Speaker 2: of the.

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: Program, Yeah, we got up there right now. Would you

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: rather play football and Notre Dame or USC. Notre Dame

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 3: is still barely leading this one ahead.

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: I think that says a lot.

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: Notre Dame USC is a great place to live, obviously

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 3: in an unbelievable program, but Notre Dame beating them out's

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: pretty good.

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: I think that the line is like eight eight points.

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: Notre Dame over USC seems like a lot after what

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: yous a lot like USC roughed up Michigan, although they

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: got a tough schedule. They got Oregon coming up as

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: well after this, but this is feels like an elimination

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 2: game for Notre Dame. You have to win this game

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: if you have any hopes of being in the playoffs.

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauling and Notre Dame, they started really tough with

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: their schedule, and I wouldn't say it eases up, but

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: there's a lot of winnable games in the back half.

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Since two thousand, Notre Dame is twenty two and seventeen

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: against ranked teams at Notre Dame Stadium. We're sort of

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: in the shadows of Notre Dame Stadium. Here a beautiful day,

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: although weather could be an issue on Saturday. It looks

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: like they're calling for rain as well. A seven seven

Speaker 2: Carson Palmer on the program look at you, big successful

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: head coach there. When I say Notre Dame, first thing

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: that comes to mind is what.

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: Phenomenal memories? You know.

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 6: I was a Notre Dame recruit, really wanted to go

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 6: to Notre Dame, went on a trip there, went on

51
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 6: an official visit, went to a camp there, kind of

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 6: fell in love with it, so it was a special

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 6: place to me. And then at the end, just USC

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 6: won my heart and got me. But we had some

55
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 6: great battles against them, and obviously one of the best,

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 6: one of the best, you know traditions in all of

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 6: college football.

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: Wait, how do they win your heart?

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 5: There were Notre Dame you know, No.

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: How did USC when your heart or steal your heart?

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 6: Well, coach, you know the coaching staff. I got really

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 6: close to the coaching staff. I was close to home.

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: I was only an hour an hour and a half.

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 6: Away, so I got a chance to spend some more

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 6: time at sc on campus. I got to talk to

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 6: a bunch of the guys that were part of that

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 6: recruiting class, and just at the end of the day,

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 6: I wanted to stay close to home where my family

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 6: could watch me play.

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: Do you have to call certain coaches to say I'm

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: not coming to your school?

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 5: I did. I did. That was tough.

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 6: That was that was That was the first kind of

74
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 6: big boy moment of my life because I got you know,

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 6: I got close to coaches throughout that process, and I

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 6: remember when I had to I remember the day I

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: had to call Rick new Heiseel.

78
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: Rick new Heisel was at University of Colorado. I loved Colorado.

79
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 6: I spent some time there as well, and Coach new

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 6: Heiseel recruited me hard and often, and I had to

81
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 6: I had to make that call. I had to let

82
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 6: them know, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

83
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: And so that is a part of it. That is

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 6: a big part of it. I know, I feel like

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 6: the public doesn't really understand that. They think, oh, whatever,

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 6: everybody's up for grabs now. But you create these relationships,

87
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 6: you create these connections. They come and watch you play,

88
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 6: they come and watch you practice, you spend time with

89
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 6: them and there is a real genuine connection and it's

90
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 6: hard for these kids to have to do.

91
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: You got a wild recruiting story. You don't have to

92
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: have any names, but.

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. Rick new Heisel knew how to recruit.

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: We had a blast at Colorado in one recruiting weekend.

95
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 6: We went paintballing. We floated down the river and inner

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 6: tubes and ended at a barbecue. He rented out a

97
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 6: bar and let only the football recruits and girls from

98
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 6: campus in.

99
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: We and you turned that down.

100
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 5: No, you couldn't turn any of it down. It was phenomenal.

101
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: The food we ate.

102
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 6: You know, he was flying in lobsters from Maine and

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 6: crab cakes from from Baltimore.

104
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: It was amazing. He knew how to recruit.

