| 0:00.0 | The best play callers in college football right now. |
| 0:05.0 | Man, I mean, again, there's so many names that I could bring up here. |
| 0:09.0 | The person that gets stolen from the most by a mile is... |
| 0:15.0 | Playcalling is one of the most important elements that we have in the beautiful sport of football. |
| 0:19.0 | And today, with the special guests, we are going to give you the top five offensive play callers in all of college football. They could be the head coach. They could be the O.C. They may be somebody cool you've never even heard about yet, but we have the top five. David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback, Blaine Crane, former Western State Colorado wide receiver. |
| 0:38.3 | And our guest today, the first time we've ever had him, come on. |
| 0:41.0 | If you look, if you're a football junkie and you haven't read trends in offensive football |
| 0:47.0 | by coach Dan Casey, who joins us now, you need to read it, the Play Callers Club, Dan Casey. |
| 0:52.7 | What's up, sir? |
| 0:53.9 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. |
| 0:55.4 | Man, can't beat that intro. I appreciate that for sure. |
| 0:58.4 | Definitely. Well, look, before we get into the list, and we're going to go five to one, I know you have a list. We're going to get yours kind of talk about it. what in your opinion makes just give me a couple things or maybe there's one |
| 1:10.2 | overriding factor that makes |
| 1:12.4 | an incredible play caller or a dangerous play caller, because I know what I would choose. |
| 1:17.4 | Yeah, I mean, I think it comes down to sequencing. I mean, everybody's running a lot of the same |

| 1:29.7 | have a feel for calling it in the game, there's an intuition, I think, with play callers. |
| 1:35.8 | And I've always said that there's two kinds of play callers. There's classical musicians and |
| 1:40.7 | there's jazz musicians. And there's some guys that are really tied into their call sheet and treat it very much like reading sheet music and then there's other guys that they just |
| 1:48.6 | they know the offense so well that they can really riff in real time and so i think there's two |
| 1:53.4 | different styles but uh both can be effective it's just about finding the right fit for your team and |
| 1:57.9 | your personnel it's it's almost like the oppenheimer movie right yeah some Yeah. Some people can do the math, but can you hear the music? Can you hear the music? And to the point of a lot of the classical guys, and again, I've got no qualms with that, I would rather, as a defensive guy, go against a classical guy.
