We're going to do another one of these when Deuce Deuce joins the show. So, Coach, here we go. Q&A time. I always love when we get to say the handles for these people. West, True Blood, 8178. I've never seen anyone get the benefit of the doubt more than Arch Manning. He hasn't played nearly well enough to again be the favorite to win the Heisman. I feel for the kid because folks are putting a lot of pressure on him. Maybe this will be the year to win it all. Yeah, Arch, because of that last name, because of the hype, because of his arm, because of his skill set in high school, has brought a lot of attention to him. You feel like he's better set up for success this upcoming season in Austin compared to what he's been the last few years there? I do, but I actually coached the guy that had more pressure on him than Archman.

His name was Tim Tebow. And he won the Heisman trophy as a sophomore. As a freshman was a backup, but played a bunch in a national. title, sophomore one Heisman, junior year, won the national championship. And he was the golden child, and his senior year was unbelievable, unmerciful, the amount of press and at times negative press. If he didn't have a great game, he'll never make it in the NFL, et cetera, et cetera. So I've seen it.

You've got to really manage it as a coach. And, you know, tough day in the city for Arch Manning. That's your last name is Manning. You're at Texas, and you have to play well. I actually thought he played pretty well down the stretch. I'm a fan of his. And I said that to you last year, Rob, when we're sitting there getting ready to broadcast the Ohio State, Texas game, and people are saying, well, every GM, that potentially is the first pick.

And I was like, whoa, first pick where in the NFL draft? Because I went back and watched every snapped year before. He was good. He's going to be fine. He's right on schedule. He's going to have a great you watch. He'll have a great year this year. Will he have an archmanning or Peyton Manning type year?

I don't know that. but he's, they've handled him well, Sarked down there. I think he's going to have a hell of a year. He's going to be a Heisman favorite. But that's the beauty of the college, what do you want to criticize fans of being all over and anxious about ours? No, no, this is great. It comes with the business.

This is the beauty of college football. We're excited to see him. I want to cheer the young man on, whether you like Texas or not. It's hard to dislike our training. Let's hold that thought for a second. So I remember when like people were all over Ohio State when they lost to the Wolverines.

And I was, you know, take a break, fans. I was like, no, don't take a break. You know, there's a reason why these programs and college football has never been more popular. Keep it up. That's the beauty of the sport. I think Arch and Sark have handled this with such grace, right? Being a backup. And when he's asked to do spot duty, he comes in and he does it.

When he's asked for a spot start, he took care of it. When he was handed the starting reins, he handled it with just this professionalism, with this maturity. The one thing, and I've said it before, I'd like to hear more from him. Like, open up the doors. Let Arch- That might be him, too. That might be him. And if I was the coach, I would not force him to do anything. That's-

No, no, I'm not saying force. I'm just saying, if you would like it, here it is. Here it is for you. Because, by the way, we know what his uncles are pretty good spokesman. All right. JPD-9C says, as a Notre Dame fan, I'm super disappointed in not playing USC. it is a disgrace.

We all miss that rivalry, right? That's a no-brainer. Those two programs should have found a way to figure it out. Both of them will say it's not our fault because, right? In the end, though, college football loses. Notre Dame fans lose, USC fans lose because that one has been pulled away from us. Where does that rivalry rank big picture for you coached? I've coached in so many great ones, and I've coached in that one five or six times.

And I think it was six times. And it's an incredible rivalry. It's not as intense as the Ohio State Wolverine robbery. It's not as intense as the Florida, Georgia, because those are right there in your backyard. This is a cross-country rivalry, but it's a legit one, and I'm heartbroken. I feel your pain.

Here's what I'm hearing, though, because schedule strength should matter, but it doesn't. Notre Dame is, there's teams that won't play Notre Dame anymore. So who got out of that one? I'm not sure who did. Once again, that's up to Notre Dame and USC, to, you know, release what they want to release. But if I'm USC, why am I playing that game other than it's a great robbery?

