The Hokies took a trip down to Miami and while the game itself had some ups and downs the ultimate result was another conference loss for Virginia Tech. The JC Price led Hokies showed fight after falling behind early but ran out of gas in the fourth quarter to fall to the 'Canes 38-26. We recap the matchup as well as share our breakdown of the possible candidates for head football coach at Virginia Tech.
1
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,500
Welcome back to the boundary on
a podcast with my partner, Brian
2
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:54,000
Segal.
I'm Curtis Wilson, Brian.
3
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:55,700
Go ahead.
Do it.
4
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Before we start do it.
I need to see it.
5
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,800
I need to see it surrender,
Cobra, man.
6
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,000
Yeah, your boy courtesy here is
putting a little bit of a beat
7
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,900
down on me right now.
Not not confirmed yet, but I'm
8
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:14,300
in a position where essentially
his next three players have to
9
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,200
score.
Absolutely.
10
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,600
Thing for me to win, so it ain't
happening.
11
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,800
I'm taking the Yale Solomon it.
It's all good.
12
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,500
It's it hasn't been my year.
Injuries of crush me, guys, on
13
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:28,800
the covid list of crush.
Me.
14
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,400
It just hasn't been the
championship.
15
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
You know?
Your guys aren't as focused.
16
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,000
Yeah.
Yes, I asked you you took home
17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,900
everything.
You were what 11 and 2 in the
18
00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:46,900
regular season 11 and to it.
Yeah, I crush the regular season
19
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,600
and then smoke the playoffs it.
What?
20
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
He's looking the playoffs.
Thank you on, by 30 ghost games
21
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,300
last year in the playoffs.
I don't like it was it like a
22
00:01:54,308 --> 00:01:57,100
game, it wasn't like brown was
sitting here on pins and needles
23
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,900
on a Monday night.
It was like I'm yeah absolutely
24
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,300
Squad last year and nobody was
really injured much.
25
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:07,300
So no not many in that helps.
You had a good balance.
26
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,600
You took a few risk here and
there you know the way you play
27
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,100
Fantasy like we all should but
you know I got to just throw
28
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:17,300
that in.
And there we had photos of our
29
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:23,800
teams, had a good day.
Both teams winning your Colts,
30
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:28,300
put a SmackDown on the bills.
I mean, yeah, that was that was
31
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,000
big.
Jonathan Taylor for MVP ladies
32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,800
and Gentlemen.
Let's go ahead, Hank and I mean
33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,700
for more touchdowns today,
right?
34
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:43,800
55 he got a fit.
Yeah, so yeah, you guys are now
35
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:47,700
right outside the wall.
Wildcard, the Niners.
36
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,800
And he went for over 200
all-purpose, rushing and
37
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000
receiving, he's really good.
And with the Titans losing y'all
38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,900
inch up in the division.
Every yeah, I mean, the only
39
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,600
downside is that we got to be a
full game ahead of them to
40
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,600
actually take the division.
It's not, it's no tiebreaker.
41
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,600
We don't own the, the advantage
there.
42
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,500
So we got to be a full game
ahead of them.
43
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,800
So that's the downside.
But the upside is, we just got a
44
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,600
game closer to that, it's true.
And And in the next few weeks
45
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,800
they've got Patriots Jaguar,
Steelers, 49ers, yeah, they've
46
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,100
got like a 3 and 2 record
potentially out of that.
47
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,800
And then y'all got, let's see.
The Buccaneers next week.
48
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Texans Patriots Cardinals.
Y'all got to run for path to get
49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,100
there especially if you know
Kyler and the boys get get
50
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:44,100
healthy there and they ended up
playing well today, even even
51
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,400
without Murray, they played
well.
52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,600
So it shows you the importance
in any division in football of
53
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,000
having a good backup
quarterback, right?
54
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:57,000
That likes the one you can
depend on.
55
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,000
I mean, dean or cult solid but
he still even you know, getting
56
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600
a little bit older he still can
move a little bit so he still
57
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,400
can run most more or less the
full complement of that offense
58
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,200
and and get things done so
that's helped them.
59
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,899
And you get a you get a veteran
like that that still takes care
60
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:22,700
of the football, but still can
do everything you need in that
61
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:25,100
offense.
That's what's big for them.
62
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,200
It's very true, man.
It's very true and it's you
63
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,200
again.
It just shows.
64
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,200
The importance of it again, all
levels of football and we get to
65
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000
talk about it.
Some tonight we have and do the
66
00:04:36,008 --> 00:04:40,700
Hokies here.
And let's just dive into it,
67
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:45,200
Braun.
Let's start you know, 38:26
68
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:50,000
loss, right?
My mind didn't fool me a tea and
69
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,200
3826.
I got that wrote down here
70
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,200
because I did not.
Maybe it was just having a bit.
71
00:04:58,300 --> 00:04:59,900
Busy day and it was a late
night.
72
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,300
It was a loss.
I didn't stay up and like, fever
73
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,000
over it and read a million
posts.
74
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:14,700
It ended had some family in town
taking like them, went to bed
75
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:18,700
fell asleep.
Yeah, I think a lot of this is
76
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:20,700
because we know what's coming
next.
77
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,400
Yeah, so we're not we're not
necessarily sweating.
78
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:28,800
The outcomes at this point, we
more or less want.
79
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,800
To see this team play hard play
play as good as they can, to
80
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,800
close this out, and hopefully,
get a game or two in the in the
81
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,300
win column as they go about
that, to really kind of bring
82
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:47,500
things home on a positive note.
But, you know, I think the
83
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:53,600
expectations are Kids play hard
and see what happens.
84
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,500
So we at least got part of that
out of the equation.
85
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,600
And I like some of the things I
saw from j.c. from a leadership
86
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,300
standpoint.
Again, this isn't something he's
87
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:07,100
doing long-term but I like I
like the the fact that he was
88
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:12,700
out there, you know, take taking
some chances putting putting,
89
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:17,100
putting the guys in calculated
risk situations to get back in
90
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,500
the Ballgame, once they fell
behind early and they Did the
91
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,900
onside kick is probably what
Brian's really talking about the
92
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,700
biggest.
It was a great play at the time,
93
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:30,300
it worked, it pulled us right
back in the ball game again,
94
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:32,800
calculated risk.
I know some people saying they
95
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,200
thought, the defense wasn't
playing hard.
96
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,200
I didn't see that.
I felt like the defense was
97
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800
playing hard.
I think they made some really
98
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,100
critical mistakes, but it wasn't
for lack of effort.
99
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:47,600
So, I did not see a team quit
last night that could
100
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,900
potentially happen when you had
what happened this week.
101
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:53,200
Week JC again.
You said it, calculated risks
102
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,100
made it, you know, the two-point
conversion.
103
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,300
I know it was an argument last
night.
104
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:00,400
Several places.
Why are we going for two?
105
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:05,300
I was okay with it where it
where you had the momentum, the
106
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:10,400
play call was to be desired,
which we gonna be a bigger issue
107
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,800
with the play called in the
decision.
108
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,300
There we were late enough in the
game.
109
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,400
At that point, I don't have a
big problem chasing points there
110
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:22,200
just because you do, you get it
down to a field goal.
111
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:28,500
Game versus a touchdown game, it
set yourself up there, so I
112
00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:30,700
don't have a problem with that
necessarily.
113
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Lee.
No, none.
114
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,900
None with it.
And again, him in the press or
115
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,200
afterwards, I didn't get to see
everything.
116
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,300
So awesome.
Quote took full responsibility
117
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:41,900
said.
No Asterix on this.
118
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:46,000
We lost the game.
You know and that's kind of what
119
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400
you want to hear.
Lost the game.
120
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,900
Nothing special about it.
It was my duty to go out there
121
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:56,800
and win the game and we lost.
Yeah, so you know, we've already
122
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,700
felt better about the if anybody
wants the pressure.
123
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,400
On Thursday.
We already talked about the
124
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,200
injury thing AC was quickly.
Very open and upfront about what
125
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:12,500
happened about what's going on
especially with Trey not Shadow
126
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:14,700
games or I don't know what's
happening.
127
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:17,200
You knew what was happening.
All you have to do is we'll see
128
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,500
you Saturday.
Yeah it was.
129
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,100
This is what's going on.
This is why he's doing it.
130
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:24,800
This is what's this is what it
is, and then we're going to keep
131
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400
it moving.
So we're going to see the more
132
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,500
interesting to see Monday.
Which will definitely be
133
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:33,799
watching that especially with
what, you know, what transpired
134
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,500
with tray.
But let's flip it round.
135
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,600
Let's start with the defense
because the defense had a
136
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,299
blunders worth of stuff.
It was yeah, it was probably
137
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,000
probably one of their worst
outings in a while probably
138
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
since That will Syracuse.
Probably Syracuse.
139
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:57,700
Yeah, and Sarah, but Syracuse
was more of a death by a
140
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:03,100
Thousand Cuts after a while.
Whereas you know this seem like
141
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,900
like they it seemed like they
were down this, they were down
142
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:09,300
from the get-go.
Yeah, they got they got there.
143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,500
They got their dicks kicked in
the dirt early and then it took
144
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:18,800
them a long time to get out
there and by the Time they
145
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,800
finally rally.
The offense was doing a little
146
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,100
bit, but it looked like it was
too little too late and then a
147
00:09:23,108 --> 00:09:25,900
couple more big plays happen to
kind of cap things off.
148
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:31,800
I'm writing that one down here.
Brian Dick's kicked in the dirt.
149
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:42,500
Put it on a t-shirt.
Yeah, I'm gonna say this your
150
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:44,200
version.
Which you were the Catalyst for
151
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,700
bronze.
Usually the Catalyst for the
152
00:09:45,708 --> 00:09:49,000
versions just because of his
background and playing, Thing
153
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:52,000
after my thoughts in there but
you crushed it.
154
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,400
I'll tip the cap.
Everything you said that we
155
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,400
needed to do the things.
We didn't do good it absolutely
156
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,400
cost us.
The game will start with the one
157
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,300
thing we did do good and I'm
going to ask you for a great.
158
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,400
Let's start with gap, Integrity.
Brian.
159
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,100
I mean, the rush defense and of
this wasn't really a good Miami
160
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,600
rushing team.
Only averaging about 135 yards
161
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,200
game and we completely snuffed
it out.
162
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:19,400
You know, 57 yards on six
carries.
163
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,700
What did you see?
What are you grading?
164
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,000
I guess?
Essentially the front seven and
165
00:10:23,008 --> 00:10:24,500
the team as a whole for Gap
Integrity.
166
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,500
Yeah.
This is probably one of their
167
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,900
better games overall.
I'm going to give them, I'd say
168
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:33,700
it's B plus a minus range and
I'm going to give a big
169
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:39,500
shout-out to Keyshawn artist who
was a big part of why we were
170
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:43,000
able to kind of keep some of
those potential first downs and
171
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,500
not and really one that should
have been a no first down that
172
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:51,600
turned into one on that.
That fourth down that got
173
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,000
spotted in a full half yard off.
Like it should, it should it
174
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,800
wasn't even close.
It was terrible 5 and it was
175
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,900
reviewed and what they even
better.
176
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,500
Come on said today, there was
this perfect angle.
177
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,900
You can see where the ball was
like if you stopped it like this
178
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,000
is where the line is.
This is where the ball is and
179
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,100
you put ball on the line and I
get they can't like for whatever
180
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,500
reason.
It has to be a full speed.
181
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,300
Look the when they look at it,
whatever.
182
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:26,500
But I just I don't I don't get
that.
183
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,000
But again, let's get back to
what we're talking about here.
184
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
So gapper Integrity again,
Keyshawn artist was was really
185
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,700
the, the big difference here.
He played a majority of the
186
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:40,900
snaps out there, and he really
did a good job of stepping up in
187
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,900
the gap.
Giving a hard shoulder, really?
188
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:49,200
Not letting the point of contact
drive him back anymore.
189
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,800
So, where wherever he was
getting the stick, that's where
190
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600
the tackle was made.
And I think that's the
191
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,000
difference between some of our
other linebackers is that when
192
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000
he hits you, you go down.
It's true.
193
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,900
He does bring the Thunder and he
brings the Thunder but he also
194
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:09,200
has pretty good form.
He had Thunders, he gets form.
195
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,200
It's not.
I'm gonna, you see a lot of
196
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,500
guys, they bring the Thunder and
they're not essentially rapping.
197
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:21,000
He does when he hits he still
under control and I think that's
198
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,100
awesome.
A lot of players struggle, with
199
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,200
either being bringing the bring
the lumber or forming up and
200
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,100
being under control of the
tackle, And he does a good job
201
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:36,400
of kind of finding that balance
where he can still bring a pop.
202
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,100
But but not really put himself
in a bad position.
203
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,700
Yeah, and I'm going to say this
and I know some people are going
204
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:43,200
to scream.
Well, they did all this other
205
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,000
stuff better.
They won the game but here's the
206
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,600
issue.
The reason we had that chance in
207
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,800
the second half is they couldn't
establish a wrong.
208
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,800
They couldn't establish a run at
all compared to this game could
209
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,400
have been hit right where we had
no shot because the Gap
210
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,100
Integrity sucked and they
started running the ball at will
211
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,600
taking long drives.
Even if they didn't score, they
212
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,500
break the break, the 40 punnet
deep and we weren't doing
213
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:17,800
anything offensively that game.
So, So what I'd ask people to do
214
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,500
is go back.
Think about the game.
215
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,900
If this isn't happening decent,
we don't have a fighting chance.
216
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,200
Now, the rain starts coming
down, they can't quite sling, it
217
00:13:27,208 --> 00:13:31,900
around as much as they want to
and they could run the ball, so
218
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:35,800
won't and that that enabled us
to get some some plays on
219
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,500
offense and get down the field a
couple times.
220
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,700
Have the big onside kick there.
I mean, there are several things
221
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:46,700
in there where that helped us
really get Back into that game
222
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:49,100
because it really could have
went far south.
223
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,100
If we were struggling in both
phases there.
224
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:57,000
So kudos to the the defensive
line in the linebackers, like I
225
00:13:57,008 --> 00:13:59,500
said, in particular, shout out
to Keyshawn artist.
226
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:02,100
Probably my player the game on
defense.
227
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:06,300
Nothing really negative to say
about his play and like I said,
228
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:09,600
I think overall front seven did
a decent job.
229
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:14,900
It's the secondary where well
unfortunately things started
230
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,100
falling apart.
Art, well yeah, the other thing
231
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:22,000
you said Brian was we have to
limit the big plays and okay, we
232
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,400
gave up two touchdowns over 50
yards.
233
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:30,000
I'm one but two Harley's 55
Smith, 75 literally one play
234
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,800
after we scored a touchdown,
they take it right back to where
235
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,600
it was.
Then you had Rambo had a
236
00:14:36,608 --> 00:14:40,200
39-yard.
ER George had a 32 yarder Rambo.
237
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,700
Let us up all game. 7 for 116,
we talked about him, we talked
238
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:47,900
about how highly Everybody was
how he had solid numbers at
239
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:51,300
Oklahoma.
He went over 1,000 this weekend,
240
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:56,300
that's really making it making
himself some money this year and
241
00:14:56,300 --> 00:15:02,200
then Van Dyke 375, three
touchdowns, Brian, let's hear a
242
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
your grade and then what exactly
was happening.
243
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,900
I mean, it's got to be an F,
right?
244
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:11,600
I mean, you can't give up that
many big plays and, and get a
245
00:15:11,608 --> 00:15:14,600
passing grade, and it was a lot
of things.
246
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:20,600
Number one, probably the worst
game of Jermaine wohlers career.
247
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:25,100
Yep.
And it was a, he had a very bad
248
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:28,900
first half and he only had an
okay second half.
249
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,100
Yeah.
And I'm not sure what was going
250
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:38,100
on but it was, it was little
things and big things.
251
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:41,400
It was like some some of it look
like efforts on.
252
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,400
Would look like techniques on
would just look like He's, you
253
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,500
know, he just got beat like
though.
254
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:49,900
It was kind of a little bit of a
mixed bag of everything, which
255
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:51,800
was kind of odd.
Like usually, if somebody is
256
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,300
injured, he looks like he's
injured and there were a couple
257
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:56,700
times where he was hopping
around after a play.
258
00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:00,000
Especially, I think there was
one, throw down the sideline on
259
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,900
a fade to Rambo that he got
called for PID, came up limping
260
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:07,400
right after that.
So I don't know if he's just not
261
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,300
quite there and some some of
that's best in with his mental,
262
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,700
but he's getting beaten, a bunch
of different ways. is that is
263
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,200
Can I say this?
Yeah, I think mental, you said
264
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400
it their mental.
And if you think about the first
265
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,300
big play of the game for Miami
that it was a 30, it was the 39
266
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:28,600
yard or two Rambo, he played.
Absolutely perfect coverage.
267
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:32,100
It was just a perfectly thrown
ball in a perfect catch.
268
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,700
Yeah, down the right.
Sideline and my question kind of
269
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:41,500
goes back, go back to yourself.
You're playing, you play a
270
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,200
perfect technique, play
Everything.
271
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Perfect.
And some guy just gets you
272
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,200
beats.
You sexy quarterback.
273
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:49,300
Yeah.
In that first play.
274
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:52,500
I mean, I mean that was
literally early in the game.
275
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,100
Can that be one of those things
that's just in your head, the
276
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:00,500
rest of the game and then you
awkwardly, you know, step on
277
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,400
your foot and the mental part of
Well they've already hit me.
278
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,800
I'm already played perfect
coverage.
279
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,599
I stepped on my foot wrong.
That doesn't feel right.
280
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,200
I got a pi call.
The next thing.
281
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,200
You know it's all up here and
I'm the coach's job too good for
282
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,800
this has been kind of going on
the last couple weeks, though,
283
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,800
because he had what three Pi is
against Duke.
284
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:28,300
He wasn't great.
I know some of those were one
285
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:33,300
legit Pia to.
I get that, I get that but It,
286
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,800
you know, some of this have
been, he's had some rough games,
287
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,800
the last three weeks, this is
just happen to be the one where
288
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,100
we couldn't, there was a
quarterback and a receiver that
289
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:48,700
can make him pay for it.
And and it happened.
290
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,700
And you know, it's sad to say,
like I said, I don't know if
291
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:56,500
this is just one or two bad
plays and the mental spilling
292
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:00,300
over into the physical that
definitely can happen, you know,
293
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:02,700
the whole thing, don't let one
bad play.
294
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,300
Beat you twice.
It seems to be kind of the the,
295
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,500
the thread here.
But he wasn't the only one that
296
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,600
was struggling out there in the
secondary.
297
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,700
We had obviously early, we lost,
we lost a daily.
298
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:19,800
So we ended up kind of having to
go different directions in the
299
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,300
safety area there.
So that's two fold, right?
300
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,200
So, Not only are you having to
have another guy on there for
301
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,100
more snaps, but you're not able
to give them as many as many
302
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,100
blows either.
So, is many blows.
303
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:35,100
We taught the targeting real
quick.
304
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Yeah, and I watched the pit, you
be a game second one.
305
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Same way, it was shoulder.
It was no ill intent, it was no
306
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,000
real pardoning.
It was just one of those things.
307
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,700
I'm going to throw my shoulder
into him.
308
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,500
Is it got down to my shoulder
level?
309
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,700
If you want, what do we always
say?
310
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:56,100
We go back again.
This is what the went.
311
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:59,000
They said and this is actually,
do you want to call that a
312
00:18:59,008 --> 00:19:02,200
15-yard penalty?
Sure, right.
313
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,900
Hey, that's fine.
A hit to the Head.
314
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:11,300
Fine essentially, may God's goal
or ejections for that.
315
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,900
It's bullshit.
And it's got to somehow get
316
00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:18,100
fixed in the next year or so,
Tay daily and the kid from pit
317
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:19,400
should have never been off the
field.
318
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,600
In those games, I'm going to say
Say something wild almost like
319
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,500
something.
Wild here.
320
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,200
I want the referee to have
discretion as to whether
321
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,500
something is intentional or not
and that can be the
322
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:34,800
differentiating factor between
an arc between what between
323
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,300
ejection and just unnecessary
roughness.
324
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:45,100
And the reason I say that is
because we've gotten to a point
325
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:51,400
where You're losing players that
all they did were was making a
326
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,500
football play.
Yeah, no ill intent.
327
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:58,700
No launching, no headhunting,
just trying to make like, this
328
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,600
is a guy trying to just put a
strong shoulder into a guy, to
329
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200
finish off a tackle, and all of
a sudden he drops his head.
330
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600
And there's a, there's a new
Zone there and the defender
331
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,600
can't change.
I mean, it's a bang.
332
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Bang, play.
The Defender has zero time to
333
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,400
recognize what's happening?
And it should because I think
334
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,500
that did hurt us on the back
end.
335
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,300
Because how early was that in
the game?
336
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,500
I'm trying to look through my
notes Here, second Drive.
337
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,800
I think it was 73 when that
happened, I think.
338
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,300
And get my notes Here.
Yeah, guys.
339
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,900
We keep notes.
Believe it or not?
340
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:43,900
I'm nerdy.
We are because it wasn't the
341
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:46,400
first drive.
Now, I'm pretty sure it was the
342
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,600
second drive.
If it wasn't was the third
343
00:20:54,900 --> 00:21:01,700
Either way, either way it was
garbage, it was garbage and it
344
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:03,600
definitely hurt us, especially
on the back end.
345
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,900
It's experiences.
Take daily in putting more
346
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:06,900
inexperienced guys.
In.
347
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,300
All right.
Other thing Brown, you talked
348
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:13,700
about was keep behind the sticks
and and I'm going to say this
349
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,400
when we did, keep them behind
the sticks, they struggled and
350
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,700
that was a way.
I in the third quarter and early
351
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,200
part of the fourth that we got
back in this game because of
352
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:35,400
that, but still the money stops.
You know, 7 for 13, including
353
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600
the fourth down.
Stop that wasn't a stop.
354
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,200
So they were over, you know,
over fifty percent.
355
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:50,200
So Even though it was critical.
What are you graded?
356
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:57,200
I mean d.c. - maybe I'm gonna go
see - you know it depends on how
357
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,400
much credit you want to give
them for the fourth down.
358
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,600
That wasn't think that's whether
you go see your D here overall
359
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,800
it wasn't bad and I think some
of it we've benefited from you
360
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,900
that period you know, late
second into the majority of the
361
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:16,400
third quarter where they weren't
able to just sling it deep
362
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,700
because some of the weather
there.
363
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:21,800
So we've The fitted from that
and that I think that kind of
364
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,000
stacks the the great a little
bit there for us.
365
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,200
So it could have been much worse
potentially if they were able to
366
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,200
play their game the whole time
you guys.
367
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,000
But yeah about to keep him
behind the sticks.
368
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,500
Do you think?
I'm going to say this was
369
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,000
jehan's worst game, he called
how many times we were in the
370
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,900
wrong coverage for the potential
because it seemed like, every
371
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:50,200
time we were getting big deep
downfield.
372
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,700
I feel like a couple times.
It was like cover to a couple
373
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,300
times.
It was like a cover one.
374
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:59,900
We're playing straight man.
And you always mentioned you
375
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:02,500
like quarters recovered three
look especially against
376
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:07,500
downfield passing teams because
Delta passing teams having those
377
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:11,500
guys back. 15 20 yards, he has
to anticipate right?
378
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,400
Yep.
Why was hand mixing it?
379
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,700
I know on the Harley play.
The Cub the touchdown we were in
380
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:25,000
cover two.
And I asked you earlier about
381
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,300
this so kind of give your
explanation it should have been
382
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,400
a touchdown, but should we have
really been in cover two?
383
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,300
I mean, we're uncovered to
occasionally.
384
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:38,100
We, we usually mix it with the
cover to man under look, which I
385
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,100
would have been okay with there
because at least you would
386
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:46,400
probably not have Dax matched up
on a parlor here as they
387
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,700
essentially.
So so dax's responsibility is is
388
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:56,500
to carry up the seam as deep as
he can and in this case he did a
389
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:01,200
pretty good job of limiting the
space underneath to throw that
390
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,200
The problem is that there's
supposed to be another safety on
391
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,800
top of it, but Jenkins got
caught looking in the backfield
392
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,000
and was chasing the play.
Instead of being on top of the
393
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,600
the route there and so he was
out of position to be able to
394
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,100
come up there.
That's a play that was probably
395
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,800
going to be a 30-yard Gainer
anyway but it turned into a
396
00:24:23,808 --> 00:24:26,400
touchdown because Jenkins was
out of position.
397
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,600
All right.
Like I said I would have
398
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,100
preferred more of that man under
Look, I would prefer to us to
399
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,400
once we realize they were
slinging it all night.
400
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:41,300
Go into a true nickel and while
essentially have artists out
401
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:47,600
there with with Connor and index
off the field, not know knock
402
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,000
and acts but artist is now our
best run linebacker keep him on
403
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,800
there and then then roll out.
Connor at the backer and then
404
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,800
get your extra corners on the
field there.
405
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,700
That would have been what I
would have done, it would have
406
00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:07,700
helped somewhat.
But again, we were still in
407
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,800
coverages at wrong times, we
were still blowing coverages
408
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:15,900
blowing assignments, it was kind
of a mixed bag of everything
409
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,600
that could possibly go wrong in
the secondary true and it all
410
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,700
happened in one game, it did.
And you talk about blown
411
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,300
coverage is something else.
You made a big point of on
412
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:27,600
Wednesday night.
Was we've got to make them
413
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000
settle for three.
Will they got down there four
414
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,100
times?
We only held them.
415
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:35,900
The three once on two of the
touchdowns it was absolutely
416
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:40,700
blown coverages.
The one to the tight end
417
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:43,400
Mallory.
Somebody completely vacated that
418
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,400
side, am are eroding up.
There was no one there so once
419
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,500
he got by Mari and there's no
one vacating that whoever was
420
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,300
supposed to be back there
vacated The Zone, it was an easy
421
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:56,000
pitch for Van Dyke and then the
other one, I know you talked
422
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,600
about Keshawn artist on the
other touchdown, close to the
423
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,900
goal line, he blew It was a
little play-action fake.
424
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:05,600
He stuck his head in right
outside.
425
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,100
He, it was in his own.
You could tell it was and that's
426
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,900
you say what you want to say.
If I can't go back and say,
427
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:17,900
well, if they had been in there,
right Zone?
428
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,200
Does it result in three?
Not seven, don't know.
429
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:26,400
But it gets hard to say the
Mallory play was interesting
430
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,000
because you had, you had two
guys there and it looked like it
431
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:38,500
was I think whoever had the the
curls own was playing a little
432
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,500
too shallow and then Waller got
in no man's land where he could
433
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,000
decide.
If he was going to stay deep to
434
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600
make sure he didn't let
something Creek behind him or
435
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,200
come up, and get Mallory.
And by the time, he decided to
436
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,100
come and get Mallory was too,
late way too late.
437
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,200
And that was on a, that was on a
field side blitz.
438
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,600
So your best pass rusher in bar.
No, is riding up now.
439
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,800
Hurry up the sidelines in that
case, right?
440
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,300
Yep.
Yeah.
441
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:09,400
And like I said, I'd have to
look at the tape again to see
442
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800
who had that other that other
part of the Zone there.
443
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,900
But yeah, Walter got kind of in,
no man's land and just didn't
444
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:20,400
make the right choice there.
I think if he realized that
445
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,000
there wasn't anyone, coming
across the field behind him.
446
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,800
He would have probably came up
and made a play.
447
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:29,000
Probably could have had a pic if
he, you know, recognize the the
448
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,400
route on time.
But, you know, I think he was
449
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,800
thinking too much on that one.
Very true.
450
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:38,700
All right, Brian.
So overall defense it was just
451
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:43,800
not a good night for those guys
regardless they had their
452
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,400
moments that dead us, get back
into it but essentially they
453
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,900
gave up another couple late that
essentially put the game away
454
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:53,800
from Miami.
Let's let's go to another unit
455
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,300
that had been the best unit.
We've had all year our special
456
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:01,200
teams unit as far as it goes.
For the return coverages.
457
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:04,800
I mean definitely their worst 86
yards on kickoff.
458
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,900
Turn 65 on punt, returns, and
mean that's 150 plus yards.
459
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:15,800
That is a ton of field position
with a defense that's
460
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:21,400
struggling.
And it looked like just to me,
461
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:26,600
not really.
It wasn't like really bad play
462
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,900
that play calls.
You only have so many it.
463
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:31,600
Look, just like terrible
technique and terrible leverage.
464
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:36,900
Every single time.
Yeah, there was one, the big,
465
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:41,200
the one long kickoff.
Looks like guy got out of got of
466
00:28:41,208 --> 00:28:45,100
his Lane, got blocked a little
bit and it just opened up there
467
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:49,200
was a crease there.
We have one that thankfully got
468
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,300
called back.
It was an awful night for the
469
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:58,800
coverage, man.
I just think that for something
470
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,100
that's been a strength, all
year.
471
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,500
It's odd to see that that
breakdown.
472
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,500
And I don't know if it was
leveraged, I don't know if it
473
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:08,200
was you know some of it was
leverage.
474
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Some of it could have been.
All right.
475
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,400
You got the element you're
dealing with that.
476
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,300
But I mean everybody else is
dealing with that too.
477
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:15,400
Yeah.
You can't really use that as an
478
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,500
excuse.
You just got to go out there and
479
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,700
try to do better next time.
Well, after the first punt
480
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:22,400
return.
Turn.
481
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:24,300
Yeah, that was the sealer right
there.
482
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:31,100
Yeah, sorry, it's okay.
Herbert Herbert to Eckler and
483
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,900
steel, bronze fate.
Sorry, bud.
484
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:39,500
But the first punt return.
Like, we have the guy trap and
485
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:44,100
for some reason, They can't
remember the number, but the guy
486
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,600
seems to step left and I'm
sitting like why are you
487
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,200
stepping left?
Right is all of the open field.
488
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:52,200
All you need to do is step
right?
489
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,800
And force them back up inside.
At least he's going towards the
490
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,500
sideline, he stepped left.
He went right around.
491
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:01,300
And next, it was a 40-yard game
and they were already having
492
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,300
success.
So, you know, you gotta
493
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:06,800
understand where your Leverage
is, and where your help is.
494
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,700
And that's an instance of
missing both.
495
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:14,700
Now, I would I would find it
Interesting, you know, to see
496
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,700
how many younger guys.
If this was one of those things
497
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:22,000
where well it's late in the
season we need to start gluing
498
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
some guys, some PT, you know,
essentially they're not that
499
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,300
weird.
They're going to even if we go
500
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:29,900
to a bowl game, they're going to
get their red shirt.
501
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,300
So I wonder if that was part of
it, I might look back on some of
502
00:30:34,308 --> 00:30:37,600
the condensed versions.
See if we can find out who they
503
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:43,100
were on those and see if it was,
maybe lesser Not lesser skilled
504
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,600
guys.
But lesser got guys with lesser
505
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:50,200
PT on the field less
experienced, folks.
506
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Yeah, Special Teams.
You.
507
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,600
Yeah, it could be I tend to
unless it's somebody that I
508
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,700
recognized right off.
I tend to not pay a ton of to of
509
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:02,500
attention to who's making the
plays on special teams as long
510
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:07,000
as they are made, especially on
some of those coverages just
511
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,300
because you don't see quite as
many Star.
