Hopefully Kilin Debor loses 51 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: to Oklahoma and we'll get him and if not killing 52 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: Dillingham's chomping at the bit to leave his alma mater 53 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 3: in a place he loves more than anything to come 54 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: to Michigan. I'm hoping the thought process will went a 55 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: little more farther than that. If you and we talked 56 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: about this on the bus, if you're a top five program, 57 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 3: you want to sit there and like we hear with 58 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: ed EDDIEO when he's with LSU getting an interim head 59 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 3: coach job, he's meeting somebody at a gas station. There's 60 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: burner phones involved, like we have to cover all bases. 61 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: If you're the ad, if this happens, this happens, you're 62 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: always ready for every circumstance. So if something happens that 63 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: seems catastrophic, got your answers. My thought process in the 64 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 3: Michigan thing is this if sorry, sorry, I just I 65 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: know last week you had this strategy and I was 66 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: bought into it. 67 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: Like there's a strategy out there, and now the strategy 68 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: is just pure hope, like you're just hoping everything's okay. 69 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: Strategies Pio, I'm gonna play. I'm gonna talk as if 70 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: the only game Pan was Kailin de Borg Kenydingham. Because 71 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: if your thought process, if you're Michigan, is those are 72 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: two guys, then it's everybody else, which there's great coaches 73 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: out there that could take this job and be very successful. 74 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: I have no doubt in that. But if thats the 75 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: Michigan thought process, why would you in your mind settle 76 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 3: them for somebody else and just kick the can down 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: the road of the issues you already have, hoping that 78 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: this person's be successful when there's other two you know 79 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: would be successful. So for me, it's Biff Pogi. The 80 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: thought process is twenty twenty six. Say hey, we're gonna 81 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: go a bit for the year. You frame it as 82 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: we have a lot more issues than just to the 83 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: head coaches. Be the person Michigan. It's great for PR 84 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: You get your president in place who knows what happens 85 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: to the ward manual, whether he is the guy he 86 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: is not the guy. Clearly seems like the ball has 87 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: been fumbled with football, But if you look at every 88 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: other sport at Michigan, which is the athletic director, not 89 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: the football director. They're doing a very good job on 90 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: mat and so maybe he stays he doesn't, but foundationally 91 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: Michigan needs a whole lot more than just we have 92 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: a head coach. Now we ever answer, cause the last 93 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: five years have not been ideal other than a national championship. 94 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you would think in a I'm not going 95 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 4: to say a perfect world, within the framework of this situation. 96 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 4: In a perfect world, you knew that the Sharon fire 97 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: firing was coming from a long way away, so you 98 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: had your ducks in a row. They didn't know the 99 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 4: Sharon firing was coming. 100 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 5: There were rumors I heard him, You heard him. 101 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: We talked about him a dozen times during the season, 102 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: but we never knew, like, are we sure they're going 103 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 4: to fire him? As it turns out, because they went 104 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: what nine to three regular season, I don't think they 105 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: were going to fire him until it all hit the 106 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: fan the week after the Ohio State game, and then 107 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: you've got an entire investigation and then they are firing him. 108 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: But the thing about it is, I'm convinced that Michigan 109 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: folks woke up the Sunday of that week, not expecting 110 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 4: to conduct a coaching search. Because of that, they had 111 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: to scramble a plan together. And because they had to 112 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: scramble a plan together, just like Penn State a few 113 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 4: months earlier, there were a certain number of candidates that 114 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 4: would be obvious, yes, don't even need to get approval 115 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: for type guys. In Penn State's case, that was Marcus Freeman, 116 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: that was Kaylin. 117 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: Guys like that. 118 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: And then once they quickly Mike Elko was another one. 119 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 4: Once they realized we're not getting those guys. Okay, those 120 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: are like the peak of the mountain. Then the mountain 121 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 4: gets really really wide, really really quick towards the base. 122 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: More people get involved, more voices, more sign offs, more 123 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 4: checks and balances. So with Michigan, once you realize, like 124 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 4: you said, this happened in like an eight hour span, 125 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: once you realize it's probably not Kaylan. I don't think 126 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: it ever was. But once you firmly realize it's not Kaylin, 127 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 4: then Kenny says, no, I'm staying home. You're kind of 128 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: back to square one. You always like to think somewhere 129 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: behind that curtain, they're just a bunch of mad scientists 130 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: and they're five steps ahead of us, and they've got 131 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 4: a master plan, and if that master plan doesn't work out, 132 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 4: it's got several side roads of contingency plans and will 133 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 4: be good. It's just a bunch of people who have 134 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: very very little idea of what tomorrow may bring trying 135 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: to conduct a coaching search. 136 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the problem. Is based on the reports that 137 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 3: have come out since Sharon got fired, is apparently allegedly 138 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: this was brought to the athletic department in the summertime. 139 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 3: Those are the reports that are being set on Twitter. 140 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 3: Whether it's true or it's not, let's just say it 141 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: is true. If you are the people making decisions at 142 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: the top and you're like, hey, where to conduct this search, 143 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 3: a piece of you, an alarm has to go off 144 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: of if there's validity to this, and the road would 145 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: be to fire him. What is our contingency plan. 146 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 4: That would be if you are the athletic director in 147 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: this case, we don't know that the AD is the 148 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 4: one running. 149 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: The search, right because it seems like there's multiple camps 150 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: buying for the top spot to make the decision at 151 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: the University of Michigan. That's where I sit there and 152 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, Biff is. If Biff's sat here right now, 153 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: he would say, I'm not the long term answer for Michigan. 154 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: What do you take the job? Yes, absolutely, he knows 155 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: he's not the long term answer. Michigan knows and the 156 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: fan base knows. But if you're in the position you 157 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: are in now with the coaching cycle, it's pretty much 158 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: all the way gone through, and the two guys you 159 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 3: thought you had a real shot with that you believed 160 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 3: was of Michigan caliber, which is debatable at this point, 161 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: they're no long on the table. It's like, well, there's 162 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: gonna be a whole new coaching cycle next year. There's 163 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: gonna be job availabilities that we didn't see coming, just 164 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: like we saw this year.

