Speaker 4: Yeah, he's doing okay. You know, thank you all for

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 4: the literally hundreds maybe thousands of people who've written something

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: kind saying you were thinking about him.

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: It was he is.

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: He's still in the hospital in Knoxville, which is the

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: place they go because it's close to Middlesborough, uh and

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 4: is still recovering. So I still would ask that people

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: pray for him. He's he's got, you know, a little

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: bit of a road. It was an what they had

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: to He went in for one procedure and they unexpectedly

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: had to do a second one. And then you know,

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: my my mother lost a very close friend of hers

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: and that funeral was was during that period, so I

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: went because I wanted her to get to go to

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: that And anyway, so.

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: You were Larry's nurse for a while.

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like twenty four hours of caretaker. Not

50
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: going to say, I mean this may surprise people, Drew,

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: That's probably not my strength.

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: Did he like his gummy clusters for dinner?

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: You know, it was like it was it was good.

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: It was you know, I'm not.

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody likes hospitals, but I mean, for

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: being honest, you know, I had that experience of being

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: in one for for like ten days, and uh, that

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: was a difficult time for me. So I'm not a

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: huge hospital person. But you know this one is that

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: this one is nice and the people were very nice.

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was it was you know, they didn't

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: get they didn't get ESPN, so I didn't get I

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: didn't get see any of the game. Different But now

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: it sounds like I didn't miss anything, but I didn't

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: get to see like one minute of the game. I

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: was following it on my phone and I was just

67
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: getting frustrated. You know, I don't know if you've all

68
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: ever had to do that, you just you're like, all right,

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: when I hit refresh, hopefully the score will be better.

70
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: And then it was like fifty six to fifty and

71
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 4: I said, okay, here we go. And then I think

72
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: I refreshed it and we were down sixty one fifty

73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: nine or something.

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: I just I forget it.

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: I think somebody had down in the Knoxville pulled a

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 5: little prank on you. That's the only room that didn't

77
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: get ESPN.

78
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: It feels like the only thing they had, the only

79
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: thing that would come in clear with no static was

80
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: Fox News, which was like, all right, now, you just

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: tease me.

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: Come on, you can't. You can't do this to me.

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: But I got you know, I had a good time.

84
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: This was kind of nice they brought this will be

85
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: a moment like I remember forever. They brought a guy

86
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: that the knox Full Symphony came and played in the

87
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: lobby of the hospital.

88
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: First of all, how nice is that? That is very

89
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: for the patients.

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: And one of the violin players came and he came

91
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: into Larry's room and played I want to talk about

92
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 4: making Larry happy.

93
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: So that was really that.

94
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: Was really I can only imagine how that light Larry.

95
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: So that was really that was really nice.

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: Sure he wanted to get up and get his base out,

97
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: and little.

98
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Think he would have if he could have.

99
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: So so anyway, thank you all very much to everybody

100

Speaker 3: I do really appreciate it now. I did. I was

102
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: driving back. I didn't get to get back for the

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: press conference. I was driving back and I.

104
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: Listened to it old school like, listen to it on

105
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: the on the radio, which you don't. I didn't know

106
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: you having people did that. It was on this station,

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: I said. I listened to it on the radio, and

108
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: I thought it sounded like I thought it sounded great

109
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: excitement in the room.

110
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: Will.

111
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 4: It was interesting because I don't think like Will's not

112
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: a rehearse guy, So it felt like to me it

113
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: was kind of off the cup. We got natural answers

114
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: at times. I thought initially was a little nervous, which

115
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: I get in that situation. You were there, right, did

116
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: you go what did you think of it?

117
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: Very cool? A lot of people there, A lot of people.

118
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

119
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: It was broken into sections. There was like a fan section,

120
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: a former player section. Then you had the current team,

121
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: the guys that wanted to show up. Then you had

122
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: of course the media, then some rich people, but just

123
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: the whole Another was.

124
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: Some rich people section. Yeah, it's specifically.

125
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: I guess I should call him donors.

126
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: If you're not rich, you cannot sit here.

127
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Everyone there looked rich. I guess maybe I don't know

128
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: their incomes, but uh, great to turn out. I mean

129
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: they had pyro inside, shot some some goldberg sparks off

130
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: out out as will Stein came through, and then we've

131
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: had we've seen him kind of twice now. When he

132
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: came out at rough that was a huge pop, and

133
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: we saw his energy where he's fist pumping, and then

134
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: in this were getting to see a little bit of

135
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: his character, a little bit of a potty.

136
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: Mouth, which I like in my football coach. Yeah, so

137
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: I thought about that. I mean, very like, uh drops

138
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: to drop some curse words.

139
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: But he wants his quarterback to be an mfor is

140
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: exactly what he said.

141
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: He didn't say the words.

142
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: I didn't know he said. I didn't say the word.

143
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: Well that's good, don't we want that? Right? Yeah, this is.

144
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: Football, you want a little bit of that.

145
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: It was interesting.

146
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: First of all, let me tell you a few things

147
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 4: just in listening that I liked. Okay, I liked probably

148
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: the two answers I like the most answer one was

149
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: he basically said, Okay, it doesn't matter whether you all

150
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: like the new era of college football or not. It

151
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: is what it is, so we gotta go do it.

152
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 4: I've been preaching that. I've been preaching that forever.

153
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: I wrote.

154
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Matt Jones will love that quote.

155
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: Because I don't. It doesn't matter what your opinion is.

156
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: Like, it really doesn't unless you're in Congress and you're

157
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: making the decision.

158
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: It does not matter what your opinion is. You have

159
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: to take what the rule.

