1
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in a separate universe. Number one,

2
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: got the President on the show tonight. Number two, my

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: instincts are really to talk about Team USA over Canada,

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: per usual in hockey, and yet we got wall to

5
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: wall college football. We're jam packed. We're high top of Chile,

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on this Sunday night, February twenty second,

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. Yeah, I

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: did say we have the President on the show tonight.

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: We will lead the show with him just a couple

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: of minutes from now. But that's not the most controversial

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: part of the show. See, everyone's worried that that's going

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: to take the show off the rails. No, that'll be fine.

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: I feel firmly in control of that. What concerns me

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: is this other piece of paper in front of me

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: that says we are updating our head coaching rankings tonight.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's what I'll apologize and advance for. We got

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: big sec questions on the show tonight. We got a

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: lot about scheduling that I wanted to get to you

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but I had no voice on Tuesday, so

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: we had to postpone. Only the second time we postponed

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: a show. The first was the unfortunate food poisoning incident

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville, a city that I still haven't been back

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: to since then. So yeah, the cities they are watching

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: us in tonight, Charlotte, North Carolina, Sweetwater, Texas, Everett, Washington, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. It's good to be back. We're loaded.

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Please subscribe to the channel if you have not already,

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: because it's free. It doesn't sign you up for anything.

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: It's year round college football and we love you. What

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: more could you need? Okay, a kind of a weird

30
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: situation here. You know, we got the Pate State Speaker

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: series that's going to crank up and we'll be a

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: country all over the country, coast coast, talking to head coaches.

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: But I did tell you that we wanted to mix

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: in maybe some non head coaches, maybe some personalities this spring.

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: And the White House reaches out. It says, what about

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: the president? You know? Does that qualify? And I said,

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: let me think, yeah, yeah it does. Does it make

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: sense for the show, well, you know, if we could

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: fit it in certain parameters, yes it does. And everything

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: was agreed upon and a neutral site was agreed upon.

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: He didn't come here, We didn't go there. We met

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: neutral site. And you know, there's a lot of stuff

43
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: floating around college football right now. There's a lot of

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: stuff floating around about this because we recorded it Thursday,

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: And just to give you little heads up, We're going

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: to play the interview and then I'm going to address

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things afterwards, and I'm going to tell

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you how this came together, and I'm going to give

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: you my viewpoint on it. But think about it is,

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: no one's seen this yet, and there are already a

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: lot of takes on it. For instance, how could we

52
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: let the show become political. Well, the answer to that is,

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: the show's not becoming political because there's nothing in this

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: that's really political, believe it or not. So without further ado,

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: and I'll address this a lot on the back end,

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: here's our sitting down the other day with President Donald Trump.

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: I live in the world of college football. You're at

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: college football games all the time. We just saw you

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: down in Miami last month at the National Championship Game.

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: So you love the game. You always loved football always.

61
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: I've always loved college football. So on the field, love

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: what I see then you get off the field, and

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: then you just got a whole bunch of mess. People

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: talk about right now with the structure of the game

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: and what rules can you make, what rules can you enforce?

66
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: I know how I feel, I know how fancy. How

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: do you feel when you see that from your vantage point?

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's too bad. I hate to see it.

69
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: And I hate to see a lot of things in football,

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: and a lot of things and a lot of other events.

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: When I look at the kickoff, I hate to see

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: this new kickoff.

73
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: Rule they have.

74
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: It s takes the glamour, the glory that it takes

75
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: everything out of the game. When I watch your kickoff,

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: you know that's a big event. That's the opening of

77
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: a game, and you know important, it's an important thing.

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: And then they do this. I'm not even sure what

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: does anybody understand what they're even doing. They kick it

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: short of the you have to kick at Georgian at

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: the end zone. And somebody said they want to see

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: more running backs. Actually they want to see much less

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: run backs. I guess that's why they're doing it. But

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: I think it's very bad for the NFL, and I

85
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: hope college football doesn't do that.

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: So You're in a lot of college football games. You

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: show up all the time. What's the process of that.

88
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: When you're looking on the landscape and you say, we

89
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: got a big one coming up, may want to go

90
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: to that one? How do you decide where you go?

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: I look around and I'll say, you like South Carolina's

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: good and Georgie is good.

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: I like Georgie. I like this Georgia team. I like

94
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: your quarterback, by the way, I like Gunner. He's going

95
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: to be a great quarterback.

96
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: He's already a great quarterback, but he's only going to

97
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: get better. He's asking how I judge and how I

98
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: judge players, and which games do I want to go to?

99
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: I want to go to any game that guy because

100
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: he's been a big Trump fan, So I'm gonna be

101
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: watching him very.

102
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: Closely this year. You're gonna have a big year.

103
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: So I like certain people, players and teams. Alabama, it's

104
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: just with coach Saban together, he's fantastic.

105
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: Coach Uh Coach Myers.

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: We have a lot of a lot of good have

107
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: a lot of good friends in college football.

108
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned the the golfing outing you had with coach

109
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: sab and Coach Meyer. Believe Ron Santis was there the

110
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: other day. What's the conversation, like, specifically, when you're around

111
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: big college figures, whether it's a commissioner, a former head coach,

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: what's the conversation.

113
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: Right, they talk to me about the politics really more

114
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 3: so than football. They liked politics. They're all obviously very

115
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: highly competitive people. But I would say for the most

116
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: part we're talking politics. They want to know what's happening

117
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: with the Iran what's happening.

118
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: How do you do that? With Venezuela? It was pretty good,

119
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: you know, that was.

120
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: Very, very successful, to put it mildly, But they always

121
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: want to seem to cause they play with a.

122
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: Lot of athletes, a lot of coaches. You know, I

123
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 2: play golf.

124
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: I'm a good golfer, and some of them are good.

125
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: Some of them aren't very good. But doesn't matter one

126
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: thing to golf. It doesn't really matter. That's why they

127
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: have handicaps. But they always want to talk about politics.

128
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: You were down at the National Championship game. Ye, So,

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: Indiana was this incredible story throughout the entirety of last years.

130
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: And then National Championship winner and then the assistant coaches

131
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: start winning all these awards and a lot of praise

132
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: on Kurt Signetti, as there should be, and he put

133
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: together incredible roster. You put together an incredible staff, right

134
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: and afterwards everyone wants to ask, what's the secret? How

135
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: did he pull it off? You're a guy, You've hired

136
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: thousands of people in the business world, You've vetted people

137
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: for cabinet positions, but you've sat across from him, like

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: we're doing right now. What do you look for in

139
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: someone to know that's the characteristic I want. That's a

140
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: guy or that's a girl I want on my team.

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: Well, I have it a little bit now and myself,

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: I have a great staff. I have really good people

143
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: working for me. I would say first term, I had

144
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: never done it before I won.

145
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: You know, I came out of business.

146
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: I was to Washington seventeen times in my entire life.

147
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: I never stayed over and I had some very good people,

148
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: but as some people that I wouldn't have chosen had

149
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: I had a little more experience. Once I got all

150
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: that experience, now we have an unbelievable cabinet.

151
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: And you know, experience really helps you.

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: See people on the fire when you go in there

153
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: and you don't have that feel not good but there's

154
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: a great deal of experience. I think there's also an instinct.

155
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: I've had a good instinct for people. I think I've

156
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: had a good instinct for athletes for athletes, but Herschel's

157
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: a special guy. I think Herschel did really well. He

158
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: tried really hard with his run, his Senate run, and

159
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: I think he did really well. He got some I

160
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: think he got some unfair treatment. Frankly, but I would

161
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: say Herschel maybe he was the greatest player ever in

162
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: college football. You know, you could make a case he

163
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: was the greatest running back for college football.

164
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: He was legendary here and he actually.

165
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: Had a very good A lot of people don't realize

166
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: what a good career he had in the NFL.

167
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: Had a very good career in the NFL too.

168
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned experience. I mean, not many people get to

169
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: be the president of the United States. Yeah, not many people,

170
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: even further down the line, get to do it twice,

171
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: and so you kind of got to experience. Yeah, and

172
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: then reasons that there's a second time. What are the

173
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: things when people ask you, hey, would you learn the

174
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: first time that you applied the second time? What are

175
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the go tos for you?

176
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: Well, it's about people. You know, you have to get

177
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: the right people.

178
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: If you don't get the right people, you can be

179
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: really good, but it's never going to be the same.

180
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: It's never going to be fantastic the way they run it.

181
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: You know, you can see all the good people they

182
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: have worked there, they've been here a long time.

183
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: You have to get look at the people we have,

184
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: and they're so they're outstanding their stars.

185
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: And I learned that in the first term.

186
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: And again I had a lot of great people, but

187
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: I had some that I wouldn't have used.

188
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: Again, it's been amazing.

189
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: You mentioned the word instinct a second ago.

190
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

191
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: I love talking to coaches about that because oftentimes you're

192
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: in a room and you got important decisions to make

193
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: every day football wise or run in the country. And

194
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: there are a lot of times probably where you've got

195
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: expert voices, nearly consensus telling you one thing. Your instinct

196
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: may say another thing. Yeah, how do you know how

197
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: to balance that when.

