Steve Young, the Hall of Famer, will join us a little later on. Devin McCourty, on loan from Football Night in America, former Patriots defensive back. He was on the call last night for Westwood One Radio as the Patriots welcomed in the giants and handled them. 33:15 so 8773 DP show email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle At DP show we'll talk about the Patriots. They're now 11 and 2. LSU introduced Lane Kiff and I watched most of that press conference and Penn State is still searching and maybe, maybe looking at BYU's Kalani Sataki who, oh, by the way, has a conference championship game this weekend against Texas Tech. But that doesn't stop anybody. Fresh college football rankings coming up later on tonight. Michigan State hiring Pat Fitzgerald. I think that's a good hire. He went through a messy situation with Northwestern and Will Stein of Oregon, their offensive coordinator, is taking over Kentucky. So just some of the movers and shakers here in college football. Poll question that'll be coming up. Play of the Day Stat of the Day all of that forthcoming. I told you it was going to happen and it did. Standalone game Drake May. He was in second place with DraftKings MVP odds to Matthew Stafford. Drake May is now your favorite to win the mvp. What I love about Drake May, and there's a lot to like about him, is there's not a high high, a low low. You get really consistent numbers with him. He has not had a passing game under 200 yards. He hasn't had a passing game over 300 yards. I love that there's this window and he's the passing leader right now in the NFL. I like that you don't have to do too much, but you got to do enough. And they're a really good team. Now we can say the Giants aren't a really good team, but you'd be correct with that at 2 and 11. So I'm looking at New England now, best record in the afc. They host Buffalo, they're at Baltimore, they're at the jets and then they host Miami. Let's say they go two and two, maybe three and one. Okay. Getting the home field advantage. They're not afraid of anybody coming to town. If Kansas City's not in the mix, Baltimore might not be in the mix. Are you worried about Denver coming in? The Colts, Jacksonville. So I would say right now what New England has done, certainly Mike Vrabel, that He is the third coach to win 10 or more at 10 game winning streak since Jim Caldwell in 09, Steve Mariucci in 1997. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Yes, Paul. You know it's funny, weirdly funny to watch on social media when the Patriots are lighting up last night and their quarterback looks like an MVP candidate. Like people who don't like the Patriots are responding like it wasn't long enough that the dip of the Patriots, the post, Brady post, Belichick dip. It wasn't long enough. They had like what, two bad years. 4 and 13. 4 and 13. Now they're back atop the AFC after 20 years of high end play. They needed more of a break. It's like the Bulls when Jordan left and they had Marcus Fiser. You need some down years. I thought that they had around a four or five year run when Belichick was hanging on there and they had cooled off. Yeah, they in 2001 they were 10 and seven made the playoffs, 20, 22, they're eight, nine missed the playoffs. Then four and 13. Four and 13. But it's okay. It's way too quick to be back up top. You're right that they found their coach and they found their quarterback. And if you have that in the NFL, you are ahead of the game. You're ahead of 85% of the other teams. You got an MVP candidate and you got probably the coach of the year with Mike Vrabel. And you look at every time I see Mike Brable, I go now why didn't Tennessee want to keep him? Tell me or did he want to stay? And, you know, ownership, new ownership, and they didn't want. But Mike Brable, I've said this before in coach, whatever sport, you know, he can coach whatever team I got. Doesn't matter. Yes. Dylan, How. How long do you think until we start hating Drake, man? Mike Vrabel, like, two and a half years of sustained success. I don't. I think you got to win first. Yeah, I think you got to win. We don't hate teams that don't win titles. If they rip off a couple Super Bowls in the next, like, well, then, yeah, then, Then. Then you're allowed to hate them. Yeah. And they would probably expect that. But there's nothing about Drake May. Where you go, man, I hate that guy or his attitude or anything. I mean, handing out turkeys during the week for Thanksgiving. I mean, come on, guys. Seems like next. And then go out and play like he did against the Giants. By the way, Jackson dart, please. You know, tough guys don't last, not at that position in the NFL. Get out of bounds. And I'm going to talk to Steve Young about this because he learned to get out of bounds. But, you know, these defensive players, you know, they. They want you to stay in bounds. They want to hit you, and all of a sudden you got a chance to pop him, and he's not going to get out of bounds. You get whatever you