Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday, and it's
Speaker 1: a meat Friday at that. Come on in, welcome, stay
Speaker 1: a while if you'd like. We'll dissect the AFC NFC
Speaker 1: title games coming up this weekend eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: D P show email and dress DP at Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. We'll check in
Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs coming up in about thirty
Speaker 1: minutes from now. They're known as Tag Team DC. The
Speaker 1: Brain Supreme and Steve Roland Gibson will join us. Todd,
Speaker 1: you want to give us a little bit of what
Speaker 1: they've given America recently, Taddy, back again, deaf? Would the reckon?
Speaker 1: Now let's begin. Whoop btest Come on now, whoop? That's
Speaker 1: me think this is a whole new generation being treated to.
Speaker 1: Who gets see the Brain Supreme and Steve Rowland Gibson
Speaker 1: aka Tag Team You love scoop arrators? Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: It's it's very catchy and if you have young kids,
Speaker 1: they're probably driving you crazy walking around the house going
Speaker 1: scoop scoop. Uh. All right, So that's coming up a
Speaker 1: little bit later on. He's the new Charger's head coach.
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley once the starting quarterback for my Dayton Flyers.
Speaker 1: Two years he was the starting quarterback with the Dayton Flyer.
Speaker 1: Now he's the head coach of the Chargers. He's about
Speaker 1: thirty nine years of age. You know, there's an expression
Speaker 1: in football about winning press conferences. You know, when the
Speaker 1: team hires a coach and he wows the media in
Speaker 1: his first appearance, we get all excited. Well, Detroit hired
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, and I think he took that to hardy.
Speaker 1: Delivered an introductory Q and A that I'm sure they'll
Speaker 1: remember for quite some time. He said, when his players
Speaker 1: are down, they're gonna bite their opponent's knee caps on
Speaker 1: the way up. I know it's tough talk, but you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes we buy into that. Now he did. He did
Speaker 1: factor in a little humor, sprinkled in a little bit
Speaker 1: of humor. But this is Dan Campbell, the Lions new
Speaker 1: head coach, who they didn't sign to a three year
Speaker 1: deal or four year deal or five year deal. No,
Speaker 1: they had to have him for six years. This team's
Speaker 1: gonna be built on We're gonna kick you in the teeth,
Speaker 1: all right, And when you punch us back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: smile at you, and when you knock us down, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get up. And on the way up, we're gonna
Speaker 1: buite a knee cap off, all right, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: stand up, and then it's gonna take two more shots
Speaker 1: to knock us down, all right. And on the way up,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take your other knee cap and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get up, and then it's gonna take three shots to
Speaker 1: get us down, and when we do, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: another honk out of you before before long, we're they're
Speaker 1: going to be the last one standing, all right. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be the mentality. So that's your new head coach.
Speaker 1: He's not Matt Campbell, popular Iowa State head coach, but
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell did tell his agent to tell the Lions
Speaker 1: that he was Matt Campbell at Ohio, that Iowa State,
Speaker 1: and then his office has a nameplate that reads the Dude.
Speaker 1: So biting kneecaps and the big Lebowski is a pretty
Speaker 1: good start. You know, It's one thing to win a
Speaker 1: press conference, how about you win a game. Because the
Speaker 1: last time I looked, Bill Belichick has lost just about
Speaker 1: every press conference that he has held. Ultimately, Dan Campbell's
Speaker 1: colorful talk will prove to be a lot more entertaining
Speaker 1: if the Lions proved to be entertaining. It was the
Speaker 1: kind of speech where you're watching it and you go,
Speaker 1: anybody buying this? How much is he joking? Is this
Speaker 1: who he is now? I did some research on him
Speaker 1: and former tight end, and you know he was a
Speaker 1: tough guy, tough guy when he played. But I don't
Speaker 1: know how that translates into this is who we are.
Speaker 1: Our identity is, Hey, we're going to be taught. Okay,
Speaker 1: are you gonna be any good? That's what I want
Speaker 1: to know, Like, what is the bigger plan here? This
Speaker 1: sounds like it was out of a movie where not
Speaker 1: the head coach would say this, but maybe the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator would say this, like Campbell, get up there, tell
Speaker 1: them what we're gonna do. We're gonna bite your kneecap okay,
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna bite your knee cap again. Okay.
Speaker 1: I want to know what your philosophy is. Like this
Speaker 1: is good, it's fun to have, it's entertaining, but I'd
Speaker 1: like to know kind of who we are? What kind
Speaker 1: of defense are we playing. Is Matt Stafford gonna be
Speaker 1: our quarterback? That's what I would want to know. But congratulations.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give the lines one win already in
Speaker 1: the press conference category, yes, pol I saw a couple
Speaker 1: of sports media people say that Dan Campbell's perfectly Detroit
Speaker 1: to hard working city, hardworking fan base. What are the
Speaker 1: towns that don't have hard working fan bases and aren't
Speaker 1: hard because I always point out the ones that are hardworking. Chicago,
Speaker 1: that's a good town, hard working people. Is there a
Speaker 1: town that doesn't have hard working people that have coaches
Speaker 1: off should go to? Well? What does Brian Flores say
Speaker 1: when he took over the Dolphins. I mean, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be a blue collar just like my Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be hard work. Uh, we're gonna have fun. Like hey,
Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna be kind
Speaker 1: of reflective of, you know, the city that we represent. Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you a bottle service? What do you like? Okay,
Speaker 1: you coach in San Francisco and you're gonna go We're
Speaker 1: gonna play like San Francisco. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: It's high tech rights? Oh okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: good saved the club and thank you. But like the Steelers,
Speaker 1: you're gonna play Blue Clarers, Steel City. This is who
Speaker 1: we are, Cleveland Browns is who we are. What happens
Speaker 1: if you're like, is there a non hard working city
Speaker 1: where you go? I don't know, you know, We're not
Speaker 1: really a hard work city, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: my team will be that way. If you're a head
Speaker 1: coach in Dover, Delaware, Dover, what is it You're like,
Speaker 1: what's a reputation? Oh? This program brought to you by
Speaker 1: built Barr. Take me up on the offer. Eighteen amazing flavors.
