Speaker 4: A lot of USC alum came out hard against the

178
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: program and all kinds of stuff.

179
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 6: Hey, man, Lincoln Riley, in his first four years that

180
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 6: are now completed at USC has not won a conference title.

181
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: Nor has he ever been to the college football playoff.

182
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 6: And then last night, on the heels of an inexplicable

183
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 6: overtime loss the TCU and the Alamo Bowl, had the

184
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 6: nerve to say that the glass is half full here

185
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 6: in Southern cal Take a listen.

186
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: I really believe a window here has opened up.

187
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 7: That's taken a lot of effort by a lot of people,

188
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 7: a lot of commitment by a.

189
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,119
Speaker 2: Lot of people for fun, but really.

190
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: Challenging years to get it open.

191
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 9: And that's open now.

192
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 7: We all feel that all of us that are that

193
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 7: are fortunate.

194
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 9: To be able to come back here next year because

195
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 9: it's not our right.

196
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: Coaching or the.

197
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: Playing working at USC is not anybody's right, and so

198
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: it's a privilege, and those of us have the privilege

199
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: that would come back.

200
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 10: We know what our job is is to make all

201
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 10: the efforts of all those people, the last four years

202
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 10: worth of when that's what.

203
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 9: We're going to do.

204
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Listen, let me tell you something, man. You mentioned it.

205
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: That's your school. Obviously we live here and everything, and

206
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: it's all we're by USC. It's a big deal, man.

207
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: It ain't been a big deal since they had Pete

208
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Carroll and of course Matt and Lioner and Reggie Bush

209
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: and that's it.

210
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: And Pete Carroll wasn't collecting Social Security back then.

211
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Right, No, no, no, he was still young in spribe, right,

212
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: just so you thought he was a leading man in Hollywood.

213
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: Out here.

214
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Let me get into Stinking Riley, not Lincoln Riley, but

215
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Stinking Riley. You know why I say that, because all

216
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: the fanfare that came with it, all of the huahi

217
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: and all of this is going to be that. You

218
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: know what it is is Clay Helton Part two. And

219
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: I was here working in sports radio the other place

220
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: at that time, and oh, Clay Helton's just he's just

221
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: a guy, Bridge guy.

222
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: He's just to this.

223
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Well, Clay Helton kept getting a little bit better, a

224
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: little bit better, and then finally they let him go.

225
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: And then eventually we get to Lincoln Riley where it's

226
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: the same thing. And what world you and I see

227
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: there every day? And what world can a coach at

228
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: a prominent university say after four years, yeah, her window

229
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: just open.

230
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: No coming coming off a loss that they shouldn't they shouldn't.

231
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: You know, you have fun big ones to stand up

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: exactly and say that after that situation because none of

233
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: that makes.

234
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Sex percent to come and to come off of that

235
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: from just a couple of years earlier, you had two

236
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: years with a Heisman winner and a Heisman hopeful again

237
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: trying to win back to back in Kyleb Williams.

238
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: So it's not like you.

239
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: Came into a program that was three and nine and

240
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: you're building it up having somewhere. You came in with

241
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: your guy Kayleb Williams, and you've had all the resources,

242
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: everything you need.

243
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: You're at USC.

244
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: We know the endowby, we know all the lure of it,

245
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: and nothing to show for but Clay Helton two point zero.

246
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: And again when you go back to what Pete Carroll

247
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: was doing with it with this team, and if you

248
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: want to just say, hey, it takes some cheating to win,

249
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: because if you take that out, what has USC really

250
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: done and they last forty.

251
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: Years really nothing. And here's the other thing too, And

252
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: not to mention one more point.

253
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: You and I talked about this and we're gonna get

254
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more deeper into the traditions of college football.

255
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: Rob and he's also advocate. I mean, I don't mind

256
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: not playing Notre Dame anymore. I'm cool with it if

257
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna help us. And it's like, dude, don't be

258
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: scared of that smoke. Number One, people enjoy the rivalry.

259
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: They enjoy the tradition of it. Number two, you shouldn't

260
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: be ducking smoke any idea that the window just opened

261
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: and a big ten conference where you got to see

262
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: your foes like the now the coach who is gonna

263
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: be coaching Michigan who had beating you, beating that school

264
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: a few times when he's at Utah. You got Oregon, Michigan,

265
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: you got, of course Indiana, now, you got Ohio State,

266
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: you got teams like Iowa, Wisconsin that pop up, you

267
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: got Penn State that much to bounce back. So the

268
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: idea that he's just all will be good now is

269
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: kind of crazy to me.

