I am shocked that 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: this came up in the podcast. It took you all 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: of fifteen seconds. I gotta walk out. Every year there's 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: a giveaway of Super Bowl um memorabilia and T shirts 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: and things that the employees get.

It's not Greg 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: dot com and NFL dot com. And I say, I 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: said to the group, Gary Kubiak speaks. The world needs 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: to know. I said to the group, I said, hey, uh, 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: swag day. Today's a swag bag day. Greg shoots up 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: out of his chair and say, oh, let's go get 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: it before we go lunch. They start walking away and 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: I said, hey, give me, give me like a minute. 21 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: I need to tweet out the scoob back story left 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: without me. I didn't know that the boss issue in order, 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: So I didn't know you requested to wait for you. 24 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Then I wouldn't I wouldn't have left. But the whole 25 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: point was we were all gonna be going to lunch together, 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: and so I figured, this is something we need to 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: get out of the way before we all go to 28 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: lunch together. I'm just gonna go do that. I didn't 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: know that we all had to walk in unison at 30 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: all times. Let the record show that I pointed out 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: knowing the last time this happened, the first walk out. Yeah, 32 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: the time, whether would be repercussions if we didn't, if 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: we left you behind. So I held the door open 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: for a while, and then I saw those guys going 35 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: through the other door, so I kind of left. Greg. 36 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: You should know I'm motivated mostly by slights perceived slights. Uh. 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: And I also know because I was watching it the 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: whole time. I was anning and I said, Greg's leading 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: the charge out and it speaks to a bigger issue 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: with Greg. We're all going to lunch together two minutes later, 41 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: and we're gonna put it out there. This is a 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: culture that Greg's created. Remember before Greg came and somebody 43 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: would sneeze in the cubicle and someone would say bless you. 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: When Gregg came, people stop saying blessed now here it's 45 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: saying do you do you really want to? In your defense, Chris, 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: Chris did bring up he was a little worried, and 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: Mark also had some it seems like some consternation. Do 48 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: you want to be known because we're gonna hear about 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: it for the next exactly three weeks. You want to 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: be known as the guy that everyone feels like you 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: have to walk around egg on eggshells? That the D 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: word did come up a few times, you know, dude, 53 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: you told that, you said you you actually said recently 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to be coddled. You know, we were 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: just walking over there walking back. I didn't know it 56 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: was a thing. It hurt. It hurt, and I even 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: made a point that, oh, this is my first grab bag. 58 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: My employment status changed within the company recently, and I 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: was excited to do it with you guys. You left 60 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: me behind. I think what you're talking about here's a 61 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: general breakdown and values. Thank you. By the way, we're 62 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: just getting in line to pick up something and then 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: and then I had a deal. There's nothing indignation of 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: getting on the line of being four spots behind you. Guys, 65 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: who and what happened? Then you came back Mark and 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: joined me. But then you shot a couple of taggers 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: at me. Well, coup all your behavior was a little 68 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit ill conceived because you're because 69 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: you're such a sweet guy. Mark. You knew it was bad, 70 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: but you let the bully Greg lead the charge and 71 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: you were guilty. Then you hit out at me. This 72 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: is where if this were in writing, there'd be an 73 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: asterix and it would say you go to the bottom 74 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: of the page. Fifteen minutes later, west Stan and Greg 75 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: have no problem leaving to go to lunch while Mark 76 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: writes a post on Mark Trustman bombs. But but it's 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: like no one would have said, wait a minute, but 78 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: that's not gentlemanly enough. Let's sit and wait for Mark 79 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: to write his Mark Trustment post. Then we'll all go 80 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: have lunch together. If it's so, we don't we do 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: everything together. The whole thing was we were about to 82 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: go all walk over and have lunch together anyways, So 83 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: I was just getting this thing out of the way. 84 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: It was like going to the bathroom before lunch. But 85 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: it was like the football gods the other day punished 86 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy for not being aggressive. And you know what, 87 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the football gods he heard the storm going around our desk. 88 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: And you know where I'm going with this, Dan. I 89 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: think the minute we got back, or just before we 90 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: got back, a few minutes ahead of you, Dan, because 91 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: you were behind in line, big breaking news happened. And 92 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: if we're all gone, Mark Trestman got the job here 93 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: with Baltimore. If we're all gone there together, no one 94 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: at the NFL is on the desk to start that. 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: Mark Trestman is going to Baltimore and the world waits 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: for it. We've got a job here to do. Mark 97 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: jumped on that right away, and I think that was 98 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: the football gods telling me you made the right decision. 99 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: By the way I was, that's all good, that's all good. 100 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Do you know what the best line of this whole 101 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: thing was Greg saying, do you think we should plan 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: our lives around your thirteen year old girl mentality? Which, 103 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: by the way, sexist, Wall Greg is, while we're here, 104 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: that was sexist, And I was so stunned by the 105 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: betrayal that when I went into the room. You know, 106 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: like in the movies where the person a bomb goes 107 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: off and the person like loses their like way and 108 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: all they hear is like the ear piercing sound. That's 109 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: all they got. I'm in that room looking for looking 110 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: for this, uh the skier, and I couldn't even understand 111 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: what was happening. I know what's happening, I just don't 112 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: know where this ends. Like do we all should we 113 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: all go to the bathroom together? You know, I mean 114 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: that would be great. Should I walk you out to 115 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: your car every day? This is the sound that I 116 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: heard when I was trying to go through pick out 117 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: my Super Bowl gear, lost all my senses, wobbling around. 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: The lady looked at me like, are you okay? At 119 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: least somebody I don't think you can handle? Free stuff 120 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: from the NFL was probably shouldn't send you back. I'm 121 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: just saying it wasn't the best moment. And by the way, 122 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: when Greg, when people sneeze, you should say bless you 123 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: or consume tight whatever I say, bless you. Reggie. Let's 124 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: get into the rest of the podcast. Listen, We're all 125 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: every Webster episode request that's showing up the air. Thirty 126 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: years ago, he got mad at God because his mom 127 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: and dad died, so he used to say Reggie Jackson 128 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: when somebody sneezed. I have to admit I probably never 129 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: noticed when people sneeze because I'm a space get at. 130 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: You would know that sitting next to me. I've always 131 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 1: everything is about ten seconds later entering my brain. Okay, 132 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm good, we got passes. It's good that we talked 133 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: about it. I can't believe it took TV so long 134 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: to drop that. Alright, this is our this is our 135 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: second to last show, um, before we head to Arizona. 