Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio hour or two on this Wednesday. Spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time talking about the Patriots, Tom Brady coming
Speaker 1: back to town, check in with the Fighting Irish and
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Brian Kelling will join us head coach. I
Speaker 1: got Cincinnati coming up. Brian used to coach at Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Not exactly the same as Brady coming back to New England,
Speaker 1: but you know, we'll try to hype it as best
Speaker 1: weeken eight seven seven three d P show email address
Speaker 1: DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DPS show.
Speaker 1: We have a new poll question, I believe for hour
Speaker 1: two McLevin give the results of the first poll question
Speaker 1: and the new one. If you could go back in
Speaker 1: time and be a beat reporter for one of these teams,
Speaker 1: which would be the Patriots, Cavaliers or SEC Football. Patriots
Speaker 1: are seventy okay, thought provoking pole. Which of these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: is most likely to end his career going wide or
Speaker 1: with the same team, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson or Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg because he's not going to any place else.
Speaker 1: If you can't play in Pittsburgh, nobody is going to
Speaker 1: take Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, I don't think ends his
Speaker 1: career in Seattle. Matt Ryan, I'm gonna say he ends
Speaker 1: his career in Atlanta. I thought that there was some
Speaker 1: doubt if they did take a quarterback, but I would
Speaker 1: say Mattie Ice ends it in Atlanta and Big Ben.
Speaker 1: You know, I look back on what the Steelers could
Speaker 1: have done in the offseason. You don't like Mason Rudolph.
Speaker 1: You're taking a flyer on Dwayne Haskins. Ben, you know,
Speaker 1: was supposed to be new and improved and the Tom
Speaker 1: Brady TV twelve diet and pliability, and he shaved his
Speaker 1: beard and everybody went, god, Ben looks great. He looks
Speaker 1: great because he doesn't look like he's in zz top anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be Chris Stapleton's doppelgang or the
Speaker 1: country singer like, come on, let's go man. He looks
Speaker 1: Raggy's in shape. He shaved his beard. Chris Stapleton probably
Speaker 1: has more mobility than Ben does. Wow. But they could
Speaker 1: they could have gotten Gardner Minshew. That's a sixth round
Speaker 1: draft pick. If you don't like Duck Devlin or Josh
Speaker 1: Dobbs or Dwayne Haskins or I mean, then why not
Speaker 1: get somebody, Get somebody who is a legitimate NFL quarterback
Speaker 1: just in case this doesn't work out. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: a playoff team from a year ago. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be odd, it's gonna be awkward. If Ben
Speaker 1: continues to spiral down, the offense doesn't do anything, then
Speaker 1: they're gonna have decisions to make. Ben will have decision
Speaker 1: to make. Does he want to be a backup? Is
Speaker 1: he willing to be a backup? Is he willing to
Speaker 1: be benched? Is there somebody you're going to put in
Speaker 1: who's so much better than Ben Roethlisberger. Everybody's overreacting to
Speaker 1: the end is near for Ben. We know that I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have brought him back this year, said that, but
Speaker 1: he's here. It's three games. Let me wait, you got
Speaker 1: three games coming up and then you have a bye week.
Speaker 1: I know that everybody looks back and goes, hey, they
Speaker 1: want eleven in a row to start this season. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and they almost beat Cleveland in a playoff game. I
Speaker 1: got all of that. I wouldn't overreact to Ben to
Speaker 1: the point where I go, who are we putting in there.
Speaker 1: When do we plan the retirement ceremony? Like, let's just
Speaker 1: wait a little bit here and then maybe it's not
Speaker 1: gonna work out. But why didn't you get Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: sixth round draft pick? He can play, and he can
Speaker 1: be a bridge quarterback and you can make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I believe with Gardner Minshew. But here you are ready
Speaker 1: to go. Let's move on from Ben Roethlisberger. Let me
Speaker 1: wait a little bit here, all right? So I would
Speaker 1: say Ben will end his career because he's not gonna
Speaker 1: play elsewhere. Yeah, Seaton, why aren't the Falcons any good?
Speaker 1: I don't know what is it? What is That's like
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mysteries to me in NFL history
Speaker 1: is why twenty eight to three, Seaton? They aren't winning
Speaker 1: lots of games? Twenty eight to three? Because I was
Speaker 1: starting to think, you're like dies, Mattie Ice finish his
Speaker 1: career there, and in my head I was thinking, no,
Speaker 1: you know what, he might want to pull a Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: go someplace he can get some weapons around him, and
Speaker 1: he get oh wait, that's Atlanta. Yeah, oh wait. He
Speaker 1: kind of had that his whole career. Yeah. They drafted
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. I mean, and I know I've said I
Speaker 1: thought Atlanta could be one of those borderline playoff teams.
Speaker 1: I thought that they would be a lot more competitive
Speaker 1: than people think. It's only three games. It's only three games,
Speaker 1: three weeks. That's it. We're gonna look back in ten
Speaker 1: weeks and go, man, we thought that there'll be some crazy,
Speaker 1: crazy declarations. They were already every week you gotta have
Speaker 1: a hot take. But I would just let's let's slow
Speaker 1: down just a little bit here. After three games. What
Speaker 1: if the Buccaneers are two and two after four games?
