00:00We'll take a look at Tennessee's matchup against Florida last week.

00:04Coach, I told you, back-to-back home games for the Florida Gators,

00:08two rivalry games.

00:09There's no doubt they're going to get up for both.

00:11Which one would it be?

00:13Well, it wasn't against the Volunteers.

00:15They fell behind 21-0.

00:17Coach, they got blown out.

00:1931-11, this Tennessee team played very well on both sides of the football.

00:24Joey Aguilar and the offense stepped up.

00:26Josh Heifel and this team put up some numbers last week.

00:30Yeah, it was 31-0 at halftime.

00:33The stadium was half empty.

00:35I think Florida just gave up the ghost.

00:37They had been through what they can.

00:40They've lost games.

00:41The new coach is being talked about, and everybody is looking for the future.

00:47And so don't feel good about their ability.

00:49I didn't feel good about their ability to play good again.

00:52Tennessee, again, it is a rivalry.

00:54You made the point, which one's more important, Tennessee or Florida State?

00:58Well, you'd think Florida State is the way they played against Tennessee.

01:02But the point is, I'm not sure they've got anything left.

01:06And although it would be a very, very big for those players and those fans to come back

01:11and beat Florida State in a game that would allow Florida State to go to a bowl if they could win.

01:17Yeah, when you look at Florida and LSU, just thoughts.

01:21Which one is the better program right now?

01:24LSU struggled to cover against Western Kentucky.

01:27They win that game 13-10.

01:29We know that Florida has the resources.

01:32We heard certain reports that if Lane Kiffin is offered $90 million,

01:36LSU would throw $25 million maybe at a roster.

01:41Thoughts about, in your opinion, which is the better job, LSU or the Gators?

01:45That's a toss-up to me, depending on where you like to live and what you look for in a place.

01:51But, I mean, personally, I love LSU because I know the commitment,

01:56the lack of anything else that matters to people in Louisiana but college football.

02:00I think you've got more diversity.

02:02Their basketball program is big.

02:03They've got other interests in Florida.

02:05I think they're both great places where you will have the resources to win national championship.

02:10For me, I just like the total commitment to college football that LSU has.

02:16But I will say this, in regard to Lane Kiffin, I think he has some ties to Florida that may override that.

02:23Yeah, and let's just say one of the programs are going to lose out, whether it be LSU or whether it be Florida.

02:30Where does the other program go, potentially?

02:33Because you're going from Lane Kiffin, the hottest potential commodity in all of college football right now,

02:39the drop-off could be severe.

02:42Is it a coach like Drinkwitz for LSU and even Florida?

02:45Is it Summerall?

02:46Give me your thoughts about who potentially could take the other job, should Kiffin bolt Ole Miss in Week 14.

02:53Well, there's definitely only one major name out there, and that's Lane Kiffin.

02:58Everything else, from the standpoint of signing a big publicity sign,

03:03there's nobody out there that has the kind of flair and the name recognition that he has.

03:08But there are some good ones out there.

03:10And, of course, John Summerall, who was wanted badly by Auburn as well.

03:14He's from Alabama.

03:15But I look at Drinkwitz in Missouri, who's done a good job.

03:19You know, nobody talks about the coach at SMU.

03:21But, actually, I mean, he would fit perfectly at Florida if they were to go after somebody like him.

03:27I don't think anybody is thinking about some of these coaches.

03:30But I'm going to tell you, if Florida is doing things behind the scenes,

03:33those coaches will pay attention because most every coach in the country knows

03:37that you've got everything you need to win a championship at the University of Florida as well as LSU.

03:43Is Drinkwitz still a hot commodity?

03:46I know they lost to Oklahoma.

03:48They lost to Vanderbilt.

03:49Or would Lee be potentially that name now?

03:52I mean, seeing what Lee has done in Vanderbilt, if you were making the decision,

03:57would you go Drinkwitz or would you go Lee?

03:59I'd go Drinkwitz.

04:00I think his body of work is better.

04:02Lee, you know, he had two losing seasons without Pavia.

04:05And then when Pavia came, he went 7-6, winning the bowl.

04:08But he didn't win on his own.

04:09He is smart enough to get that quarterback to go there.

04:13But we don't know for sure how much of that is Diego Pavia.

04:17And if he leaves them, can they recruit?

04:19Will he take them to that level again?

04:21So I think Drinkwitz has a body of work.

04:23I think it's a little bit stronger.

04:25And he finds a way to win with whoever he's got at quarterback.

04:28He finds a way to win most of his games.

04:31Now, will he leave Missouri?

04:32I don't know.
