Halloween is Friday. Do we ever figure out who to give credit for for the Fox set? Is that graphics that's making those ghosts appear and reappear? Greg, tell us who we got to give credit to. The sound department. They're doing a very good job this week. Got bats all over the set. I mean, look at this. That's fantast. That is amazing. Way to go, people. Who did that? Okay, Gary Hartley gets credit. Way to go. Gary Hartley. You crushed. I mean, if my producers only worked as hard as you. Boom. That was uncalled for. All right, Mark Slayer is joining us live from Denver where he spent showing the T shirt. Mark, show them what you spent three hours on today.

Colin Cowherd
Law and Order Special mowing unit. One of my listeners in my YouTube, my YouTube show, the Stick of Truth podcast on YouTube, sent me this and said, could you please wear this the next time you do a podcast? So I wore it today. It'll be out this afternoon. And I tell you what, I'm loving this shirt. This is awesome. And it is so much me because I'm out there on Monday. I was out in my yard for three and a half hours working in the yard, mowing, getting the leaves up. Tremendous. Just tremendous work.
- [04:25]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. I spend about an hour a week with a therapist. You get it for free on your lawn. I mean, that's the difference. You're the smart one. All right. Of all the things Sean Payton has done, I mean, they gave. He inherited a team that had. Russell Wilson, gave up draft capital. They are really good. What's the one thing? Because you cover them weekly. You see him, you talk about them. What is the one secret sauce to what he's done?
- [04:51]
Colin Cowherd
Well, he holds guys accountable first and foremost. Colin, the salary cap of the NFL is fungible. It is the biggest joke to me when we say, oh, we can't let go of this guy, or, oh, we're going to be in salary cap purgatory. What are we going to do? Russell Wilson, we're never going to be able to rebuild. You can manipulate that money any way you want to manipulate that money. If you want to get rid of a guy, you can get rid of him. If you want to pay a guy, you can pay a guy. So that whole salary cap thing is garbage. Then I think from Sean's standpoint, man, he's a great coach, he motivates his players, and he's one of those guys that has the two types of fear that I always talk about. Biblically, fear refers to kind of awesome reverence and respect. He's got the respect and the reverence of his players, but also fear like, I'll cut your ass in a heartbeat if you don't do what I ask you to do. And over the last couple of weeks, they were abysmal on the edge bubble screens, wide receivers not blocking. And I guarantee you, they had a little come to Jesus meeting inside the walls of the Denver Broncos. Said, if you're not going to do this, if you're not going to execute, if you receivers aren't going to block, then you're not going to get to play. And last week was evidence of that, because last week they started Pat Bryant, a rookie wide receiver, and said, you're going to be the point of attack on our pitch and pull game. We're going to be the point of attack out there blocking people on bubble screens. And he absolute dispensed justice out there as a receiver blocking. You know what they did later, reward him with a touchdown. Over the top, deep ball, over the top. So that's exactly the kind of coach that he is. I'm going to hold you accountable, and if you don't want to do it, be my guest, don't do it. But you're not going to play for me. And I love that aspect of Sean Payton.
- [06:38]
Jason McIntyre
You called Browns at the Patriots, you saw Drake May. He's got to learn how to slide. What you. I mean, you obviously played with Elway. What I mean, I think Drake May is going to be a star, if not already. What do you see as somebody that played in the NFL forever? Three rings, two Pro Bowls. What do you see that you go, wow. What's his wow trait?
- [07:02]
Colin Cowherd
I think one Colin is his ability to throw a deep ball, to get that deep ball, to turn over and be deadly accurate on that from all kinds of different platforms. The guy has just been amazing and there's so much room for growth. Sitting down, talking with Josh McDaniels, their offensive coordinator, he's like, listen, man, at this particular point in time, he is so good on the front side of saying, hey, man, one to two, if it's not open, he'll take off. And he goes, he'll get to three and four occasionally. But right now it's like, one, two, let me go make a play. Let me go do Something positive for my offense. And then he's like, hey, man, when he consistently gets to the third and fourth read in his progression, he's going to be exceptional. Now, the thing about him is he's one of those rare cats. Like, most of us can see it when we draw it up on a grease board or when we watch it on film. But when you come off the sideline and the coach can explain to you this is what they were in, and you can visualize it, you can see that visual picture in your brain and you're like, okay, I get it. And not make a mistake going forward. Basically assimilating that information, being able to process the whole thing with just words that create pictures in your mind. And that's where those elite level processors, those elite level decision makers, they see the game at a different level. And I think that's where Drake is right now. And it's not good enough to just call him one of the best young quarterbacks in football. He's just playing like one of the best quarterbacks in football.
