You can hear him every single 29 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,000 day on ESPN seven hundred and their midday show show 30 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,719 and how that car are you? 31 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: Buddy? Thanks for joining me. 32 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me. 33 00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 5: What a day? 34 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,719 Speaker 2: Huh crazy? 35 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: I mean, we kind of felt like this was happening, 36 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920 but there is some waffling. I felt like I felt 37 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,760 like there was a little bit of a power struggle 38 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,200 here with you know, maybe maybe Kyle didn't want to 39 00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:39,920 step down, didn't want to retire. All the news coming 40 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280 out of this, obviously he is stepping down, he's not 41 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,760 officially retiring. 42 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: Sounds like there. 43 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,239 Speaker 3: Was a bit of upheaval, maybe a little bit of 44 00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:49,959 power play going on over the last couple of weeks. 45 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,239 Speaker 2: With the end of the season coming to an end. 46 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 4: I don't really know that there was a power play 47 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:01,159 so much as there was indecision happening, because you know, 48 00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,200 this is a man who's a football lifer, who is 49 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:06,560 trying to convince himself that maybe he doesn't need to 50 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,479 be a football lifer at the University of Utah. I'm 51 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,159 mildly surprised to see what Stuart Mandel is reporting that 52 00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:17,120 he might seek other coaching opportunities. But I mean, coach 53 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:21,159 Witt has been laying this groundwork for now for really 54 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,840 two and a half three years. He would have stepped 55 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,960 away last season if it hadn't been such a disastrous result. 56 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,280 You know, five wins. He's too competitive to go out 57 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,319 on that note. And obviously a ten win season not 58 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:38,400 quite right off into the sunset season that he probably 59 00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:42,080 hoped for, which I'm sure incentivized him in some way to, hey, 60 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,800 maybe should I do it again? But this is something 61 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400 that he's been hinting at now for the better part 62 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,240 of three years, and he's stepping down. If there's an 63 00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,639 NFL job out there, he would obviously take it. If 64 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680 there's a massive like a University of Michigan interest in 65 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,319 somebody like Kyle Whittingham, which seems like, you know, kind 66 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:03,039 of far fetched at this point. I'm sure he'll take 67 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,000 something like that beyond any of those huge opportunities. I 68 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,879 can't imagine him coaching on a sideline somewhere else, at 69 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,879 least not next year. 70 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: So what's as far as head coaching jobs right now? 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,520 Not very many of them available. We're getting towards the 72 00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,719 end of the cycle, but there are a few still available. 73 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:25,280 Do you think he receives calls or do you think 74 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:28,400 people are viewing college in the twilight of his career 75 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,039 and still doesn't have he doesn't have any energy left. 76 00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:32,639 I mean, this is a good football team. I mean 77 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,759 you're on the cusp of greatness. You lost to your 78 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,759 rival by three on the road. You had Texas Tech 79 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,639 at home, right and you fought to the nail through 80 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:43,240 three quarters. 81 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: Fourth quarter they pulled away from you. Texas Tech very 82 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,599 well could be a national champion. 83 00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: With an influx of cash, maybe some nil, he can 84 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,479 go out and purchase a pretty good staff and a 85 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,879 pretty gosh dang good roster. 86 00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,199 Speaker 4: I think if you're if you're an athletic director or 87 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,960 you're a university president, if you're in athletic department, and 88 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,000 you're seeing what Chris com Ronning and Stuart Mandela reporting, 89 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,240 and you're saying, wait, Kyle Whittingham's leaving Utah, but he's 90 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:12,039 not necessarily retiring. Am I in a position right now 91 00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:15,360 where I want someone for two to three seasons where 92 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,759 I need somebody that kind of writes this ship, gets 93 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,639 us back on a positive path, and then eventually he 94 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,560 steps down. And maybe it's only one season, but a 95 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:27,639 short If you're looking for a short term fix, which 96 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:30,000 I don't think very many people are in college football, 97 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,839 to be frank, but if you're somebody out there in 98 00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:36,439 a leadership position who's looking for a relatively short term fix, 99 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,639 there would be no better call to make than Kyle Whittingham. 100 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839 I don't know who's in that position. I mean, my 101 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360 imagination can run wild, and I could say, if I'm 102 00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:48,360 Michigan and we just got rocked by some crazy scandal, 103 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,480 who do I want? I want someone who's the opposite 104 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:51,959 of scandal. 105 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 5: I want someone. 106 00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: Who's as boring and steady and reliable as I can 107 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,279 possibly find. And that's a sixty six year old Kyle 108 00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:05,079 Whittingham who's been married forever. And you know, wants to 109 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,920 be wants to be thought of as one of the 110 00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:09,959 best coaches in the country. I could provide him those 111 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,240 resources that you just hinto that and maybe he can 112 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,639 pass the torch to somebody else. Again, I think that's 113 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:19,399 incredibly far fetched. But if if he's leaving the glimmer 114 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,480 and the possibility this little window open that he might coach, 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,959 it would only be in my mind a place like. 116 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,319 Speaker 3: That, any chance BYU, if their funds they want to 117 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:34,360 go bring in another analyst, a senior analyst. They're at 118 00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,399 Brigham Young University. 