1 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: And just like that, we're back yet again. It is 2 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: another edition of the lit Kick Extra podcast. I'm Josh Pate. 3 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: It is Wall to wall Q and A. This morning. 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: You guys have got some good stuff. We had some 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: breaking news last night. I did not even get in 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: bed until two AM, and I was not wise enough 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: to record this last night. If the voice sounds like 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: I am to quote my mother sickly, that's cause I'm 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: recording in the morning, which we all know it's well established, 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: is a bad idea. But we had breaking news, so 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: I couldn't record last night. The breaking news will get 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: to in a second. I also did three more zoom 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: consultations with you guys from the audience last night. I've 14 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: been talking about this for about two weeks. I'm not 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: going to talk about it every episode. I'm just making 16 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: sure I get it in enough shows to where people 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: who are interested here and the people who should be 18 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: interested in it, anyone who wants to get into this field, 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: anyone who may be in college, maybe in high school, 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: maybe just a little bit out of college. I was 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: talking to a guy last night who was forty three 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: years old, and so it doesn't really matter if you 23 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: have an interest or maybe a passion about getting into 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: any realm of this sports media industry, or maybe starting 25 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: your own YouTube channel, starting your own podcast. I'm happy 26 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: to talk with you guys. Email me Joshpayt seven zero 27 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: six at gmail dot com, or you can DM me 28 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: on Twitter at late Kickjosh, and I can tell you 29 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: confidently we got some really really talented, really bright, really 30 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: idea driven and content driven people that I have already 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: spoken to, had three of them last night. I might 32 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: as well have pulled out a notepad and started taking 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: notes to myself because I've gotten some good ideas from 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: you guys. Even as you line those up, thinking, oh, 35 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm about to get good ideas from Josh. Now that 36 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: was a two way street. It's been a two way 37 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: street with essentially every one of those I've done. But 38 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: it's really in depth. We really get down to a granular, 39 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: fine detailed level. So that's really really fun. And appreciate 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: you guys, even though I had to stay up to 41 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: two am last night to finish the last one. As 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: for that breaking news, that's how we're gonna kick it 43 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: off this morning. A reminder, this is just Q and A. 44 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: That's the way we do these. We do him twice 45 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: a week on Tuesday morning, Thursday Morning, and I would 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: also imagine there's a pretty good chance we're gonna leave 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: Late Cake live with this tonight on the twenty four 48 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: seven Sports YouTube channel. So what is this? What in 49 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: the world is he talking about? Well, here's what I'm 50 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: talking about. Quinn Ewers de committed from Texas last night. 51 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: If you follow recruiting hardcore, you understand the bombshell that 52 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: that is. If you're living a life out there, which 53 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: most of you probably are, that does not allow you 54 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: to follow the intricacies and finer points of twenty twenty 55 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: two recruiting. You don't know what I just said, Well, 56 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: here's what I just said. I just told you the 57 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: number one quarterback in America for twenty twenty two from 58 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: the state of Texas, who was committed to Texas de 59 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: committed from Texas. This is a South Lake, Carol guy. 60 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: The hair alone is five star, but he's also six three, 61 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: about two hundred pounds. He's got all the intangibles and 62 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: all the tangibles. I mean, he is a stub he is. 63 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: I think we have him rated the number one overall 64 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: player in America along with obviously being the number one 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: quarterback for the twenty twenty two cycle. He committed to 66 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: Texas about three months ago. Yesterday afternoon, I think it 67 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: was yesterday afternoon, Mike Roach and a lot of the 68 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: folks over at Horns twenty four to seven started intimating, hey, 69 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: there may be some whispers, maybe some smoke here that 70 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: he may decommit. And it was fascinating because I took 71 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: that because listen, no one's more plugged in than those 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: guys on that side. I'm telling you, if you're a 73 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: Texas fan, you are robbing yourself of information. If you're 74 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: not a member over at Horns twenty four to seven. 75 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: Do I say that because I work here partly, But 76 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: I would have told you that long before I came 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: to work here. That's always where I've gone to get 78 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: my Texas information. So anyway, they report that I put 79 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: it out there via Twitter, and sure enough, there it is. 80 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: Five minutes afterwards, someone says, don't worry, this is just clickbabe. 