Speaker 2: 0:14

I'm hurt dawg, don't ask me if I'm alright. Hell, nah, what he said down there and we not doing it, I want my heart to be fucked up.

Speaker 1: 0:24

Let's go, man, xavier Restrepo, with the Miami touchdown and it is touchdown.

Speaker 2: 0:34

Andre Johnson was all by himself Throws, intercepted and that's going to be returned by Sean Taylor for a Miami touchdown.

Speaker 1: 0:43

We talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game. We talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game. We talking about practice. We want to execute better. We want to play winning football. To play winning football. We got to practice winning football. Big time players step up a big game. Hey, everybody Doing today this is Category 6 podcast. Your host, big Homie, and I'm here with none other than a man need an intro, that we need an introduction. That legendary Uncle Luke how you doing today, luke?

Speaker 2: 1:13

Man, I'm doing good. How you feeling Big Homie?

Speaker 1: 1:16

Hey, man, I can't complain. Blessed and highly favored man. Blessed and highly favored, that's what it's all about. Hey, no doubt. Hey, quick question, um, about everything going on in the hurricane world. Quick, what's your outlook right now, like right now, today, before we even start, what's your outlook?

Speaker 2: 1:38

optimistic. Um, I mean, I'm a, I'm a realist. Unfortunately, you know we're hurricane football, we're under 500. You know we won a game under 500. We lost our bowl game, you know. But again, you know a lot of guys didn't play. I didn't think we should have ran Fletcher in that bowl game.

Speaker 1: 2:09

We should have ran some of the guys who was going to be ran off.

Speaker 2: 2:12

But I look at Cam Ward. You know I'm excited about Cam Ward but I cannot get too excited because he lost seven games out of eight games. You know the first four games after they got the book on him. Then he lost a lot of games, he took a lot of sacks, but then again that could have been probably based on the O-line. You know I haven't looked at enough of their games to find out what was going on. I noticed when he got sacked, a lot they lost. Sometimes it was five sacks and four sacks.

Speaker 1: 2:57

Yeah, it would get, crazy.

Speaker 2: 2:58

That to me is holding the football too long. I'm optimistic. I'm excited. Like everybody else. I want to see this thing happen and I'm just hoping that, the coaches hoping that we get what, what everybody thinking that we should be getting.

Speaker 1: 3:15

You know, I think 12 in the Mario Cristobal situation, I think 12 wins. He, a great coach, did great coaching 11 wins. He did great coaching 11 wins. He did good coaching 10 wins. With this. With this schedule, anything under 10 it may be you gotta question it. That's when you gotta start questioning, because the first year you got a lot of players hurt. I gave you the excuse, and it was your first year. Last year they wanted to blame TBD blah, blah, blah. I ain't going for that though, but anyway, this year this is the third year you got everything again. You didn't hit the quarter hard. You got plenty of players coming back. You got all kind of ACC players coming back, freshmen, all-american. For me it's 12-0. He shouldn't be losing no game.

Speaker 2: 4:05

Yeah, I mean, I agree, I mean this type of schedule here. You know, florida State don't have the three-year starting quarterback that they had, a two or three-year starting quarterback that they had before. You know, louisville scared the death of Miami. You know, just having a conversation with Braun when he came to my office he couldn't figure out how they beat Miami last year. I'm pretty sure he's scared as hell this year.

Speaker 1: 4:32

You know that one and a half favorite right now Louisville.

Speaker 2: 4:39

Right now, Let me tell you that's going to be a hell of a game To me. That's going to be a hell of a game that's going to be. To me, that's going to be a real football game, because Louisville got real good coaching. You know, and I think last year they out-coached us. You know, to a large degree it didn't have out-talent us, they out-coached us. And so to me, I think we're going to get back at them. We're going to get back at Georgia Tech. You know, I look at last year, like four games we kind of gave away.

Speaker 2: 5:14

We should have won four games last year. There's no reason in the world we shouldn't have.

Speaker 1: 5:17

We should have at least had ten, at least nine. Ten, we should have had at least nine.

Speaker 2: 5:21

We should have been way ahead of the curve, way ahead of the curve, exactly. So I kind of look at it like you, just like you say, you got a whole bunch of guys coming back, you got some All-Americans coming back. You hit the portal hard. You got running back, you got quarterback, you got D-ins, you got cornerbacks. You know, you got some new coaches, some guys left, some guys came. You know, and the main thing is you, you got the quarterback that you wanted, that everybody wanted, not just miami, but everybody even the nfl wanted him, still got him yeah yeah, even, and then he's been working out a lot with uh, what's the door?

Speaker 1: 5:59

he's been working. He put in a lot of work. That's what I can say about can't work. He put a lot of work. That's what I can say about Ken Ward. He put in a lot of work. Tbd I ain't see the same. You know the connection with the receivers out there training. You can really see. I don't even think he got social media. I ain't never seen TBD on social media.

Speaker 2: 6:15

That was one of the things I was always concerned about him the interaction between quarterback and the players. The quarterback, you know, is always the leader of the team. You know what I'm saying. And he never really took control in that leadership department because it almost looked like as if, you know, he was scared of the guys, he didn't want to be a part of the guys, you know, and he never took on that leadership role. But thank God he's gone. You know, I'm pretty sure he'll. I'm pretty sure in Wisconsin, where everybody looked like him, there's a bunch of white people on his football team, so I'm pretty sure he'll take on some leadership role in that department there, so you don't think he was a culture fit.

Speaker 2: 6:58

No, I don't think that is. I don't think he was a culture fit. I think he was flying the Trump flags outside in the parking lot at the tailgate, where they had no reason in the world to be flying them. But they let you know what they were really all about, and the fruit don't fall too far from the tree.

Speaker 1: 7:18

Hey, my next question. Okay, we go in the season, we got all this firepower on offense. What you think about Shannon Dawson? What you think?

Speaker 2: 7:32

Again. That's why you know when I say optimistic, I look at it all Optimistic being. We need to do a better job in in-game coaching. You know coach didn't do an excellent job at Oregon. You know that followed him here in Miami. You know so optimistic in that department. Optimistic in Shannon Dawson, you know, again we look like world beaters against Boston College and Texas A&M. The offense was jazzy. We did some good things, you know I thought the rotation of the running backs and the receivers. No, we did rotate good at running back. That's how we ended up finding Fletcher, because he wasn't originally a starter at the beginning. But the play calling, I mean coming out of the bye. When you come out of the bye and that's what you give us normally you go into the bye week and you make some adjustments. You know that you're getting ready to go into the next four or five stretch. You know when I was at that game he just self-evaluate.