Speaker 1: What if they lose to New England? How do people
Speaker 1: react to that? What if the Chiefs lose another game
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, how are we going
Speaker 1: to react to that? Vegas still says the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: the favorites for the Super Bowl, followed by Tampa back
Speaker 1: and that's right, that's correct, because let me see how
Speaker 1: it plays out with the Rams be you know, let
Speaker 1: me let me get ten games in, see how they play.
Speaker 1: How healthy are they? How's the rest of the division.
Speaker 1: That's where you know, people don't handicap. Wait when this seat,
Speaker 1: before this season started, and people thought Aaron Rodgers, he's
Speaker 1: going to come back, he's gonna play, and he's on
Speaker 1: his redemption revenge tour, and that you're going to just
Speaker 1: plug in thirteen wins. And I said, didnaybody look at
Speaker 1: the schedule like it's a tough schedule. And if they
Speaker 1: won eleven, I think Vegas had them at ten or
Speaker 1: eleven maybe at the most. It's hard, hard to win
Speaker 1: those games, even Dallas in a bad division. Should they
Speaker 1: win twelve games, probably or it's not out of the
Speaker 1: realm of possibilities in my opinion. Not a difficult schedule,
Speaker 1: not a difficult division. And you seem to have a
Speaker 1: good enough offense to cover up what you may lack
Speaker 1: on defense. But by the way, the Mike McCarthy calling
Speaker 1: a time out clock management m Peyton Manning said this
Speaker 1: on Monday night where we're all watching and we're all
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. Uh, Mike got a called time out,
Speaker 1: here's Peyton Manning. Dallas needs to call time out. I
Speaker 1: don't think they if I don't know if Philly's got
Speaker 1: to go for it or not? Right time out? Mike, know, yeah,
Speaker 1: just thinking about it. Why someone in his ears you
Speaker 1: have like the clock management guy saying, hey, we can't
Speaker 1: call it here, it's not well. Last week they couldn't
Speaker 1: see the clock with the chargers. They couldn't even see
Speaker 1: the clock. So maybe tonight they can't see it either.
Speaker 1: They are playing at home. But I guess they're gonna
Speaker 1: be happy with twenty to seven. Okay, it feels like
Speaker 1: Peyton and Eli made this a bigger deal. By the way,
Speaker 1: does Peyton Manning sound a little bit like Jimmy Stewart
Speaker 1: the Great actor? Could you give me a little bit?
Speaker 1: Mike needs to call it time out? Yea, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta college a time. I'm there. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he's thinking. I don't I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think he thinks that, ohmha. I don't think he thinks
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna go for it. Dallas needs to
Speaker 1: call time out. I don't think they probably don't know
Speaker 1: if Philly's gonna go for it or not right time out? Mike, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's thinking about it. Why someone someone in his ears?
Speaker 1: You have, like the clock management guy saying hey, we
Speaker 1: can't call it here, it's not well. Last week they
Speaker 1: couldn't see the clock with the chargers. They couldn't even
Speaker 1: see the cloths. Well, I couldn't say so, so sorry,
Speaker 1: what's the big idea, mister, mister potter. Oh all right,
Speaker 1: here's Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner, on Mike McCarthy's clock management.
Speaker 1: Other teams have issues with clock management. That's part of
Speaker 1: the game, and so let's let's cut things some slack
Speaker 1: and realize that if you do enough plays. We were
Speaker 1: critical of Garrett when he was here, and don't you
Speaker 1: think that goes with the territior. I know firsthand Mike's
Speaker 1: capability he saym have know how he approached it to
Speaker 1: logic that he uses, and I'm not a bit concerned
Speaker 1: about his ability to manage a tight situation. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear that other coaches or other teams have issue.
Speaker 1: I only care about my coach. That's it. It's like
Speaker 1: when your kid uses an excuse to say, well, somebody
Speaker 1: else is allowed to do this, or they got in trouble,
Speaker 1: and then you'd always say, well, if somebody jumped off
Speaker 1: a cliff, would you jump off a cliff? That My
Speaker 1: parents would always say that, yeah, if Steve Wolfe jumped
Speaker 1: off a cliff, would you jump off a cliff? Wolf
Speaker 1: was an issue yeah, he was ours was the brooklyn Bridge. Well,
Speaker 1: if he jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you go. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't care about anybody else's clock management. I care
Speaker 1: about my coach and do I think it's a big issue. No,
Speaker 1: But is it an issue when a game is on
Speaker 1: the line or time is winding down and it's only
Speaker 1: the first half. But it was at the end of
Speaker 1: the game against the Chargers, I couldn't see the clock. Okay,
Speaker 1: at what point do you say during the game when
Speaker 1: you're coaching, I can't see the clock. I need somebody
Speaker 1: to help me because you might say, look, my sightline
Speaker 1: is not good with this new stadium. I need somebody
Speaker 1: to keep me honest because we're watching that game when
Speaker 1: we're going mack. He just letting us tick down, tick down,
Speaker 1: and then admitted afterwards I couldn't see the cluck. Yeah, Pully,
Speaker 1: it's possible. Jerry Jones is not familiar with the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and Mike McCarthy's history of the clock management,
Speaker 1: because any Packers ban listening right now, I will tell
Speaker 1: you that was one of the biggest chips against him
Speaker 1: during his time there. He had a bunch of those
Speaker 1: back in the Green Bay day and it's really possible
Speaker 1: that you know, Jerry doesn't know. He doesn't watch a
Speaker 1: lot of Packers games on the side back in the day. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: to me it would be a big deal. I want
Speaker 1: my coach to be you know, it's all about detail
Speaker 1: the NFL. When you coach is attention to detail because
Speaker 1: the smallest thing will help you win or it can
Speaker 1: cost you. Again somewhere down the road, Age seven seven
Speaker 1: three D P show email ADDRESSDP at Dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at DP show. By the way, the latest
Speaker 1: episode of that scene. I talked with Bill Burr about
Speaker 1: his role in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian and
Speaker 1: fans push back because he had a Boston accent. Here's
Speaker 1: Bill Burr. I've gotten pretty much nothing but positive reviews.
