Colin gives his instant reaction to the 49ers beating the Panthers 20-9 on Monday Night Football.
He believes Brock Purdy still isn’t 100% as he wasn’t able to get velocity on deeper throws leading to multiple interceptions, and an injured and depleted 49ers roster isn’t top 10 in the league. On the Panthers side, Colin highlights the limitations of quarterback Bryce Young and believes the Panthers need to draft another QB.
Finally, he weighs in the AD at Ole Miss saying Lane Kiffin will “lose credibility” if he leaves, and Colin pushes back and argues that the only thing that gives you credibility in football is WINNING.

I'll try with Florida. In Florida offered by Seminol Hard

you know has a problem wants help, call one eight
hundred and nine with it. Gambling problem called one eight
hundred gambler Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia.
(01:30):
All right, it's official. San Francisco beats Carolina at twenty
to nine. I had Carolina plus seven tonight. Listen, San
Francisco tried to give the ball away. San Francisco right
now is not a very good team. I don't have
him as a top ten team. I think the coaching
staff has done a remarkable job. I mean, even Christian McCaffrey,
(01:52):
he you know, he can't average four and a half
yards of pop. Robert Sala is doing it with smoking mirror.
Sala's going to get a head coaching opportunity. You know,
he's got charisma, he's got some alpha he's had, He's
done an unbelievable job. No Bosa, no Warner. They lost.
You know, Green Lawn have funk in the offseason. It's
really a bunch of kids and they play, they play
(02:14):
their rass off and there's just so many different angles tonight.
Let's just start with Brock Purdy. I don't think Brock
Perty is one hundred percent. Two of his first half
interceptions he had three two are the identical interception. The
ball had no velocity, the ball hung in the air,
the ball was behind the receiver. They just were duplicate interceptions.
(02:34):
That tells me he can't drive the ball. But mac
Jones was playing well. Shanahan wants Pretty back in because
with Purty you can move the pocket, so it allows
more plays and more mobility from a quarterback position. Mac
is simply a pocket quarterback. Pretty moves better. So Shanahan
wants Pretty. Perty wants to play because he wants to
play as a pro athlete. Mac Jones is playing well,
(02:56):
so they bring him back, and I don't think he's
one hundred percent healthy. Goal. Look at the first two
interceptions by brock Purty, no velocity, ball hangs in the air,
both balls thrown behind the receiver. It's like an old
pitcher that doesn't have his fastball that's thrown ninety two,
not ninety eight. So I don't think Purty can step
into it. I don't think Purty's healthy. But again, it's
(03:17):
the NFL. Not everybody's healthy. And also, when brock Purtty
took over the Niners, in his first twenty starts, he
had one hundred and fourteen passer rating, forty touchdowns and
thirteen picks. The roster was more complete, right, you just
had a more stacked roster. Well, Denver, San Francisco has
moved off players, and now the roster has got injuries.
(03:41):
You know you're a yux not available. Ricky Pearsoll's been gone.
He was back tonight. In the last twenty starts, including tonight,
brock Purty's last twenty starts, thirty touchdowns, nineteen interceptions, and
a passer rating that's equal to Tua. And what did
I always call brock Purty a right handed tua, a
(04:02):
little mobility, not a big arm, little injury prone Tua.
Don't trust them in cold weather. Rock Purty's had ball
security issues in wet weather. It's the same guy, it
really is. I think Tua throws a more accurate ball consistently.
I think Purty's a little bit better athlete and a
(04:22):
much more aggressive throw over the football. But in the
last twenty starts with injuries, and you have to move
off people because you're paying Purty and other people. Now,
Brock Purtty's a mid ninety mid ninety passer rating guy
with injuries. That's what he is. Don't shoot the messenger.
That's what he is right now. And he just gave
(04:45):
that game. Put it in Bryce Young's hands. I think
Dan Morgan's a very good general manager for Carolina, and
Dave Canalis I think's really bright. I think you're pretty
limited with Bryce Young. I don't think he's terrible. He's
got a nice mobil, but he's small. And I'll give
you an example. So Bryce Young plays at a powerhouse
high school in California. He's protected, He's got fifteen Division
(05:08):
one players on the team. Right he entered every game
with the best team and a legendary high school coach.
