00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: with my bas friend Mike Harmon. For over forty years,

Speaker 1: tire Rack's been open. Customers find the right tires for how,

Speaker 1: mobile tire installation tirerac dot com. He is the way

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. We talked about it last night,

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: and I wonder how much the Steelers listen to the show.

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin resigns. We are a big deal in Pittsburgh.

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: We're kind of a big deal, kind of a big

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: deal up and down that corridor, no question about it.

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: Look the big NFL news of the day. Mike Tomlin,

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: after nineteen years, resigns as head coach of the Steelers,

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: and every single NFL analyst was very sure to say,

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: this is him resigning. He didn't get fired, as so

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: many want to make sure you know he didn't get fired,

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: not misappropriate. He's resigning. Okay, he's resigning, resigning, residing, resigning,

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: fem consciously uncoupling. Uh, well, yeah, that was a very

27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: conscious uncoupling. This is like when I take the thing

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: out of the train, like in the in the TV

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: show where it's like the bomb could go off on

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: the train. What do we have to do? Well, you

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: have to let the end of the train go and

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: save the other people. So the guy goes out and

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: the train just kind of goes down. We gotta go

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: fifty five miles an hour the whole time. We gotta

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: do that. We didn't they do the conscious ncoupling it.

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: That was a really good the That was a great move.

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: The Denzel Unstoppable with Pine, that was a good one.

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: I think it was in Pittsburgh. I want to say

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: it was in Pittsburgh. Denzel is a longtime train motorman

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: operator Chris Pine is new. They work together and a

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: train gets out of control. Uh, and they both have

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: to work to stop it. They're on the train. They

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: have to stop it because they can't. It's a really

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: really good movie.

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: It was Towns in Pennsylvania, filmed across West Virginia, New York, Ohio,

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: and Pennsylvania using the real railroads.

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Very under Probably one of my top five, well maybe

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: top three Denzel movies. I mean, that's how good it was.

49
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: That's how good it was. I'll go Training Day Glory

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: and I'll go that. Yeah.

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: Chris Pine star Trek into the Woods. Yeah, yeah, he's

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: done well.

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: He actually plays Captain Kirk in the movie. Yes, he

54
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: gets beamed down to the train, sees there's a problem,

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: but they can't beam him back up. But they send

56
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: down a couple of you know, the Chris Rock. They

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: send down Yoman Johnson and a couple of other people

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: and they wind up dying right away. Right, that's where

59
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: it goes. The Red Shirt guys, A you're gonna die,

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: guys in the Red Shirts, Yeah, you're gonna die. So

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has resigned as head coach of the Steelers. Look,

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: we talked about this last night that what do we

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: say the future was gonna be him? Right after the

64
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Steelers lost last night, it was I guarantee you this

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: is how the offseason is gonna go. They're gonna sit

66
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: down with each other and the Steelers are going because look,

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers needing to understand if they replace Mike Tomlin,

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: who clearly has hit his expiration date with the Steelers,

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: they were going to have to understand that the guy

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna go out there and get is gonna be better,

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: potentially could be better. Not a lot of guys are

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna be better because Tomlin's still for his faults the

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: last ten years. You know, still you win the division

74
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: almost every year, you go to the playoffs, you play

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game. That's how it works. So it was

76
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a sit down, like, hey, if you come back,

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you have to understand that we need a modern offense.

78
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: We have to treat the NFL twenty twenty six like

79
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: its twenty twenty six. We can't run the offense like

80
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: it's nineteen eighty seven. And look, I love nineteen eighty seven.

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Guns n' Roses came out with appetite for destruction. The

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: METSA just won the World Series. I mean, eighty seven

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: was a great year. I was watching Tony Katain dancing

84
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: on White Snake's car and like seventeen different videos. I

85
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: mean eighty seven, I love eighty seven. Eighty seven was awesome.

86
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: But this is how Mike Tomlin likes to run his offense,

87
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: so that the conversation would be, if you're up, you

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: gotta be up for a franchise quarterback, a different way

89
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: of doing things instead of, hey, the quarterback is a

90
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: necessary evil, and we're gonna load up on defense. We're

91
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: gonna run the football as much as we have to.

92
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: We'll throw the football and we have to. We win

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: clutch games. That's how Mike Tomlin wants to win. If

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: you are on board with the big changes, great, If not,

95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: maybe we consciously uncouple. And it happened really fast that

96
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin resigned as head coach. And honestly, as much

97
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: as this is a breakup where hey, it's nobody's fault,

98
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: it's nineteen years and both sides need to move in

99
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: different directions, this is way better for the Steelers because

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers value success differently than any other team. Right,

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: I'd be more than happy to have my team be

102
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: someone that wins nine to ten games a year, sneaks

103
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, loses a playoff game, I'd love the

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Jets that I haven't a playoff game in fifteen years, right,

105
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I love that. But the Steelers it's different.

106
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: And the Steelers you can't keep running your team like this.

107
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: You need fresh ideas to come in and run, especially offensively,

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: like it's twenty twenty six. You need a franchise quarterback

109
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: that can throw the football all over the field. You

110
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: need to be bold and free agency. You can't just

111
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: say well, we'll go get DK Metcalf where e If

112
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf was still great, the Seahawks would have kept him.

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean they would They didn't have to trade him.

114
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: They didn't have to trade they could have kept him.

115
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: You have a couple of Jags at running back. Jalen

116
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Warren is okay and Friarmuth is not a great tight end.

117
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: You have nothing offensively that scares anybody. You traded it.

118
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: You couldn't figure it out with George Pickens. You trade

119
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: away as a Pro Bowl year with the Dallas Cowboys.

120
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: You need something new. This is great. This is a

121
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: great day for the Steelers simply because now they can

122
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: move into twenty twenty six in the NFL and as

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: bad new as everybody else. Yeah, because all the other

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: teams are saying, yeah, well, you know, they're tough thing

125
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: to play against, but hey, we get them in the playoffs,

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat them because they can't keep up with

127
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: us offensively. They couldn't keep up with a with a

128
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Texans team last night that had the quarterback fumble five

129
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: times and throw a pick. You couldn't keep up with

130
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: that kind of a team where they had two defensive touchdowns.

