You played football in college 38 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: as well as high school. You ran track, you wrestled, 39 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: so you're the athlete.

And you know that 49 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 4: it's that that drive is still there now now I 50 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 4: have nine month old daughter, and it shifted, right, You 51 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 4: know that competitiveness is now being the best father I 52 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 4: could possibly be. 53 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: You know, instead, I'm still trying. I'm still trying. 54 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: You're doing a really good job. 55 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: Back, You're doing a really good job. But yes, you 56 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: know a question I've never asked you before we get 57 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: into the meeting, potatoes, what would make you want to 58 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: come out and play football or wrestle and get hurt 59 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: and work and sweat and all that stuff. 60 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: I never had that desire. 61 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 5: You know. 62 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: I went to the games. I wrote about them. I 63 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: send stories into newspapers. 64 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 6: You know. 65 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: I went to the guy to the gym class in 66 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: high school, and I went to the basketball coach. I said, 67 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: I'll do your statistics. I'll travel with you. I'll call 68 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: in the schools after the games if you get me 69 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: out of gym class. I didn't want to do that. 70 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: I didn't want to go in the parallel bars and 71 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: the ropes. I figured to kill myself really and that's 72 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: what I did, So I didn't have that competitiveness. I 73 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: don't think, you know, why would you want to do 74 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: that and bust your button? Go to practice for two 75 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: hours after school every single day. I think. 76 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 4: I think there's two types of people, right, I mean, 77 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 4: there's their numbers people. 78 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: So maybe you're a numbers guy. 79 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: Do you like tracking the numbers, writing down the numbers 80 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: and then writing the stories. But I was like getting 81 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: down and dirty and into it. You know. I always 82 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 4: loved being physical, love being active, and I always just 83 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: love the game aspect, the team sport aspect too. Uh 84 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: So that's what I loved about football, But then I 85 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 4: love the individual sports. Also, wrestling was my most favorite 86 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: sport really, yeah, it really was. It really was because 87 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: it was just nothing but you and the guy in 88 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 4: front of you matching up. Yeah, one on one match up, 89 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: and then you know your only job is just to 90 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: pin them and put him on his back, and just 91 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 4: that challenge. 92 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: Trying to make weight. I mean, that's the craziest thing 93 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: in the world. Why would you want to make weight? 94 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: Terrible? It's absolutely terrible. Oh yeah, no, it's terrible. 95 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: You're skipping meals you don't eat, you know, Friday or Saturday. Uh, 96 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: but it's so much fun. It's all worth it at 97 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: the very end, it really is. It's all worth it 98 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: at the very end. 99 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: I would do it all over again. 100 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 4: I want to change a thing. The only thing I 101 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: would change though. In high school I maybe would have 102 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 4: golfed golf. Yeah, I'm terrible golfer. I'm a terrible golfer now, 103 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: but maybe I should have golf the high school. 104 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: It was easy. That's been a lot of fun. Let's 105 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: talk about this. Last Sunday, I go off the air 106 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: with Bucky. We get the news that Penn Stay fired 107 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: their football coach, James Franklin. He gets a copy of 108 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: the home game right now, all right, I was shocked 109 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: to an extent because I get it. But three weeks 110 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: prior to that, penns Day was number two in the country. 111 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: Last year they made the national semi finals. All right, 112 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: I'm scratching my head. And then they have to pay 113 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: a sixty nine million dollar buyout. So on the average, 114 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 2: this guy, James Franklin is making twenty two thousand dollars 115 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: a day. 116 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: A day. 117 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: He'll be doing that for six years. All right, Now 118 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: to me firing a coach in the middle of the season, 119 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: and there's some reasons why they say he got fired, 120 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: But fighting a coach in the middle of the season 121 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: and the college level, to me is like when you 122 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: go to school and your teacher's absent, you have the 123 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: substitute teacher, and when he turns his back, you're throwing 124 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: erasers at his head. 125 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: I mean, it's chaos. I would think it's chaos when 126 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 3: you fire a coach. 127 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: Really, yeah, because half the squad saying it wasn't right, 128 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: half the squad's cheer. I mean, so it's not a 129 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: good situation, right. How surprised were you when Penn State 130 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: gave the acts to James Franklin. 131 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 4: You know, I think at the end of the day, here, Dad, 132 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 4: it's ultimately the coach's fault, right, The coach's job. Franklin's 133 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 4: job was to prepare his team for those three games 134 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 4: and those three losses Oregon, Ucla, Northwestern they lost those games, 135 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 4: and ultimately it was on his back to the prayer 136 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: his team, and he didn't prepare his team. And I 137 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 4: think it was a culmination of a couple things, Dad, 138 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 4: those three losses, the drop in the ap polls, and 139 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: I think there was controversy even within the organization. I 140 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 4: don't even think they liked the way his media reaction 141 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 4: was to those three losses, and he said, well, yes, 142 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 4: it was my phills on my back. We got a 143 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: better prepared I think they want more meat and potato answers. 144 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 4: That's the reason why they're losing to teams like Northwestern 145 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: by two points. 146 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: Well, look, I would say this Albert bridfrom Sports Illustrated 147 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: side dot com he had some reasons why James Franklin 148 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: at the Acts. Okay, obviously that had a three game 149 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: losing streak. They had Oregon, they had organ they lost 150 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: to that game. Okay, they lost the previous Wuess, UCLA, Northwestern. 151 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: Are you kidding? I mean, come on, that's that's a bleep. 152 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's bad. Okay, couldn't win the big games. 153 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: They were four and twenty win against top ten teams 154 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: and the expectations. 155 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 3: That's the problem. Fans go crazy. 156 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: And I think fans have a lot to say believe 157 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: it or not, because if the team doesn't win, what 158 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: do they do? They cancel their subscription for tickets. So 159 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: I think that's a problem right there. But They also 160 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: said that he had some of a personality that was 161 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: kind of. 162 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 3: He'd rubbed you the wrong way. 163 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 4: You know. 164 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: They didn't say it back then, but they're saying and 165 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: now after he got fired, and I look on the 166 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: sidelines and I see coaches that really are into it, 167 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 2: that have that motivation that kind of trickles down to 168 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: the team and it's just exciting. And the team was 169 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: to go through a brick wall for these guys. I 170 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: didn't see that with James Franklin. I never did. 171 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, now we have to remember that, like twelve years ago, 172 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: where was Penn State. Twelve years ago, they were in 173 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: the middle of the scandal, They had this, they had 174 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 4: the things, they couldn't go to ball games. 175 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: Dad. 176 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: They got Franklin in and he turned the season, or 177 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 4: the entire organization around, the entire football team around. In 178 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 4: two years they won the Big the Big Ten championship. 179 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: So I think I think it was a little premature 180 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: that they got rid of Franklin. 181 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: And I hate it when organizations fire coaches midseason. 182 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 4: I agree, because it does absolutely nothing for the team 183 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: and for the organization the rest of the year. They 184 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: should have kept Franklin for the rest of the year 185 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 4: and see if he could have turned the team around, 186 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: turned the ship around, and at least tried to make 187 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 4: the team at least Bowl eligible. 188 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: Maybe, But more than that, you know, it creates chaos 189 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: because most of those kids came to that school not 190 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: so much for academics, but they came because they wanted 191 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: to play for James Franklin. Now it puts the question 192 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: walk to many people, including the players are on the squad, 193 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: do I want to stay here? They got the portal, 194 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: They could get into the portal and get out of there, 195 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: So I think it causes chaos, although with the portal, 196 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: roster has changed anyway. But Penn State yesterday after they 197 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: fired for Rankland, did make a difference with Terry Smith, 198 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: their interim coach. He blew a fourth quarter leader against Iowa. 199 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: They was twenty five to twenty four. So Penn State 200 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: now was three and four but alling four in the 201 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Big Ten. And I said this several weeks ago, I 202 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: think to prepare to do a season in college football, 203 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: you have to play some meat early on. Yeah, and 204 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: when I saw their schedule and they played Villanova, really 205 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: I'm not saying, you know, the next snap I taken 206 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: college and me, my first I could play for Villanova. 207 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: Really yeah, I mean you've seen I'm not that bad. 208 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: I got good hands. 209 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 4: The first three games of their season wasn't really meat 210 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 4: and potato games. They played Villanova, they played Nevada, I 211 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: think the first game, and there were blowout wins, and 212 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: it's kind of solidified. Sure, maybe they really are the 213 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 4: number two team in the country at the beginning. 214 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: Of the year. 215 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: But to your point, they didn't really play any teams 216 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 4: with meat and potatoes, any real competition like an Oregon. 217 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: And you know when when push came to shows, they 218 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 4: felt they faltered. And it just seems that Franklin didn't 219 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 4: really prepare his team for those games. 220 00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: Right. 221 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: And we talk about James Franklin on the sidelines, I 222 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: think you say a team takes after his coach. I 223 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: think that he was like lacka days ago on the sidelines. 224 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: He had that the look when a deer you know, 225 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: you're looking at deer in the eyes. I mean, he 226 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: had that look on the sidelines and the quiet opposite 227 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 2: one hundred eighty degrees. Let's look at coach Kurt Signetti 228 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: and Indiana. You look at Indiana right now, I would 229 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: have to say there's no one on that Indiana roster 230 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: that stands out to say, this guy's a tremendous player. 