Speaker 1: They got mint, brownie and coconut almond some of my faves.
Speaker 1: Go to builbar dot com into the promo co DP
Speaker 1: for twenty percent off your purchase. So Dan Campbell is
Speaker 1: the So we got one opening and it's your Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: Now the Eagles they picked up Nick Siriani, and Nick
Speaker 1: was one of the big reasons why Philip Rivers went
Speaker 1: to the Colts. You know, he's been an offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he calls his own plays.
Speaker 1: That seems to be the like that's the buzz expression though,
Speaker 1: do you call his own plays? If he didn't call
Speaker 1: his own plays, he shouldn't be getting a head coaching job.
Speaker 1: But Nick Sirianni who I actually thought he won American
Speaker 1: Idol a couple of years ago. And it was Nick
Speaker 1: Fradyani who won American Idol. Not the same person. Not
Speaker 1: the same person. But Nick Siriani is being brought in,
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing that his first job will be can
Speaker 1: you fix Carson Wentz. I'm sure that he is a
Speaker 1: hard working coach going to a hard working city as well. Yes, mclovin,
Speaker 1: I'll present my case later. But I think the Eagles
Speaker 1: won the hiring cycle. I think this is the biggest
Speaker 1: win out of the group, and I have a reason why. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So, and by the way, I just want
Speaker 1: to make clear I've never heard of Nick Siriani three
Speaker 1: days ago. Okay, But but you think I think this
Speaker 1: is a brilliant hire. Okay, you can hold it like
Speaker 1: you you want to tease it? Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I honestly want to tease this, Okay, all right? How
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles won the coaching higher Yes with Nick
Speaker 1: Sirian Siriani. Okay, now, We're one down to one team,
Speaker 1: the Texans, and this is a big decision coming up here.
Speaker 1: There's a lot at stake here with the Texans, Eric B. Enemy,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, the public pressure to hire a minority head coach.
Speaker 1: Will the media be very critical if the Texans hire
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. You have seven openings and you have Robert Salah.
Speaker 1: I guess would be the minority who has been hired,
Speaker 1: and he was hired by the Jets. Eric B. Enemy
Speaker 1: wasn't even on the Texans list wish list to interview,
Speaker 1: and everybody was getting interviewed because it's via zoom. More
Speaker 1: coaches got interviewed this year than any other year in
Speaker 1: NFL history, except for Eric B. Enemy was not going
Speaker 1: to get interviewed by the Texans. Then there was media pressure.
Speaker 1: Then there was Deshaun Watson. Then you had Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: now Alex Smith. These are the quarterbacks who work with
Speaker 1: Eric B. Enemy, with Patrick Mahomes and Alex Smith, and
Speaker 1: they're co signing on him getting an opportunity here. So
Speaker 1: then the Texans finally acquiesced they interviewed Eric B. Enemy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to hire him. But
Speaker 1: what I would want to know if I'm the owner,
Speaker 1: I would want to say to Deshaun Watson, if we
Speaker 1: hire Eric B Enemy, are you willing to stay? Maybe
Speaker 1: you don't want to do that. And here's the problem.
Speaker 1: It's a dangerous precedent because you might be hiring somebody
Speaker 1: that you truly don't think is the right guy for
Speaker 1: the job, but you may have to hire him. The Texans,
Speaker 1: if they can screw it up, they can screw They
Speaker 1: do it and they put themselves in a really delicate
Speaker 1: situation here. And I don't know if they're waiting for
Speaker 1: Eric B. Enemy and his season to end, whether it
Speaker 1: ends this weekend or in a couple of weeks after
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but they're now holding out for Eric
Speaker 1: B Enemy, a candidate that they weren't even interested in
Speaker 1: hiring a couple of weeks ago. And I think that
Speaker 1: bears watching from a variety of angles here and the
Speaker 1: reaction either way, if you hire him, did you want
Speaker 1: to hire him? Did you hire him to keep Deshaun Watson?
Speaker 1: Does Deshaun Watson still want to stay there? If you
Speaker 1: don't hire Eric B Enemy? What does that mean for
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson? There's a lot attached to this, Yes, And
Speaker 1: if I'm Deshaun Watson, I'm like, you know, don't patronize me,
Speaker 1: or appease me, or you try to humor me. He's
Speaker 1: the right guy for the job, But I don't want
Speaker 1: to make some deal with you that you're hiring someone
Speaker 1: that you're not all in on just to make sure
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to another team. Would not
Speaker 1: sit well with me. If I'm Deshaun Watson. Well, you
Speaker 1: didn't include Deshaun Watson in the conversation about who you
Speaker 1: were bringing in as a GM and as a coach.
