But yeah, one of the 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 4: most iconic games of all time, no doubt. 27 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: So apparently that was the first game ever on Big 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: ten networks. 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely was, absolutely. 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: Was, and a lot of people there was like a 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: bunch of the was a mess with like rights and people. 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: A lot of people in Michigan couldn't even watch it. 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Fun trivia question. The person who the player who blocked 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: the field goal was Corey Lynch and he he actually 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: he has the He's the all time leader in college 36 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: football and passes defended still to this day when three 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: national championships, was drafted by the Bengals, played a couple 38 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: years in the NFL Iconic Game, and that just gets 39 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: my juice's flown. I cannot wait for college football to 40 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: get here. And by the way, the thing that people 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: forget about that game is app State kicked a field 42 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: goal to take the lead with thirty seconds left. They 43 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: could have run the clock out the one second, but 44 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: they panicked because they had no timeouts, and they gave 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: the ball back to Michigan, who hit a bomb and 46 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: then that's that could have never happened because of clock mismanagement. 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: What's up Mario Christ of ball, I'm sure we'll be 48 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: talking about him and Miami coming up, Colin, do you 49 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: remember where you were and what's going on?

The 177 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: MAC Manifesto be here before we know it. But let's 178 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: get in two. The twenty twenty four college football season. 179 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: A lot of changes. Just mentioned a lot of the changes, 180 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: and this is a season that's going to look a 181 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: lot different. 182 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: Bret. 183 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you. Do you want to just 184 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: explain to those that aren't in the know and or 185 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: living under a rock what the new college football playoff 186 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: format will look like. 187 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, everybody, I'm sure knows that it will be 188 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: twelve teams the biggest difference, and fans are going to 189 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 4: freak out. They'll probably forget, but then they when they 190 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: see the seedings. The top four teams in the final 191 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 4: seedings will be the highest ranked conference champions. So if 192 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: those conference champions ranked two, seven, twenty four, or ninety, 193 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 4: they will be seeded one through four. Notre Dame could 194 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 4: go twelve to zero and be ranked number one every 195 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 4: week by the selection committee. The highest it can be 196 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: as a five seed because they are not in a conference. So, 197 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: you know, we'll talk about this more when we get 198 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: into the season, but I think what's going to be 199 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 4: fascinating is if there's a team that can get into 200 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: the playoffs that does not have to play a conference 201 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 4: championship game, most likely an SEC or Big Ten team, 202 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 4: which it'll be a third team from those leagues. I 203 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 4: think they're going to have a huge advantage because they 204 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: have the week off of the conference championship game, They 205 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: get a rest and more than likely they would host 206 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 4: a first round game, so well, I mean, we'll dissect 207 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 4: that and break it down, but that's that's the main thing. 208 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 4: And keep in mind, this is only for the next 209 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 4: two years. We don't know what's going to happen in 210 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: twenty twenty six. They haven't officially said. It could be 211 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: twelve teams, it could be fourteen, it could be sixteen. 212 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: Personally from the people I've talked to, I think it 213 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 4: goes to fourteen. But I think it's going to be great, guys, 214 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 4: because when we get into the back half of the season, 215 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 4: instead of you know, five teams in the running for 216 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 4: four spots, we're literally going to have maybe three dozen 217 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 4: teams in the running because you take in all the 218 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 4: teams that are that have a chance to get in 219 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: as the group of fives high straighted champion, and then 220 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 4: teams that are in the running for at large bids 221 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 4: if they don't win their conference among the four power leagues. 222 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I have home college twelve playoff games. You 223 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: have four buys. Important. It's a really important note that 224 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned could even link into Heisman, but especially for futures, right, 225 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: you have there's a good chance the Big twelve or 226 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: the ACC champ is not you know, in the top four, 227 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: like the chances that it's SEC champ is one, you know, 228 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: Big twelve champions two, et cetera, et cetera, some to none. Right, 229 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: so probably you're gonna have a team that's ranked higher 230 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't get the buy. So that's really important to 231 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: keep in mind. As of right now, there are eight 232 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: teams that are favored or even money to make the playoff. 233 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Georgia overwhelming favorites, Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame, 234 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: Penn State, Ole Miss Alabama around even money. Colin any 235 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: thoughts on the new format, One thing I will say 236 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: before I throw to you is people complaining like, oh wait, 237 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: why are we going the twelfth teams? Who cares? These 238 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: are the games that there's gonna be more college more 239 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: great college football games. We're just we're gonna beatt on them, 240 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be exciting. And I actually think, look, 241 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: maybe not every single game means as much of the 242 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: top teams, but there's gonna be more meaningful games, uh, 243 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: in aggregate. So look, and if there's if you do ten, 244 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: if you do eight, you're always you're always gonna argue 245 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: who should be the eighth and then who should be 246 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: the tenth, who should be the twelfth. If there was BCS, 247 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: you'd be like, this team should be said, there's always 248 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: gonna be an argument there. I don't care. Give me 249 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: the games, give me the excitement, and also give me 250 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: the conference every conference championship game something, and we don't 251 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: have that long break anymore of just you know, we 252 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: don't get them meaningful games. Now, December is going to 253 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: be epic bolent thoughts. 254 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, my Twitter absolutely blew up when executive new executive 255 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 5: director Rich Clark, he's a general from the Air Force, 256 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 5: by the way, he took the stage in Las Vegas 257 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 5: and explained to everybody what's going to go into the teams, 258 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 5: the four teams that are going to host in their cities. 259 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 5: He mentioned the things that go into it that they're 260 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 5: trying to get campuses prepared for. Is hotel availability, ticket sales, 261 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: practice facilities, and weather. 262 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: Now, when I tweeted that out, that tweet went bonkers. 