4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: Best Fridays in Football starts right now, sat now for

Speaker 1: and Coach of Amira, of course, has been on with

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: us since the beginning. I were looking forward to it

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: this season as time allows us. Uh and coach hello,

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: first of all, and secondly, just to set the ground rules.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: This podcast was never meant to be a post game

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: discourse or an interview for breast goal or whatever it's

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: or even a personnel evaluation, which I could do anyway.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: But we're talking ball, We're talking celebrating the game to

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: people and what have you. And UH, so we'll have

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: a few questions, and we have a few people who

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: have written some questions. If that's all right with you,

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: we'll proceed. Sure, great to be with you, to great

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: to be with your coach. I'll ask a few questions

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: along the way, like how do you keep a young

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: player's confidence up when he's not having success? And is

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: there a certain way you do that? Or do you

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: do it I feel or I know you've been very

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: successful with quarterbacks and Bible series, what have you. What's

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: your technique on that? Yeah, the quarterback is such a

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: unique position that I've always tried to play. But after

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: they were ready, then before they're ready. But we believe

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: Trevor is ready. Trevor made a couple throws he would

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: like to add back, but other than that, he played decent. Uh.

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, And I've always looked at the one common

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: characteristic of a quarterback plays a great game. Everybody around

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: it plays a great game, and when a quarterback struggles,

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: it's usually not the quarterback. It's a group effort. So

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: we certainly had a group effort. We had got behind

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: the sticks a little bit with some penalties, and then

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: I go back to scores fourteen and seven. We're driving

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: a ball down the field and we get a fifteen

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: or a thirteen yard run and the flag comes out

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: of the back end of the defense. You know, the

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: back judge called the holding on our center, and it

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: just kind of threw us for a loop and then

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: got us behind the chains. And because we want to

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: establish the run a little bit with the young quarterback,

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: and we're unable to do it. So to ask your question, um,

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: experience and success is the only way to get confidence.

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: And you've got a little subject there. I know you

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: said you would like to run the ball more, and

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of figuring the whole thing out. But I

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: think one of the qualities or quarterback you and I

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: talk about your's just fearlessness. All these young quarterbacks that

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: got in the NFL are credible, I mean, and Trevor

51
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: is right there among them, uh, if not the best, uh.

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: And the ability to go back, stand in there and

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: get that job done, delivered the ball in time, get

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: it to the receivers that were underneather. It's a lot

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: of processing going on in the young man's head. How

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: is your quarterback house, Trevor doing on that couch so far? Well, Trevor,

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: are like a lot of college quarterbacks that came out

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: of the spread system a lot of time, never really

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: even called a huddle. A lot of times the players

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: are signaled from the sideline, and he managed his game

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: and distributes the ball, you know, in the NFL offense,

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do spread and NFL style, But he

63
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: calls a plane huddle he's got to know what other

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: ten guys are doing, and he's gotta you know, we're

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: playing Alabama every week. You know, you don't have a

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: talent advantage like we had an Ohio State or like

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: he had a Clemson. So it's a challenge. I mean

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: every week, you know your chin strap, man, it's gonna

69
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: be like this every week. Yeah. So, by the way,

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: here's my first question to you. How do you like

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: the NFL so far? Oh, they're getting your ass kicked

72
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: in the first game. It's I love it. I love

73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: our team. I really believe. I believe in these guys.

74
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I believe in the way they worked. Um, I know

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know, you know I made a comment.

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: This isn't a four or five year, six year plan.

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: It's a one year plan. We went to these players

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: and what's that means. That means we're gonna try to

79
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: play and the best we possibly can. And we're on

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: one now with our job is not to become on two.

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: So it's O j T on the job, training and

82
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: learning as should go and clean up the mistakes. I've

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: known you alone time. I know you don't have a

84
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: lot of tolerance for making the same mistake over and

85
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: over again. And I though you also like to fix things.

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say you fidget, but you get in there

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: and get your hands in. You have to get things fixed,

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: and you've been very successful. Is that different now, No,

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: it's still in my mind, it's exactly the same. The

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: difference is you have a little bit of a wide

91
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: range of ages. You've got a twenty one year old

92
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: quarterback or twenty two year quarterback, and you have a

93
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: thirty year old often you know some linement and are

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: a little older, and a thirty one year old wide receiver.

95
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: So you just you know. The amount of repetitions, buddy,

96
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: is a lot different in the NFL than it is

97
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: in college. You don't get to practice when we have

98
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: Pascale or seven on seven. You don't get your thirty

99
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: five reps. You get twelve. You know it's gonna be

100
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: you gotta be very judicious about what you're practicing. You

101
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: don't have ninety guys or a hundred guys on the

102
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: sidelines that you're scout teaming. Your actual defense is your

103
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: scout team during the week in practice. So that's the

104
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: biggest difference. How do you get a young quarterback with

105
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: such a few reps, how the abouts, the frustration of

106
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: not getting it as fast as you'd like to get it,

107
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: and also seeing a young quarterback grow and develop, which

108
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: I know was going to be rewarded the long run.

