37
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: I think Deon deal with the hell he was supposed

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: to do, and we as black people, got a bad

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: always trying to tell somebody what to do. Right. The

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: first thing about it is Dion went in the Jackson

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: State I think it was maybe three years ago, right,

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: turned the whole program around, spent his own money building

43
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: them a new practice field, spent his own money every time.

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: See the problem me was every time Dion went to

45
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: the administration to ask for some more, some money for something. Hey,

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: the keys need food or you gotta figure that out, Deon,

47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the keys need this. You gotta figure out Dan. For

48
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: Christ's sakes, how long is the man supposed to spend

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: his own money. It ain't like Dean ain't playing football

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: in twenty five years though. It's not like he had

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: a pile of money just sitting somewhere. I think Dean

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: did what he was supposed to do, because that's the

53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: problem man. As black people, we have a problem of

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: speaking out of turn on somebody else's situation all the

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: time and not knowing what the hell we're talking about.

56
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Half the time, it was people actually mad at Dean

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: standards for leaving the school. Dean did what he should

58
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: have did because the problem with them HBCUs Deon can

59
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: fix it by itself. Even if Dean would have went

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: over there and stayed there, all he would have been

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: just had the program where he would have been beating

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: the shell of every other team in his whack. Every

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: week that wouldn't have been no fun. Dan did what

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: he's supposed to do. Because I'm gonna tell you what

65
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the problem is now in college football is we don't

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: have enough coaches that can relate to our kids. And

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: when I talk about our kids, you already got kids

68
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: coming in with PTSD at high school. You got the company,

69
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: and they suffered from property. So in some cases they

70
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: hundreds of miles from home and their mama don't got

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: no money to come there and see him. Right, So

72
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: you got this white coach, and shame bag. Is there

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: some great white coaches out there? Right? So this ain't

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: about black and white. This is about culture. When you

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: got a kid that's coming from the hood, he's gonna

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: come in a certain way. He's gonna be very raw

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: because in a lot of times, a lot of a

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: lot of cases, he hasn't had that parental father figure

79
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: in the house. You feel what I mean? Everybody is

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be like Corn or Chris. Do you feel

81
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? That got a daddy at home and

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: tell him what to do. So those kids need a

83
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: certain other level of attention, and sometimes that comes in

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the form of a black coach. We got plenty of

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: black assistant coaches broke, but on the B one level,

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: it ain't. It ain't a lot of us. That's why

87
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: I always route for a brother when he gets them jobs.

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: I rooted for the brother Dante when he got the

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: job at s C and the interroom I wrote. I

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: rooted for the brother that not the dame when he

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: got that job. And I'm rooted for den in agenda

92
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: to where I'm gonna do this and then I can.

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's James, that's a lot of I mean,

94
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: if I'm m you talked to certain people, you know, uh, students, Uh,

95
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: people who represent hbc U, s um. You know, the

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: emotions are kind of mixed. Uh. Some people feel you know,

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: maybe he used Jackson State is a stepping stone, uh,

98
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: because he wanted to coach at Florida State and they

99
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: turned him down. So that's how you know. UM, so

100
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: that can have just been proven a point. But my

101
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: thing is, you know, um, at what level do you

102
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: feel like you know quote you know your blackness? Is

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: that question because you know, any time you working in

104
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: this situation, I mean, if you work, you want to

105
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: be promoted, right, you want to be you know the

106
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: quest of you as a man or getting to a

107
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: certain statue or status is to become there. You know,

108
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: if you start at the bottom, like they say, you

109
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: start out at the bottom and you want to reach

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: the top. So do you feel that his top plateau

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: should have stopped at Jackson State? I think you should

112
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: have just continued there because what you did with those kids,

113
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: the kids love that dude, and he did something like

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he really worked with those cats. He won

115
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: football games. But you know to leave, why leave? Well,

116
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: he had to, James, because that's situation. There wouldn't have

117
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: gotten no better. Bro. See, look, let me explain something

118
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: to you and James, I understand why you feel the

119
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: way you feel. Right, There's a lot of stuff that

120
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: goes into running the program, right, especially when you start

121
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: talking about the difference between the Jackson State un Let's

122
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: say even UM even in Colorado, Colorado was not a UM.

123
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: It's a Power five program. But they have they've been

124
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: losing for a long time. Right, Even with that, they

125
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: have certain resources from the stadium to the food. The

126
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: kids heed to travel a lot of times in the swag,

127
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: those guys kicking the buses the games. So just imagine

128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: you're getting off the bus on a twelve or eighteen

129
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: hour drive, right then you gotta go play a game.

130
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: You an't got no money for hotels. As soon as

131
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: you go out there and play the game, you're happing

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: right back on the bus and you're going back to

133
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're going back home, right So I think

134
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: with dan Man, I don't think he hadn't hit me gender.

135
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I think he would have stayed there had they done

136
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the right things. But he spent a lot of his

137
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: own money, James. You know, he spent a couple of

138
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: million dollars building their practice facility for them his own money.

139
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: Every time he went to the administration to ask for something,

140
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: they would pretty much tell him, you handle it. After

141
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: a while, you gotta get tired. And plus, my thing

142
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: is this, you gotta think about eight Dean played football

143
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: a long time ago. He just sitting on a billion

144
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: dollars like that. I'm pretty sure his paper is straight.

145
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: But how long? And what's wrong with him? Progression? Because

146
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: he is my thing. White folks have the privilege of

147
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: going somewhere stand lying to a bunch of kids and

148
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: getting the funk on. They do it to nobody question them,

149
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: But we do it in progress. Everybody mad off us

150
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: and we gotta take the motion out of it. Man,

151
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: And he applaud him for the time they did have them,

152
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: because he did some great things for that program. He

153
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: brought a lot of light to it. And he taking

154
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: those kids with him because they just made a new

155
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: rule that a kid can transfer one time without a question.

156
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: He taking all those guys that came in with him,

157
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: So he ain't been disloyal to nobody. Unlike some of

158
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: these other coaches. They will go their recruit keids lied

159
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: to him, get their bonus and get on that. After

160
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: my son when he first went to college, man a

161
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: coach lied to him all the way up there. As

162
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: soon as my son enrote, the dude was out of there. Damn.

163
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: So it's a dirty game, man, And I'm not mad

164
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: at them for leaving Man not at least big can.

165
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: But can progression be I mean, like I said, yeah,

166
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: everything is to reach a certain point. Right. You're high

167
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: school football coach, you wanna maybe coach college one day? Right?

168
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: You're a college coach, you want to coach NFL one day? Right? Yes, sir,

169
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: is your loyalty and question because of your progression in

170
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: this and in this. In this case, probably yes, yes,

171
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: even though I don't. I don't agree with it, but

172
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: I feel because the average person thinks like James, you've

173
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: gotta understand. The average person at home don't know the

174
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: inner workings of football program. Hell, I don't know everything

175
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: that go on behind the scenes because I'm not privy

176
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: to it. Right, But on one case, I can see

177
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: where the brothers may be. Man Like man, Diann was

178
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: our savior. He was supposed to do this. He was

179
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: supposed to make the hbcun because at the time, I'm

180
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. It was pretty exciting because I had

181
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: the thought of my head, like man gets amazing that

182
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: for all the five stars start going to xbc US

183
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: because he Back in the day, a lot of those schools,

184
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: like the Alabama's, Florida's UM, a number of schools didn't

185
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: even let black kids go to their school. This is

186
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,239
Speaker 1: just in the sixties on up to the early seventies.

