Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:04
Speaker 2: Made it to a Thursday. It's our one. Come on in, stay a while, Marvin's here, Paulie, that's your front row, back row, Seaton and Fritzie, and of course the back room guys as well. We got football coming up ten hours in counting until kickoff Miami and Ole Miss NFL games over the weekend. Trey Young gets traded. Man, It's not that he wanted out of Atlanta. It's Atlanta was going to trade him, and I think he got to pick maybe where he was going to land, and he'd picked Washington for some reason. I don't know how many options he had, but this is one of those where you look at his stats. He led the NBA and assists last year. Like you look at his numbers and you go, of course, Trey Young's a great player. He's not. He has great stats, not a great player, and obviously a liability on defense. And you know, you go back to Jordan Poole got punched in the face by Draymond Green and got traded to Washington. It feels like if you get traded to Washington, you are getting a punch in the face but Trey Young decided that's where he wanted to go. So now he's a member of the Wizards. The artist formerly known as Trey Young. Yes, Paulie, you want to get traded to the Washington Wizards. Do you want to go to a quieter, less relevant place. Well, Atlanta is not a great place for NBA basketball.

00:01:31
Speaker 3: Atlanta has been threatening over the past decade here and there and had some nice teams. The Wizards are ten and twenty six.

00:01:38
Speaker 2: Yep. I you know, unless he wanted to go and he could still be the main guy, He's not the main guy on Atlanta anymore. He not the best player on that team anymore. And they decided that you're going to move in a different direction, and they've got some young players. But I go back to the Atlanta Hawks when Dominique Wilkins, when you had that great team and going toe to toe with the Austin Celtics in the Eastern Conference. You didn't get a great fan base. You got fans who showed up to see the team that was coming into town. And I was there when they were playing in the Omni and I remember you could stop over and move your way down to second, third, fourth, row and watch great basketball, but you know, it's not a great sports town professionally. Even the Braves. I go back to when they were terrible, but they had a nucleus there, like they had a lot of young talent. They just weren't very good, but you could see where they were going to be something. And you'd go to Fulton County Stadium and I got to sit wherever I wanted to. I was working at CNN at the time. It's a college town. They love their Georgia Bulldogs, and rightfully so. But Trey Young out of Atlanta, and this is a guy gets you. Twenty seven and ten used to be hard to find. Twenty seven and ten. Today's NBA feels like it. It's a little more readily available, believe it or not.

00:03:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, there's one issue I got to bring up before we move on to football. I saw an alert yesterday with the Hawks trade. It said Hawks trading Tray Young to the Washington Wizards in blockbuster trade.

00:03:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, one to block.

00:03:15
Speaker 3: I don't think he could use the word blockbuster.

00:03:16
Speaker 2: Well, you have to have another decent player. CJ. McCollum is not blockbuster.

00:03:21
Speaker 3: It's being thrown around a lot blocked.

00:03:22
Speaker 2: It's not a blockbuster. It's not a stunning trade. I saw that headline. It was stunning that maybe he wanted to go to the Wizards, like this is stunning. But yeah, blockbuster, it was just a trade. This has been in the works. You know last year there was talk of trading Tray Young. But you know what those headline riders they got you to click blockbuster deal.

00:03:46
Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin Luca going to the Lakers as a blockbuster, that's a blockbuster, Tray Young. Oh okay, bull time got to come up.

00:03:55
Speaker 2: With a lesser word. How about buster not blockbuster? Eh, it's a bust. Just a trade, yeah, trade young, Ryan Fitzpatrick he will join us on loan from NFL on Prime and Jesse Palmer ESPN College Football an us will join us as well.

00:04:13
Speaker 5: It's kind of like every model is a supermodel. Not really, Oh I know there's a few supermodels. That's not every trade is a blockbuster trade.

00:04:20
Speaker 2: And not everybody is a porn star, right, just character actor in a porn movie. Yeah, sometimes you're a role player. Sometimes Yeah, sometimes it's just a cameo. Thank you, Tom MAT's too.

00:04:34
Speaker 6: Why have we got on this one?

