1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Is this It looks like I see, Yeah, that is

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: what I think.

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: I see some breaking news in the portal on this

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: Thursday night, April eighteenth, year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four,

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: we're live as live can be from Coral Gables at

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: the University of Miami. I got a one on one

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: with Mario Christpaul that is extremely lengthy coming up a

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: little bit later. But in the meantime, yep, just about

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: thirty or so minutes ago, some of that stuff that

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: some people were saying may or may not happen, it

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: started to happen. I've got full portal intel. We're jam packed,

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: we're high as I think gorgeous Miami, Florida on this

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Thursday evening.

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: So I got to talk about that.

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: I got to talk about some other guys already in

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: the portal. So we're gonna get the whole portal intel,

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: scoop and whispers thing out the way early. I need

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: to discuss with you all, what in the world's going

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: on at Colorado? What in the world is Colorado going

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: to be? Deon Sanders has been saying a whole lot.

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: People have been questioning him fair amount lately with the

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: portal goings on out there, and I gotta be honest

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: with you, I'm not gonna do the knee jerk thing.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: But I got some pretty strong general feelings on how

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: this sport works, and I think a lot of them

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: apply to Colorado right now.

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about that.

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: I got a question about the concept of repeat champions

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: and since we're expanding the playoff field, how much more

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: likely that could be or less likely.

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: That could be?

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Is anyone gonna put together a dynasty in the near

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: future in the expanded playoff era?

34
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: So we got that.

35
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: Of course, we got Mario one on one that'll be

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: the back half of the show, and we are jam packed. Man,

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: we were loaded. We have had a great, great day

38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: down here. They're watching us in Mcanopi, Florida. Probably noticed

39
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: that name from the John Anderson hit single Simon Old

40
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: Wind in the early nineties. They're watching us in Fardale, Illinois,

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Johnson City, Tennessee. So so, Mississippi, if you're not following

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: on the socials.

43
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Frankly, shame on you.

44
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: No, I kid, but you should be following because there

45
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: is a ton of behind the scenes content that we

46
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: got today.

47
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: We've been on the road all week, but we got

48
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: it today and at late kick Josh.

49
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: You look at that Instagram story right now, it's lit

50
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: up to the degree it normally would be on a

51
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: game day in the fall, with a lot of the

52
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: behind the scenes stuff. So we got that going for

53
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: us very shortly, maybe tomorrow, probably over the weekend. I'm

54
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: gonna begin to announce the next two stops we have

55
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: on the Paate State Speaker series. We're gonna go two

56
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: places next week, big time programs you've been asking us

57
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: to go to.

58
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: Both fan bases have been very vocal.

59
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: We've listened, the staffs there have listened, and so we're

60
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: gonna be on the road again next week because, as

61
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: I told you, if CBS ever gave us the resources

62
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: to do this, we would literally never come off the

63
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: road in the spring. There's a suitcase right over here

64
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: behind Gelby, and I've been living out of it for

65
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: like two months now with no end insight. Let's dive

66
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: into the show. Transfer portal got a little bit spicy

67
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: on this Thursday evening, breaking news just in the past

68
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: hour or so, and it's out in Tempe, Arizona, actually

69
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: at Arizona State where Jade Reshada is entering the transfer portal.

70
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: Now you remember the front end of his recruitment. You

71
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: remember goes to Florida. Looks like he's going to Florida,

72
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: that whole thing falls through, ends up at Arizona State,

73
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: and so last year it was really up and down,

74
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: had some injury concerns as well. So in the past

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: hour or so, news has broken that he enters the portal. Now,

76
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: I know, on first glance you may look at that,

77
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: and since a lot of you probably don't watch Arizona

78
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: State football week the week, you probably sit there and say, oh,

79
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: that's a huge deal.

80
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: That's probably a death.

81
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: Blow to them because you probably think that's the starting quarterback,

82
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: and with good.

83
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: Reason it was last year.

84
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure that was going to be the

85
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: case this upcoming fall. Because here's what I think most

86
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: of you have been too busy to do. Most of you,

87
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: because you have lives to live, have probably been too

88
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: busy to track.

89
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Arizona State spring football.

90
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: But as you know, I have no life other than this,

91
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: so I get to do that for you. How many

92
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: of you know the name Sam Levitt. I didn't see

93
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: many hands raised, okay, other than gel, but he raised

94
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: his hands, but I didn't see any other hands raised.

95
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Sam Levitt I think was going to win this starting job,

96
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: and I think it became pretty clear maybe in the

97
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: last week or so of practice out there, and I

98
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: think Jaden Rashada may have made what he would feel

99
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: as a business decision. Now you can again think about

100
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: that whatever you want to. You can think that that's cowardly,

101
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: or you can think it's smart. You could think it's

102
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: short sighted, or you can think it's brilliantly tactical. I

103
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: don't really care because, like I'm not Jaden Rashada, I'm

104
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: not his father. We can all have opinions on it,

105
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: but this is going to be a headline, rinse and

106
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: repeat every year because it's the new world of college football.

107
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 2: I think Sam Levitt was going to win that job.

108
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: I still think he's going to win the job overwhelmingly.

109
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: Now.

110
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: I think Arizona State's probably going to be in the

111
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: market for a third quarterback at the very least, because

112
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: the depth chart does take a hit there.

113
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: But where's Jaden Rashada.

114
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: Going to go?

115
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Where in the world is Jaden.

116
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: Rashada headed former elite, highly rated quarterback.

117
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: And where's he going to go.

118
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: I think there's going to be an assumption that Jaden

119
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Rashada goes somewhere he thinks he can immediately start, and

120
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: that I'd hit the brakes on. I think maybe you

121
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: could look at a little reset here, not just on

122
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: the Arizona State side of things, but also with Rashata.

123
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't assume that he's looking for a place he

124
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: can go start immediately. I'd have you pay attention to

125
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: what Dante Morges did. Dante Morges started at UCLA.

126
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: What did he do?

127
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: He transferred and he went up to Oregon. He ain't

128
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: gonna start at Orgon this year. He knows he's not

129
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: gonna start at Orgon this year. They'll compete, but he

130
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: knows it's still in Gabriel's time at Orgon this year.

131
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: Why do you do that? You do that because you

132
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: realize you.

133
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: Got some development that you need to go through, and

134
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: so you know, on first glance, you may look at

135
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: Jaden Vishat and say, oh, he's got to go somewhere

136
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: he can start immediately. Where's the depth chart favorable? No,

137
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: maybe you look at a place where the depth chart's loaded.

138
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: Maybe you look at a place where a quarterback's already entrenched,

139
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: could be a Heisman contender or something like that, for

140
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: all I know this year. I'm not talking about a

141
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: place specifically just yet. I'm saying, don't automatically assume the

142
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: soft more favorable depth chart is the place the kid's

143
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: a kid like that's gonna land. So Jaden Rashada is

144
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: in the portal, all right, So who else is there?

145
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: Dominic Williams at TCU is one of the highest rated

146
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: guys over in twenty four seven sports dot Com. Right

147
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: now that we have a six two, three hundred and

148
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: twenty pound defensive lineman, those guys are worth their weight

149
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: in beyond gold this time of year. As we all know,

150
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: he started every game the past two years at TCU.

151
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 2: He's been all Big twelve caliber player past couple of years.

152
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: Oklahoma and Texas are in here, and I want you

153
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: to pay close attention to Oklahoma. So Oklahoma's kind of

154
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: banking very heavily on this weekend being a big weekend

155
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: for them. They got the spring game this weekend, which,

156
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: according to our dutiful reporter in the field, Gay bikerd

157
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: is still on and I know they've got I think

158
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: they've got him in there, and they got a couple

159
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: other guys they're targeting. So Dominic Williams, let's pay attention

160
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: to him. KeAndre Lambert Smith was Penn State's leading wide

161
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: receiver last year, and because it's still pretty light in

162
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: the portal when it comes to the wide receiver position,

163
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: his name is at a premium now. His production tailed

164
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: off last year, and you know, the the ending of

165
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: his Penn State tenure was what it was. But you've

166
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: got auburn A and m I think of already secured visits.

167
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: West Virginia's been mentioned here, Colorado has been mentioned here.