105
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: Dang, and you passed that up. Well, you probably got

106
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: that at USC too, right.

107
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 5: It was pretty good at SCS.

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: Now you're a high school coach. I'm curious about the

109
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacking position and what is being taught, and it just

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: feels like everybody's in shotgun and nobody's under center. And

111
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: you know, we keep repeating these patterns, these habits. These

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: guys are going to get to college and kind of

113
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: get away with things or try to get away with

114
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: things out of the shotgun. How does it work with

115
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: your quarterbacks?

116
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 6: Well, we spend time in shotgun, but if you look

117
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 6: at the college game, there's a lot of kids in

118
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 6: the shotgun in college as well. We also spend a

119
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 6: ton of time, especially in spring ball. We spent a

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 6: majority of spring under center, just to learn it and

121
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 6: understand it. But you know, we're running the same stuff

122
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 6: that I was running in the NFL, the stuff that

123
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 6: I was taught, and you know, all the plays and

124
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 6: concept some reasons why you throw into this coverage and

125
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 6: away from this coverage that I was taught from all

126
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: the amazing coaches I was able to play for. So

127
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 6: we're we're running an NFL style system. We're definitely in shotgun.

128
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 6: We're under center a bit, but that's where the college

129
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 6: game is. And you know, I don't think it's that

130
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 6: much easier under center, because what people don't realize is

131
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 6: or I'm sorry, in shotgun. What people don't realize is

132
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 6: when you're in shotgun, you have to take your eyes

133
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 6: off the defense. When you're under center, you get to

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 6: see it all unfold, so you see the pre snap,

135
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 6: you see the pre snap coverage and then you see

136
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 6: the snap post snap coverage unfold after the snap as it's.

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: Developing, we're in shotgun.

138
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 6: It's hard because you got to look up, see the

139
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 6: defense and then find that ball and then look up

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 6: and the pictures a little bit different.

141
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: So you know, I don't I don't think it's a crutch.

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 6: I think it makes a little bit easier on the

143
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 6: center quarterback exchange. But again, you still see it at

144
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 6: the high school level and at the college level, snaps

145
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 6: flying over guys heads and bouncing on the ground. So

146
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: you know, we spend quite a bit of time in both,

147
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 6: and I think you see a bunch of kids in

148
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 6: college playing in the shotgun.

149
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: But I love under center, And I always go back

150
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: to a conversation I have with Joe Montana. He said,

151
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, he sees shotgun, but he said, I loved

152
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: under center because I'm getting the ball and everything is

153
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: in real time, so as I'm moving, defense is moving.

154
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: And he said it helped me kind of sync up

155
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: when I was going to throw a pack, like I

156
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: got in rhythm. It allowed me to get back in

157
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: the pocket and then step up in the pocket and

158
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: I think these quarterbacks now they're back in the pocket

159
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: and then they either scramble right or left.

160
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: That's a big piece of it. Another big piece of it,

161
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: too is the run game.

162
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 6: But when you're under center and you have a run

163
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: to the right, and that's a bad look. There's too

164
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 6: many guys on the defensive side on that side of

165
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 6: the ball. When you're under center, you can throw the

166
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 6: ball on these quick slants and quick hitches and get

167
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 6: the ball in receiver's hands much quicker than you can

168
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: from shotgun because it takes a minute from the ball

169
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 6: to get from center to the shot.

170
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: So from the run game perspective, I think there's some

171
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 5: advantages as well.

172
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 6: The quicker you get the ball in and out of

173
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 6: your hands and in your playmaker's hands, the better.

174
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 5: So I think I think it goes both ways with

175
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: the run and pass.

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: We're talking to Carson Palmer, Heisman Trophy winner two thousand

177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: and two and College Football Hall of Famer. You got

178
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers in their forties. How's that

179
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: possible in today's NFL in.

180
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 6: Some different color jerseys too, and some different looking helmets.

181
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 5: It's pretty amazing. I don't think, you know, in twenty

182
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 5: you know, seventeen.