deserve. If he didn't get up, I'd say that's your fault, dude. Here is Jackson dart, and it starts with the reporter's question. We. It sounds like a broken record, Jackson just asking you about the hits and taking them and protecting yourself and things like that. Is there anything you would have done different on that one? No. Look like I understand the question, but, like, this is, like, this is football. Like, I'm gonna get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket. Like, it's like I feel like I've played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn't be like, any shocker to anybody if you've followed along with my career and I'm. We're not playing, like, we're not playing soccer out here. Like, you're gonna get hit. Things happen. It's part of the game, okay? The violence is part of the game. Your goal as a quarterback is to eliminate the opportunities for violence on your body. Getting sacked. Just go down live to see another play. Get out of bounds. Here's Mike Vrabel on the hit on Jackson Dark. It's a weekly reminder to the quarterback, our quarterback you know, I mean, we show him every week. Like, I wouldn't get too cute over there by the sidelines. It happens every week. And so Christian's playing, you know, through the. Through the whistle. And as long as the players inbounds, he's going to try to hit them legally, and he did. And once again, you can just get out of bounds. You don't have to be a tough guy. Tough guy is playing every single week. A tough guy plays 17 games. That's what your goal should be. Not, hey, did you see me run over that defensive back? And I've seen way too many quarterbacks think they're tough enough to do this, and they're not. They're not built that way. These guys are ready to hit you. They know how to hit you, and they want to hurt you. If you're a quarterback, get out of bounds. Yes, Paulie. If you watch a hit by Christian Ellis, Jackson Dart is not going out of bounds. Like, he's. He's not doing that. Like, ease up. We're all agreeing that I'm turning towards the sidelines. He's still going forward. And Christian Ellis, you know, you can't hit him in a pocket. You can't hit him low. You can't really hit him high. This is your opportunity to decleat someone, and these. These guys are going to take it. And Aikman said it was a legal play. Yes, and Aikman said that Jackson Dart has got to change his style, and that's coming from a guy who had multiple concussions and ended his career sooner than he probably wanted to. But I like Jackson Dart's energy. I like what he's given to the team. But I just want you to harness that and use it when you need to use that. Yes, Marvin. Yeah. And unfortunately, now when I watch Jackson Dart, I look at him the way we do tour, where every time he gets. You start wincing. When he starts running like, slide, please. Because now all we think of is the concussions. More so than your quarterback play. Yeah, Paulie. And totally being a tough guy when it's necessary. If it's the fourth quarter of week 17 and you're trying to get in the playoffs, be a tough guy, put your head down, get plays. You're 2 and 10 in a football game that doesn't really matter. Let's. Let's make some nice throws and get out of here for next year. Yeah, it's. It's surprising. And, you know, Brian Dable maybe part of the reason why I lost his job is they were doing design runs for Jackson dart and he had a couple of concussions or games where there were concussion symptoms there. And in the blue tent, I got to protect my quarterback. I think the Giants have found their quarterback. I think he's really good, but he hasn't learned anything. And that's what scares me. Just like you said, hey, anybody who knows how I play now, his dad, you know, played that way. Dad was a tough guy. Defensive player, your quarterback, the ability to be available, that's the key for these quarterbacks. All look at the number of injuries at that position, and they're protecting the quarterback the best they can. That will give you an idea of just how violent the game is. But watching Jackson dart and I thought, oh, is he going to try to do a Mahomes where he dances down the sideline? The defensive player can't hit him. And then all of a sudden he got popped. And I go, okay, if that doesn't get his attention, then nothing's going to get his attention. And as we heard from him after the game, it's not sinking in. Yes, Todd, and you think you're being selfless, but you're actually being selfish because there's so much invested in you. And they want this guy to be their quarterback for the future. To try to get that extra yard or two, you got to kind of think ahead a little bit that this organization has got so much invested in you. It's not about getting an extra yard or two. It's not the end of the fourth quarter of a playoff game where you got to pick up that first down and the game's over or anything. I don't know if his teammates are going to go, oh, did you see him? Won't get out of bounds. Come