Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. What a crazy twenty four hours. Never seen
Speaker 1: it before and we won't see it again. Two of
Speaker 1: the greatest coaches of all time decide that they are
Speaker 1: going to well go in a different direction for Nick
Speaker 1: Saban going into retirement, Bill Belichick another NFL team.
Speaker 2: There'll be a press conference in an hour from now
Speaker 2: in New England, Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft together. Pete
Speaker 2: Carroll sounds like he wants to you know what, let's
Speaker 2: play this. It certainly sounds like Pete Carroll kind of
Speaker 2: went out the door kicking and screaming in Seattle and
Speaker 2: still wants to coach.
Speaker 3: I competed pretty hard to be the coach, just so
Speaker 3: you know, because I just wanted to make sure that
Speaker 3: I stood up for all of our coaches and the
Speaker 3: players and the things that we'd accomplished, not so that
Speaker 3: we could be the coach still, but so that we
Speaker 3: could continue to have a chance to be successful and
Speaker 3: keep your organization going. That's what I was fighting for,
Speaker 3: So in that regard, that was what I was representing
Speaker 3: in our discussions, and we got to a good part,
Speaker 3: a good clean spot where made sense and you know,
Speaker 3: I went along with their intentions.
Speaker 2: Okay, but it does sound like he still wants to coach.
Speaker 2: They said you can be an advisor, but it sounded
Speaker 2: like Pete still wants to coach. I can't imagine Pete
Speaker 2: as an advisor. Just feels like he's going to be
Speaker 2: a coach or he's going to be sitting on the
Speaker 2: beach somewhere. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Speaker 2: Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: It's not wild Card Weekend. Oh no, It's Super wild
Speaker 2: Card Weekend and it starts Saturday on NBC and Peacock.
Speaker 2: It'll be the Browns taking on the Texan Super wild
Speaker 2: Card Weekend, presented by Verizon. Good Morning. If you're watching
Speaker 2: on Peacock, our streaming partner, you can watch The Gang
Speaker 2: Saturday night in Kansas City, the Chiefs and the Dolphins
Speaker 2: on Peacock exclusively streaming. We did talk a lot about
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick and the Patriots. We talked a little bit
Speaker 2: about Mike Rabel maybe going into New England. We talked
Speaker 2: about Pete Carroll and who's gonna Maybe Dan Quinn would
Speaker 2: be the coach in Seattle he's been there before, and
Speaker 2: you'll obviously have the Nick Saban situation retiring after seventeen
Speaker 2: seasons at Alabama. Eli Gold has been there for every
Speaker 2: one of those seasons. Longtime Alabama football play by playboys,
Speaker 2: the voice of the Crimson Tide since nineteen eighty eight. Eli,
Speaker 2: your reaction when you heard that Nick was going to
Speaker 2: call it a career, Well, I was disappointed.
Speaker 4: I was surprised. I mean, we all knew eventually that
Speaker 4: was going to happen sometime, but we didn't know when.
Speaker 4: But you know, selflessly, I was disappointed. I've loved working
Speaker 4: with him. The fans, I'm sure were disappointed. But at
Speaker 4: the same time, Dan, I am happy for the coach
Speaker 4: and for Miss Terry, and for the kids and for
Speaker 4: the grandchildren. Let's face it, he has earned some time
Speaker 4: now to kick back with the family, and so for him,
Speaker 4: I'm very happy.
Speaker 2: I wonder the role that transfer portal, name, image and
Speaker 2: likeness played for maybe speeding up this process.
Speaker 4: I'm sure I can't speak for him, but I'm sure
Speaker 4: it had some impact. You know, the game has changed,
Speaker 4: it has changed, and the transfer portal has usually worked
Speaker 4: in Alabama's favor. You know, it's worked in Alabama's favor.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much this whole thing impacted him,
Speaker 4: but certainly with the game changing as it has, and
Speaker 4: you know, teams bidding a million dollars three hundred thousand,
Speaker 4: five hundred thousand, that's not the college game that Nick
Speaker 4: Saban knew and loved growing up.
Speaker 2: The importance of Saban to the SEC is what and to.
Speaker 4: All of college football then, I mean, teams and coaches
Speaker 4: have changed their approach. I mean the SEC was a
Speaker 4: CBS and Nick Saban effort, if you will, that's point
Speaker 4: number one. But yeah, he has revolutionized the game.
Speaker 5: He has taught.
Speaker 4: Everybody how to coach and how to do different things.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, he is just He is an outstanding coach,
Speaker 4: an outstanding person. He truly has a good sense of humor,
Speaker 4: although a lot of the fans don't get to see
Speaker 4: that in that forty second SoundBite from behind the podium.
Speaker 5: But he is a genuinely.
Speaker 4: Nice guy and wants what is best for his players
Speaker 4: and what's best for the game. And you know, I
Speaker 4: wish there was a position of Commissioner of College Football
Speaker 4: because he'd be magnificent to fill that position. But obviously
Speaker 4: such a position does not exist. But you know, the
Speaker 4: man's great. He has meant so much to college ball
Speaker 4: and the SEC, and of course to building the Alabama
Speaker 4: brand to where it is today.
Speaker 2: What's next for Nick Saban?
