Speaker 1: Welcome into Off the Bench, presented by All Star Toyota.
Speaker 2: You're scary.
Speaker 1: We're bringing in the schools sports talking so.
Speaker 3: With Jacob Hester and Terrify Terrible.
Speaker 1: Live from the Haunted Studio. Here's Jacob Hester.
Speaker 4: Me all right, welcome back in now number three O TV.
Here live from the Raisin Knes Studio. Let's go now
to our guy Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football to
break down the latest New Orleans Saints lost to the
Tampa Bay Bucks.
Speaker 2: Nicholas, how we doing this week, sir doing?
Speaker 4: How y'all doing a couple of things going on here
here and there in Baton Rouge new cycle a.
Speaker 2: Little, a little if you will.
Speaker 4: So you know, we haven't had a chance Nick to
really dive into the Saints Bucks game, so certainly glad
to have you on to do just that for our listeners.
And it just from kind of jump street just didn't
go your way to a couple of nice moments, goal
line stands and and such. But uh, you finally, you know,
gave into what the masses wanted and you made a
switch at quarterback in the middle of the game. And
so this game just how you viewed it and how
it all played out.
Speaker 2: What were your biggest takeaways?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I guess we'll start with the quarterback.
I mean, I'm not surprised that they they made a change,
like at some point that we're going to probably make
it a change, like you can't be one to twenty
five on third and long and you know, can't you know,
at some point like they were going to shake it
up and see what the guy they took with fortieth
to do. What shocked me is how they did it,
Like I was not expecting that to be like a
mid game creative spark type thing. Like I think the
biggest thing that's coaching staff is hacked going for it
is that there's kind of this thought that you know,
they're they're well thought out, well planned people, and I
thought that was old thing that the quarterback is that
they had this plan of development, and I thought they'd
be like a detailed rollout and we hear, you know, hey,
look it, they like shuck take ten first team reps
from practice on Wednesday this week, and then next week
it's twenty and then like you see them in the
game or whatever. Like I thought it would be a
build up. I didn't think it'd be a middle of
the third quarter game's not going while possum and they
see what happens kind of thing, because like almost everything
they've done signaling to us is about building and being
patient and quote unquote doing things the right way. Otherwise,
how do you explain like rolling with the kicker who
you were afraid to kick a fifty nine yard or
with inside of a dome and so like, on one hand,
you don't need a spark a kicker, but now you
need to spark a quarterback in the middle of the game.
Speaker 6: Those like just kind of kind of the ideals right.
Speaker 5: Now, Like I'm having trouble making suns kind of of
what's going on. You know, if it works, it works,
you put him in there. If he plays again this
week and he plays well, fie whatever, Like who cares
how it got started, But like, I'm just really shocked
that that's how it went. I didn't think that this
is what we were watching. I didn't. I wasn't even
under the impression that they were like acting like a
team that felt pressure to win games, because like again,
like the kicker thing, and I'm not trying to kill
like the lake coopie here, but if you have patience
with the kicker, and you're willing to sacrifice three point
six points in a game as you wait for him
to come out of the funk. Like it's just hard
for me to understand why in the middle of a
Bucks game, it's like this is the line of demarcation
and enough is enough and can't do this anymore, and
you got to see what the other guy can do.
He's really surprised how it happened. So yeah, I mean,
you know, I don't know, like we're gonna find out
what they're gonna do this week. Kind of surprised that
it wasn't a Monday. Yeah, we're rolling with shuck thing
like now they're talking about it, Like going back to
Rattlers seems kind of messy and weird, Like you kind
of got an who you're dealing with, so like when
you take him out, I think it kind of has
to be a deliberate thing, like we all know how
he got here. Like I don't know if you need
to tip to or I'm not as a coach, but
I think you should at least be aware of like, hey, look,
this is like the story of his career and this
could mess him up if you want to go back
to him after doing it, and you're already feeling like
he's playing a little bit too tight, So like I
would assume it's all in with shock at this point.
