WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.639 Streamy Live. I mean, iHeart radio. While this is I on the 2 00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:19.079 Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Heay, 3 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.640 welcome back to on the Ball here on Fock Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, 4 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.280 He's Jay Now Justin with breaking news. But we do have some breaking 5 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.600 news. It is not Justin today. This is I on the Ball breaking 6 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.119 news on Fox fourteen fifty. Justin, who are you? I don't know, 7 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.759 Justin? What would I say? Just Justin? I guess it was 8 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.399 just like one of those Justin like is like twelve in terms ago. No, 9 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.640 no, because you said just because they did it Justin. Yeah, 10 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.159 maybe that's right because we're talking about Justin Spears, he tweeted the new episode 11 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.399 of Island Time podcast. Yeah, no, it was. It was some 12 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.799 priming to say to say Justin. But yeah, we were talking between the 13 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.560 break about the new podcast episode that Teto McMillan and if Afita just dropped on 14 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.079 the Game Network app. They didn't say too much about the situation, but 15 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:12.200 it does seem like they're in good spirits to say the least. And yeah, 16 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.920 certainly they certainly didn't sound like devastated that their coach left. They said 17 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.359 that they had been all through all the emotions in the last they couldn't understand, 18 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:25.640 they didn't fully know, they could how it had been a long day. 19 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.239 It's good to be eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old and have the 20 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.920 world at your feet and you can say whatever you want and yeah, blah 21 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.680 blah blah. You know, and you get your own you get your little 22 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.640 platform to do it and probably making pretty good money. Yeah. But I 23 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.599 don't think we spoke about this yesterday. We might have touched on it, 24 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.400 but I wanted to bring up the fact that Dorian Singer has found his next 25 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.400 home. He's transferring to Utah Utah his one season at USC, so he's 26 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.200 kind of going from the West Coast team to West Coast team here. But 27 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.760 we'll see Utah. I mean, not that I care that much, but 28 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.879 I'll always wonder, you know, was there any discussion of him coming here, 29 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.280 or maybe he was thinking about coming here then Jed left and so he's 30 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.360 going to Utah. I don't know, but I just, you know what, 31 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.479 in the end, I really hope things turn out well for that guy. 32 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.319 You almost feel like he got kind of lost, you know, after 33 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.439 he made that decision to leave Arizona, and now it's kind of like he's 34 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.719 trying to get it back. And unless someoney wrongs, you really don't want 35 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.120 to root against him, right unless you lose a bet on him. Certainly 36 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.520 didn't wrong Arizona because he didn't even crap against Arizona. That's a good point 37 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.719 too, Stee Jay Jay kind of touched on this earlier. But Efeesian's Pricesock 38 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.199 has entered the transfer portal from Arizona. We'll see where he ends up. 39 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.120 Did he give any indication that there was just company could be thinking about just 40 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.520 no, he just he just he didn't. He didn't post uh uh you 41 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.039 know a stage. He just posted his photo and said officially in the portal 42 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.120 or something. Yeah, and then when the news dropped yesterday about Fish moving 43 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.039 to Washington, he posted a photo of the team at the Alamobile with a 44 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.840 heartbroken emoji. So yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot of emoji. 45 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.000 Just tiphering again, you know, thirty six hours, you know whether 46 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.800 or not he's doing this, and you know, he jumped into the portal 47 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.719 as an option, you know, to make sure he's got his options open 48 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.120 or if he's gonna wait and actually meet uh, you know, Brent Brannan 49 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.560 and then make a decision that you know, you'd like to think that these 50 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.599 guys realize what's at stake, right, and that they'll you know, take 51 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:27.199 a minute and make a decision based on not who you think Brent Brandon is, 52 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.599 but actually meeting the guy. Yeah, you don't want to make an 53 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.240 emotional decision that could really and then you know it takes a moment. He 54 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:38.199 got time to figure it out, you do, uh. Tulia Takavloa has 55 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.919 committed to the NFL draft, initially applying for another year of eligibility. The 56 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.560 NCAA has denied his request for another year of eligibility, forcing this pivot to 57 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.879 right, so he had to go. People are talking about, you know, 58 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.560 whether or not he actually projects as a pro, so that it's kind 59 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.400 of up in the air to see whether or not he'll be drafted where he'll 60 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.759 be drafted. Did you see last week, I guess cam Ward got out 61 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.479 of the NFL draft, Yeah, to go to Miami, which I thought 62 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.120 was interesting and like, okay, I haven't heard of that. Yeah, 63 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.960 that was that's interesting because he had declared for the NFL draft I'm going to 64 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.800 the NFL and then it was like a second thought, and then you think, 65 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.480 obviously speculation, But do you think that that could be a situation where 66 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.319 a player sees the kind of money they could make in the NFL and actually 67 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.720 maybe the NFB because they were talking about