187
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: They didn't allow black kids to go there. And SC

188
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: was actually one of the only programs back in the

189
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: all black keys to play. That's what made Alabama changed

190
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: the whole thing around. Alabama had all these white kids

191
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: that have been winning games. USC went down there and

192
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: hooked their years. They couldn't stop them brothers. Was Compton

193
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: running the brothers long beach, running the rock on them.

194
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: It was too much that Bear Bryant said, funk this

195
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: a y'all got a change that I need me some

196
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: of them niggas down you're running the rock. So James,

197
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: if it was you, you you would have decided to stay

198
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: at Jackson Well. Not knowing the circumstances of his his

199
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: situation and just on the outside looking in, I would

200
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: have said, stay and build something. You know what I'm saying.

201
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's more kids to come after the once

202
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: he just worked with. So you gotta look at longevity

203
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: when you're doing stuff like that. If you don't have

204
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: a hidden agenda, then my purpose is to reach all

205
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: the black kids. I can reach all the kids. I can't.

206
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Because if you look at

207
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: it when he first started with that, you had a

208
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of guts that was but wow, and he taught

209
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: those young dudes. He talked. He talked those kids out

210
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: of the men. He made him grow up. Even with

211
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: the shooting ship and all the ship that was going on,

212
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: he schooled those kids he did, being honest, a good

213
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: kid I've had the pleasure to do. He has the

214
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: influence too, you know, a tract of a lot of

215
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: you know, like you say, a lot of like you say,

216
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: still a lot of four and five star black kids

217
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: who would have necessarily ended up probably at power five

218
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: schools maybe to go play for Dion. You know, they

219
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: would have, you know, took that chance. But again, Dion

220
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: only coach for Jackson State. Everybody can't go to Jackson State.

221
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Do you think him staying there would have a lot

222
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: would have made other Black kids of that magnitude transition

223
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: over to other HBCU schools because of Dion. Every kid

224
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: want the best, right, every kid want to become a

225
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: better player. But if I can't go play for Dion,

226
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: why would I pass up going to an Alabama or

227
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: a Clemson to go to a s othern or Grambling

228
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: or one of these one of the you know, the HBCUs.

229
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: How do you think a kid would do that? Okay,

230
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Deon termed Jackson stayed around. They hid in the HBCU,

231
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, but Dion don't want me at Jackson State

232
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: or their scholarships is full. But I got three four

233
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: scholarships on the table from a USC Alabama, So should

234
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: I turn them down and specifically look to go to

235
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: an HBCU. How many kids do you think would actually

236
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: do that? You know what, obviously, d n c DN

237
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: is a special case of coaching. His magnitude NFL Hall

238
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: of Fame or one of the best dB, one of

239
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: the best corners, if not the best ever playing professional football.

240
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: Right if a kid get the opportunity, hell yeah, they

241
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: go think about it. They really exactly, they go really

242
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: really think about it. But at the same time, Jackson

243
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: State only has so many scholarships available. As I'm saying,

244
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: everybody can go play for him. I think the way

245
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 1: I look at it now is with him going to

246
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: a Colorado, He's going to be able to impact even

247
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: more kids because he's gonna have the resources. Now, he's

248
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna actually have the program behind him. So I'm gonna

249
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: tell you Colorado about to put the bag behind him.

250
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: It's about to be craiging in Coloraddo like it was

251
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: when Eric de Enemy and it was there, exactly used

252
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: to being significant school where kids would want to go play.

253
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, uh, having that influence at

254
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: the HBCU level. You know there's only one Dion Sanders,

255
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: So how much influence would that have made other four

256
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: or five star black athletes want to go to HBCUs.

257
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: You get me because like again you know it's den. Yeah.

258
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: I if Deon give me an offer and I can

259
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: go down to Jackson State and play for Dion, That's

260
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: where I'm going. But if I can't get to Jackson

261
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: State and and am I front upon as a four

262
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: or five star black athlete by not going to an

263
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: h b c U, we you know what I do?

264
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: Notice eight, it's a lot of black kids not noticed.

265
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: The black kids that are signing up for the HBCUs

266
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: are from families to where they got resources. You know,

267
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily rich people, but they can help their

268
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: kids out. Because the rough part about the HBCUs all

269
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: of them ain bad. Right, They got some of the

270
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: best educational programs around. And I think that's the problem

271
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: with the HBCUs. A lot of those chancellors and chairman

272
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: they are strictly focused on education. They don't give a

273
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: damn about football. They don't give them about basketball. It

274
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: was even um I heard a rumor now this is

275
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: just something I heard. I heard a rumor that Dion

276
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: had some kind of TV deal set up right to

277
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: where each school it was gonna be able to get

278
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: a certain amount of money, and I heard the chances

279
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: was like, well man sent that money got to go

280
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: to this and that to the science department of them

281
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: was like, no, if I go make this happen, that

282
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: money needs to all go to football program because we

283
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: brought it in. It needs to go towards building these

284
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: guys dorms. It needs to go towards getting a better

285
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: food because be honest that the food was horrible down

286
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: there when he first got you know, it was feeding

287
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: kids but only sam becausept of the game. Damn. Versus

288
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: You're going to an Alabama sc and they've got a

289
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: nice hot plate of food for you with steak, broccoli

290
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: and potatoes and stuff breakfast, lunch and dinner and anytime

291
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: you want to eat food and places for you to

292
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: go to kill and you know, you know we've I've

293
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: taken visits with the kid and all that. So it's

294
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: a it's a big it's a big chump you. Like

295
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: I said, Dion has a lot of influence, you know,

296
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: But how how much does that influence travel to kids

297
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: who actually can't play for him? Now do I go, Yeah,

298
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a I'm a star athlete. I'm being

299
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: looked at. But you know, outside of going to play

300
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: for Dion, do I want to go to play for HBCU.

301
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Like you said, the money is scarce, some of the

302
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: facilities aren't up to par, you know, like, well what

303
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: from what we've heard? You know, I've been to a

304
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: couple of HBCUs in my days, performed or whatever, and

305
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: they always seem cracking to me. You know what I'm saying, schools,

306
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: they're not bad schools, and that's what I'm saying. Let

307
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: me bear for Let let me correct something right here

308
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: for all those people out there listening, I am not

309
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: against anyone attending an XBCU. I think you should do

310
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: what's best for you and your family. Again, do what's

311
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: best for you or your family. I wouldn't never try

312
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: to talk about you at the goring to one. I'm

313
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: just seeing in comparison and even of saying, who's a state,

314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: it's difficult. Like San Jose States a Division one program, right,

315
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: they got better resources than they would at a Jackson

316
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: State or a Southern And you know one thing I

317
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: didn't like about the h b c U s or

318
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: small schools in general, when they play those big ticket games,

319
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: like they go out and play an Alabama or somebody,

320
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: and the key is out there getting slaughter, getting beat

321
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: eighted than nothing, just so the schools can get it checked.

