To get to 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: what if I told you? What if I told you 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: that I was going to compare the Dallas Cowboys with 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: my Green Bay Phoenix, Like, Okay, that's a stretch. No, no, no, 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: it's it's not really. Uh, there's a an NFL game 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: night in a college basketball game night, and I kind 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: of think I kind of think there's some similarities there. 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: Jay Stu, you like to pick holes in these things. 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: You are in search of the opposite of whatever BS is, right, 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: that's you know you love content. I'm gonna give you 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: some content. You'd tell me if it's too much of 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: its armstrong. Tonight, the Dallas Cowboys take out the Detroit Lions. 40 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: Dallas coming off big win on Thanksgiving Day and proving 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: many myself included, who thought they would they were playing 42 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: for a draft pick next year, wrong, that they're actually 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: pretty good. Now, are they great? No, I don't think 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: anybody would argue otherwise. But they're way better then I 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 2: would say any of us non Cowboy fans thought possible. 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: I think that's a very easy like there's grandiose statements 47 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: you can make, which people go like, not really, because 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: as much as I could say they're way better than 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: anyone would have thought, there's plenty of Dallas Cowboy fans 50 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: who think every year like, oh, win super Bowl. So 51 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: when I say they're way better, I mean they're way 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: better than any of us could have thought could have 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: fucked And any of us non Cowboy fans. So non 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: Cowboy fans, if you ask yourself honestly, when they trade 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: away Micah Parsons, when they hired their offensive coordinator Brian 56 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: Schottenheimer as their head coach, you're like, yeah, it could 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: be bad this year, bad bad, And they've been pretty good. 58 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: But coming off of that win, the key to being 59 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: really good is consistency, and you get a chance to 60 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: do it against a team who had kind of been 61 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: the Darling of the NFL the past couple of years, 62 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: like we could do an entire show on the Lions 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: on they're going through what the Eagles have gone through, 64 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: not just this season, but the previous time they were 65 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, where people poach your coordinators and 66 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: it takes you a while to kind of figure out 67 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: who you are, who's gonna call the plays, what you're 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: gonna look like, how you're gonna play for the Cowboys, 69 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: they haven't. They've they've proven the doubters wrong in terms 70 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: of them stinking. So they're good, they're fine, they're above average, 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: or they're mediocre their average. You win tonight and you're like, oh, okay, 72 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: well that's different, right, that's different. You beat the Chiefs, 73 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: and again the Chiefs are not the Chiefs of old, 74 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: but you did beat the Chiefs in the most watched 75 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: NFL regular season game in the history of the sport. 76 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: Everybody saw it. Now you get a chance to back 77 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: it up with a team that also still trying to 78 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: find themselves. Okay, so where's the parallel with my team? 79 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: I give it to you. We played Robert Morris tonight. 80 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: Robert Morris won the league, won the league tournament. Now. 81 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: They've lost most of their team from last year, but 82 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: they did have I'm a lot more money than us, 83 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: and they went out and got a good and they 84 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: have a good team. They're good, just like the Lions 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: are good. They're still trying to figure out, like who 86 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: they are this year as opposed to who they are 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: last year. They're playing differently. My team, everybody thought are 88 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: gonna think gonna be stunk last year. I wouldn't just 89 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: think this year. Win a couple of games, all right, 90 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: So we're not as bad as people outside of our 91 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: building think. But in order to be considered good, you 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: got to back it up with consistency. You got to 93 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: back it up with some consistency because otherwise it's just 94 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: a win and it's just you're not terrible. We can't 95 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: make fun of you as much, but we don't necessarily 96 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: respect you and think you're good. Same with the Cowboys, 97 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: same with the Green Bay Phoenix. Jase, do, how am 98 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: I doing? 99 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 4: It's good? 100 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: No? 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 4: No, I think the analogy face value is accurate. I 102 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: think that there are there's quite a bit of difference 103 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: in the construct right. Oh yeah, professional sports is different. 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 5: There. 105 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 4: The Cowboys can switch out all fifty three players this 106 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 4: year as you did, you know, stuff like that. 107 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: But yeah, but but in fairness, like we lost Anthony Roy, 108 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: the nation's leading scorer. He's at Oklahoma State now from 109 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: last ye year, right, and they trade away Michael Parsons. 