(Starts ~02:58)

Key Discussion Points

    • “Once Christmas is over…” — Bobby (03:27)

• Creative and Offbeat Gifts

  • Bobby gives Mike D a Vince Young signed Longhorn helmet, admitting he can’t keep it himself because, as a fan of another team, it “makes him vomit” to see it in his house.

    • “You can have this... Just mostly because I don’t want it.” — Bobby (05:05)
    • “It’s like getting rid of that cursed doll.” — Bobby (04:52)

  • Eddie receives a flamethrower from TikTok Shop.

  • Mike D also gets a Ninja Turtles pizza slicer.

    • “It slices, it dices.” — Bobby (05:27)
    • Mike, a vegan, is reassured: “I’m sure there’s something you can cut with it though.” — Bobby (06:02)
    • “Sometimes, you know, things pop up on TikTok and you’re like, this is just perfect.” — Eddie (06:34)

      • “Oh, that’s sweet.” — Kevin (10:37)
      • “I’ll keep it here. Put it in my office.” — Bobby (10:52)
    • The team jokes about drugs (painkillers) after surgery and his inability to type.

  • Brandon:

    • Bobby nearly withholds the gift due to Brandon not answering his Zoom call, jokingly counting down before "losing it."
    • The present is a signed Emmitt Smith Cowboys jersey as an apology for previously doubting Brandon’s Dallas Cowboys fandom.
      • “So I have a signed Emmitt Smith jersey here… I’d like to apologize for not knowing that you’re a Cowboy fan.” — Bobby (14:09)
      • “I’m hanging that thing up, man. That’s so awesome. Thank you.” — Brandon (14:53)
    • Eddie is mock-jealous: “Why are you upset? Because that’s an awesome jersey, dude.” (14:58)

• Show Camaraderie and Tradition

  • Lots of ribbing and inside jokes; gift-giving is used to strengthen show bonds, with gifts varying between funny, thoughtful, and “re-gifted” memorabilia.

Segment 2: Interview with Coach Tavita Pritchard

(Begins ~21:43, after ads and transition)

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Returning Home to Stanford

  • Pritchard describes the emotional challenge and excitement of being back at Stanford, calling it “home.” (22:14)
    • “It’s been exciting to get back here.” — Tavita Pritchard (22:17)
  • Describes the unusual coaching transition – no one left for a promotion or was fired, creating a positive and stable environment.
    • “Frank Reich is a Stanford man forever and always.” — Tavita (23:53)

• Defining and Building Culture

  • Bobby asks about instilling culture in a team.
    • Pritchard: “Culture is just a shared set of values between people in a group and an organization and a team...” (24:41)
    • The first step: Get the right people—hiring staff who “fit” Stanford’s values and demands.
    • He reframes Stanford’s unique academic and recruiting profile as a “superpower,” not a limitation.
    • “It's about bringing people here who are a fit... They first have to understand what our vision is going forward and... (Stanford’s) are things we're not just going to put up with, but we're actually going to lean into.” — Tavita (24:49)
    • He emphasizes reinforcing standards and “catching people doing it right.” (26:41)

• Recruiting at Stanford: The Academic Filter

  • Stanford’s strict admissions create a self-filtering process, allowing the staff to focus on the right prospects from the start.
  • “When you do cut that down, it allows us to be a lot more specific, efficient, and effective...” — Tavita (28:16)
  • Bobby compares this to Vanderbilt’s approach under Clark Lee.

• Game Strategy & Upcoming Season

  • On playcalling: Pritchard is undecided about calling plays, having come in "guns a blazing" but recognizes the value of building the best staff and being open.

    • “I want to stay open... I don’t want to limit me, I don’t want to limit us…” — Tavita (28:33)

  • Conference/Non-conference schedules:

    • Tavita is still “figuring out” how to handle non-conference games amid Stanford’s new conference travel demands.
    • Bobby jokes: “I wouldn’t schedule a single hard team non conference. I’d play all high schools...” (29:58)
    • Tavita whimsically responds, referencing Pulaski Academy in Arkansas.
      • “Maybe we can get some high schools on the schedule.” — Tavita (30:24)

• Choosing Stanford

  • Tavita was set on Washington State (his family’s alma mater) before being unexpectedly recruited by Stanford.
  • Shares a humorous admission about mistaking the Stanford pool for the football stadium.
    • “I remember walking on campus for the first time and I actually saw the pool complex… they’re like, no, coach, that’s the pool.” — Tavita (31:44)
    • Ultimately won over by the people and campus.