- [08:32]
Jason McIntyre
So, A.J. brown, there was a story in the Athletic today, and AJ Brown, his words was like, I don't make friends easily. I'm a bit of a loner. The writer said his dopamine is catching the football. And in my lifetime, you can go back to Andre Risner, to. The receivers have always been sort of a little bit of an NBA player. They're on an island. They're often the tallest, longest, best athlete, often the fastest guy in the team. They're very unique athletes. They don't, you know, a lot of times they're just on an island. You throw it up for them when they're not open. When reading that article. Philadelphia is such a collective. I mean, their number one play is the tush push, ugly all in as a team. Right. And A.J. brown's the opposite. He's on the edge. He's on an island. I think last week they didn't play him. The offense was great. Did you ever have a teammate who was wildly talented but was a bit of a loner, maybe wasn't part of the structure of the team? Doesn't make him a bad guy. But like, we always think the more talent, the better. Fit is really important in pro sports. I just don't know if A.J. brown works in Philly long term.
- [09:44]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, I think you might be right. And you know, I always say this about wide receivers. I probably said it on your show a time or two. They're like children. They're dependent.
- [09:53]
Jason McIntyre
Right.
- [09:53]
Colin Cowherd
11 guys or 10 other guys have to do their job really well for you to catch a football. And, and then they're, they're, you know, they whine and cry if they don't get fed. Like, they're just like toddlers. And, and that's not always a good thing to be that toddler. And I would, I would tell you this, the guy's incredibly talented. But I go back to what wins in Philly, and what wins in Philly is exactly what you said. Hey, we've got to be a dominant front. We've got to run the football, we've got to control the time of possession, we've got to limit our quarterback. He's not a high volume thrower, he's a low volume thrower. Off the play action stuff, when we get those single high safety rotations to where they're trying to stop the run game, then we get access to the outside. And you look at it, last week played out exactly like that. They ran the snot on the ball. Saquon Barkley hits one deep for a touchdown early in that game. And Jalen Hurts had 20 balls that he threw 15 completions. That's the formula. And like, listen, man, there's nothing wrong with winning that way and there's nothing wrong with managing your team that way because that's what your identity is and that's the way you play the best. But that doesn't necessarily lend itself to a guy that wants to be featured, that wants to catch the football like A.J. brown does.
- [11:12]
Jason McIntyre
You know, I got to ask you a question. It's kind of in the weeds, but I've seen Andy Reid got rid of Joe Tuni and their O line is ranked fourth and they haven't even had Josh Simmons regularly. I've seen McVeigh rebuild his offensive line. There's something about offensive coaches yet. Tomlin. I'm on year seven. I don't like their O line. There is something about certain coaches, and you played the position at the highest level. And I think it's mostly offensive. Coaches have an ability to mold, mesh and create cohesion up front. And again, Andy Reid's had to rebuild that thing four times in six or seven years. What is the secret sauce now? You can always just go draft Panay Sewell. You know, there, there are ways, Tristan, worse sometimes. You figure it out in April. But when I see these offensive coaches rebuilding the O lines over and over and over and over. What's the secret sauce into building a great O line beyond buying Trent Williams? Yeah.
