  Speaker 3: here for hours number two and three. We're gonna hang
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: out with you for the next sixty minutes or so.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Here's the deal. You remember when Frank Wilson was named
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: interim on Sunday, everyone said Brian Kelly didn't really allow
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: former players back into the building. That's going to change
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: with Frank Wilson. Well, guys, it's changing and changing quickly.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Jake Matter actually going to be at LSU speaking to
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: the team.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I think that's great.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I think as pivotal as it is for LSU football
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: right now, that might actually be more important than coming
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: here and hosted the radio show.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: So we are good with it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: And if you're watching on YouTube and you see our
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: get ups, no, I didn't kill anyone in the parking lot,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and Alandra did not cut her hair. We are dressed
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: up in Halloween costumes. Did Jake and Matt say they're
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: going to be dressed up when they get back at
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the eight o'clock hour?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: We went ahead and did it. Alandra? What what are you?
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: I am Mia Wallace from pulp Fiction. So I actually
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: did cut off my hair and died it blacks.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Oh wait, I thought you said it was a wig.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Wig.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: You went all out well honest.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: So this is like my favorite costume I've ever done.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It looks great.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I mean when you when you walked in today, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: was like, Okay, the shirt is perfect, the wig is perfect.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Like it's one of those things where even if you
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: haven't seen the movie, everybody knews is like what you are,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: even if you haven't seen the movie yet. So like,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I think you nailed it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: On the other hand, I didn't think this through. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: didn't realize we were gonna have to do the first hour.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: We're gonna actually see how I sound. I am Jason.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: So we got this really pretty looking mask right now.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: It's as you can see on YouTube. I didn't want
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to start the show with this on I thought it
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: might look a little jarring, Jake said the other day.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Tell her you're not gonna have any problem doing a
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Halloween costume. You have plenty of them. You dress up
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: every year. Sure, but I like to go like pretty
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: all out, pretty elaborate. And we kind of decided what
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Tuesday we were actually going to like finally dress up. So, I, guys,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I'll be very honest. I was like, let me think
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: of something that I already have. I had this mask
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: from like years ago, I don't even remember why, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: so I found an old white T shirts platted some
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: blood on it, and here we are. We are Jason
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and Landra Mia Wallace. Not exactly a couple costume, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you know what, I think we look pretty good back here.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, we were talking about it on Monday, Alanda,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: we didn't get to show it because I don't know
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: if you know this. A little bit happened over the weekend. Really, yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit happened. My family Halloween costume contest was
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, and I figured, you and I are dressed
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: up right now, why not go ahead and show everybody.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So me and Victoria did snow Miser and heat Miser
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: from a year without a Santa Claus, here is your boy, fully.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: White faced, white hair white.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It's a witch nose that I painted white, is exactly
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: what it is. Victoria's got the flame hair, She's got
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the nose as well.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I think we nailed it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I thought it looked great, but like,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: that's the type of costumes I do. So Jake was like, oh, Taylor,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I know you'll be down. You have all these costumes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, but do I want to take the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: time to go ahead and go all out? I gotta
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: call it a high school football game tonight. I can't
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: exactly show up with a fake nose and painted completely white.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: So we went up to pretty simple. I think it
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: worked out well. I think we'll be fine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: There is a lot to unpack today. We'll start with
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the governor's comments here in just a second, but before
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: we do, let's actually do it correctly and get the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: show started.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing courtesy of go Flow ivy spa,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: where hydration vitamins and a summer ready glow are always
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on tap now for starters.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, so, yesterday Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry gave a little
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: bit more clarity to the LSU football head coaching situation.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: So we don't know who the candidates are, we don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: know who LSU is going to hire. We do know
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: who's making the higher or should I say who is
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: not going to be making the higher Jeff Landry did
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: not pull any punches. He was pretty adamant about who
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: was not going to make this higher. And look, I'm
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: not gonna put words into the man's mouth. Let's hear
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: it from him himself. It's about two minutes, but I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: want you to hear it all because there's a lot
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to unpack here. So here is Governor Jeff Landry.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: The first question is absolutely correct. We are not going
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: down a failed path. And I wanted to tell you something.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: This is a pattern. The guy that's here now that
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: wrote that contract cost Texas A and them seventy something
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: million dollars. Right now, we got a fifty three million
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: dollar liability. We are not doing that again. And you
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: know what, I believe. I believe that we're gonna find
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: a great coach and maybe we'll let President Trump pick it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: He loves winners.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm not gonna be picking the next coach.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: But I can promise you we're gonna pick a coach,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: and we're gonna make sure that that coach is successful,
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: and we're gonna make sure that he's compensated properly, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: we're gonna put metrics on it, because I'm tired of
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: rewarding failure in this country and then leaving the taxpayers
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: on the foot, you know, to foot the bill. So yeah, absolutely,
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: who'sai No, I can tell you right now is not
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: selecting the next coach. Hell, I'll let Donald Trump select
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: it before I let him do it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: But the Border super Yer is gonna come up with
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: a committee and they're gonna go find us a coach.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: Because why Mary, I want to hold all up one
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: real quick thing on that, because here's what y'all reporters
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: need to do. Y'all need to start looking and who
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: represents all these people like these agents? You know, it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: interesting if I'm not mistaken, what is agent Kelly's agent?
