Transcript

00:00Man, Lopez, where were you when you saw this news break yesterday

00:07of Shrone Moore, the Michigan head football coach

00:10that took over after Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL,

00:14being fired seemingly abruptly yesterday

00:18for having an inappropriate relationship with a staffer under his charge?

00:22I was elbows out fighting off a bunch of moms.

00:25I forgot about that.

00:28We'll get to that during confessions.

00:30I guess we will.

00:32But, man, this is a scandal in college football

00:35in what has already been a crazy college football season

00:39that is taking it to a whole other level.

00:42Obviously, it has all the salacious bits,

00:44but also it can have ramifications all the way across the landscape.

00:48Yeah, that's kind of the dynamic of this whole story.

00:51It was a four-hour window, and we mentioned it earlier.

00:56The first message that I got, the first tweet or whatever it was that I saw

01:00was just, Shrone Moore fired with cause.

01:04And so, like a lot of times, I'm thinking, well, maybe he, you know, whatever.

01:09I thought just me being –

01:12It's a coaching thing.

01:13I thought it was a coaching thing or I thought it was an affair.

01:15Oh, for cause usually means something nefarious.

01:18Yeah, yeah.

01:18Like, I don't know if affair specifically, but it usually means something nefarious.

01:21I'm saying where my mind went was like, oh, he probably had an affair

01:24or there was some football-related, you know, very nefarious thing.

01:28And then you start getting the story over the course of these four hours,

01:31and your jaw just drops.

01:34Yeah.

01:35And some of the reports, obviously some of them we're not going to necessarily say

01:38because they were, you know, they're unsubstantiated still or just becoming.

01:44But then as you absorb the whole thing and you kind of dig into it last night

01:48and this morning, and I'm like, this thing is not as salacious.

01:52Like, this is – the way I put it with you guys,

01:55if you thought the college football sort of coaching carousel

01:59and the past few weeks was crazy, we might just be getting warmed up.

02:03We might just be getting warmed up.

02:05Yeah, it kind of went from a little bit of pointing and laughing to,

02:09damn, this is kind of sad.

02:10Well, yeah, because at first it was just like, all right,

02:11they fired their coach for cause.

02:13And we were – I mean, we'll talk more about it.

02:15Like, there are some stories, especially in the college sports space,

02:19where you go, oh, that's a funny story because, like,

02:21who ultimately is being hurt tangibly in these places, right?

02:26And I guess you could say, especially with a sexual relationship

02:28where there's power dynamics, there's, you know, potential for hurt there,

02:32and I don't want to forget that.

02:34But, like, all right, Michigan, and we can laugh at Michigan.

02:37Jerome Moore, almost in, like, Mel Tucker-type space

02:39where he gets in the place, gets a big contract and everything,

02:42and then, you know, sexual impropriety ends up taking him out of that space.

02:45And then we find out later in the day that he has been, you know,

02:49he has been taken to jail as a suspect of an alleged assault

02:53hours after he was fired.

02:55And this goes into just, like, a whole different space of everything

02:59with some of the, you know, some of the reports stating that, you know,

03:03he had gone to a property and maybe was acting erratically or what have you.

03:08But do you want to get into, like, the ramifications on the college space

03:12without, like, getting too much into the salacious here?

03:14And Michigan is a big, like, capital B big job in the college football space

03:21that after all of the – I mean, we've seen probably the coaching carousel

03:25with the most big job openings seemingly start to – in fact,

03:29it did wrap up with Matt Campbell taking the Penn State job.

03:31And now you have one of the biggest jobs opening up again,

03:35and this all starts again in a weirder way because so many of the dominoes

03:39felt like they were established, and I do wonder if they could become

03:41dislodged now to answer the call of Michigan.

03:44To me, that's the other side of this story and why, if you think it's just –

03:49it's been crazy, it's only getting crazier because Michigan –

03:52Michigan flat out is a better job than any other job that has come open.

03:56Penn State, LSU, Florida – no, for sure.

04:00For sure.