131
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: You couldn't put enough points on the board offensively. You

132
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: needed something new. Great, you know, big I understand the

133
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: day for both sides, better day for the Steelers.

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, come down to it. It's that difficult decision that

135
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: you make. And we talked about it a lot. We

136
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: talked about it during the course of the year. Right

137
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: when the hot seat, it was Harbaugh was him, it

138
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: was Tom Win. It was back and forth. And now

139
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: they're both out, uh, and we get new blood and

140
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: end of an era in the NFL. Now it's all

141
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: nothing but short tenured coaches outside of the Andy Reid

142
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: out there, and who knows how long he sticks around.

143
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: At this point, he.

144
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: Think about the AFC, Nord Zach Taylor's now the last

145
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: guy stands. He's the only coach there's only forget about

146
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: coach of the longest tenure, he's the only two. He

147
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: just defeated the Kurgan. He's the only You want to

148
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: play a game tomorrow if you're the Bengals, because the

149
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: other teams don't have that coach. At least we have

150
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: a head coach.

151
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the other team still have better defenses, but

152
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: we okay. So then you have a quarterback that doesn't

153
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: want to play with you.

154
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Bengal if you played the game tomorrow,

155
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals the way they are now versus the other

156
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: teams without a head coach, doesn't matter.

157
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: They Aaron Rodgers could draw plays in the dirt against

158
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: the Bengals defense.

159
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Well, it can't be you go lng So you can't

160
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: throw the ball more than one point five areas well,

161
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: and that's okay, go short, I'll throw it to you.

162
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: That's okay. They have no pass rush, so you got

163
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: plenty of opportunity and he's probably not gonna get hit

164
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: in the head. That leads to a touchdown that I

165
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: think we were the only people to actually raise our

166
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: hand and say what the hell is going on here?

167
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: Because the final score got out of sorts. But for

168
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: Tomlin and the Steelers, one of the difficult parts of

169
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: it all is, and we've quoted it oftentimes, we go

170
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 3: back to the lyrical genius of the song Helter skelter,

171
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: when I get to the bottom, I get back to

172
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: the top of the slide where I stop and I

173
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: turn and I go for a run. You've never bottomed out.

174
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: You've never had that go get that next quarterback. Okay,

175
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph or whatever. You drafted guys, but they weren't

176
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: guys that were projected to be go to franchise. I

177
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: hate the term load, the term generational guys. You haven't

178
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: been in a position to go anywhere near that for

179
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: years because you're right on the fringe of the playoffs

180
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: or just inside it. Right So you're drafting middle first

181
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: round or worse every year. Right now, you're defensive heavy.

182
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: Now you're starting to age out, and you'll get away

183
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: from some of these contracts fairly fast. But that's the

184
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: the other dirty little secret to all of this is

185
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: that you've never had the opportunity for a full organizational reset,

186
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: even as you go into twenty twenty six, you're not there.

187
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: And if you look at the quarterback market, what the

188
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: hell is there that has you excited? Yeah, you get

189
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: your choice of Kyler Murray or Tua that you have

190
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 3: to go give up assets for. Yeah, let me get

191
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: on board that.

192
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: Orcus or at least if you identical, because look, the

193
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Steelers do a good job identifying talent. If you identify someone, Hey,

194
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: we think Ty Simpson is our guy. We think garrettnus

195
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Meyer's our guy, you identify taking a quarterback of the

196
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: future in the first couple of rounds.

197
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: Sure, but but it's the point of you know, we

198
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: we go in, we get that guy that might be

199
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: that top of the line starter. Say what you will

200
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: about Ben Roethlisberger, there was a long period of time

201
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: where he was in that you know, if we did

202
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: the four horsemen kind of thing, that he's still playing

203
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: meaningful football and he was tough enough to drag down

204
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: that he was going to make a play on you.

205
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: He didn't have to like it. You didn't have to

206
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: love it. They had a good ground game here. You've

207
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: got enough to be dangerous on any given Sunday, but

208
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: also less of an offense to where Arthur Smith you

209
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: were hamstrung, Right, they still played one more game than

210
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: George Pickens.

211
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: And company, just so you know.

212
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so in the end the Steelers can still say

213
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: we won. Sure, Sure they can't, Yeah, because George Pickens.

214
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: There's no guarantee he's staying in Dallas either.

215
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: You know.

216
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: But just think if you had the George Pickens from

217
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: this year in Dallas this year wits.

218
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: If George Picketts wanted to be that guy, he would

219
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: have been there. The one thing you got to give

220
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: my Tomin credit for is he put up and condoned

221
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: or maybe even cajoled some of that that level of

222
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 3: lunacy with the wide receiver and running back position until

223
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: it was no longer required for their continued support of

224
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: Steelers athletics and move them on. But it's always tough

225
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: in these circumstances because you can't say you did a

226
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: bad job like most of these other jobs. You guys

227
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: get bounced, You're like, hey, it's done, it's just it's

228
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 3: just stay. You're just running in place and it's only appropriate.

229
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: And we talked about it yesterday, right tying our besting

230
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: Marvin Lewis in terms of most consecutive oustings in the

231
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: first round of a first of a playoff run. Because

232
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: Marvin Lewis was the same thing. Took the bangles from

233
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: the dregs and got them to the where they were stable,

234
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 3: but they never got over. We'll eventually got to move

235
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: over with Mike Tomblin. You're just running in place at

236
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: this point. You're not even running up that hill.

237
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Right and now here. Don't break, don't stop stop when

238
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: I play. I know he said nothing. Harmon said, nothing

239
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: that you need to worry about. Plateaued and wait, wait,

240
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: take that and play that one back. Harmon said, nothing

241
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: you need to worry about. Uh sure, but here's the

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: thing about Tomlin. Right to go from from the Steelers

243
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: to Tomlin, Right, great day for Tomlin and a great

244
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: day for the Steelers. For Tomlin, Yes, he's a terrific coach. However,

245
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: whatever winds up this year, maybe it's a couple of years.

