We'll talk about 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: that matchup. Baseball is locked out its players for the 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety and it looks like Notre 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: Dame is going to promote the defensive coordinator, Marcus Freeman 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: to head coach. Notre Dame is expected to make that 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: promotion coming up here in the next couple of days. 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: After Brian Kelly left for LSU. Yesterday, when Brian Kelly 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: was with us in the second hour of the program, 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: I asked him about is he going to take assistance 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: to LSU? Yeah, you know, so you know, we're going 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: to hire the best coaches, right you know, I had 23 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: great coaches at Notre Dame. We can hire great coaches 24 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: here at LSU. So you know, they're employed right now 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. And you know, certainly we have to 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: be sensitive to that fact. Other guys that I would 27 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: I love to ask some of those guys join me here, absolutely, 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: but we have to go through the right process, and 29 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: you know that's that's going to be a food situation. 30 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: Freeman is not a big name, he's never been a 31 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: head coach, but there's a lot of positives. He was 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: an assistant at Cincinnati, they grew into a mid major 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: conference power. The Irish defense has been great this year. 34 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: And then maybe the biggest benefit for Freeman is emotional. 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: When Kelly left, there was a lot of hard feelings. 36 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: Fans across the country were mad, but it seems like 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: the team itself is rallying around Freeman and Tommy Reese, 38 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Freeman's only thirty five. Now that could 39 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: be viewed as a negative. Lincoln Riley went from his 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: position of offensive coordinator at Oklahoma to head coach at 41 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: thirty three. Pat Fitzgerald, linebacker coach at Northwestern to head 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: coach at thirty one. P J. Fleck, when he took 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: over as head coach at Western Michigan, was thirty two. 44 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: He was thirty six when he got to Minnesota. Matt 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: Campbell took over Toledo at thirty two, went on to 46 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: coach Iowa State at thirty six. This is different. This 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: is different from all of those programs. You're running a 48 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: national brand now, and you know, the higher up you get, 49 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: the less coaching you do. There's so much that goes 50 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: into being a head coach. You've got to manage everybody. Now. 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: As a defensive coordinator, you walk in and you see 52 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: your guys, that's what you have to worry about. Now, 53 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: you got to worry about the offense, and then the 54 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: special teams, and then the media, and then the booster, 55 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: and then everybody else, the chancellor, the president. There's so 56 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: much more. And that's why I've said so many times 57 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: on this show, not everybody has cut out to be 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: a head coach because of everything that goes into being 59 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: a head coach. But we'll find out really soon how 60 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: good Marcus Freeman is going to be. Tommy Reese is 61 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Expectations at Notre Dame are high. They 62 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: should stay high. They have tough academic standards, they don't 63 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: get to play in a conference championship game, but they 64 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: do have the standalone name recognition, your own TV network, 65 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: and there still is that magic of Notre Dame. There 66 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: are a lot of things going on last night. Some 67 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: of it I can tell you about, some of it 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: I cannot, But I do know that LSU and Brian 69 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: Kelly wanted Tommy Reese, wanted him to be their offensive coordinator. 70 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: So Tommy Reese was the former Notre Dame quarterback and 71 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: he's I think twenty nine years of age and is 72 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: really highly thought of. So Tommy Reese is probably looking 73 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: at this situation going do I go to LSU with 74 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly? Can I stay here? But if Luke Fickle 75 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: comes in, then he's going to bring in his own people. 76 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: And it almost felt like Tommy Reese was the most 77 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: important chip here because if he leaves, do they promote 78 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman? Was it a package deal? And that's what 79 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I was told last night. This was a package deal 80 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: that if Tommy Reese was staying now they felt the 81 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: continuity was there. You have your defensive coordinator who's now 82 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: being elevated to head coach. You keep your offensive coordinator, 83 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: and you feel really good about it. They're combined ages. 84 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't think total Brian Kelly's, or at least it's 85 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: pretty close to it. Maybe two years older. He's sixty. 