0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.440

<v Speaker 1>Everything that happened yesterday, last night, and now this morning,

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.439

<v Speaker 1>noon Eastern. Nick Saban yesterday, also Pete Carroll yesterday. I

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>thought Mike Brabel and the Titans parting ways was a

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>big deal. That was That was just the appetizer here.

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Now we got to an entree, and then another entree,

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.800

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of thoughts on everything that happened yesterday and so

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>far today eight seven to seven three DP show Seaton

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Poll question from hour one and then what.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Are we gonna go with an hour two? Dan hour one?

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 2>We put up there.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>We have who we'll have a better season next year, Alabama,

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>the Patriots or the Seahawks. Sixty seven percent of the

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 3>audience say Alabama, followed by the Seahawks. Oh, not a

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 3>lot of the Patriots rebounding next year?

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>New coach Bump. Okay, that's not great. What are we

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with the hour two? We're gonna throw up there?

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Harder to replace Bill Belichick or Nick Staban? Is that

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 3>too much of a landslide for Nick Saban?

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I would think so, yeah, I would think so, all right,

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll go back to who do we want to have

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>it here?

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 3>With the Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll or Nick Savid.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>That one's probably a lot closer.

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I like that one, you know, because people think I

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>get a couple of beers in Bill and maybe he's

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna open up a little bit, start dishing on some things.

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Pete.

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, Pete would be fun, But I think

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Nick Saban might be sneaky great with something like that.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's see we'll get phone calls. Gary Danielson.

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Gary Danielson has called over five hundred college games, including

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 1>one hundred of Nick sabins. He'll join us, the longtime

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>voice of the sec on CBS, former quarterback in the NFL.

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>He'll join us coming up. Also Tom Pelsero, the insider

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>for NFL Network. Sort Of the coaching carousel got stopped

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and then spun in a different direction. With Mike Rabel

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>now available. Pete Carroll I think still wants to coach.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>The Chicago Bears situation is really interesting to me for

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>a couple of reasons. You have Matt Eberflus who had

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to fire his quarterbacks coach an offensive coordinator. Okay, if

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you're going to do that, what coach is going to

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>want to come in as your offensive coordinator knowing that

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you might be fired the following year. Therefore, you're going

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>in there and then you may be shown the door

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>because the coaching staff would be fired. Unless you are

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>going to have Matt Eberflus, You're going to bring in

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a new offensive coordinator and a new quarterbacks coach because

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you're taking Caleb Williams. And if I'm Matt Eberflus, if

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I can hold on and get another couple of years

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>here and now I have a different quarterback. But you'll

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>have to extend Matt Eberflus. You have to give him

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a contract extension because if not, he's going to be

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a lane duck coach and you're going to bring in

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a coaching staff or at least offensive coordinator. Why would

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I take that job if I'm not even sure if

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the coach is going to be there, and if you're

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>going to bring in Caleb Williams, because if you don't,

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and now you're bringing in another offensive coordinator quarterbacks coach

0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>for Justin Fields and that's not fair to him. And

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this is the first time I thought, Okay, maybe they

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>are moving off Justin Fields and they are going to

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>take Caleb Williams or Drake May, but they're going to

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>take a quarterback because I have to extend the coach

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and then I have to bring in an offensive coordinator

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and a quarterbacks coach and have those contracts. You know,

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.239
<v Speaker 1>let's sync up there, or why would you take the job?

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That coach is going to be a lame duck coach.

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So I'm expecting the Bears, if they're not moving on

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>from him, that they're going to extend him, and that

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the Bears were probably going to move on from Justin Fields.

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't get that feeling a week ago, but

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I did yesterday. Yeah, kind of interesting. All right, so

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>we have our poll question and we'll get phone calls.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, once again, watching on Peacock. Sign up for

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the newsletter. If you are interested in joining us at

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.760

<v Speaker 1>have to do is go to the newsletter and have

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>all the information tonight at sixth Eastern and we'll let

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you know how you can join us in Las Vegas.

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Gary Danielson on the golf course, and we appreciate him

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>taking time out from his great golf game.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure what hole are you on? Gary?

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes? Dan fact, then really, I'm not to be accurate.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm not taking time out. I'm actually doing playing. But

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 4>we are thirteen. We usually start about seven thirty and

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 4>we play really fast.

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, how surprised were you with the Nick Saban news?

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, college football is different. You know, you cannot give

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 4>anybody any heads up about what's going on. If you

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 4>even hint that you know you might have one two

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 4>years left and you're thinking about it, you'll get killed

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 4>and recruiting. So I knew whenever Nick decided to do it,

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 4>it would be a surprise or very few people would

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 4>know about it. I don't even think a staff will

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 4>about it. So it was going to be one of

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 4>those days and two or three o'clock there was just

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 4>going to be an announcement and then it was going

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 4>to happen. And I think it was going to happen. Now, No,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.799
<v Speaker 4>didn't didn't realize that there is a bit of a transition.

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 4>I think for his football team. I think he was

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 4>really proud of the way this this last team played

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 4>and the job he did. So, you know, I guess

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 4>it kind of makes sense. I think I think he

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 4>and Bill and Nick are all the same age. They're

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 4>seventy two years old.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it feels like Pete Carroll still wants to coach,

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Belichick still wants to coach. I think I think college football,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>today's college football probably sped up the retirement for Nick Saban.

