  Speaker 2: Did you Taylor to text each other this morning? Just happened?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Or getting half to? I saw them walk in. I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, we go. It's right.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: We're waking up with eighty eight to eighty nine percent
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: of Baton rouge men this morning.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all wearing vest Let's go.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: It's a good day. It's a good day to be
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: an American. What are you laughing at best season. Serious,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: best season is the best season, that's what they say.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I just know you were so excited. It was so exciting.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: It was because you don't blow out my pocket. Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: love pockets. I don't have to put guess what, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: don't have to put my phone that's heavy. I don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: have to put it in my pant pocket anymore. Okay,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: we're in my vest pocket. Where's your fanny pack that
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: you used to wear? I keep it in my backpack.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I throw it on and off. So I got this.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I got this new phone cover. It's not new anymore.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: It was new about six months ago. It keeps my
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: ID and my credit card right there. So somebody steals
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: your phone, yeah, I'm done after that. But guess what,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: they can't steal my phone because it's in my best pocket.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Good luck?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Is that from an Instagram ad that got you to
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: get that phone case?
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: No, it's because I you know, I don't like putting
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: things like in my pant pockets. I don't like you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I don't like wallets, don't like keys in there. That's
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: why I started wearing a fanny pack. Actually, I started
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: wearing a fanny pack after Vest season. Because I got
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: rid of my pockets. Yeah, my convenient pockets that I
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: had right on my person, and so I got a
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: fanny pack and.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Got me through.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: But now and a lot of it was just because
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I wanted to carry my while wallet around not in
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: my pocket. But now I got this new iPhone cover.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: All right, anyway, enough about me. How are you doing?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Strong? And quite strong? Okay, like your portfolio.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Uh hey, it's it's Wednesday today, that it is, Derek.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Guess what those were some really aggressive, really enthusiastic, really
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: positive vibe yeohs that we all gave today.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, guess what. We flipped the flipped the corner. We
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: turned it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Well, we did, for sure. And look, my my sad
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: yos on Monday were for the play on.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: The field, not the coaching vacancy. No, I mean it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: play on the field was poor. It's quite poor, like yourfolio.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Exactly exactly. And you know, then we started talking about tape.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: We started watching tape together. It made me more angry,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: more mad. But yeah, well, you know, an opportunity and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: yesterday Frank Wilson, the inter head coach, you know, for
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the first time I met with the media. We'll play
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: some of that a little bit later on, got me
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: feeling good, get me feeling rejuvenated. Frank is the man.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Love Frank and love that he cares. Oh, I love that.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: It means a lot to him. I love that Louisiana
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and LSU means a lot to him. So as a
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: former player, not that it matters at all, but that
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: means a lot to me, And I think that means
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a lot to the fans.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: That's a perfect person to try to steady the ship
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: right now too, because you got a lot of turmoil.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: You have recruits you have to talk to, you, you
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: have current players that you have to recruit. You have
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: to hold the line if you will hold the rope.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: And he's the perfect person to do right now. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: what he said yesterday was great. It meant a lot too,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: probably a lot of us that listen to it and
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: heard the words that he was saying and just the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: way he was doing it and the attitude that he's
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: bringing to it. It is not a self serving attitude.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: It is a LSU serving attitude. And that was great
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: to hear.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Again, like I just said, like as a former player
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: watching that, it was like, Yep, this guy gets it
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: and he always has. That's why he has the respect
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: of current players, former players, coaching staffs. He's very well respected,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: very well liked around that entire staff, around all the players,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: and he's the perfect fit for the guy to come
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: in right now in this time of turmoil, in this
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: time where you have three losses, but you got a
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: lot of season left to play. It's easy for a
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: program to kind of take a step back when something
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: like this happens because of all the people that you
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: could potentially lose, all the recruits, you potentially lose the talent.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The talent leaving.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: But he's the right guy at the right time to
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: take on this task. And it is a tall task.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: It's a hard task. You gotta buy a week, you
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: gotta go to Alabama. It's uh, it's not easy. Doesn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: get easy from here, right, do you know what? Still
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: the same roster, yeah, that we had before the season. True,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Still the same roster that went into Clemson beat Florida here,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: should have could have would on a couple of different games,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: beat South Carolina, who just went toe to toe with Alabama.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yep, this year more than any year.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a little unexpected I really know how
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: it's gonna play out, yep. And I feel much more
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: confident that it's going to be a four quarter situation
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and not just a first half situation.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: And I think I think Frank just kind of gets
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: it right. He gets it from all aspects. He gets
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: he gets in tips his cap and thinks he thinks
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Brian Kelly.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But he also knows that different things have to happen
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and change.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: And I know he's reached out to a lot of