168
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: I saw Georgia mentioned. I don't think George is gonna

169
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: factor in it with him, at least that's not what

170
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: I hear. So that's the latest on him. Jason Zandomela

171
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: was the interior offensive lineman out there at USC. Now,

172
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: this one's interesting to me. I had some people reaching

173
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: out throughout spring and it was starting to become pretty

174
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: well known. He wasn't long for USC. Just some call

175
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: it complications with Nil to be very broad, because it

176
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: is what it is. But he wants to get back

177
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: closer to home. Home for him would be in the

178
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: State of Florida. So I think, you know, Florida State's

179
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: gonna look. They cannot visit him until next week because

180
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: of sanctions from whatever the Amarius Mems recruitment a couple

181
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: of years ago. But Florida State I think will factor there.

182
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: We're at Miami today. I kick the tires around here.

183
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: I think they'll factor there. I don't get the sense

184
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: that this is going to be some knockdown, dragout war.

185
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: UCF probably factors in here as well. Good player, good player.

186
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to downgrade him, but not necessarily sure.

187
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: This is the kind of recruitment that you're going to

188
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: see headlines on every hour on the hour. If that

189
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: makes any sense to you.

190
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: What about Cormione McClain.

191
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Since we're in Miami, Cormione McClain, former five star defensive

192
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: back from this neck of the woods, doesn't land at Miami,

193
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: lands at Colorado.

194
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: It's one of Dion's big gets. You remember that.

195
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: And then Dion takes to criticizing his work ethic and

196
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: takes to criticizing his preparation and how committed he was.

197
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: And this was last year because a lot of those

198
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: kids when they were brought in they were not brought

199
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: in to develop.

200
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: They were brought in.

201
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: Straight out of high school to play, and some of

202
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: them didn't. Some of them didn't, and some of them

203
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: have hopped in the portal in Cormoni McLain's now one

204
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: of them. Tough Love. I didn't necessarily have a problem

205
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: how Dion handled that. I think we talked about it

206
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: on the show. But he's the number three available player

207
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: in the portal now. They don't include me on portal rankings.

208
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure i'd have Cormina McLain. That high has

209
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: nothing to do with his physical skill set. I just

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: wander from the neck up. Where is he literally?

211
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I wonder? I don't know.

212
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: I haven't evaluated him myself, but you know, if he's prepared,

213
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: if he's ready mentally, he can be a big time player.

214
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: USC has been mentioned there. I think if he tries to.

215
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Come closer to home, if he tries to come back

216
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: to Florida. Not sure Miami is involved there this time around.

217
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: That's my feel on it. USF though, could be a

218
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: very interesting landing spot. DeMarcus van Daiku front of the program.

219
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: First off, who wasn't Miami at the time they were

220
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: recruiting him. He's now over in Tampa with Alex Goldish

221
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: and company at USF. They could figure prominently, and I

222
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: mean that would be I know, our buddy Cole Kublick

223
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: doesn't like this language. That could be a grand slam.

224
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: He doesn't like U sand home run, so forget about that.

225
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: We're loading the bases.

226
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: That would be a.

227
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: Grand slam for them, So let's keep an eye on that. Also,

228
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: Damian Martinez is a running back.

229
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: It was at Oregon State.

230
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: Now.

231
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: We went and saw Damian Martinez in person last year

232
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: on the Once Upon a Saturday tour. He's good two

233
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: time All Pac twelve and is in the portal now

234
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: and he's got Arizona, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Miami all there.

235
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: I'd consider Miami my favorite. I know they had their

236
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: in home last night. He's going through the process. So

237
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: that's by no means locked up, and I'm not trying

238
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 2: to suggest it is, but that that's going to be

239
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: a big time contributor and big time ad for whoever

240
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: lands him. The one thing that I've I've had mentioned

241
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: to me by coaches earlier today, namely a couple who

242
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: have faced him would be that his skill set may

243
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: be better fit or may fit better in an offense

244
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: that's not tempo based, no huddle, hurry up. It's probably

245
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: a skill set that's more conducive to what you want

246
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: to call a pro style offense. That's what you want

247
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: to call it. So transfer portal. Maybe the fireworks just

248
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: wet at the beginning, but starting to pop a little

249
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: bit here. Again, it's not necessarily something we're pulling for,

250
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: not rooting for it, but it's reality, and so we're

251
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: in other words, we're not sounding.

252
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: The all clear.

253
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: The other night I was going to sound the all

254
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: clear because we got twelve hours into this thing without

255
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: any big time names. Now, I will tell you a

256
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: couple of things that are working in your favor if

257
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: you don't want this to be explosive. Number One, SEC

258
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: teams cannot go after SEC players. If they do, they

259
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: got to sit out a year, so you don't have

260
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: SEC on SEC crime. And so I think a lot

261
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: of the collectives out there also heavily invested in maintaining

262
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: their priority players, which means you don't have a ton

263
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: of resource left to go after big name players and

264
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: the biggest spenders largely in the SEC cannot go after

265
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: the talent pool that most readily would fit on their rosters,

266
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: and for that reason, hey, hey, maybe this is as

267
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: loud as it gets, or maybe the next seventy two

268
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: to ninety six hours will be totally chaotic.

269
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: Who knows.

270
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Glad to have you guys in. It's a Thursday night.

271
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: We got Mario Cristaball coming up for a lengthy conversation

272
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: on the show. Look, if you're new here, if you're

273
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: a Miami fan and you don't normally watch the show,

274
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: I'd consider watching the show selfishly. I think we do

275
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: a pretty good job here. Subscribe to the channel. Though

276
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: this is not some test run. We do this thing free.

277
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: We do this thing year round. Is wall to wall

278
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: college football. You will not hear a second of NBA

279
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: playoff coverage here because there are other places that do

280
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: that better. Just subscribe to the channel, or if you're

281
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: listening on podcast, subscribe to the podcast. That's all we ask.

282
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: Maybe thumbs up the video, but largely just subscribe and

283
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: that helps us out. All right, I saw you guys asking,

284
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: and so I'm gonna talk about it. Seems like it's

285
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: been a while since we did one of these, but

286
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna do it. What's happening with Dion Sanders at Colorado?

287
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: You see the question on the screen there, what's the

288
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: deal with Dion and Colorado?

289
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: Right now?

290
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: It seems like Colorado is gonna have another year to

291
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: forget this screen small, I can't see it. Basically, they're

292
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: saying it was Colorado gonna implode this year. I'm not

293
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: ready to say that, but I am noticing what you

294
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: guys are noticing. All right, So earlier today, I think

295
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: it was today, Dion was talking to the media and

296
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: they were asking him about all the transfer portal exits,

297
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: and they've had several guys hop in the portal. And

298
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the case with Colorado. Every year they

299
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: employ this strategy, They're gonna have a lot of guys

300
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: come in, They're gonna have a lot of guys go out.

301
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: So Dion, I'm not paraphrasing all this. I don't have

302
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: the quote in front of me, but Dion basically said

303
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: in his press conference, you have been paying attention in practice, right,

304
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: who have we lost? Who have we really lost? And

305
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: what he was implying was we haven't lost difference makers

306
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: we've lost guys who we could afford to lose, or

307
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: who we may even have wanted to hit the exit door.

308
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: I personally, that's not the way I look at it.

309
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: But it's his roster, it's not my roster. But he

310
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: did say we're good. I trust our recruiting team, I

311
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: trust our coaches. Please have some faith in me. We're good,

312
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: We're all right. So there's no alarm being sounded publicly

313
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: by the head coach there at Colorado, and in his

314
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: own words there that was a quote, in his own words,

315
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: they're good, They're all right. I've avoided the whole knee

316
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: jerk thing with Colorado. I think there's some revisionist history

317
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: on that because I think when they started to garner

318
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: a ton of attention, like many other people who cover

319
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: college football, I talked about it a lot on the show.

320
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: My basic message the entirety of September is this is

321
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: pretty incredible to watch because I didn't even think they

322
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: beat TCU, you know, so when they beat TCU, that's

323
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: pretty incredible. I mean, that's a legitimate story. I thought

324
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: it was the biggest story in September in college football.

325
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: Last year, none of that had anything to do with

326
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: what my record prediction was for him. A lot of

327
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: folks went far enough to change their record predictions and

328
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: started talking about how they may be able to win

329
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve Rest in peace, Old Girl, and how

330
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: they may be a fringe playoff team, and that was nonsense.

331
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: Those people were not nonsensical people. I think some people

332
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: who were otherwise very smart, just got caught up in

333
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: that wave of Dion hype, the Dion tax, if you will,

334
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: And so I avoided the knee jerk there. I don't always,

335
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: but I avoided it there. I'm gonna avoid it here too.