• Continuity & The Andrew Luck Effect

  • Andrew Luck's presence in the program helps retain players, as “he could be doing anything, but he’s here in service of this place.”
    • “Andrew’s special.... (He’s) a dude.” — Tavita (33:12)

• Legends and Gear

  • Bobby asks about John Elway; Tavita has met him but not extensively.
    • “Oh yeah, for sure… you watch guys… you study because he’s one of the all time greats.” — Tavita (34:24)
  • On getting team gear: After so many years, Tavita has accumulated (and distributed) “a lot of gear,” much of it claimed by family members.

• On Coaching Jayden Daniels and Technology

  • Pritchard is open to using tech like VR tools, but emphasizes that top players make the tech useful, not vice versa.
    • “Those tools are only as useful as the user…” — Tavita (36:27)
    • Cites Jayden Daniels’ and Marcus Mariota’s work ethic as formative for his coaching career.

Notable Quotes and Highlights

• “It’s a great day to be a grey shirt, Team Rubicon.” — Bobby, as the interview begins. (20:56)
• “Culture is just a shared set of values between people.” — Tavita (24:41)
• “I see it as a superpower.” — Tavita, on Stanford’s academic requirements (24:57)
• “You get a culture off the ground – it’s making it very clear what it is, and then it’s reinforcing it.” — Tavita (26:41)
• “Andrew Luck… he’s a dude.” — Tavita (33:12)
• On tech: “Those tools are only as useful as the user and the person who’s utilizing them.” — Tavita (36:27)

[Bobby Bones]

So you're telling me that the AI that's meant to make everyone's job easier to manage just adds more to manage? On top of the thousands of apps the IT department already manages? Funny how that works. Any business can add AI. IBM helps you scale and manage AI to change how you do business. Let's create Smile to business. IBM.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Running a business is hard enough. Don't make it harder with a dozen apps that don't talk to each other. One for sales, another for inventory, a separate one for accounting. And that's software overload. Odoo is the all in one platform that replaces them all. CRM, accounting, inventory, E Commerce, hr. Fully integrated, easy to use and built to grow with your business. Thousands have already made the switch. Why not you try Odoo for [e-mail].

[Bobby Bones]

That'S odoo.com this is Julian Edelman from Games with Names.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Football is back.

[Bobby Bones]

That means it's tailgate time. And this season the only meat I'm going to grill is Dietz and Watson. I'm loving the Black Angus Dietz dogs. They're flavor packed and you can tell they are made with the highest quality ingredients. Sundays just got a whole lot better. Visit deetsandwatson.com the right way to learn more about about the deets difference. This is a podcast called 25 Whistles Talking Football and they all wear a whistle.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yeah, it's stupid, but what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.

[Bobby Bones]

25 Whistles. All right, blow it. Welcome to the show. We will talk to new Stanford football coach Tavita Pritchard. And in just a second, I brought Christmas presents for Brandon and Kevin, and they aren't here.

[Eddie]

Oh, well, then hand them over.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they don't get them.

[Eddie]

You snooze, you lose. For real, they're not gonna get them?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Even, like, after Christmas?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't think so.

[Eddie]

Wow, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

Once Christmas is over.

[Eddie]

No, that's not true. That's not true. And this is no better time to tell you that the present that I want for you has not arrived. That I got for you. I bought it and has not arrived.

[Bobby Bones]

I bought it two weeks ago, but I'm here.

[Eddie]

Oh, you're not leaving?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm saying I am here on Christmas for you to go, hey, your present's not here. I have their presents here.

[Eddie]

That's crazy, dude. So they're just going to lose out on their presence?

[Bobby Bones]

I believe so.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe not. We'll see.

[Eddie]

You might see Brandon, right?

[Bobby Bones]

We'll see. Mike, I do have yours. Oh, thank you. So, one from TikTok Shop. I can show you one of them as well. Something that I bought you because I bought you and Eddie's gifts off TikTok Shop, and I got Eddie a flamethrower, and I got you something, but I have something that I just. I can't keep in my house. So one of the things is something that.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Is it alive?

[Bobby Bones]

No. It's something that I want nothing to do with, and I own it, but I'm just going to give it to you.

