Hondo CarpenterHOST
Before we talk about the football team, and we will talk a little bit basketball, we're gonna go to Dan Bartholomew, the new athletic director.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I wanted Mark Hollis to get the job.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
There were a lot of people that wanted Mark Hollis to get the job.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
Uh, I was told that there weren't enough people with the guts to hire Mark Hollis, um, 'cause there were people that didn't want Mark, 'cause other people did, and people who did, who wanted Mark, but others didn't.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
It was just a mess.
Hondo CarpenterHOST
But if I could not hire Mark, Bartholomew would have been a guy I would have hired.

Tom IzzoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, it started that first year.
Tom IzzoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was just with Mark Hollis yesterday when, when there were 4,000 Indiana sweaters here at my first Big 10 game, and we, we said we're s- changing the student group Uh, before that game started in the hallway downstairs, uh, I went off on him, and he kind of, you know, wasn't his fault either, but I was frustrated.
Tom IzzoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And, uh, and so we did change things then, and I think that's what made us become one of the hardest places to play, why you have a 53 or four-game winning streak, and all the things that go along with it.
Tom IzzoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Students are valuable.
Paul W. SmithHOST
Uh, it's gonna be a great day, I can tell you that.
Paul W. SmithHOST
The Final Four is phenomenal, and we have, as Mr. Announcer gave it away, a very special co-host on the program, 'cause, uh, I don't know anything about these things, and our co-host, Mark Hollis, who you enjoy, uh, Sunday mornings from 8:00 to 10:00 AM, and of course he's also the COO of Rock Entertainment, he is here to co-host the show because you know everything about the Final Four.
Mark HollisHOST
Well, what an honor it is to be with you.
Mark HollisHOST
You know, growing up as a kid, I loved listening to you on WJR.
Paul W. SmithHOST
I, I don't even remember all the details.
Paul W. SmithHOST
I just remember it was bad, but it's all good now.
Paul W. SmithHOST
And if we wanna keep doing things like this, which we do, because it's worth hundreds of millions of dollars for our area, what do we have to make sure that we continue to do, Mark Hollis? I, I think I'm gonna say it up front.
Paul W. SmithHOST
You don't have to say it, but I think we're a little weak in the state's, uh, support financially.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
And I could, I could take a couple of calls if you wanna do this.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Coming up in the next segment, Mark Hollis, host of WJR's JR Sunday, CEO of Rock Entertainment Group, former athletic director at Michigan State, is gonna join us.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Um, his new Nick Saban documentary is out, and he details why he left Michigan State.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Gonna talk to Mark Hollis about that to see how accurate Nick Saban's depiction of why he left Michigan State is, uh, as far as Hollis is concerned.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
But I could take a couple of calls.

Paul W. SmithHOST
Sundays, uh, from 8:00 till 10:00 in the morning, uh, when he's not the COO of Rock Entertainment, the host of JR Sunday, Sunday morning 8:00 to 10:00, Mark Hollis.
Paul W. SmithHOST
Uh, to the team, the team, the team, Mike Parsons, Danielle Mason, Rich Luzinski, Dave Rieger on location.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
And according to Saban, the administration said, "Nobody cares about your 100 grand." So, uh, Saban says at that point it wasn't about the money, it was, uh, ultimately about trust and a broken promise, not simply the $100,000.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Is his account accurate? Let me bring in the former, uh, athletic director at Michigan State University, host of JR Sunday on WJR, and the COO of Rock Entertainment Group, the great Mark Hollis.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Uh, Mark, how are you? Thanks for the time, my friend.
Mark HollisGUEST
We're doing wonderful.

Ryan ErmanniHOST
And he credits his time at Michigan State, you know, five years in as, as an assistant, five years, uh, as a head coach, uh, one of the most remarkable, uh, places, stops along the way.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
And it helped shape who Nick Saban is.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Uh, Mark Hollis, we always appreciate you, sir.
Ryan ErmanniHOST
Thanks so much.
