Speaker 3: Tap them off the field to night.

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: It's not the sage of the dog in the fight.

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,519

Speaker 2: I'm stucky enjoining me once again our Colin Wilson and

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: our own college football insider Prett McMurphy. I'm assuming you

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: listened to part one. We're gonna go even deeper, a

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: little deeper, kind of kept it broad, and we have

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: our conference with eleven conference preview episodes coming up, and

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: then we'll have actually, you know, our recap episode as

19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: well included in there, and it'll be week zero. We

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: have a lot to get to and today let's just

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: keep it rolling. Colin, I'm gonna start with you here

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: just to give you your first initial thoughts. Thirty coaching changes.

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: So there's thirty new head coaches, some of them like

24
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: took over the Bowl Lasher, but there's thirty new head coaches.

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: After the fact that we saw the legend Bill Clark

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: have to step down due to back issues. Could argue

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: top five higher head coaching higher the past twenty years

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: in college football given what he did taken that program

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: from the restart to all the success they've had, and

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: he's in against the spread monster. They've had, coordinators are

31
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: off its, cordators ticking over, they have cordinaiors that have

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: been there for a while. Some coaching stability TVD on

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: how that impacts the UAV defense, which was finished in

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: the top twenty I think in five straight yeast statistically.

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: A two part question, thoughts on your boy Bill Clark

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: and what stands out as far as the most important

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: and most underrated coaching head coaching changes going into the season.

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Well, first off, I would like to give

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: a moment of silence for Bill Clark Cashtar twenty to

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: one UAB ticket to win Conference USA a couple of

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: years ago. And I think really when people say the

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: coordinators got they've been there forever. They know it listen up,

43
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Clemson mans. You can't replicate what Bill Clark does because

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: he's the one that pointed out the Middle Tennessee State

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: or Middle Tennessee whatever they're being called these days, they

46
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: were lined up incorrectly that they needed to be called

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: for a flag. There was a twelfth man on the field,

48
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: and because of that penalty that happened on a fourth down,

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 3: UAB won the conference championship. Bill Clark's attention to detail

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: was better than anybody, and he covered the spread better

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: than anybody since UAB was resurrected from the dead. So

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: pour one out for him. But if we're going to

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: talk about coaching HighRes that you know, I absolutely love,

54
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: and coaching hours that I think they're you know, maybe

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: a little bit overrated. I mean I love Sunny Do's

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 3: at TCU, I think they needed a change a long

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: time ago. In front of Gary Patterson, the players weren't responding,

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: he wasn't connecting, The defense had completely given up. They

59
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: fell in the bottom ten and finishing drive success rate.

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: Everything from havoc the four two five that he was running,

61
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: nothing was going right there. It was time for a

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: team seem.

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: To have cracked that craft to Patterson Defense recently and

64
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: it see it seems like things have gotten stale. They

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: needed a change there. I agree, I think it was

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: I think it was con Yeah.

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Sunny Dikes I think was a fantastic hire there.

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: And then you know, once we get past that, if

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 3: there's if there's one that I think was possibly completely overrated. Uh,

70
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: there is still a coach out there that I will

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: not name, but I think he's got his hands full

72
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: of the University of Florida.

73
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: Goodness gracious, Billy Napier scared money, don't make money.

74
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: You know, a little bit in over his head. We'll

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: see what he can pull off. I am not a

76
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: fan of the Gators going into this season.

77
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: How much money are you gonna have on Utah Week

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: one against Florida.

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: There's already a few dimes. There may be more, It

80
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: depends on where number goes.

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Obviously, have you the highlights of Brian Kelly going to LSU,

82
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: Christa Ball going to Miami, But there's thirty overall, any

83
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: that you really think our home runs or any that

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: are maybe underrated or overrated higher so that you want

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: to talk about.

86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: A number of reporters. We kind of have an inside joke.

87
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: We will never call anybody a home run higher anymore,

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: because literally everyone said Scott Frost was a home run higher,

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: and he's he's on his deathbed trying to trying to

90
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: get to bowl games so he doesn't get fired. Colin

91
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: talked about Sunny Dyke's I love that. I love what

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: he's going to do there. I like Joe moorehead it

93
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: accrid been a Power five head coach's an offensive coordinator

94
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: at Oregon. He steps down of the MAC. I think

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: he'll do really well there. Also Jay Norvell switching teams

96
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: within the same conference. That happens a lot in the SEC,

97
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: usually not anywhere else. He goes from Nevada to Colorado State.

98
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: I think they're they're undervalued. You mentioned Brian Kelly, you know,

99
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and racket or whatever you want to do.

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I think Brian Kelly will win a national title at LSU.

101
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I think he's that good of a coach. The narrative was, oh,

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy. Everybody doesn't like him. It doesn't matter.

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: The guy can coach. We saw what happened in Notre

104
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. Without Brian Kelly. They don't

105
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: lose that game. If Brian Kelly is the coach with

106
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: the talent, he will have an LSU. They will turn

107
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: that program around here. Then he can change his accent.

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: And those are the guys I like, you know, I really,

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm really fascinated to see what Dan Lanning does at Oregon.

110
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Great young coach, first time head coach. That's gonna be tough.

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: But he was incredible at Georgia. Obviously had a lot

112
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: of talent. So those are some of the guys that

113
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm kind of keeping an eye.

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: Interesting that he went with Tosh Lapois's defensive coordinator there

115
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: at Oregon, because that is the guy that Saban was

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: trying to give away for pennies on the dollar. So

117
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: we'll see how that works out for the defense there.

118
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: I didn't know we were allowed to mention Marcus Freeman,

119
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 3: I think because he was mentioned as the coach before

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: they played.

121
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: The bowl game.

122
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: It's not that Cincinnati went down at all after Marcus

123
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: Freeman left, and I'm not sure Notre Dame's defense was

124
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: that much improved with Marcus Freeman there last year after

125
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: the Mike Elko years. So you know, if you want

126
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: to queue up year two of calling bagging against Notre Dame.

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm just not sold on Marcus Freeman, but forever I

128
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: have not been sold on Tommy Reese's offense, which is

129
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: the most conservative in the nation.

130
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 2: Yeah. I disagree with you on Freeman from just a

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: schematic point of view, but your your points are well taken, Brad.

132
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: I completely agree with you. The coach that i'd circled,

133
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: Jerry Kill I'd circled in New Mexico State, one of

134
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: the toughest jobs in the country, but I think that

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: they needed a coach like him to make them a

136
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: little more competitive. Will bring in some dis glennon some structure.

137
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: I don't know how many wins it will translate to,

138
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: but I agree with Morehead. The MAC is where you

139
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: can see a coaching change have a dramatic impact in

140
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: one year to the next. We've seen it at Central

141
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: Michigan recently when they won the conference. The transfers that

142
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 2: Akron bought in, They're gonna have a real offense now.

