winning, It was just being Himmel

795
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: to play.

796
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, not winning. I just want to be able to play.

797
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: I wish you would have just named McCarthy and Brosemer

798
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: while she was at it, because even if he's on

799
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: the field, they're not getting into him. I want to say, like,

800
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: isn't this like the third team feelings asked for his

801
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: release from me because he's not catching the foot. That's

802
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: all right, right, like Carolina and now Max to Minnesota.

803
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: But this is how he's not feeling Minnesota. This is

804
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: how desperate the Steelers are that I'm sure, because what

805
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: is this move? How do we make Aaron Rodgers any

806
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: good again? Well, we gotta go get We can't. We

807
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: can't bring somebody in that is not a veteran, that's

808
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: not someone who can pick up the offense fast. It's

809
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: not someone that Aaron can give a look to and

810
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: he understands to sit down, down low or get over

811
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah, let's go get Adam feeling. We're so

812
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: desperate for anything with this offense.

813
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 3: We'll go get a.

814
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: Guy who was good five years ago, because that's the

815
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: Steelers are great. They're great at getting guys who are

816
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: good five years ago. That is a big Steeler strength. Man, Hey,

817
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: were you good in twenty twenty, Well, yeah, come on in.

818
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring you in here and give you a job.

819
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: We're not gonna pay you a lot of money, but

820
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring you here and give you a chance

821
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: because you were good five years ago. Yeah, they don't

822
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: they don't have any money left. Remember we chronicled it

823
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. You got to listen to the

824
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: whole thing, different conversation. But now we extend it to

825
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: the Adam Thielen addition. You go back in twenty twenty three,

826
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: he had one hundred receptions, right, one hundred and three

827
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: catches twenty twenty four, forty eight for this year for

828
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings.

829
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: He's got eight. And now you go to Pittsburgh and

830
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: it goes back to the.

831
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: Conversation we were having of the Daniel Stern look alike

832
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the home alone look with the bandage and

833
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: black eyes and everything that Aaron Rodgers calling out John

834
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: new Smith, I'm sure, he's a professional and it's killing

835
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: him and eating him up and all that stuff talking

836
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: about guys running the wrong routes, and they have had

837
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: an issue with the younger receivers. They also have an

838
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: issue with the fact that Rogers can't, or at least

839
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: to this point through thirteen weeks, has been unwilling to

840
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: really work the ball down. The average intended air yards

841
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: per attempt is five point nine, tied with Dylan Gabriel.

842
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: Now it's like five point eight four, five point eight five.

843
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: So I was rounding up to be nice. That's nice

844
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: to you that that is deserally nice. It's good because

845
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: if anybody needs the rounding up, it's Aaron. Yeah, what

846
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about is the average depth isn't there, and

847
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: that's where Feeling operates always did, had the opportunity to

848
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: go downfield. But he's one of those guys move those

849
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: chains and right now for the Steelers they need a

850
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit more of that keep the defense off the field.

851
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: But for Aaron Rodgers, what's funny is they're still the

852
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: upper half in terms of scoring for the year. As

853
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: bad and as as discombobulated as it's been all season.

854
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's it's so. The Steelers are so

855
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: desperate that this is where they are. We're gonna go

856
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: get a guy and bring him in and give him

857
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: a decent role on the team. Right, you know you're

858
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: not gonna he he wanted to be let go where

859
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: he could go, get a bigger role somewhere and catch footballs.

860
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: He's not signing with the Steelers unless they said, hey man,

861
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: we need something. Okay, all the moves we made, nothing

862
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: is working. Our team is terrible. Everybody's finding out the

863
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Emperor has no clothes. This is so, and it's so

864
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: we got to do something to get Aaron Rodgers going,

865
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: which I'm telling you two more weeks and it's gonna

866
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: be Will Hocketchew, Roman Wilson, Scottie Miller, Calvin Auston third,

867
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: my guy Scaronic from Northwestern the artist formerly known as

868
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and now Adam Thielen. Yeah, I get ready

869
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,520