00:04:35
Speaker 2: Well, come up with the poll question, play of the day, stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming. Good morning. If you're watching on peacock, thank you for downloading the opera they INBC Sports Network.

00:04:44
Speaker 5: As a male. Once they start showing your name and face, you've become a star.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three DP Show? Are you guys? Stark? Peter North?

00:04:53
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:04:53
Speaker 2: Whoa, I'm breaking it down? I'm sorry?

00:04:56
Speaker 5: Am I still going with the wrong story? Left out of the day?

00:04:59
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Pennini America, the official trading cards of the DP show. Todd has wondered if you ever wiped with a piece of dry toilet paper and wondered, is this is as good as it gets? And I said no, Todd, because the extra large plushable Dude Wipes are available. Wetter is better available at Amazon major retailers nationwide. Dude Wipe's best clean pants down? Come up with a pole question. Oh, by the way, you know the whole transfer portal here the Washington quarterback Demon Williams who signed a contract with Washington and then all of a sudden decided to put his name in the portal. I don't know what the language is, but once again you got all the grownups who have totally screwed this up, because you can fix college football. I mean not totally, but you can fix it that it works for everybody and there's no gray area, and that's what you have. I don't know if you sign a contract that a team another school can't, you know, tamper with you. But LSU was tampering with Demon Williams, the great court back, and he signs a contract. Now he's in the portal, and word is that he's going to end up at LSU. I don't think you can punish the kid because he decided, yes, I sign a contract, But now you're going to force him to go back to Washington. It's just not going to happen. They might penalize LSU for reaching out to a kid who's signed a contract, but I don't know what these contracts are like. They should be standardized that if you sign the contract, then you are beholding to that school for that year. Because he's probably getting paid, got a signing bonus. He's going to have to pay that back. But there's once again, this is going on and it's going to continue to go on. And somebody says, hey, I got an idea here. You'll get some smart people together and you can solve a lot of this, whether it's when the season starts, when the season ends, when coaches can lead the transfer portal, nil electives, and it's crazy. It is crazy out there and going to continue to get until somebody says, hey, I got some ideas. Would somebody listened to me. By the way, I brought up the transfer portal with Brendan Soresby, he was Cincinnati's quarterback. He's going to Texas Tech. I was initially told that he's getting five million dollars a year. Now I find out it's five point nine to eight, so almost six million dollars a year to go to Texas Tech. Texas Tech, I believe spent seven million dollars on their defensive line last year, maybe their offensive line. But if I look at cam Ward number one pick, he made eight point eight million dollars, and you got Brendan Soresby's going to make almost six million dollars. So cam Ward the number one pick eight point eight seven million dollars in the NFL, and you've got a quarterback in college making almost six million dollars. And then you got the Layne Kiffin situation where Lane is getting paid. If Old Miss continues to win, Lane wins. Jimbo Fisher had some strong words to say about Lane Kiffin leaving Old Miss when they were in the playoffs and now at LSU. It's selfish, that's what it is. It's stupid.