But yeah, I mean, I'm just I was just totally
shocked out how that played out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of like you explaining that, Like the
confusion of how it happened really tells me that it
was like a true starter in backup mindset with Rattler
and Shuck, because you don't and it wasn't like a
one A one B starter, like we're gonna start this
guy for a little bit, then we're gonna because a
one A one B starter situation like you're talking about,
like eventually it was going to be Shuck, would be
a little bit more planned out in detail, set him
up for success, make sure he's got a weak preparation
belt with taking all the first team reps.
Speaker 7: That would be like the one A one B mindset.
Speaker 3: The backup situation is game's not going well, like we
need a spark, so let's put the backup in to
try to do this. So I'll be really interested to
see what that decision is. So I guess you kind
of answered it there. But like if you are Kelling Moore,
like what is what would be your decision going forward
as far as a starting quarterback.
Speaker 5: Well, if I was calling more like I wouldn't, I
wouldn't have done it like that. I kind of like
my thought process was, Hey, he's got to look good
in one of these next two games against the Bucks
in the Rams and if it doesn't turn around, then
you probably go to Shock in Carolina, maybe get the
first game on their order. You come to them in
the first game out of the bye. But like I thought,
these next two were kind of kind of the thing
that you wanted to see. And again like six turnovers
and six quarters, Like I get it, and there's kind
of a line there, but like I don't think it's
like putting Andy Dalton into the game, like this is
this is the rookie, and like the whole thing is
development and like the narrative, like every single time it
comes up with out like Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones
or whatever, like Kellen Moore's at the podium talking about
how you know other people don't do things the right
way and like you know, it's evidence of how you
got to handle these things, and then it's just like whoop,
Like this is a just a normal situation. You know,
if I were him, what I would do, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I.
Speaker 5: Think you have to get a look at it. It
shuck at some point, you know. And I think now
that you open the door, I'm just going that direction
because I think I've created a situation where it's weird.
Now if I go back, and then if I flip
flop again, it's just kind of I don't know, does
that start to mess up the locker room? Like You're
already probably gonna have different pockets of people in different
areas sinking. Hey, this is like kind of weird. This
is messed up.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I thought Spencer playing well, he probably didn't deserve to
catch the blame for this. But thend like, if you
keep going back and forth, back and forth, I think
all of a sudden, like you create maybe a very
very messy situation.
Speaker 6: So I feel like you made your decision you were
going to take.
Speaker 5: A look at him at some point. I think you
kind of got to lean into it now and just
go with it, because I would say one of the
things that I think they've done best this year is
that they drafted a quarterback at forty and they kind
of really haven't allowed it to become a story. You know.
I felt like until after it was kind of weird.
Actually in the New England game, that was the first
time that we kind of heard some like messaging of
frustration with how maybe plays weren't being made. And I
thought that was the best game that Rattler has played
as an NFL player. But that was the first time
he kind of came out and made a comment where
it was like, yeah, you know, like we're kind of
limited a little bit and some of the stuff we
can do. And then you know, it was the next week,
the third and twenty, you know, the third down play
Alvin throws at the taste and they get the flag.
He goes up there and he says, yeah, we like,
we haven't just been able to do anything on third down,
so I felt like I had to try to create
something to make it happen. Like that was another one.
We're like, ooh, that's kind of crazy. And then you know,
getting asked about, hey, like this the special need to
look over his shoulder and he's like, it's a week
to week thing. Up until that point, it was no,
this is our starter all and with him. So it
feels like there's maybe been like, you know, a slow
build up.
Speaker 6: To this, and I think now that you did it,
you just kind of.
Speaker 5: Got to stick with it. But again, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 6: Blown away a bout how it happened, because.
Speaker 5: Like, why is the pressure suddenly in the second half
of a Bucks game in a one and sixth season.
I just don't I don't know. It's just kind of
all of a sudden, like like just everything I thought
about the season in that decision. It was just kind
of like, wait a minute, like this is not what
has been the whole time, and now all of a sudden,
like this is the stuff that matter. It's just kind
of weird to me, like you're taking your you know,
and again I think you're I think the pet the
Pete Werner extension was probably a mistake, you know, I
think it probably doesn't fit with the team. Like there's
a lot of stuff, but like he is your second
best linebacker, but at linebacker you're fine with like downngrating
that position to get reps for other guys. At cornerback,
I got him, probably is your your next best cornerback.