270
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: Well, I agree that, considering that he's coming off of

271
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 4: not only losing that game the TCU, but the whole

272
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: Notre Dame thing of not playing them, and in reality,

273
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: Notre Dame cut themselves such a sweet deal that all

274
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 4: you do is be the top twelve and they automatically

275
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: get a bit, you know, in the college Football playoff.

276
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: So if you're USC and you beat them, wouldn't that

277
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: improve and enhance your chances of getting there? Because if

278
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: they're in the top twelve and you beat them, how

279
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: in the world are gonna leave us out? So I

280
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: don't know why you would ditch that or the idea

281
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: of playing USC thinking that that's an issue. And uh,

282
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 4: you're afraid, as some of the other players former players

283
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: have called out, like this is skirting being afraid.

284
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: What are you afraid of? Smoking?

285
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: You?

286
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: And I said here, I don't know, maybe say within

287
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: the last week or so, and guys like Keishawn Johnson

288
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: some of the other alum guys who taking to social

289
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: media who played there saying hey, what are we doing here?

290
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: I was letting this go a little bit. I was

291
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 3: letting this.

292
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 4: Line and they were ripping on Matt Liner because he

293
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: lockstep with the coach.

294
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: But you never know, you know what I'm.

295
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 4: Saying, like, I don't know how anybody who competes would

296
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 4: want to not take on some of the best schools

297
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: Like this whole idea to me is horrible.

298
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: It just is.

299
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: And you got to understand Notre Dame is a different animal.

300
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: That's why they have a deal with NBC Sports for

301
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: the last twenty five years.

302
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: They're different and you.

303
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 4: Just have to accept that because no other school has

304
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: a singular deal that pays them. Their fan base travels,

305
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 4: they have a huge fan base, Like, let's not be

306
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: kidding ourselves. Notre Dame is unlike anybody. That's why they

307
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: get away with it. That's why they're allowed to do that.

308
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: That's why they before they agreed to the whole college

309
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: football and knicks Man well top twelve, we're.

310
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: In no matter what. Yeah, how many schools could go

311
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: in and do that. Nobody.

312
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: But then to your point, why duck that go beat them?

313
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: Show us up. That's what I'm saying. TI creat the

314
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: rivalry and you do that, and again he just keeps

315
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: he's he's always coming out of something and it's always

316
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: something else. It's always something that's excuse, it's always you know,

317
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't feel like he comes in

318
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: and he's he's owning up, he's taking responsibility and putting

319
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: this program where they think they should be, when in reality,

320
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: what have they really been. Like I said, aside from

321
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: those couple of years two three years with UH with

322
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, but I just I'm just kind of always

323
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: disappointing from what I hear from him, and coming off

324
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: a loss, coming off of a disappointing loss at that,

325
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: coming off of another season where he you know, he's

326
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: not hasn't produced in the way he should have, and

327
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: to walk around like her windows just open. Well, I've

328
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of coaches wish they could get four

329
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: years of doing really nice nothing and saying now I'm

330

Speaker 1: Yeah, most people don't get that run that leeway. That's

408
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: what I'm saying for him to be the windows now open.

409
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Most people, your door is being shut on your button,

410

Speaker 4: this year was ninety three million dollars. Crazy. Thanks for

414
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: the call, Casey. Chris and Atar Ontario. I'm gonna say

415
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 4: that California. I think he misremembers Ontario.

416
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: Throw California. What's up, Chris?

417
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 9: Oh God, what's going on?

418
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 3: Oh God, there we go give him a ring? Oh God,

419
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: oh world.

420
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 9: No, Lincoln Riley needs to be fired. Even if you

421
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 9: don't watch college football. The thing is his defense has

422
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 9: always been bad. I don't go home, and his defense

423
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 9: was horrible. He comes to USC and brings a horrible defense,

424
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 9: and now he's scared to put that defense on the

425
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 9: field and he's.

426
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 5: Running from the smoke. So my question is, after.

427
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 9: Lincoln Riding gets fired, do you think USC comes back

428
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 9: right away after the two year agreement to be like, hey,

429
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 9: let's get back in this note to Dame fight so

430
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 9: we can show.

431
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 5: Them what we're made up like they should be.

432
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 3: That's a good question, and thank you for the call.

433
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: Happy New Years to you.

434
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: I could see, yes, I can see them trying to

435
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to do it because again,

436
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: so many people it mattered to them, so many of

437
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: the alum, big names guys who play there. They're like,

438
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: hey man, this is tradition, this is what USC is

439
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: all about. So I can see them trying to say clear,

440
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, clear the palette and let's start over.

441
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 3: I can see that again. Absolutely, All right.