143
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: So I think Morehead that was the first one that

144
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: I circled. By the way, you mentioned Norval the mountain.

145
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: What is going on in the mountain If you look

146
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: the mountain west I cannot wait to do that episode.

147
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the quarterbacks are like the Hawaii's quarterback,

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: the Washington State transfer, the Wyoming quarterback transfer the Utah State.

149
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: The Utah State quarterback transferred to Wyoming. New Mexico is

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: a Kansas quarterback. Colorida State is Nevada. Like a Nevada quarterback.

151
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: San Diego said is Braxton Burmeister. He's still around like

152
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: his tenth year. Remember losing money's West.

153
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: Coast, the East Coast back to the West coast.

154
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: He was he used to back up to Justin Herbert.

155
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: He got hurt Bermarstick and I remember losing money on him.

156
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: He's a San Diego State quarterback, an absolute mess. UNLV

157
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: as a Tennessee transfer. It's hilarious in the Mount West.

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: And Nevada man might be in the worst situation because

159
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: they're going through a scheme change on both sides of

160
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: the ball with Ken Wills and coming in there.

161
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: And lost everything. You know, you lose a quarterback to

162
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: the NFL all the receivers. Novel took the staff and

163
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: so many players to Colorado State. Just a completely depleted

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: team outside of Don Peterson on the defense, brad Any

165
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: thoughts on crystal Ball to Miami. You love it? Wait,

166
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: and so I do.

167
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean I picked him and you look at the

168
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: coaches he's brought on board. You know, new coordinators Josh Gaddis,

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Steele, also Charlie Strong. You know, he's a position coach.

170
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Crystal Ball. I reported last week they've gotten rid of

171
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: the turnover chain.

172
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: We're just focused on other stuff. Fundamentals, toughness, finish this.

173
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: This is going to be a team about substance. It's

174
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: not going to be flash and Dash was an offensive

175
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: line coach at Alabama before he went to Oregon. This

176
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a tough, physical team, and I

177
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: think in the ACC that's something that can have success.

178
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: Pat and Nordoozy showed that at pitt. I think christ

179
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: of All that attitude comes into Miami. They've always had

180
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. Now maybe they have a little

181
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: bit better work ethic, and that's that's why I'm so

182
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: high on them. I believe you're not high on Christaball

183
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: for maybe some of his gay management decisions in the past,

184
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: but as far as getting his guys ready to go,

185
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: Miami is jacked up. And he told me, you know,

186
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: I've talked to him a number of times in the

187
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: past few months. He has jacked up about this season.

188
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: He's very confident in his offensive line and Tyler Van

189
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: Dyke one of the better, I think underrated quarterbacks in

190
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: the country. For the Hurricanes, just.

191
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: Take a fucking knee cryst of all, I'm still mad

192
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: about that game.

193
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: In twenty eighteen, number of times Josh Gaddis was mentioned

194
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: that Michigan media days today zero times. He will not

195
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: be missed in ann Arbor whatsoever.

196
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how this will translate to windsor not.

197
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: I like to hire McIntire fiu. He's a turnaround artist.

198
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: I think Cole you know, he's gotten some kids who

199
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: wanted to come back to Miami. Down there. Their roster

200
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: is that's a joke. I was trying to tower rate them.

201
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: They do a really easy schedule, a bit like Brian

202
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: at home, Yukon at home, and their wind total still three.

203
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: Their whole team is just like everyone left the team.

204
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: They have a duke quarterback, Syracuse transfers, and then a

205
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: ton of like non FBS transit. They're all going to start.

206
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: They're going to be bad. But I think you know

207
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: in a couple of years, FIU will be better for

208
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: that hire.

209
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: If you want to end on something bad stuck. How

210
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: bad is it that Clay Hilton his pull on the

211
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: triple out of Georgia Southern. What what is that going

212
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: to be?

213
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: It's very difficult to do, h Your whole team is

214
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: recruited and is practice and playing one certain style. I

215
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: mean down to you don't play the tight end right

216
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: your offensive line. You recruit a certain way. They also

217
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: have different splits. You don't really have receivers that that

218
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: participate a lot. Now, Georgia Southern didn't have a pure,

219
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: you know, army option based attack, but they were triple

220
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: you know spread his triple option. It's a tough transition.

221
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: Clay Hilton. Also, while Brett swears nice guy and I'm

222
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: sure he hates covering spreads, could be a rough year.

223
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: We've seen Georgia Tech. We've seen Georgia Tech have trouble

224
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: making that transition. Another other team down in Georgia that

225
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: might struggle. I'll do two more coaching changes and I'll

226
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on Bratt. I'll ask you somewhere for

227
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: close to your heart and or maybe hate, I should say, Oklahoma, Venables,

228
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: gread oc Higher, Dylan Gabriel probably gonna put up some

229
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: monster numbers there. Any thoughts on the changes that have

230
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: occurred at Oklahoma and if you want to transition that

231
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: we're parlay that into USC as well. Any thoughts there

232
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: on what happened in the off season. It's been just

233
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: like you would expect. The fire hose is fully inserted

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: in my mouth here and we've been blowing and going and.

235
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: So I'm not blowing and I'm not going. But here's

236
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: the thing. Oklahoma loved Lincoln Riley. They loved him, loved him,

237
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: loved him until the second they found out he was

238
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: going to USC. And then suddenly there's, oh wait.

239
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: Hate him. By the way, I have fans and I

240
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: have friends and all that.

241
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I think he is my family. They're big OU fans.

242
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: My sister was the roughneck queen when she was at

243
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: school at OU. She was on the back of the

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: Sooner schooner.

245
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: And it's funny. Then he left.

246
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's this horrible coach and he never did enough

247
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: and they hung a trail sign, you know, on campus.

248
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: I talked to OU fans, like, do you realize this

249
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: happens at every at all one hundred and thirty other schools,

250
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: it just happened, hasn't happened at Oklahoma in the past

251
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: eighty years. Venables is a very very good, if not

252
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: the best, one of the best defensive coordinators. I don't

253
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: know whether it's or anyone else. A first time head

254
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: coach at a Power five school. That's going to be

255
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: a transition, whether you like it or not. I think

256
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for Oklahoma to live up to

257
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: the standard that they had under buff students and Lincoln Riley.

258
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma's gonna step back a little bit. Doesn't

259
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: either're going six and six. I don't think they're going

260
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: to make the College Football Playoff. I don't think anybody

261
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve's gonna make it. Eventually, Oklahoma will

262
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: be successful. I just think this first year they could struggle.