04:01More money, obviously, the rich history, the Big Ten, the logo.

04:07It is the best job that has come open thus far.

04:12All due respect to LSU, Penn State, Florida, the rest.

04:15The only thing that makes me pause, LSU and Florida, I think the geography is so –

04:20I mean, you talk about –

04:20Midwest.

04:21Okay, the Midwest, and obviously those two –

04:24They play some football in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

04:26They do, but I mean, you talk about the inherent, like, talent.

04:29You want to compare wherever in the Midwest to South Florida?

04:32You want to compare any of that to the boot?

04:34Look, I –

04:35And being able to reach into Texas as well?

04:37I'm telling you, it is on par.

04:39It is close.

04:41And it is –

04:41Fig, you're an Ohio State guy.

04:43Would you agree?

04:43It's the best job that's opened up.

04:45It's a really good job.

04:46Yeah, I think –

04:47And this ain't the Big Ten from 20 years ago where it's just like,

04:50oh, it's only Michigan and Ohio State.

04:52It's very competitive now.

04:54And I think –

04:55And it's not plotting Big Ten anymore either.

04:57Yeah, like, it's a competitive Big Ten, man.

05:00It's some good schools in the Big Ten now.

05:02So, I think that is a really good job.

05:04But regardless of where you fall on that,

05:06it is an enormous job with a lot of money and, you know, all that.

05:10I think, like, the trickle down –

05:13Right now, I'll put it this way.

05:15Kalen DeBoer, the Alabama head coach,

05:17is the odds-on favorite to get the Michigan job in Vegas.

05:22That says something.

05:23So, then you start thinking, man, what if –

05:25Which, by the way, he hasn't been completely embraced anyway.

05:28No, and that would be the reason.

05:30Because I know some people would go, well, Alabama,

05:31why would you leave that job?

05:33One, there's a lot of –

05:34Two, he's already started –

05:35He's already started killing off his lives, I guess, so to say.

05:38Yeah.

05:39If he was a cat and had nine of them.

05:40And what if they lose their bowl game?

05:41You know, they lost the championship game.

05:43I mean, Alabama, they don't put up with that, you know?

05:47No, and so he's already had some, you know, some steam go up.

05:50In fact, there's people that thought that Lane Kiffin and some of his delay

05:54was waiting to see if that Alabama job would come open.

05:57I'm glad you said that.

05:58And so, Kalen DeBoer, like, you know, Kalen DeBoer might be looking at this

06:02and going, hey, it might be worthwhile to go to a place –

06:04He's the favorite.

06:05Go to a place like Michigan, you can kind of restart whatever your clock is on –

06:09He's from the Midwest.

06:10On pressure from there.

06:11It's not that crazy amount of pressure either.

06:14Yeah.

06:14Like the SEC.

06:15Yeah.

06:15So what if –

06:16I mean, they stuck with Jim Harbaugh for a while before he started

06:18actually winning the big games.

06:19Right.

06:20Yeah.

06:20What if Kalen DeBoer goes to Michigan?

06:22Then all of a sudden, Alabama's open.

06:24Lane Kiffin, who's a loon and goes –

06:27I don't think you can say it like that.

06:29I don't think that's fair.

06:29Who's a loon and goes by the beat of his own drum, he is on the record.

06:35This isn't just, like, rumored.

06:36On the record, for years, he's been saying Alabama dream job.

06:40Alabama – what if – what if –

06:42You think he'd dip out?

06:43I don't know.

06:43I don't know, but –

06:45That would be hilarious.

06:46Yes, and that's what I'm talking about, the chaos.

06:48DeBoer goes to Michigan.

06:50Odds on favorite.

06:51Kiffin says, you know what?

06:52On second thought, I'm going to Alabama.

06:56And then all of a sudden, Alabama's open.

06:58Or LSU, rather.

06:59I mean, LSU's open.

07:00And I'm not even sure if they go with –

07:01because I don't know what the legal ramifications are of leaving that job immediately.

07:05Could Kurt Signetti actually go to Alabama?

