11
00:00:44,988 --> 00:00:45,428
Speaker 3: How are you?

12
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:46,188
Speaker 2: I'm doing well.

13
00:00:46,268 --> 00:00:48,428
Speaker 3: We read your name a couple times this month. You

14
00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:50,668
Speaker 3: had some meetings with some teams. You want to tell

15
00:00:50,708 --> 00:00:51,908
Speaker 3: us what you've been up to since we've.

16
00:00:51,788 --> 00:00:53,908
Speaker 4: Seen last I interviewed with a few teams, you know,

17
00:00:53,948 --> 00:00:56,948
Speaker 4: looking at their their head coaching positions, and didn't get

18
00:00:56,948 --> 00:00:59,628
Speaker 4: the opportunity, but I'll tell you it was a tremendous experience.

19
00:00:59,668 --> 00:01:01,268
Speaker 4: It was kind of neat to get an opportunity to

20
00:01:01,308 --> 00:01:03,308
Speaker 4: talk to some of these owners and can tell you

21
00:01:03,348 --> 00:01:05,068
Speaker 4: a little bit more about what they are looking for

22
00:01:05,108 --> 00:01:07,948
Speaker 4: and what they hope to do this coming season.

23
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,348
Speaker 5: Well, I can say they're missing out on a great coach. Wow,

24
00:01:10,468 --> 00:01:13,268
Speaker 5: I and just like the greatness on a T shirt?

25
00:01:13,788 --> 00:01:14,468
Speaker 5: How about that?

26
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:15,188
Speaker 3: Let's go all that.

27
00:01:15,468 --> 00:01:17,388
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm wearing it in celebration of this

28
00:01:17,428 --> 00:01:20,668
Speaker 4: coming Super Bowl because Andy Reid, when I was in

29
00:01:20,788 --> 00:01:22,468
Speaker 4: Andy staff, one of the things that I always coach

30
00:01:22,468 --> 00:01:25,068
Speaker 4: always just to talk about where the heavyweight fights, the

31
00:01:25,108 --> 00:01:27,948
Speaker 4: heavyweight fights, and he would make that his theme of

32
00:01:27,948 --> 00:01:29,468
Speaker 4: the week. So for me, this is the theme of

33
00:01:29,468 --> 00:01:30,948
Speaker 4: the week because I really do think this is one

34
00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:32,788
Speaker 4: of the really good heavyweight fights that we're going to

35
00:01:32,788 --> 00:01:34,668
Speaker 4: get an opportunity to watch. I think this game is

36
00:01:34,668 --> 00:01:36,988
Speaker 4: going to be coming down to blows that each team's

37
00:01:37,028 --> 00:01:39,068
Speaker 4: going to throw at each other, and at the end,

38
00:01:39,068 --> 00:01:40,588
Speaker 4: it's going to be the one that hits the most

39
00:01:40,588 --> 00:01:42,228
Speaker 4: body shots that's going to win this football.

40
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:45,948
Speaker 3: Oh man, well, perfect, coach, awesome. Have we got some

41
00:01:45,988 --> 00:01:47,668
Speaker 3: topics we got to run through with you? All right,

42
00:01:48,148 --> 00:01:51,228
Speaker 3: let's begin in Dallas. It's a team that hopes to

43
00:01:51,228 --> 00:01:53,268
Speaker 3: find themselves playing in a Super Bowl sometime in the

44
00:01:53,308 --> 00:01:56,188
Speaker 3: near future, and with that, they have a new head coach. Yesterday,

45
00:01:56,268 --> 00:02:00,628
Speaker 3: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones introduced the team's newest head coach,

46
00:02:00,948 --> 00:02:02,108
Speaker 3: Bryan Schottenneimer.

47
00:02:02,148 --> 00:02:03,148
Speaker 2: Shot shot.

48
00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:05,948
Speaker 3: Nimer served as the Cowboys offensive coordinator for the last

49
00:02:05,948 --> 00:02:08,188
Speaker 3: two seasons, and now he gets the tap for the

50
00:02:08,228 --> 00:02:10,948
Speaker 3: head honcho job. Both Jerry Jones and the new coach

51
00:02:10,988 --> 00:02:13,748
Speaker 3: say the future is bright, or at least they hope.

52
00:02:13,788 --> 00:02:14,308
Speaker 2: So for this.

53
00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:21,148
Speaker 6: Team, this is the best way that we can go

54
00:02:21,228 --> 00:02:24,588
Speaker 6: to the playoffs and win. I'm not doing this by myself.

55
00:02:25,428 --> 00:02:28,548
Speaker 6: I've got the incredible support of Jerry, Steve and the

56
00:02:28,628 --> 00:02:32,188
Speaker 6: Jones family, the young men that are sitting behind you.

57
00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:39,628
Speaker 6: We're doing this together. So my message to the Cowboys

58
00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:42,628
Speaker 6: fans and community is we're gonna do this together.

59
00:02:43,988 --> 00:02:46,388
Speaker 2: We're gonna win, and we're gonna.

60
00:02:46,148 --> 00:02:49,388
Speaker 6: Win a championship. Otherwise, why are we doing it?

61
00:02:51,348 --> 00:02:51,468
Speaker 2: All?

62
00:02:51,548 --> 00:02:51,748
Speaker 7: Right?

63
00:02:51,788 --> 00:02:53,628
Speaker 3: Three and out, Keep it quick, keep it clean. We

64
00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:55,468
Speaker 3: got a lot of topics to get through. This is

65
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:58,988
Speaker 3: our first one. Our reaction to Jerry Jones saying that

66
00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:01,468
Speaker 3: the decision to hire that man as his head coach

67
00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:05,228
Speaker 3: gives the Cowboys their best chance to win, Peter.

68
00:03:06,628 --> 00:03:09,868
Speaker 8: Everything about this hire was unorthodox, even though he's been

69
00:03:09,868 --> 00:03:11,468
Speaker 8: in the building for the last three years as an

70
00:03:11,468 --> 00:03:15,228
Speaker 8: offensive coordinator. The fact that a we started off and

71
00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:17,828
Speaker 8: the Mike McCarthy thing dragged on so they couldn't even

72
00:03:17,868 --> 00:03:21,148
Speaker 8: interview guys like Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Matt n Aggie,

73
00:03:21,148 --> 00:03:23,548
Speaker 8: and Steve Spegnello because they missed the entire first week

74
00:03:23,548 --> 00:03:26,948
Speaker 8: of it. The fact that they actually go in house

75
00:03:27,548 --> 00:03:30,308
Speaker 8: after not making the playoffs last year and kind of

76
00:03:30,388 --> 00:03:33,108
Speaker 8: hitting the roadbump after twelve win season, twelve win season,

77
00:03:33,148 --> 00:03:35,668
Speaker 8: twelve win season and not advancing to the NFC Championship.

78
00:03:35,668 --> 00:03:38,868
Speaker 8: Brown and then Shotty himself, who by all accounts is

79
00:03:38,908 --> 00:03:42,268
Speaker 8: a good dude in a great offensive mind. He took

80
00:03:42,308 --> 00:03:46,148
Speaker 8: his first head coaching job interview in two thousand and

81
00:03:46,188 --> 00:03:47,868
Speaker 8: six with the Dolphins.

82
00:03:47,948 --> 00:03:48,748
Speaker 2: Let me say that again.

83
00:03:49,108 --> 00:03:51,548
Speaker 8: He had his first head coaching interview in two thousand

84
00:03:51,588 --> 00:03:55,108
Speaker 8: and six with the Dolphins, and it takes until twenty

85
00:03:55,188 --> 00:03:58,388
Speaker 8: twenty five for him to finally get that opportunity. And

86
00:03:58,428 --> 00:04:01,188
Speaker 8: I don't think Jerry and Steven really casted that wide

87
00:04:01,228 --> 00:04:03,348
Speaker 8: of a net. They only interviewed a certain group and

88
00:04:03,388 --> 00:04:05,668
Speaker 8: they didn't really go after some of the people from

89
00:04:05,708 --> 00:04:06,748
Speaker 8: outside of the building.

90
00:04:06,828 --> 00:04:08,948
Speaker 2: So this is an unorthodox hire.

91
00:04:09,068 --> 00:04:11,388
Speaker 8: But I guess we've got to give Jerry and Steven

92
00:04:11,428 --> 00:04:14,228
Speaker 8: the benefit of out And I'm certainly not taking anything

93
00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:16,188
Speaker 8: away from Brian Schottenheimer, who comes from one of the

94
00:04:16,188 --> 00:04:18,668
Speaker 8: great football families and deserves his shot to be an

95
00:04:18,748 --> 00:04:21,308
Speaker 8: NFL head coach. It just didn't feel like the most

96
00:04:21,468 --> 00:04:24,948
Speaker 8: orthodox process or how we've seen it been done by

97
00:04:24,988 --> 00:04:26,828
Speaker 8: other teams for the last two decades.

98
00:04:27,908 --> 00:04:30,068
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I agree with what Peter said, this

99
00:04:30,268 --> 00:04:33,508
Speaker 4: was very unorthodox. But the idea in the thought process,

100
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:35,508
Speaker 4: as far as I'm concerned, and I do believe this,

101
00:04:35,668 --> 00:04:38,388
Speaker 4: is they wanted to keep the offense as similar as possible.

102
00:04:38,588 --> 00:04:40,668
Speaker 4: If there's one thing you can do is you can

103
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:43,148
Speaker 4: change your defense easily. It's a lot easier to do

104
00:04:43,188 --> 00:04:46,188
Speaker 4: that than it is offensively. But to change your offensive

105
00:04:46,508 --> 00:04:49,388
Speaker 4: game plans, the whole philosophy, the whole thought process, that's

106
00:04:49,388 --> 00:04:50,308
Speaker 4: a very difficult thing.

107
00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:50,988
Speaker 2: Shot.

108
00:04:51,028 --> 00:04:54,348
Speaker 4: He's a very bright offensive mind, and his whole thing

109
00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:57,108
Speaker 4: about we could win, we can win now, we can

110
00:04:57,188 --> 00:04:59,788
Speaker 4: still win now why because we're going to maintain what

111
00:04:59,828 --> 00:05:01,748
Speaker 4: we do on offense. We're not going to have to

112
00:05:01,908 --> 00:05:05,068
Speaker 4: change anything as far as that's concerned. So our guys

113
00:05:05,068 --> 00:05:07,668
Speaker 4: will come in and then this offseason we're going to

114
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:10,548
Speaker 4: refine what we do and make it better. That's their

115
00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:12,748
Speaker 4: thought process, and that's why the Jones did what they

116
00:05:12,788 --> 00:05:15,348
Speaker 4: did again. They wanted to keep Mike McCarthy because they

117
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,908
Speaker 4: don't want to change the offense. They believe the offense

118
00:05:17,988 --> 00:05:20,628
Speaker 4: is good enough to win. They have players in that

119
00:05:20,708 --> 00:05:21,908
Speaker 4: offense that have the ability win.