119 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: I think that would be one job that he would 120 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,399 absolutely not take. 121 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: He doesn't want that. 122 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: He let's say, as far away from probo as possible. 123 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,959 Speaker 4: Well, I mean also, he's not the type that wants 124 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:54,040 to stir up somebody else's punch bowl. You know, like 125 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,519 Kyle and Klane are friends. Kyle has repeatedly acknowledged with 126 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,759 a great job Kilinie's doing down there. He's got relationships 127 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,920 with a bunch of the guys on that staff, And 128 00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:05,759 as soon as you throw somebody like that in, it 129 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,720 just upsets the power balance and creates rumors and like 130 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:14,160 all these insane situations and drama that Kyle Whittingham is 131 00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:14,720 allergic to. 132 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 5: So no shot of that. 133 00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there are only head coaching opportunities out there 134 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,720 in a Michigan, Missouri state, in Washington state. But I 135 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,319 imagine like there's if you have a senior analyst role 136 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,199 open and a and a checkbook that's fairly open as well, 137 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:35,480 you could probably pay him now. But I thought he 138 00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:39,720 had a sweetheart deal as an associate ad making him 139 00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:41,879 million dollars a year if he if he stays at 140 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:43,199 the University of you thought. 141 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 5: He can. 142 00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:47,879 Speaker 4: I think it's a two or three year deal where 143 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,959 he can be like a special advisor to the athletic department, 144 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,399 that little golden parachute type job. 145 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 5: But I don't think. 146 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,439 Speaker 4: I don't think that that's the type of thing that 147 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000 interests Whittingham to a great deal, you know what I mean, 148 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,879 Because what is he dealing with in that he's shaking 149 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,160 hands and kissing babies and now he's talking to private 150 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,519 equity people potentially. I mean, it's just like this man 151 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,600 is either going to be coaching football or he's going 152 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:17,879 to be skiing, golfing and hanging out with his grandkids. 153 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,199 I imagine they'll pull him out of the bullpen for 154 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,160 big time Crimson Club events whenever he gets bored. But 155 00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:29,079 that advisory role, to me was always written as something 156 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040 that's like not a particularly like day to day type gig, 157 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,439 So I don't know what it's actually going to be. 158 00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:37,000 But again, Kyle Whittingham is not the type of dude 159 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,439 that is going to be wanting to sit at a desk, 160 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,600 you know, and putting a tie on every day, So 161 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:43,000 I don't know. 162 00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, the real o c Shot o'condle here on ESPN 163 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,959 the Fan. How would you describe the last few years 164 00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:55,000 under Kyle And do you think it was the right 165 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,720 time for him to step down or do you think 166 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,399 there were still some Jews left? 167 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,839 Speaker 4: Well, I think there is juice left. But I think 168 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,720 that the right thing to do in any sports capacity 169 00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:08,839 is to be done with the sport before the sport 170 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,480 is done with you. And I think that Kyle Whittingham 171 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,759 is acknowledging that, you know, he has been grudgingly accepted 172 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:19,279 the changes and adapted to the changes in college football. 173 00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:23,240 He has begrudgingly participated in the recruit your own players 174 00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,079 every three months and make sure you pay these kids 175 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,480 sometimes way more than their worth with nil stuff, and 176 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,759 he's adapted as much as an old dog can learn 177 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,840 those new tricks. I think he deserves a lot of 178 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,480 respect for the way that he has adapted when some 179 00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:40,120 of his peers, at least age wise and experience wise, 180 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,039 were less able or not able to do. But again, 181 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,600 this is a guy that is just you know, he's 182 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:52,240 in the twilight years of a professional career, much less 183 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,159 a football coaching career, and for him to walk away 184 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,320 at this time where he finished on a ten win season, yes. 185 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 5: Just short of those stated goals that he talked about. 186 00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 4: With you know, college football playoff invitation Big twelve championship. 187 00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:09,919 I think that would have made him the only Division 188 00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,039 one coach to win conference championships in three different conferences. 189 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,960 If he had been able to pull that off, all 190 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,360 that would have been really really great to see him, 191 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:19,519 to see him do. But it feels like the right 192 00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:22,440 time for him to step away because you know, Morgan 193 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:24,720 is ready to take over. And Morgan is a guy 194 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,960 that he helped mold and I mean he coached as 195 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,679 a player, as you're well aware, and has helped mold 196 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,080 who Morgan is as a coach. And I think that 197 00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:36,679 Kyle Whittingham he always said he wants to be not 198 00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:38,840 just the coach but also the steward of this program. 