that with Marvin Harrison. But that's 68 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.759 a different level of money going you know, one, two three in the 69 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.720 draft right right? But now, I you know, yeah, I mean 70 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.360 maybe he thought, Okay, I go to Miami and make a little bit 71 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.759 more, maybe get some more skills. Do you don't have a good season 72 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.399 and improve my draft stock? You know? There there certainly is more of 73 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.639 that. I heard the other day that I think season before last or draft 74 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:54.040 before let or last year's draft, that there were sixty plus something underclassmen in 75 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.439 the draft that had declared for the draft, and this year they're only like 76 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.399 thirty four underclass And that telling you that underclassmen are saying, I can make 77 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.959 sure decent money and you know, get another year of playing time and I 78 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.639 don't have to go to the draft. Right now, I think you see 79 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.879 that a lot of football and basketball with the guys, because you know, 80 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.240 the G League is the G league, you make X amount of money, 81 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.279 why not stand another year or two just to before if you can get you 82 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.199 know, six figures and playing in college because you know, I'm hanging out 83 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.399 at you know, fudd Frogginfrikin or whatever. Yeah, why not? So 84 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.319 I'm thinking, would you think that it's tougher to make the NBA than it 85 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.319 is the NFL And there are fewer spots, so totally so why not stay? 86 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.879 That's just me because there are fewer fewer places. I was just thinking 87 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.920 about it. I was like, well, that's a good question. But 88 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.879 speaking of making the NFL, we have some people that could be leaving the 89 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.000 NFL after this season. Jason Kelcey, after after the last he had retired 90 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.079 after last night's game, indicated to his teammates that he will be retiring. 91 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.920 He's played his last game. Honestly, a pretty sad way for him to 92 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.279 go out after they showed him at the end of the game. I don't 93 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.000 know if you saw then on the band well he was still sitting on the 94 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.720 bench and the tears in his eyes that look like you know, and he 95 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.079 was hugging the coaches. Yeah, I believe it might have been his offensive 96 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.480 line coaches. You know, the way Philadelphia just laid down, blamed out, 97 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.160 laid down, flamed out over the last last part of the season. 98 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.199 Crazy, and it seemed to only get progressively worse for the defense specifically. 99 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.920 The offense had its problems all year, had its you know, had its 100 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.879 words, but the defense really became Swiss cheese by the end. It was. 101 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.639 It was pretty strange to see. But the Buccaneers did did, I 102 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.759 mean dominated them. Honestly. It was ugly. It was ugly. It 103 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:40.360 was ugly, and I hit the under on that Steve more important than anything 104 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.360 else. No, no grudges to be had. I have no grudges to 105 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.199 once your game. I chased all weekend and then got it all back last 106 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:58.439 night. That's what The Atlanta Falcons have interviewed Bill Belichick for their head coaching 107 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:04.240 job. Really or so I saw that. I saw that Bill Belichick interviewed. 108 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.639 I think it's I think it's the different announcements for these for these high 109 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.800 profile head coaching jobs this year. We've seen the Chargers release their press statement 110 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.399 saying, hey, we interviewed this guy. Uh and now that the Falcons 111 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.519 are saying, hey, we've come out and interviewed Bill Belichick. Whether or 112 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.759 not that means anything is interesting. But we'll see what happens, because I 113 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.079 guess the harball is really making it tough on Michigan. But you see what 114 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.000 he what he wants. Don't tell me because I just saw this story. 115 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.720 He wants it to be. You know how most contracts have if you break 116 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.240 n C double A rules, you can get fired. He wants. He 117 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.240 wants the opposite. He wants to say, if I get caught breaking n 118 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.439 C double A rules, you can't fire me. He wants in his contract, 119 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.800 Okay, if I set the house on fire, you can't get rid 120 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.920 of me. He's trying to get. He's trying to get an immunity clause 121 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.439 in his contract. Why would I know why they would put up with this? 122 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.040 But why would they put up with this? I don't know. Isn't 123 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.199 he isn't he isn't he saying I don't want to come back. I'm gonna 124 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.240 put I'm gonna throw this out there and if you give it to me, 125 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.160 great, but I know you're not gonna give it to me, and and 126 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.600 and and so I can say to Michigan fan, you wouldn't meet my demand. 