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I think nil and transfer portal now, all of a sudden,

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>college football you have less control than you do as

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>an NFL head coach.

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 4>I think that's a good observation. I think, you know,

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 4>the way that Nick has always built his program is

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 4>obviously recruited great players. I think he was one of

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 4>the you know, the people that really saw the future

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 4>even when he was at Michigan State. When he took

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 4>the job at LSU, he realized he had to be

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 4>at a place to recruit the best to win. So

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 4>I think as he's looked now at his age, is

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 4>a a little more frustrating for these coaches. I can

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 4>see that. You know, it sure is different. I've heard

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 4>stories now from coaches and when you walk into a

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 4>recruits room, before you say anything about what type of

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 4>offense you're playing, they want to know, let's get right

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 4>down to it. How much am I going to get?

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 4>And I think nil really doesn't explain the process. I

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 4>don't think it's nil. I actually think it's paid to play.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>The importance of Saban to the success of the SEC.

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>How do you quantify that?

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 4>I think it's immeasurable. The fact that he left Michigan

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 4>State and went to LSU. I think he saw kind

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 4>of the future. I think the demographics of the Midwest changed.

0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 4>I think Nick was a bit frustrated that any realized

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 4>to be at the right school in a state where

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 4>he could control recruiting. You know, the way Ohio State

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 4>and coach at Ohio State, he was at Michigan State.

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 4>You know that's an interesting job. Michigan State. You're right

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 4>there in the middle of the state, and the players

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 4>are south of you. And three of the most famous

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 4>schools in college football are just south of you, Notre Dame,

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 4>Michigan and Ohio State. So and everybody was shocked. But

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 4>I think Nick Saban's he saw the feature he went

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 4>to Michigan State. I think he got a couple of

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 4>breaks in his career though one his staff did not

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 4>go to Michigan State, and I think he used that

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 4>very widely to hire you know, the Will Musk Champs

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 4>and the Jimbo Fishers, you know, really hungry, good young

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 4>coaches that recruited well. And the other break I think was,

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, I don't know how his NFL career were

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.359
<v Speaker 4>to gone, but I don't know if he goes to Alabama,

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 4>if Drew Brees goes to Miami Dolphins. So you know,

0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 4>these things work out. But Nick is very driven. I mean,

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 4>I've done five hundred televised games, and I think a

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 4>hundred of them have been with Nick Saban and I personally,

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, I prepare for the meetings, I go to practice.

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 4>I think if he does not respect that, you're prepared

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 4>and understand at least, he doesn't expect you to know everything,

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 4>but he expects you to work hard for the game,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 4>just like he expects his entire organization to work hard.

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 4>And I think he's got I think he understands athletes too.

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, they want a coach that can help them win,

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 4>and they want a coach that can help them get

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 4>to the next level, whether it's a high school coach,

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 4>a college coach, or obviously in the pros. They want

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 4>to get the next level is to make more money.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I saw sort of a parallel with what

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>John Caliperry's tried to do at Kentucky, that he's preparing

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you for that next job going into the NBA. He

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't been as successful as Nick Saban. But Saban

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 1>could keep a lot of those players for three years,

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe four years then, and I on transfer Portal kind

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>of happened upon us. When you're in the production meeting

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>with Saban. How much would he share with you?

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 4>I never asked him to share any strategy. I just

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 4>don't feel that that is a fair question to ask

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 4>a coach. I really never wanted to know, you know,

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 4>what your chip plays or anything like that. I more,

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 4>I would let him know that I've watched the tape,

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 4>not by telling him, but on my question. I would

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 4>ask him pointed questions about things that happened last game,

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 4>things that I've seen the other team do, what changes

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 4>or what players he feels need to play better. Nick

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 4>was never Nick was very good to us. You know,

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 4>he liked Vern a lot. You know, I did ninety

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 4>SEC games with Nick Saber and you know most of

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 4>those obviously the last five years with Brad Nessler, a

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 4>lot of them with Vern. He likes both of them.

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 4>So he likes to talk, which you never really Yeah,

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 4>at least I didn't. You know, maybe he was different

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 4>with Todd or Kirk, but with me. I never. I

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 4>just didn't feel that that was me to go, you know,

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.599
<v Speaker 4>what's your trick plays this week. It's just not that

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 4>how I approached it. I think you had to read

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 4>between the lines of what he was saying and how

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 4>excited he was about his team, and that worked best

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 4>for me.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Who would you recommend to replace Nick soon? Well?

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 4>I think the names that are out there are all

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 4>good names, you know, I mean, you know, Dan Lanning

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 4>would be a really good normal would be a really

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 4>good choice. I mean, obviously, you know there's the connections

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 4>with Lane. Those all make sense to me. You know,

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.559
<v Speaker 4>the person that has to have a really strong personality

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 4>to go in there because obviously they're following, you know,

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 4>the greatest.

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 5>Ever.

