Ian Good afternoon, sir, Thank you so 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: much for the time. 6 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: Man. 7 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 3: How are you what's going on? Are you guys doing 8 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 3: great to talk. 9 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: To with the I we were talking before you came on. 10 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: The number. I'm not sure your numbers, guy, but the 11 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: number the number for the Super bowls four and a half. 12 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 2: It opened at four and a half and it's not 13 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: moved at all. It's the first Super Bowl that I 14 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: can remember in a long time that hasn't seen any 15 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: sort of fluctuation in the betting line. Is that significant 16 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: in your mind? And if so, what does it mean? 17 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 4: You know? 18 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: Honestly, like, I've done this for a long time, and 19 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 3: I'm not a certainly not a betting expert. I obviously 20 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: don't gamble myself and all of those things, right, I 21 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 3: really struggled to find any correlation to reality between the 22 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 3: gambling line and what actually happens in the games. You know, 23 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: I would say generally what it reflects is public see 24 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 3: men in public confidence, right, and so it seems like 25 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 3: public sentiment and public confidence has not changed. I mean, 26 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: I think most people think the Seahawks is a better team. 27 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: Patriots could for sure win, But I mean that's what 28 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: it feels like to me, the better, more complete team, 29 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 3: bothtball coached. You know, maybe Patriots have excuse me, I 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 3: have a quarterback with a with a little higher ceiling 31 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: on the ball a little better, so its defense is 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: really good. It's like it's just a good solid matchup. 33 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: But I don't know what would sort of swing it 34 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 3: either way. 35 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 4: Honestly, Hey, Ian Shelby Harris here when it comes to 36 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: Davis Webb, we obviously we heard about him taking head 37 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 4: coaching interviews and even had some interest and opportunities to 38 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 4: go maybe call plays somewhere else. I guess what, what 39 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 4: was there a llure of staying in a situation where 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 4: you may not even be able to call plays compared 41 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 4: to goals of rails, where you could have a little 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 4: bit more rain, you have a little bit more free 43 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: to and what you do. 44 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't want to speak 45 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: for Davis web but whether or not he call college plays, 46 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: we'll see on that whether he calls plays, there's a 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: lot to learn from Sean Payton. I think if you're 48 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: Davis Webb thirty one years old or whatever he is, 49 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: you know, obviously, I mean seems to be tracking to 50 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: be a future head coach in the NFL. Calling plays 51 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: is great, it really is. But learning to be a 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: head coach, learning how to set a culture, learning how 53 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: to impact a team and steer a team and deal 54 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 3: with adversity and all the things that're going to being 55 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: a head coach, you know, that's paramount. And you know 56 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: Sean Payton, I mean you look around the NFL. You 57 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 3: see all the people that's stealing people from his staff. 58 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 3: You see what it's been like in the past. I 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: mean he has had, you know, he he gets teams ready, 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: he gets coaches ready. He does an excellent job of 61 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: sort of figuring out how to succeed in the NFL 62 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: by any means necessary. I think there's a lot to 63 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: like with Davis web for staying another year with Sean Payton. 64 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: We'll see how many more after this, but I really 65 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: like the decision for him to stay. 66 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think so too. 67 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: A lot of Broncos fans seem to like it as well. 68 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: You got a report on Monday night last week that 69 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: caught a little by surprise out here about Joe Brady 70 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: and how you said Sean had reached out to Joe 71 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: right before he was named the head coach of the 72 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Bills about coming to Denver and possibly calling plays. I'd 73 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: love to get a little more information from you on 74 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: that perspective, perspective because Sean Payton doesn't typically hand over 75 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: play calling duties, and all of a sudden now our 76 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: minds have been open to the possibility maybe Sean's thinking 77 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: about turning this thing over to somebody. 78 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think if you're another want to 79 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: speak for Sean Payton, but I'll just say generally, you know, 80 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: it's what you really want as a head coach is 81 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: to have someone you have enough confidence in me you 82 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: could say I trust you to call it like I 83 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: would right, Like I think, if you're Sean McVay, if 84 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: you're Kevin O'Connell, if you're Sean Payton's something a really 85 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: good authensive mind. Kyle Shanahan and Kyle will probably always 86 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: call plays. But like, you know, what you'd really like 87 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: is have so many other confidence I mean and say like, 88 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: go do this, like I can just be the CEE 89 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: of the team. And you know, the other thing is 90 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: if you're going to get a gully Joe Brady, who is, 91 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: you know, the number one coordinator option out there, probably 92 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: would have been the highest paid coordinator in the NFL 93 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: from the Baltimore Ravens. But you know, if you're that coveted, 94 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: then maybe you've got to do some different things to 95 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: bring someone like that along, you know. And so maybe 96 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: if Sean Payton was like, the only way to get 97 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: a guy like Joe Brady is to offer him play calling, 98 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 3: you know, I think those you know sort of things 99 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: go into the decision. But it's interesting because you know, 100 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: it was a really good season for Denver, but for me, 101 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 3: just that he was thinking of that and willing to 102 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: even consider giving up play calling really should show you 103 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: that he is willing to do whatever it takes to 104 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 3: get this team as high as they can go. 105 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: And it looks like Klint Kobek is going to be 106 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: the guy in Las Vegas. Is there any way that 107 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 2: that does not happen? In your mind? 108 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,239 Speaker 3: I would be surprised. And my understanding is all sides 109 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 3: are committed to this happening. You know, they don't have 110 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: a deal yet, right but you know, and you're really 111 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: not allowed to negotiate a deal. But I don't know 112 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: that it really matters, because you know, all you could 113 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: say is like, hey, if we were to offer you 114 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: this job, we'd make you a head coach. That makes 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: you know, the eleventh highest paid head coach or whatever 116 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: it is. I should make up a number, and you 117 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: could say, yeah, that's probably something we consider. It's like 118 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 3: we're good, We're good, you know, and then that's gonna happen. 