00:08:26
Speaker 8: And because here's why I say that, he wanted the coach and thought he didn't get his way. So everybody get on the plane with me. You don't have a job, all right. He makes them all go. Then he gets down there and takes a pr hit because it looks bad that you really don't care about the kids. Then he says, okay, you can go back. But here's where he screwed up. He thought they were gonna lose. He thought they were gonna lose a Georgia. Now the portal thing was all over with, and it was gonna be all over with. He said, oh, I'll look like a hero. Now he's got egg on his face because the real Lane came back out, you know what I'm saying. And he's And if those guys were allowed to coach a first game, they should be allowed to coach before. Because those guys are doing those kids are doing something that you get one time in your life to air or do okay.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: The college football has created this situation. Why can't we get to a point where the end of the college football season if we make it earlier, and then Lane Kiffin goes to LSU. He wasn't going to pass up LSU great opportunity, I get it, but I wouldn't have let him coach Old Miss. And now I think because he took an incredible pr hit, that's when Lane goes, well, i'll loan you, you know, the coaches back, and keep in mind, reportedly when he was going to LSU said to his coaches, you're either on the plane or you're not. So they made a fast getaway and then all of a sudden, I think Lane thought that Old Miss wasn't going to go this far, that they would lose to Georgia. And then hey, you know what, man, we had a really good year and I wish them well and you know, go Tigers, but you have this game coming up tonight and if if you're Lane kiffen, I know if you win, if Old Miss wins, you you win with money, but you don't win. I don't think with public perception of this because then it's going to be well, they're winning without Lane Kiffin. Now he helped build this team. And I'm wondering how we're going to look at what if Old Miss wins the national title and they can they're in the final four. How are we going to view Lane Kiffin when it's all said and done. Is it going to be Lane kiffen one national championship on his resume? Does he get a national championship asterisk? Does he get part of a national championship? Does he get a ring? Is he part of the ceremony? But Lane miscalculated, Yes, he was going to take the job. I think he thought Old Miss was going to lose earlier. Therefore this doesn't hang and it's there. And then when I saw that Lane was maybe going to join the broadcast or be part of the pregame, I go, no, no, let these kids have their moment. You could have had it. You chose to take the money and run, and then you decide to loan out your assistant coaches, which that's very generous. It's nice. I'm glad that those assistant coaches are able to help. And I can't help but root for Old Miss just because of the story. It's wild, but I hope Lane knows stay in your lane. See what I did with that ton very clever. Thank you, Stay in your lane. Root from Afar. Hopefully you're rooting for Old Miss to win and you also get a million dollars.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, And this story could be in play for years. If Old Miss happens to win the national title. I think publicly Lane Kevin's going to get very little credit, even though he built this program up. But if he does not win a title at LSU and Old Miss happens to win one, it'll be on his resume forever.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: Oh okay. If Old Miss wins, well, even Old Miss where they are now, LSU's got to match this next year. Like it feels like the pressure and Lane knows that Lane will recruit. Lane is a really good coach, but he doesn't. He hasn't won anything when you think about it. The Raiders was a mess, USC was a mess, Tennessee was a mess.

00:12:23
Speaker 9: You know.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: Old Miss. I thought, was man, stay there, and I get it. It's easy for me to say something or play with other people's money. I go back to that documentary that The Mothership did and I if you would have bet. I would say, Man, that guy is as happy as he's ever been. But it's rare when you find the coach who doesn't. And I liken it too. If you've ever lived in New York City, you get an apartment and you immediately start looking for your next apartment because there's always going to be a better apartment. And that's what coaches do. Hey, this is good. Wait what's he getting? Wait? Is that going to be open? And that's what Lane does. LSU's not gonna be his final stop, but that's just who he is. He's always going to be on the move. But I'd love to have a camera on Lane Kiffin tonight as he watches this game. Yeah, ton so in a purely honest moment.

00:13:23
Speaker 4: I know there's a little extra money attachment, but with the kind of millions he's making, it's not gonna change his lifestyle much.

00:13:27
Speaker 6: If they win in another game or two. Does Lane kiffen want ole Miss to win tonight and win the national title without him?

00:13:34
Speaker 2: We could talk about that, but that game coming up tonight, it's ole Miss and Miami, and Miami to be as physical like you go back to the U when they were they were really physical. This team run the football and they play defense. And to see Ohio State be out physical, it's like watching Alabama against Indiana and you're like, wait a minute, what is happening here? Well, this is this is the new college football. All it takes is you know a somebody really rich who wants to help you change the roster. Mark Cuban is helping Indiana. You got a billionaire helping Texas Tech. These kids don't want to stay as the third string quarterback in Alabama anymore. Oregon's got Nike. And as I told you, college source said, you either have oil money or tech money. That's what you need today. And if you're spending fifty million dollars like you've got to keep up with everybody, it's it's close to forty to fifty million dollars and it's not sustainable. And the grownups allowed all of this to happen. Hey, I applaud Brendan Soorsby to get almost six million dollars.

00:14:52
Speaker 3: Good for you. I hope you produce. Yeah, Pauling, can Warren Buffett help out Nebraska? They make some calls to Uncle Warren. He's ninety five, he just retired.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta help the oscars on you know, do they need my helm? Yes, they do. They could use your help.

