Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. I hope it's been a good holiday
season for you guys as well.
Speaker 1: Definitely has been a good holiday season. Just give me
a quick recap. How is Christmas for the Beck family
and the festivites that you've been doing over the holidays.
Speaker 3: It is good.
Speaker 4: We always celebrate Christmas here at home in California, and
then we run up and visit family.
Speaker 3: My wife's family is up in southern Utah, so I
was actually just up in.
Speaker 4: The Richfield, Salina area, spending time with family and friends,
taking the kids in the outdoors, getting some getting that
pheasant hunting and having some fun. And now back home.
The draft process of our pre draft guys has already started.
We already got college you guys that have wrapped up
their college careers starting the prep for this incoming.
Speaker 3: Or upcoming draft. That's already happening. So I'm back at
home already working.
Speaker 4: Was out at the field this morning today with guys
just working to get better.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's how it goes. You get a one or
two days off, you got to enjoyed the family. Sounds
like the Hunter trip was success, and then right back
to business. As you mentioned, That's just how it goes
in the nature of it's crazy to think that the
football season is already over and we're in the transfer
Reporter Arrow, let's start there before we get into you know,
the more the positive of Bear and what he did
in the pop tarts boul Michael's dead hits the portal.
You heard me talk about it before I welcome you in.
How do you go get another backup guy that the
room is stint. I think Enick Watson's coming in, but
you got Bear maybe Enich if I'm correct, And then
Trayson Boorgay in that quarterback room because Emerson's going on
a mission.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I know Enick when he got off
his mission. I got to spend little time with him
right when he got back training, so I know he's
up there.
Speaker 3: I think. You know, look, McKay is a great kid,
hard worker.
Speaker 4: You know. The tough part is is when you're a
competitive person and you can kind of see the writing
on the wall, you don't just want to sit around
hoping that your opportunity comes via an injury, because a
you don't want that to happen to somebody that you know,
you're a friend of that, like you've been in the
quarterback room with him for a long time. That's just
not the way you want to live your life hoping
somebody gets hurt.
Speaker 3: You know, does that happen in football? Absolutely happens in.
Speaker 4: All sports, that opportunities come by way of injuries. But
you know the tough part for BYU is yes, everybody's
gonna know, you know, for the next however many years,
bar Bachmeyer is the guy who came out and took
advantage of a great situation. You know, the team played
played really well. He played well, he was able to
grow and develop. I love this lost game for him,
you know, I think for a for a young player
to start. I think that was his fourteenth start. You know,
you look around the country, a lot of players don't
get their fourteenth start sometimes until they're like junior year,
and that that's even if they play some their sophomore year.
You know, for some people back in the day, you
only played eleven game regular seasons, and the twelfth game
was a bowl game. So even if you started every
single game your entire sophomore year, you're fourteenth game was
not even until your junior year. So to see a
guy that's a true freshman fourteen games under his belt,
that's gonna be a tough spot for a player, especially
any veteran player to want to go.
Speaker 3: They'll they'll still steer clear of that.
Speaker 4: Wherever you are gonna look for backup depth is gonna
be all young young players, young players that are willing
to use time to develop and to learn and to trust.
Speaker 3: Oh hey this is great.
Speaker 4: I get to be behind bear watch and learn and
then if something happens, I'll get my opportunity.
Speaker 3: But I have time. I don't have to feel that
pressure that I got to be playing now.
Speaker 1: That's good in that freshman you know, maybe red shirt
freshman type era. That's a guy that's going to be
coming into develop Okay, yeah, okay, that makes complete sense.
And that's that's tough. It's tough, Like you said, like McKay,
he's a competitor and you're gonna be sitting around and waiting.
I mean, the last true freshman john to throw for
three thousand yards in the season was man by the
name of Trevor Lawrence. And if you know college football,
I think he did pretty well and bears in that
great company and a phenomenal season. Just what he was
able to accomplish. How does a quarterback do that? Coming
in in June, you win the starting job and then
by the end of the season you give BYU their
twelfth win. That was the first time that that's happened
since two thousand and one.
Speaker 3: Well, you have to look at the team's situation.
Speaker 4: There's no way, regardless of how talented a player is,
that if you drop them in a situation without a
good team, that those type of things still happen. I
can't remember how long ago it was, but I saw
this little statistic of the players that have started so
many games, won so many games.
