Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday somehow. Come
Speaker 1: on in, stay a while. Gang's all here. It's a
Speaker 1: meat Friday. In case you're wondering living vicariously through our
Speaker 1: trigger grills, Diablo grilled chicken thighs, balsamick, Brussels sprouts with bacon.
Speaker 1: Who has it better than us? Nobody? Play of the Day,
Speaker 1: poll questions, stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming.
Speaker 1: And now I know there's great games to talk about
Speaker 1: this weekend, and I know that we could recap what
Speaker 1: happened last night the Taysom Hill experiment, but I got
Speaker 1: a lead with the obvious. Brian Kelly was introduced to
Speaker 1: the LSU fan base at a basketball game. He is
Speaker 1: from Massachusetts. I think southern Massachusetts. So let's key in
Speaker 1: on the words southern Massachusetts because Brian Kelly has been
Speaker 1: in Louisiana for three days, four days, and it feels
Speaker 1: like he has absorbed part of the community. And this
Speaker 1: was part of his speech last night. Well that's a
Speaker 1: great way to get started. And I haven't even won
Speaker 1: all my games yet. It's a great night to be
Speaker 1: a Tiger. I'm here with my family, and we are
Speaker 1: so excited to be in the great state of Louisiana,
Speaker 1: but more partly to be with you great fans and
Speaker 1: to be part of what is going to be an
Speaker 1: incredible ride here at Louisiana State University. Wait, how long
Speaker 1: does it take to get an accent? All? Right? With?
Speaker 1: My family? Is great to be here, what we've got here,
Speaker 1: and I haven't even won all of my games. This
Speaker 1: this strikes me is when Madonna went to London and
Speaker 1: she came back with an English accent. When it's Paltrow.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least Madonna was married to Guy Ritchie.
Speaker 1: It took a couple of years. When it's Paltrow went
Speaker 1: to London for a weekend and came back with an
Speaker 1: accent my family, and I haven't even won all my games.
Speaker 1: Dad go, Dad govern did he? I don't think he said?
Speaker 1: Don Who knows what he's gonna sound like my next season? Hey, coach,
Speaker 1: I you know, Hey Dan, great to be on with you.
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be like Matthew McConaughey, Wow, that didn't
Speaker 1: take long. Yeah, Paul, Dan, here's how it's gonna sound
Speaker 1: it about a year. Well, damn, that's gonna has been
Speaker 1: a hell of a year here. So are you gonna
Speaker 1: sound like ed Orsi? That's going to be a long
Speaker 1: and a lot of spicy food and gold Tigers, Gold Tigers. Oh,
Speaker 1: I couldn't resist. I'm like, oh my god, that's the
Speaker 1: lead of the show. Ryan Kelly's got a Southern polly.
Speaker 1: It's southern Massachusetts. It's south central Massachusetts, Everett, mass It's
Speaker 1: not the southern tip of the state down yonder. There's
Speaker 1: a movie called Fletch Lives. It's with Chevy Chase and
Speaker 1: where he goes back to Louisiana and he inherits a
Speaker 1: farm from his mom and are a relative and he
Speaker 1: does a fake Southern accent in parts of the movie.
Speaker 1: That's out. That's up. I kept going, wait, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes if I'm in Ireland, I can sort of sound
Speaker 1: a little more Irish, but it's not. When I went
Speaker 1: to Australia to do a story on Sean Bradley, I
Speaker 1: didn't come home with an Australian accent. Or when I
Speaker 1: went to Rio for the Olympics, or when I went
Speaker 1: to London for the Olympics, or I went to Sochi
Speaker 1: for the Olympics, I didn't come back with accents. My family.
Speaker 1: They haven't even won all my games. Although if he wins,
Speaker 1: then nobody's gonna care about that. They're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: hell yeah, he's one of us. Yeah see, I can't
Speaker 1: wait for him to start dropping like the Southern expressions,
Speaker 1: like that's fun there than a frog hair split four ways?
Speaker 1: You see? What better than chicken in the sack? I'd
Speaker 1: like to have some sweet cheap please car coach that
Speaker 1: fellow that he thinks the song comes up to hear him. Bro,
Speaker 1: what was the doc Hollywood with Michael J. Fox? You
Speaker 1: know where he's you know, on his way to LA
Speaker 1: and he stops in in some little po dunk town
Speaker 1: and uh, you know everybody got them accents Like that,
Speaker 1: he starts picking up the accents a little bad. I mean,
Speaker 1: I lived in Atlanta a couple years. I never had
Speaker 1: an accent. Y'all didn't have an accent. No I didn't, No,
Speaker 1: I did not. I couldn't resist. Welcome to the program,

Speaker 1: You know it's a Friday Musie. You want to think
Speaker 1: positive things. We've got to meet Friday here. The great
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn, who's not happy with Brian Kelly in the
Speaker 1: way he left Notre Dame is going to join us,
Speaker 1: coming up here at a moment, and we have a
Speaker 1: pull question, Play of the day, stat of the day.
Speaker 1: It's official, Marcus Freeman is the new Notre Dame head coach.
