Speaker 3: Navy as the Group of five, a group of six champions,
2:00
Speaker 3: a group of six representative winning the American as well.
2:05
Speaker 3: And he has Notre Dame as his national championship winner.
2:09
Speaker 3: That is Andy Staple. I believe it was Nope, maybe
2:12
Speaker 3: he has Georgia. Let me look, I think it was
2:13
Speaker 3: Josh Pate who had Notre Dame. Let's see, Yeah, he's
2:20
Speaker 3: got Georgia. Staples has Georgia, Pate has Notre Dame. They
2:23
Speaker 3: both have Notre Dame played in the National Championship Game.
2:26
Speaker 3: All right, So when we start talking about a group
2:28
Speaker 3: of six head coaches that could be the next guy up,
2:32
Speaker 3: there's several coaches that you know, there's gonna be some
2:34
Speaker 3: job openings always are at the end of the year,
2:37
Speaker 3: and some of these may come open middle of the year,
2:38
Speaker 3: depending on how some of these jobs look at, you know,
2:42
Speaker 3: look like when you look at a full breakdown. Sean
2:44
Speaker 3: Lewis is the head football coach at San Diego State.
2:47
Speaker 3: He spent two years building rebuilding San Diego State. And
2:51
Speaker 3: of course they're gonna be in the new you know,
2:53
Speaker 3: two point zero version as I call it, of the
2:54
Speaker 3: Pac twelve. They'll open up in this new conference. You know,
2:58
Speaker 3: they have done a remarkable turnaround. You know, under Sean Lewis,
3:05
Speaker 3: they went from three to nine to nine and four
3:08
Speaker 3: and then of course on the verge of making the
3:10
Speaker 3: Mountain West title game. Jason eck is another coach. He
3:14
Speaker 3: is at New Mexico. He has done again another big
3:17
Speaker 3: turnaround there at New Mexico that includes a nine and
3:20
Speaker 3: four season last year that included a win over UCLA.
3:22
Speaker 3: His nine wins were the most ever by a first
3:24
Speaker 3: year head coach at New Mexico. Former Wisconsin offensive lineman,
3:28
Speaker 3: He's climbed the coaching ranks. Some feel like he could
3:31
Speaker 3: be in line for a power for job. Jerry Mack
3:35
Speaker 3: is at Kennesaw State and he has done a wonderful job.
3:38
Speaker 3: He took a team that went it came off a
3:40
Speaker 3: two and ten season in its first year ever as
3:43
Speaker 3: an FBS program. In his first year on the job,
3:46
Speaker 3: he won double digit games, won Conference USA, he won
3:48
Speaker 3: the championship, got the suburban Atlanta Commuter School truly excited
3:53
Speaker 3: about football. He was previously head coach at North Carolina
3:56
Speaker 3: Central before making stints having stints at Rice as an assistant,
4:01
Speaker 3: Tennessee and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lance Taylor is a coach
4:05
Speaker 3: that's at Western Michigan. The former Notre Dame and Louisville assistant,
4:09
Speaker 3: entering his third year at Western Michigan, is coming off
4:12
Speaker 3: his first MAC title. Led the Broncos to a ten
4:15
Speaker 3: and four record in twenty twenty five, a seven to
4:17
Speaker 3: one record in conference play. Western Michigan Corps of last
4:21
Speaker 3: year's team is back for the fall. So if you're looking,
4:24
Speaker 3: you know, maybe better team in the back, Maybe look
4:27
Speaker 3: at Western Michigan as they have most of the guys
4:30
Speaker 3: back starters back off a ten and four team last year.
4:32
Speaker 3: Dan Mullen UNLV first season they went ten to four
4:37
Speaker 3: Mountain West Championship game appearance. He developed a Virginia quarterback
4:41
Speaker 3: transfer quarterback Anthony Calandria into the conference's offensive player of
4:46
Speaker 3: the year. Between stants Mississippi State and Florida, he has
4:49
Speaker 3: a one thirteen and sixty five overall mark, and of course,
4:52
Speaker 3: if he can find success at jack with Jackson Arnold
4:54
Speaker 3: this year as his quarterback, his name will definitely move
4:57
Speaker 3: back into the power for coaching circles for coaches that
5:01
Speaker 3: could jump back in there. Brian Hartline is at South Florida.
5:05
Speaker 3: Former Ohio State and NFL wide out went on to
5:08
Speaker 3: coach of Buck Eyes wide receivers for nearly a decade.
5:11
Speaker 3: He finally takes this job. A good year at South
5:14
Speaker 3: Florida would probably put him in line for somewhere.
5:17
Speaker 1: JG.
5:18
Speaker 3: Kine he is at or Kitty sees me at Texas State.
5:21
Speaker 3: Before arriving at Texas State, the Bobcats had not posted
5:25
Speaker 3: a winning season since twenty fourteen, He's strung together you know, eight, two,
5:29
Speaker 3: eight and five seasons before a seven and six campaign.
5:32
Speaker 3: So he is a guy who a lot of people
5:34
Speaker 3: feel like could be in the bulls eye as far
5:36
Speaker 3: as a new power for coaching job before comes open.
5:40
Speaker 3: Zach Kittley is at FAU. He is another one that
5:43
Speaker 3: people are looking at. Jeff Monkins's name gets thrown in
5:46
Speaker 3: a lot. He is a decade in at Army, and
5:49
Speaker 3: Army has had one losing season, you know, five years
5:52
Speaker 3: where at least nine wins and a six to one
5:55
Speaker 3: Bowl record. The question is is he want to leave?
5:57
Speaker 3: Does he want to leave Army? I think he's probably
5:59
Speaker 3: had opportunity before, but that has not happened. But his
6:03
Speaker 3: name constantly comes up. Spencer Danielson is the next one
6:06
Speaker 3: at Boise State. We've seen several Boise State coaches move
6:09
Speaker 3: into the Power four. He has a twenty four and
6:11
Speaker 3: eight record with a College Football Playoff appearance. Despite a
6:14
Speaker 3: step back in twenty twenty five without Heisman Trophy finalist
6:18
Speaker 3: Ashton genty, the Broncos are now the favorite again to
6:21
Speaker 3: win the Mountain West, and his name will continue to
6:25
Speaker 3: populate amongst the coaching ranks. Brian Newberry. He is at Navy.
