so I was on the I was on Lane.

Speaker 8: Lookout so that he could be like, oh we're about
to go to the press conference, we can throw to it.
Speaker 7: And somebody that looks like Lane came up. Boy, same build,
and I was like, Matt was like, you go see
if that was him, and I was like, yeah, it's him.
Speaker 8: And then I was like just kidding, I lie.
Speaker 7: And then I didn't have my glasses on so I
couldn't see.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was. Everyone was chatting. He was creuting apparently,
and was a little late.
Speaker 4: Every were kind of chatting, and every the crowd went silent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think as you're talking, kind of like the
same bill, Like Gordon mccerney walked in, went silent.
Speaker 4: And I was like, wow, godfather, gordfather. But yeah, Lane was.
I was sitting there. I was like, is every press
conference like this?
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there. It's like three forty three, forty five,
three fifty comes around. I'm looking around. I'm just sitting there.
Marler's behind me. Obviously he's had his hand up like
forty five minutes trying to get his question in. He
text me he's like Lane kiffing, more like late kiffing.
Speaker 6: He worked on that and then he sweated about sending
it to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, did you hit him with them?
Speaker 3: I gave him.
Speaker 5: I gave him one point in my phone thumb up, Hey,
I saw it, saw it Yeah, good work. That's a
good move when maybe internally laugh Yeah you're not not
a true laugh out loud, but an internal laugh.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: He blew a little air out your nose.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I kind of like nodded my head and like
leaned back a little bit so he could see. Yeah,
I approved. Right. Uh did he ask a question yesterday?
Speaker 3: Oh he did it.
Speaker 7: No, I don't think he did.
Speaker 6: So by that he was kind of like I hear
the questions. I was in the back corner. Yeah, I
couldn't even really see I was.
Speaker 5: I was talking to some of the new coaches. Yeah,
so they were making sure that like the right people,
I think, we're asking questions, Like Bonnett was. There's two guys,
little runners with microphones. He was giving them the and
like they would run up to a guy and they
look back at Bynt and be like yeah, oh they'd
run up together like a Bunett and be like, yeah,
oh my gosh. I would have I would have loved
to see which gladiator you would have got thumbs up,
her thumbs down. Have been like I have to it's
my boy. But oh, dear God, oh God, what is
gonna happen?
Speaker 8: The God, can you imagine being the person that got
a headshake.
Speaker 4: What if what if Marla would have.
Speaker 7: He would have lost his mind. He wanted to ask
about yoga, but Matt was like, no.
Speaker 4: He's got to clear his questions.
Speaker 8: I think he said I'm gonna ask him about yoga,
like jokingly, and I was.
Speaker 4: Like, no, I actually think Lane would appreciated that.
Speaker 7: Did anybody ask him a cool question?
Speaker 4: I was going to ask question the Juice one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was thinking about raising my hand, but it's
kind of getting towards the end, and I was like,
I've made eye contact with Bonnette like multiple times, and like,
maybe Bonnett just sends a microphone over to me. I
was gonna ask him your question. I was going to
ask him, like, you know, what is your relationship with
Juice Kiffin?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Is this like a father son relationship?
Speaker 3: Buddy?
Speaker 4: Like A, I guess it was a buddy relationship.
Speaker 7: I don't even know if they were buddies.
Speaker 4: There's a lot, but there's some nasty rummors flying around. Yeah,
I don't want to believe in those. Well, guess what,
I god know that they're just buddies.
Speaker 5: Because he's been trying to get the tea off the field,
So there's no way he's that's his dog training.
Speaker 6: Greg just came up with a great point, and I
can't believe you let this slip. What he said playing
You could have asked the Varsity Blues question day you fumbled.
Speaker 5: You fumbled. Look, I we already know the answer to this.
He his dad was a head coach. He's got mentors
all over the place that have been instill in football
a long time.
Speaker 4: He spoke about this yesterday. The answer is, yes, he's
seen Varsity Blues. We won't will never know what to
wait till media day, yeah mm hmm.