I used to ask that question when I was the head coach of Florida. Why am I playing a top five Florida State every year? Explain that to me, athletic. You know, explain that, Jeremy Foley, the AD. And of course, I loved it. But at times you're like, wait a minute, we're playing Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, and all this, just for when they're playing, you know, a 1-A school, let's play Florida State, you know, and that's keeping us maybe out of a national championship game.

So I feel you fans and let your voice be heard. Notre Dame should play USC. Agreed. TV networks agree. Fans agree. College football agrees. The head coaches, the schedule makers, maybe not so much. All right. Richard Fryer, 6594 says, would love to hear Coach Myers top 10 golf courses in America. All right. So I'll tell you, I'll make it easy for you, Coach. Let's narrow it down. Give me your top three to five golf courses in America. Well, one, not even close is Augusta National. I think everybody knew that.

I would always tell people, if someone said, you only got seven days left, I'm spending five with my family and two in Augusta, because that's how much I love that place. I grew up watching it with my father. So Augusta, I got Wade Hampton up in the cashiers, North Carolina. It's a mountain course that's spectacular. I got Southern Highland in Las Vegas is one of my favorites. I got National in Long Island, and I got Cyprus and Pebble and Monterey. They all count as one to me because they're right there in Carmel. Okay. I'm going to give you 20.

Can I keep going here? Gator Creek, what's that? What was a tough one to keep off? Inverness. Pinehurst? Pinehurst. Pinehurst beat me up. Pine Valley and Pinters beat the hell out of me, so I don't.

I like to score a little bit. I like to Oakmont beat to live in hell out of me too. So there's so many great course. That's one of my favorite things to do, obviously. All right. Cal J8J says, does the NCAA really have any real legal authority over how long a player can play or how many times he can transfer?

Is this antitrust stuff? Not that the rules of law matters much anymore in this. Yeah, I'd be. become pretty well versed in this. I am not an expert, so I'm not given too much information here, but do they have the power to enforce it? And I'm worried about that. And that's the whole purpose of antitrust exemption. If they get antitrust exemptions, then yes, they can afford. This is the rules, and we're going to enforce it. And right now you're seeing that there's a lot of state laws that are so different from state to state that they can find a friendly judge and get it

overruled. So that's the mess right now. That's got to get fixed. Too many lawyers. Too much suing. Kind of annoying, isn't it? Here's a great name. Dad perfect. That's you, right? That's you. Humble. Dad perfect. That's Ingram. I did not write this question. My friend might be do's dues-dews. Is there more pressure to be a dad or a dad? to win a national championship. Ouch. Yeah, you got to really dig deep on that one. Not really, being the dad.

Are you kidding me? That one doesn't go away. And one of the great gifts that God gives you to be a father. So that's the one. Eric 7H. This is a good question. I like this one. Make the Rose Bowl the national championship.

Agree or disagree? I'm in. That will never happen because you've got to spread the wealth, but I'm a coached my final game at Ohio State and a Rose Bowl. Ironically, we've been there one time. All the bowl games we coached in, it was just the one time. But I just think that I'm such a history guy and that's so good for our sport, but that'll never happen, but I love it.

The backdrop, right? The suns setting, the west coast. Parking's awful, though, I hear. I had so many people ditch about that. You've never had to. park at the Rose Bowl, have you? You're always in a bus. With police sirens going like this. You've got cops. Yeah. If you're regular Joe Blow.

I have people tell me they had a walk an hour to get to the, I mean, a lot of people. Oh, yeah. It's brutal. Getting in, getting out. And you have to bail early if you have any type of life. Yeah, it can be tough. But boy, once you're in there, it's fantastic. And on the eyeballs on TV, Chef Kiss, man. That was the fresh take. in the week presented by Wendy's.

