Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: The video is apocalyptic. Some of the news broadcast I'm
Speaker 2: watching with what's happened in California, Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades. Man,
Speaker 2: it's heartbreaking. It's one thing when you get out of
Speaker 2: your house and you're safe and you've evacuated, but you
Speaker 2: still lost your house. And that video it is it
Speaker 2: is really really tough. It's it's devastating in more ways
Speaker 2: than one. So the firefighters, thank God for them. And
Speaker 2: I always think about this, you know, whenever you're in
Speaker 2: a hometown, you're small town and you see the firefighters
Speaker 2: out there and they'll have that day where they have
Speaker 2: their boots and they're collecting money. Think about that next time.
Speaker 2: Just think about that next time with those great people.
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, this feels like it's a yearly
Speaker 2: thing that goes on an annual thing. Unfortunately with California
Speaker 2: and these winds are whipping, I mean eighty ninety miles
Speaker 2: per hour, you're not sure where to go even when
Speaker 2: you evacuate. Talking to a friend last night at two
Speaker 2: in the morning my time, and he said, I don't
Speaker 2: know where to go in the which direction said, it's scary,
Speaker 2: so the proverbial thoughts and prayers, but certainly more than that,
Speaker 2: whatever that is, certainly more than that. But really really
Speaker 2: that you watch and you're like, that is real, and
Speaker 2: that's happening right now. It's almost like from a movie set.
Speaker 2: But it's not all right. Our job is to be
Speaker 2: a diversion. Our job is to entertain, make you laugh,
Speaker 2: make you think, make you smile, and we'll try to
Speaker 2: do that today. We got the Minister of Humor here,
Speaker 2: Fritzy in the back row. You got seat, and you
Speaker 2: got Marv, you got Paula yours truly and of course
Speaker 2: the back room guys. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
Speaker 2: thank you for downloading the app to watch the program.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show, and
Speaker 2: this first hour brought to you by Rapid Radios, the
Speaker 2: official walkie talkie of the DP Show. Instant push to

Speaker 2: keep in touch with up to two hundred staff members
Speaker 2: at one time one push of a button. Go to
Speaker 2: Rapid radios dot com up to sixty percent off and
Speaker 2: free shipping. We'll talk to Chase Daniel, the former quarterback.
Speaker 2: He'll join us from now. He's driving up from San
Speaker 2: Diego to Los Angeles and he works for Fox Sports one.
Speaker 2: So hopefully Chase will be okay commuting from San Diego
Speaker 2: up there with the fires. Mike Florio on the comings
Speaker 2: and goings here of you know, Antonio Pierce gets fired.
Speaker 2: I was not surprised that he got fired. This has
Speaker 2: Tom Brady's fingerprints all over it. In my opinion, as
Speaker 2: a minority owner, if I'm Mark Davis, it'd be crazy
Speaker 2: not to use Tom as the sounding board to say
Speaker 2: what do you think we should do, how do you
Speaker 2: think that we should approach this, and what coach do
Speaker 2: you have in mind? So Florio will join us a
Speaker 2: little bit later on as well. Got a poll question,
Speaker 2: Play of the Day, stat of the Day eight seven
Speaker 2: to seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll
Speaker 2: take your phone calls. Got a big basketball game tonight.
Speaker 2: It'll be the Thunder against the Cavaliers. Thunder the best
Speaker 2: in the West, the Caves, the best in the East.
Speaker 2: That's National TV. And then you'll have Spurs in the Bucks.
Speaker 2: So you got Wemby against the Greek freak. So maybe
Speaker 2: basketball will take the spotlight and showcase some great talent,
Speaker 2: some great teams there coming up later on tonight. Back
Speaker 2: to Antonio Pierce being fired, I didn't think he was
Speaker 2: going to keep his job because of Tom Brady coming in. Now,
Speaker 2: if they had the number one pick, then I thought, sure,
Speaker 2: he's not gonna keep his job. It's you want to
Speaker 2: come in, Okay, let's start. Let's start with a coach
Speaker 2: and maybe we get a quarterback here. I thought they
Speaker 2: were gonna go all in on Michael Pennox last year.
Speaker 2: Now they could have gotten bow Nicks, but they got
Speaker 2: Rock Bowers, who is gonna finish runner up and Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year. He was great, But you gotta find
Speaker 2: your quarterback. Now, imagine if you had your quarterback. I
Speaker 2: mean that's another thing. When you look at Rock Bowers
Speaker 2: and Malik Neighbors. They put up these unbelievable seasons with
Speaker 2: bad quarterback play, which makes it like if you're grading
Speaker 2: it on a curve, Damn that's impressive. So here are
Speaker 2: the Raiders with the sixth pick. Now, it's not a
Speaker 2: heavy quarterback draft. You're gonna have cam Ward, who right
Speaker 2: now is the favor to be the number one pick.
