It 11 00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:57,268 Speaker 1: truly is.

I'm Jamieard alongside Kyle brit here, 16 00:01:10,468 --> 00:01:13,068 Speaker 1: Jason mccordy. Guys, everything that we learned about Demark Hamlon 17 00:01:13,188 --> 00:01:15,228 Speaker 1: last week, you believe him when he's like, I'm gonna 18 00:01:15,268 --> 00:01:17,188 Speaker 1: do some stuff in the world that's greater than me, 19 00:01:17,268 --> 00:01:18,908 Speaker 1: that's bigger than me because he had already had that 20 00:01:18,948 --> 00:01:22,668 Speaker 1: foundation started. Can you imagine seven million dollars he can 21 00:01:22,748 --> 00:01:25,348 Speaker 1: just help the world with right now. No, I think 22 00:01:25,388 --> 00:01:27,748 Speaker 1: it's incredible. And I think to your point him saying 23 00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:29,388 Speaker 1: that he's gonna put it back into the world, he 24 00:01:29,508 --> 00:01:32,028 Speaker 1: already's begun that. And it's so cool to see him 25 00:01:32,068 --> 00:01:35,508 Speaker 1: acknowledging that and knowing it and it's flying back to Buffalos. Yeah, 26 00:01:35,548 --> 00:01:37,068 Speaker 1: it's so cool, it was a Bean said. He's like, 27 00:01:37,068 --> 00:01:38,948 Speaker 1: those kids, we're gonna get toys, they're gonna get cars.

Yeah, day, and he's like, hal, I 31 00:01:47,988 --> 00:01:50,148 Speaker 1: love it. I'm like, that's like, you forget the Manning 32 00:01:50,148 --> 00:01:53,028 Speaker 1: cast to give me the Demark cast. That would be 33 00:01:53,308 --> 00:02:00,068 Speaker 1: pretty inspired him cast. We're pitching it together. God, Hi, 34 00:02:00,268 --> 00:02:03,108 Speaker 1: let's go to the league block. Shall conversation take a 35 00:02:03,148 --> 00:02:07,308 Speaker 1: look at the playoff experience coming up this weekend. You're 36 00:02:07,348 --> 00:02:10,668 Speaker 1: going to see the Giants who sit there this season 37 00:02:10,748 --> 00:02:13,868 Speaker 1: with the second fewest postseason games played. This is on 38 00:02:14,068 --> 00:02:18,028 Speaker 1: their active roster. Among the fourteen teams that made the 39 00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:21,468 Speaker 1: playoffs from the twenty twenty two season. Jaguars far and 40 00:02:21,588 --> 00:02:25,428 Speaker 1: wide the quote unquote least experienced team, But then there's 41 00:02:25,428 --> 00:02:27,908 Speaker 1: a Giant with just fifty three Does this really matter? Though? 42 00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:30,948 Speaker 1: Giants head coach Brian Dable has some thoughts on the matter. 43 00:02:32,508 --> 00:02:34,628 Speaker 1: I think it's really really what you make out of 44 00:02:34,628 --> 00:02:38,108 Speaker 1: a Jordan is the experience probably is overrated, to be 45 00:02:38,188 --> 00:02:41,828 Speaker 1: honest with you, It's how you prepare, how you practice, 46 00:02:41,868 --> 00:02:44,308 Speaker 1: and ultimately how you play the game and coach the 47 00:02:44,388 --> 00:02:47,828 Speaker 1: game on whatever day it is. I've been around a 48 00:02:47,908 --> 00:02:51,068 Speaker 1: lot of different teams that had varying levels of experience, 49 00:02:51,708 --> 00:02:54,548 Speaker 1: some a lot, some a little, some, you know, not much. 50 00:02:54,588 --> 00:02:57,228 Speaker 1: I know someone mentioned Malcolm Butler. You know, I think 51 00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:00,508 Speaker 1: really what matters is taking advantage of your opportunities when 52 00:03:00,548 --> 00:03:04,748 Speaker 1: they come and playing a good football game, coaching a 53 00:03:04,748 --> 00:03:09,428 Speaker 1: good football game. So I don't know if that answers 54 00:03:09,468 --> 00:03:12,148 Speaker 1: your question, but I really think it's an overrated It's 55 00:03:12,188 --> 00:03:18,308 Speaker 1: an overrated thing. I concur And let's get into that 56 00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:20,988 Speaker 1: teams with no experience they went all the time. We 57 00:03:21,108 --> 00:03:23,388 Speaker 1: just have to go back to last year's Bengals team 58 00:03:23,548 --> 00:03:25,148 Speaker 1: that went all the way to the Super Bowl. To 59 00:03:25,228 --> 00:03:27,148 Speaker 1: see see one that was young with not a lot 60 00:03:27,188 --> 00:03:29,668 Speaker 1: of postseason experience. Take it all the way yea. So 61 00:03:29,788 --> 00:03:32,748 Speaker 1: let's talk Giants Vikings. What is the biggest hurdle the 62 00:03:32,788 --> 00:03:35,348 Speaker 1: Giants are facing when they had two Minnesota for the 63 00:03:35,388 --> 00:03:38,668 Speaker 1: second time in a month. Yeah, I'm right with coach Dable. 64 00:03:38,788 --> 00:03:40,868 Speaker 1: You always hear it around this time, and I think 65 00:03:40,908 --> 00:03:43,508 Speaker 1: it's more of a media thing where we go and 66 00:03:43,628 --> 00:03:46,428 Speaker 1: we look at it the quarterbacks in experience. This head coach, 67 00:03:46,508 --> 00:03:48,468 Speaker 1: he's a first year head coach or whatever they're saying. 68 00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:51,268 Speaker 1: And I remember being in meetings and Bill Belichick was 69 00:03:51,348 --> 00:03:54,628 Speaker 1: started off of the playoff time and be like playoff experience, 70 00:03:54,708 --> 00:03:58,108 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean please, And it was so true because 71 00:03:58,148 --> 00:04:00,028 Speaker 1: you go in there and it doesn't matter in that 72 00:04:00,148 --> 00:04:02,548 Speaker 1: game how many playoff games you've won, this that in 73 00:04:02,628 --> 00:04:05,308 Speaker 1: the third For this Giants football, it's all about how 74 00:04:05,388 --> 00:04:07,788 Speaker 1: you're executing and how you're playing down the stretch of 75 00:04:07,868 --> 00:04:10,348 Speaker 1: the season, and they're playing good football, and then it's 76 00:04:10,348 --> 00:04:13,268 Speaker 1: about the matchup. They're going against a Minnesota Vikings team 77 00:04:13,348 --> 00:04:15,228 Speaker 1: that they just played a few weeks ago and it 78 00:04:15,348 --> 00:04:17,628 Speaker 1: came down to a late game field goal. So for 79 00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:20,068 Speaker 1: the Giants, it doesn't matter, all right, Daniel Jones hasn't 80 00:04:20,068 --> 00:04:22,628 Speaker 1: played in the playoff game. Joe Burrow last year hadn't 81 00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:24,948 Speaker 1: played in the playoff game. Now we're going into this game. 82 00:04:24,988 --> 00:04:26,948 Speaker 1: How do we match up defensively? How are we gonna 83 00:04:26,988 --> 00:04:29,788 Speaker 1: stop Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson on the offensive side? 84 00:04:29,828 --> 00:04:32,108 Speaker 1: How can we get se Kuon Barkley going and open 85 00:04:32,228 --> 00:04:34,468 Speaker 1: up lanes for Daniel Jones to be able to run 86 00:04:34,668 --> 00:04:36,068 Speaker 1: and be able to get the ball. About all this 87 00:04:36,188 --> 00:04:38,268 Speaker 1: nonsense about the lights are brighter and the game is 88 00:04:38,348 --> 00:04:40,668 Speaker 1: faster at home. I've never been in the playoff game before. Like, 89 00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:43,268 Speaker 1: unless somebody does some extra training and now they're forty 90 00:04:43,308 --> 00:04:45,828 Speaker 1: yard dashes a little faster from the week