- 2:38coaching job. Now, I'm not gonna hold Greg Burn to this, but
- 2:40he said yesterday it'll be seventy two hours. I would expect an Alabama coach
- 2:46by the time we go off the air tomorrow at six o'clock. That's what
- 2:49I expect. We'll have Dreudy Arman Tighter Insider three thirty, also ESPN Radio
- 2:54in the Great State of Alabama three thirty to get his thoughts now that the
- 2:58dust had settled. After we got a show, he told me he had
- 3:00like eighty eight miss texts and six miss calls and voicemails. And I can't
- 3:04imagine what that was like over there. Royhaelisparza at four point thirty with my
- 3:07bookie dot Ag Michael Branton, that SEC podcast at five fifteen. We'll talk
- 3:12SEC football, all right. So yesterday betting odds bet Online for the Alabama
- 3:17head coaching job. Dan Lanning was number one at three to one. He's
- 3:22off the board. Dabo Sweeney at four to one. I just I would
- 3:28be blown away if he was the guy. Lane Kiffin five to one,
- 3:30Dion Sanders six to one, kelyn Nebure six to one, Pat Schumer nine
- 3:36to one, of course they got Urban Meyer. You know what's interesting is
- 3:38Mike Norvel's name is getting a lot of run in Florida State. He's at
- 3:42sixteen to one. And if it was in fact Mike norvelle but a lot
- 3:49to get to here. When you look at two four s orc me on
- 3:53three dot com there they're hot board. Mike Norvel was at the top of
- 3:57that thing. Lanning was two. He's off Sark kees In Deboor, Marcus
- 4:00Freeman, Notre Dame, Lane Kiffen, Dion Sanders Colorado, James Franklin,
- 4:05Dabos Swiney, Mike Vrabel, and Dan Quinn. I can't imagine that Alabama
- 4:12would hire dan Quinn. I just some of these I look at and go,
- 4:15no way, no way. I don't know that dan Quinn gets you
- 4:18excited unless you're just looking for somebody to go in and higher and then fire
- 4:21to get that over with. So let's see here. Yeah. John Talty
- 4:28reporting ail dot com seventy two hours that was yesterday. Greg Burn did have
- 4:31this to say, the astute athletics director at Alabama. He says, as
- 4:35we as with any coaching search, our goal is to be thorough but expedient
- 4:41our ideal candidate will be strong in recruiting and relationship building, player development,
- 4:46excels and x's and o's, and have the overall ability to lead this historic
- 4:50program. There will be plenty of rumors out there during this process. Next
- 4:56time I talk publicly, we will we see will be to announce our new
- 5:00coach. If you don't hear from me, don't believe it. Roll Tiede.
- 5:04That is from Greg Burne, the athletics director at the University of Alabama.
- 5:10As matter of fact, I've gotta go ahead and follow him just to
- 5:12make sure I'm getting all his updates too. All Right, So when you
- 5:15look at Nick Saban and you look at the impact that he had not only
- 5:21in the University of Alabama football program, As Connor Townsend said, you know,
- 5:27a lot of times we talk about the the pay that coaches get,
- 5:32and it is extremely high, for sure, But you look at the pay
- 5:36that coaches get. But let me just read you some numbers here and how
- 5:40much of an impact Nick Saban had on the University of Alabama. Obviously,
- 5:44the six national championships, nine SEC championships, two hundred and six and twenty
- 5:49nine career record in seventeen seasons, but financially it's a little bit even crazier.
- 5:54The quote fluty effect is when athletic accomplishments increase exposure and eventually enrollment.
- 6:00That happened, and you can go across the board. Look, Eli Manning
- 6:04comes to Ole, miss Ole, miss Over the course of the four years,
- 6:08their enrollment went up. Dak Prescott, same thing, Missippi State.
- 6:14There is, believe it or not, a direct correlation to that, and
- 6:17no one did it bigger than the saving Nick Saban arrived in two thousand and
- 6:20seven, Alabama's enrollment increased from twenty five thousand to forty thousand students. That's
- 6:27a sixty percent jump compared to a ten percent national average. So the national
- 6:31average from two thousand and seven forward to today was ten percent. Bama's jumped
- 6:40sixty percent. But the hype or sum mean type of students matter as well.
- 6:46Alabama went from the majority of its student body consisting of in state students
- 6:49to the majority now being out of state students. That is important because these
- 6:55students pay three times more an annual tuition, and you people know that to
- 7:00do the whole college deal, if you go out of state, it's gonna
- 7:01be a lot more thirty two thousand versus eleven thousand in annual tuition, and
- 7:05it means Alabama increased its annual revenue by hundreds of millions under Saban Alabama paid.
- 7:13Now, you'll find very few people on the academic road that will give
- 7:15him credit for this, but I think it's pretty evident. Alabama paid him
- 7:21one hundred and thirty million over sixteen seasons, but you could argue he's worth
- 7:26one billion dollars. Nick Saban is the best investment in the University of Alabama
- 7:30ever made. And that's that was said by Robert Witt, Alabama Chancellor said
- 7:36he was the best investment that the university ever made. Biebe, I know
- 7:41you're working over there, but I have a walk on pamphlet for the university
- 7:46the Ohio State Buckeyes if you want it. Ohio State is accepting walk on
- 7:51tryalts right now. To be eligible to try out, you must have completed
- 7:57the following enrolled in an OSSU main campus on the main campus as a full
- 8:03time student, will a class scheduled in a cumultive GPA printed to verify enrolled
- 8:09in the NCAA Eligibility Center, have a physical completed with the last six months.
- 8:13Within the last six months, along with the sickle cell trait tests and
- 8:18results hard copy of your both completed tryout paperwork. There will be an interest
- 8:24meeting on Thursday, February first at five pm at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center
- 8:28that will serve as a deadline to submit all paperwork. If you cannot submit
- 8:33or attend the meeting, you will not be permitted to try out. So
- 8:37more bully b e any of you guys that want to give college football a
- 8:41try. Ohio State's taking tryouts, and of course this morning the trifecta hit.
- 8:46Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are expected to part ways today after
- 8:50remarkable twenty four seasons together, ending an unmatched run in NFL history that included
- 8:56six Super Bowl titles. League sources to Mike Reese and of course that is
- 9:01from Adam Schefter as well. So you have in a matter of just days,
- 9:09Pete Carroll out at Seattle, Nick Saban out and Alabama, and now
- 9:15Belichick out for the New England Patriots. And again Dan Lanning announced earlier today
- 9:22he will remain at Oregon, so he is not wanting any of the Alabama
- 9:28smoking. I don't really blame him. I mean, he's in a really
- 9:30good program at Oregon. He's doing really big things for that program. They're
- 9:35moving into a new conference, into the Big Ten next year. He's got
- 9:37a good roster coming back again. You got to know, you know,
- 9:41kind of the old Kenny Rodgers way. You got to know when to hold
- 9:43him, so to speak. Courtesy of Clay Travis OutKick. Alabama won one
- 9:46national title from nineteen eighty to two thousand and nine. Maybe they make an
- 9:52incredible hire to replace Nick Saban and keep rowling, But after Bear Bryant,
- 9:56they spent three decades in mediocrity. Saban was the goat, but I think
- 10:01it was more about him than than Alabama. And that's the thing we were
- 10:05talking about yesterday, is it will be interesting to see where Alabama goes from
- 10:09here and then how that success translates forward. I don't think you're gonna see
- 10:16a run of two three titles, three out of the next five, three
- 10:20out of the next set. I don't think it's gonna happen. That doesn't
- 10:22mean that if they're gonna be garbage either. It's just it's very interesting to
- 10:28Uh, it's gonna be fun to watch and see how that looks moving forward.
- 10:30And as we get ready to go to break, ESPN made Pat pat
- 10:33McAfee dump Aaron Rodgers yesterday as a guest for the rest of football season,
- 10:37and now they just took his show off earlier today after Bill Belichick retired.
- 10:43And you're talking about a guy who's got a football show. Saban and Belichick
- 10:48retire and his show is taken off. It looks like the quote long knives
- 10:52are out at ESPN for Pat McAfee. We're brought to you by BCI.

- 12:15What's going on with Alabama? You can text A six or one eight eight
- 12:16five three seven seven six. I got to get into this story Beaver threw
- 12:20in front of you that had not seen ESPN operated thirteen year Emmy scheme using
- 12:26fake names to get awards or top for top talent. Isn't that They're no
- 12:33Emmy scheme? So this is for Emmys or espi's Emmys. Okay, so
- 12:39we'll get into that. What do you think about Pat McAfee being pulled off
- 12:41the air today? What was it just a Why was that connected to saving
- 12:50and Bellini? Well, just indirectly. Belichick retires yesterday. This is courtesy
- 12:56of Travison OutKick that he was off the air today. They did not put
- 13:00his show on but just Belichick, you today, Sabing yesterday, and the
- 13:05big mean Well, first off, who would have ever thought that those two
- 13:07would have retired within twenty four hours of each other. Isn't that weird?
- 13:11It's almost like it was planned well for the second day in a row.
- 13:16Let's go back yesterday because possum neck Joe, remember he said he broke the
- 13:22Sabin stuff. Because he's the one that said Sabin bought a house wherever.
- 13:26He said he bought a house, and he's gonna go fishing with Belichick,
- 13:33So that was also a possum neck Joe. He put Belichick in that same
- 13:39sentence. So did he call both of these things? I think he kind
- 13:43of did. Here's what's interesting about that. Is Joe really impossumnick and his
- 13:48name really Joe? Or is he kind of somehow tied to these two that
- 13:52we don't know about. I mean, look, if ESPN has given fake
- 13:56names, this person might be too. Maybe it's not Joe, because what
- 14:03ESPN did is they took the initials of their certain hosts and used them.
- 14:09So I know possum neck Joe is in his government name, but let's just
- 14:15say it was p j. Then he's put He's just that's a creed,
- 14:20that's a what do you like to say? How do you how do you
- 14:22say that word suato, which in the real world it's pseudo pseudonym, but
- 14:30in my word of sweto swato. So Joe, who are you really?
- 14:33It's his name? Maybe Patrick Jenkins or something like that. Oh High State
- 14:39wide receiver Marvin Harrison has declared for the NFL Draft. So who is the
- 14:43best coaching college football? Now that whole list is gonna change, right,
- 14:46I mean, it gets kind of thrown upside down. Who is it?
- 14:50Beab? Is it Kirby Smart? Is it Jim Harball? Well, Jim
- 14:52Harball hasn't left college football yet, is it Brian Kelly, Caleb de Bure,
- 14:58dabos went A Devo, Ryan Day, Steve Sarkisian, Mike Norvell,
- 15:03Lane Kivitt. Who's the best coaching football is? As smart? I think
- 15:05it has to be smart, Sparky check your story. Belichick press conference was
- 15:13at eleven. They showed the press conference and then McAfee show was on after
- 15:16that. Hey, I'm just reporting what's out there on X. It's all
- 15:22I'm reporting from a reputable news source. That's all. That's all all right,
- 15:28moving forward? Shall we where did that there? It is so Charlie
- 15:33Baker, the astute NCAA president, does not quote regret his unusual decision to
- 15:39alert the Big Ten to the Michigan sign stealing inquiry and believes it indirectly helped
- 15:46legitimize the Wolverine's title. Quote. No one believes at this point that Michigan
- 15:50didn't win the national title fair and square. So for the NCAA president to
- 15:54say that all of you wishing that Michigan gets their title taken away, I
- 16:00don't know that it's going to happen. All right, Beaver, your childhood
- 16:03is over you. Let me tell you why. I know. Listen to
- 16:07these lists of coaches that are gone now. David Shaw, who coached at
- 16:12Stanford, is no longer coaching. Chris Peterson, Boise State gone, Bill
- 16:18Snyder, Kansas State gone, Less Miles gone, Frank Beamer gone, Lloyd
- 16:23Carr gone, Spurrier gone, Bob Stoops gone, Coach O gone, jimbo
- 16:30out, Tressel done, Urban gone, Carol Don and Saban. Think about
- 16:36how much college football has changed over the last ten to fifteen years. All
- 16:40those names. If you're forty and up are no longer coaching and interesting deal
- 16:48here. I don't know if you follow NFL memes on x SO remember yesterday
- 16:52you were railing on Chicago for sticking with Matt Eberfluss. Well, think about
- 16:56this. Belichick is available, Pete Carroll's available, what's his face from Tennessee
- 17:03is available, and Jim Harball is available, and they stay with eber Fluss.
- 17:08That is that is an amazing, amazing deal. And three of Nick
- 17:14Saban's final or no, yeah, three of Nick Sabans final four losses at
- 17:17Alabama happened on the last play of the game. Lost to Tennessee last year
- 17:21fifty two to forty nine, lost to LSU thirty two to thirty one,
- 17:26and then Michigan and that was an overtime, by the way, and then
- 17:29Michigan twenty seven to twenty in overtime and staut of the day from Adam Schefter.
- 17:34Under Nick Saban, Alabama had more players drafted in the first round forty
- 17:37four than it had losses. At twenty nine, they had forty four guys
- 17:44and uh drafted and only twenty nine losses six one, eight, eight,
- 17:48five, three, seven, seven six. That is the Cowboy Maloney's text
- 17:52ligne, So who's going to be Dan Lanning out bee? Who's gonna be
- 17:53the next coach? Are we with? Is Mike Norvell really a candidate?