Speaker 1: Now you're factoring in I guess his opinion on who
Speaker 1: you're bringing in as a head coach. But first of all,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done that to a quarterback who is
Speaker 1: that young. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have said, hey, we're
Speaker 1: going to bring you in. If I don't do that
Speaker 1: for Roethlisberger, Rogers, Brady Breeze, I'm not going to do
Speaker 1: it for you. And then if you bring him in,
Speaker 1: then truly bring him in and listen to him. But
Speaker 1: if not, don't go through the motions. And it sounds
Speaker 1: like that's what they were trying to do, and Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson rightfully called their bluff to say, hey, I don't
Speaker 1: like this. I don't like the feel of this. And
Speaker 1: it feels like if you're bringing in a general manager
Speaker 1: who has ties to the Patriots, could you bring in
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels here, you can and he might say that's
Speaker 1: who I want. But does that make it right? Is
Speaker 1: that going to fix things? And the answer is probably not,
Speaker 1: because this is a fluid, fragile moment right now with
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and the Texans, and that might be as
Speaker 1: big as storyline as we have in football right now,
Speaker 1: because it's larger than just one team, one person. This
Speaker 1: is big, all right club? And you got a poll
Speaker 1: question here. Yeah, we have a few options here, starting
Speaker 1: with who are you rooting for as a Super Bowl matchup?
Speaker 1: We're just discussing this what's the best super Bowl matchup possible?
Speaker 1: And I could put all four down? Is it the
Speaker 1: there's no downside here? You don't think there's like one
Speaker 1: supreme matchup that like Mahomes versus Rogers that stands out
Speaker 1: above or something like that. Well, I think that that
Speaker 1: would be the best when you look at two playing
Speaker 1: at a very high level. You got the MVP this year,
Speaker 1: MVP last year, you got the defending champs. The Bills
Speaker 1: would be America's team. I think people still have a
Speaker 1: hard time, even though he's in a different uniform, rooting
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady. If you got back to another super Bowl,
Speaker 1: it feels like if you wanted to have that golden ticket,
Speaker 1: you would have Kansas City with Mahomes, and you would
Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, two great fan bases.
Speaker 1: And this would be revisiting the very first Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: which was Green Bay against the Kansas Chiefs, which would
Speaker 1: be fun as well. Bring back some of those memories,
Speaker 1: bring back some of the players who are still alive.
Speaker 1: You know that that might be another added element dimension
Speaker 1: to this. But I would say if Buffalo gets in
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady, I don't think you can go wrong.
Speaker 1: I do think people have a hard time rooting for
Speaker 1: Tom Brady even though he's in a different uniform. Rogers
Speaker 1: and the Packers tremendous fan base, people infatuated with Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: the skilled positions. They're defending Super Bowl champs. Can they
Speaker 1: go back to back something that hasn't been done since
Speaker 1: Brady and the Patriots back in the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: What else do you have in which game is more
Speaker 1: likely to be unlow or lopsided. I'm not asking for
Speaker 1: a prediction, but is there which game could you see
Speaker 1: getting away a little bit? It always feels like there's
Speaker 1: one close game, maybe one surprise, and then there's one
Speaker 1: game that's not that good. But both of these point
Speaker 1: spreads are these are pretty competitive games, close games here,
Speaker 1: and hopefully they'll turn out that way. But feels like,
Speaker 1: at least when I remember these AFC NFC title games,
Speaker 1: it felt like one was really interesting, maybe a surprise,
Speaker 1: and the other one wasn't a good game, Yes, Levin Okay,
Speaker 1: and the poll that I've been pitching hard on the
Speaker 1: side of the glasses not been getting the reaction I want.
Speaker 1: I call it the playoff X factor, Paul, Okay, let
Speaker 1: me take a break here. Is this a hot new
Speaker 1: segment X factor? I don't know X playoff X factor
Speaker 1: has people been doing for years, haven't they? I don't remember,
Speaker 1: but I mean, if you, if you say so, so,
Speaker 1: this is the guy that you don't expect to be
Speaker 1: the headline grabber who could decide the game, right, Like
Speaker 1: who we talking about Monday. That's a non quarterback. How
Speaker 1: about we do the Y factor like X or do
Speaker 1: do we do a Z factor? Oh? The Z factor? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Z factor. We don't even farther down that that'th chart,
Speaker 1: the Z factor? Wasn't it? World War Z? Oh, Red Pitt?
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about that movie. My
Speaker 1: daughters and my wife are fascinated with that movie. They
Speaker 1: will watch it if if there's any chance to watch
Speaker 1: World War Z, they watch it. And I have not
Speaker 1: seen it. I have no interest in it because it's
Speaker 1: about like zombies are coming back, because that what it is. McLevin,
Speaker 1: it's yes, and it's like a parable for environmental disaster.
Speaker 1: It's very depressing apocalypse. Yeah, yes, it is it where
Speaker 1: Hot Guy Saves the World? Is that the name of
Speaker 1: the movie? No? Oh yeah, isn't uh Red pitting their law?
Speaker 1: Long haired and whatnot? Yeah, Hot guy saves the world.
Speaker 1: Hot Guy saves the World. It got pretty good reviews,
Speaker 1: like Rotten Tomatoes has it like sixty five percent? That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah. Have you seen the one where Will
Speaker 1: Smith is the last man alive in New York? I'm
Speaker 1: told I think it's legend I am legend. That's depressing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that one either. Yeah that's sci fi.
Speaker 1: See'll do sci fi. No, I don't that one. The
Speaker 1: problem with that one is right away you figure out
Speaker 1: he's all alone in New York City, just him and
Speaker 1: his dog, and you're like, oh, the dog's definitely dying.
Speaker 1: So I turned it off. I can't. I don't like,
Speaker 1: I don't mind watching like, you know, zombie stuff or whatever,
Speaker 1: but if the dog is out there and gets killed,
Speaker 1: it's like this movie. I have no interest in zombie movies.
Speaker 1: I've never seen any of those movies. Those shows Walking Dad,
Speaker 1: you've never seen, never saw an episode, never never saw him, dude.
Speaker 1: You want to know what really freaked me out? One
Speaker 1: time I was watching Walking Dead and I was trying
Speaker 1: to be funny because I was like, I'm watching it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, how are all of these people perfect shots?
