Like obviously, Kyle Whittingham not officially retiring, 74 00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:04,479 he's stepping down, Morgan Scolly taking over as the head 75 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,400 coach for the University of Utah. He's keeping options open. 76 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:11,199 Where do you think Kyle Whittingham ends up and why? 77 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,719 Speaker 1: Well, he seems like a lifer as far as it 78 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,400 is for the Utah football program. He's had a terrific career. 79 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,639 He's taken Utah to places they've never been, heights they've 80 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080 never reached. And as you've mentioned on the show and 81 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,479 I am in this camp as well, much of that 82 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,439 reputation has been built on the domination he had over 83 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:43,479 the YU for you know, ninth straight. Is it time 84 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,319 for him to step down, that's up to him, and 85 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240 I think he earned that for sure. If he wanted 86 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680 to come back another year and try to get that 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,560 last win against BYU, he's certainly welcome to do that. 88 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,879 But it does appear that this is it for him 89 00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,840 as head coach at Utah. I don't know what he's 90 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:01,199 interested in. I mean, if I close to that program, 91 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080 I don't know. Maybe he just wants to ride to 92 00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,400 jet ski and right off into the sunset. But you know, 93 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,199 he doesn't seem like an administrative type to me, like 94 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,719 someone that would be an ad or special consultant. It 95 00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:16,120 would seemed to me he's the kind of guy that 96 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,079 would just say, you know what, finished, and now I'm 97 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,920 gonna check out my grandkids and go on the lake 98 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,079 and have some fun. So we'll see. But certainly a 99 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,800 former Cougar who made himself into a very very good 100 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,240 college football coach. 101 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,639 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. 102 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: You know, is it the right thing for the university 103 00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:40,399 to say, you know, Kyle, we need you to step down. 104 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:44,439 It's Morgan Scalley's turned You're a legacy, You're a legendary coach. 105 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: You just like who like. Utah is a top fifteen 106 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:50,759 football team this year. 107 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 3: They're three points away from beating their rival on the road, 108 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,800 and they lost to the number four team in the country, 109 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000 Texas Tech at home, and they gave it a good 110 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,199 effort through three quarters. This is a very very very 111 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,560 good football team led by a very very very good 112 00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:12,800 football coach. He probably you know. I mean, look, he's 113 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,399 got more juice, he's got more gas in the take. 114 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,800 Was this the right thing for the university to do? 115 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,959 All things considered a legendary coach, Well, like I said. 116 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that he had a lot of input 117 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,079 into whether it was time or not. And as we 118 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,519 get along in some of these coaches who've been around 119 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,600 a while and they start to look ahead and see 120 00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:37,959 private equity. They've gone through the NIL and the transfer 121 00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:41,160 portal and all of these things that are changing the 122 00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,639 way they have to do their job. And older guys, 123 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,519 older coaches, I think a lot of them look at 124 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,279 it and think this is not what I signed up for, 125 00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:52,120 and it's time to do something else or let somebody 126 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,319 else do it. And that might be where Kyle is. 127 00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:58,839 I mean, he's definitely been grumpy the last couple of years. 128 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,680 That could be because they were losing to BYU, but 129 00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:05,319 maybe he just doesn't want to do it the way 130 00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:09,399 that is required now in terms of every year having 131 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,439 to try to retain everybody that may get a better 132 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,480 offer somewhere else, and that's difficult as a coach to 133 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:19,639 build those those programs you want, and you know, I 134 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,839 think it's difficult for college basketball coaches. There's you know, 135 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:25,879 one hundred guys you got on the football team you 136 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,959 have to worry about. So that could be part of 137 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,480 it as well. 138 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 3: Donald Dixon double D the Daily Heraldi and here on 139 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,519 your Utah ESPN Radio Network, a part of a Cougar 140 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,600 Beach segment brought to you by Orthropros of Utah and 141 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:44,360 American Fork double d. This this BYU football team getting 142 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,319 prep getting ready for the Pop Tarts Bowl. 143 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: Very excited about it. Top twenty five teams, Georgia Tech. 144 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 3: They have an opportunity to cement themselves this team as 145 00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:56,720 one of the best teams in BA football history if 146 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,120 they win. 147 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: You know where would you rank this this team? 148 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 3: They're probably top twelve, top eleven, maybe top ten in 149 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:08,639 the College Football Playoff Final poll at AP pole. 150 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: You know what type of special season do you think 151 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,439 this