You're willing to take him off the field developed Quince Ray,
So like all of these things are telling me it's
about development and patience, and then all of a sudden,
like it's just like woof, like up in the air
and this is different over here. I don't but yeah,
the answer the question about ram I would probably I
would probably feel like I have to stick with the
decision I made because I could make it messy by
by kind of flip flopping. And the says any thought
of going back to shock later to look at them
before the draft? You know, I think it's just kind
of you just you just turned it into allowed every week,
you know, who's the quarterback type thing? And I think
that's a terrible thing to this team.
Speaker 4: Nick, How surprised are you that the Saints haven't been active,
like on the trade market. At least the rumors have
died down, considering we thought that maybe like a lot
of the veteran players would be traded because you are
in complete rebuild mode because you've won one game.
Speaker 2: But now it seems like some of that has gone away.
Speaker 4: Is that because your guys came out and said, I
don't want to get traded. I want to finish my
career here. Is it because you didn't like what the
return pack? It just potentially would be like why did
that get so quiet so quickly?
Speaker 5: I think there's guys still trade deadlines Tuesday of the
league after after this game. I mean, I think there's
still probably a possibility we see like a wide receiver
go and you know, I would I would assume it's
probably either like your sheet or Cooks that I think
those are probably the guys like your set. Obviously you're
getting more for you know, I think that they're asking
price has been a little bit high on him. I
don't think teams want to give up a third rounder
for him, and you know, it's kind of the feeling
of what they're looking for, you know, cop pick Wise,
if he were to go, you know, wouldn't be the
stext shot at the one after I'm got some contract ballpark,
you'd probably getta get a fourth rounder like that. That's
what you got back for Paulson and de bo I
guess you, I guess you'd probably be in that type
of range. You know, the benefit of trying to do
that is that you know, if you got the fots,
you could lock it in and then you can go
out and spend money and sign other players and you
aren't upsetting it and you don't lose the pick. But
it's it's tough manager that front office, Like just imagine
the optics of it. If you trader, she heads for
a fourth round pick and that's what you gave up
for the bomb Ble plus the seventh. Like, granted there's
time left on the contract with Bile that changes the
value proposition a little bit, but like we're talking a
guy that makes place or is a guy that makes
no plays at the same round cost, Like it's kind
of a nasty. Look, I don't think that's enough to
not do it, but it's just kind of shines of
spotlight on like just man, what like what was like
what was that traite? Like I don't understand it, Like
it's just kind of kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: Look, if I'm a k and they're only.
Speaker 8: Giving me six runs in a game, I don't know
if I'm thinking about maybe maybe those pinacle OTAs that
taste okay, and you know, Kansas City or Buffalo, like
I would that would maybe be like you know, look,
it's cool, I want to be here but I also
want to play, Like I don't understand why.
Speaker 5: They're not giving him the ball. It's kind of a
lot of weird stuff going on right now, But I
do expect some deals to uh to probably you know,
probably one or one or two. I'd be surprised if
it's just like nothing happens and it just kind of
make you again, like look at the situation, like, shouldn't
you be getting some draft picks, like to rebuild this
roster because like you know, we did a did a
who are you protecting in an expansion draft?
Speaker 3: One guy?
Speaker 5: And the other guy? Who are you taking around the league?
Another guy? I don't know if the Saints player gets
picked in an expansion draft, like you know, and I
don't know how many guys you'd be fighting to protect
right now. And I think you need like a lot
of people, uh to get this rebuild going right, and
you know, you need draft picks to do it, and
some of these guys are not going to be around
for it. He is a free agent, you know, if
you can get something that would probably do it.
Speaker 7: Nih is there anybody safe before the trade deadline?
Speaker 5: I don't think there's anyone that that, like you probably
wouldn't trade.
Speaker 7: Like that. You would be like, Nope, not trading that guy.
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think like you get back what
you put in the banks or fuaga. But I mean,
like if somebody offered me like a premium match up
for one of them, I'd be willing to do it.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, there's nobody.