Speaker 1: Notre Dame just announced that. So all the great work
Speaker 1: behind the scenes with a lot of these college football
Speaker 1: insiders to bring you the news there that this was
Speaker 1: going to happen. Tommy Reese will stay on as the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Yes, point yeah, this is exciting. Marcus Freeman,
Speaker 1: who I think is originally from Ohio, but he's really
Speaker 1: really embracing the fighting Irish culture. We have a a little
Speaker 1: audio from him just getting the job. Oh okay, God Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm happy to accept it. Wow. Hitting coaching position here
Speaker 1: for the fighting Irish. Wow, he's embracing it. That didn't
Speaker 1: take long. Okay, I like it. Actual sound. Oh it's not,
Speaker 1: that's not. Oh you couldn't tell you tricked me again?
Speaker 1: Then we should be in a happy mood. It's a Friday, right, PAULI.
Speaker 1: Of course usually isn't. He's got a mean spirited poll question, Paula,
Speaker 1: you want to unleash your mean spirited poll question. We're
Speaker 1: seven minute We're eight minutes into this program today, and
Speaker 1: we're skewing mean. I preface this by saying no offense.
Speaker 1: And I'm a fan of Taysom Hill as a football player.
Speaker 1: He's a very interesting and impactful football Just give us
Speaker 1: the poll question. What is the worst sports experiment ever?
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill at quarterback? The XFL Fox is glowing puck
Speaker 1: with hockey, Michael Jordan playing baseball or other. I'm laying
Speaker 1: out thick because wow, wow, I don't think this is
Speaker 1: the right move as a franchise. Well, okay, either commit
Speaker 1: to Taysom Hill or not now you've committed financially, commit
Speaker 1: to him. That's it. I know he's been in concussion protocol,
Speaker 1: but just commit to him. See if you have Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson light, you got a fascinating talent there. Here is
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill assessing what went wrong last night in the
Speaker 1: lass to the Cowboys. I'm not gonna rush to any conclusions,
Speaker 1: having not seen the tape or anything, but I feel
Speaker 1: like we did some things really well tonight and then
Speaker 1: we did some things really poorly. Obviously, it's tough to
Speaker 1: win a game. We can turn the ball at four times.
Speaker 1: That's really what jumps out Coming into the season. The
Speaker 1: big concern with the Cowboys was going to be their defense,
Speaker 1: because they certainly struggled on that side of the ball
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and they were hoping that Micah Parsons
Speaker 1: coming in. You hire defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, You've got
Speaker 1: a really good cornerback and Trayvon Diggs, and you're thinking,
Speaker 1: if you get any kind of defense, Dallas with that
Speaker 1: offense is going to be a Super Bowl contender. And
Speaker 1: they might be, but the defense feels like it's holding
Speaker 1: up its end of the bargain and the offense is
Speaker 1: not you know, and I'm not making this out to
Speaker 1: be this is doomsday defense in Dallas because they've struggled.
Speaker 1: But you do have two great players on the other
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You've got a guy who can
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback and you have a shutdown corner.
Speaker 1: They're young, they're inexpensive. And with Micah Parsons there, you know,
Speaker 1: what's going to be curious is how he is labeled
Speaker 1: because he came in as a linebacker. You want to
Speaker 1: be an edge rusher because your salary is comparable to
Speaker 1: your position, and if you're an edge rusher, now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you go, I want t J want money.
Speaker 1: That's how this works. As a linebacker, who are you
Speaker 1: going to be compared to Bobby Wagner, Luke Keikley, even
Speaker 1: though he didn't play anymore, Like, that's not where you
Speaker 1: make your money as an edge rusher, you do. But
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was fascinating because there were concerns with him
Speaker 1: at Penn State. Great athlete, nobody questioned that size wise,
Speaker 1: there was some concerns. But you come in to the
Speaker 1: NFL as a linebacker and people at the time said, well,
Speaker 1: you don't spend a first round pick on a linebacker,
Speaker 1: but he was not. This is where you draft somebody
Speaker 1: and you say, oh, you're a linebacker. No, you're drafting
Speaker 1: a football player. That's who he is. Because if you
Speaker 1: look back, you know, Troy Polamalu was just a football player.
Speaker 1: Ed Reid just a football player. Bryan Rlocker played safety
Speaker 1: in college. You're drafting guys because they're football players. And
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is just that he's a great football player.
Speaker 1: It's not here's your designation, you're a linebacker. I always
Speaker 1: go back, you know, Derek Thomas, Derrick Thomas was always
Speaker 1: fascinating because he was a great player, athletic, played for
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, and he just had an inatability
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: somebody said, well, he's an edge rusher, he's a linebacker.
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor didn't have a position. Lawrence Taylor was this
Speaker 1: is what I want to do on this play. And
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is that kind of player. He is a disruptor.
Speaker 1: And when your guy is faster than anybody on their
Speaker 1: side of the ball, that's a real distinct weapon. And
Speaker 1: then you throw in Diggs who has nine interceptions this year.
