1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: What kind of sadistic person, what kind of sadistic show

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: chooses the beginning of March to do what we're about

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: to do tonight? What are we going to do tonight?

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: Full SEC coaching staffs created, not just the head coach, kids,

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Thankless behavior, thankless work being done on

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: this show. We're jampacked Hia top a lovely downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Tonight, Sunday,

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: March third, the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four. Yes,

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: SEC coaching staff, we're grading them tonight. We are ranking them.

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: We're not even power rating, it's actual rankings. We're dropping

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: on you tonight. I'm gonna talk about that. Johnny Manzel

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: pretty outspoken this week about something I hold near and

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: dear to my heart, and that is Heisman foolishness. Therefore,

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: we will discuss that tonight. I've got some sleeping giant

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: programs that we need to talk about. That's code for yeah,

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna talk Nebraska at some point during the show.

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: All that, I've got, what else? Jesse the top quarterback

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: rooms in the sport this year. And also, as you know,

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: we were down in Athens last week, had a really

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: really positively received one on one conversation with Kirby Smart

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: that's on the channel now if you want to watch

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: it or listen to it. But also, hey man, we

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: saw a lot down there. Some of it we can't

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: talk about. Some of it we can talk about. Some

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: of it I can be kind of vague about. But

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you as much as I can give

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: you a little scoop about our trip down to Athens.

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: And we got like a dozen or two dozen more

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: of those trips coming at various points this spring. They're

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: watching us in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Olympia, Washington, Mikanos, Greece, and Meridianville, Alabama.

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. As I said, the Pate

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: State Speaker Series has cranked up. We're gonna be all

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: over the country this spring. I am not releasing a

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: promotional poster or dates. I'll just let you know when

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: it's time. But we're gonna be coast to coast. We

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: will be all over the country, will be in every

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: major conference, and it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun.

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Got a lot of big names lined up and a

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: lot of live shows on the road at various universities.

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: So that's for then, this is for now. How should

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: I best intro this segment? Colin? This one's gonna be dirty. Now,

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: this one's gonna make us no friends out there. But

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: you know what, it ain't me. It's the model. Yes,

43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: I say that during the season all the time, but

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm also saying it now. It's not me, it's the model.

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: So here we go, Colin, here's your endpoint. I realized

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: a long time ago that if I was going to

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: properly rank head coaches and coaching staffs, I just needed

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: to remove myself from the equation. I don't trust my

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: gut on this stuff. I don't trust my instinct because

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: I like coaches too much. I enjoy hanging out with them, candidly,

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: I enjoy conversing with coaches more than I do talking

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: to people in my own industry. And so I realized

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I needed to get myself out of there because I

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: would be too I would be too lenient, and I

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: would be stopping well short of criticizing these guys. So

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: we needed some lifeless, emotionless grading criteria and scales and variables,

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: and we got it. And this thing has been so

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: dialed in that I realized it's one of the most

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: effective mechanisms that we have in house here, and thus

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: far I had not ever shared any of it, but

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: I told Jesse, I told Colin, we need to start

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: sharing this stuff. So tonight we're going to show you

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: some of our grading and some of our tiers for

64
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: every SEC coaching staff, not just head coach, but coaching staffs.

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Experience matters a whole lot in this We heavily value

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: experience games coached overall head coach, to the coordinators, to

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: then the support staff, which is the position coaches. Is

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: how the funnel works and how we prioritize and weight

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: our grading scale. And it is amazing to see how

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: much movement there is in modern day college football any

71
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: given year, what percentage of a staff turns over? Can

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: you keep your head coach, offensive coordator, defensive coordinator, a

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: special teams moves? Oklahoma made a massive special teams coordinator

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: higher Texas has got one of the best offensive coordinator,

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator combos and college football. So

76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: all this stuff so fascinating to look at. Let's dive

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: into this. Okay, I'm not giving you this in any

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: particular order, but I am going to give you tiers

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Tier one in the SEC. Right now. Ole Miss has

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: a Tier one coaching staff in the SEC. I think

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: that surprises a lot of you. Candidly, it surprises me

82
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: that Lane Kiffin has gotten his overall staff to Tier

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: one status in the most talent rich environment in America,

84
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference. A lot of people look at ole

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: Miss and they think transfer portal, You think talent acquisition.

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: You may not think elite coaching staff. They got a

87
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Tier one coaching staff down here. Now, they when accounting

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: for staff changes and overall staff grading changes, they upgrade

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: it at all eleven spots ole Miss across the board

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: upgraded from what they had this time last year. They

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: added two hundred and seventy four games of overall coaching experience,

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: which is a huge upgrade, and defensive support grade jumped

93
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: big time with the additions. They made ole Miss as

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: a Tier one coaching staff right now in the SEC. Now,

95
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: it's not going to surprise you. The next team is

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Georgia on the list. So Georgia's absolutely got a Tier

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: one coaching staff. They had the number one staff in

98
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: the SEC last year through the losses and the additions

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: they just made. It's crazy that their net score is unchanged.

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: It just like not even plus or minus one percent.

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty unchanged. In our model here, I don't expect

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: that to change. As long as Kirby Smart's there and

103
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: that infrastructure is in place, They're always going to have

104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: a Tier one staff in the SEC head coach, offensive coordinator,

105
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: and defensive coordinator return and it's a machine there in Athens.

106
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: There actually is not a whole lot more to say

107
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: about them. That's not a surprise. The next team, I

108
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: think is going to surprise you, maybe to the degree

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: that Ole Miss surprises you. Auburn University right now. Tier

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: one coaching staff in the SEC. Hugh Freeze has a

111
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: lot to do with that. But you may think to yourself,

112
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: like I do. They lost both coordinators. They upgraded in

113
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: the aggregate, they upgraded. Now that overall staff upgrading despite

114
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: losing two coordinators. You can make of that what you

115
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: want to. They added one hundred and seventy six games

116
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: of overall coaching experience. The offensive support staff is down

117
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: just a little bit, but the defensive support staff grade

118
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: is actually up. And so I'm showing you on the

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: screen right now. Some of the guys they hired, like

120
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: they added DJ Diurkin defensive coordinator, linebacker, coach. You can

121
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: have whatever personal opinion you want of the guy. I

122
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: care strictly about numbers. He's not even a person to

123
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: this model. It's just a bunch of numbers. Charles Kelly

124
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: came in as CODC. Big time edition there and Auburn

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: in the aggregate, an actual Tier one coaching staff in

126
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: the SEC. I don't think many people would place them there.

127
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: If you just went off gut feel Auburn off the

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: top of your head, what do you think? And that

129
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: includes me. I would not have put him there. But

130
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: the overall system that we trust implicitly does put them there.

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Where's Alabama? Is Alabama still in the Tier one? Yes

132
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: they are. Alabama is a Tier one coaching staff. Nick

133
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: Saban steps out, Kaylen de Bor steps in. Now. I

134
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: got to tell you something about a month ago when

135
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Debor had come in and he had hired Ryan Grubb

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: as his offensive coordinator and Scott Huff was going to

137
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: be the offensive line coach. That staff, if you pressed

138
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: pause on it was going to be one of our

139
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: three best in America. It's still one of the top ten,

140
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: top fifteen best in America. It is still good for

141
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Tier one status in the SEC. But those were losses.