6:30
Speaker 3: They've had back to back ten wins seasons, first time
6:32
Speaker 3: in Navy history. The Midshipman went twenty one and five
6:35
Speaker 3: with that span of two bowl wins power a Power
6:38
Speaker 3: Conference over Power Conference teams, and back to back victories
6:42
Speaker 3: over Army. It's the most wins in program history in
6:44
Speaker 3: a two year span. They went eleven and two in
6:46
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, tied with the tiede at the school
6:49
Speaker 3: records for wins. So, you know, you look at the
6:52
Speaker 3: Academy's Army and navies as good as they've been, you
6:54
Speaker 3: know collectively. Maybe ever, you'd have to go way back
6:57
Speaker 3: in time for that, you know, to kind of look
6:59
Speaker 3: at for that kind of success. Both of these coaches
7:02
Speaker 3: are on the radar. And you got several other guys
7:05
Speaker 3: here from you know, Charles Huff's name is on here
7:07
Speaker 3: from Memphis, of course, Charles Huff, you know, one year
7:10
Speaker 3: at Southern mess got them back, you know, the relevance
7:13
Speaker 3: Also Marshall, we'll see what he can. If he can
7:15
Speaker 3: continue the success at Memphis, I think that he probably will.
7:20
Speaker 3: Ricky Rain he is at Old Dominion, Old Dominion he
7:23
Speaker 3: let Old Dominion to ten wins last season. That's probably
7:26
Speaker 3: the most least talked about ten win team in the
7:28
Speaker 3: country last year was Old Dominion. And he has done
7:31
Speaker 3: a great a great job at Old Dominion. And you've
7:33
Speaker 3: got several other coaches out here as well from FIU
7:36
Speaker 3: Western Kentucky. Tyson Hilton at Western Kentucky continues his name
7:40
Speaker 3: continues to pop up for other jobs. And look, you
7:43
Speaker 3: hope Jeff Levy is successful at Mississippi State this year.
7:47
Speaker 3: These are some names. If Jeff Levey can't string together
7:50
Speaker 3: you know, you know, a winning season, we'll see what
7:52
Speaker 3: happens with Zach Selman. What does that look like? This
7:55
Speaker 3: could be you know, some of the lists of coaches,
7:57
Speaker 3: and there's some really good, you know, group of five
7:59
Speaker 3: coaches on this list. And we've also got a list
8:02
Speaker 3: of assistant coaches as well, you know, Power Conference coordinators
8:07
Speaker 3: who could be in line for jobs next year. And
8:11
Speaker 3: the you know, real quickly, the first one on that
8:13
Speaker 3: list is Briant Haynes. He is the defensive coordinator at
8:15
Speaker 3: Indiana and of course he has been with Kurt Signetti
8:18
Speaker 3: for quite a while and the job that he has
8:20
Speaker 3: done with that Indiana Defense and what they should look
8:23
Speaker 3: like again this year is nothing short of amazing. Six
8:26
Speaker 3: or one eight eight five three seven seven six. That
8:29

Speaker 3: Spirit and they are part of On three Sports. Jake,
10:34
Speaker 3: Welcome in, brother, How you doing.
10:36
Speaker 5: I'm doing good? Jay things saying me on.
10:39
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk Sunarian Perkins. When you look at
10:43
Speaker 3: Sunitarian Perkins, we'll start there at the defensive side of
10:45
Speaker 3: the ball for all misses they open up camp. Where
10:48
Speaker 3: do you see him kind of fitting in in this defense?
10:50
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously he is a factor. If he puts
10:51
Speaker 3: his hand on the ground or if he's a stand
10:53
Speaker 3: up player, you know, kind of behind that that defensive tackle,
10:56
Speaker 3: a defensive end, wherever they move him around. What is
10:59
Speaker 3: this season look like for him?
11:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think it's you know, they still
11:03
Speaker 5: list him as a linebacker on the on that roster,
11:06
Speaker 5: but I think he's he's going to once again be
11:08
Speaker 5: a hybrid uh you know, where they use him. It'll
11:12
Speaker 5: be interesting to see because you know, we've seen when
11:14
Speaker 5: he's most effective it's when he was either kind of
11:16
Speaker 5: a spy for the quarterback, like we saw you know
11:19
Speaker 5: him go against uh, you know Stetson Bennett and uh
11:24
Speaker 5: and and the Sugar Bowl there sorry uh and how
11:28
Speaker 5: well he was affected there, especially also against Alabama when
11:32
Speaker 5: he was the spy. That was you know, his most effectiveness.
11:35
Speaker 5: And then you know, when he's on the defensive end
11:37
Speaker 5: is where I think he's really the best suited for.
11:39
Speaker 5: Instead of a stand up kind of linebacker guy, I
11:42
Speaker 5: think he's better at the line where he gets a
11:43
Speaker 5: jump and can get around those offensive linemen. But you know,
11:47
Speaker 5: I think there, you know, he's going to be a
11:48
Speaker 5: player once again where he uh uh is used where
11:52
Speaker 5: repeat wants him to be. I don't know if he's
11:54
Speaker 5: going to have a set, uh set position. I think
11:57
Speaker 5: that's the hardest thing to predict about him. When I've
11:59
Speaker 5: kind of done some of these preseason, offseason summer looks
12:02
Speaker 5: looks of all their groups on defenses, where to put Perkins?
12:05
Speaker 5: Because everybody always kind of says when I mentioned the linebacker,
12:08
Speaker 5: I they say, why don't you put Perkins there? If
12:10
Speaker 5: I mentioned defensive vand why do you put Perkins there?
12:12
Speaker 5: So he's he's a wildcard, but I think he's a
12:14
Speaker 5: wildcard in a good way.
12:17
Speaker 3: Jake Thompson talking almost football or reps open camp tomorrow,
12:21
Speaker 3: I mean, when's the edition of the of the program
12:23
Speaker 3: all right, so you know, if you're kind of reading
12:25
Speaker 3: the tea leaves, what what's I mean? Obviously you want
12:28
Speaker 3: to get guys out, you got to get acclimated and everything,
12:30
Speaker 3: get you know, get everybody in line here. But what's
12:33
Speaker 3: the immediate needs for this football team as they open
12:35
Speaker 3: up camp?