246
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: He's doing television already. Andrew Marshan is a big business reporter,

247
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: a sports business reporter, said he's gonna have his pick

248
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: of different networks, and Fox maybe would be in the

249
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: lead for Tomlin services he get a multimillion dollar offer

250
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: to do TV. Is he gonna jump right back into

251
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: be a coach now? Maybe not. I would think Tomlin

252
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: after this is gonna wait out and pick the job

253
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: he wants. More in twenty twenty seven, that seems more

254
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: because right now it's like, okay, so is Tomlin gonna

255
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: be hind the list in New York? Does he want

256
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: to go to Atlanta? I mean it's it's late in

257
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: the game for him for this year, but a year

258
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: of because he's still young, a year off to go

259
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: wait and come back and do it. But this is

260
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the thing, like, like I approach Mike Tomlin like i'd

261
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: approach and I would have approached interviewing Belichick for a

262
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: job when he was leaving the pay when he when

263
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: he left the Patriots and they decided he was he

264
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: was out. I would say, listen, if we're gonna give

265
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: you this job, you need to run this team with

266
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: a modern day style of coaching. And I don't mean

267
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: that you need to change who you are, but this

268
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: is the type of team that's going to win, and

269
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: we need a team that is dynamic offensively, that can

270
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: throw the football up and down the field, Like this

271
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: is how we're gonna win. You tried it your way

272
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: and it didn't win. Right, You tried last years with

273
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger when he had no air yards at every every

274
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: ball to Deontay Johnson was two yards past the line

275
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage looking for yak, Like, you can't run the

276
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: if you think if you're gonna run the team that way. Great, Hey,

277
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: awesome to meet you. It's great, but we're gonna go

278
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: someplace else. Like, he's got to understand that he's got

279
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: to grow and the next head coaching job doesn't have

280
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: to be his philosophy. But you know what, Yes, we'll

281
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: do it. I have an offense coidator in mind, who's

282
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna come in. We're gonna let it to the scoreboard

283
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: and do all kinds of things because that's how that's

284
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: what's gonna get him another job doing this the last

285
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: ten years. Hey, it's great, it's what he did. We

286
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: like him, but man, we don't. We don't want that

287
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: kind of offense here. That doesn't sell tickets, doesn't excite

288
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: the fan base, doesn't do anything we guaranteed to win.

289
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: This is a different era in the NFL, and what

290
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: we've seen from Tomlin in the last ten plus years.

291
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: Is that his philosophy as the NFL has passed him by.

292
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: And so if he go, if you change, you tell

293
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: me you change, and I believe you, then okay we

294
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: can do something here and you come in to be

295
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: our coach. But if you say I know what wins

296
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: and this is how to win, then I'll say, okay,

297
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna go someplace else.

298
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: Just go someplace where you have the starter kit that

299
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: includes a serviceable quarterback, which out of those eight teams,

300
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: those are pretty rare. You'd be looking squarely at the

301
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: New York Football Giants. And even then you got to

302
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: make sure Jackson Dart isn't in the tent right now. Well,

303
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: the people who are allowed to see him in the tent,

304
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 3: you know they're not. Everybody's allowed to go in the

305
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: tent and.

306
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Say is he in there? Fake? Is he in there? Scato?

307
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: Can you go in there and see if he's.

Speaker 1: every single night. So we talked about the Tomlin situation

346
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, who resigned as head coach of the Steelers

347
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: today after nineteen years. Likely, I'm in theory he will

348
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: take a year off, probably do some TV, and then

349
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: pick his job next year.

350
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he said he wouldn't go to the dark side.

351
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: That's what he called the media.

352
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll see. Bill Belichick went to the media.

353
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: That happened. Sterling Sharp went to the media everybody. Oh,

354
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: the media is evil, the media is Oh you know,

355
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm a mean sterling Sharp wouldn't talk to anybody his

356
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: entire NFL correct of fame for a long time, wouldn't

357
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: talk to anyone. And then at the end, Oh you know,

358
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm on TV. I'm gonna talk one of those guys

359
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: all those years ago that I would try to argue

360
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: with people's like I watched him as a packer. He

361
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: was fantastic and he hated everybody.

362
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Reggie Jackson, I think keep on going on.

363
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna do that. Hey sure, sure, Oh, Randy

364
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: john I think he said Randy Jackson for a second,

365
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: He's always been on TV. Look, dog, look dog. I

366
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: don't want to be the head coach of the of

367
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL. I want to sit here

368
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: and tell Simon Cowley stupid. That's all I want to do.

369
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, I mean everybody says dogs, Yeah, okay, Oh,

370
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: here's millions of dollars to go sit and look. Obviously,

371
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: Fox would probably be the favorite because he knows Jay

372
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: Glazer for a long time. Right, Jay's talked to us

373
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot A couple of times where Tomlin's Tomlin Sun

374
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: was at his house when Jay's doing it. Hey, I'm

375
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: having a party here, got a bunch of people here,

376
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: tom So that seemingly would be the leader. You go

377
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: and do TV. I'm sure it's a Sean Payton kind

378
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: of timeline where I go for a year, the Steelers

379
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: retain his rights, they will trade him to a team

380
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: uh in a year, and they'll recoup some sort of

381
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: draft stock for him.

382
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: It's funny, right because this week we were talking about

383
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: Harbaugh and as he leaves again, no, no, no, no, no no,

384
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: He's make it very clear. We got to it. Have

385
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: the fifty five million dollars that are still there. They

386
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: owe him that money or you'll have to pay against

387
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: it very much here with the no no, the Steelers

388
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: have Mike tom Win's right, yeah, this is not a

389
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 3: They're not finished at all here in this So. I

390
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 3: love those little details as opposed to all these other

391
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: coaching displacements.

392
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: Where he's like, yoh, no, we never want to see

393
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, look, obviously, would he get a

394
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: head coaching gig in this cycle if he jumped in. Sure. However,

395
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: the Giants seemed to be pretty far down the road.

396
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: With John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski. Right, you saw Jackson

397
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: Dart in the sideline last weekend saying harbarster Fanski. It's like, oh, okay,

398
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: someone asked him, Hey, what's going on? You read him

399
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: saying Harbarsterfanski. So that's the number one opening. The Falcons

400
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: also is a pretty good opening. But Tomlin needs something

401
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: big market, right, you know, is he really gonna go

402
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh to the Falcons. So I kind of feel

403
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: like it's the Giants or Bust for Tomlin. And because

404
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: they're so far downroad, these other couple of guys, Yeah,

405
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna wait a here, because honestly, I can't recommend

406
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: going to Tennessee or Arizona or the Raiders. I can't

407
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: recommend any of those jobs. But that's the thing.