- [12:13]
Colin Cowherd
So it becomes one of those five guys working together for, for, you know, for the, for each, for each other. Like, you got to be on the same page. So you've got to be seeing things identically and you've got to all be doing the work together. You know, I always say this. All five of us can be doing the wrong thing. As long as we're doing the wrong thing together, the we're going to get four yards. Like that's how offensive line play works. And so it becomes continuity. How much continuity do you have as a group? The other thing that I think becomes apparent with guys like Andy Reid is there are guys who call plays and there are guys who call offenses. And when you become somebody who becomes an off, a creator of offense in structure and you understand the issues that your offensive line has and the offensive line faces, you start to call plays in a fashion that takes pressure off those guys. And this is one thing I always said over the course of my, you know, my analyst career, but as I've traveled around and, and you know, talked to different teams and consulted with different teams about play up front. How do you take passive out of pass protection? And the great play callers give you tools to take the passive out of pass protection, to create, to create a situation where you're the aggressor as opposed to just sitting back and throwing it 40 times and becoming a catcher's mitt. Like nobody is going to have success doing that. So it's really the structure of how you call plays, how you tie plays together and how you let that offensive line come off the ball and actually be the aggressors. And in those things, when you can play ahead of the chains and it's second down and four and your whole playbook is open to you, then the defense has to do what they have to respond in kind. So they have to defend the run, they have to defend the play action, they have to defend the play pass, they have to defend the drop action, they have to defend the quick game. You know what you don't do real well when you do that? You don't rush the passer, you don't affect the quarterback. When you have all those other things that you have to defend and that's the great play callers do that for their O lines.
- [14:30]
Jason McIntyre
Finally, is there a team and you could include Denver if I, if you guessed today, the super bowl, the best of the best. Now again, football looks different in, in late October, November, December, run games become more important. Downfield throwing, not as important. If I said today Super Bowl. Are there a team in each conference that jumps out to you?
- [14:52]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, the Chiefs right now jump out to me which makes me want to puke.
- [14:57]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah.
- [14:58]
Colin Cowherd
Being a Bronco and living here. But they're really good and, and they're, and they're the. The balance of, you know, of what they're doing offensively and you know, the way they're playing on the defensive side and you know the crazy thing about the Chiefs is I want to hate them so much but I actually really respect them. Like Andy Reid, I really respect Patrick Mahomes ability to play. I respect Spags and what they do on the defensive side of the ball. So I really respect them as a football team. Just hit my AFC west ties. I hate them with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. But I think they're the best team in the AFC right now. Maybe in the National Football League. The other one is the Rams. For me, man, the Rams just have that. You know, the Rams are disguised as this finesse. You know they've got this finesse football team, this spread it around football team. They're a power run, nasty physical group. Both lines of scrimmage offensively and defensively. Describe disguised as a spread football team like they go to Halloween. Describe our disguised as a spread football team and then they just punch you in the mouth. I really like the Rams.
- [16:07]
Jason McIntyre
Love.
- [16:07]
Colin Cowherd
I have obviously Stafford, but I like the way that Sean McVeigh has constructed that football team.
- [16:13]
Jason McIntyre
Mark Schlar, show that shirt one more time. Law.

- [18:20]
Host
That's pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number.
- [18:29]
Dan Morgan
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north. Probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
- [18:41]
Colin Cowherd
Awesome.
- [18:42]
Host
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?

Banking with Capital One helps you keep more money in your wallet with no fees or minimums on checking accounts and no overdraft fees. Just asked the Capital One bank guy. It's pretty much all he talks about in a good way. He'd also tell you that this podcast is his favorite podcast too. Oh really? Thanks. Capital One Bank Guy. What's in your wallet? Terms apply. See capitalone.com bank capital1na member FDIC there's a new way to keep your home safe that you need to know about. It's called simply safe and it's completely different from what you might think of when you think of Home security Typical security systems don't really prevent somebody from entering your home. They only react when somebody's already inside and that's too late. Simply safe is different. It can stop crime before it starts. It's the home security I trust. The moment somebody steps into your property, AI security cameras identify the threat and alert simply saves pro monitoring agents. They can confront the criminal, take action immediately if they need to, triggering sirens and spotlights and even dispatching the police. Unlike other systems, Simplisave doesn't need you to see the alert and confront the intruder yourself. They have 24 seven monitoring agents. Peace of mind knowing my home is 24. Seven protected 60 day money back guarantee. Listen, the bottom line is crime is more sophisticated than ever. This is a dollar a day right now. 50%. You can save that on SimpliSafe home security at simplisafe.com herd simply safe.com/heard there's no safe like simply safe. J Mac with the news.
