We've got 9 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: a whole lot to get into today. We will talk 10 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: about your LSU Tigers playing for the National championship later on, 11 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: but right now, we must talk about the new head 12 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: coach of the Dallas Cowboys. I was at the press 13 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: conference Wednesday when it happened. I will be talking to 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy in an interview that I'll do for TV 15 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: later on today. So I'm gonna ask you guys also, 16 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: But what's what's something I should ask him? But let 17 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: me start off with your impressions and ask you both 18 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: a two part question. One what did you like about 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: the hiring? And two? What's one question you have about 20 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: the hiring bre you start, I'll start us off. The 21 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: one thing I liked about it. I mean, I like 22 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: multiple things about it, but the one thing I liked 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: about it is I feel like he can come in 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: here and he can get back to that next level. 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean he's had you know, Brett Farve, he's had 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He's had quarterbacks under his tutelage that has 27 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: played at extremely high levels. I mean, Brett Farr was 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: already that guy when he got there, but Aaron Rodgers, 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: he drafted him in there and he got him to 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: where he is now before he had left. So I 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: feel like he can do that same thing to Dak Prescott, 32 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: get him his game to a next level. Every year 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: we've seen Dak since his rookie year, he's improved, he's improved, 34 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: and now under his tutelage, I think he'll be able 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: to take that to the next level and hopefully get 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: over that. I mean, in this decade has been pretty 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: much a decade of just mediocrity. We went in there, 38 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, we won a division, we lost, we came 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: in last place in the division, and we went to 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs. We couldn't get past that Divisional round. We 41 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: have a guy that's coming in. He's proven, he's won 42 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: super Bowls, he's been there. He was a Green Bay 43 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: for thirteen years. I feel like nine years straight. He 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: went to the playoffs. So this is a guy that's proven, 45 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: he can go into the NFL. He knows what's going on, 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: what to take this team to the next level, and 47 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: I think he'll be able to do that. Yeah, I 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: like to hire because the same thing you said, I think. 49 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: I think he'll really be a great help to Dock. 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: And also like the fact that he had been sitting 51 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: on the side, so he was he was successful as 52 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: a head coach, won a Super Bowl. He's sitting on 53 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: the side, he's watching the change of the game, he's 54 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: watching it on fold. He hires a guy to come 55 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: in and practically live with him, to do analytics and 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: figure out how the game is changing and how he 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: can be successful in it. And now we have them, 58 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: all right, So so we will be the first people 59 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: to see, yeah, if that works or if it doesn't. 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: All right, back to the second part of the what's 61 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: one question you have about the hiring Danny start? My 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: question is control. I mean, so we talked about Aaron 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: Rodgers mentioned that he thought that McCarthy want to go 64 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: somewhere where hed have a lot of input in how 65 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: much control is he going to have here with the Cowboys. 66 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: Everybody understands that Jerry has a big voice and Stephen 67 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: has a big voice in the organization. So I'm just 68 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: is intriguing to see how this will play out when 69 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: he has something that he wants that might not go 70 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: inline with what they want. That is a great question. 71 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: And I was listening to the podcast at James Slater 72 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: of NFL Network and her producer Bobby belt Have They 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: spoke with Andrew Brant, who was on the business side 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: in Green Bay and they hired Mike McCarthy, and he 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: said he had gotten two phone calls from NFL clubs 76 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: asking about Mike. He said the Cowboys were not one 77 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: of them. And in the conversations he had with the people, 78 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: he had been told that Mike did not want to 79 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: handle the draft, didn't want to hand he just wanted 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: to coach. That Hey, you got personnel, people are that's fun. 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: But he wanted to actually coach, which I thought, well, 82 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: that fits totally into you know, what they were looking 83 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: for and how they like to operate into me. If 84 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: you can, let Will McClay where kids magic, You'll be okay. Yeah, 85 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean he's been hitting in drafts. Yeah, you're gonna 86 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: be okay. He's been hitting me. When that pressure is 87 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: on you and then you coaching and all of a 88 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: sudden it's not working out. You know that that I 89 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: just want to coach. Mentality turns into hold, I need 90 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: to figure out how how I'm gonna drive my boat myself, right. 91 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't want somebody else driving the plane. And I'm 92 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: the one getting fired over it because because you think 93 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: it'll come to a point where he's like, you know, 94 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta do this my way. I don't know, man, 95 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: the person's high. People, it's a new and all that stuff, 96 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: and people got some years to get the nah jade. 97 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: She got fired because it was they were under the 98 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: assumption assumption that we had enough to win. We still 99 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: so the assumption is we still have enough to win, 100 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: especially over the top now because we have a proven 101 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: head coach, so pressure than it could have seen like 102 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: go six and ten, see what happens. One of the 103 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: things that that I have admired about Will McClay and 104 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: I know Will going back to his days with the 105 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: Dallas Desperadoes when Desperadoes were on NBC and we were 106 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: doing games and got to know Will. There Will talks 107 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: to the coaches. What is it you like? So, Barry, 108 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: you tell me, as my defensive backs coach, what are 109 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: the guys that you're looking for? Danny, you're my offensive 110 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver coach? Tell me what type? Is there? A 111 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: certain height? Is there certain types of what what are 112 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: you looking for in the guys that you want? So 113 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: Will takes that information in and as he's looking at 114 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: the draft, you know he's gonna bring you all right, Danny, 115 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: here the guys you like. Also, here's some guys here 116 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: we think can play. Let's get in here and check. 117 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: So so when he's doing it, it's not just want 118 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: to say this is my assystem, this is what I think. Bam, 119 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: you take it. There is a collaboration. I mean, there's 120 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: two guys who know Will personally. Yeah, we definitely understand 121 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: the work ethic and how how it happens, right, And 122 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy will appreciate that. That's that that's 123 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: just my feeling. That's something I'll maybe check with him. 124 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: So I ask you, now, look, what's one question you 125 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: have about by he His was control? What's yours? I'm 126 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: definitely a hundred percent what you want to control. I 127 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: don't know what's something with that, But if we're going 128 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: on another direction, I'm gonna have to go special teams. 129 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, me and you talked about it earlier, but um, 130 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: you know his whole tenure in Green Bay. I think 131 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 1: they were the best break they had in their special 132 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: teams was maybe twenty eighth twenty sevens around those lines. 