Speaker 1 (00:00):
Johnny wants to weigh in on what we're just talking
about with Lane Kiffin. So give you guys a chance
right here, you can join them. A couple of spots open.
Someone three two and two five seven ninety hits someone
three two on two five seven ninety. Dave on the
north Side wants to weigh in.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Dave, Good morning, Good morning, Dany Cole.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
This is my first time speaking to you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We'll be a stranger. You're walking back anytime.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Absolutely absolutely much love to you.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Before I mentioned the Texans, this is my comment to
Lane Kiffen. You know he Lane Kiffen is the most
hated college football coach of all time. The sports media
hates them, well, some of them do, and then some
of the players recruited by him and for him hated him.
(00:51):
And it's all because of the all ninety dollars. Lane
Kiften doesn't care about anything except how much money is
he going to get paid for him and his family.
And that's all I got to say about Lang Kippen.
As far as detections go, uh, I think they are
going to be a Super Bowl contender. And the reason
(01:12):
why I say that is because they already have.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
A a A an unstoppable defense.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Their defense is unstoppable. The back end with with Singletary
and the jam and P three, you know they're they're
unstoppable in the secondary. And they have two dynamic pass
rushers in uh Will Anderson Junior and uh with' the
other guy, Daniel Hunter. Yeah and Uh. I'm not worried
(01:41):
about their their their defense, but I'm concerned a little
bit about their offense. I think their offense is going
to be okay. And once the offense gets going with
c J. Stroud uh throwing to Nico Collins and and
having the running game going once again, who's the money
(02:03):
back right now?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What he marks is the primary guy.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Mark Woody Max. If the money running game is progressing
with Woody Max, I think there'll be a Super Bowl contender.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I appreciate the call, Dave, like I said, don't be
a stranger man. You're welcome back here anytime. Offensively, I
just I don't see like a marked improvement where you're
going to say if you if you guys are needed,
say you're down by two scores, we believe that you
can do it.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Okay, I will push back on one thing. And this
is me yesterday, like a sleep thought about it. Saw
New England last night. I think that right now super
Bowl contender is possible, depending on matchups.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Some people, some people can see the future. In this case, Cole,
he saw the light. I did. I did. Blinded by
the light, I almost was. I almost was.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I don't think that right now there is a team
in the AFC that is intimidated by any other team
going into the playoff. I think every single contender is
open to be able to win the AFC this year.
There's not one that is pulling away now. I will
say this. I do think that because of the experience,
because of the been there before attitude, and of course
(03:17):
he's never missed it. You let Kansas City in the playoffs,
they are going to be the favorites to win the
AFC because they've done it almost every single year. But
I look at Denver, not afraid of them. Look at
New England, I think that they are fools.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Gold.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I look at Baltimore, still out your faults offensively. I
look at Pittsburgh, lol. I look at Indianapolis, please stop.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I look at you. I'm not even get including Jacksonville.
You guys are morons. You guys are idiots.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
You guys have no fut shot whatsoever even make the
playoffs right now, You guys suck. You have a quarterback
that is terrible. You have a head coach that is
still saying stupid stuff all the time. You're not going anywhere.
I'm okay with going ahead and burning Jacksonville. You're not
even a franchise to begin with, in my eyes. So
here's just a joke in my opinion. Regardless, Texans could
win against any single one of those teams and push
(04:00):
their way towards the AFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Here's where the pushback is of being a Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I do not see a scenario whatsoever where a team
from the NFC is not winning the Super Bowl to year.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I mean, you know, LA is the team that I
think a lot of people look at the NFC.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But I mean, can you really ride off the Bears?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I think so?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I think there's I think they are the New England
Patriots of the NFC.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, so I mean we're not only gonna go through
the entire NFC, but I mean, at least from everything
that you just laid out, I agree, with you about
the AFC. I mean, there's really nobody out of you know,
this side that you can look at and say, you know,
go up against LA.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Can you beat l A. No, not the Chargers, the
Rams right right? The Rams?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So I mean, you know, just like any of any
of these other teams. So I will agree with you
on that. But I mean that's also good news for
the Texans. I mean, because there's no team with discernible
strengths that you look at as you know, the Texans
where you say, offensively, if they're really good offensively, when
your defense is really good, your defense can be able
to hold them to enough. And that's where again you're
(05:07):
not asking for massive amount of expectations on your offense.
You're just asking your offense. Hey, guys, give us a
couple of touchdowns, a couple of field goals, and we're good.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
We got this out of curiosity.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Can you tell me how many of the top five
offenses in the NFL are in the AFC scoring wise?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Scoring wise? No, but overall wouldn't. When in Indianapolis one
of the top.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
There are two, it's Buffalo and in Indianapolis and you've
already shut down Buffalo, and you got eight sacks on
Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
From a scoring standpoint, it's one in.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Indianapolis, Buffalo is were on the outside at number six.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
So again, it feels like right now from a standpoint
of you've already faced off against two teams in you're
two and oh and they're in the top ten scoring,
in top ten total yards. I feel pretty good about
you being able to go toe to toe with them,
whether you play at Highmark Stadium or Nargy Stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Seven one three, two, one two five, seven to ninety.