Because 281 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: him being a press conference saying they never offered me 282 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: the job. We knew that, but why not? 283 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was what was funny. 284 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: The whole time he was playing everybody. 285 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 5: I don't do you know why? I don't think he 286 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 5: want to address that. My eyes or watering. Well. So 287 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 5: a lot of people are saying what you just said. 288 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: A lot of people think, oh, man, Kenny and his 289 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: agent just played Michigan. 290 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 5: No they didn't. 291 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: We were like you, now that this is over, you 292 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 4: talk with Kenny several times throughout this, did you not? 293 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: Yes? 294 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 4: I talked with Kenny Dillingham like five or six times 295 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: throughout this. I know Kenny's agent very well. When most 296 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 4: people were speculating that they already had an offer and 297 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 4: they were negotiating with Michigan, he had never even talked 298 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 4: to him. 299 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 5: And I don't mean that. 300 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: Thing where your agent is talking so you can have 301 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 4: plausible deniability. I mean, there was nothing in front of him. 302 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 4: They really were waiting for Kaylin de Boor and Kenny's 303 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 4: just like hanging out there in multiple press conferences at 304 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: Arizona State saying yeah, I haven't talked to Michigan. This 305 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: because he hadn't talked to Michigan, he had no idea. 306 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 4: You assume the offer is gonna come. You don't know 307 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: if the offer is gonna come or not, just because 308 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: the Internet says so, you don't know if the offer's 309 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 4: gonna come. So no one played anybody. He was brutally 310 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 4: honest this whole time. That's why last week on the show, 311 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: I said, hey, I don't think just if he gets 312 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 4: the offer, it's a slam dunk that he's going to 313 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 4: take agree because he actually is truthful when he says 314 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 4: I love Arizona State. Now, if you're if you're living 315 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 4: in Missoula, Montana, and you say, hey, if you could 316 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 4: add the Arizona State job or the Michigan job, which 317 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 4: would you take. Well, that guy's taking Michigan. But that 318 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: guy's not Kenny Dillingham. So it was always going to 319 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 4: be a tough pull in the best of circumstances, and 320 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 4: Michigan search is not being handled in the best of 321 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 4: ways right now. 322 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 3: No, it feels that way. We could get a week 323 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 3: down the road, it could completely change, but it seems 324 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: like to me the deadline has kind of is we're 325 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: at or starting to pass the deadlines where these kids 326 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: are going to get impatient. Yeah, because they've done a 327 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: great job of staying in. I think we've had two 328 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: guys transfer out, both guys you hope for the best 329 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 3: for them. And when these kids do leave a lot 330 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 3: of Michigan fans are going to be mad. But how 331 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: can you blame them if they leave and there's no 332 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 3: structure or nothing around them to where they go. I 333 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 3: feel confident about the growth of my football career hoping 334 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: to meet to the NFL. That's the shitty part. You 335 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: sit there and you just go name a guy, and 336 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: the name you have right now is Biff and you 337 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: can get all the answers you want, and twenty six 338 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: and just hope a lot of these kids that say 339 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 3: they love Biff, that want Biff, Like Marlon Klein is 340 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: the was a captain this year, tight end. He said 341 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 3: to the press, I want Biff PODi to have be 342 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: the head coach of Michigan. So if a captain's saying that, 343 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: and guys are aligned and it feels like dudes are 344 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: knocking at the door of the ad saying, Biff, we're leaving, 345 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: then call them on their bluff. Hire Biff. They're probably 346 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: going to leave. But at the end of the day, man, 347 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 3: it's like you can't expect them all to stay anyway. 348 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty six, new one. IL find your guy 349 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 3: in twenty six. Don't force it right now because it's 350 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 3: too late. 351 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: Do you want Biff? 352 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: My call would be Biff if I mean, I think 353 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 3: if like Kyle Woodingham. 354 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 5: But he asked, He didn't ask who your call would be. 355 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 5: He asked, if do you want Biff. 356 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: The way it feels right now, I think the only 357 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: answer is bet. 358 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 5: But he didn't ask what the only answer is? Do 359 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 5: you want Biff? 360 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: Pogi. 361 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 3: I want Biff Pog for twenty six. I don't think. 362 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 3: I think Biff is not the long term answer at Michigan. 363 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: So you want a short term Do you want a 364 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: short term guy? 365 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: I think you go into an interim head coach situation. 366 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: Gary Muller, similar situation in Michigan gets fired. Who takes 367 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: over his intern head coach for a year, Lloyd Carr. 368 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: Lloyd Carr was there for ten years. 369 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 5: But that's not the game plan. 370 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: Probably a different situation most likely, but it's the closest 371 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: one I can give you right now, right like I'm 372 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: look at the situation in Michigan.

