Seaton Poll question for the 43 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: final hour of the program is what. 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 5: Losing team from the weekend that has the most biggest 45 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 5: issues issue. The Texans have fifty one percent of that vote. 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 5: Quarterback that had the most difficult time sleeping last night 47 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 5: Josh Allen, followed by C. J. Stroud And then which 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 5: team will regret firing their head coach? Maybe firing not 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 5: the right words since Mike Tomlin stepped down, but we 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 5: put the Steelers on there right now. It is the Ravens, 51 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 5: followed by the Bills. They're kind of neck and neck. 52 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 6: Hmm. 53 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll talk about those coaching vacancies. And Kevin 54 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: Stefanski as predicted what an upgrade or as as I 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: told you that John Harball. John Harball was looking at 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: either the Falcons or the Giants, and I said, Stefanski 57 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: will get the other job. Harball takes the Giants, Stefanski 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: takes the Atlanta Falcons. Great situation. Great situation. Now, I 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: know you don't really have a quarterback because you've got 60 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: two quarterbacks there, but it feels like that's an upgrade 61 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: and you get an offensive minded coach in there, and 62 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: maybe they unleash their true potential there. But you know 63 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: these guys now you look around Mike McDonald in Seattle, 64 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: Mike Rabel in New England. You know Ben Johnson, like 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: you don't get that much time to come in and 66 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: be like, all right, we're going to the playoffs. Right, 67 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: it's what Rabel did. I don't know if I'm more 68 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: Is there another story turnaround more surprising than what Brabel 69 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: did this year? Ben Johnson, that's a good team. The 70 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: Patriots weren't a good team. I thought the Bears were 71 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: standing in the way of the Bears. I thought that 72 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: the Bears were a playoff team. Seattle pretty surprising anybody 73 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: else in there that you go, Wow, that's a crazy turnaround. 74 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: Carolina made the playoffs. 75 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: That's pretty good. 76 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: How about Jacksonville? Would you put Jacksonville over the Patriots? Now? 77 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: I wouldn't, as although you know, maybe Liam Cohen is 78 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: going to save Trevor Lawrence's career and you end up 79 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: with thirteen wins. Feels like Jacksonville's supposed to be competitive. 80 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: New England wasn't. And then Rabel gets there. You got 81 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: a second year quarterback, and here you are in the 82 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: ANFC title game, Seattle. I think we were kind of 83 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: trying to figure out just how good they were. You know, 84 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: it was going to be defense and running the football, 85 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: and then they get Sam Darnold. I have to factor 86 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: that in as well. But if you would have said, 87 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: of all these scenarios here, hey, New England's going to 88 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: be an AFC title game, Seattle's going to be in 89 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: the NFC Title game, Jacksonville is going to be a 90 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: force this year, I still go back to Carolina made 91 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: the playoffs, I know, with a losing record in a 92 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: bad division. But I would say the Patriots are the 93 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: biggest surprise. Yeah, PAULI. 94 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 4: Last year the Patriots offense was thirtieth in the league, 95 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 4: their defense was twenty second. This year, their offense is 96 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: second in the league and scoring and their defense is fourth. 97 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a huge turnaround. Obviously, Yes, Todd and people 98 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: could say. 99 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 7: All they want they had a weaker schedule, it's still 100 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 7: fourteen and three and playoff wins and one win away 101 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 7: from the super Bowl. 102 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: That's kind of insane. Celebrate Martin Luther King Day on 103 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 2: NBC in Peacock with a full day of basketball NBA 104 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: action all day long Monday on NBC and streaming on peacock. 105 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls in here best and worst 106 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: of the season, our best and worst of the weekend. 107 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: I was going to say the season with what happened 108 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: with some of these teams that had playoff hopes. But 109 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: the stakes are higher, and it feels like ownership looks 110 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: around and goes, well, wait a minute, why can't we 111 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: do that? And next year at this time there probably 112 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: will be six or seven openings. After this year with 113 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: all these openings, and you're going, can we have that many? 114 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: Can we have a third of the NFL? You know, 115 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: almost a third of these coaching vacancies? Yeah, Mark, It's going. 116 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 7: To be the same thing with college football. Also, I'm 117 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 7: sure if you're Arkansas or Mississippi State, Indiana got to 118 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 7: the national championship game, let's do something. 