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: former players, yeah, including us, yep.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And I can tell you we're excited. He's got our support.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. Yep.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And again we'll play some of the sound that he
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: had from his opening press conference. And it's a great
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: point about it is the same roster. It is the
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: same Jimmies and Joe's that we were excited about before
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the year, and now it's about getting the most out
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: of said Jimmy's and Joe's. And you've been in this
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: situation before, and we talked about it. I think it
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: was gosh, maybe on Monday, and maybe before Brian Kell
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: even got fired, Like when you went to Alabama and
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: coach I was coaching, but he had already been told
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: he was not going to be retained, and you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Deonte Jones put together a game plan that Alabama hadn't
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: seen before. It was like kind of like why the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: hell not type situation, let's let's do something different. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: they were playing cover zero and like the entire game
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and just bringing the house and they're like, why not,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: let's just let's just do it right right, And like
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that's the kind of situation that you find yourself in
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: whenever you have an interim head coach. It's like, look,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: we are going to just do it our way. We're
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: gonna do things a little bit differently. Like maybe it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: a little unsound, but you know what, we're gonna do
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: it full tilt and we're gonna do some things that
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: are a little bit different here.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I like, I like not to preview the game. That's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: not for a while, but I hope that's the mentality
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: like for that game. Certainly, offensively, my God takes some chances.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I was the most high school hairy.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Play scheme last week against A and M that I'd
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: ever seen before.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: It was as an offensive two former offensive people and
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: fan base who likes to see good offense, and just
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: you know, in football, that's the great defense is awesome.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Great defense is beautiful. Great defense is tough and nasty
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and mean and gritty, and you love as a fan
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: base to have a good defense. But let's all be honest.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: The offense is the fun part. Like if you're good
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: on offense, Like how fun was it two years ago?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: And Jaden was great? But the defense was still terrible
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: but it was still really fun. Yeah, really fun to
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: watch that team and be a part of it. So yeah, this,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: this offense this year has not made watching LSU football fun.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: It has not made any game fun. The defense had.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Some sparks where it was like, yeah, we got something
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: to hang our hat on, certainly, and I can't blame
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: it on the player. Sure, there's been issues on the line.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: You know, Garrett hadn't played up to his standard, But
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, goodness, gracious, I don't know if they've really
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: been given a.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Chance up to this point.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, why not taking uh, take a little bit
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: of a risk and change some things up and do
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: some things different. Nothing got nothing to lose at this point, right,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: And I guess you do have something to lose. I'll
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: take that back. Well, not a great statement. What do
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: you mean you can't go out there and look bad. No,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: but but you can't get much worse.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: But you're right about like having nothing to lose, Like
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: right now your main goals probably out of reach.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I mean a million things would have to happen. But
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: so I was talking about fake punt.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: We're gonna get a fake punt? What do you think
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get some sort of trickery.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I hope, like I hope it's all up, Like I
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: hope every bit of it is.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: But I was talking with Jimbo yesterday. My first thing
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: he asked, and he's like, hey, you know you can
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: use all fifty three yards, right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Like I was like, yeah, I do. I don't.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know if everybody knew that, but and that's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: how wide a football field is. In case anybody's wondering, what, Yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you can use all fifty three Yeah you can.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: The problem is I would I would, I would rebut
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Jimbo on that and say the problem is is we're
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: using the the first one in the fifty third one
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: a little bit too much.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: We're using the sideline yards a little too much. Let's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: stick it. Let's stick with it, like the enter twenty.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And there's so many plays that we could show you
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: on here that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Don't even have an option in that portion of the
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: field that we're talking about between the hashes. And again,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and y'all know this, but the hashes are so wide
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: in college football it's it's.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Hard hard to avoid. It's hard to avoid the middle
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: of the field.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I yeah, that was a shocking thing. We've been looking
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: at the passing r the last two weeks, so losses
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: against Vanderbilt, and of course it's about pass loss against
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: A and M. There is one pass in each game
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: that was completed over the middle of the field. So
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: in between the hashes, like clearly in between the hashes
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: that went five yards in the air pass the line
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage, So a lot of there's a lot of checkdowns,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and there's been two passes total, one in each game.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: And that is like it's very hard to do in
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: a drop back passing offense. So that tells you that
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: your schemes are are too outwardly focused. So all of
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: your passing games are towards the sideline. So all your
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: first second reads. I'm dropping back into three boy one
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: and my first reads my number one outside. My second
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: reads is an alert to the second receiver. Then my
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: you know, my third read is a stick route to
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: the to the number three receiver or the tied end,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: and there's nothing attack in the middle of the field.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: And it was just shocking how many times will drop
