• 0:58
  Speaker 3: That is the Cowboy Maloney's text line. Let me go
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: back to this, excuse me, this owner.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Was it the owner of the 49ers?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Why, how many, we've seen several cases of these now
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: over the years. Excuse me, these well-off, well-to-do owners dabbling in,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Getting popped with prostitution.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Do they really have to do this? Does that make sense? Like,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: you're loaded.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: You sit in the castle of sorts of the organization.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Why are you getting in trouble for that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Does that make sense? Why? Do we know why? I mean,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: you would think.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: They could actually technically get anything they want, in quotes.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Why would they have to go get arrested in a
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: mugshot for hanging out with the commoners out there?
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: It makes no sense to me. Oh, mercy.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So Lane Kiffin has taken a beating publicly over all
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of this stuff going on with adding players back. LSU's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin on the Tigers adding former NFL tight end
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Daquan Wright. Quote, they're either going to play for you
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: or they're going to play for someone else around the country.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Is he correct in this?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Like, hey, somebody's going to get them and it might
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: as well be us, right? And I think he's probably right.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Lane Kiffin doesn't care. And we know that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And if he can get two more pieces and fit
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: them in the puzzle, even if they're not contributing week
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: one against Clemson, and they may contribute. He's trying to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: win now. Have you noticed some of his pictures? He
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: looks older at LSU. Have you seen this? Like, look
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: at this photo here of Lane Kiffin. Does he not
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: like his age since he's got down there?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the way that picture looks... I got to think
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: that's to do with the. The artwork of the photo.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Because he looks way older in that. I think, yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: that that's I think that's to do with the artwork
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: because we were told, oh, we how ridiculous has this
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: story been that we were we were told so much
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: about this that it went into telling us about yoga
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: and showing us pictures of a shirtless Lane Kiffin.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: When you think about that, that's pathetic.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: But this ties into, so I definitely don't believe that
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: picture that he looks 20 years older because we were
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: told that he's this young, oh, yoga saved my life guy.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: No, I'm with you on that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: So Ryan Day has sounded off on this whole deal.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Ohio State's Ryan Day on NFL players returning to college. Quote,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: if there are teams that have some players out there
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: who were cut from NFL rosters and that are going
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to be on other teams. We have to at least
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: consider it and look at it ourselves. Do I, do
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I like anything about it? He said, uh, absolutely not,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: but we've got to do what's right for Ohio state.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I like the way these, I mean, they're not wrong,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: but they're now coaches are turning it on themselves. Like, Hey, look,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: somebody is going to take them. We've got to look
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: out for our best interest, which means we're going to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: go get them. Now, Dan Lanning had a little bit
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: different take on this head football, head football coach at Oregon.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: He said, uh, quote, you're a professional now, once you
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: declare for the draft, so to let any of those
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: players come back, fair or unfair to them, it's unfair
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to the sport, and I think it's unfair to the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: players that are on current teams for those guys to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: be coming back.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: And I would agree with that. I would agree with
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that wholeheartedly. Let's see here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Miko, looks like Lane has been drinking quite a bit
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: from the recent photos. Yeah, and it could be. Kiffin
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: could be getting back out on that. Florida has named
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech transfer quarterback Aaron Filo as its starting quarterback.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: And that was expected.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Also, South Florida has named LSU transfer quarterback Michael Van
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Buren as its starting quarterback.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: You remember where Van Buren started? Mississippi State.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: From Mississippi State to LSU, now to South Florida, he
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: is the starting quarterback for the Bulls of South Florida. Also,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Arkansas has named KJ Jackson. their starting quarterback. So KJ
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Jackson will be the starting quarterback. A lot of people
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: felt like that would be the case. And let's see here. Also,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Nebraska has named UNLV transfer Anthony Calandria, their starting quarterback,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: courtesy of Matt Rule. So people naming starting quarterbacks left
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and right. Alabama has named Keylon Russell, their starting quarterback.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: He was a five-star. And the Patriots are sending wide
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: receiver Kayshaun Booty, to the Texans in exchange for a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: safety Jalen Reed and a 2028 7th round.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Pick, courtesy of Tom Pellicero.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And I want to get into some ticket prices, courtesy
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: of the NFL. 601-885-3776, that is the Cowboy Maloney's text line.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Cowboy Maloney's, 13 locations around the state, online at CowboyMaloneys.com.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Who do you think has the most expensive ticket in
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the NFL right now?