199 00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:40,799 He wants to leave it in good hands. He wants 200 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,639 to know when the right time to walk away is. 201 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,799 And you know, Morgan might not be waiting patiently for 202 00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:48,679 another season or two, and maybe he would take an 203 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,240 opportunity in order to get out from under the shadow 204 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,399 or get out from under that Kylewoodyham umbrella. And I 205 00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:56,559 think that all plays into it, and Coach Wit realizes 206 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,399 that this is the time, so, you know, go out 207 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,639 on a high note if he can. And ten and 208 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,639 two is a high note. It's not quite as high 209 00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,200 a note as some of us hope for this year, 210 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,399 but it's the hell of the season. 211 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,919 Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, what other dominoes could fall 212 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,039 between the two schools with this move? 213 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,039 Speaker 2: Do you think any other dominoes could fall? 214 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,279 Speaker 3: I does j Hill get a call from Morgan Scaley 215 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600 say hey, you want to be assistant head coach and 216 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,879 the DC as I move up to the head coaching world. 217 00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: Do you think that's a possibility. 218 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: I think it's a strong possibility. I think it's a 219 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,600 conversation that you know, should at least be entertained on 220 00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:31,360 both sides. I don't know that Jay would be willing 221 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:33,559 to do that. I don't know that Morgan would be 222 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,519 willing to go back to Jay instead of you know, 223 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,679 promoting a Colton Swan or Sharif Shaw or Lewis Powell 224 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,759 or the guys that have you know, stayed at Utah 225 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,200 and been a huge part of his own success, of 226 00:10:44,279 --> 00:10:45,279 Morgan's own success. 227 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,039 Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, why wouldn't he go to J Hill. 228 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: J is one of the best assistant coaches in the 229 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,720 country period. So there's also, you know, the possibility of 230 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:01,279 Gary Anderson. Gary Anderson was the defensive coordinator, a position coach. 231 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,840 I guess he was the d line coach when Morgan 232 00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:04,519 was there, and then he was the defensive coordinator who 233 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000 took over right after Morgan left, and so he coached 234 00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:11,559 again under Gary when he was just a grad assistant 235 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,440 in climbing the ladder. 236 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 5: So they've got a great relationship. 237 00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if Morgan is calling a couple 238 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,200 of different guys that are on that YU staff and saying, hey, 239 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,039 is there any interest in you coming back? Because I 240 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,879 assume that there's going to be some shuffling of the deck. 241 00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:31,279 When the defensive coordinator moves up, one of his position 242 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,039 coaches probably becomes a decordinator or Jay becomes a defensive coordinator, 243 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,879 and that's going to change some things. Also, who knows 244 00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:42,039 if BYU is calling Jason Beck or anyone who is 245 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,480 involved in Utah's offensive success this year. So as as 246 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,799 always the case with these two programs, it goes both ways. 247 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's competitive comparative enmity here the private equity deal. 248 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600 I haven't been able to tune into your show, but 249 00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:59,879 I imagine you've delved deep into this. Your reaction, You're 250 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,480 thoughts the positive and the potential negative here from your perspective, Well. 251 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: The positive is that you presumably have an influx of 252 00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:12,200 funds that help you to stay competitive with schools in 253 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,440 your own conference and beyond, especially in the Western United 254 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,679 States where a lot of your recruiting footprint is where 255 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,279 you know you can offer the same kind of things 256 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:23,279 that Oregon and USC and Texas Tech and b YU 257 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,720 are offering to recruits and to assistant coaches and to 258 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,320 families that want to be part of your department or whatever. 259 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,679 So that's that's the positive. That's the obvious positive and 260 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,039 the pretty obvious negative is that now you've you've partnered 261 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,639 with an industry that is notoriously soulless and sucks the 262 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,159 life out of a lot of the things that they 263 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,759 end up partnering with because all they care about is 264 00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:48,840 the almighty dollar. Now, that's far from ideal from a 265 00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:52,720 sports fan perspective, but it's the reality of where college 266 00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:56,639 sports have headed, and it does provide some exciting, you know, 267 00:12:56,759 --> 00:13:00,440 new possibilities in the realm of you know, setting president 268 00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,120 for the rest of college football and for the rest 269 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:07,080 of college athletics where maybe maybe it is time to 270 00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:12,519 invite return on investment type partners into your athletic department. 271 00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:14,679 I don't know how it's going to work out. I've 272 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,159 talked about this, you know, every which way I can 273 00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:20,279 possibly imagine, and I can see it going both ways. 274 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,720 Massive risk, massive reward, and UTAH was the first one 275 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:25,320 to take the lead. 276 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,799 Speaker 3: Sean best way to support you what you do, how 277 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,720 you do it.

