• 3:47
  Speaker 4: we're building our defense around will Compton. I don't care
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: if we signed one guy. So I'm like, yeah, this
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: is easy. It's a layup man and he's already been
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: committed forever. So I go see him, go to his house,

• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Logan and a young lady named Anna, and they take
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: me around, take me around school. We had a freaking blast.

  Speaker 4: Get you in any trouble. I say whatever you want
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: statue of limitations. All righty, probably up. But he had
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: built a sparkler bomb and and he's like, what listen

  Speaker 4: Goes off right, and show coach no, well and then
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: like car alarms are going off.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: He measured it measured bigger than a stick of dynamite.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: The explosion cops came to the house. How did you
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: know it measured bigger than a stick of dynamite Because
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: they're they're a meter or some radar thing went off
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: to where if an explosion happens, it goes like beyond
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: like a stick of dynamite. That's why they get the
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: call and go wherever the location is. Really, yeah, it
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: was nuts. We were so high. But obviously when the
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: cops came, you're like, oh shit. But we had this
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: sparkler bomb that we wrapped with electrical tape, cut off
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: all the bottoms of the sparklers, and I'm talking spent
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: hours wrapping it with electrical tape. Then you leave one
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: sparkler out air tight, air tight, that one sparkle that
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: sticks out, you light it, it sat it gave a
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: delay like you didn't know if it was going to happen.