12:37
Speaker 5: Uh? On offense, I think it's trying to figure out
12:39
Speaker 5: as camp rolls along and they get more you know,
12:41
Speaker 5: practice time, reps under as who there's going to be
12:44
Speaker 5: the right tackle. It feels like Theres Davis has got
12:47
Speaker 5: the left tackle locked down on the other side, and
12:51
Speaker 5: Pete Golding was praise praising Terres really really highly SEC
12:56
Speaker 5: media Day, saying, I think he felt that was the
12:57
Speaker 5: guy that had the biggest jump coming out of spring
12:59
Speaker 5: practic just heading into the summer, and you know, in
13:02
Speaker 5: individual workouts and so it feels like you've got left
13:05
Speaker 5: tackle figured out, but right tackle is where they really
13:08
Speaker 5: got to focus because I think everything else on offense
13:10
Speaker 5: is kind of locked down, or at least they know
13:13
Speaker 5: they've got guys in the wide receiver room and they
13:14
Speaker 5: can move around and can be real they want them,
13:17
Speaker 5: but you know, that fourth spot or fifth spot on
13:19
Speaker 5: that offensive line is kind of the one question mark
13:22
Speaker 5: heading into camp on offense, and you know on defense,
13:25
Speaker 5: it's I think sorting out who's going to be where
13:28
Speaker 5: in the secondary and who's going to kind of be
13:30
Speaker 5: your starters at cornerback and safety, and then who's going
13:33
Speaker 5: to be the guys to kind of rotate and maybe
13:35
Speaker 5: be secondary starters because there's depth. And Pete went to
13:38
Speaker 5: work in the portal and got brought in guys with
13:40
Speaker 5: the SEC experience and other experience to help building around
13:44
Speaker 5: returning Jalen Braxton, Antonio Kite. But that I think that's
13:48
Speaker 5: your two biggest question marks on both sides of the
13:50
Speaker 5: ball and in the boxes they need to check. Early
13:52
Speaker 5: in August, visit with.
13:54
Speaker 3: Jake Thompson talking almost Football Rebels open camp tomorrow Wednsday
13:57
Speaker 3: edition of your program. Right, so when you look at
13:59
Speaker 3: this offensive front, what can we expect out of this
14:03
Speaker 3: front this year? Obviously we know about Trinidad Chamblers, we
14:06
Speaker 3: know about Kewan Lacy, but the guys in front of them,
14:09
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about what that you know, may
14:10
Speaker 3: look like.
14:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know Bryce and Sanders is going to be
14:14
Speaker 5: your center. Uh, You've got a returning Delano Townsend and
14:18
Speaker 5: Patrick Cutis. I think it's going to be your guards,
14:21
Speaker 5: you know, and they can switch around. I think Cutis potentially,
14:24
Speaker 5: you know, we'll see if we can see what we
14:26
Speaker 5: can see, if we get to see a little bit
14:27
Speaker 5: of austin the line where he may be your backup center,
14:30
Speaker 5: or something happens to Sanders. But right now, all three
14:32
Speaker 5: of those guys are coming in healthy. And then, like
14:34
Speaker 5: I said, Davis feels like he's your left tackle. And
14:38
Speaker 5: so you've got four guys that you've had in your
14:40
Speaker 5: system on offense for a couple of years, either as
14:44
Speaker 5: starters or reserves that know what to do. And we're
14:47
Speaker 5: entering a similar system with John David Baker that Charlie
14:50
Speaker 5: Weiss and Kevinn put together. You know in years prior,
14:53
Speaker 5: so I think offensive line four out of five spots
14:56
Speaker 5: you feel good about. It's just building behind them and
14:58
Speaker 5: then also seeing you know who's going to be that
15:01
Speaker 5: guy to get that right tackle spot comes September sixth, you.
15:05
Speaker 3: Know, when you look at at the schedule, obviously with
15:08
Speaker 3: with Louisville coming up in the in game number one,
15:11
Speaker 3: there's no room for era. I mean, I know one
15:12
Speaker 3: Miss is going to be a favorite in that game,
15:14
Speaker 3: but I mean you think you know you play those
15:16
Speaker 3: Marquee Ball games week one where neutral side ball game,
15:20
Speaker 3: you got to be ready week one, right, Yeah?
15:23
Speaker 5: No, you know, Labor Day weekend has become an event weekend.
15:26
Speaker 5: It's not just games on Saturday for you anymore. You've
15:28
Speaker 5: got in stuff spread out on miss. Is that Sunday
15:31
Speaker 5: night primetime game. They were I think the only primetime
15:34
Speaker 5: game national game that I think Notre Dame's now added
15:37
Speaker 5: a game around that time as well. But in Louisville's
15:40
Speaker 5: not an easy out. You know, we've seen what Jeff
15:42
Speaker 5: Brown's been able to do up there last year. But
15:44
Speaker 5: you know, it is a Louisville team coming in with
15:46
Speaker 5: some question marks, you know, two new guys, a quarterback
15:49
Speaker 5: you know, out of the transfer portal, and some other
15:52
Speaker 5: pieces that they're going to have to work through. And
15:54
Speaker 5: you know, if you're all miss you feel like you're
15:56
Speaker 5: maybe the more prepared and more jailed team coming into
15:59
Speaker 5: that game. It's tough to be the team that's got
16:01
Speaker 5: a lot of new pieces that have never been there before,
16:04
Speaker 5: you know, like you know, out of the portal and
16:05
Speaker 5: not played as a team outside of fall camp. So
16:08
Speaker 5: you know, almost probably has the edge there. But but
16:10
Speaker 5: it's you know, I think it started as seven and
16:12
Speaker 5: a half the line and it fell to six and
16:13
Speaker 5: a half and kind of stayed there, and you know,
16:15
Speaker 5: it's camp rose along and maybe some tidbits get out
16:18
Speaker 5: on both sides. I wouldn't be surprised if that creeps
16:20
Speaker 5: a little closer because I think, I mean, Louisville feels
16:23
Speaker 5: like a fringe top twenty five team. They were just
16:26
Speaker 5: on the outside of the coach's pole, and I think
16:27
Speaker 5: in a couple of weeks they may be just inside
16:29
Speaker 5: it or in the same spot, you know, in the
16:31
Speaker 5: ap pole, and so it's it's gonna be two good
16:34
Speaker 5: teams that have, you know, big goals and dreams for
16:36
Speaker 5: this season, and nobody wants to start zero to one.