81 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: So then later that night, naturally, quinn Ewers decommits. That 82 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: person's nowhere to be found. But boy, the rest of 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: you were, because I've got no less than forty questions 84 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: from Twitter and from email combined asking my thoughts about 85 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: quinn Ewers. My thoughts are, I'm not shocked. My thoughts 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: are when I tell you that a game like the 87 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: Oklahoma game is, in my opinion, a must win. This 88 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why. Now let me give 89 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: you a backstory as to why I called it a 90 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: must win. I'm not one of these people who throws 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: out thirty seven must win situations every year. That one 92 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: was a must win. Here's the backstory I was hearing 93 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: leading up to that game, the negative recruiting from rival 94 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: staffs against the Texas staff and getting in the ears 95 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: of a lot of kids who were committed to Texas 96 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: and letting them know there was some unrest there and uneasiness, 97 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: and Herman's on the hot seat. That stuff was ramping 98 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: up already before the Oklahoma game. When they lost the 99 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: Oklahoma game, you might as well have thrown gasoline onto 100 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: that match, or a match into gasoline. However however you 101 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: term it, it's bad that's happened. I viewed it as 102 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: a point of no return. I didn't think Tom Herman 103 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: was going to be fired the following Monday, but I 104 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: thought a chain of inevitability was kicked into motion when 105 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: they lost against Oklahoma. And the reason is because I knew, 106 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: as did anyone with any common sense, even if you're 107 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: not close to the Texas program. You had to know 108 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: this was coming. You had to know what was coming. 109 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: Recruiting was going to go downhill quickly. Now. I didn't 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: know that it was going to be this swift. I 111 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: didn't know it was going to be Quinn. You weers 112 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: because this is another kid who is a lifelong Texas fan, 113 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: and that's very important because I want to read something 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: from a piece that Mike Roach put out. It's on 115 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: I think the front page of Horns twenty four to 116 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: seven right now, and it's just kind of his thoughts 117 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: and his synopsis. Now, I'm not going to read the 118 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: whole thing, because you have to pay a little bit 119 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: to do that, but I'm going to read you a snippet, 120 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: and this is really all you need to know. Here's 121 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: a quote from that piece. I was told before yours 122 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: decommitted that he was talking to other prospects and letting 123 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: them know his plans. This will likely hurt Texas in 124 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: more ways than just quarterback, not that it really matters. 125 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: At this moment, Class of twenty twenty one recruiting is stalling, 126 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: while class of twenty twenty two seems to be coming 127 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: to the same type of halt. I'm not sure what 128 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: the staff can do to change the momentum, but the 129 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: dams are breaking. You know what that means. He's not 130 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: gonna say it. I'm gonna tell you. It means it's over. 131 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: That's what it means. It means probably you've reached a 132 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: point of no return there. And I insert the word 133 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: probably only because I believe in hedging basically every statement 134 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: that I ever make in life. I never like to 135 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: say one hundred percent of anything. It's pouring down rain 136 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: outside my apartment right now, which in my world means 137 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna rain today. But yeah, I mean you 138 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: can pretty much remove that probably. It's just it's trouble 139 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: out there. So I believe a decision will be made. 140 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: I believe changes are coming at Texas. But what do 141 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: I think about it? I think the same thing might do. 142 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: That's kind of why I read his summary. That's a 143 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: guy closer to the program than myself that thinks of 144 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: the same thing I do. So if any that just 145 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: kind of validates what I've felt about this for a 146 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: long time. It's amazing. Boy, it's amazing to look at 147 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: the talent roster they have there, which we have rated 148 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: the fifth most talented roster in America. And it's also 149 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: fascinating to just think about where they're part all the 150 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: advantages that are built in. If you can't get it 151 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: done at Texas, where in the world are you going 152 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: to get it done? And I'm talking about Tom Herman. Now, 153 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are surprised by this. 154 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm surprised by this. We were talking in our slack room, 155 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: our national editorial slack room the other day about how 156 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: big a crap shoot it is. Barton and Budd talked 157 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: about this on their latest podcast that I encourage you 158 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: to go check out if we're talking about just what 159 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: a crap shoot it is. Even when you have all 160 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: the boxes checked when it comes to hiring a head coach, 161 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: remember do you remember the process? You remember how in 162 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: demand Tom Herman was. And here's the other thing about him. 163 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to remind myself not to lump him 164 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: in with Kirby and Ryan Day and Lincoln Jeremy Prewitt. 