See the play that was about to get blown up.

But if you try to call it off or make an audible, you were ridiculed.

Now let me say this.

I don't think good players in college, good, I don't think most humans worth their salt.

And I'm speaking for men.

If you are an aspirational, ambitious person at whatever you're doing, specifically football, mind getting coached hard.

There are viral videos every single year from the University of Georgia with Kirby Smart on the loudspeaker.

They're practice fields.

I've never been there, but are clearly on campus, and there's black tarp on the fence so you can't see in, but they're practicing right behind the student.

Students walk by, and you can hear Kirby just going nuts.

MFN players, MFN coaches, Signetti, Saban was legendary for these moments in practice.

If you YouTube, there's a great one.

Is it Eddie Jackson?

He is just writing.

Eddie Jackson played in the league and made a bunch of money.

That's the culture of football.

So no one is afraid or no one is unaccustomed to getting yelled at or even uncomfortable with that.

The problem is, let's use Kirby Smart for an example.

Because Bill's big thing was, and maybe he convinced me a little bit, college football is a lot like the NFL now.

It's just full of transactions and paying players.
