It just had to you know, 14 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.600 as you said, you know, you got to write up contracts and stuff 15 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.960 like that. Yeah. Have you heard anything about details and money? Yeah, 16 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.679 no, you have a five year deal though, and they've got a 17 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.439 guy that could have easily hired three years ago, but for whatever reason, 18 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.040 maybe a president or so well that a lot of fans thought they should have 19 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.799 hired three years ago. But you know what, and we'll talk about a 20 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.719 lot of things today. I will talk about the Twitter world that you've lived 21 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.359 in the last few Yeah, but we'll get to that later. I saw 22 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.959 we talked about Jed yesterday, all of us, right, I don't I 23 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.000 don't don't like Jed. I don't know Jed in fact coming in for three 24 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.439 years because we don't get clost to the guys. I like him. You 25 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.599 know, he did what he had to do. Good luck to you. 26 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:42.200 I'm you know, I'm not bemoaning him the fact that he took the job. 27 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.480 I don't have problem with him tiking the job. It's the how and 28 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.239 and and and the things that he did and said while he was here about 29 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.799 that. You know, if he had if he had said what he said 30 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.959 in his press conference today, right right, if he had what he said 31 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.040 his press conference today about whether he's at his destination, if he had said 32 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.439 that three years ago and he left today, no problem. What he did 33 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.639 was he came and he and he got this community to buy into him and 34 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:14.960 his family making twos on their home. We're here, we want to be 35 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.520 here, we can we can build this thing here and then leaving at the 36 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.120 first great job that came his way. That's the problem that people have with 37 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.639 it. Yeah, and that's fine. I mean, come on, I'm 38 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.240 sure you've you've looked at a girl or something before you were married. He 39 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.960 said, oh wow, and then oh wow, but yeah you ended up 40 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.199 being married. Uh, more power to more power to him. Good luck 41 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:38.360 with that. Look, I had something to say, but just us, 42 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.400 Well, look, you know, certainly you know, based on who he's 43 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.680 been, all right, And he said it today, said every job I've 44 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.960 taken was intended to get me in a better place towards winning the National championship 45 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.639 or winning a Super Bowl. Sure, I got no problem with that. 46 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.360 We all took jobs to get the next great job. Sure you know. 47 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.800 Now I personally decided to stay in Tucson. You know, you've got some 48 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.360 great jobs. But I've had some great jobs locally, and I did take 49 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.319 better jobs or took other I took a job from there. Something I wanted 50 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.719 to be a reporter for life. But I did. I didn't feel like 51 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.599 I was getting paid well enough, and a job came up right where I 52 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.680 got a fifty percent raise in my salary. I had no idea if I 53 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.360 could do that job, but I took it right, and we and the 54 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.639 rest is history. And my point is I would rather have loved than never 55 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.439 have loved before because he got the fans, not me, fans to a 56 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.120 great place today. Now they know they're capable, but to a point that 57 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.000 we've talked about at nauseum. You have to sustain that consistency and we'll see 58 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.039 if he does. And seeing that's the thing that people are upset there. 59 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.639 Well, he he had this great team that he was going to have next 60 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.520 year. Okay, he did, but you know this other program came along 61 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.919 that just went you know, played for a national championship and they wanted him 62 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.159 and they wanted him bad, so he took it. So no problem with 63 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.120 that. So, kid, Kevin, you're at a parking parking spot and 64 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.879 you have I can't don't know what kind of car you have. A nice 65 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.719 car, right, a nice car, up to date car, and a 66 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.919 nice red Mercedes drives up next to you. You're thinking, I love to 67 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.959 drive that car. It happened yesterday. Actually, yeah, literally happened yesterday. 68 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.160 And wouldn't you love to drive that car if you had the opportunity? 69 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.759 Possibly? Yeah, it was a sports car. I'm a taller guy, 70 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.360 So I was like, you understand my point, Given the chance, you're 71 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.240 jumping on that bend way, you're jumping in that car. Yeah, And 72 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.600 I do think that it is what Jay was saying earlier about how not many 73 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.560 Arizona fans are upset that he took the job for the more money. They're 74 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.439 upset that the video, you know, was released in the way that it 75 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.600 was, that the statement seemed you know, maybe AI generated even Yeah, 76 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.600 it just heartless. It was. So now you're San Jose fan, right, 77 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.000 and you're seeing that another your coach has been poached from somewhere else. 78 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.360 How do you feel, Well, they know more than Arizona fan knows that 79 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:06.279 they're a stepping stone place they should they should and you know, uh, 80 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:14.800 they and the minute the minute Jetfish became a candidate at Washington, they had 81 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.000 to know that that's where Arizona was coming. So so Jay, are giving 82 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.600 you one hundred fans UA fans that you sit next to or are in the 83 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.000 football stadium. Of those hundred fans, how many believe that they're a stepping 84 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:34.120 stone program m maybe half so fIF So you're still telling you fifty percent of 85 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.879 them. Yeah, don't think they think this is the destination place? Oh 86 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.720 yeah, what do they think? Because because they love the place and they 87 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.800 think anybody who comes here, how could they ever want to leave? I 88 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.279 know those people, right, how could you ever want to leave Tucson? 