Yeah, play the game been some changes, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.200 Ron and Verry's obviously been like, oh yep, I thought 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.159 we could start this segment off just real quick by 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.120 just saying kind of reflecting on Ron's tenure, and you know, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.240 kind of giving the man his flowers a little bit. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.080 If there are flowers together. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.080 I would say a man who showed he can handle 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.560 adversity at the highest level. Yeah, I'm talking about physically, 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.359 mentally and emotionally. When he came in, he had a 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.000 tall task. He looked it in the face, and he 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:37.640 gave it everything. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:37.920 Yeah. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.720 Yeah, no, I agree, I look at I just look 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.080 at the whole you know, coaches coming into this, this 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.359 this particular building here, you know, this establishment. It's been tough. Yes, 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.000 So I don't try to, you know, put too much 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.960 more on him than he was the last guy, you 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.320 know when the guy before that. So he came here, 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.599 he tried to do something that hasn't been done yet 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.159 or I can say in a long time here just 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.920 to one playoffs he had only one, you know when 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.080 the season. But hey man, he did as most coaches 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.480 have tried. Yeah, and and and he was a good 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.919 guy doing so. So he he left here, you know, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.000 the same guy that I saw coming in. He was 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.120 a guy that I had a lot of I guess 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.080 you can say respect for. Yeah, and and he never 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.560 lost it with me because I've seen him go out 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.760 there and fight through a lot, and he endured a lot, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.560 you know, while doing so hats off to him. 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:24.720 Man. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.159 You know, everybody can't come in here and change things around, 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:27.600 but he tried. 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.440 And I'm glad he got the coach for the last 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.719 five games, and I think I think he lost track 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.200 of it because he had to be so much of 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.200 a manager. Yeah, I'm glad he got to physically go 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.480 in there with the players, and I think I've seen 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.359 I've seen a different glow to him when he started 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:40.599 to do it. 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.760 Yeah, you both talked about the adversity. Obviously had the 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.960 cancer when he first got here, which was crazy, and 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.240 I don't think people realized how sick he was. Then 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.039 you got the COVID year coming off the camper worst 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.320 you remember coming to the building around that time, and 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.200 like the regulations and he had. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.839 To take tests like every day, nose was red. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.640 Every day to come in. And then all the zoom 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.159 meetings and stuffing, and obviously other teams handled that adversity 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.960 as well. But that's a lot in your first year. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.960 And then obviously the non football stuff was a big 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.200 part of that third year, and then this year with 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.640 the ownership change, so not a lot of kind of 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:11.480 just straightfor. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.520 I also deal with the name change. 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:13.600 Yeah, that's a great point. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.520 You know, it was like one thing at the numb. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.000 And he and you know, like so obviously a lot 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.880 of adversity. I think he, you know, there's some times 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.719 where maybe made some questionable decisions whatever, But I think overall, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.040 I think we all agree. Really good dude, Yeah, really 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.599 kind of stayed the same the whole time. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.400 Good person. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.039 Yeah, and you know, I think a smarter football guy 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.320 than I think a lot of people want to give him. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.839 Mostly until you have a conversation with him, you never know. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.400 Yeah, right, So but I think that moves us on 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.360 to the next part of the show. So thank you, Ron, 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.640 thank you for your time marriage, but I really appreciate it. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.080 Good luck with whatever's coming forward.

