Speaker 3: I told you this is why we never be allowed

86
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:02,560
to be bishop, because I would cancel. You don't have

87
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,599
a baptism on the Super Bowl? Are you crazy?

88
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: They have a Yeah, mice, you don't know this man.

89
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,199
I talked about this last week. My sister, who cares

90
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,360
less about sports than anyone alive, scheduled her daughter's baptism

91
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,120
at the exact time as this as the starting of

92
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,720
the Super.

93
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: Bowl in the afternoon.

94
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

95
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: I've never even been to an after.

96
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,879
Speaker 5: Foot four o'clock Sunday baptism. Send out the Google message

97
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,160
and all that. I'm like, uh, you know that's when

98
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:30,000
the Super.

99
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 6: Bowl is No, I wondered why that slot was open.

100
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,639
So anyway, crazy debated how I'm going to handle that,

101
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,639
but fortunately a man of God, the bishop.

102
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Who was who was inspired, canceled the best that he's inspired.

103
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: He's inspired, so anyway, it's two weeks from that is crazy.

104
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: My point GM men when I mentioned the bishop and

105
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:57,279
the baptism was the tenth Commandment still applies. Whether regardless

106
00:04:57,319 --> 00:04:59,240
of whether you believe is don't be greedy that I

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,439
should not covet to You cannot covet the bana, but

108
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:03,519
you cannot have to coviing.

109
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,879
Speaker 2: That's not a question.

110
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: Like that's when I get to the other side, like

111
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,399
and God says, hey, Bishop, I just wanted to make

112
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,000
sure this is correct. I see here that you you

113
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:17,279
cancel the baptism because of the Super Bowl, Like what

114
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:19,759
if what if Jesus has what if Jesus is coming

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,000

00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,399
I'm siding with your sister here.

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,560

150
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: See, but you guys are well aware when the Super.

151
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:10,079
Speaker 2: Bowl is, aren't most Americans?

152
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: My family does not know. Yeah, yeah, it's like the.

153
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,879
Speaker 2: Most watched broadcasts in the country.

154
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,079
Speaker 1: Will let me introduce you to the Gurneys.

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are a house divided. There is intellect and spirituality, right,

156
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,680
those are the core principles. And then on the other side,

157
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,759
it's people who like and then there's people.

158
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:31,439
Speaker 1: Sports.

159
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: So intellect is on the other side. So I'm telling you,

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,879
like the nerds, they dominated the intellectual spaces, the professional spaces,

161
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,639
and and and typically they're very they are morally righteous people.

162
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,000
They don't always dabble in the mamminary of sports.

163
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,079
Speaker 5: Well, let me give you some insights. So Steve Young's

164
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,000
my favorite athlete of all time. You guys know that

165
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,319
he's my absolute hero.

166
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:55,959
Speaker 1: Whatever.

167
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,439
Speaker 5: When he became quarterback for the forty nine ers. I

168
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,519
had the watch those games. But guess what you do

169
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:03,839
not watch TV on Sunday in the Journey family. So

170
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,000
you know what I did, I'd take a nap whenever

171
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,720
that game started. I had the little thirteen inch black

172
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,360
and white back in the these these are back in

173
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:16,000
the antenna days, and I would sit in my room

174
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,279
pretend I was taking a nap under the covers.

175
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'd watch Steve Young ball for the forty

176
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,720
that is black and white.

177
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had to hide it from your family, Like

178
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,160
where did you get the money to buy the black

179
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:29,360
and white mini TV?

180
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: It was just around. It was just a family TV

181
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:32,480
that just oh it.

182
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: Just kind of boun So you take that TV.

183
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:37,759
Speaker 1: It was kind of a happ or whatever.

184
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: So screen size that's how inches? What was the like?

185
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,720
How big waste? Oh so you said thirteen? Sorry, I

186
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,080
apologize that. Yeah, you just had under your sheets? Yeah yeah,

187
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,600
inches slow, that's impression.

188
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: That's how I watched Steve Young growing up.

189
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what, to me, that's choosing the right.

190
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,759
Speaker 5: My family has relaxed and and everyone and we have

191
00:08:58,799 --> 00:08:59,840
Super Bowl parties now.

192
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,759
Speaker 1: Man in one out on the gurney.

193
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:05,279
Speaker 3: Hey, you're gonna hate that super Bowl party though, Gurney,

194
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:06,720
you already told me last week.

195
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:11,159
Speaker 2: The ideology super Bowl parties I watch that. I'm also

196
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,399
that you got to realize the Kingdom builders they view

197
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,759
that is is idolatry. Do not now shot not worship

198
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:19,399
any grave and Steve Young.

199
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: I used to be okay with people who didn't like

200
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:24,679
watching sports on Sunday, but I have an argument against them,

201
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,799
and I think they're actually less christ Like than those

202
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,399
who do watch who I may have offended a lot

203
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,600
of our audience, but let me put let me put

204
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,039
it to you like this, we just okay, just just

205
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,759
listen before you This is the way I look at it.

206
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:45,639
So because because I don't want to call specific people out,

207
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,399
but I won't say who in in what area of

208
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,519
my life, But there's people in my life who are

209
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,039
adamantly against like the fact that so like on Sundays

210
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,600
it's me and all my cousins and we all go

211
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120
to my aunts and uncles and we just watched football day.

212
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,600
That's how we spend time together. And to me, that's

213
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:05,200
more christ Like, that's more family building than you sitting

214
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,039
on the couch or sitting in your room by yourself,

215
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,799
scrolling TikTok or.

216
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: Clip talk or whatever.

217
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So I feel as though if we're watching

218
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:17,600
football as a family and that's how we're spending time together,

219
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,679
I mean, family, isn't it about time? Isn't that more

220
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,720
important and more valuable to building up the Kingdom of God?

221
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:28,039
You scrolling Instagram or reading a book or whatever in

222
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,600
your room by yourself.

223
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:33,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, approval on This.

224
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Was my argument with my family the whole time.

225
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: I think it's important. I think actually the church should

226
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,960
come out and say, hey, we believe that you should

227
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,559
spend some time with the family watches of football on Sunday,

228
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:49,799
you know. And so whoever's over the you know, over

229
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,559
the baptismal schedule, maybe bishop, state presidency, whoever, or the

230
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,440
primary presidency, it's their fault for having that slot. Why

231
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:00,960
was there a lot there at all?

232
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: Is secretary.

233
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you gotta avoid those types of things strategically.

234
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: Don't put people in that situation.

235
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 2: Don't put people in that situation where they have to

236
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,480
choose the glory the most glorious game known to man.

237
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 5: I don't like how you avoided my question, though, I'm

238
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:19,600
still upset about it.