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of players who can keep you
Speaker 1: in games or win you games in the playoffs. The
Speaker 1: offense is still what concerns me because that should be
Speaker 1: a great offense, and I didn't think it was a
Speaker 1: great offense without those four interceptions. You know, we might
Speaker 1: be talking about something different here. Dak is still not
Speaker 1: played great. I've said for a long time. Pollard to
Speaker 1: me makes more sense than Zeke does. But they signed
Speaker 1: him up to that second contract. Pollard is really good,
Speaker 1: But you got Ceedee lamb Amari Cooper. Now's the time
Speaker 1: where you got a couple of divisional games coming up,
Speaker 1: Giants and the Washington football team. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 1: if they get picked off by one of those two
Speaker 1: teams coming up. But now you're you're trying to figure
Speaker 1: this team out, and we're trying to figure out everybody,
Speaker 1: Like Green Bay has been injured. How good are they
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay? Now? No Antonio Brown suspended for three games
Speaker 1: for lying about his vaccination card Arizona. You' all in
Speaker 1: on Arizona. The Rams got them figured out, Like there's
Speaker 1: questions with everybody here, certainly in the NFC. But Dallas
Speaker 1: should be great. I mean, you don't have that much
Speaker 1: competition in the division. I mean, is Washington capable of
Speaker 1: being good, yes, the Giants capable, Yeah, but you got
Speaker 1: to dominate and they should be having a home field
Speaker 1: advantage and they're not going to and then you're going
Speaker 1: to be on the road, and then that just sort
Speaker 1: of exacerbates what your issues are. You don't want to
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay. You don't not in January late January,
Speaker 1: and that's where Dallas could be headed. But I'm watching
Speaker 1: this team and I keep thinking, what are they missing?
Speaker 1: Got everything they do offensively. I mean I'm not the
Speaker 1: biggest Mike McCarthy fan. Dan quinn stepped in as the
Speaker 1: head coach, but that team should be great with these
Speaker 1: two defensive players and that offense, they should be great
Speaker 1: and they're not. And I think that's that's what's surprising.
Speaker 1: Do you know the draft comp for Michael Parsons, a
Speaker 1: fellow linebacker played on the West Coast college wise, Yes, boy,
Speaker 1: I was gonna go Roquan Smith when he's at Georgia. Okay,
Speaker 1: speed guy, Okay, all right, Miles Jack Well it's Jack Ucla.
Speaker 1: That was the comp Yeah, mclub Miles Jack six and
Speaker 1: a half sacks in six years, so I don't think
Speaker 1: he's already surpassed Miles Jack. Yep, he's got what ten
Speaker 1: sacks already this year. Miles Jack's not making it about himself.
Speaker 1: He's a team guy. That's why I like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Player the day, A stat of
Speaker 1: the day. What's the poll question? McLevin? I put up
Speaker 1: police mean snarky one. We're a sports experiment. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: not fair to Taysom Hill. Well, Taysom Hill ran for
Speaker 1: one hundred yards yesterday. They should use him like Cordell Patterson.
Speaker 1: Cordelle Patterson does not throw the ball. He's a fantastic
Speaker 1: all purpose player, but they don't try to force him
Speaker 1: into a quarterback. They're trying to force Taysom Hill in
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and he's not bad. But rarely can you
Speaker 1: win a super Bow with a not bad, questionable decision
Speaker 1: making Quarterbacksvin, I was gonna say, by the way, I
Speaker 1: Paully rejected my other poll, oh meanly he I said,
Speaker 1: if you could only watch one of these college games
Speaker 1: George Alabama, Michigan, IOWA, Cincinnati, Houston, Oklahoma, Saint Baylor Pitt
Speaker 1: Wake for us. He said he's not doing that, he's
Speaker 1: not going to watch this one. Well, no, but that
Speaker 1: that's not part of this the answer you can watch one,
Speaker 1: but that like sounds like torture, like not being able
Speaker 1: to see all these games, right, I might take pick
Speaker 1: Pitt versus Wake, believe it or not. Like that to
Speaker 1: me is going to be fun and and Michigan Iowa
Speaker 1: could be a slug fest. Crooked numbers in there. Houston Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: you know, Houston's fun, but Cincinnati can't let off the
Speaker 1: accelerator here, Um Baylor, Oaklhoma's state a little bit, even
Speaker 1: Oregon Utah Tonight, I'm interested in. It doesn't mean anything. Yes,
Speaker 1: ton as fun as some of the games are, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch at least some of them. In part.
Speaker 1: You gotta go with something where there's something on the line,
Speaker 1: where they're gonna make these final rankings noon Sunday, and
Speaker 1: it's gotta be one of the which one is tough
Speaker 1: to take George Alabama, I know we're the same teams
Speaker 1: and all that kind of argument, and it may not
Speaker 1: end up being the best game of all them, but
Speaker 1: that is still the juiciest, whether we like it or not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if Georgia wins, you're going okay, like, what's so?
Speaker 1: Then you're going to did Alabama lose in a way
Speaker 1: that will keep them in the final four? I guess
Speaker 1: some of it's the hype of the George Georgia loses.
Speaker 1: George is in the final four for me, like Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Do I expect them to be Houston? Yes, they should.