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: back and see that, and then a lot of other
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of our other downfield passes are you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: basically scripted, drawn up plays, trickery where wide receivers are blocking,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: or it's a screen pass or an RPO or something
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: like that where there's no option to attack the middle
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: of the field. I've just never seen a dropback offense
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: and a capable with capable personnel that doesn't run normal
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: dropbacks with shallow crosses and dig routes and multiple people
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: attacking different windows of the middle of the field. Like
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: you go to any high school and watch a seven
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: on seven tournament. They're throwing seams, they're throwing digs, they're
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: throwing daggers, they're throwing knives, they're throwing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: All sorts of things over the middle.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: It's not just I'm gonna sit here and throw a
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: fifty fifty ball down the sideline. I'm gonna throw what
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: turns into a fifty to fifty comeback to the wide
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: side of the field. Certainly a fifty to fifty hitch
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: route to the wide side of the field. How many
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: times we do that? Only we completed some last week,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: thank god. Easily could have been six the other way. Yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you're throwing. You're throwing a hitch to the white side
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the field with a corner that's sitting on his heels. Anyway,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: can't get upset with a vest on this morning.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Let's see from PF Tiger seven, did you know what
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: we're is not responsible for Jimbo's buy out at A
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: and M. The new athletic director gave him a huge extension.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: That's what did it. It was kind of built on
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: it a little bit. But it's funny you mentioned that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Jimbo said that to me yesterday, literally like so, y'all
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: know he's my co host on Tuesdays on Series x M,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: and he's like, hey, why they keep tagging my buyout
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: was with Scott.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It's like Ross signed that one.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, yeah, I guess you know he did,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: but I guess you know it's built off of I
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: guess the original contract. He's like yeah, yeah, no, no,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: but the by like Ross signed that one, Russ Rourke's
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: now the ad at Ohio State.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Hmm yeah.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I think like that was that was kind of like
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: the easy target, right, He's easy target saying well, you
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: know Scott did Jimbo's, he did Brian's, So I mean
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: that's the question too. So with with this in this
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: kind of vacancy, that's this boy that's being left and
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: you know Frank's filling that right now, and uh, you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: once the coach and search keeps going on and on,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: that's kind of the thing who's going to be making
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: the decision. And I think that was an easy target
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: of saying well, Scott's made two bad ones with that
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: buyout deals, which you know, if you want to if
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: you want to try to get the best, I mean,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: you do have to pay off in the world.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I do think eventually like that all of that
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: will will calm down and you won't see ten year
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: contracts anymore.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: At least you would think so.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: And I know it's so hard after it's already been
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: done for so long, but you just have somebody likes
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the group.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to not going to do it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: But like you look at the model of professional football
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: obviously the NFL, you looked at the CBA, the collective
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: bargaining agreement doesn't have anything to do with the coaches
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: salaries and how that is all structured, I don't think
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: at least. So why like, if at one point in
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: the in college football, if a collective bargaining agreement was
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: ever made for college football, which it probably would have
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: to be at some point, I don't think it would
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: include coaches salaries. I don't think coach is be part
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: of that bargaining agreement, right, it would be separate. Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: so something something would happen. So it have to be
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: a collective of universities just saying, you know, you have
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: to get your Georgia's and your Ohio States and your
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Organs and your l Sues and Texas schools and Florida
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: schools all together and be like we're handshake deal.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: We're not doing that anymore. Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Look, look, Jimmy, we love you. You got this done.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Tip of the cap to you. But and I know, look,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I know you got all the head coaches. I know that,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: but I think we all agree this is not good
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: for the game. Yeah, Now if that gets done, who knows,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: because Jimmy is gonna be like, why would I do that?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I've got everybody or my Jimmy sexon of course, I've
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: got everybody.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Why would I do that? So it's gotta it's gotta boof,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: it's gotta slow.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Down's got to stop these twa your contracts were wild
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: with these buyouts. So all right, we'll step away, We'll
• 17:04

• 17:06

  Speaker 3: Saturday against Texas A and M. And he also could
• 17:26

• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Welcome back in O t B There live from the
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Raising Kane Studio. Do we have the video ready to go? Wilson,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: LSU's interim head coach yesterday.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: When he met with the media.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Spond the next time you have a game to play,
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: which obviously is a big game in a couple of weeks.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: I think they'll respond, Well, I'll share something we did today.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: I was watching quite some time ago when we got
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: bombed in at Pearl Harbor and the sirens went off
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: and that sound effect, and it was an alert, It
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: was a all call. It was a rally call for
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: us to come together. We emulated that today for our
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: football team, and as those sirens went off for the
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: rally call, our team merged together at the fifty yard line.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: We held up all four of our fingers in both hands.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: We chanted ford quarter, we chanted finish because we're all in.