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 4>It's not an easy job for anybody because you know

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 4>this the measurements at Ohio State or you know, when

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 4>we're talking about it's win them all, win them all,

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 4>it's not a great year. So you know, that's that's

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 4>one of the things I really talked about a lot

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 4>when I did Alabama games for all those years. Not

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 4>only did they have really good players, obviously they were

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 4>well coached, but they were clutch. They played clutch football

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 4>with the pressure on. They won a lot of games

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 4>when there were a lot of things going against them,

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 4>big LSU games. You know, the only really lost I

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 4>think one SEC championship game and that was the Florida

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 4>But I always gave him a lot of credit. You know,

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 4>he always talked to his players. You know, he's an

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 4>next quarterback. He always talked to his players that you know,

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 4>we got to be disciplined, but you got to let

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 4>it go. You gotta, you know, And I think they

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 4>bought into that, and I was always when I watched

0:12:55.679 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 4>them play, I really thought it's demanding. As Nick was

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 4>at practice, I think he was, of course, he was

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 4>fiery up the sidelines, but I think he was understanding

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 4>that in the game you got to play a little

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.839
<v Speaker 4>bit loose. Disciplined, yes, but a little bit loose, if

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 4>that makes any sense.

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Always great to talk to you. Back to your golf game.

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for joining us, Gary.

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate it. Ded, I'm thirteenth old. I've already hit two

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 4>all of them. Been talking to him nice and smooth.

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate it. Thanks for calling.

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank buddy.

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>That's Gary Daniels in a long time voice analyst SEC

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>on CBS. A couple of phone calls in here. Dean

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas, Hi Dean, what's on your mind today? Hey Dean,

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Dean.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Doug in North Carolina, Hi Doug, what's on your mind?

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 6>Well, Dan, I'm having a battle between my inner child

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 6>and my educated adult that I've become in front of me.

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 6>I have the numbers for Bear Bryant and Nick Saban

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 6>Gerry Daniel Danielson just called Saban the best ever. Both

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 6>of these guys won six national championships with Alabama Bear

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 6>was there longer, obviously, but Nick has a better winning percentage.

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 6>So my question is who's the best in Alabama history?

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I would say Nick Saban because Bear Bryant did

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>most of had most of his success without integration. I

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 1>think when USC played Alabama and Bear Bryant saw what

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Sam Dbam Cunningham was doing for USC, he decided that

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>he was going to recruit African Americans, and so I

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>would say that that has to play a little bit

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>of a role like eateolfh Rupp as well at Kentucky.

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>But I would say Nick Saban to do what he's

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>doing today. You know, it's like John Wooden. John wouldn't

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be John Wooden today. He's still a great coach,

0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>but he wouldn't have ten titles in twelve years. Red

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Hrbach wouldn't have that with the Boston Celtics. It just

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>but they did it when they did it against the

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>competition that you know they were playing.

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know things have changed.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>More teams, better teams, better athletes, better coaches, and more money.

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what else do we have here? Jesse and Colorado. Hey, Jess,

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today?

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I had a question for you guys. Thanks for

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 8>taking my call. But I know his previous stints as

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 8>a head coach weren't the greatest, But what are the

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 8>chances of McDaniel's taking over for the Patriots job.

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's a head coach. I mean I've

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>said that before, Jesse. I just there are certain guys

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>who were great at being a coordinator, and I think

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Josh McDaniels is one of those guys.

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Being a head coach is just different.

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>You got to be all things to all people, and

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you can't just be this is my little group here.

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>And we've seen that with Belichick's coaching tree. He had

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys who were really good at one thing,

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but being a head coach it is difficult. Bill Belichick's

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>personality is that of a defensive coordinator, not as a

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>head coach. But he gets away with it. He got

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>away with it because they were successful. But I don't

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe they hire Josh McDaniels.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>That wouldn't be my choice. Mike Rabel would be my choice.

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Or drawd Mayo if you want to promote from within.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>This guy coming up next, Tom pelserro the NFL Network

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>will join us. He'll have some thoughts on that, And

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 1>what's this mean for the coaching carousel that Rabel's now

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.119
<v Speaker 1>available and Pete Carroll is available.

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many.

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Teams are gonna like if you're in a rebuild and

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Pete Carroll at seventy two. I just don't know if

0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>teams are going to do that. But we'll talk to

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and get his thoughts on that. Coming up next Dan

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Show. Be sure to catch the live edition of

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.960

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 9>be good at it because you've been over promising women

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 9>for years.

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 5>Well it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 5>want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 5>be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 5>life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 5>about something or we didn't have enough time, it will

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 5>continue on our after show called over Promised.

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.160
<v Speaker 9>Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make

0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 9>sure you check out over Promise and also Uncensored, by

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 9>the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 9>little harder. It's going to be the best after show

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 9>podcast of all time.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 5>There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 5>but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with Cadino and

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 5>Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 5>get your podcasts.

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll talk to Tom Pelco, NFL network insider,

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>get his thoughts on this coaching carousel that got a

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of new participants yesterday with Bill Belichick. We expected

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and Pete Carroll was a little bit of a surprise.

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike Rabel maybe a little bit of a surprise as well.

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 1>But we'll talk to Tom coming up here in a moment.

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me get another phone call in here Billy and Nashville.

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Hi, Billy, Hey Dan, Hey guys, how's it going on? Great?

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 10>I know Belichick wants to coach, and he'll be good

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 10>anywhere he goes. But this is a chance for the

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 10>NFL to fix their coaching problem. I'm sorry they're officiating problem,

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 10>because who better than Bill Belichick who become the guy

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 10>who trains and certifies NFL officiating.

