We heard that there was 57 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,439 a little taste test situation going on with deep fried 58 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,360 poptarts and all kinds of other crazy stuff, and as 59 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,479 someone who was not there, I need you to tell 60 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,960 me how unreal that experience was and how many different 61 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,080 types of pop tarts you had. 62 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:40,879 Speaker 4: I'm gonna beleave the fifth on this question for the 63 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:43,919 most part, but I will tell you this, Brett, how 64 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,120 many types of pop tarts that I have? The answer 65 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,960 is way too many, way too many for those who 66 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,240 For those who know me, they know I do live 67 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,719 a gluten free lifestyle. I was diagnosed with a gluten 68 00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:58,759 allergy several years ago. Life changing, game changing and everything 69 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,759 of the world, but being gluten free might be the 70 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,400 worst thing possible for a bowl game sponsored by the great, 71 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280 the one, the only, uh are gods of the college 72 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,879 football world, the pop Tarts. So yes, I did indulge, 73 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,080 and no, I will not be commenting further on what 74 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,159 happened after I did indulge. 75 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: I won't comment either. 76 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: I know what happened with those I can confirm there's 77 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,599 a source close to the program that told me that 78 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Sean Walker did divulge in one deep fried pop tart. 79 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 4: The deep the deep fried pop Tarts. Though, if you, 80 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,319 if you get an opportunity, do it, do it. Don't 81 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,159 even think about it, just go uh do it. I'm 82 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:41,080 actually a little bit jealous of the Michigan and the 83 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280 Texas reporters this week because the Pop Tarts Bowl and 84 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:47,400 the Citrus Bowl, excuse me, the cheese at Citrus Bowl. 85 00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:49,960 They have the same management right now, so that's going 86 00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:54,800 on tomorrow, and apparently at the Citrus Bowl you can 87 00:03:54,919 --> 00:04:00,240 get a cheese it breaded turkey lake, so a turkey 88 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,599 branded in cheese its. And again, that sounds very painful 89 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:08,199 to somebody like me who's supposed to be blue and free, 90 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:12,319 who had the bluen allergy, but that also sound I'm 91 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,199 just gonna use two words to describe that worth it. Absolutely. 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:17,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. 93 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,639 Speaker 1: What I want to know is like, how special were 94 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,560 these deep fried pop starts? Like, if I have a 95 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,920 deep friar at home? Am I able as the layman 96 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,560 that I am? 97 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:27,759 Speaker 4: Like? 98 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: Could I reh reinvent those? 99 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:32,199 Speaker 2: Could I make one of those at home? 100 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: I'm not entirely certain because they had they actually have, 101 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,319 so the pop arts who actually have and maybe this 102 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160 is a little bit of capitalty journalism, they have specialty 103 00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:47,079 chefs for a lot of their pop tarts bolt specific creations, 104 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,040 so it's more than just deep fried pop tarts. They 105 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,439 also have like a dessert that's basically uh, frosted strawberry 106 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,079 pop tart turned into uh, I guess it's a parfait 107 00:04:57,639 --> 00:04:59,600 kind of a thing. It's it's like a dessert with 108 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:01,800 a it's got like a gelato on the bottom and 109 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:04,480 then the frosted strawberry cream on top and all that 110 00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:09,360 also very good, significantly less gluten So that was probably 111 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:12,759 my favorite one. But they have, like they have like 112 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800 specialty chefs for all of these things. So could you 113 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,639 defry a pop tart at home? Yeah, would it be 114 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,639 the same. I don't know. I don't know how good 115 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:26,040 a deeper Maybe you're maybe you're a professional deep fryer. Brett. 116 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:28,600 I'm not going to hold you back, so I would 117 00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:32,439 say go for it, question Mark. But I would definitely 118 00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:33,240 like to compare the two. 119 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: Well, my my in laws gave me a deep fryer 120 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,959 for Christmas. Let's see how many days ago, five or 121 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,360 six days ago, So that'll tell you. 122 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,439 Speaker 2: How much of an expert I am. 123 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: But I just saw something like that, and I'm like, 124 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,319 that is so disappointing that that that I can't partake 125 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,120 and I can't dry. So I'm glad to know that that, 126 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,079 despite things trying to hold you back, Sean, you still 127 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,959 did journalism to the best of your simple ability by 128 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,600 partaking in hop Tarts. 129 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: We will we want you to know. 130 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,439 Speaker 4: All in the name of good journalism. 