- 17:59His name has been floated out there a lot. Or is it Lane Kiffin
- 18:03or is it Steve Sarkisian or is it somebody else? And I haven't seen
- 18:11a ton of attrition so far at Alabama. Greg McElroy gives zero percent chance
- 18:15for Dabos twenty or Lane Kiffin to land the Alabama job. He says zero
- 18:21percent chance. Now we'll talk with Drudy Armin in the next segment. He
- 18:26has died in as anybody in that Alabama program. Harrison off to the NFL
- 18:32Quinn Viewers has announced officially he will return to Texas next year. And let's
- 18:38see here, let's see you here looking through this thirty day transfer window.
- 18:45Notes their third string is better than some Power five starters. Pete Nakos expects
- 18:48Alabama to at least potentially get rated. Let's go to Gator Matt Matt Happy
- 18:53Thursday. I don't know what direct this thing's gonna go in. I really
- 19:02don't. But Dan Handing, I mean the guy coach a year and a
- 19:04half. Do you really think he's ready for that? For that Alabama job
- 19:10and the love affair with Mike Norvel Jake, Florida State could not afford to
- 19:18buy him out. That's why he's still there. People forget these things,
- 19:23but no, not Gator Matt. I remember it all they I mean,
- 19:27you know it. They could. They wanted to get rid of them,
- 19:32and he got lucky on quarterback and then he got lucky on some transfers because
- 19:37nobody really thought these guys were on be that good. I think he's extremely
- 19:42over I mean, do you agree. I don't know that he's extreme.
- 19:47You just in love with Norvel all of a sudden. I'm not in love
- 19:51with him. I think he's a good look. I think he has done
- 19:52a good job of last eighteen months with a transfer portal. And you're right,
- 19:56he made some good decisions on some players. They were really good before
- 20:02Jordan Travis got hurt. He wouldn't and they were horrible before Jordan's Travis.
- 20:08Yeah, they weren't that good. They weren't now they wanted to run him
- 20:11out, but they had already paid off. They get you were paying Willie
- 20:17Taggart and they don't want to play this loser and they got lucky. But
- 20:22whatever Balabama wants to take them, I don't know that he's gonna be to
- 20:26get Alabama's I I and I'm not sure this too. Board guys, really,
- 20:30I mean, is that who you want? I guess he's more of
- 20:33a proven but then again, then you're looking at who's the guy that was
- 20:37just st Aubun and they ran out, you know, the guy from Boys
- 20:41of State, or you gonna have the same situation that you had with that
- 20:44guy. I mean, I don't know. I think you gotta go.
- 20:48People don't want to hear this. I think you go get Brian Killy.
- 20:53Now. I just I know that half your audience just choked on the corn
- 20:59dogs thre eating when I said that. But I think you go get Brian
- 21:03Kelly because I think the guy, as much as I hate to admit it,
- 21:06he's a proven winner. He has a system that works, and he
- 21:11has gotten more familiar with the SEC and LSU fans. You don't want to
- 21:15hear this, but Alabama's a better job and it's set up to win.
- 21:19Right now, LSU's not winning anything for the next two or three years now
- 21:23he's building something they could but he could go to LSU and win next year
- 21:29a national title, and I think it could be sustainable because he's what ten
- 21:33years younger than Saban. I think that's who you get. You don't get
- 21:36him, then you go get kiffing. But even with that guy, you
- 21:40know, I don't know. Talk to you later, man, see your
- 21:41brother. Appreciate a good call as always. Six O one eight eight nine

- 23:07please believe that Louis luggage talk would be non existent. They aren't ready for
- 23:12the show over in Tuscaloosa. So uh yeah, yeah, I'm not sure
- 23:18about that. We'll see. What's interesting is, you know the Mike Norvell
- 23:22talk as uh, I'm trying to see you remember who said this on X
- 23:27this morning? I believe it was Brad Crawford. Yeah, so he says,
- 23:36who says no to this if Mike Norvelle goes to Alabama, I could
- 23:42see Dion Sanders going to Florida State, no doubt about it. And he
- 23:48says coach Brian in Florida State of Alabama against Mike Norvale, who says,
- 23:52no, I don't know that many people will disagree with that. I mean,
- 23:56because there's certain fits for certain guys, and I would think if Norvale
- 24:00is a legitimate candidate and he ends up being the guy that Sanders could go
- 24:06there. Sanders could go there. All right. So we've got college football
- 24:11final rankings, Michigan number one all the way to the bottom. We'll get
- 24:14to that a little bit later, Alabama coaching candidates, and some other opinions
- 24:18from some national guys. Also the twenty twenty four NFL playoff bracket projections from
- 24:25the computers, and then the top ten all time NFL coaches, where Bill
- 24:27Belichick is placed among some of the NFL scholars. Let's got a tide man
- 24:33tied man. Happy Thursday, Yes, good afternoon. Yeah, Chris crazy
- 24:38because don't even have time to to grie even more because we got a next
- 24:45man up type of thing going here. I wanted to get y'all's thoughts.
- 24:49I think Dan Lanning was scared to death. He didn't want to be any
- 24:53He didn't want to come in and be the guy after the guy he knows,
- 24:57the saying goes. I'm kind of hoping for Lane Kiffen. I did
- 25:03it five years ago. I wouldn't want it, would not have wanted any
- 25:07part of him. But I think he is really matured. I don't trust
- 25:12people outside of the SEC. You know, Lane Kiffen knows the SEC,
- 25:18he knows the Bama culture, he knows Nick Saban. He also is knows
- 25:26the new game with the nil on the transfer portal, he knows how to
- 25:30work that. And I think he's just cocky enough to not worry about being
- 25:36the guy after guy. But then I heard you guys saying that. Greg
- 25:41McElroy said that there was no way that it would be Kippen. So I
- 25:45certainly trust Greg McElroy as much as anybody out there. So I guess maybe
- 25:52Kippen is not going to be be the guy. I don't know. That's
- 25:55just my take on it. There's no there's like I was tunk to Beaver,
- 26:00There's nobody. It's going to be a disappointment. Whoever you hired because,
- 26:06as Baber said, he can't replace the Goat. He just can't do
- 26:10it. But I think Kiffen would just make sense to me from a cultural
- 26:15standpoint. Young enough, you know, great recruiter doing he's doing at Ole,
- 26:19Miss knows sec No. Saban knows the Bama's standard, those expectations,
- 26:26clucky enough to come in there with the swagger and not be intimidated to follow
- 26:30the goat. That's my two cents on it. I want to get you
- 26:32all thoughts on it, but one last thing, just I'm just full of
- 26:36gratitude. Everything Nick Saban did for us is greatest dynasty in the history of
- 26:41sports, next to Michael Gordon what he did. Roll tiede, You'll have
- 26:45a great afternoon. Thanks time man, Rod Tip. Yeah. Look,
- 26:48I can't imagine you may get one guy a couple that are aggravated with Nick
- 26:56Saban. I think most people are going to be very complimentary, very appreciative
- 27:03of what is going on. Uh with Nick Saban. We're got okay,
- 27:07So Judy Armon has called us back. So but since we're so close to

- 28:18dot com, Drew, thank you so much for taking some time. I
- 28:22know that you may not have even slept last night. How are you well?
- 28:26I managed to get two and a half to three hours, Jake,
- 28:30which I think was a big tree. I know I was texting with you
- 28:33yesterday. I appreciate you taking the time to you know, have me on
- 28:37the show. You know, I'll just say this, I had to plug
- 28:41the phone up again, so I apologize for that for the delay, but
- 28:45needless to say, you know, I haven't had to cover a coaching search
- 28:48at Alabama football license. I got in the business ten years ago, and
- 28:53now I remember when I was outside of business and how much I hated a
- 28:57football coaching search, and I still that it is what it is. Well,
- 29:02let me ask you this, did you were you guys tipped off before
- 29:03you? I mean yesterday, you know, we took a break and I
- 29:07got a text that said check Twitter now, and Beaver did my producer,
- 29:11and then of course it just hit us right on the air, and it
- 29:12was extremely weird and wow, you know, I mean, you knew it
- 29:15was coming at some point, but just kind of to have to talk about
- 29:18it in real time, it was very very odd, you know, just
- 29:22very nostalgic. Did you guys know about this or were you guys a surprise.
- 29:29Here's what I was told yesterday. I got a text about two o'clock
- 29:33from one of my best sources. He told me an assistant coach was leaving
- 29:36to go to Georgia. Had I heard about it? And I said no,
- 29:38And I said, but I can't believe that would happen. You know,
- 29:42I figure he was he was up for a promotion, he'd been heavily
- 29:47involved in recruiting, and I just was like, that wouldn't be good at
- 29:51all. And then you know, I, as we were talking, Bo
- 29:56Davis went to LSU and then I told the source said, I'm not surprised
- 30:00he didn't hire a bone. He said, well, he tried. But
- 30:04you know they're they're they're using his age against him. They're wondering if he's
- 30:10going to retire in one or two years. And Savian was having trouble retaining
- 30:12assistance, you know, hiring who he wanted because of his age. Ni
- 30:19l the transfer portal. He had adapted to that, but it's still an
- 30:22ongoing situation. As you know, it's open ended. We've talked to you
- 30:26about that on our show, with what Old miss and Missippi State are doing,
- 30:30especially the rebels. So there's just no there's just absolutely no guardrails on
- 30:34it. And I think, as coach Savin told Rhys Davis Chris Low today,
- 30:40if it's a lot harder to do now when he's seventy two than it
- 30:42was when he was sixty two. And I think I was told yesterday around
- 30:47two it's like he was growing frustrated with being able to not being able to
- 30:51fill out his staff. He was frustrated with how recruiting ended, and I
- 30:55know that sounds absurd because they finished number two, but he wasn't happy that
- 30:59they only had eight scholarship offensive linemen for spring, that McLoughlin transferred, and
- 31:04that you know, they didn't sign some offensive tackles that he would have liked
- 31:07to have signed out of the high school rank. I just think that I
- 31:11think overall is just being tired and it's a lot it's such a hard job
- 31:17to stay so fully involved, not take a CEO role and run the organization
- 31:22the way he wants to and I just think he felt like, you know,
- 31:26it wasn't It wasn't. And I think they, I just say this
- 31:29on your show, the powers that be, the board of trustees, the
- 31:33athletic director, they were on alert. They knew this could happen. They
- 31:36weren't one hundred percent sure it would. But I think he just grew tired.
- 31:40You probably read what was said today that he was still working. Thirty
- 31:44minutes before he decided to retire. He interviewed a wide receivers coach candidate and
- 31:48then just said I'm done. I'm retiring, and I'll just tell you that
- 31:52I knew about the four o'clock meeting, but they have it every year.
- 31:56The first thing we were told is that it was just going to be to
- 31:59set to ago the off season program in spring, just like they do every
- 32:01year under him, and that he wasn't going to retire. Did he walked
- 32:06into the room and told the team he was retiring. The coaches and the
- 32:08players had no idea, so to say, it was a little surprising.
- 32:12Yesterday, Jake, I would say, yes, Drew Dearman on your radio
- 32:15talking Nick Saban Alabama out at Alabama, and of course now a coaching search
- 32:22is underway. We'll get to that in just a bit. So, Drew,
- 32:23you know, I don't even know how you quantify, you know.
- 32:25I mean, you look at the numbers for Nick Saban, you look at
- 32:29the the national championships, the SEC titles, you know, just the way
- 32:32that he transformed this league, the way he transformed the University of Alabama.
- 32:37And look that that was hard to do it to begin with, with all
- 32:40the history and everything that goes with the Crimson Tide. But just in a
- 32:45couple of minutes before we talk coaching search, just to kind of put your
- 32:47arms around what he has meant to Tuscaloosa in the university. Well, I
- 32:52was quite like this when I was a kid, Jake. I was a
- 32:57kid of the eighties and the nineties. Most people thought Notre Dame was the
- 33:01most tradition rich program in college football history. They won a national championship when
- 33:07I was in middle school in nineteen eighty eight. They nearly want it again
- 33:10in ninety three when I was about to graduate high school. Since that time,
- 33:15Notre Dame has only come close twice, and Alabama smashed them both times.
- 33:21And when you look at what Nick Saban has done with four Heisman Trophy
- 33:24winners, six national championships, and he could have won ten very easily.
- 33:30Jay in seventeen years. What he's done is he has established Alabama football as
- 33:37the greatest programmed historically in history. And it's not close. I mean,
- 33:40Georgia's had a great run lately, Clemson had moments in the sun. But
- 33:45I'm just talking about when you stack the history together from the nineteen twenties Rose
- 33:51Bowls all the way to now, it's like I told somebody yesterday, he
- 33:54took a sledgehammer and smashed Notre Dame. Okay, Notre Dame. It's been
- 34:00it's a creeping up to forty years since they've won a national championship. He
- 34:05won six at Alabama and almost won ten. To me, what he did
- 34:08historically is he had the greatest run in history for a seventeen year period.