Speaker 2: 8:39

I just didn't see that from him.

Speaker 1: 8:41

When I was at that game and I'm sitting in the stands, it looked like he was trying to be vanilla because they played North Carolina the next week and it looked like it backfired the second quarter. They was booing this man, he was booing Chaney and Allen up the middle of the hole and then when he threw the ball it was innocent. It was like it was no creativity.

Speaker 2: 9:02

You're right and I don't believe in that vanilla shit. You know what I'm saying. You want to do vanilla against a slap dick and then, before you know it, here we go. You want to show the shit. No, run your shit. That's why most teams run their shit. They'll hold some wrinkles to the side that they've been working on all year, but you've got to run your offense because again, that is your new coordinator. You've got a quarterback that needs to get comfortable at that position. I hope he don't do that this year, because if he does that this year, again it's going to look the same way, it to look the same way, it'll look the same way and he'll be fine.

Speaker 1: 9:48

It ain't no coming back. Out of all the coaches, who's your favorite position?

Speaker 2: 9:53

I got my cup, man, for you, big homie, I got my cup.

Speaker 1: 9:58

Hey, who's your favorite position coach on the team.

Speaker 2: 10:01

I got the fucking proceed on here. I didn't even notice that you got to get you a fucking cup.

Speaker 1: 10:09

Last time I saw your show.

Speaker 2: 10:10

You had the cup. Man, you look like you wanted to be with Florida Gators. You had a broken cup. I made complaints. I called a complaint line and was like this motherfucker got a Florida Gator cup. Really, is that what we're doing? Then they said you need to come on the show. I said, okay, I'll come on the show. I'm going to have my motherfucking cup. Don't pull out no cup, drinking no water with no blue Gator head.

Speaker 1: 10:33

Oh man, he said he had a blue Gator head. No, that was the other guy. That's why he gone.

Speaker 2: 10:38

Oh shit, Both of y'all had. You had a blue cup and he had an orange one, oh Lord.

Speaker 1: 10:45

But anyway, who your favorite position coach on the team?

Speaker 2: 10:49

My favorite position coach on the team I was. You know I got to go with the DC DB coach, that's my guy. Lance is my guy. I fuck with Lance. You know me and Lance. We good friends, cool people. Lance going, you know Lance like us. Lance going to get at it. Lance going to make his guys get at it At the same time. You know everybody else. You know Mirabal. Mirabal going to do his thing at O-line because you know it's him, and the head coach, the linebacker coach.

Speaker 1: 11:22

I don't know too much about him, you know from what I talked to some of the guys, he's doing good so far. I like what I seen last night the linebackers.

Speaker 2: 11:32

Right, right, right Again. I think a large part of me saying how much I like coaches is how they develop personnel. I think a large knock on us is we have not been able to develop like coaches is how they develop personnel. You know, because I think a large knock on us is we have not been able to develop or get guys for two years and we'll put them in the portal and we're not developing like we should.

Speaker 1: 11:57

So I'm looking at him. That's where my shirt come in at. Come pick your kids up, come pick your kids up.

Speaker 2: 12:05

That was two years ago. Goddamn, I'm pretty sure you sold out. Did you sell some of the parents who picked their kids up?

Speaker 1: 12:13

I ain't even going to sell it to them, just leave it on their windshield when they come. Damn, have it for free. That's hardcore, hey. But I'm surprised you ain't say Kevin Beard right now, man, kevin Beard grew to all ACC players.

Speaker 2: 12:29

I got faith in Kevin Beard again. Like I told Kevin Beard myself I mean, I told him straight up, you know I need to see his rotation a lot better. And now he has some receivers that he had, you know, and Bobby and Ray Ray. He had them for a. He had, you know, and Bobby and Ray Ray, he had them for a couple of years. Now you know what the fuck are you going to do. You develop them guys how you did not develop them guys, and those are two guys that every other college in the country, including Georgia, louisville, and every fucking college want, them two guys. But them two guys is staying put. And Miami. We're going to see whether Kevin Beard did a hell of a job in developing those two dudes there, because we know they're football players. They got dog in them. So now it becomes what we're going to do and how they're going to get on the field.

Speaker 1: 13:20

Hey, like I always tell you, I think Kevin Beard, he favored them Lauderdale boys. I'm sorry, I'm going to say it right here. He favored them. Lauderdale boys.

Speaker 2: 13:29

Hey, you say that all the time. We going to find out this year because he got two dead county dudes you know, hey, look here.

Speaker 2: 13:37

No disrespect to the young man coming from Chaminade. I think he got to get his feet up on them. He ain't no different than any other freshman. You know it's going to take him a year or two to understand how fast the game is. You know again, you know no disrespect from the school that he's coming from, but he's still got to see how fast the game is and you know like these other ones learn. You know on-the-job training. So if he do what I think he's going to do, then his shit might be on the door too Come get your coach.

Speaker 1: 14:12

You got a shirt. What's that? You got to get a shirt and say come get your coach, it don't matter.

Speaker 2: 14:18

Hey, come get your coach and take him back to the park.

Speaker 1: 14:22

I'd rather go back to the park, hey. But I was also thinking now you got Mark Fletcher coming back. They say he gonna play, Say he ready, he gonna start fall count. And you already got Martinez from Oregon State stud running back. How you feel about that duo at running back. Do you think Chris Johnson can squeeze in there, or do you think it's just gonna be Fletcher Martinez?

Speaker 2: 14:46

Listen, man, I'm a big Chris Johnson fan. You know I'm a Fletcher Chris Johnson fan. Again, no disrespect to Martinez, I don't know enough about him. I know he played over there in the past, past past league with Little Lyman and Little everything and shit like that. He's going to get baptized. We're going to find out what he's really all about, you know, when he go up in that swamp, because you know them, florida boys is going to be coming and they ain't going to be coming. Everybody going to be coming with bad intentions. So I'm looking at him to see whether or not he rides to the occasion of this Southern football, because Southern football is different. But again, my guy is always going to be the first guy. If he's healthy, it's going to be Fletcher. That's my guy. My dog horse is Chris Johnson. I just think when he gets an opportunity it's going to be hard to put him on the bench and not put him in the rotation.