142
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: So there's no way around that those were losses. They

143
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: lose a lot of experience. So this is where you

144
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: have to maybe insert yourself a little bit immunity. They

145
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: lost two hundred and twenty three games of overall coaching experience. Well,

146
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: that can very easily be dedicated to just losing Nick Saban,

147
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: who's been around forever, and replacing him with Kaylin de Boor.

148
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: That's a ton of experience that you lose. Not to

149
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: mention the experience is on the shoulders of Nick litteral

150
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Sabin that you're losing. The defensive support staff, though, is

151
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: what stands out here. Okay, you had Alabama under Nick

152
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Saban last year and then Debor comes in and I've

153
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: been telling you, I think if you drill down a

154
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: little bit, they upgraded parts of this coaching staff. They

155
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: upgraded their defensive support staff. It's what they did. Colin Hitchler,

156
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: for example, is I believe the safety's coach there. That's

157
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: a big time get. That's one of the rising star

158
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: names in this business. It's one of the names that

159
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: we have circled. Their defensive support staff is up nearly

160
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: nine percent from what Nick Saban had last year. So

161
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: you think Kaitlin de Boy, you think offensive minded guy,

162
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: it's the defense that got upgraded. Here those are the

163
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: tier one coaching staffs in the SEC right now old

164
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Miss Georgia, Auburn, Bama. That is in no particular order.

165
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Now we go to tier two again, in no particular order.

166
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: Missouri a tier two coaching staff in the SEC. Big

167
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: note here, Okay, you know we're sky high on Kevin Peeples.

168
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: He was the d line coach there last year along

169
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: with Blake Baker. The defensive coordinator. Brian Kelly took him both.

170
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: They both went to LSU. Thinking to myself, that's gonna

171
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: be tough for Eli Drinkwitz. That's a massive drop off.

172
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just Kevin Peeples alone is it's a huge,

173
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: like rock star name in the future of coaching on

174
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: the defensive side. And then he goes down to Houston.

175
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: He gets Brian early early is a we would have

176
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: him graded a four point five star caliber defensive line coach. Somehow,

177
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: Eli Drinkwitz lost stud defensive staffers and their defensive support

178
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: staff grade went up. I don't know that there is

179
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: a guy who's better at hiring in this conference right

180
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: now than Eli Drinkwitz, especially when you account for the

181
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: fact that he's working in a little bit of a

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: disadvantaged position because he's the head coach at Missouri and

183
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: not Georgia or not Alabama or not LSU. In fact,

184
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: he's losing staffers two programs like LSU and finding a

185
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: way to upgrade, and he's not replacing trash like he's

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: replacing really good coaches. They had the third biggest staff

187
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: improvement grade across the board in the SEC, and Eli

188
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: Drinkwot's great also improved because last year, since this is

189
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: a living, breathing grade, last year did them a lot

190
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: of favors too. But Missouri's got a legit coaching staff.

191
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: I told you coming into last year, I think you'd

192
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: be surprised if you knew they have one of the

193
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five best staffs in the country. Maybe

194
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: people will still be surprised to know that's about where

195
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be again this year. They are a

196
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: really solid, high level Tier two coaching staff in the SEC,

197
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: which places you way up there. Nationally. You notice I

198
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: haven't mentioned Texas yet, which candidly surprised me a little bit.

199
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: I didn't cheat on this. I didn't look ahead of time.

200
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: I knew we were going to do this show in

201
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: this segment, so I did not look ahead of time.

202
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: I would have thought Texas was going to be a

203
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Tier one staff. Texas, Texas, it may surprise you a

204
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: little bit, is a tier two staff in the SEC.

205
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Tier two in the SEC is really good. But when

206
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: you dive into it a little bit and you know

207
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: what we value, especially in terms of experience, it's not

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: so surprising. So Bo Davis went to LSU. If you're

209
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: noticing a theme, LSU really upgraded defensively. We'll get to

210
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: that in a second. Bo Davis was a four star

211
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: caliber defensive line coach known commodity, been around forever. They

212
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: replaced him with Kenny Baker. Kenney Baker came there by

213
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: way of the Dolphins, but he has no experience, So

214
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: the experience inversion there is going to downgrade their overall

215
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: support staff grade defensively quite a bit. But here's the

216
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: thing about Texas. When you look at the oc DC

217
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Special Teams Coordinator COMBO, which is a grade that some

218
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: people in our organization like to value a lot. They

219
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: are the highest graded staff in America when you go coordinators,

220
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: including special teams combined, because Texas has studs at all

221
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: three positions. There you got Sarkoff obviously is the OC. There,

222
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: Pete Wakowski's the DC, and then Jeff Banks who's been

223
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: at Bama and been at Texas. Now they are about

224
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: as good as it gets in college football at those

225
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: three positions. Speaking of LSU, LSU solid tier two coaching

226
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: stifle in the SEC right now. It was the lowest

227
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: graded defensive staff in the conference last year, which is

228
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: exactly why they looked the way they did on the

229
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: field last year. No excuse for LSU to ever be

230
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: that bad on the defensive side of the ball. Well,

231
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: they realized it, and sure there was nowhere to go

232
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: butt up, but they really really really went up. They

233
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: led the SEC and defensive staff upgrade at nearly twenty

234
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: five percent, which I know doesn't mean a lot to

235
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: you unless you understand how this model works. It's a

236
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: huge jump. Kevin Peeples as I told you a new

237
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: defensive line guy there, he's big time. They added Bo

238
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Davis as well, both of those are four star plus

239
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: guys just being added. On the d line. They added

240
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five games of experience, and listen,

241
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: they lost Denbrock, they lost a four point five star

242
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: caliber offensive coordinator, tight ends coach, or they'd be up

243
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: there in Tier one right now. That's what drug LSU

244
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: as a staff grade down just below Tier one status.

245
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: But they couldn't have knocked it out of the park

246
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: anymore on their defensive upgrades. Now, does that mean they're

247
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: going to immediately just poof be a top ten defense

248
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: this year overnight. No, it won't because I don't think

249
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: they have the personnel to be that yet. But they

250
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: will be a heck of a lot better than they

251
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: were last year. And there's another Tier two staff out there.

252
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: Where do you think it may be? It's probably Knoxville, Tennessee.

253
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: So Tennessee also a Tier two SEC coaching staff right now.

254
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Their overall grade is pretty unchanged from last year. They

255
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: gained one hundred and fifty two games of overall experience.

256
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: There is not a whole lot to say about Tennessee because,

257
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: like I said, it didn't fluctuate a whole lot. It's

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: just a really solid tier two staff in the SEC.

259
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: And obviously, as you go further and further down the road,

260
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: you've got a chance to keep the same guys like

261
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: Hypel could be the head coach there, and if they

262
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: pop a ten or eleven win season on you this

263
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: year and their offensive productions through the roof, his grade

264
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: could increase, and therefore standing overall could increase. This stuff

265
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: changes year to year. It's not static, and it's emotionless too,

266
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: So don't really matter whether you like Tennessee or not.

267
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: This thing has no clue who Josh Hypel is. It

268
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: just sees the title head coach and then it plugs

269
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: in the numbers accordingly. All right, let's get into Tier three,

270
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: cause there are some names conspicuous in their absence right

271
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: now that I know we're about to hear a lot

272
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: about Oklahoma. We've got as a Tier three coaching staff

273
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: in the SEC right now. Their overall staff grade increased

274
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: fourteen percent from last year. Brent Venables head coaching grade

275
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: accounted for a lot of that. His head coaching grade increased,

276
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: as you could imagine when you've got no head coaching

277
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: experience and then your first year is as his was,

278
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: and then you have year two like he did last year,

279
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: it's going to increase pretty substantially. Their offensive support staff dipped,

280
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: defensive support staff grade rose. They made a monster special

281
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: teams coordinator higher at Oklahoma. One of the biggest head

282
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: scratches we had is watching Doug Deacon, who was the

283
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator at San Diego State. He comes into Oklahoma.