is? 152 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,439 Speaker 1: I do think that until they change the way that 153 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,879 the process works, you really need to have a good 154 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,079 ranking to start the season. And we thought this BYU 155 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,439 team this year would be maybe top fifteen until Jake 156 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,279 Kretzlov left and they weren't a top twenty five teen 157 00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:35,720 or twenty six in the opening poll. But to be 158 00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:39,199 in the top twenty year, in the top fifteen gives 159 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560 you a leg up if you have a great season, 160 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:46,480 And so I mean, I think if they win the 161 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,319 Bowl game, they would deserve to be at least top fifteen, 162 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,480 maybe higher with what they've got coming back. We don't know. 163 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600 I mean, that's AP voters, and they're kind of thick. 164 00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,560 Oh I know, I used to be one, So you know, 165 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,519 you don't know how that's going to turn out. But 166 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,079 it is a frustrating thing I think for BYU fans 167 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:09,879 and for the program itself to be winning the games 168 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,120 that you think you need to win and putting yourself 169 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,279 in a good position and a committee decides no, you're 170 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:19,600 not good enough. The only way to take it out 171 00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:22,839 of their hands is to win every game, And then 172 00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:25,240 BYU fans and coach to the Brighton will probably do 173 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,519 something else to us, like give us a bad seed, 174 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:31,160 or you know, there's always this complex of being picked 175 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:35,279 on and taking advantage of. But I think by you, 176 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840 over the course of the past two years, like twenty 177 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,799 two and four, they get shown that they're a good 178 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,240 program and need to be reckoned with and a good 179 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,320 start to that next season would be to win the 180 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,759 bowl game and to be a top end to fifteen 181 00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:49,919 ranking to start the season. 182 00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: Well, it's a special season, no doubt. And I think 183 00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:59,720 there's two things that will impact Kugarnation how they view this. 184 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960 It's going to be that potential win or loss versus 185 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,120 Georgia Tech in the Popdars Bowl. And then the secondary 186 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,559 think is where Texas Tech ends up. Where do you 187 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,840 think that had What do you think happens with Texas Tech? 188 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,799 Do you think they take the Natty double D. 189 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: I think their defense allows them to be in every 190 00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:19,480 single game they're going to play in the tournament and 191 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,200 could get them to a position to win it. They're 192 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,480 good enough. I don't think that BA has played a 193 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,759 defense that good in a long time. And I think 194 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:31,440 Aaron Rodgerick admitted that this week that that might be 195 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,799 the best defense he's ever coached against. That puts you 196 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:38,679 in a good position against anybody, and I think it's 197 00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:43,440 why and open enough where you know Indiana is the 198 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,600 top team in the country. That's crazy, but it's what's 199 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,200 happening this year, and I think Texas Tech can beat 200 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,200 anybody that's in that field with that defense that they have, 201 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,759 So that would certainly make things look good for BYU 202 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,679 if Texas Tech can can advance in the playoffs and 203 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,799 and even win a championship. It also shows what you 204 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:07,279 can do when you take care of your nil and 205 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,559 get the right guys and pay the right amounts to 206 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,399 get that defense in there. That's what they did. And 207 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,799 I don't say that you facetiously. I fit in with 208 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:19,360 the respect because just because you have the money doesn't 209 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:21,159 mean you make the right decisions with everybody that you 210 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,200 went out and got, and Texas Tech made a lot 211 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,440 of really good decisions and brought in some really good 212 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,279 players that have turned out to make that defense so good. 213 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: Double D Jay Hill was asked whether or not he 214 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:38,279 wants to be a head coach someday, and he said sure, 215 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,360 but then he kind of went back and forth. He 216 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:44,200 likes where he's at, he loves where he's at. He 217 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,200 had to be the right spot, the right time, the 218 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,360 right place for him and his family. 219 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: What was your eval of that? Read between the lines? 220 00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:55,720 What does he really saying? What do you make of it? 221 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: The thing that I'm ready was between the lines was 222 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,000 that he was a little taken by surprise with the 223 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,919 question and was trying to answer it the best way 224 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,320 he could, but then started thinking about mid answer, sort 225 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480 of went around circular answered the whole thing. I mean, 226 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,759 I think that it's something he considers, but he really 227 00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:19,799 enjoys what he's doing right now, and I have to be, 228 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,519 as he said, the right situation for him and his family. 