1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 2: I'm exhausted and we're just getting started, and we only 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: have three hours to fit everything in. 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 3: Today. 6 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: It's like you're on a roller coaster that doesn't allow 7 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: you to get off. Twenty four hours ago, Mike Vrabel 8 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: being fired by the Titans was a big deal. And 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, Seahawks politely move on from 10 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, and then Nick Saban abruptly retires at Alabama, 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: and then Bill Belichick and the Patriots decide to part ways. 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: Earlier this morning, they have a press conference. It will 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: be Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick at the podium together 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 2: at noon Eastern. 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 3: Welcome to the show. 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: That was generational yesterday when you think about it, I 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: remember the first time I met Bill Belichick. He was 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator with the Giants. Now, Bill Parcells didn't 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: allow us assistant coaches to do interviews, but I did 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: produce myself to him. 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: I was new to New York. I met him. 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 2: I just introduced myself. I don't even know if he responded. 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: And then here we are today. Bill Belichick is out 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: as the Patriots head coach. I think he'll coach again 25 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 2: Nick Saban. Nick Saban, I've known for a long long time, 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: and yesterday didn't surprise me. But there's still that element 27 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: of shock that Nick Saban is not going to coach 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: any longer. Pete Carroll, one of the great college coaches 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: of all time and a couple of yards away from 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: joining a pretty elite group of head coaches to win 31 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: two Super Bowls, decides that he is going to part 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: ways with Seattle, at least as a head coach, maybe 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: staying on as a coordinator. And I gave you a 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: heads up from last week when I was talking to 35 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: somebody in Seattle and they said, hey, keep an eye 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: on the Pete Carroll situation here in Seattle. And I said, wait, 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: Seattle could move on from Pete Carroll, and I was 38 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: told yes, Now. Pete came out earlier this week and 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: said no, no, no, I got the energy. I'm going 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: to keep coaching. And then all of a sudden, yesterday happened. 41 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel. There was a little bit of surprise there, 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: because he's a coach that's going to be in demand. 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, I think wants to coach again. Bill Belichick's 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: going to coach again. I don't think Nick Saban is 45 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: going to coach again. Welcome to the show. Our one 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: Rodney Harrison, who is a Hall of Fame finalist. He 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: is a former Patriots defensive back. He's going to join 48 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: us coming up here at about fifteen minutes from now. 49 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 2: Also Gary Danielson, one of the great voices of the 50 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: SEC with CBS Sports, will join us a little bit 51 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: later on.

Pete's like it's like as there's 91 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: a race going on, he's trying to hit as many 92 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 4: things as you can in ninety seconds. 93 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he does. 94 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: When he talks, he's gonna be better, Like he's got 95 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 2: a time limit that he's got to get it out right, 96 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: you know. Where's Belichick and Saban are a little bit 97 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: a little slower, more deliberate. 98 00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: Pete. 99 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: Pete's always do we have a little bit of Pete 100 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: Carroll from yesterday press conference. 101 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 5: I competed pretty hard to be the coach, just so 102 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 5: you know, because I just wanted to make sure that 103 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 5: I stood up for all of our coaches and the 104 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 5: players and the things that we'd accomplished, not so that 105 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 5: we could be the coach still, but so that we 106 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 5: could continue to have a chance to be successful and 107 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 5: keep the organization going. That's what I was fighting for. 108 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 5: So in that regard, that was what I was representing 109 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 5: in our discussions and we got to a good part, 110 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 5: a good clean spot where it made sense, and you know, 111 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 5: I went along with it with their intentions. 112 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: He was fighting to coach, to stay as the coach, 113 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: and that's one of those where and I've no information, 114 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: but ownership probably said no, we were moving on. 115 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 6: Pete. 116 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: You can stay in an advisory role, you know, stay 117 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: with the franchise as long as you want, but we're 118 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: going to move on. We're going to go in a 119 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: younger direction. Probably what happened with Bill Belichick. Belichick was 120 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: fighting to stay as the head coach so much so 121 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: he was going to relinquish power. So he was open 122 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: to that. That's why when you know they say it's 123 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: a mutual parting, well it's not a mutual parting. It's okay, Bill, 124 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: you need to be on board because we're going to 125 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: move in a different direction. 126 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 6: All right. 127 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: I guess that's a mutual parting. Then saban's surprise. 