160
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: You gotta people gotta stop wanting and they gotta take

161
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: what the rules are and they gotta go win.

162
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: And the fact that he said that, Ryan, it was

163
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: literally music to my ears. I felt like I had

164
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: written it. I was so excited. Yeah.

165
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 5: Basically, he basically said to them, like, well, like it

166
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 5: or not, you have to adapt and we are going

167
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 5: to be able to adapt it.

168
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: Day one.

169
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: I loved it how he got a little emotional talk

170
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: about his wife. But then the more he went on,

171
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 5: the more fired up he got. And you know, like

172
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 5: he said, he dropped a couple f bomb when he

173
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: met with the players yesterday afternoon. Got me fired up,

174
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: ready to go.

175
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: But you need that answer, Okay, so you need that.

176
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: Then the second thing, and I think this is important.

177
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: I am really proud of how everyone involved has handled

178
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: this transition from Stoops to this. I'm proud of how

179
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: Stoops handled it. Stoops could have he could have taken

180
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: us to the mat for the thirty seven million dollars.

181
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: He ended up not doing it. I mean, he's getting

182
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: the thirty seven million, He's not gonna be broke. But

183
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: I appreciate that he did it in a way that

184
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: that's good. I've heard I wrote about this on Ksport.

185
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: I've heard that actually he has a really as positive

186
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: as you can have a situation with this, with UK,

187
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: with Mitch, with everybody involved.

188
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: And he gets it.

189
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: And I think, I said, I think he's gonna stay

190
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 4: in Lexington. And then I love that Will Stein brought

191
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: you know, talked about him yesterday and talked about his

192
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: influence because it is there, right it is. I mean,

193
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: like this is a better job than it was when

194
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: Stoops got it because of Mark, and so I like

195
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: that Will said it. It just felt like rather than

196
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: this being a break, that we've seen this sometimes where

197
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: it's a break and then I mean we saw it.

198
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: We've seen a lot actually just saw it in basketball,

199
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: where like it's awkward for a while, people don't know

200
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: what to do. It feels like that this has been

201
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: as good as it can be.

202
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing a great job. A lot of new

203
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: coaches won't even mention the last coach at all to

204
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: avoid that. I mean, you look around the country. I

205
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: know we're not some other programs, but there's just other

206
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: chaos at other schools Penn State right now, where they're

207
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: shipping cookies back and forth. We just I mean, it

208
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: was outside of the outcome of the last couple of

209
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: games and it being nasty one to change, it's been

210
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: pretty smooth. Even fans that were really upset with stoops

211
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: have turned that off because they got the move they

212
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: wanted and everybody's trying to shine a light on the

213
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: positive days.

214
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I liked it.

215
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: He said, look, we're gonna sco points and he let

216
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: me say something and this is not a criticism. Okay,

217
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 4: it's a little bit. Now, you got to back this up.

218
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: But he had some he had some like cocky lines.

219
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: What was the one he said that I texted you Ryan,

220
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: something like people.

221
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: Are gonna want to play coach with will Stein.

222
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: People want to coach with will So he said everyone

223
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: in the country will want to coach with Will Stett.

224
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: I loved it, and he did himself.

225
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: In the third person.

226
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 4: Everyone will want to coach. I mean I loved it

227
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: like that does. But I thought, man, that is some confidence.

228
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 4: Everyone in the country will want to coach with will

229
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: Stein said.

230
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: They're gonna light up the scoreboard. You know that's what

231
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 5: we want to hear, Man, just just that boost of

232
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: energy into the program. I want to go back what

233
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 5: you said about Stoops. I love the fact he gave

234
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 5: him his flowers and kind of said and I think

235
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 5: it was so good because it sounded so sincere. I

236
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 5: think Stein was one hundred percent sincere in his gratitude

237
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: to coach Stoops.

238
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 4: Trust direct quote was, trust me, everybody wants to work

239
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: for Will s Steck.

240
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: I like it. When Will Stein's money there, I love it.

241
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: I like the third person. He also he didn't say

242
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: teams by name, but he's He basically said, we're going

243
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: for the big teams in the SEC like, you know,

244
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: we have our tier that we want to be. He

245
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: was fair when he was looking to the top top.

246
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: It was very adamant.

247
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna win here, but we're not settling for just winning.

248
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: I mean he set the expectations that for years people

249
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: have called this show and said, which is can we

250
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: go to the playoff? Can we go to the set championship?

251
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: And I've always been like, I don't know, that's not

252
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: what he said. Now all coaches say that kind of

253
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: but he said it like, that's what we're that's our expectation,

254
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: not that's our goal.

255
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: That's our expectation. I mean, that's setting it high. Do

256
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 3: you like that?

257
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what I want to hear. I want to

258
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 5: come in tiptoe an on him to come in knock

259
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 5: people over. So look, you said, man, you got to

260
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 5: you got to adapt, And he's a guy that's gonna

261
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: come in and be able to adapt to whatever offense

262
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 5: he has or he's players he had. He mentioned that, So.

263
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 4: Tell me, I'm gonna be a little bit jealous because

264
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 4: I would have loved to have seen this. Tell me

265
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: about the moment he came out at rough. I of

266
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: course didn't get.

267
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: To see it.

268
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: They did it very early, so the crowd was still

269
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: on fire. Score was low. He was the why they

270
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: did two Wise, they had a Tayshaun why in the

271
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: second half that's cursed half why for him? And I

272
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: compared it to the mena Field dunk because it was loud.