284
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: There should have been about a seventeen way bidding war

285
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: for this guy's services, and as far as we could tell,

286
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: he did not have a lot of traction out there,

287
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: did not have a ton of major offers, and whatever

288
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Brent Venables saw in our opinion was the proper view,

289
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,359
Speaker 1: because Deacon is a massive special teams coordinator higher for Oklahoma.

290
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Like watch, that paid dividends immediately for them this year.

291
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Next up. Mark Stoops did some work once the season ended.

292
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: If I believed in the word off season, I'd use

293
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: it here. Mark Stoops got it done. Ever since last

294
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: season ended, they had the biggest offensive support staff increase

295
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: in the SEC. At Kentucky. They went and got Shorts,

296
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: who's the wide receivers coach. Big time upgrade, I mean

297
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: big time positional grade increase there. Their total staff grade

298
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: at Kentucky's up over four percent, had an excellent cycle.

299
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: They also went and got Wolford back from Alabama, the

300
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: offensive line coach that left there a couple of years ago.

301
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: But to kill Schwartz, that's the wide receiver coach. That's

302
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: the one we circle. That was the big get in

303
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: our opinion for Mark Stoops. And that's not a name

304
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna grab a lot of headlines, but that's not

305
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: what we build this for. Again, emotionless, just care about

306
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: grading guys, and to kill Schwartz is a big time

307
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: get from Mark Stoops. Okay, let's talk about Florida. So

308
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I was waiting to get to this one. The Florida

309
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: Gators right now we think have a Tier three coaching

310
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: staff in the SEC. They had big time shuffle down there.

311
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: The dB in offensive or out outside linebackers' positions we

312
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: think upgraded in the aggregate, but the defensive line change

313
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: did drop their overall defensive support staff grade. Austin Armstrong's

314
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: the DC there. His grade dropped last year and that

315
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: brought the overall staff grade down pretty significantly. Because obviously

316
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: coordinators are right below head coaches in terms of what

317
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: we weight the heaviest. I'm very interested to see what

318
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: the staff does this year because also along with additions,

319
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: you have rumors of you know, changing and redelegating responsibilities

320
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: and various play calling roles and all of that's rumor

321
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: until you get to actual nuts and bolts of fall

322
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: camp and install, and then you get to the season,

323
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: then we find out. But right now we got Florida

324
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: as pretty solid staff. It's a tier three staff. I

325
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: know that sounds bad. It's really not like. It's a

326
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of really competitive staffs in the SEC. Really good staffs.

327
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: When you got a lot of money to spend, that's

328
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: what you can do. Texas A and M wanted to

329
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: talk to you about them too. Texas A and M's

330
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: got an entirely new staff. We've got it initially pegged

331
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: as a tier three staff in the SEC. It's the

332
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: second biggest offensive support staff jump right behind Kentucky in

333
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: the entire conference. They got better on the offensive side

334
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: of the ball. I don't think that shocks many people.

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: They got better over there. Now here's what I'm waiting

336
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: to see. I'm waiting to see who calls the defense.

337
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: Mike Elko is the new head coach there, and Jay

338
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: Bateman is the new defensive coordinator. I want to know

339
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: who's calling the defense there because it would matter a

340
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: pretty great deal. This model is sitting here telling me

341
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: if Elko is the one calling the defense, it would

342
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: be worth a lot more in defensive staff grade than

343
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: if Jay Bateman is. It's not down on Bateman, it's

344
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: just way up on Mike Elco. Excellent base set up

345
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: here though, So this is a foundation, and then this

346
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: time next year, amm's coaching staff grade could fluctuate pretty

347
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: wildly because there's a lot of inexperience, there's a lot

348
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: of new That's the case anytime you have a new

349
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: coaching staff. This is not predictive though. The point is

350
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm really big on Mike Elko, and this is me

351
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: personally talking, I'm really big on Elco. Even if the

352
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: overall system was predictive and it was high on Elko,

353
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: this is not a predictive grade. This is a here

354
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: and now grade. That would be like if the thermometer

355
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: says seventy four right now, but there's a snowstorm predicted

356
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. The thermometer is not going to proactively go

357
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: down to thirty two. It's going to wait for the

358
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: conditions to change and it will respond accordingly. So this

359
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: is meant to give us a real time grade based

360
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: on the criteria and the proper factors on coaching staffs.

361
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: All right, so those are the top three tiers that

362
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: we've got in the SEC. Now here's what I chose

363
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: not to do. I chose not to lay out all

364
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: of the rest of the conference because it's already a

365
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: twenty minute segment, but I did want to specify something

366
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: with South Carolina. South Carolina we did not have in

367
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: the first three tiers. There. They have four hundred and

368
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: fifty two combined games of coaching experience on that staff

369
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: at South Carolina. That makes them the least experienced staff

370
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: in the SEC. That matters for us, That matters for

371
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: the way that we wait things. That means you need

372
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: patience because it could be a really good staff and

373
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: we just don't know it. But what we are not

374
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: doing is building a model that's predictive or instinct based.

375
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: We are building it based on results. And so for

376
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: all we know, Shaneiemer's got the best staff in the SEC.

377
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: He could have the worst staff in the SEC. But

378
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: if it's that experienced at the very least, the model

379
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: is going to take a wait and see approach on it.

380
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Their staff grades also dropped. Therefore, in all three coaching

381
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: sectors again inexperience, patience, and I also wanted to mention

382
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: Mississippi State because it's the same song and dance there.

383
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: Jeff Leby's the new head coach. He's never been a

384
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: head coach before. There's not a lot of experience on

385
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: the staff. Head coach and defensive coordinator have zero games

386
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: experience at their current positions. They could knock it out

387
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: of the park. Okay, it's not predictive, just means there's

388
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: no experience there. It's gonna take a wait and see approach.

389
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: But I will tell you one thing I'm personally watching.

390
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Leby is a top one percent play caller in

391
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: terms of pace of play. When you combine that with

392
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: an inexperienced or first time defensive coordinator, it normally does

393
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: not bode well. That's just speaking historically for obvious reasons.

394
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: If I got to do callin plays at a million

395
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: miles an hour over there, usually it means my defense

396
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: is going to be forced into sudden situations more and

397
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: there are going to be more quick transitions, and I'm

398
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to be on the field more. And if

399
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing, which some inexperienced guys don't,

400
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: then it could be long season. So those are some

401
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: things that we're watching SEC Coaching staff grades. Now I

402
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: know the comment section will be on fire. Here's what

403
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to do. Don't just tell me if

404
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: you disagree with something that you think it's wrong, tell

405
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: me why you think it's wrong. Give me your grading system,

406
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: give me your criteria. Because I laid out ours as

407
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: best I can. I'm not fully raising the curtain on it,

408
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: but I'll be happy to go back and forth with

409
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: this because I know why the model thinks what it thinks.

