00:00We'll turn our attention to Oxford and Pete Golden.
00:03Pete Golden and Ole Miss, on an interim staff and basis, won two playoff games.
00:09They knocked off Tulane, knocked off Georgia, and went head-to-head with top-ranked Miami.
00:14Coach, can the Rebels get back to the college football playoff without possibly Trinidad Chambliss at the helm?
00:23Well, you know, they did exceptionally well in the portal.
00:26I think they're ranked number two in many rankings as far as having the best portal class in the country.
00:32But I think the most important position that Golden has to fill is the offensive coordinator position.
00:39Because so much about their success was about how Charlie Weiss ran that offense after Lane Kiffin was gone.
00:46After he was not on the sideline looking at that play sheet.
00:49I think it was Charlie Weiss calling the plays all the time anyway.
00:52And he did a great job with it.
00:53And that's going to be very important because a great part of their success at Ole Miss was the explosiveness of their offense.
01:01The way they could run and pass.
01:04The way they could score with big plays.
01:06The excitement of their offense was a big part of their image of who they are.
01:12So that's critical for them.
01:14They've got an outstanding quarterback out of Auburn and Deuce Knight.
01:17Great dual threat.
01:18They've got to get a coach that can take a dual threat quarterback and use him a little bit more.
01:22Chambliss could run, but he wasn't what I would call a dual threat where they had designed running plays that often with him.
01:29I thought he was just a great thrower and quarterback that could also scramble.
01:34And so I think that's going to be important.
01:36If they do, Ole Miss very well could get back into the playoff picture because of how well they did in the playoffs without Lane Kiffin.
01:45And the players that they've gotten out of the portal to continue to have an outstanding football team.
01:51Yeah, we'll see exactly the type of talent.
01:54We'll talk about Deuce Knight throughout the offseason.
01:57See if he can live up to the hype.
01:59Definitely put up some numbers against an FCS opponent.
02:03With Auburn, he can run.
02:05He can throw.
02:06He's a big kid.
02:076'4", about 225 pounds.
02:10That carries, especially in the conference, especially if you pair him with the right offensive coordinator.
