Leadership. Discipline. Culture. Winning.

On this episode of The Tim May Show, Tim May and Clay Hall are joined by Brian Kight, author of the Daily Discipline newsletter, for a deep, fascinating conversation on what truly drives elite programs.

Kight shares firsthand insight from helping build Urban Meyer’s championship leadership model—developed alongside his late father—and explains why discipline, clarity, and standards still separate the best from the rest.

The discussion also breaks down why leaders like Lane Kiffin and Curt Cignetti are thriving in today’s chaotic college football landscape—and what other programs get wrong when trying to copy success.

This is a masterclass in leadership that goes far beyond football.

📌 Topics Include:
• Building championship culture
• Discipline vs. motivation
• Why standards matter more than slogans
• Leadership lessons from title teams
• Applying elite coaching principles to life & business

Plus, is Indiana's National Championship the greatest sports story of all time?

Former OSU & NFL linebacker Matt Wilhelm & one of the top sportswriters & authors, Jeff Snook, discuss the Hoosiers place in history & the impact on the Big Ten.

It’s a Wilhelm Weekend on The Tim May Show feat. Clay Hall.

Ohio State All-American, National Champion, and Super Bowl winner Matt Wilhelm joins Clay Hall and Tim May for a must-listen breakdown of the College Football Playoff national championship matchup between Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes. What makes this matchup so compelling, and how did college football get here?

Then the conversation turns to the transfer portal — and the talent gusher flowing straight into Ohio State Buckeyes. From proven contributors to battle-tested players arriving from powerhouse programs like Alabama Crimson Tide, the Buckeyes are once again adapting faster than the rest of the sport.

Wilhelm brings the player’s perspective on why adaptation is no longer optional in college football — it’s survival. NIL, portal strategy, roster churn, and culture all collide as Ohio State reloads with championship expectations still firmly in place.

If you want real insight from someone who’s been in the locker room, on the field, and at the highest levels of the game, this episode delivers.