239
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,039
Speaker 2: All right, guys, you got the rest of our start

240
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,200
because I know the answered.

241
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: You're not admitting it.

242
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:28,639
Speaker 2: What what's the air you're super bowling? Well, if it

243
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,679
was my own fam, well yeah.

244
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,639
Speaker 4: And the hard part is like, it's not like it's

245
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,120
a cousin or nephew or you could just be like hey, sorry,

246
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:38,759
like I couldn't go like it's a direct relative.

247
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: That's what makes it really hard.

248
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,879
Speaker 3: You know what I would tell them, g man, I

249
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:44,159
would try to reschedule myself, which I've done such and

250
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,360
then I would tell them, Okay, so I'm coming, but

251
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,919
you do understand that you're making this inconvenient for me. Yes,

252
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,159
I'm being selfish. I will be there, but like I

253
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,240
told you, I will be watching it on my phone.

254
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:55,399
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest. So I don't remember anyone who

255
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,120
was at my baptism. I'm sure whoever it is, they

256
00:11:58,159 --> 00:11:59,440
won't remember that you were.

257
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,799
Speaker 2: Luckily, there's some pictures so you can remember.

258
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:03,759
Speaker 3: That's why you take pictures.

259
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: At some point it will be why you weren't there.

260
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:09,759
Speaker 1: Anyway, I don't have to worry about because the bishop

261
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:11,080
was inspired and he canceled it.

262
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,039
Speaker 2: Shout out down to Bishop Biship what's his name. I'm

263
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,879
not sure Bishop Smith will call him Bishop's Bishop.

264
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,720

310
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,159
All right, guys, so we've we heard the news right yesterday.

311
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,320
You have a new cornerback coach, Lewis Clark, who I

312
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:04,440
really I liked his resume. Tomorrow, Warn moves over to

313
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,200
the safety's coach position. He's still the passing game coordinator

314
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:12,039
for the Bau Cougar defense. That's exciting, justin and are

315
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:14,720
gonna be solely focused on special teams. He's moving from

316
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:18,919
the linebacker room to just special teams coordinator. Obviously, Kelly

317
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,360
Peping is your DC and we'll be coaching up the

318
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,759
like the linebackers, it looks like as your DC. And

319
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,159
then you have Cioni Pujo who's taken the entire defense

320
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,399
of line. But mostly it's gonna be tackles and then

321
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,960
Chad k Chad Kaha taking the outside edge and linebacker position.

322
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Kelly's gonna be inside linebackers. It sounds like as he

323
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,639
was a Mike linebacker himself. He was the team captain

324
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440
in seven, Baby, leading our teams to glory and victory

325
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,799
at top ten defense. Everyone thinks seven was just offensive

326
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,120
productivity and uh in power. Nay, I say that was

327
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,000
a decent top forty offense, But we had a top

328
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,039
ten defense. We led the way in two thousand and seven,

329
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,679
and it was led by k Pop Anyway. I digress,

330
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,720
but good defensive staff. And now you're looking at the

331
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:14,120
analyst right. Obviously, Gary Anderson has been officially retained. That's

332
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:19,919
big news. But other individuals are being retained as well,

333
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,960
both offensively and defense. We know the offense pretty much

334
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,480
retained all of their position coaches minus Matt Mitchell. So

335
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,279
let's start with that. Tyler Hughes going to be your

336
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:34,480
assistant quarterbacks coach. Tyler Who's we get to know him

337
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,519
a little bit better. You got ty Moe, tys Moe.

338
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:40,279
He's going to be an assistant linebackers coach, I metge

339
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:43,559
He's gonna help out with the inside linebackers, primarily because

340
00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:46,559
your DC, Kelly Pepinga is going to have to be

341
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,960
delving into all the schematics and culture and overseas overseeing

342
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,279
the entire defensive unit. Dylan Allman blay you assistant coach

343
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,799
for special teams. He'll be aiding in supporting justin Enna

344
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,720
it sounds like. And then Raylan Singleton, who has been

345
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:05,319
I believe a GA and maybe an analyst. Dylan Singleton

346
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,119
gonna be the assistant wide receivers coach for the BYU

347
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,039
Cougar football team. G Man, your thoughts, your commentary, your

348
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:12,960
follow up to the news.

349
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,319
Speaker 5: My thoughts are this and fans are gonna hate this,

350
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:20,680
But based on the coaching alignment and what they're coaching,

351
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,359
what is b way you's base defense going to be

352
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,200
under Kelly Popinga.

353
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: And what was it in two thousand and seven? It's

354
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:32,359
gonna be a three four, guys, it's gonna be a

355
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:32,839
three to four.

356
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: Well realized last year it was a three fours.

357
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: It was a three to four. Fans understand that.

358
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,759
Speaker 2: It was about seventy percent thirty front with a stand

359
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:46,359
up edge and thirty forty front with like four down linement.

360
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,039
Speaker 5: That's what b way he's gonna run and it is

361
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,640
going to be fantastic because that's what the personnel is,

362
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,400
these four linebackers. I think about your linebackers with a

363
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,640
with Aaron Wagner, Cameron Jenssen, Bryan Killed David and For

364
00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:04,559
of the best linebackers you'll ever see, I would put

365
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:14,400
Isaiah Glasker, Lucy Tomoy, Peyo uh Ulu Bai.

366
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, I do like well his defensive lineman if I'm

367
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,960
not mistaken, but yes.

368
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 5: And yeah, and and then the other guy who started

369
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,039
at middle backer's name, I'm forgetting who played for timbu

370
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:29,440
I'm forgetting his name. Line those four guys up, they

371
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,599
compared to your group, that's a comparable.

372
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:34,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot of people are saying that last year

373
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:37,400
with Jack Kelly, Isaiah Glasger, you know you had a

374
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,599
pretty good This one's even better.

375
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 5: This one's even better because you got a maybe a

376
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,680
sixty to seventy percent Isaiah Lasker last year. Yeah, Jack

377
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,640
Kelly's gonna be tough. I mean, Jack Kelly said too,

378
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:51,440
He's gonna be tough to replace. But I maintain Noosey

379
00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:54,039
has that talent to do it. Yeah, but you had

380
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,720
labe to this group. Oh bad, hot dog. Yes, this

381
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:04,799
is a linebacker defense. Linebacker base, that's who's gonna get

382
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:08,720
it done. It should be a fantastic defense. But my goodness,

383
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:13,880
losing Gennaro and Jay Hill stepping in two new coaches,

384
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,880
that's a tough ask. That's gonna be tough. We'll see

385
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,599
what they can do. Kelly Popping, I believe he is

386
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,400
a very capable individual. I believe he makes very good,

387
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,480
good hires. I have to trust this process. Klawe obviously

388
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,599
has the track record to improve situations. Yeah, let's see

389
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:32,559
what they got. It should be very very interesting to

390
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:35,119
see how this unfolds. But when you have a linebacker

391
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,440
group that b what he's gonna have, I think things

392
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,000
are gonna tend to take care of itself.