Speaker 5: And it's crazy because like you know, eighteen, there's probably
four or five six guys that you're going down the list, like,
no way, I'm not giving that guy up.
Speaker 6: Yeah I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think they're currently in a place
where someone would call you be like yeah, I'm not
I'm not listening to that. Like no, no, I mean
I think you, I think you pick up the phone
on anyone. And I think there's there's a price for
everyone on this team right now, no doubt about it. Yeah,
there's no untouchables right now. And it's hard to get there, man,
It's hard to get to a place where where like
you're you're really at that point where you know, Eric
McCourt's your best player, like he's he's hurt, you know,
he's what twenty twenty games over the last four or
five years, So like he's he's someone that give them
where they're at, I'd take a call on them. Yeah,
there's nobody at all. Right now, you know, your best
players or guys that are are you know, thirty plus.
You know, it's still like the best players are this
this team are the guys that would have been on
the untouchable list in in eighteen. So yeah, no, there's
definitely nobody that's untouchable.
Speaker 2: All right, that's wild.
Speaker 7: There's always untouchable.
Speaker 2: I know. I think he's right, though, I don't think
there is.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that have played themselves out
of being tradable. I get that portion of the thing.
But yeah, it's just that it kind of speaks to
where you're at. I mean, it's there's no hope in
this season.
Speaker 5: It's it's just from rough drafts since you know, seventeen.
I mean that that's just kind of where you end
up at it. You know, if you aren't drafting guys
that that are probo caliber, like, how are you going
to have them? And it's just a lot of misses
in those first rounds over the years, like you know,
and then a lot of is having a weird season.
The injury situation kind of takes him out of that conversation.
He's the only one that probably had the potential since
since seventeen to maybe play himself into that category. But
you know, DA have him for Peyton Turner and Trevor Penning.
Like it's just like it's.
Speaker 6: A lot of guys that that you know, haven't haven't hit.
Speaker 5: Your second rounders aren't hitting, you know, Chunsey Gardner Johnson
was maybe another guy like talent wise possibly had that
had that Pro Bowl caliber, but then you know the
dot field that has made his career a little bit weird.
So yeah, I mean it's just not not a ton
of McCoy like got closed here center, your team isn't
good enough like that. So you know, it's just it's
just not been good enough, you know, And he's.
Speaker 7: Been a bright spot left to get on the field.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he looks like he wants to play man. Yeah him, Yeah, yeah,
he might be the brightest spot on this team. And
yeah if you, if you, if he had played the
whole season at this level, I think maybe he'd be
the guy that you look at and say, yeah, I'm
not trading him, Like if you got seven games, eight
games of what we've seen the last couple of weeks. Yeah, absolutely,
he looks amazing. He looks like he's put it together
to get off his is crazy. You know, he's he's beaten,
touted him worse, which.
Speaker 6: Isn't you know, an easy an easy.
Speaker 5: Thing to do. So yeah, he looks he looks great.
Right now, He's probably your best bet get into that category,
which is you know, kind of surprising, you know, but
but yeah, that could possibly be if he keeps faying
like this, that could be that could be probably like
maybe their best move in the last four or five years.
And again there's not a lot of candidates on that list,
so you know, but yeah, he looks like he has
a chance to actually actually you know, live up to
that contract.
Speaker 2: All right, there he is Nick Underhill, New Orleans.
Speaker 4: Is that football joined us every single Tuesday here on OTB.
Speaker 2: Nick.
Speaker 4: We appreciate the time as always, enjoy the rest of
your day, sir, Yeah guy, all.
Speaker 3: Right, cool, I feel good about it. I feel great.
Speaker 2: Wow, go team.
Speaker 3: Brings up an interesting point on the quarterback switch at
that time, right yeah, if it's not going great, if
you're trying to see where he's at, I don't know
if my analogy hit home on like the true mindset
of a starter and backup, yeah, rather than just like
a one A, one B type starter. Right, it really
felt like it feels like it was just needed to spark.
I think it'd be the cleanest to stay on the
plan and then yeah, maybe still could go with shuck,
Like obviously you have to at some point, yeah, right,
but you don't have to.
