All right, let's dive a bunch of 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:59.280 Dallas Cowboys news. The Cowboys announced three hirings um this week, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.480 and let's start with Joe Junior, a guy we've already 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.240 spoken about. Secondary coach, passing game coordinator. He was in 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:12.280 Atlanta with Dan quinn um. He's also coach with Mike McCarthy. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.799 He was a part of the Packers Super Bowl winning 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.360 team to Bowl forty five, which they won over Jerry World, 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.600 and his first three years with the Packers, uh, they 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.880 let the NFL interceptions twice. He's a fourteen year veteran. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.839 So now that that's official, you've got a guy on 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.760 the back end. Dan Quinn is a defensive line coach. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.200 They hid a defensive line coach eight and dirty. Uh 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.320 he's from England by the way, he's in England in English. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.920 Was he's a brit and he was on the team 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.799 with us. Oh, he was on the team on that 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.400 twenty fourteen playoff run. He was. He was like the 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.959 quality control guy. He was. He was around our team 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.920 for a while. He was a cool dude. All right, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.320 what else can he tell us? Man a man like 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.560 he was. He spent his whole time with the defensive line. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.400 He was over there with Big Cat and he was 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.920 basically like a like a mentor to uh. Rob Manelli 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.560 was his mentor. Basically he brought him over from England. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:07.800 You know, he was learning the game. You know, he 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.280 was all about soccer. But with him, he loved the 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.480 game of football. So he would always do football camps 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.960 over there in England, bringing up just bringing that football 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.679 culture to those guys out there because they're used to 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.160 just playing soccer twenty four to seven. So that's where 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.040 if you if you know, I don't know if you 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.520 guys know, but Fa, I don't don't want to butcher. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.519 His last name Fa yeah, yeah, we just called f a. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.720 I think his last name was Ibada or something like that, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.760 but he plays for the Carolina Panthers. But anyways, Aiden 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.040 was one of his like mentors over there in England 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.920 and he had brought him over with the cop to 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.360 play with the Cowboys. He was kind of like this 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.560 practice squad guy, kind of just he came from England, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.640 he didn't really know much about football, but he had 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.360 a crazy physique and this guy was very athletic. So 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.680 he ended up playing for US for I think he 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.040 was on a practice squad for a year. Then he 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.200 went to Carolina and he's actually blossomed a lot in 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.240 Carolina over there as a defensive end, but a lot 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.480 of that was from from Aiden, who brought him over 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.240 from England. And so I'm just glad that he's able 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.160 to get a job as a defensive line coach and 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.760 get his start in the NFL, because this is a 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.520 guy that he paid his dues. I mean, he went 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.480 on he was over in England crashing and clawn to 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.480 get football over there, and then the Cowboys gave him 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.800 a chance. He's kind of a quality control guy over here, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.080 and he kind of just blossomed into this coach now 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.800 that he's here with us, So for sure, I'm glad 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.760 for the hire, and hopefully, you know, he could continue 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.760 his great successor in the NFL. So so Church and 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.440 I gotta play devil's advocate here and say, you know, 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.520 we got a guy by the name of Big Cat 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.320 here who some of us may have thought that that 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.680 may have been a possible hire for the defensive line 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.840 coach as well. So what do you think about Big 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.279 Cat not not getting that job and then you know, 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.360 hiring Aiden from outside. Yeah, that one, that one's kind 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.279 of a dagger right there, because because we all know 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.120 Big Cat, we love Big Cat, and he was there 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:43.480 each and every year I was a part of the 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.599 Dallas Cowboys, and he's a great friend of man on 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.000 and off the field, and you hate to kind of 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.920 see him not to get an opportunity like that because 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.880 he kind of paid his dudes behind Marionelli. He learned 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.599 everything behind Mary Nellie, and he was kind of the 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.320 guy that that orchestrated that defensive or that d law 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.920 emergence as a as a defensive end in this league. 