393
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: Brett always bringing the hammer. Your thoughts, your commentary to this? Uh?

394
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:48,200
This very Uh? These are impactful hires, These are impactful acquisitions. Uh.

395
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,599
Many people they they wanted, certain people they wanted, Certain

396
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:57,720
coaches either retained or acquired. And so I think overall

397
00:19:57,759 --> 00:19:59,680
BEEWA fans are happy with this. Uh.

398
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:02,519
Speaker 4: But your thoughts, I mean, first of all, I like

399
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:04,640
that you're getting it done early, that you're not having

400
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960
to wade along into the waters and kind of just

401
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,039
get whatever's left.

402
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: So you're gonna be.

403
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:12,519
Speaker 4: Not a have a whole lot of time to like

404
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,119
lose an identity or anything like that.

405
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,599
Speaker 2: My biggest question, I think is.

406
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 4: How much of last year's system, culture, identity, how much

407
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,240
of that carries over because again, like you do retain

408
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,160
a lot of coaches and the coaches that you did

409
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,960
pull in our guys. You know, obviously Lewis Walker was

410
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,759
somebody who played for Kilani, so you know who he is.

411
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,319
Klani knows him well enough to say, your personality, your

412
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,079
identity is a fit for what we do here. I

413
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,720
don't know the answer, but I am curious just how

414
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:49,319
much of how seamless? I guess is the question, how

415
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,079
seamless is it going to be from last year to

416
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,480
this year? Because the idea is hopefully, like again, you

417
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:57,839
keep a lot of the same guys, you promote guys

418
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:02,480
from within. Kelly Papinga was already working with your edges

419
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,839
and he was already a big part of the defense. Anyway,

420
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,640
is there going to be change an adjustment from last year,

421
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,599
and if so, how much? And then what are things

422
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,000
going to look like in terms of scheme, how new

423
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:19,759
will it be, what adjustments will there be? How quickly

424
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:21,680
do they pick that up. I'm curious to see that.

425
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:25,599
I feel like it's gonna be good and semi seamless. However,

426
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:28,599
nothing is a perfect carryover. So that's I think my

427
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,319
biggest question.

428
00:21:31,759 --> 00:21:33,559
Speaker 2: Let me address the defense, and I want to address

429
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,000
the offense. I think if you're gonna take any like

430
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:41,839
controversial like take in regards to the defensive coaching staff,

431
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,319
it would have been why didn't we retain you know,

432
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,319
Gavin Fowler, you know he goes becomes the DC, And

433
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,559
we were saying, some people are like, well, it's better

434
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:56,160
it maybe Gavin that wanted the Weaver State job. That's

435
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,759
a good job. It's a good job. He's going to

436
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,759
be able to scale that propel himself into the conversation

437
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,880
for maybe becoming a head coach now that he's a

438
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,559
d C at Weber State. Whereas if you're a position

439
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:11,039
coach at b YU, you're a safety's coach, where do

440
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:12,880
you go from there? Even if you're a passing game

441
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,880
coordinator or a special teams coordinator you know some people,

442
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,880
it just depends on your path, right, you know, Kellen

443
00:22:23,319 --> 00:22:26,440
or sorry, Gavin is probably not going to be able

444
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,559
to level up if he's at BYU. I don't know

445
00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:31,880
if he ever leaves BYU, you know what I mean.

446
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,119
G Man kind of knows, and maybe he wouldn't want

447
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,720
to leave BYU for his professional pathway. It may be

448
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,720
better that he's at Weber State if he wants to

449
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:43,359
be become eventually a head coach, if he wants to

450
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,200
be eventually a defensive coordinator at a at a power

451
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,920
for institution. So I think you look at what BYU

452
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,440
ended up acquiring though, and g Man, you know, I

453
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,359
think you I need to lean on you in this

454
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,119
as well, because having a safety's coach and a cornerbacks

455
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,359
coach that is that are minorities. I think is this

456
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:10,279
is never I don't know if this has ever happened.

457
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:16,039
At BUY, you have a safety's coach and a cornerbacks

458
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:19,119
coach that are both familiar with the region, both familiar

459
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,759
with the state of Utah. Over the last twenty years

460
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:25,640
recruiting Utah and the surrounding areas of the West Coast,

461
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:29,640
one having coached at SU and Boise State and the

462
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,440
other one having been to the East Coast, which is

463
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,000
going to be intriguing to me if he's going to

464
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:37,640
tap into his East Coast recruiting pipeline. But his roots

465
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,400
are in Utah. He played at Hawaii, played at Utah.

466
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,880
Lewis Clark has also recruited the state of Utah heavily

467
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:51,119
over the years. I think it's like I can't find

468
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,319
any holes in the acquisitions, is what I'm saying. Like

469
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,079
I can't find like I can't say, hey, this is

470
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,880
these aren't right, highers, because you have two guys that

471
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,640
have been defensive coordinators, one of them has been a

472
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:10,480
head coach, and they've also continually scaled in the business.

473
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:14,599
We had a Boise State insider that stated when Demorrio

474
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:19,359
Warren was getting some flack from donors and fans about

475
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,160
the secondary, all of the players that Demorrio was coaching

476
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,279
and the cornerbacks rallied around him, like, no, we love Tomorrio,

477
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:30,519
we love being coached by him. We believe in Tomrio.

478
00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:33,079
Lewis Clark, I think is going to be the same

479
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,599
type of player too. I think if you talk to

480
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,160
our same type of coach as well, you talk to

481
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,359
his players. One of the things that stood out to

482
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,599
me about is like Resume was obviously team captain in

483
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,680
high school, but most inspirational player. He's a leader, and

484
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,640
he's a recruiter. When you're inspirational, you're communicative. When you're inspirational,

485
00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:54,920
you're willing to go out and recruit and pallet payment

486
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:58,160
more so than anything. We have to leave no stone

487
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,400
unturned to find the gems of the United States of

488
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,759
America that fit BYU's culture, that have the highest athletic

489
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:13,240
potential and coverability. And I think to Mario and Lewis

490
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:16,680
with with the bau brand, the Big twelve brand, the

491
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:20,240
powerful you know, a powerful entity that it is with

492
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,799
proper anil support, I'm going to bet on these guys.

