Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two in this Thursday, Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dan Nets. Dan Patrick Show spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time first hour talking about the Cowboys. They didn't make
Speaker 1: a move yesterday. They're keeping Mike McCarthy. Philadelphia appears to
Speaker 1: be leaning towards keeping Nick Sirianni, or at least that
Speaker 1: was the feeling that the coaching staff is looking for
Speaker 1: different coordinators here, which would mean I would think on
Speaker 1: the surface, Nick Sirianni is going to keep his jump.
Speaker 1: But that didn't stop somebody from asking one of the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, Fletcher Cox, about their new head coach or
Speaker 1: their old head coach.
Speaker 2: Have you gotten any window what's gonna happen to Nick?
Speaker 1: And you have confidence and if you if you do,
Speaker 1: come back to confidence in him as he's.
Speaker 2: Also they could write any news about what about the Nick.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's obviously some speculation while letter he made
Speaker 2: fire ty huh yeah, just a moment ready had football
Speaker 2: coach of this team?
Speaker 3: Man, come on, man, we ain't they ain't even a
Speaker 3: discussion about Yeah, okay, I oh, I don't got understand
Speaker 3: my dad, Man, you're a clown.
Speaker 2: Bro get on say, oh, come on, no, Fletcher, you're
Speaker 2: a clown. He was.
Speaker 4: He was doing his job by asking you about this,
Speaker 4: and I get it. You can support your coach, but
Speaker 4: you don't have to say you're a clown. Diana Rossini
Speaker 4: is reporting that the Eagles GM Howie Roseman and the
Speaker 4: head coach Nick Sirianni, have been reaching out to available
Speaker 4: NFL coaches and coordinators, as well as coaching agents across
Speaker 4: the league. They're evaluating potential coordinator candidates to join the staff. Now,
Speaker 4: that could go on, and it doesn't mean ownership's going
Speaker 4: to go, hey, you're coming back, Nick. It could be
Speaker 4: these guys are going about their job. This is what
Speaker 4: they're supposed to do. After the season, after you lose
Speaker 4: like that, you need changes, and Nick Siriani is probably
Speaker 4: looking at making changes. So there isn't a change at
Speaker 4: the head coaching position, all right? Eight seven to seven
Speaker 4: three DP show email address DP Atdanpatrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 4: handle at DP show Peter King. He'll join us coming
Speaker 4: up here in a little bit. We'll talk about what
Speaker 4: the Cowboys didn't do. What the Eagles might do. Is
Speaker 4: the charger job Jim Harballs to turn down and is
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick going to be the next head coach of
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons. The Raiders look like Antonio Pierce will
Speaker 4: be their guy. Who wants Washington and who wants the
Speaker 4: Carolina job. So Pete will join us coming up.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 4: If you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner. Download
Speaker 4: the app if you haven't done so. And poll question
Speaker 4: for hour two is going to be what seedn O'Connor?
Speaker 5: Well, we could change it up to the worst offense
Speaker 5: one can commit in sports?
Speaker 4: Ooh, okay, miss, this happened last night Texas Longhorns.
Speaker 2: They were not happy they lost a game.
Speaker 5: Well, if I can ask you the question again, where's
Speaker 5: defense one can commit in sports?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 5: Is it cheating, gambling or fixing the game? Or is
Speaker 5: it doing the horns down gesture? If you were able
Speaker 5: to pick up those three things, I.
Speaker 4: Would say horns down? Clearly, Yeah, obviously, clearly. Here is
Speaker 4: the Texas head coach after a loss to Central Florida
Speaker 4: where the players were doing the horns down. Here's Rodney Terry.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a.
Speaker 3: Big believer, and you know you win the right way,
Speaker 3: you lose the right way, and you know, I always
Speaker 3: tell my guys, you know, whether you win or lose,
Speaker 3: you win the right way. You lose the right way,
Speaker 3: you carry yourself the right way. You don't go through
Speaker 3: the handshake line of proud to get into the handshake
Speaker 3: line and have about six or seven guys putting the
Speaker 3: horse down. We don't do that, you know. So that's
Speaker 3: what I was angry about. And I was letting those guys.
Speaker 2: Know, you don't do that.
Speaker 3: You know, you guys want hey, we shake, you know,
Speaker 3: shake your hand tip. I had to you, but we're
Speaker 3: not gonna let you act that way and out building.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna do that. You're not gonna put your
Speaker 3: horns down and do all that nonsense.
Speaker 4: Okay, if you can't do horns down, then don't do
Speaker 4: horns up. Okay, let's be fair, because now I'm all
Speaker 4: for freedom to horn, you know, if you want to
Speaker 4: go up or you want to go down. But the
Speaker 4: fact that they had to put this language into the
Speaker 4: Big twelve, that is saying to teams you can't do
Speaker 4: horns down, well, then don't do horns up like you're
Speaker 4: rubbing it in. When you do horns up, they're rubbing
Speaker 4: it in. Yeah, they're not giving you the middle finger
Speaker 4: like you get a taunting penalty is what you're going
Speaker 4: to get if you do horns down? So in game,
Speaker 4: in game, I don't know about after the game. All
Speaker 4: bets are off there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely appreciate going through the handshake line and
Speaker 5: not doing hornsdown. But even in that sound bitdies like
Speaker 5: you know you're going through the handshake lip well or
Speaker 5: just prior to the handshake line, like now you can't
Speaker 5: even do it walking to or from the handshake line
Speaker 5: because Texas is going.