183
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 6: Any of us were thinking that Rogers will be wearing

184
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 6: the black and gold and Flacco would be wearing the stripes.

185
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 6: It just it doesn't you know, it doesn't feel right.

186
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 6: But it also shows you, you know, where the game

187
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 6: is and the development of these young quarterbacks. There's just

188
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 6: not you know, there's not enough good young quarterbacks going

189
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 6: around that the Bengals can't can't rely on somebody other

190
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: than a Flacco, and the Steelers can't rely or develop

191
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 6: somebody other than a Rogers. So I think it's you know,

192
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 6: it's also a good illustration or where the state of

193
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: the game is as far as quarterbacks and young quarterback

194
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 6: play is.

195
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: But it still comes down to doing something from the

196
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: pocket right.

197
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 5: At the end of the day. You know, I've been

198
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: asked this.

199
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 6: There's been so many great quarterbacks that have come into

200
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 6: the game and been elite runners and great outside the pocket.

201
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, you still and in

202
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 6: order to play late into December and into January, you still,

203
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 6: in order to get there, you've got to be able

204
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 6: to stand in the pocket and deliver the football accurately

205
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 6: downfield when you're getting hit in the face. And I

206
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: know it's fun to watch quarterbacks drop back and scramble

207
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 6: and you know, run thirty five yards to get seven,

208
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 6: you know, on third and six, and you see him

209
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 6: flying all over the place.

210
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, you.

211
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 6: Know, you look at what Tom Brady did and his accomplishments.

212
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 6: He was standing in the pocket and delivering the ball

213
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 6: accurately down the field when he was getting hit in

214
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 6: the mouth.

215
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: But you see these quarterbacks now who have that first

216
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: read and then they pass up the first read. It's

217
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: almost like it's they now, I'm looking for something else.

218
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden you scramble out of

219
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: the pocket and you take away half the field when

220
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: you do that. We've seen this with Caleb with you know,

221
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: Cam like these young quarterbacks, as much talent as they have,

222
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: you got away with that in high school and college.

223
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: You can't get away with that in the pros.

224
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 5: Then you sound like me and all of our offensive

225
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: meetings from.

226
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 6: Talking with our quarterbacks or receivers in my line, I

227
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 6: say it to them over and over again, if you

228
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 6: don't throw it, they won't cover it. We're talking about

229
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: the flat, the quick out. Yeah, Well, if you don't

230
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 6: throw the flat, they won't cover it. So when it's open,

231
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 6: you got to take it. You can't go from your

232
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 6: first read into your second read and then go oh no,

233
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: shoot it's covered, and then go back to your first read.

234
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 6: And so you know, you sound a lot like me.

235
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 6: I'm preaching that every day in meetings. You know, we're

236
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 6: seven weeks in in our season at Santa Margarita.

237
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 5: And I'm saying the same thing.

238
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if you're in the NFL, if you're

239
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 6: in high school, if you're in fifth grade playing pee

240
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: wee pop warner foot ball. It's so much more fun

241
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 6: to throw the ball downfield. It's so much more fun

242
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 6: to thread the needle. But what's effective is taking that

243
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 6: first read and getting the ball out of your hands

244
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 6: and making the defense all sprint over there, run and

245
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 6: then have to get that guy on the ground.

246
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: What is that feeling like when you know you've got

247
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: a receiver open and you know you're going to get crushed,

248
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: but you have to stand there, take it, and then

249
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: you're able to deliver that pass.

250
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 6: Either love it or you hate it, And I loved it.

251
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 6: I kind of took that as a badge of honor.

252
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 6: You know, nothing felt better than letting.

253
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 5: The ball go. And right when you let it go,

254
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: you get crushed.

255
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 6: And then you feel that defender breathing down your neck,

256
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 6: talking trash, and as.

257
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 5: You're getting up, you just say, oh they're moving the change,

258
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: here we go.

259
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 6: So that that feeling and you know, those those aren't

260
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 6: the ones that hurt. The ones that hurt are the

261
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 6: ones that you're ready for and you're absorbing and you're

262
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 6: trying to tense up, kind of like being in a crash.