127 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.680 So I'm going to I'm going to the Chargers. I mean, he's 128 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.519 like, it's like you you know, it's like you're you're you're you're renting 129 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.720 a house to somebody and say, you know what if I bust the windows, 130 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.120 piss on the carpet, you know, set the house on fire, 131 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960 I still get my deposit back. It's kind of what he's saying, get 132 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.240 and it's crazy that that might work the negotiation. Yeah, and Michigan didn't 133 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.559 say no, I don't get it, because Michigan can get anybody you want 134 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.120 to go, why not just wait for the next bus. Okay, see, 135 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.720 dead fish is out there. But the modern makes a fantastic point with 136 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.240 the NFL people. Yeah, he makes a fantastic point. Look, you 137 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.639 know, Seattle still hasn't even hired its head coach. All right, they 138 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.559 could go get a guy and he could be out in three years and guess 139 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.919 who's down the street. Yeah, right, right, right, Okay, 140 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.480 And that could be part of what he was thinking. He did come out 141 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.759 in a press conference. We're talking about jetfish. He didn't come out in 142 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.240 this press conference and say, you know, hey, Pete Carroll's gonna be 143 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.360 around. He's gonna be a mentor. He's gonna be this, he's gonna 144 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.799 be that. So uh, Jay might be on the money with that, 145 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.960 I got it. Uh. Sacramento King's head coach Mike Brown was fined fifty 146 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.080 thousand dollars for hart didn't he for his rant that went quite viral because he 147 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.279 had his assistant bring a laptop that was filled with the game footage with the 148 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.519 clips of the of the different misscalls from the referees went quite viral. A 149 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.480 lot of NBA coaches have been complaining about the referees lately, and has NFL 150 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.360 too. Yeah, the week, that's a new one though. It's like, 151 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.559 you know, that's like new technology now you're bringing you're bringing. Not 152 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.879 only am I saying it here? It is right? And I thought the 153 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:56.799 Toronto did you? Were you the intern for this last week? I wasn't, 154 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.759 but I did see that. I don't even know who the hell he 155 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:05.000 was until till so we said he's the coach? Really yeah, twenty three 156 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.759 to two, whatever it was, it was, it was how you I 157 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.879 will break you. I will break you. That was like when said I'm 158 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.559 glad this game was not in Serbia. Kick ass, like like our guy. 159 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.159 But then, yeah, I that was all for breaking news for today. 160 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.679 I don't know if you guys had anything specific that you guys wanted to 161 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.600 to bring into the No. I you know what, I I know, 162 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.320 I didn't. I was so zeroed in on all the you know, the 163 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.759 coaches stuff. Let's talk about that. Back about the Twitter thing that with 164 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.200 you and Greg, I thought it was I totally agree with you. I 165 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.240 totally agree with you, which is which is a rarity. No, but 166 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.320 but it's true. You said, what does the contract mean anymore? It 167 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.679 doesn't. It means nothing, That's the whole thing. He said. I 168 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.159 was concerned. Well, you know, it's funny because you know the Jedfish's 169 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.200 press conference to day was it was on YouTube, so I didn't see it 170 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.200 when it happened, and went after the fact. And then I'm looking down 171 00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:01.320 the down the comments and way more than the majority of the comments where people 172 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.600 who are just basically referencing that he'll be gone, that if Florida opens up 173 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.679 next year, he'll still be gone, and and so yeah, and and 174 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.559 I'm not not to criticize Jet for that, but just to the point that, 175 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.919 Okay, so he's got a contract with however, whatever the buyout is 176 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.919 and stuff like that, if if somebody wants you, whatever the buyout, 177 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.039 I mean they gave they bought out a Jimbo Fisher's contract for seventy plus million 178 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.919 dollars, right, the bat doesn't even matter anymore. Well, Arizona bought 179 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.399 out something for seven and a half. Yeah, I mean, it's the 180 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.879 greatest job in America right now, right, being a fired division. Right, 181 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.960 you've never seen me again? No, I would be in in Montego, 182 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.440 you know, so again to you know, not not not to continue 183 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.279 to hammer on on Port Greg And he yelled at me on the text message 184 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.080 in a in a loving way. You know, the contract just didn't matter. 185 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.600 It just did not. I agree, it really did not. Uh. 186 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.480 You know, there's a lot of people being critical of Arizona of the 187 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.600 administration, saying if they'd have moved on this, they'd have gotten him signed 188 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.120 right after the Territorial Cup, even more so because now there would have been 189 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.879 more time since the contract had signed for him for him to say here. 190 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.679 You know, look, Jed talked about the high pride. They called him 191 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.440 on Saturday afternoon and by Sunday and by Sunday after him he was the head 192 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.240 coach and he was signing a contract yes Sunday afternoon. How long do you 193 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.159 think that that reputation will stick with him? I know, I know it 194 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.919 is who he seems to be. It's who he is because of what happened 195 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.799 here. It's it's stuck to him. Well, let's we knew because he 196 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.159 was an assistant and assistant assistant. Here's another thing. He's never been in 197 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.679 a place where he's had to deal with a possible fiery right, So how 198 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.039 good do we know he is? You know, you stay three years, 199 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.840 then you move, you stay three years, well ten years? How good 200 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.519 are you? Again? Sorry to cut because I don't find anything issue with 201 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.840 him except that he moves quickly and he and he did make a big point 202 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.159 an express conference about making sure he brought all his all his staff with him. 203 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.480 And so we we are. Jerry is still out as to whether or 204 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.279 not he can be the central CEO, as Steve was saying, without the 205 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.480 proper middle manager. But look, you know, the question is did he 206 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.919 hit lightning in a bottle this year without question? Or you know, was 207 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.799 this something that he was going to be able to replicate next year, or 208 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.559 was it lightning in a bottle and the next year as it as it has 209 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.120 been at Arizona. You know in its history, there was gonna be a 210 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.799 back pedal. Is there three things? You just said? Yes, yes, 211 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.960 and yes? Come on? He he didn't want to change DeLaura? 