263
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: What Lincoln Riley's done in US City obviously has never

264
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: been done before. More than half of his starting lineup

265
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: will be transfers from other schools, and I kind of.

266
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: All missed too, by the way. Yeah, but I.

267
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Kind of compare that to like an all star lineup

268
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: or something like when you're winning and things are going great,

269
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: everybody's happy. But then once there's some adversity, how does

270
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: that impact the team? The team has not gone through

271
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: two days together, they haven't been together for two or

272
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: three years. They don't really know each other. Do they

273
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: start pointing fingers? Do they start blaming other people? Colin Is,

274
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, had numerous conversations with me about that. The

275
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: struggles that you think Caleb Williams is going to have there,

276
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: that Jordan Adison is not going to see as many

277
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: balls that he saw a pit because that's not Caleb Williams' strength.

278
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: How will that impact the USC once they face some adversity.

279
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think either team is going to get

280
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: to the playoff. Ultimately, Lincoln Riley will get USC into

281
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: the college football playoff before Vannables get you into the playoff.

282
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: They're both going to struggle because I think the expectations

283
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: for Lincoln Riley are You're going to get USC to

284
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: the playoff immediately. That's not going to happen. I think

285
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: go Use a couple of years away from getting back

286
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: into the playoff with Venables. But again, it's a lesser

287
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: degree of difficulty if you will for Venables and OUs,

288
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: so maybe he can get there this year, next.

289
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: Year, I don't know. Maybe he's the tenth and the

290
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: ninth or tenth odds I haven't checked. But with Oklahoma,

291
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: with Levy going there and Gabriel and Gabriel had a

292
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: monster year under Levy, you see f in twenty nineteen,

293
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: I just don't know how good Oklahoma's going to be.

294
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: But you've got to assume Gabriel these stays health is

295
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: going to put up some monster numbers there.

296
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: Clemson fans should listen to this, but bren Vinnables is

297
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: a one of a kind. Nobody can match the energy

298
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: that this guy has. People around Norman right now are

299
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: just shocked at this. He's coming in and he wants

300
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: the tough. No one will say the words soft, but

301
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: the ring the Lincoln Riley era in Norman was soft.

302
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: Grinch wasn't getting it done on defense. They were essentially

303
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: statues and everybody ran by him and they never won

304
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: a college football playoff game. Bren Vinables can make them tough,

305
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: and he's installing not just new schemes on both sides

306
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: of the ball, but a different culture and that is

307
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: going to take time, which is why the win total

308
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: of nine is probably perfect on spot. I'd go under

309
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: nine and a half some of those that are out there.

310
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: But Vinibles has also never coached a defense where his

311
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator is snapping the ball every nineteen seconds. Is

312
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: Jeff Levy going to take his foot off the gas

313
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: a little bit? I'm sure that Dylan Gabriel is going

314
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: to be much more improved than he was, say in

315
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: nineteen twenty and twenty one, because that first season that

316
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: he had with Jeff Levy, he was great. But just

317
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: take a step back here. Dylan Gabriel still made interceptions,

318
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: he still made really bad mistakes, and he's still had

319
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: a lot of turnover worthy plays.

320
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: Now.

321
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: He had more big time throws when Levy was there.

322
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: It was also his freshman season. So we'll see what's

323
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: going to happen here. But you know, I'm not going

324
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: to have a meltdown when Dylan Gabriel throws an interception

325
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: in the red zone, because it's going to happen. That's

326
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: just the kind of player.

327
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: He is.

328
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: Not at the Adrian Martinez level, but that's just the

329
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: kind of quarterback that he is. So I wouldn't expect

330
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: too much out of this ou. It's a new culture,

331
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: it's new schemes, and how is Vinable's going to call

332
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 3: a defense with an offensive coordinator that snapped the balls,

333
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: you know, as faster to anybody in the FBS. So

334
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: a lot of things to watch for there, Norman, When.

335
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: Is Oklahoma going to get its secondary figured out? That's allid.

336
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: They don't get kids that are highly cruited, They never translit.

337
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: When's the last time Oklahoma had a defensive back taken

338
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: in the first round of the NFL Draft. That's a

339
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: trivia question. I don't Roy Williams twenty years ago. I

340
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: mean seriously, maybe in the second round too. Maybe the

341
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: past defense gonna improve because every year it's like these

342
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: they just can't find corners and they get they get

343
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: highly recruited kids that just I don't know, good stuff

344
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: on the coaching. Head coaching changes, but there's also a

345
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: lot more change than just the head coaches changing. That's

346
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: what the coordinators want to talk Some impact coordinators, you know,

347
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: either someone leaving or coming. I'm gonna start with Jim

348
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: Knowles going to Ohio State most obvious one. I think

349
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: it's gonna have the biggest impact. Now if you look

350
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: at Jim Knowles's history, he was. I think it was.

351
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: He was a head coach in the IVY League too,

352
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: and a couple stops defensive coordinator. His year ones were

353
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: never great Western Michigan. If you look, they dropped from

354
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: like fifth. I mean it was after the best year

355
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: in school history. They didn't always improve your one. It's

356
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: not easy to fix the defense. But he has the talent.

357
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: Here is the thing. And they're going from a guy

358
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: who Kerry Coombs, who had no business being a defensive

359
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: quarter at any team yet alone Ohio State. He's he's

360
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: a special team's quarter at Cincinnati. Now. So you go

361
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: from Kerry Coombs to Jim Knowles and the town is there.

362
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: On the defensive line, you have some experience in the

363
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: back end. Brings a good defensive back with him as

364
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: well from Stillwater. And I look at it similar to

365
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: what and this is what I think makes Ohio State

366
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: of legit national title contender. You know, the offense is

367
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: going to be a problem, but their defense will now

368
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: just have structure organization, which is what they needed. They

369
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: didn't have any of that under Kombs. Go back to

370
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Ohio State defense disaster. If you look at

371
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: some of the advanced metrics, they were around forty fifth

372
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: in the country, same place where they finished last year. Obviously,

373
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 2: it's a justin for schedule and all that. What did

374
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: the twenty nineteen who do they hires defensive coordinator Jeff

375
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: Hafley from the NFL comes in top five defense that year.

376
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: Can they make the same leap? I don't know. They

377
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: don't need to be top five, just need to be

378
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: top twenty, and I think Knowles can do that. And

379
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: if they go top five, they're gonna give Bama run

380
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: in the national title. And I think that's what's gonna

381
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: be the national title. So I think that's huge. I

382
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: think what we're gonna watch sea on board. The coordinators

383
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: where at Clemson. I'll give you a really underrated one,

384
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: Tulane Sabata, who comes in from I forget the school,

385
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: it's where Fritz was Central Missouri. I love this guy

386
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: and I went back. I was looking at some of

387
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: the things that Central Missouri was doing, and I think

388
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: that he can protect Pratt. I bring a lot of explosiveness.

