  on the Zone one five nine dot com. Landry Football dot com is the
• 0:07
  website Landry Football on X Chris. Happy super Bowl week, sir, How
• 0:10
  are you? I'm doing good? How are you? Oh, we're doing
• 0:13
  good, doing good, chalking through all the notes in the news, and
• 0:16
  of course we will get to the big game on Sunday. Before we do
• 0:20
  that, I'm going to start with the college and then go through the Senior
• 0:22
  Bowl. I want to ask you about what's going on off the field Friday.
• 0:26
  Were you surprised to see the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Tony Petete
• 0:31
  Tony Petti, the astute commissioner of the Big Ten, Greg sank you of
• 0:34
  the SEC join forces here to create an advisory committee to take on the NCAA.
• 0:41
  Your thoughts were you surprised and your thoughts on where this is headed?
• 0:45
  Well, it wasn't expecting any sort of an announcement of that, but you
• 0:53
  know, so I can't really tell. Yeah, I was expecting that coming,
• 0:56
  but it doesn't surprise me. It does not. In the reason is
• 1:03
  it's kind of the state of where things are it's pretty bad administratively on how
• 1:10
  things are being handled. And I've actually did a podcast on it last week
• 1:14
  that at Landry Football because of just the calendar and how it is creating,
• 1:21
  a lot of the coaches are just sick of it. I mean just they
• 1:25
  just and the commissioners are getting feedback on it. Now. The for people
• 1:32
  don't know. I'm sure you've mentioned it, but Tony Pettiti has a really
• 1:37
  good relationship with Greg Sanki. The first thing he did when he got the
• 1:41
  job at the Big Ten is he visited Greg. They they go back.
• 1:46
  I mean, I'm not they not work together as far as I know,
• 1:49
  but they have a good relationship and there's there's there's there's connections there. So
• 1:55
  he first thing he did is he went and visited Greg, and I think
• 2:00
  I think there was there's been an unofficial alliance, if you will, and
• 2:05
  let's let's call it what it is. They know that they basically kind of
• 2:08
  run college football. They have the most power, and I think that they
• 2:14
  understand that we've got to fix some things because it is it is. I
• 2:17
  can't tell you I've said this. I've said this a couple of years ago.
• 2:22
  I don't know if we've ever talked about it, but in a lot
• 2:24
  of my consulting work is coaching searches. And I can't tell you how many
• 2:31
  college coaches want to get the heck out of Dodge and want to try to
• 2:38
  get jobs in the NFL. Now it's hard. There's only thirty two teams.
• 2:42
  The It is just so unpopular now coaching in college if you've got options,
• 2:49
  and it's because of a lot of the problems that we have. There's
• 2:53
  no real rhyme or reason why we do things. In terms of the calendar,
• 2:58
  the early sign of day with combined with boat preparation, combined with transfer
• 3:04
  portal, it's it's a three ring circus. So look, I think that
• 3:08
  that this would at least start some movement to try to figure out a better
• 3:14
  way to do things. I don't know where it's gonna lead, but I
• 3:17
  but I think I know where it's headed, and that is we've got to
• 3:23
  change some things for the way major college programs do things. Uh, you
• 3:28
  know, in terms of what are the rules regarding transfer port in NIL and
• 3:34
  and what is allowable what's not. And I think right now we're dealing with
• 3:38
  a lot of that going on with Tennessee is what really happened? Is it
• 3:42
  really different than what other people are doing? Why did they come after them?
• 3:46
  Brocare's others? And I think I've got theories on that, But yeah,
• 3:51
  I think I think it's going to be interesting to see and for those
• 3:54
  that realize that we're going to need reform, maybe this is the beginning of
• 3:59
  a good thing. I don't know if it's going to be what everybody thinks,
• 4:01
  like, Hey, we're gonna break off from the NC Double A and
• 4:04
  we're gonna do this, you know, you know, think it the NC
• 4:10
  Double A. It deserves tons of criticism. But if we don't have a
• 4:15
  governing body, there is no college football. I mean there's no way.
• 4:18
  And people don't understand that the NC Double A is its member of institutions.
• 4:25
  I mean, you know, so when you're criticized, it's you're criticizing your
• 4:30
  institutions. It's in and of itself, we need to reorganize it. But
• 4:35
  the concept of that we need a governing body is it's pretty clear that we
• 4:42
  do what other system of a big environment to the level of college football can
• 4:46
  just go out without any rules of no enforcement. We've got to have a
• 4:51
  way to clean it up. So yeah, hopefully this leads to good things.
• 4:56
  Chris Landry talking NCAA Reform Monday edition of the program. We'll get to
• 5:00
  Super Bowl here in just a bit. Hey, what about Chim Kelly.
• 5:01
  What's what's gonna happen with him? You know the signs if he wanted out,
• 5:05
  wants out at UCLA. There's excerts and pieces out there on different publications
• 5:10
  about they should have done this last year? Is he screaming for the mountaintop?