Speaker 5: I honestly don't know. He's gonna do something.
Speaker 4: I'm sure I can't imagine him just disappearing, you know,
Speaker 4: whether he becomes a broadcaster, whether he works for the SEC,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I have no idea, but he has
Speaker 4: too much to offer for him to just drift off
Speaker 4: to his new home in Florida and disappear.
Speaker 5: That's not going to happen. I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: Your favorite play that you called during Nick Saban's tenure
Speaker 2: was what it would have.
Speaker 4: To be, the two A tongueo Vlowa completion to DeVante
Speaker 4: Smith to win the national title against Georgia. Because A
Speaker 4: was a spectacular play. B It came right after that
Speaker 4: devastating sack, and it was because Nick Saban was Nick Saban.
Speaker 5: How many coaches would have.
Speaker 4: Had the guts, shall I say, to have changed quarterbacks
Speaker 4: at halftime and prought in somebody with virtually no experience.
Speaker 4: That's one thing about what's what made Nick Saban one
Speaker 4: of the greats. He wasn't afraid to change, He wasn't
Speaker 4: afraid to learn from others. He wasn't going to force
Speaker 4: feed his offense to a group of players that couldn't
Speaker 4: execute that offense. He was not afraid of change. But
Speaker 4: that play and in the aftermath of bringing to in
Speaker 4: at halftime, that was one of many. I mean, there's
Speaker 4: so many, but if you hold my feet to the
Speaker 4: fire for one, that would be it.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's great to have you on and glad you're
Speaker 2: feeling better. You're not retiring right, No.
Speaker 4: No, not at all unless you know something else.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no, I didn't. Thank you
Speaker 2: and Saban we're a package deal.
Speaker 5: No, we're not. We're separate.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm feeling well after my cancer deal last year,
Speaker 4: and it was kind of kind of you to have
Speaker 4: me on last year to check on me, and I
Speaker 4: appreciate it, and you know it's I'm looking forward to
Speaker 4: another season.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Eli, Thank you Dan.
Speaker 5: Good to see it.
Speaker 2: That's Eli Gold, longtime Alabama football host, radio play by play,
Speaker 2: the voice of the Crimson Time. A couple of phone
Speaker 2: calls in here, and I'm going to bring back an
Speaker 2: interview I did with Nick Saban. This is a year
Speaker 2: and a half ago, and you know what can we
Speaker 2: do it now? So this is this is a year
Speaker 2: and a half ago, I think, so August of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two, when I sit down with Nick Saban, here
Speaker 2: is the question and the answer, when's the last time
Speaker 2: you thought about retiring?
Speaker 6: I don't really think about retiring. I always think about
Speaker 6: what the heck am I going to do if I
Speaker 6: do retire? And that's a scary that's a scary thought.
Speaker 2: I don't think about it either, coach when people say
Speaker 2: how much long are you going to do this? And
Speaker 2: I go, I don't know why I like doing what
Speaker 2: I'm doing. I don't know what I'm going to do
Speaker 2: if when I stop doing it.
Speaker 6: That's exactly how I feel. And I don't know if
Speaker 6: that's hard for people to understand. There's nothing that I
Speaker 6: want to do. Like some people want to go to
Speaker 6: Europe or go to Scotland and play golf and all that.
Speaker 6: I don't. You know, I wouldn't mind doing all that stuff,
Speaker 6: but I don't have to quit my job to do it.
Speaker 6: I worry about, you know, what am I going to
Speaker 6: do if I don't do this. And when I say
Speaker 6: what am I going to do? I don't mean play
Speaker 6: golf or whatever. I mean, how are you going to
Speaker 6: get any kind of positive self gratification and feeling of
Speaker 6: accomplishment when you've done something for so long that you
Speaker 6: like so much and then all of a sudden it's
Speaker 6: not there. So that's it's a good question. I don't
Speaker 6: really have the answer to that.
Speaker 2: One who retires first? You were Bill Belichick.
Speaker 6: That's a hypothetical question that I'm not sure I'm qualified
Speaker 6: to answer. I don't know what his feelings are, so
Speaker 6: I really can't speak for him. But you know how
Speaker 6: I'm I'm kind of committed to the grind.
Speaker 2: But could I see you coach a high school team
Speaker 2: like defensive? A defensive coach for a high school team, like?
Speaker 2: Could you find satisfaction gratification doing something like that?
Speaker 6: A good question? You know, I like coaching players. When
Speaker 6: we have high school camps here or we have young players,
Speaker 6: I enjoy coaching those players as much as I enjoy
Speaker 6: coaching our players. Of course, you only have them for
Speaker 6: a day or two, but it's still the whole thought
Speaker 6: of helping somebody get better that I think is you know,
Speaker 6: coaching is teaching, teaching and nowheredy to inspire learning. So
Speaker 6: if you're doing that, I think you know there's a
Speaker 6: lot of those of their self gratification in that as well.