Speaker 1: Like they never miss whenever they shoot a gun at
Speaker 1: one of these zombies, They're all perfect. And so I
Speaker 1: tweeted out like, isn't it weird that everybody I'm walking
Speaker 1: Dead is a perfect shot? And some random dude tweeted
Speaker 1: back at me, that's because everyone else, like that's because
Speaker 1: all the bad shots are already dead. Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm grossly underprepared for the zombie apocalypse. I can't do
Speaker 1: anything like that. That's because everyone else is already dead.
Speaker 1: All the bed shuts are already dead. Yes, yes, dipole,
Speaker 1: question which dan that lasts the longest in apocalyptic conditions?
Speaker 1: I'd immediately there's two favorites in this room, and they're
Speaker 1: not in the background. I think there's only one they see.
Speaker 1: I think it's a close call. I think it's Paul.
Speaker 1: Pauli's a favorite. Yeah, but Seedon has been secretly doing
Speaker 1: research for years, have you? So I think you know what?
Speaker 1: I think? If Paul and I were stuck together, we
Speaker 1: would actually balance each other out perfectly, right, because Paul's
Speaker 1: already got like the truck and the cabin and all
Speaker 1: the stuff that I don't have. But I could get you,
Speaker 1: like some clean water and build a shelter if you
Speaker 1: need it, or like start a fire with just about nothing.
Speaker 1: I could do all that stuff. I know somebody who
Speaker 1: I don't want to be with, yes, Todd, Wow, there
Speaker 1: if I try to chat it up with them and
Speaker 1: just make some friendly conversation and let them know yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm no harm to them and just lookally, let's all
Speaker 1: just be eat their own arm. Just get me out
Speaker 1: of here, somebody eat my ears off. Yeah, Paul, it
Speaker 1: seems like the wrong move in those zombie movies is
Speaker 1: to board up the window and hope for the best.
Speaker 1: That seems like where you huddle with your girl, you
Speaker 1: keep hitting the phone as if it's going to come
Speaker 1: back to life. That's why I love that commercial where
Speaker 1: they're the chainsaws. Yes, yeah, why don't we get in
Speaker 1: the cold starting car? No, it's a cemetery. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: then you see the guy who's behind the chainsaw to
Speaker 1: shake in his head. And once again, I don't know
Speaker 1: what that commercials for. I'm assuming it's for car insurance.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. And the zombies that always slide
Speaker 1: like three desk chairs in front of the doors. That's
Speaker 1: gonna keep out a horde of zombies. Yes, I could
Speaker 1: just picture sitting around talking about how are we gonna
Speaker 1: get clean water? Food? And Todd all he's asking about
Speaker 1: it's a bathroom situation and if they have a jersey
Speaker 1: mics we're in the corner or something. That's all I
Speaker 1: really want to know, you know, the way I would
Speaker 1: get Todd fired up. I would say, you know what,
Speaker 1: those guys right there took all the onion bagels, Now
Speaker 1: go get them tied. Where's the tune efficient? Waste the
Speaker 1: onion bagels? Crazy? Crazy? Remember how long Todd teased the
Speaker 1: onion bagel story. It was like for like a whole week.
Speaker 1: It's like, by the way, I gotta get to my
Speaker 1: bagel story. That was so aggravated. It's ridiculous because I
Speaker 1: don't need any more carbs that I already taken. I
Speaker 1: was so upset. Normally, when Todd brings up something like this,
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll listen, but I hope it just fades
Speaker 1: away and he doesn't bring up too many of those stories.
Speaker 1: But then when he does, and then I go, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna let this go. Sometimes you have a craving
Speaker 1: for something that's Friday afternoon, you relax, I don't got
Speaker 1: to stress out of my guests for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: I'm heading home. And you pull him and then you
Speaker 1: find out that exactly what you had in mind to
Speaker 1: eat does not exist at this but that when you
Speaker 1: brought it up Wednesday morning, on a Wednesday morning, and
Speaker 1: then by Friday, I said, all right, go ahead, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you unleashed your wrath on
Speaker 1: the poor woman. Probably you know a high school student
Speaker 1: who is there in the drive through who didn't have
Speaker 1: onion back. You go to a pizza place and they say, oh,
Speaker 1: we're had a pizza today, donnut shop, But no, don't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. You know,
Speaker 1: if they ran out of pepperoni, then I understand that,
Speaker 1: but not pizza. They wouldn't understan they wouldn't run out
Speaker 1: of pizza. Well, I'm exaggering a little bit, but an
Speaker 1: onion bagel to me, Toddy heard somebody's feelings. I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to, Yeah, but you did. You did kind of
Speaker 1: look get a little pale, and like I'll get the
Speaker 1: manager and see maybe there's one left in the back there.
Speaker 1: Twenty one after this, trying to give my opinion, take
Speaker 1: a break here, Uh, this is the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1: you're wondering. The NFL announced that this year's Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in Tampa will host twenty two thousand fans, seventy five
Speaker 1: hundred of which will be vaccinated healthcare workers being given
Speaker 1: free tickets to the game. We got our play of
Speaker 1: the day coming up. We'll settle on a poll question
Speaker 1: stat of the day as well. Mclovin, in the early
Speaker 1: part of this show the first couple of minutes said
Speaker 1: that the Eagles won the hiring contest with all these
Speaker 1: other teams. They brought in Nick Sirianni, the Colts offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: and mclovin. I've given you ample time to make your
Speaker 1: case why the Eagles have made the best hire of
Speaker 1: all of these teams. Okay, you were talking about winning
Speaker 1: the press conference. Yes, the Eagles lost it so badly
Speaker 1: by hiring a Cults assistant that no one's heard of.
