1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Our one on this Thursday, Dan and the dan Ne's

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. We got a lot to unpack here. Certainly,

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: what happened yesterday in Buffalo news conference was going on

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: while we were doing the show, and then all of

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: a sudden we start to hear things, read things, and

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: we thought, well, there's a whole lot more attached to this,

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: and we'll discuss that throughout the three hours on the

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: program eight seven seven to three DP show. That's our

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: phone number, Operator Tyler sitting by. Good morning, if you're

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: watching on Peacock or you're listening on our radio affiliates

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: around the country. Have a play of the day, poll question,

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. Also, we

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: will revisit Kobe's eighty one point performance twenty years ago

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: today against the Toronto Raptors, and a couple of the

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors involved in that game, we'll share their comments

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: on Kobe, and we'll bring back what Kobe told me

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago when I asked him to

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: pick the game that he played in when he scored

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: sixty or the eighty one point game. He'll give you

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: his thoughts on what game was more important. All right, Seaton,

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: you got a pull question to start out this Thursday morning.

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: Well, I'm trying to craft one based off of the

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: Buffalo press conference.

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: All right.

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 5: I mean, do we keep it as simple as should

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 5: owners speak yes or no?

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: I loved it. Once again, I'm not a Buffalo Bill's fan.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: I certainly empathize with them of what happened. They lose

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: again in heartbreaking fashion, and the owner gets there with

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: the GM and all of a sudden back and forth

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: and it became good content, is what it did. But

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: owners should not get in front of the media, at

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: least I wouldn't recommend it. But if you're not really

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: a football guy, you know, you're a billionaire and you

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: made your money elsewhere, you get in front of the media.

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: And normally billionaires don't get in front of the media.

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: They are probably wisely told not to do that because

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: reporters can be pretty sharp hearing something, seeing something, saying something,

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you're going to And

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: it felt like we had a little bit of that yesterday.

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm still surprised that the owner, Terry Pegoula, said that

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: it was his decision to bring in a new coach

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: based on the results of the game in Denver. It

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: just feels like that's where you need to take a

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: couple of days, maybe even a week. Let's just let

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: it die down. Yes, heartbreaking. You saw Josh Allen crying

49
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: in the locker room, and the owner said, hey, I'm

50
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: kind of basing this off that too. I'm reading the room.

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: You know, did we hit the wall? Okay? But it

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: just felt strange with that owner and his reasoning. Here

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: is the Buffalo Bill's owner.

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 6: I did not coach based on a bad officiating decision.

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 6: If I can take you into that locker room, I

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 6: felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall. Year after

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 6: year of thirteen seconds, miss field goals, the catch. I

58
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 6: just sensed in that locker room, like, where do we

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 6: go from here?

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: Okay, but what does Sean McDermott have to do with

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: that missed field goals the catch? I just felt like

62
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: he got all the blame. Josh Allen deserves the blame

63
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: at least in this game. Josh Allen plays like Josh Allen,

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: We're not having this discussion. The owner did say he

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: was asked about what if you won that game, and

66
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: he said, well, I don't deal in hypotheticals, which is interesting,

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: But you know, Josh Allen didn't play. Well, that's why

68
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: they lost, not a catch an interception. It was more

69
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: than that. But am I going to put that at

70
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: the feet of Sean McDermott. That's where I think it's

71
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: unfair if you don't think that he's a big time

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: coach and he can't get you to the next level. Okay,

73
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: but don't base it off one game. That feels like

74
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: you're reacting and you're not really letting this sit and

75
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: set in a little bit. Let's just gather here. Did

76
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott get a chance to fight for his job

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: after that game? Did he get an audience with the

78
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: owner to say, hey, we're really close. Who put the

79
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: roster together? They had a lot of injuries. Everybody has injuries.

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it just felt like it was a blame

81
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: game and they weren't really blaming the right people here.

82
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: And then you got into this silly Keon Coleman's conversation there.

83
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: I mean, here is the question. It's not even about

84
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman, the wide receiver out of floor or to state.

85
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: Now here's the question and the answer. By Brandon being

86
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: the GM.

87
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 7: How do you answer the fact that you're given Josh,

88
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 7: I'm good enough wide receiver?

89
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I interrupt. I'll address the Keon situation.

90
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 6: The coaching staff pushed to draft Kon. I'm not saying

91
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 6: Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice.

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 6: That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice

93
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 6: of his coaching staff.

94
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: Who felt strongly about the player.

95
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 6: And he's taken, for some reason, heat over it and

96
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 6: not saying a word about it.

97
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: But I'm here to tell you the true story. Okay,

98
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: what are you doing? What are you doing? It's not

99
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: like the guy's an next player. Cam Coleman's still on

100
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: the roster and he was a team player. You're the GM.