The punter he just drops the ball. 434 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: He drops the ball, did you see Yeah, he drops 435 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: the ball, and then John Matier he can talk about miscommunication. Receiver, 436 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: you want you gifted a Christmas gift to the corner. 437 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: He was taking it to the house, no matter what 438 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: the route was. 439 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 440 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 4: Well, I would say if it was a quick button hook, 441 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: which I'm pretty sure he hand signaled to him and 442 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 4: he picked up on it, it wouldn't have gone to 443 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: the house because it would have had to go through 444 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 4: the receiver's body before to the house. 445 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: I think that Sona was sitting inside. All he was 446 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: doing is sitting in there reading the Quarterbacks Cover two. 447 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, but I still think. So you go back watch 448 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 5: TV copy, which I assume both of you have. 449 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 4: He looks out there, whatever in the world this means 450 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 4: for Oklahoma, he gives it to him. I think he 451 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: got a head nod from the receiver, but I'm not 452 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: sure whatever he told that dude to do, I'm pretty 453 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 4: sure he blindly trusted that he was going to do 454 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: and that kid didn't do it. You're just look, I'm 455 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 4: someone who held a Jammeteer Heisman ticket. I've got a 456 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: dog in the fight here, not anymore, but I did 457 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 4: have a dog in the fight. I am not gonna 458 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 4: believe that John Matier took that ball. Said no receiver 459 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: over there, Saban Brown was good enough. I'm not gonna 460 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 4: believe he did that. If he throws an errant ball 461 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 4: over the middle or something like that. Okay, Now, he 462 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 4: could not have hit a dB in the chest any 463 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 4: more effectively than he did with that ball. So I'm 464 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 4: gonna say miscommunication. 465 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: Oh for sure, miscommunication. 466 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 4: But I just want to ball use But I'm going 467 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 4: to say it's all on the receiver. I just don't 468 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 4: want John Matier to get any of the blank. 469 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 3: Okay, hey, if that's how you want to live, absolutely, 470 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: Team Sport eleven guys got to be in the same page. 471 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 4: He was great on third down in the first half. 472 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 4: I thought that was going to end up being the 473 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 4: stat of the game. 474 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: Well, you said it's. 475 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: Funny because the stat sheet was basically flipped from the 476 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: last game. 477 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: It was not like as bad as Alabama kind of 478 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: had him in the last game. 479 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 3: But the turnover margin all that stuff. 480 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 4: Think about the first quarter and change of this game. 481 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 4: It was like the fifth quarter of the SEC Championship game, 482 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 4: how lifeless Alabama looked, how bad the feel was getting 483 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 4: tilted on them, average starting field position, all that stuff 484 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 4: that we talked about after Obama Georgia and to an 485 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 4: extent Bama OU Round one was the first quarter of 486 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: this game.

The game is just the game. 504 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 4: But this thing people do sometimes when you've given them 505 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: every reason to feel a way, and then you feel 506 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: that way, and then they act differently than the way 507 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 4: that made you feel how you originally felt, and they're like, 508 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: you had the audacity to. 509 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 5: Feel that way. 510 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: Yes, and I'm gonna tell you why. Because you were 511 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 4: terrible in Atlanta last time. I saw you, highly ineffective. 512 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 4: Some people didn't even think you should be in the playoff. 513 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 4: I defended you. I went to bat for you, and 514 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 4: you're giving them all the ammunition that he'll ever need, 515 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 4: Slash Day will ever need. So yeah, I think there 516 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 4: was a little bit of reason to doubt Alabama. They overcame. Okay, 517 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 4: now they get to go against Indiana, and that's a 518 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: game we're gonna cover post Christmas. 519 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 5: But that one we. 520 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 4: Got, we got Miami Ohio State, we got Oregon Texas Tech. 521 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 4: That's the big tense chance to flex and just knock 522 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 4: everything on its on its ear. 523 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: And Indiana can run the football. Indiana's got Fernando Mendoza 524 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: and we talked to But the drop punt. You saw 525 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: the drop punt. 526 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, before that drop punt, he just dropped it. 527 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: He just dropped He literally just. 528 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: Dropped the ball. 529 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: He dropped it well before that on that third and 530 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: three where Manteria kind of makes it happen. He's got 531 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: old buddy down the field, he just drops the ball. 532 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: Yeah like that right there would have been twenty four 533 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: to seven. 534 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. 535 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 3: And Alabama, like their defense is pretty clear now what 536 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 3: they want to do is they want to play zone 537 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 3: and back up and not give up X plays And 538 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 3: they're like, hey, well as you just pick us a 539 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: part up and down the field. Who can do that? 540 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 3: Indiana all day long. That's what they can do. A 541 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 3: very nice way, in a very nice way, and the 542 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: most robotic computer way you could possibly ask for. 543 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna have to find some more like offensive 544 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: just production because again, you look at him in the 545 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: first part of the year until essentially what like November 546 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: mid whenever they started to play South Carolina, like Alabama's 547 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: offense and you go and if you look at box 548 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: scores and everything else, like they're averaging well over like 549 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: twenty first downs per game, and that kind of just 550 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: goes away. Like when you look at their body of 551 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: work at the late part of the year, which is 552 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: where all the doubt crept in. Is something wrong with 553 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: Tie is something going on with the offense. They can 554 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: never really run the football, but they're only averaging around. 555 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: It's like south to fifteen, like south to fifteen first down, 556 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 1: So where they're just they haven't had a whole lot 557 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: of production. You're kind of hanging on explosive plays. Like 558 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,239 Speaker 1: they scored thirty four points in that game, and you 559 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: look everywhere else, whether it's on the box score, everywhere, 560 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: I can't believe that there was what was the total 561 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: in that game or fifteen and a half. Yeah, but 562 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: they had the both teams combined scored like what over 563 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: sixty point fifty eight points? Yeah, yeah, fifty eight points. 564 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: And I'm just it did not feel like a game 565 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: where both teams where you just generate fifty eight points. 566 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it was just explosive plays and then miss 567 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 3: cues on whoever's fault it was. We're gonna for this show, 568 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: We'll say it was the wide receivers, the punter, like 569 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 3: just crazy stuff. 570 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 571 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 4: But if you take if you take so that the 572 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 4: pick six, that's a defensive score, just take it off 573 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 4: the board. Take the three points they got from the 574 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 4: muff punt or muffed handling of the punt off the board. 575 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 4: Even if you shave ten points off that still forty 576 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 4: eight points. It didn't even feel like a game where 577 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 4: forty eight got scored, right, It's pretty crazy. 