120
00:05:21,948 --> 00:05:23,548
Speaker 2: They just got to fix it. One thing they got

121
00:05:23,548 --> 00:05:24,428
Speaker 2: to do, and I said.

122
00:05:24,188 --> 00:05:27,228
Speaker 4: This last year, They've got to run the ball better

123
00:05:27,468 --> 00:05:29,908
Speaker 4: and more consistent. They've got to take the pressure off

124
00:05:29,908 --> 00:05:32,908
Speaker 4: of Dak Prescott to always have to make the decisions.

125
00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:33,948
Speaker 2: Do that.

126
00:05:34,388 --> 00:05:36,468
Speaker 4: Find your running game, fix your running game. And I've

127
00:05:36,468 --> 00:05:38,548
Speaker 4: seen it already. Some people are projecting that they're going

128
00:05:38,628 --> 00:05:39,628
Speaker 4: to draft the running.

129
00:05:39,348 --> 00:05:41,748
Speaker 2: Back from Iowa in the first round. Iowa state. Excuse me,

130
00:05:41,788 --> 00:05:42,828
Speaker 2: that's what the prediction is.

131
00:05:43,028 --> 00:05:44,908
Speaker 4: So if you look at it, it's about getting that

132
00:05:44,988 --> 00:05:45,948
Speaker 4: running game fixed.

133
00:05:46,188 --> 00:05:48,388
Speaker 2: And I think Shot, he's right. They can win. They

134
00:05:48,428 --> 00:05:51,868
Speaker 2: can win now, Ron, you're fired up today. I can

135
00:05:51,908 --> 00:05:53,948
Speaker 2: tell it's coming through the screen here even in New York,

136
00:05:53,948 --> 00:05:56,108
Speaker 2: and it's contagious. I like it. I want to make

137
00:05:56,108 --> 00:05:58,108
Speaker 2: it unequivocally clear from the get go that I am

138
00:05:58,188 --> 00:06:00,988
Speaker 2: team Shottenheim. It's gone. I am team Shot only in

139
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:04,108
Speaker 2: part because I am so annoyed by the disapproval. And

140
00:06:04,148 --> 00:06:07,868
Speaker 2: you knows disgust about everyone online. It's real easy to

141
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,588
Speaker 2: say this is a joke and this is a clown

142
00:06:09,628 --> 00:06:12,268
Speaker 2: show and everything. Everybody loves it. Let me get this straight.

143
00:06:12,548 --> 00:06:15,468
Speaker 2: So a few weeks back, there's this idea that maybe

144
00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:18,388
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones would hire Dion and there's a perception of oh,

145
00:06:18,428 --> 00:06:20,868
Speaker 2: you're just doing that for style and flash, and he's

146
00:06:20,868 --> 00:06:23,668
Speaker 2: not a conventional coach. Okay, So then he hires a

147
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:26,788
Speaker 2: completely conventional coach. There's won in several different level. There's

148
00:06:26,788 --> 00:06:29,708
Speaker 2: been coordinators and position coaches, and it's like boring, what

149
00:06:29,868 --> 00:06:32,548
Speaker 2: is this uninspired? Which one is it? You can't have

150
00:06:32,628 --> 00:06:35,628
Speaker 2: it both ways. I am completely on the teams side

151
00:06:35,628 --> 00:06:37,908
Speaker 2: of team Schottenheimer, a guy who has been with so

152
00:06:38,028 --> 00:06:40,388
Speaker 2: many different coaches, You know, so many different people, you

153
00:06:40,508 --> 00:06:42,908
Speaker 2: have continuity. He didn't win the room, and I actually

154
00:06:42,948 --> 00:06:46,548
Speaker 2: respect that the cowboys who built the room aren't interested

155
00:06:46,548 --> 00:06:48,748
Speaker 2: in winning the room. They're actually trying to win games.

156
00:06:48,948 --> 00:06:50,228
Speaker 2: I'm in on it and I'm going to stay in

157
00:06:50,268 --> 00:06:52,948
Speaker 2: on it. I'm in with you as well. I think

158
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,588
Speaker 2: what people and the fans are looking for, they're looking

159
00:06:55,628 --> 00:06:59,068
Speaker 2: for this magical coach that's going to go out there,

160
00:06:59,108 --> 00:07:02,268
Speaker 2: that's got named that's got credibility from you know, other

161
00:07:02,308 --> 00:07:05,228
Speaker 2: success that other those coaches are taking up. Those coaches

162
00:07:05,268 --> 00:07:06,348
Speaker 2: are coaching elsewhere.

163
00:07:06,508 --> 00:07:09,068
Speaker 5: So when you think about what's available and who's there,

164
00:07:09,228 --> 00:07:12,748
Speaker 5: I think Brian Schottenhammer is a pretty good coach, and

165
00:07:12,828 --> 00:07:15,588
Speaker 5: especially you know, having played for his father, knowing the

166
00:07:15,588 --> 00:07:18,148
Speaker 5: type of culture that he's able to bring into a

167
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:21,268
Speaker 5: locker room coach. You talked about this too, the familiarity too,

168
00:07:21,668 --> 00:07:24,348
Speaker 5: that's something else and I would often and I'll present

169
00:07:24,428 --> 00:07:26,468
Speaker 5: this to some of the Cowboys fans out there as well.

170
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:30,388
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go basketball here. I've seen something like this before.

171
00:07:30,668 --> 00:07:33,028
Speaker 5: And this is when Phil Jackson was sitting as an

172
00:07:33,068 --> 00:07:34,908
Speaker 5: assistant coach and he was a lifer. He was a

173
00:07:34,908 --> 00:07:37,748
Speaker 5: longtime assistant coach before he got his opportunity. He was

174
00:07:37,788 --> 00:07:40,468
Speaker 5: coaching in the CBA, He was coaching over in Puerto Rico.

175
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:42,388
Speaker 5: He was an assistant coach for a little bit from

176
00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:45,828
Speaker 5: the Chicago Bulls. Collins is out. He comes in and

177
00:07:45,908 --> 00:07:49,348
Speaker 5: he creates something different. People didn't know Phil Jackson like that.

178
00:07:49,348 --> 00:07:51,228
Speaker 5: You knew him as a former player, but you didn't

179
00:07:51,228 --> 00:07:53,988
Speaker 5: know if he had the ability to be able to

180
00:07:54,028 --> 00:07:56,348
Speaker 5: coach the way he's coached, and I think that Brian

181
00:07:56,348 --> 00:07:59,468
Speaker 5: Schottenheimer has an ability to really elevate the count.

182
00:07:59,548 --> 00:08:02,348
Speaker 4: Don't forget though, Phil Jackson. There's a dude named Michael

183
00:08:02,468 --> 00:08:07,148
Speaker 4: Jordan that they think. Let's let's sen I'm not sure

184
00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:08,068
Speaker 4: if there's Michael George.

185
00:08:09,268 --> 00:08:11,188
Speaker 2: Do they even have Horace Grant? Like? What are we

186
00:08:11,228 --> 00:08:15,268
Speaker 2: talking about? Oh Man? All right?

187
00:08:15,308 --> 00:08:18,308
Speaker 3: To a team that continues to seem to repeat decisions,

188
00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:20,988
Speaker 3: the Jets introduce their latest head coach, and whether or

189
00:08:21,028 --> 00:08:23,228
Speaker 3: not you think Aaron Glenn was the right spot, that

190
00:08:23,548 --> 00:08:25,548
Speaker 3: is the man that is going to run this team now.

191
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:29,108
Speaker 3: He's a defensive minded head coach. He has high expectations

192
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:30,508
Speaker 3: to turn this Jets team around.

193
00:08:32,068 --> 00:08:35,068
Speaker 7: To any players that's here, now, put your seatbelts on

194
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:38,828
Speaker 7: and get ready for the ride. Put your seatbelts on

195
00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:39,828
Speaker 7: and get ready for the ride.

196
00:08:39,948 --> 00:08:40,268
Speaker 9: Listen.

197
00:08:40,548 --> 00:08:43,468
Speaker 7: There are going to be some challenges, but what challenges

198
00:08:43,508 --> 00:08:47,268
Speaker 7: becomes opportunity gets opportunity. But here's what I do know.

199
00:08:48,348 --> 00:08:50,468
Speaker 7: We're the freaking New York Jets, so we're bill for the.

200
00:08:53,748 --> 00:08:54,028
Speaker 2: Peter.

201
00:08:54,308 --> 00:08:56,348
Speaker 3: I love a good bleeped out moment from a head

202
00:08:56,348 --> 00:08:59,908
Speaker 3: coaching higher How does this one feel different than previous

203
00:08:59,988 --> 00:09:01,908
Speaker 3: head coaching decisions the Jets have made.

204
00:09:03,068 --> 00:09:05,268
Speaker 8: I look, I've been through a lot a raw rob

205
00:09:05,308 --> 00:09:09,468
Speaker 8: press conferences before, and I'm sure Robert Salah had his

206
00:09:09,548 --> 00:09:12,108
Speaker 8: guys thinking all gas, no brakes and.

207
00:09:12,108 --> 00:09:12,628
Speaker 2: The whole thing.

208
00:09:13,108 --> 00:09:16,108
Speaker 8: I feel like Aaron Glenn walks the walk talks to talk.

209
00:09:16,148 --> 00:09:17,948
Speaker 8: What I liked about it was he came right out

210
00:09:17,988 --> 00:09:20,228
Speaker 8: and was like, I'm not calling the defense.

211
00:09:20,468 --> 00:09:22,308
Speaker 2: I will not be calling the I am the head coach.

212
00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:24,388
Speaker 8: I will hire someone to call the defense, and I

213
00:09:24,388 --> 00:09:25,908
Speaker 8: will hire someone to call the offense.

214
00:09:26,108 --> 00:09:28,228
Speaker 2: I am a CEO. I am not one of.

215
00:09:28,148 --> 00:09:30,948
Speaker 8: These hot shot coordinators who's going to step right in.

216
00:09:31,388 --> 00:09:33,588
Speaker 2: But I can't in good faith just because.

217
00:09:33,388 --> 00:09:37,428
Speaker 8: They brought out Nick Mangold and Damian Woody and whoever

218
00:09:37,428 --> 00:09:39,948
Speaker 8: else and get wrapped in this nostalgia for the nineteen

219
00:09:39,988 --> 00:09:42,988
Speaker 8: ninety eight Jets and immediately say this was the right hire.

220
00:09:43,028 --> 00:09:43,908
Speaker 2: I've got to wait and see.

221
00:09:43,948 --> 00:09:46,588
Speaker 8: I also have to wait and see who the offensive

222
00:09:46,588 --> 00:09:51,188
Speaker 8: coordinator is, who the quarterback is, who the defensive coordinator is.

