Mark Pope Is The King Of Provo

Jason Buck and Scott Mitchell of Rivals talk about a man they both worked with for the NFL: Dick Lebeau.

Both Jason and Scott played for Dick Lebeau at the Cincinnati Bengals.  Even today, he picks up the phone for them.

Lebeau is like Clint Eastwood.  He's very cool but can get action-packed when needed.  He was a pro bowl player in the NFL as a great defensive back.  He had 62 interceptions in an era where they didn't throw the ball.

Scott played for Dick Lebeau when he was a defensive coordinator.  The head coach Bruce Coslet just left.  Totally walked away.  So they made Lebeau the interim head coach.  Usually, that would be the kiss of death.  Lebeau made it work.  Scott remembers when he called an offside kick from a safety.  Only Lebeau would know how to do something like that.

Best Of: Onside Kick After Safety ! ! ! Only Dick Lebeau

If you had to play any other sport (besides football) what would it be? Jason invented a sport today: Full contact golf. That is what he would rather play. Scott's choice is more mellow than Jason's. Jason also mentions MMA fighting and which former BYU coaches he would like to take on.

Here are the rules that Scott Mitchell and Jason Buck think need to be changed in college football. Jason Buck said they need to protect the quarterback WAY LESS. Scott Mitchell said defensive ends (like Jason Buck) are the reasons these rules exist. Scott's rule has to do with societies short attention span.