89 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.279 Why would you want to go live in Seattle? It rains all the time? 90 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.839 Why would you want to go live in the Bay Area? They're living 91 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.120 on top of each other. Why would you go live want to live in 92 00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.560 La They have horrible traffic. Tucson is better than all those places. People 93 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:01.920 in say that will say, you know why? They have no snakes, 94 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:09.560 they have no scorpions, There's there's water in the rivers. You can't fry 95 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.959 on your car in April. No, no, I think, I say, 96 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.079 And that's and it's and And to me, that's the essence of why 97 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.120 people are so offended that Jed would leave is because they're like, he came 98 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.240 here, he saw how cool this place is and how pretty it is, 99 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.480 and what a great place to live is and yet he got word away by 100 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.519 money. Well, of course he did. Not a bad place. It's 101 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.199 it's place. Okay, So enough about Jed. Let's move on to to 102 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.800 to the guy they hired, Brenton Brennant. They had a chance to get 103 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.399 him three years ago. I think that we're gonna kind of return to some 104 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.759 normalcy. If we didn't have it with Jed, I think we quite did. 105 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.360 But now we've got to see how he rebuilds who he brings on. 106 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.079 Uh. There reports about some people coming back maybe, which is fantastic news 107 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.959 if they you know, and what's become a key to all of these higher 108 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.399 right is how much how much of your roster? You know? Jed fish 109 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.959 talked about that in his press conference. You know they're got, you know 110 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.920 they've got He said, they've got something like seventeen players in the portal, 111 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.920 and then another another ten have declared for the NFL. That's twenty seven guys, 112 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.839 he said, you know, a key because of the environment that we're 113 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.839 in now. When the coach gets hired, now, the question is how 114 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.160 many of your players can you keep? You know, I've seen a couple 115 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.560 of guys that jumped in Feesian's price. Sock jumped in today, Jonah Coleman 116 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.920 jumped in yesterday, but nobody else has the other quarterback, the other quarterback, 117 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.199 oh, the other court right, but but the other quarterback said, 118 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.680 you know, I could come back. I just you know, it was 119 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.079 one of those things where he's just who which the quarterback, the backup, 120 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.240 the dormant, Yeah, dormant. He said that. Okay, Okay, 121 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.839 yeah, he said that. In his statement he said, I'm not I'm 122 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.000 not something like, you know, I'm not ruling out coming back. Okay. 123 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.439 Cool. And then we hear from and I take this seriously because we've 124 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.680 had him on the show. I think the world of Dennis Todd, a 125 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.639 reputable guy who knows what he's doing. That he says, there's a possibility 126 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.040 that he's hearing, Yeah, he's hearing. That's a good way that Fafida 127 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.600 and the McMillan will come back, right, And and you know, and 128 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:20.079 look, I am I'm so glad, okay, after what happened that we 129 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.759 got stuck with Kevin Sumlin, that Dave Heikey did not let players' opinions, 130 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.000 your player's choice, yeah, get in the way of hiring a guy that 131 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.720 you know they want, they wanted to hire for the long term. I 132 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.279 mean, yes, if you bring in Johnny Nansen and the players stay okay, 133 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.679 those players are gone in two years or less, and then what if 134 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.440 he's not a good coach, We're back where we were. He had to 135 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.000 go get the best coach, the guy he thought was the best fit for 136 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.559 this job. And you know, again, we thought Brent Brandon was the 137 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.840 guy two years ago. Let him come here. You know, as we 138 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.360 were saying, you know, off air, you know, no off of 139 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.279 FIDA and the all the survey guys and a whole bunch of other guys took 140 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.960 a chance on Arizona. Yes, they took a chance on Jetfish, but 141 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.600 they also took a chance on Arizona. They're the kind of if they're the 142 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.879 kind of guys who would do that, I would think they're the kind of 143 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.600 guys who would take a look before jumping automatic. You know, if they're 144 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.399 gonna they're gonna want to meet Brannan, want to see what this is gonna 145 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.919 be like. And you know what, if it doesn't look like it's a 146 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.000 good fit for them, then go well, I think let's assume for a 147 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.039 second, everybody wants to be happy. The place that they're gonna be Seattle. 148 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.360 They go to Seattle. I think it's safe to see that Washington's gonna 149 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.679 struggle next year in their conference. Arizona if they stay, if they stay, 150 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.679 should be another favorite. Pretty good and still pretty good and still catch 151 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.679 balls, throw balls, passes. They're not gonna be any different. Brent 152 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.559 Brannan can coach. You know, uh, you know, uh, you 153 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.360 know, I've been hearing different different things from different people. You know, 154 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.559 is he good enough? Is he the guy? He said? Well, 155 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.000 I know, I know one thing. You want two conference championships at San 156 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.480 Jose Stay easy. Name the last Arizona football coach to win the conference championship? 157 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.080 Wait? That was That was my biggest thing last night. I read 158 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.480 the athletics piece about Brent Brennan and I was like, wait, this is 159 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.279 the guy that had the fundraise to get his athlete's breakfast at the facility, 160 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.799 and you think he can't do better, even better than what he did to 161 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.840 San Jose State, with more to focused on just coaching, more focus on 162 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.480 just development. That's the thing about people. If you've been in a smaller 163 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.360 place and when how are you going to move up? People do? People 164 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.440 do? People are throwing out Brendan's seven year record, which is a losing 165 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.080 record. Have you checked Jed Fish's winning, winning record, one last record? 