512
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:15,100
There's all those units.
Absolutely sorry, brother.
513
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:19,400
Let's flip over to the offense.
Now, we're rolling here about 30
514
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,400
minutes, deep, let's talk about
the rushing offense.
515
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,900
If you had had to go somewhere,
didn't get to see the game.
516
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:31,100
But I texted, you Braun 43,
rushing 227 yards over five.
517
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:34,700
Carry the seems good, right?
That seems about what I was
518
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:38,700
hoping for in the game.
But then if I told you, well,
519
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:42,800
Thomas got seven carries raheen
Got Two Carries The ACC running
520
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,300
back of the week last week.
Got to carries Keshawn King got
521
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:50,900
to carries.
And then I told you blumrich and
522
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:54,000
Bebe.
Got blumrich 30 bb10.
523
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,800
Tell me what would be in your
mind?
524
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,800
And what would you want to do to
certain people?
525
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:08,700
Yeah, this is a big problem.
So let's talk about a few things
526
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,600
because there there's, there's
layers to this, right?
527
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,900
Well, it's a little like it.
It's so, and I'm good with
528
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:17,100
plumber, getting out there.
And the way that we started, the
529
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:20,000
game plumber CAD packages that
he was coming in.
530
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
There was like, you know, the
wild turkey.
531
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,300
There was some other, the other
things that he was doing just
532
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:31,600
straight quarterback sweeps,
quarterback leads, you know,
533
00:32:31,608 --> 00:32:33,600
there's a handful of things that
they were throwing out there
534
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:41,300
just to mix it up and Not use BB
on a ton of these design runs
535
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:46,000
LED BB if he's going to run be a
scramble drill or something like
536
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,500
that.
And BB had a couple big runs.
537
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:55,600
Early 11, pretty big one where
it looked like as fast as I've
538
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,300
seen him run that, that was what
I he's shown speed, but I didn't
539
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,600
really appreciate how fast he
could really be until that play.
540
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
But we just Had we haven't seen
enough of that consistently just
541
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,900
because he's been pretty much
banged up.
542
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,300
I mean, kind of since week one.
Right.
543
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:17,500
He had a little little nicked in
that game.
544
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:22,900
He's been a little Nick's since
then it's been ribs.
545
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:26,800
It's been a little hand.
It's been like, it's been a
546
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,500
little bit of everything right
shoulder.
547
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:36,500
So but then we ended up just 30
carries by our quarterbacks.
548
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:40,900
I just I don't know what to do
with that.
549
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:45,300
I get that there was we got to a
point where BB was nicked again
550
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:47,600
and you got blumrich.
So you know you're going to get
551
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,500
you know, the Notre Dame game
plan script from that point on
552
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,100
you know that we saw a couple
years back.
553
00:33:54,100 --> 00:33:59,200
We QP you're going to get that
type of script but not giving it
554
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,700
to the running back since the
baffling part, it's one thing.
555
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,600
If you're devoting yourself to
the run, it's completely
556
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,200
different.
If you're just using your
557
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,500
quarterbacks as bad, Battering
rams, which is just what we did.
558
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:13,400
Yeah.
And the problem I have with that
559
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,500
is that if you look at some of
the other things is that it
560
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:19,800
created other problems for the
offensive line and there was
561
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,500
some trickle down there.
So let's go ahead and talk about
562
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,400
that.
And I know we have it in a
563
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,199
different order, but I'm going
to leave with this, the Caden
564
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:35,000
more pull sack, some of that is
set up directly because we were
565
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,500
not using our Our running backs.
So, so if you're is, if you're
566
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,000
covering a read option or any
sort of quarterback Rush the
567
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,900
where there's an option for the
quarterback to give primarily
568
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:50,000
you're going to use, either a
squeeze or a pop technique.
569
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,900
You're going to either squeeze
to kind of slow play it.
570
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:55,300
Make the quarterback make a
choice.
571
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,300
And then you want to try to get
them to keep it.
572
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:02,100
So you can come up, make the
play or pop it.
573
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,000
You're going to essentially
attack the mesh Point, either
574
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,800
you're going to make the
quarterback, give it or you're
575
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,100
there to make it make a tackle.
Well, once they saw, we weren't
576
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:12,200
handing the ball to the running
back.
577
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:14,300
It was pop all day.
They were going right at the
578
00:35:14,308 --> 00:35:20,300
mesh point every single time.
Every time there was no waiting.
579
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:22,800
There was no, there was none of
that.
580
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,300
No.
Hesitant I'm going right at the
581
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,700
quarterback and he's either.
Going to give it because it's
582
00:35:27,700 --> 00:35:30,200
smart where I'm going to get me
a big play in the backfield.
583
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,700
And though in the backfield and
here's one where we got it, we
584
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:39,700
got a counteraction counter play
action on a on a pass and
585
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,600
Cadence pulling across the
formation to essentially block.
586
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,400
The guy that would normally be a
read and a read option.
587
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:50,600
But he's already thinking all
right with this is a
588
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,200
read-option.
I'm attacking the mesh point,
589
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,400
he's flying up field.
He's five yards up field before
590
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,400
Caden even gets into the
position there.
591
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,900
So it's not so much.
That that play can't work or
592
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:06,900
that scheme, can't work.
But in this situation, and I'll
593
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:10,600
critique Kayden here, a little
bit, probably a bad, bad step a
594
00:36:10,607 --> 00:36:14,500
little bit slow getting across
there, but it's made worse by
595
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:18,600
the fact that, that, that
defensive end is flying up
596
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,900
filled already.
It was, it was worse than
597
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:24,200
because they already knew
tendency, right?
598
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:27,600
Yeah.
Tendency was, they're not giving
599
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,500
it, he's going to keep it.
So I'm just going to fly off.
600
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:36,300
And if he gives it a oh well
they're down in the game, it was
601
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:41,300
just like it's this whole thing
that again, this offensive
602
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:46,200
coordinator cannot grasp.
In that case, if you start
603
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,500
giving it more up the middle or
even on those the beers we saw,
604
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,800
you will make them have to start
thinking again because Malachi
605
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,700
Thomas or Rahim blacks year or
even key Chongqing, you make the
606
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:06,100
wrong mistake on them and they
get the scene, it's a house call
607
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,600
it's 40 or 50 yards, if they had
no fear of it, they got the ball
608
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,700
seven times, they got the ball.
Basically 12%.
609
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:19,600
No team is going to be scared of
the running backs if you're
610
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,300
giving them 12 percent
especially a guy like Rahim that
611
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:27,100
does better with volume and
Malachi does better with volume
612
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:28,800
as well.
They do you get them more
613
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,900
carries they are more consistent
so you got kind of essentially
614
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:36,100
cold backs at this point right
back to them.
615
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:39,900
Either been blocking most of the
game or having been on the field
616
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:41,700
or been decoys.
Yeah.
617
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:51,300
Like so like Essentially carried
your offense since Notre Dame,
618
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:56,000
right?
Yep, since Notre Dame or decoys
619
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,500
in a game, you need to get Bowl
eligible on the road.
620
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,700
Yeah, somebody doesn't want a
job after this.
621
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,900
Somebody doesn't want a job.
Somebody's looking at Nathan
622
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:09,800
Hale, with, with a big grin
right now.
623
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,500
He's like, all right, I'll be
there next year.
624
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:14,000
Yeah.
Hey, five years here at 500
625
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,500
thousand dollars out.
Is my money, let's the passing
626
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:21,300
offense, you know, it wasn't
help.
627
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:24,500
We did give up for sex.
We had six tackle, they had six
628
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:29,200
tackles for loss ugly, stat line
to me.
629
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,600
Ugly passes 19, 428 148, three,
touchdown passes.
630
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,900
All of them were right at the
goal line, and just some of the
631
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,700
ugliest freaking passes, it was
raining.
632
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:45,500
Yes.
But they were still Ugly.
633
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:47,900
I don't care what anybody says,
I'm with you.
634
00:38:47,900 --> 00:38:50,300
And I mean, so let's start with
one thing.
635
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:53,100
The offensive line didn't have
the greatest night in pass, bro.
636
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:58,300
It wasn't awful, but it was one
of their definitely in the lower
637
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:02,400
50% of their effort this year.
That was compounded a little bit
638
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,200
by a lot of the things that
we're going on behind the line
639
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,100
of scrimmage with the
quarterback situation.
640
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:15,000
And as you said, 19 2848, three
touchdowns a lot of that was
641
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,800
About three plays two of which
were to sorry, one of which was
642
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:30,300
to Trey Turner that get injured
on and really if Trey Turner
643
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:35,000
doesn't make two plays and then
you've got some of the other
644
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,500
younger guys that were going to
talk about a little bit.
645
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,000
Making a couple of plays that
stat line going to be been even
646
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,600
worse.
I sat like them, like these
647
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,000
weren't routine catches.
Ladies and gentlemen, this this
648
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:48,600
This was pulling the rabbit at
your head a little bit.
649
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,600
That's that line.
Legitimately could have been 15
650
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:58,400
for 28, maybe 85 yards.
Maybe somewhere somewhere,
651
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,900
thereabouts, maybe 100, maybe,
150, go back and do the math.
652
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,700
It wouldn't have been over 150.
I know that.
653
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,400
No, but let me ask this Brian.
You were going into UVA next
654
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:18,000
week.
You mentioned that you about
655
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,900
Connor, you mean that ugly
screen pass.
656
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:24,600
Good Lord, he threw that thing
right into the dirt, but as it
657
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,700
is, he is even better chance on
the ball.
658
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,300
So, I'll say this, you talk
about the one in the dirt, but
659
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:33,000
then he talked about when Brax
was in there.
660
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:38,700
He sailed one about 10 yards
above tase head, so I don't know
661
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:43,100
which is worse.
Neither were catchable unless
662
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:45,300
you were in the immediate
vicinity Sanity of the
663
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:51,900
quarterback.
So I'll tell you the one thing
664
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:56,200
that blumrich does is that he
does throw a ball more than 15
665
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,600
yards, downfield, that gives our
receivers a chance to make a
666
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,500
play on it.
He does that better than
667
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,300
Braxton.
What Braxton has is.
668
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:10,000
He has accuracy in the short
game when he's able to have a
669
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,500
clean pocket step into it, make
a good throw.
670
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:17,900
He doesn't have the arm strength
to do anything beyond that.
671
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:20,500
He doesn't throw the out very
good.
672
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:24,100
He's got to drive it.
He doesn't throw a good deep
673
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:29,000
ball, he doesn't really do a
good job of attacking the middle
674
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,300
of the field.
So, you know, maybe blumrich as
675
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:36,600
sad as it is to say gives us the
better chance because he does
676
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,800
put a ball up there down the
field that gives our receivers a
677
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,700
chance to do something with it.
Maybe we stick with him just
678
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:50,700
because he is also the more
durable quarterback.
679
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,400
If we are going to stick with
running our quarterbacks this
680
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,700
much in the UVA game as well, it
can times.
681
00:41:56,700 --> 00:42:01,900
Yeah, it'll be it'll be I'm sure
Monday.
682
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:05,500
Presser something will be asked
about that so it'll be sort of
683
00:42:05,508 --> 00:42:09,700
mind-blowing.
We've got, you know, 76 days
684
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:12,800
roughly give or take you
mentioned it earlier a little
685
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,900
bit of you.
Movement on probably counter
686
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:20,400
bluemix best thrown ball
downfield, Dwayne Lofton.
687
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:23,200
He gave him a chance and Duane
caught it.
688
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:26,100
Yeah.
And I mean that was that's a
689
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:32,000
tough throw and he put it where
only Lofton could get it and
690
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,600
Lofton winning got it.
Yes he did full extension.
691
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:40,800
It was it was probably one of
the two best plays the night and
692
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,300
Trey Turner had the other one on
the The catch it at the goal,
693
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:52,400
line there for the touchdown,
very vintage Odell Beckham jr.
694
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,800
Esque.
But, but we also had Jalen
695
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:02,500
Jones, get a big catch on a dig
across the middle where he took
696
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:07,600
a big pop after the catch.
So you know, those two guys
697
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,700
getting involved in the passing
game is Big I'd like to see more
698
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:14,300
of that.
I'm sad that we Didn't see more
699
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:16,900
earlier in the season,
especially for the fact that,
700
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,600
I'm pretty sure this point,
lofton's shirts, burnt despite
701
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,200
not really getting a whole lot
of actual targets, right?
702
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,900
I want to say he, I want to say
he's played in at least four at
703
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:35,700
this point.
Give me a second here, while I'm
704
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:39,600
looking that up, Brian, let me
ask this, give me the overall
705
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,700
assessment of the offensive
coordinator.
706
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:44,400
Tell me.
Tell me right now.
707
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:51,200
Like you know, he's coaching for
his future and I know where
708
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,100
We've joked about it but let's
be serious right now.
709
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:59,800
I mean, is he going D to best at
best at best at best?
710
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,500
I can't see him getting a
coordinator job.
711
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:07,400
Like he's not going to get any
decent FCS coordinator job.
712
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,700
At all.
I mean he's just like his only
713
00:44:14,700 --> 00:44:20,200
hope is for one day gets a G5
job in hires and I mean the
714
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,800
thing is that the the Secret's
out on him at this point.
715
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,800
This isn't this isn't a guy
that's having a bad run or a guy
716
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,600
that doesn't have the talent
rate.
717
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,900
This is a guy that has shown who
he is what he is.
718
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:36,400
We've got guys on the record
saying what he does.
719
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:42,600
Yeah, you know the only thing
that he As well at this point,
720
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:49,800
is misdirection with motion.
That's it.
721
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:53,400
You get to you.
Get to the linebackers eyes
722
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,400
moving in the wrong direction on
occasion.
723
00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:59,600
Okay.
Good for you dictate where the
724
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,100
balls going to go eventually.
You don't think they can.
725
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:05,300
You don't think these guys who
are coached and watch a ton of
726
00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:09,100
tape, say the coaches on the
sidelines, when you see this
727
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:11,600
play happen, just go just go
with this guy.
728
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,300
Why?
Because homeboy over there is
729
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:14,500
going to tell them to give it to
this guy.
730
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:17,400
There's not going to be every or
or tell him not to, you know, a
731
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,500
lot of times it's either.
Sometimes the the window
732
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:22,700
dressing gives away the play and
then sometimes the window
733
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:24,700
dressing, you just need to
ignore.
734
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:27,900
And once you figured out what
window dressing to pay attention
735
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:32,700
to and which ones to ignore the,
the Secret's out, very true
736
00:45:32,700 --> 00:45:34,500
Braun.
Alright Braun.
737
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:38,700
You know, before we get into
looking at some coaching
738
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:42,500
candidates for the Virginia Tech
job guys, we like we told you
739
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:44,500
Wednesday, we did a bunch on
this.
740
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
We are going to take a quick
pause from our digital partners.
741

forward slash free Dash website,

748
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:21,300
Now back to the episode Alright
guys, so we have made a list of
749
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:29,300
close to 15 guys and we made a
list of no chance and he'll and
750
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,900
we made a list of one guy we
want, but would probably get.
751
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:35,300
So we're going to start with the
Ford our courses.
752
00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:37,800
There's been some rumors of
these guys.
753
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,700
We just in hindsight we can't
see any of these guys actually
754
00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:45,300
accepting this job or us
offering the job.
755
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Job and those are these four as
follows.
756
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:51,300
Byron Leftwich Tampa Bay
Buccaneers offensive coordinator
757
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,900
Bill O'Brien, the OC at Alabama
for an NFL head.
758
00:46:54,900 --> 00:46:59,500
Coach Hugh freeze at Liberty and
Brent pry, who's the defensive
759
00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:05,200
coordinator up at Penn State?
I'd say two of these.
760
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,100
We probably will, at least
contact how far we get the
761
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:11,600
process.
I don't know, I'd say Bill
762
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:18,900
O'Brien and Brent pry, or more
of A four or more likely to get
763
00:47:18,900 --> 00:47:22,400
into the process here?
I don't know, I don't know what
764
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,100
you what your opinion is on
that.
765
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:26,700
But that would be the two that I
would say, have a better chance
766
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:29,900
in the Dark Horse category here.
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on
767
00:47:29,900 --> 00:47:30,400
that.
I don't know.
768
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,800
A lot of people, I got text
about Buddy last night.
769
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,000
Like Hugh freeze like we're not
hiring Hugh, freeze Hugh.
770
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:43,300
Freeze has a stain on him that I
don't think our Administration
771
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:48,600
ill will go for Or I just don't
think, I think it would be a
772
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,700
good hire.
I don't think that Virginia Tech
773
00:47:51,700 --> 00:47:54,600
goes that route.
If, for whatever reason, whether
774
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,800
it's, Which choice, whether
it's, you know, guys on the
775
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,500
board of visitors that aren't
willing to sign that check or
776
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:06,500
sign off on that, there's going
to be pressure from for multiple
777
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:09,400
levels to probably not give you
freeze the look.
778
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:14,300
He probably deserves and that's
just you called that a fit
779
00:48:14,300 --> 00:48:15,600
Choice.
Whatever it Is.
780
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:21,800
I mean, some of it is, is being
able to fit into that that type
781
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,900
of parameters.
So if you got a guy that's
782
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:29,300
that's budding against your
board of visitors, every couple
783
00:48:29,300 --> 00:48:31,200
months that's probably not a
good thing.
784
00:48:32,900 --> 00:48:35,300
So that's probably why it's not
going to happen.
785
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:41,900
Like I said, I think he if it
was my choice and I mean, being
786
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:47,600
he'd be in my top five.
So, But now I'm going to say
787
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,500
this though, with LSU already
being open and now Florida
788
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:52,700
coming, open put Dan Mullen as a
dark horse to.
789
00:48:52,700 --> 00:48:59,100
It's just later in the process,
but I think now he has his
790
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:01,800
sights on two programs.
And I'm not saying they don't
791
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:08,900
care about what happened before
but it's less like you listen we
792
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:11,900
don't really care.
We just want to win 85 to 90% of
793
00:49:11,908 --> 00:49:13,900
the time and compete for
championships.
794
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,900
So there Our I just mentioned
five Dark Horses.
795
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,600
They're there on our minds we
just can't see them going any
796
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,000
further.
But let's start with the first
797
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,000
name here.
Brian.
798
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:27,100
I'm going to do the program.
Will do the cons have little
799
00:49:27,100 --> 00:49:30,400
back and forth.
Mike Elko Texas, A&M defensive
800
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,900
coordinator couple of his prose
y'all.
801
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,100
He had been with Dave place.
And previously had two very
802
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:40,500
successful students with Clausen
before he went up to Notre Dame
803
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,600
and Texas A&M much bigger time
programs.
804
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:47,000
He does have Obviously some ties
to the state of Virginia
805
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:52,600
recruiting being at Richmond
with Clawson and then being at
806
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,200
Wake Forest his defense is
always been good.
807
00:49:56,700 --> 00:50:00,600
Like he's never had like the
worst defense in the country.
808
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,900
Obviously, it's gotten better
looks as he has gotten more
809
00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:07,600
Talent, especially Notre Dame
for a few years.
810
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:12,200
And again, being at Wake Forest,
they had some solid defense has
811
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,200
obviously has a little bit of
Player Development to go along
812
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:22,600
with his good recruiting Yeah,
and for the cons, the big thing
813
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,600
we're looking at is really no
head coach experience, that's
814
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:26,900
out.
The gate is going to be the big
815
00:50:26,900 --> 00:50:31,900
one, and that might be the one
thing that keeps him off with
816
00:50:31,900 --> 00:50:35,000
its radar.
I know he said that he's not
817
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,200
shying away from guys that have
only been coordinators, but he
818
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:46,100
also is, you know, he said the
power 5 job in the ACC being
819
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:48,700
your first head coaching gig is
going to be a tough jump.
820
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:53,900
So I think he's only going to
look at a coordinator.
821
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:58,300
If it's absolutely 100%, the guy
he wants or the guy that he
822
00:50:58,300 --> 00:50:59,900
thinks is going to be the best
fit.
823
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,700
So that's kind of where we are
with with the cons and you know,
824
00:51:04,700 --> 00:51:07,900
we got another one here.
Most recruiting success has been
825
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:10,600
in Texas and that's really the
big thing.
826
00:51:10,900 --> 00:51:14,200
When you look at his recruiting
numbers and the guys that he's
827
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,900
pulled, most of those big
recruits have been in Texas.
828
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:21,100
We know how that's Or he goes in
terms of how that relates to
829
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:24,300
Blacksburg, you know, you can
pull one or two.
830
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,200
It's not something where you can
build a pipeline and he really,
831
00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:33,300
you know, in terms of being on
the the head coaching radar, he
832
00:51:33,300 --> 00:51:37,000
really hasn't been on that that
radar until some of the success
833
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,800
recently at a.m. and then you
previously at Notre Dame's.
834
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:46,200
So Elko is really kind of a new
face in terms of being on the
835
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,700
head coaching radar.
I don't know if that's
836
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:50,900
necessarily something that would
shot folks away from it, but it
837
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:54,400
is something to look at there.
Yeah, yeah.
838
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,000
When you balance is pros and
cons, would it be?
839
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,100
Would we be throwing things and
on the drive to Miriam and to
840
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:02,500
pick it?
No, we will.
841
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:05,500
And I think you'd be an okay
higher but I but I definitely
842
00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:10,800
think we can do better.
I do think Elko is on the verge
843
00:52:11,300 --> 00:52:16,400
of probably the next Two years.
He's going to get a head
844
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,700
coaching job.
I do not think he will get a big
845
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:21,900
P5 job.
I think he will have to land
846
00:52:21,900 --> 00:52:27,400
somewhere like a Wake Forest
like a Syracuse and build his
847
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,300
ilk from there.
Yeah.
848
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,400
If he's going to go power 5,
probably the bottom end, you
849
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,600
know, maybe maybe even Duke if
that comes open.
850
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,800
No, not that.
I wouldn't want it either.
851
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,100
I'm just saying he might take it
anyway.
852
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:45,300
Yeah, I'm kind of with you
there.
853
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:49,300
I think the big thing with Elko
is that, you know, we don't know
854
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:52,000
a whole lot in terms of what
that what he would look like as
855
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,600
a head coach.
And I think that's something
856
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,200
that unless he's got, he checks
a whole lot of other boxes that
857
00:52:58,200 --> 00:52:59,600
might be the thing that holds
him back.
858
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,700
Absolutely.
So let's go ahead and move on
859
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,900
to.
We'll talk next about Josh
860
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:10,600
Gaddis.
Some of the pros for Josh Gad is
861
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:15,200
he was born in played in the
region so that that's, that's a
862
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,800
big thing for him.
He's had some big stops in his
863
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,700
career, big stops throughout his
career.
864
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:24,900
He was an NFL draft pick and
player.
865
00:53:25,900 --> 00:53:29,100
So having that NFL experience,
definitely adds to the pedigree
866
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:35,600
there has some experience in
Mid-Atlantic recruiting And he
867
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,600
was the recruiting coordinator
at Penn State.
868
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,600
So I think that's really when
you look at the overall body of
869
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:46,100
work there, some pretty good
things to talk about, what are
870
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:47,700
some of the cons on Gaddis
there?
871
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,300
Curtis it goddess.
Michigan OC.
872
00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:52,800
You know, first of all it's the
one, the next shower.
873
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,400
And a kind of cart seeing a
trend here.
874
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,000
He has no head coaching
experience at any level.
875
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:02,500
Here's my biggest con what we
mean by we're talking about us.
876
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:07,500
When Mike's locksley got his But
Maryland, he and Gaddis were
877
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:11,400
Colo seeds.
When locksley got the job, he
878
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,600
was not internally promoted
immediately to hit offensive
879
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:22,100
coordinator and essentially when
that happened, you know, he
880
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:25,700
left, he went up to Michigan and
since he's been at Michigan,
881
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:33,400
it's taken a little bit of time
to, you know, kind of kind of
882
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,100
show exactly what he's all
about.
883
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:38,700
You know, he's been at Michigan
now.
884
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,500
This This his third season they
were is okay.
885
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:45,700
In 2019, they didn't look great.
Last year, they're finally
886
00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:48,700
hidden strides this year,
biggest test this weekend,
887
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:52,900
against Ohio State, and this is
one.
888
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:56,300
I always talk about.
He's only ever coached Elite
889
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:57,700
Talent as a.
No.
890
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:00,900
See.
And when you start coaching
891
00:55:00,900 --> 00:55:06,400
guys, at that level, Is it, is
it some of what you say and do
892
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,800
helps you?
But when you have the best
893
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,500
players for near the top of the
best players at every single
894
00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:17,400
position as an offensive
coordinator, Some things it's
895
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,600
just like, you know, I hate to
say there's something like well,
896
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,300
let's just run a power over,
right?
897
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,600
37-yard touchdown.
Yay, great call.
898
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:37,400
Now that's deployers so, you
know, if he's hired you feel
899
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:42,400
like, you know, probably haven't
seen any interviews with Josh
900
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,600
cow so you probably feel he
probably got a good personality.
901
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:53,800
Leti where he recruits, but I
think he's one of those jobs if
902
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,300
he continues to do good in
Michigan.
903
00:55:55,300 --> 00:55:59,200
If they, if they beat Ohio State
next week and they go to the
904
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,700
playoffs, I think he will get a
solid head coaching job
905
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:07,000
somewhere.
Yeah, I agree.
906
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:15,500
I think. with Gatos, he's
probably one of the more under
907
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:19,500
the radar coordinators that's
made our list here.
908
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:23,300
I would say, I think he is
getting a lot of good.
909
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:25,900
Looks some of that is, you know,
because he was born and played
910
00:56:25,900 --> 00:56:28,700
in the region.
And I think some of that is just
911
00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:31,800
his overall pedigree and then
the couple big stops with Penn
912
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,400
State and out at Michigan that
he's had, you know, Bama in
913
00:56:35,408 --> 00:56:39,000
there as well.
So you will see if he ends up
914
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,400
staying on the radar as we kind
of Move Along here.
915
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,600
True.
So who's up next buddy up?
916
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,700
Next Marcus Freeman.
Defensive coordinator had a
917
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:56,200
Notre Dame, you know, his prose
wherever he's been at.
918
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,000
He's shown the ability to
recruit.
919
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,400
Good players.
And it's it's something that
920
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,300
sticks because he was at Purdue.
He was at Cincinnati.
921
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:12,100
If you've ever seen him speak
and I got to watch a video, his
922
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:15,600
personality, it will blow you
away here in the sky.
923
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,800
Talk about his philosophy about
players.
924
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:24,600
You go to YouTube, just find a
market screaming interview and
925
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:29,100
that will partially sell you on
why he's above, you know, a few
926
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:32,300
other guys who had a little bit
more timely programs.
927
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:37,200
Yeah, he wins player at Ohio
State.
928
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:39,800
What he's done, it's in C and
Notre Dame.
929
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:44,900
Last few years that's that's
something its culture, right?
930
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:49,500
Winning culture is a thing.
They haven't given up a
931
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:52,500
touchdown in the last three
weeks ever know they haven't,
932
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:55,900
they haven't even touchdown.
Now, the other thing I like
933
00:57:55,900 --> 00:58:01,600
about him and again it goes back
to this being where he is now at
934
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,600
Notre Dame with the Elite Talent
like guy like Kyle Hamilton, but
935
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,000
he was at Cincinnati where he
had to develop guys.
936
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:13,100
So he's showing you that
combination that to me is, why
937
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:16,300
hit some had coaches?
Do so well, which will about
938
00:58:16,300 --> 00:58:18,200
Nick Saban.
He has a ton of four and five.
939
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,600
Star guys, but you also see
three star guys coming there and
940
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,500
make impacts right.
He knows how to fix the elite,
941
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,000
he knows how to coach
Developmental and to me to be a
942
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,700
top, 15 top 20 program, that's a
balance, you have to have
943
00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:34,600
someone.
We just mentioned, I don't think
944
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,900
Dan Mullen knows how to do that
down in Florida.
945
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,200
That's why you got fired.
I think Dan knows how to coach
946
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:45,200
developmental Talent.
He hasn't found a strive for the
947
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,700
Elite Talent guys.
I think he I think he can
948
00:58:47,700 --> 00:58:51,600
consistently recruit top 30
classes, but he has to do more
949
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:56,200
of the on the development side.
He's not a guy that can take,
950
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,600
he's not a guy that can get
Florida, the classes.
951
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,000
They should be able to get but
he also doesn't know how to
952
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,200
handle those guys once they get
in the door either.
953
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:05,800
Absolutely.
All right, Brian.
954
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:10,300
Let's look as much as we just.
I just drooled all over Freeman.
955
00:59:11,100 --> 00:59:14,300
There are some cons there.
Yeah, I mean the big one.
956
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:16,200
This is still consistent is
going to be consistent with
957
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,100
every coordinator that hasn't
had a head coach experiences
958
00:59:19,100 --> 00:59:22,100
that no head coach experience at
this point.
959
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,700
So any any We're taking on
Freeman.
960
00:59:24,700 --> 00:59:26,700
Will have that risk associated
with it.
961
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:28,300
That's just going to be
something.
962
00:59:28,300 --> 00:59:32,000
We're going to have to
potentially deal with and the
963
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,800
second one being he's only been
at one place where he's had big
964
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,600
expectations and that's where
he's at now and he's only been
965
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,600
there, you know, 90% of one
season.
966
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:50,000
So That's, that's interesting
angle there.
967
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,900
Just because you know, while
since he had expectations for a
968
00:59:55,900 --> 01:00:00,100
G5 school, you know this wasn't
make the playoffs type
969
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:02,500
expectations.
He's at he's at a place now
970
01:00:02,500 --> 01:00:06,400
where the expectations to make
the playoff and he's showing out
971
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,100
thus far.
But this is really, you know, a
972
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:14,500
very small sample size at this
point and the last one being
973
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:16,600
he's only really ever coached in
the Upper Midwest.
974
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:23,400
We talked about Purdue Cincy.
Notre Dame obviously has OSU
975
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:28,000
ties there so in state.
Yeah, Indiana that's it.
976
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,400
So high.
Oh, state is the closest he's
977
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:40,500
ever been to the Mid-Atlantic
and again, that's another cell.
978
01:00:40,500 --> 01:00:44,100
But again I think my positive
listen to him talk.
979
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:48,900
I think that guy could walk into
any The Mid-Atlantic household
980
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,100
and silica ball program.
Yeah, and we've seen and we've
981
01:00:52,100 --> 01:00:55,300
seen it done.
I mean, he's got some once he
982
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:57,500
started it.
A lot of was sensing a lot
983
01:00:57,500 --> 01:01:00,600
especially now with Notre Dame.
He's recruiting players from all
984
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,800
over the country and he's having
success wherever he's
985
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,300
recruiting.
So I don't think the recruiting
986
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:10,800
part of it is necessarily a
problem and I don't necessarily
987
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:15,900
think that will have a problem
in terms of the fit in terms of
988
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,800
His personality.
Whereas in Puente some of you
989
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:29,100
know Oklahoma Texas type
demeanor, rub some wrong way.
990
01:01:29,500 --> 01:01:31,700
I don't think you'll have that
with Freeman even though he's
991
01:01:31,700 --> 01:01:34,200
not necessarily a regional guy.
Yeah.
992
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:38,200
So those are the cons for
Freeman.