Coming up next, coach, we're going to transition to the hardwood little March Madness talk with Florida men's basketball head coach, the head coach of the defending national champion Florida Gators. Todd Golden joins us next on the Triple Option, presented by Wendy's. Welcome back to the Triple Option Rob Stone, Urban Meyer. Time to talk March Madness with the head.

coach of the defending men's national championship team from the University of Florida. We take the show down to Gainesville, Florida, and bring in SCC coach of the year. Todd Golden, Urban is beaming right now because we get to talk a little more Gators over here. It's great to be here with you guys. Always a pleasure. And coach, it's great to see you, as always, my friend. Yeah, great to see you. So I looked on the map and did some travel.

You can't even get from San Francisco to Gainesville. You have a great, your first head coaching job, you win, and I'm sure, I never asked you this, but I'm sure you had plenty opportunities. Why Florida? Why Gainesville? Well, you know, it happened fast. And after our third year at San Francisco, we were able to make the NCAA tournament, which had not happened in about 25 years. And, you know, I had some calls from other schools in the league that would have been great opportunities. But I assume I had a similar feeling as you did when you were crushing it at Utah. When Florida called, it was a place that, you know, I felt like, you know,

I felt like we could do some pretty special things. When I was in college, was when you were winning national championships. So to see Torian and his teammates, Joachim and Al, winning back-to-backs in the mid-2000s. I always had a great, you know, just feeling about Florida. I thought the brand was amazing. And so to have the opportunity to lead this program when Scott Struggling offered it to me was truly a no-brainer for me. So did you contact my neighbor, Billy Donovan? And you guys, I was trying to think, I can imagine, because Billy and I were so close.

and I watched the way you work. I can imagine that conversation. I hope you did. Did you give him a call? I talked to him right after. You know, I didn't even need his blessing, to be honest. It was too good of an opportunity to ever think twice about. And as soon as I was fortunate enough to get the job, you know, I talked to Billy Donovan

the next day. And he was absolutely amazing. And the thing that I most respect about the conversation we had was he said, Todd, like, I care a lot, Florida. It was really great for me and my family for a number of years. And I want to be as involved or as little. little involved as you want me. I just want you to know that I've got your back and will help you kind of grow in that role. And he introduced me to Torian, who's an assistant on our staff. That's done a

great job. And, you know, I'm glad I was the guy after the guy after Billy and not the guy right after him. And, you know, he's been a great, this role model and someone that I've been able to bounce ideas off of. You know, when I was at Utah, we won and had all kinds of things come across the desk, some really good offers. And Billy, Donovan recruited me. So he called me up in his wife and said, okay, here's where your kids are going to go to school. They knew we're a Catholic. Here's where you're going to live. So by the time we got there, the Donovan family recruited the Meyer family. So it's so good that as a gator to see you and then see you what you're doing right now. And by the way, I told Rob, we went to visit you

on January 6th. And you guys are playing okay, playing pretty good, but you played some hard teams. and you have been kicking ass and taking name since. So I'm going to take a little piece of that credit, if you don't mind. Hey, I think it was your talk in the locker room after we beat Georgia at home that really got our guys moving. And to your point, I thought we had a really good team early on in the year. We just played some really great opponents on some tough neutral floors and came up a little short.

And I do believe the maturity and the physical and mental toughness of our guys have shown up over the last couple months because we've stayed together. And, you know, especially now in this era of what have you done for me lately, I can go to any school I want, whatever I want, for a group to stay together after being five and four, and to not point fingers, to not blame each other or the staff and to stay focused.

And now, you know, we're 20 and 2 or 21 and 2 in our last, you know, 23 games. You know, been awesome in SEC play. And this team has really come together and brought the best out of each other. So before I turn us off to Rob, But go back to this is really critical. You're five and four. You just won the national title. I remember even around here, because they know I'm a gator and they know I know you and they're kind of, I don't want to say they're bitching, but they're like, what's going on up at Florida?