110 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: I didn't trade again. There are some very loose parallels, 111 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: but the point is that's what I feel like tonight's 112 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: game is about. For the Cowboys, it's about they've already 113 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: earned at least my respect and I think better. And 114 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott's been really good for the most part this year, 115 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: not the whole not the whole season. I've never been 116 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 2: a big Dak guy. I always thought Dak was better 117 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: than anybody, kind of like the Cowboys, better than anybody 118 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: thought he could be, but not elite. He's looked like 119 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: an elite quarterback at many times this year, many times, 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: and considering what he's dealing with in terms of the 121 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: overall personnel, the defense trying to figure themselves out, you know, 122 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: he's done really well. George Pickens, who was a complete 123 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: pain of that, you know what with the Pittsburgh Steelers, 124 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: has not been a pain. So whatever he's doing off 125 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: the field, not just on the field, but get in 126 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: the football. But in terms of relationship building with Pickens 127 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: has never stepped up and going like hey this guy 128 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 2: stinks or made a big He hasn't had any of 129 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: the stuff that he had in Pittsburgh. 130 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 3: Uh. 131 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: There's also the lion's side to it, which is I 132 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: what I see in Dan Campbell is what uh I 133 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 2: think there's there's it's just interesting and that there's nothing 134 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: wrong with the plays that he's calling, but there's a 135 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 2: rhythm to it. They're just plays. There's not an offense. 136 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: There's not a we're doing this to come back and 137 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: do that. It's down in distance and play calling and 138 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: selection and and and there's. It really is an art. 139 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's like if you watch the Browns on 140 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: Schdor's first touchdown, Onor's touchdown drive, when you through the 141 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: touchdown pass, first eight plays were run place, but they 142 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: were all kind of different and you're all like, wow, 143 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: that again, it's all a setup, set up, set up, 144 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: set up, setup. You're gonna go here, we're gonna go there, 145 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: march down the field, and then right when you think 146 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: we're only running the football, boom we get you with 147 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: the play action. We score a touchdown. I think Campbell's 148 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: not there as a play college, not something he's ever 149 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: done before. Again, I can see part of myself in 150 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: that last year. Right now, I have more help. Now, 151 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: I have somebody really really helped me and understanding and 152 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: even teaching me timing of and I have a better 153 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: feel for it. Whereas Dan Campbell's never called plays before, 154 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 2: I've seen people tell him say he should have been 155 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: calling plays earlier, maybe or maybe had somebody that he 156 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: felt like was more experienced calling plays. Call plays and 157 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: then keep your hands off fit because that's what's worked 158 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: for them. But this is an interesting Thursday night football game. 159 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: Most of them are not most of them are not 160 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: well played, most of the teams are not well rested. 161 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 2: You can't make that case because both of these teams 162 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 2: played last Thursday, so they've had the full amount of rest. 163 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: That does not mean that the product will be as 164 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: good as the product should be. But in a game 165 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: in which the Lions are sitting there going like we 166 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 2: got in some games where we could fall out of 167 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: the playoff, the Cowboys are trying to sneak into the playoffs. 168 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: The Cowboys are trying to do more than just earn 169 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: everybody's respect. They're trying to prove that they're good. And 170 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: the Lions will you to in a row on home 171 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: would be bad? Would just be bad. Sesame straight helped 172 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate this 173 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: holiday season at Sesame dot org because the world needs 174 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: Sesame and Sesame needs you. And this is the Doug 175 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: Gottlieb Show. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. H Dan Byer, 176 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: what's up, Danny? What he got? 177 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 6: So what I think is interesting tonight is if you 178 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 6: look at the Cowboys. 179 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 5: You mentioned Brian Schottenheimer. 