Then he goes to Alabama, he's got a legendary coach,
he's got the best roster. Then he goes to Carolina
and this is often, you know, what we see in
the NFL. He didn't really live an NFL life in
high school or college. It's not realistic. He was carried,
he kind of managed games. He was very statistically impressive
(05:31):
in both high school, especially in high school and college.
But then he goes to a bad NFL team and
now he's got to carry him and he doesn't have
that talent. He's not a big athlete. He's got mobility,
but he's not hyper athletic. His arm is pretty average.
You know, he's okay. He's a guy. And you know,
there was an interception he threw in the end zone.
(05:51):
It was one of the first series. It was after
his secondary made a really nice pick and he throws
a pick in the red zone in which, as Trougman said,
he could have just ran it in easily. So he's
just a guy. So I think in these upcoming drafts,
the next two drafts, I think Dan Morgan's gonna go
out and draft another quarterback. I mean, you can keep
(06:11):
telling yourself he's the guy, but you know, would you
trust Bryce Young? And I think they did a nice
job in the draft to upgrade their defense. I really do.
I think Dan Morgan's a sharp guy. I know people
that know him and respect him former player. The defense
he inherited was awful. He's done a nice job to
hit in some draft picks. Ja c Horns a great,
(06:32):
great corner. Two of their young corners, really talented. Both
got hurt tonight. But I think you have to just
look in the mirror and be totally honest. Bryce Young
looks like to me a bridge starter in the NFL,
not a guy build around, not necessarily a backup, but
kind of that Jameis Winston. He's a totally different quarterback
than Jamis Winston, but it's sort of a bridge quarterback.
(06:53):
You can put him in for a year or two.
But I'm not building around Bryce Young. I just, you know,
the small quarterback thing. I think to some degree, you know,
Russell Wilson got a lot of guys got drafted, but increasingly,
you know the Kyler Murray's and the Johnny Manziel's and
the Bryce Youngs and the you know, just it it's
(07:16):
too many big strong, talented athletes playing the position. And
you know it was funny when when when Brock Purty
was still in interceptions, people were like, well, Sam Donald,
Sam Donald's a much bigger, stronger, better arm than Brock Purty,
better athlete than Brock Purty. He's more talented than Brock
Purtty was a first round quarterback. Sam Donald's a really
(07:36):
good quarterback. Okay, if you take out the Jets, go
to Carolina winning record, Minnesota winning record, Seattle on fire.
Donald's a real He's a He's a top twelve starter
in the NFL. Sam Donald is. I mean, look at
his PFF number last year, look at it this year.
When you give him a good coach, when you give
him capable weapons, Sam Donald's really talented. Uh, Brock Purtty
(08:00):
has a great coach, a legendary left tackle George Kittle,
and one of the top five running backs I've ever seen,
and in his last twenty starts. He's a guy. But
that's you know, that's your guy. That's what you're saddled with.
He runs the place Kyle designs, and you know Kyle's
not going to bang on him. I mean, but you
noticed in the second half it didn't feel like they
(08:20):
were throwing the ball down the field much. They were
throwing the ball to George Kittle and underneath that's what
it felt like to me, which is good coaching by
Kyle Shanahan. So, you know, kind of in retrospect, I
just think the Rams right now are the best team
in the league. Seattle feels like a top five team
in the league. Arizona as usual as hopeless. San Francisco's
(08:40):
got a good GM and a good coach and a
solid quarterback play and legendary running back and tight end.
But they're gonna lose Robert Solo because I think one
of the stories of the year has been the quality
of coaching by Sala, doing it with absolute smoke and mirrors.
I mean, just a bunch ofs And you know, Bryce
(09:01):
Young the reason I took Caroline up. Bryce Young had
been playing pretty well, he really had. He'd been playing
pretty well, but Sala dialed up some Blitzer tonight. And
I always think this the ultimate sign of disrespect to
a quarterback is when a defensive coordinator blitzes Nobody blitz Brady,
nobody blitzes Mahomes. Peyton Manning was begging you to blitz him.
(09:26):
The greats love you to blitz. You blitz a quarterback
who can't handle it. You blitz a quarterback and are
willing to put everybody on an island in the back
end because you don't think the quarterback can beat you.
