  Speaker 4: for coming on the show. Glad to have you back on.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: He played in Tyler, Texas and at Tyler Lee and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: we used to play every team in their district, long
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: View and Marshall and Lufkin. They were the only team
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: scared to play the evangel.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, serious, Look.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Let's not get into our beef in front of play.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about what he's doing.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: So just quick story. They were scared to play us
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: because we cut block. They didn't they didn't want to
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: come to Texas and faces because they knew.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It would Yeah. I think I think Blake knows really
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: what happened. Really, we had a.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Few of those teams that I played too.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, right, Hey, so man, I'm glad that you're back here.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And we were talking a little bit beforehand. You had
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: an injury last year, and I think you handled it perfectly,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of ways you can handle an injury,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and it's it's your.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Way from the game. It's like, okay, what do I do?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: You were integrated in the team and you never went
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: away from the team, and you helped Van Buren and
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: whatever he needed, you were there.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And I heard, you know, all the coaches talk about that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: What was that process like? Though? For you, man, it
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: was tough.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: So obviously I had missed over eight games in my
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: career and so sitting out, not being kind of the
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: center of attention for the first time and not being
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: the quarterback of the team, it was definitely different. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: the only option I had was to help Mike out,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: to be that resource for him. Obviously he was a
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: young freshman that needed some help. So for me just
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: to give him my knowledge, be able to be right
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: behind him.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: In every scenario.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Obviously, played a lot of tough games, went to Tennessee,
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: went to Georgia, played some tough environments.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: So obviously he needed.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Some help, and the only option I had was just
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: to be right behind him.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: So I want to kind of let's take a step
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: back in and just kind of.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Talk about your career a little bit. So you went
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: to True Burger, you signed with Baylor, right, Yeah, So
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: I grew up real quickly. I grew up a huge
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Baylor fan.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: My dad played there in the sixties, so like I was, like,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: my heart is like with Baylor.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: When it's not with SEC people. So that's all.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm trying to read Am I reading this correctly?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: That in the Pig twelve Championshippie through for five and
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: ninety six?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Or is no? Come on no no
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: check GPT?
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: So actually the Big twelve Championship, I think I went
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: seventeen to seventeen or something like that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to start the game.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: The yards might not be there, but a former quarterback,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I think you appreciate the seventeen of seventeen.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: That's more impressive than that, dude.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So you go over and then tell me about that
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: transition from the transferring going from Baylor to one type
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: of offense and to what I'm assuming is a kind
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: of a completely different like mindset reset of offensive philosophy.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But what was that transition like from when you went
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: from Baylor to Mississipi State.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a lot different.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, I was in a pro style offense at
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: Baylor under Jeff Grimes and we're under center probably fifty
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: percent of the time. To go into coach Levy's offense,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: we're we're in a shotgun every time, going full speed,
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: fast tempo, getting the ball out quick, throwing the ball
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: down the field. So it was literally polar opposite offense.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: But I learned a lot through being at Baylor under
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: that offense and then going in Missippi State, I learned
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: a lot under coach Levy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Coach Levey.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: One of the things I think that's a little bit
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: of a misconception about offense because like he wants to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: go fast, but he wants to run the football as well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Like it's still a physical offense, even though like I
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: think people allow the tempo to just assume, oh, it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: throwing the ball fifty times a game. I mean, it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: still a very balanced attack. And I would even maybe
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: say run first, like run heavy.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: For sure, no doubt.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: And for our offense to go, we got to be
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: able to run the football, just like in any offense.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: But like going into this year, we want to be
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: able to run the football.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That's the goal.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: And and I like you said, when you're in a