212 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.360 Right? What if he what if he didn't change DeLaura? Right, he 213 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.519 doesn't have this job. He's still here and people aren't so sure they wanted 214 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.919 him to stay here? Right if he only want if he goes five and 215 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.399 seven again, if he hadn't gone to a bulg if he had kept Laura 216 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.320 hadn't gone to a bulgame, he's on the hot seat next year, right 217 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.960 dead. You know, they did what they did, and all credit to 218 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.200 them for doing what they did. Yeah, you know, it was it 219 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.000 was it was. I mean, it was a stretch of seven games that 220 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.960 you you'd have to really go back and look. Has Arizona ever had a 221 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.120 better stretch seven games? Ever? Ever? Have ever had a better stretch 222 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.960 of time? I hope you maybe, yeah, maybe not. But there 223 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.120 was no guarantee that that was gonna be any fast. Anything that is bad, 224 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.320 nothing, whatever, should be shamed because he puts you on a nice 225 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.639 market carpet ride. I hope you enjoyed it. It was very fun. 226 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.559 It was very fun that month where basketball and football was undefeated in the same 227 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.080 month. Yeah, when with that, we don't know when I'll happened again, 228 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.399 but we were glad. I enjoyed it. It was happening. All 229 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.759 right, Okay, we're gonna come back.

You were fine? 306 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.359 Thank you. You were quoted heavily to day by a number of people 307 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.839 on your comments about Brennan. You must love the man. Well, I 308 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.640 mean I went in, I had I had a guy. I had about 309 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.000 four people that I thought could get the job done either direction at it when 310 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.039 I was going to support it, and they just happened to pick one of 311 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.440 my fours. So yeah, I've known Brent for years, from the time 312 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.160 he was coaching us when I was my senior year at you know, at 313 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.559 you at at Arizona, and then also I kept a relationship with him throughout 314 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.000 as through his coaching career, you know, with other different recruits and different 315 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.480 players that he was recruiting my area, different things like that. So great 316 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.680 relationship with Brent. I'm happy for him, and I'm happy that they picked 317 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.680 at least one of the guys that I thought would be in the mix for 318 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.240 the job. But what's the one thing you want fans to know about who 319 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.119 he is and and and what we can expect from him? Uh? You 320 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.920 know when he gets started here. Well, the number one thing is I 321 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:17.240 always say is that people will really the players are going to love him. 322 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.799 He's a players coach. Uh, He's very relatable to the players, which 323 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.079 in today's age of players in football and athletics and himself, you have to 324 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:29.519 be relatable. And I think he does a great job with that. Uh. 325 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.279 The community is gonna love him. He's been here before, he's lived 326 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.119 here, his brother played here, his brother was a starter here, starting 327 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.799 wide receiver here. Uh. And and I think all the alumni and people 328 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.079 are going to be behind him because you know, we we we know who 329 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:47.200 he is. We know he's a wildcat. And I think the biggest thing 330 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.519 the fans are going to love about Brent is I think Brent will stay here 331 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.279 as long as we have and he understands you gotta win games. It's a 332 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.160 business at the end of the day. Yeah, And and he's going to 333 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.640 be a guy that wants to be here and we don't have to worry about 334 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.880 him picking up and leaving. I'll say that. So, so times have 335 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.319 changed, obviously, I'm gonna hate to say this. It's been twenty three 336 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:07.799 years since you were here. I don't know if you feel old. I 337 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.559 know I am, But let me ask you. A change of times and 338 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.000 players come and go, leaving all that they're hoping to keep some guys here. 339 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.960 Did you ever think of leaving? Even though you didn't? And I'll 340 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:23.839 tell you what Lamar told us after you respond to that. I never, 341 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:27.359 I never once thought of leaving. And when I came up and played, 342 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:32.079 that wasn't part of the game. You know, you were You had to 343 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:37.240 stick it out, compete, get better, and adjust. But in today's 344 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.880 market is a little bit different. I mean, I'm sure if the portal 345 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.200 was allowed during that time, guys would have went to different opportunities because at 346 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.680 times, sometimes things just don't work out with you and the coaches and the 347 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.519 schemes in a way that things work