Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday.
Speaker 2: It's a meat Friday at that controversial meet Friday. At
Speaker 2: that just found out from our chef Tyler, the Minister
Speaker 2: of Culture. I said, uh, you've been kind of quiet.
Speaker 2: It's meat Friday. I went out checked the triggers, nothing
Speaker 2: on it. He said, we're having flat top griddle, stir
Speaker 2: fry and egg rolls. Who has it better than we do? Well?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think some people may have it
Speaker 2: better than us today. Are you bothered by this stf Yeah,
Speaker 2: stir frys.
Speaker 3: I thought he had to clear things with you. I
Speaker 3: really did.
Speaker 2: No, I give him some freedom. That's wrong with stir fry.
Speaker 2: And that's not meat Friday. That's what it's called. That's
Speaker 2: pretty good to me. I mean it's got chicken in it,
Speaker 2: which is that's that's not meat to me? It's chicken?
Speaker 2: Is it like red meat or everything else? It's meat Friday.
Speaker 2: So that's what we have.
Speaker 4: A you're saying, minister mailed it in on that Friday.
Speaker 3: What's what are we saying?
Speaker 2: What do you say? I'm saying that I'm up for it.
Speaker 4: I'm willing to see what it's all about.
Speaker 2: Well, you love you love Chinese food.
Speaker 5: I do so.
Speaker 2: Let's but I.
Speaker 4: Really like hot dogs and hamburgers and sausages.
Speaker 2: No, but you really like Chinese food and you get
Speaker 2: egg rolls there as well. This is right up your alley.
Speaker 2: I'm very happy with you. You should recuse yourself from
Speaker 2: this discussion there. Okay, Well, somehow try to rise above it.
Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go, come on, let's go. We know.

Speaker 2: and one straight up and ten and three against the spread.

Speaker 2: So uh? Operator Tyler standing by, you'll take your phone
Speaker 2: calls eight seven seven three DP show Good morning. If
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock, thank you downloading the app on
Speaker 2: our radio affiliates, iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio, normally this time
Speaker 2: of the year and maybe all year long, we focus
Speaker 2: on quarterbacks, and rightfully so, you know there are great
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who are still alive. Here. We're still trying to
Speaker 2: figure out Brock Purty, Jared Goff. We know Maholmes as
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. Lamar Jackson's going to be a
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer as well. But really, this game or
Speaker 2: these games, could come down to the tight ends. When
Speaker 2: you think about Travis Kelcey's going to the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely with the Ravens, that's the
Speaker 2: most dangerous tight end duo in the NFL. George Kittle
Speaker 2: yards after Catch Monster, and then you got Detroit. Sam
Speaker 2: Laporta made All Pro as a rookie. It feels like
Speaker 2: defenses are built for speed now and this is where
Speaker 2: tight ends are taking advantage of this with being able
Speaker 2: to run but also having power. And they've made a
Speaker 2: big impact here and we'll probably make a big impact
Speaker 2: coming up over the weekend. See what's the poll question
Speaker 2: we're going to play with today? You think the poll
Speaker 2: question is today, Dan.
Speaker 3: Guess that poll.
Speaker 2: Guess that poll a new game, So that's the question,
Speaker 2: Or is it the question to get to the question
Speaker 2: the game is to you get to the question. Oh, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: next year Bill Belichick will be dot dot coaching. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: there are only two more coaching vacancies right now, Option
Speaker 2: two coaching in the NFL. Okay, the Panthers have hired
Speaker 2: the Bucks offensive coordinator Dave Canalis, and the Falcons hired
Speaker 2: Raheem Morris. So Canalis, I think he was only interviewed
Speaker 2: by the Panthers and he was the offensive coordinator I
Speaker 2: think for a year with Tampa. Now he's had other jobs.
Speaker 2: But you know, Tampa they played well with Baker Mayfield
Speaker 2: Junior the third You know, it always helps when you
Speaker 2: have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Just saying the Falcons
Speaker 2: brought back Raheem Morris, who doesn't hit have a history
Speaker 2: with the team, and that leads us to the Washington
Speaker 2: Commanders and the Seattle Seahawks. Anybody anybody Washington maybe waiting
Speaker 2: for offensive coordinator still alive in the playoffs. What about Seattle,
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn not the playoffs, Mike Brabel not the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Anybody else out there might be a surprise pick. We
Speaker 2: could have an off season where Bill Belichick and Pete
Speaker 2: Carroll are not getting ready to coach an NFL season,
Speaker 2: and maybe Mike Rabel who would have thought that. But
Speaker 2: you know, let me start with the Panthers because we
Speaker 2: know David Tepper. He is a control freak, you know,
Speaker 2: the owner of the Carolina Panthers. And so he brings
Speaker 2: in Dave Canalis. Okay, this is somebody that you can
Speaker 2: sort of let him know, Hey, I'm the owner here.