Speaker 7: Or maybe he'll be willing to come on.
Speaker 5: I guess unlike his potential son in law that was
there hadn't seen it.
Speaker 4: Watch it together. Maybe they'll watch it together for the
first time.
Speaker 7: In front row.
Speaker 5: I think, like, since we're kind of saying everybody was
all dressed with dressed like us.
Speaker 3: Oh did he? I didn't even see dress like.
Speaker 8: I just saw everybody being like the same gay basically
he's one of us.
Speaker 5: They did kind of like walk in like the part
of the the First Family's funny.
Speaker 4: That's funny. But I thought I thought Lane did a
very nice job.
Speaker 5: Daniel said, you should have asked Lane what his favorite
nickname was, like you did, rat.
Speaker 4: But we're gonna get him on the show, so I
want him on the show.
Speaker 5: We got to like ask him these questions people are
tired of hearing, like, you know, how emotional.
Speaker 4: Was it to leave? How heard of a decision was it?
Speaker 5: I got it. It's hard, it's emotional. Like, let's ask
him some different things. Yeah, this show, I'll get this,
But how like, what were the conversations like between coaching
your team? Blah blah blah, got it been done? Next
Varsity Blues ju just Kiffin, Lane Plaine, what do you
That's so true?
Speaker 4: Good point.
Speaker 7: He's already answered all those questions.
Speaker 4: Solid point. Thank you.
Speaker 6: I did think everybody you win the press conference, and
I don't. There's not too many people that have ever
like lost a press conference besides my guy Goose Adam Gase.
Speaker 4: He lost that one, lost that.
Speaker 3: One with the eyes. I don't know.
Speaker 7: Kind of legendary.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean it's legendary. But we're laughing. We're laughing at you,
we're not laughing with But did you really lose? If
you get a laugh, I mean it's it's up for debates. Yeah, okay,
you can lose. Get a laugh.
Speaker 7: You went viral for being lame.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you for being like super cringe opening press conference.
I just love it so much, so good. But like
the SoundBite hits hard, but the video hits.
Speaker 7: Even it's and the hedge like wave. He's like a
little snake with his head.
Speaker 6: But so outside of those and maybe some other ones
we could.
Speaker 7: Find for I mean, family will be infamous.
Speaker 6: Yeah, at least, uh yeah, at least when when Lane
did an accent, he said whose accent he was doing
and set it up?
Speaker 4: I want, I want he didn't have. He had some
good uh some good energy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did about him yesterday, which is uh good
to see some juice back in the building.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had some great interge.
Speaker 5: I thought, like, he's exactly what we kind of talked about.
But I was like, you don't want to polish speaker.
You want a good speaker, but you don't want to
polish speaker unless he's certainly not that right, really good
answer that you don't want that Like, that's you don't
want to polish speaker. As a head coach of a
football team, you want a good speaker, somebody can get
his point across somebody. They can handle the pressure of
being up there on stage and taking all those different
questions and answering hard questions and like answering the question
right without skirting around it and like and that's like
sometime that's.
Speaker 4: Media training one oh one when they when we got trained.
Speaker 5: By Tommy camm here, Like it's like figure out before
the interview what you want to answer and answer that
no matter what question they ask you. Yeah, like that
that's that's skirting and just talking about what you want.
Like Elayne answered all the questions. Yeah, because he knew
he needed to, Like he knew he had to because
it was a tough decision, and like you could you
could you could feel and hear how sincere he was
about how hard of a decision was to do this right, yep.
But you could also hear like the reverence in his
voice for LSU and the history and all the like
how he feels and the love that you know, maybe
it's not maybe not maybe it's not love yet, maybe
it's just reverence. Maybe it's just uh, I understand it's
a great place. I respect it. I've always like cherished
the LSU like a different way and a guy that's
been on the other sideline multiple times, tell me if
you felt the same way I did, because I felt
like it was authentic him telling the stories about when
he was driving up and is like seeing Tiger Stadium
all lit up and being like oh wow, like right,
that's mine, Like I get to be a part.