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: I spoke to a source yesterday and I guess Nick 129 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: was interviewing coaches, wide receiver coaches, assistant coaches, somebody who 130 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: he was going to hire, and then all of a 131 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: sudden goes into a meeting. It says that he's retiring, 132 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: and then the speculation started that Dan landing at Oregon, 133 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: would they bring in Dabbo? What about Lane Kiffin? I mean, 134 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: there was just it exploded. And I'm going to play 135 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 2: an interview that I did with Nick Saban. I think 136 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: this is a year ago, maybe two years ago, and 137 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: we talked about retirement, and he gave me about two 138 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: minutes a two minute answer about retirement. So it was 139 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: sort of there. You just didn't know when it was 140 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: going to happen. And you know, saying with Belichick, it 141 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: wasn't a question of if or when more, it was 142 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: going to be when, not if, And Mike Reese did 143 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: a wonderful job breaking that story with Belichick and the 144 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: Patriots parting ways. But I figured that Bill was not 145 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: going to be back. The question is I thought it 146 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: might be Friday, thought you know, it'd be tomorrow that 147 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: they would have that announcement. But here it is this morning, 148 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 2: and Bill Belichick and the Patriots will hold a press 149 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: conference coming up at the top of the top of. 150 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: Noon noon Eastern, I believe. 151 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: So we'll have a poll question play at the day 152 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: stat of the day, all of that forthcoming and we'll 153 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: try to get in all of this and phone calls 154 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: as well. Operator Tyler's standing by. All right, seed, what's 155 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: poll question today? How about we start here? Who will 156 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: have a better season next year? Alabama, the Patriots or 157 00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: the Seahawks. I'm well, okay, it's a sliding scale. We're 158 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: looking too far ahead already. No no, no, no, no, 159 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: no no. But what is a good season in Alabama? 160 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: What's a good season in New England? And what's a 161 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: good season in Seattle? Because I think those are three 162 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: different answers, certainly two different answers. Alabama, if they lose 163 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: two games, probably didn't have a great season. If New 164 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: England makes the playoffs, they had a great season. Seattle 165 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: didn't make the playoffs this year. If they make the 166 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: playoffs next year, that would be a good year. So 167 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: I would say sliding scale. Alabama's expectations just a little 168 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: more heightened than the. 169 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: Other ones, but slimmer margin. Yes, it is, yes, it is, okay, 170 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: all right? 171 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 7: Who would you most want to have beers with? Bill Belichick, 172 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 7: Pete Carroll, Nick Saban? Okay, they're all good beer guys 173 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 7: in their own way. You walk into a bar, Dan, 174 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 7: there's three guys sitting at one corner, the one guys 175 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 7: at one corner, one guy's at the other corner, the 176 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 7: other guys in the middle. 177 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 3: Who are you sitting next to? 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 6: Dan? 179 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: Okay, so Rabel is not in this. It's just that 180 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: those three. 181 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 7: I mean, with all due respect to Mike Rabel, he's 182 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 7: not any of those three. 183 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: He's not. 184 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: No, but I might want to have a beer with 185 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: Rabel over everybody else I got. 186 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 7: I don't know if the Titans are going to have 187 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 7: a better season than all three of those things, but 188 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 7: I don't really care either, not today. 189 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: Um, I would probably want to have a beer with Saban. 190 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: I think I have a good relationship with him. I 191 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: think he's got a sneaky sense of humor, and I 192 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 2: think he would allow me a little latitude on questions 193 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 2: that I would ask him, because the first thing I 194 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: would say after maybe two beers is what role did name, image, 195 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 2: and likeness play in you deciding you didn't want to 196 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: coach at It? 197 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: Sure feels like. 198 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 7: It's really tip the scale. 199 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: I think you're going to see this. It's already happened, 200 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: you know. Coach k talked about it, Jay Wright talked 201 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: about it. The Great Villanova coach who decided to retire. 202 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 2: The landscape has changed because college football was about control. 203 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: These coaches had you for at least three years. You 204 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: weren't going anywhere. Now all of a sudden, where you go, 205 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: how long you stay, how much you make? Are you playing? 206 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: I'm not happy I'm transferring. That is going to probably 207 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: limit the coaching careers now, guys staying at one place 208 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 2: or even staying in the business for a long time, 209 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: because they do talk about how you get on the 210 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: practice field or get on the football field in a 211 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: game that's where you know, that's what you love. But 212 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: the other stuff that'll drive you out of the business. 213 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 2: And I think that that's what happened with Nick Saban. 214 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 7: Because now we can't just bring in kids, promise them everything, 215 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 7: and replace them as we wish. 216 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: Well, maybe we got a five star now and a 217 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: four star. 218 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 7: We promised them that they were going to play, and 219 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 7: then now they're able to do what they want and 220 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 7: have more control over their lives. 221 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: And I just can't coach that way. Yeah. 222 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: I mean that those aren't the exact words of Nick Saban, 223 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: but they could be maybe his feeling, maybe his feelings. Yeah, 224 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: name image and likeness and the transfer portal and the 225 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: what it's going to do to these coaches and how 226 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: long you stay because now going to the NFL, with 227 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: the uncertainty of the NFL, at least it's there's structure there. 