578 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: And you had a couple missed field goals there at 579 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: the end too, which I know that Buddy was in 580 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: hell mentally missing those field goals. 581 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he had to be dying. What was your 582 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: thought on the Miami Texa and m game? 583 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: Pretty boring. 584 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 5: It was what I thought Bama OU was going to be. 585 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was extremely windy there. It was more windy 586 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 4: than the night before. I think once Miami realized we're 587 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 4: sort of sinking in our teeth a little bit and 588 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 4: Marcel Rea's not running the ball on us, which mobile 589 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 4: quarterbacks don't against Miami. Once they realized that, it was like, 590 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: we're not gonna let Carson Beack lose the game, is 591 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 4: how I felt they handled it. 592 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 5: Fletcher. You know, they got a four quarter approach. 593 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 4: They think that they can bust the game open, and 594 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter on the ground they did, so they 595 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 4: were able to stick to that. But they were able 596 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 4: to stick to that cause defense allowed them to. And 597 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 4: so I'm sitting there the entire time thinking, Okay, rewind 598 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 4: one year ago. Miami's having to score four every game 599 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 4: with cam Ward doing it basically on his own, so 600 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: they have a shot to win because defensively they're just atrocious. 601 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 4: And they made a personnel change and went and got 602 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 4: a new defensive coordinator, Corey Heathman out of Minnesota. They 603 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 4: made a huge deal about it internally, probably went under 604 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: the radar a little bit nationally. Well, now look at 605 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 4: them and look at the ability. Imagine me telling you 606 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 4: a year ago Miami a year from now is gonna 607 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 4: lose cam Ward. I'm not even gonna tell you who 608 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 4: they're going to get a quarterback. They're just gonna portle 609 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 4: in a guy, but there's no way he's going to 610 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: be as good as cam Ward. So you're thinking downgrade there. 611 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 4: Then you're I'm gonna tell you they're going to go 612 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 4: on the road in. 613 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 5: A playoff game. So they are going to make the playoff. 614 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: That's great. 615 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 4: They're gonna go on the road, They're going to score 616 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 4: ten and that's going to be good enough to win 617 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 4: a game. 618 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 5: Would have sounded insane, yep, and yet they did it. 619 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: You bring a great points too, like, imagine if this 620 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: Miami team had cam Ward on it. 621 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 5: Yep. 622 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 4: Yes, imagine cam warden a fraction of this defense last year. 623 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're in it, and they're probably they have a 624 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 3: good chance to win it. 625 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: Actually, outside of just the missfield goals that was that 626 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: was brutal kid man. 627 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: I felt so bad for him, but. 628 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: I was actually enjoying watching the defensive battle. I mean 629 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: Miami and Hm too, but just flying around with their 630 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: hair on fire, tight windows. I'm thinking, who, which quarterback 631 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: is gonna like step up in the spotlight and really, 632 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, neither of you really leaning in the first half. 633 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 3: Marcel Reid's gonna be the one to kind of like 634 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 3: step up and finish, just get a deep shot down 635 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: like he did a play action, scrambled around a little bit, 636 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: had a guy wide open, and the left side of 637 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: the field got that and they stalled out end up 638 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: getting nothing on that. It kind of felt like, if 639 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 3: there's a quarterback that's going to win you the game, 640 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 3: it felt like Marcel Reid and moving Carson back throughout it. 641 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's gonna be plays that. I know Marcel 642 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: Read's watching world just like timing and rhythm. He's gonna 643 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: want plays back where I feel like when you're going 644 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: against Ohio State, Julian will thrive more in some many situation. 645 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to kind of watch the Miami defense 646 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: against the Ohio State offense. 647 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 5: There's one more thing that's happened right now. Landing's dealing 648 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 5: with it. Elcho dealt with it. 649 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 4: It's this thing with the abnormal hiring cycle where your 650 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 4: staff gets new jobs, but then they're still coaching through 651 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 4: the playoffs. 652 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 5: So Elko is losing both of his coordinators. 653 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 4: Colin Klein took the Kansas State job like he's going 654 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: to be a head coach, Well, he's still your offensive coordinator. 655 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: Bateman is leaving as well. So I was talking to 656 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: some folks about the dynamics that that creates in a building, 657 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 4: And on one hand, it's really really weird for prep 658 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 4: because on one hand, you're very happy that your guys 659 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 4: are getting opportunities, but job's not finished, so your most 660 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: important games are coming up, and the attention span is 661 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 4: fragmented from your theoretically your second third most important guys 662 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 4: in your staff. But also here's where Rubbern really meets 663 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 4: the road. If I'm head coach here and you're my 664 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 4: OC and you're my DC, you're getting looks because we're winning. Probably, 665 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: so then you get hired as a head coach. And 666 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 4: you get hired as a head coach. But the way 667 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 4: it works is you don't just leave and say bye. 668 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 4: You leave and you got to put a staff together, 669 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 4: And the first instinct you have is to look right 670 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 4: back in my building. Yep, because I've got a building 671 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 4: full of top level people in nutrition, strength, to condition, 672 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 4: your your own support staff, like, whatever the case may be. 673 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 4: So I go from wishing you well, congratulate you. I 674 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 4: may have even recommended you for the job too. I 675 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 4: don't want you taking my staffers, and so I'm fighting 676 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 4: against you and against you to keep people in my 677 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 4: building who you only got an opportunity to work around 678 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 4: because I gave you an opportunity and you did your job. 679 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 5: So we're even there. 680 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 4: Imagine sitting in a staff room where we're having to 681 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 4: work together to put together game plan to try and 682 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 4: get ready to go win a game, hopefully multiple games, 683 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 4: and I'm also competing against you kind of to keep staffers. 684 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 5: Yeah that's not an easy dynasic. 685 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: All happened quietly too. Yeah it gets allowed. 686 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: Then there's an argument, Yeah, yeah, throws everything football Like NFL, 687 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: if a coach gets hired and he's trying to bring 688 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: guys on, coaches for other teams can block guys leaving 689 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: unless it's like a pay raise or not a pay raise, 690 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: but like you get elevated as far. 691 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: As your role goes. 692 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: Great question, like they can't make a lateral move. 693 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: They can't make a lateral move, but there's multiple time 694 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: like a love floor. When he left, I know Vrabel 695 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: blocked the people from leaving because like, hey, I want 696 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: you guys here, and you're taking a lateral move, so 697 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 3: he would keep those guys in the building. 698 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 5: This will shock you. None of that exists in college. 699 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 3: Oh man, Yeah, football is the best right now.