Speaker 1: 15:46

Yeah, most definitely he way too fast. Now. We still got a problem with the O-line. We still don't know who the left guard is. This is going to be a crazy battle to fall count. I don't know if it's going to be Pancake, it's going to be McCoy, I don't know if they're going to slide Francis Francis in to guard and put bail on that. They've been saying so many things, but I just think Pancake he got to tighten up. I think it should be him. It's his spot to lose.

Speaker 2: 16:12

Let me tell you again.

Speaker 1: 16:13

It's funny.

Speaker 2: 16:16

Again it goes to development. I mean, this kid came in highly recruited kid, you know big upside Did he get developed? Pancakes should be this should be pancake year start. I don't believe in moving people who were successful at a position last year Now I'm moving them at another position, I believe. Okay, if you got an opening over there, what did Mirabal have? 15 fucking O-line, yeah, crazy.

Speaker 1: 16:45

Yeah, 15 O-line.

Speaker 2: 16:49

You got to be able to find somebody out of the 10, because five of them out of the 11, because four of them already slotted to be starters. You got 11 dudes and out of his mouth he said I don't recruit position guys, I recruit everybody to play all the positions. So, out of his mouth, if you recruited that way, then it should be no reason why you can't find one out of the 11 to play that position. That's open.

Speaker 1: 17:21

Bingo. I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was McCourt's spot, but when we played Rutgers he was playing snaps with Luke Cristobal. Is Luke Cristobal in the battle? Luke Cristobal might be the guy. Hey, he was the guy. A lot of series of Rutgers games.

Speaker 2: 17:38

Listen, man, people talk shit about Luke Cristobal. I like Luke Cristobal, yeah, me too. He got in the game. He ain't pissed down his pants. Yeah, you know the kid is in a tough situation. You know his uncle is the head coach. You know what I'm saying. He got that Cristobal on his back and you know he's out there. You know he took the long road, the long route, to try and make the team and he stayed the course. You know what I'm saying. Hey, look, if Luke Cristobal's the guy out there. You know I'm with Luke Cristobal, you know. However, I'm just depending on the coaches to make the right decision.

Speaker 1: 18:16

Yeah, okay, cool, cool, cool. We can go with that. I feel the same way If they put him out there. You know, if he don't perform, we're going to be on their ass, you already know that.

Speaker 2: 18:25

No, it'll be worse than just a regular Jimmy and Joe idea.

Speaker 1: 18:30

Yeah bingo. So we got to commit Amari Wallace from Central. You know breaking news he broke his leg. Because I know you're a Dade County coach, I'm trying to figure out. How is they doing a scrimmage with? I think it was Miramar. What's going on right there? What transpired, did you hear?

Speaker 2: 18:56

I know you didn't hear it. Well, I mean, you know you got ghetto news so you know the hood news say they had a scrimmage, but it wasn't really a full padded scrimmage, you know. And then if you listen to, you know, the Fake News Network, they had shells on which I don't think they did that. You know, to be honest with you, a lot of guys do that. They used to do it back in the days where they'll go to another school and get some work. You know, hey, look, man, y'all want to get some work but you normally do like one-on-ones, seven-on-seven at the most. You know, I've never really heard of 11-on-11, you know. But sometimes people, you know, can script their practice like that 11-on-11 touch football.

Speaker 2: 19:40

But I mean, it's unfortunate that the kid got hurt. You know, I just feel bad for him because he already committed to Miami. You know, I'm pretty sure he cut his NIL deal with Miami before committing because those guys that are high-profile guys like that, they already kind of get a ballpark figure of what is going to be given to them. So I'm pretty sure, you know, he had a large upside in being able to take care of his family as well as himself, and now all that's out the door. You know that is a sad thing. You know I feel bad for the head coach over there because again these type of things happen, with these type of violations, and then this shit is all in Sports Illustrated and all on your show right now.

Speaker 2: 20:28

You know it's magnified by a thousand, so you got two districts involved. And then you got this kid and his parents and you don't somebody going. You know, when you got an unsanctioned game like that, the insurance may not cover. So you get the lawyers involved. Somebody got to pay his medical bills. Yeah, that's where the kid may not want to sue, but it's forced to because now he got astronomical medical bills. And so you never know how this shit going to unfold. Man, I just feel bad for the kid, I feel bad for Central, I feel bad for Miramar and the whole shit, because you know the outcome is not going to be really good.

Speaker 1: 21:17

Yeah, definitely. I heard he came to the barbecue yesterday. They gave him a standing ovation when he walked up, so that was good, that was good. Who that the wildest kid up? So that was good, that was good. Who that the wildest kid? That's good.

Speaker 2: 21:30

We go hard like a motherfucker in our community of football. One thing about it we know all the kids. All the kids grew up through the parts. We might fight like hell and don't like each other on a football field, but at the end of the day we care about the kids. I mean me and Juve. It ain't like me and him. Good the best of friends. I don't know what happened. We don't really man.

Speaker 1: 21:59

Juve say you were dissing him man. Juve say you were dissing him, man. What's up with that man? Let's talk about it. I never dissed Jube. He say you were throwing. He's throwing slick shots on Twitter.

Speaker 2: 22:11

I like Jube. He winning championships as long as you winning, I like Jube. He's not my Jube is not my rival. He got to worry about Northwestern.

Speaker 1: 22:21

Yeah, your screen in the back moved, it'll be all right, let's keep going.

Speaker 2: 22:28

Yeah, Juve is a good guy. I like Juve. Juve coached under me when we were at Miami-Norland together. He was my DB coach. I like him. I like all my head coaches around here in Miami. We all pull for each other.

Speaker 1: 22:44

Yeah, that's good, that's good, that's good. Another thing with the team I'm looking at we getting all these recruits in. You bringing in a new DB coach with Guidry, you bringing in all these portal players. Now my question to you is this Now you bring in all that, how much?

Speaker 2: 23:09

pressure is Cristobal under, oh, he under, a lot of pressure. You got guys.