Speaker 2: It started out with a little bit of a joke,
Speaker 2: having some fun, and then it got a little more
Speaker 2: serious because I think that's what you think. Nick is
Speaker 2: a few years older than me, But you also think
Speaker 2: about what do you do when you retire because there's
Speaker 2: no handbook that goes along with it. I've done this
Speaker 2: every single day At certain points at ESPN, I had
Speaker 2: six days a week that I was working, but it's
Speaker 2: five days. I love the grind Monday through Friday. I
Speaker 2: love going into work and I can't imagine not working
Speaker 2: and having a day like today where you have all
Speaker 2: of these resources, all of these great guests that Fritzie
Speaker 2: lined up, all of these talking points, and I'll miss that.
Speaker 2: But Nick, I can see maybe doing some media. I
Speaker 2: don't know if he joined College Game Day maybe, but
Speaker 2: do you want to do that full time because it
Speaker 2: is a full time job when you're on the road
Speaker 2: with them, and I don't know if that is something
Speaker 2: that would get his creative competitive juices going because I
Speaker 2: don't want to go to a country club, play golf,
Speaker 2: have a couple of beers, and then do that the
Speaker 2: next day, and then the next day because it sounds like, well,
Speaker 2: that'd be great. And then it's like when you go
Speaker 2: to the beach where you're like, man, I'd never get
Speaker 2: tired of this until you get tired of this, and
Speaker 2: then you go, I need something here. So I can't
Speaker 2: imagine what that feeling must be like. But he did
Speaker 2: come to the realization as I did when I said, look,
Speaker 2: this is my last contract, and I know when I'm
Speaker 2: going to retire, and then now I have four years
Speaker 2: to prepare for that. Nick might have been preparing for
Speaker 2: the last couple of months, maybe a year or so,
Speaker 2: but until you get to that point, now you're retired,
Speaker 2: he doesn't go into work. And I ask a source yesterday,
Speaker 2: could you see Nick maybe in a role that Mike
Speaker 2: Krzyzewski has had with John Shier at Duke, sort of
Speaker 2: helping the transition by being in there just to help,
Speaker 2: because sometimes you don't want that guy that you replaced
Speaker 2: being in there, but then other times, man, what a
Speaker 2: wealth of knowledge that you could tap into that and
Speaker 2: I wonder if Nick would be there for that transitional period,
Speaker 2: if the new coach would want him there, or is
Speaker 2: it going to be you know, hey, we're done, I've
Speaker 2: done everything I can do. I'm turning and get over.
Speaker 2: We're changing the locks. Here's the new coach and good luck. Yeah, Marvin.
Speaker 7: Do you think that would only work if it was
Speaker 7: somebody from inside of the family, like somebody that was
Speaker 7: a decoordinator and they got promoted to head coach, yes,
Speaker 7: instead of maybe like Dan Lanningworth.
Speaker 2: Well Lanning used to be there, So I mean, maybe
Speaker 2: it's a little bit different if you promote from within,
Speaker 2: But I don't think Alabama is going to promote from within.
Speaker 2: It feels like all the candidates. I didn't hear anybody
Speaker 2: who is from within. Yesterday, and once again I talked
Speaker 2: to a source who said we were all surprised. There
Speaker 2: was no heads up here that Nick was interviewing candidates
Speaker 2: to be the receivers coach. Why would you think, oh,
Speaker 2: he's going to be doing interviews. Oh yeah, he's going
Speaker 2: to retire later on today. And I think that that
Speaker 2: was the surprise. But then there's part of him that
Speaker 2: probably that's part of my job until I announced that
Speaker 2: it's not my job that he wanted to help the program.
Speaker 2: But well, we've reached out to coach Saban, and you know,
Speaker 2: if we get an opportunity to have him on, that
Speaker 2: would be great. And same with Pete Carroll, Mike Brabel,
Speaker 2: Fritzy reaches out to everybody there, Sam and Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Sam, what's on your mind?
Speaker 8: Hi, five eleven, two hundred. Yep. Yeah, I just moved
Speaker 8: to Los Angeles and looking for some trude recommendations. But
Speaker 8: also I'm curious what Jimmy Jimmerson's take on all of
Speaker 8: the coaching changes are.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well, thank you, Sam. We would always say
Speaker 2: food trucks in Los Angeles, that'd be the place that
Speaker 2: we would go. Let's go to Jimmy Jimmerson get his
Speaker 2: thoughts on the coaching carousel. Jimmy, your thoughts on this?
Speaker 9: Well, this is a forty eight hours onlike anything we've
Speaker 9: ever seen before. I mean, You've got massive coaching names,
Speaker 9: all looking for a job right now, potentially retiring. We've
Speaker 9: got Nick Saban, obviously one of the greatest college football
Speaker 9: coaches of all time at Alabama. We've got Bill Belichick,
Speaker 9: the creator of the Patriots dynasty several super bowls.
Speaker 5: Did it?
Speaker 9: No, not without Tom Brady, but certainly created Tom Brady.
Speaker 9: We've got Pete Carroll, who has won a Super Bowl,
Speaker 9: has won national championship in college, still very hungry, still
Speaker 9: wants to coach right now. Those guys are trying to
Speaker 9: figure out what they're doing, and teams are looking at them.
Speaker 2: Thank you, it's Jimmy, jim. But we were talking about Hall
Speaker 2: of famers here. Teams are looking at Uh you can
Speaker 2: always tell when they send it out to somebody and
Speaker 2: they really don't have anything to add. The hell of
Speaker 2: a paycheck to get though. Oh it is. I would
Speaker 2: imagine we are we are talking about Bill Belichick here, Yes,
Speaker 2: we are. Do you have anything you can add?