229 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,080 But you start putting together seasons back to back to 230 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,519 back as a defensive coordinator like he's done and like 231 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:34,200 he's doing, and you're going to get those offers. So 232 00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,720 it's something that he needs to consider, and it's something 233 00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,759 he will consider, and it's definitely a compliment to the 234 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:44,360 program that there is interest in someone like Jay Hill 235 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:45,679 to be a head coach. He's already been a head 236 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,720 coach at the lower level, but what he's doing with 237 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,120 this defense to help put BYU in this position is 238 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,840 something that is drawing attention and he needs He will 239 00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,840 consider it. But I do think that that particular question, 240 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,039 he didn't really exactly know how he wanted to answer it, 241 00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:06,240 so he sort of kind of did both and answered 242 00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:06,919 it both ways. 243 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,879 Speaker 2: So what do you think he was really saying? Then 244 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,480 read between lines double d What he. 245 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,639 Speaker 1: Was really saying was, yes, I'd love to be a 246 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,399 head coach, but now's not the time to talk about it. 247 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:25,399 Speaker 2: You're right, You're probably right. Where do you think he 248 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,080 would end up? 249 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:26,399 Speaker 5: Like? 250 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: What's the idealic location head coaching wise, culture wise? 251 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:32,159 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 252 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,919 Speaker 3: You know Jay, You've been covering him now for a 253 00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:38,039 long time. You see him at Utah Utah man am I. 254 00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,159 Then he goes to Weaver State, he comes to BYU. 255 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,120 What's the idealic look. I think he turned down the 256 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,720 Utah State job last year. Bronco Maendaal end up getting it, 257 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,039 so you know he turned that down. Well, what do 258 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,960 you what do you think? What's the idealic location for 259 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,519 j Hill? 260 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: A really good question. I hesitate to think that coaches 261 00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:02,279 who have been out in this area in the Mountain 262 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,360 West and they're familiar with the West coast and maybe 263 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,559 a little bit southwest, like you know, Texas, some of 264 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,080 those areas, I don't think they want to go east. 265 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,919 I think there's just not as much of a fit 266 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,200 with any programs out there if he were to go, 267 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,960 I don't know for a State or you know, Carolina State, 268 00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:21,519 some of those schools out there. I think anything in 269 00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:26,440 Texas or West would be a place where he would 270 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,120 probably feel comfortable recruiting and finding coaches and feeling comfortable 271 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,519 with his family. I don't think a complete relocation unless 272 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,799 it's for you know, seeing amount of money and guarantees 273 00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:40,000 in the East would be where you want to go. So, 274 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,759 you know, like I said, anything in Texas would be good. 275 00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:46,480 You know, any of the Arizona schools. 276 00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 5: Maybe I don't know. 277 00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:52,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a new era. And again it 278 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:55,039 has to be the right place and the right fit 279 00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:59,279 for Heat and his family. And you know, we were 280 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:01,919 ben you and I are familiar with BYU coaches who 281 00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:05,159 were lifers. Even the assistants didn't go anywhere. They stayed 282 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,320 in Provo for their whole career. And that's that's kind 283 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,039 of not what I expect to happen in the future, 284 00:14:12,159 --> 00:14:15,000 especially if the YU keeps winning. It just seems like 285 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,720 there's going to be more coaches that would be getting 286 00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:21,120 offers to leave. So far, we haven't lost really anybody 287 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,559 that can think of significantly, but it could happen. 288 00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: Crazy times in Cougar Country could be occurring in the future. 289 00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:34,759 Look BYU is in a good spot. Eleven and two, 290 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,720 eleven and two. Chance to go twelve and two this season, 291 00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:41,919 it'd be glorious. They just signed the top a top 292 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,360 twenty one class in college football. It's the best recruiting 293 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:50,679 class in BAU football history. It doesn't seem like there's 294 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,799 going to be any coaching staff attrition. We've only seen 295 00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:57,639 two enter the portal from the offensive side. They're both 296 00:14:57,679 --> 00:15:02,360 wide receivers le Mason Waller and and and Dom McKenzie. 297 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,799 Speaker 2: That is a loss. Both those guys are very talented. 298 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,120 They had people offers. What's the state of the program? 299 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,039 Double D? Is this the new glory day? 300 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: You grew up in the eighties, you and g Man 301 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,240 it was a glorious time to be a Cougar fan? 302 00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: Is this the new glory? Is the modern day glory 303 00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:19,480 days for Cougar football? 