993
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,100
I feel really good about Freeman
Freeman, is probably the highest
994
01:01:41,100 --> 01:01:44,000
I am on any coordinator on our
list.
995
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:47,000
Yeah.
I'm with you.
996
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:49,600
I'm with you on that who we got
next O'Brien?
997
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,200
All right, next up.
We got Tony, Elliott, offensive
998
01:01:54,200 --> 01:02:00,100
coordinator at Clemson.
This is a name that was very
999
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,900
high on the buzz list last year
when we thought Fuente might be
1000
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:08,700
out following the covid year,
the big thing out the gate.
1001
01:02:08,700 --> 01:02:11,900
This guy can recruit his ass
off.
1002
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:15,300
You look at some of the
recruits.
1003
01:02:15,500 --> 01:02:18,900
He's pulled in.
It's a who's who of the big-name
1004
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:20,800
Clemson guys that have walked
through the door?
1005
01:02:22,700 --> 01:02:25,600
And he has lower Mid-Atlantic
recruiting experience.
1006
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,500
So he's recruited up into
Virginia.
1007
01:02:27,500 --> 01:02:31,000
He's recruited a lot and the
Carolinas or crew delight and
1008
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:37,600
Georgia some in Florida and
really completely torn it up and
1009
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:41,500
his offenses have set records.
I mean we look at 2021 is really
1010
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:44,500
the big outlier.
Some of that has to do with some
1011
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:48,100
of the limitations He's had with
his quarterback play overall,
1012
01:02:48,700 --> 01:02:50,700
he's more of a running backs
ISO.
1013
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:53,800
You know, I'm not sure if we'll
see.
1014
01:02:55,100 --> 01:02:58,300
See, that type of thing carry
over there, but his offenses
1015
01:02:58,300 --> 01:03:01,700
have done well, with really good
talent.
1016
01:03:01,700 --> 01:03:05,500
And with, you know, just above
average Talent you, he doesn't
1017
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:08,900
need a five-star.
Number one or two quarterback in
1018
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:13,600
the class to get it done.
And his position group is always
1019
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,000
performed.
Like I said, with the running
1020
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,000
backs there, they've always had
pretty good.
1021
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,100
Numbers Shipley's do is probably
the bright spot of that offense
1022
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:24,300
this year.
Overall, obviously Travis at TN,
1023
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:30,100
completely tore it up when he
was here, and when you listen to
1024
01:03:30,107 --> 01:03:33,400
this guy, talk much like
Freeman, very infectious
1025
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,300
personality type of guy, you
want to play for type of guy,
1026
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:39,700
you want to hear speak about
that your program?
1027
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:42,800
So Curtis we talked about the
pros.
1028
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,300
What are some of the cons here
man?
1029
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:49,300
One of the cons is again no head
coaching experience and it's
1030
01:03:49,300 --> 01:03:52,600
very limited recruiting in the
DMV are very limited.
1031
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,300
He this isn't like his primary
or his primary areas down in
1032
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,000
Georgia and Florida.
So he has submitted Land
1033
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,400
Experience.
But he's not, it's not a ton of
1034
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,200
where we, where we feel like we
need to see it.
1035
01:04:07,300 --> 01:04:09,500
He's only ever coached and state
of South Carolina.
1036
01:04:10,900 --> 01:04:18,700
Clemson and firm, that's it.
So that's that's one of those.
1037
01:04:18,700 --> 01:04:20,000
I'm not going to say it's a red
flag.
1038
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,100
At least it's only two states
away, you know, and it's in your
1039
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:27,800
footprint.
So probably gets a feel a little
1040
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:32,700
bit about the type of recruiting
Virginia Tech can do and here's
1041
01:04:32,700 --> 01:04:35,800
my biggie.
You talked about having either
1042
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,900
Elite or above-average Talent.
So, basically Brian saying five
1043
01:04:39,900 --> 01:04:44,200
or four, H thumb 3.
How does he?
1044
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,600
How does he coach not only
Talent?
1045
01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:50,900
And it's, and I know of
Clemson's a little different.
1046
01:04:50,900 --> 01:04:55,800
They do have some, I guess you
could say scheme fit guys, and
1047
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,600
some more locker room guys than
a place like, Alabama, Ohio
1048
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:06,200
State, but it's still a bunch of
talent.
1049
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,800
It's still a top 10 talented
team.
1050
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:12,400
And when you start taking guys
away from that, and putting them
1051
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,500
in that where we are right now,
we're sitting 40.
1052
01:05:15,900 --> 01:05:20,600
Usually we set somewhere,
Between about 22 and 30, right?
1053
01:05:20,700 --> 01:05:23,400
How are you going to get 25 to
play like 10?
1054
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:28,700
It's tough because when I say,
call power 0 and they go 37
1055
01:05:28,700 --> 01:05:32,100
yards for a touchdown, can't do
that anymore because it's not
1056
01:05:32,100 --> 01:05:35,000
all there.
I like Tony.
1057
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,600
I think Tony has taken a hit
this year with the way the
1058
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,900
offense is looked.
And then I do some of that's
1059
01:05:42,900 --> 01:05:45,900
fair and some of that's not but
I mean, it kind of is what it
1060
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:47,100
is.
You take it.
1061
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,000
Hit even, you know, whether it's
dessert or not, you're the face
1062
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,400
of the offense so it kind of
comes with the territory, right?
1063
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:56,300
It's true.
You're the face and especially
1064
01:05:56,300 --> 01:05:59,700
when the guy that, you know, he
was calling with went to South
1065
01:05:59,700 --> 01:06:03,100
Florida and now he's not doing
girl.
1066
01:06:04,300 --> 01:06:08,400
Great at all.
But it's one of those things.
1067
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,100
I don't think Tony line Lanes
anywhere this year.
1068
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,500
I think he's cooled off, but I
think what will be interesting
1069
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:19,300
to see what happens is with him
and Dabo Brannan, Street is a
1070
01:06:19,308 --> 01:06:21,000
quarterback coach, right?
Yep.
1071
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:26,900
If that's the issue does Dabo
pull the trigger because Dabo
1072
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:30,400
has done that a few times.
He's like, guys, go a couple.
1073
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,600
Guys have had good success in
left.
1074
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,600
We're going.
Talk about another guy pretty
1075
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,900
pretty soon here that he did
that with.
1076
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:39,500
Yes, we are.
All right, but Brian, who's our
1077
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:44,300
next candidate up?
All right, so next up, we've got
1078
01:06:44,300 --> 01:06:49,700
Dan landing, d.c. at Georgia.
All right, so Dan Landing guys.
1079
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:53,000
His prose experience with
winning programs.
1080
01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:57,600
Always a big thing has a winning
culture already instilled in him
1081
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,400
and you know, when we sit here
and talk about well besides
1082
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,900
Georgia, you know, where else
has he been?
1083
01:07:05,900 --> 01:07:09,600
Well he was with Mike Norvell in
Memphis because of potential
1084
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,000
Memphis connection, that was 16
and 17.
1085
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:17,000
When again over L came in there,
kept the one day going he was
1086
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:23,900
also at Sam Houston State, a
pretty good FCS power so you
1087
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:26,600
know it's like we win we win we
win.
1088
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:33,600
Yep.
Georgia since 2018 and his unit
1089
01:07:33,700 --> 01:07:38,100
you know whether it be the
outside line backing unit always
1090
01:07:38,100 --> 01:07:41,300
good at Georgia or now the whole
defense in general.
1091
01:07:42,700 --> 01:07:46,200
They're an elite level.
And I know they've got five star
1092
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:52,400
studs, all over the place.
Other teams due to the what he's
1093
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:56,000
getting out of them.
This year says a lot about him
1094
01:07:57,900 --> 01:08:02,700
because they're dominating.
Yeah to unprecedented levels in
1095
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:05,700
this era.
Now, one more good thing about
1096
01:08:05,700 --> 01:08:11,600
him Landing does has a purty
good Mid-Atlantic footprint for
1097
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:16,800
his recruiting.
So it's not like that culture
1098
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,200
shock of coming from the Midwest
or the Upper Midwest.
1099
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,300
He's down at the Mid-Atlantic,
similar to Tony, even though
1100
01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:28,000
there's not a lot of DMV in
there I still think that I think
1101
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:33,800
you would understand the
cultures that are than guys
1102
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,899
coming out from the west or even
the Midwest.
1103
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:41,600
All right Ron, what's the cons?
So Collins I mean we've already
1104
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,800
said it for a lot of these guys
with the big one is going to be
1105
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,800
the new head coach experience.
We really don't know how he's
1106
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,600
going to handle a head coaching
experience.
1107
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,899
Would he be a CEO type of guy
that can work with the donors?
1108
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:57,300
All the stuff, the things that a
coordinator don't have to deal
1109
01:08:57,300 --> 01:08:59,600
with, you know?
Will he be able to handle those
1110
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,000
types of roles and the other?
The other big one here is that
1111
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,500
he's really only been on the
coaching radar since he's been a
1112
01:09:08,500 --> 01:09:10,399
coach.
Be coaching elite players at
1113
01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:14,200
Georgia.
He wasn't a guy that was looking
1114
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:15,800
to make a big step up before
that.
1115
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,500
Now he's at Georgia.
He's coaching elite players and
1116
01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:21,300
now all of a sudden he's getting
some head coaching bugs so that
1117
01:09:21,300 --> 01:09:25,399
may be a little bit of a red
flag but overall Landing has a
1118
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:29,700
good good overall resume.
I don't like him quite as much
1119
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:33,700
as Freeman in terms of just the
other upside that he brings to
1120
01:09:33,700 --> 01:09:37,200
the table.
But I do think that he would be
1121
01:09:37,700 --> 01:09:40,399
a pretty okay, fit.
That ended up being the route,
1122
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:43,100
be went with.
Yeah, I think you'd be an okay
1123
01:09:43,100 --> 01:09:45,800
fit kind of get us back to, you
know.
1124
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,000
The the Beamer Bud type
mentality especially on the
1125
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,300
defensive side of the ball but I
think he's a year away.
1126
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:58,700
Yeah, mean if you pull the
trigger on him now maybe the
1127
01:09:58,700 --> 01:10:02,100
biggest upside is you probably
can get them a little bit on the
1128
01:10:02,100 --> 01:10:05,100
cheap.
But I think there's enough read
1129
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:07,500
their where you say he needs one
more year.
1130
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:11,600
He needs a lot of these guys on
this defense to go away which is
1131
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,400
going to happen this year with
Georgia.
1132
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,600
How does he do it next year?
Because I think if they dominate
1133
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,000
like they did this year, they
lose people, their top 15
1134
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,500
defense next year, then he's
going somewhere, interesting to
1135
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:26,400
see where.
All right, Brian.
1136
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:31,600
We're going to stop right here
because everyone else on this
1137
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:37,900
list is a head coach somewhere.
Somewhere, but we wanted to
1138
01:10:37,900 --> 01:10:44,100
bring up some names.
Just so people can get this out
1139
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:46,800
of this is the boundary Corner
podcast saying this.
1140
01:10:47,900 --> 01:10:51,200
There's some people, these
people, this is not, these are
1141
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,300
absolutely not happening.
Let's start number one.
1142
01:10:54,300 --> 01:10:57,400
Prime, shame, Beamer Shane,
Beamer Shane.
1143
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:58,800
Beamer could have happened last
year.
1144
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,500
It will not be happening this
year.
1145
01:11:00,500 --> 01:11:03,300
Go ahead and write it off.
And there's, and there's several
1146
01:11:03,300 --> 01:11:04,800
reasons that Shane's not
happening.
1147
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,800
Right?
Well, yeah, I mean, aside from
1148
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,300
every, every reason that was
brought up last year, we paying
1149
01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:15,200
at the dam by out to get Shane
out of that contract in South
1150
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,800
Carolina, 17 and a half.
That alone is why it's not
1151
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,600
happening.
So number 2, Ed order on all of
1152
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,500
that is not happening.
No, it's not happening.
1153
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:32,400
Tokyo's 61 years old.
I love the guy's personality,
1154
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,900
but I do not want him as my head
coach, after what I've been
1155
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:38,100
hearing about going on and LSU
about his age.
1156
01:11:38,900 --> 01:11:44,400
I think he's a damn fine coach
overall, but I don't think that
1157
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,700
what he brings to the table.
Is a good fit for Blacksburg
1158
01:11:49,700 --> 01:11:53,900
right now, right now.
Now now, well, I think Ocho is
1159
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:56,600
going to land somewhere head
coaching.
1160
01:11:56,700 --> 01:11:59,200
Probably not.
But I think he's going to go out
1161
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,200
there and do the kids because
kocho recruiting pitches and
1162
01:12:03,300 --> 01:12:04,900
he's going to help some team
out.
1163
01:12:04,900 --> 01:12:10,400
If I'm Hill, whoever the USC
candidate is, I'm immediately
1164
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,100
picking up cut.
You want to be the asuc and my
1165
01:12:13,100 --> 01:12:16,400
recruiting coordinator.
Absolutely, absolutely.
1166
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:20,900
Number three.
Yeah, we love them and he is an
1167
01:12:20,900 --> 01:12:23,900
icon but he's not coming back
y'all, but Foster is not coming
1168
01:12:23,900 --> 01:12:28,100
out of retirement, Bud.
Foster loves the lake and
1169
01:12:28,100 --> 01:12:30,700
doesn't want to blow up his
heart.
1170
01:12:30,700 --> 01:12:38,200
So let Bud enjoy the lake, the
enjoy, the boat enjoy, coming to
1171
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,200
games, where he doesn't get
quite as worked up as he does on
1172
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:45,600
the sidelines and let him enjoy
it.
1173
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,400
It's not happening.
I mean it could have happened
1174
01:12:49,500 --> 01:12:54,200
six years ago and I have been
110 percent fine with it it
1175
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,800
should have happened 10 years
ago.
1176
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,700
Yes you could have happened 10
years ago, I'm with that and
1177
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:02,900
even if it didn't it should
happen.
1178
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:05,300
Six years ago, I would have been
perfectly fine with that higher.
1179
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:10,100
So unfortunately we're at a
point where that, that that has
1180
01:13:10,100 --> 01:13:14,500
passed and the last one guy's is
Gary Patterson, because that
1181
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:19,000
would not work at all.
Anyone Thinking it would is
1182
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
outside their damn mind.
They're outside their mind.
1183
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,800
It's again age.
Kocho and gay, Patterson, same
1184
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:31,400
age, 60, plus years old.
You can't fire a head coach and
1185
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:35,600
then hire his mentor.
He can't can't do that.
1186
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:38,400
Maybe that's why.
I didn't get the job because
1187
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,800
essentially it's kind of what
happened but now the Gary
1188
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,300
Patterson things just not
happening, you see it out there
1189
01:13:44,300 --> 01:13:50,700
you kind of chuckle but bra.
On there is one guy that we did
1190
01:13:50,700 --> 01:13:56,800
not put on this list and we
would absolutely love to have
1191
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,700
this guy.
Love it.
1192
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,200
Yep.
Oz not that big track records.
1193
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,200
Great.
But it's just not happening,
1194
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,300
it's not happening, and it's
Luke fickle.
1195
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:13,000
And the reason it's likely not
happening is because of the move
1196
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,800
of Cincy into the Big 12.
And I think that move is
1197
01:14:18,300 --> 01:14:22,800
essentially a green light for
fickle to take as much time
1198
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:27,500
waiting on a blue blood program
to come calling as it takes
1199
01:14:27,900 --> 01:14:32,400
through whether that's this year
or whether that's two to three
1200
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,300
years from now.
Now, after he's LED since e, 22
1201
01:14:35,300 --> 01:14:38,900
straight college football
playoffs, but exactly, and
1202
01:14:38,900 --> 01:14:43,000
whatever whatever it is.
Yeah, I think fickle because of
1203
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,200
that move because of the new
money that's going to be coming
1204
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:48,900
into that school because of that
move because of their being
1205
01:14:48,900 --> 01:14:51,200
bump, he's going to get because
of that move.
1206
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,800
He doesn't need to go anywhere.
Yep, he gets, he's gets to wait
1207
01:14:55,800 --> 01:15:00,700
till he is ready.
The fit is right 100% for him.
1208
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:04,800
And, you know, probably the
Price is Right as well, if they,
1209
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,000
if the Big 12 can stay kind of
the relevancy where it is right
1210
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,200
now and he starts running shop
there every year.
1211
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:15,500
Why is he ever going to leave?
I can make the playoffs every
1212
01:15:15,500 --> 01:15:17,700
year, so why am I going to leave
this?
1213
01:15:17,700 --> 01:15:21,900
So, but that's that list.
Now, let's start with the list
1214
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:25,000
of current sitting head,
coaches, we feel potentially
1215
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,700
have a shot and we're going to
start with wheel.
1216
01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:32,200
Heat, will he lie down at UNC
Charlotte?
1217
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,300
He's younger than us.
I don't know if that's a be over
1218
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,900
on you know, say what you will
but let's start this.
1219
01:15:39,900 --> 01:15:43,200
Everything says, is that he can
sell the hell out of a program.
1220
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,500
Everything you read, you hear
people talk about them, the guy
1221
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:50,000
knows how to sell a program.
He's obviously, UNCC.
1222
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:54,600
So he is clearly in Virginia
Tech's recruiting footprint, so
1223
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,500
he probably has begin building
relationships inside the state
1224
01:15:57,500 --> 01:16:01,200
of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia.
1225
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:05,000
I know South Carolina for a
fact, had a family member go to
1226
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,500
one of his camps a couple
summers ago.
1227
01:16:08,900 --> 01:16:11,900
There you go.
He did show recruiting prowess
1228
01:16:11,900 --> 01:16:16,600
at the FCS level.
So, obviously somewhat of a good
1229
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:22,700
salesman, the you of our grad
thing, we put it on here as a
1230
01:16:22,700 --> 01:16:25,600
pro because at least if you're
a, you of our grad, you've been
1231
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,100
in the state and you sow know,
the hierarchy, you know, the lay
1232
01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:31,900
of the land, you know how the
college high school ranks,
1233
01:16:31,900 --> 01:16:34,700
operate to some degree.
And you probably know the
1234
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:36,800
importance of Virginia Tech
football to people.
1235
01:16:37,300 --> 01:16:39,000
Yep.
Go to you of are you probably
1236
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,100
dealing with?
Body whose family is a hokey and
1237
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:44,600
lose their minds more than
likely at least one coach on
1238
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:51,300
that staff, is either a former
hokey or has ties to the program
1239
01:16:51,300 --> 01:16:52,500
in some way.
Yeah.
1240
01:16:52,700 --> 01:16:56,000
And then, Brian you threw this
on here because this wasn't on
1241
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:03,000
here the other day Club lit.
A, he likes to have a fun locker
1242
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,100
room.
Yeah, there are no silent
1243
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:08,000
dinners there.
There's no quiet.
1244
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,700
Getting ready for a game.
He lets the kids hang loose
1245
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:16,100
because I think a, he's a young
enough guy because he's 34, I
1246
01:17:16,100 --> 01:17:20,600
believe it's still in the back
of his mind, probably his
1247
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:25,100
college days, and the looser,
you are, the less you think
1248
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:29,900
about.
So there the pros, Shout out
1249
01:17:29,900 --> 01:17:32,200
club lit.
You know who you are out there?
1250
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,200
Let's go with the cons.
Brian, what are you saying?
1251
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,600
I mean, the biggest one, you
never coached at a power five
1252
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:43,900
school at any level position
anything.
1253
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:51,300
He below. 500 as a head coach.
Now, I will throw out there that
1254
01:17:51,300 --> 01:17:55,600
his first year at Austin Peay
brings this metric down
1255
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,300
significantly.
But overall is a head coach.
1256
01:17:59,300 --> 01:18:04,400
He is, he is well below 500 so
that's something that could be a
1257
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:09,600
red flag for a lot of folks.
Even He's had some success at a
1258
01:18:09,900 --> 01:18:14,100
place like UNC Charlotte, that
hasn't seen a ton of it, so
1259
01:18:14,900 --> 01:18:18,500
that's one thing to look at and
really he was a we've got a
1260
01:18:18,508 --> 01:18:22,700
limited sample size of him as a
FPS head coach at this point.
1261
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:27,700
So we're not sure you know, is
what he's been doing the early
1262
01:18:27,700 --> 01:18:31,800
returns something that will
Trend over a five-year span or
1263
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,800
is that something that, you
know, the Fuente pump that we
1264
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,100
saw in, 18 and 17 that will
Peter off.
1265
01:18:39,500 --> 01:18:44,100
Yeah.
And, you know, the UNC Charlotte
1266
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:47,500
is an upstart program, you know,
it's one of those.
1267
01:18:48,900 --> 01:18:52,500
You to FBS.
So him getting that job was
1268
01:18:52,500 --> 01:18:55,800
crazy in the first place and he
said, middle and success.
1269
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,900
There he did go to a bowl game
as first-year had a great
1270
01:18:58,900 --> 01:19:06,100
turnaround at Austin Peay and
what you here again about this
1271
01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:09,600
guy is, if you want to get
excitement going and getting
1272
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,300
people to pay, it seems like he
is that type.
1273
01:19:12,300 --> 01:19:15,800
He is a see, he's never coached
a P5, not not a lot of
1274
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,700
positions.
I know you mentioned his Have
1275
01:19:18,700 --> 01:19:23,900
got it up here his Chattanooga
when he was there for six years,
1276
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:30,000
it's just labeled assistant that
even guys who coach it that
1277
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,200
level.
Normally if you go look up
1278
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,900
something out there on them.
It gives a little more detail
1279
01:19:36,500 --> 01:19:42,100
but just an assistant there you
know it did say does some
1280
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:45,700
quarterback coaching wide
receiver coaching recruiting
1281
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:47,500
coordinator passing game
coordinator.
1282
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,000
So it literally sounds like if
they had a position to be
1283
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:52,900
filled, they just gave it to
him.
1284
01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:56,900
Which is, I don't know if that's
good or bad.
1285
01:19:57,700 --> 01:20:03,200
So, I mean, I could I could deal
with Healy.
1286
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,500
I would worry about the staff,
though, because he doesn't have
1287
01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:12,100
that many connections.
I think there would be money for
1288
01:20:12,100 --> 01:20:15,000
the staff.
I really do because I don't
1289
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,600
know.
Yeah, I don't think he would
1290
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,700
want to five million dollars?
No, no.
1291
01:20:19,900 --> 01:20:24,400
He's more of a probably to meal
or less would get it done for
1292
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:31,200
him that opens up some more for
your assistant coach salary
1293
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,500
pool.
It run up the numbers later as
1294
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,100
Reach For Excellence, reaches
its peak and when you get some
1295
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:39,600
more room to have some
flexibility there, so there's
1296
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,100
some options there.
If you get Healy in as your head
1297
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:47,500
coach, especially if he's able
to sell the program here, like
1298
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:53,000
he's been able to do elsewhere.
But it's a lot of risk involved
1299
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,400
there.
You don't know exactly what
1300
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,200
you're getting is, a head coach
because of the limit sample size
1301
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,100
and you don't know how that
success or at least middling
1302
01:21:01,100 --> 01:21:04,100
success will translate to power
5.
1303
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:07,600
All right.
Ian Brown, who you got next?
1304
01:21:09,100 --> 01:21:12,100
Next up, this one's going to be
fun to talk about.
1305
01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:14,900
It's David, Claussen head coach
Wake Forest.
1306
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,900
You know, we got some pros here
that will talk about.
1307
01:21:19,900 --> 01:21:25,700
We got some cons for the pros.
It's a guy that's been really
1308
01:21:25,700 --> 01:21:28,900
successful at every stop, even
if he hasn't necessarily Blown
1309
01:21:28,900 --> 01:21:31,600
Away In The Wind, the win-loss
record, he's definitely been
1310
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,200
successful.
And he is a Player Development
1311
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,000
Guru.
If you if you want a guy that
1312
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,500
can take your three star and
turn them into all-conference
1313
01:21:41,500 --> 01:21:44,900
players, he's got the ability to
do that.
1314
01:21:45,900 --> 01:21:49,000
Got connections to Virginia
recruiting from his time at
1315
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:50,300
Richmond.
From his current time.
1316
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:58,100
At Wake Forest, he is a mi
kyung, High floor, type higher
1317
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:11,100
u.s. trying now. you know, it's
a guy that You know, you
1318
01:22:11,100 --> 01:22:14,200
probably need the right guys
around him too, but he's not,
1319
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,700
he's never going to be a guy
that will go out there and get U
1320
01:22:17,700 --> 01:22:20,700
sub 500 records in back-to-back
Seasons.
1321
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:23,700
He may not get you to the
promised land though unless a
1322
01:22:23,700 --> 01:22:27,200
lot of things go as way.
He understands complementary
1323
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:31,400
football, a lot of times when
you see the one side of the
1324
01:22:31,407 --> 01:22:34,700
ball, go down the other side.
Can tries to pick it up.
1325
01:22:35,300 --> 01:22:42,500
That didn't happen this past
weekend, but And it's a guy with
1326
01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:45,600
the right offense in the right,
right?
1327
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,500
Flow of the game, can score
bunch of points and get the
1328
01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:52,700
right pieces in place there.
But there are some cons to this
1329
01:22:52,700 --> 01:22:56,200
higher Curtis what you got.
Well the biggest con is high,
1330
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:59,000
he's never been at a high
priority on.
1331
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:04,700
He's only been at 1/2 pry
profile program in his long
1332
01:23:04,700 --> 01:23:06,900
tenured coach in here and that
was one years in OC at
1333
01:23:06,900 --> 01:23:09,800
Tennessee.
He never had any Vacations,
1334
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,600
there's no expectations at U of
R.
1335
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:16,000
There was none in Bowling Green,
there's none at Wake Forest.
1336
01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:21,600
So immediately you walk in and
you sit here at Wake Forest if
1337
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,800
they go seven and five for the
next decade and make a bowl at
1338
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:31,000
programs happier and hell.
They are the other, the other
1339
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:36,300
big things is as much success as
he's had, we're winning and
1340
01:23:36,300 --> 01:23:38,000
going to bowls.
He's never really seen a
1341
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,700
recruiting on the currently.
They're sitting 59th, I think
1342
01:23:40,700 --> 01:23:44,200
maybe 49th and I looked at that
wrong in 24/7.
1343
01:23:44,500 --> 01:23:48,100
So usually you see a guy, get
tenured and win some games.
1344
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,100
It's you're going to start
picking off a four star here and
1345
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:57,100
there he hasn't.
And is that just, you know, way
1346
01:23:57,100 --> 01:24:00,300
cuz they is a smaller school,
it's a private school.
1347
01:24:00,300 --> 01:24:03,200
It's more difficult to get into.
Could that be it?
1348
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,300
Or it could it be?
He just doesn't know how to
1349
01:24:05,300 --> 01:24:13,200
pitch anybody, that worries me.
Now the last one here is he's
1350
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:18,100
never really used the portal.
He redshirts everybody and at
1351
01:24:18,100 --> 01:24:21,300
wait there's not Damon image and
likeness situations to start
1352
01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:24,400
dealing with that.
I think can be dealt with find
1353
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:30,000
the right compliance officers,
but the one of not a lot of
1354
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:34,400
portal.
We are in an era where you have
1355
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:38,900
to use the world, you have to,
because whoever comes in here
1356
01:24:38,900 --> 01:24:42,800
next year, you're probably
looking at portal quarterback.
1357
01:24:43,900 --> 01:24:48,800
Probably some portal defensive
lineman 22 portal quarterback.
1358
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:55,600
Okay, and this is, this is my
thing.
1359
01:24:59,300 --> 01:25:02,400
I think a Dave Clawson with what
he does.
1360
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:08,200
I think if he went to a Florida
and or LSU, he could potentially
1361
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,700
have better success.
They recruit themselves and it's
1362
01:25:11,700 --> 01:25:16,200
easy to just go get to Ace
recruiters and say here, 750,000
1363
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,900
dollars, go recruit when we get
close to closing time, I'll come
1364
01:25:19,900 --> 01:25:22,500
in and have a conversation with
you, by my side to close the
1365
01:25:22,500 --> 01:25:29,900
deal on the kid.
My deal with Claussen is that I
1366
01:25:29,900 --> 01:25:34,300
just don't think he is the type
of guy that can relate to
1367
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:39,300
Virginia talent that we need to
bring in the foreign 5 Star kids
1368
01:25:39,300 --> 01:25:42,700
in the state.
I don't think that that's a good
1369
01:25:42,700 --> 01:25:45,800
fit for him.
I think that's where that's
1370
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,800
where that's where it's a deal
breaker for me.
1371
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:54,900
I mean a lot of ways, he has
less personality than Fuente
1372
01:25:56,100 --> 01:26:02,400
times and I I get that he has
more of a grasp on how to
1373
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:06,400
recruit the area than Fuente
did, but if that's not turning
1374
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:10,000
into recruiting wins then it
doesn't really matter that
1375
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,100
you've got a better grasp.
So I just I just I don't think
1376
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:16,200
he's the he's not a very good
juice candidate.
1377
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:20,300
He doesn't bring the juice and
he's in his mid-50s.
1378
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,800
Yeah.
So and it's not just because
1379
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:26,000
he's older, I don't whether he
was old young and different.
1380
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,000
His personality is not, he's not
a juice, the locker room, he's
1381
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:30,900
not He doesn't juice the
program.
1382
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,300
Nobody's getting excited that we
got Dave Clawson, except maybe a
1383
01:26:35,300 --> 01:26:37,900
bunch of guys that are in their
60s that are like.
1384
01:26:37,900 --> 01:26:42,000
All right, well, we're at least
win seven games every year, we
1385
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,700
don't want that.
Hey Brian.
1386
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,300
Let's talk about the next guy
here.
1387
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,900
Jamie Chadwell head.
Coach Coastal Carolina.
1388
01:26:53,900 --> 01:27:02,200
What's our Pros on him?
So, Jamie Chadwell for the pros.
1389
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:06,200
He's won everywhere.
He's been He hasn't been a lot
1390
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:07,600
of places but he's won
everywhere.
1391
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:13,300
He's seen success in a difficult
G5 conference.
1392
01:27:13,300 --> 01:27:14,900
So that's something to talk
about there.
1393
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,200
He's got an offensive Focus,
great offensive numbers.
1394
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,200
I think we need probably going
to still need some good
1395
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,800
offensive numbers because I
think we will be able to bring
1396
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:28,600
in a defensive guy.
It'll be interesting to see how
1397
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:32,100
we, how we recruit for offense,
especially the way our roster is
1398
01:27:32,100 --> 01:27:34,300
built right now we're going to
need somebody that can focus on
1399
01:27:34,300 --> 01:27:36,300
that to get.
That built back up.
1400
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,800
So that's a positive in my mind.
He's got Regional recruiting
1401
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,500
ties.
He's been recruiting the the
1402
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:48,100
Mid-Atlantic for a while now.
And he was a near unanimous
1403
01:27:48,300 --> 01:27:52,300
coach of the year in 2020.
Pretty much every publication,
1404
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,600
that offers that type of award
named Jamie Chadwell coach of
1405
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:01,100
the year.
But Curtis, there's some Cons
1406
01:28:01,100 --> 01:28:04,600
with this with this higher,
which you got for me quite a few
1407
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,700
cons and what I'm going to add
here at the end, we didn't talk
1408
01:28:06,700 --> 01:28:09,600
about but having a conversation
with somebody over the weekend
1409
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:10,800
and I'll give a shout out when
we get there.