322
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: That wasn't cool to me because you can bring them

323
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: dudes up there on the bus to drive eighteen nineteen dollars.

324
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: They go up, they get their ass, then get put

325
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: right back on the plus and get sent back on.

326
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: It's not a cool experience for the kids. And this

327
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: is what I want to do. See, my thing is this,

328
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: if we go hold Dan accountable. H b c US

329
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: have an incredible amount of wealthy alumni. Oprah Winfrey is

330
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: from an HBCU. How come y'all not pressing her about

331
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: giving no money back? How she didn't get pressed the building,

332
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: the stadiums. You got t rge G. P Henson, you

333
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: got Tony Braxton, You've got your line to Adams, you

334
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: got Jesse Jackson, You've got Debbie had An Erica I

335
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: do Felicia Reside, Samuel Jackson, Spike Lee. Now all of

336
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: those people and there ain't exactly in the big in

337
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: their club and everything, but they got some well people

338
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: on that list. How come your puff, p did he

339
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: come from HBCUs? It's been some there's some famous people

340
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: to come from HBCUs. They're not bad schools, not at all.

341
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: In some cases they have better educational programs than the

342
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: main schools. Buff a million dollars, didn't he? Yeah he did?

343
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: But you know what though, James yet Puffy gave money.

344
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: My my thing is this right, I think us as

345
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: a black people we can't help. But look at it

346
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: it it's kind of an emotional thing. I'm not looking

347
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: at it from the emotional standpoint because I would just

348
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: love because see, I remember I remember reading stories about

349
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: those schools, how the Alabama's and all of them wouldn't

350
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: even let brothers go there. If they did go that

351
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: they with sicking dogs on them and ship. You know,

352
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: people are still very prejudice down there, don't get it twisted.

353
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of racism that go down there.

354
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: But again, Dion can only touch if he's at let's say,

355
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: Dean with the State at Jackson State. At the most

356
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to touch fifteen to seventeen new

357
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: recruits every year. Right, those guys come in. Everybody not

358
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: going to the NFL first of all, just because you've

359
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: got dean coach. No, don't you just gotta guarantee lock

360
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: to go in NFL. Going to the NFL and actually

361
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: even making the practice roster is like going to go

362
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: win a lottery ticket because there are so many good

363
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: football players. It's a whole lot of them. They only

364
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: go trash so many. They only have so many rooms.

365
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: They only bring a ninety in the camp, and they're

366
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: cutting them down to fifty two. You got fifty two

367
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: people on the team, and not the fifty two men,

368
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: only fifty I think fifty one of them dressed or

369
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: something like that might be wrong. So then you've got

370
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: a six team on the practice squard, right, So you

371
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: only got so many jobs out there anyway. Right, the

372
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: whole goal for you is to take you after school

373
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: and get education, right, become somebody in life. And that's

374
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: what I tell more kids. We have to start looking

375
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: for opportunities outside of actually playing the game of being

376
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: a coach, because the coach go always outlast the player.

377
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Those brothers are making incredible money. Now, I was talking

378
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: to the defensive back coach sc one day, and he

379
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: was telling me, Man, when he left Oregon, he still

380
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: had some money from there, right. I think they still

381
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: owed him like two million dollars. And when he left

382
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: um Nebraska to go to Oregon, Oregon old him three millions.

383
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: Nebraska owed him three million dollars, right, so they was

384
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: paying him in three million dollars. Over the next season

385
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: he went up to Oregon picked up another five million,

386
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: went s s Eaton got him six seven million. That's

387
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: not a bad gig. He's not damaging his nerves, he's

388
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: not damaging his knees, he's not damaging his back, he's

389
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: not getting the head entries. He they're just coaching football.

390
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: So we gotta start looking at those type of opportunities too.

391
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: And now, in regardless the dion, the only one that

392
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: knows what his true intentions was him and Jesus Christ.

393
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: But I'm cool with what he did because I'm gonna

394
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: tell you, white guys go to these programs and leave everything. Dog.

395
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: They're going there for one year, user it's a stepping

396
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: stone and go up. I've even seen coaches go to

397
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: a school be there for two or three months. And

398
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: then get another opportunity like the contract. Theyre buy that

399
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: contract out. They had other school by the contract out

400
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: and they get on. They don't get a funk. Dog,

401
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be real with you. Beyond cares more about

402
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: these coaches than the average coach. The average coaching Division

403
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: one football don't give a funk about these kids. They

404
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: just use them. You can just tell, man, from when

405
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: they come in and you think about the average coach.

406
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: These coaches they come and sit in your living room

407
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: and tell you, oh, man, your counts could be CREATI

408
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat him like he's my own. You're going

409
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: through it right now, and I'm gonna treat him like

410
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: he's my own. Guess what they're doing. As soon as

411
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: they leave your house, they're gonna go tell the dude

412
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: next door the same ship. They're going to kid down

413
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: the street. So my advice to anybody out there, pick

414
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: the school that you want to go to, and pick

415
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: that school that you would be happy. Yet irregard with

416
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: the coach yet, because that coach may leave one day.

417
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Because you gotta remember, we're dealing with people and the

418
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: loyalty to these the only keys to these coaches are

419
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: loyal to is the ones living in your house with him.

420
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not mad at that. White folks do it

421
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: all the time. They're allowed to leave, they allowed to go,

422
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: and don't nobody said, damn thing. Well, it's a business

423
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: as part of the game. But the moment the brother

424
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: want to advance and go through his thing, all that

425
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: motherfucker sellout. He this and that. You know what. I

426
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: was excited when Dianne went to the Jackson State, but

427
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: I knew what I said. Man, it's gonna take more

428
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: than just him. We're gonna need like a whole influx

429
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: of new people come in. Everybody gotta want to come in,

430
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: you feel saying. And then you got a Shannon Sharp

431
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: he said, it's straight up, he said, I went to

432
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: an x b U. That's because I was a prop

433
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: forty eight nine. You have no choice. If I had

434
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: had the choice chance to go to Alabama, Florida stinks.

435
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: You've damn right, I would have been there, right. Why not?

436
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: You think about the James. These kids want the bestness apparents.

437
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: You want the best for your kids. Think about Line

438
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: on Line will look kid. Now, Let's say Line started

439
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: playing football and become the number one dude in the country,

440
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: and you're going on visits with him. You're going to

441
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Alabama looking at their stadium, You're like, damn, they're feeding

442
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: you steak out, man, that I got this the recruiters

443
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: tips light you want to eat steak for a whole year, man,

444
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: I ate so many steaks and and just step three

445
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: or four times. Their people kissing your ass and doing

446
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: all this stuff. If you're a kid, that could be

447
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: very enticing. You gotta think about it. These dudes team

448
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: mateen years old. That's very enticing. And then Dion was

449
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: able to do the impossible by going to go U

450
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: get these elite kids. He's those some kids from Alabama.

451
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: Dion got to the point of where Nick Salem was hating,

452
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: No Nick Saban get any kid he wanted from University Alabama.

453
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: And add it was how the Dion mentioned and said,

454
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: I think they down that sheet and playing and paying kids.