231 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: But as a unit, they played tremendous. They played tremendous defense. 232 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: Where they did to Oregon in Eugene, Oregon two weeks 233 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: ago was unbelievable. Really, Indiana, right now they give him 234 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 2: an eight year contract for ninety three million dollars. I'm 235 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: not gonna go with the money route because if their 236 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: money is disgusting. And by the way, as an aside 237 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: to that, I understand TV plays a lot of the freight. 238 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: I understand that. But don't you think that with these 239 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: salaries the coaches aregainting. Don't you think that the admissions 240 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: are going to be a lot higher for students to 241 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: go to these schools. 242 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: Don't you think I think the emissions will be hired 243 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: going to the schools. But I think they got him 244 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: eight years for ninety three million just so they can 245 00:09:59,720 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: keep on. 246 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: No, they don't want him going anywhere else. 247 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 4: They don't because he was a contender to go to 248 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 4: Penn State and it made me replace Franklin, right, But 249 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 4: Indiana doesn't want him to go because of what he's 250 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: been doing what he did for the program. His record 251 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: last year and certainly his record going into this year, 252 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 4: and being teams like oar Agon. They're a fire team, 253 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 4: and he's one of those coaches kind of like a 254 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 4: Dan Campbell dad. 255 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: You know, he. 256 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 4: Fires up to doubt and these kids want to go 257 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 4: through a brick wall for this guy. 258 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, he came to Indiana, brought a lot 259 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: of his players from his previous schools that James Madison 260 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: I believe it was, and before that, Tom Allen was 261 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: the coach in Indiana for three years. He was not 262 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: in twenty seven. Indiana was always known as a basketball school. 263 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: They're a football school now. And I would say this, 264 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: and the landscape of college football right now, I think 265 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: it's Ohio State, and after that it's somewhat open, and 266 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: I think Indiana is right there. The shame of it 267 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: is that Indiana's in the same conference as Ohio State. 268 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: Although like I would say, Ohio State is a possibility 269 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: to win a national title. Don't think they will because 270 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 2: it's Ohio State right now, and after that or go 271 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: maybe Miami of Florida, and after that, it's just the 272 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: rest of the field. I mean, honestly, with the eighteen 273 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: teams in the Big Ten right now, I don't see 274 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: the Big Ten maybe getting four teams in the playoffs. 275 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 4: I really don't see that now. I might have to 276 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 4: agree with you maybe three teams. But talked about Miami. 277 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: They lost to. 278 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 4: Louis Louisville the other week, So I love This is 279 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 4: what I love about college football. Every week is so 280 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 4: different from the previous week, and everyone has a prediction. 281 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 4: All you know, Miami is going to be a contender 282 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: for the national title, and then it goes and loses 283 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 4: to Louisville right at home, and it's just changes the dynamic, 284 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 4: changes the storyline for everything else. 285 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. But the biggest story yesterday and 286 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: you're talking about losing, what about Brian Kelly at LSU. 287 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm not going to say, how do 288 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: you lose to Vanderbilt? Because Vanderbilt was favored in that game? 289 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: All right, Vanderbilt beats him yesterday thirty one to twenty four. 290 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: And right now, I think with that loss LS he 291 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 2: was five and two, two and two in the SEC, 292 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: and I think there are chances of postseason play are 293 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: going down the crapper right now. But Brian Kelly right now, 294 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 2: the story right now nationally is like Brian Kelly and 295 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: what is his buyout clause? And no one's giving any 296 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: props to Vanderbilt. I mean, what that school has done 297 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: is somewhat amazing. It really is. 298 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 3: No it is. 299 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: And I say I'd say this every week. Don't ever 300 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 4: put an SEC school down. No matter what the school is, 301 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: the school is in the Southeastern Conference. That's the strongest 302 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 4: conference in my opinion, in college more it's big ten. 303 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 2: Now, well, I think it's a big time. 304 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: I still say the SEC is probably the strongest conference. 305 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: Okay, it might be the most competitive, but it's not 306 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: the strongest. And there's a difference I think. 307 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, fine, the most competitive. 308 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: But regardless whatever team you're playing in the SEC, they're 309 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: going to show up that week for a great game. 310 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter if you're Florida, if you're Vanderbilt, 311 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: or if you're Alabama. 312 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: That team's gonna show up and play. 313 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 4: And a coach like Brian Kelly, you have to prepare 314 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 4: your team no matter who's on the other side of 315 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 4: the field. And maybe he just didn't prepare this team 316 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 4: for a strong Vanda Bild team. 317 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: I think there comes a time and everybody's life, no 318 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: matter what job you do, you get somewhat burnt out. 319 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: You go through the motions and you're not hungry anymore. 320 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: You know, you get up in the morning, you just 321 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: go through the motions. Said, Look, Clark Lee, the coach 322 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt, right now, he's got to be the happiest 323 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: guy in the world after Indiana signs Kurt Signety to 324 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: that big contract. Because Vanderbilt right now, they're going to 325 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: get their alums and the alumni people, the athletic department'rena 326 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: get together this. 327 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 3: Look, we got to keep this guy. We got to 328 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: keep them over here. 329 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: Yesterday against LSU, Vanderbilt had the offensive wall thirteen minutes 330 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 2: more than LSU. And again, if you were to tell 331 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: me that LSU's gonna lose to Vanderbilt, I mean a 332 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: lot of people probably lost money in that game too, 333 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: although Vandy was the favorite. 334 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 4: Right and you're talking about Brian Kelly being on a 335 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 4: hot seat. I said earlier this year that this is 336 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 4: the year that Brian Kelly has to do so no 337 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 4: to LSU. And LSU has a tradition of winning and 338 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 4: always has had a tradition of winning. Now he's been 339 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 4: with the program coming up to four years now, dad 340 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 4: And at the beginning of the year, they interviewed him 341 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: and said, Brian, what are you thinking about this year 342 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 4: or what can you project for us? And this is 343 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 4: he said that this was the team that was going to, 344 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 4: you know, fulfill the LSU football right. He's this is 345 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 4: the team that he's felt the most confident with. The 346 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: culture that he's built around is finally there. He went 347 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 4: into the portal heavy and recruited players. So ultimately Brian 348 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 4: Kelly thinks that this is the year for LSU. But 349 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: and you're losing to teams like Vanderbilt like this and 350 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 4: not not taking control of the controllables, it's not looking 351 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: good for him. Brian Kelly is on the hot seat, 352 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: no doubt, and he's been on the hot seat for 353 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 4: maybe the past two. 354 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: Or three years. 355 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: And I'll say this, the fact that James Franklin got fired, 356 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: it's gonna wake up a lot of athletic directors had 357 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: alumni as well, and they're gonna say, hey, you know, 358 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: Franklin's gone. They're paying him out sixty sixty nine million dollars. 359 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: I mean Brian Kelly's got to be looking over his 360 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: shoulder and said, look, you know what happened to him. 361 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: It could happen to me. 362 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 4: It could happen to anybody, no doubt. I mean, right 363 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: after Franklin, it was you know, the coach for Virginia, 364 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 4: Virginia Tech. Well, they're talking about Florida right right, They're 365 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: talking about Wisconsin with Lou Fickle. I mean, all these 366 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 4: coaches are now starting to come out of the woodwork Dad, 367 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 4: and their name is kind of on the chopping blocking. 368 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 3: It's all about expectations, it really is. 369 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: That's what it is. I mean, and we've seen that. 370 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: But I've learned something over the years. I mean, believe 371 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: it or not, I did. I've learned something. Everybody says 372 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: that it's about the portal, it's about buying players. I'm 373 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: not so certain it's like that. 374 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: I really am. 375 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: I think it's about the coaching. I think coaching makes 376 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: a big difference. But look at the teams that are successful. 377 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: They have coaches that are in your face, coaches that 378 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: are aggressive, coaches that tell players to do this. I mean, 379 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: they respect them. And I see that in the National 380 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: Football League, the teams that are really doing well. Have 381 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: coaches that turn programs right as the coach players. 382 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 3: That are same. 383 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: I don't think there's much of a difference. And you 384 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: could tell me this though. I don't think on the 385 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: college level. You know, yes, there's a difference between the 386 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: subdivision and college and the big conferences. There's a difference 387 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: in plays, size, hide, speed, whatever it may be. But 388 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: I don't think in the National Football League not that 389 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: much of a difference between players and teeth the team. 390 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: If you're good enough to play in the NFL, you're 391 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: good enough to play in the NFL. And we've seen 392 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: players going from one team to another and all of 393 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: a sudden they blossom because the coach that they have. 394 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: I believe that now. I believe that too. I think 395 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: I mean the. 396 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: Coaches are there to build culture for the team, No doubt, 397 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 4: coaches are also there to teach the x's and o's. 398 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: You can have a number one quarterback, a star quarterback 399 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: who throws at sixty yards fifty yards, however it may be. 400 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 4: But if he doesn't have the fundamentals to be a 401 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: good quarterback, he's a bad quarterback, no matter how fast, 402 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 4: no matter how far he throws the ball. He has 403 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 4: to have a coach behind him that can develop him. 404 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: So the coaches are important, but certainly the athletes too 405 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 4: are important. That so I think the portal is important 406 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 4: and the talent of the players are important as well. 407 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: That okay, So it's about having the checkbook to sign 408 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: the players. But also you have to be small enough 409 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: to say, can this player play at our level? If 410 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: you're going a level down to bring him in there, 411 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: and can I coach him? 412 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: Right? 