136 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a news heavy show. We 137 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: got a lot to get to and then we're gonna 138 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: hand out some awards. Uh. We decided what to call 139 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: this west Uh Hiring Awards something like that sounds good, 140 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: the coach Hiring and Firing Awards, the new Hire Awards, 141 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: the new Hire Awards. There, that sounds good. That's it's workable. Uh. 142 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: So we'll get to that uh after the news. But 143 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: let's let's start with the news. There's just so much 144 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: to get to right now. UM, so let's get to 145 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: some news, buddy, Come on, t D. I believe that 146 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: is Indy Sarah's little girl, who sent a sound clip 147 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: recently of her girl. I wish I knew the daughter's name. 148 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: What do you know, Ellie? Very good, Dudie, starting to 149 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: make it very good. T D. You're gonna be a 150 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: great father one day. You know that he might already 151 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: be a father. That got a huge laughter of Zach. 152 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: Maybe Zach knows something that we don't. All right, let's start. 153 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Let's start. Let's start with Gary Kubiak, who was introduced 154 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: on Tuesday as the fifteenth head coach in Denver Bronco's history. 155 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: He takes over for John Fox who left. I guess 156 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: there was a decision made that they would part way 157 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: is amicably, and now Gary Kubiak comes on. He was 158 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: a former teammate of John Elway for many years, was 159 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens offensive coordinator last year, and now he joins 160 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos. And I this was kind of an interesting 161 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: press conference, guys, because, uh, despite it being Gary Kubiak's 162 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: introductory press conference, John Elway was at the podium for 163 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: the same amount of time, if not more than Kubiak, 164 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: which to me just hammer held the point that yes, 165 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: Kubiak is the new coach, but Elway is the boss 166 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: and everything runs through him. And and that's where we're 167 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: at with that organization right now. It's like when the 168 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: Dolphin entire Bill Parcels to be there, Football's are and 169 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: then nobody paid attention to Tony Sperano and Jeff Ireland 170 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: because Parcels was overseen. How did that work out? Uh? 171 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: It was, but I don't know if you can blame 172 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Parcels for that. How it worked out was that Bill 173 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: Parselves and Jeff Ireland no longer speak had hammer home 174 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: for me. I think again, something John Elway, who from 175 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: the age of like twelve has been told you're the 176 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: center of the universe. You're the starting quarterback. You know 177 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: what this guy you want to talk? I don't think 178 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: Dan is you can't call Dana diva when John Elway 179 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: exists on this planet because l Way the other day 180 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: number one open up no, no, no, you know it 181 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: opens up the press conference ether day. But calling John 182 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: Fox John Elway when he thanks essentially himself, all right, 183 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: fair enough, but then today was a pretty amazing But 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: as Dan points out, he completely overshadows Gary Kubiak's introductory 185 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: press conference, and what this is is a guy you 186 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: He felt a little burned. I think there was a 187 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: lot of difference of opinion where people said, you know, 188 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: John Elway, your opinion might not be the only thing 189 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: in the building. We might want to question it. You 190 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: know what, John Fox, You're out. I'm gonna get someone 191 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: in here who's my old pew who understood all along 192 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: that his role was number two to my number one, 193 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: and he's not gonna question Elway, and it's gonna hurt 194 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: the Bronx flunky to John Elway, Yes I am. I mean, 195 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Gary Kubiak is that at heart, but 196 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: that's the dynamic that's going on here. Well, he literally 197 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: was the backup for years. I mean you can't except 198 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: for when he was the offensive coordinator and they won 199 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: super Bowls. He is also a coach. He's also a 200 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: coach that went through a transition of a superstar quarterback 201 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: retiring into the next phase. I give Kubiak credit, I 202 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: mean l Way credit that when they asked him, they 203 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: tried to put him on the spot with a question 204 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: about you know, why did you go through all this 205 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: rigamarole to interview other coaches, wasn't it Kubiak all along? 206 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: And he was just like, yeah, he was the top 207 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: of the list the whole time. This was my plan 208 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: the whole time. It was basically just a question if 209 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Kubiak wanted to do it, and he did. He wants 210 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: He has this vision of the Broncos as this seamless 211 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: team that's existed since he was a player in tradition, 212 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: and Kubiak is the guy to bring that. And I'm 213 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: not sure if Kubiak is a great head coach, but 214 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: he does have a defined skill set and a defined 215 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: offense that works, and that's more than a lot of 216 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: head coaches have, So I don't really have a huge 217 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: problem with it. It might be more than John Fox 218 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: as football head. Question is, is Gary Kubiak's offense a 219 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: good fit for what Peyton Manning does and the offenses 220 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: he's run in his career. I think all we can 221 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: do is speculate on that everything Gary Kubiak's ever run 222 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: has needed a mobile quarterback. Joe Flacco is a lot 223 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: more mobile than people than he's perceived to be. But 224 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: then Kubiak can you know his former players swear on 225 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: their grave that he can change his offense if he 226 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: needs to. I mean, Matt Shop is not exactly Randall 227 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: Cunningham out there. So he ran a very successful Texans 228 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: offense with a limited quarterback and a quarterback that really 229 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: wasn't that mobile. I know they did a lot of 230 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: boots and everything like that. I thought the answer on 231 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: Manning today was interesting that he's talked to Manning and 232 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: they're gonna listen to Manning and they're just waiting, and 233 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: Kubiak made it clear we're gonna make an offense around 234 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning if he wants to play. So I I 235 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: do think the conspiracy theorists that believe this is always 236 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: way of pushing Manning out the door, saying or not 237 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: in control here. I don't know if I really buy that. 238 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: I think I think they want Manning back. I think 239 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: he's just they're also bringing a coach and potentially look 240 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: beyond whatever Manning's decision is, which is not a terrible idea. 241 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: And if you're Gary Kubiak or any head coach and 242 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: you can't shift your offense to fit Peyton Manning if 243 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: he's coming back for one year, then you're in the 244 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: wrong position. Anyways, I mean, you're you're not gonna take 245 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning to put him on endless rollouts. That's absurd. 