101
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: Do you want him or don't you? And if you

102
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: don't want him, you don't go. I'm gonna be a

103
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: team player. This should be on you. And yes, Keon Coleman,

104
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: what was his second round pick? Everybody loved Keon Coleman,

105
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: Remember the interview that he had and like, oh, they're

106
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: falling in love with this guy and his personality. Now

107
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, are we gonna name the coaches

108
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: who wanted Keon Coleman because Brandon Bean didn't. I get

109
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: just a weird And then the owner says, can I interrupt?

110
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: Uh no, you can't. I mean come on, yeah, see yeah.

111
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: The problem one of.

112
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: The problems with this of the many is that in

113
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: modern day, teams all have media departments, and media departments

114
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: for the teams basically make many documentaries out of every

115
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: single draft pick that the team makes. And it took

116
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: the Internet about two point five seconds to pull up

117
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: Brandon Bean's mini documentary on drafting Keon Coleman, including all

118
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: of his you know, day of being like, hey, look,

119
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: if our guy is there tomorrow.

120
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 5: We're getting Keon Coleman.

121
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we.

122
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 5: Doing with the draft pick?

123
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: Unless somebody offers us something crazy, We're getting Keon Coleman.

124
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: That's who we want. And it's Brandon Bean saying that, well,

125
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: he was just being a team player, like, man, all

126
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: of a sudden, this isn't a desirable job, man, It

127
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: just like that's that would scare me. Now, if you

128
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: haven't been a head coach, you get the opportunity to

129
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: coach in that great city and with that quarterback. Okay,

130
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: but if you said I could have Baltimore or Buffalo,

131
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm taking Baltimore. I trust Baltimore's front office ownership. But man,

132
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're like, wait a minute here,

133
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: I want to walk into that where the former GM

134
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: who just got promoted, but he's still going to be

135
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: the GM has the year of the owner. If I'm

136
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: the coach and you saw this with John Harbaugh, they

137
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: already have their GM in place, Joe Shane, John Harball.

138
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: Let you know John Harball is going to talk to

139
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: the owner because if you have that GM, chances are

140
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: the GM is spending a whole lot more time with

141
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: the owner then you will be and he'll have his ear.

142
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, Paulie, going back to that cut from the owner

143
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 8: of the Bills. I saw that printed out yesterday when

144
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 8: the Bills media is tweeting it out. It's way worse

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 8: when you hear the audio. He's not misquoted, he's not loose.

146
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 8: He directly says we really didn't want this guy, and

147
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 8: the coaches pushed for it. Now, Keon Coleman has to

148
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 8: wear that going forward OTAs if he doesn't start next year.

149
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 8: Josh Allen has to answer.

150
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: For it, okay, And what happens when Josh Allen surfaces,

151
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: what's your first question? Did you want Sean McDermott fire?

152
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: Did ownership ask you about Sean McDermott. It's ke Coleman

153
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: the reason. What do you think of Keon Coleman? Oh? Good, grease,

154
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: I mean, thank you, thank you? Terry.

155
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: Can I interrupt for a second?

156
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh cra oh craf. How silly is that? Also

157
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: when he says, let me take you into the locker room, okay, Like, oh, now,

158
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: when you say that, that's a trick. You know sometimes

159
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: that you'll get coaches say or GM's or owner and

160
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: let me take you in the locker room. And all

161
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: of a sudden you're like, oh, let me sit up

162
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: in my chair here, what you're going to take us

163
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: in the locker room? I want to know what happened

164
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: in the locker Like you're reading the locker room. Josh

165
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: Allen's crying. Okay, I'm gonna guess he probably cried in

166
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: the other playoff losses in his career. I'm guessing. So

167
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: what you see guys who are emotional, I'm guessing that

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: happens every year when Buffalo bows out. I get it

169
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 2: was just really strange and reactionary in the moment we lost,

170
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: we're firing him. Now, look for the last six weeks

171
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: I've said it felt like there was something there. That's why,

172
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: you know, I asked prior to the game, is he

173
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: coaching for his job? I didn't have any information other

174
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: than a sense that there was something going on, and

175
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: turns out there was, yeah, seton. I mean, if you

176
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: go back, though, I'm surprised that people are as surprised

177
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: as they are at Sean McDermott getting fired. But there

178
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: are plenty of lists going into the season, even starting

179
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: at the end of last season, coaches that are on

180
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: the hot seat. If it's a.

181
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: Top five, top seven, whatever, Sean McDermott is is on

182
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: a good portion of those.

183
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: If they had lost that game at home, then I

184
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: could see that you would consider firing Sean McDermott. Or

185
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: if they lost by two touchdowns, I mean it was

186
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: a coin toss.

