The Monarchs came into Blacksburg and smoked the Hokies in an embarrassing low point for a once great program. While the program officially died last week against Vandy the Pry regime came to an end Saturday, a regime bookended by unexpected losses to the Monarchs. This week we close the Brent Pry era and start looking towards the future and whether the BOV and hiring committee can find a Lazarus Pit to bring this program back to life.

00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Well, we kind of a man short
tonight.
17
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,880
He's hanging in the background
here, but he's on vacation.
18
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,800
But y'all, how's it going
tonight fellas?
19
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Doing good.
Go ahead, Shelton.
20
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Man, I'm, I'm feeling good.
I, I feel, I feel rejuvenated
21
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,360
after the news on Sunday.
I feel like we are slowly and,
22
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880
and soon going to start
embarking on a new era of BT
23
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,080
football.
So, and I remember saying this
24
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,960
Saturday night, like I think I
think that loss was good because
25
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,360
it will completely strip
everything in that
26
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,040
administration down to parts.
We will sell it off, we will gut
27
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,800
it, we will get rid of it.
We will we will jettison every
28
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,000
old idea from from the previous
administration and we're going
29
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,040
to move forward with this new
era of hoagie football.
30
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,800
So I'm excited, man.
I know it's going to be some
31
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
maybe some some bumpy sees
ahead, but I'm excited for the
32
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
long term future.
No, man.
33
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,240
I mean he great way to put it.
Great way to put it, Shelton,
34
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,040
He's smiling.
He's been smiling ever since,
35
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080
you know?
So if Shelton's happy, I'm happy
36
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,040
because I know he's coming with
some factual stats.
37
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,040
He's not just going to be blind
opinionated like I am.
38
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
I don't think it's any secret
how I felt.
39
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Well, I was in Vegas, man, when
we just played, ODUI was in
40
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Vegas.
I may have watched like 1/4, but
41
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,720
it just was.
There was no lie, you know, it
42
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,240
was, it was the end, man.
You know what I'm saying?
43
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,640
It was a relationship where two
people have been together since
44
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,120
high school and you know, they
was getting ready to go to
45
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520
college and they was trying to
figure out, are we going to make
46
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,360
this work?
No, you going to go to college
47
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,080
and you're going to get fucked.
You don't want to be together no
48
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,520
more.
So let's just go ahead and end
49
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,560
it and still be friends.
And you know your way.
50
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,760
I go my way.
So I'm feeling good.
51
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920
I'm feeling great.
The only thing that I'm upset
52
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,960
about is that I was in Vegas and
I did not go put any money on
53
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,000
ODU or I didn't.
How much money would you have
54
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,880
made if he was the first one
fired?
55
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,040
You should have put it we told
you.
56
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,680
Yeah, I I should have.
I should have.
57
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,800
I didn't, but so was but.
We just told you to go.
58
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Make it yeah.
Was UCL as coach fire first
59
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120
though?
I don't know, but I think the
60
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,960
odds for firing you could have
got either way the.
61
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Odds.
You would have got some before.
62
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400
Yeah, 100%.
Not that we're reveling in it or
63
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,320
anything, just just so you know.
But tonight we're not doing.
64
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,960
No, the enemy is Wofford.
Lord have mercy.
65
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,600
If we have to get to know them,
then we, we might be losing our
66
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,280
shit here, but we are going to
tell the truth about a lot of
67
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,240
stuff that's happened over this
weekend.
68
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,600
And I'm going to say something
real quick.
69
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,960
It might piss some of y'all off,
but I talked with talent about
70
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,160
this.
We're going to get into a bunch
71
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640
of shit tonight.
We ain't getting into who the
72
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,000
next coach is.
OK?
73
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
That will be a future episode.
Start with you.
74
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,280
Ain't no need right now, y'all.
We got 10 weeks, 10 weeks until
75
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:54,200
that comes down.
You've got likely the BOV stuff
76
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,320
coming back.
We we've heard about some of the
77
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,120
new structural stuff.
We want to talk about that.
78
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,400
And don't worry, because tally
me, you, Shelton, I couldn't get
79
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,520
in touch with you.
I'm sorry.
80
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,560
I don't know what you're doing
today, but what we're going to
81
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,160
do, give us about a month and
we're going to bring you all on
82
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,240
here and you tell us who and why
you want.
83
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,160
We got our opinions.
There's people we like.
84
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Of course, we've chatted about
it, but give us about a month.
85
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Let the season go.
Because when I say Tally, I
86
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480
don't want somebody be like, I
want this guy and that guy go
87
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,640
look like ask the next 5 weeks.
You ain't going to want him no
88
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520
more.
So give it a little bit of time,
89
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,480
let it simmer and come back in
about a month and we will, like
90
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,040
we did last week, we're going to
bring y'all on to tell us who
91
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,840
your coach is.
We'll keep a tally of it.
92
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,480
The best part about it is
recorded.
93
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,200
So if somebody comes up tally,
that's going to be great in
94
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,600
about two years, right?
Somebody come up in here and
95
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,320
said that's the coach, that's
the coach.
96
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,680
And they asked are we going to
bring you up?
97
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,240
We're going to bring your
picture on the screen and say,
98
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
y'all remember when Andretti
said to hire this guy?
99
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,800
So that's what you did.
But we're off on that night.
100
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,240
But before we get into the
firing and everything, I want to
101
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920
ask you all questions.
Shelton, I believe you would
102
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,000
have been in school or about to
go to school when everything
103
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,200
started because this is the
first.
104
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720
This is the three of the ODUS.
Which is worse?
105
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,360
We'll start with Sheldon Tally
20/18/2022 or 2025.
106
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Which one is the worst?
Start with me or.
107
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Start with you.
Yeah, OK.
108
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Yeah.
So for me, I would say, I would
109
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,840
say 2022 was the worst and I can
explain why. 2018, I felt like
110
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,560
was just a genuine upset where
you had a team just played
111
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,640
absolute lights out with a
quarterback that nobody's ever
112
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440
heard of, went on to become a
church minister.
113
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Like that was just a team
playing their best game, like
114
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,040
all the collectively the best
game of their lives.
115
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,880
And, you know, lost by two
touchdowns.
116
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,640
But we ended up having a, a 500
season that year.
117
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,720
So I mean, you know, it wasn't
like, you know, it wasn't like a
118
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,080
major shift, like the trajectory
of our program.
119
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,880
The reason I, I'd say 2022 is
because that was the first time
120
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,040
in the pride era.
And there were so many high
121
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,760
hopes and expectations for, you
know, for, for for the coaching
122
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,120
staff.
And, you know, obviously for
123
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,440
that season that when we saw
that horrible performance, and
124
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
particularly considering how
poorly Tech played, just the
125
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,560
amount of coaching mistakes,
the, you know, the procedural
126
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,960
penalties, all that stuff, I
felt like it really put a huge
127
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,080
stamper on what we thought was
going to be a very positive
128
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880
moment.
And I feel like ever since that
129
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,960
game, there's always kind of
this idea in the back of your
130
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,919
head of like, OK, is this stuff
a really.
131
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:44,880
It's because they were just so
poor that night that it was like
132
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,320
it kind of, you know, ripped
away all of your, your, you
133
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,360
know, good feelings about what
what was achievable for for tech
134
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,640
football.
So that was definitely kind of
135
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,600
a, a dramatic shift, I would
say, in the overall optimism of
136
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,560
the Hokie fan base.
And that's why I'd say 2022.
137
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,040
What about you, Tyler?
Everyone, everyone is is is a is
138
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,560
a good for that everyone.
But but I'll say 25 for me, man,
139
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,520
it's just because Sheldon makes
a great point, you know, makes a
140
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,640
great point when he talks about
22 went down, but 25 was
141
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,320
absolutely like you didn't do
nothing.
142
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,400
You know, in the other games, it
was like you were kind of in it,
143
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,800
you know, you had this going
good or this kind of you was
144
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,920
losing 31 to 0 at your house.
Like somebody walked in your
145
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,280
house, you was throwing a BBQ,
kicked you off your own grill,
146
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:48,040
said you go sit in the bathroom
till I finish cooking and then
147
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,920
I'll bring you a plate.
And then they didn't even bring
148
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,520
you a plate.
They just had you sitting in the
149
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
bathroom with a toilet full of
dookie.
150
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,920
That's what happened. 25 was
horrible.
151
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,840
It's been leading up to it.
I mean, I guess the only reason
152
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,240
I would say, you know, man,
maybe not, you know, maybe not.
153
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Maybe it was 22 because we had
high hopes, but it's like you
154
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,800
kind of you you you start off
the season with South Carolina
155
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,200
and you kind of lose at the end.
Was it a fluke?
156
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Then you go up on Vanderbilt.
You, you like, you got some kind
157
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,320
of hope.
You feel like, OK, yeah.
158
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Then you got ODU.
That comes in.
159
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,440
First of all, we've seen the
team quit against Vandy, and
160
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,720
then you're coming to this game
and the same team showed up.
161
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,760
So you didn't want it to happen.
But it's like most people who
162
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,320
have watched the team knew this
team has quit.
163
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,920
You know, whether they quit on
the coach or they just quit
164
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
football, like, I don't know.
I don't know what it is, but it
165
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440
wasn't good and it showed on the
field.
166
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560
So 25 to me was by far the
worst.
167
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,920
See, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm against
25 needed to happen. 2022 is
168
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,080
bad.
But to me, 2018 is the one that
169
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,200
they showed there were flaws in
the way everything was built
170
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,480
around the football program
because we were ten win, 9 win.
171
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320
Could have been even better in
2017.
172
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,320
And then remember 18, we went
down to Florida State, shut them
173
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,560
out, swag, surf, all that stuff.
It was unbelievable.
174
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,800
And it's like you have this
game, you're 2 and I think we
175
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,400
were ranked 18th in the country.
And it was just a meltdown
176
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,280
because everybody keeps trying
to point when did we lose it?
177
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,520
I think it was right there.
You went to their house, which
178
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,200
you never should have did That
happened.
179
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Josh Jackson snaps his leg, you
go six and six.
180
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200
See the worst part, Sheldon?
That year for them, they weren't
181
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,040
an 8 or 9 or two.
They were four and eight.
182
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,760
They were four and eight in
2018.
183
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,840
That game is to me is what the
game that that is the game that
184
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,880
set us back the most.
Because if you go down there and
185
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,440
you stomp them or you just win
by a touchdown or two, all
186
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,640
right, you probably get out of
that Series A lot quicker.
187
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Like we ain't coming down here
no more.
188
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040
We beat y'all.
We gave you a game that ain't
189
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,880
happening.
But it showed so many issues
190
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,120
internally on the program, and
it's just feels like it's been
191
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:18,400
downhill since then since then.
2019 was the one blip in the end
192
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,760
of 2023.
So three different opinions on
193
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,320
that and I see y'all some people
are throwing it in here 2018 25
194
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Sheldon it, but it's tough to
like you said y'all both make
195
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:37,640
great points because 25 the quit
was there tally.
196
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,720
But like you said, Sheldon,
2022, it's the start of a new
197
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,920
era.
And when he snapped the ball
198
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,400
from Norfolk to Virginia Beach,
good Lord almighty, it was like
199
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,600
literally, I remember sitting
here thinking, watching that
200
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,480
game because we were all part of
it.
201
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,400
I guess that's the worst snap
I've ever seen.
202
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,200
Had a gas snap that bad like
that, that won't like a bad
203
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,640
snap.
That was literally the worst
204
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,040
snap maybe in the history of
football.
205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,400
So.
Yeah.
206
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,280
And there's no, there's no right
answer.
207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Obviously they're all
embarrassing.
208
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,200
I just.
Feel like Oh no, no, it's, it's
209
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,200
all the way you felt inside.
Yeah, like, I just, I feel like
210
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,280
there was a silver lining with
with last week's game.
211
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
In the sense that this is.
A This is a rebirth of hokey
212
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,680
football.
Well, I guess I guess for me too
213
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:28,960
is like great silver lining.
I don't trust these
214
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,400
motherfuckers to make the right
decision.
215
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,520
So I'm still on the fence.
I think that it's coming, but I
216
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,960
don't know, you know what I'm
saying?
217
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,320
I need to see the next the next
step.
218
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,440
So right now in my feeling is
that 25 What are we going to do?
219
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,880
We need to get rid of Pry.
We need to tell Wit that he
220
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
needs to go to Alaska.
Y'all see it right here.
221
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Right there.
Yes, that's what we need him far
222
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520
away from Blacksburg, VA.
He needs to get.
223
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,400
He looks so defeated, man.
Like I watched a little bit of a
224
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,680
press conference.
Well, you know.
225
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:03,840
What's about to happen?
You know what's about that?
226
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Yeah, he looked like he got
people standing outside his door
227
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,720
making sure he ain't wearing
Virginia Tech stuff.
228
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720
No, don't put that on, man.
Put your suit on.
229
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Don't let it be my room.
I I'm ready for him to go too.
230
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,680
So I've seen a couple of
comments occurred before you go
231
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,400
to the next John.
John Earl, my guy.
232
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,200
He post, he posted in the chat.
He said yeah.
233
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,600
So I don't know what that is.
What is that?
234
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,280
What happened?
Who said something?
235
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,080
Did I miss some in the press
conference?
236
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,280
I don't know.
It just said blaming the past
237
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
regime on the way out was wild
though.
238
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,960
I was trying to figure out what
happened.
239
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,480
I don't, yeah.
Let me know what the reference
240
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,600
is there, yeah.
What was the reference?
241
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,440
I might have.
John was on with this last week.
242
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,680
First of all, Bassmaster, you
right?
243
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Yeah, You you damn right.
We, we should not be in this
244
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400
situation.
Three different ones.
245
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Three different ones.
Yeah, he did snap it to you
246
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
there in the 750.
Yeah, I think, yeah, the Ralph's
247
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,560
tweet that got deleted, that's
what when when Ralph's kind of
248
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,440
blamed the prior regime and
everything.
249
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,360
All right, so let's keep moving
and I'm going to say something
250
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,640
real quick.
First of all, did you see the
251
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920
shirt I chose tonight?
Yep.
252
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,600
Yep, I'll wear this shirt
forever because that guy went to
253
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,600
the pharmacy.
He's like 2 guys.
254
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,800
It's a cool shirt.
It's a great looking shirt.
255
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,680
But here, so I want to read it
if if y'all hadn't seen it, the
256
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,520
the statement prior released
afterwards and basically I'm
257
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,200
already of verbatim here.
So basically on behalf of Amy
258
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,520
and our entire family, I want to
thank President Sands, what
259
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Virginia Tech community for
giving me the opportunity to
260
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,120
lead the program.
Coaching at Virginia Tech was an
261
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,560
incredible honor and incredible
chapter to the outstanding young
262
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,680
men.
Ya ya, you'll get it.
263
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Here's the thing about Pry.
Where we, we, we said it.
264
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,120
We've said it over and over.
Genuinely, he gives a shit about
265
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,680
the program.
Genuinely, he is a good person.
266
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Like.
He's a good guy and and when you
267
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,840
read the statement, it's like
it, it wasn't like it was gone.
268
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,960
There was no statement.
He literally got the guy packed
269
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,320
up a statement they they put.
Out a statement.
270
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,040
And what did it say?
Lily almost said the exact same
271
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:25,840
thing.
I'm not even kidding.
272
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Like it was just verbatim.
Like thanks for everyone, but
273
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,640
put it on Twitter.
But but.
274
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,560
Let's let's, let's, let's get
this, let's unpack this for just
275
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,920
a second.
I don't want to all the time,
276
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,160
but just because Sheldon did hit
on it and I know a lot of
277
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,040
podcasts, people have been
talking about it.
278
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,760
One in particular, my guys not
going to call their names that
279
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,200
may not want me to, but they
know who they are, have been
280
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,680
hitting on it a lot because they
were big Fuente guys.
281
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,360
No problem.
Sure, I me myself, I'm not
282
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:06,400
comparing or blaming the regime
of Fuente for pry or vice versa,
283
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,440
but I can't say.
I did tweet on it and say they
284
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760
came in at a different time.
It was the program was in
285
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,119
different places when they
started.
286
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920
They were in different places.
The talent floor and ceiling
287
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,359
were in different places.
So I don't think that I want to
288
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,240
say that the right way and I've
been, I want y'all to tell me
289
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,160
what you think.
I don't think that we should
290
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,120
keep bringing up Fuente.
He's been gone.
291
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Pride hasn't messed up on his
own, but Fuente left.
292
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,600
People think he was a great
coach still, which is great for
293
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,200
him.
He left this program in a bad
294
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,360
position.
You know, Pride had a long way
295
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,600
to dig out of now.
Once he kind of got to a certain
296
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,400
position, he should have been
able to build off of that and he
297
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,360
couldn't.
You know, he doesn't have the
298
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:00,000
capacity to be a good coach.
You know, he may be a decent
299
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,440
salesman.
He may be a decent, decent
300
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,040
motivator, but he wasn't a good
head coach.
301
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,000
But for people to keep saying,
you know, oh, Fuente did this
302
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,120
and he was miles better and he
was just like, it still kind of
303
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:16,200
baffles me to think like it does
not negate all of the bad stuff
304
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,920
that he did.
He still wasn't, he still did
305
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,520
some bad stuff.
You know, he may have did some
306
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,960
good stuff, but he still did
some bad stuff in it.
307
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,160
Well, he did better than pride.
He still was like it's OK for
308
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,320
him to be better than pride and
still be bad.
309
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,800
So that's just my spill on it.
I'll let y'all take it and
310
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,240
unpack it there.
Well, let me let me put it to
311
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,240
both y'all this way now and I'll
since Shelton kind of tally got
312
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,040
us here.
I'll pitch to you is the program
313
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,160
as it stands and I'm talking all
aspects, is it better?
314
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,840
Is it any better state than it
was in 2021?
315
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,440
Provided that they can get some
new blood in there and and find
316
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,600
the right to lead them.
Yes, it is I, I actually think I
317
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,240
would argue the program was in a
really bad spot in 2020 or not a
318
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,840
great spot in 2021.
And I actually think that's the
319
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,080
reason we hired pride is because
we missed out on some of our our
320
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,080
better candidates because the
job was not perceived as a very
321
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,960
good job.
And I don't think and a lot of
322
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,520
that to be honestly, to be
honest was because of the
323
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,040
administration.
I think there were, there were
324
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,320
things that people knew in 2021
that they've not know in 2016 as
325
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,200
and that was how we were able to
hire Fuente.
326
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,640
So I think over time, the
perception of the tech job
327
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,640
became worse and worse.
Now I think hopefully if we get,
328
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,520
if we get the right people in
there, it can, it can become
329
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,280
much better.
Yeah, no, that's, that's good.
330
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,000
Good way to put it.
Infrastructure has has an
331
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,800
infrastructure should change
because of this.
332
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,760
It's got so bad that the people
up top have started being like,
333
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,480
you know what, this really is
bad.
334
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,240
We are going to have to do
something different.
335
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,440
So I agree with Shelton on that.
I think that then was a little
336
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,240
bit worse and that's why I
brought it up because I keep
337
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,800
seeing people trying to go back
to this, you know, let's go back
338
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,360
to four years and different
ones.