07:08Because Kurt Signetti has been an assistant there,

07:10and he might be one of the hottest names.

07:12I know he just got an extension.

07:13Does that change it?

07:14Well, I was thinking about him going to Michigan.

07:17Does Matt Rule – like, I know that he's been a name.

07:19Does one of these jobs maybe whack-a-mole-ing and popping open?

07:22With his extension, can he move?

07:24There were so many people that got paid off of Penn State

07:26trying to get anybody and everybody.

07:28Do any of those opportunities open up again?

07:31This whole thing is chaotic.

07:33Yes.

07:33It's total chaos.

07:34And then everybody's like, well, what about – you mentioned it.

07:36What about the buyouts?

07:38What about these – you know, they just signed an extension.

07:40It's Alabama, Michigan, LSU.

07:44Doesn't matter.

07:45You say, ah, don't worry about that.

07:46Doesn't matter.

07:47We got that covered.

07:48Yeah.

07:49So, then you got Michigan and Alabama and LSU and then the trickle.

07:52Maybe Indiana.

07:53Maybe – hell, Willie Fritz.

07:56Willie Fritz coached at Tulane.

07:57Come on, man.

07:58Willie Fritz coached at Tulane.

07:59If they get painted into a –

08:01Come on, man.

08:01I'm just saying, if they get painted into a corner and all of a sudden

08:05they're like, whoops.

08:06Willie Fritz might be a candidate at LSU.

08:11Hell, Steve Sarkeesian has been rumored to be wanting to go to the NFL.

08:15He denied it, and who knows how Texas feels about him.

08:19He coached at Alabama.

08:21It is –

08:22Hey, UT fans might want that.

08:25And I think that's one of the things that makes all of this so damn crazy.

08:28And I don't know if this is the best case, but one of the things that it came to

08:31is, are we really going to keep saying that the reason why this thing is crazy

08:36is because we just need to move the schedule?

08:37I do think that the schedule needs to be fixed.

08:39I think also this reminds us, college football is just crazy, period.

08:43Now, there's ways in which you can try and tame it a little bit,

08:45but you're not going to tame it all the way because something like a dude

08:48having an affair within the building can throw the entirety of the college

08:52football world on its head, both like, you know, just anecdotally

08:56and conversationally, but also tangibly when it comes to jobs and things.

09:00And even outside of that part, outside of the messy scandals like that,

09:04even the whole Lane Kiffin thing was –

09:07Yes.

09:07It was just – like, it's just him leaving to get another job,

09:10and that was a big old situation.

09:12Right, right.

09:13And then also on top of that, the fact that it's Michigan,

09:17which has had, what, five scandals in the last couple of years?

09:20Yeah.

09:21Michigan likes being the place that puts down their nose at folks.

09:26They got the cheating.

09:27They got the recruiting.

09:28Oh, there's different kinds of cheating, yes.

09:29Yeah, a lot of cheating.

09:30Several different cheating.

09:31Yeah, I can't be specific.

09:32There you go.

09:33Moore himself was suspended for some of the illicit things that he did.

09:40Now you got this.

09:41Jim Harbaugh dipped out.

09:42Yeah.

09:44I mean, their national championship was tainted and all that.

09:48And then you have NIL.

09:50You got the transfer portal that's going to open, what, in January?

09:52Or is it open now?

09:53Or I think it's open now.

09:55Yeah.

09:55And so you got the number one recruit from two years ago, Bryce Underwood.

10:00You know, stud quarterback.

10:01Is he going to bowl?

10:02Well, you talk about that.

10:03And I think that this is where the conversation turns.

10:07I think that Michigan itself has some things to answer for because the rumors are that they knew about this a while back.

10:15Yes.

10:15And that they held off on doing anything about it in order to try and, all right, land your recruiting class and things of that nature.

10:23And that makes the scam even more.

10:25He had a press conference Monday.

10:28Yeah.

10:28He had a press conference Monday lauding the recruiting class.

10:32They knew about it.

10:33Yeah.

10:34He knew about it.

10:35Yeah.