263 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 5: A lot of negativity coming in there for people in 264 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 5: the Big ten saying that we'll never. 265 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: Get to host a game. 266 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 5: And I think, really what Rich Clark was trying to say, 267 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 5: was we're working with teams already. And I asked him 268 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 5: in a sidebar, you know, let's take Notre Dame for instance, 269 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 5: maybe they don't have the hotels in South Bend to 270 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 5: house one hundred thousand people that would travel into the 271 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: city to be ready for that. Was there a contingency 272 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 5: for them? And I'm just saying in general, this is 273 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 5: not specific. 274 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: To Notre Dame. 275 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 5: Would you potentially move them to Chicago to play in 276 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 5: Soldier Field? He said yes. Every single school that we're 277 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: in contact with and trying to get them ready will 278 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 5: have a backup contingency plan. So I think for everybody 279 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 5: that's kind of freaking out, like you know, Michigan State 280 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 5: maybe gets into the playoff, you think of a power 281 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 5: for school that has a small setting, like a Green 282 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 5: Bay Packers type thing, and do they have the infrastructure 283 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 5: to host. They're working with those schools to try to 284 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 5: get everything ready. I don't think you're going to. 285 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: Get your seed spot stolen. I don't think they're. 286 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 5: Going to flop. Say let's say five, six, seven, eight, 287 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 5: get to host. I don't think they're going to flop 288 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 5: eight to nine because of the cities. But it is 289 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 5: a monster hot topic, and you know, I think it's 290 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 5: just one of those things where if like if the 291 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 5: Charlotte forty nine ers make it, you're not going to 292 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 5: send an entire college football playoff game, you know, to 293 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 5: their twenty thousand seed stadium. 294 00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. 295 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 5: They're thinking about it, they're informing teams about it, and 296 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 5: they're trying to get infrastructure ready, and I think they 297 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 5: need to be more transparent about who gets those four 298 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 5: teams and why because there's a lot of big ten 299 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 5: folks or just people that support teams in the North 300 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 5: that think that they're going to get screwed out of 301 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 5: a hosting a spot because they're not in the SEC. 302 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 5: So that is on the horizon and it's going to 303 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 5: be a monster topic of conversation. 304 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Also the other thing that makes the 305 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: new format the most exciting to me at least is 306 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: from a betting and content perspective for this podcast, the 307 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: college to make the college football playoff market. I don't 308 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: think there's a ton of value out there right now, 309 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: but on a week to week basis, trying to price 310 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: that find opportunities after losses, and that's going to be 311 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: fascinating all year long, especially in the first year, So 312 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited to dive into that market all year long. 313 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And something that we I don't think we mentioned is 314 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: the highest rank group of five champion will automatically get 315 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: a place as well. There also is a new team. 316 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: We have a new team in FBS Keennessall State, who 317 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: did not beat a FCS or FBS team last year. 318 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: They went three and six. They only beat they beat 319 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: like teams like Tusculum Lincoln. They did red shirt a 320 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: bunch of guys and they only played nine games. Their 321 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: quarterback situation extremely dicey. They have their starter went oh 322 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: of six in his only start last year against Lincoln California. 323 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: Their backup is the coach's son who didn't even win 324 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: a full time starting job in high school. So things 325 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: could get ugly for Kennessall State. Will it go like 326 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: Sam Houston Little Rough or will it go like Jacksonville 327 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: State who had a very successful first year and along 328 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: with some others over the years, there's been a lot 329 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: of hitter misses with those teams making the transition in 330 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: the first year, But keep that in mind. A new 331 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: team kind of Cell State group of five guys. We'll 332 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: have a lot more on that, and we will cover 333 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: them in the conference previews as well. I do like 334 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: under two and a half. 335 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 5: By the way, you know it's sad, you know, it's sad, stuck. 336 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 5: They left the triple option a couple of years ago. 337 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 5: They went, yeah, spread, I'm so upset about it. 338 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they. 339 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: Should go back to the triple option this year. They 340 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: went to like a spread option last year and they 341 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: said that, Hey, we think we have the quarterbacks the throat. 342 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: It's more we know we're making the transition. I don't 343 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: think they have a quarterbacks and look if you I 344 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: don't think they have the talent yet either. And the 345 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: triple option a unique scheme that's kind of how you 346 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: can compete. Look at the service academies. So I think 347 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: they should have stuck with it. But we'll see how 348 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: it works out. By the way, we'll have some we'll 349 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: talk high level futures, maybe some early win totals you 350 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: like in part two, So again make sure you check 351 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: that out. 352 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 4: Of course. 353 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: The other big offseason news was conference realignment. You look 354 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: at the conferences now, they're going to look a lot different. 355 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: They have been changing a lot, but this is we 356 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: have some drastic changes. The PAC twelve dispersed all over 357 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: the place and now we just have the PAC two 358 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: just kind of like a quasi Mountain West two team 359 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: conference of Oregon State and Washington State, and the rest 360 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: of the PAC twelve is dispersed throughout the country. Colin, 361 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: any thoughts on how that's going to work out like 362 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: some of these Big ten teams? Excuse me, some of 363 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: these x PAC twelve teams going to the Big Ten 364 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: if some going to the ACC, more travel, different style 365 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: of football in a way, Any early thoughts there? 366 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, first off, the PAC twelve is now just 367 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: two teams, and everybody in Las Vegas called them the Tupac, 368 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 5: so they will now be referred to as Tupac out 369 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: of Las Vegas. They had themselves a very healthy drinking 370 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 5: night this past week. I think for me, the Big 371 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 5: twelve is not going to produce a national championship contender. 