133 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: And we've seen what special teams can do here. I mean, 134 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: they struggled a lot this season and it hurt and 135 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: same games. It pretty much lost us one game in 136 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: New England. So I want to see how he takes 137 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: this special team's approach. If they're gonna bring in guys 138 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: like straight core guys like how New England does, like 139 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: the Matt Slaters and those guys, or are they just 140 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: going to do it where you know his back commedia, 141 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: let me get a rookie in here to do this 142 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: or to that. But I want to see how how 143 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: he takes special teams. Does he take it hard or 144 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: is it just it's just a part of the game. 145 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: I will have a that that is going to be 146 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: one of the questions I asked Mike McCarthy when I 147 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: sit down for my TV interview with him later today. 148 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: Rick Goslin writes the Special Teams rankings every year. Rick 149 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Goslin Hall of Fame, a writer in the NFL and 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: Shrine and media wing in the NFL Football Hall of Fame. 151 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: And Mike McCarthy's Packers finished last three times and Special 152 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: Teams twenty ninth one once and thirty first and another. 153 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: I think six team might have been the highest they got. 154 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: So through the years, I've been good friends with Lance Allen, 155 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: who's the NBC sports director for in Milwaukee. He hosted 156 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: the Mike McCarthy TV show for over a decade, and 157 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: so I'd asked him about that. It's like, does he 158 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: not care about supposing to get me the inside? He said, well, 159 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: says two part question says probably was a little bit 160 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: loyal to Sean Slocum too long as Special Teams coach. 161 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: And then he said, remember Ted Thompson is the guy 162 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: picking the players, and Ted Thompson was pretty much always 163 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: giving him a young roster and a lot of those 164 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: young guys were on special teams and you guys know, 165 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: so let's go here then. So we just spoke about 166 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: will and we know historically here we have not brought 167 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: in guys that are core guys. Right, We've shaped them. 168 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: I was a core guy, but we shaped them. And 169 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: I was an undrafted free agent, so they we hadn't 170 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: really made big free agent pickups for those type of 171 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: guys and then giving them contracts for I'm gonna stay here. 172 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Is that going to change now? We still have pretty 173 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: much the same people picking the players. Is are they 174 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: gonna listen to McCarthy if the supposed team coach that 175 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: he hires come in and say, hey man, we need 176 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: five core guys. And I have these guys from Arona 177 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: League that I'll play with our coach, and these are 178 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: the guys that I want to be here. I'm right 179 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: there in the church with you, right there. Okay, I'm 180 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: sitting there right there with you and that whole thing 181 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: of and I go back to what you're talking about, 182 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: that mastermind that he had for a year. As you 183 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: did your deep die, did you look back into what 184 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: you didn't do in special teams in Green Bay? And 185 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: are you going to change your philosophy, and is that 186 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: something you go to Will McClay about talking about, Hey, 187 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: look we need we need a match later, we need 188 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: a Larry Izzo, you know, we need something. We need 189 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: guys that don't play offense or they are teams players. 190 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: They're playing all four phases and their production is super 191 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: high and they are staples here. So when other people 192 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: come in, they know that these are core guys and 193 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: these are the leaders of our team. And that's howe 194 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: the oran is it Devin Hester time? I mean, look 195 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: at what Devin Hester get throughout his career in terms 196 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: of making impact. And you know, yeah, he was a receiver, 197 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: running back and you know, every now and then they 198 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: ran some stuff for but for the most part, his 199 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: burn right, his value was all right, it comes to kickoff, 200 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: it comes to punt and you know what look out. 201 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: So that's I think three of us are right here 202 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: together and stepon special teams is an area where the 203 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys we basically go in and lose it every single week. 204 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: That can't strip it. It simply cannot happen. And if 205 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: McCarthy has done this big mastermind, he's had to know 206 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: that that was an issue. But how does he fix it. 207 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: How does Will McClay how did they as? Because this 208 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: is something all everybody can get in the room and 209 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: get better at this. And I'm the belief that, Okay, 210 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: maybe you get a receiver that is a special team's 211 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: core guy and Mike being the offensive guy. Okay, you 212 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: you and whoever the receiver coach you bring in, you guys, 213 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: go fix it. John Fossil's going to be his um 214 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: special teams coach. You know. The Rams put it out 215 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: on Twitter. He was going to the Cowboys. They say 216 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: good luck and then the punter Hecker was like, no, 217 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: But I had a coaching buddy of mine who was 218 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: with him and at another NFL stop and he said, 219 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: Bones is good. He spoke highly me. This is a 220 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: guy who does not give give out praise, you know, unwillingly, 221 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: and he said Bones is really good. He said he 222 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: will fit here. And so when it comes to teams, 223 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: coach just to gone with special teams. So a lot 224 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: of people don't really understand the type of player that 225 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: it takes to play special teams. Right, So when you 226 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: say the young guys, and they made up of young players. 227 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: When they come in, these are guys who got a 228 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: running back who gets drafted in the third round throughout 229 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: college has never played special teams, right, but he's your 230 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: third running back, So now the special teams coaches have 231 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: to find a way to teach him something that he's 232 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: never done. And then you put him out on the 233 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: field and you get that production of a block run 234 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: and not being able to make a and that type 235 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: of So so when we say that the young guys, 236 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. I'm talking about the slaters 237 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: like you mentioned that. And then here's another question I have. 238 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember Bill Belichick in a special they 239 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: were talking about Lawrence Taylor in the football like, how 240 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: you know how Lawrence played special teams parcels when he 241 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: was here, he had de Marcus where he had guys 242 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: playing special teams, Like okay, yeah, you're an integral player, 243 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: but we need you to play special teams as well. 244 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: Can McCarthy, you know, start Jedi mind tricking dude to say, 245 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: let me tell you no, no, no, this ain't this 246 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: not that error. Remember what Daz was a plaint return 247 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: to a special things important. But some of those guys 248 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: you don't want to have out to remember Sean where 249 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: it was out there that that ended. Some of those guys, 250 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: are not you a great pass rusher. Don't put them 251 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: out don't do not put them out there because because 252 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: you will get cut. You know what I'm saying, all 253 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: that type of stuff. Don't do that. Okay. So so 254 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: those are things that when we talked about, Okay, he's hired, 255 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: here's what happened. Now what will be? That's kind of 256 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: my big thing about what will be? What's next. Aaron Rodgers, 257 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: quarterback of the Packers, had this to say about Mike 258 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: McCarthy with the Cowboys and his thoughts and when you 259 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: talked about the whole control question. And we've had a 260 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: lot of success down there, and I know that I 261 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: think that that was probably one of the reasons. You know, 262 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: we've obviously won Super Bowl there, but we won some 263 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: some big games down there over the years. So I'm 264 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: not surprised that, you know, Jerry had infatuation with Mike 265 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: because you know, we've had some really good performances. Um, 266 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought maybe he would go somewhere 267 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: we're head, maybe some GM opportunity as well, But I'm 268 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: happy for him. I sent him a text sent me 269 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: a text back that was the most shady interview. Yeah, 270 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: we had a lot of success. You shoot at the 271 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: cal he put on the way feel it was fired 272 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: because when we came back from that game where you 273 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: got fired, the das could thing like he doesn't playful, 274 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: just sluck that whole interview. And then I shot him 275 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: a text he respond to, all we're good. Yeah, we're good. 276 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: You're not good. You're not getting no opportunities up there 277 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: the BGM by the way, Mike. But the control thing 278 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: is that So so when Jerry was talking on O's interview, 279 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: he was saying, how you know that's a misconception. How 280 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: everybody thinks you know how I'm this is it. I'm 281 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: asking you knew it. I'm asking you. Look okay, old 282 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: business partner of mine once said time time will either 283 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: expose you or promote you. What have we seen over time? 284 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: Jerry's involved. Jerry came in here in his initial press 285 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: conference in nineteen eighty nine said I'm gonna be in 286 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: charge of everything from jockson socks. He is going to 287 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: be involved. One time, when I was doing the radio 288 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: show then on Fridays one oh five three the Fan 289 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: with Jerry and we went into the whole you know, 290 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: why don't you hire a gen thing? And Jerry's basically said, look, 291 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: all that person is gonna do is gonna be in 292 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: a way because guess what you got to come through me? 293 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: And you guys go to church. You know the old 294 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: thing that the saying when Jesus said the only way 295 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: through the Father was through me. So he don't think 296 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: he don't think he can change at all. He has 297 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: seventy seven. I want you to though, listen. So so look, 298 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: if Mike McCarthy comes in here, turns the team around. 299 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: Jerry's a great Jake GM and he should continue doing 300 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: what he's doing moving forward. Would you say yes? Yes? No, Look, 301 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of people believe that 302 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: Jason never had any saying anything. That's not true. That's not, 303 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: that's not, that's not. I always said Jason, Jason would 304 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: have been a good mob boss because he always made 305 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: sure he looked clean. The whole dance thing. Come on, 306 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: now you knew he wanted he got Jerry got look clean, 307 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: Terry Lewis gets got Come on, now the movie it 308 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: is what it is. So yes, he was. He was 309 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: as good as Joe and Irish. Somebody said not me people, Jerry, 310 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: you know j is coming here. It is what it is. 311 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's so. So can Mike McCarthy get 312 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: in here and tell Jerry and Bendy's here or something. Yes, 313 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: as much as Jason, Jerry's here, like DA has to go, 314 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: he was also the guy to go, hey man, we 315 00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: need to help. We gotta go get him Mark Cooper. 316 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean, Jason Garrett did not. He was not just 317 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: some puppet in the quarter that people think. Jerry is 318 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: going to be willing to listen to me. That's something 319 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: people have always said. He's going to be willing to listen. 320 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: But he's going to have it. You're not just going 321 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: to sit around here and draft the player, have a trade. 322 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: And Jada no, really, oh I didn't know. I mean 323 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: we heard, we've heard about the Johnny Manzel thy where 324 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to grab Johnny Manzel and Steven and Will 325 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: mcclayre like no, no, no, Zach Martin and then Jerry's 326 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: and I always thought this was the craziest thing.

I never sat at a table for 379 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: a press conference, so excuse me. Um. Second thing, I 380 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: should have brought my type copy and notes like Jerry did. 381 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: I got my little I was trying to be slick 382 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: and slip us in on you, but I just want 383 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: to say thank you to so many different people. I 384 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: will start off with you know, this past year has 385 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: been a year of reflection. My wife said I won't 386 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: make it through ten words. I think I got to 387 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: about six, but reflection of just what a blessed man 388 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: I am, great moments that I've been a part of. 389 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: You know, I'm married the love of my life. Wife. 390 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: My wife is the love of my life. You know, 391 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: we have beautiful children, come from a blessed family, you know, 392 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: and professionally was able to lift the Lombardi Trophy. But 393 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: I do didn't need to tell a story about Saturday 394 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: night when I was here on the interview and here 395 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: I am sitting across the table Stephen, Jerry Jones, Jerry Jr. 396 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: You know, Will McClay, Todd Williams, and Jerry's telling a 397 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: story about the purchase of the Dallas Cowboys. And at 398 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,239 Speaker 1: the end of the story, he leans over to me 399 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: and he grows him by the forearm and reaches out 400 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: to shake my hand. He says, and you need to 401 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: be the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. So that's Mike 402 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: McCarthy's opening press conference on Wednesday, and you are in 403 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: the players logic, Danny McCray, Barry Church, former Cowboy players. 404 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm knew, he scrugs. A long time media remember covering 405 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: this team, since Jimmy was here. I cover. Jimmy covered 406 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: Barry Switzers, Campbell Parcel Day and Jason Garrett. Your initial 407 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: thoughts about seeing Mike McCarthy and hearing what he said, 408 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: Danny Starter, I liked him. Man. You could tell that 409 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: the emotion was genuine, and Jerry and them did everything 410 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: they possibly could to show him that they really wanted 411 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: to come and he and he believed that he embraced it, 412 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: and you could see that through his emotion coming out Barry, 413 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: I think for sure. I mean you could tell us 414 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent genuine and the guy, I mean, he 415 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: was getting choked up in there. I mean you can 416 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: tell he was fighting back the tears. But I think 417 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: it's a guy's ready to go back to work. Like 418 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: he said, he has been off for a year. He 419 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: liked me and Danny were talking about during the break, 420 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: he basically went home and just studied his craft. He 421 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: went back to school, had somebody come in due to 422 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: analytics of football sort of game of football doesn't pass 423 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: him up, and he's ready to go. And I think 424 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna be that kind of that spark plug that 425 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: this team needs to get over to hump hopefully. I 426 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: loved it. For a decade. We heard so many robotic 427 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: press conferences from Jason Garrett, who people will tell you 428 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: if you knew Jason, Jason had a really great personal 429 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: but he never wanted to give you that, and I 430 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: think that affected him with the fans. Fans started connected 431 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: with Mike McCay. Here's the guy who's crying because he 432 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: was so you know, he wanted the opportunity. Here's a 433 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: guy that this teleision shows you how much he loves 434 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: his family. Here's a guy that, in my opinion, was 435 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: letting you sit up here say I got something to prove. 