1
00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:05.520
<v 0>They'll be out here in south Florida, Miami, Florida patterns.</v>

2
00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:06.353
It just makes sense.

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.190
<v 1>Top five coaching candidates on the hot seat this year.</v>

4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.140
<v 2>I want a national title two years ago. How much Goodwill does that by you? Not.</v>

5
00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:19.610
<v 0>I've never taunted like contrary to popular belief.</v>

6
00:00:19.970 --> 00:00:24.710
I danced and had a good time within the game because that's what people do

7
00:00:24.830 --> 00:00:25.663
ordinarily.

8
00:00:28.370 --> 00:00:31.910
<v 1>Hey everyone, I am McKinsey, Selman and welcome to sports. Seriously,</v>

9
00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:34.460
a new show coming to you from the USA today, sports network,

10
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:37.700
where your fandom and our insight meet this week.

11
00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:41.210
My co-captain is for the winds, Boston man, turn Florida, man.

12
00:00:41.210 --> 00:00:44.060
So he's freaking basically Tom Brady,

13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.030
the one and only Andy Nesbit. What's up.

14
00:00:47.770 --> 00:00:49.940
<v 2>Thank you for having me. As you know, every time I'm here,</v>

15
00:00:49.940 --> 00:00:53.060
I have a blast and a half and this week is going to be the same.

16
00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:56.420
We've got interviews with Deon Sanders who wants me to call him coach,

17
00:00:56.450 --> 00:00:58.220
but I'm just not going to do it. Cause he's not my coach.

18
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.830
And also Miami hurricanes quarterback, the Eric King,

19
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.920
who's playing Alabama this weekend and we all know the Pittston side are pretty

20
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.840
good at football. So good luck with that, bro.

21
00:01:06.410 --> 00:01:08.510
<v 1>But first like we do with every show,</v>

22
00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:11.720
we start off with the three things you are talking about in the fourth world

23
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:15.020
this week. So first things first return of the mat.

24
00:01:15.050 --> 00:01:17.270
I hope y'all love what I did with that. There it is.

25
00:01:17.270 --> 00:01:21.020
NFL season and the most shocking cut this week as the NFL is trimming down this

26
00:01:21.020 --> 00:01:24.260
roster, 53 guys has to be the Patriots,

27
00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:28.460
letting go be a mutiny and naming Mack Jones as quarterback. Number one,

28
00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:30.890
the Andy, I know you're a pats fan through and through.

29
00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:33.050
So how are fans feeling right now?

30
00:01:33.050 --> 00:01:36.890
I know that Mack Jones is Jersey sold out in like less than two seconds after he

31
00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:37.850
was announced as a starter.

32
00:01:38.750 --> 00:01:42.020
<v 2>Uh, in two words, I love it. Well, I guess that's three words, but whatever.</v>

33
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.280
900 years ago, bill Belicheck and the Patriots signed drew Bledsoe do a 10 year,

34
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.190
a hundred, $3 million deal. And they said bill. And they said,

35
00:01:49.190 --> 00:01:51.650
drew Bledsoe is going to be the quarterback of the Patriots forever.

36
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:54.290
Eight months later, he was the backup. The Tom Brady.

37
00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:56.300
We all know what happened after that bill Bellacheck.

38
00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:59.090
We gave him the best talent evaluator in NFL history.

39
00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:03.890
He went about 900 Superbowls and we're all blessed and lucky to be alive

40
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.880
watching bill Bellacheck do his thing. So when he says Mack Jones is QB one,

41
00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:12.230
us as patrons fans, we say, yes, Matt Jones is QB one, we're pumped,

42
00:02:12.260 --> 00:02:12.620
we're ready.

43
00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.920
I think he can win multiple roles and maybe become the best quarterback of

44
00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:16.753
patrons.

45
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:20.900
<v 1>Magdalene's better than Tom Brady. That it sounds a little unbelievable.</v>

46
00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:24.560
We'll see with it, but it's just unbelievable. Like our next thing for thing.

47
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.970
Number two, catfish meets fire festival. It meets Friday night lights.

48
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.030
So this week's front pager is absolutely wild.