on, nobody's going to say that. Just walk out of bounds if. If you get one extra yard. I don't know if you're team with two wins goes, yes, now, yes, now. We're back. Like, you're. You're just getting experience. That's all you're doing. It's getting information here to take into next year. Maybe you get a new head coach, but you do have some positives here. Scatter. Boo. Malik, neighbors, couple of defensive players. Okay, you might be able to be competitive, but how about you get ready for next season? Not. I'm going to show these guys. Wow, you really showed the Patriots. Get out of bounds. Yeah, Paulie. I was watching the Manning cast for a little bit and they were discussing the dart hit and. And they showed A clip. You know, they always bag on Peyton Manning, and they showed Manning avoiding a sack where he just kind of laid down. But I didn't think. I don't know who said it on his Peyton or eli Peyton's first 10 years in the league. He didn't miss a start. And he said, he goes, my job is to not get hit. We paid millions of dollars to offensive linemen to keep me from getting hit. I'm not going to volunteer to get hit. But every week we find this, there'll be a quarterback who wants to take on somebody, and, boy, are they waiting. Yes, Dylan. Well, there's also, like, elusivity, guys. And like Jackson, like, Lamar is elusive, he runs a lot, but he doesn't take these, like, huge hits that, like, Jackson dart, Josh Allen, some of those guys. But even Lamar Jackson's not running anywhere near what he used to. Now, like, it's far more strategic there. Now, Josh Allen is a unicorn, okay? Because he's as big as the guys who are trying to hit him. And he's. He's delivering a blow, but it's just different. You know, he's the second coming of Cam Newton when it comes to running the football. But these other quarterbacks, you think it's great for morale and you want to show your teammates you're tough. You'll show them that you're tough by playing every single game. That's really hard to do. Not many quarterbacks go wire to wire each season. Play all 17 games, and then maybe you play in the playoffs. Yes, Mark. Yeah, and it's weird to say this, but he's a. He wants to be known as a football player. We want you to be known as a quarterback. Like, don't use those shoulder pads. And it's hard because I'm sure in the culture he grew up in, being raised by a football guy, he thinks of himself as a football player. No, no, the rest of you guys are quarterbacks. I'm here to play football. And that's not what the NFL. No, no, we want you to use those, the arms, not the shoulder pads, to throw the ball, not to try to run people over. Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour of the program? Well, we got a few options. Dan, this one's from Paulie. If I were you okay today or. We coughed up a lot. I'm sick, too. Oh, here we go. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, I think I got it. I got. Did you give it to me maybe? Todd? No. I mean, I could have, but I thought that you know, I had quarantined myself pretty well. No, I think I must have picked it up somewhere else. Okay. Given the hand gestures that Paulie's making, he wants you to wait until after the break and then we'll get the poll question. Yeah, you see what that, that's when he's, he's doing some hand signals. Old school radio. Yeah, yeah, he's doing that. Whatever that means. That means after the break the Wave. We'll take a break. Your Phone calls are welcome. 877-3-DP show. We'll talk about the Lane Kiffin press conference at LSU and Steve Young a little bit later on in the program. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

We will hear from Lane Kiffin his press conference yesterday being sworn in as the new head coach at lsu. Your phone calls coming up as well. And we'll settle on a poll question. Dylan in for Seaton at least for today. And the hour one poll question is what? Well, Dan, if I were a free agent wide receiver, I would go play with which quarterback and we can kind of populate this. Some options being Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Mahomes, Drake May Stafford, other Well, I probably start with Stafford, but if you're talking about long term, then I would probably say Drake May, Joe Burrow, when he's healthy, might be the best passer of that entire group, at least him or Stafford. You know, the thing I look at with the Patriots is I don't know if Stefan Diggs, like, he hasn't had a great season, doesn't get a lot of catches, not a lot of yards. Now he might be able to have that one breakout game in the postseason, but I, I don't see him being that, oh my God, you got to stop that guy. And that would be my big concern with the Patriots is do they have that go to guy when you need to? They have a running game. And I think that Drake May is. I think Drake May knows what he can do and not do, and I think he's pretty good at that. And that's part of the, you know, the maturity process of a young quarterback. What can I