493
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:26,839
I'm actually very much intrigued. I'm excited.

494
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,039
Speaker 1: That brings me to just my over writing point.

495
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 5: Well, one thing fans always say, and this really bugs me,

496
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,680
he's a good coach, but not a good recruiter.

497
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: He's a good recruiter, but not a good coach.

498
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, recruiting is coaching, and I would argue, if

499
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,559
you're a position coach, that's that's most.

500
00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:45,519
Speaker 1: Of what coaching is for.

501
00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:49,799
Speaker 5: You, recruiting is more important than anything else you do

502
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,599
on that staff. And I maintained that it's all about

503
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,720
recruitment and this is why, and retention and that's a

504
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,119
very important for the secondary where you're dealing with a

505
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,880
lot of double minority And this is the big thing,

506
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,000
the big boy that General Gilbert's leaving is the retention

507
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,039
of double minorities in his cornerback rooms is unlike anything

508
00:26:10,039 --> 00:26:13,359
I've ever seen. It's been phenomenal. You have to maintain

509
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,960
that that is the single most important thing for these

510
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,960
guys to continue and even enhance.

511
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: No other thing.

512
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, yeah, development, all that, Yeah, technique, sure,

513
00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:30,880
that's important, But recruitment and retention, that's what that's the onus.

514
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,559
That's number one with all these coaches. So I like

515
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,240
that you brought up that point because that's and Claudia

516
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,200
knows this, Claudia knows is better than one right. So

517
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,079
bringing the double minorities in to coach the safeties in

518
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,839
the cornerbacks, I like that foundation.

519
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:49,079
Speaker 1: Plus they have the resume to back it up. Yes,

520
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,160
I'm with you on this.

521
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyways, that's where I'm at with the defense.

522
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,720
I think the only thing that you can say is like, hey,

523
00:26:54,759 --> 00:26:57,599
we probably should have retained a coach that was there

524
00:26:57,599 --> 00:27:01,200
at b Way in order to you know, make congruity

525
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,559
and scheme and all those things. But I think they

526
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:08,920
have enough coaches that have been running the scheme over

527
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,319
the last few years to maintain the schematics in its integrity.

528
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,799
I would have loved to see Kellen at b YU

529
00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:19,839
would have loved to see Sorry, Gavin, I keep saying Kellen.

530
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,799
Kellen's my teammate, Gavin's his younger brother who played with

531
00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:25,200
my brother Matthew. Anyway, I would have loved to see

532
00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:29,480
Gavin Rattaine. But I actually think from a professional standpoint,

533
00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,559
Gavin's in a better spot as the defensive coordinator going

534
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:36,039
out there pounding pavement, recruiting and living up because that's

535
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:38,359
gonna be a really good we Restate team. I think defensively,

536
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,920
Tanner Jacobson over there as well, special teams coordinator asistant

537
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,079
head coach with coach care, that's gonna be a really

538
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,799
good football program next year. It's go and for years

539
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:50,240
to come with this coaching staff that they've built. And anyway,

540
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:52,200
let me talk. Let me turn the tides over to

541
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Tyler Hughes. I think this is the biggest one. Many

542
00:27:56,839 --> 00:27:59,240
people didn't know who Matt and Mitchell was until about

543
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,200
a year and a half ago.

544
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: Year ago.

545
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: You know, if you listen to our show, we talk

546
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,359
about Matt Mitchell even prior to that and the impact

547
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,000
that he had. Remember, you're as an offensive coordinator, you

548
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,839
want a film junkie that's highly analytical and it can

549
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,559
also recruit, uh, you know, you're looking for that whole

550
00:28:17,559 --> 00:28:20,960
list in mind. But like much of their bandwidth is practice,

551
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:26,559
uh planning, how how they're going to structure the practice

552
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,480
and getting in the install and things of that nature.

553
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,759
It's oversight, it's architecture and and also closing on the

554
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,440
offensive or defensive side. So Aaron Roderick and k Pop

555
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,759
are your are your two coordinators in that regard, But

556
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:45,039
you need to have boots on the ground day in

557
00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:47,599
and day out, hands on. You know that that that

558
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880
personal touch, and that's where a guy like Tyler Hughes

559
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,200
is gonna come in. This is interesting. I don't know

560
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,559
if you guys have looked at his resume, very unique resume,

561
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
American football coach with experience at essentially every level of

562
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,559
the game, high school Junior College n cublea NFL in

563
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:04,480
twenty twenty five, he was a football analyst for the

564
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:09,440
University of Alabama. Okay, so now he's coming over to

565
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,799
BYU as an assistants quarterbacks coach. So, I mean, canaan

566
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:15,160
de board. We can all agree he's a good coach.

567
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,079
And you know, they went to the College Fotball Playoff.

568
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,799
But he's also been a head coach too. He's been

569
00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:32,720
a head coach in Cuba. Experience across multiple teams, multiple programs,

570
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:38,319
multiple platforms. New England Patriots, he was with them as

571
00:29:38,359 --> 00:29:42,359
an offensive assistant from twenty twenty to twenty twenty two.

572
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:47,200
He was the wide receivers coach as well, apparently under

573
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,799
Jared Mayo. So, and that was in twenty twenty four.

574
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,160
As a head coach, he's been a head coach seven

575
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,720
total seasons, which is interesting at different at different levels.

576
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:04,759
He's originally from Salt Lake City and look, I mean

577
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:08,160
he's been at snow You know, he's recruited the state

578
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,319
of Utah in the past. He was at Washington as

579
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:16,839
an offensive analyst, minut State as the head coach. It

580
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,880
was a bit of a program rebuild southern Virginia. He

581
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,519
was there as head coach. He was a quality, controlling

582
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,960
quarterback quarterback assistant coach under Urban Meyer in twenty thirteen

583
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,799
at Ohio State. Pretty but robust resume. A lot of

584
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,119
experience that will help Aaron Roderick here. You know, we're

585
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:38,640
getting to this day and age. I think it's interesting

586
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,680
now that we have resources, institutional resource and not just

587
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,519
nil resources. Okay, we're able to go out and find

588
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:51,400
and attract a Kevin Gilbride who had coached in the NFL.

589
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:54,119
Not only coach in the NFL, but he was brought

590
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,119
up his father was a head coach in the National

591
00:30:57,119 --> 00:31:01,519
Football League with some really good teams doing high level

592
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:04,559
things at the top of the of the of the

593
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,440
NFL world, of the professional world. You go out and

594
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,200
find Tyler Hughes. This is unique to find this guy

595
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,160
as an assistance quarterbacks coach. This it gets you excited

596
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,319
about the future of BYU football. BYU fans have always

597
00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:28,480
had a high expectation for BYU. Most of the achievements

598
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:33,400
at BYU, I think per dollars spent in coaching talent

599
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:40,640
and definitely per coaching guy in like the infrastructure, the

600
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,880
institutional resources, that were allocated to the players. I would

601
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,559
say the players overachieved for the coaches they just have.