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: fast tempo offense, you're throwing the ball down the field.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You're throwing the ball a lot.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: You look at the numbers after the game, it's a
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: lot of pass attempts. But we want to run the football.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: That's the goal for sure.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And when you go when the offense works with pace,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: you certainly simplify and you take at least half the
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: playbook out of the defense's hands, right, So they can't
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: line up in a lot of exotics if you'll go
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: with fast pace. So is that kind of the goal
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: like get up, gets set, and then what is your
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: mechanics like when you get to the line of scrimmage?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Are you calling out protections or are you declaring Mike's
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: or do you have freedom to either kind of change plays,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: change protections based on what you're seeing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: We don't declare the mic, but if there is protection
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: issues or things like that, I fix them or I
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: can flip the protection. That's all my hands. Like the
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: line doesn't handle that, I handle that. But like you said,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: with the defense not getting lined up, that's that's the
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: biggest thing for us. It's like we're playing fast so
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: that they can't disguise what they're they're doing. They're going
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: to show us what they they're giving us, and we
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: know exactly what we're getting every play. That's why we
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: move with so much tempo. Also, so their cleats aren't
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: in the ground either, so you can get the playoffs.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: So but we don't idea the mic, but I flip
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: protections and things like that, and I handle all that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I think you really wanted to ask you, do you
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: go with the clap or do you have a cadence
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that is that's been it's been this big thing.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Look, you know we're old hands.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: We both turned forty this year, and so is it
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: only as a clop?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a clop.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: To have somebody at some point off air like break
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it down to me the benefits.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Of the clop. So no dou oh man.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: All right, So what are some of the goals for
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the team this year? Like in the off season, what
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: is like the narrative, because every team's going to create
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: one of those, right, it's like, hey.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: We got to do this, we got to do a
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: B and C. When you're talking with your team, when
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: coach Levy's out in front of the team, what's the message,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: I think for us is like it's going one to oh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Like you're we're focused on each week at a time.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Obviously in this conference, you're playing a tough schedule. We
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: got a really hard schedule. So the more you look forward,
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: the less focus you are on the game you're playing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: And so I feel like for us, just being one
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: to know each week not thinking too much down the road.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: It's easy to do that, especially when we've got tough
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: teams that you're gonna face down the road, but just
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: focusing each week on each opponent.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: When you look back when when this season, when the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: dust subtles of this season, you look back on it,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: what's going to be like something like, man, we did
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: this in two thousand and five, and that made it
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a successful season with twenty five you said two thousand
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and five, I'm showing our age.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But it's early.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at Blake here. I know I'm thinking about
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: like the whirlwind that he's about to go through and
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: trying to like, you know, make this easy on him
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but like what I want to like
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: when you look back on, like the dust settles on
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the season and you look back on it and be like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: what's the one thing that's gonna be Like that was
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: a successful season for us.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: I think for us overcoming at versity, like we're gonna
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: face at versity this year no matter what, and we
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: gotta we gotta know that and whenever it comes, we
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: got to be able to overcome it and be able
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: to bounce back each week whatever it may look like,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: whether we're winning, put that in the past, move forward,
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: go win another game. If you lose, we got to
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: bounce back the next week. I feel like last year
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: we struggled at that, like we we took a loss
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: and we would gain another loss just because we couldn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: get our eyes off the last one, and so I
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: feel like moving forward, that's our goal is to be
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: able to overcome whatever whatever we face.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, where's the three one eight shoes?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I just looked down ye playing last year he had
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: these incredible custom three one eight shoes.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: I would on it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: They were three to one great approved. Did we retire those?