455
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: It's like that was some old hater ass ship. I

456
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: didn't respect. I don't respect the old way for that.

457
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: But Dion definitely made a splash down there. And the

458
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: only thing I can say for Jackson State is you

459
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: already have the momentum, they need to focus on trying

460
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: to hire them another great coach, because they gotta think

461
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: all of them kids can't leave and go with d M,

462
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: but a lot of meals leaving to go with him.

463
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: He said that when he came in, he said, listen,

464
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm bringing my own luggies for me and my lucky

465
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: just Louis Vatton. He's gonna go. He's gonna make up

466
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: splash in the Pac twelve. And I'm gonna tell you

467
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: why I do think it's good on one on one

468
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: talking James, it's very hard for African Americans to kick

469
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: jobs these universities. The more success we have, the more

470
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: people see its successful, the more they go hire. We

471
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: need more brothers working at these Division one universities. Hell,

472
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: ain'ty percent of the kids on the team black? Why

473
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: not have more black coaches? Right right? I ain't really

474
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: in the football like that, but you know, I've been

475
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: watching him and I look at him and shape man,

476
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: that dude doing a good thing. And like you said,

477
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: he spent a lot of his money on it. But

478
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: but if my kid was there, I have to make

479
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: that decision from my kid. Both of y'all got shows

480
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: that played football, so y'all know better than me. You

481
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So well, you would always have

482
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: us to go back and talk to James, you like

483
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: I know him, this what's going on. I'll be able

484
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: to get you a fight. And a lot of the James,

485
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: it's really just common sense. Like I talked to eight

486
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: about nephew, I talked to a lot of the homies

487
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: about their kids and not tell them at the end

488
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: of the day, you want to go somewhere because they

489
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: ain't nothing guaranteed that coach gonna be there. That's one

490
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: thing these kids gotta know. You go to a university,

491
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: it ain't guaranteed that the man that brings you wind't

492
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: gonna stay there. I told my son that when he

493
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: was going. I said, man, I know, these dudes seem

494
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: cool and they're not bad people. They're just doing what

495
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: that's for their family. You think about it, this is

496
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: the average coach's career. The average coach jumps around just

497
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: like that. That's what they do. Your figure dude gets

498
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: out of college, he may play football. That's he goes

499
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: to the league and played for two years. Right, he

500
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: gets done with that, got his degree and stuff. He

501
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: gets a coaching job. He comes in as a grand assistant, right,

502
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: which is like a pretty much the lowest one on

503
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: the team, right, or he either goes into being a

504
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: recruiting coordinator. He comes into being and becomes a recruiting coordinator,

505
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: or he becomes a person in scouting, right, you know,

506
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: recruiting to where he's messing with the kids and stuff

507
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: like that, bringing me in on business, you know, calling

508
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: the kids up and everything. Now, if you come in

509
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: as a chie you're not making that much money. But

510
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: if you're coming in as a like a recruiting coordinator,

511
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: I think they start off a hundred hundred fifty thousand

512
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: a year, which is not bad for a young man.

513
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: That's not bad at all. He gets to travel, he

514
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: gets to you don't do what he do and what

515
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: happens he is somebody usually calls that guy that's a

516
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: recruiting coordinate, the grand assistant for a job. He sees

517
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: an oldenness somewhere. The next year he gone. He may

518
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: go somewhere. He may be in North Dakota for a

519
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: year being a defensive back coach. But what he's doing

520
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: his building his resume. Right, he goes north to COVID.

521
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: It becomes a defensive back coach for one or two years.

522
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: Then he finally may get his opportunity at a big university.

523
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: They may come call and he may have success at

524
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: that small school, but then he decides, Um, he may

525
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: get a University of Acre, which Division one school, and

526
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: say hey, we got a job for you. Now he's

527
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: going from making a hundred to four hundred five hundreds

528
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: in a year. Right, he may do that for three years.

529
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: He may be there for five years. But then when

530
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: the Alabama's the Prascas and all that coming, especially if

531
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: he gets a defensive coordinator job and he's one of

532
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: few games. Let's say he goes to University of Acre

533
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: and he knocks off on the Ohio State one year

534
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: or knocks off Michigan State. He could be the hottest

535
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: dude in the country. Everybody go be like everybody wants

536
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: the young coach. That's what makes Lincoln Riley and all

537
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: these other dudes so attracted people. These guys are young.

538
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley I think when I first met him, I

539
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: think he was thirty four, thirty five years old or something.

540
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: I went out to the business. Chris wanted to go

541
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: usit Oklahoma he was young, because that's attracted to the kids.

542
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: He's wearing the same shoes they do. He talked the

543
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: same thing in some case, listening to the same music.

544
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: So he's able to communicate with those kids versus old

545
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: ass man. It's out there yelling and bargain at him, right,

546
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: and so it gets going in one thing about it,

547
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: like you got coaches out there like Nick Saban, who

548
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: are very very good football coaches, very good football case.

549
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: I think Nick Saban on Ben He's been in the

550
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: National Championship Game eight how many times in the last

551
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: decade maybe seven and six a lot. He's always there.

552
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: He consistently wins. Right, But Dion was getting he Deon

553
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: struck a nerve with him me and this is a

554
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: dude that shouldn't even be thinking about den Nick Saban said,

555
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Dion down that cheating because he has stole the player

556
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: from He stole the player from Nick Saban. Well, he

557
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't steal a player, he convinced the player to come

558
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: to his program. I think Dean is gonna go to

559
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Colorado and be very successful, and I think is gonna

560
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: be good for everybody at the end of the day.

561
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: But Dionne couldn't single Hi Himley saying they say the swaging,

562
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: no way, I think he was down there. I'm not

563
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna say he was wasting his time, but if he

564
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna go down there, revolution the way

565
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: stuff was changed. Man, there's too much money involved. Either

566
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: needed a whole bunch of paper. He would have literally

567
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: needed somebody like Oprah Winfrey to come in and say, listen,

568
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a forty million dollar donation to the

569
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: SWAG and that wouldn't even been enough money would have

570
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: been I think I think people just because of you know,

571
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, people saying he brought in thirty million dollars

572
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: and he brought in the you know, the big businesses

573
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: and people who wouldn't have normally wanted to funk around

574
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: with you know, Jackson State or HBCU whatever. You know,

575
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: he got people to start. You know, I want the

576
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: want the funk around with it. So I guess people

577
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: taking personal. You know that you know him as a

578
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: black man first, you know, knowing the influence he could

579
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: have on you know, these black kids. Um could could

580
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: his influence start a fluctuation of of of black NFL

581
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: x NFL players or coaches or whatever to you know,

582
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: seek out hvc US for coaching jobs or offensive coordinator jobs.

583
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: And you know who knows you do know what the

584
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: thing was? And that was one of the things. D

585
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: brought him a nice staff down there. But from what

586
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: I heard, guess it was being guess who got the

587
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: money together? The thing the staff he did. He was

588
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: telling the man, I need to pay my gosh, you know,

589
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: these guys are here working sixty seventy hours a week.

