Speaker 2: Mat from Well Done line Christopher.

6
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: That might be better than the Halloween one. Halloween's good.

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,000
The robot was good. I wasn't expecting that.

8
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:36,399
Speaker 4: Though that was really good. That was good and it's

9
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,600
the banger of song. Though well done? Well done? Why

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,640
would we get doings?

11
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 5: New?

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,679
Speaker 4: What? What change?

13
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:46,679
Speaker 6: Keep the just keep the holiday on?

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 7: Yes, keep holiday ones? How you can put those together

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,359
so fast? Because we talked about it at six fifty

16
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:51,799
this morning.

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was all right, we got ten minutes. I

18
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:56,920
mean the song like that, it's already done. I just

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,840
have to replace T Bob and the last sponsor.

20
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. I bet I don't know.

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: I hadn't obviously we're on the same time tea Bob is,

22
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,319
but I bet he is peacocky around barstool today.

23
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: I bet him and Megan making money or levitating.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 6: I haven't seen T Bob on Twitter, but I've seen

25
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:17,000
Meghan and she is.

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,519
Speaker 3: Oh, there's g let's get your We were sure if

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,640
she was going to join us tonight, GORDI rush shout

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,040
out to our guys to brave the.

29
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: Weather in Norman, Oklahoma. Now, I was trying.

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,879
Speaker 3: I was trying to get him to close the old

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,000
window they're in the broadcast booth.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,239
Speaker 5: Didn't.

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: We didn't get that done.

34
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: But it's okay because uh, Gordy had to sit there

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,480
in those elements and he had to watch that.

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: The offense from Grapple was just really unlucky turn of

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,840
events for that offense.

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: Gorse wanted both teams to run the football so we

39
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,560
could get out of there. I mean, it was a

40
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:04,120
beautiful day until every about two minutes.

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,519
Speaker 4: In a gust.

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: I know it was all in pregame. You know the

43
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,879
machine that shoots the punts, right, the Jack's machine. I

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,520
knew when they were trying to do that and get

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,240
that done, and every time they shot it it would

46
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,960
end up in the crowd because of the wind. I

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,680
was like, oh, this could be a tough day because

48
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,840
I mean, neither one of those quarterbacks it's not going

49
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:23,280
to be able to push it through the wind.

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Josh Allen not out there, so.

51
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 7: I know you're not like real experience with too much

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,319
cold weather, so like, what's your go to like attire,

53
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:32,800
so how do you prepare to got not.

54
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,439
Speaker 5: True for Green Bay. But we played at Iowall once

55
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,159
it was a negative three, and then I played at

56
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:42,319
Northwestern Fair, which was two blocks from Lake Michigan, and

57
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,960
that was the first time I ever got hit in

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,960
cold weather and it's stung, so I didn't really want

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960
to come on the field. We have those Packers jersey

60
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,840
and the hand warmers, the Packers jackets, yeah, those big jackets.

61
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: But not a whole lot of use, not a lot

62
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,080
of experience.

63
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 5: I like you.

64
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about the game g right before

65
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,479
you came on, and you know, I know we'll get

66
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,240
to all the link if of stuff that is the

67
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,120
main storyline. But we were like, it would be disrespectful

68
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,960
not to talk about the defensive performance and what they

69
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
did and they were going to have to be perfect,

70
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,039
and they had one play where they weren't perfect and

71
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,680
it was the difference in the game. But still a

72
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,719
great performance by the defense giving you at least an

73
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:20,080
opportunity there to win.

74
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 5: Incredible, incredible performance. There are two plays, right, I mean,

75
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:25,479
you know, the perfect call Oklahoma has that little slip

76
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,800
screen and you get the blitz and then you know

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960
they were playing some sort of zone thirds and I

78
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,439
think DJ Pickett didn't get the call and he squatted

79
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,800
on that side and the wide receiver in right past him.

80
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,560
And you know, at that point, Corey and Blake, what

81
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:41,199
do you say to DJ Pickett? You really can't jump

82
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:43,319
as we're ends. As well as he's played this year,

83
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:45,919
you know, they realized that it was a bust. And

84
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,360
it's a shame. It's a shame. They played well enough

85
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,439
to win, played well enough to win a couple times

86
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:50,680
this year.

87
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did.

88
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:53,759
Speaker 3: And we were talking about right before you came on,

89
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,120
if you could pair everything you're getting now on offense

90
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:01,000
with what you already have on defense. I mean, you're

91
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,759
talking about one of the top scoring offenses in the country.

92
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,360
You're talking about an LSU defense that is fourth in

93
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,960
the SEC, only giving up eighteen points per game.

94
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,719
Speaker 4: I mean, on paper, it looks the part.

95
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a headshaker. No, let's you guys talk more

96
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,480
because you're offensive guys. I mean, if not Smart's healthy,

97
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,560
what happens this season? Right? I mean, he's able to

98
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,639
stretch the football field at ole Miss. I mean there's

99
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,560
wide receivers running wide open.

100
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 7: If the offense just looks like a shadow of itself

101
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,160
I did a year ago, and I can't blame that

102
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,160
completely on that injury. Like the foundation x's and o's

103
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:37,800
of this offense were just so flawed from the beginning,

104
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,600
and you've seen it now. They're trying to they're trying

105
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:42,639
to they're trying to implement some new stuff on obviously

106
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,160
they tried to.

107
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: It's just you guys are offensive guys. To me, last

108
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,720
year looked like what Joe Slone wanted to do. Yeah,

109
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,279
and it was more pass oriented, less run. But it

110
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,160
was one thought. This year just was too many cooks

111
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:54,720
in the kitchen.

112
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:55,199
Speaker 4: Gosh.

113
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:57,399
Speaker 5: And it was just a collection of plays. It did

114
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,879
a scrow. It was just stuf.

115
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,439
Speaker 8: Yeah.

116
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: And the receiver screens was wild because they weren't like

117
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,600
Matt talks about this often. They weren't like real receiver

118
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,079
screens like you saw Oklahoma. You got a blitz, you

119
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,040
play the blitz with the ball and a screen. You

120
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,199
got two linemen out front tunnel screen and then like

121
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:14,879
l shoes were hey, we're gonna throw it to a

122
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:17,439
receiver and hope he wins the one on one and

123
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,800
gets as much arts as he gay.

