Joining me is always over there in beautiful 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.520 New York City. My man Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you? 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.280 I'm great, Ty, I just got the call that I 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.680 will be joining the Oakland. A's okay, a piercing have 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.040 a roster spot for me? 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.800 Yeah? Can you play center field? 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.800 I have a lot of hamstring stretching to do. Tie, 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.440 I have a lot of stretching. I am good. I 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:49.320 have uh, just a lot of excitement. We haven't spoke. 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:49.800 We did it. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:54.160 We recorded what right after the National Championship game eight 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.639 am after the National Championship game. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.880 That was Tuesday morning, so it's been a little bit 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.360 longer than usual. This show is actually going to drop 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.000 on Wednesday, January sixteenth. If you're listening to us, now, 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:11.080 hello from the past, because yeah, Dan old habits die hard. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.399 We decided we're going to wake up early. We are 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.800 recording this bright and early, nine am Sunday morning, it 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.440 advance of the Wednesday posting. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.360 It's just too long between shows. It's too long between 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.320 shows for me now. And this is from Tuesday morning 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.000 to Sunday morning, because we're used to going Sunday morning 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:34.959 Wednesday late afternoon, and to go from sun or excuse me, 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.160 Tuesday morning, bright and early all the way until the 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:43.240 following Wednesday. With everything news wise, with transfers, with guys returning, 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.040 with NFL declarations, with coaching shuffling all over the place, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.120 and just general news, and the fact that we wanted 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:55.160 to recap bad predictions and our fantasy things drafts. It 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.760 was too long time. It was just there's that to 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.640 make up that much ground, I think as a so, 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.240 even though we're putting this out later on, if something 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.520 were to happen big between now and Wednesday, as we are, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.920 we're operating again in the interstellar fifth dimension, right. 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.720 Right, of course, sure behind the bookcase. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:18.200 If Nick Saban retires, if Urban Meyer decides he wants 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.519 the Toledo job, whatever it is, we have the flexibility 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.480 to hit record on Thursday or Friday or whatever. But 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.840 this is how we're operating as of now. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.480 And as of now, Dan, everyone is undefeated. I love 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.079 that joke. It's not even so much a joke as 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.520 it is a cold hard fact. We are squarely in 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.600 the off season. We've got a bunch of news to 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.600 get through. We are also going to review our fantasy 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.520 things as well as some of our favorite and least 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.440 favorite predictions from the twenty eighteen season. So we've got 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.079 a fair amount to cover here, even though there isn't 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.160 any football taking place. But on that note, Dan, are 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.520 you enjoying the first week of the college football postseason? 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:08.120 It's been an active one. Yeah, I listen. I I 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.840 am enjoying it. We have coaches moving all around. We've 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.000 got that second or maybe I guess third wave of 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.760 coaching hires because of you have the mid season, you 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.200 have your general December carousel, and then there's the NFL 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:28.560 possibilities and shufflings and late firings because things didn't quite 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.359 work out, and there's there's been an active few days 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.960 behind us. So I am enjoying it very much. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.800 So I have to give you full disclosure here place. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.640 I was out late last night, later than oh look 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.960 at you a youth. You know, I was at a 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.200 game night until three am? 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:46.520 Was it that late? 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:47.880 Three am? 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:48.640 Wow? 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.440 This is what people in their thirties do when they're married. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.200 I was at a game night until very late. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.520 There's at least ten percent of people that heard you 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.080 were at a game night until three am and said 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:04.560 to themselves, I'll bet time cater swingers. I'll bet that's 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.360 what that his that's his euphemism, that's his cover. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.720 YadA, YadA, YadA. Today I've got my husky Jennifer Lawrence 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.200 voice on even ait that Okay, you want to get 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:15.080 into the news first. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.320 Yeah, let's play catch up and figure out what we 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.800 care about, what we have, opinions about, what there might 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:34.600 be repercussions, repercussions regarding we have. Okay, so you want 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.480 to start with hires. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:40.320 I want to start with Cliff Kingsbury to the Arizona Cardinals. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.760 This is my favorite story of the young off season. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.520 So as you know, Cliff Kingsbury let go at Texas Tech, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.560 a hard decision for them. He was a native son 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.400 wasn't working out. As soon as Cliff Kingsbury hits the 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:58.880 open market, Dan there seemed to be a pretty big 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.279 market for his service. A lot of folks were interested 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.480 in talking to him. He's seen by many as a 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.920 very bright offensive mind, if not a potential head coaching candidate. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.400 So he eventually ends up at USC as offensive coordinator, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.760 and a lot of USC people who were very excited 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.160 about this. They saw it as a bit of a 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.359 coup for Clay Hilton. You know the story, right. But 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:25.800 then then Black Monday hit in the NFL, and suddenly 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.840 there were a variety of NFL openings that might have 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.640 been of interest to one Clifford Kingsbury, and news reports 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.279 surfaced that there were several teams, among them the Jets, 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.880 the Cardinals that wanted to interview Cliff Kingsbury. They requested 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.360 permission but were denied right well, and behold, here we 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.960 are only a few days later, Cliff Kingsbury is going 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.680 to be your actual new head football coach for the 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:51.560 Arizona Cardinals. 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.640 Dan, Yeah, so procedurally, I don't know if he resigned. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.680 There were some stories where just Lynn Swan and the 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.040 athletic department then gave permission, you know, the sort of 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.000 if you love something, set it free. Element of his 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.159 full story. I don't know if that fully ties in, 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.240 but it makes sense in my mind, I cannot believe it, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.280 and I can believe the taking a job and then 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.760 immediately taking a better job thing. I get that. We 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.760 saw that with on a certainly smaller scale, with what 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.400 Chip lindsay taking the Kansas offensive coordinator job and then 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.960 gets the Troy head coach Nanny Diaz Many Daz. For sure, 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.799 it's not great, it's not pretty, it's not a great look. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:37.159 But in the scheme of the machinations of hiring, whatever 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.400 you got to do with best for you, you got 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.720 you have to, you know whatever, whether it's money, whether 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:49.480 it's prestige, whatever. But Cliff Kingsbury going from failed mid level, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.159 mid tier Big twelve head coach, that's right, checks out 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.040 big time offensive coordinator job and what we've seen of 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.120 him as an offensive mine both at Texas A and 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.200 M and Texas Tech. Great, Yes, that makes full sense. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.240 You'd got a young quarterback of the future, all these 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.039 really interesting receivers at USC, a winnable division in the 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.040 PAC twelve South. Yeah, that's I mean, he's you know, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.400 has that image of you know, enjoying the spotlight to 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.280 whatever extent, like this is what a what a coup 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:22.760 for USC. And then saying, not just will he become 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.120 a high profile offensive coordinator in a big city at 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.920 a big school, he's going to then leap three rungs 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.480 without coaching a game, without developing any talent at USC, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:42.120 without sort of washing through laundering his sort of image 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.440 as a winning football coach. Is now an NFL head 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:53.120 coach for the Arizona Cardinals, all because he helped to 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.280 develop Patrick Mahomes but didn't win with Patrick Mahomes a 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.480 few years ago. Is that what we're basing this on. Yeah, okay, 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:08.000 that's that's something. And I don't like to. I don't 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.560 like to tie a lot of emotions to something like 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.800 this because so much happens behind the scenes, and I 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.760 do and it's tough to but I do feel bad 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.800 for USC fans, who, you know, they were all so 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.080 angry about the Clay Hilton era and the way it 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.440 had come to pass this past year, especially later on 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.320 in the season, and they're like, Okay, here is like 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:32.400 that bright mind coming in to help revitalize things in LA. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.640 It was memorable, And. 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.480 Of all of the memories we cherish of the Cliff 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:47.280 Kingsbury era at USC, I don't know where to start. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.280 Tile boy, whether it was like the two receivers that 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.959 committed to USC because they thought they'd be coached by 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.720 Cliff Kingsbury or JT. Daniels really getting a new outlook 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.959 on offense. Yeah, the fan base thinking, man, we are 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.600 what are we going to do with this crazy aer 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.000 rid Huh. Yeah, So Cliff's gone. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.640 Cliff is gone. He is new head football coach at Arizona. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.840 To that point, there was another college coach who was 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.800 in the mix, reportedly in the mix for a coaching 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.800 duty with the New York Jets. Matt Ruhle know him 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.360 as the Baylor coach won his bowl game, finished what 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.680 seven and six this year, did a great job with 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:31.560 the Baylor Bears. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.880 Yeah, one and eleven to seven and six, I believe. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.400 Yeah, he was in talks to be the Jets head 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.680 football coach. Sounds like they wanted him, but he says 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.960 he couldn't accept it because they wouldn't let him hire 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.840 his own offensive coordinator. There's always a bit of a 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.800 red flag if you're taking a new job and you 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.480 want to put yourself in the best position to succeed. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.640 He said, quote, I'm never going to be in an 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.200 arranged marriage I'm never going to subcontract jobs to the 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.000 offense and defense, and so they always want to hire 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.760 people that believe what I believe right and that are 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.440 going to do things our way, which makes sense to me. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.400 I'm not quite sure I understand what the Jets are doing. 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.080 I like Matt Ruhle, I'm not sure if he's necessarily 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.720 like the guy that you want. I'm not sure if 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.680 Adam Gazes is the guy that you want either. But 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.720 the Jets haven't won a playoff game in about fifteen years, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.360 so whatever their process is for finding and identifying and 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.559 hiring new head coaching talent, their process needs a bit 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.440 of revision as well. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.719 Sure, yeah, that's same sort of stupid that if you're 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.560 going to take a huge risk and put yourself out 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.599 there for an NFL job, that you would want to 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.040 do it on your terms. Because certainly he has it 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.840 good with his contract and his ability to hire at Baylor, 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.040 and I imagine he will be coveted with by NFL 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.320 teams and college teams should he continue to have success 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.320 in Waco. So I think that seems pretty pragmatic on 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:57.720 his end. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.320 All Right, we got a bunch of hiring news that 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.920 we're going to have to rifle through. Neil Brown is 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.240 the new coach at West Virginia. Your boy, Neil Brown 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.120 from Troy. I'm not sure if we talked about this 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.640 in the midst, but yeah, Neil Brown going to West 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.760 Virginia seems like a good move. We've got Steve Sarkisian 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.559 going back for a second tour of duty to Alabama, 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.559 Tony Gibson going to NC State, I. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.080 Believe, Yeah, that is the report at our power, Bruce 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.400 Veldman reporting that, so he of a good amount of 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.200 success given where that defense was when he fully took 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.040 over at West Virginia with Dana Holgerson to where it 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.400 sort of evolved to developing a lot of talent, especially 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.000 playing the past very well those West Virginia defenses. So 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.680 NC State, you know, with some changes, hiring Tony Gibson 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.040 feels like a pretty decent move. And to your point 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.280 about Alabama and Sarkisian, a bit of an exodus on 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.120 the Alabama staff, which is the sort of it has 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.960 almost reached the point where that's a feature not a bug, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:05.679 where Nick Saban constantly needs the turnover and the fresh mindset, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.120 and he always has the analyst to that that pool 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.280 to hire from, you know. Butch Jones is another name 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.120 that you know as a rumored to you know, be 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.120 in the mix for jobs outside of Alabama and within 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.199 Alabama as an analyst. Who was was it Peter Tiel, 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:27.079 the investor who believed in, like, you know, recycling the 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.199 blood of virgins or something like. 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.280 That to a very weird place. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.360 But maybe there's something a little more on the level 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.680 about Nick Saban And it's also listened he probably churns 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.240 through these guys because it's a grind working for Alabama 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.400 and keeping that consistently high level program. Is because Danny Enos, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.640 who was the quarterback coach and associate head coach this 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:49.560 past year, Yeah. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:49.800 He's going. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.319 He goes to Miami, right Yeah, with Manny Diaz to 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.880 run that offense. Brent Key, who did a good job 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.000 at the offensive line. He goes to Georgia Tech. I 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.800 believe he's a Georgia Tech alum. So he joins Jeff 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.280 Collins there. Josh Gaddis, who I think was pretty well 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.520 regarded both at Penn State as a receivers coach for 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.719 Joe Morehead and then he was at Alabama as a 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.360 co offensive coordinator this past year. He moves on to Michigan, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.120 where the assumption is he will help to open up 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:21.199 and perhaps modernize the Michigan offense. So more changes there, 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.960 and I think he was pretty well regarded. You saw 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.640 how the Alabama receivers performed this year, so I imagine 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.720 there was some part of that being his tutelage. So Alabama, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:36.040 especially on offense, looks to be new in terms of 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.800 the coaching staff. Defensively, I think some of that's still 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.480 in place. I know, I believe tash Lupoi may have 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.360 had some of his play calling responsibilities adjusted later on 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.480 in the season, So we'll see what happens with that defense. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:53.000 But Alabama, with Steve Sarkeesian and reportedly Chip Long perhaps 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.240 also going in a new direction. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.559 Temple's new head coach is going to be Rod Kerry 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.720 in Northern Illinois, so you'll remember Temple hired Manny Diaz 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.960 after Jeff Collins left to go to Georgia Tech. Rod 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:10.720 Kerrey coming east now to coach at Philadelphia. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.840 Exceedingly solid, has done a very good job with Northern 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.000 Illinois and at this point, you know he wins the 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.960 MAC this year, yet again not a ton to prove. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.880 So I think the Temple job, as we've seen, a 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.440 really nice stepping stone. And also the Temple job is 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.840 just good. The Americans a really good conference, so good 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.080 for him, all right. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:36.480 Louisville has hired Court Dennison as co defensive coordinator. I 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.920 believe you are familiar with mister Denison from his time 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:40.240 at Oregon, young. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.520 Dude linebackers coach at Oregon. He will be the co 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.240 defensive coordinator for Scott Saderfields and the Cardinals and comes 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:48.960 back to Louisville. 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:49.120 Was it? 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.920 Louisville as a coach under Bobby Patrino a couple of 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.120 years ago, known to be a very good recruiter. So 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.560 another seemingly solid move, by the way, and under the 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.800 radar move that I love. So Utah lost their offensive 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.880 coordinator Troy Taylor to I believe Sacramento State. That's right, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.240 he got the head coaching job there. So they had 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:13.479 an opening and they re hired, not just hired, rehired 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:21.960 Andy Ludwick as somebody who roots for a Pac twelve team, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.880 thrilled by it, as somebody who wishes the Pac twelve 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.440 would be more exciting and win more games. Boomed out 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:28.960 by it. 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.120 There aren't a lot of folks out there who pay 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.720 close attention to college football mm hmm that look at 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.920 Utah's offense and say, you know, if we're looking to 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.000 reinvigorate things, let's bring in Andy Ludwick. 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.840 If you look at your offense and you say, you know, 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.080 we're just generating too many big plays and we're just 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.960 too unpredictable. What can we do to really. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:52.160 A little bit? 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:59.880 Yeah, let's yardage is so showy. Points are ostentatious, Andy, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:01.760 Andy lud went back. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:06.240 To you, coordinator, speaking of guys who bounce around. Jim Cheney, Yes, 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.760 our boy. Yeah, he was the offensive coordinator at Georgia. 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.680 Our joke forever has been that he's the offensive consultant. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.640 If you've got an issue at your team, at your company, 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:20.240 if you need some offensive help for hire. Yep, bringing 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.320 Jim Cheney. He's going to Tennessee to backfill the position. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.160 Georgia has promoted their co offensive coordinator and quarterback coach 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.240 James Coley. Yep, So Jim Cheney to Tennessee should be interesting. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.440 Yeah, they whiffed on a number of candidates. Reportedly, Tennessee 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:42.360 did throughout the process to come to Knoxville. And Jim 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:49.840 Cheney is the ultimate defensive head coaches offensive coordinator. That's 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.040 just like, yes he is. He shows up on time, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.880 He gets everybody in order h listen Georgia's listen. Georgia's 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.760 offense was excellent last year, and we will soon see 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.960 and Jim Cheney's offenses have always been pretty good. We 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.680 will soon see whether that Georgia offense from twenty eighteen 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:13.480 was a product of an extremely high talent level or 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.280 just a very very competent coordinator, because the talent level 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.920 on offense at Tennessee is not quite where Georgia's is, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.240 But in terms of consistency, in terms of dependability, Tennessee 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.399 will have a B plus offense it looks like. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.679 And finally, on the coaching front, we have Dana Holgerson 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.960 looking for a new defensive coordinator, reportedly targeting Tim de 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.160 Ruter from. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.119 Cal Cal really really savvy. 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.560 I like that. Yeah, Cal had a really good defense 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.480 this year, So we shall see what the future has 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.520 in store for the Houston defense. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.280 All right, Yeah, he was at I think A and 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.760 M about seven or eight years Yeah, sure, so it 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.320 does have experience in that area. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.280 So since we do have a lot of other stuff 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.560 to get through. Yeah, we need to rifle through transfers, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.920 declarations and if we have a name for guys who 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.080 just announced they're coming back, but them as well. The 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:10.000 biggest news was on the transfer front, particularly the transfer portal. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.680 I need to work just a spreadsheet. It's just a spreadshee, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.320 I need to workshop that sound a little bit. But 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.720 Justin Fields who's transferring away from Georgia. He's going to 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.040 Ohio State, which has had a bit of a domino 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:29.240 effect given that Tate Martel, who was the highly regarded 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.640 backup to Dwayne Haskins, he has now announced that he's 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.840 going to be going elsewhere. So Tate Martell's services are. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:37.480 And ahead of the Rose Bull. By the way, Tate 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.560 Martell was like, no, of course I'm not leaving, and 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.520 I Am not going to be smirch somebody for confidently 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.480 declaring that they're returning and then moving on because behind 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.040 the scenes, who knows what's happening. But yes, Tate Martell 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.679 highly regarded from the West Coast. I think he went 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.680 to high school in Nevada. He goes to Ohio State. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.720 Doesn't appear like he would be in a good position 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.480 to win the job with Justin Fields and entering the Fray, 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.680 so he will be moving on. I have not seen 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.480 an association with any specific schools or visitations yet. 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:15.000 Jalen Hurt has at least three schools that are reportedly 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.240 interested in his services Maryland, Miami, and Oklahoma. That will 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:19.720 be one to watch for sure. 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.640 Connections to the first two with Mike Laxley and Danny Andos. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.920 Yeah, Oklahoma is mentioned here. That's a note because Austin 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.920 Kendall is in the transfer portal now as well. He 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.880 was the backup to Kyler Murray. So it'll be curious 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.760 to see which direction Lincoln Riley goes, Alis said, Lincoln Kennedy. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.160 That's fine. I always curious about that too. 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.280 It'll be interesting to see it's it was a late. 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.800 Night Dan Listen, Swing or city. 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.280 It will be interesting to see which direction Oklahoma goes 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.119 for its quarterback next year. All right, who else we 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.640 got Tye story in there? Case Thompson in there. 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.679 Juan John ammeron speaking of Penn State, he's in the 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.840 transfer transferport as well. Had a kind of rough year 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.160 right with drops that would be putting it mildly Dan. Yes, yeah, 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.320 that was, and he's somebody who came in. He played 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:09.440 as a freshman. 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.560 And caught that game winning touchdown against Iowa. Yeah, the 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:14.959 future was very bright for Juan Johnson. 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.679 But physically just exactly what you want out of a 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.680 deep threat, just big jumper everything, but really did struggle 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.520 with bringing the ball into his palms this year. 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.480 All right, here are your declarations very quickly. For Alabama, 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:34.280 we had Quinn Williams, Jonah Williams, erv Smith, Savion Smith, 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:39.880 Josh Jacobs for Clemson, Cleveland Ferrell for Iowa State, Hakeem 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:44.160 Butler for Ohio State, Dwayne Haskins. We also had David 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.000 Montgomery from Iowa State. 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.440 Excuse me, we all these names make sense to Yeah, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:54.960 jj Arthega White Whiteside, who was I think a senior, 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.680 like a fourth year senior who could have come back. 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:01.160 It's like a Notre Dame situation where you are technically 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:02.520 not a red shirt kind of thing. 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:07.080 Yeah, we have Cody Ford from Oklahoma, their offensive lineman, 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:14.800 and maybe maybe Kyler Murray. So may funny be Kyler Murray. 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.200 We record were it's nine to forty am on Sunday 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:22.959 the thirteenth. By the time people listen to this, we 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.200 will know it'll be known because the deadline I think 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.960 is tomorrow as we record this, So we're in the 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.960 fifth dimension and you'll know by the time you listen 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.760 to this. But as of now, we personally do not 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.920 know exactly what Kyler Murray's future holds. But there was 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.760 a report that the A's are moving forward with the 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.720 understanding that he is going to be playing football. 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:47.200 All right, well, we'll talk about that more momentarily, I promise, 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:51.720 and returning to school, Troy Die, Christian Fulton, MALIEK. Harrison, 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:55.280 Zach Moss, Derek Brown, Marlon Davidson. 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.359 Auburn a big winner other than Stidham, and I think 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:01.880 Darius Slayton leaving their defense and uh yeah, mostly their defense. 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:04.159 Real big news with who's returning with. 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:09.280 VARs Davis, Jeremiah Dinston, Daniel Thomas yep Okay kJ Hill 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.760 from Ohio State coming back, Brandon Jones from Texas huge. 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:14.280 Who else do we got here? 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.800 Any other big? Go the tight end form Maszook, you go, yeah, amazing. 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.320 He and I think Jase Sternberger were probably the clear 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:25.119 best and Rfsmith tight ends in the SEC. Jase Sternberger 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.560 declares a few weeks ago, Big Oh is coming back. 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:32.159 Give me like twenty seconds about former Oregon players suing 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:34.000 Willy Taggert. 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:39.520