16:40
Speaker 3: When you look at special teams this year, Obviously special
16:43
Speaker 3: teams was very good for Ole Miss last year. What
16:45
Speaker 3: does that look like this year?
16:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got a Lucas Carnero back place kicker at
16:50
Speaker 5: you know, obviously wild and impressed everybody throughout the season,
16:53
Speaker 5: especially Sugar Bowl with those kicks he made. And you've
16:56
Speaker 5: got Oscar Burr, the Australian back as punter who you know,
17:00
Speaker 5: don't you didn't see much and that's kind of I
17:02
Speaker 5: think he's okay with not being out there that often.
17:04
Speaker 5: That means the offense is doing what it's supposed to do.
17:06
Speaker 5: But you've got two guys that are back and considered
17:09
Speaker 5: all American, all the SEC type players, so there's not
17:12
Speaker 5: any new turnover there and having to start with somebody fresh.
17:15
Speaker 5: So as special teams wise, I think they're they're feel
17:17
Speaker 5: really really good and Lucas can give them depth. If
17:20
Speaker 5: if a drive stalls, you know at midfield or a
17:22
Speaker 5: little past it that they've got a leg that can
17:24
Speaker 5: get them some points if they need to, and you've
17:26
Speaker 5: got a coach that will think about getting those three
17:29
Speaker 5: instead of trying some kind of fourth down play more
17:31
Speaker 5: times than not.
17:31
Speaker 3: Now, as well, let's finish it up and talk a
17:34
Speaker 3: little recruiting. Recruiting never stops, just kind of the buzz
17:36
Speaker 3: around the program and what you're here, and you know,
17:39
Speaker 3: from high school guys. You know, possibly abvious transfers are
17:43
Speaker 3: off the table right now, but just high school guys,
17:44
Speaker 3: junior college guys, as almost tries to button his class
17:47
Speaker 3: up and then of course recruit for the future.
17:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you know, dead period kind of wraps up
17:52
Speaker 5: at July was really quiet. You know, obviously June was
17:55
Speaker 5: really good when Pete land and you know, three of
17:57
Speaker 5: the top four guys in the state almost kind of
17:59
Speaker 5: clean sweet, but couldn't get that last one in. And
18:02
Speaker 5: you know, July he really focused on his current roster
18:05
Speaker 5: and team. But August, you know, I think they're going
18:07
Speaker 5: to fire it back up. I don't know who else
18:08
Speaker 5: is still on their board because they had such a
18:10
Speaker 5: successful summer at the moment, you know, it's kind of
18:12
Speaker 5: having a reset and realign with who they're still trying
18:14
Speaker 5: to get. But this twenty to twenty seven class, if
18:16
Speaker 5: they can keep it locked in where it is heading
18:19
Speaker 5: into December signing day, it's going to be another top fifteen,
18:23
Speaker 5: top twenty class. Which for Pete, you know, that's a
18:25
Speaker 5: good place to start for him heading into his first
18:27
Speaker 5: school season, a firstchool recruiting cycle at the Helm. And
18:30
Speaker 5: I think that's where all miss is going to continue
18:33
Speaker 5: to succeed is at the high school level with the
18:35
Speaker 5: relationships that Pete has and how well he does that
18:38
Speaker 5: recruiting and really gets involved in it himself from start
18:40
Speaker 5: to finish, and with some of these coaches he's brought
18:43
Speaker 5: in and Terrence Metcalf and other guys, you know, not
18:45
Speaker 5: just with the Mississippi Ties, but you know in the
18:47
Speaker 5: surrounding states and areas as well. So I think all
18:50
Speaker 5: this is, you know, going to be well in that
18:51
Speaker 5: department if they if things keep going good for them,
18:53
Speaker 5: you know in the windsor Hoss call make.
18:56
Speaker 3: Sure to get him on X check them out on

20:50
Speaker 3: athletic director on your radio. Well, thank you, sir. How
20:53
Speaker 3: are you?
20:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm great, Jake, thanks for coming today.
20:55
Speaker 3: You know, we were talking a little history here and
20:58
Speaker 3: you said your father worked here and you can remember
21:01
Speaker 3: when you were four years old, like Jackson Prep has
21:03
Speaker 3: been a part of your life forever. You don't hear
21:06
Speaker 3: a lot of stories like that. That is amazing.
21:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's rare, it is, and it's it's one that
21:11
Speaker 1: I'm certainly thankful for. But yeah, I mean literally as
21:14
Speaker 1: long as I remember being alive when munt had started
21:17
Speaker 1: working here in seventy four, when I was four years old.
21:20
Speaker 1: I just I remember being out here at athletic events,
21:24
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out with him and hanging out with
21:25
Speaker 1: all the athletes and the players and locker room. So
21:29
Speaker 1: Jackson Prepp has been a part of my life pretty
21:32
Speaker 1: much my entire life.
21:34
Speaker 3: Talk about the growth not only at Prep, but what
21:36
Speaker 3: you've seen with them. As you know, I told you
21:39
Speaker 3: when I started in five, I was covering Park Laye
21:41
Speaker 3: in Centerville, uh just as a stringer for a South
21:44
Speaker 3: Mississippi newspaper. Some of those Prep Park Laye battles especially,
21:49
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's been some since then. But when
21:51
Speaker 3: you go back before you know the rise of m
21:53
Speaker 3: ra A obviously what's going on at Heartfield, it was
21:57
Speaker 3: Park Lane and Prep, wasn't it.
21:59
Speaker 2: It was?
21:59
Speaker 1: And that was one of the great historical rivalries of
22:02
Speaker 1: the of the m a I s starting back in
22:04
Speaker 1: the early eighties. And uh so you know that that's
22:08
Speaker 1: some great history, uh for for Prep and and and
22:12
Speaker 1: Park Lane, but also for the m a I s.