Speaker 1: I did get some crap about my accent with someone's
Speaker 1: like I've never heard of Boston accent and outer space
Speaker 1: and I was just like, well, how about English. Doesn't
Speaker 1: it seem weird that that you would travel that far
Speaker 1: away from Earth and everyone's speaking English. C three po
Speaker 1: has an English accent? Say stop it. You just know
Speaker 1: that that's where I'm from, because the reality is, I
Speaker 1: don't have a Boston accent. I have a slight one,
Speaker 1: but I have an East Coast sort of. But they're
Speaker 1: making it seem like I was, you know, out there
Speaker 1: being like, you know, dude, grab your lightsaber. We talked
Speaker 1: about a lot of things, including his approach to acting
Speaker 1: and how different that is from stand up and you
Speaker 1: can check it out the entire interview Amazon dot com
Speaker 1: Slash that scene with Bill bur Fred in West Virginia. Hi, Fred,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey? DP, appreciate you guys
Speaker 1: taking my call. First time caller, a long time listener.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say a couple of things about Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said. Number one, I think
Speaker 1: that for years Ben has come in to the start
Speaker 1: of the season not in shape, and it takes in
Speaker 1: three or four games to get in shape. Okay. Second one,
Speaker 1: if he had taught me John surgery and I'm a
Speaker 1: Steeler fan. I love Ben. I love the room. He's whatever.
Speaker 1: It sure doesn't look like his arm doesn't look much stronger,
Speaker 1: and when Narraiders were pounding the heck out of him,
Speaker 1: he looked terrible. I mean you could tell every hit
Speaker 1: he got he felt. I'm not sure whether the Steelers
Speaker 1: have done what they normally do, don't be wrong. A
Speaker 1: perfect organization, great organization, but I think he dropped the
Speaker 1: ball with Ben here. I do too. I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: brought him back, but they brought him back at a discount,
Speaker 1: and for some reason, I guess they think or they
Speaker 1: thought obviously that hey, we can make another playoff run.
Speaker 1: I just think with the number of quarterbacks who were available,
Speaker 1: and then you took a running back and Naji Harris
Speaker 1: might be turned out to be a very good running back,
Speaker 1: but he's a first round draft pick at that position.
Speaker 1: Did you need a little more help on the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Was there somebody there you could have gotten that would
Speaker 1: have helped you. Ben cannot do this without a really
Speaker 1: good offensive line. And I think that as much as
Speaker 1: we like that defense and they got playmakers there be
Speaker 1: Ben is not moving. He's not moving around at all,
Speaker 1: not that he could, but he gets it out quickly
Speaker 1: there there. You know, their average yard per you know,
Speaker 1: per play is probably among the lowest as far as
Speaker 1: pass plays. It's very quick, and he he targeted Nag
Speaker 1: Harris I think seventeen times. That shouldn't be your go
Speaker 1: to guy unless you're just trying to have two yards,
Speaker 1: three yards, five yards. Yes, mcgloban. Do you remember in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen they big bang got hurt and they went
Speaker 1: around and traded for Minca Fitzpatrick. They gave up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they're like, we're not going to tank. He's bigger.
Speaker 1: They could have tanked that year and drafted a quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Fitzpatrick who has been really good for them. But
Speaker 1: you know, they thought they had magic last year. And
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of analysts who looked
Speaker 1: at the Steelers and said they're undefeated, but they're not invincible.
Speaker 1: They're not a great team. But is that like when
Speaker 1: the Giants took sa kuon Barkleaves. I thought they could
Speaker 1: get one more run out of Eli. Yeah, like at
Speaker 1: some point you got to start over a quarterback. I know,
Speaker 1: And I hey, I was all in on the Giant
Speaker 1: steak and say Quon because I thought, okay, that helps.
Speaker 1: Elion got a safety valve. You got a team that
Speaker 1: looks like and they spent all that money on their defense.
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, there's some magic here. They might be
Speaker 1: able to pull this off. Obviously it didn't go as scripted. Yes,
Speaker 1: pointing how much could this be about loyalty? Tomlins got
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's been there, and I know he won
Speaker 1: Super Bowls a long time ago, where Rothsburger has two.