223
00:09:51,348 --> 00:09:54,188
Speaker 8: There's a lot of questions here. Look, he's a first

224
00:09:54,268 --> 00:09:57,108
Speaker 8: year head coach and they hired a first year GM

225
00:09:57,468 --> 00:10:00,508
Speaker 8: who is thirty eight years old, who four years ago

226
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:03,828
Speaker 8: was an assistant on the pro side for the Broncos

227
00:10:03,868 --> 00:10:06,428
Speaker 8: during the co season, and it was not the number

228
00:10:06,468 --> 00:10:09,068
Speaker 8: one or number two and number three guys. So Jets

229
00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:11,748
Speaker 8: fans get excited. The press conference is awesome and Aaron

230
00:10:11,788 --> 00:10:13,348
Speaker 8: Glenn is about all the right things.

231
00:10:13,668 --> 00:10:14,788
Speaker 2: It feels different.

232
00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:17,628
Speaker 8: But I also want to manage expectations and say, let

233
00:10:17,628 --> 00:10:19,308
Speaker 8: me plead the fifth here until I see what's.

234
00:10:19,188 --> 00:10:20,228
Speaker 2: Around this team and.

235
00:10:20,388 --> 00:10:23,188
Speaker 8: Who's playing for them, and also who's going to be

236
00:10:23,188 --> 00:10:24,948
Speaker 8: calling the shots on offense and defense.

237
00:10:25,908 --> 00:10:28,588
Speaker 4: I love the fact that he's a legacy player. Okay,

238
00:10:28,748 --> 00:10:30,988
Speaker 4: he played the game. His perspective is going to be different.

239
00:10:30,988 --> 00:10:32,708
Speaker 4: It's not going to make him better than anybody yet,

240
00:10:32,948 --> 00:10:35,988
Speaker 4: but he has a different approach, a different thought, a

241
00:10:36,028 --> 00:10:39,708
Speaker 4: different philosophy, a different idea that helps him going in.

242
00:10:39,948 --> 00:10:42,468
Speaker 4: It really truly does. He's got legitimacy. As soon as

243
00:10:42,468 --> 00:10:44,548
Speaker 4: he steps up in front of the team and starts

244
00:10:44,548 --> 00:10:47,108
Speaker 4: to talk about what they can become as Jets, he

245
00:10:47,268 --> 00:10:49,868
Speaker 4: knows what it feels like. This is important for this

246
00:10:49,948 --> 00:10:51,948
Speaker 4: type of franchise. You know, I saw one of the

247
00:10:51,988 --> 00:10:55,708
Speaker 4: segments earlier we talked about the league is better win, Well,

248
00:10:55,708 --> 00:10:57,868
Speaker 4: the league is better when the Jets are better. Okay,

249
00:10:58,188 --> 00:11:01,548
Speaker 4: they're from the northeast coast all right on.

250
00:11:01,548 --> 00:11:02,788
Speaker 2: The Eastern Seabird.

251
00:11:03,108 --> 00:11:06,028
Speaker 4: One third of the US populations in the Eastern Seaboard.

252
00:11:06,468 --> 00:11:08,788
Speaker 4: That's why it's important. It's important that the Jets are

253
00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:10,908
Speaker 4: a good football team. I think they hired the right

254
00:11:10,988 --> 00:11:11,628
Speaker 4: legacy guy.

255
00:11:11,628 --> 00:11:12,068
Speaker 2: I really do.

256
00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:14,188
Speaker 4: I think this is an opportunity for somebody new to

257
00:11:14,188 --> 00:11:17,388
Speaker 4: get an opportunity. This is similar, but it's different, different

258
00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:19,548
Speaker 4: because of who they chose. I think they chose the

259
00:11:19,628 --> 00:11:20,308
Speaker 4: right type of man.

260
00:11:21,108 --> 00:11:24,388
Speaker 2: I always say to that again, Ron on fire, Listen.

261
00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:27,108
Speaker 2: I like what you're talking about too, because Ron, we

262
00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:31,428
Speaker 2: started Good Morning Football in twenty sixteen as nine years ago,

263
00:11:31,708 --> 00:11:34,068
Speaker 2: and the Jets and Giants combined have been in one

264
00:11:34,108 --> 00:11:37,108
Speaker 2: playoff game since we started as a show. They're always terrible.

265
00:11:37,228 --> 00:11:39,348
Speaker 2: There's nobody who would like it more than us. Here's

266
00:11:39,388 --> 00:11:41,628
Speaker 2: what I give Aaron Glenn credit for. So go in

267
00:11:41,628 --> 00:11:44,228
Speaker 2: there at that time, give that press conference. Understand right now,

268
00:11:44,468 --> 00:11:46,748
Speaker 2: it is disgusting in New York and New Jersey. It's

269
00:11:46,788 --> 00:11:49,388
Speaker 2: a terrible time of year. The season was off the rails.

270
00:11:49,428 --> 00:11:51,228
Speaker 2: It was weird. It was bad to walk in there

271
00:11:51,268 --> 00:11:55,348
Speaker 2: with that energy and that sense of life and those

272
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:59,228
Speaker 2: sound bites is great. I will say I have seen

273
00:11:59,748 --> 00:12:03,508
Speaker 2: that edifice. That building just sap the life out of people.

274
00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:06,108
Speaker 2: I've seen it. I was, there by coincidence on the

275
00:12:06,188 --> 00:12:08,308
Speaker 2: day that Todd Bowles was let go as the head coach.

276
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:11,188
Speaker 2: I was in the building and it was like a morgue.

277
00:12:11,348 --> 00:12:14,708
Speaker 2: Robert Salad comes from San Francisco and he's Hercules meets

278
00:12:14,828 --> 00:12:18,148
Speaker 2: he Man and all energy and all juice and all gas.

279
00:12:18,548 --> 00:12:20,188
Speaker 2: And then I at the end of the tenure and

280
00:12:20,228 --> 00:12:22,908
Speaker 2: I did not recognize him. So I love the SoundBite.

281
00:12:22,988 --> 00:12:24,548
Speaker 2: And we're going to kick some ass and buckle the

282
00:12:24,588 --> 00:12:27,268
Speaker 2: seatbelt and everything. Two years from now, if we check

283
00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:29,028
Speaker 2: in with Aaron Glenn, is it like aging like the

284
00:12:29,028 --> 00:12:31,508
Speaker 2: President and we don't even recognize him anymore. I've seen

285
00:12:31,548 --> 00:12:33,908
Speaker 2: good presentations before. I need more than that, and I

286
00:12:33,948 --> 00:12:35,868
Speaker 2: need it more from a former Jet. I just I

287
00:12:35,908 --> 00:12:37,548
Speaker 2: need wins. It's been nine years.

288
00:12:37,828 --> 00:12:39,748
Speaker 5: Well, I will say, black, don't crack. I don't know

289
00:12:39,748 --> 00:12:41,828
Speaker 5: if he'll age like the President, but I will say

290
00:12:41,948 --> 00:12:43,468
Speaker 5: the one thing I think he is going to crack.

291
00:12:43,468 --> 00:12:45,548
Speaker 5: He's going to crack the code for that of the

292
00:12:45,868 --> 00:12:49,508
Speaker 5: New York Jets. They've had a long history struggling, and

293
00:12:49,548 --> 00:12:52,148
Speaker 5: I think that this is going to be the opportunity

294
00:12:52,348 --> 00:12:54,068
Speaker 5: for him to get in there and show it. And

295
00:12:54,108 --> 00:12:56,628
Speaker 5: I think too as a former player. And they've had players,

296
00:12:56,788 --> 00:12:59,108
Speaker 5: former players come out there and coach, but I think

297
00:12:59,188 --> 00:13:01,988
Speaker 5: for him, this is something different. I've spoken with other

298
00:13:02,028 --> 00:13:05,548
Speaker 5: former players who've played with him around the league, other

299
00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:07,988
Speaker 5: coaches and coordinators, and they all say that like this

300
00:13:08,068 --> 00:13:10,588
Speaker 5: dude knows how to coach. He's a guy that can

301
00:13:10,628 --> 00:13:13,748
Speaker 5: get people moving and getting guide to believe in themselves.

302
00:13:13,748 --> 00:13:15,948
Speaker 5: And I think the other advantage SuDS. He's coming from

303
00:13:16,148 --> 00:13:19,348
Speaker 5: the Detroit Lions where he's seen it modeled. He understands

304
00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:21,668
Speaker 5: when you talk about being a CEO to be able

305
00:13:21,668 --> 00:13:23,468
Speaker 5: to see that and model it. If you can see it,

306
00:13:23,508 --> 00:13:26,068
Speaker 5: you can definitely be it. He's played it, he's lived it,

307
00:13:26,108 --> 00:13:28,108
Speaker 5: he's walked it. I think he's ready for the coach

308
00:13:28,548 --> 00:13:30,748
Speaker 5: coaching job and to take the New York jetson new levels.

309
00:13:30,788 --> 00:13:32,548
Speaker 3: Okay, new rule on GMF be no more phrases with

310
00:13:32,628 --> 00:13:36,428
Speaker 3: cracking it all right. In Vegas, the Raiders introduced Saint

311
00:13:36,468 --> 00:13:43,428
Speaker 3: Carrol as their newest head coach. The former Seahawks coach

312
00:13:43,468 --> 00:13:46,868
Speaker 3: says change a picture says the time for the Raiders

313
00:13:46,908 --> 00:13:48,108
Speaker 3: to begin winning is now.

314
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:51,188
Speaker 9: Listen to Pe Carol, took us a few years to

315
00:13:51,468 --> 00:13:55,028
Speaker 9: get to the very top of the last couple programs.

316
00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:58,628
Speaker 9: I was with, we're starting right now, going for it immediately.

317
00:13:59,148 --> 00:14:01,148
Speaker 9: We're not. We don't have some time and we got

318
00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:03,108
Speaker 9: to make it five or six years down the road.

319
00:14:03,148 --> 00:14:04,868
Speaker 9: That's not what we're thinking. We're going to start right

320
00:14:04,908 --> 00:14:06,908
Speaker 9: now to go after it and build his team as

321
00:14:06,948 --> 00:14:10,828
Speaker 9: quickly as we can. As Johnson saw Max back there, Max,

322
00:14:11,428 --> 00:14:13,868
Speaker 9: send the message, man, we're coming after you. We're gonna

323
00:14:13,908 --> 00:14:15,548
Speaker 9: come find you guys and get this thing rolling as

324
00:14:15,548 --> 00:14:16,308
Speaker 9: soon as possible.

325
00:14:17,788 --> 00:14:19,868
Speaker 3: Can I just say that Pee Carrol looks great. I

326
00:14:19,868 --> 00:14:23,108
Speaker 3: need him to release the skincare routine and the lifestyle memoir, Like,

327
00:14:23,308 --> 00:14:25,828
Speaker 3: what is that man doing that puts him in in

328
00:14:25,868 --> 00:14:28,588
Speaker 3: that age and living his life this way? Just a sidebar,

329
00:14:28,948 --> 00:14:31,548
Speaker 3: Is this a realistic expectation what Pee Carrol just set

330
00:14:31,588 --> 00:14:34,468
Speaker 3: forth to see the Raiders compete in the AFC wes

331
00:14:34,548 --> 00:14:36,108
Speaker 3: Peter next year?

