00:00This Villanova Kevin Willard stuff's been going on for weeks. I find out weeks as he's going down the stretch of
00:07The most important season Maryland's had also lost in all of this. It's the best season Willard's ever had no Villanova. Good luck
00:16Good luck. The students made one sweet 16 in 20 years. Oh, but but but but where's he been coaching? Shut up
00:23You know that you could win wherever you go
00:25You know that there are winners at McNeese States, and you know what VCU has done for goddamn 30 years
00:31It's just fine winning coaches. They just fine winning coaches. Oh, but Kevin Willard needs his goddamn handheld everywhere he goes
00:38please
00:40I'm not mad at Kevin Willard. Okay, this is it's a dirty game and he's playing it and he played it
00:46Well, and he's gonna get a lot of money. God bless him. This is America
00:50The goal is to get all the money that is truly the goal
00:55Like that. I want to raise my family to do so. I want to make more money, right? Like I that's
01:00Like we could be honest in what is real. Okay, all Kevin Willard did is use the system to the best of his ability
01:09Damn, there's a better way to do it. Definitely. There's a better way to do it
01:14you
01:15you weasel
01:17Just straight up weasel. This has been going on for weeks. I found out yesterday
01:23Weeks probably a month. What month is it March?
01:27February dog. Yeah
01:30You're taking away kids
01:32Dude, and you know what? Let's be honest about that because we phrase these things in these Pollyannish terms
01:39Oh, you're taking away for their mercenaries dog. They're young, but they're mercenaries like Jacoby Gillespie gonna go to Tennessee. God bless him
01:46I hope you get two and a half million dollars man, like
01:48There I think
01:50Hoffman I I was listening to Hoffman yesterday as I was driving home from College Park and
01:57I disagreed with a lot of what he was saying
01:59But one thing I did agree with him on this Kevin Willard thing hits me as an alum and hits people that are fans
02:06Kids probably care the least because they're all going somewhere else too
02:10Like Derek Queen's going to the pros Gillespie's going to Tennessee. Maybe Rodney Rice stays because he's from here
02:15I
02:17wish nothing but the best for the kids, but like
02:20The kids are probably talking that they all have agents where they're going next and how much money they're going to get
02:26so the joke is on us, honestly, but the and in the
02:34Absolutely
02:35rudderless ship that is the leadership of the University of Maryland should not be let off the hook for this because
02:42You're a goddamn joke out there in College Park, okay, if anybody
02:49Yo, please yo
02:52Send an email to the president of the University of Maryland Jeff do it right now invite them on the show
02:56I think I believe his name is Pines president Pines open invitation. I'd be happy to discuss things with you
03:02I will be cordial because right now you look like a joke, sir
03:07Like you're just letting this go down
03:10You just I believe the word is feckless
03:13Like eat a blue chew stand up for yourself, man
03:16Like somebody over there have some composure have some some guts
03:23Have some freaking guts
03:25They're all
03:27Spineless and I know people that work in the athletic department. I know professors over there
03:32I know there are people that care that would stand up
03:35But the leadership is just a limp flag
03:38Waiting for the breeze to blow and they'll just change any goddamn direction it blows
03:46What are we doing none of them no one is innocent in any of this
03:51But the one dude who forced it super public the one dude who made it all such a goddamn
03:58Spectacle is Kevin Willard
04:00You did it dude, don't blame anybody else yo the ad left fine bleep him he left
04:07This ain't on him
04:09It's sitting on the kids. This isn't on leadership
04:13They may have messed up the negotiations
04:16But you chose to take all that public you chose for all that to be public and that's a hundred percent on you
04:23Oh, I didn't talk to my wife. I didn't talk to my agent. You're lying. You are lying
04:28Lying you are lying
04:32Stop lying. Stop making this a spectacle
04:37You the one thing you said Toby, you know, it's unfair to the kids
04:41The kids are lining up their next job
04:44They're paid hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to do this, right?
04:48Like at some point you stop being kids and you're professionals
04:52We're all living in this fantasy land of amateur sports. This bleep ain't amateur anymore
04:58If it ever was it sure as hell isn't now, okay?
05:02So we have to like modernize our brains to some of this