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: If you had to guess.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like if me and you were going to just
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: jump in the Fista, and take off to an NFL
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: game in less than two weeks, who has the most
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: expensive ticket?
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: It kind of makes me think that it would be
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: the most highly valued.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Team, the Cowboys.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: They are not in the top 10, which is crazy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I would have said Cowboys, too, if I didn't have
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: this list in front of me. The Buffalo Bills, average
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: ticket price is $ 610. Well, you got to pay for
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that new stadium. Eagles, number two, at $ 473. These are
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: average ticket prices for the 2026 season.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: The Bears, $ 472.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: The Packers, $ 455. The Seahawks at number five, $ 428. The
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Lions at $ 425.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: The Broncos at $ 389. The Raiders at $ 368. We can
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: go see your 49ers for $ 367 a pop. And the....
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The Patriots at $ 364 per pop. Isn't that crazy? So
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: like if four people wanted to go see the bills,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: taxes and all, you're looking at three grand.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: That's to get in the gate. It's not parking.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: That's not food. That's not lodging. That's three grand to
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: walk in the door. You know, I can remember when
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: NFL tickets were like a hundred bucks, $ 75. You remember
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: those days? I mean, colleges used to be $ 25, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: now we're talking about $ 610 for the Buffalo Bills and
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: everything they're putting out there. All right, let's see here.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Former NFL running back Anthony Hankerson plans to enter the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: transfer portal. Hankerson played at Colorado and at Oregon State,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and he was in camp with the Dolphins. I mean,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: my God, you can't make that roster and you think
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: you're going to come back to college? You can't make
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: the Dolphins roster and you're coming back to college. Let's
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: see here. Also, SEC presidents and athletics directors will convene
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: in Birmingham on Tuesday for a two-day meeting scheduled weeks ago,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: centering on the exploration of a conference-only governance model. The
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: focus for now is on self-governance and not a competitive breakaway.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I don't believe that for one second.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Second, I mean, if the ADs and presidents are convening,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: if they're all meeting tomorrow in Birmingham for two days
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and it's been scheduled, they're talking about self-governance. Don't you
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: think the breakaway is going to be talked about? They're
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: tired of this. They're tired of this. They're going to
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: talk governance, which means, hey, how do we police our
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: own conference?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: But the breakaway will be talked about.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Also, Matt Zenich reporting LSU is expected to add former
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints and Ex-Ole Miss star defensive lineman Zabion
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Harris and a couple more as well. The Seahawks plan
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: to wave running back Anthony Hankerson, and he is going
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: to hit the transfer portal. This is just insanity. Absolute insanity.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And just looking at some of these reports of these guys.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: And look, we're not done. We're not done.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see how many guys actually, when
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the Raiders cut wide receiver Noah Brown, I don't know
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: if he was a rookie or not, but if he was,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: he'll be out there as well. Also, Alabama's NIL entity,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Yay Alabama, announced Monday that freshman safety Jariah Edwards suffered
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: an arm injury today and will undergo surgery, but it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: expected to return this season. You know what I find
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: funny about that? We're getting an Alabama injury report from
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: their NIL entity, Yay Alabama. We're brought to you by
• 9:59

  Speaker 1: We got that and a whole lot more around here.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It's the Afternoon Drive with Jake Wimberly. What's the score?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: He's got that along with the hottest sports stories of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the day on ESPN 105.9 The Zone and online at thezone1059.

  Speaker 1: Com.

  Speaker 3: We're brought to you by friends at Gutter Masters, custom

  Speaker 3: Get your gutters on your home with our friends at
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Gutter Masters, 601-503-7755. We'll have Chris Landry coming up at
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: the top of our number three as we'll go 30
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: minutes with Chris Landry. Rebel Grave on the Cabo Maloney's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: text line. What's going to be crazy is when a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: player that came back to college from the NFL gets
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a call back from the NFL. needing them to come back. Yeah,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of questions with all of this. Can
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: they reenter the draft?