339
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,800
They leave it in a better plot.
Well, he won more games.
340
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,640
He had more talent.
Those first two years he had,
341
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,280
the four years he had extremely
mortality.
342
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,200
He got he got left with a a
better program.
343
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:20,000
You know, even with Frank being
at the end of his road and
344
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,560
couldn't continue coaching, he
still had the roster with a lot
345
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,920
of talent on it.
So we ain't got to get into all
346
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760
that.
I just keep seeing people pop up
347
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,880
and talk about all of that and
I'm just like, we have to for a
348
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,120
couple.
Reasons because a where you
349
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,680
begin your journey and then
where you leave it is a huge,
350
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,360
huge story in itself.
And again, I think Fuente really
351
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:46,840
good coach, but he didn't like
to recruit.
352
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,080
He didn't have the best people
skills.
353
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,320
We could see that.
That's the shit that as you get
354
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,960
deeper into your head coaching
career, you have to become
355
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,080
really good at.
It's not just coaching anymore.
356
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,560
That's the shit Prowl is good
at.
357
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,440
He unfortunately couldn't do the
other shit right.
358
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,480
And it sucks.
But if you ask me right now, and
359
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,680
I mean, we, we, we, we talked to
people who have connections
360
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,720
inside high schools.
Remember what some of the
361
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,120
stories were coming out.
They hadn't been here in
362
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:16,440
forever.
We hadn't heard from them.
363
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,640
They didn't come visit, they
didn't come check on us.
364
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,720
They didn't do shit where this
regime was a complete 180.
365
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:25,960
I think the next regime, whoever
it's going to be, the day they
366
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,920
walk into any of these schools
within the, I know the six hour
367
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,160
radius, but any big football
school that's in our footprint.
368
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520
People are going to know.
Oh, that's Virginia Tech.
369
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Oh, they, they've been here
three times already in the last
370
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,360
six months.
They're coming to see some.
371
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,960
And so they're coming.
The relationships are built.
372
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,240
They're not going to have to
recreate them.
373
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,000
They're going to be able to walk
in.
374
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520
I'll ask the question in a
little while and I, I think it's
375
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,600
going to be one that y'all
probably see coming, but they're
376
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,160
going to be able to walk in and
it's going to be a hell of a lot
377
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,760
easier to recruit and sell the
program to where it was at the
378
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,880
beginning or the end of 2021
into 2022.
379
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Sheldon, you said it a couple
times and we're going to kind of
380
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240
jump around a little bit just
based on what you said, because
381
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,640
it is, I think somebody's made
new people have said if you
382
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,920
watch the presser, it was clear
with defeated, it's likely going
383
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,120
to be a full structure in the
athletic department.
384
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,600
The fire, he didn't even get the
fire prop.
385
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,200
He didn't even get to send the
memo out as Tim Sands has sent
386
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,800
the memo out.
Shelton.
387
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,680
How deep does it need to go?
You said earlier to the ground.
388
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Is it all the way to the ground?
I think so.
389
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,360
I think a couple things.
Obviously you're going to get
390
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:49,440
into AD and with a new, when a
new AD comes in, you're going to
391
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,080
get in your new senior
administrator.
392
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320
So if you go on the, if you go
on the staff director on
393
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,240
hokiesports.com, you can see all
the senior level administrators.
394
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,320
Those are, you know, your sport
admins, your your directors,
395
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,560
your, you know, chief financial
officers, etcetera, etcetera,
396
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,240
that all sort of, you know, make
the kind of run the show.
397
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,880
A lot of those people have have
been there for, you know, some
398
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,200
10 to 15 years.
And so I really think it's time
399
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,040
to get some new blood in there.
That's it.
400
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,400
They're all bad or anything like
that.
401
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,760
But when you've consistently
underperformed and you know,
402
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520
you're you're falling behind in
the money game, I think it might
403
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,560
be time for some, so for some
outside ideas.
404
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,000
So I think they'll go on that.
They also think they need to
405
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,280
restructure the Hoagie Club, you
know, get more staffing, new
406
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,840
leadership, more resources,
someone that's, you know, has,
407
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,600
has, you know, fundraising
experience, ideally at a Power 4
408
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,240
level.
So I'd say between Hoagie Club
409
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,160
and the the internal
administration, I, I think
410
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,120
everything needs to be
completely restructured.
411
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Now.
Tally anything you want to add
412
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,920
on that because I'm about to
throw the next one which I think
413
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520
you will jump on.
It is just.
414
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,880
Real quick, I'll say it then let
you throw it on.
415
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,600
I'm not a politics guy by no
means.
416
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,680
I just feel like when you are in
a place too long similar to
417
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,280
politics, it's time to change.
Eight years, you need to go, you
418
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,320
know what I'm saying?
You've been here too long.
419
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,720
Especially if you ain't doing
good.
420
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,680
Why are we still doing the same
thing man?
421
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,600
Let's change it up.
So Sheldon put it perfectly.
422
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560
Hey, I'm so glad Sheldon was
able to get on here because
423
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,280
y'all know I get on here and
start rambling.
424
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,040
I just, I just let my protege,
my young guy, just get on here,
425
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,440
kick it to y'all real quick and
then we go to the next thing.
426
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,560
So perfect, man, Perfect
Shelton.
427
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,280
Steers us in the right direction
a lot of times, Shelton, you
428
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,520
don't even know it, man.
You don't even know you.
429
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,080
You steers the right way.
But with that being said, we're
430
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,440
going to take it down to the
studs in everything that was
431
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:53,240
said yesterday.
Everything that was said
432
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,560
yesterday, it looks like they're
Sean.
433
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,640
It's going to go down to the
studs because we're basically
434
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,320
going to have a whole new
structure to the athletic
435
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,680
department.
There is going to be the
436
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,840
football with what sounds like
an NFL structure, which I am
437
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280
going to say is probably going
to be a general manager.
438
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,280
It's probably going to be
recruiting guys.
439
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,400
And then the other areas, this
is kind of caught my and even
440
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,400
though this isn't football more
of a corporate structure for the
441
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,760
rest of the athletics
department.
442
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,400
We, we, we talked about it for
years here, Mom and pop shop,
443
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,520
mom and pop shop it.
It's gotten a little bit better,
444
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,000
but it sounds like.
Likely with everything.
445
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720
The BOV is going to do in the
next few weeks.
446
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,520
It is going to look inside and
out.
447
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,480
Now I'll pitch this to y'all.
What do y'all do Y'all think for
448
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,200
school?
Like Virginia Tech, even though
449
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800
we're not the biggest, is a NFL
GM type model where it's going
450
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,040
to be AGM?
My assumption is the GM, whoever
451
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,560
that gets hired as is probably
going to make decisions on the
452
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,560
coaches.
Is that OK?
453
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,160
Is that going to work for us?
I mean, I feel like you got.
454
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080
To have something like that, I
don't know the term, but or the
455
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,000
the name that you put on it, you
know, you don't want to just
456
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,880
throw money to somebody who's
not doing nothing.
457
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,600
But similar to what Sheldon
said, you got to have somebody
458
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,720
who knows football.
And I come from the sales world
459
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280
and the marketing world.
I just feel like our marketing
460
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,360
has been horrible.
I mean, I feel like that our
461
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,800
social media stuff has gotten
better as far as pictures and
462
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,240
videos, but I feel like the
marketing that we've been doing
463
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,320
has been horrible.
Like, I just feel like, don't
464
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,240
kill me, everybody.
I'm tired of hearing about a
465
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,480
game that we lost 25 years ago.
I'm tired of it.
466
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,320
You know what I'm saying?
If you want to talk about
467
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,720
something, let's go talk about
Clemson.
468
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Show the replay of Clemson when
we lost in 2016 in the ACC
469
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,120
Championship.
That's closer to us being
470
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,360
relevant than 25 years ago
losing the Florida State.
471
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,520
Like, I'm tired of keep bringing
this team back.
472
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,880
I'm tired of keep bringing this
up.
473
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Like our marketing team keeps
wanting to build around that and
474
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,240
the people that's higher up want
to keep building on that.
475
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,400
Let it go.
Like we it's over.
476
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,560
We didn't even have social media
back then.
477
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,680
Like I'm almost 40, I'm old.
So if they older than me, they
478
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,480
fucking old, you know what I'm
saying?
479
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,760
Like quit telling me about
nostalgia and bring me into the
480
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,920
new generation, Shelton's
generation.
481
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,200
They want to see quick tik toks.
We want to see people, you know,
482
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,160
scoring and dancing.
We want to see some different
483
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,480
shit.
I want to see winning.
484
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,840
You know, most people want to
see winning.
485
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,440
But I'm tired of hearing about
what we used to do in yesteryear
486
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,080
and all of that bullshit.
Like we need somebody to come in
487
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,880
and go, hey, I've been around
football right now and this is
488
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800
how it's being played.
This is how you have to attack
489
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560
NIL.
It's not the same way as it used
490
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,160
to be, you know?
So I think that you do have to
491
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,800
have some people to do things
like that and know things like
492
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,320
that.
I don't know who it is, you know
493
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,520
what I'm saying, But me myself,
I wanted to be somebody
494
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,480
different.
I want to, I don't want to get
495
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,720
rid of Beamer as far as like
Frank Beamer is always going to
496
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,320
be Virginia Tech.
But I'm tired of hearing about
497
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,960
Frank Beamer every game.
But we don't have anything else
498
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,080
to talk about.
Tired of hearing about pride.
499
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,920
Used to be here when Beamer was
here, like it was cool at first.
500
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,120
It ain't work.
Time to go.
501
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,440
And to be honest with you, I'm
going to give Fuente some kudos.
502
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,400
I think that's why he was like,
he was.
503
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240
I think he was tired of it too,
because they talked about things
504
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,120
he said at practice when he
talked about I'm tired of
505
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,120
hearing about Virginia.
I'm tired of this.
506
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:32,120
I think he was just like.
We have a.
507
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:35,120
This is.
A losing program, like our
508
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,000
biggest game was a loss, you
know what I'm saying?
509
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Our biggest game ever was a
loss, and that's all we keep
510
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
talking about.
So I'm tired of hearing about
511
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,120
it, so I'm going to just do
something totally different.
512
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
But when he came in, everything
was force fed to him.
513
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,360
He had a he had ADC that he had
to keep.
514
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,320
That was a Virginia.
Tech guy, you know, he had
515
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,400
coaches that he had to keep.
Then he had to hire a new DC who
516
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,760
was a Virginia Tech guy and was
a loser, you know, not a loser
517
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,280
person.
But I'm talking about on the
518
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,240
field.
So I just think that he probably
519
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,600
got tired of the 25.
Put it in the rafters, put it on
520
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,080
some shirts.
I'm tired of hearing about the
521
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,880
25.
The lunch bell.
522
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,520
It's not the same.
If it's not the same, stop
523
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,640
trying to make it that, you know
what I'm saying?
524
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,760
You can still talk about
traditions, but create new ones.
525
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,520
So I'm ready for all that at the
end, man.
526
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,360
I'm ready for somebody to come
in and say, hey man, I really
527
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,440
respect what's been built here.
I want to build on this legacy.
528
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,960
But I think this is the way that
we can do that and then let's go
529
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,600
do this here.
Half strippers on the sideline.
530
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,800
I don't know what the fix is.
Y'all want to ask me?
531
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,880
I know somebody's going to
message me and say, well what do
532
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,840
we need to do?
Because you say get rid of sad
533
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,680
man Yeah, get rid of it.
In my opinion, if that's going
534
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,120
to help us to, like, go into the
next stage, sure, do it for big
535
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,360
games.
Do it when we get in prime time,
536
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,080
like, do something different.
Because what we keep doing is
537
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,840
showing up, jumping, getting
beat down, leaving at halftime.
538
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,600
Tired of that.
So that's my rant for right now.
539
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,480
I'm going to throw it back to
you, Curtis.
540
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520
Well, I'm going to give Sheldon.
'S opinion on this Sheldon, do
541
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680
you like what's likely going to
be the new model I?
542
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:11,760
Don't think they really have a
choice.
543
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,680
I think that's going to every
every team.
544
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,280
You know, I was I was thinking
about this today.
545
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,320
During the the mid twenty 10s,
there was a shift towards hiring
546
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,200
the sort of CEO type head
coaches like Davos Sweeney that
547
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,800
kind of, you know, aren't aren't
as involved as in the X and OS,
548
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,040
but they kind of manage the
program.
549
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,720
They do fundraising, schmooze,
schmooze with donors, all that
550
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,160
stuff.
And that's obviously what, you
551
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,800
know, kind of got Vt in trouble
with Fuente is that he was good
552
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,720
at the X and OS, but wasn't so
much suited for the more, you
553
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,000
know, the more modern climate.
Now, I think because of how much
554
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,440
responsibility coaches had to
take, they're shifting the role
555
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,920
of the finance part of it to the
GM.
556
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,320
So now I think we're going to
see a shift more back towards
557
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,960
the XS and those coaches rather
than the CEO type, which means
558
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,400
that obviously Tech needs to
focus number one on getting a
559
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,000
coach that can absolutely
maximize his talent.
560
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:05,120
So I do, I do, I do want to see
the, the business and finance
561
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,760
aspect kind of shifted towards
the more managerial side, like
562
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,600
AGM, director of player
personnel, etcetera, etcetera.
563
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200
But they, they need to be actual
football people.
564
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,360
Like this cannot be, you know,
like, you know, tenured
565
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,400
administrators within the
athletic department.
566
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,360
It has to be actual hired
football people who have
567
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,280
football knowledge and, and
knowledge of business and, and,
568
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,720
and both of those things
together.
569
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,960
We need to hire actual
experienced people.
570
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,320
So yeah.
No, no, no, I think that's
571
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,960
that's the way.
Great way to look at it.
572
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,600
Shelter.
Now, can your coach still be a
573
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,520
stick when it comes to talking
to kids?
574
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,840
No, but I think you're making a
great point as far as they won't
575
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,760
need to do it all anymore.
The GM can find you can have
576
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,960
people lay down the foundation
of the recruiting of going out,
577
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,240
making the insurance and outs in
the schools and basically tally
578
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,760
you go back to the sales thing
is there sometimes in certain
579
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,400
businesses, there's different
levels and effectively you got a
580
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,040
closer coach is still going to
be closer.
581
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,080
Because if you got the coach
who's a good exiting O's guy and
582
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,840
he can just close the deals,
then that's that's what you're
583
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,560
looking for.
You can do X's and O's and when
584
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,720
you need to step in the room to
close the deal, you know what to
585
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,360
say to the kid because you know
what you've done the X's and O's
586
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,000
on the kid, right?
This is what takes this kid.
587
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,480
If I say this line right here,
he's going to come on board.
588
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,760
So I like the way it's going
because personally I think it's
589
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,000
easy to find those guys who can
do the GM type stuff.
590
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,640
It's harder to find the coaches.
Yes.
591
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,480
There are enigmas like Frank
Beamer who have it all, who have
592
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,440
the personality, who can recruit
but also has the XS and OS part
593
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,080
of his game on.
All right, let me flip over to
594
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:02,760
this real quick.
Back to pry because this is kind
595
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,280
of the way we go.
I had some set up but this is
596
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,480
how we do it sometimes.
In tally we've we've.
597
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,800
Said it a number of times, but
he's been fired now.
598
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,880
What was his biggest issue?
What was his biggest problem in
599
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,880
the three years?
Three games prize the biggest.
600
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,880
Problem.
It was his biggest problem.
601
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120
He couldn't finish.
He couldn't finish the game.
602
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,680
He couldn't find a way to win.
He.
603
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Couldn't finish.
You could say that it's so hard
604
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,760
because like I feel like it kind
of goes into everything, but
605
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320
mainly couldn't finish games
couldn't finish with big
606
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,360
recruit.
You know that has other stuff in
607
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,800
there, but I just couldn't
finish man.
608
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,320
I mean, OK, makes sense I.
Mean you won, you won in 12 in
609
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,040
one score games.
It's truthful, yeah.
610
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,920
It's just.
And I hate it because I think
611
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,360
that he's a he's a decent guy.
I don't want to just sit here
612
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,400
and bag on the dude, But I mean,
you couldn't win, brother.
613
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,000
You know, I hope you you're
rich.
614
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,280
So you go go ahead and do
whatever you want to do.
615
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,840
I'm sure he's he'll get another
job somewhere, probably
616
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,000
defensive coordinator or
something.
617
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,840
But he just was not a good head
coach.
618
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,159
And I think it was mainly
because of his closing skills.
619
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:18,639
Curtis closing.
Skills, Sean, what about you?
620
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,320
Yeah, I agree.
I would say just by far and away
621
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,639
the biggest issue was the in
game coaching and game
622
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:28,320
management.
You know, I think it was just
623
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,040
completely atrocious.
You know, I, I thought I have
624
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,520
some, some minor quibbles with
recruiting and roster
625
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,480
management, but I thought for
the most part, you know,
626
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,320
probably was OK there.
I just think he absolutely could
627
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,600
not, could not get the most out
of his talent.
628
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,440
And you know, some of it was
development.
629
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,719
Again, we don't know because
we're not exactly, you know, in
630
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,600
the room, but I just think when
you I, I remember arguing this
631
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,440
actually of last year when pry
get rid of those 4 assistants.
632
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,199
Obviously Marv, you know, the
strength coach, coach Crook.
633
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,920
And I think there was, I think
there's one other we I, I didn't
634
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,240
have an issue with getting rid
of the assistants.
635
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,960
I think we all know that they
needed to go and, and, and, you
636
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,360
know, the tech obviously could
have upgraded there, but I I
637
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,080
felt like.
Getting rid of assistance if.
638
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,880
It was not the end all be all.
I think it was a it was still
639
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,520
fundamentally a head coach
problem because we've seen tech,
640
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,360
you know, if your if your
assistants are good enough to
641
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,120
keep you in close games against
good teams and you can never
642
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,800
finish them, brother, that's AU
problem.
643
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,200
And yeah, Coach.
Flintage excuse.
644
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Me probably just could never get
over that like he could just
645
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,720
could not get over that close
game hump.
646
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,200
And, and you see now, you know,
you bring in 50 new kids, 30
647
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,040
transfers, you know, you don't
know how good these guys are
648
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,480
'cause, you know, you're trying
to desperately win games.
649
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,720
And it just, you know, they,
they, they faced adversity and
650
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:50,480
they couldn't handle it.
And they just completely quit on
651
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,840
them.
And so I think it was just kind
652
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,880
of a cascade of, you know, the,
the, the series of, of loss that
653
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,600
we suffered from last year and
just how that kind of affected
654
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,080
the program.
So, yeah, it was just just in
655
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,120
game coaching acumen, attention
to detail was just abysmal.
656
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,520
I thought.
I think that was the biggest
657
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,920
thing more than recruiting here,
certainly.
658
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,880
All right, Curtis.
Curtis, now before you go into
659
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,440
yours, I know you're going to
bring us home.
660
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,200
I want the dress.
That's Phil, right?
661
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,400
That's Phil.