  Speaker 5: when he left, but there's a lot of awesome memories.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: He talks about building the defense until Lavonte David showed up.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Mind you broke my foot came back in eight weeks.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I was the starter, no job to be had when
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: I came back. Really, yeah, no one talked to me.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: No one said, hey, this is Levante's show. Now you
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: kind of knew what the deal was. After Game one,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Levonte David had like thirteen tackles, was.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Actually had twenty he was killing dudes. He had twenty
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: seven against us and was an eleven or twelve. Yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: remember a mission there when we went to the Big
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: ten though, you know, no, I wasn't.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I watched that game.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Levante had like twenty seven tackles, twenty seven, but
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Leavonte had like twenty tackles blocking.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Listen, I probably tried it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Sounds like he's like savage bro and he had so
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: many busts that game. But you just knew, like, oh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: this dude is fucking legit. But I came back there
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: was no job to be had.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: It was Levonte's gig after that. But that yeah, yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: that was never talked ever. E never sat me down
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: and told me it was tough. But that's part of
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: the gig, right, Like that's how you can get but.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: You still play. What do you mean there's no job.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: He just took your jobs job.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: We we played dime most of the time because the
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: spread offense in the Big Yeah.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we're in dime most of the time.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So we're running one line.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: And Bo never trusted a I can linebacker to cover
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: tight ends and ship like that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Just never did for whatever reason, and.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: So Leavante's would be the lone backer of me and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Fish and we'd all be just chilling on the sideline. Actually,
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: he always has the I mean you see, he has
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the most positive energy.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Of all time.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: You do, you have fire energy. There's gonna be there's
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: another story I was thinking of, Hey, I'll tell you
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: another another cool story. So I leave right and I
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: go to Indiana and.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I call Will up. We're getting ready to play.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I think it was Michigan State, and yeah it was.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I put him on speakerphone and he's in the defensive staff.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I'm in the defensive staff and I and long story short,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: his freaking breakdown he did as a player was more
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: extensive than the breakdown I did as a defensive coordinator.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I mean he was rattling off all this stuff and
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I'm sitting out the notes and I'm like, the son
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: of a gun, I missed that, man, And I mean
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: it was it was pretty darn impressive.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: How do you think will it be as a coach?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Oh? He'd kill it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, future head coach.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, big time. Man.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that you.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: I do. I would enjoy coaching for sure. It's just
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: just seems like a lot of fucking work. I mean,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: you've been at several places. Of all the places you've
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: been to, and we can leave Tennessee out of it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: If you're just gonna give the blanket answer like, oh,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: I love Tennessee. Obviously you're wearing orange right now. But
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: you've been the USC, Georgia, Nebraska, Indiana, LSU, where else.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Some hitters, Oklahoma, North Carolina.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: What's like, what which of those schools you think had
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: the best like college experience?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Wow, I mean that's that's a tough one. I mean
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: they're all unique in their own way. I mean, I'm
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: sure you had an unbelievable time Michigan, great time. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: know you had a great time in Nebraska. I think
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: I think just where you're at at that time with
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: those people, I mean, all of them are cool.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I mean college football.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna need I'm gonna need. I just don't.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you really want the legit answer, I've
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: never seen anything like this place.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tennessee's out of it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Tennessee's Tennessee is Tennessee is an awesome fucking.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: We've loved it here. But you've been in so many spots,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: like I'm just curious, like.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I will say this, Nebraska was probably the most unique,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Like legitimately, everybody in that whole state knew everything about
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: you and your family.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about as a linebacker coach.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was like it was like you're rock
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: star and you got you got that kind of treatment
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: wherever you went.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: So that was that was pretty unique.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: When that stuff happens and everybody in the whole state
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: knows everything about you. Do you think it is that
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: making your job a little bit harder because you know
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: everyone's watching everything you do, and if you don't have
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the success that you guys want to have, does that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: make kind of make it everything feel a little heavier now?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: It kind of goes back to a question that your
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: dad asked me way back when when I was recruiting you.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: He said, you know, you guys must be under a
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: lot of pressure, you know, to restore you know, at
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: that time, Nebraska football and this and that. And I said,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: you know what I said, you don't know how much
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: pressure were under that much?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: And here's why, said, because there's no pressure that any fan,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: any media, anybody could ever put on you as a
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: coach more than what you put on yourself.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I don't even listen to that.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I don't read any of it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think about it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: You know, as a coach, you expect to win every
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: single game, and if you don't, you know, it crushes you.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: You don't remember the ones you win, you the ones
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: that you lose. It's like the fear of losing. Man,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: that's what drives you. The fear of not being prepared.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: And that's just kind of how I'm wired.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Literally what we're witnessing with, Like this is him at
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: all times. He's a glass at full always. A story
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: that always jumps out of me. Was the time that
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: I had a shoulder surgery. Oh yeah, I puked all
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: over his house from having shoulders?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Remember that story? Yeah yeah, I had a lab room surgery.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: And you're not like, again, I'm not trying to say
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: all the stories if you've been bending rules or anything
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: like that, but like you know, your family, nobody's there
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: to like help you out on the first night, right, well,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: like we're in dorm rooms and uh X, like, oh,
• 18:00

• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I'll make sure you get all the right stuff and
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: stuff like that, so I'm like sleeping. At first, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: started in JJ's bed and it was so uncomfortable, like
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: trying to lay on my back from shoulder surgery, that
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: I go down to a chair downstairs. They set me
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: up downstairs, like all right, are you good and all
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: this stuff, and I had, you know, I was drugged
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: up and everything.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I'm good right now. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: that nerve block. That nerve block had worn off yet.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: And I had pasta that night.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: I could hooked me up with like pasta and stuff
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: at the at the cafeteria and everybody goes to bed
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: and I'm sitting there and the nerve block wears off.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I'm upstairs.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: All I hear is hack and then I hear him
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: all over.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: We had to wake him up. Oh yeah, over the
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: wall he can pointed down. I tried getting to uh.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I tried getting to the bathroom.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: I tried rushing the bathroom because I felt it coming up,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: and I got like half on the rug and half
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: on the half on the hardwood, and then some on
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the wall. And I just sat there and I tried
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: cleaning it up by myself before I had to ask
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: for help because I'm like Holy shit, this is embarrassing.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my coach's house, Like I don't know his family really,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: like they're super nice, but I don't know anybody. So
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I'm like trying to get paper towels and I'm trying
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: to like bend down, and I am in so much
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: pain from this nerve block work.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Now do you still from the food or from how
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: much pain you're in.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I've probably a combination of all of it, Like the drugs,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: the nerve block wears off, you're having food, all that stuff,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: and uh, I go and like look in the mirror
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: and I just have puke all over myself and I
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: just stare at myself.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Like God, you piece of shit, dude. You got to
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: figure this out.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: And I couldn't figure it out. Yeah, to where there's
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: like tears of my eyes. I'm in so much pain.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: So I go up and that's where he's like, I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: like eck, and he doesn't. He's sleeping and his wife's like,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: will honey, do you need something? I was like, oh,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I go, yeah, can you get coach egg? And that
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: comes He's like, well, what's wrong?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Am?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I go?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm so sorry?
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: I just I puked everywhere downstairs, he's Oh, man, I
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: don't envy where you're at. He comes down, cleans it
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: all up. But that's just like that's like a story
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: of coach coach eck and eyes like relationship like he's
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: always an amazing relationship.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, is your relationship like this with all players
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: or a select field?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be a select few. Really, I mean,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: you know there's some first guy ever recruited.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, and just going back to like those stories
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: and family, I mean, I absolutely love his family. I mean,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: just there, we go back a long way. We broke
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of huddles together.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: We did.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: How do you feel like you've changed from that first
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: year at Nebraska and developed as a coach, Like over
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: the years, because you've been at a lot of different stops,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: You've had linebacker rooms, you've been a coordinator special teams. Now,
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: how do you feel like you've developed as far as
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: like owning your own rooms.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: When you first start out, you just don't have a
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: lot of experience to draw from, and like, as a coach,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: you know, you don't know what you don't know obviously,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: And so if I could go back now and coach
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: you for twenty years of experience that I have, I mean,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: and be totally different. So I think you just gain
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: a lot more confidence, a lot more knowledge, and you
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: really study the game. Because let's be honest, in football
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: right now, in particular in college football, I'll just say it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of quote unquote recruiters out
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: there who can't coach freaking dead in the Western Man.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And that's just the truth. And that's true.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: That's pretty funny, but that's true, you know. And and
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: the thing about it is, I've come up with this
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: in twenty years of coaching. I tell our guys, like
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: when I first got here, I told them this, I said, wells,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: it's my job to earn your respect.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: And so let me be clear about that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, what I mean now is if I can't teach
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: you and develop you into the best player you can be,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I'm worthless to you. You don't need some nine year
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: old friend, you need a mentor, you need a coach.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Somebody's going to help develop you, right. So the next thing,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: it's my job to earn your trust. And when I
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: say earn your trust, now, that happens over time, happens
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter when you're playing and you know
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: they shit, it's a fan and Mike going point a finger,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: mikeing point of thumb.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Are we in this together? Or we in it together?
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: And then the.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Third thing once you got those two, which take time,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: once you got and then the third thing is once
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: you figure out they actually care about you, I actually
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: love you. Now we got something. But that's kind of like,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: really what's going on here at Tennessee? Like our players,
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: we came in here and that's what we had to do.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Those those things, we had to earn their respect, We
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: had to earn their trust.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: And now it's freaking gravy. It's it's time right now
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: with those kids.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Our players know that we absolutely love them, and they
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: trust us and they know we can develop them. And
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: so now now you're going to see some great things
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: continue to happen here.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: When is uh Tennessee coming back to prominence?
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: When Yeah, what's today's date?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Hey Jack? Did you Jack? Look at Jack claughing? Shall we?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: We shall? But hold on, I want to hit that
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: real quick. Okay, Okay, I got to tell you. I
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: got to tell you one.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I got to tell you one funny story though, all right.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: About so so a yeah, so so I'm I'm coaching
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: and coaching at North Carolina had a linebacker that reminded
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: me of a lot of Will the Thrill, all right,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: and so so anyhow, Cole hol comes his name.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: So it's two weeks before the draft, and were you were.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: You were playing for the Titans at the time, right,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: And because you were not with Washington anymore. So I
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: get a call from Rob Ryan and phone. You know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: the number doesn't isn't in my phone just pops up.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: He goes, Hey this Rob Ryan, And I said, coach,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: how you doing?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Doing great?
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: He just wanted to ask you about one of your
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: former linebackers, Cole Holcome blah blah blah. And I said, coach, listen,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know you, but I kind of feel like
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: I do a little bit. You like to go out
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: and have a couple of drinks, right, You like to
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: maybe go out and have a couple of smokes.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the draft him.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: You'll get a genius because when you go into your
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: meeting room, you can tell him exactly what you want,
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: and you can go out to practice and smoke two
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: packs a day. Man, he will be the second smartest
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: player in the NFL behind Will Compton.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: True story, Dan.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: He coachecks my hype man if a speech.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: It's truth.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: It's too I know, I know, but he's been throwing
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: a lot off this moment.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: It's an observation. I appreciate that coach special. I'm enjoying
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: not even being a part of the spot. I'm liking
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: just kind of in this little triangle of love right now.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like we just want to hug or
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: something like it's I kind of want that you.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: We have our Duke Cannon question Canon, Duke Cannon not