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Cruisey, that sounds like a miserable job. Though Billy Belichick

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 1>still wants to coach, he wants to surpass Don Shula's

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>all time record. The question is, and according to DraftKings,

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the best odds right now, the top odds for where

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Bill Belichick will coach Week one the LA Chargers. Man,

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I just don't see it. It just feels like that's

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Harbaugh going back West Coast. Then it's the Falcons. I

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if I see that Commanders. And then

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the fourth best odds are not a head coach of

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 1>any NFL team?

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Paul? Could the Falcons bring in the guy who

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.479
<v Speaker 2>did what he did to I know that's what I

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 2>was thinking.

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna say the phrase.

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Twenty eighty three.

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Tom Pelsero, NFL Network insider. He's been busy. You can,

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.160
<v Speaker 1>by the way, you can see the Dolphins chief Saturday

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>at eight eastern exclusively on Peacock as we make way

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>for Tom right, let's start with Belichick here. He does

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.679
<v Speaker 1>want to coach, Where do you think is the best

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>fit for Bill Belichick?

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 11>I would tell you this, Dan, with Bill Belichick, He's

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 11>been aware for months that potentially things would be coming

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 11>to an end in New England, and so without you know,

0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 11>making a lot of direct contact teams, he's back channeled

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.479
<v Speaker 11>things and gotten a pretty good understanding of, you know,

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 11>what potentially his options might be. I would tell you

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 11>there's been a lot of discussion about the Atlanta Falcons.

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 11>I would say that is one possibility, But there are

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 11>also possibilities that there are teams that maybe are still

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 11>in the playoffs, teams that do employ head coaches, maybe

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 11>teams that weren't thinking about making a change, but for

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 11>the availability of arguably the greatest coach in NFL history

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.880
<v Speaker 11>suddenly coming to the forefront here. In other words, if

0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 11>you're any team that feels like, you know, we've got

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 11>a good coach, but we may not have a great coach,

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 11>why would you not have a conversation right now about

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 11>Bill Belichick. You know, there's delicate pieces of this. There

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 11>are rules regarding interview processes and whatnot. I think that

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.720
<v Speaker 11>for Bill Belichick it always made sense, even though we're

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.200
<v Speaker 11>going to get a press conference today and this has

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 11>been finalized to Bill Belichick and the Patriots or partying ways,

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.920
<v Speaker 11>it has always made sense for Bill Belichick to wait

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 11>and see what happens in the first, maybe even the

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 11>second round of the playoffs and see maybe where there's

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 11>some other teams that are a little further along that

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 11>may not be as much of a build for him,

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 11>that might end up potentially becoming options.

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, are we hinting at the Cowboys here, Tom, We're

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 1>hinting at any team that might believe, after you get

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.119
<v Speaker 1>into the playoffs here that maybe you could upgrade of

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:49.959
<v Speaker 1>going to Bill Belichick.

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 11>Listen, it's got to be a pretty specific type of team,

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 11>right And that's on multiple fronts. Bill Belichick is not

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:58.439
<v Speaker 11>going to take over a total rebuild. He's seventy two

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 11>years old. As much as he's done that in a

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 11>place like New England that was a quarter century ago,

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 11>Bill Belichick is not sitting there going all right, I

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 11>got five years to build something elsewhere. If he's going

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.920
<v Speaker 11>to go, he's got to think we've got enough pieces

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:13.919
<v Speaker 11>on the roster that I can get this thing rolling

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 11>and get it rolling quickly. It's also got to be

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 11>the right ownership, the right structure. If you've got a

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.719
<v Speaker 11>team that has a hyper involved owner, or you've got

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.159
<v Speaker 11>a team that is going to put in place layers

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:29.120
<v Speaker 11>of other people above Bill, people that can tell Bill

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.399
<v Speaker 11>how to do his job. That's not really going to

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 11>be a fit for him either. For instance, I know

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 11>that there's been a lot of rumors in speculation about

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 11>the Washington Commanders. I do not see that being a

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.880
<v Speaker 11>fit for Bill Belichick. For all the reasons I just mentioned.

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 11>They're going to hire a president of football operations. They

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 11>do have a little bit further to go on the roster,

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 11>even though they got a lot of capital to do it.

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.200
<v Speaker 11>In place like Atlanta that's got a much improved defense

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 11>that's invested on that side of the ball, that does

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 11>have players at the skill spots, they still need a quarterback.

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 11>That's a lot further along here. And again, there's some

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 11>places right now that have head coaches in place that

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 11>may be based upon upcoming results or maybe how the

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 11>season ended, might be willing to make a change, but

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:11.400
<v Speaker 11>only if they can get a guy like a Bill

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 11>Belichick and take your shot for the next two three years,

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 11>whatever that timeline might be.

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:17.440
<v Speaker 2>What did the Patriots do.

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.639
<v Speaker 11>The Patriots? I would anticipate running a very targeted search.

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 11>They're not gonna just, you know, put out ten to

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.400
<v Speaker 11>twelve requests for all these different people. They're gonna start

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 11>by looking within the family. So who is that you

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 11>got your Od Mayo? Who's an in house option on

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 11>the coaching staff. I would certainly not say that by

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 11>any stretch that's a slam. Donc that Garrod Mayo gets

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:43.160
<v Speaker 11>that job. There's other coaches out there, Mike Vrabel being

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 11>chief among them. I mean, a couple of months ago,

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 11>he's sitting in Robert Kraft's suite and saying, we got

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 11>a game to win today and maybe taking a veiled

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.639
<v Speaker 11>shot at his current employer at the time by saying, Hey, fans,

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 11>enjoy this because it's not like this everywhere. Mike Vrabel

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 11>has a long history in that organization, including being a

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:04.160
<v Speaker 11>player there. It's certainly is a consideration, So it would

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 11>be a Brian Flores, who's now the Vikings defensive coordinator.