Yeah, well, Phil on.
662
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,240
That what what he says.
I bet they keep money on one
663
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:24,000
more year since the next since
next year's schedule is trash.
664
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,400
No they ain't.
That's not having to Phil.
665
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,120
Phil, you need to go up there
and tell them who you are and
666
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,320
tell them you are moments on the
Mori and you will not stand for
667
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,360
that.
But honestly, you know I'm going
668
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,320
to do it in Alabama.
I don't know nothing, but I've
669
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,720
heard enough to know they
understand that can't happen
670
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,480
like we.
We can't be here.
671
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,960
Like Jason said, he's going to
be here in 2026.
672
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,080
Wit can't be here at the end of
this year.
673
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,200
Wit can't be there.
They're.
674
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,760
Not going to, you know, put till
Teal's been saying a lot of
675
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,000
stuff.
He may be right, but I think
676
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,400
he's wrong.
Like wit's not going to be here
677
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,640
and they're going to they're
going to have to hire a coach.
678
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,200
They're they're not going to be
able to do that.
679
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,840
But the other thing.
Is this if we're going to a new
680
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,400
model, which is not going to be
over football anymore, the GM
681
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,360
will be over football.
So if he's here, he ain't
682
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,160
touching football.
Here's my issue, the biggest
683
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,760
issue of pride tally.
I thought you were going to go
684
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,960
to this and I'm glad you didn't.
He's too fucking loyal.
685
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,200
Too many people way too often.
His coaches, you know when he
686
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,960
when he made those hires of
bowling and Marv is like these
687
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,480
are too inexperienced guys, but
these are my guys.
688
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,880
Loyalty got him there.
Loyalty got him numerous times
689
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,760
when you were saying just bench
the guy.
690
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,520
It doesn't matter who you bring
out because you've said it.
691
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,600
I think we've all said it.
If you just bench the guy for
692
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,040
the rest of the game, at least
you get a point through his head
693
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,080
of I am not afraid to take you
off that field if you're bad.
694
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,080
And he just never could do it.
He never could do it
695
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,240
consistently to where we've seen
other coaches.
696
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,520
You ain't having a good game.
Go sit in.
697
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,360
Well, coach, I'm going to start.
I don't care.
698
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,640
Just sit down, go sit in the
corner and think about it.
699
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,440
If you're a starter, you're
going to play better and if
700
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,880
you're not going to play better,
you're not going to play
701
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,240
anymore.
And that was his.
702
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,880
I think that was his biggest
downfall.
703
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,320
I think if there were time, Ben
Bell ripped.
704
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,600
Somebody's helmet off and was
talking trash about how he
705
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,240
ripped the helmet off to him and
the quarterback was pointing to
706
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:27,440
the scoreboard and Pride just
looked at him like he was his
707
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,320
little brother and said, man,
you can't do that.
708
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,920
Like, no, that ain't that's not
what a head coach does.
709
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,400
He was definitely too loyal to
other coaches, too loyal to
710
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,560
players.
If that would have been a real
711
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,680
coach like you would have been
seeing him get in somebody's
712
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,920
ass.
Like, bro, you can't RIP the
713
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640
quarterback's helmet off.
Can't RIP nobody's helmet off,
714
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,720
but you RIP the quarterback's
helmet off by getting beat 28 to
715
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:50,520
0.
So oh, it's true.
716
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,160
It's.
Perfect, perfect.
717
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,720
Perfect way to put it, Curtis.
There you go.
718
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:57,560
Loyalty.
Loyalty will get you sometimes.
719
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,200
All right, let me ask y'all this
real quick now.
720
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,200
Right now we're in the 30 day
portal window.
721
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,840
Dante Lovett jumped in it as
quick as he could and then you
722
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,360
get 2026 Thomas Wilder
decommits.
723
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,800
Does any of that shit even
matter right now to y'all
724
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,400
Doesn't.
Matter to you, Somebody else
725
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,280
just be committed too.
I don't know, one of the kids
726
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,880
just be committed a few minutes
ago, maybe an hour ago or
727
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,280
something.
I will.
728
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,680
You know it doesn't.
Matter.
729
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Let me see who it was.
But it does it.
730
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,680
None of that matters because.
Don't kill me.
731
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,400
I'm not saying we getting this
person, but if they go hire
732
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,680
Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, does
it matter who decommitted or who
733
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,400
jumped in the portal?
Because who you bring in is
734
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,520
going to attract a certain crowd
anyway.
735
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,680
You know, even if you bring in
damn Mullen or you bring in Huff
736
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,440
or you bring in something.
John Group, whoever.
737
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,520
You bring in, yeah, whoever you
bring in is going to attract a
738
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,160
different crowd anyway.
So people decommitting or, you
739
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,080
know, people getting in the
portal, It, it's part of it, it
740
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,080
has to happen.
I I think we're in.
741
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,480
An era too where it does not
matter as much anymore, right?
742
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,000
With the portal, with so much
movement.
743
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,440
And I think that you was always
an issue.
744
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,040
Like, how many times did people
say you you got to hold on to
745
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,920
the recruiting class?
Yeah.
746
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,200
And now you kind of think back
like that might have been the
747
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,160
dumbest damn thing ever because
what if they don't fit what you
748
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,080
do?
All you're doing is getting
749
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,640
bodies.
You don't need bodies.
750
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,920
You need people that can play
football and in your style of
751
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,440
football.
So all right.
752
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,040
So we it doesn't matter.
Tally's trying to effort.
753
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,240
Sorry I I had not been on SO
KJKJ.
754
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,480
Gillespie.
Cameron.
755
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,760
Gillespie, that's the big kid.
From the big D tackle down in
756
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,800
North Carolina, right?
Yes, all right.
757
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,400
Oh, he's a defensive.
End linebacker.
758
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:57,160
Yeah, yeah.
OK, so it to me they don't
759
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,480
matter anymore because I know
some people I heard in in y'all
760
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,360
mind I've seen this Saturday
night.
761
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,480
Do they want to wait a couple
weeks and make sure these guys
762
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,120
can't Portland, Who gives a
shit?
763
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:11,560
Who cares?
Because if, if they're going to
764
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,960
leave, they'll leave in
December.
765
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,880
Yeah, you got to let the kid.
Do what's what they going to do
766
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,080
for themselves, you know what
I'm saying?
767
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,160
Like they got to try to find
somewhere to go.
768
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,960
They understand it's going to be
a new regime coming in and they
769
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,840
may not, you know, they may not
jive with them.
770
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,680
You know, you see that happen
all the time.
771
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,120
They're going to want to bring
certain kids in.
772
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,960
They're going to want to bring
kids to fit their their style
773
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,240
and what they do.
So I don't I don't that's part
774
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:37,320
of what happens.
A kid is going to get in the
775
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,400
portal to try to find a better
spot for himself.
776
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,960
To me it's actually.
Really good because you get to
777
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,680
make a choice because by all
means Dante Levitt jumped in
778
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,000
great, that's his choice.
Now what would suck is if they
779
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,560
bring in some stud defensive
coach, man, only go play for
780
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,480
them.
Homie, you got in the portal the
781
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,400
day you could, first day you
could.
782
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,480
And now you go, you have to walk
into that office and be like,
783
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,720
hey, I'd like to play here.
Like dude, you left day one,
784
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,840
right?
That's the choice you.
785
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:13,240
Make again, these are 18 to 23
year old guys and some people
786
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:14,680
say well, you can't let them
make No, let them.
787
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
This is how you learn.
It's how you learn things in
788
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,800
life.
You make a choice.
789
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,440
It is it is completely on him
now.
790
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:24,080
So I really for Dante, I really
hope they don't bring in some
791
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,440
stud corner coach to hope they
do.
792
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,720
I don't need him, but we need
it.
793
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,560
He wants it all.
Right.
794
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,480
Let me ask you all this, just
just in general, because some
795
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,320
people are saying this team has
no talent.
796
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,960
I don't believe that.
I think there's some talented
797
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,880
people on this team that can
play.
798
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,240
Do y'all think this team is is
talentless?
799
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,320
No, I don't think we're.
Talentless, I think we have some
800
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,000
talent.
We don't have a we're not super
801
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,800
deep.
We don't have a lot of talent.
802
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:01,800
I mean, it's it's been showing,
but a lot of that talent that
803
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,280
may be there, we can't see
because we don't have people who
804
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,600
do how to coach them because it
seems like everybody who leaves
805
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,440
is getting better because
they're going to get real
806
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,880
coaching and then they're doing
better.
807
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,240
So people who are on the roster
are talented.
808
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:18,960
But you know, is it is it the
coaching that the reason that
809
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,480
they aren't reaching their their
ceiling?
810
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,600
Who knows?
You know, Andretti said it no
811
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,520
heart.
You're playing with no heart.
812
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,120
I've seen, I've seen and again,
I said this before and I'm not
813
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,000
pointing any kid out.
I'm pointing this kid out but.
814
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,800
I seen.
Jaden Keller go up in the hole
815
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,360
and hit OD us running back and
get threw off when he outweighs
816
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,680
him.
Probably about 30 lbs got
817
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,160
through to the side and they get
the the running back runs for
818
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,320
about four yards sometimes.
That doesn't have to do with who
819
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,840
low man wins.
That doesn't have to do with how
820
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,960
strong you are.
That kid just wanted it more
821
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,200
than we did.
That team wanted it more than
822
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,280
us, you know, when you were able
to get four and five yards,
823
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,520
Basil Tooten did it all the
time, you know, so.
824
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,800
I don't know man.
It's just, you know, yeah,
825
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,800
somebody said Kyron sliding
before the 1st down.
826
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,960
He he never, I've never seen him
slide.
827
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,360
Even when he when he dives, he
goes head 1st and I'm like, why
828
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,080
are you diving?
Why are you going head first,
829
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,480
man?
You know, sometimes you got to
830
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,360
get out of bounds and sometimes
you got to not take a hit.
831
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,240
He slid not even thinking about
getting the first down.
832
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,360
That's just no heart, man.
You know, that was a team that's
833
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,840
done.
That was for whatever reason, a
834
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,600
coach that's done, a team that's
done.
835
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,840
There's no heart on that team.
So it don't matter if you Got
836
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,960
Talent OR not.
I think we Got Talent.
837
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,920
I think we have no, no, no
heart.
838
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,560
I I think the most.
Jarring thing for me was just to
839
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,960
see the the quit level, like,
you know, to the point where
840
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,360
like if I'm a player in that
locker room, like, dude, are you
841
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,760
kidding me?
Like you, you, you, you So what,
842
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,000
like you give a couple
touchdowns at Vanderbilt and
843
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,240
then you just completely
implode.
844
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:04,880
Like if I'm a leader in that
locker room thinking like, you
845
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,400
know, kind of like what what
Rick Pitino has said in that,
846
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,720
that, that that halftime
speeches, like who raised you?
847
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:13,080
Like you got to be able to deal
with adversity better than that.
848
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,080
So I don't know, man, I I think
we've got some talent.
849
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,000
Like I think that D lines got
some dogs, you know, I think
850
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,200
we've got some good running
backs, receivers I think have
851
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,120
some potential Current to me has
just kind of been an enigma.
852
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,160
Like I feel like he's kind of
his temperature is kind of
853
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,760
whatever the temperature of the
team is.
854
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,120
It's just really up and down.
So I don't know, it's just,
855
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,600
it's, it's hard to, it's hard to
evaluate when, you know, you
856
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,320
just have a team that just does
not have any sort of resiliency.
857
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,040
And the moment that they, they
face adversity, they just hold
858
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,000
like, you know, I think they
could, they could play better if
859
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,920
maybe they, you know, we're,
we're better coach and they,
860
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,720
they were, you know, more
passionate about, you know, the
861
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:57,880
product they put on the field
and they took pride in playing
862
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,120
for Vt and, you know, playing
for each other, but we just
863
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,800
haven't really seen that.
So it's just it's just hard to
864
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,160
say when you have the when you
have those, you know, external,
865
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,920
those external factors kind of
playing, playing, playing right
866
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,920
now a team full.
Of thermometers, everybody's
867
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,800
gauging the temperature and and
let there be no thermostats.
868
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,080
Ain't nobody changing the
temperature on that day.
869
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,920
I'm telling man, that's bars.
That's bars.
870
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,400
That is that.
Is bars man.
871
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,760
Respect on that tally.
Well, well somebody has been
872
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,840
charged with doing that for the
rest of this season and that is
873
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,000
going to be Philip Montgomery's
going to be the interim coach
874
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,200
and a a lot of people are like
why not JC maybe get Fontelle a
875
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,920
chance in tell you led last time
Shelton, in your opinion,
876
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,000
Shelton made a switch here.
The computer died.
877
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,440
Is it the right move?
Is it?
878
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,600
Yeah, take your time.
It is the right move I.
879
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,720
Think, you know, obviously JC is
very well respected by the Hokie
880
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:05,640
community, rightfully so, but I
think Monty's just got kind of
881
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,120
got that built in head coach
experience.
882
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,240
So you could tell, you know, at,
at his press conference
883
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,520
yesterday, he, he, he seemed to
be, you know, taking a very
884
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,080
active leadership role in the
same, you know, we're looking at
885
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,920
changing some things, changing
the tempo practice, which I, I
886
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,600
really like.
Apparently, you know, the guys
887
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,040
are playing pretty slow recently
practicing, I guess maybe some
888
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,560
of that was because they were
banged up a little bit.
889
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,440
But I mean, he's got several
years of head coaching
890
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,000
experience.
I think he's kind of guy that
891
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,960
you want leading in your program
right now in, in these difficult
892
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,480
times.
The thing with JC is like, OK,
893
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,560
we all know he's a Hokie legend,
but you know, do we really want
894
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,280
him to, you know, have his have
his legacy be potentially
895
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,680
tarnished if this team goes, you
know, 3 and 9 and and how does
896
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,080
how does he respond if, if they
do start losing like that, like
897
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,920
1 and 11?
True.
898
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,960
Yeah, that too.
So, so how is he he able to, you
899
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,800
know, route the troops in that
situation?
900
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,360
I, I think, I think I, I trust
Monty's instincts and I feel
901
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,240
like he's the supreme adults in
the room that kind of get these
902
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,280
guys together and hopefully win
a couple of games.
903
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,320
I know we're not going to win
many, but hopefully we can win a
904
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,880
couple and win the last one too.
No, I agree.
905
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,440
I.
Think that, you know, that's the
906
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:10,640
right move.
You don't want to be in this
907
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,120
situation, but here we are.
And Montgomery probably is.
908
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,160
Is, is the guy who out of the
coaching staff is the closest to
909
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,640
being a head coach somewhere
else, You know, so he's going to
910
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,760
probably take it.
I'm not saying the other coaches
911
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,080
won't take it serious.
He's probably going to take it
912
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,080
the most serious and try to
build something to to get
913
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,480
somewhere else, you know, to to
go to his next stop.
914
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,320
JC.
He went down to the, you know,
915
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,920
in the UVA game and he won that
and, you know, was emotional.
916
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,040
And then this is my home.
This is that's what you want to
917
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,600
remember him as you know what
I'm saying?
918
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,520
You don't want him to remember
him for what?
919
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,440
What this bullshit that's going
to go on this year.
920
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,800
I'm going to tell you right now
we about to get curb stopped by
921
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,240
some of these teams.
I ain't going to I don't even
922
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,320
want I'm going to have to watch.
You know what I'm saying?
923
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:02,800
I got to go through it, but it's
going to be bad man all.
924
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,120
Right.
We'll give you all my opinion on
925
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,240
this because it's a logical 1.
In 2021 when everything
926
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:13,360
happened, a we had 2D line
coaches.
927
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,000
That was the one big thing.
That's why you could let JC do
928
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,280
it.
But it was for a three-game
929
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,400
stretch.
And at that point in time the
930
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,680
team was, I believe, four and
six, right?
931
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,880
Four and six or five and six,
five and five.
932
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,440
The team, it wasn't downtrodden
like this.
933
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,040
You needed an emotional jolt to
that team.
934
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,480
You got it.
They went.
935
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,800
They banged with Miami for 3/4.
They ended up losing.
936
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,000
They beat UVA next week.
You needed the JC price.
937
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,560
You needed the emotional leader.
It's nine games.
938
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,280
Emotion is not going to get you
through nine games.
939
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,080
It might get you 2 through a
three.
940
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,000
But Montgomery?
Eight years at Tulsa.
941
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,400
He's been a head coach eight
years.
942
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,120
That's what you need.
You need.
943
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,360
Someone with structure, like you
said, Shelton, you made a
944
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,080
perfect point.
He's already talking about we
945
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,560
might need to do some things
different.
946
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,760
And the thing that really always
caught my ear, this, I know his
947
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,880
head coach speak and tell these
guys, listen, it ain't over yet.
948
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,200
We're three games in.
You can write your story, right?
949
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,640
Trying to get that buy in back
from him to say, yeah, you got
950
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,640
in the shit kicked out of you
the first three weeks of the
951
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,960
season.
We got 9 left.
952
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,240
You go back and do something
stupid like win 5 or 6 games,
953
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,000
think what you're going to be,
think of people how will think
954
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,600
how people will think of you,
how the next coach will think of
955
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,120
you, how going through the
portal and look at my tape.
956
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,560
I didn't quit, I fought back.
I tried everything I could.
957
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:43,880
It might get you the extra
30,000 on the NIL deal next
958
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,160
year.
So I mean.
959
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,440
It's.
Yeah, you audition, you go out
960
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:53,080
there and you bust your ass.
So I'm, I'm with y'all.
961
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,920
It's the right move.
I think there's no chance in
962
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,240
hell he is a full time coach and
if somebody put that in there, I
963
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:02,160
think Phil fucking with us,
there's no way he's going to be
964
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,320
the head coach unless he does
something really stupid.
965
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,120
There's only. 1.
If he goes not in, no.
966
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,520
Man, I'd I'd fucking consider
I'm.
967
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,560
Taking not a no going to the ACC
Championship.
968
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,920
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if he did that, I mean, if
969
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,120
he if he does that, you got to
give him something, right?
970
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,240
But I don't see that.
I don't see that either.
971
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:20,240
I.
Don't see that but.
972
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:22,640
If it does, you know, crazy
things have happened.
973
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:27,920
If he somehow just goes on a run
and we are in contention for the
974
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:32,160
the ACC, I'd be like damn, you
know, maybe this is the guy was
975
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,840
here.
They they hired they hired the
976
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,760
right head coach.
They just didn't put him in the
977
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,160
right spot the year before or
the year up.
978
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,280
Let's get to this real quick.
Sheldon, I know you're running
979
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,480
low on battery.
We we we ain't got too much more
980
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,040
to go here before we hit all my
predictions and then big screens
981
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,160
and we'll wrap her up.
So not the longest episode
982
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,920
tonight, because it's Wofford
and God damn it, we better be
983
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,520
Wofford.
But.
984
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,160
What are your?
Expectations for this team.
985
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,200
There's nine games left Starfoot
Wofford this week.
986
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,800
Wofford State Wake, Georgia
Tech.
987
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,040
Cal.
Louisville, Florida State.
988
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,480
Miami, Virginia.