124
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:20,639
Speaker 5: You tell me, Matt, when you get to the line

125
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,879
of scrimmage and you've got all you know, you've got

126
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:26,600
trips out there and all three DB's are squatting, right,

127
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,720
at some point, you gotta be able to check out

128
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,439
of that, right, Yeah, there's there's I mean, I'm not

129
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,199
gonna throw this. Throwing the screen in.

130
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 4: The numbers, Yeah, it was. It was. It was banging

131
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,160
your head on the wall.

132
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,879
Speaker 7: Frustrating for offensive people to watch the offensive play all

133
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,879
year because of decisions like that they had. They had

134
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,319
rps when there shouldn't be rps, which which affected the

135
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,360
lineman block into the second level. And you have, you

136
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:52,319
have your answer. So every place should have an answer

137
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,920
to it. Every run place should have an answer to it,

138
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:55,759
every pass place should have an answer to it. And

139
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,959
it's usually but like there's different answers to every test,

140
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,399
like it's and the answers made no sense. There was

141
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,279
like you said, there's no there was no ability to

142
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,360
check out. And even in this day and age, where

143
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,040
like college teams looked at the sideline, like every time

144
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,959
they looked at the sideline, the play that was called

145
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:16,680
in or relayed in was usually wrong and uh, and

146
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:19,160
it was just they were so you know, they got

147
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:22,399
out of running plays early on so fast at any look,

148
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:25,600
at any like deception that the box might not be cleaned,

149
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,399
that the count might not be cleaned to the right

150
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:28,040
side of the running.

151
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,759
Speaker 3: And that was all those timeouts that you saw where

152
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,519
nuss Meyer and Brian Kelly would argue about it because

153
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680
he was saying, just run it. Just go out there

154
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,279
and run it. It's not gonna be perfect. Sometimes Yeah, yeah.

155
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 7: There was like, oh, well, the safety's kind of coming

156
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,680
down or the the wheels, you know, shaded over the play.

157
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,639
Speaker 5: The plays were getting in too late, and there was

158
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120
no other you know how many times this year, Jake,

159
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,240
I'm yelling play clock, you know, playlock nine. We're breaking

160
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,240
the huddle. It's at nine. Yeah, you got a rookie

161
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:58,199
quarterback in Van Buren that's on the road at Oklahoma,

162
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,519
and you're gonna get him in the line of script

163
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,759
to nine, knowing that he's got some sort of he's

164
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,319
at least got to read half the field, got this

165
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,360
play and half or do something. It was it was

166
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:07,639
frustrating to watch this year.

167
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:09,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't have to worry about it anymore. No,

168
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:10,720
we got Lane.

169
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,839
Speaker 3: No, and one thing, Lane's always, no matter where he's been,

170
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,279
no matter what the situation, he can call a game.

171
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: No, no, no.

172
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 4: I mean one of, if not the best in college football.

173
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,839
Speaker 3: Gordy, You and I talked about it on the broadcast

174
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,040
this year when we were doing the Old Miss game.

175
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:28,399
We were like, Oh, he's gonna come back to that.

176
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,279
Oh he's gonna he' setting that up. He's gonna come

177
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:31,639
back to that, And every time he did, but you

178
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,839
didn't know when it was gonna happen. And I remember

179
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,439
like he utilized a tight end so much in our game,

180
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,040
like that was the thing that he saw that he

181
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:41,680
tried to exploit. And when they needed to close the game,

182
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:44,439
I remember us both being like tight end, Like watch

183
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,959
a tight end, and it was a unique way he

184
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,800
got him free and boom, tight end game over.

185
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 5: It was he set up all that misdirection and sneak

186
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,959
the tight end out. Look for me watching Lane over

187
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,959
the years, he's always scripted the first three or four

188
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:00,079
series better than anybody. Yeah, I mean, unbelievable. Would I

189
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,480
worried about for it was a good thing for L

190
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,160
Shoe back to the Matt Crow years is that he

191
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:06,879
got away from some of it and then he kind

192
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,600
of freelanced a little bit. Yeah, it made more sense

193
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:12,160
and more rhyme into things we talked about he's doing

194
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,000
a to set up B and NC and things like

195
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800
that was more consistent what he's doing. So I think

196
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560
it would be fabulous. It's can fascinating. I should see

197
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,639
the watch the moves he makes now and recruit him.

198
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:25,920
We got what two days left.

199
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,879
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of movie going on, crazy, right,

200
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,319
I mean.

201
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: I guess see the good thing So Penn State when

202
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,600
James Franklin leaves, they had seventeen guys dcommended, no doubt

203
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,799
girl who's only had two two and he.

204
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: Got people talking about flipping and then two old miss

205
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:41,240
guys flipped out.

206
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: And even like some of the ones that have flipped,

207
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,039
like you kind of felt like they might not get

208
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:50,240
to the finish line from Lshoe's perspective, like maybe maybe

209
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,200
you should look elsewhere at least in one of them.

210
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,799
And so like that staff's done a great job of

211
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:57,519
keeping the whore together and the job that Frank's done

212
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,399
and the entire assistant coaching staff over there, and so

213
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:02,639
really right now, the good thing for Lane, he's got

214
00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:04,879
a top fifteen recruiting class and you saw him meet

215
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,360
with the top guys. Lamar Brown's there, you know, in

216
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:12,159
the office last night, and so I know that it's

217
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:14,440
two days away, but at least the foundation was held

218
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,360
together so well by the staff, and now Lane can

219
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,399
kind of come in and be the closer, like you said,

220
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:21,159
maybe get one or two guys that he committed at

221
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:21,600
ole Miss.

222
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,279
Speaker 5: The gallon from Oklahoma was committed to Oklahoma over from

223
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,360
Lafayette Christian. He decommitted. He was here. He actually saw

224
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,399
a video come in last night. Like I said, it

225
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720
was a receiver and offensive lineman from Ole Miss that

226
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:35,519
decommitted yesterday. So it's going to be a fast and

227
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,679
furious forty eight hours. I know you guys are just

228
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,360
you're twenty four to seven on the recruiting I'm joking.