Speaker 1: This guy's got to be a genius to hire him,
Speaker 1: because they have to know everyone's gonna be like you
Speaker 1: hired who he might be so impressive and My evidence is,
Speaker 1: look at the final four coaches. Sean McDermott, No one
Speaker 1: knew who that was when he got hired. Andy Reid
Speaker 1: was a quarterbacks coach. I think back in the nineties
Speaker 1: he had a little notoriety. He's a five. Who are
Speaker 1: the other two coaches? Matt Lafleur or I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: they hired him. I never heard of him, and well
Speaker 1: I had heard of him, but I didn't know he
Speaker 1: was that good. Who's the other coach we're missing? Win? Oh,
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians is a little different. I mean he kind
Speaker 1: of was an assystem for years, right, Yes, did he
Speaker 1: have a head coaching job like fifteen years ago. He's
Speaker 1: been around. But the point is like he was in Arizona, yeah,
Speaker 1: head coach. Right. It's the guys that you never heard
Speaker 1: of who are good, like John Harbaugh. So I was thinking, like,
Speaker 1: if they're gonna hire Nick Sirianni, he must have been
Speaker 1: really impressive, right because they know the fan base is like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I also wondered if you have
Speaker 1: the general manager Howie Roseman running this team. Oh, that's
Speaker 1: the other issue, and is he getting somebody who doesn't
Speaker 1: have a big personality that you're taking a little bit
Speaker 1: of a chance on, but maybe you can dictate how
Speaker 1: you mold him as the general manager. That was the
Speaker 1: feeling I got. I don't know Nick Siriani's resume other
Speaker 1: than he was with the Chargers. He's with the Colts,
Speaker 1: and I think he's surprised a lot of people getting
Speaker 1: this job in Philadelphia. Didn't feel like he was on
Speaker 1: the shortlist or top two candidates. But you know, teams
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you what they're thinking as much
Speaker 1: as we want them to, and I applaud them. They
Speaker 1: kept it quiet, and if they got their guy for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, good luck. Because the first order of business
Speaker 1: is can you fix Carson Wentz? And if I'm interviewing him,
Speaker 1: that's the first thing I said, Can you fix Carson Wentz?
Speaker 1: And how do you want to? I have to start
Speaker 1: there because the offensive coordinator and now he's going to
Speaker 1: be a head coach. Can you fix him? Do you
Speaker 1: want to fix him? And then if not, then what
Speaker 1: do you have planned here? That's what I would want
Speaker 1: to know. But if you think they want it because
Speaker 1: they got a guy who's not going to win press conferences,
Speaker 1: good luck. Yeah, I'm club. Well, I was kind of
Speaker 1: trying to be funny a little bit because there was
Speaker 1: this expectation that I'm gonna say, we we're gonna get
Speaker 1: like a big name, like a Josh McDaniels or an
Speaker 1: Eric the Enemy, and then they pull this name seemingly
Speaker 1: out of a hat, out of nowhere. But the Chargers
Speaker 1: did this with Brandon Staley, who will join us coming
Speaker 1: up next hour. That's why I kind of think, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this might be good. You know, it might be a
Speaker 1: hopeful change. Because the Eagles are pretty lost right now.
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? It doesn't seem like whatever
Speaker 1: they're doing is working. The reason why this is such
Speaker 1: a big deal, I mean, the Eagles weren't any good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to be any good
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. It's the Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts situation. That's the reason why people care about
Speaker 1: this job higher. If you didn't have a quarterback controversy.
Speaker 1: Let's say Carson Wentz just got hurt and then he's
Speaker 1: gonna come back, nobody would care about this higher. They
Speaker 1: care about the higher because what it could mean for
Speaker 1: your team if Carson Wentz goes to your team, gets
Speaker 1: traded to your team. But if he stays in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and they try to fix him, all right, we'll watch
Speaker 1: and at some point you'll go, m ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And the reason why we care about the Texans is
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. I mean, if you know, is he in
Speaker 1: play for these other teams that other than that, you know,
Speaker 1: do we really care? I don't have any other players.
Speaker 1: J J. Watt won't be there next year? Does Eric
Speaker 1: b Enemy get the job? If he doesn't get the job,
Speaker 1: then what's the reaction. What's the reaction with DeShawn Watson?
Speaker 1: What's the reaction with the media, what's reaction to players
Speaker 1: around the league? Like there, we're interested in that, but
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I don't think anybody cares other than what's
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz's future? Yeah, McLeman. You know another guy we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about Kevin Stefanski much when he got hired,
Speaker 1: and he's waitning like coach of the year. What's his reputation?
