This is nick 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:17.079 shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:22.360 official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:35.839 and Nicky Spagnola. Well here, it is a Monday, not 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.400 a high noon. We are an hour early. It's eleven 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:44.519 am on a Monday, and I'm just happy my key 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.440 worked to get in the building. This is just any 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.440 other Monday, right now? You Monday Monday? In that the 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.360 Beatles in that the in that the Beatles's beatles. That's 0:00:55.440 --> 0:01:02.240 just another Were you worried that there there are other 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.400 keys have been taken away? There's a lot of other 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.520 keys have been taken away. When since we last convened 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.479 last Tuesday, has there been anything that's happened around here? 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.360 I think there were eight keys that were taking He's 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.000 taken away? Crazy, is it? That's right? Yeez? I was. 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:23.160 I was looking looking for my keys. Ever got a kid, right? Yeah? 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.880 I wondered if I was gonna be able to have 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.200 to knock away I did get in, how can I 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.759 get in? I had great confidence in myself. I hadn't 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.200 done anything wrong. Well, there's probably some of those that 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:41.080 get the keys taken away that I do exactly all right. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:45.000 And we have two Super Bowl teams that have been 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:50.920 determined now and so sixty years after one team left 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.360 the city of Dallas, they're going back to the Super Bowl. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:58.160 That would be the Dallas Texans. Yes, and it's a 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.640 routine for these guys, that's right, it's on the team 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.360 for him. Well, it's three out of the last four 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.640 years now that the Kansas City Chiefs had made it 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:12.600 and they're playing another team from the NFC East. And 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.560 what was the biggest play of the weekend? Each time 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.480 a quarterback got hit was knocked out of the game. Yeah, 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.520 it's the biggest play of the week. The biggest player 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.079 of the week, The biggest player of the weekend is 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:31.280 brock Party getting hurt. I think took all the drama 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.600 out of that. Again, we found out the teams with 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.400 the best offensive line when very good, couldn't protect a quarterback. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:45.200 Neither one of the losers San Francisco. How did that happen? 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.800 They were they couldn't protect anybody. Bring in the next 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.640 guy and he gets a concussion. Well, I mean you 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.200 could see how well our defense played against him that 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.360 they were going to have some problems. I don't care 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.360 if Pardy would have finished the game right, I think 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.399 he would have had major issues with him. And when 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.040 you look at the difference in the ball game, it 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.560 all had to do with what we did versus what 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.480 Jalen Hosts did not do. And let's turn over the ball, right, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.760 And once you do that and you play solid, you 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.200 played to your defense, and that defense handled their offense 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.240 just the way I would defense was handling their offense. 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.880 So I knew they were going to have a problem. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.920 I think Perdy was going to come back down the earth. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:31.400 That's why we all picked Philadelphia. That's right. Think about 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.120 the Dallas San Francisco game and really, as you said, 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.560 the turnovers were huge, and so you're playing from behind 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.320 rather than from ahead, which is what Philadelphia has been 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.680 able to do all season. But they in the second 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.960 half of that game, San Francisco was able to mount 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.920 a ninety one yard touchdown drive and it was a 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:57.280 thirty yard completion to bobbling completion to a reception by 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.560 a tight end who was on the backside of the play. 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.160 Wasn't one of the primary targets on the play. He 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.200 had checked down and he had been basically he was 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.680 he was guarded by those goals and exactly and Gallas 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.400 Jason kittled down the field and that put him in 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:16.240 position into four down territory you know, at midfield, and 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.839 they were able to uh And even with that, as 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.279 we talked about last week, Kittle made the smart play 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.120 getting into the grill of Donovan Wilson on a third 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.200 and eight play that negated a sack that would have 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.400 been a field goal attempt of about forty yards for 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.400 San Francisco, and said, they get a first down at 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.040 the ten yard line and they get the touchdown, which 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.040 was the difference of the game. They went by a touchdown. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.680 Why does that stuff happen to the Cowboys? Why? Because 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.120 with suckers, that's why. Why why he got he got suckered. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.080 Why didn't the Cowboys have a catch that wasn't a 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.960 catch and didn't get challenged? To me, that was the 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:58.680 play of how young when I see a white and 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.919 I don't think the white receiver they're smart enough to 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.680 fake it out, like when he gets up and say like, hey, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.760 let's go up. Have they had a signal right, it 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.719 was something yeah, yeah, we gotta snap it. That should 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:14.000 tell him even if I haven't seen it's okay, it's 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:20.280 a timeout being on time. It's not like it's going 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.680 to be a game winning drive. And I don't have it, 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.039 and it's like, challenge it. I mean, when he gets 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.400 up with that sense of urgence, yes, and he does 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.279 something like this and everybody's running to the line of scrimmages, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:37.200 I should tell you something. Challenge it. Oh gosh. And 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.720 then you know, and his you know, his explanation was, well, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.679 I never got to see it. Well, they're not gonna 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.200 show you that the really right. And TV didn't help 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.479 their guys in the in the box because they didn't 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.040 show the replay that showed it that the ball came 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.800 out until after the next play. So he was a 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.320 little bit hamstrung. But still just go ahead and challenge it. 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.600 It's such a big play early in the game. I 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.800 think Andy Reid challenged it, right, they did the same 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.839 kind of situation and he won or no, did he lose. 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.400 I can't. I don't remember that. I just remember he 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.719 challenged it in the San Francisco game. I what disappointed 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.960 me was how well, I saw that's Philly offensive line 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.680 handle the San Francisco defense, right. I mean, these guys 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.480 have been dominating all year long, and they just just 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.080 wore them down. As time went on, you could just 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.040 see them getting weaker and weaker. And of course the 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.240 turnovers didn't help at all in regards to San Francisco, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.479 but their defense would usually answer regardless. They couldn't answer 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.440 every bell this time. Too many quarterbacks going down, too 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.760 many turnovers, and it wasn't It didn't seem like they 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:58.599 were necessarily physically being handled. I think their spirit left after, like, okay, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:03.480 another fumble of the twelve and it's right, the fumble 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.000 at the end of the first half. I mean it's 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.520 a fourteen seven game and San Francisco is in shotgun. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.120 They've a minute, minute and half left. Whatever it was 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.360 they're thinking, Okay with even with Josh Johnson, who's changed 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.960 teams thirteen times in his career and was on the denverfield, 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.640 doesn't know how to take a snap, but he was 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.960 on the Denver practice squad last month. Okay, he hadn't 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.520 been with you all year, and he's going to against 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.840 the pass rush like that is going to engineer a 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.600 last minute drive to get you in field goal range. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.800 Just go to the house, Okay, just get to the house. Now, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.600 it was simply a shotgun snap that he fumbles. Okay, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.880 but that was huge. I mean, if if they get 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.680 to the house at halftime down fourteen seven, okay, even 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.920 without a quarterback, it's still you're one score game. But 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.040 but and even though he fumbled it because it was 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.680 right to him, he had the ball until his offensive 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:06.040 lineman stepped on offensive lineman stepped on it, he still 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:11.520 seemed to be hesitant. I didn't see him go with aggression. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.240 It was as if he was ashamed of to have 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.800 the ball, you know what I'm saying. But he's like, 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.200 you gotta bring it in, bro. I mean, he wasn't 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.160 bringing it in. He was kind of like, Okay, I 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.880 got it, guy, No, you have to bring that in. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.960 I mean, this is football. This is not like you're 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.720 kicking him down a water balloon. But you know that. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.000 But to take Bill's point, at that point it was 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.880 fourteen to seven, you just go in halftime, right this guy, 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.959 And why are we being aggressive here? And then you know, 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.760 and I think I don't remember if Olsen said or 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.560 not he goes, well, we're gonna find out. If they 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.360 get that first first down, then they're probably gonna go right, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.679 because they took over at like the I want to 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.760 say the twelve or something fourteen and then they got 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.200 the first down right, and then and it's like, okay, 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.719 here we go. What Josh Johnson, who by the way, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.480 came into the league at age twenty three in two 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.800 thousand and nine, and this was his fortieth game of 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.240 that he's gotten in gotten into in the NFL, won 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.960 an eight record as a starting quarterback in his thirteen years. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.239 And you know where his career was headed before yesterday, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.880 straight into the coach's office. That's where it was headed. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.880 He had a clipboard has already been put in his 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.400 hand more than a football. In his entire career, he's 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.079 had a clipboard probably in his hand more than these 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.000 had a football in his hand. So ten years in 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.120 the league, right, thirteen teams? Come on, man, Come on, 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.199 that means he's friend with San Francisco three times? Three times? Yeah, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.600 come on? That just waiting for him to just say, hey, 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.079 when you when do you need another integram coach? But 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:55.600 the point is your approach with playing Everson Walls at quarterback. 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.319 It would be the sixty three year old Everson Walls 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.079 at quarterback. You're not going to approach the game the 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.600 same as you would, right, obviously not. I can see 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.880 it wasn't. He did not. It's just, oh man, he was. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.280 I didn't know he had been in the league that long. 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.800 I knew, I knew the name when I saw the 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.199 number of teams that he had been with. You know, 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.280 I'll take it. I'll look at it this way. If 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.080 I've been with this many teams, I'm not gonna be scared. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.720 I mean, I'm gonna be out there ready the ball 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.000 because hell, I'm older than almost everybody out there. Okay, 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.320 why be afraid? All right, obviously we buried the lead story. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.439 Yes I know, and get back to where we So 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:44.719 let's get back to the point of emphasis that we 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.920 should have here, and that is to change us on 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.960 the coaching staff. We'll get back to the games too, 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.240 because they're fun to talk about. But it finally comes 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:59.800 down officially on Sunday night that Kellen Moore as mutually 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.959 agreed with the team the way that they it was 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:07.559 worded to part ways and Doug nuss Meyer as well, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.679 which makes now eight assistant coaches who have either not 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.120 had their contracts renewed or mutually agreed to part ways. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.960 So mutually meaning he had a year left on his contract, right, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.480 And it's like, okay, so I get paid for that year, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.839 and okay, fine, I'll go see if I can find 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.680 another job that's mutual. And there's a lot of offensive 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.080 coordinator openings around the league. It's gonna have no problem 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:39.480 finding a job. Yeah. The whole thing to me started 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:46.360 to be somewhat puzzling. And I heard Mike McCarthy during 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:52.280 his press conference on Thursday. Twice in the press conference, 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.040 the word came out of his mouth economics, and I'm 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.400 going economics. There's no salary cap on a coaching staff, right, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.040 And it sort of dawned on me that when that happened, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:12.079 that maybe somebody decided that we got too many coaches 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:17.679 twenty nine. Okay, I don't know what the norm is, 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.160 but it sounds like a lot of coaches. All I 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.520 know is I went back and looked in nineteen sixty six, 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.800 when the Cowboys went to the first NFL Championship game, 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:30.960 it was Tom Landry and five assistants. In nineteen seventy 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.720 one when they won the Super Bowl for the first time. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:38.360 It was time Landry and eight assistants twenty nine and 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:43.920 that included quality control analytics guys, you know, and some 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:50.160 positions had some assistant coaches. At a position had an 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.760 assistant to the assistant right, And so I don't know 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.319 if somebody decided it was too many or what. Well, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.120 if you look at the wiches outside, I mean I 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.800 would imagine it grows every year. If you look at 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.640 the team pictures, well I did go do that, and 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.280 you know what, but back in the sixties, they didn't 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.439 have the assistance in the picture. It was just the players. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.000 Give you an idea how many coaches there are. This 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.480 is my flip card from the preseason, which I keep 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.959 in my briefcase. Okay, on the backside of it is 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.560 all the information on all the assistant coaches on the team. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:29.000 It fills and took coaster board basically, and I was 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.439 about to go through it and mark out the ones 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.800 who are no longer here. I'm gonna have to do 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.960 this whole board again for the preseason games this year. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.920 You will have more room on that board, that's right. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.000 Did you did you include the consultant on there also, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:54.240 which which consultant? How many consultants do they have? Brian Schottenheimer, Yeah, 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.680 Brian Schotenheimer was not He didn't make your board. They 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.079 did not make it at that time. It was of 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.480 Jacksonville games when he made my board because he was 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.920 the offensive coordinator with Jacksonville last year. So yeah, so 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:18.240 twenty nine and I had a feeling when those guys 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:25.280 on offense were let go Pete And if you think 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.080 about it, the three main guys that were let go, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:35.080 like position coaches, Philbin, Pete and Edwards, they've been in 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.920 the league the longest, I think twenty five, twenty four, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.560 and nineteen years, So it was almost like, I don't 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.960 know if they were trying to get younger or if 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.080 they were trying to get new voices in the room. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:56.520 It brought me back to nineteen ninety seven when Switzer 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.600 got fired and all the assistants are most the majority 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.040 of them went along with him, and this hadn't even 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.320 happened yet. And I was walking down the hallway at 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.400 the Ranch and I ran into Ernie Sampeazy after they 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.080 lost the final six games of the season, and he 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.640 just looked at me and he goes, well, we're all 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.160 out of here, and I go, what do you mean? 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:22.480 He goes, well, you know, sometimes they quit listening to you, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.640 and you got to get a new voice in there. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.600 And he goes, and I got a feeling they quit 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.720 listening to us. And he goes, so we're gone. And 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.960 sure enough, like a day or two later, Switzer got 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.960 fired and everybody else got fired, and you know, and 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.400 Ernie was a really good coach, but they decided a 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.800 new voice. So I don't know if that was part 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.240 of it. I got a few guys got a theory, 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:50.760 but that's my theory that definitely entered my mind. You 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.240 look at the ages of the play of the coaches 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:58.520 that were let go. Rob Davis fifty four years old now, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.080 Kellen Moore is only thirty four. Doug nos Meyer's fifty two. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:08.040 Skip Pete turns fifty nine today. As a matter of Oh, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.360 happy birthday either fifty nine or sixty today January Today's 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:17.520 day January thirty, uh, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty Today's birthday, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:23.720 Happy birthday, Skip Pete. Yeah, Joe Philbin sixty one. Uh, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:30.280 let's see see Edward. George Edwards is fifty five. He 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.640 turned just turned fifty five, but I want to say 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.000 he was. He was in the league the longer I 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.480 want to say he was. He's twenty five years twenty 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.280 five years, was twenty four, and Philbin was nineteen. Leon 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.400 Let twelve years with the Cowboys, fifty four years old, 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:50.400 assistant to the assistant and Rob Davis was basically Mike's 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:54.720 kind of right hand man, so he wasn't really coaching anything. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:00.480 So I think Kyle Valero was a quality nine years here. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.440 I think for Kyle the linebacker coach, what was his name, 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:10.080 the linebacker coach, George George, senior defensive assistant linebacker. Now 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:14.040 that one somewhat surprised me from the production of the 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:20.120 linebackers and how the defense played. So now dan Quinn 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.320 was under contract with dan Quinn was interviewing for head 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.359 coaching jobs and in fact had a second interview with Arizona. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.080 And then that's when after that interview is when he 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.399 announced he's coming back. So they sweetened the pot for 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:38.040 dan Quinn. And you know what, got how they afford 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:43.600 getting rid of all that into it at economics economic? 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:50.240 Or did did they have to? Because again, if you're 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.399 going into your second go around as a head coach, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.159 don't you want to go into a good situation, not 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.800 a bad situation. And I know those five were bad 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.800 situations because of the quarterback. Do you want to coach 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.040 Michael Parsons or Kyler Murray? Yeah, that's the way I 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.760 look at it on the Arizona job or Russell Wilson. Yeah, 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:17.280 And I don't have any first round picks Indianapolis who whoever? Yeah, 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.240 Sam Ellinger or whoever? At quarterback? I mean, just look 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:25.680 at the coaches and the quarterbacks in those those five teams, right, 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.920 there's a reason why they didn't win. And know what 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.800 they were doing at quarterback? Houston? What are you doing 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:36.400 at quarterback? So where they're getting one of the two? Yeah? Yeah? 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.240 But but yeah are they are they really good? I 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.840 mean are they you know? Get sink your teeth into 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.840 them now. I think the kid from Alabama is pretty 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:50.520 dark and good. Um, but still, it's an unknown. It's 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.720 not a sure thing. You never know what the guy 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.879 above you is going to do in the draft. They 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.080 could trade it and say no, I want three picks, 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:01.480 not one. So but yeah, if I'm if I'm Quinn, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.359 I'd have been choosy because I don't want to fail. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.920 You fail the second time. He's already been there once, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.240 so it's not like it's something new for him. You 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.160 can dangle that carry in front of again and he's like, Okay, 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.920 I've seen this before. I'm gonna go in here, you know, 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.639 a little more cautious. Yeah, yeah, and I'm gonna If 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.680 I'm gonna take one, it's got to be a really 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:26.000 good situation, which those situations don't occur. Right, If it's 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:31.120 a really good situation. All right, let's dive in when 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.560 we come back, because we're already twenty minutes in.

