I may been great about belt while doing fantastic so only got to the state of the Auburn football program. It seems like Brian Hartson is a dead man walking.

There's been a lot of conversation this week about his job status if they lose the LSU do you think that can be a form after this weekend, the volatility that there stuff to really get an idea on what to because although there's a lack of leadership.

Right now you have an interim athletic director that most likely not to be named the permanent athletic director, resident been there for just a couple of months so who's actually in charge of actually pulling the strings who could actually make that kind of decision does that person want to do that with out leadership in other places so I would rule anything out back to get people think it's possible I will tell you this talk to somebody is close to the situation as you could get and yet not been informed that he will not be retained at the end of the season meatless and Auburn got, you know that we have a lot of dysfunction and we operate a lot of dysfunctional ways. At times, but not to that level and not to that extent among the there's a there's really a college football program in America would operate that way regardless of how much you want to keep her want to get rid of the money thing and I know you're referencing that aging McCarran report that that was out there fire the guy at the end of the year.

It's like why would you then just not fire.

Now you have to pay them.

Regardless, either way would make no sense if they Artie told the neighbor to fire you, but you're still coaching the team you really think will be legally behind the scenes trying to find someone else or whatever that might have wanted to get a head start on it obviously knew that would give the clarity to be able to go and haven't you noticed like I do Zach how this works you talk back to look that are involved with agent friends and people who talk to other people know former people that they worked with.

You can get your message across. You can you can feel people out you make like that if you want to put your thoughts whenever they do get rid of Brian Hartson when you think the likelihood is that Deion Sanders is coaching Auburn next year that there's there's really no way to tell because I don't really know exactly what Dion looking for his next move in the Auburn job comes a complication I hate to say that alma mater want to win every game all of Auburn but let's be real. We see how things have been handled and not always aboveboard my father having the conversation about Rhinehart's right now. It's not really a fair will bill the fitting head football coach 31 last time I checked, so another thing that just make this completely ridiculous tractable job. Absolutely I think the first thing that I would bring up to you is that history would be required to go in FL we could go championships as you see national title in 2010 play port in 2013 was on the brink of getting to a possible 12 and 17 they been in the Mexican they show that they can get there quickly even when things are bad you passionate fan base get a beautiful campus and look at the success in other sports what's happening with chameleon gymnastics. What referral do with basketball. The baseball team. The cultural theory to support all around it and Auburn fans are on our loyal opinion college athletics but the main thing that I would point to you is that the folks that are behind the Nile collective of this affiliated with Auburn University right now have things heading in the right direction.

And if Brian Hartson were to be let go and win a new head coach would be hired in there would be a warchest and placed the PO to utilize try to attract talent, not the head coach in college football that can be one of the top things on their priority list for any job 30 miles on was about football coach. They have to get someone that create some excitement because when Brian Hartson was higher. Nothing against them. I think they really upgrade that their head coaching position know that was when we brought in by the football got and we hear so much just about what what is wanted. What is needed and I think what you brought up Zach is more than relevant in today's college football meeting today college athletics in general across the board… Matt, Luke and his staff are doing a pretty good job at Ole Miss. A lot of the guys at plaintiff and one with initially they have brought in expectation, back from a pretty dark place and all of a sudden he got Harley Giffin gathered some people if you really dug in the program. Look at you didn't necessarily need a look at the profile has been raised because exactly what you just mentioned excitement was brought in go across that date and look at Starkville, Mississippi warhead would run nothing in the ground still competitive football team got a couple quarterbacks hurt. Maybe didn't live up to expectation to go get a bike lead. Someone who everybody knows someone who everybody likes you can generate noise because of his personality who is in development and guess what Mississippi statement. Excitement goes through the roof so I did not like to look at it that way but reality has sort of hit me in the face that that's just a real part of where we are, whether it's getting people in the seats whether it is generating more like an retweet for recruits on social media as dumb as that may sound to some people but the real part of where we are today and that excitement that knowing I'm in meeting every Friday with college coaches paper game one of the things continues to be brought up opening negative or positive way is player brand and they want to highlight their brand want to increase their brand improve their client well when you get a coach to bring more tension when you coach that brings more of the following will do the player Brian is obviously can increase it to make it more high profile so there that the think about this until now called cubelike and I know he's at Ole Miss.

He's not happy that his fans on so not to start games. Can Auburn go get Lane to inside the SEC with almost any 80% of college football programs look to have plaintiff and cannot understand.

Is there something in the background either with how certain jobs ended or know what he has been personally wrong way to complete 180 on online And off the field. I think you grown up a lot of the constrained lot of the glycol become a better person and a better football coach Joe lucky to have them. I think you probably do whatever they can to try to retain and I think if anybody else could get in but be thrilled Kentucky Ole Miss this weekend. Would you like this one because I feel this is a 6 1/2 point favorite thing Vegas is begging a plus the points with Kentucky. If you like it strange how many people are so confident in Kentucky that I talk to about this game I'm right Ole Miss relate to phenomena go with Blaine on this one. I love the run game love it.