263
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 6: They say, you know, when when somebody's you know, drunk

264
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 6: behind the wheel, they never ended up getting hurt in

265
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 6: the crash because you don't you're not ready for it.

266
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 6: It's much like that when you're when you're focused downfield and.

267
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 5: You're getting ready to let the ball rip and you

268
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 5: throw it.

269
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 6: Your body isn't anticipating that contact, so you kind of

270
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 6: just absorb it as opposed to tense up and fight it.

271
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: Is there one that stands out that maybe still hurts.

272
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

273
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 6: You remember remember Sean big Baby Rogers University of Texas

274
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 6: defensive lineman.

275
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was in he was in Cleveland, and I

276
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 5: don't know how it happened.

277
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 6: It was the last game of the season. But he

278
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 6: landed up, or he ended up. I was on my

279
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 6: back and he sat on me. He fell from the sky,

280
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 6: but first right on my chest. And to this day

281
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 6: he dislocated my sternum from my rib cage. And to

282
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 6: this day I still feel that big, big baby Sean Rodgers,

283
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 6: phenomenal player, unreal player. I think he's in Detroit in

284
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 6: Cleveland as well, but he in it right, and I

285
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 6: just felt almost like a CPR when you get the

286
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 6: CPR those compressions.

287
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: He did his compressions with all three seventy of himself.

288
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: Are you is your high school team? The fighting Margarita's

Speaker 10: Dan Patrick described us when he came on our show.

359
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,680

Speaker 8: What you doing interrupting our promo?

361
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,800

362
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,000

Speaker 11: Yea.

370
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: Pauli has this bad habit of whenever we have current

371
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: or former football players on, he wants to know what

372
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: it feels like to either be blocked or tackled by them.

373
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: Last time we had Marcus Freeman. Marcus shows up and

374
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: he says, you're the guy I hit last time, and

375
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: and Paulie's sizing him up and he goes looks like

376
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: coach has lost a little bit of weight there season

377
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: We're not doing that.

378
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 8: I'm retired.

379
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: You're not gonna put a so is he not going

380
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: to put a helmet on? Yes, Marvin.

381
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 7: The scariest part was it was a slow motion demonstration. Hey,

382
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 7: I could hear. Oh, that's a slow motion.

383
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: He's Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame head coaches, fifth season and played,

384
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 2: of course at Ohio State, the Ohio State drafted by

385
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: the Bears, your Bears in the fifth round of two

386
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: thousand and nine. As we make way for Marcus Freeman

387
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: back on the program, Look at you.

388
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 8: How you're doing.

389
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, you know. Nice to talk to a

390
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: fellow Buckeye.

391
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 8: Here Ohio in Ohio and oh, I'm sorry. That's what

392
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 8: we'll say around here.

393
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 2: How would you compare because it came down to Notre

394
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: Dame in Ohio State for you, right, What was it

395
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: about Ohio State that made you, even though you're from Ohio,

396
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: but that you chose Ohio State over Notre Dame.

397
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 9: Really getting into this, huh, let's just get the tough

398
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 9: questions out of the way and then we'll have the

399
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 9: easy ones. I think they always come down to relationship.

400
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 9: A lot of decisions, especially for young people, are about relationships.

401
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 9: I just went through this with my son who committed

402
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 9: to Cornell for wrestling, and as a parent, you have

403
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 9: your reasons for why you make decisions, but young people

404
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 9: still base a lot of their decisions off of relationships.

405
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 9: And I think that was probably the eighteen year old

406
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 9: Marcus Freeman that made that decision based off relationships.

407
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: Comparing contrast USC Notre Dame versus Ohio State Michigan.

408
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 9: Very similar if you're in one of the schools, right,

409
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 9: if you're in it, so Notre Dame USC, when you're

410
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 9: a part of this football program, there's nothing bigger than

411
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 9: that rivalry. And I think the same thing is if

412
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 9: you go to Ohio State or Michigan, you're from Ohio,

413
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 9: there's probably nothing bigger than that rivalry.

