Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't know if Florida State and Boston College is
gonna be very good, but we'll watch it anyway because
it is college football. It is Labor Day weekend. I'll
say this, VJ. It's football, so it's gonna be good.
That's true. Well, even blowout to good. You could take
stuff from blowing out.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's football.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
DJ Bounce passes five feet in front of his receivers.
That could no, I'm kidding, all right, come on, we're
it's glasses half full.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
College football is here.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'll say this VJ one of the I think just
really underrated traditions in all of sports. We talk about
all of the great moments on the sports calendar, that Sunday,
Labor Day weekend college football game. Not just that we
have a game. It just feels like it always delivers.
(02:22):
I mean, a couple of years ago LSU Florida State
we get the walk off, late, weird game whatever. A
couple of years before that, if you remember the Charlie
Strong victory, they carry him off the shoulders.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Texas is back.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well, we certainly got an intriguing one last night USCLSU.
We know what was at stake by now you know
what happened. Iowa Sam play US the final few seconds
of that game, thirteen seconds left in the game, Moss
with the snap, hands off, the marks off the middle, touchdown.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
They're going wild in half of this.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Stadium as the coaches are gonna pull off the upset.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
By the way, USC wins twenty seven to twenty should
mention Brian Kelly not happy with another loss on opening night.
LSU's third straight opening night loss under Brian Kelly. Here's
what he had to say after the game.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
We're sitting here again.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
We're sitting here again talking about the same things about
not finishing when you have an opponent in a position
to put them away. But what we're doing on the
sideline is feeling like the game's over, and I'm so
angry about it that I got to do something about it.
(03:41):
I'm not doing a good enough job as a coach,
and I got to coach him better because it's unacceptable
for us not to have found a way to win
this football game.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It's ridiculous. That was Brian Kelly after the game.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Again, USC wins twenty seven to twenty vj just from
your perspective, biggest takeaway, but also, do you believe this
was a bigger win for USC or a bigger loss
for LSU.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That's fifty to fifty for me because it meant the
same to both. First of all, my biggest takeaway is
both these programs have replaced their quarterbacks. Both these programs
have replaced their quarterbacks Number one, number two. Both these
programs have receivers and skill position players that can end
up being top fifteen, top twenty picks. Next year. These
receivers Kyrien Lacey. Wow, wow, young man. Hey, you keep
(04:29):
it up, young man. You're gonna be You're gonna be
in the NFL making a lot of money. It feels
like Lsu is becoming wide receiver. You They just kind
of reload and just reload these guys at the receiver position.
But my biggest takeaway from what he just said was
he's right. It's coaching, and now that I'm in football coaching,
you have to be accountable first. You can't always blame
(04:52):
the players. If you're not coaching your guys up and
putting them in a right position and a right predicament
and right situations to be successful, well that's on you
as a coach. Because we're gonna get in the dabbo
a little later. I'm not sure we're doing it this hour,
next hour. I'll check the run down, but we're gonna
get in the dabbo because coaching is where it starts.
It always irritated me, Aaron, And I'm sure you guys
have heard this. You ever heard people saying anybody could
(05:15):
coach that team, or coaching doesn't matter. Bull crap. If
coaching didn't matter, we wouldn't have coaches if coaching didn't matter.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Coaching definitely matters.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So I give them props for taking it on himself
and saying, we are sitting here and I can identify
with that when you tell your coaches or you tell
your kids the same thing over and over and over
and over again and it's still not happening. Okay, what
am I doing wrong? Do I need to get?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
It?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Sounded like to me, Aaron, Honestly, some people might be
getting a pink slip, That's what it sounded like to
me by saying, and I gotta do something about it,
because you can't cut a.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Kid right the nil or you know, you just stop
paying them.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But yeah, well, I mean, but the business is gonna
have something to say about that. Trust me. People got
are paying inn Aile money. I gotta have something to
say about that. But it sounds like to me there's
a couple of position coaches possibly that could be looking
for new jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, it so for people who didn't see the game
live from what people what Brian Kelly is talking about.
LSU kicks a game tying field goal with a minute
forty seven to go, minute thirty nine to go, excuse
me or excuse me, I don't for some reason.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Let's see here, let me make sure I have this correct.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, in a minute change yeah, minute, the twenty seven
was left on the clock, USC gets the wall back.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It goes without saying.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
They not only go the length of the field, but
there was also a penalty on LSU on that final
drive that certainly helped things. So you look at it
was a personal foul whatever, and so that they were
already sort of in field.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Goal range, but that put them on the goal line.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So that's what I think Brian Kelly is talking about
is when he says, we let our foot off the gas.
It's tied with under two minutes to go. You have
the chance to hold them force overtime.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You do not.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Let's go to First of all, I agree with you
on the LSU perspective. I know Brian Kelly's kind of
an easy punching bag. Everybody loves to make fun of
him whatever, but he did take he did take accountability. Now,
I know an LSU fan listening doesn't care about his accountability.
They want to win, absolutely, but he did take accountability.
The one thing I'll say about LSU and the bigger
picture this is a twelve team playoff era, interesting but
(07:18):
manageable schedule with ole Miss at home, with Alabama at home, etc.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Down the road.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I do want to talk about the USC perspective of Vija.
I know in a couple of minutes we're going to
talk about a guy that you and I both think
it's a little too much negative attention thrown his way
and coach Prime. But I bring it up because I
feel the same way about Lincoln Riley and maybe you disagree,
and let me just explain my side of things here
is that listen, last year was a debacle. We all
(07:46):
know that last year was a debacle. This is also
what his record was in the six seasons before last
season twelve and two, twelve and two, twelve and two,
nine and two in the COVID year ten and two,
eleven and three in year one at USC, and I
understand that he doesn't have those super signature wins, especially
in the playoff. And I do understand also that he
(08:08):
took over a very good situation with Bob Stoops. But
the idea that this guy does not know how to
at the very least put together a very good offense,
and obviously I think he was humbled a little bit
last year by the defensive miscues and everything, So I
just bring it up because I didn't really understand the
Lincoln Riley scorn. But I think last night proved one
(08:30):
nailed the defensive coordinator higher with Dan and Lynn, who
of course is Anthony Lynn's son coming from UCLA. But two,
this guy still knows how to develop quarterbacks. And if that,
even if the offense takes a little bit of a
step back, if that defense can play as consistently well
as it did on Sunday night, they're gonna win a
lot of game.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I know'm with you on the USC perspective. I just
wanted to attack the LS because that's the start that
we had. Yes, but no, no, no, I've always been
a Linco rally guy. I've always been a Laker rally g.
Here here's the thing that aritates me about sports, especially
in football. Only one team's gonna win the game, okay,
and only one team's gonna win the conference, and only
one team's gonna win the College Football Playoff national championship.
It's hard to win, guys, in sports, it's hard. I
(09:09):
know some of fans out there may have played, may
have never played or hell, there are people in this
business that's never played, okay, and that's not a knock.
Those are just the facts, TV and radio side. It's
hard to win football. So much has to go right
for you to win, and not a lot can go
wrong for you to win those that's just the way
(09:31):
football has always been. So yeah, he caught some flak,
but at the end of the day, he also was
able to move schools, bring a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback,
make USC relevant again because other than the Reggie Bush,
Aaron Pete Carroll after they all left, tell me what
USC was, Please somebody fill me in. I might have
been in a you know, a cryod chamber somewhere sleep
(09:52):
for years and years. Like the new Reggie Busch Heisman commercial.