273
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: But then he started lifting his arms and it's like

274
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: we hit another level that I didn't know we could have,

275
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: Like Reparina already exploded when he walked on the court,

276
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: but when he started throwing his arms and y'all, let's

277
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: go it, somehow kicked in another gear.

278
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 5: It was.

279
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: It was one of the cooler moments, especially non basketball

280
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: things that I've seen in a long time.

281
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: In there.

282
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: Since I'm going to end up later in the show

283
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 4: being a little critical of this person, let's let me

284
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 4: be fair by being positive. Do we grade the transition

285
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: from Stoops to this new coach to will Stein in

286
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 4: the process for Mitch Barnhardt, do we grade it in a?

287
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: I think you have to grade it in a. Somehow

288
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: he got stooped to agree to a better buyout. Somehow

289
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 5: he got the one guy who was the top of

290
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 5: all of our wish list and within what twenty four

291
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: to forty eight.

292
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: Houreen hours from when they announced Stoop's departured when they

293
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: announced Stein was the coach.

294
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 5: So be critical if you want to, Mitch, but on

295
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: this situation, the way he handled it, it's a definite A.

296
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

297
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: I said it the day after the higher I have

298
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: plenty of Mitch complaints, but the fact that you went

299
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: out and got the name that everybody wanted and did

300
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: it quickly. Now I know, I think he kicked the

301
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: can a little bit down with another coach ended up

302
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: in Florida, but everybody loves Stein, so I'm not gonna

303
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: penalize him for that. I think you did a great

304
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: job of getting it done quickly, especially with everything has

305
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: to move so fast to stay and age and you

306
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: building teams and everything in the offseason.

307
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: So there have been a couple whispers now that it's over,

308
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: that the initial conversations about at least gauging interest. And

309
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: again I'm not saying Mitch was part of it. I

310
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: bet he probably wasn't, but they but that they started

311
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 4: after the Tennessee game, that there were like some conversations

312
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: of Okay, what could happen? What would you think that

313
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 4: makes sense to me, and I'm good with it because

314
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: it did lead. I mean, we kept from a circus.

315
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: I mean, Penn State has had a job for six weeks,

316
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: they still don't have a coach, So, like, I think

317
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: it helped.

318
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 5: I think that's when most of the fan base two

319
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 5: realize the change he needed to be made. Now he

320
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 5: won a lot of people back over with the Auburn win,

321
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: the Florida win, but that Tennessee game can kind of

322
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 5: starts the downhill slide where they're gonna make a change.

323
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 4: And I'm glad, you know, I'd kind of talked myself

324
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 4: into while I still really like Brian Hartline.

325
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: But then I had some folks.

326
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: I had somebody I know really well who likes Brian

327
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 4: Hartline who said, listen, Matt, Brian Hartline is a good coach.

328
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 4: He's gonna have a lot of success. He was like,

329
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: but he's a lot. He was like, he's he's a lot,

330
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: just like he's well, they were like, he's a.

331
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: Little bit of a jerk, and I don't know how that.

332
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 4: Would work with Mitch. He's get and he said, so

333
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: he's a lot. This guy will see but does not

334
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 4: seem like that.

335
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: And I like we're talking about how cocky and confident

336
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: he's been, but there's also been like humble moments where

337
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: yesterday he was talking about he looked out the window

338
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 2: of the plane and saw his police escort and he

339
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: couldn't believe how many police cards are there, and he's like,

340
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: I'm taking pictures, like I cannot believe this is me,

341
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: that I have a police escort.

342
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

343
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: So you have moments like that too that bring him

344
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: down to showing that he still has that excitement and

345
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: appreciation too.

346
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: And I am a sucker for the whole Like I

347
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: was sitting there in the stadium and.

348
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: I wore the jersey. Yeah, you know, Jared Lritt, Like,

349
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: I'm a sucker for all that.

350
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: You know, as Mark Pope is finding out, it doesn't

351
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: really matter if you lose a bunch, but at least

352
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: for now, it's really nice.

353
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: The things he said made you convince you that he

354
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: was a Kentucky fan at heart. Talked about all those

355
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: games he went to it at the Old Commonwealth Stadium,

356
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 5: talked about he got starstruck at Reperena because there was

357
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: Tayshaun Prince and there goes that's dayshon Prince. You know,

358
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 5: he's one of the means.

359
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: He's of the age though where he would have been

360
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: a kid and like Tayshawn Prince would have been like

361
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: that is tash Like literally Tayshawn Prince is probably his

362
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: Jamal Mashburn for me in terms of like whoa yeah.

363
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: He said he was like, why am I the way?

364
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: Make him the why now? They ended up doing both.

365
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: But he also listed several football memories. Uh, he did name.

366
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: Most of them were losses. He started with the Bluegrass Mirror.

367
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: That's I mean, we're Kentucky football fans. That's kind of

368
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: what our memories are. Even named the which Bowl? Was

00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,960

00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,840

Speaker 4: Oh God does love a terrier, but not tonight. We're

395
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: number one seed. Well, well we'll get to all that.

396
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 4: That'll be kind of a second hour thing. One person says,

397
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: Matt Mitch doesn't get any credit for hiring Stein. A

398
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: train seal could have hired him. It was an easy hire. Yeah,

399
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: I know, I'm sorry. I don't buy that you have

400
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: to give you know, that was the same he didn't get.

401
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: People say, hey, well he didn't.

402
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: Get credit for cow. That was Mike Pratt like.

403
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: No, sometimes the easy pass is the right pass. So yeah,

404
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: I mean, and it's I mean, it's of course it's

405
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: a little bit of a risk. He's never coached before, right,

406
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: So yes, if it works, he gets credit, just like

407
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: he will get credit.

