Brandon Tatum Exposes Ryan Clark's Political Commentary on ESPN and LSU Coaching Controversy

[00:00] Ryan Clark got to be the silliest

[00:03] commentator on the internet. I'll say on

[00:05] ESPN. Why do they still have him on

[00:07] there? That dude is literally a a Black

[00:10] Lives Matter billboard walking.

[00:14] [music]

[00:14] >> First off, it's the second most

[00:15] ridiculous thing he said this week. The

[00:18] first was standing on campus and saying

[00:20] he wanted to put a statue up of somebody

[00:22] that doesn't represent the people of

[00:24] Louisiana, doesn't represent the players

[00:26] [music] and the students at LSU, doesn't

[00:29] represent the executives that work

[00:31] there. That was the first [music] dumb

[00:33] thing he said.

[00:34] >> To me, bro, unless you colorblind, this

[00:38] looks like the majority of the counties

[00:40] are red [music] and they definitely love

[00:43] Charlie Kirk. You want to bet? Like,

[00:51] video, comment on this video, share this

[00:53] video. Let's get into this. Let's get to

[00:55] Ryan Clark because he's the

[00:58] silliest black man on the internet. And

[01:02] this dude is like the epitome of a low

[01:04] functioning black man who never

[01:06] emotionally matured. It's like going to

[01:09] prison at 16 years old. Yeah, you got

[01:11] older, but you didn't emotionally

[01:12] mature. Yeah, you rich and you famous

[01:15] and you had a really good career in the

[01:16] NFL, but your social emotional

[01:20] intelligence is dead. Let's listen to

[01:23] what he had to say regarding sports. And

[01:27] I I think that the governor has

[01:29] something to do with this because he was

[01:30] interviewed on another sports channel,

[01:32] but uh he was interviewed on

[01:36] uh ESPN. What was the what was the other

[01:37] guy's show?

[01:39] >> It was Nick's favorite guy?

[01:40] >> Pat McAfei.

[01:41] >> Pat McAfee. He was interviewed on Pat

[01:43] McAfei show and I think Ryan Clark who

[01:45] hates I don't think he hates all white

[01:47] people because obviously his baby mama

[01:49] white and his kid is mixed and he act

[01:51] like he black blackity black but he

[01:53] couldn't he couldn't leave that white

[01:54] chocolate alone. Okay, so but this is

[01:56] what he had to say. Let's roll the clip.

[01:58] >> First off, it's the second most

[01:59] ridiculous thing said this week.

[02:01] >> Let's start over. I want y'all to look

[02:03] at I want y'all to listen to Ryan Clark,

[02:05] but look at Stephen A while you listen

[02:07] to Ryan. I text Stephen A, too. I said,

[02:09] "Bro, why you looking at Ryan Clark like

[02:11] that?" And Stephen A was like, I had no

[02:14] idea what he was talking about. So,

[02:16] wrote a clip.

[02:17] >> First off, it's the second most

[02:19] ridiculous thing he said this week. The

[02:21] first was standing on campus and saying

[02:23] he wanted to put a statue up of somebody

[02:25] that doesn't represent the people of

[02:27] Louisiana, doesn't represent the players

[02:30] and the students at LSU, doesn't

[02:32] represent the executives that work

[02:34] there. That was the first dumb thing he

[02:36] said this week. This is the second

[02:38] dumbest, right, amongst a lot of dumb

[02:40] things that he says. Scott Woodard, for

[02:43] whatever he is, is a man who got Jay

[02:46] Johnson, right? Last I checked, the 2025

[02:50] uh Louisiana State University Tiger

[02:52] baseball team was in the White House

[02:54] getting the gat recently, right? He was

[02:56] there in 2019 when it's one of the

[02:58] greatest college football teams of all

[03:00] time. He's also he also was there when

[03:02] he said, "You know what? We're going to

[03:03] go out and get Kim Moy, right? She

[03:04] brings a championship to the school with

[03:06] Angel Reese and with Fl Johnson. And so

[03:09] to me, this is another situation of

[03:13] politicians poking their nose into

[03:15] things that they don't know about. And I

[03:18] honestly believe it was so he can get in

[03:20] front of a microphone and say, "Look at

[03:22] this connection I have to the president

[03:23] and he likes to pick winners so he could

[03:25] plate to somebody he idolizes." You

[03:28] don't know nothing about football.