228 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: You know, you're not recruiting. You know, you don't have 229 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: to worry about name, image and likeness. 230 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 7: There's nobody decided to give these kids some control over 231 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 7: their lives. 232 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 8: And now I just can't do this anymore. Once again, 233 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 8: that's good, that's good. Saving that is You've got to 234 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 8: time it. It's a rhythm right around here. Click bottle, 235 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 8: you'll slide off. Get the little Debbie's cakes, you get 236 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 8: the diet coke. 237 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right there. 238 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm trapped in a thirty for thirty 239 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: episode here, Yeah, I do. It's like, do you remember 240 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: that day when all of this happened, and you know, 241 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're going, wow, it's like a 242 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 2: pinball machine. 243 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: Here, Wait what just happened? Wait what just happened? Wait? 244 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: What just happened? 245 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 6: Yeah? 246 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 4: You know, we live with hyperbole. The newest thing is 247 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: always the best thing or the latest thing. But it's 248 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 4: really clear that you could say two of the five 249 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 4: greatest football coaches of all times are done in the 250 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 4: past twenty four hours. If I said top five of 251 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: all time football, I didn't say college or pro the Cup. Well, 252 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: it's clear that those two are in there, don't I 253 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 4: really don't even think there's much of a debate. You 254 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 4: could say, Oh, there's Lombardi or Shula, Bear Brian blah 255 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 4: blah blah. You couldn't take these guys out of it. 256 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: It's almost that clear. That's how big it feels. One 257 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: more question for you, and we'll talk to a source. 258 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: Do you think Nick Saban made his decision in his 259 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: head or maybe thought about it and then went to 260 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 4: his wife and said I'm doing this and purposely went 261 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: in yesterday, told no one so no one could talk 262 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 4: him out of it. 263 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 2: I don't know, because when I spoke to something. As 264 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 2: soon as I heard the news, I called source of 265 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: mine and I said, what, no heads up? And he said, 266 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: we didn't get a heads up? And I go, really, 267 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: because no, he was interviewing candidates for wide receiver coach position. 268 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: But you know, and I first thing I asked was health. 269 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: That's what I want to know. I say, is this 270 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: health related? And I was told as far as my 271 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: source the information he had, he said, no, he said, 272 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: I just think that he got tired and that his 273 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: last victory was against Georgia. They won the SEC title. 274 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 2: They were a couple of plays away from maybe playing 275 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: for the national championship, so. 276 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: Going out on a high note. 277 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: So, you know, I you know, my source was trying 278 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: to just sort all of this out of how it happened, 279 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: when who knew, because he said probably the athletic director. 280 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: They knew, They knew for a little while to get 281 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: to this point, but that's where nobody else knew anything 282 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: about it. 283 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: And the reporter for ESPN who broke the story. 284 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: Mike Reese, Noha, Chris Low Yeah, yeah, Chris Low, Yeah, 285 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: congratulations to him breaking that story. And then Mike Reese 286 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: breaking the story with Bill Belichick. But yeah, just trying 287 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: to sort this out and understand. I get the Belichick thing, 288 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: but Saban, I just think I think the other the 289 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: ancillary things about college football and being a coach probably 290 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: drove him out of the game. Now, I don't know 291 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: how much longer he would have stayed. But and also 292 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 2: they they had it was like a factory. You were 293 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: getting these players. You didn't worry about anybody out bidding you. 294 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: Then all of a sortain you know, all of us, 295 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: a sudden, Georgia came out of nowhere, and it's like, uh, 296 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: Kirby smart knows what you do, Nick, and he's going 297 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: to do it and do it better than you. When 298 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: Saban spoke to the Boosters in Birmingham and he was 299 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: talking about we need to spend more because A and 300 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: M is buying all their players. Now, he didn't mean 301 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: to have it be translated the way it came out 302 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: that he's accusing A and M of cheating or whatever. 303 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: It was more of hey, in our house here, we 304 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: got to spend more. And that was the first inkling 305 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: that I had of Wow, all right, now, all of 306 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: a sudden, you can't just coach football, because if he 307 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: coaches football, he has no problems, just like Belichick. But 308 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: you know, Belichick wasn't getting players who who wanted to 309 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: go to New England to play. Nobody did when Brady 310 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: was there. Because Brady's there, we can win a championship. 311 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: So you had a golden ticket. Bill doesn't have that anymore. 312 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: And Saban has Georgia right there, and they're not leaving 313 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: and they're out Alabama and Alabama, but he did beat them. 314 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: His last win was against Georgia for the SEC title. 315 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: And you beat Auburn previous game, makes it easier, not bad, 316 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: all right. Rodney Harrison played for Bill Belichick. We'll get 317 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: his thoughts on his coach and the Patriots parting ways. Also, 318 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: Rodney is a finalist for the Hall of Fame as well, 319 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: so we'll talk to him coming up.

