  Speaker 1: Okay, so what's your hot boy, right? So we're FSU.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We're back on the market for a new head coach.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Give me, I know it's on the spot right now,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: but give me some names that you've been thinking about
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that could be good fits for FSU.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I love in terms of current coaches, right?
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Because for us to go get a head coach from
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: a prominent university, I don't know if we're capable financially
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: to do that.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And if we're going to go get a coordinator, right?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Go get a coordinator that is used to being in
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: high atmosphere positions, like environments, right, where it's championship or bust.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I love Glenn Schumann. I love Glenn Schumann from UGA.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: And the reason why I love Glenn Schumann from UGA,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I know Kirby personally, and I know how he coaches
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the game of football. Kirby Smart is one of those
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: rare coaches currently– I think he's the only coach currently
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: in college football that has had coaching relationships with a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Bobby Bowden, with a Mickey Andrews and a Nick Saban.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Right. And I had.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Opportunity to talk to Kirby personally during SEC media day.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And I asked him, what did he learn from all
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: three of those individuals? And the layout of what he
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: learned was masterful. And also it makes sense in why
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: he's doing what he's doing. So one would think everything
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: that he has dispersed to his team, to his coaching staff,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Glenn has soaked all of that up.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And they're very, very feisty physical defensive unit.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And remember, the last defensive minded guy who left Kirby
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: went on to do really, really good things, even though
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: they've had some disappointing outings this season. But when you
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: look at what Dan Lennon is doing in Oregon, right,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and what he has done in Oregon. So Glenn Schumann
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: would be my– and if I'm not mistaken, I think
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: he had some family ties tied to Tallahassee, if I'm
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: not mistaken.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Glenn, I think he graduated high school. He played at
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Valdosta State. He's from the Valdosta area.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he had some kind of family ties tied.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: But that would be my first name in terms of
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: getting someone from a major university. And Georgia is Georgia, right?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You can say whatever you want to say. You can
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: say– It's a new player here. It's a new player there.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: They're consistent. And that defense has been high level, right?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And the next name I'll throw out is a name
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that has been circulating around Florida State for quite some time.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It's Jimbo Fisher. And the reason why I say Jimbo
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Fisher is this.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Financially, because of what transpired today, where will we be
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: in terms of having that financial cap to put together
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: a hell of a staff, right? And if you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Jimbo's still getting paid from A & M. So it's
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: not like Jimbo coming in and say, I need to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: get $ 8 million. I'm just throwing out as an opinion.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know for sure, but I would imagine knowing
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: that he wants to get back into coaching and he
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: would love to be able to coach Florida State again.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's not like he's going to say, hey man, give
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: me six, $ 7 million.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jimbo might take the deal for four or five
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: a year, you know, throw some incentives in there, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: devote the rest of that cap to making this staff prolific, right?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: As long as he displays a great plan for what
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: this staff is going to look like, offensively and defensively.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Guys that come in and they have command of everything
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and they have a resume of showing they can handle
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: that said command. Because one thing we know about Jimbo Fisher,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I understand how it ended. And there's two sides to
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: every story, right? There's two sides to every story. But
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: one thing you cannot overlook, especially when he was in
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: his bag, he dominated when it came to recruiting. He
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: dominated when it came to our state business. Miami and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Florida State, he dominated. And he put together one of
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the best teams we have ever seen at Florida State.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And he understands another thing that I love about Jimbo
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: because of his bow and ties.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It's personal for him.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: When he coached Florida State, when he goes against Miami,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: you can see him now at the ACC Network. The
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: love is still there for him. It's a personal relationship
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: for him. And it might make the most financial sense. But,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: there's a key but, we gotta see the plan. Like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: when you have these discussions for the powers that be, bro,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: what is your game plan?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: OCs, what options?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Because think about it like this, CJ, if, and I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: throwing out a hypothetical, I don't know the numbers, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: let's say if we're paying our head coach four or
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: five million with incentives based on winning, now you can
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: go out and go get and pay an OC 3 million,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a DC 3 million, right? Now you can go get
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the coaches those guys need to have where you know
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: when they come in, instantly the spark is there in