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know. The whole thing is just absolutely, absolutely crazy.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I know we're just getting started with the season. Week
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: zero is this week. But there's going to be a
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: lot of coaches on the hot seat. And there could
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: be a lot of coaches looking for jobs and a
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: lot of teams trying to fill you know, positions. Ross
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Dellinger reporting on this today said at this time last year,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the experts predicted quite a busy coaching carousel, but even
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: the most aggressive prognosticators couldn't have seen the onslaught of
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the 2025 hiring cycle. More than 30 FBS coaches, coaching
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: trends that, uh, transitions, including 17 in the power leagues
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: who had Brian Kelly, LSU, James Franklin, Penn state and
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Sharon Moore, Michigan, all getting fired or that Kyle Whittingham
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: would be pushed aside at Utah and and then land
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in Ann Arbor. Or that Michigan State would replace Jonathan
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Smith after year two for Pat Fitzgerald. Says, don't expect
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: this year to be as action-packed. However, we've all learned
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: to expect the unexpected from the hiring and firing industry.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Dellinger says, our annual coaching hot seat list is assembled
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: through conversions with those in the college administrative area, search firms,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and the agent world.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: It's not our opinion. It's not subjective.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: It relies on the expertise and knowledge from industry insiders,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: some of whom are already positioning themselves for a search
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: or expecting one at a particular school. Every cycle has
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a blue blood gag or two that, if open, could
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: create a domino effect of movement. There are two, notably
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: this year. The two, notably, are USC and Florida State.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley at USC said, Mike Norvell at Florida State.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: There are eight other Power League jobs on that list, too,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: and there are plenty of candidates ready to take their place.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: The pool of Power Conference coordinators remains a bit shallow,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: according to industry stakeholders. In fact, in this world of
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: athlete revenue sharing, administrators continue to prefer to hire a
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: proven head coach who's managed the finances of a roster,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: even those at the group.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Of six level.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Some of those expected to attract attention this coming up
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: year are, in no particular order, Dan Mullen at UNLV,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Jason Eck, New Mexico, Sean Lewis, San Diego State, Jason Kendall, UConn,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Lance Taylor, Western Michigan, Matt Entz, Fresno State, or Fresno now,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Ricky Rain, Old Dominion, Jeff Monken, Army, Tyson Helton at
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Western Kentucky, and G.J. Kinney, Texas State. There are plenty
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: of accomplished high-level coordinators, too. Several are expected to receive
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: attention for gigs in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Big 12, including Kane Womack, Alabama, Arthur Smith, Ohio State,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Blake Baker, LSU, Buster Faulkner at Florida, Matt Patricia, Ohio State,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Charlie Weiss Jr., LSU, Glenn Schwammen, Georgia, Cade Bell at Pittsburgh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Andy Kotel Nikki at Kansas and Mike Denbrock at Notre Dame,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: along with Shannon Dawson at Miami, Mike Shanahan at Indiana,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and Sheil Wood at Texas Tech. But the head coach
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: trend is real. Of the 17 power jobs in the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: last cycle, 11 of them were filled by a group
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: of six or sitting power league coaches. Five were power
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: league coordinators, and one was from the NFL. Quote, head
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: coach experience is at a premium, said one stakeholder. The
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: big question with a lot of these jobs is, is
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: if you fire your guy, do you have a better
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: one lined up?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: It's not necessarily a good pull.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: It says, making matters more difficult in a recent trend
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: that many expect to continue. Coaches like Rhett Lashley, Kurt Cignetti,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: both spurned interest from Blue Blood programs to remain at
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: SMU in Indiana this past year. The unlimited player movement
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and compensation made gigs outside of the elite more attractive.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Recruiting great players is no longer contingent on a historic
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: success or big brand value. So when you start looking
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: at the list, Mike Norvell is at the top of
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: this list, Florida State. His buyout right now is $ 45
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: to $ 50 million. $ 45 or $ 50 million at Florida State.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: School administrators thought long and hard about dismissing Norvell last season,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a 5-7 campaign that followed a 2-10 debacle in 2024.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: after having a fantastic 2023. The fan uprising was loud
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: enough that the administration released a statement in support of Norvell.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: But let's be real, much of that support is derived
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: from the cost of such a move. FSU recently spent
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: $ 400 million on facility renovations. The buyout at the time
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: was more than $ 50 million as part of a contract
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: he signed after Alabama flirted with him following a 13-1