How beautiful, it's a great. How beautiful is that You
talk about creatoys, stars talk about creativity. That's been a while,
so I mean, it's not all yeah, and Reggie Bush
is one of my top five favorite college football players
of all time, but it is. It's a good. It's
great to see that they won the game. You can
(10:15):
see that they're back. He can coach football. You talk
about a man that can scheme and call plays. This
kid branch that they have is just it's zachar Yer
branch from the Vegas area. It's phenomenal. And as I
said at the top of the hour, guess what, guys,
he may not win a Heisman, but I think they'll
be pretty okay without Caleb Williams because something lesson. Once again,
somebody just remind me what the Caleb Williams win while
(10:35):
he was at USC. What did he win?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Team?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Why? So this kid is you talk about a kid
that's accurate, can put the ball right on his eye.
I'm watching this game erin, I'm like, God, both these
young men just putting the ball where it needs to
be on almost every damn throw. And that's not what
we saw over the totality of opening college weekend. But
those two men, great win for USC, greatly for them.
Now they got to get into the Big Ten, to
(11:01):
get with the big boys.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah. Two quick thoughts and we'll wrap here.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
One.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
First of all, Miller Moss, the USC quarterback. For people
who talk about quote unquote meaningless Bowl games, this was
a kid who we know the story, sat behind Caleb Williams.
But I think people forget USC was actively recruiting quarterbacks
out of the portal. Last year, he goes to the
Holiday Bowl. He balls out six touchdowns. That's basically the
(11:24):
night that he got this starting job. So don't tell
me there's no you know that all these bowl games
are meaningless because he you know, they might.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
They were going after Will Howard pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They were going after some other guys really quickly with
youwar cam Warden really quickly with USC. Okay, so we
think that in this twelve team playoff era, we're probably
looking at three to four Big ten teams in the
College Football Playoff. USC does not play Ohio State, they
do not play Oregon. They do open Big ten play
against your Michigan Wolverines. You know that program as well
(11:55):
as anybody. They also get Penn State. We just saw
LeVar Arrington in the Hall levarsa Penn State and looked
much improved on offense. Again, it's tough to know it's early,
it's one week, but that defense has improved. They also
close with Notre Dame. Do you think this is a
team that can get to that kind of ten and
two range and be in the conversation for a playoff spot.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's gonna be hard man, It really is, because the
SEC looks like it could be a load. We'll get
more than that. Could have an opinion about the weekend
that they had, but it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Man.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I love this. I love this twelve team because everybody's
ow twelves too many. No, absolutely, no, Actually no, it's
not because with nil and portal, this really opens up
well for twelve teams because now you could change your
team Miami. You can change your team in one year
by the portal and NIL. So I think they're borderline.
But I would like to see what a team like
(12:43):
SMU does. I would like to see what a team
like Virginia Tech does coming off that los against Vanderbilt.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
And then some other Big Ten team.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I just feel like somebody else from the Big Ten
could be Iowa, could be Wisconsin that kind of makes
a little jump this year and kind of wrecks eight
through twelve.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Well, Iowa.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Sam's Iowahawkeys couldn't stop scoring this weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Forty four?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Forty points in a win over Illinois State? So yeah,
where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well? No, Kirk Farrence, he's been holding the program back
all these years.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Pretouchdowns and Knack and themeor former Wolverine.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
What I will tell you We talked about a third
fourth Big Ten team and Iowa, Sam and I have
talked about this before. Iowa, no Michigan, no Penn State,
no Oregon. So you talk about a team that could
potentially surprise some teams. By the way, we have a
Nick on the desk who obviously covers UCLA. We got
Iowa Sam, We got VJ, the Michigan man here Big
Ten seventeen and one on opening weekend. The only loss
(13:36):
was that that that that late field goal that cost
Minnesota a win over North Carolina seventeen and one for
the Big Shit.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
That's the point.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Fox Sports Radio air Torus VJ Husky, We are in

(15:25):
NFL look ahead. Week one is coming VJ.

Well, he's the best.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
He'll be joining us about fifteen minutes from now, and
when we get to the Cavino on Rich Show, we
will definitely start looking ahead to the NFL season ahead,
because of course we are now what about seventy two
hours or so away from kickoff of Baltimore and Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Face look at the skill, look at the box, look
at the goosebumps. Day there. I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I will tell you the Thursday was the day it
hit me.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
When I was watching the Colorado game, I was like,
we're so back and you know, I mid August it
was just like I can't do prediction. Like we've all
had our takes on the Jets, the Chargers. Can anybody
beat my homes and it? You know, and so and
by the way, same in college. You know who's gonna
(16:23):
how does the twelve team playoff? What's the bor gonna be?
Speaker 11 (16:26):
Like?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
How is Texas gonna be in the SEC? How Sharon
More gonna be?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And it's like Thursday, it was like, we get to
actually react to stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
We get to react to stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So seventy two hours from the NFL, one week of
college football in the books as well, pretty notable result
out of the swamp. Nick just told us a minute
ago that cam Ward, the Miami quarterback, was it very
intimidated by the swamp. The Hurricanes didn't appear to be
intimidated at all because they just ran right over, around
(16:59):
and through the Florida Gators. Miami beats Florida forty one
to seventeen on Saturday, five hundred and twenty nine yards
of total offense for Miami, two hundred and sixty one
yards of total offense for Florida, and seventy one of
those yards came on one rushing touchdown from Montreal Johnson.
So talking about under two hundred yards rushing for the
(17:20):
Florida Gator yeah, or for two hundred yards of total
offense ecuse me for the Florida Gators The issue, of course,
is that this continues a trend under Billion Napier. Back
to back losing seasons Florida if you go back to
the Dan Mullens final year, actually three straight losing seasons
for the first time since the forties. Billy Napier, the
head coach, was asked about the situation at the pre
(17:42):
at the situation with his team at his press conference
earlier today. This is sound from Monday. Here is what
he had to say about what needs to change with
his program.
Speaker 11 (17:52):
We got to go to work on the football part,
you know, and I think we got to get more
We got to become a more consistent team, and we
have to execute better. And if we can focus on
those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
basement saying and you know, rural central Florida on social media,
then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Right, So let me ask you this future.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
First of all, I had several Florida fans point out
they don't have basements in Florida because they flood during
hurricane season. So that's neither here nor there, you know what,
that's the I'm just going to shut up. That's the
first time you have heard that sound. So I'm going
to give you the floor on what you think about
Billion Apier calling out fans in rural central Florida in
(18:38):
their basements on social media.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Wow that and number one, that is the first time
I'm hearing that.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
You can play it again.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
If you want to hear it again, Please do play
that for me again, brother, Play that said.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
This was Billionapier at his press conference today.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
We got to go to work on the football part,
and I think we got to get more. We got
to become a more consistent team, and we have to
execute better. And if we can focus on those things
and not necessarily what some guy in his basement saying,
and you know, rural central Florida, I got social.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Media, then yeah, that's that's bad. That's bad. That's bad.
