1
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: All right, welcome man. Late Kick is live. It is

2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: Sunday night. It is April twenty sixth, the year of

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: Our Lord, twenty twenty. We are so so so jam

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: packed tonight. We're gonna waste no time. We've got the

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: Bulls documentary coming on in right at an hour from now.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: If you're watching the live show, please hit the thumb

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: up button, get us over fifty and get us trending

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: in the YouTube live section. I've got news about the

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: podcast that I have promised was coming at the end

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: of the show, so stay tuned for that. And I've

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: also got several things to touch on tonight. A great,

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: great piece by our own Bud Elliott. I'm actually gonna

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: lead the show kind of catapulting off, for lack of

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: a better term, of a piece that he put out

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: about the G five, and I want to kind of

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: juxtapose it to the arguments made about including the G

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: five and the College Football Playoff recruiting against the SEC

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: negative recruiting. It's the SEC, especially in lieu of the

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: draft results that we just saw. That's something Kirby Smart's

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: been talking about. I'm going to talk about it too.

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Jake from this perception amongst some that Jake From fell.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: See these quotations if you're listening to the podcast, I'm

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: very sarcastically doing the air quotes fell in the draft.

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Jake From didn't fall anywhere. He went right where he

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: was supposed to go. What does that mean though? About

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: the Georgia offense. I don't care about so much the

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: draft where Jake From went. Is he going to disappear

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? Will he be a career backup? I'm not

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: talking about Jake From so much. Tonight. I am going

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to talk about what that means in retrospect as it

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: relates to a lot of what was said about the

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Georgia offense this past year and moving forward. And I'm

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: also going to give you a little sneak peek about

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: what about two minutes Colin Worth of a conversation that

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: we had with Notre Dames Brian Kelly. We're going to

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: debut that Tuesday, but I'm going to play a little

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: sneak preview of it for you tonight. I had him

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: go pretty in depth on their recruiting blueprint. Pretty fascinating stuff.

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I think you'll like it. All that and if we

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: have time about two or three Q and as so

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Some very revealing numbers I think

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: we can all agree from this past weekend's NFL draft

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: as it relates to the continued dominance of the SEC

44
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: and Power five versus G five and all that. And

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to waste time making this a Southeastern

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Conference infomercial. You guys all know those stats already. But

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, and I tweeted this out

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: a couple of times over the weekend, including about an

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: hour or two before we went on air tonight, is

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about a really good article that

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: our own Bud Elliott put out. Now, as I was

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: watching the draft, we have our own Slack channels for

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty four seven Sports, and Bud drops in there and

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: he says, way, do you guys see this stat that

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I just uncovered. And he's doing a lot of work.

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: They're trying to pump out a lot of articles and whatnot,

57
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: trying to capitalize on draft traffic, which they did a

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: very good job of. And so he includes me in

59
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: the raw word document or pages document, whatever file is

60
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: you used, And so I got to see it before

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: he published it, and I said, man, I got to

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: lead the show with this. I think I tweeted it

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: out Friday. I mean, I'm leading late kick with this.

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: And so what I want to do is I want

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: to briefly reset my position so that we're all clear

66
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: on where I stand here. I do not believe in

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: college football playoff expansion for and no more. If there

68
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: is expansion, which even I have to admit to you,

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: seems inevitable. I don't have to be for it, but

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: it seems inevitable if there is expansion. I am not

71
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: for auto bids. I'm not for guaranteeing a Power five

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: conference champion a seat at the table. So I'm certainly

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: not in favor of guaranteeing any G five champion or

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: otherwise a seat at the table. I'll go a step further.

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe in spots for the G five period

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: at the college football playoff table. Now I'm going to

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: make the argument for that in just a second, because

78
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: it sounds really exclusionary and unfair in some ways. Maybe

79
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: it is. I just don't think it's my problem. I

80
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: think the G five should have its own separate playoff.

81
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: That is my stance. Okay, Now, the rebuttals. Anytime that

82
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: I've gone down this road, the rebubbals are always well,

83
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: if the G five had its own playoff, and I'm

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: just accumulating the ones I saw this weekend given to

85
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, if the G five had its own playoff,

86
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be able to remain financially viable. Again, probably true.

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's true, actually, but let's say

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: it's true. Whose problem is that? Is it someone else's

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: job to subsidize you? I don't necessarily know that I

90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: agree with that. The second rebuttal, how would they get

91
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: by without the cash infusion that they get from playing

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: in the New Year six games. I never said exclude

93
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: them from the New Year six games. I just said

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: exclude them from the college football playoff conversation. The G

95
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: five deserves to be in. They've proven. Now this is

96
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: the one. This is always the go to. This is

97
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: the one that I just want to rip the shreds.

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: The G five deserves to be in. And what is

99
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: the argument. Commonly, it's because they've proven they can play

100
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: with power five teams on the field any given day.

101
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: And guess what, You're dead on the money, right, and

102
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: guess what it doesn't matter. Number one, No, you have

103
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: not ever proven as a G five team that you

104
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: can play with the power five team in a playoff setting.

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: But number two, even if you did, Guys, that's never

106
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: been the argument. And this is where I want to

107
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: bring up Bud Elliott's piece. That's never been the argument,

108
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: at least from people that I'm in a camp with.

109
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: It's never been the argument that if Central Florida were

110
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: to get in a semi final matchup against Alabama, they

111
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be competitive. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't,

112
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: But that's never been my argument. I don't care about

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: what you can do in one game. I care about

114
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: the journey it takes to get there. I care about

115
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: the challenge that you have to go up against to

116
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: get there. So I want to bring in Bud Elliott's

117
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: piece here, and what he did was essentially he was

118
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: just accumulating. I'm going to start with a rolling four

119
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: year average, and this is really looking at first round

120
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: talent taken in the draft. Okay, there's no surprise here.