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: season in 2023.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: And remember that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: They did.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: They went.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: 13-1.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Nick Saban was leaving. Mike Norvell was at the top
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: of that list, or at least perceived to be at
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the top of the list. Kalen DeBoer was the choice.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And here we are. So they gave him an extension
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and a bonus. Says the schedule isn't easy. A very
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: big game looms on September 7th as the Noles host SMU.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Two weeks later, they travel to Alabama. And there's a
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: trip to national reigning runner-up Miami in October. So there's
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: a lot on the line for Mike Norvell. And again,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: if they lose week one against SMU, that seat's going
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to flame up. And they very well could, by the way.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: SMU is a better coach team. I think they're equally
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: as talented. And I wouldn't be surprised if I'm picking today,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I'm probably picking SMU. They're not going to travel to
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Alabama and win that game. they very well could start
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: out one and two. If they do, that may be
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: it for him. Literally, three weeks into the season. Luke
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Fickle at Wisconsin has a buyout of $ 20 to $ 22 million.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: He did wonders at Cincinnati, but he's never gotten it
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: going in Madison. In part because the university didn't jump
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: into NIL with both feet. Wisconsin administrator's have acknowledged the
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: fact that last year they made the decision to invest
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: in the roster instead of paying Fickle's whopping buyout. Athletics
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Director Chris McIntosh, the man who hired Fickle, left in
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: an unusual move to be Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti's deputy.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Former Nebraska and Miami Athletics Director Sean Ekorst is now
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: presiding over the department, and he'll soon have a difficult
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: decision if Fickle doesn't greatly improve on his 17-21 record.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: We'll learn a lot about the Badgers early. They played
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame at Lambeau Field on September 6th, the Sunday
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: of opening weekend. So, you know, if we're, I'm going
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: to say it's more than a 50% chance that Mike
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Norvell is out at Florida State because I just don't
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: think they're going to have the sauce. I don't think
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: they're going to have the sauce to make the burger
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: taste too well this year. Luke Fickle very well could
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: be out at Wisconsin. I'm going to say we're going
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: two for two with those two guys. As a matter
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: of fact, today, August 24th, I'm telling you, Mike Norvell
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: is not going to be at Florida State after this year,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: and Luke Fickle will likely be out of Wisconsin.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Dave Aranda, Baylor. He has a $ 9 million to $ 10
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: million buyout.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: On what seems like a perpetual hot seat for four
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: years now, Aranda is facing different kind of pressure this year.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: He has a new boss who didn't hire him, Athletics
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Director Doug McNamee. Similar to fickle, Aranda's stint in Waco
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: serves as another example of a universally slow-to-transition to NIL
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and to the NIL world. It's caused a rollercoaster of
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: success and failure. Just look at the wins by year.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Dave Aranda, here's his wins by year at Baylor. 2, 12, 6, 3, 8, 5.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Up and down, or down and up. Down and up,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: down and up.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: This year, the Bears are, quote, brewing with confidence behind
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: new quarterback DJ Lagway. This is going to be so good.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: DJ Lagway, a skater mats guy. The former highly ranked
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Texas recruit who seems to have experienced a rebirth in
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Waco after struggles in Florida. Now, how do we know
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: that he's experienced a rebirth? He hasn't played a down yet,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: but I like the way they frame this up. Oh,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: he's got a new birth. Dave Aranda even said Florida
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: kept him in a box. They put a straitjacket on him.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: They didn't let him play. A big measuring stick comes early.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Auburn and Atlanta on the first full Saturday of college football.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: So you've got Florida State taking on SMU. Now, you've
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: got your big boy games out there. LSU taking on
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Clemson and some others. Obviously, big game Ole Miss-Louisville. Mississippi
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: State's home opener.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's big. I know it's Monroe. But it is big.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: That's a big game because if State comes out flat,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Jeff Lebby, I almost called him Jeff like I knew him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: That almost happened. But I don't know Jeff Lebby. Jeff
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Lebby could be on that seat as well. We're brought
• 21:25

  Speaker 3: Chris Landrieu will join us in 30 minutes, talking all
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: things college and the NFL. Text us 601-885-3776. Unnamed texter,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: just tuned into today's show. We thank you for that,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: by the way. If three and only three SEC head coaches...