408
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he went through six guys or whatever.

409
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: He gets Pope. But if Pope wins here, he deserves credit.

410
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 4: You're gonna blame him if it doesn't work, So he

411
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 4: gets credit if it does.

412
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: I give him a lot of credit, especially like if

413
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 5: you said he started on the process after the Tennessee game,

414
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 5: moved super quickly after the Louisville game, had him here,

415
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 5: you know, just a couple of days after we lost

416
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: that game in Louisville. I think he deserves a lot

417
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: of credit for how he handled this situation.

418
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: One person rights, Matt will Stein has Billy R Sports confidence.

419
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 5: He does a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.

420
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: Billy our Sports was more delusional in the early days.

421
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: I think Will has at least Will's accomplished some things.

422
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 4: Billy was coming in Cole talking about Dayton. Jennifer Lawrence,

423
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: who worked on the street, is Will might actually update.

424
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: It back in the day, back in the day.

425
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: Nice, that's that's.

426
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 5: That's my first question into the next news conference.

427
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna have you know you might remember, Yeah,

428
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: I mean he's on the show today. We're not gonna

429
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: ask him about it because like he's he's married. We're

430
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: not gonna we're not gonna ask his families. His families

431
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 4: might be on the call, so we're not we're not

432
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 4: gonna ask him that. That's why you don't get to

433
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: ask questions. Is is that answer right there? What I

434
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: would like to know is and then I'm being serious

435

Speaker 4: about this seven seven two seven seven four five two

436
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 4: five four. We have him here for like fifteen or

437
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: twenty mines, what would you ask? Because I want to

438
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 4: ask him, like he answered a lot of the basics.

439
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 4: I'll probably do one like what's it like to be here?

440
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: But then we got I want specific things. If you

Speaker 3: To let me know what? What? What are you interested? Andrew?

00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: call the plays like he'll be very involved, it won't

446
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: be you know, the full time play caller, which kind

447
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: of surprised me since me a little bit. I'm mentioned

448
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: to hear about that, and so.

449
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 4: Is the Again, I've been off a little bit a

450
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: couple of days, not totally plugged in.

451
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: Is Justin Burke gonna do that or do we know yet?

452
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: We don't know official role, but yeah, he'll be added, uh,

453
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: but we don't know if he's the O C.

454
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 5: There's reports out there that he will be those final.

455
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I saw he was gonna be on the staff.

456
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: The Texas San Antonio coach had a weird He was

457
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: asked about it and he was just like, Justin Burk's

458
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: barn will Stein?

459
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 3: What did you know that someone?

460
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 4: That's not exactly what he said, but that was he

461
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 4: was weird. He almost said it like that.

462
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

463
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: I had to some did some digging because it was

464
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: so weird. I guess there was some context. Fans were

465
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: upset with Justin Burke, and now the defenses they're playing

466
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: are tougher. He was trying to kind of be like,

467
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: lay off Justin Burke. He's not playing the same defense

468
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: as though we had when Stein was here, so the

469
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: numbers aren't.

470
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: And then I guess they're bringing the director. So he

471
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: did say he was gonna have a GM. Yes, we

472
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 4: love that too.

473
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 5: Right, in this day and age of college athletics, you

474
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 5: absolutely have to have a GM in places.

475
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 4: Not according to Mitch Barnhart, he was very even though

476
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 4: we're hiring Mitch Bartnhardt is the only person who would

477
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: we would announce we're hiring a GM, and he would

478
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: defend not having a GM during the announcement. But regardless,

479
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: I'm glad we're doing that.

480
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

481
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: I might have been first reported by right here at

482
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: this this table. Oh, it was twenty four hours in advance.

483
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: And now that we're keeping up with the new song,

484
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: you two him.

485
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: Oh, just remember Drew R. Franklin.

486
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 5: Frank Franklin had the little scoop who was on the

487
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: plane with Will Sneine when he flew over here.

488
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 3: One person says.

489
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 4: One person says, Matt, does it mean anything that the

490
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 4: Crafts were not at the press conference?

491
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: Uh, I can say that they're.

492
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: They were, they are out of town, and so I

493
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 4: don't read anything to the end of that. I believe

494
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: Will Stein set in the craft seats he did at

495
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: the basketball game, so I think that will be that

496
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: will be fine.

497
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, if they're out of town, it doesn't no indication

498
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 5: they're not around supporting this move right now.

499
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: I mean I wasn't, you know, I mean just to

500
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: give me. I wasn't there either. It doesn't mean I

501
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: don't support it. Sometimes the life happens and people have

502
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 4: to do things. One person says, I love the experts

503
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 4: are saying how great of a hire Stein is.

504
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: That makes me more confident. This does make me confident.

505
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 4: Normally I don't care what experts say, but like none

506
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: of us know. I mean, we've all probably seen Oregon play,

507
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: but we've not probably broken down their play calls, etc.

508
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: The fact that people who cover college football all say

509
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 4: this dude is really good. And some people, I mean

510
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 4: Todd McShay was like, this may be the best low

511
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 4: profile higher of the entire cycle.

512
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: That can't help. But Drew make you feel good, right yeah.

513
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: And I've seen some Oregon fan accounts tweet about how

514
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: I miss him stuff like that. I mean, anytime a

515
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: team is losing someone and they're not upset about it

516
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: and they're actually torn up, I mean that helps our case.

517
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: I've seen some national things ranking the HighRes so far

518
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: this offseason. It was almost unanimously number two behind Lane Kiffin,

519
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: which is a pretty big deal. So yeah, the response

520
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: outside of Lexington and Big Blue Nation has been all positive.