- [20:51]
Colin Cowherd
No, no, no, turn on the news. This is the all right, Colin, let's.
- [20:57]
Guest Analyst
Go to where Mark was just talking about. And that is the big matchup in Buffalo on Sunday afternoon. It is the game of the weekend. Patrick Mahomes against Josh Allen. They will go head to head for the 10th time in the regular season. Josh Allen has dominated going 4 and 1 in the postseason. Obviously it's a different story. Mahomes has dominated 40 in the playoffs. Colin, I'm surprised the Chiefs are laying two and a half. I think a lot of that has to do with everybody, including you think the Chiefs are the best.
- [21:27]
Jason McIntyre
The weather is a non factor. It's going to be beautiful in 50 degrees. So it's going to be, it's going to be who's got the most weapons on offense. The offenses are going to move the chains and I'm taking Kansas City.
- [21:39]
Guest Analyst
All right, you have the Chiefs. I'll go head to head with you with the Buffalo Bills. I think that they're being disrespected just because of a couple bad games. Especially that Atlanta no show. I mean hell, they lost to Atlanta and people wrote them off as jokers. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes loses to Jacksonville and it's like, well, you know, we excuse it out of the way. We'll see. I like Buffalo in this one, by the way. I, I, I loathe the MVP talk. I think that's stupid and cheap. I am curious. This is one of those like, you know, usually the MVPs decided by like five games high leverage games where everybody 30 million people are watching.
- [22:13]
Jason McIntyre
Yep.
- [22:14]
Guest Analyst
This is going to be one of them. So I think the winner of this takes an edge in the theoretical MVP race. Would you agree?
- [22:21]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, I think Baker had a lot of momentum early, but I think in terms of sheer production and Lamar has been hurt and Burrows out and Herbert got sacked. Too much. Yeah, it makes a lot. And Daniel Jones won't get it.
- [22:35]
Guest Analyst
People just wait a minute, wait a minute. If Mahomes loses this one and then my home loses to Daniel Jones, all of a sudden it becomes, I think, a Daniel Jones. Josh Allen with Jordan Love in the mix as well.
- [22:45]
Jason McIntyre
Honestly, MVP discussion. How much money would you have won if you'd have said, you know, in a couple years? I believe in Daniel Jones. He'll be. Nobody said he'll finish second in the MVP voting. I mean, that's the thing. You got to be careful about saying hot take. If I'd have told you a year out, yeah, KD is going to go to his rival, the Warriors. Brady's going to leave and go to Tampa. Daniel Jones, if he gets a single MVP vote is one of the stories of the last five years of the.
- [23:17]
Guest Analyst
You get an MVP vote. I know there's people saying, what about Jonathan Taylor? Running backs are not discussed. They're not MVP caliber. I'm sorry. Those are the rules. Like you have to pick a quarterback. It's the most important position in sports. That's like the rule in MVP voting.
- [23:32]
Jason McIntyre
I would have no problem giving Jonathan Taylor mvp. None. Zero. I wouldn't have had a problem given Saquon MVP last year. No problem. You're a quarterback elitist. I am one of the people.
- [23:46]
Guest Analyst
Let's move on to Washington and Jada Daniels. Just Jaden Daniels stuff is a little disappointing. He did not practice last week, obviously didn't play. Dan Quinn, however, confirmed that his rehab has gone well and they expect Daniels to return to practice today. Now they have an extra day with the game against Seattle. Oh, no, they don't have an extra day. It's Sunday night. My bad. I thought it was Monday. So Seattle Washington, Sunday night.
- [24:13]
Jason McIntyre
I like Washington.
- [24:14]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [24:15]
Guest Analyst
Daniels has missed three starts this season. He hasn't been the amazing rookie quarterback we saw. Colin, you definitely like Washington. Here is it the num. Are you betting the number or is this.
- [24:28]
Jason McIntyre
Well, I saw. I saw three and a half yesterday on a site at three and a half. I. I love the Commanders. It's my favorite underdog pick of the week. The Commanders, those Sunday night, Monday night games. If you get good quarterback play, you're at home, the crowd's lubricated. It's a little louder. It's a long flight for Seattle. Seahawks have been a good road team though. But I I if it's three and a half, it's one of my favorite bets of the week.