165 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: He is not a first time head coach at a 166 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: major program. Herman was at Houston, so he cut his 167 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: teeth well for a moment or two at Houston before 168 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: he went to Texas. So you had seen him as 169 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: a head coach before. You'd seen him as a coordinator obviously, 170 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: but you saw him as a head coach. He rapidly 171 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: improved the state of affairs at Houston to where you thought, 172 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: there's no risk here, it's all reward. LSU wanted him bad. 173 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: Texas wanted him bad. South Carolina thought they had him 174 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: once upon a time. So Texas gets him and it 175 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: just hasn't worked out. I mean, and they won that 176 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl, which was I thought very misleading, and I 177 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: think Crystal Conte when we listened to him talk actually 178 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: with the Horns twenty four to seven staff during the offseason, 179 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: he understood that Sugar Bowl win was not necessarily indicative 180 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: of Hey, this program is now a ride, it is 181 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: a it is a New Year's six caliber program. They 182 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: were just ahead of schedule, and that was kind of 183 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a random happenstance of variants. As I liked to say 184 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: sometimes I say I like to say it even though 185 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: that's probably the first time that combination of words has 186 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: ever come out of my mouth. That's what happens when 187 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: you record in the morning. Kids, Make sure you record 188 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: at night, not in the mornings. But you know, this 189 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: is not even the first red flare that's gone up 190 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: losing these in state kids. This has been happening for 191 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: a while. This cycle, the twenty twenty one cycle. Tommy 192 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: Brockermire All Saints Episcopal there in Fort Worth. Dad played 193 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: at Texas. James Brockermire, his brother, dad played at Texas. 194 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: These dudes are looking for any reason possible, any excuse 195 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: possible to play at Texas. Tommy Brockermeyer is committed to 196 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: the University of Alabama. James Brockermire is committed to the 197 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: University of Alabama. The concept of letting these kinds of 198 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: guys get away is inexcusable. You just can't do it. Now. 199 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: You've got the number one player in the country who 200 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: happens to be a quarterback in your backyard, and not 201 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: only has he decommitted, but he's also telling kids, Hey, 202 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: you probably want to follow me. Looks like he's headed 203 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: to Ohio State. By the way, that's not official, but 204 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: looks like he's headed to Ohio State. Again. He is 205 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: a twenty two guys, so it's not like he has 206 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: had this decision made by Friday. So that's what's happening 207 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: at Texas again. We're going to talk a lot more 208 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: about that on Late Kick Live, and that happens later tonight. 209 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: Now let's move on. Auto said, how do you feel 210 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: hearing your voice essentially for a living personally? I cringe 211 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: every time I hear my own voice in a recording, 212 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: video or anything like that. Well, Auto, as I noted 213 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: at the beginning, apparently there's a big difference in my 214 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: voice if I record at night or in the morning. 215 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily disagree with that. I as you 216 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: as you describe yourself. I used to feel that way 217 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: times one hundred despised the way my voice sounded when 218 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: I would speak in church or something like that. I 219 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: would go back and listen to the recording. Hated it, 220 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: absolutely hated it. And I'm not telling you I love 221 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: it Now. I just don't feel the same way that 222 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: I used to now. I did learn some different inflection techniques. 223 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: I developed a little bit more of a non regional dialect, 224 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: which is translated to mean that you can't immediately tell 225 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm from Harris County, Georgie. Now, don't get me wrong, 226 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of where I'm from. I'll tout that 227 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: all day until the end of time. However, it doesn't 228 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: always make for the best multimedia content, and especially with 229 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: my voice. You just there's footage out there. Maybe one 230 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: day I'll build up the courage to share some of 231 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: it with you. But it was not a pretty sight 232 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: and it was an even uglier sound. So otto, you're 233 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: not alone, brother. I think probably most people feel that way, 234 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: if you really got them to be honest with you. 235 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: Drew is next up. He's got a couple of them 236 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: that are pretty good, he said. The first one is 237 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: you said a few weeks ago, if Nick Saban was 238 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: ten years younger, then he would have been offered a 239 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: head coaching job in the NFL again, and he wouldn't 240 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: be at Alabama. My question is, if you think that, 241 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: does that also not mean guys like Daboswiney and Kirby 242 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: Smart could soon be getting NFL offers. I know they're 243 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: not Nick Saban, but they have to be generating some 244 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: interest at that level. Right, all right, let me give 245 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: you a few takeaways here. Firstly, I'm gonna speak selfishly. 246 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: I prefer a college job over the NFL. I think 247 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: the head coaching job at Georgia is better than a 248 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: head coaching job in the NFL for a myriad of 249 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: different reasons. Secondly, I do not feel in the slightest 250 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: that Daboswenny is an NFL guy. I think he is 251 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: a college guy through and through. I think if you 252 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: cut his arm gently, I mean it's not sever a 253 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: limb here, but if you cut his arm, he would 254 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: just bleed college football. Whatever that looks like. That guy's 255 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: not NFL. Thirdly, I think NFL franchises understand that what 256 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: Daboswenny is works perfectly within the confines of a college program. 