Speaker 9: I mean right now there are several teams currently looking
Speaker 9: for head coaches.
Speaker 2: Yes, those would be at the top of the list.
Speaker 2: Manny in California, him anning, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10: Ay, DP, first time, long time, Just wanted to see
Speaker 10: what the thoughts were on would you rather would you
Speaker 10: rather have Pete Carroll's coaching career or Nick Saban's coaching career?
Speaker 2: Thanks? All right, Well, I would take Nick Saban, because
Speaker 2: Nick Saban's the greatest at his you know, in his sport.
Speaker 2: In college football, he's the greatest. Pete has a national title,
Speaker 2: a couple of national titles, and he's got a Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: done it at both levels. Not many, not many people
Speaker 2: have that. Okay, all right, Todd, Nick Saban's career or
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go Nick sabans I hear both names. That
Speaker 11: seems like a lot more wasting.
Speaker 2: See no connor.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go Nick Saban too, but because of one reason,
Speaker 9: uh the athletic commercials uh no, okay. Pete Carroll is
Speaker 9: known for one play, oh man, no offense, just saying
Speaker 9: if Pete Carroll had two Super Bowls, no question, Pete
Speaker 9: Carroll all day, Okay, all day, Marvin, what about.
Speaker 5: You actually seeing?
Speaker 7: To correct you, He's known for two plays, not putting
Speaker 7: Reggie Bush in the game on fourth down against Texas.
Speaker 7: But that's neither here nor there. Sorry about that.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, PAULI.
Speaker 12: Pete Carroll's in the hall are very good for pro
Speaker 12: in college Nick Saban goat status. I gotta go Saban.
Speaker 2: Well, Pete's in the Hall of Fame for college football. Right,
Speaker 2: the Hall of very Good in the NFL. Right, Nick
Speaker 2: Saban is not in the Hall of anything in the NFL,
Speaker 2: but he is in the Hall of fame. He is
Speaker 2: emeritis with college football. Yes, Hunt, I.
Speaker 13: Think that second super Bowl would swing me over to Petek.
Speaker 9: Okay, two super bowls is a hell of an accomplished Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and two national titles. You'd be uh like Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good category. All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up. We're back after this.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 14: Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
Speaker 14: five to seven patern But here's the thing. We never
Speaker 14: have enough time to get to everything we want to
Speaker 14: get to.
Speaker 15: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
Speaker 15: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
Speaker 15: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
Speaker 15: because this guy is over promising things we never have
Speaker 15: time for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blubber list me.
Speaker 14: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
Speaker 14: be good at it. Because you've been over promising women
Speaker 14: for years.
Speaker 15: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
Speaker 15: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
Speaker 15: be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
Speaker 15: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
Speaker 15: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
Speaker 15: continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 14: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
Speaker 14: sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by
Speaker 14: the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
Speaker 14: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
Speaker 14: of all time.
Speaker 15: There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
Speaker 15: on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Speaker 15: Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
Speaker 15: wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Well, I just check the latest odds from DraftKings where
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick will coach Week one next season. The odds
Speaker 2: have changed. The odds have changed this morning. The team
Speaker 2: that is the favorite right now in Week one you're
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. They have moved ahead of the La Chargers.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened in the last like three
Speaker 2: hours but probably the media coverage talking about this with
Speaker 2: the Falcons as a real possibility. Tom Pelsero, NFL network insiders,
Speaker 2: said he could see that happening. I think that's a
Speaker 2: very logical destination for Bill Belichick. Does twenty eight to
Speaker 2: three come up at all? If Bill is the Falcons
Speaker 2: head coach? Is that brought up at all? In like
Speaker 2: a joking manner? Do you do you start the press
Speaker 2: conference at twenty eight till three?
Speaker 9: Bill, let's talk compensation. How's twenty eight point three a
Speaker 9: year sounds?
Speaker 2: Can you see Belichick in a dome though? It'd be
Speaker 2: just weird. I don't know. But he's going to coach someplace,
Speaker 2: but Chargers of the second favorite there then that's the Commanders,
Speaker 2: and then not the head coach of an NFL team.
Speaker 2: I have to believe that Bill is not going to
Speaker 2: take a year off and that he wants to go
Speaker 2: to a situation where he can't like Brady. Did you
Speaker 2: know Brady wasn't going to a you know, a team
Speaker 2: that was sort of a startup, you know that they
Speaker 2: were a young team. He went to a team that
Speaker 2: was ready to win and ended up winning that Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: That's what Bill wants. But if your Bill, there's no
Speaker 2: reason to you know, play your hand at all or
Speaker 2: even let people know what you're and nobody does that.
Speaker 2: He's not going to do that. But you'd be waiting
Speaker 2: for the Cowboys or the Buffalo Bills if something, or
Speaker 2: the Eagles, if any of those three teams would bowl
Speaker 2: out in their first playoff game. I have to believe
Speaker 2: Bills at least in play How many teams would pass
Speaker 2: up the opportunity to have Bill Belichick be their head coach?