before, it 91 00:04:45,908 --> 00:04:48,308 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Or do they turn the lights up brighter 92 00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:50,948 Speaker 1: in Minnesota with a whole I think about it was 93 00:04:50,988 --> 00:04:53,068 Speaker 1: my tenth year before I got to the playoffs. It 94 00:04:53,228 --> 00:04:55,828 Speaker 1: was another game. Yeah, it means a little more that 95 00:04:55,948 --> 00:04:59,308 Speaker 1: you're not extra nervous. You've played in seventeen games for 96 00:04:59,388 --> 00:05:01,588 Speaker 1: the past few weeks, so you're just going and you 97 00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:03,668 Speaker 1: played that game. It kills me each and every year 98 00:05:03,828 --> 00:05:06,148 Speaker 1: where we talk about all this experience and this that 99 00:05:06,308 --> 00:05:09,108 Speaker 1: and the third who cares there's no head coach this week. 100 00:05:09,188 --> 00:05:10,988 Speaker 1: That's starting off to me and saying, guys, you know what, 101 00:05:11,508 --> 00:05:13,748 Speaker 1: the lack of experience we have, Doug Peterson's and and 102 00:05:13,828 --> 00:05:15,948 Speaker 1: go on, guys, the lack of experience we have. I 103 00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:17,828 Speaker 1: don't know how we're gonna make up for but we 104 00:05:17,868 --> 00:05:21,028 Speaker 1: can't beat the Mighty Chargers. We can't beat efforts like 105 00:05:21,108 --> 00:05:23,068 Speaker 1: we just weren't experienced enough in the playoffs. That's what 106 00:05:23,148 --> 00:05:24,868 Speaker 1: it came down to, the playoffs, no doubt about it. 107 00:05:25,068 --> 00:05:26,748 Speaker 1: But it gives us some of them talking about it, guys, 108 00:05:26,788 --> 00:05:29,028 Speaker 1: and I think the stakes get bigger and bigger. Those 109 00:05:29,068 --> 00:05:32,788 Speaker 1: teams that get those wins, like like the Bengals last year. 110 00:05:32,788 --> 00:05:35,948 Speaker 1: It was interesting because you know, they have no experience, 111 00:05:35,948 --> 00:05:37,548 Speaker 1: they have no experience. They go into Tennessee and they win. 112 00:05:37,668 --> 00:05:39,628 Speaker 1: The next week. They have no experience, they have no experience. 113 00:05:39,988 --> 00:05:42,148 Speaker 1: Oh they go and they went to they beat the 114 00:05:42,228 --> 00:05:43,668 Speaker 1: Raiders and they beat the Tennessee and it's like, oh wait, 115 00:05:43,828 --> 00:05:45,108 Speaker 1: we do the experience. We just one of these last 116 00:05:45,108 --> 00:05:49,388 Speaker 1: two games now changed qualified. Oh yeah, New's win um 117 00:05:50,148 --> 00:05:52,468 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Go back two thousand and eight, 118 00:05:52,508 --> 00:05:54,788 Speaker 1: fourteen years ago. I was working with Inside the NFL 119 00:05:54,948 --> 00:05:58,148 Speaker 1: on showtime and Chris Collinsworth came on the show and 120 00:05:58,668 --> 00:06:02,108 Speaker 1: the nine and seven Arizona Cardinals came limping into the playoffs. 121 00:06:02,148 --> 00:06:03,988 Speaker 1: This is Kurt Warners Arizona Cardinals, and he said on 122 00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:06,788 Speaker 1: the show week seventeen, this is the worst playoff team 123 00:06:06,828 --> 00:06:09,228 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Really, they have no run game. They're 124 00:06:09,268 --> 00:06:11,988 Speaker 1: the last ranked rushing team. Their defense is atrocious. This 125 00:06:12,108 --> 00:06:15,388 Speaker 1: is the worst playoff team that we've ever seen. That 126 00:06:15,588 --> 00:06:19,028 Speaker 1: Cardinals team, they got hot, they went to the playoffs, 127 00:06:19,028 --> 00:06:20,628 Speaker 1: they went to the rule, they almost beat the Steelers. 128 00:06:20,628 --> 00:06:23,388 Speaker 1: Why don't I bring that team up? The Vikings are 129 00:06:23,468 --> 00:06:26,988 Speaker 1: being viewed as maybe the worst division champion of all time. 130 00:06:27,108 --> 00:06:28,748 Speaker 1: And that's even worse than some of these teams that 131 00:06:28,828 --> 00:06:31,588 Speaker 1: are like seven to nine and the divisions than the 132 00:06:31,628 --> 00:06:33,428 Speaker 1: bus this year, look at the look at the Vikings 133 00:06:33,508 --> 00:06:36,628 Speaker 1: point differential right now. This is an absurd stat right here, 134 00:06:37,148 --> 00:06:42,268 Speaker 1: worst point different NFL history with thirteen win teams. They 135 00:06:42,348 --> 00:06:44,108 Speaker 1: give up more points than they scored this year. Guys, 136 00:06:44,228 --> 00:06:49,788 Speaker 1: they went thirty to me. If you're the Giants, reverse 137 00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 1: psychology here, everyone's in all the Giants this week, their 138 00:06:54,228 --> 00:06:58,228 Speaker 1: challenges to block that out and being told you got 139 00:06:58,588 --> 00:07:00,508 Speaker 1: you guys are actually the better team. You guys are 140 00:07:00,548 --> 00:07:02,348 Speaker 1: the better team. You guys are the better team. If 141 00:07:02,348 --> 00:07:03,788 Speaker 1: I'm the New York Giants I go into this game, 142 00:07:03,828 --> 00:07:07,508 Speaker 1: I'm like, don't read the headlines that are telling us 143 00:07:07,748 --> 00:07:10,068 Speaker 1: that we're the better team, because we might be, but 144 00:07:10,228 --> 00:07:14,428 Speaker 1: like it's only firing up those guys even more. I'm 145 00:07:14,468 --> 00:07:17,508 Speaker 1: looking at it right now, the Vikings are favored, but 146 00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:20,828 Speaker 1: by a very slim margin for a playoff team that 147 00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:23,628 Speaker 1: won thirteen games and beating this team a month ago. Like, 148 00:07:24,388 --> 00:07:25,948 Speaker 1: if you're the Giants, you have to focus on you. 149 00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:28,108 Speaker 1: You can't focus on everyone because I'll tell you what 150 00:07:28,988 --> 00:07:31,268 Speaker 1: you're gonna get these Sunday pregame shows. But you know what, 151 00:07:32,668 --> 00:07:38,108 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Giants. WHOA? Everyone's everyone's taking the Giants 152 00:07:39,108 --> 00:07:41,788 Speaker 1: take the fighting. I know WHOA? So to me, what's 153 00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,308 Speaker 1: the challenge for the day. We can get into the 154 00:07:43,388 --> 00:07:44,668 Speaker 1: xs and os and all this stuff, But if you're 155 00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:46,708 Speaker 1: day ball on a Tuesday and you're setting the table, 156 00:07:46,828 --> 00:07:50,028 Speaker 1: it's like, don't read the headlines. You guys ain't squat. 157 00:07:50,388 --> 00:07:52,188 Speaker 1: You know, it's very hard to go as a six 158 00:07:52,268 --> 00:07:55,428 Speaker 1: team into the three team and that team right there, 159 00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:57,228 Speaker 1: as bad as everyone says they are, and as many 160 00:07:57,228 --> 00:07:59,388 Speaker 1: points they've given up, they won thirteen games and they 161 00:07:59,388 --> 00:08:01,508 Speaker 1: beat you a couple of weeks ago. So stay focused 162 00:08:01,588 --> 00:08:03,028 Speaker 1: out in the prize and if I know day Ball, 163 00:08:03,548 --> 00:08:05,708 Speaker 1: there's no danger if these guys getting too big ahead. 