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any shocking stat A rolling four

122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: year average, writes Bud, can help show the declining contribution

123
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: of the G five schools in the first round of

124
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, and sure enough, precipitously, the amount of

125
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: G five players being taken in the first round declines

126
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: every year. It was eighty seven percent of first rounders

127
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: being from Power five schools twenty eleven to twenty fourteen,

128
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen to twenty twenty. The latest four year period,

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: ninety two percent of players taken in the first round

130
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: are from Power five schools SEC ACC, Big ten, Big twelve,

131
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. Now that's obvious, Okay, no one was going

132
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: to argue, Hey, most of the talent in the first

133
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: round is in the Power five. But then I want

134
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: to continue, and I want you to listen to this part,

135
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: specifically the talent flight to the Power five via conference expansion.

136
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Here's why I want you to listen to this because

137
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: another one of the rebuttals that I get a lot

138
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: of times is well, we're never going to be allowed

139
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: into this club. It's very exclusionary. They won't let us in.

140
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: And that's an interesting rebuttal because I ask how TCU

141
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: get in? Where'd West Virginia come from? How's Rutgers at

142
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: this table? Syracuse, Pittsburgh Louisville. How they get in here,

143
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: pause and let's continue. Bud rights. The numbers in the

144
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: first round do roughly match up with some of the

145
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: best G five teams joining Power five leagues through conference expansion,

146
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: and they are not being replaced by similar quality teams

147
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: in the G five ranks. Now, the teams he's talking

148
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: about here, Utah going to the PAC twelve TCU in

149
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: West Virginia joining the Big twelve, Pitt and Sarahcuse in

150
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: the ACC, Rutgers to a lesser degree in the Big ten,

151
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: and Louisville in twenty fourteen they started in the ACC.

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: So there's a perception first off, before I get to

153
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: my main point that I want to knock down here

154
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: like a pinata, the perception is, okay, maybe there's a gap,

155
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: But those G five teams any given year, they're closing

156
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: the gap. No, they're not. They're not at all. There

157
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: may be a blip on the radar screen like a

158
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Boise State or a UCF, and they are the exception

159
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: to the rule. But when it comes to the top

160
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: of the Power five closing it all, guys, the gap

161
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: is very much widening here. Now I get to more

162
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: of the money quotes. I'm not done talking about that

163
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: gap yet, but I want to get to the money

164
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: quotes because that GAP's far wider than it looks. I

165
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: want you to consider what I'm about to read and

166
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: tell me what this has to do with who should

167
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: make the playoff. So I'm going to tie the two together.

168
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Conference expansion among Power five teams has made the Group

169
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: of five weaker than ever before from a talent perspective.

170
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: And then Bud continues, and this was the hammer since

171
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: the final Power five expansion, which is a few years ago.

172
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Let's start with the twenty fifteen draft. Every single Power

173
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: five conference has had more picks in the first round

174
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: than the rest of the Group of five combined. At

175
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: this point, we're not talking about the SEC. The SEC

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: has had sixty one first round picks since the twenty

177
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: fifteen draft. The ACC it's second with thirty three. But

178
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: let's not even talk about that. The Big Twelve has

179
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: been by far the lowest performing Power five conference when

180
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: it comes to sending kids in the first round. The

181
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: Big Twelve has only sent fifteen kids in the first

182
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: round since twenty fifteen. It's not a good number, is it. Well,

183
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: pause and let me read you this American Athletic Conference

184
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: six Mountain West four Conference USA two. The entire MAC

185
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: has sent one. Add them all up, and it still

186
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: does an equal the amount of teams that the worst

187
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: Power five conference has sent. And so what does all

188
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: this mean. Let's go back to the argument that I

189
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: said was given all the time. The argument that's given

190
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: all the time is, Okay, maybe the schedules aren't comparable,

191
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: and maybe UCF, for example, does have a lighter load

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: to bear in the regular season, but they've shown Boise

193
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: State has shown fill in the blank team any given

194
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: year has shown in the past if they're given the

195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: opportunity on a neutral field, any one given Saturday or

196
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: whatever night they play the semi final games or big

197
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: time Bowl games, any given night, any given four quarter stretch,

198
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: they can compete and they can win. Sure, Cam, it's

199
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: never been the argument. I want you to think about

200
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: what it takes to get there, because the argument has

201
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: always been what are you exposed to? How many risks

202
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: does your schedule force you to take? How many violent

203
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: collisions does your schedule force you to take? How many

204
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: elite athletes, maybe even on teams that are going to

205
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: eventually go seven to five, but can batter your roster

206
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: in the process of you beating them? Are you forced

207
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: to compete against? Consider Texas A and M. This year,

208
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Texas A and M, by my math, probably faced more

209
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: draft eligible players, players that were eventually going to be drafted.

210
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: They probably faced more this year alone than some of

211
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: these teams will face in a three decade stretch. They're

212
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: not even playing the same sport, is what I'm telling you.

213
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Whatever you're capable of come season's end, in any four

214
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: quarter stretch is because you haven't been beaten into oblivion.

215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: And that's always been the cry. The cry is not

216
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: what are you capable of in any one game? The

217
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: cry is Texas A and M. The reason I bring

218
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: them up is they weren't even on the verge of

219
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: being in the conversation this year. I think they lost

220
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: four or five games. Whatever the case was, Texas A

221
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: and M's probably favored against a minimum eleven games of

222
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Central Florida's schedule this year. What does it mean, Well,

223
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: it means that the caliber of team isn't so much

224
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 1: the variable here, it's the schedule. And you got to

225
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: ask yourself this too. You play teams down here that

226
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: have several future NFL players on their schedule. I'm not

227
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: just talking about in the SEC, and they may end

228
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: up going eight and four. Texas A and M is

229
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: a perfect example. Would you rather have played them? I

230
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: asked a coach off the record, of course, and this

231
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: I think would surprise a lot of you. Didn't surprise me.

