56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a motorcade.

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: So does the heat like, does does he have a

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: good heater on that sleigh? Like? How that it's gotta

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 2: be freezing cold up in that that air.

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I'll bet he's got nipples like shot glasses at this bang.

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's there's a whoa out there.

00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: can see his nose.

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,919

Speaker 3: like live forever stuff. I think, are there are there?

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Like maybe just like they have little dancers and prancers

70
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: and Rudolph's and all that, Like do they just have

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: little ones like they go into training too, they go

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: into to rein their school. Maybe that's what it is.

73
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: I mean they were doing that with Shamu when that

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: was really really popular. You know they do it with

76
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: the dog in uh In Georgia, right, they do it

77
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: with with the hound in uh In, Tennessee.

78
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, but this is Santa Claus

79
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: next level, next level stuff here. He didn't need all

80
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: the the underlings. He's got his elves. They get to work,

81
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: He gets up there and he starts delivering the goods here.

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: So how does he continue to find that type of workforce?

83
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: And and in this day and age that we live

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: in where everybody's so touched sensitive and stuff like that,

85
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: do you think people complain about their not being like

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: equal opportunities and and different people there to work? Like?

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,280

Speaker 3: uh listened.

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,000

90
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: turned into like a racial discussion or you know, a

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: certain certain community.

Speaker 5: This to say, everybody's you know, announcing what they're doing.

160
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: I'm announcing that I'm going into portal, I'm announcing that

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 5: I'm resigning. How about you announced that you're getting better

162
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 5: and you're going to practice and like actually do what

163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: the twenty and thirty years of college football players did

164
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: before you, which was practice in December when they're on

165
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 5: good teams and get better.

166
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: So, Kirby Smart, I'm not happy with.

167
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: The pipe dream the press kids. That's on the rules

168
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: rules makers. Yeah, they announced, and that's that's the trend.

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: I announced when you. Kirby Smart wants me to come

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: play for him, and I will announce when I'm leaving.

171
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart like you, I ain't never heard you complain

172
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: about the announcements of committing to the school. So to me,

173
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: he's right, He's right. Jones, No, I agree. You know,

174
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: he's right about the idea of it, the concept of it,

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: the belief of it, the value of it. But you

176
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: also have to live in the reality of what exists

177
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: right now, and that's the culture you're in. And either

178
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: you evolve or you die. And they say that's why

179
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: the dinosaurs disappear, you know, they say that's why certain

180
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: species disappear, They go extinct because they didn't find a

181
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: way to evolve and continue to thrive. It's much like

182
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: the coaching profession, and that is a very real thing

183
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: at this point in college football is being able to

184
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: adjust and adapt and evolve to the ever changing landscape

185
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: of what it is. The transfer portal is a major

186
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: part of it. Nil Paying these athletes it is a

187
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: major part of it. And listen, you saw Sabans frustrated

188
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: enough to walk away altogether. He still had a lot

189
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: of great years left at him. He chose to walk away.

190
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: That's fine. Sometimes being the best you is looking at

191
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: what the worst you could possibly be and taking your chips,

192
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: pulling them away from the table and going and cashing

193
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: them men before you give them all back. So I'd

194
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: say this, I'd issue a word of caution to Kirby

195
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: Smart because you could be hot today and you could

196
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: be cold tomorrow. You know that type of talk that

197
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: could be a turnoff to not only kids, but a

198
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: lot of times what people don't realize is how big

199
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: an influence the family is to these kids. Whether it's

200
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: the mom. More often than not, it's the mom, a

201
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: lot of times it's the dad, but sometimes it's another

202
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: could be a grandparent, could be an uncle, could be

203
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: an aunt, could be a cousin. You don't know. The

204
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: list run runs on and on and on, and you

205
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: have to be aware of what's the worth and the

206
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: value of what you're doing with these kids, what you're

207
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: saying about them. You got to pay attention to every

208
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: little thing because these other schools will prey on it.

209
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: And these parents and these family members that are representing

210
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: these kids are paying attention to it. Every little thing counts,

211
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: every the little thing matters. And while some parents may

212
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: like that Jonas, there may be other parents that's sitting

213
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: there like, yeah, you're damn right, we're leaving you, damn right.

214
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: We're announcing it, like mind your business. Coach my coach

215
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: my kid, and that's what you need to do. And listen.