Speaker 2: If the Titans hold on to it, then Shador Sanders.
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna have Jalen Milroe at some point. But
Speaker 2: if you're the Raiders, are you going to get maybe
Speaker 2: somebody in free agency?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: I was talking to somebody, a former TV executive who
Speaker 2: is well connected with the owners around the league, and
Speaker 2: I'm talking to him about a couple of things, and
Speaker 2: I said, would the Raiders kick the tires on Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2: He said, well yes, and he goes, I would too,
Speaker 2: because Aaron respect for Tom Brady. Raiders, you're playing inside.
Speaker 2: Half of your games are going to be now, granted
Speaker 2: you're in the AFC West, but if you want to
Speaker 2: do that bridge quarterback there And I said, okay, Like,
Speaker 2: I just I can't get into the Aaron Rodgers business now.
Speaker 2: I just can't. And I know those are respectable numbers
Speaker 2: that he put up, but there's just so much more
Speaker 2: that's going to go with this. Now, are you like,
Speaker 2: what do you have and you bring him in? What
Speaker 2: do you like? What are your expectations? Hey, let's win
Speaker 2: five games. Hey, it doesn't matter what our record's going
Speaker 2: to be pep who are stilling to show up. We're
Speaker 2: a tourist destination. I don't know what the mindset would
Speaker 2: be for the Raiders that how quickly do they want
Speaker 2: to win? But if Tom Brady's involved in this, Tom Brady,
Speaker 2: he's not used to losing, and that's what I think.
Speaker 2: How do you expedite this? Does he bring in Mike Rabel?
Speaker 2: Does Mike Rabel? And this is another thing I asked
Speaker 2: the former TV exect. I said, does Mike Rabel turn
Speaker 2: down the Patriots as a way of showing respect to
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick? Because what happened at the very end with
Speaker 2: the Craft family in Belichick? Now? He said, yes, I
Speaker 2: could see that happening.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Once again, this is just somebody's opinion on this, because
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody really knows what goes on with
Speaker 2: the Patriots. They're pretty, you know, close to the best.
Speaker 2: But if you're Mike Brabel and you have respect for Belichick,
Speaker 2: would you want to go back to where Bill coached
Speaker 2: and created this legacy? And he's going to have I
Speaker 2: think multiple opportunities. I think Brabil will have a couple
Speaker 2: of different places to choose from, which is interesting because
Speaker 2: he was available last year, and maybe he decided that
Speaker 2: he didn't want to coach, didn't want to be a
Speaker 2: head coach, maybe wanted to kind of step back be,
Speaker 2: you know, a consultant for the Cleveland Browns. But now
Speaker 2: he's going to get that opportunity. But Brady's got to
Speaker 2: get his quarterback. That's the crazy part of this that
Speaker 2: the greatest quarterback now needs to find a quarterback and
Speaker 2: who's going to be good enough? Now? Is that where
Speaker 2: you go to Sam Darnold. That's a possibility as well.
Speaker 2: So I think there's so much going on. Then you
Speaker 2: got the Dallas Cowboy situation. Mike McCarthy. Now the Cowboys
Speaker 2: said no, you can't interview with the Chicago Bears. It's
Speaker 2: kind of interesting that in a week's time, if he's
Speaker 2: not re signed, they can't do anything about it. But
Speaker 2: then if he's not rescign and then they're not bringing like,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hold up there is. But
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones after the game on Sunday was asked about
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy interviewing elsewhere. Then I would say, go talk.
Speaker 2: I really would go talk.
Speaker 5: Sounds I just.
Speaker 2: Let Zeke do that, got it.
Speaker 6: But I don't want anybody here that's not healthy to
Speaker 6: have somebody around it wants to be someplace else.
Speaker 2: Really, it's not Okay, then why didn't you deny permission?
Speaker 2: Mike doesn't want to interview with the Bears. He'd rather
Speaker 2: stay with the Cowboys. But if you're not going to
Speaker 2: resign him and letting go interview with the Bears, mind boggling.
Speaker 2: Mind boggling. All right, Seaton, what's pole question for the
Speaker 2: first hour of the program? Well, we got a few
Speaker 2: of them here for you.
Speaker 5: Let's see, PAULI sent one over the head coachless team
Speaker 5: that feels furthest from the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Furthest from the Super Bowl head coachless, the phrase that
Speaker 2: sounds weird. Look at this, we're head coachless. How's the
Speaker 2: rest of the body? Okay, well, let me think about that.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll do that in a few minutes. Okay, what
Speaker 2: else do you have?
Speaker 3: Seed?
Speaker 5: Uh, let's see, we have better gig Fox Broadcaster or
Speaker 5: Raiders front office.