But the other kind 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.440 of big point of news here is that Joss Harris 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.600 has kind of Josh Harris and the ownership group have 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.800 established this advisory committee, right, and it's got some pretty 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.640 heavy heavy hitters on the committee. Obviously Joss Harris, Mitchell Rails, 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.200 David Blitzer, Magic Johnson's on the committee, Rick Spielman, who 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.200 you know very well, and then Bob Myers. So we 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:56.960 talked about this a little bit yesterday on the Command 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.360 Center Show when we were recording it. But like, just 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.680 what is your thoughts on this group and kind of 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.040 their mission statement of finding the best head of football 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.160 operations as they can find. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.080 When the earth is in danger, they call on the Avengers. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.680 They when Loki comes down and you need something to 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.520 be fixed, you got to put a group together. And 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.960 that's what they've done. And I like the nun bias 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.480 of it. He didn't just say let's just find football guys. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.200 Let's find successful guys and no matter what they do, 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.960 and let's let them lead us. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:32.760 In the right direction. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.640 So I feel good about I love people, no matter 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.520 how how they get to say I don't know, Like 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.160 that's a powerful thing, right then. I think in the 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.400 billionaire airs rem they don't say I don't know much 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.439 because the world had proven them to be so perfect 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:50.200 at what they do. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.560 They part of the one percent of the one percent. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.640 So I love that he got this power group together 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.920 to say, point me in the right direction, help me 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.959 get the right people in life, so we can start. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.679 Because I think what they really want they want a coature. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.400 Over coach, meaning culture over coach. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.559 I think about it. No matter who's doing anything at 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.640 the Ravens, it's the same way. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.480 The same thing at Pittsburgh same way, same thing, no 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.920 matter who around, no matter what's going on. I think 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.319 that's what they want to achieve here. 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:21.520 You know, I think we get caught up in a 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.120 world where, especially us, I think in our culture, where 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.920 we was told that you got to go out here 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.640 and do this to be successful, or you have to 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.320 go out here and know this to be successful, instead 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.840 of saying that, you know, it's. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.320 No one answer or on one right answer. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.840 And when you look at most successful people, you know 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.920 it's not because they just woke up and said, oh 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.040 I'm successful, or someone gave me this. Most of them 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.880 have a group of each other that helps you know 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.000 the next man come up, and then before you know it, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.080 we all sitting up here in the room and we 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.480 can talk talk the same talk and be able to 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.640 you know, spread our wings. When I look at this, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.120 I guess you can say this avengers, you know, type 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.640 of type of that they kind of assemble. It just 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.040 shows you that you know, it's no one right way 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.199 of doing things, you know what I mean. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:09.200 You can go out. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.239 There and say, hey, all these guys have been successful 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.840 in their fields. Rather whether there's you know, Magic Johnson 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.720 and playing basketball and being a CEO and you know, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.320 owning a lot of businesses, whether it's the guy who 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.000 who assembled with the Golden State Warriors to all their 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.680 championships going to start, you know, and then you have 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.000 you guys spillman who's done it, you know on different 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:35.080 you know. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.400 Josh Josh Harris is captain of the Maryic. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.840 You know, he gon he gonna put the name, but 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.120 it just shows me that you know, you know, Josh say, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:42.640 hey man, I'm going to get all the guys who 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.160 I'm where I can, who I have rubbed elbows with 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:49.280 through my past or or present, and say see if 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.520 they can help me build this organization back to prominence. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:53.920 And I'm okay with that. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:54.160 Yeah. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.400 And I think, you know, I think the culture over 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.040 coaching or the culture I don't. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.960 Know you word of that culture of a coach. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:00.480 Yeah. 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.920 I think it's really important too, because like important, the 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.000 guys on here, right, Bob Myers, I mean, established a 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.080 tremendous culture, right. Magic Johnson has got this brand of winning. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.280 These guys that are on the ownership, the managing partners, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.280 all those kind of those people they've they've done, they've 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.240 been very successful and all those things that they've done 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.840 have been I think generated around strong cultures, and I think. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.920 All of these guys has one thing they all got 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.319 to come, longevity and whatever they do, they put that 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.760 that Golden State team together, they steal together. The core 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:36.080 three are still they understand relationships with sports and I 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.839 think a lot of people like to plug and play. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.199 Like the one thing I can say about Philadelphia, I 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.000 admire what they do, but I think sometime when they 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.240 bring in guys mid season, mid season and one thing 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.439 to just fill in the gap, sometimes it don't work 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.080 because of relationship ain't there yet. So I think that's 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.719 what all of these guys having come and they value that. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.480 No, I totally agree, and you know that, like you know, 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.280 there's a couple of names that have been reported on 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.680 according to Adam Scheffer Nick Adam Chef or excuse me, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.040 Nikki Javala and John Kime. Obviously local Kim does a 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.680 great job, so that's Nikki, but yeah, the head of 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.160 football operations guys. Names that are kind of on this 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.400 list are Will McKay, Dallas VP player Personnel, Adam Peters. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.720 That kind of that's kind of everyone's darling at the 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.800 moment in terms of people that are really excited about 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.600 from the San Francisco forty nine ers, Mike Borzingi. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.360 Is that how he said it? Forgotten? There we go? 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:24.760 That was it? 