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: The Texas saying they all the same agent?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Like you realize if I would be.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know how y'all, how many sports riders we
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: got here today? Just you we should have a bunch okay,
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: like This is ridiculous. Lawyers would be this board for
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: the way these agents act and the way they're able
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: to represent. In fact, they may there's no doubt they
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: may even represent some of the players now, like it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: really time for the NCAA to put on some guardrails
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: in college sports, because it is fine, we don't need
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: the guardrails. The big billionaires want to spend all that
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: kind of money, no problem. But if I got to
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: go find fifty three million dollars from Kim, It's not
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: going to be a pleasant conversation.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: I'm just telling you, I know, and I.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Think that that's important as well. Y'all should start looking
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: at today.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Certainly a lot to unpack here, so okay.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I also find it really funny he said, how many
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: sports reporters are in the audience?
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Just you? Okay?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: This was originally a press conference for Snap Benefits in Louisiana,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: which I find objectively hilarious.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you got to.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: The topic of Scott Woodward when you know, to have
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: any press conference about Snap benefits, But whatever he did,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: there is a lot to unpack there. Some of it
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I actually agree with a lot of it. I don't
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: there's some pretty wild stuff. Let's let's get into to
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the beginning where he said Scott Woodward gave out a
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: contract that calls LSU to possibly pay fifty four million
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: dollars and Texas A and M seventy three. Yes, LSU
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: could potentially have to pay Brian Kelly fifty four million
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: dollars in a buyout. That's on Scott Woodward. It was
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a ten year deal, awfully guaranteed. That's on him. The
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: seventy three million dollars that he's referring to was Jimbo
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Fisher's buyout at Texas A and M. I know it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: a common way of thinking, like someone brings something up,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: everyone else's kind of rolls with it. Russ By Yorke
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: gave Jimbo Fisher that seventy three million dollar buyout at
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Texas A and M. If you remember, Jimbo got the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: extension following that twenty twenty season. It was the COVID
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: year A and M went nine to one, just barely
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: missed the playoff. They extended him after that. Scott Woodward
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: was already here because he was at LSU in twenty
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: nineteen obviously, so that part's not correct. Now, did Wouldward
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: give Jimbo a ten year deal? Yes, he did, And
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: maybe that's where I agree with Governor Landry who he
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: said these ten year deals are out of control. I agree,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I don't like the ten year deal. Like, yes, Woodward
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: did not give the big extension to cause all the
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: buyout money, but he did give Jimbo a ten year,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: seventy five million dollar deal up front in order to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: take the job. So maybe there's a little pushback there
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: as well. Like as we go through this, you can
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: look at and say, I'll defend Scott Woodward. I'll be
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Againstcott Woodward really dependent on what aisle you said on
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: we'll break all that down. But blaming Woodward for the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Jimbo Fisher buyout, it's a lot like when everyone used
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to say, oh, well, Glenn Dorsey won all those awards
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: his senior year, but his junior year was actually better.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: No, it wasn't.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: His junior year wasn't better, Like, go look at the numbers.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Not only did he make just a bigger impact altogether
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: his senior year, Israel numbers were better as a senior.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: It's just one of those things that someone throws out
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: there and everyone claims that's fact. Governor's dead wrong about that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That was not Jimbo Fisher, that was not Woodward. They
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: gave Jimbo the big extension. Also, Elandra, I need you
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: to do something. I need your next guarantee paycheck check
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and see if we take extra taxes out because Governor
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Landry believes that US taxpayers are actually footing the bill
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: for that fifty four million dollar buyout.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, we got a check.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: I just don't think that's accurate, but I will look
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: it up.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you giving the benefit of the doubt and
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: say it not thinking that's no. Taxpayers are not footing
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the bill for a fifty four million dollars buyout. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: know what he's doing. He's a politician. He's trying to,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of exaggerate things a little bit. Taxpayers
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: are not footing the bill for Brian Kelly or any
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: other head coaches buyout.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: That's not happening.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I do agree with Landry though, that why repeat a
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: failed system. It didn't work with Brian Kelly giving him
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the ten year deal with the big buyout, and blame
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Woodward or not, it didn't work out for Texas A
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: and M with Jimbo Fisher, so I do agree on that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I also appreciate he did put in there. I will
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: not be making the higher do I believe that. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: have no idea. But it's not Jeff Landry and it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: not Scott Woodward. That's what we know for sure. So
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: then that brings up the point should Woodward even be
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: allowed to make this higher? Well, it's his job to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: make this higher, at least for now.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I am not imagine.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: You know, the word is LSU's trying to close it
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: on a university president very soon. I imagine Scott Woodward will
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: be replaced at this point. I don't know how he
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: can continue his job. I mean, the governor of the
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: state of Louisiana came out and said, yeah, we have
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: an athletic director, but uh, we don't trust him. As
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: far as we can throw him, he's gonna have to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: be out here. So I don't really see how Scott
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Woodward continues as a lame duck athletic director after these statements.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So I imagine that's coming. That's literally just an assumption on
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: my part. Do we worry about Scott Woodward making this higher?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Full disclosure. I'd rather Woodward make the higher than Governor Landry. However, yes,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I had some concerns. I feel like a lot of