Speaker 1: 23:13

On a scale of 1 to 10. On a scale of 1 to 10.

Speaker 2: 23:21

Scale of 1 to 10, if I had to turn the fire up on him, you know on the oven it's about at an 8. It's at an eight. I think it's hot. I think maybe the Cristobal fans if you listen to the spaces they don't think so. But when you go into the back rooms you know what I'm saying. When you go into, you know the former players, the boosters, the people who are putting the money up. They put a lot of money out in the last few years. They got a heavy investment in the last few years and everybody want to see some great results. Anything under ACC championship is going to get hotter. The kitchen is going to get hotter. The kitchen is going to get hotter.

Speaker 1: 24:07

So okay, if he comes up short this year, how do you think offseason next year looks?

Speaker 2: 24:15

I think if he comes up short this year I don't know what the schedule looks like he couldn't do a 7-5 the following year. If he comes up short this year I don't know what the schedule looked like he couldn't do a 7-5 the following year. If he come up short this year, he would definitely have to win the ACC championship to keep his job next year, no question about it. I mean Sharks. Let me tell you something. The Sharks are in the water right now. I mean, I talked to so many coaches. I was talking to a former head coach last night on the phone. You know, his girlfriend was having a party and they were at the beach house and shit. And he was like man, mario Lee, didn't let me come down there and run that offense. I'm like huh, you want to do that? Yeah, that would be a hell of a fucking thing there. It's like, yeah, I'm like is the sauce talking or what? You know, because I talk to a lot of these dudes man, they be my friends, whether they were head coaches, they ain't coaching, no more and all that. I'm like shit, I don't know If this guy fuck up, you might be here, you know. So it will be hot, it will be hot. It will be hot. It will be hot. It will be hot Because what people don't realize, when you get an $8 million a year and you got a $20 million staff budget on top of the $8 million, you made changes.

Speaker 2: 25:41

When you start making changes, you made changes in two coordinators. Two coordinators ain't there. You got new coordinators. Then, when you do new coordinators, then people start looking at the head coach. Then you're the fucking problem. You know what I'm saying. Anytime you fire a coordinator, then it becomes now we're looking at you, and so that's why the shit will get really, really hot. It will be like okay, you hired these motherfuckers, now you're getting ready to go on the third coordinator. Yeah, crazy work, that's not. Hey, that's how they. When you look at college football, when a guy get booked nine times out of ten, he'll get rid of the coordinator and then a coordinator whether it's an offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator, maybe one whoever's not putting up the right numbers and then, after he's not successful, after he got rid of them, coordinators, then that's when they look at the head coach. You're the head motherfucker in charge. You're hiring these guys.

Speaker 1: 26:45

I don't see Mario being able to go to three coordinators and keep a job that would be like the third coordinator, unless, the only way is Shannon Dawson, go crazy this year and he get a head coaching job or something like that, but it won't. Be no, in that case. In that case, that's the only way, because it could be easy.

Speaker 2: 27:04

It could be easily like when Rick did good, Rick went to the ACC championship, Everybody was trying to credit Manny Diaz. They were like, oh, Manny, this Manny, that Manny defensive, wow, wow, wow and all that. I'm like I don't think so. And then, you know, Rick steps down and then they go back and get Manny thinking that was the fix. You know, I'm telling you, man, I don't see how anybody could justify going to the third coordinator and, just like you said, unless one of these guys get a head coaching job or not even just get a head coaching job.

Speaker 1: 27:46

You think that probably was premature that Manny Diaz. You think you think that probably was premature that Manny Diaz? You think he should have got one more year of Manny Diaz.

Speaker 2: 27:51

No, I think they should have hired Lane Kiffin right then.

Speaker 1: 27:54

They should when he went to.

Speaker 2: 27:56

Temple. They should have hired Lane Kiffin. Why Lane Kiffin? Because Lane Kiffin is a hell of a football coach.

Speaker 1: 28:02

Lane Kiffin.

Speaker 2: 28:03

Lane Kiffin. Let me tell you, if they didn't hire Lane Kiffin, first of all and this this not know, he say, she say shit. Number one Lane would have walked to Miami. He said look, if y'all don't give me that job, I'll walk the fuck in Miami. That's number one. Number two he was already still getting paid from his previous jobs, so it wasn't about the money. They would have saved a lot of money. They would actually hire Lane Kiffin and not have to pay him all that money. The damn show. The buyout at FAU probably was $100,000 versus the buyout at goddamn Temple where they paid like $4 million or some shit like that for.

Speaker 2: 28:47

Bandy, and then they had to pay another $2 million for Bandy or some shit like that, and so they wouldn't have had to. You know, they would have got Lane and it would have been like, okay, they wouldn't have had no major investment in him. It would have been more like, okay, show us what you can do and we'll give you a contract. You feel me. And so you would have been more like, okay, show us what you can do and we'll give you a contract. You feel me? And so you would have been playing on house money and I'm pretty sure I mean how?

Speaker 2: 29:16

passionate it was of him wanting that job. I would see Lane at least two or three years. I mean he would have did 10 games easy. He would have did 10 games in that year. We played Middle Tennessee and all that shit.

Speaker 1: 29:34

Oh man, so you're more comfortable with Lane Kiffin than Mario at the helm for your football team.

Speaker 2: 29:39

Well, let me tell you this If you go back and look, I tweeted. Well, I'm saying At the time, before they hired, before they hired Manny Diaz, I said Lane Kiffin, that was before Mario Mario was having a ball in Oregon. At that time it would have been no Mario, because Lane would have came in when they should have hired him. Dumbass athletic director director told him and Lane came with his booster. So it wasn't going to be no, okay, lane going to come in and he ain't going to have no muscle. Lane had muscle behind him. I know this for a fact. He had big money. He had a couple billionaires following him to Miami, so it wouldn't have been no problem.

Speaker 2: 30:24

I know these guys for a fact a couple billionaires following him to Miami, so it wouldn't have been no problem. I know these guys for a fact. I know these guys.

Speaker 1: 30:32

Was these people from FAU going to follow him?

