Set 2: Job Security (w/Ryan Day) · Stugotz and Company

0:21
Speaker 1: It is to GOADSA Company presented by FanDuel and the
0:23
Speaker 1: FanDuel Sportsbook. Ryan Day, the head coach of the Ohio
0:27
Speaker 1: State Buckeyes, get to join us in about ten minutes. Mikey,
0:31
Speaker 1: It's fascinating to me that Ryan Day was a guy
0:35
Speaker 1: who I would say would lead all coaches in terms
0:38
Speaker 1: of guys who were always on the hot seat. And
0:41
Speaker 1: now he is the guy I think in college football,
0:43
Speaker 1: unless you guys correct me, with the most job security
0:47
Speaker 1: of any coach in America, Like, is there anyone else?
0:49
Speaker 1: And I'm happy for him because he's earned it and
0:51
Speaker 1: he deserves it, and I'm excited to talk to him
0:54
Speaker 1: at ten minutes. But when you think of coaches that
0:57
Speaker 1: have job security, you certainly think of which was not
1:01
Speaker 1: the case three years ago.
1:05
Speaker 2: The only name I can come up with that probably
1:07
Speaker 2: has more job security. Two names I can come up
1:11
Speaker 2: with have more job security than Ryan Day, Pat McAfee, yes,
1:18
Speaker 2: and Kurt Signetti and Signette, those are the only two
1:21
Speaker 2: guys that I could think of that are probably have
1:24
Speaker 2: more jobs.
1:24
Speaker 1: I'm saying Ryan Day could lose all his games this
1:27
Speaker 1: year and lose to Michigan, not win a single game
1:29
Speaker 1: and he'd still be the Ohio state head coach next year.
1:31
Speaker 3: How about that he would be the Ohio state coach
1:34
Speaker 3: next year. But the dangerous part about saying that Ryan
1:37
Speaker 3: Day has this certain level of job security. If you
1:41
Speaker 3: do lose the Michigan game, yes, all bets are off
1:45
Speaker 3: and everything's back on the table. In terms of Ryan
1:47
Speaker 3: Day putting himself back onto the hot seat.
1:50
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, they're in the playoffs every year.
1:52
Speaker 1: They churn out more NFL players I think than any
1:55
Speaker 1: other university, any of the program in the country. And
1:58
Speaker 1: the guy won a national championship. I mean, and what
2:03
Speaker 1: do you mean if he loses to Michigan, He's not
2:05
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. Man, those days are over. I don't
2:08
Speaker 1: know that.
2:09
Speaker 2: They are absolutely crazy in Columbus, Ohio about this team,
2:13
Speaker 2: especially when it comes to that rivalry. I'm not saying
2:15
Speaker 2: he doesn't deserve more job security. I'm not saying he
2:19
Speaker 2: isn't you know, a capable and really good head coach.
2:23
Speaker 2: I'm just saying these people aren't what you'd call saying.
2:26
Speaker 1: In fairness to what it is you are saying Ryan Day.
2:30
Speaker 1: The year he won the national championship, they lost to Michigan.
2:32
Speaker 1: And fans weren't happy.
2:34
Speaker 3: I mean, yep, that's a completely different thing. You should
2:37
Speaker 3: not be able to lose. You should not be able
2:39
Speaker 3: to lose to your biggest rival in the season and
2:42
Speaker 3: still make the playoffs and have the chance to win
2:44
Speaker 3: the national championship. There's something there's something flawed in that
2:50
Speaker 3: logic where take me back to the days in college
2:52
Speaker 3: football where you lose a game and it feels like
2:55
Speaker 3: your world's ending, your season's over. A program as storied
2:59
Speaker 3: and prestigious as Ohio State should not be able to
3:02
Speaker 3: lose the game to Michigan and then still have something
3:06
Speaker 3: to look forward to. That that's not some some bowl
3:09
Speaker 3: game in Orlando, Florida.
3:11
Speaker 1: So what are you saying here? If they lose to
3:13
Speaker 1: their rival, they should not make the season, should be over, over.