[03:31] There's enough going on in the state of

[03:33] Louisiana that needs to be fixed for his

[03:35] constituents where I don't need you

[03:37] tweeting on Saturday night about what's

[03:39] going on in Tiger Stadium. There is too

[03:43] many issues happening right there under

[03:46] your nose that ain't got nothing to do

[03:47] with sports. Scott Woodard is a good

[03:49] man. Scott Woodard is a man that cares

[03:52] about LSU in the greatest times back in

[03:54] the day. He understood what it was like

[03:56] to be a part of a winner and he's

[03:58] brought more winners back to the school.

[04:01] He didn't miss because Brian Kelly

[04:04] wasn't capable. He missed because Brian

[04:07] Kelly was no longer willing. Brian Kelly

[04:09] was no longer tapped in. Brian Kelly

[04:11] didn't care if the people of Louisiana

[04:13] cared about him and he didn't care if

[04:15] the players knew that he cared about

[04:17] them.

[04:18] >> That's where it went wrong. Not in

[04:20] picking a man who was the winningest

[04:21] all-time coach in Notre Dame history.

[04:23] So, for me, it's emotional clearly and

[04:27] it pisses me off, but Scott Woodard

[04:29] deserves to pick the next head coach and

[04:32] the governor should stay out of it.

[04:35] >> Now, let let's talk about this real

[04:38] quick. I I might play the Pat McAfee.

[04:41] Did we We take that or I tell you to cut

[04:42] it.

[04:43] >> I told you to cut it.

[04:46] >> Yeah. Yeah. I might I might play the M

[04:48] Pat McAfee clip because I think this is

[04:50] associated with what Ryan Clark was

[04:52] talking about with Jeff Landry kind of

[04:55] uh talking about the Brian Kelly buyout.

[04:58] But before we get there, when he said

[05:00] Charlie Kirk

[05:03] did not represent Louisiana

[05:06] and he did not represent the students at

[05:08] LSU, you mean the black students?

[05:10] Because you're not talking about overall

[05:11] students. I spoke at LSU. Charlie Kirk

[05:14] crowds of thousands of people at LSU.

[05:16] They love Charlie Kirk at LSU. This

[05:17] video is brought to you by

[05:18] myfireside.com. myfireside.com. These uh

[05:22] fire pits are absolutely

[05:25] incredible. [snorts]

[05:26] As you can see, all you got to do is

[05:27] look at the pictures on here. You can

[05:28] make some marshmallows over the top. And

[05:31] the thing that I really love about it is

[05:32] the branding. You can put your brand.

[05:34] You can put whatever you want to put on

[05:35] it. We have a the officer Tatum one. Uh

[05:37] my my guy Jim got one at the house. You

[05:40] can also grill on these things. They put

[05:42] the top right on the on the top and you

[05:43] can put some steaks on it. Uh Jim was

[05:46] telling me that he was making some hot

[05:47] dogs on it. You can see they they uh

[05:50] made one for First Form right here for

[05:51] all of you First Form lovers. And the

[05:53] owner here is an incredible guy, man. He

[05:54] came right here to the headquarters. We

[05:56] fired that thing up. It's beautiful.

[05:58] It's sturdy. You will you will have this

[06:01] for the rest of your life. It's thick

[06:04] metal. I think he said it was like 12

[06:06] gauge metal. Proudly made in the United

[06:09] States of America. None of that overseas

[06:10] crap. So, make sure you get you one of

[06:13] these fire pits. And you can also use it

[06:15] as a grill. Look at the reviews. All

[06:17] five star reviews. You cannot find a

[06:20] product like this anywhere else in the

[06:22] world. I'm telling you, every other

[06:24] product that they try to make like this,

[06:26] they make it cheap. It falls apart. It's

[06:29] not made with the American pride that

[06:31] this uh fire pit is made from. So, make

[06:34] sure you go on to fireside or

[06:36] myfireside.com. Tell them B. Tatum sent

[06:39] you and let's make this patriotic

[06:41] company the number one company in the

[06:43] world. Now, let's go to the state map of

[06:46] the election.