232
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: I asked a coach, would you rather face? This was

233
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: a playoff caliber team. Coach was on would you rather

234
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: face Texas A and M? Or would your other face

235
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Memphis this year? And the answer, without hesitation was Memphis

236
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: doesn't sound right, doesn't Memphis was a team that in

237
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: any given year as of late, is pushing for one

238
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: of those G five automatic bids. They're a double digit

239
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: win team. Texas A and M wasn't even the playoff conversation.

240
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Here's what that coach knew that beat either one of

241
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: those teams, but in the process that lose two or

242
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: three guys playing against Texas A and M. Because Texas

243
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: A and M has a bunch of six four and

244
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: a half three hundred and fifteen pound guys that can

245
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: run sideline to sideline and the collisions even though they're

246
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: going to go seven and five, don't make your training

247
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: room any less full the following morning. You have to

248
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: pay the price when you play a Power five schedule

249
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: that you don't necessarily get asked to pay if you

250
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: play a G five schedule. That was tougher to say

251
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: than I thought it was going to be. So here's

252
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: the final synopsis that Bud put in this piece. I

253
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: thought it was really good to conclude with this. He

254
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: kind of asked, transfer portal, what's the transfer portal going

255
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: to do here? Because there are a lot of folks,

256
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: erroneously in my opinion, that believe now that the transfer

257
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: portal is this revolving door, and eventually it's thought to

258
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: be a matter of when, not if, legislation will be

259
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: passed that makes anyone eligible to transfer one time without

260
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: having to sit out blah blah blah. So a lot

261
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: of people would suggest to you, Okay, once we get

262
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: that legislation enacted, then all of a sudden, a lot

263
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: of players who don't start for Power five teams are

264
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: going to find their way to G five rosters. And

265
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: that's what's going to close the gap. I'm telling you

266
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: it's not. This is what Bud writes, becoming transfer portal

267
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: rule relaxations help to change the disparity in these numbers

268
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: a bit, perhaps, But it's also possible, and he's dead

269
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: on the money here, that the best of the players

270
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: from the G five might look to move up to

271
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: the Power five to finish their careers. It's going to

272
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: be a net loss for you at the G five level,

273
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: I am telling you, because for every kid who can't

274
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: crack the two deep, or maybe can't crack the starting

275
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: lineup at Clemson or Oklahoma State or Texas, you're going

276
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: to have kids that as freshmen wouldn't have made much

277
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: of an impact at Auburn, but as juniors and seniors,

278
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: maybe late developers, late bloomers athletically and physically, all of

279
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're playing at Tulsa and they walked in

280
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: the program at six foot, one hundred and seventy five pounds,

281
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, they're a six three,

282
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and five pound receiver with sub four or

283
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: five speed, and all of a sudden, Auburn had want

284
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: that kid. Those kids will look to elevate to finish

285
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: their careers, and that's the way that that's going to

286
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: play out. I can almost promise you it's not going

287
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: to be this great, big leap in potential athleticism in

288
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: an edge that you didn't have previously, whereas now you

289
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: have it at the G five. The power five is

290
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: always going to win in that equation. So I thought

291
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: that was a really good piece by Bud. And it's

292
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: all numbers, it's all fact, it's all data, and you

293
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: can interpret it any way you want to. But every

294
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: argument that I get back in my face, that includes

295
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: needing to involve the G five in the playoff picture,

296
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: in the playoff table, is all based on feeling and emotion.

297
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: There is no data. There is no logic based argument

298
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: that's ever presented to me that makes any sense. It's all, well,

299
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: it's not nice to keep them out. It's not fair,

300
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's not right. Well, who writes the rule book?

301
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: Who decides that? And by the way, this table you

302
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: guys talk about, some of you talk about all the time,

303
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: where just the elites hang out and they don't ever

304
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: let anyone in their club, Well, that argument number one

305
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: is blown to smithereens. When you talk about UTAH or

306
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: TCU or West Virginia, these aren't programs in New York

307
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: or La or Miami, San Francisco. These aren't just medium

308
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: market overrides. You can come in here, maybe Rutgers, but

309
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: the other ones, the Morgantown, West Virginia TV market and

310
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: surrounding area. You're telling me that's why West Virginia got

311
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: invited to the club. What about Louisville? What about Utah?

312
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: Do they really need Salt Lake Cities TV viewing market

313
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: at the table in order to prop their coffers up

314
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: even more than they already are. No, there's a way

315
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: to get in here. But you got to understand something.

316
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: These folks who built the table, and these folks who

317
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: created this entire climate with in some cases tradition and

318
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: investment and just carrying a great deal emotionally about programs

319
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: that extend over one hundred years back. Sometimes, believe it

320
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: or not, they're very hesitant to watch a program that

321
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: just popped up out of nowhere in the last five

322
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: years and say, yeah, come on in, have an equal

323
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: seat at the table that we had to take seventy

324
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: five years to reserve ours at. That's not the way

325
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: that works. It's not the way that it would work

326
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: if the roles were reversed. Nor should it. So you

327
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: talk about fair, I could counter that argument. I could

328
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: counter if things were truly fair, they wouldn't even give

329
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: you the time of day. At least they're willing to

330
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: somewhat acknowledge that you belong here. But I'll tell you this,

331
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: as we move on, I've already spent too much time

332
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: on this. I will tell you this. We read two

333
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago where an anonymous athletic director at a G

334
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: five school sort of floated this eye idea of a

335
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: class action anti trust lawsuit if when there's a playoff expansion,

336
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: the Power five doesn't allow them to have an auto

337
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: bid into that dance. And see, that's all in a

338
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of a vacuumed chamber, and it's not acknowledging that.

339
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: If you want to throw that anti trust language out there,

340
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot of folks at this level are able to

341
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: counter with just peeling that NCAA sticker off their helmets

342
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: and walking away entirely. And there goes the wallet with them.

