Speaker 1 (00:04):
A message out of Oxford.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
After next week's Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State,
the school will release a statement on the future of
Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Why can't you just do it now? Such a tease?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Why would you put a statement out there saying like, hey,
we have nothing right now, but we'll give it to you, Like.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What's going to change between now and next Saturday Friday?
Whenever they play.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
No no Offense Andy, but win or lose against Mississippi State.
I don't think that's gonna have any bearing on whether he's.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Either staying or he's leaving.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, and if he's staying, you announced he got an extension,
and he goes to practice today and his teammates are
all his team is thrilled. If he's leaving, then his
teammates are going, well, why don't we even need to
bother about the Egg Bowl or the CFP.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Let's just mail in the season.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Our coach is So, if you're not staying, then why
don't you just say you're not staying and move on
and let the interim coach coach the next two.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Games, just keeping them on a leash.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It really is because like that also affects because the
portal window opens up some.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Time in December. Well, no, it's now January. It's only
one time.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's only only one time, so they they have time
for that. But he's either going to LSU, Florida or
he's staying put. And if he's staying put, why can't
you just say he's staying put?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I do know apparently that his son enrolled in high
school in Baton Rouge. Apparently that's like that's like a
something that was circulated out there.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, but that doesn't mean he's going. Did he also
enroll in Gainesville? Just in case his dad changes his mind?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
All I did was I saw I saw something out
there online that apparently his son enrolled at at some
place in Baton Rouge, some kind of high school or
something like that. But to be fair, just because your
son is in high school there, do I mean nestily
you will be.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So let me let's go this route.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
They win the Egg Bowl, they're not in the in
the SEC Championship game, and it's say it's A and
M and Alabama, or A and M and Georgia or
A and M and whoever, and but they're gonna be
in the CFP.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You know if they beat.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
If they beat Mississippi State, they're gonna be one of
the twelve teams. So how do you not want to
coach that team in the Egg Bowl?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I mean in the CFP.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
If you're Lank Kiffin, are you are you gonna divorce
yourself from LSU or or to LSU or Florida and
all you built all year long? And I listen, I
think ole Miss is a really good team. What the
team I saw when the half a game I saw
them play against OU They played really, really well. In
(02:41):
this nonsense that Venables said the best team didn't win
that day, Well, the best team that day was ole Miss.
And it was very clear that the best team that
day was ole Miss because they came into your house
and pushed you around a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So I think ole Miss is a good team.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And let's say they're the sixth seed and they're playing
the eleventh seed b YU. I think they could beat them,
and especially if they get a home game. So, and
if you're Lane Kiffin, you're gonna bring most of your
coaching staff with you probably wherever you go. So why
are you not going to coach the CFP game? And
the rest of your staff would so I don't understand
(03:21):
why this announcement even needs to be made until you're
eliminated from the from playing football anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
This year, Yeah, they put wait, they put way too
much pressure on this stuff that happen like before recruiting,
because like it's all jumbled up, like coaches announced they're
leaving for.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The Well, here's the thing that's got to go. And
I and I know why, I know why they do it,
but this December signing period thing for high school players.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Has got to go.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We need to go back to February only. We need
to not do any You can recruit all you want,
you can commit who, you can commit all you want,
but you don't need to have that first Wednesday in
February needs to be as sacred holiday as it was
forever when it comes to signing players. And the reason
why they have that December sixteenth or eighteenth day, whatever
(04:04):
it is every year is because coaches get somebody committed
and signed and then or committed and they can't sign,
and then over the Christmas break when they don't have
any contact with them, somebody talks them out of the
signing and now they've got to startle over in January
and go from there. To me, you should have contact
all you want until a week before Christmas and then
you can't talk to them again until the Monday after
(04:27):
the first of the year, or if the Monday is
on the first, the second of the year, and then
you can you have six or seven weeks before you
have to I guess yes, you have five weeks before
signing period. So to me, we gotta get and that
would stop all this because it's not fair to Lane Kiffin.
It's not fair to Mississippi, and it's not fair to
the old miss players for them to note to have
(04:50):
this idea. Well, coach is leaving, and what if they
lose the the Egg Bowl because their players are definitely
going to be distracted. Their players gonna have to look
at all the Twitter messages. This is pretty simple. If
you're not staying put, then tell us you're you're you're
gonna you're thinking about leaving and just go now. And
if you are staying put, why can't you announce it now?
(05:12):
That's to me, he's gone and he has to decide
whether he wants Baton Rouge or Gainesville, and Ole Miss
has been told that, and they're gonna let him coach
the Egg Bowl, and then they're gonna figure out who's
going to coach the rest of the year, and it
likely will distract Old miss to the point to where
they have one of their best seasons in recent history.
That's going to go down the tubes because Lane Kiffin
wants to go someplace else and apparently they've offered him
(05:35):
the same money that he would get at either place.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, I need to clear something before we move on,
because I know we have other things we need to
get to. His son, Knox, was apparently touring other high
schools in the Baton Rougierrea. He hadn't actually signed up
there yet, So that's that I declared. I had to
clarify the report that I saw.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, I'm assuming he's going to try to go to
a private school and not public school in Baton Rouge
that can afford it, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Wow, I don't know bat Rugian has private school.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh yeah they do. They every place has private school.