216
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I don't. I don't. I don't think

217
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: that's healthy for for the kids development. But I'd also

218
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: say I'd be naive to think that that's not what's

219
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: really going on out here. It's a money game. It's

220
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: a numbers game. They've convinced these kids that it's got

221
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: to be about the money and the family. They're going

222
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: after the money too, like people are going after the

223
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: cash rewards. So the transfer portal is bigger because it

224
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: represents leverage, it represents power to the people that are

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: helping these kids make their decisions. There's kids that are

226
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: leaving the go into transfer portal because they're upset about

227
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 2: not playing. But then there's the other ones that are

228
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: using it as a leverage tool to get the school

229
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: that they're at to come up and pony up more money,

230
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: or to go get more money somewhere else.

231
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: I agree with Kirby Smart. I think you probably agree

232
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: with Kirby Smart. The problem is two pass out of

233
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: the tube, Like, I don't see any possible way it

234
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: goes back to where things were as as he mentioned,

235
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, twenty thirty years prior to where players are

236
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: just focused on getting better in December. Because nowadays you

237
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: actually can make a living playing college football, which is

238
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: wild to say, like it's wild and you can do it,

239
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: and it's allowed, and in fact it's celebrated. Like you've

240
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: got guys on social media announcing contract extensions, like they

241
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: committed to a school and a year later they're signing

242
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: extensions and it shows them like as if they're in

243
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL signing a contra tracked at a desk and

244
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: there's a picture like it. The game has completely changed.

245
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: And so when you hear his frustration and you mentioned

246
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Look, Dabo Swinny's been bitching about this stuff

247
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: for how long.

248
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: Now we got in a couple of days.

249
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: I mean Jeff Hafley, who left Boston College as their

250
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: head coach, stepped down to go be a defensive coordinator

251
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: with the Packers.

252
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's gonna work out because he's

253
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job with Green Bay. He's going to

254
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL. But he recognized, Yeah,

255
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: where this is headed. I don't know that I want

256
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: to operate under these conditions, so I've got to go elsewhere.

257
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: I just think it's at the point now to where

258
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and you've seen coaches do this before,

259
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: you've got to adapt or die. Like for years, you

260
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: remember when coach k Mike Krzhevski, you nw it was

261
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: a duke. The one thing Duke was always celebrated for

262
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: was guys stay all four years and guystal Is stay

263
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: there all four years and then all of a sudden,

264
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: Corey mcgetty, I think Elton Brand like some of these

265
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: guys started bailing after a year. And I think Mike

266
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Skrzyzewski recognized, Man, those days, guy control it he can't,

267
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: and so he had to a daft or die and

268
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: he had to figure it out. It's why he's arguably

269
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the best, one of the best coaches in the history

270
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: of sports, because he was able to win national titles

271
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: not just in one era, but in two or three eras.

272
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: And I just look at it and I go, this

273
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: is the way.

274
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: They went on this one though? Could he win in

275
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: this area? I mean, all things given, I think it's

276
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: just luck of the draw man, big bank, little bank.

277
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: That's how I look at it. That's how I see it.

278
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: Big bank, little bank, who's ever gone open up their

279
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: their pockets, and that community supports it and they fund

280
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: these athletes because there's going to come times where you're

281
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: offered something and it's very comparable to other places. And

282
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: now it just comes down to decision making, right and

283
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: it may not always go the way people thought it

284
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: would have gone. You might choose a different school over

285
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State, you know, for one reason or another. You know,

286
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: it could be the weather. You know, I'm going through

287
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: it with my kids right now. They get homesick, you know,

288
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: So you could have a kid that ends up getting

289
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: the same type of money that he would have got

290
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: to go somewhere else, and they end up going to

291
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: a school that isn't one of the traditional powers just

292
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: because it's close to home, you know. So there's a

293
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: lot of different factors that could play into why a

294
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: kid chooses something over the other. Or I got here,

295
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be here anymore, whatever it may

296
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: have been. And this is where I find the biggest

297
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: issue in it, Jonas, is is that I feel as though,

298
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: for one, it creates a false sense of achievement, a

299
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: false sense of accomplishment because it's year to year. It's

300
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: year to year. You could f it up, it could

301
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: be done in a year and for but it was

302
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: worth You went from making no money to making seventy

303
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: five grand, and you thought you were about to be

304
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: a millionaire. And they don't even want you anymore. New

305
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: coach comes in, they looked at your film, they're not

306
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: impressed with it. They're telling you go ahead, seek other opportunities.