164 00:08:05,828 --> 00:08:08,588 Speaker 1: What are your memories of the nineteen twenty five Frankfort Yellowjacks. 165 00:08:08,668 --> 00:08:11,988 Speaker 1: What's funny because I remember Chaplin was doing these movies 166 00:08:12,148 --> 00:08:17,708 Speaker 1: and I love the sideline was a little get out 167 00:08:17,748 --> 00:08:25,348 Speaker 1: of there. They didn't agree Charleston. Yeah, they did to 168 00:08:25,428 --> 00:08:30,028 Speaker 1: Charleston and hello, my baby, Hello my yellow Jackets were loaded. 169 00:08:30,068 --> 00:08:32,068 Speaker 1: They were good. I'm sure Colms would appreciate you bringing 170 00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:37,628 Speaker 1: up that take too, Chris sitting listen. I don't think 171 00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:39,508 Speaker 1: it's a lack of experience. I don't think's lack of 172 00:08:39,548 --> 00:08:42,348 Speaker 1: playoff experience. I don't know if the Giants have enough playmakers. 173 00:08:42,508 --> 00:08:44,988 Speaker 1: Like we're going into the Dome. This is not the 174 00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:47,588 Speaker 1: Vikings team that went to Lambeau or What's to Philly 175 00:08:47,668 --> 00:08:49,108 Speaker 1: like going to the Dome. Were on the carpet, and 176 00:08:49,148 --> 00:08:52,388 Speaker 1: I have to tell you, guys, this Vikings team is relaxed. 177 00:08:52,748 --> 00:08:57,308 Speaker 1: They are ready, They are calm, and I even have proof. Yesterday, 178 00:08:57,428 --> 00:08:59,628 Speaker 1: I'm going through my day in my afternoon and I 179 00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:02,308 Speaker 1: get a text and it's a photo text, and I'm 180 00:09:02,388 --> 00:09:04,548 Speaker 1: kind of distracted, and I'm like, what the heck is is? 181 00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,988 Speaker 1: I swipe when I opened the picture that someone text me. 182 00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:11,268 Speaker 1: That is a picture from the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterbacks 183 00:09:11,268 --> 00:09:13,668 Speaker 1: showing up to work. And I'm not kidding. Occasionally I 184 00:09:13,788 --> 00:09:16,068 Speaker 1: will text with Kirk Cousins and he's showing up with 185 00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:20,828 Speaker 1: socks with slippers with Ksey on them, brand new, relaxed 186 00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:24,468 Speaker 1: and ready. I think they came from the good people 187 00:09:24,468 --> 00:09:28,628 Speaker 1: at Lands End. Potentially, I'm not really maybe so I 188 00:09:28,628 --> 00:09:30,108 Speaker 1: don't know. That might be totally a little rich for 189 00:09:30,188 --> 00:09:32,748 Speaker 1: his blood or a doll, But that's that's the quarterback one. 190 00:09:34,188 --> 00:09:36,628 Speaker 1: Gotta do the white Sox. It's a little cold where 191 00:09:37,268 --> 00:09:40,228 Speaker 1: it's it's great, it's relaxing. That's the QB one, all right? 192 00:09:40,308 --> 00:09:45,268 Speaker 1: This he look worried that their point differential is historically bad? 193 00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:48,548 Speaker 1: Does he look worried that they're gonna choke because it's 194 00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,748 Speaker 1: not a one pm kickoff? No no, no, no, no 195 00:09:50,788 --> 00:09:54,068 Speaker 1: no no, it's not season's end, guys. It's Lands right, 196 00:09:54,108 --> 00:09:56,068 Speaker 1: and there's ten thousand lakes. They're everywhere, is where the 197 00:09:56,188 --> 00:09:58,948 Speaker 1: lands end. That's why he's where Cousins is relaxing as 198 00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:01,228 Speaker 1: it pertains of the Giants. I think they're gonna get 199 00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:04,028 Speaker 1: thirty of this game. And I'm looking at guys I do, yes, 200 00:10:04,108 --> 00:10:06,668 Speaker 1: I do at home, Jefferson, dam All. I think they're 201 00:10:06,668 --> 00:10:10,108 Speaker 1: gonna be ready. Are the Isaiah Hudgens and Richie James 202 00:10:10,188 --> 00:10:12,628 Speaker 1: of the World's ready for the Giants and the Sequans Like, 203 00:10:12,668 --> 00:10:14,868 Speaker 1: I don't think this is a seventeen a thirteen ball game. 204 00:10:14,988 --> 00:10:16,308 Speaker 1: I think this is an era and I don't know 205 00:10:16,308 --> 00:10:18,508 Speaker 1: if the Giants are built to win that game. Um, 206 00:10:18,668 --> 00:10:20,468 Speaker 1: get the slippers ready in the matching robe. I think 207 00:10:20,468 --> 00:10:23,588 Speaker 1: the Bacons are ready. Punk Berryman was the head coach 208 00:10:23,668 --> 00:10:28,988 Speaker 1: of the Frankford Yellow Jacketsman not not frankfort like Frank Frank. 209 00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:34,828 Speaker 1: Frankford is outside of Philadelphia. It actually references the northeast 210 00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:38,388 Speaker 1: neighborhood of Philadelphia and the subway line or the elevated 211 00:10:38,468 --> 00:10:43,788 Speaker 1: train line that existed at the time in Philadelphia. Great, yeah, 212 00:10:43,788 --> 00:10:46,428 Speaker 1: he's the head coach. Um. Remember last weekend, we were 213 00:10:46,788 --> 00:10:48,988 Speaker 1: really really looking forward to Sunday night football. We're like 214 00:10:49,068 --> 00:10:52,068 Speaker 1: all the Lions. Yeah, but it only really matters if 215 00:10:52,108 --> 00:10:54,148 Speaker 1: the Seahawks lose and then the Lions will be really 216 00:10:54,268 --> 00:10:56,428 Speaker 1: fired off. But like the Packers, they also have Aaron 217 00:10:56,548 --> 00:10:59,508 Speaker 1: Rodgers and like, yeah, it didn't matter. The Lions had 218 00:10:59,628 --> 00:11:02,668 Speaker 1: nothing to play for to end their season, and really 219 00:11:02,748 --> 00:11:05,068 Speaker 1: young team, the second youngest in fact in the NFL 220 00:11:05,148 --> 00:11:07,068 Speaker 1: this season, and what they do. They went in and 221 00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:11,148 Speaker 1: just crushed. I mean they they were high fiving their 222 00:11:11,188 --> 00:11:14,588 Speaker 1: own fans in Lambeau at Green Bay. Nobody really does that. 223 00:11:14,948 --> 00:11:16,828 Speaker 1: No one has so many fans that they make their 224 00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:19,868 Speaker 1: way to the front row in Green Bay so the 225 00:11:20,028 --> 00:11:21,628 Speaker 1: ny can go around to have a victory lap on 226 00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,108 Speaker 1: the last game of the season. The Lions were young, 227 00:11:24,508 --> 00:11:27,588 Speaker 1: The Lions greenwards supposed to be here and frankly they 228 00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:29,348 Speaker 1: were on our list and maybe the only team on 229 00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:31,508 Speaker 1: our list yesterday of teams were saved the knock talk 230 00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:33,828 Speaker 1: about it anymore. The Lions were a thrill ride. The 231 00:11:33,988 --> 00:11:38,468 Speaker 1: Lions young, not experienced. They go into they were They're 232 00:11:38,508 --> 00:11:42,028 Speaker 1: the Giants. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Postseason experiences that matter, 233 00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,308 Speaker 1: playoff experience doesn't matter. What do you do at the moment, 234 00:11:44,428 --> 00:11:46,188 Speaker 1: What do you do when the lights are bright, and 235 00:11:46,228 --> 00:11:48,108 Speaker 1: you're in the huddle and you're just like In fact, 236 00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:50,868 Speaker 1: I think youthfulness treat you better in that moment if 237 00:11:50,868 --> 00:11:52,468 Speaker 1: you will, because you don't know what is going on, 238 00:11:52,668 --> 00:11:56,428 Speaker 1: you have no idea. I think it's also important not 239 00:11:56,588 --> 00:11:59,828 Speaker 1: to insult the Vikings. This isn't them going into New 240 00:11:59,908 --> 00:12:02,788 Speaker 1: England to face Brady after winning six Super Bowls. This 241 00:12:02,908 --> 00:12:05,868 Speaker 1: isn't them going, you know, on the road and into 242 00:12:05,908 --> 00:12:08,388 Speaker 1: San Francisco when you got this team. The Vikings haven't 243 00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:10,748 Speaker 1: won squat in the last few years. So if you're 244 00:12:10,748 --> 00:12:12,668 Speaker 1: the Giants, you're like, we're both kind of the same boat, 245 00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:15,148 Speaker 1: or the star teams. Like, I don't think experience matters 246 00:12:15,148 --> 00:12:18,348 Speaker 1: because what experience is justin Jefferson having a big game. 247 00:12:18,388 --> 00:12:21,908 Speaker 1: What experience do we have from you know, so Dalvin 248 00:12:21,948 --> 00:12:24,748 Speaker 1: Cook doesn't have this long playoff history. This isn't going 249 00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:26,828 Speaker 1: up and looking at Belichicks, looking at Kevin O'Connell. So 250 00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:30,668 Speaker 1: the experienced angle, it's all, really, what are we gonna 251 00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,308 Speaker 1: do with the Vikings as an organization if they lose 252 00:12:33,388 --> 00:12:35,348 Speaker 1: this game and they lose thirty one, I don't think 253 00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:37,508 Speaker 1: anything negative with that. This was an out Yeah, this 254 00:12:37,628 --> 00:12:43,868 Speaker 1: year it was plagyar general manager thirteen wins at home 255 00:12:44,268 --> 00:12:46,468 Speaker 1: wildcard Daniel Jones comes in and beat you. It's just 256 00:12:46,548 --> 00:12:49,188 Speaker 1: like every the only reason, every take and every meme 257 00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:52,028 Speaker 1: and every it's just gonna be an extravaganza. It's tough, 258 00:12:52,268 --> 00:12:53,788 Speaker 1: is it, though? Would you be surprised at all? Like, 259 00:12:53,788 --> 00:12:55,548 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's coming in here thinking like, oh 260 00:12:55,588 --> 00:12:58,028 Speaker 1: the Mighty Vikings, you know. But it's just like their 261 00:12:58,068 --> 00:13:00,348 Speaker 1: reputation is so thick at this point that it becomes 262 00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:02,028 Speaker 1: this thing that'd be very disappointed. It'd be like the 263 00:13:02,028 --> 00:13:05,228 Speaker 1: Cowboys if they lose, like, oh my god, again, it's frustrating. 264 00:13:05,348 --> 00:13:07,188 Speaker 1: See I just kind of it is like, okay again, 265 00:13:07,268 --> 00:13:09,268 Speaker 1: move on to the next team. I think the reason 266 00:13:09,348 --> 00:13:11,148 Speaker 1: that they're hosting this playoff games because they locked it 267 00:13:11,228 --> 00:13:13,108 Speaker 1: up like what felt like week seven at this point. 268 00:13:13,108 --> 00:13:15,588 Speaker 1: I know it was fourteen, but like they haven't played 269 00:13:15,748 --> 00:13:18,468 Speaker 1: to the point where they look like a postseason team 270 00:13:18,468 --> 00:13:22,708 Speaker 1: that's regime, yes, or building off at thirteen win season 271 00:13:22,748 --> 00:13:24,388 Speaker 1: as a general man, maybe more of an indictment on 272 00:13:24,428 --> 00:13:31,548 Speaker 1: their quarterback, but not like the organization as a whole. Hey, 273 00:13:31,628 --> 00:13:34,028 Speaker 1: we're back on Good Morning Football. We're talking news that 274 00:13:34,108 --> 00:13:37,148 Speaker 1: has emerged since the regular season came to a close 275 00:13:37,348 --> 00:13:39,668 Speaker 1: this weekend.

Several coaching searches are happening 277 00:13:43,588 --> 00:13:46,708 Speaker 1: now as it pertains across the league. One of those teams, 278 00:13:46,748 --> 00:13:52,668 Speaker 1: the Broncos, are in the hunt. What's the latest in Denver, Well, Jamie. 279 00:13:52,708 --> 00:13:56,228 Speaker 1: The Broncos kicked off their coaching search on Monday by 280 00:13:56,268 --> 00:14:00,468 Speaker 1: conducting a virtual interview with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh told 281 00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:04,188 Speaker 1: these sides spoke for over two hours. Harbor has emerged 282 00:14:04,228 --> 00:14:08,028 Speaker 1: a very real candidate if he decides that he truly 283 00:14:08,188 --> 00:14:10,428 Speaker 1: is going to leave his alma mater, who he just 284 00:14:10,548 --> 00:14:13,708 Speaker 1: led to the college football playoff for the second consecutive season. 285 00:14:13,948 --> 00:14:17,108 Speaker 1: Bronco's course, also have permission to speak with former Saints 286 00:14:17,188 --> 00:14:20,468 Speaker 1: coach Sean Payton. He's still under contract with New Orleans, 287 00:14:20,548 --> 00:14:22,748 Speaker 1: so they'd have to work out a trade. Sides are 288 00:14:22,868 --> 00:14:25,788 Speaker 1: on the same page, generally speaking about exactly what that 289 00:14:25,988 --> 00:14:29,228 Speaker 1: might cost. Broncos also have requests out for several current 290 00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:32,668 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators. That list includes Dan Quinn from the Cowboys, 291 00:14:32,908 --> 00:14:35,948 Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's from the forty nine Ers, and Raheem Morris 292 00:14:36,028 --> 00:14:38,988 Speaker 1: from the Rams to interview their own defensive coordinator and 293 00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:43,028 Speaker 1: Jiro Everro today. In Carolina, the Panthers began sending out 294 00:14:43,068 --> 00:14:45,708 Speaker 1: their slips last night for interview requests, and they also 295 00:14:45,788 --> 00:14:49,788 Speaker 1: are scheduling an interview with former Colts coach Frank Reich. Riich, 296 00:14:49,828 --> 00:14:53,068 Speaker 1: of course, was fired after nine games this season as 297 00:14:53,148 --> 00:14:55,988 Speaker 1: owner Jim Ursey decided to put his stamp on a 298 00:14:56,028 --> 00:14:58,228 Speaker 1: team that ended up losing seven out of eight. After 299 00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:02,228 Speaker 1: Brench's dismissal, Panthers also are lining up a bunch of 300 00:15:02,348 --> 00:15:05,708 Speaker 1: current offensive coordinators. Owner David Tepper wants to get that 301 00:15:05,868 --> 00:15:07,788 Speaker 1: offense right. So some of the hot names you're going 302 00:15:07,828 --> 00:15:10,428 Speaker 1: to hear in this cycle. It's Ben Johnson from the Lions. 