3:16
Speaker 3: Right, have fun at the rely questo, why do they
3:22
Speaker 3: get to play in that? I mean somebody has to
3:24
Speaker 3: fill the cheese at ball spot.
3:26
Speaker 1: It's a punishment. Yes, yeah. Can you think of coaches
3:31
Speaker 1: who have similar job security to Ryan Day? I would
3:34
Speaker 1: say Dan Lanning in Oregon, of course, Kurt Signetti in Indiana,
3:38
Speaker 1: and I would also say Lincoln Riley at USC. I
3:41
Speaker 1: don't know why the guy just never got anything, didn't
3:43
Speaker 1: do anything, and never gets fired the Todd Bowls of
3:47
Speaker 1: the NFL.
3:48
Speaker 3: The name I will throw out there would be Marcus
3:51
Speaker 3: Freeman at Notre Dame. Good one, just because Notre Dame
3:54
Speaker 3: is coming off of that Brian Kelly experience where they
3:56
Speaker 3: don't want that Brian Kelly stink back on them, right,
3:59
Speaker 3: and it feels like Notre Dame is not going to
4:01
Speaker 3: put Marcus Freeman in spots to to really test themselves
4:05
Speaker 3: outside of the conference, Like Notre Dame is more than
4:07
Speaker 3: happy with with Marcus Freeman getting double digit wins going
4:11
Speaker 3: to the playoff, and especially now that they have that
4:13
Speaker 3: that basically guaranteed playoff spot. Yeah, if Notre Dame is
4:16
Speaker 3: ranked inside the top.
4:17
Speaker 1: And he looks great just standing on the sideline, Yes,
4:24
Speaker 1: where do.
4:25
Speaker 2: We put Lane Kiffin on this scale? Considering all they
4:27
Speaker 2: did to bring him there? Wow, all of that hoopla,
4:31
Speaker 2: it'd be hard to be like, yeah, you know what,
4:33
Speaker 2: this isn't just this just isn't work it out.
4:35
Speaker 1: He's got a year, right, he does before people start
4:37
Speaker 1: criticizing him.
4:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could you could make the argument this year
4:40
Speaker 3: that Lane Kiffin is under the most pressure in the
4:43
Speaker 3: SEC to win, which sounds crazy because he's just getting there.
4:47
Speaker 3: But in this era of the transfer portal and all
4:49
Speaker 3: the hoopla that comes when you hire Lane Kiffin, lane
4:52
Speaker 3: Kiffin does have an expectation to win year one in
4:54
Speaker 3: Baton Rouge.
4:55
Speaker 1: It sounds crazy when you consider Kailin de Bores in
4:57
Speaker 1: the same conference.
4:58
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, one the Mikey Ware. I don't think
5:04
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin deserves the the level of job security because
5:08
Speaker 3: if you're if you're LSU, you know that Lane Kiffin
5:12
Speaker 3: will screw you over the second he gets the chance
5:14
Speaker 3: at some point. So LSU can't go in and say like, oh,
5:17
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin has this job for life when you know
5:20
Speaker 3: behind Lane Kiffin's back it's a knife getting ready to
5:23
Speaker 3: dagger you in the neck.
5:24
Speaker 1: So you fire him the future. I'm sorry, I can't. Yeah,
5:30
Speaker 1: that was a lot.
5:34
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that Lane doesn't have job security. I'm
5:37
Speaker 2: wondering if LSU has employer security, because that's where it
5:40
Speaker 2: would be, right.
5:41
Speaker 1: How about McGuire Texas Tech. He's got security, right, he does.
5:46
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm smart. I'm smart, Taylor, you make
5:49
Speaker 1: that face. But the guy with the most job security
5:52
Speaker 1: is the head coach at Indiana.
5:54
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Joey McGuire just has job security because
5:57
Speaker 3: it's Texas Tech though, And it's like, Okay, what are
6:00
Speaker 3: we gonna tak that he just says.
6:02
Speaker 2: We're a security because it's Indiana.