1410
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:14,400
First of all, similar to will
Healey no power 5.
1411
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,400
Experience at all.
None, he's been at North
1412
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,300
Greenville.
Delta State, Charleston,
1413
01:28:20,300 --> 01:28:25,400
Southern and college.
Excuse me, Coastal Carolina, not
1414
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,400
College of Charleston.
That would be hilarious.
1415
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,800
So none.
Next limited, sample size is a
1416
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:39,100
head coach at G5 Coastal
Carolina, just recently, flipped
1417
01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:42,700
over.
So, not a lot of experience
1418
01:28:42,700 --> 01:28:44,600
there.
A lot of experience elsewhere.
1419
01:28:46,100 --> 01:28:49,800
His best season was the coach
season, a very weird funky
1420
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,500
season.
They only lost one game that
1421
01:28:53,500 --> 01:28:59,900
year and if I can go back and
recall, I think that was who
1422
01:28:59,900 --> 01:29:03,000
they lose that game to give me a
melona effort this up.
1423
01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:09,000
The only game they lost was to
Liberty in a bowl.
1424
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:14,900
So, you know, even that year,
best living the best Liberty
1425
01:29:14,900 --> 01:29:17,400
team ever, best little buddy
team ever.
1426
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:21,400
Yes, we know all about that the
other piece is because of
1427
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:25,400
similar to Healy, and I
mentioned it before he, bringing
1428
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,200
the type of Staff, we need to
win, can you bring in the light
1429
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,000
recruiters the right
coordinators?
1430
01:29:30,500 --> 01:29:35,000
Would not having that experience
with a lot of connections, have
1431
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,200
bigger programs getting a sell
them to come here.
1432
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,400
The other thing I'm going to put
it as a again, as a con problem,
1433
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:49,000
with our boy delft over the
weekend, It is kind of a
1434
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,200
gimmicky, he was trying to
compare to Georgia Tech.
1435
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,600
It's not Georgia Tech because
they throw the ball 20 plus
1436
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,100
times a game.
But if you look at it, it is a
1437
01:29:58,108 --> 01:30:00,100
gimmicky offense.
It's essentially a shotgun
1438
01:30:00,100 --> 01:30:03,800
triple option with with passing.
Yep.
1439
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:13,900
And You know that worries me
essentially if you don't have
1440
01:30:13,900 --> 01:30:17,500
the right trigger man, can it
run exactly?
1441
01:30:17,700 --> 01:30:19,700
Now he's had a yet a really good
trigger man.
1442
01:30:19,700 --> 01:30:23,800
This year again, they still
average more but the question
1443
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:28,000
would be once you get I think
delft is making a point.
1444
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,300
Is once people get it on tape.
Does it still work?
1445
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,500
Try to say what the Fuente
offense that people sold it out?
1446
01:30:35,500 --> 01:30:38,500
Know the one day off.
Sense to me, it's still not
1447
01:30:38,500 --> 01:30:41,100
completely figured out.
Because even as bad as offensive
1448
01:30:41,100 --> 01:30:45,800
coordinator, as cornelison is
there are times like, you know,
1449
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:50,500
when we can get 400 yards of
total offense, And his play
1450
01:30:50,500 --> 01:30:57,900
calls are shit.
So I mean if we hire Chadwell I
1451
01:30:57,900 --> 01:31:00,700
would be said they're critical
of the staff, more than anything
1452
01:31:00,700 --> 01:31:04,000
sound similar to Healy.
Okay.
1453
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Yeah, the only thing I had
actually give Healy potential
1454
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:13,800
not over Chadwell just because I
could see Healy selling the
1455
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:15,800
program better than Chad.
Well, even though I think
1456
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,700
Chadwell might be the better X's
and O's guy, I see Chad, well,
1457
01:31:19,700 --> 01:31:28,600
it's kind of went a 2.0 in a lot
of ways so that that to me is,
1458
01:31:28,700 --> 01:31:30,600
is kind of what I would stay
away from.
1459
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:35,100
I feel like you might have the
same Same type of outcome.
1460
01:31:35,100 --> 01:31:38,300
If you go Chadwell that you had
with one day you might see a
1461
01:31:38,300 --> 01:31:42,300
bump initially but over time
you'd see it kind of Peter out.
1462
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:48,500
All right, this is essentially
now we're at our top three.
1463
01:31:49,700 --> 01:31:53,200
And I think the next guy is
probably solid to where the two
1464
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:58,100
top guys are 1A and 1B, but
let's go.
1465
01:31:58,300 --> 01:32:01,500
Let's go.
Tom Herman, Tom Herman former
1466
01:32:01,500 --> 01:32:05,900
Texas in Houston coach currently
is a bear's offensive analyst
1467
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:09,800
after seeing what they did today
against the Ravens.
1468
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:13,100
This might hurt his case, but we
digress.
1469
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:15,600
What do you see in this Pros for
Tommy Herman?
1470
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,300
The first one, I'll throw this
out there.
1471
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,100
We wanted him six years ago and
couldn't quite get it done.
1472
01:32:25,500 --> 01:32:28,600
That's a big one.
He is the best coach not named
1473
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:32,800
Mack Brown since 1986.
I've been four other coaches.
1474
01:32:33,500 --> 01:32:38,300
He's the only one to get them
somewhat back into a level of
1475
01:32:38,300 --> 01:32:42,200
relevancy.
Since Mack Brown left, and Mack
1476
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:47,000
Brown kind of left in a
inauspicious way there in terms
1477
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,900
of where the program was left.
So, Did pretty good.
1478
01:32:51,900 --> 01:32:54,100
All things considering
especially the dumpster fire
1479
01:32:54,100 --> 01:33:01,500
that he inherited from Charlie.
So you know that's one thing to
1480
01:33:01,500 --> 01:33:06,300
put it, put in his in his cap
there he was 22 and 4 at
1481
01:33:06,300 --> 01:33:08,600
Houston.
Including a Peach Bowl victory.
1482
01:33:10,100 --> 01:33:12,400
He won every Bowl.
He played in while he was at
1483
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:17,800
Texas or he coached in a Texas,
he was 70% win percentage as a
1484
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:21,400
head coach.
And he was the offensive
1485
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,000
coordinator and quarterback
coach for a national title team
1486
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,600
at Ohio State.
Pretty good resume.
1487
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:32,700
Their big stops head coaching
experience of the power 5 level.
1488
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,900
Just a lot of lot of boxes
checked with, with Tom Herman
1489
01:33:36,900 --> 01:33:39,400
here.
And overall, I mean, we didn't
1490
01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:43,600
have it listed here but good
recruiting background as well.
1491
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:46,300
Yeah.
Good recruiting background on
1492
01:33:46,300 --> 01:33:49,400
the cons are kind of as follows
though and I've got a few and
1493
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:51,200
I'm going to flip one more Pro
on here.
1494
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:53,400
He did take a year off
Collegiate football.
1495
01:33:54,300 --> 01:33:59,100
He went to the NFL level, I
think some people expected him
1496
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,300
to land somewhere at some
school.
1497
01:34:01,300 --> 01:34:06,700
Maybe it's savings or back at
Ohio State, but he didn't, which
1498
01:34:06,700 --> 01:34:12,500
was very telling to me really no
major ties to recruiting in our
1499
01:34:12,500 --> 01:34:17,100
region.
I see that as a negative because
1500
01:34:17,100 --> 01:34:21,500
he's got to start understanding
the mindset because he is a
1501
01:34:21,508 --> 01:34:25,100
state of Texas coach.
Yeah, we got his background
1502
01:34:25,100 --> 01:34:28,200
stuff from, but I think when you
have a guy who's been at bigger
1503
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:32,800
programs, it's a lot easier.
I think he would walk in and
1504
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:35,800
say, Here's my three Virginia,
guys.
1505
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:37,900
Here's my three guys deeper down
south.
1506
01:34:37,900 --> 01:34:40,000
Here's my three guys from or up
West.
1507
01:34:40,500 --> 01:34:44,900
I'm going to listen to them.
And what they tell me about how
1508
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:47,000
I need to approach each section
of the country.
1509
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:49,300
I think it's why he's had
success.
1510
01:34:49,300 --> 01:34:54,600
Now my other piece Pro, This guy
got fired after going seven and
1511
01:34:54,608 --> 01:34:59,100
three last year.
His three losses was an overtime
1512
01:34:59,100 --> 01:35:04,800
loss to the Sooners, in the
shootout, hip and then two
1513
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:09,100
losses by Less Than 3 points.
And they fired him.
1514
01:35:10,500 --> 01:35:13,600
Clearly he irritated some big
booster down there after the
1515
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:20,200
bulb, my opinion, but I like
Herman.
1516
01:35:20,700 --> 01:35:23,200
Um, I think Herman could put a
good staff together.
1517
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:25,900
I think guys would work for
Herman because they know again.
1518
01:35:26,100 --> 01:35:31,700
70% winning, you went 70 percent
clip, you know, roughly every
1519
01:35:31,700 --> 01:35:34,100
three or four years.
That's that's ten wins a year,
1520
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,000
dip.
And I felt like the, the really
1521
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,500
only - that I think moves the
needle for me is that he is a
1522
01:35:40,508 --> 01:35:44,800
Texas region guy.
How will he adjust to that in
1523
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,800
the Mid-Atlantic?
Will he make that adjustment?
1524
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:50,900
And I think he can but that's
really the only I think red flag
1525
01:35:50,900 --> 01:35:55,400
for me that really matters
because that's the one that's
1526
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:59,400
going to be the most important
to kind of flip in the other
1527
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,200
direction.
All right, Brian.
1528
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,300
So we got to the top of the
mountain and we have a one a and
1529
01:36:05,300 --> 01:36:06,500
one B.
We're going to start with the
1530
01:36:06,500 --> 01:36:11,100
one be on.
Let's talk about the head coach
1531
01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:13,200
down at louisiana-lafayette
Billy Napier.
1532
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:19,000
Yep, a lot of Pros here.
Obviously we got to experience
1533
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:23,200
as a head coach solid program
that he's put together down at
1534
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,100
Lafayette.
Kind of built that back up real
1535
01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:29,300
quick.
When and some big-time games
1536
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,800
big-time program experience
since he's been coaching.
1537
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:35,900
So he's had some stops, a big,
big programs.
1538
01:36:36,900 --> 01:36:40,300
Obviously, we talked about it.
We're talking about Alabama as
1539
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:45,000
being the big one there and
Speaking of Alabama, he is a
1540
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,400
disciple of the Saban model if
you did not read the athletic
1541
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:54,200
article on that.
It's wild like literally 280 and
1542
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:57,700
pretty great.
Every aspect of the saving model
1543
01:36:57,700 --> 01:37:00,900
gets put into place at
Lafayette.
1544
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:06,500
He runs that program like a
power five program and he
1545
01:37:06,500 --> 01:37:09,600
recruits the state well despite
just being a G5 program.
1546
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,600
So that's a big thing that
they're pulling in a couple you
1547
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:16,700
know French Our star players for
Star players, they're doing,
1548
01:37:16,700 --> 01:37:19,300
they're doing some things down
there, that most G5 programs
1549
01:37:19,300 --> 01:37:24,500
don't do.
Any took over, you know, solid
1550
01:37:24,500 --> 01:37:29,000
Raging Raging Cajun program and
made you know, that Team Elite.
1551
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:35,400
They're really running the the
good old Sun Belt now so and he
1552
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:40,800
has a great recruiting profile
including is one painful.
1553
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,400
One for every hokey thing
because the Taj Taj Boyd's on
1554
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,300
there.
Yeah, the downfall.
1555
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:50,300
Yeah.
So he was at Clemson back in the
1556
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:57,900
late 2000s and recruited Tajh,
Boyd.
1557
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:03,600
And as some other big time names
from when he was at Alabama,
1558
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:05,800
including Jerry Judy and a
couple other guys.
1559
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:11,000
So yeah, he's got a who's who of
recruiting so recruiting would
1560
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:15,100
take a big bump if we were able
to make Make that that, that
1561
01:38:15,100 --> 01:38:17,200
pull work.
But what are some of those cons
1562
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,300
there, buddy?
Well, it's a symbol to the point
1563
01:38:20,300 --> 01:38:24,400
a situation six years ago, it's
another G5 darling, he's doing
1564
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:30,700
great things at the G5 level.
He's you know, he's double digit
1565
01:38:30,700 --> 01:38:33,900
wins for second season down in
Louisiana Lafayette.
1566
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:39,700
Reports that he's been offered
and he's passed on other jobs on
1567
01:38:39,700 --> 01:38:42,800
the Auburn and South Carolina
jobs are kind of the first two
1568
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,700
that kind of open your eyes.
There's more money there.
1569
01:38:45,700 --> 01:38:52,600
There's definitely definitely,
you know, especially Auburn lots
1570
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:55,500
easier to recruit down there
much easier to recruit and it
1571
01:38:55,500 --> 01:39:00,000
all over.
So, it's why didn't he take
1572
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,000
those jobs is something he's
truly trying to find that
1573
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,100
perfect fit.
And could we be it?
1574
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,400
And he really has no establish
DMV test.
1575
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:13,600
He got Boyd back 10 years ago
but there's, there's not a lot
1576
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,100
here.
He was born in Cookeville,
1577
01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:17,100
Tennessee.
He grew up in the northern part
1578
01:39:17,100 --> 01:39:19,100
of Georgia.
He's only about five hours from
1579
01:39:19,100 --> 01:39:20,800
Blacksburg from where he grew
up.
1580
01:39:21,100 --> 01:39:27,400
So it's one of those things.
He's not extremely, did not grow
1581
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:31,100
up extremely far from
Blacksburg, but definitely a
1582
01:39:31,100 --> 01:39:38,300
ways and the G5 darling thing we
put on there.
1583
01:39:39,900 --> 01:39:42,500
It is, it happens, every time.
It happened to Herman and
1584
01:39:42,500 --> 01:39:47,300
happened to Fuente, and they'll
be more but to what Brian said,
1585
01:39:47,300 --> 01:39:54,000
in the pros category Napier was
at Clemson. 06 07 08 09.
1586
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,300
He got let go, I believe in 10.
I think I had his stuff up here.
1587
01:39:58,700 --> 01:40:02,400
Dabo let him go.
And that's one of those things
1588
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:08,700
to where he was not dabo's guy.
He was originally told me about
1589
01:40:08,700 --> 01:40:11,700
this guy.
He was there through 10 so we
1590
01:40:11,700 --> 01:40:14,200
got fired at the end of 10th
when he brought on Chad Morris.
1591
01:40:15,500 --> 01:40:19,400
But he had that stop five years
of the program like Clemson even
1592
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:23,400
in the mid-2000s, when they were
not the best team, then Florida
1593
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:28,100
State were still, the closest
SEC type programs in the ACC.
1594
01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:31,700
So, is there five years?
Tight ends running game
1595
01:40:31,700 --> 01:40:36,400
coordinator 0c n QB, coach.
He went to Alabama's an analyst,
1596
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:39,000
he's been an associate head
coach of Colorado, State under
1597
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,400
mcilwain.
And then he went to Alabama 13
1598
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:46,900
14 15 16 and you Alabama
recruits itself but you still
1599
01:40:46,900 --> 01:40:51,200
have to go in there and do the
work and it's impressive from
1600
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:55,100
there.
He did one student in 2017 is an
1601
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:59,300
OC and then he's been at
louisiana-lafayette since then.
1602
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:06,000
I think he gets the bigger
picture and I think having that
1603
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:10,000
much time at those big programs
That's the biggest difference.
1604
01:41:10,300 --> 01:41:12,100
People are going to come and say
it to us Brown.
1605
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:16,300
Well we went to is with
Patterson at TCU, what was TCU
1606
01:41:16,500 --> 01:41:19,300
during the time, he was there.
What type of program?
1607
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,700
Do you have?
They might have been in a lychee
1608
01:41:23,700 --> 01:41:30,100
path but it was a G5 program.
DC was kind of what, you know,
1609
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:34,400
not quite what since he is baby.
What U CF was a few years back.
1610
01:41:34,500 --> 01:41:37,500
Yeah, but it's still it's
different.
1611
01:41:37,900 --> 01:41:41,600
It's who you're across the field
from every week is different.
1612
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,400
Even with they pierced in an
Arizona stayed out in the
1613
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,000
Pac-12.
It's different across the field.
1614
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:52,200
It's more Talent.
Then coaching at ECU and the
1615
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:56,600
early part of the 2010s.
That's my big thing with him.
1616
01:41:57,900 --> 01:42:00,200
Yeah.
And like I said, the, the thing
1617
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:04,100
that where he runs that program,
like a power 5 is the thing that
1618
01:42:04,300 --> 01:42:07,200
really impresses me.
And I think that's that carries
1619
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:11,400
over immediately, because he's
not having to really change a
1620
01:42:11,407 --> 01:42:13,300
whole lot of his day-to-day
operations.
1621
01:42:13,300 --> 01:42:15,900
He's selling the program.
Like a power five program.
1622
01:42:15,900 --> 01:42:20,200
He is fundamentally setting up,
practice and lifting and
1623
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,600
Workouts of all that stuff.
Like it's a power five program.
1624
01:42:24,300 --> 01:42:28,200
He's planning out his month day
and week like it's a powerful
1625
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:31,400
program, he's ready to take that
step.
1626
01:42:32,500 --> 01:42:36,400
So the question is are we going
to make it make an offer for him
1627
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,500
to do that?
And is he going to accept that
1628
01:42:39,500 --> 01:42:41,700
offer?
Because more than likely he's
1629
01:42:41,700 --> 01:42:46,400
going to have at least some of
those other programs at our
1630
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,500
level calling if not the LSU's
and Florida's.
1631
01:42:50,300 --> 01:42:54,100
It's very, very true.
Alright, well, let's flip over.
1632
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:58,300
Let's get our one egg and Brian,
let's go back and forth with the
1633
01:42:58,300 --> 01:43:00,200
pros in the column.
Because this is our guy.
1634
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:05,100
We actually again we have been
sitting at the table and this is
1635
01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:06,700
our guy.
He might not be everybody's one
1636
01:43:06,700 --> 01:43:09,700
but he's our one.
Yep Charles Huff.
1637
01:43:10,300 --> 01:43:16,500
It is the Marshal head coach and
Brian let's kind of expunged
1638
01:43:16,500 --> 01:43:19,900
upon his prose and then we'll
talk about the cons.
1639
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:26,800
He grew up in the DMV.
Yep, Marilyn Guy, Maryland guy.
1640
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:34,900
So he grew up in it.
Yeah, you have a feeling that he
1641
01:43:34,900 --> 01:43:37,900
understands.
Finally Maryland probably
1642
01:43:37,900 --> 01:43:40,100
understands Virginia, he grew up
in it.
1643
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,600
Yeah not only grew up in it but
went to college at Hampton in
1644
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:49,600
the 757 actually.
While he was there blocked for
1645
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,300
the same running back that I
blocked for in high school
1646
01:43:52,300 --> 01:43:55,300
Alonzo.
Coleman shout-out, Halifax
1647
01:43:55,300 --> 01:44:00,900
County Hall of Famer Alonzo
Coleman in the Charles Charles
1648
01:44:00,900 --> 01:44:03,200
up with us.
As helpful as a center for
1649
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,500
Hampton, when he was there in
the early 2000s.
1650
01:44:08,100 --> 01:44:10,300
Oh, some of the better Hamptons
squads as well.
1651
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:14,100
I know Alonzo broke some records
while he was running back there.
1652
01:44:14,100 --> 01:44:18,700
So so Huff was put Paving the
way for Alonzo to break records
1653
01:44:18,700 --> 01:44:20,900
to hand-painted in the
mid-2000s.
1654
01:44:21,300 --> 01:44:26,900
So from the 757 went to Hampton,
I don't think they would be even
1655
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,400
even coming from the DMV going
down in there.
1656
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:33,000
I got a feeling he understands
the culture down. 275 and The
1657
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:38,700
Importance of Being a of that
area to recruiting.
1658
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:43,200
Absolutely.
So this is a biggie and I don't
1659
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:48,000
give a damn where he was at.
He is always crushed Virginia
1660
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,600
recruiting And everywhere else,
but he's really done a damn good
1661
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,300
job in Virginia especially this
time at Penn State.
1662
01:44:56,700 --> 01:44:59,500
And I know people are going to
say, well, he was at Penn State.
1663
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:03,500
It's once again, he had the
program.
1664
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:10,000
He still had to sell it.
He likely understands everything
1665
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,900
in high school.
I'm like, Justin Fuente, Brian.
1666
01:45:14,300 --> 01:45:17,000
I got a feeling he could walk
into your buddy down at Oscar
1667
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,500
Smith, I bet he already knows
him.
1668
01:45:19,700 --> 01:45:23,000
Yeah, I bet.
So I bet he knows Lauren
1669
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,200
Johnson, I bet he knows some of
the better coaches in Northern.
1670
01:45:26,700 --> 01:45:31,300
It would not be a, I need to
learn what these people do and
1671
01:45:31,300 --> 01:45:33,900
who they are.
It would be so, it's Charles.
1672
01:45:34,700 --> 01:45:36,200
Yeah.
It's, uh, he knows it.
1673
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,000
He already knows the lay of the
land.
1674
01:45:38,700 --> 01:45:42,400
He's a guy that they were
probably familiar with from Penn
1675
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,600
State.
He's recruited some from, for
1676
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,600
Alabama, when he was down there,
he's obviously that's part of
1677
01:45:47,608 --> 01:45:52,600
his footprint Marshall.
Now, They got the guy can just
1678
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:56,300
flat-out recruit.
I mean, you know, we can run
1679
01:45:56,300 --> 01:45:58,900
down the list of the guys, he
signed from Virginia, while he
1680
01:45:58,900 --> 01:46:01,700
was at Penn State, but it speaks
for itself.
1681
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:09,100
I mean assigned to of the best
running backs that one of the
1682
01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:12,200
better running backs that
Virginia has had in a while.
1683
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:15,200
And then he also signed say,
Quan Berkeley while it was
1684
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:19,200
there.
So Berkeley in Micah, right.
1685
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:24,100
Mike Parsons, yep.
And Ricky Slade, really know
1686
01:46:24,100 --> 01:46:26,100
that.
Didn't, that didn't work out the
1687
01:46:26,100 --> 01:46:29,100
way anybody wanted it to but
kind of didn't.
1688
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,200
All right.
Well, let's talk about this next
1689
01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:32,600
Brian.
Let's just kind of get away from
1690
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:36,800
recruiting and essentially so
one reason, he's 18 grew up in
1691
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:40,200
the area, went to college in the
area has recruited the area has
1692
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:45,500
recruited Virginia big He's been
an assistant head coach for,
1693
01:46:45,500 --> 01:46:49,500
Nick Saban amongst others who
have been assistant coaches.
1694
01:46:49,500 --> 01:46:52,000
I'll give you two names.
Mario crystal ball and Kirby
1695
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:57,800
Smart.
We're in a hc4 Saban, you go far
1696
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:02,000
if you're younger coach, it
matters it does.
1697
01:47:02,100 --> 01:47:06,400
And in a lot of people say,
well, that's just a title of
1698
01:47:06,407 --> 01:47:08,200
just means he's second in
command.
1699
01:47:09,900 --> 01:47:13,800
Yes, Nick Saban has tapped you
to be his second in command when
1700
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:17,200
he's got to go over here on a
recruiting trip but there still
1701
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:19,100
needs to be practiced that day
or next.
1702
01:47:19,100 --> 01:47:23,800
Got to do this, for some reason,
you're in charge for the day,
1703
01:47:24,700 --> 01:47:29,300
that's a lot.
Especially saving Nate exactly
1704
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,100
completely screwed on up in the
head.
1705
01:47:34,900 --> 01:47:39,000
Yeah, that's a big one for me
and, you know, the other one
1706
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,000
he's been at big-time program
since 2014, we already talked
1707
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,100
about the facades of Penn State
and Alabama.
1708
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:50,700
You definitely glean some of the
You know, tips of the trade,
1709
01:47:50,700 --> 01:47:53,600
some of the what it takes to win
at those power five stars by
1710
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:58,300
having those type of stops.
And, you know, we're seeing are
1711
01:47:58,300 --> 01:48:01,000
already at Marshall with some of
the way he's interacting on
1712
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,800
social media, some of the, the
public events we've seen, he's a
1713
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:10,900
CEO type coach, he can sell a
program, he can sell recruiting
1714
01:48:10,900 --> 01:48:15,200
to the players, he knows how to
make his program, shine out in
1715
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,900
the best way possible.
It's very, very true, man.
1716
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:22,600
I mean you see imposed he
basically tweets every week who
1717
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:24,700
his players of the week or win
or lose?
1718
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,100
I know I saw a picture of him.
He was at some local
1719
01:48:27,100 --> 01:48:29,500
establishment in Huntington,
maybe where he has breakfast or
1720
01:48:29,500 --> 01:48:32,100
lunch constantly taking a
picture with the owner.
1721
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:38,800
And you see that and understand
you just feel like he would be
1722
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,900
that engagement guy.
I feel like it's funny as if I
1723
01:48:42,907 --> 01:48:46,100
don't know if he drinks or not.
Do you feel like the first week?
1724
01:48:46,100 --> 01:48:48,000
He's there.
Like he would somehow make it to
1725
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:51,600
tots and like take a picture
with the owner having a rail.
1726
01:48:52,500 --> 01:48:58,100
He definitely have a rail at
tots and I mean he's like he
1727
01:48:58,100 --> 01:49:01,400
just seems like the type of
coach that players, like, to
1728
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:06,100
play for Community can be proud.
Proud of, and donors would be
1729
01:49:06,100 --> 01:49:08,700
willing to invest in.
And I mean, that's, that's the
1730
01:49:08,700 --> 01:49:13,700
three big things that you really
want from your head coach now
1731
01:49:13,700 --> 01:49:16,300
before, and we're talking off
the feet, obviously wins and
1732
01:49:16,300 --> 01:49:19,400
losses matter.
But in terms of off the field,
1733
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:23,300
appeal to the players appealed,
the community appeal to the
1734
01:49:23,300 --> 01:49:24,700
donors.
Yep.
1735
01:49:24,900 --> 01:49:29,600
All right, there are some cons
and the first one is the lack of
1736
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:31,400
head coach experience.
She's only been a head coach one
1737
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:32,900
year.
Yep.
1738
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,900
They went seven and for their
bowl eligible.
1739
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:40,400
They got one more game.
It'll be a tough one, but they
1740
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:42,200
probably shouldn't.
They're probably favored in that
1741
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:43,400
game.
I haven't looked at the line
1742
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,500
yet, but they're probably going
to be favored in that game.
1743
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:52,200
They are going to be favored in
that game so you can be 8 and 4
1744
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:54,100
as a head coach in his first
year.
1745
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,800
And that's not a bad program,
but they did.
1746
01:49:57,800 --> 01:50:01,200
I mean, when you completely flip
your coaching staff, I think,
1747
01:50:02,100 --> 01:50:04,200
especially as good as doc, was
there.
1748
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:09,300
That's, that's where I am.
Like, when I see, it's a lack of
1749
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:14,900
that sucks.
They let go, they just didn't
1750
01:50:14,900 --> 01:50:17,300
re-sign Doc.
Holliday, he had a damn good
1751
01:50:17,300 --> 01:50:21,000
season last year.
You imagine walking in and
1752
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:28,700
saying go match that he has, he
has now obviously the other one,
1753
01:50:28,700 --> 01:50:30,900
no P5, head coaching experience
there.
1754
01:50:31,300 --> 01:50:33,800
I think everybody on this list
with the exception of Tom
1755
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:37,000
Herman, Has no P5 coaching
experience.
1756
01:50:38,300 --> 01:50:39,700
Yep, not head coaching
experience.
1757
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,900
And it's and that's going to be,
that's going to be hard.
1758
01:50:41,900 --> 01:50:45,500
Just because our program is not
at a point right now, where we
1759
01:50:45,500 --> 01:50:50,500
can.
I mean, I sorry, Tom Herman and
1760
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,200
Dave Clawson will be the other
one.
1761
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:55,300
Well, yeah, so those would be
the two.
1762
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:58,700
Yeah, most people do.
That's that's the problem.
1763
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:05,000
But I think that's the problem
with our program right now is
1764
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:09,500
that we're kind of in that
middling area where we can hire.
1765
01:51:11,100 --> 01:51:15,800
The up-and-coming P5 coaches
that are making some noise.
1766
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:17,900
We're not quite at that level.
Those guys are going to the Blue
1767
01:51:17,900 --> 01:51:20,200
Bloods.
They already had success in the
1768
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,800
power 5 level they're getting
looks at.
1769
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,500
You know now we got LSU open
USC, open Florida.
1770
01:51:25,500 --> 01:51:35,300
Open you got Washington open.
Now the upside is that we're
1771
01:51:35,300 --> 01:51:37,900
likely not in a bunch of
competition for whoever gets
1772
01:51:37,900 --> 01:51:42,500
hired at Washington.
We're not in We're in a little
1773
01:51:42,500 --> 01:51:46,300
competition with TCU little.
Yeah.
1774
01:51:47,300 --> 01:51:52,100
Florida and LSU are probably
going to be targeting whoever
1775
01:51:52,100 --> 01:51:55,600
our top one or two candidates
are they are also targeting them
1776
01:51:55,700 --> 01:51:58,000
there at least on their list.
They may not be at the top of
1777
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,700
their list but they are on their
own these Woods.
1778
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:03,400
Absolutely.
Alright last piece is he has
1779
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:06,700
really no 0 C or D c-- coaching
experience.
1780
01:52:06,700 --> 01:52:09,600
He did do some special teams
coordinator and Run game
1781
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:14,100
coordinating.
Back to his CEO Mantra in.
1782
01:52:14,100 --> 01:52:16,800
Somebody said, is that could
that be good or bad?
1783
01:52:17,100 --> 01:52:19,000
Well, what type of Coach are you
looking for?
1784
01:52:21,700 --> 01:52:25,700
I think with his connections to
Big programs and the waves
1785
01:52:25,700 --> 01:52:29,200
traveled and is regional ties,
you would have getting getting a
1786
01:52:29,208 --> 01:52:32,600
staff that can handle the o.c.
and DC duties and not
1787
01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:36,300
necessarily needing a ton of
daily day-to-day impact from
1788
01:52:36,300 --> 01:52:39,700
your head coach.
On those areas is probably not a
1789
01:52:39,700 --> 01:52:41,200
big deal.
Yeah.
1790
01:52:41,900 --> 01:52:45,400
So there it is.
That is our list.
1791
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:52,200
A lot of candidates, you know, I
think something's out by I think
1792
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:55,200
next week, we're talking her UVA
game rap and we're talking about
1793
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:57,200
the next head coach, I really
do.
1794
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,100
I think it's going to come out,
whoever it is regardless of
1795
01:53:00,100 --> 01:53:03,400
their situation comes out next
week because I think whoever it
1796
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,400
is, especially if it's one of
these guys already coaching
1797
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,500
somewhere and if they're in the
championship game.
1798
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,200
There is going to be it's going
to be that split.
1799
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:16,500
Do you see so many teams have at
this time of year?
1800
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:19,600
We're not going to discuss
pickles tonight, guys.