But it is awesome. 702 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be tough because again, if if you're 703 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: the head coach in the situation, you're doing everything you 704 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: can to pour into the situation that be, which is, hey, 705 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: we gotta we want to win the national title. 706 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: Win the coach will playoff. 707 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: Then whenever I know in my brain if all of 708 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: my prep and all my stuff gets done, once I 709 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: get moments of time where I feel like I would 710 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: be finding whatever the creative ways are, whatever you're obsessing 711 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: about within the team. Now that I'm going to be 712 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: a head coach, I feel like all that free time 713 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: now would be going into whether it be the relationships 714 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: inside the building, hitting people up outside, like hey, what's 715 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: your situation going on with this school? Like I'd be 716 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: putting more toward into what my future is going to 717 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: be at my next school, because now I'm about to 718 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: take my first head coaching job. 719 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 3: And if coaches the you know this in the building, 720 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 3: like what is our actual chances of winning a national championship? 721 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: Like I'm sure there was a like a Texas A 722 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 3: and M saw where their flaws were and then saw 723 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 3: the road and realize our flaws don't match up. I 724 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 3: can't be hidden through these future teams. So once you 725 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 3: can make that decision, you're as an OC or DCU. 726 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: Now as a head coaching job, it's even more of 727 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: a reason to going, Hey, let me focus on what 728 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 3: I got going on here, So maybe I could be 729 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: the head coach here someday or somewhere else. 730 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 4: And the important thing to remember now that we go 731 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 4: into quartifying around is Dan Lanning's dealing with us. 732 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 5: He's losing both coordinators. 733 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 4: So keep that in mind as you start to think 734 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 4: about the Orange Bowl. 735 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 5: How do I think they match up with Texas Tech? 736 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 5: Well that other factors in the room. 737 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 4: I know, no way you can quantify that because it 738 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 4: probably works different program to program, case by case, So 739 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 4: you just never know culture by culture. 740 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: And we're I know, Tash is going to cow where's 741 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: the OC going Kentucky head coach of Kentucky. Yeah, it's like, 742 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: unless you're going to I feel like I'm kind of 743 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: zooming out. Unless you're going to like an SEC or 744 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: Big ten, a really good job where you feel like 745 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot more resource help to where 746 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: people can kind of do some of these things, some 747 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: of these responsibilities that you deem as a priority and 748 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: you got people that can handle it. If you're going 749 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: to like an ACC or a Big twelve school to 750 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: where I feel like there's gonna be more urgency there 751 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: for you to have more responsibility because you don't have 752 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: all the same resources and backing that like the Big ten, 753 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: some of these prominent Big ten and SEC schools have. 754 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, what we interup ace episode to bring you True Classics, 755 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 3: specifically the True Classic Pima T shirts.

Your boy hasn't been in a 758 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 3: weight room and god knows how long.

I just 765 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 3: all I did was look at the app. I learned 766 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 3: that through the show you can just go on the 767 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 3: opposite of googling the scores. I put out my little 768 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 3: goat Jurassic Part A post photo all contexts and just 769 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: waited for the scores to run. Seemed like Tulane got 770 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: a whole lot better. They lost forty one to ten 771 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 3: as opposed to forty five to ten, so a four 772 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: point swing from the last time they played, and Oregon 773 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 3: they refused to cover ahead. Jamil let him get back 774 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 3: into was. 775 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 4: That you could really tell who did and didn't watch 776 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 4: that game by the amount of people who said Oregon 777 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 4: didn't even cover bro. Yeah, they gave up thirty four. 778 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 4: They gave him five hundred yards of offense. And I said, well, 779 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 4: the University of Oregon logo gave up thirty four. The 780 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 4: guys on the field in the second half were very, 781 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 4: very clean Jersey unfamiliar names because they rolled out their 782 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 4: twos and threes in the second half, because you are 783 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 4: so inferior. They treated the second half as like an 784 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 4: FCS tune up game. Yeah, they treated it like the 785 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 4: last preseason, like a preseason game before these guys got 786 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 4: for next year. Yeah, so all due respect, five possession 787 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 4: lead in the first half was the big takeaway. It's 788 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 4: thirty four to three before the half, right, Yeah, that's 789 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 4: the takeaway. 790 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and your two's score sixteen more points. So is 791 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 3: it time that we now just move on from G Five's? 792 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 3: What are we changing the structure in college football? Does 793 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 3: something actually change going in next year? 794 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: I think something's got it, something's gotta change. There's been 795 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 2: so much. 796 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: Chaos that year that I feel like the structure, I 797 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: like to hope to believe like there's gonna be some. 798 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 2: Type of movement. 799 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, some type of restructuring, some type of figuring. Out 800 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: a different process because nobody wants to see those games. No, 801 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, hey, in this structure, 802 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: they deserve that they got in. They were their conference 803 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: championships were right, they were ranked higher than the ACCS once. 804 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: So you know Duke or yeah, Duke doesn't get in. 805 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. So we were saying, is based on the structure 806 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 3: of the collegewable playoff of the teams that I got 807 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 3: in and should have been in. 808 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 4: The playoff based on the current rules, Yeah, as they exist. 809 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 4: Those two teams should have gotten in based on the 810 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 4: rules as they exist. Question is do we change the rules? 811 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: Do I agree with what what he just said? 812 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 5: Well, there's no arguing it. 813 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: It's just fact that the G five teams got in 814 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: because of the current structure. 815 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not about the structure of college football. The 816 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 3: team they got in our we're supposed to get in. 817 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 3: Are you walking me in the summ No, I'm just 818 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 3: asking you if you agree with that or not. 819 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: Do I agree with the current structure? 820 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 3: No, the way the structure was that out the teams 821 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 3: that we're in were supposed to be because of the 822 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 3: current ructure. Now we need to change something. Yeah, I 823 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 3: mean it doesn't matter that we did welcome into something. 824 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 4: I know what you were doing. I didn't know what 825 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 4: you were doing at first, but you just made him 826 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 4: say roll Tide. 827 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 3: That's what you made. Miami should have been in Notre Dame. 828 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 3: We understand why they're out now. I don't agree with the. 829 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 5: Structure something, but you do want to blow the structure up. 830 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 5: YEA want to blow the structure up. 831 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,919 Speaker 3: I think we've all been aligned. Are paths to getting 832 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 3: there were different, but we all believe that the College 833 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 3: Football Playoff needs to be different next year. 834 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 4: Most people think that. Most people believe that very few people. 