119 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 2: But you know, it is interesting that, you know, it 120 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: used to be there were the same schools that were 121 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: playing in the playoffs and winning national championships. Now all 122 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: of a sudden, I get to pay players too, and 123 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: now we've leveled the playing field. You know, Mark Cuban 124 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: became a big donor for Indiana football, Like you have 125 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: to have that. It's just you know, that is your 126 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: power point. Like we have to have money. You have 127 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: to have people, you know, collectives, billionaire, whoever it is, 128 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: Texas Tech. You get one guy in there who's going 129 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: to write a check, that's what you need. And the 130 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: fact that we're getting close to forty million dollars with 131 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: sort of the operating budget per year not sustainable. I 132 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: mentioned this earlier in the show. Friday. College Football Playoff 133 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: committee is expected to announce whether they're going to go 134 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: to sixteen teams or they'll stay at twelve. And what 135 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: I learned was the Big Ten once a commitment that 136 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: says a firm agreement that you will go sixteen, sixteen, 137 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: sixteen the next three years, and then after that you'll 138 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: go to twenty four teams. And that doesn't seem like 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: a lot to ask, all right, So at least we 140 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: didn't go twelve, then to sixteen, then to twenty four. 141 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: You give it three more years and then you see 142 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: if you're ready to go to twenty four teams. I mean, 143 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: that's where they're going. It's just sixteen, sixteen, sixteen, that's 144 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: what the Big Ten wants. Let's see Nick and Irvine. Hi, Nick, 145 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: welcome back. 146 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 8: Again. Always an honor to talk to you. Hall of Famer. Listen, 147 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 8: great great weekend. Got to watch the La Rams yesterday 148 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 8: at the bicycle casino eating and drinking, and Oldlasme's compadres 149 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 8: over at the bike playing one to three no limit. 150 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: My work is found a little roughed up. 151 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 8: Nick. Yeah, well, you know I've been sober for about 152 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 8: three four hours. 153 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 2: So well, congratulation on your sobriety. 154 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 9: Got a lastful about that pregame tonight. 155 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 8: So my worst of the weekend has to be even 156 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 8: as a Raider fan and of course a humanitarian, I 157 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 8: hate the Broncos, but that kid, that quarterback on the Broncos, 158 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 8: he threw two of the best balls I've really ever seen. 159 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 8: I mean, it was incredible, those passes, and I was 160 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 8: really looking forward to watching him in the championship game 161 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 8: and to hear that he got mixed out of that 162 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 8: was a disappointment. So that was my worst. My best 163 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 8: for the eleventh consecutive week and this time snuggling with 164 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 8: Danica Patrick and Dodger Hall of Fame fan Mary Hart 165 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 8: on my couch was watching the Dodgers once again, come 166 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 8: back in the World Series in Game seven and win it. 167 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 8: So until someone dethrones that, it's going to be my 168 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 8: best every weekend. It's probably going to be Opening Day 169 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 8: for the Dodgers. That'll be my best of the week. 170 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: Right Well, thank you, Nick, congratulations again on your Dodgers. Boy. 171 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: The number of articles that talked about how the Dodgers 172 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: are ruining baseball, they took advantage of an opportunity that, like, 173 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: I can't fault them. I don't think they have to 174 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: dumb down their organization just because nobody else is going 175 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: to be able to spend that money. There are other billionaires. 176 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: The Dodgers outsmarted a lot of people the show Heyo 177 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: Tani deferred payment contract. Now, I'm wondering if Baseball will 178 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: try to firm up that loophole there, But I don't know. 179 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: You know, what can baseball do? What does Baseball want 180 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: to do? Salaries? Salary cap Player Association won't allow that 181 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: to happen, and it might define the legacy of this commissioner. 182 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: Is he able to bring some kind of financial sanity 183 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: to the game, And I don't know if he can, 184 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if he wants to. I get. I mean, 185 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: you want to have as many teams. That's why we 186 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: love the NFL because you can get Carolina in there. 187 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 2: Jacksonville turns it around. New England turns it around. You 188 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: can reap benefits of doing things the correct way while 189 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: everybody is playing by the same rules. But I still 190 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: go back to the Dodgers were two ounces away from 191 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: not winning the World Series. 192 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 4: Yes, pauling the Dodgers spending is the tush push of baseball. 193 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 4: All the other teams want it gone. But how do 194 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 4: you penalize for the Dodgers for doing something that's completely 195 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 4: legal under the rules today. 196 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: Well, Buffalo certainly used the tush push a lot, but 197 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 2: four or five times yesterday. David in Ohio, Hi David, 198 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 2: what's on your mind today? 199 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 8: Yeah? 200 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 10: Dan got a bess in and Worst of the weekend, 201 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 10: real quick best. Even though they lost PAULI, I still 202 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 10: think the Bears have got a lot to cheer about, 203 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 10: and they're going into the off season. I still think 204 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 10: they're the favorite to maybe when the NFC North next year. 205 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 10: They beat the Packers, so I would say that that's 206 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 10: that is that could be their Super Bowl this year, 207 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 10: and then wor's the weekends obviously, Marvin's Niners losing in Seattle. 