372 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 5: To me, it's the most fascinating and exciting league out 373 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 5: there by far. Brett Ormark calls the four Corners. We 374 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 5: got the four corners from UCF Arizona State, Arizona. They 375 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 5: absolutely are going to be highly competitive half the league 376 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 5: can win the conference, different styles of offenses everywhere. You've 377 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 5: got the Malson Wildcat, the Willie Fritz Diamond triple in space, 378 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 5: and you've got the heavy rushing attack at Kansas State. 379 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: I think from a TV viewing point of view, the 380 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 5: Big Twelve might be the most fun thing to watch. 381 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: I mean, to me, that's more entertaining than seeing these 382 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: PAC twelve. 383 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 5: Teams try to play in Big Ten cold that's just 384 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 5: going to be like Miami trying to play in the 385 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 5: pin Stride Bowl. And so I think realignment's done, but 386 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 5: I'll at Brett speak is I'm not sure that I 387 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: think there's one team in acc that is still looking 388 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 5: to break that contract out there. But I think the 389 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: Big twelve is going to be fascinating. 390 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think those maybe seven or eight teams, 391 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: as you alluded to, that if you told me they 392 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,239 Speaker 1: ended up winning the Big Twelve, I wouldn't be completely shocked, right, 393 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: And if you said that about the SEC like eight teams, 394 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: you know there's only a couple they think, and really 395 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: when it's same with the Big Ten. So yeah, it's 396 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: definitely wide open. Can't wait for that episode to dig 397 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: in to some futures. You mentioned the ACC. Stanford going 398 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: to the ACC is going to be interesting. They're one 399 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: of only two teams that plays five teams off of 400 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: a bye and they're out on the West Coast. Playing 401 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: in the ACC might be a little rough, but you 402 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: hinted at this as well. ACC Clemson, I think they 403 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: just they're suing the Conference. I think they just lost 404 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: and they're appealing to the Supreme Court in Carolina. Now 405 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: they're trying to get out of a TV rights deal 406 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: them in Florida State, which I think locks them into 407 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: like twenty thirty six. Brett, do you have any insight, 408 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: any inkling of what's going to happen there? 409 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 4: Well, Florida State is suing to get out of the 410 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 4: league and that is their intention. The ACC, though, is 411 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 4: taking a page out of former North Carolina coach Dean 412 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 4: Smith's playbook in that they are trying to run the 413 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 4: four corners offense. The ACC is trying to stall all 414 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 4: of these lawsuits, trying to stall all of these judgments 415 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 4: as long as they can, because they know ultimately, once 416 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 4: Florida State is given a number to get out, then 417 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 4: they're going to try to get out. Clemson will also 418 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 4: The biggest question though is stuck is if Florida State 419 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 4: can get out, but it's going to cost them one 420 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 4: hundred or two hundred million dollars, that kind of big number. 421 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 4: It's very doubtful that other schools will also try to 422 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 4: get out of the league. However, if Florida State can 423 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: find a path out with you know, you mentioned, there's 424 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 4: multiple lawsuits going on right now, we have to see 425 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: where that goes. It's impossible to predict who will win those. 426 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 4: But if these lawsuits, if they rule that Florida State 427 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 4: can get out of the ACC, and you know, basically 428 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 4: rule that the grant of rights is unconstitutional and that 429 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: there is it's not binding, and they can get out, 430 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 4: you know, for basically nothing, then there's going to be 431 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: a conga line out of the ACC. And if that happens, 432 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 4: it is the end of times for college football because 433 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 4: the Big Ten goes to twenty schools minimum, the SEC 434 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 4: goes to twenty, the Big Twelve goes to twenty, then 435 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: there's no ACC and it's just like the Pac twelve. 436 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 4: If only Florida State and Clemson lead the ACC, the 437 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 4: ACC survives, We'll have to see where Florida State and 438 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 4: Clemson end up. Obviously, they want to get into the 439 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 4: Big Ten, they want to get into the SEC. I'm 440 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 4: not so sure that the feeling is recepted from those leagues, 441 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: but at least we know for the next two years 442 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 4: that the ACC will remain the way it is. 443 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: So we have some stability in the short term, a 444 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty in the long term, and the ever 445 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: changing landscape of college football. 446 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 7: This podcast is presented by bet MGM use bonus code 447 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 7: action when signing up to get up to fifteen hundred 448 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 7: dollars back in bonus bets if your first bet does 449 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 7: not win. For new users in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, 450 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 7: New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, 451 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 7: and Wyoming. Terms and conditions apply. Must be twenty one 452 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 7: plus gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler. 453 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: Along those lines, you also have this new era of 454 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: nil and the transfer portal where teams are changing drastically 455 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: on a year to year basis. People said nil the 456 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: transportal is going to ruin colltoball on all the best 457 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: players are going to go to one or two teams. 458 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: That's not true, but I will say that some of 459 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: these you know, lower level, inferior group of five teams 460 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: are really going to suffer. Look at a team like 461 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: Ohio and what they lost and where they're headed. A 462 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: team like Temple. You have guys as soon as they're 463 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: they have a good year, they're gonna might not go 464 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: to Georgia, but they're gonna go to a better power 465 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: for school and get a better offer. And those teams 466 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: are gonna fall really fall behind. They're gonna start reaching 467 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: into D two, into JUCO more and then you're gonna 468 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: see these rosters potentially take a hit. If you don't 469 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: strike gold on a majority of the guys that you 470 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: bring in, it's gonna make it tough for those teams 471 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: to really compete with the upper echelan. So I think 472 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: there is going to be a wider split between the 473 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: top and the bottom with the new era of the 474 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: transfer portal and nil. But it's not going to ruin 475 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: gol football. There plenty of good players to go around. 