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: lose their jobs before the end of the season, who
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: do you think they will be?
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: All right, three. I got to give three here. All right.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Humor me here.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I got to give this text for three coaches that
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: could be fired before the end of the season.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: These are all hypotheticals.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: One, South Carolina's Shane Beamer.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: It doesn't go well. You know, if you go look at.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: South Carolina's football schedule this year, there's so much hype
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: around South Carolina again. Dark Horse this, Dark Horse that,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Lenore Sellers this, Lenore Sellers that. They play Kent State
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: to open the season, then they play Towson.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Or Towson. Is it Towson? That's the way we go
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Presented by HendrixCars.com. All right, so they go to 2-0.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: They face Mississippi State. Let's say the Bulldogs upset them.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: They lose at Alabama. Let's say Kentucky dings them. And
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: then they go sliding at Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas A
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: & M. Yeah, this could get bad. So I'm going
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: to go Shane Beamer and a hypothetical three coaches that
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: could get fired in the SEC before the end of
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: the year. Second coach, Jeff Levy, Mississippi State. They go
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: to Minnesota week two. They lose a close ball game.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: They go to South Carolina. They again lose a close
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: ball game. And then it starts to Roll downhill. The
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: third one is, man, it gets real dicey at that
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: point because Texas A & M isn't cutting their coach.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma's not cutting out their coach. Florida just got a
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: new coach. Lane Kiffin's not going anywhere in year one.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Kirby Smart is safe. Arkansas with a new coach. You
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: would have to look at three places, I think. One,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: It's Alabama and Kalen DeBoer. I know they just signed
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: a contract extension, but let's say this thing goes south
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: and they go seven and five. Would they fire him
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: over that? You're saying no, okay? Brent Venables just signed
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: a new contract. But what if it goes south in Norman?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Would they get rid of him? Or Josh Heupel at Tennessee?
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: It could go south for him. Out of those three,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I'm giving you three choices. If all three had down years,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: if Bama, Oklahoma, and Tennessee all had down years relative
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: to expectations, all missed the playoffs, would any of those
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: three coaches get fired?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Heupel.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. Because during the break, I was
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: looking at that.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: And I don't think Heupel would get fired, but the
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: question— specifically States, three coaches.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Two were easy. I came up with Lebby and Beamer immediately.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I was with you on those.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: If there was to be a third, I think it
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: would be between Hypel and Drinkwitz, I think would be
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: the most, would be the first. But I think Hypel
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: more so than Drinkwitz. Not that Hypel's been doing bad,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: but we had.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: To get three. We had to get three in there.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Had to throw three in there. And the Drinkwitz, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: think they're happy with him. I think.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: But I'm not, that's one program I'm just so detached from.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they're coming or going.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: With Tennessee, and the reason for Hypo, the reason I'm
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: thinking Hypo is because it still feels like that one year, 2022,
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: 11 wins. It just feels like they're still chasing that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: And it doesn't feel like they're meeting that. I mean,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: they've had a nine win season since then. I think
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: they won 10 since then, but. It just feels like
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: they can't get back to that last year, because I
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: think that was Hendon Hooker's last year, wasn't it?
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: I don't... It just doesn't feel like they can get
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: back to that. So that's the only reason I would
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: have thrown Hypo on the list.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: No, I would agree with that. Let me look at
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: something real quick.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Jason and Flagstaff, I believe that about Lagway and Baylor,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Billy Napier didn't get much out of Anthony Richardson either,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: and Mullen... had that dude looking like Superman straight out
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: of the prompt. Jason, what football season did you watch?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Do you remember Anthony Richardson looking like Superman? He might've
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: looked like it getting off the bus. The one year
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: he played, he threw for 2,500 yards, a paltry 17
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: touchdowns and nine interceptions and rushing the football 654 yards.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: And he was at Anthony Richardson really blew up at
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: the combine.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: You remember that?