208 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 10: I was just just a complete blowout, and I really 209 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 10: hope maybe they come back next year and maybe it's 210 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 10: become a contender there. 211 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: So thank you, all right, And I saw I don't 212 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: know if they were reports, So I'm always very careful 213 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: about this because somebody can kind of speculate, you know, 214 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: it can go hey, you know what about and then 215 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: it becomes a report and it's not but Aaron Rodgers 216 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: to the Vikings because I don't think the Vikings are 217 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: sold on Jay J. McCarthy, but they I think they 218 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: toyed with the idea of Aaron Rodgers. Aaron wanted to 219 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: go there and then ended up in Pittsburgh. But I 220 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: wonder if he wants to play again. Is Minnesota an option? 221 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: Greg and Buffalo, Hi, Greg, what's on your mind today? 222 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 6: Hey? 223 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: Good morning, Dan. 224 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 9: I just wanted to chime in locally on the whole 225 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 9: Bill situation that came about today. You haven't mentioned Bill's 226 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 9: GM Brandon Bean at all, and I can tell you 227 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 9: here in Western New York he is the one that 228 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 9: people by far have been wanting to be fired more 229 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 9: than Sean McDermott. Brandon Bean has a lot of goodwill 230 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 9: this year, and it started when he went on a 231 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 9: local radio spot after the draft, and so complaining about 232 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 9: wide receivers is one of the dumbest things he's ever heard. 233 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 9: Now a year prior, he took Coleman with a thirty 234 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 9: third pick in the draft, and he was getting healthy, 235 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 9: scratched in the playoff, pushed down the strutch in the 236 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 9: regular season. So not only this is wide receiver room 237 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 9: construction ben malpractice, but they have money and resources go 238 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 9: lower into the defensive line and it has not worked, 239 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 9: especially in the playoffs. And look, I know Seawn was 240 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 9: the scapegoat and steam taskcor is right about what an 241 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 9: ambassador Sean's been for Buffalo and Western New York. But 242 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 9: in the end, this is about roster construction and depth. 243 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 9: And one last thing Dan you mentioned, I know with 244 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 9: John Elway in those early Super Bowls, how he didn't 245 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 9: maybe have those offensive teammates around him, those high end 246 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 9: players compared to later he obviously had TD and Shannon 247 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 9: and all that. Since drafting Josh in twenty eighteen, the 248 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 9: Bills have drafted fifty six players. Only two have gone 249 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 9: to make the Pro Bowl, Dawson Knox and James Cook. 250 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 9: Having the rest of your week, guys, Thank. 251 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 4: You, Greg, I appreciate that. Yes, Paulie multiple reports to 252 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: the GM, Brandon Beans the Bills. He not only didn't 253 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: get fired, he got a promotion. He's now president of 254 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: football Operations. 255 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: In addition to GM oh I was going to say, 256 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: maybe they got him out of the GM spot. Yeah, 257 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: that's tricky though, when you keep the GM when you 258 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: bring in a coach and John Harball I think is 259 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: fine with Joe Shane as the GM with the Giants, 260 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: but I don't know. It took him a few days 261 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: to get that contract done. All right, let me take 262 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: a break. Albert Breer his job is to well one 263 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: of his jobs is to keep an eye on the 264 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: coaching vacancies. And we'll ask him, was Buffalo going to 265 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: do this no matter what? Now they got to the 266 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: Super bowl'd be pretty hard to send him packing. But 267 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: at what point do you make a decision you're going 268 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: to fire Sean McDermott and also these other coaching vacancies 269 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: because you got some really blue chip openings here with Pittsburgh, 270 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: with Buffalo, with Baltimore. We'll take a break. We're back 271 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: after this Dan Patrick's show. 272 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 273 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 274 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 275 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 11: Hey is Covino and Rich from Fox Sports Radio Now. 276 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 11: In addition to hearing us live weekdays from five to 277 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 11: seven pm Eastern two to four Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, 278 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 11: we're excited to announce a brand new YouTube channel for 279 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 11: the show. 280 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: Yup, that's right. 281 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 11: You can now watch Covino and Rich live on YouTube 282 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 11: every day.