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: We're all in to finish what we've started. And some
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: of that celebration, some of that noise, if you will,
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: was simply our football team answering to the rally call,
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: being there for one another in a tough situation when,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: if you will use an analogy, we've been invaded.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Frank's a little different than you know, what was there before.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: It was a little different, different tone to that press conference.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I think I said, I think that used this term
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: last segment. It's not about Frank when he talks, it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: not about his self, right, Everything he does, everything he
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: does is towards a greater good. Everything he does is
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: for that team. And you have to have like at
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: this moment, you have to have something like that exactly
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: like what he just said, you got to get everybody together,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: because everybody in that building. There's a lot of really,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: really amazing great people in that building. And I'm not
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: talking just about the players. I'm talking about all Let's
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: talk about the people that work there first. There's a
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: lot of great people in that building and they've been
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: there a long time. Some haven't been there longer than others,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: of course, who don't really know like what's next for them.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: You look at everything from of course coaches to coordinators
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: to position coaches, but everybody to equipment staff, training staff,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: medical staff, dietitians, nutritionists, chefs, everybody in that building a chef.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: There is an uncertainty there when a head coach, when
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: the when the the big domino falls, like it's how
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: many other dominoes are going to fall. So most people
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: are and that's part of the job. I'm not saying like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: you know, feel sorry or anything like that. That's part
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: of the job. That's what you sign up for, you
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: when you're a coach, and when you work with a
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: football team, that's what you sign up for. So no
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: one's asking that, but there's still uncertainty that come. There's
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: family there's people, there's humans involved with it, and there's
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of people in that building that don't know
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: where their kids are going to be going to school
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: in January. Right, Yeah, so's it's a real thing. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: then with the players, of course, there's uncertain uncertainty there.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: They still have to go out and perform. They still
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: have to go out and play a collision sport against
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: really good football team, against plenty of really good football teams. Yep,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: they start to put tape on. They have goals, they
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: have aspirations to go to the next level. They have
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: goals and aspirations to maybe continue their career elsewhere.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Whatever the motivation is, but in a situation like this,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: when things like this happen, when it's all negative, negative, negative,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: you're hearing negative from the outside, you're hearing negative from
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: every direction, you really have to focus on the people
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: around you, the guy to your left, the guy to
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: your right, the support staff that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Surrounds that team as well. And you got two choices
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to make.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: You either feel sorry for yourself you decide to kind
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: of quit, give up, don't give the effort because it's
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: easy to do. That's human nature, that would be the
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: normal thing to do. Yeah, the hard thing to do
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: is to rally together. The hard thing to do, the
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: unnatural thing to do. It would be to come together
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: as a team in the face of all this adversity,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: rally behind each other, get each other's back, hold the
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: rope for each other, and choose to fight and fight
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: with everything you have. And that's exactly Frank Wilson's a
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: perfect person right now to get that done. And I'm
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: proud of him. I'm proud of everybody around there, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: I know that they're going to fight. I think they're
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: going to choose that option, even though that's the hard
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: one to do. It's not human nature to take the
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: hard route, but I think that's what they're gonna do.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it can go one of two ways, Like
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: it doesn't always go up, it doesn't always go down.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Like you've got to find what Matt's talking about like
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: inside of you and decide collectively as a team which
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: way you're going to go. All right, Like Penn State
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: right now, you know they lose three games when the
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: real they fire their coach, they lose their next game out,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: but you know they gave some good effort. But they
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: lose against Iowa UCLA, they fire their coach, they turned
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: into a completely different squad. Like I know, they just
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: got beat by Indiana by fifty, but I mean, look,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: they want some games they shouldn't have won. They're getting
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: dominated by New Mexico, and then they beat Penn State,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: they beat Maryland. Right, They've got much better product out
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: there than they had before. And look, we can go
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: down the list of how that's gone for some and
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: how it's gone for others. So I fully expected to go.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I expect there to be a different energy. I expect