180 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 6: There was a point that Dallas had Kellen Moore as 181 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 6: their offensive coordinator and the thought was, oh my goodness, 182 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 6: we can't let Kellen Moore go because look at what 183 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 6: he's doing with this Dallas offense. Well, Kellen Moore was 184 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 6: ultimately let go, and the Cowboys ended up having a 185 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 6: better offense the year after Kellen Moore left than Mike 186 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 6: McCarthy was looked at, is the guy that is this is? 187 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 6: Well he maybe it was his offense after all. Well, 188 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,359 Speaker 6: ultimately McCarthy doesn't return on his contract and Brian Schottenheimer 189 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 6: takes over as the offensive coordinator and so far so good. 190 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 6: To your point about the expectations, my question is this, 191 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 6: is there going to become a point in Detroit where 192 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 6: they wish they had Ben Johnson instead of Dan Campbell. Yes, 193 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 6: And I think that's probably the case as well. And 194 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 6: I think like tonight is an opportunity for Dan Campbell 195 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 6: to show and the Lions to show that even down 196 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 6: that they still have that pride, that grit and everything 197 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 6: that came with it. And I think that the reason 198 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 6: why the Lions wouldn't have been gutsy enough to make 199 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 6: that move because it would probably ruin the culture in 200 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 6: the locker room. But if that would have been a 201 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 6: short term thing and you could have kept Ben Johnson 202 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 6: for the long term, maybe that would have been your move. 203 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 6: But I'm wondering if we're seeing two ships passing in 204 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 6: the night tonight, maybe Cowboys ascending, Lions descending. But I 205 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 6: think now we're going to start to have those conversations 206 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 6: considering how well things have gone for the Bears in 207 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 6: year one with Ben Johnson. 208 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 4: In their history for this right that we've seen this 209 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: movie before, Right, wasn't didn't wasn't Dick Vermeal convinced to 210 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: retire so that Mike martzl could have sent a head coach. 211 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 4: What was is Steve Bolotti convinced to step down or 212 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: move aside for Chip Kelly. 213 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: Mike Bloody, Mike Bloody, Mike Bloody. 214 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: Yes, Steve, his brother Steve was also in within the 215 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 4: coaching ranks. 216 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, So so this is actually an 217 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: interesting discussion. Like a side note, and again, if if 218 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: I'm talking too much about my basketball team, you guys 219 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 2: feel free to at least send me a text, or 220 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: you can. 221 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 4: Just say it. 222 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: I don't care on here, but it is interesting. The 223 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: it's the idea when I first took a took a 224 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 2: head coaching job, I said it and I meant it, 225 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: which is hire people who know what you don't know 226 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: and then let them work. Uh. I just again, it 227 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: was a weird time of year and and I thought 228 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: I knew what I needed, and in short order, I 229 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: did the best that I could. This year, I feel 230 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: like I've done that. Additionally, in addition to hiring somebody 231 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: to run the offense, helping with the offense and run 232 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: the defense, is I have an understudy on the defense 233 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: if and when my defensive coordinator chooses to retire and offensively. Again, 234 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: I would be the de facto and I'm still kind 235 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: of de facto play caller, but I've been given so 236 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: much help in the building blocks of it and the 237 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 2: teaching of it. I do know what I would be 238 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: looking for. I think the Dan Campbell what's happened to 239 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: his program, if you will, is he's had incredible success, 240 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 2: but you have to prepare on some level for the 241 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 2: inevitability of losing players and coaches in that success. And 242 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: he's trying to do something that he's never done. That 243 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: he doesn't and I'm not saying he does it poorly, 244 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: but it's really hard if you haven't done it before 245 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: suddenly become a play caller, and then he did in 246 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: mid season, and I get it. He played in the league, 247 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: he was a tight end. He's been a head coach 248 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: before his interim, he's been a tight ends coach. He 249 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 2: knows generally how it works. But I think that what's 250 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: interesting is if you asked any of us without ever 251 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: working for Dan Campbell, right, I'll ask you, Dan Byer, 252 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 2: what do you think the what's the secret sauce to 253 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: Dan Campbell? What has made him successful and really really 254 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: well liked by the players that seem to play well. 255 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 6: I think that he's a former player and can connect 256 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 6: with them at that level. 257 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 2: So he is he is. He's a Tomlin type. He 258 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: is a John Harbaugh type. A Granted John Harbaugh didn't 259 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 2: play whatever, but he is a guy who you can't 260 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: pin down any one thing. He does schematically, he knows football. 261 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: But there he gets him to play hard for him, 262 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: I play together, play hard, and he gets them to 263 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: believe that. Hey, he hires former players to help be 264 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: his coaches. Like he's all about the players, right, that's 265 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: the strength. He's not the book nerd, he's not the 266 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: play caller, he's not the schematic guy. He's the energy guy. Right, 267 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: So you got to hire guys that do all that. 268 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: And it feels like he missed on coordinator because he 269 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: was super loyal and appointed a guy from within. But 270 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: he wasn't ready for that. And now he's doing something 271 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: which is not necessarily what he does best. Whereas Brian Schottenheimer, 272 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: I guarantee he didn't touch the defense. He got nothing 273 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: to do with the defense. He's got to hire somebody 274 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: trust him, and then he handles the offense that and 275 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: then generally coaches the team in the way that he 276 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: feels best, and he's done a good job at that. 277 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: I just thought there was some parallels there. 