That's bad. That's real bad. Let me tell you something
right now. The one thing that I coach with my kids,
the one thing that I talk to my friends about,
even like let's say, for like the dating world, right
even in your friendships, your relationships with your family, accountability
is so important in life. That sounded like he's blaming
(19:31):
the kids and he's blaming the fan. I don't give
a I don't give a damn about a fan and
what a fan says. Even about VJ the radio guy,
I don't read that stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I'm the one in the chair.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're not.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And I hate to sound like that jerk radio guy,
but that is just the fact. I'm the head coach
of Florida. We play for the Gators, we represent. You
had Javon Curse here, you had Tim Tebow here, Andy
Warful and his son was there, and this is the
product you put on the field and you go to
the podium and the first thing you do is escape
(20:08):
yourself of accountability, opposite of what Brian Kelly did.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And I gave him a salute.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
This is bad. Now I'm starting, Aaron. I was trying
to wrap my head around a lot of people really
saying that this guy's not gonna last you yourself. I
would listen to you guys on the right home the
other you and other people. They're like, bro, this guy
and all the jokes, and I'm like, oh, what is
it so bad about coach Naper. I'm trying to figure
it out. Maybe I haven't been watching them close enough.
I cover a lot of stuff, man, so some stuff
(20:34):
slips through my fingers. But wow, this was really really
bad for an upper echelon coach and an upper echelon program,
the Florida Gators, the swamp for you to say, we
got to get back to the football part and don't work.
Who's worried about it? Coach? Let me ask you that
who are you talking to? Are you reading social media?
(20:54):
Is your defensive coordinator reading social media?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Who are you talking?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh, you must be talking about the players. That's bad, bro,
That is so much unaccountability. That actually just kind of
pissed me off.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Just now.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, and you know what actually pisses me off is
there was a lot of negativity around the program. Wow,
but the Florida fans showed out on Saturday pact not
I actually looked before the game. It was about the
get in price in a stadium that holds ninety thousand
people was close to two hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Okay, so it's like one hundred and sixty one hundred.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And seventy bucks. Your fans had your back. Your fans
were begging to just have a good product on the field.
And me and JMR talked about this on Saturday. If
you lose to on a walk off field goal, and
it's the best game that's ever been played. That's one thing.
But you get embarrassed at home to arrival. And this
(21:48):
is a point you brought up earlier VJ about Brian Kelly,
which is a good one. It's year three for Billion Apier,
It's year three for Mario Cristobal. This is the Portal era.
I'm not saying, hey, you gotta beat Georgia, and I'll
be honest the Gator fans that I talked to it
wasn't about we have to beat Georgia and Texas, who
are both on the schedule later in the year. But
(22:09):
this is a game in state rival thirty year head
coach at Miami. It's not like Crystal Ball's been there
ten years and his thing's been rolling at the highest level.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
He's had to flip his program around.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
He had to flip his program around. He took over
the same time you did.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So that is where my frustration would be if I
was a Gators fan, because I'm sitting there saying I
came out, I spent hundreds of my hard earned dollars,
and you're.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Worried about me in my basement.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
How about you worry about blocking and tackling because he
didn't do very much.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Of that on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Man that, like I said, that really just got to
me because you can't. You have no business being a
coach of a Power five Conference school if you can't
just stand at the podium and just say, look, it's
on us, it's on the coaches. We got a coach better.
I hate to bring this back around on myself. My
team didn't play so well this past week. He's a
high school football I coach. I coach Birmingham School. Also
(23:02):
shout out to coach full day. He just text me
he's listening. I'm bringing more listeners. Coach Chef Jasmine just
Chef Jazman was listening too. I'm bringing more listeners the
Fox Sports Radio. But I told my team after film studying,
I said, I'm gonna take fifty percent of the blame.
I didn't coach you guys up this week. It's on me, okay,
But now that we're past stat the stuff that I've
been coaching here on you're still not doing. But there
(23:23):
are a lot of mistakes. I will own same thing.
After the scrimmage we had two weeks ago. I'm the
first one to say, listen, I'm gonna take some of
the blame on this because I gotta I gotta coach
you better. I gotta figure out how to get to
all of you guys individually mentally and get you to
the point that I can make you good young men
first and then good football players. That's how I approach
every single day I step on the field with my whistle.
(23:45):
But I will never just say, oh man, it's the
kids and the kids on the internet and the kids
on this guess what. The Internet's not going nowhere. Social
media is not going nowhere. Kids on TikTok and brand
nil money, you got people make it, you got stuff.
Every time I cut on the internet, Juju Smith and
Juju al Watkins is doing something new right and beautiful
young lady out here in La there doing her thing
(24:06):
for USC But that's the world we're in as grown men.
We need to adjust to that as coaches, not try
to tell them not to do it, because that's not
gonna work. I tried that. That's not gonna work. You
have to learn how to adjust and be accountable to
what you were doing. He didn't have them ready to play.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, that's two other things on top of everything else.
Is he said, we just have to execute better. They
had two penalties for twenty five yards. Now, both of
them were crushing penalties because they kept drives going. But
it's not like it's not like they lost because eleven
penalties for one hundred and fifteen yards.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
They turn.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, they lost because Miami was better at every single
freaking position. But here's the other thing too, man, there's
a way to tell your players. And this is one
thing I think Saban did a good job of to
block out the noise without calling out the fans. He
could have even said it in a manner like this, Hey,
you know, we need to execute better. To your point, VJ,
(25:03):
we need to execute better. A lot of it is
on me. I didn't do a good enough job having
them ready, but we also got to make sure that
they block out the noise and focus on the guys
in this building. But to call out the fans specifically
who are angry, and by the way, fans have a
right to be angry, okay because the product stinks. By
(25:23):
the way, just for people who don't know all of
the facts. Back to back losing seasons, he's now eleven
and fifteen as the Florida head coach. It says year three,
six and ten in the SEC, lost to Vanderbilt in
year one. Last year lost to Arkansas, which was their
only SEC win, their first ever win at the Swamp.
So it's not just that you're losing to Georgia and
(25:44):
now Texas is on the schedule. Whatever, You're losing team
two teams that the Florida Gators should never lose to.
But then again, you get embarrassed by Miami when that
program is on the same timeline and trajectory as you are.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
And not only that, all they really added they have
somelent there, but their main piece they just brought in
a quarterback from Nil, a transfer kid. Like it wasn't
like it was a whole roster overhaul, and they have
all these top notched kids. If you get enough good
portal kids, you could put together a pretty damn good
football team. Okay, you get a receiver from Mississippi State
(26:17):
and then they get you get a kicker from Arkansas State.
Em you get a left guard from Akron, and yeah,
you can find a bunch of good kids and your
coaches better. You guys better. Dill in. It's not going anywhere.
God like me, loves it. If I can change my
program in a year and a half, if I can
change my program in sixteen months, just by convincing the
kids to leave that smaller college or that other program
(26:38):
where he feels maybe underappreciated, where he feels a little disrespected. Yeah, buddy,
come over here. We'll show you love over here. Oh,
by the way, we got filetman, young and lobster. Every
Tuesday and Wednesday, we feed you good. You can go
twenty four to seven. We don't put no restraints on it.
All the gatorade, all the water, all the protein shapes,
we got all that for you. Brother. Don't worry. We'll
take care of everything. Okay, just come play football here, baby,
(26:59):
Transfer your credits over here, baby, come get your degree
over here. You better lock in napier. Doesn't feel like
I got to get do that also too. You want
to talk about some of these numbers had one hundred
and thirty nine yards on the ground. They were running
the football like they were one on one play exactly, true, true,
seventy one on one play. You're right, okay, well, eighty
six stat thanks Aaron.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
No, but That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Is they got you.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You and Martin were on during the game, so I
know you couldn't watch as close as I would. But
it's like, dude, like you just got embarrased. And the
other thing, too, is this is just coaching pr That's
not what a fan wants. Even even if you were,
even if you really think that's to blame, which you shouldn't.