590
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: So let me ask you another question, knowing what. Basically,

591
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: when he took the position, he already he knew what

592
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: he was up against, right, I mean it's Jackson State,

593
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, um what you know what was they you know,

594
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: what was their record before Dion showed up. They weren't

595
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: winning too many games. They were very dismal program. So

596
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: the excitement, I guess, and the hope for what uh

597
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: h uh, you know, Jackson State or HBCU or alumni

598
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: or whatever, past students whatever, I guess, the hope of

599
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: what they felt that Dion could have influenced to help

600
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: the HBCUs or the programs is why a lot of

601
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: people felt like, you know, uh, he used us or

602
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, why not stay and keep that influence here

603
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: and help out. You know, But like I say, once again,

604
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: would it be beneficial? You know what you James, what

605
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: you turned down five million dollars when you're getting to

606
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: fifty three hundred a year as opposed to getting five million.

607
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, all depend It depends on the kids. Now,

608
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: you gotta look at what dem went through with that program,

609
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: and now that he had a successful program, now they

610
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: want him to stay and they think he should have stayed.

611
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: But he said, I beg do different. I'm gonna going

612
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: and do bigger and better things, and I'm gonna take

613
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: my kids and I'm gonna I'm gonna keep going. I'm

614
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna do something else, but somewhere else. I mean, I

615
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: don't think you could be mad at him. It's just

616
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: a decision that he made. So why is everybody piste off?

617
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: Why is it all of a sudden now, oh prime time?

618
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: He arrogant? He is he that you don't hear that

619
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: about everybody else? Man? Because some people feel like he

620
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: he used us as a stepping stone. I mean, but again,

621
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: and is that is it? Like my quest is to

622
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: excel right, and uh that that's my if I'm in

623
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: the world, whatever I do, whether whether if if I'm wrapping,

624
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: My quest is to say a lead right right if

625
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: if if I'm working that a company and I'm starting

626
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: at the bottom, I one day want to become the

627
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: fucking prisoner. I will hold this motherfucker right, That's my goal.

628
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Nobody thinks small. Right if you that ambitious cat, you

629
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: get me like we we the podcast, whatever we do.

630
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: We wanted to go from here to here. So you

631
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: want to you are? Are you looked upon? And then

632
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 1: why are you frowned upon? Or or you just used

633
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: me as a step in stop? But this is what

634
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: I think eight and I'm being serious about it. Let's say, hypothetically,

635
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: let's say he did have a plan all along. Right,

636
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: Let's say he did have a plan all along, because

637
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Devil's advocate for a minute. Dion has

638
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: coached his kids at every level, which is rare. Right,

639
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: He coached his kids in Pop Warner. It's time for

640
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: him to go to high school. That dude went abroad

641
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: a high school dude. He made his own high school

642
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: and put some studs around his kids made his high school.

643
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: When now he was done, his kids out of high school.

644
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: He would have got him a job at Jackson State.

645
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: Now he's moved him up. I'm pretty sure in the

646
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: back of his head he said, you know what, his

647
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: son quarterback is a bad motherfucker. He threw for like

648
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: four thousand yards, ran for like another thousand something like that.

649
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: I believe could be wrong, but but he was a

650
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: good quarterback. He knows that kid is never gonna have

651
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: a chance in hell to winning the high sman out

652
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: of his wack, right. The level of competition just ain't

653
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: the saying. He's gonna had to be a somewhere at

654
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: minimum like a Colorado. You feel what I'm saying exactly.

655
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: Let's say he did have in his mind that I'm

656
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: using these places to step the stones. Everywhere he left

657
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: was better. He left a better condition than it was

658
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: when he came. It's almost like somebody coming up here

659
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: and burrowed my tie hole. They brought my tie ho

660
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: they bring it back and say, oh man, I wrecked

661
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: your tie hole. But guess what, and he pull up

662
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: in here in a new Bentley truck or something like that.

663
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be mad. He left. Everywhere he was

664
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: had a better condition, Like I think he genuinely cared

665
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: about the places he was at, but he might have

666
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: had in his mind the whole time, like I'm gonna

667
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: follow my kids up with this whole thing, and my

668
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: thing is this. I can't sit up here in line

669
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: and say I wouldn't do the same damn thing if

670
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: I could, if you had the power, if me and

671
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: you had the power, dog to say, we go coach

672
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: our key to every level. Let's say Karin go to

673
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: school and they say, hey, we think you a hell

674
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: of a coach. They offer you a coach and uh,

675
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: and you can mess around in there. Let's say even

676
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: if you're not coaching your kids, you're just getting to

677
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: be around him everything. Right now, Let's say he'd mess

678
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: around to go to the NFL and they said, you

679
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: know what, a we really like you as a coach.

680
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring you in a scout now, you with

681
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: your kids. If you could do that, when you do it,

682
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: you goddamn right. That's what I'm saying. We expect people

683
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: to hold up to expectations. We won't do our damn selves.

684
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: We expect stuff by the people, we won't do ourselves.

685
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: I'll be sitting up there lying like a motherfucker if

686
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: somebody offered me an NFL job and I knew I

687
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: could help my son out, not just my son, possibly

688
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: old son, possibly Lionel down the line here. Yeah, I'm

689
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna go take you to put me in a position apart.

690
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: I can put kids home, right, I can put kids

691
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: on and change their life and give them an opportunity.

692
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: So I think we get mad sometimes that people for

693
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: doing the same ship we would do. And it's not

694
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: like let's eat now, I'm I'm even playing Devil's advocate.

695
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: Let's say he had in his mind planning it, he

696
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: went down and spent money, got don it for the program. Now,

697
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what to be real fun up

698
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: if all them people that was looking out for him

699
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: and don't neate money to the program just because Dean

700
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna stop doing it. No, you have to be genuine

701
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: with two attentions. If you go get that kids some

702
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: money and do for him, keep on doing for him,

703
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: regardless of whether it's Dean coaching there or motherfucking m

704
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: c A coaching here, do the same ship. I mean, yeah,

705
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm you know, I mean, you know the

706
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: attitude to people, so you know, it's just unfortunate that

707
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: you know, you can try to put yourself in a

708
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: better position. But you know some people look at it

709
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: as you know, um, when it comes to our people,

710
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: you get me. We're very opinionated about certain situations. And

711
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: you know, half of us gonna be like, hey, good decision, man,

712
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: step up, you know, next level, and the other half

713
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: of us gonna be like, that's some fucked up ship.

714
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: You know. So sports always bringing out the emotions and people.

715
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. And when when Lebron left Cleveland,

716
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna die hard Cleveland Cavaliers fan from

717
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: the Bron from Cleveland Browns, like everything Cleveland. That's my seat.

718
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: That's where I'm from. When Lebron left Cleveland, after us

719
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: having that shitty team from decades, me watching them motherfucker's

720
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: lose game after game. The last time, the last time

721
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland was good was when they had um, when they

722
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: had the one team, not the Calves good. Remember back

723
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: in the eighties when the Calves had a decent basketball team, right,

724
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: so just imagine meat, we had a sorry yes football

725
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: team the whole time growing up. The thing we finally

726
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: winning out and it's with a niggad is from the land.

727
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: That's with a nigga is from Ohio. When he left, Dog,

728
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I was pitched off the motherfucker.