Speaker 2: To get upset.
Speaker 4: Good it Is there any other gesture that's written into
Speaker 4: the rules of a conference here?
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you're not allowed to do because.
Speaker 5: You know I have news for Texas when they joined
Speaker 5: the SEC exactly.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't think horns down is what you have to worry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sure Georgia fans are gonna be accommodating. My bad. My
Speaker 2: bad didn't mean to do the horns down.
Speaker 8: In the SEC. They're gonna buy a steer, pull them
Speaker 8: upside down. With horns down. They're not just gonna put
Speaker 8: the little fingers down. They go big. I think you
Speaker 8: guys are overlooking the long historical rivalry that is Texas
Speaker 8: basketball versus UCF basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the layer.
Speaker 8: You know what, you can almost agree with the coach
Speaker 8: in theory, the head coach of Texas, Rodney Terry, that, yeah,
Speaker 8: those players probably shouldn't be taunting Texas as they go
Speaker 8: to the But that's on Johnny Dawkins, the head coach
Speaker 8: of UCF, to deal with and to address with his
Speaker 8: own players. You know, I don't I don't think you
Speaker 8: don't say it to him in the line, and you
Speaker 8: don't say it in the press conference. Maybe you pulled
Speaker 8: Johnny Dawkins aside and say, hey guys, hey man, that was.
Speaker 4: But they weren't walking by them doing No, it was
Speaker 4: mulunched down. It was in the group celebrating if they
Speaker 4: were doing it, and then they were like nice nice game,
Speaker 4: nice game, nice game. But if it's like they were
Speaker 4: shaking the hands of the Texas players, but they were
Speaker 4: shaking it with the horns two fingers here, like you know, the.
Speaker 8: Good news is that team's going forward they face Texas.
Speaker 4: There, no nobody would think of doing that. Uh, what
Speaker 4: else do you have? Poll question was, wait, he shook
Speaker 4: my hand with a there's a Horne.
Speaker 2: Okay, that good luck, good luck to you.
Speaker 5: Better not be so sensitive. Yeah, next year, we had
Speaker 5: up there. Next season, the Cowboys will get better or worse.
Speaker 5: Right now, eighty six percent of the audience, this might
Speaker 5: be recency biased, said that they're getting worse.
Speaker 2: You know what, it'll probably be the same.
Speaker 4: You know, they win twelve games and then they lose
Speaker 4: in the first or second round.
Speaker 5: I mean technically, I like this person pointed out on Twitter,
Speaker 5: eleven and six would technically be worse.
Speaker 2: But it's still pretty good.
Speaker 4: Okay, But if you were eleven and six and then
Speaker 4: you went to the conference championship, then it's better there.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll talk to Peter King about what the
Speaker 4: Cowboys didn't do. No word on the Eagles right now,
Speaker 4: and of course the chart we had Albert Breer the
Speaker 4: Monday morning quarterback. He joined us and he said he
Speaker 4: thinks the Charger's job is Jim Harbaughs to turn down,
Speaker 4: and the Falcons job is Bill Belichick's if he wants it.
Speaker 4: And then you have the other teams, you know, Washington
Speaker 4: with a startup rebuild and certainly Carolina as well. And
Speaker 4: that's where are you going to get Mike is Mike
Speaker 4: Vrabel going to be a coach who takes over Carolina.
Speaker 4: I mean, at some point there's only going to be
Speaker 4: two jobs available, and Mike Rabel is going to be
Speaker 4: one of the candidates for those two jobs. It feels
Speaker 4: like that's Washington and that might be the place, but
Speaker 4: Carolina or Washington for Mike Vrabel. And when he got fired,
Speaker 4: what was the response, Oh, he could get a job tomorrow. Okay,
Speaker 4: it's like Mike McCarthy, Oh, if he gets fired, he'll
Speaker 4: get a job tomorrow, which I went, no, I don't think.
Speaker 4: So he doesn't bring twelve wins to Carolina. He doesn't
Speaker 4: bring twelve wins to Washington. They did win twelve games
Speaker 4: in Dallas. Well, those rosters are dead. It's not like
Speaker 4: you go, hey, you plug in Mike McCarthy, you're getting
Speaker 4: twelve wins. No, that's not the case. But I think
Speaker 4: there's if we're pointing fingers, you can't point all the
Speaker 4: fingers at Mike McCarthy. It wasn't clock management in the
Speaker 4: loss to Green Bay. Now you can say they weren't prepared,
Speaker 4: and it felt like they weren't prepared. Green Bay had
Speaker 4: a better game plan and Dallas seems surprised by that
Speaker 4: game plan. All right, poll question for an hour two
Speaker 4: seat and anything else that you're pondering here.
Speaker 5: Well, we have a lot of Dallas Mike McCarthy poll questions. Okay, Well,
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones regret keeping Mike McCarthy, Ay, yes or no,
Speaker 5: that's tough to say.
Speaker 4: See Jerry, his coaches become his friend and they probably
Speaker 4: have beers in nachos every Friday. And Jason Garrett was
Speaker 4: a friend, probably beauted him as his sun.