• 12:56
  Speaker 3: just talking to you're ready to get to fall camp.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. Man.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: We are fifteen days away from reporting and incredibly excited
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: about getting back on the grass with our guys, the
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: football team that we've been able to put together, the
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: roster that we flipped again, really really excited about where
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: we're at, but where we're going.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: So many things when you're coming in and year number one,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: and there's so many things in college football now that
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: you have to worry about. But does it feel different
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: year number two? Just knowing everything the landscape and the
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: building and the team and the players, Like, does it
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: feel different this year at this point than it did
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: a year ago?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: Programmatically it absolutely does. Because you've got your processes in place.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Everybody understands what camp's going to look like. There's some
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: day to day tweaks. You're always trying to find ways
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: to get better and maximize the day. But at the
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: end of the day, with the roster, and I think
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: the thing that's crazy is that, you know.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: We add sixty guys. We add five.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: Offensive linemen in the spring portal, we add tight ends
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: to d linemen, so we've added guys that have not
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: practiced this a snap with us. Yeah, and Sommat absolutely,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: But man, the urgency you have to operate with to
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: get these guys ready for August thirtieth is incredibly real,
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: and that's the only way we get done. What we
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: want to get done is is treating every single day
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: like man. It's it's game day. You got to find
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: a way to get better and maximize it.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, coach, I know, this is kind of like the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: last hurdle of the summer. And then after this, after
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: media dates, it's like, man, let's focus on where we're
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: close to getting those pads on it. But let's talk
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: about like today, let's talk about the guys that you
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: decided to bring to represent your program, represent your school.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Let's talk We just had the privilege of talking to
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Blake Shape and your quarterback, but talk about your guys.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: What are they bringing through this year? Man? Why did
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you choose them to come represent? Yeah, all three of
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: these guys.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: There was great intent on bringing these three guys, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: so for us eighty percent of our rosters in year
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: one or year two of the program.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You look at Blake Shape and he's.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: In year two, Brendan Thompson's in year one, and Isaac
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: was a high school signing he's in year three obviously
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: just two years with me.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: So all these.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Guys come from these different backgrounds, and I think the
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: thing that I love is that they have created this
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: urgency inside the locker room of understanding what it needs
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: to look like every single day. There's been incredible accountability
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: with themselves first and then with their teammates.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: They're set up to go.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: Have great years, and these three guys we need to
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: go have great years, go do what we want to do.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: But man, their leadership, who they are every single day,
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: and then their opportunity to go produce at a really,
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: really high level is why they're here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: The way Blake handled last year and getting injured and
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: then being a mentor to Van Buren like on the field,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: actually reached out to him.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, hey, you're doing that the right way.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: A lot of people, a lot of college age kids,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: they're not doing that right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: They're going away.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe you don't see him again, but like to see
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: him be interactive and to help out the team, even
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: though he couldn't help him on the field, I felt
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: like he was helping on the sideline there.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: That just kind of speaks I think to who he is. Yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: it absolutely does.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: And he's a guy that is a great teammate and
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: is what it's supposed to look like. And when things
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: didn't go his way, he found ways to get better,
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: he found ways to create value, and it's going to
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: help him today. You know, and it's going to help
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: him when we get in the middle of September. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: so those are the things again that I'm excited about
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: for him. It was really hard to go through obviously
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: for him, for me as we lost him for the year.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: But man, year two for quarterback inside the system and
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: getting coach the way he's getting coached every single day,
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: he's going to make a great jump and fired up
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, coach, what's the what's the message to your team
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: leading into this season, like the what is the picture
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: you're painting for him? The goal and the expectations that
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: you're setting for them.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we'll talk about our goals inside the program,
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: you know, behind those walls.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: But for us, as the leader I do.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: I think it's important that people understand, man, we're fighting
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: like heck to get back to the postseason and then
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: finding a way to get in a bowl game and
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: be able to finish the season the right way and
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: go win a bowl game. And so that will be
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: a big piece of it. Also while understanding we are
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: year two, it's eighty percent of the roster, like I've
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: already mentioned, but our guys there's man, there is there's
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: great belief. There's great hope, there's trust, and there's great
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: encouragement that that's happening inside the building to be able
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: to go do what we need to do, all right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I love the fact that we got a former offensive
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: line and like fullback I was basically like an extension
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: of the offensive line. So I'm always curious, like during practice,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: like how you go about it, because I know you
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: work with the quarterbacks a time, but I know you've
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: got to go down there with the big nasties just
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit, like watch them an individual and coaching
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: them up.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah. No, I'll take a peek down there. If I'm
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: not with the quarterbacks, you're gonna find me with the
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: old line.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: And that's that's just kind of how it trends for
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: me and always has so again, man, as we're on
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: the grass and try to be incredibly present with as
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: many of the guys as I possibly can because I
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: am calling it every single snap and so finding ways
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: to touch those defensive guys.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I was about to say, like you got to go
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: over there a.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Little bit because you're the head coach absolutely and being
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: involved with with what goes on on that side of
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: the field. Yeah, I think is important, you know, so
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: they see me and feel me from uh, from from
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: the leadership standpoint, but uh, I'm I'm gonna find a
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: way to watch some old line.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah cause, like most offensive line head coaches I ever had,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: wanted to line up with two tight ends and a
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: full back and run it, run and run it. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I'm getting ganged up here, probably by some running game gurus.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But hey, tell me how your philosophy. He's gonna run,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: but he's.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Gonna run because running game is like the best friend
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: of a quarterback obviously, But how did your offensive philosophy
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: kind of developed?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I know you're at Oklahoma, but like, how did that
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: kind of get to where it is?
