Speaker 5: we talk about it banda closer we get to the tournament,

13
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 5: the more excited I get because I love seeing how

14
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 5: players and coaches respond to the pressure of having to

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 5: play and participate in these big moments.

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 4: I want to want to.

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Keep today's show college based. We're going to have Missouri

18
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: head coach Eli Drink, which is a former app state

19
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: head coach who's a friend of the show. It's an

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: unbelievable job to turnaround there. How about this from five

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: and five, his first year, six and seven, six and seven,

22
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: this year, ten and two, second in the SEC East

23
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: and incredible turnaround performances. He's kind of recaptured the enthusiasm

24
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: within that program, within that city. So looking forward to

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: that conversation coming up in just a few minutes. But

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: championship games. You mentioned it Buck this weekend, when you

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: look at it. I was talking to a buddy the

28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: other day who was getting ready to go out and

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: at tend one of these games on the scouting side,

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: and he can go to any game he wants. He

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: has his choice. And think about this in years past,

32
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: when you've got Georgia Alabama plan, which is a you know,

33
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: it's a fantastic matchup. Then we've got Michigan, Iowa, you

34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: got Florida State, Louisville, Texas, Oklahoma, and you've got SMU

35
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 2: two lane as well. But in a year where you've

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: got Alabama and Georgia plane and there's still a ton

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: of NFL players in that field, Don't get me wrong,

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: stacked loaded, He's gonna go out and watch Washington versus

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: Oregon because there's a boatload of NFL guys in that

40
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: game out there in the PAC twelve. Again, we talked

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: about this all the time. Man, what a shame the

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: Pac twelve falling apart just as they kind of found

43
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: their stride here. But man, that is a game that

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: has the NFL's attention, not only do you have the

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks there in bo Nicks and but you've got

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: really good line play on both sides of the line.

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: You've got receivers for both teams. Like it is a

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: good good matchup there with a playoff spot on the line.

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Good matchup, big time rivalry.

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: If you haven't spent any time in the Pacific Northwest,

51
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 5: you don't understand like the hatred and the anger and

52
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: the the tension.

53
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: That exists between not friendly and you Dub.

54
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 5: Like there's something about the Dogs and the Ducks when

55
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 5: they get together.

56
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: It is not friendly. When you look at the way

57
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: these teams are playing.

58
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, man, the way Organ has played the

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: last five six games of the season, they saw, man,

60
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 5: they have been running through opponents.

61
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: Their physicality is overwhelming.

62
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 5: They get it. They feed off their coach Dan Lanning.

63
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 5: I mean it's there, It is fully visible for everyone

64
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: to see. You. Dub has a toughness about them, a

65
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: grittiness about them that has always existed within that program.

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 5: They kind of pride themselves and being the dogs like

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 5: they come after you.

68
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: They're always in attack mode.

69
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: And so now to run this back even though you

70
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: dubble one the first one to run it back for

71
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 5: the championship, the last championship impact, Well, oh, this is

72
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 5: gonna be one deb look this one we want for

73
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 5: the ages.

74
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a great game. That is on Friday,

75
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: December first, So looking forward to that. That's gonna be

76
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. So they're playing at Allegiance Stadium. Looking

77
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: forward to that game Friday. Then we get Georgia Alabama,

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: which is a great contest as well.

79
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: Iowa. I don't know.

80
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's enough enough punch there offensively

81
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: for Iowa to dethrone Michigan in the Big Ten championship game.

82
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: But we'll have all those games broken down for you.

83
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: We'll watch them, we'll evaluate them. As we get into

84
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: the draft, we'll be talking a lot about those players.

85
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: But today's episode, it's not a long one, but it's

86
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: a good one, and it's a good one because of

87
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: our guests that we have getting ready to join us.

88
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: He's a head coach at Missouri. He has done a

89
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: phenomenal job turning around that program. He's a friend of ours.

90
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Always enjoy having them on. Here's our conversation with Missouri

91
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: head coach Eli Drinkwitz coach, you appreciate it man, taking

92
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: some time for us today. You know, first of all,

93
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: what's this off season like as you go into you know,

94
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: recruiting really heavily, as you try and finish up recruiting

95
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: season with the product you have to sell coming off

96
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: of the year you guys just had.