Speaker 1: If you remember the last few years of Dan Marino
Speaker 1: in South Florida, they should have moved on from Dan Marino,
Speaker 1: but he's a huge legend, a first ballot Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: and that was back in the day when they didn't
Speaker 1: replace guys. This is kind of anti Bill Belichick, anti
Speaker 1: teams moving on. But that is a loyal franchise. You know,
Speaker 1: they've had what three head coaches, and maybe to a fault,
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants to the same way. I thought
Speaker 1: that they held on to Eli too long, loyal to
Speaker 1: a fault and then you wake up and you go,
Speaker 1: now what do we do? And then you got to
Speaker 1: start over again. Those franchises aren't used to starting over,
Speaker 1: you know, rebuilding, reloading. There's a big difference. Yeah, mclubbing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then you have guys like Kyle Shannon and I think
Speaker 1: famously want a new quarterback every six weeks. You know
Speaker 1: John Gruden. Yeah, John Gruden's got Derek Carr playing at
Speaker 1: an MVP level, and John Gruden would probably say, Man,
Speaker 1: I'd love to have Aaron Rodgers or I'd love to
Speaker 1: have Kylerton. You know, no, John is never happy with
Speaker 1: the quarterback he has. It feels like and he's won,
Speaker 1: he won the super Bowl. He didn't have a great
Speaker 1: quarterback when he won the super Bowl. Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting to see the options that you just mentioned Shanahan.
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is having a nice season, but his future is
Speaker 1: not there. A team like the Steelers could pick him
Speaker 1: up for a what I don't know what a third
Speaker 1: round draft choice, and he's not that terribly expensive. I
Speaker 1: remember talking to somebody who knows Sam Darnold, and I
Speaker 1: think he thought that Pittsburgh was a viable opportunity for
Speaker 1: him because he could go there. If they didn't keep Ben,
Speaker 1: then you got somebody you can put in. And also
Speaker 1: if he was going to be the backup, because Ben
Speaker 1: would know that he had one more year. But you know,
Speaker 1: you go, hey Washington doesn't Dwayne Haskins, Let's take him.
Speaker 1: I still Gardner Minshew makes more sense, or at least
Speaker 1: it's a sixth round draft pick for a guy that
Speaker 1: I think would would keep you in playoff contention. If
Speaker 1: they would decide to go to the bench. All Right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. We'll get some more phone calls
Speaker 1: coming up. We'll talk about the Lakers media day where
Speaker 1: yes Age was the big topic of conversation. When we return,
Speaker 1: he's the winning his coach in Notre Dame history. Brian

Speaker 1: Notre Dame beat Wisconsin forty one thirteen. It's one of
Speaker 1: those games where I went, man, it's pretty close. Then
Speaker 1: I walked away, did something else. I came back and
Speaker 1: I go, WHOA. This got out of hand quickly. Notre
Speaker 1: Dame will host Cincinnati on Saturday. With that when Brian
Speaker 1: Kelly became the winning is head coach in Notre Dame
Speaker 1: history with win number one oh six, breaking the previous
Speaker 1: record held by Newton Rockety. The Hall of Famer Brian
Speaker 1: Kelly joining us on the program. How did you celebrate
Speaker 1: that victory? Coach? Pumper traffic getting out of Chicago on
Speaker 1: our bus? You know it's and dip this pizza from
Speaker 1: Chicago on the bus. So it was kind of neat
Speaker 1: because it took me back to my roots as a
Speaker 1: Division two head coach bus rides. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: a Triple A baseball. We took the bus back from
Speaker 1: Chicago to South Bend and got a chance to be
Speaker 1: on the bus with the guys, So it was real.
Speaker 1: It felt great to be able to celebrate it on
Speaker 1: a bus ride back to South Bend with with your
Speaker 1: teammates and your coaches. Did how many times have you
Speaker 1: gone into a game not thinking you could win that game? Who?
Speaker 1: Not many? H You know, I've coached, you know, well
Speaker 1: over three hundred games, and I can't remember many that
Speaker 1: I've gone in and said we have no chance of
Speaker 1: winning this game. Um, maybe I could probably come on
Speaker 1: my hand where I felt like it was that overwhelming
Speaker 1: odds against our football team, and and now, truth be told,
Speaker 1: there were probably way more many games than that. It's
Speaker 1: just I'm just not wired that way. I just go
Speaker 1: in thinking that we're going to find a way to win.
Speaker 1: But at Notre Dame, have you felt like that if
Speaker 1: it was a playoff game, did you think, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like her. Even though you want
Speaker 1: to win, you you coach to win, But is there
Speaker 1: in back of your mind you're like, I hope this
Speaker 1: doesn't get out of hand. Um. Maybe in two thousand
Speaker 1: and twelve the Alabama Notre Dame National championship game, I
Speaker 1: knew we were in a you know, an uphill climb there.
Speaker 1: We were only three years and into rebuilding the program here,
Speaker 1: and you know we got there quickly, uh with with
Speaker 1: playing for a championship, and you know that Alabama team
Speaker 1: was obviously one of the best in a long long time.