Speaker 2: Sometimes.
Speaker 4: You know, it's you can't hire somebody you can't fire.
Speaker 4: That's really just a you know, a standard work philosophy.
Speaker 4: If you're running a successful business, you can't hire somebody
Speaker 4: where you go, I can't fire him. Yeah, you can
Speaker 4: because it's a bottom line business. And while their bottom
Speaker 4: line is, you know whatever, ten billion dollar company here,
Speaker 4: you're still not winning. You if they won, do you
Speaker 4: think how successful they become And they don't even win,
Speaker 4: they don't win anything that's power. Imagine if they win
Speaker 4: a championship. All right, couple of phone calls here Michael
Speaker 4: and Indiana. Hey Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey? Dan?
Speaker 10: Five to eleven? A medium rare one eight. Okay, I
Speaker 10: just wanted to followup on the whole horns down thing.
Speaker 10: You know, I think if you're a Texas fan at
Speaker 10: this point, you should just expect it, right, people are
Speaker 10: gonna do it. I think Texas fans may be one
Speaker 10: of the softest fan bases out there, and wanted to
Speaker 10: get your opinion on, you know, if Texas is the
Speaker 10: top softest fan base, even though everyone in Texas is
Speaker 10: apparently super tough. But who else what other fan base
Speaker 10: is out there across all sports or maybe categorize?
Speaker 4: Okay, I didn't think i'd be talking about softest franchises, yes, point,
Speaker 4: I don't think I.
Speaker 8: Would use the words soft as much as touchy, sensitive,
Speaker 8: sensitive or touchy.
Speaker 2: Fan bas Yeah.
Speaker 8: You know, we do this for a living, and when
Speaker 8: we poke a fan base there's some that react and
Speaker 8: react with anger. I would throw out Ohio State football
Speaker 8: fans no matter what you say about them. It sometimes can't.
Speaker 8: It doesn't work, even if it's some type of compliment
Speaker 8: and I have nothing else what has it? But I've
Speaker 8: noticed that in our reactions when we do stuff on
Speaker 8: the show, there's one I'll throw it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have a bias with any of these
Speaker 4: fan bases. I truly don't you know. I'm not in
Speaker 4: the growing up in Ohio. I understand, you know, when
Speaker 4: you talk bad about the Buckeyes and people want to
Speaker 4: come after you.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 4: But my job is not to placate people. It's to
Speaker 4: give you an opinion. And Texas I didn't grow up
Speaker 4: in the environment. But it's like, okay, don't give me
Speaker 4: horns up. If they can't give you horns down and
Speaker 4: you had a bad night, now you're going to say
Speaker 4: to the head coach of Central Florida, guys, let's not
Speaker 4: do that. We're better than that. Okay, fine, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: leave it with the two parties there. But you know
Speaker 4: they're doing it because they want to get to you.
Speaker 4: And then you let them get to you, and then
Speaker 4: they're going to continue to do it. And if you
Speaker 4: think you played big boy football in the Big twelve,
Speaker 4: now you go to the SEC. Get ready is there
Speaker 4: it's gonna happen. I wouldn't be I wouldn't be as sensitive.
Speaker 4: You know, when you when you're facing LSU at night,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess you're gonna get down there in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 4: Just guessing, just guessing you're gonna get a little bit
Speaker 4: of that. Dug in North Carolina. Hi, Doug, what's on
Speaker 4: your mind?
Speaker 11: Private jets are on my mind this morning, Darren. Yesterday
Speaker 11: you said on the program that you've heard that Jim
Speaker 11: Harball may be asking for stuff that is not football related.
Speaker 11: And one of the things that I think it may
Speaker 11: be is jet travel. In his current Michigan contract, he
Speaker 11: gets somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty or forty hours
Speaker 11: on the team's private jet for personal use. They have
Speaker 11: a jet for him to do recruiting, and I don't
Speaker 11: know how how does Mike Tomlin or an NFL coach
Speaker 11: travel for personal use. Do they have private jets or
Speaker 11: the flying first class? I think giving up a private
Speaker 11: jet would be really hard to part with.
Speaker 2: Well, but they're recruiting.
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin's not getting on a plane in the off
Speaker 4: season and flying around to recruits, whereas Jim Harbaugh is.
Speaker 4: It gets a necessity that you can get from point
Speaker 4: A to point B and do it on your own
Speaker 4: time instead of you know, waiting in the line, you know,
Speaker 4: at hurts to get a rental car or you know,
Speaker 4: getting on a plane Jet Blue. It's just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4: You know, Lincoln Riley got that when he went to US. See,
Speaker 4: there are a lot of coaches who have that. There's
Speaker 4: always going to be a plane available to you, whether
Speaker 4: it's the school or it's a billionaire. You know, the
Speaker 4: billionaire is going to want to go with you, and
Speaker 4: he's going to want to see what you're doing and
Speaker 4: talk to the coach and you can use my playing.
Speaker 2: He wants access there.
Speaker 4: But I don't think that's a reason why Jim Harbaugh
Speaker 4: is going to stay at Michigan or not stay at
Speaker 4: Michigan because of the private jet. He's going to have
Speaker 4: access to that, But you're not flying around recruiting kids
Speaker 4: where I need to be there Friday night and come
Speaker 4: back on Saturday. And this is in the off season.