198
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: You that's what instincts is all about.

199
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: You never know, you just go with your gut and

200
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 3: some people can do that, some people don't do it.

201
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: You know.

202
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: You look, you have to put a lot of things

203
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: into the equation, and that equals what you could call instinct.

204
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, instinctually I said I should run,

205
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: and then I said I should run again.

206
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: And we're having a lot of fun. We're doing a

207
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: good job.

208
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: A lot of times. It's great when you just got

209
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: one popular decision or unpopular, or one right and wrong.

210
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Oftentimes in your world you got those level ten decisions

211
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: where it's both of them are going to be bad.

212
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: We're good.

213
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you have good like, for instance, candidates,

214
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: you're choosing candidates.

215
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes I have three or four people that I really like.

216
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: It's very hard to do, and they've supported me. Sometimes

217
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: I have to take a pass because it's just as too.

218
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: It's heart wrenching when you you know somebody's running and

219
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 3: you're supporting somebody, Let's say, out of four candidates, and

220
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: they're all one hundred percent like Trump candidates.

221
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: Now, I have this a lot where I like them

222
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: all the same. I mean I literally like it.

223
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: They're all really great and you have to make a choice,

224
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: and it's very it's a very tough thing to.

225
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: Do when you are elected president. Everybody's got like a

226
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: vision of how that would be. Most of the time,

227
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: it's just a dream for someone. I heard you. I

228
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: think it was on Joe Rogan's show. You talked about

229
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: walking in there and just walking in the Lincoln bedroom

230
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: and saying, this is a Lincoln bedroom. It's unbelievable.

231
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's uh. They talk about having that feeling.

232
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: I walked in and I won, and you know, you're

233
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: so busy and you realize you won, and you maybe

234
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: you take it a little bit for granted.

235
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: Then you win the second time, and then you win.

236
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: A third time, to be honest, but I stood the

237
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: first time and I was standing upstairs in the beautiful

238
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 3: white house.

239
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: There's no building like it. There's no building in terms

240
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: of the field.

241
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: And I'm standing right outside with uh a first lady

242
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: who's now a movie star because she is since you

243
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: got a very successful movie. But I'm standing outside of

244
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: the Lincoln bedroom and I'm looking and so historic.

245
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's a Lincoln. It's a big.

246
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: Deal, and it's a little bit of a da jo boob,

247
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: but it's uh, it's a feeling of like, uh, have

248
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: I been here before?

249
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: What's going on?

250
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: And and it really, uh, it really is something.

251
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: It really is something. When I did it the second

252
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: time and then the third time. Uh.

253
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: And that is DejaVu, because I've been there, I've seen it,

254
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: and uh, here I am again. But when you stand

255
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: in the White House and you see all of the

256
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 3: great history from uh, from Lincoln, you could go to

257
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: what even if you don't like FDR. You know FDR

258
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: was a four term president, and you see all of

259
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: the e everybody leaves something, there's always a mark.

260
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

261
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: There's such great history.

262
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: And if you love the country, you know, you love

263
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: the history, the whole history, the Democrat and the Republican history.

264
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 3: But the White House is a special place when you're

265
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: over there. But I stood out there that first night,

266
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: the very first night and uh twenty sixteen, and I'm

267
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: looking I'm standing right out the door Lincoln. I'm looking

268
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: into the Lincoln bedroom saying, that's pretty that's pretty wild.

269
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: You you frequently have to be face to face with

270
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: people who have maybe said not such nice things about

271
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: you in the past, maybe you've said things their way

272
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: in the past, and there's this separation. It's always fascinated

273
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: me because normal people aren't really capable of the separation

274
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: of business and personal right. And I watch you do

275
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: it all the time. And I mean, is that instinctive?

276
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: Is that something you need to have, that's something you

277
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: can learn because it's not normal.

278
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: Well when I when I do that, I mean you're

279
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: talking about, like some people that you don't like and

280
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: you're dealing with them. But I'm not so good at that.

281
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: I usually go after I shouldn't. I shouldn't go after them,

282
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 3: but I do. I tend to probably do it. I

283
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: don't know if that's good or bad. Nobody's ever going

284
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: to figure that one out. But no, I have a

285
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 3: lot of people I don't like, and I have a

286
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: lot of people I like a lot.

287
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm I'm very loyal. I'm loyal to

288
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: the people that I like, and we have a lot

289
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: of good people.

290
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: I have a lot of people that I'm not a

291
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: fan of necessarily, but I think they're right on a

292
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: lot of issues. I go with them all the time.

293
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: I go with those issues all the time. I want

294
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 3: to just do what's right for the country.

295
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: Mister President.

296
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,880

Speaker 3: Here.

300
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: He's got a hell of a show, is that right?

301
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: What about it's got a good show.

302
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,400

Speaker 3: has a good interview, Thank.

304
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: You, a lot of commotion for that. Yep, appreciate the

305
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: President joining us film that Thursday. I haven't really spoken

306
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: about this publicly at all, aside from telling people that

307
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: it was coming. So I'm going to tell you how

308
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: this came together. But the first thing I wanted to

309
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: touch on is you probably noticed, was there weren't really

310
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: many weighty college football matters discussed there all right, for

311
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: two reasons. The first of which was, originally we were

312
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: going to slot that thing for between thirty and forty minutes,

313
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: at which point, if it went through that way, I

314
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: was probably going to go long form and really dive

315
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: on things like nil or congressional intervention, things of that nature.

316
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: For two reasons kind of didn't go that way. The

317
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: first was schedule changed really really late, so we got

318
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: compressed on time really really late. I had a pretty

319
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: good feel probably ten to fifteen minutes, and I thought,

320
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: if about five or six different themes that I'd love

321
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: to hit here, we're probably not going to be able

322
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: to dive deep on that. But the second thing was

323
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: I kind of got the feel that there are some

324
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: big things on the horizon. If you're talking about the

325
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: congressional side, or if you're someone out there who is

326
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: kind of hoping, or maybe you don't hope, but maybe

327
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: you're just waiting for that kind of intervention in college athletics.

328
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: I remain skeptical that it can happen. But if it's

329
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: going to happen, you know, that's kind of on the horizon.

330
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: And I think at the executive level, I got the

331
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: sense that they kind of want to get everyone in

332
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: the room, like they kind of want to hear all

333
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: of the opinions normally that we're hearing anonymously from Ross

334
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Dellinger or Pete Nakosh reporting. Get all those folks in

335
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: a room, and then we'll see what we can do,

336
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and then we'll see if we can make decisions. And

337
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: so for for a couple of reasons, I didn't get

338
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: the sense that the president was really gonna look to

339
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: dive deep on that stuff. So that's why I called

340
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: that audible. There was really two reasons there. So one

341
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: of the things as soon as we announced that we

342
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: were going to have him on the show that we

343
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: heard a lot that I heard a lot was I

344
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: thought you said that you were never going to make

345
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: the show political. Like I thought you said you were

346
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: never going to take the show down a political route.

347
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: You're right, I have slash do say that. I say

348
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: that right now, we're never gonna make the show political

349
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: or take it down a political route.

350
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: Now.

351
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I understand we just featured the President of the United

352
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: States on the show, But did you listen to the contents?

353
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Up until right now? No one had listened to it

354
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: because we hadn't released it, So unless someone on the

355
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: staff leak didn't, no one had seen the contents of it.

356
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm not an idiot, would be my first point to make.

357
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: So a lot of the claims out there, or a

358
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of the concerns fake though they may have been

359
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: that people claim they had. Was, Man, this is going

360
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: to get hijacked. You can't have the president on this

361
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: show and not have it derailed and go political. And

362
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: I just looked at that. I laughed, because we had

363
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: already recorded it, so I knew what it contained and

364
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: what it didn't contain. But I mean, you've just got

365
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: to think I'm a total idiot if I'm gonna allow

366
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: that to happen. So I was very comfortable where we

367
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: were going to go. I was very comfortable talking to

368
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: the President beforehand about where I'd love to go. Ideally,

369
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: I was very comfortable talking back and forth with the

370
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: White House about what the show is, what it's about,

371
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: and when the opportunity presented itself, what I would and

372
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be okay with. There was no pushback on that.

373
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Very agreeable and so that was never a concern for me.

374
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: I know it was that elsewhere. This is not some

375
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: new norm for the show. This was maybe a once

376
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: in a lifetime opportunity, but at the very least a

377
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: once in a several several long whiles type opportunity, and

378
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: we took it. Now, I'll tell you why we took it.

379
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: It's really simple. It's the President of the United States

380
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: requesting the I'm on a college football show that didn't

381
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: exist five and a half years ago. That's why we

382
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: did it. So I personally looked at it and made

383
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: the decision in about five minutes when the opportunity was

384
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: presented to us, and that was the beginning and the

385
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: end for me and I understand there's been a lot

386
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: of talk out there about what I should or shouldn't

387
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: have done. It's our show. We choose to run it

388
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: this way. And I'll tell you this. Anybody who suggested seriously, now,

389
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: anyone who seriously suggested that if you were in the

390
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: position I'm in, you would have turned this down. I

391
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: either think you're lying, most likely you're lying, or number two,

392
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: we're just not even in the same galaxy of thinking.