835 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 4: If we strawhold America college football America, very few people 836 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 4: are saying I like it exactly how it is right now. 837 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 3: One of the biggest things that need to change is 838 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 3: the second round needs to be home home advantage. 839 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would love to see that. 840 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: I would love to see Texas Tech having a home 841 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: game like the teams they got buys, the teams that 842 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: were one through four, like they get to have a 843 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: home game to come right. 844 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 3: Because what we saw last year, the team like Oregon 845 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 3: who had to buy, they were not prepared. They looked 846 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 3: a little rusty going into their game again by Ohio State, Like, 847 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,479 Speaker 3: now we're gonna get a little tune up game against 848 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 3: JMU or missing his tune up game. Now they get 849 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 3: to go in a little more fresh versus these teams 850 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 3: that advice, and if it goes the same way it 851 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 3: went last year, it's like they're in a much better 852 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 3: position play more football. 853 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 4: To go back to your your thing about the G five, 854 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 4: like everyone's spoken their peace on it. Then the result 855 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 4: hits you in the face again the other day and 856 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 4: you got two blowout games. So I warned you last week. 857 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 4: I said, if these games are close, there's gonna be 858 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 4: a ton of bad faith argument out there. Well they 859 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 4: weren't close, so then this is my opinion, you got 860 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 4: more bad faith argument or maybe flawed argument on the 861 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 4: other side. 862 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 5: So I like both of you. Don't really love. 863 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 4: The idea of G five teams just being kind of 864 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,959 Speaker 4: gifted a spot in the playoff doesn't make logical sense 865 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 4: to me, But I know why it does exist. An 866 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 4: antig five or anything like that. But I know why 867 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 4: it exists. But my take on it has never been 868 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 4: they're going to get blown out. That's why they don't 869 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 4: belong in. They happen to get blown out because they're 870 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 4: inferior teams. But whether it was a three point game 871 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 4: or a three hundred point game, I don't really care. 872 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 4: I just I talked to you about last week this 873 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 4: strength of schedule and how I think there's a certain 874 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 4: bar you should have to clear, and most G five 875 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 4: schedules do not allow you to do that. It's not 876 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 4: their fault. That's why I would love a G five playoff. 877 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 4: Probably what's shocked me the most about this whole era 878 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 4: is I thought G five fans would be on board 879 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 4: with the concept of a G five playoff if it 880 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 4: had like a full financial ambilical cord attached to it, 881 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 4: Because you say G five playoff, and the first thought is, oh, 882 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 4: you're choking us off of the big playoff, which means 883 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 4: we're going to die on the vine over here because 884 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 4: we don't have enough money to survive. No, I would 885 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 4: love to just pump money into that thing. 886 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. They see it as everybody wanted to put them 887 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 2: at the kids there. 888 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, which that is It's brutally honest, that is what 889 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 4: you're doing. The reality it is just a tier of 890 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 4: college football that's beneath the like. So I mean it's 891 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 4: so stupid to think Louisiana'm Monroe, Louisiana State played the 892 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 4: same sport. 893 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 5: They don't. 894 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 4: They play the same sport from a rules perspective, but 895 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 4: from a resource perspective, we're on opposite sides of the 896 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 4: Grand Canyon looking at each other. Yeah, okay, so I'm 897 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 4: always a G five playoff guy. But then I get 898 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 4: pushed back on that, so like, I'm okay, I don't. 899 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 4: It's not like I'm hard and fast on that. That's 900 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 4: just how I'd like to see it because it makes 901 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 4: sense to me. But if you're not agreeing on that, 902 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 4: what is your proposal? And I had a lot of 903 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 4: people say, all right, my proposal is G five teams 904 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 4: should only get in if they're ranked in the top twelve. 905 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 5: I'd be totally fine with that. I'd be totally fine 906 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 5: with that. 907 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 4: The question becomes, if you don't give them a guaranteed 908 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 4: seat at the table but there are automatic bids for 909 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 4: other conference champs, do you run the risk of a lawsuit? 910 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 4: And then the third thing that I started to see 911 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 4: some people broach this past weekend for the first time 912 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 4: is what if there is a lawsuit? What if you 913 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 4: just let them, take you to court, lose the battle, 914 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 4: pay the check, and then about it however you want 915 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 4: to anyway. So there are a lot of different thoughts 916 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 4: out there. 917 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're in your opinion what is the fastest 918 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 3: way or the best way to fix it. And it 919 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 3: has to be legally, it doesn't have to be legal. 920 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 4: You got to basically just decide whatever your structure is 921 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 4: going to be, twelve team, sixteen teams, whatever. I think 922 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,439 Speaker 4: they're always going to have one spot. I think they're 923 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 4: always going to have one guaranteed spot at the table. 924 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 4: I assume that that's probably not going anywhere unless and 925 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 4: this is why I go to the G five playoff thing. 926 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 4: If you created a separate playoff and there was the 927 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 4: promise of a huge payday in that playoff, that's the 928 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 4: only thing that I theoretically believe could convince G five 929 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 4: presidents and athletic directors to look at it. 930 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 5: I don't know if they would do it. 931 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 4: But if you put out this not an idea, but 932 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 4: like a fully formed plan, here's the media partner, here 933 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 4: are the major advertisers. Here's the payoff, here's the subsidy. 934 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 4: Here's what you're gonna get if you're in it. Here's 935 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 4: what you're gonna get if you win it. Everyone's going 936 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 4: to get something. You're not gonna die on the vine 937 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 4: over here because you got detached from the main playoff. 938 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 4: Once the money part's taken care of, then you tell 939 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 4: JMU or Tu Lane you're gonna compete in a tournament 940 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 4: where you can actually win. Like right now, Jmu's goal 941 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 4: is get to the playoffs so I can get beheaded. 942 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 4: To Lane's goal, like they're north Star is we can 943 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 4: get into the playoff so we can get annihilated. So 944 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 4: it's never made sense to me, but g five folks, 945 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 4: many of them will look you straight in the eye 946 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 4: and say, Nope, would much rather have that than our 947 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 4: own separate tournament. 948 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, even the level of separation too. 949 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: Like everybody on Jmu's roster or Tu Lane's roster, even 950 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: though they're going in to get beheaded in the Costwall playoffs. 