What are your?
989
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,920
Expectations.
Well, I can tell you.
990
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,240
They're not very high.
I was looking at some of the
991
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:24,320
numbers from SP Plus right now
our our win projection is 3 and
992
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,080
9.
So not ideal.
993
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,440
We don't know where there's
where those two wins are going
994
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,840
to come from.
There's two FBS wins.
995
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:35,040
But I would say from a holistic
perspective, like just show some
996
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,640
compete level, like show that
you care about, about the
997
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,600
program and about, you know,
playing with that Virginia Tech
998
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,760
in your chest.
And, you know, like I said,
999
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,280
playing for the guys, playing
for the coaching staff and the,
1000
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,600
and the guys that are, you know,
next to in the trenches.
1001
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,120
I just think like I, I certainly
think they're more talented than
1002
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,680
what they've shown.
Now how much better again, we'll
1003
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,400
see, but I don't, I don't want
them to to just look at this
1004
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,440
season like a waste.
Like we're we're all paying for
1005
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,640
this product, man.
Like we are technically we are
1006
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,960
paying your salaries.
We are paying for if you are a
1007
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,720
donor, if you're a donor, you
are paying for these guys
1008
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:08,000
salaries.
So if I'm going to check out, I
1009
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,800
think does a disservice to donor
ticket purchaser.
1010
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,960
Right to the.
Institution so just just show
1011
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,240
that you care and just go out
there and win some games, man.
1012
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:17,920
Like, don't, don't worry about
the outcomes because we know
1013
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:19,760
this team probably isn't going
to go a ball game, man.
1014
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,280
Just play for pride, all right?
Look who is pride?
1015
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,360
Not pride, just so y'all know.
Correct.
1016
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,360
Yes.
All right, Tally, I'm going.
1017
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,000
To bring somebody's joining us
here.
1018
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,080
Look who?
Look who's taking a little
1019
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,120
sabbatical from his vacation.
This dude.
1020
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:41,080
This dude is dedicated.
Look at this dude man.
1021
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,320
Y'all don't know Brian is on
vacation right now.
1022
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,040
He has decided to pop in.
I can't tell if he's drunk or
1023
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,560
high or neither or just how.
In life, all of them I don't.
1024
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,880
Know no, I'm I'm exhausted is
what I am, but I'm here.
1025
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,640
What's up guys?
Probably got fired.
1026
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,600
Probably got fired.
It's crazy.
1027
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:01,240
Phil.
Phil.
1028
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,920
Phil thinks that.
The AD is going.
1029
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:10,200
To be here in 2026 and Monty's
going to be the coach in 2026,
1030
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,000
just for a year.
So I need you to call Phil and
1031
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,040
get him right.
I know at least one of.
1032
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:17,920
Those is probably not going to
be true, so.
1033
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,360
We'll see what happens with the
other one.
1034
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,880
If we win nine in a row,
whatever, whatever y'all were
1035
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,480
talking about, then somebody
said it's.
1036
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,200
Brian with pry.
It's Brian with Pry.
1037
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:34,080
I've not seen pry in.
Orlando I can I can that I have
1038
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,800
not seen pry in Orlando.
Oh man.
1039
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,640
Well, Brian, let me.
Let me pitch to you.
1040
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:44,600
What's your expectation?
For the rest of the season, 9
1041
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:51,160
games left.
If we win two more than the
1042
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,000
Wofford game, I would be
surprised.
1043
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,600
So give me, I think 3 is kind of
my that that's my over underline
1044
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:02,200
three 3 1/2 would be kind of
where I'm putting the the wins
1045
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,480
for the rest of the year.
All right.
1046
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,240
Yeah, I'd say.
Three, you know, if if you get
1047
00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:10,200
3, three wins out of the the
rest of the games, I'd be like,
1048
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,880
OK, you know, not that we did
good, but it'd be probably
1049
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,200
exceeding my expectations from
now on because I'm never going
1050
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,600
to say we're going to lose the
to to UVA just because I don't
1051
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,520
think they know how to beat us.
It don't matter what's going on.
1052
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,720
They find a way to give us the
game, hopefully Wofford this
1053
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:31,240
week and then you mess around
and play somebody like a Wake
1054
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:35,120
Forest and luck up and win.
So I'm just looking at it like
1055
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,640
that, you know, three wins is
about what I expect.
1056
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,360
I'm counting here.
It's like somebody said like 2
1057
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,600
outside Wofford.
Wofford.
1058
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,160
I think we can beat Wake.
I think we'll be, I'm going to
1059
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,640
go forward.
I think they're going, they're
1060
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,200
going to fuck up somebody's
season.
1061
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,280
Probably and and hold on.
I don't know, let's let's
1062
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,120
discuss that for a second.
If it was one team season we
1063
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,440
could fuck up, who would y'all
want it to be?
1064
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,200
It's got to be who it.
Is it's got to be Miami for me,
1065
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,920
but Miami, yeah.
I would.
1066
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,440
I would definitely say Miami
ain't.
1067
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,600
Nobody.
But I don't think it's going to
1068
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,720
happen but.
I'm just saying like that's what
1069
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:15,800
we want, right?
Like it's going.
1070
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,200
To be.
Miami, man, it's got to be
1071
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,640
Miami, right?
They're going to come.
1072
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,040
Down here in November and it's
going to be like a 41�� rainy
1073
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,200
miserable day going fuck up the
snaps.
1074
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,120
We'll block a pun or something.
Then we go in like 2117.
1075
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:37,680
Yeah, it'd have to be it.
It would be Miami's destiny for
1076
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,400
something like that to happen.
11 and 10.
1077
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,560
And O coming in.
It's A2 win, Virginia.
1078
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,560
Tech team.
And we just.
1079
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,720
Ruin.
That whole season.
1080
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:54,760
All right, so let's roll on.
Is anybody not predicting to
1081
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,480
win?
Against Wofford.
1082
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,840
They're O and three, they're
literally the worst, I think the
1083
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,320
worst offense in the FCS right
now.
1084
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,920
If they ain't the worst, they're
pretty low.
1085
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,520
Let's just do like.
Let's just do, like Brian said
1086
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,720
last last week, we got to keep
predicting to lose because
1087
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:13,520
that's what they keep doing.
So let's just say everybody do
1088
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,840
it this week, you know, if they
lose this one.
1089
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,400
You got to just.
Send the whole athletic
1090
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,280
department to the moon, to the
to the.
1091
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:27,880
Moon all right, there we go.
So hey, it's the it's.
1092
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,480
The It's the Mike Young ball, by
the way.
1093
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,080
Oh yeah.
Young ball Walker.
1094
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,840
There we go.
That there's a program that's
1095
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,080
saying speaking my gun.
Can't wait for basketball
1096
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,760
season.
At least we've actually got some
1097
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,840
expectations there.
Do you think basketball?
1098
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,920
Is going to be good, Sheldon.
I think they'll be solid.
1099
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,280
They'll be a solid team.
Yeah, you do.
1100
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,000
OK, I.
Haven't worthy or bubble?
1101
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Worthy bubble.
Worthy.
1102
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:50,400
Bubble worthy.
I haven't.
1103
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,320
Paid attention.
At all.
1104
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,800
So I can't hate you.
Well, except the Greek.
1105
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,000
Kid, you've been paying
attention.
1106
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
I mean, everybody's been.
Talking about that.
1107
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,480
So yeah, you had to look at that
a little bit, but other than
1108
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,400
that, don't know nothing is is
Toby Lawal still on the team?
1109
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,640
Toby Lawal still on the.
Team OK, come back.
1110
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,240
OK, we might we.
Might have some excitement at
1111
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:08,680
least.
Hey, as of.
1112
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:13,600
Right now, our starting point
guard didn't get busted in a
1113
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:19,520
point shaving scandal.
Decided he wasn't.
1114
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,040
Going to play this year or you
know.
1115
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:22,640
Any other?
Thing that's.
1116
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:23,920
Happened the last five.
Years.
1117
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,520
I just went to mess that stuff.
All right, so we don't have the
1118
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,360
fun graphics this week, but
we're all predicting a win
1119
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,200
against Wofford and we don't
have the graphic.
1120
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,400
But I'm going to tell you what
for me, Brian and Tally last
1121
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,720
week, that kicked us in the
nuts.
1122
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,640
Me and Tally went O and four,
Brian went one and three.
1123
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,520
Shelton great job 500 for the
week on those games.
1124
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,440
Horrible.
It was.
1125
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,440
Horrible.
So currently right now, Shelton
1126
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,560
leads the way at six and six.
I'm at 5:00 and 7:00.
1127
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,320
Brian and Tally tied at 4:00 and
8:00 on the season.
1128
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:06,160
So don't don't bet with me.
Guys, don't bet.
1129
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,040
With Shelton, you'll break even.
There you go.
1130
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,280
You know what I'm I'm doing.
Pretty good picking these hokey
1131
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,640
games though.
We hope you're right this week
1132
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:18,040
Brian is 3 and O picking hokey
game this year.
1133
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,760
So we do have big screeners this
week and we were in the chat
1134
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:31,640
looking at Hey Phil.
I feel you, Phil.
1135
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,640
Tell, tell us which game.
That's what Phil's going to do.
1136
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,560
Phil is one of our sponsors
here.
1137
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,560
You tell us what to fade.
Who who are you fading as you
1138
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,360
listen to these?
But we were looking this is a
1139
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,920
good week of college football
legitimately like, like, you
1140
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,320
know, it's a lot of good games.
Nothing like, Oh my God, it's 2
1141
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:58,680
versus 3 or one versus 4, but a
lot of really good games.
1142
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:03,240
And I'll start it off here.
Let's go to Miami.
1143
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,280
It's Florida.
It's Miami.
1144
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,720
Miami laying 7 1/2.
For some reason, Billy Napier
1145
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,520
thought it was smart to let DJ
Lagway throw the ball 50 times
1146
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,200
in Death Valley.
That man, how he has not been
1147
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:21,440
fired, I do not know.
Miami is rolling the built to my
1148
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,880
city.
Crystal Ball got the trenches
1149
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,720
built.
They got a quarterback that's
1150
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,080
operating efficiently and I'm
all straight up say this.
1151
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:33,800
I think they hammer Florida.
I think they hammer Florida. 7
1152
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,280
1/2 is not enough.
Billy Napier is the next coach
1153
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,920
fired on Sunday morning after he
gets waxed down in South Beach.
1154
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,720
Crime man.
I'm going to go to the opposite.
1155
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,240
Of you, I think Florida keeps it
close.
1156
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,280
I think it's going to be a
Florida team that is motivated
1157
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,440
to do they cover them.
If you told me Miami was going,
1158
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,120
was still going to cover, I
think, I think.
1159
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,400
They're still going to cover,
but I think they're going to
1160
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,040
keep it close.
Is he?
1161
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:11,080
Fired they would be OK.
He keeps the fired regardless.
1162
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:16,320
Regardless, OK, Cali, Miami.
Miami.
1163
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,440
Napier win that.
Game he's fired.
1164
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,280
That's basically where I'm at
if.
1165
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,120
If Napier don't win, he's fired.
Well, him and Brent.
1166
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,960
Pride are going to be in Bahamas
together because he's not
1167
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:33,240
winning.
Yeah, I'm pulling.
1168
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,000
Up my.
I think you're going to say
1169
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,480
yeah.
I'm taking taking Miami.
1170
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,640
I thought that for a second.
I feel like Florida is probably
1171
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,520
due for, for a win, but like, I
also, I don't know, I, I feel
1172
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,120
like they're, they're going to
tank with Napier.
1173
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,200
I just I, I, I don't, I don't
get good vibes from that
1174
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,560
program.
So they quit.
1175
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,120
Yeah, I really like.
My Are they quitting Saturday?
1176
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:56,000
Night.
I think so too, I think.
1177
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,560
They're going to, I think
they're going to throw in the
1178
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:58,960
towels.
So I got Miami.
1179
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,360
Miami.
All right, tally you up next.
1180
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,560
What's your game, big guy?
My game.
1181
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,240
Was did I pick Auburn and
Oklahoma?
1182
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,480
You did.
And Oklahoma -7 1/2 my second
1183
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,720
favorite.
Team Auburn, you know, But guess
1184
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:16,960
what?
I think they're going to lose.
1185
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:23,960
I got I got Oklahoma, man.
I just think that Auburn, again,
1186
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,600
I do pay attention to Auburn
probably the second most out of
1187
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,880
all teams besides Virginia Tech.
And Auburn has just been running
1188
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,480
the ball for some reason.
They had really good wide
1189
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,280
receivers and they have not used
them at all.
1190
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,960
So I think this is going to be a
week that they use them.
1191
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,320
And if you haven't been using
them, I don't know what you look
1192
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,120
like.
So I think Oklahoma's going to
1193
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,680
get it, Sheldon.
Jimmy.
1194
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:53,400
Oklahoma.
All right, that's a.
1195
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,320
Change in the pic there you had
all the shoot.
1196
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,720
Dang it, Dang it.
Oh, I was reading off the wrong.
1197
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,240
See, this is what happens when I
don't prepare.
1198
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:04,920
You're not preparing.
You're.
1199
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,520
Still really good, Sheldon.
Because I was.
1200
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,000
It's because I was reading.
Off Tally's Tally's thing, not
1201
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,080
mine.
Yes, I am taking Auburn.
1202
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,760
I do remember I picked Auburn.
But hey, who cares?
1203
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,240
I just hope it's a good game.
I think it will be.
1204
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,920
Brian.
Yeah, give me Auburn as.
1205
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,120
Well, I.
Think it's going to be a good
1206
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:23,240
game?
But I think Auburn's going to
1207
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:24,640
come to play.
They looked a little bit better
1208
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,440
last week so.
Let's see.
1209
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:29,440
I'm around with Tally on this
one.
1210
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,760
I think Oklahoma's going to win.
It's in Oklahoma.
1211
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,160
John Mateer and his arm angle
throws is unbelievable.
1212
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,120
I think he lights up that
defense.
1213
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,280
I still think it's a good game.
I think it's going to be a
1214
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:47,600
shootout like 3828.
Oklahoma pulls away an
1215
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,160
entertaining game on Saturday
night.
1216
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,600
Luckily our game's at 12 so I
can enjoy the rest of the day
1217
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,360
all righty.
Shelton.
1218
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,240
Let's go.
I am.
1219
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,160
Super excited about this game at
Texas.
1220
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,840
Texas Tech against Utah for some
reason.
1221
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,200
It's a 10 AM local kick.
I don't ask me about that. 12
1222
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,760
PM. 12:00 PM.
For us normal people on the East
1223
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,720
Coast, I, I went Utah.
They're sort of like my closet
1224
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,840
team just because I want
Virginia Tech to be like them.
1225
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,560
So I I am going with the Utah
youths.
1226
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:24,320
And that line is -3 1/2, Shelton
taking the point they're laying
1227
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:30,320
3 1/2, say, in Utah.
I'm with you on this one,
1228
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,520
Shelton.
I do believe that Texas Tech,
1229
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,080
they paid a lot of money it a 10
AM kick.
1230
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,040
That's.
Miserable.
1231
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,360
I don't care who you are.
That's miserable.
1232
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,480
You can't tailgate or unless you
get there, like 4:00 AM, the
1233
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:52,240
game's over by like one or two.
So Utah.
1234
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,920
Utah by a touchdown.
The money don't pay for wins,
1235
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,520
Ryan.
Yeah, give me Utah.
1236
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,680
As well, I think, I think they
almost win.
1237
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,200
That's going away.
Not not quite a blowout, but it
1238
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:13,160
could be at least 2 touchdowns.
All right, Texas Tech.
1239
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,800
Grand, We're going to go with
the Red Raiders.
1240
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,480
They're going to be inspired by
Michael Crabtree and go get a
1241
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,480
win all.
Right there we go.
1242
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,600
Got that.
Three of us on Utah.
1243
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,920
Cali says guns up.
That's one of my closet teams.
1244
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,760
I'm all I like Texas Tech when
Mike Bleach was there.
1245
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,680
Guns up, baby, guns up.
Brian, you got the last one.
1246
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,520
Where are we going, man?
We're we're heading.
1247
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,680
To Indiana man Illinois,
Indiana.
1248
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,600
Baby.
Yeah, maybe, maybe a.
1249
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,920
Future hokey coach in this game,
but I've got I've got Indiana
1250
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,520
taking this one.
Is Indiana. -5 1/2 Brian takes
1251
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,960
Indiana who who did the whoever
did the 2GO next?
1252
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,760
Is that he?
It was me.
1253
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,960
I don't think that I, I seen a
couple people put that in the
1254
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:09,320
chat earlier saying seeing to to
VTi don't see it, but who knows,
1255
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,320
man, money talks.
So I'm going to say Indiana,
1256
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:13,880
though I think Indiana's going
to take this one.
1257
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,640
Shelton.
Yeah, remind me what?
1258
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,440
The spread is because I can't
see it on mobile.
1259
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,840
It's 5.
And a half and you texted me
1260
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,520
earlier.
Illinois, yes, right.
1261
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:27,920
Yeah.
No, I'm taking Illinois.
1262
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,280
The reason being is the thing
I'm concerned about Indiana is
1263
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,000
that they've not been challenged
at all and they're now going to
1264
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,960
face a top ten team.
I just don't like the way that
1265
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,520
the game is set up because
they've played three absolute
1266
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,880
cream puffs to this point of the
season.
1267
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:43,280
O do.
You.
1268
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,480
Yeah, well.
To be fair, O do you, hey, no
1269
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,360
one O do you will walk into
Wayne Stadium.
1270
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,160
They'll whip you around.
So respect O do you.
1271
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:55,040
But otherwise, yes.
Oh my God, Ed Shelton, I'm
1272
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,440
running along with you.
I like Illinois in this game
1273
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,360
with it.
If if they were laying 5 1/2, I
1274
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:02,920
like them.
I think Illinois is the better
1275
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,960
team.
Illinois.
1276
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,880
I don't think this is a great
Duke team.
1277
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,600
I think it's a solid Duke team
and they basically punched them
1278
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,640
and then just ran away from
later 4519 earlier this year.
1279
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,320
Brett Bieber looking coach.
He always has been.
1280
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,040
Able to coach, he's always had
good philosophies.
1281
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,800
He is a good head coach.
I think he would have done good
1282
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,680
at Virginia Tech.
I think Kirk Cignetti would do
1283
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,880
good at Virginia Tech because
they can coach football. 5 1/2
1284
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,640
Give me that Illinois win at
least 5 touchdowns.
1285
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,960
So so there it is.
No cool graphic this week
1286
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:46,480
because Brian's on vacay down in
Orlando, Cal Anybody else at the
1287
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,360
portal or anybody else
decommitted?
1288
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,680
No, not that I.
See, I mean, I expect to see a
1289
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,920
couple of them of it happening
here soon.
1290
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,920
But you know, we get Nick Saban.
Everybody will come back.
1291
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,880
So don't worry about it.
Everybody will come back.
1292
01:07:59,960 --> 01:08:03,080
Nick Saban, That's it.
He, he needs he, he was born and
1293
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,720
raised in West Virginia.