229
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,000
I'm like, that's going over. I think the interesting and

230
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,759
then you know what sort of quarterbacks. This is a

231
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:49,320
different sort of quarterbacks which he's looking at. You know,

232
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,399
there's all these rumors out there Seller is going to

233
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,679
put himself in the transfer portal. You're going to get

234
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,279
a top tier quarterback that wants to come. Chamberliss up

235
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,919
at ole Miss has requested for another year. Yeah right,

236
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,200
and hasn't been approved for that. So it's it's gonna

237
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,440
be a fascinating month of December before we get to.

238
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: The port Yeah.

239
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 7: That's the thing about with this lane higher. It brings

240
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,879
so much excitement from the offensive side of the ball.

241
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:15,600
You're gonna have You're gonna be able to cherry pick

242
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,679
a quarterback in the transfer portal. You're certainly gonna be

243
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,840
able to cherry pick quarterbacks out of high school just

244
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:23,759
because of the recent success LSU's had with quarterback in

245
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,480
two heismans in the last six years. And now you're

246
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:28,080
gonna Addlane kit. I was just kind of looking at

247
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,039
random Lane Kiffin's stats earlier and his last year at

248
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,720
Florida Atlantic. His quarterback was Chris Robinson. Twenty nine of

249
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,080
force two hundred and ninety one a four to seventy

250
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,919
one for thirty seven hundred and one yards, twenty eight touchdowns,

251
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,159
six interceptions.

252
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 4: Florida Atlantic. Not bad, right, And.

253
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,399
Speaker 3: You know me, like I usually know everybody, I got

254
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,080
no idea.

255
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: Who that fell is?

256
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,799
Speaker 7: Chris Robinson? No, that was that was Lane's third year.

257
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,559
I think they went eleven and three. That kind of

258
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,960
like sprung him into the old miss job. So take

259
00:10:57,039 --> 00:10:59,559
that and you look at the like we just brought

260
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:02,320
up chamber It's like, who who's trying at Chamberlas.

261
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: We said it before our game.

262
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 7: I was like, I watched one game of him play

263
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,399
and I'm like, I don't think he's that good. Like

264
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,559
this first game playing, he just wasn't that good. Yeah,

265
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,360
so that's why I went pretty heavy and like this,

266
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,759
she was gonna win this game. The defense is too good. Well,

267
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,360
every single week, kid got better and like I'm not

268
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:20,679
talking about just like making plays on accident, like being

269
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,200
able to be out athletic people and like someone pops open.

270
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,919
I'm talking about reading one, first, second, third options, tacking

271
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,080
the middle of the field. Like these things that he

272
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,519
did better was absolute quarterback, professional type quarterback play got

273
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,759
better and better every week. And you see that with

274
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:39,759
Lane kiffin offenses, which is something that we should be

275
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,559
really really excited about.

276
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: I think for me, the question offensive side of the

277
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,960
football is the offensive line. I mean this question we get,

278
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240
you know, are they struggling? Are they they they that bad?

279
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:54,240
My answer has been No, yeah, to the to the

280
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,159
point how much of it's skiing? Yeah, how much of

281
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,279
it is what they're getting asked to do? And you

282
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:01,360
guys played more off side of the fuck.

283
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean you know this too though, Like

284
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,360
and Matt pointed out immediately, like the RPO can be

285
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,440
a change up, it can't be your foundation and your

286
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,600
run game, right that gives the offensive line it's a

287
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,159
roads a tool to use.

288
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:15,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not a foundational thing. And scheme is like

289
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,840
one thing. I think people over emphasize the words scheme

290
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:21,600
a lot because it gets you brought it up already.

291
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,399
The way he designs the first fifteen, the way he

292
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,200
played calls like he's he's telling a story with his

293
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,000
play gone, it's just as not like what we saw

294
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,480
the LSU.

295
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: Oh this, let's try this play, Let's try this, let's

296
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:31,840
try this.

297
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 7: Scheme is one thing, and his scheme is great, but

298
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,519
the way you coach that scheme, Like I could take

299
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,360
two teams that run the exact same place, one team

300
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,360
might be ten times more successful because they do it better,

301
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,399
Like they run their routes for more of a purpose.

302
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:49,679
I saw LSU blocking their offensive line block this year

303
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:52,559
with no real rhyme or reason to what they were doing.

304
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,399
Like the coaching techniques they have on the top of

305
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,039
their routes. How they're running steam routes versus cover three

306
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,879
versus cover two, How they run a seam routes for

307
00:12:59,919 --> 00:13:02,720
vers cover one. How they're running comeback routes in different covers.

308
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,480
What they're outside receiver. How how he's releasing versus cover

309
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,000
two with an inside stick route. Like there's different things

310
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,159
I think well coached, well coached schemes, Like I think

311
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,279
the word scheme gets.

312
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: You so much, but how it coached coaches.

313
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,399
Speaker 7: Yes, basically, there's only so many directions receiver can run,

314
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,279
you guys, And.

315
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 5: That's why I love this talk, because you guys are

316
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,279
offensive guys. But I can tell you one of my

317
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:27,080
favorite conversations was twenty eleven after LSU beat West Virginia

318
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,399
and I had to do the Last Miles TV show

319
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:31,960
for the first time, and so that meant least was

320
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,759
going to take a good hour to shower and put

321
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:34,480
a suit on and.

322
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,759
Speaker 4: All different than what we have now.