- [24:51]
Guest Analyst
Commanders, be careful here. Road team off a by the good teams coming off buys this season have looked good off the by the bad teams. There's no hope for them. Be careful here my friend. I'm trying to help you out. I don't want you to come here to LA next week. All broken, penniless. J Mac, can you pick up a tab? And it's not happening. Final Story NBA Colin and look at us wedging some NBA into it. And your guy Jonathan Kuminga, I mean you mentioned him in every trade possible over the last six months and now he's starting for the Warriors. And you know what? He's playing good defense. He looks like kind of Harrison Barnes, ish with some athleticism. Steve Kerr has recognized the growth and development of Jonathan Kamingka.
- [25:34]
NBA Analyst
He's been fantastic. And you know, last night we put him on jaw. You know, tonight we'll put him on James Harden. He's, I think he's ready to take on that role. He's really putting a lot of pressure on people. So you know, the biggest thing is the combination of Jimmy and Draymond and JK wasn't great last year, but because of all the improvements JK has made, his passing and the stuff I just mentioned, it's, it's really clicking and so we're going to stay with that.
- [26:09]
Jason McIntyre
Here's the thing. He couldn't shoot a three last year. This year he's on fire. Now it's early. It's early and you lose your legs. You know, they're asking him to do big defensive assignments. That is a lot on the other end. So again, over the course of a season he's not going to shoot 44% from threes. You just get worn down, you lose your legs, you lose your a little your arc. But last year the one thing about I've watched him twice this year, much better three point shooter. The other thing is he's still super young. Is he like 23 years old or 24 years old?
- [26:40]
Guest Analyst
Very young.
- [26:41]
Jason McIntyre
He is very rarely does a guy walk into the NBA and they're a good passer. LeBron was rare. I mean LeBron was had an IQ of a 10 year vet. Most young guys come in, they don't have a great outside shot I mean, Ray Allen didn't shoot threes in college like he did in Boston. And with the Miami, he was an athletic guy that could shoot a little. Kaminga's passing and shooting, which take time in the gym and feel are much better, no question.
- [27:10]
Guest Analyst
So much better.
- [27:11]
Jason McIntyre
Feel offensive.
- [27:13]
Guest Analyst
Listen, your off season NFL picks have been fire. Your off season NBA takes. You had the Warriors, I believe, missing the playoffs and the Mavericks, I think, in the NBA Finals. Yeah, we'll give you a mulligan. You got some time left. Warriors look pretty damn good, Colin. I'm not gonna lie.
- [27:29]
Jason McIntyre
Okay. Old team, okay. They don't need as much seasoning. Yep, yep. Okay. Old team looks good early in the NBA season.
- [27:39]
Colin Cowherd
Okay.
- [27:40]
Jason McIntyre
Old team will get banged up more. Old team will recover more slowly.
- [27:45]
Guest Analyst
Enter load management.
- [27:47]
Jason McIntyre
The warriors were going to look. I mean, same coach, Draymond. I mean, it's the same guy. They brought annuity, veteran coach, high IQ team. They brought everybody back. A lot of movement in Dallas with Kyrie's out. Cooper's in Dallas has all sorts of movement. It's not a shock. The warriors look good early. That's not a knock on him, but they were going to play good. They were going to play well early.
- [28:11]
Guest Analyst
You can bet against Steph Curry at your own peril, my friend. I will not do such a thing. He's. I love watching him.
- [28:18]
Jason McIntyre
J. Mack on the news.
- [28:20]
Colin Cowherd
Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by the Herd line news.