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the recruiting trails, in the portal, because they're a known commodity.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Now we ain't got a penny pitch when we got
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to pay a coordinator 1-2 or 1-5. And then some
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: of the other money that you're not, because, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: look at the coaching right now. Most head coaches are
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: getting north of 10 million a year. So for Florida State,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that would be a win. And make it a short-term deal.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Allow him to show and earn his stripes. But then also, too,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: some of the other access money that you're not giving
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to your head coach, now you maybe can dump off
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: in the collector.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So we can get a chance to play big money business.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Do some big money things.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So those, just off the top of my head, those
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: are the two names. And I know fans are like, well,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: we don't want to go. Well, you got to understand something, fans.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You got to be able to accept what you can afford.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Financially or what makes the most financial sense? I don't
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: want to do this what we just did with Mike
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Novell I don't want to go to no group of
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: five and go get one of these head coaches They've
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: been doing great at one of these group of.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Five schools cuz now that ain't that no one is
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: different It's different no, it's not the.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Same the pressure is different the expectations are different No,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: go get me someone who's used to who is accustomed
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: to the pressure to those expectations and for fans that say, well, what.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Happened at A & M? It didn't work out at
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: A & M. Well, it ain't working out well for
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Mike Elko either right now.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It didn't work out for Mike Sumner prior to him either.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So everything is not going to be peaches and cream instantly.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: But one thing we do know, look at the coaches
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that have won national championships. There is the same. If
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you go back the last 20 years, some of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: same names are surfacing.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: It ain't like it's a plethora of different names or
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: different options. You know what I mean?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So that's my take right now, and, you know, we
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: got time to figure it out, and let's see what happens.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You make it like, and to your point, as far
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: as dumping money on coaches, Schumann is making two mil
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: at Georgia. So if you can throw three mil to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a coach, you should be able to get, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: elite product. Last question before I get you up out
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of here. How quick do you think the turnaround could
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: be if we get the right coaching? We're still Florida State, right?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And with today's game with the transfer portal, it could
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: be just like that. So, here's a quick opinion. How
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: quickly do you think Noah's could get back on track?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I think it can happen quickly. But it starts, the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: most key thing we have to hit on is a quarterback.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It's a quarterback. And that's another thing that kind of
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: made me, bothered me with Mike Norvell. Oh, yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You knew there was a lot at stake for you,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and you go pick Ashton Dames.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: No disrespect to Ashton Dames, but.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I felt like there were better options based on what
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: these kids have done. You need to get you a
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: known prospect that can deliver right now instead of seeing
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: flashes of here or there. Because he wasn't really good
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: at Stanford, and on a four-win team last year at Auburn,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Most said he wasn't even the best quarterback.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He was a true freshman.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: You know, so if we, regardless of who the new
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: head coach is in this staff, the one thing we
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: got to hit on is quarterback. College football is very,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: very simple.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you this much. If you've got
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: a good quarterback and a good coach, you're going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: win ball games. You're going to be really, really good.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You're going to be competitive.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: If you've got a great quarterback and a good coach,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you're going to compete for championships, right? If you got
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: a great coach and a good quarterback, you're going to
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: compete for championships.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It ain't that hard. It ain't that hard.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: You look at the teams right now, CJ, that are
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: in that championship conversation, they got one or the other.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: It ain't that hard.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And then before Ashton, Jimbo, you went out, I mean,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, not Jimbo, Novell, you went out and got
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Tommy Castellanos. No knock on Tommy, but I feel like this, CJ.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I don't want anything that Boston College don't want.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just being real, right? That's an ACC team. Yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: we flow the state.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: If Boston College didn't want him or any other position,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: any other position, why do we?
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: At this point, you are who you are. So that's it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So we hit on a quarterback and we get together
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: a staff that can go ahead and go out and recruit.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and sell water to a well, we're gonna be good.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be good. You know what changed for Miami?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: When Cam Ward didn't go to Florida State and he
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: went to Miami?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The rest is history. Everything changed from there.