86 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: You got thirty five and twenty nine, PAULI do the 87 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: math for me, okay, But you know, it just feels 88 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: like if if Notre Dame got this right, they got it, 89 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: that they hit a home run. But you know, here's 90 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: the other thing to factor. Notre Dame doesn't change. They're 91 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: still going to be the same hurdles there for Marcus 92 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Freeman and Tommy Reese. Like these are institutional hurdles that 93 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: are going to be there. And I go back to 94 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: what Brian Kelly was basically saying to his players on 95 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Monday morning, I'm leaving because I can't win a championship 96 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: with you. Now he can't say that, but I think 97 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: that Tommy Reese staying probably made it a lot easier 98 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: to bring in or you know, elevate Marcus Freeman and 99 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: make it a package deal. And I think that by 100 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: all accounts, they're hitting a home run. But then so 101 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: is LSU. LSU was backed into a corner because they 102 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: thought they had Lincoln Riley, and then they threw a 103 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: hail Mary and it landed at South Bend. USC got lucky. 104 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: Who would have thought Lincoln Riley And now we got 105 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: to find out if Oklahoma couldn't hit a home run. 106 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: But some of the things going on behind the scenes 107 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: last night fascinating, and it was happening in real time. 108 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with Paulie a couple of times. 109 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: You call me six times? Did I kept? I said, 110 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: all right, you did the non goodbye. I just hear proof, Yeah, 111 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: I know, I go, I gotta go. And then one 112 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: time I didn't even say I gotta go. I just clicked. 113 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to make sure that we 114 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: were following it correctly, getting the right information there, talking 115 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: to the right people. But it was fascinating last night 116 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: what was going on in real time, and you were 117 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: trying to figure out. And then Tommy Reese gets in 118 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: front of the team and says, hey, this is where 119 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: I want to be. I love you guys, and then 120 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: posted the video and all of a sudden, it was 121 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: like boom ballgame. Tommy Rees Stang. Marcus Freeman is going 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: to get the head coaching job. Nothing's official yet. Nothing's 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: official yet. Sources close to me tell me that it's 124 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: a longer process for Marcus Freeman to be promoted to 125 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: being the head coach. Yes, Paul. Could the big winner 126 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: be Cincinnati football fans today, That's another possibility. I was 127 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: told last night that Notre Dame knew Luke Fickle was 128 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: not going to leave Cincinnati until they played in the 129 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: Final four. Now, I'll go back to a question I 130 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: asked Brian Kelly yesterday. I asked him, what if you 131 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: know what? I think the question is in there? Right, Satan, 132 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: here's Brian Kelly yesterday. Oh, okay, no wayman, hold on, 133 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: I thought the question was in there. What if Notre 134 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: Dame was ranked third in the college football playoffs? Oh? 135 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, Dan. You know those are those are 136 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: tough questions, you know, And I'm I'm pretty honest guy 137 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: and would would tell you, but those those are so 138 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: hard to, you know, to answer relative to what I 139 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: had done something different in that situation. And I really 140 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: couldn't tell you, to be honest with you, um, because 141 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: it's not the case. Um. But I really couldn't answer 142 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: that question. Fascinating. Luke Fickle is saying, now, I don't 143 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: know if he was offered the Notre Dame John, but 144 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: I do know somebody said that Luke is not going 145 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: to be available for a month because he feels like 146 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: he owes it to a Cincinnati you know players. Now, 147 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: if Cincinnati is eight, he might have been available. But 148 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: the fact that Ryan Kelly was saying, well, I can't 149 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: really say that. And what happens if after every the 150 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: dust settles this weekend and Notre Dame is somehow in 151 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: the final four and Cincinnati's not yikes? Right, good I 152 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: get to do over. Yeah, but but that's why this is. 153 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: This is fluid. I mean, it's crazy, but Notre Dame 154 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: could end up in the final four. Yes, it's funny that, 155 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, you said, Luke Fickel feels like he owes 156 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: his players something. You don't get the sense Brian Kelly 157 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: believes he owes anybody anything. No, no, not a thing. Nope, no, Look, 158 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: he made his decision. I know there's been uh, you 159 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: know Brady Quinn, who's going to join us tomorrow, former 160 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: Notre Dame quarterback. He was really upset about this. You know, 161 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: Peter King was really upset about this. Is anybody upset 162 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: that Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma exactly? And I like Lincoln 163 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: Riley and he made a really smart business decision in 164 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: my opinion, But nobody's. Nobody's upset. It's just you. You 165 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: look at Notre Dame and it's polarizing. Brian Kelly polarizing, 166 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: that's all this is. I mean, Brian Kelly did at 167 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: least meet with his team. I don't know if Lincoln 168 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Riley did. I think he just got on a plane 169 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: and he was in southern California. It took his coordinators 170 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: with him. Yes, Yeah, that's one of those if you 171 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: go into the building and all of a sudden you 172 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: see some guys carrying out stuff. You know, you're going. 