So switch to all State, save 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.120 money and be better protected from mayhem like me based 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.240 on coverage in them, it's selected subject to terms, conditions, 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.480 and availability.

Oh, 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:06.359 that's Cape Postcompany dot Com. All right, Monday morning at 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.760 eleven o'clock. That's our regular time for mix shots during 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.920 the off season. And we are twenty two minutes into 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:17.680 this thing, and we've talked about the movement on the offensive, 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.760 the coaching staff in general, and as far as the 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:25.120 offensive play caller goes. Kellen Moore, of course, has officially 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:29.199 been let go. And your new play caller, Mickey Spagnola, 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.600 who would you like it to be? I said all along. 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.639 If they made this change, then Mike McCarthy needs to 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.400 be the offensive coordinator, and I don't know that he'll 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:41.639 have that title, but if he's calling plays, it might 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.080 as well be Mike McCarthy the offensive coordinator. I would 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.000 imagine they hire somebody to help out with the day 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:54.080 to day work practice schedule, you know, setting up stuff. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:59.280 And who knows now that they let or are not 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:04.480 renewing dougman nuss Meyer's contract as the quarterback coach. Maybe 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.920 whoever becomes that guy taking care of Mike day to 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:13.000 day is also a quarterback coach. And maybe you hire 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.760 a veteran assistant who as can be on the sideline 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.040 too or up in the booth as a game manager 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.440 type too, because if you're if your head coach is 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:24.680 also the play caller, there are things during the course 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.280 of a game he might have to be involved in 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.639 where he can't you need you. He might need some 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:35.520 assistance managing the game. Yes, I always thought that there 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.000 were times when mccauthy was calling the place. I'm wrong 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.800 about that. Now. There was a moment during the season 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:43.880 where he's like, look, I don't think he was called 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.200 on the way in heavily on this one this week. 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:48.760 And I and I always told people when they you know, 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.560 they don't want to blame Kellen for everything, and it's 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:56.119 like he's not an independent contractor, right, Mike's got to 0:23:56.200 --> 0:24:00.760 say yes during the week, Yes he does. And you 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.040 know there's a reason why he's got a headset on 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:08.000 and a sheet in his hand. Yes, that's the plays 0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:11.200 that they decided, right. And I'm sure there were times 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.960 it's like, oh you know, let me. I mean, you 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.240 know that happened with Jason Garrett when he was the 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:21.280 head coach. Um. You know, I know for a fact 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.160 that he vetoed plays and it's not no, we don't 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:27.640 want to do that, right right, Um? So yeah, um, 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.680 but I thought if they were gonna make a change, 0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:33.480 and I'm the head coach, and this is what my 0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:37.560 expertise is. If I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna go 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.879 down on my own right because of my offer, you know. 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.400 And the hard thing to say is to figure out 0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:47.040 is nine games in a row, nine games in a row, 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.080 they averaged thirty six points a game with that guy 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:54.800 as the coordinator, right, And I understand what happened in 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.840