I guess it turns out that Sean McDermott 292 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: was coaching for his job. 293 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, how's your Monday morning going? 294 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: Still employed? 295 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 296 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 6: That I I would say, I, I I'm surprised, but 297 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 6: I think there were and I think he was surprised, 298 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 6: but there were some tea leaves, you know. I think 299 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 6: Josh Allen's emotional press conference. I think McDermott you could 300 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 6: kind of see, you know, with the criticism of the 301 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 6: officials the first time and then coming back the second time. 302 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 6: I think you kind of feel. 303 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 3: That there was heat on everybody there, you know, and 304 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: that the window to. 305 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 6: Win a championship, like the owners were feeling that and 306 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 6: feeling the pressure of being within that. And you know, 307 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 6: I think a couple of months ago I used the 308 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 6: Tony Dungee comparison with you Dan, and I think it's 309 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 6: an apt one, you know. I That's the way I 310 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 6: see this is, you know, Sean McDermott did a ton 311 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 6: of good in Buffalo. They had me been to the 312 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 6: playoffs in eighteen years, you know, he was there for nine. 313 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 6: They make it an eight of those nine years, seven 314 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 6: in a row, five AFC's titles, two AFC Championship games, 315 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 6: a franchise quarterback, like all these things were unimaginable for 316 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 6: the Bills when he got there. But you know, the 317 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 6: same way it was with Tony Dungee when he rebuilt 318 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 6: the Bucks. You know, the owners down there felt this 319 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 6: shrinking window with that team they had with you know, 320 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 6: Derek Brooks and Lawren Sapp and John Lynch and Rendez Barber, 321 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 6: and I think sort of the same thing with a 322 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 6: quarterback in Buffalo. You know, there's a feeling like we're 323 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 6: not going to get a million shots at this, so. 324 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: We need to strike while the iron's hot. 325 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: So what's Buffalo do? 326 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great question. This is I think a 327 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 6: once in a lifetime opportunity for a coach, don't you. 328 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But Baltimore is as well. Right. 329 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 6: I just look at like this with Josh Allen and 330 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 6: the chance to do this and compete for a championship, 331 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 6: Like if this job were to come open again in 332 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 6: three or four years, with the amount of damage he's taken, like, 333 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 6: we don't know that it's gonna be the same Josh Allen, 334 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 6: you know. So if I'm the bill, I'm taking full 335 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 6: advantage of that. And that means you're going to interview 336 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 6: all the usual suspects, the names that we've heard, you know, 337 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 6: over the course of the last couple of weeks, and 338 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 6: there's some really good candidates out there, some of them 339 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 6: on the defensive side of the ball, which you know, 340 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 6: maybe the Bills shy away from that now because they 341 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 6: just did spend nine years going down that path with McDermott. 342 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 3: But why not take big swings if you're Buffalo? 343 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 2: Why not just see well? 344 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: I mean, we'll call the Rams call. 345 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 6: And I'm not saying those guys that be available, but 346 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 6: you know, when you have that quarterback and you're in 347 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 6: this situation and you might be able to entice something 348 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 6: just to see how their situation is, why wouldn't you 349 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 6: do it? 350 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 3: I mean, I got it. 351 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 6: This is the way I look at it right Like 352 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 6: it's like if I'm if I'm Buffalo, I'm looking at 353 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 6: this and I'm saying, like we are in a once 354 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 6: in a lifetime window. 355 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: This is a really hard place to be. 356 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 6: We got a quarterback who harry an incredibly heavy load 357 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 6: this year, and we want to take some of that 358 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 6: off of him. 359 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 3: And we can offer somebody. 360 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 6: The chance to do that and compete for championships right 361 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 6: away with a roster that's still pretty good and has 362 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 6: a lot of young pieces on it, I think you 363 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 6: have to take advantage of that. Opportunity and what that 364 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 6: opportunity looks like. You know, it's gonna be in the 365 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 6: eye of the beholder. But I mean, the one thing 366 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 6: I can't shake is, like Josh Allen turning thirty this offseason, 367 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 6: there's the chance for someone to get in there and 368 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 6: compete for championships right away and change the narrative on 369 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 6: Josh Allen and. 370 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills. 371 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 6: And if you're going to make this bold move to 372 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 6: get rid of a coach that accomplished that much over 373 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 6: nine years, I think your higher has to be bold 374 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 6: as well. 375 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: Okay, but why wouldn't we say the same thing about Baltimore. 376 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: They've got the two time MVP in Lamar Johnson. 377 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: I'd agree. I just I. 378 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 6: It's fair, it's a fair it's a fair thing to say. 379 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 6: I just think if you look at Baltimore's success, it 380 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 6: goes past Lamar, right, And they've always been so stable 381 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 6: and able to build for so long. 382 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: And they've got Eric DaCosta, who was. 383 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 6: Groomed by Auzie Newsome for the job, and this is 384 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 6: this has been who the Ravens are for twenty five years. 