97
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's an interesting thing because you know,

98
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: college football is schedule has changed so much that we

99
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: finished the regular season, we still have about thirty days

100
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: before our bowl game. Yet every player on your roster

101
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: is a free agent right now, and so you know,

102
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: we spent four days. I've spent every day except for

103
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: this fifteen minute interview with y'all, I'm meeting with my

104
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: players and talking about what is their future? Are they

105
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: going to transfer, do they want to stay, what is

106
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: their role going to be? So that's kind of sped up.

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: And then we spend the afternoon watching portal film or

108
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: high school recruits because now you've got to rebuild your

109
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: eighty five rosters. So you know, it's an interesting time.

110
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I will say this recruiting is all about selling either

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: what you plan on to do or what you've done

112
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: in the past. You know, the previous three years I

113
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: was planning on I was selling what I was planning

114
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: on doing. This year, we're being able to sell tangible results.

115
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: And you know, we had a three thousand yard pastor,

116
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: a thousand yard receiver, a thousand yard rusher. I think

117
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: we're the only school in the SEC to do that.

118
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: That could be wrong on that, but you know, we've

119
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: got a very dynamic offense. You know, on defense, we're

120
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: going to have another defensive end draft that we had

121
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: three first team All Conference SEC players on that side

122
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: of the ball. So we have a lot of really

123
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: positive momentum. You know, my message to every recruit and

124
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: whether it's in the portal or out is Maszoo provides

125
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: you a lot of stability in the midst of chaos.

126
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: And if you look at whether it's market history or

127
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: the past, wherever you can find a stable place in

128
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: the midst of chaos, that's where the most growth is

129
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: going to happen. And we believe these guys have an

130
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to really grow. You can tell right behind me.

131
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: Our number one goal is chase two dreams. You know,

132
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: we want our guys to be able to chase the

133
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: dream of playing in the NFL. But we also want

134
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: them to chase the dream of having a purpose outside

135
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: out of the game of football, and I think at

136
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: Missoo we sell that opportunity at a really high level.

137
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 5: You know, coach, the game has changed so much like

138
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 5: when DJ and I and yourself, when we were coming

139
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: out of school, there was about being a student athlete,

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 5: getting your education. People talked about the degree. It seems

141
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: like the degree part has been diminished when you're talking

142
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: about opportunities in those things. Because I l so as

143
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 5: a coach and as a leader of young people, how

144
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: do you still show them that you care about them

145
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: beyond football while also having to navigate the transfer portal

146
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 5: and free agency.

147
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: As you talk about.

148
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 5: It, just seems like college football is at a cross

149
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 5: rows because it's no longer.

150
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: The college football that we all knew and loved coming up. Yeah,

151
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: it's not.

152
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: But I think in the middle of the whole thing,

153
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: you have to start with loving your players. You have

154
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: to start with what it's really all about. And the

155
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: reason why I got into coaching had nothing to do

156
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: with the amount of money they paid me, nothing to

157
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: do with the big stadiums. It had to do with

158
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: the desire to really impact young people's lives. And man,

159
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: I lost my way for a little bit the last

160
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: two years like that. I was always stressed and consumed

161
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: about all those other things. But man, this year it's

162
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: been about my players. And I think so many times

163
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: like everybody's chasing this nil, which is good.

164
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: Man.

165
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm all for these guys. I think they deserve absolutely.

166
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: I wish we would get to a revenue share model.

167
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: That's a whole nother conversation. But the most valuable thing

168
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: they're going to get from the University of Missouri is

169
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: not the NIL. It's going to be that degree because

170
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: the degree has earning power for sixty years. NIL is

171
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: a one time earning power opportunity, and so they have

172
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: to combine that. Like you know, it is a lot

173
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: of money that these guys are getting, which is again awesome,

174
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: but it's not going to compare to the millions of

175
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: dollars that they're going to earn based off having a

176
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: college degree in the connections that we can provide through

177
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the university, and so you know, again for us, that's

178
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: just a huge emphasis. It's a huge emphasis of finding

179
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: a purpose outside of the game. We all though the

180
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 1: game is going to end for everybody at some point.