Continuing the conversation, Johnny on the north side wants to
wag and Johnny, good morning.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, man, I just want to say, let's stop talking
about LSU as being some school where you're guaranteed to
be some you know, top five.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Team in the nation.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
That's like the school where coaches careers have died over
the past ten years. Is just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Three different head coaches have won a national title at.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That's besides the point, man, how many what happened to
herman to go to ut There's no school in any
conference across the nation where a coach has gone out
of a smaller school and been successful. H Herman Tomlin.
Where all the.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Johnny, are you saying that ole Miss is a small
school in the SEC where they're winning ten games on
the regular. No, I'm not okay, I was making sure
because that's Rlane Kik.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I'm just saying where an example, Well, there are people
are positioning O this as being some secondary school.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Les You though from a from a money standpoint, it is.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Well besides the point, I mean, I think he's made
a mistake, but that's just my opinion.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
How many how many championship games misplayed in how many
national championship.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
House school just because Kippen all of a sudden shows
up there and everyone to go there is crashed and
burned in the past ten years, I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
John Now, let me take this one. First, crashed and burned.
Nick Saban won a national title there. He left for
the NFL. Les Miles won a national title there. Less
Miles probably had no business hold on, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Johnny, be put on hold money.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You're on hold, let me finish. Less Miles won a
national title there. Ed Ojon won a national title there.
So yes, there is precedent that national titles can be
won at that school. Look at the amount of players
that are in the NFL. Johnny, there there is plenty
of proof that l s U is that program.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yes, but go ahead, okay, And why isn't it more
like Alabama is a historically speaking as far as back
to back to back to.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Back, one school that is like one of the greatest unpred.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Year You're you're saying that it's the best thing in
college I just don't agree.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I didn't say it was the best thing in college football.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
That's what is being said. Oh, he's going there because
he's gonna win national championship. That's not guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Nothing's guaranteed. Nobody said that it was guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
And he's only going there for the money. I mean,
he's not going there for a better situation, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, he's one hundred percent going there for a better
situation for the reasons.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
That I'm laid down in a better situation.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now, Okay, LSU played in a SEC championship game three
years ago, almost the last one that Ole Miss played in.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
He had a chance, you know what I mean, in
a program. I think he's making a big mistake. Johnny.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I'm gonna agree with you that I think he's making
a big mistake because I don't see a scenario where
he is going to win consistently. That doesn't mean, though,
I don't think that he's taking the right calls.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Lots of money.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Okay, you're y'all talking about LSC being all this. Why
isn't he gonna win consistently? Then at LS with all
those pro football players and the money and the program.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I disagree with it all. I think that he absolutely can.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
You guys need all right, man, That's all I had
to say.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I appreciate you, guys, john john john hold up, hold up, Johnny,
hold u, Johnny Johnny hang on. The reason why is
because of it's still as Georgia and it's still as Alabama.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And that's the reason.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Until those two programs start to dwindle away, that's the
standard in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That's why. That doesn't mean the camic A run of
the playoff.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
What about A and M.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
You know, what about the two teams.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
That aren't going to the SEC championship one team that
hasn't been that has never gone to the SEC championship
in their twelve years in existence in the college football
I mean in the SEC, and one team that last
year had the exact same schedule as Texas A and M,
and then they were scheduled against one Cup team that was
to the top ten and they ended up losing both
times to Georgia.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So you're gonna compare those two teams. I'll call back
next year. I'll call back when l s U in
the playoff at ten and two. Yes, I understand. I
will completely agree with you.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
We'll see, Okay, I disagree. I think I think he's
making a big I believe.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
That he is not going to win a national title
for his first three years, like like Nick Saban did,
like Ed Ordron did, like Less Mileston. Here's why I
we'll push back and I will agree with Dan on completely.
Who would you rather have as a head coach, Lang
kivenor Less Miles.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'd rather have Lan Kiffin.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Who would you rather have as a head coach Lane
kifn At Ordron, Lane Kiffin? Okay, both of them won
a national title there. So if you have a better
coach than those two currently on staff, guess what, you
have a better shot at winning a national title.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And they won national You also have.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
To look at LSU completely different than you look at
to Johnny's point about Texas and Texas A and M.
LSU is in a state where you can have the
run of that state and there is really good talent
in said state, kind of like Georgia. I mean that
was that was when the fortune started to turn for
Kirby Smart. At Georgia. It wasn't about that they were
losing talent outside the state. It was that they were
(10:58):
losing the big time talent out of their state. Where
you had Trevor Lawrence going to Clemson. Yeah, I mean
you had other players from the state that you were like,
wait a minute, why is that guy going to Alabama?
Why is this guy going to play at Florida, Why
are they going to play at Tennessee, any of the
other any of these other schools. Where finally Kirby Smart
came in and said, no, we're locking this down, like
(11:19):
there's a fence around this state now at Ojon tried
to do the same thing and it worked out for
ed Oson.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know how I feel about LSU.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I've told you this on record, I've said on this show,
I've said it on my own podcast. I believe LSU
would run propably is the best job in college football.
If Langkiffin runs that job the way that Nick Saban
was able to run the job at Alabama, he will
turn it into Alabama. It's a big if, but it
is the best job for all the reasons you just said.
Players are sticking around in the state better. Yet you're
(11:47):
also going to be able to work the transfer portal.
You're already making really good hires.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
As Ive said, they're one of the few programs in
the country where talent is never an issue. Hopes Biscuit Anthony,
See you guys right there, looks like a lot of
you want to weigh in on this, So let's give
you that show. Seve one three two on two five
