Speaker 1 (00:00):
Minnesota football coach PJ. Fleck, who lives his whole life
inside the five yard line, talks so fast and says
so much you'd think he's double parked. But once in
a while, if you get past the football gibberish, some
of it has real substance, Like after his team ruined
of the weekend for the whole state of Nebraska by
dominating the Huskers twenty four to six, suddenly sending the
(00:23):
Husker season into an abyss of the unknown, he dropped
this nugget quote, A man distracted is a man defeated unquote.
Not bad, not bad at all. And when you use
the Matt Rule Penn State thing as a backdrop and
lots of other external stuff, the Husker performance among the
(00:43):
least of Rules twenty so far, Nebraska starts making more sense.
Was Matt Rule distracted? Was his team distracted? I don't
know how, Jim says, dripping with sarcasm. His career options
dominated his Monday news conference. He went on the Pat
McAfee show on ESPN and pretty much talked about nothing
(01:06):
but Penn State. Midweek, his starting quarterback was compelled to
open his press conference by saying something like rule was
definitely staying something he probably doesn't know. I promise you
matters not how intimate the coach player relationship is. The
coach does not share career plans. In the case of
(01:27):
rule confiding in Royola, why would he keep that kind
of a nugget secret If he told Dylan that he
wasn't leaving, why leave the rest of us out? And
if Royola is the only player to get that information,
how are the other one hundred and four dudes supposed
to think? Distraction number one? Distraction number two? This social
(01:49):
media garbage about Royola refusing to wear some kind of
solidarity band ahead of a national LGBTQ event, replete with
fictitious quotes about how he doesn't believe in woke and
anonymous remarks from teammates, And why are the stripes on
his football pants whiter than everybody else's? Distraction three nil cash.
(02:12):
There are some guys doing really tall dollars in that
locker room who may not be delivering on the field,
and the other fellas see that, chief among them left
tackle Elijah Pritchett seven figures. Not only is the other
team getting to Ryola, in some cases rushing just two guys,
but Pritchett got flagged for targeting in the game, Dane
(02:32):
Key hasn't caught a pass in two games, Andrew Marshall
misses tackles. Football is a team game. You win and
lose collectively. It's not just one guy. But when a
few guys are making a lot bigger money than the
rest and the team and you don't win, trouble. Now,
this didn't start with a rule. He didn't invent nil
to the transfer portal, but if he is truly committed
(02:55):
to Nebraska, he needs to come out with it and
this metastatic conjecture. Florida is now open VA Tech, UCLA,
Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Florida State, Michigan State, Auburn, and Wisconsin
may be open because of rules reputation and success as
a builder, his persuasive sales skills and network of contacts.
(03:17):
His is a name that will keep popping up on
lists until he scrubs them. Rule needs to publicly and
privately get back to coaching football, making guys better, teaching
game planning in game contingencies, drill work requiring maximum preparation
through maximum focus which leads to maximum performance. I get
(03:40):
that he's the public face of the program. But everything
from podcasts to online videos, to late night boxing matches
to weekly ESPN appearances are fine. When you're winning. You
can do all of that stuff if your staff is
minding the store. Is his offensive line play, play calling,
tackling issues focus what do the result say to you?
(04:01):
And he needs to publicly clam up about nil money
to many Nebraskans who collectively spend seventy five million a
year on football tickets and donations to get the football
tickets after scraping together one hundred and sixty five million
for a new football complex. It's off putting, We get it.
But guilt's a crippler and there is a better way.