22:14
Speaker 1: And you know there were some there were some old
22:16
Speaker 1: rivalries back then. A lot of those Delta schools were
22:20
Speaker 1: so powerful back then, and so you had some old rivalries.
22:23
Speaker 1: But you know the good thing about the m a
22:25
Speaker 1: I s that has changed, uh is the parody. And
22:30
Speaker 1: Uh you've got some of those great rivalries still, but
22:34
Speaker 1: that may just be different schools and and so the
22:38
Speaker 1: the the competition in the m a I s Uh,
22:41
Speaker 1: and the parody is is wonderful.
22:43
Speaker 3: Visit with Will Crosby, he's athletics director. Of course he
22:45
Speaker 3: teed us up here today. We appreciate him putting us
22:48
Speaker 3: up here today. We were joking, but we're joking in
22:51
Speaker 3: a good way. Being Rod was with Missippi Sports Medicine.
22:53
Speaker 3: It says all the places we go visit together. We
22:56
Speaker 3: try to get to as many schools as we can.
22:58
Speaker 3: We don't sit in a room like this one with
22:59
Speaker 3: this any trophies and awards. I mean, just the history
23:03
Speaker 3: of this school. Talk a little bit about that. Of
23:04
Speaker 3: course you're a big part of that. Football obviously is
23:07
Speaker 3: right in the in the sites, but just the overall
23:10
Speaker 3: athletic the state of the athletic program here today.
23:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're look, we're we're fortunate. We've got
23:16
Speaker 1: great families and great kids and and and great student
23:19
Speaker 1: athletes and that that uh support us well and a
23:23
Speaker 1: great coaching staff, and so we're we're really lucky to
23:26
Speaker 1: have the success that we do and and the wins
23:29
Speaker 1: and the championships and uh, you know that certainly makes
23:33
Speaker 1: it fun. I mean, that's that's part of the experience,
23:35
Speaker 1: right Sure, Uh winning makes a good experience, but that's
23:38
Speaker 1: not uh. You know what we say all the time is, uh,
23:43
Speaker 1: you know, we've got a goal and a purpose, and
23:44
Speaker 1: our goal is to win. Every time we step out
23:48
Speaker 1: there on any kind of competitive uh field or court.
23:51
Speaker 2: Uh.
23:52
Speaker 1: We want to win. And we don't really make any
23:53
Speaker 1: apologies for that. But our purposes beyond that, our purposes
23:58
Speaker 1: to to help create experiences for those student athletes that
24:03
Speaker 1: choose to be a part of our athletic program. That's
24:07
Speaker 1: really our purpose is we want them to we want
24:09
Speaker 1: to help them grow and become good people, and we
24:12
Speaker 1: want them to have a good experience for being a
24:14
Speaker 1: part of whatever program they've chosen. And at the end
24:17
Speaker 1: of it, as they're walking away graduating, if they can
24:20
Speaker 1: look back and say, I'm a better person for being
24:22
Speaker 1: a part of this athletic program and had a great time,
24:25
Speaker 1: and I wish I could do it again, and we've
24:27
Speaker 1: certainly served our purpose.
24:29
Speaker 3: And of course we talk a lot a lot with
24:31
Speaker 3: the other athletic directors about this, regardless of m AI
24:34
Speaker 3: S or MHA say, the growth of opportunities for students.
24:37
Speaker 3: So for instance, you know volleyball now, just like we
24:41
Speaker 3: talked to your head volleyball coach, that wasn't a thing
24:43
Speaker 3: ten years ago. You look at you know, the expansion
24:46
Speaker 3: of track and field, and then maybe something like archery
24:50
Speaker 3: or you know, bass fishing at some schools, just schools,
24:53
Speaker 3: And I tap hat tip to schools for doing this.
24:55
Speaker 3: They're giving more options for students now to be involved
24:59
Speaker 3: in other things, which is great for students and families.
25:02
Speaker 1: It really is, and and and and it is that
25:05
Speaker 1: that is so great for our kids, for our students
25:07
Speaker 1: that uh that have more opportunities to be involved that
25:10
Speaker 1: those that just want to be a part of a team, right,
25:13
Speaker 1: and and so it gives them more opportunities. I use
25:17
Speaker 1: my my dad a few years before he passed away,
25:20
Speaker 1: we would give each other grief and I would tell him, like,
25:23
Speaker 1: you man, you had it so easy as athletic director.
25:25
Speaker 1: What do you have like seven sports that you have? Right?
25:28
Speaker 1: You know, but uh, it's just so different. You mentioned volleyball.
25:34
Speaker 1: You know when back when when dad was athletic director,
25:37
Speaker 1: there was no softball, girls softball team, there was no
25:40
Speaker 1: girls soccer team. There was you know, there was no
25:42
Speaker 1: true swimming season, volleyball and and and so yeah, all
25:47
Speaker 1: these great opportunities archery, these new sports that may have
25:52
Speaker 1: been around a while, you know, starting from today, but
25:55
Speaker 1: but yeah, the opportunities that they have now that these
25:58
Speaker 1: student athletes have now across the board at all of
26:02
Speaker 1: our schools is is great because you just you the
26:06
Speaker 1: more you get involved, the more students you get involved,
26:10
Speaker 1: the more students you get to reach.
26:12
Speaker 3: And then of course, you know, and I know you'll
26:15
Speaker 3: probably be very modest with this, but the the athletic
26:17
Speaker 3: director side, the role, that's a high pressure job now,
26:20
Speaker 3: I mean, and it always has been, but it seems
26:22
Speaker 3: like it gets more and more because you drive past here,
26:24
Speaker 3: you drive up into this beautiful campus. There's beautiful facilities.
26:27
Speaker 3: But that doesn't just happen. From the fundraising side to
26:31
Speaker 3: making sure every team is taken care of, from uniforms
26:34
Speaker 3: to you know, weight rooms to maybe meals on game days,
26:38
Speaker 3: there's a lot of moving parts for an athletic director.
26:40
Speaker 1: It is. It's a lot of moving parts, and it's
26:42
Speaker 1: a lot of time, a lot of time away from home,
26:45
Speaker 1: a lot of time on campus. And and that's okay.
