WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Horns Down Hysteria, Peter King 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.880 Sports Radio. It's our two in this Thursday, Dan and 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.400 the Dan Nets. Dan Patrick Show spent a lot of 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.240 time first hour talking about the Cowboys. They didn't make 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:19.040 a move yesterday. They're keeping Mike McCarthy. Philadelphia appears to 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.319 be leaning towards keeping Nick Sirianni, or at least that 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.440 was the feeling that the coaching staff is looking for 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.319 different coordinators here, which would mean I would think on 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.880 the surface, Nick Sirianni is going to keep his jump. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.440 But that didn't stop somebody from asking one of the 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:41.920 Philadelphia Eagles, Fletcher Cox, about their new head coach or 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:42.920 their old head coach. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.480 Have you gotten any window what's gonna happen to Nick? 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.680 And you have confidence and if you if you do, 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:50.720 come back to confidence in him as he's. 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.360 Also they could write any news about what about the Nick. 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.080 I mean, there's obviously some speculation while letter he made 0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:01.480 fire ty huh yeah, just a moment ready had football 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:02.040 coach of this team? 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.960 Man, come on, man, we ain't they ain't even a 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.280 discussion about Yeah, okay, I oh, I don't got understand 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:08.240 my dad, Man, you're a clown. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.040 Bro get on say, oh, come on, no, Fletcher, you're 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.120 a clown. He was. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.720 He was doing his job by asking you about this, 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.920 and I get it. You can support your coach, but 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.640 you don't have to say you're a clown. Diana Rossini 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.319 is reporting that the Eagles GM Howie Roseman and the 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.600 head coach Nick Sirianni, have been reaching out to available 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.520 NFL coaches and coordinators, as well as coaching agents across 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:40.479 the league. They're evaluating potential coordinator candidates to join the staff. Now, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.960 that could go on, and it doesn't mean ownership's going 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.399 to go, hey, you're coming back, Nick. It could be 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.120 these guys are going about their job. This is what 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.240 they're supposed to do. After the season, after you lose 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.600 like that, you need changes, and Nick Siriani is probably 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.600 looking at making changes. So there isn't a change at 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.520 the head coaching position, all right? Eight seven to seven 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.680 three DP show email address DP Atdanpatrick dot com, Twitter 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.800 handle at DP show Peter King. He'll join us coming 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.760 up here in a little bit. We'll talk about what 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.079 the Cowboys didn't do. What the Eagles might do. Is 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.880 the charger job Jim Harballs to turn down and is 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.680 Bill Belichick going to be the next head coach of 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.320 the Atlanta Falcons. The Raiders look like Antonio Pierce will 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.760 be their guy. Who wants Washington and who wants the 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.040 Carolina job. So Pete will join us coming up. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:29.760 Good morning. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.520 If you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner. Download 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.320 the app if you haven't done so. And poll question 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.400 for hour two is going to be what seedn O'Connor? 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.040 Well, we could change it up to the worst offense 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.359 one can commit in sports? 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:51.000 Ooh, okay, miss, this happened last night Texas Longhorns. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.600 They were not happy they lost a game. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.600 Well, if I can ask you the question again, where's 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.040 defense one can commit in sports? 0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:58.280 Okay? 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.000 Is it cheating, gambling or fixing the game? Or is 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.480 it doing the horns down gesture? If you were able 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.800 to pick up those three things, I. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.320 Would say horns down? Clearly, Yeah, obviously, clearly. Here is 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.120 the Texas head coach after a loss to Central Florida 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.600 where the players were doing the horns down. Here's Rodney Terry. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.120 You know, I'm a. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.040 Big believer, and you know you win the right way, 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.920 you lose the right way, and you know, I always 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.720 tell my guys, you know, whether you win or lose, 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.239 you win the right way. You lose the right way, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.639 you carry yourself the right way. You don't go through 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.040 the handshake line of proud to get into the handshake 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.200 line and have about six or seven guys putting the 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.960 horse down. We don't do that, you know. So that's 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.760 what I was angry about. And I was letting those guys. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:47.480 Know, you don't do that. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.600 You know, you guys want hey, we shake, you know, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.960 shake your hand tip. I had to you, but we're 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.880 not gonna let you act that way and out building. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:56.840 You're not gonna do that. You're not gonna put your 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.040 horns down and do all that nonsense. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.440 Okay, if you can't do horns down, then don't do 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:09.360 horns up. Okay, let's be fair, because now I'm all 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.760 for freedom to horn, you know, if you want to 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.800 go up or you want to go down. But the 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.400 fact that they had to put this language into the 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.039 Big twelve, that is saying to teams you can't do 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:25.240 horns down, well, then don't do horns up like you're 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.400 rubbing it in. When you do horns up, they're rubbing 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.799 it in. Yeah, they're not giving you the middle finger 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.840 like you get a taunting penalty is what you're going 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.479 to get if you do horns down? So in game, 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.640 in game, I don't know about after the game. All 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.479 bets are off there. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.080 Yeah, I definitely appreciate going through the handshake line and 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.080 not doing hornsdown. But even in that sound bitdies like 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.000 you know you're going through the handshake lip well or 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.200 just prior to the handshake line, like now you can't 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.560 even do it walking to or from the handshake line 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:57.640 because Texas is going. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:58.240 To get upset. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:03.560 Good it Is there any other gesture that's written into 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.880 the rules of a conference here? 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.480 Is there anything else you're not allowed to do because. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.080 You know I have news for Texas when they joined 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.840 the SEC exactly. 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:17.159 Yeah. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.200 I don't think horns down is what you have to worry. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.960 Yeah, yeah, I'm. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.000 Sure Georgia fans are gonna be accommodating. My bad. My 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.880 bad didn't mean to do the horns down. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.320 In the SEC. They're gonna buy a steer, pull them 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.560 upside down. With horns down. They're not just gonna put 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.560 the little fingers down. They go big. I think you 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.719 guys are overlooking the long historical rivalry that is Texas 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.760 basketball versus UCF basketball. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.680 Yeah, the layer. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.479 You know what, you can almost agree with the coach 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.400 in theory, the head coach of Texas, Rodney Terry, that, yeah, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.719 those players probably shouldn't be taunting Texas as they go 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.160 to the But that's on Johnny Dawkins, the head coach 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.720 of UCF, to deal with and to address with his 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.800 own players. You know, I don't I don't think you 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.120 don't say it to him in the line, and you 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.600 don't say it in the press conference. Maybe you pulled 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.000 Johnny Dawkins aside and say, hey guys, hey man, that was. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.520 But they weren't walking by them doing No, it was 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.280 mulunched down. It was in the group celebrating if they 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.840 were doing it, and then they were like nice nice game, 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.240 nice game, nice game. But if it's like they were 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.000 shaking the hands of the Texas players, but they were 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:26.240 shaking it with the horns two fingers here, like you know, the. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.360 Good news is that team's going forward they face Texas. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.760 There, no nobody would think of doing that. Uh, what 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:37.320 else do you have? Poll question was, wait, he shook 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.280 my hand with a there's a Horne. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.560 Okay, that good luck, good luck to you. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.560 Better not be so sensitive. Yeah, next year, we had 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.320 up there. Next season, the Cowboys will get better or worse. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.520 Right now, eighty six percent of the audience, this might 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.080 be recency biased, said that they're getting worse. 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.839 You know what, it'll probably be the same. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.920 You know, they win twelve games and then they lose 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.440 in the first or second round. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.440 I mean technically, I like this person pointed out on Twitter, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.520 eleven and six would technically be worse. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:13.760 But it's still pretty good. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.120 Okay, But if you were eleven and six and then 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.360 you went to the conference championship, then it's better there. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.880 All right, we'll talk to Peter King about what the 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.480 Cowboys didn't do. No word on the Eagles right now, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.480 and of course the chart we had Albert Breer the 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.840 Monday morning quarterback. He joined us and he said he 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.400 thinks the Charger's job is Jim Harbaughs to turn down, 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.080 and the Falcons job is Bill Belichick's if he wants it. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.760 And then you have the other teams, you know, Washington 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:48.520 with a startup rebuild and certainly Carolina as well. And 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.920 that's where are you going to get Mike is Mike 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.040 Vrabel going to be a coach who takes over Carolina. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.520 I mean, at some point there's only going to be 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.680 two jobs available, and Mike Rabel is going to be 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.880 one of the candidates for those two jobs. It feels 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.920 like that's Washington and that might be the place, but 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:12.800 Carolina or Washington for Mike Vrabel. And when he got fired, 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:18.440 what was the response, Oh, he could get a job tomorrow. Okay, 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.560 it's like Mike McCarthy, Oh, if he gets fired, he'll 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.640 get a job tomorrow, which I went, no, I don't think. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:28.320 So he doesn't bring twelve wins to Carolina. He doesn't 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.360 bring twelve wins to Washington. They did win twelve games 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.760 in Dallas. Well, those rosters are dead. It's not like 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.000 you go, hey, you plug in Mike McCarthy, you're getting 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.800 twelve wins. No, that's not the case. But I think 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.120 there's if we're pointing fingers, you can't point all the 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:50.040 fingers at Mike McCarthy. It wasn't clock management in the 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.400 loss to Green Bay. Now you can say they weren't prepared, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.400 and it felt like they weren't prepared. Green Bay had 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.720 a better game plan and Dallas seems surprised by that 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.480 game plan. All right, poll question for an hour two 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.600 seat and anything else that you're pondering here. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.360 Well, we have a lot of Dallas Mike McCarthy poll questions. Okay, Well, 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.320 Jerry Jones regret keeping Mike McCarthy, Ay, yes or no, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:18.120 that's tough to say. 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:23.560 See Jerry, his coaches become his friend and they probably 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:28.160 have beers in nachos every Friday. And Jason Garrett was 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.679 a friend, probably beauted him as his sun. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:32.319 Sometimes. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.040 You know, it's you can't hire somebody you can't fire. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.360 That's really just a you know, a standard work philosophy. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.040 If you're running a successful business, you can't hire somebody 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.400 where you go, I can't fire him. Yeah, you can 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.800 because it's a bottom line business. And while their bottom 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:57.440 line is, you know whatever, ten billion dollar company here, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:03.560 you're still not winning. You if they won, do you 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.040 think how successful they become And they don't even win, 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:13.360 they don't win anything that's power. Imagine if they win 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.960 a championship. All right, couple of phone calls here Michael 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.040 and Indiana. Hey Mike, what's on your mind today? 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.000 Hey? Dan? 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:27.200 Five to eleven? A medium rare one eight. Okay, I 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.280 just wanted to followup on the whole horns down thing. 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.440 You know, I think if you're a Texas fan at 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.640 this point, you should just expect it, right, people are 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.760 gonna do it. I think Texas fans may be one 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.480 of the softest fan bases out there, and wanted to 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.120 get your opinion on, you know, if Texas is the 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.520 top softest fan base, even though everyone in Texas is 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.800 apparently super tough. But who else what other fan base 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.760 is out there across all sports or maybe categorize? 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.720 Okay, I didn't think i'd be talking about softest franchises, yes, point, 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:07.400 I don't think I. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.400 Would use the words soft as much as touchy, sensitive, 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:11.760 sensitive or touchy. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:12.360 Fan bas Yeah. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:13.800 You know, we do this for a living, and when 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.840 we poke a fan base there's some that react and 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.560 react with anger. I would throw out Ohio State football 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.920 fans no matter what you say about them. It sometimes can't. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.400 It doesn't work, even if it's some type of compliment 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.439 and I have nothing else what has it? But I've 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.559 noticed that in our reactions when we do stuff on 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.000 the show, there's one I'll throw it. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.520 Yeah, I don't have a bias with any of these 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.880 fan bases. I truly don't you know. I'm not in 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.120 the growing up in Ohio. I understand, you know, when 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.360 you talk bad about the Buckeyes and people want to 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:46.000 come after you. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:46.840 I get it. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.360 But my job is not to placate people. It's to 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.960 give you an opinion. And Texas I didn't grow up 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.720 in the environment. But it's like, okay, don't give me 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.079 horns up. If they can't give you horns down and 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.880 you had a bad night, now you're going to say 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.720 to the head coach of Central Florida, guys, let's not 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.120 do that. We're better than that. Okay, fine, I'm gonna 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.480 leave it with the two parties there. But you know 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.320 they're doing it because they want to get to you. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.520 And then you let them get to you, and then 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.280 they're going to continue to do it. And if you 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.440 think you played big boy football in the Big twelve, 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.880 now you go to the SEC. Get ready is there 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:32.000 it's gonna happen. I wouldn't be I wouldn't be as sensitive. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.240 You know, when you when you're facing LSU at night, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.160 I'm gonna guess you're gonna get down there in Baton Rouge. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.160 Just guessing, just guessing you're gonna get a little bit 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.160 of that. Dug in North Carolina. Hi, Doug, what's on 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:45.520 your mind? 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.560 Private jets are on my mind this morning, Darren. Yesterday 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.200 you said on the program that you've heard that Jim 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.520 Harball may be asking for stuff that is not football related. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.280 And one of the things that I think it may 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.080 be is jet travel. In his current Michigan contract, he 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.680 gets somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty or forty hours 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:11.400 on the team's private jet for personal use. They have 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.280 a jet for him to do recruiting, and I don't 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.240 know how how does Mike Tomlin or an NFL coach 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.280 travel for personal use. Do they have private jets or 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.240 the flying first class? I think giving up a private 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.680 jet would be really hard to part with. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.599 Well, but they're recruiting. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.280 Mike Tomlin's not getting on a plane in the off 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.000 season and flying around to recruits, whereas Jim Harbaugh is. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.880 It gets a necessity that you can get from point 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.840 A to point B and do it on your own 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.640 time instead of you know, waiting in the line, you know, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.960 at hurts to get a rental car or you know, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:51.160 getting on a plane Jet Blue. It's just doesn't make sense. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.000 You know, Lincoln Riley got that when he went to US. See, 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.720 there are a lot of coaches who have that. There's 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.040 always going to be a plane available to you, whether 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.960 it's the school or it's a billionaire. You know, the 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:03.720 billionaire is going to want to go with you, and 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.360 he's going to want to see what you're doing and 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.360 talk to the coach and you can use my playing. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:08.920 He wants access there. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.800 But I don't think that's a reason why Jim Harbaugh 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.760 is going to stay at Michigan or not stay at 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.680 Michigan because of the private jet. He's going to have 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:24.360 access to that, But you're not flying around recruiting kids 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.360 where I need to be there Friday night and come 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.960 back on Saturday. And this is in the off season. 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.520 Hey I got to go see you know this family, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:38.320 this kid. It's just not how it works. Let's see, 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.800 So Peter King will join us coming up here rough 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:47.320 week for Alabama. By the way, the transfer portal NIOL 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.720 that used to be their friend, certainly the transfer portal, 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.520 but not the case anymore. There are some players who 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.560 aren't going to stay around to see what kind of 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.800 coach Kaitlin Debor is. So this is it's been eight days, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:06.000 eight days, and Saban is still around the program. But 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.280 you have players, and these are big time players, and 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.200 they are in the transfer portal. You're also getting this 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.800 there's negotiations going on. Hey I'll stay, they want a 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:24.000 better deal if not. And let's face it, you know 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.600 you went there for Nick Saban, You're playing for Nick Saban. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.560 You're going to play in big games. It's not a 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:36.320 foregone conclusion that Alabama stays Alabama because you have seen 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.040 programs die decay when they don't have that coach that 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:45.400 they once had. And I think that's something that Alabama 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.120 is going to realize. Used to be, Alabama decided who 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.920 they wanted. Like UCLA basketball back in the sixties and seventies, 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.440 they decided if they wanted you, you're trying to recruit them, 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.880 Hey what about me? Kentucky? It felt like Kentucky got 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.120 whoever they wanted. There's certain schools and then all of 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.000 a sudden, you lose a little bit of that luster, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.200 or you're not winning, or your coach decides to leave 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:18.680 or in this case retires, then it's different. These kids 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:23.000 were going there to play for Nick Saban. You're going 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:27.240 to Georgia, you play for Kirby Smart. Yes, Marv, It's. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.480 Kind of like Florida when Irbi Meyer was there. I 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.040 was like, look if he had stayed there. Yeah, they 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.320 probably run off a Sabin like run because they were 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:33.920 on fire. 