729
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: I didn't go by burn his jerseys and ship, but

730
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: I had to sit back as a chrons man and understand, man,

731
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: his motherfucker making more money than me. I'm sitting up

732
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: there worried about what the funk he got going on.

733
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: He needs to go do what the hell is best

734
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: for him and his family, right because he will tell

735
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: you this. He knew Lebrown left he still do a

736
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: game and ship for a while. Dolf North, he said, well,

737
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: this dude don't open up school, he don't feed people,

738
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: he don't build houses for people. He still goes back

739
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: and does what he needs to do for his community.

740
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying, and is the level of

741
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: the level which people you know and uh opinion makes

742
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: ship is you know it goes to a real high level.

743
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: Because it's like you said, why do I shaid, why

744
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: should I give a fuck? If that? You know, he

745
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: making a decision, making a decision that he feels is

746
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna better him as a person, better the situation, better

747
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: for his family. And that don't mean I ain't gonna

748
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: still influence uh my people, you get me. I'm still

749
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: gonna encourage black youngsters to, you know, do what they

750
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: can do and go to school, get your education, whether

751
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: you come in here to Colorado or you're going to

752
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: Jackson State or any other motherfucking place. You feel me.

753
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's unfortunate that the motherfucker gotta feel like

754
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, you used me, you know what I'm saying,

755
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: And now you've been to take off and go to

756
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: the greener pastures. And who's to say it's gonna be greener.

757
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: You didn't gotta make some of that money, but he

758
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: just over there paper still that money back. Ship we've

759
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: seen you know, Dogs and James. We all around the

760
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: same dazed group. When you get older, you stopped thinking

761
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: with less of motion. It's more about ship for what

762
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,400

00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: want to focus on. Uh in in in certain situations,

789
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: you get me right, you know what broke and it's

790
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: always gonna be like that. Just like I said, it's coaches.

791
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: They don't don't way worse than beyond. I've seen coaches

792
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: bring a hole frock the lower the keys in and

793
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: leave the next motherfucking day because you know, some of

794
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: those guys get bonuses for signing certain kids. Right, I've

795
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: seen them. Dudes come in and get their bonuses and

796
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: get the funk on. Don't nobody say nothing about it.

797
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: But the kid is sucked over because he may be

798
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: at a school he never He may be a school

799
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: just because of that coach, just because he liked them.

800
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: That's why I tell these young men we have to

801
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: start learning to see in some instances, ain't nothing wrong

802
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: with being selfish. You have to do what's in the

803
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: best for you because everybody else is doing what's best

804
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: for them. Now, that don't mean you go fund people

805
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: over or you know, you always want to carry yourself

806
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: A classic conviction, right, But me knowing that as a

807
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: little kid, if I was a kid going to a school,

808
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: now I was, for one, pick a school that I

809
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna be cool that regardless of whether

810
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: this motherfucker there or not, I wouldn't leave and go

811
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: too far away unless it was somewhere that I really

812
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: like want to be at. Like there's some kids dog

813
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: that they're bringing to go to university, and um, it

814
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: may be a cat string to go to a house

00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: state Alabama or se. They don't get, but then who

816

Speaker 1: they head coach us if they bring to be there,

817
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be straight whatever. Right, you have to

818
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: go into situations with the mentality that I am going

819
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: to make the most of my opportunity, because really that

820
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: coach didn't do nothing wrong with you. Here you opportunity

828
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: going to the NFL. Hell, if the NFL don't work out,

829
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: you have a degree, you have a very good life

830
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: right alone. As you got that, bro, that's all you

831
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: can ask for this. I've never left. I've never left

832
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: no situation my son was in feeling like somebody owed

833
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: him something because I feel like everything is on him.

834
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, you at the end of the day,

835
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: you still have to go to class and perform. You

836
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: still have to perform on a football field. So it's

837
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: all with him. Anyway that coach is there, don't guarantee

838
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: him none of that because you still gotta go play.

839
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: It's just like Dean's kids, Deon being the dad. You

840
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: don't necessarily mean they're gonna get drafted in the first

841
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: round either. You know God, you know God will and

842
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: everything work. I'll find from But ain't no guarantees and

843
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: that stuff. People, It hurt, stuff happens, you feel what

844
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like, at the end of the day, man,

845
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: we all we come in this world by ourselves, and

846
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave his motherfucker by ourselfs So we gotta

847
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: stop being so dependent on the next man, whether they black, white, brown, red,

848
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: or whatever. They need to do their thing. You know,

849
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: I see all these people writing articles and I say, man, wow,

850
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: coaches lead programs every day. I've never seen nothing get

00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,120

855
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: this is what I believe. I think the man. I

856
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's a messed up dude. I've actually talked

857
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: to Diane before. Dean is one of the coolest people

858
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't ever talked to. He's a real person. He

860
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: I didn't like all of these people talking ship behind him.

861
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: When Dean was down there, he was kind of like

862
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: the going to the conference. I saw the most unprofessional ship. Ef.

863
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: You had another black man to play the NFL that

864
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: coached one other teams. Dion went out there whooped his ass. Right.

865
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: He didn't want to shake the man's hand, first of all,

866
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: but we're playing sports, man. Sports always has to be

867
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: about carry. Not to sound like the old fogy, but

00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: it's certain stuff you don't do in the football field. Eight.

869
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: When we was young, you did not shake your opponents here,

870
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: no matter what happened, whether you beat their ass eighties

871
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: something nothing, whether they booked your ass adie something that

00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: you shook hands, you walked across the fields, you played

873
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: the game was honoring class, especially you were head coach.

874
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: I could see kids being mad at not shaking the

00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: enemy's hand like fun, that we're not going out there

00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: him like ship when he was down there. That was disrespectful.

879
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: That coach let his kids disrespect Dion comes out of

880
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: what the hell is punk? As you know. I mean,

881
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,200

887
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: can't point the finger at one thing and not call

888
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: the other stuff out it. It's like even when Jerry

00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: Jones gave that whole backhanded ass comment. You know how

890
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,840

00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: why are you harut asked me about Jerry Jones being

892
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: the picture with all the races, right, he's saying it's

893
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: something like he made sure to say what Lebron has

894
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: made the most opportunities and made a lot of money.

895
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: People have made a lot of money with me too.

896
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: First of all, man, you're not giving nobody nothing For

897
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: every million dollars you don't spend on a football player,

898
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 1: you don't probably made five a team, So knock it off.

899
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: It's a business, you feel what I'm saying. A business. See,

900
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you all something. The whole business of

901
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: football is designed for to win games. Right. In the NFL,

902
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: it's about money. That's why you have guys um that

903
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: may have certain stipulations in their contract, like if they

904
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,479
Speaker 1: get voted into the Pro Bowl. If you get voted

905
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: into the Pro Bowl, they gotta give you a bonus, right,

906
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: Or if you if you were a starter for so

907
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: many players, they gotta give you a bonus. I guarantee you, man,

908
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: you ask any players don't play in the NFL, they

909
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: would tell you when they're close to getting that bonus.

910
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: A coach with mysterious they put their ass on the

911
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: bench because these owners do not want to pay out

912
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: that bonus. They may say, hey, man, such a section.