393
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: So that was never a thought on my mind. This

394
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: could have been President Obama, this could have been President whoever,

395
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: and it's an auto yes for me if they're asking

396
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: to come on this show, especially if you think about

397
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: the climate right now of college athletics. I don't know

398
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: in recent memory if if it's ever been more relevant

399
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: to try and hear the opinions of maybe top lawmakers

400
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: or the president. Now. I don't really see us bringing

401
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: lawmakers on the show because at some point it just

402
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: gets boring and it gets monotonous. But if the President

403
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: of the United States is going to say I'll make

404
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: myself available, hey, I go into it and I'm thinking

405
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: to myself, maybe something profound gets said. You know, it's

406
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: not like you're delivered a script. It's not like it's

407
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: a Netflix series and you can kind of read the spoilers,

408
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: and so you already know what's going to be said.

409
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: And at that point, all right, let's green light this

410
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: or red light this. No, you take the opportunity, and

411
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: you have the leader of the free world, you have

412
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: the Commander in Chief on the show, and he says

413
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: what he says, and the experience is what it is,

414
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: and it was a delightful experience, by the way, but

415
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: there was nothing groundbreaking there from the perspective of how

416
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: Nil may change or the portal may change, what Congress

417
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: can he cannot do. But here's the other thing. You

418
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: don't really know where that could lead. But it's a

419
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime opportunity. And our goal for this

420
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: show has been to make it the college football show,

421
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: and we've been able to do that in many ways.

422
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: But the other thing is, from just a pure authoritary standpoint,

423
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I love for people to look at us and know

424
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: that if it's going to happen in that world, it's

425
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: either going to happen here, or this show is going

426
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: to have a lot to say about it or a

427
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: lot to do with it. And anyone who's ridden with

428
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: us from day one understands that's been a long kind

429
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: of steady climb to get where we are. But I

430
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: understand there's a lot of people watching the show right

431
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: now who may have never seen it before. You may

432
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: have never seen this, you may not even know who

433
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: I am. That's okay, I'm happy you're here. We do

434
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: college football all year round. We don't mess with the NFL, respectfully,

435
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: we don't mess with any other sport. We just we

436
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: love college football. We grew up in it, we're immersed

437
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: in it. We love it. But if you ever question

438
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: why we do something like that, aside from the obvious,

439
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: it's the president making himself available for or your show,

440
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: you got to understand where someone like me comes from.

441
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: I come from rural Georgia, and I don't come from

442
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: the traditional journalism background, and we didn't build this platform

443
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: the traditional way. In fact, we built this platform because

444
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: the traditional avenues were closed to people like me. That's

445
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: not even to not the traditional avenues, they just weren't

446
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: cut out for me. Guys. I've told my story on

447
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: this show many times, but you need to understand if

448
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: you come up the side of the mountain that we

449
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: came up, including a lot of folks behind this glass here,

450
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: if you come up the side of the mountain, we

451
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: had to come up. It's not even that things weren't

452
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: handed to you, it's that you had to sort of

453
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: you had to build it yourself. And if you've ever

454
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: had to build something in this ecosystem yourself, you understand

455
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: you take pride in it. Obviously, you don't take a

456
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: single day of it for granted. You don't take a

457
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: single viewer or listener for granted. But then also you

458
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: got to understand, Okay, if you ever start to have

459
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: any success, and this show has had a mountain of

460
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: success because of you, eternally appreciative for it, but if

461
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: you ever start to have success, all right, then you

462
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: start to realize you're driving sixty miles an hour through

463
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: the jungle, you're the one blazing the trail. In many cases,

464
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: you're the one that's leading the pack, and so the

465
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: front bumper is going to have a lot of dings

466
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: in it. Mema always said, no clean bumpers on the

467
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: lead car. No clean bumpers on the lead car. We're

468
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: fine with that. I accept that responsibility. But understand, when

469
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: the President of the United States offers to come on

470
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: this show, it is Hey, what does it mean for me, man,

471
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm a kid who grew up in the rural South.

472
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: What does that mean for me? I never thought I'd

473
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: make it this far. I never thought I'd be in

474
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: that kind of position. Number two, what does it mean

475
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: for the show? But what does it mean for the space?

476
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: What does it mean for someone in that position to

477
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: be on a platform like this. That stuff didn't happen

478
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: up until recently, It wasn't even possible for it to happen.

479
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: What does it mean for the other people in this space?

480
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: And that's not just to talk about accessibility of President

481
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to other people in this I don't mean that.

482
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean infinitely broader than that, opportunities normalizing that kind

483
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: of stuff happening. And then what does it mean for

484
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: college football for the President of the United States to

485
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: even be paying attention to it? So, if you want

486
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: to know where my head was at when I said

487
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: yes to that in two nanoseconds, those are some of

488
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: the places my head was at. I know a lot

489
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: of you have seen what you think is major pushback

490
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: to this, and it did not occur to me until

491
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: as close friends, maybe some family hit me up sort

492
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: of worried. I walked into the building and Jesse was

493
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: kind of worried today. I saw that look in your eye.

494
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: You were kind of worried about me. How you doing, boy?

495
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: I know they've been coming after you know they haven't No,

496
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: they haven't been coming after me. An army of Twitter

497
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: bots has come after me. But you know, if you

498
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: have access to some of the tools we have, you

499
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: know who is and isn't real On the Internet. I'd

500
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: say over ninety five percent at at time of airing

501
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: today of the pushback that we've gotten online has been

502
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: from fake accounts. So the actual feedback we've gotten from

503
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: the concept of bringing the President on the show has

504
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: been ten to one positive when it comes to real

505
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: people voicing their feedback, and then there's been a sliver

506
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: of outright negative. There's been a sliver of people who

507
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: genuinely watched the show and they just don't like the

508
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: idea of it. I retweeted a guy today who said,

509
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't really know that I want to listen to this,

510
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: so I'm going to skip this show. I'll just come

511
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: back for the next one. I said, well, that's an

512
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: adult decision, okay by me. And I've even got a

513
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: lot of folks who I certainly know to be from

514
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: the other side of the political aisle that had the

515
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: audacity to call me, and some of them congratulated. Some

516
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: of them said, hey, you know how I feel about

517
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: the president personally, but huge deal to have him on

518
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: your show.

519
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: But even those.

520
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Who didn't like the idea had a lot of conversations

521
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: with him. Totally okay with that. I just wanted any

522
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: of you to know who don't really understand how the

523
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: internet works. It's kind of like if you were in

524
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon it was really foggy and you heard

525
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: what sounded like the biggest tiger in the history of

526
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: the world growl, you'd be scared. It's number one, you're

527
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: in the Grand Canyon. I don't know what you're doing there.

528
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Number Two, I don't know how much fog got in here.

529
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: But number three, you don't really know what that sound

530
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: is or where it's coming from. And it's really scary,

531
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: really freaks you out. But what if the fog lifted

532
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: and then you saw up at the top of the

533
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: canyon it was just a tiny kitten with a microphone

534
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: in front of its mouth, and you saw that the

535
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: fog had been covering up amplifiers on both walls of

536
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the canyon. You feel pretty stupid at that point because

537
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: you let a kitten that you fit the palm of

538
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: your hand freak you out. That's the Internet. That's negativity

539
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: on the Internet. Now. I live in this world, so

540
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: I kind of know how that works. I know, not

541
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: all of you do. So you look at it and

542
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: you think that's real. That's not real. And we laughed

543
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: at it internally, but I understand our audience. Man. I

544
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: knew we were going to have some legitimate pushback, and

545
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, totally fine with it. I would

546
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: also ask, ay, if you're around here, if you're watching

547
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: the show right now, if you're watching the video right now,

548
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: and you've never heard of the show, Hey, we do

549
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: this thing free. We do it year around. It is

550
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: college football. I would love it if you guys would

551
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: subscribe to the channel. Like I said, it doesn't cost

552
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: you a dime, doesn't sign you up for anything, doesn't

553
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: put you on some mailing list. It really doesn't change

554
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: your life at all. It just helps us out because

555
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: we love providing this kind of content. But the experience

556
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: was amazing. Now the experience is it's a spectacle. I

557
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: know some of you have been maybe at sporting events

558
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: and a president is there, or you've kind of seen

559
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: on TV, like you watched the motorcade go by. But

560
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: to be at an event, especially a small, confined location

561
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: and maybe an advanced security team has been working with

562
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: you for a few days and you've loaded all your

563
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: equipment in there, and they've been on the ground several

564
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: days ahead of the event itself. Number One, you come

565
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: to know those people by name, and that's fun. Those

566
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: are fun interactions. But then man, the different levels of

567
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: security as the event draws closer, the different levels of security,

568
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: watching how different tactical teams take over even during the

569
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: day leading up to that moment when a president arrives.

570
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: I've always been fascinated by that. I'm as fascinated by

571
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: the logistics of moving presidents maybe as I am presidents themselves.