Was 379 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,839 like the coach against him. 380 00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 2: It was not easy. 381 00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 7: It was not I mean, obviously I knew a lot 382 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,599 about him and his game, and I think I after 383 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,599 one of the games, I kind of made the LBS connection, 384 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,319 which was cool. But yeah, man, super hard got to 385 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,000 game plan four and uh, it was just kind of 386 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,400 a full circle deal. Honestly, the fact that you know 387 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,160 we were had been here at the same time and 388 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,119 now competing against each other all the way out there. 389 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,599 Speaker 8: Yeah, when do you first recall crossing paths with him 390 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,400 and making a connection. 391 00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:34,559 Speaker 9: Yeah, the Delaware the Delaware connection was the first time. 392 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,079 And we played, like I said, we played a lot 393 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,079 against each other. And he told me that afterwards, like 394 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,279 that's that's incredible to know. I didn't realize that in first. 395 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,720 But the Delaware the opposing locker room, I think is 396 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,519 the smallest room of all time in any arena that 397 00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,920 thin there was like three feet and we were all 398 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,599 setting there and we played a ton but that was 399 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,319 a really fun connection.

We know 461 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,279 Trevin Nell is on the three v three team on 462 00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:58,119 the squad as well. So Jimmer on the Kevin Young 463 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,759 Coaches Show with Gregor bel speak thinking about his experience 464 00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:04,359 with three or three basketball and now in the administrative role. 465 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, I really did I mean it happened right after 466 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,599 COVID I was with I was in China, still played 467 00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:15,359 with the Sharks, but during that time I was during COVID, 468 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,400 so I didn't get to come back home where my 469 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,160 family didn't come over. It was like seven months I 470 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,279 didn't see anybody. Then we're in a hotel room. It 471 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,480 was really difficult, and at that point I was like, 472 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,279 all right, I'm kind of done with five or five 473 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,559 basketball at this point, I'm just burnt out. And then 474 00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:31,079 about I took some time off, and maybe like five 475 00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:33,720 six months later, Franfriscilla came and was like, hey, we 476 00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:35,799 have three or three basketball for USA. Would you be 477 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,839 interested in helping us, you know, go to the Olympics 478 00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:42,680 and possibly play for the Olympic team. And I was like, 479 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,160 that's that's an amazing opportunity. Let me go ask my 480 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,599 wife and see if that's okay because there's a lot 481 00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:50,240 of travel involved. And then she was like, hey, well 482 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,960 you know where's the twenty twenty four Olympics and they're like, 483 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,759 well it's in Paris. She's like, all right, you're going. 484 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,000 It's going to be an expensive trip for you. So 485 00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,200 I was like, let's do it. Once she was all in, 486 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,880 I was all in, and I actually had some some 487 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,640 of the most fun I ever had playing basketball the 488 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,200 last couple of years because it was just for fun 489 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,559 and it was just like playing outside with your friends 490 00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:11,000 and just competing and having a great time. 491 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 5: So it's been good. 492 00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:14,319 Speaker 8: And then the call comes to pick the next generation 493 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:14,720 of players. 494 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:15,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty cool. 495 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,079 Speaker 9: Absolutely, absolutely an honor to be a part of USA 496 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,240 basketball in any capacity. So to be able to do that, 497 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,119 you know, on AJ has been a part of USA 498 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,039 Basketball for a long time. It's an incredible run with them, 499 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,480 so it's just to be a part of it any 500 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:28,480 capacity is amazing. 