913
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: If you know, if this motherfucker played five more plays,

914
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: we gotta pay his ass two million dollars. They were

915
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: six year ass down with the quickness or have a

916
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: doctor tell you that you asked that you heard of

917
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: some bullshit like that. You see what I'm saying. It's

918
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: a fucked up business, dog, so you gotta treat it accordingly.

919
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: Now that don't mean you go out there and disrespect people,

920
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: but you have to go out there with it in

921
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: mind that it ails a business. So any and everything

922
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: what happened, See, this is my prediction with college football anyway.

923
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: Eight It's always the key is to Peter Price right.

924
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: That's why they slowly changed the transfer route because they

925
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: would tell kids like, how do you gonna tell a

926
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: kid he can't transfer somewhere and you're living? Coaches great

927
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: contracts and league left them right. I don't understand this

928
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: era because of my day. They' you remember this when

929
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: you signed a recording contract of motherfucker's obligated to give

930
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: you this in that contract. It didn't like that the

931
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: football football was only I couldn't put out a motherfucking

932
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: record and then go, oh yeah, I didn't promote my

933
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: record good enough. So I'm about to hit the motherfucking

934
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: label portal and hey, hey, every other label, I'm free now. No,

935
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: he once, once I signed a contract, I had to

936
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: give the motherfucker a certain amount of records, and I

937
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: was locked in for a certain amount of years. Exactly

938
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: they made it. They make it down to where if

939
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: motherfucker could fit in. And let's look, a lot of

940
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: the ship is for exposure and for the bread now,

941
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: because let's face it, if if, if I'm a hot

942
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: nigger at one place, right, but we're mediocre, but I'm hot, right,

943
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 1: I could jump in this motherfucking portal, man, and now

944
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: a motherfucker where I couldn't where I originally, where I

945
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: couldn't go, Nigga could snatch me up. Now you feel me.

946
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: He has got to be careful in that portal, bro,

947
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: because they say something like I think is something I

948
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: could be wrong. I wanted to be throwing numbers around,

949
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: but a good percentage of those kids that go in

950
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: the portal don't get picked up by other kids. And

951
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the other thing I don't like

952
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: about the portal is the fact that it takes away

953
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: from the high school recruise. Yes, it does. You see,

954
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: football has to be a game. High school was the

955
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: life force of college football. Right if we start cutting

956
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: that to where a coach say, but man, should I

957
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: ain't gonna go get Why why might we go sign

958
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 1: Karan from I here when I can get a dude

959
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 1: that don't play even if he didn't play that much. Hell,

960
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: he was on He was on Alabama's um played the

961
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: special teams in Alabama for two years. I'm gonna bring

962
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: them in. What it what it turns into? Bro? The

963
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: game is slowly turning into a pro game. But the

964
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: only kids people not benefited from it as the kids.

965
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: The coaches making millions of dollars. The schools are making

966
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: millions of dollars, right, everybody except the kids. Now they're

967
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: giving these kids these looking in a lot of things,

968
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: but the school they're not getting them the money from

969
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: the TV stuff that they are free to get sponsors

970
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: for people if they wanted. Somebody decided to come in

971
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: and get christ and hundred dollars that year, he could

972
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: take it, right, But he wasn't getting under that TV

973
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: money and none observes the winning and that other stuff.

974
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: But I do eaty body they needed in the IL.

975
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: Just start breaking these kids off and leting them participate

976
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: in the thing because they come into the same ship

977
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: professional athletes doing. Now. Hell, they can cut a kid

978
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: in college football now, which is what was crazy to me,

979
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: because one thing I always understood about college football, and

980
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 1: I tell everybody that from my kid on the yours

981
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: and everybody else line, when you start playing, you are

982
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: not guaranteed a starting job. When you go Twitter university.

983
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: You have to go earn that motherfucker. You gotta go

984
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: take a motherfucker's ship. And please believe, no matter how

985
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: well you play that year, they're bringing in somebody the

986
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: next year to replace your ass, and they're bringing somebody

987
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: in a year after place that guy. Right. I'm fine

988
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: with that. But this whole thing about coaches going to

989
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: schools and sign the contracts and making a commitment to

990
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: be somewhere, my thing is this, If you sign a contracts,

991
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: if you go be somewhere for three years, you need

992
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: to honor your motherfucking contract and stay your ask there.

993
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: You should have to stay there because you made your

994
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: decision to go because you were impacting other people's lives,

995
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: not just your own. You got kids, that's coming over there.

996
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: So I walked there. I go on the road to

997
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: all season. I go visit your house. I go visit

1003
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,919
Speaker 1: kids are very impressible. That's why I'd never have asked

1004
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: admitted to coach the team. That's why I ain't coached

1005
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: the last few years eight because I couldn't commit to

1006

00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: got one person pulling in this way another person. And

1033
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: you gotta think about it, bro, all of these schools

Speaker 1: Man with me for him, no matter how bad to get.

1048
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: What I don't want to have happened is that he

1049
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: goes to and have a disaster of a season, because see,

1050
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: we can't afford the funk up he when we do

1051
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: something wrong. We've not looked at as individuals. They put

1052
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: it on the whole black race because I know in

1053
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: the back of their mind. And then they said this

1054
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: for the longest, like they say, we couldn't play quarterback,

1055
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,479
Speaker 1: or they're not smart enough to play quarterback. They can't

1056
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: throw the ball, they're not intelligent enough um, all they

1057
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: can do is run. We proved that wrong. They said

1058
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: we can't coach football. We proved that wrong. There are

1059
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: a number of different now there. I don't know if

1060
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: we ever have a black owner in the NFL. Hopefully

1061
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: that happens one day. But as long as we got

1062
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: the system of the way it is, man, it's a

1063
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,439
Speaker 1: need to repair. Because I'm gonna tell you what's about

1064
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: to happen. Eight. You got these springing leagues like the

1065
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: usf L and the XFL, And what people are not

1066
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: paying attention to. The XFL is putting their thing that

1067
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: open to people out of high school and college. So

1068
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. And the XFL paying for

1069
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: people to go to school. They're leting you do on

1070
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: school online. So if you didn't finish your degree or

1071
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: need to go, you know, get your degree, they're paying

1072
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: for that, even if you're not there, No more right,

1073
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: they're paying for that. So you think about it. If

1074
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: you're a high school kid that ain't really feeling a

1075
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: traditional school like that, no more right. It's just some kids,

1076
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: that's it's students, but they just don't like school. They

1077
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: don't like going to sit in the class for nine hours.

1078
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: They're going there to play football, right, So you think

1079
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: about it. If you're running back, Let's say you're running

1080
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,959
Speaker 1: back from Domingus and your family not really doing cool

1081
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: cook cool because the only people with that in their

1082
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: lives ship making money is quarterbacks and offensive players, right them.

1083
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: The dude is making big money. If you're a corner,

1084
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: you can make sixty fifty dollars, you're doing great, but

1085
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: you're not going They're not gonn getting them a million

1086
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: dollar deals like these other kids don't got right, you know,

1087
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: like to do the sc already a million there, dude,

1088
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: Bryce said, Alabama already a millionaire. But those positions that

1089
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: they can demand that type of money, right, you have

1090
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: to be realistic by it. Me myself, if I'm the

1091
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: number one running back coming out of high school and

1092
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't like school, I barely made it up, that motherfucker.