173 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: Where are you guys going Southern California? What for forever? Oh? 174 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: You guys out recruiting out there? Oh god, what a 175 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: great business. Yeah, Polly, hey, coach, why are you leaving 176 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: all your winter coat and sweaters in the office and 177 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: take it off with the work show? Yeah? I did 178 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: hear some criticism of Riley that he's shot for not 179 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: wining to go to the SEC. That was one the 180 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: one thing, and I think we were all like, yeah, 181 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: I don't want to go there either. But here's Brian 182 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Kelly who wanted to go to the SEC. He didn't 183 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: get any credit for being tough for going to the SEC. 184 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: You know, they look at it this way. Lincoln Riley 185 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: took an easier route to win a national championship or 186 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: compete for one. So did Brian Kelly in different ways. 187 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: If you think about it, Brian Kelly had reached the 188 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: glass ceiling at Notre Dame. He doesn't worry about recruiting, 189 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: he doesn't worry about academic, he doesn't have to worry 190 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: about any of that. At LSU, he just has to coach. 191 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, you're not going to go to the SEC. 192 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: Don't have to worry about the competition there. You can 193 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: go to Southern California. You can stand alone in the 194 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: PAC twelve. You can be what Oklahoma was to the 195 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: Big twelve, and you can be that in the PAC twelve. 196 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: They took different routes, but they're really saying the same thing. 197 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: Bryan Kelly didn't think he could win a championship there, 198 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: and that's the one thing that's left out on his resume. 199 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing when somebody says you won 200 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: more games than anybody in the history of Notre Dame 201 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: and then but no national titles. So when somebody says, well, 202 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: the greatest coach in Notre Dame history, it's not gonna 203 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: be Brian Kelly. When they say the winningest, they're going 204 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: to talk about the regular season. Brian Kelly wants to 205 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: win a national championship. LSU was desperate. They paid the money, 206 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: that's all. But I don't know if there's any outrage 207 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: from anyone nationally. I know there is locally at Oklahoma, 208 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: but Lincoln Riley just left. It was how dare Brian 209 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Kelly do this? Just be fair to everybody, because you 210 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: know what, next year, somebody else is going to do 211 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: it and a year after that. So the outrage should 212 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: be even because they're doing the same thing at the 213 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: same you know, same level, to the same players. Polk 214 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: watch him. Mcleven, What do you have? I have a 215 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: bunch of college football options. Let's start with who had 216 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: the best week. USC getting Lincoln Riley, Alice, you getting 217 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, Cincinnati likely securing their final four spot and 218 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: keeping their coach and keeping their coach. Maybe Lincoln Riley 219 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: for going to USC, Brian Kelly for getting paid. Do 220 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: you put Marcus Freeman if he gets a job's pretty 221 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: good gig. Yeah, this had nice promotion for him. Then, huh, 222 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: he's thirty five. He hasn't been a head coach eleven 223 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: months ago. He's the defensive coordinator at Cincinnati. Now he 224 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: could be Notre Dame's head coach at thirty five. I 225 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: think he had the best week. If he gets the job, 226 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: he keeps his offensive coordinator, I think he probably you 227 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: knew Lincoln Riley was going to get a job, whether 228 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: it was NFL or some other plays. Brian Kelly had 229 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: feelers from everybody, including USC. Could you play USC as 230 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: having the best week? They're getting a lot of love 231 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: and had a great They had a great They may 232 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: win it. They had a great week. LSU had a 233 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: great week. Yeah, I'm the club. We also had a 234 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: Paul Paul had of course, what negative?

They're not as 252 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: much Paul National Park, National Sites thirty one. Maybe the 253 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: front row is not as smart. Seaton twelve hundred's there's 254 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty three nationals. Yes, this is closest 255 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: without going over.