Speaker 1: Michigan against Iowa is tricky, Pitt and Wake for us,
Speaker 1: that's just entertainment purposes. By the way, the current Heisman odds,
Speaker 1: I'll have those for you. And the guy that I'm
Speaker 1: voting for, well thinking of voting for, is not in
Speaker 1: the one, two, three, four, top six. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn will join us. We'll see if he's still
Speaker 1: upset at Brian Kelly for the way he left South

Speaker 1: every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live
Speaker 1: on the Peacock app. Set up poll question here, I
Speaker 1: believe we got to play of the day, stat of
Speaker 1: the day. I got Heisman odds. Then we'll talk to
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn, Bryce Young is your favorite? Then it's c J. Stroud,
Speaker 1: Matt Corrall, Kenny Pickett, Aiden Hutchinson, he's the defensive end
Speaker 1: at Michigan, Kenneth Walker running back at Michigan State. Nobody
Speaker 1: from the Georgia defense is mentioned. Paulie. They don't have
Speaker 1: an alpha guy like it, remember the David Pollock type
Speaker 1: year or a LaVar Arrington. They don't have a guy
Speaker 1: with crazy stats and crazy image but is there anybody
Speaker 1: better than Davis? Jordan Davis. He's six six, three forty
Speaker 1: and they say he's the key to their whole defense
Speaker 1: because you can't get around him. That's who I'm leaning towards.
Speaker 1: Because who has been the most important player in college
Speaker 1: football or unit? Then I have to factor that in
Speaker 1: that Georgia has. The reason why they're probably going to
Speaker 1: play for a national championship is their defense. Yeah, Polly
Speaker 1: the Heisman favorite. It's very weird. Bryce Young could lose
Speaker 1: and it's hard to win a Heisman after a loss
Speaker 1: on national TV. C J. Shroud's not playing State, Matt
Speaker 1: Carroll's not playing old Miss Kenny Pickett. No one really
Speaker 1: cares about nationally the offense. He'll do great in the draft.
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson had a monster game against Ohio State and
Speaker 1: led his team to the two spot the defensive end
Speaker 1: for Michigan. Yeah, he could be in there. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: guy was finished third, I think in the Heisman balloting
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, Troy Smith won, Darren McFadden and
Speaker 1: then Brady Quinn, the former Notre Dame fighting irishman joining
Speaker 1: us on the program. What did you get for being
Speaker 1: a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, Brady a trip to
Speaker 1: New York and I got to sit there for a
Speaker 1: while and watch someone else get the reward. Now it
Speaker 1: was Look, it was a good experience. You got to
Speaker 1: be around a lot of the other past grades in
Speaker 1: college football. It's obviously an honor just to be in
Speaker 1: consideration for it, and that's you know, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: the interesting part about this year, in listening to your discussion,
Speaker 1: is you know, there really should be probably six or
Speaker 1: seven guys that go. You know, they base it technically
Speaker 1: on the balloting or voting and that point system that
Speaker 1: they have and how many guys get first place, second place,
Speaker 1: third place votes. But the reality is it's hard to
Speaker 1: think that there's not going to be a you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably be hard to distinguish between who you know
Speaker 1: should be the guy this year. I think if you're
Speaker 1: looking at the best quarterback play, that would be Bryce
Speaker 1: Young in my opinion. Um, I think he's been the
Speaker 1: best quarterback from wire to wire. Even though last week's
Speaker 1: game he struggled lightly. However, he did come up when
Speaker 1: they needed it the most. Kenny Pickett's the most valuable
Speaker 1: to his team. I don't know that pits anywhere close
Speaker 1: to playing an ACC championship game. If he's not there,
Speaker 1: you could probably make a case for him. You know,
Speaker 1: I heard you talking about Jordan Davis, and that's probably
Speaker 1: the downside of playing that position. Is as good as
Speaker 1: you can be as a defensive tackle. When you play
Speaker 1: on the interior of the D line, it's everyone else
Speaker 1: around you who's more often than not going to be
Speaker 1: able to have success since you. But you're still doing
Speaker 1: your job and your dominant but it just doesn't get
Speaker 1: appreciated the same way as Aidan Hutcheson, for example, who
Speaker 1: you can make the case as the best player in
Speaker 1: college football with the way he's played this year as
Speaker 1: a defensive end and in their biggest moment. You know,
Speaker 1: last week he had a Heisman moment as far as
Speaker 1: three sacks fifteen pressures, which is unheard of. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can make the case that he's as deserving of
Speaker 1: it as anyone. Let me let me start with Bryan
Speaker 1: Kelly departure. I know that you being a notre dame
Speaker 1: fighting Irishman. How could he have done it differently, better,
Speaker 1: more tactfully. He could have waited. He literally could have
Speaker 1: just waited a week. If LSU wanted Brian Kelly that
Speaker 1: bad or let me put it this way, if coach
Speaker 1: Kelly wanted to leave Notre Dame, the most tactful way
Speaker 1: he could have done it is say to LSU, look,
Speaker 1: I want to come there, you want me, Let's just
Speaker 1: put push this thing off a week because if we
Speaker 1: have a chance to win and it works out this
Speaker 1: weekend where they're actually in the college football playoffs, I
Speaker 1: want to go finish this job and try to coach
Speaker 1: this team to a national championship. And you should want
Speaker 1: that because you should want me to do the same
Speaker 1: thing if I'm in that position at LSU. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is in part for the players,
Speaker 1: the coaches, everything that he was able to accomplish during
Speaker 1: his time at Notre Dame. That's just the proper way
Speaker 1: to do it. And also though for LSU, because he's
Speaker 1: already done this before to Cincinnati, he built them up,
Speaker 1: got them to a New Year's six game, and then
Speaker 1: left before that bowl game. And then now he's become
Speaker 1: the all time winning his head coach in Notre Dame
Speaker 1: and left again at a time where you're going you
Speaker 1: could have just waited a week to see if they're
Speaker 1: playing for it, and if they'll look if the team
Speaker 1: was playing for a New Year's six and they don't
Speaker 1: make it in still be it. No one's gonna hold
Speaker 1: it against you. But now I kind of Warren LSU fans.