131 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: Speaking of good journalism, you did some good journalism. Wonderful 132 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,800 piece at you, Pindo kissl dot com. B Yu gets 133 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240 that twelfth win shot of the season in the Pop 134 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,680 Tarts Bowl. First time It's happens to two thousand and one. 135 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,240 What does the what momentums b are you taking into 136 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,560 spring ball? With that twelfth win, especially with all the 137 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,680 chaos right now going on at b YU with coaches, 138 00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:29,759 coaches may be making moves for their future. 139 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think in the agent the transfer portal, 140 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:37,040 I think year to year momentum is a little bit 141 00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:40,839 of a misnomer nowadays because rosters changed for the transfer 142 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,160 portal coaching rosters change so much during the carousel season. 143 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,319 We'll get into that a little bit. And I don't 144 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,279 expect this roster at BUYU this past fall to be 145 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,519 to be the same next year as it was this year. 146 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,560 I think retention is going to be at a premium. 147 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:00,959 I do think they'll retain some players. I also think 148 00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:02,839 they're gonna lose some players. They've already got about five 149 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,639 or six that are in the transfer portal right now, 150 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,199 and I think more probably the follow cover your ears, 151 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:10,600 Cougar fans if you don't want to hear that, But 152 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,319 that's just the reality of modern college football. The transfer 153 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,639 portal giveth and the transfer portal also take it away, 154 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,480 right So if you want to go and kind of 155 00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:21,360 stock up and and figure out new additions to your roster, 156 00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:23,399 you've got to be willing to maybe lose a piece 157 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,360 or two in order to kind of give that away. 158 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:29,279 There is no active trade market like in the NFL, 159 00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:32,199 so the transfer portal kind of serves as that mechanism 160 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:35,959 in addition to to college football's own version of free agency. 161 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:39,120 But as far as momentum goes, I think what Kline 162 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,399 Sataki and his team did this season will give it 163 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:45,600 as much momentum as you can probably as you can 164 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,399 possibly have in this sport nationally, maybe short of you know, 165 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,480 whichever one of the teams the quarterfinals start tomorrow, so 166 00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:55,480 which every one of those teams goes on and wins 167 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,600 the college with the twenteen College football playoffs. You you know, 168 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,639 it was a out a month ago that BYU was 169 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,839 on the precipice of losing its head coach and Kline 170 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,560 Sataki reportedly working on a deal to go to Penn 171 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,160 State for an eight figure salary. BYU and its donors 172 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,319 and administrators and even just average everyday fans and several 173 00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,959 of the players that kind of rallied and they kept Sataki, 174 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,560 and that decision, I think is going to give this 175 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,920 team as much momentum as you can possibly get because 176 00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:30,240 there are going to be players that stay at BYU 177 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,519 hoping to build off of what they were able to 178 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,960 do this past season twelve and two. Overall, they only 179 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,600 lost one team this year they lost lost Tech Tech twice. Right, 180 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:42,919 it's the most wins in a single season since two 181 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,000 thousand and one, only the fifth or sixth time in 182 00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:49,679 program history that BYU's reached that twelve win plateau. And 183 00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,840 there are players that want more, and they want to 184 00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,679 come back, and they want to do more at BUYU. 185 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,080 We saw almost immediately after the bull get that tree. 186 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,279 Alexander is coming back. I believe. I believe The caption 187 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200 on this Instagram post was was it said somebody to 188 00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:07,080 the effect of committed to bring up Young University. So 189 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:09,200 he's trading it for the long haul. You know, he's 190 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,679 not just following a coach or playing for a coach. 191 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,759 He wants to be at YU. Specifically, Kanu Tonavasa sounded 192 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,000 pretty sure of himself. I don't want to take away 193 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000 too much thunder from him, but he's not pretty sure 194 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,919 of himself. But Kianu Tonavasa wanted to come back for 195 00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:27,159 another year. I'd be surprised if bart Bachmeier left barring 196 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,200 you know, something unforeseen that we haven't seen, right, now 197 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,399 and when you're able to build off of what that 198 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,679 true freshman starting quarterback did. I think that'll help. I 199 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,639 think some offensive linemen are going to return. Obviously they've 200 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:42,120 got some holes to fill there, especially in the interior 201 00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:44,879 with departures of guys like Wale and Lapojo. I think 202 00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:49,679 that will be significant. I say Jada as well. These 203 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,279 are all just players that are that are out of 204 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,519 the eligibility. But I think when you're looking at momentum, 205 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,440 it's very hard to get that year to a year 206 00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,639 in the modern era of college football. And BYU is 207 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,679 doing as good of a job as anybody can in 208 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,039 building off of itself year over year over year, and 209 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,840 I expect that to continue, mostly because the headman, Klaie Sataki, 210 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,240 is in charge for the long term, foreseeable future. 