49
00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:35.210
So you may have heard by now about that big high school football team that

50
00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:39.800
somehow duped ESPN into including them into a national broadcast over the

51
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.000
weekend. Andy,

52
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:45.830
the story is crazy about Bishop Sycamore it's years in the making ESPN is

53
00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:48.770
just the latest to be gone. So here's a quick overview.

54
00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:53.060
So essentially two men convinced a bunch of parents and young athletes to join a

55
00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:56.270
prep academy with the promise of giving these kids an education,

56
00:02:56.570 --> 00:02:58.010
a Netflix series,

57
00:02:58.310 --> 00:03:01.330
and a chance to play at the highest level of high school football in hopes of

58
00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:03.970
making it to the next level. All of that sounds good. Right?

59
00:03:04.090 --> 00:03:07.570
So only the fact that there was never any classes,

60
00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:09.910
a lot of players were in their twenties or thirties.

61
00:03:10.420 --> 00:03:13.600
And the more you dive into this, the more sad and honestly shocking.

62
00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:15.190
This story is Andy.

63
00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:19.330
We already know about the famous stories about fake relationships, girlfriends,

64
00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:22.750
fake universities, and even fake music festivals.

65
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:26.710
I guess we had to add to the fake high school football list,

66
00:03:26.770 --> 00:03:28.480
but honestly in all seriousness,

67
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:31.030
this just feels like the players got duped into this. And honestly,

68
00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:33.060
it's really sad. Yes, exactly.

69
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.980
<v 2>All week long. Like we'd seen stuff on Twitter,</v>

70
00:03:34.980 --> 00:03:39.390
like as the is developed and it's been easy to make jokes about this situation

71
00:03:39.390 --> 00:03:41.730
because you know, everyone jokes about everything on Twitter,

72
00:03:41.820 --> 00:03:45.810
but the root and the base of the story I think is, is sadness. A lot of kids,

73
00:03:46.170 --> 00:03:48.870
uh, besides the 20 and 30 year olds who were involved in it, but there was some,

74
00:03:48.870 --> 00:03:51.840
a lot, a lot of teenage kids who got duped, uh,

75
00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:54.900
during some of the most important years of their athletic lives.

76
00:03:54.990 --> 00:03:56.790
And they'll never get that time back.

77
00:03:56.790 --> 00:04:00.870
And I think the adults who were in charge of this and let this happen. I mean,

78
00:04:00.870 --> 00:04:03.630
if you scan people, uh, it's off you scam kids,

79
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.410
it's just horrific and you should be fired from your job and you should be short

80
00:04:07.410 --> 00:04:10.740
in jail and everyone involved, it should be ashamed. And I still,

81
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:14.580
I have no idea how ESPN could allow themselves to get catheters the way they did

82
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:15.390
for.

83
00:04:15.390 --> 00:04:16.350
<v 1>Thing. Number three,</v>

84
00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:19.260
let's talk about something a little more lighthearted that I'm sure everyone has

85
00:04:19.260 --> 00:04:23.910
a strong opinion about two thumbs up or two thumbs down. So Andy,

86
00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:26.760
the meds are a disaster first. You'd get the owner.

87
00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:28.440
Sub-tweeting his own players.

88
00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:32.610
Now the players are going after the fans with their thumbs.

89
00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:36.720
So in a game earlier this week, prized possession from the trade deadline,

90
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.800
Javier Baez signaled the thumbs down to fans in a reaction to all the booing

91
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.440
he's received since he's joined the team. And after the game,

92
00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:46.980
he said that we're not machines. We're going to struggle seven times out of 10.

93
00:04:47.190 --> 00:04:51.090
It just feels bad. When I strike out and get boots, it doesn't really get to me,

94
00:04:51.090 --> 00:04:53.790
but I want to let them know that when we're successful,

95
00:04:53.790 --> 00:04:57.510
we're going to do the same thing to let them know how it feels. Now, Andy,

96
00:04:57.510 --> 00:04:59.550
because baseball is poetic later this week,

97
00:04:59.550 --> 00:05:01.740
Baez showed up with a game when he walked off,

98
00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:05.190
run against the Marlins and gave a thumbs up to the crowd after the win.