572
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: But it's pretty wild, pretty wild. I've been around it a

573
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit more than maybe the normal person. But when

574
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: you see how much the energy level drastically ramps up

575
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: when you hear those sirens and you see that motorcade,

576
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: and then the advanced secret Service team tags out and

577
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: then the real like on duty with the President's Secret

578
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Service team just swoops in there and you're just kind

579
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: of standing there saying all right, then they tell you

580
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: take your hands out of your pocket, sir guilty. Yeah.

581
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing, really amazing. It's just a it's like an event.

582
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's to describe it. Those of

583
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: you who have been around it you understand. But look,

584
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: we learned a lot from this. I would say yes

585
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: to it again in a heartbeat. The President was beyond

586
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: courteous to us, and we really appreciate him giving us

587
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: that opportunity. I appreciate the way his team handled it

588
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: because I know one of the most popular questions I

589
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: got about this was how do they handle it? How

590
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: do they tell you what you're allowed to do. They

591
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: didn't tell us what we were and weren't allowed to

592
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: do one time. From a content perspective, maybe like a

593
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: general idea, Hey, do you kind of know some themes

594
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 1: you want to hit, like do you want us to

595
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: have him prepared for anything? But outside of that, I

596
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: was actually actually shocked at the parameters that weren't in place.

597
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: But then again, we had a good open line of

598
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: communication with him. I know it will shock you to

599
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: realize that there are many people in the White House

600
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: who watched the show, and so we got to interact

601
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: with them. But I mean Carolyn Levitt's staff, we enjoyed

602
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: dealing with her. Susie Wilds, chief of staff, we enjoyed

603
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: dealing with her. She's more behind the scenes a lot.

604
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: You don't get to see her on cameras so much.

605
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: So it was a ten of ten experience for us.

606
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: Aside from the time crunch, which I wish we could

607
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: have gotten more time, But other than that that's out

608
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: of our control. It was a lot of fun, man,

609
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you guys checking it out. I also

610
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys checking out FanDuel. It is, after all,

611
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: the exclusive odds provider of the show, and we are

612
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: going to go on to talk later in the show

613
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: tonight about a whole lot of odds and ends, you know,

614
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: like I'm going to talk about where could some wildcard

615
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: teams be this year and like, for instance, last year, Oklahoma,

616
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: when FanDuel released the season win totals, it was like

617
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: six and a half I think it was Jesse and

618
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: then Oklahoma goes to the playoff. Where do we find

619
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: those teams, well, you can find them on FanDuel. At

620
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: least you can find the opportunities on FanDuel. And so

621
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: they've always been the exclusive odds provider of our show,

622
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: so we appreciate them. And also, look, I'm talking about

623
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 1: college football, but you got college basketball going on right now,

624
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: you got the NBA going on right now, We've got

625
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: conference tournaments around the corner, we got March Madness around

626
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: the corner. So you don't necessarily have to wait, you

627
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to reserve your action for the moment

628
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: you get a good feeling on Clemson versus LSU. You

629
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: can if you want to, but you don't have to.

630
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: We always appreciate FanDuel equipping us every step of the way.

Speaker 1: Now, I told you that there were gonna be some

651
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: controversial points of the show tonight, and those happen right now.

652
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: It's time for us to update our college football head

653
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: coaching power rankings. No, Rake, We're gonna do rankings, right, Jesse.

654
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: Do you don't power rate coaches? Yeah, we don't. Well

655
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, Bradley, here's a good endpoint for you.

656
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: It is time for us to update our head coach

657
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: power rankings. And we did not even do it last year.

658
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think we did, so we've taken a two

659
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: year hiatus. So it's totally in the tumbler. I'm turning

660
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: it right now. I don't know which ping pong balls

661
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: are gonna come out. Here's how I rank head coaches.

662
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: It's not just what I saw in the last five minutes.

663
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like when we rank programs. What

664
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking for is I'm looking for a three year

665
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: rolling blend of criteria. This is what matters to me.

666
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: If different stuff matters to you, that means our rankings

667
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: are probably gonna look different. So I care what your

668
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: teams have done on the field the past three years.

669
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: I care about your relative ability to acquire talent. Like

670
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: if you're at Kansas, I don't expect you to recruit

671
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: in the top five. Like if you're at LSU, I

672
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: do expect you to recruit in the top five, at

673
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: least if you're gonna be ranked high. I care about

674
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: your culture. I care about your organizational strength, your ability

675
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: to hire and to backfill after your staffers go on

676
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: to bigger and better things. I have a very, very

677
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: slight predictive element to this. So like, I'll talk about

678
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: a couple of coaches that, when all else was equal,

679
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: I bumped them up a spot because I just flat

680
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: out think they're about to do big things. Like I

681
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: believe in what's around the corner, what's on the next page,

682
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: and if there's other tie breakers, in my mind, I

683
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: do lean a little bit more towards recency bias. So

684
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: like that rolling three year blend, if your best year

685
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: out of that three years was three years ago and

686
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: the other guy's best year was last year, probably gonna

687
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: lean towards him. Spoiler alert, this is gonna go really

688
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: good for Kurt Signetti. So let's start at number ten.

689
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: I got Mike Elko at number ten on the brand new,

690
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: freshly updated head coach Power rankings. He had a season

691
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: at Duke that's mixed into the past three years. Remember

692
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: Duke had been terrible, and then he resurrected them all

693
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the way up too. I think they finished eight and

694
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: five in his final year there, and then he goes

695
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: to A and M, and in his second season there,

696
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: they just went to the playoff, finished eleven and two. Recruits,

697
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: very very strong, one of the premiere portal destinations and

698
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: They're really really good strategic about how they evaluate and

699
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: attract talent. There. I totally believe in the developmental piece

700
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: under Mike Elko, so their's solid structure. And then when

701
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: you talk about the predictive element, like the next page,

702
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: what does it show. I really really believe they're trending up.

703
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: So I put Mike Elcho at number ten. A guy

704
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: that just faced him in the playoffs and beat him

705
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: is at number nine, and that's Mario Christobal. I know

706
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to probably get a fair amount to push

707
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: back that Mario should be higher. It's really close. So

708
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 1: I got Mario at number nine in the head coach rankings.

709
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: Right now, I lean recency. So if you look back

710
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: the past three years, which I'm factoring in here, there

711
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: is a seven win season, but they've printed up every year.

712
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: They've gone seven wins, ten wins, thirteen wins. They were

713
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: at midfield with under a minute to go down six

714
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: in the National Championship Game about a month or so ago,

715
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,239
Speaker 1: So they're knocking on the door of championship now, and

716
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: people were saying that what't possible not too long ago.

717
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: So there were a lot of things that were possible

718
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: there they just needed the right guy at Miami to

719
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: unlock the door, and he has. Now. There are a

720
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: few bad losses baked into this past three years equation,

721
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: but if you're leaning recency, you really got to like

722
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: what they've done. Talent acquisition, of course, is not a

723
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: problem down there, and they're a premier portal destination. But

724
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: also the intensity down there is off the charts, I

725
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: think from a culture perspective, and then even more so

726
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: from an organizational perspective. Organizationally is where they've massively trended

727
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: up over the past year and where I massively believe

728
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: in them. In the next page. If I'm kind of

729
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: looking to the future, I mean, think about the difference,

730
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: think about the night and day difference in that place

731
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: defensively from the defensive coordinator prior to then being replaced

732
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: by Corey Heatherman. I was with Heatherman in Arkansas last week.

733
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: You want to know why it was the Broils Awards

734
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: ceremony for top assistant coaches in the country. Let me

735
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: tell you who what and there the year before to

736
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: previous DC. We don't want to throw names under the bus,

737
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: so I'm putting Mario at number nine. I'm going to

738
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: the state of Texas for number eight. Give me Steve Sarkisian.

739
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of debate about a couple of names

740
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: and the placement of those names. Sark was one of them.

741
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: Steve's Sarkisian at number eight and the head coach rankings

742
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: right now. Finally harnessing Texas twelve wins, thirteen wins, ten

743
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: wins the last three years, made the playoffs, got to

744
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: the Semis. Was it the Semis requarterers? Jesse last year

745
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: played Ohio State, lost very close game, so they went

746
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: to the playoffs a year ago. The predictive layer here

747
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: matters to me. So you could have Sark as low

748
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: as ten or eleven. I wouldn't, but you could argue

749
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: that maybe you could bump him down there. A hater

750
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: would argue that. But especially if you factor in the

751
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: predictive layer and you believe in what's around the corner

752
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of like I do. That's why Sark could be

753
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: higher than eight. I put them at eight. They've got

754
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: three top ten classes last three years. Culture is just

755
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: it's hammered there. I wish I could take a lot

756
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: of people with us when we go to Texas. I

757
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: assure you. Every place talks about culture, and if you're

758
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: going to be featured in the top ten, your building's

759
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: got good culture in it. In all likelihood, your organization's

760
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: got good culture in it. I just have always happened

761
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: to walk away from Texas really feeling it. Anytime you

762
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: go out there, the folks in the building. One of

763
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: the hallmarks of great culture is you could talk to

764
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: fifteen people in the building any given day and they

765
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: all kind of sound the same singing from the same

766
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: hymnal as Memal calls that. That's a sign of good culture.