109
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: You have to temper both of them, don't you. Yeah. Well,

110
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean we've all been around long enough to understand that.

111
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: That the whole game of football and really athletics in general.

112
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: It's a process of how you learn how to win

113
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: win and doesn't take place. You know, we we've had

114
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: great success, a lot of quick turnarounds, but you know,

115
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: it takes a minute. Now, it takes a minute for

116
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page. It takes a minute for um,

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: everybody learned the quarterback and learn. You know, we brought

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: a new offense, new defense, We signed several new players,

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: so we're still figuring this thing out. I'll come about

120
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: these new quarterbacks. I mean you talk about I know

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: you don't coach on the whole years co jurors, but

122
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: Trevor's and a class THEO with guys like Mac Jones

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: phenomenal success early. But of course New England didn't win

124
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: that game. Uh got Zack Wilson you've got trigged lass.

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: These guys are coming right in and playing. That's different

126
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: urban in the NFL. You grew up with an idea.

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: You came and you sat. You don't have to sit anywhere,

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: do you. Yeah. I don't know how many have actually

129
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: done it, though, buddy, I think this year was a

130
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: very rare year. You know, I think they have four guys. Well,

131
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: you have Mac, you have Zack Wilson, uh, and you

132
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: have Trevor starters, and then you have Trey Lance and

133
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I believe they're back ups, but they're playing

134
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: so um. You know. I I don't know the history

135
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: that well, but I think that three starters, day one starters,

136
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: that's a little unusual, very unusual. Uh, anybody coming up,

137
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: any teams rising up early that you're looking at that,

138
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe you're surprised about it. It's too early to make

139
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: any declarations now, understand that. But Uh, some teams look

140
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: like they're better than we expected after one game of summer.

141
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Not in your divisioned, Uh, you've got a few that

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: are interesting. Can you talk about what you see there? Yeah, buddy,

143
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm such a focus you know, I never broncos that's it.

144
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: And all our focuses on them. And I'll tell you

145
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: the other thing is just the roster management. You have

146
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: to give full attention to that. You have fifty three players.

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, you bring guys in. We you know, brought

148
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: in a couple of receivers that we're trying to get

149
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: them ready, and then you on game day you have

150
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: to announce five guys that aren't playing. So you get

151
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: down and that's I mean that you talk about full

152
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: attention to because now all your special teams are involved

153
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: your offense. What kind of style do you need an

154
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: extra D lineman? So my focus, you know, it's always

155
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: I loved you know, offense and special teams, but a

156
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: lot of it is in the roster management. You have

157
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: a background in Colorado, you were a coach. You can

158
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: come out of statement. The broncoster out there. I don't

159
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: know how much you interactive with them, you know how

160
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: what their programs like. And I can see Jacksonville biggest

161
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: city like Denver one day where that the team is

162
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: so popular, what you can do with U Do you

163
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: agree with that? That's why I came here. I love

164
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and I think football is very very important here.

165
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: I know that as a fact, a lot of Gator

166
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: fans here, seminal fans and high school football is tremendous,

167
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: and it's an opportunity to go grow something that's a

168
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: build you know, that's that's that's what this place is.

169
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: And every time I walk out in that beautiful stadium,

170
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: you have this vision of packing that thing, and like

171
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: you said, it becomes a destination place and and and

172
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: the future looks really interesting with the facility. When I

173
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: have you, I know, I know you're as you say,

174
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: you're really focused on the next game, as you always are.

175
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: But the place itself and the new facility that Shad

176
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: Coin's gonna build in the city, once you get over

177
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: that hump, that would be a chance to get everybody

178
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: involved in that community, and it would be a dynamic

179
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: thing if it happened. That's gonna happen, buddy. Uh So,

180
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: you've got our commitment. We're gonna make this happen. We've

181
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: got the young quarterback, We're gonna get them ready. We're

182
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna continue to build a team around him and and

183
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: do the best we can. All right, So let me

184
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: just get to a couple of things and then I'm

185
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna get questions from our listeners. By the way, if

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: you ever like to try to get your question on

187
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: the show, you can write ask Urban and send it

188
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,920

190
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: let'sn't make the cut, and we'll address your situations and

191
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: talk about the thing. I'm gonna take you off script

192
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: for a second because I remember the day that I

193
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: was at Lake Melrose, who you were working in a book,

194
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: and I remember our second day in and I remember

195
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: that we were sitting there, uh in a dark five

196
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: forty five six o'clock in the morning, and you looked

197
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: up and saw the sunrise and you stopped, and I

198
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: was so because we've been grinding, and I'm thinking Urban

199
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: is focused on something else here. And for about five

200
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: minutes you talked about going out in the boat with

201
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: your son and you you having your coffee and the

202
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: asses is cereal, and you sit there and watch the

203
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: sun come up on and that's when I began to

204
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: get a feeling of your soul, you know, and which

205
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I loved. And so I'm gonna ask you the question,

206
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: have you seen any good sunsets. Have you talked to

207
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: any old friends, have heard a good song? Well, have

208
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: you done nine football recently? That comes to mind. Well,

209
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: the grandfather world has taken over our lives. So we

210
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: flow and flew them down for our first hone game

211
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: in preseason, and Shelley's up there. She flies back today, actually,

212
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: but she's up there. And I mean, buddy, I've always

213
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: heard the story that it's great. It's better than great. That's,

214
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, other than my professional life. I think you

215
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: know me. I don't do a whole lot. I do

216
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: three wonderful kids that are all killing it doing great.