410
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: And I don't even necessarily agree across the board with

411
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: everything we have, but I do know why we have

412
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: what we have, all right, Nice little hello, nice little

413
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: introduction to the show Tonight. Late Kick Live is the

414
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: name of the show, and we do it a couple

415
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: times a week, throwing a podcast midweek for fun. You

416
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: know I should tell you while I have you here,

417
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: I am sometimes very quick to forget how many new

418
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: people we add to the show every month. Okay, So

419
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: sometimes I have to remind the newcomers that number one,

420
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: we're happy to have you. Number two. The way we

421
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: do things this time of year, Sunday night, Thursday night,

422
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: we have a live show. Tuesday. Sometime during the day,

423
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: an extra podcast drops. We literally call it the Late

424
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Kick Extra podcast, but it's not on YouTube. You may

425
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: see some random clips from it, but the entire thing

426
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: is podcast form only, which means you got to go

427
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: wherever you listen to podcast and subscribe while you're there.

428
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: So if you're not seeing it, if you hear me

429
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: talking about something but you're looking on the YouTube channel

430
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: and you don't see it, that's why it's a crazy

431
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: little scheme. We have to drive subscriptions in both places,

432
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: and since both places are free to subscribe, we don't

433
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: think it's too much to ask humbly. Maybe we're wrong,

434
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: but we don't think it's too much to ask. All Right,

435
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: I've got I got so many places to go tonight,

436
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: so just settle in. We're just getting started. I have

437
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: this I have this thing about Johnny Manziel I wan

438
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: to talk about later. I'm really fired up about it.

439
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: I'm glad he did what he did and if you

440
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: don't know what he did yesterday or two days ago,

441
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. If I were to ask you,

442
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: what are the top quarterback rooms in college football this

443
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: upcoming year? Just like rattle them off the top of

444
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: your head, where would you go call? Someone asked me

445
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: that at the gym, So I said, Jesse, throw it

446
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: into the show. Let's talk about it. Texas has got

447
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: to be up there, okay, Quinn Ewers And a little

448
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: side conversation about this is how good is Quinn Owers.

449
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: It's NFL draft time and combine time right now. A

450
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: year from now, he'll be under a whole lot of scrutiny.

451
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: But I think we can get ahead of the curve there.

452
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's for another day yet, Quinn, You Weers

453
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: there a lot of experience now. Arch Manning is their apparent.

454
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: Trey Owens is a four star kid they just signed.

455
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: He won't figure into things this year. But we're talking

456
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: about depth of the quarterback room, so that matters. I

457
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: trust Steve Sarkisian implicitly as a play caller and developer

458
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, even without Malik Murphy who transferred

459
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: out of there to Duke this right here is one

460
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: of the best quarterback rooms in college football, Oregon. Keep

461
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: that up for a second there, Colin calls Quinn Ewers.

462
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I was asking that question about him. Three hundred or

463
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: more passing yards than six games last year, yet he

464
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: was surrounded with weaponry and again one of the very

465
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: best play callers in college football in my opinion, And

466
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: my question is, how do you think about him? We're

467
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: in this world now where you're either elite or you're trash.

468
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Quinn Owers is neither of those. I look at him

469
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: as a pretty good college quarterback with the ceiling probably

470
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: a little bit higher than what he's reached so far.

471
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: That's okay. God gives you three or four years to

472
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: play this sport for a reason. As MEMI used to say,

473
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: what's reasonable to expect ad Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, Whittington, Jadavian

474
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: Sanders are all at the door this year. They got

475
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: a hope that they hit big time in the portal.

476
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: What's reasonable? Is there another notch or two up the

477
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: ladder that he can climb this year? All right? Those

478
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: are kind of rhetorical. Those are future facing questions. Oregon

479
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: certainly certainly one of the best quarterback rooms in the

480
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: country is in Eugene, Oregon. Dylan Gabriel they just added

481
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 1: via the portal. Dante More, they just added via the portal.

482
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: This is college Football Circle twenty twenty four because this

483
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: time last year, we had no clue either of these

484
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: guys could even point to Oregon on a map, much

485
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: less actually find their way there to play. Now More

486
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: probably could because he visited there and he was committed

487
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: there at one point. But you get what I mean,

488
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. I don't pick fights internally here. It's just

489
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: not good business. But our twenty four to seven Sports

490
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: Portal rankings had Gabriel Jesse what was it is the

491
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: number twelve overall quarterback. And I look at that and

492
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: I just shake my head. Reasonable minds can disagree there

493
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: were not twelve better available at the position than Dylan Gabriel.

494
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go ahead and tell you I don't

495
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: think there was one or two better. I have to

496
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: cover my mouth like Gus Malsan when I say that,

497
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: so they can't read my lips. Gabriel was their best

498
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: option and they went and got him. So as far

499
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, they hit a home run, maybe a

500
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: grand slam at Oregon, and then for good measure, they

501
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: went and got Dante Moore, who, in a rare, rare

502
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: move this day and age, serves as their next guy.

503
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: So they went and got their initial guy and their

504
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: next guy both out of the portal and Gabriel last

505
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: year over three thousand yards, thirty touchdowns, six interceptions, added

506
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: twelve more on the ground. I was there at the

507
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl when he did what he did against Texas,

508
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think Oregon could have done twelve

509
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: guys better than Dylan Gabriel this past cycle. In the portal.

510
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Let us talk about the Florida Gators for the second

511
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: time tonight, but in a much different context. One of

512
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: the great mysteries of last year was how bad as

513
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: a team Florida ended up being, despite how good secretly

514
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: Graham Mertz ended up being at quarterback. Because I got

515
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: to give Billy Napier a lot of credit. He talked

516
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: all last summer about how they evaluated the entire portal

517
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: and they looked at all the quarterbacks available and they

518
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: thought that Mertz was the best option for them. And

519
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: you know what, he was right. Graham Mertz had a

520
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: pretty good year last year and now they added DJ Lagway,

521
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: who is the future at the position. But in the meantime,

522
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Graham Mertz has come back and last year twenty touchdowns

523
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: three picks was a seventy three percent completion. Guy. I mean,

524
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: they've got they've got good enough talent at quarterback, both

525
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: now and in the future. And it's why it's tough.

526
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I know you may view Florida football as being on

527
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: life support, and a lot of people are going to

528
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: have that staff on their hot seat lists, and I

529
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: don't know that that's unfair. I'm just saying, when you

530
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: check the quarterback box, it's tough for me to just

531
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: write you off completely. Maybe maybe that'll happen despite the

532
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: quarterback position, but it's tough for me to write teams

533
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: off when I like them, though I do Florid at

534
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. What about Ohio State? A lot of

535
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: fun and exciting times ahead in Columbus. So Ryan Day

536
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: goes out and he gets Will Howard out of the

537
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: portal that was the quarterback at Kansas State last year.

538
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: And you know they already got Devin Brown, who was

539
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: locked in that battle with Kyle mccordal at this time

540
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: last year. Then they went and got Bama's five star kid,

541
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: and Julian's saying, and they've got their own and Aaron

542
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Nolan and so they've got a loaded quarterback room by

543
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: depth standards. But the irony is Will Howard figures to

544
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: be the starter this year, and he's not a sure

545
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: fire stud like he's he's not sure of fire all

546
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: big ten potential. He's shown that he's a pretty good

547
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: player at the position, and certainly he won't have to

548
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: shoulder the entire load. They got a dominant one to

549
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: two in the backfield. They will have one of the

550
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: best defenses in the country. So we're not looking for

551
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: a guy to put up pinball numbers here, but we

552
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: are looking for a guy to make the right decisions

553
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: in the three or four clutch moments this year that

554
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: it'll take for them to be a ten win team

555
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: versus going to the national championship. And so this is interesting.