- 34:15And because of what he did, when you stack it with coach Bryant,
- 34:19when you stack it with Gene Stallings, you know, coach Wade, coach
- 34:22Thomas, Alabama football is the greatest program in history. And I don't think
- 34:25it's close because I just think when you look at the national championships they've won
- 34:30and then they've almost won. Nobody compares to what Alabama has done historically now
- 34:35and a lot of that's because of Nick Saban and all these coaches making you
- 34:38know, eleven twelve million dollars a year, ten million dollars a year,
- 34:42you know, your lowest paid coach in the SEC making three to four million.
- 34:45You can you can all thank Nick Saban. Then you can also thank
- 34:49him for the SEC network because as you said, he revolutionized the game.
- 34:53I don't think anybody's going to disagree with anything that you just said. Drew
- 34:57de Armanchawk and Nick Saban, Thursday edition of the program. So Dan Lanning
- 35:00has taken his name out of the hat. And of course you hear Mike
- 35:05Norveale today, you hear Lane Kiffin, you hear Kaylen Debure, Washington,
- 35:08Steve Sarkesian. Any guesses on a short list is that the short list is
- 35:14there? Somebody when I'm thinking of you know, you look at Greg Burne.
- 35:17He said seventy two hour window, and I'm paraphrasing, we're gonna button
- 35:22this thing up, or feel like they'll have it buttoned up. I saw
- 35:22John Talty put that out there on X. Your thoughts on who it might
- 35:27be, Well, I'll just say this, I had a list of my
- 35:32own. I was hearing a lot of vibes, strong ones with Dan Lanning
- 35:37yesterday and I thought strongly it might be him. It turned out it was
- 35:40not. And you know, you're never right in this deal all the time.
- 35:45Of course, it's almost like chasing ghosts. But I'll just give you
- 35:50a list of top of four guys, and I don't think it'll get off
- 35:53of that list. I think you know Dan Lanning was on that list.
- 35:58He's now out. You just said that, Jake. But I think the
- 36:00other three on that list Demiko Ryans, even though the timeline doesn't really fit,
- 36:07Steve Sarkisian, and Caitlin de Boor. I don't think it comes off
- 36:13of those. I don't think it's going to be Mike Norvel, no disrespect.
- 36:16I think he's done a great job at Florida State because I think if
- 36:20it was Mike Norvel, it would already be done because FSU his buyout is
- 36:24four million. You know the turmoil they're having with the ACC. I think
- 36:29he would jump at the chance to come to Alabama. But Steve Sarkisian,
- 36:32he's got He's in talks to get an extension with Texas that could get a
- 36:37little sticky. His wife loves Austin, so there's no guarantees there. But
- 36:42I really think when you look at it, Demiko is a Bama guy.
- 36:45I know he's just in his first year as an NFL head coach, and
- 36:47again the timelines are really iffy because of the playoffs and the portal and the
- 36:52portal being open. But I really think, based on what I've heard,
- 36:57that those were the four guys that I believe we're strongly under consideration planning never
- 37:02got offered the job. So to me, it's gonna come from one of
- 37:07those three with Kaylin de Bor, Steve Starkejhan and Demiko Ryans. And I
- 37:12think Alabama will have a head coach by tomorrow. And so if what you're
- 37:16saying is the gospel, which typically you're on the money when it comes to
- 37:19Alabama and the sec Ole Miss fans should be a static it's not likely Lane
- 37:23Kiffen, I don't think so. I very seriously doubt it's Lane Tiffin.
- 37:30I've never thought it would be. I'll just say this, lame's done a
- 37:34great job at Old Miss. There's no question about that. He's had two
- 37:37ten plus wins seasons, one of a school record eleven wins this year.
- 37:42But I'll also say his tenure at Alabama didn't end well with Nick Saban.
- 37:46And Nick Saban is still going to be around the building. He's still gonna
- 37:50have his office, He's still gonna be involved, definitely with keeping this roster
- 37:54together. I think that Nick Saban has a better relationship with Sarks than he
- 37:59does Kiffin. I know Kiffin respects him, Kiffin always pays homage to him,
- 38:05But I just i'ught just say this, during a seventeen year run,
- 38:08Lane Kiffin is the only assistant coach that didn't finish the season. Wow.
- 38:15Not all of that was because he just he had taken another job at FAU
- 38:20Okay. And then all I'll say is when he removed Lane Kiffin after the
- 38:24Washington win in twenty sixteen, who took over his OC Yeah, I was
- 38:30sorry, Steve Sukus. So I just don't think I know Lane impressing people
- 38:36when he was in Tuscaloosa, but I don't think he impressed enough people.
- 38:39And I'll just say this too, Lane Kiffin would jump at the chance to
- 38:44go to Tuscalesa's why he didn't go to Auburn last year in my opinion.
- 38:47But I just don't think he's going to get this job. I think he
- 38:51wants the job. I think if he wanted it, it would have already
- 38:53been done. But I just don't think he's going to be the Alabama coach.
- 38:58I've never thought he was going to People that I trust don't think so.
- 39:01And I just think overall, when it comes down to it, the
- 39:05three guys I mentioned Kayalen Debor, Steve Starkesian Demiko Rance, I think it's
- 39:09going to come from those three now that Dan Lanning is officially out. Really
- 39:14really good stuff. Drew y Armen on your radio, Drew d nine seven

- 39:30you, absolutely appreciate it. Drew d de Armon on your radio talking uh
- 39:35Nick Saban what he means or you know will mean and continues to mean,
- 39:37and we'll in the future to college football in Alabama. Demiko Ryan heard that
- 39:42name this morning too. Houston Texans head football coach, Alabama guy Caitlin Debure,
- 39:50Washington head football coach, Steve Sarkejhan Texas football coach. Out of those
- 39:55three, who's going to be beef? You have your hashtag RTR shirt on.
- 40:00Is it gonna be Demico? Is he gonna leave the NFL to come
- 40:04back to his alma Manter Debure? And will he bring Will Rogers to Alabama
- 40:10or Will Sark bring Manning Arch Manning to Tuscaloosa? Because all of that is
- 40:20possible. Remember if Debure or Sark leave, the transfer portal opens for thirty
- 40:27days at those programs, U Mississippi State fans would be m is. I
- 40:36mean, I would never have seen you as Matt Is. If Will Rogers
- 40:38and Calen Debure show up in Tuscaloosa or Arch Manning and Steve Sarkeesian or miss
- 40:49fans wouldn't be happy either. Back in a bit, Spigens Jackson from college

- 42:21Friday Tomorrow. Spars are coming up at four thirty, Michael Bratton coming up
- 42:24at five fifteen. That SEC podcast. All right, So Drew, who
- 42:30is as tied in with anybody as anybody over there with that program, he
- 42:31says, Hey, look, it's not going to be Lane Kiffin. Kiffin
- 42:36is going to stay at all. Miss Kevin wants the job, but he's
- 42:38not going to get the job. So that should make if it's not Kiffin,
- 42:43then let's just assume it's not. I mean, Greg McElroy said zero
- 42:45percent chance not gonna be Kiffing. And if trying to call Beaver just walked
- 42:50out, He'll be back in in just a second. He's multitasking here for
- 42:52that has been for the last ten minutes, so taking care of some other
- 42:55stuff in here, he says, Dmko Ryan, Kaylen Debure or Steve Sarkesian.
- 43:06I am going to take a guess that it's gonna be Kaylen Debure.
- 43:13I don't know. You know, Steve Sarkisian's got a great thing going in
- 43:16Texas. I don't know that Damiico Ryan is Look Demiko Ryan, He's an
- 43:21Alabama guy. He's done a wonderful job with Houston Texans. Does he want
- 43:25to leave the NFL that quickly and with you know the playoffs and the window
- 43:30and you know the transfer portal? Does it? I mean, does it
- 43:34line up for him? I think it's gonna be Debure personally. I think
- 43:38that's who it's going to be. You look at a guy who is the
- 43:43hottest, you know, one of the hottest names in football right now.
- 43:46This is a guy that uh is twenty five and three at Washington. They
- 43:52just played for a national championship. You know, you look at his coaching
- 43:55career, so falls Iowa, he was Washington head coach, or Skimmy Washington
- 44:01high school assistant and then this is all back in the eighties and nineties,
- 44:07or Shimi the nineties, then Southern Illinois o C wide receiver coach. I
- 44:13mean he's made the climb, very similar to a lot of these guys like
- 44:15Urban Meyer, Nick Saban. I mean, he has made that climb.
- 44:20He's one hundred and four and twelve as a head football coach. Now,
- 44:27yeah, Innaia, he won three NAI championships two thousand and six, eight
- 44:30and nine, four GPAC championships two thousand and six to nine, and a
- 44:36Pack twelve championship this past year in their last year. So what's interesting about
- 44:43this is Jalen Milroe. Look, it doesn't matter if it's Jamiico Ryans,
- 44:51Kaitlyn Debure, especially if Debire's and Steve Sarkisian Milroe will not be the starting
- 44:58quarterback in Alabama. And there's already rumblings that he's going to hit the portal.
- 45:02So what happens? I think because of the way the transfer portal,
- 45:07and you laugh at me all you want, but I am telling you on
- 45:12the eleventh day of January, if it's Steve Sarkeesian, and I don't think
- 45:17it's gonna be arch Manning will be in Tuscaloosa because remember, and you may
- 45:23say, how well the transfer portal. When to coach leaves, the transfer
- 45:28portal window opens, just like it is at Alabama for thirty days, so
- 45:30those guys have an opportunity to get out of there. If it's Steve Sarkisian,
- 45:36it's going to be arch Manning, and you laugh at this all you
- 45:39want. If it's Kaitlyn de Bior, it's gonna be Will Rogers because that's
- 45:45who he wanted at Washington. Will Rodgers will come back this way. Not
- 45:49everybody telling me this, but this is what I feel. Six hour one
- 45:54eight eight, five, three, seven seven six. If you're trying to
- 45:57call beep, will be back here in just a second. Sorry about that.
- 45:59I can't do everything. So we'll have Rufields spars at four thirty.
- 46:02Michael Branton coming up at five fifteen. We've got some stuff on the NFL
- 46:05to get into. On Bill Belichick and what he means to the NFL.
- 46:12What maybe next is they're going to be a next for him? As we
- 46:15move along, let me check the and Drew says he thinks it's going to
- 46:20be about tomorrow afternoon. He thinks Alabama will have a quarterback or school quarterback,
- 46:23a coach. Excuse me, by tomorrow, Miko on the Cowboy Malooney's
- 46:29text line, what do you think Bama would have their guy already? I'm
- 46:32sure they weren't caught off guard by this. Well, it depends on you
- 46:37know, and we'll never really know this. I mean, you know what
- 46:39Drew was saying is, hey, look Savan was working up until thirty minutes
- 46:44and then he just went in there and did it. And I could see
- 46:47that happening. I am sure though Greg Burn has a short list and had
- 46:51a short list, and you know, there's no I mean, maybe they
- 46:53were preparing for this but didn't know when it was going to happen. Tiger
- 46:57David Brian Kelly is the best coach in the country. You could make a
- 47:01case for that. Brian Kelly's really good. There's no doubt about it,
- 47:07really really really good. I just don't know that Brian Kelly would want to
- 47:12follow Nick save it either again, you're gonna have to have a guy that
- 47:17doesn't have a whole lot to lose and does it, you know, and
- 47:22you take a guy like Kayla Nubuer Washington, He's climbed this ladder all the
- 47:25way. He'd be a guy that would probably take it. Me like,
- 47:29look, man, I have done that. I have worked from the bottom,
- 47:30and I am quote here, Brian Kelly worked for the bottom. One
- 47:38went to Notre Dame, one went to LSU has one. I don't know
- 47:42that he wants to make that move over that way. Really named Texter while
- 47:47that saving timeline crazy makes sense though, pt for MSHU saysm Norville from Florida
- 47:52State. Well, he's a hot name today, but courtesy and Drew and
- 47:57Tyner Insider, it's not gonna be him. If it was going to be
- 48:00him, it would have already been him. Un named Texture. You telling
- 48:04us that Will Rogers could be the quarterback at Alabama, That's exactly what I'm
- 48:07telling you could could. I mean just because you look at I mean,
- 48:14it's not gonna be Jalen Milroe, especially if it's Kaylen de Bure or Steve
- 48:19Sarkisian who run high end complex passing schemes. It's not gonna be him,
- 48:27Bama fan, There's no way Saban and Greg Burn did not have a plan
- 48:30in place. Sabans to organize for that, and that's probably true. I
- 48:36mean, again, we don't really know. We hear rumors of the timeline
- 48:38and what happened. I would have to think that Nick Saban, as much
- 48:45as he loves the University of Alabama and the fact that you know, he's
- 48:50been there so long, that he doesn't want to see this thing fall apart.