out. But me personally, I never 348 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.200 would have left. I loved every second from the time that I got off 349 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.720 the plane to go on to coachies, to do our many get to our 350 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.319 camp, you know, training camp, and to you know, playing basketball, 351 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.720 winning games in football, and the whole experience in two sign A community 352 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:08.720 was great to me. So sol Mon tells us that it's about and his 353 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.839 brother would tell these guys, it's about building your own legacy at a place 354 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:17.759 you've decided to come and you you did that. You have a legacy here 355 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:22.680 because of the things you did and the miracles you worked in Washington. You 356 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.480 know what. And he's he is one thousand percent correct because if you go 357 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.920 to Alabama, they won I don't know how many national championships. So when 358 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.240 you go back, you blend in because they don't know who you are because 359 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.920 there's so many different great players. But you can't create your own legacy. 360 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.200 When I go back, I was honored to be able to be putting the 361 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.599 ring of honor. It'll be there forever. People that know me. The 362 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.079 community has embraced me and my family. When I came back and when I 363 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.319 was also playing. So he is absolutely right. You know, the legacy 364 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:57.599 is there and it'll never go anywhere. You know, we talk about how, 365 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.920 you know, Arizona's really you know, they're not Washington, they're not 366 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.559 Michigan, they're not Ohio State. They're kind of a next level a next 367 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:10.000 level program. But still even with that, it's still important to some people, 368 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.200 right in terms of as you say, legacies. You know, Lamont 369 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.960 Lamont Huntley talked about, you know, having the block A in his heart. 370 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.160 Just because Arizona's not competing for a national championship every year, it's still 371 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:27.440 a place that can be meaningful and important to players and coaches, don't you 372 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:34.400 think absolutely great great facility, great fan base. That was that that that 373 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.400 that coach fits. You know, you got to give them credit where credit 374 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.920 is due. Brought that, brought the aura back, the alumni, you 375 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.720 know, brought us, gave us the opportunity and ability to be more visual 376 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.559 and be more part of the program and still wanted was huge. So that 377 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.920 those are things for sure, our program may not be you know, Alabama, 378 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.559 Michigan, Ohio State, but we're gonna compete. We winning in the 379 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:07.400 Alamodo Alamobo and put hands on Oklahoma. And that's and that's what you know 380 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.880 can be the future if we can keep the guys in house and we keep 381 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.680 guys balling, and Brent's gonna do a great job of doing that. Guys, 382 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.640 I'm telling you, they're gonna love brand He's one of the coolest coaches. 383 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.720 But you're gonna respect him because he knows his stuff, he knows his 384 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.960 football. He comes to work hard every day, he's energetic, he's enthusiastic, 385 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.359 and people are gonna want to come play for him. To the funny 386 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.279 thing about it is you came here knowing that you're not the Michigan's blah blah 387 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.680 blah, but you go into Washington and you beat them right, and that 388 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.880 you the underdogs that want to prove that, hey, we can be as 389 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.119 good as you. You felt that in basketball because you were the Michigans in 390 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.680 basketball. Yeah, for sure. And Yeah, I've had luckily. I 391 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.279 was been on both specters of being at Arizona because we're you know, we're 392 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.839 a heavy dominant basketball school and I was able to be part of a great 393 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.920 national championship team at nineteen ninety seven, ninety eighteen. Yeah, being having 394 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.720 a target on your back and then being able to go into places. You 395 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.119 know, I went in and I never lost to USC and FC didn't really 396 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.920 recruit me. So you have that chip on your shoulder. And I think 397 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.759 a lot of the guys that we have, you know, outside of the 398 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.200 Tamac was a five star. He can go anywhere. He wanted to go 399 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.680 anywhere. But a lot of guys are able to come in make their own 400 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.559 legacy and then build respect around the country as well as we've seen over the 401 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:29.119 last few months of our play and what happens when you win football games. 402 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.720 All right, So so he's here, you know, we're seeing videos of 403 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.319 Brennan. He's probably meeting with the team as we speak. If you're in 404 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:40.440 that meeting, what do you want to hear from Brent Brennan? Well, 405 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:42.279 I think the number one thing you want to hear is you want to you 406 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.839 you definitely want to You want to hear stability. You want to hear that 407 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:51.559 you know that the appreciation for the hard work that's been done, that you 408 00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:55.200 guys have done. And then you're going to talk about, you know, 409 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.119 some of the things you know slowly that will implement to help build on what 410 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.039 they've already started. You got to remember, we're coming to a ten season 411 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.359 win program. Usually when you lose coaches, you're losing coaches because you're losing, 412 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.319 right, So we're getting a new coach because and because enough, because 413 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.119 our coach wanted to go to a program that was already winning. What's the 414 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.039 uphill battle for him? And it's gonna be an uphill battle for Brent because 415 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.400 now you got to match fourteen wins in Washington and you got to match ten 416 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.200 wins in Arizona. So I think the number one thing is, hey, 417 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.039 guys, listen, what you guys have accomplished and started here is amazing. 