436 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: He didn't like how it ended, and in my opinion, 437 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: a lot of people talked more about what he didn't 438 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: do and didn't talk about what he really did do. 439 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean I heard I've heard people saying, you guys 440 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: saw it written too, he wasted Aaron Rodgers, or they 441 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: should have won more. All I know is if my 442 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: favorite team uses a first round pick on a on 443 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback, this guy comes in, develops him, helps making 444 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: the starter, wins the Super Bowl, he wins an MVP, 445 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: and he's going to can can you sign me up 446 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: for that? We're sitting there talking about people like you said, 447 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: People were sitting there talking about, oh, he wasted this, 448 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: he wastes he should have won more. How many people 449 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: have won a Super Bowl? I listened to the stat 450 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: of of of great quarterbacks and great coaches that have 451 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: only won one. Right, so many like Pete Carroll, they 452 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: won one super Bowl the Patriots. Makes everybody think that 453 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: the super Bowl is this easy thing to get. It's 454 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: not easier. Would have loved to have at least one 455 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: on Yeah says great, you want one one one? Right? Uh? 456 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's great, he's won one. Payment they like, they 457 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: won one super Bowl the Patriots. That's an anomaly. Yeah, 458 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: that's something you won't see it again. You would not 459 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: see that again. When I used to host why NBC 460 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, I had a line that I would always 461 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: use because it worked in so many situations. It's amazing 462 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: on who we choose to condemn and who we allow forgiveness. 463 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: Oh yes, you look at what you just talked about. 464 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: If you look at Mike m But by the way, 465 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton both were up for the 466 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: packer's job, and Payton really wanted the packer's job. And 467 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: Andrew Brand ended up saying that what really kind of 468 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: pushed him over the top as that McCarthys spent one 469 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 1: year in Green Bay, so he knew what, you know, 470 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: what they were all about. So then Sean takes the 471 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: Sames job because he didn't want to come back here 472 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys and being an assistant again. He really 473 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: wanted to be a head coach. But you look at 474 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: their records and you just put him side aside and 475 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: takeaway of the name. Mikes is better than what Sean 476 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: has done. Sean and Drew are basically in that same 477 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: boat if you think about it, what Aaron Rodgers and 478 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy were where you just say, man, you guys have 479 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: had a lot of cracks at this thing. But for 480 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: some reason, nobody says he wasted Brees's career. He never 481 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: said Drew Brees is going to the Hall of Fame. 482 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, last year they have the NFC Championship game 483 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: in the Dome. They made a lot of mistakes in 484 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: that fourth quarter. Yes he was blaming on the pas. 485 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: They got they got jobs, but yeah they didn't. Right, 486 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: they had opportunities. Even this last weekend against Minnesota, you 487 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: saw some things going down there with the same thing. 488 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: This isn't good. This isn't good. But for some reason, 489 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: and maybe it's because of what the devastation of Hurricane 490 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Katrine into the Saints and member one that Sean gets 491 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: the halo. Meanwhile, Mike's in Green Bay where they've had 492 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: other coaches who've won. You know, you really do anything special, 493 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, you did the next dude to do it. 494 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: But I just felt like people are not considering that 495 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: this man has taken a team to a super Bowl, 496 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: He's developed a quarterback they didn't have up into him, 497 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: made the playoffs this year, didn't make it the only 498 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: miss playffs three times. Do you think the success of 499 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: the Packers this year is what is getting McCarthy kind 500 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: of tarnished? But love that, Love that because that's where 501 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: I talked to my guy in Milwaukee Landtown and he said, hey, look, 502 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: what's one thing Ted Thompson wasn't doing. He wasn't abo 503 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: bringing him exactly. He didn't bring anything we saw. We 504 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: saw them defensive ends and camera Jerry world and goodness 505 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: grations and I'm sure I'm and I'm sure he's fight 506 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: thinking I could have used that. I mean, you got 507 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: the Smith brothers. They brought an amos. I mean, they 508 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: brought in all this defensive talent that they weren't willing 509 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: to do that. And mccarthey's ten year there. That's what 510 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: happened when you just want to coach. That's true. Well 511 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: how about well when he when he was hired by that, 512 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: they told him this is what I'm running. What you do, 513 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: and you had no choice. So here's a story that that, um, 514 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: I think Mike Silver had told because you know, Mike 515 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: Silver of NFL network is tight, tight with Aaron Rodgers, Gonda, 516 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: both col guys. But when Marshawn Lynch was in Buffalo 517 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: and they were basically done with Lynch, Rogers went to 518 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: the Packers, go get him, Go get him. Na, NA, 519 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. So Marshawn ends up in Seattle. 520 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: So when you've got a general manager who stuck to 521 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: his ways and didn't evolve, you cannot in the NFL 522 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: to say we're just gonna draft only we're gonna we're 523 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: gonna build. You have to go out and plug, plug 524 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: into They had a shot man, buddy just ate itself 525 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: out of the out of the uniform. My man money 526 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: for a little bit. He was, he was all right, 527 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 1: my man, my man just started. He was goodness. Let 528 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: me add So I wrote a piece of the Dallas 529 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: Morning News and I said, you know Mike McCarthy. Hiring 530 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: right McCarthy as a retreat is a good thing. So 531 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: certain people saw the headline, they went crazy, Oh, this 532 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: is garbage. You're calling him a retrad um. Well when 533 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: you this is what people call coaches who get jobs again, 534 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: they called them retreds. But how about this. Fifteen to 535 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: the last twenty three Super Bowls have been won by 536 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: retray coaches, coaches that are on their second jobs. The 537 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: only one who wasn't on the second job was on 538 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: his third NFL job was Pete Carroll. But we're talking 539 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, Tony Dungee, Uh, Mike Shanahan, 540 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: John Gruden. These guys and their second opportunities had learned. 541 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: There was a book that Harvey McKay business business writer, 542 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: and it's a business book called We Got Fired The 543 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: Best thing that ever happened to us. Talks about Joe Torrey, 544 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: Lou Holtz, Bill Belichick, people who had in other executives, 545 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: but people at Lei Coker, people who were hey, they 546 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: were good at the profession, but for some reason it 547 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: didn't work out. They got fired and the next time around, 548 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, they were ready to go, and I still 549 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: contend that Mike McCarthy spending a mastermind one year trying 550 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: to what did I do? Well, let me do a 551 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: deep dive into myself. I just believe that'll work because 552 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll did the same thing. Look at the success. 553 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: He looked at his book, read his book Win Forever. 554 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: He talked about the deep dive he did into himself 555 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: and what type of program he would have the next 556 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: time he got another opportunity. And that's what he took 557 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: to usc That was the pet that was the deep call. 558 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: That right, that was boom. I know who I am, 559 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: what I am, and what I want to be next 560 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: time I get my shot, I'm ready to go. I 561 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: believe in that about seventy I think I'm a firm 562 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: believer in timing is everything. Like most of those guys 563 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: like Pete Carroll gets there and Russell Wilson turns out 564 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: to be the guy. That guy, right, Yeah, so the 565 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: program is great, but he also he had a guy McCarthy. 566 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: You know, he did shape Aaron Rodgers, but he's Aaron Rodgers, 567 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: you know. To not not taking anything away from him, 568 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying timing is huge. Now, you know, Pete 569 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: won the division. I think it was a seven nine, 570 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: but that was without Russell. That was what it was. 571 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: They were still seven to nine. Yeah, but but still 572 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: and they want a division at seven. If you're talking 573 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: about new allers away from home, I mean, we're just going. 