Speaker 7: But you don't have to. But like now it's messy,
it gets even messier, and.
Speaker 2: Now it's messier.
Speaker 4: Now it's now it's it's the toothpas is out of
the tube and you can't put it back in.
Speaker 2: And if I think all the momentum and.
Speaker 4: Things that Spencer Rattler had and like I know the record,
but there was things on the field as a young
football player that I think we're going to continue to
develop like that, you get reset.
Speaker 7: On all of that.
Speaker 2: I mean when you make a move like that the
way they did ye, But.
Speaker 3: I mean like if you're not having success, yeah, backups
are going to come in just to see if you
can get something going. Now, this is the this is
a big decision going forward. Who's going to start the
next game? Because if you start shucked. Then you it's
hard to go back. Then it gets super messy. Now,
not as messy as like the jets this past weekend,
but Jay, they came out more OTV when we come
back off the bench.
Speaker 4: All right, good, all Star toydef batteruge dot com, buying, new, leasing, renting.

Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU Football twenty four to seven. You're
listening to Off the Bench.
Speaker 2: Share with the class.
Speaker 3: Bud's got some fun comments coming in in the chat
right now. Frank Kelly ate superior chips without dipping them
in sausa. Frank Kelly ordered the hardshell tacos. That's superior.
Speaker 9: That's a OTB coded ass joke, though I love OTD
inside jokes for those that don't know. Definitely the room
thinks it's weird that Jake thinks hardshell tacos when we
think tacos or taco cheese or whatever.
Speaker 7: K Leane Beck and patted as full belly.
Speaker 9: Well, because there's a lot of stories going around on
Twitter right now. That again their story, So who knows
if they're real or not, But did y'all see the one.
Speaker 2: About the burnt ends.
Speaker 9: No, no, Whenever he was at Notre Dame and he
got the offer to come here at LSU. He was
at a recruits house. This is alleged.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 9: This is a story that I saw on Twitter. Right,
he was at a recruits house, got the call about LSU,
went on about the dinner like nothing happened. I guess
they had made barbecue burn INDs for dinner, and he
like kept getting heapings of burn ins and then just
like quietly left and went to LSU. He was like,
no big deal.
Speaker 7: I heard you at the dinner.
Speaker 3: One big burn in guy, delicious objectively all right.
Speaker 4: So the odds the latest odds that have been released
for LSU's next head football coach, and you can find
those on our website, louisianasports dot net. And these lines
are according to bet online dot ag. LSU Tigers next
head football coach at plus one point fifty is John
Sumral the two lane head coach two to one, Joe
Brady four to one, Lane Kiffin six to one, James
Franklin eight to one, Eli Drinkwitz twelve to one, Jeff
Brohm fourteen to one Brent Key eighteen to one, Jimbo
Fisher twenty to one, Clark Lee, and then he goes,
you know, Marcus Freeman, Urban Meyer, Rhtt Lashley, John Gruden,
Kenny Dillingham, Lincoln Riley, Dabos Sweeney, Dan Mullen, Alex Skulish,
Dan Lanning, Matt Campbell, Nick Saban. But of the you know,
the realistic ones who knows gave you the odds there so.
Speaker 7: Would be a dark horse. Some of them that's not
even on the list could be, could be.
Speaker 4: So if someone all as the leader in the clubhouse,
I don't believe that to be the case. I think
John summerl is a really good football coach. Don't get
me wrong, I just don't believe that to be the case.
I don't believe Joe Brady would want to be a
head coach in college football, So I don't believe that
to be the case. James Franklin's not going to be
the coach here. I would be would I would be shocked.
I don't want to say he's not gonna be. That's
that's an absolute and we can't do that in college football.
Speaker 2: So I retract that.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to be the head coach
here because you would have what just left. You would
have a lot of wins, no championships, And that's just
like you you got to you gotta go the opposite
of what you just had here. In my opinion, you
got to go go get something different. James Franklin feels
like the same.
Speaker 3: James Ring definitely feels like the same. Yeah, I mean,
like this is this is betting odds that we're giving you.