So when Robert Sala is dying dialing up blitzes, he's like, yeah,
I see the tape. I don't You're not gonna beat us.
(09:46):
Team Mac's a very good receiver. Legat's also a big
time body. Team Macs got to catch the ball problem.
But he's a really talented guy. But I think Robert
Sala with a bunch of kids, I mean, it's not
an experienced events with a bunch of kids, is like,
I'm gonna do some blitzing. Beat me. See if you
can beat me. We don't think he can. I also
think in these standalone games, this is just a note,
(10:07):
This is just a little psychology, brock Purty. Standalone games
matter because it's the only game, and everybody in the
league watches it. Everybody in the league watches it. And
I've always felt brock pretty in Monday night football is
a little more reckless. He's sort of trying to prove
I am worth the money. You know what, Brock Purtty
(10:28):
is officially on Monday Night Football, five touchdowns, eleven picks,
and a seventy five passer rating, well below his career average.
I feel like Monday Night Football guy, shrink Bryce Young
tonight shrinks Carolina doesn't get these standalone games. Bryce Young
shrinks game is handed to him. Shrinks Brock pretty trying
way too hard. It's Monday Night Football. Three picks in
(10:51):
the first half and two were atrocious. All three were bad,
two were atrocious. But San Francisco wins really good coaching,
and you know, Carolina is a second third tier franchise,
you know, you know, I've criticized Buffalo because I don't
think the franchise is holding up their end of the deal.
(11:11):
For Josh Allen, Carolina, it's the opposite. I think Dan
Morgan and Dave Canalis are really really good. You know,
I love drafts. I think Morgan's done a really nice job,
some real hits, and I think, you know, I think
with Bryce Young, you know, maybe you can, maybe you
(11:32):
can be a wild card team in the NFC South.
That's what it feels like to me, you know, I
mean you watched it. If you get three first half turnovers,
got to win the game against a young, young defense
without their two biggest stars, you gotta win the game.
(11:52):
It's just no, that's w and Carolina couldn't do it.
So there you go, Monday night football. All right. I
want to add another piece on the Lane Kiffin story.
So the athletic director for ole Miss has said, listen,
we got to have an answer after the Egg Bowl
(12:14):
this Friday. Joel Clatt, who I love, but Joel Clatt
has come out and said, well, Lane Kiffin is going
to lose credibility if he leaves time out. Credibility in
college football is winning. Lane Kiffen basically Saban kicked him
off his staff. He bolted Tennessee, he got fired on
(12:35):
a tarmac, got fired in the NFL. He's the hottest
coach in the country. Why he wins games. He's a
really smart offensive coach. Nobody cares about that. Everybody knows
college football is. It's like it's like bitcoin. It's unregulated.
It's every man for himself, no centralized bank. I mean
(12:58):
Fox and ESPNA taking the sport over. That's what college
football is. It's bitcoin, it's people that love it myself included,
very passionate about it. People very tribal about it, very
parochial about it. Absolutely sure it's the future. Absolutely sure,
it's better than the NFL. I mean reputation. Just win
(13:22):
games and you'll get job offers. And Lane Kiffin's the
number one, the number one currently higher in the sport
he is, I mean he is in the NFL. The
Chargers when they had Herbert and there was an opening
and they fired their coach, the Chargers with the number
(13:44):
one opening in the sport in Jim Harbort went, I'm
leaving right Like, you get these rare opportunities. Aaron Rodgers
in his prime, Mike McCarthy gets fired. Green Bay's a
great job. And then you get these great coaches who
are a va to the market. And it doesn't happen
very often, but you know, occasionally Mike Vrabel is available
(14:06):
to the market. New England's like, yeah, you know, you
don't get a lot of Mike Frabele. Sean Peyton broadcast
wants to go back into coaching. You don't get a
lot of Sean Payton's on the market in college. Lane
Kiffen on the market is Sean Payton on the market
in the NFL, big time offensive coach, highly creative, respected
(14:27):
by recruits. You can't reputation. What does that mean? I mean,
everybody knows Jimmy Sexton runs the sport. You know, he's
the kingmaker behind the scenes, pulling all the strings. And
the bottom line is, I mean LSU doesn't care about
Old Miss. LSU doesn't care about anybody but Old Miss.