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: He really blew up at the combat. They were like,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: he's a can't-miss guy. Can't-miss guy. Look at his vertical.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Look at his 40.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Look at how far he throws it. Look at his
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: shuttle time. That was Anthony Richardson. He only played in
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: 15 ballgames in college, I believe.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: ResDog says, fire Levy today. So ResDog is ready to
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: get rid of Levy right now. CWR, if Levy is
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: fired midseason, does Arnett get the interim job?
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine? Would they do that? Would they make
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: him the interim coach again? Yeah, I believe they would.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Man wow yeah it's possible dog tired Florence who would
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: replace any one of those three who would I think
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: the list is you know we're going through a piece
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: by Ross Dellinger on what this coaching carousel could look
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: like and I know we're just getting to week zero,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: but you have to think about this because coaches get
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: fired so much and they get fired so quickly. There's
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: a lot to what Ross Dellinger is saying here that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: teams are hiring established coaches, even out of the group
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: of five that know how to handle the financing of
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: and management of rosters. And a lot of them are
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: coming out of the group of five. If you look,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: two new SEC coaches, John Summerall, Tulane to Florida. And
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: then you look at Alex Golish, South Florida to Auburn.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: I think there's several. And Ross Dell on your list
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: of them. Dan Mullen, UNLV. I don't know that he
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: comes back to Starville. Jason Eck, New Mexico. Sean Lewis,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: San Diego State. And these don't sound like You know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: sexy jobs where guys are coming into the power fight,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: but this is where people are going. Jason Candle, UConn.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Lance Taylor, Western Michigan. Matt Ince, Fresno. Ricky Rain, Old Dominion.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Jeff Monken, Army, which I don't believe he's leaving Army.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Tyson Helton, Western Kentucky.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: G.J.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Kinney, Texas State. I think you've got to look at
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: places like that. R.T., now he lists outside and inside
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the SEC. He's listing three teams that's going to be
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: looking for coaches. Texas, I don't believe that for one second.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Do you?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Clemson, you think Clemson's looking? Maybe.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Well, this is already disqualified, though, because that texter asked
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: specifically for SEC.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay. There were rules. We had to pick three coaches,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: and they had to be SEC. That's true. That wasn't
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the assignment, R.T., He fails just on missed protocol. He
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: does list Nebraska. Let's see. Rebel Godfather. Sark gets fired
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: for going 8-4. Would he? You don't think?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think they go 8-4.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think Sark's in any danger this year. The
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: bottom would have to literally fall, which I guess 8-4
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: would be the bottom falling out.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Unnamed texter.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: If Bama goes 7-5, there's no way DeBoer doesn't lose
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: his job. The fans will burn Tuscaloosa to the ground.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: It'll get dicey. It'll get dicey for him. I think
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: the buyout saves him. The buyout's way too rich. The
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: buyout is very rich.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Dave Aranda, we talked about Dave Aranda, because I do
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: think Mike Norvell will be gone at Florida State. Luke
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Fickle's out at Wisconsin after this year. Dave Aranda, I
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: think he's out. I don't see DJ Lagway saving that
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: job for him.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Do you?
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: No.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Nothing, no, nothing about DJ Lagway says to me that
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: you're going to save this man's job. I know he wasn't, look,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: he wasn't the sole reason Napier lost his job. I
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: didn't agree with Napier from the day he was hired,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: but Lagway didn't do him any favors. So this could
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: be the second coach in a row. You know, what
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: was that old?