385 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 6: And they found John Harbob like kind of going an 386 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 6: unconventional route, and so I think it's a little different. 387 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 6: There's just some nuance there where, Like I think with 388 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 6: Baltimore as good as Lamar is, and I think Lamar 389 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 6: is great, you know what I think of Lamar. I 390 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 6: think it's just a little bit of a different spot 391 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 6: than Buffalo where you look at it and it's just 392 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 6: so much has been built around that one player, you 393 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 6: know what I mean. 394 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 3: Where, Man, if we've. 395 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 6: Invested this much to getting it getting it right with 396 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 6: the quarterback, we need to get the coach right. 397 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Baltimore is a better job. 398 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 6: I think it's probably fair too, because of the stability 399 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 6: to franchise and everything else. 400 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 2: I think they're a better team. You know, Buffalo I 401 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: didn't think was a great team. 402 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: Are you worried about Lamar's injuries? 403 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 404 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the thing is like, that's the thing 405 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: you have to sort of assess, you know. 406 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: But would you hire Mike McDaniel in Buffalo? 407 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 3: I think about it. 408 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: Would you hire Brian Dable? 409 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 6: I think about it, and the reason why I just 410 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 6: I look at like so many things and Dave Ball's 411 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 6: got the built in relationship with Josh, so that's a 412 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 6: factor of course, Dave Ball's also from Western New York. 413 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 6: He understands the market, like I think he'd be good 414 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 6: in that job. Watching the Bills this year, everything looks 415 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 6: like harder than it should be, you know what I mean? 416 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 6: Did you get that sense to watching them? So they 417 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 6: got to do something at receiver. I think they got 418 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 6: to do something to give Josh. I can still remember this, 419 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 6: and like with Ben Roethlisberger, right, So Todd Haley came in, 420 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 6: and this was when Arian's left for the Colts in 421 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 6: and twelve, and so Todd Haley came in and that 422 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 6: was after eight years of Ben Roethlisberger, right, and two 423 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 6: Super Bowl wins. And he looked at Ben and said, 424 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 6: he's not going to last if he keeps playing this way. 425 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 6: And so you know, they they had kind of assembled 426 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 6: this young group of receivers that Antonio Brown and Mike 427 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 6: Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders and you know, Todd Haley kind 428 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 6: of taking the tack. We got to make things easier 429 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 6: on this guy, and we got we got to create 430 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 6: more layups on him for him, and we got to. 431 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: Kind of transform who he is as a quarterback. 432 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 6: And I think that that's going to be part of 433 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 6: the job for the next coach is like, how do 434 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 6: we create like a second phase of Josh Allen's career 435 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 6: where he doesn't have like in the playoffs, three different 436 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 6: injuries on the on the injury report at the end 437 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 6: of a playoff week. 438 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 3: Right, how do we do that? 439 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 6: And you know, I remember having a lot of conversations 440 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 6: with Todd Haley about that, you know, back then. That 441 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 6: was fourteen years ago now, but I think some of 442 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 6: the same principles apply, where you know, you want to 443 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 6: try to create a situation for your quarterback where you're 444 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 6: you're making things easier on him. 445 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 3: It doesn't look quite as hard. 446 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 6: Anymore, and you know, you're you're almost generating a second 447 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 6: phase of his career. 448 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: Talking to Albert Breer, the Monday Morning Quarterback senior NFL reporter, 449 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 2: are we close to any of these vacancies being filled? 450 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Miami could be soon.

So, 496 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 6: you know, those are our two big decisions that need 497 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 6: to be made this offseason. And they went three and 498 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 6: oh with Davis Mills in there, you know. 499 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 3: So I think having seven. 500 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 6: Turnovers and two in two playoff games and being in 501 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 6: the window that they're in. I just talked about windows 502 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 6: at Buffalo being the one being in the window that 503 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 6: they're in with this just ridiculous defense that played really 504 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 6: well for the most part, eventually crack but played really 505 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 6: well for the most part in New England and obviously 506 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 6: dominated in Pittsburgh. 507 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: There's some big decision. 508 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 6: Making that has to happen there, so I think his 509 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 6: future is a little uncertain. I wouldn't be surprised if 510 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 6: teams make calls just. 511 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 3: To see if if he's available. 512 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 6: But there are definitely some moving parts there and we'll 513 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 6: see what happens. 