1801
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:22,400
Wanna hit that Thursday because
we've been almost at it for two
1802
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:26,500
hours and it's late and we got
the money around on a game up
1803
01:53:26,500 --> 01:53:28,900
top here.
So that is going to wrap up this
1804
01:53:28,900 --> 01:53:31,600

Segal.
I'm Curtis Wilson, Brian.
3
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:55,700
Go ahead.
Do it.
4
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Before we start do it.
I need to see it.
5
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,800
I need to see it surrender,
Cobra, man.
6
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,000
Yeah, your boy courtesy here is
putting a little bit of a beat
7
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,900
down on me right now.
Not not confirmed yet, but I'm
8
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:14,300
in a position where essentially
his next three players have to
9
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,200
score.
Absolutely.
10
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,600
Thing for me to win, so it ain't
happening.
11
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,800
I'm taking the Yale Solomon it.
It's all good.
12
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,500
It's it hasn't been my year.
Injuries of crush me, guys, on
13
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:28,800
the covid list of crush.
Me.
14
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,400
It just hasn't been the
championship.
15
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
You know?
Your guys aren't as focused.
16
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,000
Yeah.
Yes, I asked you you took home
17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,900
everything.
You were what 11 and 2 in the
18
00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:46,900
regular season 11 and to it.
Yeah, I crush the regular season
19
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,600
and then smoke the playoffs it.
What?
20
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
He's looking the playoffs.
Thank you on, by 30 ghost games
21
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,300
last year in the playoffs.
I don't like it was it like a
22
00:01:54,308 --> 00:01:57,100
game, it wasn't like brown was
sitting here on pins and needles
23
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,900
on a Monday night.
It was like I'm yeah absolutely
24
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,300
Squad last year and nobody was
really injured much.
25
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:07,300
So no not many in that helps.
You had a good balance.
26
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,600
You took a few risk here and
there you know the way you play
27
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,100
Fantasy like we all should but
you know I got to just throw
28
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:17,300
that in.
And there we had photos of our
29
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:23,800
teams, had a good day.
Both teams winning your Colts,
30
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:28,300
put a SmackDown on the bills.
I mean, yeah, that was that was
31
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,000
big.
Jonathan Taylor for MVP ladies
32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,800
and Gentlemen.
Let's go ahead, Hank and I mean
33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,700
for more touchdowns today,
right?
34
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:43,800
55 he got a fit.
Yeah, so yeah, you guys are now
35
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:47,700
right outside the wall.
Wildcard, the Niners.
36
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,800
And he went for over 200
all-purpose, rushing and
37
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000
receiving, he's really good.
And with the Titans losing y'all
38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,900
inch up in the division.
Every yeah, I mean, the only
39
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,600
downside is that we got to be a
full game ahead of them to
40
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,600
actually take the division.
It's not, it's no tiebreaker.
41
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,600
We don't own the, the advantage
there.
42
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,500
So we got to be a full game
ahead of them.
43
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,800
So that's the downside.
But the upside is, we just got a
44
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,600
game closer to that, it's true.
And And in the next few weeks
45
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,800
they've got Patriots Jaguar,
Steelers, 49ers, yeah, they've
46
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,100
got like a 3 and 2 record
potentially out of that.
47
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,800
And then y'all got, let's see.
The Buccaneers next week.
48
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Texans Patriots Cardinals.
Y'all got to run for path to get
49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,100
there especially if you know
Kyler and the boys get get
50
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:44,100
healthy there and they ended up
playing well today, even even
51
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,400
without Murray, they played
well.
52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,600
So it shows you the importance
in any division in football of
53
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,000
having a good backup
quarterback, right?
54
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:57,000
That likes the one you can
depend on.
55
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,000
I mean, dean or cult solid but
he still even you know, getting
56
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600
a little bit older he still can
move a little bit so he still
57
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,400
can run most more or less the
full complement of that offense
58
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,200
and and get things done so
that's helped them.
59
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,899
And you get a you get a veteran
like that that still takes care
60
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:22,700
of the football, but still can
do everything you need in that
61
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:25,100
offense.
That's what's big for them.
62
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,200
It's very true, man.
It's very true and it's you
63
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,200
again.
It just shows.
64
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,200
The importance of it again, all
levels of football and we get to
65
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000
talk about it.
Some tonight we have and do the
66
00:04:36,008 --> 00:04:40,700
Hokies here.
And let's just dive into it,
67
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:45,200
Braun.
Let's start you know, 38:26
68
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:50,000
loss, right?
My mind didn't fool me a tea and
69
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,200
3826.
I got that wrote down here
70
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,200
because I did not.
Maybe it was just having a bit.
71
00:04:58,300 --> 00:04:59,900
Busy day and it was a late
night.
72
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,300
It was a loss.
I didn't stay up and like, fever
73
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,000
over it and read a million
posts.
74
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:14,700
It ended had some family in town
taking like them, went to bed
75
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:18,700
fell asleep.
Yeah, I think a lot of this is
76
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:20,700
because we know what's coming
next.
77
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,400
Yeah, so we're not we're not
necessarily sweating.
78
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:28,800
The outcomes at this point, we
more or less want.
79
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,800
To see this team play hard play
play as good as they can, to
80
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,800
close this out, and hopefully,
get a game or two in the in the
81
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,300
win column as they go about
that, to really kind of bring
82
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:47,500
things home on a positive note.
But, you know, I think the
83
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:53,600
expectations are Kids play hard
and see what happens.
84
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,500
So we at least got part of that
out of the equation.
85
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,600
And I like some of the things I
saw from j.c. from a leadership
86
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,300
standpoint.
Again, this isn't something he's
87
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:07,100
doing long-term but I like I
like the the fact that he was
88
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:12,700
out there, you know, take taking
some chances putting putting,
89
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:17,100
putting the guys in calculated
risk situations to get back in
90
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,500
the Ballgame, once they fell
behind early and they Did the
91
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,900
onside kick is probably what
Brian's really talking about the
92
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,700
biggest.
It was a great play at the time,
93
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:30,300
it worked, it pulled us right
back in the ball game again,
94
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:32,800
calculated risk.
I know some people saying they
95
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,200
thought, the defense wasn't
playing hard.
96
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,200
I didn't see that.
I felt like the defense was
97
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800
playing hard.
I think they made some really
98
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,100
critical mistakes, but it wasn't
for lack of effort.
99
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:47,600
So, I did not see a team quit
last night that could
100
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,900
potentially happen when you had
what happened this week.
101
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:53,200
Week JC again.
You said it, calculated risks
102
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,100
made it, you know, the two-point
conversion.
103
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,300
I know it was an argument last
night.
104
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:00,400
Several places.
Why are we going for two?
105
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:05,300
I was okay with it where it
where you had the momentum, the
106
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:10,400
play call was to be desired,
which we gonna be a bigger issue
107
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,800
with the play called in the
decision.
108
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,300
There we were late enough in the
game.
109
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,400
At that point, I don't have a
big problem chasing points there
110
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:22,200
just because you do, you get it
down to a field goal.
111
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:28,500
Game versus a touchdown game, it
set yourself up there, so I
112
00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:30,700
don't have a problem with that
necessarily.
113
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Lee.
No, none.
114
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,900
None with it.
And again, him in the press or
115
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,200
afterwards, I didn't get to see
everything.
116
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,300
So awesome.
Quote took full responsibility
117
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:41,900
said.
No Asterix on this.
118
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:46,000
We lost the game.
You know and that's kind of what
119
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400
you want to hear.
Lost the game.
120
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,900
Nothing special about it.
It was my duty to go out there
121
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:56,800
and win the game and we lost.
Yeah, so you know, we've already
122
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,700
felt better about the if anybody
wants the pressure.
123
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,400
On Thursday.
We already talked about the
124
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,200
injury thing AC was quickly.
Very open and upfront about what
125
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:12,500
happened about what's going on
especially with Trey not Shadow
126
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:14,700
games or I don't know what's
happening.
127
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:17,200
You knew what was happening.
All you have to do is we'll see
128
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,500
you Saturday.
Yeah it was.
129
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,100
This is what's going on.
This is why he's doing it.
130
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:24,800
This is what's this is what it
is, and then we're going to keep
131
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400
it moving.
So we're going to see the more
132
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,500
interesting to see Monday.
Which will definitely be
133
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:33,799
watching that especially with
what, you know, what transpired
134
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,500
with tray.
But let's flip it round.
135
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,600
Let's start with the defense
because the defense had a
136
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,299
blunders worth of stuff.
It was yeah, it was probably
137
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,000
probably one of their worst
outings in a while probably
138
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
since That will Syracuse.
Probably Syracuse.
139
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:57,700
Yeah, and Sarah, but Syracuse
was more of a death by a
140
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:03,100
Thousand Cuts after a while.
Whereas you know this seem like
141
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,900
like they it seemed like they
were down this, they were down
142
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:09,300
from the get-go.
Yeah, they got they got there.
143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,500
They got their dicks kicked in
the dirt early and then it took
144
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:18,800
them a long time to get out
there and by the Time they
145
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,800
finally rally.
The offense was doing a little
146
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,100
bit, but it looked like it was
too little too late and then a
147
00:09:23,108 --> 00:09:25,900
couple more big plays happen to
kind of cap things off.
148
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:31,800
I'm writing that one down here.
Brian Dick's kicked in the dirt.
149
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:42,500
Put it on a t-shirt.
Yeah, I'm gonna say this your
150
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:44,200
version.
Which you were the Catalyst for
151
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,700
bronze.
Usually the Catalyst for the
152
00:09:45,708 --> 00:09:49,000
versions just because of his
background and playing, Thing
153
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:52,000
after my thoughts in there but
you crushed it.
154
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,400
I'll tip the cap.
Everything you said that we
155
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,400
needed to do the things.
We didn't do good it absolutely
156
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,400
cost us.
The game will start with the one
157
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,300
thing we did do good and I'm
going to ask you for a great.
158
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,400
Let's start with gap, Integrity.
Brian.
159
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,100
I mean, the rush defense and of
this wasn't really a good Miami
160
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,600
rushing team.
Only averaging about 135 yards
161
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,200
game and we completely snuffed
it out.
162
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:19,400
You know, 57 yards on six
carries.
163
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,700
What did you see?
What are you grading?
164
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,000
I guess?
Essentially the front seven and
165
00:10:23,008 --> 00:10:24,500
the team as a whole for Gap
Integrity.
166
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,500
Yeah.
This is probably one of their
167
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,900
better games overall.
I'm going to give them, I'd say
168
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:33,700
it's B plus a minus range and
I'm going to give a big
169
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:39,500
shout-out to Keyshawn artist who
was a big part of why we were
170
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:43,000
able to kind of keep some of
those potential first downs and
171
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,500
not and really one that should
have been a no first down that
172
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:51,600
turned into one on that.
That fourth down that got
173
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,000
spotted in a full half yard off.
Like it should, it should it
174
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,800
wasn't even close.
It was terrible 5 and it was
175
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,900
reviewed and what they even
better.
176
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,500
Come on said today, there was
this perfect angle.
177
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,900
You can see where the ball was
like if you stopped it like this
178
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,000
is where the line is.
This is where the ball is and
179
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,100
you put ball on the line and I
get they can't like for whatever
180
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,500
reason.
It has to be a full speed.
181
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,300
Look the when they look at it,
whatever.
182
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:26,500
But I just I don't I don't get
that.
183
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,000
But again, let's get back to
what we're talking about here.
184
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
So gapper Integrity again,
Keyshawn artist was was really
185
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,700
the, the big difference here.
He played a majority of the
186
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:40,900
snaps out there, and he really
did a good job of stepping up in
187
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,900
the gap.
Giving a hard shoulder, really?
188
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:49,200
Not letting the point of contact
drive him back anymore.
189
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,800
So, where wherever he was
getting the stick, that's where
190
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600
the tackle was made.
And I think that's the
191
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,000
difference between some of our
other linebackers is that when
192
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000
he hits you, you go down.
It's true.
193
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,900
He does bring the Thunder and he
brings the Thunder but he also
194
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:09,200
has pretty good form.
He had Thunders, he gets form.
195
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,200
It's not.
I'm gonna, you see a lot of
196
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,500
guys, they bring the Thunder and
they're not essentially rapping.
197
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:21,000
He does when he hits he still
under control and I think that's
198
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,100
awesome.
A lot of players struggle, with
199
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,200
either being bringing the bring
the lumber or forming up and
200
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,100
being under control of the
tackle, And he does a good job
201
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:36,400
of kind of finding that balance
where he can still bring a pop.
202
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,100
But but not really put himself
in a bad position.
203
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,700
Yeah, and I'm going to say this
and I know some people are going
204
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:43,200
to scream.
Well, they did all this other
205
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,000
stuff better.
They won the game but here's the
206
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,600
issue.
The reason we had that chance in
207
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,800
the second half is they couldn't
establish a wrong.
208
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,800
They couldn't establish a run at
all compared to this game could
209
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,400
have been hit right where we had
no shot because the Gap
210
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,100
Integrity sucked and they
started running the ball at will
211
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,600
taking long drives.
Even if they didn't score, they
212
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,500
break the break, the 40 punnet
deep and we weren't doing
213
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:17,800
anything offensively that game.
So, So what I'd ask people to do
214
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,500
is go back.
Think about the game.
215
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,900
If this isn't happening decent,
we don't have a fighting chance.
216
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,200
Now, the rain starts coming
down, they can't quite sling, it
217
00:13:27,208 --> 00:13:31,900
around as much as they want to
and they could run the ball, so
218
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:35,800
won't and that that enabled us
to get some some plays on
219
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,500
offense and get down the field a
couple times.
220
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,700
Have the big onside kick there.
I mean, there are several things
221
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:46,700
in there where that helped us
really get Back into that game
222
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:49,100
because it really could have
went far south.
223
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,100
If we were struggling in both
phases there.
224
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:57,000
So kudos to the the defensive
line in the linebackers, like I
225
00:13:57,008 --> 00:13:59,500
said, in particular, shout out
to Keyshawn artist.
226
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:02,100
Probably my player the game on
defense.
227
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:06,300
Nothing really negative to say
about his play and like I said,
228
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:09,600
I think overall front seven did
a decent job.
229
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:14,900
It's the secondary where well
unfortunately things started
230
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,100
falling apart.
Art, well yeah, the other thing
231
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:22,000
you said Brian was we have to
limit the big plays and okay, we
232
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,400
gave up two touchdowns over 50
yards.
233
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:30,000
I'm one but two Harley's 55
Smith, 75 literally one play
234
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,800
after we scored a touchdown,
they take it right back to where
235
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,600
it was.
Then you had Rambo had a
236
00:14:36,608 --> 00:14:40,200
39-yard.
ER George had a 32 yarder Rambo.
237
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,700
Let us up all game. 7 for 116,
we talked about him, we talked
238
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:47,900
about how highly Everybody was
how he had solid numbers at
239
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:51,300
Oklahoma.
He went over 1,000 this weekend,
240
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:56,300
that's really making it making
himself some money this year and
241
00:14:56,300 --> 00:15:02,200
then Van Dyke 375, three
touchdowns, Brian, let's hear a
242
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
your grade and then what exactly
was happening.
243
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,900
I mean, it's got to be an F,
right?
244
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:11,600
I mean, you can't give up that
many big plays and, and get a
245
00:15:11,608 --> 00:15:14,600
passing grade, and it was a lot
of things.
246
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:20,600
Number one, probably the worst
game of Jermaine wohlers career.
247
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:25,100
Yep.
And it was a, he had a very bad
248
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:28,900
first half and he only had an
okay second half.
249
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,100
Yeah.
And I'm not sure what was going
250
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:38,100
on but it was, it was little
things and big things.
251
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:41,400
It was like some some of it look
like efforts on.
252
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,400
Would look like techniques on
would just look like He's, you
253
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,500
know, he just got beat like
though.
254
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:49,900
It was kind of a little bit of a
mixed bag of everything, which
255
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:51,800
was kind of odd.
Like usually, if somebody is
256
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,300
injured, he looks like he's
injured and there were a couple
257
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:56,700
times where he was hopping
around after a play.
258
00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:00,000
Especially, I think there was
one, throw down the sideline on
259
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,900
a fade to Rambo that he got
called for PID, came up limping
260
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:07,400
right after that.
So I don't know if he's just not
261
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,300
quite there and some some of
that's best in with his mental,
262
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,700
but he's getting beaten, a bunch
of different ways. is that is
263
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,200
Can I say this?
Yeah, I think mental, you said
264
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400
it their mental.
And if you think about the first
265
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,300
big play of the game for Miami
that it was a 30, it was the 39
266
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:28,600
yard or two Rambo, he played.
Absolutely perfect coverage.
267
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:32,100
It was just a perfectly thrown
ball in a perfect catch.
268
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,700
Yeah, down the right.
Sideline and my question kind of
269
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:41,500
goes back, go back to yourself.
You're playing, you play a
270
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,200
perfect technique, play
Everything.
271
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Perfect.
And some guy just gets you
272
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,200
beats.
You sexy quarterback.
273
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:49,300
Yeah.
In that first play.
274
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:52,500
I mean, I mean that was
literally early in the game.
275
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,100
Can that be one of those things
that's just in your head, the
276
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:00,500
rest of the game and then you
awkwardly, you know, step on
277
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,400
your foot and the mental part of
Well they've already hit me.
278
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,800
I'm already played perfect
coverage.
279
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,599
I stepped on my foot wrong.
That doesn't feel right.
280
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,200
I got a pi call.
The next thing.
281
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,200
You know it's all up here and
I'm the coach's job too good for
282
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,800
this has been kind of going on
the last couple weeks, though,
283
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,800
because he had what three Pi is
against Duke.
284
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:28,300
He wasn't great.
I know some of those were one
285
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:33,300
legit Pia to.
I get that, I get that but It,
286
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,800
you know, some of this have
been, he's had some rough games,
287
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,800
the last three weeks, this is
just happen to be the one where
288
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,100
we couldn't, there was a
quarterback and a receiver that
289
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:48,700
can make him pay for it.
And and it happened.
290
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,700
And you know, it's sad to say,
like I said, I don't know if
291
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:56,500
this is just one or two bad
plays and the mental spilling
292
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:00,300
over into the physical that
definitely can happen, you know,
293
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:02,700
the whole thing, don't let one
bad play.
294
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,300
Beat you twice.
It seems to be kind of the the,
295
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,500
the thread here.
But he wasn't the only one that
296
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,600
was struggling out there in the
secondary.
297
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,700
We had obviously early, we lost,
we lost a daily.
298
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:19,800
So we ended up kind of having to
go different directions in the
299
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,300
safety area there.
So that's two fold, right?
300
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,200
So, Not only are you having to
have another guy on there for
301
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,100
more snaps, but you're not able
to give them as many as many
302
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,100
blows either.
So, is many blows.
303
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:35,100
We taught the targeting real
quick.
304
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Yeah, and I watched the pit, you
be a game second one.
305
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Same way, it was shoulder.
It was no ill intent, it was no
306
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,000
real pardoning.
It was just one of those things.
307
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,700
I'm going to throw my shoulder
into him.
308
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,500
Is it got down to my shoulder
level?
309
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,700
If you want, what do we always
say?
310
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:56,100
We go back again.
This is what the went.
311
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:59,000
They said and this is actually,
do you want to call that a
312
00:18:59,008 --> 00:19:02,200
15-yard penalty?
Sure, right.
313
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,900
Hey, that's fine.
A hit to the Head.
314
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:11,300
Fine essentially, may God's goal
or ejections for that.
315
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,900
It's bullshit.
And it's got to somehow get
316
00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:18,100
fixed in the next year or so,
Tay daily and the kid from pit
317
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:19,400
should have never been off the
field.
318
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,600
In those games, I'm going to say
Say something wild almost like
319
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,500
something.
Wild here.
320
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,200
I want the referee to have
discretion as to whether
321
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,500
something is intentional or not
and that can be the
322
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:34,800
differentiating factor between
an arc between what between
323
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,300
ejection and just unnecessary
roughness.
324
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:45,100
And the reason I say that is
because we've gotten to a point
325
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:51,400
where You're losing players that
all they did were was making a
326
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,500
football play.
Yeah, no ill intent.
327
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:58,700
No launching, no headhunting,
just trying to make like, this
328
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,600
is a guy trying to just put a
strong shoulder into a guy, to
329
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200
finish off a tackle, and all of
a sudden he drops his head.
330
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600
And there's a, there's a new
Zone there and the defender
331
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,600
can't change.
I mean, it's a bang.
332
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Bang, play.
The Defender has zero time to
333
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,400
recognize what's happening?
And it should because I think
334
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,500
that did hurt us on the back
end.
335
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,300
Because how early was that in
the game?
336
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,500
I'm trying to look through my
notes Here, second Drive.
337
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,800
I think it was 73 when that
happened, I think.
338
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,300
And get my notes Here.
Yeah, guys.
339
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,900
We keep notes.
Believe it or not?
340
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:43,900
I'm nerdy.
We are because it wasn't the
341
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:46,400
first drive.
Now, I'm pretty sure it was the
342
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,600
second drive.
If it wasn't was the third
343
00:20:54,900 --> 00:21:01,700
Either way, either way it was
garbage, it was garbage and it
344
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:03,600
definitely hurt us, especially
on the back end.
345
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,900
It's experiences.
Take daily in putting more
346
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:06,900
inexperienced guys.
In.
347
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,300
All right.
Other thing Brown, you talked
348
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:13,700
about was keep behind the sticks
and and I'm going to say this
349
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,400
when we did, keep them behind
the sticks, they struggled and
350
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,700
that was a way.
I in the third quarter and early
351
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,200
part of the fourth that we got
back in this game because of
352
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:35,400
that, but still the money stops.
You know, 7 for 13, including
353
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600
the fourth down.
Stop that wasn't a stop.
354
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,200
So they were over, you know,
over fifty percent.
355
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:50,200
So Even though it was critical.
What are you graded?
356
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:57,200
I mean d.c. - maybe I'm gonna go
see - you know it depends on how
357
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,400
much credit you want to give
them for the fourth down.
358
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,600
That wasn't think that's whether
you go see your D here overall
359
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,800
it wasn't bad and I think some
of it we've benefited from you
360
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,900
that period you know, late
second into the majority of the
361
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:16,400
third quarter where they weren't
able to just sling it deep
362
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,700
because some of the weather
there.
363
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:21,800
So we've The fitted from that
and that I think that kind of
364
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,000
stacks the the great a little
bit there for us.
365
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,200
So it could have been much worse
potentially if they were able to
366
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,200
play their game the whole time
you guys.
367
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,000
But yeah about to keep him
behind the sticks.
368
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,500
Do you think?
I'm going to say this was
369
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,000
jehan's worst game, he called
how many times we were in the
370
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,900
wrong coverage for the potential
because it seemed like, every
371
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:50,200
time we were getting big deep
downfield.
372
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,700
I feel like a couple times.
It was like cover to a couple
373
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,300
times.
It was like a cover one.
374
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:59,900
We're playing straight man.
And you always mentioned you
375
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:02,500
like quarters recovered three
look especially against
376
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:07,500
downfield passing teams because
Delta passing teams having those
377
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:11,500
guys back. 15 20 yards, he has
to anticipate right?
378
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,400
Yep.
Why was hand mixing it?
379
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,700
I know on the Harley play.
The Cub the touchdown we were in
380
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:25,000
cover two.
And I asked you earlier about
381
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,300
this so kind of give your
explanation it should have been
382
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,400
a touchdown, but should we have
really been in cover two?
383
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,300
I mean, we're uncovered to
occasionally.
384
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:38,100
We, we usually mix it with the
cover to man under look, which I
385
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,100
would have been okay with there
because at least you would
386
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:46,400
probably not have Dax matched up
on a parlor here as they
387
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,700
essentially.
So so dax's responsibility is is
388
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:56,500
to carry up the seam as deep as
he can and in this case he did a
389
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:01,200
pretty good job of limiting the
space underneath to throw that
390
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,200
The problem is that there's
supposed to be another safety on
391
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,800
top of it, but Jenkins got
caught looking in the backfield
392
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,000
and was chasing the play.
Instead of being on top of the
393
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,600
the route there and so he was
out of position to be able to
394
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,100
come up there.
That's a play that was probably
395
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,800
going to be a 30-yard Gainer
anyway but it turned into a
396
00:24:23,808 --> 00:24:26,400
touchdown because Jenkins was
out of position.
397
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,600
All right.
Like I said I would have
398
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,100
preferred more of that man under
Look, I would prefer to us to
399
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,400
once we realize they were
slinging it all night.
400
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:41,300
Go into a true nickel and while
essentially have artists out
401
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:47,600
there with with Connor and index
off the field, not know knock
402
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,000
and acts but artist is now our
best run linebacker keep him on
403
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,800
there and then then roll out.
Connor at the backer and then
404
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,800
get your extra corners on the
field there.
405
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,700
That would have been what I
would have done, it would have
406
00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:07,700
helped somewhat.
But again, we were still in
407
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,800
coverages at wrong times, we
were still blowing coverages
408
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:15,900
blowing assignments, it was kind
of a mixed bag of everything
409
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,600
that could possibly go wrong in
the secondary true and it all
410
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,700
happened in one game, it did.
And you talk about blown
411
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,300
coverage is something else.
You made a big point of on
412
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:27,600
Wednesday night.
Was we've got to make them
413
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000
settle for three.
Will they got down there four
414
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,100
times?
We only held them.
415
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:35,900
The three once on two of the
touchdowns it was absolutely
416
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:40,700
blown coverages.
The one to the tight end
417
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:43,400
Mallory.
Somebody completely vacated that
418
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,400
side, am are eroding up.
There was no one there so once
419
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,500
he got by Mari and there's no
one vacating that whoever was
420
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,300
supposed to be back there
vacated The Zone, it was an easy
421
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:56,000
pitch for Van Dyke and then the
other one, I know you talked
422
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,600
about Keshawn artist on the
other touchdown, close to the
423
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,900
goal line, he blew It was a
little play-action fake.
424
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:05,600
He stuck his head in right
outside.
425
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,100
He, it was in his own.
You could tell it was and that's
426
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,900
you say what you want to say.
If I can't go back and say,
427
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:17,900
well, if they had been in there,
right Zone?
428
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,200
Does it result in three?
Not seven, don't know.
429
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:26,400
But it gets hard to say the
Mallory play was interesting
430
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,000
because you had, you had two
guys there and it looked like it
431
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:38,500
was I think whoever had the the
curls own was playing a little
432
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,500
too shallow and then Waller got
in no man's land where he could
433
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,000
decide.
If he was going to stay deep to
434
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600
make sure he didn't let
something Creek behind him or
435
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,200
come up, and get Mallory.
And by the time, he decided to
436
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,100
come and get Mallory was too,
late way too late.
437
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,200
And that was on a, that was on a
field side blitz.
438
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,600
So your best pass rusher in bar.
No, is riding up now.
439
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,800
Hurry up the sidelines in that
case, right?
440
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,300
Yep.
Yeah.
441
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:09,400
And like I said, I'd have to
look at the tape again to see
442
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800
who had that other that other
part of the Zone there.
443
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,900
But yeah, Walter got kind of in,
no man's land and just didn't
444
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:20,400
make the right choice there.
I think if he realized that
445
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,000
there wasn't anyone, coming
across the field behind him.
446
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,800
He would have probably came up
and made a play.
447
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:29,000
Probably could have had a pic if
he, you know, recognize the the
448
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,400
route on time.
But, you know, I think he was
449
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,800
thinking too much on that one.
Very true.
450
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:38,700
All right, Brian.
So overall defense it was just
451
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:43,800
not a good night for those guys
regardless they had their
452
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,400
moments that dead us, get back
into it but essentially they
453
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,900
gave up another couple late that
essentially put the game away
454
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:53,800
from Miami.
Let's let's go to another unit
455
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,300
that had been the best unit.
We've had all year our special
456
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:01,200
teams unit as far as it goes.
For the return coverages.
457
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:04,800
I mean definitely their worst 86
yards on kickoff.
458
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,900
Turn 65 on punt, returns, and
mean that's 150 plus yards.
459
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:15,800
That is a ton of field position
with a defense that's
460
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:21,400
struggling.
And it looked like just to me,
461
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:26,600
not really.
It wasn't like really bad play
462
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,900
that play calls.
You only have so many it.
463
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:31,600
Look, just like terrible
technique and terrible leverage.
464
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:36,900
Every single time.
Yeah, there was one, the big,
465
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:41,200
the one long kickoff.
Looks like guy got out of got of
466
00:28:41,208 --> 00:28:45,100
his Lane, got blocked a little
bit and it just opened up there
467
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:49,200
was a crease there.
We have one that thankfully got
468
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,300
called back.
It was an awful night for the
469
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:58,800
coverage, man.
I just think that for something
470
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,100
that's been a strength, all
year.
471
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,500
It's odd to see that that
breakdown.
472
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,500
And I don't know if it was
leveraged, I don't know if it
473
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:08,200
was you know some of it was
leverage.
474
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Some of it could have been.
All right.
475
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,400
You got the element you're
dealing with that.
476
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,300
But I mean everybody else is
dealing with that too.
477
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:15,400
Yeah.
You can't really use that as an
478
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,500
excuse.
You just got to go out there and
479
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,700
try to do better next time.
Well, after the first punt
480
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:22,400
return.
Turn.
481
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:24,300
Yeah, that was the sealer right
there.
482
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:31,100
Yeah, sorry, it's okay.
Herbert Herbert to Eckler and
483
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,900
steel, bronze fate.
Sorry, bud.
484
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:39,500
But the first punt return.
Like, we have the guy trap and
485
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:44,100
for some reason, They can't
remember the number, but the guy
486
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,600
seems to step left and I'm
sitting like why are you
487
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,200
stepping left?
Right is all of the open field.
488
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:52,200
All you need to do is step
right?
489
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,800
And force them back up inside.
At least he's going towards the
490
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,500
sideline, he stepped left.
He went right around.
491
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:01,300
And next, it was a 40-yard game
and they were already having
492
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,300
success.
So, you know, you gotta
493
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:06,800
understand where your Leverage
is, and where your help is.
494
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,700
And that's an instance of
missing both.
495
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:14,700
Now, I would I would find it
Interesting, you know, to see
496
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,700
how many younger guys.
If this was one of those things
497
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:22,000
where well it's late in the
season we need to start gluing
498
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
some guys, some PT, you know,
essentially they're not that
499
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,300
weird.
They're going to even if we go
500
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:29,900
to a bowl game, they're going to
get their red shirt.
501
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,300
So I wonder if that was part of
it, I might look back on some of
502
00:30:34,308 --> 00:30:37,600
the condensed versions.
See if we can find out who they
503
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:43,100
were on those and see if it was,
maybe lesser Not lesser skilled
504
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,600
guys.
But lesser got guys with lesser
505
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:50,200
PT on the field less
experienced, folks.
506
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Yeah, Special Teams.
You.
507
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,600
Yeah, it could be I tend to
unless it's somebody that I
508
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,700
recognized right off.
I tend to not pay a ton of to of
509
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:02,500
attention to who's making the
plays on special teams as long
510
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:07,000
as they are made, especially on
some of those coverages just
511
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,300
because you don't see quite as
many Star.
512
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:15,100
There's all those units.
Absolutely sorry, brother.
513
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:19,400
Let's flip over to the offense.