442
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: Jordan in DC, you're on the odd couple of Fox

443
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: Sports Radio.

444
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 3: What's up, Jordan?

445
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 5: Oh Hey, happy New Year guys. Oh god, oh.

446
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: Nice job. Jordan, Oh, gone, fine.

447
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 10: Yes, But guys, I think I think Lincoln Riley is

448
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 10: done after next year.

449
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 5: You know.

450
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 10: You know, here's a couple of coaches who will hired

451
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 10: the same offseason he was Marcus Freeman, who's been to

452
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 10: a national title, and Dan Lannon, who's in his second

453
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 10: college football playoffs. You know who also was hired the

454
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 10: same offseason, Brian Kelly. He got fired from that, but

455
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 10: for failing the same way Lincoln Riley is. You know,

456
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 10: I think I think that you know that that you know, quickly,

457
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 10: he seemed like he turned from from uh what the

458
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 10: next uh McVeigh to the next can Hackett, you know,

459
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 10: and and and and and you know. Unfortunately, I think

460
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 10: his death nail was when, oh, you made the college

461
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 10: football playoff this year. Your old school made it before you, did.

462
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 10: You know, I think I think I think it's.

463
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 5: Over for now, Jordan.

464
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: That is a great point. Happy New Year's Eve to you.

465
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: Happy New Year.

466
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,840

00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 12: me tell you something right now, Kelvin, you can't just

475
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 12: ride off our three year run like that when we

476
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 12: beat your Michigan wolver Reeds for a national championship. I

477
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 12: was at that game at the Row.

478
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Di don't nobody ask you to go in the Delaia

479
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: and Kevin and go back in time. We're talking about

480
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: right now, because if you want to go right now,

481
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Michigan just won a championship year and a half.

482
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: Two years ago.

483
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 12: We just beat you guys though at the Coliseum. That

484
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 12: was one of the biggest win of the seasons. Lincoln

485
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 12: Riley has the number one recouoniter class. Nobody's talking about.

486
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: He had number one or two last year. Kevin, he

487
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: had number two last year. Kevin.

488
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 12: We got We got Rob Ryan coming and bringing the

489
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 12: fire back to this university. I was there with Reggie

490
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 12: Bush on twenty eighth Street, Lyndel White, Terrell Thomas First

491
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 12: so H, Steve Dennis from Long Beach Cary, and Darnell Bean.

492
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 12: We're coming back. Will we get the street cooning class

493
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 12: in next season, You're gonna see what this seam looks like.

494
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 12: And if Lencoln Riley can't get it done, we'll go

495
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 12: get Robert Sala, We'll get somebody else, like like a P.

496
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 5: Carroll Eqaling.

497
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 12: But Lincoln Riley has turned this whole offense around.

498
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: He didn't win it with Caleb Boymans.

499
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 12: He didn't do that, of course, but he's gotta let's

500
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 12: see if he gets his number one recruiting class into

501
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 12: the playoff next season. I think he will do it.

502
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 12: We can't just get rid of him, so you're gonna.

503
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 5: Hire everybody else is hired by the team.

504
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 12: And don't sit up there and ignore the fact that

505
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 12: the NCAA and Mark Emert took away our recruits and

506
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 12: our prominent dynasty run by taking our giving ready for

507
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:27,920

Speaker 1: Do you want to start it's a whole bunch of NFL?

528
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I want to start with the meltdown that

529
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: has been the Los Angeles ram oh oh oh go

530
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 4: on ten ten days ago to number one seed out West,

531
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford's going to win the MVP, blah blah blah

532
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: blah blah. And they were up thirty to fourteen in

533
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: Seattle in a statement game. And it has been bad

534
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: since then. What What what's hop What hap? And Lucy

535
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 4: is what I.

536
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 3: Want to ask?

537
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, what happened Seattle was their special teams

538
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 5: were a train wreck. They gave up a punt return

539
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 5: for a touchdown, they missed the field goal, they gave

540
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 5: up another big actually it wasn't a big return. Second

541
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 5: I was a shank punt, So they gave up bad

542
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 5: field position, and that's they lost the Eagles game. Yep,

543
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 5: two of them. They missed two kicks against the Niners

544
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: in an overtime loss.

545
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: But there's no way against Atlanta, a six and nine team,

546
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 4: they should have been down twenty one to nothing.

547
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: Stafford's picks all over the place. That was a bad loss.

548
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: Oh no, that's a brutal loss to me. That's that's

549
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 5: a carryover offs. That's a game where you lose to Seattle,

550
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 5: you don't get emotionally right over the next ten days.

551
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 5: You come out flat in a building that you see,

552
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 5: you look, we're gonna go in and win that game.

