  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that one. We've got some stuff going
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: on at BYU and why that situation is different than
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it would be almost anywhere. FBS realignment North Dakota State
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and Sacramento State just in the past week. We're gonna
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: talk some coaching carousel stuff, maybe some early twenty twenty
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: six national titles stuff and more.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: It's football.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I've been watching it for forty years.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? You're listening to Winning Cures Everything?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Game day, baby, Wake up or get out.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, my confident young man, a defirm appley.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Gary Siegers.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Welcome in Winning Cures Everything.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It's College Football Podcast.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Gary Siegers at Gary WCE on X
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on Instagram.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not really active over there.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: On TikTok, I'm really not active over there, et cetera.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: All the socials, Gary WC. If you want to reach out,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and if you want to reach out the old school way,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you can do that too, Gary at Winning Cures Everything
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: dot Com. Ah my goodness, gracious. All right, So there
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: has been a lot going on with me. Not much
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: on the YouTube front. Obviously the season has ended, I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: have started putting out power ratings and whatnot. You can
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: find those over at Buy Me a Coffee dot com,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Slash Winning Cures, or the Easy Way BETTINGCFB dot com.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: But I have put out at first this is my
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: third set of power ratings, and now I have to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: go and do them again. So I did an initial
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: set of power ratings, and then I did another one
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: based on more data returning production data and whatnot. And
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: then I did one that included North Dakota State and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I just most recently, and I guess this would be
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the fifth version, version five point zero, but this one
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we'll have to include Sacramento State, and I well, I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: guess it would still be the fourth version because I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just have to add another team in there. But I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: went through and kind of did some manual overrides due
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to coaching changes and stuff like that. But I mean,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: my goodness, it's it's almost impossible to be able to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: power rate these teams preseason. You've at least got some
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: data from some of the big sports books right now,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but there's not a lot. Right There's a few games,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like for Week one that already have lines where just
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to give you an example with home field baked in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: with all of my information that I had. I had
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: LSU as a ten point three to one home favorite
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: over Clemson in Week one, and I believe that thing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: opened at ten and a half and it has jumped
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: out to eleven and a half, so we'll see. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: feel like some of my stuff is pretty accurate. There's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: other stuff. For example, I've got Michigan favored on the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: road at Oklahoma and or not at Oklahoma. Excuse me,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I have yeah, no, no, no, it's the other Sorry,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it's Ohio State. I've got Ohio State favored on the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: road at Texas in week two, and yeah, the sportsbooks
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: have Ohio State as a two and a half point
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: dog on the road, so that surprised me. But yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you can find some more of that stuff over at
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: buy me a Coffee dot com slash Winning Cures. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: will be updating that thing throughout the off season February
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: all the way through August, and then of course during
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the season. You guys know what to expect over there.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about first, Trinidad Chambliss, the old Miss
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: quarterback got to win over the NCAA in the courtroom
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just last week and he was granted a preliminary injunction
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: by a Mississippi judge and it was this place just
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: south of Bruce, Mississippi. And the judge, of course, was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a very friendly old miss judge. And that's the way
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that the majority of these go. And I don't blame
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: them at all for wanting this thing to happen in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the state of Mississippi. The NCAA knew which direction this
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: was going. They didn't even bother to show up for
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the verdict for the final hearing for any of that mess,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: which is kind of crappy and is a really bad look.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But I believe that they had some people that were
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: trying to go and fight the Joey Aguillar case for
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: basically the same thing. The situation is different, obviously, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the way that those are different, by the way, in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: case you have not been paying attention, you've been hearing that, Oh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Joey Aguilar wants a eight year of eligibill or whatever
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the hell it is. Joey Aguilar, the Tennessee quarterback, wants
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: his JUCO years to not count at all. Trinidad Chambliss
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: was just saying, Hey, I should have been granted a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: medical red shirt back in twenty twenty two. I believe
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it was because he did not play a down and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he blamed it on sleep apnea, and the NCAAA denied
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the request three times, said there was not enough information. Basically,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't go back through any of the stuff that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: was sent to them. And I mean there's even ESPN
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: clips where they talked about how he's got a medical
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: red shirt that season when ESPN broadcast some of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Fairest State games, the D two games, and you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: like I can some understand it, but here's the situation.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: These things. You don't have to win them. You just
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: have to be granted the injunction because the case will
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go on for a year plus because you're gonna go
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: through discovery, you're gonna go through all this all this
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: different stuff, right, and in that time, the quarterback will
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: be able to play the season, he will be able
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to make a gargantian amount of money playing for ole
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Miss next season, and then they'll just drop the case.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: After that, they won't have to worry with it. So
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: as long as you get a preliminary injunction, then you're good.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So Charles Bettiaco was granted. And he's the Alabama center
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: basketball player that had been drafted or not drafted in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the NBA, but he had signed an NBA contract, he