246 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean they'll have to shift it. This is the 247 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: tough the toughest job though. It's the opposite of what 248 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: Parcels did every year when he just picked the good 249 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: looking too and fourteen team that's easy to revive. He's 250 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: got a team where the bar has been established. If 251 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: you losing the Super Bowl and then you lose as 252 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: a team that gets to buy, you're getting fired and 253 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: you might not have Peyton Manning next year. It's like 254 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: this is an impossible job. Alright. Moving on, let's talk 255 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: Greg deflate Gate. Yeah, I thought we were. I thought 256 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: we agree we're gonna stopp throwing Gate on. I don't know, 257 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Don't even know. Why do people 258 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: say gate is just because because that's simply like, how 259 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: did that end up being tacause it was one of 260 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: the like pivotal historical moments that represented you know, controversy 261 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: and basically government breakdown, and so it got tacked on 262 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: from there, probably more generously more recently than it did 263 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: right after a half. I think we've learned by now 264 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: that sports writers aren't creative, original thinkers. I mean, what, 265 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: this is not the most creative industry alright anyway, West, 266 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: you could talk that out at the Super Bowl when 267 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: you see all these guys in person. Bill Belichick is 268 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: denying that the Patriots had anything to do with deflating 269 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: balls are and since he he knew nothing about it 270 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: until Monday morning, his quote will cooperate fully with whatever 271 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: the league wants, whatever questions they ask us. And then 272 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: Tom Brady laughed it off when he was on his 273 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: Boston radio show, as he is every week. I think 274 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: I've heard it all at this point. This that's the 275 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: last of my worries. I don't even respond to stuff 276 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: like this. Uh, gentlemen, I don't know, Like it doesn't 277 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: seem like a big deal, But is it weird that 278 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: this stuff continues to just follow around the Patriots. There's 279 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: always something new about Patriots and something tied to sportsmanship. 280 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: There's a lot of smoke, and it often comes after 281 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: beating the Colts in an f C championship. I mean 282 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: rules were changed when they beat the Colts in the 283 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: a f C Championship back in two thousand three or 284 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: two thousand four. Poleyan goes crazy. They basically made defensive 285 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: holding a rule of emphasis after that, I mean, it 286 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: is bizarre. I don't. I didn't know anything about the 287 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: whole deflating football phenomenon. Apparently it's it's a thing. I 288 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: didn't start with Peyton Manning. Well, Peyton Manning pushed for 289 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: the rules to be relaxed in terms of being able 290 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: to deflate them a little because I guess you can 291 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: get a better grip on the ball. So now there's 292 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: a minimum and a maximum. And Aaron Rodgers says there 293 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a maximum, And I don't. I've learned a 294 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: lot about these rules this week, so correct me if 295 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: I'm wrong here. What's your say? Is that the Indianapolis 296 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: cools or the tattle tales of the NFL? No, I mean, 297 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna find here. I have 298 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: a feeling they're not gonna Even if they did find 299 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: anything serious, it's not gonna be It's hard to prove. 300 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: It's not gonna give him like takeaway draft picks. To quell. 301 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: The report from Newsday and Bob Glauber was that to quell, 302 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: Jackson intercepted one of Brady's passes and he thought it 303 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: was a little deflated, so he gave it to the 304 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: coach and then gave it to the officials. And and 305 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: that was in the second quarter. After halftime. You know, 306 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: they they blew the Colts out, So I don't know, 307 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. The officials hold the ball 308 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: every play you can see it on TV. Could have 309 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: been playing with a beach ball. It wouldn't have mattered rank. 310 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they literally hold the ball before every 311 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: single play and put it on the ground so they 312 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: didn't think it was a problem. Snatches get statch. Don't 313 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: you feel like anytime someone gets caught for something, there's 314 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: probably half the other league is doing this, if not 315 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: the arrest of the league in general. And these coaches 316 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: float around for the team to team and like the 317 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: Patriots invented this, but it's weird that all these things 318 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: always come back to the Patriots. Did I miss anything? 319 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: Spy gate? Uh, receiver eligible gate? Well, unless you're Josh 320 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: McDaniels that went to Denver and got nailed for the 321 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, is there anything else? Was there another? 322 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: Those are three things that this defensive holding thing. It 323 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: wasn't like they were cheating, but essentially complained. Uh, I'll 324 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: call that holding gate, defensive holding gate, touck gate gate gate. Um. 325 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, whatever, Greg, I mean, your team is a 326 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: bunch of cheaters. Give me a break. It's a flake, 327 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: g I didn't know. Greg. If you're okay with that, 328 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: we're okay with it. I didn't know such a thing that, 329 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: like the thing you need to get past the quarterbacks 330 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: sand the balls they stand down, the laces there, they 331 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: mark them up, but it's a whole thing. Every team 332 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: has their own set of balls, but the officials check 333 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: them ahead of time. That's the part I don't I 334 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: don't really be hard to prove someone gonna get away 335 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: would care well, someone said another quarterback, And now I'm 336 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: forgetting who was was that? When it's cold and raining, 337 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: like the balls just deflate naturally, just a little bit, 338 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean not. They thought it was just a product 339 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: of of nature exactly, she said. Moving on, So I'll 340 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: tell you. I'll use a line from Mark Sessler here, 341 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: opening in a post he wrote this morning. It didn't 342 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: take long for the Baltimore Ravens to unearthed Gary Kubiak's replacement, 343 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: Mark Trustman buried in the ground but still alive, thankfully 344 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: hired his offense coordinator. After spending the past two seasons 345 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: as head coach of the Bears, He's now the Ravens 346 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: O C. And Mark Trustman came to the Bears. Is 347 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: the great quarterback Whisperer Whisperer Gate it turned into because 348 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: it didn't really work out with Cutler, but now he 349 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: goes to uh work with Jake Joe Flacco. It seems 350 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: like a nice spot. I'm just glad we know about 351 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: this story before the podcast. If it was up to Dan, 352 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: we'd still be in line waited for don't let your 353 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: He was under the ground plaid unearthed, okay, but the 354 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: second part was not. I don't know if he was 355 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: that hard to find. I guess his dance right. Well, 356 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: you know what, when you're this is like the fourteenth 357 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: coordinator supposed you gotta start rewriting these leads to some degree. 