Before we get to Paul Finebaum, Paulie, 271 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: you had a pull question for today college football related. 272 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: Who will most regret the past week? Luke Fickle if 273 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: he passed on the Notre Dame job Oklahoma for not 274 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: matching USC's offered to Lincoln Riley, or Brian Kelly for 275 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: leaving the comfy job that he had to go to 276 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: the SEC. I don't think Brian Kelly is going to 277 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: regret it. Oklahoma, Aby And I don't know if Luke 278 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: Fickle was going to be offered the job at Notre Dame. 279 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: I just know that somebody, a source said last night 280 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to be available for the next 281 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: month because he wanted to coach Cincinnati in the Final four. 282 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: ESPN's Paul feinbaumb joining us the voice of the SEC 283 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: and SEC Network beginning at three Eastern. Paul will be 284 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: on the SEC Nation Live Saturday at two Eastern on 285 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: SEC Network ahead of the SEC title game. Paul joins 286 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: us down. Can you remember a week of coaching changes 287 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: that rival this in recent memory? No, because there's never 288 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: been one like this, Dan, and I was thinking to myself, 289 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: it's Thursday, in the craziest week we've ever covered in 290 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: college football. What if after the game Saturday night, Nick 291 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: Saban announces he's retiring and Lane Kiffin takes his place. 292 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Who would that top everything else? Now you're not reporting that? No? No, please, okay, 293 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: that's just I was just I was just free associating. 294 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: Is there any is there any chess move left that 295 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: could obliterate uh, you know, a thirty five year old 296 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: taking over at Notre Dame. The two moves that we've 297 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: obsessed over since Monday and Sunday and Monday, and and 298 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: that's really about it. Beyond that, it's it's the craziest 299 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: week ever. Who had the best week? Lincoln Riley, Brian Kelly, 300 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, others. I think in some way, Southern cal 301 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: did with Lincoln Riley, because you know, they have this 302 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: goal plated program that has been dormant since Pete Carroll 303 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: and they have infused energy in a town that, as 304 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, needs needs buzz, needs sizzle, and he's done it. 305 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: I think he will recruit fabulously well out there. There's 306 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: some many great players that are everywhere from Alabama to 307 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: Old Missed to Oregon, and you can you can find 308 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: a million other ones in between. I think, you know, 309 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame is is a puzzle because so little is 310 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: known about Marcus Freeman and he hasn't been announced yet, 311 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: but he's likely will. They're just making sure that he 312 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: hasn't done anything on his resume like Georgio O'Leary twenty 313 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: years ago. That's the only reason I think they're still 314 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: waiting up there. And I don't I don't blame anyone 315 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: for taking your time. I think LSU did well. I 316 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: mean Brian. I talked to Ryan Kelly yesterday, as I 317 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: know you did, and he's the most relaxed sixty year 318 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: old in America. He just he he just cashed to 319 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: his four oh one k for one hundred million dollars 320 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: and gets introduced to Cajun food. Does he know what 321 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: he's getting himself into? I think on one level he does. 322 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he understands the lingo, and frankly, there's 323 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: no way you can. I've lived in Louisiana and it's 324 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: it's an incredible place, But the only guy who I 325 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: think ever really understood it is at Ozerd and he 326 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: just got fired, So I think you almost have to 327 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: throw that out. The Nick Saban looked lost eighteen years 328 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: ago when he parachuted in there from East Landing. Remember 329 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: the famous story, Dan. They sent the plane for his 330 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: staff and Saban's the only guy that got off. Nobody 331 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: else was leaving with him. Eventually a few more joined him. 332 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: But that's just the way it is. And I think 333 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: fit is overrated a little bit. As soon as you 334 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: can start winning, fans will love you. They don't care 335 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: who you are and where you're from. Yeah, you start 336 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: to figure this out and you look at it like 337 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: the immediate success, I like what Notre Dame did. If 338 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: it meant you kept your offensive coordinator and basically your 339 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and they're young, thirty five and twenty nine, 340 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: it can be dangerous because now, if Marcus Freeman becomes 341 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: a head coach, everything that that entails. And I always 342 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: go back to Bill Belichick's coaching tree. You know, Charlie Weiss, 343 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: he's not a head coach, assistant coach, Romeo Cornell assistant coach. 344 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: When you take over the head coaching job and you're 345 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: at a franchise, I mean, this is a Notre Dame's 346 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: a franchise. It's like Duke, the Yankees, the Cowboys. You're 347 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: taking over something really enormous and really really polarizing. Is 348 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: there any other place in college football that comes close 349 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: to what the responsibilities will be at Notre Dame? Well, 350 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: probably Alabama, but I think that's a given. Yeah, And again, 351 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: I know a lot of young people are listening and 352 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: they're going, Notre Dame, what's the deal? But but but Dan, 353 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: When when we grew up, Notre Dame was the biggest 354 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: name in college football, and it still is on one level. 