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:02.160 He worked with him every day after practice and before 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.279 practice and next thing. You know, d Law became a 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.680 perennial Pro Bowl player and one of the highest paid 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.640 guys in the National Football League. So Big Kat knows 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.159 what he's doing out there. He was a veteran in 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.200 his NFL league for a long time, and he can 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.799 relate to the players. So you hate to see somebody 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.920 like that who's paid his dudes not really get an 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.080 opportunity to be a head coach or be a head 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.120 defensive line coach. But you know, I'm sure his opportunity 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.200 will come once in a while. One of these days, 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.599 I'm sure it'll come. So let me piggyback on this. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.839 He was the assistant D line coach. I don't know 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.080 if he's backs as the assistant D line coach. But 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.200 what does it due to a guy's confidence when you 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.240 see someone who was in your same position, like Mark Colombo, 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.440 former player as it served as an assistant and eventually 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.360 rose up. Mark got to become the offensive line coach 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.520 for the Cowboys. And here you are, Leon. Let you 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.160 know you had a better career than Colombo. You are 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.480 part of three Super Bowl teams. You played this game, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.280 You've helped mentor and developed guys, and you get passed 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.039 over for someone who was a practice squad player who 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.760 never played in the league. How does that? How do 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.000 guys process that? Well, if it was me, I mean, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.920 or go ahead, d Mac? Go ahead? Yeah, And I's 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.160 gonna say, I mean, I'm sure it's a tough thing 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.800 to do. But if you think about Lea letting him 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.240 being being the guy that they is and planning the 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.480 league for such a long time, he's faced a lot 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.560 of adversity. He has been able to put stuff behind 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.240 him and keep moving forward, knowing that his chance will come. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.760 So I don't think he loves any confidence. I think 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.720 it just puts a bigger chip on the shoulder. He's 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.039 going to prove itself. And once he does get his opportunity, 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.320 I think he'll be a great D line coach. His 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.039 temperament is a little different than some other guys. He's 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.560 more of like a player's coach, and you just have 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.560 to have the right guy who wants to hire that 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.159 type of coach. But I think once he gets his 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.919 opportunity and he knows this that that he will be 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.240 able to be a successful defensive line coach. Yeah, And 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.240 I think d Mac, you hit it right on the head. Man. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.760 I think his temperament, Um, it's kind of holding them 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.480 back a little bit, to be honest. I mean most guys, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.040 when you think of a D line coach, you think 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.400 of a gout us in your face. You know, we 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.040 don't take any bs here, you know, just basically all 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.360 just intensity, just all intense. And that's the exact opposite 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.280 of Leon lett Man. He was called big Cat for 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.480 a reason. I mean, this guy is smooth. He's he's smooth, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.080 but he's very calm. He's very calm, and you never 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.960 really see him get angry, get frustrated. And I'm not 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.040 sure if that you know that's going into you know, 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.040 his coaching or interviews or anything like that. But he's 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.080 very very calm, very just very mellow. And I don't 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.520 know if that kind of fits with the with the 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.840 NFL nowadays, but hopefully he'll be able to get his 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:40.040 opportunity soon. All right, Um, let's some of these two 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.040 position coaches here, and that go back to something I 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.400 spoke about weeks ago right here on the Players Lines, 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.960 which is brought to you by Hotels dot com. Was 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.440 it if you were going to bring in a new 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.160 defensive coordinator, what you needed to do. Was allowed that 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.320 coordinator to bring in coaches that he knew. So these 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.360 are two coaches that Dan Quinn worked with in it. Lantin, 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.000 he's got a guy who can work the back for him, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.400 and he's also the passing game coordinator. Dan's expertise comes 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.000 in the defensive line, so he brings in a guy 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.480 and dirty who knows exactly what he wants up front 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.040 with a defensive line, and I guess the middle linebacker 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.120 position will I mean the linebacker position will see if 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:20.720 they keep the guy who'd been there because that guy 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.600 had been with McCarthy Al Harris. I am assuming Al 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.520 Harris will still be a part of this defensive back 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.600 unit as a coach. He was also a guy who 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.400 was with McCarthy and Green Bay, so I anticipate those 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.440 guys will have some type of role there. But I 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.560 just think one of the biggest problems I know one 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.840 of the biggest problems between Chris Richard and Rod Baronelli 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.439 is they had different philosophies on how the back and 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.640 the front should work. I remember that Chris Rashard wanted 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.680 to bring in a linebacker coach, but the cowboy said no, 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.760 we got Ben Bloom. You gotta go with Ben Bloom 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.080 and Ben Bloom and get Chris Rashard had issues, So 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.440 right out of the gate, I want to commend the 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.440 Cowboys for at least giving Dan Quinn an opportunity to 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.600 bring in the coaches so he doesn't to coach the coaches. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.840 And it seemed last year that was a part of 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.640 an issue that I thought Mike McCarthy at the time 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.040 so spoke about when he talked about not having continuity 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.040 at the staff. So at least you're bringing in some 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:16.200 defensive guys here who have a continuity with the head coach. Any, Yeah, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.520 I think that's really important, and I really don't think 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.880 that they like really put an emphasis on that since 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.760 they hired Rob Ryan, who was able to bring in 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.280 all of his guys. Like you said, Christian Sharton and 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.960 Rob Marionelli were two guys who are running the defense 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.040 and they didn't really see out of aland certain stuff. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.679 Rob Marinelli was a rush four, you know, played cover 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.360 one type guy, and Christian shardt was a Cover of 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.200 three type guy with a little bit of disguys. But 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.560 you know, just play your position to make some big 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.920 hits and get some turnover so that they saw things 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.360 a little different. And yeah, shout out to the Cowboys, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:45.920 but I don't think they really had a choice. And 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.040 this was because if you just look at the defense 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.800 over the past few years, we hadn't been successful. So 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.080 you have to try something new. And if you really 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.080 want to give dan Quinn a fair shot, you have 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.320 to let him bring his guys in. And you know, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.000 so he could put those guys in the best position possible. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.720 And they know him, They knowbody he wants to run, 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.520 they know how he wants to teach it, and that 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.920 can only help these guys, right, so everybody can be 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.800 on the same page, because, like they say, if we 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.559 all right, we're good. If we all wrong, then we're 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.480 still all right. But once you guys, though, once you 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.600 have those guys on different pages and half the secondaries 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.360 planing cover two, half the secondaries plan cover one, then 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.800 you can't be successful in that play. But if you 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.800 have all the guys playing the same thing on every 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.000 single snap, then you have a good chance of being 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:32.720 successful on defense. What are the most critical hires that 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.160 they made was Harold Nash Jr. Who becomes the strength 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.199 and conditioning coach, and this is, as you guys can 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.720 tell tell all of our our players, lounge listeners, and viewers, 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.360 the strength coach in the off season is one of 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:52.520 the most important coaches in the entire building Church. Yeah, 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.960 you're not lying about that one. I mean, well, first 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.360 and foremost, we met. We met the new strength and 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.760 condition to coach during the offseason when me and McCray 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:01.520 were in. They're just working out and he's a great dude, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.360 and I'm sure he will get the most out of 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.440 his players during his strength and condition and process. But 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.360 during the off season, this is the guy you need 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.400 to become best friends with. I mean, this is a 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.160 guy that's gonna put you through everything to get you 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.480 ready for the season. You don't even see your coaches 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.320 for the most part. I mean you might run into 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.199 him in the hallway, or you might you know, see 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.000 him in the in the cafeteria or something like that. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.880 But the strength and conditioning staff, those are the guys 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.640 you're gonna be with night in and night out, working out, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.679 doing whatever you gotta do to get ready for the season, 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.920 especially if you're rehabbing. Those are gonna be your best 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.040 friends throughout the whole off season. So you gotta get 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.520 to know this guy, and you gotta get to know 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.600 this guy very soon because when it's when this off 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.120 season program starts picking up. You know, if we don't 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.000 have you know, the COVID protocols and all that stuff, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.120 once that thing starts picking up, you're gonna need to 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.160 hit that thing full ground running. And I believe they 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.640 got the right guy to do it. Yeah. And like 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.760 Church said, we met him throughout the throughout the off season, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.840 and he seems like a stand up guy. Man. He 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.880 seemed like he's gonna be great in that position. He 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.760 also has a hell of a track record. Man, he's 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.880 been doing this for a long time around the league. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.760 And and like you said, he man the strifth coach. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.840 People don't realize how important that guy is, and the 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.480 guy and the whole strength staff, because there's nobody more 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.560 in tune with improving your performance throughout the off season 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.120 than the strength staff. Right. The coaches, they get you, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.520 and they have depended on the strip staff to help them, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.560 I guess, cultivate whatever your weaknesses were that previous season 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.400 or weakness that they see and on film. The strength 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.960 coaches are the guys who they depend on to help 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.560 you improve that. Right, So throughout the whole all season, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.200 the way that the coaches are communicating with the strength coaches, Hey, 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.160 we need this guy to be able to do this 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.400 better next season. So when training camp comes, it's the 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.719 strip strength coaches job to be able to say, Hey, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.000 this is what we did, this is how they improve, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.800 and this is why this player is playing better. He's faster, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.160 he's bigger, he's stronger this season. So strength coaches are 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.640 probably the most important people as far as to the 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.640 players and their improvement of performance throughout the offseason. I 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.880 got a quick question for both. The quick question, what 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.520 what do you guys think of them not promoting Kendall 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.760 up to the top top strength and conditioning coach. I mean, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.400 he's been there for a long time. He was under Um, 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:17.920 he was he was he was under Worstick for the 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.800 for the longest him and Brad Best. I just want 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.000 to know what y'all thought about him not getting promoted 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:27.480 up to that top strength coach conditioning. Uh yeah, I 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.880 don't listen. I think that's a tough one just because 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.559 Kendall doesn't have as much experience as the guys who 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.040 came before him. I think they are building up his experience, 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.120 and I think he's gonna get some looks as he 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.080 moves on and gains more years with the Cowboys. I 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.199 think his next move would be his best move, and 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.120 I think he'll he'll get a strength coach job wherever 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.800 he goes next. But right now, I think they just 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.160 went with a guy who has more experience in that position. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.880 You know, right here, just reading the bio for Harold 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.920 Nash junior sixteen seasons in the National Football League, UM, 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.200 you know, the assistant strength and conditioning coach for Marcus 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.640 Paul last year, and you know, talk about just him 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:12.040 working in Detroit, UM, working for the New England Patriots. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:19.720 So he's been around UM. And just like we talked 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.240 about with Big Kat leon Lett not not getting promoted 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.760 to be the D line coach, it's it's tough and 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.880 how do you how do you handle it? We'll see, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:34.280 we'll see. But obviously this is a guy that Marcus Paul, 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.960 the late Marcus Paul, God Rest, his soul was grooming. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.960 And I give the Cowboys credit for this one thing here. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.080 Obviously they thought that Marcus Paul was grooming him and 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.440 they were comfortable with him and I do think it's 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.320 important to have someone in that position who understands the culture, 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.560 understands the coaching staff, and understands the Jones family. I 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.200 think this would be a tough job for anyone to 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.480 come into who didn't have an understanding of how the 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:05.480 Dallas Cowboys organization work. Okay, all right. Kellen Moore interviewed 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.360 with the Philadelphia Eagles to become their head coach. He 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.080 did not get the job. The job went to someone 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.560 who has less qualifications than Kellen Moore. The job went 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.359 to a gentleman named Nick Sirianni, who's the Cults offensive coordinator. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.520 Kellen Moore has called plays the last two seasons in 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.960 the National Football League. Sirianni, freshly hired by the Eagles, 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.800 has never called plays. Frank Wright called the plays. But 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:33.280 because there was this feeling that Carson Wentz has been 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.600 lost since frank Wright left Philadelphia as they offensive coordinated, 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.160 become the Colts head coach. And since they couldn't get 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.920 Frank Reich, they got the closest thing. They got somebody 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.200 who stood next to frank Wright. So this is the 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.440 mindset of the Eagles to hire their next head coach. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:55.520 To say you can fix Carson Wentz Okay, Personally, I'm 0:15:55.520 --> 0:16:00.480 not buying this. I'm just not buying it. What about you, mccraig. Listen, 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.400 I'm not buying it. And I think the Eagles are 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.160 in shambles right now. I don't think they really have 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.160 any idea what's going on. And like, I think we 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.160 were texting in our DM and you were saying something 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.160 about Keller Moore getting an interview, and I was like, listen, 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.040 they are interviewing everybody. I mean, just because Keller Moore 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.360 got an interview doesn't mean anything. I think they interviewed 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.520 ten or eleven guys for that job, and uh and 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.040 and most most of the guys had had the feeling 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.560 that they weren't going to get it. They were just 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.280 running through the middle of seeing what it was. And oh, 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.600 I'll be it too. I'm surprised it was a guy 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.840 that nobody expected to get the job for the Cowboys. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.800 I think it's great. I don't I don't know what 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.240 this guy is gonna be as a head coach, but 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:39.840 I don't think he's going to be a guy that's 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.880 going to be coaching and beating the Cowboys. So for us, 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.600 I think it's great. I don't understand the move. I 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.360 would have you know, I probably would have took the 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.480 chance from Keller Moore because, like you said, he has 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.840 some creative stuff and they want to do something different. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.920 But you know, what do we know? Man? Like I said, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.760 we're not gems, We're just we're just talking heads here. Yeah, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.280 and I'm an agreement with all you guys on this one. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.080 I just don't understand the hire. I'm sure it has 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.959 something to do with Frank right. You know, they get 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:06.879 given his blessings to the Eagles, saying, you know, this 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.000 is the new up and coming guy even though he 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.960 didn't call plays for me, you know, he was involved 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.119 in the in the game planning process, and this is 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.080 a guy that's gonna fix Carson Wentz and all that 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.760 good stuff. I just don't understand that man, the guy 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.480 he wasn't calling plays, he has less experience than Kellen Moore, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.320 and not saying Kellen Moore was the best, you know, 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.959 option to hire for the Eagles. But overall, I mean, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.920 I feel like they're just giving guys that you know 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.080 who got the blessings. If it's Andy Reid got gave 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:31.760 him his blessings who'll give it to him. If it's 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.920 Frank Wright, who had the best season with Carson Wentz, 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.200 he gave him his blessings for Sceario, so now he's 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.080 the head coach over there. I just I don't get it. 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.200 I don't understand the hiring process these past couple of 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.200 years because you got guys that just haven't they haven't 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.639 done much, but are getting these head coaching jobs. I mean, 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.480 look at Zach Taylor. Look at the guy from Texas 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.000 Tech who's over at Arizona, Cliff Thingsbury. Now, I mean 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.720 these guys they just don't they haven't done that much 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.880 to be able to consider to have a head coaching job. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.440 But here we are right there ready they're getting their jobs. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.359 And then you have guys like Eric bn Me who 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.639 they say, you know, don't call the plays or anything 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.080 like that, but I mean he's orchestrating in the offense. 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.240 That's one of the best that we've seen in NFL history, 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.639 and he all he can get his interviews. So for me, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.119 I just don't understand the hiring process right here. But 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.480 like like mcrai said, it's good for the Cowboys because 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.280 I don't see the Eagles getting out of this dumpster 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.400 fire anytime soon, shout out the shout out the top 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.440 balls and Eric be enemy man. We don't we don't 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.600 understand it. Like at the church, you mentioned that Andy 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.240 Reid giving blessings and that's one blessing that he can give, 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.160 and they still not giving them a head coaching job. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.520 So it's perplexing to me. And hopefully, hopefully next season 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.119 we start to see a change one of these one 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:36.760 of these years, we'll start to see a change in 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.679 this stuff. But Tip Bowls orchestrating that defense over there 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.679 in Tampa, and you know what, he had to deal 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.840 with it with the Jets. I think he deserves another 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.000 chance in b Enemy. He absolutely deserves deserves a shot 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.959 because what he's doing up there in Kansas City. They 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.240 are on their way possibly till their second Super Bowl 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.520