6:03
Speaker 3: We're gonna fire Joey McGuire and try to convince somebody
6:06
Speaker 3: else to come to Lubbock. Like joe McGuire is doing
6:08
Speaker 3: a good job, good enough job to be like, Okay,
6:10
Speaker 3: we don't have to worry about him if if he
6:12
Speaker 3: has a couple of down seasons, right, we trust Joey
6:14
Speaker 3: McGuire to figure it out instead of trying to restart
6:17
Speaker 3: this process in Lubbock.
6:18
Speaker 1: So he has job security, I mean he does, he
6:20
Speaker 1: really does. Sark does not. Who are the guys who
6:23
Speaker 1: don't have Who are the guys who his schools are
6:26
Speaker 1: just waiting for them to trip up so they could
6:28
Speaker 1: fire him? Unc un c.
6:31
Speaker 3: U and C is at the top of the list.
6:33
Speaker 4: Uh tough one, Sark, for sure, you think so, oh,
6:39
Speaker 4: no doubt, just because of the level of coaches that
6:41
Speaker 4: would want that job if it ever opened.
6:43
Speaker 1: The level of coaches that would want that job. The
6:46
Speaker 1: expectations there, the amount of money that Texas has to
6:50
Speaker 1: offer a new head coach. Austin is a great spot,
6:53
Speaker 1: great place to live, no state tax. I believe in Texas.
6:56
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's got to be and you have a
6:58
Speaker 1: manning at quarterback, do something with them.
7:00
Speaker 3: I mean, Stu, I think you mentioned the school with
7:03
Speaker 3: the coach with the hottest seat and ready to kind
7:07
Speaker 3: of turn the program and find a new coach. I
7:10
Speaker 3: think it's Alabama.
7:12
Speaker 1: He made the playoff last year and that's the problem
7:14
Speaker 1: with the expanded playoff. He could just say, hey, I
7:16
Speaker 1: made the playoffs last year. Yeah.
7:18
Speaker 3: Man, if you're Alabama, the standard can't be making the
7:21
Speaker 3: playoff and then getting run off the field by Kirk
7:23
Speaker 3: Sinnetti and Fernando Mendoza. Like Alabama fans are watching them
7:27
Speaker 3: lose to Indiana and saying, that should be us running
7:30
Speaker 3: you off the field.
7:31
Speaker 1: Yep, Mikey, you agree. It's Kaylen de Bor, the guy
7:34
Speaker 1: with the most amount of pressure on him. This year, probably.
7:36
Speaker 2: Kaylen de Bor could win forty five nothing and they'll
7:39
Speaker 2: wonder why it wasn't fifty two.
7:41
Speaker 1: Like that's what it's like for Kaylen de Boor in Alabama.
7:44
Speaker 1: Put that on the Paul Taylor could Kaitlin de boor
7:47
Speaker 1: win a game by forty five points and the fans
7:49
Speaker 1: would wonder why it wasn't by fifty two.
7:52
Speaker 3: The coach who's on the coach who's on the hottest
7:55
Speaker 3: seat that doesn't really care if his seat is hot, Yeah,
7:59
Speaker 3: because he just has like staring contest with him or
8:01
Speaker 3: who's gonna bling first contest with them? Right, Clemson and
8:05
Speaker 3: Dabo Sweeney.
8:07
Speaker 1: Right, he should have been fired three years ago.
8:09
Speaker 3: Like every time they have a down season. Dabbo just
8:12
Speaker 3: looks at Clemson's powers that being like, I dare you
8:15
Speaker 3: to get rid of me. You're not gonna do better
8:16
Speaker 3: than me, And like, if you think you're gonna do
8:19
Speaker 3: better than me, I'll gladly take whatever buyout money you
8:22
Speaker 3: want to give me.
8:23
Speaker 1: I never imagine that this day would arrive where I
8:26
Speaker 1: would be able to say this, But the head coach
8:28

8:32

10:30
Speaker 1: is with us very excited about this. College football is
10:33
Speaker 1: ten eleven days away from week zero. What is the
10:37
Speaker 1: coach of the Ohio State Buck Guys doing over the
10:40
Speaker 1: next ten days to get his team ready for the
10:43
Speaker 1: upcoming season?
