That's Pat Fitzgerald.

We're taking your calls on it. We can get back into Lions' conversation at 5. It's just simple. Where do you land on it? You know, I'm in a wait and see. I'm not against it. I'm not for it. In today's world, you could hire Archie Bunker. It's about NIL and it truly is about the staffing. Yes, the coach matters.

I'm not being flipping.

But you could hire Vince Lombardi and if he doesn't have the right NIL and the ability to put together an elite staff, you're dead.

Yeah.

I mean, he came out.

I mean, Fitzgerald said today with the resources we expect to be provided to us, we plan to compete at the highest level.

Cool. Then they better deliver the way that they didn't deliver for Jonathan Smith.

Correct. I mean, because looking at next year's schedule, yeah, seven wins, eight wins is not

asking for too much. And before you yell at Rico, go look at the schedule. They could dump

their four toughest games and still end up easily seven and five. That's giving you a free loss to. Now, if you think that's, oh, how can you expect that? Guys, because it's the NFL now. This is government cheese NFL football. That's what college is. You buy your way to success. Sign Texas Tech. Go to Zach 971.

Zach, how you doing, boss?

Good, man. How are you? Good. What's up? All right. Love the hire. As long as we get

assistance, but the way I see it, how are you going to invest a billion dollars into stadium

renovations and not expect anyone to go there

if you're not going to invest in your roster to watch people play?

Agreed.

That's why it would be a good assumption that they're getting serious.

Correct.

And with that seriousness, I think they can compete.

I know the Big Ten is one of the two probably best conferences in the country, but I think

they're fully, you know, with, it seems like for the first time in years, everybody's a line.