307
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: So it's creating, it's doing away with the idea of

308
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: what you mentioned with Shazyshewski is the idea of development, right,

309
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: the idea of understanding how to fit into a work environment,

310
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: to beyond schedule, beyond time to manage and balance. That's

311
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: the growth of a person, and in this particular category,

312
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: the building of a boy into a man, like I

313
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: became a man when I went to college. Sure I

314
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: got up on time when I was in high school,

315
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: Sure I got up early. I did extra things there.

316
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: But the idea of it, you're away from your family,

317
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: you have responsibilities. There's consequences and repercussions to you not

318
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: keeping up with the responsibilities that you have, and you

319
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: have to do it on your own.

320
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: And you kept your word and you kept your commitment.

321
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I was ready to transfer. Man. I

322
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: always tell the story to a couple of people. After

323
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: my freshman year, I didn't play, and I thought I

324
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: would come in and play. I was like, all right,

325
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it the spring. You know, I went

326
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: through the spring and wasn't starting. We finished up spring.

327
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: I gave it everything I had. And the dude that

328
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 2: was in front of me was just as good as

329
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: all American as I was. And he was a red shirt.

330
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: So you're a rich shirt sophomore. I'm a true sophomore

331
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: going I'm going We're going into our sophomore years, and

332
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: you're beating me. Out I almost transferred Zonus. But that

333
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: goes back to the conversation, right, It's kind of like

334
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: I was the number one rated player in the country

335
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: coming out of high school. I was the national Player

336
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: of the Year for Parade. And you know, who knows

337
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: what I would have been able to command money wise

338
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: coming out of high school or what my brand would

339
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: have looked like I played football in Pittsburgh.

340
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 3: I mean, so, how what do you think?

341
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: What do you think the check for you and or

342
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn would have been had you guys played nowadays?

343
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, I do not know, but I

344
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: will say when you think about just kind of I

345
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: think about the way I was treated in how I

346
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: was handled by the coaching staff, and you just can't.

347
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 2: You can't handle athletes like that anymore like some of them.

348
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: You can't like my kid, you can discipline him like

349
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: my kid was disciplined for something he really like. The

350
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: dude was supposed to check in, now this is a

351
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: life lesson. Dude was supposed to check in for breakfast

352
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: at seven am. He's on the toilet at six fifty

353
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: eight and doesn't come out until seven oh one and

354
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 2: had to do a power hour had had to be

355
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: he was disciplined for it. Like to me, that's there's

356
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: no reason to discipline a kid if he's there, you

357
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: know he's there, Like if he told you I was

358
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: in the restroom and he's one minute late, like he

359
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: was there, But it doesn't matter, right you were, you

360
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: hold it, tell them I'm here, I'm going to the restroom.

361
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: Go to the restroom. That's the lesson, right to these

362
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: kids out here these days, they'd be like you never

363
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: believe what they did to me today.

364
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm attacked.

365
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: I had to go do this power hour because I

366
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: was I had to go tax that toilet, you know

367
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like this crazy, I'm out of here.

368
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: And then you know what the parents be like, yeah,

369
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: we out of here, son, Like where are we going?

370
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: Like let's let's get on the phone with the like

371
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna figure it out. We out of here, We're

372
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: gonna hit the portal. Like cats don't be feeling like

373
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: working out, Jonas, Like I think I'll sit out working

374
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: out today, Like what, Yeah, I'm tired, Like don't feel

375
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: like doing it today. And you're looking at some of

376
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: these cats and it's just it's a different day. And

377
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: age man and either you can develop or already have

378
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: the patience to be able to handle it in a

379
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: way where you can be successful and not stress yourself

380
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: out to the point of where you're stressing your coaching

381
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: staff out, to where your coaching staff and you are

382
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: stressing your kids out. And then all this stress that's

383
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: going around people didn't pay attention. People aren't paying attention

384
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: to the behind the scenes amounts of stress that are

385
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: going on at these programs. I mean, I look at

386
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: what happened to Penn State this year. If you ask me,

387
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: the nil play a major part in the stress level

388
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: of Penn State and the happiness factor and the belief

389
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: factor in one another, or you know, teammates not being leaders,

390
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: like how can you be a leader if this dude

391
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 2: is making more money than you? And that happens. It

392
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: happens in the league, it happens now in college. There's

393
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: something to be said, and it might be not looked

394
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: at and view that right now, but it's something to

395
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: be said about the idea that the money changes not

396
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: only the dynamic of how you recruit and how you

397
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: retain the kids, but it also changes the whole entire

398
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: dynamic of the team and the environment that you're in

399
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: from the locker room, Like you go out to the

400
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: parking lot, this guy's driving a six hundred series, a

401
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: sixth series bends. This guy's over here with an X five.