336
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to tell you this season is going

337
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: to be a disaster, because there'll be.

338
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: Time for that.

339
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: If I think they're going to go three and nine,

340
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: I got time to predict that. But God did not

341
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: create April for us to start predicting teams to go

342
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: three and nine. Well, he didn't make it for me

343
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: to predict it. But I do have some fundamental beliefs

344
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: about how I think this sport works. Okay, I got

345
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: fundamental beliefs about how winning happens in college football. And

346
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: one of those fundamental beliefs is you will never build

347
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: a sustained winning program through the portal, you will not.

348
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: You can use the portal to supplement. You can use

349
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: the portal as a jumpstarter, like I think Mike Norvel

350
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: and Florida State brilliantly did. You can use it to backfill.

351
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: You can use it to add cherries on top. But

352
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: the Sunday better be made through the portal. You can

353
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: add all the things onto the house you want. The

354
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: house better be built. The foundation better be laid not

355
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: through the portal, but through traditional high school recruiting. So

356
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: in a way, nothing's changed there. You just have some

357
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: more talent acquisition mechanisms afforded to you. Which may lead

358
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: some of my Clemson fans to say, well, if you

359
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: believe that, why do you harp so much on Dabo's

360
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: unwillingness to use the portal?

361
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: Because I think it is valuable.

362
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: It's a valuable asset at your disposal.

363
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: It's to tool it to resource.

364
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, you can jumpstart, you can backfill, you

365
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: can address a specific glaring need. You can supplement. You

366
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: just don't use it to build. Deon Sanders has taking

367
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: a different approach. He thinks what I'm saying does not apply.

368
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: That is not his philosophy. He and I don't share

369
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: the same belief on this. Apparently he believes that you

370
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: can do this thing and modern college football will let

371
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: you do this through the portal. I don't believe that.

372
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: I just I've been driving around Full Florida all week.

373
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: You will never drive through Florida without interstate construction somewhere.

374
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: But at least when those projects.

375
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: Are going on, you gotta temporarily deviate lanes and whatnot.

376
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: At least there's an end goal, like at least eventually

377
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: that interstate's going to be completed, only for another project

378
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: to take effect for the next ten years. But what

379
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 2: they're doing is like that never stops, like those temporary lanes.

380
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: That's just the interstate and hopefully it works out every

381
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: single year. And I just don't think that's the way

382
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: I could ever expect it to go down. And I'll

383
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: tell you this too. Colorado just moved to the Big twelve.

384
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: And you may think to yourself, ooh, if they just

385
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: load up a roster, the Big twelve is very winnable. Well,

386
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: the Big twelve is winnable in a sense that it's

387
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: competitively balanced, and the Big Twelve is winnable in a

388
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: sense that, hey, it feels like eight or nine teams

389
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: any given year could win that thing.

390
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: But if you think you're about.

391
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: To portal your way to overwhelm me inconsistent success in

392
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve through the portal, you got another thing coming.

393
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Man.

394
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: The Big twelve is not the land of five star

395
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: recruiting giants. The Big twelve is the land of evaluation, development,

396
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: culture and bringing kids in a class and watching them

397
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: grow three and four years together and then winning three

398
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: or four years after they enrolled. And man, I don't

399
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: care how many of them are four and five stars.

400
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: Most of them weren't. But I'm telling you, if you

401
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: watch Kansas State.

402
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: Play, you taus in that conference.

403
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: Now watch Iowa State any given you watch TCU any

404
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: given year, they may have their five and sevens as well.

405
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: But any given Saturday, when you're facing those teams, man,

406
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: you got to beat them.

407
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: It's tough.

408
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: They're like little bowling balls, but they're programs in that

409
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: they just roll right at you. They're very tightly compacted.

410
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: Because they're made of the right stuff. Doesn't mean they're

411
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: gonna pump kids into the first round of the NFL.

412
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: But they're made of the right stuff. In a classical sense,

413
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 2: it's exactly what football teams should look like. If you're

414
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: old school, the big twelve year conference, that's exactly what

415
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: they should look like.

416
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: Colorado doesn't look like that.

417
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: Are you going to portal guys in and magically snap

418
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: your fingers and in a few months that becomes a

419
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: team that's ready to beat a lot of fourth and

420
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: fifth year program guys every single year? Of course, what's

421
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: the goal at Colorado? The goal is not to make

422
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: a bowl. That's not how they're talking. They're talking about

423
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: playoff out there. So Colorado or anyone else, point blank,

424
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: you could try this in the SEC. For all I care,

425
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: you are not portaling your way to being a consistent

426
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: playoff contending program. I don't believe that. I don't believe

427
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: it'll ever be the case. I do believe that you

428
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: could greatly enhance your life, maybe even your chances at

429
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: the playoff if you just shop at Academy Sports and

430
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: Outdoors More. Again, we may have some new listeners and

431
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: viewers tonight. Academy is our lifelong partner. They've been with

432
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: us nearly from the beginning. They're your one stop shop.

433
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: For all things outdoor, sporting goods and beyond. You got

434
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: grills there, you know, of course, you got big league

435
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: chew in the checkout line at this point. If you

436
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: live a more minimalist lifestyle, I'm not sure what else

437
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: you need. Maybe some odds and ends, certain medicines Academy

438
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: may not carry, But By and Lars they got everything

439
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: you need. You can ninety five percent live your life

440
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: with a trip or two to Academy, and if you

441
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: can't get there in person, Academy dot Com is the

442
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 2: direction to go. We appreciate them as always, and I

443
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: think you would too. Just give them a try, as

444
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: I always say, tell them I sent you. It doesn't

445
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: get you a discount, but it does make us look

446
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: a whole lot better as a show. All Right, a

447
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: couple more quick things here, and then we're gonna get

448
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 2: Mario Crystal Ball on the show The Tennessee Mood Tracker.

449
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: It's time we spun the wheel. It landed on Knoxville,

450
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee tonight. This is just a thing that we like

451
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: to do this time of year that takes the temperature

452
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: of the fan base. I think it's a really good

453
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: resource and exercise for us all if you want to

454
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: have a full grasp of how college football folks are

455
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: really feeling, and at Tennessee is just in Nico. That's

456
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: the entire mood. Nikoe Amaliava is in there.

457
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: That's the quarterback.

458
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: And what's funny about this is, for a long time

459
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: I tried to overthink the room on how this sport works.

460
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that is everyone wanted to

461
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: focus on quarterback. I'd look at all the preview magazines.

462
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: It's just littered with quarterbacks and quarterback. Oh, it's the

463
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: most important position. It's the hardest position. Blah blah blah.

464
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: And I would say, you know, I'm gonna.

465
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: Spend more of my time talking about tight ends. I

466
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: must spend more my time talking about outside linebackers. And

467
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 2: those are valuable positions, and you've got some great players there,

468
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: But quarterbacks impact this game to a ten time ratio

469
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: of any other position. And it don't overthink the room

470
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: on this. If Tennessee has got a superstar quarterback, that's

471
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: how Tennessee could win a national championship. So if Nikoe

472
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: Amaliava ends up fulfilling on the immense potential and hype

473
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: that he had and we think he has when he

474
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: was coming out of high school. He's not a freshman,

475
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: not a true freshman. But if he is that guy,

476
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how Tennessee does it. Because Joe Milton

477
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: was that guy last year, and that's why Tennessee didn't

478
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: do it. It's not rocket science.

479
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: Now.

480
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: I don't think we can all throw on headsets and

481
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: call plays like Josh Hipel, but he knows what I'm

482
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: saying is true as well. That's why he went and

483
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: recruited the guy. That Bama twenty twenty two game I

484
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: think broke down a lot of mental barriers there. Tennessee

485
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: fans know exactly what I'm talking about, but there were

486
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: just some things that you had conditioned yourself to think

487
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: wouldn't change until and after the word until when you

488
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: filled in that blanket was until we beat Bama. Fifteen

489
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: years in a row is a long time, man. You

490
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: got kids with learners permits that weren't born the last

491
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: time they had beaten Bama.

492
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: Well they did it.

493
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: And it's not that they won the SEC that year,

494
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: they didn't even play for it.

495
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: But what it did is it cleared this.

496
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: Gigantic mental hurdle that allowed people to start thinking bigger

497
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: around there, and with good reason you should. I've never

498
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 2: bought into the notion that Tennessee all of a sudden

499
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: became a program that couldn't do this, or that couldn't

500
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: win the SEC, couldn't make the playoff. They just haven't.