Speaker 2: Well, he is a part owner, so that's different than
Speaker 2: and they kept Tom toe LESCo as their GM. I
Speaker 2: just see Brady as a one and done. He does
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and then he decides that he's going
Speaker 2: to be more involved with the Raiders. I just don't
Speaker 2: see Tom sort of in and like one foot in,
Speaker 2: one foot out with the Raiders. I just he's too
Speaker 2: much of a competitor. And it's one thing you can
Speaker 2: compete in this business, like I compete with myself every day.
Speaker 2: We compete, you know, with ourselves each day. But this
Speaker 2: is different. These are wins and losses with Tom and
Speaker 2: creating something, building something, and I think that would probably
Speaker 2: intrigue him as opposed to being a broadcaster. I mean,
Speaker 2: Tom can be at a certain level and he knows
Speaker 2: that there'll just be people who don't like him just
Speaker 2: because he's Tom Brady or he beat their team or
Speaker 2: whatever it might be. You know, Tom is competing against Tom,
Speaker 2: and I think that I don't know if he gets
Speaker 2: the same kind of adrenaline rush now he will when
Speaker 2: you do a playoff game, when you do the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: Tom's going to be like, oh my god, that was awesome,
Speaker 2: but it's still not that awesome of playing in it.
Speaker 2: Or you're part of a team. Now it's a different team.
Speaker 2: It's the Fox broadcast team. But he's used to winning
Speaker 2: and losing and when you get done with the show,
Speaker 2: only you decide if you've won or lost. Hey, how
Speaker 2: did I sound? Was that good? This is different with
Speaker 2: the Raiders, yes see.
Speaker 5: But if his plan was to be part of the
Speaker 5: Raiders organization, right, he's a minority owner, but he wants
Speaker 5: to be involved in the day to day operations. Why
Speaker 5: would you sign a ten year contract at Fox?
Speaker 2: Well, he got that before he got the Raiders situation.
Speaker 2: He didn't know that was going to be approved. Now,
Speaker 2: once again, I don't have any information on that, but
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking. I think Tom realized broadcasting is a
Speaker 2: little bit tougher than he thought. The thing he thought,
Speaker 2: you know what, this is fun. I'm around the game,
Speaker 2: and I've been around a lot of former players and
Speaker 2: former coaches who realize that those who make it look easy,
Speaker 2: that's how they stand out. Those are the stars. It's
Speaker 2: not easy. But when you make like John Madden made
Speaker 2: it seem like, oh man, you just kidding them that, mom,
Speaker 2: But it was so much more than that, Like you
Speaker 2: have to put in your time. Tom can't even go
Speaker 2: and be in these meetings now, Like he can't even
Speaker 2: be there to talk to these people, like, you know,
Speaker 2: the analysts, normally do. So I think Tom it was
Speaker 2: an offer he couldn't refuse. And then I think he
Speaker 2: probably realizes that all right, I kind of like it,
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of fun, but nothing compares to competing,
Speaker 2: and he's one of the ultimate competitors. And that's why
Speaker 2: I think. And look, Andrew Marshawn of you know, the
Speaker 2: media critic, he's the one who brought it up and said, hey,
Speaker 2: he thinks Tom's going to be one and done. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 7: If you had this could be a five minute poll question.
Speaker 7: If you had a bet that Tom Brady has one
Speaker 7: job a year.
Speaker 2: From now, which would it be the Raiders?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: The competitive angle, yeah, yeah once once again.
Speaker 2: You know, I was around Drew Brees and when you're
Speaker 2: when you're in the studio, it's sterile. And that's what
Speaker 2: it's really jolting for these former coaches and players.
Speaker 3: It's like.
Speaker 2: You're watching these games and then you talk a little
Speaker 2: bit about them with highlights and analysis. But if you
Speaker 2: go to games, broadcast games, there's a whole different energy
Speaker 2: when you walk in. And I thought, okay, maybe that
Speaker 2: can replicate something that Tom had when he played. That
Speaker 2: feeling and I man, I like this. I think he
Speaker 2: realized it's a little bit tougher the critics. You know,
Speaker 2: you can't just go out there and say I'm gonna
Speaker 2: throw a touchdown pass. It doesn't work that way. Or man,
Speaker 2: wait till they get this analysis. And Tom is working
Speaker 2: with somebody who is trying to help him bring up
Speaker 2: things that nobody else is bringing up, Like he wants
Speaker 2: to get that he's a competitor there. And I was
Speaker 2: told that he works with somebody at Fox and they're
Speaker 2: trying to give him these stats, you know, things that
Speaker 2: he can work on bring up. And then it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, I see what you're doing there, Tom, Yes, Ton.
Speaker 4: Is he more concerned about his look or how he
Speaker 4: sounds in.
Speaker 2: The air, I don't know. I mean, I think his
Speaker 2: looks are all set, I think, but though, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty good for a little clearly. I
Speaker 2: think in the next ten years he'll look pretty good.