521
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: It seems.

522
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: Did I I saw someone sit me a thing on

523
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 4: the text machine? Is there some recruit that was gonna

524
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 4: go to LSU that people rumor think might end up here?

525
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: A receiver something? Or Am I dreaming that, Yeah, there's

526
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 2: a receiver. I'm drawing up like a Darby something like that.

527
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: There's been there's one. Watching the wrestler, he was like

528
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: the power yesterday.

529
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: He's not very tall.

530
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: But no, the personnel we're all having to learn on

531
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: the floor. They did a great job on National Signing Day,

532
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: keeping people, including a bunch of receivers. I don't know

533
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: who will will keep as a coach, but Washington, the

534
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: wide receivers coaches one to watch because he kept uh.

535
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: Well he was the wide receiver coach, was acting like

536
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: he was stayed.

537
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know a lot of behind the scenes

538
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: over there, but the two practices I went to both times,

539
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: I was like, that dude is awesome because he is

540
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: in their grill and actually coaching. We saw what happened

541
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: with the freshman this season turningto stars about end of

542
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 2: the year and then he retained his son ease. So

543
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm not Will's advisor, but if I were keeping anybody,

544
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 2: Washington would be high on the list.

545
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 5: I guess he said it. Signing day was also yesterday,

546
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 5: and they got twelve guys, so not like go ahead,

547
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 5: like I say not. Was he busy, you know, just adjusting.

548
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 5: He had to go recruit guys and get them to

549
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 5: sign yesterday.

550
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: And he also has a game plan and he has

551
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 3: to do for organ here at some point too. We'll

552
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: take a break. Eighty seven. Take your calls, TJ. Smith,

553

00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones. By the way, some people with good questions.

557
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 4: This is why I like to outsource some things I

558
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: hadn't thought about, for me to uh, for me to

559
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: ask during the durs our new coach. Yeah, during our

560
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: phone call that's at eleven o'clock. I'll probably do one

561
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 4: of those things where I push him as long as

562
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: I can before we have to take a break, because

563
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 4: I think I only get one second there if I'm

564
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine

567
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: Kelsey podcast said he was a huge UK fan. I

568
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 4: feel like we don't hear him about him enough as

569
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 4: a UK fan.

570
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm glad he did that. I know he is.

571
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 4: Hopkins is kind of friendly friendly with him, says he is,

572
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 4: but like, we don't hear about it a lot when.

573
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: Don't even come to a game. Would it be cool

574
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: to see George Clooney at a game?

575
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been other podcasts in the PA he'll mention

576
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: he's a fan, but I can't think of the time

577
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: he's popped up at a game.

578
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 3: I don't think so either, But online I've.

579
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 4: Seen him like wearing a Kentucky shirt playing basketball, But like,

580
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 4: I don't know if he still plays basketball.

581
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,239
Speaker 3: He's gonna be one in his mid fifties now probably so.

582
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: Oh he's older than that, is he?

583
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, that'd be a good question for trivia one night.

584
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 3: How old is George Clinton?

585
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: You want to take a guess, I'm gonna say you

586
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 4: look it up and tell me how Ryan does.

587
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 5: Okay, I want to say he's sixty four?

588
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: Sixty four? Wow? What do you think he is sixty one?

589
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: Sixty one? What is he? Shannon?

590
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 5: He is sixty four?

591
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: Wow, look at Ryan getting it exactly right.

592
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 5: I stayed at Hollywood Express last night.

593
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: Day come up with a different joke like that. He

594
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 4: has said that joke so many times over the years.

595
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: Just a new joke.

596
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: Can you do it?

597
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 5: I can do it.

598
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: I do what I was mentioned.

599
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 5: One more thing that tickled me about the news conference yesterday, the.

600
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 3: Word like the fact he used the word to tickle.

601
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, all the pyro, the sparks, the fire

602
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 5: extinguishers shooting up in the air, We're all excited. Let's

603
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 5: go to this. Let's go and then Eli Capoluto get

604
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 5: to the talks about the Gattin New Gattin donation.

605
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: Let me say this, Okay, see, I actually disagree with you.

606
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 3: I actually thought Eli's I actually thought.

607
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 5: It was pretty good. I thought it was way I thought, well,

608
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 5: here's way too much. I want to hear from my coach.

609
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 5: Damn it, get off the stage, the coach.

610
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: That's odd.

611
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: And again I was hearing it on the radio, but

612
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: actually thought it was a pretty good speech. And I

613
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 4: remember thinking, if I was Mitch Barnhardt, I would love

614
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 4: how nice.

615
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: Elo to he was. He was very complimentary, and you

616
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 5: just don't like listening to Eli speak. I just think

617
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 5: that's the wrong place and time for that situation. Man,

618
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 5: We're all all the the bands playing, the cheerleaders are

619
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 5: whooped you doing? And then we got talking about the

620
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 5: donation of the new Gatton business fil me.

621
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 3: Okay, you do it. I guess you'd make a fair point.

622
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: I actually thought he was okay, uh okay, So I

623
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 4: do have to forge I got to talk for a

624
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 4: second about the Mitch thing.

625
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

626
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: So I have an overall frustration with Mitch Bardheart that

627
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 4: he does not talk to the public because he does not.

628
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: He only talks on media days and sort of what

629
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: you're getting at right there, Ryan media days about the

630
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: coach and like. So it's hard because you're sitting there,

631
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 4: everybody's in a good mood, and you don't want to

632
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 4: be harsh to the ad in that moment. But when

633
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: else are they going to talk to him? He not

634
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: never do press conference. So he was asked about the

635
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: Nile situation, and I mean, I'm not saying this was

636
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 4: a shot at us or me, but I think it

637
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 4: probably was. And here were his comments when asked about

638
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: does Kentucky have enough in aile go ahead and play it.