Speaker 2: You're the coach in parentheses or quotations, but I'm the owner.
Speaker 2: And if you bring in a bigger personality, are you
Speaker 2: still going to you know, he may not know that
Speaker 2: he's still the problem, but you're going to bring in
Speaker 2: and maybe Dave Canalis is a going to be great
Speaker 2: offensive minded obviously coordinator there, and you're gonna help Bryce
Speaker 2: Young and maybe brings in some weapons, all of those things.
Speaker 2: But that hire is still it feels like you're repeating
Speaker 2: your mistakes again. There are a lot of good coaches
Speaker 2: out there, and I don't know if they offer the
Speaker 2: job to anybody else. Belichick didn't even interview there. Belichick
Speaker 2: just interviewed in Atlanta. And I mentioned something on Monday
Speaker 2: and Peter King had this in his column and Pete said,
Speaker 2: the Falcons are opening up their job search. And this
Speaker 2: is after Bill interviewed twice. I'm thinking, what else is
Speaker 2: there that you need to know about Bill Belichick and
Speaker 2: then turning the team over to him. Everybody talked about
Speaker 2: Arthur Blank, the owner, his age, Oh he wants to
Speaker 2: win Bill, bring him in. Now you'll get over the hump.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it was like Atlanta's
Speaker 2: interviewing quite a few people, I think fourteen candidates, and
Speaker 2: now you're starting to hear, Okay, what did Bill Belichick want?
Speaker 2: What was he asking slash demanding? And did that turn
Speaker 2: off Arthur Black? And maybe he said, look, I don't
Speaker 2: want to turn over the front office to you. I
Speaker 2: don't want you to have total control here. We saw
Speaker 2: there were some problems in New England with what you
Speaker 2: did in the front office. As a coach, you're peerless,
Speaker 2: but I mean that's pretty amazing. Greatest coach of all
Speaker 2: time still wants to coach and probably not going to
Speaker 2: get a head coaching job. Pete Carroll still wants to
Speaker 2: coach as the energy of a fifty year old, probably
Speaker 2: not going to coach. Mike Grabel wonderful coach, well respected.
Speaker 2: Remember there was going to be a line out the
Speaker 2: door for Mike Grabel. Well, it's tricky with these owners
Speaker 2: because they want to be in control. You saw the
Speaker 2: Patriots with the Craft family. They started to take some
Speaker 2: of the power over the last decade from Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2: It's hard to relinquish control. But the great franchises do.
Speaker 2: We've seen that. The Steelers they don't get involved. Giants
Speaker 2: don't get involved. For the most part. They let their
Speaker 2: coaches coach. The front office people do what they're supposed
Speaker 2: to do. I don't know if Carolina is going to
Speaker 2: be back in this position in two years from now.
Speaker 2: The Falcons with Raheem Morris, who got a lot of
Speaker 2: people speaking on his behalf. Now he's a defensive coordinator
Speaker 2: with the Rams, and you know he was a coach
Speaker 2: but a decade ago with Tampa Bay. I loved him
Speaker 2: back then. I loved his energy. And he gets another
Speaker 2: go round, so good for him. But yeah, the coaching
Speaker 2: hires and now where will Bill Belichick be in a
Speaker 2: year from now or is he going to coach this year?
Speaker 2: But he do TV. See Pete Carroll would be good
Speaker 2: on TV. I think if we slow down his delivery
Speaker 2: and we take the gum out of his mouth, and
Speaker 2: then we speed up Bill Belichick's delivery. You know, maybe
Speaker 2: I'd just hire Mike Rabel there. Rabel would give me
Speaker 2: a combination there. But I'm wondering this Washington. It feels
Speaker 2: like Washington is going to take the Lions. Offensive coordinator
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson feels like that's almost a foregune conclusion. Then
Speaker 2: you got Seattle, which is a little trickier because you
Speaker 2: had ownership come in and say they wanted to move
Speaker 2: on in a different direction from Pete Carroll ownership. So
Speaker 2: ownership looking for something different than Pete Carroll. Okay, is
Speaker 2: that Mike Rabel, is that Dan Quinn? Is that somebody else?
Speaker 2: Because the game of coaching musical chairs is now down
Speaker 2: to two chairs, and you got a lot of people
Speaker 2: still walking around those chairs. Somebody wants to sit down. Yeah, pum.
Speaker 7: Do you think some of these NFL owners are hesitant
Speaker 7: on Belichick because of his age, his demeanor, his demands,
Speaker 7: or is the combo of all three?