553
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 5: Atlanta is not good and all of a sudden, to

554
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 5: your point, yeah, you make a couple of mistakes, Bijon

555
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: runs a ninety three yard touchdown, and then all of

556
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 5: a sudden you're looking up the scoreboard going what happened?

557
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 5: I mean, they came back late, but it was too late.

558
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: I still think they're the most talented team, but there

559
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 5: road is a lot tougher. Now. Now you're looking probably

560
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: three road games and maybe starting off in Silly, which

561
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 5: has been a horror show for them when they.

562
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: Lost last year. They lost last year.

563
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 5: Can't beat them. They played them three times in the

564
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 5: last calendar either can't beat them. So I mean that

565
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 5: is a much harder road than if they had held

566
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 5: on in Seattle.

567
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Well, let me stay in that same division and go

568
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. We talked about the Seahawks,

569
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: if we talked about the Rams, and forty nine has

570
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: just chugged along.

571
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: They have Mac Jones who Matt Jones in there. They

572
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: also had one of the easiest schedules, yes for.

573
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: But here they are with a chance to get into

574
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: the postseason and do what they've done the last seven

575
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: eight years, get to a super Bowl. If they get in,

576
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: how is there are they able to do this? And

577
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: where do you look at rock Party now? I think

578
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: what five six in a row? Since he's been.

579
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 5: Back, he's playing very well. I mean the last three

580
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: weeks ago all love the touchdown Passes's played very well

581
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: down the stretch. He did not play well early, but

582
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 5: he's playing well. Now. Look, I wrote after the game

583
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 5: for US, I we have to day that crazy game.

584
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 5: They beat Chicago on Sunday night. This is not the

585
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 5: best team Chanahan's ever coached there, it's not even close.

586
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: But this is probably his best shot to win a

587
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 5: Super Bowl because there's no Mahomes waiting in the Super

588
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 5: Bowl for him. You know, the NFC is just like

589
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: the AC. There's no great team. And if you're the Niners,

590
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: you're looking at this we went on Saturday night. Not

591
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 5: only do we have home field, a dance through the

592
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: NCY plas. You're hosting the Super Bowl, you're hosting the games.

593
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you are here. Here's my only problem

594
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: with that. I hear you.

595
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: Shanahan has been awful in big games. To close him out,

596
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: he was the offensive coordinator in that terrible loss to

597
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 4: the Patriots. And people always say, oh, you can't blame him,

598
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 4: Yes I can. When you have a first intendant to

599
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: twenty two. After Julio Jones makes his unbelievable catch to

600
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 4: get you in field goal range and you're passing the

601
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: ball a hold and a sack, you're out of field

602
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: goal range and Tom Brady beat you right in overtime.

603
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 4: Then you have two ten point leads where you dominated

604
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: Kansas City, Kansasity look terrible in both of those games,

605
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 4: and then you give it up. That's can Shanahan close

606
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 4: the deal? That's what I'm afraid of, not so much

607
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: the team. He hasn't shown me that he can win.

608
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 5: Robert question, And you know what, I point to the

609
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 5: guy who beat him in the one Tuper Bowl or

610
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 5: actually both Troop Bowls is Andy Andy Rae. Like that

611
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 5: was the same question about Andy Reid forever. Hey, you

612
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: know what great coach, great scheme, all that stuff, and

613
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: then the big games he can't coach his way out

614
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 5: of a paper back. Now always to knock on Andy Reid.

615
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 5: And then now looks what change Andy got? Patrick ball right?

616
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 8: Right?

617
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 5: Of course Shanahan does not have that and rock pretty

618
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: But I think you know again, the reason I would

619
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 5: say that this is his best shot is because look

620
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 5: around the league, nobody's say good, this is whoever wins

621
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl is year I'm thirty seven. It's probably

622
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: the worst team I've ever seen one of Super Bowl,

623
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: no matter who it is. So if I'm the Niners,

624
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 5: I'm going, if we win Saturday Night, who do you

625
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 5: have to be to get to the super Bowl.

626
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 4: So my other question would be, Matt, if they don't win,

627
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: so you just they don't win, right then you got

628
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 4: to really start to look at it and go, who

629
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 4: what what's the deal here with Shanahan?

