00:00Miami hurricanes. We'll be back on the field noon. Okay. Saturday. Are we nervous? No,

00:08not nervous. No, not as nervous as you were against Duke. Definitely not. Definitely not.

00:12Okay. Definitely not. I, in fact, why is this? Well, a couple of reasons. One, I, I liked,

00:20I liked the way the team has been playing. I think that they have shown themselves to

00:23be a more well-rounded team. I think they have a very obvious flaw when they're secondary

00:28and given up big plays and whatnot, but I don't think they've blinked with that. And

00:33so not every team's going to be perfect. You know, you can't, I think that they've, they've

00:39handled the adversity very, very well. I mean, that, that has been one of the, I think the

00:44best things about this team. They don't blink when things aren't going great. Your offensive

00:48greatness has made up for, um, your defensive walls. And let's think of it this way. If

00:56they really had a problem on the other side of the ball, they could just suck the life out of

01:01the football and run it down your throat. Right? So they have options. They have options offensively

01:07to try to manage that, which by the way, guys, that's what football is. Everybody doesn't have

01:14a perfect football team on both sides of the ball. Yep. You know, every year we talk about teams

01:19winning defensively or winning offensively or whatever, and that's okay. As long as you

01:26are aware of it, you understand it and you build your team accordingly. Now I will say this,

01:32if we're going to say that about the defense, the office can never let you down. That's true. Okay.

01:40That's true. Which to this point they have not. Some of the games you thought were like,

01:46even when there's been a couple of drives where you're like, I don't know. And then

01:51like all of a sudden, boom, there's three drives in a row where like amazing happens.

01:54Yeah, absolutely. So I, no, I'm not nervous. I mean, Georgia, Georgia techs really struggled

02:00the last couple of weeks, especially the score. Hey, listen, Florida state beat California,

02:08Florida state beat cow. I got you. And then we went out to cow. It was a, it was a, it was a,

02:17it was a dog fight. Cal did jump on him. And then of course, you know, look, there's gotta,

02:23there's gotta be a part of Mario. Okay. Wrongs have to be righted. Okay. Wrongs have to be

02:31righted. And I would rather not get to that point again, where he could write, of course,

02:35of course. That's, and that's what I'm saying. Like there has to be a point where, you know,

02:41he could, he could say he doesn't want to think about last year or whatever, but like, come on,

02:45dude, that was one of the most embarrassing things that's happened to him, this football

02:50program. Thankfully, we have a time management coach. Now we have a time management coach and,

02:55and what you, what, you know what I love about that Marcos looks at me and he can't even say

03:05with a straight face. No, we have a time management coach. We need, why don't you ask

03:11him if we could borrow? Cause we ain't never on clock. That's true. That's fair.

03:14It's total fair criticism. Jennifer is supposed to be on time management clock.

03:19You guys don't listen. Okay. Which brings me to my point.

03:25It wasn't the time management clock. It was that Mario didn't listen.

03:28Well, he did have time management. He did have a, he, he did go in there and he was like, Oh,

03:35he had a mirror ball, like screaming out of him and he wasn't listening. But that being said,

03:39now we have a time management coach. Can we hear about Mario and the time management coach?

03:44Here's what a Marcos ball said early in the week.

03:48I don't know about visible and present, but it's the same processes and it's constant interaction.

03:54So that there's a fail safe. There's no holes. There's no loopholes in process. And I think

04:01up until this past week, we were really up there in middle eight, you know, middle eight

04:07production performance, which is critical, right? How you end a half, how you start a half.

04:12Um, and a lot of different areas that probably don't make it to, um, to the media, you know,

04:17in terms of trying to gain an extra possession, trying to diffuse an extra possession for the

04:22other side, trying to save your time outs in case you're in an opportunity to get a possession back.

04:27All those scenarios have played out, um, just about for the most part to how we've wanted it

04:33to. And it's been a lot of diligence, you know, with a lot of people working hard.

04:37Love it. Diligence, dude. That is what it's all about.

04:41Paying attention to the details.

04:45Tremendous. You know, it takes a big man to, to, to realize when he makes a mistake

04:50to be more prepared. So said mistake doesn't happen again. Leroy air, go the time management coach.

04:57Only, only you. What this is. This is tremendous. Really? Really? That answer

05:07reminds me of talking to Mike McDaniel. No, no, no, no, no, no. The only difference is

05:15the only reason why we tolerate it is because Mario's winning, but he said a whole bunch of

05:20nothing right there. No, that's not true. Really? Diligence. It's about diligence. You understand,

05:27you understand you can have, here's what I don't understand.

05:31There was somebody who you were closer to than the time management coach yelling at the top of his

05:39lungs and you shoot them away. Now you're going to hire a guy and you say, I'm going to listen to him.

05:45Very, Mario's going to be Mario. You got to take the emotion out of it. You know what I would say?

05:51You got to take the emotion out of it. Yeah. You got to take the emotion out of it. I think with

05:54mirror ball, they're too, they should have been celebrating who rams, you know, here's what I

06:00know for a fact. No, I don't know for a fact, but I'm telling you as a fact, when I say this,

06:09they said that to appease you. I don't know, but Mario's like, I just got to be better.

06:15You should be better. Okay. But to, to like, try to soothe everybody by saying,

06:21by saying these words, I got a time management coach now.

06:27I ain't buying it. It's okay. He was asked about, Hey, I made a mistake. I like I'll make sure I

06:35don't make that damn mistake again. Would have sufficed. He was asked not to explain why or how

06:40or whatever. We all know what it was. We would have, if he would have said that from the get-go,

06:46this would have been over with this conversation, but because he came up with this elaborate

06:51explanation of now I got a time coach and all that, that brought more questions into it.