00:15:10
Speaker 9: One.

00:15:11
Speaker 2: How about we take a break, got phone calls coming up. Jesse Palmer and h or Is pretty likes to say the dreamy Jesse Palmer. He'll join us a little bit later.

00:15:20
Speaker 6: Hours a private chatow on the public laundry.

00:15:23
Speaker 2: You watch Bachelor and Bachelorette. I do not. I do not.

00:15:27
Speaker 6: He's as handsome as ever on those shows. Let's call it.

00:15:29
Speaker 2: That's the problem. He's too handsome, too handsome, like the host can't be more handsome than the batchelorah.

00:15:35
Speaker 6: The women want to get picked by him?

00:15:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Paul.

00:15:38
Speaker 3: It's like Brady with the Raiders. The best quarterback can't be in the front office.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: Todd McShay Draft Expert put out his mock draft and he talked about Dante Moore, the Oregon quarterback, and he was saying, hey, if he was him, nobody wants to play for the Jets. Well, if you're going to be the second pick overall, Now, I would hope that Dante Moore would go back and play a little bit more. Because I've talked about this, I gotta have at least thirty to thirty five starts, maybe even a little more than that, to get a true sense of just how good you're going to be, because too many teams make this same mistake. Hey, that guy had a great season, Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, that's not enough. You got to have at least thirty to thirty five starts in college football. Now, I can go to Bo Nicks, Jayden Daniels, they had over fifty starts and you have that bonus COVID year though, but Dante Moore, should he go back to Oregon? Well, I'm curious the end result of the playoffs. Let's say wins the National Championship. Could he supplant Fernando Mendoza as the number one pick in the draft. It would be really difficult to pass up on that. If you're Dante Moore, and from what I've seen, he looks like he's a really good quarterback. But you know the UCLA situation where you get injured, you're not playing, and then you end up at Oregon. Oregon can make you look a whole lot better than maybe what you are. I mean, Dylan Gabriel, they played a lot again games and they won a lot of games. He's probably a career backup quarterback in the NFL. Bo Nix went to a couple of different places, and you're playing big time football. You know when he transferred to Oregon and he's proven that he's probably a franchise quarterback. Joel Klatt, Fox college football analyst, on the advice that he would give to Dante Moore.

00:18:27
Speaker 12: If Dante Moore called me today and he said, hey, like, what should I do? I wouldn't blink an eye. I would say go back to school, because it's no longer just a financial decision. He can make life changing money at Oregon much less than National Football League.

00:18:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had those comments with Colin Cowherd. Yes, you can make four or five million dollars. Now you want to get into that second contract when you get to the NFL. But now you're kind of making that amount of money. Three point five four four point five. You got Oregon in the semi finals here, What if you play for a championship? What if you win a championship? But I don't see these kids going, hey, I don't want to play for the Jets. Like, get some point the Jets will be a decent team, competitive team. I really feel that way.

00:19:21
Speaker 9: Now.

00:19:21
Speaker 2: It might not be in my lifetime, but I'm just saying that there will be a moment where the Jets can actually be formidable if they start making these smart draft picks, these smart decisions here. But Dante Moore, I haven't seen enough of him where I go, Boy, that guy can't miss, Because it feels like every time I feel like there's a guy who can't miss, he misses. But that's why I go back to give me thirty five starts now, I got a good sample size. But going to the Jets, going to the Raiders, I mean, nobody's saying to Fernando Mendoza, hey, don't go to the Raiders. Well, the Raiders are just as much of a mess as the Jets are. The Raiders had the worst offensive line in football. You don't even know if Ashton gent is going to be great. You know Bowers will be and you might trade Max Crosby. So what do you got do you go to the Jets? Okay, I mean the pressure's on, but it's not like the pressure's on that you got to be great. Hey, you just got to be better than the Giants to start out with. The Raiders are in the toughest, one of the toughest divisions in football, But nobody is saying Fernanda Mendoza, don't go to the Raiders. We know what he can do, and we heard that from Dan Orlovsky. Like the ability to be able to make these decisions at the line of scrimmage, that's the NFL. I don't know if Dante Moore is able to do that. Like Ty Simpson with Alabama, I would say go back, but then Obama might say you know what, you can go, we got another quarterback coming in. That's what happens. It's quick because now you can get a replacement. It doesn't have to be on your roster. You can just put it out there and go, anybody want to play quarterback at Alabama? Here's the price, and then you're going to get a lot of applicants there. It's not like, well, the backup is going to be there. Fernanda Mendoza's brother is his backup at Indiana. They went out and got another quarterback. He's not even guaranteed of getting that opportunity. They're like, no, no, no, we're big time football. Now, we got money. We're going to go out and get another quarterback here. Yeah, PAULI do.