574 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: So he does that. Then he ends up signing Matt Flynn. 575 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: They give Matt Flynn all that money and they drafted Russell, 576 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Wilson and Ye. And remember Matt Flynn got that big 577 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: contract because he came here and beat us. He ended 578 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: up coming off the bench for Mike McCarthy's Packers had 579 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: a nice little run. And you know, so McCarthy developed 580 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: Timmy also had developed Aaron Brooks, who won the same 581 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: sever first first ever playoff game, is true. So when 582 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: I hear retread, I think that that can be a 583 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: really good thing. Rick Carlyle took over for Avery Johnson 584 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: and I was there for that for that run Avery's running. 585 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: When they brought in Rick, and people were not they 586 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: weren't excited. They was, okay, here's this guy. You know, 587 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: he was with the Pistons. Pistons fired him and the 588 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: next year Larry Brown takes the Pistons and they go 589 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: beat the Lakers and win the championship. So how good 590 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: is the guy? And oh yeah, he's the Pacers. He 591 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: was a patient coach. That was the malice in the 592 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: palace duty, you know that was that was kind of 593 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: the thing on Rick. And look at what he's done here, 594 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: won the first ever championship for the Mavericks. He brought 595 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: in a good staff of people, and you know, Terry 596 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: Stotts was on that staff. We see what Terry's done 597 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: in Portland. He's been outstanding. Dwayne Casey, Dwayne case he 598 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: ended up leaving the Mavericks and going to Toronto become 599 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: a Coach of the Year. So he had a plan 600 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: and he knew what he wanted to do and that 601 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: third time around, bam, it clicked. And then he got 602 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: with an owner who people said metal, people say, talk 603 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: too much and they ended up getting it done. So 604 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: a basketball turn. So do you guys think that McCarthy 605 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: has the opportunity will he have? Will he do this? 606 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: You know how Kerk kind of took over Mark was 607 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: over Mark Jackson. You know they could Mark Jason Hood 608 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: and get those guys over the hump. Everybody says, you know, Kerr, 609 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: you know got him over to the hump, but it 610 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: was what Mark Jackson's players on it. Do you think 611 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy has an opportunity to do that him over the hump? 612 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: He better if you think. I think I think he 613 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: will turn it. I think he will turn opportunity there. 614 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: That's all. That's all you can ask. I think the 615 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: way he's shaping up his coach and staff, I think 616 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: it's totally different than what Jason had. So I think 617 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's the next thing one 618 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: I want to go right there. Let's dive into that. 619 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan, it's been reported gonna be the defensive coordinator, 620 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: So Mike no One's gonna be defensive coordinator the linebackers 621 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: coach right for the same Mike Nolan, when he was 622 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: the head coach of the forty nine Ers, had made 623 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: McCarthy his offensive coordinator, so they know each other. John 624 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: Fossil will be the special team's coach. Joe Philbin is 625 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: going to replace Mark Colombo as the offensive line coach. 626 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: Philbin was in Green Bay with McCarthy and McCarthy's up 627 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: getting let go. Philibin had taken over as the interim 628 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: head coach. Used to be the head coach with the 629 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins as well, so so they have a working relationship. 630 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: So just what you know so far about the staff, 631 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: your thoughts. I like it. I like the fact that 632 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: we did not keep everybody that was with Jason right 633 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: you want to you had these relationships. Nothing against those guys, 634 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: But let this guy come in and run this how 635 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: he wants to run it, because that's some of the 636 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: stuff that got us in trouble in the past. I 637 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: think just all the internal guys that continue to stay 638 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: here for ten, ten to twelve years, half a long 639 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: label here, we just started seeing the same thing, right. 640 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: Let these guys bring in their fresh ideas everybody. If 641 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: McCarthy's gonna run the offense, he got a guy that 642 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: he's trust on defense, so that guy will be able 643 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: to handle defense. Same with special teams. So all these 644 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: guys will come together, of course be one team, but 645 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: all these guys have success in the past and they're 646 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: able to bring in their own plans and own schemes. 647 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: And like I said, special teams, I think they hurt 648 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: us last year because we tried to run Rich Besaccia scheme. 649 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: But he's not here, and we saw the effects of that, 650 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: so I'm happy. Yeah, You're hundred percent right. I mean, 651 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: I think when you're starting fresh, you gotta have a 652 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: new slate. I mean, and that includes your coaching staff 653 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: as well. If there's one person that I would like 654 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: to see him keep other than coming Moore, would be 655 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: Big Cat, just for the simple fact that I think 656 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: he's gotten the most out of this D line. I mean, 657 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: yet he had dropping production this year, but the two 658 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: years before that, I mean, you had de Marcus Lawrence 659 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: doing double digit sacks, you had Quinn coming in here 660 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: this year doing work, and so I just feel like 661 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: there's one coach that they would keep. It would be 662 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: Leon Let So hopefully that happens. But I'm agree with 663 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: you on a percent. You gotta have a I like GB. 664 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: Two though I like GB and running back. I know 665 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: they probably won't keep them, but Tony Poler got in 666 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: and showed out. You got a fullback in there that's 667 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: doing doing a little so many plans, you know, So 668 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I like him. I like GB, 669 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: and I might be biased because I like him as 670 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: a personal On the GB, we all like if you 671 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: if you don't like Gary Brown, you just don't like 672 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: people uh Stan Drayton, who is the associate head coach 673 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: and run game coordinated at the University of Texas. That 674 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,240 Speaker 1: has been reported by Todd Archer and a few others 675 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: that they are talking to him right now and his 676 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: connection is he coaches Zekiel Elliott at Ohio State, So 677 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: that could be. I do think if you spent fifteen 678 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: million dollars a year on this dude, you want to 679 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that there's a connection. I 680 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: believe so if it's not Gary Brown and it's stand Drayton, 681 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: I think that they can feel good in terms of, hey, 682 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: look here's a guy that worked with them, helped develop him. 683 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: He has a relationship there. But I'm with you. You 684 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: need to bring in people who you trust and also 685 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: people who understand what it is you want. So your 686 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: parcels talked about when he first got here and some 687 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: of the guys he didn't know, but he know he 688 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: they you know, he knew them, but they didn't work together. 689 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: Said I had to coach the coaches. So in some 690 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: cases with Mike lowelan and and Joe Phil, you don't 691 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: have to coach them. They know what you want and 692 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about what's being said in 693 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: the meeting rooms, and I wanta take it right there. 694 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: You guys have been in the meetings rooms with your 695 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: position coaches. How do you go and how do you 696 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: deal with a new guy and what it is they want? 697 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: Once you think about that, will take a break. But 698 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 1: when you come back as players, how do you now 699 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: deal with new coaches? New especially because position coaches are 700 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: where you spend most of your time, people just don't 701 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: understand that it of it.