408
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 3: When you look around, and this is where we had

409
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: our Dante More conversation, it kind of applies here. Guess

410
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: who's still gonna be in the coaching cycle The next

411
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: time you're looking for jobs, it's gonna be most of

412
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: these same spot.

413
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: If I don't take the Raiders' job this year, it'll

414
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: be open again next year and I can take it

415
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: if I want.

416
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: Either one or two years down the line, it'll come

417
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: back open again.

418
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: I mean, will you talk about coaching openings. There's a couple, right,

419
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: because even though there's fots like can you you can't

420
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: recommend any of those places?

421
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I look at Atlanta right where you

422
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: got a defense front sevens pretty good. You're in a

423
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: division you can go win, but you still have the

424
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 3: same question, who the hell is your quarterback?

425
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, you get Bijan, you got Pitts if he stays,

426
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: and you got Drake lun So you got some building blocks.

427
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: Defensive line wasn't awful, but again that that division is gettable, right,

428
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: and before the thing is before we get to Tomlin,

429
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: like this is where you know different from Mike Florio

430
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: had to report on Pro Football Talk earlier today that

431
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: potentially the Giants have already made a big offer to

432
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh in the twenty million dollar range because that

433
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: story leaked this week and that he wants control over

434
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: the roster and twenty million dollars a year. Now, the

435
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: money thing is okay because it's free money and twenty more,

436
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: it's not well also, it's not part of the salary cap.

437
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: It's our part of it's an owner can pay. You

438
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: could pay twenty million dollars for a great head coach. Right. Eventually,

439
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: the NFL is going to start paying their head coaches

440
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: like colleges are. They're gonna understand that you have a

441
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: really good one, you got to do everything you can

442
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: to keep them and not get coached by another team

443
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: or not figure that out. So it's going to be

444
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: a case of hey, twenty million dollars suddenly. Oh remember

445
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: we would get great coaches for seven million dollars a year,

446
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: eight million dollars year. Boy, that was great. Now it's

447
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna be coaches are going to get even more money.

448
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna get more with their worth. So those guys

449
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: are gonna get the money. Not again if you had

450
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: to worry about salary cap or some kind of of

451
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: but you don't, so it's it's fine. But overall, the

452
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: fit for John Harbaugh is way better in Atlanta than

453
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: it is in New York. New York is New York

454
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: is the best job. Clearly, New York is the best job. However,

455
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: the the chance of success is way better from in Atlanta, because,

456
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: as you said, the division is terrible. I mean, it's

457
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: not the AFC North, which is absolutely terrible and only

458
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: as one head coach right now Wadell Joe Burrow says, hey,

459
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: I want to trade. They're gonna say, hey, we're canceling

460
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: the AFC. You want it, you want us to fire

461
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: the coach. We're canceling the AFC North. No, nobody wants

462
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: to any of these teams. Joe Burrow wants out, there's

463
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: nobody we care. We're canceling the AFC North and we're

464
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: gonna let Lamar Jackson go to auction, so uh, just

465
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, bid whatever you think you want for Lamar Jackson.

466
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: There you go. We're gonna get rid of that division entirely.

467
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: But this is a division that's terrible. That what this

468
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: team is, they have a lot of young talent, and

469
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: what they do is they need a situation where you

470
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: need an adult in the room that can, that has

471
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: the cachet to handle what's happening with the question a

472
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: quarterback between Pennix and Kirk Cousins, figuring that out, how

473
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna work this year, getting the most out of

474
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix junior, who has not been great right, figuring

475
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: out how to get the most out of an offense

476
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: when it's revolving around Bejon Robinson, who's the best running

477
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: back in the NFL? Can you get the most out

478
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: of Drake London? Do you want to extend Kyle Pitts?

479
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: Can you make Kyle Pitts finally after five years into

480
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: the guy we thought he was coming out of college? Right?

481
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: These are all things that a guy with cashe needs

482
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: to come in right because Raheem Morris did a pretty

483
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: good job there, but in the end, is his coaching

484
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: acumen is not? You know, with all those young players,

485
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: he never could get them together right now, There's other

486
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: situations where if you're looking to start things over again,

487
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: you want to start like Raheem Morris is your guy,

488
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: right to go in and say, hey, we need a

489
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: guy to get us from A to B. Raheem Morris

490
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: is that guy? Now B two C. That's a different thing.

491
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: So John Harbaugh having the cache, who's not gonna listen

492
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: to him when he walks into it and says, look,

493
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing. You have a lot of

494
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: young talent. You gott to Harness and get on the

495
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: same page. Atlanta is has too much talent to beat

496
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: the Bills and lose to the Jets, right Like, I mean,

497
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: this is this is the type of season they had

498
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: or this this is Atlanta, right like he could have

499
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: won the division if they had just beaten the Jets. Right.

500
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: So this is where you need someone coming in that's

501
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: got that that that image and the optic of what

502
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: he says we're gonna go do, right Like like the

503
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: big saying about Bill Parcells, I forget. One of his

504
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: players who signed with him in free agency says, you

505
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 1: know he he's the type of coach that tells you,

506
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: you know, what's your favorite food? And I say cheese,

507
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: and Parcel says, there's cheese on top of that mountain,

508
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: go get it. And I run up that mountain for

509
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: him to go get that cheese, right Like, if you

510
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: tell me there's good cheese top, I will run. You

511
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: would run up that hill, yeah, I mean, depending on

512
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: how big of a hill it is, because I don't

513
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: want to run too much. Run well, I could run now, No,

514
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: I'd write with you, my new body, Now I could

515
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: run a little bit. Did you up that hill a

516
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: little bit? Now? But like, you know, that's the type

517
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: of coach that horrible. He's won the Super Bowl he is.