Speaker 4: Hey I got to go see you know this family,
Speaker 4: this kid. It's just not how it works. Let's see,
Speaker 4: So Peter King will join us coming up here rough
Speaker 4: week for Alabama. By the way, the transfer portal NIOL
Speaker 4: that used to be their friend, certainly the transfer portal,
Speaker 4: but not the case anymore. There are some players who
Speaker 4: aren't going to stay around to see what kind of
Speaker 4: coach Kaitlin Debor is. So this is it's been eight days,
Speaker 4: eight days, and Saban is still around the program. But
Speaker 4: you have players, and these are big time players, and
Speaker 4: they are in the transfer portal. You're also getting this
Speaker 4: there's negotiations going on. Hey I'll stay, they want a
Speaker 4: better deal if not. And let's face it, you know
Speaker 4: you went there for Nick Saban, You're playing for Nick Saban.
Speaker 4: You're going to play in big games. It's not a
Speaker 4: foregone conclusion that Alabama stays Alabama because you have seen
Speaker 4: programs die decay when they don't have that coach that
Speaker 4: they once had. And I think that's something that Alabama
Speaker 4: is going to realize. Used to be, Alabama decided who
Speaker 4: they wanted. Like UCLA basketball back in the sixties and seventies,
Speaker 4: they decided if they wanted you, you're trying to recruit them,
Speaker 4: Hey what about me? Kentucky? It felt like Kentucky got
Speaker 4: whoever they wanted. There's certain schools and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, you lose a little bit of that luster,
Speaker 4: or you're not winning, or your coach decides to leave
Speaker 4: or in this case retires, then it's different. These kids
Speaker 4: were going there to play for Nick Saban. You're going
Speaker 4: to Georgia, you play for Kirby Smart. Yes, Marv, It's.
Speaker 12: Kind of like Florida when Irbi Meyer was there. I
Speaker 12: was like, look if he had stayed there. Yeah, they
Speaker 12: probably run off a Sabin like run because they were
Speaker 12: on fire.
Speaker 4: Let's see, this is from Ian Rapaport. Bill Belichick will
Speaker 4: have a second interview with the Atlanta Falcons this weekend.
Speaker 4: It'll be uh, let's see, things are ramping up with
Speaker 4: the greatest coach.
Speaker 2: Of all time. So that's Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 4: I think all signs lead towards Atlanta, and I wouldn't
Speaker 4: be surprised at all if Bill Belichick is by this
Speaker 4: time next week is the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 4: All right, take a break. We'll get Peter King's thoughts
Speaker 4: on this. We're back after this in The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Hey, what's up, everybody.
Speaker 13: It's me three time Pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I
Speaker 13: couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
Speaker 13: on Game?
Speaker 2: What is up on Game?
Speaker 13: You assd along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman,
Speaker 13: Zada and Super Bowl champion. Yup, that's right, Plexico Burus.
Speaker 13: You can only name a show with that type of
Speaker 13: talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
Speaker 13: sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
Speaker 13: to Up on Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Huschman, Zada,
Speaker 13: and Plexico Burds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
Speaker 13: wherever you get your podcast problem.
Speaker 4: We'll get some more phone calls coming up. He's Peter King,
Speaker 4: the great columnist Football Morning in America and contributor to
Speaker 4: a Football Night in America. All right, Pete, let me
Speaker 4: start with the news here. Ian Rappaport saying Bill Belichick's
Speaker 4: got a second interview with the Atlanta Falcons. Do you
Speaker 4: think this is maybe a foregone conclusion that's the best
Speaker 4: place for Belichick?
Speaker 14: I don't know, Dan, I mean, you tell me, you
Speaker 14: tell me now, whether if you were Jeffrey Lurry and
Speaker 14: Howie Roseman right now, you tell me who do you
Speaker 14: want to coach your team next year? I mean, I
Speaker 14: understand that it's crazy to fire a coach eleven and
Speaker 14: a half months after he had his.
Speaker 7: Team in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 14: I get it, but you saw what happened to the Eagles.
Speaker 14: You listen to Jalen Hurtz after the game, which he
Speaker 14: gave probably the most lukewarm milk toast endorsement of a
Speaker 14: coach that you could possibly give, and you tell me
Speaker 14: there's not some issues there. That, plus the fact that
Speaker 14: Jalen Hurts played just laconic football at the end of
Speaker 14: the year. I don't know what to call it. I
Speaker 14: can't figure it out, but that word comes to mind.
Speaker 14: I guess if Atlanta is going to sprint out and
Speaker 14: you go out there and really try to seal up
Speaker 14: Bill Belichick, I suppose they'll get him. But Steth Wickersham
Speaker 14: had a great post on social media, I think it
Speaker 14: was yesterday where he said, remember how all these teams
Speaker 14: didn't go after Tom Brady when he was a free agent,
Speaker 14: and some of them really regret it. Dan, I'm telling
Speaker 14: you to this day, I believe the forty nine ers
Speaker 14: sincerely regret it. And you know so, I don't know
Speaker 14: what to say other than you can find all the
Speaker 14: ways to criticize Belichick the way you can find ways
Speaker 14: to criticize Tom Brady, you know, four years ago.