As former players, 746 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: you guys have been through it and it's different. Assistant 747 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: coaches come in. Yes, the head coach is the guy 748 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: who's in charge, but you spend the majority of your 749 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: time with your position coach and your group in meetings. 750 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: So how does it go in terms of dealing with 751 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: a new position coach? What do you as a player 752 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: need to tell your your new position because then maybe 753 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: they do or do not know about what it did 754 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: you do well or or you know, just just that 755 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 1: whole experience. Why did I did go through it twice? 756 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: When I was a younger player. We had you know, 757 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: Campo and Maxi and all those guys when they came 758 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: in there, and as young dude, I'm just like, I 759 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. So once they got once 760 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: that whole coaching staff was fired, I think that's when 761 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: Henderson and Baker and all the boys came in. So 762 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: at that time, I'm not, you know, the leader, I'm 763 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: not a captain anything like that. I'm still a young 764 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: guy trying to figure things out, trying to get into 765 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: my starting realm. So I kind of kept quieter around. 766 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: I left the older gay, let's send some ball, and 767 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: those guys kind of get that connection with those coaches 768 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: and everything like that, and I kind of, you know, 769 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: faded to the back because I didn't know what was 770 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: gonna happening when my next you know if I was 771 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: gonna be here or not. But later on when we 772 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: got another coaching staff had coming. I think it was 773 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: Baker and uh not Baker, but I wouldn't hear when 774 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: y'all had yet we had them coming, and I was 775 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: a captain at that time, so I had had to 776 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: get in the offseason. I had to go talk to 777 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: them just to break bread with them, just kind of 778 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: even getting to feel hard how they want up to 779 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: play and what type of defenses they're going to bring in. 780 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: And so once you get that early field for them, 781 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: and you get that into the otag, you get that 782 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: into the season, it just becomes that camaraderie. Pardon the 783 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: rest is history. After that, were you speaking to the 784 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: difference of when you were younger and not really sure 785 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,919 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure? And then you got the captain 786 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: stap So, like some I would assume a lot of 787 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: the guys who may be on smaller country said the 788 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: end of the contracts, what the mindset that they have is, 789 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: really honestly, does this guy like me? Do I fit 790 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 1: into what he wants to do? Will I'll still be here? 791 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: I need to go figure out what it is that 792 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: he actually thinks about me as a player. I think 793 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: I remember one time we had it and each player 794 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: had to go speak to the coach after they had 795 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: watched some film on them. So you can tell them, hey, 796 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm here now, this is what I think you do. Will, 797 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: this is what I don't think you do well. And 798 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: you can help yourself by doing X, Y and Z 799 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: throughout the offseason and to help you in training camp 800 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: when we're doing our evaluations. So those guys in that 801 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: position should go talk to the coach as soon as 802 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: they get a chance or whenever he gets subtled to 803 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: figure out where they stand. The captains, on the other hand, 804 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: need to be the guys to go figure out how 805 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: they want to run the room, like a guy like 806 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, who was going to be here when you 807 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: having that conversation with the new coach. Your conversation is 808 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: how do you want the room around? What type of 809 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: leader do do you? Are you used to? And do 810 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: you want me to be? And how can I help 811 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: and the other guys are or what can I do 812 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: to stay here? All right, let's talk about just some 813 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: potential free agent here and to me obviously that you 814 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: have three big ones. Dak press Scott Amari Cooper. Byron Jones, 815 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: gentleman thoughts, well, that ain't going nowhere. I mean he's 816 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: at the worst, will get franchise tagged or he'll get 817 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: a long term deal. I don't think he's going anywhere. 818 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: You can't let that go. But on defensive side of 819 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: the ball, I think it's I think it's gonna be tough. 820 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: I think you got you know, Quinn or b Jones, 821 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: And in my opinion, I think you gotta go with 822 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: b Jones on this. Yes, not saying not saying, he saying. 823 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: He doesn't get you all these inter he doesn't get 824 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: you all these interceptions that that people want. He's not 825 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: a ball hawker, but this guy locks down receivers. When 826 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: have you ever seen a receiver just kind of go 827 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: off on Byron Jones. We'll think about your defensive scheme, right. 828 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: The great defensive schemes allow you to cut off one 829 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: side of the field by putting a player Like if 830 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: I say, hey, Byron, you're on the right side, you 831 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: take here the right side. I can focus my whole 832 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: defense on everyone. It's sod you like you got to 833 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: like listen, you can you just pay the pass rusher 834 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: honey million, all right, and with that game, you get 835 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 1: you get your defensive tackle. You know, get you get 836 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: you another defensive vent in the draft. Sure up covers. 837 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: This is a passing league and it's the teams with 838 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: great cornerbacks. You see what Peters did when he got traded, 839 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: he took him. What happened with Ramsey when when he 840 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: got to La Brother bro No, no, no, if on 841 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: the defense. I will quote you what Hall of Fame 842 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: A Warren Sap has said for years back, don't work 843 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: without the front. If I'm putting pressure on the quarterback, 844 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: he's not gonna have all day long. Now here's my 845 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: other thing with Bayern, who is a tremendous character guy. Okay, 846 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: I'm not paying a corner who doesn't get picks. If 847 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: you can't get the football, why am I paying you? 848 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: What's one of the biggest issues and problems they have 849 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: on this team? And don't pick anything off everything this is. 850 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: Don't you got a new defensive coordinator who's gonna run 851 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: a new scheme maybe started from You got a hundred 852 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: million dollars up front already, and you assume you're gonna 853 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: get a defensive tackle next the team of sacks to 854 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: keep that guy, you would keep it because plant the 855 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: team and sacks. How old is Quinn? Now, you could 856 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: probably get him on a cheaper deal than he can 857 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: on on Jones. Oh yeah, you could definitely get him cheaper. 858 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: But I think you would have to pay Jones. I 859 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: don't think you would have to break the bank you got. 860 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 1: You gotta pay him. He's a quarterback. He's a lockdown corner. 