358 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: As West noted, we're not that creative. So actually, you 359 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: love Trustman. I remember a couple of years ago you 360 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: had a big crush on him because he writes his 361 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: name the same way as you. Alight, it went beyond that, 362 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: you know again, misquoted on some level. He has a 363 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: history with the Harbors. Jim Harbaugh said once that Mark 364 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: Trestman taught him everything he knew when they were Raiders 365 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: assistants together. He also called uh the bears hiring of 366 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: Trustman a grand slam. I don't you think this is 367 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: a great fit. I think it's perfect. I have major 368 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: questions about it. I mean, I think the world of 369 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: Trustman is an offensive mind. But that offense was turned 370 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: around because of Garret Kubiak's work on the offensive line 371 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: in the running game with his own blocking scheme. I 372 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: don't know that Mark Trustman is going to have a 373 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: good running game. The better higher would have been Kyle 374 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: Shanahan and they were interested in him, and that didn't happen, 375 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: and that would have just been a complete seamless. It 376 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: would have like you didn't even hire a new coordinator 377 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: who had been continuity and what it is for Joe 378 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: Flackwood's three offenses and three years. But I do think 379 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: the Trustman has done a good job outside of Cutler, 380 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: and he's not color is not the first guy, trust 381 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: me not the first guy to get whacked by Cutler. Here, 382 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: trust means on a good job everywhere he's gone with 383 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks and Flacco. I think it's a much better 384 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: product to work with Rich Gannon, Steve Young, and Scott Mitchell. 385 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: Swear By him gave them all and Trustman was with 386 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders and was a coordinator oh one too, oh 387 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: three where they do in zone block. I mean it 388 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: is a West Coast type of system, so maybe they 389 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: can't have some continuity. Maybe maybe I do hope for 390 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense and their fans for whatever it's worth, 391 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: that they do just keep Kubiak system as much as possible, 392 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: because that's the best Ravens offense ever in franchise history. 393 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's never looked better. That's why it was 394 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: such a big loss for him to go. All right, 395 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: let's move on, Mark. You mentioned Kyle Shanahan. It's looking 396 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: like almost a slam dunk now that the Atlanta Falcons 397 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: will hire Shanahan as their offensive coordinator and Dan Quinn, 398 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: the seahawksh defensive coordinator, as their next head coach. They 399 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: have to wait, of course, the Seahawks have to play 400 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and then after the deal gets done. 401 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: But a nice little pairing here, uh, dan Quinn and 402 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan taking over the Atlanta Falcons. To me, it's 403 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: got it's got a lot more zest to it than 404 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: a Mike Smith led unit. I think it's great. I 405 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: mean it's like number for me, Number one. It starts 406 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: with Shanahan and Matt Ryan is he's gonna It's a 407 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: major upgrade from going from Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manzel. 408 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: If you're Kyle Shanahan, I think he did that for 409 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: his own career. Longe Activity and Quinn. I mean, Quinn 410 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: was the hot candidate last year as well that people 411 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: didn't want to wait around for. And I don't have 412 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: a problem with I don't understand all the people that 413 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: have issues with teams waiting an extra week or two 414 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: to get the right guy a month from now. Who cares. 415 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: It's the teams that seem to have the issue that 416 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: they're just they just can't wait, that they just have 417 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: to get it done. They feel like, you can't wait 418 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: these extra three weeks. It seems crazy because the Jets, 419 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people talk Todd Bowls that they wanted 420 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: Quinn and then they went to Balls and maybe it 421 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: was because they didn't want to wait. And I read 422 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: that one of the major concerns is if you wait 423 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: that long, you really struggle to put together a good 424 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: staff behind the coach. So maybe that's the main reason why. 425 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: But in the Falcons case, they're gonna get a guy 426 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: in Kyle Shanahan. That's a respective guy. But I will 427 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: one thing on Shanahan and Mark maybe you can jump 428 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: in because he was with the Browns last year. Why 429 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: people so get so excited about Kyle Shanahan. What has 430 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: he really done to show himself as a really good 431 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: offensive coording And I think it's it's very similar to 432 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: what we just talked about with Kubiak, which is that 433 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: it's that zone blocking scheme. In Cleveland's running offense went 434 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: from a league low four touchdowns in two thousand thirteen 435 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: to fourth in the league with seventeen last year. It's 436 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: a run based offense. They've got to get some running 437 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: backs in Atlanta. But Shanahan is a very creative play card. 438 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: Think when you get in a rhythm too, he gets deadly. 439 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: I love this pairing. Dan Quinn was my favorite candidate 440 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: out there, and of course we're ignorant about what he's 441 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna do as a head coach. We's all a leap 442 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: of faith with these guys, but first time head coaches, 443 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: and you're bringing in an offensive mind like Kyle Shannon. 444 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: And here's why I love the hire dan. When he 445 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: was with Kubiak in Houston, the years that Shanahan ran 446 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: the offense were by far their best years as an offense. 447 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: He got the best out of match shop. He goes 448 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: to the Redskins, slow plays the entire league in the preseason, 449 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: then unearthed some masterpiece for Robert Griffin's rookie season. He's 450 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: shown that he can run basically three or four different 451 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: kinds of offenses, the pistol, the boot, action, a normal 452 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: he did all play action with Brian Hoyer turned him 453 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: into a viable starter, which I mean softball pants. Bet 454 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: that that shocked me that Brian Horror was turned into 455 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: a viable starter. I I love everything Kyle Shannon's ever 456 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: done as an offensive coordinate. And like the old coordinators, 457 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: the annoying ones that we're gonna take our system, bring 458 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: them to a team and stuffed players into the only 459 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: offense we know, Shanahan is flexible. He's gonna go make 460 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: make offense. The offense in Atlanta work around the players. 461 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: I totally agree. And it's not just that he's good 462 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: with quarterbacks and it's not just that he has a 463 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: great running game. He has both of them. And the 464 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: only exception was when r G three was rushed back 465 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: from an injury. Thoughts on this, gentleman, No, these guys, 466 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: they haven't nailed Yeah, I like it. Great work, gentlemen. 467 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: The Bears have found their new defensive coordinator. His name 468 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: is vic Fangiol. Vanjo, of course, was the d C 469 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: of the Niners. Uh. Now he takes over a Bear's 470 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: defense along with John Fox. Uh. Your thoughts on this high? Great? 471 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: Your turn take the floor? Why is it my turn 472 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: turn to talk? Like another one? People are all excited 473 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: about Vick vic Fangio. He did do a good job 474 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. It's a very creative defense to watch. 475 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: They don't have any talent there, But I think of 476 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: all the defensive coordinators that were out there, he probably 477 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: has the most sizzle just in terms of like he's 478 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: the most fun to watch. If you're a fan of 479 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: your team and you want to see a creative, aggressive 480 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: type of defense, he's your guy. Top five defense every 481 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: year he was in San Francisco, including this year when 482 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: he lost All Pro Alden Smith, All Pro, Patrick Willis 483 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: All Pro, Navarro Bowman, turned Antoine Bathet into a star, 484 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: turned Parish Cox and Chris Culliver into a great cornerback duo, 485 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: and he's bringing along secondary coach at Donnitell. I believe. 