Speaker 4: Of that now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like it felt like that was authentic in him
being like, because you know this as well as I do.
When you're a visitor going to some of these places,
like you don't really get a chance to experience it
at all. You drive, you get in a bus, you
drive to the very back of the stadium, you pull in,
you go to the locker room.
Speaker 4: You say the interstate marry up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so like you don't you don't get a chance
to see it from afar like you do, and like,
you know, see all the different aspects of the stadium.
He's never been up to South Stadium club or he
did in press conference and obviously like of you from that,
like you get the entire stadium, you get the the
you know, the Mississippi there off into.
Speaker 5: The probably never even because you got you gotta think
the bus comes in from interstate on the back side
of the stadium. He's probably never even seen football ops
besides like on Google maps, right, you know, so like
you get to take it all in and you get
to say, like I am the caretaker of this now,
like this is or at least this short period of time,
whether that's you know, six years or twenty years, it's
his to take care of. And that's it's a and
you and you're right, you hit the down the head
like there was a sincerity to his voice.
Speaker 4: What did I say a couple of weeks authenticism?
Speaker 7: Authenticism?
Speaker 4: Yep, let's don't even try.
Speaker 7: Yeah try, I don't think I was here for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's too early. You are, you are because you
would have had I was trying.
Speaker 5: To say authenticism and I said AUTHENTICSM Nope, not it.
Speaker 4: But you get it. Say authenticity.
Speaker 5: I think if you if you attack words, whether you're
saying right or not, people I think people get it.
Speaker 8: What was that, Oh Jimmy was saying point of content
contentious Yeah, instead of contention.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wor's hard. They are. Words are hard.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of words in this English language and
they say it's the hardest one to learn he do.
I basically mastered it.
Speaker 8: I do love when he was talking about being a visitor,
I tell you say him yeah, and he was like
the weight of it that was good, like just pulls
you down. But people were saying that when you're on
the other side of it, your home.
Speaker 7: It like lifts you up.
Speaker 8: You feel like you're like floating entire staty. I loved
when he was talking about, like.
Speaker 5: I kind of want to feel that, yeah, on that
side of it. Yeah, yeah, And I promise you this
isn't like trying to be a hater and like all
little brother over there in Mississippi. I've been in old
mississ Stadium.
Speaker 4: They respect.
Speaker 6: No, I mean it's not it's certainly not the worst
in the sec I've been to. We've I've played in
or covered a game in every one of them. It's
not the worst by any means. But I've seen a
Saturday night game there and to compare the two is
not the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now, again, like when they're good, their fans have shown
up and it's been a good like I give them, you.
Speaker 5: Know, well, it's a nice stadium and it's the fans
are good. Let's just say it's it's it's like the
cutest stadium in the SEC.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a big difference between you know, thirty
five forty thousand more people and people that get excited
for a night game here in the way that we act.
I mean that in a very positive way. It's just
completely different.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and I don't think we need to like
explain that to old miss fans.
Speaker 4: Well you would think you would think you don't. You
would think you don't. So yeah, like you could tell
like it's like it's going to mean something.
Speaker 5: It's like maxing out on like bench press, Like there's
one guy that can do five hundred and the other
guy can do three fifty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And it's like just the.
Speaker 5: Three fifty guys saying he's as strong as the guy
that benches five hundred.
Speaker 4: It's just not factual. It's like like it's a lot.
It's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like when we were in college, Like I'd
get under there in like four twenty five and I
feel so good about myself and I'm like, oh yeah,
and then here comes Sean Jordan.
Speaker 4: Shawn's like, hey, can you put six hundred on the bar,
And I'm like this reps out your four.
Speaker 7: Twenty five oh in the no big deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh he was. Yeah, but I remember that feeling man.