06:55Well, he was asked more questions about Georgia tech. He was very brief about it. Like I,

06:59he did not really want to address it, which, you know, I mean, I would say this, this team right

07:04now, it's more about how they do things and less about the other team. You understand what I'm

07:14saying? No boneheaded ponies, no turnovers, no pre-snap ponies, just all the things that you can

07:26do to play the best possible football you can play. Well, not no turnovers, not no turnovers.

07:32Sometimes there's a crazy cam ward turnover. Again, the reality versus the goal, the goal

07:40is to have no turnovers. Okay. Or how about this? Let me put it this way. When the turnover battle.

07:49Oh, I like that. Okay. Thank you. Which is what they normally say. Well, I didn't use good coach

07:55talk. I didn't use good coach. Okay. You're not a coach. I like that about you, you know, more,

08:00but the fact still remains this team and everything you see on the football field

08:10from now until the, I would say the ACC championship game has more to do about what they do

08:21than whoever they play, because they are clearly better than these other teams.

08:27And the only way that these teams can remain close or have a chance is if they have one of

08:34those boneheaded turnover games where they don't get their job done. And that's how it sneaks up.

08:41So, yeah, I'm more than sure what they're working on is those little minute details,

08:47details, you know, something as simple as quarterback exchange, shotgun, making sure

08:53the quarterback's eyes are in the right place. Make sure the routes are ran,

08:58great routes being run, defensively tackling more because, oh my God, sometimes they can't tackle,

09:07right? No swag penalties, but I will say this. Sometimes a swag penalty is okay.

09:14Now swag penalties. Okay. Let me tell you when you're very harsh by you. Let me, let me tell

09:19you why. Okay. Because I saw a play, not that I saw a play where a ball was being caught on

09:27the sideline. I can't remember if it was college or pro safety came over and jarred the ball away

09:32from him. That's a good football play. You got a penalty for it, but that was a good football play.

09:39That is the safety's job. So I'm not going to get mad at aggressive football being played.

09:46That results in a penalty. If the guy's not trying to be malicious,

09:50his job is to jar the football. If you were safety, somebody come catch the ball.

09:54You supposed to knock it, not slap it, jar him from the football. Those are rules of

10:00football. They ain't gonna never change. Mario was asked about the, uh, the Georgia

10:05tech game from last year. Wasn't very interested in talking about it. Of course not.

10:23In terms of what exactly? Um, of just learning from last season's game. Um,

10:30in terms of what exactly? Um, I just think of like, like the play Collins,

10:35Louisiana. I know we did talk about the, uh, game time and the coach, but just like,

10:40I guess the approach for this weekend's game, the approach to the game, we approach every game,

10:45the way we approach every single game, one or no mentality, prepare really hard and play our best

10:50football. Yeah. I think the question I just say this now, if the reporter were to just be a jack

10:58ass about it and just blurt it out, instead of trying to be politically correct, he couldn't be

11:04upset. Right. Cause he actually kept making it more and more difficult for him. It was getting

11:12a little nervous. She could have been like, are you going to take a knee when you're supposed to

11:18dumb, dumb, but you wouldn't have done that. So my question to you is if she would have been that

11:27straightforward, well, then he's going to be a jerk about it. Right. Okay. Okay. Cause I like,

11:34I like, I, you know, me, I always defend the player or the coach with the questions should,

11:40I saw that that was kind of a softball. He, she was trying to throw out there to get him

11:46to talk about it. When he wants to be a, he wants to be a rat bastard about it.

11:51Right. That's all right though. Well, you know what you did, you know what you did, Mario, Mario,

11:59I work on your lunges this week. All right, dude, touch that, touch that knee to the ground.

12:05I know you're not supposed to, but you know, like little,

12:09wouldn't that be something if the game started and all the fans just took a knee

12:13and just take a knee and go five, four, three, two, one.

12:27A hundred percent. The clock coach is just the mustachioed get back coach, right? With the stop

12:30watch on. I don't think they have one. I literally don't think they have one. You don't think they

12:37asked coach. You don't think he asked coach fell to the office. He goes, uh, coach felt, guess what?

12:41You're the time man. Let me tell you something. I see Miami's get back coach. I saw, I sent you

12:47guys a text. I saw Colorado's big game. Uh, get back home. You've not shamed him many times. He

12:52was not dude. Hey, he was so big. It was 20 degrees. He was sweating.

13:00You have no mercy, dude. No mercy for the, for the, for, for the shaman. No, I'm not.

13:07I'm not shaming him. What do you mean? What are you talking about? I'm looking at the screen.

13:13He's a big boy. That's not fat shaming. That's literally said that you fat shame someone.

13:18You say, Oh my God, you fat shake them again. And then you act surprised.

13:26What do you call it? Huh? What do you call it? Stating facts about what was going on in it?

13:32Cause I was thinking in Miami coach, I feel like I'm talking to Mario right now. Cause I'm like,

13:37what do you mean? What am I doing? When I call him a big boy, he's sweating in 22 degree weather.

13:40In terms of what? In terms of what? Uh, his size, his, uh, his perspiration.

13:47Those are facts that it is. Those are facts. How should I have told that story?

13:53I'm like, Hey, they're get back coaches, big as hell.

13:56And he's sweating and it's 20 degrees about the snow.

14:02The players come off the field and pat him down. Okay. You see that?

14:08I was sweating in 30 degree weather. What are you talking about?

14:11That's because of all that moonshine you had in you.

14:17My goodness. Speaking of moonshine.