413 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: Can you coach him? And I think that's a difficult situation. No, 414 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: the fans lose out on that because I used to 415 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: love to see a kid develop as a freshman and 416 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: see what he's going to be as a senior. 417 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: That doesn't happen anymore much. It doesn't, Okay. 418 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: I told about another coach that I think is getting 419 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 2: a bed rap because it doesn't happen overnight. I'm talking 420 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 2: about Bill Belichick and North Carolina. They lost the cal 421 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: and it was a heartbreak, it really was. And right 422 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: now they're two and four. They lost Friday night, and 423 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: he's getting some heat, but he's getting heat on ridiculous things. 424 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: He's getting heat and stories about Jordan Hudson, his girlfriend 425 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: of what he's like twenty seven, twenty eight years older 426 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: than on the hot mic. It's crazy, is that what 427 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 2: people want to see? Is that what people want to read? 428 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just hot topic, it's just clickbait. 429 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 7: Dad. 430 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 3: If you know what clickbait is, it's it's just this. 431 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 2: What does that mean? 432 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 3: Clickbait? Wild story? Well will come on what clickbait? 433 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 5: No? 434 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: I think it's it's just that, and it's just. 435 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: A way for people to get to get a click 436 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 4: in and look at the views, you know, and you 437 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 4: know what's going on over there with with Bill Pelichuck. 438 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 4: I think it's it's just another classic example of putting 439 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 4: all your eggs in one basket, and in this case 440 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 4: the hands of the great mind of producing coach. They 441 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 4: expect him to make magic over there at North Carolina. 442 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: Uh. 443 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: And it's a joke. 444 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 4: I think it's an absolute joke. We're seeing the same 445 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: thing with the Titans and cam Ward. But you know, 446 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: that's a different topic. What I'm saying that is that 447 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: I hate it when when people and programs think that 448 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 4: they can hire on this one individual and they can 449 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 4: turn the tides of this entire program within less than 450 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 4: six months. India but Indiana did it, doesn't it. That's 451 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: that's a one off situation. We call that an outlier 452 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 4: in the world. The statistics, Dad, In a normal world, 453 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 4: it takes two to three years to build a fundamental program, 454 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 4: to build with culture, to build with I agree with you. 455 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 4: And the fact that they think that happens overnight is complete. 456 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 4: It's a complete joke, Dad. 457 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: But the fans think it's gonna happen overnight. The day 458 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: they hired Bill Belichick, they said, here we go, We're 459 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: gonna win. 460 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 7: And I was. 461 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 3: I bought in. 462 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: I thought they'd win seven or eight games this year. 463 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna happen right now. And now 464 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 2: he's got to defend himself about his exit strategy. I mean, 465 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 2: he's saying it's false, he's not gonna leave. I don't 466 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: think he's gonna leave. I think he's he wants to 467 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: really finish the job over there and get it done 468 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 2: and turn it around again. I think there's a lot 469 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: of media people that are taking pot shots at Bill 470 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: Belichick because the way Bill Belichick treated the media when 471 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: he was in the National Football League coach of the 472 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: PAIP Don't you think. 473 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think that, but you know, he just 474 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: has so much light on him right now. It's tough. 475 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 4: I'm sure it's tough for him. But you know, Bill, 476 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 4: he entered the program at the beginning of the year 477 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 4: with so much media hype already. But there's seventy new 478 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 4: players in the transfer portal that he was able to 479 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 4: pick up. Not everybody wanted to see, you know, everyone 480 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 4: wanted to see the team turn around immediately to a 481 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 4: championship caliber team. But I just don't think that's simply 482 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: a possible, Dad, And I think what he needs to 483 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: do is just keep his head down and just keep 484 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 4: on coaching the way that he's going to be coaching, 485 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 4: you know, try to produce a win. There's a lot 486 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: of things that I think it is a little bit 487 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 4: out of control. The fumbles on the field, like the 488 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 4: other game, right you can't you have to coach against that. 489 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 2: But what is he going to do. 490 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: He's not the player out there on the field, you know, 491 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 3: throwing the ball or fumbling the ball. I'm concerned about this. 492 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: People talk about the term legacy, they say, well, what's 493 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick's legacy gonna be? Wait a second, I'm gonna 494 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: tell you right now, you know, for those people who 495 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: talk about legacy, I'll tell you what it is. 496 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 3: He's the greatest coach ever to coach in the National 497 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 3: FOOTBA League. 498 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: That's his legacy, all right, No, I absolutely believe it 499 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: at that. We'll leave it at that. Okay, he's Alex Firman. 500 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Furman.

Yesterday Texas Tech lost. They lost 546 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 2: to Arizona State twenty six, twenty two. However, this little 547 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: controversy there was Texas Tech they say could face a 548 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 2: six figure fine and in game penalty from the Big 549 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 2: Twelve Conference if fans keep on tossing tortillas on the 550 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: on the field. 551 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: Have you heard about that tortilla? What is that tortilla tossing? 552 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I actually had to do some research into this one, Dad, 553 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 4: and it seems to be a tradition over there at 554 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 4: Texas Texa throw tortilla shells onto the field. 555 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 3: Now get this last. 556 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 4: Both Texas Tech and Kansas where fire after Texas wins 557 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 4: over the Jayhawks. But even before the twenty five Seeds 558 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 4: and members of the Big Twelve Conference did a fifteen 559 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 4: to one vote to strengthen the conference's policy on throwing 560 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 4: objects onto the field. Now, this new policy states that 561 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 4: teams receives a warning for the first two violations of 562 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: throwing stuff onto the field, and then after that. 563 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: It's fifteen yard personal penalties after that. 564 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: And I guess if you ever done that, throw totilla? 565 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: Oh gosh, no, okay, now, why would I have a 566 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 4: tortilla out of the football team. 567 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: But it's a lot better than what they did in 568 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: the WNBA, what they were throwing on the court. I 569 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: don't want to go down that road. 570 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: But you know, this isn't the first time, Dad, that 571 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 4: we know, we've seen conferences kind of penalized schools for 572 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 4: what the fans doing, or even during or after the game. 573 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 4: You have to remember, I think it was last year 574 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 4: in the SEC Conference when Vanderbilt beat Arkansas and they 575 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 4: ripped down the goal post and maybe Alabama they ripped 576 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: down the goal post and they carried it through the 577 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: streets of Nashville and dumped it in the river, right, 578 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 4: you know, So it's it's. 579 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: Not the first time we're seeing students do these crazy things. 580 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: Alcohol does strange things. Oh yeah, did you even know that? 581 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:09,479 Speaker 7: All? 582 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 2: Right, let's talk about a coach right now who knew 583 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: he could predict the future. I'll talk about Mike tom And, 584 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: the coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He knew, I guess 585 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: what the outcome was going to be. Thursday night, his 586 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: game against the Cincinnti Bengals in Cincinnati, Gouse. Earlier in 587 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: the week, he was questioning why the Cleveland Browns would 588 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: trade their quarterback who started an opening day Joe Flacco, 589 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: to the Cincinnti Bengals. Coach tell us about that a 590 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: little bit old. 591 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 6: Mike, you know, to be honest, it was shocking to me. 592 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 6: Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me or us, 593 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 6: because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a 594 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 6: quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening 595 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 6: day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area. 596 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 6: But that's just my personal feeling. 597 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 2: He knew. 598 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: I guess he knew. 599 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: I guess he was afraid of face Joe Flacco. I 600 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: mean there was, you know, Mike Tomlin there and Flacco 601 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 2: was super. Bengals win the game thirty three thirty one 602 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 2: and Flacco was thirty one for forty seven, three hundred 603 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: and forty two yards to three touchdowns. I mean, here's 604 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: a guy that basically came into town a week ago Tuesday, 605 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 2: and like he's playing like he's been there for years. 606 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: It's great, but he's got eighteen years under his belt. Yeah, 607 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 2: he does have eighteen years underneath his belt, and I 608 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: kind of forgot that. I mean, he's a Super Bowl 609 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 2: winning quarterback MVP. 610 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 4: But it's kind of funny that, you know, with Mike Tomlin, 611 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 4: maybe he was just asked about it, but why would 612 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 4: he care? Why would he care what the what the 613 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 4: Browns are doing. He just needs to be focusing on 614 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 4: the Steelers and not listen to the other noise that's 615 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 4: going around. And maybe he has his own thoughts. 616 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 2: Who the heck cares? 617 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 7: Dad? 618 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 3: Who the heck cares? I agree with you, But in 619 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 3: his way. 620 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 4: When he lost Thursday night against the quarterback that he 621 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 4: was talking some smack about. 622 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: When I didn't go to the game, but I watched 623 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: it on TV and Mike tom when they had the 624 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 2: camera on and he looked like he was just staring 625 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 2: at the space. I mean, you look shell shocked. He did, 626 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: and I would be shell shocked too, But the way 627 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: that they ran over him. And of course, obviously what 628 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase did it was amazing, but we'll get to 629 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 2: that in a second. But strange, not so much what 630 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: he said, the fact that Mike Tomlin never ever comments 631 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: about opposing teams never. So it was a first it 632 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 2: was a first film. But what about Jamar Chase? Could 633 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: you say right now that he might be the best 634 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: receiver in the National Football League? Sixteen passes for one 635 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: sixty one he was, he was the game. 636 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 3: He broke that back. 637 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 4: He's certainly up there, and he's carrying the weight of 638 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 4: the team and certainly the weight of the team during 639 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 4: that win on Thursday night. Sixteen passes for one hundred 640 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 4: and sixty sixty one yards. 