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 11>He won a Super Bowl with Bill Belichick as the

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 11>DC in New England. I think that you're going to

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 11>look at all those types of guys because they know

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 11>how that building functions. Dan New England is not like

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:20.640
<v Speaker 11>any place else because of the unilateral power that Bill

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 11>Belichick has had for so long in that building. They're

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 11>going to need a general manager too. They're going to

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 11>need to build out their operational staff. They're going to

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:29.640
<v Speaker 11>be need to build out a lot of different things

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:32.679
<v Speaker 11>because there's nobody even the guys who have been there before,

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.840
<v Speaker 11>that are going to take on as much as Bill

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 11>Belichick did. And I think that when you trace through

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.640
<v Speaker 11>why ultimately here Bill Belichick and Robert Craft are going

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:46.199
<v Speaker 11>separate directions, it's not simply four and thirteen this season.

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 11>It's about how certain things have eroded over the course

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 11>of time in New England. When you look at their

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 11>coaching staff, when you look at the front office staff,

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 11>they've got good people on both fronts, but it's not

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 11>the same people. Look at how many people have gotten

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 11>coaching jobs or GM jobs and have left the basically

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 11>a brain drain that they've had over the course of

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 11>time here. You know, there are a lot of discussions

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 11>among Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft, especially on Monday. They

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 11>meant for hours on that day, talked through every scenario,

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 11>including scenarios where Bill Belichick would come back. But Belichick

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 11>said himself what he met with reporters Monday morning, we

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.159
<v Speaker 11>got to get some things fixed. Robert Craft had his

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 11>ideas of how you're going to fix that. Bill Belichick

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:29.479
<v Speaker 11>had his own ideas on how to fix that. You

0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 11>have seen an erosion of Bill Belichick's authority to a

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 11>certain degree in recent years, versus last year when Robert

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 11>Kraft put out a rare press release saying, hey, we're

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 11>going to keep girodd Mail, We're bringing in Bill Bill

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 11>O'Brien as the offensive coordinator. New England has never done

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 11>things like that, and so for Belichick, he was going

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 11>to want to make certain changes in terms of the

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 11>people as much as anything. So is Robert Kraft. They

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 11>weren't quite on the same page. Everybody's going to go

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 11>their own directions.

0:25:55.119 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Tom pelserro NFL Network insider Jim Harbaugh, how close do

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you think this is to a real possibility that he

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 1>goes to the NFL.

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 11>I believe it's a real possibility, Dan, and I believe

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 11>it's been a real possibility in Jim Harbaugh's mind for

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 11>a couple of years now. You know, you trace it

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 11>back to two years ago when he interviewed in person

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:20.359
<v Speaker 11>with the Vikings on National Signing Day. That's how serious

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:23.959
<v Speaker 11>Jim Harbaugh was about the possibility of going to the NFL.

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.800
<v Speaker 11>Was that partly to tweak an administration that had just

0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 11>forced him to take a pay cut the year before

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.719
<v Speaker 11>coming off COVID who's the set? But he was very

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 11>serious about that job, to the point that he did

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 11>at zoom with the Vikings and then when in in

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.080
<v Speaker 11>person and did, like I want to say, it was

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 11>a seven hour interview with them. They ultimately, based on

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 11>the results of the interviews as well as just kind

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 11>of the fit, they decided to go with Kevin O'Connell.

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 11>That's been a really good hire for them. Last year

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 11>with Denver Harbad did a zoom with the Broncos. They

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 11>wanted to get him in for an in person interview.

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 11>And this is not a direct quote from Harbaugh, but

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.440
<v Speaker 11>the sense on his end was, I'm Jim Harbaugh how

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 11>many interviews do I have to do? You know exactly

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 11>who I am as a coach. Just hire me if

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 11>you want to. The Penners actually flew and visited Harbaugh

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.120
<v Speaker 11>in Ann Arbor to try to get him to reconsider

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.120
<v Speaker 11>that one just didn't line up this time around.

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Harbaugh.

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.359
<v Speaker 11>I can tell you this. Dan has been refreshing his

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 11>staff lists, He's had conversations with people, He's been evaluating

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 11>the openings. He also coming off of the greatest feat

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 11>of his coaching career when in a national title at

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 11>his alma mater. He heads in the clouds still a

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 11>little bit here. Over the last couple of days, I

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 11>would anticipate we will find out fairly soon how serious

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 11>Jim Harbaugh is and whether there's a place that's lined

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 11>up for him to go in the NFL. It's a

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 11>lot like I talked about Bill Belichick and how you

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 11>need to have the personnel and the structure of the

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 11>organization line up for him to want to take that job.