They're doing with their run gave the creativity that they bring with it. It is unique and diverse as any rushing attack right now in college football. I don't think they're capable of quarterback as they have been, but I think Jackson dark do not help that went still high weapons on the perimeter like mango and tided with tray that Gavin is not banged up like a freshman tailback. They can select get it done.

The wind playing to ball the defenses improved and I think this applies to both teams. There are warts on both of the themes that were to find out about tomorrow morning. They Kentucky has a capital issue. The office of I'm not in the past, they still have a little bit of an issue with giving the ball back to their opponent, and defensively.

I think that there are some areas that are not necessarily what they been before. Think the linebackers are strong secondary strong deep if the client still coming around so little methane thing we really know exactly what that defense is also the only one to try that they haven't played a great strength of record for the think of 102 and 122. We don't know a ton about what both of these teams are being at home. Being that I think Ole Miss is going to score but just about anybody that they play again and be in the battlements rushing the Kentucky rushing attack is 13th in the SEC right now doing team averages fewer yards per game is Mississippi State and their bodyguard below the tided brought Bowers exhorted him to be covered tomorrow night has many rushing touchdowns of hockey does that last yards per carry. Dead last in rushing touchdown. That's not a prototypical marks to coach football team and I think Ole Miss will be able to take advantage of it called cubelike. So Michigan has played no one this year they get Iowa so we know it's a big test for the Michigan offense going up against a great I would defense. I just don't see how Iowa scores enough points in this game the Navy that the defense can start center to that's different story. I like Michigan, but how close it again. You think this is as missing goes, Iowa replied because of you getting games like this where you talk a lot about turnover. Both teams have the ability to take it away is knocking to be a lot of explosive place through the air. I think things calm down.

I think God's will follow back on the rock into their playcalling settle in a little bit earlier before they even take any risk to take many risks the game so low-scoring obviously games could be pretty quick and major possession to be extremely valuable, so I would imagine neither offense of coordinator wants to take high risk with what they're doing. They have the ball get that done.

Lovely Cornwell that often wanted to report last year. The final patient for they were then think they have to worry not, mainly because of injury and artwork juggling the quarterbacks you know you have your God now, I don't think the defense is on par for what it was last year, regardless of what Coach Harbaugh says and I agree with you.

There's a lot that we don't know about Michigan but what we do know about Iowa is that they have a hard time with the football hard time finding points regardless of who the opponent is Michigan can squeak out a few more the top if you're if you're the history you like numbers and trends in analytics. It all points to Iowa. They've been great against rate teams a pretty great against five gyms at their place in the last decade.

While what they have done in the last 5 to 10 years against top five teams in top 25 team so if you go back and look at that and that's how you like to decide who wins games are going to go Iowa but I still think you Bob on the screen, find a way to get it done. I really like Sam Pittman last week.they went up 14 nothing was really discouraged by the effort against A&M.

Is this a Bama blowout and they go up against Arkansas. I do not believe it is. I think this is one that a lot of those folk to save you for a long time.

I think they understand what this game means what he thinks about and how could you not be deflated when you have an opportunity to slam the door on what your rivals put the game away.

And on first down your quarterback extends the football you are staring down the barrel of a 14 point swing instead of putting 7-Up for you. Put 7-Up for your the opposition and there really is not able to find their way from that point on. But when I go watch the film of that game. The Arkansas offense did not look like it was missing much of the vehemently still operated at a very high level. They outgained A&M out rushed A&M out past A&M is still going still eternal verse. Next thing you know Texas A&M hang around and find a way to squeeze out a victory.

I know this. They will be a problem for Bryce Young upfront. This is not a great Alabama authentic line yet could develop into it, but they're not there just yet. There's a reason the true freshman Tyler bookers get wrapped and they want to try to get him to the Blahnik for the season. This team leads the country in fact speaking of Arkansas through Sanders type of the nations lead in fact I like there to be active upfront in the fourth Bryce Young to move around a little bit Alabama flat out not as dynamic as they have been the wide receiver position there.

Still, trying to figure that out.

I think your kids tailback.

The most dynamic player profitably outside of their corporate Bryce Young so physically. Arkansas is not going to get bullied by Alabama not been a problem for them to pass a physically match up all you can change things around him around Coldplay's as well as anybody in college football. He has a mobile quarterback who can also hurt you.

Between the tackles.