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:41.120 Let's see, this is from Ian Rapaport. Bill Belichick will 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.000 have a second interview with the Atlanta Falcons this weekend. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.600 It'll be uh, let's see, things are ramping up with 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:50.640 the greatest coach. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.800 Of all time. So that's Ian Rappaport. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.160 I think all signs lead towards Atlanta, and I wouldn't 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.000 be surprised at all if Bill Belichick is by this 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.760 time next week is the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.000 All right, take a break. We'll get Peter King's thoughts 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.680 on this. We're back after this in The Dan Patrick Show. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.440 Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.120 Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.399 on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:22.080 Hey, what's up, everybody. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.720 It's me three time Pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.400 couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:28.960 on Game? 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:30.240 What is up on Game? 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.920 You assd along with my fellow pro bowler TJ.

He's Peter King, 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.840 the great columnist Football Morning in America and contributor to 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.439 a Football Night in America. All right, Pete, let me 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.199 start with the news here. Ian Rappaport saying Bill Belichick's 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:20.480 got a second interview with the Atlanta Falcons. Do you 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.640 think this is maybe a foregone conclusion that's the best 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:24.600 place for Belichick? 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.199 I don't know, Dan, I mean, you tell me, you 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.320 tell me now, whether if you were Jeffrey Lurry and 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.040 Howie Roseman right now, you tell me who do you 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.960 want to coach your team next year? I mean, I 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.280 understand that it's crazy to fire a coach eleven and 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:50.680 a half months after he had his. 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:51.760 Team in the Super Bowl. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.760 I get it, but you saw what happened to the Eagles. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:00.320 You listen to Jalen Hurtz after the game, which he 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:06.320 gave probably the most lukewarm milk toast endorsement of a 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:11.240 coach that you could possibly give, and you tell me 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.320 there's not some issues there. That, plus the fact that 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:19.159 Jalen Hurts played just laconic football at the end of 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.280 the year. I don't know what to call it. I 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.440 can't figure it out, but that word comes to mind. 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:31.520 I guess if Atlanta is going to sprint out and 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.640 you go out there and really try to seal up 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:40.400 Bill Belichick, I suppose they'll get him. But Steth Wickersham 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.399 had a great post on social media, I think it 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:48.800 was yesterday where he said, remember how all these teams 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.359 didn't go after Tom Brady when he was a free agent, 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.399 and some of them really regret it. Dan, I'm telling 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.320 you to this day, I believe the forty nine ers 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:05.840 sincerely regret it. And you know so, I don't know 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.960 what to say other than you can find all the 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.960 ways to criticize Belichick the way you can find ways 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.920 to criticize Tom Brady, you know, four years ago. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.520 But I mean, it's Tom Brady, it's Bill Belichick. So 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:20.480 I don't know. 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.800 I do think some teams are going to have regrets 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.440 if the Falcons swoop in and sign them. 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.679 The Cowboys decide to keep Mike McCarthy with Bill Belichick 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:35.600 out there, how surprising is that to upgrade your coaching position. 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.520 You know, look, if you've won thirty six regular season 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:42.840 games in three years, I think you have a great 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.040 argument to stay regardless of what happens in the postseason. 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.520 But you know, Dan, look at three years in a row, 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.159 how their season has ended and crashed and burned in 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.480 Dallas against the forty nine ers two years ago, when 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.400 Dak and McCarthy screwed up the clock at the end 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.399 of the game, it crashed and burned in an ugly 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:10.080 loss at San Francisco which they couldn't do anything on offense. 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.400 And then, you know, look at what happened in San 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:14.520 Francisco this year. 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.160 They lose forty two to ten. 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:21.119 So you win twelve games, But does anybody really feel 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.960 at the end of this season, however, you feel about 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:30.119 how they were just absolutely manhandled by the seventh seed 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:31.320 in the NFC. 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.399 Whatever you feel. Does anybody feel they're close to the 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.080 forty nine ers? I don't, so I don't know. 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.520 To me, I thought Jerry Jones was going to look 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.840 at this and say, we need shock therapy. We're a 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.800 good team, but we're not going to win with this 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:49.440 current administration. 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:51.800 But Jerry decided otherwise. 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:53.920