- 48:54I mean, he wants it to continue. He's going to be there
- 48:58working still ham An office. He's going to be highly involved in, you
- 49:01know, trying to keep this class together and move things forward for the next
- 49:05guy. I would have to assume that he did probably let Greg Burdon know
- 49:09that, you know, hey, at some point, Hey, this could
- 49:13be it, or you know, I'm on this timeline. You may want
- 49:15to let's start preparing for the end. The real line named Texter are Alabama
- 49:21fans rooting for the Browns Saturday. So Demiko takes the job very well,
- 49:24could right, And look, I think Duico Ryan will be fantastic hot name
- 49:29in the NFL, really good football coach has done a heck of a job
- 49:34with the Houston Texans. He's an Alabama guy. I mean, he kind
- 49:37of checks every box except for the fact that he's in the NFL and the
- 49:42timeline and the windows. I mean, if Houston wins this weekend, they're
- 49:45off to the next round. They very well could. I mean, does
- 49:50Alabama wait? And I don't know that Alabama can wait? And you can't
- 49:54fall Demiko Ryan for you. You're still trying to call Beavers still out of
- 50:00here. It is just you and I. It is just you and I
- 50:02right now. And he'll be back. Maybe he's not coming back. Maybe
- 50:06Beaver is off to Ohio State for that tryout for the walk on. But
- 50:09he will be back in a minute. We'll get your calls. I just
- 50:12him on the other side of the glass and can't answer that phone over there.
- 50:15So nope, he's didn't he didn't quit. No, but oh,
- 50:21come on, come on, Beav's back. We were we were taking bets
- 50:28on that you left, maybe to go be with Nick Saban six hour one
- 50:31eight eight five three seven seven six. That is the couple of maloney text
- 50:34sign. You can always call six hour one eight nine, seven, one
- 50:37zero five nine. Yeah, it's gonna be one of those three, I
- 50:39think. And look, this is all speculation based on you know, stuff
- 50:44that you get from UH sports writers and people and if you know that are
- 50:47closer to those programs. But again, it could be Brian Kelly. I
- 50:52doubt it. I mean, Lane Kiffin may be the guy. I don't
- 50:55know. I doubt it. There's a lot of pushback on that from a
- 50:59lot of Alabama people. Threde Armins one, Greg mcealroy's another, and we've
- 51:04seen some other saying, now it's not gonna Belane Kiffin, which for ole
- 51:06miss that's a win if it's not Lane Kiffen, especially with the way they've
- 51:08worked in the transfer portal and you keep your head coach, let's go to
- 51:13DJ DJ welcome him. Hey, Jake, you know we always shoot each
- 51:16other straight, but let's look at the Alabama job. In the height of
- 51:21Saban, he won four out of six titles, okay, one of the
- 51:24greatest runs in football, and Saban's last six years with nil and portal.
- 51:31By Saban standards, he struggled. Okay, by Saban standards, would you
- 51:37agree with that? I wouldn't call it a struggle. I would say that
- 51:39he took a step. I mean, you know, to win titles like
- 51:43that is just very hard. It became more difficult for him. Let me
- 51:45say that, well, one out of six in his last six years,
- 51:49and then it's hot. But so let me ask you this, is it
- 51:52really a good job? Are you old enough to You may not be old
- 51:55enough to remember the decade after the Bear? Are you old enough to remember?
- 52:00I really, I mean I was probably ten or eleven, you know,
- 52:04I really dialed in in the early nineties. It was it was absolutely
- 52:07miserable. And then of course I'm old enough to remember right after Woody same
- 52:13thing. You know, it's just hard following a legend. And let's look
- 52:17at the candidates. If you're Sarkisian, let's be honest. Okay, I'm
- 52:22gonna throw it out there. Ohio state cannot compete with Michigan money. Alabama
- 52:28cannot compete with Texas money. Will you agree with that? Yes, it's
- 52:31a fact, you know, O High State. We're trying to Nickelin down
- 52:34our way. And the thing is, you know, Michigan has endowments that
- 52:39one or two people can throw more money than one hundred thousand uths O High
- 52:44state fans can come up with same thing with Texas. So why would start
- 52:47Lee? Well, that's a great question, you know, and you got
- 52:51I mean, it's a great place to be and a lot of people don't
- 52:53believe that, but I mean Texas is. I mean, you just see
- 52:55what he's done in two years. He got him in the playoffs, right,
- 53:00and let's go to Kiffing. Okay, A lot of people blame Kiffen
- 53:04for losing that national championship because he got fired right for a national championship game.
- 53:08Now, I don't know if that's fair or not, but to change
- 53:10coordinators within a few days after the championship game, I don't know how they
- 53:15would. You know, I agree, I don't think Kiffen has a chance
- 53:19of the job. Do you No, I do not. And the last
- 53:22thing I'm gonna say by all of those people that think Saban and I've read
- 53:27it now, I got one more thing that they'll at you, okay,
- 53:29and you may not want to touch that one. Those people that think Saban
- 53:32had a plan in place, do they not remember how high and drive up
- 53:37to Miami Dolphins? How many times did he deny that he was taking the
- 53:40Alabama job. Well, a lot of coaches do that well. And the
- 53:45last thing and you may not want to touch this one, but you know,
- 53:50twitter's a vile play. Do you agree with that or can be?
- 53:52Yes? You know, there's a lot of people saying Tomiko Ryans will not
- 53:58be the Alabama coach. And you know where I'm headed with that, right,
- 54:00Yeah, But I don't know that I want to I mean not because
- 54:02I don't want to dress. I don't want to entertain that either because hopefully
- 54:07in twenty twenty four we're past that. But there's a lot of people on
- 54:12Twitter I were saying that that's for reasons he won't get a fair shake at
- 54:15a job. And I would like to think in twenty twenty four we're past
- 54:19that because Jamiko Ryans is one of the best coaches young coaches in the NFL.
- 54:23But anyway, Jake Love show Man, thanks mother, appreciate it.
- 54:27Got to take a time out past and break back in the bed. Yes,
- 54:30it's time just cats back in the game. Seek Wimberly and the afternoon
- 54:34drive that's entertaining on the station and the specializes in the Mississippi Sports You love.
- 54:38Now we're talking live and look on esp In One on five point nine

- 55:47here, Lance on the Cowboy Malornius text line, Lane Kevin just makes more
- 55:51sense if you're trying to keep the four and five star recruits that are already
- 55:54leaving, well, it does make sense from that aspect. It's just you
- 55:59know, from what Drew was saying when he was on and what others have
- 56:04said that are around that program, is you know, Kiffin just did not
- 56:07leave on good terms at Alabama, and I mean you know they may look
- 56:10past all that, they may look past it, Jay Rock Alabama not wanting
- 56:15Kiffin. That makes no sense. What could possibly be the reason. Well
- 56:21again, remember and we forget this. I mean it's Greg Byrne, and
- 56:24then there's a board of regents as well, and then there's Nick Saban.
- 56:29I mean Nick Saban is going to have a say in this quietly for sure.
- 56:35And nobody really knows how that relationship is between I mean Kiff and clowns.
- 56:38And he talks and he's highly complimentary. And but remember he was left
- 56:43on it basically a tarmac or left they did, they took off without him,
- 56:46I mean there was it ended poorly for him over there. No,
- 56:51obviously he rebounded and got the fau job and at Ole miss and everything else's
- 56:54history. Do you think it would be are we missing on Lane kiffn here,
- 57:01Mike? It could it really be lane kivin it? It could be,
- 57:07But DeArmond, who's right there? Not that you know they would give
- 57:15everything away, but or not that that, I mean Alabama day as in
- 57:21Alabama would give him everything, all the information. But he's right there,
- 57:25he's in the state. I tend to I tend to believe him because he
- 57:30seemed really adamant when he said no on Kiffin a head conviction behind that he
- 57:37did and not that Drew is Greg mceilroy, but Greg McElroy very adamant as
- 57:44well. It's not Kivin. It's not gonna be Kivin zero chance. So
- 57:49you know, you get it from a quarterback, you get it from a
- 57:50guy that works insider tighter insider, which is very equivalent to your Genes Pages
- 57:53or your rebel Omas Spirits. It may not be Kivin, Miko. If
- 58:01Bama Hi's debure, does that change the commitment of Daniel Hill that will with
- 58:07the likelihood. Dylan Johnson follows him. Anything's possible right in this transfer portal
- 58:15world. I mean, you could see Washington get gutted. Bama guys leave
- 58:23that port window is open. Anything's possible, Bama fan, this guy is
- 58:29an idiot. There's a plan in place. They're just working on the contract
- 58:34and the other things before announcement. Attorneys have to look at all the contract
- 58:37stuff. It takes a few days. I'm betting tomorrow there will be an
- 58:39announcement now. Drew said tomorrow's gonna be the day. He feels like it's
- 58:43going to be tomorrow. Monkey's writing dogs Compare Kaylen Debuer and Nick Saban's winning
- 58:47percentage dubs up and Possum, Nick Joe Hey dj Go try to break the
- 58:57Guinness Book of World's record for holding your holding your breath underwater twenty four minutes,
- 59:00thirty seven seconds. D Manning state fans chiming in, laughing, and
- 59:10the real Eric Kevin got left on the tarmac by USC not Alabama. That
- 59:14is true. I forget about that. But didn't he get left didn't they
- 59:16leave him down at the Superdome or something? Or maybe I'm making this up
- 59:21in my head. Six hour one eight nine seven one zero five nine rafil
- 59:24aspars that will join us in the next segment, we'll talk NFL playoffs.
- 59:28Take a break from saving for a bit. If you look at David Cobb
- 59:32cbssports dot com, Dan Lanning of course decides to stay at Oregon, and
- 59:42then you get the normal guys what Drew was talking about. You get debuor
- 59:46Sarkesian, Demiko Ryans. I don't know, well they gonna do BEF call
- 59:54your shot. I I feel like, if this is the list we're down
- 1:00:02to, if it is in fact the list, If it is in fact
- 1:00:07the list, but this is the list you're giving me, This has been
- 1:00:09the list you've been really saying for the past hour and twenty four minutes here.
- 1:00:15So if we're going Ryan's, Ryan's and to Boor is the names I
- 1:00:20keep hearing the most here. Out of those two, I feel like it's
- 1:00:24more likely to Bor simply college coach staying in college over an NFL head coach
- 1:00:34who just got there, who is having a lot of success already. I
- 1:00:40mean, turning around the Texans and with CJ. Stroud having him having a
- 1:00:46lot of success too go hand in hand. I think I think a college
- 1:00:51coach more likely to stay in the college ranks. I'm gonna go to Boor
- 1:00:55out of those two. Well, yeah, because the window just doesn't fit.
- 1:01:00Now. If Dimiko, Ryans and Houston were not in the playoffs,
- 1:01:05it may make sense. But because they're in the playoffs and you go look
- 1:01:09over here, I mean, the Texans are a two point dog at home,
- 1:01:15but I think they're gonna beat Cleveland. What do you think I think
- 1:01:19they'll beat Cleve. I a better quarterback play with Stroud. They seem to
- 1:01:22be more buttoned up, and so that moves them to the next week.
- 1:01:28They can't wait that long. Remember, the portal's open. So if you're
- 1:01:31sitting there with no coach. Saban can only say so much as a quote
- 1:01:35advisor. Now, guys just start rolling out, because I can promise you
- 1:01:40for about twenty four hours now every coach in America is trying to poach that

- 1:03:07Onmbookie dot ag get in and play today, all right to Sparza, So
- 1:03:13Pete Carroll is gone, Saban's gone, Bill Belichick is gone. Are you
- 1:03:16gone? H No? I just I was getting ready to put my notice
- 1:03:22in and then they re upped my my aunties and stuff like that and gave
- 1:03:28my wife another Black New or Amazon card. So we're good, very good.
- 1:03:35All right? Do you have any thoughts on Nick Saban retiring and who
- 1:03:39the next guy may be and what does this mean for Alabama moving forward?
- 1:03:42In your mind? I think it's gonna be a little bit of a bump
- 1:03:46on a road for them. I think it all depends on who they get.
- 1:03:50But Alabama's always going to be Alabama. They have the money, they
- 1:03:54have the facility, they have the all the amenities to put the bring people
- 1:03:59in. I think Klin de Boor with his work ethic and I heard he
- 1:04:02was a heck a recruiter. He's one of those give me into someone's living
- 1:04:06room and I'll close the deal. A type of person. I think that
- 1:04:10could be a very good fit. For Alabama as a head coach. He's
- 1:04:14our favorite right now for the coaching favorite. But nothing really shocked me the
- 1:04:21last two days. Last let's see thirty six hours with Pete Carroll, I
- 1:04:26heard he lost a younger crowd and the younger players in the locker room they
- 1:04:30just weren't listening. So that didn't shock me. Belichick just the wait it'd
- 1:04:33been playing. I mean four thirteen enough said there. And I just heard
- 1:04:39Nick David, I think it's the wining grind and he said it today's between
- 1:04:45all the stuff you have to do now these days, between the transfer portal
- 1:04:47and losing coaches every year and doing a whole interview and stuff like that,
- 1:04:53I think it was just I think it's just beating him down. I don't
- 1:04:56think he left for a certain reason, even though I did hear help not
- 1:05:00his health, but my health. Maybe a family helped last night. That
- 1:05:03was from a credible source. He said it today. It wasn't. But
- 1:05:08none of the three coaches that we're talking about today, if you kind of
- 1:05:11thing to sit back and looks like I just think their names are more shocking,
- 1:05:14not the situation and how they did it. Rafael Spars I'm not booking
- 1:05:17out, ag get in and play today, all right. So Damiko Ryans
- 1:05:21is one of those guys on that list. He's got a playoff game this
- 1:05:24weekend. Houston host in Cleveland. They are a two point dog on at
- 1:05:29home forty four and a half. That's what I'm looking at, is the
- 1:05:30total. This is a three point thirty kick. You like the Browns and
- 1:05:34this magic run their owner. You like Damiko Ryan's team. Even though I've
- 1:05:40been making fun of Houston and Casigio Shrudd and Ohio State quarterback, I still
- 1:05:45don't think they can do anything. Houston's only played three teams that are actually
- 1:05:48in the playoffs this year. Three teams, and one of them was Pittsburgh.