418 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.880 Let's keep that trend going. Let's stay focused and locked in on the things 419 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.759 we need to do from the weight room perspective, taking care of your business 420 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.160 off to fill in the classroom, and to making sure you're mastering your craft 421 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:44.000 and getting better each day at your position. That's what it's about. Yeah, 422 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.599 yeah, just kind of. And he's that guy. You can see 423 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.559 videos from him. He's inspiring. He's the coaches a players coach, Like 424 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.720 you said, so you need the kids today need that type of player coach. 425 00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:00.000 I'm sorry, right, one thousand percent specially dealing with what just happened. 426 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.039 You know, that the shock factor. So now if he can eat 427 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.839 the shock shock factor and brench that kind of guy, he gonna talk to 428 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.519 each and every individual person that's in that in that room, outside of just 429 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.759 the team the team meeting, He's gonna sit down and talk to all the 430 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.960 players because he understands a lot. There's some grooming that's got to be done. 431 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.799 And we got a great, great nucleus of players. If we can 432 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.279 keep them in house, and from my understanding, the quarterback FORFEEDA is gonna 433 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:32.039 be him and t Max said that they're gonna stay. You know where people 434 00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.920 don't give credit where credit is doing. My opinion is that offensive line play 435 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:40.079 outstanding football all year long and they need to be They need to get their 436 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:44.640 kudos and flowers because they just literally, you know, just were dominant. 437 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.319 And if we can keep that nucleus together along with the defense, uh, 438 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.519 the defense of the guys what they've done on the deepest side of the ball, 439 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.599 turn the ball over and just playing relentless, we're gonna be okay. 440 00:28:53.759 --> 00:29:00.079 From what you know of of of of Brennan, how he how he appeared 441 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.240 to the fans, right, you know the fans. But you know Jet 442 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.480 was energetic, he was involved, he was doing stuff, he was going 443 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.240 places. You saw him everywhere. What's what's your thoughts on how how Brent 444 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:17.119 will will do with the fans and what would you advise him in terms of 445 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.599 dealing with the fans. Well, what I would think that I think that 446 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:25.119 the biggest thing I mean in my opinion is is Brent is very charismatic and 447 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.640 is a great leader amongst men himself. He don't you know, it's not 448 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:32.240 this ain't his first rodeo, reacting like he hasn't coached. And then before 449 00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:36.279 you know, he took a program, you know San Jose State program and 450 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:41.279 and and was able to rejuvenate and have a winning culture, meaning act and 451 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.599 winning more games than losing. So, you know, the fans, you 452 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.920 know, will he beat Jet? He's not Jet. He's Brent Brennan and 453 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.880 he's gonna But he has the energy and an aura about him that the people 454 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.759 will fall in love about. He will come out, he'll be in the 455 00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.920 community, he will talk to people. He's a he's a he's an easy 456 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:03.799 going guy, very very transparent, very structured, but also you know, 457 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.519 a very likable guy. So I think the community, to be honest with 458 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.039 you, they will attach to him so well. I mean I did with 459 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.440 his brother Brad. Me and his brother Brad have been friends since we played 460 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.279 together. You know, he's one of my top receivers when I played. 461 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.519 And so I don't think that transitional period is gonna be hard at all. 462 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.880 He's a lovable community guy and everybody's gonna see it. It's gonna take some 463 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.920 patience, a little bit not patient. It's gonna take a little time. 464 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.400 But once people you get to know him, it's easy. Man. Brent 465 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.839 Brennan is a great guy. So I quoted you in my story with your 466 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.640 tweet and you're talking about he knows the Arizona Way. A couple of people 467 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.160 are asking me what does that mean? What does the Arizona Way mean? 468 00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:48.720 Well? To me, what I meant by he knows the Arizona Way is 469 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.880 he's been in the program. He was here when we were winning, when 470 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.960 we were a winning program. He's been around it, and he knows players 471 00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.640 and the Arizona Way. For me, I was brought up because coach Tomy 472 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:06.640 was a player's guy. Was he understands how to maximize and get the best 473 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:11.599 out of players. He understands how to maximize and get the guys to to 474 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.480 you know, exceed expectation. And and that to me is what Coach Tomy 475 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.559 was able to do. We didn't have a lot of five star guys and 476 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.680 you know, we didn't have that, but he know how, he knew 477 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.200 how to get and maximize the best out of all the players and make us 478 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.599 understand that it's about the team, not individuals, and that's what's gonna make 479 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:36.599 things better and make you successful because when the team wins, everybody wins. 480 