• 5:14
  He wants out this year? I mean, what happens with him in
• 5:15
  UCLA? Uh, he definitely wants out, and kind of for the reasons
• 5:20
  that I mentioned. He's you know, it's not this is not I can
• 5:24
  tell you this. There are a number of coaches that if they can get
• 5:28
  into the NFL, they would Chip Kelly would rather be an offensive coordinator in
• 5:32
  the NFL than be a head coaching college football. Uh, that's where we
• 5:36
  are, and he's not alone there. There are a lot of them,
• 5:42
  and it may be at maybe your favorite school out there that if if given
• 5:46
  the choice of the lifestyle of being able to work in pro football versus in
• 5:51
  college football. Right now, that's where we are, and I believe a
• 5:56
  lot of that is being shared by you know, those that work at the
• 6:02
  administrative level, and I think they're they're concerned about that. The money has
• 6:06
  become great in college, so that was always the big thing. You get
• 6:11
  paid a lot more money in the NFL. Well, you can get paid
• 6:14
  a lot in college now, but the lifestyle. You can get paid more
• 6:18
  money even still in the NFL and have a much better lifestyle. And I
• 6:25
  think that's that's the biggest issue. That's the biggest problem that they have right
• 6:28
  now because you're not you're recruiting twenty four to seven, three sixty five because
• 6:34
  you have to recruit your own players every day. There's not an assistant coach
• 6:42
  and much less a head coach. But as a day that goes by that
• 6:46
  he doesn't have one player come in talking about, you know, I want
• 6:51
  I need more money because so and so's at this other school is talking about
• 6:57
  I can go here and do that. You're recruiting your our own players every
• 7:00
  day. It is a big, big issue that we've got going on.
• 7:04
  So, yeah, Kip is one latest example. He's not just well,
• 7:10
  something's going on unique at UCLA. You're not hearing a lot of it at
• 7:15
  other places, but it's happening. And as I said, a lot would
• 7:18
  leave that they could Chris Andrew on your radio. Make sure to find him
• 7:21
  on Exit Landry Footballandry football dot Com. Chris, the Senior Bowl was this
• 7:25
  weekend. You just kind of look at and I know we've talked with you
• 7:28
  about this, so just humor be on the projections from NFL dot com or
• 7:32
  ESPN and we've talked through and we'll do this again about evaluating quarterbacks and players
• 7:38
  as you move into the draft. But how much movement can you make as
• 7:43
  a quarterback at the Senior Bowl? How important is the Senior Bowl? When
• 7:46
  you look at Boenix, Michael Pennick, Spencer Rattler gets the MVP, there's
• 7:48
  a lot of buzz around him, Michael Pratt, Joe Milton, Sam Hartman
• 7:51
  from Notre Dame, Carter Bradley from South Alabama. That week? How important
• 7:56
  is that week? It's important timely. By the way, I also did
• 8:03
  a post on that Atlandic Football talking about what we look for because I spent
• 8:07
  three days there last week. It's different than what people think. So at
• 8:13
  the Senior Bowl, here's what really matters the practices the game. You get
• 8:18
  the tape, and we get all the practice tape too, but you can
• 8:20
  go out there as a staff, as a scouting staff, and you it's
• 8:26
  a way to kind of get there and look at players in an individual sense
• 8:33
  that you may have seen during the season you may not, but there put
• 8:37
  in environments that basically expose their individuality. It's completely different than any other game
• 8:43
  or practice. We're trying to make it to where you can evaluate the players
• 8:48
  individually and not collectively as a team. I think it's important in that,
• 8:56
  particularly for smaller college guys, because there's a chance to do things against a
• 9:01
  better level of competition than you've had all year long or your career, even
• 9:05
  depending on where you went to school for three or four years. And I
• 9:11
  think it really kind of showcases their skills. If you play well, I
• 9:13
  think he can help yourself. If you don't, it's understood because it's a
• 9:20
  hodgepodge of you don't have any kind of synchronicity with your opponents, with your
• 9:26
  teammates rather because you haven't practiced but two or three practices. So I think
• 9:33
  it can help yourself not hurt yourself. And I think All it does is
• 9:37
  another piece of the puzzle, another step along the evaluation process because people look
• 9:43
  at it now as they think, okay, now it's scouting season now.
• 9:46
  No scouting season is twelve months a year. So the biggest, most important
• 9:52
  part is what happened in the fall evaluating guys. This is just the time
• 9:56
  where the coaches on NFL teams who don't get to look good players during the
• 10:01
  nfit college players during the season, get their first look at them and obviously
• 10:07
  sometimes can get a little too excited one way or the other because maybe they
• 10:13
  haven't done enough film work. So I think it's important that you got to
• 10:16
  temperate and put it in contacts with how the guys played throughout his career.
• 10:20
  But I think smaller college guys that showed that they can match up against,
• 10:26
  you know, higher level guys, I think it's huge for those guys.