Speaker 1: What have you heard about Cleveland? I know you followed
Speaker 1: the Browns. Uh just that he had he came in
Speaker 1: with high marks, that he was a you know offensive
Speaker 1: minded guy, you know with Mike in Minnesota, but he
Speaker 1: came in and I think had a game plan for
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, and that's the key. He knew what he
Speaker 1: was going to do with his quarterback. He knew what
Speaker 1: he was gonna do with his offense. It got tricky
Speaker 1: with Odell Beckham, who I thought they should have moved
Speaker 1: on before he got injured. I in fact, I would
Speaker 1: still try to move on without him. Great talent, but
Speaker 1: I don't want him on my team. And I think
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski found out who his team was at the
Speaker 1: right time and then they made the playoffs yamploying. I
Speaker 1: was thinking about Eric bi Enemy. I wonder if he's
Speaker 1: ever had a conversation or its futile with Andy Reid
Speaker 1: about being the coach in waiting, because if I were
Speaker 1: him and you could somehow in the next year or
Speaker 1: two or three takeover Patrick Mahomes at age twenty seven,
Speaker 1: that would be more more enticing to me than joining
Speaker 1: any other franchise in the league. And I don't know
Speaker 1: that happens. Sometimes in college where there's a coach in waiting,
Speaker 1: rarely does it ever work out. And Andy Reid's sixty two,
Speaker 1: which I actually doesn't seem that old in coaching years. No,
Speaker 1: and we'll check in with the Chiefs coming up here
Speaker 1: one of the reporters covering this team, and just to
Speaker 1: ask him, has that ever been brought up with Andy
Speaker 1: Reid of how long he plans on coaching? And Belichick
Speaker 1: I think is sixty eight? So Belichick, who knows how
Speaker 1: much longer he's going to coach? But you know, Andy
Speaker 1: Reid at sixty two, I wouldn't want to retire. I
Speaker 1: got a chance to get a few rings here. Why
Speaker 1: would I walk away from this? Here's Eric Bienemy, the
Speaker 1: Chief's offensive coordinator, at a press conference yesterday, ask about
Speaker 1: being a head coach. It's always good to be mentioned
Speaker 1: and having an opportunity to pursue your dreams. And obviously, yes,
Speaker 1: I do want to be a head coach. But when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done with, my job is to
Speaker 1: make sure everything that we're doing right now is not
Speaker 1: to take away from the goals that we're trying to accomplice.
Speaker 1: The only thing that matters today we got better, Okay,
Speaker 1: today we had an opportunity to make sure we can
Speaker 1: take care of situational football it's for a short yardage
Speaker 1: goal line in our third down situations. So now it's
Speaker 1: time for us to go back in and stop. Would
Speaker 1: watch this take and get ready for the next day.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that we're getting out guys ready,
Speaker 1: my own personal business when all that's time to take
Speaker 1: care of itself. That will take care of itself. Great answer.
Speaker 1: Let others talk about you and for you. You don't
Speaker 1: need to. You've got a job to do. You got
Speaker 1: to beat the Buffalo Bills. That's all you care about
Speaker 1: right now. Now. Privately, he's probably hurt, he's probably bothered.
Speaker 1: He's probably sensitive about this, thinking, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: older than Mike Tomlin, I'm an offensive coordinator and I
Speaker 1: can't get a head coaching job here. And it seemed
Speaker 1: like with seven openings I was going to get a chance,
Speaker 1: maybe my pick of where I wanted to go, and
Speaker 1: that hasn't been the case. Here's something keep in mind.
Speaker 1: Should the Buccaneers and Bills play in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's career numbers versus Buffalo. Now, granted there has
Speaker 1: been different personnel through the years. Obviously, he's thirty two
Speaker 1: and three seventy touchdowns, twenty five interceptions and the thirty
Speaker 1: two wins for Brady versus Buffalo are the most by
Speaker 1: any quarterback against a single opponent all time. Stat of
Speaker 1: the day saut of the day, that past out of
Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day, here comes that what
Speaker 1: stat of the day. Took a lot of guts to
Speaker 1: leave the AFC East. If you're Tom Brady, you know
Speaker 1: you don't get to play the Jets. Although the Dolphins
Speaker 1: got better in Buffalo obviously is but you know, he
Speaker 1: racked up a lot of wins there. I gets some uh,
Speaker 1: some shaky teams. There, a couple of phone calls in here.
Speaker 1: Uh Christa in Colorado, Christa, welcome to the program, Krista,
Speaker 1: that's not the way to start. Kennedy in Kentucky, Kennedy,
Speaker 1: welcome into the program. Hey Dan, thanks, yeah, just quickly.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're overreacting and looking too much into
Speaker 1: these press conferences. Just look at back last last year,
Speaker 1: Adam Gase, that was horrific. That was a disaster. And
Speaker 1: then you know Kevin Stefanski, you know, Joe Judge really solid.
Speaker 1: So I think it actually matters. And I got one
Speaker 1: last thing. Okay, scoop, come on now. Scoop is all right,
Speaker 1: thanks guys, Thank you. Kennedy tag team will join us
Speaker 1: coming up next hour. Todd has never been more excited.
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm just very very pumped. Yeah. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's music in a group that has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with you know, necessarily today they're back. They're famous from
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, exactly, since I kind of live
Speaker 1: in the eighties, eighties and nineties. Yes, Jeff and Detroit. Hey, Jeff, congratulations,
Speaker 1: you got a new head coach with your lines. That's funny. Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, listen, I'm not drinking a kool aid.
Speaker 1: I promise you. I'll say that every year, though, Yes
Speaker 1: you do. The guy's gonna be riding downward with a motorcyclist.
Speaker 1: Is here on fire, Lions, Jersey on and everything. Man,
Speaker 1: I can I can see it now. Hey, listen, I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you though, they're not gonna depress me
Speaker 1: right now, because I honestly I want to see what
Speaker 1: happens out on the field. I want them to get
Speaker 1: it together. I need to know who's going to be
Speaker 1: my quarterback. I mean all of these things because I
Speaker 1: honestly believe that Matt Stafford is not going to be
Speaker 1: there at the beginning of next season for just some
Speaker 1: strange reason. I honestly believe that. So I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not buying into it. I'm not getting ready to break
Speaker 1: the kol A. Listen, this Super Bowl contest coming up.
Speaker 1: I promise you if Casey and green Day gets in,
Speaker 1: it's one person who really and truly wins. How would
Speaker 1: you love to be Jake from State Farm for that
Speaker 1: super Thank you? Jeff's the man. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna reach out to Jake from State Farm.
Speaker 1: I think you said to join us next week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but thank you Jeff, and good luck with your lions. Yes,
Speaker 1: if it's a zoom call, you know, Jakes to be
Speaker 1: doing a party curls for the girls. Definitely, Definitely. And
Speaker 1: I asked Aaron Rodgers, is Jake from State Farm Natural?
