All right, we'll get to the people. David, do we have an ETA on audio? I know Paul's busting his ass to chop it up. We'll get it to you, Pat Fitzgerald, new head coach. What do you make of it guys? And you can go anywhere you want with it. If you hate it, you hate it. I'm not here to tell you otherwise. If you love it, I'm not going to bleep in the punch bowl. I'm going to be measured the way I was with Jonathan Smith because it's a complicated

job and it's a complicated time.

I don't think any hero was going to descend from the clouds like a Marvel universe and be

this grand slam, no doubt, can't lose hire.

That's just not, Mark D'Antonio wasn't that.

Nobody even liked the hiring of Mark D'Antantonio, a guy who was 17 and 16 at Cincey. He's the greatest coach in the history of the

school. If you want Duffy Doherty, you can have him. The point I'm making is there's no methodology.

It's the same as drafting a quarterback number one overall.

Sometimes you get Peyton Manning.

Sometimes you get you Marcus Russell.

It just happens.

You know what?

Yep.

That's it.

Sponsored by a purple drank.

That's right.

But ultimately, this is going to be about whether the university is ready to be serious. Because without that, no coach can succeed. Not today. Right there. Not in this world. No, no, right there. That's why when everybody keeps the world, what do you think? What do you think? How much money is he getting? What kind of team is he going to build? If you're telling me you're giving him, you know, dollar tree money, then no. If you've got 15 mil above the rev share to where you can build a $30 to $35 million roster, you can compete to go to the playoffs. Yes. Texas spent 40. Ohio State spent about 40. I don't expect MSU to be there. But my point is you have to spend. If you want

to claim you're a top 10 athletic department, you got to spend like it. That's where Fitzgerald,

he will engage donors. And 30 means you better have some pretty good player development. And you

know what? I kind of like this guy. Diamond in a rough. Let's go get him. You want to hear a

fundraising pitch from Jonathan Smith?

Yeah. Diamond in a rough. Let's go get him. You want to hear a fundraising pitch from Jonathan Smith? To the people, shall we?
