DEION SANDERS INTERVIEWING FOR FSU JOB?! Coach Prime to Florida State HEATING UP?! · FSU Football: Doak Talk

  Speaker 1: All right, guys. Let's move on to Deion Sanders. Deion Sanders.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Popular name, right? I know Colorado fans. Well, I ain't
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: going to say Colorado fans. The primetime bandwagoners that we've
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: been seeing on Twitter. The cult of primetime bandwagoners. They've
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: been kind of pushing for this. It's kind of like LeBron, man.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: That shit reminds me of LeBron fan base. They're just
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: trying to transition to their next damn team to try
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to infiltrate in that type of deal and be leeches.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what's happening with the primetime crazies over at Colorado. Hey,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: they're looking at Florida State and trying to make that push.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about it a little bit. It would
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: be a marketing dream, right? I think he would be
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: able to attract top Florida guys to come to FSU
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: just off the strength. He says all the time he
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is hard to find in the FSU. He really wouldn't
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: be hard to find at all. like it would be
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that easy. And that's part of the reason why I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: wanted him to take the South Florida job instead of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the Colorado job way back when, because I felt like
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it had been easier from that G5 level to come
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in and dominate South Florida and be in contention for
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the college football playoffs. You're in Florida, you're in Tampa,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a few hours from his hometown of Fort Myers. You're
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: going to instantly, just like you did to Colorado, you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going to instantly bring economic growth to the area. Colorado's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: attendance was down. You hire a prime, they're selling out games.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: The exact same thing would have happened at South Florida.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Him being at South Florida, I think annually he would
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: have plucked a recruit from either Florida, Florida State, or
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Miami that one of the big three teams wanted. He
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: would have got at least one recruit per cycle, in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: my opinion, from one of those schools. Middle of the grade, four-star,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that type of deal. He would have got one prospect
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: at Florida, Florida State, or Miami. prioritize highly, in my opinion, Angle.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: He would have got at least one. Those are the pros.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Not a lot, really. Cons. How serious are you as
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a head coach? This shit takes work. How serious are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you as a head coach? It truly takes work. College
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: football coaches, that shit is a grind. How serious are you?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You have the whole notion that he doesn't do visits.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: He doesn't go on campus. He doesn't go into the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: houses and that type of deal. Really, bro? Really. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I got flack from the Colorado Colts fans on this
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: because I feel that's lazy. That's a lazy recruiting tactic,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, to not do in-home visits. The greatest
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: coach of all time, Nick Saban, did in-home visits. In-home
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: visits and he recruited high school. Kirby Smart does in-home
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: visits and visited high schools. Ryan Day does in-home. He
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: visits kids. Mario Cristobal, he visits these kids. Bobby Bowden,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the head coach that you play for, that you love
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: so much, that you hold in such a high regard,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: one of the best head coaches of all time, prioritizes visits,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in-home visits. You talk about Mickey Andrews coming to your
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: basketball game to see you playing as a recruit. You
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: have highlighted that. You have spoken about that. Hell no! Like, right.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: If those guys can do it, why can't you do it?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You aren't bigger than the program as a head coach, bro.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And I think you may think that because, granted,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you're still prime time. Huge personality. One of the most
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: personable athletes you will, colorful athletes you will ever see.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He's just a walking, he's just walking, I don't know
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the word to use. He's just so damn marketable where
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he's just a walking, Walking market, I don't know the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: damn word to use, man. But whatever that is, he's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that guy. I get that. But, bro, this is football, man. Like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you want the biggest fish in the pond to come
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to this. These players matter more. These players come first.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Not you as a head coach. Not you, your ego,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to say I'm not hard to find. Like, come see
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: me at Colorado? Bro. These kids just aren't coming just because...
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: At a certain time, it could have been that. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it was in the beginning just because of your name.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: They could try to come at that. But once you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: start actually playing on the field and putting out subpar performances, product,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you're not putting in the resources to actually recruit me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: These kids want to be... They're divas. Simple as that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They want to be courted. They want to feel the love.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They want to feel that. They want that. You have to...
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You have to press them. You have to You have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to do all of that. You have to do all that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So that's one of the reasons. I just can't get
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: behind that. And their recruiting rankings have struggled in due
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to that. I mean, they haven't recruited well at all. Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you get you a splash player every now and then.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You get the offensive tackle. Of course, Travis on that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: type of deal. But getting one of those players every
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: few cycles isn't enough to win at Colorado. And it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: damn sure it isn't enough to win at the high
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: level that Florida State demands, right? So he also mentioned
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that if he went to one high school, he would
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have to go to all the high schools in the area. Dion,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: my brother, that's the point. That is the point. You
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: build those relationships. You never know what those schools' coaches
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: will have from a talent standpoint in the future. They
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: may not have the kid you want right now, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in two years, they could have that guy. But you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: didn't build those relationships in the beginning. When you first
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: got the job with those coaches, you're behind the eight
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: ball with that guy. So you have to build those
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: relationships within the school, the areas within those schools. You
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: got to hit every damn school within the area because
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you never know what those guys will have. Recruiting is
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all about relationships, man. It's all about relationships. You have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to build those relationships in my opinion. Um, You never
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: know what those schools' coaches will have from a talent
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: standpoint in the future. That's why you have to keep
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: going by that. And let's be frank, man. The CU
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: experience has been a disaster. Yeah, I get it. They
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: were really bad prior to prime getting there. But outside
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of hitting lightning in a bottle, we're flipping Trav from
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Florida State. And Coach, your son's been real lackluster. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: also didn't like how he handled the benching of his quarterback, Lewis.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: The kid that was supposed to be next in line
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: behind Shador Sanders as, quote unquote, the highly recruited quarterback
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and that type of deal. There's some long lines of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: not actually talking to him and talking about the benching
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and that type of deal. I feel like that's a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: bad look, in my opinion, from Pram. You still have
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to develop mentally, right? You still have to cultivate that kid.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You still have to speak life in him. He's young.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He's young. You don't want to throw him to the side.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You're not ready now, but we still believe in you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: We still want to develop you just in the third.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You've got to have that conversation, especially when you're bitching
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one quarterback to another. I feel like him saying that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a conversation with the quarterback was a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: little bit crazy. But again, those are the pros and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: cons with Deion. I would not be a fan of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: actually hiring him to Florida State. Again, recruiting is the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: lifeblood of your program, and that shit does a lot
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of work. I do think him saying I'm not hard
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to find at Florida State versus Colorado is a big difference.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big enough difference to actually
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: put FSU– in the category they need to be at
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: as far as winning these recruits and then ultimately winning
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: games on the field based upon those recruiting wins.