1093
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm considering going to the XFL and playing the spring

1094
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: because the thing is, there's the ticker to it, right.

1095
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to go to college to get traffic

1096
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: in NFL. Now, the whole keep the NFL. Now, if

1097
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: you're an n C double A player, that's the way

1098
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: it works, right. If you're n C double a player, right,

1099
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: you have to go to school for at least three seasons. Right,

1100
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: You're not making no money during that time. You gotta

1101
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: do this and do that. And you could go there

1102
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: and get fucked over. You can have your coach puts

1103
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: you when the bench talk bad about you when you

1104
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: don't get traffic. Right. But if you're a guy comes

1105
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: out of high school, I think the XFAIL top off

1106
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: of maybe seventy, which ain't no bad money for playing

1107
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: fucking ten games of football. You know you're making seventy

1108
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: racks and held the or the backs in there making

1109
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: half a million dollars. You know, the quarterbacks always make money.

1110
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm like. Damn they get ten times like

1111
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: wave more money than the regular you know players, right,

1112
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: But the quarterback is the man and the team. Right,

1113
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking like this, like you're looking at J. T.

1114
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: Daniels that came out of Mother Day. You know he

1115
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: got hurt of s C and him been a couple

1116
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: of bad situations, right, he would have damned they have

1117
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: been best to come out of high school and play

1118
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 1: in the XFL for three years, right, even if he

1119
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't have played his first year and set the bench

1120
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: ball for two years and been eligible for the draft.

1121
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: They draft him out to XFL and say, hey, he

1122
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: don't you're gonna start seeing that in a few years.

1123
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: Watch to see because it's almost getting the weare. It

1124
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: don't make no sense to go play college football. There's

1125
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: too much sip they can happen. First of all, the

1126
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: motherfucker this dare Go probably not be there no more.

1127
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: You probably have two or three coordinators so a year,

1128
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: and that's very important. There's two there's two positions on

1129
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: the team, actually three positions on the team that that

1130
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: impact you. If you're a quarterback, if you're a right

1131
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: receiver and you're a dB, if they bringing motherfucker's and

1132
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: it has changing up the program off day. Let's say

1133
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: you're a press man corner, right, you get a coach

1134
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: that that wants you to do some whole other ship, right,

1135
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: That fucks your game up, right, It limits your game

1136
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: because you're not doing what you excel at. Right. Let's

1137
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: say you're a wide receiver and the motherfucker come in

1138
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: you want to run a ball seveny times a game.

1139
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: That's gonna piss you off, right. The thing is, it's

1140
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: not a bad move to go play in the XFL.

1141
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: If you are a high school football player, you're going

1142
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: there and get your degree. You played for three years. Hell,

1143
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: the NFL probably like you even more because guess who

1144
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: plays in the XFL former NFL players. Everybody in that

1145
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: motherfucker's been in the league, some of them kids for

1146
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: former first round trafficks. So if you go out there

1147
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: ball against them for a long time, hell, you're gonna

1148
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: be ready. You're gonna be more prepared for the game,

1149
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: and you will be playing in college. Think about it.

1150
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: The game to turn to pro this and only people

1151
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 1: not benefit as the kids. Dog, That's all I'm saying.

1152
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: You just got to watch out man with this ship.

1153
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: I just, you know, like you said best the Dion

1154
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: in his situation. I hope people are able to uh

1155
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: get over you know, the fact that you know, uh

1156
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: that he uh took the job at Colorado. You know

1157
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: some people who wanted him to stay. I get it.

Speaker 1: You know, I got a lot of you know, people

1159
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: upset about it, and a lot of people say, hey,

1160
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. So it's just

1161
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell you like this and we leave

1176
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: like that, you usually don't have a will. So it's

1177
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of interesting to see how that's gonna play out,

1178

1183
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: you know how that is. You got managers out there.

1184
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:58,120

1186
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, once you're sitting that deposit, that money ain't

1191
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: forget the money, man. The saddest part about that whole

1192
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: situation is that that kid adn't even got a chance

1193
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: to live his life. Man, he wasn't even thirty years old.

1194

1196
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,600

1197
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: money don't mean he gotta live. Hell, I don't think

1198

Speaker 1: I really became a man, dogs, will I was thirty

1199
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: years old. Don't get me wrong. I was a man,

1200
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: but I was immature the motherfucker right. Well, you feel me,

1203
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the way around, bro right and you know, you've got

1204
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: another dynamic in this now because they said that the

1205
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: guy that allegedly shot him, everybody is in shock because

1206

1209
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: nicest dude in the world, and all it takes for

1210
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: motherfucker's to say one thing to set somebody off door.

1211
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: The next thing, you know, you do something you regret

01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: that you can't take back. Right and be out there

1213
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: on that road, man, you be you. You keep your

1214
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: head up and watch the motherfucker's got there. You're not

1215
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: saying about me? Is is I've come to a time where,

1216
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of situations like that I tend

1217
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: to avoid, you know, um, sometimes being young, sometimes being

1218
01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, you know popular, you know, having angs or whatever,

1219
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: you have the attitude sometimes of you know, invincible, you

1220
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: know um, And especially when you're in a position to

1221
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: where you don't have beef with a lot of motherfucker's.

1222
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: You you like, you know, I'm cool with everybody mentality,

1223
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: But like I try to tell motherfucker's you can be

1224
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: that person. But it don't mean the people you around are,

1225
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, And it's unfortunate. Like I used to tell niggas, um,

1226
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, when I used to travel and take ten

1227
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: fifteen niggas with me and ship like that, I would

1228
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: be the most humblest nigger on the planet. Cool with you, yeah,

1229
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, disagreements we can settle like men, talk it

1230
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: out whatever. I can't control the other fourteen niggers in

1231
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the pack. You get me, and I might know a

1232
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: few of those that I could talk to, but you

1233
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: can't control everybody that's roaming with the crew. You feel

1234
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: me with that cruise ship dog, I learned the horrid way.

1235
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: I did that one time, taking motherfucker's what your dog?

1236
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: After that it was just me and my DJ though.

1237
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just unfortunately, you know, because everybody is

1238
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: their own man at you know, I'm saying, you know,

1239
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk. I'm my own man, whether

1240
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: it's me and you or it's me and fifty niggers,

1241
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm my own man. And it comes to a point

1242
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: to where you can't tell me what the fund to do.

1243
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: And if if I'm that type of motherfucker, if I

1244
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting off, I'm get off. I don't

1245
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: give a funk who it is. I don't care. You

1246
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: get me. You could be my best ace coom boom

1247
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: in the world, but you can't tell me ship. I'm

1249
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: and I don't care about the situation of who it is,

1250
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: or who it might be, or who might catch or whatever.

1251
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm my own motherfucker. You know that, just like I

1252
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: know it. So you just got to know your surrounders

1253

1254
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,960

1255
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: to fill I know that nigga, that nigga, then maybe

1256
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,479

01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: you can't control everybody, you can't control them. I don't