486 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: I think that's a great parent And really, the Bears 487 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: are gonna have to go to a three four I 488 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: would imagine, because that's what Fonzio has always run and 489 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: had the best linebacker corps of all time in New 490 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: Orleans as their linebackers coach with Ricky Jackson, Patrick Patrick Swilling, 491 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: Van Johnson and Sam Mills, and then goes to San 492 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: Francisco and has the second best or rivaling the Saints 493 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: for the best linebacker corp of all time. So I 494 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: think you would you should look for the Bears to 495 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: take a edge rusher outside linebacker in the first round 496 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: of the draft. I like that John Fox, who is 497 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: in theory of defensive minded coach. He's really turned into 498 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: that coach that it's like, that's not gonna be his defense, 499 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be ck Fangio's defense. He's not afraid to 500 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: admit like that he doesn't need to be running the 501 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: defense at this point. He hires someone that can do 502 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: it for him. He just kicks back and has a 503 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: few time And finally we head back to Bill Belichick, who, Uh, 504 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: last week we heard him praising Andrew Luck. I think 505 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: he called him a sixth wide receiver at one point, 506 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: said he was God's gift to football. Now he's praising 507 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Anybody picking up a pattern here. He says 508 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: he's similar to Roger staw back. Russell Wilson is Uh. 509 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: Here's Belichick's quote during a Tuesday conference call. I can't 510 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: really put it into words. Well, you gotta think about Belichick, 511 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: like can really put it into words. Wilson just got 512 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: an instinctive this. He just knows where people are. It 513 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: looks like he's going to get tackled and he doesn't. 514 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me of no one can hear you 515 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: right now, by the way, Yeah, the listeners can't even 516 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: hear you. You think he doesn't see him, but he 517 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: sees them or someone knows that. Well, that's an ideal, Belichick. 518 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: That's a nice job I did right there. If if 519 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: you know what Belichick saying, you know what I just said, 520 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: it's not as an offensive. Some guy on Twitter was 521 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: not happy with one of your invitations. Do you know 522 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I don't even remember what it was. Hey, 523 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, that was it. I don't remember, Richard. Yeah, 524 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't remember my Richard sermon. Well, the Belichick O 525 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: files should be out because this is a this is 526 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: that's yeah, that one, and I don't think that went over. 527 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: So I disagree when you get Belichick talking about history 528 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: and you get him talking about the Naval Academy and 529 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: his boyhood idol, Roger Stoback. He grew up on the 530 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: campus of the Naval Academy seeing sto Back play every 531 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: day to compare his hero and the guy if you 532 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: watch the sto Back Football life, I believe it was 533 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: basically Belichick thinks Stacks the greatest player of all time, 534 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: greatest quarterback, or he's it's his favorite player of all time. 535 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: To call Russell Wilson that to remind them, that's quite 536 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: a compliment. This wasn't just coach speak. He went into 537 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: specifics of why he adores the way Russell Wilson plays, 538 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: And to me, Bill Belgian, I know this is gonna 539 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: sound like a ludicrous statement. Has the most comprehensive football 540 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: knowledge of any man who's ever walked the face of 541 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: the earth. We've I mean, he's a bipedal football encyclopedia. 542 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: He has the largest library in the world of American football, 543 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: according to Peter King. And he's the father of a 544 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: guy on the campus. He's the son of a man 545 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: who is thought by many to be the greatest scout 546 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: in NFL history. So he's basically looking at game film 547 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: when he was eight years old, tail and tail and 548 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 1: his father around and catching passes from Roger Stallback. This 549 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: is high praise. Well this Roger Stala wantabs on the 550 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: other team. You know, he's a nice young player. It 551 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: sounds like he's he's he's just um, you know, getting 552 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: filling his mind up. Russell wills his mind up and 553 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: just psyching him out, just like you do with Andrew 554 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: Love dropped a twelve for thirty three for and two 555 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: picks after Belichick pumped him up. I think Russell Wilson's 556 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: He's too caj though, to buy into parcels. I think 557 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: what Belichick saying is that Russell Wilson has this factor 558 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: that we wouldn't that, we would never talk about it. 559 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: We almost laugh about because it's really hard to quantity 560 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: talking about it. I think that's a I think that's 561 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: how what he's saying that about Russell Wilson, that the 562 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: playing the quarterback. What about Tom Brady bro He's got 563 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: that too, but in a different way. But the quarterback 564 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: position is about leadership. It's about making the right play 565 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: at the right time. It's about some of it is undefinable, 566 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: and it's athleticism. I mean, he's talking about that in 567 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: terms of getting away from the defensive ends and still 568 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: making it play. And I think that's where he sees 569 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: the comparisons. When people talk about Stoback, that's how they 570 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: talk about stomach. They weren't exactly sure how he always 571 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: got it done, but he but he did. Us to 572 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: start to correct you, but I've been saying, that's this 573 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: day one, baby, this day one. All he's saying, that's 574 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: not a correction. What do you mean I'm saying, you said, no, 575 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: we don't talk about it. I know you're talking about 576 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: the guys in front of the glass, but I've been 577 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: saying it's this day one. I think I've heard you 578 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: call Russell Wilson a point guard. Yeah, which is a 579 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: great Well, that's that's exactly what Belichick saying, next level 580 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: awareness did. He has peripheral vision and he sees windows 581 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: like Larry Bird saw windows of passing right, and and 582 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: well done, t D. I know this might shock you, TD, 583 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: but it means a little more coming from one of 584 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: the greatest football coaches of all time than it does 585 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: from a guy that you know is producing this podcast. Wait, 586 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: Larry Bird was a small forward. He was a power 587 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: forward and small forward I'm losing and confusing. I think 588 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: it's a great way to get that in Brady's head 589 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: and say, wait a minute, you're calling the opposing quarterback 590 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: Roger Stall back to weeks before and I coach Belichick, 591 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: try to cement our legacy. What am I blamed Gambert? Right? 592 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: All right? And that's what's happening, all right, guys. Uh So, Yeah, 593 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: we talked a lot about coaches in the news, but listen, 594 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: that's a that's a big part of the season.

Starting with Thursday show 597 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: and then the two shows leading up to the super 598 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: Bowl and then of course the recap shows. You're gonna 599 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: get plenty of super Bowl talk, but let's do a 600 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: little more coaching.