514 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 8: You know. 515 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 6: Again, I don't know they've had the chance to sit 516 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 6: down and fully assess everything, and they probably won't until 517 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 6: they review the entirety of the season. 518 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: Tell my audience everything they need to know about Jared Stidham. 519 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 3: He's an interesting name, so he was. 520 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 6: He was at the like coming out of high school, 521 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 6: was one of the top players in the country, went 522 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 6: to Baylor to play for our Briles and got caught 523 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 6: in the caught up in all of that, like and 524 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 6: not that he was involved, but like obviously, you know, 525 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 6: he was one of the players that kind of became 526 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 6: collateral damage in that whole thing. 527 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: And so he winds up. 528 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 6: Transferring to Auburn, played in an offense that maybe wasn't 529 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 6: all that suited to his skill set, and when he 530 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 6: was coming out, a lot of people looked at him said, like, 531 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 6: this guy still has as like all the traits that 532 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 6: you would want in a blue chip recruit, right, And 533 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: so gets drafted by the Patriots. He may have started 534 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty in New England if it weren't for 535 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 6: COVID wiping out like the entire offseason program. Obviously the 536 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 6: shorter off season, the Patriots wanted somebody more experienced. They 537 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 6: brought in Cam Newton that year, and then Josh McDaniels, 538 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 6: who had Stidham in New England, goes to Vegas and 539 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 6: they were together for three years in New England and 540 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 6: trades for him, right, And so he trades for him 541 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 6: as to be Derek Carr's back up in twenty two 542 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 6: and then tries to bring him back to compete with 543 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 6: Jimmy Garoppolo for the job in twenty three. But Sean 544 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 6: Payton now bids him as Russell will and brings him 545 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 6: bring and Sean Payton brings him in as Russell Wilson Insurance. 546 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 6: Peyton did a two year deal with him, then he 547 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 6: does another two year deal with him, So clearly there's 548 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 6: something there. 549 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: You know. 550 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 6: I know Sean really liked, you know, Sidham's ability to 551 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 6: handle a very complex offense, you know, because he'd played 552 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 6: for Josh McDaniels and they have a ton of confidence 553 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 6: that he's going to be okay, played really well in 554 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 6: the preseason. I think the question is going to be here. 555 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: Dan Is Knicks was good, not. 556 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 6: Great for three and a half quarters of a lot 557 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 6: of games and then just made huge throw after a 558 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 6: huge throw after a huge throw, and big spots. Is 559 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 6: why he has so many fourth quarter comebacks this year, 560 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 6: including the one against Buffalo on Saturday. Can still of 561 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 6: make those plays at the end of the game if 562 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 6: they can get New England into the fourth quarter and 563 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 6: they're at home, can still of make the sorts of 564 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 6: throws that Knicks was making it towards the end of games. 565 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be the biggest question. 566 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: What's the going rate for head coaches now as far 567 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 2: as because Lafloor's up to whatever, maybe fourteen to fifteen 568 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: million dollars? Is that? Where is it? 569 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 8: Yeah? 570 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 6: I mean well I would say maybe even more than that. 571 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 6: I don't have the number, but I mean I can 572 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 6: give you this, like, you know, Liam Cohen got twelve 573 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 6: million million of years a first time head coach last 574 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 6: year in Jacksonville. Ben Johnson got thirteen million a year 575 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 6: last year as a first time head coach in Chicago, 576 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 6: and I believe he had a bigger offer than that, right, 577 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 6: And that was part of where some of the questions 578 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 6: were with Lafleur in Green Bay. It was never do 579 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 6: do we want to bring him back? They always wanted 580 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 6: to bring him back. The question was whether or not 581 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 6: they be able to work out a new contract and whether, 582 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 6: you know, if things went sideways in the negotiation, would 583 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 6: some other team come in and offer something enticing Like 584 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 6: there were a lot of moving parts there. Obviously they 585 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 6: wind up getting it done. But I mean, look, here's 586 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 6: the thing. I mean, you have like second receivers, right, 587 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 6: second pass rushers getting twenty million a year, So for 588 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 6: an established head coach, it makes sense they're worth at 589 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 6: least that much, you know, So I think it's there 590 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 6: were some owners I would say suppressing. I don't want 591 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 6: to use a C word, but suppressing maybe salaries a 592 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 6: little bit for a while there. But it certainly looks 593 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 6: like the damn's broke. And you know, one thing that 594 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 6: contributed to was was all the TV money that's out there, 595 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 6: you know, I know it was a factor in Sean 596 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 6: mcvay's negotiation with the RAMS, what he was getting offered 597 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 6: to go into network television. And you know, so certainly 598 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 6: I think there's been a little bit of a correction 599 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 6: and those numbers are way higher than they used to be. 600 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 2: How did the reps do this weekend? 