Speaker 3: And had certain statistics their freshman year.
Speaker 4: If you look at all of those teams, those teams
were all playing in either National championship games major college
bowl games.
Speaker 3: Like it's an all round good football team.
Speaker 4: And I know that at the beginning of the year
when there were discussions about out, you know, do we
play Bear, it depended on the football team around him.
Speaker 3: It depended on how good of a team it was.
Speaker 4: Because freshman players in bad situations, it just is so rough,
like I said, regardless of the talent. So when I
look at this year, it was so great to have
a BYU team that was so good around him that
he was able to go out and be utilized in
a way that they could use his strengths.
Speaker 3: They could use him in the run game, they.
Speaker 4: Could set up passing plays where it was very clean
with what needed to be done. He didn't have to
play outside of himself. He didn't have to try to
do too much. It was basically play within the system.
This jubute the football, be smart, not turn the ball over,
use your legs.
Speaker 3: When you can.
Speaker 4: And YU is able to win twelve games and be
a team that again not to you know, beat a
dead horse, but it should be in the college football
playoff with a freshman playing at quarterback. That's how good
the football team was around the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a dead horse either, John,
But the Big Twelve I think is three and oh
or six and oh right now, and how they played
in the SEC is zero and four. I'm told all
the time by these these national guys that they they
got depth. It's hands down the best, and it doesn't
seem like that's the case. Miami beat Texas A and M,
and it just seems like the Big Twelve conference is
a better conference. And there's other conferences not just named
the SEC and Big Ten that can play college football.
Speaker 4: Well, I think that what's going to start happening is
because of how now the money has evened out. You know,
there was a lot of schools back in the day
that were getting players to certain schools with giving things
and different variations of what they would be giving, whether
it was cash or different things. And I do know
that that happened in the SEC. I do know that
happened in the Big Ten because I had teammates that
would tell me about it and they would ask me,
well what did you get?
Speaker 3: And well, I didn't get anything, you know.
Speaker 4: And so I think that now that it's a little
bit more of an even playing field, and you look
at a school like Texas Tech, who would have guessed
an era of you know, money being involved at ten,
Tech would be the one having the most to be
able to give to players. And so, you know, I
just think that things are balancing out and it's great
to see a conference that BYU is in be doing
so well. I again, I love the move to the
Big Twelve. I think it's a great conference for BYU.
I think it's an amazing schedule that they get to
put together every year. And so for BYU to have
the success that they've had over the last two years,
that also speaks volumes for where BYU is at. To
be in a solid conference like the Big Twelve and
to be as successful as BYU has been, it just
speaks to really the culture, the people, the team, the players,
everything that is BYU football.
Speaker 3: Right now, you.
Speaker 1: Mentioned culture, Let's get right into it, John, I'm going
to rip off the band aid. You know how this
works in college athletics. Coaches go sometimes and you know
it sounds like that. Yet Morgan Scalley's interested in a
rod that thought of the if A were to leave
as crazy to me of just everything he's built. I
think he's the greatest oc at BYU in program history
from what I've seen and how he's developed talent and
put it in the NFL, and then Jay Hill and
the talks to Michigan. What do you make of all
of this? Fans are kind of getting sad towards the
end of the year, but to me, I look at
this as a positive of the Kolonie Sataki coaching tree.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean if you look at like, let's jump
back to the Lavelle Edwards era and let's look at
the coaches that were a part of.
Speaker 3: His staffs and how they went places.
Speaker 4: There is a list of coaches, especially on the offensive
side of the football, where they were part of the
BIU success and then they went on to have great
careers other places. And I'm sure in those eras it
would be really tough for the fan base to feel like, wait,
we're losing a coordinator again. Wait we've had this type
of success and now our guys going like, yeah, it's
always tough, but like coaches want to be able to progress,
whether it's to be a you know, an offensive coordinator
or a head coach. So like I look at it
as you know, hey, it would be awesome to keep Jay,
It'd be awesome to keep a Rod, don't.
Speaker 3: I don't want any of those guys going anywhere.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, opportunities come up.
It doesn't mean that they're like no longer a BYU person.
You know, There's just there's more things than just one team,
one football program.
Speaker 3: There's life aspects to it.
Speaker 4: There's aspects for what it can do for a person's future,
for what it can provide for not just their family,
but also extended family. And so I think, like, look
the success of BYU right now, those guys are hot,
hot items, especially Jay with what he's been able to
do with the defense over the last couple of years.