Speaker 3: Still.
Speaker 2: His voice, his voice is something that you know it
Speaker 2: he doesn't have that great voice, But I don't know
Speaker 2: if that would factor in it all. I think this
Speaker 2: is just Tom. Get a coach in there, maybe get
Speaker 2: Mike Rabel in there, and then you find your quarterback,
Speaker 2: and then this is a different way of kind of
Speaker 2: differentiating you from anybody else. You know, Elway tried to
Speaker 2: do it, it didn't work out. Now others have tried
Speaker 2: to be part of a franchise, and certainly great quarter
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame courter of Dan Marino's with the Dolphins.
Speaker 2: This is something where if you create something like this,
Speaker 2: I think you just put that on the resume. It's
Speaker 2: another thing to put on the resume and say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I did that, did you yeah?
Speaker 7: Pulling as journalist Tom Brady just last night posted a
Speaker 7: picture on vacation. He's at the beach with a football
Speaker 7: in his hand. He goes, man, it's January. I got
Speaker 7: to see how the army is, see if I can
Speaker 7: still do it like for fun. He's just goofing around.
Speaker 7: But of course he's shirtless than he looks. The lighting
Speaker 7: is just perfect. Yeah, but he could still play, that's
Speaker 7: the thing.
Speaker 2: He looks lean.
Speaker 1: He will.
Speaker 2: He will be the best quarterback in the building with
Speaker 2: the Raiders next year. Even if they bring in Sam
Speaker 2: Darnold Tom or bring in Rogers. He Tom would probably think,
Speaker 2: you know, I could probably do this. It's just you know,
Speaker 2: this is and I wouldn't rule it out after watching
Speaker 2: Lebron last night. Now it's different. Lebron's you know, freakish
Speaker 2: the dunk that he had against the MAVs. But you know,
Speaker 2: in his mind, Tom probably goes, I could still do it.
Speaker 2: Only forty I'm only forty seven. I can see that,
Speaker 2: all right. Glad you're with us and whatever role we
Speaker 2: play in your lives on a daily basis, certainly those
Speaker 2: of you in Los Angeles, hopefully we can be a
Speaker 2: diversion for you today.

Speaker 2: That's Covino and Rich. We spoke with Kyle Hamilton yesterday
Speaker 2: after practice and he is a two time Pro Bowl
Speaker 2: safety for the Ravens and a Notre Dame grad as well,
Speaker 2: played under Marcus Freeman is his defensive coordinator. And I
Speaker 2: started out by asking Kyle Hamilton which game does he
Speaker 2: feel more confident about the Ravens against the Steelers or
Speaker 2: is Fighting Irish playing tonight against Penn State.
Speaker 3: You know, taking one step by a time.
Speaker 9: So Notre Dame is tomorrow, so I'm worried about that
Speaker 9: Notre Dame game tomorrow. I got a few Penn State
Speaker 9: people talking a little trash, but you know, I said,
Speaker 9: it's they had a good season. They it's kind of
Speaker 9: a cool story. They came this far. Get the program, storry,
Speaker 9: but we got bigger things to do.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Do you have I think three teammates who went to
Speaker 2: Penn State? Are there any side bets on this game?
Speaker 9: A ton of bragging rights, because that's all anybody does
Speaker 9: is about their college. But you know, come Friday morning,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna be really loud.
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman looks like he could still play Kyle.
Speaker 9: I think he's only about thirty.
Speaker 3: Five something like that?
Speaker 2: Is he?
Speaker 3: But he that up?
Speaker 2: But around there I think he was pretty intend, was he?
Speaker 2: He was what defensive coordinator when you were there?
Speaker 3: Yeah? He was my DC?
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 9: It was cool to have a DC that was closer
Speaker 9: in age to us than our head coach and can
Speaker 9: kind of relate, been in it and can relay the
Speaker 9: messages very well.
Speaker 2: Does do you get to tackle Lamar Jackson or Jerrick Henry?
Speaker 3: No? I mean I wish I could, more so than Derek.
Speaker 2: But you don't want to tackle Derrick Henry.
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, that's that's uh. You know, when he has
Speaker 9: to do so, you know, you gotta do what you
Speaker 9: gotta do. But I'm glad he's on the Ravens.
Speaker 2: Okay, But that's where you make a business decision. If
Speaker 2: he was playing on the Titans, have you made business
Speaker 2: decisions when you're tackling somebody.
Speaker 9: I feel like you can't really do that because if
Speaker 9: you try to do that, then you know you're just
Speaker 9: gonna get embarrassed.
Speaker 2: Well you can't admit it, but in your mind it's like, God,
Speaker 2: this is gonna hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, But most of the time you get up next
Speaker 9: play and then you forget about it.
Speaker 2: But trying to corral Lamar, I mean, how tough is that?