10:44
Speaker 5: Coach, Well, I just left a special teams meeting. We
10:47
Speaker 5: had a big practice this morning, so sort.
10:50
Speaker 6: In the middle of the grind right now. This is
10:52
Speaker 6: a big week for us.
10:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, probably, And I guess you know, practice thirteen
10:57
Speaker 5: now and this is where you find out about yourself,
11:00
Speaker 5: you know, as a player.
11:00
Speaker 6: Some of the freshmen.
11:01
Speaker 5: I feel like I remember feeling like this is a
11:03
Speaker 5: freshman where you feel like you're in the middle of
11:05
Speaker 5: the ocean and everywhere you look as water there's no
11:08
Speaker 5: there's no island there or land in sight. So they're
11:11
Speaker 5: swimming right now. But it's all part of the process,
11:14
Speaker 5: and uh, these guys will come out of it soon.
11:16
Speaker 6: In order to feel good, you got to feel bad,
11:18
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So, uh, these guys are
11:20
Speaker 6: going through that. Now.
11:21
Speaker 1: Let me be the first one to congratulate you on
11:23
Speaker 1: getting the most votes from the media and being the
11:25
Speaker 1: number one team in the country before we snap the football.
11:28
Speaker 1: Congratulations coach. Yeah right, you don't like the preseason AP rankings,
11:37
Speaker 1: you know.
11:37
Speaker 5: I will say this, like, I don't think it affects anybody,
11:41
Speaker 5: Like I don't even think that TV, you know, because
11:44
Speaker 5: like whether it's now or in like three weeks, you know,
11:47
Speaker 5: we're always sort of like right up there. And I
11:50
Speaker 5: don't even think it even phases in, Like nobody even
11:52
Speaker 5: brings it up. It's not even anything that we even
11:54
Speaker 5: focus on.
11:55
Speaker 6: Like at all, you know what I mean.
11:56
Speaker 5: So it's not even one of those things I even
11:58
Speaker 5: worry about whether it is or it isn't. But but
12:00
Speaker 5: I will say, like, I just so antiquated now because
12:03
Speaker 5: nobody even knows these teams because everyone's guys leave and transfer,
12:07
Speaker 5: so it's even less relevant.
12:10
Speaker 6: Now.
12:10
Speaker 1: Do you like today's college football?
12:13
Speaker 6: Yeah? I love it. I love it because you're right from.
12:16
Speaker 1: A fan standpoint, it's confusing as to where you know
12:18
Speaker 1: who's gone where and who's playing quarterback where it's just
12:21
Speaker 1: confusing for fans, that's all.
12:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, are there things that we all want
12:26
Speaker 5: to see changed? Absolutely? The offseason is not fun, but
12:30
Speaker 5: the season is because it's still it's still football and
12:34
Speaker 5: that's what it's all about.
12:35
Speaker 6: And it's still you know, eighteen to.
12:36
Speaker 5: Twenty two year olds and helping them in the most
12:38
Speaker 5: formal years their lives, and that part of it has
12:41
Speaker 5: not changed. You know, these kids do change, the generations
12:45
Speaker 5: are different, but that hasn't and that's that's what makes
12:48
Speaker 5: this fun.
12:49
Speaker 3: Coach, I don't know if you saw, but Akron is
12:51
Speaker 3: actually doing a promotion where they're letting a fan do
12:54
Speaker 3: the opening drive, work with the coach and call the
12:57
Speaker 3: opening drive in their in their first game. Is there
12:59
Speaker 3: an gift to Ohio State Booster could give you for
13:02
Speaker 3: you to kind of reciprocate that and let let them call.
13:05
Speaker 5: Series full disclosure. I think like two years ago we
13:10
Speaker 5: did this auction, and you know, we're doing all these
13:13
Speaker 5: different things. And I got up there and I said, yeah,
13:15
Speaker 5: anybody who wants to call the first play? And I
13:18
Speaker 5: forget exactly what what the opener was. I said, you
13:20
Speaker 5: guys can call the first play. And it went for like,
13:23
Speaker 5: I don't know, twenty thousand dollars, and they didn't go.