Just give me a 651 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: name that you think would be good as an offensive coordinator? 652 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: What if I throw a name on Mark? Trust He 653 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: invented a new language at one point during that answer 654 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: for Handsome Hank, his buddy Time Sila. Handsome hanks belief 655 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: in Tom Sula is helped helping me give him a 656 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: little bit of a longer. Le said, Yeah, you want 657 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: to see how this goes. Maybe he's not so great 658 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: with the media, you know, big, I trust hanks judgment 659 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: on these things and I he says, he's a genuinely 660 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: great person and he's respected by his players, But sometimes 661 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that. That first day on the job, 662 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: it seemed like, well, they plucked a defensive line coach 663 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: and made him the and put him in the big chair, 664 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: and maybe he's not supposed to be in the The 665 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: problem is, like his coach, all you hear is players 666 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: love him and that that's from top to bottom. They're 667 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: excited about him being elevated. But the role of head 668 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: coach is not just teacher. It's you've got to be 669 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,479 Speaker 1: out front with the media. And if the Niners don't 670 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: start six and two like they do almost every unger, 671 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and they and they, let's say they start 672 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: three and six and they're starting to ask Tom Sula 673 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: tough questions and all we get is the stuff we've 674 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: got during what we've seen them so far in the media, 675 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: you're failing at half your job. You have to be 676 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: the figurehead and the basically the voice over what's happening, 677 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: and that's a huge part of the role. Being loved 678 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: is overrated. I mean, Rex Ryan's loved. His career record 679 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: is under Bucky Brooks told us in the Lunch from 680 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: the Day, basically, listen, if you are if if things 681 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: start one and three, if they start ugly, that all 682 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: that love goes away real fashion. What everyone's careers here, 683 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: and then had a quote where he said he didn't 684 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: think Tom Sula and he meant it as a compliment, 685 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: but he said he didn't think Tom Sula would be 686 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: as tough on them as Harbaugh, and that founded nice 687 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: to him. But as a fan, you're kind of thing 688 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: that is that good for all the Dave Campo vibe 689 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: that Tom Seli is giving off here as a guy 690 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: who's coming in after a great coach and is probably gonna, 691 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. It seems like a guy who's going 692 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: to be an afterthought in a decade. I think as 693 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: easy answer here is the Jack del Rio is the 694 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: worst higher and look, I mean it was. It was 695 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: uninspired anyway, and then he hires Bill Musgrave, who was 696 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: one of the most unimaginative offensive coordinators you could find oversaw. 697 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: The development of Byron Leftwitch and Christian Ponder does not 698 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: to to first round early first round draft picks does 699 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: not bode well for developing David or Derek Carr. The 700 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: only caveat there is you're the Raiders and you just 701 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: need to win a few more games to buy yourself time. 702 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: Why didn't they that the category was what most likely 703 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: to fail higher most dooms for failure. The Raiders have 704 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: failed for a decade, So I think del Rio he 705 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: was nominated. Kubiak needs to be a strong choice because 706 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: you're talking about a team like skyrocketing to the Super 707 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: Bowl three. You know, multiple playoff appearances under Peyton Manning. 708 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: You might not have Manning. This could be the Brian 709 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: Greasy Broncos that Mike Shanahan had to go out on. 710 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: How about Rex Ryan getting off the hook here? A 711 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: lot of people said he was the favorite to win 712 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: this award. I's got tough competition for he's got to 713 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: good talents, charisma will carry him long after they suck 714 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: and people realize it a couple of years. It's getting ready. 715 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: That's why exactly all right, next award, Next category, the 716 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: best Ghost from the Past. And this is someone that 717 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: was kind of forgotten and all of a sudden they 718 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: popped up and they're back on the grid and they 719 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: they got a job or might be getting a job. 720 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: Here we go the nominees are Mike Martz the Cleveland job. 721 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: He's been connected to Eric Manginie interviewing for a decordinator role. 722 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: Where's that in Oakland and Oakland? Oh, that's about right. 723 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan, who's floating around trying to get back in 724 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: the league, Mike Holmgren, your boy Mark and Mike Singletary 725 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: shot at this, and the winner is I asked, sorry, 726 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: I asked us a damn check. Two. When we do 727 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: the check, he's what's with the what's with the sound 728 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: effect of ripping in paper? Oh, you're opening the envelope. Yeah, 729 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: but you don't ever hear it though doing a broadcast, 730 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 1: you don't never hear a ripping or open paper. Well, 731 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: I could drop it. I like, I thought, I thought 732 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: it was fun. I like, he's actually an opening an 733 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: envelope here with stuff inside of it. Yeah, that's the 734 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 1: other thing. Later in the illusion of the show, it's 735 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: an anticipation level. They're like, thank you, and the winner 736 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: is Mike Shanahan, whoa a little bit of an upset here. 737 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: Mike wants back in, and it was like everybody's like no, 738 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: I no, of course not. I feel like that that's agents. 739 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: The agents getting involved, but there was that interest in him. 740 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,280 Speaker 1: Though Mike Martz will never coach again. Shannahan. It always, 741 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: it always a little weird. It was like, yeah, we're 742 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: gonna interview Shanahan for the forty Niners job because we 743 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: happened to be in Denver that day, and you know, 744 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, Shanahan is a good lunch spread at his 745 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: house every day. You know. It's like it was a 746 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: little it was unclear what he was interviewing for exactly 747 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: no serious they happened to be in Denver, like, oh 748 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: we're there, will swing by like they were in the serious, 749 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: and it was unclear if whether it was for like 750 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: a head coaching job or where they were just kind 751 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: of picking his brain about different people. You pointed that 752 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: out West a week ago. I think that's a lot 753 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: more of the latter. It's you talked to ten fifteen 754 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: people and get any sort of information about your own 755 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: team's problems before you find the park. I got the 756 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: sense that some things were looking at him in a 757 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: general manager type of rule or footballs are, which makes no, 758 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: absolutely no sense, because he's one of the worst general managers. 759 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean every time he's been a coach, last year 760 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: and he's failed. The Shanahan the GM always killed Shanahan 761 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: the coach, and I think he did in Washington. Ultimately, 762 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 1: I think he was the one picking the players. Same. 763 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: Mark your thoughts on the report connecting Marts to the Browns. 764 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: Uh won't happen. Is there any way that happens? I hope. 765 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: I will bet you a sandwich right now. It absolutely 766 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. To have any information on this or something, 767 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: you seem confident, I'm deadly calm. I feel that I'm 768 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: guaranteeing you it will not happen. What do you have 769 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: any kind of info or theories on why they actually 770 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: brought him in? No, I don't, But that's because they 771 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: did very odd things last year when they were looking 772 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: to fill their head coaching role, even while they were 773 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: heat seeking towards Patton at the end. During the Senior 774 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: Bowl week, reports floated up with them talking to other people. 775 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: I do. I can promise you won't be Marts. It's 776 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: it's funny. I was saying this to Greg a week 777 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: ago or so, that the Browns are kind of like 778 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: the screw up brother in law that you're really rooting 779 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: for to get it together and and he keeps messing 780 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: up and you root for him. And then Mark, I 781 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: look at you, You're like, I'm talking it's your brother, 782 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: and you're my wife, but you're really you're kind of 783 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: like my work wife. And you're like, you're like, man, 784 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: is he's such a screw up? Why are the Browns 785 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: such screw ups? They can't I mean, why are they 786 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: getting a new offense? And well and again and again 787 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: they did screw up. And I think that they're a 788 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: team that's not figured out how to operate on a 789 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: week to week basis. When you hear about you know, 790 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: employees texting stuff that was annoying Shanahan. One little thing 791 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: about Shanahan. I mean, this is a guy that you hear. Also, 792 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 1: he's not the easiest person on the planet to wards, 793 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: so you know, it's a little maybe it was just 794 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: a bad soup. And I think that Shanahan wants or 795 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: Pennon wants someone he can trust, but it won't be marked. 796 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: But they're getting filled up here. These offensive coordinator jobs 797 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: like who are you hoping for? Almost always starts at 798 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: the top, Mark, don't you think? Yeah? I do? I 799 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: mean I do absolutely. By the way, another another lesson 800 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: to be learned in life that you could learn through 801 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: following football. Pulling your pants down in the middle of 802 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: your workplace gonna hurt you in the future, Mike secretary. 803 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to recover in any line of trade. What 804 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: about the guy who rushed onto the field in Seattle. 805 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: That guy deserves a raise wherever he works, but he 806 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: probably got fired too. It's kind to the point. All right, 807 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: next category, This one's kind of connected to the previous category. 808 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: This is the comeback coach slash executive of the Year award. 809 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: Guy that was kind of out of the mix and 810 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,479 Speaker 1: now he landed a job and he's back on his feet, 811 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: and who knows what comes next.