Speaker 2: Not many, I mean obviously Andy Reid. I mean you
Speaker 2: could look at the Rams situation. I mean there's a
Speaker 2: variety of situations. I don't want to be, you know,
Speaker 2: having people lose their jobs or the speculation there, but
Speaker 2: all of these franchises would at least be curious about it.
Speaker 2: I would think the winningest coach of all time, Now,
Speaker 2: would I hire him? No, I wouldn't because as great
Speaker 2: as he's been as a coach, he was not good
Speaker 2: at all as a GM or as really spotty as
Speaker 2: a GM. Is he going to come in and just
Speaker 2: be a coach? Could he come into the Commanders where
Speaker 2: they've already hired you know, the former Golden State Warriors
Speaker 2: owner or GM I get Waite? What am I getting into?
Speaker 2: Do I Carolina? Where I got that owner? Who is
Speaker 2: all he's going to be in my business? Dallas got
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones always there. Like certain situations, I can't see
Speaker 2: Bill in Yes, Don from a.
Speaker 11: Fan base standpoint, if they're the two favorites right now? Anyway,
Speaker 11: does hiring Bill Belichick make a significant difference in the
Speaker 11: excitement of the Chadran Falcon fan which has been known
Speaker 11: not to be a huge fan base.
Speaker 13: If you've taken all the NFL team.
Speaker 2: Of course, what have you had to be excited about
Speaker 2: with any of your coaching hires. Nobody was excited about
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley or Arthur Smith. You get Bill Belichick. Bill
Speaker 2: Belichick is our coach. I don't care how old he is.
Speaker 2: If you're the Falcons, you're like, hell, Yes, Chargers, absolutely,
Speaker 2: But there's certain situations where Bill needs to go in
Speaker 2: and win right away. Maybe in a span of three years.
Speaker 2: How many situations can you get? The Commanders won't be
Speaker 2: in that situation. Carolina won't be in that situation. I
Speaker 2: thought Atlanta was going to be a playoff team this year.
Speaker 2: I thought with those Guild positions, but Desmond Ritter was
Speaker 2: not a starting quarterback there. The Chargers should have been
Speaker 2: a playoff too, And I think that's what you want.
Speaker 2: You want to go into that situation where you go
Speaker 2: that team can win. You just don't realize it. It's
Speaker 2: like when Brady went to Tampa and you go, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, well, okay, that coach is fun, and they
Speaker 2: got some young defensive players, got a decent you know,
Speaker 2: got some good receivers here, Bruce arians the opposite of
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. Okay, going to the NFC. Okay, now, so
Speaker 2: you just are you know, kind of going through the
Speaker 2: checklist in your mind of Okay, I see how this
Speaker 2: can possibly play out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, more, if you're the Falcons or the Chargers, do
Speaker 7: you want instant relevance right away first? Because if you're
Speaker 7: the Falcons, you get Bill Belichick. You're getting at least
Speaker 7: two prime time games just based off the fact that
Speaker 7: Belichick is your coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I want that, But I want him if
Speaker 2: he's going to be the face of my franchise. We're
Speaker 2: still good. He was the face of the Patriots the
Speaker 2: last four years and they weren't good. That's not why
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to a game. I'll go to
Speaker 2: a game because Bill is coaching my team and we
Speaker 2: have a better chance of being better than we were
Speaker 2: the previous year, or we have an advantage, or we
Speaker 2: have a coaching advantage going into every game in the NFL,
Speaker 2: which we never have had. I think that that would
Speaker 2: add a little cachet, a little more cachet if you're
Speaker 2: a Falcons fan. Hell yes, Chargers as well, But I do.
Speaker 2: I think the Pete Carroll or the Chargers thing, whether
Speaker 2: it could happen or not, or it's true, that'd be
Speaker 2: fun like Pete back in LA. But what's the downside here?
Speaker 2: I haven't won anything. Get Pete Carroll there? All right,
Speaker 2: that's an upgrade. Let's see Baker and Bozeman, Hi Bake,
Speaker 2: welcome back.
Speaker 16: What an amazing week, Danny. This is crazy, and I've
Speaker 16: had I've had a concept about Jim Harbaugh all week
Speaker 16: and no one's talking about it, which probably means my
Speaker 16: concept is stupid. But I'm gonna go to room this
Speaker 16: past year because my favorite moment in Monday Night Championship
Speaker 16: Ganderson Washington, Michigan is when John his brother surprised them
Speaker 16: on the sidelines and they give a big hut. You
Speaker 16: have kind of illustrated to all of us how tight
Speaker 16: knit this family is, with father Jack and everything. You know,
Speaker 16: if John took the job in Washington, it's a half
Speaker 16: hour drive to Baltimore, they could they could be the
Speaker 16: same neighborhood brothers. So I think Washington has another thing
Speaker 16: in their favorite potentially in landing Jim Harbor.