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: I mean it was the beginning of the college career
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: for me, being with coach Brawls and and you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: as we started to spread the field the way we
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: did and for those years in Waco and then just
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: taking that and growing it into into what we are
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: you know today. But that's from a philosophical standpoint. Aggression mentality, personality,
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: that's that's where I get a ton of it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really ever know, and I talk about
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: all the time. I don't know like where that misconception
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: about like.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Up tempo offenses came from. It's like they're a tip
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: of they throw it fifty five times a game. It's like, no,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: like everything starts with this offense through the running game,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and you got to establish who you are through the
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: running game.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Always has yeah, and and always will.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: But I love the fact that people think it's just
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: to throw it a round deal.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they'll continue to Yeah, just put an extra dB
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: in there when y'all play. Yeah, we're going to throw
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of promise, no doubt. Yeah it's gonna be okay,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: no doubt. What are some of the coach where are
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: some like the off season messages?
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: And look, all three of us are for more players.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: We've been through off seasons. We know it's like hey,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: and it changes every off season. I say, I want
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: to get this done this off season. So when you
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: get in front of the team, what's kind of been
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: the main point of focus?
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think making sure our guys understand this is
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: a profession in the game of earning it and it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: it's literally every single day, right, you know, you want
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: to change the result in the fall, And what are
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: we doing on on that Tuesday in June to change
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: the result because that ultimately is gonna matter, and it's
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: gonna matter in a huge way. And so that's been
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: something we've stressed. We've talked about NonStop as we get
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: into the season, into fall camp man, the way we practice,
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: creating that sense of desperation every day, of finding a
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: way to maximize every practice, every rep and coaching them
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: that way to try to figure out exactly what we
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: had before we go to Hattie's births.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and we've we've kind of talked a little bit
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: a lot about the offense. Now let's let's flip it
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: to the other side of the ball.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I know you got Isaac Smith here.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Safety gonna talk and represent his defense, But give us
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: your review of the defense. How the year two, your leadership,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: your your playmakers.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that the first thing that comes to
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: mind is what we've been able to do from a
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: staffing standpoint, you know, adding Paul Rhodes, Mike McIntyre, Vincent
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: Dancy to that room. All three former head coaches, two
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: of them at the Power four level. Obviously with Mac
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: and Paul, both those guys have been coordinators inside our
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: conference and had great success. So we had great additions
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: to that side of the ball from a staffing standpoint,
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: which I'm excited about, and we did. We signed ten
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: new defensive linemen, we signed ten new backers.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: So the look of that side of.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: The ball in the first two levels of the defense
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: will look completely different. So again, we're nowhere close to
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: where we need to be, but we're gonna have the
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: ability to have some depth and to create some negatives
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: and that's gonna be a huge part of who we
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: want to be. Isaac and there's not a better spokesperson
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: for our football team or our defense than Isaac Smith.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: And like he's.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: Everything the game's supposed to be about. That's who he is.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: He's ate up with it. Toughness wins at the end
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: of the day. And this kid loves football. He loves
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: Mississippi State. I love coaching him and incredibly proud of him.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: He's gonna go have a big year for us.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: So you mentioned Hattie's bird there you get a chance
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: to that's where you open it up against Southern miss
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: That opportunity. It's like some people would ask, Okay, well
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: why is Missippi State playing there? It's an opportunity to
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: go to a portion of Mississippi that feels like it's
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: you know, it's crucial for what you do in high
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: school recruiting, and then they get a chance to say, hey,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: we got to see Mississippi State in our hometown or
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: at least in our area of Mississippi.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: I think being able to open down there being an
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: end state opponent, I think it creates excitement and I
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: think it creates the ability for our guys to have
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: a great attention to who we're going to play. There's
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: a ton of familiarity with both rosters. I think that's
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: great for us. And again being an in state game.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: From a recruiting standpoint, being in Hattiesburg, we recruit down
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: there a ton in south of there obviously, so that
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: that will that'll be a big one for us.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: All right, coach, Hey, we're gonna keep all moving along.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: We know you got to move along. We appreciate your time. Hey,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: he gave Mellon a shout out because look, you know
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: we might have some some situation alarn On here. Yeah,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: so I can appreciate that as well as enjoy today.