Speaker 1: That a lot of things would have had to gone
Speaker 1: right there. So that was probably the one time when
Speaker 1: I was at Notre Dame where I felt like, this
Speaker 1: is going to be an uphill climb. And it's almost
Speaker 1: like you guys were ahead of schedule and you got
Speaker 1: to that national title game because you know, people talk about, Okay,
Speaker 1: can Notre Dame you know have the speed? You know,
Speaker 1: can they can they match the offensive and defensive lines
Speaker 1: of SEC teams? And how do you how do you
Speaker 1: go out and try to establish that at Notre Dame. Well,
Speaker 1: we still have to recruit to our profile and so
Speaker 1: it's player development. Uh, it's it's the ability to recruit
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame at a higher level than we had
Speaker 1: been recruiting up to that point, and then developing your
Speaker 1: players over a long period of time. And you know,
Speaker 1: the last two drafts, we've had ten players drafted that's
Speaker 1: as high as Alabama and Ohio State, and that's where
Speaker 1: we need to be to have the kind of players
Speaker 1: necessary to compete at that stage. So it wasn't three
Speaker 1: years into it that we were having that kind of
Speaker 1: depth in drafts, and so we knew that we were
Speaker 1: there early, like you said, and it just requires more
Speaker 1: time in recruiting. Uh. And you've got to win, right,
Speaker 1: We couldn't just celebrate our past success. We had the
Speaker 1: wins and that attracts obviously the kids to come to
Speaker 1: Notre Dame as well. How long do you plan on coaching.
Speaker 1: You know, I've never said this is the day that
Speaker 1: I'm going to stop coaching, because I love the relationships.
Speaker 1: I love eighteen to twenty one year old players that
Speaker 1: are growing every day, making mistakes, learning from them. That's
Speaker 1: what that's what's exciting. Everybody was asking me about the
Speaker 1: Wisconsin win and breaking Rocketes record, and I totally understand
Speaker 1: that because it's such a milestone, but I was I
Speaker 1: was so excited about some of our younger players and
Speaker 1: how they grew in that game. And that's the honest truth.
Speaker 1: So that's what keeps me going. And if I'm if
Speaker 1: they're still listening to me, Dan and I'm still excited,
Speaker 1: I'll keep coaching for as long as they keep listening.
Speaker 1: How do you keep up with younger kids like eighteen
Speaker 1: year old? How do you really late to an eighteen
Speaker 1: year old? I think you have to stay close to them,
Speaker 1: and you can't be locked up in meeting rooms. You've
Speaker 1: got to be in the training room with them. You've
Speaker 1: got to be in the player's lounge in the locker room.
Speaker 1: But you're not going to TikTok dances or anything like that,
Speaker 1: are you? No? I don't think you have to, but
Speaker 1: you better know TikTok, and you better know current trends
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I've got some college age kids myself,
Speaker 1: and I said this the other day in a press conference.
Speaker 1: When when I hear, you know, some urban slang, I'll
Speaker 1: immediately text my college age kids and ask them what
Speaker 1: that means, just so I could stay current on what's
Speaker 1: going on. What coach did you take the most from them?
Speaker 1: Try to emulate? You know, Dan, I've been asked this
Speaker 1: question a lot. I don't know that I emulated anybody
Speaker 1: as much as you know. There were so many mentors
Speaker 1: in my life grown up, because I was a head
Speaker 1: coach at twenty eight years old, and I was so
Speaker 1: focused on trying to figure out, you know, who I
Speaker 1: was and what I was doing, that I just I
Speaker 1: would listen to anybody, anybody that I respected, whether you
Speaker 1: were coach or not, a parent, somebody in our office,
Speaker 1: anybody that I had respect for. I was listening to
Speaker 1: them and trying to build my own identity and philosophy
Speaker 1: as a young coach. How important was it to schedule
Speaker 1: a game with Cincinnati? Well, I don't know that there
Speaker 1: was an importance. I've I felt like you know, when
Speaker 1: we were talking about scheduling future opponents, I'm like, why
Speaker 1: don't we get Central Michigan where I coached and we
Speaker 1: won a championship, and let's get Cincinnati and and get
Speaker 1: them on the schedule as well, just because I just
Speaker 1: felt like a sense of, you know, thank you for
Speaker 1: the opportunity to that that I got to coach there. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not as excited about that decision in playing since
Speaker 1: it adding now you know, it's a great program and
Speaker 1: Luke's done a great job there and uh, you know
Speaker 1: it's it turns out now it's gonna be a great matchup.
Speaker 1: Were you Patriot fan growing up? I am, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I still am. Uh do you have any conversations with Belichick?
Speaker 1: I do, Yeah, I will stay close. Yeah, we've stayed
Speaker 1: close over the years. How often do you talk to him?
Speaker 1: Probably every every couple of months. And you're talking, You're
Speaker 1: you're acting like Belichick. Now you're not answering. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a long winded question here, Brian like, well, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about games, you know, Uh, you know, he'll text
Speaker 1: me about how we've played, and I'll I'll text him
Speaker 1: back and and you know, it's it's for all related stuff,
Speaker 1: certainly about how we're doing. And we work a lot
Speaker 1: together with our foundations as well, and that's really what's
Speaker 1: gotten us close. Um My wife and his fiance are
Speaker 1: really close in terms of working their foundations together. So
Speaker 1: that's how that relationship formed and we've stayed in contact
Speaker 1: because of that. But when Notre Dame plays Navy, is
Speaker 1: he rooting for Navy. He's got a deep relationship with Navy.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt there. You know, it goes back with
Speaker 1: his dad and where he was from. And I think
Speaker 1: he stays out of the rooting business. He's much more
Speaker 1: into how games are played tactically, and you know, and
Speaker 1: I think you guys see that from your perspective too.