332
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:39,988
Speaker 8: No, I don't think you're looking at the Raiders and

333
00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:42,148
Speaker 8: saying this is going to be an overnight sensation like

334
00:14:42,228 --> 00:14:44,908
Speaker 8: Jayden Daniels and the Commanders just had I do think

335
00:14:44,948 --> 00:14:47,348
Speaker 8: that they're going to lay the groundwork. And that is

336
00:14:47,348 --> 00:14:49,188
Speaker 8: why you bring up Pete Carroll, and it's why you

337
00:14:49,228 --> 00:14:51,748
Speaker 8: bring a Ron Rivera in. It's why you bring guys

338
00:14:51,948 --> 00:14:55,308
Speaker 8: who have done it before when these tens are at

339
00:14:55,308 --> 00:14:57,708
Speaker 8: their nadeer and at the bottom of the barrel. In

340
00:14:57,708 --> 00:15:00,628
Speaker 8: this case, the Raiders are a blank slate. We don't

341
00:15:00,628 --> 00:15:02,948
Speaker 8: know who their quarterback is. They're in a division with

342
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:05,788
Speaker 8: three of the best head coaches and three quarterbacks that'll

343
00:15:05,788 --> 00:15:08,828
Speaker 8: give you fits over the next several decades. I think

344
00:15:08,868 --> 00:15:11,348
Speaker 8: in this case, Pete Carroll made a lot of sense

345
00:15:11,388 --> 00:15:14,628
Speaker 8: for this version of the Raiders because this is what

346
00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:16,948
Speaker 8: he did when he stepped into USC they were coming

347
00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:19,228
Speaker 8: off a horrible run, came in and built.

348
00:15:18,948 --> 00:15:19,468
Speaker 2: That thing up.

349
00:15:19,668 --> 00:15:21,868
Speaker 8: It's what he did at the Seahawks. They were coming

350
00:15:21,908 --> 00:15:24,148
Speaker 8: down in a dark place. He brought them back up,

351
00:15:24,148 --> 00:15:27,228
Speaker 8: bringing a lot of young, youthful energy. Despite the fact

352
00:15:27,468 --> 00:15:29,908
Speaker 8: he's in his seventies, I still think Pete can bring it,

353
00:15:30,188 --> 00:15:32,788
Speaker 8: and for this Raiders team, I think he could start something.

354
00:15:32,908 --> 00:15:35,828
Speaker 8: But I don't think they're competing next year with the Broncos,

355
00:15:35,908 --> 00:15:38,028
Speaker 8: Chargers and Chiefs for a title.

356
00:15:37,748 --> 00:15:38,308
Speaker 2: No chance.

357
00:15:40,108 --> 00:15:42,028
Speaker 4: Well, the really interesting thing for them is they don't

358
00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:44,468
Speaker 4: have a quarterback in a division where all three of

359
00:15:44,508 --> 00:15:46,748
Speaker 4: their components have very good quarterbacks.

360
00:15:46,788 --> 00:15:48,108
Speaker 2: You've got to find the quarterback.

361
00:15:48,308 --> 00:15:50,028
Speaker 4: If you can't find it in this draft, you've got

362
00:15:50,068 --> 00:15:51,868
Speaker 4: a plan for the future. So that's the biggest thing

363
00:15:51,908 --> 00:15:54,508
Speaker 4: that they've got to overcome, and that is they don't

364
00:15:54,548 --> 00:15:55,348
Speaker 4: have the guy.

365
00:15:55,188 --> 00:15:56,188
Speaker 2: That pulls the trigger.

366
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:59,788
Speaker 4: Find that guy, build around him, and again, Peter, I agree,

367
00:15:59,868 --> 00:16:01,628
Speaker 4: it's going to take time. You've got to lay the

368
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,748
Speaker 4: groundwork and you've got to make sure you have people

369
00:16:03,788 --> 00:16:06,268
Speaker 4: in place going forward for the next couple of the

370
00:16:06,348 --> 00:16:08,548
Speaker 4: years that can handle how tough it's gonna be.

371
00:16:08,788 --> 00:16:10,148
Speaker 2: This is not gonna be an easy road.

372
00:16:10,148 --> 00:16:13,588
Speaker 4: If they find their quarterback immediately, you'll see them build, build, build.

373
00:16:13,588 --> 00:16:16,068
Speaker 4: If they don't, they're gonna stay low. They'll be down

374
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:18,588
Speaker 4: in the cellar for quite some time. But the key

375
00:16:18,708 --> 00:16:21,588
Speaker 4: is finding that quarterback in the next two drafts.

376
00:16:21,988 --> 00:16:26,308
Speaker 2: Okay, right, I imagine you've known Pete Carroll for a

377
00:16:26,348 --> 00:16:27,988
Speaker 2: long time. Do you remember when you first met him?

378
00:16:28,108 --> 00:16:32,668
Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, it was an opportunity. I was at USC

379
00:16:32,828 --> 00:16:34,628
Speaker 4: he was there, had an opportunity to talk about some

380
00:16:34,668 --> 00:16:36,708
Speaker 4: of the players that were coming out in the draft,

381
00:16:36,708 --> 00:16:38,468
Speaker 4: stuff like that. And I'll tell you he's a very

382
00:16:38,468 --> 00:16:40,588
Speaker 4: cerebral guy. You can tell he's a very bright guy.

383
00:16:40,788 --> 00:16:42,548
Speaker 4: He's also a very optimistic guy.

384
00:16:42,588 --> 00:16:42,828
Speaker 2: Like me.

385
00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:45,708
Speaker 4: He really believes there's opportunities, there are chances, there challenges

386
00:16:45,748 --> 00:16:49,348
Speaker 4: going forward. And I do know he knows the challenge

387
00:16:49,428 --> 00:16:52,908
Speaker 4: is finding the next quarterback. He is gonna lay the groundwork,

388
00:16:52,948 --> 00:16:55,468
Speaker 4: He's gonna try and put pieces into place, but if

389
00:16:55,468 --> 00:16:58,348
Speaker 4: they can't find that quarterback, it's gonna be very tough sledding.

390
00:16:58,428 --> 00:17:00,708
Speaker 4: That's the truth. This is a this is a quarterback

391
00:17:00,788 --> 00:17:04,148
Speaker 4: driven league. Teams that have good quarterbacks get into the

392
00:17:04,188 --> 00:17:07,108
Speaker 4: play barely getting into the playoffs. Teams that have very

393
00:17:07,108 --> 00:17:09,628
Speaker 4: good quarterbacks make it to the championship game, and the

394
00:17:09,668 --> 00:17:12,508
Speaker 4: teams that have elite quarterbacks are in the Super Bowl.

395
00:17:12,588 --> 00:17:14,988
Speaker 4: And that's what we're seeing right now. So find your

396
00:17:15,068 --> 00:17:17,668
Speaker 4: quarterback coach as soon as you can give yourself an

397
00:17:17,668 --> 00:17:20,228
Speaker 4: opportunity to build it, go out and win football games

398
00:17:20,508 --> 00:17:21,108
Speaker 4: in the future.

399
00:17:22,388 --> 00:17:25,788
Speaker 2: Ron get inside his head. Why would someone of his stature,

400
00:17:25,908 --> 00:17:28,428
Speaker 2: who is a legend in the NFL, legend in college

401
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:32,668
Speaker 2: on in years as family, grandchildren, all that Why would

402
00:17:32,668 --> 00:17:35,508
Speaker 2: he want to jump back into a project like this

403
00:17:35,668 --> 00:17:37,788
Speaker 2: with no quarterback? Forget about why the Raiders shows him.

404
00:17:37,828 --> 00:17:41,428
Speaker 2: Why do you think Pete shows the Raiders challenge opportunity.

405
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:44,268
Speaker 4: You know, I went to Washington challenge opportunity.

406
00:17:44,668 --> 00:17:44,988
Speaker 2: Okay.

407
00:17:45,028 --> 00:17:47,668
Speaker 4: I was able to lay some groundwork, and then you

408
00:17:47,708 --> 00:17:49,868
Speaker 4: see what's happened. They've taken over and they've gone the

409
00:17:49,908 --> 00:17:52,708
Speaker 4: right direction in Washington. I'm telling you it's amazing what

410
00:17:52,788 --> 00:17:55,748
Speaker 4: the right quarterback does, Peter, and you said it, if

411
00:17:55,788 --> 00:17:58,348
Speaker 4: you find the right quarterback, you are going to put

412
00:17:58,348 --> 00:18:01,708
Speaker 4: yourself in position. That's exactly what we saw with the Commanders.

413
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:03,988
Speaker 4: And I think what Pete knows, and Pete does know this,

414
00:18:04,068 --> 00:18:06,068
Speaker 4: He's got to find his quarterback. He was fortunate he

415
00:18:06,068 --> 00:18:08,308
Speaker 4: found his guy in Seattle, wins his Super Bowl, goes

416
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:10,868
Speaker 4: to another Super Bowl. He was there twice with the

417
00:18:10,908 --> 00:18:13,068
Speaker 4: same quarterback. This is really about quarterback.

418
00:18:13,268 --> 00:18:15,588
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think the challenge too, is something that

419
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:18,468
Speaker 5: speaks to any coach who's in that position that's had success.

420
00:18:18,788 --> 00:18:19,028
Speaker 2: Peter.

421
00:18:19,148 --> 00:18:21,388
Speaker 5: You talked about what he did at USC, you know,

422
00:18:21,428 --> 00:18:24,428
Speaker 5: following after Hacket, and we know what he's done, you

423
00:18:24,468 --> 00:18:27,908
Speaker 5: know with the Seahawks. But what's more impressive is his

424
00:18:27,988 --> 00:18:31,428
Speaker 5: ability to sustain that. He leads USC as the second

425
00:18:31,468 --> 00:18:34,748
Speaker 5: and winning his coach in the school's history. You know,

426
00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:37,268
Speaker 5: at eighty three percent, he was winning his game. He

427
00:18:37,308 --> 00:18:39,708
Speaker 5: comes to the Seahawks does the same thing. He's able

428
00:18:39,748 --> 00:18:42,388
Speaker 5: to sustain a certain level. And I think that speaks

429
00:18:42,428 --> 00:18:45,348
Speaker 5: to formula, being able to have the formula and understanding

430
00:18:45,548 --> 00:18:48,308
Speaker 5: how to get something nice and big, like a big puzzle,

431
00:18:48,388 --> 00:18:51,548
Speaker 5: like a thirty thousand piece puzzle, and trying to solve

432
00:18:51,588 --> 00:18:54,148
Speaker 5: all of that. And I think he really really enjoys

433
00:18:54,148 --> 00:18:56,308
Speaker 5: that project. And look, the Raiders have been a project

434
00:18:56,508 --> 00:18:58,348
Speaker 5: and they're going to be a project that it's been

435
00:18:58,388 --> 00:19:00,748
Speaker 5: a long time. We've talked about that, and I think

436
00:19:00,748 --> 00:19:02,108
Speaker 5: this is the very type of.