304 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:22,279 Speaker 6: It really is? 305 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: And And because BYU decided to, uh, you know, restructure 306 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,519 the contract for Klannie and he got his assistance raises 307 00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:32,519 as well, and some of some of the staff members 308 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,120 you mentioned the recruiting class, they're definitely on a trajectory 309 00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:40,559 that puts them among the elite. And you know, you 310 00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,720 and I had this conversation last week you were asking 311 00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:46,080 about a question of the day, something about you know, 312 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,679 what could maybe derail what by was trying to do, 313 00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:51,679 And I said that college sports may go somewhere that 314 00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:55,360 BYU doesn't want to go, and that might be private equity. 315 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,919 I don't know. I mean we at this point by 316 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,559 US as an a really good trajectory and momentum, but 317 00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:07,919 the future is unknown and we look around and see 318 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,399 the discussion. You know, a Notre Dame thinking maybe it 319 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,080 wants to join a conference, but who in they have 320 00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:16,080 would want them in their conference. You know that that 321 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,879 kind of ego and that kind of a mess would 322 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,480 just not be a lot of fun for current members 323 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:29,039 of any conference. You know, we're seeing conferences with eighteen 324 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,879 was the ACC had like eighteen members and they had 325 00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:35,120 five teams tie for second. I mean, it's just a mess. 326 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,919 And things changed in the playoff system, so you know, 327 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,360 it's it's difficult to reject ahead too far. But as 328 00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:46,120 you finish up twenty twenty five and head to twenty 329 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,519 twenty six, this is a program that is putting itself 330 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:51,919 in a great position to be competitive every single year. 331 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,559 Speaker 3: Double D talking about the glory days now the modern 332 00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:01,840 days of glory here in the b YU Cougar football world. 333 00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:05,759 The signing class something that we haven't talked about with you. 334 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:09,079 I know you're not one for for recruiting necessarily, but 335 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,079 look what a great signing class and a lot of 336 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,759 in state recruits you keep you keep tabs on the 337 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,440 Utah prep scene. Is this the turning of the tide 338 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,759 when you're seeing BYU win in state for the majority 339 00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:23,039 of these high level recruits. 340 00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:27,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a very positive sign. And I 341 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,720 have seen quite a few of these guys play. You know, 342 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,759 kawi Akana, Lapetti Mwala, He's he's our Valley Player of 343 00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:41,119 the Year from RMI. He's just a great defensive player 344 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,119 that's headed to b YU, Bought Mulutalo. 345 00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 5: There. 346 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,039 Speaker 1: There's a lot of really good players in Utah and 347 00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:50,680 and they just impact the game. And that's kind of 348 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,920 what I watch when I watch high school football especially, 349 00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:55,559 you know, you hear about certain players are really good. 350 00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:58,079 I want to see how they impact the outcome of 351 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,480 the game. How they do that on sides of the 352 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:02,759 ball or one side of the ball, or you know 353 00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:06,400 they are they out there every single play or are 354 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,079 they taking plays off? I mean they're it's easy to 355 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,480 see at the high school level, and there's a lot 356 00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:14,640 of really good players that BYU has brought in, And 357 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:19,640 of course they're extending beyond the Utah and bringing in 358 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,720 great players from other parts of the country as well. 359 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,279 So it's a really terrific recruiting class, and I think 360 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,359 that they're close to being a top twenty class is 361 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,759 pretty amazing when you consider when Bronco was here. I 362 00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:33,920 remember we were talking about most of the Regreen Glasses 363 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,559 were in the eighties or nineties. It seems like they 364 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,880 really made that work for them. And part of that 365 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,880 is the money. I mean, obviously, when you can pay 366 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,039 athletes in this day and age, it works well for you. 367 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,839 But it's also the culture. It's also the kind of 368 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,960 experience they're promising. It's what they're telling the parents and families, 369 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,200 We're going to take care of your boy. We're going 370 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,279 to make sure he knows how to live is life 371 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:02,640 and what he's going to do after football, and those 372 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,599 things resonate with the parents and families and even the 373 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,039 kids nowadays. They understand this is really important for me, 374 00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:14,279 not only to play football, but to do whatever it 375 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,759 is I want to do. For the rest of my life. 376 00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:19,160 So all those things together have created a program that 377 00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:20,559 people want to be part of. 378 00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: It's a special time, no doubt about a double d 379 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,519 What what are you going to be writing about? What 380 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,279 can we see at the Daily Herald, the Daily Heraldi 381 00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:30,559 and Penning pieces, you know. 382 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:31,079 Speaker 