389
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: I think they averaged ten ten and a half yards

390
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: per attempt last year. Burrow and LSU were That's what

391
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: Burrow and lsu level. I love some of the things

392
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: that I think that they're gonna be able to do.

393
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: He's gonna be able to do with a very experienced

394
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: two lane roster, and these two guys are very familiar

395
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: with each other. I don't think there's gonna be any

396
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: continuity issues. Love. I think Tulane gets a bump for

397
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: that coordinator Higher way off the beat off the Radarth,

398
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: But I think and I think that's gonna do some

399
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: good for the two lane offense. Colin I'll start with you.

400
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Noles Hires the reason I lined up and

401
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: was able to throw money down twelve months before the

402
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 3: National Championship was played. He resolves a big, long term

403
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: issue that House States had on defense. I think I'm

404
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: gonna play a little game of hot and cold with

405
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: some of these coordinators because some of these are bad

406
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: Hires and some of these are great highers. A bad

407
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: Higher Colorado went out and got Mike's Handford Junior as

408
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator. From his days of Notre Dame. You

409
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: name any place that he's been, he has made the

410
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 3: offense worse. Carl Durell, Colorado has beaten odd makers. I

411
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: think that's gonna come to an end with Mike Sandford

412
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: Junior as the offensive coordinator. The best defensive coordinator in

413
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: the nation that's not being talked about but will be

414
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: talked about is Joseph Gillespie. He was a Tulsa He

415
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 3: was the reason Zavan Collins became a household name, and

416
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: Sunny Dykes told Brett and I face to face, the

417
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 3: reason I went out and plucked this guy is because

418
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: I was at SMU and I could not stand going

419
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 3: up against him. He's the number one.

420
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: Guy I called.

421
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: That's the only guy that I wanted, and he's the

422
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: best fensiupporter of the nation.

423
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: Great call, I have them. My underrated was Tulane and

424
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: my biggest loss that I had circled was Tulsa. And

425
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: I'm most likely win total over Tulsa and hopefully Tulane

426
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: can make a field goal a twenty yard field goal

427
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 2: this year and beat Tulsa. God that game was horrendous, uh,

428
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 2: but I completely with you, A huge loss for Tulsa.

429
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: Let's get to a name that's going to make you

430
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: more cringe worthy, maybe make you fall out of your chair.

431
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: Indiana has hired Walt Bell as their offensive coranter from UMass.

432
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: Your boy, your boy, honor.

433
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: Your boy more than mine. Conter Beslac transfers from Missouri

434
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: goes to Indiana to compete for the quarterback position in

435
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: conjunction with Walt Bell calling the plays. I don't think

436
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: that's a combination that that's that is.

437
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: Going to work.

438
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: So uh look out there. Callin Klein is the new

439
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: offensive corridor optimist Kleine. If everybody remembers said from Kansas,

440
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: he is now going to be called place for coach

441
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: k there. And I believe in Ducewan. I believe if

442
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: Colin Klein can teach Adrian Martinez not to fumble the ball,

443
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 3: make him run less, they can throw less, run more

444
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: twenty one, get more running backs in there, get a

445
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 3: fullback in there. I think Kansas State can be deadly.

446
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: I think Colin Klin is good enough to do that.

447
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: And then I'll end on a good coordinator on one

448
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: of the lower programs outside the top thirty. Kurk Saraka

449
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: coming back to Minnesota is a really big deal. Tanner

450
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: Morgan was there when.

451
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: He was It was awesome when he was calling their place,

452
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: quick slamt passing attack. I think he's going to do.

453
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: Well in that good things are coming from Minnesota offensively.

454
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: I'm also curious to see what happens with Pitt. I

455
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: always said not look at worked last year, that Whipple

456
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: and Norgiuzia is the worst possible fit ever. But i mean, look,

457
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: it worked out Addison and Kenny Pickett and their year

458
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: they had last year. But obviously it didn't. He's gone now.

459
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: They lost their passing game coordinator with the Texas brought in.

460
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: Frank Signetti is the office. Twitter and Nardozzi came out

461
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: and he was like, we never ran the ball. You

462
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: give us what Nordoozi wants to do. Ultimately, right, Nordouzi

463
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: just wants to run the ball thirty times. He was

464
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: probably going crazy on the sidelines Whipple call and plays.

465
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see what direction pitt goes in from

466
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: an offensive standpoint, because it sounds like Nardoozi is itching

467
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: to run the ball much more. Any thoughts there, Brett.

468
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: Well, Stucky, Look, you know Collins quickly turning into a

469
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: crack ace reporter here. So he has all of the

470
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: scoop on Pittsburgh in Nebraska and what to expect from

471
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: their offenses. So I'll just sit back.

472
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I saw a Pitt Pitt future coming

473
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: there on the app.

474
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: Listen coach Nardoosi was nice enough to give us a

475
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: little one on one time and we had a nice

476
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: conversation about Mark Whibble and let's just say the feelings

477
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 3: are mutual. So Frank Signetti coming in is the new

478
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: offensive corner at Pitt exactly?

479
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: Well, I was right about that, right. It was kind

480
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: of like a little.

481
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: Lot right score one for Stock because it was. It

482
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: was an interesting conversation. But let's just say that Frank

483
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 3: Signetti coming in, slowing down that Pit offense, handing the

484
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: ball off, That's exactly what Nardoozy wants. Kind of fits

485
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: what they're doing on the defense, and I think it's

486
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: gonna have a lot of success in the acc But

487
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 3: Mark Whipple goes over to Nebraska. Now, hey it's Tuesday.

488
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: We're recording on July twenty sixth. I just talked to

489
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: Scott Frost early this morning. Scott Frost seems disgrundled. He

490
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: seems like a newter dog. He will have no hand

491
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 3: in the offense. It's all up to whips, is what

492
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: he said this morning is exact quote. Whips will be

493
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: making a game plan. Whips will be in charge of

494
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: the offense.

495
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: During game day.

496
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: I will have a little bit of say about what's

497
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: going on, but really it's all Whips, and I'm gonna

498
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: pivot over to do some defense and do some special teams.

499
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 3: Which is quite interesting because I don't know if Scott

500
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 3: Frost has ever looked at Eric Sanders defense and that

501
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: input on him.

502
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: Don't think anyone on the Nebraska staff has ever looked

503
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: at special teams, so maybe that'll right exactly.