166 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.200 And like we said yesterday, and it was pointed out, Washington's taking 167 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.320 a big leap on him for that huge season, for that one season address 168 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.840 because we don't even know if Jed was going to be able to win here 169 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.440 next year to sustain this, and now they've taken him and like, all 170 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:56.000 right, man, you know, let the buyer beware. No, exactly 171 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.759 exactly. I think it's the perfect hire for the situation. Wation Uh Now, 172 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.320 he just those two guys have to stay. Those two guys have to 173 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.039 stay, and the other guys stay around him. I think they're gonna be 174 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.759 okay, They're gonna be okay. Right then, another a big piece of 175 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.679 why you know Jed, you know, was able to get the community behind 176 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.399 him, was what he did with the alumni, right right right? Well 177 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.639 isn't that a no brainer? Though? Yeah? I mean, you know, 178 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.240 Brandon has been here, I went, you know, his his his 179 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.759 his talk at Dick Tomy's memorial came up on social media and I watched it. 180 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.000 I got goose bumps. Yeah, well, I had my story and 181 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.440 we're gonna have him on the show. Artiez Jenkins called check with him yesterday. 182 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.879 He's glad to be on the show. He was made a tweet. 183 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.480 I put it in my story that he was here when Brendan was fast as 184 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.559 as as a coach, he's all in. We're gonna have Lomont and as 185 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.759 well to talk about what the situation is from older the older crowd. So 186 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.159 I'm looking forward to the ex guys because we had a lot of X guys 187 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.879 had a lot of coming right. Yeah, So I think it's gonna be 188 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.799 all positive. I think so. I think I think people will be happy 189 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.679 with the hire. You've got people out there saying one saying he hasn't won 190 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.200 enough, so we shouldn't be at Arizona. Well who the hell do you 191 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.679 think? Yeah? Not him? Who? Right? And then and then 192 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.519 and then uh you know second, well, they've hired Brent Brand and everybody's 193 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.759 leaving. I don't hear the door slamming. Who's Who's Just on social media 194 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.320 it's like people I said this on Twitter or Twitter or Facebook today, these 195 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.799 are fans, right, yeah, come up posting either you're a financial fan 196 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.120 buying tickets, giving money, yea, yea, or you're just a verbal 197 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.399 dude saying that I don't like to hire. Well, why don't you well 198 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.399 not even go to the games. If you don't go to games, what 199 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.200 the hell? Yeah? Look, and knowing our fans, knowing the fans 200 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.559 here here in Tucson, Yeah, they're they're gonna go back into a wait 201 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.360 and see mo Right. I think I too, right. I think I 202 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.799 think Arizona was poised to have a you know, a good uh year of 203 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.279 you know, tickets and attendant and so like that next year, assuming the 204 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.480 program you know, kept going to the shot. But now it's kind of 205 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.200 like, okay, let's take a step back. I'm gonna wait a couple 206 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.000 of years to see if he can do this or maybe by the end of 207 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.799 next season. Right, if they're if we're doing well, they're gonna wait 208 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.639 and see again. Sure, and that's unfortunate, but that's who the fans 209 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.559 are here in TUSA. Who's you know. I don't fault them for that. 210 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.840 But I also think that it's like the guys who who on Twitter or 211 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.240 whatever four years ago say well, I'm not gonna start watching sports. I'm 212 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.159 not a sports fan anymore because all the politics is going on. I guess 213 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.960 what, they were still watching you, They were still watching them, paying 214 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.080 attention. I'm not gonna go to you with a football caps. You don't 215 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.919 what dell bey there. I saw you on TikTok throwing your TV's out the 216 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.159 backyard at the Cowboys a lot, right, you could talk all the crap 217 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.080 you want. I guess what did you just say? I even tell those 218 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.840 guys that are my friends. I thought you weren't paying attention to the Raiders 219 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.399 or the Cowboys. I was sorry. I wasn't. I couldn't watch on 220 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.080 account of me throwing my team across the room. You're right, Can I 221 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.679 come up to the house? No, No, you can't.

They needed to get this done quickly, right and 224 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.159 and and and and give it and give it to Dave He can I assume 225 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.799 you presume, Robbie Robbins, that they acted quickly, they acted decisively, 226 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.960 and to give them the best chance of holding this thing together.

Hey, welcome back to you on the 310 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.680 ball here on Fox. What's fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Riverta. He's Jaginsaus. 311 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.039 Now on the phone. We have Lamont Hundley, former ua A football 312 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.400 player, one of our great sponsors. Lamont, how are you? I'm 313 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.160 good? Get them? I how you guys? And I know everybody got 314 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.640 to hit. They're falled out in wonder room. What what's up? At 315 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.119 least we kind of know not that the chapter, or the chapter has closed, 316 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.359 or we're moving on. But a lot of things have happened. Let's 317 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.880 start. Let's start at at the most recent right, Brendan's coming in. 318 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:02.720 What do you think? You know? I got very little little bit of 319 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.359 true history in regards to him as a coach, you know, I know, 320 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.079 history him in regards relationship of traditions with with coach Tony and maybe some 321 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.519 of the guys that was here at the time when he was a GA here 322 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.200 on the staff. Those things that I'm aware of. But but as far 323 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.319 as exit and those I really I really don't know much about Brent. I'm 324 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:30.119 Brenton is Brent Brent. I'm sorry, don't much much about him. But 325 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.559 outside looking in, you know, the things that I see as far as 326 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.119 you know, dealing with kids, dealing with community, you