Speaker 2: And he's your teammate.
Speaker 9: Yeah, obviously I can't speak from experience other than faul Camp,
Speaker 9: but even then, when he's going fifty percent Lamar, it's
Speaker 9: still tough to stop him. And you see it every
Speaker 9: single game day. It's just like, I know, the defense
Speaker 9: has to be frustrated being out there and you feel
Speaker 9: like you have the perfect play out up and you
Speaker 9: do and and then you get to him and he
Speaker 9: squirms out and runs for fifty yards that throws a
Speaker 9: sixty yard touchdown.
Speaker 3: It's just it's got to be demoralizing.
Speaker 2: Okay, if we ran a forty yard dash, who's winning
Speaker 2: on the team out of everybody?
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely not me? As I showcased at the combine.
Speaker 2: What was your time at the combine?
Speaker 3: Four or five? Nine?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're tall, you're rangy. You make up for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah that seems any care. They thought I was slow?
Speaker 2: But you know, okay, did they call you slow?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It it some of them did. But you know
Speaker 3: it worked out, and I'm right where.
Speaker 2: I need to be at your Your speed challenged is
Speaker 2: what you are.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: You're not slow, You're just speed challenge And your forty
Speaker 2: was faster than Jerry Rice's.
Speaker 3: Oh I can, all right, that's something the standing on.
Speaker 3: I can.
Speaker 9: Somebody tries to make fun of me. But forty yard
Speaker 9: dash winner on the team probably probably Keaton No Nate Wiggins,
Speaker 9: Nate Wiggins, Nate Wiggins and Keaton Mitch will be a
Speaker 9: good race.
Speaker 2: Where's Lamar in this? If we did a forty or
Speaker 2: one hundred yard.
Speaker 9: I don't think anybody's ever really seen Lamar run full speed.
Speaker 3: When he does.
Speaker 9: He's super fast, so I probably put it I say
Speaker 9: that Lamar runs around high four to three.
Speaker 2: He's Kyle Hamilton, the Ravens safety, two time Pro bowler
Speaker 2: and a former Notre Dame fighting Irishman. The difference between
Speaker 2: playoff practice in a regular season practice is.
Speaker 3: What, honestly not much at least for us.
Speaker 9: You know, we try to take that mindset and every
Speaker 9: single week so we don't get to the playoffs and
Speaker 9: then change what we're doing. It's something that I think
Speaker 9: the Ravens have done a great job of. Coach Harbor,
Speaker 9: everybody in the facility and everybody on the staff is
Speaker 9: just you know, we're kind of built for this at
Speaker 9: this point.
Speaker 3: It's just business as usual. So going on Saturday and
Speaker 3: do we need to do?
Speaker 2: Are you preparing for both quarterbacks? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's kind of something that you got
Speaker 9: to prepare for because they deploy justin fields when you know,
Speaker 9: kep driven run stuff and obviously he's still a quarterback,
Speaker 9: can still throw the ball, so you know, you'd ever
Speaker 9: know how the game is gonna go and say.
Speaker 3: You got to prepared to be prepared for everything.
Speaker 2: Best wide receiver you faced this season was who.
Speaker 9: Mmmm, that's a good question. You know, CD's pretty good.
Speaker 9: I'm forgetting somebody. I will always say it wasn't this season,
Speaker 9: but last season. Pookinakua is probably one of the more
Speaker 9: underrated people in the league.
Speaker 3: Just playing against him. He's physical, he's tough.
Speaker 9: Makes great catches, runs good routes and you know, now
Speaker 9: a lot of people give him credit for what he does.
Speaker 9: And that's one person that really stuck out to me
Speaker 9: last year.
Speaker 2: But but Kyle, I watched him play and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: how did everybody miss on Pookinakoula being a great wide receiver,
Speaker 2: even a good wide receiver in the NFL?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think he had somewhat of a
Speaker 9: sub par combine or something coming out, maybe mesurables, But
Speaker 9: I think people get stuck in the numbers a little
Speaker 9: too much and forget that.
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta play FOOTBA at the end of
Speaker 3: the day. He's definitely good football player.
Speaker 2: Jim Harball is quirky weird. Is John Harball quirky weird?
Speaker 3: Honestly, I don't think so.
Speaker 9: I think he was probably the cooler brother growing up,
Speaker 9: even though Jim was the NFL quarterback.
Speaker 3: You know John was still the older brother, and nah,
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like he kind of has those.
Speaker 9: Older brother qualities and Jim has those younger brother qualities.
Speaker 2: Does John say goofy things though?
Speaker 9: Yeah, he does goofy, borderline corny. Yeah, he tries, and
Speaker 9: we appreciate him trying to have a little satirical side
Speaker 9: to him, but you know, sometimes he is.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a hit or miss with him.