501
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: They haven't because they haven't been good enough head coach.

502
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: That also is not rocket science. They're over under win

503
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 2: totals nine and a half this year. That's equivalent with Alabama.

504
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: That's equivalent with LSU, that's equivalent with Ole miss. These

505
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 2: are teams that will be mentioned in the SEC championship picture,

506
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: which means Tennessee should be mentioned in the SEC Championship

507
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: picture very simply. That will depend on how good a

508
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: quarterback nico Aamalaiava is. It sounds like fundamental fifth grader logic.

509
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: It is. Some fifth graders are pretty smart.

510
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: By the way, they had their own TV show for

511
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: a long time, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy who frequents Harris

512
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: County restaurants. Mind you, they feel to me like a

513
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: just get in kind of team in the expanded playoff era.

514
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: By the way, I used to I love Major League Baseball,

515
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: but back in the day in the four team playoff

516
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: era in baseball as well. I really loved Major League

517
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: Baseball in the regular season. It always aggravated me that

518
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: the structure was such that the Braves could win one

519
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: hundred and three regular season games and Thetros or Morlands

520
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: or someone get hot at the very end, and then

521
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they're the team you don't want

522
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: to face. Well, is there a program that becomes that way?

523
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: Is there a program that's good for a couple of

524
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: regular season losses, but when they get in the playoff,

525
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's like lightning in a bottle.

526
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: If there is that program, Tennessee feels like, with this

527
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: kind of quarterback, they could be that sort of program.

528
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: And I have no basis to go on because we've

529
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: never seen an expanded college football playoff, but it feels

530
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: like they're all.

531
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: Just get in kind of team.

532
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 2: So let's say they stumble a couple of times this year.

533
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's the SEC, so pretty much

534
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna stumble at least once, if not two or

535
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: three times. If they get hot at the end of

536
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: the year. If Niko is playing his best ball at

537
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: the end of the year. If those receivers they brought

538
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: and let's say they're injured early, not the receiver position,

539
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 2: but in general, let's say they're banged up early.

540
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: That team gets hot.

541
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: That's the team that feels like it's scale potential or

542
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: productivity at the end of the year, and then you

543
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: get in and hoops to amongst us knows what can happen.

544
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: So that's the Tennessee mood Tracker.

545
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: And then I follow it up with one more thing,

546
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: which I kind of put this in the show because

547
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: it kind of aligns with that, and we'll have Mario christaball.

548
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: Right after this, I had a question. I think it's

549
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: a Twitter question actually, So as you know we gotta

550
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: expand a playoff coming up, one of you asked, Hey,

551
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: what are the odds we see repeat champs? You know

552
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 2: we've seen Bama repeat. We in the past four team

553
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: playoff era, you saw teams repeat as national champs. How

554
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: likely or unlikely is that an expanded playoff era. I

555
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: think it's less likely. I think obviously the trade off

556
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: is it's much more likely you'll have more teams run

557
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: off a string of playoff appearances. I have no clue

558
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: how Georgia will ever miss the playoff. When you look

559
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: at the way they recruit, and you look at how

560
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: much lower the bar is to make the college football playoff,

561
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: I have no clue how they'll ever miss it.

562
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: They can lose three games many years and probably still

563
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: make it.

564
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: In Are they more likely to string together national championships?

565
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: They just came off back to back title wins themselves.

566
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: I should have mentioned them instead of Bama. Are they

567
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 2: more or less likely to do that? I think anyone's

568
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: less likely to do that because the randomization is in

569
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: play here. Football is not nearly as randomized as a

570
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: game like basketball or a game like baseball. That's why

571
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: those sports play series instead of games when they get

572
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 2: in a playoff setting, and football just plays a game.

573
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: I don't mean the randomizations in bounce of ball. Yes,

574
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: that matters, but in the playoffs, that's seven or eight

575
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: times out of ten the better team has won on

576
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: the football field. I'm talking about how much injury plays apart.

577
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: When you add in two or three games on top

578
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 2: of what you already had to win, and then you

579
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: add in all the other stuff, and you may have

580
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: a team that goes undefeated regular season, and then over

581
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: the span of their conference title game and then their

582
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: first round playoff game, they lose two Marquee Premier game changers,

583
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: and then you draw them. How in the world are

584
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: they about to repeat and the old system they would have,

585
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: So I think that plays apart. I think there's a

586
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: new criticism, by the way that will emerge in the

587
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: expanded playoff era, and that will be that some teams

588
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: are built to make the playoff, but they're not built

589
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 2: to win the playoff.

590
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: Now, reality will be it's just really.

591
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: Hard to win a playoff to win a national championship.

592
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: But since there's twelve teams, we got to put twelve

593
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: in there. There'll be some teams that end up making

594
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: it that otherwise wouldn't have, and they'll string together a

595
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: few of those years, and then their fan bases will

596
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: be inflated with false hope, cause you'll start to think,

597
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: in the early versions of this expanded playoff, hey, if

598
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 2: you make it in, you're good enough to win. And

599
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: of course that's not true, and then you'll fall short.

600
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: You'll be like March Madness. Your team keeps making the

601
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament, but they can't win the national title. Well,

602
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: a little condensed version of that will be Yeah, they're

603
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: built to make the college football Playoff, but they're not

604
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: built to win it. Very few are friends, very few

605
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: are So who becomes that wildcard team, though, who becomes

606
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 2: that team that can just make a run, just get in,

607
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 2: just get hot, just get in.

608
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: Ah.

609
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: What exciting and and somewhat unpredictable times we find ourselves in.

610
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get Mario crist Baull in here in

611
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: just a second. First, lay, I do want to remind

612
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: you and just read you some odds. I gave you

613
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: those over underwent totals. That's courtesy of our friends at FanDuel.

614
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: And those aren't just numbers. I'm privy to you. Get

615
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: a fan duel right now, and you can bet those

616
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: numbers if you're in a state where it's legal. If

617
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: you're not in a state where it's legal, or you

618
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: don't feel like betting, or you don't even like to bet,

619
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: or you don't even believe in betting, you'll look at

620
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: them anyway. Certainly no harm in that I do both.

621
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: And so over underwin totals. Are there, odds to win conferences?

622
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: Are there early games of the year? Are there odds

623
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: to make versus miss the playoffer there, so there's no

624
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: shortage of content. And look, like I said, even if

625
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: you're in the crowd that doesn't bet, that's a great

626
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: resource if you want more than just what the magazines

627
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: say or what preseason you know, predictions from reporters or

628
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: even someone like me are go to odds makers and

629
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: say what do they think? If you understand how to

630
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: decipher that stuff, and it's not hard, trust me because

631
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: even I do it.

632
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: It is.

633
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,800

Speaker 2: a FanDuel and you can look at their futures market.

635
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: That's a really good preview magazine. There's just not a

636
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: lot of you know, Dennis Dodd linked articles along with it,

637
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,040

662
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: We've been at Miami all day. It's been great.

663
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: We saw whatever the plural of ibis is ibuy, we

664
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: saw several of them around campus, a couple of wayward iguanas,

665
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: not as not as populated with the iguanas today.

666
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: As I would have hoped.

667
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: But we had great weather, low humidity.

668
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: Enjoy that for about fifteen more seconds, because that's about

669
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: to change. But we talked to Mario Cristaball at length

670
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: today about pretty much everything that you'd be talking about.

671
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: So I just ask you, guys, what do you want

672
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: to know? And then we go to the head coaches

673
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: because we can get such access and we talk about it.

674
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: So I'm going to wrap the show here. It's been

675
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: a pleasure to talk to you guys tonight. We'll be

676
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: back live on Sunday. In the meantime, here's our conversation

677
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: with Caine's head coach, Mario Christaball.

678
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: So here we are.

679
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: We're coming out of spring ball, and we're that closed

680
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: like nineteen saturdays. If you want me to keep count

681
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: till the twenty twenty four season, you guys go.

682
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: To Gainesville to start. But right now, how we feeling

683
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: where we're at?

684
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 4: Great spring, A lot of hard work as it relates

685
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: to talent acquisition and development. Continuity with with our coordinators

686
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: has led to just a lot of progress to build

687
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: upon some of the progress we had last year. So

688
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 4: we feel strongly about our team, we feel strongly about

689
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: our culture, we feel strongly about entering portal season and

690
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 4: adding a couple of pieces here and there. So it's

691
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: the momentum within the walls of this building could.