know, I 327 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.440 think he kind of hit that mark as far as a coach per se that's 328 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:47.279 needed at this point in this time. I think I think he's still a 329 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.759 guy that's probably gonna need and want some support around him that's here in the 330 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:55.119 community, be it the alumni or be it you know, past football coaches 331 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.200 and player that has been here. When you know, when you knew that 332 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.200 the jetfish was gone, you know, and names started going out right away, 333 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.720 and of course his name came up right away. But did you spend 334 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.599 any time thinking about, Okay, the type of guy we need is acts 335 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.400 or you know, a coach that can do these things? What are some 336 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.039 of what are some of those things to you? Well, you know, 337 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:19.279 Jay, Honestly, when I first saw it take place in happening, my 338 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:26.119 first instinct, my first reaction is Arizona need Rica Hundley right now, Arizona 339 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.119 you know. And and again that's me being his his little brother, but 340 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.079 also being you know, a football guy, being around the game of football 341 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:38.039 and being around people, and and they need a personality lack of rick of 342 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:44.160 Hundley in regards to knowing how to keep kids together, how to also talk 343 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.799 to the parents of these kids as well as also now to talk to the 344 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.200 people in the community at that point in time. That's the first thing that 345 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.720 really came to my faults in my mind is that, you know what, 346 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.519 he'd be the perfect person to be able to sit right in and keep this 347 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.759 thing going. I don't think think a lot of those kids would been thought. 348 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:06.319 I'm thinking about transferring this and that if immediately they knew that Ricky would 349 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.440 maybe be the guy, you know, because I think he's a he's a 350 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.119 leader of men, he's a leader of of of communities. He's when it 351 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.079 comes to gathering people and getting people go in the right direction. I mean, 352 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.880 that's what he stands for. That's his pedigree, right and again, 353 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.960 selfishly or unselfish, whatever you want to say, he was the person that 354 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.359 I had in mind. And you know, hopefully this next coach has those 355 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.480 same characteristics. So uh you probably I don't know. I know you can't 356 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.079 speak for him, and I don't want you to, but how much influence 357 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.160 do you think he'll have on the kids to stay both on the offensive side 358 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.960 and the defensive side. You know, I can't I can honestly speak on 359 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.359 that, behalf Steve. The last last three four days, Ricky Huntley is 360 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.839 the one that's been over there at that at that office talking to these kids, 361 00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.160 letting these kids know that you know, you know, you need to 362 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.759 do this great your own legacy here. You know, here's your opportunity to 363 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.000 have a long legacy at a university versus you know, having a year here, 364 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.359 year there, and year there. Here's your opportunity to put your mark 365 00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.839 on something, to make yourself and your family prow And I know personally that 366 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:18.119 he has been speaking to a lot of these kids in that vein in regards 367 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.599 to letting them know that, you know what, I'm a wildcat. I'm 368 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.720 a true wildcat. And in order for you to you know, be able 369 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.200 to say the same things I'm saying as as a as a as a wildcat, 370 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.160 you know, you need to be here for a while and create that 371 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.920 legacy and let this community you know, embrace you and love you for four 372 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.440 year versus of one year here and there. Yeah, good point. I 373 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.480 was going to say that that really, you know, makes as a fan, 374 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.599 makes me feel better that you know, somebody like Reggy, you know, 375 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.279 presumably presumably Chuck are guys who are here doing that because you need to 376 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.319 have those guys, uh, you know, to stick around and do that 377 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.319 right exactly. You know, when you got a person you know what you 378 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.319 know and talk to it what personality wise, you got those guys that whose 379 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.759 name is in that in that stadium and these guys are are are there twenty 380 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.920 four seven, and and and and and letting you know that you know I'm 381 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.359 here for you. Even if I'm not on the staff, you know, 382 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.279 I'm here for you and and and this university means something to me. So 383 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.440 I need you guys to really take this thing out so you know, this 384 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.359 ball can keep rolling versus you know, you letting it explode this way right 385 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.920 right. And he's a guy I think, well, I'm saying, Brendan's 386 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.480 a guy who I'm sure will keep the doors uh moving with the X guys. 387 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.759 Uh. And obviously you're your brother and Chuck and some of these guys 388 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.200 are X guys. But you know, do you open the doors and continue 389 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.799 to have the doors open for the X guys coming through to observe? I 390 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.680 mean, all I can do is I can hope. So I can tell 391 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.079 you one thing, that philosophy in that plane plan did work under Jed, 392 00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.400 So it's it's a working plan. So why break something? Why try to 393 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.480 fit? I'm saying something that doesn't need to be fixed. You know, 394 00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.240 I think you do work with that. You keep that going. If anything, 395 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.440 you know, Dave Heikey and and doctor Robbins, they saw you know, 396 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.799 the actual you know plan work, and they saw guys coming back and 397 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.160 guys and break being embrace or wanted to be embraced and also giving back to 398 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:17.839 to the actual program itself in some for fashion or not. So I hope 399 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.119 that that formula has work and the new coach that comes in he sees that 400 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:27.559 and embraced that as foremost is keeping Ricky as well as Dwayne A Keena around 401 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:32.160 and you know, any other coach that can bring some value, you know, 402 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.920 to that coaching staff into this community. Did you did you go through 403 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:41.440 any coaching changes in anywhere in your your football career? Uh? Yeah, 404 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.960 when I was in the NFL, I went through three coaches. Okay, 405 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.200 what's that? But you know what y I was getting pased. I was 406 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.720 like different, right, I don't give ahead? Yeah, but still don't. 407 00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.680 Don't you get attached to coaches, whether they're assistant coaches or head coaches? 