278 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 5: No, I think it's fair. 279 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 6: I also think when you just look at the situation 280 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 6: on paper, like there's no way that you would fire 281 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 6: Dan Campbell, and the collateral damage of firing Dan Campbell 282 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 6: would maybe crumble everything that he's built. But if you're 283 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 6: a Lions fan and you look at what Ben Jonsonson's 284 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 6: done in year one and what could have continued in Detroit, like, 285 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 6: I think that this season is obviously the start of 286 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 6: it because Ben Johnson's no longer there and is now 287 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 6: in Chicago and having success. But I mean, should they 288 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 6: have made the really really difficult decision saying we wanted 289 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 6: the offensive coordinator, we didn't want the head coach. And 290 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 6: I know it's crazy it's to sound like that, But 291 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 6: if we look back in five or ten years and 292 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 6: the Bears are having great success and Dan Campbell's message 293 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 6: gets old and they don't have the success, Detroit's probably 294 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 6: going to rue the day that they let Ben Johnson go. 295 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I agree with you that that will 296 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: be probably the sentiment if he doesn't nail the offensive 297 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: coordinator higher in the offense season. 298 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 5: That'll be the hindsight. 299 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, But I also don't think it was actually possible. 300 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: Like Dan Campbell was so unbelievably well liked and he 301 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: got so much of the credit. It's like, you're not wrong, 302 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: but they're like, reality is like, you can't fire Dan Campbell. 303 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: You just can't, could you? I mean, played babe. At 304 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: some point Ben Johnson wanted to be a head coach. 305 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: The Bears was the one he had his eye on, 306 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: and that was the one he got. I do think 307 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: that making it worse is that he is in Divisions 308 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: and I you see him twice and you you're like, 309 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: are you kidding me? 310 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: Sure? 311 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: But I also don't think there's any reality where they 312 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: could have coming off of the first consecutive quality seasons 313 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: in our lifetime that the Lions have ever had, Right, Like, 314 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: the Lions have literally been a punchline for a long time. 315 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: Not as bad for the most part as the Aints 316 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: Saints where they are now and where they were when 317 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: we were kids, not as bad as some of these 318 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: other teams, but they just consistently sucked for a long time. 319 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: You suddenly bring them to you You're the focal point. 320 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: You bring them to respectability and then they go like, hey, 321 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: we want your offense according to coach, Like, there's just 322 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: no reality to it. Even though you're not wrong, you're 323 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 2: actually right, Like in terms of football coach, they had 324 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: to have Ben Johnson and not having another guy ready 325 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: when and you had a year lead up. That's the 326 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: other part to it. It's like, hey, you had a 327 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: year knowing Ben Johnson could have taken a job the 328 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 2: year before, didn't was gonna take a job this year. 329 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: You had to have somebody just bollm around, be that 330 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 2: guy and be ready for the second that he takes 331 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: the job. And they didn't do that. 332 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, Tanner Angstrom two left with Aaron Glenn to go 333 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 6: to New York and he was the passing game coordinator 334 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 6: for the Lions under Ben Johnson. 335 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 5: So there was more. 336 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 6: You know, they've lost more on that offensive coaching staff 337 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 6: than just Ben Johnson himself. 338 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 7: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug 339 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 7: Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on 340 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 341 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: It's a Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. 342 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 4: Chase do Doug.