2: I love them. 383 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're as I mentioned, we're during our all valley 384 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,599 for we did for soccer and girls volleyball and football 385 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,799 is going in tomorrow's paper. That's a that's a beast 386 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,759 of a of a of a bunch of work. And 387 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,519 then you know it's basketball season and this BYU men's 388 00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:53,759 basketball team is really something else and putting them in 389 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,720 some uh spotlight kind of positions. I mean, what be 390 00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:01,440 what you accomplished at Mattson Square Garden with a last 391 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,440 second victory against Clemson on Tuesday. It's just insane. I mean, 392 00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:08,920 you see the reaction of people in the stands, You 393 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,039 see reaction to people online that aren't necessarily affiliated with 394 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,519 b YU but recognize game. I mean, these three guys, 395 00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:24,160 AJ and Richie and Rob Wright, they are legit NBA 396 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,640 players and not only that, but they are great college 397 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,759 players that are going to possibly lead this program. Beyond, 398 00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:35,359 but it's ever where it's ever been. So it's really 399 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,160 fun to follow this team and to see what Kevin 400 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,359 Young and his staff have cooked up this year because 401 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,000 it's really a completely different kind of team in terms 402 00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:48,759 of how they attack and how they play defense. And 403 00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:51,240 it's just amazing to me that b YU was able 404 00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:53,359 to go out and get a Kevin Young that I 405 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,759 think is one of the smartest coaches I've ever seen 406 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,599 at any level, especially in the college level. He's doing 407 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,559 terrific job he and his staff and making this a 408 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,200 national contender out of Provo. 409 00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:13,599 Speaker 3: It's crazy Double d Donell Dixon talking BYU Sports, last thing, 410 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,960 is BYU a football school or a basketball school? 411 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 2: Ah? 412 00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:26,839 Speaker 1: Man? I mean like directly right now or over the door. 413 00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:30,119 I have to take into account the entirety of BYU 414 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,079 Sports or can I is it just today? Like right now? 415 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 2: What's your feeling on it? 416 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,559 Speaker 5: Right? Like? 417 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,319 Speaker 3: It's so funny, right, what's the feeling on it right now? 418 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,680 Because you have an ad who is over basketball now 419 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,559 he's over football. You just had a contract extension. This 420 00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:47,680 is a great deal, right that you know? This extension? 421 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,480 What's the the word they've used, like unprecedented U presitented 422 00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:55,920 deal in uh in provo. 423 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 2: Right, it's never been done. We don't know the details, 424 00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:00,839 but it's never happened before ever. 425 00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 5: Right. 426 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: But in BLAU football eleven and two, eleven and two. 427 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,559 Speaker 3: Last two seasons, BAU basketball has a sweet sixteen run 428 00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:14,240 and a lot of nil, a lot of nil resources. 429 00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:18,559 Speaker 2: Billions of dollars. You know, you could say millions is 430 00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:20,119 do you get a sense? 431 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 3: Brian Santiago said football drives the ship, but some may 432 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,839 not believe him. 433 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: What do you make of it? 434 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:31,519 Speaker 3: Read between the lines football school or football or basketball school? 435 00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 2: Double D. 436 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: I think I'd still lean towards it being a football 437 00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,279 school for a number of reasons. One is you have 438 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,559 the entire summer where nothing's going on, in the anticipation 439 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,119 for twelve games of college football or thirteen when you 440 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,440 talk about the bowl game, it just drives people insane. 441 00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,640 And there's you know, they put sixty thousand people in 442 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,519 the stands every home game. I just think football it's 443 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:00,559 more a little bit more of a football school. But 444 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,640 Kevin Young and BYU basketball are making a hard push 445 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,319 it at creating some competition with that as well. And 446 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,000 when you're talking about Glanie's salary and what just happened 447 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:15,400 this last week. I can't help but think about Lavelle 448 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,799 Edwards making barely six figures and working on a year 449 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:21,200 to year deal where he just walk into the office 450 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,440 and go I think I want to coach again, and 451 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,400 they're like, okay, same contract as last year. Okay, got it. 452 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,200 They moved on. Certainly that's not the case anymore. But 453 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,960 I would lean towards football as Brian Santiago Mans is 454 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,960 still driving the ship. 455 00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:40,599 Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Double D has declared it. It 456 00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:41,240 is truth. 457 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 3: It is Naked's doctrine, it is BYU sports athletic doctrine. 458 00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 2: Whatever. 459 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:51,839 Speaker 3: Darnell speaketh into the mic, Double ed, I always love 460 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,079 talking ball with you.