[Eddie]

Is it legal?

[Bobby Bones]

Go say if they get arrested for it, it is. No, the other thing I did buy for you, here's the thing I'm going to give you because maybe you can use it for your studio. It's a Vince Young signed Longhorn. Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll pull my headphones out. Hold on. I can't hear you. But so you can have this. And since you're a Longhorn fan, I literally am building a new space and putting helmets into it because I collected, like, the ones I love.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

I got so excited, I pulled my headphones out.

[Eddie]

You said, oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, to give this thing away, I got so excited, I pulled my headphones out. It's like getting rid of that cursed doll. No joke. I've been looking for a Longhorns helmet. If you look at my Google history, it is on there. Well, so this is a Vince Young sign. It says National Champs. It's a replica home.

[Eddie]

That's really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

You can put that in your studio. That's a Christmas gift. Just mostly because I don't want it.

[Eddie]

And that's what you don't want in your house?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, got it. It's just been sitting there and it makes me vomit.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I walk by and I feel ill. You almost.

[Eddie]

You gag every time you see it.

[Bobby Bones]

And I thought maybe it'll add to the aesthetic from all the helmets I'm using in another place. And I just. I couldn't.

[Eddie]

Nah, get rid of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Can't use it for anything.

[Jenna Kim Jones]

Positive.

[Tavita Pritchard]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

So, okay, that's you. And then this is the thing. Eddie, would you walk. Take this to him.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Walk to him.

[Bobby Bones]

This is what I got you from Tik Tok Shop. And my wife said, that's kind of stupid. And I said, no, I think Michael like it, cuz I knew I was going to give you the helmet too.

[Tavita Pritchard]

I love stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

If it's stupid, so what it is. And you can pull it out. Ninja Turtles pizza slicer. It's a Ninja Turtle pizza slicer. That looks like one of the Ninja Turtle ones. You know how you get targeted ads? Yeah. These have both been things in my targeted ads. Really?

[Tavita Pritchard]

I've seen this thing on TikTok and.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, man, I would cut me a Ninja slice with that thing. I saw it and thought, man, Mike would love that. The thing is, when I showed my wife, she said, he doesn't eat pizza. He's vegan. I said, I'm sure there's something you can cut with it, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife and I make these little pizza pockets. I can slice them with this thing. Can you open that? Yeah, I'd like to see. I didn't ever open the box, so.

[Eddie]

So it's like Raphael's weapon.

[Bobby Bones]

The Psy. The Psy.

[Eddie]

But it's got a pizza slicer thing.

[Bobby Bones]

It slices, it dices.

[Eddie]

That's hilarious, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

So there it is, man.

[Eddie]

Sometimes, you know, things pop up on Tick Tock. And you're like, this is just perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, do I want to call me FaceTime Kickoff Kevin.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

He had surgery on his shoulder and so that's why he's not here. Dude, this is awesome.

[Eddie]

Dude, that's huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, look at that. That's cool. Yeah, I thought you'd like that Tick Tock talk. You just. You don't know when it's going to get here, though. Sometimes it comes from, like, China.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't know when it's actually going to arrive. All right, let me give. Is he, like, so hurt he can't answer the phone?

[Eddie]

I don't think so. He sent us a picture yesterday.

[Bobby Bones]

If he's not so hurt he can't answer the phone, why isn't he here?

[Eddie]

Well, because I don't think he can use his right arm or whatever arm it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Cry me a river.

[Eddie]

Well, he types a lot and edits.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's FaceTime him.

[Eddie]

Okay. You look good.

[Bobby Bones]

So close to my face. It doesn't matter. Like, when I hold it to my gun, it's so close to my face.

[Eddie]

Oh, no. There he is.

[Bobby Bones]

There he is. So we're here.

[Eddie]

Ask him. Why are you not here?

[Kevin]

Because I'm handicapped, dude. I'm on drugs.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. So we're doing.

[Eddie]

That makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

We're doing whistles today. Okay. And we are handing out Christmas presents, and I had yours, but you're not here to get it, so. So the rule is, if you're not here, you don't get it.

[Kevin]

So who's gonna get it?

[Bobby Bones]

Are you messed up on.

[Eddie]

Listen to it. Listen. He's like, so who's gonna get it?

[Bobby Bones]

What did you have done?