951 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: Basically everybody's goal in that building is play well enough 952 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: to then get picked up by from somebody bigger. 953 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 5: You know what I mean. 954 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we got into the playoff this year, 955 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: can't wait for all of us to come back like 956 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: strengthen this if we get an il. We're coming back 957 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: JMU two lane, We're coming for blood next year. Yeah, 958 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Even if they were to win, 959 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, they probably never win a game, but if 960 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: they won a game. 961 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 3: You can see them winning a game. 962 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: Let's just say they wont a game in a simulation, 963 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: then the mindset for everybody still on that team is 964 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: the exact same. 965 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 5: Can kill them out. 966 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're trying to level up. 967 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: Like every coach is trying to get a bigger job, 968 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: every player is trying to get plucked by somebody from 969 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: the P four. 970 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 4: Now Here's what the intellectually dishonest counter argument would be. Okay, 971 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 4: isn't every kid that may play for TCU trying to 972 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 4: do that for Texas? 973 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 5: Isn't every kid that plays. 974 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 4: At I don't know, like Arkansas trying to do that 975 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,760 Speaker 4: for Alabama? Like people will say that the answer is yes. 976 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 4: The difference is you've got to at some point pool 977 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 4: teams based on some kind of comparability. The comparability is resource. 978 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 4: That's just like when people say, well, yeah JMU got 979 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 4: blown out against Oregon, but Tennessee got blown out against 980 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 4: Ohio State last year. Does that mean Tennessee doesn't belong 981 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 4: in the playoff, which is one reason I don't track 982 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 4: in that argument because they can get you on that. No, 983 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 4: it doesn't mean that. Because Tennessee has comparable resources to 984 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 4: Ohio State, they have athletes that can compete on the 985 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 4: field with Ohio State. Like, yes, they got blown out 986 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 4: in that game. The difference is if you play that 987 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 4: game one hundred times, there's some very competitive games. There's 988 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 4: some Tennessee wins in there, believe it or not. There 989 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 4: are no JMU wins over Oregon. And it's not because 990 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 4: you don't believe in them or think they should have 991 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 4: a shot. It's because there is a certain facet like 992 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 4: there's a certain level in football where it's a non starter. 993 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 4: Like it's I call it the freeze point. A lot 994 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 4: of times water if it's thirty three degrees or one 995 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 4: hundred and three degrees will not freeze. It has to 996 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 4: be thirty two point four or lower thirty two six, 997 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 4: whatever it is before it freezes. Those rosters don't meet 998 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,439 Speaker 4: the freeze point, they don't even get close to meeting 999 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 4: the freeze point. And so like I just think that 1000 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 4: if you're looking at an Arkansas Alabama versus a jmu Organ, 1001 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 4: you're intellectually dishonest if you're making that argument, because even 1002 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 4: if you're making the argument, you know, Arkansas Alabama versus 1003 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 4: JMU Organ are totally different classifications of quote unquote separation. 1004 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 4: You got to classify teams and group teams. At some point, 1005 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 4: there's going to be a worst and a best in 1006 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 4: any bubble. The difference is if the bubble's thirty teams 1007 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 4: deep versus one hundred and thirty teams deep, that first 1008 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 4: bubble makes a lot more sense to me. 1009 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 5: Okay, which jacket does notre dame fall in? 1010 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 2: Which tournament did they get in? 1011 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 5: I would put them in the head bubble. 1012 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 4: I would just make them earn their way in like 1013 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 4: everyone else, which they didn't this last time. 1014 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 5: But they got a new Uh we wrote a new 1015 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 5: law for them right to get in. Yeah. 1016 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 3: No, that's a great law. It's a great law. 1017 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 5: It's interesting. 1018 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 2: Okay, everybody that played. 1019 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's play the game where there's a G five. 1020 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 3: There's a G five tournament every single year. Ye let's 1021 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 3: say one school will just say JMU or two lane 1022 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 3: win that tournament like five or eight out of ten. 1023 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 4: Years, just like the FCS in North Dakota State. 1024 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 3: Right, and they're just over and over, always crushing it. 1025 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 3: And then you have like the lower SEC Big ten 1026 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 3: schools that are constantly at the bottle over and over again. 1027 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 3: Is there a. 1028 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 5: Relegation promotion and relegation? 1029 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 3: Is there is there a world that you would want 1030 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 3: to live in? 1031 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you what else I would love to do. 1032 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 4: I would love that to exist. I would also love 1033 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 4: I think they do this in European soccer. I know 1034 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 4: nothing about European soccer. They do promotion relegation. What they 1035 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 4: also do is pay I forget what the term is. 1036 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 5: But it's a fee. 1037 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 4: Basically, if you're JMU and I'm Oregon and I take 1038 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 4: five of your players, I am paying a penalty to 1039 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,760 Speaker 4: you to take those players from you, which I've always 1040 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 4: thought should exist. Right now, it's a joke what P 1041 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 4: four does to the G five, But it's also a 1042 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 4: joke what the G five does to FCS. It's not 1043 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 4: like this is a this is a one way street 1044 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 4: here like the G five. 1045 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 5: I was talking to a guy. 1046 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 4: From Mercer the other day, which is just a FCS 1047 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 4: school in Macon, Georgia, but they're pretty good. 1048 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 5: They go play the. 1049 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 4: Big boys every year, take their check, take their beating. 1050 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 4: He laid out their roster and which players have been 1051 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 4: poached and what they're being offered. And it's like Georgia 1052 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 4: State came and got this kid, Troy came and got 1053 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 4: these kids, UAB came and got these kids. 1054 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 5: So the G five the same thing. 1055 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 4: It's just much less talked about because no one cares 1056 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 4: about the FCS relative to talking about P four G five. 1057 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 4: I would love for there to be a restitution structure 1058 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 4: anytime you're taking talent, because that's really what in the 1059 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 4: long run, could reinvest in those programs and help them 1060 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,839 Speaker 4: level up to where eventually they're consistently good, they can 1061 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 4: retain their players, and then if they're good enough, they 1062 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 4: can be promoted up a level. And if you suck 1063 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 4: at that upper level, you're not taking advantage of your resources. 1064 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 4: You could fall down the ladder. Now I just said 1065 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 4: that in like two minutes. That's very easy. You got 1066 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 4: so many spider webs to untangle there with conference affiliation, 1067 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 4: not to name the other few, to where yeah, it's 1068 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 4: very difficult to make that a rule or make that 1069 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 4: the new structure. 1070 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 5: But we're just playing perfect Unicorn world here. 1071 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, we got a blank we got a we 1072 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 2: got a blank sheet.