641 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: Dad, I love it. 642 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 4: And it looked like it seemed like Joe Flacco and 643 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 4: Jamar and Chase, Uh, they were just like playing backyard football, right. 644 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 4: It seems so effortless. And Flacco has been on the 645 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 4: team for only ten days. 646 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 3: That's amazing. 647 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Yeah, And people question, why would 648 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals get Joe Flacco when you know there's 649 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 2: other quarterbacks out there, Jameis Winston. Perhaps I mean, whatever 650 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 2: it may be, they knew, they knew that a he went, 651 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: he knew the division, be the experience he had and 652 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: see a guy that started opening day for Cleveland. But 653 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 2: more than that, two years ago, Cleveland got him off 654 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: the couch and he came right in and played. He 655 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: did the same thing here in Cincinnati. But you know what, 656 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 2: there's a story to be told, and you might not 657 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: know that because you're not old enough. Back in nineteen 658 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: seventy two, all right, nineteen seventy two, or Olmarle quarterback 659 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: replaced quarterback Bob Greasy for the Miami Dolphins. Who's back 660 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 2: on October the fifteenth, nineteen seventy two. That was in 661 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: the fifth game of the season against the San Diego Chargers, 662 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: if the Greasy suffered a broken leg. And this is 663 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 2: what Romarle did for that Dolphin team. Omar was thirty 664 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: eight years of the age at the time, so Flacco's 665 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: forty okay. He took over, led the Dolphins to victory 666 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: in their final eleven regular season games and their first 667 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 2: two playoff games, and it gave the Miami Dolphins that 668 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 2: perfect season in nineteen seventy two. He preserved that perfect season. 669 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: So maybe Joe Flacco could lead just get them competitive 670 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: enough to get into the playoffs. And maybe when Joe 671 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: Burrow could come back in December, and who knows, what 672 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: could happened. Bengals could be dangerous, who could Who knows? 673 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 2: But I think I think we're gonna need a little 674 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: bit more lucked than that. 675 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm still worried about Baltimore and the Ravens when 676 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 4: comes back, When when Lamar comes back, They're they're going 677 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 4: to come in and I think the next couple of games, Dad, 678 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 4: They're gonna have a really good chance of taking ownership 679 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 4: of those games and getting themselves back into the talk 680 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 4: of the visional title. I think I think the Ravens 681 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 4: are still a contender, even I agree where whether at 682 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 4: right now. But they're banged up though, But they're banged up. 683 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: But after this bye week, their healthy players are going 684 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: to be coming back. Lamar's gonna be coming back. They're 685 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 4: going to be facing some blow average teams, if you will, 686 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 4: and I think that that's what that's when the tide's 687 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 4: going to turn for them. 688 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: I want to go behind the curtain a little bit 689 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati Bengal team in the game what happened 690 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 2: on Thursday night. Number one, Zach Taylor right now should 691 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: take Joe Flacco and like put him in a cage 692 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 2: and let know no one near him. I mean, Joe 693 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: Flacco is gonna save Zach Taylor's job because the rumors 694 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: had it that Zach Taylor not have gotten fired, but 695 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: he would have got close to it. Yeah, we know, 696 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: maybe one foot in the grave. Four game losing Street 697 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 2: didn't make the playoffs the last two years. I mean, 698 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: there were some questions out there and now all of 699 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 2: a sudden that took a lot of heat off them. 700 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: That's number one. That's one story. The second story is 701 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: Jake Browning. Okay, I saw him on the bench right 702 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: next to Joe Burrow was there, and of course Joe Flacco. 703 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: This was a contract year for Browning. He could have 704 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: had it made. He comes in there and plays like 705 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: he did two years ago. He gets a big fat contract, 706 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: maybe the starting quarterback next year. He's finished, don't you think? 707 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: But right now, who's going to pick him up? The 708 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: only the only way he'll play is if Joe Flacco 709 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: does faulters or gets hurt. 710 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: That's it. 711 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly I think this this gives reason for the 712 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 4: Cincinni Bengals to kind of scratch their head about Browning 713 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 4: and just are they going to keep him for the 714 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 4: for the future, and what they're going. 715 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: To do about about that q the QB number two spot. 716 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 4: Certainly, he didn't do himself any favor verse when he 717 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 4: was running the ship and running the offense. But who 718 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 4: did to him? He said, it's really not all on 719 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: one guy. I kind of agree with that, you know, 720 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 4: I kind of agree with that. We don't have the 721 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 4: strongest offensive line. Let's be honest here. Thursday he was 722 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: only sack twice, But we don't have a very strong 723 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 4: offensive line. Our running game didn't develop until last Thursday's 724 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 4: game either. But that's beside the point. But it's Jake 725 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 4: Browning throwing those interceptions, no doubt. You know, it's Jake 726 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 4: Browning overthrowing or taking those sacks, you know, or throwing 727 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 4: it into the dirt. Right, It's no one else other 728 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 4: than Jake Browning. He's kind of he's too, but he 729 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 4: took ownership. He said it was on him, he did, 730 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 4: but then he started blaming the others. You know, he's saying, well, 731 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 4: it's not all on me. 732 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: I gave a lot of credit because offense when they 733 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: brought him flakoh, and he got finished. He met with 734 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: the media, where the other players are cowards. I don't 735 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: talk to him, they run. He faced the media. I 736 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: give him credit for that. I give him credit for that. 737 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 3: All right, Fine, So I still don't have a lot 738 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: of finis with this team. I really don't like. 739 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: Did Jets play next week in Cincinnati? The Bengals should 740 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: win that game. You just don't know, you know what 741 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 2: you don't. 742 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 4: Know, And that's the kind of thing about being a 743 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals fan. You honestly you never know what team 744 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 4: is going to show up on that day. I think 745 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 4: with this win in primetime against the Steelers, a divisional win, 746 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 4: I think it's going to give them a little bit 747 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 4: of momentum, a little bit of win in their sales, 748 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 4: if you will, and hopefully, uh, you know, kind of 749 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 4: shows the team the potential that they can't be. They 750 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 4: can be a very solid, formative team. They just have 751 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 4: to play as a unit and just put all their 752 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 4: ducts in and get or get the ball in Jamar 753 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 4: Chase's hands. You're right, you know, but they they can 754 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 4: play very well, uh, they just have to They just 755 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 4: have to be consistently about it, you know. And that's 756 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 4: that's the thing about the Bengals. 757 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: We're talking hot seats right now. I mean, obviously you're 758 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: on one. That's okay, But uh, Brian Kelly, we talked about, 759 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: we talked that about maybe Mike McDaniel, coach of the 760 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: dolphins's in the hot seat. What about the coach of 761 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: the Arizona the Cardinals that we got to, Jonathan Gannon. 762 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: Cardinals are hosting the Packers today. Packers are three one 763 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: to one and the Cardinals are two and four. But 764 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 2: this this clown, Jonathan Gannon, I mean, he went four 765 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 2: and thirteen, four and thirteen and twenty twenty three, eight 766 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: and nine last year. He had a comment this week. 767 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: This really didn't help. It came Wednesday. He was asked 768 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: during this press conference about learning to control his emotions 769 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 2: as a coach, and they replied two thousand and seven, 770 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: when our quarterback went to jail. He was talking about 771 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: Michael Vick. I mean, why would you bring that up. 772 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: I mean, these people say things. I mean, you know, 773 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 2: I understand you got ten million things going on in 774 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: your head. I get that you're worried. You're worried about 775 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: your job. Calm down, he's feeling the heat. He's got 776 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 2: to be feeling the heat. He has to be. Come on. 777 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I listened to that that and it made no 778 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 4: sense to me, and I don't think it made any 779 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 4: other sense to any person in that conference room. I mean, 780 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 4: going to the Cardinals, it's a poor start to the 781 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 4: twenty five season, after promising to and no start. They've 782 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 4: dropped the last four straight games, right, giving them a 783 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 4: two to four record now and they're at the bottom 784 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 4: of the NFC West right now. 785 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: He's gone. 786 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 4: The team has a failure to close out games. Arizona 787 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 4: became in the first team in NFL history to lose 788 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 4: three straight games on walk off scores. 789 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: Dad, that's amazing. 790 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,959 Speaker 4: That's never happened for And there's so much controversy now 791 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 4: within the Cardinal organization, the sideline controversy. He was fined 792 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 4: one hundred thousand dollars by the team for making contact 793 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 4: with the running backs. 794 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: He should have suspending. 795 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: He should have been suspended, right, you know, yes, Sissy, 796 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: I mean what last week? 797 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 3: What do you think about it? I thought maybe the 798 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 3: player should sue the coach. He was attacked. He headed 799 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: the coach had him right. 800 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's as a player, you kind of stop 801 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 4: and think, you know, it's tough to play for. 802 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: A coach like that. That no doubt about that, no doubt. 803 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 2: Kind of like working with you. 804 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 3: Tough, tough all right. 805 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, with the iHeart Radio Web, you 806 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 2: cold stream us wherever you happen to be catches in 807 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 2: oli O Fox Bus Radio shows live twenty four to 808 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 2: seven and the new one improved iHeart Radio Web just starts. 809 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: Fox Puts Radio in the app the stream life every 810 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 2: day all day and be sure to select Fox Sports 811 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: Radio as one of your presets in the iHeart apps 812 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 2: so it will always pop up at the top of 813 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: your screen.