Speaker 2: 30:35

I don't want to say because I don't want people to do no research, but I know for a fact two billionaires, because it became what it was. What was said to me is, oh, if Lane come here, one of these billionaires, he ain't going to put no money in the program. So then I relayed that message and then, before you know it, two billionaires like fuck that. And then they were like let me talk to the AD. And they got on the phone and talked to the AD, said no, we coming with that motherfucker, whatever, that dude who want to jump out, whatever he was giving y'all, we'll double that shit. So they were big money motherfuckers that really loved and believed in him. And so you know, they just fucked that deal up.

Speaker 1: 31:22

So that's okay.

Speaker 2: 31:25

So you would have had the backing. You'd have had the backing, you'd have had the money. You wouldn't have had no money problem. You gotta understand. We talking about building facilities and shit right here. Fau facility is the only one that got built and the billionaires built it for Lane yeah, they got new facilities down there.

Speaker 1: 31:44

I don't know how long they thought he was staying there, but they invested. Yeah, I mean he got new facilities down there.

Speaker 2: 31:47

I don't know how long they thought he was staying there, but they invested yeah. I mean he got house and shit there. So he like totally invested in that motherfucker there man. So hey, I just I would have thought it would have been the perfect marriage, but unfortunately, you know, shit happens. And then the second time around he wanted a job. Then I said my wish list was Mario. Then it was Lane In that order and then eventually they gave the job to Mario.

Speaker 1: 32:22

So I see you said something about friends earlier. Man, listen, now I know everybody. Give your boy hell, deion. What you think Deion going to do this year, what you think he got up his sleeve this year.

Speaker 2: 32:35

Let me tell you something. I think Deion upgraded Again. He's similar to Mario. He upgraded his staff. He got a new officer coordinator pro-style officer coordinator to fit what his son is capable of doing. And then he has a new offensive coordinator pro-style offensive coordinator to fit what his son is capable of doing. And then he has a new defensive coordinator also. So I'm looking at new defensive coordinator, new offensive coordinator, some guys out at Porter we got Warren Sapp up in there coaching the D-line. Unfortunately we got two great University of Miami players coaching their D-line. Unfortunately we got two great University of Miami players coaching their D-line over there. So you know, I think he's going to do good. I really think he's going to do good. I think he'll probably get out of there. You know, in that conference it ain't like he in no tough-ass conference.

Speaker 1: 33:22

You know, we don't have to play.

Speaker 2: 33:24

USC and Oregon and Washington and all that shit. Now I would not be surprised if we get 10 wins, 10 wins. I would not be surprised if we get 10 wins, 10 wins. If we get 10 wins and Florida don't do what they do, they're going to send them to Florida. I told they're going to send them to Florida. I told him he was going to. Florida. He was like no don't say that.

Speaker 1: 33:53

Don't say that I'm going to hope. Well, you didn't say that, so wait a minute. So you're saying Deion to Florida, so we'll be playing Deion 25.

Speaker 2: 34:00

Hey, listen, listen. Let me tell you this here the landscape of football in the state of Florida is going to drastically change real soon. We know Florida ain't going to win. Billy is out of there.

Speaker 1: 34:18

He got too many losses.

Speaker 2: 34:20

So you can cancel Chris' move Billy If Deion put on a good showing and get his team to a bowl. If he get that team to a bowl right from where he came from, he'll be probably in the top three for the Florida job.

Speaker 1: 34:42

I don't know nobody else out there right now.

Speaker 2: 34:44

It ain't nobody else. I mean, I know FAU coach. I'm pretty sure he wants the job. I mean, his agent lives in Gainesville and he's entrenched with them, so I wouldn't be surprised. But again, he's going to have to win his conference. Also he's going to have to whip some people ass in order to make a case for him to get the job.

Speaker 1: 35:09

Yeah, they killed South Florida last year. Yeah, they killed South Florida.

Speaker 2: 35:11

They killed South Florida but then after that they kind of you know, tailed off. But I think that team there they're going to do good. That team is somewhat stacked over there this year. They did good in the portal and they got some new money over there and they're going to be all right. But between Mario and Billy man this shit could drastically change, this shit go bad, which I like Mario. I know Mario a fucking long time since he was at FIU coaching down. I mean I want to see him win you know I really want to see him win.

Speaker 1: 35:52

I can't get over the hump this year.

Speaker 2: 35:54

Yeah, he put blood, sweat and tears in this shit and I think he can do it. He just, you know, you just got to manage this shit a lot better. If he managed the game a lot better, I think Cam would be able to get him out of some situations. I think a lot of people are gonna look at, a lot of people are gonna look at the previous games that Cam did not perform well and look at the games that he did perform well and see what did they do to him after them. Four games and it's gonna you going to pretty much see, you're going to see what the fuck everybody did to him in this Florida game, because Florida they desperate too. Billy knows shit.

Speaker 1: 36:38

How do you think that game will go? How do you think that game will go from your opinion, that Florida-Miami game?

Speaker 2: 36:45

that Florida-Miami game. I mean, you know it's going, that game we should be able to. The game will be tight at the beginning, but we should be able to pull away at the end. I think it's going to be tight. That's what I think.

Speaker 1: 36:59

I think by the end.

Speaker 2: 37:01

You know and then you know when you get down to really you know football, football, who won it the most? I think our guys is going to want it more because our guys has a lot more upside. These dudes is looking at their schedule saying there's no way in the world we'll be able to do anything with the schedule. We lost so many players. We got so much turmoil within our organization. So that wears on a team.

Speaker 2: 37:31

When you get like down to the third quarter, you know when it's like you got to reach down in your gut and be like, okay, we're going to fight our way out of this motherfucker here. I don't think they're going to have that kind of gas in their tank. I think we'll have more gas in our tank. And then you'll see I'm looking to see Cam Ward and the running back and some other guys emerge as superstars. You know as, okay, in this type of game you can become a star. You know you can become a star. Now, when you become a star like TVD did against Texas A&M now coaches got to build on that. You can't go backwards. So that's why I'm really I'm not a fan of Shannon Dawson, because you got to build on that. We did so good in that first game. We did so good. Now we're going backwards. What the fuck did we do? You know what I'm saying? It's got to be a lot of. It's got to be better than that.

Speaker 2: 38:36

It's got to be 10 wins or better. It's got to be 10 wins for everybody.

Speaker 1: 38:41

Yeah, we definitely need them.