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: had been on a two way deal. He had never
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: played an NBA game, but he had been playing in
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the G League, et cetera.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But he.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Basically got a trow and that lasted for about two weeks.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: He played five games and then they had a judge
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: recuse himself, and the new judge that got put on
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the case basically said, I don't want to be the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: one to just destroyed these NCAA rules, so I'm not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: gonna grant this, and you know, I get it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with the Tennessee case. But with
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: all miss pretty big win now they did. They did
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have Deuce Knight, who was a big time quarterback transfer
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: from Auburn. He was a huge recruit for the Auburn
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Tigers in the twenty twenty five class, played in I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: want to say, three or four games and looked really
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: good against you know, really weak FCS competition, but that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: was about it. He didn't do much else, so there
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: would be no proven quarterback experience on the roster, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this is good for all miss, this is good for
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Pete Golding. This is a big time thing, so we'll
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: see what happens with it going forward. I don't think
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's anything crazy, like, it's not the death of the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: NCAA rules as we know it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It's nothing.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You know, Ole Miss fans absolutely should be celebrating, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody else needs to be terrified of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: this stuff like this is just another step towards getting
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I hope that Congress does this, at least they should.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You got five years to play five seasons. If you
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: can stay healthy for all five, cool, If you want
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to red shirt one of them, cool, whatever you want
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to do. But you got five years. So by the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: time you're maybe you got six years to play five seasons.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe we do something like that. I don't know, but.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's just make it very easy rules and then we'll
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: be good. But this is another step towards that. Because
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the NCAA can't do anything like this unless they get
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: congressional help, they can't stop this kind of stuff. So
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. Next topic on the Board
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: BYU wide receiver Parker Kingston. I'm not going to spend
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: long on this. But he was immediately expelled from BYU
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: amidst a rape charge. And it is a I mean,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: this is a serious situation, first degree felony rape. It
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was in Saint George, Utah in February of twenty twenty five.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He claimed consent, but as soon as it was put
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: out there that not. So you can be suspended from
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: BYU for participating in pre marital sex if you are
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: known to have had relations, as Eddie Murphy would have
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: said in the Nutty Professor, if you had relations, then
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you can be suspended. You can be kicked off the team.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's all sorts of different things that BYU
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: does because of their honor code.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: It's a big code of ethics thing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So Parker Kingston is no longer a student and he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is not on the football team. He was released on
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: bail after hearing. And this is a huge, huge thing,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm curious, like maybe I'm crazy.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Does this.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: We've had a bunch of these happen and maybe it's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just like a football thing. We've had a bunch of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: these happen over the years. And like, don't get me wrong,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not siding with the kid. But I'm just very
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: curious about, like, if you know, I'm not even going
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to go down that rabbit hole. I'm not gonna go
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: down that rabbit hole. Brandon Davies famously, he was a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: BYU basketball player and BYU had an incredible team that season,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and he ended up missing the NCAA tournament, et cetera
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: because it came out that he had had premarital six
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't believe it was any kind of a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: sexual assault situation anything like that. I think it was
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: just that he had it like he and it came
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to light that he had been doing that, and yeah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they suspended him from the team even though they had
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a chance to do really really big things. Every school
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: handles this differently, and with the NFL it's kind of
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the same thing. It's just it's kind of a wait
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and see approach to what is going to happen. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, you know, the transfer portal is closed. Does
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: anybody want to touch this guy? He is an incredible
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: football player, like Parker Kingston is good, great wide receiver,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: but does anybody want to mess with him?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Knowing like what we know now?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Right, So Jake Rhetz laugh a't BYU ended up leaving
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: school and he ended up transferring over the summer. He
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: was like a walk on to Tulane and then let
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: him do the playoffs. So these kind of things happen,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know if he will end
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: up anywhere. I'm sure you got to go through the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: court case and see what happens because people may not
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: want touch him based on this, but very interesting, very
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: interesting stuff. Topic number three, let's talk about FBS realignment.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: North Dakota State is jumping from FCS to FBS and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they were the first ones that decided to do it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and they're going to do it for this season, which
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I have been waiting on the schedules for these G
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: five or G six leagues four forever. It feels like
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: because the Power four all came out and those were
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: later than I really felt like they should have been.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But everybody's trying to figure out. You know, the SEC
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: went to nine games, the ACC has like half of
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: their school going to nine conference games. The schedule is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: just a little goofy. And the Mountain West was wanting
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to wait until they got their TV deal done, but
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: apparently they were also waiting on North Dakota State. Well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: now this week the MAC has included Sacramento State and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Sacramento State, like Northdakota State is having to pay seventeen