- 1:05:53One of them was Tampa Bay. So it's not like they played the
- 1:05:56Casey, some elite number one seed and stuff like that. I'm not I'm
- 1:06:01still not a Herberson. So I like Cleveland best defense. Even though got
- 1:06:04a little bump on a roll up of injury today. Still like Cleveland of
- 1:06:06their defense. All right. I don't even know why I'm asking you this
- 1:06:10about this game as a Dolphin fan, because I have no look. Love,
- 1:06:13Mike McDaniels, love Miami, love what they're doing. Injuries just feel
- 1:06:17like they're missing a step. There's still got, you know, ways to
- 1:06:20go here on the road. Kansas City, they're a four and a half
- 1:06:24point dog forty three and a half. The weather's going to be awful and
- 1:06:29traditionally all the way back through Danny Marino, Miami doesn't play well in this
- 1:06:31in this situation. Tell me why they will play well? Or were they
- 1:06:34not on Saturday? Uh? Probably not. I mean, you just s
- 1:06:40there's this show on Peacock that's what this game is on, called Doctor Death.
- 1:06:44And why is this on Peacock? By the way, I have no
- 1:06:46idea, but that's a really good show on Peacock. I think after the
- 1:06:49end of this game, some of those Miami's Dolphin fans might be frozen and
- 1:06:54might need to call Doctor Death to help them out. I think Kansas City
- 1:06:58wins, not because of the weather. I just think they're so banged up.
- 1:07:01I think it's gonna show that injuries are gonna show their ugly ahead.
- 1:07:04Agreed all right. Pittsburgh on Sunday at noon travels to Buffalo. Bill's are
- 1:07:10a ten point favorite in a wild card game thirty five and a half as
- 1:07:13the total Vegas. You guys obviously think this is gonna be a lower scoring
- 1:07:16game. It probably will be. Buffalo's looks like they're I don't want to
- 1:07:19say, finding their way at the right time, but any chance Pittsburgh keeps
- 1:07:24us into the fourth quarter, I think, Zoe, we're gonna have probably
- 1:07:27snow flurries. It's gonna be cold, They're gonna be really really windy,
- 1:07:30so that probably benefits Pittsburgh. I mean it's gonna benefit both teams. Both
- 1:07:32teams like the running the ball. I just think Pittsburgh their run game.
- 1:07:38I'll take the plus, and Buffalo has not showed me that they're ten point
- 1:07:41favorites at all all season long. I think Buffalo wins by maybe like six
- 1:07:45points or less. Give me Pittsburgh plus the points. All right. They're
- 1:07:47filling it in Dallas. They feel like this might be the year to make
- 1:07:50the run of the NFC title game and have a shot. The Packers come
- 1:07:54in. They're a seven point dog, three point thirty kick on Sunday,
- 1:07:57Big d is the location fifteen and a half half? Dallas get it done?
- 1:08:00Or is this another heartbreak day for Dallas? Can we see one of
- 1:08:04these NSLAM NFC East teams lose and maybe Belichick goes over there see Dallas or
- 1:08:13Philly. That could be very interesting to see that one. I like Dallas
- 1:08:15in this one. I'm just happy that the ugly half a point finally got
- 1:08:19dropped in this game because it was seven and a half pretty much all week
- 1:08:23except until this morning. Most of the seven and a half is going back
- 1:08:26to sevens. I like Dallas, and this one could be an ugly blowout.
- 1:08:29It wouldn't shock me. All right, we got the Stafford Bowl Sunday
- 1:08:31night, seven pm. Rams at Lions. Lions have done everything just about
- 1:08:36right, really really done a great job. Minus three Detroit at home total
- 1:08:42fifty one and a half. You saw those props I send out to wildcard
- 1:08:45props. The highest scoring game, this one right here, Rams Detroit,
- 1:08:48but the over for two and a half. I like the Rams in this
- 1:08:50one. I always like to take one underdogs team as a wildcard. This
- 1:08:56is my home. I'm gonna take the plus three. I like the Rams,
- 1:08:59but I locked out over better all right. Monday Night, Philly Tampa
- 1:09:02Bay Baker Mayfield versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Hurts we don't know how healthy
- 1:09:10that hand is. Philly is a three point favorite on the road total forty
- 1:09:14three and a half. Yeah, he has him throwing a football all week
- 1:09:16long. That middle finger are pretty nasty. Tampa Bay with Baker Mayfield Monday
- 1:09:21Night raw wrestling. I don't know what I'm be watching this win, but
- 1:09:24I can't believe we're gonna say this. I think the Eagles could win this
- 1:09:27game just because I think they're gonna be able to run the ball. I
- 1:09:30like Philly, but I don't like the number. I'm gonna take Tampa Bay
- 1:09:33plus the three, but I still think Philly wins by like two points.
- 1:09:36All right, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick, does either one of them coach
- 1:09:42again? To both coach again? What do you think I think Belichick coaches
- 1:09:45again. I think he really wants that record with not shocked me if Pete
- 1:09:48Carroll takes maybe one year off. I mean, Pete Carroll's a lot older
- 1:09:54than people actually really think about it, so that would check if he takes
- 1:09:56a year off. But I think Belichick coaches. I'm saying either Atlanta or
- 1:10:00one of these NFC East teams that might lose this week, one of the
- 1:10:03hell land. One of those places is that there's no way Belichick could work
- 1:10:09for Jerry Jones, is it? What does Jerry Jones say anytime he has
- 1:10:13a microphone in from him? I want another super Bowl? He I think
- 1:10:16right now he will do anything for a super Bowl. I mean it seems
- 1:10:21like his ego is too big for him to get that super Bowl. True,
- 1:10:28but I think before he goes Danling, I mean, he ain't getting
- 1:10:31any younger either, So if he wants to host a trophy, he needs
- 1:10:34it now. I think he will bend over backwards to get one. And
- 1:10:39I think getting Belichick. I mean, granted, if Dallas loses, which
- 1:10:42I don't think. I think the Eagles have a better shot at losing,
- 1:10:45but that could be. That can be very interesting on Monday and Monday nights
- 1:10:49if if the Eagles lose. All right, we got a lot of other
- 1:10:51stuff going on to everybody, what else is going on and what you're doing
- 1:10:54this weekend outside of rest? Yeah, we got UFC comes back into action
- 1:10:58this weekend. We got an NFL Wildcards, a whole bunch of college basketball.
- 1:11:01So it's just a great week NBA, NHL, so it's just a
- 1:11:04great great, great week I mean the space. It's all about NFL wildcard
- 1:11:08players. I'm still trying to figure out Peacock is Miami Kansas City game,
- 1:11:12but that's another story. Should be fun. I just think that the Swifties,
- 1:11:15I'm just gonna make Peacock make a ton of money because they're gonna want
- 1:11:18to watch the Taylor Swift in Kansas City. So he has to buy Peacock.
- 1:11:23I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'll come over and
- 1:11:26you can use my pastor. I'll come over. Very good, Spars.

- 1:13:10weird since never is that what you're laughing at? Well, you said the
- 1:13:14X feed or hit us up on X, and then you said that's the
- 1:13:18Twitter feed, So we still haven't made it. Can't can't get there yet.
- 1:13:24But I also need to point out that when you were talking to Raffia,
- 1:13:27you know, we all we were barreling towards a full day, one
- 1:13:32day in a row without hearing a certain singer's name mentioned on the show,
- 1:13:40and then you and as Varsa just murdered it more so him. Yeah,
- 1:13:45he started it. He did. And I haven't mentioned the national champions today,
- 1:13:49which is good. I told you I'm pivoting away from that. Now
- 1:13:55that's done. You can't live in the past. One day in a row.
- 1:13:58Got to move forward, Bama fan on the Clinton body Shop Twitter text
- 1:14:02line. Also, Savan asked the players to wait seventy two hours before making
- 1:14:05any decisions. Yeah, I am sure that that that probably did happen,
- 1:14:10And that's why they probably put this on such a tight timeline to have a
- 1:14:15guy to come in, you know, try to make the pitch say hey,
- 1:14:16look, we need you to stay here, don't jump in the portl
- 1:14:19blah blah blah blah, all that stuff. Unnamed textter. Ole Mess basketball
- 1:14:24had a great bounce back game last night beat Florida one o three to eighty
- 1:14:27five. Vandi is next fourteen and one and ain't bad. No, it's
- 1:14:30not bad. Big win for Ole Mess, big winro Misispi State over Tennessee
- 1:14:33last night. We had need have a chance to get to that and both
- 1:14:36programs. And let me go ahead and look real quick if you go to
- 1:14:43the updated now SEC men's basketball standings courtesy of SEC sports dot Com obviously got
- 1:14:51a list of two and O teams out there in the Auburn, Kentucky,
- 1:14:56Georgia, Bama, and LSU Ole miss sit at one on one with North
- 1:15:00Carolina, Missippi State, Tennessee, and then of course a lot of O
- 1:15:03and two's in Florida's, the Arkansas, the Texas, A and M's,
- 1:15:05Missouri and Vanderbilts, and so you look at coming up. We'll get the
- 1:15:12schedule coming up this weekend. So SEC play really dialing up and all missing
- 1:15:15Missippi State with big wins last night, Rebel Tiger David, I need someone's
- 1:15:21peacock password. Please, I'm not paying to watch the Chiefs game. Peacock
- 1:15:26password. Please save it to Cowboys. Save it to the Cowboys. Don't
- 1:15:31don't you have peacock? I do not. I am not doing the whole
- 1:15:35peacock thing for this. I may go somewhere and watch it. I'm not.
- 1:15:41Yeah, there's I mean I think it's I mean, the five dollars
- 1:15:48to watch one game. That doesn't sound very inviting unless you are a passionate,
- 1:15:57passionate Chiefs or Dolphins fan, and you're a pretty passionate Dolphins fan.
- 1:16:02But even you're not willing, so I, well, I'm not on hav
- 1:16:05any faith, and that is I just think there's too much going against Miami
- 1:16:10this weekend. They're so injured and so beating up right now, and it's
- 1:16:14a shame that they are. And they're playing in two degree weather at night,
- 1:16:18which is always kryptonite for the Dolphins. It's always been kryptonite for the
- 1:16:23Dolphins always. Mean. I can remember the playoffs against the Bills with Danny
- 1:16:27Marino, playoffs against the Jets, playoffs against the Steelers, anytime it was
- 1:16:31cold weather. It's kryptonite. Those South Florida guys can't do it. It's
- 1:16:35weird. Yeah, I don't see how NBC is really gonna There's gonna be
- 1:16:45a big loss they because you saw they paid one hundred and ten million for
- 1:16:48this thing. Is this really another Taylor swift sigh? Op? Oh she
- 1:16:56is. Well, there you go again to get swifties to sign up for
- 1:17:00Peacock. Is that what we're doing here? No? I bet you know.
- 1:17:06I think they've already signed up because her eras to where thing was put
- 1:17:15on Peacock last month, so they're probably already there. They've already got this
- 1:17:19they've already got all the Swifties parents' money. From that. AI was asked
- 1:17:30who the next head coach at Alabama's going to be, and it just gives
- 1:17:34a short list. Lane Kiffen with a bio Dabo Sweeney, Steve's Sarkisian,
- 1:17:41Dan Lanning, which is out Glenn Schumann, Georgia defensive coordinator. And then
- 1:17:45the second second tier is Dan Lanning, Steve Sarkisian, Lane Kiffen. I'm
- 1:17:51gonna say AI doesn't know football too well because I don't think there's a chance
- 1:17:57in hell Glenn Schuman's gonna be the head coach at Alabama. Tiger David sports
- 1:18:01surge watching NFL free on internet app on TV. Do you know what he
- 1:18:08speaks of? There's so many apps. I just clicked on it and it
- 1:18:14says malicious sight blocked. Don't listen to Tiger David. He's trying to get
- 1:18:18you all into some Vladimir Putin's probably involved in this one somehow. Oh man
- 1:18:25bro, sorry, some bootleg Russian feed that they're gonna bust you for excuse
- 1:18:32me six one eight nine seven one zero five. Now let me go over
- 1:18:35here to X and see if there's any let's see here any breaking news so
- 1:18:46far, because if you're not checking this, then you're you're out, because
- 1:18:49I mean it'll pop up quick. We just make sure as we get to
- 1:18:51the top of the hour, I am not seeing anything. Let's see.