187
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

188
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: I feel like you know, you had said before, did

189
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: he have the ability to defend himself or try to

190
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: get his job back. I feel like this season was

191
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: that this was his chance to defend himself.

192
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: First Hour brought to you by the great folks at

193
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: Dude Wipes. Switch to life changing extra large flushable Dude Wipes.

194
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: Dude Wipes available at Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude

195
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: Wipe's best clean pants down. All right, So the poll question,

196
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: are you going to be just straightforward with this?

197
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: I am as a matter of fact, Dan, Let me

198
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: ask you the poll question, should owners speak at sports

199
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,479
Speaker 3: press conferences?

200
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 5: Your options are no, hell no, absolutely not or sure?

201
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: I love it now. I don't want my owner speaking

202
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: and most owners don't speak. When do you think about it? Mean,

203
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones doesn't help his team when he speaks. He

204
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: doesn't help his coach when he speaks. He helps Jerry Jones.

205
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: When Jerry Jones speaks, Mark Cuban, I thought help the Mavericks.

206
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: I thought that he became a great cheerleader. But how

207
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: many other owners do you hear in all of sports?

208
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: Think about it? How many owners get in front of

209
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: a microphone because they're probably told not to. You know,

210
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: Robert Kraft, you know, fancies himself as you know, the

211
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: spokesperson for the NFL, Arthur Blank has done a little

212
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: bit of that. But you know, for the most part,

213
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't want my owners speaking now. Did I like it? Yeah?

214
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 2: It was it entertaining. I'm in the content business. I

215
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: hope they have a press conference today. Yeah, Pully.

216
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 8: I'll go on the other side of this a little bit.

217
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 8: I think owners should be required to do one press

218
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 8: conference a year, and the local reporters get to ask

219
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 8: them fifteen minutes, twenty minutes.

220
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: But you're saying required, Yeah, Terry Pagoula was not required

221
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: to be there exactly.

222
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 8: And I can imagine the PR staff of the Bills

223
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 8: wanting to manage him before it and not getting a

224
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 8: chance to.

225
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: This is now. No, this is a guy who has

226
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: all the answers. He's a billionaire. Who are you this

227
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: my you know, once you've been there thirteen years, owns

228
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: the sabers. I get it, I get it. But you know,

229
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who tell you what you

230
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: want to hear in the building, but this is different.

231
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: These are the reporters who want to know we just

232
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: fired Sean McDermott, who's probably one of the top five

233
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 2: coaches you know, how about top ten coaches in the

234
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: NFL before he got fired. Probably generally probably generally considered

235
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: top ten.

236
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm seeing a headline here from a Buffalo Bill's

237
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: like blog Buffalo Rumblings. Terry Bagool is first time taking

238
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: questions in more than five years.

239
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 5: Reinforces why he doesn't do that much.

240
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and Buffalo has such a great PR department.

241
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: I can only imagine they're going to go, oh god, whoa.

242
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 8: Where are you going, mister Bragola. I'm going up to

243
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 8: the podium.

244
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not sit in on this one.

245
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: You want to stay in your press box, you want

246
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: to I'm the owner. Let me get out in front

247
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: of this. Let me take this away. I got the answers,

248
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: I got it. Oh my goodness, Yeah, dear, Yeah, I

249
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: didn't think we would be talking about that, you know today.

250
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: I thought it would be just one of those exit Now,

251
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: granted that there was serious nature about attention attached to it.

252
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: But when the owner shows up, and I thought, Okay,

253
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: Randon Bean's going to be able to swat away these questions.

254
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: But when the owner gets there and he wants to

255
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: tell you how smart he is, and he wants to

256
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: promote his general manager, and this is all Sean McDermott

257
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: and I read the locker room, and I okay, So

258
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: that next coach who comes in, are you gonna let

259
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: him ease in? What if you bow out in the

260
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs? What if you don't make

261
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Does this turn off any coaching candidates? Because man,

262
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: you're only as good as the people above you. Success

263
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: starts from above all of these places. I want to

264
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: know who's your owner, who's your GM, How involved are they,

265
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: how smart are they? What's their resume? And yesterday didn't

266
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: give me a healthy dose of confidence if I'm moving

267
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: forward with this because now I know that GM who

268
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: got promoted has the owner's ear. And if you're a

269
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: coach going in there, it's two against one and all

270
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: of a sudden, hey, my GM didn't draft that wide

271
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: receiver who is still on the roster, and it was

272
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: he was a team player.

273
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, PAULI, the GM, Brandon Bean is conditioned to this.

274
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 8: He actually had looked it up. He went to college

275
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 8: for communications. Terry Pagoula went to college for a degree

276
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 8: in petroleum and natural gas engineering.