630
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 5: Seriously, Yeah, I think there's a lot of per if

631
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 5: they're the number one seed, they on Saturday Night and

632
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 5: they don't get to the super Bowl or they don't

633
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 5: win the super Bowl, because I think they should be

634
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: anybody who comes out of the AFC. I mean, if

635
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 5: they don't, yeah, you're gonna have a lot of people saying, man,

636
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: he's just never gonna do. I think it's the same

637
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: in a different way with Buffalo and the AFC, where

638
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 5: you look at Allen and go, if not now when

639
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 5: you can't win your super Bowl, Matt, and I know

640
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 5: if they're an imperfect team to everybody is this year

641
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: like if you if you're Josh Allen, you can't lose

642
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 5: the bon Knicks in the divisional round. I'm sorry, I

643
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 5: don't care. The Denver has a really good defense. I

644
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 5: don't know, you can't lose to Trevor Lawrence. Those two

645
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 5: teams are probably under more pressure and those two guys,

646
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 5: Shanahan and Allen than anybody else in football.

647
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: I do want to ask one more question.

648
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: Uh, the Lions and the Chiefs, Right, we're both the

649
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 4: number one seeds. Just a year ago before the Seeds

650
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: thought I picked them both not to make the playoffs.

651
00:28:53,960 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: I'm just asking, tell Matt, but which one which was worse? Like, like,

652
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: I get it the cheese, but the law. I don't

653
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 4: think that anybody thought the Lions wouldn't even make the

654
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: playoffs either, seriously, like a year ago.

655
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 5: Yes, I get the point. No, I think like the Chiefs.

656
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 5: Obviously their season was worse. But I think if you're

657
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 5: asking in terms of like which one feels sicker, right,

658
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 5: be the Lions? Right? Because the Chiefs are a dynasty.

659
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 5: They've won exactly exactly. You're the Chiefs, you're going home

660
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: going all right, the you're stunk, But hey, look at all

661
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 5: the rings I have, right, you know, Like if you're

662
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 5: the Lions, you're going, oh my god, we blew the

663
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 5: NFC Tyler Game. Two years. Last year we had this

664
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 5: disaster of a loss against Washington, and this year in

665
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 5: a year that is as open as anybody can remember,

666
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 5: You're not even in the dance, were not even to

667
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 5: the Chiefs. You're just sitting there going, yeah, it was

668
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 5: an off year. What are you going to do? And

669
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: then the other part of the two guys is, honestly,

670
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 5: if you're the chief you've got Mahomes if he comes

671
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 5: back healthy, you're like, this is a one off deal.

672
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 5: We're going to be back in the play off next

673
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 5: year and we're gonna be dangerous for the next decade.

674
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 5: Or if you're the Lions, you're looking at it going

675
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 5: how many more bites gap? What do we have?

676
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: Especially because that division has gotten better too.

677
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Hey real quick for me before we

678
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: let you go, Matt, you brought up the bills. When

679
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: I look at the AFC, I've been telling Rob g

680
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: our producer here, that I just think, like you said,

681
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: NFC should whoever goes should win. I don't think the

682
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: AFC really has a complete team. Maybe the Patriots would say, hey,

683
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: what about us?

684
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: Who is it? Is it the Patriots? Is it? Maybe

685
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: the Texans?

686
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, where we've seen teams with great

687
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: defenses take it all the way. As long as you

688
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: get solid quarterback play, you think of the Bucks, the

689
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: Buccaneers back in the day. You think of the Ravens

690
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: back in the day, even those Giants teams where if

691
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: the offenseis make a player too, the defense can carry

692
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: the day.

693
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: Are the Texans like that?

694
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: They are? Look, I would say this about Houston, like

695
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 5: they're not my pick to get to the Super Bowl,

696
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 5: but they can absolutely do them up just on the

697
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 5: strength of, look, we're gonna give up ten points a

698
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 5: game for free weeks. I mean they you know, they're

699
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 5: not gonna face unless they face hating. Who are they

700
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 5: facing that is a quarterback that you go that guy's

701
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: gonna carve him. I mean, great May has been awesome

702
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 5: this year. He's also very young, and I don't know

703
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: that he's gonna go hang thirty on Houston. Like maybe

704
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 5: he can, I don't know, but they don't have a

705
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 5: beat weapons. I do like New England the most of

706
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 5: any of the AFC teams. I think the probably the

707
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 5: most complete the coach quarterback. But with Buffalo, yeah, look,

708
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: I think it's you know, look, they're the team that's

709
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 5: under pressent. Nobody else the AC is under a ton

710
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: of pressure a little because of the one seat and

711
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 5: all that, but like, realistically, no one th Extenver's winning

712
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl outside of Denver, if Buffalo, if they're

713
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 5: at the sixth seat and a loose to Jacksonville in

714
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 5: the wild card round. I mean, the narrative around Josh

715
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: Allen is going to start to change, and right or wrong,

716
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 5: it's gonna start to change.

717
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, I just as loyal.

718
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,200