257 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: Daboswenny's not a guy who's going to walk into a 258 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: coaching clinic and wow you on the grease board. Daboswenny 259 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: is not a guy who you would describe as a 260 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: master tactician. If I had Daboswenny here, and I had 261 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: another microphone sent to me from CBS so we could 262 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: have a co host and it was Daboswenny, he would 263 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: say the same thing. Actually, he would probably start to 264 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: say it, and then maybe his agent would tap him 265 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: on the shoulder and say, hey, shut up, shut up, 266 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: shut up. Nope, doesn't matter if it's true, shut up. 267 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: But if it were just me and him, you know, 268 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: and I in jack to truth seram into him, first off, 269 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: he's like, man, you've cut me and now you're injected 270 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: something into me. But if it were just me and 271 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: him and he was honest, he would say that he 272 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: understands that Kirby would be a little bit different. Kirby 273 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: is more guy who is a master tactician on one 274 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: side of the ball at Kirby smart has coordinated defenses 275 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: for a long time. Davis Wheney hasn't. That's not his game. 276 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: That's fine. Obviously it works because he's got guys who 277 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: can do it. However, Kirby runs things a little bit different. 278 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: I could see that down the road for Kirby, not 279 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: that I've heard anything. I could see that way down 280 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: the road. If one of the two were to go 281 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: that route, I would easily think it would be Kirby. 282 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: Guy like Lincoln Riley's far more likely Lincoln Riley. Some 283 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: people still view it as an inevitability that he's going 284 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: to go As for Saban, Saban's in a different world. 285 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: Nick Saban is made for the NFL. He just prefers college. 286 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: I go back to his days with the Dolphins, and 287 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: I laugh. There's such revisionist history on this thing. I 288 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: laugh whenever I hear someone say Nick Saban failed in 289 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: the NFL. Nick Saban didn't fail in the NFL. What 290 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: is the definition of failure? I guess he didn't win 291 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Is that the definition of failure? Because 292 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: if that's the case, well the guy failed, as do 293 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of coaches. Nick Saban walked into Miami. 294 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: It was a horrible franchise. Nick Saban left Miami better 295 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: than he found it. How in the world does that failure? Secondly, 296 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: most of you are familiar with this story, but I'll 297 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: just tell you in twenty seconds in case you're not. 298 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: There was a guy by the name of Drew Brees, 299 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: who at the time I think had still been with 300 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Nick Saban wanted him. Team doctors in Miami 301 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: would not clear him. So Nick Saban didn't get a 302 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: guy named Drew Brees. He ended up going to Oh 303 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: where'd he go? New Orleans? Wonder what he's doing? These days. Anyway, 304 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: Breeze goes to New Orleans, Saban settles for Dante Culpepper. 305 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: Dante Culpepper many things Drew brees he is not, and 306 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: yet he was still competitive down there. Saban had a 307 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: better first two years in the sport than Bill Belichick 308 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: and Bill Parcells. Did I know that off the top 309 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: of my head, because way back in the day, when 310 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: I was doing radio down in Columbus and Bama had 311 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: just started their run, you would have some vengeful Auburn 312 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: fans or LSU fans or Georgia fans call in and 313 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: they were getting their eyes beat out. So their only 314 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: recourse was to say, well, yeah, he's only here because 315 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: he couldn't cut it in the NFL. And I had 316 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: that ready and then they said, well, whatever man, and 317 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: they hung up. That's it. That's all I said. Whatever 318 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: man couldn't even do me the courtesy of knowing what 319 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: my name was. And for the record, atto to go 320 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: back to a previous question, Yeah, that was back when 321 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: I hadn't shaken that regional dialect yet. All right, Next 322 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: up is Drew. A second question here from Drew, he said, 323 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: you've mentioned multiple times you work out and you wear 324 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: sweats under the table. What is your favorite gym exercise? 325 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: I think this question it makes sense to me, it 326 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: makes sense to Drew. I don't know if it makes 327 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: sense to you if you were a casual listener. So 328 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: what he said, there is my daily routine, like today, 329 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: for example, when I'm going to do Late Kick Live 330 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: later tonight, I will get all my work done and 331 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: then I'll go to the gym and I'll go straight 332 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: to the studio from the gym. And most of the 333 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: time I don't remember to bring a change of clothes 334 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: with me. I'll bring the white tea because I always 335 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: have a white T shirt with me everywhere I go. 336 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, who among us doesn't. And so I'll go 337 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: over there and I'll just keep the same sweatpants on 338 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: that I had in the gym. Colin loves it, but hey, 339 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: outside of Colin, there's no one else in the building. 