Now, we're rolling here about 30
514
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,400
minutes, deep, let's talk about
the rushing offense.
515
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,900
If you had had to go somewhere,
didn't get to see the game.
516
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:31,100
But I texted, you Braun 43,
rushing 227 yards over five.
517
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:34,700
Carry the seems good, right?
That seems about what I was
518
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:38,700
hoping for in the game.
But then if I told you, well,
519
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:42,800
Thomas got seven carries raheen
Got Two Carries The ACC running
520
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,300
back of the week last week.
Got to carries Keshawn King got
521
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:50,900
to carries.
And then I told you blumrich and
522
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:54,000
Bebe.
Got blumrich 30 bb10.
523
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,800
Tell me what would be in your
mind?
524
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,800
And what would you want to do to
certain people?
525
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:08,700
Yeah, this is a big problem.
So let's talk about a few things
526
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,600
because there there's, there's
layers to this, right?
527
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,900
Well, it's a little like it.
It's so, and I'm good with
528
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:17,100
plumber, getting out there.
And the way that we started, the
529
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:20,000
game plumber CAD packages that
he was coming in.
530
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
There was like, you know, the
wild turkey.
531
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,300
There was some other, the other
things that he was doing just
532
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:31,600
straight quarterback sweeps,
quarterback leads, you know,
533
00:32:31,608 --> 00:32:33,600
there's a handful of things that
they were throwing out there
534
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:41,300
just to mix it up and Not use BB
on a ton of these design runs
535
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:46,000
LED BB if he's going to run be a
scramble drill or something like
536
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,500
that.
And BB had a couple big runs.
537
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:55,600
Early 11, pretty big one where
it looked like as fast as I've
538
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,300
seen him run that, that was what
I he's shown speed, but I didn't
539
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,600
really appreciate how fast he
could really be until that play.
540
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
But we just Had we haven't seen
enough of that consistently just
541
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,900
because he's been pretty much
banged up.
542
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,300
I mean, kind of since week one.
Right.
543
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:17,500
He had a little little nicked in
that game.
544
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:22,900
He's been a little Nick's since
then it's been ribs.
545
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:26,800
It's been a little hand.
It's been like, it's been a
546
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,500
little bit of everything right
shoulder.
547
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:36,500
So but then we ended up just 30
carries by our quarterbacks.
548
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:40,900
I just I don't know what to do
with that.
549
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:45,300
I get that there was we got to a
point where BB was nicked again
550
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:47,600
and you got blumrich.
So you know you're going to get
551
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,500
you know, the Notre Dame game
plan script from that point on
552
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,100
you know that we saw a couple
years back.
553
00:33:54,100 --> 00:33:59,200
We QP you're going to get that
type of script but not giving it
554
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,700
to the running back since the
baffling part, it's one thing.
555
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,600
If you're devoting yourself to
the run, it's completely
556
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,200
different.
If you're just using your
557
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,500
quarterbacks as bad, Battering
rams, which is just what we did.
558
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:13,400
Yeah.
And the problem I have with that
559
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,500
is that if you look at some of
the other things is that it
560
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:19,800
created other problems for the
offensive line and there was
561
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,500
some trickle down there.
So let's go ahead and talk about
562
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,400
that.
And I know we have it in a
563
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,199
different order, but I'm going
to leave with this, the Caden
564
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:35,000
more pull sack, some of that is
set up directly because we were
565
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,500
not using our Our running backs.
So, so if you're is, if you're
566
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,000
covering a read option or any
sort of quarterback Rush the
567
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,900
where there's an option for the
quarterback to give primarily
568
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:50,000
you're going to use, either a
squeeze or a pop technique.
569
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,900
You're going to either squeeze
to kind of slow play it.
570
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:55,300
Make the quarterback make a
choice.
571
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,300
And then you want to try to get
them to keep it.
572
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:02,100
So you can come up, make the
play or pop it.
573
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,000
You're going to essentially
attack the mesh Point, either
574
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,800
you're going to make the
quarterback, give it or you're
575
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,100
there to make it make a tackle.
Well, once they saw, we weren't
576
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:12,200
handing the ball to the running
back.
577
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:14,300
It was pop all day.
They were going right at the
578
00:35:14,308 --> 00:35:20,300
mesh point every single time.
Every time there was no waiting.
579
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:22,800
There was no, there was none of
that.
580
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,300
No.
Hesitant I'm going right at the
581
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,700
quarterback and he's either.
Going to give it because it's
582
00:35:27,700 --> 00:35:30,200
smart where I'm going to get me
a big play in the backfield.
583
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,700
And though in the backfield and
here's one where we got it, we
584
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:39,700
got a counteraction counter play
action on a on a pass and
585
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,600
Cadence pulling across the
formation to essentially block.
586
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,400
The guy that would normally be a
read and a read option.
587
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:50,600
But he's already thinking all
right with this is a
588
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,200
read-option.
I'm attacking the mesh point,
589
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,400
he's flying up field.
He's five yards up field before
590
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,400
Caden even gets into the
position there.
591
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,900
So it's not so much.
That that play can't work or
592
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:06,900
that scheme, can't work.
But in this situation, and I'll
593
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:10,600
critique Kayden here, a little
bit, probably a bad, bad step a
594
00:36:10,607 --> 00:36:14,500
little bit slow getting across
there, but it's made worse by
595
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:18,600
the fact that, that, that
defensive end is flying up
596
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,900
filled already.
It was, it was worse than
597
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:24,200
because they already knew
tendency, right?
598
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:27,600
Yeah.
Tendency was, they're not giving
599
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,500
it, he's going to keep it.
So I'm just going to fly off.
600
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:36,300
And if he gives it a oh well
they're down in the game, it was
601
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:41,300
just like it's this whole thing
that again, this offensive
602
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:46,200
coordinator cannot grasp.
In that case, if you start
603
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,500
giving it more up the middle or
even on those the beers we saw,
604
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,800
you will make them have to start
thinking again because Malachi
605
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,700
Thomas or Rahim blacks year or
even key Chongqing, you make the
606
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:06,100
wrong mistake on them and they
get the scene, it's a house call
607
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,600
it's 40 or 50 yards, if they had
no fear of it, they got the ball
608
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,700
seven times, they got the ball.
Basically 12%.
609
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:19,600
No team is going to be scared of
the running backs if you're
610
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,300
giving them 12 percent
especially a guy like Rahim that
611
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:27,100
does better with volume and
Malachi does better with volume
612
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:28,800
as well.
They do you get them more
613
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,900
carries they are more consistent
so you got kind of essentially
614
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:36,100
cold backs at this point right
back to them.
615
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:39,900
Either been blocking most of the
game or having been on the field
616
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:41,700
or been decoys.
Yeah.
617
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:51,300
Like so like Essentially carried
your offense since Notre Dame,
618
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:56,000
right?
Yep, since Notre Dame or decoys
619
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,500
in a game, you need to get Bowl
eligible on the road.
620
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,700
Yeah, somebody doesn't want a
job after this.
621
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,900
Somebody doesn't want a job.
Somebody's looking at Nathan
622
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:09,800
Hale, with, with a big grin
right now.
623
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,500
He's like, all right, I'll be
there next year.
624
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:14,000
Yeah.
Hey, five years here at 500
625
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,500
thousand dollars out.
Is my money, let's the passing
626
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:21,300
offense, you know, it wasn't
help.
627
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:24,500
We did give up for sex.
We had six tackle, they had six
628
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:29,200
tackles for loss ugly, stat line
to me.
629
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,600
Ugly passes 19, 428 148, three,
touchdown passes.
630
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,900
All of them were right at the
goal line, and just some of the
631
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,700
ugliest freaking passes, it was
raining.
632
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:45,500
Yes.
But they were still Ugly.
633
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:47,900
I don't care what anybody says,
I'm with you.
634
00:38:47,900 --> 00:38:50,300
And I mean, so let's start with
one thing.
635
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:53,100
The offensive line didn't have
the greatest night in pass, bro.
636
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:58,300
It wasn't awful, but it was one
of their definitely in the lower
637
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:02,400
50% of their effort this year.
That was compounded a little bit
638
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,200
by a lot of the things that
we're going on behind the line
639
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,100
of scrimmage with the
quarterback situation.
640
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:15,000
And as you said, 19 2848, three
touchdowns a lot of that was
641
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,800
About three plays two of which
were to sorry, one of which was
642
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:30,300
to Trey Turner that get injured
on and really if Trey Turner
643
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:35,000
doesn't make two plays and then
you've got some of the other
644
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,500
younger guys that were going to
talk about a little bit.
645
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,000
Making a couple of plays that
stat line going to be been even
646
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,600
worse.
I sat like them, like these
647
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,000
weren't routine catches.
Ladies and gentlemen, this this
648
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:48,600
This was pulling the rabbit at
your head a little bit.
649
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,600
That's that line.
Legitimately could have been 15
650
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:58,400
for 28, maybe 85 yards.
Maybe somewhere somewhere,
651
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,900
thereabouts, maybe 100, maybe,
150, go back and do the math.
652
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,700
It wouldn't have been over 150.
I know that.
653
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,400
No, but let me ask this Brian.
You were going into UVA next
654
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:18,000
week.
You mentioned that you about
655
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,900
Connor, you mean that ugly
screen pass.
656
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:24,600
Good Lord, he threw that thing
right into the dirt, but as it
657
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,700
is, he is even better chance on
the ball.
658
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,300
So, I'll say this, you talk
about the one in the dirt, but
659
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:33,000
then he talked about when Brax
was in there.
660
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:38,700
He sailed one about 10 yards
above tase head, so I don't know
661
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:43,100
which is worse.
Neither were catchable unless
662
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:45,300
you were in the immediate
vicinity Sanity of the
663
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:51,900
quarterback.
So I'll tell you the one thing
664
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:56,200
that blumrich does is that he
does throw a ball more than 15
665
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,600
yards, downfield, that gives our
receivers a chance to make a
666
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,500
play on it.
He does that better than
667
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,300
Braxton.
What Braxton has is.
668
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:10,000
He has accuracy in the short
game when he's able to have a
669
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,500
clean pocket step into it, make
a good throw.
670
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:17,900
He doesn't have the arm strength
to do anything beyond that.
671
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:20,500
He doesn't throw the out very
good.
672
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:24,100
He's got to drive it.
He doesn't throw a good deep
673
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:29,000
ball, he doesn't really do a
good job of attacking the middle
674
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,300
of the field.
So, you know, maybe blumrich as
675
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:36,600
sad as it is to say gives us the
better chance because he does
676
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,800
put a ball up there down the
field that gives our receivers a
677
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,700
chance to do something with it.
Maybe we stick with him just
678
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:50,700
because he is also the more
durable quarterback.
679
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,400
If we are going to stick with
running our quarterbacks this
680
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,700
much in the UVA game as well, it
can times.
681
00:41:56,700 --> 00:42:01,900
Yeah, it'll be it'll be I'm sure
Monday.
682
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:05,500
Presser something will be asked
about that so it'll be sort of
683
00:42:05,508 --> 00:42:09,700
mind-blowing.
We've got, you know, 76 days
684
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:12,800
roughly give or take you
mentioned it earlier a little
685
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,900
bit of you.
Movement on probably counter
686
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:20,400
bluemix best thrown ball
downfield, Dwayne Lofton.
687
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:23,200
He gave him a chance and Duane
caught it.
688
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:26,100
Yeah.
And I mean that was that's a
689
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:32,000
tough throw and he put it where
only Lofton could get it and
690
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,600
Lofton winning got it.
Yes he did full extension.
691
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:40,800
It was it was probably one of
the two best plays the night and
692
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,300
Trey Turner had the other one on
the The catch it at the goal,
693
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:52,400
line there for the touchdown,
very vintage Odell Beckham jr.
694
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,800
Esque.
But, but we also had Jalen
695
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:02,500
Jones, get a big catch on a dig
across the middle where he took
696
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:07,600
a big pop after the catch.
So you know, those two guys
697
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,700
getting involved in the passing
game is Big I'd like to see more
698
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:14,300
of that.
I'm sad that we Didn't see more
699
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:16,900
earlier in the season,
especially for the fact that,
700
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,600
I'm pretty sure this point,
lofton's shirts, burnt despite
701
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,200
not really getting a whole lot
of actual targets, right?
702
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,900
I want to say he, I want to say
he's played in at least four at
703
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:35,700
this point.
Give me a second here, while I'm
704
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:39,600
looking that up, Brian, let me
ask this, give me the overall
705
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,700
assessment of the offensive
coordinator.
706
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:44,400
Tell me.
Tell me right now.
707
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:51,200
Like you know, he's coaching for
his future and I know where
708
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,100
We've joked about it but let's
be serious right now.
709
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:59,800
I mean, is he going D to best at
best at best at best?
710
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,500
I can't see him getting a
coordinator job.
711
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:07,400
Like he's not going to get any
decent FCS coordinator job.
712
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,700
At all.
I mean he's just like his only
713
00:44:14,700 --> 00:44:20,200
hope is for one day gets a G5
job in hires and I mean the
714
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,800
thing is that the the Secret's
out on him at this point.
715
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,800
This isn't this isn't a guy
that's having a bad run or a guy
716
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,600
that doesn't have the talent
rate.
717
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,900
This is a guy that has shown who
he is what he is.
718
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:36,400
We've got guys on the record
saying what he does.
719
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:42,600
Yeah, you know the only thing
that he As well at this point,
720
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:49,800
is misdirection with motion.
That's it.
721
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:53,400
You get to you.
Get to the linebackers eyes
722
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,400
moving in the wrong direction on
occasion.
723
00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:59,600
Okay.
Good for you dictate where the
724
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,100
balls going to go eventually.
You don't think they can.
725
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:05,300
You don't think these guys who
are coached and watch a ton of
726
00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:09,100
tape, say the coaches on the
sidelines, when you see this
727
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:11,600
play happen, just go just go
with this guy.
728
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,300
Why?
Because homeboy over there is
729
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:14,500
going to tell them to give it to
this guy.
730
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:17,400
There's not going to be every or
or tell him not to, you know, a
731
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,500
lot of times it's either.
Sometimes the the window
732
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:22,700
dressing gives away the play and
then sometimes the window
733
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:24,700
dressing, you just need to
ignore.
734
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:27,900
And once you figured out what
window dressing to pay attention
735
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:32,700
to and which ones to ignore the,
the Secret's out, very true
736
00:45:32,700 --> 00:45:34,500
Braun.
Alright Braun.
737
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:38,700
You know, before we get into
looking at some coaching
738
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:42,500
candidates for the Virginia Tech
job guys, we like we told you
739
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:44,500

748
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:21,300
Now back to the episode Alright
guys, so we have made a list of
749
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:29,300
close to 15 guys and we made a
list of no chance and he'll and
750
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,900
we made a list of one guy we
want, but would probably get.
751
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:35,300
So we're going to start with the
Ford our courses.
752
00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:37,800
There's been some rumors of
these guys.
753
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,700
We just in hindsight we can't
see any of these guys actually
754
00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:45,300
accepting this job or us
offering the job.
755
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Job and those are these four as
follows.
756
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:51,300
Byron Leftwich Tampa Bay
Buccaneers offensive coordinator
757
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,900
Bill O'Brien, the OC at Alabama
for an NFL head.
758
00:46:54,900 --> 00:46:59,500
Coach Hugh freeze at Liberty and
Brent pry, who's the defensive
759
00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:05,200
coordinator up at Penn State?
I'd say two of these.
760
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,100
We probably will, at least
contact how far we get the
761
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:11,600
process.
I don't know, I'd say Bill
762
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:18,900
O'Brien and Brent pry, or more
of A four or more likely to get
763
00:47:18,900 --> 00:47:22,400
into the process here?
I don't know, I don't know what
764
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,100
you what your opinion is on
that.
765
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:26,700
But that would be the two that I
would say, have a better chance
766
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:29,900
in the Dark Horse category here.
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on
767
00:47:29,900 --> 00:47:30,400
that.
I don't know.
768
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,800
A lot of people, I got text
about Buddy last night.
769
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,000
Like Hugh freeze like we're not
hiring Hugh, freeze Hugh.
770
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:43,300
Freeze has a stain on him that I
don't think our Administration
771
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:48,600
ill will go for Or I just don't
think, I think it would be a
772
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,700
good hire.
I don't think that Virginia Tech
773
00:47:51,700 --> 00:47:54,600
goes that route.
If, for whatever reason, whether
774
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,800
it's, Which choice, whether
it's, you know, guys on the
775
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,500
board of visitors that aren't
willing to sign that check or
776
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:06,500
sign off on that, there's going
to be pressure from for multiple
777
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:09,400
levels to probably not give you
freeze the look.
778
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:14,300
He probably deserves and that's
just you called that a fit
779
00:48:14,300 --> 00:48:15,600
Choice.
Whatever it Is.
780
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:21,800
I mean, some of it is, is being
able to fit into that that type
781
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,900
of parameters.
So if you got a guy that's
782
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:29,300
that's budding against your
board of visitors, every couple
783
00:48:29,300 --> 00:48:31,200
months that's probably not a
good thing.
784
00:48:32,900 --> 00:48:35,300
So that's probably why it's not
going to happen.
785
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:41,900
Like I said, I think he if it
was my choice and I mean, being
786
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:47,600
he'd be in my top five.
So, But now I'm going to say
787
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,500
this though, with LSU already
being open and now Florida
788
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:52,700
coming, open put Dan Mullen as a
dark horse to.
789
00:48:52,700 --> 00:48:59,100
It's just later in the process,
but I think now he has his
790
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:01,800
sights on two programs.
And I'm not saying they don't
791
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:08,900
care about what happened before
but it's less like you listen we
792
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:11,900
don't really care.
We just want to win 85 to 90% of
793
00:49:11,908 --> 00:49:13,900
the time and compete for
championships.
794
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,900
So there Our I just mentioned
five Dark Horses.
795
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,600
They're there on our minds we
just can't see them going any
796
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,000
further.
But let's start with the first
797
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,000
name here.
Brian.
798
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:27,100
I'm going to do the program.
Will do the cons have little
799
00:49:27,100 --> 00:49:30,400
back and forth.
Mike Elko Texas, A&M defensive
800
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,900
coordinator couple of his prose
y'all.
801
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,100
He had been with Dave place.
And previously had two very
802
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:40,500
successful students with Clausen
before he went up to Notre Dame
803
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,600
and Texas A&M much bigger time
programs.
804
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:47,000
He does have Obviously some ties
to the state of Virginia
805
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:52,600
recruiting being at Richmond
with Clawson and then being at
806
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,200
Wake Forest his defense is
always been good.
807
00:49:56,700 --> 00:50:00,600
Like he's never had like the
worst defense in the country.
808
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,900
Obviously, it's gotten better
looks as he has gotten more
809
00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:07,600
Talent, especially Notre Dame
for a few years.
810
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:12,200
And again, being at Wake Forest,
they had some solid defense has
811
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,200
obviously has a little bit of
Player Development to go along
812
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:22,600
with his good recruiting Yeah,
and for the cons, the big thing
813
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,600
we're looking at is really no
head coach experience, that's
814
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:26,900
out.
The gate is going to be the big
815
00:50:26,900 --> 00:50:31,900
one, and that might be the one
thing that keeps him off with
816
00:50:31,900 --> 00:50:35,000
its radar.
I know he said that he's not
817
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,200
shying away from guys that have
only been coordinators, but he
818
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:46,100
also is, you know, he said the
power 5 job in the ACC being
819
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:48,700
your first head coaching gig is
going to be a tough jump.
820
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:53,900
So I think he's only going to
look at a coordinator.
821
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:58,300
If it's absolutely 100%, the guy
he wants or the guy that he
822
00:50:58,300 --> 00:50:59,900
thinks is going to be the best
fit.
823
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,700
So that's kind of where we are
with with the cons and you know,
824
00:51:04,700 --> 00:51:07,900
we got another one here.
Most recruiting success has been
825
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:10,600
in Texas and that's really the
big thing.
826
00:51:10,900 --> 00:51:14,200
When you look at his recruiting
numbers and the guys that he's
827
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,900
pulled, most of those big
recruits have been in Texas.
828
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:21,100
We know how that's Or he goes in
terms of how that relates to
829
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:24,300
Blacksburg, you know, you can
pull one or two.
830
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,200
It's not something where you can
build a pipeline and he really,
831
00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:33,300
you know, in terms of being on
the the head coaching radar, he
832
00:51:33,300 --> 00:51:37,000
really hasn't been on that that
radar until some of the success
833
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,800
recently at a.m. and then you
previously at Notre Dame's.
834
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:46,200
So Elko is really kind of a new
face in terms of being on the
835
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,700
head coaching radar.
I don't know if that's
836
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:50,900
necessarily something that would
shot folks away from it, but it
837
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:54,400
is something to look at there.
Yeah, yeah.
838
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,000
When you balance is pros and
cons, would it be?
839
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,100
Would we be throwing things and
on the drive to Miriam and to
840
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:02,500
pick it?
No, we will.
841
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:05,500
And I think you'd be an okay
higher but I but I definitely
842
00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:10,800
think we can do better.
I do think Elko is on the verge
843
00:52:11,300 --> 00:52:16,400
of probably the next Two years.
He's going to get a head
844
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,700
coaching job.
I do not think he will get a big
845
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:21,900
P5 job.
I think he will have to land
846
00:52:21,900 --> 00:52:27,400
somewhere like a Wake Forest
like a Syracuse and build his
847
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,300
ilk from there.
Yeah.
848
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,400
If he's going to go power 5,
probably the bottom end, you
849
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,600
know, maybe maybe even Duke if
that comes open.
850
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,800
No, not that.
I wouldn't want it either.
851
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,100
I'm just saying he might take it
anyway.
852
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:45,300
Yeah, I'm kind of with you
there.
853
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:49,300
I think the big thing with Elko
is that, you know, we don't know
854
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:52,000
a whole lot in terms of what
that what he would look like as
855
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,600
a head coach.
And I think that's something
856
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,200
that unless he's got, he checks
a whole lot of other boxes that
857
00:52:58,200 --> 00:52:59,600
might be the thing that holds
him back.
858
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,700
Absolutely.
So let's go ahead and move on
859
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,900
to.
We'll talk next about Josh
860
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:10,600
Gaddis.
Some of the pros for Josh Gad is
861
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:15,200
he was born in played in the
region so that that's, that's a
862
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,800
big thing for him.
He's had some big stops in his
863
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,700
career, big stops throughout his
career.
864
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:24,900
He was an NFL draft pick and
player.
865
00:53:25,900 --> 00:53:29,100
So having that NFL experience,
definitely adds to the pedigree
866
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:35,600
there has some experience in
Mid-Atlantic recruiting And he
867
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,600
was the recruiting coordinator
at Penn State.
868
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,600
So I think that's really when
you look at the overall body of
869
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:46,100
work there, some pretty good
things to talk about, what are
870
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:47,700
some of the cons on Gaddis
there?
871
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,300
Curtis it goddess.
Michigan OC.
872
00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:52,800
You know, first of all it's the
one, the next shower.
873
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,400
And a kind of cart seeing a
trend here.
874
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,000
He has no head coaching
experience at any level.
875
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:02,500
Here's my biggest con what we
mean by we're talking about us.
876
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:07,500
When Mike's locksley got his But
Maryland, he and Gaddis were
877
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:11,400
Colo seeds.
When locksley got the job, he
878
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,600
was not internally promoted
immediately to hit offensive
879
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:22,100
coordinator and essentially when
that happened, you know, he
880
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:25,700
left, he went up to Michigan and
since he's been at Michigan,
881
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:33,400
it's taken a little bit of time
to, you know, kind of kind of
882
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,100
show exactly what he's all
about.
883
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:38,700
You know, he's been at Michigan
now.
884
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,500
This This his third season they
were is okay.
885
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:45,700
In 2019, they didn't look great.
Last year, they're finally
886
00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:48,700
hidden strides this year,
biggest test this weekend,
887
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:52,900
against Ohio State, and this is
one.
888
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:56,300
I always talk about.
He's only ever coached Elite
889
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:57,700
Talent as a.
No.
890
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:00,900
See.
And when you start coaching
891
00:55:00,900 --> 00:55:06,400
guys, at that level, Is it, is
it some of what you say and do
892
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,800
helps you?
But when you have the best
893
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,500
players for near the top of the
best players at every single
894
00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:17,400
position as an offensive
coordinator, Some things it's
895
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,600
just like, you know, I hate to
say there's something like well,
896
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,300
let's just run a power over,
right?
897
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,600
37-yard touchdown.
Yay, great call.
898
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:37,400
Now that's deployers so, you
know, if he's hired you feel
899
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:42,400
like, you know, probably haven't
seen any interviews with Josh
900
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,600
cow so you probably feel he
probably got a good personality.
901
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:53,800
Leti where he recruits, but I
think he's one of those jobs if
902
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,300
he continues to do good in
Michigan.
903
00:55:55,300 --> 00:55:59,200
If they, if they beat Ohio State
next week and they go to the
904
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,700
playoffs, I think he will get a
solid head coaching job
905
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:07,000
somewhere.
Yeah, I agree.
906
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:15,500
I think. with Gatos, he's
probably one of the more under
907
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:19,500
the radar coordinators that's
made our list here.
908
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:23,300
I would say, I think he is
getting a lot of good.
909
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:25,900
Looks some of that is, you know,
because he was born and played
910
00:56:25,900 --> 00:56:28,700
in the region.
And I think some of that is just
911
00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:31,800
his overall pedigree and then
the couple big stops with Penn
912
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,400
State and out at Michigan that
he's had, you know, Bama in
913
00:56:35,408 --> 00:56:39,000
there as well.
So you will see if he ends up
914
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,400
staying on the radar as we kind
of Move Along here.
915
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,600
True.
So who's up next buddy up?
916
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,700
Next Marcus Freeman.
Defensive coordinator had a
917
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:56,200
Notre Dame, you know, his prose
wherever he's been at.
918
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,000
He's shown the ability to
recruit.
919
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,400
Good players.
And it's it's something that
920
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,300
sticks because he was at Purdue.
He was at Cincinnati.
921
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:12,100
If you've ever seen him speak
and I got to watch a video, his
922
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:15,600
personality, it will blow you
away here in the sky.
923
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,800
Talk about his philosophy about
players.
924
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:24,600
You go to YouTube, just find a
market screaming interview and
925
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:29,100
that will partially sell you on
why he's above, you know, a few
926
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:32,300
other guys who had a little bit
more timely programs.
927
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:37,200
Yeah, he wins player at Ohio
State.
928
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:39,800
What he's done, it's in C and
Notre Dame.
929
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:44,900
Last few years that's that's
something its culture, right?
930
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:49,500
Winning culture is a thing.
They haven't given up a
931
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:52,500
touchdown in the last three
weeks ever know they haven't,
932
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:55,900
they haven't even touchdown.
Now, the other thing I like
933
00:57:55,900 --> 00:58:01,600
about him and again it goes back
to this being where he is now at
934
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,600
Notre Dame with the Elite Talent
like guy like Kyle Hamilton, but
935
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,000
he was at Cincinnati where he
had to develop guys.
936
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:13,100
So he's showing you that
combination that to me is, why
937
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:16,300
hit some had coaches?
Do so well, which will about
938
00:58:16,300 --> 00:58:18,200
Nick Saban.
He has a ton of four and five.
939
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,600
Star guys, but you also see
three star guys coming there and
940
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,500
make impacts right.
He knows how to fix the elite,
941
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,000
he knows how to coach
Developmental and to me to be a
942
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,700
top, 15 top 20 program, that's a
balance, you have to have
943
00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:34,600
someone.
We just mentioned, I don't think
944
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,900
Dan Mullen knows how to do that
down in Florida.
945
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,200
That's why you got fired.
I think Dan knows how to coach
946
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:45,200
developmental Talent.
He hasn't found a strive for the
947
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,700
Elite Talent guys.
I think he I think he can
948
00:58:47,700 --> 00:58:51,600
consistently recruit top 30
classes, but he has to do more
949
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:56,200
of the on the development side.
He's not a guy that can take,
950
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,600
he's not a guy that can get
Florida, the classes.
951
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,000
They should be able to get but
he also doesn't know how to
952
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,200
handle those guys once they get
in the door either.
953
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:05,800
Absolutely.
All right, Brian.
954
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:10,300
Let's look as much as we just.
I just drooled all over Freeman.
955
00:59:11,100 --> 00:59:14,300
There are some cons there.
Yeah, I mean the big one.
956
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:16,200
This is still consistent is
going to be consistent with
957
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,100
every coordinator that hasn't
had a head coach experiences
958
00:59:19,100 --> 00:59:22,100
that no head coach experience at
this point.
959
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,700
So any any We're taking on
Freeman.
960
00:59:24,700 --> 00:59:26,700
Will have that risk associated
with it.
961
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:28,300
That's just going to be
something.
962
00:59:28,300 --> 00:59:32,000
We're going to have to
potentially deal with and the
963
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,800
second one being he's only been
at one place where he's had big
964
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,600
expectations and that's where
he's at now and he's only been
965
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,600
there, you know, 90% of one
season.
966
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:50,000
So That's, that's interesting
angle there.
967
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,900
Just because you know, while
since he had expectations for a
968
00:59:55,900 --> 01:00:00,100
G5 school, you know this wasn't
make the playoffs type
969
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:02,500
expectations.
He's at he's at a place now
970
01:00:02,500 --> 01:00:06,400
where the expectations to make
the playoff and he's showing out
971
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,100
thus far.
But this is really, you know, a
972
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:14,500
very small sample size at this
point and the last one being
973
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:16,600
he's only really ever coached in
the Upper Midwest.
974
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:23,400
We talked about Purdue Cincy.
Notre Dame obviously has OSU
975
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:28,000
ties there so in state.
Yeah, Indiana that's it.
976
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,400
So high.
Oh, state is the closest he's
977
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:40,500
ever been to the Mid-Atlantic
and again, that's another cell.
978
01:00:40,500 --> 01:00:44,100
But again I think my positive
listen to him talk.
979
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:48,900
I think that guy could walk into
any The Mid-Atlantic household
980
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,100
and silica ball program.
Yeah, and we've seen and we've
981
01:00:52,100 --> 01:00:55,300
seen it done.
I mean, he's got some once he
982
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:57,500
started it.
A lot of was sensing a lot
983
01:00:57,500 --> 01:01:00,600
especially now with Notre Dame.
He's recruiting players from all
984
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,800
over the country and he's having
success wherever he's
985
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,300
recruiting.
So I don't think the recruiting
986
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:10,800
part of it is necessarily a
problem and I don't necessarily
987
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:15,900
think that will have a problem
in terms of the fit in terms of
988
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,800
His personality.
Whereas in Puente some of you
989
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:29,100
know Oklahoma Texas type
demeanor, rub some wrong way.
990
01:01:29,500 --> 01:01:31,700
I don't think you'll have that
with Freeman even though he's
991
01:01:31,700 --> 01:01:34,200
not necessarily a regional guy.
Yeah.
992
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:38,200
So those are the cons for
Freeman.
993
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,100
I feel really good about Freeman
Freeman, is probably the highest
994
01:01:41,100 --> 01:01:44,000
I am on any coordinator on our
list.
995
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:47,000
Yeah.
I'm with you.
996
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:49,600
I'm with you on that who we got
next O'Brien?
997
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,200
All right, next up.