(14:47):
That's the way college football works. NFL's different. You can't
just raid teams in the middle of a season. So
I don't blame I said this today on FS one.
If you don't have regulations on Wall Street or Silicon
Valley or on our tax system, aggressive people are going
to go forward. I mean college football allows all this
what you expect everybody to have manners Lane Kiffin to
(15:09):
just wait and twiddle his thumbs and let somebody else
get these fourteen million dollars year jobs. If you don't
put regulations up Lane Kiffn's like LSU's one of the
top three four jobs in the country. I want to
take it. Ole Miss is like eighteenth best, fifteenth best
somewhere around there. Right, So it's I mean, just in
the SEC alone, Texas better job. I'd argue Oklahoma's a
(15:30):
better job. LSU's a better job, Bama is a better job,
Florida is a better job. Did I say, Georgia, what
do we at six or seven? And then then I
mean Lane Kiffin has made old Miss Ole miss didn't
make Lane Kiffin. So I mean literally, Nick Sabin changed
the way he saw football and Lane Kiffin was on
his staff. Lane started to practice working Saban's defenses. And
(15:55):
so I'm scor any way. I want the rules are
all on my side now. So well, the reality is
pretty clear is that you can't. I just disagree with
Joel Klatt. This whole thing about your reputation reputation is
you know what they say in baseball, momentum is the
next day's pitcher. Your reputation is the next Saturday on
(16:16):
the slate. Do you win, do you lose? That's your reputation.
And maybe it's not perfect, but let's not make this
the Vatican. This is college football. It is it is boxing,
it is bitcoin. It's unregulated. People don't play even schedules.
It's every man for himself. Everybody's tribal, you know, And
(16:36):
because of the wonky way college football works. If you
want the job, what's Lane supposed to what's LSU supposed
to do? Wait for the playoffs? What if Ole miss
wins three games? You're sitting there waiting. What you're recruiting?
What are we doing? You gotta make moves right change
the recruiting period. Put in, as Nick Saban said, it's
a college football conundrum. It's not a Kiffin issue. Put in.
(17:00):
I mean, it's just like the NIL even the NFL
as a free agent period. You know you've got a
recruiting period. You should have a coach hiring period at
the end of the season. The volume

I'll try with Florida. In Florida offered by Seminol Hard
Rock Digital LLC. In older states. Must be twenty one
plus and physically president in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
(01:08):

and eight. Admit it in Indiana. If you are somebody
you know has a problem wants help, call one eight
hundred and nine with it. Gambling problem called one eight
hundred gambler Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia.
(01:30):
All right, it's official. San Francisco beats Carolina at twenty
to nine. I had Carolina plus seven tonight. Listen, San
Francisco tried to give the ball away. San Francisco right
now is not a very good team. I don't have
him as a top ten team. I think the coaching
staff has done a remarkable job. I mean, even Christian McCaffrey,
(01:52):
he you know, he can't average four and a half
yards of pop. Robert Sala is doing it with smoking mirror.
Sala's going to get a head coaching opportunity. You know,
he's got charisma, he's got some alpha he's had, He's
done an unbelievable job. No Bosa, no Warner. They lost.
You know, Green Lawn have funk in the offseason. It's
really a bunch of kids and they play, they play
(02:14):
their rass off and there's just so many different angles tonight.
Let's just start with Brock Purdy. I don't think Brock
Perty is one hundred percent. Two of his first half
interceptions he had three two are the identical interception. The
ball had no velocity, the ball hung in the air,
the ball was behind the receiver. They just were duplicate interceptions.