There's there's no leader in the clubhouse right now. We
don't even know Boomer's flying on. Who's even really gonna
make the decision? There's still no there's no president as well,
So like what, there's so much to unpack and do
before you get to that point of like, here's a
leader in the clubhouse, because we don't even know in
which person's brain would make the decision to make it
a leader in the clubhouse. So but I agree with
you one hundred percent. You got to go kind of
opposite of the pick that you just did. The safe
been doing it a long time. Yeah, Hall of fame
blah blah blah, Like you got to go away from
that and find somebody that is going to come in here.
I think we talked about for three hours yesterday that
is going to dedicate every inch, every piece of them,
every moment of time to LSU football and instill that
it has done it in the past, and it doesn't
have to be on the biggest stage. It doesn't have
to be with the big biggest program. It can be.
I know there's a lot of like the sexy picks
out there, like Dan Lanning, like Kiff and everybody's talking
about that. But they got four or five, six, seven,
eight games left to play as well, so nothing's going
to happen fast. I know that at least efficiently things
are you know, obviously things in motion now and you
talk to different people and held Jimmy sex and reps.
Speaker 4: Almost everybody was sent there. I mean, just got the
way it is. So obviously those conversations are gonna take place.
I don't know what the pecking order is going to be,
you know. You you hear it's like, well they're gonna
make save and tell them no. Well, it's probably gonna
tell you no, but like I gotta gotta at least try. Okay,
I get that, I understand it, sure, And then it's
like you hear well, then it's gonna be Lane Kiffin.
And then if it's not Lane Kiffin, then there's a
group of Kenny Dillingham and John Sumrall and you know
some younger names names like that, up and coming had
football coaches. I mean, Kenny Dillingham did make a cast
football playoff a year ago.
Speaker 3: Hey, you got to make a call and they can
say no. But who's making that call right now? It's
a great point. Who is making that call? Who's making
those decisions to say you got to make them say no?
Besides the fan base.
Speaker 2: And the people that like that, I know they're putting
up the dollars.
Speaker 7: For sure, I.
Speaker 3: Put up the dollars. I'd sure want to have to
say yeah.
Speaker 7: Is that right or wrong?
Speaker 3: I tell you all, that was the argument I tried
to tell y'all yesterday, Like, I'll do it for free.
Speaker 7: Just let me know.
Speaker 2: I wanna do it for free. Uh, Josh, you don't
have to use all caps.
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with you. Don't think Stament's coming
back all caps?
Speaker 4: Guys, it's all cap Friday, and it's not Friday every day.
Speaker 3: People could bring up Matt Patricia's thing. Why would Why the.
Speaker 7: Hell would lsu Hire matpatrition. What does that bring is
that Ohio State? Is that right?
Speaker 3: He's the your host state d C coordinator. Iron Matt
Patricia has been in o C, a d C in
the NFL. He's been a head coach in the NFL.
He's been a DC. Now that's great. And Mattatricia is
a hell of a football coach. He's not gonna be
the head football coach here. He shouldn't be. That's no
disrespect to him, just facts. Is it should be if
he is the old love him.
Speaker 2: I like Matta Patricia interviewed him at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: He was great.
Speaker 2: Just don't think that's going to be you.
Speaker 4: When you have a situation like this, you can't hire
anything that remotely looks to be the same of what
you had. You need something different. What you had was
not working, right Oh yeah, well yeah, you proved it. It
wasn't working, proved it all year, and then you proved
it by reaching and paying a buy out that nobody
thought was attainable. Yeah, so it's not working, So yeah,
do not do what you did. And look, I love
Joe Brady as much as anybody like I used to
love sitting down talking offense with Joe all the time.
I don't think Joe wants to one and two, he's
never been a head coach. If he is a head coach,
I think that comes first in the NFL before it
does college football. He's been in the NFL way longer
than he's been in college football. Remember that he came
from the NFL to LSU.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And just because I mean we've brought it up
before and people kind of understand this, just because you're
a good football coach, just because you're a good coordinator,
doesn't mean you're going to be a new head coach.