355 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: Now I think it's changed a little bit because the 356 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: sport has mostly moved south in terms of a recruit 357 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: where where recruits want to go. But it's it's you'll 358 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: never go wrong saying I just committed to Notre Dame. 359 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: We're talking to Paul Finebaum, hosts of The Paul Feinbaum 360 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Show on ESPN Radio. Let's look at the what if 361 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: scenarios here. If you want to start with Alabama and Georgia. 362 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: Can Alabama. I know they can beat Georgia. Of course 363 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: they have a chance, but the likelihood that we could 364 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: see Alabama upsetting Georgia is what I think. It's pretty low. Dan, 365 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: And you're talking to somebody who's most of his life 366 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: in Alabama and not not that our predictions matter, but 367 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: I will give you a stat I have not picked 368 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: against Alabama since the Iron Bowl in twenty ten, when 369 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Cam Newton was the Auburn quarterback. And by the way, 370 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: they've only been an underdog one time since then, So 371 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: it's not like I'm really doing anything or going against Vegas. 372 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: You would you would be very wealthy if you had 373 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: been on Alabama every game over the last eleven years. 374 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: But it's hard for me to buy into. Well, Nick 375 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: Saban's on the sidelines, okay, Well, he was on the 376 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: sidelines at College Station. He was also there last week 377 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: at Auburn when Alabama should have lost. So I just 378 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: don't think the matchup goes very well. Yeah. I know 379 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: Kirby Smarts team with Georgia is in the playoffs, but 380 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: they don't care about that. I mean, they want to 381 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: beat Alabama. Kirby Smart can't walk down the street without 382 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: somebody saying, how did you blow the last three Alabama games? 383 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: Two of the two of them in the National Championship game, 384 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: he had a he had a I think a thirteen 385 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: point lead. The next year in the SEC game I 386 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: bubblele he had a seventeen point lead, and he led 387 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: in the most recent game a year ago. So he's 388 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: had enough of that and he's ready to plant his flag. 389 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: I think in Nick Saban's throat, where do you think 390 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: we get the potential for biggest surprise this weekend? Well, 391 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: I do think Cincinnati is vulnerable against Houston. That's a 392 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: team that we just you know, we we haven't talked 393 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: much about, but they're on quite a hot streak. I'd 394 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: rather not say this out loud, that that what if 395 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: Michigan lost, because you know, I mean, I don't even 396 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm not getting out of bed Sunday morning if Michigan loses, 397 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: because I don't even want to think about that possibility. 398 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: But but but I've now I'm now the biggest Jim Harbaugh 399 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: fan in America. I hope he wins everything, never loses 400 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: another game. Wait, wait, what happened? That sounds like that's 401 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, Paul, Well, it's somewhat tongue in cheek. 402 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: But I've heard from somebody good natured Michigan fans that 403 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: are so well meaning, and I just don't I'd rather 404 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: not deal with him again. I say, listen, uh, harbas 405 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: as a as a chapter in many many books. But 406 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: alcohol mistake can lose. I mean, all these are possibilities. 407 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: They're not that far fetched. Oh man, if Michigan loses 408 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: to Iowa, it doesn't does it undo everything? No? Because 409 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: I think he was hired to beat Ohio State. Uh 410 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: And and I think you know he got an unusual 411 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: fan base, Dan, I don't need to enlighten you on that. 412 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: Um and they wanted that game so badly. I think 413 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: that was I know they'll argue, but I think in 414 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: some ways that's what he had to overcome. I think 415 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: he'll win. I think this is a non issue, but um, 416 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: please don't. I mean, I love being on your show, 417 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: but I don't want to see your name on my 418 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: phone Monday morning if Michigan loses, because I'm going into 419 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: a cave. What if Notre Dame somehow gets into the 420 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: final four, Well, then then Marcus Freeman gets to become 421 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: a hero. What was the guy's name at y? Yeah, 422 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: but what about remember the Remember the ntagam play basketball 423 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: tournament with Michigan, right the guy? That guy nearly won 424 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: the national championship. It would be one of those type 425 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: of stories. And you know, everyone who says that the 426 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: Committee will go against Notre Dame, I think they're wrong. 427 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: I think they would like to embrace this story with 428 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: a brand new coach. I think that's I think the 429 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: narrative is completely wrong on Notre Dame. What about Oklahoma State? 430 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: Could Oklahoma State get boxed out here? It's possible. Yes, 431 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: I think Cincinnati is in. I think all these uh 432 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: doomsdayers who think the Committee will go against Cincinnati don't 433 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: don't understand the politics of this. And now I sound 434 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: like one of those critics who who claimed the mothership 435 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: makes every decision. They don't. But but I think Cincinnati 436 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: is the favorite sign here. They if they win, they're in. 437 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: Oh you think that, because I thought they if they 438 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: keep them at four, then it's easier to drop them out, 439 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: if you know, style a point style points here. I'm 440 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: overthinking this, as I always do, Dan, but I just 441 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: think that it would send such a bad message. And 442 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: I don't you know, when these committee guys say, oh, 443 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: we just we had to rereset button every week, I 444 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: don't really believe that. I think if they want, if 445 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: they didn't want Cincinnati, they would have kept them below 446 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: that line because there there would be quite a reaction. Uh. 447 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: And that's not really well right now? College football doesn't care. 448 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: All they care about is one hundred million dollars a coach. 