(02:34):
That tells me he can't drive the ball. But mac
Jones was playing well. Shanahan wants Pretty back in because
with Purty you can move the pocket, so it allows
more plays and more mobility from a quarterback position. Mac
is simply a pocket quarterback. Pretty moves better. So Shanahan
wants Pretty. Perty wants to play because he wants to
play as a pro athlete. Mac Jones is playing well,
(02:56):
so they bring him back, and I don't think he's
one hundred percent healthy. Goal. Look at the first two
interceptions by brock Purty, no velocity, ball hangs in the air,
both balls thrown behind the receiver. It's like an old
pitcher that doesn't have his fastball that's thrown ninety two,
not ninety eight. So I don't think Purty can step
into it. I don't think Purty's healthy. But again, it's
(03:17):
the NFL. Not everybody's healthy. And also, when brock Purtty
took over the Niners, in his first twenty starts, he
had one hundred and fourteen passer rating, forty touchdowns and
thirteen picks. The roster was more complete, right, you just
had a more stacked roster. Well, Denver, San Francisco has
moved off players, and now the roster has got injuries.
(03:41):
You know you're a yux not available. Ricky Pearsoll's been gone.
He was back tonight. In the last twenty starts, including tonight,
brock Purty's last twenty starts, thirty touchdowns, nineteen interceptions, and
a passer rating that's equal to Tua. And what did
I always call brock Purty a right handed tua, a
(04:02):
little mobility, not a big arm, little injury prone Tua.
Don't trust them in cold weather. Rock Purty's had ball
security issues in wet weather. It's the same guy, it
really is. I think Tua throws a more accurate ball consistently.
I think Purty's a little bit better athlete and a
(04:22):
much more aggressive throw over the football. But in the
last twenty starts with injuries, and you have to move
off people because you're paying Purty and other people. Now,
Brock Purtty's a mid ninety mid ninety passer rating guy
with injuries. That's what he is. Don't shoot the messenger.
That's what he is right now. And he just gave
(04:45):
that game. Put it in Bryce Young's hands. I think
Dan Morgan's a very good general manager for Carolina, and
Dave Canalis I think's really bright. I think you're pretty
limited with Bryce Young. I don't think he's terrible. He's
got a nice mobil, but he's small. And I'll give
you an example. So Bryce Young plays at a powerhouse
high school in California. He's protected, He's got fifteen Division
(05:08):
one players on the team. Right he entered every game
with the best team and a legendary high school coach.
Then he goes to Alabama, he's got a legendary coach,
he's got the best roster. Then he goes to Carolina
and this is often, you know, what we see in
the NFL. He didn't really live an NFL life in
high school or college. It's not realistic. He was carried,
he kind of managed games. He was very statistically impressive
(05:31):
in both high school, especially in high school and college.
But then he goes to a bad NFL team and
now he's got to carry him and he doesn't have
that talent. He's not a big athlete. He's got mobility,
but he's not hyper athletic. His arm is pretty average.
You know, he's okay. He's a guy. And you know,
there was an interception he threw in the end zone.
(05:51):
It was one of the first series. It was after
his secondary made a really nice pick and he throws
a pick in the red zone in which, as Trougman said,
he could have just ran it in easily. So he's
just a guy. So I think in these upcoming drafts,
the next two drafts, I think Dan Morgan's gonna go
out and draft another quarterback. I mean, you can keep
(06:11):
telling yourself he's the guy, but you know, would you
trust Bryce Young? And I think they did a nice
job in the draft to upgrade their defense. I really do.
I think Dan Morgan's a sharp guy. I know people
that know him and respect him former player. The defense
he inherited was awful. He's done a nice job to
hit in some draft picks. Ja c Horns a great,
(06:32):
great corner. Two of their young corners, really talented. Both
got hurt tonight. But I think you have to just
look in the mirror and be totally honest. Bryce Young
looks like to me a bridge starter in the NFL,
not a guy build around, not necessarily a backup, but
kind of that Jameis Winston. He's a totally different quarterback
than Jamis Winston, but it's sort of a bridge quarterback.
(06:53):
You can put him in for a year or two.
But I'm not building around Bryce Young. I just, you know,
the small quarterback thing. I think to some degree, you know,
Russell Wilson got a lot of guys got drafted, but increasingly,
you know the Kyler Murray's and the Johnny Manziel's and
the Bryce Youngs and the you know, just it it's
(07:16):
too many big strong, talented athletes playing the position. And
you know it was funny when when when Brock Purty
was still in interceptions, people were like, well, Sam Donald,
Sam Donald's a much bigger, stronger, better arm than Brock Purty,
better athlete than Brock Purty. He's more talented than Brock
Purtty was a first round quarterback. Sam Donald's a really
(07:36):
good quarterback. Okay, if you take out the Jets, go
to Carolina winning record, Minnesota winning record, Seattle on fire.