- 1:18:57Joel Klatt on three dot Com explains why Steve Sarkjian will not accept the Alabama
- 1:19:02job. Quote now that he's at Texas, he doesn't make it doesn't make
- 1:19:05a lot of sense for him to go back to Alabama because he's his own
- 1:19:09man. He's built this in his own image. He's not in the shadow
- 1:19:15or footsteps of anybody else. This is Sark's program. If you go to
- 1:19:17Alabama, you will be in Nick Saban's shadow. I don't think Sark is
- 1:19:21wanting that job. Also, I do have other information that was passed along
- 1:19:25from another Alabama insider that and this matters. Sark's wife doesn't want to leave
- 1:19:29Austin. That matters. Miss Terry Love Tuscaloosa. That matters. So I
- 1:19:35would take Sark off the board. Joel Klatt takes Sark off the board.
- 1:19:40I do think it's down to Demico Ryans and Calyn de Bure. Just my
- 1:19:45hunch from everything we're getting fed here and it could be totally wrong. It
- 1:19:50could be lik Lane Kiffin may end up being the guy. I doubt it.
- 1:19:53I just can't. Do you think it? Do you feel less and
- 1:19:56less and less that it's Lane Keivin? I think so. And you know
- 1:20:02a lot of people talk about, well, you know, why would it
- 1:20:05not be Lang Kiffin. Look, that Joey freshwater thing is a real thing
- 1:20:10and that pissed a lot of people off, believe it or not. I
- 1:20:13mean that that was a real thing. Greg mlcilroy also gives zero percent chance
- 1:20:17to Dabosweeney. Do you think Dabo has called or has his agent call inquired
- 1:20:21about that? Do you think he'd want the job? I think he'd probably
- 1:20:26want the job. Also, if you missed it, quinn Ewers has officially
- 1:20:30announced he will return for the twenty twenty four season. And I think at
- 1:20:36least today you have to take Alabama off the board as a high end and
- 1:20:41let me go over here and see how this affected the National Championship odds going
- 1:20:45to AmeriStar Casino dot Com for Slash Vicksburg get the bet Builder Championship odds.
- 1:20:53Who Yes, absolutely, it did all right. Georgia has the number one
- 1:20:59odds still for the twenty twenty five National Championship in college football twenty four to
- 1:21:03twenty five, three and a half to one. Ohio State number two at
- 1:21:09six to one. That's making a little more sense now when you look at
- 1:21:13some of the guys that are bringing into the portal, and of course they've
- 1:21:15recruited extremely will Oregon now up to number three at seven to one, Texas
- 1:21:20ten to one. At number four, Alabama has moved all the way back
- 1:21:24to five. Alabama has the same odds as ole Miss at eleven to one,
- 1:21:28so they have dropped drastically from number two down at number five. If
- 1:21:31you're an Alabama fan and you want some good value for next year, it's
- 1:21:35there eleven to one, same as ole Miss. LSU still at fourteen to
- 1:21:42one, along with Michigan at fourteen and one as well. Got to take
- 1:21:46a time out. We're brought to you by Madison Pts. We'll be out
- 1:21:48there here in the coming weeks. You can ask about cage rentals, all

- 1:23:41eight eight five three seven seven six GRIZ Dennis Dodd says Dabo is lobbying for
- 1:23:45the Bama job. Bam. Do you think Dabo is? I think that's
- 1:23:48absolutely true. What do you think? I don't know that Dabo has a
- 1:23:54shot at this. I think seven years ago he probably would have. What
- 1:24:00do you what do you think? But what how big of a shot?
- 1:24:02I mean? Greg McRoy says he has zero percent chance to get it zero,
- 1:24:06So I don't I don't think so. And Vegas obviously takes this seriously.
- 1:24:11They moved Alabama down to eleven to one. Who has the better eleven
- 1:24:14to one odds Bama or Ole Miss Bama. I think Bama even even still,
- 1:24:19I think it's Bama. Uh. But again you look at it Georgia,
- 1:24:24and then the next best is going to be Texas. As far as
- 1:24:27the odds I think are concerned. Quinn Ewers is coming back to Texas.
- 1:24:34Dan Lanning is going back to Oregon, and we'll see what happens. Georgia
- 1:24:41corner A. J. Harris has committed to Penn State. He was in
- 1:24:43the transfer portal. And this is big for Ohio State as well. Amika
- 1:24:50Abuka is coming back to Ohio State. Let's see here, three hump Camel.
- 1:24:56Well, let me go here first, Carlos. I don't see Bama
- 1:25:00offering Kiff and the job, but if they did, he would be gone
- 1:25:03from Oxford faster than a cat can look its rear end. Yes, he
- 1:25:06would dB, regardless of who's the next coach at Alabama. How about reaching
- 1:25:13out and paying Joe Brady to be the OC. We truly know he was
- 1:25:17the reason for the twenty nineteen LSU Naty dB. Yeah, Joe Brady.
- 1:25:21His name is cooled to some degree, and you know, I'm I'm assuming
- 1:25:30he still has value as far as you know what people think of him as
- 1:25:32a possible college coach, and it could come back. He could come back
- 1:25:35around and be in college. I don't know this BAMA three helped Cam.
- 1:25:39I think BAMA should hire Jibo Fisher. You know Jimbo's been quiet. I
- 1:25:43think he takes the year off. I don't know where he lands or comes
- 1:25:46back to, but I I don't know that Bama's going to look that way
- 1:25:49either. Pt for Amashue, I'm sure Dabo is lobbying for it, but
- 1:25:54he's lost his fastball. Obama would be crazy at hire And I agree,
- 1:25:59Joe impossum that great seat for the show this afternoon, lazy man hunting b
- 1:26:03What do you think about that? What is Joe doing? Do you can
- 1:26:08you describe that photo? Yeah? But what is he in? He's in
- 1:26:16a hunting space? Is he on the ground or is he elevating? Well,
- 1:26:21I can see the ground. He's on the ground in a hunting space.
- 1:26:28That would be called a a deer blind, That's what I said.
- 1:26:30And he's looking over at Greenfield. Joe, was that a deer out there
- 1:26:32that you took a picture of? Is that one way out there? I
- 1:26:35can't tell. It's like you may be watching watching one. It's a good
- 1:26:39shooting line, you got there, Joe. I like that? All right,
- 1:26:43let's move on, shower. So let me ask you this. Let's
- 1:26:45just assume for a minute. I don't think it's gonna be Mike Norvell was
- 1:26:48a guy. Would Deon Sanders be a serious candidate Florida State? Oh?
- 1:26:59Okay, let's see. Was he a serious candidate last year before he went
- 1:27:04to Colorado? I know that was the quote unquote buzz for a bit,
- 1:27:10but was that real? That's a great question. I think that he would
- 1:27:15at least get a shot at it now. I don't think Mike Norvell is
- 1:27:19going anywhere, but I think he would get a shot. Let's shift over
- 1:27:23to the NFL real quick. Top ten coaches NFL coaches of all time?
- 1:27:27Belichick? Where does he rank among these? This is Brian de ardor de
- 1:27:31Ardo CBS Sports dot Com. Go move, we go straight to the top?
- 1:27:36Is Bill Belichick? Is he the greatest coach of all time in the
- 1:27:40NFL? No, I can't say that definitively. He's up there. They
- 1:27:48have him number one. I think forever there will be now questions because of
- 1:27:55Tom Brady that will cloud that just a little bit. Vince Party two.
- 1:28:00Who would you say number one? Is it? Vince Lombardi's still for right
- 1:28:08now? Yeah? I mean he had a gaudy Lombardy had a gaudy seventy
- 1:28:13four percent regular season winning percentage, and he was nine to one in the
- 1:28:16postseason, where the Packers posting impressive postseason wins over Jim Brown and the Cleveland
- 1:28:21Browns. Also Tom Landry's Cowboys twice. Hank Stram's talented Chiefs team in the
- 1:28:26Super Bowl. I would put Belichick at one, just like this Lombardy two.
- 1:28:32Three is where it really gets kind of cloudy. Louvier is not going
- 1:28:35to like this. They have Don Shula third, But I mean Shula won
- 1:28:40three hundred and twenty eight regular season games three hund and forty seven total,
- 1:28:44which remains an all time record thirty three seasons in the NFL, thirty one
- 1:28:49wins, thirty one winning seasons is of course, seventy two Dolphins were undefeated.
- 1:28:57Is Shula the best ever in the NFL? I don't think most people
- 1:29:00would put him there, but they have him at three. Number four.
- 1:29:03George hallis number five on this list. Paul Brown, number six, Chuck
- 1:29:13Knowle, number seven, Bill Walsh. Of course, you look at what
- 1:29:19Bill Walsh did with the San Francisco forty nine Ers. An amazing run for
- 1:29:24Bill wash in nineteen eighty four. Was one of the greatest teams in NFL
- 1:29:27history. That team won fifteen regular season games and overwhelmed Dan Marino and the
- 1:29:32Dolphins in the Super Bowl. Tom Landry right there as well, Number eight
- 1:29:40and number nine, Joe Gibbs and number ten Curly Lambo, carlos So,
- 1:29:50who's on Michigan's short list when Harball splits to the NFL. Excuse me,
- 1:29:55that's a great question. And let me ask you this as we move through.
- 1:29:59This is Hardball really leaving Michigan. I think that he still probably is,
- 1:30:04and I would guess a short list. You got to go Brian Kelly.
- 1:30:08I think one at LSU. I think you have to give the offensive
- 1:30:13coordinator excuse me, a look there at Michigan. And I have no idea
- 1:30:17that just flew in my throat or what, but I cannot make that thing
- 1:30:21work. Sorry about that. I don't think you have to look at the
- 1:30:25o C at Michigan. I think you have to look at Brian Kelly,
- 1:30:28and then I think you have to look at a couple of other guys as
- 1:30:30well. Uh, you could look towards maybe I don't know that Lincoln Riley
- 1:30:34gets a look. I mean, Lincoln Riley is his is this is that?
- 1:30:39Is that meat sizzling still or is it fading such? You know,
- 1:30:42just a little bit. Let's go to Larry, Larry, welcome him.
- 1:30:45It's going on, guys. I was listening to your NFL coaches list you
- 1:30:53know, every time I get rid of Colleen, y'all always do great,
- 1:30:56great content. But any list that has Wall or Don Shuler that low,
- 1:31:02it can't be accurate. And Paul Brown, Paul Brown is gonna always be
- 1:31:06at either one or two. And if you're gonna put coach Belichick at one,
- 1:31:12and I think he got an asteris by that because he basically had the
- 1:31:15greatest player of all time. So I mean, if you're gonna put him
- 1:31:18up there, you gotta have Paul Brown run there all wash, you gotta
- 1:31:21have him up there as well. And Don Shuler. But I thought it
- 1:31:27was so crazy that, you know, three of the last coaches that we
- 1:31:30have experienced dynasties, all three of them retired in the same or basically,
- 1:31:36you know, walked away from the job at some point on some type of
- 1:31:40fashion, which is in you know, coach Carroll Staban and Billichick and they
- 1:31:45always on the coaching staff at one point in time as well, and in
- 1:31:48some form of fastive, which is crazy. And also it's only three coaches
- 1:31:54to me, in my mind, that can handle the caliber of Alabama,
- 1:31:58because not only you gotta have the revenue, you got to have the rankings,
- 1:32:01of the kids that want to see you come there to the university.
- 1:32:05Because even though Alabama has the stature, Alabama had their stature before Nick Staven
- 1:32:11got there, but they wasn't winning the at a certain point. So in
- 1:32:15order for those guys to come back, they can stay the board. But
- 1:32:17he's not unname that rings bell. It's only three people. You got two
- 1:32:21active coaches, which is obviously old Missus coach Lane Kiffin, you got coach
- 1:32:27Prime and the third one, I don't know it's gonna bring controversy, but
- 1:32:30I do know and we all know money makes sense. The last one is
- 1:32:35Irvan Mind. That's the only one. That's the only one. And so
- 1:32:39out of those three, nobody else can handle it that job, that caliber,
- 1:32:44that status and for the recruiting and the nil and everything that it would
- 1:32:47it brings. That's the only three people that can basically a faceted and actually
- 1:32:53get some type of results of what you need to. But thanks, guys,

- 1:34:36hey now that the dynasty is officially decayed. I'm doing you know, I'm
- 1:34:44doing good as a Tennessee fan. I'm sure you were torn, right because
- 1:34:47you feel that way. I'm sure, But then you're like, Okay,
- 1:34:49I got to kind of be objective here, but maybe not. Were you
- 1:34:54shocked by the announcement yesterday? Oh yeah, and I think, like everybody
- 1:34:59else, I had to double and triple check to make sure this is actual
- 1:35:02news being reported, not some troll account that was trying to get fool us
- 1:35:09all for kicks or whatever. But yeah, the timing of it just and
- 1:35:13apparently, I mean, he was working up to the day he made the
- 1:35:16decision, and he just did an interview with ESPN. I don't know if
- 1:35:19you've caught it yet, but he said literally five minutes before the team meeting
- 1:35:24where he announced he's going to retire, he he didn't know if he was
- 1:35:26going to do it or not. So yeah, pretty stunning news. So
- 1:35:30when you look at what is I mean, obviously we know about saving we
- 1:35:32know about everything he did for us clues. So we've talked about this,
- 1:35:36you know, for no almost two days now, about what he's meant to
- 1:35:40that program in that town. Him now out the door. What does this
- 1:35:45do towards the SEC? Does this reset Alabama? Does it bring him back
- 1:35:48to the pack? I mean, I don't We'll talk about the who could
- 1:35:51the next guy be here in a minute, But I wouldn't want to be
- 1:35:54that guy to follow him? Right, And you hear that narrative but I
- 1:36:00these guys, the way they're wired, Jake, these alpha coaches, I
- 1:36:01mean, they're not going to be scared by it. I truly don't think
- 1:36:05even though it's a it is it's a no win situation. But hey,
- 1:36:11most of these guys got into it, Jake, to win a national championship.