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.560 Tan a nice job from Kansas City, Ian Cunningham from Chicago, 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.040 he's assistant GM, Glenn Cook Cleveland assistant GM. And Alec 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.160 Halliby from the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:35.200 So one thing. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.640 About those names that I like a lot is you 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.880 get guys from you. We talked about the culture, right, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.440 and how that's an important it seems to be an 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.320 important part of this, of this this advisory committee right 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.240 to find this good leader. Right is these guys are 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.160 all from winning programs that have done a great job 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.040 with talent evaluation. And people say, oh what about Ian 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:59.120 Cumming and he's from Chicago, but he is actually he 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.040 started his career Baltimore. Yeah, he went to Philadelphia and 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.720 then became the So talk about having a great pedigree 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:10.439 about yeah, and again like that that position. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.560 We could have three if they trade the quarterback, if 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:13.200 they trade. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.520 About two positions in the top ten. So they so 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.000 again I think Dallas is a great job. Say what 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.920 you want about them. They found a quarterback, they found 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.200 skill players, offensive lineman, Michael Parsons obviously Adam Peter San 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.480 Francisco talk about a vision for a team like we 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.120 talked about that when we played them. They are physical 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.920 as all get out. They draft guys who are physical, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.160 They embody kind of what they want to be. You 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.720 can tell there's a strong connection there with the coaching 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.559 staff and with the offensive identity. Great job by them, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.600 Kansas City. I mean, it's hard for me to kind 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.240 of point Kansas City out because they have Patrick Mahomes, 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.240 so it's like they can cover up all their personnel 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.600 issues with that. But very successful, hard, undeniable. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.840 How I think when you look at these guys. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.160 The one thing about the price of success people, that's 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.520 how you break Champ your chip teams up. You need 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.640 to go steal the players, you go steal the person else. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:06.520 And this is the this is. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.080 The price of success that we're watching. And I'm glad 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.360 that we're only picking. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.400 From the successful trees right now. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.320 And I think it's success in a very specific type 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.720 of way though It's like I'm sure it's it's the culture, 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.800 right and they fact that they've established the culture of 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.960 winning winning, You can tell those teams have a very 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.360 strong identity, which is obviously part of coaching, but it's 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.680 also kind of through personnel. And I think the other 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.440 thing is they all have a they seemingly all have 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.360 a talent for for identifying talent. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.880 I think also too, when you're looking at you know, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.320 these these guys who we just kind of talked about, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.800 you know, the one thing that's in common that's next 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.160 to them is either vice president or assistant associate, you 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.360 know what I mean. So they was there with someone else, 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.840 someone else has they was, They was a part of 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.920 a team that that helped build whatever they have going on. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.240 So that's what they would be doing here. We'll be 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.360 bringing them in to probably be the head of our ship. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.080 But you know, you got to always think and putting 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.800 back your head that they just not solely the guy 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.200 that you know, created what you see over there, that 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:06.760 culture that. 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.360 They got to maidele to work with the head coach 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.480 period like this the thing they got to be organically connected, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.680 and if they're not, it won't it won't blost you know. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.840 Obviously to Tennis point, I think the fact that they 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.360 are they are in these positions of leadership, I think 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:22.960 is important. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:23.120 Right. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.240 It's not like they're the GM, but they're the assistant GM. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.400 They're the assistant, the associate, whatever it is. So they're 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.800 right there kind of in that stage right before. They're 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.160 all poised for those positions. And I think there is 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.080 something to be said for making sure guys have experience, 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.880 right There's certain times you're like, oh, the head scout 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.080 gets the opportunity, or the regional scout You're like, man, 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.440 I feel like you're missing some steps. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:43.640 There. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.360 None of these guys missing steps. And I also think 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:48.800 it you know, John Kyin brought this up on this 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.280 podcast or shout out to John Kyme. They are all 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.120 from winning programs or from teams in the division, and 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.000 I think this is also a good time to get 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.040 some information about how they do their process and how 0:15:59.040 --> 0:15:59.680 they view us. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.000 Well know, is Kyle stealing? 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.200 We're stealing a little bit, right, Guess what. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.640 You That's what you do from trees at Blossom. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.160 Like you remember being in the neighborhood ten if I 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.280 rock play at your house and you got a plane tree. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.600 You got the mango was hanging out your chi. They 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.440 on the stand of this game, I might go ahead, 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.160 had to take one. That's just what it is. So 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.600 at the end of the day, if you want to 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.600 be good, is only one way to do it, and 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.760 this pick from the good. Yeah. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.120 Absolutely, And I think it's important to note that Adam 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.560 Peters and Bob Myers know each other from their time 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.280 in the Bay together relationship, so obviously those relationships are 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.000 really important. Not saying any one of these guys as 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:40.600 an edge, but personal relationship are very important. Also, got 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.880 names that have been put out by Adam Scheffner, Nikki 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.640 Jabala and John Kim are the coaches, and I think 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.880 in the coaching I'm a little surprised Tanna. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:48.960 Yeah, Fred, what's. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.880 Your surprised because there are a lot of defensive guys. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.720 You got Anthony Weaver from Baltimore. He's the assistant head coach, 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:59.080 defensive line coach. Mike Mike MacDonald, I want to say McAdoo, 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.320 but that's all right, McDonald Baltimore, D C Raheem Morris, 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.639