Speaker 2: All right, well I thought of that, but Tom Pelserro
Speaker 2: from NFL Network said, you know that that's still more
Speaker 2: of a start up there. New owner. You're going to
Speaker 2: get a quarterback, but they're a little ways away, and
Speaker 2: you're playing in that division. And so you got the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: you got the Eagles. Giants will be better, at least
Speaker 2: they should be, and then you have Washington. I thought
Speaker 2: it would be because of, you know, the proximity with
Speaker 2: Annapolis where he grew up. And I didn't even factor
Speaker 2: in his you know, brother John. But yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 2: have a few. The Raiders is the one that is
Speaker 2: a little bit intriguing and puzzling at the same time
Speaker 2: because Mark Davis and Jim Harbaugh probably you don't see
Speaker 2: them in the same picture, but they did they were
Speaker 2: interested in him before and Jim in Vegas. Like Jim
Speaker 2: doesn't scream out Vegas when you see him, like he's Anton.
Speaker 2: He's the guy who had to go to Vegas and
Speaker 2: didn't want to go. You know, never takes off his
Speaker 2: long sleeves as Khaki's. You know, he just he's gonna
Speaker 2: be there, doesn't want to be there for the bachelor party.
Speaker 2: But I'm here and uh, I can't wait to get home. Yeah, Pauling.
Speaker 12: One thing I love is the nuance around coaches being
Speaker 12: let go. If you you know Belichick is being let go.
Speaker 12: I mean, I know there's an agreement, but his son,
Speaker 12: Steve Belichick is the linebacker's coach of the pace. Does
Speaker 12: he get let go to is that assumed? Like did
Speaker 12: he do is? Did they get rid of the whole
Speaker 12: coaching staff? Does he have the opportunity to stay? Do
Speaker 12: you automatically obviously go with your dad? But I would
Speaker 12: just love the etiquette behind that. When there's a family
Speaker 12: member on the roster.
Speaker 2: He ain't staying on the roster. He's not staying on
Speaker 2: the right unless they go, oh my god, we can't
Speaker 2: afford to lose Steve Belichick. Yeah, I'm gonna guess they
Speaker 2: can afford to lose Steve Belichick. Let's see Alan in California. Hi, Allen,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 5: Good morning?
Speaker 8: And I want to talk about Nick Saban.
Speaker 17: You know, he's done with college.
Speaker 18: But if I was an NFL owner and I needed
Speaker 18: a coach, I call him and.
Speaker 17: Say, hey, what about it?
Speaker 18: Because we don't know if he's interested or not. But boy,
Speaker 18: he'd be great to the NFL. And he a coach
Speaker 18: against or coach with a lot of the players in
Speaker 18: the NFL, so he knows those players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know if he has the energy
Speaker 2: to want to do it. It certainly sounded like that,
Speaker 2: you know, And it's not where you it used to
Speaker 2: be where coaches would take like a year off, they'd
Speaker 2: have a gap year where they'd do TV and then
Speaker 2: they'd be refreshed and go back in. I mean, these
Speaker 2: guys are seventy two years of age. So I don't
Speaker 2: I just don't see that happening. Pete Carroll, I see that.
Speaker 2: I just don't see Nick going I'm not going to
Speaker 2: coach Alabama. I'm going to go into the NFL. I mean,
Speaker 2: if he was going to coach, you would stay at
Speaker 2: Alabama even though you have all of these things that
Speaker 2: led to his retirement, transfer, portal and name, image and likeness.
Speaker 2: Terry in Memphis, Good morning, Terry. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Kerrol?
Speaker 5: What's so?
Speaker 6: Dan?
Speaker 13: How you doing it?
Speaker 8: First time? Long time? Yes? I ain't birthday eighteen years younger.
Speaker 18: Okay, Hey, this is all your fault, Dan.
Speaker 8: Why Cool announced their retirement six months ago?
Speaker 2: That would be me.
Speaker 8: And you know you are leader of all men.
Speaker 2: Until they just take your leadom you're a.
Speaker 8: False if you come out, if you retract your retirement,
Speaker 8: all the world.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, thank you, Terry. So if I
Speaker 2: say that I'm not going to retire in four years,
Speaker 2: I mean Saban could have come out and said, look,
Speaker 2: I'm going to retire in four years if he was
Speaker 2: going to take, you know, use my model of retirement,
Speaker 2: which is not the way to go about it. Because
Speaker 2: I I forgot to mention that I'd signed a new
Speaker 2: contract for four more years. I just announced my retirement
Speaker 2: and then I said in four years. Didn't do it
Speaker 2: the right wayout? That yeah, I am stepping down. As
Speaker 2: of December twenty four to twenty twenty seven, on's the
Speaker 2: new contract that just send runs up Andrew in California. Hi, Andrew,

Speaker 2: He cuts out during the disclaim, Thank you, Andrew. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know what it does.
Speaker 12: I lost all the way, but it caused me.
Speaker 1: Don't give up.
Speaker 13: You have busy spells yellow and here we're on.
Speaker 9: My favorite part about medicine now is that in the
Speaker 9: side effects is always the very thing you're suffering from
Speaker 9: that you're trying to get rid of. If you have, like,
Speaker 9: you know, explosive diarrhea, it'll be like, you know, uh,
Speaker 9: side effects include headaches, nausea, loss of whatever, this and that,
Speaker 9: explosive diarrhea, And it's like, what.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to get rid of.
Speaker 9: How am I supposed to know if it's just a
Speaker 9: side effect of the medicine or if the medicine is not.
Speaker 2: Working at all?