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: You got Croomed. Shula got Croomed.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: All that. Napier and then Aranda could potentially, you both
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: got Lagway'd.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: And, you know, when I'm thinking about this, for this
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: to happen for Baylor, he would have to totally turn
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Lagway into what everybody expected him to be originally, which
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: was an all-world quarterback. Of all the transfer quarterbacks, most
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: of them have kind of been on par with what
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: they were. Here's what I mean. When Cam Ward came
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: out of Washington State, well, first he came from Incarnate Word.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: He blew up at Incarnate Word. He went, boom, Washington State.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Had a really good two-year run at Washington State. Left
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: and went to Miami. Had a really good senior year
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: off to the NFL, and I know his NFL career
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: is in question. Carson Beck left Georgia after a nice
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Georgia career, and he took Miami to the National Championship game.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: You can go down this line, transfer guys. If you
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: bust at one school and you transfer to another school,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: normally you bust at that school and you go to
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: a different school. It's either you're going across the board
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: where you were good, you transfer, you're good, or you're bad,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: and then you continue to be bad. There's only one
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: quarterback that I can think of that was marginally And
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: transferred up or across, up meaning to a bigger school
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: or across to an equal platform.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: And blew up.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Do you know who that guy was? One quarterback who
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: was very marginal and went, Fernando Mendoza. Did you know
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: who Fernando Mendoza was last year?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Me either.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: And nobody else did unless you were a Cal fan
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: or an Indiana fan.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: And you did research. Nobody knew Mendoza. He's the one guy.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: So, Aranda would have to have a Fernando Mendoza-like making
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: of DJ Lagway to go from average to great to
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: save his job. And I don't think that's going to happen.
• 34:58

  Speaker 3: Chris Landry will join us in the next segment.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: We've got a lot of texts.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Let me get caught up over here in the Cowboy
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Maloney text line. Unnamed text for Charlie Weiss Jr. to
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Florida State in seven months or less.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Charlie Weiss Jr.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Is definitely going to be one of these coaches, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: he's listed here by, and if you're just joining us,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: we're talking coaching hot seat.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, we are.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: It is a thing.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of coaches that could be on the
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: way out. Could definitely be on the way out. Charlie
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Weiss Jr. is a guy who has made a name
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: for himself, obviously notably in Oxford. And if LSU has
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: a big year offensively, he'll get a lot of credit
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: for that. Unnamed texture. What happens to Lincoln Riley if
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: USC doesn't make the playoffs?
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: He may be gone. He is on this list. And again,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: the coaching pendulum....
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Or the triangle at the very top of the triangle
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: is two coaches this year. Mike Norvell, Florida State. Lincoln Riley, USC.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: If those two pop off the top, then it's going
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: to create a ripple effect. Three hump camel. Just says
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Bo Nix. What about Bo Nix?
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: You were talking about quarterbacks who... were pretty much down
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: and then they transferred.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: And just exploded.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: That's a great call there.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I was talking about, because of DJ Legway, I could
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: only think of one quarterback in the transfer portal era. Typically,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: if you're what you are at school, a is about
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: what you'll be at school B. If you're not real good,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: you transfer and you're not going to be real good.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: You rarely see a marginal go up. That's, that's, that's
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a good recall. Bo Nix is absolutely one of those.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: I said for Fernando Mendoza, Bo Nix did do that
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: because he went into Auburn and to Oregon. I rolled,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I talked to, but we talked about it here. I
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: was like, he's not going to do anything. And his
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: first game was against Georgia and he didn't do much.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: But then after that, he did, he did do a lot.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: So that's a great recall there by three hump camel
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: res dog. What's worse losing the crew and getting fired
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: or beating Levy and getting fired. Hmm. Did somebody beat
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Levy and get fired? I don't remember that. Probably beating
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Levy and getting fired.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: CWR. If Aranda gets fired, he would be a top
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: five D.C.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Coordinator candidate if he wanted to move down to that spot.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely. Yeah, he would get picked up in a heartbeat. Smitty. Mendoza.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: What about Joe Burrow? Good recall. Good recall. Yes. Thank you.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: And again, my brain doesn't fire Smitty all the time,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: and you know that. Thank you.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow was a– now, this is– remember, I'm thinking
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: transfer portal 2021 forward. Joe Burrow did transfer from Ohio State,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: and he was– we didn't know anything about him other
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: than he was a four-star quarterback out of the state
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: of Texas, went to Ohio State, or wherever he was from.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Is he from Texas?
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Burrow?