Speaker 7: But I mean, it's Tom Brady, it's Bill Belichick. So
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 14: I do think some teams are going to have regrets
Speaker 14: if the Falcons swoop in and sign them.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys decide to keep Mike McCarthy with Bill Belichick
Speaker 4: out there, how surprising is that to upgrade your coaching position.
Speaker 14: You know, look, if you've won thirty six regular season
Speaker 14: games in three years, I think you have a great
Speaker 14: argument to stay regardless of what happens in the postseason.
Speaker 14: But you know, Dan, look at three years in a row,
Speaker 14: how their season has ended and crashed and burned in
Speaker 14: Dallas against the forty nine ers two years ago, when
Speaker 14: Dak and McCarthy screwed up the clock at the end
Speaker 14: of the game, it crashed and burned in an ugly
Speaker 14: loss at San Francisco which they couldn't do anything on offense.
Speaker 14: And then, you know, look at what happened in San
Speaker 14: Francisco this year.
Speaker 7: They lose forty two to ten.
Speaker 14: So you win twelve games, But does anybody really feel
Speaker 14: at the end of this season, however, you feel about
Speaker 14: how they were just absolutely manhandled by the seventh seed
Speaker 14: in the NFC.
Speaker 7: Whatever you feel. Does anybody feel they're close to the
Speaker 7: forty nine ers? I don't, so I don't know.
Speaker 14: To me, I thought Jerry Jones was going to look
Speaker 14: at this and say, we need shock therapy. We're a
Speaker 14: good team, but we're not going to win with this
Speaker 14: current administration.
Speaker 7: But Jerry decided otherwise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, trying to figure that out.
Speaker 4: The twelve wins is great, and they could have twelve
Speaker 4: wins next year, but he doesn't mean anything unless you
Speaker 4: do something in the postseason. You could win nine games
Speaker 4: and go to the super Bowl. But yeah, you know, hey,
Speaker 4: we got twelve wins. Okay, How dangerous are you when
Speaker 4: you get to the postseason and you lose at home
Speaker 4: and you lose to one of the youngest teams that
Speaker 4: we've had in recent history and a quarterback making his
Speaker 4: postseason debut and you were never in that game.
Speaker 14: The crazy thing is Dan To me, when I think
Speaker 14: about that game, I just think that that had to
Speaker 14: be one of the most embarrassing games that Dan Quinn
Speaker 14: has ever run a defense for. And you know, you
Speaker 14: look at the end of this season, I think the
Speaker 14: last whatever eight or nine games. I figured it out
Speaker 14: the other day. They've a lot twenty five points a
Speaker 14: game in three hundred and fifty three yards. This is
Speaker 14: not I mean, it was a shocking development, no question,
Speaker 14: But that Cowboys defense has looked like the Eagles defense
Speaker 14: over the last six or seven weeks. And I don't
Speaker 14: know what that means, really, I just know that, you know,
Speaker 14: just the same way I was shocked that Jonathan Gannon
Speaker 14: got the job in Arizona last year coming off a
Speaker 14: game in which his defense gave up two of the
Speaker 14: softest touchdowns in Super Bowl history to lose the Super Bowl,
Speaker 14: and then three days later he's being introduced as the
Speaker 14: coach of the Cardinals. And again, look, Jonathan Gannon's a
Speaker 14: good coach, don't get me wrong. So maybe it should matter.
Speaker 14: Dan Quinn's a good coach, Maybe it shouldn't matter. I
Speaker 14: can't figure out how you pull an absolute no show
Speaker 14: in that game, and that's what the Dallas defense did.
Speaker 4: Talking to Peter King, I don't know other candidates who
Speaker 4: have been reported with Seattle other than Dan Quinn.
Speaker 2: Are there? Who else is in play for the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 14: That's a really good question. They've kept it very close
Speaker 14: to the vest I think they're in no hurry. I
Speaker 14: think they're doing it's the right way, quite honestly. John Schneider,
Speaker 14: he's not going to be forced into doing anything. I
Speaker 14: think the best guy for that job, without any question,
Speaker 14: is Mike Rabel. Mike Rabel will be perfect with a
Speaker 14: guy like John Schneider because John Schneider is a really
Speaker 14: good personnel guy.
Speaker 7: He'll find a quarterback for Mike Rabel.
Speaker 14: All Mike Rabel has to do is go and replicate
Speaker 14: the legion of Boom. And I'm exaggerating there, but Mike
Speaker 14: Rabel is a really, really.
Speaker 7: Good defensive coach.
Speaker 14: Can build a good defense and even when there's nothing
Speaker 14: to play for it. What happened with you against Jacksonville.
Speaker 14: They play that game like it was the seventh game
Speaker 14: of the World Series. That's what you want in your head, coach.
Speaker 14: That's what was lacking to me with Nick Sirianni over
Speaker 14: the last six weeks.
Speaker 4: We had Albert Brier on Last Hour and he said
Speaker 4: that he feels like the Chargers job is Jim Harbaughs
Speaker 4: if he wants it.
Speaker 14: What do you think I think it is too the
Speaker 14: Chargers have to do it, Dan, There's no question about it.
Speaker 7: They don't have a choice.
Speaker 14: They have just gone from hiring an inexperienced a head
Speaker 14: coach in Brandon Staley and it didn't work, and now
Speaker 14: they're in some trouble with a quarterback who's a franchise
Speaker 14: quarterback and all you ever do is go five hundred
Speaker 14: there on average. I think they need the fire alarm
Speaker 14: is going off in their building and they need help.