Was that ever even a locker room issue or did you just, just, I just keep grinding? Was there ever any attitude issue with the players when they lost those games? You know what? We didn't have any attitude issues. I do think early on the year, we had a little bit of some confidence issues. and I think that stemmed from us not knowing each other very well yet. You know, obviously we brought in boogie from Arkansas and Zavian from Princeton. And then our front court went from being kind of role-playing butt kickers to now being the main guys and the rotation.

And it took a little bit for us to find her footing that way. But we had a really spirited, you know, kind of post game at Duke, which was our loss that took us to five and three before we played Yukon. We had a chance to win that game. We're up to with 30 seconds to go in Cameron. And we fall a little short and we go in the locker room and I told our guys, I said, listen, man, we're right there. But we need to get a lot better also. Like, we're not close to a finished product.

We need certain guys to pick up their play. We need certain guys to be better leaders. And we have great guys. We had no infighting. We had no complaining. But we had to get our confidence level where it needed to be. And I didn't want our guys to be arrogant, but we had to be more confident than what we're playing with. And I do believe we've kind of found that form right now.

Coach Shirley at Yukon, after they won two straight national titles, they had a bracelet dynasty. And there was all this energy and talk about being a three-time repeat champion. And he said, I didn't handle that right. That wasn't the messaging that I should have put on this new cast of character. So how did you message to your team that, of course, you want to be back-to-back national champs? And you're beginning that journey right now. How does one handle that? Or how did you go about handling it?

Yeah, it was something that was a little bit of a struggle to figure out. And I do, you know, leaning on Coach Donovan, I thought he gave me great advice and saying, listen, man, like a lot of people want to talk about defending this. And he's like, you're not defending crap, man. You got a brand new team. This is, you know, going to be their journey. Yeah, your program might be defending a national championship. But these individual players all have different roles and different responsibilities than they had last year.

This group was trying to win a championship just like last year's group was. And I thought that made a lot of sense. and we've tried to create a new identity for this group. You know, also kind of leaning on the experience that a lot of these guys had being a part of this team last year. But we need, Walter Clayton isn't walking through that door this year. Elijah Martin's not walking through that door. Will Richard is not walking through that door.

We lost three great players that that led us to a national championship. So now, you know, getting these guys to take on more of that leadership, to take more on more of that responsibility, I think has been really healthy. And they're trying to blaze their own trail. Let's go back, Rob, real quick. So, 2006, Coach Donovan and the crew wins it. And then 07, I remember because we were always in each other's locker room. And he invited me, and they beat South Carolina.

And Joe Kim Noah, the whole group came back, if you remember that. The whole group could have left and they came back. And, you know, they win. And Coach Donovan kind of chews their ass about something. I can't remember what. And Joe Kim Noah looks at me. and, like, throws his jersey against the wall, and he says, you know, winning around here used to be fun.

This effing sucks, you know, because the pressure was starting to mount on, you know, a repeat. But that was maybe a different, like you just said, you lost your three of your top players last year. Have you felt like the pressure like they're starting to, did they feel squeezed at all? It doesn't look like when they play. Well, I think early in the year we were dealing with that a lot.

You know, we were preseason top five. You know, we had all the expectations in the world. And, you know, we've started five and four. And our guys, I think we're struggling. And not just our guys, our staff, myself, you know, struggling, battling through that expectation. And, you know, even though we were playing well, we were falling a little short. And we felt like we were letting some people down.

And it became a lot. And getting to five and four was kind of that inflection point where it's like, man, what are we worrying about anymore? You know, we got to get a lot better and get a lot more right to even worry about trying to repeat or worry about being preseason top five. And, you know, so we were able to battle through that in December and kind of reset ourselves. And, you know, some of those expectations that we're having to deal with and that pressure, I do feel like has been alleviated.

And now guys like Zavin and Boogie are playing with great freedom and playing with a lot of confidence. So fortunately, I think we kind of got through that earlier in the year and that's not something that we're having to deal with at this exact moment. Let's throw a big picture college basketball question out there. I've loved this sport for decades. and I get sick when people just start paying attention this month in March. They're like, oh, it's March Madden. It's time for me to care about college basketball.