I think it would be really tough for a program
to lose both coordinators in the same year.
Speaker 3: I do think that would be tough.
Speaker 4: I think it would be tough on Killanne in the
same year, have to replace both. I'm hoping that that's
not the case, you know, but again, if those guys
choose to take that path, congratulations to them, and you know,
an awesome opportunity that BYU has had to have them
as their coordinators, and then it's just.
Speaker 3: Kind of a you know, come what may like, Like
if that's the.
Speaker 4: Course that they take, then BYU has to move on
and those assistants that have been there, they might be
the ones that get the opportunities to take over as
the coordinators. And again that's what happened at BUYU for
a long time, when certain offensive coordinators would come in
for a little bit, then they would be out, or
they would be an assistant underneath the offensive cornor that
would take an opportunity somewhere else.
Speaker 3: It's just it's the way things go at successful places.
Speaker 4: People are always wanting to pick the tree of the
successful places.
Speaker 3: I've watched it happen too.
Speaker 4: I mean I stay in contact with Kyle Shanah at
the Niners and I know him and his staff and
the GM and the assistant GM that was there, and
that's a phrase that they would always say to me,
you know, John, it's just tough. Like we've had some
really good years, but it makes it tough because the
tree just keeps getting picked and BYU that's yeah, teams
are going to come and try to pick from this
tree because of the success.
Speaker 1: That's just how it goes. People take from the tree
and you know it goes in at some pointy every
coordinator position coach is going to get elevated, wants to
be a head coach on their own. They're in it
for that reason, So you never know. I do have
to ask you this, if Jill were to leave to
go to Michigan, who do you're well connected? Who do
you think the replacements are? Obviously I think they look internally,
but you got some good external cannadis as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, look that's tough.
Speaker 4: I mean I have, you know, teammates of mine that
I played with at BYU guys like Kelly Papinga, you know,
Gennaro Guildford. There's guys that are on that stet. There's
also BYUS guys floating around. I mean, I just saw
a thing. I was texting Vic Soko because he just
took a job at UCLA. But I know Sean Knua,
a former teammate of mine that he's at USC right now,
is a.
Speaker 3: Defensive line coach. Like there's just there's BYU guys around.
There's BYU guys internally.
Speaker 4: I think that you know, again, I'm not on the
defensive side of the ball, but I just there's a
lot of guys that are around, and you know, there
is one thing I would say, when you keep things internal,
you get to keep the consistency, the calls, the scheme,
the teaching methods, there's so many things.
Speaker 3: You just have to be so careful with too much change.
Speaker 4: I tell people all the time, like, if you want
a successful place, consistency is one of the things you
have to build, whether it's for the quarterback position or
the defensive side of the ball. Like being able to
maintain that and build with the same players and the
same scheme. It just helped so much constantly switching a scheme.
It doesn't matter the talent level of the players. If
you're switching schemes, there's an adjustment period. There's a learning period,
not just the verbal like the language side of it,
but the teaching side of it, the skill side of it,
Like you have to learn what you have.
Speaker 3: I mean, I remembered this lesson forever.
Speaker 4: Like when I was at BUYU and we brought in
coach and I from Texas Tech. He brought with him
an offense that really truly was built a little different
than the players that Buyu had, And so when we
first started running that offense, we had to go through
a learning period of okay, well that to that offense.
Speaker 3: But here's what Byu has. Here's the type of players.
Speaker 4: That b Yu gets, and you have to adapt and
you kind of have to shape it to what fits
you it.
Speaker 3: And it took really truly.
Speaker 4: A half a season to three quarters of a season
before you start to feel like you hit a little
bit of a group, you know, like hit your stride.
And that's why I say also, it would be really
tough for Byu to lose both unless you were able to,
you know, bring from within two guys that get to
keep that same consistent thing on both sides of the football.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just hope that isn't the case. Look, my
worst case scenario, these are just my thoughts in the pain,
is you retain a Rod and you lose j Hill.
I'm hoping that's, you know, the worst case scenario. Best
case scenario, you keep both. I know Bou is trying
to maybe push to to get them. I think the
best thing about Utah playing our bowl game right now
as we speak, is that it's given maybe Budio an
opportunity to maybe pitch j Hill on last time. But
these guys have to make decisions at the end of
day that is best for themselves. So I am I'm
going to be happy wherever they go, because at the
end of the day, when a guy moves on or
if he gets you know, a pay raise somewhere else.