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: there to be a different execution, certainly on the offensive
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: side of the football. But before we take a break,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: because when Frank was talking right there, it reminded me
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: of a video and it was a tough time for
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: LSU football. In fact, the last time that we were
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: kind of in a situation like this, and you know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: it wasn't great and you were in Houston, Texas getting
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: ready for a ball game and you were playing against
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Kansas State. He wasn't gonna fel sorry for you. They shouldn't,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: but we all know the situation, right. You had limited numbers,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: to say the least, and you were trying to hold
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: on to Gary nes Meyer's red shirt, which makes sense.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Right in the bowl game, and you had John Drey,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Kirkland Chew Breese out there playing quarterbow. And I'll never
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: forget his postgame press conference because it embodied everything that
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: you should be when you're a player, a coach, anybody
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: involved in the LSU football program, because it's the mentality
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: that is the state of Louisiana. It's the mentality that
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: everybody that I played with, that Matt played with, whoever
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: like during that time had.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: For the LSU football program.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: And this was the quote that John Trey had after
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: even losing that game against Kansas State.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Shoot, we fighting tigers, man.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: We ain't about to back down from nobody, no matter
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: if we don't have if we did, if we.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Got eleven, we go and play.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: That's our mindset.
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: If we got eleven, we go and play.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: And they barely had eleven, but they went and played,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and they fought and they lost. They fought to the
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: last player of the game.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: John Trey threw a touchdown pass and the last player
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: of the game, and all it did was cut the
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: lead to like what twenty one something like that.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: But they celebrated it. They didn't quit.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: They kept fighting until the clock kid triple zero, Yep,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: until the very last second.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I got a smile on my face right out, because
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: like if you're if you're watching on on YouTube, watching
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: the stream, like just seeing his face, say that makes
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: you smile. Man, what a good attitude. And I think
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: that's what the attitude that that LSU's gonna bring. He
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: guess what, they got more than eleven and they got
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: more than eleven really good ones.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: So you're lying to yourself if you think that there's
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: no chance they got an opportunity. There's crazier things have happened.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: I know it hadn't been what we wanted up to
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: this point, but look, why not why not go the
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: rest of the season undefeated? Why not beat Alabama in Alabama?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Tell me, tell me a reason why we can't. I
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: know they're good. I know we haven't been good, especially
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: on offense. Well it's a new offensive coach. Yeah, the
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: guy called the plays is not there, got called the
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: shots in there. Yeah, so we'll see, we will see.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: It is up to them, but we're gonna be cheering
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: our tails off. It's before eight, So I said tail
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: but done.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: They I said, hell earlier, I'm definitely gonna get in
• 29:16

• 32:28
  Speaker 4: get some more vitamins in you. Like we you know,
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: we kind of joke around about the weather changing, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: it's serious, Like it's it's time where you start getting
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: a little sniffle the nose, a little low grade fever,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: you start getting sick to the change of weather. It's
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: a perfect time to go get a membership set up
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: or go get an account set up. You can be
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: in and out thirty forty five minutes. Bran new account,

• 32:50
  Speaker 4: EDAM and D all that good stuff.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Stay healthy, stay hydrated, go flow IVY.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: All right, So a lot of the talk over the
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: next couple of weeks is going to be about who
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: the next head coach is for the LSU Tigers.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Now, what's that timeline look like?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: We don't know If it's a current coach, chances are
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: is probably still fighting for a playoff spot. And is
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: that coach going to be interested in having those conversations
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: during his team's run his current team's run. When are
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: you going to be able to name said head coach
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: if it's a coach in a college football playoff? Right,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: and you've got to transfer a portal window.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: But it provides an issue that's a big issue.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's the problem with your people that are champion
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: for Lank Kiffin and Dan Lenny, who I think both
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: of them would be great options.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I do, But there is the procedure of that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Isn't clear, Like you have to wait a long time,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: and I don't think Lane Kiffin has been known to
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: leave someone at the altar.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So you could wait all that time and
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden he decides.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: At the last minute he's pretty comp which he should
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: be comfortable where he's at. Yeah, I mean, I can't
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: put myself in that man choose Why would you leave?