This has been one of the best seasons, top the bottom in college basketball, so many great talents and programs and storylines. How does college basketball start having people care about the calendar in December and November rather than in March? I think it's tricky. You know, and it's part of our blessing is part of our curse. as well. And, you know, football, you know, is just such a dominant sport in college as it should be, you know, right now and the way it is. And I think especially down here in the South, when you have

great football programs, you know, everywhere you look like that, football is going to lead in the winter. And that's okay. I think we've done a good job of playing some really tough games early on the year, trying to drive viewership, whether was us opening up on, you know, on TNT against Arizona, or us playing Duke and the ACC SEC SEC challenge, playing Yukon on ESPN. Like, we're, we're, trying to create, you know, better inventory for, for basketball in those months. And I think the continued elevation of our product will certainly help us. College basketball over these past couple years, you can say what you want about, you know, NIL, you can say what you want about some of the eligibility issues we're having.

But the product is as good as it's ever been. The talent is as good as it's ever been. We are keeping guys in college who five, 10 years ago would have gone to the NBA because of what we're able to, you know, do rev share-wise. So, you know, I think if we can continue, you know, elevating our product, I think, you know, the NBA is fantastic, but games matter more in the regular season in college. They just certainly do. And I think teams in college are playing every night, like it's a national championship. We're in the NBA, you know, on a Tuesday night in a different city might not bring that same level of competition. So I think we're trending. And I think that's a work in progress, just trying to figure out how to continue to move more eyeballs towards basketball in December. You know, Coach, you said something that is you can only have about one of five or six, I count, that really want to win it all in both sports. How does Scott Strickland, the athletic director at Florida handle? My understanding is you have a rev shoe number, rev share number, and you got to split it between your sports.

Are you in those, obviously, you're in those meetings. How in the world does that happen when you have two sports that want to go compete at the highest level? It's incredibly tricky. And I think it's like for me, like I wasn't born yesterday, man. I know that we at the University of Florida want and, you know, we need football to be good. And I think getting Coach Summerall here was awesome. I think he's a great fit. And I think he will, he's already brought great energy on campus.

I think people really appreciate the excitement he has about the opportunity. But like we need football. We need to make sure football gets good guys. We need to make sure that, you know, for those six or seven Saturdays in the swamp in the fall that, you know, we're getting 90,000 in there and that we have the best product we can. But I do believe, you know, basketball needs to be as high as it can possibly be without taking anything away from football. And that's just the reality with us being the two revenue sports. You know, we're able to drive a lot of eyeballs. We're allowed to drive a lot of people to campus.

Knock on wood, we've been selling out almost every home game we have. So it's, you know, I don't think we can take away anything from football to put our program forward. But I do think we need to be at the highest level possible outside of that football spend to make sure we maintain being competitive. Maybe you can share this or not, but is Florida basketball competitive NIL in your SEC? Are you right there? We're competitive right now. I think, you know, there's people that are definitely ahead of us, which we know about. And, you know, for me, I think we need to just continue to make sure we're at a position where we can recruit the type of guys. And we have some incredibly special guys in our program right now.

But we've been able to thread that needle of guys that we think are talented enough to win, but also are really passionate about being here at Florida. And I think we have some really good guys in a program that we might be able to retain that we need to keep. But, you know, in regards to whether it's the RevShare spend or the NIL support and even the donors that are that are supporting us at a high level, like we're in a good spot right now. What are some things that change when March Madness begins from a player perspective, from a coach perspective, messaging perspective? The main thing is just how quickly it can end.