13:27
Speaker 6: They didn't call the first play. But that wasn't going
13:32
Speaker 6: to happen this.
13:36
Speaker 1: Did he even try to call the first play? Was
13:38
Speaker 1: it rejected? What happened?
13:41
Speaker 6: I think? I said, well, what do you like?
13:42
Speaker 1: Run or pass?
13:43
Speaker 6: Passed?
13:46
Speaker 1: Run it up the middle hand? Them is twenty thousand back.
13:49
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, man, coach, so you're starting the season,
13:57
Speaker 1: let me let me do this because I'm so happy
13:59
Speaker 1: for you, because I was saying, before you won the
14:01
Speaker 1: national championship, there is no reason that Ryan Day should
14:05
Speaker 1: be on the hot seat every single season. And so
14:08
Speaker 1: you have gone from a guy who's always on the
14:09
Speaker 1: hot seat to a guy who has I think the
14:12
Speaker 1: most job security in college football. And I was just
14:14
Speaker 1: wondering how that feels to you, Well.
14:18
Speaker 6: I didn't feel like that before. I don't feel like
14:20
Speaker 6: that now.
14:22
Speaker 5: I think that there's just an expectation of the tradition
14:25
Speaker 5: that comes with Ohio State, and like this time of year,
14:28
Speaker 5: like everything just gets ramped up because it means so
14:30
Speaker 5: much to so many people here and we have to
14:33
Speaker 5: hold up that standard year in and year out. And when
14:36
Speaker 5: you look at this season, you know, it's a monster.
14:39
Speaker 5: We got to be really good on the road this season,
14:40
Speaker 5: and then we got to finish the season better than
14:42
Speaker 5: we did last year. And so no, I mean just honestly,
14:46
Speaker 5: it's year to year when it comes to you know, producing,
14:50
Speaker 5: but then also making sure that it isn't year to
14:52
Speaker 5: year how you're recruiting and how you're retaining and how
14:54
Speaker 5: you're building your staff. And I think every year we've
14:57
Speaker 5: gotten stronger, we've built we've done the different things that
14:59
Speaker 5: we need to do to establish, you know, credibility, you know,
15:05
Speaker 5: because you know, truth be told. For me, this is
15:08
Speaker 5: my first time as a head coach here ot Oho State.
15:10
Speaker 5: And you know, once you when you when you have
15:12
Speaker 5: that opportunity, man, you got to take it and run.
15:15
Speaker 5: And but you also have to have victories along the way,
15:18
Speaker 5: and then certainly you have to prove you know your
15:20
Speaker 5: worth and so along the way. You know, certainly, you know,
15:23
Speaker 5: we've built up a lot of credibility here with with
15:25
Speaker 5: the people in Ohio.
15:26
Speaker 6: But hey, man, try losing a game. See how it goes.
15:29
Speaker 5: I mean, it doesn't go over it well if you
15:31
Speaker 5: don't win games. But we know that that's that's not
15:34
Speaker 5: something we run from. I mean from I remember from
15:36
Speaker 5: the first press conference I had, I said, hey, you know,
15:38
Speaker 5: the expectation is to win the rivalry game and win
15:40
Speaker 5: every other game after that, And that's still the way
15:43
Speaker 5: it is right now eight years later.
15:44
Speaker 3: Coach, I know you take a lot of pride in
15:46
Speaker 3: how many guys Ohio State and your program puts into
15:50
Speaker 3: the NFL. Eleven players drafted. Uh this past NFL draft.
15:54
Speaker 3: What are the challenges replacing that group and that level
15:57
Speaker 3: of talent.
15:59
Speaker 6: Well, the good news is we have a lot of
16:00
Speaker 6: practice doing it.
16:02
Speaker 5: The bad news is, yeah, I mean we have to
16:04
Speaker 5: do it again this year with a bunch of guys
16:05
Speaker 5: who left in three years, which is great for them,
16:07
Speaker 5: not great for us. But I think the first thing
16:10
Speaker 5: is just the production, but then the leadership and the
16:13
Speaker 5: experience and so yeah, I mean we.