Speaker 13: I got more of it now, ab dominal cramp.
Speaker 12: I do like that Ozepics on oh Oh Oh oh Zemp.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's a good band.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but people make a lot of money on those jingles. Skyrizzy,
Speaker 2: sky Rizzy. I don't know what any of these things do,
Speaker 2: but but you know, I watch and they seem like
Speaker 2: they're having a really good life.
Speaker 13: Like a Zariasis.

Speaker 12: getting into an.
Speaker 9: Airplane to severe plex ariz Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh when they got into the bathtubs, when the uh.
Speaker 9: And all of a sudden, their bathroom turns into a
Speaker 9: forest for some reason.

Speaker 2: we were just painting and our hands touched. Yeah my,
Speaker 2: I know. Hey, when the moment is right, Yes.
Speaker 13: Some get angry about their disease disclisives of back off.
Speaker 17: You see.
Speaker 13: I don't have time.
Speaker 12: I like, I like how to invent the word. It's
Speaker 12: like sky rizzy. It sounds like a word.
Speaker 2: Sky is a word, and they end up with the sky.
Speaker 2: At the very end of the commercial, it's uplifting where
Speaker 2: somebody jumps into the water and then they go up
Speaker 2: into the sky.
Speaker 9: By far, the best commercial for me is the band
Speaker 9: that's playing and they're waiting for the lead singer and
Speaker 9: no one.
Speaker 2: Can find there. That's the humor band she's got.
Speaker 9: Yeah, she's got like alterative colitis.

Speaker 2: Fritzy did a wonderful job with the guest list today
Speaker 2: reacting to Bill Belichick being let go by the Patriots.
Speaker 2: Obviously with Nick Saban, Pete Carroll situation, Mike Rabel and
Speaker 2: we kind of turned away from any other sports news.
Speaker 2: This was it. This is once in a generation that
Speaker 2: something like this happens. It'll never happen again in our
Speaker 2: lifetime where you have coaches of this magnitude in twenty
Speaker 2: four hours, so two of the top five to seven
Speaker 2: coaches of all time, one retiring and one being fired.
Speaker 2: And then you throw in Pete Carroll. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: you know, I go back to when I told you
Speaker 2: guys on the show that I had talked to somebody
Speaker 2: in Seattle the previous week and they said, hey, keep
Speaker 2: an eye on Pete Carroll. And I'm thinking, what's Pete doing.
Speaker 2: It wasn't national news, it wasn't even speculation, you know,
Speaker 2: not even a rumor. And I brought it up on
Speaker 2: the show and I said, hey, you know, I was
Speaker 2: told keep an eye out for Pete Carroll that maybe
Speaker 2: he steps down. He comes out, and he's asked about
Speaker 2: it on Monday or Tuesday and he said, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm planning on coaching. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll out in Seattle. I went, wow, been around,
Speaker 2: been around sports rover four decades. And when you say never,
Speaker 2: I mean you never say never because there's always the
Speaker 2: possibility where you go, wow. I didn't see that one coming.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I was looking back at old, old poll questions for
Speaker 12: the show, and we had a poll question years ago,
Speaker 12: who comes on this show before you retire? And the
Speaker 12: names were Michael Jordan, Bill Belichick, and Commissioner Goodell.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say neither.
Speaker 12: Do we have a better chance at Belichick if he's
Speaker 12: retired or same chance. Now, I'd say a better chance.
Speaker 12: But he's not going to retire. Well, okay, is he
Speaker 12: retired before I retire? Is Bill going to be coaching
Speaker 12: for four more years?
Speaker 2: I'm going to say no, I'm going to say he
Speaker 2: coaches for three years wherever he goes Roger Goodell, even
Speaker 2: if he wants to come on the show, I don't
Speaker 2: want him on the show now, reverse psychology. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I don't want No, you're not gonna say anything.
Speaker 12: You're rescinding the invite.
Speaker 2: I am. Oh, well, I don't know if there was
Speaker 2: an invitation, So Todd, you don't don't don't have to
Speaker 2: reach out to the commissioner the NFL to tell them
Speaker 2: that I'm I'm taking back my invitation for the commissioner
Speaker 2: to join us on the program.
Speaker 13: He said he could do it Monday, December twenty seven seven.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, when Ross Tucker fills in for me, that's
Speaker 2: when he'll join us. Is it just a coincidence that
Speaker 2: the NFL commissioner has been on this show twice and
Speaker 2: I was not hosting those two days.
Speaker 11: It's very blonging, Mike Florio, Yeah, I'll do it, Yeah, talker, Okay,
Speaker 11: what time you name it.
Speaker 13: Come on, what is that about?
Speaker 2: It's okay, that's all right? Yeah, Nick in Texas joining
Speaker 2: US Hi?
Speaker 13: Nick?
Speaker 17: Hey, Hi Dan, but third time calling. But I've got
Speaker 17: this idea, a package deal for the Atlanta Falcons. You
Speaker 17: sign Belichick, Tom Brady, draft a substitute, well his replacement
Speaker 17: quarterback for about three years. You play because Belichick wants
Speaker 17: to wins. But you've got Brady and you've got Belichick
Speaker 17: and the future quarterback of the Falcons.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, bring it on. That's content for me. I'm
Speaker 2: fine with it. I don't think that Tom would be
Speaker 2: interested in doing that, although with those weapons, you know,
Speaker 2: that'd be nice if you're Tom Brady. All right, this
Speaker 2: danged sports history Paulling.