Speaker 2: 38:44

Let me tell you this here, big homie, if we don't get 10 wins with Cam Ward, cam Ward will be returning for another year, because ain't no NFL want his ass neither.

Speaker 1: 38:55

No, hey, you ain't lying, he won't get drafted.

Speaker 2: 39:02

How you going to get drafted with these type of weapons.

Speaker 1: 39:04

That'll be the worst. Listen, I'll sweat in my sleep at night. I'll delete my Twitter. I'll vanish If Cam. Ward does something like that listen man, I'll vanish.

Speaker 2: 39:15

He has to prove himself too, so that's why I?

Speaker 2: 39:19

sit here and I look at everybody put this Superman cape on him. And just the other day, bullshit you, not, I go to the spaces be listening, listening, listening, yeah. And then the other day, the other day, I said let me go look at it. You know, because I I'm a research junkie, you know, when I'm getting in the football mode I look at a lot of film, because high school football get ready, to start, with me and my team at uh, edison, and I'm sitting there. Let me go over here and look, let me look at some of this Cam Ward shit. So I went over there and looked at the schedule because I was aware of the Cal game. Then I looked at the schedule. I said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1: 40:01

I started getting a little ticked back. It started good. I said shit.

Speaker 2: 40:07

It started good. I said shit. I'm like I'm thinking they were like six and six or seven and five or some shit. I'm like whoa. So the first thing. That's why, when y'all always hear me talk, when y'all ask me about a quarterback, I always say talk to me after the first five games, because they get the book on you. When they get the book on you, what ends up happening is you know, all right, we got four games in the books. So now they're looking at what you're doing, what you don't like doing. You know where we can attack, where the weak spots, where's the tendencies and all these different things, and how we're going to defense you and how we're going to adjust against the coach and all that shit like that. And adjust against the coach and all that shit like that, and they're going to take things away from you that you're accustomed to doing, you know. So I'm looking at this motherfucker. I'm like hold on this motherfucker. Lost to Stanford.

Speaker 1: 40:56

Yeah, they got yeah.

Speaker 2: 40:57

Damn, we can't beat nobody. Cal Woo, you're supposed to go out there and just let your nuts hang at Cal, and so I'm looking at some of these teams. But then they beat Oregon State.

Speaker 1: 41:10

And they beat Wisconsin. Yeah, they beat the ranked teams. They played, they beat two ranked teams and then the rest of them?

Speaker 2: 41:18

Yeah, and they had a good game against Washington, but that's a rivalry. You, throw this shit out, you throw the book, you throw whatever the record out.

Speaker 1: 41:25

Yeah, he did his thing against Oregon too, but they lost it.

Speaker 2: 41:29

Yeah. So I'm like, but then again I ain't got time to be going through all the books and records. I'm pretty sure I'm only assuming that somebody got fucked up on the whole line. And then I'm looking at the interceptions. Right, that's regular, that wasn't too bad.

Speaker 2: 41:46

Then I was looking at the sacks. The sacks concerned me the most. I know people talk about him fumbling. I never really even got that deep into looking at his stats to see about the fumbling. But I looked at the sacks so that kind of told me you know, you got to be holding the ball, you got to get rid of that motherfucker. And then I looked at the games where he took so many sacks that they actually lost those games. And the ones he didn't take sacks they won. Those games, uh. And it looked like one of the games they trimmed down the not so many passes. They had more of a balanced attack. You know, at one game he went like 28 for 24 or something, 24, 28, some shit like that so you know, I don't know, I don't know what really happened.

Speaker 2: 42:32

I'm pretty sure it was a rhyme and a reason, but he has to prove himself my point. It ain't like. You know, if you, if you don't look at that record, you would think, based on the hype around him, as if he's the next coming to jesus, almost as if he came from georgia or some shit like that and came over here. The hype around didn't? It's not a reflection of that record, and when you're the quarterback, you and the head coach, you gotta own that shit. So he has a lot to prove too. And the only motherfucker they beat, you know, after damn eight games, was chador. So he can talk all the shit in the world. He want to talk to Shador because he went up there and whooped his ass, put him on the fucking clock. So I understand that argument, but, god damn it, he got to show his ass off too. It's a lot of motherfuckers got to prove they self.

Speaker 1: 43:22

Yeah, I hope that. Do me this. Do me this right here. Do me this right here. Do me this right here. Give me the five people on our team that need to prove they self. Just five players.

Speaker 2: 43:33

Five players that need to prove they self. I would say start off with Cam Ward he got to prove himself. Pancake starter, he got to prove himself. Chris Johnson, he got to prove himself. Ray, he got to prove himself. Chris Johnson, he got to prove himself. Ray. Ray got to prove himself. 22, he got to prove himself. I like 22. Who is 22? The linebacker?

Speaker 1: 44:03

Oh no, that's 31. You talking about Besant?

Speaker 2: 44:05

No, not Besant, that's your guy who is 22?.

Speaker 1: 44:08

The linebacker 22.

Speaker 2: 44:08

Who is 22? You gotta look at me. He's a linebacker. The man who came up there. The man who came up there in the spring and knocked the shit out of the citizens. He a freshman, though I like him.

Speaker 1: 44:28

I like him. I would switch him with Basaint. Basaint gotta show me something. First team, all ACC or nothing. Listen, I like him, switch him with.

Speaker 2: 44:36

Basaint. Basaint got to show me something. First team all ACC or nothing. Listen, I like him. Some guys, I just see how they're coming, because this shit ain't really rocket science, it's football. Football is coming. If you're on the defense side, you're coming with bad intentions. If you're on the offense side, you're playing very aggressive and not passive aggressive. Either you got it or with bad intentions. If you're on the offensive side, you're playing very aggressive and not passive aggressive, and either you got it or you don't. All this trying to build a football player, shit. No. Only thing you're supposed to be doing is Back to the shirt.

Speaker 1: 45:06

Luke Chaming this motherfucker Back to the shirt. Come get your kids, come on back to the shirt. You see, christopher? All right, that's what you do when. See Christopher, all right, that's what you do when they're not good enough. They just hit the greyhound and that's just the end of it. We don't need them. Everybody keep talking about all this development, development. Yeah, I get it. You want to develop, but you want to develop something that's worth your time.