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Burrow's from– Maybe he's from Ohio. Okay, he's from Ohio. So, yes,
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: good call.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Luvier, marginal transfer who blew up Joe Burrow from Ohio
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: State to LSU and won the natty as a Heisman
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: just a few years before Mendoza.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Y'all are helping us out here, helping me out here.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Unnamed texter. It was two.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Will Howard did it, too, and possibly Sanders. Will Howard
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: was pretty darn good, though, at Kansas State. I mean,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: he had a really good run at Kansas State. Is
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: he talking about Shador? I mean, I guess you could
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: put Shador in there. He did get drafted. But, I mean,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: what he was, I mean, he was good at Jackson State,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: and he ended up being pretty good at Colorado. Dog-tired
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Florence says Bo Nix blew up at Oregon. Opposite Jackson Arnold,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: he flamed out at Oklahoma and Auburn, now battling for
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: a spot at UNLV.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, he is.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Possum Neck Joe. I'm going to start some junk Jake
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and Beave. Remember when Art Briles was fired over the
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: sexual misconduct allegations against Against team members, personally, I thought
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Art Briles was railroaded. Supposedly, four coaches were aware of
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: the allegations. One of the four, Jeff Levy. But I think,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: isn't Levy in that family somehow? So, yeah, I don't,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: you know, I think that's been brought up. But I
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: don't know that there'll ever be any smoke on Jeff
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Levy for that. And by the way, Art Briles is
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: back coaching in Division II here. The real unnamed texter.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Money talks louder. And sent a... Snapshot from Chris Lowe.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of irony here. Harris ripped Kiffin after
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: the Sugar Bowl last year and told on three among
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: other things that Ole Miss saw, quote, how a real
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: head coach is supposed to be after Pete Golding took over.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Harris said Kiffin's departure felt like a, quote, slap in
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: the face and was especially upset upon hearing Kiffin was
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: interested in joining the ESPN broadcast during the game. Harris fumed, quote,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: that's what Kiffin tried to do. He tried to be
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: a dang announcer. trying to be a troll. We are
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: going to troll him. We got something for him. He
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: was just trying to steal our shine. That's all he
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: tried to do. That's all he's been trying to do. And,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: of course, now he's headed to LSU. Money talks, right?
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Money talks.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Let's talk just basically how the man's garbage. But seven
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: months later, when I have failed in the NFL, I'm
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: going to go back to him.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you stink. You suck. You're no good. Get out
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: of my face. How about $ 4 million? Okay, can we
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: be friends? There you go.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Rebel Godfather. Lincoln Riley gets fired at USC. Sark gets
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: fired at Texas. Lane leaves LSU for USC and takes
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Eddie O and Sark with him. The cocaine cowboys ride again. Look,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: anything in this wild, wild west that's college football is possible, right?
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Unnamed texture. All Jaden Daniels did was transfer and win
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: the Heisman. Thank you.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Another good recall. So see, y'all are helping me out here.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: I forgot Jaden Daniels was not, I mean, he was
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: average at Arizona State. He wasn't great, but that's another
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: good one. So I've got Mendoza. We've got Burrow, Daniels,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: and Bo Nix as quarterbacks who transferred out of one
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: school and then really shot up the ladder, so to speak,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: at the next school. And this is brought on because
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: can DJ Lagway do the same thing? Can he help
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Dave Aranda save his job at Baylor? RT, Luke Altmyer,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Garrett Schrader, Illinois and from Ole Miss. Garrett Schrader didn't– now, look,
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: here's the thing. Garrett Schrader played pretty well at Mississippi State,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: didn't he?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: No.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: You don't think so?
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: The only thing I remember from him is– look, that's–
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: The teams were so down. It's like these Mississippi State fans,
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: like when Van Buren was there a couple years ago,
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: and they were so terrible that they looked at Van
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Buren like, well, he didn't quit. Played as well as
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: he could. Ricky Schroeder, when he was there, remember he
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: got thrown up in the air like a helicopter and.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Spun around, and they're like, oh, that kid's tough. He
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: just loves playing.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: It was highly mediocre, and the team sucked.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: He did propel at, no pun intended, at Syracuse, and
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Luke Altmyer definitely did at Illinois. We're brought to you