408 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.559 And and how hard how hard is that when all that changes, like 409 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.599 in a heartbeat, well as far as on the college level, I mean, 410 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.960 I wholly believe that that is the case. A kid come here based 411 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.119 on the relationship that he has had with his coach. You know, I 412 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.720 can honestly say this. You know, I'll say this out loud, I'll 413 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.200 said public a shame on Jed to say that these are kids that are coming 414 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.559 here for him. Those kids was not coming here for Jed. The kids 415 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.759 came here because each coach that went out there recruited them. That's to why 416 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.480 those kids came out here. You might have one or two kids that came 417 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.759 out here because you know, Jed might have a particular offense or philosophy or 418 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.359 thinking and those kids are well, that fits it for me. But majority 419 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:44.559 of the kids they come here because of the relationships they had with their recruiting 420 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:48.160 coach, the relationship that the coach had with their parents. That's the reason 421 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.480 why they're coming. And again I said this because I've seen it firsthand. 422 00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.599 And when I had twenty kids over my house for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and 423 00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.839 these kids coming over there because of the relationship they had with Rick and you 424 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.519 know, and that's that's that's right. There has value within itself and means 425 00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.640 a lot. And uh, you know, and if a coaching staff or 426 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.680 coach can't see that, you know, hey, I think you know he's 427 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.480 living on the rock by himself. So let's kind of go there. That's 428 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.519 kind of good. I don't know if you saw you saw my column that 429 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.880 I wrote yesterday or sorry, two days ago, whatever it was. When 430 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.240 this doesn't shock me. He goes and he comes, he comes and he 431 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:27.839 goes, blah blah blah. So three years is not a shock to me. 432 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:33.240 Did you deep down think it's it's only a matter of time? Oh 433 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.200 yeah, I mean I I I played it year by year and know in 434 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:40.160 regards to that, you know what, and right now I'm looking at what 435 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:44.880 what may about to happen with the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, hell, 436 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.920 it might be opportunity that Eagles may fire their coach. You know, you 437 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:53.839 don't think Jay mister j gonna have his eyes open for that, you know. 438 00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.680 And I'm saying this because you know, he has a relationship with the 439 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.680 general manager. Him and the general the best of friends. And you don't 440 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.599 think if Lorie want to get Jed out there, Jed, He's gonna pay 441 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:10.920 whatever he needs to pay money to the Washington Hooks Huskies and to get him 442 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:12.640 to come through the Eagles, and he would go, No doubt in my 443 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.000 mind, he would go. He would go, and he's he's he is, 444 00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:21.240 he's looking for that next opportunity, you know, to to make his 445 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.720 resume look bigger and faster and as well as his stay check. And but 446 00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:27.519 if that's your think in here, philosophy's great, be that way. And 447 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.119 I think we knew that going into it three years ago when when he signed 448 00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.640 up as being our coach here. Right, Well, that's pretty strong. 449 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.599 But you're I think you're well again. What you know, what I've been 450 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.920 saying to people is that as much as every fans in this community wanted to 451 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.759 believe that he was here for the long haul, he turned out to be 452 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.279 the guy that we all thought he was when he got here, exactly And 453 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.440 then I'm not saying that as a bad thing. It's just like you are 454 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.880 who you are, yeah, exactly right, And you know what, and 455 00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.079 the coach that's coming here, I mean, we might see who he are 456 00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:03.440 and and to me, that's being transparent is better than not and so so 457 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.880 hopefully we can see who we is and and maybe he's a long term guy 458 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.720 for sure. That that's that believe in, you know, building from the 459 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.000 from you know, from what he what he has and and within the community 460 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:19.880 and making these you know, people understand, feel proud of of of the 461 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.039 uh of the teams he's putting out on that field, and be and the 462 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.680 on get back to being proud of the block A. You know, I 463 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.440 mean, I'm at this point in life right now, or at this point 464 00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.160 in general that we as a community per se, I mean we we we 465 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.160 got to stand behind the block. We can't be standing behind a coach. 466 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.799 We can't even stand behind players no more right because the fact that they're all 467 00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.200 coming and going and that's the way that that's the mood right now, that's 468 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.359 the feel in the landscape of college football. So now we we we as 469 00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:52.720 a community got to learn to stand behind the block A and uh and and 470 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.400 and embrace whatever is there is given to us, good or bad, but 471 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.000 knowing that you know, it's our a. It doesn't belong to anybody else. 472 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.839 Those guys are coming up. We talked about this a couple of days 473 00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:07.279 ago. Judge uh, Jay and the much so Smith you played for cot 474 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:12.440 Smith and I brought this He left under weird conditions or I don't know what 475 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.880 the word is, sudden And here we are again. Did you did you 476 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.559 find any correlation between the two? No? No, no, I mean 477 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.720 I think coach Smith, Well, the only correlation is the weird conditions. 