476 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: Just go look at any school Ole Miss Lane Kiffin. Obviously, 477 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: the transfer portal king, he did it again this year. Colin, 478 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: any thoughts on the portal this year in general or 479 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: if you want to name a specific team or two. 480 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, I wrote the Old I'm sorry, I wrote the 481 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 5: SEC preview and this Old Miss roster is like an 482 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 5: All star game. It is unbelievable the talent that they 483 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 5: have at every single position. But I think the question 484 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: is is that going to get yourself to a championship 485 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 5: Because we've been down this path with USC and LSU 486 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 5: in previous years where they've absolutely dominated the transfer portal 487 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 5: in separate years, and you can portal your way into 488 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 5: ten wins both those teams have. Did you portal your 489 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 5: way into a conference championship and a playoff push? I mean, really, 490 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 5: what you should be using the portal for is to 491 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 5: build depth, right, That's something Colorado failed on this year. 492 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 5: They got better in their starters, but they didn't build 493 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 5: any depth whatsoever. Old Miss is going to have to 494 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 5: have depth because I go back to the fact that 495 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 5: Georgia spanked them by thirty five points and they just 496 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 5: didn't have the depth. Do you remember they were trying 497 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 5: to run outside zone with Jackson Dart and the tackles 498 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 5: were hurt. They had a tackle injury right before the 499 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 5: game and it just didn't hold up. 500 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: And the Georgia defense absolutely ate them alive. 501 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 5: So if Ole Miss does I mean, instead of looking 502 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 5: at the first string on both offensive defense, maybe we 503 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 5: should be grading Old Miss on what they have in 504 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: the second string on both sides of the ball. Because 505 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 5: we have yet to see the portal win translated into 506 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 5: a conference championship. 507 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also nil the schools that have a lot 508 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: of it, that have access to it, and you know, 509 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: versus teams that don't. That's going to start to make 510 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: a difference over time as well, and you'll maybe see 511 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: some programs go off and some others rise to the top. 512 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Brett trivia question for you, Colin, you can jump into 513 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: if you want trivia. Eight teams have made a bowl 514 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: game in ten plus straight years. Georgia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Alabama, Clemson, 515 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: Bret's beloved Oklahoma State, Folks, Ohio State, and who's the eighth. 516 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 4: It's Boise State. If you do not, if you do 517 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 4: not penalize them for a game that was canceled because 518 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 4: of weather and or COVID, we are. 519 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: They didn't go to a bowl in those years. That's 520 00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: a technically correct I'll give you half a point. Okay, Georgia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Alabama, Clemson, 521 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, and Ohio State. I don't know answer Memphis, 522 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: which is very surprising. Eight team. Something more worthy with Memphis. 523 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: The reason I bring that trivia up is they inked 524 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: the largest NIL I believe, the largest NIL corporate sponsorship 525 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: with FedEx twenty five million, five million over five years. 526 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: That's huge, right, do you have access to that FedEx money? 527 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: Colin Nil Arkansas? How much of an impact can that 528 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: have over time? Any thoughts there? 529 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: Whoopick Sully absolute dumpster fined dumps. 530 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 4: I don't know how we win a game the rest 531 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 4: of the year, just blowing program up. 532 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 2: Give us a death sentence. Collins talking razorback football. 533 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 5: If where this was a baseball or basketball podcast, I'd 534 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 5: say that it's going pretty great. Arkansas is definitely behind 535 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 5: on the NIL from the football standpoint when it comes 536 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 5: compares to the rest of the SEC. And it's really 537 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 5: I mean some of the coach I've talked to, it's 538 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 5: a give and take. It's players accepting deals but not 539 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 5: getting paid. It's players getting paid and then not showing up. 540 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 2: For their deals. 541 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 5: And you know, I'm close to a couple of businesses 542 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 5: here in northwest Arkansas. They have told me certain players 543 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 5: that just don't show up after they've signed and got 544 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 5: their money. But then again, there's you know, some of 545 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 5: them that are promised things and they don't get them. 546 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: And it's happening all over college football. 547 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we specifically know that the number 548 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 5: one wide receiver a couple of years ago went to 549 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 5: USC and he wasn't paid some of the things that 550 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 5: he was promised, at least for a while for a 551 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 5: few months. So you know, NIL is an extremely interesting aspect, 552 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 5: and you know, dollar amounts aren't exactly out there right now, 553 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 5: but I think there's not really any rules about whether 554 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 5: you get paid or what responsibilities you have once you 555 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 5: get paid. Are you cutting commercials, are you cutting radio spots? 556 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 5: Are you simply holding a sign at the front door 557 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 5: of the business. It's all, you know, really subjective. 558 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: And I think I. 559 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 5: Think the one team to watch out for is Alabama 560 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 5: because Alabama didn't really have any kind of NIL program, 561 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 5: no kind of organization, because everybody just wanted to play 562 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 5: for Nick Saban and Alabama's gonna have to ramp up 563 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 5: their NIL unless Kalen de Bor can somehow make a 564 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 5: national championship game again. And he's like, listen, I made 565 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 5: two national championships in a row. 566 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 2: Don't really need to lower you guys in with NIL. 567 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 5: But you know it's important to the teams that are 568 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 5: not in the upper tier, and some of them are failing. 569 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, a Penn State potentially could fall behind because of that. 570 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: I think it was all of the top ten recruiting 571 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: class for twenty twenty five, but just in general over time, 572 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: it's like in the middle of nowhere, and I don't 573 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: think they have a huge chest as of right now. 574 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: It's something to keep an eye on. I bring up 575 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: Arkansas because we're going to talk some coaches. Twenty nine 576 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: new head coaches in FBS this year. One of them 577 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: is Sam Pittman, who wasn't against the spread Darling not 578 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: in the not so distant past, but I would say 579 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: he's definitely on the hot seat. Colin, what's he have 580 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: to do to keep his job? And as an Arkansas fan, 581 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: do you want him to? 582 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 5: They have seven games before it's a good one. From 583 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 5: a personal level, I've never been more happy to have 584 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 5: him as a head coach in representing our state. 585 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: But this is a gambling podcast. 586 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 5: I believe we have seven games before we get to 587 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 5: a bye We have a bye week before we get 588 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 5: to November, and I would say that's not a five 589 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 5: hundred record. Before that November schedule starts, you're going to 590 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 5: see interims. Yeah, you're gonna see interim Bobby motherfucker Petrino 591 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 5: as the new interim head coach for the rest of 592 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 5: the season. Now, you know, Pittman, I think a lot 593 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 5: of the chatter that usually you don't hear head coaches 594 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 5: respond to the chatter that's going on off the field. 