16:16
Speaker 6: Got to do a good job of that. We tried
16:18
Speaker 6: to replace some of those things in the portal.
16:20
Speaker 5: We have some guys who have experience not playing at
16:23
Speaker 5: Ohio State but at other places, and so that's all
16:26
Speaker 5: part of the process that we're working on right now
16:28
Speaker 5: and putting those pieces in the puzzle.
16:30
Speaker 6: And I think Matt does a great job of that.
16:32
Speaker 5: On defense, always has you know, when you look at,
16:34
Speaker 5: you know, what we did last year with our vel
16:36
Speaker 5: and Sonny and Caleb, you know, there'll be a lot
16:39
Speaker 5: of things that we do that are similar and then
16:40
Speaker 5: other things that we have to make sure that we're
16:41
Speaker 5: putting our guys in the right positions to be successful.
16:44
Speaker 5: When you look at the Patriots and what he did there,
16:47
Speaker 5: you know, each year it looked a little different based
16:48
Speaker 5: on what he had. So that's part of this preseason
16:52
Speaker 5: and you know, we're building our identity over there.
16:54
Speaker 1: Now.
16:54
Speaker 3: What do you like about your quarterback? Julian saying as
16:56
Speaker 3: he enters his second year now as the full time
16:59
Speaker 3: starter for all Ohio State.
17:01
Speaker 6: I like the way he's practicing right now.
17:03
Speaker 5: I like his approach, acting like a pro and really
17:06
Speaker 5: enjoys working with Billy Fessler, but really enjoys working with
17:09
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith. Just the challenges that he brings on a
17:12
Speaker 5: daily day basis coming from Aaron Rodgers, you know, to
17:16
Speaker 5: somebody who has just had so much experience and so
17:19
Speaker 5: much feedback and can handle so much information, just has
17:21
Speaker 5: a rolodex of plays and games to a young young
17:25
Speaker 5: player like Julian.
17:27
Speaker 6: But but Julian's embrace that it's been a challenge for him.
17:29
Speaker 5: I think his leadership and his voice has become, you know,
17:32
Speaker 5: really good with our guys. And I think he's vibing
17:35
Speaker 5: well with the offensive line and the skill guys. So
17:38
Speaker 5: they're moving around a lot of confidence right now in
17:40
Speaker 5: the Woody and they're practicing that way.
17:42
Speaker 6: So that's been good. I got to keep building on it.
17:45
Speaker 2: Coach, you mentioned the Rivalry game, and it seems like
17:48
Speaker 2: new Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham is trying to like
17:51
Speaker 2: lower the temperature on this game. Are you a fan
17:54
Speaker 2: of him lowering the temperature of that game or are
17:56
Speaker 2: you like, nope, let's keep it going.
17:59
Speaker 6: Well.
17:59
Speaker 5: I mean that game is the biggest game, you know,
18:04
Speaker 5: in the world. You know, we know that it has
18:06
Speaker 5: been that way for a long, long time, you know,
18:08
Speaker 5: and and we'll continue to be that way. Before you
18:11
Speaker 5: know the coach or you know the coach will change,
18:13
Speaker 5: the players will change, but that that won't change. And
18:16
Speaker 5: I will just say this, I have I have a
18:18
Speaker 5: tremendous round respect for for Kyle.
18:19
Speaker 6: I have tremendous round respect for their rivalry.
18:20
Speaker 5: That's why we work it every day and we know
18:23
Speaker 5: that that's you know, the first thing you know on.
18:26
Speaker 6: Our goal board every year. And so that won't change
18:29
Speaker 6: the season.
18:29
Speaker 1: All right, coach, we have a game for you here.
18:31
Speaker 1: Mikey and Taylor are gonna ask you some questions. The game.
18:34
Speaker 1: The name of the game is Day or Nay. So uh,
18:37
Speaker 1: I feel ridiculous explaining this to you, but I have to. Uh.
18:41
Speaker 1: If it's something you agree with, it's Day. If it's
18:43
Speaker 1: something you don't agree with, it is Nay. Do we understand?