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and a half million dollars in fees in order to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: do this. Really really crazy, it's really cool.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Like they they won ten.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Titles in fifteen years in the FCS. I mean, they
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: are an absolute dynasty. And this is a team that
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: is good enough to win the Mountain West this season.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: So we'll start off with the Bison and North Dakota State.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: One could win the Mountain West this year. They are
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that good two. They have put in for a waiver
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: so that they can actually win the title. They can
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: play in the Mountain West title game, and they can
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: be in the postseason. The NCAA has a rule where
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: if you jump up from FCS to FBS, you have
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to wait two years. James Madison most recently went through this.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: They filed a waiver, it was denied. They didn't even
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: get to go to a bowl game in the first
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: two years under ur Signetty. So North Dakota State, however,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: things are a little bit different now because you are
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: having to pay outrageous fees to jump to FBS, So
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: if you want to do it, you have to show
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like you absolutely are capable of competing, et cetera. So
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens North Dakota State. I'm curious, like
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I think they One thing that their beat writers talked
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: about is that the fans were just bored with beating
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the piss out of some of the smaller FCS schools,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: because what was it there, They've got a thirty eight
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: or thirty eight and two record in the Fargo Dome
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in the last four years or whatever. I mean, it's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: just something something crazy, four or five seasons.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It's they just got bored with winning, which is insane
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to think about, but I can understand it because you
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: hype yourself up for football season and then you just
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: beat everybody to death and you've got a game here
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: there where it's like, Okay, we're gonna lose this one
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: because it's not that we're not better than the other team,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it's that our guys are incredibly complacent. Now, careful what
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you wish for, obviously, but going to the Mountain West,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, your most difficult competition is going to be
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: unlv Air force has up and down years. Hawaii is
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: an interesting trip to make, eh. I mean, we're not
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: talking anything crazy in the current Mountain West. I guess
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: New Mexico as so long as Jason Eck is there,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: then that's now. I don't expect him to be there
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: past this season, but still so, Nor Dakota State makes
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the move and we'll see what happens with their transfer
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: waiver as far as 're not transfer waiver, sorry there
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: waiver to participate in the postseason in twenty twenty six
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: because they are now playing FBS ball as of this fall,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and they are a football only member by the way,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So that is what it is. North Dakota State has
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: made an agreement to where they are going to keep
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: everything else where. It is nothing that smart move smart.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I mean football drives the bus, but everything else, you know,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: is what it is. The Sacramento State move was different.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They had been pushing for conferences that were closer to home,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Mountain West, et cetera. And I am shocked that the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Mountain West or the PAC twelve didn't take Sacramento State
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: because one, it's obvious they have the funding, they have
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the infrastructure in place to be able to do this.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: They have.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Everything set up to make the move. It doesn't mean
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that they're going to be good. But also don't think
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I'm curious. I don't know the academic background at Sacramento State,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: so I'm guessing that had something to do with it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: But sign this team up and let them collect a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: check for taking losses. You need somebody to take losses.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of the problem with the SEC
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: right now. There's not enough teams that are okay with
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: taking losses. So it is what it is. But Sacramento
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: State they paid what did I say it was anywhere
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: from like eighteen million to oh no, no, no. It was
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: eighteen million to join the MAC and another five million
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to move from the f CS up to the FBS,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: So twenty three million dollars total. And again we are
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in a weird situation with this conferenceary alignment crap. Northern
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Illinois is leaving the MAC to join the Mountain West.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: The Sacramento State that's over in California that is a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: lot closer is jumping from the FCS to the FBS
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to join the MAC.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Every single road.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Game that Sacramento State plays is going to be over
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: twenty one hundred miles every.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Single road game.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: You were going to have Sacramento State flying all the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: way out to Buffalo, New York, all the way over
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to UMass. I mean, this kind of stuff is outrageous.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And we thought it was a lot for like ACC
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: teams and whatnot. This is crazy for MAC teams. I mean,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: could you imagine a Tuesday night game where Kent State
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: has to go over to Sacramento State. I have no
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: idea what to even think of this. So of course
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: everybody on Twitter jumped our ex excuse me, jumped in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: with the ballsack bowl, ball State and Sacramento State, so
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to see ballsack on your screen. It's just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is goofy. But people are buying their
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: way in. Charlton State is going to be one that
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: wants to move up eventually. I I don't have any
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: real thoughts on this.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I'm just we're at one hundred and thirty eight teams.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants to make sure that they don't get completely
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: left behind. But I think we are going to get
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to a point where and this has to do with
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the CFP as well, you know all that good stuff
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: TV ratings, TV schedules, the scheduling, all that kind of stuff. Eventually,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we are going to get to where we've got about
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: thirty to forty big time.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Programs and they play a different division.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: So right now you've got FCS and FBS, and then
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you'll probably have FCS, FBS lower and then FBS upper,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but it may not be run by the NCAA, And