323
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:37,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, I mean the horn's going

324
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,440
off and yeah, and I sat downstairs a friend of

325
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,919
a mutual friend between Dana Holgerson and I when sat

326
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:48,840
down in Dana and then Shannon Dawson was the OC. Yeah, Hammond,

327
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,960
who's down in Miami now, and you know we're talking

328
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
ball and he's talked about that. You know how good

329
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Lsu was defensively, We never see that many big guys

330
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:58,840
while blah blah, and I asked them some offensive questions,

331
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,320
like Gordy, we really run six or seven plays and

332
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,080
that's all that we run. But I can do five

333
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,720
things out of them, but we run them over and

334
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:07,639
over and over again, and you know, we had an

335
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,879
eighth play, but we felt like it took too much

336
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,519
time away. And I think that you know, that's when

337
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,240
you hear the simplicity of some of that stuff. So

338
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:20,000
many times people overthink offenses and just how sharp you know,

339
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:23,840
Ole Miss runs their stuff, Yeah, precise, And that was

340
00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:26,480
a problem with La Shoe. I mean everything was clunky.

341
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:27,639
Every nothing smooth.

342
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,679
Speaker 7: And that's the thing, Like, that's why people always have

343
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:34,200
success when they go two minutes before half, like they're like, well,

344
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,440
they haven't done anything all game. They just went down

345
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440
the field. Well, because two minutes is day one install

346
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,240
and it's stuff that you repped rep repped Oklahoma hit

347
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:43,720
a big play because what do they what do you

348
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,440
do with the struggling offense? You get you up the tempo?

349
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,159
Oh yeah right, and you confuse the defense and you

350
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,120
run a base you're gonna he hit a seam route

351
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,639
like how many They probably ran that plate ten times

352
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:54,200
that game already, But you rushed.

353
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: And no one the primary route. I mean that was

354
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:58,519
he just came back to tier, did a nice shot.

355
00:14:58,759 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: He saw it.

356
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:02,399
Speaker 3: And also the thing about Lanes offense that we've talked

357
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,440
about a ton here on the show when we're talking

358
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,840
about old mess, but certainly we'll get more into it.

359
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
The thing I love about the run portion of it

360
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600
is he wants to run the football and he's very

361
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,120
diverse in.

362
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,639
Speaker 4: The run game.

363
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,879
Speaker 3: It's not going to be inside zone eighty nine percent

364
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:18,559
of the time. It's going to be power which LSU

365
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,519
football didn't run one this year, which is fascinating to me.

366
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:24,480
We couldn't go a series without running a power when

367
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,720
we played counter, inside, outside zone, stretch lead, I mean,

368
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:29,679
everything's up.

369
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,679
Speaker 5: One thing I would say, one critique I've always had

370
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,720
for Kiffin's offenses. His quarterbacks take hits. Yeah, I mean,

371
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:40,279
Matt Corrall Dart got to us, was limping, ran it

372
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,720
for like eighteen nineteen times at Tennessee. Jackson Dart took hits.

373
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,320
You know, Champ is not a big guy. I've surprised

374
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,440
the amount of hits he hasn't taken this year.

375
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

376
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if we can blame Kiffin for

377
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,919
Jackson Dart yet. From what we see from Jackson with

378
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,600
the Giant so far, that's fair. That is completely fair.

379
00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 8: Uh.

380
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: Shout out to Verge Ostbury as well.

381
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

382
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Verge had a target, was not going to

383
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320
be denied, stayed on the target, was calm in the process.

384
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:10,679
I mean, uh, you know, I had had the chance

385
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:12,399
to fly up to the to the game with him,

386
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,919
and man, there was no panic. It was smooth sailing

387
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,679
and he felt confident and what was going to go down.

388
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:21,000
And I was impressed, just you know, sitting a couple

389
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,039
of feet from it and watching it all play out. Gee,

390
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:25,440
And Verge said he's like, we're gonna get the best

391
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,480
coach in America. And he had one guy and he

392
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:29,159
honed in on that guy and got the guy.

393
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

394
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:31,759
Speaker 5: Shout out to Verge as good of friends as he

395
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600
is with Scott Woodward to go through that and all

396
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:39,159
the all political and everything else, to stay focused on

397
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,120
that target and being around it. Last weekend at the

398
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,200
down the locker room for you know, the Western Kentucky game,

399
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,000
Buddy felt confident that they were gonna get Kiffin. They

400
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,919
felt like there was Kiffin and in their minds there

401
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,679
was a big enough drop and to be able harder

402
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,039
sell for Drink, who we both like, Yeah right, I

403
00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:59,480
like you like Drink would so I think it's fantastic

404
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720
football coach. Would it be a hard sell to say, here,

405
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,279
we're gonna pay you Eli eleven million dollars a year

406
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,559
after we've paid Brian Kelly fifty three to fifty four

407
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,759
million to come down here and pay us.

408
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 4: Five everybody let me know what they felt.

409
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: I like Drink, I think he's a good coach.

410
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: But to your point, it was it was Kiffin. Then

411
00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:19,559
there was a drop and a lot of.

412
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 5: People so I think they were we got to have Kiffin.

413
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,279
Speaker 4: We're all in on it, which I can appreciate. You're like, hey,

414
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,640
this is the guy. I'm not going anywhere else.

415
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,559
Speaker 3: This is the only direction I'm going in because I

416
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:32,559
feel confident enough and look, Verge is a new athletic director.

417
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,759
He's been doing you know something here at LSU for

418
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:38,480
thirty years. After he's done playing like, he's been in

419
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:41,200
every aspect of the athletic department. He has seen how

420
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,680
things play out. And so yeah, he's new to the

421
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,640
athletic director title, but he's been involved in this for

422
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:47,200
a long time.

423
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,839
Speaker 5: No, absolutely, he's been involved. He has a great relationship

424
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,519
with Jimmy Sexton and kudos to Verge for that. But

425
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,960
it was a fascinating week from everything from Drinkwitz to

426
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,160
taking the Missouri deal. Once once the chips start to

427
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,279
the fall, you felt better and better about Lane coming here.

428
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:06,079
And I just shake my head at the Auburn situation.

429
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,440
I mean, you know, I mean John Somerrell's wife went

430
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,480
to Auburn. Yeah, I think I believe. Yeah, it's from Huntsville.

431
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,720
Auburn's much a more attractive job. And just apparently John

432
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:21,440
Cohen wanted them to take DJ Diurkin and staff and

433
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,000
what have you. And when the market is that demand,

434
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:27,640
you know, you have a low supply of coaches and

435
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,359
you have that much demand on them, and then for

436
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,759
them to pull Alex Golish out at one am. They

437
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:35,880
made up call it one am on Friday. Hey, would

438
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,440
you take the job. It's kind of a headshaker.