26:47
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a place that I love, and
26:50
Speaker 1: I work with a lot of people that I love.
26:52
Speaker 1: But you know, those those people, those coaches, the administrators here,
26:57
Speaker 1: the families, the students, they're the ones who put in
27:01
Speaker 1: the real work and make my job really easy. And
27:05
Speaker 1: you know, my I think my most important job is
27:08
Speaker 1: to try to hire and retain the best coaches and
27:11
Speaker 1: just get out of their way. Right, So I step
27:13
Speaker 1: aside and I'm able to do a lot of watching
27:14
Speaker 1: and and and spending time watching these kids compete.
27:18
Speaker 3: We'll get you out of here with this, and I
27:19
Speaker 3: appreciate your time, and then we'll have one more segment here.
27:21
Speaker 3: But when you look at the calendar this year, it
27:24
Speaker 3: looks like another really you know, bright future, you know,
27:26
Speaker 3: as far as the year athletic and academic calendar for
27:29
Speaker 3: as you guys start school tomorrow.
27:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, we start school tomorrow. We've already started a couple
27:33
Speaker 1: of our sports. Softballs played a few times, volleyballs had
27:36
Speaker 1: had several matches, So yeah, I mean it we have
27:39
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. And there I was talking a
27:42
Speaker 1: rod earlier. There's there's no really not much of a
27:45
Speaker 1: summer left anymore for it's really not for athletics. And
27:49
Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean it stays busy around here in
27:51
Speaker 1: the summer, just as busy in the school year. But yeah,
27:54
Speaker 1: we start school Friday and we'll have a few more
27:58
Speaker 1: fall sports about to kick off with of course football
28:00
Speaker 1: and cross country and swimming coming up and cheers. So, uh,
28:04
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a busy fall. It's going to be
28:06
Speaker 1: a busy year. But that's that's uh, that's part of
28:08
Speaker 1: the business and that's why we like it. He's Will
28:10
Speaker 1: Crosby starting.
28:11
Speaker 3: Your number thirty five here at Jackson Prep, and of
28:14
Speaker 3: course he is the athletics director. Well, thank you so
28:15
Speaker 3: much for having us over today. Yeah, thanks for coming, Jake.
28:17
Speaker 3: One more segment to go. We are brought to you
28:19
Speaker 3: by Maristar Casino and Clinton Body Shop. Back in just
28:21
Speaker 3: a minute, you did Afternoons Afternoon.
28:24
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Afternoon Drive Quiver where he's talking
28:28
Speaker 2: about anything and everything that business of the sports.
28:30
Speaker 5: Great afternoon right here Ron.
28:32
Speaker 2: ESPN one o five point nine in the Zone and
28:34
Speaker 2: gone Whine world wide on the Zone one oh five
28:37
Speaker 2: nine dot com.
29:01
Speaker 3: Final segments on a Wednesday, we are brought to you
29:05
Speaker 3: by Corvin Career Construction. Let them help you with all
29:07
Speaker 3: of your roofing needs from commercial to residential and more. Again,
29:11
Speaker 3: so of course find them on Facebook and of course
29:13
Speaker 3: give him a shout at Corvin Greer Construction. Today, I
29:16
Speaker 3: want to say thanks to Jackson Prepp for having us
29:18
Speaker 3: out today. As we continue on, we'll be back with
29:21
Speaker 3: you tomorrow and Friday. Dan Mullen, we talked about Dan
29:25
Speaker 3: Mullen just a little bit from the point of if
29:28
Speaker 3: Dan Mullen has a really good year this year that
29:31
Speaker 3: you could see here back in the in the power
29:33
Speaker 3: for next year. Well, Dan Mullen, who's you know, always
29:37
Speaker 3: been kind of quirky with words, and well Dan Mullen
29:39
Speaker 3: is back being quirky with words. Dan Mullen was talking
29:42
Speaker 3: about the end of his Florida tenure and he says, quote,
29:47
Speaker 3: probably talking about Florida now probably hasn't gone as well
29:51
Speaker 3: there since I had left. It's been nearly five years
29:54
Speaker 3: since Dan Mullen's tenure and Florida came to an end.
29:56
Speaker 3: Two signs parted ways after the end of the twenty
29:59
Speaker 3: twenty one season, and after three seasons with ESPN, he
30:02
Speaker 3: returned to the sidelines in twenty twenty five at UNLV,
30:05
Speaker 3: but during an appearance Wednesday on The Paul Finebaum Show,
30:09
Speaker 3: Mullin looked back at his time as the Gators head coach.
30:12
Speaker 3: He also pointed out the program struggles after his departure,
30:16
Speaker 3: which ultimately led to another change at the top. Mullin
30:19
Speaker 3: had a thirty four and fifteen overall record during his
30:21
Speaker 3: four seasons at Florida, including a twenty one to thirteen
30:23
Speaker 3: mark in SEC play. After bringing in Billy Napier, the
30:27
Speaker 3: Gators went twenty two to twenty three before again making
30:30
Speaker 3: a change and now bringing in John summer Off. Mullin
30:33
Speaker 3: said he knew what the expectations were at Florida based
30:37
Speaker 3: on his time as an assistant, but made clear the
30:39
Speaker 3: program didn't live up to them. However, he hinted that
30:42
Speaker 3: things maybe looked differently if the College Football Playoff had
30:46
Speaker 3: existed during his current format or during its current format.
30:49
Speaker 1: Quote.
30:49
Speaker 3: We want a lot of games, said Mullin, But you
30:52
Speaker 3: know what, in today's world, when you're he says, when
30:57
Speaker 3: you're at a premier school, to win, and he said
31:01
Speaker 3: that twice. By the way, that's why Paul's when you're
31:04
Speaker 3: at a premier school, that's a typo. At Florida, they
31:08
Speaker 3: expect championships. I was at Florida as an assistant coach
31:11
Speaker 3: who won two national titles. That's the standard. And again,
31:15
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's really the standard at Florida.