414
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 8: And so.

415
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 9: For us when we talk about this, this rivalry verse

416
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 9: USC the longest intersectional rivalry meaning interconference, right, and I

417
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 9: mean I'm sorry, not interconference, but not in the same conference.

418
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 9: And that's what makes it special. It's kind of the

419
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 9: foundation of Notre Dame and the ability to go and say, hey,

420
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 9: we'll play anywhere in the country. We don't have a conference,

421
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 9: and that's how this program was built and That's why

422
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 9: it means a lot.

423
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 8: I mean, it's been going on for many years.

424
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but why is it in jeopardy?

425
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 8: Listen, I don't.

426
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 2: You know, do you want to talk about Ohio State.

427
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 9: Look, you know there's decisions that that institutions make based

428
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 9: off conference you know, scheduling and things like that, and

429
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 9: I know that's playing into some of the discussions that

430
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 9: USC is having. I'm sure with our administration and higher ups.

431
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 9: I'm sure you know, going back and forth on maybe

432
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 9: little details.

433
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: I think, uh So, I don't know.

434
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, it feels like the USC it's tough for

435
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: to throw in another great opponent when you're in the

436
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: Big ten, when there's quality opponents and you know, you

437
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: can't have three losses and be in the playoffs. Like,

438
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: let's just look at the business side of this. It

439
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: feels like USC means more to Notre Dame than Notre

440
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: Dame means to us. Six.

441
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know what we mean to them, but

442
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 8: I know it means a lot to us.

443
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 9: It does the rivalry, the quality of opponent, the respect

444
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 9: for the program. It is a it does mean a

445
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 9: lot to this university and this football program, and we

446
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 9: want to see it continue.

447
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: What was it like first time you took the field

448
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: as the head coach at Notre Dame.

449
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 8: Man, it's a it's a blur. I know.

450
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 9: It was in Phoenix, Arizona, Scottsdale. We were playing Oregon

451
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 9: No Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl, and you don't know.

452
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 9: What you don't know, you know, is adrenaline rush. You're

453
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 9: running out there. I'm used to being a defensive coordinator,

454
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 9: and then all of a sudden there was moments in

455
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 9: a game like I got a call time.

456
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, somebody called.

457
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: Time on to me, you know, And so all the

458
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: things that you kind of weren't involved in, yeah, you're

459
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: involved in.

460
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then now you have to be the one

461
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 9: to make those decisions. And so you learn through experience.

462
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 9: But that first one was a it was a blur.

463
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: But how important was it to make your debut in

464
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: a bowl game as opposed to starting your career during

465
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: the regular season. Did it matter?

466
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 8: You know? Did it matter?

467
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 9: I don't know what it would be like to not

468
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 9: start a career, not in a bowl game, you know,

469
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 9: So it's hard for me to.

470
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 8: Compare what that's like.

471
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 9: You know, we played Oklahoma State, we had time to

472
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 9: get ready for that opponent. But you wanted to say,

473
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 9: I mean, you had transition, you were a new head coach,

474
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 9: you had some guys that didn't.

475
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 8: Play in the game. You had to you know who's playing.

476
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 9: It was a unique time and there's unique times and

477
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 9: challenging times today, but I know in that moment, it

478
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 9: was just a whirlwind of different things trying to figure

479
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 9: this thing out.

480
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: But you're navigating and this is NIL and transfer portal

481
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: and it's just not coaching football. Like if it was

482
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: just coaching football, you'd probably have a saban would probably

483
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: still be coaching, But you throw in all the other

484
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: stuff here.

485
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're leading a program. You have to be adaptable.

486
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 9: You're not just yeah, as you said, a football coach.

487
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 9: You're You're a person that wears many hats and you

488
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 9: have to figure out what's important at that given time.

489
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 9: And I think that's what leadership is is that if

490
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 9: it's a recruiting hat, if it's an NIL hat, if

491
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 9: it's a football hat that you got to wear all

492
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 9: those different things. It's the ability to.