340 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I got a great relationship with the janitorial 341 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: staff over there. They would never judge me, they would 342 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: never criticize me, well, at least not to my face, 343 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: and really that's all that matters. I Mean, it's a 344 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: well established fact that as long as you criticize people 345 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: behind their back. No one ever knows, no one ever 346 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: gets hurt. I think I read that in the Bernstein 347 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: Bears book one time when I was little. So anyway, 348 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: I will do the show and all you will see 349 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: is desk up. I got the white T shirt on 350 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: well from the desk below. It's a tragedy. I mean 351 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: there is a guy sitting there doing a national college 352 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: football broadcast wearing a very ratchety pair of sweatpants, huge 353 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: hole in the crotch. I call it a ventilation system. Really, 354 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: just wear and tear. And then I also have these 355 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: same pairs of tennis shoes that I've probably worn every 356 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: day for about two years. As I have told you 357 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: many times, I am the lowest maintenance person on the 358 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: face of this earth. I wear the same thing to 359 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: work out every day, every single day. I've even gotten 360 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: myself into the habit of wearing the same shirt on 361 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: our Zoom meetings every single day. So I'll get people 362 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: subtly ask me, hey, are you okay? Yeah, I'm doing okay. 363 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: And then I'll have other folks and I appreciate this. 364 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: You guys send me shirts, and I think sometimes like 365 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: I've got some Iowa State stuff I got some Miami stuff. 366 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: I got some Auburn stuff lately, and I think you 367 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: guys are sending it to me just because you want 368 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: me to have some team gear. I think that, But 369 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: there is also another possibility on the table, and that 370 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: is you think I'm homeless and you think I need clothes, 371 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not necessarily saying that my appearance suggests otherwise. 372 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: So thank you for that. And by the way, I 373 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: just realized I didn't even read all of Drew's question. Pathetic. 374 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: I just had to delete like four minutes of podcast 375 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: because I went back and looked and said I didn't 376 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: answer his question. What Drew said is, you've mentioned multiple 377 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: times you work out and then you wear the sweats 378 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: under the table. What is your favorite gym exercise? It 379 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense, Drue, so apologize for criticizing you. 380 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it in and not edit that part 381 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: out so that I'm the one that sounds like an 382 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: idiot and not you. My favorite lifts are shrugs because 383 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 1: it does not require bending of any joints and so 384 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: you can lift a thousand pounds. And secondly, I like 385 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: bent Dumbell rose And thirdly, I like squats. I do 386 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: legs twice a week. I used to be no leg guy, 387 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: and that changed in the last seven eight nine years. 388 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: I'll give you a story about why it changed right quick. 389 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: I walk in the gym one day Max Fitness there 390 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: in Columbus, Georgia, right there on Veterans Parkway. This was 391 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: a little bit longer than ten years ago, but still 392 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: point remains. I walk in there one day, about to 393 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: do my third chess workout in probably the last five days, 394 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: and there is a guy over really getting after in 395 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: the leg press machine. But I could only from the 396 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: angle I was at see his upper body. I couldn't 397 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: actually see his legs doing the work, so that doesn't 398 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: really stand out a whole lot. So I start getting ready, 399 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: start you unpacking my bag and everything, and then I 400 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: see the guy get up from the leg press machine, 401 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: at which point I can see his whole body. He's 402 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: only got one leg. He takes his prosthetic leg and 403 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: then he puts his prosthetic leg on. So I had 404 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: a guy over here, he was former military. I had 405 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: a guy over there who was doing more leg workout, 406 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 1: and I used leg in the singular because he literally 407 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: only had one to work out. He was over there 408 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: doing more in the way of leg workout than I 409 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: had done legs workouts, and it made me feel about 410 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: two feet tall. So I left the gym. I didn't 411 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: even work out. I mean, this really affected me. I'm 412 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: not joking about this, And I left the gym listened 413 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: to a bunch of who did I listen to on 414 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: the way home? Less Brown? I listened to a bunch 415 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: of Less Brown motivational stuff on YouTube. I still remember this, 416 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: and I just reassessed some things, and from that point on, 417 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: I said, I'm doing two leg workouts a week. So 418 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: I do two leg workouts a week. Big lootes, big paychecks. 419 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: That's my new motto. So now we can move on, 420 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: because now I have given you a phrase with which 421 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: I highly recommend you don't live your life by, but 422 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: I live mine by that. All right, now, we have 423 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: a very important question coming up, and this one's from Tani. 424 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: So Tani, I'm about to send this podcast to he 425 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: or Jordan one will edit this and occasionally they submit questions, 426 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: and this one's probably one of the most important that 427 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: either of them has ever submitted. Tani said, I want 428 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: the definitive JP top ten Fleetwood Mac songs on the 429 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: Thursday show. Please all right, here we go. I'm not 430 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: going to take an hour with this. The number one 431 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: song is also the greatest song ever recorded, and that 432 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: is Dreams, not because it recently went viral on TikTok. 