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: times in football, Scott Woodward targeted the biggest name. I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: gonna make the biggest splash. Maybe didn't look for the
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: best fit. Like everyone wants to bring up Lane Kiffin.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: If you want to hire Lane Kiffin, hire him because
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: he's the best fit. Don't hire him because his name's
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. I think Scott Woodward's been a little guilty
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: of that at times. Now Woodward's taking heat for his
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: football hires, and I get it. You're in the South,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you were at A and M, you were at LSU.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: You're going to get blamed for the success and failure
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: of the football program.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Look at what Jay has done.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, the women's basketball team just won a national
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: championship a few years ago because Scott Woodward hired Kim Moulky.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Now, how hard was it to hire her? I don't know.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people could have hired
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Kim Maulki. But that is a notch on Scott Woodward's belt.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: He gets credit for that. Then you look at Jay Johnson.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: That's the crown jewel there ain't a person in Louisiana
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: has a bad thing to say about Jay Johnson on
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: or off the field. Two Natties in four seasons and
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: he just continues to reloy. Those are two positives you
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: want to bring up a negative LSU basketball Matt McMahon.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: But I will give Scott Woodward a little bit of
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: a pass on this for a number of reasons, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I've been critical of Scott Woodward in the past. At
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: the time, most people liked the higher because Matt McMahon
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: had a really good resume at Murray State. Hand up
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I did. When I saw what he did at Murray State.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: He recruited John Moran, I was like, Okay, this is
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: a guy that could work out. Number two, who was
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: going to take that job? Find me a big name
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: coach that coached at a high level at a big
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: time program that was going to take that LSU job.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: With all the uncertainty around the LSU basketball program. Can't
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: think of one. Number three. LSU's never really invested in basketball.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Like most of the SEC schools, it's football then basketball.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Here at LSU, it's football and baseball. That's why you
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: dominate in baseball and your basketball program has struggled to
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: catch up to those. But even if Matt McMahon turns
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: it around, what Scott Woodard always going to be known for.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Scott Woodard's always going to be known for the guy
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: that fired Will Wade, not the guy that hired Matt McMahon.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: It just is what it is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Wild Wade was a beloved figure, had a lot of
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: support here. So even if Matt McMahon turns this thing around,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the Tigers are at NCAA tournament team this year, he's
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: always going to be looked at more of you got
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: rid of Will Wade not hiring Mad McMahon. Do I
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: care if Scott Woodward makes this higher?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Nope? Do I care if Governor Landry makes his higher?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I'm glad he's not. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: don't care who makes this higher as long as the
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: right person gets the job. What I do care about
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: is your governor getting on TV and embarrassing LSU, because
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: what has been the talk nationally. It hasn't been Oh,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: the LSU coaching higher just got interesting, or oh, it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Scott Woodard's a job on the line. It's everybody retweeting
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: stuff and saying, is this real is this actually happening
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: in the state of Louisiana, Because now, look, I'm sure
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: his intentions were good, because what he brought up it
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: was all I want to help people in Louisiana. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: want to help LSU. I'm sure his intentions were good.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: But what big name head coach is going to want
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: to take this job? Now, what recruit's going to want
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: to come here not knowing who's getting hired or who's
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: even making the higher? Just think more harm was done
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: during the speech than good. And again, I'm sure his
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: intentions were good. I just think it's a bad look
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and I can't get behind it. So who's LSU going
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to hire?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: We don't know.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: But what we do know, Scott Woodward will not be
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the one making that higher. All right, we'll step away
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: here real quick. When we get back, we know it's
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: not Scott Woodward. Who are some candidates that could be
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Le's use the next head coach. We'll dive into that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You know, Lander kind of have the same opinion on
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiff, and we'll go a little bit back and
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: forth on that as well. That's all coming up on

  Speaker 3: I think having an A and an A like beginning
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and into your name, you gotta add it to anything.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: People are asking if I'm with you the dance, I'm
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: doing the dance. Later you gonna make a video.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: We're excited about that. We're excited about that that's done.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: It looks great, yeah, and like it's one of those
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: things that it's like.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, like it works.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I totally should have done. Paul Cap Bruce Willis, I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: just I didn't have time. I just didn't have time.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: We had to cut the grass yesterday. Launder was a
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: big day, Okay, huge tease.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: It a little bit. They were going in to break.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I want to look at some candidates right now for
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the LSU head coaching job, because if Scott Woodward's not
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: making the higher. First off, if you missed the first
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: segment and you missed a lot. Yesterday, Governor Jeff Landry
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: came out and said that Scott Woodward, current athletic director
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: at LSU, we will not be making the hire, will
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: not be involved in the searching process for LSU's next
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: head coach.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I'm a lodger. You know, Florida.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: After Urban Meyer won those two national championships, they struggled
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: to keep coaches long term.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, I may have missed it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Did Governor Ron DeSantis come out and uh publicly criticized
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Scott Strickland.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I have not seen anything of that nature, So I
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: don't think so.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: But I can't say it for a fact. I didn't anything.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think What about What about Pennsylvania? Did
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: their governor come out and criticize them for the James
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Franklin buy out?