437
00:19:02,108 --> 00:19:03,388
Speaker 2: Coach that the Raiders needed.

438
00:19:03,468 --> 00:19:06,708
Speaker 5: They needed a person who has the recipe, the formula,

439
00:19:06,828 --> 00:19:10,428
Speaker 5: the platebook to change an organization. And I fully believe

440
00:19:10,428 --> 00:19:12,828
Speaker 5: in him. And look, they have that sixth pick. It's

441
00:19:12,828 --> 00:19:14,868
Speaker 5: going to be very interesting to see what they do

442
00:19:14,908 --> 00:19:16,908
Speaker 5: in the draft. Maybe they try to sneak up, Maybe

443
00:19:16,908 --> 00:19:18,948
Speaker 5: they try to get a shrad door standard, especially when

444
00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:21,708
Speaker 5: you think about what Jaydon Daniels has done for the Commanders.

445
00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:23,348
Speaker 5: Maybe they find that lightning in a bottle.

446
00:19:24,748 --> 00:19:26,468
Speaker 8: Look, I got one last one because we were talking

447
00:19:26,508 --> 00:19:28,028
Speaker 8: about earlier in the show, and Ron, I'm not sure

448
00:19:28,028 --> 00:19:29,748
Speaker 8: if you're on set in the green room or what

449
00:19:30,668 --> 00:19:33,428
Speaker 8: Kyle asked me. Why hasn't Spag's gotten any love in

450
00:19:33,468 --> 00:19:36,788
Speaker 8: these head coaching interviews? You worked with Steve Spagnolo, You

451
00:19:36,828 --> 00:19:39,228
Speaker 8: know Steve Spagnolo. You guys are on that Andy Reid

452
00:19:39,028 --> 00:19:42,068
Speaker 8: Tree make the case. Could Steve Spagnolo be a good

453
00:19:42,108 --> 00:19:44,268
Speaker 8: head coach in the NFL still in twenty twenty five,

454
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:45,428
Speaker 8: twenty twenty six and beyond.

455
00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:46,988
Speaker 4: Oh, I believe so because if you look at what

456
00:19:47,028 --> 00:19:49,788
Speaker 4: he's done on the defensive side for Andy, he's taken

457
00:19:49,908 --> 00:19:52,028
Speaker 4: half the team and he's gotten half the team to

458
00:19:52,068 --> 00:19:53,628
Speaker 4: believe in what they do and the way they do it.

459
00:19:53,668 --> 00:19:55,668
Speaker 4: And you see it every week. Every week he comes

460
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:57,788
Speaker 4: up with something different. Every week, he puts something out

461
00:19:57,828 --> 00:20:00,828
Speaker 4: in front of the players, and the players buy into it.

462
00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:03,348
Speaker 4: Steve has learned. Sure, his first time as a head

463
00:20:03,348 --> 00:20:05,748
Speaker 4: coach wasn't very good, and it takes time, and he

464
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:08,148
Speaker 4: didn't get the opportunity to continue to build. It took

465
00:20:08,188 --> 00:20:11,148
Speaker 4: me three years before we started winning in Carolina. Steve

466
00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:13,828
Speaker 4: didn't get three years. Who knows what would have happened

467
00:20:13,828 --> 00:20:16,308
Speaker 4: if he had gotten enough time. And I believe with time,

468
00:20:16,428 --> 00:20:18,628
Speaker 4: given time, Steve Spagnola could be a very good head

469
00:20:18,628 --> 00:20:20,548
Speaker 4: coach in this league because he's one of the smartest

470
00:20:20,548 --> 00:20:22,508
Speaker 4: guys you'll ever be around. He's one of the most

471
00:20:22,508 --> 00:20:25,468
Speaker 4: committed coordinators I've ever seen, because the guy is brilliant.

472
00:20:25,668 --> 00:20:27,228
Speaker 4: He was one of those guys that when we all

473
00:20:27,228 --> 00:20:29,788
Speaker 4: got together on Andy's original coaching staff, he said, Man,

474
00:20:29,788 --> 00:20:30,708
Speaker 4: this dude's something else.

475
00:20:31,068 --> 00:20:32,828
Speaker 2: He goes, he goes, he works.

476
00:20:33,028 --> 00:20:36,028
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys that learns from everybody, and

477
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,588
Speaker 4: he's a veteran guy that knows the game better than

478
00:20:38,588 --> 00:20:41,188
Speaker 4: people understand. It's just he hasn't had the opportunity because

479
00:20:41,268 --> 00:20:42,708
Speaker 4: the last few years he's been too busy.

480
00:20:42,828 --> 00:20:44,308
Speaker 2: Yeah, too busy in the Super Bowl.

481
00:20:44,428 --> 00:20:46,988
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. That's how I feel about you this morning.

482
00:20:46,988 --> 00:20:48,468
Speaker 3: You're like, man, you're really bringing the heat today on

483
00:20:48,548 --> 00:20:50,148
Speaker 3: Jim at b ron We appreciate it. You're going to

484
00:20:50,188 --> 00:20:52,668
Speaker 3: come back later in the hour. Stay tuned. Coming off

485
00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:54,828
Speaker 3: the Steelers, we got to talk Pittsburgh. They have some

486
00:20:54,988 --> 00:20:57,908
Speaker 3: decisions to make at quarterback this offseason. Speaking of the

487
00:20:57,908 --> 00:20:59,468
Speaker 3: guy that went to a couple of Super Bowls with

488
00:20:59,868 --> 00:21:02,548
Speaker 3: Keith Carroll. There's Russell Wilson. Is he coming back for

489
00:21:02,588 --> 00:21:06,548
Speaker 3: another year? In Pittsburgh. We discuss this and other topics again,

490
00:21:06,788 --> 00:21:08,348
Speaker 3: running a back with Ron River Kyle.

491
00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:12,668
Speaker 2: Plus, there is a game. It is now twelve days away.

492
00:21:12,908 --> 00:21:15,668
Speaker 2: We're fired up. Peter's going there for Fox. Peter the Fox.

493
00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:18,228
Speaker 2: Cover's gonna be excellent, Right, it's gonna be Taylor, Donna

494
00:21:18,268 --> 00:21:22,028
Speaker 2: and Me. Let's go Taylor Donna and Peter and oh

495
00:21:22,068 --> 00:21:26,948
Speaker 2: maybe Travis. Maybe Taylor Donna and PS and d i

496
00:21:27,148 --> 00:21:29,708
Speaker 2: Roll with Scott Swift. I like Taylor's dad. Yeah, right,

497
00:21:29,908 --> 00:21:34,468
Speaker 2: dieheart fan. He's at everything. It's he good with Ed Kelsey,

498
00:21:32,828 --> 00:21:36,228
Speaker 2: they hang all right, Morgan Morning Football?

499
00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:36,588
Speaker 5: After this?

500
00:21:39,468 --> 00:21:43,548
Speaker 2: All right, we are two hundred and ninety seven hours

501
00:21:43,628 --> 00:21:45,908
Speaker 2: from the super Bowl in New Orleans, and there was

502
00:21:45,988 --> 00:21:48,948
Speaker 2: a vocal part of the population that was openly rooting

503
00:21:48,988 --> 00:21:51,788
Speaker 2: for maybe Buffalo or Washington to win, if only because

504
00:21:51,828 --> 00:21:54,468
Speaker 2: there'd be something fresh to talk about. Neither of those

505
00:21:54,468 --> 00:21:56,788
Speaker 2: teams won. So we are getting Kansas City and philadelphiagain.

506
00:21:56,828 --> 00:21:59,668
Speaker 2: Should be a great matchup. However, we've talked about these

507
00:21:59,708 --> 00:22:02,548
Speaker 2: teams a lot and I'm not sure there's necessarily a

508
00:22:02,548 --> 00:22:05,828
Speaker 2: lot of fresh topics out there, and yet the segments

509
00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:07,868
Speaker 2: must be filled, my friends, So we thought we'd get

510
00:22:07,868 --> 00:22:09,628
Speaker 2: ahead of it a Good Morning Football, in fact, two

511
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:13,108
Speaker 2: hundred ninety seven hours ahead, and say, right now, what

512
00:22:13,308 --> 00:22:16,748
Speaker 2: is the Super Bowl storyline that we are already all

513
00:22:16,788 --> 00:22:19,108
Speaker 2: set with and we really don't need much more? With Peter,

514
00:22:19,228 --> 00:22:21,068
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a beltigh fastball for you.

515
00:22:21,388 --> 00:22:23,468
Speaker 2: Where would you like to go the superstoryline? You are

516
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:24,948
Speaker 2: good to go on, don't need anymore?

517
00:22:24,988 --> 00:22:28,668
Speaker 8: Mine goes to July tenth, July eleventh, and I really

518
00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,228
Speaker 8: emptied the bag. Then when we had a show called

519
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:35,188
Speaker 8: Hard Knocks in season off season with the New York Giants,

520
00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:39,388
Speaker 8: where we really had full documentation of the Giants telling

521
00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:42,108
Speaker 8: Sakuon Barkley, we're good, You're good. Let's just go our

522
00:22:42,148 --> 00:22:46,028
Speaker 8: separate ways. And then every week from that point on

523
00:22:46,388 --> 00:22:49,588
Speaker 8: until this moment right here, we have mentioned on the

524
00:22:49,628 --> 00:22:52,468
Speaker 8: show that the Giants let go of say Kuon Barkley

525
00:22:52,468 --> 00:22:55,468
Speaker 8: for super Bowl Week. I am good with acknowledging that

526
00:22:55,508 --> 00:22:59,028
Speaker 8: the Giants did not resign say Kwon Barkley. I think

527
00:22:59,028 --> 00:23:02,148
Speaker 8: he's had an entire curse season that we could document.

528
00:23:02,228 --> 00:23:04,748
Speaker 8: I think that there's an amazing moments as an Eagle

529
00:23:04,788 --> 00:23:05,828
Speaker 8: we should be highlighting.

530
00:23:06,108 --> 00:23:07,468
Speaker 2: I also am not sure.

531
00:23:07,228 --> 00:23:09,628
Speaker 8: Sakuon Barkley runs for two thousand yards and it's in

532
00:23:09,628 --> 00:23:11,988
Speaker 8: a super Bowl if he's still with the Giants.

533
00:23:12,548 --> 00:23:14,388
Speaker 2: We know it was a decision that was made.