639
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 6: We're confident what we're doing John, and people have asked

640
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 6: that question nineteen different ways from all the stuff that's

641
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 6: been going on, and it's exhausting. You know enough enough

642
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 6: about have we got enough? We've got enough, and we're

643
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 6: working at it, just like everyone else is working at

644
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 6: We're no different. Everybody will Jami. They've got lear Field,

645
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 6: they've got lear Field. We've got Jami, they've got Learfield,

646
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 6: they've got Playfly. So this notion that we don't have

647
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 6: enough is is ridiculous. We've got enough. We've got to

648
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 6: you resource it the right way. We've got to assess

649
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 6: talent the right way. We've got to acquire it the

650
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 6: right way, and we've got to make sure we're within

651
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 6: the boundaries and the rules. We're not going to break

652
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 6: the rules. That's flat out we're not doing that. All right,

653
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 6: we will do it the right way. We don't need to.

654
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 6: We don't need to do that. We're good enough at

655
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 6: what we do. We've got good people. That's why we

656
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 6: heard this guy. He's really smart, really smart. He's put

657
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 6: together a really good game. Plan of how they're gonna

658
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 6: do it, and they've in the first day they've made

659
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 6: some really nice adjustments to what we're doing, and we'll

660
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 6: be fine. But that notion in all this nonsense has

661
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 6: been created variety of places that we don't have enough

662
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 6: or we're not working at it has got to stop.

663
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: It's enough, all right. So I have a few few

664
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: thoughts here about it.

665
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: Number One, as an athletic director, you don't get to

666
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: tell people enough or it's nonsense. That can Your answer

667
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: cannot be just stop talking about it, stop asking me things.

668
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 4: Your job. You are the lead leader of a public institution.

669
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 4: You are not the CEO of a private company. You

670
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: are the leader of a public institution. When people have questions,

671
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: and it was John Hale who asked it, who is

672
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: not exactly the most confrontational guy in the world, you

673
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 4: do not get to look at them and say enough nonsense.

674
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 4: You say you've been asked nineteen different ways. You've done

675
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 4: two press conferences in eight months. Do not tell me

676
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 4: you've been asked nineteen different ways. You don't go in public, okay,

677
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 4: you don't ever talk, So you have not.

678
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: Been asked nineteen different ways. Kentucky signed a.

679
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 4: Deal to do NIL is going to be the most

680
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: important thing in college sports for the next twenty five years.

681
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody would disagree with that.

682
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: Kentucky signed a deal with JMI to basically do their inile.

683
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 4: Unlike every other program in the country, nobody else has

684
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 4: a situation like ours. They've essentially turned their NILE over

685
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: to a private media company.

686
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: Now is that gonna work? I don't know.

687
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But there is not

688
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 4: one person, myself included, who's a lawyer knows sports and

689
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: those politics. And I don't even know how it works.

690
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: I don't even know what our setup is. You know why,

691
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 4: because they announced it via press release and then never

692
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: explained it.

693
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: No one understands it.

694
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: I called people at JAYMI the day it came out,

695
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: and they couldn't explain it to me.

696
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: There's people at the university that.

697
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 4: Can't explain it, and to sit there and tell the

698
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 4: fans to basically shut up.

699
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: We're fine, We're for fine.

700
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: Why did we win four games five games next year

701
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 4: and switch our coaches?

702
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: All right?

703
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: If you're gonna take the position that we don't owe

704
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 4: you all in explanation, well I don't like that. You're

705
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: the head of a public school, you do owe people

706
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 4: in explanation. You've now taken the athletics department and basically

707
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: made it private, and I think, so you don't have

708
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 4: to release stuff to the public. So I'm never gonna

709
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 4: accept we don't owe you an explanation. But if you're

710
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: gonna say that, then you better win right, and you

711
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: better get recruits, and you better not have rumors of

712
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: Kentucky can't get.

713
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: Innil deals done for these guys.

714
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 4: So the idea that you can just stand up there

715
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: and say it's nonsense, it's not nonsense just cause you

716
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: say it is, rather than get mad, why don't you

717
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: explain what we're doing. There's not one person who can

718
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: explain what we're doing, not one who's negotiating the nil deals.

719
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: How much money are we given to football? How much

720
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 4: money are we given to basketball? Mark Stoops has basically

721
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 4: acknowledged he literally said pony up, which wasn't which I

722
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: think he shouldn't have done, but was an acknowledgment that

723
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: at a time we didn't have enough money.

724
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: So I'm just supposed to.

725
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 4: Believe Mitch say we've got enough cause I say, well, Okay,

726
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: fair enough, then why haven't we won? So I hated

727
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: that answer. I think it distracts from a good day.

728
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: And I would say anytime a leader is asked a

729
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 4: question and their answer is to just get mad at

730
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 4: the fact the question is answered, or excuse me is asked,

731
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: that's on the leader. That's not on the people asking

732
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: the question. If the media and the fans do not

733
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: understand what is happening at UK, that's because you haven't

734
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,239
Speaker 4: told them, and you haven't talked about it, and you

735
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: haven't you've not made it to where anyone gets it,

736
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 4: and that's not our fault, that's your fault.

737
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 5: Well done, Frank Jones.

738
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: I'm just that really frustrates me because, you know, Drew,

739
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 4: it's not nonsense to ask that.

740
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: No other school in the country is doing it like this.

