00:00do you think penn state and the paternal family do you think you guys where are you right now
00:06when it comes to penn state and the administration right now are you guys
00:11trying to get together because i pray to god one day we see that again because every time i turn
00:17on penn state i people are under the notion james franklin made the thing i'm like wait a minute
00:22that's not the case here this is joe pot dude do you think you'll ever see that merging again
00:28where that relationship is back in a great spot well i i can tell you right now matt campbell who's
00:34our new coach i have a great relationship with him already and i've spent a lot of time with him
00:38and he has really done an unbelievable job you know miami you know from miami they went through
00:44a period where the former players were kind of got the stiff arm and we kind of went through that
00:49a
00:49little bit the last decade or so but matt campbell has made it a point to bring former players back
00:54to engage the current players with the former players you know you have you had guys coming in
00:59uh you know he brought in a different decade every weekend so a guy like carrie collins who played in
01:04the 90s is sitting down having dinner with the current quarterbacks and they're learning about what you
01:09know what this place is about what they stand for so it's been really really good matt has done a
01:13great
01:14job i think matt uh i think the people in this community the people penn state fans are really excited
01:20about what he can do and rallying to the cause so i think i think we've worn a really good
01:24place there
01:26i gotta tell you you know all the things that you guys did paternalville and all that back in the
01:31day
01:31i want to see that stuff coming back because it's truly one of the greatest fan bases of all time
01:37to
01:38see where penn state is right now when you guys first went into the big 10 i mean jay your
01:44pop built
01:45that thing what was that stating when he first got the job 30 000 now all of a sudden it's
01:50over 100 000
01:51is that right i think it was 50 000 or something to that effect but you know it's 107 000
01:56now but but
01:58but i think i think we're there i think our fan base is excited about matt campbell i think part
02:03of it
02:03is this one of the things matt campbell said in his first press conference really jumped out a lot of
02:07people he said if the only reason you're going to come to penn state is because we offer you the
02:11most money
02:12this may not be the place for you and i think you're seeing that to an extent where ohio state
02:17ryan day has got guys buying into the whole program uh marcus freeman at notre dame certainly mario
02:23cristobal down in miami has got guys buying into the idea that this program is more than just wins
02:28it's more just wins and losses about being part of something because i've said this a hundred times
02:33any fool with a checkbook in college sports right now can build a roster but can you build a team
02:38and i
02:39think matt's that kind of coach and i think there's a there's more coaches like that now i think that
02:43are emerging and having success and i think that's good for the future of college football