That's the closest thing he can
1294
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,320
come as Virginia Tech to retire
for a few last seasons.
1295
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,480
So there we go.
All right with that.
1296
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,160

Well, we kind of a man short
tonight.

00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,880
He's hanging in the background
here, but he's on vacation.
18
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,800
But y'all, how's it going
tonight fellas?
19
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Doing good.
Go ahead, Shelton.
20
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Man, I'm, I'm feeling good.
I, I feel, I feel rejuvenated
21
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,360
after the news on Sunday.
I feel like we are slowly and,
22
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880
and soon going to start
embarking on a new era of BT
23
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,080
football.
So, and I remember saying this
24
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,960
Saturday night, like I think I
think that loss was good because
25
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,360
it will completely strip
everything in that
26
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,040
administration down to parts.
We will sell it off, we will gut
27
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,800
it, we will get rid of it.
We will we will jettison every
28
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,000
old idea from from the previous
administration and we're going
29
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,040
to move forward with this new
era of hoagie football.
30
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,800
So I'm excited, man.
I know it's going to be some
31
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
maybe some some bumpy sees
ahead, but I'm excited for the
32
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
long term future.
No, man.
33
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,240
I mean he great way to put it.
Great way to put it, Shelton,
34
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,040
He's smiling.
He's been smiling ever since,
35
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080
you know?
So if Shelton's happy, I'm happy
36
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,040
because I know he's coming with
some factual stats.
37
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,040
He's not just going to be blind
opinionated like I am.
38
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
I don't think it's any secret
how I felt.
39
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Well, I was in Vegas, man, when
we just played, ODUI was in
40
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Vegas.
I may have watched like 1/4, but
41
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,720
it just was.
There was no lie, you know, it
42
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,240
was, it was the end, man.
You know what I'm saying?
43
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,640
It was a relationship where two
people have been together since
44
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,120
high school and you know, they
was getting ready to go to
45
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520
college and they was trying to
figure out, are we going to make
46
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,360
this work?
No, you going to go to college
47
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,080
and you're going to get fucked.
You don't want to be together no
48
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,520
more.
So let's just go ahead and end
49
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,560
it and still be friends.
And you know your way.
50
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,760
I go my way.
So I'm feeling good.
51
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920
I'm feeling great.
The only thing that I'm upset
52
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,960
about is that I was in Vegas and
I did not go put any money on
53
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,000
ODU or I didn't.
How much money would you have
54
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,880
made if he was the first one
fired?
55
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,040
You should have put it we told
you.
56
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,680
Yeah, I I should have.
I should have.
57
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,800
I didn't, but so was but.
We just told you to go.
58
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Make it yeah.
Was UCL as coach fire first
59
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120
though?
I don't know, but I think the
60
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,960
odds for firing you could have
got either way the.
61
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Odds.
You would have got some before.
62
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400
Yeah, 100%.
Not that we're reveling in it or
63
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,320
anything, just just so you know.
But tonight we're not doing.
64
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,960
No, the enemy is Wofford.
Lord have mercy.
65
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,600
If we have to get to know them,
then we, we might be losing our
66
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,280
shit here, but we are going to
tell the truth about a lot of
67
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,240
stuff that's happened over this
weekend.
68
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,600
And I'm going to say something
real quick.
69
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,960
It might piss some of y'all off,
but I talked with talent about
70
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,160
this.
We're going to get into a bunch
71
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640
of shit tonight.
We ain't getting into who the
72
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,000
next coach is.
OK?
73
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
That will be a future episode.
Start with you.
74
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,280
Ain't no need right now, y'all.
We got 10 weeks, 10 weeks until
75
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:54,200
that comes down.
You've got likely the BOV stuff
76
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,320
coming back.
We we've heard about some of the
77
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,120
new structural stuff.
We want to talk about that.
78
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,400
And don't worry, because tally
me, you, Shelton, I couldn't get
79
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,520
in touch with you.
I'm sorry.
80
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,560
I don't know what you're doing
today, but what we're going to
81
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,160
do, give us about a month and
we're going to bring you all on
82
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,240
here and you tell us who and why
you want.
83
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,160
We got our opinions.
There's people we like.
84
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Of course, we've chatted about
it, but give us about a month.
85
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Let the season go.
Because when I say Tally, I
86
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480
don't want somebody be like, I
want this guy and that guy go
87
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,640
look like ask the next 5 weeks.
You ain't going to want him no
88
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520
more.
So give it a little bit of time,
89
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,480
let it simmer and come back in
about a month and we will, like
90
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,040
we did last week, we're going to
bring y'all on to tell us who
91
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,840
your coach is.
We'll keep a tally of it.
92
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,480
The best part about it is
recorded.
93
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,200
So if somebody comes up tally,
that's going to be great in
94
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,600
about two years, right?
Somebody come up in here and
95
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,320
said that's the coach, that's
the coach.
96
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,680
And they asked are we going to
bring you up?
97
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,240
We're going to bring your
picture on the screen and say,
98
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
y'all remember when Andretti
said to hire this guy?
99
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,800
So that's what you did.
But we're off on that night.
100
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,240
But before we get into the
firing and everything, I want to
101
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920
ask you all questions.
Shelton, I believe you would
102
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,000
have been in school or about to
go to school when everything
103
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,200
started because this is the
first.
104
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720
This is the three of the ODUS.
Which is worse?
105
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,360
We'll start with Sheldon Tally
20/18/2022 or 2025.
106
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Which one is the worst?
Start with me or.
107
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Start with you.
Yeah, OK.
108
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Yeah.
So for me, I would say, I would
109
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,840
say 2022 was the worst and I can
explain why. 2018, I felt like
110
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,560
was just a genuine upset where
you had a team just played
111
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,640
absolute lights out with a
quarterback that nobody's ever
112
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440
heard of, went on to become a
church minister.
113
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Like that was just a team
playing their best game, like
114
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,040
all the collectively the best
game of their lives.
115
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,880
And, you know, lost by two
touchdowns.
116
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,640
But we ended up having a, a 500
season that year.
117
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,720
So I mean, you know, it wasn't
like, you know, it wasn't like a
118
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,080
major shift, like the trajectory
of our program.
119
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,880
The reason I, I'd say 2022 is
because that was the first time
120
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,040
in the pride era.
And there were so many high
121
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,760
hopes and expectations for, you
know, for, for for the coaching
122
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,120
staff.
And, you know, obviously for
123
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,440
that season that when we saw
that horrible performance, and
124
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
particularly considering how
poorly Tech played, just the
125
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,560
amount of coaching mistakes,
the, you know, the procedural
126
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,960
penalties, all that stuff, I
felt like it really put a huge
127
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,080
stamper on what we thought was
going to be a very positive
128
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880
moment.
And I feel like ever since that
129
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,960
game, there's always kind of
this idea in the back of your
130
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,919
head of like, OK, is this stuff
a really.
131
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:44,880
It's because they were just so
poor that night that it was like
132
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,320
it kind of, you know, ripped
away all of your, your, you
133
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,360
know, good feelings about what
what was achievable for for tech
134
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,640
football.
So that was definitely kind of
135
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,600
a, a dramatic shift, I would
say, in the overall optimism of
136
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,560
the Hokie fan base.
And that's why I'd say 2022.
137
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,040
What about you, Tyler?
Everyone, everyone is is is a is
138
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,560
a good for that everyone.
But but I'll say 25 for me, man,
139
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,520
it's just because Sheldon makes
a great point, you know, makes a
140
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,640
great point when he talks about
22 went down, but 25 was
141
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,320
absolutely like you didn't do
nothing.
142
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,400
You know, in the other games, it
was like you were kind of in it,
143
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,800
you know, you had this going
good or this kind of you was
144
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,920
losing 31 to 0 at your house.
Like somebody walked in your
145
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,280
house, you was throwing a BBQ,
kicked you off your own grill,
146
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:48,040
said you go sit in the bathroom
till I finish cooking and then
147
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,920
I'll bring you a plate.
And then they didn't even bring
148
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,520
you a plate.
They just had you sitting in the
149
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
bathroom with a toilet full of
dookie.
150
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,920
That's what happened. 25 was
horrible.
151
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,840
It's been leading up to it.
I mean, I guess the only reason
152
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,240
I would say, you know, man,
maybe not, you know, maybe not.
153
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Maybe it was 22 because we had
high hopes, but it's like you
154
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,800
kind of you you you start off
the season with South Carolina
155
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,200
and you kind of lose at the end.
Was it a fluke?
156
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Then you go up on Vanderbilt.
You, you like, you got some kind
157
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,320
of hope.
You feel like, OK, yeah.
158
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Then you got ODU.
That comes in.
159
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,440
First of all, we've seen the
team quit against Vandy, and
160
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,720
then you're coming to this game
and the same team showed up.
161
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,760
So you didn't want it to happen.
But it's like most people who
162
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,320
have watched the team knew this
team has quit.
163
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,920
You know, whether they quit on
the coach or they just quit
164
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
football, like, I don't know.
I don't know what it is, but it
165
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440
wasn't good and it showed on the
field.
166
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560
So 25 to me was by far the
worst.
167
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,920
See, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm against
25 needed to happen. 2022 is
168
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,080
bad.
But to me, 2018 is the one that
169
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,200
they showed there were flaws in
the way everything was built
170
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,480
around the football program
because we were ten win, 9 win.
171
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320
Could have been even better in
2017.
172
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,320
And then remember 18, we went
down to Florida State, shut them
173
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,560
out, swag, surf, all that stuff.
It was unbelievable.
174
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,800
And it's like you have this
game, you're 2 and I think we
175
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,400
were ranked 18th in the country.
And it was just a meltdown
176
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,280
because everybody keeps trying
to point when did we lose it?
177
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,520
I think it was right there.
You went to their house, which
178
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,200
you never should have did That
happened.
179
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Josh Jackson snaps his leg, you
go six and six.
180
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200
See the worst part, Sheldon?
That year for them, they weren't
181
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,040
an 8 or 9 or two.
They were four and eight.
182
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,760
They were four and eight in
2018.
183
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,840
That game is to me is what the
game that that is the game that
184
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,880
set us back the most.
Because if you go down there and
185
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,440
you stomp them or you just win
by a touchdown or two, all
186
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,640
right, you probably get out of
that Series A lot quicker.
187
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Like we ain't coming down here
no more.
188
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040
We beat y'all.
We gave you a game that ain't
189
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,880
happening.
But it showed so many issues
190
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,120
internally on the program, and
it's just feels like it's been
191
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:18,400
downhill since then since then.
2019 was the one blip in the end
192
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,760
of 2023.
So three different opinions on
193
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,320
that and I see y'all some people
are throwing it in here 2018 25
194
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Sheldon it, but it's tough to
like you said y'all both make
195
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:37,640
great points because 25 the quit
was there tally.
196
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,720
But like you said, Sheldon,
2022, it's the start of a new
197
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,920
era.
And when he snapped the ball
198
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,400
from Norfolk to Virginia Beach,
good Lord almighty, it was like
199
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,600
literally, I remember sitting
here thinking, watching that
200
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,480
game because we were all part of
it.
201
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,400
I guess that's the worst snap
I've ever seen.
202
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,200
Had a gas snap that bad like
that, that won't like a bad
203
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,640
snap.
That was literally the worst
204
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,040
snap maybe in the history of
football.
205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,400
So.
Yeah.
206
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,280
And there's no, there's no right
answer.
207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Obviously they're all
embarrassing.
208
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,200
I just.
Feel like Oh no, no, it's, it's
209
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,200
all the way you felt inside.
Yeah, like, I just, I feel like
210
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,280
there was a silver lining with
with last week's game.
211
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
In the sense that this is.
A This is a rebirth of hokey
212
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,680
football.
Well, I guess I guess for me too
213
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:28,960
is like great silver lining.
I don't trust these
214
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,400
motherfuckers to make the right
decision.
215
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,520
So I'm still on the fence.
I think that it's coming, but I
216
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,960
don't know, you know what I'm
saying?
217
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,320
I need to see the next the next
step.
218
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,440
So right now in my feeling is
that 25 What are we going to do?
219
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,880
We need to get rid of Pry.
We need to tell Wit that he
220
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
needs to go to Alaska.
Y'all see it right here.
221
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Right there.
Yes, that's what we need him far
222
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520
away from Blacksburg, VA.
He needs to get.
223
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,400
He looks so defeated, man.
Like I watched a little bit of a
224
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,680
press conference.
Well, you know.
225
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:03,840
What's about to happen?
You know what's about that?
226
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Yeah, he looked like he got
people standing outside his door
227
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,720
making sure he ain't wearing
Virginia Tech stuff.
228
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720
No, don't put that on, man.
Put your suit on.
229
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Don't let it be my room.
I I'm ready for him to go too.
230
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,680
So I've seen a couple of
comments occurred before you go
231
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,400
to the next John.
John Earl, my guy.
232
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,200
He post, he posted in the chat.
He said yeah.
233
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,600
So I don't know what that is.
What is that?
234
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,280
What happened?
Who said something?
235
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,080
Did I miss some in the press
conference?
236
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,280
I don't know.
It just said blaming the past
237
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
regime on the way out was wild
though.
238
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,960
I was trying to figure out what
happened.
239
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,480
I don't, yeah.
Let me know what the reference
240
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,600
is there, yeah.
What was the reference?
241
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,440
I might have.
John was on with this last week.
242
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,680
First of all, Bassmaster, you
right?
243
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Yeah, You you damn right.
We, we should not be in this
244
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400
situation.
Three different ones.
245
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Three different ones.
Yeah, he did snap it to you
246
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
there in the 750.
Yeah, I think, yeah, the Ralph's
247
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,560
tweet that got deleted, that's
what when when Ralph's kind of
248
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,440
blamed the prior regime and
everything.
249
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,360
All right, so let's keep moving
and I'm going to say something
250
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,640
real quick.
First of all, did you see the
251
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920
shirt I chose tonight?
Yep.
252
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,600
Yep, I'll wear this shirt
forever because that guy went to
253
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,600
the pharmacy.
He's like 2 guys.
254
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,800
It's a cool shirt.
It's a great looking shirt.
255
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,680
But here, so I want to read it
if if y'all hadn't seen it, the
256
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,520
the statement prior released
afterwards and basically I'm
257
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,200
already of verbatim here.
So basically on behalf of Amy
258
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,520
and our entire family, I want to
thank President Sands, what
259
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Virginia Tech community for
giving me the opportunity to
260
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,120
lead the program.
Coaching at Virginia Tech was an
261
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,560
incredible honor and incredible
chapter to the outstanding young
262
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,680
men.
Ya ya, you'll get it.
263
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Here's the thing about Pry.
Where we, we, we said it.
264
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,120
We've said it over and over.
Genuinely, he gives a shit about
265
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,680
the program.
Genuinely, he is a good person.
266
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Like.
He's a good guy and and when you
267
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,840
read the statement, it's like
it, it wasn't like it was gone.
268
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,960
There was no statement.
He literally got the guy packed
269
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,320
up a statement they they put.
Out a statement.
270
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,040
And what did it say?
Lily almost said the exact same
271
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:25,840
thing.
I'm not even kidding.
272
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Like it was just verbatim.
Like thanks for everyone, but
273
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,640
put it on Twitter.
But but.
274
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,560
Let's let's, let's, let's get
this, let's unpack this for just
275
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,920
a second.
I don't want to all the time,
276
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,160
but just because Sheldon did hit
on it and I know a lot of
277
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,040
podcasts, people have been
talking about it.
278
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,760
One in particular, my guys not
going to call their names that
279
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,200
may not want me to, but they
know who they are, have been
280
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,680
hitting on it a lot because they
were big Fuente guys.
281
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,360
No problem.
Sure, I me myself, I'm not
282
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:06,400
comparing or blaming the regime
of Fuente for pry or vice versa,
283
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,440
but I can't say.
I did tweet on it and say they
284
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760
came in at a different time.
It was the program was in
285
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,119
different places when they
started.
286
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920
They were in different places.
The talent floor and ceiling
287
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,359
were in different places.
So I don't think that I want to
288
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,240
say that the right way and I've
been, I want y'all to tell me
289
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,160
what you think.
I don't think that we should
290
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,120
keep bringing up Fuente.
He's been gone.
291
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Pride hasn't messed up on his
own, but Fuente left.
292
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,600
People think he was a great
coach still, which is great for
293
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,200
him.
He left this program in a bad
294
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,360
position.
You know, Pride had a long way
295
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,600
to dig out of now.
Once he kind of got to a certain
296
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,400
position, he should have been
able to build off of that and he
297
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,360
couldn't.
You know, he doesn't have the
298
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:00,000
capacity to be a good coach.
You know, he may be a decent
299
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,440
salesman.
He may be a decent, decent
300
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,040
motivator, but he wasn't a good
head coach.
301
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,000
But for people to keep saying,
you know, oh, Fuente did this
302
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,120
and he was miles better and he
was just like, it still kind of
303
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:16,200
baffles me to think like it does
not negate all of the bad stuff
304
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,920
that he did.
He still wasn't, he still did
305
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,520
some bad stuff.
You know, he may have did some
306
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,960
good stuff, but he still did
some bad stuff in it.
307
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,160
Well, he did better than pride.
He still was like it's OK for
308
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,320
him to be better than pride and
still be bad.
309
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,800
So that's just my spill on it.
I'll let y'all take it and
310
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,240
unpack it there.
Well, let me let me put it to
311
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,240
both y'all this way now and I'll
since Shelton kind of tally got
312
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,040
us here.
I'll pitch to you is the program
313
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,160
as it stands and I'm talking all
aspects, is it better?
314
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,840
Is it any better state than it
was in 2021?
315
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,440
Provided that they can get some
new blood in there and and find
316
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,600
the right to lead them.
Yes, it is I, I actually think I
317
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,240
would argue the program was in a
really bad spot in 2020 or not a
318
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,840
great spot in 2021.
And I actually think that's the
319
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,080
reason we hired pride is because
we missed out on some of our our
320
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,080
better candidates because the
job was not perceived as a very
321
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,960
good job.
And I don't think and a lot of
322
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,520
that to be honestly, to be
honest was because of the
323
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,040
administration.
I think there were, there were
324
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,320
things that people knew in 2021
that they've not know in 2016 as
325
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,200
and that was how we were able to
hire Fuente.
326
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,640
So I think over time, the
perception of the tech job
327
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,640
became worse and worse.
Now I think hopefully if we get,
328
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,520
if we get the right people in
there, it can, it can become
329
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,280
much better.
Yeah, no, that's, that's good.
330
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,000
Good way to put it.
Infrastructure has has an
331
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,800
infrastructure should change
because of this.
332
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,760
It's got so bad that the people
up top have started being like,
333
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,480
you know what, this really is
bad.
334
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,240
We are going to have to do
something different.
335
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,440
So I agree with Shelton on that.
I think that then was a little
336
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,240
bit worse and that's why I
brought it up because I keep
337
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,800
seeing people trying to go back
to this, you know, let's go back
338
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,360
to four years and different
ones.
339
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,800
They leave it in a better plot.
Well, he won more games.
340
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,640
He had more talent.