You are going up against 344 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 4: the league champs of last seas. We saw them in 345 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament and Robert Morse. Robert Morse. Now, I 346 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: think we could do this only because it's the start 347 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 4: of league play. I don't want to do it too 348 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: often because I think when we do do it, I 349 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 4: want it to be valued. I do have a question. 350 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 7: There's a question that needs an answer, and the answer 351 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 7: is if only there was someone with the authority and 352 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 7: the wisdom to give us that answer. 353 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: No, I'm the head coach. 354 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 5: I get to set the schedule. 355 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 4: Hold on, let's ask the coach before I asked my question. 356 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 4: I do want to say I'm very proud of Veto 357 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 4: for including the whistle there at the end. It really 358 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 4: it really sells the imaging. That's industry talk for any 359 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: kind of sounding here in the radio show. Imaging coach 360 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 4: there coming back from the Caribbean, you know, and you've 361 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 4: had some time to sit on it. It was a 362 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 4: very successful journey to the Virgin Islands. What is the 363 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 4: one thing you learned about your team and or players 364 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 4: or coaching staff or schemes that you're like, you know what, 365 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 4: I'm glad we have that. I can't wait to use 366 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 4: it in conference play. 367 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: Well, we played our last two games without our leading score. 368 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 2: We wanted two games with our leading scorer, Marcus Hall, 369 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: and I again, I'm glad we won, but I'm I'm 370 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 2: even more excited that we were able to play without 371 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 2: Marcus because you know, last year we lost Anthony Roy. 372 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 2: The guys really struggled with confidence. I mean, one, we 373 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: weren't necessarily talented enough, but two, a lot of it 374 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: was just confidence. So we didn't just win, we showed 375 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 2: that we could win without a a two and a 376 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 2: half year starter, without a preseason first team All League guy, 377 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: And I thought that is a huge takeaway that the 378 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: construct of this team. And it's again, it's just like 379 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: any professional model. You have a certain amount of money, 380 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: and whether I have less money or more money than 381 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: other people that I'm not talking about that. What I'm 382 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: saying is within the money that I do have, and 383 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: we do compensate everybody on our roster on some level 384 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: above that of scholarship and grant aid. Do you go 385 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: all in on three guys and have three guys that 386 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: are maybe above your level, and then the rest of 387 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 2: the guys, you know, you just have them fight for 388 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: scraps or do you try and have more talent overall, 389 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: but some of that talent may not play as much. 390 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 2: And that's what I chose to do, which so I 391 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: chose to have a deeper roster instead of a top 392 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 2: heavy roster, and I think that ended up helping me. 393 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: It was a obviously there's some confirmation bias too, but 394 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: it confirmed that that was a smart approach. Especially I thought, Look, 395 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 2: I thought going into that tournament we would struggle to 396 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: win a game and our best shot would be the 397 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: third game when we had better depth and I know 398 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 2: I can keep the guys playing hard. Turned out that 399 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: we were right there in the first game, could have 400 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: won it, won the second game, and won the third game. Whatever. 401 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 2: But I do think the depth of the roster was 402 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: on display. 403 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 6: Dan Byer, Yes, Dan Byer, Fox Sports Radio Coach. You 404 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 6: had a player, Dontrell Hewlett, suffered a significant injury in 405 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 6: a game against Saint Thomas. But it also feels that 406 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 6: after the game of that game, your season has taken 407 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 6: a different turn. Is there any correlation between the two events. 408 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just saw Dontrell by the way, so it 409 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: does suck to say this, but yeah, it helped us one. 410 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 2: You know, it helped motivate some of those guys that hey, 411 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: look man, dontrelle was playing and working towards being a starter, 412 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 2: was a partial starter, and now he's not going to 413 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: play the rest of this year, so the tomorrow's never promising. 414 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 2: But he was kind of fighting for minutes with two 415 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: other point guards, and when you took out of the mix, 416 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: it became much easier and it allowed me to tighten 417 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: up the rotation. So it's not as much him as 418 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: much as it was one less person, because one of 419 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: the issues when you have ten, eleven, twelve guys who 420 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: you feel like can all play, is at some point 421 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to tell somebody who think is good 422 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 2: enough they can't play right now. And it made it 423 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 2: easier for me because now I only had really two 424 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: to three point guards to pick from, and I moved 425 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: Preston Ruinger back over to the starting point. Lebron Thomas 426 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 2: became sort of his backup. They actually started together in 427 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: several of these games, but the taking one guy who 428 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 2: was playing somewhere between fifteen and twenty two to twenty 429 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 2: three minutes a game. Though we miss his athletic ability. 