Speaker 2: 45:27

But if you went and recruited these guys, then you brought them into your place. You spent a lot of money flying them down here, renting, and you brought them into your place. You spent a lot of money flying them down here, renting cars, putting them in the biggest hotel, having them eat lobsters and steaks, and all that, and their mamas and all them. You feel like these motherfucking dogs.

Speaker 1: 45:45

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 45:46

So now, to me it's a loss if the coach got to be like I recruited some soft-ass kid. That's on you. Yeah, that's your talent evaluation. Yeah, you feel me, it's like you did that. So don't be talking about okay, all right, hey, this and that, no, no, no, no, you brought them up again. If it was Manny Kidd, all Manny Kidd is gone right.

Speaker 1: 46:13

No, no, Rescrepo and George Rivers. That's the three I know off the top of my head.

Speaker 2: 46:21

So you would say those guys actually came back, them dudes that came back and those guys bought into the culture.

Speaker 1: 46:32

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 46:33

The other ones didn't buy into the culture, so they're gone. Your T-shirt recognized that. But at the end of the day, now again I'm looking at listen man, I'm looking at them. Dudes bought into the culture you brought in your guys. It shouldn't be nobody talking about come and get your kid. It's like come and get your coach.

Speaker 1: 46:53

Oh Lord, come and get your kid. It's like come and get your coach, oh Lord. Last year I seen Wayne wrote this game. I wasn't impressed. We had the linebacker. I think he went to Michigan State. He was decent to me, I liked them pull-ins, I liked them. I think he pulled the trigger too early. But that Jaden Wayne, that's that IMG stuff. I think that was a star-chased get. When I seen him do this game, it ain't no reason at all. He should have ever been on our team. I'm just being dead serious. His dad would get on Twitter and say, oh, my son need more playing time. That's two parents, because we had the other dude Moss. His daddy used to always say his son needed to get in the game, like Bane or whatever. And then Wayne, you've got to understand Bane is different. I don't know what these parents be thinking like. Okay, bane, he a freshman, he in the game, my son in the game. It don't work like that.

Speaker 2: 47:52

It don't Let me tell you this right, I'm not a private school souped up private school, img, all them fans. I'm a fan of public school and I'm always going to say that the ones who got this fucking ragged ass weight room with no air conditioning in it, you know, who go out there in the fucking mud and get in the mud out there, who ain't got all that sexy shit, who ain't surrounded around all these souped up athletes where you really don't get faced with any adversity. If you, if your team, I don't get faced with any adversity. If your team, I don't want a guy on the team who's beating everybody 64-0. I don't want no players from that team. If you look at it, if you go back and when people look at this broadcast, go back because I did it and look at the fucking roster that we had when we lost to FIU.

Speaker 1: 48:58

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 49:01

All them, boscos and the Christian this one and the Christian that one, and the IMG that and IMG this. I'm looking at this shit and, mind you, fiu ain't have not one four-star on the team. So I'm looking at this shit, that's just like middle Tennessee, bruh, it's still listen you ain't have not one four-star on the team.

Speaker 2: 49:18

So I'm looking at this, bro, it's still. Listen, it's still now. You got guys coming out of St Thomas. St Thomas is going to play some dogs and they're going to get tangled up. They're going to, in my opinion. I can't say that because they'll sanction me, but it's going to be some funny refereeing. I'll just say that Heritage play motherfuckers. Heritage is going to play people, everybody else. Now y'all can put two and two together. Everybody else just beat the dog shit out of people. You know 100 to nothing and 80 to nothing and all that.

Speaker 2: 49:58

And then now, when you look at those players and how those players pan out on the next level and you say, well shit, all these state championships and all these fucking, all these, this souped up team that everybody in the state of Florida paying for it's not registering to me. You know it's not registering that. They like all that. You know it don't register. And so again, man, so the Banes and people like that, and the Ray Rays and the Bobbies and all them motherfuckers come they get it from the mud, they get it from the mud. Ain't that sexy. By the way, them motherfuckers real football players and most of them real top football players around the nation. They didn't come from them. Souped up places, man.

Speaker 1: 50:50

Yeah, that's true, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 2: 50:53

Because you really can't find out if that guy really that talented. You know because when you look at Davin Cook, you see Davin Cook took over a motherfucking game. When you look at Baines, baines took over a game. It wasn't no bunch of four five-star niggas on the line with him. Baines took over a game. When you saw Willie Williams, he took over a game. When you saw Willie Williams, he took over a game. When you saw that gangster at I forget the dude at Healy that motherfucker took over a game Tyler Womals or Patrick Peterson.

Speaker 2: 51:23

Patrick Peterson at Healy took over a fucking game. He wasn't surrounded by no motherfucker, he just really fucking wrecked a whole team on a team like that. That's what you look for, that's what I like to look for in players. You got a whole bunch of five stars and you playing slap dicks and all that running around acting like you, beating your chest like y'all the best thing. You never faced any adversity. You never even faced it in practice. You walked up to the stadium and the game was over at at the half y'all was up 38, nothing. Y'all sitting there chilling. And now you're gonna bring me to bring this motherfucker to university of miami. And now everybody running fast and shit. He's gonna turn into a bitch already. I'm sorry, he's gonna turn into a bishop. What did we get? Look at the t-shirt, come get your kid, get your kid.

Speaker 1: 52:22

I didn't see some shit out there. I'm like boy, boy boy. I don't know how he got this scholarship, but you know Mario did. He did hit last year with Bang Francis. Mark Fletcher, you know Ray Ray showed some flashes on kickoff Brown, so he did hit last year.

Speaker 2: 52:39

Where did those guys come from?

Speaker 1: 52:40

They came from regular schools, oh yeah, not Fletcher and Brown, though they came from American Heritage.

Speaker 2: 52:48

I just mentioned Heritage. Heritage is not as souped up as Heritage. Play motherfuckers, the district. Heritage is in. Souped up as Heritage, play motherfuckers, the district Heritage is in, they play teams. Heritage ain't just beat everybody.

Speaker 1: 53:01

They got a real hard time yeah.