277
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: Not a lot of public speaking there, no no yes, Todd,

278
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: And if.

279
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 9: You don't refer to things like play calling or clock

280
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 9: management or something specific to the coach. It feels like

281
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 9: that's a situation where if you're putting it on the coach,

282
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 9: you've bet to cite something or you got to give

283
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 9: us something and just not say the locker room.

284
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: Look like they just hit a wall.

285
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: Well he did. He said. I didn't fire him based

286
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: on a bad officiating decision, but he said that we

287
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: hit the playoff wall year after year, thirteen seconds, missed

288
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: field goal, the catch. So I sensed that the locker

289
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: room like where do we go from here? And what

290
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: do we have? And that was the basis for my decision.

291
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody ask him, did you have

292
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: conversation with Josh Allen? I mean, that would be one

293
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: of those questions in the moment, I'd like to know,

294
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: did you talk to Josh Allen?

295
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 5: I'm going to keep that between us.

296
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna care I guys, look, I'm not going

297
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 3: to take you inside the locker room and share of that.

298
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: We'll talk to way Bill's writer coming up next. We

299
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: also talk to Booger McFarlane a little bit later on,

300
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers have a lot of injuries

301
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: and there is well maybe an excuse out there of

302
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: why they've had all of these injuries over the years,

303
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: and it has nothing to do with actually playing a

304
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: football game. That's later on. We'll take a break back

305
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: after this Dan Patrick Show.

321
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills for the Buffalo News Beat writer for the Bills, Jay,

322
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: when did you get word that the owner was going

323
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 2: to show up at the press conference.

324
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 11: That would have been the night before, so that would

325
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 11: have been Tuesday evening, and the release was very generic,

326
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 11: so we did not know whether Terry pagulo is going

327
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 11: to take questions. That's something he has not done since

328
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 11: twenty nineteen. So in in many ways, this was kind

329
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 11: of a monumental press conference in the sense of Terry

330
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 11: Pagoula answering questions from the media.

331
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: Okay, but when did you realize that this might go sideways?

332
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 4: Well, if you know.

333
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 11: The history with Terry Pagoula and press conferences, you know

334
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 11: that you know that the possibility is there. He public

335
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 11: speaking is not his strong suit. I think there are

336
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 11: a few different reasons that he does it very rarely.

337
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 11: It was obviously the interrupting the question about Keon Coleman

338
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 11: that it seemed to kind of get away from from

339
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 11: Terry Pagoula. I think that was definitely the moment where

340
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 11: he kind of stepped in it during the during the

341
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 11: press conference. I'm sure if he could do it again,

342
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 11: he would have taken that moment back. But yeah, that

343
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 11: was that was certainly the moment where it was like, Okay,

344
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 11: this is getting a little hairy here.

345
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: But he wasn't even asked about Keon Coleman.

346
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, he was not.

347
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 11: No, the question was directed to Brandon Bean and it

348
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 11: was about the wide receiver room in general and support

349
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 11: for Josh Allen.

350
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 4: It was a very fair question.

351
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 11: It was a topic really throughout the season here in Buffalo,

352
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 11: and for the owner to interject himself in that way,

353
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 11: I think really created a mess for his general manager

354
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 11: to try and clean up.

355
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to understand. He said that this was

356
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: based on that game, the outcome in Denver, I don't know.

357
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 2: Did he address Josh Allen's role in that game and

358
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: how poor he performed.

359
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: He did not know.

360
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 11: I mean, the only mention of Josh Allen that he

361
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 11: made was just how devastated he was in the locker

362
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 11: room after the game, And if you watch Josh Allen's

363
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 11: postgame press conference you could see it. I agree with Pagoula,

364
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 11: it was easily the most emotional, most devastated that I

365
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 11: have seen the quarterback during his time in Buffalo. And listen,

366
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 11: they've had some heartbreaking playoff failures here with Josh Allen,

367
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 11: but the difference in this one, I think in many ways,

368
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 11: and Josh Allen alluded to it is that the quarterback

369
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 11: feels like he cost his team the game because he

370
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 11: did turn the ball over as much as he did.

371
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 11: Were accustomed to Josh Allen playing terrific football in the playoffs,

372
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 11: even if it doesn't result in a Bill's win. Unfortunately,

373
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 11: in this game for the Bills against the Broncos, Josh

374
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 11: Allen did not do that.

375
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: I wondered, and I said this leading up to the game,

376
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: if he was coaching for his job. Turns out that

377
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: he was coaching for his job. Could he have kept

378
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: his job without anything other than a Super Bowl appearance?

379
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 4: I am skeptical of that.

380
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 11: I asked Terry Pagoula that question, that very question yesterday.