But even if the negativity is getting to you, which
(27:44):
it shouldn't. You get paid eight nine million dollars a year,
you know, by the way telling your players to block
it out to the point you just brought up vj I,
it must mean that you're paying attention to it.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So he probably blame on the players because he's paying
attention to it and the fact is not the players, bro,
and the fans who are paying.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I know, people get mad when he says that the
fans don't pay your salary to you know whatever. The
fans are a big part of what allows you to
get paid eight nine million dollars or whatever it is,
and it's like to blame the fans.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I never get that, Aaron. I just never do it, Aaron.
When I read back, like you know, negative comments on
like Twitter or youtubeor whatever. A lot of times I
normally comment back, Hey, I appreciate I appreciate you tuning in,
thanks for the support. Yeah, how this guy get a show?
If they're that all guy that VJ guys on, I
hate this guy. Tell them thanks for listening and I
appreciate your support. I don't need the I don't need
(28:37):
the fire back. Once again, you're the coach, none of
those guys. If any of those guys could coach that's
talking about you, they'd be coaching.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
They're not.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
You are the head coach of the Florida Gators the swamp.
You don't need to be paying attention to none of
that stuff. You're the one that's listening to the noise.
The kids aren't tell you the five hundred and twenty
nine yards a total offense for the Canes. Would you
talk to your defense?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And I just go back to If anything, I give
the fans credit because coming off back to back losing seasons,
they were loud and they were ready to go in
that game. Florida ends up losing, by the way, doesn't
get much easier for them. They get Texas A and
m at home in two weeks and obviously I think
most people know about the back half of the schedule.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Hardest schedule in college football. Yes, last five.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Games are against teams that were ranked in the preseason
Top fifteen. Georgia on and neutral at Texas, LSU at home,
Ole Miss at home at Florida State. Oh, by the way,
also got a trip to Tennessee mixed in there.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Four and eight loading, four.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
And eight loading.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
If me and J Martin went over this the other
day on our show, is I mean, you can pull
up schedule if you want.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
It's hard. It's hard to find the wins.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Because because you know, and I told J Martin this
the other day, is you know, everybody freaks out about
the schedule in June and July, but stuff happens, right
look at Florida State all of a sudden, Florida State
isn't as good as we think, right A and M
maybe not as far along as we think. So I
just bring it up because there was a window where
you're like, Okay, well if this break's right, and that
(30:03):
breaks right, they get get to six and six, seven
and five. Because what I can tell you, I know
this for a fact, Florida doesn't want to fight. They
don't want to pay him. He bowed over twenty five
million dollars in buyout money. They want this to work,
but you look at that schedule man A and M
in a couple of weeks at Mississippi State. That's not
going to be easy because that place is loud. It's
just four and eight might be loading. And if four
(30:26):
and eight happens, he ain't keeping that HU money.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Money don't matter, bro. The saga and I talked about
that the other day, is the bios like twenty plus
million dollars. Dog, that's that's peanuts to them. They listen.
They want to win, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
And you know the other thing too, And I know
most people know this, but most of it is either
offset if he gets another job or like the Jimbo
Fisher like people were freaking out about the buyout. Then
you find out it's like paid out over like a
ten year period. So it's like, yeah, you don't want
to be paying a guy seven million dollars a year
not to coach, but you're not giving him a check
for seventy five million dollars tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, so we'll see. I'm not rooting against him, But
that quote right, there was just shocking.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, that was shocking. Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
And he's one that's usually pretty careful with his words.
But whatever, if you missed it again, Billy and Napier
are calling out fans in their basements in rural central Florida.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And as I had a couple.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Of people point out to me on Twitter when I
saw this video, most places in central Florida don't have basements,
of course, because of hurricanes. It was hurricane season in
the swamp. I can tell you that because cam Ward
and those boys ran through him.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Fox Sports Radio er towards Jason Martin. Jason Martin, excuse me, no,

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Sam, what time is it?
Speaker 9 (32:44):
This is game time? Game on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Nick,
what game are we playing today? Momm Big deal, little deal,
no deal. Okay, all right, I got some more college
football for you. You've hit on some of the big stuff.
But big deal, little deal, no deal.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
That Miami quarterback cam Ward formerly of Washington State, kind
of trashing the environment at the swamp. He said, Oregon,
in USC and Washington all louder than Ben Hill Griffiths Stadium.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Wow, what do you got me?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
This is a big deal. And I love him, baby,
because not only is he trashing him, he went in
there and trashed that Gator defense into swamp too. I
like Moxie, man, there's nothing wrong in football. You need it.
I'm all with this. And listen, the reason why I
was quiet in there is because they were getting their
ass what and that's kind of what Cam was saying.
So I'm with this, man. Give me a big deal
on this one.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'll say a big deal only because Billion Napier can't
stop taking l's on the field.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Off the field.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
We got some sound that you're gonna hear at the
top of the hour that is sort of mind boggling.
But this is just more dirt on the Billion Napier grave.
It's unbelievable. I'll say big deal for that.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Reason, all right.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Circling back around to LSU big deal, little deal, no
deal that Brian Kelly has now lost five of his
last six as against ap top twenty five teams.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Wow, it's a good stat I mean it's got to
be a big deal, right, I mean, listen, you know,
and we talked you know you've heard me do this
rant VJ.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
But we talk about this with Ryan Day all the time.
When people were like, how can.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
You criticize Ryan Days fifty two and five, It's like, Yeah,
you don't get paid at Ohio State to beat Rutgers
in Indiana.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
You get paid to beat Michigan and win national championships.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
And so I think that's a big deal because lsu
ain't you know Kentucky or Vanderbilt or South Carolina. You're
there to win national championships at the highest level. I
will say that is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
I tell you, man, I wish we had a different
one called bigger deal because I think it's the bigger
than a big deal, because Aaron is right, you were
to ls shoot to win national championships. I e. Les
Miles and mister Nick Saban, sir, you are not there
to be You're not there to beat Vanderbilt, South Carolina,
Kentucky and you know.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
You're there to win. And this goes back to Norda Dame.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Right, He's in Nordon Dame and just couldn't really figure
out how to beat the top IGN teams. And then
getting crashed in the National Championship Game against Alabama. Right,
so this is a this is a big deal, but
in my eyes, this is bigger than the big deal.
This is alarming.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
A big win for Vanderbilt by the way, yes, jan Tech.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, blowing a seventeen nothing leading then coming back and
finishing that.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Nice job.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
All right, let's go to the NFL. Big deal, little deal,
no deal that Russell Wilson was named a captain for
the Steelers and he's the only captain on the offensive
side of the ball for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I'll just be quick, I'll say little deal. It feels
like every quarterback is named captain. I remember we had
this conversation with tu A little deal for.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Me, Little deal for me too, because that's all he
gonna be able to do is bring a little bit
to this offense. So I guess you got to give
him some type of responsibility or give him some type
of clout because he's lost it all in my eyes.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
All right, squeeze one more in here. Big deal, little deal,
no deal That the Rams have hired former Nebraska and
UCF coach Scott Frost as a senior football anal list.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
It's really no deal to me because he showed he
wasn't good, so you had to fire him.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
He had his Central Florida run.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
But that's about it for Scott Falls. I think when
he played safety for the Jets, like gim Prompt said,
he was good there on the Bill Parcells.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I'll say, no deal as well. Just doesn't really happy
he's working. But nothing for me. That was game time.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Game This is.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (36:27):

it is college football. It is Labor Day weekend. I'll
say this, VJ. It's football, so it's gonna be good.