181
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Look at Tom Brady. It finally ended for him last year.

182
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: But he has a bigger purpose than just the game.

183
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: And I want all my guys to find that.

184
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: One of the things that we always talk about here

185
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: when we're talking about evaluating, we can all, you know,

186
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: we can all watch the tape and say this guy

187
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: can play, this guy can't play. It's a lot more.

188
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: It's the makeup on guys that ends up determining how

189
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: successful they're going to be. I know it's the same

190
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: with you when you're recruiting these high school kids or

191
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: transfer portal kids. I was talking to a GM of

192
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: the day and they were playing a bunch of rookies,

193
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: and I said, what's the key to getting these young

194
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: guys out in the field and playing well? And he said,

195
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: we had to identify guys who love it and guys

196
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: that can learn it. And I know how hard that

197
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: is at the NFL level to do that with college kids,

198
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: How in the world are you able to find out

199
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 2: if a's seventeen, you know, maybe you start recruiting when

200
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: he's sixteen, that they a that they love it, And

201
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: then how do you get the information to know that

202
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: they're going to be able to learn what you're going

203
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: to ask them to do.

204
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: I think it's actually easier to find out if they

205
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: love it because you can wade through the bs of recruiting.

206
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, I told the kid yesterday on the phone, man,

207
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: recruiting is not real. Okay, Like the day you step

208
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: foot on campus, none of the recruiting matters. It's gonna

209
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: matter if you show up on time to waits. That's

210
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: what's gonna determine whether or not you're successful. And what

211
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: people post on Twitter is not gonna be motivation for

212
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: you to show up and work out, because you're gonna

213
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: be doing updowns if people are late. So like, I

214
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: don't really care about recruiting stuff. And guys that are

215
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: constantly consumed with recruiting and their announcements and all those

216
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: different things, those are the guys that you first go.

217
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if the juice is

218
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna be worth the squeeze.

219
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: You know, we actually have a saying right now.

220
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: I read this article about three weeks ago, mercenaries versus

221
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: rusty trucks. You know, you got sports cars out there

222
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: that look good and they drive fast, but man, are

223
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,239
Speaker 1: they gonna always be reliable? That old rusty truck that

224
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: that Daniel and I used to have to drive around

225
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: that thing, that's where you need to go. It showed up,

226
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: It had a purpose, it was driven. It didn't matter

227
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: what the road conditions were, it was going to show up.

228
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: I got one of those guys right now, Cody Schrader

229
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: are running back.

230
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a misty truck guy.

231
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Now, he's plenty of talent that don't get me wrong,

232
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: but he's the definition of toughness, determination and mindset over talent.

233
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's a combination that we all have

234
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: to continue to look for. You know, the learning part

235
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: of it. I put that on our coaching staff. I

236
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: think a poor worker complains about his tools, you know.

237
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: I think as coaches, you got to take ownership of

238
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: making sure that what you need those guys to do,

239
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: you find a way to teach it. Because at the

240
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, football is still blocking and tackling,

241
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: and if it's so complicated that you can't figure out

242
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: the combo coverage and the checks after the motions and

243
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: all that, that ain't on them, that's on you. Trying

244
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: to have the perfect call every time on both sides

245
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: of the ball, Like it's still moving a guy against

246
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: his will on the offensive side of the ball, it's

247
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: still on the defensive side of the ball, hands inside

248
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: three points or triple extension at the hips, shock and

249
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: shed and then have the courage to make contact and.

250
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: Make a tackle.

251
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: If all that other stuff's getting in the way, we

252
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: got to change a little bit of what we're doing coaching.

253
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: And we'll be back right after the break.

254
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: Coach.

255
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 5: I'm fascinated by this because obviously I grew up playing

256
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: in the ACC. But the conversation about the SEC has

257
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: existed since the beginning of time. Now that you're in

258
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: the conference, you've been in it before as an assistant,

259
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: but now back as a head coach. What is the

260
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: outside world missing about the differences in coaching and playing

261
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 5: in the SEC versus other places.

262
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: See this is funny because Kirby gets on game day

263
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the other day it's like, hey, if you want some

264
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: of this SEC, come get it. Here's the difference for me.