303 00:15:10,668 --> 00:15:13,388 Speaker 1: It is Shane Steiken from the Eagles. They also put 304 00:15:13,428 --> 00:15:16,548 Speaker 1: in a request for Mike Kathka from the Giants and 305 00:15:16,788 --> 00:15:20,428 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey from the Bills. They'll interview their own interim coach, 306 00:15:20,508 --> 00:15:22,268 Speaker 1: Steve wils who led the team to a six and 307 00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:25,468 Speaker 1: six finish. That interview is going to take place today 308 00:15:25,788 --> 00:15:29,388 Speaker 1: and in Arizona, the Cardinals fired Cliff Kingsbury after a 309 00:15:29,588 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 1: disappointing fourth season at the Helm. In Arizona Cardinals went 310 00:15:33,588 --> 00:15:36,268 Speaker 1: four and thirteen. They had a variety of challenges Kyler 311 00:15:36,348 --> 00:15:40,068 Speaker 1: Murray towards ACL last month, but owner Michael Bidwill said 312 00:15:40,108 --> 00:15:42,708 Speaker 1: it was just time for a change, even though, according 313 00:15:42,748 --> 00:15:46,188 Speaker 1: to Bidwill, Kingsbury works harder and any coach he's ever 314 00:15:46,268 --> 00:15:48,868 Speaker 1: been around. The Cardinals also need a new general manager. 315 00:15:49,068 --> 00:15:51,468 Speaker 1: Steve Kime is not going to return to the team, 316 00:15:51,748 --> 00:15:54,508 Speaker 1: according to the Cardinals, because he's going to step away 317 00:15:54,548 --> 00:15:57,388 Speaker 1: to focus on his health. Bidwill said ideally he'd like 318 00:15:57,468 --> 00:16:00,588 Speaker 1: to have the GM in place before finding a head coach. 319 00:16:00,788 --> 00:16:03,188 Speaker 1: They do have a couple strong in house candidates in 320 00:16:03,308 --> 00:16:07,868 Speaker 1: Adrian Wilson and and Harris Jamie Tom Thank you man. 321 00:16:07,988 --> 00:16:10,668 Speaker 1: Those names become a who's who. And it's January tenth 322 00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:12,348 Speaker 1: at this point. It's gonna be really interesting to see 323 00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:14,868 Speaker 1: all these interviews go down and as the Spider Web 324 00:16:15,028 --> 00:16:18,148 Speaker 1: makes itself more complicated across the NFL. Pelsara, we appreciate it. 325 00:16:18,188 --> 00:16:20,228 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you a little bit prior to this year. 326 00:16:20,308 --> 00:16:22,708 Speaker 1: Let's hang with the Cardinals. They improved by three wins 327 00:16:22,868 --> 00:16:26,588 Speaker 1: each season under Cliff Kingsbury. The trend was great until 328 00:16:26,628 --> 00:16:29,108 Speaker 1: it was not. There were zero division titles. There was 329 00:16:29,268 --> 00:16:33,028 Speaker 1: one playoff appearance for Kingsbury during his four years as 330 00:16:33,108 --> 00:16:36,268 Speaker 1: a head coach in Arizona. Peter, we start with you. 331 00:16:36,828 --> 00:16:41,388 Speaker 1: You are friends with everybody, Yeah, particularly Cliff Kingsbury, but 332 00:16:41,468 --> 00:16:44,308 Speaker 1: also just guys that know him and gms and people 333 00:16:44,308 --> 00:16:45,948 Speaker 1: across that make the decisions in the league. What were 334 00:16:45,948 --> 00:16:47,948 Speaker 1: your thoughts when the Cardinals moved on from Kingsbury. This 335 00:16:48,108 --> 00:16:50,028 Speaker 1: wasn't a great surprise to Cliff. I spoke to him 336 00:16:50,108 --> 00:16:52,988 Speaker 1: yesterday after he got the news. Actually said mister Bidwell 337 00:16:53,068 --> 00:16:54,988 Speaker 1: was incredibly classy, brought him in and they had an 338 00:16:55,028 --> 00:16:58,548 Speaker 1: emotional Farewell. Bidwell and Cliff had no beef by any means. 339 00:16:58,548 --> 00:17:01,308 Speaker 1: If anything, Cliff really studied the ship. I mean, once 340 00:17:01,428 --> 00:17:04,228 Speaker 1: Mexico City happened and you had the situation with the 341 00:17:04,388 --> 00:17:06,508 Speaker 1: offensive line coach, and you come back and the general 342 00:17:06,588 --> 00:17:09,588 Speaker 1: manager takes a leave of absence, You're talking about leadership 343 00:17:09,708 --> 00:17:11,908 Speaker 1: roles being gone. And Cliff said, put it on me. 344 00:17:12,268 --> 00:17:14,628 Speaker 1: I understand. And they hadn't won any games and they 345 00:17:14,628 --> 00:17:17,468 Speaker 1: were going down this road, and I think Bidwell decided 346 00:17:17,548 --> 00:17:19,188 Speaker 1: that for the better of this organization, let's just start 347 00:17:19,228 --> 00:17:22,868 Speaker 1: with a clean slate for those who are saying, hey, 348 00:17:22,868 --> 00:17:26,628 Speaker 1: you know what, Now, let me explain something. Cliff Kingsbury 349 00:17:26,748 --> 00:17:33,268 Speaker 1: signed a five year extension in twenty twenty two. He 350 00:17:33,388 --> 00:17:36,588 Speaker 1: will get paid out. That means your check hits direct 351 00:17:36,668 --> 00:17:41,268 Speaker 1: deposit every two weeks until twenty twenty seven by the 352 00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:45,068 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, and that is a lot of money. Cliff, 353 00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:47,508 Speaker 1: don't cry for him. He would have loved to make 354 00:17:47,548 --> 00:17:49,828 Speaker 1: this thing work. He'll be okay, he'll work somewhere else. 355 00:17:50,188 --> 00:17:52,468 Speaker 1: Offsets and all this thing. But they ripped the band 356 00:17:52,468 --> 00:17:55,108 Speaker 1: aid off ten months after signing him to a five 357 00:17:55,228 --> 00:17:59,388 Speaker 1: year guaranteed extension. If you're mister Bidwell and and you're 358 00:17:59,428 --> 00:18:01,388 Speaker 1: looking at this, you're like, you must really want a 359 00:18:01,468 --> 00:18:04,268 Speaker 1: clean start, because you're eating that number. And if you're 360 00:18:04,268 --> 00:18:06,188 Speaker 1: the fans, you've got to feel at least enthused that 361 00:18:06,228 --> 00:18:09,228 Speaker 1: the owner isn't worried about, well, what's my wallet saying 362 00:18:09,388 --> 00:18:11,708 Speaker 1: he's going for this thing and to do that knowing 363 00:18:11,828 --> 00:18:14,708 Speaker 1: the sun cost. Now what, here's the issue. We don't 364 00:18:14,708 --> 00:18:16,788 Speaker 1: know when Kyler is coming back. Kyler wasn't good this year. 365 00:18:16,868 --> 00:18:19,828 Speaker 1: They had issues obviously beforehand. The knee is going to 366 00:18:19,868 --> 00:18:21,468 Speaker 1: be a question. You don't have a GM. You got 367 00:18:21,548 --> 00:18:23,708 Speaker 1: to hire a GM. You don't have a long history 368 00:18:23,748 --> 00:18:26,668 Speaker 1: of winning, So does this become the most attractive place 369 00:18:26,788 --> 00:18:29,868 Speaker 1: to coach? I'm not sure. It has to be somebody 370 00:18:29,868 --> 00:18:32,628 Speaker 1: who's willing to build from the from the ashes, because 371 00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:35,668 Speaker 1: right now, I don't know what you're walking into. And 372 00:18:36,468 --> 00:18:38,948 Speaker 1: you know, they asked yesterday miss Michael Bidwill, they asked 373 00:18:38,988 --> 00:18:40,668 Speaker 1: him the question during the press conference, you know, what 374 00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:42,388 Speaker 1: do you think about the quarterback? And he's like, yeah, 375 00:18:42,388 --> 00:18:44,788 Speaker 1: I've exchanged text with Kyler. Kyler might have some say 376 00:18:44,828 --> 00:18:47,668 Speaker 1: in like how there's there's Kyler. Murray earned the right 377 00:18:47,708 --> 00:18:50,508 Speaker 1: to pick who's the coach. We'll see. They had some 378 00:18:50,628 --> 00:18:53,628 Speaker 1: really good moments under Cliff Kingsbury. They had some really 379 00:18:53,748 --> 00:18:56,508 Speaker 1: bad moments under Cliff Kingsbury. But this guy, as as 380 00:18:56,548 --> 00:18:59,188 Speaker 1: Bidwill said, and as it was described, he's the hardest 381 00:18:59,228 --> 00:19:00,828 Speaker 1: working guy. And there's not a player who's going to 382 00:19:00,828 --> 00:19:03,508 Speaker 1: sneak negative about him. He'll cochach again somewhere. Don't cry 383 00:19:03,508 --> 00:19:05,308 Speaker 1: for him his paychecks or hit every two weeks for 384 00:19:05,308 --> 00:19:08,068 Speaker 1: the next five years. I'm actually I think I'll speak 385 00:19:08,068 --> 00:19:09,788 Speaker 1: for all three of us. Happy to see you today. 