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Don't think so?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, So it's just sell us, Okay, cool, great, awesome.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: We were talking about Lane Kiff in a little bit
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: last segment, and I like Lane.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I think that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Lane has grown up a lot more in these past
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: four years. Like if this was four years ago, no,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I'm glad LSU didn't hire him. I don't think he
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: was ready for the LSU job four years ago. This
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: year maybe a little bit of a different story. But
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I just feel like there's so many people out there
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: that are Lane Kiffin or bust. I want Lane Kiffin.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I've locked in on this guy. If we don't get him,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be pissed. I don't think that's the right
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: way to look at anything. Is Lane Kiffin a good coach, Yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: he's a good coach. Are there other good coaches out there? Yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of good candidates. We'll talk about someone
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: here in just a second. But there are so many
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: people out there. When you fall in love with a candidate,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: when you fall in love with a quarterback, a player,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: or anything, it is very easy to only see the
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: positive and kind of block out the negative. Alandra mentioned
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: this the other day, like she didn't really want Lane
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Kiffin as the head coach. Now my stance has have
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: been a little bit more neutral. But also, is Lane
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Kiffin worth the money it's going to take to get
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: him here.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I'll ask you first, Solandra, biggest concern
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: with Lane Kiffin? What is it?
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Well, first, I just want to say I don't think
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: that you can ever really truly know if a coach
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: is going to work out or not until they're actually
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: in the building, so it's kind of hard to speculate.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: But my biggest thing with Lane.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Kiffin is the same thing that everybody says about Brian Kelly,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: about James Franklin, about you know, the typical ones where you're.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Like, they haven't won anything.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: And I get that he's been there for what six
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: years now, six seven years since nineteen right or yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: so whatever, and then he hasn't. I'd get he has
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: them going right now, and he's built a good culture.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: I don't see Lane wanting to leave what he's built
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: at ole Miss unless you're gonna pay him a contract
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: like you paid Brian Kelly or Jimbo Fisher, or maybe
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: even a little less than what you paid them. But
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I just don't know if it's worth the money. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: I said, this is the okame my wildest dreams, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't even say particularly a dream, but I think
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: he's a good coach. With Steve Sarkisian and people lost
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: their minds about that, but are over here suggesting Lane
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Kiffin when I feel like Stark turned that text this
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: program around.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Like two years Sark made the playoff, last year.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: Won the conference.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: He made back to back playoffs, won the conference championship,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: and now was the Big twelve.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: But he still did.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: And I just think that there's a better argument for
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: other coaches than there is for Lane Kiffin.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Again, I think Lane's matured a lot as a coach.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: But on Saturday, I understand it was a win. Some
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: of the decisions really confused me. He goes for it
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: on fourth down in his own territory up early in
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the game, Oklahoma gets a big fourth down stop, they
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: go down the field score. That's giving up points to
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: your opponent. Trinidad Shambliss has been excellent, and credit to
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin for putting him in a position to succeed.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Nobody saw that coming from Shambless. But at the same time,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: you pulled him out two different times and put in
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Austin Simmons, who he's already beaten out inside the ten
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: yard line. You don't score a touchdown either time. I
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: mean that's potentially a double digit swing in that game. Yes,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: they won the game, and look, I like Lane Kiffin.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: If LSU hired Lane Kevin, would I be mad? Absolutely not.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I think Lane Kiffin's a good coach. But there are
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: so many people out there, and I understand every coach
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: you're going to hire, any one of them has some
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: sort of flaw. But there are a lot of people
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: out there that are like Lane Kiffin's a perfect hire.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: He's a slam dunk. There's no such thing as a
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: sure thing and coaching hires or anywhere else in life.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I like Lane Kiffin. There's some other options out there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: But we just listened to the Jeff Landry sound by
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: last segment when he was talking about I don't want
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Scott Woodward making this higher because I don't want to
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: give a huge ten year deal with guaranteed money. Well,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I got news for you. That's probably what it's going
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: to take to get Lane Kiffin here. So I'm not
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: sure Lane Kiffin is going to be the LSU coach
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: for better or worse. Maybe it's a good decision, maybe
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: it's not. It doesn't look like it's going.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: To be him.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of good candidates out there. Like if
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: you asked me, what do you look for in a candidate.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I want a.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Younger guy who could relate to the players, a fiery coach,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: somebody who's hard knows, somebody who has a physical football team,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Somebody I know is going to come in here and
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: work his ass off, and someone who's had success at
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the power level.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: That's what I want.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of names that fit that bill Like
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: first of am up and he was the guy I
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: think I brought up on Monday about like who I
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: wanted as my head coach. Brent Key from Georgia Tech.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: He's been there four years now. His first year he
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: was four and four, but that program was a mess
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: when he took over.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Since then seven and six, seven and six.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: This year, he's eight to no and barring some sort
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: of insane collapse, he's probably going to go to the
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: College Football Playoff and his team is ready to play