Speaker 1: You know, he's poked around and wanting to coach in
Speaker 1: the NFL at some point, you know what would exclude
Speaker 1: him from having a couple of great seasons at LSU,
Speaker 1: which you know they'll probably have some you know, have success,
Speaker 1: and then he starts wanting to leave to show take
Speaker 1: an NFL job. I mean, the timing is a little
Speaker 1: different because of the seasons, but that's where I just say,
Speaker 1: if he just would have waited a week, I don't
Speaker 1: know that anyone would be upset about him wanting to
Speaker 1: leave for ninety five million dollars and where he feels
Speaker 1: like he's got a better chance of winning a national championship.
Speaker 1: That's his own prerogative. But the time at which he
Speaker 1: did it, and then the way things become public with
Speaker 1: him telling that team, hey, I think you're a top
Speaker 1: four team and then turning around a day later and telling,
Speaker 1: you know, the LFU players why he's there and why
Speaker 1: it's not a Notre Dame. It just it all seems hypocritical,
Speaker 1: but probably nothing worse than the Southern accent that was
Speaker 1: displayed last night at the basketball game in that that
Speaker 1: was that took the cake. Though I'm not sure you're
Speaker 1: ever coming back to that. Uh well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, but Notre Dame mat or deficial.
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman is the new head coach and we have
Speaker 1: exclusive audio of him taking over, and you know he
Speaker 1: is embracing the culture at Notre Dame. Brady, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say it isn't it. It's a real pleasure
Speaker 1: and an honor to be made the head culture to
Speaker 1: fighting Irish. See. I mean it happened there in South
Speaker 1: ben and it happened to Brian Kelly. You know at LSU.
Speaker 1: It's weird how it works out like that. You know,
Speaker 1: you just you find yourself in that, you know, that
Speaker 1: top position you thought you gotta assimilate and fit in
Speaker 1: and all that. But no, I mean, look, I'm happy
Speaker 1: for Marcus. I think he you know, not only it'll
Speaker 1: continually get better and better and better as a head coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, he continued to improve just as a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: You know, the players love him. You see the energy
Speaker 1: around that place. He kept everything intact. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at it, how many coaches went with Brian Kelly to LSU.
Speaker 1: If that gives you kind of any indication of how
Speaker 1: they feel about Notre Dame, the rest of the coaches
Speaker 1: on that staff, the players in that locker room, and
Speaker 1: their opportunity moving forward, it kind of just goes to
Speaker 1: show you that, you know, they feel differently than the
Speaker 1: head coach felt obviously leaving. So yeah, the reality is
Speaker 1: they're hoping he'll be kind of like Mike Tomlin who
Speaker 1: took over, who hadn't been a head coach before, but
Speaker 1: took over at Pittsburgh. You know, was able to win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. You know, it was able to really
Speaker 1: you know, have a ton of success since he's been there,
Speaker 1: especially relatively early. I think that's the hope they're at
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and what you're looking at with Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 1: Brady will be part of Fox on Site pregame show
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis on Saturday nighties Iowa and Michigan in the
Speaker 1: Big Ten title game. Game. Show starts at seven Eastern
Speaker 1: with kickoff at eight Eastern. Watching last night with Taysom
Speaker 1: Hill and the Taysom Hill experiment, I said, you know,
Speaker 1: you got to decide you want to play him, then
Speaker 1: go all in as your quarterback, like you want him
Speaker 1: to be Lamar Jackson, then let's try to make him
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. But uh, and what do you make of
Speaker 1: the Taysom Hill experiment. Well, I think it's hard to
Speaker 1: make him Lamar Jackson if you've got ten other guys
Speaker 1: who have to adapt to a completely different style of offense.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care if it was Drew Brees
Speaker 1: last year or Jamis Winston when when he was starting
Speaker 1: this year. That's a different offense than what you're going
Speaker 1: to run with Taysom Hill. If you want to make
Speaker 1: him that, then what you're you know, running with Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston or Drew Brees in the past. So that's more
Speaker 1: of the difficulty is and that's why I think you
Speaker 1: see that kind of you need like an offseason to
Speaker 1: really adapt and adjust to that and find the type
Speaker 1: of person now that you need at the wide receiver
Speaker 1: tight end positions to make it work. But I think
Speaker 1: at this point we kind of know what Taysom Hill
Speaker 1: is as a quarterback, I think we know what kind
Speaker 1: of offense they have to try to run and in
Speaker 1: order to be successful, so that you know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to call it an experiment, you know, or just
Speaker 1: whatever decision at Sean paid made. At this point, I
Speaker 1: think the tough thing for them moving forward is deciding
Speaker 1: on like, what is our quarterback situation? Did Jameis Winston
Speaker 1: show us enough? Do they want to turn it over
Speaker 1: to Ian Book, which would be what I would do
Speaker 1: right now, and see what he's capable of doing. You
Speaker 1: drafted him for a reason, you should probably know where
Speaker 1: you're out with every quarterback on this roster as you
Speaker 1: head into twenty twenty two, whether that's if you're looking
Speaker 1: for a veteran you know to trade or who would
Speaker 1: be a free agent, or if you're looking in the
Speaker 1: draft again at one of these quarterbacks in the first round.