211 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: Do you feel like BYU is maybe disadvantage is the 212 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,919 wrong word, but they're in talks. I mean, we know 213 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000 the Jay Hill rumors going around, other coaching rumors going around. 214 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,799 Do you see that affecting BYUS capability to pull in 215 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,960 high level talent with the transfer portal window about to open. 216 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, as long as there are question marks, I think 217 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,279 it will affect BYU's capability. But again, remember the transfer 218 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,159 portal give it and the transfer port will also take 219 00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:53,159 it away. There are players on other teams that are 220 00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:56,200 gonna want to play at BYU for whatever connection that is. 221 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,559 Maybe that's somebody that they missed out the first time 222 00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,440 out of high school in the recruiting game. Maybe it's 223 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,840 somebody that they missed out even one or two times 224 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,000 in the transfer portal already that are pop it back 225 00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:08,080 up into the portal. Maybe that's somebody that we're not 226 00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:10,200 even thinking of right now, Like they are going to 227 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,799 be players that want to play at BYU. So I 228 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,279 think there are a lot of question marks right now 229 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:18,840 just because we don't know what they's coordinator situation is 230 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:21,360 going to look at at the moment. But I also 231 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:27,120 expect those question marks to if they don't fully solve themselves, 232 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,320 will be a peer picture will be a lot clearer 233 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,039 by the time that portal window opens on January second. 234 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,480 Remember this is the only transfer portal window that college 235 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,279 football will have this year. It's one fifteen day windows 236 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,759 starting January second. There is no post spring window. That's 237 00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:47,679 that's a new thing. As voted on by I think 238 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,919 by the Football oversight Committee and one of those five 239 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,360 hundred thousand roughly committees that governs NCAA Division one football, 240 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,519 So this will be the only one. And that's why 241 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,759 you're seeing the coaching carousel market kind of expedite itself 242 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,480 to the point where, you know, we're on the precipice 243 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,759 of the college football playoff quarterfinals and there are currently 244 00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:14,679 at the moment, I believe there is not a single 245 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,720 head coach opening in all of Division one FBS football. 246 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,039 I mean, that's absolutely remarkable for right now. But because 247 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,919 so many universities kind of win the overdrive during the 248 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,360 season and then immediately following the end of the regular 249 00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:29,440 season to where they want to have somebody in place 250 00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,159 right away. Now, does that mean there won't be more 251 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,600 changes in the go to market. Absolutely not. I even 252 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:36,559 think we're probably going to see, if nothing else, at 253 00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:39,399 least one or two more head coaching changes, probably somebody 254 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:43,000 that winds up leaving January February. Maybe the NFL goes 255 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,279 and pulls somebody from the college ranks up to the NFL, 256 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,960 and then that sets off kind of a mini coaching carouself, 257 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,039 if you will. But I do think the by is 258 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,559 going to have a much clearer picture in the next 259 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,720 forty eight or seventy two hours, by the time that 260 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,960 January second window opens, just like everybody else, because that's 261 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,679 when you really have to get going on this new 262 00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:03,639 version of free agency. 263 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: This is kind of a speculative question, but I I 264 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,240 just I'm just thinking out loud here. I'm curious to 265 00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,559 know what that portal is gonna look like, Sean, Like, 266 00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:15,759 are we gonna have like are we gonna see just 267 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,080 a flood of people committing on Friday? 268 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: Or do you think what's more likely is. 269 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: That we get till that last day because everybody is 270 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,960 gonna wait until those final offers come in, and so 271 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,159 we're really not going to get answers from most people 272 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:31,720 until the end of that portal. 