556
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly has come in there as well as the

557
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. It's interesting because if we were talking about

558
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: overall quarterback rooms, which we are, Ohio State's way up there,

559
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: but if we're talking about ranking starting quarterbacks, I don't

560
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: know that they've got a top five guy in the

561
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: country right now if it's Will Howard, but he's good

562
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: enough for them to win with so interesting times. What

563
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: about Georgia. We were down there last week to say

564
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: that Georgia has breathed a sigh of relief the size

565
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: of Athens with Carson Beck choosing to return would be

566
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: an understatement. I know that you know how big a

567
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: deal it is for him to return, but you're still

568
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: not viewing it in nearly as big a terms as

569
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: they are, because this is a total game changer for

570
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: them to get him to return. I think Carson Beck's

571
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: the most important returning quarterback in the country this year.

572
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: Four thousand yard guy last year, nearly seventy two percent completion,

573
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty four to six TD to I int ratio. And

574
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: even after they lost Riola, he decommitted and he goes

575
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: to Nebraska got Ryan Piglsi, who candidly I love just

576
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: as much as Riola did or I did Riyola. So

577
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton's there as well. They've got a really really

578
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: good quarterback room there. And also, let's not kid ourselves.

579
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: Much like Oregon on the West coast, George is going

580
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: to be a prime destination if they do ever need

581
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: to go to the portal to pick up guys at

582
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: that position as well. And Alabama's got to be up

583
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: here as well. So we get an offensive minded head

584
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: coach in Kaylin de Boor that comes in who has

585
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: got a track record of squeezing every ounce of potential

586
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: out of every quarterback he's ever touched. And then Jalen

587
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: Milrose there, who had a good but far from perfect

588
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: season last year. There's still a lot of his game

589
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: that could be improved, and now that's what Kaylin Debor inherits.

590
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: But also they got Ty Simpson still there. Lanergan is

591
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: an extremely underrated guy that they talk a lot about internally,

592
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: but no one else in America knows anything about yet.

593
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: And then they imported Austin Mack. Austin Mack was up

594
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: there with them at Washington last year and they brought

595
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: him in via transfer to Alabama. Austin Mack is how

596
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: should I describe him? He makes Jaylen Milroe look pretty

597
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: average size by comparison, and Milroe is a tank. Austin

598
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: Mack is just a monster and has hasn't really started

599
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but they think he may be

600
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: the future there, so I don't expect all four of

601
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: those guys to stay at Alabama. But in the here

602
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: and now, Bama's got one of the best quarterback rooms

603
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: in the country as well. All right, let's move along.

604
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: Let's move along. Hey, I'm gonna show you something randomly.

605
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: Do you see this? You see this picture? This is

606
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: in my note right now. If you're listening on podcasts,

607
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: just picture a skeleton holding a cup of coffee, Like,

608
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: what could that possibly be? In my notes for I

609
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: promise there will come a point in this show tonight

610
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: where that picture makes sense. You know how rarely I

611
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: believe in using visual aids. Look at how bland this

612
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: background is. You're lucky it's even colored. So yeah, it's

613
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a happening show eventually tonight, Jesse, did we

614
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: have a question about sleeping giant programs? I'm looking at

615
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: the feed over here, I'm looking at the delayed feed

616
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: on my laptop and I'm just now holding up the

617
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: picture of that skeleton and creep me out a little bit. Oh,

618
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: a text from Billy Lucci. It's good to hear from him.

619
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, we got one from Seth Seth in Boston,

620
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: asked me what sleeping giant program would you most like

621
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: to see return to the top of the sport in

622
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Now, Seth, I don't know that any

623
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: of these programs are going all the way to the

624
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: mountaintop in twenty twenty four, but I do have four

625
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: of them that I just wanted to discuss briefly. I

626
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: got some eye popping numbers, maybe some paper popping numbers here.

627
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: So Nebraska is always the go to here because when

628
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: I was a youth down in Georgia and Nebraska was

629
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: a superpower, and I also learned learned about Nebraska from

630
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: once upon a time, way back in the day. There

631
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: were superpower then as well. And then whatever changed about

632
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: college football changed and it seemed to have left Nebraska behind.

633
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: And there is a debate even today about whether Nebraska

634
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: could ever ascend back to the mountaintop. We view their

635
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: mountaintop obviously as the Tom Osborne nineties era Nebraska teams.

636
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: Did you know that there was a period from eight

637
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: to twenty fourteen where they had seven straight nine plus

638
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: win seasons. I don't even think people remember this nationally.

639
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: Nebraska fans probably do. Bo Polini hardly anyone liked as

640
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: a dude, and so they really were willing to overlook

641
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: the fact that he was putting up pretty decent numbers

642
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: as a head coach, but they thought they could do better.

643
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: It's like Dan Mullen at Florida. Numbers were good, they

644
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: thought they could do better, so they got rid of him,

645
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: and they haven't been back there since. They have not

646
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: had a winning record since twenty sixteen. So enter Matt

647
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: Ruhle and Dylan Ryola. They got him to decommit from Georgia,

648
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: so you got the quarterback box checked hopefully on sky

649
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: high on their defense and their defensive staff, like they

650
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: got a really really underrated good defensive staff Mountaintop Ken

651
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Nebraska get back there. I'd love to see it. They're

652
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: over under this year seven and a half wins, so

653
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: it's unlikely that they're, you know, knocking on the door

654
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: of the title game this year, but it would be

655
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: fun and a nice little experiment about the future of

656
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: college football and what isn't isn't possible? Speaking of programs

657
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: that really were getting it done back in the nineties

658
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: and two thousands, Virginia Tech would love to see Virginia

659
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: Tech reassent, So Frank Beamer gets hired there in eighty seven.

660
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: He did not have a six or more win season

661
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: for six years. Would Frank Beemer even be able to

662
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: make it to year seven this day and age, I

663
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: don't think he would. But they hung in there with

664
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: him at Virginia Tech, and so he gets hired in

665
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: eighty seven, doesn't even pop a six or more win

666
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: season on them until what nineteen ninety three, But then

667
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: from ninety five to twenty eleven, here's how the patients

668
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: paid off. They had eight or more wins sixteen of

669
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: those seventeen years. Thirteen of the seventeen years in that

670
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: timeframe they had double digit win seasons. And if you're

671
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: in my high school or college age crowd, you don't

672
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: remember Virginia Tech as being a national powerhouse. Virginia Tech

673
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: was a national powerhouse and it could be again. I

674
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: think that one of the biggest stories in college sports,

675
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: in college football the past couple of decades has been

676
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: the ACC as a collective totally dropping the ball. Clemson

677
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: covered up a lot of really mediocre, below average play

678
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: there because Clemson was carrying the entire torch for the Conference.

679
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: Florida State for a long time, not nearly what they

680
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: should have been. Miami has not been at all what

681
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: they should be. The Virginia schools have dropped the ball fantastically.