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: every single week. It's been one of my biggest criticisms
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: of Brian Kelly, especially in the opening games.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Take Clemson out of it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: But I mean, going back to that game, Clemson wasn't
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: really a good team looking back on it, but it
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: just seemed like every year until this past season opening game,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: LSU was the less physical team and the less prepared team.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I can handle losing a game, because most of the
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: teams you lost to in the opener were pretty good teams.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I can handle losing a football to the game. What
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I can't handle is doing the same thing over and
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: over and over again in big games, looking like the
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: less prepared team, looking like the less physical team. Two
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: things I can tell you about brink keem His teams
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: are prepared and they're physical as hell. The issue is
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: he's probably going to go to the college football playoff
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: and he's at his alma mater. When do you want
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: to hire a coach In a perfect world, just for me,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I want to coach by early signing period that's December third.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: You don't necessarily have to do that, but in a
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: perfect world, that is what I would want. Briank He's
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: not going to leave in a playoff run. He's dang
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: sure not going to leave his alma mater out to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: dry during a playoff run. A lot of people have
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: brought up the name John Sommrall love some are all.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: He has a chance to get to the college football
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: playoffs like it or not, though there are people in
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: this state and affiliated with LSU that are going to
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: turn their nose up at that and say, you can't
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: hire the two lane football coach. It happened back in
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, right before you hired Brian Kelly. Billy
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Napier was a hot name out there. Now woul Napier
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: have worked out, I don't know, because he didn't work
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: out at Florida.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Was that moral?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Napier was that more on Florida's athletic program that I
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: don't think is as good as most people make it
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: out to be. But either way, he was not brought
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: in for an interview. He was not really considered a
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: serious candidate, and most of the pushback was you can't
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: hire the ULL coach. Billy Napier may not be a
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: good coach. But the argument was never he's not a
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: good coach. The argument was he coaches a el up
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: John Somerral at two lane.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I think you're.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Gonna get something similar there, like look credit to somemr All.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: A lot of people have said, okay, well he just
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: kind of maintained what Willy Fritz bought brought there.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I understand that a little bit.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: But he was twelve and two and eleven and two
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: his two seasons at Troy, So you could say Willy
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Fritz built up that program. But John Somerl's done it
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: in two different stops. He lost four games and two
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: years at Troy. He's been at two lane and this
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: is his second year. He was nine to five a
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: year ago. He's six and one and he's got them
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: possibly battling for college football playoff appearance. There's a lot
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: of people out there that are going to turn their
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: nose up at that because of the fact that he
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: could coaches at two lane.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Should you do that? No, will le Be take it
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: into consideration. Probably.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Now Ryan Silverfield at Memphis is out there, But does
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: he suffer from the same thing John Sombral does of
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: maybe it's not a big enough program. You look at
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Ryan Silverfield and what he's done at Memphis. There's a
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: reason Virginia Tech is interested in him. There's a reason
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: a number of other programs are interested in him. He's
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: forty nine and twenty one in six years at Memphis,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: has never had a losing season in his four and
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: zero and bowl games, and right now he's seven and one.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: That's the heck of a football coach. He's a young guy,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: he's a fiery guy. He did a great job in
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the transfer portal. We talked about it when we were
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: ranking our preseason OTB top twenty five that I mean,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: we put the Memphis Tigers in there, and rightfully so,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: he did a great job in the portal.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: So that's a guy you know can attack it.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: But does he suffer from the same thing that some
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: are auld does the It's two names I want to
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: look at, one of which is the name that gets
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: brought up a Lot's Kenny Dillingham. Because again, if I'm
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: putting together, in a perfect world, what I want from
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: my coach, a younger guy that can relate to the players,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: a passionate guy, a guy that's gonna work hard, a
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: guy that has a physical football team. And in a
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: perfect world, it's somebody that could sign by December third
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: and be here for early signing period. Kenny dilly dam
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: checks all his boxes because right now, barring something unforeseen,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: they are not going to be in the College football
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Playoff over there at Arizona State made it last year
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: almost beat Texas, probably should have beat Texas. Now, if
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: you want to criticize him, you can go look and say, yeah,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: he's only been there for three years. He popped last year,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: kind of came back down to earth a little bit
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Two things. One, they lost a ton of guys from
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: that team. Two and two.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Of two of their three losses this year, Sam Levitt
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: was not fully healthy. One he played hurt. One he
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: didn't play at all. So two of your three losses
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: you were basically without your starting quarterback. That's a tough
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: recipe for success for anyone. Look, three and nine is
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: first season, but Herm Edwards left that program at shambles
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: last year eleven and three, this year five and three,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: but again quarterback in and out of the lineup. Kenny
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Dillingham's a guy alike, and you can get him before
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: early signing period. Look, that's just my preference. Don't say,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: why don't we have to have a guy before early
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: signed period?