00:21:44
Speaker 3: You think Ty Simpson of Alabama looked at the landscape and said, yeah, I'm the third best quarterback right now, and that's a good position to be in in this draft. I may have to go late first, early second, but the downside is you come back like you said, and you don't get the reins.

00:22:00
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean we've seen this Drew Awler at Penn State. Remember he was going to be a big deal. He might be the best quarterback in college and then all of a sudden he wasn't And does his name come up at any point? It's quick, man, it's quick. You're really good, you're the guy, and then you are not the guy, or you get injured or the team's not as good, and then you try to come back. I get it if ty Simpson thinks that. And look, you have he's probably had an agent for the last three years. But if you're leaning on people to give you information, and one of my sources has been asked to give information to agents and he doesn't want to do that because he has information that he has to give to teams, not to agents, and the agents want to know, Hey, can you give me a sense? Can you give me a And that's what they that's what they ask, Hey, where do you think best case scenario? Worst case scenario? And do I think Ty Simpson wasn't that long ago where we were talking about maybe maybe late first round. Then all of a sudden you hear he's probably a second day, third day draft pick here and Paul, you're right. You know, if you're the third quarterback, okay, chances are you're going to go a little bit higher than you need to or you should.

00:23:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauling, the Pittsburgh Steelers had the twenty first first pick of the draft. That could be a position where you go to a better franchise, a more stable franchise, you might have a better chance to have a better career.

00:23:45
Speaker 2: I just don't know. I mean, I watched him and he's smooth, but you know, you're at Alabama. It's kind of hard not to be good at some of these schooling like Ohio State. It's really I thought Justin Fields was going to be a great quarterback because I saw him in college and I go, he's a great quarterback, and all of a sudden, you go, I don't know if he could throw the football in the NFL? Yeah.

00:24:10
Speaker 5: Do you know if the type of agent that a college football player can have is different than an NFL type agent like.

00:24:17
Speaker 2: You're allowed to have like that.

00:24:19
Speaker 5: You know, there's a marketing agent that gets you like brand deals, but that sometimes that isn't the same thing as the agent who negotiates your contract with the team. That's a different guy.

00:24:30
Speaker 2: I don't know that.

00:24:31
Speaker 13: Yeah.

00:24:31
Speaker 2: I don't know either.

00:24:32
Speaker 5: I wonder if there's a if there's a difference when you're in college and like the the brand type marketing agent helps with your NIL deals. But is there that, like more traditional sports agent that would be negotiating contracts and stuff.

00:24:49
Speaker 2: Well, I would want to get in bed early, so I would want to if I'm one of these big time agents, I'll negotiate your contract at Alabama or Oregon because then I want negotiate your contract when you get to the NFL. I want to start early instead of wait till you get to the NFL.

00:25:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul scenes right on this, and that there's different types of agents. The traditional agent from like CAIA that rep Patrick Mahomes and the top quarterbacks in the draft. Then there's NIL specific agencies that have been just blowing up in the past five years that handle college guys specifically.

00:25:25
Speaker 2: Get some phone calls in here, we'll settle on a poll question each seven to seven three DP show played the day coming up as well. Ryan in Pennsylvania, Good morning, Ryan, what's on your mind?

00:25:36
Speaker 9: Hello there.