Speaker 5: Like coolan did you see at four twenty five? It's good, Yeah,
it's it's just it's just not six hundred. So oh mess,
you're good, You're you're cute, a good stadium, you're cute.
Speaker 4: But it's not the same. Sorry, And y'all.
Speaker 5: The fact that we get I don't care if Clemson
ends up being really good, if they end up being
exactly who they are this year, it's still Clemson.
Speaker 6: And the fact that that's going to be the opener.
It's not a neutral site game, it's not an away game.
It's a I would assume a Saturday night game in
Tiger Stadium for the first opportunity too, And it's.
Speaker 4: Going to be at its peak.
Speaker 6: And we like we you know, we've all been able
to experience in person that place's peak, and that's exactly
what's going to be his first time out. It's not
Jacksonville State. Sorry, that was a shot at y'all. Y'all,
A good football program should not have done that.
Speaker 4: Now, I mean, they're like a twenty five benure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it should have gone somebody else it was pretty
good directional school.

point it's just on time? Can we can we can

were here at like six twenty five every single day

a note It's like you're true pro Now when you
were late every time for like a three year period,
and you would send me a picture of traffic.
Speaker 5: Was it the same picture every time that you sing?
I would so I would love to say, yes, I
had the same picture. I did send you the same
picture once, but most of the time it was there
was construction at the it was a split for like
five years.
Speaker 6: It was always a picture that had like the exit signs.
Like you know what I'm saying, Like I always wanted
you to know where I was.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I feel like you sent me the same
picture before.
Speaker 5: Now sometimes I would be late and I just conveniently
would catch traffic. I can snap that pic, Okay, I
mean I get it. I mean the show was what
six to eight originally so.
Speaker 4: I was I was.
Speaker 5: I feel like I was late more in the morning show, right,
Oh yeah, you were all yes, yeah, I guess at six.
Speaker 4: I guess like five o'clock.
Speaker 6: I mean, it was never great if we're if we're
being honest, you were late one to three as well.
Speaker 5: So when we would do remotes from different restaurants, I
was usually not late because I was sure food involved.
Speaker 4: That's true. How we used to have to do the
walk on and not have to Prairie We got we
got to in Prairieville.
Speaker 7: That all the way out there.
Speaker 4: That was a drive. That was a drive that it
was me and him and Dixon. Yeah, every Friday.
Speaker 8: So I have the I had the uh Guarantee phone
when I went to Nashville and we were using it
to like record stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we know. Because we didn't have a clock, I
couldn't see how long.
Speaker 7: Okay, you can use literally any.
Speaker 4: Phone, no, but camp we tried. We tried to use
world clock and it was a mess. Sorry.
Speaker 8: Yes, continue, And I saw in the camera roll like
an old picture of y'all at walk On Nice, So
I meant to send it to.
Speaker 7: Y'all, but I forgot.
Speaker 4: We look awesome.
Speaker 8: No, doubt y'all were looking at the phone for some reason,
like some either T Bob or like they were showing
you something on the phone. Yeah, y'all were taking a selfie. Yeah,
I love walk Ons.
Speaker 5: Where else do we do that? From both the walk Ons?
So we would switch from the corporate Center Piville every
other week and then we did it, uh right here
Red Electric Red six Social.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: See, like that was big for us though, because it
was only Fridays at that time slot. That was twenty
nineteen too, and it was so we were Yeah, we
were six to eight Monday through Thursday. And originally we
didn't even do a show on Friday because Gordy's like, hey, Bud,
like nobody's listening on Friday night, and I'm like yeah,
and so but eventually we moved to one to three
and so like for us, it was like a big deal.
Speaker 4: We had listeners. We had more than eight people listening.
This isn't a friends and family show.
Speaker 6: Yes, and one time a Landra Comrades wasn't working and
uh who because like we only had like we got
like ten of those in the year in that time slot.
Speaker 4: Everything else was nighttime radio and we had one that
it wasn't working. I was so pissed. Yep, I remember that,
you know. I was like, just play national, Like we
sounded like we were doing the show from a coffee can. Right?