741
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: Yes, these other schools have media deals, but they're still

742
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: letting their private collectives do stuff.

743
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: We're the only one that's taking it in house.

744
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: And I don't know, man, since we've done that, we

745
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: haven't signed a basketball recruit yet, and I'm I'm nervous

746
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 4: about it. Will it work? It might, But I don't

747
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 4: think it's.

748
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: Crazy to ask about it.

749
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: Do you know, and I was smiling. That's my Mitch there.

750
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: He is talking to him like their five year old.

751
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: He talks to us. It's exactly right.

752
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: Any press conference I've been to, which is bi annual,

753
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: he talks to the media like their kids. And I

754
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: can't believe you're questioning me. This goes back to the

755
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: cow Stoops thing. He called a press conference and set

756
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: with Stoops and scolded us, saying we're making up a story.

757
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking you emailed me and told me to

758
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: be here, and now you're yelling at us. Anytime he

759
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: gets challenged on anything, and this wasn't even challenged. It

760
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: was a very basic question, and he lost it, and

761
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: he was pretty unhinged. The question before that, he got

762
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: on some rent about people not appreciating Mark Stoops, and

763
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 2: he's pounding the desk and everyone's looking around like but

764
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: also people are looking around It's like, who are you

765
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: fighting with because the people in front of you, no

766
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: one has done the things that you're arguing about right now.

767
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: It was like an unhinged press conference, and I see

768
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: why he doesn't get out there because he cannot handle it.

769
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: He cannot handle any criticism. And this wasn't criticism. This

770
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: was John Hale from the Herald Leader asking if our

771
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: money situation is good enough for the coach you just hired,

772
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: and Mitch, you could see it like a switch flipped.

773
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: He could not handle it, and he was talking to

774
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: everyone like at their three year old just spilled something

775
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: in the house.

776
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: He acts like he has acted, and he's not always

777
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: like this. Mitch is a good guy. I think he's

778
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: a wonderful man privately, but he has this issue where

779
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: he acts like the media and to some extent the

780
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 4: fans work for him that he can just talk to

781
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 4: you like you're his employee.

782
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: How dare you ask.

783
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: Me a very normal question?

784
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: It's a very normal question.

785
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 4: I cannot imagine what it would be like for him

786
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: if he was at a place where they did ask

787
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 4: really hard quot. Can you imagine if Jerry Tipton was

788
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: still here and he asked a quot question? What what

789
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: would happen in that scenario?

790
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: Watching that, I was getting flashbacks And when I asked

791
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: him about the checkerboards.

792
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: Anderboards he has.

793
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 4: He's very much an old school Like I said it,

794
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: that's enough.

795
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 2: I feel like my grandpa was yelling at everybody.

796
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 4: Now I've had to say to people at UK a

797
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 4: lot because they all kind of reflect him.

798
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: I've said to them, I want to remind you, I

799
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: don't work for you. By the way. It's a little thing.

800
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 4: But let me just give you a final example of

801
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 4: why UK sports is behind in this regard. There was

802
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 4: a press conference yesterday introducing the new coach. Question for you,

803
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 4: if you had a press conference introducing a new coach,

804
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 4: what's the point.

805
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: Of doing it publicity?

806
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 4: What if I told you then, unless you were Jami,

807
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 4: you couldn't broadcast the press conference. They didn't let any

808
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 4: of the TV stations broadcast it. The only one that

809
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 4: could do it on radio was the official one, which

810
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: is ours. But when Louisville does a press conference, they'll

811
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 4: let anybody.

812
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: The whole point is to get it out.

813
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 4: There press, that's the whole point. The point is publicity.

814
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 4: So they had an official press conference where you could

815
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: only show it live if you were their official station,

816
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 4: and guess what, the stream didn't work.

817
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 3: Nope.

818
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 4: That is ridiculous And it's the only let me tell something,

819
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 4: it's the only school in the country that does that.

820
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 4: We are the only school that would call a press

821
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 4: You remember when Cale got hired, that press conference was everywhere,

822
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 4: and when we get hired, it's on the JMI stream

823
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 4: and then it doesn't work. And by the way, I'll

824
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: note on the radio they finished it early and they

825
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 4: cut off the last ten minutes of his talking so

826
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: we could hear analysis instead of the guy talking.

827
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous sounds.

828
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, and I hope that this kind of thing changes.

829
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: But that answer summarized to me why I'm worried now,

830
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: Not so much about the football program. I'm excited about

831
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to talking to this new coach, but

832
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 4: why I'm still worried about the athletics department. That answer,

833
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 4: to me was the symbol as to why we'll take

834
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 4: a break. Right back to KSR. Welcome back, Teke you

835
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 4: Sports Radio A five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven.

836
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: A couple of people are saying that the press conference

837
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: was on WLAX in Lexington, which it was. That's the

838
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 4: official TV station, So again like that you only get

839
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 4: them through the official TV stations, which is which is

840
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 4: the same as it being on our station. Look from

841
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 4: a selfish respect, it's great that it's only on the

842
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 4: station you're listening to me on now, but from a

843
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 4: program perspective that doesn't help. And again I'll note, if

844
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 4: it's such a great idea, why does no other.

845
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: School in the country do it?

846
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 4: We finish four and eight and five and seven, and

847
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 4: then I get told that what we're doing is brilliant.

848
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 3: I think that.

849
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 4: I think if you know there are people who say

850
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 4: to me, why don't you just trust what he's going

851
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 4: to do when we're going ten and two, then Ryan,

852
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: I'll trust and not ask questions.