Speaker 2: Probably probably all of that. I mean, he's got the resume,
Speaker 2: but then what comes along with the resume, is he
Speaker 2: going to take over the front office. Then you have
Speaker 2: to fire people in the front office. Who is he
Speaker 2: going to bring in? I mean, it's it's not I
Speaker 2: don't think Dave Canal is coming over from the Buccaneers
Speaker 2: as their offensive coordinator is going to come in and say, I,
Speaker 2: you know, I want my people here or we're gonna
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to work for that. GM
Speaker 2: Belichick comes in just like Carball Harpball went into the
Speaker 2: charger's job. He needed everything to be as he wanted it,
Speaker 2: and that is he's going to dictate the front office here.
Speaker 2: And Belichick probably came in and you know, that's a
Speaker 2: big footprint, big footprint, and you know, maybe Arthur Blank
Speaker 2: it seemed obvious, like, of course, now what if Bill
Speaker 2: Belichick a year from now, we're talking about him taking
Speaker 2: over the Cowboys or the Buffalo Bills, or throw out
Speaker 2: some other Kansas city. If Andy Reid steps down, how
Speaker 2: about the Eagles, Nick Siriani, Those would be better jobs
Speaker 2: than the jobs that are open or we're open here
Speaker 2: right now. All right, So that's the poll question, Seaton,
Speaker 2: that's one of them. Dan, Yeah, we've got next year,
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick will be coaching coaching in the NFL, in
Speaker 2: TV or on the beach? Are your options on the beach? Yeah,
Speaker 2: we could say on the boat, but whatever, same thing, Okay,
Speaker 2: also have next year, Joe Flacco will be coaching, playing
Speaker 2: in the NFL, in TV or on the beach. I
Speaker 2: think he'll be suited up in the NFL. I don't
Speaker 2: know if he'll be playing in the NFL, but he'll
Speaker 2: be suited up. But we have plenty of time to
Speaker 2: talk about Joe Flacco and his future. Really a unique situation,
Speaker 2: and at age thirty nine, he was really really good
Speaker 2: and it's not like they go, We're going to open
Speaker 2: up the quarterback competition in Cleveland, because that's not happening.
Speaker 2: And you almost want to put him in a position
Speaker 2: where the starter, the younger quarterback, is not threatened by
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, but you want to have that insurance policy
Speaker 2: like Jacksonville would be great with Trevor Lawrence. Hey, he's
Speaker 2: not taking your job, but he's there to help you.
Speaker 2: Or like the Chargers, he's not there to take your job.
Speaker 2: If you get banged up, he'll come in and play
Speaker 2: a couple of games for Justin Herbert. That's probably believe
Speaker 2: the situation that you know, Joe will hopefully be entertaining.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break here, got phone calls
Speaker 2: coming up. Ross Tucker will stop by, and Mike Florio
Speaker 2: as well, and of course Joe Flacco will take a break.
Speaker 2: Just getting started. Everybody's here, including the great Ton Fritz.
Speaker 2: We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6: Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.
Speaker 6: Would mean a lot to have you join us on
Speaker 6: our weekly auditory journey. You're asking, what in God's name
Speaker 6: is the Fifth Hour. I'll tell you it's a spin
Speaker 6: off of it Ben Maler Show, a cult hit overnights
Speaker 6: on FSR.
Speaker 2: Why should you listen?
Speaker 6: Picture if you will a world will. We chat with
Speaker 6: captains of industry in media, sports, and more every week
Speaker 6: explore some amazing facts about human nature and more. Listen
Speaker 6: to The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 6: Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 2: Not that I expect Kyle Shanahan to reveal the truth.
Speaker 2: Maybe we're dealing with semantics. He says about Deebo Samuel's shoulder.
Speaker 2: It wasn't broken, so that's a real good sign. Yes
Speaker 2: it is, but it's still hurting too much for us
Speaker 2: to really have an idea of how he will heal
Speaker 2: up this week. So we've got to be patient, see
Speaker 2: how he feels, and based on if it's improving, it
Speaker 2: will give us a better idea whether he has a
Speaker 2: chance for the game or not. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it is. Do you have a crack in it, a
Speaker 2: fracture in it? Is it a bruise, a bone bruise.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that it could be, but
Speaker 2: at first it was he's you may have a fracture
Speaker 2: and his shoulder is broken.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom, And now the lines are going to be
Speaker 4: so confused and unprepared by that they don't know how
Speaker 4: to prepare for the NFC title game.