Speaker 14: And I do think that Harbaugh is going to be
Speaker 14: the guy, just assuming that they can get the contract done.
Speaker 2: The Washington job with the number two pick.
Speaker 4: Overall, it feels like that's a really good opportunity to
Speaker 4: step into. But you would know better than I would have.
Speaker 4: What there Are they going to get an established coach,
Speaker 4: a former coach.
Speaker 14: I think it's more likely they get an offensive brain.
Speaker 14: I think when I sort of project all of these jobs,
Speaker 14: the one person for that job, oh, I think would
Speaker 14: be ideal as Ben Johnson from Detroit. You see what
Speaker 14: he's done with Jared Goff. He's done a fantastic job
Speaker 14: with golf. Golf was so tremendous. The other night I
Speaker 14: was in the building and I just I'll just tell
Speaker 14: you this. There there was a tenseness at the start
Speaker 14: of that game. There was that place. I wrote it
Speaker 14: in my column. At one point they have one of
Speaker 14: those decibel meters, and the decibel meter was at one eighteen.
Speaker 14: I mean, that's louder than Seattle, or maybe just as
Speaker 14: loud now it's a dome. But that is the same
Speaker 14: noise that you hear if you were standing, which we
Speaker 14: would never do. If you're standing on the runway and
Speaker 14: a seven thirty seven is taking off right there as
Speaker 14: it passes by, That's what the noise was and it
Speaker 14: never stopped. Dan Quinn told me seventy five minutes before
Speaker 14: the game the hair on the back of his neck
Speaker 14: is standing up because he's never been in an environment
Speaker 14: like that at.
Speaker 7: That point before the game.
Speaker 14: But I think Ben Johnson would be a really good candidate.
Speaker 14: They're going to take a quarterback number two almost certainly,
Speaker 14: so let Ben Johnson work with one of those guys,
Speaker 14: Drake may, Pennix, Caleb Williams, whatever happens. And that's what
Speaker 14: I would do if I were them.
Speaker 4: The odds of Carolina getting an established coach.
Speaker 7: I mean, Dan who wants to coach in Carolina.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
Speaker 14: I mean, who wants to go to work for David Temper?
Speaker 14: Tell me, I would like to know. There's a lot
Speaker 14: of people who would say, oh, I'll take that job,
Speaker 14: and look, they'll get somebody good. I mean, if I
Speaker 14: were them, I'd go hard after Louie and Rouma. He
Speaker 14: got job last year. He is an excellent football coach.
Speaker 14: He will build a great defense and he'll figure it
Speaker 14: out on offense. But I think Louis and Arumo would
Speaker 14: be a great choice there. He'd establish some toughness right away,
Speaker 14: some credibility. But I also think that they have to
Speaker 14: be looking at somebody the salvage Bryce Young. And look,
Speaker 14: I'm so tired of hearing Bryce Young's a buss, What
Speaker 14: a terrible choice?
Speaker 7: All that stuff.
Speaker 14: How would you know if you're running for your life
Speaker 14: every snap. I mean, it's ridiculous to say that Bryce
Speaker 14: Young's a waste. It's stupid, and he still has a chance,
Speaker 14: I think, to be really good in the NFL. They
Speaker 14: just have to prioritize the offensive line above all.
Speaker 4: The situation with the Colts with Jim Irsay, obviously sensitivity there,
Speaker 4: but the NFL, how do you handle something like that
Speaker 4: with Jim Ersay's health situation.
Speaker 14: If indeed that it is substance abuse related, I think
Speaker 14: they have to.
Speaker 7: Treat this with some care.
Speaker 14: I mean, obviously they'll treat it with care, but they
Speaker 14: also have to treat it like you know, you can't
Speaker 14: have different rules for an owner that you have for
Speaker 14: you know, a coach or a player. And in my opinion,
Speaker 14: I think the NFL is going to have to find
Speaker 14: a way to massage this and to gently find a
Speaker 14: way to make sure he gets X amount of treatment
Speaker 14: and that there is probably at some point some discipline
Speaker 14: involved if it is what it appears to be. But again,
Speaker 14: I think we're so early in the story we may
Speaker 14: end up finding out that it isn't what everybody says
Speaker 14: it is right now, So I think we have to
Speaker 14: be cautious about making any final judge on that right now.
Speaker 4: Good to talk to you, Pete save travels this weekend.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Hey all the best. Did good to talk
Speaker 4: to you. That's Peter King, Football Morning and America columnists
Speaker 4: contributor to Football Night in America. Yes, Jim er saw
Speaker 4: Jim Ersay was found unresponsive and this according to TMC
Speaker 4: and the team says it's a respiratory illness, but according
Speaker 4: to TMZ, he was found unresponsive and uh, looking at
Speaker 4: this as you know, some kind of drug overdose here.