682
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: North Carolina should be so much better than they have been,

683
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: but none of them have been. And so Virginia Tech

684
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: would be nice if one or more of them would

685
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: step back on the main stage, because Florida State's doing

686
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 1: their part now, Clemson's been done their part. Brent Prye

687
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: just had a first winning season there since twenty nineteen,

688
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: so early returns are good for the staff. Again, we're

689
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: talking about getting to the mountaintop, like Mike Vick played

690
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: for a national championship at Virginia Tech. Could they ever

691
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: get back there? Time will tell. What about Tennessee, Tennessee,

692
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: nothing's changed about the structure of the sport like it's

693
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: still built for Tennessee. Phil Former won a national title

694
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: there in nineteen ninety eight. He won well. He and

695
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: other coaches won nine or more games fifteen times from

696
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: eighty nine to two thousand and seven. And unlike some

697
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: of these other programs where you think that things have

698
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: to change fundamentally, nothing about college football needs to change.

699
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: Fundamentally for Tennessee to go back to the mountaintop. The

700
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: only thing that's been in Tennessee's wegs Tennessee and occasionally

701
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: a misguided NCAA investigation or two. But By and Lars,

702
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: they've taken care of that. So they dropped the elbow

703
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: in the NC DOUBLEA. But Tennessee could not get out

704
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: of Tennessee's own way for a long time. There is

705
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: nothing about the sport holding them back. One of the

706
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: hottest debates I remember ever having in my radio days

707
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: was I would get a fans sometimes that would call

708
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: in and this is like Derek Dooley era Tennessee, and

709
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: they would be calling and saying, Tennessee just can't win anymore.

710
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: They can't win a national title anymore. The sports passed

711
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: them by. I'm like, what are you talking about. The

712
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: sports passed them by. Nothing changed. It still takes the

713
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: same thing to win today. They still have the same

714
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: resources they always had. It's just that they can't get

715
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: out of their own way. It's really hard to It's

716
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: really hard to have the kind of synergy in place

717
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: that it takes to win at the highest levels. That's

718
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: why you appreciate even when these rich programs were able

719
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: to pull it off. You appreciate it because there are

720
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot of rich programs out there delivering poverty results.

721
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: As me Mal would say, so Tennessee just they were

722
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: secret poverty for a little while. But the resources never were,

723
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: the access to talent never was. Neeland Stadium wasn't any

724
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: less awesome on Saturday because Tennessee was struggling to make

725
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: a bowl game. But they could be back there tomorrow.

726
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: They could be right back there, and they're not that

727
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: far away. The odds to win the SEC championship this year,

728
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: they've got the sixth best odds like, they won't be

729
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: too far down the national championship odds board. They're a

730
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: player now, but taking that next step that would get

731
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: them back into territory. That again, if you're in my

732
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: college age crowd, you've never seen them occupy and you

733
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: knew I wasn't doing this segment without mentioning Miami. Please, Yeah,

734
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: Miami belongs here. Yeah, I'd love to see Miami as

735
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: one of the prime players of college football again. Their

736
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: last national title was in one but oh Friends. From

737
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three to two thousand and three, fourteen of

738
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: those twenty one seasons Miami won double digit games, and

739
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: they have only won one digit season since four. Did

740
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: the structure of the sport change, Not necessarily. It's just

741
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: Miami being in Miami's own way, and if Miami gets

742
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 1: out of Miami's own way, Miami can do special things. Again,

743
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it helped they tore down the Orange

744
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: Bowl either, But you know what I am. I am

745
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: a believer in the Los Angeles Dodgers philosophy of Miami

746
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: home games. You will have to provide the folks a winner.

747
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: But if you do provide them a winner, they will

748
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: show up. They will show up, But unlike some of

749
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: these places with blind loyalty, they are not showing up

750
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: if you're anything less than a winner. The number one

751
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: ingredient in this sport to win at the highest levels

752
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: has always been, and will always be talent. Having the

753
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: ingredients does not guarantee a good meal, but not having

754
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: the ingredients guarantee of starvation. One of my most famous quotes,

755
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: she wasn't talking about Miami, but in this case we're

756
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: talking about Miami. So Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Miami, give

757
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: them to me. Would love to have every single one

758
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: of them back at the party. We're gonna talk about Michigan,

759
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: aren't we. And we're gonna talk about Johnny Manziel. Johnny

760
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: Manziel's is holding the Heisman hostage in a way? Will

761
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: it work? I'll talk to you about it. Hold on,

762
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: we have to take a sip from the chalice. We

763
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: have to reacquire a lip bomb, being very careful with

764
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: the form we use because haters are everywhere waiting to pounce. Uh,

765
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: show me that tweet about Michigan there, Colin, thank you

766
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: so much. Logan from Mount Pleasant, Michigan beautiful this time

767
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: of year, said, Hey, what do you think are Michigan's

768
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: chances of repeating this year? Should we expect anything less? Yeah?

769
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: You should. Michigan's not going to repeat as a national champion.

770
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: Now never say never, So I should tell you FanDuel

771
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: has them with the eighth best odds to win the

772
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: national title. Their over underwin total is nine and a half.

773
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: I think it's totally unrealistic to expect that they would

774
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: be in that mix again this year. Crazier things have happened.

775
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: How wild is it? By the way Michigan played Washington

776
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: for the national championship two months ago. They are numbers

777
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine and one hundred and thirty

778
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: in returning production this upcoming year. Neither head coach is

779
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: still there, neither quarterback. Like obviously everything changed. It's one

780
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: of the great lone star songs in nineties country. Everything's changed,

781
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: and they might as well have been seeing about Seattle

782
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: and Arbor. So JJ McCarthy out, that's your QB one,

783
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: running back one, wide, receivers one and two gone. Vast

784
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: majority of that offensive line, six of the top seven

785
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: are gone. They sent eighteen guys to the combine. It

786
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: usually means that you're gonna be missing a lot of

787
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: talent that did whatever you did with them the previous year.

788
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: Whole new staff as well. So that doesn't mean it's

789
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: the end of the road. Just means that, well, it's

790
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: the end of that road, but it's the start of

791
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: a new one potentially. Just don't know how wide the

792
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: road's going to be, how long the road's going to be.

793
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: Alex Orgy at quarterback. Fascinating, fascinating experiment coming up here.

794
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: I was reading some of Sam web stuff a little

795
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: while ago, just kind of getting engauge on what they

796
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: think about him internally. If they're right about him internally,

797
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: he'll probably surprise a lot of people given how inexperienced

798
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: he is with the grasp that he has on the

799
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: system they run up there. So there's confidence in him internally.

800
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: But that's not the first time we've heard that pre

801
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: spring about guys and then they don't pan out. So

802
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: it's not a guarantee. It's just it's what we have

803
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: to go on right now. But he's inexperienced and he's

804
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: surrounded by inexperience, and that's probably the toughest part of

805
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what Michigan's going to be offensively

806
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: this year. So what are the fair expectations? Man? I

807
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: can't tell you how to think. I'll tell you if

808
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: I was a Michigan fan, I just be hoping not

809
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: to fall off the road into the ditch this year.

810
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: Don't bottom out, you know it. Don't go from winning

811
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: the title to barely making a Bowl game like TCU

812
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of did last year to previous year. Don't have

813
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: that happen. And then whatever you are against Fresno State

814
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: in Texas weeks one and two, make sure you're a

815
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: much better version than that by the time you play

816
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: Northwestern in Ohio State at the end of the year,

817
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: because if that happens, if week over week progression is obvious,

818
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: that means you probably have the right guys in place.

819
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: Sharon Moore right on down the rest of the assistant

820
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: coaching ladder, No, I would be utterly stunned if they

821
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: won a championship this year. I just hope they don't.