343
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: So careful, don't rock that boat too much, would be

344
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: my advice. All right, let's move on here. Kirby Smart

345
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: was very vocal this week. Kirby Smart, I believe, went

346
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: on the Paul Finebomb Show, and he was very vocal

347
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: about people negatively recruiting against the SEC. Now, I'm not

348
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: going to make you or waste your time. I'm not

349
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: going to waste your time at all trying to get

350
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: you to shed tears for the South Eastern Conference. I

351
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: am talking about this for a couple of minutes tonight

352
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: because I've witnessed it, and so I have some firsthand

353
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: knowledge here. Firstly, what Kirby Smart alleged on that show

354
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: this week, I can confidently tell you happens. I have

355
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: spoken to kids myself who have echoed the same to me.

356
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: This happens. What is this I'll tell you in just

357
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: a second. But I've heard it from players themselves. So

358
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't just echo Kirby Smart here. I'm telling you firsthand,

359
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: I've seen this happen. Here's what Kirby Smart said on

360
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: the Paul Fine Bombs Show this week. He's talking about

361
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: programs and negatively recruiting against the SEC. That's not the

362
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: way nflgms are looking at it. That's not the way

363
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: the NFL coaches are looking at it. This is Kirby

364
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: Smart talking. They want to take kids that want to

365
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: compete at the highest level. They want to go and

366
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: play in those big time matchups. And that's what kids want.

367
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: They want to go play in the biggest games, biggest pieces.

368
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: That is what they aspire to do. So for coach

369
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: in another conference to sell, hey, it might be an

370
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: easier path to come here and go this way, it

371
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: just speaks volumes. All right, what do we think about this?

372
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think. This works on some kids.

373
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't knock a kid for going anywhere he wants

374
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: to for his reasons. You go to Oregon, Southern col Georgia, Clemson.

375
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't care where you go. It's your lives. Even

376
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: if I did care, who cares that I care? It's

377
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: your decision, it's not mine. But I can tell you

378
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: that this works on some kids. There are some kids

379
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: who are drawn. Maybe they grew up in the South,

380
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they want to go to an SEC program and

381
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: someone gets in their ear. Recruiting is all about planting seeds.

382
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: It is all about harvesting. Everyone's trying to plant their seeds,

383
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: and you hope that the top soil is not only fertile,

384
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: but it is a very advantageous situation for your seed

385
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: to grow. Specifically, and if you plant seeds in someone's

386
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: mind that you're going to get beat to death in

387
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: this conference, and hey, you can still compete for championships

388
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: here and maybe have a lot easier road. Sometimes that

389
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: manifests itself in you getting a really good player. Now,

390
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, The great programs don't have

391
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: to do this. The great ones get you to come

392
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: play for them because of them, the second tier types

393
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: and the Tier B and Tier CRE recruiters, in other words,

394
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: the ones that can't sell their program, then they have

395
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: to pull the other guy out of their bock pocket.

396
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: And if if I can't land you with our merit,

397
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: then I'm just going to negatively recruit against whoever it

398
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: is we're going up against and hope to win you

399
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: by default lesser of two evils here. I've never really

400
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: been a big fan of that approach. I've never really

401
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: been a big fan of coaches who feel the need

402
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: to have to use that approach, not mentioning anyone specifically

403
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: here for a very specific reason. Let's continue. I can

404
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: tell you this, and this is why I don't think

405
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: it bothers. It bothers Folks like Smart and Saban and

406
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: whoever else is feels like they've been affected by this.

407
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: It bothers them in a way. It's never fun to

408
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: lose a kid. But I can tell you this, I've

409
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: had coaches telling me in the long run, it benefits

410
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: us sometimes that this does happen. This is not even

411
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: exclusive to the SEC. Expand it out. You don't think

412
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: Clemson occasionally loses out on a kid because their depth

413
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: chart is used against them negatively. You don't think that Oklahoma,

414
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: or Ohio State or Penn State. You don't think they

415
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: ever occasionally lose out on a kid because someone comes

416
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: in and says you may not start there for a

417
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: little while. You know, they're different pitches that can be

418
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: used negatively against you. Kirby Smart's just telling you, hey,

419
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm in the SEC. We've had some coaches tell kids, boy,

420
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: it's a brutal path in the SEC. Why don't you

421
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: come here? You can still achieve the same thing, but

422
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: not risk injury as much. Just telling you there are

423
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 1: different ways to go about it. But ultimately ask yourself this.

424
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: If you're recruiting like Ohio State right now, for example,

425
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: just take Ryan Day, Ohio State, may Land the best

426
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: class of all time Ryan Day's recruiting and they're in

427
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: it for a kid. And let's say someone comes along,

428
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: maybe not necessarily in the top five conversation every year,

429
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe a fringe Top twenty type program,

430
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: and they tell a kid, you could go to Ohio State,

431
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: but if you come here, you're virtually guaranteed to start.

432
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: If that appeals to a kid, and that is in

433
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: the seesaw battle, that is a recruitment, the straw that

434
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: tips the edge in your opponent's favor. Ultimately, sometimes it's

435
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: a natural filtration process. When you consider what it takes

436
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: to start at Ohio State, it takes sort of a

437
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: dog's mentality to start at Ohio State to ever crack

438
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: the too deep at a place like Columbus, Ohio, or

439
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa or Clemson, South Carolina. To ever start for those programs,

440
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: you got to be the best of the best on

441
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: planet Earth physically and mentally. Because there are a lot

442
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: of guys. These programs don't recruit them if they don't

443
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: have the physical tools that could eventually be molded into

444
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: elite physical skill. But if you're c plus from the

445
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: neck up, if you're soft, if you're constantly looking for

446
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: the shortcut. A lot of times these programs will tell

447
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: you if we lose out on you on the recruiting trail,

448
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to find out then than two

449
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: years into your tenure here when you're taking up a

450
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: roster spot and we know you're never going to be

451
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: able to contribute. So a lot of times these programs

452
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: lose these big time recruitments because those kinds of pitches,

453
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: and it ultimately ends up being a good thing for him.