Rod your reaction to your 368 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: former coach no longer with the Patriots. 369 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 11: Good morning, Dan, first and foremost, and to me, this 370 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 11: was expected. Even if he had a successful season in 371 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 11: New England. I expected him to move forward after this season. 372 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 6: It's time. It's nothing else he can accomplish there. 373 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 11: It's at a point in time where I think he 374 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 11: needs a new environment, he needs a spark, he needs 375 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 11: something totally different than what he's had. I can say 376 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 11: it as a player, I played in San Diego for 377 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 11: nine years and then coming to New England gave me 378 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 11: that spark, gave me that kind of that new lease 379 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 11: on life that I needed. And you you know, I 380 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 11: hear you talking about all the different teams. I don't 381 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 11: know if that Charger fit would be a good fit. Yes, 382 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 11: you have a good quarterback in Justin Herbert. I was 383 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 11: thinking more hardball with the Chargers. I was thinking more 384 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 11: Belichick with the Washington Commanders. Atlanta would love him here. 385 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 6: I live in. 386 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 11: Atlanta, and he would be an absolute fit here because 387 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 11: he can bring that toughness, he can bring the ex'es 388 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 11: and O's version. They have some young talent out here 389 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 11: in Atlanta. Obviously they're gonna need a quarterback. But Coach 390 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 11: Belichick was so tremendous to me bringing me to New England, 391 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 11: giving me an opportunity, but not only me the underdog Dan. 392 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 11: You know, you think about Tom Brady being a sixth 393 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 11: round of Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, these type of guys 394 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 11: he brings in, he allows to play, and he develops 395 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 11: these players. And I tell you, I wouldn't be here 396 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 11: sitting in the media and really where I'm at in 397 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 11: my career if I didn't have an opportunity to play 398 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 11: for Coach Belichick because I learned so much from him. 399 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 3: You remember your first experience with Belichick. 400 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 11: I did, and we were sitting down just having a 401 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 11: conversation about football, and he told me, I remember when 402 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 11: you were in warm ups when we were playing you 403 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 11: guys in San Diego. You made a tackle in warm 404 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 11: ups and you knocked off one of your DB's helmets. 405 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: And when he told me that, wait, you did that 406 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 2: in warm ups to your teammate. 407 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, it was an accident and I knocked his help 408 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 11: it off and he remembered that. And when he told 409 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 11: me that, I looked at my agent and I said, hey, man, 410 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 11: let's get this deal done. This is where I need 411 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 11: to be. Denver had more money on the table for 412 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 11: me to go, but I wanted to play in New 413 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 11: England because I knew it was all football. 414 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: There was there a difference of Belichick and practice and 415 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: Belichick in the game as far as his style demeanor. 416 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 6: Not really. 417 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 11: He was always as sarcastic. He's sarcastic when it came 418 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 11: to it. The thing about practice, we worked so hard. 419 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 11: Practice was almost like a game. So when we came 420 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 11: to game time, we didn't get nervous because the demands 421 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 11: were so high in practice, you know, and we worked 422 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 11: really hard. We study, but Belichick is a machine. You 423 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 11: get a guy like him, you're getting a coach that 424 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 11: knows x's and o's. He knows the game. You're gonna 425 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 11: always have a great defense. And somebody that's I believe 426 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 11: that can elevate the locker room, and somebody that I 427 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 11: think has grown to learn the locker room, learn the 428 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 11: you know, just learn these young people, because these young 429 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 11: players are different than a lot of the players that 430 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 11: he coached. 