602
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:51,400
B YU was overachieved. You got to give a lot

603
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,079
of credit to coaches, there's no doubt. But I think

604
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,640
the player that that BYU attracts naturally has been raised

605
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,319
in great homes that you can always have. So we've

606
00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:04,640
overachieved with our talent. Now we're getting to the point

607
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,480
where we have even better talent on the player side

608
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:12,400
and better coaching. What have I complained about the most?

609
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,480
G Man? You know, it's about attracting and retaining talent

610
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,599
and developing talent. You need as many touch points as

611
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:22,640
possible to do that. Basketball has a two to one

612
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,799
ratio coach mentor to player. No wonder, they went to

613
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:31,920
the Sweet sixteen last year, right, No wonder? You need

614
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,839
to get closer to that.

615
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,119
Speaker 1: Now.

616
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: It's one to two player to coach at for BAU football.

617
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,759
So you need really high quality assistance that can manage,

618
00:32:42,279 --> 00:32:47,319
you know, ten players and do a really good job

619
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:49,640
of that. Does that make sense? Five to ten players

620
00:32:49,839 --> 00:32:52,319
do a really good job of that. So I'm excited

621
00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:55,599
about this. Tyler Hughes is a really nice, nice hire

622
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,920
for BYU. Congratulations to Tyler and his family, but congrat

623
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:02,240
relation to a Rod for going out and find the

624
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,519
right finding the right guy. This was an outside the box.

625
00:33:05,759 --> 00:33:09,319
No one was talking about Tyler Hughes. Nobody. I sure

626
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,960
teck what I had my list of guys. Tyler Hughes

627
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:12,799
was an on my roster.

628
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 5: You mentioned Kevin Gilbride. That's a very good comparison. Just

629
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,559
what he is. It's like, wow, there's like no connections,

630
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:22,240
but they went and.

631
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,759
Speaker 2: Got this guy.

632
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, makes you excited about it?

633
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:25,759
Speaker 2: No, it does.

634
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 5: And Matt Mitchell was the most underrated coach on the staff.

635
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,079
I believe what he did. I it was phenomenal. I

636
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,920
was able to walk the sidelines during the Arizona game

637
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,839
and just watching him on the sidelines. He was the

638
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,599
quarterbacks coach. They all gathered with him after every time out,

639
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,920
and he knew what he was doing. I just asked

640
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,279
Bear Bachmeyer how valuable Matt Mitchell was in his development.

641
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: So getting a guy like Hughes.

642
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 5: That can not only continue, but baby implement and and

643
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,160
and surpassed even what Matt Mitchell gave you, that's a

644
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:58,880
tremendous thing.

645
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:03,039
Speaker 1: Because quarterbacks kind of important at the collegiate level, well.

646
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,319
Speaker 2: You're you're trying to attract and retain and develop high

647
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,840
level quarterback talent without them like transferring. That's the biggest

648
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,599
issue in college football right now. And you want to

649
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:16,280
have at least like two deep quality right and it's

650
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,400
just a new day and age the way that you

651
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,559
can do it. Obviously, John Beck's been critical piece in

652
00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:23,320
that because offseason you're consulting with him. You're already on

653
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,679
the West Coast. It's a it's a pretty easy flight there.

654
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,480
You have multiple a multitude of flights of flights between

655
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,119
Breeze and Southwest, et cetera. Uh seeing, and he comes

656
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:35,480
into town too. But you need a guy with NFL experience,

657
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,519
like this is going to be unique Tyler Hughes and

658
00:34:40,519 --> 00:34:44,320
that's gonna be unique in house guy that's that that

659

00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,280
cannot confirm her tone that, uh you know that I

704
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:05,519

00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,559
Gun movie, the original Top Gun movie.

715
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 5: Well, Top Gun was one of those breakthrough movies. But

716
00:37:36,519 --> 00:37:40,000
that was unlike any thing anyone's ever seen before. And

717
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,719
that was the scene and that song came on and

718
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,840
you saw something you've never seen before as well.

719
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:50,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first time I watched that, kid, I remember

720
00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:51,440
having to skip through that.

721
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,079
Speaker 2: It's a little steamy, like Stevie movie. I mean, if

722
00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:59,360

723
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,679
Speaker 5: And you look over, Dad's very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

724
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,519
Speaker 1: Yeah this sticks with you.

725
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: You know, me as a dad, not uncomfortable. All that's great.

726
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,760
Yeah you can, you can, I like, you know, you know,

727
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,280

728
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,119
the movie there, of course, I hey, you can't watch this.

729
00:38:20,159 --> 00:38:22,679
I would be looking up at it early and I

730
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,639
hold I'd hold my wife's hands like later, babe, you'll

731
00:38:25,679 --> 00:38:28,519

00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,840
hate relationship with this whole making love thing in the

737
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,320
confines of marriage. It's perfectly good.

738
00:38:44,519 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 3: Then you know my comment that I always say, right,

739
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,719
I I told people this, I said, God doesn't come

740
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:49,320
in the bedroom.

741
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: There you go.

Speaker 2: Nah.

764
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 5: We had a karaoke party and she sang that song

765
00:39:57,559 --> 00:39:59,119
Carryo and she nailed it and it.

766
00:39:59,119 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: Took your breath away.

767
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 5: Oh, she became so much better after that song.

768
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:09,159
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was like day. Yeah, don't that

769
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:09,840

770
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:11,159
Speaker 3: So they got the digits.

771
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,599
Speaker 1: Oh, this was such a long time.

772
00:40:12,639 --> 00:40:16,119
Speaker 2: There's a long long time ago, a gallay. You can

773
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:19,440
tell me on me that I still remember that. Yeah,

774
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,679
it was. It was an indelible moment for the g man.

775
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, still has taken away.

776
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes you need you need the talents and abilities.

777
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 5: But as I did throughout our entire ward experience, you

778
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,079
know this bear of the name one, because we attended

779
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:33,000
the same ward together, I did not seize my opportunity.

780
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 2: You did not seize the day.

781
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: Did not? I did not.