Speaker 5: Was that that was a walk on? Or is that
at Red six Social? It was walk on and pravak
and private? I remember because Dixon was laughing at me.
That was a long drive. You just canceled the show.
Speaker 4: I think we did, though.
Speaker 6: I think we canceled it, ordered food and drank some beers,
fit in a man pretty nice time. Yeah, we get
hanged like college again.
Speaker 4: There was no cookie bowl though. That was fun.
Speaker 5: The twenty nineteen year, I mean every Friday was like
hell uber electric.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was great. It was out amongst the people. Yeah,
everybody was happy, and that's what we're hoping Shoe gets
back to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, drinking all the beers while we're on radio, Well
I can do it because we aren't getting paid.
Speaker 6: Well no, no, no, The rule, the official rule is
anybody that's not running the board can have a couple
of cold pops.
Speaker 4: Nice. Yeah, we do. You not remember we checked like
we we did all that, We checked all that because of.
Speaker 5: That, Well you did, Hey, I was volunteering my time.
Like now I think about it, that was dumb. You
were getting my high commercials though I was just talking
about it. That was getting some commercial are for sure
because you did the screaming eagle sound.
Speaker 4: That's true. Good point.
Speaker 5: We still have that take it all back think, I
mean guarantees got it somewhere. You still use it though,
the screaming eagle, yeah.
Speaker 4: A little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the name of the Little R Factory too,
screaming eagle. All right, businessman, guy, father and a businessman.
I'm not your guy for.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 6: So one thing that was reported yesterday and still could
be true, but also couldnot be true, and if it's
not true, it could be a sad day. Is our
guy Blake Baker is interviewing for the two lane head
coaching job.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 6: If he doesn't get that, I fully expect him to
be back as the defensive coordinator. Don't expect him to
take any other job. That's home for Blake's where he
played and this is home too, don't get me wrong.
That's where he played and that's always a curveball.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I would just like to speak to the two lane
officials right now Blake's not that good of a coach.
He doesn't can't connect with players, that's right, can't recruit,
doesn't know x'es and o's. Yeah, I mean it was
pretty much Brian Kelly's defense. They were running so like Tulane,
I'm looking out for y'all.
Speaker 4: Right, now, that's right. Blake not a great coach, I
don't think so.
Speaker 7: Can I interest you in a defensive coordinator that's been
in New Orleans? Take Dennis Allen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's way better.
Speaker 6: He said he doesn't like Chicago very much, wants to
come back to New Orleans.
Speaker 4: Anybody but Blake. He's not Blake Blake. Blake. Blake doesn't.
He doesn't, you know, connect with New Orleans. He doesn't
know it. He's like, I just spent four years there,
but then I quickly left. You know.
Speaker 7: He lost the locker room, lost the locker room.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you all don't need to do that. Don't do that.
Like man like dress up a little bit, Blake. It's
called sleeves. Can't you can't lead a group of men
with no sleeves, right. I think he just needs to
come back here, guys to not a fit. It's not
a fit. Guys. I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Wait, damn it.
Speaker 8: Do y'all believe that Lane Kiffin really didn't think that
or really didn't know what his contract was?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 7: Why was he saying that?
Speaker 6: Like maybe like to the decimal tales. Yeah, but I'm
gonna be honest with you. In the NFL, I never
knew exactly how much, Like I knew kind of the range,
but I'm not gonna sit here and every day I remember,
I hit all of my incentives one year, and I
knew it went up to pass a million, and that's
all I knew.
Speaker 4: It could have been one point one. It could have
been one point three. Like I really, I really don't know.
Speaker 6: So maybe like to that point, to that extent, like
he knows, he knows it's over, he knows it's over
ten million.
Speaker 5: It wasn't gonna be like, you know, don't tell me.