[Kevin]

I had a complete tear in my rotator cuff. So they tore like, a tendon and replaced it and all that good stuff. And now I'm in this.

[Bobby Bones]

Boy, at least it's your left hand, huh? Do you think about that?

[Kevin]

Oh, thank God it's my left hand, or else I'd be screwed.

[Bobby Bones]

So how. What's the situation? You have a couple weeks now off.

[Kevin]

The. I'll be in the ceiling for six weeks. I don't know if it's this one, but I'll be in a sling for six. Six weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I'm saying you have a couple weeks off of work, so that's a. Probably advantageous to your healing.

[Kevin]

Yeah, that's why I did it at this time, so we could have a couple weeks off to be a little light work and to help out a little bit with the healing. Yes.

[Eddie]

Isn't that nice of him, though, that, like, he scheduled it around this time because he knew he's gonna have two weeks off and he wouldn't affect his work. For two weeks?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's nice. I wouldn't. I would do it in the middle of the year. Be like, yeah, I'm out six weeks. Sorry, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

But then somebody. Then we'd get somebody to replace you, and they may be better than you.

[Eddie]

Or you guys are just like, man, we can't do this without Eddie. This is so hard.

[Bobby Bones]

It's funny you have that attitude, because the mind's exactly the opposite when it comes to that stuff. Okay, well, I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[Kevin]

Thank.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Wait.

[Kevin]

Oh, you're recording right now?

[Eddie]

Yeah, man.

[Bobby Bones]

You're on. We're literally doing the episode.

[Kevin]

That makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Eddie]

Would you think we're just calling you for fun?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I mean, I got excited talking into microphones.

[Kevin]

I told you, man, I'm drugged up. This is why.

[Eddie]

Hey, how was the surgery, though? Was it. Was it, like, easy?

[Kevin]

Yeah, I mean, I just. I don't remember anything. They put me to sleep, and I woke up, next thing I know, and my wife by my side, and I was all good to go.

[Eddie]

Are you able to use your hand? Like, it's in a sling, but, like, will you be able to type?

[Kevin]

No, it's still numb right now. I was doing some stuff this morning. I was typing with just one hand because my fingers are still numb from the stuff that they gave me yesterday. It's numb for, like, 30 hours.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. Do you want to. I can show you your present. Do you want to see him?

[Eddie]

Let me hold the phone.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I can do it. Okay, so.

[Eddie]

First off, you need that backpack.

[Bobby Bones]

First off, I got you the same thing. I got Eddie a flamethrower. You're gonna love it, dude. Well, I saw how much Eddie loved his, and I was like, oh, hey, Kevin. One of those. So Eddie really sold it that it was good. And then I got you a. And I put a bow on it. I got you a Drake May rookie card.

[Tavita Pritchard]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's sweet.

[Eddie]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. Drake made 2024 rookie, it says in North Carolina.

[Kevin]

That's fine.

[Eddie]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, that's me.

[Eddie]

That's awesome, dude. Not fine. That'll do.

[Kevin]

Awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so I'll. I'll just keep it here. I'll put in my office. You get it when you come back. Okay.

[Kevin]

All right, sounds good.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, buddy. Merry Christmas.

[Eddie]

Merry Christmas, Kevin.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. All right, there he is.

[Eddie]

So he got his present.

[Bobby Bones]

Got his present up there.

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Get off the phone. He's. All right. There you go. He's drunk.

[Coca Cola Advertiser]

You get off the phone.

[Bobby Bones]

Can we call Brandon?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Brandon's was a little different, and I'll tell you why I like that.

[Eddie]

You got Kevin a flamethrower.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Once I saw yours, I thought, you know who? Because I went and bought that one. I didn't order. I ordered yours. Yours is bigger, though.

[Odoo Advertiser]

That's awesome.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If he doesn't answer, he doesn't get the present.

[Eddie]

Come on, Brandon. There he is.

[Bobby Bones]

There he is.

[Eddie]

Brandon, you're on mute.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he's muted. How do you answer on mute?

[Eddie]

He's that guy on Zoom.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but he answered and he's on mute on a call.

[Eddie]

Harry, we can't hear you.

[Bobby Bones]

Harry, we can't hear you.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm watching him. How do you answer?

[Eddie]

Your volume. Your volume's out, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, it's all the way up. Can you hear me okay?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's bizarre, huh? All right, he's got 10 seconds or he doesn't get his prize.