386 00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:12,148 Speaker 1: I thought you might be attending the party that Cliff 387 00:19:12,188 --> 00:19:15,548 Speaker 1: throws after he just leave the office. I think he's 388 00:19:15,548 --> 00:19:17,708 Speaker 1: on a yacht. I think he's going to dubai Jo. 389 00:19:17,828 --> 00:19:19,468 Speaker 1: He's getting out of town. You know what, Peter, he 390 00:19:19,508 --> 00:19:21,348 Speaker 1: should I talked to him. He's getting out of town. 391 00:19:21,348 --> 00:19:23,268 Speaker 1: You might not hear from him from You might not 392 00:19:23,308 --> 00:19:27,868 Speaker 1: hear from Cobbo. Cobo's entry. Cobo is called a three 393 00:19:27,948 --> 00:19:34,228 Speaker 1: day trip private islands somewhere bloom. No. No, that's a 394 00:19:34,308 --> 00:19:36,788 Speaker 1: place you've never Only Peter knows. It's a place I've 395 00:19:36,868 --> 00:19:40,388 Speaker 1: never heard of. We're talking private islands out, We're talking 396 00:19:40,468 --> 00:19:44,468 Speaker 1: to Meldune. We're talking real spots here. This continental. You know, 397 00:19:46,148 --> 00:19:49,028 Speaker 1: Brilin in history been happier to be fired than Cliff Kings. 398 00:19:49,068 --> 00:19:50,668 Speaker 1: I don't think he's happy. I want to get fired, 399 00:19:50,748 --> 00:19:52,788 Speaker 1: but I think he's not. He's not crying. I think 400 00:19:52,788 --> 00:19:55,108 Speaker 1: he expressly wanted to be fired. Yeah, and I don't care. 401 00:19:55,148 --> 00:19:56,948 Speaker 1: I just wanted to be fired. No one wants to 402 00:19:56,988 --> 00:19:58,388 Speaker 1: be fired. I don't think you want to do that 403 00:19:58,468 --> 00:20:00,068 Speaker 1: job anymore. I don't think you wanted to quit. So 404 00:20:00,228 --> 00:20:01,708 Speaker 1: the fact that they that they fired him and I 405 00:20:01,788 --> 00:20:04,068 Speaker 1: continue to get paid. Listen, you said it yourself. The 406 00:20:04,108 --> 00:20:06,268 Speaker 1: fact that they would let him go that early into 407 00:20:06,308 --> 00:20:08,948 Speaker 1: the contract. How badly did they need him out of there? 408 00:20:08,948 --> 00:20:10,948 Speaker 1: That means he's not gonna work with Kyler anymore. Kyler's 409 00:20:10,988 --> 00:20:13,268 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. I think that relationship, based on what 410 00:20:13,348 --> 00:20:15,748 Speaker 1: I'm looking at, was completely broken. And so now you're 411 00:20:15,748 --> 00:20:17,988 Speaker 1: gonna keep Cliff when Kyler comes back and it's not 412 00:20:18,108 --> 00:20:20,468 Speaker 1: the same player for a year. No, you gotta get 413 00:20:20,508 --> 00:20:22,228 Speaker 1: out of there. And like they needed him out of 414 00:20:22,228 --> 00:20:24,468 Speaker 1: there that badly that they're like, just go go what 415 00:20:24,588 --> 00:20:28,788 Speaker 1: was Abiza? Just go to Abitha. That's how Samahi ex 416 00:20:28,788 --> 00:20:30,588 Speaker 1: says it. When I hear her say go to Abitha 417 00:20:30,788 --> 00:20:32,588 Speaker 1: and we'll pay you for next five years. That's how 418 00:20:32,668 --> 00:20:36,228 Speaker 1: bad it is. I think Cliff watching him, that relationship 419 00:20:36,268 --> 00:20:38,068 Speaker 1: was broken and that relationship is his job. Him in 420 00:20:38,108 --> 00:20:40,788 Speaker 1: the quarterback and I listen, I'm sure he loves the 421 00:20:40,868 --> 00:20:42,428 Speaker 1: players and he's right for what that one of the 422 00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:44,388 Speaker 1: thirty two I think he threw out. Remember when Jordan 423 00:20:44,468 --> 00:20:45,908 Speaker 1: hit the shot over Elo. That was him in the 424 00:20:45,948 --> 00:20:48,428 Speaker 1: parking lot at the facility and Cliff, I have fun today, buddy, 425 00:20:48,428 --> 00:20:52,788 Speaker 1: You've earned it. Okay, all right, he had to be excited. 426 00:20:53,028 --> 00:20:55,268 Speaker 1: The crazy thing is I saw a stat yesterday. It 427 00:20:55,348 --> 00:20:57,788 Speaker 1: was just like the Arizona Cardinals, one hundred years of existed. 428 00:20:58,068 --> 00:21:00,108 Speaker 1: No coach has been there for six years of them 429 00:21:00,108 --> 00:21:01,868 Speaker 1: and a chef just set street out the Cliff thing 430 00:21:01,908 --> 00:21:03,988 Speaker 1: reds and fired and one hundred years of existed. It's like, oh, 431 00:21:04,028 --> 00:21:07,188 Speaker 1: coaches there for more than six years. He's like, oh 432 00:21:07,268 --> 00:21:10,468 Speaker 1: my goodness. But to that point, for Cliff, we watched 433 00:21:10,508 --> 00:21:13,228 Speaker 1: it all unfold. We saw a football game where Kyler 434 00:21:13,348 --> 00:21:15,628 Speaker 1: Murray is frustrated, he's coming off the field, He's yelling 435 00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:18,308 Speaker 1: at Cliff. DeAndre Hopkins is breaking it up. It's just like, 436 00:21:18,468 --> 00:21:20,908 Speaker 1: what the hell is going on in Arizona? And started 437 00:21:21,148 --> 00:21:23,748 Speaker 1: way back into something with all the contracts stuff, and 438 00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:26,308 Speaker 1: now you look at this job and is it attractive? 439 00:21:26,588 --> 00:21:28,508 Speaker 1: There's no GM. They have to find that person. But 440 00:21:28,708 --> 00:21:30,868 Speaker 1: to your point, Kyler gets hurt late in the season 441 00:21:30,948 --> 00:21:33,428 Speaker 1: this year, at what point is he coming back? And 442 00:21:33,508 --> 00:21:35,828 Speaker 1: then where's he gonna be for that first year coming 443 00:21:35,908 --> 00:21:37,748 Speaker 1: back off of knee andrey when he's a guy who 444 00:21:37,788 --> 00:21:40,188 Speaker 1: was a mobile guy, gets outside of the pocket just 445 00:21:40,308 --> 00:21:43,228 Speaker 1: the way he plays a football game. So now you're 446 00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:45,188 Speaker 1: coming in you don't know what you're getting and you 447 00:21:45,348 --> 00:21:47,988 Speaker 1: have to have Kyler say and picking the next head coach, 448 00:21:48,068 --> 00:21:51,508 Speaker 1: because that relationship is crucial. We just watch if it 449 00:21:51,628 --> 00:21:54,868 Speaker 1: deteriorates what it does to an entire team and organization 450 00:21:55,268 --> 00:21:58,068 Speaker 1: this year as Cliff and Kyla unfolded. So yeah, it 451 00:21:58,148 --> 00:22:00,508 Speaker 1: may be crazy to think Kyler Murray's gonna have an 452 00:22:00,508 --> 00:22:02,708 Speaker 1: impact on who the next coach. What has he done well? 453 00:22:02,748 --> 00:22:05,108 Speaker 1: He's the guy that you paid to be the face 454 00:22:05,188 --> 00:22:07,308 Speaker 1: of your franchise, so he has to have some say 455 00:22:07,508 --> 00:22:09,548 Speaker 1: because if those two guys don't get along, they won't 456 00:22:09,548 --> 00:22:11,508 Speaker 1: have a chance to win games. A couple of things. 