493
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 8: Put one on, take.

494
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 9: One off, and really focus on what needs to be

495
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 9: what needs to have your focus at that given moment.

496
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's almost like practice or games are the best

497
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: part of all of this because you're not worrying about

498
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: all the other nonsense.

499
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, you enjoy that.

500
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 9: That's probably the time you really get to be a

501
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 9: part of what attracted you to this profession, right, being

502
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 9: around the players, leading them, but also football, Like you

503
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 9: love the game of football, and you love the competition,

504
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 9: and you know Saturday is a reflection of how you.

505
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 8: Practice, and so yeah, you enjoy that probably the most.

506
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: We're talking to Marcus Freeman, a Notre Dame head coach

507
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: and of course hosting US. See we had Brady Quinn

508
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: on first hour. He said, your quarterback's best quarterback in

509
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 2: the country.

510
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 8: He said that, Yeah, I appreciate it. Man, he would know.

511
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 8: I mean, he's a quarterback.

512
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: He says, he's played better than everybody, anybody, And he said,

513
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: but he said, the tape doesn't lie. Now, I know

514
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: he's your quarterback, but tell me how you got him

515
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: and what did you think you got when you brought

516
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: him in.

517
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it's a unique recruiting experience. Talking about

518
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 9: the grandson of Lloyd Carr. I actually played in some

519
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 9: games against Lloyd Carr and you know, you have his

520
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 9: grandson that has interest in Notre Dame and it's real interest,

521
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 9: and then you're you're able to grow a relationship and convincing.

522
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 9: And he felt that this was the best place for him.

523
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 9: And I knew at that moment he was different, right

524
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 9: to a kid that grows up in ann Arbor, Michigan

525
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 9: has legacies of Michigan ties, and to say I want

526
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 9: to come to Notre Dame. That showed you he's a leader,

527
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 9: he's he doesn't follow trends. And then you get him here,

528
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 9: and we got him here for bowl practice. We're getting

529
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 9: ready for I can't remember. I think it was two years.

530
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 9: I can't remember who we're getting ready to play. But

531
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 9: he comes in, he's supposed to be in high school

532
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 9: and he starts practicing with us for a bowl game.

533
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 9: And he was a scout team quarterback. And I'll never forget,

534
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 9: like there was a.

535
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: Time so he graduated early from high school.

536
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it was this new rule that if you

537
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 9: graduated early, you could come and practice with a college team,

538
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 9: but you couldn't participate in the bowl game. But I

539
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 9: just remember it was one time he gets yelled at

540
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 9: by our defense coordinator at the time for not throwing

541
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 9: the ball maybe somewhere you're supposed to throw it.

542
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 8: And to see him.

543
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 9: Respond most kids would melt right and to see him

544
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 9: respond and say yes, sir, next time and just go

545
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 9: and go.

546
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 8: And I mean, I was like, this kid should be

547
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 8: in high school.

548
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 9: He's different man. And now two years later, he has

549
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 9: a unique Yes, he's.

550
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 8: A really good quarterback.

551
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 9: He's blessed with great skills, but he has a unique

552
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 9: trait that not many people have. And that's that competitive spirit,

553
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 9: that's that leadership mentality that he has.

554
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 8: And he's pretty special.

555
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: The schedule, I don't know if you had any say

556
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 2: in the schedule to start the year. Did you have

557
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: any say in playing Miami at Miami or I.

558
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 9: Don't know when that game will scheduled, But I wouldn't

559
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 9: have said no.

560
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but those are two tough games right out

561
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 2: of the right out of the gate. But can you

562
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: have good losses? You ever had a good loss?

563
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 8: No loss is a good loss. Losing is awful.

564
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 9: But I always say be grateful for the pain of

565
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 9: loss because that pain.

566
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 8: Is there to help you grow.

567
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 9: It's uncomfortable, It's no different than physically when you have

568
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 9: a cut on your arm, you want to do things

569
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 9: to stop the pain. Right, the same thing when you

570
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 9: lose a game, the pain is there for you to

571
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 9: learn from it, to get better and to make that

572
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 9: pain go away. So I always it stinks to lose.