[Eddie]

And you know what happens sometimes is it connects to a Bluetooth. You ever do that word automatically connects, like, to your car.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

And you're like, why is this not working?

[Bobby Bones]

I've been on the phone and, like, a valet's taking my car and they're talking, then the person's still talking in the valleys.

[Eddie]

Like, wait. Yes, exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, so we'll give them 10 seconds and then we'll just move on.

[Eddie]

Brandon, it's your gifts. Don't lose it.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight, seven.

[Eddie]

Are you calling him or you're waiting for him to call you back?

[Bobby Bones]

Wait for him to call me back. Should I call him back?

[Eddie]

Did he do the sign of. I'll call you back?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what he did. Which I. There he is. That's the. That's my gate calling. Oh, there he is. Hey, what was happening? Yeah, it was. It was my laptop. My laptop was just like.

[Eddie]

Nah.

[Kevin]

Going to.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to mute it. All right, so.

[Eddie]

Merry Christmas, Brandon.

[Bobby Bones]

Merry Christmas, buddy. Hey, so we're doing our Christmas segment on whistles, and I was giving everybody their Christmas gifts, and so I have yours here. And since you're not. You're not here to me to give it to you. I was just going to keep it, but I thought I would just give it to you on Zoom and next time you're here, you can get it. Oh, gotcha, man. Okay, so I. This comes from. I think I insulted Brandon. And so my gift is meeting him at the place where I insulted him.

[Eddie]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

So I can show you this.

[Eddie]

An inside story present.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I thought about what I was going to get Brandon. What is that?

[Eddie]

A sack? Santa sack.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a. It's a bag here. And I thought about doing the same thing I did with you guys, getting something funny. And instead I thought I know I insulted Brandon, so I want to do it. So I knew I. I want to do it better and make him go. I'm sorry. So what I said to Brandon was I questioned him. Do you know how I questioned him?

[Eddie]

Like, when. What was the setting?

[Bobby Bones]

It was on this show.

[Eddie]

On this show. And you questioned him?

[Bobby Bones]

Brandon, do you know how I questioned you?

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yeah. Did you question me on being a Cowboys fan?

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's go over now to our interview with new Stanford head football coach Davita Pritchard. He comes over from the Commanders where he spent the last few seasons as their quarterbacks coach. But really he's a Stanford guy. He's a former Stanford quarterback. Big upset against USC once when they were like 40 point underdogs. It was a massive game. But we talk about that. He's a Stanford guy through and through.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

Here he is. I really liked him. Coach. Tavita Pritchard. Coach, are you underwater right now? I gotta imagine the first couple of weeks is just all relationships and saying hi. Right.

[Tavita Pritchard]

There's a lot of relationships, a lot of kind of reinserting back into the matrix. But it has been fun because this is home and I'm, it's, it's been exciting to get back here.

[Bobby Bones]

So I've got to spend a little time with Coach Reich. And he came on the show and talked with him and he was like, I got one year. He was very. He said, I'm here because, Andrew, I got one year and I'm out. And that's such an interesting situation for you to come in because one, nobody left for a bigger job, which wouldn't have happened there. And then two, nobody got fired. So it's kind of a positive place to come. What has it been like reinserting? And has he helped at all?

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yeah, you're right. I mean, it was and is very unique in the way that that transition occurred. And I have not interfaced with him a ton leading up to this situation. Obviously, I always knew who he was, you know, through Andrew. And then Zach Hurts always spoke very highly of him. But in our increasing interactions as time has gone on, man, my respect for him has grown really, really quickly. And not just who he is as a coach, but as a man, as a leader. And I can't say enough about what he did in this unique situation. Obviously taking over, you know, at a time in the calendar that was not typical. And to come in here like the day before spring ball and kind of be able to do what he did and instill a culture and start building for the future, even though he knew that it was kind of a one year or one season shepherding during this time. I can't say enough about the groundwork that was laid with the staff, with the players here and the culture going forward. So I would say Frank Reich is a Stanford man forever and always.

[Bobby Bones]

This is going to be such a corny question, but since you're a Stanford guy, to come and have the office, was it a moment where you're like, this is now my office?