Those first two years he had,
341
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,280
the four years he had extremely
mortality.
342
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,200
He got he got left with a a
better program.
343
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:20,000
You know, even with Frank being
at the end of his road and
344
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,560
couldn't continue coaching, he
still had the roster with a lot
345
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,920
of talent on it.
So we ain't got to get into all
346
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760
that.
I just keep seeing people pop up
347
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,880
and talk about all of that and
I'm just like, we have to for a
348
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,120
couple.
Reasons because a where you
349
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,680
begin your journey and then
where you leave it is a huge,
350
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,360
huge story in itself.
And again, I think Fuente really
351
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:46,840
good coach, but he didn't like
to recruit.
352
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,080
He didn't have the best people
skills.
353
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,320
We could see that.
That's the shit that as you get
354
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,960
deeper into your head coaching
career, you have to become
355
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,080
really good at.
It's not just coaching anymore.
356
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,560
That's the shit Prowl is good
at.
357
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,440
He unfortunately couldn't do the
other shit right.
358
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,480
And it sucks.
But if you ask me right now, and
359
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,680
I mean, we, we, we, we talked to
people who have connections
360
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,720
inside high schools.
Remember what some of the
361
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,120
stories were coming out.
They hadn't been here in
362
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:16,440
forever.
We hadn't heard from them.
363
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,640
They didn't come visit, they
didn't come check on us.
364
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,720
They didn't do shit where this
regime was a complete 180.
365
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:25,960
I think the next regime, whoever
it's going to be, the day they
366
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,920
walk into any of these schools
within the, I know the six hour
367
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,160
radius, but any big football
school that's in our footprint.
368
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520
People are going to know.
Oh, that's Virginia Tech.
369
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Oh, they, they've been here
three times already in the last
370
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,360
six months.
They're coming to see some.
371
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,960
And so they're coming.
The relationships are built.
372
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,240
They're not going to have to
recreate them.
373
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,000
They're going to be able to walk
in.
374
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520
I'll ask the question in a
little while and I, I think it's
375
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,600
going to be one that y'all
probably see coming, but they're
376
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,160
going to be able to walk in and
it's going to be a hell of a lot
377
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,760
easier to recruit and sell the
program to where it was at the
378
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,880
beginning or the end of 2021
into 2022.
379
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Sheldon, you said it a couple
times and we're going to kind of
380
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240
jump around a little bit just
based on what you said, because
381
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,640
it is, I think somebody's made
new people have said if you
382
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,920
watch the presser, it was clear
with defeated, it's likely going
383
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,120
to be a full structure in the
athletic department.
384
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,600
The fire, he didn't even get the
fire prop.
385
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,200
He didn't even get to send the
memo out as Tim Sands has sent
386
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,800
the memo out.
Shelton.
387
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,680
How deep does it need to go?
You said earlier to the ground.
388
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Is it all the way to the ground?
I think so.
389
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,360
I think a couple things.
Obviously you're going to get
390
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:49,440
into AD and with a new, when a
new AD comes in, you're going to
391
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,080
get in your new senior
administrator.
392
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320
So if you go on the, if you go
on the staff director on
393
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,240
hokiesports.com, you can see all
the senior level administrators.
394
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,320
Those are, you know, your sport
admins, your your directors,
395
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,560
your, you know, chief financial
officers, etcetera, etcetera,
396
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,240
that all sort of, you know, make
the kind of run the show.
397
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,880
A lot of those people have have
been there for, you know, some
398
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,200
10 to 15 years.
And so I really think it's time
399
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,040
to get some new blood in there.
That's it.
400
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,400
They're all bad or anything like
that.
401
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,760
But when you've consistently
underperformed and you know,
402
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520
you're you're falling behind in
the money game, I think it might
403
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,560
be time for some, so for some
outside ideas.
404
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,000
So I think they'll go on that.
They also think they need to
405
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,280
restructure the Hoagie Club, you
know, get more staffing, new
406
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,840
leadership, more resources,
someone that's, you know, has,
407
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,600
has, you know, fundraising
experience, ideally at a Power 4
408
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,240
level.
So I'd say between Hoagie Club
409
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,160
and the the internal
administration, I, I think
410
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,120
everything needs to be
completely restructured.
411
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Now.
Tally anything you want to add
412
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,920
on that because I'm about to
throw the next one which I think
413
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520
you will jump on.
It is just.
414
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,880
Real quick, I'll say it then let
you throw it on.
415
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,600
I'm not a politics guy by no
means.
416
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,680
I just feel like when you are in
a place too long similar to
417
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,280
politics, it's time to change.
Eight years, you need to go, you
418
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,320
know what I'm saying?
You've been here too long.
419
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,720
Especially if you ain't doing
good.
420
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,680
Why are we still doing the same
thing man?
421
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,600
Let's change it up.
So Sheldon put it perfectly.
422
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560
Hey, I'm so glad Sheldon was
able to get on here because
423
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,280
y'all know I get on here and
start rambling.
424
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,040
I just, I just let my protege,
my young guy, just get on here,
425
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,440
kick it to y'all real quick and
then we go to the next thing.
426
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,560
So perfect, man, Perfect
Shelton.
427
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,280
Steers us in the right direction
a lot of times, Shelton, you
428
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,520
don't even know it, man.
You don't even know you.
429
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,080
You steers the right way.
But with that being said, we're
430
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,440
going to take it down to the
studs in everything that was
431
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:53,240
said yesterday.
Everything that was said
432
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,560
yesterday, it looks like they're
Sean.
433
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,640
It's going to go down to the
studs because we're basically
434
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,320
going to have a whole new
structure to the athletic
435
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,680
department.
There is going to be the
436
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,840
football with what sounds like
an NFL structure, which I am
437
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280
going to say is probably going
to be a general manager.
438
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,280
It's probably going to be
recruiting guys.
439
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,400
And then the other areas, this
is kind of caught my and even
440
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,400
though this isn't football more
of a corporate structure for the
441
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,760
rest of the athletics
department.
442
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,400
We, we, we talked about it for
years here, Mom and pop shop,
443
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,520
mom and pop shop it.
It's gotten a little bit better,
444
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,000
but it sounds like.
Likely with everything.
445
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720
The BOV is going to do in the
next few weeks.
446
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,520
It is going to look inside and
out.
447
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,480
Now I'll pitch this to y'all.
What do y'all do Y'all think for
448
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,200
school?
Like Virginia Tech, even though
449
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800
we're not the biggest, is a NFL
GM type model where it's going
450
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,040
to be AGM?
My assumption is the GM, whoever
451
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,560
that gets hired as is probably
going to make decisions on the
452
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,560
coaches.
Is that OK?
453
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,160
Is that going to work for us?
I mean, I feel like you got.
454
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080
To have something like that, I
don't know the term, but or the
455
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,000
the name that you put on it, you
know, you don't want to just
456
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,880
throw money to somebody who's
not doing nothing.
457
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,600
But similar to what Sheldon
said, you got to have somebody
458
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,720
who knows football.
And I come from the sales world
459
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280
and the marketing world.
I just feel like our marketing
460
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,360
has been horrible.
I mean, I feel like that our
461
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,800
social media stuff has gotten
better as far as pictures and
462
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,240
videos, but I feel like the
marketing that we've been doing
463
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,320
has been horrible.
Like, I just feel like, don't
464
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,240
kill me, everybody.
I'm tired of hearing about a
465
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,480
game that we lost 25 years ago.
I'm tired of it.
466
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,320
You know what I'm saying?
If you want to talk about
467
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,720
something, let's go talk about
Clemson.
468
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Show the replay of Clemson when
we lost in 2016 in the ACC
469
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,120
Championship.
That's closer to us being
470
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,360
relevant than 25 years ago
losing the Florida State.
471
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,520
Like, I'm tired of keep bringing
this team back.
472
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,880
I'm tired of keep bringing this
up.
473
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Like our marketing team keeps
wanting to build around that and
474
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,240
the people that's higher up want
to keep building on that.
475
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,400
Let it go.
Like we it's over.
476
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,560
We didn't even have social media
back then.
477
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,680
Like I'm almost 40, I'm old.
So if they older than me, they
478
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,480
fucking old, you know what I'm
saying?
479
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,760
Like quit telling me about
nostalgia and bring me into the
480
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,920
new generation, Shelton's
generation.
481
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,200
They want to see quick tik toks.
We want to see people, you know,
482
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,160
scoring and dancing.
We want to see some different
483
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,480
shit.
I want to see winning.
484
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,840
You know, most people want to
see winning.
485
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,440
But I'm tired of hearing about
what we used to do in yesteryear
486
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,080
and all of that bullshit.
Like we need somebody to come in
487
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,880
and go, hey, I've been around
football right now and this is
488
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800
how it's being played.
This is how you have to attack
489
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560
NIL.
It's not the same way as it used
490
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,160
to be, you know?
So I think that you do have to
491
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,800
have some people to do things
like that and know things like
492
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,320
that.
I don't know who it is, you know
493
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,520
what I'm saying, But me myself,
I wanted to be somebody
494
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,480
different.
I want to, I don't want to get
495
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,720
rid of Beamer as far as like
Frank Beamer is always going to
496
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,320
be Virginia Tech.
But I'm tired of hearing about
497
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,960
Frank Beamer every game.
But we don't have anything else
498
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,080
to talk about.
Tired of hearing about pride.
499
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,920
Used to be here when Beamer was
here, like it was cool at first.
500
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,120
It ain't work.
Time to go.
501
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,440
And to be honest with you, I'm
going to give Fuente some kudos.
502
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,400
I think that's why he was like,
he was.
503
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240
I think he was tired of it too,
because they talked about things
504
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,120
he said at practice when he
talked about I'm tired of
505
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,120
hearing about Virginia.
I'm tired of this.
506
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:32,120
I think he was just like.
We have a.
507
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:35,120
This is.
A losing program, like our
508
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,000
biggest game was a loss, you
know what I'm saying?
509
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Our biggest game ever was a
loss, and that's all we keep
510
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
talking about.
So I'm tired of hearing about
511
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,120
it, so I'm going to just do
something totally different.
512
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
But when he came in, everything
was force fed to him.
513
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,360
He had a he had ADC that he had
to keep.
514
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,320
That was a Virginia.
Tech guy, you know, he had
515
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,400
coaches that he had to keep.
Then he had to hire a new DC who
516
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,760
was a Virginia Tech guy and was
a loser, you know, not a loser
517
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,280
person.
But I'm talking about on the
518
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,240
field.
So I just think that he probably
519
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,600
got tired of the 25.
Put it in the rafters, put it on
520
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,080
some shirts.
I'm tired of hearing about the
521
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,880
25.
The lunch bell.
522
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,520
It's not the same.
If it's not the same, stop
523
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,640
trying to make it that, you know
what I'm saying?
524
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,760
You can still talk about
traditions, but create new ones.
525
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,520
So I'm ready for all that at the
end, man.
526
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,360
I'm ready for somebody to come
in and say, hey man, I really
527
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,440
respect what's been built here.
I want to build on this legacy.
528
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,960
But I think this is the way that
we can do that and then let's go
529
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,600
do this here.
Half strippers on the sideline.
530
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,800
I don't know what the fix is.
Y'all want to ask me?
531
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,880
I know somebody's going to
message me and say, well what do
532
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,840
we need to do?
Because you say get rid of sad
533
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,680
man Yeah, get rid of it.
In my opinion, if that's going
534
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,120
to help us to, like, go into the
next stage, sure, do it for big
535
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,360
games.
Do it when we get in prime time,
536
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,080
like, do something different.
Because what we keep doing is
537
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,840
showing up, jumping, getting
beat down, leaving at halftime.
538
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,600
Tired of that.
So that's my rant for right now.
539
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,480
I'm going to throw it back to
you, Curtis.
540
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520
Well, I'm going to give Sheldon.
'S opinion on this Sheldon, do
541
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680
you like what's likely going to
be the new model I?
542
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:11,760
Don't think they really have a
choice.
543
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,680
I think that's going to every
every team.
544
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,280
You know, I was I was thinking
about this today.
545
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,320
During the the mid twenty 10s,
there was a shift towards hiring
546
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,200
the sort of CEO type head
coaches like Davos Sweeney that
547
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,800
kind of, you know, aren't aren't
as involved as in the X and OS,
548
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,040
but they kind of manage the
program.
549
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,720
They do fundraising, schmooze,
schmooze with donors, all that
550
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,160
stuff.
And that's obviously what, you
551
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,800
know, kind of got Vt in trouble
with Fuente is that he was good
552
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,720
at the X and OS, but wasn't so
much suited for the more, you
553
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,000
know, the more modern climate.
Now, I think because of how much
554
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,440
responsibility coaches had to
take, they're shifting the role
555
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,920
of the finance part of it to the
GM.
556
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,320
So now I think we're going to
see a shift more back towards
557
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,960
the XS and those coaches rather
than the CEO type, which means
558
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,400
that obviously Tech needs to
focus number one on getting a
559
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,000
coach that can absolutely
maximize his talent.
560
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:05,120
So I do, I do, I do want to see
the, the business and finance
561
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,760
aspect kind of shifted towards
the more managerial side, like
562
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,600
AGM, director of player
personnel, etcetera, etcetera.
563
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200
But they, they need to be actual
football people.
564
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,360
Like this cannot be, you know,
like, you know, tenured
565
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,400
administrators within the
athletic department.
566
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,360
It has to be actual hired
football people who have
567
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,280
football knowledge and, and
knowledge of business and, and,
568
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,720
and both of those things
together.
569
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,960
We need to hire actual
experienced people.
570
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,320
So yeah.
No, no, no, I think that's
571
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,960
that's the way.
Great way to look at it.
572
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,600
Shelter.
Now, can your coach still be a
573
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,520
stick when it comes to talking
to kids?
574
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,840
No, but I think you're making a
great point as far as they won't
575
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,760
need to do it all anymore.
The GM can find you can have
576
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,960
people lay down the foundation
of the recruiting of going out,
577
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,240
making the insurance and outs in
the schools and basically tally
578
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,760
you go back to the sales thing
is there sometimes in certain
579
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,400
businesses, there's different
levels and effectively you got a
580
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,040
closer coach is still going to
be closer.
581
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,080
Because if you got the coach
who's a good exiting O's guy and
582
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,840
he can just close the deals,
then that's that's what you're
583
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,560
looking for.
You can do X's and O's and when
584
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,720
you need to step in the room to
close the deal, you know what to
585
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,360
say to the kid because you know
what you've done the X's and O's
586
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,000
on the kid, right?
This is what takes this kid.
587
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,480
If I say this line right here,
he's going to come on board.
588
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,760
So I like the way it's going
because personally I think it's
589
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,000
easy to find those guys who can
do the GM type stuff.
590
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,640
It's harder to find the coaches.
Yes.
591
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,480
There are enigmas like Frank
Beamer who have it all, who have
592
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,440
the personality, who can recruit
but also has the XS and OS part
593
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,080
of his game on.
All right, let me flip over to
594
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:02,760
this real quick.
Back to pry because this is kind
595
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,280
of the way we go.
I had some set up but this is
596
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,480
how we do it sometimes.
In tally we've we've.
597
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,800
Said it a number of times, but
he's been fired now.
598
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,880
What was his biggest issue?
What was his biggest problem in
599
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,880
the three years?
Three games prize the biggest.
600
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,880
Problem.
It was his biggest problem.
601
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120
He couldn't finish.
He couldn't finish the game.
602
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,680
He couldn't find a way to win.
He.
603
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Couldn't finish.
You could say that it's so hard
604
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,760
because like I feel like it kind
of goes into everything, but
605
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320
mainly couldn't finish games
couldn't finish with big
606
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,360
recruit.
You know that has other stuff in
607
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,800
there, but I just couldn't
finish man.
608
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,320
I mean, OK, makes sense I.
Mean you won, you won in 12 in
609
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,040
one score games.
It's truthful, yeah.
610
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,920
It's just.
And I hate it because I think
611
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,360
that he's a he's a decent guy.
I don't want to just sit here
612
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,400
and bag on the dude, But I mean,
you couldn't win, brother.
613
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,000
You know, I hope you you're
rich.
614
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,280
So you go go ahead and do
whatever you want to do.
615
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,840
I'm sure he's he'll get another
job somewhere, probably
616
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,000
defensive coordinator or
something.
617
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,840
But he just was not a good head
coach.
618
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,159
And I think it was mainly
because of his closing skills.
619
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:18,639
Curtis closing.
Skills, Sean, what about you?
620
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,320
Yeah, I agree.
I would say just by far and away
621
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,639
the biggest issue was the in
game coaching and game
622
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:28,320
management.
You know, I think it was just
623
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,040
completely atrocious.
You know, I, I thought I have
624
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,520
some, some minor quibbles with
recruiting and roster
625
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,480
management, but I thought for
the most part, you know,
626
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,320
probably was OK there.
I just think he absolutely could
627
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,600
not, could not get the most out
of his talent.
628
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,440
And you know, some of it was
development.
629
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,719
Again, we don't know because
we're not exactly, you know, in
630
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,600
the room, but I just think when
you I, I remember arguing this
631
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,440
actually of last year when pry
get rid of those 4 assistants.
632
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,199
Obviously Marv, you know, the
strength coach, coach Crook.
633
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,920
And I think there was, I think
there's one other we I, I didn't
634
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,240
have an issue with getting rid
of the assistants.
635
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,960
I think we all know that they
needed to go and, and, and, you
636
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,360
know, the tech obviously could
have upgraded there, but I I
637
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,080
felt like.
Getting rid of assistance if.
638
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,880
It was not the end all be all.
I think it was a it was still
639
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,520
fundamentally a head coach
problem because we've seen tech,
640
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,360
you know, if your if your
assistants are good enough to
641
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,120
keep you in close games against
good teams and you can never
642
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,800
finish them, brother, that's AU
problem.
643
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,200
And yeah, Coach.
Flintage excuse.
644
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Me probably just could never get
over that like he could just
645
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,720
could not get over that close
game hump.
646
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,200
And, and you see now, you know,
you bring in 50 new kids, 30
647
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,040
transfers, you know, you don't
know how good these guys are
648
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,480
'cause, you know, you're trying
to desperately win games.
649
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,720
And it just, you know, they,
they, they faced adversity and
650
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:50,480
they couldn't handle it.
And they just completely quit on
651
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,840
them.
And so I think it was just kind
652
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,880
of a cascade of, you know, the,
the, the series of, of loss that
653
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,600
we suffered from last year and
just how that kind of affected
654
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,080
the program.
So, yeah, it was just just in
655
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,120
game coaching acumen, attention
to detail was just abysmal.
656
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,520
I thought.
I think that was the biggest
657
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,920
thing more than recruiting here,
certainly.
658
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,880
All right, Curtis.
Curtis, now before you go into
659
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,440
yours, I know you're going to
bring us home.
660
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,200
I want the dress.
That's Phil, right?
661
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,400
That's Phil.
Yeah, well, Phil on.
662
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,240
That what what he says.
I bet they keep money on one
663
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:24,000
more year since the next since
next year's schedule is trash.
664
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,400
No they ain't.