767
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: Now you'd have terrible culture too, like you could believe

768
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: in the wrong things unanimously. I think they believe in

769
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: the right things there. It's just there's that age old

770
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: crowd out there that believes you haven't won a national

771
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: title yet, you haven't done anything. I am not of

772
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: that crowd, and I also believe it's the best portal

773
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: program in America right now. So they're all in this

774
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: year odds to win a national title. They're tied for

775
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: number two with Ohio State in Indiana right now. Next up,

776
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: we put de Bour there's no wi. I gotta take

777
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: responsibility for this. I put de Boor at number seven.

778
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: Kaylin de Boor number seven in the head coach rankings

779
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: right now. Past three years are blended here, and there

780
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: is a national championship appearance at Washington blended in there.

781
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: And then he's got nine wins and eleven wins and

782
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: a playoff appearance last year at Alabama. A playoff win

783
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: last year at Alabama baked in. Their recruiting hasn't fallen off.

784
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 1: You remember, it feels like a long time ago. It's

785
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: not that long ago. When Debor takes the Alabama job,

786
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: what's the only thing people screamed. The only thing people

787
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: screamed was he doesn't know the South. Are they going

788
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: to be able to recruit the South? And now, ironically

789
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of critics out there, but none

790
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: of them questioned talent acquisition. They're getting really good players.

791
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: They're averaging top five classes there. They've been a little

792
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: more selective, but really good in the portal too. It's

793
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: just that I think there was an underrated set of

794
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: issues that they inherited, and he inherited when he got

795
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: to Alabama. I think they've dealt with it pretty good.

796
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: I think that the big question with Kaitlin, maybe even

797
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: more so than you would ask with Sark or maybe

798
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: even more so than you would ask with Mari or

799
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: Mike Elko. Is the predictive layer, that last bullet point,

800
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: that fourth or fifth bullet point, whatever it was that

801
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: we talked about valuing. You could find people that are

802
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: all in on Alabama. You can find a lot of

803
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: people who think they're trending down. I'm certainly more towards

804
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: the positive than the negative. But like I'll admit to you,

805
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: you couldn't run the ball last year? Well, how am

806
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: I supposed to just blindly trust you're going to get

807
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: that back? Now? Kirby and Georgia had a problem with

808
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: that a couple of years ago and they rectified it.

809
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: So it's not like we don't have a recent history

810
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: of people finding their way or running the ball. But

811
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: it's not easy to do. So that sort of thing

812
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: has to show back up, and that would be what

813
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: would vault Kaylin de Bore back up into the top five.

814
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: Getting close to the top five here number six. What

815
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: a world we live in? I got Lane at number six.

816
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: I got Lane Kiffin. Now LSU's Lane Kiffin at number

817
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: six and the head coach rankings right now. It's very

818
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: interesting to see the reaction on this because I could

819
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: see wild fluctuation in where people think Lane belongs but

820
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: eleven wins, ten wins, and then last year Old Miss

821
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: goes thirteen and two. Of course he's not there for

822
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: the playoff games themselves, but he coached them to the player.

823
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: On's the last time ol Miss had back to back

824
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 1: to back double digit win seasons. The answer is never,

825
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: It's never happened. So unlike some of these other places,

826
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, you got Mario trying to do what's already

827
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: been done at Miami, Lane will try and do again

828
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: what's already been done at LSU. Well, he did stuff

829
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: that had never been done at Old Miss, and he

830
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: managed the portal better. And they had to innovate through

831
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: necessity at Old Miss because they knew they couldn't go

832
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: heads up and straight up recruiting talent acquisition the way

833
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: Georgia can or the way Ohio State can. And he

834
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: constructed a solid staff that I don't think even I

835
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: appreciated at the time. Enough, so I got Lane Kiffin

836
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: at number six. And if you're going to go the

837
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: predictive layer, well now you know, if you believe in

838
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: the B tier versus the A tier of resources, you're

839
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: sitting in an A tier hotbed now in Louisiana at LSU.

840
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: So I'll put Lane at number six. We continue see

841
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: what people think about this again. Like I said, I'll

842
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: be very interested to see. I think a lot of

843
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: people may have the same names in the top ten,

844
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: but I think the order is gonna fluctuate pretty wildly.

845
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: I got Marcus Freeman at number five current head coaching rankings.

846
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: I got Marcus Freeman at number five. There's a ten

847
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: win season in here, There's a national championship appearance, fourteen

848
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: win season. There's another ten win season last year. Half

849
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: the country, you know, we call them the Compton class,

850
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: the Will Compton class. Thinks that Notre Dame got screwed

851
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: out of a playoff spot last year, but either way,

852
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: they were right there in the mix of recruiting and

853
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: on field production have leveled up from Brian Kelly. And

854
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: this is one of those things that I have had

855
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: to admit on the show that I was just wrong about.

856
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: I had become convinced that Brian Kelly was pretty much redlining,

857
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: pretty much maxing out Notre Dame's potential, and then Marcus

858
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: Freeman walks in and basically says, uh uh, and the

859
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: recruiting's better, and the on the field production is better,

860
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: and the intensity level and it just the overall sort

861
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: of animalistic DNA of the progress just better. And he's

862
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: got a rock solid organization, rock solid culture. Strong odds

863
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: this year. In fact, as of this moment, if you

864
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: are trying to look around the corner see what's coming next,

865
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's got the best odds in the country to

866
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: win the national championship this upcoming year. I mean, I

867
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: think most people agree with this. I couldn't be anymore

868
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: all in on Marcus Freeman, never been on the show before.

869
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: Could change. This spring, We'll see number four one, Daniel

870
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: Lanning of Oregon. We got Dan Lanning number four currently

871
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: in the college football head coaching rankings. Twelve wins, thirteen wins,

872
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: thirteen wins. That's his last three years. There's a big

873
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: ten title in there. There's back to back playoff appearances

874
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: mixed in there. The yeah butters will say, well, yeah,

875
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: but they got blown out by Ohio State and Ryan Day. Yeah,

876
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: that's why Ryan Day is yet to be listed. Well,

877
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: they got blown by Indiana. Yeah, you hadn't heard Signetty's

878
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: name either, have you? Outside of the few, Dan Lanning

879
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: and Oregon have pretty much dominated everybody else. So I

880
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: think Dan Lanning absolutely belongs at number four. They're a

881
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: very high level recruiter, They're a very high level portal destination.

882
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: Kind of feels like a matter of time with them.

883
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart found himself in a position once upon a

884
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: time where folks had started to say, oh, he can't

885
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: win the Big One, and then he did, and then

886
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: they moved on to Ryan Day, and then it was

887
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Day can't win the Big One, and then he did,

888
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: and now it's Dan Lanning. And I don't know if

889
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: they've as a consensus, like as a block gone as

890
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: far as to say Dan Lanning can't win the Big One,

891
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: but they're starting to whisper it, and he will eventually

892
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: win the Big One and then they'll have to move

893
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: on to someone else. But I got Dan Lanning at

894
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: number four right now. Very unique energy in the organization. Again,

895
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: we get to go to all these places all over

896
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: the country, and I'm not saying one's better than the other,

897
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: but there's just different feel at Oregon. A lot of

898
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: places say they have a different feel at Oregon, they

899
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 1: happen to be right about it. Give a little pause

900
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: so they can put in the hype video. Number three

901
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: is Kurt Signetti. This isn't controversial because you know, three,

902
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: two one, it's all good. I got, sorry, Bradley, I

903
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: got Kurt Signetti at number three in the head coach

904
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: power rankings right now. But if you wanted to argue

905
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: number one, I wouldn't really fight you on it. Because

906
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: at JMU three years ago, he went eleven and two,

907
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: and then he goes to Indiana and takes them to

908
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: eleven and two, and then he goes sixteen to zero

909
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: and wins a national championship. He's in the playoffs both

910
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: of his first two years at Indiana, a place that

911
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: had nine combined wins the previous three years. Culture is

912
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: an A plus. Organizational structure is an A plus. He's

913
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: got an incredible staff. Guys wanna work for him, Guys

914
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: want to play for him, and think about what they

915
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: just did. They beat Landing twice in route to a

916
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: national championship. They beat Debor, beat the breaks off of him.

917
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: They beat Ryan Days in the Big Ten title game.

918
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: They beat Mario in his own building. So he had

919
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: to go through multiple guys in this top ten in

920
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: the same run to win the national championship, and he

921
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: did it. So I guess if you're looking around the corner,

922
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how it gets better than that. If

923
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: you're looking around the corner, people have to wonder, is

924
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: this just a hot air balloon that has no sandbags

925
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: in it? Does it never come back to Earth? Are

926
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: there no consequences of success up there? At Indiana? It

927
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: is the real world, Like at some point there's got

928
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: to be a hiccup. But right now, I got him

929
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: at three. If you wanted to argue two or one,

930
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't argue. I'll tell you who I have at

931
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: number two at number one. I got Kirby Smart at

932
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: number two, so I should hold up two fingers. I

933
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: put Kirby at number two in the head coaching rankings.