273 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 4: Brett Hammer, are you implying that there may be college 274 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,840 football programs and coaches who have been contacting players before 275 00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:42,600 the official opening of the transfer pot. 276 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,519 Speaker 1: I would never assume anyone in college football would do 277 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,879 anything underhanded like that, Sean, especially not the SEC. 278 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: There's there's a word. There's a word for that. It 279 00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:57,159 starts with the key is that it's tambourine, camberine, temptation, temptation. Yeah, 280 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,120 I can't remember the exact word. Yeah, temptation, maybe it's 281 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,759 probably temptation. 282 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: Tempting. 283 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,519 Speaker 4: No, we all know how we all know how the 284 00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:08,559 system works. Right, Guys, there are guys that are in 285 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,000 the portal or that are excuse me, intending to go 286 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,279 into the transfer portal, let me get my nomenclature right 287 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,919 at this very moment, that are also entering the portal 288 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,240 with a little thing called the DNC. I do not 289 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,639 contact TACK. So they have a pretty good idea of 290 00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:26,679 where they want to go, whether that's for nefarious reasons 291 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,000 or just simply that you know, they there's one place, 292 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,559 that one or two places that they want to go to, 293 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,720 and they want to be in charge of kind of 294 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,519 making those conducts themselves. I'm not really here to say 295 00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:39,720 I think it probably works both plays, but but I 296 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,679 would tend to agree with your first point, Brett, that 297 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,559 I think the majority of this transfer portal window action 298 00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:48,559 is probably I don't know if that happens in the 299 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:50,960 first hour or two that the portal is open, but 300 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,919 in the first day or two I could see the majority, 301 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,960 certainly more than fifty percent of transfers starting to take place. 302 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,919 Because you do have this little thing, and I'm gonna 303 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,279 say a piece that I know college football fans don't 304 00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:06,480 like talking about little much, but there is still a 305 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:12,399 college part of college football, and most universities in this 306 00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:17,759 country are on the semester system, where these football players 307 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:21,480 do also have to enroll in their new college buy 308 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:26,159 or around the start of their new college semester. So 309 00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:32,159 like yes, there are quarter systems, there are late semester 310 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,519 starts at a handful of universities in the country, but 311 00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:36,600 for the most part, we are also still working on 312 00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:40,240 an academic calendar, and so I think there is there 313 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,799 are legitimate but legitimate and maybe slightly less legitimate reasons 314 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,279 for the portal comaginations to be wrapped up earlier rather 315 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,600 than later in that cycle. And I think that's also 316 00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:54,720 another part of the reason why coaches are so adamant 317 00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,639 that they only work in one transfer portal window per year. 318 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,279 That doesn't be players won't be able to transfer afterwards. 319 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,639 There are always ways around it. Look at how Jake 320 00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:09,159 Retzov moved from DYU to Tulaine last summer. I mean 321 00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:12,039 that didn't above a transfer portal window or technically a 322 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,039 transfer at all, So there are still ways around it. 323 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,159 But I do think that kind of like signing periods, 324 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,360 and we just saw with the early signing period, I 325 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,840 think the bulk of those transactions will be accomplished within 326 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,200 the first day or two, and then you know, maybe 327 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,960 a couple of big names will kind of trickle through 328 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,399 the rest of that fifteen day window and you'll see 329 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,759 sort of the trickle down effect from some of those transfers. 330 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:41,720 But I think you'll probably see a pretty big rush 331 00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:44,480 early rather than later. For sure, you'll. 332 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 3: Definitely see it sooner rather than later. I definitely agree, Sean, 333 00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:50,480 let's go this whole portal talk coach. It changes all 334 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,639 of that could happen. I need to know who are 335 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,720 the candidates to replace ja Hill if he does decide 336 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,679 to even go to Michigan, And obviously I know those 337 00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:01,200 candidates could change it depending if he takes personnel staff 338 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,320 with him. He's totally allowed to take whoever you want. 339 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,680 That's how it goes in the nature of college athletics 340 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,519 and coaching carousales. But please tell the listeners who are 341 00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:10,880 the candidates, because I don't know if people really know 342 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,319 who's going to replace him. I think people just think 343 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,039 it could be internally, but I've also maybe hurt externally 344 