478 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.000 That's it. You know, as far as far as type of coaches and 479 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.039 people, they are night and day, night and day, and I mean 480 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.559 Coach Smith mean the world to me and always meant the world to me. 481 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.200 And I think that there was some people that felt Cole Smith may have done 482 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.240 to Son wrong. But and again that was a different time and era where 483 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:49.319 Cole Smith can only get what he could get at this the university per se 484 00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:53.279 and and and there was no upwards opportunity for him. I mean, you 485 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.440 know, there was upward opportunity for Jed here. There was things that was 486 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:01.359 being opened up that no coach he ever had an opportunity to be open use. 487 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:06.359 He got here, he changed the whole mackup of the north end zone 488 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:12.400 in regards to the football locker room, the football offices, the actual weight 489 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.200 room, every aspect of that whatever that man asked. So he pretty much 490 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.240 a guy, you know, so he did change that. Coach Smith couldn't 491 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.279 do that. So what Coach Smith all the choices, was that I gotta 492 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.720 find a place to go who could do this for me? You know. 493 00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:31.240 So so but you know, in the eyes of Tucson, maybe Coach Smith 494 00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:36.640 did go out like the Indianapolis coach in the middle of the night. But 495 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.480 but but but I think I think again, Jed, he did it a 496 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:44.119 little more, you know, a little less classic, I think than what 497 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:45.440 Coach Smith is. I mean, I'll tell you, man, when I 498 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:52.559 saw that ad in his house here in Tucson signing a contract, and he 499 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:55.319 embraced this man like it was his greatest friend. He embraced him in his 500 00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.759 house here in Tucson in the middle of the day, in the middle of 501 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.640 the day when it was recorded, and they gonna put that out way before 502 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.759 anybody here in Tucson. I really know that this man is gone, what 503 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:14.680 a flapp in our face. That's the thing. You know. Every man 504 00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:16.200 is out to get what they need to get in life, and I you 505 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.359 know, and I want them to do that. But there's a there's a 506 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.799 way of doing it, you know, there's a way of doing it. 507 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.680 And he's now he's gonna go to create this, you know, new, 508 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:32.559 a new velocity of of of of of of what he's gonna do with Washington 509 00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:36.440 is not going to be personal. Now it's going to be something else. 510 00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.319 Because he left personal in Tucsa, you know, you know, so so 511 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:45.039 now he got to come up with some other you know Clogan, you know, 512 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.440 to embrace the people up there and then up there and Washington stuff, 513 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.759 and you know, and and me, honestly, if I was a player 514 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:57.119 and I see that man walking into that room, and I'm like, what 515 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.359 lie you gonna tell me? Because you just told these guys and is going 516 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.960 to something totally different and left him, you know, so so me as 517 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.480 a player that that, you know, That's how I would be feeling in 518 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.760 regard to that. Well, Okay, if you aren't into Brent Brannan tonight 519 00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.440 at a restaurant Twitter, what's your first piece of advice for you to Brent 520 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:21.360 Brennan?

Yes, say, 590 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.519 welcome back to Eyeing the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Si 591 00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:22.039 Rivero, you're Ja Gonzales. A lot of things going on, very very 592 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.079 candid, very thoughtful of Lamont, to be honest, and how he felt, 593 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:29.199 Well, I'll tell you what. And you know, you talk about 594 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:34.320 pieces of advice, both from the aspect of having a good coach on your 595 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.840 staff, but also the aspect of getting the fans behind you. You know, 596 00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:43.320 keeping Huntley and Cecil would be huge. And then if he could get 597 00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.400 Dwayne Aquina back here, if he's got an opening for Aquina, I think 598 00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:51.320 that would immediately get him a lot of get Brandon a lot of fans support. 599 00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:53.760 I'm not telling him what to do, just saying, yeah, let's 600 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:58.000 take this call. Hi, you're on the air and I on the ball. 601 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.360 Hey you guys, guest calling. Let me tell you, Hey, 602 00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:06.480 Gabe, let me tell you something. Someone sent me a text late last 603 00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.239 night and said, you know who you know who got this right all along? 604 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:13.480 It was Gabe. It was Gave who said that that guy was gonna 605 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.400 leave at some point and gave congratulations. But now, how do you feel? 606 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:28.519 Listen, you guys, when the when it actually happened. I was 607 00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:36.199 really pissed off. And let me say this, after the on Saturday, 608 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:43.559 after Arizona loss to washing Day, I just thought, how could this get 609 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:51.679 even worse? Well, it just got, well it did. On my 610 00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:58.679 My thoughts about this is that I was I was okay with him going to 611 00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:06.400 Florida next year. But but I don't know, I don't know. The 612 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:10.440 way that Jeffish did Arizona duty kind of really pisses me off. Yeah, 613 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:15.360 but by the way, don't cut still. But we hear you. I 614 00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.119 mean, you're not alone. Well that's the thing that see most people are 615 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:20.480 talking about right in terms of what they talk about Jed leave. Now we're 616 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.119 moving on to Brent Brandon, you know, being the guy, a guy 617 00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:27.199 who a lot of people that should have gotten this job three years ago. 618 00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:34.400 What do you think I'd like to hire? They just need to fire. 619 00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:42.960 They just need to hire Johnny Nansen as the head defensive coronator and get other 620 00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:51.960 coaching coaching, and get other coaches that are really good in recruiting, mainly 621 