Isaiah Glasker's got another year. 608 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,000 Whether he stays or not, we don't know, and so 609 00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,279 it's really up to him. It's been banged up a 610 00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:20,240 little bit throughout the year, but I think he's starting 611 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,039 to hit that peak. 612 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,039 Speaker 6: Again of making sure that he's just locked in and 613 00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:24,039 doing what he's supposed to do. 614 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,079 Speaker 5: They're both both again, they're all conference players, and I 615 00:30:28,119 --> 00:30:29,839 would love to get him back.

Obviously he could 619 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,279 declared for the draft. How do you manage as a 620 00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:40,480 coach and having those conversations with the players, You know 621 00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:42,640 what it's it's it's all about the players these days. 622 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,839 Speaker 5: So again, whatever they feel is best for them, we'll 623 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,079 sway him either way what we believe, but completely. 624 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 6: It's up to them. 625 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 5: I mean, they're grown men and they get to make 626 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:53,960 their own decisions and choices and and well we'll support them. 627 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 6: One hundred percent. So again, when it's all said and done, 628 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,839 it's it's their choice. 629 00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:00,119 Speaker 4: When I talked to you about a year ago, he 630 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,400 said that Isaiah Glaska is one of the best athletes. 631 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 6: That you've coached and that he can be. 632 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:06,839 Speaker 4: How do you feel like that assessment has come into 633 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,880 coruition now a year later. 634 00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 5: No, I still believe that, And that's one thing I 635 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,440 think with a few of uh he's been banged up 636 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,799 a little bit here and there, but he is by far, 637 00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:16,440 and I think I told him that this week, that 638 00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:20,759 he's the best athlete that I've coached thus far. It's 639 00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:22,599 now just making sure that we get the very most 640 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,799 out of him too as well. And so and again 641 00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:28,200 there's there's injuries that do occur, but it's also making 642 00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:31,039 sure that we understand what we have and we try 643 00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:33,279 to be put him in the best position possible. 644 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 6: And Coach Hill does a heck of a job that way. 645 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm telling you that's why that's why Jack 646 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:39,400 Kelly has ten sacks, is because we know what their 647 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,000 strengths are and this is are and we want to 648 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,359 make sure we always play to their strengths. 649 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,759 Speaker 4: Evaluate guys, how ASKFUSI and Max Alfred a player. 650 00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I love I love As and Max there. 651 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,799 They're really good football players.

Ace is 656 00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:05,440 a very good athlete, a lot in the way of 657 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,880 Isaiah Glasger. Long, tall, athletic and uh and then a 658 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,799 mismatch for a lot of people. He's he's great to 659 00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:13,759 put on a tight end or a running back because 660 00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:17,160 of his length, and they do some good things. Sally again, 661 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,559 I love his speed, the ability of him just flying 662 00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:23,440 around and letting him play football.