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing, because they're gonna want
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: different rules, they're gonna want different things because it's it's
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a huge, huge undertaking to try and switch as many
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: things as they are wanting to do because they effectively
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: want this to be a professional league with schools like Alabama,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, Georgia. But they need to have rules in
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: place so that you don't have schools such as Miami
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: or Texas Tech who are just overwhelming and resetting the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: market on certain things. But also we're going to get
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to a point where you're gonna have to have not
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: necessarily employment contracts, but collective bargaining with the student athletes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: And it'll get there. It'll get there.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Topic number four coaching carousel grades. Lot of different places
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: drop report cards. CBS Sports the biggest one, and some
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: interesting grades here. Coyle Whittingham at Michigan got an A.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin at LSU. That one got to be or sorry,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a B plus, so they said witting excuse me, Whittingham
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: was a perfect fit.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: For Michigan. And I don't know that I would go
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: that far.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody deserves a good grade immediately because
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you just don't know what the fit is going to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: actually be. Like Lane Kiffin at LSU, I mean, it's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a B plus, but why on earth would that one
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: not be an A. They LSU went and got the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: most proven available coach in the league that they currently
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: contend in. Who built a roster at a place that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: does not make it to the playoff, but built a
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: roster to make it to the playoff? Really two years
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in a row, didn't you know? Didn't make it last year,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: had some upset losses this year it was not expected,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: but obviously easier schedule, and had a quarterback that just
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: popped immediately. But that's an interesting one. Bob Chesney going
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to UCLA from James Addison and they gave him an A.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Now I don't know that I necessarily understand it. I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: think the job that Chesney did was pretty incredible with
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: getting James Madison to the playoff.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Two years removed from Kurt.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Signetti, Like you want to talk about just a great
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: job overall, because Signetti took all of the best players
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that James Madison had and Chesney didn't miss a beat.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: There was nothing different about it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: He came in and they were still incredible on defense
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and ran a type of offense that you just do
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: not want to play against. So, yeah, I can understand
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: an A. I'd probably give them an A as well,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: like UCLA typically would not be making that kind of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a higher. If I were Penn State, I probably would
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: have brought him in. Matt Campbell going to Penn State
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: from Iowa State. They gave that one a B. Like again,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: everybody kind of said that that was a perfect fit.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Why would that one get a by I don't understand it,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but who knows. Like the grades are just talking points.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: It's just stuff for people to go back and forth on,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and you know it is what it is, like great
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: on whatever you want them to. I ain't that worried
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: about it. Ain't that worried about it, all right, One
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: last thing I did want to hit on. I don't
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: want to spend too long on this.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: But.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: SMU has a schedule set up this year to potentially
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: make it back to the playoffs. They probably should have
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: made it back this year. I mean that late game
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: lost to Cow on the road at the end of
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the year. I mean that was that was about as
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: brutal as it gets, because they would have been favored
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: in the a SEC Championship game over either one of
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: those teams, and they probably would have been the highest rated.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Miami probably would not have gotten into the playoff.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Let's say that because SMU, had they beaten Cow, would
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: have more than likely. Now the ACC gave us a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: lot of surprises this year, but more than likely would
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: have beaten.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: It.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I guess they would have played Virginia and then both
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: of those teams would have been ranked, so the winner
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: of that game would have gone, but either Virginia or
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: SMU would have gone. But anyway, one of the biggest
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: things about SMU is their defense. Their defense has been
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: incredible and Scott Simon's is the guy that has been
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: there since twenty twenty two. He was at Liberty before that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Just a really good defensive coordinator. I mean, the guy
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: is really really good, and he is leaving his defensive
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: coordinator position to go to the Dallas Cowboys as their
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: new inside linebackers coach, and the defensive coordinator with the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Cowboys is Christian Parker. I'm not sure what the connection is.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Obviously they're both right there in Dallas, so it is
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: what it is. Lastly promoted from within Maurice Crumb Junior
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and Ricky Hunley Junior, they're gonna be co defensive coordinators
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and Crumb is now handling the play calling duties. There's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of back and forth between the NFL
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and college football right now, and I mean you can
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: see it with lower just the Super Bowl. Mike McDaniel
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: was a former defense coordinator at Michigan, like heat, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: they just go back and forth, and it's been happening frequently.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this is not super surprising. But I kind
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: of thought that Simon's was going to be in line
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: for some bigger defensive coordinator jobs before moving over to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the NFL. But you move over as an inside linebackers coach,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: get a job as a coordinator somewhere else, and then
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you go from there. So we'll see what goes on
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: with that. All right, we were gonna wrap this thing up.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: We've been going twenty eight twenty nine minutes something like that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: So I've always told you all, I'm not going to
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: do these things forever and ever. I'm not going to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: ramble on. But if you have not already, of course,