Don't you forget, Bo Nix has 61 college starts. SEC, PAC 12. He's a seasoned veteran. Kaminga, you know, these guys that come into the NBA at 18 or 19 years old, they come, you know, they do a year in the G League or one year of college where they play 35 games. I mean, they get. It takes. They can't go to the hotel bar and have a glass of wine. I mean, literally, it takes these guys, you go, when you watch Kaminga, it's a prime example. He just turned 23. He's just figuring out how to play basketball. And the warriors offense is one of the most sophisticated in the league. Young guys have always struggled. So you watch coming in now, you're like, oh, you can see the time in the gym. He can really shoot at three. But you can also his feel. Draymond's always been a great passer, but Draymond spent. I mean, didn't he spend four years at Michigan State? Three or four years under Tom Izzo? So Draymond came into the NBA like seasoned, excellent coach, good conference you know these young guys come in it just like I've said, it's about Jalen Green. It's not the talent. They don't know how to play basketball yet. And for the record, J Mac, just a reminder, the warriors last year started 12 and 3. So when you bring back the composition. Smart coach, Smart. Steph Curry, Draymond Green. The question with the warriors is February and March and they hold up. It's not October.

Guest Analyst
So yes, I agree. I was mostly joking about your mulligan. I do think. Listen, we talked load management earlier. Colin, you said they're the one of the oldest teams in the league. It's smart for the Golden State warriors to load manage this season. Correct or true or false?
- [30:00]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. Steph should play 68 games. Yeah.
- [30:03]
Guest Analyst
And Draymond should load manage Jimmy Butler for sure.
- [30:05]
Jason McIntyre
Absolutely. Yeah, you should just. You should. Jimmy Butler and Steph and Draymond should be at the 70 game mark. Reward your. Yeah, I mean I don't have problems with old guys who have been carrying the league with Ty. That doesn't bother me at all.
- [30:19]
Guest Analyst
Can you text? I know you're a big baller. Can you text Michael Jordan? Hey man, the old guys should load manage mj. Stay up King. You know, just something funny and witty. Yeah.
- [30:28]

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

Dan Morgan
I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm.
- [32:02]
Host
That's pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number.
- [32:11]
Dan Morgan
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north. Probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
- [32:23]
Host
Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
- [32:28]
Dan Morgan

Banking with Capital One helps you keep more money in your wallet with no fees or minimums on checking accounts and no overdraft fees. Just asked the Capital One bank guy. It's pretty much all he talks about in a good way. He'd also tell you that this podcast is his favorite podcast too. Oh really? Thanks Capital One bank guy. What's in your wallet? Terms apply. See capitalone.com bank capital1na member FDIC. You probably think of Michelin as a tire company and I mean it is, but it's really an innovation company and that's why their tires are as good as they are. It started in the 1800s making brake pads for horse drawn carriages. Seriously. Later, Michelin basically invented the modern tire with the first steel belted design. That innovation has never slowed. In fact, it's only accelerated. These days though, it's Michelin in motion vision. The company is expanding into healthcare, energy and even aerospace. Seriously. For instance, they're developing an airless wheel for lunar exploration. It's got to deal with vast temperature swings, radiation and rough terrain on the moon and maybe one day on Mars. I mean, this is more than just some sort of vanity project. It showcases Michelin's broader shift from tire manufacturing to high tech durable mobility solutions. It's about the exact same thing that led to those horse drawn carriage brake pads well over 100 years ago. It's about innovation. Learn more at michelinman.com y-michelin/ innovation. Michelin motion for life. Yeah, I was just thinking about. Joel Klatt was talking about what a great job. So lsu, Penn State and Florida all have job openings. If I did a pie chart of the 10 best jobs in college football and I consider, like, you know, quality of life, who's your biggest booster? I would do Texas at the top, and then beneath that, I would do Ohio State and Georgia. So Buckeye's top or Texas Longhorns first, Ohio State and Georgia second. All of them, by the way, nice college towns. That matters. The next three, I would say lsu, USC and Florida. And then the next four, seven, eight, nine, ten. Notre Dame, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, you say. What about Clemson, Miami? They're in the acc. They don't get the Big ten money. They don't get the SEC money. Now, right now, Oregon doesn't get the Big ten money either, but they have Phil Knight money, so they get the money. So Clemson and Miami just don't. They don't get the money that the SEC or the Big Ten schools get in. Oklahoma is probably the one on the way out. The state of Oklahoma, what it used to deliver in terms of high school football players 20, 25 years ago, now today, it's not. That's not the same. And they don't have a night.
- [35:34]
Colin Cowherd
So.