Speaker 4: But he runs the Colts. You know, the NBA takes
Speaker 4: over a franchise, they've done this before. And you know,
Speaker 4: you know, a dire situation like this, like Jim Harball
Speaker 4: runs the Colts or Jim Ersay runs the Colts like that,
Speaker 4: that's alarming.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: And I know he's battled a drug addiction, you know,
Speaker 4: probably for the last thirty years, and has said he's
Speaker 4: been sober. Andrew Crane did to sit down with him
Speaker 4: on Real Sports on HBO and he talked about how
Speaker 4: long he had been sober but had this relapse. Reportedly
Speaker 4: a couple of phone calls in here Kurt in Michigan,
Speaker 4: Hi Kurt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6: Sporting DP unhappy winter to you in the gang? You
Speaker 6: are we sure that Belichick was going to get a job.
Speaker 6: I mean, his well ego would give me pause if
Speaker 6: I were an owner. But whatever, I don't know, I've
Speaker 6: had maybe it's against the grain.
Speaker 4: I don't know, he's but he's available. He's the greatest
Speaker 4: coach of all time. I don't know what the downside
Speaker 4: would be. And if you're the Falcons, hey, you don't
Speaker 4: have this history where you go, oh my god, he's
Speaker 4: going to stain the reputation of our friend. I mean
Speaker 4: he already did that when he was the coach of
Speaker 4: the Patriots.
Speaker 3: Oh no.
Speaker 4: But if you're Washington Carolina, of course you're gonna take him.
Speaker 4: You know, we speculated maybe Dallas would I wondered if
Speaker 4: he would go to the West coast with the Chargers.
Speaker 4: It feels like that's Jim Harballs. But I mean he
Speaker 4: wants to go in and take over a team that's
Speaker 4: ready to win. They've underachieved. The Chargers certainly fit that description,
Speaker 4: and the Falcons do as well.
Speaker 12: Yes, Mark, And if you're the Falcons, you take him
Speaker 12: for immediate relevancy, right, And so you're looking, I'm looking
Speaker 12: at their opponent schedule, primetime game Falcons Cowboys Sunday night,
Speaker 12: Monday night.
Speaker 2: They played the NFC East.
Speaker 12: Yeah, next season, so he gives you automatic relevance and
Speaker 12: you get a quarterback Russell Wilson and then.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah why not?
Speaker 12: Okay, all right, his wife's from Atlanta, Come on, okay,
Speaker 12: makes sense?
Speaker 2: Does she want to go back to Atlanta. Oh, I
Speaker 2: got a call, I got it. Yeah, yeah, because I
Speaker 2: don't know that. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Sources close to Siara say, she, what's future think about that?
Speaker 2: Keep me out of there.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's let's take a break. More phone calls coming up.
Speaker 4: We're back after this on the Dan Patrick Show. Fox
Speaker 4: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Speaker 4: Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio dot com
Speaker 4: and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen live.
Speaker 4: Lakers overcame a triple double from Luca beat the MAVs.
Speaker 4: Dallas is five and two this season. When Luca records
Speaker 4: a triple double, they were seventeen and three the previous
Speaker 4: two seasons when had a triple double. Anthony Davis has
Speaker 4: played well, you know once again Anthony Davis. He could
Speaker 4: be like the Dallas Cowboys, where you go, yep, good
Speaker 4: regular season.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see what happens in the postseason.
Speaker 4: Like, is there who would be the player comp for
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys?
Speaker 8: PAULI a player who is always good at the regular
Speaker 8: season and doesn't show up. James Harden Prime James Harden.
Speaker 8: Remember he'd run out of gas four or five years ago.
Speaker 8: No offense, Jim, but I think James Harden.
Speaker 2: Nobody calls him Jim Harden.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the postseason he's Jim Harden. Yeah. Regular season he's
Speaker 2: James James.
Speaker 8: In November, Jim in April?
Speaker 4: Is is Kyrie already trolling to go to the Lakers
Speaker 4: and play with Lebron?
Speaker 7: Is?
Speaker 2: Was he asked about that, Marvin?
Speaker 12: They were, yeah, they think there were rumor circulating that
Speaker 12: he wanted to go back during free agency and told
Speaker 12: it's like Kyrie broke up with a really hot girl
Speaker 12: when he was twenty three, and then he started dating
Speaker 12: other hot girls, but it's like they weren't as hot
Speaker 12: as as her.
Speaker 2: Okay, and now I'm regretting it, Okay, Seeton.
Speaker 5: But I like that people or that Kyrie say has
Speaker 5: shopped around a little bit, maybe learned his mistake, learned,
Speaker 5: you know what. I had a pretty good thing there
Speaker 5: and I still have the ability to maybe get it back.
Speaker 5: I'm okay with that. He's clearly working well with Luca.
Speaker 5: He's taking a back seat to Luca, and it's like, no, yeah, dude,
Speaker 5: this is your team.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, That's okay.
Speaker 4: He always want what he doesn't have maybe and then
Speaker 4: he has it, and then he wants something. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's averaging twenty five a game. But if you can
Speaker 4: get a quiet twenty five, Kyrie has given you a
Speaker 4: quiet twenty five this year. We haven't talked about the
Speaker 4: Earth being flat or any of the other conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2: And the team is good.
Speaker 4: But I just feel like the MAVs are gonna waste
Speaker 4: Luca's We're gonna wake up and go Man, he's twenty nine,
Speaker 4: hasn't done anything.
Speaker 2: I just I feel that way. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 8: I got the Mavericks at twenty four and eighteen comfortably
Speaker 8: in the seven seed. That sounds like I think I've
Speaker 8: said this lat in the past three years in a row.