Speaker 1: He doesn't get too emotional about who he's pulling for
Speaker 1: as much as how the game's played. I think he
Speaker 1: ends up at Navy when he's done with the NFL
Speaker 1: for some reason. I hope because we play. That would
Speaker 1: not be that would be one reason for us not
Speaker 1: to play. And all of a sudden, Notre Dame is
Speaker 1: taking Navy off its schedule, no doubt. And you're going
Speaker 1: to Vegas next year. We are. We're really excited about that,
Speaker 1: and I know, you know our Shamrocks series, which travels
Speaker 1: around the country and plays in you know, great venues,
Speaker 1: this venue, Allegiate Stadium, and playing in Vegas. You know,
Speaker 1: we're playing BYU It's it's it's going to be a
Speaker 1: great environment. We're really looking forward to it. Great to
Speaker 1: talk to you, and good luck against Cincinnati. And congratulations,
Speaker 1: Thanks Dan, thanks for having me on. That's Brian Kelly,
Speaker 1: Notre Dame head coach, the winning is coach in Notre
Speaker 1: Dame history. All of a sudden, I asked about Belichick
Speaker 1: and he started answering questions like Belichick, like, come on, coach,
Speaker 1: you don't have to answer questions like him. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say, we're onto Cincinnati here, I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: Thursday night game on the NFL NFL network. What's what
Speaker 1: game is that this week? Oh? Come on, Paul being
Speaker 1: foe the Bengals and the Jags. Come on, I am.
Speaker 1: I wasn't excited about Carolina. I have to admit I
Speaker 1: was not. You know, hey, let's tune in to watch
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Okay, then Christie McCaffrey gets hurt and I go,
Speaker 1: not that much to see here? Cincinnati Joe Burrow, Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase Bengals are two and one Jags? Do they get
Speaker 1: a win? Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Urban Meyer recruited Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow leaves wins the Heisman National Title Game? How
Speaker 1: am I doing? Am I selling it? Yeah? Seven and
Speaker 1: a half? Your Bengals are given seven and a half
Speaker 1: of the Jag Yeah, yes, MC. Do the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 1: by the way, have a bit of an AFC south field,
Speaker 1: Yes they do. They have that color scheme, guys, they do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, this weekend a game everyone's excited for
Speaker 1: New England and Tampa Bay. How about Indianapolis Colts at
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. That's basically an inner squad scrimmage. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm serious, Like that might as well be a preseason
Speaker 1: practice where they get together. I think I could top it.
Speaker 1: How about the Washington football team at the Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: That is also that's a similar feel, But I mean
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Miami, they had the same players. They just go
Speaker 1: back and forth. Jacobe Prictt, which seems to quarterback and
Speaker 1: who cares, I don't know it's true. How about Titans Jeff,
Speaker 1: don't you feel like Jaguars Bengals is right in that mix? No?
Speaker 1: I mean if if Jaguars Bengals was a one o'clock
Speaker 1: game this weekend, you probably wouldn't watch. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: have to. That game should be noon on the Big
Speaker 1: ten networks. Yea, they should have that on Saturday at noon.
Speaker 1: When I remember Washington played the Giants on Thursday night
Speaker 1: the other day, I was thinking myself, if this is
Speaker 1: one o'clock on Sunday, how many people are going to
Speaker 1: tune into that? National? I know, Tampa, New England is
Speaker 1: obviously the big one. Arizona at the Rams Rams? Is
Speaker 1: there a little bit of a letdown after the win
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay Cardinals three and o Rams three and oz.
Speaker 1: How about Carolina at Dallas? Carolina's defense Panthers undefeated, Um,
Speaker 1: they're they're not allowing many points, ten points a game.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at green Bay, the last stand for Ben all right,
Speaker 1: Colts Miami all right? Maybe not just some of the
Speaker 1: other games are yeah points, Lions up, Bears, Bears, everybody.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's that bad. You know, I
Speaker 1: think we care because we want to see if Justin
Speaker 1: Fields is going to play. I guess he's got a
Speaker 1: hand injury. But I thought the lines were going to
Speaker 1: beat the Ravens last week. I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is one of those that they just demoralized and maybe
Speaker 1: Justin Fields looks good. Is he gonna play or is
Speaker 1: it gonna be Nick Foles in there? Maybe use all
Speaker 1: three at the same time. Have three quarterbacks on the
Speaker 1: field at the same time. Yeah, I'm pretty excited for
Speaker 1: my Eagles. They only have twenty seven players injured and
Speaker 1: they're going out against a very angry Chiefs team this
Speaker 1: week on a short week. That's great, you know, after
Speaker 1: the Phillies lose. This is great stuff for Philly Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Rams I think is sneaky good. I think gets sneaky good.

Speaker 1: you can't return. Yeah, yeah, that that doesn't that's not included. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you don't like Todd's limericks, then I can't guarantee
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee entertainment with Todd's limericks. Yes, time, but
Speaker 1: it still works. I say, if you're lazy, you don't
Speaker 1: want to bother going to a card store and thing
Speaker 1: with that. At the very least, it's all right there
Speaker 1: for you to stend out, whether you actually like them
Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, it's a bundle of limericks. That means
Speaker 1: if you want to send out a card for somebody's birthday,
Speaker 1: his or hers, Hanakkah, Christmas, New Year, or win or lose,
Speaker 1: we celebrate the bundle of limericks. You don't have to
Speaker 1: buy greeting cards the rest of the year. They're right there,
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com. Yes, point. And have you ever
Speaker 1: not gotten your wife a card on our birthday or anniversary?