Speaker 2: Well, congrats so far, good luck against the Steelers, and
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Dad, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: That's Kyle Hamillon the Ravens Safety.
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 WAP.
Speaker 2: We say good morning to the Arizona State head football
Speaker 2: coach Kenny Dillingham. Had an unbelievable season, took Texas to
Speaker 2: a couple overtimes before being bounced from the postseason. Kenny,
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us. How many times have you watched
Speaker 2: that game?
Speaker 4: Too many? Way, way too many? Probably ten to twelve times.
Speaker 2: But what are you trying to get out of that
Speaker 2: when you watch?
Speaker 6: To be honest, just what tips did they have to
Speaker 6: give their players an advantage. And if we ever played
Speaker 6: them again, what could we do to give our players
Speaker 6: an advantage?
Speaker 4: I mean nothing more or less than that.
Speaker 2: Do you watch alone?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 2: Do you drink beers when you're want? I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: can you have a little bit of fun when you're
Speaker 2: watching this coach?
Speaker 4: Sometimes? Usually when you win, you do that. When you lose,
Speaker 4: you try to drown in the sorrows.
Speaker 2: But what is it that you could have done? If
Speaker 2: I say you get one mulligan? What would you have
Speaker 2: done differently?
Speaker 6: I would have had not called a timeout on the
Speaker 6: fourth and one in overtime. I would have let the
Speaker 6: play eat and it would have converted, and I would
Speaker 6: have had a time out to say for the fourth
Speaker 6: and twelve when yours checked out of it out into
Speaker 6: a cover zero beater.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say something about the targeting.
Speaker 2: No call there.
Speaker 4: I can't control that.
Speaker 2: How painful is that to watch? Because I thought it
Speaker 2: was you could have picked a penalty either defenseless receiver
Speaker 2: or you could have done targeting, and they gave you
Speaker 2: neither of those. What do you see when you see
Speaker 2: that play now over and over?
Speaker 4: I think I see the same thing that everybody sees.
Speaker 4: That's just it is what it is. Though that's sport.
Speaker 6: There's miss calls, there's calls all There's probably five of
Speaker 6: their calls in the game that nobody talks about that
Speaker 6: probably could have gone against us. So I don't like
Speaker 6: to use those moments as excuses, even though they're the
Speaker 6: big moments and they're what everybody should talk about, because
Speaker 6: people only talk about the big plays, the big moments,
Speaker 6: the big no calls, the big mate calls, whatever it is.
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of things I could have done
Speaker 4: better to help our football team.
Speaker 2: If Ryan Day reached out to you today and said, hey,
Speaker 2: got any tips for me facing Texas, what would you
Speaker 2: tell him?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's on They're they're very physical on the perimeter. Uh,
Speaker 6: They're they're really good tacklers. And I think that's a
Speaker 6: great skill. I think it's one thing you see on tape,
Speaker 6: but like when you see it live, the size and
Speaker 6: the tackling ability, Uh, it's different. Then I would say
Speaker 6: you have to have an ability to check when when
Speaker 6: yours checks. You can't let Quens check Texas and the
Speaker 6: good football plays and uh and not change the look.
Speaker 6: So you better create a mechanism defensively to check when
Speaker 6: he checks.
Speaker 2: Okay, explain how you then can counteract when yours is
Speaker 2: going to check and change the play. Then what is
Speaker 2: your job?
Speaker 4: So you could have like a dual call.
Speaker 6: So basically you say we're going to run field blitz
Speaker 6: and we're going to run cover four and if the
Speaker 6: quarterback checks, then we're going to change from our field blitz.
Speaker 4: Call to automatically changing to cover four.
Speaker 6: So he made a check based off of field blitz
Speaker 6: and he wants the perfect play versus that we're now
Speaker 6: going to a complimentary call. So having a way just
Speaker 6: like offenses have a way to when you hear kill
Speaker 6: kill and the quarterbacks say that he's changing calls based
Speaker 6: off the look.
Speaker 4: Same thing for a defense.
Speaker 2: But the fourth and thirteen touchdown did he check out
Speaker 2: of something?
Speaker 4: He did?
Speaker 6: He checked out of a call in which we felt
Speaker 6: really good about what we were doing into a call
Speaker 6: later on the clock, and you know he didn't.
Speaker 4: Unbelievable check and then they executed really well.
Speaker 2: What did you think of the Notre Dame Penn State game?
Speaker 6: Unbelievable game. I think Marcus Freeman's an absolute stud of
Speaker 6: a human being. I've been going versus m since I
Speaker 6: was at Florida State when he was the defensive coordinator
Speaker 6: and he was a phenomenal coach then, and I think
Speaker 6: the way he leads people, I think you can see
Speaker 6: his guys play really hard.
Speaker 2: Do you have a clock management guy like Marcus Freeman
Speaker 2: has a guy right next to him. Do you have
Speaker 2: a guy whose only job is to give you clock management?