439
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,599
Speaker 3: There, I know for some reason, and I've heard from

440
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,640
from all the Auburn folks that like Cohen just never

441
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:46,079
wanted to fully give himself over to John Sumraw, which

442
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,880
is it's fascinating to me. I mean from what he's

443
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,000
done and multiple remember Troy had kind of falling off

444
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,039
from what we know Troy to be. As soon as

445
00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:55,799
he got there, they started winning games again. So it's

446
00:18:55,839 --> 00:18:56,720
not only a two lane.

447
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 5: There was a gap after Neil Brown left. Absolutely yeah.

448
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,039
I mean he coached Kentucky.

449
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 4: In the sec I was Kentucky doing.

450
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:08,039
Speaker 5: And even waiting this late no idea. Look be happy

451
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:11,279
we got Lane Kiffen and a couple of headshakers. And look,

452
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:14,599
I love Pete Golding. I think Pete's a great guy.

453
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:17,759
You know, is that emotional play at this point you

454
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,680
have to give the permanent title, right.

455
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's the head coach.

456
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,319
Speaker 3: Is interesting, it is. I mean I played around the

457
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,079
golf of Pete. I like, Pete, you don't even play

458
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,400
I don't play golf.

459
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I.

460
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 7: Do want to ask you, like I know we're late

461
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:33,559
for a break here, but like I do want to

462
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:36,559
ask you the you know there everything kind of rushed

463
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,960
and just everybody nationally except for in Louisiana because we

464
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,000
don't really care because we got our guy. But everyone

465
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:45,200
natually talking about like the college football schedule and how

466
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,920
it's like because of this, how sloppy this was, how

467
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,920
messy this kind of was, Like, is there any fix

468
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,960
in your mind to the college football just timing of

469
00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:57,960
signing days and is there any fix that anyway to get.

470
00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:00,599
Speaker 5: This to move something? Are you're going to have every year?

471
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,079
I know every year when it comes down to you know,

472
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,160
now we're seeing it for the first time that the

473
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,279
signing day is on the Wednesday after the last regular season,

474
00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:12,799
before the championship game. Yeah, the transfer portal is where

475
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:16,119
it is right there. I mean you're forcing coaches hands

476
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,839
right down, disrupting seasons and ultimately the biggest loser of

477
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:22,559
the student athletes. Yeah, I mean student athletes. And you

478
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:24,559
know you feel for the kids at Old Miss, Yeah,

479
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:25,599
that are put in that.

480
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: Spot we were talking about earlier. Of all people, Rick

481
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,279
Patino had a great point. Yes, he's like, y'all got it.

482
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:33,440
Messed up in football. That would be like us getting

483
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,279
the one seed in March before the March madness and

484
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,960
then saying we got to go. It's the same thing, Like,

485
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,119
that's what you're telling these coaches, because, like LS, you

486
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,759
wasn't gonna wait until January, No, couldn't. You got to

487
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:47,680
have a leader, right, You had to have a leader

488
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,480
for signing day. You had to, like you don't want

489
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,319
to have an interim coach, no matter who it is,

490
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,240
for six seven, eight weeks, right, So you had to

491
00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:56,559
have a leader in place to get everything moving in

492
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:57,160
the right direction.

493
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,559
Speaker 5: Coming back to Pete Golden, and he very well may

494
00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:01,279
do a great job and be the guy at Old Miss,

495
00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:03,599
but almost forces Old missus hand. Yeah, if I don't

496
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:06,920
stabilize this ship right now, I've got recruits coming on Wednesday,

497
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,880
I've got this game that's coming. I'm trying to hold

498
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,519
this team together. I got a transfer portal. I almost

499
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:13,680
have to make a play right now.

500
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 4: Yep, for sure.

501
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: Gee appreciate it, brother, it's been a it's.

502
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: A long day studio.

503
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was great.

504
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 4: Anything it look warmer last time I saw you? What's

505
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,319
it look warmer?

506
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,039
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot, By the way, I took my fifteen

507
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,519
year old son. So I took Jackson Alumnia, and I'm

508
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,359
getting crushed right now because his seats were in section two.

509
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,960
Twenty eight. He made it the halftime. He made it

510
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,559
the half time. Twenty eight was the upper up. Absolutely,

511
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:42,160
he went back to the pre party and sure kid

512
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,640
was shriveled. And so if I get a call for

513
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,559
child abuse or something today, I might need you all

514
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:46,960
to bail me.

515
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, I'll vouch for you. They vouch for you.

516
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,599
Speaker 3: I'll actually I'll throw it on Lou and the equipment

staff or not getting him a parking.

518
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 5: It's his fault.

519
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,279
Speaker 4: It's all Low and Maule. It's their fault. Do you

520

576
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 7: Oh, my god, that's a terrible take, I said, I

577
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,519
prefaced it with all due respect, with all due.

578
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,319
Speaker 6: Respect, my god, respectfully, that's a trash opinion.

582
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:12,359
that works. Sorry, dev I respect those that love it.

583
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:16,039
Giving you my opinion. I'm entitled to it.

584
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,599
Speaker 3: Real quick here, like I said, we are going to

585
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,319
get to Ross Dellinger Yahoo, who was literally boost on

586
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,400
the ground and had most of the updates here during

587
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,119
this link given situation in the SEC and we mentioned

588
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,240
some of it with Gordy there. But just a quick

589
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,880
recap of what happened with the coaching carousel. So Ryan

590
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,839
Silverfield goes from Memphis to Arkansas, Alex Golish goes from

591
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,920
South Florida to Auburn, John summer All goes from Tulane

592
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,039
to Florida, Pete Golden goes from defensive coordinator to head

593
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,640
coach at ol Miss and Mark Stoops, which you'll hear

594
00:25:57,319 --> 00:26:00,319
a little bit later on. And Mark Stoops is my guy, okay,

595
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:04,319
but he gotta let go a Kentucky. So you know

596
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,200
what that means there's gonna be a eulogy for Mark Stoops.