534
00:23:14,428 --> 00:23:18,468
Speaker 8: We have dissected it six thousand times before Super Bowl week.

535
00:23:19,108 --> 00:23:21,348
Speaker 8: I know we call them just casual fans and maybe

536
00:23:21,388 --> 00:23:23,868
Speaker 8: they don't know the story. And I'll give Brady and

537
00:23:23,908 --> 00:23:25,948
Speaker 8: Burkhart then, okay, in a pass if they want to

538
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,908
Speaker 8: just present the storyline of the Super Bowl.

539
00:23:28,188 --> 00:23:30,348
Speaker 2: But for our show, if you're a twenty.

540
00:23:30,068 --> 00:23:32,268
Speaker 8: Four hour a day football fan, I don't know if

541
00:23:32,308 --> 00:23:34,548
Speaker 8: we need to go back into Joe Shane's living room

542
00:23:34,828 --> 00:23:38,348
Speaker 8: and into that coach's office where they're discussing it. I'm good,

543
00:23:38,628 --> 00:23:42,348
Speaker 8: And I know if I'm Devin Singletary or Jermaine Lumineuur

544
00:23:43,108 --> 00:23:45,668
Speaker 8: or John Runyon who they spent the money on instead,

545
00:23:45,908 --> 00:23:48,868
Speaker 8: I think they're good also. So let's just be good

546
00:23:48,908 --> 00:23:51,828
Speaker 8: with Saquon Giants talk and maybe move on to Saquon

547
00:23:51,908 --> 00:23:52,508
Speaker 8: Eagles talk.

548
00:23:52,548 --> 00:23:55,548
Speaker 2: I'm good. I like you here, I like it all right.

549
00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:57,908
Speaker 5: So this is one that I am really passionate about.

550
00:23:58,228 --> 00:24:02,228
Speaker 5: I am absolutely tired of Patrick the Patrick Mahomes chasing

551
00:24:02,428 --> 00:24:06,028
Speaker 5: Tom Brady's storyline. Let's just get rid of it. Okay,

552
00:24:06,108 --> 00:24:08,588
Speaker 5: look what Patrick Mahomes has done. And first, let me

553
00:24:08,588 --> 00:24:10,548
Speaker 5: give credit to Tom Brady, because I think what Tom

554
00:24:10,588 --> 00:24:13,228
Speaker 5: Brady has done in his career speaks to his longevity

555
00:24:13,228 --> 00:24:16,708
Speaker 5: and his dedication and his greatness. But what Patrick Mahomes

556
00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:19,628
Speaker 5: is doing is something very unique. He's in a class

557
00:24:19,628 --> 00:24:22,428
Speaker 5: of his own. We don't need to measure him to

558
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:25,748
Speaker 5: Tom Brady anymore because he is doing something at a

559
00:24:25,868 --> 00:24:29,388
Speaker 5: very young age. He's on the cuss of doing a

560
00:24:29,628 --> 00:24:33,268
Speaker 5: three peat, a trilogy, three in a row that has

561
00:24:33,468 --> 00:24:37,388
Speaker 5: never been done in NFL history. Let's celebrate him for

562
00:24:37,548 --> 00:24:40,588
Speaker 5: what he is and what he's accomplished in his short career.

563
00:24:40,988 --> 00:24:44,588
Speaker 5: Thus far, I say we need to redefine when it

564
00:24:44,628 --> 00:24:48,428
Speaker 5: comes to greatness. To me, I've always said that comparison

565
00:24:48,628 --> 00:24:51,028
Speaker 5: is the thief of all joy. And I go to

566
00:24:51,548 --> 00:24:55,828
Speaker 5: Bill Russell and Michael Jordan, Bill Russell eleven Championships and

567
00:24:55,868 --> 00:24:58,868
Speaker 5: we've said that this is the standard when you talk

568
00:24:58,908 --> 00:25:03,988
Speaker 5: about NBA Championships eleven eleven, But somehow in recent conversations.

569
00:25:04,108 --> 00:25:06,748
Speaker 5: When whatever you ask who's the greatest of all time,

570
00:25:07,108 --> 00:25:10,428
Speaker 5: it's this man right here, Air Jordan, Michael Jordan. Michael

571
00:25:10,468 --> 00:25:13,628
Speaker 5: Jordan has six championships. He doesn't have eleven, he has six.

572
00:25:13,828 --> 00:25:16,748
Speaker 5: But because we've recognized the greatness in what he's done

573
00:25:16,748 --> 00:25:18,868
Speaker 5: in his timeframe, we call him the greatest. That we

574
00:25:18,988 --> 00:25:21,428
Speaker 5: recognize what he's done, it's time to recognize what Patrick

575
00:25:21,468 --> 00:25:24,188
Speaker 5: Mahomes has done on his way to getting perhaps his

576
00:25:24,268 --> 00:25:25,188
Speaker 5: fourth championship.

577
00:25:25,268 --> 00:25:28,308
Speaker 3: Comparison is the Thief of all joys. It sounds like

578
00:25:28,348 --> 00:25:31,068
Speaker 3: something you would read in a self help book. I

579
00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:35,308
Speaker 3: personally despise self help books. Don't recommend them to me,

580
00:25:35,668 --> 00:25:38,228
Speaker 3: don't send them. This really helped me, I think, if

581
00:25:38,268 --> 00:25:40,348
Speaker 3: it helps you, we're two different people. Don't send him

582
00:25:40,348 --> 00:25:42,628
Speaker 3: my way. So when aj Brown showed up on the

583
00:25:42,668 --> 00:25:46,548
Speaker 3: bench that week with reading Inner Excellence, I was immediately

584
00:25:46,548 --> 00:25:49,028
Speaker 3: over it. After I saw him doing it, Off Bar

585
00:25:49,068 --> 00:25:50,908
Speaker 3: showed up with the book. He's talked to the author.

586
00:25:51,108 --> 00:25:54,268
Speaker 3: I appreciate your dedication. This was an annoying prop thing

587
00:25:54,348 --> 00:25:56,068
Speaker 3: to me. If he reads it, great, if it helps

588
00:25:56,148 --> 00:25:59,428
Speaker 3: him awesome. Instead, what I would find even more fascinating

589
00:25:59,628 --> 00:26:01,588
Speaker 3: is if he read this book that I personally just

590
00:26:01,668 --> 00:26:04,428
Speaker 3: made up during a commercial break, and it's titled This

591
00:26:04,948 --> 00:26:08,628
Speaker 3: Outer Acceptance, How to Make Any Play that comes your

592
00:26:08,668 --> 00:26:10,748
Speaker 3: way on the Road to a Super Bowl, written by

593
00:26:10,788 --> 00:26:13,828
Speaker 3: Kellen Moore AJ Brown, I would say, stop looking for

594
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:17,028
Speaker 3: inner excellence and just catch the ball when it's thrown

595
00:26:17,028 --> 00:26:19,188
Speaker 3: to you and be happy with that. In the postgame

596
00:26:19,188 --> 00:26:21,868
Speaker 3: interview with Stacy Dill's the other day after the NFC Championship,

597
00:26:22,068 --> 00:26:24,628
Speaker 3: she asked him, were you searching for the inner excellence?

598
00:26:24,668 --> 00:26:26,468
Speaker 3: And he's like, yeah, I guess I always am, Like

599
00:26:26,708 --> 00:26:29,988
Speaker 3: I'm done talking about inter excellence, outer just outer accept

600
00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:31,828
Speaker 3: the fact that you are going to New Orleans and

601
00:26:31,868 --> 00:26:34,508
Speaker 3: playing in a Super Bowl. I'm over this book. Makeup

602
00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:36,388
Speaker 3: for ten books. I don't care self help, Kyle, I'm

603
00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:36,748
Speaker 3: over this.

604
00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:40,948
Speaker 2: It's another banger, Jamie. Just a great answer. I was

605
00:26:40,948 --> 00:26:43,588
Speaker 2: completely with you, and it's good luck keeping that out

606
00:26:43,588 --> 00:26:46,908
Speaker 2: of the storylines. Mine has been well established. If you've

607
00:26:46,908 --> 00:26:49,428
Speaker 2: been on the show, if you watch the show, you

608
00:26:49,548 --> 00:26:55,108
Speaker 2: know that I despise adult birthdays. I don't like adults

609
00:26:55,108 --> 00:26:58,068
Speaker 2: celebrating their birthdays. I don't like me celebrating my birthday.

610
00:26:58,148 --> 00:27:00,868
Speaker 2: I just once, if you're celebrating your birthday and talking

611
00:27:00,868 --> 00:27:03,388
Speaker 2: about your birthday a lot. You were at the roller

612
00:27:03,468 --> 00:27:05,548
Speaker 2: rink with the other nine year old friends you have

613
00:27:05,628 --> 00:27:08,108
Speaker 2: from fourth grade. I just don't like it. I like

614
00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:11,508
Speaker 2: television segments about birthdays even less. I'm in the minority

615
00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:13,668
Speaker 2: in that. In this crowd, I just don't like unless

616
00:27:13,668 --> 00:27:17,148
Speaker 2: it's twenty one, thirty, forty fifty six, fine, these random

617
00:27:17,228 --> 00:27:20,908
Speaker 2: on forty three? Who cares? I hate it, And which

618
00:27:20,948 --> 00:27:25,268
Speaker 2: is why I'm incredibly chagrined to remind the public that

619
00:27:25,388 --> 00:27:29,868
Speaker 2: on February ninth, Super Bowl Sunday, it's Sakuon Barkley's birthday

620
00:27:30,548 --> 00:27:32,988
Speaker 2: and he turns twenty eight years old, and it is

621
00:27:33,108 --> 00:27:36,988
Speaker 2: just so irresistible to talk about the birthday. Boy gets

622
00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:39,988
Speaker 2: a touchdown. It's his birthday. It's his birthday, and I

623
00:27:40,068 --> 00:27:43,388
Speaker 2: wish it ended there and that would be enough. On

624
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:46,708
Speaker 2: February ninth, the Super Bowl Sunday, it's also Cooper de

625
00:27:46,828 --> 00:27:50,268
Speaker 2: Jean's birthday, who is turning twenty two. Now. If he

626
00:27:50,348 --> 00:27:51,908
Speaker 2: was turning twenty one, then we got something. You win

627
00:27:51,948 --> 00:27:53,268
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, you can do twenty one shots and

628
00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:56,268
Speaker 2: puke and the gutter. That's great, guys. We have two

629
00:27:56,348 --> 00:27:59,948
Speaker 2: birthdays from the Eagles on Super Bowl Sunday. I wish

630
00:27:59,988 --> 00:28:02,508
Speaker 2: it'd stop there. There will be a reference with because

631
00:28:02,548 --> 00:28:07,068
Speaker 2: of Philadelphia too. It's always sunny Philadelphia on February ninth,

632
00:28:07,508 --> 00:28:12,308
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday. It's Charlie Day's birthday. I'm not making

633
00:28:12,348 --> 00:28:16,588
Speaker 2: this up. It's not Kind's birthday too. It's all coming together,

634
00:28:17,228 --> 00:28:20,388
Speaker 2: so much birthday talk, and I had to Google to

635
00:28:20,428 --> 00:28:23,468
Speaker 2: make sure it's not. It's not Burkhart or Brady's birthday

636
00:28:23,508 --> 00:28:26,828
Speaker 2: or Ea Ronald It's not, thank God. But I would

637
00:28:26,868 --> 00:28:30,468
Speaker 2: just ask all of them. I understand people love birthdays,

638
00:28:30,468 --> 00:28:32,628
Speaker 2: and I'm a total curmudgeon when it comes to birthdays.