• 22:48

  Speaker 3: O GB one, O four five ESPN Baton Rouge. I
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: know that we kind of got into the show full
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: throttle there head first.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of guests.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: We didn't really have any yesterday, so you know, well, no,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that's that's that part of was fine. It's just you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: we opened up with three one greater, so we just
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: really full throttled this thing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, y'all really blindsided me with that whole Report Evangels situation.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I was fired up to see him.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: He.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: I thought he had a really cool mindset. Impressed with him.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I impressed that he I was kind of fired up
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: that he was a Baylor guy too. I know, I
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: don't even know why, Like I kind of I kind
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: of always forget right your Baylor connection, Like when we're
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: in the moment because of course, you know you've told
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: it on air. Your father played quarterback there, so it's
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: it's your second team. So I didn't and I didn't
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: realize like the old like Art Brills offensive connection with
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Jeff Leby and his philosophy, and that's crazy, right, like
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: an offensive lineman head coach, because yeah, I got wouldn't
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: lie like Les Miles wanted to sit there and run
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: power nine toss.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah. My high school head.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Coach was an off X offensive lineman at two lane
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: and he was like, I mean, I was lucky to
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: get seven eight passes offensive game in high school.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: So you go and you see an X offensive lineman
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: who's a head coach, and his offensive philosophy is we're
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: gonna go fast, we're gonna spread it out, now, we're
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: gonna run it. I'm not taking that we're gonna we're
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: gonna run because it is helpful to the quarterback. But
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: I mean it's just kind of like one of those
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: those crazy coaching conundrums there that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: It's like he's actually different.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: And I know, look, we always joke about Jeff Leby
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: because the first day you named the coaches, that was
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the one you got there eventually, but.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: We're there, like I'll never forget it. No, well, no
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: you won't. He we're like buds, like he's got a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: cool story. So and I say cool, Like it's unfortunate
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: how it's started, but it ended up being cool. Like
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: he went to Oklahoma as a player, like off in
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the lineman, signed with Oklahoma and he had an injury
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: and he couldn't plain anymore. It's like, well, I want
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: to be around Oklahoma. I want to be around football.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: What do I do? Like do you want a student coach?
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Like so he like was a student coach
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: for multiple years at Oklahoma.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: It's like that's what he did. And then so that
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: started his coaching career and like you're like, he just
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: he kind of grinds and goes to different jobs and
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: then you know, finds his way back as the offensive
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: coordinator there at Oklahoma, and then he gets an opportunity
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: to be the head coach at Mississippi State.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: So it's a really cool story of not allowing that
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: injury to kind of change what he wanted to do.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: It just it got started sooner, but it got to
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the finish line where he wanted to finish, which is
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: an SEC head coach.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know what, just talking to both of them,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: what I was kind of impressed with was the self
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: awareness that they had for their program and the goals
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: and expectations they set, because like, it's easy to sit
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: there as the head coach or the court and like,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: we ask a big picture goal, what's your goal for
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: the season? What does success look like in the season,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: And it's easy for them to say, well, we want
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: to win a championship, we want to win the SEC championship,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: we want to be the playoffs, blah blah blah.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: That's easy to.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Like fall back on and that would be kind of
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: like some false confidence. But what they what Blake told me,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: what Blake Shape in the quarterback said was we want
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: to overcome adversity because last year we didn't. We let
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: adversity overcome us, and we let a bad play turn
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: a bad play, a bad drive turn into another one,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: a bad quarter into it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So having that awareness, the you know, the the
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: maturity to say, look, it's probably not going to be perfect, but.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: We cannot let we want to overcome.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to I want to be proud of this team,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: it's a successful season if we can over because things
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: aren't going to be perfect. And then of course, uh,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Jeff Lobby, the head coach, his mantra was, we want
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: to compete for the postseason.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Didn't necessarily say a championship or playoffs right now. He