518
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: He's crafted an offense, he's crafted the team that's competitive

519
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: every year, that stays in it, and yeah, did his

520
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: time run the course after eighteen years? You have, of

521
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: course at this, But between him and Stefanski, like, Okay Stefanski,

522
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: I feel like he's a better fit for the Giants

523
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: because he's a quarterback guru. He's the guy that I've

524
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: won and competed in Cleveland, which was a train wreck

525
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: with all kinds. I don't care who you gave me

526
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: a quarterback. We still went out there and we either

527
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs or my team didn't quit, or

528
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: I got the quarterback to play well, whether it was

529
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders or whether it was Joe Flakko off his

530
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: couch and and Stefanski going into New York. That's what

531
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart needs. This is a Jackson Dart driven team

532
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: with all the weapons you got to make sure you

533
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: are unlocking him. And Stefanski is much more of a

534
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: quarterback guy than John Harbaugh is. So that's why I

535
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: feel like the fits, even though the Giants are going

536
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: for John Harbaugh, I feel like the fits are kind

537
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: of opposite, where Stefanski's a much better fit in New

538
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: York and Harball's a better fit in at Lant. Yeah,

539
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Uh.

540
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: You know, in the quarterback position, it's always just been

541
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: kind of set it and forget it for Harbaugh all

542
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 3: those years. So that's something to navigate. We know that

543
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins restructured his deals, so the question there and

544
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: how quickly in the rehab process will Penix be ready?

545
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: How available is he?

546
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: Like?

547
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: You've still got to navigate that, right because for John Harbaugh,

548
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: he had Flacco and goes straight into Lamar Jackson. That's

549
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: pretty good run. Not many teams have been able to

550
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: do that, right. We always cite what you did in

551
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: Green Bay, going from Farv to Rogers into what Jordan

552
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: love is and you can decide how much you love

553
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: or hate him and Lafleur while you're at it. But

554
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: for John Harbaugh down in Atlanta, all of that fits

555
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: to his personality and the way he's run that squad

556
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: for a load these many years. For Stefanski, to your point,

557
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: he's gotten the best out of a hodge podge of quarterbacks.

558
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: And you're also looking at coming into a pretty good

559
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: defense and being in Cleveland, the poison pens have been

560
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: out right, there's no positivity there. It lasts about three

561
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 3: weeks and then it blows off like you know whatever

562
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: in the next storm. It's that when when Cleveland was

563
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 3: playing well, like even in the Coach of the Year seasons,

564
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: it was always at arms length, like always looking to

565
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 3: find waiting for the factory of sadness to show its face,

566
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: and oftentimes it did and he finds himself and the

567
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: odd man out.

568
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: Even though Barry was the guy that.

569
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: Saddled everything with the contract, you know at Haslam's urging,

570
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: going back to the Deshaun Watson stuff that ham strung

571
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: them quite often when it came to adding more players

572
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: in Atlanta. The one thing, though, you still do need

573
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: to figure out whether you're gonna franchise Kyle Pitts or

574
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: keep him around or move away from him. But that's

575
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 3: that's the minute of it for Stefanski in New York again,

576
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: you know the noise, You've got a pretty good defense

577
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: that's already installed. You got a division that's very uncertain.

578
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 3: We'll get into what Philadelphia did today, but the the

579
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: arms length they've got, Nick Sirianni. You look at Dallas,

580
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: they can't get out of their own way, all right,

581
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: and then Washington had that surge for a year and

582
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: and drifted right back down. Now, I'd be remiss if

583
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: I didn't point out the fact that right now, your guy,

584
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor my guy.

585
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Why isn't my guy guy? Because he's the last man

586
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: stand He's the only he's everybody's guy. He's the Highland.

587
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: You can't just be my He's every He's the only

588
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: guy in that division. Is like bladder. I am the

589
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: president of everybody. I am the of everybody.

590
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: Does he get a prize for surviving everybody else?

591
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm the head coach of the NFC North, which team

592
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: the entire division?

593
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: I run everything. But right now, Zach Taylor is tied

594
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 3: for the fifth longest tenure of a head coach in

595
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: the National Football League. Yeah, you got Andy Reid McVeigh,

596
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: Shanahan McDermott, and then you've got Zach Taylor and Matt

597
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: Lafleur at seven years.

598
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Everybody else has been cycled out repeated Well, remember, Zach

599
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: Taylor has been to a Super Bowl, So remember he

600
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: does have that's resume. It's okay, you know he's got

601
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: You only get to trade on that for so many

602
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: or why he's the only one left in the Hey?

603
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: How long? How many? How much said is left in

604
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: the hour glass?

605
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: Man?

606
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, Frostburg, you know where he's going.

607
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: You have this information here?

608
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so everything you guys just said about John Harbaugh

609
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 4: is irrelevant.

610
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, wow, okay, I want to hear this. Go ahead.

611
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: I'm so sure that we actually have audio of his

612
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 4: press are already we do?

631
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: who's got a lot in common with Kevin Stefanski. They

636
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 5: If you didn't hear, head coach Mike Tomlin did down

637
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 5: from the Steelers' job after nineteen seasons. Today, he still

638
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 5: has two years left on his contracts, so the team

639
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 5: retains his rights. He never had a losing season, but

640
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 5: lost his last seven playoff games, the last five by

641
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 5: double digits, including last night. The Eagles removed Kevin Pittulo

642
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 5: as offensive coordinator this past offseason. He was promoted to

643
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 5: replace Kellen Moore. Philadelphia's offense just led the league in

644
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 5: three and outs this past season. The Chargers fired offensive

645
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 5: coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin. With

646
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 5: all the injuries, the Chargers used twenty nine different offensive

647
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: line combinations this past year, and Justin Herbert was hit

648
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 5: more than any other quarterback. Roman had been an assistant

649
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 5: for Harbaugh at Stanford and with the forty nine ers. Also,

650
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 5: Carolina will pick up the fifth year option on quarterback

651
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: Bryce Young's contract for twenty twenty seven. The Ravens want

652
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 5: to renegotiate the contract of quarterback Lamar Jackson by March

653
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 5: to lower his cap number. NFL free agency starts in March,

Speaker 2: Got a history between the two.

767
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: He goes right to work.

768
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 5: Oh you're a weapon, Yama.

772
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: but it's true.

