00:00Talk about your dad and when he was at Florida State, what it was like and the money that

00:10they play games with in Tallahassee.

00:14You don't believe that they can afford to fire Norvell and hire Deion Sanders, that

00:19they don't have the money.

00:21Well, I guess I have the money.

00:23I think they're not used to putting that kind of money above what they put in before.

00:27My dad was there 34 years, and so the money never changed a lot.

00:32He was able to win and build, and so facilities weren't kept up, the salaries weren't kept

00:37up as much.

00:38Jimbo left because they couldn't build what he wanted to build.

00:42And then when Norvell came in, they said, let's go do it.

00:45And now they've tied a lot of money into him.

00:48The facilities are really getting nice.

00:49The NILs took a ton of money.

00:51And I'm saying if they don't, I'm not saying they won't, I'm saying if they don't, I got

00:56a feeling it'll be about having to, they've got so much money already invested in NILs

01:01and in the head coach's salaries.

01:04Do you believe that if they fired Norvell that Deion would want that job?

01:10You know, I was trying to call him today and the phone was busy.

01:13He was, they said he was on the phone to Florida.

01:15I don't know.

01:16I'm just kidding.

01:17I don't, I don't think he's thinking about that.

01:19I would hate to put that on.

01:21He's got a big game.

01:22He's got a chance to turn Colorado around.

01:25Who knows what Deion would do, but I guarantee there's a lot of people, of course, I like

01:29Mike Norvell and I don't want to get into that.

01:31He needs to be gone, but there's a lot of people that would love to have Deion down

01:36there.

01:37Well, what the hell happened to him?

01:38The guy was undefeated last year.

01:39Have you ever, have you ever in your entire career gone and had a season like that and

01:46then turn around and you were near this terrible?

01:51What was his record with Travis last year?

01:5313 and 0?

01:54Yeah.

01:55He didn't get beat on that last day with that 13 quarterback, 50 something.

01:58Now I won't say he should not have collapsed, but when you don't have a quarterback, you

02:04don't have a big chance.

02:05He put all his money into a quarterback that really didn't pan out.

02:09And for whatever reason, he didn't have a backup and Cam Ward went to Miami.

02:13That's who they wanted.

02:14And so he got stuck without a quarterback, but so you got to have another one to point,

02:18I guess I'm trying to make, but that's how important that position is because once it

02:22snowballs, I think the second issue comes up.

02:26FSU has a lot of outstanding NIL portal transfers.

02:30And I've always wondered when things don't go right, when they're promised, not only

02:34are you going to make some money, but you're going to play for a national championship.

02:37You're going to be a lob light team.

02:39We were 13 and 0 last year after the season.

02:41What happens when all that falls through?

02:43What kind of reason do they have to play hard for the team?

02:46And I've always wondered having coached 28 years as a head coach in college, how you

02:50handle that?

02:51I think we're seeing them jump ship at Florida state left and right.

02:54Yeah.

02:55They're decommitting, uh, like, you know, the wind blows.

02:58I mean, it's unbelievable.