430 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 2: He is a tremendous athlete downhill driver. It is one 431 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: less guy to work in and it made it easier 432 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 2: to kind of contract our rotation is it's a really 433 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 2: good point and that has happened. 434 00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, the coach Sam Kinsley from the Tumwa is It 435 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 8: Dispatch Union Tribune. I see your your slight favorite in 436 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 8: this game? Is this the first time as you coach 437 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 8: at UW Green Bay? You guys have been a favorite. 438 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 8: How does that feel? What do you tell your players? 439 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: I don't even know. 440 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 8: Oh, I just I just poisoned the well. 441 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 4: I don't think you. To be honest, I might see 442 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: it's not true. 443 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: It's not not true. That feel good? 444 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 5: But how do you keep that in? Coaches know, they 445 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 5: just may not say that. They don't. 446 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, Coach Sutton used to it never worked in 447 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: our favor. Whatever the line was right, like if we 448 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: were we're getting ready to play Oklahoma where a six 449 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: point Vegas thinks you're a six point They don't know 450 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: you are terrible. You they don't know anything about this? 451 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: How good? The Sooners are, and then if you were 452 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: an underdog, he would say, even Vegas doesn't think you're 453 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: any good. It never worked to our favorite. So Coach 454 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: Sutton alwaysknew the lines. I generally do know the lines, 455 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: and I you know, it's hard, but like when you're 456 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: constantly a massive underdog, you sit there and go like, hey, 457 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: we're a fricking underdog. Man, We're way better than this, 458 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: But you can't say anything, and I don't know. So 459 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: what does it mean? Again? It means that Vegas doesn't 460 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: know anything because most of us don't know. We don't 461 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: know what team we have until we get into conference play, 462 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: and even then we have these three conference games, then 463 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: we play a couple out of conference games. I guess 464 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: we'll we'll find out. But you don't really know what 465 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: team you have until you get back from Christmas, and 466 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: even then sometimes it evolved. So what does it mean. 467 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 2: It just means that we played a couple of good 468 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: games in the Virgin Islands and that people are trying 469 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 2: to figure out home road what everybody has working. 470 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 8: And Coach one last thing, I noticed the Minnesota Golden 471 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 8: Gophers beat ranked Indiana last night, and you took them 472 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 8: to overtime a few weeks ago about that. 473 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: Let's let's let's not do transitive property, right, Let's not 474 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: do transit. 475 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 4: Let's let's not poison well. 476 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 2: Saint Thomas lost last night and they they they housed us. 477 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 2: It's the Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, and 478 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: we get the Bear Chris Felika Bear Bets podcast. Of course, 479 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: you see him on Big neon Kickoff and he joins 480 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 2: us here on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, 481 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: we got Friday and Saturday games galore, and they're all 482 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: important ones. Let's start with Troy James Madison as JMU 483 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: is going to lose their coach to UCLA, but not 484 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: before they play for a sun Belt Championship. The Fun 485 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: Belt champions is the Dukes of JMU. They're a twenty 486 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 2: three and a half point favorite and the total is 487 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: only forty seven and a half. Who do you like, Chris? 488 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a this is a game that I 489 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 3: can see getting out of hand very quickly. It seems 490 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 3: like JMU and they're going to bet everything all the 491 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 3: right way in handling the coaching transition and letting Chesney 492 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 3: coach Troy is not the second best team in the Sunbelt. 493 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: Though they're their only conference, it still has divisions. Old 494 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 3: again is the second best team in that league. Oldaminion 495 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: beat Troy by thirty some more points earlier this year. 496 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: This is gonna be a bubble out. I can't see 497 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 3: Troy keeping this close. Everything that my colleague Sammy p 498 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 3: if Barbett says he's got some in there at JMU, 499 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 3: and he tells me that this is this is a 500 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 3: lay in the laugh type of game. So I'm going 501 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 3: at trust Sammy Pee and pick the duke's here. 502 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Let's get to North Texas two lane. 503 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 2: Both schools are losing their coaches. North Texas to Miles 504 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 2: Mounter Oaklam the State tu Lane to Florida. The Mean 505 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: Green are two and a half point favorites. The total 506 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: is sixty seven and a half. This is the American 507 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 2: Athletic Conference, which has been rated by the Big Boys 508 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 2: for their coaches. Again, North Texas two and a half 509 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: point favorite. Who do you like? 510 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: I can see I was a little surprised actually that 511 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: Tulane was a home underdog here two and a half. 512 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 3: I know they got blown out by Ole Miss earlier 513 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 3: in the year, but they didn't beat Duke, and I 514 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 3: think we can maybe see Tulane get the home win 515 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: here a little little minor upset. You've seen these short 516 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: dogs in conference championship weekend the last couple of years. 