433 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: I've been on the Dreams bandwagon for a long time. 434 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: Number two. I've told tany this. He's from the Silver Springs, 435 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: Maryland area or Silver Spring, Maryland area. Silver Springs is 436 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: my number two song by Fleetwood Mac. You gotta get 437 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: the live version from nineteen ninety seven from the dance 438 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: when they did the reunion. It's the best version of 439 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: this you'll ever find. It is readily available on YouTube, 440 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: even though they shaved some of the live portion out. 441 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: But Silver Springs number two got left off of the 442 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: Rumors album for I don't know, some random song like 443 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: Oh Daddy, which I'm not a fan of. So Silver 444 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: Springs number two. Gypsy is number three. Little Eyes led 445 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: by Christine McVay instead of Stevie Nicks. That is my 446 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: number four song. Rhiannon, which is about a witch, a 447 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: Welsh witch, is my number five song, very pertinent since 448 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: it's Halloween, although it doesn't have a Halloween feel to it. 449 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: Number six song is the Chain. Number seven song is 450 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: Well Off the Beaten Path. That's not the title. The 451 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: song is Well Off the Beaten Path. It is a 452 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: song called family Man. It's got some Spanish classical guitar 453 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: in it, and it's got it in a song that 454 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: does not sound like Spanish classical guitar belongs in it, 455 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: but yet it's in there. It's a concept song. It 456 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 1: sounds way different. It's very very unique. So family Man, 457 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: number seven, gold Dust Woman, really good cocaine song. Had 458 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: to get one in there, although you know if you 459 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: were if you got a seven year old in the car, 460 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to pick up on 461 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: the fact that that's what it's about. And to be honest, 462 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: unless you really really listen to the lyrics hard, you 463 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: won't know what it's about. Either, Go your own way. 464 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: Hashtag Forest Gump soundtrack is number nine. Number ten is 465 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: Sarah and just because I can, Tony, I'm going to 466 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: number eleven, hold Me another Christine McVay song. So those 467 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: are my top eleven Fleetwood Mac songs. Because you can't 468 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: just have a top ten now, I need every single 469 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: one of you who bets on sports, or has ever 470 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: even thought about it. To pay close close attention to 471 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: this question coming up, because it is vital, and what 472 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to say afterwards is vital. We'll do it 473 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: right after this. So TP gave a nice question, nice 474 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: submission here. I hear you talk about betting a lot, 475 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: but it's new to me. What advice would you give 476 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: to a new better all right? TP? My first advice 477 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: is always don't. Don't bet. However, it makes me hip 478 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: critical because I do and I do talk about it 479 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: on the show. But the reason why I say don't 480 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: is because I can't really know you, and so if 481 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: I can't know you, then I have to assume that 482 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing. I know that sounds callous. 483 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: I know that sounds disrespectful. I just know how hard 484 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: it is to profit long term betting sports. The vast 485 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: majority of you will not do it. You will not. 486 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: We are able to. I've done it six years running. 487 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: Now we are above sixty percent against the spread currently 488 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: on the games that we hand out in the Rama 489 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: Noodle Express. I say currently because I know sixty one 490 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: percent is an absurdly high number. And if you're able 491 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: to hit it that over the course of a season. 492 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: Please don't go around promising people you're about to duplicate that, 493 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: because that is next to impossible to do long term. 494 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying to you. But 495 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: I did jot down before I started recording just a 496 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: few things you're asking for betting advice and resources. And 497 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: so here's a first thing. Understand the difference between the 498 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: average better and the best pros on the planet. The 499 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: average difference over the course of one hundred games is 500 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: probably four or five. They're gonna win maybe four or 501 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: five more games over the course of one hundred games 502 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: than the average better is. That's the difference. That's how 503 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: thin the margin is. So when you got some folks 504 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: at the water cooler on Monday talking about how they've 505 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: been on this run, and then you got another guy 506 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: who's going five hundred, that's first off, that's purely anecdotal. 507 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: It's purely variance. You got to get to stretch things 508 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: out to like a thousand games sample size before you've 509 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: really calibrated anyone's skill to understand how good they actually are. 510 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: You could go ten and oh over your next ten games. 511 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: I could go oh to ten, and we haven't proven 512 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: anything about how I am related to how you are. 513 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: A blind monkey over here could go seven to three 514 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: and I could go three and seven Saturday. What does 515 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: that matter? Now? If the blind monkey goes seven hundred 516 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: and three hundred over the course of a thousand bets, 517 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm subscribing to the blind monkey and I'm never making 518 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: my own picks again. Second thing is understand the concept 519 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: of betting numbers and not teams. You don't bet Alabama, 520 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: you don't bet Missouri. You have a set of numbers. 521 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: It has got to be data driven. You remove your emotion. 522 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Don't even think in terms of the team logos. Don't 523 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: even think in terms of how you feel about the team. 524 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: It's numbers. It's all numbers. What price are you getting 525 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: that team at? And then where what value is there? 