- [35:34]
Jason McIntyre
And. And I. And I. I think Tennessee Volunteers is way up there. Tennessee, Oklahoma, Clemson, Miami, Tennessee's been so dysfunctional. But I would say, all things considered, Texas top, Ohio State, Georgia, lsu, usc, Florida, Notre Dame, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State. LSU is a little crazy town. It. It's the. The downside of the SEC is. That's why I like Texas. They're in the sec. They're not of the sec. They're a little removed music, food, seen in Austin, little broader world. You know, they just run through coaches, run through people in the sec. You know, you said Alabama with nil. Did I leave out Alabama? Okay, I'll put Alabama fourth over Michigan. No. No, I'll put Alabama fourth over Penn State. So I'll do Michigan and then Bama and then Penn State can complain. So I would. Let's do it again. Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, lsu, usc, Florida, Notre Dame, Oregon, Michigan, Bama. In the new nil world, I do. Bama doesn't have the money. Bama does not have the money of Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, usc. Right now, Florida. It's not. This is not standings. This is not. What did Nick Saban do? Yeah, I guess Penn State, Oklahoma, Clemson, Miami. I'd probably leave out it's close.
- [37:08]
Guest Analyst
Colin, do you think this is a layered discussion? Because I know you have Texas one, but we forget, before Sark, they had a run of not being good for like a decade. I think when Arch Manning committed there, Texas was something like 5 and 6 or 5. It's coming off of 5 and 7.
- [37:25]
Jason McIntyre
Well, I mean, let's be honest. Georgia played with their food for 20 years. Yeah. Until Kirby Smart. It was still a great job. I mean, Georgia forever. You're like, come on, let's. Let's win a big game. And then they got Kirby Smart and they did.
- [37:40]
Guest Analyst
I mean, so some of it is, how much is the collective willing to spend? I think that needs to be like one of the top questions before you at any of these job interviews. So Ole Miss has. They're spending a lot of money on players. I mean, what if what they're spending is competitive to what LSU is and the money's competitive coaching wise? I don't think LSU's that much of a better job in this era than Ole Miss. I'm sorry, I. I just. You can't convince me just based on timeout town.
- [38:05]
Jason McIntyre
Lsu, lsu. Les Miles won an Addie Saban. Did Ed or.
- [38:09]
Guest Analyst
Those are different eras, Colin.
- [38:11]
Jason McIntyre
Ed Orgeron was like, how many years ago?
- [38:13]
Guest Analyst
Five years ago.
- [38:14]
Jason McIntyre
No, Joe Burrow.
- [38:16]
Guest Analyst
That was six. Six years ago. Right. In the COVID era. Nil's a little different now.
- [38:20]
Jason McIntyre
Right?
- [38:20]
Guest Analyst
Wouldn't you say?
- [38:21]
Jason McIntyre
If you take Lane Kiffin out of Ole Miss. How often have we ever talked Ole Miss? Well, Lane Kiffin is more valuable to Ole Miss than vice versa. Lane can get a job anywhere. He could get an NFL job. Honestly, Lane. Ole Miss needs Lane more than Lane needs Ole Miss.
- [38:38]
Guest Analyst
Remember Dan Mullen? Dan Mullen was a hot shot at Mississippi State. They were ranked first in the country, I think into like November. Like you can do things if you're a really good coach anywhere. I mean, I just think right now this whole, like, LSU is the best job in the country. I don't know that I'm buying that. I have not heard the compelling argument other. Now, listen, if you're in the deep south and LSU is a cool college town and you want to be in a cool area, okay, I'll take that over Oxford. But how much of that goes into like a 40 year old, 50 year old guy?
- [39:08]
Jason McIntyre
Now people say. People say Oxford's a great college town.
- [39:11]
Guest Analyst
I'm sure it is. The Grove.
- [39:13]
Jason McIntyre
Oh, man, you're 40 years old, you.
- [39:15]
Guest Analyst
Don'T really care about a great college town. Do you?
- [39:18]
Jason McIntyre
No, I'm saying if you're asking me if I could have any college football job, me, I would have a different opinion. I would take USC and Texas, and I may take Florida third because I like Gainesville.