That's true. Well, even blowout to good. You could take
stuff from blowing out.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's football.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
DJ Bounce passes five feet in front of his receivers.
That could no, I'm kidding, all right, come on, we're
it's glasses half full.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
College football is here.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'll say this VJ one of the I think just
really underrated traditions in all of sports. We talk about
all of the great moments on the sports calendar, that Sunday,
Labor Day weekend college football game. Not just that we
have a game. It just feels like it always delivers.
(02:22):
I mean, a couple of years ago LSU Florida State
we get the walk off, late, weird game whatever. A
couple of years before that, if you remember the Charlie
Strong victory, they carry him off the shoulders.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Texas is back.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well, we certainly got an intriguing one last night USCLSU.
We know what was at stake by now you know
what happened. Iowa Sam play US the final few seconds
of that game, thirteen seconds left in the game, Moss
with the snap, hands off, the marks off the middle, touchdown.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
They're going wild in half of this.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Stadium as the coaches are gonna pull off the upset.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
By the way, USC wins twenty seven to twenty should
mention Brian Kelly not happy with another loss on opening night.
LSU's third straight opening night loss under Brian Kelly. Here's
what he had to say after the game.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
We're sitting here again.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
We're sitting here again talking about the same things about
not finishing when you have an opponent in a position
to put them away. But what we're doing on the
sideline is feeling like the game's over, and I'm so
angry about it that I got to do something about it.
(03:41):
I'm not doing a good enough job as a coach,
and I got to coach him better because it's unacceptable
for us not to have found a way to win
this football game.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It's ridiculous. That was Brian Kelly after the game.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Again, USC wins twenty seven to twenty vj just from
your perspective, biggest takeaway, but also, do you believe this
was a bigger win for USC or a bigger loss
for LSU.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That's fifty to fifty for me because it meant the
same to both. First of all, my biggest takeaway is
both these programs have replaced their quarterbacks. Both these programs
have replaced their quarterbacks Number one, number two. Both these
programs have receivers and skill position players that can end
up being top fifteen, top twenty picks. Next year. These
receivers Kyrien Lacey. Wow, wow, young man. Hey, you keep
(04:29):
it up, young man. You're gonna be You're gonna be
in the NFL making a lot of money. It feels
like Lsu is becoming wide receiver. You They just kind
of reload and just reload these guys at the receiver position.
But my biggest takeaway from what he just said was
he's right. It's coaching, and now that I'm in football coaching,
you have to be accountable first. You can't always blame
(04:52):
the players. If you're not coaching your guys up and
putting them in a right position and a right predicament
and right situations to be successful, well that's on you
as a coach. Because we're gonna get in the dabbo
a little later. I'm not sure we're doing it this hour,
next hour. I'll check the run down, but we're gonna
get in the dabbo because coaching is where it starts.
It always irritated me, Aaron, And I'm sure you guys
have heard this. You ever heard people saying anybody could
(05:15):
coach that team, or coaching doesn't matter. Bull crap. If
coaching didn't matter, we wouldn't have coaches if coaching didn't matter.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Coaching definitely matters.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So I give them props for taking it on himself
and saying, we are sitting here and I can identify
with that when you tell your coaches or you tell
your kids the same thing over and over and over
and over again and it's still not happening. Okay, what
am I doing wrong? Do I need to get?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
It?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Sounded like to me, Aaron, Honestly, some people might be
getting a pink slip, That's what it sounded like to
me by saying, and I gotta do something about it,
because you can't cut a.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Kid right the nil or you know, you just stop
paying them.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But yeah, well, I mean, but the business is gonna
have something to say about that. Trust me. People got
are paying inn Aile money. I gotta have something to
say about that. But it sounds like to me there's
a couple of position coaches possibly that could be looking
for new jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, it so for people who didn't see the game
live from what people what Brian Kelly is talking about.
LSU kicks a game tying field goal with a minute
forty seven to go, minute thirty nine to go, excuse
me or excuse me, I don't for some reason.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Let's see here, let me make sure I have this correct.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, in a minute change yeah, minute, the twenty seven
was left on the clock, USC gets the wall back.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It goes without saying.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
They not only go the length of the field, but
there was also a penalty on LSU on that final
drive that certainly helped things. So you look at it
was a personal foul whatever, and so that they were
already sort of in field.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Goal range, but that put them on the goal line.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So that's what I think Brian Kelly is talking about
is when he says, we let our foot off the gas.
It's tied with under two minutes to go. You have
the chance to hold them force overtime.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You do not.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Let's go to First of all, I agree with you
on the LSU perspective. I know Brian Kelly's kind of
an easy punching bag. Everybody loves to make fun of
him whatever, but he did take he did take accountability. Now,
I know an LSU fan listening doesn't care about his accountability.
They want to win, absolutely, but he did take accountability.
The one thing I'll say about LSU and the bigger
picture this is a twelve team playoff era, interesting but
(07:18):
manageable schedule with ole Miss at home, with Alabama at home, etc.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Down the road.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I do want to talk about the USC perspective of Vija.
I know in a couple of minutes we're going to
talk about a guy that you and I both think
it's a little too much negative attention thrown his way
and coach Prime. But I bring it up because I
feel the same way about Lincoln Riley and maybe you disagree,
and let me just explain my side of things here
is that listen, last year was a debacle. We all
(07:46):
know that last year was a debacle. This is also
what his record was in the six seasons before last
season twelve and two, twelve and two, twelve and two,
nine and two in the COVID year ten and two,
eleven and three in year one at USC, and I
understand that he doesn't have those super signature wins, especially
in the playoff. And I do understand also that he
(08:08):
took over a very good situation with Bob Stoops. But
the idea that this guy does not know how to
at the very least put together a very good offense,
and obviously I think he was humbled a little bit
last year by the defensive miscues and everything, So I
just bring it up because I didn't really understand the
Lincoln Riley scorn. But I think last night proved one
(08:30):
nailed the defensive coordinator higher with Dan and Lynn, who
of course is Anthony Lynn's son coming from UCLA. But two,
this guy still knows how to develop quarterbacks. And if that,
even if the offense takes a little bit of a
step back, if that defense can play as consistently well
as it did on Sunday night, they're gonna win a
lot of game.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I know'm with you on the USC perspective. I just
wanted to attack the LS because that's the start that
we had. Yes, but no, no, no, I've always been
a Linco rally guy. I've always been a Laker rally g.
Here here's the thing that aritates me about sports, especially
in football. Only one team's gonna win the game, okay,
and only one team's gonna win the conference, and only
one team's gonna win the College Football Playoff national championship.
It's hard to win, guys, in sports, it's hard. I
(09:09):
know some of fans out there may have played, may
have never played or hell, there are people in this
business that's never played, okay, and that's not a knock.
Those are just the facts, TV and radio side. It's
hard to win football. So much has to go right
for you to win, and not a lot can go
wrong for you to win those that's just the way
(09:31):
football has always been. So yeah, he caught some flak,
but at the end of the day, he also was
able to move schools, bring a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback,
make USC relevant again because other than the Reggie Bush,
Aaron Pete Carroll after they all left, tell me what
USC was, Please somebody fill me in. I might have
been in a you know, a cryod chamber somewhere sleep
(09:52):
for years and years. Like the new Reggie Busch Heisman commercial.