99
00:05:05.730 --> 00:05:09.600
You also apologize for his previous thumbs down, but I have a question.

100
00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:12.960
Do you feel like these athletes should be apologizing for this?

101
00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:14.550
Or do you think that they should be able to have their own voice?

102
00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:17.940
<v 2>If I went to a game and I booed like one of my favorite players or favorite</v>

103
00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:21.120
teams because they did something bad and then they went and did something good

104
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.270
and they booed me. I mean, how could I not spend my seat and laugh?

105
00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:27.660
Like we all need to lighten up. We all spend all day on social media,

106
00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:30.480
biting each other, being offended by everything, getting angry.

107
00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:34.500
These are sports. These are just games. So if you're team booze,

108
00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:38.280
you just sit in your seat and laugh and just relax. Jeez.

109
00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:40.460
<v 1>Speaking of crazy fans, I,</v>

110
00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:45.060
Andy college football is back in full swing this week after the break Dan Wilken

111
00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:48.330
and Paul Meyer Berg bring the coaches at the hottest seats heading into.

112
00:05:48.330 --> 00:05:48.630
<v 3>The season.</v>

113
00:05:48.630 --> 00:05:53.550
[inaudible] welcome.

114
00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:54.270
<v 1>To a new segment.</v>

115
00:05:54.270 --> 00:05:57.860
We like to call rank them where our reporters take on the hottest takes in

116
00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:02.030
sports by over how to power rank them and try to come to some kind of agreement.

117
00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:05.960
So this week we are focusing on college football and who better to have on the

118
00:06:05.990 --> 00:06:10.550
USA today. Sports is very old college gurus. Oh my avert and Dan Wilkins.

119
00:06:10.550 --> 00:06:11.810
So thank you guys so much for joining us.

120
00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:15.470
<v 4>Happy to be here. This.</v>

121
00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:17.300
<v 1>First ranking is going to be for you Dan,</v>

122
00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:19.820
as we know players come and go in college sports,

123
00:06:19.820 --> 00:06:24.770
but coaches can really define a program for a long time. So that being said,

124
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.770
it's not always easy keeping the jobs.

125
00:06:26.770 --> 00:06:29.900
So give me your top five coaching candidates on the hot seat.

126
00:06:31.150 --> 00:06:34.600
<v 2>All right, I'll start with number five. Justin Fuente at Virginia tech. Uh,</v>

127
00:06:34.630 --> 00:06:38.320
this is his sixth year. The fans have been on him. Uh,

128
00:06:38.350 --> 00:06:40.390
they've had some really bad losses,

129
00:06:40.450 --> 00:06:45.220
old dominion Liberty that really sticks in the crawl of a lot of Virginia tech

130
00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:49.060
fans. This is kind of put up or shut up time for Fuente at Virginia tech. And,

131
00:06:49.390 --> 00:06:52.750
uh, he's definitely on the hot seat. Number four,

132
00:06:52.870 --> 00:06:55.870
I got to go with Scott Frost at Nebraska.

133
00:06:55.900 --> 00:06:58.720
It's basically been a disaster 12 and 20.

134
00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:01.330
I knew there was going to be a lot of rebuilding to do,

135
00:07:01.330 --> 00:07:05.590
but when you look at the speed with which he was able to get central Florida on

136
00:07:05.590 --> 00:07:09.190
the right track to now be in year four and Nebraska,

137
00:07:09.190 --> 00:07:12.550
and to not really feel like they've made a ton of progress is a huge

138
00:07:12.550 --> 00:07:15.760
disappointment. I think there's a lot of pressure they need to win.

139
00:07:15.760 --> 00:07:19.690
And they've got a very tough schedule. Number three, Jim Harbaugh,

140
00:07:21.190 --> 00:07:24.460
totally new look staff there in Michigan this year. Uh,

141
00:07:24.490 --> 00:07:28.620
just a general feeling that the program had kind of been stuck in a malaise. Uh,

142
00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:31.900
they've not really recruited particularly well. Uh,

143
00:07:31.930 --> 00:07:36.190
they have not been Ohio state. Oh, and six against the Buckeyes. Uh,

144
00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:39.340
it's just ever since they got really close to making the playoff a few years

145
00:07:39.340 --> 00:07:43.720
back, it's been a backward slide. Number two,

146
00:07:44.050 --> 00:07:48.460
clay Helton, USC. You can pretty much put him on this list every single year.

