Who 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.880 has it better than we do? Staut of the Day 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.920 brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.400 of the Dan Patrick Show. If you're just tuning in, 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:32.080 Pete Carroll is back in the NFL, the Raiders and 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.199 Pete Carroll working on a deal, finalizing a deal to 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.240 make him the next head coach of the Raiders, reportedly 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.239 a three year deal. Booker McFarlane in the Mothership. We'll 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:45.280 get his reaction to this coming up shortly, and Ryan Day, 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.839 Ohio state head coach, will stop by as well. The 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.839 Jags have a new coach. He's Liam Cohen and he 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.720 left Tampa Bay, went to Jacksonville and then came back 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.160 to Tampa Bay, and then left Tampa Bay and then 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:00.520 went back to Jacksonville. 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.120 And now he goes back as the head coach. 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:08.160 Commander's Eagles three Eastern Bills, Chiefs six point thirty Eastern 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.959 and Weather shouldn't be an issue either one of these places. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.400 Commanders still getting six and the Bills are getting one 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.759 and a half. More phone calls coming up this final hour, 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:24.000 we make way for NFL College and ESPN College and 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.120 NFL analyst Booker McFarland on the program. Your reaction to 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.039 Pete Carroll back in the NFL coach and the Raiders booger. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.160 Well, I think the Raiders wants stability. I think that's 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.919 the one thing you're getting when you get a veteran 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:37.919 coach like Pete Carroll. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:39.240 I think it's good. 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.360 I think Pete Carroll is going to give them a 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.720 sense of okay, now we are a professional organization. Not 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.760 that they weren't well with Antonio Peers, but you just 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.160 got the feeling that there was always the question, are 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.360 we going to keep Antonio or are we not? I 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.280 think Pete Carroll's hire says we got our coach. I 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.200 think it's a three year deal with the team option 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.520 for the fourth, so I think Pete's in good shape 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.120 now has the ability. Now comes the big question, Dan, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.600 who's going to be the quarterback? Because I don't think Gardner, 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.520 Minshew or aoc ain't O'Connell. Either one of them are 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.359 the answers. So now they have to figure that out. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.640 And then I think Pete Carroll has always been a 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.040 guy that got his team to play at a maximum level. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.080 So I expect no different now with the Raiders. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.880 Okay, but as a veteran, like what is Pete Carroll 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.200 going to bring to that organization aside from stability, but 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.640 I'm talking about day to day like why would Pete 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.280 Carroll be the person that they wanted. I know they 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.880 lost out on Ben Johnson, but yeah, you go from 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.639 Ben Johnson with no head coaching experience to Pete Carroll 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.760 with a lot of head coaching experience. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.160 Structure, been there, He's taking teams to Super Bowls. Like, 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.080 Pete understands how to get it done. Pete knows what 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.800 it takes. And I think anytime you have somebody that 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.359 stands in front of the room who knows what it takes, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.280 you automatically have buy in because you've been there, You've 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.840 done that, and so now the players know that if 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.840 we just do what Pete says, Pete will take us there. 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.280 And there's nothing better in any type of job that 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.119 you're in. I think you will attest to this, there's 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.120 nothing better than confidence. It's amazing what happens when you 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.920 get the right people in the right place. How that 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.520 gives an organization confidence. Just look at the Washington Commanders. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.360 They were left for dead last year. Incomes Dan Quinn. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.760 They get new ownership, they get a new quarterback, and 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.520 they're planning for a chance to go to the Super Bowl. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:20.799 Dan. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.840 Let that be no better example than when you get 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.280 the right people in the right spot. Now your organization 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.200 can take off. Whether the Raiders take off at that level, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.240 we'll see, but they definitely have the right coach. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.000 In my opinion. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.560 The big difference is obviously Jaden Daniels. But is this 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.680 team's pretty much the team that was there last year 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.360 and then you add Jayden to this. I mean, is 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.520 it that simple that that kind of turnaround. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.000 Well, the quarterback is a big piece, and then you 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.640 bring in Bobby Wagner, you get some veteran guys, but 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.480 there's no question that the quarterback is the central piece 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.240 to that touches the ball every single play. Then and 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.160 when you have a guy that's a difference maker that 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.960 touches the ball every single play, now, the other fifty 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.560 two guys in the organization understanding know that we got 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.880 a guy that can compete with the upper echeline of 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:13.360 the league. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:14.560 And I'm not saying he's. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.960 Better than Mahomes or Borough, Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.240 but he can't compete. And when I wake up and 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.520 go to the building every morning, man, that's a great 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.560 feeling because I know, if I do my job. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.120 We got a chance. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.200 There's a difference when you have a guy in there. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.120 And no disrespect to Sam Howell. Sam Howell wasn't getting 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.719 me warm and fuzzy every time I walked in the building. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.080 Jay Daniels gives me an opportunity to be that way. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.839 How do they beat the Eagles? 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:41.960 Stop the run? 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.680 They gotta stop, say Kwan Barkley. And it sounds crazy 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.839 because Jalen Hurts. We've seen him go toe to toe 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.720 with Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl. But they got 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.560 to make Jalen Hurst beat him. They got to make 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.520 Jalen Hurst throw the football to AJ Brown and Devonte Smith. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.240 I think it's the lesser of. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.680 Two evils because either one the passing game or the 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.960 running game, can get you. But I think if you 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.200 are the command who's You've got to take away these 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.440 fifty sixty seven yard run that sain Kwon Bark has 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.840 been putting up and make Jalen Hurts beat you. And 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.640 I think if they do that, they'll at least give 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.800 themselves an opportunity to. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.800 We don't know if he's one hundred percent Jalen hurds right. 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.279 So given that you know that knee could be a 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.400 little bonky, do you want to kind of force him 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.400 to be mobile as opposed to force him to being 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.480 a pocket pancer. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.840 Well, I think anytime he's in the pocket number one, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.880 you want to get pressure up the middle, Like with 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.359 Jonathan Allen Deron Payin. You want pressure up the middle, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.440 and then you want to make him go to his left. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.720 I think the numbers are are astronomically worse when he 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.520 goes to his left, as you would expect right handed 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.440 quarterback going left. It's tougher to throw. So you want 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.320 to make him go to his left rather than Scramblin 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.440 says right. So if I'm bringing pressure, I'm bringing pressure 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.680 from his right arm. I'm going to make him go left. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.320 Anything you can get to take advantage of his impairment, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.920 because let's face it, Nobody, even if you don't get 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.960 your knee twisted, is healthy this time of year, but 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.120 especially him when he got that knees twisted up. I mean, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.520 we thought maybe he wasn't going to come back in 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.599 the game last week, and then he comes back and 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.600 he finishes. I don't think he's going to be one 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.080 hundred percent. I think if you're an Eagles fan and 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.640 you're hoping he's closer to eighty five or ninety, I 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.080 would bet he's probably closer to seventy five. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:26.520 Will know early. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.200 I'm blitzing him early, and I'm going to see whether 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.160 or not he can run. And if I know early 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.240 on he can't run, that changes my entire game plan. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.479 And so I think you're gonna see dan Quinn find 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.120 out in the first series how healthy that knee is 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.000 by bringing pressure from the from the right, from his 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.040 right arm or up the middle, make him run and 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.240 just see how healthy he is. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.560 What would you do as a defensive player with Mahomes 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.680 with the sliding that going out of the going out 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:56.560 of bounds, Dude, it feels like you know, he knows 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.920 he's protected and he's kind of flirting with these rules here. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960 But as a defensive player, what would you do. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:05.640 I think it's up to the coaches. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.440 Number one pregame, I think you have a talk to 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:12.600 the referee, like, hey, listen, we know the quarterback is protected. However, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.280 how do you want us to handle this when he's 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.880 a runner, Because when he's a runner, he's not protected, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.240 because again he's a runner, not a quarterback in the pocket. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.560 But we've seen mahomes run down the field and then 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.320 slide twenty or thirty yards down the field. And so 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.960 I'm having a talk with the referee just to say, hey, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.360 let's alert and be on alert for the late slide 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.720 because if I'm already in my tackling motion, I can't stop. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.280 And then you got to tell your defenders, hey, guys, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.560 let's proceed with aggressive caution. And here's what I mean. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.320 You got to go ahet in one hundred miles an hour. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.840 And then at the last minute, if you think if 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.240 he's sliding, then use your hands. Don't hit him with 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.720 your elbow in your head, use your hands to get 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.440 him down. I think the biggest deal with these penalties 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.560 is you're seeing a lot of blows with your shoulder 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.480 pass or the helmet or the form to Patrick mahomes head, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.840 let's use our hands to get him on the ground. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.000 And I think if they do that, they'll probably get 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.040 the benefit of the doubt. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.200 But I think. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.640 Patrick understands how to manipulate the rules a little bit, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.400 and I don't blame it. How many times have we 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.480 seen him though, like he's going out of bounds and 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:21.600 he puts that foot in the ground. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.000 And gets another ten or fifteen No, I know. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.480 I think that's where you have to alert the reff like, hey, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:26.880 how are you going to call that? 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.080 And what would you like me to do? 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:29.800 Booker, I've said it now. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.200 I'm not calling for it, but I know that somebody's 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.840 going to hit him. Somebody's going to pop him at 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.720 some point. If you're going to continue to flirt with 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.079 the I'm going out of bound, not going out of bounds, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.079 I'm sliding them, not sly, somebody's going to take a shot. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.640 Deal with the fifteen yards benches clear, Maybe a fine, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.480 But until the NFL, if you want to protect your quarterbacks, 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.200 they have to do better at this rule or these 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.440 rules so the defense can understand how can this be 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.720 a level playing field, because as it is now, it's 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.160 not a level playing field. And maybe they don't want 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.800 that booger, but at some point I worry that somebody's 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.200 gonna take Sean Well. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:11.880 I don't think to your point, I don't know if 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.679 they wanted to be a level playing field because they 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.800 realize that the quarterbacks sell. Like right now, we're looking 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.160 at Jay and Daniels, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, and Josh Allen, 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.680 and I think the NFL is salivating right now that 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:28.080 we're gonna any combination of two of these four quarterbacks 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:28.760 in the Super Bowl. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:29.480 We can sell it. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.679 And that's what you want, Like if you go back 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.840 to the Super Bowl with Nick Foles in it, like 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.080 the NFL, like Philadelphia want everybody's happy. But we ain't 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.440 selling Nick Foles to America to tune in with one 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.880 hundred and thirty million people. I love Nick Foles, but 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.160 he's not making me warm and fuzzy to turn the 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.840 TV to CBS. And so I think that the NFL 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.000 is going to protect their quarterbacks. However, you have to 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.240 make the game fair for defensive players. And to your point, Dan, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.680 I may even tell my defenders this, hey, guys, early 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.280 in the game, first half, first half, I'll give you. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:04.840 I'll give you a little leeway. 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.600 So if he's going out of bounds, take a shot 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.559 because we can recover in the second half. Now, like 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.360 the game, you gotta be cautious, but the first half, 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.280 let's light his ass up a little. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:15.679 Bit, you know what I mean. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.160 NFL Prime Time with Chris Berman and Booger McFarland right 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.080 after the game, the AFC Title Game at around nine 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.479 to forty five Eastern on the Mothership. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.080 Are the Bills a running team? 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.760 I think the Bills are whatever they need to be team. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.960 You know, when they had Stefan Diggs, that's all we 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.040 talked about was Stefan Diggs, Josh Allen. Now they've morphed 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.440 into this team that they can do whatever they need 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.440 to do. They went out and got a Marik Cooper 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.120 so they can throw the football to secure Amari Cooper. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:49.800 They got the two tidy impactags they can go to 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.360 they can throw at the James, could go out to 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.400 the backfield, so they have weapons to throw the football. However, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.920 I think what we've realized is this postseason, Dan, the 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.040 more physical teams are winning these games. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:00.280 Right. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.560 The team that can control the line of scrimmage and 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.240 be physically imposing. Those are the teams that are winning 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.120 these games. And I think Buffalo said, Okay, we've tried 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.600 this with Josh being Superman. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.360 That didn't work. We've tried this a number of ways. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.079 So how about let's be physical. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.360 Let's get thirty five carries a game between our running 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.400 backs and Josh Allen. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.000 Let's control the line of scrimmage. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.320 And then in those moments late in the movie, okay 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.640 about the time the movies about the commes tell the 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.800 god at quarterback to put the kpe on and now 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.960 go turn into Superman. And when he turns into Superman, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.800 that means whatever he needs to do. 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:34.600 If he needs to. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.520 Run thirty, run thirty, If he needs to throw a sixty, 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.520 to throw a sixty. And so I think they've developed 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.520 into that type of team with one caveat, don't turn 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.280 the football over. They haven't turned the ball over, and 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.880 I think those are the primary reasons they've been successful. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.440 Are you chiefed out? 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:51.480 No? 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.520 I never get chiefed out, because when you're a competitor, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.720 every year is different. And so to say I'm chiefed 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.280 out with mean that I'm rooting for. I'm not rooting 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.520 for the best teams. I think that each and every 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.120 time you go out, you got to earn it. The 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.560 Chiefs have earned back to back Super Bowls. If they 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.920 get to a third, they will have earned it. Everything 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.160 is earned in this business. Then nothing is given, man, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.160 And so I'm not chiefed out because I know how 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.880 hard it is to go and earn what it is 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.280 that you need to get to win a Super Bowl. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.600 I won two of them, none of them. Nothing has 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.720 ever been given. Everything has got to be earned. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.520 Do you think the Chiefs get favorable calls? 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.719 I think the home team is always going to get 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.640 favorable calls, and the Chiefs have pretty much been at 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.800 home except for one playoff run, So I do think 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.240 that they get favorable calls because the crowd think about this. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.840 I'm gonna put a scenario out there. Let's say Patrick 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.760 Mahomes is running down the chief sideline and there's a 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.240 questionable hit. Everybody in the stadium along with everybody in 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.280 the sideline, is going to be throw the flag through 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.800 the flag and human nature is going to. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.280 Kind of influenced the offishal. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.000 Look like it takes somebody really that that's got a 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:08.760 really nice temperament and a really strong demeanor not to 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.679 listen to seventy thousand plus all the coaches. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.200 In front of your in front of your face doing that. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.600 So I think the home team, especially on the home sideline, 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.559 always get a favorable flag. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.960 My best to Chris Berman and we'll be watching Sunday night. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.319 Great to talk to you again. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.800 Always man, love coming on with you guys. Thank you 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.200 for having me. 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.760 Sir Booger McFarlane. One of these days he's coming up 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.800 for a meet Friday. It keeps threatening. I mean, we'll 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.880 get ready, we'll have he can create the menu NFL 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.240 Primetime with Chris Berman and Booger right after the conclusion 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.000 of the AFC title game on the mother Ship Alex 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.480 in Utah. Then we'll take a break. Ryan Day, the 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.199 Ohio state head coach, will join us. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:54.000 Hey Alex, Hey, morning guys, Happy Meet Friday. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.320 I am yeah. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.920 I in my short time as like a big foot, 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.079 I can't think of a better coach division than the 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.240 AFC West now, So I guess that's sort of my 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.680 question is, is there has there been a better coach 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.040 division where you have potentially four Hall of famers all 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.960 coaching one division at the same time and also makes 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.760 me wonder how long before Tom Brady goes to give 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.440 Pete Carroll high five and then just low balls him 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.640 by saying, hey, Malcolm Butler and then boss away. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.480 I don't know if Malcolm Butler comes up in the 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.760 press conference when they introduced Pete Carol, I don't think so. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.640 Just guessing, yeah, coach, we're handing this one off. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:35.760 Or. 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.520 Yeah, Pete, game on the line. You're gonna run the 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.480 ball to go? Are you going to pass the ball? 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:44.960 Question? 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:47.560 We'll have to do some research. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:53.000 Is this the best head coaching division in recent memory? 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:53.800 With the NFL? 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.360 Yes, morv recent memory. 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.840 I was going to say all time, NFC East was 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.480 a parcels, Tom Landry, Joe Gibbs. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:02.600 That's just all the top Jack. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:03.200 For mel. 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.280 Was was Vermeil the head coach. Then the Eagles checkingiggles. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.200 All right, let me take a break. We'll talk to 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.840 Brian day after this.

And the fact 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:52.840 that we've been friends for the last twenty years and 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:53.640 still work together. 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.400 I mean that says something, right. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.680 So check us out.

That 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.080 AFC West with Pete Carroll with the Raiders, Jim Harball 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.920 with the Chargers, Sean Payton and Denver, Andy Reid and 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.240 Kansas City. We were trying to come up with on 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:43.360 short notice, is there another conference division that had coaches 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.360 that would rival this one? Because Andy Reach's Hall of Famer, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.760 Jim Harball, he's a football Hall of Fame, not NFL 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:56.200 hall of Fame. And Sean Payton probably a borderline Hall 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.640 of Famer. Pete Carroll in there as well, winning a 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.120 Super Bowl and lose a Super Bowl as well, but 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.200 now back with the Raiders and a three year deal. 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:05.520 Age seven to seven to three. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.600 DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.840 handle a DP show. He's Ryan Day, head coach at 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.159 Ohio State, National Champs coach. Congratulations. How much of this 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.000 was joy and how much of this was relief? 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:22.760 And it was a combination of the two. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.600 Yeah, it was it was both, and I think the 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.480 whole run that we went on throughout the playoffs was 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.720 that way. I really haven't had as much fun coaching 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.880 a team like that in a long time. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.680 It was just a bunch of guys together. There really 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:39.760 was no class. 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.680 Because class was out, and we just spent a bunch 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.040 of time together and had a bunch of fun, bunch 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.240 of fun playing. But in the end, as we headed 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.639 in that last game, we just knew that, you know, 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.840 it would just be another story that kind of comes 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.800 and goes. But now the fact that we won, we're 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.600 able to cement that story in the history of college football, 0:17:58.600 --> 0:17:59.640 and obviously at Ohio State. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.119 Take me back to Michigan and I had a former 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.800 player say this to me that when Michigan tried to 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:11.080 plant the flag, that maybe brought your team together or 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.600 more together. Whether that's true or not, you would know 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.399 that better. But it's almost like it galvanized this team. 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.440 Nothing's going to be easy us against the world. They 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.080 embarrassed us. Now let's go out and prove that we're 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:26.000 still the best team. Anything I'm saying that wasn't true. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.560 I think it's certainly part of the story of the year. 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.679 There's no question about that. And I felt like this 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:39.399