782
00:40:35,079 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: Let's not lay he didn't seize day anyway. Let me

783
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,079
get you this question today. So, Tyler Hughes, assistant quarterbacks coach,

784
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:42,519
I think this is probably you know yesterday it was

785
00:40:42,599 --> 00:40:46,280
Lewis Clark was the headliner. I would say, uh is

786
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,960
the main acquisition. And then you have Tyler Hughes as

787
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,840
your assistant quarterbacks coach twenty twenty five, Alabama Analysts twenty

788
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,760
twenty four, Patriots wide receiver coach twenty twenty three, Washington

789
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,000
Huskies Analysts twenty twenty to twenty twenty two offensive assistant.

790
00:41:01,639 --> 00:41:05,199
He's also a coach as a quality controlled assistant at

791
00:41:05,199 --> 00:41:08,199
Ohio State under Urban Myer, who's the head coach at

792
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:10,960
Snow College from twenty eleven to twenty twelve. He's a

793
00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:13,440
Utah State grad a member of the Church of Jesus

794
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,960
Christ of Latter Day Saints. Your thoughts on the acquisition,

795
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:18,159
Tyler Hughes.

796
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: I love it. I for all the reasons I stated before.

797
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 5: You like b way you to have a white umbrella,

798
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,039
and you like guys that don't fit what you think

799
00:41:27,039 --> 00:41:28,920
of the way you coach is. That's why I like

800
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,159
the Kevin Gilbright hires so much. That's why I like

801
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,079
Tyler Hughes. It's far reaching. It's a guy with a

802
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:38,079
lot of experience that can bring in new life. And

803
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:40,119
I like that the way you hired him, because it's

804
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,199
really easy to go out there and just hire someone

805
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,079
you're comfortable with. It's just a yes man. Yeah, yeah,

806
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:48,079
I'll do whatever you say. You don't really want.

807
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: That to me.

808
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 5: This is very well done by a Rod. I mean

809
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,440
you have to think Gay Rod was personally responsible for

810
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,480
the Kevin Gilbright thing.

811
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

812
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: He's spreading his wings.

813
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:06,159
Speaker 5: He wants input, he wants to develop, and I think

814
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:10,199
Aaron Roderick had a breakthrough season for himself. Not so

815
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,679
much in that he just became a better coach, but

816
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,920
I think fans started to realize, yeah.

817
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: This guy's pretty good.

818
00:42:16,519 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 5: I think a lot of doubters are not doubters anymore

819
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,199
of a Rod, just with what he was able to

820
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,559
forge last season. If not, you're dumb, because he did

821
00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:27,679
an amazing job the development of a Bear Bot mark. Yeah,

822
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:31,599
Bear's phenomenal, But it wasn't all Bear that That's.

823
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,639
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. But this just kind of exemplifies who

824
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:35,440
A Rod is.

825
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 5: And I think A Rod's development as a coach fired

826
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,360
twice from the University of Utah just kind of coming

827
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,880
back to BYU being able to and he didn't come

828
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,800
as the offensive coordinator. He took a demotion, he was

829
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:55,199
just the quarterbacks coach. Yeah, and just become what he is.

830
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,360
I think it's a phenomenal story. So props to A

831
00:42:57,599 --> 00:42:59,400
Rod and I think this is going to continue it.

832
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,800
I think this is a fantastic higher.

833
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:03,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, like the low hanging fruit for that

834
00:43:03,639 --> 00:43:07,639
particular hire would have been, you know, hire someone internally

835
00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:10,679
that's already there, that's an analyst. Right, would have been

836
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,000
like bringing in a former b with your player that

837
00:43:13,079 --> 00:43:15,000
was a quarterback that's kind of coached in the high

838
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,079
school or collegiate ranks. Right, you could have done something

839
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:19,639
like that, Like it wouldn't have been a bad hire,

840
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,800
Like you could have went out and got, you know,

841
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,719
a local coach, Like I was looking at different coaches

842
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,480
that are offensive minded coaches that have a ton of

843
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,360
experience at the high school or collegiate level. It's like,

844
00:43:32,159 --> 00:43:33,679
you know, Zach Erickson. I thought that would have been

845
00:43:33,679 --> 00:43:35,199
a good higher. Max Hall would have been a good

846
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,840
higher right like, obviously you're not gonna get John right now.

847
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,679
We chatted with him. He's he's uh, he's trained three,

848
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,559
trained three DQB and he's coaching up his kids. You're

849
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:48,079
not gonna have access to John and until he's in

850
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:52,159
the twilight of his his rearing of the children, right

851
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:54,920
because he wants to coach them. He values that. But

852
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,280
you could have gone a number of different directions here

853
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:02,400
within your like BYU alumni, big I wouldn't have a

854
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,960
problem with that. I really wouldn't have had an issue

855
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,800
with that. The question is, are have we crossed a

856
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:15,800
threshold right of limitations where we're only hiring like former

857
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:24,280
BYU players, right like super connected BYU like talents to

858
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,119
come and coach And obviously you are. They're still there.

859
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,400
Remember Kevin gilbrid was once upon a time a BUA

860
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,800
football player. This guy's from the Tyler Hughes is from

861
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,079
the state of Youth or from the state of Utah,

862
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:40,639
Okay and with a head coach at SNOW So it's like,

863
00:44:41,039 --> 00:44:44,719
but look at the diversity of experience that he has

864
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,480
because he was bought into the game. How many times

865
00:44:47,519 --> 00:44:52,320
have we hired guys that weren't necessarily bought into the

866
00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:57,400
college football or NFL coaching game. They weren't necessarily always

867
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,920
like with this professionally focused.

868
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: Basically half of Kelanie's initial staff.

869
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:07,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna be perfectly honest.

870
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: They were in and out of coaching. You know, they

871
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,519
like coaching, but was it their profession.

872
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: No, it's just a b way you and that's it

873
00:45:17,159 --> 00:45:17,679
type of thing.

874
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:18,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

875
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to mention any names, but that's kind

876
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,519
of what it was. Coaching's hard. It takes a lot

877
00:45:24,519 --> 00:45:26,280
of sacrifice. You're on the road a lot.

878
00:45:26,599 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 5: I touched on recruiting, that's what coaching is. These guys

879
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,000
spend so much time pounding that pavement and all that.

880
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,159
One of my favorite articles I did it was actually

881
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:37,800
with Killye poppinga and I talked to him, I want

882
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,800
to get a real insight of what it's like as

883
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,880
a coach on the road, and he said, you show

884
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,920
up and you're gonna miss and miss and miss and miss.

885
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,519
Speaker 1: It's it's like that that sells.

886
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 5: Job where you're not getting a sell I don't know

887
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,840
for maybe months on end, but then you land that

888
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,320
big one and sometimes you don't think you made that

889
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,519
connection but you did, and something is realized maybe two

890
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:03,320
or three years down the line. But it takes a

891
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:08,400
lot of initiative. That's what recruiting is. It's initiative. It's

892
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,239
being aggressive. It's all that where people say, oh man,

893
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,119
how they find that guy? That's kind of lucky. You know,

894
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,360
it's initiative because you're out there so you can grasp

895
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,800
one of those opportunities. Get your Evan Johnson, I mean,

896
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:21,639
are you kidding me?