431 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: But also he wasn't afraid a lot like Bill Parcells 432 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: that they would yell at the stars. Belichick would call 433 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: out anybody, including Brady. 434 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 6: Yeah. Now, I think that was the thing that surprised 435 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 6: me most when I came. 436 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 11: He's yelling at Tom Brady and he's like, what the heck, 437 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 11: how can you not complete this five yard out? 438 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 6: The guy at the luth High School can do that? 439 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 6: And it was like Wow. 440 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 11: So when you yell at Brady, everybody gets you know, 441 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 11: you get everybody's attention. But I tell you, man, Bill, 442 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 11: the way people perceive him in the media, compared to 443 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 11: the man that he is, he is just he's the best. 444 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 11: I mean, you can have a conversation with him. He's smart, 445 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 11: he's funny, he's sarcastic. But the best thing about Bill 446 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 11: is he's all football. And if you're around him, if 447 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 11: you're learning from him, you're going to be smarter, You're 448 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 11: gonna be better, you're gonna be more prepared. 449 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 6: And and that's the staple of it. 450 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 11: You look at all the great players that he's coached, 451 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 11: and how all of them talk about Bill. You know, 452 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 11: whether it's Gronk, whether it's Tom Brady, myself, Willie McGinnis. 453 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 11: I mean, we have just such a respect for that man. 454 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 2: He's Rodney Harrison, Football Night in America, analyst and Hall 455 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: of Fame finalist.

Brother. 459 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 11: I did everything I could do for fifteen years. And 460 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 11: if it happens, I'm elated. I'm grateful. If it doesn't happen, 461 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 11: I'm elated. I'm grateful for all the supporting of people. 462 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 11: You never get here to this situation, a kid from Marca, 463 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 11: Illinois in the room for the Hall of Fame finalists 464 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 11: without so many people helping you and so sacrifice and Dan, 465 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 11: so for me, I'm I'm I'm grateful, just you know, 466 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 11: to be in this situation and if it happens, great, 467 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 11: If it doesn't, we'll see what happens in the future. 468 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 2: Before I let you go the game that you guys 469 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: have Saturday night in Kansas City, it's going to be 470 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: really cold, and I'm wondering with that Miami team going 471 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: to Kansas City. Kansas City, it's still cold for them, 472 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 2: but you know, Miami, it is going to be a 473 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: shock to their systems. I'm sure as a defensive back 474 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: if you were going against Tyreek Hill or Jalen Waddle, 475 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: cold weather is their extra emphasis that you may have, 476 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 2: like how did you treat the Colts receivers when they 477 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: came to New England and that you know that kind. 478 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 11: Of play as physical as possible, that's the number one thing. 479 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 11: Play as physical as possible. If you get a couple 480 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 11: holding calls or you know, you know, a legal contact, 481 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 11: big deal, make it as physical as possible. Jam them 482 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 11: off the line of scrimmage. When they catch the ball, 483 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 11: hit them, hit them, hit them, hit them two three 484 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 11: guys at a time. 485 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 6: Try to rip the ball. 486 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 11: Those guys are going to be I'm so concerned about 487 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 11: the cold they're going to be distracted. The one way 488 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 11: they can come in and have a chance to win 489 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 11: is using that run game. They do a lot of 490 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 11: exotic things in a run game, but they're not going 491 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 11: to come out and pass the ball forty times against 492 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 11: the Kansas City Chiefs defense with Steve Spagnola a defensive 493 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 11: coordinator and beat these guys. 494 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 6: They're gonna have to run a football man. 495 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you is always thanks for your 496 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: thoughts on coach, and good luck this weekend. 497 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 6: Thank you man, always good to see you. 498 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: Dan.