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.440 And that's what Coach Tomy's you know, that's the way that he was brought 481 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:44.240 that he brought us up was understanding about you know, one team, one 482 00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.359 goal. So I think I think, I think the Arizona way is just 483 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.480 being able to get all the guys down on the same page, rolling back 484 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.279 in from all the outside noise, and and he'll build trust and he'll gain 485 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.519 their trust with them. I'm telling you, Brent will be here for a 486 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.480 long time. So it's no promise you that, no million dollar question or 487 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:09.720 t who is better than ninety eight team or this team the ninety eighteen or 488 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.680 who this Steve, this past team. Come on, man, I want 489 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.119 this is what I would say to defend this team. This team was, 490 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.000 this team was was was awesome, don't get me wrong. And there you 491 00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:29.279 figure the USC over time. If we beat USC and overtime, you beat 492 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.720 Mississippi State with you dose it in by one. We took Washington down the 493 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.160 dogfight your three. You're right there. So they could easily have been won, 494 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.680 you know, eleven twelve games for sure, but they didn't. And 495 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.640 we'll leave it at that. You know, we'll leave it at that. 496 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:51.640 It's perfect. That's perfect, A great answer. Yeah, I love it. 497 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.039 Did you have one work? No? That that's that. That's or 498 00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.680 you know, appreciate some of your insight because you know, the first thing 499 00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.759 that fans want to do is they want to get to know the new coach 500 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.480 and you and I hate to use the term, but you know, it's 501 00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.920 it's personal to a lot of a lot of people here because there's an attachment 502 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.880 to these coaches, whether it's it's Tommy Lloyd, whether it was Loud Olsen 503 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.640 or Sean Miller, Dick Tommy whoever, you know, the fancy. It's 504 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.200 a small enough town where you want to know your coach and you want to 505 00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.079 get attached to him. And I think that, uh, they'll appreciate the 506 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.480 fact that you've got some insight into this because uh, you know that's the 507 00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:28.440 first thing that people want to do. You know, you're coming off this 508 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.519 great season that as on the ad and then you kind of felt like, 509 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:34.279 Okay, he left, and now it's going to be a mess, and 510 00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:36.880 now you're hoping that you got a guy who can kind of hold it together. 511 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.000 Yeah, and and and he and he will and and and believe there's 512 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.680 got there's work to be done. Just because you retire guys don't mean it 513 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:47.960 automatically means you're gonna be good. And he understands that you you have to 514 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:51.599 put it together and you have to be the best part of your players. 515 00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.279 And I think I think Brent will be the guy that will do that. 516 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.599 I think the community will love him when they get to hear him speak. 517 00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.000 And like I said, I know Brent personally, so it's it's it's he's 518 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.599 gonna do a fantastic job. I have no doubt about it. So one 519 00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:06.319 last thing, just the listing, because we saw we talked about this, 520 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.679 so uh, maybe ten days ago whatever it happened, Uh, truck cecil, 521 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:13.360 Uh the issue, run your lead by the league, and now Gunner 522 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:21.719 cruises Maldonado who returned to the the interception of the fumble or whatever it was. 523 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:28.960 You think that's about accurate with all time plays? Absolutely, whatever, 524 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.800 whatever the fans thing, man, I've never been biased about about things like 525 00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:34.920 that. I mean, I look at you know, I look you gotta 526 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.639 if you look at and dissect the whole perspective of the games, then you 527 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:42.800 can make your own assessment on what you think what you think is the best 528 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:45.159 play. They all were great plays. You know, Chuck is outstanding, 529 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.719 I know him well, friend of mine as well. And the young boys 530 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.280 had to do the interception and then the lead by the lake. The bottom 531 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.280 line is that they're all great plays, and then everybody's gonna have their opinion 532 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.159 about which play was was better than the other. You know, I just 533 00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:00.559 look at the circlestance of the game. We did it for you know, 534 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.119 we did it for a win, Chucks, and then was for a win, 535 00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.039 you know, And and all the three of those players are all plays 536 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:13.559 that that were significant in winning the game. So I think, you know, 537 00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:15.400 it's it's all based upon the eyes that you know, it's all from 538 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.719 the different eyes to see it. Thank you man, appreciate you all the 539 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.599 time. Okay, buddy, thank you well, thank you great stuff, 540 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:28.079 great stuff, and we're Tis Jenkins awesome. Look again, you know, 541 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.480 as I said, we want to know. Okay, who we got. 542 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:35.320 I think this. You know there's panic in the streets for two days. 543 00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.960 I think you didn't. Fine, yeah, and then need to come back. 544 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.159 Maybe a couple of other guys just kind of sign on. I think 545 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:46.679 you can win them today. You can win them today in their meeting or 546 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:51.719 whatever, and then press conference I'm sure will be tomorrow, and then goods 547 00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.000 tomorrow.

