Welcome to the latest episode of the Shamrock.

I'm Pete Sampson,

joined as always by my co-hosts, Matt Fortuna in Chicago.

And today, a special guest of return guest,

although definitely in a different position in college football

than the last time he was on the show,

no longer in South Bend in Nashville

and his head coach's office.

Clark Lee,

Clark, I guess,

thanks for taking some time for us on a kind of ridiculous week

in the college football calendar.

But it's been, I got to think, like a very uplifting season for you guys down there.

You know, I was down there for your first game and to sort of see where that program has come from a distance with wins over Kentucky and Florida.

I would imagine you have to feel

kind of heartened that a very big program rebuild is, kind of has some foundation being laid.

Yeah, we're, you know, we're taking ground. I mean, you know, it's, it's never going to happen as

fast as you

wanted to and um we we understand that we can't skip steps here either so we have to be deliberate

and intentional um but pleased with the progress understand that there's obviously a lot more

to to um to shoot for to aim for to achieve and you know me right now, obviously we're dealing with finishing up with recruiting.

It used to be you in the season.