- [39:29]
Guest Analyst
So let's drill down on Texas. What? I've never been to Austin, so I don't know. I can't speak about it. Tell me, what is so awesome about Austin, Texas, besides Joe Rogan moved there with a bunch of podcast comedians?
- [39:40]
Jason McIntyre
Well, it's just. You're saying it's like saying somebody's never been to London. What makes London so cool? Well, you got to go to London to know what London.
- [39:48]
Guest Analyst
Well, London has an amazing history. Austin's like a. Last 20 years, it's been amazing.
- [39:52]
Jason McIntyre
Right?
- [39:53]
Guest Analyst
Austin wasn't some mecca in the 1980s. It's. It's a. It's a kind of a new boom town right now.
- [39:59]
Jason McIntyre
No, I think Nashville is the newer boomtown. I think Austin's got the river, hill country, the music, the food. I think Austin's just probably the best college town out there. It's one of the best college towns. That's part of it.
- [40:13]
Guest Analyst
That. That's. That's a compelling argument.
- [40:14]
Jason McIntyre
And it's got no state tax. Best. Best athletic director probably in the country. And it's just got an endless reservoir. It's like Amazon if it was a college football program. There's just a lot of money always, so they just got a lot of things. It's got, you know, it's a little hot in the summer for my taste, but it's no state tax, great economy. I mean, it's a great place. There's a reason. Even when they're not good, they recruit well. It's. You take a kid to Austin, Texas, for the night, or you take a kid to, you know, it's cool.
- [40:46]
Guest Analyst
There's a lot of fun stuff. So now let's get to the football. Who's more likely to win sooner? Whoever's coaching in Oregon or whoever's coaching in Austin?
- [40:56]
Jason McIntyre
Well, Texas has advantages.
- [40:58]
Guest Analyst
Oh, does it?
- [40:59]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah.
- [41:00]
Guest Analyst
Oregon's in the mix every year.
- [41:01]
Jason McIntyre
Oregon's tucked in the far left rainy part of the country. If you took Phil Knight out, Oregon would be winning six games, seven games a year.
- [41:09]
Guest Analyst
That's if the Phil Knight's still there, Nike's in their backyard. I just think it's easier to win at Oregon by a mile than lsu. I don't understand why someone would go LSU over Oregon. I'm the coach. I want to win.
- [41:21]
Jason McIntyre
Let me Ask you, if it's so hard to win big, then why did for 20 years the SEC crown the national champion, Nick Saban didn't seem to have a problem. Kirby Smart's not having a problem. Lane Kiffin turned around Ole Miss. No, if you're a good coach, you win games anywhere. Yeah, that's.
- [41:37]
Guest Analyst
That's a good.
- [41:38]
Jason McIntyre
Kurt Signetti's crushing in the Big Ten and Indiana. So, I mean, if you're confident, it doesn't matter. You're going to get. It's like. It's almost like the world today. If you're good and start a YouTube channel, you don't have to be the network. You'll get an audience. If you start a podcast and you're fascinating, you'll get an audience. So you can't be afraid of, oh, my God, we got to play Georgia. Nick Saban played him a lot and won a bunch of natties. Well, we got to play Ohio State. Jim Harbaugh did really well with that at the end. You got to win games. I'm just saying, in the top two teams in the country right now are in the Big Ten. There's a bunch of good teams. I just watched Alabama struggle this past weekend with a totally average team. Yeah, I mean, Alabama today doesn't look like Alabama five years ago.
- [42:24]
Guest Analyst
They've got a gauntlet of a schedule. Let me ask you about Clerk Lee at Vanderbilt. I know Vanderbilt. Oh, what he's done. Bringing in players, Colin, with their recruiting. Bruce Feldman just did a story on this. I'm just telling you. I appreciate that. What Clark Lee's done at Vanderbilt than anything that I've seen at LSU from Brian Kelly the last few years, I mean, he's getting four or five star guys and losing games. Clark Lee at Vandy winning with like three, three, two and three star players. When you do more with less, that's when I look up to you. And I. I think Clark Lee is a guy who should probably be in the mix.
- [42:56]
Jason McIntyre