449 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: So but I'm pretty firm on Cincinnati getting in. Does 450 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: Nick Saban get a raise? He should? Uh? And I 451 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: wonder if you know Saban's calling you his agent, Jimmy 452 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: sexon going, does somebody want me? I'm available for one 453 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million And by the way, Dan Nick 454 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Saban is worth one hundred million dollars a year. Forget 455 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: for ten years what he's done for college football, for 456 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: his school, his league. Yeah, you put Nick Saban as 457 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: a CEO on Wall Street or or a California tech company. 458 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: He's making what stock options? He's making one hundred million 459 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: dollars a year? Easy? Yeah. I just wonder how long 460 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: he wants to coach. He did lash out at the 461 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: fan base. He flirted with Texas, but I don't know 462 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: if that was just to say to Alabama, hey, understand 463 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: what you have because there are other people who want me, 464 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: or do you think he got close to taking that 465 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: Texas john. I think he was closed. They offered him 466 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: based on what the people with whom I've spoken about 467 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars back then. That was in twenty twelve, 468 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. He told me once that he did not 469 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: want to deal with the Texas boosters, meaning that there's 470 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: too many people. When he looked to Alabama, he laid 471 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: the law down. I'm running this program, don't bother me. 472 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: And that was always the problem at Alabama. It's been 473 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: the problem at a lot of schools. So he has 474 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: total control and but but you know, he just turned seventy. 475 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ready to walk away. But he 476 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: does seem a little restless this year, doesn't he Yeah, 477 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: he's like irascible, sometimes gets cranky and he just doesn't 478 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: want to deal with, you know, us minions there. I 479 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: asked Brian Kelly yesterday if Notre Dame was ranked third, 480 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: would he have left for the job at LSU? And 481 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: he said, I can't answer that. What do you think 482 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: he would have done? I think he would have had 483 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: a difficult time doing that because you know, it would 484 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: have it would it would have been perceived as unconscionable. 485 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: It's much easier leaving when you're fifth or six, but 486 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: it's no longer your responsibility. Do you think that he's 487 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: basically said to the university and to his players yesterday 488 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: or Monday, I can't win a national championship. That's why. 489 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. That's exactly what he's saying. And he's right. Yea. 490 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: And for all the criticism he has gotten losing to 491 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: Alabama by twenty eight and twenty twelve, and the two 492 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: playoff losses, the roster, I'll never forget on the field 493 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: in Miami and you were down there. I remember seeing 494 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: you at a restaurant the night before. I was walking 495 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: around with somebody from the NFL and NFL executive and 496 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: he said, these two teams don't even look the same. 497 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: Alabama looked like an NFL team and Notre Dame looked 498 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: like a good college team. That they're not comparable. And 499 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: I think that's why he doesn't get the credit that 500 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: he really is deserving. And there was no way he's 501 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: ever going to get the five star defensive players up 502 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: there and the elite athletes at wide receiver and running 503 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: back in quarterback that Alabama, Georgia and a lot of 504 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: the schools in the South and putting LSU get And 505 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: that's why Marcus Freeman, if he takes over the job, 506 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: it's still the same requirements, restrictions, hurdles at Notre Dame. 507 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: Nothing nothing really changes. I mean, you change coaches, but 508 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: you still have your same offensive, offensive and defensive philosophies. 509 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: With those two coaches. You still have to get you 510 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: have to work really hard to get those recruits in 511 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: and Brian Kelly's probably saying, way, man, I can triple 512 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: my salary. Yeah, it's the sec they won a national 513 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: title a couple of years ago, and I don't have 514 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: to worry about anything academically. Where do I sign up? 515 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: And at age sixty? Yeah, I think it's tried to 516 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: say this because we know Saban won a championship at LSU. 517 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: But I have to think Brian Kelly's saying to his 518 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: wife less Miles and at Oseron won titles down there. 519 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: I mean those guys, I mean I can do that. 520 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm proud of those guys, and you're now defined by 521 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: and I think that's where he is. Oh my god. Yeah, 522 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: I haven't thought of it that way. But no offense. 523 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: You were supposed to say, no offense to h with 524 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: all Yes, of course, of course, great to talk to you. 525 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: Paul is always thanks for joining us.