504
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 3: He didn't want to talk about it. Trent Alberts, the

505
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 3: athletic director at Nebraska's, essentially neutered him. His job now

506
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: is to not be buddy buddy with the players, but

507
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: to act more like a CEO and be a parent

508
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: and get them in line. So we'll see if that

509
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: has a positive effect. But Mark Whipple stuck. We noticed

510
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: from UMass from Pitt that guy's been slaying offense for years,

511
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 3: so you know, see, Thompson is the ultimate highest ceiling,

512
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 3: lowest floor kind of quarterback. So I have no clue

513
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 3: what we're going to get in Lincoln. My money says,

514
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: hopefully we get a little bit of high ceiling in

515
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: that division. So that you know, that's definitely one that

516
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 3: I would keep my eyes on. I think the last

517
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: one that I want to mention from a coordinator perspective

518
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: that I do not like. It is not a fit

519
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 3: and I don't understand why it happened. Mike Elko leaves

520
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: Jimbo Fisher Texas A and M. He goes out he's

521
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: the head coach of Duke and Jimbo Fisher hires Dj Dirkin,

522
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: and the very first thing in the presser was DJ

523
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: Dirkin will continue our run as a four to two

524
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: five defense. Go do a little bit of research on

525
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: DJ Dirkin never called a four to two five in

526
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: his entire life, has never called that personnel, doesn't know

527
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 3: the blitz schemes, doesn't know how to hide his nickelback.

528
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: I think there's going to be massive drop off from

529
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 3: the effectiveness of the Texas A and M defense.

530
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree. I think that's not talked

531
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: about enough. Also, don't really buy any of the quarterbacks there.

532
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: Do you want to go? Do you have any assistants

533
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: you want to mention?

534
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: They're not coordinators, but I can tell you when I

535
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: tweet different assistant hires I usually don't get a lot

536
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: of responses on Twitter. I got the most responses by

537
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: the hiring of a analyst that I've ever gotten, and

538
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: I think most of the responses were from Colin. Actually

539
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: that was USF hiring former Arkansas coach. Chad Morris is

540
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: an offensive analyst. So we'll see how Jeff Scott does.

541
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: Hopefully there's no Power five teams on the South Florida schedule.

542
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: Chad Morris met to win a game against a Power five.

543
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: TEAMU FIU hasn't won a game against an FBS team

544
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: since they beat Miami in twenty nineteen. Still think that's crazy.

545
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: I got to bring up special teams. You haven't really

546
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: talked about special teams. Ball State finished in the top

547
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: ten last year in special teams. Really disappointing year, but

548
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: their special teams were awesome. I think they were if

549
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: you look at like some of the rankings, they were

550
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: top ten, top twenty some of the advances. Overall, they

551
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: had a first team while Mac punter and ridiculous for

552
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: Turner Hall and their kickers were decent. They were good

553
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: across the board. They lose their first team, Mac Connor.

554
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: I think they bring in like a kid from nai

555
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: true freshman. They're gonna be a new kicker, new punter.

556
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: They lose Hall and they lose their seven year special

557
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: teams coordinator who took them from like bottom of the barrel,

558
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: where like most of the MAC teams are like Western

559
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: Michigan is miss Western Michigan makes the Braskat special teams

560
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: look like the Patriots. Like a lot of the MAC

561
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 2: teams have really bad special teams. I think ball State

562
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: could go from like top ten to bottom ten. They

563
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: lose all their all their key players in their seven

564
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: year special teams coordinator is gone, so and that can

565
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: matter in the MAC, where these games are just determined

566
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: by missed field goals and Shenanigans across the world. We'll

567
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: figure outf Kent State has learned how to have someone

568
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 2: else doing kickoffs because that burned them all all last year.

569
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: West Virginia too. All right, Colin, anything else you want

570
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: to add on coaching.

571
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: Don't gamble, don't associate with gamblers, avoid it like the plague.

572
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: Let's check in with bow Dog. Jim Harpball made it

573
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: very clear, do not expect anything different from Michigan on

574
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: offense from what they ran last year that had nothing

575
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: to do with Josh Gattis, but with ronniey Bell being healthy,

576
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: might get a little kay McNamara throwing the ball around

577
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: a little bit more than they were last year. But

578
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: I am not a believer that Michigan can go to

579
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: the Culture Wall playoff in Ohio State. But I am

580
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: a believer they can eclipse nine and a half wins.

581
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: Some love for boat Dog. Jim talks of impact transfers.

582
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: Transfer portal obviously a major storyline these days of college

583
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: football and college basketball. You can mention Colin I don't know, Brett,

584
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: feel free to jime in here if you can mentioned

585
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: teams players the obvious winners were your power players, right

586
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: like Alabama, Texas, USC, oh Miss. I mean, I swear

587
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 2: USC and Ole mess have nothing but transfer starting if

588
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: you look at their rosters losers, Arizona State, UH just

589
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: lost a ton of talent, programs of mess. Georgia Tech

590
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: lost some key players. Nevada basically lost their whole team

591
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 2: to the NFL. Or the transfer in Nevada Nevada Hawaii

592
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: a messy situation that they're counting on changing to hopefully

593
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: clean up after Todd Graham spilled milk everywhere over on

594
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: the island Wyoming. Major departures there, West Virginia. I mentioned Colorado.

595
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: Not the best situations from a transfer transfer perspective. Some

596
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: you know under the radar winners. Akron I think brought

597
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: in more. I brought in some good transfers. I think,

598
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: and again it's the MAC like you can have big

599
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: turnarounds a year to year. So I'm not sure if

600
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: they're going to see it translate on the wins. But

601
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: Aacun's going from like average margin of deficits. We've gone

602
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: from like twenty eight to twenty six to twenty four

603
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: to last year like twenty so they're getting more competitive. Look,

604
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: Arth just built that team with like day one year.

605
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: A couple years ago. They have nothing but freshmen, Like

606
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: their whole team was freshmen, and so they have a

607
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: little more experience now. But I think they brought in

608
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: some transfers that can really help this year. Marshall. I

609
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: love some of the transfers that Marshall brought in. So

610
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: it's really hard to determine how some transfers are going

611
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: to fit in. But those are some of the teams.

612
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: You know, you have your obvious players, you know, Bama,

613
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: some of that in Texas usc Ole, miss But I

614
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: think Akron and Marshall will benefit from the transfers they

615
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: brought in this year. Colm, anything you want to mentioned

616
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: from a transfer perspective.

617
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a couple of positive ones we should

618
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: talk about is Jamiir Gibbs at Alabama is probably going

619
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: to be the best transfer running back that was out there,

620
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: if not the reason that they make the National Championship game.