517 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 3: A lot of them have won outright, I think the 518 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: last the last five years or so, like under conference 519 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 3: co championship game underdogs three points or fewer, or like 520 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: eleven and three outright, it's something ridiculous like that. I 521 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 3: have the note in my bare Bets column that's going 522 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 3: to be posting. But I think if you look at 523 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 3: what Tulane did a few weeks back in a road 524 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: game at Memphis, a good offense. They play really a 525 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: lot of complimentary football, a lot of Jake Rutz left running, 526 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: a lot of quarterback run, a lot of short passes 527 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 3: just to keep the opponent off the field. They can 528 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 3: employ a game plan like that. I think they have 529 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 3: an excellent chance to win, and I like it. I 530 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 3: like the way that the twent administration and John summerl 531 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 3: basically come together for the best to benefit of the 532 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: program and kind of say go go finish what you started. 533 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, give me Twain pull the small home upset here. 534 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: Stug Ottleab show here on Fox Sports Radio. Chris Felika 535 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: joins US Bear Bets podcast as his podcast course. You 536 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: can see him on Big nowon Kickoff. Let's get to 537 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 2: the Big Twelve Championship. Tech welcomes in BYU clients Hockey 538 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 2: will stay Texas team that you know, whoever wins, is 539 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 2: going to be in the College Fotball playoff. If Tech loses, 540 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 2: still probably in the College Fball playoff. So this is 541 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 2: for two Big twelve teams to get in Techa twelve 542 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: and a half point favorite forty nine and a half 543 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 2: is the total. Who do you like? 544 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 3: I just can't see any reason to think that the 545 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 3: result from the first meeting this year is going to 546 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 3: reverse itself. Yeah, it was twenty nine to seven at 547 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 3: very easily could have been much worse than that. Texas 548 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 3: Tech left a lot of points on the board with 549 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: a couple of installed drives in the red zone. And 550 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if Chase roberts BYU's best wide receiver 551 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 3: is going to play. He got hurt in Cincinnati game 552 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 3: with the hamstring injury, didn't play it last week, so 553 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: I don't know the status of him and Without him, 554 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: they're going to have a massive problem to move the 555 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 3: ball and score points. I'd be shocked if Texas Tech 556 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: let this one get through their fingers and blow a 557 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: great opportunity to win the Big twelve wild get to 558 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 3: the coul Turball playoffs. 559 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 2: Georgia Albama for the SEC Championship. George is a two 560 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 2: and a half point favorite totals forty eight and a half. 561 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 3: I like the first half under in this game. That's 562 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: the side I like anytime again. Anytime you see those 563 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 3: favorites under a field goal, I get a little wheezy 564 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: and concerned about wanting to lay points. But if you 565 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: look at the way Alabama has been playing offensively lately, 566 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 3: ty Simpson has been very sloppy with the football and 567 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 3: sacked a lot. They have had trouble finishing off drives 568 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: at scoring points. Second half of that first game in 569 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: the season this year against Georgia, really Georgia defense really 570 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: a really good job of figuring them out and slowed 571 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: them down and shut them down completely. In the second half. 572 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 3: George defense has gotten better, And on the flip side, 573 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: I wonder about Georgia offensive league. They lost their starting 574 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 3: center Drew Bobo last week really struggled. I think they 575 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: had joudred and fifty yards last week against the Georgia 576 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: Tech defense that teams were lighting up left and right. 577 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 3: I can see this being a very slow starting offensive 578 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 3: type games until both offensive strength figure things out in 579 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: the second half. So I'm going to go up first 580 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 3: half under here and it would not surprise me either 581 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: way a winner here. And what I am curious about 582 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 3: is Alabama. If they win, do they go all the 583 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 3: way up to potentially number four to get a first 584 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: round playoff by and if they lose, they become nine 585 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 3: to three. And I know you don't want to fault 586 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 3: a conference championship game a loser, but third loss might 587 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: that break that Florida State loss into the play into 588 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 3: the fray end of the conversation room for a colleg 589 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 3: football at large pers But a lot of storylines here 590 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: in that SEC. 591 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: Game Duke Virginia, the Wahoo's are a four point favorite. 