We got Tony, Elliott, offensive
998
01:01:54,200 --> 01:02:00,100
coordinator at Clemson.
This is a name that was very
999
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,900
high on the buzz list last year
when we thought Fuente might be
1000
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:08,700
out following the covid year,
the big thing out the gate.
1001
01:02:08,700 --> 01:02:11,900
This guy can recruit his ass
off.
1002
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:15,300
You look at some of the
recruits.
1003
01:02:15,500 --> 01:02:18,900
He's pulled in.
It's a who's who of the big-name
1004
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:20,800
Clemson guys that have walked
through the door?
1005
01:02:22,700 --> 01:02:25,600
And he has lower Mid-Atlantic
recruiting experience.
1006
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,500
So he's recruited up into
Virginia.
1007
01:02:27,500 --> 01:02:31,000
He's recruited a lot and the
Carolinas or crew delight and
1008
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:37,600
Georgia some in Florida and
really completely torn it up and
1009
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:41,500
his offenses have set records.
I mean we look at 2021 is really
1010
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:44,500
the big outlier.
Some of that has to do with some
1011
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:48,100
of the limitations He's had with
his quarterback play overall,
1012
01:02:48,700 --> 01:02:50,700
he's more of a running backs
ISO.
1013
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:53,800
You know, I'm not sure if we'll
see.
1014
01:02:55,100 --> 01:02:58,300
See, that type of thing carry
over there, but his offenses
1015
01:02:58,300 --> 01:03:01,700
have done well, with really good
talent.
1016
01:03:01,700 --> 01:03:05,500
And with, you know, just above
average Talent you, he doesn't
1017
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:08,900
need a five-star.
Number one or two quarterback in
1018
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:13,600
the class to get it done.
And his position group is always
1019
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,000
performed.
Like I said, with the running
1020
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,000
backs there, they've always had
pretty good.
1021
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,100
Numbers Shipley's do is probably
the bright spot of that offense
1022
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:24,300
this year.
Overall, obviously Travis at TN,
1023
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:30,100
completely tore it up when he
was here, and when you listen to
1024
01:03:30,107 --> 01:03:33,400
this guy, talk much like
Freeman, very infectious
1025
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,300
personality type of guy, you
want to play for type of guy,
1026
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:39,700
you want to hear speak about
that your program?
1027
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:42,800
So Curtis we talked about the
pros.
1028
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,300
What are some of the cons here
man?
1029
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:49,300
One of the cons is again no head
coaching experience and it's
1030
01:03:49,300 --> 01:03:52,600
very limited recruiting in the
DMV are very limited.
1031
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,300
He this isn't like his primary
or his primary areas down in
1032
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,000
Georgia and Florida.
So he has submitted Land
1033
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,400
Experience.
But he's not, it's not a ton of
1034
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,200
where we, where we feel like we
need to see it.
1035
01:04:07,300 --> 01:04:09,500
He's only ever coached and state
of South Carolina.
1036
01:04:10,900 --> 01:04:18,700
Clemson and firm, that's it.
So that's that's one of those.
1037
01:04:18,700 --> 01:04:20,000
I'm not going to say it's a red
flag.
1038
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,100
At least it's only two states
away, you know, and it's in your
1039
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:27,800
footprint.
So probably gets a feel a little
1040
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:32,700
bit about the type of recruiting
Virginia Tech can do and here's
1041
01:04:32,700 --> 01:04:35,800
my biggie.
You talked about having either
1042
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,900
Elite or above-average Talent.
So, basically Brian saying five
1043
01:04:39,900 --> 01:04:44,200
or four, H thumb 3.
How does he?
1044
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,600
How does he coach not only
Talent?
1045
01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:50,900
And it's, and I know of
Clemson's a little different.
1046
01:04:50,900 --> 01:04:55,800
They do have some, I guess you
could say scheme fit guys, and
1047
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,600
some more locker room guys than
a place like, Alabama, Ohio
1048
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:06,200
State, but it's still a bunch of
talent.
1049
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,800
It's still a top 10 talented
team.
1050
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:12,400
And when you start taking guys
away from that, and putting them
1051
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,500
in that where we are right now,
we're sitting 40.
1052
01:05:15,900 --> 01:05:20,600
Usually we set somewhere,
Between about 22 and 30, right?
1053
01:05:20,700 --> 01:05:23,400
How are you going to get 25 to
play like 10?
1054
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:28,700
It's tough because when I say,
call power 0 and they go 37
1055
01:05:28,700 --> 01:05:32,100
yards for a touchdown, can't do
that anymore because it's not
1056
01:05:32,100 --> 01:05:35,000
all there.
I like Tony.
1057
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,600
I think Tony has taken a hit
this year with the way the
1058
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,900
offense is looked.
And then I do some of that's
1059
01:05:42,900 --> 01:05:45,900
fair and some of that's not but
I mean, it kind of is what it
1060
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:47,100
is.
You take it.
1061
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,000
Hit even, you know, whether it's
dessert or not, you're the face
1062
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,400
of the offense so it kind of
comes with the territory, right?
1063
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:56,300
It's true.
You're the face and especially
1064
01:05:56,300 --> 01:05:59,700
when the guy that, you know, he
was calling with went to South
1065
01:05:59,700 --> 01:06:03,100
Florida and now he's not doing
girl.
1066
01:06:04,300 --> 01:06:08,400
Great at all.
But it's one of those things.
1067
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,100
I don't think Tony line Lanes
anywhere this year.
1068
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,500
I think he's cooled off, but I
think what will be interesting
1069
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:19,300
to see what happens is with him
and Dabo Brannan, Street is a
1070
01:06:19,308 --> 01:06:21,000
quarterback coach, right?
Yep.
1071
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:26,900
If that's the issue does Dabo
pull the trigger because Dabo
1072
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:30,400
has done that a few times.
He's like, guys, go a couple.
1073
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,600
Guys have had good success in
left.
1074
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,600
We're going.
Talk about another guy pretty
1075
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,900
pretty soon here that he did
that with.
1076
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:39,500
Yes, we are.
All right, but Brian, who's our
1077
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:44,300
next candidate up?
All right, so next up, we've got
1078
01:06:44,300 --> 01:06:49,700
Dan landing, d.c. at Georgia.
All right, so Dan Landing guys.
1079
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:53,000
His prose experience with
winning programs.
1080
01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:57,600
Always a big thing has a winning
culture already instilled in him
1081
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,400
and you know, when we sit here
and talk about well besides
1082
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,900
Georgia, you know, where else
has he been?
1083
01:07:05,900 --> 01:07:09,600
Well he was with Mike Norvell in
Memphis because of potential
1084
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,000
Memphis connection, that was 16
and 17.
1085
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:17,000
When again over L came in there,
kept the one day going he was
1086
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:23,900
also at Sam Houston State, a
pretty good FCS power so you
1087
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:26,600
know it's like we win we win we
win.
1088
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:33,600
Yep.
Georgia since 2018 and his unit
1089
01:07:33,700 --> 01:07:38,100
you know whether it be the
outside line backing unit always
1090
01:07:38,100 --> 01:07:41,300
good at Georgia or now the whole
defense in general.
1091
01:07:42,700 --> 01:07:46,200
They're an elite level.
And I know they've got five star
1092
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:52,400
studs, all over the place.
Other teams due to the what he's
1093
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:56,000
getting out of them.
This year says a lot about him
1094
01:07:57,900 --> 01:08:02,700
because they're dominating.
Yeah to unprecedented levels in
1095
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:05,700
this era.
Now, one more good thing about
1096
01:08:05,700 --> 01:08:11,600
him Landing does has a purty
good Mid-Atlantic footprint for
1097
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:16,800
his recruiting.
So it's not like that culture
1098
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,200
shock of coming from the Midwest
or the Upper Midwest.
1099
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,300
He's down at the Mid-Atlantic,
similar to Tony, even though
1100
01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:28,000
there's not a lot of DMV in
there I still think that I think
1101
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:33,800
you would understand the
cultures that are than guys
1102
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,899
coming out from the west or even
the Midwest.
1103
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:41,600
All right Ron, what's the cons?
So Collins I mean we've already
1104
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,800
said it for a lot of these guys
with the big one is going to be
1105
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,800
the new head coach experience.
We really don't know how he's
1106
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,600
going to handle a head coaching
experience.
1107
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,899
Would he be a CEO type of guy
that can work with the donors?
1108
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:57,300
All the stuff, the things that a
coordinator don't have to deal
1109
01:08:57,300 --> 01:08:59,600
with, you know?
Will he be able to handle those
1110
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,000
types of roles and the other?
The other big one here is that
1111
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,500
he's really only been on the
coaching radar since he's been a
1112
01:09:08,500 --> 01:09:10,399
coach.
Be coaching elite players at
1113
01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:14,200
Georgia.
He wasn't a guy that was looking
1114
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:15,800
to make a big step up before
that.
1115
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,500
Now he's at Georgia.
He's coaching elite players and
1116
01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:21,300
now all of a sudden he's getting
some head coaching bugs so that
1117
01:09:21,300 --> 01:09:25,399
may be a little bit of a red
flag but overall Landing has a
1118
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:29,700
good good overall resume.
I don't like him quite as much
1119
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:33,700
as Freeman in terms of just the
other upside that he brings to
1120
01:09:33,700 --> 01:09:37,200
the table.
But I do think that he would be
1121
01:09:37,700 --> 01:09:40,399
a pretty okay, fit.
That ended up being the route,
1122
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:43,100
be went with.
Yeah, I think you'd be an okay
1123
01:09:43,100 --> 01:09:45,800
fit kind of get us back to, you
know.
1124
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,000
The the Beamer Bud type
mentality especially on the
1125
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,300
defensive side of the ball but I
think he's a year away.
1126
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:58,700
Yeah, mean if you pull the
trigger on him now maybe the
1127
01:09:58,700 --> 01:10:02,100
biggest upside is you probably
can get them a little bit on the
1128
01:10:02,100 --> 01:10:05,100
cheap.
But I think there's enough read
1129
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:07,500
their where you say he needs one
more year.
1130
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:11,600
He needs a lot of these guys on
this defense to go away which is
1131
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,400
going to happen this year with
Georgia.
1132
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,600
How does he do it next year?
Because I think if they dominate
1133
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,000
like they did this year, they
lose people, their top 15
1134
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,500
defense next year, then he's
going somewhere, interesting to
1135
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:26,400
see where.
All right, Brian.
1136
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:31,600
We're going to stop right here
because everyone else on this
1137
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:37,900
list is a head coach somewhere.
Somewhere, but we wanted to
1138
01:10:37,900 --> 01:10:44,100
bring up some names.
Just so people can get this out
1139
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:46,800
of this is the boundary Corner
podcast saying this.
1140
01:10:47,900 --> 01:10:51,200
There's some people, these
people, this is not, these are
1141
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,300
absolutely not happening.
Let's start number one.
1142
01:10:54,300 --> 01:10:57,400
Prime, shame, Beamer Shane,
Beamer Shane.
1143
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:58,800
Beamer could have happened last
year.
1144
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,500
It will not be happening this
year.
1145
01:11:00,500 --> 01:11:03,300
Go ahead and write it off.
And there's, and there's several
1146
01:11:03,300 --> 01:11:04,800
reasons that Shane's not
happening.
1147
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,800
Right?
Well, yeah, I mean, aside from
1148
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,300
every, every reason that was
brought up last year, we paying
1149
01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:15,200
at the dam by out to get Shane
out of that contract in South
1150
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,800
Carolina, 17 and a half.
That alone is why it's not
1151
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,600
happening.
So number 2, Ed order on all of
1152
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,500
that is not happening.
No, it's not happening.
1153
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:32,400
Tokyo's 61 years old.
I love the guy's personality,
1154
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,900
but I do not want him as my head
coach, after what I've been
1155
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:38,100
hearing about going on and LSU
about his age.
1156
01:11:38,900 --> 01:11:44,400
I think he's a damn fine coach
overall, but I don't think that
1157
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,700
what he brings to the table.
Is a good fit for Blacksburg
1158
01:11:49,700 --> 01:11:53,900
right now, right now.
Now now, well, I think Ocho is
1159
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:56,600
going to land somewhere head
coaching.
1160
01:11:56,700 --> 01:11:59,200
Probably not.
But I think he's going to go out
1161
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,200
there and do the kids because
kocho recruiting pitches and
1162
01:12:03,300 --> 01:12:04,900
he's going to help some team
out.
1163
01:12:04,900 --> 01:12:10,400
If I'm Hill, whoever the USC
candidate is, I'm immediately
1164
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,100
picking up cut.
You want to be the asuc and my
1165
01:12:13,100 --> 01:12:16,400
recruiting coordinator.
Absolutely, absolutely.
1166
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:20,900
Number three.
Yeah, we love them and he is an
1167
01:12:20,900 --> 01:12:23,900
icon but he's not coming back
y'all, but Foster is not coming
1168
01:12:23,900 --> 01:12:28,100
out of retirement, Bud.
Foster loves the lake and
1169
01:12:28,100 --> 01:12:30,700
doesn't want to blow up his
heart.
1170
01:12:30,700 --> 01:12:38,200
So let Bud enjoy the lake, the
enjoy, the boat enjoy, coming to
1171
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,200
games, where he doesn't get
quite as worked up as he does on
1172
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:45,600
the sidelines and let him enjoy
it.
1173
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,400
It's not happening.
I mean it could have happened
1174
01:12:49,500 --> 01:12:54,200
six years ago and I have been
110 percent fine with it it
1175
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,800
should have happened 10 years
ago.
1176
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,700
Yes you could have happened 10
years ago, I'm with that and
1177
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:02,900
even if it didn't it should
happen.
1178
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:05,300
Six years ago, I would have been
perfectly fine with that higher.
1179
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:10,100
So unfortunately we're at a
point where that, that that has
1180
01:13:10,100 --> 01:13:14,500
passed and the last one guy's is
Gary Patterson, because that
1181
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:19,000
would not work at all.
Anyone Thinking it would is
1182
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
outside their damn mind.
They're outside their mind.
1183
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,800
It's again age.
Kocho and gay, Patterson, same
1184
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:31,400
age, 60, plus years old.
You can't fire a head coach and
1185
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:35,600
then hire his mentor.
He can't can't do that.
1186
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:38,400
Maybe that's why.
I didn't get the job because
1187
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,800
essentially it's kind of what
happened but now the Gary
1188
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,300
Patterson things just not
happening, you see it out there
1189
01:13:44,300 --> 01:13:50,700
you kind of chuckle but bra.
On there is one guy that we did
1190
01:13:50,700 --> 01:13:56,800
not put on this list and we
would absolutely love to have
1191
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,700
this guy.
Love it.
1192
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,200
Yep.
Oz not that big track records.
1193
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,200
Great.
But it's just not happening,
1194
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,300
it's not happening, and it's
Luke fickle.
1195
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:13,000
And the reason it's likely not
happening is because of the move
1196
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,800
of Cincy into the Big 12.
And I think that move is
1197
01:14:18,300 --> 01:14:22,800
essentially a green light for
fickle to take as much time
1198
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:27,500
waiting on a blue blood program
to come calling as it takes
1199
01:14:27,900 --> 01:14:32,400
through whether that's this year
or whether that's two to three
1200
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,300
years from now.
Now, after he's LED since e, 22
1201
01:14:35,300 --> 01:14:38,900
straight college football
playoffs, but exactly, and
1202
01:14:38,900 --> 01:14:43,000
whatever whatever it is.
Yeah, I think fickle because of
1203
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,200
that move because of the new
money that's going to be coming
1204
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:48,900
into that school because of that
move because of their being
1205
01:14:48,900 --> 01:14:51,200
bump, he's going to get because
of that move.
1206
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,800
He doesn't need to go anywhere.
Yep, he gets, he's gets to wait
1207
01:14:55,800 --> 01:15:00,700
till he is ready.
The fit is right 100% for him.
1208
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:04,800
And, you know, probably the
Price is Right as well, if they,
1209
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,000
if the Big 12 can stay kind of
the relevancy where it is right
1210
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,200
now and he starts running shop
there every year.
1211
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:15,500
Why is he ever going to leave?
I can make the playoffs every
1212
01:15:15,500 --> 01:15:17,700
year, so why am I going to leave
this?
1213
01:15:17,700 --> 01:15:21,900
So, but that's that list.
Now, let's start with the list
1214
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:25,000
of current sitting head,
coaches, we feel potentially
1215
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,700
have a shot and we're going to
start with wheel.
1216
01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:32,200
Heat, will he lie down at UNC
Charlotte?
1217
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,300
He's younger than us.
I don't know if that's a be over
1218
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,900
on you know, say what you will
but let's start this.
1219
01:15:39,900 --> 01:15:43,200
Everything says, is that he can
sell the hell out of a program.
1220
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,500
Everything you read, you hear
people talk about them, the guy
1221
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:50,000
knows how to sell a program.
He's obviously, UNCC.
1222
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:54,600
So he is clearly in Virginia
Tech's recruiting footprint, so
1223
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,500
he probably has begin building
relationships inside the state
1224
01:15:57,500 --> 01:16:01,200
of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia.
1225
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:05,000
I know South Carolina for a
fact, had a family member go to
1226
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,500
one of his camps a couple
summers ago.
1227
01:16:08,900 --> 01:16:11,900
There you go.
He did show recruiting prowess
1228
01:16:11,900 --> 01:16:16,600
at the FCS level.
So, obviously somewhat of a good
1229
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:22,700
salesman, the you of our grad
thing, we put it on here as a
1230
01:16:22,700 --> 01:16:25,600
pro because at least if you're
a, you of our grad, you've been
1231
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,100
in the state and you sow know,
the hierarchy, you know, the lay
1232
01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:31,900
of the land, you know how the
college high school ranks,
1233
01:16:31,900 --> 01:16:34,700
operate to some degree.
And you probably know the
1234
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:36,800
importance of Virginia Tech
football to people.
1235
01:16:37,300 --> 01:16:39,000
Yep.
Go to you of are you probably
1236
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,100
dealing with?
Body whose family is a hokey and
1237
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:44,600
lose their minds more than
likely at least one coach on
1238
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:51,300
that staff, is either a former
hokey or has ties to the program
1239
01:16:51,300 --> 01:16:52,500
in some way.
Yeah.
1240
01:16:52,700 --> 01:16:56,000
And then, Brian you threw this
on here because this wasn't on
1241
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:03,000
here the other day Club lit.
A, he likes to have a fun locker
1242
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,100
room.
Yeah, there are no silent
1243
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:08,000
dinners there.
There's no quiet.
1244
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,700
Getting ready for a game.
He lets the kids hang loose
1245
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:16,100
because I think a, he's a young
enough guy because he's 34, I
1246
01:17:16,100 --> 01:17:20,600
believe it's still in the back
of his mind, probably his
1247
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:25,100
college days, and the looser,
you are, the less you think
1248
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:29,900
about.
So there the pros, Shout out
1249
01:17:29,900 --> 01:17:32,200
club lit.
You know who you are out there?
1250
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,200
Let's go with the cons.
Brian, what are you saying?
1251
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,600
I mean, the biggest one, you
never coached at a power five
1252
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:43,900
school at any level position
anything.
1253
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:51,300
He below. 500 as a head coach.
Now, I will throw out there that
1254
01:17:51,300 --> 01:17:55,600
his first year at Austin Peay
brings this metric down
1255
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,300
significantly.
But overall is a head coach.
1256
01:17:59,300 --> 01:18:04,400
He is, he is well below 500 so
that's something that could be a
1257
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:09,600
red flag for a lot of folks.
Even He's had some success at a
1258
01:18:09,900 --> 01:18:14,100
place like UNC Charlotte, that
hasn't seen a ton of it, so
1259
01:18:14,900 --> 01:18:18,500
that's one thing to look at and
really he was a we've got a
1260
01:18:18,508 --> 01:18:22,700
limited sample size of him as a
FPS head coach at this point.
1261
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:27,700
So we're not sure you know, is
what he's been doing the early
1262
01:18:27,700 --> 01:18:31,800
returns something that will
Trend over a five-year span or
1263
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,800
is that something that, you
know, the Fuente pump that we
1264
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,100
saw in, 18 and 17 that will
Peter off.
1265
01:18:39,500 --> 01:18:44,100
Yeah.
And, you know, the UNC Charlotte
1266
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:47,500
is an upstart program, you know,
it's one of those.
1267
01:18:48,900 --> 01:18:52,500
You to FBS.
So him getting that job was
1268
01:18:52,500 --> 01:18:55,800
crazy in the first place and he
said, middle and success.
1269
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,900
There he did go to a bowl game
as first-year had a great
1270
01:18:58,900 --> 01:19:06,100
turnaround at Austin Peay and
what you here again about this
1271
01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:09,600
guy is, if you want to get
excitement going and getting
1272
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,300
people to pay, it seems like he
is that type.
1273
01:19:12,300 --> 01:19:15,800
He is a see, he's never coached
a P5, not not a lot of
1274
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,700
positions.
I know you mentioned his Have
1275
01:19:18,700 --> 01:19:23,900
got it up here his Chattanooga
when he was there for six years,
1276
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:30,000
it's just labeled assistant that
even guys who coach it that
1277
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,200
level.
Normally if you go look up
1278
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,900
something out there on them.
It gives a little more detail
1279
01:19:36,500 --> 01:19:42,100
but just an assistant there you
know it did say does some
1280
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:45,700
quarterback coaching wide
receiver coaching recruiting
1281
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:47,500
coordinator passing game
coordinator.
1282
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,000
So it literally sounds like if
they had a position to be
1283
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:52,900
filled, they just gave it to
him.
1284
01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:56,900
Which is, I don't know if that's
good or bad.
1285
01:19:57,700 --> 01:20:03,200
So, I mean, I could I could deal
with Healy.
1286
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,500
I would worry about the staff,
though, because he doesn't have
1287
01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:12,100
that many connections.
I think there would be money for
1288
01:20:12,100 --> 01:20:15,000
the staff.
I really do because I don't
1289
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,600
know.
Yeah, I don't think he would
1290
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,700
want to five million dollars?
No, no.
1291
01:20:19,900 --> 01:20:24,400
He's more of a probably to meal
or less would get it done for
1292
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:31,200
him that opens up some more for
your assistant coach salary
1293
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,500
pool.
It run up the numbers later as
1294
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,100
Reach For Excellence, reaches
its peak and when you get some
1295
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:39,600
more room to have some
flexibility there, so there's
1296
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,100
some options there.
If you get Healy in as your head
1297
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:47,500
coach, especially if he's able
to sell the program here, like
1298
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:53,000
he's been able to do elsewhere.
But it's a lot of risk involved
1299
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,400
there.
You don't know exactly what
1300
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,200
you're getting is, a head coach
because of the limit sample size
1301
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,100
and you don't know how that
success or at least middling
1302
01:21:01,100 --> 01:21:04,100
success will translate to power
5.
1303
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:07,600
All right.
Ian Brown, who you got next?
1304
01:21:09,100 --> 01:21:12,100
Next up, this one's going to be
fun to talk about.
1305
01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:14,900
It's David, Claussen head coach
Wake Forest.
1306
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,900
You know, we got some pros here
that will talk about.
1307
01:21:19,900 --> 01:21:25,700
We got some cons for the pros.
It's a guy that's been really
1308
01:21:25,700 --> 01:21:28,900
successful at every stop, even
if he hasn't necessarily Blown
1309
01:21:28,900 --> 01:21:31,600
Away In The Wind, the win-loss
record, he's definitely been
1310
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,200
successful.
And he is a Player Development
1311
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,000
Guru.
If you if you want a guy that
1312
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,500
can take your three star and
turn them into all-conference
1313
01:21:41,500 --> 01:21:44,900
players, he's got the ability to
do that.
1314
01:21:45,900 --> 01:21:49,000
Got connections to Virginia
recruiting from his time at
1315
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:50,300
Richmond.
From his current time.
1316
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:58,100
At Wake Forest, he is a mi
kyung, High floor, type higher
1317
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:11,100
u.s. trying now. you know, it's
a guy that You know, you
1318
01:22:11,100 --> 01:22:14,200
probably need the right guys
around him too, but he's not,
1319
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,700
he's never going to be a guy
that will go out there and get U
1320
01:22:17,700 --> 01:22:20,700
sub 500 records in back-to-back
Seasons.
1321
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:23,700
He may not get you to the
promised land though unless a
1322
01:22:23,700 --> 01:22:27,200
lot of things go as way.
He understands complementary
1323
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:31,400
football, a lot of times when
you see the one side of the
1324
01:22:31,407 --> 01:22:34,700
ball, go down the other side.
Can tries to pick it up.
1325
01:22:35,300 --> 01:22:42,500
That didn't happen this past
weekend, but And it's a guy with
1326
01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:45,600
the right offense in the right,
right?
1327
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,500
Flow of the game, can score
bunch of points and get the
1328
01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:52,700
right pieces in place there.
But there are some cons to this
1329
01:22:52,700 --> 01:22:56,200
higher Curtis what you got.
Well the biggest con is high,
1330
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:59,000
he's never been at a high
priority on.
1331
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:04,700
He's only been at 1/2 pry
profile program in his long
1332
01:23:04,700 --> 01:23:06,900
tenured coach in here and that
was one years in OC at
1333
01:23:06,900 --> 01:23:09,800
Tennessee.
He never had any Vacations,
1334
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,600
there's no expectations at U of
R.
1335
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:16,000
There was none in Bowling Green,
there's none at Wake Forest.
1336
01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:21,600
So immediately you walk in and
you sit here at Wake Forest if
1337
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,800
they go seven and five for the
next decade and make a bowl at
1338
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:31,000
programs happier and hell.
They are the other, the other
1339
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:36,300
big things is as much success as
he's had, we're winning and
1340
01:23:36,300 --> 01:23:38,000
going to bowls.
He's never really seen a
1341
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,700
recruiting on the currently.
They're sitting 59th, I think
1342
01:23:40,700 --> 01:23:44,200
maybe 49th and I looked at that
wrong in 24/7.
1343
01:23:44,500 --> 01:23:48,100
So usually you see a guy, get
tenured and win some games.
1344
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,100
It's you're going to start
picking off a four star here and
1345
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:57,100
there he hasn't.
And is that just, you know, way
1346
01:23:57,100 --> 01:24:00,300
cuz they is a smaller school,
it's a private school.
1347
01:24:00,300 --> 01:24:03,200
It's more difficult to get into.
Could that be it?
1348
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,300
Or it could it be?
He just doesn't know how to
1349
01:24:05,300 --> 01:24:13,200
pitch anybody, that worries me.
Now the last one here is he's
1350
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:18,100
never really used the portal.
He redshirts everybody and at
1351
01:24:18,100 --> 01:24:21,300
wait there's not Damon image and
likeness situations to start
1352
01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:24,400
dealing with that.
I think can be dealt with find
1353
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:30,000
the right compliance officers,
but the one of not a lot of
1354
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:34,400
portal.
We are in an era where you have
1355
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:38,900
to use the world, you have to,
because whoever comes in here
1356
01:24:38,900 --> 01:24:42,800
next year, you're probably
looking at portal quarterback.
1357
01:24:43,900 --> 01:24:48,800
Probably some portal defensive
lineman 22 portal quarterback.
1358
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:55,600
Okay, and this is, this is my
thing.
1359
01:24:59,300 --> 01:25:02,400
I think a Dave Clawson with what
he does.
1360
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:08,200
I think if he went to a Florida
and or LSU, he could potentially
1361
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,700
have better success.
They recruit themselves and it's
1362
01:25:11,700 --> 01:25:16,200
easy to just go get to Ace
recruiters and say here, 750,000
1363
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,900
dollars, go recruit when we get
close to closing time, I'll come
1364
01:25:19,900 --> 01:25:22,500
in and have a conversation with
you, by my side to close the
1365
01:25:22,500 --> 01:25:29,900
deal on the kid.
My deal with Claussen is that I
1366
01:25:29,900 --> 01:25:34,300
just don't think he is the type
of guy that can relate to
1367
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:39,300
Virginia talent that we need to
bring in the foreign 5 Star kids
1368
01:25:39,300 --> 01:25:42,700
in the state.
I don't think that that's a good
1369
01:25:42,700 --> 01:25:45,800
fit for him.
I think that's where that's
1370
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,800
where that's where it's a deal
breaker for me.
1371
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:54,900
I mean a lot of ways, he has
less personality than Fuente
1372
01:25:56,100 --> 01:26:02,400
times and I I get that he has
more of a grasp on how to
1373
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:06,400
recruit the area than Fuente
did, but if that's not turning
1374
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:10,000
into recruiting wins then it
doesn't really matter that
1375
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,100
you've got a better grasp.
So I just I just I don't think
1376
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:16,200
he's the he's not a very good
juice candidate.
1377
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:20,300
He doesn't bring the juice and
he's in his mid-50s.
1378
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,800
Yeah.
So and it's not just because
1379
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:26,000
he's older, I don't whether he
was old young and different.
1380
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,000
His personality is not, he's not
a juice, the locker room, he's
1381
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:30,900
not He doesn't juice the
program.
1382
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,300
Nobody's getting excited that we
got Dave Clawson, except maybe a
1383
01:26:35,300 --> 01:26:37,900
bunch of guys that are in their
60s that are like.
1384
01:26:37,900 --> 01:26:42,000
All right, well, we're at least
win seven games every year, we
1385
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,700
don't want that.
Hey Brian.
1386
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,300
Let's talk about the next guy
here.
1387
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,900
Jamie Chadwell head.
Coach Coastal Carolina.
1388
01:26:53,900 --> 01:27:02,200
What's our Pros on him?
So, Jamie Chadwell for the pros.
1389
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:06,200
He's won everywhere.
He's been He hasn't been a lot
1390
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:07,600
of places but he's won
everywhere.
1391
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:13,300
He's seen success in a difficult
G5 conference.
1392
01:27:13,300 --> 01:27:14,900
So that's something to talk
about there.
1393
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,200
He's got an offensive Focus,
great offensive numbers.
1394
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,200
I think we need probably going
to still need some good
1395
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,800
offensive numbers because I
think we will be able to bring
1396
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:28,600
in a defensive guy.
It'll be interesting to see how
1397
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:32,100
we, how we recruit for offense,
especially the way our roster is
1398
01:27:32,100 --> 01:27:34,300
built right now we're going to
need somebody that can focus on
1399
01:27:34,300 --> 01:27:36,300
that to get.
That built back up.
1400
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,800
So that's a positive in my mind.
He's got Regional recruiting
1401
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,500
ties.
He's been recruiting the the
1402
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:48,100
Mid-Atlantic for a while now.
And he was a near unanimous
1403
01:27:48,300 --> 01:27:52,300
coach of the year in 2020.
Pretty much every publication,
1404
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,600
that offers that type of award
named Jamie Chadwell coach of
1405
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:01,100
the year.
But Curtis, there's some Cons
1406
01:28:01,100 --> 01:28:04,600
with this with this higher,
which you got for me quite a few
1407
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,700
cons and what I'm going to add
here at the end, we didn't talk
1408
01:28:06,700 --> 01:28:09,600
about but having a conversation
with somebody over the weekend
1409
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:10,800
and I'll give a shout out when
we get there.
1410
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:14,400
First of all, similar to will
Healey no power 5.
1411
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,400
Experience at all.
None, he's been at North
1412
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,300
Greenville.