Yeah, Rodney would tell me stories 505 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: all the time about Belichick, what he did, how he 506 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: did it, and the fact that he would yell at Tom. 507 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: He didn't care. He treated everybody the same. And this 508 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 2: is what Vince Lombardi did. I remember when I talked 509 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: to Paul Horning one time. We were on the same 510 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: flight and he got you know, he was having a 511 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: couple of drinks and he was telling me stories about Lombardi, 512 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 2: and you know, he got around to the famous quote 513 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 2: that he treated us all the same, He treated us 514 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: like dogs. But the business acumen of those players who 515 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: played for him successful business people. Not only successful football players, 516 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: but the number of players who played for Lombardi who 517 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 2: talk about his discipline and how that made them great businessmen. 518 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 2: And you know, these players talk about Belichick that way, 519 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: having structure, having discipline, you know, playing within yourself, knowing 520 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: what your limits are. But Rodney brought up a great point. 521 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 2: Belichick might not be great at seeing true talent in 522 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 2: front of him, but he's great at seeing talent that 523 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: maybe that player doesn't even know he has. When you 524 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 2: say Julian Edelman or Wes Welker, you know Gronk was 525 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 2: hurt in his final year in college, Troy Brown, Slater, 526 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: Kevin Falk, Julian Edelman, Brady James White. That's really part 527 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: of the genius of Belichick. I think of two things. 528 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: His ability to see something in somebody that they may not, 529 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 2: but his ability to adjust. And I go back when 530 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: he was the defensive coordinator with the Giants in the 531 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills, and I believe he 532 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 2: just put two defensive linemen in the game and then 533 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: everybody they basically said to Thurman Thomas, go ahead, you're 534 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: gonna have a good, good game. We're not letting Jim 535 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: Kelly beat us. And we thought, how crazy is this. 536 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: Therman Thomas was great, but they weren't letting Jim Kelly 537 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: beat them. And then they ended up winning in a 538 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: close game, a low scoring game. But I just thought, 539 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: oh my god, like just seeing it and saying, this 540 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 2: is what we're going to do, and that ability to 541 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: go out and from quarter to quarter, half to half 542 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 2: gained a game. There's no greater coach in football history 543 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: than Belichick ad doing that. 544 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, pullint, I love that Rodney story. I hadn't heard 545 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 4: that one before that. Rodney, when he was a Charger 546 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 4: cracked a teammate in a pregame and Belichick noticed it 547 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 4: and liked it, not like oh that guy's a cheap shot, 548 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 4: He's like, I need a guy like that. 549 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 2: But Rodney also talked about I think in that same 550 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: game he was on the kickoff team. He hit somebody 551 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: so hard he knocked himself out, and he goes that 552 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: was the only way I knew how to play. Fast 553 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: forward to when he went to New England. They were 554 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: a physical secondary. This is before the Legion of Boom. 555 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: You had that secondary there, ty law Lawyer malloy. They 556 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 2: were physical and won that Super Bowl when they were 557 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: more physical with the Rams wide receivers. Greatest show on turf. 558 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 2: That's nice, but we're going to hit you and hold 559 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: you as much as we can. And that's the reason 560 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: why they won that first Super Bowl when they beat 561 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: the Rams, that that defense and that secondary, because you thought, 562 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 2: all of that speed, how are they going to be 563 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: able to keep up? 564 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 3: And they did, and they. 565 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: Would beat the Colts because they were always going to 566 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 2: be physical. They were always going to be physical with 567 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison, they were going to make him pay. And 568 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: you know Belichick, he's always going to be a little 569 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: more prepared than you are. 570 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 3: Always, yes, Mark. 571 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 11: Even with the Malcolm Butler play, Belichick told him what 572 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 11: to do right like that is genius right there. 573 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: When Butler told us after the Super Bowl that on 574 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: Wednesday of Super Bowl week they were practicing and Malcolm 575 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: got there late on a play that you know, the 576 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: the offense was running, and Bill said, you sprint if 577 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 2: you see that, you sprint for the ball. And if 578 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: you see what you know Malcolm Butler did. He didn't 579 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: care about, you know, hitting a receiver. He was going 580 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: for the ball and being behind the play underneath the goldpost. 