526 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: If you if you ever think to yourself, man, I'm 527 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: betting Ohio State next weekend. No matter what you're You're dead. 528 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: You're dead. I don't even care if you win that. 529 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: In fact, if you win with that methodology, you're only 530 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: further crippling yourself because you are falsely convinced that you 531 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: figured something out and that that strategy works, it doesn't work. 532 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: It does not work long term. Thirdly, divorce yourself from 533 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: emotion or the concept of betting for fun. This doesn't 534 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: sound cool, doesn't most people bet for fun. You can 535 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: bet for fun, but like I said, most people do that. 536 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: Most people lose money too. You got to divorce yourself 537 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: of the emotion. In fact, a lot of the games 538 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: I bet, I don't even watch. I don't want to 539 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: be emotional. I don't want any I want to be 540 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: completely level headed. I don't mind at all betting a 541 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: game and then just checking the ending. Now, because I 542 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: also do this for a living, I do watch most 543 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: of the games, but I can tell you right now, 544 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: like Bud Elliott and I were on a Mountain West 545 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: game the other night, and I could tell he was 546 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: watching that thing pretty closely. I bet that thing and 547 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: I was gone. I'll just check in at the end 548 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: because I know none of you are going to ask 549 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: me a Mountain West question. And otherwise, if my only 550 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: interest in that is monetary, I don't want to watch it. Fourthly, 551 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: bet in terms of units, do not bet in terms 552 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: of dollars. You can't be sitting there about to submit 553 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: a bet saying, oh, what do I feel about this? 554 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: Let's put twenty dollars in next one, the thirty on 555 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: this one. You got to define your bet size. It's 556 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: got to be units. Define your bankroll. You know, if 557 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: it's one thousand dollars and then one percent of your 558 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: bankroll is going to be one unit. Then if you're 559 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: gonna bet two and a half units on a game, okay, 560 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: well there you go. That's a twenty five dollars bet. 561 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: That's how you should operate unit size, bankroll size, not 562 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: just oh I feel like placing this much on this game. 563 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 1: You got to be consistent. Think about how thin the 564 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: margins are. You can't afford to just wing it. Know 565 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: the line and then know how to shop lines and 566 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: have multiple outs. Don't just be betting with one person. 567 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: And if you got a local bookie who's charging you 568 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: one twenty juice, you're dead to begin with. Don't be 569 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: doing that stuff. Don't bet parlays, just stay away from them. 570 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: Stop doing that. Do the math. If you figure the 571 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: chances of hitting every game as a coin flip, just 572 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: do the math. That means the chances of winning one 573 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: game is well, it's it's fifty percent right, and then 574 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: the chances of hitting two of them. What is that? 575 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: That's one in four right, chances of hitting three, one 576 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: in eight, chances of hitting four one in sixteen. Is 577 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: anyone out there offering sixteen to one returns on parlays. No, 578 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: it's twelve to one, ten to one, depending on where 579 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: you look. And it looks so great, I'm gonna bet 580 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: ten dollars. I'm gonna one hundred and twenty. It is 581 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: a losing proposition, long term mathematical certainty. It is a 582 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: losing proposition. Don't bet parlays. I don't care how juicy 583 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: they look. Vegas understands how juicy they look. One of 584 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: the worst things that ever happened to me is the 585 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: first day I ever bet as a teenager. I hit 586 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: two fourteen parlays in one afternoon. I had four hundred 587 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: dollars in my pocket. I felt rich. I was the 588 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: next war On Buffett I was never gonna have to 589 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: go to college because I had figured out how to 590 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: make a living betting on sports. Right now. I was 591 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: just a teenager. I had a reason to be that stupid. 592 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: Don't be that way as an adult. Don't ever pay 593 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: anyone for picks is my next piece of advice. If 594 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna buy anything, buy information. I'm not affiliated with 595 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: this website, but I tell you, guys, I've told you 596 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: like three or four times. The folks at College Football Unlimited. 597 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: I've done some work with them in the past. They 598 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: are a phenomenal resource. It is very very low priced. 599 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: I would, as I've said, charge more than they do 600 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: for their service. But what they are doing is they 601 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: are giving you a full data run and data analysis 602 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: and data profile of every game for every week. What 603 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: they do is they give you a projected margin. They 604 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: also give you a cover probability based on the current 605 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: line for every game. And the games that they rate 606 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: above anywhere from like fifty seven to like a sixty 607 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: five percent potential hit rate. I man, I'm telling you 608 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: those games. If you were to do nothing but blindly 609 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: follow those games alone, you'd be doing pretty good for yourself. 