692
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 3: Not be stronger.

693
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: Now, this whole thing's interesting, the whole concept that you

694
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: could add starting pieces to your team after spring practice,

695
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: you could lose starting pieces after spring practice. You recruit, man,

696
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: you're a relentless recruiter, like everyone's always known that about you,

697
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: and then you add portaling into it as well. How

698
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: up to the minute do you have to be on

699
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: above and beyond all your other responsibilities on who's in

700
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: that thing or what you're hearing, and what our needs

701
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: are and what our numbers are in this compartment versus

702
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: that compartment, Like you've got people in the room that

703
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: specialize in that, but ultimately it's on your plate.

704
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: So how much a day to day thing does that.

705
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 3: Have to be?

706
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: Oh, that's up to the second because you just don't

707
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 4: know what's really going to transpire out there, and you

708
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: have a good feel for your roster, but in this

709
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: day and age or all the stuff that goes on,

710
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: you've got to be a aware an alert to it

711
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: as well. But you know, you always have open and

712
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: honest conversation, very transparent with your people.

713
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: That's the most important part.

714
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 4: And then you assess and see where do we need

715
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: to go, what do we need to be more competitive?

716
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: Where do we need an impact player, where do we

717
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: need young quality depth?

718
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: And from there we do we.

719
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: Attack the portal in that form and fashion. But you've

720
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: always just due to the ever changing, just world of

721
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 4: college football, if you do sleep, you can you can

722
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: hurt yourself because you could miss out an opportunity that

723
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: could be a game changer.

724
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: I had a buddy text me the other day and

725
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: he said, Hey, what happens when coaches get sick?

726
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,760

00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: He'd notice spell at crises, But when they have crises

728

00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: You can be as specific as you want to be, like,

777
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: how how just raw physically impressive were some of those

778

00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,640

Speaker 4: to have an impact on others, and that like act

785
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 4: it out. You know, culture is not the slogan or

786
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 4: it's not the tweak man. It's about action. And they

787
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 4: are about action. That's the best part about these guys.

788
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 4: And they have personality. They're fun to be around, they're competitive,

789
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 4: they go at each other, they jaw at each other.

790
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 3: They make practice a lot of fun is what they do.

791
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 4: And you know, for us, you know, we've had a

792
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 4: stat that's you know, over the years, some pretty good

793
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 4: continuity and so it's a little bit of deja vu

794
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: for us in terms of Okay, it's you're now entering

795
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 4: your third year and you've got a lot of pieces that.

796
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 3: Are coming into in a play.

797
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 4: In terms of development, in terms of talent, So people

798
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: know each other, the relationships are stronger, and they're getting better.

799
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: There's growth, there's development. So they make every day a

800
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: lot of fun.

801
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 4: They make it really really exciting and you know what,

802
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: We already pour our hearts and souls into this, but

803
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 4: it makes you want to pour that much more because

804
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 4: they want to do great, they want to win, they

805
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 4: want to do great things.

806
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: You played here when Miami was at its apex. You

807
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: could call Miami like an Apex predator of the sport.

808
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 2: You've then been elsewhere and you've watched Miami fluctuay a

809
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 2: little bit. You've now come here, you're the head coach,

810
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 2: you're a few years in now. It doesn't take long

811
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: for a generation to happen, right, maybe a ten year period,

812
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: let's say. And so when you get a couple of

813
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: generations removed from from like that brand being known as Elite,

814
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: you still remember it. I still remember you played. You

815
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: actually lived it. But a sixteen, seventeen, eighteen year old kid,

816
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 2: you got to actually tell them. You got to actually

817
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: point to the banners on the wall, you got to

818
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 2: actually pop on the footage, and you got to watch

819
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 2: the confetti ran down the trophy case. Hey, this happened

820
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: here one time. Before you ever start, you know, selling

821
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: guys on this being the place for you, do you

822
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: ever have to sort of educate on this is what

823
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: it can be this is what it was before. I

824
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: don't care what it's been in your lifetime. This is

825
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 2: what it was before, or is that ever kind of

826
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 2: an educational opportunity you have to afford kids when you.

827
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 4: Recruit them, absolutely, and I think you know a lot

828
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 4: of them do know, and they've seen enough video and

829
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 4: they've seen enough.

830
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 3: Other highlight tapes and whatnot.

831
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: And you know, for me, it was real simple, was

832
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 4: like I know what Miami is and should be. I

833
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: was a very fortunate young man to be a part

834
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 4: of it. And so you know, when you're at a

835
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 4: distance and fortunate to have success at other places, you know,

836
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 4: it hurts you. It does work finally, like enough is enough.

837
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: You know, we're only on this earth one time, and

838
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 4: just could not go to the grave without getting back

839
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 4: to Miami and being a part of making Miami what

840
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 4: it should always be. And that's what we've been working

841
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: on relentlessly. And also knowing that there's work to do.

842
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 4: Miami didn't slip overnight, you know, and that you're gonna

843
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: have to invest an extraordinary amount of time and resources

844
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: into getting it right. And now we feel we're very

845
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: we're getting very close. So the best thing for these guys,

846
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 4: is when we have practices, is watching our alumni interact

847
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 4: with them. Sometimes during practice if we have to pull

848
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 4: them off.

849
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 3: The field as they're trying to jump out there and coach.

850
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: But I think a great example was Michael Irvin at

851
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 4: our alumni reunion this weekend, when the gist of the

852
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 4: message was about the work, how much harder practice was

853
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 4: in game day and that's what gave Miami that competitive edge.

854
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: But he also went to the extent of saying, hey, look,

855
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: if you're not about winning, you can't be my friends.

856
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: You know, if you're not willing to hold yourself and

857
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: that was accountable, you really can't be a part of it.

858
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: So I think it's with all.

859
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: The noise that goes on in the world of sports,

860
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 4: I think it's important for them to hear a guy

861
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 4: like that say, hey, are you going to listen to

862
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 4: us as former players and Hall of famers? You're going

863
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 4: to listen to the noise. And the answer to that's

864
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 4: pretty simple.

865
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: So you said, you feel like you're getting a lot

866
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 2: closer to where you want to be. Outside world sees

867
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: five wins the first year, seven wins the second year,

868
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: and that's really all they have to go on. So

869
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: aside from the record, getting better, open up the hood

870
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: for the program. What's different now and how different is

871
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: it than a year ago?

872
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: And how different could it be a year from now.

873
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 4: Sure, the natural progression of a program when you increase

874
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: the caliber of talent coming in the building, when you

875
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 4: go to a strength and conditioning program and a practice regiment.

876
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 3: That's extremely developmental.

877
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 4: One that was used here, that was used when I

878
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 4: was an assistant coach at the University of Alabama, that

879
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: we took out to the University of Oregon and.

880
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: Us there as well.

881
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 4: I know a lot of other programs have used that

882
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 4: blueprint and have had great success, and it's been implemented here.

883
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 4: And the development of the players, along with some staff

884
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: continuity regarding systems or whatnot, just leads to consistent progress.

885
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 4: And there's so many areas that we progressed at last

886
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 4: year to become a competitive team. En result of every

887
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 4: game wasn't exactly what we wanted, but some there were

888
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 4: we won some battles that maybe you know, Miami was

889
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 4: not expected to come out on top of it, and

890
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 4: it was this all progress and inching more closer to

891
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 4: what we want to be now that being said, everyone

892
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 4: recognizes you amount.

893
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 3: Of work that has to be done going forward.

894
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 4: So another year, another off season, another spring, a great class,

895
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 4: some great portal additions, and then culture, culture, culture, just

896
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 4: not talking about it, just working man, just going to work,

897
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 4: just shutting up, cutting out the outside nose and going

898
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: to work on what we know works for Miami and

899
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 4: worried about nothing else.

900
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: I don't ever question you guys are serious about culture here.

901
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 2: I mean I walk through the building, so I see

902
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 2: it and I feel it pretty quickly. Well, when you're

903
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: trying to recruit a guy, you've got a long runway

904
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: to figure out whether he's about this or.

905
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: Whether he's not.

906
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 2: When you're trying to get a guy out of a portal,

907
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 2: sometimes it's twenty four forty eight seventy two hours.

908
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: How do you figure out whether they're a good fit

909
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: or not.