How beautiful, it's a great. How beautiful is that You
talk about creatoys, stars talk about creativity. That's been a while,
so I mean, it's not all yeah, and Reggie Bush
is one of my top five favorite college football players
of all time, but it is. It's a good. It's
great to see that they won the game. You can
(10:15):
see that they're back. He can coach football. You talk
about a man that can scheme and call plays. This
kid branch that they have is just it's zachar Yer
branch from the Vegas area. It's phenomenal. And as I
said at the top of the hour, guess what, guys,
he may not win a Heisman, but I think they'll
be pretty okay without Caleb Williams because something lesson. Once again,
somebody just remind me what the Caleb Williams win while
(10:35):
he was at USC. What did he win?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Team?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Why? So this kid is you talk about a kid
that's accurate, can put the ball right on his eye.
I'm watching this game erin, I'm like, God, both these
young men just putting the ball where it needs to
be on almost every damn throw. And that's not what
we saw over the totality of opening college weekend. But
those two men, great win for USC, greatly for them.
Now they got to get into the Big Ten, to
(11:01):
get with the big boys.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah. Two quick thoughts and we'll wrap here.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
One.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
First of all, Miller Moss, the USC quarterback. For people
who talk about quote unquote meaningless Bowl games, this was
a kid who we know the story, sat behind Caleb Williams.
But I think people forget USC was actively recruiting quarterbacks
out of the portal. Last year, he goes to the
Holiday Bowl. He balls out six touchdowns. That's basically the
(11:24):
night that he got this starting job. So don't tell
me there's no you know that all these bowl games
are meaningless because he you know, they might.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
They were going after Will Howard pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They were going after some other guys really quickly with
youwar cam Warden really quickly with USC. Okay, so we
think that in this twelve team playoff era, we're probably
looking at three to four Big ten teams in the
College Football Playoff. USC does not play Ohio State, they
do not play Oregon. They do open Big ten play
against your Michigan Wolverines. You know that program as well
(11:55):
as anybody. They also get Penn State. We just saw
LeVar Arrington in the Hall levarsa Penn State and looked
much improved on offense. Again, it's tough to know it's early,
it's one week, but that defense has improved. They also
close with Notre Dame. Do you think this is a
team that can get to that kind of ten and
two range and be in the conversation for a playoff spot.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's gonna be hard man, It really is, because the
SEC looks like it could be a load. We'll get
more than that. Could have an opinion about the weekend
that they had, but it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Man.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I love this. I love this twelve team because everybody's
ow twelves too many. No, absolutely, no, Actually no, it's
not because with nil and portal, this really opens up
well for twelve teams because now you could change your
team Miami. You can change your team in one year
by the portal and NIL. So I think they're borderline.
But I would like to see what a team like
(12:43):
SMU does. I would like to see what a team
like Virginia Tech does coming off that los against Vanderbilt.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
And then some other Big Ten team.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I just feel like somebody else from the Big Ten
could be Iowa, could be Wisconsin that kind of makes
a little jump this year and kind of wrecks eight
through twelve.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Well, Iowa.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Sam's Iowahawkeys couldn't stop scoring this weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Forty four?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Forty points in a win over Illinois State? So yeah,
where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well? No, Kirk Farrence, he's been holding the program back
all these years.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Pretouchdowns and Knack and themeor former Wolverine.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
What I will tell you We talked about a third
fourth Big Ten team and Iowa, Sam and I have
talked about this before. Iowa, no Michigan, no Penn State,
no Oregon. So you talk about a team that could
potentially surprise some teams. By the way, we have a
Nick on the desk who obviously covers UCLA. We got
Iowa Sam, We got VJ, the Michigan man here Big
Ten seventeen and one on opening weekend. The only loss
(13:36):
was that that that that late field goal that cost
Minnesota a win over North Carolina seventeen and one for
the Big Shit.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
That's the point.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Fox Sports Radio air Torus VJ Husky, We are in

(15:25):
NFL look ahead. Week one is coming VJ.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
That is my guy. I love me. I call him

Big money bags Burns.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Well, he's the best.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
He'll be joining us about fifteen minutes from now, and
when we get to the Cavino on Rich Show, we
will definitely start looking ahead to the NFL season ahead,
because of course we are now what about seventy two
hours or so away from kickoff of Baltimore and Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Face look at the skill, look at the box, look
at the goosebumps. Day there. I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I will tell you the Thursday was the day it
hit me.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
When I was watching the Colorado game, I was like,
we're so back and you know, I mid August it
was just like I can't do prediction. Like we've all
had our takes on the Jets, the Chargers. Can anybody
beat my homes and it? You know, and so and
by the way, same in college. You know who's gonna
(16:23):
how does the twelve team playoff? What's the bor gonna be?
Speaker 11 (16:26):
Like?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
How is Texas gonna be in the SEC? How Sharon
More gonna be?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And it's like Thursday, it was like, we get to
actually react to stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
We get to react to stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So seventy two hours from the NFL, one week of
college football in the books as well, pretty notable result
out of the swamp. Nick just told us a minute
ago that cam Ward, the Miami quarterback, was it very
intimidated by the swamp. The Hurricanes didn't appear to be
intimidated at all because they just ran right over, around
(16:59):
and through the Florida Gators. Miami beats Florida forty one
to seventeen on Saturday, five hundred and twenty nine yards
of total offense for Miami, two hundred and sixty one
yards of total offense for Florida, and seventy one of
those yards came on one rushing touchdown from Montreal Johnson.
So talking about under two hundred yards rushing for the
(17:20):
Florida Gator yeah, or for two hundred yards of total
offense ecuse me for the Florida Gators The issue, of course,
is that this continues a trend under Billion Napier. Back
to back losing seasons Florida if you go back to
the Dan Mullens final year, actually three straight losing seasons
for the first time since the forties. Billy Napier, the
head coach, was asked about the situation at the pre
(17:42):
at the situation with his team at his press conference
earlier today. This is sound from Monday. Here is what
he had to say about what needs to change with
his program.
Speaker 11 (17:52):
We got to go to work on the football part,
you know, and I think we got to get more
We got to become a more consistent team, and we
have to execute better. And if we can focus on
those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
basement saying and you know, rural central Florida on social media,
then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Right, So let me ask you this future.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
First of all, I had several Florida fans point out
they don't have basements in Florida because they flood during
hurricane season. So that's neither here nor there, you know what,
that's the I'm just going to shut up. That's the
first time you have heard that sound. So I'm going
to give you the floor on what you think about
Billion Apier calling out fans in rural central Florida in
(18:38):
their basements on social media.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Wow that and number one, that is the first time
I'm hearing that.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
You can play it again.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
If you want to hear it again, Please do play
that for me again, brother, Play that said.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
This was Billionapier at his press conference today.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
We got to go to work on the football part,
and I think we got to get more. We got
to become a more consistent team, and we have to
execute better. And if we can focus on those things
and not necessarily what some guy in his basement saying,
and you know, rural central Florida, I got social.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Media, then yeah, that's that's bad. That's bad. That's bad.