Speaker 1: And Aaron said he would look into it because I
Speaker 1: don't know. I got some suspicions there about Jake from
Speaker 1: State Farm. By the way, the Duttons are back Yellowstone.
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about you know, there's three seasons,
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner, You'll love it. You can sign up at
Speaker 1: Peacock TV dot com stream all three seasons. Now we
Speaker 1: will take a break. We're gonna check in with the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Will do so next here on The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday
Speaker 1: morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on the
Speaker 1: Peacock app. More phone calls coming up. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we settled on a poll question, mclovin, didn't we
Speaker 1: you know? I put up the poll question, which Super
Speaker 1: Bowl matchup do you want to see? And there's a runaway,
Speaker 1: like a strong runaway leader, Bill's Packers, the small town.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, I mean maybe that fits our audience.
Speaker 1: But people want to see the Bills. Okay, sure, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady would like to see. Well, he didn't want to
Speaker 1: see this version of the bills. He likes seeing the
Speaker 1: previous twenty years with the Buffalo Bills. There were only
Speaker 1: three reporters allowed to go to the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, and one of those joins us now Nate Taylor,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs beat writer for the athletic Nate, thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. What can you supply as far as an
Speaker 1: update on let's start with Patrick Mahomes on what you
Speaker 1: saw and what you expect the next couple of days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you Dad for having me on. It was a
Speaker 1: pretty normal day considering that Patrick Mahomes is in the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. But there's real strong optimism within the organization
Speaker 1: that Mahomes will be cleared either today or tomorrow out
Speaker 1: of the concussion protocol, which will allow him to start
Speaker 1: in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. I watched Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes for the early portion of practice, still through the
Speaker 1: ball with a lot of pace, a lot of accuracy.
Speaker 1: He was working on his footwork. Fans have some questions
Speaker 1: about the left big toe injury that he had against
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, but he looked to move pretty well.
Speaker 1: From my vanished point, it'll just be a matter of
Speaker 1: how much can he increase his speed in his obviously
Speaker 1: acceleration if he needs to scrimble out of the pocket
Speaker 1: if he does play on Sunday. But all signs are
Speaker 1: pointing to him getting the chance to lead the Chiefs
Speaker 1: to another Super Bowl at Arrowhead stadium. I just don't
Speaker 1: know if Mahomes, from what I'm told, didn't have a concussion.
Speaker 1: But once you're placed into concussion protocol, nate and you
Speaker 1: still have to go through it correct And the easiest
Speaker 1: way to explain this to fans is, you know, he
Speaker 1: did not answer all the questions when he was in
Speaker 1: the blue team or when he was in the locker
Speaker 1: room correctly, which allowed, you know, a neurologist to basically
Speaker 1: say that, you know he's having issues, so let's put
Speaker 1: him in the protocol even if we don't fully diagnose
Speaker 1: him with the concussion. Now, Andy Reid, on a couple
Speaker 1: of occasions, Dan has not said full on that Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes had a concussion. Maybe we'll learn that sort of
Speaker 1: after the factor, after the seasons though over. But once
Speaker 1: you're in the protocol, you have to go through every
Speaker 1: step that means obviously balanced testing. He has to be
Speaker 1: seen by both the chiefs medical staff and an independent neurologist.
Speaker 1: Both of those parties have to clear him, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna have through a rigorous amount of test work because
Speaker 1: after every practice, every workout, you're sort of given instructions
Speaker 1: on how you wore mentally from your baseline back in
Speaker 1: the preseason. Again, all these things look to be taking
Speaker 1: care of themselves in an orderly fashion. And for the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes should be on the field if he doesn't
Speaker 1: have any concussion like symptoms that sort of come back
Speaker 1: to him as a setback. What about Clyde Edwards Hilaire's availability.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play then. I think he's practiced
Speaker 1: the last two days. He is expected to practice today
Speaker 1: at practice. Look, he would have been a fifty fifty
Speaker 1: sort of chance last week, and I think Andy Reid
Speaker 1: and the medical staff made the right choices toward to
Speaker 1: tell the rookie, Hey, let's wait and see if we
Speaker 1: can get to the AC championship game. He had his
Speaker 1: best game of the season against the Buffalo Bills one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one rushing yards. Sure, if he's going
Speaker 1: to give that level of production on Sunday, but he
Speaker 1: is another weapon, particularly as a receiver too, in that
Speaker 1: Andy Reid screen game. So I think the Chiefs will
Speaker 1: have both of their star players in the backfield. It's
Speaker 1: just a matter of how many touches will Clydewardshilaire get
Speaker 1: and how effective can we see from him early on
Speaker 1: in the game. What do I take away from the
Speaker 1: Eric bi ennemy situation about getting a head coaching position,
Speaker 1: because I thought he would have his choice here, Nate,
Speaker 1: Now we're down to one and it's still open. What
Speaker 1: do you is your sense that b enemy gets this job.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. That's still kind of up in the ear.