Steve Jeff Ireland, 816 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 1: a new consultant for the Nolan Saints. We believe there's 817 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: some conflict here. Okay, reportedly he's not going to be 818 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: the right answer to this question anyway. Uh Chan Gailly, 819 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: who we thought might be connected with the Jets. Maybe 820 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: he's not, but could be. This award is not very 821 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: strong and maybe shouldn't have been in the award show here. 822 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: What about Gary Kobs, No, he was o C last year. 823 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: He's he was on the radar. Now he's someone that 824 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 1: was totally after all. It's connected categories spacks for the Giants. 825 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: His career fell off the rails. He's a hot property. 826 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: Goes to the he got a job with the Rams, 827 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: I believe, and the Rams was where he was the 828 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: head coach, head coach, bombs out there, goes to the Saints, 829 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: bombs out there.

I have to 831 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: agree with you because the other two people don't officially 832 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: like I said. So yeah, I'm sure you could have 833 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: turned around that defense with Spencer pacing or is his 834 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: best player all right now, Spagnola is one of those guys. 835 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: He leads the league and media likes him, but all 836 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: his former co workers don't, which that's always a troublesome 837 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: type of coach. I'm giving this award to Kubiak. I'm 838 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: just writing candidate, Okay, Like he's going from coordinated head coach. 839 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: He's coming back.

How Kubiak and you you guys have 865 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: similar hair, so it's almost like you're projecting. No, we're 866 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: talking about NFL networks. Sorry Kubiak has like an eighties 867 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,359 Speaker 1: haircut and a possible die job going on. It's a 868 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: totally a situation.

That Mark pushed hard for 872 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: that one, and Dan Quinn and we're assuming he's a 873 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: new hire with the Falcons. So a loaded category here. 874 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: The winner in an upset Gary Kubiak is the best 875 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: looking coach. When when you're like sixty years old and 876 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: you look like you're forty, it's pretty good. He doesn't 877 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: have wrinkles. I think one guy we might be overlooking 878 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: his Rex Ryan for the reclamation project that has happened 879 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: over number one.

I said he 886 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: has nice eyes, and I stand by that. I check 887 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: it out during Super Bowl. Made a mistake here, I'd 888 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: probably go Cubs myself. Rio is furious right now. Tell 889 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: Rio is good looking, He's mean, he's changed the last women, 890 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: you guys are This isn't a This is an award 891 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: for the young.

You know, That's 897 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: why I pushed hard for him. To get in the 898 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 1: race here. But Dan is the authority here. I'm like 899 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: I said, I'm just thrown out a winner and then 900 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm open to debate. Alright, it's time.

On New Year's Eve, you 911 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: thought he'd be ringing in the New Year with all 912 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: the leverage in the world and a four million dollar check. Instead, 913 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: he's now the offensive line coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 914 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 1: He has Doug Marron, your two thousand fifteen winner of 915 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: the Lifetime Achievement Award in fail who gave him that advice? 916 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: And how quickly was that man fired? Or a woman? Yeah? 917 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: I take back those uh hot takes on this podcast 918 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: that I had of what a smart move by his 919 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 1: agent that he not only got the four million dollars, 920 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 1: but he's going to deliver him to another team. Because 921 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: the fact is, if Moron knew this was ever gonna happen, 922 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: he would have never left Buffalo. And and he's furious 923 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,720 Speaker 1: right now at how this all happen. Shocking that NFL 924 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: owners would not look kindly on a guy who opted 925 00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 1: out of his contract and basically quit his team. Yeah, 926 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 1: and also everywhere he has been there are leaks that 927 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: he's impossible to work with, that he's a headcase, that 928 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 1: he is the fourth team, and we've talked about on 929 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: the show today. But the interesting thing is immediately after 930 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,280 Speaker 1: the opt out, there was the buzzo he quit his team. 931 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: But you saw a lot of reporting from a lot 932 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,760 Speaker 1: of NFL insiders and a lot of tweets that sweet. 933 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 1: This was a guy that was highly, deeply respected in 934 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: league circles for the work he did in Buffalo the 935 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: last two years. So was that hook line and sink 936 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: something whole something NFL reporting industry, And by the way, 937 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 1: I still think and Charlie Casserley was I was listening. 938 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: He did an interview. Of course, he's been the consultant 939 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: for the Jets during their coach gm search. Uh, he 940 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: was on Mike francessa New York. I was listening, and 941 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: and it does. It still still sounds to me because 942 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 1: he was he pushed hard from Moron to the Jets 943 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: that that was probably what was set up. And then 944 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: Maron didn't handle the interview. Well, something went wrong in 945 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: that interview. Well, they said he didn't, and then he 946 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: was hung out to dry after that. Yeah, I mean 947 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,040 Speaker 1: you have to wonder if when the initial ration of 948 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: reports that he's wanted and there's all this attraction towards Maron, 949 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: that it is a little bit of the insiders getting 950 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: fed something wrong. Sure, that's what Maron thought, because you're 951 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: not gonna walk away from a head coaching job. I mean, 952 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 1: at one point after the Jets interview, he went to 953 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: go interview with Atlanta, and it was positioned in the 954 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 1: media like, oh, he's gonna keep his options open. You know, 955 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: he might play Atlanta off of the Jets in some 956 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: bidding war or something like that. In the end, you know, 957 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: neither one of those teams get a lifetime achieving award 958 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: that has to be a special type of goof and 959 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 1: Gaze could have been a contender. I don't know if 960 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: he really managed it poorly, but everyone thought he was 961 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: gonna either be the next Broncos coach or the next 962 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 1: coach to two great jobs. He didn't know that the 963 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: job he had wouldn't be there for him three weeks ago. 964 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: Ature No, uh, maybe he's maybe he'll be the head 965 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,800 Speaker 1: coach of the Jags next year and everything will be forgotten. 