621
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson. It was finally his turn last year as

622
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: a senior, fifth year senior, but he is a big,

623
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 3: hulking back and Bryce Young had someone standing next to him,

624
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: then maybe he isn't His nimble is what they wanted

625
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: for that offense, So you know, the dumb boff passes,

626
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: maybe he didn't get as many yards and maybe the

627
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: you know whatever. Jamier Gibbs is the real deal. I mean,

628
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: we're talking about a guy that's going to create probably

629
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty misstackles per game. I mean, it's just

630
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: unbelievable if you wish him on film what he did

631
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: at Georgia Tech when basically the entire defense was behind

632
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. Jamiir Gibbs made something out of nothing.

633
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: Now he gets the entire Alabama offensive line in front

634
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: of him. There's definitely something to be watching out for.

635
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: We can't talk about this section of the podcast without

636
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: talking about Cameron Ward from Incarnate Word going to Washington State.

637
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: He gets his offensive coordinator shades of Western Kentucky last

638
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: year with Bailey Zappi and then Zach Kittley going on

639
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: here Bailey Zappy, Washington State is going to be massively

640
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 3: improved on the offensive side of the ball, a team

641
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: that nobody's talking about. And I don't think that we

642
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: can properly handicap because we don't know how good Cameron

643
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: Ward is. And then the last one I'll talk about

644
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: is Michael Pennick Jr. Has transferred into Washington. He has

645
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: gone from Indiana. He is at Washington. He is in

646
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: a quarterback battle there. We know the Huored Kid, the

647
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: five Start that the fans are wanting to be in

648
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: there so bad. But it adds stability to a quarterback

649
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: group and an offense that has struggled for a couple

650
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: of years. Now that Jimmy Lake regime was just got awful.

651
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: So we'll see what's gonna have with Kaitlyn de bor

652
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 3: Up there doesn't get his boy Hainer to come from

653
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: Fresno State. He stays in Fresno State. Michael Pennock Junior

654
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 3: comes in for a reason. I think that's gonna be

655
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: a positive impact up there on a Washington offense. I

656
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: got eighty five percent returning in tarp.

657
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: By the way, Uh you can, I said Toulane, and

658
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: I love the offense coordinator higher and they're going to

659
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: be explosive this year. So you can hold me to that.

660
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: San Diego State with your boy still running the show

661
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: and now Burmeister under center, we're going to see an

662
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: explosive offense and San Diego State overs this year.

663
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: And electric, electric and vertical as techovers and.

664
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Explosive Colin and coach speak. We're back once again. Brat

665
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: any any transfers you think are going to work out

666
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: or anything you want to add here.

667
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: I think one that will have the biggest impact, either

668
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: positive or negatively, will be Casey Thompson at Nebraska. I mean,

669
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: trev Alberts has basically said this is a must win

670
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: season for Scott Ross. We don't know what that means

671
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: a bowl get that means eight wins. Certainly a losing

672
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: season in Frost is gone, so Casey Thompson has to

673
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: be improvement over Martinez. I talked to a couple of

674
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: Nebraska players today. They talked about what impresses them most

675
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: about Thompson is his versatality. We'll see how that transcends

676
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: to Ireland when they open with Northwestern. But other than them,

677
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: I think somebody that's kind of under the radar, kind

678
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: of forgotten about is take me Home Country Roads.

679
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: Almost Heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge. We've got JT.

680
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Daniels of West Virginia. He'll be working with Graham Harrold

681
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator. Neil Brown told me the first

682
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: time in his career as a head coach that he's

683
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: never called the offensive play, so it'll be an investment

684
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: for him. West Virginia, along with Colorado, the only two

685
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: Power five teams that face eleven Power five opponents, so

686
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: it's not going to be easy for them. But if

687
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: JT has a solid year, I think the Mountaineers can

688
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: get back to Bowl.

689
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: I'm surprised you're including Kansas as they Power five team

690
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: in West Virginia schedule. By the way, By the way, Brod,

691
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: I didn't get your thoughts on very relevant to two teams. Here,

692
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: we talked about the potential enormous impact that just adding

693
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: structure and organization Knowles can potentially provide to an Ohio

694
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: State defense that was severely lacking in both departments under

695
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: Kerry Combs. Do you agree being you know, you're very

696
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: familiar with Knowles, and then do you think on the

697
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: other side of the coin, it's going to be a

698
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: big loss for the Oklahoma State defense.

699
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: I think Knowles is probably the biggest assistant addition in

700
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: college football. I think he will provide immediate impact for

701
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State. With the line for Ohio State Notre Dame.

702
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: It just went up today at sixteen. I think it

703
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: went up a point or two.

704
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: Is that the first half Ohio State will dominate Notre Dame.

705
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: Knowles has that experience. What he did at Oklahoma State

706
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: was nothing short of amazing. I think that'll carry over

707
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: to Ohio State, where arguably he has better athletes. But

708
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: actually I don't think it's It will be a loss

709
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: obviously for oklahmas State. But from what Mike Gunny said,

710
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Derek Mason's coming in, the former Vanderbilt coach. They're using

711
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: the same terminology that Knowles did they're going to use

712
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: this in defense. Whether they can execute it the same

713
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: with a different guy providing the message, we'll have to

714
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: find out. You know. I don't think we're going to

715
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: see a big drop by oklahmas State, but I think

716
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be substantial enough that I'm not sure

717
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: if Oklahoma State can get back to the Big Twelve

718
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: title game. But for Ohio State, I think this is

719
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: the missing piece for them. They don't have to throw shutouts,

720
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: they hold them to twenty four points, They're going to

721
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: win every game because Ohio State's going to score twenty

722
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: eight or more every game. I think Knowles will have

723
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: the biggest impact of any assistant new hire for the

724
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: twenty two season.

725
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you look at Ohio State's defensive numbers, like

726
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: I said, justin for scheduling, finished around forty fifth fiftieth,

727
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 2: which is really bad given the talent they have. But

728
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 2: it's their their their talent and their athleticism can dominate

729
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: inferior opponents. If you looked last year when they played

730
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: really good opponents, that's where it showed their lack of discipline, organization.

731
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: Go look at the Oregon game. Couldn't adjust to the

732
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: same play over and over again. They ran for a

733
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: million yards. Look at Michigan ran for a million yards

734
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: against Ohio State when they played their good opponents the

735
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: past years. I go back to the college cold club

736
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: when they give up fit whatever fifty five to Alabama.

737
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: That's where the just the need of that defensive coinator

738
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: really shows. So their numbers against the really good competition

739
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: were way worse. And I think the most alarming thing

740
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 2: and I think where knows will have the biggest impact.

741
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff there. Let's talk some experience col

742
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: Maybe you can summarize the most experience and least experience teams.

743
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: I'll mention some of the ones that i've here. I

744
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: take kind of like I have my own rankings system

745
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 2: that I do for and take into account coaches and everything.

746
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's going to be a lot of overlap.