597
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,759
St Bob would say, I don't know if I get

598
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:12,000
through it, but I can't even say it.

599
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 7: I can't even say it. Don't don't do that to yourself.

600
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,039
The questions we got a lot of show left we

601
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,599
was Kentucky doing though that?

602
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:24,039
Speaker 6: Why would you wait until everybody already know their coaches?

603
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,720
That's wild?

604
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,279
Speaker 3: Well for sure, Yeah, but the summer all part, like

605
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:32,240
he played linebacker there, Yeah, like he would have I

606
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,720
would assume love to go back to where he played,

607
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,440
and he was one of the hotter names on the

608
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:38,319
coaching trails.

609
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:38,759
Speaker 4: So I don't.

610
00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:43,799
Speaker 3: I think Kentucky is a good job. We like, you

611
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,559
can do enough to win there. The expectations are set

612
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:51,079
eight wins and you're like, I mean, that's why Mark

613
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,680
Stups was the most tenured SEC coach before yesterday.

614
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,839
Speaker 7: I think a lot of times, like when we when

615
00:26:56,839 --> 00:27:00,319
we're fans of something like the Kentucky fans, in any

616
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,640
fan of any college or pro team or whatever it is,

617
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:04,720
I think you take for granted, like people in the

618
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:07,759
high seats, like you're always like, you know what, they

619
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:10,319
know what they're doing. They got it under control. Like

620
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,920
when I got to the NFL, that's what I thought too.

621
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,599
I know other people in the NFL, they got it

622
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,359
under control. You soon realize like nobody has anything under control,

623
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:19,440
Like nobody really knows what they're doing in any job.

624
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,680
They're just trying to figure it out as they go, right.

625
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,279
That can be said for anything the higher ups in

626
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:30,079
any business, government, certainly university athletic programs. Like you think

627
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,640
people take it for it when you have all these

628
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,000
followers and so many highs on something and everybody's like

629
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,319
they got it, they know what they're doing, let's just

630
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:36,920
let them do it.

631
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:39,839
Speaker 4: But when you see things like this, you.

632
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 7: Just realize that people really don't know what they're doing. Yeah,

633
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:44,640
all the way across the board and that. And you

634
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,680
see that with Kentucky right now, like there's no rhyme

635
00:27:46,759 --> 00:27:49,559
or reason, there's no explanation for it. The people in

636
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,440
charge screwed that one up. Yeah, big time.

637
00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: All right, So there is a report real quick here

638
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,000
and it's what we talked about here. After talking with

639
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,759
Blake last night, it does look like he is l

640
00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:09,039
SUDFS coordinator. Blake Baker will stay on staff and baton

641
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:16,720
rouge I'm trying to see who had this first. CBS Sports,

642
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,880
CBS Sports. He know, CBS Sports knows.

643
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: Yeah. Like I said, when Blake told me that last night,

644
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,680
I'm like, if you get my hopes would be real bad?

645
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:29,279
Can we play?

646
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: I would look, I would assume with this news like

647
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,839
it's pretty much like yeah. I mean because because Blake

648
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,039
and that staff have a really good relationship on that

649
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:40,799
side of football.

650
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: So this is incredible news.

651
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,519
Speaker 3: Blayane Kiffin, Blake Baker, Let's ride, Let's ride.

652
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? That's awesome.

653
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,599
Speaker 7: I'm so excited. That was like the one thing we

654
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,799
wanted all coaches, any coach coming in. We kind of

655
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160
understated it here because we didn't really know. Yep, oh,

656
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:00,559
here we go, come on, turn up.

657
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: Lake Bankers staying baby per CBS.

658
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,519
Speaker 8: Ooh, I'm.

659
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: He does.

660
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's like the most shocking thing I've learned about you.

661
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: I know he's always had some different music tastes, but

662
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,279
like a funky Friday, this guy's all for it.

663
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,559
Speaker 4: My music taste is very eclectic, guys. I mean, we

664
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,079

00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,279
Baton Rouge. I mean, this thing is incredible. You will

669
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,640
not notice what it used to be when you walk

670
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,640
in there. And it doesn't matter how many times you've

671
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,119
been in there, because Matt and I did a lot

672
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:45,799
of events there.

673
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,279
Speaker 4: It is not a distant cousin to what it used

674
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:48,440
to be.

675
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: It got an upgrade and it is really something that

676
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:55,640
is bringing firepower to downtown Baton Rouge.

677
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:57,599
Speaker 4: And I cannot wait for y'all go check it out.

678

They've got an incredible every room has been touched hotel

681

Speaker 4: They've got suites that overlook Tiger Stadium.

683
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,079
Speaker 3: You will be blown away by the new Ballet's casino

684
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,680

whatever at Bally's Baton Rouge.

687
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,079
Speaker 4: Like, we got to take a walk through it. It

688
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,119
is absolutely incredible.

689
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,799
Speaker 7: Renovated, fully renovate ten story Ballet's Baton Rouge Hotel right there.

690
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,160

00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:06,079
our guy, Ross Dellinger. Yahoo's sports at Ross Dollinger's to

697
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,759
handle on social media. And hopefully you were following him

698
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,440
over the last couple of days because he was all

699
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,599
over Lane Kiffin and him finding his way from Oxford

700
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,519
to Baton Rouge.

701
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,839
Speaker 4: Delli, what's going on? Brother? How you doing good? How

702
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,559
are you all good?

703
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,319
Speaker 3: Do we have you back home yet? Like, are you

704
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,519
actually able to go back home? I know you were

705
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:26,680
boots on the ground there in Oxford. Like, where in

706
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:28,839
the world is Ross Dellinger right now?

707
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 9: I'm right down the street from me, buddy, I'm in Uge.

708
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 10: Yeah.

709
00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: You in the bushes?

710
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, no bushes, no bushes right now?

711
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:38,319
Speaker 5: Yeah?

712
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,559
Speaker 9: Three three three cities, three days, one coach.

713
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 3: I actually, you know what, as soon as I asked that,

714
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,079
I was like, there's no way my man's back home.