Speaker 2: 53:03

Heritage had to play. Heritage ain't got no back-to-back-to-back-to-back state championship. I don't know when the last time the motherfuckers went there because they had to play a black and blue schedule that put their kids to the test Everybody there because they had to play a black and blue schedule that put their kids to the test. They played uh central and lost again, right, right, I'm telling you, you know, you give me, give me a motherfucker like that, give me some players that come from there ain't nothing wrong with it, ain't nothing wrong with it.

Speaker 1: 53:32

But uh, you know we about to end the show. In a little bit we almost time to wrap it up. I just want to ask you this question Now. You just told me all that. You just told me all that today, yes, sir, you was passionate. But the people need to also know how long have you been a Hurricane fan? They need to know about Luke, how long you been repping the U oh, shit, oh shit.

Speaker 2: 53:57

Let me pull out my cup. Let me cover that up for the scars. I had to pull my cup out. Big homie, don't have no cup. Ladies and gentlemen, I probably got this beer from Howard Snedderberger. I didn't want to make any of these motherfuckers. I had to drink some cane water.

Speaker 2: 54:17

I was a Hurricane fan day one. My brother used to take me to this Orange Bowl when it was me and 2,000 other people in the stadium with my little Nora Optimist football jersey on, because you get in the stadium for free with your jersey, which everybody got in free because they'll have tickets on it. You go to Burger King and they'll put the fucking tickets on the windshield. Go to the Hurricane game. So I've been a fan probably since the age of nine or eight. I mean that long. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 54:56

I went through the bad times, you know, man, when George Myron was the coach, then it was Lou Saban. I was out there with Lou Saban sitting in the fucking Orange Bowl watching him get. I was out there with Chuck Foreman, ej Baker, kerry Baker. I mean I go way the fuck back. You know, as a kid going because I'm an old head, I go way back with the team and then, you know, fast forward. You know, I remember I used to be here, just like today.

Speaker 2: 55:29

You know, when it's time to get a coach, I used to be sitting there like, no, we need to get this coach, we need to get that coach. You know, when we got Lou Saban, he was with the Buffalo Bills. You know I was like, oh shit, you know, we got a fucking NFL coach, we're going to be all right. You know we did Okay, but then we got Howard, you know, and Howard, I was there with Howard. You know, I used to sneak at Green Tree. The same way right now, I would go out there and watch them practice at Green Tree. And I was there when they played FAMU and they lost that game because my brothers was going to FAMU at the time and it was like Miami is going to Tallahassee and they played at Dock Hamill Stadium.

Speaker 2: 56:11

And I was right in there and I'm like torn between two motherfuckers, but I went home crying because I'm so much of a Hurricane fan even though I got two brothers that was going to fam at the time. I actually had three brothers go to fam.

Speaker 2: 56:25

So it was like shit. But then I did remember going back to watch the practice after that. You know, again, like today, I laugh at people when they say, oh, we're going to Miami practice and I've been going. I started going to the practice when Snellenberger was there and then at the end of the day I remember going back to practice after that game and Snellenberger said you motherfuckers scared of black people, you know, yuckers scared of black people, y'all scared of fucking brothers. So then he started bringing down, he started inviting Swamp City and Liberty City Rattlers, all these damn semi-pro teams down there to scrimmage them. And now those semi-pro teams was like that movie where the people came off the bus and they were all goddamn criminals and killers and shit.

Speaker 1: 57:18

You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 57:20

Y'all scared the motherfuckers. Basically, y'all scared the niggas. Okay, I'm going to bring the baddest and the worst. Y'all ain't ever going to be scared of no black people. Because that's what he felt like. His team didn't perform and they were scared of black people. But mind you, at that time Pham had the elite of the elite talent in the state of Florida, because nobody Florida wasn't recruiting them. Florida State wasn't recruiting black guys. Just imagine all the top black players. They could only go one place Pham or Cookman and a couple of them. So Pham was souped up it wasn't really about that and then that kind of gave him the idea of saying I need to recruit more South Florida, because when you really look at the roster you know it was guys from South Florida, it was guys from Orlando and that gave him the whole idea of recruiting the state of Miami. Look, just let me get these motherfuckers right here and we should be able to win Me and Dennis Erickson. When Coach E got there, when Jimmy Johnson got there, I was cool. I mean, ar Jim was on the team. That's why me and him became good friends.

Speaker 2: 58:29

Fucking Racist ass. Tommy Tuberville I didn't know he was like he is now. He was on the staff. Eddie Grant was on the staff. When you look at that staff that they had at that time, it was all fucking head coaches. It was like an all-star. People don't take that in consideration. That was you know. You had Sunderberger when they got the offensive coordinator from the Dolphins.

Speaker 2: 58:59

So all those, so all this shit that people be going through right now. I've lived through all of these coaching changes. Get rid of this motherfucker. Whether it was Randy Shannon, oh, why you got this fucking Knicks out here? He don't know what he's doing. Then you got this cutthroat. You hired him and you know. So it's nothing really changed when it comes to Miami football. It's just you got to fucking win.

Speaker 2: 59:25

So I went through all those days and I went through a whole bunch of motherfuckers. I mean I was instrumental in getting Rick down here. You know I had to talk to him. You know he was done. He wanted to retire. I remember getting on the phone calling him up Coach man, god damn, coach, just do it for the alma mater, just give us one, just give us two years, coach, build this shit back up. And then told the AD and the AD that's the only time that motherfucker listened. He didn't say, nah, you, that's real, yeah. And he ended up hiring Rick, which Rick did good.

Speaker 2: 59:58

Rick did set us up in the right place, but I think what happened that Manny Diaz high set us back. He could have hired a higher profile because Rick had set the shit up. So I've been at this shit for a long time. I'm just to sit here and think that was a good question, to sit, sit and think I mean me, coach erickson, that was my god to this day. Right now, that's my fucking. I think he got a bad rap from the fans in the media, you know, because, shit, he won more championships than jimmy. He don't get as much credit as he he should get. Uh, coach E, uh, and then you know, uh, and then everybody else kind of after, that was not as good as they should have been.

Speaker 2: 1:01:14

Your ass. You need some motherfucking water right now, because the first show you was just doing like this, doing like this, and I think I told one of your producers. I was like, look man, y'all got to get this motherfucker a cup. And so I made sure when I came on the show that I broke out my cup. Hi, miss Desiree, I know you're looking at the cup Big cap.