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: understand and he said it.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: He said, it's year two, this is year two four us,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: so we want to win a bowl game.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: We want to.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: So like the self awareness that they have I think
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: is a really cool mindset because it's I mean, it
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: didn't look.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Great last year, yeah, but they are building something. It
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: was year one last year. So I just thought that
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: self awareness was cool to hear from them from their
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: head coach and their starting quarterback. Yeah, like Rome wasn't
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: built in today kind of mentality, Like were like, do
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: we want to get there?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we have a lot of new from a
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: year ago. And he said, we had a lot of
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: new coming back this year through the portal and I'm.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Like ten defensive linemen or something like something crazy.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: They said like eighty percent of the roster is going
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: to be different. Yep.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Like that that's expect for us to know their names
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: if you know they're just they're all brand new.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I just painted the question. It's like, tell
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: me about your defense.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Hey, that was I know. And then you looked at
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: the you know, the person that was going to be
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: here Smith and they rolled off the tongue. I'm like,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: that's a pro move, pro move. It might be a
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: rookie player, but it's a pro move.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: So Blake was here.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I asked that question cause I I'm starting to not
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: trust chat Gpt because Chad Gpt literally said he came
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: in and three for five hundred and ninety six yards,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, that's a lot, Like that's gonna be cuzy.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I knew he had I knew he had a big game.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I knew something happened. I was like, I don't know.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I was like, five ninety six doesn't sound right, but
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: I know Baylor has thrown for like ridiculous yardage and
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: it's happened before. So I said that, So of course
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: he sees like my question, like, tell me about Blake
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: shaping all this stuff. You had the screen up still,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I had the screens. I was reading like the yardage
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: and I saw him. He was sitting here and he
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: was like started peeking at it. And I was like,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: that's right, chat gptg.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Bro although it failed you, but but he's still like
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: he had a great game, being seventeen seventycent decent, like
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: as a quarterback.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's harder to do than throw for five hund.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: So like artificial intelligence not that intelligent. I felt like
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: it just was a bold face lie. Yeah, where are
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: you pulling that info from?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know because it doesn't it say searching the web.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Whenever you hit enter what web? Did it search the
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: wrong one?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: What?
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: What's the guy that Jimbo the Jimbo Fisher went back

  Speaker 2: I think it's you think the web. But then they
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: like finds stuff like that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Well, intelligence is dumb. Let's just taken. Let's just keep
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: you on Google, my guy. No, no, no cha, I'm
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: gonna trust it from here on now. It can only
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: be one right wrong once a day, I think figure
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: So I'll just I'll definitely type.

• 32:19
  Speaker 2: talked about a lot of things like that, and I'm
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: sure it was great. I bet it was.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: When Commissioner Sankie sits down with us, it's not gonna
• 32:25

  Speaker 2: When he says gash, like, I can see this man's hamstring.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: This is like upper like hamstring, hamstring, but it goes
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: to the upper inner groin as well. And I'm pretty
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: sure I'd have to confirm with my wife.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that this hole was here like.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago that we noticed, and I
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: meant to throw these away, so it was fair and
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: I just packed them. But these are like a good
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: pair of jeans, Like I wore these yesterday too and
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: didn't really.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Notice, so I don't think I saw the hole and
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I was just walking and standing around a lot yesterday.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah you were, so now it's one of those things
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I got noticed, so I can't stop thinking about it
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you were going up to the room
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: to change. Well, I was, but I was.

• 34:31

• 34:33
  Speaker 3: seven forty two Eastern time, Eastern Standard time, and I
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: started going back to the hotel and I was like, man,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna make it. That elevator takes forever, especially
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: in the morning with everybody coming down to get coffee.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you're waiting, like for minutes for it. But hey,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: so appreciate you. I'm sacrificing taking one for the team.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: I got my upper hamstring thigh stuck to these leather

  Speaker 3: born eighty five. You were born in the theaters. I
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: didn't see it in theaters. I saw it, like I
• 36:20