715
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,480
He's probably right here in Baton Rouge and so well,

716
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,519
I'm glad I'll get to see you a little bit

717
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:57,519
later on today. Ross this entire time, I mean, again,

718
00:31:57,559 --> 00:31:59,720
you did a fantastic job covering it and kind of

719
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,559
going over every detail. Now, it always felt like it

720
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:07,000
was LSU because LSU was very confident and everybody you

721
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:10,119
talked to felt like they had a really good grasp

722
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,839
on how it was going to play out. But you

723
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,240
never know in coaching searches, certainly in college football, and look,

724
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:18,440
you don't know with Lane and the situation that he

725
00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,839
was in. So as you're covering this, like, what was

726
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,480
your thought maybe throughout the entire time, Like did you

727
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:25,400
think that it would get to where he got and

728
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:33,000
actually get to the finish line? You know, you never know.

729
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 10: With Lane, you never know, And I think that was

730
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:47,440
sort of Lshoe's worry. I think LSUE officials were pretty confident.

731
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 9: Since probably about a.

732
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 10: Week and a half ago.

733
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 9: I think they got really confident that Lane would be

734
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:03,119
coming after the after the season, and but you just

735
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,079
sort of never know, and I don't I don't necessarily

736
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,200
think anything was signed, but there was sort of a

737
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,240
I think kind of a wink and a nod, maybe

738
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,039
as far back as a week and a half ago

739
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,880
that that he was very seriously considering this and probably

740
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,640
gonna end up coming.

741
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 10: But but again, you are talking about a very unpredictable person, and.

742
00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 9: And so there were there were some plenty of LSU

743
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:40,880
officials who, especially during and after the Egg.

744
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 10: Bowl last Friday, were worried that there could be some

745
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,640
kind of change of change of heart and all that.

746
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 9: So there was always that in the back of think

747
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:55,160
everybody's mind in Baton Rouge.

748
00:33:56,359 --> 00:34:00,119
Speaker 10: But he obviously followed through in.

749
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,839
Speaker 9: The meeting Saturday night, where I wasn't quite in the bushes.

750
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,359
I was in my car and I was in a

751
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,679
parking lot looking over the bushes, I guess you could

752
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,639
say at the Chancellor's house where they were meeting. It

753
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,360
was after that meeting that really things got more finalized.

754
00:34:18,559 --> 00:34:21,599
Elis scheduled at the two planes to come down and

755
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:24,639
come up and pick him up in Oxford, so everything.

756
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,079
Speaker 10: Sort of kind up.

757
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 9: That's when you sort of knew that that Saturday night

758
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:29,239
that it was.

759
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,199
Speaker 4: A definite.

760
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:35,559
Speaker 7: Rossty like as messy as everything kind of seemed to

761
00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:37,920
be from us just kind of watching from the outside,

762
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,239
do you think that, Yeah, of course Lane wanted to

763
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,519
be here and that was that was pretty understood as

764
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,760
everything kind of unfolded throughout this whole process in the

765
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,719
last couple of weeks. But do you think that he

766
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,079
honestly believed he was going to get the opportunity to

767
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,599
continue to coach his team even though he was going

768
00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:53,920
to leave.

769
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:56,679
Speaker 10: I do.

770
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 9: I do, which is for many hard to believe because

771
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,079
I don't know that when I called round and talked

772
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:11,840
to agents and coaches and other athletic directors around the country,

773
00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:15,599
there's not many, if any at all, that would allow

774
00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:19,519
a coach who's leaving for a conference rival to continue

775
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,840
to coach and a post the team their team in

776
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,559
a in a postseason.

777
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 10: It's it's a.

778
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,559
Speaker 9: Different situation than what's going on at Tulane with John

779
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:34,280
Summer all in Florida, in him getting the coach through

780
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,840
the playoffs that say advanced, we're talking about two bitter rivals.

781
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 10: You know that go This rivalry goes back, you know.

782
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:49,119
Speaker 9: Decades, and it's pretty short of nasty already. And so

783
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,880
I in this it was never going to happen where

784
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,519
he was going to be allowed to coach, and in

785
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:58,599
Elmus had made that decision a long time ago that

786
00:35:59,039 --> 00:36:00,719
this was not going to happen. And in Lane, I

787
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,199
think that's the last bit tried to convince them of

788
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,760
that in that meeting at the Chancellor's house Saturday night,

789
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,360
to let him do it, to let him coach some

790
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,039
of the players.

791
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 10: I think did want him to stay on and coach.

792
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:14,480
But again.

793
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 9: I think Lane's in his interview before he left Oxford

794
00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:24,920
yesterday with the ESPN, is that Keith Carter, the ad

795
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:27,480
at ole Miss, has to live in Oxford and he

796
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,400
has to continue in his job. And I think it

797
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:34,519
would be difficult for Keith Carter if he allowed a

798
00:36:34,599 --> 00:36:37,480
coach who's leaving for a conference rival to continue coaching

799
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:39,960
the team. It would be difficult for Keith Carter to

800
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,679
perhaps even remain in his job in Oxford.

801
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 3: Now, Ross, you've covered LSU for long enough, and you

802
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,880
know that, like when you say rivals for LSU, it

803
00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:55,440
kind of changes with generations, like for Flynn and I

804
00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,480
like it's Florida like that was our rival.

805
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 4: You know, depending on who you asked.

806
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,559
Speaker 3: You could have asked my grandfather he goes tou Lane,

807
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:04,480
maybe my dad goes Old Miss. My son's probably go Alabama.

808
00:37:04,559 --> 00:37:07,679
So it's forever changing and we talked about for Texas

809
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,880
A and M. It took seven overtimes for that to

810
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,320
become an actual thing because before it felt forced like

811
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,079
for a lot of generations, they're you know, LSU Ole

812
00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:18,639
Miss doesn't mean as much to them as it does

813
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:24,000
to others. I think this now gives every generation a

814
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:26,000
reason to call this a true rival and it's a

815
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:29,000
permanent opponent, Like do you agree with that that? Yes,

816
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:31,199
they've you know, not liked each other for a long time,

817
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,960
but now this brings everybody to the table.