One person's offered me a million, the other one offered
me thirteen. Like yeah, unless there's a discrepancy that I
don't really want to know. I'm sure Jimmy sex and
I'm sure you're gonna get as much as you can
for your pocket, right, So I think I'm good.
Speaker 4: I mean, I believe that he didn't know the details.
Speaker 8: Do you think he was like Jimmy was just telling him, like, hey,
they're all in the same ballpark.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I agree, Like, okay, so it's an easy
thing to say, this is a decision not based on money,
like when you know you're gonna get paid a lot
of money, So like it probably didn't matter whether it
was twelve or fourteen million to him, right, Like he
wasn't gonna take six right, Yeah, and he shouldn't. But like,
of course, every like money matters to everybody, and like,
and I get it might matter less to some people,
and it might like the details might not matter once
it gets to a certain point, like if I get this,
I'm good whatever. Anything above that awesome. Like to say,
like money does, like a decision wasn't based on money.
I that means, like they offered me thirteen point seven,
the other one offered me thirteen point two, so I'm
gonna take the thirteen point seven, Like that would be
a decision ba off of money, right, Yeah, Like I
think for him, it's so much like as long as
it's in the ballpark, then it's that's not going to
be the decided factor. Yeah, which is like, that's not
a flaw for Anny, that's a you're dumb if you
don't think you would do the same.
Speaker 4: Lane did keep mentioning four schools? Yeah, he didn lsu.
Speaker 6: Florida, Ole, Miss maybe Auburn. Auburn's the only thing that
I can think of, Penn State.
Speaker 3: Entertain that.
Speaker 5: I don't know how anybody real journalists look at him
over there. I don't know how anybody didn't jump on
that yesterday. I don't feel like a journalist, and I'm
not a real member of the media, so I didn't
feel like I was just gonna sit there like, who's
the other that's one of the question.
Speaker 4: Uh, Lane, who said for school? You said four? Bud, Yeah,
we know about three.
Speaker 6: And then he would have said, hey, your core looks
really warm. I don't know about your arms, but your
core looks really warm right now.
Speaker 4: Then I would have hit him with it.
Speaker 5: You ever throw your leg out in bed, keep your
core warm? Gotta hear that legout sometimes. I just thought,
that's that's the first time you choose that one for
a line, Dray, I've heard that one before.
Speaker 4: It's still plays, It still plays. You put a limp cool.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a fair comparison. I just never that's funny.
Speaker 4: I know he said last night that it was I
think you mentioned it was U c.
Speaker 5: L A.
Speaker 4: Maybe after the fact, But what really I saw that.
I saw that on social media.
Speaker 5: Say that because he have some like family times there.
I mean he was at USC maybe. I mean he's
from California. I mean he went to President State, which
is nowhere near U c.
Speaker 3: L A.
Speaker 5: I mean it's in the middle of the state. But
I don't know, but as get him on the show.

if not the only new head coach in ben Rouge.
Speaker 5: Southern Jags hired NFL Hall of Famer Marshall falk Who
how about that?
Speaker 4: I mean, what a hire? Make a splash much?
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a guy that is from Louisiana, from
New Orleans, went to Carver High down there in at
New Orleans in the ninth ward and went out to
San Diego State for college.
Speaker 4: And I remember being in San Diego and he's a
legend there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Paul, you got like a where you
can find like a ninety second or two minute like
just Marshall, fuck, highlight fell.
Speaker 4: While we're talking about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was like on the field, like the first
true do it all running back that I remember, Like, Hey,
we're gonna line you up anywhere and everywhere, you're gonna
run it.
Speaker 4: Obviously we're gonna we're gonna throw you the football, but
like it like.
Speaker 5: That whole offense, like the original, like the first offense
where everybody would watch in the NFL.
Speaker 4: And was like, what what the hell is that? Wait
running back?
Speaker 5: It's like the scene from Remember the Titans when that
that team's throwing it all over the place. So I
don't know what they're doing. I don't know which way,
which direction they're growing. Yes, very much. So that offense
was so much like and that was the time of
my life too, where I was like growing up and
it was at the time I tell you about the story.