381
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 11: Had they won and lost in the ANFC Championship game

382
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 11: or lost in the Super Bowl, would we still be

383
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 11: sitting here today talking about Sean McDermott being fired. Pegoula

384
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 11: said he didn't want to speculate it speculate on that,

385
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 11: but a non answer in that situation to me almost

386
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 11: reads affirmative. I do think that he was coaching for

387
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 11: his job and anything short of a Super Bowl this

388
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 11: year was going to lead to a change.

389
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 2: Anybody talked to coach McDermott.

390
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: I have just through text.

391
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 11: He was incredibly gracious, as you would imagine. I thought

392
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 11: the statement that he put out was just pure class,

393
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 11: which is kind of if you've been around Sean and

394
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 11: know Sean, the way that I do was to be expected,

395
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 11: you know. I think that what's really interesting here, Dan

396
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 11: is that I think a lot of people, over the

397
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 11: past few years and the playoff failures, have sort of

398
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 11: thought that, hey, maybe this is the route that the

399
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 11: Bills need to go.

400
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: That they need to change, you know, make a change that.

401
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 11: Sean McDermot has taken them as far as that he can.

402
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 11: But when that change was actually made, the reaction amongst

403
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 11: many of the fans has been overwhelming sadness and sort

404
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 11: of you know, feeling for a guy who wanted nothing

405
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 11: more than to bring a Super Bowl to Buffalo.

406
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: I think the fans probably would may have been a

407
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say joyous, joyous, but if you had

408
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: John Harball available, Mike Tomlin's not going to coach, but

409
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: who's coming in and who is that person who takes

410
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: you to the next level, Because if you're walking in,

411
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: I'm expecting that that owner is expecting you to be

412
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: the difference here.

413
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 11: There is an immense amount of pressure on whoever takes

414
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 11: this job. The expectation is win a super Bowl, and

415
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 11: win it in your first year.

416
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: I did some research on that.

417
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 11: There have been seven coaches in league history who have

418
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 11: reached the super Bowl in their first season.

419
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 4: Four of them have won it falling.

420
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 11: Anything short of that is going to be deemed a

421
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 11: failure and is going to be the question is going

422
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 11: to be asked, well, why'd you move on from Sean

423
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 11: McDermott in the first place if this new guy can't

424
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 11: even get us to the super Bowl. So while the

425
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 11: job obviously has its advantages, right coaching Josh Allen one

426
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 11: of the best players on the planet makes it an

427
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 11: attractive job. It's got a rabid fan base, It's moving

428
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 11: into a new stadium next year. There are a lot

429
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 11: of positives to this job, but the pressure that it

430
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 11: comes with, I think is unlike any job really in

431
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 11: the NFL. The only maybe fair comparison is the Ravens opening.

432
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: Do you think the Bills are going to regret this?

433
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 11: It's a hard question to answer if I had to

434
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 11: answer today, just because of that pressure, and you know

435
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 11: what failure looks like for a new head coach. I

436
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 11: think they very well could. I do want to point

437
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 11: out that it can work out right. We've seen changes

438
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 11: like this have been made in the past, and you know,

439
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 11: maybe the best example is with Peyton Manning and the

440
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 11: Broncos when John Elway replaced John Fox with Gary Kubiak

441
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 11: the first season, they go on and they win it all.

442
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 11: So it can work, but a lot of things have

443
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 11: to go right. You have to nail the head coaching higher,

444
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 11: and Brandon Bean has to do a better job building

445
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 11: a roster around Josh Allen. I think that was when

446
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 11: we talk about the fallout of McDermott being fired. A

447
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 11: lot of people looking at this saying they fired the

448
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 11: wrong guy because they don't think there was a championship

449
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 11: caliber roster built around Josh Allen and that falls to

450
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 11: Brandon Bean.

451
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought they overachieved this year. And yes, I

452
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: know the window of opportunity was there with the other quarterbacks,

453
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: marquee quarterbacks who didn't make it this far. I'm guess

454
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. Does Josh Allen do an exit interview?

455
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: Is he going to be available for the media.

456
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was the first sign that maybe something was

457
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 11: a little bit off. We did not hear from him

458
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 11: on Sunday, the day after the season ended for locker

459
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 11: clean out we always have in the past. We were

460
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 11: told at that time Josh Allen wanted a couple of

461
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 11: days to sort of process the season. Knowing the emotion

462
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 11: that he had Saturday night. I think we all respected

463
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 11: that and understood it. I spoke with someone very close

464
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 11: to Josh Allen last night. He expressed confidence in Terry

465
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 11: Pegoula and Brandon Bean moving forward. I do not expect

466
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 11: that we will hear from Josh Allen in a press

467
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 11: conference setting or in a public setting until the Bills

468
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 11: hire a new head coach.