- 1:36:14And if you go to Alabama today, short of maybe Georgia and maybe
- 1:36:19Ohio State, that may be the only other place you're set up to win
- 1:36:23that national championship a lot sooner than you ever would wherever you're at. So
- 1:36:28it's it's an elite job, don't kid yourself, and they'll find a quality
- 1:36:31candidate. But in terms of how this resets things, I think I think
- 1:36:38it's I think it's bad for college football that we lost such an icon,
- 1:36:42that we lost kind of the face of the game, and just a little
- 1:36:46something will be lost from it. But at the same time, I really
- 1:36:50think this kind of opens it up a little bit to where parody's probably not
- 1:36:55the right word, but I think we'll have more of a rotation of who
- 1:36:59wins the SEC who wins the national championship. I was just looking at it
- 1:37:03yesterday, ironically, Jake, the last ten national champions it was either Alabama
- 1:37:10or it was a team that beat Alabama. So I mean they were.
- 1:37:13They're literally a factor in every national championship race, and I don't know if
- 1:37:16that's truly good for the sport. Yeah, I was looking at the Vegas
- 1:37:19ods courtesy of a Maristar Casino pen Gaming. Since yesterday they've Alabama's moved from
- 1:37:25you know, second behind Georgia in the way too early national championship odds to
- 1:37:30eleven to one back in the pack, and so I would say Vegas thinks
- 1:37:32it's definitely gonna make a difference. We had drewdy Arman on Tighter Insider first
- 1:37:36hour. He said, I want to get your thoughts on this because I
- 1:37:41know you're plugged in all over the SEC. He is hearing it. It's
- 1:37:44down to three. It's not gonna be Kiffin. It's either gonna be Kaylen
- 1:37:46Debure, DeMarco Ryans or Steve Sarkejan do you agree with that? Are you
- 1:37:51hearing sults? If you were just for fun throwing at the dark board,
- 1:37:55who you got? Yeah, I think one name that I would add to
- 1:38:00that would be Mike Norville at Florida State. Just giving all the uncertainty of
- 1:38:04the future of Florida State in what league they're going to be in. They
- 1:38:09just went undefeated, Jake, obviously, and they didn't make the Nationals.
- 1:38:12They didn't make the playoffs. Uh, that says a lot about that league
- 1:38:15and just the fact that, you know, and credit Mike Norvelle for doing
- 1:38:19it, but his roster a lot through ni L a lot through these transfers
- 1:38:25that that a good majority of them are off of the NFL. So he's
- 1:38:29almost having to rebuild his roster this offseason. I think there's a lot of
- 1:38:32signs that point to Mike Mike Norville being a legitimate candidate for this job as
- 1:38:36well. When you look at just you know, Georgia, I think obviously
- 1:38:41is you can say, hey, they are the you know, odds on
- 1:38:43favorite to win the Southeastern Conference. Does this move Texas right to number two?
- 1:38:49Hm? Uh, I mean, I guess on pay per Jake,
- 1:38:54But I'm still I'm not buying all this Texas type. I'm truly not,
- 1:38:58And I know that that may sound. They just went to the playoff,
- 1:39:00but they still flat in the playoff, and it's winning the Big twelve,
- 1:39:05that's one thing. And they did it one time out of like the last
- 1:39:09fourteen years coming into this league weekend week out having a difficult row. But
- 1:39:15I don't think it's it's just any slam dunk. I mean I would be
- 1:39:19more surprised, Jake, if they went if they went undefeated, then they
- 1:39:24went eight and four, you know what I mean. So that doesn't mean
- 1:39:27I think they're going eight and four. But I think they'll lose a couple
- 1:39:30in the SEC because they're just not used to the grind. They're about to
- 1:39:31get into mask comout lane Kiffin and ole Miss. It looks like Kiffin,
- 1:39:36you know, unless something drastically to just he'll be an ole Miss next year.
- 1:39:41Do you agree with Vegas eleven to one odds? Right there? With
- 1:39:43Alabama top five, top ten type program. I mean you look at what
- 1:39:45ole Miss has done in the transfer portal. Yes, Quinn Shawn Jenkins will
- 1:39:48be playing at Ohio State next year. But your thoughts on the momentum that
- 1:39:53it's going on in Oxford. Yeah, and he may be the big winner
- 1:39:57of this whole thing, Jake, because he couldn't beat Nick Sabans. Obviously,
- 1:40:00they don't play Alabama next season, but they may face or at least
- 1:40:04may have faced Alabama in the SEC Championship game, so I think that is
- 1:40:10something to consider as well. But yeah, I think. I mean,
- 1:40:14in my mind, Jake oldmis has gone from playoff contender is what a lot
- 1:40:18of people are labeling them. I'm already saying national championship contender. I think
- 1:40:24they should be of that caliber next season. Well, so when you look
- 1:40:28at it, let me ask you the same question for Missouri. Does Missouri
- 1:40:30deserve the same love and respect so to speak? I mean Vegas has them
- 1:40:35down a little bit further. If you know, the guys that are coming
- 1:40:40back produced like they did this year, can can Missouri make that same similar
- 1:40:44run? Yeah? I think so year two under their offensive coordinator Kirby Moore
- 1:40:50too. You know a lot of these quarterbacks and overall offense takes a big
- 1:40:56jump in year two of a system. It's gonna be a little bit more
- 1:40:58difficult replacing defensive coordinator Blake Baker. But if you look at Missouri schedule,
- 1:41:03I mean, it's it's a joke. And I don't know if you saw
- 1:41:06this the other day, Jake, but I've ran the numbers of just every
- 1:41:11the records combined records of every SEC team next season based on their opponents for
- 1:41:16this season, and Missouri's is far and away the easiest, just on that
- 1:41:23metric, easiest schedule in the SEC. They do have to go to Alabama,
- 1:41:28all of a sudden, Alabama doesn't look quite as fearsome without Nick Saban.
- 1:41:31I mean, Missouri is gonna win ten eleven games next year. Yeah,
- 1:41:35we were talking about that list you put out yesterday. That was good
- 1:41:38work as always, And let me ask you this, We'll get you on
- 1:41:41your right here way too early. I mean, you look at Sam Pittman's
- 1:41:44you know, coming off of a year where he's got to produce. You
- 1:41:46look at Shane Beemer at South Carolina, You look at Billinaprier at Florida.
- 1:41:50Could we see a potential coaching churn inside the league again next year? Oh?
- 1:41:56Yeah, absolutely. I mean some of these coaches I don't even know
- 1:41:59how they to this offseason. Jake who Sam Fittman specifically is who I'm talking
- 1:42:03about. But yeah, Billy Napier and the grind he's got upcoming, it
- 1:42:08seems very unlikely that he's gonna survive unless they take a massive jump this offseason.
- 1:42:13And there's always guys you don't expect like Nick Saban, you know,
- 1:42:17and Lane Kiffin's always eyeing another job seemingly. So yeah, I think this
- 1:42:21is just the nature of it. And now that we'll go to a twelve
- 1:42:25team format, Jake, I think there's about eight programs in the SEC,
- 1:42:29or at least their fans, that think it's their birthright to make the college
- 1:42:32football playoff, and you know they're not all going to make it, so
- 1:42:35there's going to be heck to pay for these coaches that failed to make the
- 1:42:40twelfth team playoff annually. I truly do think great stuff as always. Michael
- 1:42:45Bratton, you can find him on x SEC. Mike, you can search

- 1:44:14let's see Carlos who's on Michigan Show. I think we answered that. I
- 1:44:17think if Harball is off to the NFL, I think here I look at
- 1:44:20the offensive coordinator at Michigan. I think he gotta look at Brian Kelly.
- 1:44:27Do you have another name for Michigan to sound crazy, Pete Carroll, I
- 1:44:38was just gonna say that at Michigan, i'd stay in house. Someone who's
- 1:44:43already there, know what you're doing. Just keep it going, because okay,
- 1:44:46you know we keep talking about the Alabama short list. Well, let's
- 1:44:51say that Harball decides next week he's leaving. Well, then it's an even
- 1:44:58shorter list for Michigan. It's just not that much out there. It's it's
- 1:45:03not it is uh, it's very, very difficult. You know, you
- 1:45:12might look at Mike Mickens, he's the offensive coordinator or excuse me, defensive
- 1:45:17passing game coordinator. Coach. You may look at, I think definitely the
- 1:45:21offensive coordinator at Michigan, Brian Kelly. Floatown goes best when you'll hear all
- 1:45:30day Mullin to Alabama. You can text a six or one eighty five three
- 1:45:34seven seven six Mullin to Alabama. He hates recruiting, and Bama recruits itself.
- 1:45:41Mullen goes in knowing he only has a few years there, because no
- 1:45:45big name coach really wants to come behind saving When Mullin rides off into the
- 1:45:49sunset, and two three years Sark, Dabo, Kirby or Kiffin come in
- 1:45:56as the savior. They rebuild Bama and have a statue built. Besides say,
- 1:46:00I'd love it just to see Bama fans complain for the next two to
- 1:46:03three years. I think, I don't think Stan Mullin. I like this,
- 1:46:08but I'll play this along. If it was Mullin, they would burn
- 1:46:11TuS closer to the ground, wouldn't they. They don't want Mullin. Tiger
- 1:46:16David. A list in the NFL Top ten coaches without Bill Parcells is not
- 1:46:21a list. Didn't agree with that. Brian Kelly wouldn't go down, wouldn't
- 1:46:26go down to a Michigan job Nick without Belichick's defense, Brady's Brady doesn't pass
- 1:46:33Joe the real goat. There's probably a lot to that. Is Joe really
- 1:46:38the goat? Is Brady a facade goat, paper goat? Yeah? I
- 1:46:45mean I don't know. In my brain come about Joe Montana, by the
- 1:46:48way, Yeah, in my brain and in my heart, Joe Montana.
- 1:46:51Now Jenna was good, He's there. It goes back to that coaching thing
- 1:46:57because he's talking about no Larry mentioned wash. Yeah, I don't know Belichick.
- 1:47:09Belichick doesn't do it without Brady. Well, Brady did it without Belichick
- 1:47:13for one. I don't know when you get into that debate. These quarterbacks
- 1:47:16and coaches go hand in hand. I want to say definitively Joe Montana always
- 1:47:24did. But that's just fans speak as childhood speak. I don't know,
- 1:47:30man, I mean it's hard. It's so hard to argue with Brady though
- 1:47:34it is seven seven super bowls. I know it's not all about super bowls
- 1:47:40total, but yeah, ten total, ten super bowls? Who was it?
- 1:47:46Uh? Let me look back. I'm trying to see here. Nick,
- 1:47:51He refers to Brady as the luckiest player in sports history. You don't
- 1:47:55get to ten super Bowls with luck. I mean, you gotta have some
- 1:47:58luck, but you're not just a lucky player. Yeah, can after getting
- 1:48:01into ten super Bowls? Hey, Nick, get it out of my face.
- 1:48:05dB hiring coach Prime in Alabama will be worse than spray and cold water
- 1:48:09on a hot grease fire. It's all about fit. I don't think Prime.
- 1:48:15He wouldn't put up with being told what to do, and they're not
- 1:48:17going to put up with Prime like he's, well, here's the deal.
- 1:48:20He wouldn't have to do what he did at Colorado. He wouldn't have to
- 1:48:25gut the whole place. And you put Dion in a place like that,
- 1:48:30I think he'd probably win. I mean, I think who Nick Saban has
- 1:48:34teed up, whoever the next coach is gonna be. I don't think it's
- 1:48:36gonna be Deion, but playing along Hare, I think that whoever they put
- 1:48:41in there, they got a chance to go in right away and win ten
- 1:48:43ball games. Louvier Nick Saban is no longer the coach, and Vegas thinks
- 1:48:49that makes a difference. Vegas also thinks water is wet. That is true,
- 1:48:57Space Ghost, what are your thoughts on Will Rogers? If the boy
- 1:49:00takes the job at Alabama, I mean the boar if he takes the Washington
- 1:49:06job, just like any well outside of Demiico Ryans, who's in the NFL.
- 1:49:11And I say outside of that, because that doesn't affect that roster.
- 1:49:14Demiko Ryans takes the Alabama job, the next coach still has the roster.