639
00:28:32,908 --> 00:28:35,188
Speaker 2: Can we keep it light? Can we just not go

640
00:28:35,308 --> 00:28:37,548
Speaker 2: a deep dive on it happens to be the same

641
00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:39,628
Speaker 2: day you were born, it's the Super Bowl. There's so

642
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:42,548
Speaker 2: many more interesting things about Saquan Degen and Charlie Day

643
00:28:42,588 --> 00:28:45,268
Speaker 2: for that matter. And yet it's already become a monster online.

644
00:28:45,348 --> 00:28:47,508
Speaker 2: The tweets are already. I just bring them up. People

645
00:28:47,548 --> 00:28:51,788
Speaker 2: are just they're tweeting their backsides up. Cooper de Gene

646
00:28:51,788 --> 00:28:54,628
Speaker 2: gets his first interception on his birthday in the Super Bowl.

647
00:28:54,748 --> 00:28:57,788
Speaker 2: That's from Uncle Vaughan, Uncle Vaughan respect this next tweet

648
00:28:58,348 --> 00:29:00,228
Speaker 2: for them to play the Soup Bowl on their birthdays.

649
00:29:00,268 --> 00:29:03,108
Speaker 2: That's definitely a good sign. Is it? Isn't that any

650
00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:05,948
Speaker 2: connected tessue whatsoever. If it was their birthday in August,

651
00:29:05,948 --> 00:29:07,028
Speaker 2: they're not going to win the game. And then the

652
00:29:07,028 --> 00:29:10,948
Speaker 2: best one, Look at this, they're Jersey numbers. Wait a second,

653
00:29:10,988 --> 00:29:13,828
Speaker 2: Super fifty nine, twenty six.

654
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:18,428
Speaker 8: Plus, all right, I like that one.

655
00:29:19,588 --> 00:29:22,628
Speaker 2: That's real the sign, The signs are there. So Peter

656
00:29:22,868 --> 00:29:25,908
Speaker 2: likes it, and most people do like birthdays. I'm not

657
00:29:25,988 --> 00:29:28,748
Speaker 2: telling you I'm not a jerk about this. I'm admitting it,

658
00:29:29,228 --> 00:29:31,668
Speaker 2: but I'm just over it. Once you turn twenty one,

659
00:29:32,028 --> 00:29:34,228
Speaker 2: no one cares about your birthday. And if you care

660
00:29:34,268 --> 00:29:36,388
Speaker 2: that much about your birthday, I promise the people around

661
00:29:36,428 --> 00:29:39,508
Speaker 2: you are pretending. So please, I'm already sick that it's

662
00:29:39,508 --> 00:29:42,068
Speaker 2: Sakwanda Jean's and Charlie Day's birthday. Let's send it there, please.

663
00:29:42,228 --> 00:29:43,708
Speaker 2: And Kyle, where are you from?

664
00:29:43,988 --> 00:29:44,628
Speaker 5: What You're from?

00:29:44,708 --> 00:29:47,428
Speaker 2: Chicago right morning? Raised in Chicago suburbs, Okay.

666
00:29:47,188 --> 00:29:49,668
Speaker 5: And so you would appreciate this because the week after

667
00:29:49,748 --> 00:29:52,548
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl and after their birthday, it's your favorite

668
00:29:52,588 --> 00:29:55,948
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan's birthday February seventeenth, see another birthday.

669
00:29:55,948 --> 00:29:59,068
Speaker 2: See I know you'd appreciate it. You appreciate my whole life.

670
00:29:59,108 --> 00:30:00,868
Speaker 2: He's the most famous athlete ever. I have no idea

671
00:30:00,868 --> 00:30:03,668
Speaker 2: when his birthday is. Who cares? You don't get me

672
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:05,508
Speaker 2: start on Zodiac time. You can go down that thing too.

673
00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:08,388
Speaker 2: But that's the ugly, stupid cousin of birthdays. Thank god

674
00:30:08,428 --> 00:30:12,588
Speaker 2: we got that out of the way. You feel better, No,

675
00:30:12,748 --> 00:30:16,268
Speaker 2: I feel worse because I know it's inevitable. I'm trying

676
00:30:16,268 --> 00:30:19,148
Speaker 2: to hold back the leaks and the damn it's not

677
00:30:19,148 --> 00:30:22,268
Speaker 2: gonna happen. It's gonna be the cake man's.

678
00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:24,868
Speaker 3: Face if he wins the Super Bowl. You like you

679
00:30:24,988 --> 00:30:29,268
Speaker 3: got another thing coming, all right, I'm.

680
00:30:29,148 --> 00:30:31,468
Speaker 2: Gonna get frosting all of the Lombardi Trophy. They were

681
00:30:31,468 --> 00:30:39,668
Speaker 2: going to disrespect your de file, the sterling silver butter Cake.

682
00:30:43,108 --> 00:30:47,628
Speaker 2: Charlie Day, Happy birthday, every night. Enjoy buddy.

683
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:52,108
Speaker 8: Welcome back to Good Morning Football. You know we've got

684
00:30:52,148 --> 00:30:54,588
Speaker 8: Ron Rivera at the table. There's still so many questions

685
00:30:54,748 --> 00:30:56,388
Speaker 8: we want to ask Ron, and he's got so many

686
00:30:56,428 --> 00:30:59,308
Speaker 8: connections around the league and so much great experience. Ron

687
00:30:59,708 --> 00:31:01,428
Speaker 8: the first thing I have. We're here in New York

688
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:05,388
Speaker 8: and this Jets process was length They said they were

689
00:31:05,388 --> 00:31:08,228
Speaker 8: going to uncover every stone. You were one of the

690
00:31:08,268 --> 00:31:10,548
Speaker 8: head coaching candidates they actually met with. Now that it's

691
00:31:10,588 --> 00:31:13,268
Speaker 8: all said and done and Aaron Glenn has gotten the job,

692
00:31:13,308 --> 00:31:15,028
Speaker 8: can you take us inside the room and maybe for

693
00:31:15,108 --> 00:31:17,588
Speaker 8: Jets fans, tell us what they were asking you and

694
00:31:17,628 --> 00:31:19,548
Speaker 8: maybe what they were looking for in a head coach

695
00:31:19,788 --> 00:31:21,868
Speaker 8: through the questions that they asked during your interview.

696
00:31:22,148 --> 00:31:24,468
Speaker 4: You know, probably the first and foremost thing was leadership.

697
00:31:24,988 --> 00:31:26,668
Speaker 4: What type of leader are you? How are you going

698
00:31:26,748 --> 00:31:28,268
Speaker 4: to lead this football team? I think that was one

699
00:31:28,308 --> 00:31:29,468
Speaker 4: of the things that they're looking for as a guy

700
00:31:29,468 --> 00:31:31,788
Speaker 4: to step up in front of everybody and be that leader.

701
00:31:32,148 --> 00:31:34,788
Speaker 4: And again, Aaron, I think is a terrific choice because

702
00:31:34,828 --> 00:31:37,468
Speaker 4: of the legacy thing as well. You know, he's a

703
00:31:37,468 --> 00:31:39,548
Speaker 4: big part of their history. He's been part of the history,

704
00:31:39,548 --> 00:31:41,868
Speaker 4: so he understands what it takes the dynamics of what

705
00:31:41,908 --> 00:31:42,668
Speaker 4: it takes to.

706
00:31:42,548 --> 00:31:43,468
Speaker 2: Be a New York Jet.

707
00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:45,788
Speaker 4: Secondly, I think one of the more important things also

708
00:31:45,868 --> 00:31:47,348
Speaker 4: is a guy that's going to be able to relate

709
00:31:47,388 --> 00:31:50,028
Speaker 4: and get the players to buy in. He's coming from

710
00:31:50,028 --> 00:31:52,948
Speaker 4: a process that he has gone through in Detroit and

711
00:31:52,988 --> 00:31:55,948
Speaker 4: when they were very successful. He's going to point to

712
00:31:55,988 --> 00:31:58,828
Speaker 4: that use that examples. So now what he's going to

713
00:31:58,868 --> 00:32:00,708
Speaker 4: probably do too is find a couple of guys from

714
00:32:00,788 --> 00:32:03,748
Speaker 4: Detroit that he could pluck, put them on the Jets roster,

715
00:32:04,068 --> 00:32:06,028
Speaker 4: and be able to have to those guys step up

716
00:32:06,068 --> 00:32:08,548
Speaker 4: and talk about who Aaron Glenn is as a coach,

717
00:32:08,788 --> 00:32:10,908
Speaker 4: but more importantly as a person, and how he's going

718
00:32:10,988 --> 00:32:12,788
Speaker 4: to relate to his team. And I think that's going

719
00:32:12,828 --> 00:32:14,228
Speaker 4: to be very very important as well.

720
00:32:14,508 --> 00:32:17,628
Speaker 5: And coach, you've been in this position before, obviously coming

721
00:32:17,708 --> 00:32:20,748
Speaker 5: into this position, what would you say to Coach Glenn

722
00:32:20,828 --> 00:32:22,508
Speaker 5: and for all the other coaches too that are just

723
00:32:22,588 --> 00:32:26,348
Speaker 5: coming into this spot where sometimes it's very easy to

724
00:32:26,508 --> 00:32:29,988
Speaker 5: model what you've seen before that's had success and you

725
00:32:30,068 --> 00:32:32,988
Speaker 5: try to replicate it rather than being yourself. Like, how

726
00:32:32,988 --> 00:32:35,188
Speaker 5: does a coach come into his own without trying to

727
00:32:35,228 --> 00:32:36,468
Speaker 5: replicate what he'd seen before.

728
00:32:36,548 --> 00:32:38,548
Speaker 4: That's a great question because what happens a lot of

729
00:32:38,548 --> 00:32:41,348
Speaker 4: guys try to become the guy that they were coaching for,

730
00:32:42,028 --> 00:32:44,068
Speaker 4: you know, and you can't be that guy because players

731
00:32:44,108 --> 00:32:46,628
Speaker 4: will feel it and they'll understand you're not being authentic.