469
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: What is your question for Josh Allen?

470
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 11: What was your reaction to Sean McDermott being fired? Is

471
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 11: the first question, because without hearing from Josh Allen, and

472
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 11: with the way that Terry Pegoula answered the question about

473
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 11: was your starting quarterback on board with this decision basically

474
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 11: sidestepping the question, I think it does invite some cloudiness,

475
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 11: some mystery in terms of how Alan really felt about it.

476
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 11: I think the relationship with McDermott and Allen had really

477
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 11: strengthened in recent years and Listen, it's the only head

478
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 11: coach he's ever known in the NFL, And so how

479
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 11: is he taking this?

480
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: Like I said, I spoke.

481
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 11: With someone very close to him who did tell me

482
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 11: that he's not ready to speak publicly, but he is

483
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 11: confident in Pagoula and being moving forward. But I think

484
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 11: we need to fully kind of explore that idea and

485
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 11: that topic with him.

486
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: You bring up a tell though, when he doesn't do

487
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: what he's done before. Yes, it's emotional. I'm guessing he's

488
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: been really emotional with all of these playoff losses. But

489
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 2: it's almost as if I'm not going to speak to

490
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: you because I know what's coming. I know that my

491
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: coach is going to get fired. I don't want to

492
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: be talking to you on Sunday knowing he's getting fired Monday.

493
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not wrong in feeling that.

494
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 11: I think there's certainly that sentiment is out there, and

495
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 11: the evidence would suggest. I would say, though, Dan, that

496
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 11: the reality was that this loss did hit harder. Just

497
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 11: seeing how devastated he was in that locker room was

498
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 11: unlike anything we've seen. And listen, we've lived through thirteen seconds,

499
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 11: We've lived through.

500
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: Miss field goals. We've lived through fourth and.

501
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 11: One being stopped in the AFC Championship game in Kansas City,

502
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 11: where it looked like you should have had a first down.

503
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 11: I mean, he has been through it in the postseason.

504
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 11: But there may be a part of Josh Allen, whether

505
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 11: he knew Sean McDermott was getting fired or not, there

506
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 11: may be a part of him that had that realization

507
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 11: that we have gone as far as we can go

508
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 11: together as a quarterback and head coach, and it's not

509
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 11: far enough.

510
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: Jay, great stuff, Thanks for joining us.

511
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 4: Appreciate you having me, Dan.

512
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 7: Thank you.

513
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: Jay Skersky, He covers the Buffalo bills for the Buffalo News. Yeah,

514
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: the fact that Josh Allen didn't meet with the media

515
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 2: when he normally does would have been a tip off

516
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: for me. It would have raised the awareness of he

517
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 2: might know something. I'm gonna guess Josh Allen would have

518
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: known at some point over the weekend that Sean McDermott

519
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: wasn't coming back. Kevin in South Dakota, Hey, Kevin, what's

520
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: on your mind today?

521
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning guys. Six First time, long time question

522
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 7: for you, Dan. Was I listened to you talk about

523
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin here about a week or so ago.

524
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 11: One.

525
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 7: You know, if you had to sign up as a

526
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 7: Steelers fan for ten years of just going to the

527
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 7: playoffs but never going any further, how's that any different

528
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 7: from the Bills.

529
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: Bills have gone farther. Pittsburgh hasn't won a playoff game

530
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: in ten years. They have a winning record. That's it.

531
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: Do I want to sign up for a winning record

532
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: or a team that can get to an AFC title game.

533
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: I'll take the title game. It's a little better. But

534
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: I don't exonerate Mike Tomlin. I don't think he did.

535
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: I thought they overachieved this year, but in some of

536
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: those other years they underachieved. And I don't know Sean McDermott.

537
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: I can only go by the optics here and just

538
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: say you're blaming him for one game. Now you're not.

539
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: This isn't about one game. If they won the Super

540
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: Bowl the previous year and now all of a sudden

541
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: they lose that game, he's not getting fired. Or if

542
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 2: you go to the AFC title game and you play, really,

543
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: I just I don't think it's one game is the

544
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: reason why you're firing him. It can't be. It's just

545
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: a build up of expectations, the importance of this football

546
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: team in that city, and now all of a sudden,

547
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: we don't have to worry about Patrick Mahomes. Well, it's

548
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: not that easy. Just because Mahomes isn't there. The rest

549
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: of the teams in the AFC don't go, hey, come

550
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: on in, you go to the super Bowl. It's your turn.