I always tell people, Look, you're working as hard on
your job that you're currently in. You get a better
opportunity or you're gonna get a pay race, You're gonna
take a look at that, and you have to look
at everything as a whole. And at the end of today,
Jay Hill, Aaron I think they want to be head coaches,
super competitive and they've done on a phenomenal job. So
I love and support and and hold the best for him.
Love to STI see him in Uyu Blue, but if
not totally understand that's the nature of the of the business.
But I think a guy that has excelled so much
this season that will be in blue next year is
Bear Bachmeyer. The performance in the Pop Tarts Bowl, John,
your reaction to it, he was not one hundred percent.
I don't even know if he was eighty I'm not
gonna really speak too much to that, but to be
that dinged up to get hurt on the first play
and then sling the ball all over the place and
basically destroy that Georgia Tech defense, which is a good
football team. I want anybody to take that away from
Georgia Tech was remarkable. What do you make a Bear's
performance over Saturday?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought he did a great job. That's why
I was mentioning, Like, you know, that was fourteenth game
and all the experience, all of the practices, all of
the games, Like when you play injured and you play limited,
you have to be able to overcome those limitations because
of understanding, because of seeing the field clearly, because of
having experience of running certain plays, you can at times
progress through them quickly like you're able to play at
a more veteran level. That's how you overcome sometimes playing injured.
Like take a freshman in his fifth, fourth or fifth
game and you injure that guy. It is so much
tougher for that person to play at a high level
because they're still in those learning phases, those growing phases.
They're still gonna make mistakes, they're gonna compound mistakes, because
they're gonna do something and to try to avoid a mistake,
they accidentally fall into another one. That's a very youthful
maneuver at quarterback. You know, you sometimes aren't always smart
with the football. You try to make too many plays,
you try to do too much well. When a guy's
playing injured, Boom, he's instant limited. One of the first
things he's limited in is athleticism, the ability to make
a play when either they mess up on the read
or nothing's there. When you take that ability away, now
you have to see the field more clear, you have
to be more decisive, you have to be smarter because
you've taken a part of you away.
Speaker 3: And so I thought Bear it really showed in that
game that he had, you.
Speaker 4: Know, fourteen games like beyond a full season, you could say,
underneath his belt of experience. And it showed, and I
thought it was one of his best games of the year.
From an efficiency standpoint, from a decision making standpoint, it was.
Speaker 3: You know, it was a great way to cap off
a really cool.
Speaker 4: Year for Bear because he was brought along at the
beginning of the season at the right pace, like they
didn't ask too much of them in the first few games,
and then they asked a little bit more of them,
and then progressively you could see it build, and then
really truly they just started treating him like a veteran
player in what he was being asked to do.
Speaker 3: And he did so many good things throughout, and I
thought that this game definitely.
Speaker 4: Showed all of that coming together, and it was really
cool for all the guys around him as well, Like
BYU has done a great job of shaping the supporting
cast and the people around Bear, and they all had
really solid games. And I mean, I can't even imagine
what had been like to have LG back there. But
I'm kind of going to answer like I answered that,
but I thought of one more thing right before you
asked me that question about Bear.
Speaker 3: I was thinking about the coaching stuff. I hope it's
a caam going back to the situation. But here's one
of the things.
Speaker 4: Like BYU had to extend Kilane, they had to renegotiate
and give him a new deal just a few weeks ago,
and so one of the.
Speaker 3: Toughest things for BYU right now is.
Speaker 5: It would my guess is it would be impossible to
re sign and restructure and give bigger, better deals to
three coaches in the same year, like you had, Like
they like they had to do a lot to get Kalan,
which everybody knows it had to come from outside of BYU, Right,
they found a way to add.
Speaker 3: To the pot to keep that coach.
Speaker 4: Well, now, if you truly do have two coordinators that
are both sitting there with opportunities to leave, my guess
is both of the opportunities.
Speaker 3: To leave are for more money.
Speaker 4: So somewhere there's going to be negotiations with those coaches
of well, guys, there's probably not a way for us
to keep both of them and pay both of them more.