00:25:41
Speaker 14: I just had two kind of questions. One would be Lane kiffinst coaching for six years there at all, Miss. I would wonder how many coaches have been at the same place for six years, whether it's at the sec or the big Man.

00:26:00
Speaker 9: I don't know.

00:26:00
Speaker 14: I was just curious because it seems like kind of a long time.

00:26:03
Speaker 2: These days it is for Lane, But you're right, six years is a long time. But that's where you get to six years are you more likely to go or less likely to go? And I thought Laine had kind of figured it out, he had finally figured it out. Now he's going to be. He's a villain. He's going to be, and I'm fine with that. But he's going to be. I don't know if there's other villains out there, but you know he's coming to town and can't wait for Lsu to play Old Miss in Oxford next year. But six years that seems like an eternity nowadays. But you're always wanting to be ahead of the situation. You're always like that, that seems like it's better than this one. What if I have an eight and five year how many eight and five years can I have before they're going to want to get rid of me? How long can you be on scholarship? I mean, we see this happened. It doesn't take long. It can be a year or two years and all of a sudden we're like, yeah, you know, what I'm trying to move on here, Chris and Syracuse. Hi Chris, what's on your mind?

00:27:10
Speaker 9: Hey? Thanks? Dan?

00:27:11
Speaker 15: Yeah, a couple of comments off the Lane Kiffin. You know what you guys were talking about, whether he's root and for him to win tonight. I bet you he's not. You know I heard something who knows if it's true, but that he is purposely texting Charlie Weiss Junior during meetings that he's in. So yeah, I would say he's not. And I like Old Miss tonight. Their offense moves with such pace and when they throw the ball they get rid of it so fast. I think that will Negate that Miami pass rush. And Dan, I'm echoing what you were saying in the first segment. I totally agree. I don't think lank Kiffen ever dreamed that Old Miss could have made it this far, and if he did, he would have stayed.

00:27:48
Speaker 16: And if Old Miss wins.

00:27:49
Speaker 15: The national championship, every year Lane Kiffin is at LSU and they go without a title.

00:27:54
Speaker 13: He is going to be dogged by the fact that he had won at Old Miss and he chose to leave it the two minute warning for LSU, and he'll never forget that. The media will never let him forget that, and it really could define his coaching legacy.

00:28:08
Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris. Miami is favored by three and a half tonight. Oregon is getting three and a half against Indiana tomorrow night. Indiana is the big favorite to win it all, followed by Miami Oregon, and then old miss Michael in Ontario. Hey, Mike, what's on your mind?

00:28:27
Speaker 9: Yeah? Six three in a piece used to be six five in a piece. A marathon is one point fifty eight and eighty Come my next birthday in March. Anyway, I go back to football when John McKay was tearing my heart out at USC and Gary Began was winning the Heisman Trophy when I was in college. But I think that nil is going to end the SEC as we now know, it is a real power conference, simply because five of the ten poorest states in the United States are up the SEC. Texas is the only in Georgia, the only really affluent states. They just don't have the money.

00:29:08
Speaker 2: Well, all it takes is a billionaire, as I mentioned, Michael, But thank you. Yeah, And once again, I'm just going by what a source told me. You got tech money or oil money, and if you don't have that, you better have a sugar daddy who's willing to spend that kind of money. And look, we wondered for a while. Mark Cuban went to Indiana and he is a multi billionaire, and we thought, man, is he going to get involved in Indiana Indiana sports? And I thought maybe basketball? And now the report comes out that he was helping finance the Indiana football program. And that's all it takes. You just got to get somebody to give you the other money, because the other money separates you. That's where all of a sudden, you can be on par with Georgia in Alabama because it used to be they had money or they had people who were willing to spend money, and you could get players keep players. Now I mean Texas Tech, they're spending money, They're spending oil money. You spend almost six million dollars for your quarterback.

00:30:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, more t Boom pickets. He's coming from the grave right now. Well, I'd said for years that's all it would take. He wanted nothing more than Oklahoma State to be a power and they had really a couple of really good years.

00:30:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they just couldn't get over the hump.