818
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 4: For sure.

819
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 10: And I think, you know, LSU plays at ole Miss

820
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:42,039
next year.

821
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,199
Speaker 9: And we saw what happened when Lane Kiffen returned to

822
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,199
Tennessee and is maybe his second year, third year in

823
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,639
Oxford when he returned there for the first time since

824
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:57,280
he had left maybe ten years before, and that was

825
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,480
a ten year gap, and we saw that get pretty

826
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:00,440
nasty were.

827
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 10: Thrown at him on the field.

828
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 9: You can imagine less than a year later him returning

829
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,639
to Oxford. You know that that's that's gonna be quite

830
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:17,760
a spectacle. And I think this rivalry up there. If

831
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,079
there was any kind of doubt that there was this

832
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,199
rivalry between these two programs, uh I think.

833
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 10: That's out of the window now. I think that the

834
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,119
Lane has made made.

835
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 9: Sure that in his his sort of actions and words,

836
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:37,360
that this rivalry will continue on and get.

837
00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:39,679
Speaker 10: More intense.

838
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 7: So yeah, ross this old situation has been so polarizing

839
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,440
and it is so glaring because of how this is

840
00:38:46,519 --> 00:38:50,679
all unfolded like it brings. Usually it takes something like

841
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,159
this for change to be brought about. And of course

842
00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:55,159
there's debate all over the country about like how to

843
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,639
fix what's the what's the fix for college football to

844
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,800
scheduling the calendar year college football?

845
00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:03,159
Speaker 4: In your mind? What needs to be fixed? And is

846
00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:04,079
it even possible?

847
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 9: Well, it's it's hard. I know everybody wants, uh, you know,

848
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,920
fix is done in the calendar, but it's it's not

849
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:19,800
that easy and uh And partly it's not that easy

850
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,920
because you have an entity in major college football that

851
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:30,639
is evolving into a professional entity, but it's still tethered

852
00:39:31,559 --> 00:39:35,039
to higher education in a university, and it's still tethered

853
00:39:35,079 --> 00:39:40,840
to a university's calendar, an academic calendar, And that's what

854
00:39:41,039 --> 00:39:45,719
makes makes things really different difficult. That plus the fact

855
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:54,199
that college athletics resist the urge to completely evolve professionally

856
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:59,519
by having a collective bargaining agreement for example, or or

857
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,639
any kind of more binding contracts and things like that

858
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,039
with players, and that that that sort of impacts.

859
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 10: All of this as well.

860
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 9: So I don't know what they can really do. They

861
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,559
have changed a lot in the.

862
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:18,599
Speaker 10: Last few years.

863
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 9: They moved back to transfer portal to January from December,

864
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,480
and they were hoping that that would sort of slow

865
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,320
the what had become an accelerated coaching firing cycle and

866
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,280
firing cycle.

867
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 10: It didn't work, right.

868
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 9: This is the this is the most accelerated it's ever been.

869
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,880
And I think part of the reason behind that is,

870
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,840
you know, despite the transfer porting moving moving to January,

871
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,360
that you know, the signing day is still Wednesday. This

872
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,360
Wednesday is still in the first week of December. And

873
00:40:56,159 --> 00:41:00,199
let's face it, you know, after the season, moves and

874
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,559
player moves and decisions happen, and you're not even if

875
00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:07,360
you put it off to January, the portal opening, that's

876
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:08,000
still not going to.

877
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 10: Change when players make decisions. So teams are.

878
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 9: Being arranged and remade right now, even when even though

879
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,960
the portal is moved to January.

880
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:25,079
Speaker 3: Cauz Omber, the guy Ross dellens Aer here on OTB

881
00:41:25,199 --> 00:41:27,880
all right, ross last one before we let you go

882
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,800
from a on the field perspective, right, So you have

883
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Lane Kiffin now the offensive staff. There's a report out

884
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,960
there that Blake Baker is going to be retained as well.

885
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:39,079
So you got Lane Kiffin on one side, Blake Baker

886
00:41:39,519 --> 00:41:41,840
on the other. Do you think in your opinion that

887
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,599
this gets LSU back to where they want to be

888
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:45,840
as soon as next year?

889
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 9: Well, I think if you just look at the results

890
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,440
of Lane Kiffin in what he's done with programs in

891
00:41:58,559 --> 00:42:01,920
his coaching career, especially the last you know, sort of

892
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,960
few years, you know, you you usually don't have to

893
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:11,239
wait too long for him to show success. Even even

894
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,639
years ago, at his time at Tennessee and USC UH

895
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,039
they were pretty it was pretty quick success. I mean,

896
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:22,559
I think his second year at usc won ten games.

897
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,440
His first year at Florida Atlantic he won eleven games.

898
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,840
His second year at ole Miss he won ten games.

899
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,679
His first year at ole Miss was five or five.

900
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,000
It was the COVID year though, so there's a little

901
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:40,800
bit of an outlier there. So it's virtually everywhere he's

902
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,719
been pretty quickly.

903
00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:44,519
Speaker 10: He has taken a team.

904
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 9: To a double digit sort of win mark And you

905
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,239
know he's got the players here on the team now,

906
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,679
but he's certainly going to be recruiting.

907
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 10: To LSU and LSU as we all know, kind of

908
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:01,119
cruits itself.

909
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 9: And so he will have the best players he's probably

910
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,639
ever had, even though you know he has been at

911
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:08,119
Tennessee as being at USC and Olmos did a great

912
00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:11,440
job with nil and with player acquisition. But I think

913
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,480
it's safe to say that he'll have the best athletes

914
00:43:13,519 --> 00:43:14,320
he's ever had here.

915
00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 10: And so you would think, based on his.

916
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,559
Speaker 9: Past success who he would have a lot of success

917
00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:22,760
with those really good athletes. And it's one of the

918
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,840
reasons he took the job.

919
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 3: All right there, He is that guy, Ross Dellinger, I mean,

920
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,320
had this thing covered from every angle.

921
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,119
Speaker 4: Does a great job for Yahoo Sports.

922
00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:33,239