595 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 5: With those losses that we had last year and how 596 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 5: bad the offense was going under Dan Enos who had 597 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 5: to be fired, it really took a lot out of Pittman, 598 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 5: and he was very open about that in his press 599 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 5: conferences about how it's affecting his players. 600 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: It's affecting him. 601 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 5: He talked about mental health about you know, people making 602 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 5: fun of his weight, people making fun of some of 603 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 5: the kids on his team for the plays. 604 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: That they had. When you lose, if you listen to. 605 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 5: The chatter, it's going to get to you. Now, I 606 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 5: think the roster is head and beyond, head and toe 607 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 5: above what we had last year. Defensive, the defense is better, 608 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 5: Taylor Green at quarterback is going to be fantastic, and 609 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 5: Bobby Patrino running that offense, to me, is going to 610 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 5: be worth three wins on the schedule alone from above 611 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 5: what you think that they had last year. 612 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: So I think it's an excellent situation. 613 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 5: It's really strange because if you just put Pittman in 614 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 5: a silo, you'd say this whole thing's going down. You 615 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 5: put Patrino in a silo with that offense and you 616 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 5: think it's going up. So it's definitely a very weird 617 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 5: situation that's going on. But if Arkansas is not at 618 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 5: five hundred or better by before that November by week, 619 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 5: it's over for Pittman. 620 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 2: You will have enterm Bobby Patrino. 621 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I hope they are. We'll talk a 622 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: lot more about arts on the SEC for you. But 623 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: the hope there is that Petruno with his play calling 624 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: prowess gets the offense going and Pittman cant more focus 625 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, which is especially but it really 626 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: fell off especially last year. They need much better pass 627 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: protection up front, which will be a key to their season, Brett, 628 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: any coaches that you want to mention that are clearly 629 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: on the hot seat that need results, one of them 630 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: with really tough schedule, I would assume is Billy Napier Down. 631 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 4: Say his name, say his name, his name. Uh yeah, 632 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 4: it's unfortunate. 633 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: You know. 634 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 4: I was in Destined for the SEC spring meetings and 635 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 4: talk to talk to Billy. I talked to Scott Strickland 636 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 4: at Florida A D. And I asked him, you know, 637 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 4: is is the is a win loss record? Are there 638 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 4: are more important things in a win loss record? Is 639 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 4: that the only way to judge success? And you know 640 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 4: they kind of said, you know, there are more things. 641 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 4: At bottom line, you got to win. And yeah, you 642 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 4: talk about his scheduled. You know, everybody, if you don't 643 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 4: know it, you should haven't memorized. Their final five games 644 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 4: is the hardest stretch like ever in the history of 645 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 4: college football. Georgia at Texas lsu Ole, Miss at Florida State. 646 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 4: All those teams are going to be top top fifteen 647 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 4: preseason and oh, by the way, they open with Miami 648 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 4: that's going to be top twenty. They've got Tennessee, They've 649 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 4: got UCF in the middle of all that, who that'll 650 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 4: be a huge game for the Nights. Yeah, I don't 651 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 4: I don't know how he can get the six. If 652 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 4: he should, they should give him the freaking extension because 653 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: with that schedule, it's really really going to be tough. Also, 654 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 4: Dave Randa did Baylor you know Colin and I you know, 655 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 4: saw him down in are up in Vegas at Big 656 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 4: twelve Medy Days, and uh, you know, I think anytime 657 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 4: you change your philosophy on offense or defense and do 658 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 4: a total one, which is what he did, and now 659 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 4: he's also going to be calling the defense. You know 660 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 4: how challenging it will that be for a head coach 661 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 4: with everything going on, and now you're going to be 662 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 4: go back to calling defensive plays. I think that's a 663 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 4: sign that you know, it's either win or where else. 664 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 2: It's like Neil Brown right right, a year. 665 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 5: Ago, we're sitting here, West Virginia has a four and 666 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 5: a half win total, They've been voted as the very 667 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 5: last team in the Big twelve poll, and he comes 668 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 5: out and says, I'm taking control of the offense and 669 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 5: I'm calling the plays. They win nine games and now 670 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 5: they are definitely in the race. 671 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 2: To win the Big twelve. 672 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 5: But Miranda, you know he's going to call the plays 673 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 5: on defense, and I'm not sure that's a great thing 674 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 5: for Baylor because last time you called defense as you 675 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 5: were at LSU, you called seven different schemes personnel. I 676 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 5: mean you were running two man fronts, three man to 677 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 5: four man. I mean it was the craziest playbook that 678 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 5: was very complex for some of these kids to grasp. 679 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 5: And now you're going to take a Matt Palach three three, 680 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 5: five and you're going to completely make it too complex. 681 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 5: And I don't know if these players anna be ready 682 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 5: for that. Randa, I think is the number one coach 683 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 5: on the hot seat. 684 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: One other one I'll throw out to you, bright curious 685 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: in your thoughts. Here a team that would that has 686 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: never made the Collegebable Playoff, that would have made plenty. 687 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't know the exact number. I'm doing an XR 688 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: is now to figure out to go through and for 689 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: futures going back. I don't know how far I'm going 690 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: to go back, but Penn State. So you know, this 691 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: is a team that generally their whole season was what 692 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: two games, and they could never it could never get 693 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: over the hump. James Franklin three and seventeen. I believe 694 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: against top ten teams at Penn State, I just could 695 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: never beat Ohio State. Penn State couldn't beat the top 696 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: ten teams. They're favored to go to the College Table Playoff. 697 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: Really interesting. You know, Penn State's one of the most 698 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: intriguing teams in college football in my opinion this year 699 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: because Drew Hour he's gonna be He's gonna be like, 700 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna be loved by NFL scouts because of his size, 701 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: of his arm, talent. Can he make the reads? Can 702 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: he progress in his second year? And I love the 703 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator higher cold to Nicky from Kansas. What can 704 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: he bring to that offense? There's still some questions on 705 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line, some defensive pieces can do They have 706 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: the receivers to really unlock the potential of that offense. 