265
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: And I was in the ACC for three years and

266
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: it was a great conference, okay, and I got nothing

267
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: negative to say, But the difference is when we're playing Kentucky,

268
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: or we're playing South Carolina, or we're playing Florida this

269
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: year and those guys, you know, Kentucky's a Bowl eligible team,

270
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina and Florida ended up not quite making it,

271
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: even Arkansas. Every one of those teams have multiple NFL

272
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: players on their roster that are going to be drafted first, second,

273
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: third round. I mean, you could talk about Spencer Ratlers,

274
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: probably a second round drafted quarterback, and they didn't make

275
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: a bowl game. Okay, they got multiple defensive tackles whore

276
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna play in the league. That doesn't happen at every conference.

277
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: The depth of talent on every team is what's different.

278
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't think people understand that. And

279
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: it's not just oh, this year they have this guy.

280
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: It's that's a freshman. Two years is going to be

281
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, if this conversation doesn't start and stop

282
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: with Georgia's, every player on the Georgia's defense in twenty

283
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: twenty one was drafted.

284
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: That's what makes this league different.

285
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I played against a or coached against a really, really,

286
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: really good Clemson team. They had five players on defense.

287
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: Draft that's totally different.

288
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane. I'll give you a quick anecdote on that.

289
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm going through watching these offensive linemen and they got mems.

290
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: This did ginormous tackle at Georgia.

291
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: So he's hurt. He's beat up a little bit buck

292
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 4: this year. So watch a couple of games.

293
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: Then buddies were like, hey, you got to go watch

294
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: him last year when he's healthy. And so anyways, I'm

295
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: bouncing between last year and this year, and so I

296
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: get to this year. I guess it was maybe Tennessee

297
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: and they honor their lineman who passed away, so they

298
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: changed their number for that game. So I'm watching, I'm like,

299
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: where is this guy? He's not playing. They got this

300
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: other guy's, other huge kid in there, like number seventy seven,

301
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: And I'm on the phone with a buddy and he goes, no,

302
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: that's him.

303
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: He goes the sad thing.

304
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: It was believable to you that they got another six

305
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: foot seven and fifty pound kid that they just swapped out.

306
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I didn't even bad an eye.

307
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: I thought they just just keep churning these guys out.

308
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: But coach, to me, that's also the difference. As you

309
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: talked about the defensive tackles at some of these schools

310
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: the trenches. As much as you can talk about skill guys, quarterbacks, receivers,

311
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: DB's all that stuff. Isn't this still at the same

312
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: game It's always been where you win with those big guys.

313
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a line of scrimmage league. Both sides of

314
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: the ball are very good. And I will say this

315
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: about Georgia. I think Kirby, Uh, for whatever reason, we

316
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: overvalue the amount of talent that he's you know, acquired.

317
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: He's doing a hell of a job coaching. I mean

318
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: we've had him twice in the fourth quarter and we

319
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: couldn't break them. I mean, those guys do not beat

320
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: themselves for him to be on the streak that they're on.

321
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: He's got an unbelievable coaching staff. And I think Kirby

322
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: has done a really good job with his culture too.

323
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, just a lot of respect for him because

324
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: it's not just the talent. But you're absolutely right, the

325
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: lines of scrimmage are just elite in this league, and

326
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a real challenge for everybody.

327
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: Let me ask a quick fall up with Quinn fall

328
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: sorry Beck with the two new teams coming in with

329
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: Texas and Oklahoma coming in. We've talked about it from

330
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: a scouting standpoint, you know, with those teams going to

331
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: the Big Ten from the West Coast and with those

332
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: two teams coming in there, we think it's going to

333
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: make our job a little bit easier just because as

334
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: good as those leagues are now, you guys are even

335
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: getting stronger in terms of evaluating even evaluating your own roster.

336
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: I mean there's no lamps, Like, it's got to make

337
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: it a little bit easier to know what you have

338
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: early on in the season as you go throughout it.