So what fits us in terms of who we really
truly believe we can get, Like that's one of the
things that nobody accept their agents and that coach and
whoever's doing the dealings at the UYU probably know what
these other schools are offering, because it would be very
hard to have both coordinators being being told well, you'll
make one and a half to two million more at
these other schools, and then BIU be able to come
back and say, well, that's okay.
Speaker 6: We can match that.
Speaker 3: That's now four million more on the table. After you
just went how many million more on the table for
the head coach. And so that's where I think it
could be tough. As much as we would love to,
you know, keep.
Speaker 6: Both of them, I think when you know, I, if
it does come to negotiations and the school has to
step up and pay more than what they've paid for
one of them, it might be only possible to keep
one of them because of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you bring up a good point about that. Kalie
just got his deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the hard part.
Speaker 4: I just don't know how any school across the country
can do all three, both coordinators and a head coach.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, within a month. That's just that. I
think that would be so hard.
Speaker 1: I've never seen it before. And next weeks to your
point of it being hard. So that's just the reality
of the nature of any job, you know, with everything,
you can't retain everybody. And look, I think Colonie understands
and knows that. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: But look, this is a if YU does keep them,
it's I was gonna say, if YU does keep them,
sorry to interrupt right.
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, if they do.
Speaker 4: If they do keep them, that just goes to show
how important it is for them to be at Uyu.
And it could be because what they think they can
accomplish next year. It could be because of like I said,
there's always more than just football. There's family, there's life,
there's all these things. Like you look at some of
those other schools, Like you know when there was talks
about Penn State, I've worked a ton at Penn State.
Like it's a very different area of the United States,
and there is nothing around that town that houses Penn State.
You know, you got Harrisburg our halfway Pittsburgh a couple
hours away.
Speaker 3: Like that also plays into it.
Speaker 4: How great of an area the Provo Orum wass that's
front Like I mean, it's a great area of the
United States. And so that's another thing that comes into
play of when these people choose to leave, they leave
the byu Utah County atmosphere. And for families, that's a
great place to be and sometimes it's just unmatched what
other places can provide for your family. And that's another
thing where maybe we got a chance to keep both
those guys because of the community and what it means
to their families.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the community means a lot, and I know that
family is a big part of it. J Hill being
from you to all of that play as a factor.
So we'll we'll find out. I think we will find
out sooner rather than later, once this Utah game is
over here and the next little bit. I a deal
could be announced tomorrow the day after, especially with the
transfer portal opening in a few days. We're gonna find
out everything. But regardless of Klanie will rebuild if that's
the case. But I think B Why You will be
just fine. But you gotta celebrate why you have it.
You got to cherish the moments that were good and
for the fact that this team accomplished twelve wins John
for the first time since two thousand and one with
this staff together, whether they stay or not, I think
is something that goes down in BYU history. So it's
one of the top five teams, top five seasons. I
think in b Why you history, you know looking at it.
So I'm gonna celebrate it and not try to think
too much about, you know, the negatives of what could occur.
Regardless of that.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'm there with you as well.
Speaker 4: I think to do what they did in the third
year in the Big twelve and arguably the toughest conference
the BYU's played.
Speaker 3: In in its history.
Speaker 4: I think that speaks volumes to the type of season
that they had and how it should be remembered. And again,
a great team, great accomplishment. The other thing I love
is how many times this team showed resilience and grit
and fought from.
Speaker 3: Behind to win football games. I always say the mark
of a really good football team.
Speaker 4: Is the ability to come from behind, be down, to
keep your wits about you, to keep calm, and to
just have that belief that we're good, we can find
a way to win. And DYU did that so many
times throughout this year, where they just they found a
way and it was different ways also. Sometimes it was
the run game, sometimes it was the past game, sometimes
it was special teams. There were just so many ways
that this team, together in all three phases, found ways
to make plays and.
Speaker 3: To win those games.
Speaker 4: At some point in the game they were down, and
I think that that's also another trademark of a really
good football team.
Speaker 1: Definitely a good football team, but you know, John, you
also have some pretty good services as well that people
can be a part of. You know, how can people
is now that the college season is in into two.
You know, high school football is over. Get a hold
of you if they want to get trained up the
right way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, same way.
Speaker 4: Just jump on the website infoot I'm sorry, Train three
DQB dot com info at Training three dq dot com.
Speaker 3: Just hop on out.
Speaker 4: We've already had a number of people from the city
of Utah and outside of Utah come on down. We
