Brian 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.360 did not make it so he won't be joining us today, 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.039 but we will try to make it work this week 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.520 and back next week we'll be back on our schedule. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.400 I guess not even back, but we will be starting 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.720 our offseason schedule. Our normal time will be every Wednesday 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:29.399 at eleven eleven or ten eleven thanks eleven ten every 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.280 Wednesday at ten am Central time. You guys will be 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.800 able to hear us and I will give you the 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:39.040 latest news and our opinions on it. So do Brian, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.319 because Brian has something going on with the like the 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.319 fan at World five, because it's not like he couldn't 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.200 make it, because Brian thrives on moments like that, like 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.040 it's like icy and all that. He was like, Oh, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.160 I'm I'm coming, I'm gonna be here. I'll be the 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.920 first one there. Yeah, the only one there. It's not 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.920 like he couldn't make it because of weather. He hadn't 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.560 you know, He's in radio all day long. Yeah. It's 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.280 interesting because I noticed on one on five Dot three 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.280 the fan. You know they do the camera where you 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.480 can see all the hosts talking and Brian's show I 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.080 saw this week Brian was the only one in the 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.280 studio on camera. Everybody else was at their home. But 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.400 that's Brian. Brian is not He's like, yes, the worst 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.119 the conditions, Brian's like, I'm gonna figure out a way 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.480 to be there because yeah, exactly, So that's just that's 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.359 what he does. But yeah, I think he lost a 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.079 bet on air, and as a result of losing the bet, 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.040 he has to do every show all day to day. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.440 So I think he got on this morning and he'll 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.520 be on until like nine o'clock tonight. So good luck Brian. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.840 Have fun with that. That's a lot of talking. Yeah, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.560 if anybody can do it, Brian can do it. Though, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.240 So all right, let's let's jump in. There was a 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.400 lot of news that's happened throughout this week, so it's 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:49.680 a good time for us to do a show on 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.760 a Friday because there's so much we can talk about. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.160 But I want to start, obviously with what I think 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.760 is the biggest piece of news, which was Cowboys mutually 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.520 agree with Kellen Moore to move on. And in the 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.200 meantime after that, Kellen Moore is already a new offensive 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.160 coordinator with the Los Angeles Chargers. Stephen talked about it 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.799 this week at the Senior Bowl, and you mentioned it. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.000 There's still a part of it, it doesn't he He 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.480 was talking about that with regards to Mike McCarthy and 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.560 how that all works from the head coach to the 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.120 offensive coordinator. He says, there's still part of that. It 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.400 doesn't totally job with what McCarthy wants out of the offense. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.160 What did you guys take from that? Well, I mean, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.720 I think Stephen was just trying to point out that, 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.480 you know, everybody, everybody still respects Kellen and all that, 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.720 but at the end of the day, you know, there's 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.120 there's just differences of opinion, and I it's one of 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.040 those things that when you hear it, it's not that 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.000 big a deal. When you put it out on you know, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:48.800 in a quote, it looks like it. I mean, it's 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.240 no different than you and I worked together and we 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.400 have a difference of opinion on certain things. I mean, 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.000 not to the point yet that you're letting me go. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.600 But but you know, but I'm not saying that they 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.560 let him go. No, I'm just saying, but people have 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.440 different No. No, I'm saying people have different opinions on stuff. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:07.880 And so it was kind of like, yeah, like he 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.840 respects Kellen, but you know what didn't get said, And 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.040 this is what the way I'll take it is. I 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.120 think everyone thinks or knows that Mikey McCarthy's got to 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.120 keep winning here. You can't go backwards at all. He's 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.360 got to keep winning, make it break season, if that's 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:24.880 what you want to call it. Probably he's got to 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.440 go to the NFC Championship game. So he probably feels 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.760 that pressure and he's like, listen, this is the way 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.520 it is. Like I've done it for three years with Kellen, 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.200 but I think there's a different way to do it, 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:36.960 and I'd like to do it this way. Yeah, and 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.760 I think Kevin probably saw it too. Yeah, when you 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.520 initially said big surprise, I thought you were gonna say 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:49.599 dan Quinn because that was a huge surprise. But as 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.600 far as Kellen Morton, you know, I think he he 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.120 has a lot of talent, and I think he did 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.360 a really really good job while he was with the boys. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.840 To see his transition from being a backup quarterback to 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.000 then transition to becoming the backup the quarterbacks coach and 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.159 then quickly becoming the OC, that's pretty impressive. And to 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:17.240 see the amount of stats that he was able to 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.200 put up despite everything, despite Dak being out, despite all 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.000 the different challenges you're not having the right amount of talent, 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.120 a wide receiver, he was able to do a lot 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.599 of things for you. But I do agree was probably time, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.960 and we talked about it last week. Definitely time for 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.120 a different voice. It wasn't just working. It just wasn't 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.159 working out. And I think he's gonna do good things 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.839 over there with the Chargers, so I'm rooting for him, 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.240 not when we face them, but just in general. I 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.200 think it's time. I'm curious to see how it's gonna 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.120 work out, though, with Mike McCarthy calling the place now, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.039 because now you ain't got nobody else to put the 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.640 blame on, that's all you. And we were talking about 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.480 it before the show, Derek a little bit this morning. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:11.960 To me, it's just like, why didn't you take over 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.599 a little sooner? You know when you see it because 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.400 we go through every year and you know how much 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.479 the team changes. We were almost in the verage of 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.919 losing dan Quinn and him going somewhere else. You have 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:30.160 to you're gonna lose players. It's just the roster continued 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.960 like always changes and to me, last year, I mean 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.400 we were pretty close. Despite of how the season went, 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.200 it got pretty close. So in my eyes I'm just like, okay, 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.839 if you have trust, even though aside of you have 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.200 different opinions and philosophy and all that, but you're the 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.920 head coach. Like I would have liked him to maybe 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:56.479 take over a lot sooner if he felt very strongly 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.480 about some of the decisions are not the decisions that 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.320 were made well, I think, first of all, let's put 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.040 this in context. I don't think it's just talk when 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.640 they say this was a mutually agreed to decision. I 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.160 don't think this is a situation where it's just cowboys 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.000 are like, hey, Kellen, we really don't want you here 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.520 next year, so mutually we agree. Like, I think this 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.600 was a mutual decision, maybe as much Kellen as it 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.920 was the Cowboys. I don't know which way it fall. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.600 Maybe it was sixty forty one way or the other. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.040 But the point is I think it was a mutual decision. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.400 But I personally, and you're talking to you, and I 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.040 talked about this before the show. I don't think last 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.360 year would have been the right year for Mike to 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.360 make that kind of move. You were coming off a 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.160 twelve and five season, you were coming off a year 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.160 we had the top offense in the league. I think 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.400 if he makes that move, then I think the question 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.520 I would have had questions because my thought would have 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.800 been the Cowboys invested in Kellen Moore as a young 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.440 offensive coordinator with very little experience, really no experience doing 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.720 the job at just the moment when this offense seems 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.000 like it's starting to take off. That doesn't mean it 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.960 doesn't have its growing pains and it's still not quite perfect. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.840 It's starting the show signs as being the top offense 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.800 in the league that he has, he's on the right track. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.679 That would have been a little weird for me to say, Okay, 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.280 now that we've finally seen some return from this investment, 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.760 let's just rip it up. That wouldn't have been the 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.000 right time saying like mid season. I mean, it's not, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.560 but I don't think that's the thing I don't like. Yes, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.360 I don't. I don't like do that mid season for sure, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.600 unless unless the wheels have fallen off, which at no 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.120 point this year did I feel like the offenses wheels 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.880 fell off. Unless the wheels have completely fallen off, I 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.760 just don't know that that's moved to make. I think 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.000 he had one game where he would say that it 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.400 was kind of wobbly because see Cooper. When when Dad 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.199 got hurt, then Cooper comes in and so it's like, well, 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.160 what's going on with the offense. I think everyone just thought, well, 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.600 it's because Dad's not in it. And then the one 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.439 game in Detroit they didn't really play well for a while. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.800 That comes back and it's like, okay, what's going on? 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.800 And then it was the Bears game and then it 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.439 just went crazy. So like it was almost like if 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.880 they didn't play well against the Bears, I could see 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:00.880 or something. You know, now, now we got a problem 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.040 because Dad's been back two weeks and it's not getting fixed. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.840 But it got fixed. They went to the buy. They 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.360 had a pretty good offensive showing in Green Bay, then Minnesota, 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.840 so it's coming. It was almost like when the injury 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.040 kind of almost put its pause on everything, like okay, 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.600 we can't evaluate anything because there's an injury. And then 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.760 Dad came back and had pretty good So I don't 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.800 know if it was the right time to do it, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.400 and I don't I don't think it's a this is 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.880 that big a deal. I just think it's like McCarthy's like, 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.480 you know what, I'll call the plays, but we don't 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.840 know who the offensive coordinator is yet. There's a lot 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.320 of names. They've interviewed two guys, there's some, there's you know, 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.800 Brian Schottenheimer's also a guy that could be in the 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.000 mix here either way. I mean, if