339
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's the interesting thing about how college

340
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: football is going to be shaped now is you're going

341
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: to have to win sixteen to seventeen games in order

342
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: to win a championship, and our rosters aren't really built

343
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: for that, and there's no really way to bring guys in,

344
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, like in the NFL. So that's going to

345
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: be an interesting thing. I think you're kind of seeing

346
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: that right now in the college football playoff, Like are

347
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: these teams really the best team when you know they're injured,

348
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: you know they're beat up, Are they still going to

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: be worthy of being the top four?

350
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting. I don't know.

351
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us really know. The craziest thing,

352
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: and y'all will know better than we will, is I

353
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: think these West Coast teams that are going to be traveling,

354
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: how much does that travel impact their ability to play

355
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: and compete at a high level. I mean you're talking

356
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: about Washington. I thought I saw on their schedule where

357
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: they got to go to Penn State and Rutgers in

358
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the same season. Well, that's going to be interesting. And

359
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: there's a different kind of cold when you go. I mean,

360
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: I know it's cold in LA. They roll up in

361
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,119
Speaker 1: the Michigan in November.

362
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: Coach, you brought up something that I really hadn't thought about.

363
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 5: When you talk about like, if you do the entire marathon,

364
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 5: you're talking about fifteen sixteen games in your mind, does

365
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 5: it change the way that you have to go about

366
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 5: practice because in the NFL they have certain things where, hey,

367
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: you only have fourteen padded days, you kind of do

368
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: things for the playoffs. Well, now, for you, does that

369
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 5: mean I probably need to start thinking about if we're good,

370
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 5: how's it going to be when you get to week

371
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 5: eleven and twelve practice in your team?

372
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

373
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: You know that's actually something that we looked at this

374
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: year because we have a veteran team. We have some

375
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: guys that have some miles on him from a GPS

376
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: data and from a play play number standpoint, and I

377
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: think you absolutely have to balance your veterans and how

378
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: much you're gonna put wear and tear on those guys

379
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 1: versus developing your younger guys on the team because they

380
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: still need those reps.

381
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: So it's a balancing act.

382
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: You know. We got an older veteran named Theo Weese

383
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: who had an outstanding season, but we noticed like early

384
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: in the year, like guys, he can't run five thousand

385
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: yards on Tuesday, Like if he does that, then we

386
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: ain't gonna have him on Friday. And we have a

387
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: saying around here. Fresh horses run fast races, so you

388
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: got to get your horses to the race fast. But

389
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: there's still a physical nature to the game that you

390
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: have to have and so I honestly think that's where

391
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: really good coaches.

392
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: Figure it out.

393
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: It ain't a science, it's a feel. It's like a

394
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: good cook. You got to figure out each team, each roster,

395
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: each game's got to be managed just a little bit different.

396
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: You got to know what the main ingredients are the

397
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: main ingredients for this team. We got to have hands inside.

398
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: We got to do Mazoudril on Tuesday, where our mindset's right.

399
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: But on Wednesday, you know, we might need to back

400
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: it off a little bit. Let's have a great walkthrough

401
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Let's be full speed on Friday.

402
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: I love that last one from me, coach. We appreciate

403
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: your time today. But as somebody who has a reputation

404
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: for being creative and always kind of on the cutting

405
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: edge what you're doing offensively, I'm always curious, like, who

406
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: are some of the other guys that you look at?

407
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: Is there stuff? I know, maybe it's difficult obviously during

408
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 2: the season, but when you get a minute to take

409
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: a breath, are there guys you enjoy studying and picking

410
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: up a thing or two?

411
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: Like?

412
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: Who are some of these innovators?

413
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: Who are some of the guys that you respect and

414
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: you like to dig in and study.

415
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, honestly, in the NFL game, we run

416
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: so much outside zone that I'm constantly wanting to watch

417
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: Dwayne Ladford at Atlanta. I think he does a great job.

418
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: But scheme wise, you know, the Dolphins are doing some

419
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: unbelievable stuff. Obviously, Shannahan's always on the cutting edge of

420
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: what he's trying to do. You got throw coach McVay

421
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: in there, you know. And I don't even know these guys.