822
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: You fall off the map entirely because it's reasonable to

823
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: expect a reset button to get hit for the team.

824
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not program wide and that's where my expectations

825
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: are on Michigan. Right now, they're watching us in Austin, Texas,

826
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: Panama City Beach, Florida, and Manassas, Virginia. Thank you guys

827
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 1: so much. Who's been waiting to talk about this since

828
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: I saw it pop up yesterday? To me a favor.

829
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: If you're watching live or if you're listening to the pod,

830
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: make sure you are subscribed to the channel. Why because

831
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: that is how we make more money and buy Bradley

832
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: the associate lunch every day. So if you want him

833
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: to go hungry, then whatever. Shirk your responsibilities as if

834
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: you were a listener and don't subscribe. I ask that

835
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: you have a heart just twenty twenty four and provide

836
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: Bradley a meal. With just one subscription, you could feed

837
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: a child in need. Boy, oh boy, Johnny Manziel has

838
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: done it. Now. Douglas hit me up and said, how

839
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: do you feel about Johnny Manziel boycotting the Heisman ceremony

840
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: until they let Reggie Bush back into the fold. Well?

841
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: I love it with a capital L love it. Let

842
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I don't talk about the Heisman

843
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: much as you've noticed. I'm not gonna say it's always

844
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: been because of Reggie. I've been turned off for a

845
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: long time because of how they've handled the Reggie Bush thing.

846
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: So when I saw Johnny Manziel say this, I went

847
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: huge fist bump. I got a feeling on this. I

848
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: got a pretty strong feeling. Reggie Bush is gonn end

849
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: up getting that Heisman back. And let me tell you why.

850
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: I got two reasons. Number one, because everyone knows it's

851
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: dumb to begin with. But even if you disagree with

852
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: me on that, and you say no, there are valid reasons,

853
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: what are they? Because I'll tell you what was the

854
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: valid reason the Heisman trust a couple of years ago

855
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: came out and said, we'd be happy to take him

856
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: back if the NC double A reinstates his numbers. But

857
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: when they levied the sanctions against the USC and they

858
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: revoked all the wins, it also revoked Reggie Bush's numbers

859
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: and they found him guilty of impermissible benefits. Yep, got

860
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: you there. You don't need to reschool me on that.

861
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: But in case you haven't noticed, in the language of

862
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: this award, where it says the recipient must be in

863
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: compliance with bylaws defining a student athlete, federal courts have

864
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: totally torched that. It was bs the entire time. Not

865
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: according to JP, according to the federal courts, And so

866
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: the NC double A is not going to change this.

867
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: Like they're on the record as saying we're not going back,

868
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: we're not revisiting old cases. The sanctions that we levied

869
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: out in one model upon a time are there. It

870
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what changed in the future. I get that logic,

871
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: but there's a big difference in saying what once was

872
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 1: illegal is now legal. But if you ran a foul

873
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: of the law when it was illegal, you deserve your punishment.

874
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: We can't retroactively take your punishment away. That's true, unless

875
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: federal courts come along and say no, no, no, no no.

876
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 1: It was always bs. It was always a charade. It

877
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: never was legal. That's why you have class action losses

878
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: being brought against you. So if you're the Heisman trust,

879
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: you can do one of two things. You can either

880
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: hide behind that scapegoat of well, hey, we're happy to

881
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: do it if the NCUBA does it, or you can

882
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: stop waiting for the NC DOUAA to do the right thing.

883
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: You see, my friend, here, you see the skeleton that dude,

884
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: And this is what it looks like when you're waiting

885
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: for the NC DOUBA to do the right thing. Imagine

886
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: waiting for the NC DOUBLEA to do the right thing

887
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to how you hand out your own trophy.

888
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: You don't need the NC DOUBLEA. You never did need

889
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: see the NC DOUBLEA. And it's about as simple a

890
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: win as you can get. Do it because what you

891
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: don't want is what I think is about to happen.

892
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel is not going to be the last guy

893
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: to take this stand. He's the first one. But you

894
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: really think Johnny Manziel is the only guy on that

895
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: stage of Heisman Trophy former winners who feel the way

896
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: they do about Reggie Bush, like you really think that

897
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: you won't have more guys, probably as early as Monday

898
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: of next week, step out and say, yeah, I'm with

899
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel. If we don't overturn this thing. If Reggie

900
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: Bush is not there in December in New York City

901
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: with us on stage, consider me a no show. What's

902
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's gonna happen. So you can either wait

903
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: until the eleventh hour and have egg all over your face,

904
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: or go ahead and do the right thing and overturn

905
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: a decision that should have been overturned a long time ago.

906
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush, by the way, got ninety one point seven

907
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: seven percent of total points in five The only person

908
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: to ever win the Heisman Trophy with a higher point

909
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: total is Joe Burrow. So I think Manziel said Reggie

910
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: Bush is the Heisman Trophy. He pretty much is. He

911
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: pretty much is the definition of the Heisman Trophy. If

912
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: you want to have some fun later tonight and you're

913
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, just go watch the highlights, man, Just

914
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: go watch the highlights. People people I imagine sometimes like

915
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: folks who didn't watch college football or football in general,

916
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: and they just kind of because their buddies are watching

917
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: college football. They just happened to see a game and

918
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: the first thing they see is Reggie Bush and think

919
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,439
Speaker 1: to themselves, whoa college football players are like that? No, no,

920
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: they're not one of them? Is Reggie Bush was one

921
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: of one and belongs on that stage in December. And

922
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: if he's not there, I hope Johnny Manzel is not

923
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: the only one who doesn't show up. That's all I

924
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: have to say about that. Moving on, we went, oh,

925
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: you know what, thank you Colin for putting this up. Bike.

926
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: You're right almost forgot about this. I have a meeting

927
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 1: with the folks at FanDuel this week, and I would

928
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: not be opposed to them issuing just a little prop

929
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: bet low limits the little prop bet. Will Reggie Bush

930
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: ever get that Heisman back? What would the odds be?

931
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to text them that anyway. That is

932
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: the one stop shop. They are the exclusive odds provider

933
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: of our show. We really appreciate FanDuel. I'm meeting with

934
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: them this week to actually discuss more ideas that we

935
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: have for this upcoming season. I think it's gonna be

936
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: really fun. Like we're teetering on getting the green light

937
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: on some ideas that I think will be some of

938
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: the most awesome features that we have on our show.

939
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: That's the benefit of partnering with the biggest online sports

940
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: book in the United States of America. So we really

941
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: appreciate them, proud to partner with them. And right now

942
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to wait. And we got odds on

943
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: the upcoming season. We're gonna have Heisman ods coming up

944
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: if you are inclined to bet such things. We got

945
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: conference championship ods, got early the season individual game odds.

946
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,920

973
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: the show by just peeling the curtain back a little

974
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: bit on something we did last week. Colin, here's a

975
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: good endpoint for you. Oh never mind. We had a question,

976
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: all right, So one of our buddies from Mac and

977
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: Georgia said, Hey, give us the inside scoop on that

978
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: trip to Georgia. How was it like behind the scenes.

979
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: Happy to do so as much as I can. I

980
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: wish so badly that I could take you guys with

981
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: me on some of these trips. I do as much

982
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: as I can with the Instagram story at late kick, Josh,

983
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: but you would not believe the intensity in these places

984
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: Georgia as much as anyone. The intensity in that building

985
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: in late February off the charts. You can't have a

986
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: mail it end day. Think about your place of business,

987
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: wherever you were. You could drive a Pepsi truck for

988
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: all I know. You could work for an insurance company.