You know, and my first couple trips to, you know, the NCAA tournament, you know, my first, I guess, two games that I coached, we lost, you know. And so you get there on Tuesday and you're doing interviews, Wednesday's practice, Thursday you play and then you lose and it's like it can go like that you know and I think that's the message that I'm sharing with my team right now like we're playing very well I think we're playing as well as anybody in America and we're putting ourselves in a position to compete to make a deep run but for me it you know we're trying to create that understanding like as great of an experience as it is it can be gone tomorrow and we want to make this last as much as possible so you know just trying to have that

kind of one day at a time mentality also realizing it can be gone as quickly as it's here making sure we don't take any of it for granted. Do you fill out any brackets before March Madness? I don't, but I know my son will. I can guarantee you that. Unfortunately, he had the Gators going all the way last year, so that was good for his bracket. Coach Golden, thanks for joining us.

Best of luck this March and hopefully April for you and your defending national champs, the Gators. Coming up next, we discuss which sport has the best playoff format in three and out here on the triple option presented by Wendy's. Welcome back to the Triple Option presented by Wendy's, Rob Stone, Erb & Meyer here with you. We just talked to Todd Golden, the head coach at Florida, head of March Madness, got us thinking. What are the best playoffs, the best tournaments in all of sports?

So we're going to rank them here in three and out. So, coach, this can be collegiate, professional, amateur, any sport that you want. The top three playoffs or tournaments in all of sports. You get first tips. Oh, what a tough one, but it really is not tough for me. me because I think the greatest sporting event that exists is Sunday at Augusta National, the Masters Tournament with Jim Nance. It used to be Vern Luckwest.

So that's that by far is number one. I've watched it with my son growing up and my father and I watched every Sunday Augusta as far back as I remember. So that's number one. Number two, the new format of the college football playoff is incredible. I wish that was around when I coached. I know they keep making. things a little bit better, but it's never the parody and the way they do it. I love college football

playoff. And then finally, I'm a big March Madness guy. You know, I love college basketball. I don't watch enough of it. I know we have Todd Golden. I watch, I need to watch more because I used to watch it all the time. But I watch the final four. And the enthusiasm, the student bodies, the universities involved, it's the greatest event. One of the greatest events. College basketball, a lot like college football, where both are getting better because of NIL, because of guys sticking around longer. The quality of play is better. It's college sports is going through a great run right now.

So my top three, you know what my number one is. World Cup. Of course. World Cup, less than 100 days away. I got to get into that. It's coming, coach. We're going to get you to do a game. How about USA hockey?

We just let that go. The men and women win the gold. Doggone it. I wish I could redo it. It's the same vibe, same feeling, but it's stretched over a longer period of time. World Cup number one. Listen, there's nothing but winners on this list, right? For me not to say the college football playoffs, and I love the college football playoffs,

hurts, but there's something unique, something different about the NHL playoffs, right? The intensity, the, anytime you can throw a game seven into anything, it's just bonkers, it's great, sports entertainment, wonderful television, wonderful, storylines. And what I love about hockey is that that nod to the history, right, the respect at the end of the game with the handshakes that they go through no matter how many teeth they've knocked out and what the scrums have been like. There's just something that ends it on a proper note that I love. And then March madness, right? And it's more the madness than the March, right? I think anything is better when you can get an underdog like a UMBC, an FDU, a St. Peters, a Princeton, a Florida Gulf

coast, right, making these dramatic runs, creating headlines, you know, making stars out of people you have never heard of, right? Like, nobody knew what the UMBC mascot was until they finally won a game, right? There's something about that. But I don't think you can go wrong with any sporting tournament or event. Like, Coach, I bet your club tournament is pretty awesome to play. Oh, they are. Anytime you got competition.

But the reason I go with Augusta National, it's also a part of it. you grew up in. You know, my father was not a golfer. I was not a golfer, but we had such respect for Jack Nicholas in that era of golf that we sat there and watched every Sunday as far back as I remember. And guess what my son did as far back as he could say the word, hello, we're sitting there with my son watching. And by the way, Saturday, Augusta National this year, the master, that bring to my son. We'll be there watching it. Oh, let's go. Enjoy that one.