he's calling plays, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.240 it doesn't really matter bring it to that's not really 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.199 it's just the structure of the offense. But I get 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.640 the sense, and I don't know if this is always 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.240 the case, but it's like everything is gonna be a 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.160 lot more connected, like everything, you know, like hit bones 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.559 connected to the kneebone type stuff, where it's like running backs, coach, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.360 offensive line, receivers tighten. I mean, it's all going to 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.719 be a little bit more of a cohesive group. That's 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.680 at least the plan. We'll get to that in a second, 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.120 because I want to talk about some of the players, 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.040 some of the coaches that they that they didn't renew 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.680 and maybe what that means. We haven't had a show 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.520 in a while. Honestly, there's so many different things that 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.120 have happened this week. Before we move on, though, I 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.600 do want to ask you guys, are he at all 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.040 concerned about Mike McCarthy calling plays and still being able 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.720 to manage the responsibilities of a head coach, because we've 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.480 seen over the years there have been a number of 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.480 head coaches, really good head coaches who have a particular 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.120 discipline offense or defense that as time goes on, they're 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.800 originally I mean, they're eventually removed from the responsibility of 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.600 the offense or the defense so that they can really 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.040 be focused on managing the game. There have been questions 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.800 about Mike's decisions in games, fair or not throughout the 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.720 last several seasons. So that being said, are you at 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.320 all concerned about him now being calling the plays in 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.520 addition to trying to manage the game? You know, not really, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.280 because I'm gonna look at it from more of a 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.560 positive spin. Maybe it's maybe it's actually easier to call 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.080 a game when you're managing to manage the game when 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.480 you're calling it, because it's one thing to say, all right, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.839 you know, I kind of know what we're gonna do 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.480 when you get in field goal range. We're gonna try 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.640 to kick this field goal, So let's call play here. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.040 But but and and you know, and Kellen's thinking, all right, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.360 I'm trying to get a first down. I'm trying to 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.080 do this and then, and you can't communicate everything in 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:32.000 fifteen seconds, so you know, maybe it's almost easier what 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.440 you're doing here. I know, I want to I want 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.439 to get the ball. I want to kick a field 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.120 goal here. I want to run the ball to the 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.920 left side to get right in the middle of the field. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.640 You know, of course, I don't know. I don't know 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.200 if that's a good spot for a field goal. I mean, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.920 I don't. I don't. That's kind of a bad example. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.120 But it comes to they can't make any kicks right now. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.320 But but you know, I just maybe you can eat 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.800 call a game even better when you're managing it too. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.679 Maybe I don't know. I wouldn't know that. Yeah, you wouldn't. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.480 I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't know how. You've never been 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.040 on a sideline calling a game before. No, Now, in 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.280 the game that I did, I wasn't managing the game, 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.000 you know. Yeah, so five year olds are a little 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.080 easier though, right. That was it was kind of a 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.280 flag football game back in college. It was the quarterback. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:15.960 Oh no, that wasn't that game. That wouldn't have been 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.640 coming that flag football. No, when rama was playing. Now, 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.480 I wasn't managing anything there. I was just blocking. So 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.360 it was like it was like you were blocking like 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:33.479 Zeke on the final play, or I just wondered why. Yeah, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:37.120 that's funny, is yeah, yeah, everyone's like Jon Curse is 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.040 tweeting out like I got Tom Brady's last interception. You know, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:44.080 it's like, you know, is Zeke had the ball? Zeke 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.280 snapped the ball at center the last you know, that's 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.920 a trivia question. What was the last position Zeke played 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.360 for the gab Boys center? And he doesn't remember it 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.280 because he got hit really hard? Are you teaming up 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:54.800 the next segment as to what you think is going 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.600 to happen with Zeke? Oh, if that happens, okay, I 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.959 don't think he's coming back. I say that we'll get 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:07.000 to that well. I mean, I'm sure we have to 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.240 go to break pretty soon. But my answer is quick. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.800 I do agree with Nike as far as like, I 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.720 don't think he'll be a very difficult transcision, and I 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.800 think he'll be fine because he's still gonna They're still 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.520 gonna hire an LC to come in here and take 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.880 over some of the responsibilities, and so he's still gonna 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.760 have the help he needs around him. But I do 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.520 agree it's a lot easier when you don't have to 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.080 communicate with somebody else that quickly and you can just 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.280 make your own decision and you're the guy to call. Now, 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.120 what I like the most quote unquote is we would 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.720 know specifically who to point. I don't like finger pointing. Okay, 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.360 I'm saying this, I'm not a fan of fingerpointing. But 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.880 even last year we were wondering, okay, how much input, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.400 what's the percentage between the amount of voice and decision 0:13:55.440 --> 0:14:00.080 that is taken during the game between Kellen and Mike McCarthy. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.960 We didn't know really the answer to that. And now 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.360 we will know for sure who's making these calls, and 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.840 you're going to specifically extend in front of Mike McCarthy 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.680 after a game and ask him specifically those questions and 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.400 he's gonna be able to hopefully give you some feedback 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.800 right then and there rather than I mean, they still 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.440 got a look at tape after the game, but it's 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.800 just it gives you a clear answer on who's doing what. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.960 And we'll see he's done it in Green Bay. He 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:32.640 has the experience. We'll see if if the offense truly 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.880 changes because on the defensive side of the ball, you 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.480 got another head coach there on that side. So yeah, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.360 I think I think all the way around this worked 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.080 out for everyone. This is one of the situations that 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.960 worked for everybody, because I do think the Cowboys quite frankly, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.640 I don't think Kellen did a bad job, but I 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.720 think sometimes I remember Bill Parcel's talking about how I 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.200 don't care who you are as a coach. At some 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.040 point whatever your thing is gonna run thin, and it's 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.880 going to be time for a new voice. And I 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.960 just think this is a good time for a new voice. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.920 I also think Kellen landed in a perfect spot talk 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.160 about when to throw the ball. He's got a quarterback 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.040 that could sling it, and I expect their offense to 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.440 be that kind of offense next year. They don't have 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.600 a traditional running game, they have a running back who 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.960 is a great guy out in space that you can 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:14.880 throw the ball too, So you think about it from 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.560 that standpoint, I think it's gonna be a great fit 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.440 for Kellen. So I think all the way around, everybody 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.360 comes out better and let's see how it all turns out. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.080 I don't think because Kellen has success there it necessarily 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.880 means he would have had success here in order, you know, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.600 or vice versa. I think at the end of the day, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.200 I think this was just the right timing for this 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:31.960 move to just do something a little different than see 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.480 if you can get a little more out of the offense. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.160 Are we're gonna say our first break, we will come back. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.760 We got to talk about Dan Quinn and some of 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.080 the other coaches who will not be back here next year, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.280 some of them kind of surprising. We'll talk about that 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.600 when we come back. Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

At the Star, 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.840 we're presented by Miller like the only Beer of the 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.080 Dallas Cowboys, and this segment is brought to you by 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.640 blockchain dot com. Let's talk about Dan Quinn, defensive coordinator 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.240 for the Cowboys. He is returning. There was there was 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.800 lots of speculation that he would be leaving as a 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.960 head coach. He'd interviewed for a number of different head 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.160 coaching vacancies around the NFL. Then the news came out 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.040 that he informed those teams that he did not plan 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.000 to leave the Cowboys, planned to be here, wanted to 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.720 finish the work that he'd been doing here. How surprised 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.560 were you guys that he didn't end up taking a 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.200 head coaching job and decided to come back here and 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.440 remains the defensive coordinator. I didn't think it was gonna 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.760 happen again. I thought, you know, they got lucky last time. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.679 Probably wasn't gonna happen this time. And you gotta remember, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.919 dan Quinn came out and said that this offseason he 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.720 prepared for this. He prepared for his interviews, He prepared 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.200 for you know, what he would say in the event 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.000 that he was playing in a playoff game but also 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.159 interviewing at the same time. So it's not like he 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.040 doesn't want to be a head coach. He does want 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:54.800 to be a head coach. He was preparing for it. 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.600 He's waiting for the right situation to come along. But 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.440 as it stands right now, this is still a good 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.679 spot for him. Um with with the Cowboys. You know, 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.800 you're you're you're coaching you know my I mean Michael 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.960 Parsons and you've got you've got a great you know, 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.120 you've just got a great set up here. I think 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.680 he's making um pretty good money, you know, maybe even 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.000 head coach money. So he's doing fine there and he's 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.160 waiting on it on the right spot. Yeah, I could 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.879 not believe the news when I saw it. I'm like 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:32.119 Jerry freaking Jones. He I mean, obviously a lot of 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.199 it came down to Dan Quinn's decision, obviously um, but 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.919 at the same time he has to be happy and 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.640 with the right people and Jerry Jones to make it happen. 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.560 Last year, and like Nick said, salary we gotta remember, 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.919 is that still applying the whole were his contract or 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:54.879 money that he was making previously from Atlanta. I don't. 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.480 I don't know, honestly, And if so, it's usually an 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.679 offset thing, so it's what what it was made. You 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.919