Speaker 1: And the fallout from that? Yeah, you could have a
Speaker 1: present no card? Yeah, the fall outs big yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: seton And I like that Todd is taking it upon
Speaker 1: himself to turn Thanksgiving into a card related holiday. Most
Speaker 1: people don't give cards for Thanksgiving. It's not a very
Speaker 1: pivate Todd. No getting right in there. Time has come.
Speaker 1: If there's if there's a Peanuts gang, you know TV
Speaker 1: show about it, then it deserves I think some kind
Speaker 1: of a good part of card. Thank you, Ton Paully
Speaker 1: today this morning. You know there are times when we
Speaker 1: have topics where you go, wow, I didn't think we
Speaker 1: would be getting upset about that, Polly goes. I got
Speaker 1: a take on the Bachelor, got a new host. So wait,
Speaker 1: you got a problem with Jesse Palmer who was on
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, and like, what's the what's the deal? So
Speaker 1: Jesse Palmer was an NFL quarterback. He was contestant on
Speaker 1: The Bachelor or whatever you call it. And it's fair
Speaker 1: to say he's an extremely good looking guy. Is that
Speaker 1: collective wisdom? I call him a handsome I would say
Speaker 1: extremely handsome. Is that fair type? I just put it
Speaker 1: that way. I think like starting quarterbacks on backup because
Speaker 1: he's not really my type either, but he's a good
Speaker 1: looking guy. Yeah, okay, yeah, extremely okay. I think it's
Speaker 1: a great move for Jesse for his career. It's a
Speaker 1: great franchise. He's gonna make a lot of though everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna love him. This is terrible by the Bachelor franchise.
Speaker 1: One of the things that's most important on the Bachelor
Speaker 1: is that the host is not better looking than the Bachelor.
Speaker 1: And the odds are now that the host, Jesse Palmer,
Speaker 1: is better looking than the guy competing with all the women.
Speaker 1: So when the thirty women are there getting sauced up
Speaker 1: in the house in Los Angeles, they're gonna and at
Speaker 1: the Rose ceremonies going on, they're looking right past Jimmy
Speaker 1: Jimmerson and right towards the hunky Canadian Jesse Palmer. The
Speaker 1: one great thing about Chris Harrison was he was average looking.
Speaker 1: He wasn't bad looking, he wasn't great looking. He'll admit
Speaker 1: that he's a nice looking guy. He's clean cut yet
Speaker 1: good hair. But he wasn't threatening to the bachelor. That
Speaker 1: is a terrible move. Great for Jesse Palmer, bad for
Speaker 1: the concept. It would be weird if they had a
Speaker 1: bachelorette episode and then she walked over and gave Jesse
Speaker 1: Palmer arose like that happened. That that would be a
Speaker 1: little bit weird. But is Jesse married? Oh no, he'd
Speaker 1: better be. I met his girlfriend in New York. He's
Speaker 1: about to have thirty new ones. Yea, at least I
Speaker 1: went to dinner with him one night in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1: You just you had women walking by just wanting to
Speaker 1: get noticed by Jesse Palmer. I'm going, dude, what is
Speaker 1: going on? He goes, yeah, I know. I'm like, oh God,
Speaker 1: a woman dropped off her phone number at our table.
Speaker 1: We're just sitting there talking and I don't know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, and all of a sudden, this woman goes,
Speaker 1: I really loved you on the Bachelor game phone number.
Speaker 1: I go really, He goes, yeah, yeah, he's a real ceremonies.
Speaker 1: The girl's gonna walk the wrong direction. I know now
Speaker 1: this is this is a long time ago that I
Speaker 1: was with Jesse and we were in Santa Monica. Not
Speaker 1: nothing recent. Yes, yes, I see him as engaged to
Speaker 1: Emily Fardo, which you're not gonna believe what she does
Speaker 1: for a living. She's a model. Yes, she certainly looked
Speaker 1: like a model when I met her in New York. Yes,
Speaker 1: a very very nice woman. But okay, yes, and uh,
Speaker 1: I wish Jesse nothing but success there only he's gonna
Speaker 1: have access on there. Uh let me see. Oh, I
Speaker 1: was gonna bring this up with the Lakers had their
Speaker 1: media day, and age, of course, was a big topic
Speaker 1: that came up. I'll talk about this coming up at
Speaker 1: the top of the arm we'll hear from Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. They talk about and this is going to
Speaker 1: be an issue, and rightfully so. Lebron said that he
Speaker 1: got vaccinated, wasn't sure if he was going to get vaccinated,
Speaker 1: but got vaccinated. But he's not going to be a
Speaker 1: spokesperson for other players getting vaccinated. And I think it's
Speaker 1: tricky because, you know, Lebron has to have an opinion
Speaker 1: on everything. It feels like like now we expect him
Speaker 1: to have one, and for you know, most causes, he
Speaker 1: will give an opinion. This one, he's sort of staying
Speaker 1: in the shadows because here's Kyrie, who's got a powerful
Speaker 1: position with the Players Association, and Kyrie is not all
Speaker 1: in on getting vaccinated, although there are reports that some
Speaker 1: of his teammates are trying to get him to get
Speaker 1: vaccinated so he can play home games this year. And
Speaker 1: Lebron said, hey, look, I want to win championships. What's
Speaker 1: the best way to get a championship? Everybody stays healthy.