610 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: They are a really, really well run organization. I know 611 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: the guys who run it. They're very sharp. They work 612 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: in the data field anyway, so you know they're sports fans. 613 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: It just it makes sense that they do what they do. 614 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: It's not a big operation. You've probably not heard of 615 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: that website, But I'm telling you I would advise that 616 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: over a lot of websites. You probably have heard of. 617 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: College Footballunlimited dot com is the website, by the way. 618 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: And lastly, please don't say lock. Just don't ever say 619 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: the word lock. Just don't do it. All right, let's 620 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: get let's get one or two more here, David said 621 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: the Bama game Saturday demonstrated that anytime your team takes 622 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: the field, you risk losing a player, maybe even a 623 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: key one like Jalen Waddle. Given that, do you think 624 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: how many games a team has played this year will 625 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: factor into the annual debate of best versus most deserving? 626 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: If so, how do you lean David? This is a 627 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: good question, because what he's saying is there could come 628 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: a time this year where we have like an eleven 629 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: and O Alabama. Let's just say that's the case. Or 630 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: let's say we have a ten and one Georgia and 631 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: we're trying to compare them to a seven and O 632 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Let's say Ohio State gets seven games in 633 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and you're trying to decide who gets a playoff spot. You, 634 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: on one hand, could look at Ohio State and say 635 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't care how many games they've played eyeball test. 636 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: They pass it with flying colors. But then you could 637 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: come back on the other side and say, all right, 638 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: but even if I were to have put them on 639 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: the field with Purdue again and Indiana again in Michigan 640 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: State again, yeah, they'd be favored a ton by those teams. 641 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: But Alabama was favored by a ton against Tennessee and 642 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,239 Speaker 1: they beat Tennessee by a lot. But what did they 643 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: expose themselves to. They exposed themselves to the risk of injury, 644 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: because you can get hurt even against a subpar opponent. 645 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: And so Alabama or in this case, the team that 646 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: played ten or eleven games, they played four more games 647 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: than you. They had four more opportunities to suffer injury 648 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: that you didn't have. And David, it's a very good point. 649 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I don't know where 650 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fall because I'm going to have to know 651 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: which teams were comparing. Well, I can't do it hypothetically. 652 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: In other words, I have to know which teams were comparing, 653 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: all right, Thomas, to wrap it up here, had some 654 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: South Carolina stuff and I'm just gonna read them and 655 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna respond to all of them. How long 656 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: do we need to be patient? What do other coaches 657 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: think of Will mus Champ? Do we as fans have 658 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: the right to be fresh after watching him quit games 659 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: mid game? An example would be kicking a field goal 660 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: at LSU down twenty one with short yards to gain. Finally, 661 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: how does South Carolina move forward as a program to 662 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: reach some level of success? Well? Number one, Thomas, You've 663 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: been patient long enough, so I'd be frustrated if I 664 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: were you. Number two, I think a lot of coaches 665 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: within the industry think highly of Will must Champ as 666 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: a defensive mind. I think there's a mixed opinion of 667 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: Will must Champ maybe as a leader of a program. 668 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: So that's two entirely different concepts. Number three, do you 669 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: have the right to be frustrated? Yes, you absolutely do. 670 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if I would 671 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: refer to it as him quitting mid game. I know 672 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. You and I probably have different 673 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: opinions on that, but yeah, I understand the frustration either way. 674 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: And then how do you move forward as a program 675 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: to reach some level of success? Well, you got to 676 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: define what your standard there is. If you've got a 677 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: guy not meeting it, you got to decide whether you're 678 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: going to make a move. And before you make a move, 679 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: you got to have a pretty good idea that you 680 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: can find someone to come in there and do a 681 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: better job. One of the biggest shortfalls and pitfalls of 682 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: this entire process is not enough folks understand. You can't 683 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: fire someone and then start your search. Now, people who 684 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: conduct searches know this, But people who call for a 685 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: coach to be fired, who are you replacing him with? 686 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: Do you know that you could get him? And is 687 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: he going to be definitively better than the guy you have? 688 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: He better be because of how much it's going to 689 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: cost to buy out the current staff and pay a 690 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: new staff. So I don't know who that name is 691 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: with Carolina. That's why I've been hesitant to talk about 692 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: hot seat with wool must Champ. I mean, I think 693 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: you should be frustrated, but it's a big lead between 694 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: being frustrated and all right, let's make a move. But 695 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: I got to make a move because now I got 696 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: to go record some stuff with Woolfong and I'm going 697 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: to then put together Late Kick Live for tonight, and 698 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: I hope you join us on the twenty four to 699 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: seven Sports YouTube channel and subscribe while you're there, and 700 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: also while you were here give us a five star review. 701 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that, and thank you for 702 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: always tuning in.