454
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: But what does it say about your program if you

455
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: have to use those tactics, Because I'll tell you this,

456
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: I don't care. You run your program how you want to,

457
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: but you have to choose a lame because as sure

458
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: as I'm sitting here, the same folks who Kirby Smart's

459
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: talking about here, who I can tell you are out

460
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: there who pitch kids on the recruiting trail and say,

461
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: don't go there, man, the schedule's brutal, you risk injury.

462
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 1: Come here. It's not nearly as cannibalistic our schedules, not

463
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: nearly the grind that there is is. And you can

464
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: still make it to the NFL. You can play for

465
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: a national championship, you can either say that or at

466
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: the end of the year you can tout your strength

467
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: of schedule. You can't do both. You can't recruit against

468
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: SEC teams in the off season and say come here,

469
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: it's easier, and then go through the regular season, get

470
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: to playoff selection time and go on TV and try

471
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: and talk about how tough your schedule was. You can't

472
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: do both of those, and right now we may have

473
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: some people that are trying to do that the best

474
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: that I'll say you can't. Also, by the way, the

475
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: other thing that we get thrown at us a lot

476
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: SEC bias, And I told you last week we absolutely

477
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: have it on this show for a reason, same reason

478
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: those NFL general managers had SEC bias this last week,

479
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: same reason you have SEC bias. We get the TV

480
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: ratings every Monday morning, everyone's got it because they're the best.

481
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: That's it. Same reason I was biased for USC in

482
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, two thousand and three four because

483
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: they were the best at the time. My bias flows

484
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: where the elite action is so right now it's in

485
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: the SEC. But SEC bias nevertheless is thrown out all

486
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: the time. You can't claim SEC bias every weekend. But

487
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: then go out on the recruiting trail and tell kids

488
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: the SEC is two good man. You go down there.

489
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: You got to play good players every week. You got

490
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: to play good teams every week. You may never get

491
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: to play for a college football playoff spot or national championship.

492
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Come here roads a lot easier. We'll still develop you.

493
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, YadA, YadA YadA, But you don't have

494
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: to take as much risk. Well, you are knocking down

495
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: your own SEC bias argument because you just portrayed it

496
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: right there in your recruiting pitch. Got to pick a

497
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: lame one way or the other. Can't have it both ways. Boy,

498
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: there was something that happened that got a lot of

499
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: you have been out of shape over NFL Draft weekend,

500
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: wasn't there A lot of folks love Jake From. I

501
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: don't have anything against Jake From. I was on the

502
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: field at Notre Dame Stadium when he had to an

503
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: impromptu fashion make his college debut. Remember, Jacob Easton got

504
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: hurt in Game one. So Jake from takes the field

505
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: in South Bend and leads Georgia to a very very

506
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: close victory on the road at Notre Dame. Think about

507
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: driving around. Sometimes driving around I live in Nashville right now, Sometimes,

508
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: especially these days, because there's nothing else to do. Sometimes

509
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: I'll just kind of drive out in the country during

510
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: the afternoon. I also have to learn my bearings around here,

511
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: so that's another reason I'm driving back the other day.

512
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: There's a detour. I can't see any construction going on.

513
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: It makes no sense to me. It took me twenty

514
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: minutes out of my way. I was not happy about

515
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: it at all, and I never found out what the

516
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: detour was for. I just have to assume that it

517
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: was valid. I have to assume that construction workers weren't

518
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: just trying to hamper my schedule. Ninety eight percent of

519
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: the time, you never find out the context of the detour.

520
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: Think about Georgia football this past year. And I want you, specifically,

521
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: speaking of Notre Dame, to think about this past year's

522
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: Notre Dame game. It was the return trip they went

523
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame in twenty seventeen. Notre Dame comes to

524
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Athens in twenty nineteen. You Georgia fans remember this game,

525
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: of course you do. It was big, It was a

526
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: very memorable atmosphere. Do you guys remember what the talk

527
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: was afterwards. You won it. You didn't cover very close

528
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: game quote unquote, a lot closer than the experts thought

529
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: it was going to be. You got the win, but

530
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: there was an argument afterwards. And the argument and I

531
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: was very very passionate on the other side of most

532
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: of you. You argued that your play calling offensively in

533
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: this game was too conservative, and you argued that you

534
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: made things a lot harder on you than it needed

535
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: to be. And I argued on the other side, I said,

536
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: I think it was a brilliantly called and brilliantly handled

537
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: game because Kirby Smart and his staff know exactly what

538
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: they have, way better than most of you do, way

539
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: better than all of you do, let's be honest. And

540
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: they called the game in the manner that they thought

541
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: best suited them to win the game, and that's what

542
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: they did, and they won the game, and there was

543
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: never a whole lot of fear about Georgia not winning

544
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: that game. Well, what have we learned since then, Because

545
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: just like the dtour ninety eight percent of the time,

546
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: I said, you never find out the context. You never

547
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: find out why that dtour was there. I think there's

548
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: some context being provided to us right now. Did you

549
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: watch the NFL draft? Did you see Jake From fall

550
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: to the fifth round? And I use fall in a

551
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: very intentional manner. No one falls in the draft. They're

552
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: just drafted where they get drafted. It doesn't matter what

553
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: a magazine says. It doesn't matter how much the media

554
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: was in love with you before the season. Nothing you

555
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: say at SEC media days, unless you admit to having

556
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: a body in your trunk, is really going to impact

557
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: what happens in the draft. Several months later. You are

558
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: who you are as a player. The thing is, sometimes

559
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: people get fooled, and they get fooled by how charming

560
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: you are, how smart you are, how relatable you are,

561
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: how clean cut an image you have. None of these

562
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: are bad things. They just don't really have all that

563
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: much to do with where you're going to get drafted.