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:59.599 the Polynesians. And I think Oregon has a good offensive coordinator, so try 622 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:06.440 to get him, but try to try to limit the amount of players transferring 623 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:12.519 out of Arizona and just stop the bleeding, just in general, and let 624 00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:16.639 me just get let let me just talk more about this just I don't know, 625 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.559 just with Stave Hackey being a pullman, I just kind of think, 626 00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:28.440 dude, come on, you just shouldn't be just on top of this. 627 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:34.840 Just have any contingency plans instead of being in pullman Washington. Come on it 628 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:42.320 also, I really, I really now, I really despise Nick Staven at 629 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:52.920 Alabama. I just screw them. Can have nice things because because s Obs 630 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:57.480 had to threw everything up. So let me get let's let me go and 631 00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.159 Jay maybe help me here. So you're talking about Nance, that's a stretch 632 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.719 because he's at Texas. Are you gonna leave that job in Texas to come 633 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:07.960 here to do the same job, probably at a lower rate. I don't 634 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:10.360 know, I don't know what the ring would be unlikely? And then you 635 00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:15.199 threw who's the other one, uh, the Oregon guy? Remember where Oregon 636 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:20.039 is? Yeah, they're in the Big ten. There's a there's a reason 637 00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:23.119 that there's that's one of the big reasons Jed Fish left left Azona. Here 638 00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:25.920 here's the thing, Gabe and I hope, you you'll, you'll, you'll 639 00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.519 take this? Is that to me? Players need to stay because players want 640 00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:35.920 to be here, not because Johnny Nansen is here or this guy is here 641 00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.800 or that guy's here, because they want to be as Lamont was saying, 642 00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.000 they got to stay here because they want to be at Arizona create and create 643 00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.400 their own legacy. And I agree with a whole lot with that. On 644 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:49.119 what on what Lamont Hunley said about that, I think that's gonna be really 645 00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.079 important. And you know, and if a guy wants to leave, if 646 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:53.920 Team AC wants to leave, if Afida wants to leave, or anybody else 647 00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:59.000 wants to leave because they don't think Arizona's good enough place for them, then 648 00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:01.320 go. I don't have a problem with them leaving. And if that means 649 00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:04.559 that you start from scratch here and twoson, well, then you do. 650 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:12.760 In regards to men's basketball, I think Tommy A. Lloyd needs to change 651 00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:20.199 up the lineup the the players who are starting like Boswell is just stat I'm 652 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.840 sorry, I'm sorry for being a drunk, but he's right now. He's 653 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:29.199 just stop. Yeah, stuff has a hotel, pillows something like that. 654 00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:37.840 He can't make any any three any three three stars to Stafans his own life, 655 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:44.639 Tommy Lloyd needs to change his lineup and and back to Arizona football. 656 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:52.360 I don't know, just Jeffish just kind of did pull the the whole Arizona 657 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:57.840 fan face dirty. I mean, why would you go to Washington? They're 658 00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:02.599 still gonna dog a against Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and your 659 00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:07.599 usual Oregon USC and you see, like, why why why are you gonna 660 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:12.519 go there? Oh yeah, sure, you're gonna have a lot of money, 661 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.960 You're not gonna you're not gonna be on top of the conference. Just 662 00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:21.440 I don't know, because I'm really kind of still pissed off about it. 663 00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:27.480 I know Jason Sheer and his wife Shelby shere kind of wet off. And 664 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.679 I'm pretty sure Jason Spears, I mean, he's a fan, he's an 665 00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.440 Arizona fan, but he likes to play. He's a journalist, and I 666 00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:40.880 think all these kind of piss off. But I don't know, just the 667 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.599 whole Arizona community is pissed off. Well, it'll all be fine, Gabe, 668 00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:47.679 It'll all be fine. I think they got a good coach and we'll 669 00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:52.320 see how this plays out. I think we'll be happy with with what happens 670 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:55.000 here. So hey, thanks a bunch of always gaye appreciate it. You're 671 00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:59.440 welcome. As long as they beat the dumbasses in tempees, that's all it 672 00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:02.840 counts. We know that's all that matters, all right, Gate, Thanks 673 00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.760 thanks again. So he used the word pissed a couple of types. Would 674 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.639 this happen? What was your level? One to ten? Additionally, I 675 00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:17.199 wasn't as pissed because I kind of wasn't shocked, okay, So it was 676 00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:20.599 more of like, I'm just like, come on, Jed. You know 677 00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:25.119 you told he sold all these people on this pilot goods and you crapped on 678 00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:28.880 them. Let's take this call. How you're on the air and I on 679 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:32.320 the ball. How's it going today? What's up right? I'm doing better 680 00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:38.880 today? Oh yeah, I don't know what you Okay? You know people 681 00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:45.280 have to realize, okay, Dave Peky, he is the athletic director for 682 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:51.119 the whole program, all the programs, not just football, right and yav 683 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.239 you know he was there for the foot for the men's basketball game. I 684 00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:58.039 don't know if he went to the women's game on Friday night. I'm not 685 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.119 too sure, but you know, he has to make his appearances where he's 686 00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:05.679 at. And I'm sure when he left town, you know, even though 687 00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:12.599 there was talk about the Fish leaving, he's still he still has to do 688 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:15.480 his job for all the other sports too. If he's not going to have 689 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:20.800 any control over the almost eight million dollars at Fish, at God, this 690 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.000 whole thing. Yeah, you're right, and once they offered him the money, 691 00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:28.400 he's gone, you know. And like I know, I know Gabe 692 00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.800 says they're not going to do as well in the in the Big ten, 693 00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:36.840 but give me, there's twelve teams to get into this playoff now, and 694 00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:38.559 you don't have to win your conference, especially in the big dinner of the 695 00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:43.719 SEC, they're going to take more of those teams. Yeah, okay, 696 00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:49.559 I got And I also think also to the coach is fine. I have 697 00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.599 no problem with the coach, you know. And I'm like, Jay, 698 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.559 if you don't want to be here, leave Ryan. Do you have tickets 699 00:47:54.599 --> 00:48:01.480 to have season tickets? Yeah? You have season two? You have season 700 00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:07.159 ticket? Yes? Okay, so so does this. This is probably not 701 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.679 going to deter you from repurchasing, right, but what about the increases? 