Donald's a real He's a He's a top twelve starter
in the NFL. Sam Donald is. I mean, look at
his PFF number last year, look at it this year.
When you give him a good coach, when you give
him capable weapons, Sam Donald's really talented. Uh, Brock Purtty
(08:00):
has a great coach, a legendary left tackle George Kittle,
and one of the top five running backs I've ever seen,
and in his last twenty starts. He's a guy. But
that's you know, that's your guy. That's what you're saddled with.
He runs the place Kyle designs, and you know Kyle's
not going to bang on him. I mean, but you
noticed in the second half it didn't feel like they
(08:20):
were throwing the ball down the field much. They were
throwing the ball to George Kittle and underneath that's what
it felt like to me, which is good coaching by
Kyle Shanahan. So, you know, kind of in retrospect, I
just think the Rams right now are the best team
in the league. Seattle feels like a top five team
in the league. Arizona as usual as hopeless. San Francisco's
(08:40):
got a good GM and a good coach and a
solid quarterback play and legendary running back and tight end.
But they're gonna lose Robert Solo because I think one
of the stories of the year has been the quality
of coaching by Sala, doing it with absolute smoke and mirrors.
I mean, just a bunch ofs And you know, Bryce
(09:01):
Young the reason I took Caroline up. Bryce Young had
been playing pretty well, he really had. He'd been playing
pretty well, but Sala dialed up some Blitzer tonight. And
I always think this the ultimate sign of disrespect to
a quarterback is when a defensive coordinator blitzes Nobody blitz Brady,
nobody blitzes Mahomes. Peyton Manning was begging you to blitz him.
(09:26):
The greats love you to blitz. You blitz a quarterback
who can't handle it. You blitz a quarterback and are
willing to put everybody on an island in the back
end because you don't think the quarterback can beat you.
So when Robert Sala is dying dialing up blitzes, he's like, yeah,
I see the tape. I don't You're not gonna beat us.
(09:46):
Team Mac's a very good receiver. Legat's also a big
time body. Team Macs got to catch the ball problem.
But he's a really talented guy. But I think Robert
Sala with a bunch of kids, I mean, it's not
an experienced events with a bunch of kids, is like,
I'm gonna do some blitzing. Beat me. See if you
can beat me. We don't think he can. I also
think in these standalone games, this is just a note,
(10:07):
This is just a little psychology, brock Purty. Standalone games
matter because it's the only game, and everybody in the
league watches it. Everybody in the league watches it. And
I've always felt brock pretty in Monday night football is
a little more reckless. He's sort of trying to prove
I am worth the money. You know what, Brock Purtty
(10:28):
is officially on Monday Night Football, five touchdowns, eleven picks,
and a seventy five passer rating, well below his career average.
I feel like Monday Night Football guy, shrink Bryce Young
tonight shrinks Carolina doesn't get these standalone games. Bryce Young
shrinks game is handed to him. Shrinks Brock pretty trying
way too hard. It's Monday Night Football. Three picks in
(10:51):
the first half and two were atrocious. All three were bad,
two were atrocious. But San Francisco wins really good coaching,
and you know, Carolina is a second third tier franchise,
you know, you know, I've criticized Buffalo because I don't
think the franchise is holding up their end of the deal.
(11:11):
For Josh Allen, Carolina, it's the opposite. I think Dan
Morgan and Dave Canalis are really really good. You know,
I love drafts. I think Morgan's done a really nice job,
some real hits, and I think, you know, I think
with Bryce Young, you know, maybe you can, maybe you
(11:32):
can be a wild card team in the NFC South.
That's what it feels like to me, you know, I
mean you watched it. If you get three first half turnovers,
got to win the game against a young, young defense
without their two biggest stars, you gotta win the game.
(11:52):
It's just no, that's w and Carolina couldn't do it.
So there you go, Monday night football. All right. I
want to add another piece on the Lane Kiffin story.