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: You don't.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: That's just my personal preference.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: If you want to wait for your guy because you
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: think he's the right higher, fine, I'm good with it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: You just better land the guy you're waiting on him.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: But also, Matt Campbell is a name that I don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: think it's brought up enough. Forty five years old. Matt
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Campbell has been a head coach in college for fifteen
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: years between Toledo and Iowa State.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: He's two losing seasons in fifteen years.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: He just won eleven games last year, the only time
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: in Iowa State history that program has won eleven games,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: and they were rolling the first four weeks of the season.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: They lost their two starting corners.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: They're now five and three, but they're still a scrappy
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: football team, not going to make the college football playoff either.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: There are names out there to look at, like Elandra.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Before we go to break, you mentioned your concerns with Kiffen,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: and obviously it doesn't look like it's going to be
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Landing or Kiffin because they don't want to pay the
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: big money that came straight from Governor Landry.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Who do you like?
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I really, I don't have somebody that I'm like, this
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: is who I want to be the next head coach
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: at LSU.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: Like the ones that I do want, I.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Feel like either wouldn't come here because they're at the
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: school that they like.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: Brin Key.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: I love brin Key. I'm not sure he's gonna leave
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: his alma Water. Same thing with Kenny Dillingham.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: I think I like him, I think he's good. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: just don't know if that he would leave Arizona State.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: I really don't have like an answer for you as
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: to who I would want to be because I just
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: with who's out there.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: It's hard for me to choose on one. But if
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: I had to say, Brian Key is the one.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: That I would like, that's the guy, like if if
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I'm in charge of this search and.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Who knows Texas Hainesaw massacre, like he is a dog.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: They're always ready to play. It's something unless you was
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: lacked the last four years. You're not a physical team,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: you're not ready to play. Look, there's a lot of
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: good candidates out there. So I've seen a lot of
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: people freak out and say, we're not going to get
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: a big name. Jeff Landry doesn't want to give a
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: ten year deal. He doesn't want to give it a
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: big contract. Guys, just because a coach is not a
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: quote unquote big name, does not mean they're not a
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: good coach. Less Miles wasn't a huge name. Nick Saban
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: had a huge name. Hell Ed Orgeron was your interim
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: head coach at best your third option because you struck
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: out on Jimbo Fisher and Tom Herman, and he worked
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: out better than both of those guys and brought you
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: a national championship hand up. I didn't want it, or
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: as you're on as the coach. I thought you were
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: better than to hire your interim coach. But you know what,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: it worked out. Sometimes the best fit doesn't always have
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: to be the big name real quick.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Someone that Matt has brought up a lot that I
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: actually would be a fan of. Two just had a
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: big upset win over Miami Jeff rom Over at Louisville.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: I like that one too.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: But then yeah, Alma Mater, Like okay, I didn't know that,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: So why like dumb for me not to no.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: No, no no.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: But I mean he's not going to go to the playoff. Yeah,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: like like a brand key, So he's more gettable when
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I look at Dillingham. Dillingham went to Arizona State. He
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: did not play at Arizona State. Maybe that matters a
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: little bit more.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Now, I will say.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: This, if you offer brin Key, Jeff Brohm, Kenny Dillingham
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the job and they don't want to leave where they're
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: at to come to LSU and potentially win a national championship,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: then you have your answer because they're not the right
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: guy for the job anyways. If they don't want to
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: come here and they're not ready to come here and
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: try to win a national championship, then they weren't right anyways.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Move on because that gives you your answer right there on.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Is this person fit to be the head coach? No,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: because no offense to those schools. If you can't decide
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: between Louisville and LSU, you're not ready to be LSU's
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: head coach. Same can go for Arizona State, same can
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: go for Georgia Tech. So your answers there. Everybody relaxed,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: be calm. There's a lot of good candidates out there,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: and my confidence going to hire the right one. After
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Jeff Andry's comments, I don't know. It would be a
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: lot easier if we actually knew who was making this higher.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately we do not. Just be patient. We'll see where
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: the chips fall, all right, We'll take a quick time
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: out when we get back our guy. Chris Marler on

• 32:23
  Speaker 3: our guy. We'll get into it next hearing. Off the bench,

  Speaker 1: Rougees go to for all things Louisiana's.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Welcome back in hour number one here on a Thursday
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: edition of Off the Bench, Tayler shower with you alongside
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: of Lauandravill Rial, Jacob Hesser and Matt Fleann will be
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: back in the eight o'clock hours, so they'll be here
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: for the last two hours of the show.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: But we are hanging out here with you.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Got about twenty or so minutes until the boys join
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: us back in the studio. Our own Chris Marler at