934
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: He's got a thirteen win season, eleven win season, thirteen

935
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: win season past three years, a couple of SEC titles.

936
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: He's had the best recruiter in the nation. I say

937
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: best recruiter is in his program led by him, has

938
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: been the best recruiter on average in the nation last

939
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: three years, not a heavy portal pro But also George

940
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: is a little unique. So Georgia is a place that

941
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: was on top of the world as the portal slash

942
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: nil thing really really took off, and they haven't been

943
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: all in on it now. I don't mean they don't

944
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: spend money. I just mean they've had a different strategy there.

945
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: They believe in acquiring and developing, and it drives them

946
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: up the wall. I know it does. It would drive

947
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: me up the wall if I had my system, my

948
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: way of doing things, and then all of a sudden,

949
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have guys three and four years anymore, at

950
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: least as frequently as I used to, because you've built

951
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: a dependable, trustworthy structure, but you know, it takes a

952
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: little while for guys to marinate in it, and now

953
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: they just hop out. And the point is George is

954
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: rebuilt at forty thousand feet and never had the land,

955
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: and they've really never come back to earth even and

956
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: that's really underrated. A lot of places would have fallen off,

957
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: a lot of guys would have fallen off. You know,

958
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: there's a guy who would have been parked in this

959
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: top five five years ago named Daboswiney, who's not in

960
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: this top ten now because things changed and they didn't adapt.

961
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: Things changed under Kirby and he adapted. And Kirby's still

962
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: sitting here solidly one of the very best head coaches

963
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: in the country. I put Ryan Day ahead of him.

964
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: It's not a wide margin. Could go either way here.

965
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Day's my number one head coach in the country

966
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: right now. There is an eleven win season, a fourteen

967
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: win national title season, and a twelve win season. Over

968
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: the past three years, he has averaged a top five

969
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: signing class. And they've had staff churn, I mean, losing

970
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: the coordinators that they've lost and then backfilling the way

971
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: they have is unbelievable, unbelievable, and they kept rolling the

972
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: whole time. They are just humming as an organization. And

973
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: they have never finished outside the CFP top seven in

974
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: his entire run there, I know, technically only going back

975
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: the past three year, but what is this his eighth

976
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: or ninth year something like that, Jesse, And they've never

977
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: finished outside the top seven. That is a pressure spot.

978
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: That is a pressure job. And there's just even in

979
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 1: the drought versus Michigan, which they finally erased last year,

980
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: they never finished outside the top seven, spent an unbelievable run.

981
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: Ryan Day again, it feels like ancient history when people

982
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: said what he couldn't do? Oh man, Ryan, they can't

983
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: win the big can't get over the hump. Number one

984
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: head coach in the country. Congratulations to Ryan Day. A

985
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: guy gets up every morning. Does he want to develop

986
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: players and make guys better men on an off field? Yeah?

987
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: Does he want to win a championship? Yeah? Really? What

988
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: he wants to do is kick his feet up on

989
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: a Sunday night in February and he wants to turn

990
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: on his favorite show and he wants to see that

991
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: he's number one in the head coach Power rankings. And

992
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: to Ryan Day, I say, congratulations, you did it. You

993
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: did it. I can't imagine a dry eye in the

994
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: day household listening to that. Let's move on. We got

995
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: a lot of questions to get to. We won't get

996
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: to all of them tonight, but we do have a

997
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: lot of questions. Alvin in Huntsville, Missouri, what are the

998
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: biggest questions for the SEC this year? It's classy that

999
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: we found a different Huntsville than the one just south

1000
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: of us. In Alabama. Hey, great question here. So it's

1001
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: only February, so we got a long time to talk

1002
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: about this. But Alan wanted to know, or Alvin rather

1003
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: wanted to know biggest SEC questions this year. So I

1004
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: challenge myself to come up with all these in one minute.

1005
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: First off, is there a tier system in the SEC

1006
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: this year? And if so, what's the tier system? So

1007
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: by that, I mean once upon a time you would

1008
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: have like one or maybe two alpha dog teams and

1009
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: then there's a solid B tier. It's usually a little

1010
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: bit more plentiful, maybe four or five teams, and then

1011
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: there's like a fall off. Sometimes there is no C tier,

1012
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: just goes to D and F. There is no E tier.

1013
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: I cannot stress enough how compacted the SEC was last year.

1014
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: There were no undefeateds. There were eight teams with two

1015
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: losses or less in SEC play. The league totally compacted

1016
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: on itself. And yet eleven of the last twelve champs

1017
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: have either been Alabama or Georgia. So the league keeps

1018
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: spinning out the same champion. It's just the overall structure

1019
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: of it has changed a little bit. And there was

1020
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of really good but no great in

1021
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: the SEC last year. So my first question would be

1022
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: do we have any greatness in the league? Also, is

1023
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: there any terribleness in the league, because, believe it or not,

1024
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: you need a little bit of it. Folks too serious

1025
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: about football in the SEC, And all of a sudden

1026
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: you got Vanderbilt winning ten games they're not supposed to

1027
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: do that. Is Mississippi State just gonna remain a doormat?

1028
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: Is Ryan Silverfield gonna be unable to resuscitate Arkansas? Which

1029
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: brings me to a next question. Can any first year

1030
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: head coach catch lightning immediately? In this post Kurt Signety

1031
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: world in which we live, We've always got to ask,

1032
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: is there a first year head coach just about to

1033
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: hit the ground running? Pete Golding I count in this group,

1034
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: but Alex Golish at Auburn, Kiffin at LSU. Of course,

1035
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: Ryan Silverfield just mentioned him in Arkansas? Will Stein up

1036
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: the road from us here in Lexington, John Sumrall at Florida.

1037
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: Are any of those guys gonna say I don't need

1038
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: three years, I don't need two years. I got to

1039
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: contender right here. It's unreasonable to expect that, but it

1040
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: still could happen. Byron Brown gonna get the job done

1041
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: immediately for Golish there down on the planes, You've got

1042
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: the whole thing with Pete Golding of you had what

1043
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: I called the sugar high effect of him taking over

1044
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but then you've got to have the

1045
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: sustainability effect of all right, now it's mine full time.

1046
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: The interim tag is ripped off. Technically it already was,

1047
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: but you get what I'm saying, and now I'm the

1048
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: full time head coach. Or is old miss just going

1049
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: to continue to be all miss Lane should have his

1050
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: best opportunities that he's ever had at LSU. Okay, but

1051
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: is that gonna happen in year one? We do know?

1052
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: So FanDuel has released like three over underwin totals, and

1053
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: Arkansas is one of them right now and it's four

1054
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: and a half. So Ryan Silverfield, I don't think they're

1055
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: saying championship over there. I don't think they're buying tickets

1056
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: just in case for Atlanta in December, but who knows.

1057
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, is anyone going to catch lightning in a bottle?

1058
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 1: How about the returning quarterbacks in the SEC which returning

1059
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can elevate their play because We've got a sickness.

1060
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: We've got a mind disease in college football where if

1061
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: you have a returning quarterback, everyone just thinks they get

1062
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: twenty percent better. That's not an automatic. We call that

1063
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: the Garrett Nussmeyer protocol. We can call that decaid club

1064
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: Nick protocol. We call that the Drew Aller protocol. We

1065
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: learned it harshly last year across college football. So Gunner

1066
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: Stockton returns for Georgia, is he going to really substantially improve?

1067
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: Is Marcel Reid or John Mattier going to substantially improve?

1068
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: Arch Manning's going to be favored to win the Heisman Trophy?

1069
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: How much better should I reasonably expect him to be?

1070
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss? If he is indeed starting for Old Miss?

1071
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: Your most recent memory is him playing like a rock

1072
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: star in the playoffs? Is that just what I'm gonna

1073
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: get next year? Maybe even better? What about Leonora Sellers

1074
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: at South Carolina? They're paying him a lot of money,

1075
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: a lot's expected of him, or we're gonna see improved play.

1076
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: It's not a guarantee just because you're returning. And then, lastly,

1077
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: and I'll move on here, where's my wild card. Where

1078
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: is my Vanderbilt coming out of nowhere to go ten

1079
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: and two and flirt with a playoff spot. Where is

1080
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: my Oklahoma with a preseason over under win total of

1081
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: six and a half going to the playoffs? Is it Missouri?

1082
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: Is it Eli? Drinkwitz got a workable opening schedule, not

1083
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: maybe easy, but workable. So Austin Simmons remember this, he

1084
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: transferred there, the quarterback from Ole Miss. He transferred to Missouri.

1085
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: And they open up with Arkansas Pine Bluff and then

1086
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: they've got a game at Kansas, then they got Troy,

1087
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: then they opened against Mississippi State, they got Florida at home.

1088
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: Back half of the schedule is pretty brutal, but you

1089
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: kind of want to be able to ease in if

1090
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 1: you got a new quarterback. Could it be them? Could

1091
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: it be Auburn like I talked about Kentucky out of

1092
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: no where? Will Stein from the rafters on the zip line,

1093
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 1: could be I don't know. Mississippi State now three years

1094
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: in under Jeff Levy. Is there a wild card team

1095
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: in the league? So those would be some of the

1096
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: questions that I'm asking along with you. Have you been

1097
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: to paistatemterial dot com lately. Some of you went. A

1098
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: lot of you went to start the season. I appreciate it.