773
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 3: But getting post horizon and I love the fact that

774
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 3: there's some u some hatred there, there's some some angst

775
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: and some anger, and and that it goes out on

776
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: the court. The fact that this is like the forty

777
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 3: seventh time they're matching up, yeah, before the end of

778
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 3: January is a problem. Yeah.

779
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: No, it's a uh, it's a hey, they're trying to

780
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: make this rival Let's kind of make this rivalry happen. Man,

781
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: watch this. We can't watch this on Peacock. We can't

782
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: make a d and Luca happen. So, uh, you know,

783
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: we gotta do something here. Uh look the other big

784
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: NBA story. I'll have more in this developing stories the

785
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: night goes on. Anthony Davis is now out for the

786
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: season after a hand injury that he suffered the other

787
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: day just just knocking his hand in, you know, trying

788
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: to trying to break up a play.

789
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

790
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: He is. His hand injury is gonna keep out for

791
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: the season, however, potentially could return in the playoffs. Now

792
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: the Mavericks are not going to the playoffs. You have

793
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: to worry about that. But this is why the Mavericks

794
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: are continuing to talk about trading him because his potential

795
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: return for the playoffs, he could help a team. So

796
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: even though the injury here, he's out for the year.

797
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: A D says no, AD says no, he's okay. It

798
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: looked like a pretty inocu like I'm just banging my

799
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: hand against your jersey, and oh man, I'm out now.

800
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's two things about this is One is

801
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: that I can't trade for a D because I can't

802
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: hold my breath every time he gets on the court.

803
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: I can't do it.

804
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 4: Man.

805
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: I thought, Hey, they got the best trade they could

806
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: for Luca with a D. But now he can't even

807
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: stand in the court. Over a year with Dallas, he

808
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: get when he plays, he's still great, But I can't

809
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: hold my breath. You can't hold your breath for a

810
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: guy you count on so much. So I know they

811
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: want to deal him, and I know somebody's gonna jump

812
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: in and eventually feel you know, hey, I'm getting a

813
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: little antsy here. We need something else. Hey let's go

814
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 1: in for a D. Maybe it's the next somebody's gonna

815
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: do it, but I can't do it because he's he's

816
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: too big an acquisition to be someone that well, I

817
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: know I'm not gonna have him for the playoff run.

818
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: I know he's just gonna get hurt. I can't count

819
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: on him. Well, I wouldn't have traded for him before then.

820
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean last year. You can make the argument, all right,

821
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: here's what we need to do. This situation in Dallas

822
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: is untenable. Go find some assets, make him run, and

823
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: see what you can put together here. You come back

824
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: and you've got some injury long hint, injury history on

825
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: the veterans on your squad to try to get yourself

826
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: back to whole around Cooper flag. And clearly has it worked.

827
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: And now, I mean he's been in and out of

828
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: the lineup much of the year and now you don't

829
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 3: even know if he's available at all until next fall. No,

830
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 3: I mean it's yeah, long ago. I mean, look, it

831
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: goes back to his operation shutdown all those years ago.

832
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: When he wanted to go to the Lakers.

833
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 3: He was raised the eyebrow like all right, eye opening,

834
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: got what he wanted, played well and had big runs

835
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. But you're at the point where it's

836
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 3: a declining asset and for what you have to do

837
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: to match money forget about it.

838
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is what makes it even tougher for

839
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Mavericks because not only Okay, you're gonna trade him, but

840
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: how hard it is because aad is a guy that

841
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: they have to trade, right, because it hasn't worked. It's

842
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: been a year, and he's a daily reminder to the team,

843
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: the fan base, the NBA that they traded Luca and

844
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: everybody's still mad. Right, you tried to make it work

845
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: for you. He can't stay healthy, so you got to

846
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: move on from him because he again, he's a walking

847
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: reminder of the Luca trade, So move on. You're building

848
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: around Cooper flag trade, Anthony Davis, Right, I get that,

849
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: But how are you going to How is the team

850
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: gonna make the money work and give up assets whatever

851
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: they are for a d for a guy that baby

852
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: can play this year. Maybe maybe he's healthy. I mean,

853
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: you are absolutely stuck if you're the map.

854
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that the report that he's gotta have surgery.

855
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: You all better stop. List of these lies on these

856
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 3: apps like that, on these apps.

857
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: That calling where I do I do fantasy on sleeper.

858
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: The sleeper app is lying. Yeah, we got more NBA

859
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: on the way. But straight ahead we get back into

860
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: the biggest NFL story that I keep it here. Jason

861
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: and Mike fox Man Blank the Packers. Yeah, well that's

862
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing, right blank the Packers, Blank the Packers.

863
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Who knew Ben Johnson? Was this this chesty all the time?

864
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you gotta be uh to call games

865
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: like he does.

866
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: Oh that is true. That is true.

867
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: Also, I mean there's still the underlying issue that needs

868
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 3: to be addressed.

869
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: Is it a.

870
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 3: Chess match you're playing when you can't really get anything

871
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 3: going in the first hal? Are you playing a rope

872
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: of dope kind of more?

873
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: You're throwing darts and hoping to warm up at some point.

874
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: That's what it is. I can't die there, it is.

875
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm warmed up now.

876
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: I thought you just come out of play tembo like

877
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: it's the final two minutes right off the juke.

878
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: Who's stopping Pooka. Here's what we're doing. We are going

879
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: to hypnotize the Bears into thinking that every minute of

880
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: this game is the final two minutes of the four

881
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: I think that's the only way to operate. Just like life. Man, Guys,

882
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: you're always in a two minute drill lived in the

883
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: fullest bet. Bears are up sixty seven and nothing. I

884
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: can't believe they're playing every minute like it's the Latin.

885
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: Ah now I see, now I want to know today. Baby,

00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 4: It's actually the temperature of the sausages.

890
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: This sausage, you know, the Wieners Circle offering hot dogs

891
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: for life if the Bears win.

892
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl. Yeah, that's a that's a that's a

893
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: bit of a risk right now. Is this number number

896
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: mean that's where you are, and you gotta play Sam Donald.

897
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, take down the Rams, then you go get Sam

898
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: Donald and you're the most opportunistic defense in the game.