Speaker 4: I did. It was Matt Butterfield.
Speaker 6: He just took the full time special teams coordinator job
Speaker 6: though elsewhere, so I'm hiring.
Speaker 4: So if you ever want to hang it out the
Speaker 4: clock management guy, let me know.
Speaker 2: I like the colors and I like the climate. I
Speaker 2: just don't know what it pays, not what you mean.
Speaker 2: He's the Arizona State head coach Ken Dillingham joining us
Speaker 2: on the program. I'm going to ask Bill Kauer about this.
Speaker 2: We see this with Dan Campbell other coaches. They create
Speaker 2: a culture. It feels like you're creating a culture, But
Speaker 2: I don't know how you go about creating that culture.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think for us, we pick our players, right, We
Speaker 6: recruit our players. So for us, it's recruiting guys that
Speaker 6: are like minded, you know, our three pillars of our
Speaker 6: program are.
Speaker 4: Be a good person. It's very simple to be a
Speaker 4: good person, make good decisions.
Speaker 6: It's very simple to make good decisions and then have
Speaker 6: more fun, working harder than anybody in the country.
Speaker 4: So what is our culture?
Speaker 6: We better recruit to people that when they walk around
Speaker 6: the building, they have a smile on their face, they're
Speaker 6: excited to be here, they crack a joke, you know,
Speaker 6: they have personality because I really think when you get
Speaker 6: people around you that personality, you wake up and you
Speaker 6: may have a down day and that person is going
Speaker 6: to lift you higher than you would have been.
Speaker 4: And that's the culture we're trying to create.
Speaker 2: First time you see Cam Skataboo, your response is your
Speaker 2: reaction is what.
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 4: This had all those yards? You know he's an underdog.
Speaker 4: There's a reason for him. And but what he's done to.
Speaker 6: Change his body and to change who he is just
Speaker 6: as a physical specimen, he's the strongest he's ever been,
Speaker 6: least body bet he's ever had, fastest he has ever been.
Speaker 6: Mindset's better than it's ever been. He went from a
Speaker 6: really really good football player to somebody who was top
Speaker 6: five in the Heisman vote. And I think he should
Speaker 6: have been higher.
Speaker 2: But so that confidence of just kind of loading him
Speaker 2: up and just say go like he's gonna he knows
Speaker 2: he's gonna get We talked to him after the loss
Speaker 2: and he said, look, I know I'm gonna get hurt.
Speaker 2: I know it's going to hurt, but I'm going to
Speaker 2: hurt you as well. Like that kind of physicality. And
Speaker 2: he said, Marshawn Lynch is sort of you know, one
Speaker 2: of his idols or who he runs.
Speaker 6: Like, Yeah, I think Scott just has that in mindset
Speaker 6: he gets into he's the nicest kid off the field,
Speaker 6: super intelligent. People think his play style, oh he's crazy.
Speaker 6: Scott is incredibly intelligent, high high IQ. And for him
Speaker 6: to flip a switch into this like no way anybody
Speaker 6: can stop me mode? And does that mean he's always
Speaker 6: not going to be stopped. No, Nobody in the history
Speaker 6: of sports ever been invincible.
Speaker 4: But it means he believes.
Speaker 6: It so much that he's going to make plays that
Speaker 6: people are like, what just happened. And every day for
Speaker 6: the last seven hundred days or whatever, seven hundred and
Speaker 6: eighty days I've coached him, he has done something at
Speaker 6: practice or in a game that I'm like, what just happened?
Speaker 4: That is incredible.
Speaker 2: How often do you go to an opposing team stadium
Speaker 2: and people question it if you really are the head
Speaker 2: coach at Arizona State?
Speaker 4: Oh the way easier question. How often do I does
Speaker 4: that not happen? I mean, I look twelve, so it's
Speaker 4: you know, when I walk around, it's just part of it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: I've been young my whole life, though I started coaching
Speaker 6: at seventeen, so I'm very used to the fact. I mean,
Speaker 6: I get stopped trying to walk into the field before
Speaker 6: the before the peach ball. They're like, you need credentials,
Speaker 6: go back and get them, and I do it. You know,
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, I'm people are doing
Speaker 6: their jobs, so people don't really recognize me.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Hopefully I look young when I'm older, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean, and people will be jealous.
Speaker 4: But right now, it's just part of it.
Speaker 2: What do you expect to happen tonight between Texas and
Speaker 2: Ohio State.