119 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: So we're gonna talk to Clint tonight at opening that 120 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: I mean in San Jose right now. So we're gonna 121 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: talk to him. We'll see what he says. But I mean, 122 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: to me, it seems all systems go for Las Vegas Raiders. 123 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: They consider themselves done. I consider themselves done as well. 124 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: And you know this Arsenal made and new OC as well. 125 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 4: Well. I we we both don't that tampering is a 126 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 4: real thing in the NFL. We wh But then but 127 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 4: by I guess my thoughts are you know, the advance shows. 128 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 4: I want to talk about Van jose So Van Joseph 129 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 4: one of the you know, the decodinator of one of 130 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: the best defenses in the league. They led the league 131 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 4: in sacks. What happened and his coaching started likeful and 132 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 4: his opportunities to look for a head coaching job. It 133 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: kind of seemed like as the Broncos kept winning, his 134 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 4: job opportunities kept fading away. 135 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I know he got real 136 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 3: work from the Raiders, and if it wasn't Clinton, it 137 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 3: might have been him. Arizona was never was never real. 138 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 3: I know they didn't talk to him. 139 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: You know. 140 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: It's frustrating because he's one of the best coordinators in 141 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 3: the NFL. He has done an unbelievable job in Denver. 142 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: He's been a head coach, but was you know, in 143 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 3: it for as you guys know, very difficult circumstances with 144 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: John Elway as GM and no quarterback in minutes, it 145 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: was a challenge and I think he deserves another chance. 146 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: I frustrated as someone who knows him well and just 147 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: someone who appreciates coaches, you know, I'm frustrated that he 148 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 3: didn't get another chance. I think he will, I really do. 149 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: I hope next year. But you know why somebody wouldn't 150 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: hire him. I just I don't quite understand it, to 151 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: be honest. 152 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Our last one I have for you staying with the 153 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. We've heard a lot of rumblings 154 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: of frustration that he didn't get the head coaching job 155 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: out there in Cleveland. 156 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: What's his future look like. I think it's still to 157 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: be determined. You know, there's a lot of different ways 158 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: this skill. Yeah, I mean he was, he was certainly frustrated. 159 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: He left the building, had some more conversations over the 160 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: last twenty four hours or so. It remains unsettled. You know, 161 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: I expected to get settled this week. But like if 162 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: you have an employee's not that happy, there's a couple 163 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: different ways to do it. You can say, you know, 164 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 3: go away, we're not interested. Go be a defensive coordinator somewhere. 165 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: Or you can say, hey, you know it helps money. 166 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: People like money. Money helps He makes someone feel better 167 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: that way, So there's different ways to handle it. You know, 168 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 3: it's tough for meet a ballpark. I just don't like 169 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: if if it's not give, it's gorn to the Cleveland Browns, 170 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: and where does he go? It's not gonna be the 171 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: forty nine ers. I'm not sure. It's so sure it's 172 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: gonna be egos things. Sounds like the expansion probably sticks. 173 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: So like where actually does he go? I think that, 174 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: you know, kind of falls into the equation as well, 175 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: because if one of those prime jobs was open, then 176 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: you know, he might have taken it by now. 177 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 4: Uh yeah. My last question obviously this last coaching cycle, 178 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 4: we didn't see a single African American head coach get hired, 179 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: and so my question is more about the future of 180 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 4: the Rooney rule because it seems like a lot of 181 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: teams are just checking boxes any you know, every opening 182 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: there is. We keep hearing about they can't make a 183 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: hire until they, you know, actually fulfilled the Rooney rules. 184 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 4: So are there any talks in the league that actually 185 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: put some substance behind the Rooney rule and actually make 186 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: it legit or or is this kind of where we 187 00:08:59,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 4: are right now? 188 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: You know, I think the real question is what would 189 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: make it legit? Like, you know, you can't force anyone 190 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: to hire someone that they don't want to hire, you know, 191 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: I just you do the best you can and you 192 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: get him to consider all sorts of candidates, You make 193 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 3: them sow the process done, you get you know, interviews, 194 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 3: multiple interviews of people with color done. But in the end, like, 195 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 3: I don't know what else you can do. I mean, 196 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: you know, there's there have been, you know, events to 197 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: help owners meet some of the young minority candidates. Coaches, 198 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: john managers that don't that doesn't happen anymore. You know, 199 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 3: you have the really role. I mean it's like I 200 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 3: think the NFL has tried. I just don't know. Excuse me. 201 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from you know, Roger Goodell in about 202 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 3: twenty minutes for his yearly address during Super Bowl. But 203 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: I don't know what else you can do. I really 204 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 3: I wish, I wish I knew, I wish I had 205 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: some answers, but you know, unfortunately I don't. 206 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: Ian always great man, enjoy super Bowl Week and we 207 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: will check in with you next week.