What are your 886 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 2: thoughts about that? 887 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 5: No? 888 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. First off, how are they going to enforce it? 889 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 4: How are they going to going to corrack every single 890 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 4: player and see if they're betting on professional or or 891 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 4: collegiate sports. 892 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. 893 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,439 Speaker 4: And I think it ruins the integrity of the game, 894 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 4: into integrity of competition. 895 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: Now. 896 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 3: I love what betting has done for sports dat I 897 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 3: really do. 898 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 4: It's why because it's heightened the sports, the coverage, the media, everything, 899 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 4: It's just elevated. 900 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 3: It creates why. 901 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 2: It creates a lot of questions, a lot of shops 902 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 2: passing the end zone. This didn't I know, I know exactly, 903 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 2: and it. 904 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 4: Does he have something to do with it, right, But 905 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 4: to introduce it back down to the college kids, college athletes. Man, 906 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 4: that's the slippery slope that I don't want to go down. 907 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 4: Bring you got another question I see for him? 908 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 3: Yes? 909 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 8: Which team has caused you more pain over the years? 910 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 8: The Bengals or the Reds? 911 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 4: You know, the Bengals have caused me more pain. But 912 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 4: at least it's quick, in dramatic, it's like getting dumped 913 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 4: to be a text dad. But the Reds, honestly, it's slow. 914 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 4: It's lingering, it's heartbreaking. It's like watching your house plants 915 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 4: die because of the hundred and sixty two games. 916 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: Slow death. 917 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: I tried.

Okay, should the NFL move to announce weekly 921 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: polls for their teams? Although a match up between the 922 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: Jets and the Saints could be embarrassing to say what 923 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 2: they're ranked in the poll. 924 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 4: But it wouldn't be a bad idea, right, Yeah, I 925 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 4: think it's a good idea.

It's good for the city, no 994 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 2: doubt about that. Josh is in the city, the big city, 995 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 2: the Big Apple. Josh here on Fox Sports Sunday, Fox 996 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 2: Sports Football, Fox Sports Radio, all of them with Alex Furman. 997 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 7: I'm actually in the place where there is more apples 998 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 7: than the Big Apple. I'm just north of in Westchester County, 999 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 7: New York, and I just want to say something before 1000 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 7: I get to the meet be tato is college football, 1001 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 7: professional football. I'm a form of a historian. I just 1002 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 7: like to tell everybody that there is an equivalent to 1003 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 7: what Otani did. Yesterday nineteen seventy one Philadelphia, Philly. Rick 1004 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 7: White pitched a no hitter and smacked two home runs 1005 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 7: in that game. I can't think of having like a 1006 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 7: better game and throwing a no hitter and smacking two 1007 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 7: home runs. 1008 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 2: You know what, You're exactly right. But the point is 1009 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 2: O'shanni was on a bigger stage. That was the key 1010 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 2: playing for the Dodgers. I think that's the difference. 1011 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 7: Well, you gotta remember Rick, why is only bats like 1012 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 7: once a week and I don't want to get to 1013 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 7: watch it do But that was a great mom and 1014 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 7: also that helped the Phillies win the World Series because 1015 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 7: that went to They traded Rick wise. Maybe they thought 1016 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 7: he could hit a lot of home runs and throw 1017 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 7: no hitters and to Steve Calton. The rest is history there. 1018 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 7: And Pete Rows helped out too with that team. You know, 1019 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 7: some you look at college football and some of these teams, 1020 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 7: I think the pool is a big thing because you 1021 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 7: can rebuild on the fly. Now, a lot of these 1022 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 7: kids that the coach looks out of the wrong way. 1023 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 7: He's in the portal and he's on his way to Michigan, 1024 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 7: Ohio State, Alabama. I mean, isn't like years ago. Uh, 1025 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 7: when I was very young, I was like seven eight 1026 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 7: years old, I was watching college football. I remember the 1027 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 7: USC used to win the title. Like every year, these 1028 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 7: guys whould go to USC. They'd walk around the campus 1029 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 7: for two years. They have seventy credits. No no teacher 1030 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 7: ever couldn't identify him in you know, and ID looked 1031 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 7: out ra. 1032 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 2: You know why, I'll tell you why. Because USC was 1033 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: doing the nil deal before the nil became legal. They 1034 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 2: were paying those players under the table, right, that's what 1035 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 2: they were doing. Right. 1036 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 7: The old joke is why didn't Luel send to go 1037 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 7: to the APA because the UCLA was going to paying 1038 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,359 Speaker 7: them off? C LA the thing, you know, And it's 1039 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 7: funny too, and you see the USC was winning college 1040 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 7: baseball championships too. They're you know, coach day, listen to 1041 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 7: the US see. I mean, like I said, you walk 1042 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,720 Speaker 7: around that campus graduating four years and not one teacher 1043 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 7: to put you pick you out in the line up there. 1044 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 4: Listen. 1045 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 7: They had some great running backs come out of the USC, 1046 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 7: right and you know we can name right off the 1047 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 7: top of our hats there. But listen, the portal has 1048 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 7: a lot to do with it. The play is getting 1049 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 7: paid now for their advertisements and all that other stuff. 1050 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 7: And I think it's actually better for professional football that 1051 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 7: a kid who's who should be starting is lingering on 1052 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 7: the bench does the coach doesn't have the brains to 1053 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 7: put them in, or they guarantee playing time to some 1054 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 7: other kids. So the kid leaves, he goes to another 1055 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 7: big time college and he's playing, and we're getting to 1056 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 7: see more better players play that way. 1057 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying. 1058 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to let your roll and I'll leave you 1059 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 2: with this, and I thank you for the call. The 1060 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 2: portal is a great thing, but if you don't have 1061 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 2: the check with the pay the kid that's coming from 1062 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 2: the portal, he's not going to be at your school. 1063 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 2: I'm not so certain, Alex. Can you tell me if 1064 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 2: I'm right on that or wrong on this one. Say 1065 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 2: a kid as Josh men your kids the bench, he's 1066 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 2: not playing. 1067 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 3: What's going on other school. 1068 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 2: He's in the portal. But if that school is not 1069 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 2: going to pay him as as School A and School 1070 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 2: B is gonna pay him more and he may not 1071 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 2: play as much or at all, he's gonna go to 1072 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: school beef. 1073 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 3: With a bigger check, don't you think? Yeah he will. 1074 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 4: But you know some with the portal, it benefits both 1075 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 4: the school and the players. So there's instances where the 1076 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,720 Speaker 4: portal's going to benefit the school and benefit the program. 1077 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 2: But there's also instances. 1078 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 4: Where the portal where players will enter the portal and 1079 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 4: they're doing it for themselves. A player will enter it 1080 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 4: into the portal and maybe go down a conference if 1081 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 4: you will, to play strength to play, and they're an 1082 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 4: all star player there, right, And then it gives them 1083 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 4: playing time, it gives them confidence, it builds them experience, 1084 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 4: and then they're in a better position if if they 1085 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 4: had stayed in. 1086 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 3: The other school to maybe go into professional football. 1087 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 10: Right. 1088 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 4: So I think there's there's benefits to portal and certainly 1089 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 4: the talent dad is spread out more evenly. 1090 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 2: In my opinion, we see that because because college football 1091 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 2: right now it's Ohio State, Oregon and maybe Miami and 1092 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 2: Indiana after that, it's wide open. 1093 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 4: I believe that it really is, and maybe because for 1094 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 4: the portal. It's because for the portal. I mean, look 1095 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,720 Speaker 4: at Kim Ward from last year. He went from Washington 1096 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 4: to Miami and they're you know, prior portal. I don't 1097 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 4: know how he would have been able to do that 1098 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 4: or he would have stayed that just a singular school. 1099 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 4: But the fact that Miami was able to get a 1100 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 4: Heisman winning quarterback is because of the portal and how 1101 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 4: he was able to use it. 1102 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 3: To benefit him. Because you got as well. But I'm 1103 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 3: just going to say, and it also benefits the school, 1104 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 3: no doubt. 1105 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned because Brian Callahan was the first 1106 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 2: NFL coach tadd a copy of the home game. He 1107 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 2: got fired, the head coach of the Tennessee Titans got 1108 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 2: the fired. He got fired last week. There's no real 1109 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: surprise because there's a connection with first round quarterback drafts 1110 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 2: selections and coaches getting fired and say, well why is that? 1111 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's easy. Expectations, hope, winning, fan pressure. 1112 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 2: It's a trend. Fans in Tennessee went nuts when they 1113 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,879 Speaker 2: called your guy. Cam Ward is the first draft pick 1114 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 2: last year, Titans one in five when Callahan was fired. 1115 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 2: Let go, okay, here's the stat of the day, all right, 1116 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 2: at the start of the day. And you know this, 1117 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,760 Speaker 2: Six of the last eight quarterbacks picked number one, including 1118 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 2: the last four, have seen that coaches fired during their 1119 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 2: rookie season. That is unbelievable. Why is that coaches can't 1120 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 2: handle it? The pressure expectations where they drafted cam Ward, 1121 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 2: fans in Tennessee were ready to buy Super Bowl tickets. 