853
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 5: He is the leader of one of the most powerful

854
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 5: entities in our state and here trying to get us

855
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 5: to support it and be behind it. Well, then explain

856
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 5: it to us. That is your kuinding in that your

857
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 5: duty is the leader to explain why you want us

858
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 5: to support your new entity that you've in.

859
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 4: When you surround yourself with only people who agree with you,

860
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 4: or you only allow entities that agree with you to

861
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: ask you questions, you become separated from the rest of

862
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 4: the world. And we see it in politics and we

863
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: have seen it in sports. That's why I give so

864
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 4: much credit to people but like Mark Stoops, who would

865
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: come on here after they were critical when I was

866
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 4: critical of cal what did he do stopped coming on.

867
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask Mitch to come on. I hope he will.

868
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 3: But the more criticism he's gotten over the years, they've retreated.

869
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 4: And I love Tom Leach, but Tom Leech is not

870
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 4: gonna ask those questions because he's paid by them. But

871
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 4: when is the and then the very few times you

872
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 4: get a question from somebody who's not paid by UK, you.

873
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: Get that reaction. That's a problem. It just is.

874
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna let it ruin day because Will's

875
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 4: gonna be awesome here in a few minutes.

876
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: But it just is.

877
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 2: Leave a side that he doesn't know how to handle

878
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: it and was clearly unhinged and shaking. That was an

879
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: opportunity to get more. Like he's saying it up like

880
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: we're good, stop asking coal miner for fifty blocks. If

881
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: we're so good, that should have been We're in a

882
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 2: great spot, but we can always do better. For will Stein,

883
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: we got to feed these studs. I like where we're at,

884
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: but we need to keep this energy going. No, he said,

885
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 2: it's enough, all right, so we're good. Cut it off.

886
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: Nobody needs to donate with.

887
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: Ever, that's all.

888
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: You gotta figure out that was a chance to ask

889
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: for more and say we're going to do better. Who

890
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: wants to anything, just be like, I'm good, we're done here,

891
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: no more, tell us you need more, say you're working

892
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: to get more. But it was like, no, everybody, shut up,

893
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: We're fine.

894
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: That's a really good point. I hadn't thought about that.

895
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: Who's next, shit, Dave, Dave, go ahead, Dave.

896
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: He could take you.

897
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 7: Prayers for your day's speedy recovery.

898
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: Matt, thank you very much, sir.

899
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 7: I know it's I know it's a football centric, David.

900
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 7: I got a basketball question real quick. Unless I'm missing things.

901
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 7: There's literally nothing being said about the injuries about j Q,

902
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 7: about low Diabat, and there's there's work going around that.

903
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 7: The Diabate thing is that there's some disciplinary issues involved.

904
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 7: I hope you've heard something, and.

905
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 3: Georgie, yeah, I don't think.

906
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: I have not heard that it's disciplinary beyond just people speculating.

907
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 4: I think it's an injury. We saw him go down,

908
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 4: you know, so, I mean, I it's tough. I mean

909
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 4: I I will go into the Carolina game at some point.

910
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 4: I mean, you can't lose that game and then you did.

911
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 4: We're just not very good and that stinks. But we're

912
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 4: just not very good, I know.

913
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: And with the so much excitement and the National Championship

914
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 2: expectations to just be oh and three at this point,

915
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: none of us considered oh and three. Some people you

916
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 2: I can't remember who picked what. Some people probably had

917
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: us losing the Louisville maybe losing Owen, but oh and

918
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 2: three and getting blown out in two of them and

919
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 2: having a ten minute scoring drought in the other. It

920
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 2: just doesn't get you excited for We're.

921
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 3: Just not very good.

922
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 4: And I actually had listened to a podcast on my

923
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 4: drive to Knoxville where the guy talked about how the

924
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 4: you know, in the NBA, they're always looking for the

925
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 4: next thing, and the next thing in the NBA right

926
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 4: now in offense is offensive rebounds. Basically, if you look

927
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 4: at the offensive rebound rate in the NBA, it has

928
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: exploded this year. Teams like the team that would have

929
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 4: led the league in offensive rebounds five years ago is

930
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 4: now like nineteenth like, offensive rebounds has become the focus

931
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 4: and people crash the boards. I thought, I listened to

932
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 4: that and I go, oh, that's interesting. I'm gonna I

933
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 4: want to look at some of that stats. I want

934
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: to see how it applies to college basketball. And then

935
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: I saw that we gave up twenty two second chance

936
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 4: points to North Carolina.

937
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 5: They had twenty offensive rebounds nor Caroline, but.

938
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 3: Basically they were like all this.

939
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: Essentially what the NBA coaches realized is with so many

940
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 4: threes being shot, what do threes lead to long rebounds?

941
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 4: And the thing to exploit is now you have a

942
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 4: better chance of getting offensive rebounds because if you position

943
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 4: yourself right, the rebounds coming out longer, better chance to

944
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 4: come to the offensive player. And the Houston Rockets specifically

945
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: have decided offensive rebounding would be their thing and it's

946
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: worked amazingly well. And I was like, man, that's really interesting.

947
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 4: I wonder if we'll start thinking about that in college.

948
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: And then twenty two offense twenty two second chance points

949
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: that night to North Carolina.

950
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 3: I was like, maybe Hubert Davis listen to that podcast.

951
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 5: Poor Malechiva doing everything he could, but man, they were

952
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 5: just they all crashed the glass. That big guy they've got,

953
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 5: just a big, strong button post player that got every offensive.

954
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 3: Rebound they weren't. He likes it all right.

955
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 4: We will have Will Stein here next on K S

956
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 4: R's first interview returns Kentucky Sports Radio