I guess so.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But either either way, I haven't seen anything about him
be Town Gainesville.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
That's the thing. Yeah, Well who cares, who knows?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
But I don't know if what you've done at Ole
Miss can be duplicated as long as you know that
the money is continuing. If you're willing to pay for things,
you're going to be successful as an institution. And you
don't get this roster that Lane Kiffin is built now
without paying your players, at least paying them to stay.
And so I don't know why he doesn't think he
(06:33):
can't continue this at Old Miss and that LSU is
going to give him a better chance. It basically comes
down to in every league, if your team is invested,
you have a chance to win.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
If your team is not invested. In JOY fourth place.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's pretty much where you're at, or in the SEC
eighth place because the first six or seven teams are
one thousand percent all in. All right, let's switch gears
a second to shed Or Sanders first start in the NFL.
He's going to play Sunday in Vegas, and so there's
a lot of people that are going to look at
this game to see what he does.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But let's not.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Get the annoying a lot even if he has a
good game, because other than Max Crosby, the Raiders aren't
that great. They're a two and eight team. They looked
terrible last week. Was it the Money Night football game
against Dallas. Dallas shredded them And I don't know if
that was Dallas's coming out party or what, but it
was also a bad team that they were playing, and
they should have won, and they should have won by
(07:30):
the same or even a bigger margin. So even if
Shaduor has a great game, let's also know it's against
an inferior opponent to most of the rest of the league.
I hope he has a good game. I'd like to
see him shine. The one thing my only issue with
Shaduur is I would I would like for him to
stop being should do Or the celebrity and just be
(07:52):
shaud Or the football player. I understand you want to
go out that you're and only because you can. You
like to go out and buy fifty sixty seventy thousand
dollars necklaces. And I don't have a problem with you
buying a fifty thousand dollars necklace if that's what you
want to spend your fifty thousand dollars on. But when
you're cocky and you're arrogant, and you show up looking
(08:13):
unprofessional and you're showing off the blaying and you have
nothing to back it up.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That sends a message.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
To your teammates and to your fans and to others
that you care more about what this lifestyle gives you
than it does your substance of playing. Go earn those
things on the field. It's fine if you want to
wear them to the club, But why do you And
I'm seeing this with a lot of players.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
In the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Why do you have to show off your wealth and
your celebrity status while you're playing football. It's about you,
and it's about the team, and it's about winning games.
And then when you do your press conference afterwards and
you're in your suit or you.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
They ain't wearing suspress conferences.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well they used to, they don't anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well, some basketball players still do.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Most do not.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Players get paid to wear certain brands.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh yeah, absolutely, And and I understand if you're like
like golfers, they don't do interviews without their watch on
because the company.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Is paying them to.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
The Nike had shirt exactly all that you know that
stuff is branded. We want all the logos, the impressions
that we can get.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Coke cans pointed out word, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm a sponsorship with Bay here. This is a coconut water.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'll I'll webstream the blueberry one that's myself, but.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't like blueberry.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
By the way, it's called a chain, not a necklace.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Come on, and chane necklace.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
You're around eighteen year olds all the time. You know
exactly what.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It's like watching the baseball players. I mean, they're they're
rounding third and its slapping them in the face as
they're coming home.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
At least their jersey.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
It looks so cool and slow mo it does now.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I mean when I think about the NFL players in
the chains, I think about want to keep to leave
chain snatched crabtree when he plays with the Raiders, That's
what I think of.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'll just take this off your hands.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
With Shador, though, like I will, be just be more mature.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's what I want you to be sure.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And if he can be more mature and and and
show off like that, that's fine, But I want you
to be more humble, more mature. I don't need you
to be cocky and nuklear Lusha. I need you to
go out there and just be you.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I'm gonna give him credit that I think he's done
a good job of at least being quiet since he's
been drafted, because obviously at Colorado he was talking a
lot since he got drafted. I think being drafted in
the fifth round, whether he likes or not, me humbled
him a little bit. So now now he knows the NFL,
you can't afford to speak out like that. But in
this game against Vegas, I'm I'm gonna disagree with you
a little bit about like it's not gonna matter because
(10:36):
anyone's first start.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh it matters. I think they're a bad team too,
So if.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You're a bad team being another bad team, you can say,
at the very least we ain't the worst.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well, here's the thing, Cleveland has to decide if they're
going to trade up and get a quarterback in the
in the first round next year, right because Miil Rose hurt,
I mean, Gabriel Gabriel's hurt. Okay, Dylan Gabriel's hurt, Bill
gabriel h Dylan Gabriel's hurt, and Black's gone gone, Watson's
(11:06):
definitely gonna be gone. And can should Dour play or
at least can should do at least be a quality
backup if we need him. We got to find that
out in the next six weeks, so we know what
our plan is. The Browns have a great defense, they
got to get a better offense, and it starts with
them having a franchise quarterback, which they may not know
that they have or they may think that they don't have.
(11:28):
They're gonna find out if they play Shouldeur the next
few weeks.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I think it'd be interesting because, like he if he's
good enough, they could at least bridge him to twenty
twenty seven, which is gonna be a better quarterback draft.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
The But then you've got to get guys around him
that can make him better running backs and wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's fine because if Shoudor is not the guy, but
he has better weapons, then you have something better for
the next guy.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Come in, all right, we have an extension to announce,
and we have a coach that's been given the green
light to return next year.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
We'll tell you that next on the ticket.