1122 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:25,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1123 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 4: Now, I think there are certainly unrest in Tennessee even 1124 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 4: before cam Ward was there. But honestly, we're seeing this 1125 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 4: more and more time over and over. People they expect 1126 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 4: these crazy things when they hire a new coach or 1127 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 4: when they draft a new quarterback for teams like the Titans, 1128 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 4: and every ambulyst will tell you, Dad, it's virtually impossible. 1129 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 4: I've already said in the show, it's virtually impossible for 1130 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 4: them to turn around completely and be a Super Bowl 1131 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 4: contending team. It doesn't exist, d it doesn't happen that way, right, 1132 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,800 Speaker 4: The best thing for cam Ward what he needed was 1133 00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 4: to be underneath the coach for at least two to 1134 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 4: three years to develop to be an NFA Green Bay. 1135 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,439 Speaker 3: Those are their quarterbacks, and let. 1136 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 4: Him be the quarterback that we know that cam Ward 1137 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,439 Speaker 4: can be, and we need to let him have that time. 1138 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 4: But honestly, he also needs the consistency of having the 1139 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 4: same coach, having the same people around him. 1140 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 2: You make a great point, because Super Green Bay did 1141 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 2: with Jordan Love. I mean, all the quarterbacks going back 1142 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 2: to Brett Fahr, I mean, Aaron Rodgers. All those guys 1143 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 2: sat on the sidelines learning the game, and they came 1144 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 2: in and they did well. Okay, then you get a 1145 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 2: guy like Trevor Lawrence. He said, how many offensive coordinators 1146 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 2: and head coaches as he had. I mean, there's a 1147 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 2: problem there. I mean, and you're blaming on the quarterback 1148 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,720 Speaker 2: and the fans got crazy, the head coach gets fired. 1149 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:36,959 Speaker 3: Okay. 1150 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 2: Most of these great college quarterbacks aren't cure roles. They're 1151 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 2: not instant cure rolls and we're still waiting. They're not 1152 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 2: game changes, and the coach isn't really a great match 1153 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 2: for them. Here there's another one, Matty Eberflows. Okay, former 1154 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,479 Speaker 2: coach of the Bears. He was the first Bears coach 1155 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 2: ever ever to be fired during the season. Okay, the 1156 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 2: Bear selected Caleb Williams number one and twenty twenty four 1157 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 2: in the draft. Williams with the NFL's most sat quarterback. 1158 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 2: All right, so he got fired, you know. To me, 1159 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 2: I think the only the only natural I think is 1160 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 2: when the Sincinety Bengals drafted Joe Burrow. Look, they said 1161 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 2: it was a great pick. Any idiot like myself could 1162 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 2: have drafted Joe Burrow. I mean, that was the guy 1163 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,879 Speaker 2: to pick. Bengals had the first pick. They picked Joe Burrow. 1164 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was the guy that got it done. Okay, 1165 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 2: that's that's unusual. Yeah, it really is. 1166 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,760 Speaker 4: You know, Ultimately, quarterbacks like cam Ward or Cab Williams, 1167 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 4: they're the ones really suffering here because they don't have 1168 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 4: a foundation in the NFL. Ultimately, to start from college 1169 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 4: football is completely different than NFL football. The game is 1170 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 4: so much quicker and in the perfect world I said before, 1171 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 4: cam Ward would have developed movie for three years in 1172 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 4: the NFL, right, and then by the third year he 1173 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 4: should be and probably will be under the right leadership, 1174 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 4: under the right coaching, be the prime quarterback that we 1175 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 4: thought that he would be. That he still has the 1176 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 4: potential to beat. But with changes to the GM, to 1177 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,760 Speaker 4: the coaching staff, to the head coaching, you can't expect 1178 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 4: to a starting quarterback who hasn't been in the league 1179 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 4: for less than a year dad to come out and 1180 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 4: start winning games and uh and just be the quarterback 1181 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 4: that we saw the class. 1182 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. Same situation with Bill Belichick. Don't expect him 1183 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 2: to come and be a miracle man in North Carolina 1184 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 2: his first year. It doesn't happen overnight. Now, look the 1185 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 2: cam Waarred situation. He's gonna start from square one now 1186 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 2: because his head coach is gone and Callahan was, quote 1187 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 2: the former offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, the so 1188 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 2: called offensive genius. He's gone. They're gonna start with new 1189 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 2: and they got an interim coach now who may not 1190 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 2: get the head job, and. 1191 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 3: They're gonna bring in a new guy again. Yeah, he's 1192 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 3: starting all over again and again. 1193 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 4: It's I hate when they get rid of coaches in 1194 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 4: the middle of the year because it does nothing for 1195 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 4: the team. It does nothing for the team. Keep the 1196 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 4: ship going the way it's going. Hopefully they can turn 1197 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 4: it around a little bit. But don't ever get rid 1198 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 4: of a coach question. It doesn't make any sense. 1199 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,959 Speaker 3: As a former player, here's the question. 1200 00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 7: I have. 1201 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 2: Team is one in four, one and five. When he 1202 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 2: got in Calihan that fired. There's gotta be a segment 1203 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 2: of that team in the locker room that can't stand Callahan. 1204 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 2: You know, players, and you know this, I mean, you 1205 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 2: played the game. Players never take the blame. It's never 1206 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,919 Speaker 2: there fall There's is the guy in the locker next 1207 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 2: to you. It's the coaches full it's everybody's fourth except yours. 1208 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 2: We heard that two of the other day blame this team. 1209 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 2: We'll get into that later on. So don't you think 1210 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 2: there's a segment of the team in that locker room 1211 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 2: that maybe would play down to see that coach get fired. Perhaps, 1212 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 2: do you think that there's a group of players, I'm 1213 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 2: sure that are happy that Callahan got fired. 1214 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 4: I'm sure maybe they're happy that he got fired, but 1215 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 4: maybe in the sense that he wasn't. Maybe they just 1216 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,439 Speaker 4: thought that they had a different direction for the team, 1217 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 4: that the team could go in a different direction that 1218 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 4: Callahan wasn't pointing that team in that direction. 1219 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 9: No. 1220 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 2: Here, they weren't winning, That's what they weren't winning. 1221 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 4: And maybe there's things that's going on behind closed doors 1222 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 4: we don't see certainly. And I've said before the culture. 1223 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 4: One of the coaches job is to set a culture 1224 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 4: for the for the organization. And maybe Callahan just didn't 1225 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 4: set a winning coach. 1226 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 3: And he's never been a head coach. I think that's 1227 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:04,879 Speaker 3: a big key. 1228 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 2: I think you don't know how to Ben's start somewhere. 1229 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 5: Well. 1230 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 2: A head coaches at the CEO of the corporation. He 1231 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 2: oversees everything. And sometimes when you're a coordinator, you have 1232 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 2: your hands on. You can't be a hands on kind 1233 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 2: of guy, you know. I heard stories about Jim Harbaugh's 1234 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 2: coaching out in LA with the charges. You know, he 1235 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 2: walks around from different coordinators from one room to the other. 1236 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 2: You know, he lets them do their job. He oversees everything. 1237 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 2: You know, he'll go into the defensive coordinator's room and say, 1238 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 2: what are you doing? What's going on this with you? 1239 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 2: That's the way to do it. You can't be everything 1240 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 2: to everybody. You oversee the big picture. Head coaches have 1241 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 2: so much to do anyway. You know, I never believe 1242 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 2: that a head coach should be calling the plays. I 1243 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 2: just don't think he should. He's busy with media situations, 1244 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 2: you know, two three times a week, he's got media conferences. 1245 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 2: There's just too much to be done over there. We've 1246 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,800 Speaker 2: got to continue with this number one draft picks. And 1247 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three with the Carolina Panthers, Frank Wright, he 1248 00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 2: was fight after eleven games with his rookie quarterback Bryce Young, 1249 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 2: he was gone, right. 1250 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 3: And then there's more. 1251 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,640 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, Urban Meyer fired his first year in Jacksonville, 1252 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Okay, and there's more because there's the coach, 1253 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,760 Speaker 2: and we need to discuss how a player can succeed 1254 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 2: with one coach and fail with another. It's got to 1255 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 2: be the coach, don't you think. I mean, time is 1256 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 2: a factor. They gotta grow, You gotta grow because they 1257 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 2: say the NFL is so much faster than the college game. 1258 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 2: They got to learn the game. But I do believe 1259 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 2: it's the coach. 1260 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think there's coach. But then also there's 1261 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:30,720 Speaker 3: other factors. 1262 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 4: So you know, let's talk about a quarterback situation where 1263 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 4: you know, the offensive packages is probably more suitable for 1264 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 4: one quarterback versus another quarterback. Shouldn't the coach know that? 1265 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 4: But sure the coach might know that, But I mean, 1266 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 4: you're a professional athlete. You're expected to be a professional 1267 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 4: athlete in whatever sense of offensive package that they're they're running, right, 1268 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 4: So you know, with all the way up in Baltimore, 1269 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:01,280 Speaker 4: they might have a more a quarterback run heavy offensive approach. 1270 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 3: Then to appeal Lamar Jacks. To appeal Lamar Jackson, then 1271 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 3: maybe a guy that's just going to sit in the 1272 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 3: pocket with good protection around him. 1273 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 7: Right. 