Speaker 1: You better have a good feel for what everyone's capable
Speaker 1: of doing where you're at that position. So at this point,
Speaker 1: I think we've seen enough to kind of know what
Speaker 1: he is and what he's not, and I think he's
Speaker 1: more valuable to their team as that Swiss Army knife,
Speaker 1: as opposed to, you know, playing quarterback around a group
Speaker 1: that's just not I don't think the roster's built to
Speaker 1: play like that. I think they're more built for a
Speaker 1: pocket pass or a Drew Brees at Jamis Winston. If
Speaker 1: we did a redraft with Micah Parsons, so Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: stop me, where you would put Micah Parsons. Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: goes number one, Zach Wilson goes number two, Trey Lands
Speaker 1: goes I think you'd already started there saying maybe Mac
Speaker 1: Jones goes number two if it's gonna be another quarterback taken.
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, but where's Micah Parsons go? Would you
Speaker 1: take him somewhere? Like if you're Atlanta with Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 1: Bengals got a great player in Jamar Chase. Jalen Waddle
Speaker 1: has played well in Miami, Penny sewell in Detroit. JC Horn.
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. He was if you're just
Speaker 1: looking at the overall prospects and taking out positions, I mean,
Speaker 1: he was one of, without a doubt, a top five prospect.
Speaker 1: So if you're ranking it that way, I mean based
Speaker 1: on his ability to play off the ball on the
Speaker 1: ball rush to pass all that stuff. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: freakishly athletic. He was a top prospect. You know, you
Speaker 1: would have looked at him as you could he help
Speaker 1: any team that he got drafted to and immediately have
Speaker 1: an impact and eventually you could see him wearing a
Speaker 1: gold jacket some day. Yeah, and so you could probably
Speaker 1: have stopped at the Jets at two and said if
Speaker 1: they didn't have a huge need at quarterback, but they did,
Speaker 1: so you really can't go that direction there. And then
Speaker 1: as you proceed through the rest of the draft, you know,
Speaker 1: San Francisco, could they have used them, Sure, but they
Speaker 1: wanted to go after Trey Lance because maybe they feel
Speaker 1: like he's more of the future. They didn't want to
Speaker 1: pass up on that. So we can go through the draft.
Speaker 1: But the reality is he was probably a top four,
Speaker 1: top three prospect at you know, overall, if you just
Speaker 1: took away all the positions and what he had put
Speaker 1: on tape and how he was going to test and
Speaker 1: how he's going to segue into the NFL. Why do
Speaker 1: we put designations on players because Michael Parsons went from
Speaker 1: being a linebacker too, we need you as an edge
Speaker 1: rusher and you get paid as an edge rusher, you
Speaker 1: don't get paid as a linebacker. And I think that's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting to watch, is you know how
Speaker 1: he's listed, But Michael Parsons is sort of a T. J.
Speaker 1: Watt kind of player, and you know, should be up
Speaker 1: there for Defensive Player of the Year because this was
Speaker 1: this is one of the worst defenses statistically in the
Speaker 1: history of the sport, and he, along with Diggs and
Speaker 1: dan Quinn have really made them presentable at least and
Speaker 1: at times formidable. But you'd have to say it was
Speaker 1: a little bit of luck. I mean he started playing
Speaker 1: off the edge like that because of injuries. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily where they were originally going to put him.
Speaker 1: And that's usually how this all works out, right, Like
Speaker 1: Tom Brady ended up in New England out of you know, luck,
Speaker 1: he got trafted in the sixth round. He started out
Speaker 1: to be the best player of all times. So that's
Speaker 1: a piece of it. I think how dan Quinn uses
Speaker 1: him is a part of it too. Understanding his background
Speaker 1: he had played defensive end of the past. When you
Speaker 1: saw him rush the past aster at Penn State, you
Speaker 1: understood he could be able to get pressures he could
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback, So all those things got to
Speaker 1: add it up to his ability to do it. But
Speaker 1: you have to have a coaching staff that's willing to
Speaker 1: that's going to be willing to look at his stature
Speaker 1: in size and say, Kenny still set the edge, Kenny
Speaker 1: still plays stout on that side, even though he's not
Speaker 1: your typical, you know, four three defensive end and what
Speaker 1: that body style looks like. So it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of luck, it's coaching. It's obviously the abilities of Micah Parsons,
Speaker 1: who can pick that sort of stuff up as a
Speaker 1: young player in this league, which probably is the most
Speaker 1: impressive thing. It's just you talk about football, like you
Speaker 1: a guy who could play off the ball like that,
Speaker 1: where he was probably originally designated dude play, and now
Speaker 1: he plays on the ball and he's able to do
Speaker 1: it flawlessly. I mean, it's not even like he's hit
Speaker 1: a rookie wall or you feel like he's had a
Speaker 1: bad game. Wire to wire, He's been phenomenal this entire
Speaker 1: season for them, So obviously you've got to give him
Speaker 1: a ton of credit to It's a way he's kind
Speaker 1: of devoted himself and I know he didn't play last
Speaker 1: year at Penn State, so maybe you know that was
Speaker 1: part of it too. He was preparing himself for understanding
Speaker 1: the NFL game as he was sitting out last year,
Speaker 1: more likely to see a surprise Michigan Iowa or Georgia Alabama. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're gonna look at the betting lines,
Speaker 1: you would say Alabama because that's at least a closer spread.
