00:00Uh, there was, uh, one, uh, coaching move in college that I wanted to bring up with

00:04you.

00:05I thought it was interesting.

00:06Uh, Tom Allen, I know you know him very well, former Indiana coach, did a great job, uh,

00:11as the defensive coordinator at Penn State this year.

00:14So great that he couldn't wait to get the hell out of there, uh, and go take a bigger

00:18check, uh, from Davo and go be the defensive coordinator at Clemson.

00:22So Tom Allen moving, uh, from Penn State to Clemson, Scotty.

00:25Well, I mean, let's face facts.

00:27Uh, Clemson, South Carolina is a different lifestyle altogether than living in the middle

00:32of Pennsylvania, uh, in the middle of nowhere, freezing your ass off.

00:36Uh, now he's going to make big money and coach at Clemson with Davo.

00:40And they win, you know, nine, 10 games every year.

00:44They played for the ACC championship and they had no business being in that game.

00:48They got to be in the playoff and they had no business being in the playoff, but they're

00:53always there, aren't they?

00:54And then you get a guy like this who can coach defense.

00:57He made Penn State top 10 in his only year in a university park.

01:02So I would think the same thing will happen at Clemson.

01:04I remember when they used to have a good defense, but it's like, there's gotta be more to it

01:11than just that.

01:12Like, is it just written?

01:13Penn State doesn't have the money to match Clemson or Tom Allen.

01:17Like I don't know, Franklin painful.

01:22I think that that's what it is.

01:23In fact, because I don't like Franklin, I'm going to say it's because of that.

01:26I think he found Franklin painful and wanted to get away from him after one year.

01:30I think that's what it was.

01:31So I'll just, the finger check always helps too.

01:34We're going to go with that.

01:35If you're not going to tell us the real reason, it's just like with injuries.

01:38You don't want to tell us what the real problem is.

01:40We'll just make one up our own.

01:42He didn't like Franklin.

01:44So that's it.

01:45That's what it comes down to.