[06:48] To me, bro, unless you colorblind, this

[06:52] looks like the majority of the counties

[06:54] are red and they definitely love Charlie

[06:57] Kirk. You want to bet and I and I know

[07:01] Landry, I met him before. He's his

[07:03] accent is crazy. That that dude when you

[07:06] talk about gumbo eating uh Louisiana

[07:08] swamp alligator hunt, he invited me to

[07:11] an alligator hunt. You know you country.

[07:13] You You know you from Louisiana. You You

[07:16] should have seen what he said to me,

[07:17] man. I I can't wait for y'all to listen

[07:19] to his accent. He like, "Man, you'll

[07:20] come over here and get that gumbo. Get

[07:22] that gumbo get alligator. You hit him in

[07:24] the head. You shoot him in the head and

[07:25] top and you flip over. We cut him, make

[07:26] him into purses and all kind." He had

[07:28] that accent. I was like, "Boy, he from

[07:29] Louisiana. He is Louisiana's finest."

[07:33] This is when he was like the attorney

[07:34] general or something like that. But do

[07:36] your math, bro. He's not representative

[07:39] of Louisiana.

[07:41] >> [laughter]

[07:43] >> The governor of Louisiana loves him and

[07:45] all these people voted for the governor

[07:47] of Louisiana and all these people went

[07:49] to Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk was a

[07:51] big responsibility for Donald Trump

[07:53] winning. It looks to me that most people

[07:54] in Louisiana love Charlie Kirk. All

[07:57] right, let's get to the Pat McAfee clip

[07:59] because I think that this is this will

[08:00] give Ryan Clark a little bit of context

[08:02] of what he's saying and his frustration.

[08:04] Uh, in good faith, I'm I'm going to play

[08:05] it real quick. Uh, roll clip 203.

[08:08] >> So, the governor runs the state schools.

[08:10] Is that accurate? So, ultimately, you

[08:12] are boss at LSU. Is that a is that a

[08:14] fair assessment? Because I don't know

[08:15] that this is a legitimate question

[08:16] whenever I say this.

[08:18] >> Yeah. Yeah. So, so we've got a number of

[08:21] four-year universities in the state of

[08:22] Louisiana, and each um LSU has their own

[08:26] board. It's called the Board of

[08:27] Supervisors. It's appointed by the

[08:29] governor under staggered terms. So,

[08:32] really, I'm the one that appoints them.

[08:33] They then appoint the president and the

[08:35] AD and and the decisions that are made

[08:37] at the university are really made by the

[08:39] board, but there are appointees that

[08:41] represent me. That's pretty much the

[08:42] same way I think it happens around the

[08:44] state, around the country. I know that's

[08:46] how it happens in Texas as well. The

[08:48] governor's in charge of appointing the

[08:50] board of regents of say&m and UT.

[08:52] >> Okay. So, you have the board of

[08:54] supervisors uh there at LSU. Uh you said

[08:57] in your press conference that they will

[08:59] either find a committee to find the

[09:01] coach or they will select a coach in

[09:03] that entire process. Are you in there at

[09:06] all? Because I think people were saying

[09:07] because you said in there I'm not

[09:08] picking a coach. You said I'm not

[09:09] picking a coach but other people will

[09:10] pick a coach. I'm not. What now? Do you

[09:12] feel though that immediately upon you

[09:14] speaking about it everybody thinks to

[09:15] themselves Governor Lander wants to pick

[09:17] a coach? That is that is kind of what

[09:18] people get worried about. That is not

[09:20] what you were saying at all. Right.

[09:22] No, listen. Emphatically, I am not

[09:25] picking the coach. That is not my job.

[09:27] The only reason I'm really involved,

[09:29] Pat, is because this contract that

[09:31] currently is between the state of

[09:32] Louisiana, the Louisiana State

[09:34] University system, and Brian Kelly

[09:37] leaves the taxpayers of the state on the

[09:40] bill. There's misinformation out there.

[09:42] People are saying, "Oh, no. The

[09:43] taxpayers aren't liable. They're not

[09:45] reading the contract." On Sunday, I had

[09:47] a meeting with the lawyers as they were

[09:48] talking about whether or not Brian Kelly

[09:50] was terminated, whether they were going

[09:52] to fire him. And all I cared about were

[09:54] the taxpayers of our state. And that

[09:56] contract binds the state of Louisiana.

[09:59] If we have to pay $53 million and

[10:02] somebody else doesn't step up to foot

[10:04] that bill, the state of Louisiana has to

[10:06] foot that bill. That is in the contract.