601 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 3: Am I gonna get fined? Look like? I just think 602 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: like public trust is at an all time low, you know, 603 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 3: And I I. 604 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 6: Agree with Sean McDermott there needs to be more clarity 605 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 6: and it can't be I mean, and I just think 606 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 6: watching the games and you know, I. 607 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: But how do you get clarity though? Albert, Well, I mean, 608 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 2: here's the thing. 609 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 6: So during the season, I don't get to During the season, 610 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 6: I'm trying to watch everything, so really I don't get 611 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 6: to watch watch like drill down on the commentary or 612 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 6: even the pace of some of the games as much 613 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 6: because I'm trying to watch everything right and see the 614 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 6: primetime games of course, but you know, during the playoffs, 615 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 6: one thing that sucks stuck out to me is like 616 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 6: it's just you know, sometimes you get this long drawn 617 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 6: out explanation. 618 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like, what the hell has happened? You know. 619 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 3: In this case, Sean mcdermoy is trying to slow it 620 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 3: down so the. 621 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 6: Head official can get a look at at at the 622 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 6: at the Cooks play with McMillan there, with Jakawhan McMillan there, Like, 623 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 6: I think that's a fair ask to have the head 624 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 6: referee go over under the hood and take a real 625 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 6: look at it. Who is making that ruling, who is 626 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 6: who is in the referee's ear, Like, there's just not 627 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 6: a lot of clarity with it, And if there's not 628 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 6: a lot of clarity, then there's gonna be a lot 629 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 6: of questions. 630 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 3: And in an era when the. 631 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 6: NFL and its teams are taking money handover fists from 632 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 6: all the gambling companies, I think having some clarity on 633 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 6: the way these things are being officiated and the way 634 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 6: certain players are being adjudicated is paramount, and so I've 635 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 6: said this for a long time, like I just think 636 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 6: it's gotten. 637 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 3: So tangled up. 638 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 6: They've done a bad job incorporating the technology because they 639 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 6: just keep kind of all right, here are more points 640 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 6: of emphasis, here's more technology, and it's more and more 641 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 6: and more and more and more. They've made it so 642 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 6: much harder on the on field officials, and then they 643 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 6: don't know how to communicate it to the public. I 644 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 6: really think that they need to go in this off 645 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 6: season and tear the thing down to the studs and 646 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 6: take all the technology available, take the crews they have available, 647 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 6: maybe add sky judges to each crew, and rebuild it 648 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 6: all together, because I just think what's happening right now 649 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 6: flat out isn't working in the eyes of the public, 650 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 6: and the public trust is such an important thing for 651 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 6: a professional sport. 652 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: Fritzie is the commissioner on the phone to find Albert Breer.

I 671 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 12: feel like for the last two they've been first year, 672 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 12: second year, So I think the best candidate right now 673 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 12: and I want to see what you guys thought would 674 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 12: be Mike McDaniels. And I think not only because of 675 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 12: what he did with TUA and his talent, but his 676 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 12: connection with the Texans, even though he got let go 677 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 12: for showing up drunk to work at the Texans, but 678 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 12: his connection with Demiko when they're both offensive coordinators. I 679 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 12: think it'll do two things. It'll give them what CJ 680 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 12: needs to take it to the next gear, but also 681 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 12: give the Texans what they need to help them make 682 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 12: the decision for the future. 683 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 2: Well, they're not moving on from him, they just shouldn't 684 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: pony up and giving him a long term deal like 685 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 2: the Dolphins did with Tua. I want to see another 686 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 2: at least another year with c J. Stroun. And I 687 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 2: agree with Troy Igman. He's been chasing his rookie year 688 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 2: for two years and he's regressed. And there was a 689 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:01,479 Speaker 2: time when we were gone, boy if you redrafted well, 690 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 2: but CJ. Stroud has the talent he's shown us. But 691 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 2: this is where when you get to the NFL, you 692 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: haven't made it. That's when it begins. And a lot 693 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 2: of these players, certainly at quarterbacking position. Hey, I dominated 694 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: in college. Okay, that he played really well's rookie year. Okay, 695 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 2: Now the league gets a book on you. You have 696 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: to keep adjusting, you have to keep adding to your game. 697 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: And it feels like CJ. Stroud did not do that. 698 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 2: Whereas Drake May he's been you know, he's going to 699 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 2: finish second in the MVP race. Bo Nix has shown 700 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,919 Speaker 2: the ability to come up big in the fourth quarter. 