564
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: What do we know now, though maybe that we didn't know.

565
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: Let's say that Saturday in Athens. What we know is

566
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: you had an awesome home field atmosphere that night. You

567
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: had a very smart quarterback there in Jake From who

568
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: lacks elite physical traits. You had an elite defense on

569
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: the field. Your opponent in Notre Dame was not with

570
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: the ability to capitalize offensively. They were not going to

571
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: move up and down the field. They did not possess

572
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: explosive elements offensively. You had a sizeable overall roster advantage.

573
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: You add all that stuff up. Remember physical limitations is

574
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. How would you manage that game? All

575
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: those ingredients? Put him in the pot? Pour it out?

576
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: What gives you the best chance to win? Now we

577
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: get context. Now you know. Now you see what the

578
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: thirty two NFL general managers and their army of scouting

579
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: departments thought about Jake From none of them, not a

580
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: single one out of thirty two, viewed him as worth

581
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: any more than a fifth round selection. But preview magazines

582
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: told you that you had a first round caliber quarterback

583
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: on your roster, and so it just boggled your mind

584
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: how Georgia wouldn't be ultra aggressive in their passing game.

585
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart and James Coley, whom he never criticized as

586
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: much as you guys did, take note, looked at their

587
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: same roster, knowing it much better than you, and said,

588
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: the only way we're probably going to lose this game

589
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: is if we take risks through the air, and they didn't,

590
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: and they manage their roster in the best way that

591
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: gave them the best chance to win, and they did.

592
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Now in retrospect, knowing what Jake from Wan lacked, you

593
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: see why Georgia handled things the way they did a

594
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: lot of times offensively this past year. That's in the past.

595
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: As we look forward, here's the biggest question for Georgia

596
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: can't change any of that is their change coming because

597
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: the best way, you know, you can marry two things here,

598
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: two things can be true. It could be true that

599
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: Kirby smart thought in twenty nineteen, given his ingredients, the

600
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: best way to go about things was a more conservative

601
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: offensive approach. Let's not lose it, let's game manage this

602
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: thing to steal a term from yesteryear, and let's win

603
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: on dominant defense, and let's be really sound and special teams,

604
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: and let's win the turnover battle. Maybe that is the

605
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: way that he wanted to go about it in twenty nineteen.

606
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that that's the most preferable way that

607
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: he'd love to go about it in the future. It's

608
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: just what he had at the time. So that's the

609
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: big question here, is that just who Kirby Smart is

610
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Nick THEYD used to say that about Nick Saban all

611
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: the time. Is that just Nick Saban? Is that his

612
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: MO does? He just want to get a quarterback that's

613
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: smart enough not lose them a game. And then they're

614
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: going to win by suffocating their opponent. They're just gonna,

615
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, wrap around their neck and slowly choke them

616
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: to death, and they're gonna lean on them with that

617
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: superior roster, and over four quarters, the Bama factor will

618
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: win out. Well, once upon a time, it was then

619
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it wasn't anymore. Who's to say

620
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart doesn't undergo the same philosophical evolution. Who's to

621
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: say Georgia's offense doesn't undergo the same kind of evolution.

622
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you this, Jamie Newman got a white

623
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: hot spotlight on him now, just like Monkin new offensive coordinator.

624
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: There white hot spotlight because there's a lot of talk.

625
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: You miss spring, so that was your install period, you

626
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: miss spring. There's a lot of talk and a lot

627
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: of expectation that even with a dominant defense again and

628
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: even with sound special teams play and a really good

629
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: roster advantage over ninety nine out of one hundred teams

630
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: they face. Even with all those elements still there, there's

631
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: an expectation that offensively, they're gonna overhaul a lot. So

632
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: we'll see. That's the big question with Georgia, and it's

633
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna be until finally toe meets this fall or whenever. Alrighty,

634
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: let's continue moving. I'll run a good pace right now, Colin, Okay,

635
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: we set a benchmark for what time we were gonna

636
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: get off the air. I'm not going to tell you

637
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: what it is. I just hope we hit it here.

638
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: We got an interview with Brian Kelly coming up Tuesday.

639
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to play the whole thing tonight, but

640
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I talked about Notre Dame recruiting. Seems like about three

641
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: weeks four weeks ago, talked about how there's a Tier A.

642
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: I talked about this, Brian Kelly, you'll see this Tuesday.

643
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: There's a Tier A in college football, and there's a

644
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: Tier B. Tier A is Baan mcclems in Ohio State LSU.

645
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: You can put Georgia there if you're talking roster, if

646
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: you're talking championships, No, George is not there. But whatever

647
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: the case may be, Notre Dame's not in the first tier.

648
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 1: They are solidly I think in the second tier of teams.

649
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you realize this. They've won double

650
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: digit games back to back to back years. They are

651
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: on as solid a foundation as they've been in two

652
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: or three decades. It just didn't feel that way because

653
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: I hadn't won a championship. So what I wanted to

654
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: do is I wanted to talk about recruiting with Brian Kelly.

655
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to dig a little bit deeper. And what

656
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: I did in this interview is I tried to get

657
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: him to recruit me. I tried to tried to get

658
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: the idea from him about how he goes about trying

659
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: to take kids out of the South. There's a map

660
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: they put it out every year after the NFL Draft.

661
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: Where did the kids who were drafted grow up? And

662
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: of course you've got a sprinkling up and down the

663
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: West coast, mainly in California. East Texas is loaded, but

664
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: Florida there's so many kids. The dots overlap each other. Georgia, Alabama,

665
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: the Carolinas, tide water in Virginia, and then some in

666
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Ohio and the Midwest. No kid came out of Nebraska.

667
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: Just pray for Scott Frost every night before you guys

668
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: go to bed. But I wanted to know Brian Kelly academic.