[10:10] So without even digging that deep, maybe

[10:13] Ryan Clark should interview the governor

[10:15] because it appears Ryan Clark don't know

[10:17] what he talking about. He act like the

[10:19] governor is just sticking his nose into

[10:21] something he has no association with.

[10:23] The governor just explained how they

[10:25] select the board and they kind of

[10:26] represent the governor. And then there

[10:28] are contracts with the coach that could

[10:30] put the taxpayer dollar or you know the

[10:32] taxpayers on the hook for a $53 million

[10:35] payout. Because when they fire these

[10:36] coaches, they have to pay them out the

[10:38] the rest of their contract, which is a

[10:40] great contract, right? You lose and they

[10:43] pay you out. So, and to be honest, I

[10:46] know a little bit about football. Ryan

[10:48] Clark did play at a higher level than I

[10:49] did, but I know a lot about football.

[10:51] And I I I would argue, you know, if God

[10:54] wanted to be different, I probably would

[10:55] have went to the NFL and been just as

[10:57] good or better than Ryan Clark. I was I

[10:58] was bigger. And and and to be honest, I

[11:01] don't know, maybe maybe you can probably

[11:02] catch a little better than me, but I was

[11:03] a little bigger than him. And I was I

[11:06] would argue I was more athletic than he

[11:08] was. However, that's no here nor there.

[11:10] He did play in the NFL and I didn't. But

[11:12] at the end of the day, you know,

[11:15] sometimes people pick bad coaches on a

[11:18] last leg. Just because you were the most

[11:20] winningest coach in history at Notre

[11:22] Dame, it does not mean that you are

[11:25] still capable of winning in a on a

[11:27] different team. So, if there is any

[11:29] critique about frustrations with hiring

[11:31] the wrong coach, it's not just about

[11:33] winning. It's about can you win in this

[11:35] culture? Are you do you still have it in

[11:37] you? And Ryan Clark already admitted

[11:39] that his buyin wasn't what it needed to

[11:42] be. That's why he ended up getting

[11:44] ousted. And that's the critique of

[11:46] saying what did you know his buyin

[11:48] wasn't that good when you decided to

[11:50] hire the man after his prime. That's the

[11:53] part that that that goes on on in many

[11:55] of these campuses like University of

[11:57] Arizona. Coach Rich Rod and I don't know

[12:00] him. He probably follow me. But I'm just

[12:02] saying coach Rich Rod in my personal

[12:04] opinion. They they seem to get people

[12:06] after they've already done a lot of

[12:07] stuff. Rich Rod was successful at West

[12:10] Virginia. I believe he was successful at

[12:12] Michig. I I forget where he came from.

[12:15] It was West Virginia. It was somewhere

[12:16] else. I think he went to Michigan. He

[12:18] got fired. Went to West Virginia. Got

[12:19] into something and then Arizona hire

[12:21] him. He did really well under Coach

[12:24] Stoops athletes that Coach Stoops

[12:26] recruited. And Coach Stoops wasn't a

[12:29] good coach. He was great at recruiting.

[12:31] He recruited me and a bunch of other

[12:33] all-American athletes, but he didn't

[12:35] know how to coach us. That's why we lost

[12:36] almost every game until the very end. He

[12:39] did okay. Then they fired his sire self.

[12:41] Um, no no offense to his daughter. I

[12:44] know she followed me on social media,

[12:45] but your her daddy was just not a good

[12:47] coach at at that school. And he went to

[12:49] back to Oklahoma and got fired from

[12:50] Oklahoma and his brother was coaching

[12:51] the team. So So you know you messed up

[12:54] when your brother fire you, bro. But

[12:56] then, you know, because it's in the

[12:58] family, coach Mark Stops, who was my

[12:59] defensive back coach at Arizona, is a

[13:01] coach at Kentucky, the most winningest

[13:02] coach in Kentucky history. I give him

[13:04] his props because I liked him more than

[13:05] I like Mike. And he brought him on the

[13:07] staff cuz that's his brother. You know

[13:08] what I mean? You you going to take care

[13:09] of your brother. All right. So, anyway,

[13:12] uh Ryan Clark need to uh stick to sports

[13:14] and stop trying to act like he know

[13:16] anything about politics is almost every

[13:18] political stance he make is wrong.