00:30:35
Speaker 2: But that's why I thought. And there's so much money that can be handed out without it being discovered, or you know, we can do it in a clandestine way. There's money, there's money to be made, and the players know it, parents know it, agents know it, everybody knows it, and they're going after it. But where does it stop? Because is it sustainable? Can you continue to pay this kind of money? Is Congress going to get involved in this? You know, college football is waiting for Congress to help them out, like they've made such a mess and they're like, how do we get out of this Congress? That's what they're waiting for Congress to clean this up. And it's unfortunate except for I was told last night, do you know how much time everybody talks about the NFL and coaches hired and fired? All of this has nothing to do with the games. Here we are talking about college football, and it has nothing to do with the games. College football loves this. College football has never had this kind of attention. Now you can say, do you want kind of messy attention? Now? There are people subscribe to the fact that there's no such thing as you know, bad publicity. I disagree with it, but college football is being talked about.

00:31:57
Speaker 4: Yes, Mark, college football has a WW type of feel to it because the storyline might be better than the game and that's all that's about.

00:32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, Paul, I.

00:32:07
Speaker 3: Would argue back with that last college that's the SEC will drop because some of the states in the SEC aren't big money states. You only need one or two billionaires to step up. And in the states like Arkansas, the Walton family is involved. They've got unlimited funds. So and also billionaires in the SEC states are much more likely to be involved in their school or local school. Kenny Dillingham of Arizona State last week said I need a billionaire to step up. In Arizona, college football might not be as big of a priority as it is in Arkansas or Alabama or Mississippi or Georgia.

00:32:39
Speaker 2: Clearly it isn't well if the Walton family has given money to Arkansas better that's for receipts. Yeah, yeah it is. Arkansas isn't any good where you know when you'd spend the money, like Kentucky would spend money in basketball years ago, but they knew that that team was going to be playing for a national championship. And I go back to this, you know, mid seventies with Kentucky basketball. I mean, I don't know what Adolph Rupp was doing, but you know, I can only guess. You know, you were spending money UCLA with John Wooden. You had a sugar daddy, I mean, Kareem went from New York to LA you know, so they always seem to get that great, great player or two. How are they doing that? Yeah, we always looked at John Wooden and we go, oh, Many's such a cute guy. And you know, meanwhile, you had Sam Gilbert, who you know, handing out money.

00:33:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marvin, I love Chamberlain going from Philadelphia to Kansas. There's no college basketball lineage in Philadelphia.

00:33:42
Speaker 2: Huh uh, let's take a break. Phone calls coming up. Ryan Fitzpatrick will join us a little later on, and uh who else is gonna join us? Oh that's right, Jesse Palmer.

It's your play of the day, brought to you by the Huttest Rookiees' biggest superstar, the old time Great's the only place to collect them all Panini Trading Cards Official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. You can start a continue collection now Paniniamerica dot net. These are the coaches who have been at their current schools for six years or more. Actually I'll make it five years. Kirk Farrence He's been at Iowa twenty seven years. Dabo Sweeney Clemson seventeen, Dave Dorn NC State thirteen years, Jeff Monkin at Army twelve years, Pat Nardozi at Pittsburgh eleven years, Kalani Satak at byu IS ten years, PJ. Fleck Minnesota nine, Jeff Traylor University of Texas, San Antonio six years, Brett Beilima at Illinois five years. Also, here's a comp for you, is Lane Kiffen the John Caliperi of college football. Now, cal Perry did win a national championship, but John was at U Mass Memphis, Kentucky now Arkansas much more successful. But you know, you get that same kind of personality there. And John's doing a good job at Arkansas, but didn't do a great job at Kentucky. With all the talent that he reminds us that I say to him, stop reminding people of all the talent you had that you only won one national title. Nobody cares that you got guys that have made a collective billion dollars in the NBA.

00:36:40
Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin, if Lane Kiffin got Florida Atlantic to the national title game, then all right, I would give you that comparison, because look at what Cali party did you Mass, You've been Amherst, I've been Amherst.

00:36:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, Memphis.

00:36:54
Speaker 6: You haven't heard about them since?

00:36:55
Speaker 2: Yeah? Keith and Charlotte. Hi, Keith, what's on your mind today?