I think we want 724 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,559 to make sure that we're we're not pushing him in 725 00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:12,039 too quick. 726 00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 6: But he is flying around and doing a lot of 727 00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:16,239 things right now, and I think he's ahead of schedule. 728 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,639 Speaker 4: Last couple of things for me, what is it going 729 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,880 to take defensive wives from the group to be able 730 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,280 to pull off this one against Georgia Tech in a 731 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,719 couple of weeks. 732 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,519 Speaker 5: It's just when you're one eleven, being more assitement sound. 733 00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:30,039 They they run that quarterback. I mean, there's a lot 734 00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,519 of misdirection everywhere. It's going to be making sure it's 735 00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:35,360 almost the option football, right. Make sure we have someone 736 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,400 for the dive. It's the keep and the pitch and 737 00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:40,840 and and all the aspects in all the realm of 738 00:35:41,159 --> 00:35:43,400 the of our defense is making sure that we do 739 00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:43,920 our job. 740 00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:46,119 Speaker 6: And if we have eleven guys doing our job, we'll 741 00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:48,320 be successful. Last two things I'll ask you. 742 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,159 Speaker 4: One is about the offensive player of the Year as 743 00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:52,159 well as the freshman year. 744 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 6: Have they made this defense better? Better back mari J Martin. 745 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, LJ is a beast, and so like when you 746 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,239 when you're dealing with a guy that's just power and 747 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,639 speed and just a humble, humble teammate. He makes everybody 748 00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:07,360 around him better and then having their step up in 749 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,079 the way that he did when we needed someone to 750 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:10,559 step up. 751 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 6: He's just he's he's Uh. 752 00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 5: I don't know if you can really describe an eighteen 753 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,840 nineteen year old kid with all the weight of the 754 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,960 world on him, of all Creer nations just watching him 755 00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:23,320 and he's rosen the occasion. 756 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 6: I'm I'm really really grateful for both. 757 00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 5: Those guys and really for the whole offense right for 758 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,239 making sure that everybody was in tune in step and 759 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,920 making our defense out much better. So going through fall camp, 760 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,639 and it's nice because we still go good versus good 761 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,199 this whole season, and it's fun to see the development 762 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,679 not only on the defensive side of the ball, but 763 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,480 the offensive side. 764 00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:47,639 Speaker 6: They just keep on getting better. 765 00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 4: You mentioned, offense, keep getting better. Look you're in the room, 766 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,760 give us a little bit of insight. There's always these 767 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,679 and I don't understand it. The negative things about you know, offense, 768 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,119 and fans don't understand what's going on. You guys obviously 769 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:01,280 know way more than we do. But I feel like 770 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,159 the disrespecting Aaron Roddocks sometimes is too far. To have 771 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,920 a coordinator have a too freshman eleven and two. I mean, 772 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,440 I don't know what else you can ask for. No, no, no, 773 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,039 that's that's almost impossible. 774 00:37:10,079 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 5: I mean that's I kind of compare it to having 775 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,559 an inside backer that was a freshman trying to come 776 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:18,000 in and play. 777 00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:19,639 Speaker 6: It's it's it's nearly impossible. 778 00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 5: And not only that, the very most important position of 779 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,039 all positions at quarterback, and what he does with their 780 00:37:26,199 --> 00:37:29,639 is just it's been phenomenal. We're we're eleven and two 781 00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:30,639 because of a rod. 782 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 6: Definitely last day coach favorite pop tarts. I like the 783 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,960 cinnamon and sugar Womans. It's really good. And that's okay. 784 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,400 Kellie likes those two and they're they're they're tasty. 785 00:37:43,159 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 5: I'm not a big pop tart guy as much, but 786 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,920 I'll make sure I get a box or two and 787 00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:48,000 make sure I down on So. 788 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 6: So what are you a big what?

And maybe that's an off 818 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,800 record conversation, but he mentioned there are people that have 819 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,199 left at one back, right, that see the success that 820 00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:01,760 the grass isn't always green or been right, that that's 821 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:02,400 how it goes. 822 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 6: And I think that's powerful of you know that he said. 823 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 4: He said that he says people BYU needs these players 824 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,480 more than they need BYU, and I thought that was 825 00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:12,599 extremely powerful, and I agree with that. There's so many 826 00:39:13,079 --> 00:39:15,800 people that whether members of the church or not, that 827 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,199 can make an impact.