So the athletic director for ole Miss has said, listen,
we got to have an answer after the Egg Bowl
(12:14):
this Friday. Joel Clatt, who I love, but Joel Clatt
has come out and said, well, Lane Kiffin is going
to lose credibility if he leaves time out. Credibility in
college football is winning. Lane Kiffen basically Saban kicked him
off his staff. He bolted Tennessee, he got fired on
(12:35):
a tarmac, got fired in the NFL. He's the hottest
coach in the country. Why he wins games. He's a
really smart offensive coach. Nobody cares about that. Everybody knows
college football is. It's like it's like bitcoin. It's unregulated.
It's every man for himself, no centralized bank. I mean
(12:58):
Fox and ESPNA taking the sport over. That's what college
football is. It's bitcoin, it's people that love it myself included,
very passionate about it. People very tribal about it, very
parochial about it. Absolutely sure it's the future. Absolutely sure,
it's better than the NFL. I mean reputation. Just win
(13:22):
games and you'll get job offers. And Lane Kiffin's the
number one, the number one currently higher in the sport
he is, I mean he is in the NFL. The
Chargers when they had Herbert and there was an opening
and they fired their coach, the Chargers with the number
(13:44):
one opening in the sport in Jim Harbort went, I'm
leaving right Like, you get these rare opportunities. Aaron Rodgers
in his prime, Mike McCarthy gets fired. Green Bay's a
great job. And then you get these great coaches who
are a va to the market. And it doesn't happen
very often, but you know, occasionally Mike Vrabel is available
(14:06):
to the market. New England's like, yeah, you know, you
don't get a lot of Mike Frabele. Sean Peyton broadcast
wants to go back into coaching. You don't get a
lot of Sean Payton's on the market in college. Lane
Kiffen on the market is Sean Payton on the market
in the NFL, big time offensive coach, highly creative, respected
(14:27):
by recruits. You can't reputation. What does that mean? I mean,
everybody knows Jimmy Sexton runs the sport. You know, he's
the kingmaker behind the scenes, pulling all the strings. And
the bottom line is, I mean LSU doesn't care about
Old Miss. LSU doesn't care about anybody but Old Miss.
(14:47):
That's the way college football works. NFL's different. You can't
just raid teams in the middle of a season. So
I don't blame I said this today on FS one.
If you don't have regulations on Wall Street or Silicon
Valley or on our tax system, aggressive people are going
to go forward. I mean college football allows all this
what you expect everybody to have manners Lane Kiffin to
(15:09):
just wait and twiddle his thumbs and let somebody else
get these fourteen million dollars year jobs. If you don't
put regulations up Lane Kiffn's like LSU's one of the
top three four jobs in the country. I want to
take it. Ole Miss is like eighteenth best, fifteenth best
somewhere around there. Right, So it's I mean, just in
the SEC alone, Texas better job. I'd argue Oklahoma's a
(15:30):
better job. LSU's a better job, Bama is a better job,
Florida is a better job. Did I say, Georgia, what
do we at six or seven? And then then I
mean Lane Kiffin has made old Miss Ole miss didn't
make Lane Kiffin. So I mean literally, Nick Sabin changed
the way he saw football and Lane Kiffin was on
his staff. Lane started to practice working Saban's defenses. And
(15:55):
so I'm scor any way. I want the rules are
all on my side now. So well, the reality is
pretty clear is that you can't. I just disagree with
Joel Klatt. This whole thing about your reputation reputation is
you know what they say in baseball, momentum is the
next day's pitcher. Your reputation is the next Saturday on
(16:16):
the slate. Do you win, do you lose? That's your reputation.
And maybe it's not perfect, but let's not make this
the Vatican. This is college football. It is it is boxing,
it is bitcoin. It's unregulated. People don't play even schedules.
It's every man for himself. Everybody's tribal, you know, And
(16:36):
because of the wonky way college football works. If you
want the job, what's Lane supposed to what's LSU supposed
to do? Wait for the playoffs? What if Ole miss
wins three games? You're sitting there waiting. What you're recruiting?
What are we doing? You gotta make moves right change
the recruiting period. Put in, as Nick Saban said, it's
a college football conundrum. It's not a Kiffin issue. Put in.
(17:00):
I mean, it's just like the NIL even the NFL
as a free agent period. You know you've got a
recruiting period. You should have a coach hiring period at
the end of the season. The volume