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Louisianasports dot Net put out his week ten SEC power rankings.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: A lot to like there, like he puts LSU at ten.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Love you, Chris. That might be a little bit too generous, obviously,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Kentucky's at the bottom because well Kentucky sucks.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: But I want to talk about the teams at the top.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: His top four, Vanderbilt, Ole, Mess, Alabama, Texas A and M.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: No problems there. That's clearly the top four. Texas A
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: and M should not be over Alabama. And Chris is
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: in Alabama fans, I'm a little surprised he did this,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: but Texas A and M is a good team. I
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: am not gonna be one of those fans that's gonna
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: come in and try to discredit off and say, my
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: team didn't do anything wrong, but your team's not better
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: than us.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: They came out and beat the crap at LSU at
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: the second half. I've done it two years in a row.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: That's a good football team. We talked about it a
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: little bit going into that game. Their lack of playing
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: in the big games.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: They beat Notre Dame early in the year, but outside
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: of that, their schedule has been a little light and
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: it will continue that way down the stretch. Unfortunately. I
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: think the Alabama Crimson Tide are the best team in
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: the SEC. And I gonna be honest right now, it's not.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Close for me.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Alabama's beaten four ranked SEC teams Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Missouri.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Those teams are a combined twenty five and two against
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: teams not named Alabama. The only two losses Tennessee lost
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: straight up to Georgia, Missouri laws straight up to Vanderbilt.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are we doing here? This team is
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: dominant coming into the year.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: What did we said? Well, if they're gonna struggle at quarterback, because.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Ty Simpson's never done it, Ty Simpson looks like potentially
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: the best quarterback in the country. Oh, they don't have
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: any weapons outside of Ryan Williams. I got news for you, guys.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Ryan Williams not the best receiver on this Alabama team,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: at least not this year. It's Jeremy Bernard. If you
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: haven't watched Alabama, a ton, get used to the name.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: He's number five. They line him up in a number
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: of spots. You can do just about anything on that team.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: He is a weapon, a big time weapon. And he
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: got jam Miller in the backfield. But even when jam
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Miller went down with an injury, you're.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Number two, you're number three.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: They stepped up against a good Vanderbilt team, against a
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: good Missouri team, and they gave you some tough yards
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: because they have a good offensive line players on defense.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Pierre's had a really good year. Justin Jefferson, not that
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, different one. He's having a really good season
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: over there at lineback. Unfortunately, I don't think alabama'sun going anywhere.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Look hand up coming into the year, I thought they
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: were hell. When it was my turn to rank during
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: the OTB Top twenty five, I put Alabama at twelve,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I don't know, this is probably right.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: They're probably the fourth or fifth best team in the SEC.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Now they're the best team in the SEC until proven otherwise.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: I understand they have a loss on the record in Texas.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: A and M.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Doesn't That is not the same Alabama team that played
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Florida State. I don't know what happened in that game.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe Alabama didn't take it serious, Florida State did. Those
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: two teams have trended in completely different directions since Florida
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: State won that game in Alabama lost it. I think
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Alabama is the best team in the SEC. You know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I talked about it a little bit going into that
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: A and M game. Marcel Reidd kind of struggled against
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: quote unquote good defenses. I mean, on the year, he's
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: sixty one seventeen touchdowns, six picks, decent numbers.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: But when you keep.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Marcell Reid in the pocket, he struggles to throw the
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: football downfield. He actually struggled to throw the football downfield
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: against Lshue when they kept him in the pocket. But
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: for better or worse, like Baker is always going to
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: be aggressive on defense, he blitz him. He gets outside
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: the pocket, he takes off and run. He's done two
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: years in a row now. But if you leave Marcel
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Reid in the pocket and forced him to throw the football,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame did this. He completed forty nine percent of
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: his passes. Now give him credit. He made the big
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: time throws at the end of the game to win
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the game. But play in and play out, he struggles
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: with his accuracy from inside the pocket. Ty Simpson, on
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: the other hand, does not. First off, he runs a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: little bit better, actually a lot better than people give
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: him credit for.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: But also.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Almost eighty percent completion this year, sixty seven point eight
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: twenty touchdowns, just one interception. There's not a more efficient
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: quarterback in the SEC right now than Ty Simpson and
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: he's got weapons.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: I mentioned Jeremy Bernard. We know about Ryan Williams.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Horton did a really good job getting him out
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: of the transfer portal. He's been a big time player
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: for this Alabama offense, unfortunately, has a lot of weapons.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: They have a really good quarterback, and they're gonna be
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: a tough out.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Look, we're gonna break down Bama a little bit more
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: obviously next week, as next week is LSU Alabama week.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: But when I look at this team, I just I
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: see a complete football team right now that can obviously change.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: There's ebs and flows in every football season.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, many people were laughing at Alabama Week one
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: after losing to Florida State. I get it, but that's
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: not the same Alabama team then lost to Florida State.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: A laund your best team in the SEC who you got?