897
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:22,599
Speaker 1: How are you able to.

898
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 5: Identify that and bring that in that? That's just networking

899
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,960
and all that. It's tough and it takes a lot

900
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:34,119
of initiatives. So and just someone that has to understand

901
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,480
they have to love it enough to do that because

902
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:39,639
it's not easy. It is not easy just being out

903
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:42,440
there and just thinking you're not doing anything weeks on

904
00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:44,719
end away from your family and whatnot.

905
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,679
Speaker 1: But building those connections it's tough.

906
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,039
Speaker 5: So yeah, you need coaches that they'll love it enough

907
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:52,559
and love football enough that that's their profession and they're

908
00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:55,400
willing to do that because that's what coaching is, especially

909
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,639
in this nil era.

910
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,119
Speaker 1: You've got to get out there.

911
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's, uh, it's intriguing to me. This particular

912
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,119
higher because look, are we the quarterback factory still?

913
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:10,039
Speaker 1: Are we?

914
00:47:10,199 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 2: QBU?

915
00:47:11,519 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: No?

916
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: No, What I'm saying is like I think, are we

917
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,559
a top twenty five quarterback developing program? Yeah? Yeah, so

918
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,599
you want to continue to acquire, retain develop high level

919
00:47:23,679 --> 00:47:25,760
quarterback play, right, yeah, we're all there.

920
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: No, no BWA just linebacker you.

921
00:47:27,519 --> 00:47:28,559
Speaker 2: Well yeah they're linebacker you.

922
00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 4: But like, look at how many guys BOU has gotten drafted,

923
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,239
and then look at every other school and how many

924
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,960
of their quarterbacks are getting drafted on a regular basis.

925
00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:39,880
Like I know, I know, I understand Jaron Hall and

926
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,119
Keaton Slovas are not going to the Super Bowl winning

927
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:46,199
NFL MVP, But I think we have as BOU, people

928
00:47:46,199 --> 00:47:48,360
have gotten like just in the zone of like, yeah,

929
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,360
quarterbacks get drafted, That's just how it goes.

930
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:51,159
Speaker 1: Like I'll tell you.

931
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,079
Speaker 4: A guy who loves the University of Georgia. Even Georgia

932
00:47:54,199 --> 00:47:56,039
quarterbacks don't get drafted a whole lot.

933
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:57,079
Speaker 2: So the fact that.

934
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 4: Bolia has been able to do this and get guys

935
00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:02,480
drafted on a consistent in justified last five years is

936
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:03,159
a big deal.

937
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:10,119
Speaker 2: So since two thousand, how many quarterbacks have been developed

938
00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:15,280
at BYU and played in the NFL. Obviously Brandon Doman,

939
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:21,960
John Beck, Max Hall, Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson, Jaren Hall,

940
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,679
Keiden Slovas. It's pretty it's not bad. Like eight or

941
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,199
so quarterbacks good over a you know, a twenty five

942
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,440
year period, many of them drafted.

943
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

944
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:39,079
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty good. I think I think the

945
00:48:39,159 --> 00:48:41,480
quarterback factory is still a life and well and it's

946
00:48:41,599 --> 00:48:44,760
there's been a resurgence of it since probably I mean,

947
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,719
you can say twenty sixteen when Kalani came in. I

948
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,519
think you can give some credit to Kalani tapping into

949
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:55,159
the Lavell era, right, but like, but also you got

950
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,599
to give a lot of credit to, you know, the

951
00:48:58,679 --> 00:49:02,000
coaching staff that brought in in Brandon Doman, that was

952
00:49:02,039 --> 00:49:05,360
the Lavelle era. Then you have John Beck and Max

953
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,480
Hall who were recruited Brandon Doman recruited Max Hall. By

954
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,280
the way, John Beck was recruited by Robbie Bosco, I mean,

955
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,719
you know, and he gave him that offer. Shout out

956
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480
to Robbie going to be a mission president. Taysom Hill,

957
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:22,840
Luckily Harbaugh left Stanford, you know, Luckily they didn't have

958
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,440
a scholarship for him when he came off his mission

959
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,639
and he bounced.

960
00:49:26,599 --> 00:49:28,079
Speaker 1: That's scholarship for Taysom.

961
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,559
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, shout out to Brandon Doman. That was another

962
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:32,800
acquisition from Brandon. Ver Maybe gotta get Brandon on the

963
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,039
line and say he is the quarterback factory still alive

964
00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:37,039
and well, because that's what'd be interesting, right, Get his

965
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:40,760
thoughts on a Rod and John the touch point of

966
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,960
John Beck, the development of John Beck and now Tyler

967
00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:47,159
Hughes and how what role Hill play in all this?

968
00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:49,320
Got to give a big carle to Matt Mitchell. He

969
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,280
was a pivotal in the development of bear Bachmeyer. Is

970
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,360
bear Bachmeyer on pace to become an NFL quarterback? Indubitably?

971
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,679
Indubitably the quarterback factory is alive and well, ladies and gentlemen,

972
00:49:59,679 --> 00:50:02,679
and perative that it continues to be good. You know

973
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,039
what's another key component of the quarterback factory going into

974
00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:09,440
the modern era doctor Skyler, Maine Kolbe, Glassan and Ryan

975
00:50:09,519 --> 00:50:14,199
phillis those three guys biomechanics. You know, like I was

976
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,360
chatting with someone today about gate functions. So it's like

977
00:50:17,519 --> 00:50:22,039
in in orthopedics and sports medicine with orthotics in uh

978
00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:25,840
in in in uh just medical devices. We're always talking

979
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,519
about like gate analysis. He was, he's a horse guy.

980
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:33,280
He's like, do you know there's like gate analysis AI

981
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,079
tools for like your horses. Horses are big business if

982
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:39,960
you guys don't know, I mean horses are breeding and

983
00:50:40,199 --> 00:50:45,480
racing and like show horses, like not just racing, but

984
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:48,440
like the how they you know, prants on their little hoofs.