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 11>It's a similar type of thing with Jim Harbaugh. Everybody's

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.440
<v Speaker 11>going to draw the arrows to the LA Chargers. They

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:58.000
<v Speaker 11>absolutely are exploring this, and from Harbaugh's perspective, there's a

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 11>lot to like, and it begins with Justin Herbert. The

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.360
<v Speaker 11>Chargers also are a family owned and run business. John

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 11>Spanos oversees the football operation. Another one of Dean spans

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:10.639
<v Speaker 11>the Sun's overseas the business operation. Is that going to

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:12.639
<v Speaker 11>be a fit for what they want to do and

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 11>what Jim Harbaugh wants to do. There are some fascinating

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 11>discussions to be had if they go down that path.

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 11>The Raiders makes a lot of sense to with Jim

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 11>Harbaugh and Mark Davis be a fit. We'll see. There's

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 11>other jobs out there that potentially Harbaugh could be connected

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 11>to as well. But for me, I would say, if

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 11>Jim Harbaugh is going to take one of these things

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 11>in this cycle, La and Las Vegas would be the

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 11>two to watch.

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>The Seattle opening, How attractive is that and who do

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you think they're going to target?

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 11>I believe it's a really attractive job opening in Seattle

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 11>because they've gotten so much younger. They really flip that

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 11>thing over the last few years here. You look at

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 11>the talent that they've amassed at the skill spots, the

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 11>young talent that they've masked on defense. Dan they went

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 11>into last season making moves like they thought they could

0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 11>win a Super Bowl right now. They brought back Bobby

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 11>Wack and paid him a bunch of money. They made

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 11>a trade deadline trade for Leonard Williams, which gave up

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 11>future draft picks. You don't do that if you're not expecting, hey,

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 11>we're in it to win it right now. They end

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 11>up nine to eight, they missed the playoffs. I think

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 11>it's fair to say they felt like this was a

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 11>team that underachieved to a certain degree. Fourteen years is

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 11>a long time for anybody to have one job in

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 11>the NFL. Pete Carroll said yesterday he thought he as

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:28.240
<v Speaker 11>Pete always says, he competed to be the coach, but

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 11>Jody Allen, the Seahawks chair, her mind was made up

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.360
<v Speaker 11>based on the total evaluation here they're going to look.

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 11>I think it's an oversimplification to say, well, dan Quinn's

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 11>just going to come in. He's been there before. Dan

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:42.840
<v Speaker 11>Quinn's going to have other options. He's a real candidate

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 11>in Tennessee, he's a real candidate in a place like Washington.

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 11>He's got slips from a couple of other teams as well.

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 11>Dan Quinn potentially is going to have options here once

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 11>we get to the point that dan Quin can actually

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 11>talk with other teams, and so for Seattle, I anticipate

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 11>you're going to see them put in Lis and all

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 11>likely in the coming days here for some of the

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 11>young offensive coaches, because with Pete Carroll, you know, they've

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 11>had good offenses at times through the years, but Pete's

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 11>foundation is defense, don't turn it over. We're going to

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 11>win the way that we have to. We have to

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 11>cut you loose Russe Wilson, Gino Smith in the fourth quarter.

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 11>We're going to do that. I think it's gonna be

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 11>somebody who probably fits, you know, in broad swaths the

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 11>culture that they've built here. Not that you're going to

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 11>do everything the same as Pete, which is why it

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 11>doesn't necessarily have to be dan Quinn. But I think

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 11>like that culture of positivity and competition is going to

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 11>be a big deal for them. They'll run a broad

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 11>search here and I'll be interested to see where that lands.

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 1>But it feels like Pete still wants to coach at

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>seventy two. Is he as attractive as Bill Belichick?

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 11>I think that if Pete Carroll wants to coach, and

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 11>he said it in his press conference after the game

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.520
<v Speaker 11>as well as yesterday that he doesn't feel worn out,

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 11>he feels refreshed. He said he's freaking jacked again to

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:57.800
<v Speaker 11>use another Pete carrollsm about what comes next here. Absolutely,

0:30:57.880 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 11>I mean there are teams that are going to evalue

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 11>wait this, and I can tell you are evaluating this

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 11>with Pete. I mean there's a couple of teams that

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 11>would make sense. The Atlanta Falcons would make sense. I

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 11>don't know that Pete is moving across the country to

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 11>do that at this point, but there's always been an

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 11>attraction for Arthur Blank to bringing in a guy like

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 11>a Pete Carroll. I mean, he hired Dan Quinn years

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 11>ago out of that same program. The Chargers are also

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 11>a possibility in terms of at least evaluating this opportunity.

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 11>Can you imagine Pete Carroll going back to LA to

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 11>take one more shot and he's got Justin Herbert a

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 11>quarterback and a veteran defense. Again, these are all hypotheticals

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 11>at this point. The Chargers our team that is going

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 11>to interview a ton of people for this job. But

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 11>I would absolutely not rule out Pete Carroll coaching in

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 11>the NFL again, potentially even in twenty twenty four.

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave you with this. I'm trying to understand what

0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the Bears are doing. You keep Matt Eberflus, but you

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>fire the offensive coordinator in the quarterbacks coach, which now

0:31:57.320 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 1>leads me to believe they move on from justin field.

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Why would you take that job if you're an offensive coordinator,

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're not even sure if Matt Eberflus is going

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to be extended. So do the Bears extend their head

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 1>coach so you get some stability for an offensive coordinator

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and or quarterbacks coach who's going to go in there?

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And does that lead you to believe the same thing

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to take somebody number one overall at quarterback.