402
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: This guy's probably a better player. He ain't even getting

403
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: nowhere near the money these guys are getting like it,

404
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: like I'm jealous, I wish I could have that type

405
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: of car. Da da da. Then you're, you know, the

406
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: coaching staff, like how do you handle these players? Like

407
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: there's like the whole idea of you can only say

408
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: so much to them these days. It totally has changed

409
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: the camaraderie factor in the locker room. Like that parking

410
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: lot comes into the locker room, dudes might be ready

411
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: to fight a little quicker than what they would over

412
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: just caught playing the dozens or anything like that. The

413
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: stakes have been taken so high because money always changes things.

414
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking when you were talking

415
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: about that, Because I do wonder if we're at the

416
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: point now where you have to factor that in when

417
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: evaluating how teams are actually going to be Because this happened, absolutely,

418
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: this happens in the end of look perfect example. Remember

419
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, the Eagles signed all those players nomdi awesome one.

420
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: All those guys, what were they five hundred that year?

421
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Five hundred team that year. So, and I say that

422
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: to say this. If you go back to the preseason

423
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: top twenty five, here was your top four. Texas, Penn State,

424
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and Clemson. Three of the four were nowhere

425
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: to be found in the national title picture. You mentioned

426
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: Penn State, there was Texas. Clemson was a disaster. There

427
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: was Dabo Swinney. Could he be fired? Could he be

428
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: on his way out? Conversations? Ohio State kept there undo

429
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: the bargain. But I wonder if they're something to what

430
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: you're saying to where yeah, you can look at and

431
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: say how many five stars, how many four stars, how

432
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: many Blue Chippers you've got, But now you have to factor.

433
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: In you got to deal with those personality.

434
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: Percent and those personalities with money.

435
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's

436
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: not because in college you could deal with the personality

437
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: like they come in it's like, oh, you're in college now,

438
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: you're in college now, Like you come in now, like yeah,

439
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm in college now, and I'm collecting high mid six figures.

440
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm in college now, yeah, I'm commanding seven figures. Well, oh,

441
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: you're amanding seven figures in high school while your offensive.

442
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 3: Linemen who are blocking for you are making a fraction

443
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: of that.

444
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: If that, well, now everybody gets something, right. So but

445
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: again that there's that, there's that friction, right, there's that.

446
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: There's that like I'm looking at them like I am

447
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: the center of this team, or I am the one

448
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: that protects your blind side, Like I don't have that

449
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: nice car. I don't like do I have to? Just

450
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: everybody is going to be that I don't want the

451
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: attention in their spotlight. Some of them are going to

452
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: be jealous. Some of them are going to look at

453
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: you like you're this entitled, little spoiled pratt And that's

454
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: your teammate. Y'all supposed to be on a love deal

455
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: and y'all not, y'all hating on one another. How does

456
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: that play into the whole Dayton game? You know, you

457
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: dating somebody I might have wanted to date or whatever

458
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: it may be, Like you're more popular. I mean there

459
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: was always more popular guys anyway, But maybe now there's

460
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: a dude that wasn't necessarily popular, but they making more money.

461
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: Like maybe dude ugly and he got two three girls

462
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: that you want. You know, you just take your pick

463
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: as one of them, man, take one. Like, no, he

464
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: took all of them. He can afford to hang out

465
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: with all of them. You know, you got to deal

466
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: with that. It's funny, but it's true. One of the

467
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: biggest beats, hey man, one of the biggest beasts that

468
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: people will never talk about are women in college. The

469
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: competition on campus for women in college. It's very real.

470
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: It's very real. It's very real, man, And that could

471
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: create conflict. And you got dudes that might have the

472
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: money to do it. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I

473
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: ain't gotta keep going. But these are all the issues

474
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: that you can't put you know how they say there's

475
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: stats that you can't. You can't you look at and

476
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: you can't put the stat down and say what the

477
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: relevance of it is. But you know it's there, and

478
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: you know it's important. These are the conversations that people

479
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: should be having about where we're at with the current

480
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: position of where college football, the state of college football is.