707 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: But Franklin, if he, you know, if he doesn't get 708 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: to the Collegeball Playoff this year with his team, his 709 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: seat start to get hot. I mean, how many years 710 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: are Pennce defense gonna put up with this? It was 711 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: always you know, now it's like our twelve teams. So 712 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: Penn State's got to make it. If they don't like 713 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: how much more can they put up with it? 714 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 4: Stuck? Understand what you're saying, But I don't know, there's 715 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 4: no ways on the hot seat. I mean, he's the 716 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 4: last seven years, he's had five double digit win seasons, 717 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 4: not including the COVID year. Never had a losing season 718 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 4: at Penn State except for four and five during COVID. Yeah, 719 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 4: he hasn't won games against Michigan and Ohio. Say you 720 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 4: said three and seventeen. I didn't know he had won three, 721 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 4: to be honest, you know, but you know, it's kind 722 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 4: of like not comparing him to Harball. But Harbaugh for 723 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 4: a long time could not beat Ohio State, could not 724 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 4: get over the hump, but he still was successful and 725 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 4: then finally he broke through the wall and had some success. 726 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 4: So if Penn State, if Penn State goes eight and 727 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 4: four and doesn't get the devile digit wins, yeah, I 728 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 4: think there will be some increased heat. But in no 729 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 4: way would he be on the hot seat. 730 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: Now. 731 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 4: We were talking about consecutive seasons not getting to the 732 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 4: college football Playoff in three or four from the Big 733 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 4: Tanner getting in the college football playoff every year, maybe 734 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 4: that changes things, But I think he's built up enough 735 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 4: equity now and I understand there may be some frustrations 736 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 4: with folks in State College, but I think we're a 737 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 4: few years off before Franklin's seat starts warm up. 738 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 5: They gotta let cotal Nick you start calling third and 739 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 5: fourth down, third and short, fourth and short. You've got 740 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 5: to start letting your coordinator. He HiT's what you're paying 741 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 5: him for. Quit making the decisions and taking the you know, 742 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 5: taking it out of her. 743 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 4: And that's a that's a huge hire. He was incredible 744 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 4: with Kansas. Talked to Lance Lighte Pold and I just 745 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 4: wanted to make sure that I was correct on this. 746 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 4: But Lance did not call the plays last year, and 747 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 4: so that's going to be big for Penn State. They're 748 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 4: getting an incredible offensive coordinator. But yes, Stuck, I understand 749 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 4: why there's you know, fans are frustrated and will the 750 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 4: offense improve? It should, but you know we'll find out. 751 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 5: We can't leave this segment without asking Stucky about his 752 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 5: backyard for coaches hot seats because it's not the hottest. 753 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 5: But when you flirt with Texas A and M what 754 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 5: I mean. I think Mark Stoops made it a tremendous 755 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 5: hire on offense. We'll talk about that later, But. 756 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 2: I don't know. 757 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,919 Speaker 5: Does he need to produce something better than a seven 758 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 5: win season to get that Texas A and imflirtation out 759 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 5: of there. 760 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 1: No, it's it's no stops can say. 761 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 4: Students can stay there until the end of time. He is. Yeah, 762 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 4: he's got the best. He does have literally the best 763 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 4: job in America. And that's not being disrespectful to him. 764 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 4: I think he's a great coach. What he's done there 765 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 4: compared with the resources he's going up against. He will 766 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 4: stay there forever. 767 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: There's yeaheah, there's there's not the same pressure on the 768 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: football team here. Seven wins is is fine in the sec. Yeah, 769 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it's on the hot seat now. If 770 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't make the casual could potentially start to warm 771 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: up a little bit close out. Oh you mentioned Harball. 772 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. My memory 773 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: is a little murky, but do you remember that game 774 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: Michigan when they beat Rutgers in like three overtimes like 775 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: three years ago? Do you remember that game? 776 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 4: I remember Oti versus Rutgers. 777 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know if one the three, but 778 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: it was in overtime. Michigan was really like, if they 779 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: lost that game, it was hardball potentially gone. And then 780 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: what happens from there. I don't know, crazy revision revisionist 781 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: history thought experiment, but. 782 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 5: If you look at the suspension from last year, they 783 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 5: would have been fine because they was shown more at 784 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 5: the home they were absolutely okay. 785 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:20,919 Speaker 1: Yep. 786 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 4: Uh. 787 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: So let's uh before we close up part one, let's uh, 788 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: we'll do coaches and then coordinators. You can go wherever 789 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: you want with this just mention a coaching higher head coach. 790 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: We'll start with that. You like eight are intrigued by 791 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 1: really wherever you want to go with it. I'll start. 792 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 1: I'll say I really like Tulane hiring John Summerl from Troy. 793 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 1: You know, after they lost Fritz. There's with these pro 794 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: these group of five teams, you lose a head, a 795 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: really good head coach who had a lot of success. 796 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: Then you see guys at the portal, there's you know, 797 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: you're at risk of your program just cratering, and I 798 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: think bringing in some raw can you know, keep them 799 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: at least on par with where they've been. I thought 800 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: that was a really good hire. And then Texas A 801 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: and M I love Mike Elco. He's always done more 802 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: with less. Now he has more. And you know our 803 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: thoughts on Jimbo Fisher he had to go. I think 804 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: it's an enormous upgrade. I love his staff. I think 805 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: Texas A and M has a lot of potential. With Elco, 806 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: I absolutely love both of those hires. Colin will go 807 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: to you any head coaching higers you want to talk about. 808 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 5: I've got a lot here, a lot of opinions here. 809 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 5: It hurts Signetti at Indiana is turning heads, making waves 810 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 5: with some of the things he says. But the deal 811 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 5: is is he's going to back it up completely. You 812 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 5: know that the Hoosiers they won the portal. In some 813 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 5: situations somehow they have nil money. They're wearing some kids in. 814 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 5: Everybody's behind Signetti here doing this. And you know, don't 815 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 5: sleep on James Madison. You know the team that he left. 816 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,240 Speaker 5: Bob Chesney left Assumption after having two eleven win seasons. 