31:17
Speaker 3: These coaches keep saying this. Bulin said that John Someummer
31:20
Speaker 3: all said that we're expected to win. Only Steve Spry
31:23
Speaker 3: and Irbermeyers won championships there. I don't know that that's
31:25
Speaker 3: the standard, but that keeps being told to everybody. Gator
31:28
Speaker 3: Matt tells us that I don't know that that's the
31:30
Speaker 3: standard at Florida, But anyway, I digress.
31:33
Speaker 1: Quote.
31:33
Speaker 3: That was the standard when I got there. We got
31:36
Speaker 3: to an SEC championship game, fell a couple of points
31:39
Speaker 3: short of Alabama. But our standard from day one when
31:41
Speaker 3: I got there was championships. We weren't able to come through,
31:45
Speaker 3: even though we fell a couple of points short. And
31:48
Speaker 3: he kept saying that, by the way, well, we were
31:51
Speaker 3: a couple of points short. We were just a couple
31:52
Speaker 3: of day and you didn't get it done. You didn't
31:55
Speaker 3: get it done. He goes on to say, quote, and
31:57
Speaker 3: I think maybe if the playoff era was around, I
31:59
Speaker 3: think three out of my four years, we would have
32:02
Speaker 3: made the college football playoff. He goes on to say that,
32:07
Speaker 3: and let me get back over here to this real
32:12
Speaker 3: quickly as this thing decided just to freeze up on me.
32:15
Speaker 3: And he goes on to say, basically, if the college
32:18
Speaker 3: football playoff era that we knew today was around back then,
32:22
Speaker 3: he'd still be around. He said, things would have been differently,
32:25
Speaker 3: he said. He said, my resume would have looked a
32:29
Speaker 3: little differently. He said, but hey, that's what it is.
32:31
Speaker 3: He said, we probably hasn't gone He said, we might
32:34
Speaker 3: have even won a national championship. Now, I don't know
32:36
Speaker 3: how he went to that direction with it, but he did.
32:40
Speaker 3: And then he said, but hey, it is what it is.
32:43
Speaker 3: Probably has it gone as well there since I left.
32:46
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like, at least to me, a very
32:50
Speaker 3: weird Dan Mullen conversation. I don't know how he went
32:54
Speaker 3: from if the playoff would have been around today, back then,
32:58
Speaker 3: I might have won a national time. But that's Dan
33:02
Speaker 3: Mullen and then of course he takes a shot at
33:05
Speaker 3: Florida's you know existing situation six or one eight, eight, five, three, seven,
33:09
Speaker 3: seven six if you want to Texas, And of course
33:12
Speaker 3: let me get you called back up on some notes
33:14
Speaker 3: from today, some other stuff that's out there, Bud Elliott,
33:19
Speaker 3: and you can follow him on X At Bud Elliott three,
33:22
Speaker 3: he says, I took a stab at the preseason top
33:23
Speaker 3: twenty five. I think it's really tight eight to fifteen
33:28
Speaker 3: is talking about the position ranked number eight versus fifteen.
33:31
Speaker 3: He said, there's no more than he said, it's real tight,
33:34
Speaker 3: and there are more than ten teams that could win
33:35
Speaker 3: the title. Now Bud says ten. I say eight, It
33:39
Speaker 3: could be ten. He said, Also think the odds the
33:42
Speaker 3: title is won by a team with a legit first
33:44
Speaker 3: round QB or higher this year than last because of
33:47
Speaker 3: how many there might be. So Bud Elliott's preseason top
33:50
Speaker 3: twenty five, he has Oregon is the number one team
33:54
Speaker 3: in the country, Miami is the number two team in
33:57
Speaker 3: the country. And again I have no problem with this,
34:00
Speaker 3: and I say this on all these this year because
34:01
Speaker 3: it's I think it's razor thin. Indiana number three Ohio
34:05
Speaker 3: State number four. He has Georgia five, Notre Dame six.
34:10
Speaker 3: He has Texas number seven with a star. He said,
34:13
Speaker 3: the star is if I trusted Sark's team. If I
34:15
Speaker 3: trusted Sark, Texas is number two. So he's basically said, hey, look,
34:19
Speaker 3: the team talent is there, I just don't trust Starkijan
34:21
Speaker 3: LSU eight, Texas Tech nine, and Oklahoma ten. He has
34:26
Speaker 3: Oklahoma or Ole miss at eleven, Alabama twelve, USC thirteen,
34:30
Speaker 3: and some notables here, Michigan at fourteen, Tennessee at fifteen,
34:33
Speaker 3: Texas A and m at sixteen. As far as the SEC,
34:37
Speaker 3: and you know, that's the big thing is how many
34:40
Speaker 3: teams can really win the national title this year. I mean,
34:43
Speaker 3: I do think Oregon, without a doubt, can win the
34:45
Speaker 3: national title this year. They check a lot of boxes.
34:47
Speaker 3: I think Miami could win the national title. I think
34:50
Speaker 3: there is a chance Indiana could repeat. I think you
34:54
Speaker 3: have to take Kirt signetty Sirius, and you have to
34:56
Speaker 3: take that coaching staff serious in that program. I think
34:59
Speaker 3: Ohi State could win it. Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas. You
35:03
Speaker 3: know that's that's my seven. And then you know seven
35:08
Speaker 3: to eight and I say seven to eight because I
35:10
Speaker 3: think there could be another team falling there. You know,
35:12
Speaker 3: could LSU win the national title and you're one of
35:14
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. It's it's possible. A lot of it's going
35:17
Speaker 3: to depend on Sam Levitt and a lot of it's
35:19
Speaker 3: going to depend on how well they played, you know,
35:21
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball. I don't think Texas
35:23
Speaker 3: Tech could win it. I know a lot of people
35:26
Speaker 3: feel like Texas Tech is at a point they could
35:28
Speaker 3: if the quarterback situation pans out or we don't know
35:31
Speaker 3: what that's going to look like. Maybe they make a
35:34
Speaker 3: push defensively, they're going to be good. They've got dudes.
35:37
Speaker 3: But I just don't see it. You know, Oklahoma is again.