985
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:55,920
That's gait. Okay. So like your biomechanical like outputs and

986
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,960
your range, emotion, your elasticity, your ability to create generation

987
00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:05,360
this rotational torque through the lower half and these throwing

988
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:14,559
motions and developing every key marginal competitive advantage. It all matters, guys,

989
00:51:14,599 --> 00:51:17,079
all of it, you know what I mean. Like if

990
00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:20,039
you go to train three dqb's a website and I

991
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:22,119
know Brett knows this because he's on that website. He

992
00:51:22,159 --> 00:51:24,719
posts some of the the advertisement. Ever John comes on

993
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,039
because we want to support his business every time he

994
00:51:27,079 --> 00:51:32,679
comes on. But it's like biomecant elite biomechanical training. It's kinesiology.

995
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,400
It's the movement of the body and maximizing okay, the

996
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:43,599
output and strength and maintaining the health of the body

997
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:47,360
at all the same time. So those guys deserve I

998
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,159
think that we've got to keep an eye on that.

999
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,320
And they've been there for a minute, they've been there

1000
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:52,920
for a few years now, and we're seeing some of

1001
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,760
the fruits of that too, and I can't wait to

1002
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:55,679
see more fruits of it.

1003
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,039
Speaker 1: Oh, it just goes into your your statement that the

1004
00:51:59,079 --> 00:52:00,159
more of the merrier.

1005
00:52:01,159 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: Well, you have to have alignment. Sometimes you can have

1006
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,159
too many cooks in the kitchen. So you do need

1007
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:08,400
true alignment. You don't just hire to hire. You don't

1008
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,119
just hire to hire. You have to have alignment. You

1009
00:52:11,159 --> 00:52:15,039
have to have collaborative problem solvers, synergizers, because if you

1010
00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:17,760
get too many alphas you know in there that don't

1011
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,599
want to collaborate and teammate work and like they're not aligned,

1012
00:52:20,599 --> 00:52:24,000
there's there's a lot of infighting. Yeah, and there's a

1013
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,320
lot of ego and a lot of like, well you know,

1014
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:32,119
leveraging and like it can it can go awry, it can't.

1015
00:52:32,119 --> 00:52:35,320
But I see a lot of alignment, strategic alignment here

1016
00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:41,039
with these hires. So I'm optimistic, like I really am.

1017
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,440
I'm optimist about the defense secondary. I think that the

1018
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,239
cool thing is like we you know, you have to

1019
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,679
go back probably to the eighties and late seventies to

1020
00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:56,280
with like Scoville, Lavelle was implementing a new a new

1021
00:52:56,599 --> 00:53:02,639
wave of scheme and he was having Bill Walsh of

1022
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:06,480
the forty nine ers into the eighties funnel young up

1023
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:11,639
and coming West Coast style talent coaching talent to b

1024
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:19,599
yu home grin Billick. They came to brig them to

1025
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,119
learn from Lavelle in the scheme because it was being

1026
00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:26,159
employed in the NFL and then they would be there

1027
00:53:26,199 --> 00:53:28,320
for a few years and then they move on to

1028
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,440
the NFL and they rose to power, that rose to

1029
00:53:30,519 --> 00:53:33,519
fame to a certain extent. I don't know if that's

1030
00:53:33,519 --> 00:53:35,639
what the pathway is going to be for these coaches

1031
00:53:35,679 --> 00:53:38,119
that have been around the block, But like you're seeing

1032
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,639
good NFL touch points at BYU right now, and you're

1033
00:53:41,639 --> 00:53:47,440
seeing a nice balance of collegiate experience as well proven

1034
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,760
collegiate experience that are professionals in their craft. This is

1035
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,559
what they do for a living, this is what they've been,

1036
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:55,119
this is who they're gonna be.

1037
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,159
Speaker 5: And one guy that needs to be mentioned is guess

1038
00:53:58,199 --> 00:54:00,000
who's still around gury.

1039
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,639
Speaker 2: In Gary Anderson's around.

1040
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: Gary, He's still there, guys, he's there. He did not

1041
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:05,159
go to Michigan.

1042
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: Hold on, here we go, Here we go, Here we go.

1043
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,280
We had to turn it off there for a minute.

1044
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:08,559
Speaker 1: Victory.

1045
00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:13,199
Speaker 2: Rich Rodriguez, also head coach of West Virginia, told a

1046
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,440
story how he came down here to talk to the

1047
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:20,360
BYU coaches about the passing game. Oh yeah, that's right, yeah,

1048
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,920
Rich Rod. Back in the day, right, yeah, I mean

1049
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,880
there was a lot of you know, passing game talent

1050
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,440
that came through b YU and the glory days, and

1051
00:54:29,519 --> 00:54:33,480
to a certain degree, like we're seeing the modern day

1052
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,239
glory days for BYU fans. Realize, like you're experiencing something

1053
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,119
that has only happened like three times in BYU football history,

1054
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:48,719
the winningest ways, the development of NFL talent. It's seventy

1055
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,800
nine to eighty five, that's the glory days. You have

1056
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,199
five to twenty eleven, those are some glory days, guys.

1057
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,519
Lots of double digit win seasons, NFL talent being produced,

1058
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:03,199
all that, and then twenty twenty to twenty twenty five

1059
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,960
eleven and one, okay, ten and three, eight and five,

1060
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,559
five and seven, a little bit of a dip. But

1061
00:55:09,679 --> 00:55:11,880
remember on that back end dip five and seven, you

1062
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,280
almost beat two top ten teams that were double digit

1063
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,840
win teams, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Like you're like there,

1064
00:55:17,039 --> 00:55:19,360
you're knocking on the door, okay, in your second year

1065
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,480
of the Big twelve, right, or first year of the

1066
00:55:21,519 --> 00:55:24,039
Big twelve, excuse me? And then you go eleven and

1067
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:27,920
two twelve and two, and you're developing high level talent,

1068
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,440
and you're acquiring high level talent in the coaching staff.

1069
00:55:30,119 --> 00:55:32,199
Speaker 1: And playing much better competition.

1070
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,559
Speaker 2: And you're playing better competition weekend and week out. It's

1071
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:38,800
a great day to be a Cougar. It is, it

1072
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,840
really is. Is these are the glory days.

1073
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: Now.

1074
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 5: When you look at what BAU has returning next year,

1075
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,400
it's gonna be hard to screw that up.

1076
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really hard to screw that up.

1077
00:55:48,559 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1078
00:55:49,039 --> 00:55:51,159
Speaker 5: I think they nailed the transfer portal, still want another

1079
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:56,360
running back. Other than that, they nailed it. I the

1080
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,920
retention the guys coming back. I think they're poised to

1081
00:56:00,119 --> 00:56:04,480
be as good as any BAU team I've ever covered. Absolutely,

1082
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,079
And I think last year's team was as good as

1083
00:56:06,119 --> 00:56:07,320
any team I've ever covered.

1084
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: Next year's team should be even better.

1085
00:56:10,519 --> 00:56:14,360