899
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: Doors open, man, Doors open for the Bears. I mean really,

900

Speaker 1: When that happens, this may be, this may be their

905
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: toughest game. We had passed the Rams. We're going to

906
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Let's think about that. How fantastic is this? Now?

908
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations. Steve Winwood was trending earlier today

909
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: on social media speaking of being back in the high life.

910
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: Give us eleven. The Steelers now looking for a new

911
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: head coach after Mike Tomlin resigned earlier today. Last Hour,

912
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: we talked about the Steelers' aspect of it, what's next

913
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: for Tomlin, Why it's good news for Pittsburgh that they

914
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: can now get a head coach who is much more

915
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: modern and can is okay with opening things up offensively,

916
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: understanding you to push the ball down the field. You

917
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: can't just run an offense like it was nineteen eighty seven,

918
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: which has been the big year for the show tonight.

919
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: Whenever we play La Guns on the show, it's nineteen

920
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: eighty seven. So the guy to go after, right, And

921
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: I know that this is it's weird because I can

922
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: kind of see tomorrow playing out like the end of

923
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: Iron Man, when Tony Stark's gonna go out that has

924
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: to explain what happened and who the flying thing was

925
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: and what that flying being was, and they all tell him, hey,

926
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: don't say anything. You know it was it was you know,

927
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: one of your one of your jets that was out

928
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: there and it was an exercise. Just don't say anything.

929
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: Don't blow the lid off this. Okay, He's got that

930
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: big prepared statement. He walks out to the press conference.

931
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: Everything's we're gonna get some sort of cover up, and

932
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: he goes, I am iron Man, So okay. I kind

933
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: of feel like we could be on the cusp of

934
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: that tomorrow because Marcus Freeman said to have a press

935
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 1: conference where he is going to announce he's staying as

936
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: head coach with Notre Dame. He had the legal issues

937
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: over the course of the past few days at his

938
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: son's wrestling event, and Notre Dame put out video that

939
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: they say exonerates him. It shows him and his son

940
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: leaving the event. Just been a really ridiculous headline. And

941
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: I know that the overtures for the NFL not quite there.

942
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: Would I leave Notre Dame for the Falcons. Probably not.

943
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: Would I eave Notre Dame for any other job that's open.

944
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: Probably not. Would I leave for the Giants, but they

945
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: seem to be down the road with John Harbor. The

946
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: Steelers is a job where you say, hey, sorry, Notre Dame,

947
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: I have to go to the Steelers because what the

948
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Steelers offer you more than any other job in the

949
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: entire National Football League is you know, I'm gonna get

950
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: years to get it right. I'm not leaving Notre Dame

951
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: for a job where I'm going to get fired after

952
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: two years, where if I falter. They stick with guys

953
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: right now, they've had success, and you wonder are things

954
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna change if if suddenly they start out three and fourteen,

955
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: four and thirteen. But you know this is a team

956
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: that went Chuck Nole, Bill Cower, Mike Tomlin, like, you know,

957
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of guys right this is

958
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: their entire runs NFL at coach. That's the one job

959
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: you leave anywhere for because you know you're getting a

960
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: chance to succeed. They do it differently, which is good

961
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: for the head coaches. And Freeman is young, energetic, he

962
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: relates to the players. Now now he's a defensive head coach,

963
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: which doesn't lay in with the vision that the Steelers

964
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: need an offensive mind. But the Steelers have shown what

965
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: we want to do over the course of the last

966
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: sixty years of our playing is that we want to

967
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: hire a young head coach that is well versed everywhere

968
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL and the team is going to grow

969
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: with him, and we're going to be able to win

970
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: because of it. And we get the right guy. And

971
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: they're more concerned with getting the right guy. Bill Kerr

972
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: was the right guy. Mike Tomlin was the right guy.

973
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman checks all the boxes at being that next

974
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: young head coach that his team believes in. He's achieved

975
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: great everything you want in the resume so far, being

976
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: able to get to the National Championship game in the

977
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: NIL era. Yes, would he be smart enough to bring

978
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: an offense corner to say we got to throw the

979
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: football up and down the field. You know, CJ. Carr

980
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be a Heisman Trophy finalist next year, just

981
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: so you know, the odds came out for the Heisman

982
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: Trophy this year. He's number two. So Notre Dame doesn't

983
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: have a problem being dynamic offensively, right it's not just hey,

984
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna run Jeremiah Love because he's great. We know

985
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: we got to throw the football. So it's not that

986
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: he's got to come in with some crazy offensive system

987
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: that works. Doesn't have to be Mike March gowing up

988
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: with the greatest show on turf, but he needs to

989
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: be open to we're gonna bring into the modern NFL.

990
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna run a great offense. We're gonna be able

991
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: to spray the ball all across the field because this

992
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: is what wins. I know, Marcus free Hey, I'm staying.

993
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm staying. But this is a job where I think

994
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: both sides say, let's make one more run before we go.

995
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: And there had been internal talk with the Steelers about

996
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: Freeman before when Tomlin was still the if he ever leaves,

997
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: who would our next guy be? And so knowing that,

998
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: knowing that for Freeman, uh yeah, I think it's worth

999
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: one more phone call, one more situation. Hey, at a

1000
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: really dicey situation at Notre Dame. Here. Yes, it looks

1001
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: like he's getting past that the wrestling, the wrestling thing,

1002
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: and everything looks great for him going forward. But man,

1003
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: I think you need that phone call because this is

1004
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: the job you leave anywhere for.