573
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 9: Nobody wants to lose, especially if you're a competitor. But

574
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 9: you have have to utilize that pain to help you grow.

575
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 9: And so yeah, it's it's it's a good loss in

576
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 9: that sense that the pain was there to help us

577
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 9: get better.

578
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 8: And uh, I believe we did.

579
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 2: What do you remember about being drafted by the Bears.

580
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 9: Uh, it was a lot. The weight was always I

581
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 9: always tell our guys, the weight's going to be longer

582
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 9: than you expect, all right, because you always hear a

583
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 9: range of slots that you can go. And it was

584
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 9: a long couple days for me. And and but when

585
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 9: you get the call, it's that childhood dream. I got

586
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 9: drafted to the NFL. And and then Lovey Smith was

587
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 9: the head coach at the time, and uh they had

588
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 9: Brian Urlacker and Lance Briggs and Jay Cutler was a quarterback.

589
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 9: I mean you were living to dreaming and then you

590
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 9: get there and you say, oh, this is a job.

591
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 9: It's not not as much a dream.

592
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 8: It's a job.

593
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 9: And uh, it was a great experience, one that I'll cherish.

594
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 8: And uh, but it was short.

595
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 9: I wouldn't. I wouldn't I wasn't there for too long.

596
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 9: But it was a great opportunity.

597
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: But Blend, did you realize there was a difference between

598
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: you and Brian Urlocker or Lancebrigg's playing linebacker.

599
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 9: Well, when you see Brian Urlacker, you realize right away, like, oh,

600
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 9: there's a big difference between.

601
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 8: Us, you know.

602
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 9: But the knowledge that they had so how fast they

603
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 9: played the game because the knowledge they had clarity in

604
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 9: terms of what was being asked of them. And that

605
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 9: was a huge transition for me to learn a Tampa

606
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 9: two defense something new.

607
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 8: And to try to play fast.

608
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 9: Like everybody you recruit. Here's how I use it in college.

609
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 9: Everybody you recruit is really good in high school. Why

610
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 9: because they're playing fast. They have clarity and what they're

611
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 9: being asked to do. The guys that come here and

612
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 9: can learn the playbook and what they're being asked to

613
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 9: do and play with that clarity, the guys usually play earliest.

614
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 9: And so that's probably what I realized, where anything is that,

615
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 9: Hey man, those guys understand the ins and outs of

616
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 9: everything they're being asked to do.

617
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: Bring up something really interesting is we look at guys

618
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: who are quick and fast, but if you know where

619
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: you're going, you're even quicker and you're faster, right, And

620
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: I think that that's underrated. Sometimes we go, boy, that

621
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: guy's got God given ability. But if Erlocker knows I

622
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: have to go there and I'm already fast to get there,

623
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: I'm even faster, and that that's where they disrupt plays.

624
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 9: On defense, we always we have a saying clarity equals velocity,

625
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 9: and so the more clarity you have, the faster you're

626
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 9: going to be able to play. And that's what we

627
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 9: have to do as coaches is create clarity for our

628
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 9: guys to go out there and play fast.

629
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: How far is your office from here?

630
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 8: A couple hundred yards?

631
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: Okay, ye, not too far. What is it like? Did

632
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: you ever walk this campus by yourself when you first

633
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 2: got this job? Like you can't help but see history?

634
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but I don't know how that it impacts

635
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: me every time I walk this campus. Uh, but it's

636
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: like West Point when you're there, I mean, you're a

637
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: whole different world. Yeah, and there are very few campuses

638
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 2: like that with this history. But I didn't know if

639
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: you ever found yourself you're just walking the campus and

640
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: really letting it sink in of where you are.

641
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 8: I do it often. I still do it to this day.

642
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 9: I remember when I came here, when I was looking

643
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 9: at potentially being a defensive coordinator, and I was with

644
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 9: my wife, and I remember saying, this is the most

645
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 9: beautiful campus I've ever been on, and it.