[Tavita Pritchard]

I would say it was less of that and more trying to make sure I didn't walk in the other offices that I've. That I've occupied over my time here, because there's probably around five or six. So it was, it was more of that than it was the awe of being in this office. It was more like, oh, almost walked into that office because muscle memory told me to do so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. When we moved buildings, I drove to the wrong building a couple times because I had done it so many times. He said, you're just sitting down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you mentioned culture and that. I think that word's thrown around a lot. But how, how do you start changing culture? What are the first steps when you're going to do something that's so macro? Obviously it takes micro to make macro. What do you start doing?

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yeah, that's, that's, it's, it's, it is the question. It is the question. As you come in here and you talk about installing a culture, the first thing is the people. Right. Because culture is just a shared set of values between people in a group and an organization and a team. And so I think the first thing is getting the right people here. You know, I'm working hard right now to identify and hire a staff and put a staff together. And so I think it's about bringing people here who are a fit. And obviously, fit can be interpreted in a lot of different ways, but they first have to understand what our vision is going forward and kind of who we're going to be, what we're going to be about. And then they have to be a fit for Stanford. You know, and this is a unique place. It's a special place. It's a place that I know and I love very, very, very much. And so they have to understand, not that they have to have even a history with Stanford, but there are certain things that they have to understand are unique to this place. And that there are things that we're not just going to put up with, but we're actually going to lean into. You know, when you talk about the way that you have to recruit here, some people can see that as a negative. I see it as a superpower. Right. And something that allows us to identify the people who belong here and then bring them here and develop them. So that's the first thing is bringing the people here, and then it's really deciding and defining what the culture is. And that's not just a me thing. Right. This whole thing is not about me. It's about myself and Andrew and. And Sam Fisher and the other folks in this building really defining, hey, what is going to set us apart and what's going to make us the best program we can be. And then once that's done, it's reinforcing that every day. And I think that's the biggest thing, is you get a culture off the ground. It's making it very clear what it is, and then it's reinforcing it. It's repeating it so that that thing can be seen and reinforcing, it's catching people doing it. Right? Right. I mean, we're going to talk about competition. That's going to be core to our culture. Right. I want to be able to catch people. Right. So it's walking out to the practice field when I can and go watching, you know, workouts and saying. And saying, hey, you guys do a great job competing. You know, so it's just reinforcing those things. It's finding those and then it's being honest and telling the truth when it's. When we're falling short of that mark.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Whether it's myself or anybody else, like, hey, when you're instilling culture, it's really about making sure that you're upholding those things in a really, really strong manner from day one.

[Bobby Bones]

So I know Clark Lee, who Coaches, Vanderbilt here, because we live and we've done some stuff together and they have a similar, I won't even say issue, but a similar circumstance to where they have to recruit a different way. And are there guys that you will see, man, I'd really love to have them, but if it's grades or that you can't take because of what Stanford demands out of their student athlete.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yeah, you know what I mean? It's, what you find here is there is a filtering process, right. And one that honestly, you know, I mentioned it's a superpower of this place because it's one of those things where I don't look at guys and say, oh man, I can't recruit them. Our recruiting department does. It does a great job of, you know, those, those players usually don't even come across my desk. Right. And I'm saying my desk right now in this role. But even, even going back to when I was here before, right. You really kind of what you, what you don't see, you're not, you're not reacting to, you know, so it's like I know the guys that we can recruit. I know that crop of people that we are looking at that we are evaluating and getting to know. And so it's, it's way more leaning into, man, who, who can be here, right? Who are those folks that we're looking for and identifying. Because when you, when you do cut that down, it allows us to be a lot more specific and efficient and effective. Right. In being able to focus on a smaller group from day one.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you going to call plays?

[Tavita Pritchard]

I came in here guns a blazing that I was going to call plays and I'm, I'm now in a space where I want to stay open. I want to stay open. I will be involved in the offense. That's something that we're working through right now and I'm looking forward to putting together this collection of people that's going to come in here both on the offensive side and the defensive side. But I've, I've, I've, I have walked back from that stance a little bit just knowing that like I want to get the best people here and I don't want to limit me, I don't want to limit us. I don't want to limit this program because I, I actually want to get the best and, and best fit people for this place.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you feel about non conference games?