581 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: That night, I thought that maybe he just caused an incompletion. 582 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 2: I had no idea that he came up, came up 583 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: with the ball. They stole a super Bowl because of that. 584 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: But you know the fact that Bill sees it and 585 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 2: says it to you on Wednesday, Hey, if this happens, 586 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 2: you get there, you go right to the ball, get 587 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: to this spot. Yes, I mean that's that's remarkable. Stuff 588 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: really is. All right, we'll get some phone calls here, 589 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: pull question seat in which one did we go with? 590 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 7: Well, we have another one we could go with too. 591 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 7: This is a little bit of a callback, but harder 592 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 7: to replace. Mike Vrabel, Bill. 593 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: Ak snarky. How about we change this one up, Sue? 594 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 7: Yes, who will name the playoffs next year? Alabama, New England, Seattle. Well, 595 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 7: I'll say I'm trying to level it. That was a 596 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 7: suggestion by somebody on Twitter to fix the original poll. 597 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 7: Question was who has a better season who makes the playoffs? 598 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: Well, I would say Alabama because twelve teams will make 599 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I would say they have a better chance. 600 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 3: New England. 601 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: They got to get a quarterback and a few other 602 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 2: things there as well. And depends on where Bill goes. 603 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. 604 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 2: I could be weird to see Bill in sunshine. I'm 605 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: so used to tuning into a Patriot game and he's 606 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: there with you know, his hoodie covered up. It's bad weather, 607 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: rainy or snowing, and you're going to see him out 608 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: there in the sunshine. You know, he's gonna have a tan, 609 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 2: gonna have sunglasses on. 610 00:31:59,600 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 611 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 8: You store coach in the CFL, you know, like Saskatchewan 612 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 8: or something, Edmonton, get him up there. 613 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, So DraftKings odds. The best place for Bill to 614 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 2: be coaching week one next season is the Chargers, followed 615 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: by the Falcons, then the Commanders. Been not a head 616 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: coach of any NFL team, Then it's the Panthers and 617 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: the rest of the field. Now there's other teams that 618 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: are in here. The Titans, they got the Giants, the 619 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: Saints and the Jets long odds, but for Bill Belichick. Also, 620 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: after Nick Saban's announcement, Alabama went from plus six hundred 621 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: to win the national title to plus eight hundred. Not 622 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 2: sure who they're going to target here, but you know, 623 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 2: it felt like it was Dan Landing at Oregon because 624 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: you know he's been there before coaching. 625 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: Lane Kiffen has been there. 626 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: Dabo Sweeney maybe, but I think Dabo has cooled off considerably. 627 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 3: I don't think that they would entertain Lane Kiffin. 628 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 2: They might entertain him Sark Texas has got so much money, 629 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 2: and you got Arch Manning in the on deck circle there. 630 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 3: I mean, that's. 631 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 2: Tough to go in there and follow him, going in 632 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: to follow Belichick. If girod Mayo, the former Patriot who's 633 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: on the staff, former Patriot player, if he got the job, 634 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: I mean, that might be the best direction because then 635 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 2: it's our guy and let's support him, not somebody coming in. 636 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 2: Mike Grabel would be a wonderful choice. But if you 637 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: don't get him, girod Mayo, promote from within, that might 638 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 2: be the direction. Because the pressure, the pressure to follow Saban, 639 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: it's just bigger. It's bigger than following Belichick in my opinion, 640 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: because Belichick hasn't. 641 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 3: Done much the last four years. 642 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 2: When you follow Bear Bryant, when you follow John Wooden, 643 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 2: when you follow Aid offer Up, you always want to 644 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: be the guy who follows the guy who followed the guy. 645 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 2: But you know, trying to replace Saban where they expect 646 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: you to compete for a national championship. You go to 647 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: New England. Hey, let's try to make the playoffs here. 648 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 2: That's where the bar is right now. All right, let 649 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: me take a break. Got our play of the day 650 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 2: coming up. More phone calls as well.