Speaker 1: And I'd probably say Alabama too, just because they've got
Speaker 1: a couple of absolute stars. I feel I'd be remiss
Speaker 1: if I'd to mention Will Anderson is being in that
Speaker 1: conversation along with Aidan Hutchinson. I mean, you know, Will
Speaker 1: Anderson's been a part of a defense that gets overshadowed
Speaker 1: by Georgia because George has been so good. I mean,
Speaker 1: they remind me of like the ninety three Florida State
Speaker 1: defense if we go back that far. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, their second to Georgia and almost every category
Speaker 1: for the most part. He's been a big reason why.
Speaker 1: And so you could throw his name into that list
Speaker 1: of Heisman kennidates. But they've got him on one side,
Speaker 1: they got Bryce Young on the other. And if there's
Speaker 1: like two guys who can really and truly impact the game.
Speaker 1: It's at that edge position. Then it's at the quarterback spot,
Speaker 1: and Bryce Young makes up for so many of their
Speaker 1: issues up front, whether schematically on their offensive line or
Speaker 1: just mismatches, and this will be a tough one for them.
Speaker 1: You know, every single week he makes some throws and
Speaker 1: plays that you just go no one else is really
Speaker 1: doing this in college football, and he's only a freshman.
Speaker 1: So I think George is the team that probably you
Speaker 1: would say in this championship weekend, of the teams that
Speaker 1: are in contention for the playoff, is the one that
Speaker 1: you might put on upset alert just because of the
Speaker 1: stars that they have on each side of the football
Speaker 1: at Damma. Great to talk to you. Safe travels to
Speaker 1: Indie and we'll talk to you next week. Thank you,

Speaker 1: dot Com, Mercedes Benz the Best or nothing case you're
Speaker 1: wonder Taysom Hill throwing four interceptions, the most interceptions by
Speaker 1: his Saints quarterback since Drew Brees was picked off five
Speaker 1: times by the Falcons in twenty twelve. Here's another stat
Speaker 1: that you probably didn't know about and you probably don't
Speaker 1: want to join. Taysom Hill is one of two players
Speaker 1: in NFL history with at least one hundred yards rushing
Speaker 1: and four interceptions in a game, the other quarterback. You
Speaker 1: would be really hard pressed to figure this one out. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna let Todd try to answer this.
Speaker 1: He played for the Denver Broncos, rush for over one
Speaker 1: hundred yards and threw at least four interceptions in the
Speaker 1: same game. Steve Burline. Steve Burline is not the answer, Paulie.
Speaker 1: I don't know his name, per se, but he's that
Speaker 1: wide receiver kid when everyone got COVID and they had
Speaker 1: to play last year. No. Oh, this happened against the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears in December of nineteen seventy six. I'll give
Speaker 1: you another hint. He succeeded Archie Manning at Mississippi. He
Speaker 1: was the next quarterback in line played for the Broncos.
Speaker 1: Had great hair, feathered hair, Norris we Norris weez nice
Speaker 1: every day. Whoa bust out of the day? Stat of
Speaker 1: the day. Here comes that once staut of the day.
Speaker 1: Patt in Chicago leads us off this morning, Good morning, Pat,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Height Dan six Um. We'll make
Speaker 1: a quick comment here about the Marcus Freeman higher, um,
Speaker 1: how much do you think maybe salary went into it.
Speaker 1: You know they were over not over paying Frank killing
Speaker 1: with the game a lot, and then you know the
Speaker 1: whole Charlie Weist debacle getting over there after ten years.
Speaker 1: I think money, I don't think money is an issue
Speaker 1: pat with the I I don't think that you know,
Speaker 1: you're not going to pay him as much as Brian
Speaker 1: Kelly was making, probably in house hire. So I don't
Speaker 1: think money is a big issue there, thank you. Though.
Speaker 1: It's not like there's a salary cap at Notre Dame
Speaker 1: and you're keeping Tommy Reese so you don't have to
Speaker 1: you know, it really says a lot about Marcus Freeman
Speaker 1: Notre Dame that no assistant coaches left to go with
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly as Yeah, I mean nobody is. Tommy Reese
Speaker 1: decided to stay, and I think that cannot be overstated
Speaker 1: the importance of Notre Dame wanting continuity. You keep your
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, you promote your defensive coordinator, and coming up
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour, you're going to hear
Speaker 1: why Notre Dame is in love with Marcus Freeman and
Speaker 1: why the players at Notre Dame are in love with
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman. Have that for you? Coming out? Andrew in Washington, Hi, Andrew,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Well, Dan, I'd like to say,
Speaker 1: I'm from southern Washington, can't you know we tend to
Speaker 1: have a feeling here. You know, you confer there for
Speaker 1: six years in North Carolina there in my adult life.