[Tavita Pritchard]

I'm still figuring that out, man. I'm still figuring that out. You know, just like, just like being in I mean, you ask non conference, but I'm coming here, you know, to a brand new conference. Then I left and so I'm wrapping my head around that. I'm wrapping my head around non conference games and all the travel with conference and, and so I'm still, I'm seeing. It's fun, it's fun to kind of reinsert here and kind of catch up, so to speak. Right. So I'm both catching up on things that were familiar to me and then I'm catching up in a sense that like, oh man, this has changed since I've been gone, you know, so, you know, when it comes to non conference, I'm excited to play the best around the country. You know, I mean, I think that's something that, you know, when I was here before, you know, I have great memories. Obviously Notre Dame is a, is a non conference that we play every year. That has always been a really good matchup for us and, and one that, you know, has a great history. And I remember playing in that game. I remember coaching in that game. We had some great battles and I look forward to that one. And then I think we've done a good job of scheduling, you know, schools that, you know, are challenging to us and that we have a, that we have great games against. So I'm looking forward to kind of working with Andrew and getting caught up on a lot of that stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I wouldn't schedule a single hard team non conference. We were seeing it. I'd play all high schools, coach. I would just go play high schools in California. I wouldn't travel because you guys are traveling all across the freaking country and you're playing nine conference games. Next year you're having to go to Virginia Tech.

[Tavita Pritchard]

What high school did you go to?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I didn't go one of California. I'm from Arkansas. But I'm just saying all I would play are high schools in California. So you don't, you don't lose.

[Tavita Pritchard]

I hear you. That ski academy. Yeah. Maybe we can get some high schools on the.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you know Pulaski Academy?

[Tavita Pritchard]

Man, I've been recruiting for a long time. I can name the most random high schools from the most random places.

[Bobby Bones]

Never has a coach mentioned PA in the middle of an interview like that.

[Tavita Pritchard]

I've been there there, man. I've been there. Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, why did you go to Stanford?

[Tavita Pritchard]

You know what? I, I grew up in a house. My dad played at Washington State University. My parents met there. My uncle was Jack Thompson, the throwing Samoan who played at Washington State. So I grew up thinking, I'm going to Washington State. Like, this is. This is in the cards. I'm going to. I'm going to work hard to be a college football player and go play in the NFL, but I'm going to go to Washington State early in the recruiting process. Right back in the old PAC 10, you're basically, if you're a West coast quarterback, you had to be the top 10, so you can be a PAC 10 quarterback. They took a quarterback early in that cycle, and it kind of rocked my world. I was kind of like, wait, I was supposed to go to Washington State, you know, And I'm not joking. The only thing I knew about Stanford when that happened was that they played Washington State. I was like, I think I know their colors. I couldn't even tell you where it was. But that's the extent of what I knew about Stanford. Obviously, this was a different time, right before social media. So, like, you know, that. That really didn't reach me for whatever reason about, like, what Stanford is about, what the brand was. And it just so happened we had a connection to the staff. And I got invited to come to a camp here to try to earn a scholarship. And I remember walking on campus for the first time and I actually saw the pool complex. And I saw from a distance, which doesn't excuse this story I'm about to tell, but I looked at it, I was like, wow, the football stadium. That's incredible. And as we get closer, they're like, no, coach, that's the. That's the pool. And I was like, oh, that's the pool. It just spoke to just like, how incred the. This. This campuses and the buildings and all that. But what I also didn't know was, like, the campus and the buildings and the setting are not even the half of it, right? Because you get to know the people and you get to know what they're about, how. How committed they are and how collaborative they are. And they're about excellence and they're about cohesion. And it just like, the more I learned about this place, I was like, man, this is. These are my kind of people. And luckily, I. I did well enough in that camp. I earned a scholarship. I committed shortly after I got into school. Shortly after that, I'll never forget that phone call. I was at our high school stadium watching my sister play soccer, and we got the call. And I remember that feeling. I remember the reaction of getting accepted into school. It's just like everything has led to, you know, being here and being A part of this community. And it's made me as a person like I am a product of this place in so many ways. And I'm so grateful for my experience here now I'm excited to be able to give back and serve these players and, and, and, and hope to create an equally great experience for them.

[Bobby Bones]

The continuity that is there with. And you mentioned Andrew luck. Did that help keep players from jumping in the portal that he could already establish relationships?