00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:18,839 as possible as well. 345 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the number one candidate to be BYU's 346 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,519 defensive coordinator right now, because nothing is official, nothing has 347 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,160 been formally pushed over the line, it's still J Hill. 348 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,640 I think BYU wants to keep J Hill. They want 349 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,039 to do everything they possibly can to retain J Hill. 350 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,000 And the fact that this thing isn't finalized and inked 351 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,279 and the press release isn't dry if you will, I 352 00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:44,359 think that means that the YU is still trying to 353 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,000 do everything possible to retain Jay Hill. So we need 354 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:51,519 to start there. But obviously there are reports, there are rumors, 355 00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:54,400 there are some anonymous sources that are floating out there. 356 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,960 I've been able to confirm a couple that there are 357 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,920 legitimate talks between Jay Hill and Michigan, and it seems 358 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,119 like things are trending in that direction for Jay to 359 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,640 follow his former defensive coordinator Kyle Whittingham to Ann Arbor. 360 00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:12,160 So in that case, I think you probably stayed within 361 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,880 the within the building. First, the first call, if I 362 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,599 had my brothers about me to be the next defensive 363 00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:23,759 coordinator at b YU would be the Gernaro Guildford. I 364 00:18:23,799 --> 00:18:26,559 think you're here talking about a former byu quarnerback a 365 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:29,759 guy who loves the university. Remember, Gernaro is a guy 366 00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:32,119 who uh he didn't grow up a member of the 367 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,440 l S Church. He he he still he hasn't converted 368 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,839 to the church's Juice Christ of letterte fame, so he's 369 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,119 still a non member of the church. But he also 370 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,119 loves b YU. Him and his wife are raising a 371 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,680 family in Utah County. They really love, uh kind of 372 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,680 the area and the watch front and and and the school. 373 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,079 This is a guy who he he was kicked out 374 00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:00,559 at b YU during his playing days and rather than 375 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,480 leave and go elsewhere it finished his career in another 376 00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:07,240 part of the country. He actually came back and then 377 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,839 came back again during his coaching career on Klanie Sadaki's staff. 378 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,400 So I think a guy like Genero Guildford absolutely deserves 379 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,519 a chance to be a defensive coordinator. He's in Jay 380 00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:22,519 hills right hand man for the past three years. He's 381 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:26,559 been passing game coordinator for the past two years under Satake, 382 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,400 And I think if you want some form of continuity 383 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,480 amid a coordinator change, I think that's probably the looks 384 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,039 there are also a couple of other internal candidates that 385 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,839 may get a look. Gary Anderson comes to mind. He's 386 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:42,279 a defensive guy, and remember it was Gary the klanis 387 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,880 followed from Utah to Oregon State as a defensive coordinator 388 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,119 for a year before he got the BYU jobs, so 389 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,640 the two of them are really close. Questions remain about 390 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,759 whether or not Gary would want that position. He seems 391 00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:56,920 pretty content kind of doing what he's doing. Is sort 392 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,839 of an assistant defensive line coach, defensive specialist. It's a analyst, 393 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,240 and and he likes having a little bit of extra 394 00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:06,319 time to spend with his kids and his grandkids and 395 00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:08,160 and that sort of thing. So there are plenty of 396 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000 questions on both sides around him. But I could see 397 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:13,519 other internal candidates as well, maybe getting a look or 398 00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,599 a snatch. Justin Ena or Fion Pool. I think Uh 399 00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:21,799 definitely stand a chance externally. There are two guys that 400 00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,519 I probably keep a really legitimate eye on. The First 401 00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:29,880 one is Sean Nuall. He's former BYU defensive stand out 402 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,480 currently the linebackers coach at USC. I think he probably 403 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:35,319 deserves at least a call the c if he's interested 404 00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:37,759 in coming home, and maybe running his own defense and 405 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:40,880 working with Kilane. I think Seandaula would be great, and 406 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,559 the other one I mentioned. It would be maybe a 407 00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:47,079 little bit of a step down for him in terms 408 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,039 of title, but you could probably give him a step 409 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,359 up and pay and prestige and everything else. That would 410 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,680 be Utah Tech head coach Lance Anderson Lanz. Anderson developed 411 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,680 just an incredible reputation as one of the best recruiters 412 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,799 on the West Coast when he was at Stanford, spent 413 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,440 a decade with the Cardinal, eventually rose to become the 414 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,640 defensive coordinator under David Shaw there. So he knows how 415 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,880 to run a Power Conference defense. He knows how to 416 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,599 do more with less. Sometimes because of Stanford they're academic restrictions. 