747
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: But the most experienced teams Arkansas State by U and

748
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: us F five one two. Interesting enough, they play week

749
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 2: one in the humidity of Tampa could be a factor.

750
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: Just keep that in mind. And by the way, I

751
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: think in the humidity of factor when it was like

752
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: ninety five degrees ninety percent amidity in twenty nineteen. Early

753
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 2: in the season, USF upset the UYA and Jenholl's first start.

754
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: I think that came in like October or something. Those

755
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: two teams. I think US a twelve point favorite tricky

756
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 2: spot for a very experienced BYU team in that Tampa

757
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: humidity early in the season. Bowling Green, you know a

758
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: couple of years ago they had all freshmen and sophomores

759
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: them up there, NC State, Mississippi State, as my you know,

760
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: some teams dimension is the most experienced the least. Be

761
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 2: really interesting to see what McCall can do a coastal

762
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 2: Carolina because that roster is decimated. Nevada, we mentioned Wyoming,

763
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: we mentioned FIU. The roster is hilarious. Iowa State just

764
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: crushed by departures and they had all those seniors that

765
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: underperformed last year. The Texas A and M lost. I

766
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: think they're bottom ten and both tackles lost and of

767
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: yards lost from last year. So those are some of

768
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: the teams worth mentioning. Anything you want to add or

769
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: do you want to summarize the top five? Yeah? Five

770
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 2: of TARP.

771
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of people have questions about

772
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: TARP and it's not about returning starters. It's not about

773
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: how many heads that you have at certain positions. On offense,

774
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 3: it's how much do you return of your passing, receiving yards,

775
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: rushing yards, and how many offensive line snaps are you

776
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: bringing back? And then on defense, it's not about how

777
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 3: many heads you have come back because everybody goes too deep.

778
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: So it's about what's your percentage of tackles, passes, defense,

779
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: your pressure, and your top So that's what TARP is

780
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 3: based on. Because you know you could go too deep.

781
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: That means that you know, half those guys not even starters.

782
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: So I think looking at starters is a prehistoric dinosaur

783
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 3: way of looking at this. That said, who are the

784
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: teams that are really struggling? Well, worst teams in TARP

785
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: this season Iowa State, Ioway stayed by far, losing you know,

786
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 3: generational talent that they've never had an aims whatsoever. They

787
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 3: pulled up one of the worst rankings out there. Western

788
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: Michigan pulled one of the worst power rating bumps going

789
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: straight down Hawaii. Of course we've already talked about them.

790
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 3: Nevada is going to have non scholarship players in the

791
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: two D this season.

792
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: S walk On's in the two defense.

793
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 3: Out there there wins at five, So go smash the

794
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 3: under utsa. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it,

795
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: I hate the bag of me. But they almost got

796
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 3: the worst rating, but it's low. It's still They took

797
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: a minus ten in their power rating bump going down

798
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: for what they have coming back. Buffalo is another team

799
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: that took a massive, massive loss and New Mexico, who

800
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 3: I believe is going to field under Danny Gonzalez their

801
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: third different type of offense in three seasons that he

802
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: has been there. Some good news for some of the teams.

803
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: Bowling Green you already mentioned off.

804
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: Into the country by the way that staff can coach defense.

805
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 2: They got some good stafeties there. The defense once again

806
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 2: will be decent and even though they're on the field

807
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 2: the entire game. But yeah, they're they're changing the option

808
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 2: attack there and with a Kansas quarterback that's not great again.

809
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 3: It's gonna make great TV, says. Some of the best

810
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 3: teams from Tarbs South Florida is South Florida gonna be

811
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: on the rebound here. I know Florida State and NC

812
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 3: State are teams that we will talk about later. They

813
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 3: bring in back a heavy amount TCU got the highest

814
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: rank when it comes to transfer portal and returning production

815
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: when you can buy those together. Southern Miss almost got

816
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: the highest ranking. Listen, they return everything on that team,

817
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 3: and I know that team was an abomination. They had

818
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: two interim coaches in one season, but Southern Miss.

819
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: Four quarterbacks and around the wildcat.

820
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 3: I think you and I have mentioned Bowling Green. I'd

821
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 3: love to hold onto that till until your MAC preview

822
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: comes out. That's a big one that I think no

823
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: one's talking about. Northern Illinois. Uh, they almost got the

824
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 3: top spot in TARP. They're going to return everything off

825
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: of Thomas Hammick's team both sides.

826
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: Of the ball.

827
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: As much as Stucky and I hate them and as

828
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: much as they've cost us a lot of money, everybody's

829
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 3: gonna back. And then a small little shout out to

830
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 3: Mississippi State, Georgia State, and Troy who return a very

831
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: healthy amount of TARP on both side football.

832
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah you mentioned by the way you mentioned, Uh, good

833
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 2: call out there. You mentioned depth. I like the when

834
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: I look at depth, depth will push me to if

835
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm close on a wind total. So if a team

836
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 2: doesn't have depth, and I like and I sort of

837
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: like the over, I might pass and you know it's

838
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: it's it's if I'm really close Edgeways, that might push

839
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: me one way o. So like because injuries by the

840
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: end of the year, if you don't have a lot

841
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: of depth, or if you have like no backup quarterback,

842
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: one injury, if I don't really love the wind total,

843
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 2: I'll be like, yeah, you know what, I'm going to

844
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 2: stay away. An example, miam of Ohio Gabbert has had

845
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: injury issues. They have no backup quarterback, my Meyer transferred.

846
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 2: Their backups have one career pass attempt. They're all like freshman,

847
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: so if he gets hurt, you know, Meyer could come

848
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: in and he was very serviceable as a backup. Then

849
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 2: Miami Ohio is screwed and they have some depth issues elsewhere.

850
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: They also might start four underclassmen in the secondary. But

851
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: we'll get to that the MAC preview. But that's something.

852
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 2: And then if the team a strong depth or like

853
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 2: strong depth, especially at quarterback, then and I like the over,

854
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 2: then that might push me if I'm kind of close.

855
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 2: So that's where I look at depth. But I agree

856
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: with you on how to look at tart. All right,

857
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: good stuff there before we get out of here. I

858
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: just said, media days, you guys have been to a

859
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 2: few PAC twelve coming up. I'll give you like just

860
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 2: two minutes each. Do you want to mention a highlight

861
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 2: or two or something you could just be something you

862
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 2: found entertaining or take away or an interesting story, anything

863
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 2: you want to mention.