Speaker 1: I feel like the Houston Texans have not really floated
Speaker 1: anything much at all about where they're looking in terms
Speaker 1: of a head coaching vacancy. But overall, in the big
Speaker 1: picture of the league, it's an embarrassment that Eric bynamey
Speaker 1: is somehow overqualified or not qualified enough, or does he
Speaker 1: call the plays? But you know he's under Andy Reid,
Speaker 1: how much you know? True? You know credit goes to
Speaker 1: him for the development of Patrick Mahomes. So in the
Speaker 1: Chiefs organization, what I've heard a lot was last year
Speaker 1: it was a lot of anger, a lot of frustration
Speaker 1: as to why Eric b Nam was not given one
Speaker 1: of these head coaching jobs, and sort of they were
Speaker 1: able to sort of use that as Parkley some motivation
Speaker 1: for him when they went out and won the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: where they felt like, Okay, now he can go into
Speaker 1: these interviews the next year and sort of say, hey,
Speaker 1: I've done everything that could be asked of me as
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. I've helped Patrick Mahomes, I've won us
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Guys like Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: credit him a ton for their own development and their
Speaker 1: professionalism since they came into the league, So everybody knows
Speaker 1: he's a true leader. This year, it's utter confusion and
Speaker 1: just disappointment for the fact that Eric b Enemy is
Speaker 1: a candidate that should be taken with serious consideration. It
Speaker 1: is kind of appalling that NFL owners have not seen
Speaker 1: the same things that you and I see, Dan and
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks ago, Andy Reid when
Speaker 1: it was starting to get to that week seventeen news
Speaker 1: cycle of hey, how's your guy gonna do this year?
Speaker 1: What do you want from him? Where do you think
Speaker 1: he could go? Andrey was pretty blunt and putting it
Speaker 1: on the owners. It's an owner's issue. It is an
Speaker 1: owner situation, and even Clark Hunt can't get some owners
Speaker 1: in the league his own peers to call him to
Speaker 1: see why Eric b Name is a right choice to
Speaker 1: be a head coach. I think about the example last
Speaker 1: year where Jerry Jones and Clark Hunt did did not
Speaker 1: talk and therefore aer b name was not given an
Speaker 1: interview request from the Dallas Cowboys. Now they went their
Speaker 1: own direction with Mike McCarthy and we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 1: But that sort of explains the issue at home. Not
Speaker 1: even a respected owner in the league like Clark Hunt
Speaker 1: can sort of sway or sort of give advice to
Speaker 1: other owners in the league about why Eric b Nime
Speaker 1: should be a viable option to lead a football team.
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this though, Nate Andy reach sixty two,
Speaker 1: has he talked about a timeframe of how long he
Speaker 1: coaches and is there a chance that And I don't
Speaker 1: know why Andy would step down given what he has,
Speaker 1: But with Eric Bienemy, is there a chance that Hey
Speaker 1: may not get this job? You're the coach in waiting
Speaker 1: here if something were to happen, and that would take
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Because I agreed Dan, then Eric BnB,
Speaker 1: I think would be the coach in line to follow
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. The problem is, you know, when Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: signed his ten year extension, he got pretty much clarence
Speaker 1: from Andy Reid that I ain't going anywhere man like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be your coach for the for the
Speaker 1: foreseeable future, right. Andy Reid basically told me back in
Speaker 1: the summer he might do he might do he might
Speaker 1: do this until he's seventy, which conno takes you through
Speaker 1: most of the contract extension with Patrick Mahomes that will
Speaker 1: last to twenty thirty two. So as long as Andy
Speaker 1: Reid has good health, as long as he's still on
Speaker 1: the cutting edge of innovation in terms of offensive play
Speaker 1: calling and play design, and obviously he has the talent
Speaker 1: around him from the front office, I don't see how
Speaker 1: any read leaves within the next five years. And he
Speaker 1: could honestly push this to seventy because he sees the
Speaker 1: success that Bill Belichick has had and a lot of
Speaker 1: people need to realize that both of these guys are
Speaker 1: of a certain age and they're still really, really successful
Speaker 1: given all the younger coaches coming into the league trying
Speaker 1: to come after them. Nate, good stuff, thanks for visiting
Speaker 1: with us, and have fun this weekend. Thank you, sirs.
Speaker 1: Should be quite a blast. I hope it's a I
Speaker 1: hope it's a classic. Ope it's another ASC Championship classic.
Speaker 1: He's Nate Taylor. He covers the chiefs for the athletic
Speaker 1: and was one of three reporters, only three reporters who
Speaker 1: are able to go to practice. Yeah. I wondered about
Speaker 1: that with Andy Reid, but you're sixty two. I'm not
Speaker 1: leaving anytime soon. I mean, his next stop will be
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. There's there'd be no reason to
Speaker 1: step down unless it's health related. I wonder if you
Speaker 1: can make Eric enemy the assistant head coach, like I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can elevate him within the
Speaker 1: organization and maybe that shines a different light on him
Speaker 1: with these other teams. Maybe make him one of the
Speaker 1: highest paid or the highest paid coordinator. Just something that says,
Speaker 1: if you're another organization, Andy Reid has elevated him even higher,
Speaker 1: which seems it seems crazy because you have Mahomes and
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Travis Kelsey who talked glowingly about him, and
Speaker 1: you have Andy Reid who says the same thing. Something's there, something,
Speaker 1: something's missing. But who would have thought that. I still
Speaker 1: go back when I told you the guy that the
Speaker 1: dnets prior to the start of the show. It had
Speaker 1: to be over two weeks ago. I said, man, I'm
Speaker 1: hearing Eric b enemy it's gonna get frozen out. And
Speaker 1: I remember mcleve and going why why, I go, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just my source said, he's hearing that
Speaker 1: the enemy may get frozen out. Yeah. Andy, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want to fix a quarterback, that's the first
Speaker 1: name you think, right, I would think so if I'm
Speaker 1: going to keep that quarterback, now it's it's I mean,
Speaker 1: this is it's a big decision. And then Deshaun Watson's
Speaker 1: going to have a decision to make after them coming up.
Speaker 1: Tag team. Give it to me again, Ton Whoop. That
Speaker 1: is our scoop. There it is, and we'll talk to
Speaker 1: the Chargers new head coach, a former Dayton Flyer