592 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: Total is a high number fifty seven and a half. 593 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: Well, I have joked about this and I don't have 594 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 3: a play on this game. Duke has been a team 595 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 3: that I have been unable to figure out properly all 596 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 3: year long. I've joked about Manny Diaz's phone number being 597 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 3: caller ID blocked in a race from my memory, So 598 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 3: Virginia won and dominated the first meeting of the year. 599 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 3: Be great story Virginia Tony Ella ready to run him 600 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 3: out of town a couple of years ago if they 601 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: could go on here win and to the COAF Football playoffs. 602 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 2: Okay, the Big One on Fox Indiana Ohio State Big 603 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil number one versus number two, 604 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: although I don't I don't think if you pulled most 605 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: people they think Indiana's the second best team in the country. 606 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: But with a win, it becomes hard to argue. Right 607 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 2: to win at Oregon and a win against Ohio State 608 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: in Indianapolis, and they would be the number one seed 609 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 2: head in the College fall Playoff. Ohio State's a four 610 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: point favorite, the totals forty seven and a half. 611 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 3: You hit on something right there that I think is 612 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 3: important in this game, Like if you're Indiana, you are 613 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 3: never going to get another opportunity to go thirteen to zero, 614 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 3: win the Big Ten, be the number one seed in 615 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: the College Football Playoff, and be number one of the 616 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 3: AP Paul like it is arguably the biggest game in 617 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 3: Indiana football history if they can pull the small upset here, 618 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 3: and I think it's a good spot for them psychologically 619 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 3: to be able to do it because you're Ohio State, 620 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 3: you haven't beaten Michigan in forever. The emotional baggage that 621 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: got that game carried, and you finally get the win 622 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 3: in Ann Arbor last week. You have the weight of 623 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: the world off your shoulders. Now you have the college 624 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 3: football playoffs coming up to defending national champion. That's what 625 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 3: you're getting ready for. And here you have kind of 626 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 3: Indiana okay whatever, Big Ten championship. Not not saying they don't care, 627 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 3: but it's like this is like a game that you 628 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 3: could easily see them letting up on. But I don't 629 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 3: know if the leadership of players like downs and such 630 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: or is going to allow that to happen. I think 631 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 3: Indiana if you look at the way they've run the 632 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: ball against some of the better teams this year, Penn State, Oregon, 633 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 3: there was another game in there too that they struggled 634 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 3: really running the ball, and I don't know if they're 635 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 3: going to be able to move it against the highest stake. 636 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 3: He thinks it hasn't allowed more than sixteen points all year. 637 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: I'd lay three and a half a couple of weeks 638 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 3: ago on the look aheadline with the buck Eyes, and 639 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 3: I would continue. I'd lay the four here with Ohio State. 640 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 3: I do think that they are the better team. I 641 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 3: think they'll get the win. 642 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 2: Chris, You've had a great year.

They could have 691 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 6: gone on to bigger and better things, but I want 692 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 6: you to mention when they were an assistant coach. 693 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: Maurice Frederick Winter. Maurice Frederick Winter, his nickname was techs 694 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 2: text Winner Okay, was head coach for a long time 695 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: in college basketball. My dad was an assistant long beach 696 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 2: famously assistant head coach at Kansas State when they went 697 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: to the Final four. But Maurice Frederick tex Winner famously 698 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 2: implemented the triangle offense for Phil Jackson in both Chicago 699 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 2: and with the LA Lakers eleven championships later. Maurice Frederick 700 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 2: Winter tech Winter is my answer. 701 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 5: Now I'm up at number two, and I'm just gonna 702 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 5: say this. I know he was. 703 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 6: I felt like this is where the coaching tree really 704 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 6: kind of started. I'm going Mike Holmgren offensive coordinator to 705 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 6: Bill Walsh with the forty nine ers, because I think 706 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 6: that's when we really started to look at coaching trees, 707 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 6: and then Holmgren's coaching tree was enormous. So give me 708 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 6: Mike Holmgren when he was a member of the forty 709 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 6: nine ers At number two, Sam, I'm. 710 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 8: Going to go with former Iowa quarterback Tom Moore, who 711 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 8: went on, who's still working at eighty seven.

Tom Moore 714 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 8: still worked at eighty seven. Coached Peyton Manning. 715 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 2: Great quarterback coach. Yep, no question. 716 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 4: I think we're being very loose with the term famous. 717 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 4: To be honest, this is how I took this, uh 718 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 4: this game today. People who are famous, who were assistant coaches. 719 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 4: That's a totally different draft.