18:46
Speaker 1: Are we understanding? Why am I talking like that?
18:51
Speaker 5: I don't know what the hell's come happen, but I
18:55
Speaker 5: know the rules.
18:56
Speaker 1: I've probably played this before, Coach, you've played it before
18:59
Speaker 1: with us. It's I think I think he played it
19:01
Speaker 1: the day he was on with us and he was
19:03
Speaker 1: telling us about he plays tennis to relieve stress. Has
19:06
Speaker 1: a tennis game?
19:06
Speaker 6: Cook tennis game is not very good?
19:09
Speaker 1: Right, it's all right. I promise these questions will be delicate.
19:16
Speaker 1: I promise you. Or no, okay, I promise Taylor take it.
19:20
Speaker 3: Away golfing in season day or nay?
19:25
Speaker 2: Football stakes cooked well done?
19:34
Speaker 1: How about ketchup on stakes? I want to get involved
19:36
Speaker 1: in the game. Ketch up on steak? No, my wife
19:42
Speaker 1: did it first date? I almost left her.
19:43
Speaker 6: I did you gotta get her some better steaks.
19:47
Speaker 1: That was the best steakouts in Miami. Taylor going.
19:51
Speaker 3: Football games played abroad day ornee.
19:58
Speaker 1: A Nay.
20:02
Speaker 6: If it's us day for other people, I think it's
20:04
Speaker 6: good for the.
20:04
Speaker 5: Sport over the ocean, go play it for else.
20:10
Speaker 6: It's good for the sport, and I'm glad to see
20:11
Speaker 6: other people.
20:12
Speaker 1: Doing day for everyone else. Nay for you, I got
20:15
Speaker 1: it fair enough. Uh.
20:17
Speaker 2: Pumpkins, spice lattes, Nay.
20:21
Speaker 6: I look that my dog. My daughter loves some lottes.
20:24
Speaker 3: But Taylor, helmet stickers are are getting too out of control.
20:32
Speaker 3: We've got too many helmet stickers.
20:34
Speaker 1: Day or Nay.
20:36
Speaker 6: I'm in the middle on that one. I do agree
20:38
Speaker 6: with you.
20:38
Speaker 5: I think that we need to make sure that we're
20:41
Speaker 5: earning all of our stickers, and so we made sure
20:44
Speaker 5: we take a look at that. But we're also playing
20:46
Speaker 5: more games, so you're seeing a lot more stickers on
20:48
Speaker 5: the helmet. So we try not to just give away
20:52
Speaker 5: those Buckeye stickers. They should mean something, So it's something
20:56
Speaker 5: I'm keeping a close eye on. It's like inflation, you
20:58
Speaker 5: know what I mean, keep an eye on.
20:59
Speaker 1: It's exactly Coach.
21:01
Speaker 3: We have a friend, Lucy Rodean, who's our college football
21:04
Speaker 3: expert here, and she said that if she was a
21:06
Speaker 3: college football player, she would buy stickers and put them
21:09
Speaker 3: on her helmet. What would you do if she was
21:11
Speaker 3: a member of your team and you found somebody putting
21:13
Speaker 3: their own stickers on the helmet, that would.
21:16
Speaker 6: Be a bad day.
21:19
Speaker 5: Days on their own helmet, that would be bad.
21:24
Speaker 1: All right day? Or nay. Chris Simms told the story.
21:27
Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier on one of our podcasts.
21:30
Speaker 1: But delivery drivers not getting out of the car to
21:33
Speaker 1: bring food to your door because they're afraid of your
21:35
Speaker 1: dog day or nay, nay.
21:38
Speaker 6: There's there's no dogs at our house. That's no chance.
21:42
Speaker 5: My wife is not going to have it, and that's it.
21:44
Speaker 5: My youngest wants dogs, but she's not going to win
21:47
Speaker 5: that battle. So that's not an issue at our.
21:50
Speaker 1: House, all right. But if you had a dog, would
21:51
Speaker 1: you expect the delivery guy to bring the food like,
21:54
Speaker 1: and the dog was roaming free in the front yard,
21:55
Speaker 1: would you expect them to get out of the car
21:57
Speaker 1: and bring your food to the front door.