1274 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,840 Speaker 3: So that's kind of where I think, like people like 1275 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield. 1276 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 4: He's finding this new win in them because he's found 1277 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 4: the perfect offense that fits his style of football and 1278 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,479 Speaker 4: there's good coaches around. 1279 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,280 Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up because there's some problems 1280 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,320 Speaker 2: right now offensively in Philadelphia with the Eagles. Okay, they've 1281 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,239 Speaker 2: run into some problems. Two weeks ago, they gave say 1282 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 2: Kwon Barkley the ball to rush eleven times. This guy 1283 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 2: rushed rope with two thousand yards last year, was the 1284 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 2: MVP of the Offensive Player of the Year. Eleven times 1285 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 2: they put the ball on his belly. Are you kidding me? 1286 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,360 Speaker 2: And it's a no offensive corn there over there with 1287 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 2: the Eagles. I mean, you got to be crazy to me, 1288 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 2: Like I like what Joe Flacco did the other night. 1289 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 2: My bredon butter guy is Jamar Chase. Give him the 1290 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,839 Speaker 2: freaking ball. And I'm sure in the huddles Jamar said, 1291 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 2: I'm free, give me the ball. Yeah, that's what they 1292 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 2: did and they won the game. 1293 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:54,399 Speaker 3: All right. 1294 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 2: I don't think I continue to do that, but they 1295 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 2: did it Thursday night in Philadelphia. You have bredon butter guy, 1296 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 2: say Kuwon Barr, give him the ball. That's your offense. 1297 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 2: It's a no brainer. 1298 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 4: I mean, dad, give the ball to your best player 1299 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,359 Speaker 4: and let him do what he does best, and that's 1300 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 4: running up and down. 1301 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 2: The coordinator should know that, or a head coach should 1302 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 2: know that. I don't know, if they're just too much 1303 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 2: into the heirds. 1304 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 4: Maybe it's like a like a maybe he upset a 1305 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:18,839 Speaker 4: him during the week or something like I'm not going 1306 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 4: to give you the ball this week. I don't know 1307 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 4: who knows, but it certainly give the ball to your 1308 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,919 Speaker 4: best player and let him do what he does best. 1309 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 2: In scrip, winch and win the game. I'll give you 1310 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 2: an example. The Indianapolis Coats are thriving right now. They're 1311 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,400 Speaker 2: unbelievable five and one. Really, Louisanna Romo was the scapegoat, 1312 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati. He's thriving at with the Colts, 1313 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 2: and I'm happy for him. I remember when he coached 1314 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 2: high school football in New York City and Staten Island. 1315 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 2: All Right, Daniel Jones is their quarterback. They going there 1316 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 2: to run Daniel Jones out of New York City on 1317 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,520 Speaker 2: a rail. He's thrown. He may be. I don't know 1318 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 2: if you give a compback player of the year because 1319 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 2: he never really did much before. He could be the 1320 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 2: comeback player of the year. Jones the quarterback. Yeah, that 1321 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 2: does not happen. I just I love, I love what's 1322 00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 2: happening to Baker. 1323 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 4: I love what's happening to Daniel because it just seems 1324 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,839 Speaker 4: to this be the second wind, this this second win 1325 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 4: that's carrying him through. And they're doing so well, they're 1326 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 4: doing so great, and New York must be kicking themselves 1327 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,360 Speaker 4: in the butt for getting rid of Jones and getting 1328 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 4: rid of Barkley and just knowing what they could have 1329 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 4: had potentially had they just kept the players or maybe 1330 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 4: just you know, change change what wasn't working right. 1331 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:26,719 Speaker 2: But good for them. 1332 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 4: Good for them for going and finding the organizations that 1333 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 4: fits them and now they're excelling. 1334 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,800 Speaker 2: Okay, we heard Mike Tomlin last hour saying how shocked 1335 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 2: he was and maybe he's stupid, and Andy Berry, the 1336 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 2: general manager of the Browns, is not maybe smarter than 1337 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 2: him for treading Joe Flacco in the division to the Bengals. 1338 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 2: How stupid would the Giants trading in the division to 1339 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 2: the Eagles with Sae Kwon Barkley when it gave him away? Basically, 1340 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 2: I mean, how stupid could you be? 1341 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 4: I would if I were a Giants fan, I would 1342 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 4: be banging my head against it all. Figure out what this, 1343 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 4: what this team was thinking with the team's approach was, 1344 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 4: what their thought process was. 1345 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone still knows honestly that Look, the 1346 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 2: next snap I take in the National Football League will 1347 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 2: be my first.

You know, 1399 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 2: quarterbacks who were drafted number one of the coaches get fired, 1400 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 2: but so many these guys got a new life. To 1401 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones of the world, to Baker Mayfield and these coaches. 1402 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 2: Right now, I'm going to run this by you. They 1403 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 2: all know the x's and o's. I think it's all 1404 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 2: about a leadership factor. I mean, you've got to be 1405 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 2: a great leader. You got to be able to delegate, 1406 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 2: you got to get respect. And look what happened in 1407 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 2: UCLA when the coaching changed. Why did the Lions lose 1408 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 2: for so long until Dan Campbell came along? You know 1409 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 2: what I mean, it's a coincidence. I mean really, I mean, 1410 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 2: how did Indiana become a football school? Easy, Kirk Signetti. 1411 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 2: I mean it's all about the coaching, you delegate and respect. 1412 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 2: For example, I remember this when Boomer Siasin was the 1413 00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 2: quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. You're the quarterback coach? Was 1414 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 2: Dana Bible? You think Boomer had any respect for that guy? 1415 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 2: Guy never took a snap really in the NFL, didn't 1416 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 2: do anything. And I know Boomer, he spoke to me 1417 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 2: at length about this and I kept it quiet, but 1418 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 2: you know, he didn't have any respect. They banged heads 1419 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 2: all the time. Dana Bible's gonna tell Boomer's size and 1420 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 2: what to do. You have to have a guy with respect. 1421 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 2: That makes a big deal. 1422 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, I think and I've been behind 1423 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 4: coaches where you do have to have respect, and once 1424 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 4: you do have that respect, the ties have turned and 1425 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 4: then everything becomes better. You become a better athlete for 1426 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 4: it because you have the respect for the coaches. Look 1427 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 4: at Dan Campbell, right, and look what he's done for 1428 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 4: Detroit And what's the difference there. What's the ultimate difference him? 1429 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,640 Speaker 4: It's him, right, It's the culture that he's built. You know, 1430 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 4: I will preach culture until I am blue in the face, Dad, 1431 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 4: And that's one of the coaches. The coaches, what's one 1432 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 4: of the coaches that their main jobs, right is to 1433 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 4: build the culture and behind that players get behind that culture. 1434 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 4: They believe in the culture, they believe the cause, and 1435 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 4: once you amp up enough, they're ready to run through 1436 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 4: a brick. 1437 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 2: Wall for you. Jim Jim Harba, coach of the Charges, 1438 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 2: could be all the said and done. He may be 1439 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 2: one of the greatest coaches of all time. One in college, 1440 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 2: went anywhere in the NFL. When he's the forty nine ers, 1441 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 2: he won Charges of four and two and they play, 1442 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 2: they host the colt today. It's a pretty good game 1443 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,439 Speaker 2: five and one. I've heard stories that Jim Harbaugh rolls 1444 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 2: up as sleeves goes in the weight room with these guys. 1445 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 2: You don't think that makes the difference. You don't think 1446 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 2: that fires up guys. It's set in the example. It's 1447 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 2: set in the example. 1448 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 4: And then and then you have coaches like the Cardinals 1449 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 4: where they're pushing their own players, and the guys see that. 1450 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 4: Players see that, right, and they look at that coach 1451 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 4: and say, no respect for you whatsoever. I'm gonna do me. 1452 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna try and play the best of my ability. 1453 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 4: But I don't believe in your I don't believe in 1454 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 4: your campaign. I don't believe in the culture that you're setting. 1455 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,440 Speaker 4: I don't believe in you and uh, you know, you 1456 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 4: ask the players, you know, lie down to see their 1457 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 4: coaches fail. 1458 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 3: I see why maybe people would do that, you know, 1459 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 3: for the I will tell you another thing. 1460 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 2: I mean, and people ask me all the time, and 1461 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 2: how come the CINCINNTI Bengals have had such a difficult 1462 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 2: time over the years and within the Super Bowl three 1463 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 2: times they lost, but still overall they haven't really done well. 1464 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 3: The decade of the nineties was like death. It really was. 1465 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 2: And I've told him, I said, because I think that 1466 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 2: you need to get an experienced coach in here. The 1467 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 2: only experienced coach they ever really had who cracked the 1468 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 2: whip and players respected with fearful of was Forrest Gregg. 1469 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 2: He played the game, He was a tough guy, played 1470 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 2: for the Green Bay Packers. Other than that Dave Shula. 1471 01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 2: You know why, because he was Don Shula's son. They 1472 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 2: kept me too long. What was his record? Something like 1473 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 2: eleven and eighty. I mean, come on, I mean, you 1474 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 2: got to get a guy who's been there, done that. 1475 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 2: And maybe that's why Callahan got fired in Tennessee. 1476 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 4: I think, well, in Tennessee's situation, I think it's just 1477 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 4: more than just him. I think that the entire ownership 1478 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 4: the GMS, there's just so much of a spaghetti kind 1479 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 4: of mess there. 