457 00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,948 Speaker 1: I can't stand the player who gets to decide who 458 00:22:14,988 --> 00:22:18,468 Speaker 1: the coaches across any sport. I just hate it. But 459 00:22:19,108 --> 00:22:21,188 Speaker 1: I just don't I think, well, like Lebron James, he 460 00:22:21,268 --> 00:22:23,348 Speaker 1: gets to decide Like I hate that. I hate that 461 00:22:23,388 --> 00:22:25,868 Speaker 1: that's become a thing. I hate that the money has become. 462 00:22:26,068 --> 00:22:28,428 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I just like I value the 463 00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:32,308 Speaker 1: true hierarchy. If you will, of there's no arship right now, 464 00:22:32,348 --> 00:22:34,628 Speaker 1: I would agree he is the highest on the earth chart. 465 00:22:34,668 --> 00:22:36,988 Speaker 1: And I would agree to a certain extent because some 466 00:22:37,148 --> 00:22:40,228 Speaker 1: of these hierarchies are awful and you put it all 467 00:22:40,308 --> 00:22:43,308 Speaker 1: on them and we watch organizations year after year, get 468 00:22:43,348 --> 00:22:46,188 Speaker 1: a new head coach, fire, get a new general manager. Fire. 469 00:22:46,388 --> 00:22:47,828 Speaker 1: So it was just like, oh yeah, put it all 470 00:22:47,868 --> 00:22:50,228 Speaker 1: on that. Well, they failed for the past twenty years. 471 00:22:50,508 --> 00:22:52,588 Speaker 1: So at the same time, it's just like, well, should 472 00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:54,828 Speaker 1: we just be trusting him? Oh yeah, well they're pockets 473 00:22:54,828 --> 00:22:56,348 Speaker 1: are deep. We'll just fired this guy and hired the 474 00:22:56,468 --> 00:22:58,628 Speaker 1: next guy. But you just gave this guy a ton 475 00:22:58,708 --> 00:23:00,588 Speaker 1: of money. So it's just like, well, what are we 476 00:23:00,708 --> 00:23:02,868 Speaker 1: doing here? Yeah, it's just not a principle like I think, 477 00:23:03,108 --> 00:23:04,988 Speaker 1: get a good GM, get the him to pick the 478 00:23:05,068 --> 00:23:06,828 Speaker 1: head coach, and get the head coach to work to 479 00:23:07,228 --> 00:23:09,108 Speaker 1: find the guy that's gonna work. Rests with your quarterback. 480 00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:11,068 Speaker 1: But like the quarterback could be gone just as quickly 481 00:23:11,068 --> 00:23:12,788 Speaker 1: as a head coach was gone for other reasons too, 482 00:23:13,068 --> 00:23:15,588 Speaker 1: injury or you know, which is I just I hate 483 00:23:15,628 --> 00:23:17,908 Speaker 1: that that that has become a thing. Secondly, I kind 484 00:23:17,948 --> 00:23:20,148 Speaker 1: of miss college Cliff Kingsbury. I know we don't really 485 00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:21,668 Speaker 1: talk about college football in the show, but like, I 486 00:23:21,748 --> 00:23:23,828 Speaker 1: miss college Cliff Kingsbury. But like, being a head coach 487 00:23:23,868 --> 00:23:26,508 Speaker 1: in college sucks right now. So here's a couple of places. 488 00:23:26,668 --> 00:23:30,348 Speaker 1: Best places to visit in January, Um Thailand a great 489 00:23:30,388 --> 00:23:34,268 Speaker 1: place to go, Tasmania and then Saint Kitts. So if 490 00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:37,828 Speaker 1: Saint Kitts is an islands somewhere in the Caribbean, in 491 00:23:37,868 --> 00:23:41,588 Speaker 1: the Caribbean or or the Serengetti or the Serengetti, but 492 00:23:41,668 --> 00:23:43,628 Speaker 1: that feels like too much work. So I think he's 493 00:23:43,628 --> 00:23:45,948 Speaker 1: in one of those places, like just take a gander 494 00:23:46,028 --> 00:23:48,428 Speaker 1: at where Cliff Kingsbury could go. And I don't think 495 00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:51,748 Speaker 1: it's back to Oklahoma. I think said, you know, we 496 00:23:51,908 --> 00:23:53,068 Speaker 1: have a show. If you ever want to come on, 497 00:23:53,148 --> 00:23:57,588 Speaker 1: you welcome, come on, buddy, what am I'm not doing? 498 00:23:57,628 --> 00:24:00,028 Speaker 1: Am not before I am and doing the NFL Network 499 00:24:00,068 --> 00:24:01,588 Speaker 1: morning show out there enough So he's not going to 500 00:24:01,628 --> 00:24:03,908 Speaker 1: do the Matt rule where Matt Rule goes from Carolina 501 00:24:03,988 --> 00:24:06,228 Speaker 1: to our show and then onto a great college job. 502 00:24:06,668 --> 00:24:09,708 Speaker 1: Very difficult. Yeah you heard money for the next five years. 503 00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:11,428 Speaker 1: I don't want to be hired right now. Some Saint 504 00:24:11,468 --> 00:24:15,548 Speaker 1: Kitts good. Well, speaking of a young, hot, successful coach 505 00:24:15,668 --> 00:24:18,348 Speaker 1: is going to New Endeavor to day guys his future 506 00:24:18,428 --> 00:24:21,068 Speaker 1: in question, Peter, what's going on with McVay. Is he 507 00:24:21,188 --> 00:24:22,788 Speaker 1: gonna come back and he go to Amazon? And what's 508 00:24:22,788 --> 00:24:25,788 Speaker 1: going on what are we doing it? I just want 509 00:24:25,828 --> 00:24:27,628 Speaker 1: to go to Saint mois It, Saint Kitts or off. 510 00:24:27,868 --> 00:24:29,668 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Veronica and I went to Saint Kitts. We 511 00:24:29,788 --> 00:24:32,508 Speaker 1: tore it down. It's great mcveay talk. After this, McVay 512 00:24:32,548 --> 00:24:42,828 Speaker 1: ain't so it's time for a clean start. Presented by 513 00:24:42,948 --> 00:24:46,628 Speaker 1: Tide the Rams maybe looking for a fresh start after 514 00:24:46,748 --> 00:24:50,068 Speaker 1: a rough season. Sean McVay had some interesting comments about 515 00:24:50,148 --> 00:24:52,668 Speaker 1: his future as a head coach with the l A Rams. 516 00:24:54,028 --> 00:24:55,588 Speaker 1: I don't get the sense in the least bit I'm 517 00:24:55,588 --> 00:24:57,908 Speaker 1: done coaching, all right. It's just a matter of what 518 00:24:58,028 --> 00:25:00,428 Speaker 1: does that look like as it relates to the immediate future. 519 00:25:00,748 --> 00:25:02,668 Speaker 1: I think what I'd like to do is be able 520 00:25:02,748 --> 00:25:06,108 Speaker 1: to take the appropriate time. Never gone through anything like this, 521 00:25:06,388 --> 00:25:08,068 Speaker 1: but you want to make sure that you're considered of 522 00:25:08,108 --> 00:25:10,468 Speaker 1: the people that are affected. That that's the most important thing, 523 00:25:10,508 --> 00:25:13,028 Speaker 1: and that's probably you know. You want to be able 524 00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:16,348 Speaker 1: to the consistent conversations and dialogues that have existed with 525 00:25:16,468 --> 00:25:18,508 Speaker 1: the people that I love and really care about. Hey, 526 00:25:18,628 --> 00:25:21,028 Speaker 1: do what you think is best for you and Veronica. 