861 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: And we talk about picks. Listen, I really do not 862 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: catch the ball on meat and catch it pickers A plus. 863 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: It's true. You gotta do getting yarded every game. That's 864 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 1: why Peters got traded. Now he getting picks, but for 865 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: one team he was in a row. I remember Mike Thomas, 866 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: King guard Michael who they said does not have long 867 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: speed dust and Marcus Peters gambling. But he got picked out. 868 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: And that's the corner that you want. But he wasn't 869 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: the same guy. So you guys are taking Byron Jones, 870 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: letting Quinn go, Amari Coop, No, I didn't know. We 871 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: didn't say let Quinn go. But you get getting everybody. Okay, 872 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: you cut down to those two, everybody's not going. We 873 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: got like eighty million dollars and everybody, everybody, everybody, you're 874 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: gonna go with the dB, over the over the over 875 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: the fifth because we already got one. We have no dB. 876 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,760 Speaker 1: So where do we Where do we stand? With Amark 877 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: Cooper here if you can get him for about fifteen yeah, 878 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: but anything over that, I'm not I'm noting, He's I'm 879 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: not sold. Man. I saw the last month. I'm not 880 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm Smith and who got added him and Jenna Smith? 881 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: And we swiped it to the pro Bo. Let me 882 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 1: we know about the Pro Bowl. We know about the 883 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Play the probo a lot of times? Is 884 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 1: the name thing I remember a lot? It is. It's 885 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 1: all not to not to trash one. We can do 886 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,240 Speaker 1: that to the haters. Man, listen, let me tell you something, 887 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: so we will walk in. We were walking there to 888 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: voting for the for the Pro Bowl, right yeah. And 889 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,479 Speaker 1: we were walking there as young guys, so we didn't 890 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: really know the play. The coach would have six guys 891 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: on the board and they said, hey, check the box 892 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: right here. One of these guys got One of these 893 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: guys got to be there, ain't you ain't even had 894 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: your own opinion on me. It's on the board. Yeah, so, 895 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 1: and everybody was like, so, who were picking for? I 896 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: ain't really see him play, so who we fixed? It's 897 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: who you see. We've been inside the voting. Okay. So, 898 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna simply say this. When this team 899 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: was three and five and they had the receiver by committee, 900 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: things wasn't working. Mary Cooper came in here to turn 901 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,479 Speaker 1: things around. Dak Prescott has a guy that he can trust. 902 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 1: I look at the Mary Cooper and I think about 903 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: how the receivers act and the way the room is 904 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: versus when they didn't have him and they had other 905 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 1: people to receive last the last of the season. Tell 906 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: me when they didn't have them. Come on, man, I'm 907 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: just I'm just gonna say I I would, I would 908 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure if I'm going to give thirty 909 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: five forty million dollars to the quarterback that he's got 910 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: his top weapon. But that, but we also know that 911 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: guy after every every place he makes, he walks off 912 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: the field, he's been hurt. He was hurt training camp, 913 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 1: he was hurt all your long. He said it wasn't hurt. 914 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: Come on, he said it wasn't hurt. Come on. So 915 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: you right, you don't get roll tied all check out. 916 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: So how very much you said you're gonna pay? You 917 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: got a minus of me if each time he got 918 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: locked down the ship?

There's a lot of people who put 937 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 1: input in when you playing on Is he a top 938 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: five wide receiver in the NFL right now? Because because 939 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: I do, because I put Michael Thomas there, Evans on 940 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 1: taras hamstring. He's finished in the season. Crazy Godwin, Keenan Allen, 941 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 1: don't come on, man, uh.

I love because in my opinion, 945 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's been elite coaching this past 946 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: decade here with the Cowboys. You give Mike McCarthy and 947 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: Maari Cooper. Can he make another DeVante Adams? Um, look 948 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: at what he hit with Cobb and Donald Driver him. 949 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: They had to. He knows how to get some about 950 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 1: these receivers. Give me an elite head coach like Mike 951 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: McCarthy who has won a Super Bowl and they and 952 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: they spent sixty forty percent throwing the ball. The same 953 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: head coach they had a Mark Cooper last year on 954 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: the three and five. It is the same head coach 955 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: that had this guy at the end of the season 956 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 1: when he disappeared. Elite coaching or not, he was the same, 957 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 1: He was around the same people, and the result was 958 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: total opposite. I will say this, though I don't I 959 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 1: don't think all can do it by myself. Though no, no, 960 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're talking about paying him best receiver 961 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,400 Speaker 1: in the league.

What we were talking about. 982 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: Because Rooney rule, Uh, it produced one head coach, one 983 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 1: head coaching higher there's still one left Cleveland Browns. But 984 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera end up getting the job in Washington. There 985 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: were no black head coaches who got jobs. Eric the Enemy, 986 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: who's is highly recommended by Andy Reid, who's the offensive 987 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,280 Speaker 1: coordinator for the Chiefs, the same job where Matt Naggie 988 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: went from being the offensive coordinator to the head coach 989 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears Peter someonwhere for being Andy Reads often supported 990 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: the Phillip the Eagles. There have been some people think 991 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: that the Rooney rule is broken. Some people think that 992 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: Rooney rule is not not even worth it. Some say 993 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,959 Speaker 1: it's just a sham. What's your opinion, gentleman, I would 994 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: say it's worth it. I mean because at the end 995 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,240 Speaker 1: of the day, these these gentlemen, they're getting they're getting interviews, 996 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,920 Speaker 1: and they're getting their name out there. So I was. 997 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's you rather have an interview interview than 998 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,879 Speaker 1: nothing at all. Now, what we'd like to see more 999 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: black men in the head coaching positions, Yeah, we would 1000 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: love to do that, But right now I'm thinking the interviews. 1001 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: I mean, an interview process is good and everything like that, 1002 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: and you would rather have interviews than nothing at all. Yeah. 1003 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: First of all, you cannot make these dudes hire a 1004 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 1: black guy. I mean, the rule is the rule. I'm 1005 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: glad that they getting interviews, but at the end of 1006 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: the day, you not. You cannot sit up here and 1007 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: try to mandate how many minority coaches that the league 1008 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: has to our hires a whole. All these guys, these 1009 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: are individual guys. These are individual owners of these teams, 1010 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: and they have preferences, and the preferences obvious. So keep 1011 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: the rule, because I mean, every once in a while 1012 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: you will get a guy who goes in there and 1013 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: and he aws the GM and he gets hired. So 1014 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: keep it. Without that, then they might not even get 1015 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: the interview. The job you do not in an interview 1016 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: for you cannot get exactly I've gone through this in 1017 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: my professional television okay, where they because of the way 1018 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 1: the these TV stations work in the EOC cond all 1019 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Of the laws, you have to 1020 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,879 Speaker 1: interview minority canny. So I've been on those interviews before, 1021 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 1: where hey, look that we're gonna get the job. But 1022 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: I remember one job that I really wanted to get 1023 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: in Tucson, Arizona, young and my credit didn't get it. 1024 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: But the news director in Arizona ended up calling a 1025 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: guy in Savannah, Georgia. It said, look, he didn't get 1026 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 1: the job here, but you should look at him. That's 1027 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: a job I could have had. I didn't take it, 1028 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: ended up going as to Texas. But that was one 1029 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: of those six degrees of separation. You don't know who's 1030 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: going to be in the room and who can say, 1031 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, boy Danny McCrae, we almost hired him, but 1032 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: down there somebody else he can help them. So I 1033 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: just believe in that. Now when you people are all 1034 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: the owners, and yes, you can be on the owners. 