21:59
Speaker 6: No?
22:00
Speaker 5: No, I mean yeah, it's like, I give my father
22:03
Speaker 5: in law a lot of credit, he says. Everybody says
22:05
Speaker 5: their dog doesn't bite. He says, well, how is it
22:07
Speaker 5: over two million dog bites in the United States every year.
22:09
Speaker 6: He's got a good point. I don't trust it.
22:12
Speaker 1: Wise man, got me.
22:17
Speaker 2: All right, last one for me, coach Indiana is now
22:20
Speaker 2: a football school, not a basketball school.
22:25
Speaker 6: No, I mean, listen, listen.
22:27
Speaker 5: Uh, you know you got to give them a lot
22:29
Speaker 5: of credit and what they did and how they did
22:32
Speaker 5: and uh, and how they played last year, and hey,
22:34
Speaker 5: they're defending national champs. So that's it, you know, much
22:38
Speaker 5: respect and and you know, looking forward to playing them
22:40
Speaker 5: this year. There you know that that they've really changed
22:43
Speaker 5: so much about what they've done just in terms of
22:46
Speaker 5: you know, the home environment and so you know, we're
22:49
Speaker 5: expecting them to be really strong, just like they were
22:51
Speaker 5: last year.
22:51
Speaker 6: And hey, they're defending champs, so we got to go.
22:53
Speaker 6: We gotta go play them.
22:54
Speaker 1: Coach, how did you feel about the game? We're done?
22:56
Speaker 1: Now you're done, the game's over. How'd you feel it
22:58
Speaker 1: wasn't it? It was fine? Right?
23:00
Speaker 6: So that was fine? That was easy though.
23:02
Speaker 1: That was.
23:04
Speaker 6: A lot tougher questions than those.
23:06
Speaker 1: Yes, well, no, we don't do difficult questions here. That's
23:08
Speaker 1: why we want to have you on more often. Okay,
23:10
Speaker 1: we will not press you on anything. I probot you
23:13
Speaker 1: for day or night. Of course. That's how we We'll
23:17
Speaker 1: talk to you next week. Okay, right, coach, real quick
23:22
Speaker 1: on the way out. I do want to ask this,
23:24
Speaker 1: and I'm being serious. I know you don't pay attention
23:26
Speaker 1: to the AP preseason pol I get it. I understand why.
23:30
Speaker 1: But did you take any delight in seeing that no
23:32
Speaker 1: SEC team got any first place votes for the first
23:35
Speaker 1: time ever?
23:38
Speaker 5: No?
23:38
Speaker 6: Again, I don't. I don't think people know. I don't
23:40
Speaker 6: think they know what these teams look like.
23:41
Speaker 5: And then I think when you look at last year's
23:44
Speaker 5: someone showed me the preseason poll from last year, it
23:46
Speaker 5: was nothing really to what it looked like at the
23:48
Speaker 5: end of the season. So I just think there's so
23:50
Speaker 5: many unknowns, like let's just go play some football. But
23:53
Speaker 5: but I do think like it doesn't matter what happened
23:56
Speaker 5: last year. Doesn't you know that the past doesn't really matter?
23:59
Speaker 5: That question is like, all right, what are we doing
24:01
Speaker 5: this year in our conference? We want to be the
24:03
Speaker 5: best conference in the Country's certainly we've won the national
24:05
Speaker 5: championship last three years and we can all argue, but
24:07
Speaker 5: what matters is what we put on the field this
24:09
Speaker 5: year and.
24:09
Speaker 6: Then where we're going. And I think our conference is
24:12
Speaker 6: very very well positioned moving forward.
24:13
Speaker 1: Ye, coach, we appreciate this, good luck this season. Hopefully
24:16
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again down the road. We always
24:18
Speaker 1: enjoy having you on and good luck to you and
24:21
Speaker 1: the kids this season.
24:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, I appreciate you guys, Go bucks. Thanks all right, man,