417 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,640 He's currently the head coach in Utah, tex So he's 418 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,720 just right down the road right now. He's only been there. 419 00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:23,920 He's just barely wrapped up his second is his second season. 420 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,319 I think the Trailblayers just went two in ten, so 421 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,160 he's still building there. But that may be worth a 422 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,759 phone call as well at somebody who knows how to recruit, 423 00:21:31,839 --> 00:21:33,880 who knows how to run a good defense, and is 424 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,480 certainly used to Power Conference life on the West Coast. 425 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,160 That could maybe be another kind of shoulder for Clonie 426 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,240 Satake to Leon in the coordinator room. 427 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,319 Speaker 1: So I think things did interesting with the guy you 428 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,519 brought up first, with Jennaro Guildford, because if he does 429 00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:54,839 get a call, if Jay decides to go and BYU says, hey, 430 00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:56,640 how you feel about DC? 431 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: What if Jay Hill calls and says, hey. 432 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: You want to come with me to Michigan, and then 433 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,079 Gennaro's in this weird position where he's either taking the 434 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:10,279 title of defensive coordinator at BYU, which is an incredible job, 435 00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:14,839 incredibly or you go with the prestige, the big ten, 436 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,559 the aura that comes with coaching the defense at Michigan 437 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,039 and knowing that the head coach at Michigan is only 438 00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:22,759 going to be there for so much longer. Maybe j 439 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,039 Hill sides into that spot and then maybe Gennaro becomes 440 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,359 the defensive coordinator in Michigan. I think if Gennaro gets 441 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,519 both of those phone calls, he's in a really tough position. 442 00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:39,559 Speaker 4: Sean Yeah said, and then don't doubt the aura of Michigan. 443 00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:41,440 I mean, this is one of the top five jobs 444 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,240 in college football nationally. It's not only a power to 445 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,440 conference member, but it is among the best of the 446 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480 best in terms of branding, in terms of winning capabilities, 447 00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:55,799 I believe it's it's the winningest or second winningest program 448 00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:59,519 in football subdivision history. They've got seven or eight national 449 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,839 champion in ships, some of them disputed, but we don't 450 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,200 need to go into all that with the history of 451 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,799 college football. So but but the brand, the Michigan brand, 452 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,920 is extremely real. There is a reason why Kyle Whittingham 453 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,079 essentially came out of retirement to take that job right 454 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,240 within days of stepping down at Utah. Uh u In 455 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,240 contacted him and he even told us on Sunday. He 456 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:29,000 told reporters that that was probably one of four or 457 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,240 five jobs that he would have considered after stepping down 458 00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:34,960 at Utah. He didn't want to just go anywhere uh 459 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,160 coach just to coach, if you will. He wanted to 460 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960 be very picky. He wanted to be very choosy. Michigan 461 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,759 was certainly on that list. It's on the short list. 462 00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:44,880 It's on a shortlist for a lot of jobs nationally, 463 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,119 and I think there is real power in that brand. 464 00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:51,400 Uh that even a school like BYU and even for 465 00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:56,240 a a former player and now coach like Geronnaro Guildford, 466 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,119 who loves BYU as much as he does, could struggle 467 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,000 to say no to that kind of a job, to 468 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:05,839 that kind of prestige, to that kind of a launching point, 469 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,839 because it's not just you know, maybe putting himself in 470 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,960 line to be a DC or even future head coach 471 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,039 at Michigan. But once you're a position coach and maybe 472 00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:16,680 even he makes a move over with a little bit 473 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,880 of extra pay and and the passing game defense, passing 474 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,079 game coordinator title, that kind of thing. Once you're in 475 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,519 that system, then all of a sudden you're being looked 476 00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:27,279 at for other big ten and SEC jobs when their 477 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,400 openings down the line. For uh, say, I'll use one 478 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,799 of Ron Weaver's favorite teams. For the Illinois of the 479 00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:36,559 world or the Purdues of the world don't go to 480 00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:40,960 produce in general, but those times, yeah, yeah, you know, uh, 481 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,759 you know, the Iowas, the South Carolina is, the maybe 482 00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:47,799 even the Florida states of the world, like they're looking 483 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,000 at guys that are in that Michigan, that Ohio state, 484 00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:56,759 that Alabama type of system, just just because that's where 485 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,039 coaches kind of come up and they breed themselves and 486 00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:03,079 they're they're really proving if they can handle the highest 487 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,240 levels of college football. So I think moving to a 488 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,000 school like Michigan is very good for one's career. And 489 00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:12,720 that's why, Yeah, I do agree with you Brett that 490 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,000 that I think all of these decisions are really really 491 00:25:16,039 --> 00:25:18,480 tough to make, and you can't fully say one way 492 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,160 or the other until he is formally dry on the 493 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,720 press release. 