551
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't get a bye week. Is Sean

552
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: McDermott a great coach. I think he's one of the

553
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: ten best coaches right now, or at least was in

554
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: the NFL. But I think so many close opportunities and

555
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: chances and failure And who are we firing. We didn't

556
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: fire the GM. You're not firing the quarterback. You're going

557
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: to fire the head coach. And you got nine years

558
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: and he'll get another job. But just if you look,

559
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: and that felt dysfunctional yesterday, So it's not all on

560
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: the coach. GM bill a roster. I didn't think this

561
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: team was a great team by any stretch. Here's Brandon

562
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: Bean the GM on building this roster.

563
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 12: We have an MVP quarterback who just completed his eighth

564
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 12: season here and we have got to help him get

565
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 12: to the Super Bowl. And bring a championship to Buffalo.

566
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 12: I bear guilt, blame, responsibility. There's no finger pointing. I

567
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 12: understand there's things I could have done better, and we're

568
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 12: always looking to get better and that will never change.

569
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 12: If we don't win the Super Bowl next season and

570
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 12: I'm up here explaining where we are and what we

571
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 12: have to do, there will be more things that we

572
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 12: will work to get better.

573
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: All right, Take ownership of the roster. I didn't think

574
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: it was a great roster.

575
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, Mark, If they don't win the Super Bowl, I

576
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 9: don't think he's going to be up next to the

577
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 9: owner next season.

578
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on who gets blamed. Well, Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach,

579
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: would's on your mind?

580
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 13: ADP, Thanks for taking my call based off of that

581
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 13: press conference yesterday. If you were a first time head coach,

582
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 13: would you take that job? Or do you think someone

583
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 13: that has a little experience?

584
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: Now, if you get the opportunity, you're taking that job.

585
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Like you got a new stadium, you got you know,

586
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: maybe the best quarterback in football. The expectation level is

587
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: going to be really high, unbelievable fan base, Like as

588
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: the Bills go, that city goes, and you know you're

589
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: walking in knowing that that guy before you had a

590
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: pretty good resume and he got fired And if you

591
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: listen to the owner, he got fired for one game.

592
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: Russell and Vegas. Hi, Russ, how's it going great?

593
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 14: Big time, big time fan. I saw you guys in

594
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 14: Vegas a couple of times. I love you guys very much.

595
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 14: As I was born in Buffalo, New York, and as

596
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 14: a Bills fan, I've seen a lot of coaches.

597
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: Come and go.

598
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 14: But they're going to regret this. They're absolutely going to

599
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 14: regret this because they're supposed to open up a new

600
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 14: stadium in September and they have no head coach right now.

601
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're gonna get now. I don't know about this.

602
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, Terry Pegoula, But who are you have

603
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: to make this decision? Knowing who are we going to get? Like,

604
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: you can't just go I'm gonna not many guys. You know,

605
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: like you're getting divorced and you don't already have a girlfriend.

606
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: Like this feels like there's a divorce and I've already

607
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: got a girlfriend here. I don't know who that is.

608
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: But you're walking in and you might be competing now

609
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: with Baltimore or Pittsburgh for that guy. And now John

610
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: Harball was not going to wait. But if John Harball

611
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: had not signed with the Giants, would John Harball be

612
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: taking that job? You got to ask that question. But

613
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: you're walking into what I think is an unbelievable environment,

614
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: a new stadium, and you got Josh Allen. It's just

615
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that roster was great. I didn't. I

616
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: said it before. I just I didn't think that that

617
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: was one of the better teams that he's had in

618
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: recent years. But it was good enough to get to

619
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: where they got and they should have won the game.

620
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: And it's not based on one bad call in your opinion,

621
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: because it was an interception. You may not like it,

622
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: but don't blame it all on that. Let's take a break.

Speaker 2: com Dan in Wisconsin, Hi Dan, what's on your mind today?

645
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 15: Thanks for taking my call DP, first time, long time

646
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 15: big fan six foot too. Something I just wanted to say,

647
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 15: It's important for owners to have multiple press conferences each season.

648
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 15: I feel like at the end of the day, they're

649
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 15: the ones in control, They're the ones who can open

650
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 15: up their pockets, have the final say, and the ones

651
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 15: who can sign off on those impact players. I just

652
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 15: feel like fans want to hear those types of things.

653
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: No oh, I do. Yes, if I'm a fan. I

654
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: want to hear my owner. If I'm a member of

655
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: the media, I love when ownership gets in front of us.

656
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: I do It's great. They're not trained to do this,

657
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: they're trained. Whatever they say that, somebody's going to react

658
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 2: by saying, oh yeah, right right, boss, right, sir, you

659
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: get in front of the media. It doesn't work that way.