910
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 4: You've got to have someone or a group of people

911
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 4: that know that particular young man. You've got to have

912
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 4: a reference that you trust, right because, just like anything else,

913
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: an addition that hurts and chips away a culture to

914
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 4: be absolutely devastating during a rough patch, and one that

915
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 4: actually enhances it, and one that you can trust amongst

916
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 4: your players, and now we feel very trusting in terms

917
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 4: of that if there's something.

918
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 3: That's a little bit off that our players could bring

919
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 3: it to cultural standards.

920
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 4: But that being said, I never want to burden them

921
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 4: with having to be the ones to do that. It's

922
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 4: our job to make sure that we vet everything so

923
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 4: we bring something to.

924
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 3: Sit beside him in the locker, to practice.

925
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 4: With him on the field, to go to into games

926
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 4: on Saturday, that they can trust themselves.

927
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: What's something since you've been the head coach.

928
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 2: Here, not at the core, like the core philosophy never changes,

929
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: but what's something maybe just on the periphery of that,

930
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,959
Speaker 2: that you remember looking at, taking it, taking a long

931
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 2: hard think on it, saying maybe we should tweak this,

932
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: or maybe twenty percent change over here could do good.

933
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: It could be something about you person only about the

934
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 2: program as a whole. Is there anything that you remember

935
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: looking at and saying we can to modify that a

936
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: little bit upon arrival or over the sense of arrival

937
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: here to present day.

938
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 4: Gotcha, Well, I think we're always assessing every part of it.

939
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 4: How we do everything, whether it be our off season program,

940
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 4: our regimentation, how we call plays, what we call our

941
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 4: self scout. You know, what are we what do we

942
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: look like on tape? What are our tels? What are

943
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 4: opponents doing to attack us? And why are we doing

944
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 4: well in this and not so well in that? So

945
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 4: we take a deep dive into that and certainly study

946
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 4: the teams that have done the best both in college

947
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 4: and in the NFL to make sure that we we

948
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 4: just find an edge somewhere somehow in terms of the

949
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 4: DNA of our program, we always want to enhance that.

950
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 3: The best way to do that and our opinion is

951
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 3: to get to know your people really, really well, and

952
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: so we do.

953
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 4: We take a deep dive into our people and do

954
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 4: our best to always increase the strength of the connection,

955
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 4: you know, the strength.

956
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: Of affiliation of care factors within the program.

957
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 4: And what we have found out is that the more

958
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 4: time you spend around people, right, the more people realize

959
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 4: the importance of time and there's nothing more important you

960
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 4: give them one anger time. So we feel like this

961
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 4: group has become really tight with the chip on their

962
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 4: shoulder with a lot to prove.

963
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: And I think the staff feels that same way.

964
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 4: So this offseason has been really really good, really strong.

965
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 4: We just we haven't played a game yet, so we

966
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 4: don't get ahead of ourselves and get into you know,

967
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 4: over over pushing and over hyping certain aspects we were

968
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: really really exciting.

969
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 2: I've always said, if you could take a person off

970
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: the street and put them in an off season lifting program,

971
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: go through springball, go through summer conditioning, even if they

972
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: didn't have the god given ability, if they could just

973
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 2: exist in that environment, all of them would feel like

974
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 2: a million bucks. And all of them, if they had

975
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: any kind of middle time roughness about themselves, they'd be

976
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: ready to go conquer nations come fall. Then if they're

977
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: trailing seventeen to six at halftime of week one in

978
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: the locker room, they'd be devastated and they be shell shocked.

979
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: How do you make.

980
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: Sure guys mentally are programmed to where you challenge them

981
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: enough in this setting here to where when it actually

982
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: doesn't fully go your way in the fall, you're not rattled,

983
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 2: like guys keep their composure and.

984
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: You're getting the same kind of efficiency out of it.

985
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 4: No, it's a great question because you can talk at

986
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 4: all you want. You could show all the highlight films

987
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 4: and all the teaching tapes about you know, this is

988
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 4: let's talk about situational football and if this happens, that's fine.

989
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 4: And you know what, and I love our strength conditioning program.

990
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 4: I'd put it up against any program in the country.

991
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 4: But the weight doesn't push back, you know, the the intervals,

992
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 4: they don't. They don't push back out there as human resistance.

993
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 3: Right. So the only way we know how and we've

994
00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 3: ever known as play.

995
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 4: And in fact, today coach Dave wants that our defensive

996
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 4: coordinator back in the day here at Miami, he came

997
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: by this morning when we were talking about that. It's

998
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 4: with all the things and all the you know, the

999
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 4: books and the templates and all the you know, all

1000
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 4: the teachings and sayings, the one thing that always stood

1001
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 4: the test of time was the way that you practice.

1002
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 4: And I think the value and I would say the

1003
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 4: caliber of a good football coach by position coordinator, head

1004
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 4: coach is by his ability to construct and organize a

1005
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 4: great football practice, because that's the only way to get

1006
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 4: true testing as it relates to human resistance, right to

1007
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 4: something fighting back, pushing back, creating the type of physical

1008
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: mental adversity that's going to show up. You can't simulate,

1009
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 4: you know, eighty ninety thousand people you know, throwing all

1010
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 4: kinds of stuff at you and yelling at you. But

1011
00:46:55,120 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 4: you can simulate that gut wrenching, relentless pounding of a

1012
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 4: tempo offense, or you can replicate, you know that that

1013
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 4: fourth and one situation when a guy is dead tired

1014
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 4: after going to fourteen play drive.

1015
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: You gotta do it out there.

1016
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 4: So it's on us to duplicate those scenarios in situations

1017
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 4: as much as possible.

1018
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: What's wild is if you're in a competitive setting in

1019
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: the business world and someone embarrasses you, someone runs circles

1020
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: around you. You can go hide in your office, you

1021
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: can sit in the parking lot, you can take a

1022
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: sick day the next day. A dB gets beat and

1023
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: looks foolish and has to be there again eighteen seconds later.

1024
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: And to me, like I'm now.

1025
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: Talking personally, a DB's ability to have a short memory

1026
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 2: and to be one hundred percent and fully engage mentally

1027
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: the following play, Like, I don't know if that's something

1028
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 2: many freshmen walk in the door with and sometimes maybe

1029
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: guys never have it, but the ones, and you've actually

1030
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: played on teams with some of the great ones. The

1031
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: ability to have a short memory, that position or any position.

1032
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: Is it's fascinating to me when guys possess that, Yeah.

1033
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: They just don't care about that last play. They just

1034
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 3: don't care.

1035
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: They're just focused on kicking somebody's you know what. And

1036
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 4: those guys, and as many of those guys you can

1037
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 4: have on your roster, the better you'll be off because

1038
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 4: all they care about is that next play and whooping

1039
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 4: somebody's butt, you know, and that is you know, we

1040
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 4: seek that mentality, you know, and we we have unofficial visitors.

1041
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 4: We like getting them here around practice and watching like

1042
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 4: a real deal, up close and personal.

1043
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: Like get after it practice.

1044
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 4: Because it attracts you or it you know, makes you

1045
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 4: maybe go somewhere else because it's not your cup of tea.

1046
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 4: So these games are gonna be settled right up front

1047
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 4: on the perimeter, but it's gonna be settled in some

1048
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 4: type of legitimate competitive battle that's gonna you know, the

1049
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 4: game's gonna teeter on, and you've got to have guys

1050
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 4: that truly can just focus on that one particular moment

1051
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 4: to them to have them have their best chance of success.

1052
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: How common is it to have a guy you're recruiting

1053
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 2: check all the physical boxes looks amazing. You wouldn't change

1054
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: a thing about him if you could. But when you

1055
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: start that evaluation of the neck up, he doesn't have it.

1056
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: And you're so mad because.

1057
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: You wish you could take a two star or two

1058
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: star head and put it on top of that five

1059
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 2: star body.

1060
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: How often does that happen? How frustrating is it.

1061
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: When a guy doesn't have that most important piece of

1062
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: the puzzle and you can't.

1063
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: Really, there's not much you can do.

1064
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: You can develop the other stuff in the weight room,

1065
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: maybe you don't, there's no shortcut to develop in that.

1066
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you've evaluation identification and really override recruiting, right,

1067
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,479
Speaker 4: I mean, you've got to really identify the right ones

1068
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 4: before you get into the part where you really, you know,

1069
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 4: want to attract this person to come to university. But

1070
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 4: they've got to be attracted for the right reasons. So

1071
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 4: you really got to find that out. And the only

1072
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 4: way to find out is to go watch practice, hopefully,

1073
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 4: watch a game where they're ahead by a few or

1074
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 4: behind by a few, and watch that reaction. But how

1075
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 4: frustrating is that?