646
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 8: Was just perfect.

647
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 11: Right.

648
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 9: It's a hard way to describe it, but I still

649
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 9: do it to this day. I run on campus. I'll

650
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 9: walk early in the morning and sometimes go by the

651
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 9: Golden Dome, and it's a reminder of the gratitude that

652
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 9: you have for this place, the history of this place,

653
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 9: the people that have come before you. And I think

654
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 9: for me, it's the responsibility to continue to make it better,

655
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 9: to elevate it and a it's a great responsibility, but

656
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 9: a great reminder as you look around this place.

657
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: Did you cry when you got the head coaching? John?

658
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 8: No, I didn't. That doesn't mean I wasn't emotional.

659
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: Your players were emotional.

660
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

661
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: I mean it's a great video. That video is wonderful

662
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: but it's a testament to you. It's a testament to

663
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: they got the right guy.

664
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 8: I hope, So, I hope, I hope. You know, I

665
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 8: don't you know.

666
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 9: I look at that moment and I was just as

667
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 9: excited to go greet them as the video showed they

668
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 9: were to greet me. I think it's it's a reflection

669
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 9: of a group of players and a coach that have

670
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 9: either earned trust or choose to trust each other, right,

671
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 9: Like they trusted me to be the head coach, and

672
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 9: I trust that I'm going to help them reach their goals,

673
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 9: and so we're in this together. Like that's how I

674
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 9: view this thing, right that that, Yeah, you're the head coach.

675
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 9: You have to lead, you have to have the vision

676
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 9: and the plan and the process. But we're in this together.

677
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 9: We succeed together, and we have difficult moments. We have

678
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 9: those together and we all have to own it.

679
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: Good luck on Saturday. I appreciate it to talk to

680
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:18,920

Speaker 2: time you hit somebody? I can practice.

00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: your mind?

800
00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 13: Good morning, first time, long time. I'm calling just because

801
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 13: I need to defend Fritzy. This morning, I was walking

802
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 13: I was listened to in the morning when I'm exercising

803
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 13: and working out, and I did not hear the car

804
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 13: that drove in. But Todd's comment that just because the

805
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 13: car is loud can be very annoying, I totally one agree,

806
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 13: having grown up with muscle cars. Being a woman who

807
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 13: enjoys A good muscle.

808
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 11: Car has a nice sounding. A car has to have

809
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 11: that sweet, sweet, deep rumble that you feel in your blood,

810
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 11: and then it's a sexy car.

811
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 2: Okay, So did you like the car that was here

812
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: in South Bend making the noise?

813
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 13: I couldn't hear it. I listened to you on Sirius

814
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 13: as I'm working out, and so I didn't hear it.

815
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: Okay, but Todd didn't like the car in the rumble.

816
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 7: There was less of a smooth rumble to me. It

817
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 7: was more of a like, you better go get that

818
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 7: checked out. There's something you know so little about cars.

819
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 7: Look at me, look at me as someone that needs attention.

820
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: I could respect that, but still we don't need to

821
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 2: hear that.

822
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 7: While we're doing the show. He's making circles so we

823
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 7: can all check out his red sports car.

824
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Barb is talking about the rumble of the

825
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 2: car and how sexy that is.

826
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 7: Right, But there's two kinds that. What I heard was

827
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 7: not like a smooth rumble.

828
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: That was a check me out.

829
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 8: Look at me, look at me, look at me.

830
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm overcompensating. What's sounds sexier, Barb? That what Fritzy did

831
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: is impersonation. Or the rumble of a car, a great

832
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 2: engine and muffler.

833
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 13: Well, there are a lot of guys who, I agree,

834
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 13: are trying to overcompensate and think that a real loud,

835
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 13: noisy car is all it takes. And I'm just saying

836
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 13: that's not what it is. It's got to be that

837
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 13: deep rumble. And I'm sorry I just couldn't hear that

838
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 13: one today.

839
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,239

860
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,880

861
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: of saying that because then it would feel forward. I

862
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,879