864
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 3: Colin, I think Kansas State was my big focus of

865
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: Big twelve. That team seems more determined than anything. I

866
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: had Duce Bond physically show me how he holds the ball,

867
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 3: on why he's only fumbled once in three hundred plus snaps,

868
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 3: and then he went on to tell me about how

869
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 3: Southern Illinois is the team that stripped him of his

870
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 3: only fumble in his career. He showed me how he

871
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 3: holds the ball. I immediately turned and this is just on

872
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 3: the field walking around, turned around and looked at Adriane

873
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: Martinez and said, Adrian, are you taking notes? And he

874
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: said absolutely so. I was on the phone kidding Adrian

875
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 3: Martinez to play ball protection with Douce Vaughan. So that

876
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 3: was a big takeaway there for me from SEC Media Days.

877
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: It's made for TV. You don't really get to get

878
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 3: up in the coaches spaces. You don't really get to

879
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: get up and do anything with them, but it's hard

880
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 3: not to see, you know, how Alabama is conducting their

881
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 3: business and not think that they're not going to take over.

882
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 3: There's a couple coaches that got up there that just

883
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: talk so long. I think it's so that they don't

884
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: get fired. Eli Drinkowitz, Clark Lee.

885
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: We know that in time Bannable football will be the

886
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: best program in the country.

887
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: Some of the coaches up there just, you know, absolutely

888
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 3: provided no value to what media Days is all about.

889
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: And then you know, from an acc perspective, my conversations

890
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: with a Nardoozy was one of the reasons that I

891
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 3: went in and put a bet on them to win

892
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 3: their division. I was already sold on NC State. Dave

893
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 3: Doran told me multiple times about how that bowl game

894
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: being canceled out in Petco. You know, against UCLA has

895
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: been a huge motivating factor for them this season. They're

896
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: not scared of Clemson.

897
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 2: They put them in the haven't won ten games at

898
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: Phlip Rivers Philip Rivers.

899
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: Twenty years ago, things going on with the women's basketball team,

900
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 3: things going on with their college. Yeah, baseball, getting kicked

901
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 3: out of Omaha being the sixty fifth team in last year.

902
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: This team is pissed.

903
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: That proved to be more.

904
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: And then here at the Big Ten media days today,

905
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 3: I think hardball.

906
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: Was good at you.

907
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: Know, showing that the systems that are ran at Michigan

908
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: are his. The defense, it's ran, it's really his. I mean,

909
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 3: he has his hands and everything and what he wants.

910
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 3: Scott Frost, on the other hand, like I said, he is,

911
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 3: he's been a he's a neutered animal, and he is

912
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: not in control of what's happening in Lincoln right now.

913
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: Trub Albert says, you know, essentially taking it out of

914
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: his hands. It's up to the coordinators. It's up to

915
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: Mark Whipple, it's up to Erik shenanderws defensive coordinator. And

916
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: maybe they're going to play some special team. But you know,

917
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 3: those are you know, those are some of the takeaways

918
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: I have. I think Brett really has a different look.

919
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: A lot of people go there to interview some of

920
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: the players, interview the coaches. I'm looking at a body language.

921
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 3: I'm looking at our Do I think you're bluffing me?

922
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 3: Do I think you're lying to me about how you feel?

923
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 3: Every coach says the same thing. You know, I feel

924
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 3: good about this team. I feel good about this players.

925
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: But when sarct Big twelve Media Days tells me that

926
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: he's divulging his personal life to his players so that

927
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: they can come together, have more communication, trust each other.

928
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: So this defense actually talks to each other, I believe that.

929
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 3: So those are my takeaways from some of the media

930
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 3: days that we've been to.

931
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll have a lot more input from those when

932
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: we do our Power five from connorll do our Power

933
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: five previews. As we mentioned before, we have a group

934
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: of five guys are going to do each conference. Each

935
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: group of five conference preview. Colin, myself or Brett will

936
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: be on for those. Then we'll have our Power five previews,

937
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: and then we'll have a recap of the SOD Then

938
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Week zero will be here, right,

939
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: any key takeaways you want to mention, You're going to

940
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 2: be on the Big twelve episode when we do that,

941
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: so you can save any Big twelve nuggets for that day.

942
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 2: But anything you want to mention in regards to any

943
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: of the others that you've been to, No.

944
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: Just you know, Paton Ardoozy's always great seeing his embroidered

945
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: shirts with his autograph on it. I asked him where

946
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: he got that. He goes you got to go see

947
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: the suit man talking to him off the record about

948
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, which was off the record, very sightful and entertaining.

949
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: Also Pa Fitzgerald here at Big Ten Meetia Days. He's

950
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: one of my favorite coaches. Just an incredible guy. He

951
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: has a very optimistic outlook for the Wildcast this year

952
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: they've won the best offensive linemen in the country. And

953
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: being able to talk to all the commissioners, you know,

954
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: to get some insight. This is a very weird time

955
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: right now for college athletics, and I asked each commissioner,

956
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: can you really trust anybody without saying no? They basically

957
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: said no. So that's something I took away. Probably the

958
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: biggest memory for me for Media Days so far is

959
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: the fact that I actually went from from Gate A

960
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: eleven to Gate B two in the Atlanta Airport in

961
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: less than fourteen minutes to catch my connection to make

962
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: it to Big Ten Media Days. I think I said

963
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: a world land speed record. It was not win dated.

964
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: I did not pull a hamstring, So that was one

965
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: of my highlights so far.

966
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: I had to do that in Denver, I was sprinting

967
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 2: at six in the morning after we were out, when

968
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 2: we were there until four in the morning. I left

969
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 2: that Saturday morning at six in the morning. It was horrendous.

970
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 2: Did any either of you get to ask Dabo about

971
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 2: why are you still coaching because players are getting paid? No,

972
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: if you're listening, Dabbo, I would like to know the

973
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 2: answer to that. Brett, did you ask Pat Fitzgerald, I'll

974
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: make some adjustments here in North question how they're actually

975
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: going to score points? He's optimistic. Clarified.

976
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 1: No, I didn't.

977
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: But Pat Fitzgerald did come out and say, listen, the

978
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 3: years we went a nine, we had no experience. The

979
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 3: years that we were good, we had experienced players. Pat

980
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: Vitcherald thinks it's as easy as how much do I

981
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 3: have coming back?

982
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 2: They always overperform. You got to give Fitzgerald credit there,

983
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 2: and whenever they have a bad year, they tend to

984
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: bounce back out of note after losing years almost every

985
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 2: time under Fitzgerald. But Jim O'Neil defensive coordinator, one of

986
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: the disastrous first year. So we'll see what they can

987
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: do on that side of the ball too this year.

988
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 2: If they have concerns on both sides the ball. We'll

989
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: be don't see that in Dublin to start off the

990
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 2: year against Nebraska. All right, that'll do it for us.

991

Speaker 2: Thanks everyone for joining us. It was nice to shake

00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,719

00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 2: to go back to the media days, collect some more intel.