481
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart is only looking at it merely from a

482
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: very very narrow scope in terms of what it represents

483
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: to the field. But you got to you gotta widen

484
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: that scope of what the pressures and what has been

485
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: created by this nil era of time along with the

486
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: portal money in portal that's changed everything. So you got

487
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: to open up the lens. You got to look at

488
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: the conversation as a wider conversation. And Jonas, you can't

489
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: ignore it, No, you can't. Coaches ignore these topics, right,

490
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: they'll work that out. You only you only you know,

491
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: you only mess with it when something happens.

492
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: Well, like we get it.

493
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,200

494
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,480

495
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: they didn't live up to the expectations, but three of

496
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: the top four this year like nowhere to be found,

497
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,840

589
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: to somebody in the NFL right now.

590
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: Best gig.

591
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: In the league goes to Deshaun Watson because, according to

592
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: his head coach, Kevin Stefanski, Eah, we're all good here.

593
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: For the year. On the roster.

594
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 8: We will not activate DeShawn, so he will go to reserve,

595
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 8: back to reserve pup. But really proud of the progress

596
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 8: that he's making, doing a really nice job in the

597
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 8: meeting room on the field of these last few weeks.

598
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: So all you gotta do is be in the meeting room,

599
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: hang out on the field, and you're going to get

600
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: every cent of that monster contract.

601
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: What else is there to do?

602
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, And by the way, this here's a little

603
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: of the details for anybody wondering, like how long is

604
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: this going to go on? For the Cleveland brown still

605
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: owe Deshaun Watson forty six million dollars in salary next season.

606
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: His cap hit for twenty twenty six eighty point seven million,

607
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: the largest in the NFL. If the Browns were to

608
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: cut Watson before June first, they would incure an NFL

609
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: record dead cap charge of one hundred and thirty one

610
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: million dollars. If Cleveland released Deshaun Watson with a post

611
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: June one designation, the dead cap would be split into

612
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars in twenty twenty six and the remaining

613
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: fifty million in twenty twenty seven. The record for dead

614
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: cap money by the way goes to Russell Wilson and

615
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos at eighty five million, which was split

616
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: into fifty three million and thirty two million dollar charges

617
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: over two years.

618
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: So it's just that might be what happens though, I mean,

619
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: and it could be based around why you know, what

620
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: Denver was able to do post Russell Wilson. That could

621
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: be the way they look at it, because otherwise, I mean,

622
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: you heard you heard Stefanski say I'm proud of them

623
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: and stuff like the things that he was saying and

624
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: speaking about him, it sounds as though you're trying to

625
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: make sure you maintain the relationship And the only reason

626
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: why you would not be short and actually feel compelled

627
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: to say the things that he said because those things

628
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: aren't those things aren't maintaining his value, right, Him saying

629
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: that doesn't make him more tradable. Right, You're not going

630
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: like all the coach talked so well about how he

631
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: was behind the scenes. Yeah, we're going to take a

632
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: chance on him. Oh wait, we got to absorb what

633
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: we got to take on what contracts? Oh yeah, well

634
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: we could go in a different We'll go over here,

635
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: like I think we're in the we're in the wrong

636
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: department store.

637
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: We'll take We'll take somebody toxic for half off half

638
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: the price.

639
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, right, So uh uh. You know, when

640
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: you look at it from that angle and that lens,

641
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: you'd have to assume Stefanski's being genuine and what he's

642
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: saying about the Shaw. So that makes me like listening

643
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: to that sound by it leads me to believe is

644
00:33:55,560 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: Stefanski's there, He's still looking at this being an open

645
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: quarterbacks conversation and competition.

646
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: I think that Stefanski's looking around going, I mean, I'm

647
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: just gonna play nice the last couple of weeks, so

648
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: hopefully I can also get the hell out of here,

649
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: like I got to go somewhere where I can actually

650
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: be the head coach for an organization that has some

651
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: semblance of a plan at quarterback and not whatever it

652
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: is that we rolled out this year which made no

653
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: sense whatsoever. Don't blindside me with a deal to bring

654
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: into Shaun Watson. We part ways with Baker Mayfield, and

655
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: some of the reports where the Kevin Stefanski and Baker

656
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Mayfield weren't seeing eye to eye and they had a

657
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a falling out. Whatever but don't blindside

658
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: me with the what we gave up to get Deshaun Watson.