702 00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:15.039 What about the increasing price? The price of the tickets. Nothing. What 703 00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:16.960 else am I going to do on Saturday night? We'll hang out with Jay. 704 00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:22.639 He does hang out with Jay other people. Right, there's a price 705 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:30.039 of admission, you know, just to watch him walk around there and have 706 00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:32.480 a few beers. It's worth the time. Thank you, Hey, Brian, 707 00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:37.000 thanks a much. Man. Okay, so let me let me start. 708 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:37.800 We only have four minutes, so we can talk about it later. 709 00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:42.800 You created quite a story with a few people on face on Twitter. Well 710 00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.159 again, and I said this before Saturday Sadly, I agree with you. 711 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.159 I said this before I saw you know what what Greg Hanson posts. I 712 00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:51.559 said, the contract had nothing to do with it. I agree, And 713 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.639 I tweeted, I said, if if, if, if dad Fish had 714 00:48:54.679 --> 00:49:00.519 signed the contracts, the Arizona contract Saturday morning or Sunday morning, jed he 715 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:02.440 was still gonna be the coach at Washington Sunday night, no question, you 716 00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:06.000 know, no matter what. Or a month ago, right, a week 717 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:07.440 ago. So I just completely disagreed with Greg. And you know, look, 718 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:09.880 Greg's one of my I think, one of my best friends. You 719 00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:14.119 know. I love the guy and I and I agree agree with him a 720 00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:15.880 lot on a lot of what he says, and I get to disagree with 721 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.519 him on stuff that he says, and I just completely disagreed with him, 722 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.280 saying that had Arizona gotten the contract done, that Jetfish would have stayed totally, 723 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.920 and that that him leaving was avoidable. No, it was not totally 724 00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:28.639 agree with you. Let'sten, did they go five point one or whatever? 725 00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:32.000 They could do the max and money's maybe not even it. I think what 726 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:35.559 he said today is to go into a place that has a chance to win 727 00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:37.880 it all. You're not gonna do that here, at least not yet. 728 00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:39.719 Yeah, not yet. And he's a guy who moves. I mean, 729 00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:44.039 come on, you could have this contract a year ago, month ago, 730 00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:45.960 a week ago. Sunday. You know, a bunch of people said, 731 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.760 in response to some other stuff that Arizona should have given him seven million. 732 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:54.679 Really do you think do you think Arizona is a seven million dollars a year 733 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:59.960 job. It is not right. It is not stretching to be a five 734 00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.519 right, It is not a seven million dollars a year job. And to 735 00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:06.159 your and to your point, if they give them the seven million and then 736 00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:10.960 a Florida comes along in two years, anyway, it's you want to fit 737 00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:16.320 people talking about on Twitter overreaction is exactly that they're spending other people's money. 738 00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:19.800 They don't even know how much they have, you know, oh they could 739 00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:23.079 have raised it from where? From where? This will give a lesson to 740 00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:27.840 the fans that speak out help. We talk about this with Branil. Guess 741 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:31.119 what help? Right? Right? And you see you see the the juve, 742 00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:36.760 the collective, the collectives out there on social media like guys, we 743 00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:38.280 need your help, right, we need your help. And you and you 744 00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:43.960 do you know, uh buy and if the minimum you do is buy football 745 00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:47.920 tickets and buy football tickets, but do something, do something or don't complain? 746 00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:51.440 Right, you see that on Twitter? Now, I guess they're gonna 747 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:53.280 have a team meeting here any moment if they're not. Now, I saw 748 00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:57.719 Chuck Cecil going into a into the Uve. The band is ready for the 749 00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.440 for the Brendon entrance. So so the new era was gonna officially start. 750 00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:06.119 Yeah here, look, you know, look, let's get it going. 751 00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.000 You know, I like there was a scene in a movie I saw a 752 00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:12.599 long time, a long time ago, like a seventies movie, like a 753 00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:16.280 car racing movie, and and the guy grabs the rearview mirror off the car 754 00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:20.599 and he throws it behind it, and he says, he says, what 755 00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:24.440 is behind me does not matter. And that's kind of where Arizona needs to 756 00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:29.159 be. Arizona fans need to be. Turn the freaking page. Let's let's 757 00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:31.719 get Brent Brandon introduced tomorrow and let's let's move on. Let me remind you, 758 00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:36.079 fans, four years ago, you were a bunch of poop. You 759 00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:38.840 were a bunch of poop, and the one thing you needed to happen was 760 00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:42.840 get rid of the coach. And it happened, and it happened. And 761 00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:45.960 in between this you a person comes in. I was saying this do gre 762 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.679 girl comes into town, has a little struggle the first two years, makes 763 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.840 sense, and then put you on a party ride that you enjoyed. Yes, 764 00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:58.239 enjoy the moment. The same Yeah, the same thing could happen again. 765 00:51:58.360 --> 00:52:00.039 Arizona might go five and seven it next year. But you know what, 766 00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:05.119 you don't put up with it. This is too This is Arizona. 767 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:09.079 This is not you know, Michigan. This is not right, not an 768 00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:13.000 eight million dollars stop. All right, we're gonna be back breaking news. 769 00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:15.400 We've got some other stuff going on. So we'll cover some of that. 770 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:17.679 We'll be right back to turn it all down.