He has a physical bowling ball of the tailback that he can roll in and then a dynamic tailback and rocket Sanders that he can alternate liquor good enough outside with Hazelwood Oklahoma transfer Matt Landers. The Georgia Tulsa transfer you ever get to that point start to change the guys are playing for before they are now.

I think they found their way often think they understand probably don't miss the edge to finger stretch they waste them but find some of the holding that defense does not extremely deep luster about tempo from Arkansas to shut aware that Bama deepens down.

I think they had again.

I think they keep the think pipe at home is all about timing and NC State and Clemson constants, not the bad defense of performance. I just kind of feel like there to bounce back defensively and then all offensively.

Finally, did you underlay something like the DJ from two years ago. It's amazing how it it just felt like for a year and 1/2. All we got were quick screens, quick throws check downs to the back and now all the sudden, somehow, somewhere, some way.

The daily underlay has found the ability to push the ball down the field and be successful with me.

It is a totally different player in the last for 5/4 and football than what we had seen the previous probably 50 5/4 football so I do think that that's going to make them more difficult to defend. But I think if the state can take advantage of an offense of one is also not great. The difference will be interesting.happy guys down feel like Wake Forest is a think at wide receiver course vastly underrated, then obviously the way that same apartment managers at all think that sort of walk walk the dogs own read slow developing offense can freezer linebackers of God like Truman Simpson are to have to have a big game not get sucked down like they did last week and I think the have a chance to be more effective mobility state has the athleticism to speed the twit down the field to be as problematic for that Clemson secondary attic that Clemson defensive line probably has their way and that gives Clemson the W dispenser Sanders the differences you have a husband moment when Oklahoma State goes up against Baylor and left like that. Bama wrote a goal in which you obviously would you know last year that Oklahoma State defense like that out there will be different this year.

Maybe not as good as the season ago and Baylor know that they're not as dynamic defensively so that's for Spencer since the playmaker second third level made where he does have a big game, but I think the coach Grimes and that they were off and have a chance to get going. They run the stress play as well as anybody want that think it's Roland in the play action opens up and you're able to take a credit down feel this really instigator. Glad you got that one up because not a lot of talking about it and I think the two teams, likely mention with Kentucky and Ole Miss. We still need to find a few things out about me. Baylor you could essentially say outplay BYU a couple weeks ago but couldn't come up with the wind and receive you while you struggle with Utah state last night so they were about back.back in the big picture things because I think after the first three Georgia Bama Ohio State were also the search for that next group teams are make you likely know that Mr. Clinton to their or not certain Kentucky Ole Miss might feel like we like one of those two teams were not certain this a chance to one of two teams to maybe get right back in the mix should be discussed with those themes in tier 2, yet it's only right now that 14 would be for the college football playoff cult. You look over the I would tell you that there's a lot of uncertainty in my answer but I was going to go ahead and go Michigan because I understand they haven't played anybody but they have also been more dominant than almost college football today have played therefore I am teams in to the Council plant this year who, that's a great question to say I doubt it because I think the two teams that would get him to become different divisions in the Big Ten title game and I just don't know if individually don't have enough clout like Jordan Alabama did last year entering that game and it feels like there's all this can be other teams that are vitally important to get as well.

That gave not to be able to find a way and so so let's just say that only one gets in its Ohio State, it's George Alabama.

Those are the three teams and much as Ohio State beat Michigan this year than then who would be your 14 just wondering, probably Clemson based on based on what I'm saying DJ right now. Dominant defensive line that almost everything a lot a great office, play cards or else let you know that so not in the ACC Echlin for the line to be a difference maker. Did anybody. They play they are going to be a flat out problem. Any team in college football.

So not only they could be in every game I can give them a chance to win every game and if this is real what we saw last week gets Wake Forest a sustainable also that Clemson offense is not only different.

There dynamic we can get it done on the ground so now you have a quarterback with decent mobility that you can utilize a running back.

They can get it done all the blind it's okay not a liability but not dominant. You can push the ball down the field for people to defend you in a very different way and are piling Clemson right there at that point to be the other team to get great conversation called you but always enjoy your insight. Thanks so much appreciate the time you throw a more edgy real quick Southern California ahead of schedule. That's all you say I didn't believe in coming into this year about 38 or nine when football team where I thought they were going to be and where they are right now.

I think they would get out of September unscathed because the physical nature that schedule.

They pulled it off and they did it so that sort of the sleeper pick to keep your eye on the causal bulk oil and last week I thought was impressive, even though it was a sloppy game because they found a different way to win.

And I thought that will end up helping them out later on during the year to choose after such a smart football fan. Great teams find different ways to win one thing well when somebody somewhere will find a way to take it away. You better have an alternate way to get it done in USA show they get punched in the face and still find a way to go with an ugly football.

Here's the bottom line and this is another cliché. Good teams find a way to win when they don't play their best.