501 00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:32,519 Speaker 3: There you go, that's Jimmer for debt, nothing but debt, 502 00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:34,880 Ronald the three man weave or your thoughts, your comment chair, 503 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,599 what do you make of that cougar byte? 504 00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's this is an important note Ben, 505 00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:42,200 having someone that has connections and ties as well as 506 00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:44,200 Kevin Young. But this changes I think the landscape for 507 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,119 the future of BOU basketball having Jimmer on three on three, 508 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,759 like we had Trevonilla on the show. You know, we've 509 00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,640 interviewed Trevin Brett, interviewed him, I did you and he 510 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,799 talked about this connection of Jimmer was reached out of like, hey, 511 00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:58,680 I'm trying to play basketball, but maybe not competitive five 512 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,319 on five and Bo oversees that much and three on 513 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,119 three did that, Like Trevor was in the same position 514 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,240 being well, does he leave his family? Does he leave 515 00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:07,839 his wife? All of that And this opportunity came because 516 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,759 Jimmer is on the administrative team, you know, on the staff, 517 00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:13,599 So that goes so the connections that you have help 518 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,119 and it opens up even you know, the international pool, 519 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,920 I think even better for by you like how many 520 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,440 former Cougar has been along with Jimmer had been in practice, 521 00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:24,160 you know, and maybe not Jimmer specifically, but Brandon Davies 522 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,880 was there, Zach Sellias. So there's a lot of connections 523 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,079 now of guys when they're in the offseason or back 524 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,680 that Kevin Young is now mixing that they're adding into 525 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,880 this and opportunity. So the connection now with USAA basketball, 526 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,720 like Jim already said, with AJ and Trevin, I think 527 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,319 you're gonna see more BYU basketball players have opportunities to 528 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,039 play overseas or play in the USA Basketball, you know, 529 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,160 represent the United States because of Jim er So I 530 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,839 think that's great and that he is now in that 531 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,079 administrative role. Never thought he would be there. Ben thought 532 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:55,039 he would just retire from basketball, maybe coach one day 533 00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:57,720 down the road.

Typically if you 688 00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:36,400 look at the historical record and look who you're playing against, 689 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,799 So a lot of times when Bway loses games, it's 690 00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:40,880 because you're going against a G six G five team 691 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,880 that has ten plus victories or a P four team 692 00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:47,799 that's in that seven eight to nine win territory. And 693 00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:50,759 this year you're going against a nine win Georgia Tech 694 00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:54,559 team nine to three Top twenty five. Very few occasions 695 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,880 in which you've played a ranked team in bowl games, 696 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,480 and when you do that, it's hard to get wins. 697 00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:04,680 Hard to get wins. You did it in seven, sorry, 698 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,680 you did it in uh sorry nine against Oregon State, 699 00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:09,960 but it doesn't always happen. 700 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,039 Speaker 2: You did it in ninety six versus Kansas State. 701 00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:17,319 Speaker 3: That was a ranked win, but it's tough, tough to 702 00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:23,960 get those dubs. So it's gonna impact the final outlook 703 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,799 of this team. Right now, you're twelfth. If you win, 704 00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:32,480 you're probably moving up. That would put you, let's say 705 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,000 number four all time. It'd be the fourth best season 706 00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:40,359 per the Ape Pole, because I don't see them jumping 707 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,039 up to number seven, but you could move up right 708 00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:46,079 with a win over the top twenty five team. Let's 709 00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:50,079 say you get to eleven. Okay, that would be fourth 710 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,680 best all time. Okay, then you couple in Texas Tech. 711 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,400 Where does Texas Tech end up? If they if they 712 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,680 end up losing in that quarter five game, that may 713 00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:03,599 impact you a little bit. If they end up winning 714 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,800 the Natty, then all of a sudden, right then, all 715 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,079 of a sudden, you're like, well, man, this may be 716 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,719 the second best or third best team all time in 717 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,920 BYA football history. You're competing then with who the nineteen 718 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,599 ninety sixteen, the nineteen ninety sixteen that ended up top five. 719 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,199 You get far away enough from nineteen eighty three and 720 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,480 you're like, well, maybe it's better than that eighty three team. 721 00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:31,639 Speaker 2: Anyway, I think. 722 00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 3: Those two factors are you going to factor in how 723 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,360 this team is viewed. But right now it's trending towards 724 00:34:38,039 --> 00:34:41,239 top five all time in BYU football history. Ronald the 725 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,760 three man Weaver, how do you see it? 726 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? 