1480 01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 3: It's so hard to go through. 1481 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 4: And ultimately it's it's the players that's that's getting the 1482 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 4: front of it really because they have no leadership. They 1483 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 4: have no direction, right, and they need a solid courter 1484 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:12,439 Speaker 4: or a solid leadership without a run he should really, 1485 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:16,000 Speaker 4: he's ultimately the uh setting the prime example of what 1486 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:17,240 Speaker 4: a good leader is going to be. 1487 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,360 Speaker 2: No, it's Dan Cambell, you know. Okay, let me talk 1488 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 2: about the Charges now with Jim Harbor. Let's send that 1489 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 2: the Dolphins lost to the Charges. Dolphins are one and 1490 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 2: five and they meet the Browns in Cleveland today. If 1491 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 2: that game was in my backyard, I close the shades. Really, 1492 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 2: I mean, it's disgusting. But we got to talk about 1493 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 2: that because Mike McDaniel's another guy on the very very 1494 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 2: hot seat with the Miami Dolphins. Again, I say lack 1495 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 2: of leadership last week after the loss too of their 1496 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 2: quarterback point of the finger and his teammates about missing meetings. 1497 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 2: Who's a bad move. It's a terrible We just can't 1498 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 2: you could he had three d deceptions in that game. 1499 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,400 Speaker 2: How could he not take the blame for that game, 1500 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 2: but this week he said something and I got to 1501 01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 2: hear what he said to go ahead. 1502 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,080 Speaker 5: I think it starts with the leadership in helping articulate 1503 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,920 Speaker 5: that for the guys, and then what we're expecting out 1504 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 5: of the guys, Right, we're expecting this, Are we getting that? 1505 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 2: Are we not getting that? 1506 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 5: We have guys showing up to player only meetings late, 1507 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 5: guys not showing up to player only meeting Like, There's 1508 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 5: a lot that goes into that. Do we have to 1509 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 5: make this mandatory? Do we not have to make this mandatory? 1510 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 5: So so it's it's a lot of it's a lot 1511 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 5: of things of that nature that we got to get 1512 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 5: cleaned up. And it starts with the little things like that. 1513 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 2: Not his job to point fingers, that's not that's the 1514 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 2: coach's job. And when I asked McDaniel about that, he 1515 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 2: was it was embarrassing. 1516 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, really, yeah. It's a real bad situation there over 1517 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,360 Speaker 4: there in Miami. And ultimately I think it does kind 1518 01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 4: of fall on Mike McDaniel in the culture that he's built. 1519 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 4: He doesn't have a culture there. He has a culture 1520 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 4: of people pointing fingers and not taking blame for or 1521 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 4: not taking responsibility for themselves. Now he's saying, we need 1522 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 4: to find a leader to what is a leader on 1523 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 4: the field. Not the mouth for the team. He's not 1524 01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,640 Speaker 4: the mouth for the team, no, but he is a 1525 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,760 Speaker 4: leader on the team. Just buy his position, no doubt. 1526 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,080 Speaker 4: Being the quarterback for the team, you are if you are, 1527 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 4: in doubt, the leader of the team, you are seen 1528 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 4: as the leader. The person does set the example regardless 1529 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 4: if you're the offense, if you're the defense, right, and 1530 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 4: you're kind of the face of the team a little 1531 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 4: bit because you're the one in the prime light, the 1532 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 4: bylight a little bit more, right, But certainly he doesn't 1533 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 4: have the mouth. 1534 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,600 Speaker 3: But he can't be throwing You cannot be throwing your 1535 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 3: players underneath the buses. 1536 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 2: And the lust. 1537 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, look at yourself internally first, right, see what you 1538 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 4: can do the better yourself first, and then help your players, 1539 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 4: help your other teammates. And if you're right, it is 1540 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,960 Speaker 4: you know, hey, make sure you're getting to your meetings, 1541 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 4: push them individually, right and if you. 1542 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 2: Want to talk about them, talk them individually one on one, 1543 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 2: not to the media. Yes, that's behind the keep it 1544 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 2: out of the meeting and That's why I have so 1545 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 2: much expect for Jake Brownie because when he got bencham 1546 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 2: they put Joe Flacco, went to Cincinnati, he faced the music, 1547 01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 2: he went to the media. 1548 01:05:58,720 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 3: SIT's on me. 1549 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 2: I gotta play bet. I wish Joe Flaccowell I'll be 1550 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 2: with him, and he could have hit a lot of 1551 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 2: these guys. I've been to locker rooms. You have the losses. 1552 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 2: He can't find the guy. They're in the training room, 1553 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 2: they don't come out. They're cowards. 1554 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 4: But you know the fact that the fact that Tua 1555 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 4: is saying that there's no leader here, you know, what 1556 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 4: does that tell you? 1557 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 3: What the organization tells me. He's dumping on his coach. 1558 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,120 Speaker 3: He's dumping it on his coach. 1559 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 4: But kind of we don't see McDaniel doing anything in 1560 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,640 Speaker 4: the sense of being that leader on the team. You know, 1561 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 4: I don't know he's taking ownership of what's what's going 1562 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 4: on with the team. But he just always had this 1563 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 4: nonchalant Southern look. 1564 01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 3: He doesn't look like a coach. 1565 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:41,680 Speaker 2: He looks like the count. 1566 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 4: He looks like he looks like an analyst or something 1567 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 4: like that, which is fine, you know, and I'm sure 1568 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 4: he knows the game listen. 1569 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying he doesn't know the game coach. 1570 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 4: He knows the exs and o's and he's in the 1571 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 4: position because he knows what he's doing right. 1572 01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,680 Speaker 3: But it's more than knowing the exces and o's dad, no. 1573 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 4: Doubt it's it's it's leading a group of guys onto 1574 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 4: the field and winning week in and week out and 1575 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 4: preparing your team. And McDaniel is not doing that, and 1576 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 4: he's not setting the right culture. Dan Campbell is in Detroit. 1577 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 6: He is not. 1578 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 3: And I've said it before in this show. 1579 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 4: I don't believe in getting rid of coaches midseason, but 1580 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 4: maybe McDaniel is my one, my one coach that. 1581 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 2: If he's gone after today's game, and I think that, 1582 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 2: I think two coaches are going to hit the road 1583 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,920 Speaker 2: after this week. I think Luke Fickley Wisconsin and McDaniel 1584 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 2: in Miami. I think those guys are gone. And I'll 1585 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 2: say something else. And you follow sports as much as 1586 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 2: anybody else, don't you notice a change in coaches. I 1587 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 2: think coaches want to be liked, don't you think that. 1588 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 2: I mean, back back in the day, I remember what 1589 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 2: coaches after a game, they would call out a player 1590 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 2: at their postgame news conference, they call him out, Hey, 1591 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:48,960 Speaker 2: if he would have caught that ball, we would I 1592 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,919 Speaker 2: don't hear that anymore. They're afraid of the players, don't 1593 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 2: you think. I don't hear that. 1594 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,920 Speaker 4: I think there's more pressure on being a little bit 1595 01:07:55,960 --> 01:08:00,120 Speaker 4: more PC now honestly politically correct. You know, it's well, 1596 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 4: ultimately two, you know, it's a team sport, you know, 1597 01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 4: but sure there's things that happen. You know, if he 1598 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 4: had caught that pass, we would have gotten the game 1599 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 4: winning touched on whatever it may be. 1600 01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:10,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1601 01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 4: I think it's shifted, the culture shifted, and that's fine, 1602 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 4: But ultimately I would have liked to say. 1603 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 2: Look, you know it was a tough loss, but you know, 1604 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,280 Speaker 2: if two wouldn't have thrown those three picks, maybe we 1605 01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,200 Speaker 2: could have been in the game. 1606 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 4: No guy once wants to play for a coach, he's 1607 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,640 Speaker 4: going to throw him underneath the bus like that. I 1608 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,640 Speaker 4: don't want to play for a coach like that. You know, 1609 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 4: I want a coach that's going to take ownership of 1610 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,879 Speaker 4: what fell in his basket. 1611 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:33,160 Speaker 2: This fell on me. 1612 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,640 Speaker 3: I didn't prepare the team enough this week for the 1613 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 3: come out with the win. It falls on me. 1614 01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 4: But I don't want to hear my coach dogging on 1615 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 4: my running back or dogging on my defense. 1616 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it. 1617 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,480 Speaker 3: No, because no, because that ruins. 1618 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 4: Morale, and it ruins morale, and it ruins you know, 1619 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,080 Speaker 4: everything that the coaches is going to start saying is 1620 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 4: going to go in one ear and ride out the 1621 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 4: other because they lose respect. 1622 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 2: This the whole respect. Well, you're speaking about that about 1623 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 2: going in one ear at the other. Bear's quote Caleb Williams, Okay, 1624 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,320 Speaker 2: he said they could care less about commentary. 1625 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 3: You're full of it. 1626 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: You let me hear. 1627 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 3: Go ahead, Calen, what do you get to say? 1628 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:08,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I could care less. 1629 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's kind of how I think I've said multiple times. 1630 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:14,880 Speaker 12: People are gonna say what they have to say. 1631 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:16,719 Speaker 5: We win, we lose. 1632 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 12: People have stuff to say. It was lucky, it was 1633 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 12: not lucky. People have stuff to say. Have a bad game, 1634 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:24,800 Speaker 12: have a good game. You know, people have stuff to say. 1635 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,800 Speaker 12: So it's it's it doesn't matter.
