I'm interested in the Nick Saban talk.
00:04
Now, I don't think Nick Saban's coming back, obviously.
00:07
He's not coaching this year, Scott, but I don't know how you feel about this,
00:11
but I think that he will be back.
00:13
I don't think, like, he never really had the retirement tour.
00:17
He never really, it wasn't like it was building up,
00:20
but it was building up and I got to go.
00:23
He basically, they lost to Michigan in the Rose Bowl game that I was at,
00:26
and he met with the team, like, two days after,
00:30
and he was, like, heartbroken and distraught about losing a game,
00:35
and he wrote, like, a speech.
00:36
He prepared a speech to talk to the kids about facing adversity and stuff,
00:41
and he walked into the room, Scott, and, like,
00:43
the first thing, like, players started saying to him,
00:45
oh, coach, I got a big offer from Texas.
00:48
I got a big offer.
00:49
Like, I got a lot of money offer.
00:50
Am I going to be starting next year?
00:53
And he basically, you know, he just pulled the plug sort of suddenly.
00:57
I know he's having a good time on college game day right now.
01:00
I think he does it for another year, Scott.
01:02
He sort of soaks up the campuses.
01:04
But I'm expecting Nick Saban to be back, like, next year.
01:08
That's my prediction.
01:10
And then you think, all right, where is he going to go back to?
01:13
You got to wonder in Baton Rouge, Scott,
01:15
if Brian Kelly continues not to get it done despite having top recruiting classes,
01:20
is that considering the weapons that he's had and he hasn't won,
01:24
I really don't see how anything's going to change for Brian Kelly at LSU.
01:30
Do you think he'll go back there?
01:32
Well, I don't think he wants to stick it to Alabama.
01:35
So, you know what I mean?
01:36
That's sort of – that's the one place that I can sort of see,
01:39
and I can see them going all in.
01:40
But I'm sure you've seen this, Scott.
01:43
And this started in the offseason, and not even with college football guys,
01:47
but Texas Tech, all right, Texas Tech paid, like, that softball pitcher,
01:52
like, a million dollars to leave Stanford.
01:55
And I'm thinking, damn, man, if they have that type of money to pay, you know,
01:59
women's softball pitchers, what are they going to have for the college football team?
02:03
Well, it turns out, guys, Texas Tech's payroll this year for their team,
02:08
$28 million, Scott.
02:11
$28 million.
02:13
Ohio State was only 20 last year.
02:15
All right?
02:16
Like, Texas Tech are spending that type of money right now.
02:19
And they're not going to win.
02:20
So, God bless the boosters.
02:22
So, you're not going to win.
02:23
You're going to spend $30 million on players.
02:25
You're going to fall short.
02:27
And then you're going to blame the coach because you're going to say,
02:29
wow, look at all the money that we have.
02:30
And if you have enough money to pay softball pitchers
02:32
and you've got enough money to pay $28 million to the college football team,
02:36
you'll have enough money to give Nick Saban $20 million
02:39
to come coach the team for a couple of years.
02:41
It's not a conflict with Alabama or LSU or anything like that.
02:46
It's kind of isolated.
02:47
Texas Tech, you know, that's my bold hot take, Scott,
02:51
as far as college football right now.
02:53
What do you think?
02:53
Like, so I've already heard these rumors,
02:55
and there's teams that they're linking them to.
03:00
One of them is Auburn.
03:02
And how about Miami?
03:04
Oh, God.
03:05
You want to stick it to Bama, Scott?
03:07
Come on, Saban coaching Auburn?
03:09
I don't think he does that.
03:10
You want to stick it to Bama, Scott?
03:10
You want to stick it to Bama?
03:14
Yeah, believe me.
03:15
Whatever.
03:15
Also, you want to stick it to Bama chill early,
03:16
you've got to stick it to the movie and go play stuff together.
03:20
I don't stick it to Bama.
03:22
You want to stick it up?
03:23
It's, I don't have a good one.
03:25
I don't have a bad one.
03:26
You want to stick it to Bama?
03:28
I don't have any time.
03:30
All right, Dave.
03:31
You want to stick it?
03:32
I don't have a bad one,
03:33
it sounds too strong,
03:35
I'm going to stick it to Bama!
03:36
How y'all do not tierraaha?
03:38
That's all right.
03:39
You want that ones?