1099
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: We killed it in the store last year, and we'll

1100
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: be even bigger and better this upcoming year. But a

1101
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of you went when we first opened the store,

1102
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: and maybe you didn't go again. And if you go

1103
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: back now, you'll be shocked at how much inventory we've added.

1104
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: We keep that thing open year round, so I didn't

1105
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: even tell Jesse or Bradley to even key in on

1106
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: any specific items, just all in comp us in suggestion

1107
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 1: here peytstatematerial dot com. We've got sweatshirts, we got long sleeves,

1108
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: we got short sleeves. Do we have no sleeves? I

1109
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: can't remember, Well, write that down. Yeah, we'll work on that, okay,

1110
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: peytstatematerial dot Comment's there had a great question here, in

1111
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: the spirit of the fact that the Speaker series is

1112
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: right around the corner, we had a question, well, we

1113
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: had a bunch of questions about which coaches we're gonna

1114
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: have on but I can't announce that yet. But Stanley

1115
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: from Snowy Camden, New Jersey, said, if you could go

1116
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: back and interview anyone from college football history for the

1117
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: speaker series. Who would it be? And why? Great question,

1118
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: and this is one that everyone can play along to

1119
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: at home, or on the road, or at the gym

1120
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: or wherever you are. I always write down Keith Jackson

1121
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: anytime anyone asks me this. He never coached the game,

1122
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: he wouldn't a player. He's the best broadcaster to ever

1123
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: do it. I would go to Keith Jackson number one

1124
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: because he treated the English language like Picasso treated a

1125
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: set of paints. But number two because, if you think

1126
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 1: about it, not only did he have a way with words,

1127
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: not only was he a supreme broadcasting talent and a

1128
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: supreme storytelling talent. Keith Jackson knew everybody. Keith Jackson knew

1129
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: all the coaches. So Keith Jackson had all the stories.

1130
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: So why go to one coach. I'm listen some coaches too,

1131
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: But why go to one coach when I could go

1132
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: to someone who knows all the coaches and he's interacted

1133
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: with him for an entire lifetime, not to mention, he

1134
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: has stories of his own. So it's Keith Jackson. Think

1135
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: about like just dialing up a game. Hey, Florida State, Florida,

1136
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, just tell me about it and he

1137
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: does Iron Bowl nineteen eighty five, tell me about it,

1138
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: and he just goes for fifteen minutes on it. That

1139
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 1: would be awesome. I think it would be awesome to

1140
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 1: talk to Bobby Bowden. And also we were thinking about this,

1141
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: and since it's a question on our show, we just

1142
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: make up the rules. We're picking figures, and we're also

1143
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: picking the period of time. Right, So if I'm going

1144
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: early nineties Florida State, mid nineties Florida State, I probably

1145
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 1: want to go pre Canal pre Canal Florida State afterwards

1146
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: is a little tainted, so pre Canal Florida State, but

1147
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: they're still in their prime Bobby Bowden's there. I would

1148
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: just love to experience Florida State still with the fan

1149
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: base able to remember when they were nothing, because now

1150
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: you're forty years old, you don't remember when Bobby Baden

1151
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: basically built Florida State football. It's kind of just baked

1152
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: in now, like everyone knows Florida State football, even if

1153
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: they're down temporarily, everyone knows Florida State football was a powerhouse.

1154
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: But when Bowden was there, it wasn't that far before

1155
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: that they were nothing. And I'd love to be able

1156
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: to talk to someone because that doesn't happen anymore. The

1157
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: most glaring recent example of this potentially happening is Signetti

1158
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: at Indiana. Indiana has been in a major conference for

1159
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: a long time with adequate resources they just weren't tapped into,

1160
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,919
Speaker 1: and now someone finally did it properly. Florida State wasn't

1161
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: even on the map before Bowden went there and did

1162
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: what he did, So I would love to talk to him.

1163
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk to Steve Spurrier in the nineties

1164
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: because in the nineties, the nineties, I contend are the

1165
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: greatest decade in the history of the country. And the

1166
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: reason I say that is because it was a perfect

1167
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: mixture of Technologically, you've come far enough where you have

1168
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: all the modern comforts of a society, but you haven't

1169
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: gone past nine to eleven, because the entire world changed

1170
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: post nine to eleven, so we're pre nine to eleven.

1171
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: We are in a period of time art wise, culturally

1172
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: that I happen to love, but also you're in a

1173
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: period of time where people haven't really gotten around to

1174
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: carrying what everyone else thinks nearly to the degree that

1175
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: they do now. And there are a lot of reasons

1176
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: for that. Steve Spurrier, I don't think has ever cared

1177
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: what people think about in period, but especially in an

1178
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: entire society that was a little more like that in

1179
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: the nineties. I would love to have Steve Spurry you're

1180
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: on think about going down to Gainesville in the spring

1181
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: of ninety four or something like that. Baseball's on strike

1182
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, so we got a lot of

1183
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: audience looking for sports. That's the first thing. And the

1184
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: second thing is Steve Spurriyer with forty five minutes to

1185
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: an hour to just chop it up with you, That'd

1186
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: be unbelievable. And then I had one that was totally

1187
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: off the wall. If I'm able to take my current

1188
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: self and teleport to nineteen twenty seven, twenty eight Notre

1189
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: Dame and I have newt Rotney, I think it would

1190
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: be an interesting conversation because I'm talking to a legend

1191
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: of the sport. I'm looking around. Everything's black and white,

1192
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: because that's the way the world looked in nineteen twenty eight.

1193
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: I think, as much as it'd be fun to talk

1194
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: to New Rotney, think about the questions newt Rotney would

1195
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: have for me, because I'm from a century ahead of time.

1196
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm from a century into the future. I'm from two

1197
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: thousand twenty six. I've seen what happens to this sport

1198
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: over the next century. You got some questions for me.

1199
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: I think Newt Rockney would ask a lot of better

1200
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: questions than I would in that exchange. And I always

1201
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: have to write down daboswenty because we stopped asking Dabo

1202
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: to come on the Speaker Series, but he still always

1203
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: has an open invitation. We just I don't want to

1204
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: beg anyone because the way it typically works is we

1205
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: announce on the show we're doing the Speaker Series, and

1206
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: then everyone reaches out and we kind of mutually line updates. Well,

1207
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: Clemson's never reached out to us. I've reached out to

1208
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: Clemson because I'd love to have Dabbo. I'd love to

1209
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: go over there. I'd love to sit down with him,

1210
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: and we kind of talked a couple of times, but

1211
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: it never happened, and now I just stopped reaching out.

1212
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: But I still love to have Dabo because our he's

1213
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: our white whale. We've never had him on the show.

1214
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: So Bobby Bowden, Newt Rockney, Keith Jackson, Dabbo. What a

1215
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: foursome there. And also it was brought to my attention

1216
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: because I'd forgotten this when we were in our production

1217
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: meeting earlier today. And I'm not going to name a

1218
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: name here. People hate when I do this, but I'm

1219
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway. Forget about Dabo. I'm not talking

1220
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: about him. Last year, after we had the entire series

1221
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: lined up, I noticed that there was a coach that

1222
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I really wanted to be on the Speaker series that

1223
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: had not reached out. SID had not reached out, and

1224
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,439
Speaker 1: so I reached out to them and they turned us down.

1225
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: The SID didn't the SID was stoked about it. The

1226
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: head coach turned us down, and it wasn't it. It

1227
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,479
Speaker 1: was very polite, but it was just they turned us down,

1228
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: and they had their reasons and it wasn't anything personal

1229
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: or anything like that. They just turned us down. And

1230
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: it still eats at me. I'm not bitter about it,

1231
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: but it eats at me. And I think if I

1232
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: gave you twenty guesses, you would never guess who it is.

1233
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm not gonna mention that name is

1234
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: cause I hope to get that coach on the show

1235
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: this spring. At which point maybe that'll be the big reveal.

1236
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: I'll be excited to see who the guesses are in

1237
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the comment section. They're watching us in Columbia, South Carolina, Laredo, Texas,

1238
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: and Columbus, Ohio. Thank you so much. Very important segment

1239
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: coming up, critical because we're only like six months away

1240
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: from kickoff, so we have to get these things nailed down.

1241
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Gary from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Which weeks should we be looking

1242
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: forward to the most in the twenty twenty six regular season?

1243
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Of course, the answer is all of them, Gary, But

1244
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,959
Speaker 1: if we're gonna get specific, you gotta go to week four.

1245
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: Week four is pretty amazing. So Week four is a

1246
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: big week in the SEC, but there are a couple

1247
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: of big ones in the Big ten too. Look at

1248
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: that lineup in the SEC on this given week. I

1249
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of you are listening on podcast, so

1250
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: just kind of close your eyes unless you're driving, and

1251
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I want you to picture your running programming at ESPN, ABC.

1252
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: You have to decide which of these games goes where.