669
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: You can call it a hurdle or an opportunity. They

670
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: got that to deal with. They got geography maybe working

671
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: against him. You got to recruit nationally. How do you

672
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: do it? So this is a couple of minutes of

673
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: our eventual about twenty minute long interview that's coming out

674
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday with Brian Kelly, head coach at Notre Dame. ROLLI column.

675
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: If I'm a kid, I'm from Columbus, Georgia. So let's

676
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: say I'm a kid in the Deep South and the

677
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: golden helmet still resonates with me. I've heard the stories

678
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame. I see you guys on NBC every

679
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: week every other week. But I really love home, and

680
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: I've never been away from home before. I would imagine

681
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: you deal with this a lot. Everyone recruits the South,

682
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: and you got to convince kids leave home. We're what's

683
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: best for you. Leave home. How difficult a process is that?

684
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: And how do you typically go about pitching a kid

685
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: and recruiting a kid and developing a relationship with a

686
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: kid who you know it's going to be tough to

687
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: pull from home.

688
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great point, Josh. And so we have

689
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: to do that in every single state. We're taking the

690
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 2: best player generally from the state, from the local school,

691
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 2: right whether it's Georgia or Columbus in Ohio state or

692
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: on the West coast, whether it's USC or UCLA or Oregon.

693
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: So I think first and foremost it's being very, very

694
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: careful in our selection process, and that is somebody that

695
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: really recognizes and understands the value of what the degree

696
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: will do for them when they're done playing football. If

697
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: we're not careful in our selection process, will be spinning

698
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: our wheels. We'll be on the young man from Georgia

699
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 2: who just really is interested in playing college football working

700
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: towards a degree, whether he gets it or not. Okay,

701
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: that'll be fine, But I want to play in the NFL.

702
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: We need to get that guy who recognizes the value

703
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: of a Notre Dame degree is working hard to get

704
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: it in three and a half years so we can

705
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 2: then graduate to the NFL and then take that network

706
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: that Notre Dame has and apply it after he's done

707
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: with the NFL. So we've got to be very, very

708
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: careful in finding those people.

709
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you don't have to sign

710
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: one hundred kids a year. You're right at plus or

711
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: minus a couple twenty five a year. There's this, I

712
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: call it a misconception. I don't believe it. I was

713
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: talking to, for instance, Jeff Collins at Georgia Tech. They

714
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: deal with this same sort of I call a stigma

715
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: of man, you're academics. That's really a hindrance to your recruiting.

716
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: Maybe if you had to sign one hundred guys a

717
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: year it is. But I gotta believe, especially with the

718
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: brand you guys have, I got to believe there are

719
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: more than twenty five kids in America qualified to play

720
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: high level football and also qualified to accept the academic challenge,

721
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: which I would imagine is the way that you pitch

722
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: it is it does any you can't afford to look

723
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: at that is any kind of hindrance, can you? No?

724
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I mean I use the analogy. You know,

725
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: you can go to.

726
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: A recruiting station, right and you can sign up to

727
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: go to the army, or you can go over next

728
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: door where it says we want a few good men

729
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: that's the Marines, and so that tagline it's right, goes wow,

730
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: they want a few good men.

731
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: Maybe that's me.

732
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: So for us at Notre Dame, we're really pushing that.

733
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: It's like we're looking for somebody unique. Is that you

734
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: and so Georgia Tech, Duke Northwestern Stanford. You know, they're

735
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: all looking for that unique profile and that they are

736
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: out there. But you've got to dig, and you've got

737
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: to work at it, and you've got to find them.

738
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 2: And when you get that connection, you're in the hunt,

739
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: and then that's when the work is on.

740
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: I could talk recruiting with these people all day, literally

741
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: all day. So that full interview with Brian Kelly comes

742
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: out Tuesday morning. It is the Social Distance series that

743
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: we've been doing tomorrow. By the way, if you don't

744
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: want to wait until Tuesday, I got Jeff Collins from

745
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. I've been really high on them. I've been

746
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: pumping Georgia Tech for over a year now and a

747
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: lot of the reasons that I've been doing that will

748
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: be on full display in that interview with Jeff Collins

749
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: that'll be live tomorrow morning. So a big shout out

750
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: to that Georgia Tech staff. I'm telling you they are coming.

751
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you now. And there will be people

752
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: once Georgia Tech is an ACC contender and then they're

753
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: a serious challenger in the ACC and all of a

754
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: sudden that Draft Day special starts to include a lot

755
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: more Georgia Tech flavor and whatnot. There'll be people that

756
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: say no one saw this coming. False. Almost no one

757
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: will have seen it coming. We see it coming. But

758
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, that's a really really good We got him

759
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: to go really in depth on some stuff. We really

760
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: appreciate him making the time to join us too. So

761
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: that's that. Now let's wrap the show up because there's

762
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: some stuff that's happened today that I didn't have time

763
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: to put on the front end of the show. But

764
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: we really have to touch on this, and then I'm

765
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: gonna tell you about the podcast at the very end.

766
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,160

788
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: alabama coaching staff really never had all that much confidence

789
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: they were going to land to. Him he was straight

790

00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: Year they are loaded to the brim and beyond at that.

795
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Position it Was auburn that thought they were landing this.

796
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: Guy and not to say he signed, anything but he

797
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: has committed verbally to The university Of. Tennessee it is

798
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: a huge. Deal it. IS i cannot overstate how big it.

799
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: Is and here's. Why you remember last, year if you

800
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: were watching late kick at the, time we were doing

801
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: it independently down In, georgia AND i Said tennessee started off.