422
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: I just watch them from afar. You're always keep it

423
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: in track of what Andy Reid's doing. But then in

424
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: my mind, I also understand that the NFL is a

425
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: totally different game than ours, and so sometimes the field

426
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: spacing and all that doesn't translate. So then you go

427
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: into it. You know, I have a great respect for

428
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: coach Riley, both of them, both Lincoln and Garrett, So

429
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: I peak those games, you know, I peak guys that

430
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: have worked with me in the past. Bush just hamm

431
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: done at Boise to see what he's doing. You know,

432
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: PFF's awesome. I just pull all the explosive plays from

433
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: the previous week and watch them on Tuesdays just to

434
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: be what's the exciting thing that's going on, and different

435
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: guys will catch your eyes every week. The biggest thing

436
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: that I've learned over my course of time is just

437
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: because it's a good play for them, you got to

438
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: figure out what's the why, Why were they running the play?

439
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: Why did they think that was going to work, Like,

440
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: what did they set up in the previous weeks that

441
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: made that U a compliment and you got to strip

442
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: it down to what's their DNA. But there is some

443
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: guys out there that are really doing some exciting stuff,

444
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: and I would say it starts for us basing everything

445
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: off our outside zone scheme and then going from there.

446
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: Oh, that is fantastic, coach. You've been generous with your time, man.

447
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

448
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate all you done, Appreciate what you did for

449
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: my school, that unbelievable time he had there at Apple,

450
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: and we're still in today. We're still a championship game. Baby,

451
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: we got a big one. John Clark's not coach of

452
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: the Year. I mean those fans and app man, I

Speaker 2: love them and they're passionate, But.

Speaker 3: They had him buried and dead. Yeah he's undertaking championship.

455
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: Here's the undertaker. He just flipped right back up. Yeah right.

456
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 4: You can't keep those guys, You can't keep us down. Buck.

457
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: He lost two of his best players at the end

458
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: of spring, and it always takes a little time to

459
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: build your team back. Man. I'm really proud of Sean

460
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: and I loved my time at app state doctor Furman.

461
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: Uh just meant so much to me. Doug Gill, it

462
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: was so great. Sherry Everards was great. But man, I

463
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: still have you know, I talked with Sean Clark at

464
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: least two times a week, really proud of him. And man,

465
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: there is no doubt we're saying role nears. Man, let's

466
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: roll them. There we go. There he is.

467
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: Well, he's talking about turning something around.

468
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: You've got the Missouri program rolling right now, coming off

469
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: double digit wins here with one to go. Appreciate your time, coach,

470
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: and let's catch up down the road.

471
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: Sounds good, m I Z.

472
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 4: All right, buck. There he is.

473
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: Eli Drinkwitz, always dropping some some wisdom and some knowledge

474
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: on us. Took some notes there. It was fresh horses

475
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: run fast again. That's the that's my favorite takeaway line

476
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: from this one. But a lot to learn in that conversation.

477
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot to learn.

478
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 5: He's done a really good job, and I think it

479
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 5: took him a few years to kind of settle in

480
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 5: and kind of figure out the landscape in the SEC

481
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 5: and figure out how you wanted to go about it,

482
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: because remember, look, he being a coach for one year

483
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 5: after Stay before he got a job at MISSOO, so

484
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: he's still learning how to do it, and he's talked

485
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 5: about it. He gave a play call in duty so

486
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: he could kind of oversee the entire operation. And man

487
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: is really falling into places for him. This is a

488
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 5: team that is tough. They're rugged. He's done a really

489
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: good job with that offense. But defensively is where Missouri

490
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 5: has always butted their bread and once again their defense

491
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 5: is tough.

492
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: Having watched him, I watched him twice.

493
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 5: I watched him played Georgia early in the year and

494
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 5: then I watched him recently against Florida.

495
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a tough, physical team. They got

496
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: the requisite pieces that we.

497
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: Talk about when it comes to being a team that

498
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 5: can participate in the college football Playoff.

499
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: It's all right there. We'll see if he can keep

500
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: it going. But this team is close.

501
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

502
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 2: It's a good lesson too and making progress and being patient.

503
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: You know, this thing doesn't happen overnight. Took him a

504
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: few years to get over the hump and really turned

505
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: the corner, and that happened this year and looks like

506
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: Missouri football is in great shape going forward. Top ten

507
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: team in the nation right now. Pretty incredible. All right,

508
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: that is going to do it for us. Today a

509
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520