1253
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: So you've got South Carolina at Alabama and they've played

1254
01:01:58,240 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: two years in a row. The games come down to

1255
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: the our last two years. Ole mess at Florida is

1256
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: the same day, Oklahoma at Georgia is that day a

1257
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and m at LSU is that day. Texas at Tennessee

1258
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: is that day, So decide how you're going to run

1259
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: programming for the old ABC triple hitter. Then in the

1260
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Big Ten, Iowa is at Michigan and Oregon is at

1261
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: usc that day. So that is a very very tasty

1262
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: menu on week four's lineup. And then in week seven,

1263
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: this one's kind of spread all over the place. Love

1264
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,919
Speaker 1: what we have in week seven. So this is when

1265
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame goes to Brigham Young. And remember Notre Dame

1266
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: doesn't exactly have a murderer's row this year, so you

1267
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: got to take the premier and Notre Dame games where

1268
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: you can get them. Florida State is at Miami on

1269
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: this same day, and then I get Ohio State, Indiana,

1270
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: I get Penn State Michigan, and I get Nebraska Oregon.

1271
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: So that is a huge triple hitter that won't be

1272
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: on the same network in the Big Ten. And then

1273
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: in the Sea again, they're just kind of tossing Florida,

1274
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Texas at you and then Bama Tennessee and then Auburn

1275
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Georgia and then over in the ACC. I didn't want

1276
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: to sleep on Georgia Tech Virginia Tech, and I didn't

1277
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: want to sleep on Virginia SMU. And also, this is

1278
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: the same day that Arizona State plays Texas Tech. So

1279
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: Week seven sneakily could be the best week of the year,

1280
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: except that I would like to draw your attention to

1281
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: Week ten because I think Week ten may be even better.

1282
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Now the ACC is doing this thing. I don't know

1283
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: if it's weird, but it is a thing where they've

1284
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: got four conference games on that Friday. Where are they

1285
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: going to air Jesse do we even Obviously we don't

1286
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: have network assignments yet, but like we're CW's got to

1287
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: be involved. They've got to be involved somehow. How am

1288
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I supposed to do Friday night lines when we've got

1289
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: four league games happening? So anyway, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, SMU, Clemson, Syracuse,

1290
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: and Duke NC State, all those games are on a

1291
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Friday night. And you may be saying, oh, oh, those

1292
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: aren't any big deal. Okay, I'm just saying, there's a

1293
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: conference that has four league games on a Friday night.

1294
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: Then we get to Saturday. This is the big day. Miami,

1295
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is this day. In South Bend, Oregon at

1296
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: Ohio State is this day. Penn State is at Washington

1297
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: on this day. Brigham Young, Utah, Holy War. We say

1298
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: it two more times because they don't want us to

1299
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: say it, Holy War, Holy War. Always got to say

1300
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: it thrice. And then in the sec this is Bama LSU,

1301
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: This is Oklahoma Florida, This is Georgia Ole miss a

1302
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: playoff rematch. This is Texas Missouri, and this is A

1303
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: and M South Carolina. And then of course I got

1304
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: a rivalry week which is week thirteen, because we only

1305
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: got one by this year. So the Friday lineup Texas

1306
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: and Texas, A and M or that day Florida and

1307
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Florida State egg Bowl. A lot of Thanksgiving Egg Bowl proponents.

1308
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm part of that club. But they're going to play

1309
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: it on Friday again. Nebraska Iowa is on Friday. And

1310
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: then of course on Saturday, you got the game Michigan

1311
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: ot Ohio State. This year, you got the Iron Bowl,

1312
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: you got Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Missouri is that day. South

1313
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Carolina Clemson is that day. Look, I know it's February.

1314
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: I know we got a long time until we really

1315
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: really have to nail this down. But as I'm looking

1316
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: way down the road, I got those four weeks. Those

1317
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: would be the ones I circle. We'll wrap it up

1318
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: tonight with one more little tidbit that we have to

1319
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: get to. We've been doing the mood tracker, just looking

1320
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: at different programs and trying to take the temperature of

1321
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: the fan bases as we get ready for spring, and

1322
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: we figured we'd spin the wheel. We saw that it

1323
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: landed on the Florida Gator logo. We do Florida's mood

1324
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Tracker tonight, and the mood for the Florida fans is

1325
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: basically just kind of like makeover time. Look, some teams,

1326
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: some programs are losers out there, calls their losers. Florida

1327
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: is not a loser program. They just have to look

1328
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: in the mirror and think we're hotter than this. We

1329
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: should not look like this. We just need a makeover.

1330
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: We just got a Laney Bog's ourselves. We gotta take

1331
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: the ponytail down. We got to pull the glasses off,

1332
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: we got to take the smock off. And that what

1333
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: artists wear, aren't they called smocks, I believe. Yeah, there

1334
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: is zero culture behind that glass. Maybe Bradley a little bit.

1335
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Four of their last five years have been losing seasons.

1336
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: This cannot happen. This should not happen at Florida. Now

1337
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: here's the good news. It hasn't been so long that

1338
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: they've won there that people have forgotten. It is I

1339
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:39,439
Speaker 1: still counted as recent memory. I guess it's fifteen years ago,

1340
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: but still fairly recent history that Urban Meyer and Florida

1341
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: did what they did there, so we know it can happen.

1342
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: I will continue to say an armed and aimed Florida

1343
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: is a very dangerous Florida because you remember when I

1344
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: went down there the last several years. We go down

1345
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: there and see Billy, see the coaching staff, do the

1346
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: speaker series down there, and I've told you the last

1347
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: couple of years, place is extremely dangerous. They got everything

1348
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: they need, and then they would to varying degrees underachieve

1349
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: on the field, and everyone would say, oh, you were

1350
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: wrong about Florida. Hey, I may have been wrong about

1351
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: some predictions here or there. The DJ Lagway number one

1352
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: quarterback in the SEC last year, Yeah, that one missed

1353
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the dark board. It hit someone in the arm over there. Yeah, okay,

1354
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: do I regret that little bit, But I'm not wrong

1355
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: about what Florida is capable of. I'm not wrong that

1356
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: when you go in that place, it's really impressive. There

1357
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: are a lot of folks committed to winning there. Then again,

1358
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: so are there in Athens, Tuscaloosa, Austin. So no one

1359
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: really cares what you're committed to doing. They care what

1360
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: you are doing. They made a good hire. I like

1361
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: John Summer all a lot. I just think that there

1362
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: was so much fixation on Lane Kiffin in the hiring

1363
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: cycle that a lot of people looked at anyone other

1364
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: than Lane, and we're going to be let down by it.

1365
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: And the history of this sport shows that, more times

1366
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: than not, it's not the programs that go hire a

1367
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: proven superstar that end up winning in the long run.

1368
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Number one, because it's hard to hire approven superstar. Number

1369
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: two because more times than not, it's the program that

1370
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: finds its future superstar head coach instead of going and

1371
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 1: plucking someone else's finding who is going to be your own.

1372
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: So maybe John Sumrawl ten years from now has become

1373
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: to Florida what Ryan Day is to Ohio State or

1374
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: what Kirby Smart is to Georgia. Obviously, this is a

1375
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: best case scenario type situation. But maybe that's what happens,

1376
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: because that's far more likely than the alternative to me,

1377
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: at least. It's been a while, though, you know, since

1378
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: the SEC's had to fear Florida, it's been a while.

1379
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of Georgia, been a lot of Bama.

1380
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: There's been some LSU in there. Boy, Florida hadn't been

1381
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 1: on that radar. Tennessee's popped, Tennessee was in the playoffs

1382
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: two years ago. Florida has just not been there. And

1383
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 1: Oklahoma made the playoffs last year. You just wonder they

1384
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: cannot stay down forever. Even Old Miss in the playoffs

1385
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: last year. How long until it's Florida's turn. I do

1386
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: think they got the right guy down there. I really

1387
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: really believe in John Sumrall. I've talked about him for

1388
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: three years. I really believe in them. They just got

1389
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: to have a makeover. You don't have to reinvent the

1390
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: wheel down there. Everyone knows what the principles to winning are.

1391
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: Some're all's done it multiple stops. I understand, yes, you

1392
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: don't have to come in the comment section and scold

1393
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,640
Speaker 1: me on this. I do understand that it wasn't that

1394
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: long ago. People were telling you, oh, Billy Napier knows

1395
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: what it takes to win, and then you looked and

1396
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: he didn't win enough for you, and you say, well,

1397
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: maybe the formula for success winning at the G five

1398
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: levels different than here. Uh no, No, it's just maybe

1399
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: the stage is a little too big, maybe the lights

1400
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: are a little too bright. The formula for winning that's

1401
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: not in question. You just got to have a guy

1402
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: that can execute it. I think you do. Time will tell.

1403
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: That's our show. We appreciate you so much for joining us.

1404
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: Was a unique show tonight, and I assume that there

1405
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: will be a lot of dialogue hat about it. Look,

1406
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: I know if you're watching in February, you're one of

1408
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,519

1409
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,440
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Check and see if you're subscribed,

Speaker 3: That you do that.

1412
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: We will do our next live show Thursday night. We'll

1413
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,320

Speaker 1: probably Wednesday morning, So look for that this week and

1415