966 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: Who knows, But who Mara owned? Yeah, I don't think so. 967 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's like Mike Malarkey. Mike Marlarky left the 968 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,439 Speaker 1: Bill's job with more dignity. He just said, I don't 969 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: like this ownership, I don't like what's going on the 970 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: front office. I'm just gonna leave. And he didn't have 971 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: any money waiting for him. He actually gave up a 972 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: lot of money to do that. And you know, he 973 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: didn't get another head coaching job for another eight years. 974 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: That turned out to be in Jacksonville. That only lasted 975 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: one year. And that's how it goes. What a year 976 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: it was though, fourteen? All right, here we go. The 977 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 1: next category always the bridemaid bridesmaid, never the bride in 978 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,240 Speaker 1: your nominees, Adam, this is for the guy that always 979 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: gets connected. Sorry, excuse me for a head coach or 980 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 1: you gotta make it clear to the audience connected to 981 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 1: coaching job. So not literally going to weddings and dressing 982 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: as bridesmaids. You need to uh connected to coaching jobs. 983 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 1: Never quite happens, Adam Gaze, Doug Moron, Hugh Jackson, Pep Hamilton's, 984 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: Terrell Austin and Josh McDaniels. Is this a just for 985 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: this year only? Or are we taking passed into account? 986 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: You got a kind of factor in the past for 987 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: this time, but stay mostly rooted in the last month 988 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: or so. When it is Josh McDaniels, West doesn't like it. 989 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,240 Speaker 1: Sounds like we have a bit of a battle brewing 990 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: here ahead. I can't believe anybody took Josh McDaniels seriously 991 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,320 Speaker 1: as a bridesmaid the academy did. I think Hugh Jackson's 992 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: the answer here. I would back Jackson too, because he 993 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: was a hot name coming out of this and he 994 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,880 Speaker 1: never really went far with any search. It was like, 995 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: you know, Pet Hamilton's a little bit too early in 996 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: the process. Same with Torrell, Darrel Austin and McDaniels. One 997 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,760 Speaker 1: thing about McDaniels is he absolutely burnt his own bridge 998 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,720 Speaker 1: in Denver when he when he left, Pat Bowland basically 999 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,919 Speaker 1: said I will never hire a young coach like him 1000 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 1: ever again, and essentially Spike two, I will never touch 1001 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: a young candidate that mature who can he can destroy 1002 00:50:55,239 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: a room that way, right, But he has burn his 1003 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: bridge elsewhere, and I think it's telling that Thomas he's 1004 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: back in the comfortable cradle of New England where every 1005 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: coordinator looks good then goes out and fails. I think 1006 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: Gays is the winner here because it's a red flag 1007 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: to me that not only does he not get the 1008 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: job in Denver where Peyton Manny apparently wants him and 1009 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: he's been in town. But I don't know if John Fox, 1010 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, in theory, could bring him to Chicago. That 1011 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: might be maybe, and maybe he will. But if he 1012 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: doesn't bring him to Chicago, Okay, there's another guy that 1013 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: just had you and went to the super Bowl with you, 1014 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,880 Speaker 1: had a ton of success with you, and yet he 1015 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,479 Speaker 1: doesn't want to bring you with him. So we'll see. 1016 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 1: Maybe Gays will end up in Chicago. I don't know 1017 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 1: new information here. Hugh Jackson was left at the altar. 1018 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: His agent came on a radio show in Cincinnati, I 1019 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 1: Believe with Lance McAllister and said Hugh Jackson was stunned 1020 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 1: he did not get the bill's job. Going into the 1021 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 1: night before they hired Rex Ryan, Hugh thought he had him. 1022 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: That just strikes me as Hugh Jackson's probably like the 1023 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 1: most confident guy in the world. Every time he throws 1024 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 1: a bowling pennies like stunned that all ten pins don't 1025 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 1: go down. What happened here? Alright? Fair enough? Fair enough? Alright? 1026 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 1: Next category the best the Coach or the best chance 1027 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:18,719 Speaker 1: um for a deep well of unintentional comedy.

And your winner is Jim tom Sula. 1030 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: I like that you're not even ripping the envelop anymore, 1031 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:38,880 Speaker 1: You're just crumbling it up in your show. I feel 1032 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 1: bad for him almost. I just it's not gonna it's 1033 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: gonna be brutal. He's gonna be so mad when he 1034 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,440 Speaker 1: listens to the show. Because this is why. That's Henry's boy. 1035 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 1: That's Henry's boy. We would be lampooning Jim tom Sula 1036 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: even more if we didn't respect Henry so much. Yeah, 1037 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,359 Speaker 1: that's true. Maybe he'll turn out to be a great coach. 1038 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: But by the way, you can you could be a 1039 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: king of unintentional comedy still be successful. Also a right, 1040 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:06,919 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that, Homer Simpson. I'm just saying 1041 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: he could be a guy. He could be like a 1042 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 1: lovable like kind of Rex Ryan I. They could win 1043 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: and they'd be like, what this guy's quotes they don't 1044 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 1: make sense. Is gifted with the power of communication. Alright, 1045 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: Rex is intentional, Right, somehow avoided all these awards. You're 1046 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 1: saying that this is a good communication. What if I 1047 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 1: throw a name of Mars. It's like an alien life form. 1048 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 1: He is like the son of Yogi Bearra or Yoda Nice. 1049 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: I like when you work baseball. Listen, I know like 1050 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: four people in baseball. That's one of the four.

When they do that, it's always a 1058 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:18,760 Speaker 1: hard decision.