do and what shouldn't I do? And understanding that and kind of staying in those parameters. And he's done a really good job at that. Like Caleb Williams is learning what he can and can't do, and I think that's really important for his development. These younger quarterbacks, first year, second year, third year, do you know what you can and can't do? Like Jackson Dart, he's got the talent, but he still doesn't understand what he should and shouldn't do. Certainly we saw that on display last night. But we'll talk about Lane Kiffin coming up. That situation that. Yeah, I was curious how he would handle it. He almost sounded apologetic, like, you know, I'm here. Yeah, I know what you're probably thinking, but, you know, this is a great place to be. It just didn't feel like he was alive. Like, oh my God, I met. Well, okay, let me play it and you judge for yourself. Here is him, Lane Kiffin, talking about the best job in college football. The opportunity at lsu, as I said before, is just different. Someone very close to me reminded me this week that LSU is the best job in football. When you take the history, tradition, passion, and the great players in the state of Louisiana, no one can argue that when you're in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, there is nothing like it. I will give you that. The atmosphere, I don't think it's the best job in college football. You know, there's, there's a short list here. The atmosphere is wonderful. The talent in, you know, a three hour radius is unquestionably Great. But you've gone through some coaches here. You had a messy situation there with Brian Kelly. Maybe he's bringing back Ed Orgeron. Bring in Less Miles, too, if you want to, the way you're at. And by the way, if Nick Saban did tell Lane Kiffin to take the LSU job, he should say that on game day. You know, Reese Davis should say, what role did you play in Lane Kiffin taking that job? Because at the least, he should say, I advised him to take the job. But it certainly sounds like he played a large role in Lane Kiffin taking that job. Full disclosure, he should do that because it feels like. Feels like conflict of interest there. Here is Lane Kiffin talking about his contract. I said through the process, okay, I'm. I'm never going to make a decision on money. And I'm telling you right now, I don't know what my contract is here that's not very financially responsible. Okay? I'm sure it's really good. Okay. I don't know what it is. Nor did I know at the other places what the numbers were, because I said in the beginning, I told Jimmy Sexton, don't tell me the numbers, okay? I want to make a decision that has nothing to do with money for me. Now tell me the numbers in the plan for what the money is for the players, because that's everything in that area to me. Well, it's weird that I knew his contract numbers yesterday at the end of the show, and I knew them before Lane Kiffin did, apparently. I'm going to guess Lane had a pretty good idea of the base salary. Does he realize, as I found out yesterday morning, that whatever incentives he had, if he had stayed at Ole Miss in the playoffs, he still gets paid if the team wins their first playoff game? Lane Kiffin, from what I'm told, gets money from his former team? So, you know, we found this out, the numbers, and he should be compensated, even the buyout, you know, I found that out, but he should know. And, and he's got a really good agent and an agent who is controlling college football. But in this situation, Lane took the job. I think he's going to win there. And, and yes, we have invited Lane Kiffin on the number of people like, oh, you say these things, you know, would you say it to it if Lane came on right now? I would be bringing up the same things, like, I expect him to join me. He's not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm going to ask the questions that need to be asked. That's all don't have any animosity towards Lane Kiffin. I can have a problem with this situation. And I go back a long, long way with Lane Kiffin. Long, long way. And he usually comes on and he'll take the heat. He'll, you know, it. It's a firing squad there of asking questions that are probably uncomfortable. Yes, Mark. Now, your issue is not that he, that he left, but it's when he left. It's how he left too. Like, it, it just, it was messy. All he needed to say is, hey, I'd love to coach this team. I understand if you don't want me to, but if it's true, which I would ask him, did you say to the athletic director at Ole Miss, if you don't let me coach this team in the playoffs, I'm going to poach your coaching staff. I'm going to poach players. That's what I want to know. Because he had no business coaching that team. None. You left. You left. So leave. You did a wonderful job. But you're telling these players they're not good enough to win a national championship because that's why you're leaving, right? Not about money. Right. You don't have the resources, don't have the money to get players. I