660
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: They're like, wait, wait, wait a minute, did you fired

661
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: him off one game? Wait? We weren't talking about Keon Coleman, right,

662
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 2: who drafted Keon Coleman. I mean, Jerry jones Can has

663
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: been able to do it like he can somehow bs

664
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: his way through it, and we kind of expect him

665
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: to talk. But when you have somebody who hasn't spoken

666
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: to the media since twenty nineteen, man, I'm like, let's go,

667
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 2: and it's going to be a fifty four minute press conference.

668
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: Let's go, uh Jake and Buffalo hi Jake, and sign

669
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: your mind forty.

670
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 16: Five minutes talking about the bills in confidence. It kind

671
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 16: of feels like the early two thousands all over again.

672
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 16: But I'm not surprised that they fire McDermott a team

673
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 16: like it was probably time given all the playoff losses,

674
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 16: but it's just how it was done. We haven't seen

675
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 16: or heard from Terry since like twenty twenty. He pops

676
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 16: up out of nowhere, fires the coach that ended the

677
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 16: seventeen years after out in one ninety eight games with

678
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 16: one sentence in a press release that says he did

679
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 16: a quote unquote admiral job and then gets in front

680
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 16: of the media yesterday and dig himself a hole. So

681
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 16: a little scared as the Bills fan, Terry's been really

682
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 16: good at keeping the Sabers absolutely terrible for going on

683
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 16: fifteen years. So I think it's like super important that

684
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 16: they know this coaching hire and don't send this Bill

685
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 16: down the path that the Sabers around.

686
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you, Jake. Yeah, look at Sean

687
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 2: mcdermot's predecessors in Buffalo, and then you look at what

688
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: he was able to accomplish. Let's see, you have all

689
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: those coaches before.

690
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's just a ton I can't go through Dick Drohn, Malarkey, Gaily,

691
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera. For from two thousand to twenty sixteen,

692
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 8: they didn't make the postseason.

693
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: Shadow Today brought to you by Panini America, the official

694
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: trading cards of the program. Since Sean McDermott gone to Buffalo,

695
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: they missed the playoffs one time. Let's see Sebastian in Virginia. Hey, Sebastian,

696
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm looking at the audience for the

697
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: Bills and Broncos. Just under forty million, with fifty one

698
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: million tuning in during overtime, the most watched Saturday broadcast

699
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: on any network since the nineteen ninety four Winter Olympics,

700
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: and the most watched Saturday afternoon broadcast in history. What

701
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 2: do you have for me, Sebastian, Hey, thanks for taking

702
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: the call. It's foot a wintery one semi five, two

703
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: part questions for you? And should Baltimore hire Sean McDermott,

704
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: And if you're Sean McDermott, do you want the Baltimore job?

705
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: It's a great job. But I don't know. You know,

706
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: when you get fired and all of a sudden, you know,

707
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: can you have your mind click on or a light

708
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: switch on and go all right? I got to get

709
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: my act together. Now where do I want to coach?

710
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: And maybe he doesn't want to coach right away? I

711
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: don't know. I haven't seen anything, I haven't heard anything,

712
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: but if you offered the Baltimore job and you could

713
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: in the AFC. I mean, he's only fifty one years

714
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 2: of age. James in Nashville, Hi, James.

715
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 17: Hey, gp things for taking my call two hundred. I

716
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 17: haven't heard much from Fritchey. Forgive me if if he's.

717
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 7: Not there, I'm listening on radio.

718
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 17: But I'm curious, would you rather the Baltimore job or

719
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 17: the Buffalo job if you're a candidate on the market

720
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 17: for a head coaching position?

721
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, Todd, do you want to answer that for

722
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 2: James in Nashville? I would do because I'm such an expert.

723
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 5: I really need to know Todd's spots on which job

724
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 5: you would take.

725
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 9: I think I would take the Baltimore job, Okay, all right,

726
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 9: especially after seeing that how the owner handled things. I

727
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 9: don't know how comfortable I am going there in the

728
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 9: relationship between the owner and GM and trying to get

729
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 9: in the middle of all that.

730
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: Okay, anybody taking the Buffalo job over the Baltimore job, Paulie,

731
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: Why the.

732
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 8: Upside of winning there? It's like taking over the Red

733
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 8: Sox in two thousand. The upside of delivering for the

734
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 8: Bills fans is all timer.

735
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 2: Okay, everybody else, look at the Baltimore job is better. Yes, Heaton, Man,

736
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: this is hard. They're both great jobs. To me.

737
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 3: I think there's something really awesome about Buffalo. I agree

738
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 3: in Sports Town. It's hard for me to say no

739
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: to that job, which is no slight to the Ravens gig,

740
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: which is incredible.

741
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 2: But they've had success. Buffalo is waiting. Yeah, wait, that's

742
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: a great place. One hour in the books, two more

743
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: to go. Booger McFarlane from the Mothership will join us.

744
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: We're back after this. In The Dan Patrick Show,