Speaker 6: I haven't watched enough Ohio State to give like a really,
Speaker 6: really good opinion. I know Texas is going to be
Speaker 6: really good on defense. I know they're not going to
Speaker 6: give up big plays. So I think the key to
Speaker 6: Ohio State, I can you think the key to the
Speaker 6: game is how do you stop Ohio State and one
Speaker 6: of the best wide receivers in college football in a
Speaker 6: long time. And you can't just double team them because
Speaker 6: Ohio State's too good to do that. So what are
Speaker 6: you doing to get the quarterback to think he's double teamed,
Speaker 6: move his eyes off of him, but him really be
Speaker 6: singled up? And I think that's one of the hidden
Speaker 6: things in the game, is the deception of him being doubled.
Speaker 6: Can you do that enough to single him up and
Speaker 6: get your hats elsewhere? For Texas and if they can,
Speaker 6: you know, I think they're both really good football teams.
Speaker 2: By the way, when we had cam on he said
Speaker 2: he checked out of that halfback option that I think
Speaker 2: he said. Your quarterback said he was banged up, don't
Speaker 2: throw me the football, and so he changed the play.
Speaker 2: Did you know that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did. I saw it live and in person, baby,
Speaker 4: and on fourth than too in the fourth quarter, So
Speaker 4: that was exciting.
Speaker 3: But he's the same.
Speaker 6: Dude that punted for US last year and checked out
Speaker 6: of a punt versus USC and did this and signaled
Speaker 6: a wide.
Speaker 4: Out to run a slam and threw it to him
Speaker 4: for a first down.
Speaker 6: Same dude that caught a toss, scrambled backward ninety seven yards,
Speaker 6: realized he was going to lose yards and threw the
Speaker 6: ball away.
Speaker 4: His football IQ.
Speaker 6: And his savviness is unbelievable for his style of plug.
Speaker 2: You strike me as a pregame speech guy.
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, we actually don't give pregame speeches. Our players
Speaker 6: give pregame speeches. This is a player run program. Our
Speaker 6: players give the pregame. Our players make the decisions. I
Speaker 6: am literally a surrogate between the leadership.
Speaker 4: Council and the players, and my job is to help.
Speaker 6: The leadership council make the best decisions for the football team.
Speaker 6: But I do not run the show here. Our players
Speaker 6: run the show. I just help them get to the
Speaker 6: best decisions.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, Well, like, is there a cut off
Speaker 2: point of what they are allowed to do? And say, like,
Speaker 2: do they have total autonomy here?
Speaker 6: I mean, if they're going to do something that is bad,
Speaker 6: I'm going to say no, we're not doing that, you know.
Speaker 4: But if I say, do you guys think we should
Speaker 4: do this or this? And I give them options and
Speaker 4: they vote, I'm doing what they vote for.
Speaker 6: If they say, hey, we need a Monday off, we're tired,
Speaker 6: and I say, you guys know what the repercussions of
Speaker 6: this are, right, It means Tuesday has to be this high.
Speaker 6: You guys have to elevate Tuesday to another level. And
Speaker 6: they say yes, I'm like, Okay, Monday's off.
Speaker 4: I firmly believe in.
Speaker 6: Extreme ownership, especially in today's day and age, and to
Speaker 6: get a team buy in, you need team commitment, team ownership,
Speaker 6: and I think that was one thing our leadership council,
Speaker 6: the decisions they made, and they could push the team
Speaker 6: to further, my opinion, further than we thought we could go,
Speaker 6: or people thought we could go because there was such
Speaker 6: buy in, because it was team decisions, not a head
Speaker 6: coach saying we're going to.
Speaker 4: Go out and practice for two hours and thirty minutes today.
Speaker 6: In November, it was the leadership council saying, hey, we
Speaker 6: talked to coach. This is why we need to practice
Speaker 6: for two hours and thirty minutes today.
Speaker 2: Wait, when how did you learn this?
Speaker 6: I just believe in trusting people. I mean I leave,
Speaker 6: I mean I shouldn't say this, but I leave my
Speaker 6: car unlocked, like my wife hates it. I just believe
Speaker 6: in people. I truly believe that if you try to,
Speaker 6: if you give people the keys, if you truly empower people,
Speaker 6: and if you get the right people around you and
Speaker 6: you trust them and you believe in them right and
Speaker 6: you empower them, they're gonna be better versions of themselves.
Speaker 6: And that empowerment is going to take you as a
Speaker 6: unit higher than you could ever.
Speaker 4: Go by me saying run one hundred yards.
Speaker 2: Okay, if your car is gone by the end of
Speaker 2: the day, do not blame me.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lock it now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to change.
Speaker 6: My entire theory on not locking my car now because
Speaker 6: I just exposed that.
Speaker 2: Congratulations on all this success. We appreciate you.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Coach coach Kenny Dillingham Arizona State second season
Speaker 2: and they were three and nine first season, eleven to
Speaker 2: three in season two. I could buy into that.
Speaker 3: Did we just get a new favorite coach?
Speaker 4: Shot?
Speaker 2: Oh, I feel like we might have. He's there, let's go.
Speaker 2: I thought that was great.