Speaker 1: That's why I got vaccinated. Yeah, Paul, first time Kyrie's
Speaker 1: ever passed up a shot. Wow, Wow, that's pretty good,
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good. I like that. And then you
Speaker 1: got Wiggins with Golden State, you still have the drama.
Speaker 1: I had a former coach, we got into the Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons discussion. We were gonna have Ray Allen on today.
Speaker 1: Couldn't do it. He's going to join us tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: want to know if he could help Ben Simmons with
Speaker 1: his shot, how would he help Ben Simmons with his shot?
Speaker 1: And I was talking to this former NBA coach, assistant coach,
Speaker 1: and I said, so where's Ben end up? And he goes, well,
Speaker 1: he once the offense built around him. That's not going
Speaker 1: to happen in Portland. That won't happen in Sacramento. That
Speaker 1: won't happen in Washington. And I said, well, where can
Speaker 1: it happen? He goes, maybe Houston, But you know Houston,
Speaker 1: it's got a rookie who is good. You know it's
Speaker 1: going to be built around him more so than it
Speaker 1: would be Ben Simmons. I was told, you keep talking
Speaker 1: about Golden State on your show. He goes, I don't
Speaker 1: see that happening because Ben does. Ben wants the offense surrounding.
Speaker 1: He wants to be the offense. And you know he
Speaker 1: doesn't like playing with Joe LMB because it all funnels
Speaker 1: into Joe LMB. Ben wants to get on the break,
Speaker 1: he wants to take it down the lane, and you
Speaker 1: know that's really important to him. And I said, well
Speaker 1: where does he end up? And he goes. I think
Speaker 1: he would make Bradley Beale a better player, but Bradley
Speaker 1: Beale is going to be the main guy. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: he's not going to be traded for Damian Lillard. Portland
Speaker 1: has terrible defense, so does Sacramento. He could help both
Speaker 1: of those teams. I just don't know. Are you given
Speaker 1: up Daron Fox? And if you are, do you want
Speaker 1: him in Philadelphia? Like you're trying to make this fit.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the difficult part here. If this
Speaker 1: is a power play by Ben Simmons. But this happens
Speaker 1: every year in the NBA, somebody will go, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to play for you. I don't want to go there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Ben Simmons can find the right
Speaker 1: place for him. I think he can find a team,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be the place
Speaker 1: where he goes. Now I can go out there and
Speaker 1: get thirty points a game. Now I can be the
Speaker 1: guy who dominates a game. I think it is mind
Speaker 1: from what I'm told, that's that's what he wants to do.
Speaker 1: That's who he thinks he is in the NBA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: based off what you're reading and hearing, do you think
Speaker 1: he wants to play a pure point guard position. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's called a point it wouldn't be. I
Speaker 1: think it's a hybrid but outside to inside, outside first
Speaker 1: to inside, more like a Magic Johnson in his heyday,
Speaker 1: outside first, inside second, great postability. No, I think he
Speaker 1: wants to. I think he wants to have the ability
Speaker 1: to get ahead of steam, to beat you to the hoops. A.
Speaker 1: He's not a shooter, obviously, but he loves that in transition,
Speaker 1: he's wonderful. But you know, I this assistant coach, former
Speaker 1: assistant coach said, you know, even in a half court
Speaker 1: Ben can break you down off the dribble, like he
Speaker 1: really can be a matchup nightmare. It's just you know,
Speaker 1: and he knows he doesn't want to go to the
Speaker 1: free throw line and he's not going to take that jumper. Yeah. McLevin,
Speaker 1: he's had four years of averaging fifteen points a game
Speaker 1: and now he's a thirty point in game. Square Well,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing thirty points. I think I think he thinks
Speaker 1: he's a twenty five point a night guy. I think
Speaker 1: he thinks he's a twenty five eight and eight on
Speaker 1: an eighteen win team. Maybe well, I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: he's still twenty five eight and eight. What about the
Speaker 1: King's like he doesn't have a no trade clause? Why
Speaker 1: they don't From what I'm told, they don't want to
Speaker 1: trade Tyrese Haliburt. Oh okay, So yeah, And if I'm Philly,
Speaker 1: you know, do I want Daron Fox? Does he help you?
Speaker 1: What about like a Buddy Healed? Is he still there?
Speaker 1: He's still there? He's like I feel like every team
Speaker 1: needs a Buddy Healed. Everybody needs a buddy I love
Speaker 1: Buddy Healed. But yeah, Haliburton, I raar that buddy Healed
Speaker 1: than Russell Westbrook. They find the Lakers, But I do
Speaker 1: think Russ will help them during the regular seat. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about this coming up, but I do think Russ
Speaker 1: helps him during the regular season because he can take
Speaker 1: a little wear and tear off Lebron. But in the postseason,
Speaker 1: that's where I want to see. Is Russell Westbrook a winner?
Speaker 1: I know he's a guy who has a great stat line.
Speaker 1: Is he going to be that guy? You go? Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook Winner, More phone calls coming up. Final Hour on