- 1:49:17Those guys are under contract unless they're free agents and all that stuff, so
- 1:49:21that roster set. But any college coach, Calen de Bure, Steve Sarkisian,
- 1:49:28Mike Norvel, Dion Sanders, those programs windows in the transfer portal open
- 1:49:33for thirty days, coach leaves portal's open. So I guess the question is,
- 1:49:42would the Boor want to bring Will Rogers or Dylan Johnson or some of
- 1:49:45those players with him? Because I mean, you remember what happened. I
- 1:49:49mean Dion Deon brought Louis right, I mean he brought several guys from Jackson
- 1:49:55State, his sons, A couple of the guys took them to Colorado or
- 1:50:00Because here's what I do think is almost a certainty if it's a passing if
- 1:50:04it's a complex passing game coordinator like the Boar or sark and even Mike Norvel's
- 1:50:11offenses. Is Taylor Differently, I don't think it's Jalen Milroe. I think
- 1:50:15Alabama did what they needed to do to make it work with Milroe. But
- 1:50:18I don't think Milro is the quarterback at Alabama next year. Going forward,
- 1:50:23I do not think that he's going to be the guy. I think he
- 1:50:26hits the portal and I think he ends up somewhere else, maybe goes back
- 1:50:30to Texas, not necessarily the Longhorns, but he ends up at Houston or
- 1:50:33another program, and I think he's off and gone. And I don't think
- 1:50:38Alabama is going to be immune to attrition. I think that this program will
- 1:50:42have attrition regardless of who the coach is. I mean, I know they're
- 1:50:45trying to keep it intact and keep it in house and hold on, let's
- 1:50:47just hold on. We got your coach, come in, let's talk.
- 1:50:50And I think they will talk. I think they will honor that those players
- 1:50:53will honor Nick Saven with that. But I still think that they will not
- 1:50:56be immune to attrition. They will lose some players. Mil Roue is one
- 1:51:00of them. So to answer your question, if and I will Rogers just
- 1:51:05got to Washington. I mean I think if the boor said, hey,
- 1:51:10you want to go back closer to home, you want to go play one
- 1:51:13year at Alabama, you want to go with me, I think he'd probably
- 1:51:15consider it. I mean that's a big deal. I mean because you think
- 1:51:17about he just had to move up there, he just had I mean,
- 1:51:20any of these guys that move around apartment, get to know, get registered,
- 1:51:25all this stuff. Now you got to pack it up and leave but
- 1:51:29you're going to play at Alabama. You're going to and in a lot of
- 1:51:32people say, why in the world will you take Will Rogers? Well,
- 1:51:34why did he pick a Will Rodgers out of all the transfer quarter quarterbacks?
- 1:51:38Anyway, he obviously felt that was the guy he wanted, that was the
- 1:51:42fit he needed to replace Michael Pennix in his offense. So it's not out
- 1:51:48of the realm of imagination to think that he may say, Hey, won't
- 1:51:53you and Dylan Johnson come go with me? Maybe pick another player or too,
- 1:51:57and hey, y'all, come on, we got so many spots open.
- 1:52:00Let's go play in the SEC. I think it's possible. And then
- 1:52:04again, Will Rodgers may say, I've already moved. I'm going to ride
- 1:52:09it out right here one year, one more. I gotta take a break,
- 1:52:13Will h Joe Montana or Joe Montaigna. Adam Ventitieri was more important than
- 1:52:19Brady in the no. I see you can't do that. I mean,
- 1:52:24he was important. But if you can't say Venetary was more important, can
- 1:52:28you? For two of them? You could, you could argue, but
- 1:52:35someone had to drive him down to the point where Vinetary could hit those field
- 1:52:41goals. That is true. That is true. Hey, We're brought to

- 1:54:30I think tomorrow at some point during the show, we'll be talking about a
- 1:54:33new Alabama football coach. What do you think? Well, the timelines what
- 1:54:40three days? So we keep hearing, well, that'd be kind of like
- 1:54:45a I don't know, but it'd be a kind of like a Friday afternoon
- 1:54:48news dump, news dump, but are certain things able to climb out of
- 1:54:56the Friday news dump and become relevant, Like I think that would oh yeah,
- 1:55:00well, if anything that would be it. Yes, but you're right,
- 1:55:02Typically, be it politics or sport, any negative people dumb it on
- 1:55:08Friday Saturday, and you know what, Okay, it works because no matter
- 1:55:13what, BAMA fans are going to be angry, probably no matter who you
- 1:55:17hire. So if you do it on a Friday afternoon, the news cycle
- 1:55:24the next day we move into the NFL playoffs, So maybe it takes their
- 1:55:28attention away a little bit so they're not quite as angry. You may be.
- 1:55:32Right now, Chris brought up a good point in a friend of mine
- 1:55:35text me. He said, Hey, just putting us out there, Joe
- 1:55:39Montanna never had to come from behind in a Super Bowl? Does that put
- 1:55:43him at a different I mean, look, Joe Montana is one of the
- 1:55:46greatest ever unbelievable. You could make the case nobody ever says this. Well,
- 1:55:50if it wasn't no Joe Montana, there would be no Bill Walsh.
- 1:55:56But Bill Walsh had a stacked franchise. I mean that that forty nine Ers
- 1:55:59team back then was unbelievable, but just something to put out there, Rhino
- 1:56:03on the Cowboy Maloney's text line, Hey, I'm hood at all the way
- 1:56:06and love me some Drew Brees, but Brady is the goat. Seven super
- 1:56:10Bowl wins to go along with ten will never happen again. You know,
- 1:56:14we say that a lot in sports. It never will happen again. But
- 1:56:15I don't know that that's ever gonna happen again. Don't know that that will
- 1:56:20ever happen again, especially the way free agency is the stuff. And think
- 1:56:24about that, Tom Brady and the Patriots with Belichick did this in the free
- 1:56:27agency era that we're still in obviously, where the league is built for mediocrity.
- 1:56:31That's what the league wants, and they did it anyway. Unnamed Texter
- 1:56:36Jake, I think Dan Lanning may come over with Dylan Gabriel just because he
- 1:56:42knows he can win a bunch of games with a season quarterback. Well,
- 1:56:45Dan Lanning took his name out of it today, he said he took his
- 1:56:49name totally out of it. What about mal Zon from a listener, I
- 1:56:56don't think Look, do you think Bama fans would put up with that?
- 1:57:01They put a wall around Tuscalos and keep him out of there, monkey's riding
- 1:57:05dogs? Who knows? It? May just be Butch Jones. He has
- 1:57:12jokes. Where is Butch Jones? Now? What is he doing so even
- 1:57:15coaching high school football? I don't even where he's at. Isn't he an
- 1:57:18analyst at Alabama? You know he may be. I remember at one point
- 1:57:23he became an analyst there and the Nick Saban rehibitabilitation camp. All right,
- 1:57:28let me get over here. And what do you think about Pat maffick McAfee
- 1:57:34bringing Aaron Rodgers back on the day even though and he did actually come back
- 1:57:38on the day. Klay Travis said he didn't. But I'm seeing now after
- 1:57:41our listener said that he was brought Anon Rodgers back on the day, He'll
- 1:57:45turn on ESPN. Let's see here, real unnamed Texter Montana had the comeback
- 1:57:54against the Bengals. Oh he sure did, he sure did? I remember
- 1:57:58that. Now, Ikey would when he was with the Bengals, Ikey Woods
- 1:58:00Boomer Sison that Super Bowl Ikey shuffle Ikey shuffle Man totally forgot. Butch Jones
- 1:58:06is coaching at Arkansas State. Oh that's right, he sure is. Matt
- 1:58:13Daddy says Dabo. I just don't think Dabo seven years ago, I think
- 1:58:20it was a slam dunk on Dabo. Now, I just I can't.
- 1:58:27Nick Saban says he and his wife and their health are fine, that his
- 1:58:30age just caught up with him and he didn't have the energy to do the
- 1:58:33job like he needed to. And he said, that's really it. He
- 1:58:38said, everybody's healthy. I'm healthy. Mystery is healthy. Also, he
- 1:58:41says, quote, I'm going to keep working. I don't want to get
- 1:58:44up in the morning and watch Netflix. I want to do something. I
- 1:58:47probably liked the to do broadcasting, but someone told me once she can't start
- 1:58:53a broadcasting career at eighty. Do you think Nick Saban will be on somewhere
- 1:58:59within a a booth. I don't know that. Nick Saban calls games like
- 1:59:02as a color analyst. Do you think he'd do booth work. I think
- 1:59:06that he probably would. Really named sexter, oh, we got that one.
- 1:59:11Let's see Tiger David Coach quote takes his name out, so we say
- 1:59:17it's done. This is a top job. I may I'm just telling you
- 1:59:20this's what they're reporting. Dan Landing said he's not doing it. Dexter.
- 1:59:28I've heard it's Kalyn de Boer good source. A lot of people like Debor.
- 1:59:31His name has got a lot of traction this afternoon. And Rhino Saban
- 1:59:34will be a draft analyst. That'd be a good thing for him, wouldn't
- 1:59:38it. Maybe he can take mel Kiper's job. Let's see here, what
- 1:59:43else have we missed today? Did we get any other We make sure that
- 1:59:46we don't have any Alabama coaching news here before we get out of here today.
- 1:59:49Hey, how bad is that weather gonna get in the morning? What
- 1:59:57do you think? Yeah, you're the weather man here, you're official weather
- 2:00:00man. My back, my model says it's gonna kick up mid morning.
- 2:00:06We've got almost one hundred percent chance of rain. Well, space Go says
- 2:00:12he almost hit a buck out there, be careful, missed it by foot.
- 2:00:15Now, I don't know how good he is at gauging distance, but
- 2:00:17a foot that's pretty darn clothes. Hey, what was this thing on this
- 2:00:20sp thing you were telling me about telling us about. We never touched it,
- 2:00:24but ESPN faked their way into some awards with some fake names. Been
- 2:00:30doing it for like fifteen years. Yeah no, now, Emmy's memories.
- 2:00:32SP's are fake awards that ESPN doles out too. They can decide whatever they
- 2:00:39want, but Emmy's so Emmy's. It came out that ESPN basically what was
- 2:00:49happening here, And they say this may date back all the way to nineteen
- 2:00:53ninety seven, good lord, but that's definitely been since twenty ten. ESPN
- 2:00:59has had to give back thirty seven Emmys because now this is a it seems
- 2:01:05like a pretty tangled web. But basically from one I understand what was happening
- 2:01:10here. College Game Day was one of the biggest named in this. So
- 2:01:17College Game Day was getting the awards, but ESPN because the the individual hosts
- 2:01:28weren't eligible Corso Herb Street such like that, they weren't eligible, but they
- 2:01:33were so ESPN was submitting fake names to the uh the industry, the place
- 2:01:44that gives out the Emmys. They were using okay, check this out,
- 2:01:49Kirk herb Street. They would use the name Kirk Henry Lee Clark was really
- 2:01:56Lee Curso Corso, Dirk Howard does and Howard Tim Richard, Tom Rinaldi seven
- 2:02:03years Emmy's Stephen Ponder for Sam Ponder. So they were making up these names
- 2:02:10and they would list them because it was for the shows. The individuals weren't
- 2:02:15supposed to win it, but they were listing these fake names and they were
- 2:02:21listing them as associate producers. Therefore, it's a show award, so the
- 2:02:29show would get the award, ESPN would take it. They would have the
- 2:02:32Emmy re engraved to say Lee Corso or Shelley Smith because not a talent,
- 2:02:44yeah, and hand them to the talent. So these talent that you could
- 2:02:48say Emmy Award winning talent, Kirk Kurbstreet, well that wasn't a thing.
- 2:02:54Kirk courve Street was did not win an Emmy, and nobody picked up on
- 2:02:59this until now. Well no, they say it dated back to nineteen ninety
- 2:03:03seven. Who wasn't Linda Cohne. Linda Cone won four Emmys and she posted
- 2:03:10on Instagram She's like, these are my four babies or something, and she
- 2:03:15had a give them back because they she didn't actually win them, and it
- 2:03:18wasn't Allegedly, it wasn't on her, it wasn't on the talent. They're
- 2:03:23trying to say that they weren't involved in this. It was just ESPN.
- 2:03:27So ESPN basically what it boils down to is, in the end, ESPN
- 2:03:30could say, look at all this award winning talent we had, but they
- 2:03:35were really ineligible to win this. ESPN totally fixed it because the Emmy award
- 2:03:42is that these were awards were based on basically production people who Yeah, it's
- 2:03:48basically go to the overall show, the people behind the scenes that make it
- 2:03:53happen, and all that talent was not eligible until they changed the rules in
- 2:03:59I think just this last year they changed the rules. Now talent is eligible,
- 2:04:02but for the thirty seven that they allegedly won, they weren't eligible.
- 2:04:09Good lord, ESPN. It's the over under on deer calls in on space
- 2:04:14Goat. The deer calls in on space space Goat is horrible driving. That
- 2:04:16could probably happen, Jay Rock. The reason they didn't catch it is because
- 2:04:19nobody gives a crap about the Emmys and three Hemp camel sounds about as stupid
- 2:04:25as the Heisman rules. Hey, thanks to drewdy armand Rafe Lasparza in Michael
- 2:04:29Bratton, We'll see you tomorrow. I am sure we will have a new
- 2:04:31Alabama head coach. Remember catch up as King Bacon's a delicacy. A loja
- 2:04:34means goodbye, see them