727 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,559 Speaker 6: Then I look at this, I think this is definitely 728 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:49,280 a top five season in BA foot bus three. People 729 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,679 can say top seven, argue that no doubt about it's 730 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,320 top ten. But look, I think you can move up 731 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,760 in the top five, especially because you just hit the 732 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,000 nail on the coffin. If Texas Tech wins the National Championship, 733 00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,079 if I believe that they will, that is a national 734 00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:04,920 championship defense with the way that they play and how 735 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,039 aggressive and how disciplined they are. And Joey Maguire is 736 00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:11,360 a good coach. Look if the Red Raiders do that, Ben, 737 00:35:11,559 --> 00:35:14,920 you lost to the National Championship you know team twice 738 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,039 in that season. Those are your only losses. You beat 739 00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:18,920 a top twenty five Georgia Tech team, you beat a 740 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,840 top twenty five what is a Utah team? And then 741 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,760 how many other teams did you beat? The are Bowl eligible? 742 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,480 How many other teams did you beat? Per ESPN plus 743 00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:29,519 are you know the you know ESPN FPI, they were 744 00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:31,719 in the top fifty, top you know eighty, top one hundred. 745 00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:33,360 All of that has to go in the f to 746 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,000 couple into nothing against those back in the nineties. But 747 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,760 the athleticism and the talent is way different now been Like, 748 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,719 guys are way more skilled and way more athletic than 749 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,039 probably what was maybe back in the day, things are different. 750 00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:47,400 To keep your body right, there's a lot more things 751 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,920 that are hard on your body. Not granted they didn't 752 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,599 have the modern medicine and the recovery process that these 753 00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:53,840 athletes have, but I think that's what it will couple 754 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,199 down to. If Texas Tech were to win. But two 755 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,400 things have to happen. Texas Tech has to be in 756 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,280 the National Championship and or win it, and BOU has 757 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,000 to win the Pop Tarts Bowl. They can't lose the 758 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,119 Pop Tars Bowl. Ben and the Red Raiders get the 759 00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:07,880 National Championship. Because you and I both say this all 760 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,159 the time, fans listening, I'll probably get a text mess 761 00:36:10,199 --> 00:36:11,719 to someone will talk to me about in person because 762 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,800 I always tell people they don't like something I say, 763 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719 have a conversation with me. If BAU loses to the 764 00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:18,800 to Georgia Tech and a Pop Tarts Bowl, there would 765 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,480 be people that will come for the typical the play 766 00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:23,440 calling almost terrible old this get rid of this, but 767 00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:25,840 like that that's gonna happen, right And if you say no, 768 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,719 I'm not that type of fan, you're lying. You need 769 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,559 to be honest with your fellow men's Ben always says, 770 00:36:29,559 --> 00:36:32,519 here's why. Remember the Jaron Hall game. You're a way 771 00:36:32,559 --> 00:36:34,000 he didn't play it in the bowl game against you 772 00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:35,679 A b remember that with Tyle out here and it 773 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,599 was gonna Romney out there, you know, and Baylor Rock. 774 00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:41,599 Remember that, and everyone said this season is a failure. 775 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,760 It's like, well, ten win season is a good season. No, 776 00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:47,360 it was not good. Like that's how fans like you, say, 777 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,800 Ben react, so b A, you were not to win 778 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,159 the Pop Tarts Bowl and Texas Tech went on. I 779 00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:54,800 think that and not even Texas Tech necessarily win the 780 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,440 national Championship. I think that's a caveat Ben. I think 781 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,320 that's extra Ba. You must win the Pop Tarts for 782 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,079 fans to have to feel solidified deep in their loins, 783 00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:06,119 their heart, for them to be satisfied after Christmas and 784 00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:08,960 going to the New year, going to springball happy beIN by. 785 00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:11,840 You must defeat Georgia Tech first and then the Red 786 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,360 Raiders do whatever they want second. Because if there's a loss, Bin, 787 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,800 there's going to be uproaring. You and I both know it. 788 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 3: This is one of the best seasons in BYU football history. 789 00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:24,239 I hope BYU fans recognizing it are grateful for it, 790 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,039 because it's trending to be a top five all time 791 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,760 season and maybe even better than that. Tis the season 792 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,320 to be grateful, to the season to be giving.