I know there's a progression. All head coaches have to
go through it. And you don't know you're good head
coach until you become a head coach, right, But with
a job like LSU, you probably want somebody that is
a proven head coach. And that doesn't really matter at
what level. It doesn't matter that it's been a power
for or you know, you've won a national championship before,
you've been to the playoffs before, It doesn't really matter
if you know how to be a head coach and
to be a leader of a team and a leader
of men and.
Speaker 7: Prove like, that's all that really matters.
Speaker 3: I would rather do that than hire a really good
coordinator first time head coach. Now it might work out,
because it does work out. Obviously, those guys that become
good head coaches were offensive coordinators, they were deepense to coordinators,
they were quarterback coaches, they were tied end coaches, they
were defensive line coaches. I get that there's a progression there,
but when you are the basically everybody agrees all over
the country in the national media that the LSU is
the premier job.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like, I don't care who you are. Like we.
Speaker 4: On off campus, it was me, Bobby and EJ. And
I was like, hey, give me your six jobs that
no questions asked. You're out the door. You're gone as
soon as they call. EJ didn't put at LSU in
his top six, and I said, EJ, I'm sorry, I
love you. You're dead wrong, he said, Tennessee before l Sho,
I see, you're dead wrong, said when you look at
the LSU job, put in the top six, Yeah, it's
firmly in the top three. It's like, but when you
look at the LSU job, the advantages that you have,
the proof that's already been there.
Speaker 2: And look, we know, we know when you won championships,
we know all that.
Speaker 4: But when you look at the resources, when you look
at the desire to be great, when you look at
the ability to play in the greatest stadium in college football,
whenever they have a product that's rocking, the fans will
rock with it. When you look at the recruiting map
that you're able to go into a state where it's
per capita of the most NFL players and you're without
question the top dog in that state. And also you
have a bordering state in Texas that's some of the
best high school football that you've got a strong firm
grasp of how to recruit Houston in Dallas and those areas.
When you look at the people that will give LSU
anything and everything, I mean, the donor base, like everything,
the facilities. If there's a want in college football, LSU
has it. Then you have recruiting advantages. You have all
these things. Right, It's a top three job, without question
it is. And whoever's making the decision, all I ask
is you treated as such. Know that you have a
top three job in America, and know that you're going
to have the ability to hire a hell of a
football coach that fits everything you're trying to do here
at LSU. Have those conversations, interview whoever you have on
that list, but you make sure that they understand too
what's expected of them from it from this job, right, Louisiana,
isn't We're not passive people.
Speaker 2: We're not.
Speaker 4: We're not somebody that when we go to work, we
just kind of clock in and clock out nine to
five and that's it. We don't think about it again, Right,
it's not how we're made. It's not in our DNA.
We're a little bit different here.
Speaker 2: Right. We'll work for what we want.
Speaker 4: Whoever comes in here has got to have that same passion,
that same love, that same DNA of we're going to work.
We're not going to stop working until it works. And
then when it does work, we're only going to raise
our level of work to make sure it stays at
that level.
Speaker 2: That's all I asked.
Speaker 3: And again, it's gonna come down to a lot of
who is the person making that decision? And hell, well,
we're offering our services right here.
Speaker 2: Jeff brom is being mentioned by us. We talked about
him yesterday. Uh, there's some.
Speaker 7: Foreign one all time versus top.
Speaker 4: Makes five point six million, if I will remember our
conversation yesterday, so he.
Speaker 3: Would double because of the los ties there. So yeah,
a lot of the top guys have ties, like strong
personal ties players.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ties to that's.
Speaker 4: Clark Lee, Jeff Brom and Brent Key killing Ken you
doing Ham didn't play, but he's from tim p Scottsdale
and went to school there. And Taylor didn't think that's
a big but it is just knowing Kenny a little bit.
Speaker 2: I wasn't a shot at you.
Speaker 7: I just you know, at the combo yesterday.
Speaker 2: Ay, the combo yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So like those guys all have ties. Could you get
Kennedy Dillingham away from Arizona State? Probably better than the
other guys because he didn't play there, he just went
to school there then Yeah, probably so. But still all right,
we'll take a break more OTB when we come back.