659
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: Let's not continue on with the charade all the way

660
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: up until this season, when you know, we bring back

661
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, we draft two quarterbacks in the same draft,

662
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: and then you blindside me again by Trey Joe Flacco

663
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: inside the division, which I had no clue about and

664
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: no thought that that was gonna have. I think Stefanski's

665
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: just looking around, going, hey man, you know, hey, I'm

666
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: just gonna say nice things. I'm just gonna say nice

667
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: and hopefully I just shake hands, I'm out the door

668
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: and out of this circus tent, and I can go

669
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: get a job fifteen minutes later, because I think people

670
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: respect the work that I do.

671
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 3: I think he's just I think Stefanski's just over it

672
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 3: at this point.

673
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if things have taken a turn for

674
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: the better in his favor all those things that you said,

675
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 2: What if somebody is actually doing this one thing that

676
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: people don't exercise, what is that? Oh? Yeah, common sense?

677
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: What if somebody is up top seeing what it is

678
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 2: that you're saying. All right, there could be a possibility

679
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: that they're looking at Stefanski, who's like, man, like, just

680
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: let this man do what he's going to do, like

681
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: this season, let him like, let him let him have

682
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: it the way he wants to have it, Like, let's

683
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: let's get his input on that. How does it feel

684
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: with the conversations with the GM and the decision makers

685
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: on personnel? How do we really really service you as

686
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: our head coach in the best way possible? If he's

687
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: in that type of scenario, then I would say, if

688
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: you're if you're able to survive the type of situations

689
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: that Stefanski has then and by the way, he's been

690
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: a Coach of the Year for you two times.

691
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So why wouldn't you.

692
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you be upbeatn positive about moving forward? If

693
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: finally you've seen people who have taken the reins and

694
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 2: said we're going to make the decisions and they've jacked

695
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: it up terribly, you know, maybe he's in a good situation.

696
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: Now do you believe that that at this point if

697
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: they haven't done that yet based on what he's done

698
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: for the organization, that they would.

699
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: Start now, it's just hard.

700
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 2: It's hard to it's hard to know, right, Like something

701
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 2: could have happened there. There could have been a life

702
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: experience that altered the way somebody sees the world. Right,

703
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 2: somebody might have had a near death experience and had

704
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 2: an epiphany that they just need to be a better person.

705
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the holiday season. Maybe it could be

706
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: a new Year's resolution to try to be more open,

707
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: or I just don't you don't know what could change

708
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: somebody's outlook on how they handle things.

709
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 3: Their draft class has been really good, Miles.

710
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: They've had good players.

711
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: Yes, like it's it's that quarterback position, Like it's that

712
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: they can't And you could say that about a lot

713
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: of teams in the NFL. But man, the Deshaun Watson

714
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: and they mentioned Russell Wilson and look that that deal,

715
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: you know, was a disaster, but now you look at

716
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: it and you go, well, Seattle's.

717
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 3: Good again, Denver's good again. The Browns.

718
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: The Deshaun Watson stuff is going to be looked at

719
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: historically as the worst deal in the history of the sport,

720
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: like the worst, and there's not even a close second.

721
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: And Kevin Stefanski's the coach having to try and navigate

722
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: those waters. And somehow he's been coaching the year twice somehow,

723
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: and like I just think he looks at it and goes,

724
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm wasting my time here, Like, let me get me somewhere.

725
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: That's why. Look if Cincinnati.

726
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: Too, it's too good of a gig to try to

727
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: pivot unnecessarily, and and for what it's worth, it doesn't

728
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 2: matter if it's the Saints, if it's the Browns, doesn't matter.

729
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: Thirty two of them jobs exists. Thirty two in the

730
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: entire world exists, and he has one. It's too good

731
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 2: of a gig. Too good of a gig.

764
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 9: So the good gentleman I got for us the NBA

765
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 9: has actually recently gathered some pulling to see if they

766
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 9: can try and combat new ways to prevent teams from tanking.

767
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 9: Have gone on to say they're suggesting and brainstorming ideas,

768
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 9: maybe to no longer allowing a team to draft in

769
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 9: the top four two years in a row, and maybe

770
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 9: even locking lottery positions after March first. They're looking at

771
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 9: possible things to help combat this.

772
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,279