That's not having to Phil.
665
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,120
Phil, you need to go up there
and tell them who you are and
666
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,320
tell them you are moments on the
Mori and you will not stand for
667
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,360
that.
But honestly, you know I'm going
668
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,320
to do it in Alabama.
I don't know nothing, but I've
669
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,720
heard enough to know they
understand that can't happen
670
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,480
like we.
We can't be here.
671
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,960
Like Jason said, he's going to
be here in 2026.
672
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,080
Wit can't be here at the end of
this year.
673
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,200
Wit can't be there.
They're.
674
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,760
Not going to, you know, put till
Teal's been saying a lot of
675
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,000
stuff.
He may be right, but I think
676
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,400
he's wrong.
Like wit's not going to be here
677
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,640
and they're going to they're
going to have to hire a coach.
678
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,200
They're they're not going to be
able to do that.
679
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,840
But the other thing.
Is this if we're going to a new
680
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,400
model, which is not going to be
over football anymore, the GM
681
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,360
will be over football.
So if he's here, he ain't
682
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,160
touching football.
Here's my issue, the biggest
683
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,760
issue of pride tally.
I thought you were going to go
684
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,960
to this and I'm glad you didn't.
He's too fucking loyal.
685
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,200
Too many people way too often.
His coaches, you know when he
686
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,960
when he made those hires of
bowling and Marv is like these
687
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,480
are too inexperienced guys, but
these are my guys.
688
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,880
Loyalty got him there.
Loyalty got him numerous times
689
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,760
when you were saying just bench
the guy.
690
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,520
It doesn't matter who you bring
out because you've said it.
691
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,600
I think we've all said it.
If you just bench the guy for
692
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,040
the rest of the game, at least
you get a point through his head
693
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,080
of I am not afraid to take you
off that field if you're bad.
694
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,080
And he just never could do it.
He never could do it
695
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,240
consistently to where we've seen
other coaches.
696
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,520
You ain't having a good game.
Go sit in.
697
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,360
Well, coach, I'm going to start.
I don't care.
698
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,640
Just sit down, go sit in the
corner and think about it.
699
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,440
If you're a starter, you're
going to play better and if
700
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,880
you're not going to play better,
you're not going to play
701
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,240
anymore.
And that was his.
702
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,880
I think that was his biggest
downfall.
703
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,320
I think if there were time, Ben
Bell ripped.
704
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,600
Somebody's helmet off and was
talking trash about how he
705
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,240
ripped the helmet off to him and
the quarterback was pointing to
706
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:27,440
the scoreboard and Pride just
looked at him like he was his
707
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,320
little brother and said, man,
you can't do that.
708
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,920
Like, no, that ain't that's not
what a head coach does.
709
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,400
He was definitely too loyal to
other coaches, too loyal to
710
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,560
players.
If that would have been a real
711
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,680
coach like you would have been
seeing him get in somebody's
712
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,920
ass.
Like, bro, you can't RIP the
713
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640
quarterback's helmet off.
Can't RIP nobody's helmet off,
714
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,720
but you RIP the quarterback's
helmet off by getting beat 28 to
715
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:50,520
0.
So oh, it's true.
716
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,160
It's.
Perfect, perfect.
717
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,720
Perfect way to put it, Curtis.
There you go.
718
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:57,560
Loyalty.
Loyalty will get you sometimes.
719
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,200
All right, let me ask y'all this
real quick now.
720
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,200
Right now we're in the 30 day
portal window.
721
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,840
Dante Lovett jumped in it as
quick as he could and then you
722
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,360
get 2026 Thomas Wilder
decommits.
723
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,800
Does any of that shit even
matter right now to y'all
724
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,400
Doesn't.
Matter to you, Somebody else
725
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,280
just be committed too.
I don't know, one of the kids
726
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,880
just be committed a few minutes
ago, maybe an hour ago or
727
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,280
something.
I will.
728
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,680
You know it doesn't.
Matter.
729
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Let me see who it was.
But it does it.
730
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,680
None of that matters because.
Don't kill me.
731
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,400
I'm not saying we getting this
person, but if they go hire
732
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,680
Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, does
it matter who decommitted or who
733
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,400
jumped in the portal?
Because who you bring in is
734
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,520
going to attract a certain crowd
anyway.
735
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,680
You know, even if you bring in
damn Mullen or you bring in Huff
736
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,440
or you bring in something.
John Group, whoever.
737
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,520
You bring in, yeah, whoever you
bring in is going to attract a
738
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,160
different crowd anyway.
So people decommitting or, you
739
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,080
know, people getting in the
portal, It, it's part of it, it
740
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,080
has to happen.
I I think we're in.
741
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,480
An era too where it does not
matter as much anymore, right?
742
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,000
With the portal, with so much
movement.
743
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,440
And I think that you was always
an issue.
744
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,040
Like, how many times did people
say you you got to hold on to
745
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,920
the recruiting class?
Yeah.
746
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,200
And now you kind of think back
like that might have been the
747
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,160
dumbest damn thing ever because
what if they don't fit what you
748
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,080
do?
All you're doing is getting
749
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,640
bodies.
You don't need bodies.
750
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,920
You need people that can play
football and in your style of
751
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,440
football.
So all right.
752
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,040
So we it doesn't matter.
Tally's trying to effort.
753
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,240
Sorry I I had not been on SO
KJKJ.
754
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,480
Gillespie.
Cameron.
755
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,760
Gillespie, that's the big kid.
From the big D tackle down in
756
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,800
North Carolina, right?
Yes, all right.
757
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,400
Oh, he's a defensive.
End linebacker.
758
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:57,160
Yeah, yeah.
OK, so it to me they don't
759
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,480
matter anymore because I know
some people I heard in in y'all
760
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,360
mind I've seen this Saturday
night.
761
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,480
Do they want to wait a couple
weeks and make sure these guys
762
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,120
can't Portland, Who gives a
shit?
763
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:11,560
Who cares?
Because if, if they're going to
764
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,960
leave, they'll leave in
December.
765
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,880
Yeah, you got to let the kid.
Do what's what they going to do
766
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,080
for themselves, you know what
I'm saying?
767
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,160
Like they got to try to find
somewhere to go.
768
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,960
They understand it's going to be
a new regime coming in and they
769
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,840
may not, you know, they may not
jive with them.
770
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,680
You know, you see that happen
all the time.
771
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,120
They're going to want to bring
certain kids in.
772
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,960
They're going to want to bring
kids to fit their their style
773
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,240
and what they do.
So I don't I don't that's part
774
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:37,320
of what happens.
A kid is going to get in the
775
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,400
portal to try to find a better
spot for himself.
776
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,960
To me it's actually.
Really good because you get to
777
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,680
make a choice because by all
means Dante Levitt jumped in
778
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,000
great, that's his choice.
Now what would suck is if they
779
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,560
bring in some stud defensive
coach, man, only go play for
780
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,480
them.
Homie, you got in the portal the
781
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,400
day you could, first day you
could.
782
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,480
And now you go, you have to walk
into that office and be like,
783
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,720
hey, I'd like to play here.
Like dude, you left day one,
784
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,840
right?
That's the choice you.
785
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:13,240
Make again, these are 18 to 23
year old guys and some people
786
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:14,680
say well, you can't let them
make No, let them.
787
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
This is how you learn.
It's how you learn things in
788
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,800
life.
You make a choice.
789
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,440
It is it is completely on him
now.
790
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:24,080
So I really for Dante, I really
hope they don't bring in some
791
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,440
stud corner coach to hope they
do.
792
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,720
I don't need him, but we need
it.
793
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,560
He wants it all.
Right.
794
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,480
Let me ask you all this, just
just in general, because some
795
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,320
people are saying this team has
no talent.
796
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,960
I don't believe that.
I think there's some talented
797
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,880
people on this team that can
play.
798
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,240
Do y'all think this team is is
talentless?
799
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,320
No, I don't think we're.
Talentless, I think we have some
800
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,000
talent.
We don't have a we're not super
801
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,800
deep.
We don't have a lot of talent.
802
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:01,800
I mean, it's it's been showing,
but a lot of that talent that
803
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,280
may be there, we can't see
because we don't have people who
804
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,600
do how to coach them because it
seems like everybody who leaves
805
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,440
is getting better because
they're going to get real
806
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,880
coaching and then they're doing
better.
807
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,240
So people who are on the roster
are talented.
808
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:18,960
But you know, is it is it the
coaching that the reason that
809
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,480
they aren't reaching their their
ceiling?
810
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,600
Who knows?
You know, Andretti said it no
811
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,520
heart.
You're playing with no heart.
812
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,120
I've seen, I've seen and again,
I said this before and I'm not
813
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,000
pointing any kid out.
I'm pointing this kid out but.
814
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,800
I seen.
Jaden Keller go up in the hole
815
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,360
and hit OD us running back and
get threw off when he outweighs
816
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,680
him.
Probably about 30 lbs got
817
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,160
through to the side and they get
the the running back runs for
818
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,320
about four yards sometimes.
That doesn't have to do with who
819
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,840
low man wins.
That doesn't have to do with how
820
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,960
strong you are.
That kid just wanted it more
821
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,200
than we did.
That team wanted it more than
822
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,280
us, you know, when you were able
to get four and five yards,
823
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,520
Basil Tooten did it all the
time, you know, so.
824
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,800
I don't know man.
It's just, you know, yeah,
825
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,800
somebody said Kyron sliding
before the 1st down.
826
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,960
He he never, I've never seen him
slide.
827
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,360
Even when he when he dives, he
goes head 1st and I'm like, why
828
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,080
are you diving?
Why are you going head first,
829
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,480
man?
You know, sometimes you got to
830
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,360
get out of bounds and sometimes
you got to not take a hit.
831
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,240
He slid not even thinking about
getting the first down.
832
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,360
That's just no heart, man.
You know, that was a team that's
833
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,840
done.
That was for whatever reason, a
834
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,600
coach that's done, a team that's
done.
835
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,840
There's no heart on that team.
So it don't matter if you Got
836
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,960
Talent OR not.
I think we Got Talent.
837
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,920
I think we have no, no, no
heart.
838
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,560
I I think the most.
Jarring thing for me was just to
839
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,960
see the the quit level, like,
you know, to the point where
840
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,360
like if I'm a player in that
locker room, like, dude, are you
841
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,760
kidding me?
Like you, you, you, you So what,
842
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,000
like you give a couple
touchdowns at Vanderbilt and
843
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,240
then you just completely
implode.
844
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:04,880
Like if I'm a leader in that
locker room thinking like, you
845
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,400
know, kind of like what what
Rick Pitino has said in that,
846
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,720
that, that that halftime
speeches, like who raised you?
847
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:13,080
Like you got to be able to deal
with adversity better than that.
848
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,080
So I don't know, man, I I think
we've got some talent.
849
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,000
Like I think that D lines got
some dogs, you know, I think
850
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,200
we've got some good running
backs, receivers I think have
851
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,120
some potential Current to me has
just kind of been an enigma.
852
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,160
Like I feel like he's kind of
his temperature is kind of
853
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,760
whatever the temperature of the
team is.
854
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,120
It's just really up and down.
So I don't know, it's just,
855
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,600
it's, it's hard to, it's hard to
evaluate when, you know, you
856
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,320
just have a team that just does
not have any sort of resiliency.
857
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,040
And the moment that they, they
face adversity, they just hold
858
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,000
like, you know, I think they
could, they could play better if
859
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,920
maybe they, you know, we're,
we're better coach and they,
860
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,720
they were, you know, more
passionate about, you know, the
861
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:57,880
product they put on the field
and they took pride in playing
862
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,120
for Vt and, you know, playing
for each other, but we just
863
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,800
haven't really seen that.
So it's just it's just hard to
864
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,160
say when you have the when you
have those, you know, external,
865
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,920
those external factors kind of
playing, playing, playing right
866
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,920
now a team full.
Of thermometers, everybody's
867
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,800
gauging the temperature and and
let there be no thermostats.
868
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,080
Ain't nobody changing the
temperature on that day.
869
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,920
I'm telling man, that's bars.
That's bars.
870
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,400
That is that.
Is bars man.
871
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,760
Respect on that tally.
Well, well somebody has been
872
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,840
charged with doing that for the
rest of this season and that is
873
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,000
going to be Philip Montgomery's
going to be the interim coach
874
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,200
and a a lot of people are like
why not JC maybe get Fontelle a
875
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,920
chance in tell you led last time
Shelton, in your opinion,
876
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,000
Shelton made a switch here.
The computer died.
877
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,440
Is it the right move?
Is it?
878
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,600
Yeah, take your time.
It is the right move I.
879
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,720
Think, you know, obviously JC is
very well respected by the Hokie
880
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:05,640
community, rightfully so, but I
think Monty's just got kind of
881
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,120
got that built in head coach
experience.
882
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,240
So you could tell, you know, at,
at his press conference
883
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,520
yesterday, he, he, he seemed to
be, you know, taking a very
884
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,080
active leadership role in the
same, you know, we're looking at
885
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,920
changing some things, changing
the tempo practice, which I, I
886
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,600
really like.
Apparently, you know, the guys
887
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,040
are playing pretty slow recently
practicing, I guess maybe some
888
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,560
of that was because they were
banged up a little bit.
889
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,440
But I mean, he's got several
years of head coaching
890
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,000
experience.
I think he's kind of guy that
891
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,960
you want leading in your program
right now in, in these difficult
892
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,480
times.
The thing with JC is like, OK,
893
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,560
we all know he's a Hokie legend,
but you know, do we really want
894
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,280
him to, you know, have his have
his legacy be potentially
895
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,680
tarnished if this team goes, you
know, 3 and 9 and and how does
896
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,080
how does he respond if, if they
do start losing like that, like
897
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,920
1 and 11?
True.
898
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,960
Yeah, that too.
So, so how is he he able to, you
899
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,800
know, route the troops in that
situation?
900
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,360
I, I think, I think I, I trust
Monty's instincts and I feel
901
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,240
like he's the supreme adults in
the room that kind of get these
902
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,280
guys together and hopefully win
a couple of games.
903
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,320
I know we're not going to win
many, but hopefully we can win a
904
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,880
couple and win the last one too.
No, I agree.
905
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,440
I.
Think that, you know, that's the
906
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:10,640
right move.
You don't want to be in this
907
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,120
situation, but here we are.
And Montgomery probably is.
908
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,160
Is, is the guy who out of the
coaching staff is the closest to
909
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,640
being a head coach somewhere
else, You know, so he's going to
910
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,760
probably take it.
I'm not saying the other coaches
911
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,080
won't take it serious.
He's probably going to take it
912
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,080
the most serious and try to
build something to to get
913
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,480
somewhere else, you know, to to
go to his next stop.
914
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,320
JC.
He went down to the, you know,
915
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,920
in the UVA game and he won that
and, you know, was emotional.
916
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,040
And then this is my home.
This is that's what you want to
917
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,600
remember him as you know what
I'm saying?
918
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,520
You don't want him to remember
him for what?
919
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,440
What this bullshit that's going
to go on this year.
920
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,800
I'm going to tell you right now
we about to get curb stopped by
921
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,240
some of these teams.
I ain't going to I don't even
922
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,320
want I'm going to have to watch.
You know what I'm saying?
923
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:02,800
I got to go through it, but it's
going to be bad man all.
924
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,120
Right.
We'll give you all my opinion on
925
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,240
this because it's a logical 1.
In 2021 when everything
926
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:13,360
happened, a we had 2D line
coaches.
927
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,000
That was the one big thing.
That's why you could let JC do
928
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,280
it.
But it was for a three-game
929
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,400
stretch.
And at that point in time the
930
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,680
team was, I believe, four and
six, right?
931
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,880
Four and six or five and six,
five and five.
932
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,440
The team, it wasn't downtrodden
like this.
933
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,040
You needed an emotional jolt to
that team.
934
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,480
You got it.
They went.
935
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,800
They banged with Miami for 3/4.
They ended up losing.
936
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,000
They beat UVA next week.
You needed the JC price.
937
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,560
You needed the emotional leader.
It's nine games.
938
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,280
Emotion is not going to get you
through nine games.
939
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,080
It might get you 2 through a
three.
940
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,000
But Montgomery?
Eight years at Tulsa.
941
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,400
He's been a head coach eight
years.
942
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,120
That's what you need.
You need.
943
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,360
Someone with structure, like you
said, Shelton, you made a
944
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,080
perfect point.
He's already talking about we
945
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,560
might need to do some things
different.
946
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,760
And the thing that really always
caught my ear, this, I know his
947
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,880
head coach speak and tell these
guys, listen, it ain't over yet.
948
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,200
We're three games in.
You can write your story, right?
949
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,640
Trying to get that buy in back
from him to say, yeah, you got
950
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,640
in the shit kicked out of you
the first three weeks of the
951
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,960
season.
We got 9 left.
952
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,240
You go back and do something
stupid like win 5 or 6 games,
953
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,000
think what you're going to be,
think of people how will think
954
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,600
how people will think of you,
how the next coach will think of
955
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,120
you, how going through the
portal and look at my tape.
956
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,560
I didn't quit, I fought back.
I tried everything I could.
957
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:43,880
It might get you the extra
30,000 on the NIL deal next
958
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,160
year.
So I mean.
959
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,440
It's.
Yeah, you audition, you go out
960
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:53,080
there and you bust your ass.
So I'm, I'm with y'all.
961
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,920
It's the right move.
I think there's no chance in
962
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,240
hell he is a full time coach and
if somebody put that in there, I
963
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:02,160
think Phil fucking with us,
there's no way he's going to be
964
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,320
the head coach unless he does
something really stupid.
965
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,120
There's only. 1.
If he goes not in, no.
966
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,520
Man, I'd I'd fucking consider
I'm.
967
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,560
Taking not a no going to the ACC
Championship.
968
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,920
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if he did that, I mean, if
969
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,120
he if he does that, you got to
give him something, right?
970
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,240
But I don't see that.
I don't see that either.
971
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:20,240
I.
Don't see that but.
972
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:22,640
If it does, you know, crazy
things have happened.
973
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:27,920
If he somehow just goes on a run
and we are in contention for the
974
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:32,160
the ACC, I'd be like damn, you
know, maybe this is the guy was
975
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,840
here.
They they hired they hired the
976
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,760
right head coach.
They just didn't put him in the
977
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,160
right spot the year before or
the year up.
978
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,280
Let's get to this real quick.
Sheldon, I know you're running
979
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,480
low on battery.
We we we ain't got too much more
980
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,040
to go here before we hit all my
predictions and then big screens
981
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,160
and we'll wrap her up.
So not the longest episode
982
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,920
tonight, because it's Wofford
and God damn it, we better be
983
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,520
Wofford.
But.
984
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,160
What are your?
Expectations for this team.
985
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,200
There's nine games left Starfoot
Wofford this week.
986
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,800
Wofford State Wake, Georgia
Tech.
987
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,040
Cal.
Louisville, Florida State.
988
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,480
Miami, Virginia.
What are your?
989
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,920
Expectations.
Well, I can tell you.
990
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,240
They're not very high.
I was looking at some of the
991
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:24,320
numbers from SP Plus right now
our our win projection is 3 and
992
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,080
9.