[Tavita Pritchard]

For sure. And Andrew's special. Andrew's special. Like, like this, this is, this is not only was it the fact that his role was already filled and in place, but it's the fact that it's him, right? He has an extreme passion for this place. He has an extreme passion period. And he's a dude. He's a dude. Like, people understand that, right? And they know what he's about. And Andrew could be doing anything he wants. Right. But again, he and I are similar in that, like we are here in service of this place and the experience of our student athletes. And that's, and that's something that's real. And I know our students, I know our football players feel that. Right. I know our community feels that, how invested he is in this place. And so that's a big part of the reason that that guys are still here is they knew that with his support, right. And the, and, and the, and his vision for this, that we were going to, we were going to be going in a direction and they wanted to be a part of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Got three final questions, and this one may be dumb because you could have 10 times, but I'm gonna ask you.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Because I got a dumb question.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it is because if you like. No, no, John Elway. That's a dumb question. But have you got to spend any time with John Elway?

[Tavita Pritchard]

You know what? I've met John over the years. I've gotten to spend a little bit of time with him, but not, it was not, it's not been extensive.

[Bobby Bones]

When you were playing quarterback there, would you watch tape back of how dominant John Elway was?

[Tavita Pritchard]

Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, I think it's a core tenet of being a quarterback that you just, you watch guys, you love to watch guys and kind of see parts of their game that maybe you see in yourself or aspirationally, right? Like, oh man, I'd love to be able to do it like that. So you really study. And he was certainly one. You study because he's one of the all time greats.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, two questions left. Whenever you Take a job. And this is your old school, so you probably did have some gear. Is there like a box that's like, this is going to cover you for the first two weeks. And it's just all. It's the hats, it's the shirts, it's everything you're going to need.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Absolutely. I had, I had. You know, what's funny is I have a lot of friends in the profession and they, A lot of them have rules because, you know, they'll have made a number of moves and going to different teams and franchises. And so a lot of guys who have been in this coaching world for a long time, they say, okay, hey, I'm going to keep two things from my last job and, and so I can get rid of the rest, give it away, and then, and then, you know, I'm gonna get new gear at my new place. Well, obviously my journey's been a little bit different, right? I mean, I played it. I started at Stanford as in 2005 as a freshman football player, and I was there throughout, continuously until 2022. So I accrued and acquired a lot of gear over my time. Now, I will also say this, with 10 siblings and nieces and nephews and a mom and dad and uncles, like, my, my, My closet was raided early and often, so that was spread out, but I still had a lot of gear. And luckily with it, you know, me being alum, even when I moved on from this place originally, I was like, well, I'm not going to keep two things. Like, I still got to represent the squad and be able to, especially on the east coast, you know, kind of spread the gospel of Stanford. So luckily I held onto a lot of stuff. I believe my family did, too, so we weren't too far behind.

[Bobby Bones]

Last question, and I want to talk about Jayden Daniels for a second, but also how that correlates with what you're doing now. Obviously you coach Jayden Daniels, one rookie of the year, but what we would hear and what we'd read is all of like, the tech. He would use the glasses to see the field. Are you implementing that at Stanford at all?

[Tavita Pritchard]

Yeah, we're still looking at, like, the technology that we're going to use. Obviously, we're still. We're, we're. We're not at that point yet where we're looking at some of those things. But, you know, they, they do a great job. Like the, like the group that we worked with, the VR company that we worked with, with Jaden, it is, it's a great tool. But here's what I would say Working with Jaden Daniels, working with Marcus Mariota, Sam Hartman, Josh Johnson. This year, like Jaden works, man. So like whether it's the, whether it's the VR goggles or walkthroughs or watching traditional film like he, Jaden and market, like those guys make those tools, you know what I'm saying? Like, like those tools are only as useful as the user and the person who's utilizing them. So it's really what's. What I do want to separate is like that is a powerful tool and one that's really, really cool. And if you believe in it and you use it, it can be super helpful and really take your game to the next level. But so much of it is about the people. And like getting to work with Jaden has, has really affected my career. Getting to work with Marcus has really affected my career. Because those guys, the way that they approach the game, the passion they have for learning, the passion they have for, for leadership and teamwork. Like, I can't say enough about my time in that room with those guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Coach, I really appreciate the time. I know you're underwater. We, you know, we got a couple, couple guys we've been talking with that got new jobs and so they all say the same thing, like they have 500 text messages and so to cut out 15, 20 minutes. I really appreciate it. Hope you have a great off season and good luck next season. Coach.

[Tavita Pritchard]

Appreciate it, Bobby. Have a good one, man.

[Eddie]

See you, coach.