Delta State, Charleston,
1413
01:28:20,300 --> 01:28:25,400
Southern and college.
Excuse me, Coastal Carolina, not
1414
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,400
College of Charleston.
That would be hilarious.
1415
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,800
So none.
Next limited, sample size is a
1416
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:39,100
head coach at G5 Coastal
Carolina, just recently, flipped
1417
01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:42,700
over.
So, not a lot of experience
1418
01:28:42,700 --> 01:28:44,600
there.
A lot of experience elsewhere.
1419
01:28:46,100 --> 01:28:49,800
His best season was the coach
season, a very weird funky
1420
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,500
season.
They only lost one game that
1421
01:28:53,500 --> 01:28:59,900
year and if I can go back and
recall, I think that was who
1422
01:28:59,900 --> 01:29:03,000
they lose that game to give me a
melona effort this up.
1423
01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:09,000
The only game they lost was to
Liberty in a bowl.
1424
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:14,900
So, you know, even that year,
best living the best Liberty
1425
01:29:14,900 --> 01:29:17,400
team ever, best little buddy
team ever.
1426
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:21,400
Yes, we know all about that the
other piece is because of
1427
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:25,400
similar to Healy, and I
mentioned it before he, bringing
1428
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,200
the type of Staff, we need to
win, can you bring in the light
1429
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,000
recruiters the right
coordinators?
1430
01:29:30,500 --> 01:29:35,000
Would not having that experience
with a lot of connections, have
1431
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,200
bigger programs getting a sell
them to come here.
1432
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,400
The other thing I'm going to put
it as a again, as a con problem,
1433
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:49,000
with our boy delft over the
weekend, It is kind of a
1434
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,200
gimmicky, he was trying to
compare to Georgia Tech.
1435
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,600
It's not Georgia Tech because
they throw the ball 20 plus
1436
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,100
times a game.
But if you look at it, it is a
1437
01:29:58,108 --> 01:30:00,100
gimmicky offense.
It's essentially a shotgun
1438
01:30:00,100 --> 01:30:03,800
triple option with with passing.
Yep.
1439
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:13,900
And You know that worries me
essentially if you don't have
1440
01:30:13,900 --> 01:30:17,500
the right trigger man, can it
run exactly?
1441
01:30:17,700 --> 01:30:19,700
Now he's had a yet a really good
trigger man.
1442
01:30:19,700 --> 01:30:23,800
This year again, they still
average more but the question
1443
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:28,000
would be once you get I think
delft is making a point.
1444
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,300
Is once people get it on tape.
Does it still work?
1445
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,500
Try to say what the Fuente
offense that people sold it out?
1446
01:30:35,500 --> 01:30:38,500
Know the one day off.
Sense to me, it's still not
1447
01:30:38,500 --> 01:30:41,100
completely figured out.
Because even as bad as offensive
1448
01:30:41,100 --> 01:30:45,800
coordinator, as cornelison is
there are times like, you know,
1449
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:50,500
when we can get 400 yards of
total offense, And his play
1450
01:30:50,500 --> 01:30:57,900
calls are shit.
So I mean if we hire Chadwell I
1451
01:30:57,900 --> 01:31:00,700
would be said they're critical
of the staff, more than anything
1452
01:31:00,700 --> 01:31:04,000
sound similar to Healy.
Okay.
1453
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Yeah, the only thing I had
actually give Healy potential
1454
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:13,800
not over Chadwell just because I
could see Healy selling the
1455
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:15,800
program better than Chad.
Well, even though I think
1456
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,700
Chadwell might be the better X's
and O's guy, I see Chad, well,
1457
01:31:19,700 --> 01:31:28,600
it's kind of went a 2.0 in a lot
of ways so that that to me is,
1458
01:31:28,700 --> 01:31:30,600
is kind of what I would stay
away from.
1459
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:35,100
I feel like you might have the
same Same type of outcome.
1460
01:31:35,100 --> 01:31:38,300
If you go Chadwell that you had
with one day you might see a
1461
01:31:38,300 --> 01:31:42,300
bump initially but over time
you'd see it kind of Peter out.
1462
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:48,500
All right, this is essentially
now we're at our top three.
1463
01:31:49,700 --> 01:31:53,200
And I think the next guy is
probably solid to where the two
1464
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:58,100
top guys are 1A and 1B, but
let's go.
1465
01:31:58,300 --> 01:32:01,500
Let's go.
Tom Herman, Tom Herman former
1466
01:32:01,500 --> 01:32:05,900
Texas in Houston coach currently
is a bear's offensive analyst
1467
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:09,800
after seeing what they did today
against the Ravens.
1468
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:13,100
This might hurt his case, but we
digress.
1469
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:15,600
What do you see in this Pros for
Tommy Herman?
1470
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,300
The first one, I'll throw this
out there.
1471
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,100
We wanted him six years ago and
couldn't quite get it done.
1472
01:32:25,500 --> 01:32:28,600
That's a big one.
He is the best coach not named
1473
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:32,800
Mack Brown since 1986.
I've been four other coaches.
1474
01:32:33,500 --> 01:32:38,300
He's the only one to get them
somewhat back into a level of
1475
01:32:38,300 --> 01:32:42,200
relevancy.
Since Mack Brown left, and Mack
1476
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:47,000
Brown kind of left in a
inauspicious way there in terms
1477
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,900
of where the program was left.
So, Did pretty good.
1478
01:32:51,900 --> 01:32:54,100
All things considering
especially the dumpster fire
1479
01:32:54,100 --> 01:33:01,500
that he inherited from Charlie.
So you know that's one thing to
1480
01:33:01,500 --> 01:33:06,300
put it, put in his in his cap
there he was 22 and 4 at
1481
01:33:06,300 --> 01:33:08,600
Houston.
Including a Peach Bowl victory.
1482
01:33:10,100 --> 01:33:12,400
He won every Bowl.
He played in while he was at
1483
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:17,800
Texas or he coached in a Texas,
he was 70% win percentage as a
1484
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:21,400
head coach.
And he was the offensive
1485
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,000
coordinator and quarterback
coach for a national title team
1486
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,600
at Ohio State.
Pretty good resume.
1487
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:32,700
Their big stops head coaching
experience of the power 5 level.
1488
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,900
Just a lot of lot of boxes
checked with, with Tom Herman
1489
01:33:36,900 --> 01:33:39,400
here.
And overall, I mean, we didn't
1490
01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:43,600
have it listed here but good
recruiting background as well.
1491
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:46,300
Yeah.
Good recruiting background on
1492
01:33:46,300 --> 01:33:49,400
the cons are kind of as follows
though and I've got a few and
1493
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:51,200
I'm going to flip one more Pro
on here.
1494
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:53,400
He did take a year off
Collegiate football.
1495
01:33:54,300 --> 01:33:59,100
He went to the NFL level, I
think some people expected him
1496
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,300
to land somewhere at some
school.
1497
01:34:01,300 --> 01:34:06,700
Maybe it's savings or back at
Ohio State, but he didn't, which
1498
01:34:06,700 --> 01:34:12,500
was very telling to me really no
major ties to recruiting in our
1499
01:34:12,500 --> 01:34:17,100
region.
I see that as a negative because
1500
01:34:17,100 --> 01:34:21,500
he's got to start understanding
the mindset because he is a
1501
01:34:21,508 --> 01:34:25,100
state of Texas coach.
Yeah, we got his background
1502
01:34:25,100 --> 01:34:28,200
stuff from, but I think when you
have a guy who's been at bigger
1503
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:32,800
programs, it's a lot easier.
I think he would walk in and
1504
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:35,800
say, Here's my three Virginia,
guys.
1505
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:37,900
Here's my three guys deeper down
south.
1506
01:34:37,900 --> 01:34:40,000
Here's my three guys from or up
West.
1507
01:34:40,500 --> 01:34:44,900
I'm going to listen to them.
And what they tell me about how
1508
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:47,000
I need to approach each section
of the country.
1509
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:49,300
I think it's why he's had
success.
1510
01:34:49,300 --> 01:34:54,600
Now my other piece Pro, This guy
got fired after going seven and
1511
01:34:54,608 --> 01:34:59,100
three last year.
His three losses was an overtime
1512
01:34:59,100 --> 01:35:04,800
loss to the Sooners, in the
shootout, hip and then two
1513
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:09,100
losses by Less Than 3 points.
And they fired him.
1514
01:35:10,500 --> 01:35:13,600
Clearly he irritated some big
booster down there after the
1515
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:20,200
bulb, my opinion, but I like
Herman.
1516
01:35:20,700 --> 01:35:23,200
Um, I think Herman could put a
good staff together.
1517
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:25,900
I think guys would work for
Herman because they know again.
1518
01:35:26,100 --> 01:35:31,700
70% winning, you went 70 percent
clip, you know, roughly every
1519
01:35:31,700 --> 01:35:34,100
three or four years.
That's that's ten wins a year,
1520
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,000
dip.
And I felt like the, the really
1521
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,500
only - that I think moves the
needle for me is that he is a
1522
01:35:40,508 --> 01:35:44,800
Texas region guy.
How will he adjust to that in
1523
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,800
the Mid-Atlantic?
Will he make that adjustment?
1524
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:50,900
And I think he can but that's
really the only I think red flag
1525
01:35:50,900 --> 01:35:55,400
for me that really matters
because that's the one that's
1526
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:59,400
going to be the most important
to kind of flip in the other
1527
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,200
direction.
All right, Brian.
1528
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,300
So we got to the top of the
mountain and we have a one a and
1529
01:36:05,300 --> 01:36:06,500
one B.
We're going to start with the
1530
01:36:06,500 --> 01:36:11,100
one be on.
Let's talk about the head coach
1531
01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:13,200
down at louisiana-lafayette
Billy Napier.
1532
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:19,000
Yep, a lot of Pros here.
Obviously we got to experience
1533
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:23,200
as a head coach solid program
that he's put together down at
1534
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,100
Lafayette.
Kind of built that back up real
1535
01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:29,300
quick.
When and some big-time games
1536
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,800
big-time program experience
since he's been coaching.
1537
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:35,900
So he's had some stops, a big,
big programs.
1538
01:36:36,900 --> 01:36:40,300
Obviously, we talked about it.
We're talking about Alabama as
1539
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:45,000
being the big one there and
Speaking of Alabama, he is a
1540
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,400
disciple of the Saban model if
you did not read the athletic
1541
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:54,200
article on that.
It's wild like literally 280 and
1542
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:57,700
pretty great.
Every aspect of the saving model
1543
01:36:57,700 --> 01:37:00,900
gets put into place at
Lafayette.
1544
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:06,500
He runs that program like a
power five program and he
1545
01:37:06,500 --> 01:37:09,600
recruits the state well despite
just being a G5 program.
1546
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,600
So that's a big thing that
they're pulling in a couple you
1547
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:16,700
know French Our star players for
Star players, they're doing,
1548
01:37:16,700 --> 01:37:19,300
they're doing some things down
there, that most G5 programs
1549
01:37:19,300 --> 01:37:24,500
don't do.
Any took over, you know, solid
1550
01:37:24,500 --> 01:37:29,000
Raging Raging Cajun program and
made you know, that Team Elite.
1551
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:35,400
They're really running the the
good old Sun Belt now so and he
1552
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:40,800
has a great recruiting profile
including is one painful.
1553
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,400
One for every hokey thing
because the Taj Taj Boyd's on
1554
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,300
there.
Yeah, the downfall.
1555
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:50,300
Yeah.
So he was at Clemson back in the
1556
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:57,900
late 2000s and recruited Tajh,
Boyd.
1557
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:03,600
And as some other big time names
from when he was at Alabama,
1558
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:05,800
including Jerry Judy and a
couple other guys.
1559
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:11,000
So yeah, he's got a who's who of
recruiting so recruiting would
1560
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:15,100
take a big bump if we were able
to make Make that that, that
1561
01:38:15,100 --> 01:38:17,200
pull work.
But what are some of those cons
1562
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,300
there, buddy?
Well, it's a symbol to the point
1563
01:38:20,300 --> 01:38:24,400
a situation six years ago, it's
another G5 darling, he's doing
1564
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:30,700
great things at the G5 level.
He's you know, he's double digit
1565
01:38:30,700 --> 01:38:33,900
wins for second season down in
Louisiana Lafayette.
1566
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:39,700
Reports that he's been offered
and he's passed on other jobs on
1567
01:38:39,700 --> 01:38:42,800
the Auburn and South Carolina
jobs are kind of the first two
1568
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,700
that kind of open your eyes.
There's more money there.
1569
01:38:45,700 --> 01:38:52,600
There's definitely definitely,
you know, especially Auburn lots
1570
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:55,500
easier to recruit down there
much easier to recruit and it
1571
01:38:55,500 --> 01:39:00,000
all over.
So, it's why didn't he take
1572
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,000
those jobs is something he's
truly trying to find that
1573
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,100
perfect fit.
And could we be it?
1574
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,400
And he really has no establish
DMV test.
1575
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:13,600
He got Boyd back 10 years ago
but there's, there's not a lot
1576
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,100
here.
He was born in Cookeville,
1577
01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:17,100
Tennessee.
He grew up in the northern part
1578
01:39:17,100 --> 01:39:19,100
of Georgia.
He's only about five hours from
1579
01:39:19,100 --> 01:39:20,800
Blacksburg from where he grew
up.
1580
01:39:21,100 --> 01:39:27,400
So it's one of those things.
He's not extremely, did not grow
1581
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:31,100
up extremely far from
Blacksburg, but definitely a
1582
01:39:31,100 --> 01:39:38,300
ways and the G5 darling thing we
put on there.
1583
01:39:39,900 --> 01:39:42,500
It is, it happens, every time.
It happened to Herman and
1584
01:39:42,500 --> 01:39:47,300
happened to Fuente, and they'll
be more but to what Brian said,
1585
01:39:47,300 --> 01:39:54,000
in the pros category Napier was
at Clemson. 06 07 08 09.
1586
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,300
He got let go, I believe in 10.
I think I had his stuff up here.
1587
01:39:58,700 --> 01:40:02,400
Dabo let him go.
And that's one of those things
1588
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:08,700
to where he was not dabo's guy.
He was originally told me about
1589
01:40:08,700 --> 01:40:11,700
this guy.
He was there through 10 so we
1590
01:40:11,700 --> 01:40:14,200
got fired at the end of 10th
when he brought on Chad Morris.
1591
01:40:15,500 --> 01:40:19,400
But he had that stop five years
of the program like Clemson even
1592
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:23,400
in the mid-2000s, when they were
not the best team, then Florida
1593
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:28,100
State were still, the closest
SEC type programs in the ACC.
1594
01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:31,700
So, is there five years?
Tight ends running game
1595
01:40:31,700 --> 01:40:36,400
coordinator 0c n QB, coach.
He went to Alabama's an analyst,
1596
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:39,000
he's been an associate head
coach of Colorado, State under
1597
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,400
mcilwain.
And then he went to Alabama 13
1598
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:46,900
14 15 16 and you Alabama
recruits itself but you still
1599
01:40:46,900 --> 01:40:51,200
have to go in there and do the
work and it's impressive from
1600
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:55,100
there.
He did one student in 2017 is an
1601
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:59,300
OC and then he's been at
louisiana-lafayette since then.
1602
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:06,000
I think he gets the bigger
picture and I think having that
1603
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:10,000
much time at those big programs
That's the biggest difference.
1604
01:41:10,300 --> 01:41:12,100
People are going to come and say
it to us Brown.
1605
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:16,300
Well we went to is with
Patterson at TCU, what was TCU
1606
01:41:16,500 --> 01:41:19,300
during the time, he was there.
What type of program?
1607
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,700
Do you have?
They might have been in a lychee
1608
01:41:23,700 --> 01:41:30,100
path but it was a G5 program.
DC was kind of what, you know,
1609
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:34,400
not quite what since he is baby.
What U CF was a few years back.
1610
01:41:34,500 --> 01:41:37,500
Yeah, but it's still it's
different.
1611
01:41:37,900 --> 01:41:41,600
It's who you're across the field
from every week is different.
1612
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,400
Even with they pierced in an
Arizona stayed out in the
1613
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,000
Pac-12.
It's different across the field.
1614
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:52,200
It's more Talent.
Then coaching at ECU and the
1615
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:56,600
early part of the 2010s.
That's my big thing with him.
1616
01:41:57,900 --> 01:42:00,200
Yeah.
And like I said, the, the thing
1617
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:04,100
that where he runs that program,
like a power 5 is the thing that
1618
01:42:04,300 --> 01:42:07,200
really impresses me.
And I think that's that carries
1619
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:11,400
over immediately, because he's
not having to really change a
1620
01:42:11,407 --> 01:42:13,300
whole lot of his day-to-day
operations.
1621
01:42:13,300 --> 01:42:15,900
He's selling the program.
Like a power five program.
1622
01:42:15,900 --> 01:42:20,200
He is fundamentally setting up,
practice and lifting and
1623
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,600
Workouts of all that stuff.
Like it's a power five program.
1624
01:42:24,300 --> 01:42:28,200
He's planning out his month day
and week like it's a powerful
1625
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:31,400
program, he's ready to take that
step.
1626
01:42:32,500 --> 01:42:36,400
So the question is are we going
to make it make an offer for him
1627
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,500
to do that?
And is he going to accept that
1628
01:42:39,500 --> 01:42:41,700
offer?
Because more than likely he's
1629
01:42:41,700 --> 01:42:46,400
going to have at least some of
those other programs at our
1630
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,500
level calling if not the LSU's
and Florida's.
1631
01:42:50,300 --> 01:42:54,100
It's very, very true.
Alright, well, let's flip over.
1632
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:58,300
Let's get our one egg and Brian,
let's go back and forth with the
1633
01:42:58,300 --> 01:43:00,200
pros in the column.
Because this is our guy.
1634
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:05,100
We actually again we have been
sitting at the table and this is
1635
01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:06,700
our guy.
He might not be everybody's one
1636
01:43:06,700 --> 01:43:09,700
but he's our one.
Yep Charles Huff.
1637
01:43:10,300 --> 01:43:16,500
It is the Marshal head coach and
Brian let's kind of expunged
1638
01:43:16,500 --> 01:43:19,900
upon his prose and then we'll
talk about the cons.
1639
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:26,800
He grew up in the DMV.
Yep, Marilyn Guy, Maryland guy.
1640
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:34,900
So he grew up in it.
Yeah, you have a feeling that he
1641
01:43:34,900 --> 01:43:37,900
understands.
Finally Maryland probably
1642
01:43:37,900 --> 01:43:40,100
understands Virginia, he grew up
in it.
1643
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,600
Yeah not only grew up in it but
went to college at Hampton in
1644
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:49,600
the 757 actually.
While he was there blocked for
1645
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,300
the same running back that I
blocked for in high school
1646
01:43:52,300 --> 01:43:55,300
Alonzo.
Coleman shout-out, Halifax
1647
01:43:55,300 --> 01:44:00,900
County Hall of Famer Alonzo
Coleman in the Charles Charles
1648
01:44:00,900 --> 01:44:03,200
up with us.
As helpful as a center for
1649
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,500
Hampton, when he was there in
the early 2000s.
1650
01:44:08,100 --> 01:44:10,300
Oh, some of the better Hamptons
squads as well.
1651
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:14,100
I know Alonzo broke some records
while he was running back there.
1652
01:44:14,100 --> 01:44:18,700
So so Huff was put Paving the
way for Alonzo to break records
1653
01:44:18,700 --> 01:44:20,900
to hand-painted in the
mid-2000s.
1654
01:44:21,300 --> 01:44:26,900
So from the 757 went to Hampton,
I don't think they would be even
1655
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,400
even coming from the DMV going
down in there.
1656
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:33,000
I got a feeling he understands
the culture down. 275 and The
1657
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:38,700
Importance of Being a of that
area to recruiting.
1658
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:43,200
Absolutely.
So this is a biggie and I don't
1659
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:48,000
give a damn where he was at.
He is always crushed Virginia
1660
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,600
recruiting And everywhere else,
but he's really done a damn good
1661
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,300
job in Virginia especially this
time at Penn State.
1662
01:44:56,700 --> 01:44:59,500
And I know people are going to
say, well, he was at Penn State.
1663
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:03,500
It's once again, he had the
program.
1664
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:10,000
He still had to sell it.
He likely understands everything
1665
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,900
in high school.
I'm like, Justin Fuente, Brian.
1666
01:45:14,300 --> 01:45:17,000
I got a feeling he could walk
into your buddy down at Oscar
1667
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,500
Smith, I bet he already knows
him.
1668
01:45:19,700 --> 01:45:23,000
Yeah, I bet.
So I bet he knows Lauren
1669
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,200
Johnson, I bet he knows some of
the better coaches in Northern.
1670
01:45:26,700 --> 01:45:31,300
It would not be a, I need to
learn what these people do and
1671
01:45:31,300 --> 01:45:33,900
who they are.
It would be so, it's Charles.
1672
01:45:34,700 --> 01:45:36,200
Yeah.
It's, uh, he knows it.
1673
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,000
He already knows the lay of the
land.
1674
01:45:38,700 --> 01:45:42,400
He's a guy that they were
probably familiar with from Penn
1675
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,600
State.
He's recruited some from, for
1676
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,600
Alabama, when he was down there,
he's obviously that's part of
1677
01:45:47,608 --> 01:45:52,600
his footprint Marshall.
Now, They got the guy can just
1678
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:56,300
flat-out recruit.
I mean, you know, we can run
1679
01:45:56,300 --> 01:45:58,900
down the list of the guys, he
signed from Virginia, while he
1680
01:45:58,900 --> 01:46:01,700
was at Penn State, but it speaks
for itself.
1681
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:09,100
I mean assigned to of the best
running backs that one of the
1682
01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:12,200
better running backs that
Virginia has had in a while.
1683
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:15,200
And then he also signed say,
Quan Berkeley while it was
1684
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:19,200
there.
So Berkeley in Micah, right.
1685
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:24,100
Mike Parsons, yep.
And Ricky Slade, really know
1686
01:46:24,100 --> 01:46:26,100
that.
Didn't, that didn't work out the
1687
01:46:26,100 --> 01:46:29,100
way anybody wanted it to but
kind of didn't.
1688
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,200
All right.
Well, let's talk about this next
1689
01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:32,600
Brian.
Let's just kind of get away from
1690
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:36,800
recruiting and essentially so
one reason, he's 18 grew up in
1691
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:40,200
the area, went to college in the
area has recruited the area has
1692
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:45,500
recruited Virginia big He's been
an assistant head coach for,
1693
01:46:45,500 --> 01:46:49,500
Nick Saban amongst others who
have been assistant coaches.
1694
01:46:49,500 --> 01:46:52,000
I'll give you two names.
Mario crystal ball and Kirby
1695
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:57,800
Smart.
We're in a hc4 Saban, you go far
1696
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:02,000
if you're younger coach, it
matters it does.
1697
01:47:02,100 --> 01:47:06,400
And in a lot of people say,
well, that's just a title of
1698
01:47:06,407 --> 01:47:08,200
just means he's second in
command.
1699
01:47:09,900 --> 01:47:13,800
Yes, Nick Saban has tapped you
to be his second in command when
1700
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:17,200
he's got to go over here on a
recruiting trip but there still
1701
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:19,100
needs to be practiced that day
or next.
1702
01:47:19,100 --> 01:47:23,800
Got to do this, for some reason,
you're in charge for the day,
1703
01:47:24,700 --> 01:47:29,300
that's a lot.
Especially saving Nate exactly
1704
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,100
completely screwed on up in the
head.
1705
01:47:34,900 --> 01:47:39,000
Yeah, that's a big one for me
and, you know, the other one
1706
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,000
he's been at big-time program
since 2014, we already talked
1707
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,100
about the facades of Penn State
and Alabama.
1708
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:50,700
You definitely glean some of the
You know, tips of the trade,
1709
01:47:50,700 --> 01:47:53,600
some of the what it takes to win
at those power five stars by
1710
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:58,300
having those type of stops.
And, you know, we're seeing are
1711
01:47:58,300 --> 01:48:01,000
already at Marshall with some of
the way he's interacting on
1712
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,800
social media, some of the, the
public events we've seen, he's a
1713
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:10,900
CEO type coach, he can sell a
program, he can sell recruiting
1714
01:48:10,900 --> 01:48:15,200
to the players, he knows how to
make his program, shine out in
1715
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,900
the best way possible.
It's very, very true, man.
1716
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:22,600
I mean you see imposed he
basically tweets every week who
1717
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:24,700
his players of the week or win
or lose?
1718
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,100
I know I saw a picture of him.
He was at some local
1719
01:48:27,100 --> 01:48:29,500
establishment in Huntington,
maybe where he has breakfast or
1720
01:48:29,500 --> 01:48:32,100
lunch constantly taking a
picture with the owner.
1721
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:38,800
And you see that and understand
you just feel like he would be
1722
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,900
that engagement guy.
I feel like it's funny as if I
1723
01:48:42,907 --> 01:48:46,100
don't know if he drinks or not.
Do you feel like the first week?
1724
01:48:46,100 --> 01:48:48,000
He's there.
Like he would somehow make it to
1725
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:51,600
tots and like take a picture
with the owner having a rail.
1726
01:48:52,500 --> 01:48:58,100
He definitely have a rail at
tots and I mean he's like he
1727
01:48:58,100 --> 01:49:01,400
just seems like the type of
coach that players, like, to
1728
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:06,100
play for Community can be proud.
Proud of, and donors would be
1729
01:49:06,100 --> 01:49:08,700
willing to invest in.
And I mean, that's, that's the
1730
01:49:08,700 --> 01:49:13,700
three big things that you really
want from your head coach now
1731
01:49:13,700 --> 01:49:16,300
before, and we're talking off
the feet, obviously wins and
1732
01:49:16,300 --> 01:49:19,400
losses matter.
But in terms of off the field,
1733
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:23,300
appeal to the players appealed,
the community appeal to the
1734
01:49:23,300 --> 01:49:24,700
donors.
Yep.
1735
01:49:24,900 --> 01:49:29,600
All right, there are some cons
and the first one is the lack of
1736
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:31,400
head coach experience.
She's only been a head coach one
1737
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:32,900
year.
Yep.
1738
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,900
They went seven and for their
bowl eligible.
1739
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:40,400
They got one more game.
It'll be a tough one, but they
1740
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:42,200
probably shouldn't.
They're probably favored in that
1741
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:43,400
game.
I haven't looked at the line
1742
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,500
yet, but they're probably going
to be favored in that game.
1743
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:52,200
They are going to be favored in
that game so you can be 8 and 4
1744
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:54,100
as a head coach in his first
year.
1745
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,800
And that's not a bad program,
but they did.
1746
01:49:57,800 --> 01:50:01,200
I mean, when you completely flip
your coaching staff, I think,
1747
01:50:02,100 --> 01:50:04,200
especially as good as doc, was
there.
1748
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:09,300
That's, that's where I am.
Like, when I see, it's a lack of
1749
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:14,900
that sucks.
They let go, they just didn't
1750
01:50:14,900 --> 01:50:17,300
re-sign Doc.
Holliday, he had a damn good
1751
01:50:17,300 --> 01:50:21,000
season last year.
You imagine walking in and
1752
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:28,700
saying go match that he has, he
has now obviously the other one,
1753
01:50:28,700 --> 01:50:30,900
no P5, head coaching experience
there.
1754
01:50:31,300 --> 01:50:33,800
I think everybody on this list
with the exception of Tom
1755
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:37,000
Herman, Has no P5 coaching
experience.
1756
01:50:38,300 --> 01:50:39,700
Yep, not head coaching
experience.
1757
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,900
And it's and that's going to be,
that's going to be hard.
1758
01:50:41,900 --> 01:50:45,500
Just because our program is not
at a point right now, where we
1759
01:50:45,500 --> 01:50:50,500
can.
I mean, I sorry, Tom Herman and
1760
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,200
Dave Clawson will be the other
one.
1761
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:55,300
Well, yeah, so those would be
the two.
1762
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:58,700
Yeah, most people do.
That's that's the problem.
1763
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:05,000
But I think that's the problem
with our program right now is
1764
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:09,500
that we're kind of in that
middling area where we can hire.
1765
01:51:11,100 --> 01:51:15,800
The up-and-coming P5 coaches
that are making some noise.
1766
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:17,900
We're not quite at that level.
Those guys are going to the Blue
1767
01:51:17,900 --> 01:51:20,200
Bloods.
They already had success in the
1768
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,800
power 5 level they're getting
looks at.
1769
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,500
You know now we got LSU open
USC, open Florida.
1770
01:51:25,500 --> 01:51:35,300
Open you got Washington open.
Now the upside is that we're
1771
01:51:35,300 --> 01:51:37,900
likely not in a bunch of
competition for whoever gets
1772
01:51:37,900 --> 01:51:42,500
hired at Washington.
We're not in We're in a little
1773
01:51:42,500 --> 01:51:46,300
competition with TCU little.
Yeah.
1774
01:51:47,300 --> 01:51:52,100
Florida and LSU are probably
going to be targeting whoever
1775
01:51:52,100 --> 01:51:55,600
our top one or two candidates
are they are also targeting them
1776
01:51:55,700 --> 01:51:58,000
there at least on their list.
They may not be at the top of
1777
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,700
their list but they are on their
own these Woods.
1778
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:03,400
Absolutely.
Alright last piece is he has
1779
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:06,700
really no 0 C or D c-- coaching
experience.
1780
01:52:06,700 --> 01:52:09,600
He did do some special teams
coordinator and Run game
1781
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:14,100
coordinating.
Back to his CEO Mantra in.
1782
01:52:14,100 --> 01:52:16,800
Somebody said, is that could
that be good or bad?
1783
01:52:17,100 --> 01:52:19,000
Well, what type of Coach are you
looking for?
1784
01:52:21,700 --> 01:52:25,700
I think with his connections to
Big programs and the waves
1785
01:52:25,700 --> 01:52:29,200
traveled and is regional ties,
you would have getting getting a
1786
01:52:29,208 --> 01:52:32,600
staff that can handle the o.c.
and DC duties and not
1787
01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:36,300
necessarily needing a ton of
daily day-to-day impact from
1788
01:52:36,300 --> 01:52:39,700
your head coach.
On those areas is probably not a
1789
01:52:39,700 --> 01:52:41,200
big deal.
Yeah.
1790
01:52:41,900 --> 01:52:45,400
So there it is.
That is our list.
1791
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:52,200
A lot of candidates, you know, I
think something's out by I think
1792
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:55,200
next week, we're talking her UVA
game rap and we're talking about
1793
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:57,200
the next head coach, I really
do.
1794
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,100
I think it's going to come out,
whoever it is regardless of
1795
01:53:00,100 --> 01:53:03,400
their situation comes out next
week because I think whoever it
1796
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,400
is, especially if it's one of
these guys already coaching
1797
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,500
somewhere and if they're in the
championship game.
1798
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,200
There is going to be it's going
to be that split.
1799
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:16,500
Do you see so many teams have at
this time of year?
1800
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:19,600
We're not going to discuss
pickles tonight, guys.
1801
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:22,400
Wanna hit that Thursday because
we've been almost at it for two
1802
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:26,500
hours and it's late and we got
the money around on a game up
1803
01:53:26,500 --> 01:53:28,900
top here.
So that is going to wrap up this
1804
01:53:28,900 --> 01:53:31,600