527 00:25:22,028 --> 00:25:25,068 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it takes away the empathy, the 528 00:25:25,188 --> 00:25:27,628 Speaker 1: level of responsibility that I do feel for the people 529 00:25:27,708 --> 00:25:30,828 Speaker 1: that would be affected, you know, as it relates to 530 00:25:30,948 --> 00:25:33,308 Speaker 1: my decision moving forward. And so those are the things 531 00:25:33,428 --> 00:25:39,228 Speaker 1: that you don't take lightly. All right, So what do 532 00:25:39,308 --> 00:25:42,548 Speaker 1: we make of mcvay's comments yesterday? He needs time, he 533 00:25:42,628 --> 00:25:45,268 Speaker 1: doesn't think he's done coaching, but his coaches don't know 534 00:25:45,308 --> 00:25:47,548 Speaker 1: what'll do yet. Matthew Stafford doesn't know what he's gonna do. 535 00:25:48,028 --> 00:25:49,628 Speaker 1: Why does that make you feel as a guy who 536 00:25:49,668 --> 00:25:51,828 Speaker 1: could easily put yourself back in that locker room. Yeah, 537 00:25:51,868 --> 00:25:53,748 Speaker 1: I look at this two ways. If I'm a player 538 00:25:53,788 --> 00:25:56,028 Speaker 1: in that locker room, it's just like, well, damn, coach, 539 00:25:56,068 --> 00:25:57,468 Speaker 1: you stood up in front of us and you've been 540 00:25:57,508 --> 00:25:59,988 Speaker 1: preaching all of these things for the past however many years, 541 00:26:00,388 --> 00:26:02,668 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, like it got tough 542 00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:06,988 Speaker 1: and you're skating. Really, you're leaving now and it possibly 543 00:26:07,068 --> 00:26:09,388 Speaker 1: come back later. But it's on the other hand, I 544 00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:11,948 Speaker 1: look at him just like, good for you, Sean McVay. Hell, 545 00:26:11,988 --> 00:26:14,228 Speaker 1: if you want to do it, you've made money, you've 546 00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:16,428 Speaker 1: won a super Bowl, get the hell out of town, 547 00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:19,268 Speaker 1: go and enjoy what you've accomplished so far. So it's 548 00:26:19,308 --> 00:26:21,228 Speaker 1: twofold if I'm in the locker room. It's just like, bro, 549 00:26:21,308 --> 00:26:22,908 Speaker 1: don't leave us now and then think all of a 550 00:26:22,908 --> 00:26:24,708 Speaker 1: sudden you're gonna walk back in the door after we 551 00:26:24,788 --> 00:26:26,668 Speaker 1: build up a roster and do all these other things. 552 00:26:26,868 --> 00:26:29,108 Speaker 1: But if I'm in Sean mcvay's corners, just like, hey, 553 00:26:29,148 --> 00:26:31,988 Speaker 1: if you're not happy, you're stressed, walk away from it. 554 00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:35,348 Speaker 1: We get so in golf, getting outside of you leave 555 00:26:35,388 --> 00:26:37,308 Speaker 1: it alone. Yeah, and the press confers is good, it's 556 00:26:37,308 --> 00:26:39,228 Speaker 1: thirteen minutes. I encourage everyone to go find it. And 557 00:26:39,268 --> 00:26:40,588 Speaker 1: one of the things he said was like I'm not 558 00:26:40,628 --> 00:26:42,388 Speaker 1: trying to be dramatic here, like I get it, like 559 00:26:42,508 --> 00:26:44,428 Speaker 1: people have it worse off. Like he's self aware, he 560 00:26:44,508 --> 00:26:48,028 Speaker 1: knows no one don't worry about that. But you a 561 00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:51,268 Speaker 1: really really brutal couple of months there, and it's not 562 00:26:51,348 --> 00:26:54,628 Speaker 1: just football related. His wife's family is all in Ukraine 563 00:26:54,788 --> 00:26:57,268 Speaker 1: and that is a huge stress right now. As Kyle, 564 00:26:57,388 --> 00:27:00,548 Speaker 1: you know that situation over there. You also have the 565 00:27:00,828 --> 00:27:03,868 Speaker 1: passing of his grandfather who was not only his mentor 566 00:27:04,028 --> 00:27:06,388 Speaker 1: but a confidant that he talked to on a very 567 00:27:06,828 --> 00:27:08,468 Speaker 1: similar so he've had a lot of this stuff. Then 568 00:27:08,508 --> 00:27:09,908 Speaker 1: you added all the injuries, so like he's just like, 569 00:27:09,988 --> 00:27:12,068 Speaker 1: give me a little bit of time away and I'll decide. 570 00:27:12,508 --> 00:27:16,148 Speaker 1: But I don't see this going on for months. I 571 00:27:16,228 --> 00:27:18,148 Speaker 1: think in maybe a couple of weeks and then they'll decide. 572 00:27:18,508 --> 00:27:21,908 Speaker 1: But he's aware every day that's spent that's a coach 573 00:27:21,948 --> 00:27:23,428 Speaker 1: who might be able to go and go on another 574 00:27:23,508 --> 00:27:25,628 Speaker 1: staff if he leaves, or that's a player that might 575 00:27:25,668 --> 00:27:27,428 Speaker 1: want to make a decision about their life. So he's 576 00:27:27,468 --> 00:27:29,708 Speaker 1: self aware. I think he's earned the time to just 577 00:27:29,788 --> 00:27:31,028 Speaker 1: give at least a couple of weeks. But if this 578 00:27:31,068 --> 00:27:33,348 Speaker 1: starts going month to month to month, like what's McVeigh doing, 579 00:27:33,508 --> 00:27:35,548 Speaker 1: then it's time to start calling himselfish. Do you have 580 00:27:35,628 --> 00:27:37,268 Speaker 1: a sense of like he takes just a year off 581 00:27:37,308 --> 00:27:39,548 Speaker 1: and just chills with family, or he goes and sits 582 00:27:39,588 --> 00:27:41,388 Speaker 1: at death somewhere in does media. I think he could 583 00:27:41,428 --> 00:27:43,548 Speaker 1: do a mixture of both. I think he would want 584 00:27:43,708 --> 00:27:45,668 Speaker 1: knowing him, he'd want to consult with other coaches from 585 00:27:45,668 --> 00:27:48,148 Speaker 1: different leagues, like you know, sit down with maybe the 586 00:27:48,228 --> 00:27:50,348 Speaker 1: coach of the Celtics or sit down with the coach 587 00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:53,148 Speaker 1: of Arsenal and kind of consultant say what he can do, 588 00:27:53,228 --> 00:27:55,868 Speaker 1: but also mental health stuff get right and then the 589 00:27:55,948 --> 00:27:58,428 Speaker 1: last point two year things like, maybe he does eight 590 00:27:58,468 --> 00:28:00,788 Speaker 1: weeks with Amazon, or he does eight weeks with Fox, 591 00:28:00,988 --> 00:28:03,228 Speaker 1: or he does, you know, six pregame shows with ESPN. 592 00:28:03,268 --> 00:28:04,708 Speaker 1: I don't think he's taken on a full load and 593 00:28:04,828 --> 00:28:08,028 Speaker 1: doing a broadcasting schedule now, I don't. I don't think 594 00:28:08,068 --> 00:28:10,108 Speaker 1: this is going to be any becoming unique thing moving forward. 595 00:28:10,228 --> 00:28:12,308 Speaker 1: Media is changing, the coaches are changing, the coaches are 596 00:28:12,348 --> 00:28:14,828 Speaker 1: getting younger, they're getting more media savvy. I mean, would 597 00:28:14,828 --> 00:28:16,988 Speaker 1: anybody be shocked if a year from now, Nick Sirianni 598 00:28:17,028 --> 00:28:19,108 Speaker 1: said I'm gonna have some opportunities to do this, and 599 00:28:19,148 --> 00:28:20,748 Speaker 1: I love you guys, but I'll be back. I'm not 600 00:28:20,748 --> 00:28:22,068 Speaker 1: saying he will or won't, but I don't think this 601 00:28:22,108 --> 00:28:23,668 Speaker 1: is gonna be something that's outlandish in the next couple 602 00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:23,948 Speaker 1: of years