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: You got all the negotiating.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Power right now to stay there.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's one of those situations where it's
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: a it's a dangerous road to take that risk unless
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: you got some deep assurances, which I'm sure the people
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: that will be making that decision.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Will know then have. Even then, yeah, you still don't know.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Still not in absolute still not a guarantee. So like
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: that's that's another part of it. It's another layer to
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: what we're talking about. You go after one of these
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: playoff coaches, which I get because that's where you want
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: to go. The timing of it's tough. I mean, signing day,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: high school signing day is going to pass you up.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, so if you're wanting one of those guys,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: you better hope they lose three games here pretty soon.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: If you all want them, cheer against them right now.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Then you'd be like, well, he's a terrible coach, lost
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: three games.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I'm like, and I feel like you want to say
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: something here.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure where. I'm not sure what you do.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure where you go. I'm not sure you
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: know all of that? How much of that goes into it?
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Like you're just gonna have to take a hit maybe
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: in a portal window.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: It depends on one.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: You know, if they want the coach before early signing
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: day December third, So if you want to coach, you
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: got three weeks to name one pretty much if you
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: want it before early signing period.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: If not, is that like a guy? That's of course.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: I don't follow recruiting. I think recruiting, you know, chasing
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: and following and knowing what high school kids and fifteen
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: sixteen seventy year olds are doing with their life is
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: like a strange thing. But I haven't done radio before
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: during recruiting times, so I gotta follow it. Is that
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: is December third a normal?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Like? Yeah?
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: For whatever reason, if you got into my head, if
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: you made me like guess, I would have said, it's
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: like just before Christmas.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Now they started doing it like December third, like early December.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: So it's the third to the it's Wednesday till Friday.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: It's high school.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, if you don't sign, then you wait till
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: the original like February, sound of day. But honestly, Matt,
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: eighty percent of your class now signs.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, oh yeah.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: And then the new transfer portal window, if I'm not mistaken,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: is fifteen days after New Year's right, January second through
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the sixteenth. That's the new only time portal window. So
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit later than the December one.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: The third one feels really early for me, for especially
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: for teams that are having to hire a new coach. Yes,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: I mean I would say that coaches aren't usually hired
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: by that point.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I guess on the heels of right, on the heels
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: of the season being over.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Usually coaches, like organizations and teams that have to hire
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: somebody else, is not hired by December third, right.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: And and that's the thing, like does LSU love one
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: candidate enough that's in the playoff that you are going
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: to wait or do they not?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: There's there they aren't not publicly, but like privately, there's
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: got to be a company.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some contracts got to be basically signed. Look,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: there's some positions that need to know. They gotta know
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: there's something that I don't think it matters as much,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: but there's some positions that need to know, like who
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: their coach is going to be. Now, they always tell
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: you recruiting, don't commit or sign with a coach, sign
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: with the school, and that makes sense for most people.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: But you know, if you're playing a certain position, if
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: you're if you're a Haines King style quarterback and the
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: guy that comes in as an air raid guy, that
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: doesn't make sense for the Texas Hainsaw massacre.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I love that guy. I love that I love that
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: big Yeah. So if you if you decide to wait
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: and you decide to go after a big.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Fish that's going to go to the playoffs, like you
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: have to do something for recruits, say you know, and
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: we know not everybody on that staff is going to
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: be there right now. I'm running that bill going to
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: be there. And we hope that there's some defensive code.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: We hope that there's some people that are retained because
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: we like them and we think they're good coaches. But
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: that's the prerogative of the new head coach. But with
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Frank Wilson, becoming the interim right now and what he
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: means and he's going to.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Be, don't get it twisted. Like.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: He's been a great recruiter for a long time. He's
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: been the reason that a lot of men and a
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: lot of young men have decided to wear.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Purple and gold like. He's been a really big catalyst
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: in that. And he's going to be.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: The biggest reason why people decide to stick here with
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: LSU right to stay here and stay here and play,
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: and or to sign here from other colleges sign here
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: out of high school.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: He's going to be the big reason.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: So if you decide to wait, you better have a