can't win a national title here. That's a slap in the face. Why do I want you coaching me when you don't think we can win a national championship? This is about you. And he can't play the role of victim. Hey, I wanted to do it, but they wouldn't let me. Yeah, no kidding. They shouldn't. And for any of these analysts who say, well, you know, they should let him do it. Why? Why? He's leaving. You don't get to take a victory lap. You're done. You did what you wanted to do. You got the job. You, you got the greatest job in college football. So therefore there's not another college job that Lane Kiffin will take, right? Alabama comes open. Nope. I'm at lsu. It's the greatest job in college football. Okay. Yes, Todd, it was he saying, more I can't win a national championship here? Or is it more the ego of like, LSU is just a more high profile job? Just kind of like what you're saying with Alabama. How much of it is that where it's like lsu? That's, that's. I want my name attached to lsu. That's a bigger deal than being the Ole Miss coach. I have no idea. I mean, if he comes on, I can ask Him. But until then, you just kind of go, okay, I'm going to try to read between the lines here. But he did sound almost apologetic that he did this to Ole Miss at this moment in the playoffs, Biggest year in school history, and now you're going to go to the greatest job. And who's helping you? Apparently, Nick Saban, Pete Carroll are giving you advice. And then he invokes God. He talked to God. Okay. Yeah. Paulie, just. Less than 10 years ago, Lane Kiffin was introduced as the new USC head football coach. He said it was very obvious when we had a chance to come back here that we were coming back home to take the greatest job in all of college football. Of course. Of course. Yeah. Okay. I mean, once again, he'll do great at lsu. I've never doubted him as a coach. Never. It's the things that he says and does as a person. That's where I was bringing things into question, that's all. And once again, we've invited him. We've invited him the last couple of weeks, and we'll continue to do that, but he doesn't owe me anything. But I would like to. My job is, while I'm still doing this job, is try to figure out where is college football going. This isn't necessarily about Lane Kiffin. College football has created this. They created this situation that I hope when I'm retired and I'm watching college football, I'm not yelling at the TV because they've allowed this to continue. It could be nil transfer portal, the timing of all of those things. Coaches who can go from a team that's in the playoffs and go to another school. That's wrong. That's all. That's wrong. Lane's the latest to do it. And do I believe what he's saying? That's why I'd like to have him on so I can ask him these questions. But once again, he owes me nothing. Nothing. But if I get the opportunity, I will ask the right questions. Chris in Syracuse. Hi, Chris. What's on your mind? Hey, thanks, Dan. Hey, you know, a couple things on Lane Kiffin, with the timing and the manner which he left, boy, it really sets up Ole Miss to be the little darlings of the college football playoffs. I bet you their games the ratings will be through the roof. And, Dan, you hit on just what I was going to say. The thing that really bothered me at that press conference yesterday is when Lane said he wishes he could have finished out this historic season at Ole Miss, but the school didn't Want him making it seem like somehow he's the victim. And yeah, possible nickname for Lane Kiffin of how he's always chasing that next gig. Lane sniffing. And lastly, a possible mock headliner T shirt for all the fans that he's jilted over the years. Coach Kiffin always in the pass hole. Lane. All right, thank you, Chris. Thank you. All right, Fritz, are you going to have mock headlines with Lane Kiffin going to lsu? Sounds like we need to do that. Begging for it at this point. John in Indiana. Good morning, John. What's on your mind today? Thanks for taking the call, Dan. Really enjoy your show. Two things. First, about Jackson Dart, you know, Jackson Dart said it probably as well as it can be said. He's a football player in one week. All of the pundits are screaming, well, did you see that hit on the quarterback? It really wasn't that. It wasn't flagrant or anything. It's not unnecessary roughness. The linebacker, you know, it's hard to pull up. And then when a guy tries to make a football play, now we're questioning whether he's intelligent enough to get out of bounds. I do believe Jackson Dart was headed out of bounds. His next step was going to be out of bounds. He just didn't get there. But I appreciate the fact the guy's willing to take a hit. The game is, you know, they used to say basketball was non contact and. And football was a collision sport. Well, now basketball is a collision sport and. And football's a train wreck when these guys hit each other. These guys are so big, so physical. Avoid those hits. If you're a quarterback, you avoid those hits. You're just coming out of concussion protocol. And yes, he was getting out of bound. You're 2 in 10, get out of bounds. Hey, he was going to get out of bounds. He could have gotten out of bounds prior to that and then he doesn't get hit. That's all. Yes, it's a violent game. Yes, they're football players. But the goal at that position is to eliminate as many of those hits as possible. Not to prove how tough you are. Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan and Annette. Thanks for taking my call. A couple of things before my comments. First of all, I'm glad my Carolina Panthers finally provided a play of the day yesterday. That was exciting. That took years. Secondly, seeing pictures of Seton over in Europe, he looks about five to 10 years younger. I don't know if that's what happens when you go to Europe, but You know, looks like he's having fun. Anyways, the Patriots last night. Daniel always say this, watch a full game. It was the first time on the West Coast I've actually seen a full game of the Patriots. That's a complete team. Mike Rabel's doing a great job. He was a much better coach than he showed in Tennessee because they took players away from him and just gave him the minimal to work with. So he's great in that realm. With that, I have two stats of the day. So last night the Patriots won their 10th straight game in a season that the prior season they lost 13 plus games. That hasn't happened since 1999. Also, Mike Ray will become only the third coach in 55 years to have a 10 game winning streak with the team in his first season. So guys, have a great day. Thanks. Thank you, Andrew. Yeah, he joins Jim Caldwell and Steve Mariucci. But Caldwell took over for Tony Dungy with those great Colts teams and Mariucci took over the Niners team. So this is different. New England wasn't any good last year and they are really good this year. A ten game winning streak. And you know, I do tell the audience, watch an entire game, you're going to get a truer sense of a player, a team, a coach, an environment, all of those things. And that's why these standalone games, we overreact. It's because we didn't watch them play. If the Patriots were playing the Giants at 1 o' clock on Sunday, very few people would have this referendum on Drake May or Mike Vrabel. It's a standalone game you're watching now, all of a sudden you go, man, Mike Vrabel's really good, man. Drake Mays really good. Yes, yes. But it does help putting it in context when you watch an entire game. Dylan in San Diego. Hi Dylan. What's on your mind today? Hey, what's up, dp? I got a couple of things for you. I got a good friend that is an Indianapolis Colts fan and be it that I am a Jaguars fan. Marvin Pie to the face that you owe me. He spells his name D I, L, O, N and I spell it D Y, L, A, N. We're constantly arguing about this. So I'm hoping that you can settle this for me this week. Marvin, do you owe a pie to the face to Dylan? I don't remember. He needs to refresh my memory. Oh, the Jags eight wins. It was seven and a half win the over under you took. The Jags hit that nice eighth win this weekend. You know What D y l a n? We're gonna have the I team look into that, but thank you for the phone call. And we have a Dylan here, and that's D Y L A N. So I'm gonna side with that. And of course I love Bob Dylan. D Y L a n even though his name is Bobby Zimmerman. Yes, Paul. Dan. We're going to find out about that bet in a moment. But D Y l a n is a wealth mythology and it means son of the sea. D I l l o n is Irish and English means either loyal or faithful. You can't go wrong with either, right? I kind of, I don't know. I think I like a D Y l a n a little bit more. I'm partial to that as well. Thank you, Dylan. Thank you, Dylan. All right, we'll come back. We'll get to more phone calls here and our play of the day next.

Amazon Five Star Theater presents Real Customer reviews performed by Ed Helms. Tonight's review Tactical Jacket I was living a simple life. Didn't get out much. Then I bought this jacket and everything changed. Women came flocking to me from lands domestic and foreign. I bought a motorcycle, started hanging out with drug dealers. But like rich ones and we flew helicopters. I ended up taking down a communist regime with a band of rebels. On the 245 day sailboat voyage home, I was attacked by a shark. I knew it was the jacket he was after. I tossed it, giving up the jacket in exchange for my life. I'm alive today, but jacketless. We'll buy this jacket again soon. 5 stars Amazon Customer 69 thank you for listening to Amazon 5 Star Theater. Looking for unforgettable gifts this holiday season?

Marcus Jones gone to the 20 to the 10 to the house. Touchdown Patriots. Look at this place. You tell me they're not ready for playoff football. Jon Stadium is back.

His average of 14.6 yards is ahead of the second place person, George McAfee. Who can forget George McAfee? He played for the Bears back in the 40s and 50s. That's your play of the day.