I went and watched evangel play John Tyland, and I'm like,
what the hell is this?
Speaker 4: Like, what is this offense? Dad? They can do that?
And like I was coming into my own with football,
starting to love it and play quarterback.
Speaker 5: In middle school and stuff, and then like these guys
come out in the NFL and it was just unbelievable.
So that certainly was the name when I when I
saw that Southern was hiring as their head coach, I
was like, Yeah, it's a big move, man. It's great
for the city, it's great for the school. He spent
last year coaching running backs at Colorado with coach Prime,
but old I'm wondering if he had any coach in
the experience. Yeah, he was the running back coach last year.
Speaker 6: But on the field, Super Bowl Champ, NFL MVP in
two thousand, we know how hard that is to do
when you don't play quarterback. Three time NFL Offensive Player
of the Year nineteen ninety nine, two thousand, and two
thousand and one, so three consecutive years he was the
NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 4: He was the Rookie of the Year in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 6: He was three time first team All Pro, three times
second team All Pro, so six times in his career
he was on the All Pro team. It's a great,
great move by Southern. I know he doesn't have a
ton of coaching on his resume, but he did coach
major college football last year.
Speaker 4: And it's Marshall Falk. It's Marshall Fulk.
Speaker 6: I think Marshall Fualk knows a thing or two about football.
I can't wait to see what it does. Obviously like
brings life to the program. Now that I know they
just wanted to buy you classic. I think twenty five
twenty four if I remember right in Lady Jag, Miss Judy,
I know you're listening.
Speaker 4: If I got the score wrong, let me know they
dominated that series.
Speaker 6: By the way, do you owe her a little Yeah,
because we have a bet every year because I'm from
North Louisiana and obviously Lady Jag Lady Jag, and so
every year, Yeah, if Grambling wins, she has to wear
a Grambling shirt and if Southern winds, I usually wear
a Southern shirt or hoodie or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I got gotta pay up on my dead there.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at this rushing stats for Marshall fuck in
his career and seventy nine yards rushing on two thousand
and thirty six carries. That's four point three yards per
carry on average for his career one hundred tutters, only
thirty fumbles in two thousand, eight hundred thirty six carries.
Pretty ball security, I'd say, so four point three yards
average per carry, that's pretty great.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Say receiving yard six thousand.
Speaker 5: And seventy five receiving yards, that nine average of nine
yards per catch.
Speaker 4: Think about that.
Speaker 5: Like normal running backs, you don't get close to ten
yards per catch. I mean you're more like five or six.
He's got six thousand or yards. Yeah, I'm excited about that.
Man's it's a great deal. That went forward pass in
the air seven hundred and sixty seven times in the
National Football League.
Speaker 6: To get Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, just a little bit
above where what I did. How much you get thirty?
You did it, But you did it, yeah, sure, sure,
not to the level of Marshall basically the same guy.
Not to the level of a Marshall fark. But again, man,
this is this is great for the program. I think,
very very cool. So the HBCUs have done a great job.
And you've got so many legends of the game.
Speaker 5: And Michael Vick obviously he takes a job he had
Sewn Jackson take a job Eddie George before moved on
to Bowling Green.
Speaker 4: And so you know, bringing these legends.
Speaker 6: To these schools and be able to be mentors and
be able to share their experiences and their football knowledge too.
Speaker 4: I mean we're talking about all timers.
Speaker 6: So Marshall Falk adds to the at Marshall Falk again,
he's a gold jacket where like he wasn't just like
a good player in the NFL, like he was one.
Speaker 5: Of the best at his position to ever do it. Yep,
how many years so he was has how long has
it been coaching that it really matter?
Speaker 4: Just Colorado? Yeah he did the one year I make
a splash. You don't think people want to come play
for Marshall Falk right here in the Capital City? All right?
Speaker 6: We will step away when we come back. More ot