But 549 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: those two went out to the West Coast and were recruiting, 550 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: and then one flew home to South Bend and the 551 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: other one flew maybe to Baton Rouge and then to 552 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: South Bend.

LaMelo Ball is a star. He was 635 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: awesome last night. Now you're gonna hear LaMelo Ball MVP 636 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: candidate question mark. He is great, he's fun and I 637 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: know that we have an aversion to his father, but 638 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: you got to move past that because he is putting 639 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: up big numbers twenty eight, eight and eight, and he's 640 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: just learning. You can see that when you watch still 641 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: learning the game. He's got so much ability and his 642 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: shot is a lot better. Let's put it this way. 643 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: He's making shots that I don't know if that jumper 644 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: is worthy of that. But he has a lot of confidence. 645 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: He has the confidence that Lonzo, his older brother, didn't have. 646 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: Now a Lonzo has developed and he continues to want 647 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,760 Speaker 1: to develop. That's the key a Lonzo. But LaMelo LaMelo 648 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: is not afraid, not afraid of anybody. Then last night 649 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: he was great in that loss. I tried to watch 650 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: the Celtics seventy sixers.

Yeah, I just I couldn't hang in there. 658 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: I watched a lot of college basketball last night. I've 659 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: watched a lot of college basketball this week, but I 660 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: was interrupted last night because I'm on the phone texting 661 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: the whole thing with Notre Dame. What's going on? And 662 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: then I was like, I'm I'm tired. I watched The 663 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner, So what's that about. 664 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: Jeremy Renner is a guy on the outside and he 665 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: sort of navigates negotiate what goes on in the local prison, 666 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: and there's deals that are being made, and you know, 667 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: he's he's kind of a warden of the prison, but 668 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: he's not. It's it's kind of a complicated job title 669 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: that he has. I don't know exactly what he does, 670 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: but he does seem to get a lot of things done. 671 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: It's not really a job in an official capacity, no, no, 672 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: but but Renter's really good in it. And uh, you know. 673 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: There was one problem because if you watch the first episode, 674 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: about halfway through, somebody gets killed that you didn't think 675 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: was going to get killed because you thought they were 676 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: going to be a star. They're already a star. But 677 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 1: it's one of those where you're watching you go, wait, 678 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: they just killed that guy. There's one of like three 679 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: people that I know in this show. Yes, yeah, and 680 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: I went, oh damn. Like when you watch the trailers 681 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: you're watching and then you're going, oh, that guy's in. Okay, 682 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: that guy's in, and you start to watch the first 683 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: episode and you're like, oh, that guy's not in it anymore. Yes, 684 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: h the Friday Night It's Cult, which we all really 685 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: loved that show. Kyle Chandler, what's his role in that? 686 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: I hope that doesn't give away anything. He was alive 687 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: and he was dead. But I was going to watch 688 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,919 Speaker 1: that just because Kyle Chandler is in that. That would 689 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: be the spoiler alert. Todd. Yeah, it doesn't end well, 690 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: and I'm going, wait a minute, he's a big name. 691 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why I wanted to tune 692 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: in to watch it. Clear Eyes, Purehearts. Cad Louis, I 693 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: guess he lost a couple of phone calls here James 694 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. Good morning, James. What's on your mind morning? DP? 695 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: Six foot a fired up one? Okay, you know what's 696 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: great about today, mister Patrick, is that Brian Kelly screwed 697 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bearcats in two thousand and nine by getting 698 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: on the plane and not going to the Sugar Bowl 699 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: for our defeated season to go to Notre Dame. Earlier 700 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: this week, he tries to screw the Bearcats again by 701 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: taking taking off the LSU and Notre Dame coming after 702 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: Luke fickle. But the best part about all the says 703 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly goes to LSU's gonna get dog walked in 704 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: the SEC and then on top of that, his last, 705 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: his last career loss at Notre Dame is too Cincinnati. 