00:00So, Marcus Freeman got a long-term extension.

00:07They're saying it's four years, which isn't very long-term to me, but it makes him one

00:11of the highest paid coaches in the country.

00:14Well, here's what I have to say about that.

00:17I think when you're the coach at Notre Dame, you should be one of the highest paid coaches

00:21in the country.

00:22It's Notre Dame.

00:24Do you think he deserves a long-term extension for the 11 wins this year and the job he's

00:30done with the Irish?

00:32Yes, I do.

00:33I know that loss to Northern Illinois was bad, but I think Freeman's done a great job.

00:37Huge bowl game against Indiana, your alma mater, Scottie, should be a lot of fun.

00:42I'm going to say this, too.

00:43That is a hard job.

00:44You know what the craziest thing is?

00:46Brian Kelly could have just stayed at Notre Dame and done this thing year after year after

00:50year.

00:51He could have gone down to SEC country, be the big man on campus.

00:54He should have stayed at Notre Dame there, pal, and things would have gone well for you.

00:58That's a bad decision by you.

00:59I always said that.

01:01I said the same thing on this show for the entire year.

01:04He should have never left South Bend.

01:06He had it all figured out there, and at LSU, he has nothing figured out.

01:10Notre Dame's going to have Jeremiah Love and Howard Cross III available against Indiana

01:15in the playoff Friday night in South Bend.

01:17By the way, I'm friends with Howard Cross and his family, I know, obviously.

01:24I've known Howard for a long time, a good buddy of mine, and his son is a monster.

01:30When he got that gig at Notre Dame, I was really happy for the kid.

01:33He's turned into a great player at Notre Dame, and he'll be in the game Friday night, and

01:38I hope he loses to Indiana and has a miserable night and everything caves in on him.

01:44A bright future in the NFL for Howard Cross III, and I just think that I got to go with

01:50my Hoosiers.

01:51I really do.

01:52I'm really looking forward to Friday night.

01:54By the way, Penn State quarterback Drew Aller will return for his senior season at Penn

01:59State.

02:00His backup, Pribyla, will skip the playoffs and enter the transfer portal because he found

02:05out that Aller's coming back, and he'll never play another down at Penn State, as sure as

02:09he's sitting there today.

02:10I'll say this.

02:11I think Drew Aller needs a senior year at Penn State because I don't think he's NFL

02:17ready.

02:18I think he's been average at best at Penn State, and he proved it against Oregon with

02:22his two interceptions that cost him the game.

02:25I think he does need a full season of seasoning.

02:27I do not believe he's ready for the NFL now.

02:29They projected him as the fourth quarterback taken in the draft, and I just don't buy that

02:34for one minute that he's ready to lead an NFL team.

02:37He'd be a mess.

02:39We're reading each other's mail.

02:40I feel the same way.

02:41They pumped this guy up like he's some kind of special quarterback.

02:44Had people not watched him play all year at Penn State, he should have been way better

02:47than he was.

02:48Great call by you, Pharrell.

02:49He does need another year of seasoning.

02:50Like Bo Nix, he played in that final year.

02:52Then look at him.

02:53Now with Denver, getting better and better all the time.

02:54You need the extra year.

02:56Couldn't agree more.