Man, I don't know. 684 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 3: Okay, I'll tell you what. 685 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 12: But we're already taking a big trip, so I have 686 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 12: a question about that at the end. But I do 687 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 12: have a couple of comments, thank you for taking my call, DP, Dan, 688 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 12: that's happy Thursday, guys, man. Not a whole lot going on. 689 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 12: It's not a lot that you see three all time 690 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 12: coaches move on or retire. But to me, Nick Saban 691 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 12: leaving is the biggest story man. Two hundred and six wins, 692 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 12: twenty nine losses, nine championship game appearance in six titles. 693 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 12: I don't think you'll ever see a run again like 694 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 12: that in college football because to me, coaching college sports 695 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 12: is the hardest job in America. There's never any time off. 696 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 12: You're always recruiting. So at seventy two, wasn't surprised he 697 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 12: was retired. Who is retiring me too? But just a 698 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 12: big name to walk away from the game in the camp, 699 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 12: in the Super Bowl, surprisingly enough, I got the Bills 700 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 12: and the Cowboys, and the Bills beating the Cowboys in 701 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 12: the Super Bowl and my final crushing DP. We're going 702 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 12: to Hawaii with the baby. I don't know if you 703 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 12: ever flying with a baby, but I need some follow 704 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 12: the advice. I've never been on a plane with a 705 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 12: baby before. Have you got anything for me? 706 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 2: Okay, I wouldn't fly all the way to Hawaii. I 707 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 2: would fly to La or San Francisco, stay overnight there 708 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 2: and then get up in the morning, and then you're 709 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 2: gonna have a four hour flight. But you have a newborn, 710 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 2: so that's a little bit trickier because you can't say, hey, 711 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 2: here's a tablet, you know, go watch something. Your your 712 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: wife is probably going to have a tough flight because 713 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 2: she's gonna have to take care of the baby. But 714 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 2: I remember I took four kids, my wife and I 715 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 2: and we flew from New York and we stayed over 716 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: in San Francisco just so we didn't have that, you 717 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 2: know whatever, thirteen hours, and it was it was a 718 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 2: wise thing to do. But James, good luck with your 719 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: trip and maybe we'll see you in Las Vegas at 720 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Wess in Michigan, Hi, Wes, what's on 721 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 2: your mind today? 722 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 13: Pittyp just wanted to response to your bar question about 723 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 13: the three coaches. I know I have to take them 724 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 13: for kind of how I know them, and they're a 725 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 13: little bit different actually when they're not coaching. But I 726 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 13: could imagine you walk in and Bill is sitting there. 727 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 13: I just imagine what a raincoat on. It's kind of angry, 728 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 13: and go and you're talking to him with his beer, 729 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 13: and then you look over and you see Nick Saban, 730 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 13: and Nick Saban's always kind of reminded me of a grandpa. 731 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 13: How do you not have a four oh one? K? 732 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 6: All right? 733 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 13: You got to open it up? Come on, how do 734 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 13: you not have it's done? And Pete Carroll's probably got 735 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 13: to slick that hare. He's probably got an ipa and 736 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 13: he keeps pressuring you you got to try this ipa. 737 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 13: He's chomping on his gum. I don't really trust people 738 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 13: that are drinking beer with their gum, so I don't 739 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 13: know if I would take any of those places. 740 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 3: All right, thank you West. 741 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 2: Maybe Pete Carroll non alcoholic ipa chewing on his gun, 742 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 2: I gout surfing. Yeah. 743 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 6: Yeah. 744 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: We were wondering if you went into a bar and 745 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 2: they were all three at different tables and you could 746 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 2: sit down, and it depends on how many beers were 747 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 2: having because Belichick might be fun, although if he's still coaching, 748 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 2: he's not going to open up to a reporter or 749 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 2: you know, someone like me. Saban would and Pete Carroll 750 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 2: sounds like he still wants to coach. Also, can we 751 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 2: check how many first round picks has Nick Saban had 752 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,439 Speaker 2: in his career at Alabama because he has. 753 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 3: Twenty nine losses. 754 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 2: I believe at Alabama it's something like forty four for 755 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 2: so he has more first round draft picks than he 756 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 2: does losses. 757 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 3: Two stat of the Day, stant. 758 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 10: Of a Day, Statuta Day, scot of a Day. This 759 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 10: is the start of the day. 760 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 2: Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panani America, 761 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 2: the Official Trading Cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Saban 762 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 2: retires with two hundred ninety two career wins, sixth most 763 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 2: all time at the Division IE level. Brian Kelly has 764 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty three, so he is the most 765 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 2: wins among active coaches, one ahead of North Carolina's Mack Brown. 766 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 4: Yes, Paul forty nine first round draft picks for Nick sie. 767 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 2: Gee twenty nine losses, forty nine first round draft picks. 768 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out what each man made. It's 769 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 4: very murky because Belichick's salary has never been published and 770 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 4: estimate it's estimated at fifteen million. But you can make 771 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 4: the case of both of those were bargains for their franchise. 772 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 3: What was yeah, Saban was a bargain for Alabama. 773 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 2: No doubt because you can actually see the amount of 774 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: money that that football program brought in with the Patriots, 775 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 2: maybe you can with the value of the franchise. But 776 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 2: it'll be Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft at noon Eastern 777 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 2: a joint press conference. 778 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 4: Yes, poem, there's a couple posts yesterday about Nick Saban 779 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 4: for out of state enrollment in Alabama is up sixty 780 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 4: percent since he started there, and they like doubles the tuition, 781 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 4: all that stuff. 782 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll talk to Gary Daniels in longtime voice 783 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 2: of CBS Sports in the SEC.