802
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: Terribly they lost To Georgia state at. Home they had

803
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: to finish. Strong they had a softer back half of the,

804
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: schedule and they had to finish, strong and they had

805
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: to win their bowl. GAME i placed a lot more

806
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: importance on that stuff With tennessee THAN i normally, do

807
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: and the reason is because they had to have something

808
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: they could. Sell you certainly can't sell the way they

809
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: started last. Year you certainly can't sell hot seat talk

810
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: around your head coaching. Staff but what you can sell

811
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: is if you get things together and then you finished,

812
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: strong and THEY i think they won seven games and

813
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: ended up winning seven, games you go out on the

814
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: recruiting trail and you can tell, Guys, okay look the

815
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: back half version of. Ten that's what we are moving.

816
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: Forward we're not talented enough yet. Though we can't compete

817
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: With georgia without guys like. You we can't compete Against

818
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: alabama without guys like. You it was a sellable end

819
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: to the, season and it was sellable on the recruiting.

820
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: Trail that's What i'm talking. About and the surest sign

821
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: that that's true is landing kids Like Dylan. Brooks, again

822
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: there is No, Roanoke alabama To, Knoxville tennessee. Pipeline there just.

823
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: Isn't but it didn't matter Because Jeremy prewitt high school

824
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: coaches In, alabama they may not Know tennessee a whole

825
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: heck of a, lot they Know Jeremy prewitt and he

826
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: got the job done. Here now he's got to get

827
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: the job done again and again and. Again and as

828
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: was pointed out to, me and it's very accurate On

829
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: twitter earlier, Today, yes eventually the results do have to. Follow,

830
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: eventually you do have to Beat, Florida, Alabama georgia because

831
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: eventually you can only sell a vision for so, long

832
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: it has to become. Reality this is a really really

833
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: promising first, step. Though cheryl is up. Next cheryl asked,

00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: INCREDIBLE a lot of folks are not who they are on.

842
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: Camera on, screen you meet a healthy mixture of all

843
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: kinds in this. Business matthew McConaughey is a guy who

844
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: is the characters he plays in his. Movies so, authentic so,

845
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Incredible and the best part was we sat there and

846
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: chatted for about fifteen minutes before we ever hit. RECORD

847
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: i WISH i would, have in retrospect hit record on

848
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: some of that. Conversation i'll probably tell a more lengthy

849
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: version of that story one day when we have more.

850
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: Time but, really really, awesome really. Cool the third question

851
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: By joseph how far WILL lsu drop off losing all

852
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: this talent to the, draft Including Joe brady And DAVE.

853
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: A randa as. COACHES lsu just sent fourteen guys to

854
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: THE Nfl. Draft there are two schools of. Thought one,

855
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: is you guys better enjoy twenty nineteen because it was

856
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: a one hit wonder and it's not that you're gonna be.

857
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: Terrible it's not gonna that you're struggling to make a

858
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: bowl all of a, sudden but you know it'll be

859
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: back to nine win a YEAR. Lsu that's one school of.

860
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Thought the other school of thought is the culture has

861
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: been rewritten there and it's, gonna of course be tough

862
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: to ever duplicate or come close to duplicating what they

863
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: just did for them or. Anybody you don't have to

864
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: duplicate WHAT lsu just did to win a. Championship you

865
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: got to duplicate that to maybe be in conversation for

866
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: the best of all time period in the SPORT. Lsu

867
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: here's WHAT i think you're looking. For you're looking for

868
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: What clemson did defensively this last. Year if you're finding

869
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: out whether you got a cultural overhaul, There if they

870
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: are there to, stay look and see if they're able

871
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: to pull off some of What clemson did last. Year

872
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: do you remember this time last year we were talking

873
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: about all these dudes That clemson had on campus, forever

874
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: all this defensive, linemen felt like a millillion of, them

875
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: and they were all going to THE Nfl. Draft think

876
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: about how many of them they were losing three in

877
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: like the first whatever picks in the first round of

878
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: THE Nfl. Draft there's no way that they can be

879
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: dominant defensively this. Year and then they were dominant defensively,

880
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: again not just against the bakery of cupcakes that is

881
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: the acc they got in the playoff and Against Ohio,

882
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: state after giving up an early lead at defense was

883
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: able to stiffen its neck a little bit and they

884
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: ended up coming from behind and. Winning and the point

885
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: is you're watching. IT i was watching, that and even

886
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: WITH lsu eventually beating them in The National Championship, GAME

887
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: i thought the Job Brent venables did last year with their,

888
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: defense all things, considered was one of the most incredible

889
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: Things i'd ever. Seen the reason is because the expectations weren't,

890
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: there because they lost the pieces the year. Before, WELL

891
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: lsu is losing a lot of pieces. Here that coaching

892
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: staff is to the level that maybe we think it.

893
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: Is they're able to replace the departures on the coaching,

894
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: staff and they're able to overcome cumulative lee the losses

895
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: on the. Roster and it may not be a twelve

896
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: wins season this, year but IF lsu wins ten games

897
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: this year and they're, challenging if they're a ten win

898
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: caliber team and they're Challenging alabama and they're challenging whoever

899
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: would be favored over, them that's a sign that they're

900
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: here to. Stay because you find me anyone, else take

901
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: the fourteen best players off anyone else's, roster and then

902
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: throw them right back in the meat. Grinder the next,

903
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: year you tell me how they. Do they're over under

904
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: win total is. NINE i think this upcoming, Year i'd

905
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: take the, over thinking all the, while what's more likely

906
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: ten wins or eight? Wins because IF i land on,

907
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: nine you just give me my money. Back i'd take

908
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: the over BECAUSE i think it's far more likely THAN

909
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: lsu exceeds expectations than it is that they all all

910
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden fall not back to the, pack but

911
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: behind the. Pack a couple of runs and go to eight.

912
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: WINS i don't think that's what's. HAPPENING i think a

913
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: lot of what they implemented last year is here to,

914
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: stay even if some of the players that executed what

915
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: they implemented have moved. On all, right podcast matters here

916
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: told you give me as many questions as you've. Got

917
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: we're going to take the best of them in the,

918
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: chat And i'm going to take the best of them