817 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 5: He goes to Holy Cross turning heads last year and 818 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 5: some FBS games are and they produced ten and twelve 819 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 5: win seasons before Bob Chesney moved up to JMU. So 820 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 5: don't take your eyes off either of those situations. 821 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Indiana a really intriguing team this year. Signetti had 822 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: a ton of success. Hell of a coach. But it's 823 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: you see this in college of basketball too. There's a 824 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: lot of teams in college football this year that and 825 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: you see this. When a new coach comes in from 826 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: the Group of five level, they bring a lot of 827 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 1: guys with them from their old team. And you saw 828 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: this with JMU. I mean I think he brought what 829 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: he brought ten eleven guys from that JMU team, some 830 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: ODU guys as well. You know, kids with all conference 831 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: accolades that have experience, but how do they translate to 832 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: the next level to the Big ten? Right college basketball, 833 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: you'll see a kid who went off at Northern Colorado 834 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: all the time he Trent and sometimes he works out 835 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: like connect but sometimes, you know, more oftentimes than not, 836 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't work out. Trying to figure that out one 837 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: of the biggest things that I work on in the offseason. Brett, 838 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: any head coaching, how are you want to talk about. 839 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 4: You stole it stuck Mike Elco, You're right, everything he 840 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 4: said is dead on. He's going to be a calming 841 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 4: influence to that program. He was a defensive coordinator. You 842 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 4: know how he knows how the school operates. Anybody that 843 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 4: can go sixteen to nine at Duke is going to 844 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 4: be successful. And yeah, they open with Notre Dame. If 845 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 4: they win that game, this could be a huge year 846 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,919 Speaker 4: in his debut for the agis yep. 847 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 5: And then let's get a negativity on this podcast though. 848 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 5: Let's I mean Tony Sanchez. Tony Sanchez is now in 849 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 5: New Mexico State. I mean, after what happened at UNLV 850 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 5: was just a complete disaster and you're trying to follow 851 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 5: up Jerry Kill and Diego Pavia Mexico State. No, thank 852 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 5: you so that. I mean, that's one of them that 853 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 5: just really opened up my eyes. Now, on a positive note, 854 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 5: there's no way we're getting out of this podcastsco State 855 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,439 Speaker 5: under I agree, Yeah, there's there's no way we're leaving 856 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 5: this podcast unless we mentioned that Sean Lewis is now 857 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 5: as tech Fast at San Diego State and the overs 858 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 5: that everybody likes to we are back. 859 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 3: Baby as tech overs. 860 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: Oh boy, I was thinking you were gonna go Contrarion, 861 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: now you're gonna go Sandy. Yeah. San Diego State at 862 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: their defense could be a mess. Uh, their punning is 863 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: going to take a big step back. Their pickoff unit 864 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 1: could be bad, and they're gonna go really fast on offense. 865 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 4: Stuck, and you were talking about you were talking about 866 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 4: the portal. San Diego State lost three starting offensive linemen 867 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,760 Speaker 4: the Power four programs in the off season. 868 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: Yep. And finally we'll close out with thoughts on a coordinator. 869 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go off the beaten path here and go 870 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: to I don't know if his name is pronounced. I 871 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't know this, but uh, if it's I think 872 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: it's Chronic, But I think it's true Chronic who's hired 873 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator at Navy. I am fascinated to 874 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: see this offense. They kind of went away from the 875 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: triple option. Now they're going to I love you. Everyone 876 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: that listens to this podcast knows I love service academies 877 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: and the triple option. They're going to the Delaware wing tea, 878 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 1: which I believe it or not, was actually originated in Maine, 879 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: but it was ran at the University of Delaware for 880 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: like fifty years. And Chronic his dad was a you know, 881 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: coach this forever and he's going to marry you know, 882 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: kind of this the way It's kind of like marrying 883 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: the spread option with the triple option. I am fascinated 884 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: to see how it goes. I know a lot about 885 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: that offense, and I'm curious to see how it all 886 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: works out. So I'm glad that I wish, like you said, 887 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: kennes Saw State was running the triple Ken went out 888 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: and took the head coaching job at San Jose State. 889 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: They're not going to run the triple need more triple options, 890 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: especially as these teams fall behind and talent. That is 891 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: how you equalize team triple option. But I'm really fascinated 892 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: to see how this Navy offense looks. The one thing 893 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: that I do hate for Navy just getting a little 894 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: in the weeds. But so they're going to have this 895 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: new looking offense. I think in the spring they said 896 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: they only installed like twenty five percent of it. These 897 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: teams they don't really show much in their in their 898 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: spring games anyway. But Navy starts out with Bucknell at 899 00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 1: home and then Temple at home. Temple is dreadful. So 900 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 1: like I would from a Navy if I was a 901 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: fan of Navy, I would want them to play like 902 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 1: a really good opponent on their schedule early right, because 903 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 1: you have this element of surprise. So maybe they just 904 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,919 Speaker 1: hold stuff back against these but it's still a service 905 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: kind you could lose to anybody. So I don't think 906 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 1: the schedule work in their favor with unveiling this new offense. 907 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: But more on Navy later. Calm any coordinator you want 908 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 1: to mention. 909 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's get negative on this podcast. Walt Bell is 910 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 5: the offensive coordinator for Western Michigan. Where has he ever 911 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 5: worked out? I think he was essentially chased out of 912 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 5: town at Florida State. I think he almost got in 913 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,959 Speaker 5: a fist fight with a player at UMass. It didn't 914 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 5: go well in Indiana. So you're looking for points at 915 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 5: Western Michigan. I don't think we're going to get it there. 916 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 5: I still don't know. 917 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 2: How I would you. 918 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm starting to do my macwork. I'm 919 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: considering Western Michigan features. I have all my notes from 920 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: Western Michigan, which are like five pages, and at the 921 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: end I just said, so I have them considered. But 922 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 1: I said, I no joke, I've written, but Walt Bell, 923 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 1: so end up I could just end up keeping me off. 924 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 1: But the Broncket is under consideration. Wal Bell is definitely 925 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: a potential hurdle that have to get over. 926 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, big hurdle, six foot hurdle. 