Speaker 12: Nineteen seventy three, owners of America League Baseball teams voted
Speaker 12: to adopt the designated hitter rule on a trial basis.
Speaker 12: Every went away. Two thousand and seven, here's a big
Speaker 12: one season. It was announced that David Beckham has on
Speaker 12: a five year, two hundred and fifty million dollar deal
Speaker 12: with the LA Galaxy seven.
Speaker 2: On this date, nineteen eighty seven, John Elway leads the
Speaker 2: Broncos on a fifteen play ninety eight yard drive that
Speaker 2: ends up with the game winning touchdown to Mark Jackson.
Speaker 2: Broncos go on to defeat Cleveland for the AFC Championship
Speaker 2: twenty three twenty that's driver, Thank you, ton.
Speaker 11: How that Super Bowl, Okay, we were winning ten nine
Speaker 11: at a half time in that game against the john.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and four, Donovan Mitt McNabb fourth and twenty six,
Speaker 2: twenty nine yard pass completion to Freddie Mitchell. Fred x
Speaker 2: Wright said, Fred, they beat Green Bay. They went on
Speaker 2: to win that game in overtime. That, of course was
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl where I interviewed Freddie Mitchell during the
Speaker 2: week and he didn't know the names of the Patriot
Speaker 2: defensive backs. He started giving me numbers and I said,
Speaker 2: do you know their names? And he didn't, And I
Speaker 2: just remember the Patriots loved that that they hadn't you
Speaker 2: know one of those Oh okay, we're going to show you.
Speaker 2: And then Eagle fans. They were Eagle fans who showed
Speaker 2: up at Sports Center that was in Jacksonville. You remember that, Pauline.
Speaker 12: We needed security to get you guys to and from
Speaker 12: the set.
Speaker 2: They thought that I'd set up Freddie Mitchell, which Freddie
Speaker 2: Mitchell set up Freddie Mitchell. He didn't know the names
Speaker 2: of the defensive backs for the Patriots, and I remember
Speaker 2: it was like a bit anything during Super Bowl week,
Speaker 2: you know, fantastasizes. I was like, oh my god, you.
Speaker 12: Were walking off the set and their security and I
Speaker 12: remember MARYL. Hodge goes, I'll take care of this, like
Speaker 12: Merrill was ready to go into a blocking mode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were upset. And I'm like, he didn't know
Speaker 2: their names. Wasn't my fault? I thought, Okay, you got
Speaker 2: to know, you know, Rodney Harrison and Lawyer Malloy and
Speaker 2: ty Law And he didn't. He said, oh yeah, they
Speaker 2: got like thirty and they got the thirty four in
Speaker 2: twenty four. And I go, he didn't know their names.
Speaker 2: M let's see, let's go around the room. What we
Speaker 2: learned in the program? Ton would you learn today?
Speaker 13: I love this observation by Seaton.
Speaker 11: Some medications created to help alleviate a particular element or
Speaker 11: condition may actually have side effects that exacerbate the very
Speaker 11: things that's supposed to treat.
Speaker 9: Love that, Uh seedn O'Connor, What did you learn today?
Speaker 9: Gary Danison and his crew play fast? Yeah, he's on
Speaker 9: the golf course and uh, He said that he has
Speaker 9: called probably one hundred Nick Saban games in his career. Marvin,
Speaker 9: what did you learn today? Nick Saban is retiring, but
Speaker 9: Eli Gold is not.
Speaker 2: No Eli Gold the voice of the Alabama Crinston time
Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty eight, PAULI, what did you learn to do? Nothing?
Speaker 12: Is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like this this o zimpic is a big deal.
Speaker 12: Oh oh yes, there's some a lot of people in
Speaker 12: the media that we know have used it.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you look at him and go, you look good,
Speaker 2: And like Charles Barklay, he could go me, you look good.
Speaker 2: And then they tell you what they and you know,
Speaker 2: because you think they're working out, eating right, Oh oh
Speaker 2: oh yes.
Speaker 11: I just like when they admit what they're doing, because
Speaker 11: I think Oprah had that issue too. You know, I
Speaker 11: was just eating right and cutting down on the snacks
Speaker 11: and then ultimately you have to say, yeah, I'm taking
Speaker 11: that shot.
Speaker 2: Well, the Kardashians do that too, well. They you know, Hey,
Speaker 2: I'm getting up at five in the morning and what
Speaker 2: are you doing taking something and going back to bed
Speaker 2: at five point fifteen? Oh, you're working out. That's how
Speaker 2: you've lost all that way, of course.
Speaker 11: How there's that bariatric appointment, the yen. Yeah, they cut
Speaker 11: help your stomach.
Speaker 12: You know, I like Todd does neither neither work out
Speaker 12: nor use that stuff. Yeah, he keeps it Real's right, Todd?
Speaker 12: What did I learn today? Tom Pellisara would not rule
Speaker 12: out Pete Carroll coaching in the NFL again, even as.