  Speaker 5: as the other coaches, like I need a recruiting story,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: not a Will Compton one.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: We've done enough. Will Compton stories.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: What is a recruiting story out there that's been like unique,
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Some that you tell all the time, some you tell often.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Because I was there, recruiting stories of me are.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: The best, and I got a ton of funny recruiting stories.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: One I was coaching out at Southern cal and we
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: have this big camp coming all right, and.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: We got all these guys from all over the country.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: We have Leonard Fournet, is that atte Leonard Fournette and
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Delvin Cook.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: They were there.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Then we have this skinny linebacker from San Diego who's
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: just locking.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Everybody down, and he had no offers, right, And so
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: I tell coach oh, and tell Lane, like, look, it's
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: that I love this kid man.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: He's got great balance, great body control.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: He freaking locking down these guys, and and it said,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: I think we should offer him. They're like, well, who's
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: offering it's nobody, and you know, and then I get
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: from the coach.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's not the USC winback.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Who looks like, understand me.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, that's fine, but I think he's pretty
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: damn good. So we end up offering this guy, right,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: and we're the first offer him, and he ends up
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: having another only one other offer, I believe at the
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: end of it all.
• 26:28

  Speaker 4: When I was coaching Nebraska, when I was recruiting down
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: at Compton out in LA and I go into school,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: go see this young man and go out after school
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: school that just just broke. I'm in a Mustang convertible
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: cop down, top down and get right outside school. Freaking
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: gang fight breaks out right in front of me. Police
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: cars surrounded me. I was pretty wild. That was Hayes Polard.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: I was recruiting too. God, were you just scared shitless?
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: No?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I put my top up. Though.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Is it always intimidating going into like those rough areas?
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if i'd say intimidating.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, nobody ever really messages with the coach. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: went into it at school when I was in Nebraska
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: and I was down in Houston, right across Houston.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I go into the school right end, I'm
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: going in to see the quarterback.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: And I'm walking in and right as I'm walking in,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: the police cars are all around, and they're they're coming
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: out with this guy and I stretcher and rolling him out.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: He'd just been shot. And so you know, they let
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: me still go in and see this kid. And so
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I called Bo on the way back, and he said, well,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: how did it go? And I said, well, good news,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: bad news, man, I said, bad news is I went.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: I went into school and they were wheeling somebody out
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: just shot. Said good news, wasn't a quarterback?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: That's outstanding.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting here thinking like, if you're rolling up in
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: a rough area, you gotta be careful. Like if you're
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: if you're a coach in Nebraska, you probably gotta be
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: careful wearing red.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh for real, you know what I mean?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just walk We had Nebraska on there or something
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Though.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: You gotta get with the black. If you're an Nebraska coach,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: then you're.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Rolling up in an area that might identify with color
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: T shirts.
• 29:27