927 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 5: So I think on a positive note quietly, Ryan Gunderson 928 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 5: being the offensive coordinator at Oregon State is a great hire. 929 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 2: When he was hired as. 930 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 5: Quarterback coach at UCLA, all of a sudden, Dorian Thompson 931 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 5: Robinson completely trimmed down all his turnover worth he plays. 932 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 5: He is a great quarterback coach. I think he's a 933 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 5: good addition for Oregon State. And you know, from the 934 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 5: defensive side, de'anton Lynn is going to take a USC 935 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 5: defense that was horrific in tackling one of the worst 936 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 5: of the nation. If he gets them to mid FBS 937 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 5: seventy five, eightieth ranking, that's going to be huge for USC. 938 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 5: Just to line up correctly and tackle is going to 939 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 5: help that defense tremendously. And then you know, I'll go 940 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 5: I'll go big here. Alabama getting Kane Wollmack, I mean, 941 00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 5: what a superb higher shuts down Oklahoma State last year, 942 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 5: like South Alabama is a serious problem for some teams. 943 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 5: He's a recruiting genius that was a great hire. And oh, 944 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 5: by the way, don't forget g Off our friend Jeff Collins, 945 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,800 Speaker 5: he's back. He's now the defensive coordinator for Mac Brown. 946 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 5: That's one to keep an eye on. 947 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Kalen de Bor, great Hire and don't sleep on him. 948 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 1: Don't just right off Alabama. All that guy does is 949 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,840 Speaker 1: cover and exceed expectations. Brett. Any coordinator you want. 950 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 4: To mention, Yeah, I've got three of them real quick. 951 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 4: Colin mentioned one. They're all from the Big Ten. Fourteen 952 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 4: of the eighteen Big Ten teams either have a new 953 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 4: offensive or defensive coordinator. Obviously Alex Grinch has gone at 954 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:45,800 Speaker 4: USC Lynn and Henderson replace him. Ohio State Chip Kelly, 955 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 4: it goes from UCLA head coach, and now he's back 956 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 4: working with Ryan Day. He coached Ryan Day when Chip 957 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 4: Kelly was at New Hampshire. I actually covered a game 958 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 4: when he was an offensive coordinator against drum Roll. Of course, 959 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 4: you know USF, so that would Kennea Matalola told told 960 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 4: me the other day that he wasn't surprised Kelly left UCLA. 961 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 4: He wants to coach. He called him a football savant. Obviously, 962 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 4: all the pressure in the world you're talking about James 963 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 4: Franklin pressure, how about Ryan Day pressure? So how will 964 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 4: Chip Kelly do and guys, how could you know? I 965 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 4: thought you guys were like football insiders. You guys know anything? 966 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 4: How did you miss this one? Him? Lester is the 967 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 4: new offensive coordinator at Iowa. What is going to happen 968 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 4: with the Hawkeys offense with no more Brian Farrens? 969 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to bring that up the Big Ten. 970 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: It's obviously very top heavy, as it usually is, but 971 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: there are fascinating storylines for almost every team we mentioned Indiana, 972 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: what will Signetty do with all the transfers he brought in? 973 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: And also finally not a completely oppressive schedule with the 974 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: new Big Ten. Same with Rutgers. I don't know if 975 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: they have the quarterback, but Rutgers finally doesn't have like 976 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: the fourth hardest schedule in the country where they have 977 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 1: a guaranteed four or five losses. And then the coordinators. 978 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: What will usc look like with a much better defensive coordinator? 979 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 1: What will they look like on that side of the ball? 980 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: And what will Iowa look like in the post parents era? 981 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 1: Will Kirk let him cook? Is it going to be 982 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 1: the same Iowa? But yeah, those are two teams you 983 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: look over the past few years. What is held back Iowa. 984 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: It's been their offense. Go out and make an offensive 985 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 1: coordinator change finally, and what has held back USC, it's 986 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: been their defense. You go out and you finally get 987 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: rid of Grinch and bring in a really good one 988 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 1: and Lynn. Those are two fascinating storylines, so I'm glad 989 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,280 Speaker 1: you brought those up. Con any final thoughts on those. 990 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,239 Speaker 5: I don't agree with the fact the Sunny Dykes hired 991 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 5: Andy Aviolis to come in to be the defensive coordinator 992 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 5: after dismissing Jogo lest we love Jogo, lest we love 993 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 5: the three three five didn't get it done last year, 994 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 5: Sonny let him go. Andy Aviols comes in, runs a 995 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 5: strict four two five. They hired him to change to 996 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,760 Speaker 5: a four man front, and then Demonic Williams nose tackle 997 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 5: one of the best, I'd say one of the best 998 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 5: in the nation, hit the portal left TCU and he's 999 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 5: now at OU and Abolos is going to stick with 1000 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 5: the four man front. I'm not sure that they have 1001 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 5: the depth to pull that off. So that one really 1002 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 5: has me shaking or scratching my head. And then I 1003 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,360 Speaker 5: think the hot name in the margue that nobody's talking 1004 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 5: about as shield would he was a two lane defensive coordinator, 1005 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:30,359 Speaker 5: had some stops before that where he's extremely successful. You know, 1006 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 5: Willie Fritz thinks that he's going to be an head 1007 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,439 Speaker 5: coach very soon and that he is an all star 1008 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 5: when it comes to defensive coordinators. 1009 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,919 Speaker 2: So I would keep that in mind. 1010 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 5: And then finally, if you know, Matt Wells getting the 1011 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 5: co position at Kansas State is a great thing for 1012 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 5: Avery Johnson at quarterback, Matt Wells was responsible for Jordan 1013 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 5: Love twenty eighteen at Utah State and him busting onto 1014 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 5: the scene. And if you need any proof that Matt 1015 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 5: Wells is that good, look at Jordan Love's numbers twenty 1016 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 5: nineteen at Utah State. They were horrendous, and that Matt 1017 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 5: Willis has a lot a big track record. Last one 1018 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,839 Speaker 5: I'll say is in your backyard. I think the hire 1019 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:05,879 Speaker 5: of Bush Hampden at. 1020 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 2: Kentucky was fantastic. 1021 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 5: He did not fit at Boise. He likes a slow 1022 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 5: developing type offensive playset. He's not all about tempo. This 1023 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 5: is a perfect offense for Kentucky and what they want 1024 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,280 Speaker 5: to do. It wasn't for Boise. 1025 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 1: Love it all right. It seems like a good place 1026 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,280 Speaker 1: to stop and on July twelfth in the evening, someone's 1027 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: either listening to our podcast or producers are hitting the market. 1028 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: UTSA steaming out a little bit against tennessall State on 1029 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 1: July twelfth, per Week one. Love to see it all right, 1030 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: that'll do it for us.