1035 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 1: But let me also say this, I don't think people 1036 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,800 Speaker 1: are also talking about some of the head coaches or not. 1037 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera gets the Washington job. He brings in Jack 1038 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: del Rio, who's white. He brings in North Turner's kid, 1039 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: to be his offensive coordinator who's white. So when you 1040 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: talk about getting a pipeline, you know, if you're not 1041 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: allowed as a minority coach to actually become a coordinator, 1042 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: to put yourself in the positions to be the next 1043 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: guy up, it's tough. Mike McCarthy's coming here and he's 1044 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,000 Speaker 1: brought in Mike Nolan to be his defensive coordinator. I mean, 1045 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: so a part of these things where people are banging 1046 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 1: on the owners, you gotta get guys, gotta get in 1047 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 1: positions as coaches. So when you start to look at 1048 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,239 Speaker 1: how you start shaping these tasks, how many of these 1049 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,800 Speaker 1: guys are actually putting in minorities where they can become 1050 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: a head arians follow him to go follow him, man, 1051 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: go see what they got going on. He's and he's going, 1052 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: he's going to continue. Yeah, but he's going Hopefully somebody 1053 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: follows the trend right he is making. He's intentionally making 1054 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,839 Speaker 1: an effort to surround himself with coaches that he really wants. 1055 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: Anybody down there that's his ocn Yeah, good one, good ones. 1056 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: He's got all of his coordinators, all of his coordinator 1057 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. He's continued that, like he from Arizona 1058 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: all the way to um to Tampa. Like he's going 1059 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: to continue doing that, and he's he makes it a purpose, 1060 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 1: his purpose to get that back. Yeah, but that's that's 1061 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: another thing there. It's just you know, for for as 1062 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 1: a coach, you gotta get yourself in a position where 1063 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: can you become a coordinator kid, And that's something I 1064 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: think Sherry's been here. I think he's only had one 1065 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: minority coordinator was Brian Stewart, who was here under under 1066 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 1: Wade Phillips, and then he wasn't here very long. But 1067 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,880 Speaker 1: that's just so so I just go into that. As 1068 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 1: a owner, you know, you're looking at your staff and 1069 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,399 Speaker 1: looking at your key people. So so we can look 1070 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: at the owners, but do not forget to look at 1071 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: the head coaches, because he's head coaches are the guys 1072 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: that are bringing in the people that people say, who's 1073 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: the next guy? I mean, how does Brian Flores get 1074 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,320 Speaker 1: his opportunity? It's because he was elevated within Bill Belichick system. 1075 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: Christ account No, because Rod mary Nellen was defensive. You 1076 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: know that's true. You know, once you start speaking and 1077 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 1: then you know and how the defense playing. The people 1078 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: start saying he's the coordinator. But remember Rod was trying 1079 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'm trying to get this guy. Rod 1080 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: was actually trying to help him, you know, down the 1081 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,919 Speaker 1: road to become a head coach. Rod was actually trying 1082 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,359 Speaker 1: to do it. He counts is one of those guys 1083 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 1: like the Brian. But Flores, I mean you think he 1084 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean somebody trying to elevate him, right right, Yes, yeah, 1085 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 1: you had someone who's trying to help him. So that's 1086 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: the pipeline. That's the whole thing. When people doing, hey, 1087 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,320 Speaker 1: well who's in the pipeline? Who's Well, you gotta have 1088 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: head coaches who get you in the pipeline. But if 1089 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 1: coaches are just gonna hire their friends and all their 1090 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: friends are basically white guys, and they just simply say, hey, look, 1091 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: you can be a dB coach, black guy, you can 1092 00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 1: be a running back coach. I when you get pigeonholed 1093 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 1: and it's hard. I mean, Eric be Ennemy has done 1094 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: everything that you need to do to become a head 1095 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 1: coach except for the gold post. Keep moving for the guy. 1096 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,840 Speaker 1: That's true. So the rooting rule is not the problem. 1097 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 1: The problem is how you get opportunities to show people 1098 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 1: what it is you can do. That's true. I never 1099 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 1: looked at it by that point. I mean I always 1100 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: kind of side up to the owners, like, man, they 1101 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 1: gotta get these guys. But you're all right, man, yeah, 1102 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: it's both. Yes, I think it's both. It's definitely your book. 1103 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 1: But that's what to me when I think about what's 1104 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: when you say what needs to change, what can change 1105 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,959 Speaker 1: and be most effective, it's getting guys opportunities as chord 1106 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: tators because basically who you're hiring, except for what the 1107 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: Giants did with what they're dude, Joe Judge, they're being 1108 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,759 Speaker 1: they're guys who are coordinators. The problem I had with 1109 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,720 Speaker 1: the b Ennity thing is people, well he didn't call plays. 1110 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 1: Other dudes weren't calling a play. Andy Rie got a 1111 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 1: John Philadelphia didn't call one play, was never even the coordinator. 1112 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, so why do the rules keep 1113 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 1: changing him? So but but there are I mean, you 1114 00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 1: can't have a league of eighty percent, you know, players, 1115 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: the minorities, and telling me that can't. Ain't nobody worth 1116 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 1: anything to be ever become a coach. Um. You are correct, 1117 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's that's just it's impossible. But I 1118 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 1: just truly believe he gotta have some opportunities to be 1119 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 1: able to show folks what it is you can do. 1120 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: And even when you do, you know, like Tony Dungie 1121 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 1: for years, you know, oh he's an interview and all 1122 00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: these two so I've spoken. I mean, it's all these 1123 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: excuses that were used against him, and then what happ 1124 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: when Tony had he took off and you know, so 1125 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 1: that's that's that's been my my my kind of frustration 1126 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: is just, hey, look, it's hard to ever advance if 1127 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 1: all coaches do is hire their homies and buddies and friends. 1128 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,439 Speaker 1: And it's not just here. Look at the collegiate level, 1129 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: look at the clue. I told one of my buddies 1130 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: and said, man, I said, I don't know. I said, 1131 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 1: as a black, I don't know how you do that business. 1132 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: Because either you are a dB coach running back coach, 1133 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: you don't get the call plays rarely you do, and 1134 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: it's hard to get a jot. I said, it's I said, 1135 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: I don't see a whole lot of advancement. It is 1136 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: what you do. And people can talk about merits all 1137 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: day long. But if I cheap changing, if I keep changing, 1138 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 1: the narrative and keep moving the goal post so you 1139 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 1: can't get I mean I heard somebody saying, well, Eric, 1140 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: the enemy's offensive Colorado wasn't good many years ago. Was 1141 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: that Okay, it's his offense good. Now did he help 1142 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 1: coach the MVP?