1076
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 3: Man? You know it's But at the same.

1077
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 4: Time, you know what part of recruiting is as important

1078
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 4: to eliminate prospects as it is to fill that board

1079
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 4: up with the ones you're going after.

1080
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: Last year, turnovers were an issue at critical times in

1081
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: big games.

1082
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: So there's like.

1083
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 2: A fifty thousand foot question of how do you fix turnovers?

1084
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: And I could ask you that and you've probably given

1085
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 2: that answer a million times. I'd prefer to ask you

1086
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 2: about to change a quarterback where you brought cam Ward

1087
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 2: in here and that looked like a little dicey Is

1088
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 2: it going to be NFL?

1089
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 1: Is it going to be Miami?

1090
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 2: So as much as you can walk me through that

1091
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 2: process and then what did you get from him so far?

1092
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 3: In spring?

1093
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 4: That was a very interesting and new recruiting experience process.

1094
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 3: It was no longer competing against other schools, It was

1095
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 3: competing against CFL.

1096
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 4: So we until we loved our young quarterback room. We

1097
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 4: love the addition of Reese as well. Reese is a

1098
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 4: great player coming over from Albany, and he was on

1099
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 4: his way down and cam he had chosen to go

1100
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 4: to the NFL, you know, so but we stayed on,

1101
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 4: you know, we stayed on relatively consistently and trying to

1102
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 4: figure some things out.

1103
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 3: And it was I don't remember exactly. It was six

1104
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 3: forty two pm.

1105
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 2: You know, I don't remember exactly the second, the minute, but.

1106
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see a face on coming. I'm like, man,

1107
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 3: what does this guy want? You know? Better not to

1108
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 3: be able to rub it in about his you know, NFL.

1109
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 4: Workouts and whatnot and get on the FaceTime, big old

1110
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 4: smile and he says, I don't want to be a

1111
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 4: Miami Hurricane. And it's like we're announcing this, like now,

1112
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 4: all right, this is going to be point of no return.

1113
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 4: But there was a connection there from the beginning. I

1114
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 4: think everyone felt it was right. It was a matter

1115
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 4: of is this gonna happen now? Is it gonna happen later?

1116
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 4: Because it feels right, and it ended up happening. And

1117
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 4: what we've got ourselves a tremendous blessing, first and foremost

1118
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 4: as a human being and as a relentless competitor because

1119
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 4: he's an alpha, okay, and an alpha.

1120
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 3: At quarterback is a game changer.

1121
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 4: If you watch the film, you'll see all the great

1122
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: things he does. You know, I've spoken just volumes in

1123
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 4: terms of his ability to make things happen, extend plays,

1124
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 4: explosive plays, see the field, make great decisions, all that stuff,

1125
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 4: and we can go on and on about the tangibles,

1126
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 4: all the intangible stuff, his ability to just lead to

1127
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 4: be a true.

1128
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 3: Field general, to play with just.

1129
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 4: Practice, I should say, we haven't had a game with

1130
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 4: him yet, but to practice with that type of just

1131
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 4: to have those kind of guts and confidence and demand

1132
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 4: that of his teammates and teammates de mind that of

1133
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 4: him without any sensitivity getting in the way and not

1134
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 4: allowing anything again in the way accept performance.

1135
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 3: He's got all of us really really fired of.

1136
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: I think it was interesting.

1137
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: I was down here a few weeks ago, three weeks ago,

1138
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: I guess it was, and watched practice. You guys are

1139
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 2: in the middle of the spring ball at that point,

1140
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: and he's out there and he stands out. I mean

1141
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 2: it's pretty apparent pretty quickly, and we went off the side.

1142
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: We watched some cut up, some all twenty two of him,

1143
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 2: and you didn't have to say work. All you did

1144
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 2: was he'd make a throw, hid fit a window, and

1145
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 2: you just kind of look at me, nod your head, next,

1146
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 2: nod your head. And I'm sitting there thinking to myself,

1147
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: although football doesn't work this way. If I were to

1148
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: have inserted that ability on last year's team. I don't

1149
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 2: know how different the wins and losses look, but he's

1150
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 2: gonna be god willing injury notwithstanding. On this year's team,

1151
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: he's going to be involved in inevitably some one possession

1152
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 2: games either way, and seven and five verses ten and three.

1153
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 2: In terms of a coach's reputation, there's a gulf between it.

1154
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 2: But really it's just a bounce here or drop ball there,

1155
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: or a turn over here.

1156
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

1157
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 2: How close you feel like you guys were last year.

1158
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you were better than your record

1159
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: said you were or worse than your record said you were.

1160
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: But the margins of this game being as small as

1161
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 2: they are, what does a presence like that, along with

1162
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: the rest of the roster elevating mean in terms of potential?

1163
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: Because that's all it is in spring potential.

1164
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 3: You know, Oh, it's a massive addition. I mean, let's

1165
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 3: call it what it is.

1166
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 4: I wish you could see this part is after practice,

1167
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 4: how he rounds up the receivers and go and go

1168
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 4: right to the film, go right to it and talk

1169
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 4: through it, or stay out here with them, or they

1170
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 4: grab him and they're talking about this particular concept against

1171
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 4: this coverage.

1172
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 3: What am I seeing? What am I expecting from you?

1173
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: Well?

1174
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 3: I saw this, you saw that, Well, this is how

1175
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 3: we're going to do it.

1176
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 4: This very directive oriented, very just alpha in terms of that.

1177
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 4: And then go back to this last week and he's

1178
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 4: got all the linemen just eating every ounce of food

1179
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 4: in the city of Miami at his house.

1180
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 3: You know, like he gets it, and it's it's been.

1181
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 4: It's just been a very strong, welcoming presence for our team,

1182
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 4: and it's backed up by his performances in practice.

1183
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: You guys, obviously you had a lot of young guys

1184
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: here last year that you had to rely on. I

1185
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 2: assume you probably will play a lot.

1186
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: Of young guys again this year.

1187
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: So what if anything, I'm not asking you, do you

1188
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 2: sacrifice your standard?

1189
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: You never do that.

1190
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 2: But are there some things fundamentally that you change when

1191
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 2: you know we're gonna have a lot of guys on

1192
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 2: the field that haven't been here four or five years.

1193
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 2: It may be that we load them up with less

1194
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 2: or maybe that we call a certain thing a different way.

1195
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 2: What from a coach's perspective changes when you know average

1196
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 2: age on this team is far younger than some years

1197
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: I've been a coacher.

1198
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 4: No, you said it perfectly, and I think every single

1199
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 4: person that coaches here has the.

1200
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 3: Thing players overplace. It's a bottom line.

1201
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 4: We have some great stuff drawn up, but if we're

1202
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 4: not ready to run it, there's no point in running it.

1203
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 3: We have to design and call it.

1204
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 4: And I think our coordinators have done a really good

1205
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 4: job with that and evolving more. I mean, I love

1206
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 4: what we did in the spring, and they really tailored

1207
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 4: things to bring along the guys so they could learn

1208
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 4: the system, find out what.

1209
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 3: They can do well, and then really push the envelope.

1210
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 4: The last two weeks to see what is a capacity,

1211
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 4: because that capacity week to week during the.

1212
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 3: Season is really tested. Right.

1213
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 4: You go from not that we play many wing T

1214
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 4: teams nowadays, but you'll go from a power spread to

1215
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 4: a pro cele offense to a tempo offense.

1216
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of different stuff.

1217
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 4: And if a guy shows capacity along with the ability

1218
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 4: to make plays within the system. Now now coordinators have

1219
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 4: a little bit more flexibility, but if not, players overplaced, a.

1220
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: Whole lot's changing about the sport.

1221
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: I think you know you were at Alabama under Nick

1222
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 2: Saban so Nick Saban retires, and that impacts Alabama, impacts

1223
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 2: the SEC, it impacts all the college football just a

1224
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 2: massive ripple effect. Do you remember where you were, by

1225
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 2: the way, when you heard the news, You remember where

1226
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 2: you were.

1227
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, or what your reaction was. I

1228
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 4: know it was working. So it's in a sense, no

1229
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 4: one coaching happy for him, you know. And at the

1230
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 4: same time, it's like, man, wow, no one would ever,

1231
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 4: no one ever thought that day would.

1232
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 3: Really really come.