35:40
Speaker 3: I agree with Carter Bryant. They're a very intriguing team
35:43
Speaker 3: this year. Very intriguing. I mean, John Butttier, I am
35:47
Speaker 3: really looking forward to seeing, you know, what does his
35:50
Speaker 3: ceiling look like this year? And it may not be
35:52
Speaker 3: it may not be good. I mean I think he
35:54
Speaker 3: was pretty darn good before the Texas injury, the thumb
35:57
Speaker 3: injury last year, or before the thumb injury, and then
35:59
Speaker 3: came back to Texas game and did not look the
36:02
Speaker 3: same part, you know, Ole mess I think could be
36:05
Speaker 3: a playoff team. I don't know that they can win it.
36:08
Speaker 3: I want to see what they look like defensively, and
36:09
Speaker 3: I want to see what this coaching staff looks like. Alabama,
36:13
Speaker 3: I don't think they can win it, not until they
36:17
Speaker 3: proved to me they can run the football. I'm taking
36:20
Speaker 3: USC off the table. I'm taking Michigan off the table. Tennessee.
36:23
Speaker 3: Texas A and M is the only other team I
36:25
Speaker 3: think that's out there. If you start talking eight to ten,
36:29
Speaker 3: you got to go to Texas A and M because
36:30
Speaker 3: of how well they've recruited, how good they are defensively,
36:34
Speaker 3: the fact that they have maybe well for sure with
36:36
Speaker 3: the best wide receiver I think in the SEC. But
36:39
Speaker 3: then you look at you know, how good is Marcell Reid?
36:43
Speaker 3: Can Marcell Reid be that elite type quarterback to take
36:48
Speaker 3: Texas A and M to that next next level? All right,
36:51
Speaker 3: let's see here real quickly. John somer Else, speaking of Florida,
36:55
Speaker 3: John SOMERL was on the podium preseason type stuff doing
36:58
Speaker 3: a media appearance. He said he did I didn't like
37:00
Speaker 3: the layout of the weight room that he inherited. So
37:03
Speaker 3: this is you know shot at billionnapyer effets what you want?
37:05
Speaker 3: He said, I'm not trying to take shots. But what's
37:07
Speaker 3: he gonna do? Take a shot. But there's a bad,
37:10
Speaker 3: a big patch of turf in the weight room. We've
37:13
Speaker 3: got one hundred and twenty yards of turf right outside.
37:16
Speaker 3: I don't need turf in a weight room. I need
37:18
Speaker 3: weights in a weight room. I'm not gonna disagree with
37:20
Speaker 3: you on that, right, I mean, Rod shake and he said,
37:23
Speaker 3: he agrees. I mean, I can't pretend to know. I've
37:26
Speaker 3: not been into side of Florida's weight room or there
37:28
Speaker 3: are indoor facilities. But why you would have turf in
37:31
Speaker 3: a weight room when you have a as he said,
37:34
Speaker 3: I've got one hundred and twenty yards of turf outside.
37:36
Speaker 3: So John Simmer says, hey, I need turf or I
37:39
Speaker 3: need weights in a weight room. And let's see here.
37:43
Speaker 3: Also some other notes if you missed it. Tennessee's Josh
37:47
Speaker 3: Hipel is not happy, and we'll see if Tennessee challenges
37:51
Speaker 3: this NCAA suspension of linebacker Arian Carter. But Joshipel not happy,
37:56
Speaker 3: and most everybody agrees this, this whole ruling of a
37:58
Speaker 3: two game suspension over one hundred and twenty five dollars
38:01
Speaker 3: plane ticket is very very perplexing. And then if you
38:06
Speaker 3: missed it, also Stefan Diggs is expected to sign. This
38:10
Speaker 3: was four hours ago courtesy of Adam Schefter, a one
38:12
Speaker 3: year deal worth up to twelve million dollars for the Commanders.
38:15
Speaker 3: So you know, if you're having your fantasy drafts and
38:18
Speaker 3: you're looking for another receiver, Stefan Diggs is going to
38:20
Speaker 3: be out there for the Commanders. And also more chatter
38:24
Speaker 3: out here on this college football playoff or should be
38:27
Speaker 3: the ruling or not ruling, but the new college football
38:33
Speaker 3: deal going on there in DC. And then of course
38:35
Speaker 3: the College Football playof Committee supposed to meet here in
38:37
Speaker 3: the coming days to discuss the twenty four team playoff expansion.
38:42
Speaker 3: And Netflix is set to release quote untold, it's going
38:45
Speaker 3: to be the name of it, the Vince the Vince Young,
38:47
Speaker 3: the testimony of Vince Young on August twenty fifth, So
38:50
Speaker 3: that's the testimony events Young called untold August twenty fifth,
38:54
Speaker 3: if I can talk, and that should be really really
38:57
Speaker 3: good on Netflix. And again if you miss the coaches
39:01
Speaker 3: pole was released yesterday and the number one team courtesy
39:04
Speaker 3: of the coaches pole is Ohio, State, number two is Oregon,
39:08
Speaker 3: number three is Georgia, Texas four and Notre Dame five
39:12
Speaker 3: and Indiana so far looks to be the biggest winner
39:15
Speaker 3: of this new player returned sweet sakes in the wake
39:20
Speaker 3: of the district court ruining in Colorado. Indiana star defensive
39:23
Speaker 3: lineman step Stephen Dally Stephan Daley, who led the team
39:27
Speaker 3: with the nineteen tackles for loss World, return to the
39:29
Speaker 3: Hoosiers for his fifth year. Excuse me, sources tell Pete Thammil,
39:34
Speaker 3: that is a big get for Indiana to get him back.
39:36
Speaker 3: He really anchored that Indiana defense, you know last year.
39:41
Speaker 3: With everything going on. I want to say thanks to
39:43
Speaker 3: Jackson Prep. I want to say thanks to Carter Brian.
39:46
Speaker 3: I want to say thanks to Jake Thompson jumping in.
39:47
Speaker 3: We'll be back with you tomorrow. As we continue to
39:50
Speaker 3: move along and the week camp opens up around the SEC,

40:04
Speaker 3: from front off of sports to the Big ten at
40:06
Speaker 3: SEC got clarity on the college sports Enforcement. The latest
40:09
Speaker 3: Protect College Sports Draft would not create a new enforcement body,
40:13
Speaker 3: but schools could face fines or suspensions for violating sharing
40:19
Speaker 3: limits of revenue. Appreciate b Appreciate our team here at