That's bad. That's real bad. Let me tell you something
right now. The one thing that I coach with my kids,
the one thing that I talk to my friends about,
even like let's say, for like the dating world, right
even in your friendships, your relationships with your family, accountability
is so important in life. That sounded like he's blaming
(19:31):
the kids and he's blaming the fan. I don't give
a I don't give a damn about a fan and
what a fan says. Even about VJ the radio guy,
I don't read that stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I'm the one in the chair.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're not.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And I hate to sound like that jerk radio guy,
but that is just the fact. I'm the head coach
of Florida. We play for the Gators, we represent. You
had Javon Curse here, you had Tim Tebow here, Andy
Warful and his son was there, and this is the
product you put on the field and you go to
the podium and the first thing you do is escape
(20:08):
yourself of accountability, opposite of what Brian Kelly did.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And I gave him a salute.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
This is bad. Now I'm starting, Aaron. I was trying
to wrap my head around a lot of people really
saying that this guy's not gonna last you yourself. I
would listen to you guys on the right home the
other you and other people. They're like, bro, this guy
and all the jokes, and I'm like, oh, what is
it so bad about coach Naper. I'm trying to figure
it out. Maybe I haven't been watching them close enough.
I cover a lot of stuff, man, so some stuff
(20:34):
slips through my fingers. But wow, this was really really
bad for an upper echelon coach and an upper echelon program,
the Florida Gators, the swamp for you to say, we
got to get back to the football part and don't work.
Who's worried about it? Coach? Let me ask you that
who are you talking to? Are you reading social media?
(20:54):
Is your defensive coordinator reading social media?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Who are you talking?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh, you must be talking about the players. That's bad, bro,
That is so much unaccountability. That actually just kind of
pissed me off.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Just now.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, and you know what actually pisses me off is
there was a lot of negativity around the program. Wow,
but the Florida fans showed out on Saturday pact not
I actually looked before the game. It was about the
get in price in a stadium that holds ninety thousand
people was close to two hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Okay, so it's like one hundred and sixty one hundred.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And seventy bucks. Your fans had your back. Your fans
were begging to just have a good product on the field.
And me and JMR talked about this on Saturday. If
you lose to on a walk off field goal, and
it's the best game that's ever been played. That's one thing.
But you get embarrassed at home to arrival. And this
(21:48):
is a point you brought up earlier VJ about Brian Kelly,
which is a good one. It's year three for Billion Apier,
It's year three for Mario Cristobal. This is the Portal era.
I'm not saying, hey, you gotta beat Georgia, and I'll
be honest the Gator fans that I talked to it
wasn't about we have to beat Georgia and Texas, who
are both on the schedule later in the year. But
(22:09):
this is a game in state rival thirty year head
coach at Miami. It's not like Crystal Ball's been there
ten years and his thing's been rolling at the highest level.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
He's had to flip his program around.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
He had to flip his program around. He took over
the same time you did.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So that is where my frustration would be if I
was a Gators fan, because I'm sitting there saying I
came out, I spent hundreds of my hard earned dollars,
and you're.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Worried about me in my basement.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
How about you worry about blocking and tackling because he
didn't do very much.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Of that on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Man that, like I said, that really just got to
me because you can't. You have no business being a
coach of a Power five Conference school if you can't
just stand at the podium and just say, look, it's
on us, it's on the coaches. We got a coach better.
I hate to bring this back around on myself. My
team didn't play so well this past week. He's a
high school football I coach. I coach Birmingham School. Also
(23:02):
shout out to coach full day. He just text me
he's listening. I'm bringing more listeners. Coach Chef Jasmine just
Chef Jazman was listening too. I'm bringing more listeners the
Fox Sports Radio. But I told my team after film studying,
I said, I'm gonna take fifty percent of the blame.
I didn't coach you guys up this week. It's on me, okay,
But now that we're past stat the stuff that I've
been coaching here on you're still not doing. But there
(23:23):
are a lot of mistakes. I will own same thing.
After the scrimmage we had two weeks ago. I'm the
first one to say, listen, I'm gonna take some of
the blame on this because I gotta I gotta coach
you better. I gotta figure out how to get to
all of you guys individually mentally and get you to
the point that I can make you good young men
first and then good football players. That's how I approach
every single day I step on the field with my whistle.
(23:45):
But I will never just say, oh man, it's the
kids and the kids on the internet and the kids
on this guess what. The Internet's not going nowhere. Social
media is not going nowhere. Kids on TikTok and brand
nil money, you got people make it, you got stuff.
Every time I cut on the internet, Juju Smith and
Juju al Watkins is doing something new right and beautiful
young lady out here in La there doing her thing
(24:06):
for USC But that's the world we're in as grown men.
We need to adjust to that as coaches, not try
to tell them not to do it, because that's not
gonna work. I tried that. That's not gonna work. You
have to learn how to adjust and be accountable to
what you were doing. He didn't have them ready to play.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, that's two other things on top of everything else.
Is he said, we just have to execute better. They
had two penalties for twenty five yards. Now, both of
them were crushing penalties because they kept drives going. But
it's not like it's not like they lost because eleven
penalties for one hundred and fifteen yards.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
They turn.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, they lost because Miami was better at every single
freaking position. But here's the other thing too, man, there's
a way to tell your players. And this is one
thing I think Saban did a good job of to
block out the noise without calling out the fans. He
could have even said it in a manner like this, Hey,
you know, we need to execute better. To your point, VJ,
(25:03):
we need to execute better. A lot of it is
on me. I didn't do a good enough job having
them ready, but we also got to make sure that
they block out the noise and focus on the guys
in this building. But to call out the fans specifically
who are angry, and by the way, fans have a
right to be angry, okay because the product stinks. By
(25:23):
the way, just for people who don't know all of
the facts. Back to back losing seasons, he's now eleven
and fifteen as the Florida head coach. It says year three,
six and ten in the SEC, lost to Vanderbilt in
year one. Last year lost to Arkansas, which was their
only SEC win, their first ever win at the Swamp.
So it's not just that you're losing to Georgia and
(25:44):
now Texas is on the schedule. Whatever, You're losing team
two teams that the Florida Gators should never lose to.
But then again, you get embarrassed by Miami when that
program is on the same timeline and trajectory as you are.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
And not only that, all they really added they have
somelent there, but their main piece they just brought in
a quarterback from Nil, a transfer kid. Like it wasn't
like it was a whole roster overhaul, and they have
all these top notched kids. If you get enough good
portal kids, you could put together a pretty damn good
football team. Okay, you get a receiver from Mississippi State
(26:17):
and then they get you get a kicker from Arkansas State.
Em you get a left guard from Akron, and yeah,
you can find a bunch of good kids and your
coaches better. You guys better. Dill in. It's not going anywhere.
God like me, loves it. If I can change my
program in a year and a half, if I can
change my program in sixteen months, just by convincing the
kids to leave that smaller college or that other program
(26:38):
where he feels maybe underappreciated, where he feels a little disrespected. Yeah, buddy,
come over here. We'll show you love over here. Oh,
by the way, we got filetman, young and lobster. Every
Tuesday and Wednesday, we feed you good. You can go
twenty four to seven. We don't put no restraints on it.
All the gatorade, all the water, all the protein shapes,
we got all that for you. Brother. Don't worry. We'll
take care of everything. Okay, just come play football here, baby,
(26:59):
Transfer your credits over here, baby, come get your degree
over here. You better lock in napier. Doesn't feel like
I got to get do that also too. You want
to talk about some of these numbers had one hundred
and thirty nine yards on the ground. They were running
the football like they were one on one play exactly, true, true,
seventy one on one play. You're right, okay, well, eighty
six stat thanks Aaron.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
No, but That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Is they got you.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You and Martin were on during the game, so I
know you couldn't watch as close as I would. But
it's like, dude, like you just got embarrased. And the
other thing, too, is this is just coaching pr That's
not what a fan wants. Even even if you were,
even if you really think that's to blame, which you shouldn't.