706 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: Oh the irony. I can't wait for the Bearcats to 707 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: roll this weekend and we're headed to the college football playoffs. 708 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: All right, stop them Bearcats? All right, good luck against Houston. 709 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,240 Speaker 1: Don't overlook Houston at somebody who's watched two complete games 710 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: with Houston this year, don't overlook them. By the way, 711 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: in fairness to Brian Kelling, he left Cincinnati in a 712 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: better position, and he's leaving Notre Dame in a better position, 713 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,959 Speaker 1: so we can we can rail against how he left. 714 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: He can coach, and he's great at hiring assistant coaches. 715 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: If you look at his coaching tree. He had Matt 716 00:41:52,800 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: Lafleur and he had Uh Salah Rob Slid Jets coach. Yes, 717 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: they were Grat assistants with him at Central Michigan, I believe. 718 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: And the story was Brian was having a party and 719 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,879 Speaker 1: he brought in Matt Lafleur, who's now the Packers' head coach, 720 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: and Robert Sala who's the Jets head coach, and asked 721 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: them to shovel snow outside his house. Yeah, all right, 722 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: well I gotta earn your keeping. Come on, Grat assistant. 723 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: Mister Miyagi made Daniel do the waxing, and look how 724 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: that worked. Okay, Joe and Delaware. Hey Joe, what's I 725 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: can imagine Matt la floor, the Packer head coach. You 726 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: had him out there shovel and snow. Yeah, I need 727 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: you guys to park these cars. Yeah, get them at 728 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: the end of the night. They thought that they were 729 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: being invited to the party, and they get there and 730 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: then they have to shovel snow. Yeah, Paul, can I 731 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: get a drink now? But you can grab the shovel, 732 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: Robert Sala looks like you could shovel some snow though. 733 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: Joe and Delaware, Hi Joe, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dad? 734 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: How are you right? Appreciate that? And I'll tell you, 735 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 1: as a lifelong Packers band if that helped bat mcclore, 736 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: I am. I'm all for it. Hey, I think Paul 737 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,320 Speaker 1: fine Ball stole my thunder a little bit. I was 738 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: going to argue that I thought Hardball Jim Harball had 739 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: the best week of all, just finally getting that monkey 740 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: off his back beating Ohio State. But I wanted to 741 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: run something by you regarding Harball, you and the Dan h. 742 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: I can't think of anybody else in the Super Bowl 743 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 1: era that has been good at all four levels of 744 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: football college coach, college player, NFL coach, NFL player like Hardball. 745 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: I know he hasn't what a championship at any of 746 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: the four, but I honestly can't think of anybody else 747 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: that succeeded at all four levels like Harball has. Right, 748 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: I'm not sure he always gets the credit for that, right, Well, 749 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 1: thank you Joe, give that a little thought here, But 750 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: how many how many guys would qualify in that category, 751 00:43:53,200 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: Like who's been college player, pro player, college coach, pro coach. Yeah, 752 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: McLevin Pete Carroll play. I have no idea if he did. 753 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,879 Speaker 1: He didn't play at a high level. But is there 754 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: anybody who comes close to that? Trying to think off 755 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: the top of my head. You know, it's tricky because 756 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about college, pro player, college pro coach. Not 757 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: many people would qualify for that. Yeah, mclev Spurrier did 758 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: not have NFL because he did not he won a Heisman. 759 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: He was not a good pro quarterback, Hardball was a 760 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: pretty good pro quarterback. Yeah. Paul Pete Carroll played college 761 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: football first out of junior college. Then he played at 762 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: the University of the Pacific. He was a free safety. 763 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: He was All Pacific Coast Conference.