732
00:32:46,948 --> 00:32:49,708
Speaker 4: If you replicate what's happened before, but you're authentic and

733
00:32:49,748 --> 00:32:51,428
Speaker 4: do it in your own way, have your own style,

734
00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:53,988
Speaker 4: it's going to be very successful. A great example of

735
00:32:54,028 --> 00:32:55,748
Speaker 4: guys that's done that and done it very well is

736
00:32:55,748 --> 00:32:57,228
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott up in Buffalo.

737
00:32:57,468 --> 00:32:59,988
Speaker 2: Sean learned from Andy. He learned from me, but Sean

738
00:33:00,028 --> 00:33:01,228
Speaker 2: took it and made it his own.

739
00:33:01,348 --> 00:33:04,828
Speaker 4: That's important because the players feel it when you're really authentic,

740
00:33:04,868 --> 00:33:06,748
Speaker 4: and I think Erin Glynn's going to be very authentic

741
00:33:06,828 --> 00:33:09,508
Speaker 4: his first press conference, that was Aaron Glynn. That's what

742
00:33:09,508 --> 00:33:11,828
Speaker 4: the players need to understand. They're going to get that

743
00:33:11,908 --> 00:33:14,828
Speaker 4: guy every day for three hundred and sixty five days

744
00:33:14,868 --> 00:33:15,508
Speaker 4: during the season.

745
00:33:16,148 --> 00:33:18,708
Speaker 2: Or here I should say nothing. Coach. You mentioned Sean McDermott.

746
00:33:19,108 --> 00:33:22,508
Speaker 2: He's obviously coming off a very difficult defeat, another bitter

747
00:33:22,548 --> 00:33:26,668
Speaker 2: one to Kansas City. To Andy. There is a vocal

748
00:33:26,788 --> 00:33:31,228
Speaker 2: minority online that says maybe it's time to consider something

749
00:33:31,268 --> 00:33:33,388
Speaker 2: different at head coach. I personally don't agree with it,

750
00:33:33,428 --> 00:33:36,108
Speaker 2: but Andy's the perfect example. In Philadelphia, you tried, you tried,

751
00:33:36,108 --> 00:33:38,068
Speaker 2: you tried. Eventually they moved on. It was a better

752
00:33:38,148 --> 00:33:41,508
Speaker 2: fit for both of them. Take ye, your relationship from McDermott,

753
00:33:41,548 --> 00:33:43,628
Speaker 2: everything you know about him, What do you say in

754
00:33:43,668 --> 00:33:46,188
Speaker 2: response to that they can't get over the mountain and

755
00:33:46,268 --> 00:33:50,148
Speaker 2: he has this unbelievable talented quarterback. When you hear that

756
00:33:50,268 --> 00:33:52,988
Speaker 2: maybe it's time to at least consider a different head coach,

757
00:33:53,188 --> 00:33:54,148
Speaker 2: how do you feel? Well?

758
00:33:54,668 --> 00:33:56,388
Speaker 4: I feel bad about it, because again, the truth of

759
00:33:56,428 --> 00:33:59,828
Speaker 4: the matter is this is a player's game. What one spot,

760
00:33:59,908 --> 00:34:01,828
Speaker 4: one position. They've got to find this out him and

761
00:34:01,828 --> 00:34:03,468
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean, you got to get together and talk about

762
00:34:03,588 --> 00:34:06,468
Speaker 4: what's the one person, the one player, the one type

763
00:34:06,508 --> 00:34:08,748
Speaker 4: of player or position that we can We got to

764
00:34:08,828 --> 00:34:11,428
Speaker 4: find that'll take us to the next step. That's how

765
00:34:11,428 --> 00:34:13,588
Speaker 4: close they are. They are so close that you can

766
00:34:13,588 --> 00:34:15,708
Speaker 4: feel it that I really believe it's about finding the

767
00:34:15,748 --> 00:34:19,308
Speaker 4: one more right guy that fits for them and says, hey,

768
00:34:19,548 --> 00:34:21,108
Speaker 4: I'm here to help take us over to the top

769
00:34:21,228 --> 00:34:21,668
Speaker 4: less role.

770
00:34:21,788 --> 00:34:23,268
Speaker 3: I like jumping all around with you in the head

771
00:34:23,268 --> 00:34:26,228
Speaker 3: coaching topics. Do you find it as entertaining as we do?

772
00:34:26,428 --> 00:34:28,348
Speaker 3: Now that you look at the four head coaches in

773
00:34:28,388 --> 00:34:31,388
Speaker 3: the AFC West and the names that are in that room,

774
00:34:31,748 --> 00:34:33,908
Speaker 3: and the press conferences that we are going to see

775
00:34:33,908 --> 00:34:37,068
Speaker 3: from these guys and Pete Carroll Harbaugh, Sean Payton and

776
00:34:37,068 --> 00:34:39,868
Speaker 3: Andy Reid? Do you a find that entertaining? And b

777
00:34:40,068 --> 00:34:41,748
Speaker 3: if you are a coach in a division like that,

778
00:34:42,108 --> 00:34:44,108
Speaker 3: is there an extra juice went into looking at that

779
00:34:44,148 --> 00:34:44,748
Speaker 3: guy across the.

780
00:34:44,748 --> 00:34:45,348
Speaker 2: Sideline at you?

781
00:34:45,468 --> 00:34:47,468
Speaker 4: Well, most certainly that really is extra juice. I mean

782
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:50,028
Speaker 4: you think about who you're going to be competing against,

783
00:34:50,068 --> 00:34:51,668
Speaker 4: who you're going to be calling plays against, how you're

784
00:34:51,708 --> 00:34:53,828
Speaker 4: going to match up, and then you try to think, well,

785
00:34:53,828 --> 00:34:56,468
Speaker 4: what's he telling his guys? You know, what is he

786
00:34:56,628 --> 00:34:59,148
Speaker 4: doing that that that you know is going to try

787
00:34:59,148 --> 00:35:01,148
Speaker 4: and create that edge? So you really do think about

788
00:35:01,188 --> 00:35:03,148
Speaker 4: those things. I always used to say about Andy, because

789
00:35:03,228 --> 00:35:05,108
Speaker 4: you know, we all grew up around Andy, you know,

790
00:35:05,188 --> 00:35:09,548
Speaker 4: myself and Sean and John harbaumby all these I mean

791
00:35:09,668 --> 00:35:12,268
Speaker 4: on that original staff there were eight young guys that

792
00:35:12,308 --> 00:35:13,948
Speaker 4: all became head coaches in the NFL.

793
00:35:14,068 --> 00:35:14,348
Speaker 3: WOW.

794
00:35:14,468 --> 00:35:17,308
Speaker 4: And I promise you every tib I used to coach

795
00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:20,188
Speaker 4: against Andy, I used to think he knows that I know,

796
00:35:20,348 --> 00:35:22,188
Speaker 4: So he knows that I know, He's going to do

797
00:35:22,268 --> 00:35:23,428
Speaker 4: something he doesn't think I know.

798
00:35:24,028 --> 00:35:26,308
Speaker 2: And you always try to figure out where he's going.

799
00:35:26,428 --> 00:35:27,868
Speaker 2: I mean, that's who Andy is.

800
00:35:27,948 --> 00:35:30,228
Speaker 4: I mean, he's trying to find that one little chink,

801
00:35:30,308 --> 00:35:32,668
Speaker 4: that one little thing that he can get and give

802
00:35:32,708 --> 00:35:33,508
Speaker 4: his team an edge.

803
00:35:34,868 --> 00:35:37,308
Speaker 8: Really quick. Ron and I love that. It's like a

804
00:35:37,348 --> 00:35:38,308
Speaker 8: game of game theory.

805
00:35:38,828 --> 00:35:40,988
Speaker 2: You're a former Bears legend, you work for the Bears.

806
00:35:40,988 --> 00:35:43,988
Speaker 8: Obviously they hire Ben Johnson, and his opening press conference,

807
00:35:44,508 --> 00:35:47,148
Speaker 8: he mentions Dan Campbell by name, Kevin O'Connor by name,

808
00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:49,788
Speaker 8: and then out of nowhere, he says, and I can't

809
00:35:49,788 --> 00:35:53,028
Speaker 8: wait to be Matt Lafleur twice, as I've done before

810
00:35:53,228 --> 00:35:56,308
Speaker 8: in my career. He and Lafloor have no relationship prior

811
00:35:56,348 --> 00:35:58,548
Speaker 8: to that statement. What was your reaction to him calling

812
00:35:58,628 --> 00:35:59,588
Speaker 8: Lafleur out by name.

813
00:35:59,988 --> 00:36:03,868
Speaker 4: Let's go, baby, let's go. I'm a Chicago Bear. I

814
00:36:03,948 --> 00:36:05,828
Speaker 4: had an op opportunity when I played back in the

815
00:36:05,948 --> 00:36:09,188
Speaker 4: day to have a winning record. Okay, so I was

816
00:36:09,228 --> 00:36:12,188
Speaker 4: thirteen and five against the Packers as a Bear when

817
00:36:12,188 --> 00:36:14,588
Speaker 4: I played for the team back in the eighties. And

818
00:36:14,868 --> 00:36:18,068
Speaker 4: so anytime a head coach comes out and he challenges

819
00:36:18,148 --> 00:36:19,748
Speaker 4: green Bay, to me, that's exciting.

820
00:36:19,828 --> 00:36:20,588
Speaker 2: That's what you want.

821
00:36:20,628 --> 00:36:22,108
Speaker 4: You want your guy to put it out there that,

822
00:36:22,148 --> 00:36:24,988
Speaker 4: hey man, we're coming after green Bay because for us.

823
00:36:25,348 --> 00:36:28,388
Speaker 4: That's the greatest natural rivalry in the NFL, and the

824
00:36:28,428 --> 00:36:30,668
Speaker 4: Bears and the Packers, and so to see a coach

825
00:36:30,708 --> 00:36:32,668
Speaker 4: that's confident that, hey, he's going to put it out there.

826
00:36:32,708 --> 00:36:33,668
Speaker 2: Now, he's got to live up.

827
00:36:33,548 --> 00:36:35,548
Speaker 4: To it, a little bit of pressure on himself, but

828
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:36,788
Speaker 4: I think he loves the pressure.

829
00:36:36,908 --> 00:36:39,348
Speaker 3: What a phenomenal elbow that was to green Bay. I

830
00:36:39,388 --> 00:36:42,388
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to be thirteen and five against the

831
00:36:42,388 --> 00:36:45,148
Speaker 3: green Bay past, to have a winning record against the

832
00:36:45,148 --> 00:36:46,548
Speaker 3: green Bay Packers.

833
00:36:46,588 --> 00:36:48,628
Speaker 2: Awesome, coach. We appreciate you so much.

834
00:36:48,708 --> 00:36:51,868
Speaker 3: The most natural rivalry in the NFL exists between Chicago

835
00:36:51,948 --> 00:36:52,348
Speaker 3: green Bay.

836
00:36:52,428 --> 00:36:53,228
Speaker 2: Well done, Gross,