217
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: A daughter that owns her own company, a daughter that

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: there is the president of a company, and my son's

219
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: a four point old students. So we hit the hit

220
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: a home run with their kids, and then two beautiful

221
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: grandsons be very blast. All right, let's get with the questions.

222
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: It's real quick. Take you back to your previous life,

223
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: and let's talk about all of a sudden things are

224
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: different out of the USC so quickly in the season

225
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: the job's opened. There was a time when your name

226
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: came up for every job that was there. But that

227
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: was a bit, and that was quick and this college

228
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: football world is pretty violentil as you remember, and then

229
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: that one was coming for a while, but now there's

230
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna be others. People don't have much Feller, it's anymore.

231
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: No people have asked me the question the difference between

232
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: NFL and college and schematically, it's never been closer. And

233
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: I really think just the way the profession, coaching professions treated,

234
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: the way the players are treated, certainly at the high

235
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: level programs, I mean players are now. I mean there's

236
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: a players at a high staking over a million dollars

237
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: to play college football and the one guy hasn't played

238
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: a snap yet. Um, you have a choice to leave.

239
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: That's one thing different than a professional pro football. You

240
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: can't have a choice to leave. But the transfer portal.

241
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: It's a much different game than uh, than it was

242
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: just five years ago. And we're going to see how

243
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: this thing continues in the in the world of college

244
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: sports for sure. All right, real quickly, ask Urban here

245
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: are the questions, Jake again, write me at Buddy Mark

246
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: show Amon dot com for your question. What's the most

247
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: exciting part of your job, asked Sam from Crescent Beach.

248
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: The most exciting job is here to see organization built

249
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, And that's I've talked to you about this

250
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: before that I've been lucky. I've walked into four opportunities

251
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: where it really Bowling Green was a complete rebuild, you know.

252
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: Utah was one that needed to be cleaned up, and

253
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Florida and then Ohio State we lost seven games and

254
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: you walk in there and and get it going. So,

255
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, as I reflect on my life in my career,

256
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed that. I especially a great place like this.

257
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: It's a great place. You've got great ownership and building

258
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: blocks are in place, Uh, and building is what it's

259
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: all about, all right, You this one had to come. Uh.

260
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Do you ever look at film to evaluate college football

261
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: players this early? And have you seen Anthony Richardson? I

262
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: saw him live. I went to the game and sat

263
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: with Scott Strickland and the old boat coach, the headboat coach,

264
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier, and hung out with him. Um and Scott

265
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: told me all about him, and Dan said something to

266
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: me a while back about him, and then I got

267
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: to see him live and you know, just he's a big,

268
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: freakish looking athlete. I was actually working out today. On on

269
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: on t V, they out someone's highlights. You know, he's

270
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: a highlight show waiting to happen, is he ever? I'm

271
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: the most extending young quarterback i've seen it. Florida's a freshman,

272
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that turns out. And the fans

273
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: are already clamoring for him. You know about that, right? Okay,

274
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: here's from uh here's a guy from the series from Birmingham.

275
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: Please ask Coach Fire about his remembers of playing Nick

276
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: Saban in Alabama. I don't know which time you played him.

277
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: A bunch of is anything you red called? Yeah, it's

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: a well coached team. And one thing I remember the

279
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: first time we played them in OH eight I believe

280
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: oh eight SEC Championship. I talked to some people that

281
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: coached against him, and it was especially in the throw

282
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: game because that's his baby. You know, you have to

283
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: do like if you run a curl, make it a

284
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: curl and go. Run a slant, make it a slant

285
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: and go, because it's gonna be so well coached on

286
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: the on your base offense. So if you remember that game,

287
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: we did a couple of double cuts. You know, we

288
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: did some things that were unusual and we we won

289
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: that one. We lost the second one, and then the

290
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: most recent one we got him at in the Sugar

291
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Bowl when I was at Ohio State. So every game

292
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: we've ever had, I think they'd be as good one time,

293
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: but we've had some street fights for those guys. We

294
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: talked about that two thousand and eight SEC championship game,

295
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: one of the greatest games I've ever seen, and you

296
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: did that without Percy Harvin. I might add, okay, here's

297
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the final one. Uh. Magellan from Vellano Beach says, once

298
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: you won a Super Bowl, he's got you one of

299
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl A right. How about you and Steve

300
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Spury are opening a restaurants and sports bar and say

301
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Augusty and call Sperbs. I guess spur and Sperbs. Okay,

302
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I gotta get approved by Steve. We do that. We'll

303
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: do it. We'll do it if we win one here,

304
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: will do that. I'm not sure the name of every

305
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,000