147
00:07:48.850 --> 00:07:52.090
Uh, just 18 and 13. The last three seasons. Uh,

148
00:07:52.150 --> 00:07:56.000
his contract was so massive that it really prevented USC from,

149
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.240
from doing anything with him.

150
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.020
But now you're getting to the point where it's more manageable for USC to make a

151
00:08:02.020 --> 00:08:05.440
change. Uh, they just have not played up to the UFC standard.

152
00:08:05.830 --> 00:08:09.550
And if that continues, they are going to make a change after the season.

153
00:08:10.330 --> 00:08:14.830
And number one at oars Yuron at LSU or you're on won a national title two years

154
00:08:14.830 --> 00:08:17.290
ago. How much Goodwill does that by you?

155
00:08:17.320 --> 00:08:20.020
Not a lot in this environment in college football,

156
00:08:20.020 --> 00:08:24.670
especially at a place like LSU, he has been on the gene Chizik path.

157
00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:28.990
I would say ever since winning that national championship last year was not good

158
00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:33.190
if they continue to backslide and it looks like they're kind of getting stuck

159
00:08:33.190 --> 00:08:37.660
behind, not just Alabama, but a and M if they fall behind all miss,

160
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:43.050
uh, they're not going to wait too long at LSU to try to write that. Yeah.

161
00:08:43.060 --> 00:08:45.250
<v 5>It's a good list. I'm glad you included horse-drawn dad.</v>

162
00:08:45.250 --> 00:08:46.810
Wasn't sure if he was going to make the cut. I mean,

163
00:08:46.810 --> 00:08:50.110
there's also a lot of off-field stuff that he's dealing with. Um,

164
00:08:50.530 --> 00:08:53.470
you have the gene shows in comparison. I don't, I'm not sure how apt it is.

165
00:08:53.470 --> 00:08:57.000
Cause the bottom really dropped out or he in his second year after the national

166
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.930
title, I don't know if LSU is going to go three and nine. Um, but yeah,

167
00:09:00.930 --> 00:09:04.290
I don't know if we're Sean has carried like the Goodwill and even less miles did

168
00:09:04.290 --> 00:09:06.870
also evolve with that oh seven season and then going back in 11.

169
00:09:06.990 --> 00:09:10.110
So I think he's in trouble. So good list. They're done. All right.

170
00:09:10.280 --> 00:09:12.050
<v 1>All this next drinking is going to be for you.</v>

171
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.020
So it's time to pull out our calendars circle some important dates.

172
00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:18.800
I want you to basically give me the top five games of the season that will

173
00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.540
basically determine the college football.

174
00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:24.920
<v 5>Yeah, I got number five as Oregon at Ohio state.</v>

175
00:09:25.070 --> 00:09:27.260
And it's a big game for the Buckeyes,

176
00:09:27.260 --> 00:09:30.200
obviously because every team doesn't have a huge amount of wiggle room,

177
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.060
especially when you play nine conference games,

178
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.510
but it's a huge game for the PAC 12. Um, number four,

179
00:09:35.630 --> 00:09:40.070
Georgia and Clemson in Charlotte. Um, the winner should be number one.

180
00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:41.510
This is the week one game. Um,

181
00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:44.660
just based off the fact that no one else will have had a win of that quality.

182
00:09:45.350 --> 00:09:45.770
Um,

183
00:09:45.770 --> 00:09:50.360
a lot of like runway left for both of those teams to get into the playoff with a

184
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.160
loss, but still obviously a win.

185
00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:55.190
There is a huge feather in the cap and it does get to be more wiggle room than

186
00:09:55.190 --> 00:09:57.110
any other team in the country. Uh,

187
00:09:57.170 --> 00:10:00.950
number three is Ohio state and Penn state like Dan said, and I agreed Penn,