I know, 1090 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: obviously I spout about the Notre Dame stuff, but imagine 1091 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: Notre Dame BYU or Vaney that would have been in 1092 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: the playoff or in some of these games this year. 1093 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like tuned in, excited to see what's what's 1094 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,240 Speaker 2: gonna go down. 1095 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 3: Because they're watching real conferences, real independence that say hey, 1096 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 3: we're just as big as the big dogs. We're gonna 1097 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 3: go prove ourselves because everybody wants to see the power forwards, 1098 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 3: like who is the best at the end of this year. 1099 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna have the conversations wherever it was the national championship, whatever, 1100 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 3: if it's Big ten SEC, We're all gonna sit there 1101 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 3: and be like, this is the best conference.

You're 1103 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 3: not getting that without getting like Vanderbilt to go to Oregon, 1104 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 3: Like that would have been a game I think we 1105 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 3: all tuned into. Hell, we even maybe go to because 1106 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 3: we have multiple dogs in that fight. And then we 1107 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 3: make the trip to Eugene over going to a M Miami, right, 1108 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 3: because you're right, there was two games this weekend. Everything 1109 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 3: else was, Hey, congratulations. 1110 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: If there happened to be that G five team that 1111 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: is ranked in the top fifteen, Top twelve Cincinnati from 1112 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: five years ago, Yeah, like you're still you'd be curious cycle. 1113 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: Let's see if they can they can rock with the 1114 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,280 Speaker 1: big dogs. Yeah, if they do, it's much more entertaining 1115 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: and fun to watch. It's just we all knew how 1116 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 1: these games were going to go down. 1117 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 2: Over the world. 1118 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 4: It's always obvious when AG five team actually belongs in 1119 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 4: the playoff. There have been several Bois's, a couple of ucfs, 1120 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 4: that Cincinnati team from just a few years back before 1121 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 4: they joined the Big Twelve. Those teams Cincinnati made the 1122 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 4: four team playoff, and I remember like vividly saying, yeah, 1123 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 4: I think they belong in. I didn't push back on it. 1124 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 4: It's not like you're blanketly anti G five. It's you 1125 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 4: want deserving teams. 1126 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 5: In the playoffs. 1127 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 4: The other thing is I don't believe in comparing basketball 1128 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 4: to football at all. But for the people who do 1129 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 4: go down that road of comparing the NCAA tournament and 1130 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 4: March Madness to the college football playoff, and they're like this, man, 1131 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 4: we want to. 1132 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 5: Cinderell lah blah blah blah. 1133 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 4: I enjoy watching like a George Mason go up against 1134 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 4: Duke in the first round. Point spread maybe twenty four 1135 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 4: and a half. But there is something in the back 1136 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 4: of my mind that tells me this could happen. It's unlikely, 1137 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 4: but it could happen. And also I enjoy watching the 1138 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 4: kids have that experience. There is nothing fun to me 1139 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 4: about watching JMU or Tulane be on the same field 1140 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 4: in any kind of competitive playoff environment with legit like 1141 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 4: top ten caliber Big ten and SEC teams. And the 1142 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 4: other dirty secret from the past. Two dirty secrets from 1143 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 4: the past. The first dirty secret is most of the 1144 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 4: great G five teams people use in these arguments to 1145 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,720 Speaker 4: prop up the G five will never exist again because 1146 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 4: all the talent got rated in the modern acte number two. 1147 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 4: And this is one that gets pushed back, but I 1148 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 4: don't care because I know it's true. Most of the 1149 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 4: examples people use Utah, Alabama, UCF, Auburn, whatever the case 1150 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 4: may be. It was a G five team playing their 1151 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 4: Super Bowl against some SEC or Big ten team that 1152 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 4: missed out on their goal, and now they're playing a 1153 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 4: consolation bowl game, so you got disproportionate motivation and buy 1154 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 4: in this last weekend is actually what it looks like 1155 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 4: when a G five inferior opponent gets the full focus 1156 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 4: of a power program. That's what that actually looks like 1157 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 4: I had an Auburn kid in twenty seventeen. They beat 1158 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 4: Alabama and Georgia. Then they go to the SEC championship game, 1159 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 4: Kerrie and Johnson's hurt. They get beat by Georgia, and 1160 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 4: they go from thinking they're going to go to the 1161 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 4: playoff or whatever win the SEC to they're going to 1162 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 4: play in the Peach Bowl against UCF.

JP and are having a good conversation, 1180 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 3: and I'm just thinking, the one time Will doesn't come 1181 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,839 Speaker 3: with us, it all falls apart. It's where I'm gonna 1182 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 3: have to go and tell club what happened, tell ESPN 1183 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 3: what happened. And I'm gonna have to get on the 1184 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 3: phone with the Will and be like, this is what happened, 1185 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 3: and it sucked. 1186 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: I see my boys just in the top road like 1187 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 1: the wind blow and eating popcorn. And then I go 1188 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: to Pet's timeline and he's in the backstage betting the dog. 1189 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 5: He bet it up. 1190 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't get the red carpet rolled out. 1191 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 5: He's you know what, we know. 1192 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 3: It's good for us with the boys though, is this 1193 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,879 Speaker 3: has been twenty twenty five has been an incredible year 1194 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 3: for us. It's been awesome. I mean our relationship, the 1195 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 3: locker room, the traveling, all the things doing ESPN.