701 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has shown that he can. Jayden Daniels, I 702 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,479 Speaker 2: still need to see at a little bit more from him. 703 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 2: He is incredibly talented, but I got to have you 704 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 2: on the field. As the saying goes, the best ability 705 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 2: is availability, and that's what I need for him. 706 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 7: Yes, Marv, if you're a Texans fan, I'd be really 707 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 7: frustrated because what will Anderson in the Texans defense was 708 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 7: doing with they were keeping those guys in the game, 709 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 7: forcing fumbles, Fluster and Drake May and all you had 710 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 7: to do was put up a trend built for like performance, 711 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 7: like don't mess things up. That's all you really had 712 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 7: to do. 713 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 2: You would have thought that that would be enough for them, 714 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 2: even with all the turnovers, that they still could have 715 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 2: won that game. It felt like with that defense when 716 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: they were down five, I thought, boy, oh boy, this 717 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 2: is an incredible drive for the Patriots, and then they 718 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 2: score the touchdown. But you're watching these opportunities and that's 719 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: where we always come back and say the same thing, Well, 720 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 2: they'll be back next year. No. Detroit was supposed to 721 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 2: be back this year. They're a getting further away. I 722 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: don't think the Niners are here next year. Buffalo new coach. 723 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 2: I don't know. Bad division, yes, but you know you're 724 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 2: trying to figure out these teams where you go, yep, 725 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: they figured it out. They got a window, and your 726 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: window is only two or three years unless you're really 727 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 2: really fortunate and smart like the Chiefs and then the 728 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: Patriots during the Belichick Brady years. You know, we thought 729 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 2: the Eagles, we don't. Is there window still open? It 730 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 2: should be right, But then I'm not so sure. I 731 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 2: thought something all along this year. It just it never 732 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 2: felt easy for the Eagles. And as a result, you know, 733 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 2: you have a coach maybe on the hot seat going 734 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 2: into next year. Are they all in with their quarterback? 735 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 2: Are you going to have aj Brown there next year? 736 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 2: Does he want to be there? Offensive line? Is it 737 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 2: going to be healthy enough? I mean even the defense, 738 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 2: defensive line. So there's so many factors that go into this. Yes, Paulie. 739 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 4: Going back to the Texans, if you're a Texans fans, 740 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 4: you're watching that game, going if we can get a 741 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 4: little offense and get by this team. We got Jarrett 742 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 4: Stidham versus our defense next week to get to the 743 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. 744 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yes, this day in sports history. 745 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 4: Paul the NFL bought the franchise the New York Yankees 746 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 4: from Ted Collins. The franchise was then awarded to a 747 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 4: group from Dallas on January twenty fourth. Eventually that became 748 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys. The CFL became the CFL in nineteen 749 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 4: fifty eight, and the NHL announced that the Winnipeg Jets 750 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety six could move to Phoenix. 751 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 2: This was the two Brady fumble against the Raiders, but 752 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 2: not a fumble was ruled an incomplete pass, the tuck rule. 753 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 2: The tuck rule. Also on this day, nineteen seventy four, 754 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: Notre Dame beat UCLA, ending the bruins eighty eight game 755 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 2: winning streak. Bill Walton hit that was always his worst day. 756 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 2: And I think Digger Phelps would always call Bill on 757 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 2: this day because Digger was the coach of Notre Dame 758 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 2: and beat Bill and the Bruins in South Ben Billy. 759 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 2: Anybody taking Miami tonight, straight up? Anybody got moneyline Miami 760 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 2: straight up? 761 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 5: Oh man, I really want that, you know what. I 762 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 5: have a real like my head says Indiana. My heart 763 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 5: says Miami. 764 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 2: Is that a yen? 765 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 5: I'll take it? Yeah, you got Miami straight up. I'll 766 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 5: jump in there. Yeah, why not, I'll take Miami straight up. 767 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 2: It's it's kind of I'm I'm there with you. I 768 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 2: don't know why. It was like everybody was in on 769 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 2: the Texans. I'm like, I'm taking the Patriots. 770 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 5: That's why I'm positive Jared's Didham is going to like 771 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 5: absolutely light the world on fire against that. 772 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 3: Todd. 773 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 2: What did I Learn? On today's award nominated program. 774 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 7: Kristen Syracuse makes a good point that selling for a 775 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 7: field all these days is looked at us A losing 776 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 7: four points not getting three. 777 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It looks like helure for Fritzie Seaton, 778 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 2: Marv Paula, yours truly the back room guys.