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: from the top, the people, the decision makers that are
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: going to be making this decision, you better say, well,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: you can count fight. Frank's the reason why we're still recruiting.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: We don't have a head coach yet, we don't know
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: what the few is going to be. But Frank's not
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: going anywhere. Yeah, Frank's going to be here in some
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: form or fashion. So like this guy that is convincing
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: you to stay, convincing you to go, he's not going anywhere.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: No matter who the head coach is. We're making sure
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: that he keeps.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Him so because, like we were talking about in the
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: past two segments, he's a perfect guy right now to
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: get it to set the standard again, to set that Louisiana,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: that culture, that LSU the three letters on your chest,
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: on your helmet, and that is going to be the
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: reason why we can hopefully hold the rope right here.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Stay afloat with these recruits, stay afloat with the current players,
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: make sure there's not that mass exodus, and he's going
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: to be the reason why.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Real quick, before we take a break, mister Big is
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: pointing out that Brian Kelly got hired on November the thirtieth,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: and when Coacho got hired it was late November as well.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: But I will say the difference is that was a
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: four team playoff. This is a twelve team playoff. More
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: teams are going to be in the twelve team playoff.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Hunt then they were going to be in the four
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: team playoff and the fourteen playoff. You kind of knew
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: although Notre Dame still had an outside shot, it was
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: going to take a couple of things. And so that's
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: why you see a November signing like where some of
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the other candidates that you were talking to whoever the
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: link iffn Clark, Lee, Dan Lanning, Jeff bro whoever brinky.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: They could be in the twelve team playoff and.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: We would think that LSU is gonna go big game
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: hunting here right, Like it's maybe they're picking a coach
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: that their season.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Just like, don't hear that anythink name no by actual
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: like what they've done recently in this New Land.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Even if it's a smaller school.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're still conference championships or whatever it is. A
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: coach oe was here already Notre Dame. I don't evenmember
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: what they were doing that year.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: I mean they were on the outside looking into a
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: fourteen playoff. But again, it's going to take some things
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: to happen in front of them, and thinking about like
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: six maybe that year so.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: That they could it'd be great. I mean, if they
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: can get it figured out to where that happens, awesome.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: I just think the likelihood of that happening is pretty low.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Just I was just a little shocked here that December
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: third is the first signing period that it wasn't like
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: mid December.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we'll take another break wrap up out

• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Give me one name that you do not want as
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: the LSU head football coach, Beth Liam James Franklin. Yes,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: I was actually gonna kind of make a joke about
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: it and say, Dennis Allen, but that's a great answer in.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: This Allen him either James Franklin, Alandra Lane Kiffin, all right, Taytay.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: Love the guy whose name gets brought up a lot, unfortunately,
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Kelvin Sheppard.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's ready to be a head coach
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: in college. He'd be awesome, he'd bring in though he would.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: I just that's just a risky war daddy.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: He cranked the diesel if you think about it, though,
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know what risky means or what risky is.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: People around you that are good, I would say Joe Brady,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: and I love Joe. I think Joe's exactly where Joe
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: needs to be, though m h, I think he enjoys
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: that more. Ye, I think he's.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: An NFL coach, And there's a difference. There's a difference
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: not to say that I don't think he would do well.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I just I don't think right now, for him or
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: for LSU, that would be the best move.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: And we were having an interesting discussion at the break
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: here said lude Temper and loud Temper. In so long,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: we'd have an interesting discussion here at the break about
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffen and about you know, there's some question marks
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: there for us if I he's probably the guy trusts
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: the least about like waiting and waiting and waiting till
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: the to the ninth hour to him to make a
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: decision because he's like proven that he can pull this
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: rug out from underneath you. And then just like he
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: is a great coach, he's created a great culture there
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: and he's a great play caller.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: But he does make decisions every now and then that like.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Get you like with your head tilted a little bit
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: always by this past game he went forward on his
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: own twenty five on fourth down, missed.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: It was a great decision.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Taylor brought up that he took out a starting quarterback
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: in the red zone near the goal line twice during
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Didn't work out here, y'all.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: But you're also forgetting one key factor. They won the game, true,
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: but they lose. They lost the LSU last year. They
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: shouldn't know. They lose one to two games every year
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: that they are not supposed to.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Haven't this year.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Off the bench