So not ideal.
993
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,440
We don't know where there's
where those two wins are going
994
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,840
to come from.
There's two FBS wins.
995
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:35,040
But I would say from a holistic
perspective, like just show some
996
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,640
compete level, like show that
you care about, about the
997
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,600
program and about, you know,
playing with that Virginia Tech
998
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,760
in your chest.
And, you know, like I said,
999
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,280
playing for the guys, playing
for the coaching staff and the,
1000
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,600
and the guys that are, you know,
next to in the trenches.
1001
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,120
I just think like I, I certainly
think they're more talented than
1002
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,680
what they've shown.
Now how much better again, we'll
1003
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,400
see, but I don't, I don't want
them to to just look at this
1004
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,440
season like a waste.
Like we're we're all paying for
1005
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,640
this product, man.
Like we are technically we are
1006
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,960
paying your salaries.
We are paying for if you are a
1007
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,720
donor, if you're a donor, you
are paying for these guys
1008
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:08,000
salaries.
So if I'm going to check out, I
1009
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,800
think does a disservice to donor
ticket purchaser.
1010
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,960
Right to the.
Institution so just just show
1011
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,240
that you care and just go out
there and win some games, man.
1012
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:17,920
Like, don't, don't worry about
the outcomes because we know
1013
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:19,760
this team probably isn't going
to go a ball game, man.
1014
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,280
Just play for pride, all right?
Look who is pride?
1015
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,360
Not pride, just so y'all know.
Correct.
1016
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,360
Yes.
All right, Tally, I'm going.
1017
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,000
To bring somebody's joining us
here.
1018
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,080
Look who?
Look who's taking a little
1019
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,120
sabbatical from his vacation.
This dude.
1020
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:41,080
This dude is dedicated.
Look at this dude man.
1021
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,320
Y'all don't know Brian is on
vacation right now.
1022
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,040
He has decided to pop in.
I can't tell if he's drunk or
1023
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,560
high or neither or just how.
In life, all of them I don't.
1024
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,880
Know no, I'm I'm exhausted is
what I am, but I'm here.
1025
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,640
What's up guys?
Probably got fired.
1026
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,600
Probably got fired.
It's crazy.
1027
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:01,240
Phil.
Phil.
1028
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,920
Phil thinks that.
The AD is going.
1029
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:10,200
To be here in 2026 and Monty's
going to be the coach in 2026,
1030
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,000
just for a year.
So I need you to call Phil and
1031
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,040
get him right.
I know at least one of.
1032
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:17,920
Those is probably not going to
be true, so.
1033
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,360
We'll see what happens with the
other one.
1034
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,880
If we win nine in a row,
whatever, whatever y'all were
1035
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,480
talking about, then somebody
said it's.
1036
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,200
Brian with pry.
It's Brian with Pry.
1037
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:34,080
I've not seen pry in.
Orlando I can I can that I have
1038
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,800
not seen pry in Orlando.
Oh man.
1039
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,640
Well, Brian, let me.
Let me pitch to you.
1040
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:44,600
What's your expectation?
For the rest of the season, 9
1041
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:51,160
games left.
If we win two more than the
1042
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,000
Wofford game, I would be
surprised.
1043
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,600
So give me, I think 3 is kind of
my that that's my over underline
1044
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:02,200
three 3 1/2 would be kind of
where I'm putting the the wins
1045
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,480
for the rest of the year.
All right.
1046
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,240
Yeah, I'd say.
Three, you know, if if you get
1047
00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:10,200
3, three wins out of the the
rest of the games, I'd be like,
1048
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,880
OK, you know, not that we did
good, but it'd be probably
1049
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,200
exceeding my expectations from
now on because I'm never going
1050
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,600
to say we're going to lose the
to to UVA just because I don't
1051
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,520
think they know how to beat us.
It don't matter what's going on.
1052
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,720
They find a way to give us the
game, hopefully Wofford this
1053
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:31,240
week and then you mess around
and play somebody like a Wake
1054
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:35,120
Forest and luck up and win.
So I'm just looking at it like
1055
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,640
that, you know, three wins is
about what I expect.
1056
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,360
I'm counting here.
It's like somebody said like 2
1057
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,600
outside Wofford.
Wofford.
1058
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,160
I think we can beat Wake.
I think we'll be, I'm going to
1059
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,640
go forward.
I think they're going, they're
1060
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,200
going to fuck up somebody's
season.
1061
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,280
Probably and and hold on.
I don't know, let's let's
1062
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,120
discuss that for a second.
If it was one team season we
1063
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,440
could fuck up, who would y'all
want it to be?
1064
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,200
It's got to be who it.
Is it's got to be Miami for me,
1065
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,920
but Miami, yeah.
I would.
1066
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,440
I would definitely say Miami
ain't.
1067
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,600
Nobody.
But I don't think it's going to
1068
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,720
happen but.
I'm just saying like that's what
1069
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:15,800
we want, right?
Like it's going.
1070
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,200
To be.
Miami, man, it's got to be
1071
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,640
Miami, right?
They're going to come.
1072
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,040
Down here in November and it's
going to be like a 41�� rainy
1073
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,200
miserable day going fuck up the
snaps.
1074
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,120
We'll block a pun or something.
Then we go in like 2117.
1075
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:37,680
Yeah, it'd have to be it.
It would be Miami's destiny for
1076
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,400
something like that to happen.
11 and 10.
1077
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,560
And O coming in.
It's A2 win, Virginia.
1078
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,560
Tech team.
And we just.
1079
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,720
Ruin.
That whole season.
1080
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:54,760
All right, so let's roll on.
Is anybody not predicting to
1081
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,480
win?
Against Wofford.
1082
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,840
They're O and three, they're
literally the worst, I think the
1083
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,320
worst offense in the FCS right
now.
1084
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,920
If they ain't the worst, they're
pretty low.
1085
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,520
Let's just do like.
Let's just do, like Brian said
1086
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,720
last last week, we got to keep
predicting to lose because
1087
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:13,520
that's what they keep doing.
So let's just say everybody do
1088
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,840
it this week, you know, if they
lose this one.
1089
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,400
You got to just.
Send the whole athletic
1090
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,280
department to the moon, to the
to the.
1091
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:27,880
Moon all right, there we go.
So hey, it's the it's.
1092
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,480
The It's the Mike Young ball, by
the way.
1093
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,080
Oh yeah.
Young ball Walker.
1094
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,840
There we go.
That there's a program that's
1095
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,080
saying speaking my gun.
Can't wait for basketball
1096
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,760
season.
At least we've actually got some
1097
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,840
expectations there.
Do you think basketball?
1098
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,920
Is going to be good, Sheldon.
I think they'll be solid.
1099
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,280
They'll be a solid team.
Yeah, you do.
1100
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,000
OK, I.
Haven't worthy or bubble?
1101
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Worthy bubble.
Worthy.
1102
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:50,400
Bubble worthy.
I haven't.
1103
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,320
Paid attention.
At all.
1104
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,800
So I can't hate you.
Well, except the Greek.
1105
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,000
Kid, you've been paying
attention.
1106
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
I mean, everybody's been.
Talking about that.
1107
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,480
So yeah, you had to look at that
a little bit, but other than
1108
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,400
that, don't know nothing is is
Toby Lawal still on the team?
1109
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,640
Toby Lawal still on the.
Team OK, come back.
1110
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,240
OK, we might we.
Might have some excitement at
1111
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:08,680
least.
Hey, as of.
1112
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:13,600
Right now, our starting point
guard didn't get busted in a
1113
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:19,520
point shaving scandal.
Decided he wasn't.
1114
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,040
Going to play this year or you
know.
1115
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:22,640
Any other?
Thing that's.
1116
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:23,920
Happened the last five.
Years.
1117
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,520
I just went to mess that stuff.
All right, so we don't have the
1118
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,360
fun graphics this week, but
we're all predicting a win
1119
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,200
against Wofford and we don't
have the graphic.
1120
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,400
But I'm going to tell you what
for me, Brian and Tally last
1121
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,720
week, that kicked us in the
nuts.
1122
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,640
Me and Tally went O and four,
Brian went one and three.
1123
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,520
Shelton great job 500 for the
week on those games.
1124
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,440
Horrible.
It was.
1125
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,440
Horrible.
So currently right now, Shelton
1126
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,560
leads the way at six and six.
I'm at 5:00 and 7:00.
1127
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,320
Brian and Tally tied at 4:00 and
8:00 on the season.
1128
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:06,160
So don't don't bet with me.
Guys, don't bet.
1129
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,040
With Shelton, you'll break even.
There you go.
1130
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,280
You know what I'm I'm doing.
Pretty good picking these hokey
1131
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,640
games though.
We hope you're right this week
1132
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:18,040
Brian is 3 and O picking hokey
game this year.
1133
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,760
So we do have big screeners this
week and we were in the chat
1134
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:31,640
looking at Hey Phil.
I feel you, Phil.
1135
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,640
Tell, tell us which game.
That's what Phil's going to do.
1136
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,560
Phil is one of our sponsors
here.
1137
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,560
You tell us what to fade.
Who who are you fading as you
1138
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,360
listen to these?
But we were looking this is a
1139
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,920
good week of college football
legitimately like, like, you
1140
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,320
know, it's a lot of good games.
Nothing like, Oh my God, it's 2
1141
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:58,680
versus 3 or one versus 4, but a
lot of really good games.
1142
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:03,240
And I'll start it off here.
Let's go to Miami.
1143
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,280
It's Florida.
It's Miami.
1144
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,720
Miami laying 7 1/2.
For some reason, Billy Napier
1145
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,520
thought it was smart to let DJ
Lagway throw the ball 50 times
1146
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,200
in Death Valley.
That man, how he has not been
1147
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:21,440
fired, I do not know.
Miami is rolling the built to my
1148
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,880
city.
Crystal Ball got the trenches
1149
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,720
built.
They got a quarterback that's
1150
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,080
operating efficiently and I'm
all straight up say this.
1151
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:33,800
I think they hammer Florida.
I think they hammer Florida. 7
1152
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,280
1/2 is not enough.
Billy Napier is the next coach
1153
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,920
fired on Sunday morning after he
gets waxed down in South Beach.
1154
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,720
Crime man.
I'm going to go to the opposite.
1155
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,240
Of you, I think Florida keeps it
close.
1156
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,280
I think it's going to be a
Florida team that is motivated
1157
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,440
to do they cover them.
If you told me Miami was going,
1158
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,120
was still going to cover, I
think, I think.
1159
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,400
They're still going to cover,
but I think they're going to
1160
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,040
keep it close.
Is he?
1161
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:11,080
Fired they would be OK.
He keeps the fired regardless.
1162
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:16,320
Regardless, OK, Cali, Miami.
Miami.
1163
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,440
Napier win that.
Game he's fired.
1164
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,280
That's basically where I'm at
if.
1165
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,120
If Napier don't win, he's fired.
Well, him and Brent.
1166
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,960
Pride are going to be in Bahamas
together because he's not
1167
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:33,240
winning.
Yeah, I'm pulling.
1168
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,000
Up my.
I think you're going to say
1169
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,480
yeah.
I'm taking taking Miami.
1170
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,640
I thought that for a second.
I feel like Florida is probably
1171
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,520
due for, for a win, but like, I
also, I don't know, I, I feel
1172
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,120
like they're, they're going to
tank with Napier.
1173
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,200
I just I, I, I don't, I don't
get good vibes from that
1174
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,560
program.
So they quit.
1175
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,120
Yeah, I really like.
My Are they quitting Saturday?
1176
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:56,000
Night.
I think so too, I think.
1177
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,560
They're going to, I think
they're going to throw in the
1178
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:58,960
towels.
So I got Miami.
1179
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,360
Miami.
All right, tally you up next.
1180
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,560
What's your game, big guy?
My game.
1181
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,240
Was did I pick Auburn and
Oklahoma?
1182
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,480
You did.
And Oklahoma -7 1/2 my second
1183
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,720
favorite.
Team Auburn, you know, But guess
1184
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:16,960
what?
I think they're going to lose.
1185
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:23,960
I got I got Oklahoma, man.
I just think that Auburn, again,
1186
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,600
I do pay attention to Auburn
probably the second most out of
1187
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,880
all teams besides Virginia Tech.
And Auburn has just been running
1188
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,480
the ball for some reason.
They had really good wide
1189
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,280
receivers and they have not used
them at all.
1190
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,960
So I think this is going to be a
week that they use them.
1191
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,320
And if you haven't been using
them, I don't know what you look
1192
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,120
like.
So I think Oklahoma's going to
1193
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,680
get it, Sheldon.
Jimmy.
1194
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:53,400
Oklahoma.
All right, that's a.
1195
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,320
Change in the pic there you had
all the shoot.
1196
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,720
Dang it, Dang it.
Oh, I was reading off the wrong.
1197
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,240
See, this is what happens when I
don't prepare.
1198
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:04,920
You're not preparing.
You're.
1199
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,520
Still really good, Sheldon.
Because I was.
1200
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,000
It's because I was reading.
Off Tally's Tally's thing, not
1201
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,080
mine.
Yes, I am taking Auburn.
1202
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,760
I do remember I picked Auburn.
But hey, who cares?
1203
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,240
I just hope it's a good game.
I think it will be.
1204
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,920
Brian.
Yeah, give me Auburn as.
1205
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,120
Well, I.
Think it's going to be a good
1206
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:23,240
game?
But I think Auburn's going to
1207
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:24,640
come to play.
They looked a little bit better
1208
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,440
last week so.
Let's see.
1209
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:29,440
I'm around with Tally on this
one.
1210
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,760
I think Oklahoma's going to win.
It's in Oklahoma.
1211
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,160
John Mateer and his arm angle
throws is unbelievable.
1212
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,120
I think he lights up that
defense.
1213
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,280
I still think it's a good game.
I think it's going to be a
1214
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:47,600
shootout like 3828.
Oklahoma pulls away an
1215
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,160
entertaining game on Saturday
night.
1216
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,600
Luckily our game's at 12 so I
can enjoy the rest of the day
1217
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,360
all righty.
Shelton.
1218
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,240
Let's go.
I am.
1219
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,160
Super excited about this game at
Texas.
1220
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,840
Texas Tech against Utah for some
reason.
1221
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,200
It's a 10 AM local kick.
I don't ask me about that. 12
1222
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,760
PM. 12:00 PM.
For us normal people on the East
1223
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,720
Coast, I, I went Utah.
They're sort of like my closet
1224
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,840
team just because I want
Virginia Tech to be like them.
1225
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,560
So I I am going with the Utah
youths.
1226
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:24,320
And that line is -3 1/2, Shelton
taking the point they're laying
1227
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:30,320
3 1/2, say, in Utah.
I'm with you on this one,
1228
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,520
Shelton.
I do believe that Texas Tech,
1229
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,080
they paid a lot of money it a 10
AM kick.
1230
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,040
That's.
Miserable.
1231
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,360
I don't care who you are.
That's miserable.
1232
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,480
You can't tailgate or unless you
get there, like 4:00 AM, the
1233
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:52,240
game's over by like one or two.
So Utah.
1234
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,920
Utah by a touchdown.
The money don't pay for wins,
1235
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,520
Ryan.
Yeah, give me Utah.
1236
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,680
As well, I think, I think they
almost win.
1237
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,200
That's going away.
Not not quite a blowout, but it
1238
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:13,160
could be at least 2 touchdowns.
All right, Texas Tech.
1239
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,800
Grand, We're going to go with
the Red Raiders.
1240
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,480
They're going to be inspired by
Michael Crabtree and go get a
1241
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,480
win all.
Right there we go.
1242
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,600
Got that.
Three of us on Utah.
1243
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,920
Cali says guns up.
That's one of my closet teams.
1244
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,760
I'm all I like Texas Tech when
Mike Bleach was there.
1245
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,680
Guns up, baby, guns up.
Brian, you got the last one.
1246
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,520
Where are we going, man?
We're we're heading.
1247
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,680
To Indiana man Illinois,
Indiana.
1248
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,600
Baby.
Yeah, maybe, maybe a.
1249
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,920
Future hokey coach in this game,
but I've got I've got Indiana
1250
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,520
taking this one.
Is Indiana. -5 1/2 Brian takes
1251
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,960
Indiana who who did the whoever
did the 2GO next?
1252
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,760
Is that he?
It was me.
1253
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,960
I don't think that I, I seen a
couple people put that in the
1254
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:09,320
chat earlier saying seeing to to
VTi don't see it, but who knows,
1255
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,320
man, money talks.
So I'm going to say Indiana,
1256
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:13,880
though I think Indiana's going
to take this one.
1257
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,640
Shelton.
Yeah, remind me what?
1258
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,440
The spread is because I can't
see it on mobile.
1259
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,840
It's 5.
And a half and you texted me
1260
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,520
earlier.
Illinois, yes, right.
1261
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:27,920
Yeah.
No, I'm taking Illinois.
1262
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,280
The reason being is the thing
I'm concerned about Indiana is
1263
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,000
that they've not been challenged
at all and they're now going to
1264
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,960
face a top ten team.
I just don't like the way that
1265
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,520
the game is set up because
they've played three absolute
1266
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,880
cream puffs to this point of the
season.
1267
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:43,280
O do.
You.
1268
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,480
Yeah, well.
To be fair, O do you, hey, no
1269
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,360
one O do you will walk into
Wayne Stadium.
1270
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,160
They'll whip you around.
So respect O do you.
1271
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:55,040
But otherwise, yes.
Oh my God, Ed Shelton, I'm
1272
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,440
running along with you.
I like Illinois in this game
1273
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,360
with it.
If if they were laying 5 1/2, I
1274
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:02,920
like them.
I think Illinois is the better
1275
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,960
team.
Illinois.
1276
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,880
I don't think this is a great
Duke team.
1277
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,600
I think it's a solid Duke team
and they basically punched them
1278
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,640
and then just ran away from
later 4519 earlier this year.
1279
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,320
Brett Bieber looking coach.
He always has been.
1280
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,040
Able to coach, he's always had
good philosophies.
1281
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,800
He is a good head coach.
I think he would have done good
1282
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,680
at Virginia Tech.
I think Kirk Cignetti would do
1283
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,880
good at Virginia Tech because
they can coach football. 5 1/2
1284
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,640
Give me that Illinois win at
least 5 touchdowns.
1285
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,960
So so there it is.
No cool graphic this week
1286
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:46,480
because Brian's on vacay down in
Orlando, Cal Anybody else at the
1287
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,360
portal or anybody else
decommitted?
1288
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,680
No, not that I.
See, I mean, I expect to see a
1289
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,920
couple of them of it happening
here soon.
1290
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,920
But you know, we get Nick Saban.
Everybody will come back.
1291
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,880
So don't worry about it.
Everybody will come back.
1292
01:07:59,960 --> 01:08:03,080
Nick Saban, That's it.
He, he needs he, he was born and
1293
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,720
raised in West Virginia.
That's the closest thing he can
1294
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,320
come as Virginia Tech to retire
for a few last seasons.
1295
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,480
So there we go.
All right with that.
1296
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,160