494 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 2: You can't say anything. 495 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,799 Speaker 3: Look, I think the longer it, like you said, Sean, 496 00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:28,400 the next forty eight to seventy two hours, I mean, 497 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,200 that would put us at New Year's Day of the second. 498 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,920 But I mean, if we're talking about after the first 499 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,799 day of the portal January third, BAE Basketball's season opener 500 00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:39,440 against Kansas State, if nothing's finalized by the end of 501 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,359 that game in the day, I mean, look, this can 502 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,119 get done on any day of the week. You'd have 503 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,519 to think the longer this goes on, the more likely 504 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,519 it is that Jay Hill stays. Look, everybody's been been 505 00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:51,200 saying and trying to be funny about it, Shawn, you 506 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,279 and I have discussed it. 507 00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:53,519 Speaker 2: I think we've heard about it. 508 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 3: Fans want Jay Hill to tweet out that Leonardo DiCaprio 509 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,839 mean that he's a he's uh, he's not going somewhere 510 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,119 maybe whatever that is in LDS terms. I don't know 511 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,200 if that's a j Hill type of thing to do, 512 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,200 if that were to be him. Don't watch Look, you 513 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,000 can't swear and watch bad movies until you get back 514 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,319 from your mission, guys. I always say that's that's the rule. 515 00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:15,160 You have to serve the mission first. Deb able to 516 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,799 do that, do not watch that movie where that meme 517 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,279 is from. I watched it the other day because I 518 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:21,680 had never seen it, and oh my goodness, but you 519 00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:24,039 have to have you know, you have to be balanced 520 00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:27,279 in all things. Anyway, The point is, the longer this 521 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,400 goes on, Sean, does that benefit be why you all 522 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:30,960 get you out of here? 523 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: On that? 524 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 4: Uh? I mean, I don't know if it benefits if 525 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,599 it really benefits b YU one way or the other. Like, yeah, 526 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,000 I think they'd probably prefer to have something like this 527 00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:47,079 wrapped up sooner rather than later, and again certainly before 528 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,400 that portal window opens. But I think b Yu's got options. 529 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,279 I think they've got guys. I think they've got places 530 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,160 that they can turn to, even assuming that Jay Hill 531 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,640 moves on takes some Michigan job or or or even 532 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,880 somewhere else. I think Byu has options. I think Kilane's 533 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,799 built up a very strong network that he can kind 534 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:10,599 of tap into and still out his roster and remember 535 00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:12,680 of the defensive side, especially since we're talking about Jay 536 00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:17,920 Hill in particular. Kilane's a defensive coach. Everything that has 537 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,359 happened at BYU defensively has been under his watch. He 538 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,240 takes pride. Yes, I know he's a form of LEU 539 00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:26,559 fall back, but he's been a defensive guy for pretty 540 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,359 much his whole coaching career. He's built systems that are 541 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,440 very successful at Utah, at Oregon State, now at BYU. 542 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,559 The reason why J Hill J Hill was a fantastic coach. 543 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:40,279 I don't want this to sound like I'm denigrating his 544 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,599 role at all, because I think Jay was certainly kind 545 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,119 of the playmaker, the tactician, the mastermind, if you will, 546 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,039 behind the defense for the last three years. But he's 547 00:27:52,079 --> 00:27:55,519 been doing it all within Kilanie's system. And that's why 548 00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,920 I think it was so important that Byu made sure 549 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,119 to hold on to Kilane's stocky about a month to 550 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,640 go for situations like this, so that they can still 551 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,920 have the basic framework in place, you know, so that 552 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,119 so that the house was still standing even if you 553 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,079 know the big chair was coming out of the living 554 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,759 room or the table was being replaced in the dining room, uh, 555 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,279 or you know they had to go and get a 556 00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:20,839 new TV. That house, that's still that basic framework of 557 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,759 the b YU football program is still there. And and 558 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,759 that framework right now is clinic Stocky. 559 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 3: The framework is Kalona Chittaki.