Literally. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. John in Louisiana. Hi, John. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. How are you doing today? Good, sir. Good sir. Just. I've called a few times. I love the show. I love all the Danettes. You guys are the best. But listen, the Lane Kiffin thing. Couple of things. One, I assume for sure you will get the interview. First of all, you're the best interview and nobody's ever been close. I have no doubt Lane will give you the interview when things die down. I'm sure that you get to ask him all the questions you want to hear. I think you're wrong on a few things. I'd like to list these things. First of all, I don't think Nick Saban owes any explanation. I don't think it's a conflict of interest. I'm sure that Saban did probably play a part in this. He has said from. I mean, it's no secret that he has always said his only regret in coaching was that he ever left lsu. So I think that did play a part. But I don't know why you should say that, John. He's on the preeminent college football show in America and Saban is not somebody who's not in the media. If he wasn't in the media and he told him to take the job, I don't have any problem with that. He's on the preeminent college football show and should have at least disclosed that. That. Hey, I. I've talked to Lane and I. I said I told him to take the job or whatever the context is. I think you should at least state that up front. He works for espn. Okay. What's your other issue? I get your point. I don't know if it's a thing. I really see this still as A college football problem. It's. If college football could fix this, they could fix it by changing the portal, by changing the signing date. And maybe this will be a learning process for college football to say, we have to make sure our coaches are not getting poached during this season. And it. Because I said that, John, John, I. I said that, that this is a college football problem. Okay, Lane is the latest. But this is really egregious that your team is in the playoffs. Like, I wanted him to finish what you start. I mean, coaches, they. They preach that all the time, finish what you start. But then the coach doesn't do that with the LSU job be available in a couple of weeks, they would have waited for him. That's the way college football should be, not, oh, I got a job. See ya. And that's the disappointing part of all of this. It is something bigger than Lane Kiffin, and I've said that. And for the next two and a half years, I'll rail on this until I retire and let somebody else take the baton. Because college football, it's so fractured now. And that's what's disappointing. It should be unbelievable. Expanded playoffs, you know, players who can go where they want to go. I'm all for them getting paid. I'm all for the transfer portal. But we can't sit here and keep criticizing these players when the coaches do it. And that's what's more disruptive here. What else do you have, John? Well, I feel like I agree with everything you said. And I, as a huge LSU fan and an Ole Miss hater, I feel terrible for the Ole Miss fans. John, you should have led with that. If, If Lane Kiffin, all of a sudden in year three, goes, LSU's in the playoffs and Alabama calls and says, hey, do you want to coach Alabama? You have no problem then Lane leaving LSU in the playoffs to go to Alabama because you don't have a problem with him leaving Ole Miss to go to lsu. I didn't say. I said I. I feel terrible for the Ole Miss players and coach and. And their fans. I do. Do you really? Because you hate Ole Miss, don't you, John? I do, but I. But I hate every other school in the sec. I'm an LSU fan. But my point being is I'm also. Do you hate Vandy, John? Do you hate Vandy? No. Thank you for the phone call, John. Thank you. This is. This is bigger than Lane Kiffin. I said that. Bob in California. Hi, Bob. Hey, Dan. How you doing? Hi to all the crew and everything. Longtime listener. And I agree it's bigger than Lane, but I really don't think my perspective. I've been watching this for a while. I'm a Southern California fan, SC fan. Nothing against Ole Miss or lsu, but I don't think he could have handled it any other way. He was gonna take the job. It has the best recruiting base, great salary. Nil. Great facilities. It's a premier program that he can now build up. After Kelly leaving, it's. It was the pick. Now, how else could he leave Ole Miss without being fairly magnanimous that he wanted to coach his player? You can't leverage this, Bob, and say, if you don't let me coach. Now, this was the report. I'm going to take your coaching staff and I'm going to poach players as well. Does that sound like it's altruistic that, hey, I just want to finish what we started with. My guys here certainly found, you know, seems like he was leveraging. He wanted it both ways. I'm leaving, but damn, I want to go out there and show people just how great I am as a coach with this Ole Miss team. That's the problem I have with it. Yeah, if he did said that, if that's true, yes, that changes it, of course. But maybe that didn't happen. Maybe it just became that conversation with the leaders of the university and him. It was kind of maybe a little. A little tough conversation, and they just decided to part ways and he was going to go anyways. And he's probably. But. But he shouldn't be able to go. Now. You want to go. You want to leave after the season. You should be able to leave and go wherever you want, make whatever you want, live wherever you want. I have no problem with that. The problem is college football has created this situation. And thank you for the phone call, Bob. That's the problem I have with this. Nobody's in charge in college football. Zero oversight. And that's the problem. Everybody's out for themselves. You got. You got two teams that are going to play for a championship and both coaches have left to take other jobs. You got BYU's coach who is. Has mutual interest with Penn State. It's not fair. It's not fair to the situation, not fair to the players, not for, you know, fair to the schools. It's just not. And hopefully they will revise that for the betterment of college football. Okay, only 10 more presents to wrap. You're almost at the finish line. But first. There, the last one.