Speaker 8: It's just it feels like the Denver gets if they're healthy,
Speaker 8: it's hard to picture in them not being there.
Speaker 4: But I don't think Dallas is better than Minnesota right
Speaker 4: now or Oklahoma City.
Speaker 8: Minnesota's twenty nine and eleven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, but that's a well regular season.
Speaker 2: What are you going to do in the postseason.
Speaker 4: There's certain teams and players who were built for a
Speaker 4: five game series or a seven game series, just like
Speaker 4: there's baseball teams where you go, gosh, they weren't great,
Speaker 4: but you get them into a five game series, or
Speaker 4: it comes down to a three game series. You know
Speaker 4: the Celtics. Man, look at these numbers. Celtics haven't lost
Speaker 4: at home this year. Boston has won twenty consecutive home games.
Speaker 4: That's the eleventh longest streak to start a season in
Speaker 4: NBA history, and the longest for any team since the
Speaker 4: Spurs in twenty fifteen. They won their first thirty nine
Speaker 4: home games. Warriors won their first thirty six home games.
Speaker 7: Dayaday stat Out of to day stand outa day.
Speaker 2: This is the stat of the day.
Speaker 4: Stata to day Not to you bomb Panini America. The
Speaker 4: official trading cards to the Dan Patrick Show. Uh Joe
Speaker 4: in South Bend, Hi, Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Morning Dan, Morning Joe.
Speaker 15: First time, longtime six foot and an embarrassing joyantly like
Speaker 15: two twenty five? Hey, I was just wondering if, by
Speaker 15: some slim chance, the Green Bay Packers would go on
Speaker 15: to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: How do you think Aaron Rodgers would feel?
Speaker 4: Thanks free time, Thank you dropped the mic there, Joe,
Speaker 4: the call. I think that he would be.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 2: I don't know with him. I think you say the
Speaker 2: right things.
Speaker 4: He would probably say, Hey, I reached out to Jordan
Speaker 4: Love and congratulated him.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to go.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm really happy for the GM Brian Gouda Kutzt
Speaker 4: because he won't be Matt Lafleur. He'd probably say, I'm
Speaker 4: really happy for coach some of his former teammates.
Speaker 2: I would hope he would feel that way, but I
Speaker 2: think privately be like, damn, he didn't need me.
Speaker 5: Nice You guys finally got back there without me.
Speaker 2: Brett in Orlando, Hey, Brett, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 9: Dan six ' four and I'm really working on.
Speaker 2: It, sir, alright, Alrighty.
Speaker 9: It's really important for me to say, Dan, this is
Speaker 9: my very first time calling in to y'all and it's
Speaker 9: a real honor to talk to you and the Dan.
Speaker 9: It's so much appreciation and love for y'all's work. Thank you, absolutely, sir.
Speaker 9: That being said, I'm a very deeply passionate Longhorn and
Speaker 9: was on a walk this morning and was listening in
Speaker 9: to the comments and certainly what she'd played from our
Speaker 9: head coach Rodney Terry. After the basketball game, and I
Speaker 9: just wanted to make a couple of comments Dan that
Speaker 9: I think it's it's not a great look for Rodney
Speaker 9: to kind of call out the college players or call
Speaker 9: off the Central Florda players with regards to the Horns Down.
Speaker 9: But I think it's important also to kind of differentiate
Speaker 9: that both things can be true. I'm on a real
Speaker 9: popular rival message board that certainly is representative of a
Speaker 9: large portion of long Horn fans, but certainly not everyone,
Speaker 9: and hardly anyone Dan is really bothered by the Horns down.
Speaker 7: And so.
Speaker 9: I think that has been going on for well north
Speaker 9: of the decade. And I'm fifty eight years of age.
Speaker 9: It's been going on since I can remember, but it's
Speaker 9: certainly in the last you know, twenty years, has picked
Speaker 9: up steam and now it's just a thing, myself included.
Speaker 9: I think a lot of just truly feel you take
Speaker 9: it as a compliments.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean that's the way I would view it, Brad.
Speaker 4: If they know it gets to you, they're going to
Speaker 4: continue to do it. And all the coach has to
Speaker 4: say is, hey, you know what, talk to Johnny Dawkins
Speaker 4: and his players about it.
Speaker 2: It's not my place. Let Johnny handle his own players.
Speaker 4: My players know how to handle, you know, the outcome
Speaker 4: of a game with class whatever. But if they know
Speaker 4: it gets to you, It's like when you argue with
Speaker 4: your brother and you know if you go there, there's
Speaker 4: certain things and you go there, then it's go time
Speaker 4: and you know that and that's why you do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, setn The.
Speaker 5: Thing for me that really pushed that storyline over the top,
Speaker 5: or made it actually even a storyline was years ago
Speaker 5: the Big twelve making it and unsportsman like conduct penalty
Speaker 5: is that if another the team playing Texas did that,
Speaker 5: it was now you got flagged for it. And that
Speaker 5: to me was like, this is ridiculous. This is absolutely
Speaker 5: we observed. So when it occasionally bubbles up, it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: here we go, Texas is upset again. I don't think
Speaker 5: the SEC is going to do that, but I don't
Speaker 5: think it'll be in the language of the SEC. Handbone
Speaker 5: there all right.