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: So I can go either way on it.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: This just like really pains me to say this because
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: we all know I'm not.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: I'm like number one Aggie hater.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Well I thought you, I thought you grew up in
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Texas A and m FAI.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: For sure, I can see what you mean with Alabama,
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: and I do think that Tyson Simpson is probably. I mean,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: there's a Tisman campaign right out there going on right now.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: He's certainly at the top of the Heisman running right now.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: But I'm gonna have to say, I'm gonna have to
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: say Texas A and M just off of the strength
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: to record strength the schedule. I know they have a
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: really easy one coming up, but I feel like the
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: teams that they needed to dominate, aside from maybe Arkansas,
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: they dominated them.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: And I just don't feel the same Forbama except.
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: For the Tennessee game maybe, And I can't think of
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: another one where I was like, okay, like they are
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: completely over here, taking over this field doing this.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: But I'm with you.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: I can go either way on the two, but I
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: just think it's Texas A and M up to this point.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Look, I can go either way. That Alabama Georgia game
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: that was those a little telling for me. They they
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: handled Georgia. That game was not as close as the
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: score should But look it, we're gonna see this Alabama.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: Stage went Alabama Georgia, Alabama Georgia.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna see this Alabama team up close. Okay,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: let me ask you this before we get a break
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: z LSU get the interim bump next week? Early prediction.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Do they get the interim bump.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna be positive and say yes.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Ok, I'm gonna say yes.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Also, our guys are out there. They are, Matt and
• 40:50

  Speaker 3: backbone of the show is, it's not those two slappies
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: that sit up there. It's us back here. We are
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: managing just fine without those guys. But in all seriousness,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: I saw somebody your earlier asked where they were. They're
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: going to speak to the LSU football team this morning.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: They had to do that. I think that's important enough
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: to miss this show.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I think this is a very pivotal time for this
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: LSU football program. So shout out to those guys for
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: going to do that. They'll be back at eight o'clock
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: supposedly we'll see.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's gett mighty close to am.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Odds are odds of them coming back at eight o'clock?
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: What you got?
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I think it's plus right because I asked yesterday after
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Jake was like, hey, we're gonna be back at seven.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: My first response was, are you still dressing up?
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Because you guys aren't gonna be dressed up at LSU.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: Can you imagine?
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: But you're not gonna be speaking to the team dressed
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: like a skeleton. And then Flynn goes, no, we'll do
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: a quick change.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: So not only do they have.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: To leave LSU, they have to get over here, do
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: a quick change, then be back for eight o'clock. It's
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: seven to fifty three. Guys, I don't see it happening.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: I do not see it happening. A couple other things
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: I don't see happening. Landra big name was thrown out there,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: put his hat in the ring. National Championship head coach, Okay,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: can I interest you in Samata what you're on?
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: Maybe in like an analyst role or recruiting or maybe
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: you know what, strength and conditioning.
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't be opposed to that, but as a head coach,
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: I'm good.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: You know what's weird?
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: We did that experiment. I think I'm good on it right.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: And it ran it's course, like thanks for he brought.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: How it all went down at the like I feel
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: like with him and Tommy Moffatt, who I love, and
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: I think he's doing a great job at.
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: Texas A and M.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: I think we're doing a little bit of revisionist history
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: with both of those.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: No, and I appreciate you bringing that up.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Look, everybody that played for Tommy Moffatt said that's his
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: favorite coach.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I thought he got a little stale here.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily bad, but I mean I just I thought
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: he got a little stale here and.
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: He through a health thing, so I get it.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: And he found a spark at A and M and
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: it's back and I would love if he wants.
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: To come here. I would love that.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: And then the coaches for getting a little bit. And
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: it wasn't just him, like Cheran didn't have a spark
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: like nobody on that staff did. And you could say, okay,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: well look at what if a big mistake it is. Look,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: he rejuvenated himself at Texas A and M. Sometimes it
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: takes a change of scenery and you can argue, oh
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Lsu sucks.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Jake Flint's not the guy.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Just because Jake Flint's not the guy doesn't mean that
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: it didn't get a little still here with Tommy Moffatt,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: and I love Tommy Moffatt. I think he's great. I'd
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: welcome him back. Sometimes it takes a little bit of separation.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it takes a little bit of a change of
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: scenery to do something right. Having said that, I think
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: I'll I think i'll pass. I think I'll pass. When
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: the editors we're on, all right, guys, that's going to
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: do it for hour number one? Coming up an hour
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: number two, Well, Jake and Matt scheduled to be back
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: at studio. We may dive into this. Editors're on a
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: little bit more. If they're not back at eight o'clock.
• 46:19

• 46:21
  Speaker 3: gonna have a big dealer no big deal at nine
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: am or Munchie segment at nine pot fifteen. Then we'll
• 46:26