0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 11>I don't foresee a contract extension for Matt Eberflus at

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 11>this point just because he's two years in. Most teams

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 11>don't do new deals two years in unless you've gone

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 11>to the Super Bowl. The Bears played better the second

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 11>half of last season down the stretch, and that really

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 11>made the case for Matt Eberflus to stick around. You know,

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 11>you look at the numbers on their offense. They weren't horrible.

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 11>I mean, they ended up number two in rushing, even

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 11>though they didn't even have Justin Fields for a chunk

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 11>of games. I mean, they're playing with a Division two

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 11>undrafted quarterback, Tyson Bagen, and they're winning some of those games.

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 11>They were top ten most of the season and third

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.680
<v Speaker 11>downs in red zone, so this was not a completely

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 11>broken offense by any stretch. I think that my instincts

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 11>are the same as yours, Dan, which is there's probably

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 11>a possibility this would signal that you are bringing in

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 11>a new quarterback and you're going to gear a new

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 11>offense around him. But the Bears at this point are

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 11>not going to cut off any of their options in

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 11>terms of potentially keeping Justin Fields, although he's also at

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 11>a point where if you're going to commit to him,

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 11>you'd be thinking about a contract extension for him sooner

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 11>than later. Bears are in a really unique spot. Ryan

0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 11>Poles said as much yesterday, where you're sitting on the

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 11>number one pick and the number nine pick, and you

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 11>have a quarterback who, even though it's never been consistent

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 11>with Justin Fields, which is the biggest fault there and

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 11>the biggest reason you might move on, you've also seen

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 11>him at times do some pretty cool stuff on the field,

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 11>So a lot of different directions that could go. They

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 11>immediately put in a request yesterday, Dan hours after the

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 11>Pete Carroll decision for Shade Waldron, who's been the offensive

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 11>coordinator in Seattle and had Gino Smith playing at a

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 11>really high level. Is it the most attractive job in

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.120
<v Speaker 11>the NFL? For all the reasons you just said. There

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 11>certainly is gonna be trepidation among some coaches of hey,

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 11>am I walking into a one year situation and then

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 11>we're all going to be in trouble here. But whether

0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 11>you're talking about justin fields or you know, just as

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:14.800
<v Speaker 11>a lore and probably more so Caleb Williams a potential

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 11>number one pick coming in he hasn't declared for the

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:18.920
<v Speaker 11>draft yet, still could be Drake May. A lot of

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 11>ways this could go. Let's be honest, Caleb Williams is

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 11>the one that everybody in the league is going to

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 11>be talking about, and somebody, quite possibly, whether it's the

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 11>Bears or otherwise, is going to end up in that

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 11>number one spot.

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:28.359
<v Speaker 4>Taken.

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I lied, I have one more. What's the wildest rumor

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you've heard? Not report? Do you have any wild rumors?

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 11>I mean, haven't reality been more fun than rumor right

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 11>now is Beryl is out in Seattle, Bill Belichick is

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.800
<v Speaker 11>out in New England. I mean, listen, there's always rumors about,

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:53.240
<v Speaker 11>you know what potentially could happen with a Mike Tomlin.

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 11>He's got one year left on his contract. Usually the

0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 11>Steelers do extensions earlier than that. They didn't in this case.

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 11>Could he, you know, potend walk with their They'd absolutely

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:04.400
<v Speaker 11>be interested with other teams. I think that's something you

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 11>know to keep in mind here. I mean, there's there's

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:08.879
<v Speaker 11>so much stuff we have a coaching think about this, Dan,

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.080
<v Speaker 11>just like thirty thousand foot view this for a second.

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:13.440
<v Speaker 11>We have an NFL coaching cycle right now where we're

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.880
<v Speaker 11>talking about possible candidates Jim Harbaugh, Mike Rabel, Bill Belichick,

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.879
<v Speaker 11>Pete Carroll. That's a really that's a real thing that's

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 11>happening right now in twenty twenty four. And when you

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 11>look at the young, the young candidates for some of

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 11>these jobs, there's certainly a lot of talented young coaches.

0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 11>But outside of Ben Johnson, maybe a Brian Callahan, maybe

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 11>an Aaron Glenn, there's not a whole lot of coaches

0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 11>that you say, right now Okay, opening shot. This guy's

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:39.799
<v Speaker 11>going to get a job and he's ready to go.

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 11>It's going to be an absolutely fascinating a few weeks

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:44.040
<v Speaker 11>in the hiring cycle.

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:44.759
<v Speaker 1>And oh yeah.

0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:47.040
<v Speaker 11>Pour on top of that, the fact that we've got

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 11>unique rules now for the first time where you can't

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 11>do in person interviews with people who are currently employed

0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 11>by NFL teams until January twenty second, after the divisional

0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:58.920
<v Speaker 11>playoff games. You know who's not subject to those rules,

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:05.360
<v Speaker 11>Bill Bellich, Check, Jim Harbaugh. Those guys are and Pete Carrol,

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:07.839
<v Speaker 11>all those guys. It's a different type of a deal

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 11>because if they end up getting released from their contracts,

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.040
<v Speaker 11>which is a technical thing we can deal with later,

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:14.840
<v Speaker 11>they're available to interview right now and they'll be fascinat

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:15.760
<v Speaker 11>to see where it all goes.

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Tom, you got it.