1233
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 4: Everyone knows it's coming for everybody, but that would really

1234
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 4: really come. But I mean, what can what can you

1235
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 4: say about the guy? The guy has done more for

1236
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 4: college football than maybe anybody in its history. So but

1237
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 4: happy for him because he's got you know, he's got

1238
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 4: a great family.

1239
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 3: He's got his his grandkids.

1240
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 4: You know, he's got his nineteen thousand Mercedes dealership. He

1241
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 4: should probably give him Mercedes to every assistant coach to

1242
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 4: help him recruit great players, you know, put that on there.

1243
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 3: But now he's he's.

1244
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 4: Certainly had such an impact on everyone that as you'd

1245
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 4: have played form or coach for him, that nothing but

1246
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 4: happy for him.

1247
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: I was gonna so going up there, it was all

1248
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: is interesting. You would go behind the scenes and you

1249
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 2: would see just the army of people who worked there.

1250
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 2: Most of the names you would not have known unless

1251
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 2: you went inside the building. So then some of those

1252
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 2: guys move on, they get head jobs here, head jobs there.

1253
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 2: And you were talking earlier, for example, about strength and conditioning.

1254
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 2: There may be a lot of elements that I noticed

1255
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 2: there that once upon a time I would have seen

1256
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 2: in Tuscaloosa. Can you remember maybe some of the other

1257
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 2: things you would have picked up there or some of

1258
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 2: the other things you just observed at other places along

1259
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 2: the way that sort of went into building the Lego

1260
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 2: house that.

1261
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,959
Speaker 1: Ended up being what Miami is right now.

1262
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the biggest thing and all those places,

1263
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 4: the guys that I had the blessing to work for

1264
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 4: that were really really good always shared the mentality as

1265
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 4: it relates to complacency. They just refused to allow complacency

1266
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 4: to see into the building as it relates to anything.

1267
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 4: And I thought great examples were made by guys like

1268
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 4: coach Saban, you know, saying like, if you're pushing a

1269
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 4: player to do all this extra work to work on

1270
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 4: this part of his game, well I'm going to push

1271
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: you as an assistant coach, to improve your teaching progressions,

1272
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 4: to improve the way that you present your indie drills

1273
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 4: and make them more relatable to game day actual like

1274
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 4: play and name it from the way a guy recruits

1275
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 4: a presentation, the way he's on the road, the way

1276
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 4: he presents himself grooming.

1277
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 3: I got to be a coordinator.

1278
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 4: He just him and some of these other guys, they

1279
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 4: just they made it a staple to challenge everyone in

1280
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 4: the building, including oneself. Without that, there's no growth. So

1281
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 4: I think getting comfortable being uncomfortable, and then regimentation like

1282
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 4: the actual calendar, like from you know, coach felt from

1283
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 4: the repcount as it relates to the.

1284
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 3: Splits, the splits jerk or or the clean you know,

1285
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 3: in combination.

1286
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 4: With the heavy squad that whatever the synchronization of the

1287
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 4: programs are, and the repcount and the build up to

1288
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 4: be able to be effective, and the different position specific

1289
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 4: exercise and development.

1290
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 3: I thought all that stuff was fascinating. The the bricks,

1291
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 3: the sticks, all the other I don't care about that stuff.

1292
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 4: To me, it was all the level of professionalism and

1293
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 4: the people that could teach guys.

1294
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 3: To improve and reach their goals.

1295
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: So you guys are really really bunkered in football twenty

1296
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 2: four to seven, three sixty five, which I appreciate because

1297
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: that's all I talk about all year, so.

1298
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: It really works out for me.

1299
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Do you have what kind of level of awareness do

1300
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 2: you feel like you have on things going on.

1301
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Outside the football world.

1302
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 2: I don't care what it is, world issues, political, whatever,

1303
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: like how how out to left field? Do you feel

1304
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 2: like you are on just stuff that other people are

1305
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: consumed with because I get lost, I don't know what's

1306
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 2: happening and I don't have a fraction.

1307
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 3: On my plate that you have on your plate.

1308
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I got a briefing, you know at

1309
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,959
Speaker 4: the wee hours when I get home and the wife

1310
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: do you realize blank, No, thank you.

1311
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 3: For letting me know, you know.

1312
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 4: Or I got a text from you know, a college

1313
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 4: teammate you know, or you know any a former coach,

1314
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 4: you know, from a famous wrestler passing away, you know,

1315
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 4: to an event from a family member or a teammate,

1316
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 4: or something happened on in the community.

1317
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 3: It's just the job is changed.

1318
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just consumes if you want to do it right,

1319
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 4: if you want to do right by the players, if

1320
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 4: you want to give your assistant coaches a chance to

1321
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 4: maximize their abilities as a head coach. And that's that's

1322
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 4: my belief. I'm not saying it's the right way, but

1323
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 4: you need to completely entrench yourself and to use every

1324
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 4: minute you can to make things better for all those

1325
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 4: around you.

1326
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 2: You got both coordinators here again this year and this

1327
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 2: time last year. You could not have been more effusive

1328
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 2: in your praise of those guys, both Louisiana guys that

1329
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,919
Speaker 2: you brought in and they talk like it and they

1330
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 2: feel like it when you're around them. And now they're

1331
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 2: down in South Florida. But year two, tangibly on the field,

1332
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 2: what's the difference? How big is the impact there?

1333
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 4: Well, you know, they both real I think respectively, we

1334
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 4: jumped away between sixty and eighty spot total offense and

1335
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 4: defense in just about every area of massive improvement, and

1336
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 4: the areas that Sony work third down in red zone

1337
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 4: can really put us over the top systematically and as

1338
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 4: an organization, them having an entire offseason and a spring

1339
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 4: a chance to self assess, for us to get together

1340
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 4: and really just a cross examine. Very few things are

1341
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 4: as important as whether it be system or people.

1342
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 3: Continuity.

1343
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 4: If you could have both great if you could have one,

1344
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 4: it's still ultra valuable.

1345
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 3: This year we got both of those things. It's awesome.

1346
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 4: Those guys are elite human beings and elite coaches. I

1347
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 4: love what they've done in the spring to continue to

1348
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: help us to evolve and to be more connected to.

1349
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 3: Our players as well. So looking forward to a great

1350
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 3: year from both those guys.

1351
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Pound for pound. Who's the funniest guy on that staff

1352
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: right now?

1353
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody's funny, you know, I mean,

1354
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 4: I man, you know, it doesn't It doesn't strike me.

1355
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 4: They all got a lot of energy. They all worked

1356
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 4: their tails off.

1357
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 3: Probably some of the gas some of the analysts.

1358
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 4: They probably have a little bit more personality. Man, funny,

1359
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. I can't say I've had a good

1360
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 4: joke from him a long time. But they bring great energy,

1361
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 4: So they're awesome.

1362
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: That makes up more.

1363
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, one strikes me as a Rodney Dangerfield

1364
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 4: type in there.

1365
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 2: So when you come out of springball, aside from the

1366
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: usual things that are non negotiables every year, if I

1367
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 2: were in your office and there was a grease board

1368
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: and two or three big bullet points for twenty twenty

1369
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 2: four were on it. What are those things that you

1370
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 2: think will make the difference with this team this fall

1371
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 2: just too.

1372
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: You can go three if you want.

1373
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 2: You know what we got unlimited film.

1374
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:50,959
Speaker 1: It's a digital world. Now you go all day if.

1375
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 3: You want to.

1376
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 4: Man, we've got to I could show the grease board later,

1377
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 4: I could show you the bullet points that we took.

1378
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 3: You know, we had some things that had to become

1379
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 3: second nature for us in spring football, you know. And

1380
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 3: as it.

1381
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 4: Relates to the football itself, securing the football you mentioned earlier.

1382
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 4: From a turnover standpoint, we didn't secure the football well

1383
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 4: enough and we didn't create enough turnovers. So the ball itself,

1384
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 4: ball disruption and ball security, we're at a premium. The

1385
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 4: second part is the way we played the game was inconsistent,

1386
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 4: you know. And this has to be a team that

1387
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 4: all the time plays to the absolute max capabilities. From

1388
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 4: an effort standpoint, a team that has talent but that

1389
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 4: doesn't have that consistently is going.

1390
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 3: To show up inconsistently on Saturdays. But a team that

1391
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 3: has sound that can play that hard is really hard

1392
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 3: to beat.

1393
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 4: And we want to become that team by practicing it,

1394
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,960