989
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: There are days where you show up to work you

990
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: just don't have it, and it's okay, you'll just make

991
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: up for it tomorrow. It doesn't exist there. It doesn't

992
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: exist there. Everyone's walking a tight rope every single minute

993
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: of every day. Everyone's moving in the facility with the

994
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: exact same purpose. It's like I love trains. It's like

995
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: watching a freight train moved by it sixty miles an hour,

996
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: and every car is going to the exact same direction

997
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: and exact same destination in mine, but the city you

998
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: would expect in the middle of a game week in

999
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: October or November. It's like that year round. It's like

1000
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: that year round. The only two places that I've ever

1001
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: felt it to that degree are Bama under Saban, Georgia

1002
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: under Smart. Obviously a lot of connectivity there, a lot

1003
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: of connective tissue, and a lot of the folks at

1004
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 1: one place have worked at the other place. It's amazing.

1005
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: It's amazing. You feel a heightened sense of awareness, even

1006
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: though like I'm not on the staff, I have nothing

1007
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: to do with our operation. But when you're in the

1008
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: building doing work of your own, just in that environment,

1009
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: just being plugged in that environment and immersed in that

1010
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of culture, even for a day, it impacts you.

1011
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: Not in a negative way either. The links and the

1012
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: detail that they go to for their culture building stand

1013
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: out to me a whole lot. I won't delve into details,

1014
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: because a lot of that stuff we get access to

1015
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: with the trade off that we shut our mouths about it,

1016
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: but just suffice it to say, when you watch them

1017
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: in the fall, it's not an accident the way they play.

1018
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: They got really talented football players, they got the best

1019
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff in the SEC. But the culture's rock solid too.

1020
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: That's why if you'll remember this time last year, there

1021
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: were some negative headlines about the program. They had problems

1022
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: with like street racing, and they had had tragedy happen

1023
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, and then subsequently they had some

1024
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: guys get in trouble, which they handled internally. But there

1025
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: was a certain publication in the state that came out

1026
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: and accused them of a lot of stuff that was false,

1027
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 1: and the people responsible for that has since been fired.

1028
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: That's how false it was. But the accusation of them

1029
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,479
Speaker 1: having a culture problem, they took it really personally because

1030
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: they didn't have one. They had problems, but it wasn't

1031
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: a culture, It wasn't rooted in bad culture. The reason

1032
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: they took it so personal is because they've actually been

1033
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: as aggressive as any prog out there in installing culture

1034
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: building in the positive direction, and you see it when

1035
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: you go in there. It's just most people don't get

1036
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: that access, but it's pretty impressive. And you're talking about

1037
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: taking time away from football activities to do that stuff too.

1038
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: You don't get to add hours in the day. You

1039
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: got to decide we're reallocating because that stuff's that important.

1040
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: The staff churn, we got to see it. We got

1041
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: to see it because when I was over there last week,

1042
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: it's right when Dell McGee had left, the running backs

1043
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: coach had left to take the head coaching job at

1044
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 1: Georgia State. Now they love that, they love that. I mean,

1045
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:41,479
Speaker 1: most of these big time programs have support staffs where

1046
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: virtually every guy wants to either be a coordinator or

1047
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: head coach one day. They're all alphas. That's how they hire.

1048
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: That's the makeup of most of those staffs. George is

1049
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: no different. So, I mean, everyone is ecstatic for Dell McGee,

1050
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: former coach at Carver of Columbus down there in my backyard.

1051
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: But when those coaches leave, they know how good your

1052
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: building is and they want to take as many guys

1053
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: in that building as they can. And that's always a fun,

1054
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: little delicate balance to observe of. We're happy to help

1055
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: the guy off to his next job. And then as

1056
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: soon as he gets it, hey, don't look back here.

1057
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: You don't want any of these guys. No, No, you

1058
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: go hire from somewhere else. And it's it's delicate. It's delicate,

1059
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: And got to observe a little bit of that last week.

1060
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 1: But that's college football, man. That happens everywhere. The misconception

1061
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: also of whining versus legit concern. It's something we touched

1062
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: on the Curby when we talk to him, and it's

1063
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: something that every time I talk with coaches it's always reinforced.

1064
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 1: Is right now? Parts of the sport are a mess,

1065
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: and so a lot of coaches are complaining about it.

1066
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: Complaining sometimes is all is misconstrued across the board is whining.

1067
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: And the thinking obviously is well, you get paid a

1068
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 1: lot of money, deal with it, which on one hand

1069
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: is an understandable latitude. But on the other hand, what

1070
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: I try and emphasize, because of the guys that we're

1071
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: around are talking to a lot is no, a lot

1072
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: of them aren't whining. In fact, a lot of them

1073
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of love the grind, like they're happy to embrace that.

1074
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: They're not looking for you to take work off of

1075
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: their plate or anything. Like that. Kirby put it really

1076
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: well last week. He said, I don't care about the

1077
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: rest of it. If I could just know who's on

1078
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 1: my team for a year, that'd be fine. Everything else

1079
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: will deal with it. It's hard work, it's what we

1080
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: get paid for. If you could just tell me who's

1081
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna be on my team for that year, not four years,

1082
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: that year, I'd be okay. I agree with him. That's

1083
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: not the that's not the boldest ask, that's not the

1084
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: tallest ask in the world to just want to know

1085
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: who's on your team. And there are a million different

1086
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: loopholes and a bunch of red tape around that statement.

1087
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: But from ten thousand feet I think it's pretty valid.

1088
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: There's not. There wasn't a lot of man I wish

1089
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: that install another dead man. I wish I could take

1090
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,439
Speaker 1: another vacation. It wasn't anything like that. Some of these dudes,

1091
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: if they had more vacation, would still come into the

1092
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: office because that's just the nomadic lifestyle they live. So

1093
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: I thought some valid concerns were raised and some tangible

1094
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: reasons were given on that front. And I will also

1095
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: tell you guys this now, mainly Georgia fans will care

1096
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: about this. Georgia just landed the number one recruiting class

1097
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: in the country. You know that got some guys out

1098
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: of the portal. You know that Ben You're a SEC

1099
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: is a tight end from Stanford. I keep an eye

1100
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: on him. I think they like him a lot, and

1101
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: therefore I think I like him a lot. So just

1102
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the old tight end from Stanford.

1103
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: He was banged up last year, had a little shoulder issue,

1104
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: I think, so it didn't put up big numbers last year,

1105
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: but they got him in there, and obviously they've got

1106
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: a deep tight end room already, but that one's a

1107
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: little bit different, little bit different skill set, So just

1108
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: keep an eye on him. Being You're a SEC. All right.

1109
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: That's our show tonight. I appreciate it so much. We'll

1110
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: have a full mail bag podcast come in your way

1111
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: sometime Tuesday. We'll be back here for Late Kick Live

1112
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night. We had about as varied a show tonight

1113
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: as we could have. We went in every single direction imaginable.

1114
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: We do it all year. We do not take vacations.

1115
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: There's no off season. If you enjoy it, you don't

00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: covering college football, don't complain about it, but then have

1121
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: alternatives available out there and not support it. Now, if

1122
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: it's us you're complaining about, I don't have much to

Speaker 1: tell you. You're sorry, I guess. But if you enjoyed the