But even if the negativity is getting to you, which
(27:44):
it shouldn't. You get paid eight nine million dollars a year,
you know, by the way telling your players to block
it out to the point you just brought up vj I,
it must mean that you're paying attention to it.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So he probably blame on the players because he's paying
attention to it and the fact is not the players, bro,
and the fans who are paying.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I know, people get mad when he says that the
fans don't pay your salary to you know whatever. The
fans are a big part of what allows you to
get paid eight nine million dollars or whatever it is,
and it's like to blame the fans.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I never get that, Aaron. I just never do it, Aaron.
When I read back, like you know, negative comments on
like Twitter or youtubeor whatever. A lot of times I
normally comment back, Hey, I appreciate I appreciate you tuning in,
thanks for the support. Yeah, how this guy get a show?
If they're that all guy that VJ guys on, I
hate this guy. Tell them thanks for listening and I
appreciate your support. I don't need the I don't need
(28:37):
the fire back. Once again, you're the coach, none of
those guys. If any of those guys could coach that's
talking about you, they'd be coaching.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
They're not.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
You are the head coach of the Florida Gators the swamp.
You don't need to be paying attention to none of
that stuff. You're the one that's listening to the noise.
The kids aren't tell you the five hundred and twenty
nine yards a total offense for the Canes. Would you
talk to your defense?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And I just go back to If anything, I give
the fans credit because coming off back to back losing seasons,
they were loud and they were ready to go in
that game. Florida ends up losing, by the way, doesn't
get much easier for them. They get Texas A and
m at home in two weeks and obviously I think
most people know about the back half of the schedule.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Hardest schedule in college football. Yes, last five.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Games are against teams that were ranked in the preseason
Top fifteen. Georgia on and neutral at Texas, LSU at home,
Ole Miss at home at Florida State. Oh, by the way,
also got a trip to Tennessee mixed in there.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Four and eight loading, four.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
And eight loading.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
If me and J Martin went over this the other
day on our show, is I mean, you can pull
up schedule if you want.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
It's hard. It's hard to find the wins.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Because because you know, and I told J Martin this
the other day, is you know, everybody freaks out about
the schedule in June and July, but stuff happens, right
look at Florida State all of a sudden, Florida State
isn't as good as we think, right A and M
maybe not as far along as we think. So I
just bring it up because there was a window where
you're like, Okay, well if this break's right, and that
(30:03):
breaks right, they get get to six and six, seven
and five. Because what I can tell you, I know
this for a fact, Florida doesn't want to fight. They
don't want to pay him. He bowed over twenty five
million dollars in buyout money. They want this to work,
but you look at that schedule man A and M
in a couple of weeks at Mississippi State. That's not
going to be easy because that place is loud. It's
just four and eight might be loading. And if four
(30:26):
and eight happens, he ain't keeping that HU money.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Money don't matter, bro. The saga and I talked about
that the other day, is the bios like twenty plus
million dollars. Dog, that's that's peanuts to them. They listen.
They want to win, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
And you know the other thing too, And I know
most people know this, but most of it is either
offset if he gets another job or like the Jimbo
Fisher like people were freaking out about the buyout. Then
you find out it's like paid out over like a
ten year period. So it's like, yeah, you don't want
to be paying a guy seven million dollars a year
not to coach, but you're not giving him a check
for seventy five million dollars tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, so we'll see. I'm not rooting against him, But
that quote right, there was just shocking.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, that was shocking. Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
And he's one that's usually pretty careful with his words.
But whatever, if you missed it again, Billy and Napier
are calling out fans in their basements in rural central Florida.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And as I had a couple.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Of people point out to me on Twitter when I
saw this video, most places in central Florida don't have basements,
of course, because of hurricanes. It was hurricane season in
the swamp. I can tell you that because cam Ward
and those boys ran through him.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Sam, what time is it?
Speaker 9 (32:44):
This is game time? Game on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Nick,
what game are we playing today? Momm Big deal, little deal,
no deal. Okay, all right, I got some more college
football for you. You've hit on some of the big stuff.
But big deal, little deal, no deal.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
That Miami quarterback cam Ward formerly of Washington State, kind
of trashing the environment at the swamp. He said, Oregon,
in USC and Washington all louder than Ben Hill Griffiths Stadium.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Wow, what do you got me?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
This is a big deal. And I love him, baby,
because not only is he trashing him, he went in
there and trashed that Gator defense into swamp too. I
like Moxie, man, there's nothing wrong in football. You need it.
I'm all with this. And listen, the reason why I
was quiet in there is because they were getting their
ass what and that's kind of what Cam was saying.
So I'm with this, man. Give me a big deal
on this one.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'll say a big deal only because Billion Napier can't
stop taking l's on the field.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Off the field.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
We got some sound that you're gonna hear at the
top of the hour that is sort of mind boggling.
But this is just more dirt on the Billion Napier grave.
It's unbelievable. I'll say big deal for that.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Reason, all right.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Circling back around to LSU big deal, little deal, no
deal that Brian Kelly has now lost five of his
last six as against ap top twenty five teams.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Wow, it's a good stat I mean it's got to
be a big deal, right, I mean, listen, you know,
and we talked you know you've heard me do this
rant VJ.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
But we talk about this with Ryan Day all the time.
When people were like, how can.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
You criticize Ryan Days fifty two and five, It's like, Yeah,
you don't get paid at Ohio State to beat Rutgers
in Indiana.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
You get paid to beat Michigan and win national championships.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
And so I think that's a big deal because lsu
ain't you know Kentucky or Vanderbilt or South Carolina. You're
there to win national championships at the highest level. I
will say that is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
I tell you, man, I wish we had a different
one called bigger deal because I think it's the bigger
than a big deal, because Aaron is right, you were
to ls shoot to win national championships. I e. Les
Miles and mister Nick Saban, sir, you are not there
to be You're not there to beat Vanderbilt, South Carolina,
Kentucky and you know.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
You're there to win. And this goes back to Norda Dame.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Right, He's in Nordon Dame and just couldn't really figure
out how to beat the top IGN teams. And then
getting crashed in the National Championship Game against Alabama. Right,
so this is a this is a big deal, but
in my eyes, this is bigger than the big deal.
This is alarming.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
A big win for Vanderbilt by the way, yes, jan Tech.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, blowing a seventeen nothing leading then coming back and
finishing that.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Nice job.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
All right, let's go to the NFL. Big deal, little deal,
no deal that Russell Wilson was named a captain for
the Steelers and he's the only captain on the offensive
side of the ball for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I'll just be quick, I'll say little deal. It feels
like every quarterback is named captain. I remember we had
this conversation with tu A little deal for.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Me, Little deal for me too, because that's all he
gonna be able to do is bring a little bit
to this offense. So I guess you got to give
him some type of responsibility or give him some type
of clout because he's lost it all in my eyes.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
All right, squeeze one more in here. Big deal, little deal,
no deal That the Rams have hired former Nebraska and
UCF coach Scott Frost as a senior football anal list.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
It's really no deal to me because he showed he
wasn't good, so you had to fire him.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
He had his Central Florida run.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
But that's about it for Scott Falls. I think when
he played safety for the Jets, like gim Prompt said,
he was good there on the Bill Parcells.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I'll say, no deal as well. Just doesn't really happy
he's working. But nothing for me. That was game time.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Game This is.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Appreciate you, Nick, Appreciate a fun first hour. Guess what
we got More college football coming up, Doug Gottlieb Show,