00:37:00
Speaker 7: Hey, Dan, thanks for calling me back again. Yeah, hey man, why'd you have to bring up that Charlotte game last night?

00:37:07
Speaker 2: But I'll move on. That was a tough one to watch.

00:37:11
Speaker 7: Hey, So, I think I called around my birthday, which was November the fifth, and I made a bet to the group about the Panthers making the playoffs for a pile of the face. You guys waffled a little bit, or at least seat and waffled a little bit, and then he looked up the stats and he eventually took the bets.

00:37:29
Speaker 16: I think he owes me a pile of the face, pie.

00:37:32
Speaker 5: Of the face seating. Okay, sure, got an. I don't remember a lot of the bets. I don't either, but I probably did. Yeah, that sounds like something I would do. I think I got to get.

00:37:42
Speaker 2: A designated pie guy that that he writes down all of these bets. Paulio's a pie for the arch. Manning is going to breeze to the Heisman and be the number one pick in the draft. I don't know if anybody, yes, Marv, oh you do you kind of Arizon? Okay, Yeah, I think we have a way on.

00:38:04
Speaker 5: The website that we could actually start tracking then, Yeah, I'm gonna investigate this a little bit. I think that we actually have a way to track.

00:38:10
Speaker 2: These Mike in South Bend. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?

00:38:16
Speaker 17: A little bit earlier you had talked about that the n CULA is waiting for Congress to do something for them. Is that, like the blind and eating the blind? More dysfunctional than is us Congress?

00:38:31
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Mike. I can only tell you what I've been told that college football it's one of those where you go, what happened? You know, It's like you wake up after a long night of drinking and you kind of survey the situation and you're like, what happened here? It feels like that's college football. What happened here?

00:38:53
Speaker 17: Now?

00:38:53
Speaker 2: You need somebody to clean it up, You need a fixer to come in.

00:39:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, I can remember we came in the day after Manzell was on the cover of Time magazine maybe twenty twelve, Time to pay college athletes, and we were discussing. We're like, it's going to be at least five or six more years or seven, and we thought it'd be like some type of minimum wage to perform in your sport.

00:39:17
Speaker 2: We really did.

00:39:17
Speaker 3: I remember that show and then it went from zero to one thousand, a zero to millions.

00:39:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and there's no end in sight because but all you need is a couple of smart people to get together and say, how about we saved college football from itself? Jeff in San Antonio, Good morning, Jeff, what's on your mind?

00:39:42
Speaker 16: Good morning DP. Thanks for the callboy. You have started to go way off course today. But you guys were talking about my Raiders last couple of days. I wasn't able to get insis wanted.

00:39:49
Speaker 9: To get in real quick.

00:39:49
Speaker 16: Okay, you want to Alaski, you want Oloski saying it could be like a three four years before they turn it around. But we have plenty of evidence. You know Texans, Broncos, Patriots Andanders they can turn it around a couple of years. You know, Raiders have a chance to get a franchise TV, a nice, young, offensive minded coach. We've got Tom Brady in the room, plenty money in freegency. I think there's some hope.

00:40:12
Speaker 2: You got to have a good organization. I don't know if Tom Brady can make an impact as an owner. I have no idea. John Elway didn't in Denver. You got to get your coach, and these teams that you're mentioning got their coaches and they got their quarterback. You need an offensive line, yeah, the worst offensive line in football. That's not easy to just go We're gonna have a quick rebuild here. By the way, there are one hundred and thirty six head coaches in FBS football as of this morning. The average stay go ahead, PAULI, I'll let you start, the average tenure of all one hundred and thirty six FBS head coaches.

00:40:58
Speaker 10: Three point six years, Marvin two point eight years, Todd two point four years, Seaton four years, three point one three.

00:41:10
Speaker 2: On the move or looking to be on the move.

00:41:13
Speaker 5: Is that because they're leaving or getting fined?

00:41:15
Speaker 2: Well, could be both. Ryan Fitzpatrick will join us coming up. You know he went to Harvard. Jesse Palmer will join us as well. Hour two on the way