Speaker 1: And I'll say that southern accent something that sticks to you,
Speaker 1: just like color greens or husk poppies when you get
Speaker 1: down there. I'd like to weigh in on the poll question. Now,
Speaker 1: I I'm bad. You know, Taysom Hill is not a
Speaker 1: bad experiment. There's no bad experiments. We'll support him, will
Speaker 1: hold him up and get him on his way. A
Speaker 1: little few interception home getting the way. He could run,
Speaker 1: move fast, and he can nose how I'll throw that balls.
Speaker 1: It's all good there. But I understand Brian Kelly. I
Speaker 1: might live in Washington state now, but I did visit
Speaker 1: and live in North Carolina for six years in that
Speaker 1: southern accent. I'll tell you. Yeah, Mike and Nike here,
Speaker 1: and Andrew, thank you in here. Absolutely, it's there. Let's see,
Speaker 1: and you know the Taysom Hill situation with throwing for interceptions.
Speaker 1: He did run for over a hundred yards but injured
Speaker 1: his finger. I don't know how much that played into
Speaker 1: him throwing these interceptions, but you know, sometimes you can
Speaker 1: be in love with somebody to a fault. We've all
Speaker 1: had it. Feels like you know a significant other or
Speaker 1: a car, like you fall in love and you go, God,
Speaker 1: I can't get rid of it. You know what. I
Speaker 1: can restore that car, you know what. I love her,
Speaker 1: but she might not be the best for me. Sean
Speaker 1: Payton loves Taysom Hill like he's in a relationship where
Speaker 1: it might not be a good relationship because I got
Speaker 1: a guy who does a lot of things, and I
Speaker 1: do love the value that you have in that. But
Speaker 1: you've committed to him, and if you're gonna pay him,
Speaker 1: then play him. I don't want to have four downs.
Speaker 1: You know where Taysom Hill plays. Cordarrell Patterson doesn't cost
Speaker 1: what Taysom Hill does, and Patterson might be going to
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Taysom Hill is fascinating, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's good. And accuracy was always an issue
Speaker 1: that I had with him. Going back to college. We
Speaker 1: had him on I don't know if it was his
Speaker 1: junior year, then he got hurt. But he was putting
Speaker 1: up big numbers there. You know, we followed this trajectory,
Speaker 1: this arc. But they're paying him. They're paying him more
Speaker 1: than they're gonna pay Alvin Kamara. And this is a
Speaker 1: team that we thought was a playoff team last night. No,
Speaker 1: you'd never think that. Wesley and South Carolina, Hey West,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? And so then you open up
Speaker 1: the show making funnisons othern sayings. And at some point
Speaker 1: during Brian Kelly's spiel, I was hoping he was gonna
Speaker 1: drop one of my all time favorites, which is you
Speaker 1: better bring your sack lunch because it ain't nothing for
Speaker 1: me to walk a man's ass. Okay, all right, I
Speaker 1: like that, Wes. And I'm not making fun I'm just
Speaker 1: picking up on what Brian Kelly is saying there. I
Speaker 1: lived in the Sound Hotlanta a few years. I'm just
Speaker 1: having fun with the accent Relax. I don't think he
Speaker 1: was upset, Oh, I don't know. I think Wes was
Speaker 1: talking about kicking my ass. I think he talked about
Speaker 1: telling you so in't that saying it? Dang? I shouldn't
Speaker 1: hung up on him. Do you have to bring your
Speaker 1: lunch or does Wess have to bring his lunch because
Speaker 1: it ain't nothing for him to kick a man's ass.
Speaker 1: Does that mean you should you bring a lunch? Or
Speaker 1: is he going to be hungry from kicking your ass?
Speaker 1: In that expression? Well, I just invite him in for
Speaker 1: meat Friday. Yeah, then he doesn't have to pack a lunch.
Speaker 1: I got. I got Diablo grilled chicken thighs in balsamic
Speaker 1: Russells Sprounce with bacon boom. Yeah. Yeah, Dan, As a
Speaker 1: person who's gotten his ass kicked a handful of times
Speaker 1: of my life, you do want to have a well
Speaker 1: balanced meal beforehand. You don't want to be thinking about
Speaker 1: what you're eating as you're getting okay sore. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm doing my Brian Kelly impersonation. That's all I don't.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that after I had lived in West
Speaker 1: Virginia for almost a year, I just was speaking different.
Speaker 1: But that was almost a year seaton. This is seventy
Speaker 1: two hours, and it's a year I remember almost none
Speaker 1: of But I do know that when I came back
Speaker 1: from West Virginia, my friends in New Jersey were like,
Speaker 1: where are you from what what? What do you all mean? Oh?
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. God. When I heard that speech by
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly my family, family, there was like family had
Speaker 1: like four syllables in it, a little sweet tea. I
Speaker 1: was like, wait, it was almost like is this just
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live skit? It's too good to be true?