You know what, A 609 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:29.519 lot has happened since the last time we talked. Like before before when we 610 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:36.159 talked, the basketball team was good. The football we were rocking and rolling. 611 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.400 We're going to be in a college football playoffs next year. Done done, 612 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:43.360 you know, done? That was so last year. That was so 613 00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:51.440 last year. No, No, Steve, that was last week two weeks 614 00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.920 ago when it was twenty twenty three. So what do you think with all 615 00:40:54.960 --> 00:41:02.039 this stuff? You know what I think I think that he key was was 616 00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:07.679 finally able to get the guy that he wanted three three years ago. Remember 617 00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:13.079 the reports that were coming out was and then and then doctor Robbins pushed fish 618 00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:19.519 on him, and so, yeah, I forgot about That's a great point. 619 00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.039 That's a great point. I forgot about that. You know. So 620 00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:28.039 there's there there was that. I'm sure that that that. Uh, that 621 00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:35.199 interview was like, hey, so, how you've been doing so how yeah 622 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.679 brend saying how you like me? Saying what the hell took you so long? 623 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.079 How do you like me? Now? Yeah? For sure. Did 624 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:47.199 you listen to the interviews I heard? I heard some of them. I 625 00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:52.719 heard a little bit of both of them. You know, I'm I'm excited. 626 00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.199 And one of the biggest things that I'm excited about is that we're going 627 00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:00.920 to get a guy that's going to be here. We we we can't we 628 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.840 can't think that we can run around like like the big dogs in the in 629 00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:09.360 the top six, you know, yeah, we can't think like that. 630 00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:13.960 And uh, and these people that keep saying, well they got to bring 631 00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:20.000 back Nansen Nanson's not coming back. Yeah, And any anybody that signs to 632 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:23.079 go somewhere else, they're not coming back, especially if anybody that leaves Arizona 633 00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:29.159 to go to Texas is not coming back. Now. I have heard Chris 634 00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:34.239 Chris del Content ain't coming back. I have heard that Dwayna Keena hasn't actually 635 00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:40.000 gone to Texas and they haven't announced the you know, his hiring like they 636 00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:45.079 announced Nansen. So you know, I think I think Duyna Keena might still 637 00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:47.719 be in play, but I think Nansen. Yeah, And you know what, 638 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:53.599 Brent Brandon is gonna doesn't, shouldn't and probably won't have somebody forced on 639 00:42:53.760 --> 00:43:00.280 him. No, I don't think so. And the coaches that he has 640 00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:04.719 and the people that he knows that he's going to bring in, a lot 641 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:08.679 of these guys from southern California have known those guys too. It's not like 642 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:14.480 they only spoke to the Arizona coaches when they were being recruited. They talked 643 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.599 to a lot of people, heard a lot of stuff. So, you 644 00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:24.519 know, and not everybody can transfer because you could end up without exactly exactly 645 00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:29.840 you know, you could you could you could transfer someplace and then get replaced 646 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:30.800 and they go, oh, no, coach, I want to come back. 647 00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:36.159 I'm sorry, man, I got somebody else you said you were leaving? 648 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:42.920 Yeah, exactly with you? Agree with you? So are you're You're 649 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.320 You're happy with it? Now talk basketball? You called it and you mentioned 650 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:52.559 basketball when you started. What the hell's going on? I don't know. 651 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.199 I mean, we can't. We can't blame this on Miles Simon getting his 652 00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.400 eligibility back and nobody knows what the heck to do is. That's what happened. 653 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:06.039 Remember, Simon came back. Simon came back at the end of ninety 654 00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:08.719 six, and then they lost a bunch of They lost a few games because 655 00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:14.079 like they couldn't figure out what the rotation was and who's supposed to pass the 656 00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:17.199 ball and who's supposed to shoot it, and but this team doesn't have that 657 00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:22.239 excuse. It just looks like they're just lackadaisical. To put to coin, 658 00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:28.519 no want to use one of Loose's words, But anyway, I don't know. 659 00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:31.239 We'll see how that plays out.

We won two games, he said, hey, leaving and you 694 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.840 guys we all laughed at him. I remember telling myself when he was talking, 695 00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:00.599 saying, oh, this guy is crazy, but he he broke the 696 00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:02.800 news four months ago for us.

And 700 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.960 the other thing I just want to say was, it's kind of funny. 701 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:27.320 I told my daughter in California this morning. You know, Noah and and 702 00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:30.599 Tea Mack.

And and that's 705 00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:44.679 how I felt with with Noah and t mac and and Manu and those guys. 706 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:49.760 You've become a big man and you become closed.

So there's no guarantees too, there's no guarantee. 714 00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:22.360 There's no guarantees. What guaranteed did we have when Jed Fish got here? 715 00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:25.320 It was the unknown? You remember the press he talked about the press 716 00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:30.079 conferences all COVID. It was on run on face, on Facebook, but 717 00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:32.280 on zoom Vision we had no we had our own press cover. It was 718 00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:37.559 a basketball game going on during his press conference. I remember if it was 719 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.199 a women's game or a men's game.