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:19.480

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Network Insider, there are a couple of teams if they

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 1>would bow out in their first playoff game, you get

0:36:55.600 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the feeling that maybe management might go, Hm, we can

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:02.600
<v Speaker 1>kick this guy to the curb and we can bring

0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>in somebody who's a proven successful coach Dallas, even though

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy does have a really good track record. But

0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:15.839
<v Speaker 1>if Jerry Jones is attracted to shiny things, and Bill

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Belichick is a shiny thing, if you're Buffalo, if Buffalo

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:25.759
<v Speaker 1>bounds out as the number two seed, would they move

0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 1>on from Sean McDermott. Would that be a place that's

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.240
<v Speaker 1>attractive to Bill Belichick. You stay in the NFC East,

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you get to haunt New England. You got your franchise quarterback.

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:41.440
<v Speaker 1>They have some pretty good defensive players Stefan Diggs. They

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 1>have a little bit more of a running game with Cook.

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Just you know, you have to think like an owner thinks.

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Because I can't see Bill going to Carolina and going,

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, this team isn't any good. And I

0:37:56.800 --> 0:38:01.080
<v Speaker 1>got this owner who wants you know, results right away, Washington.

0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I only thought for the location that he grew up

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:07.160
<v Speaker 1>in Annapolis, and you have the second pick in the draft,

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you have new ownership there in a great fan base.

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But Tom Tellicero said he didn't see that happening Belichick

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 1>on the West Coast.

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.359
<v Speaker 2>I just I don't know. For some reason, I just

0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 2>don't see that.

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's gonna have flip flops and shorts and uh,

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 1>he's he's gonna be like the older Sean McVay.

0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't.

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I could see where if a

0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:35.760
<v Speaker 1>team bows out sooner like Philadelphia is in a weird

0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:41.120
<v Speaker 1>situation like man, oh man, Nick Siriani has cooled off.

0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:45.680
<v Speaker 1>It's frosty, and if you happen to lose to Tampa

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Bay Man, uh get a couple of phone calls in here.

0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh let me see, is this uh Topeka in Tampa?

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Dan, Yes it is.

0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:04.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh, okay, thanks thanks for taking my call.

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Second time, long time five.

0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:11.720
<v Speaker 4>I just wanted to call to say happy birthday to Jarrett,

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 4>my boyfriend, and I also.

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 6>Wanted to say I don't know what's going on with

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 6>the Bears, but good luck.

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 4>To Justin Field no matter what, so go Bears.

0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 12>Happy birthday, Jarrett all right, there you go, Topeka calling

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:28.360

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 12>to say to your boyfriend, happy birthday.

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, DoD, where's that caller from Kansas?

<v Speaker 1>you to Hay nice Joe and Cincinnati.

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 7>Hi Joe, Hey DP six foot even two hundred, thank

0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 7>you calling because of your color. Last color. About baby

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:55.279
<v Speaker 7>on a plane situation, we got a story wife and

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 7>I decided that the oldest at the time was able

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 7>to fly. So sitting waiting for the plane to board

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 7>from Cincinnati to Florida, My man, he's not taking his

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 7>neck time. He's getting off. We can feel it. And

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.719
<v Speaker 7>we get on the plane, you know, new parents, and

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.880
<v Speaker 7>he's screaming the whole time, won't stop. So we're bouncing him.

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 7>We're walking up and down the aisles, doing everything we can,

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:22.080
<v Speaker 7>steeling all the eyes on us, you know, anyway, doesn't

0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:24.560
<v Speaker 7>he screams the whole time. Get there, Get to where

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:27.360
<v Speaker 7>we're going. I put a twelve pack next to the

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 7>pool and I sit there and a fellow with the

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 7>Bengals tattoo comes strolling down and I say, oh, hey,

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 7>Bengals Cincinnati. Oh you know, cool fun vacation. Listen to

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:37.799

0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:39.800
<v Speaker 7>flates you take? And he looked at me and said yours.

0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:44.840
<v Speaker 7>We shared that twelve back after that my beer with

0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 7>his beer that day.

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you, Joe Man.

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:51.640
<v Speaker 1>When you walk on a plane with kids who people

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>are either looking right at you or they're looking away

0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 1>on purpose, they're praying you're not sitting next to them.

0:40:59.280 --> 0:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 3>That was one of the biggest like changes about life

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 3>or something that I learned after having a child is

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.720
<v Speaker 3>that as soon as you walk on with a child,

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:14.560
<v Speaker 3>everybody goes, oh no, and then they start looking at you, well,

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 3>avoiding eye contact, but watching where you're going.

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Please don't sit next to me. Please don't sit next

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:20.359
<v Speaker 2>to me. Please don't sit next to me. Please don't

0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:20.880
<v Speaker 2>sit next me.

0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 13>Yes, And there's a level of empathy once you have kids,

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 13>because when they're crying, like you're sitting here, Hey bleep,

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:31.879
<v Speaker 13>I don't want him crying either. Well, I don't want

0:41:31.880 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 13>her crying either. You think I want this baby crying?

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:35.320
<v Speaker 13>You bleep?

0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Wow? Am I so angry?

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Now You're like, hey, we're all with you, pal, don't

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:41.600

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right about that.

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:49.839

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you see a baby it's crying, or you see the parents,

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, you just want to say, hey it,

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you'll get through it.

0:41:57.760 --> 0:41:58.719