1005
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the wrestling thing is more kind of a what

1006
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: what happened here? And the superior film comes out and whatever,

1007
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 3: and they were quick to jump on that. The larger

1008
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: issue is there are very few times that we see

1009
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 3: the outlier team pop into the cycle. Right, you'll have

1010
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 3: a coach step down, Right, that's been theorized in the

1011
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 3: next year or two. That might happen with Andy Reid

1012
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs. But all the other times that we

1013
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 3: get into the coaching cycle, what are we looking at

1014
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: eighty ninety percent of those teams. Do you're going there

1015
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: because it's one of thirty two or because you have

1016
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 3: the hubrist and the idea that I can figure this out. Right,

1017
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: it's like picking that quarterback off the scrap heap. Say

1018
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 3: he was wounded mortally by the Jets as in his

1019
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 3: first couple of years, and that after a couple of

1020
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: rehab assignments, you can turn them into a pro bowler. Right,

1021
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 3: you could do that, But for the most part, we're

1022
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 3: cycling these same damn jobs every year, like, all right, hey,

1023
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: Cleveland's available, Okay, cool, Yeah, that makes sense. And there's

1024
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: the Raiders. They're always out there for you. Your guy

1025
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 3: staved off his short term ex cutionin there with the Jets,

1026
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 3: so they'll get a second bite at the apple. But

1027
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: all of that to say, it's usually the same squads

1028
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 3: that we're talking about in this coach a karasa. All

1029
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden, Pittsburgh becomes open. Wait a minute, hold on,

1030
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 3: hold on to your point. Yeah, you're gonna get a

1031
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: chance to build essentially the college program. You're also going

1032
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: to a division, so as long as they don't abolish

1033
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: the divisional systems, you're going into a place where you

1034
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 3: can go and continue this run and win. Right, two

1035
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 3: of your competitors have announced that they're getting rid of

1036
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 3: the coaches.

1037
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: Now.

1038
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 3: Baltimore has the luxuries and they do have a quarterback.

1039
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 3: Cincinnati doesn't have anybody on defense, although maybe Stewart actually

1040
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 3: plays well as second year remains to be seen. Hendrickson'll

1041
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 3: be gone and Joe Burrow still could put a flare

1042
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 3: up in the sky saying I want out. But and

1043
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 3: then Cleveland can't get out of its own way. Good defense,

1044
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 3: but still myriad ques on what they do offensively in

1045
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 3: their next coaching higher So all of a sudden, you

1046
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: look at Pittsburgh. It's a model of stability because they're

1047
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 3: gonna give you everything you can to win for Tomlin. Again,

1048
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 3: all those years we watched it with Roethlisberger, and I

1049
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 3: would have loved to be a fly on the wall

1050
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 3: when they were discussing what they were doing with the

1051
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 3: quarterback position the next year. So if you're Marcus Freeman, like,

1052
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 3: that's what I get. I get to help pick that

1053
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: part of the set, right, omar Con, that's not just you.

1054
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 3: We have to be an agreement that we're pushing this

1055
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 3: thing ahead because you do have some components yet right at.

1056
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: Obviously they're okay with that because Tomlin wanted this kind

1057
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: of offense and this is the offense omark on game, Okay, great,

1058
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: you want Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Aaron Rodgers. Okay,

1059
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: all right, great, go run it. I mean, I can't

1060
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: believe that's the preferred way they wanted to do things,

1061
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 1: But this is what Tomlin wants. Tomlin's been pretty successful, Okay,

1062
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: we give him what he wants. Now, it's completely outdated,

1063
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: and you know why they haven't won a playoff game

1064
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: in ten years because they stuck with Roethlisberger. Too long

1065
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: when he couldn't throw the football anymore, went to other

1066
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that couldn't throw the football, tried to get by

1067
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: with guys that weren't any good. So, yeah, you need

1068
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: a change, You need a change for that to happen.

1069
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 3: No, but that again, that goes to the difficult part

1070
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 3: of trying to put yourself in that Pittsburgh bubble against

1071
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL because all of us, all

1072
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 3: of you listening across wherever you are across the globe

1073
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you're listening to the show,

1074
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 3: like you're looking at your fan and going, man, I'd

1075
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 3: kill for that stability. I'd kill for the idea that

1076
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 3: I'm between you know, eight and a half and eleven

1077
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: wins every year as opposed to, Wow, we really suck again. Yeah,

1078
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 3: and then you get one year of kind of a

1079
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 3: hope of Hey, on paper, this line's up. Think about

1080
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 3: how many times have we talked about Baltimore even this year? Right, Hey,

1081
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 3: this roster looks like it's assembled to be a world

1082
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 3: beating No, they couldn't even get away started at all.

1083
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 3: He gets traded the Chargers. He finishes with what nine sacks?

1084
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 3: Total when you add the playoff runt, like like what happened.

1085
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 3: But in Pittsburgh it's been status quo and you've been

1086
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: just good enough to stay above that line and stay

1087
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 3: competitive and play meaningful football in December. So that's the standard, right,

1088
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 3: That is the baseline that Marcus Freeman or whoever ends

1089
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 3: up in the job. Some of the guys that are

1090
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: in the heads of some of the betting odds, I

1091
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 3: just scratched my head, going, really this these are these

1092
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 3: are the guys that rise up. But Marcus Freeman with

1093
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 3: a press conference scheduled, I mean, does he go Leo

1094
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 3: DiCaprio and just I'm not bleeping leaving or is it

1095
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 3: something far more?

1096
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 1: Uh? Other bigger on the line here? Other jobs I get.

1097
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: But the steel Becers you want it, boy, The Steelers

1098
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: give you what every coach wants. I want years and

1099
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: years and years to succeed. I know, I don't know,

1100
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: I gotta prove I got a bill, but I want

1101
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: years and years. The Steelers is the only program that

1102
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: gives that to you, right. I mean the Cowboys do

1103
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: a little bit because Jerry Jones, when he hires somebody

1104
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hit a mistake, so I'll stick with

1105
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: a guy longer than I have to. So there is that,

1106
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: but that comes with its own set of problems. The

1107
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: Steelers like, yeah, come stay, you win, I will will

1108
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 1: give you time. We like being relevant, we like winning games.

1109
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's absolute paradise for an NFL coach.

1110
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: I gotta go there and be there for eighteen years.

1111
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 1: Not that you can't go other places and be there

1112
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: a long time with John Harball's with the Ravens that long.

1113
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: But but it's only because hey, I've been able to succeed.

1114
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: We want a super Bowl. But you know, going in,

1115
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: if my first couple of years of bed, they're gonna say, no, sweat,

1116
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: keep building. Okay, great, that's what I want. I mean,

1117
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what anybody wants. That's why that's the job

1118
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: you leave Notre Dame for. That's the gig.

1119
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 3: Can't wait for that attention to viewing. Maybe you'll call

1120
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: out his his ad and everybody on the way out and.

1121
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: You you were whining too much. You couldn't take it.

1122
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: I am I am iron Man.