Speaker 7: Now, thank you John, Yes, Bony, because in week six
Speaker 7: I went back, look, Deebo did have a They called
Speaker 7: it a slight fracture. Do you notice how the NFL
Speaker 7: is really big on semantics with injuries, Like if they say, well,
Speaker 7: he has a very slight fraction fracturing spemur, but he said, Oh,
Speaker 7: so he's got a broken leg. No, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 7: he does have a broken leg.
Speaker 3: He has a slight fracture. It's Freemer.
Speaker 2: Well, we could do it like the NHL does upper body,
Speaker 2: lower body injury. That's it. That's all they tell you.
Speaker 2: There's no mid body injury. Now that can be would
Speaker 2: that be growing that that could be a groin to you?
Speaker 2: By the way, the forty nine ers are looking to
Speaker 2: end an incredible NFL curse when they face the lines. Okay,
Speaker 2: you ready for this. So the Niners trying to get
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, and the person that they have
Speaker 2: to worry about is Kirk cousinsk. Stay with me here.
Speaker 2: It's the curse of Kirk Cousins. Since Kirk Cousins came
Speaker 2: into the NFL in twenty twelve, no team has ever
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl the same year they lost to
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. If Kirk Cousins started a game at any
Speaker 2: point in his career and you lost to him, that
Speaker 2: meant you were not going to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: So I guess you got to look at this. With
Speaker 2: the teams that Kirk Cousins beat this year, would you
Speaker 2: guys look at the rundown there of who Kirk Cousins
Speaker 2: beat this year of the final four teams that are
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, because that is the Kirk Cousins curse.
Speaker 7: Yes, I have Kirk Cousins this year. He was injured,
Speaker 7: but he did beat San Francisco. He lost to Kansas City,
Speaker 7: and that's it against playoff teams.
Speaker 2: He didn't play against the Lions.
Speaker 3: I'm double checking here. I don't have him playing against
Speaker 3: the Lions.
Speaker 2: Okay, they avoided the curse. Okay, well it's the Kirk
Speaker 2: Cousins curse.
Speaker 7: How does an analytics person just stumble upon that or
Speaker 7: is that have no idea?
Speaker 3: That's a lot of free time.
Speaker 2: Well that's sometimes when analytics is fun. You know that,
Speaker 2: we enjoy analytics. Analytics is just a bad word because
Speaker 2: it just feels like these are number crunchers and they're
Speaker 2: not really factoring in who's doing what at what point
Speaker 2: in the game, factoring in and I know they do,
Speaker 2: but factoring in sort of the intangibles, the ancillary stuff there,
Speaker 2: the gut feeling that you might have. And I see
Speaker 2: baseball as overrun with analytics, certainly with I'm going to
Speaker 2: strike you out or you're going to hit a home
Speaker 2: run NBA. I'm gonna shoot the three and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: continue to shoot the three managers in baseball, you had
Speaker 2: twelve twelve pitches. I got to take you out. Wait,
Speaker 2: I can throw one more, or two more or five more. No, Nope,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you out. Put somebody in. Hey, don't
Speaker 2: like that matchup? The analytics say we're going to bring
Speaker 2: in somebody else home run? Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7: I saw a thing earlier this week on PTI, Michael
Speaker 7: Wilbaum was quite upset about analytics. He was just laying
Speaker 7: into it, and Tony Reality, his former coworker, said, said
Speaker 7: to Michael will If, I just replaced the word analytics
Speaker 7: with information and took away that the word because I
Speaker 7: think the in Reality was saying that the inference is
Speaker 7: that there's some kid with you know, a skinny kid
Speaker 7: with a pocket protector and glasses in front of a
Speaker 7: computer who never played football, trumping the knowledge of football experts.
Speaker 3: And that's that's why people are bothered.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the word, the analytics. Okay, do you see
Speaker 2: some guy, you know, he's cloistered in some you know
Speaker 2: building down in the basement, crunching numbers there. Uh, excuse me, coach,
Speaker 2: I have the information that you wanted, and I think
Speaker 2: people get turned off with that, Like we want a
Speaker 2: gut feeling like you're going forward. It's momentum. I can't
Speaker 2: imagine Dan Campbell would be attached to analytics. He's Dan Campbell,
Speaker 2: but of course he's attached to it. They all are like,
Speaker 2: you'd be crazy not to at least acknowledge what it is.
Speaker 2: Give me the information, all decide if I want to
Speaker 2: use that information. It's like when we have a and
Speaker 2: the Dan nets will say, hey, I thought of this
Speaker 2: for Joe Flacco or hey what about this. They can
Speaker 2: give me ten things that they're thinking of, ten questions
Speaker 2: that they thought of. I have to make it work
Speaker 2: once it happens, and that's what coaches do. Hey, I
Speaker 2: got all this information, but when the game is on
Speaker 2: the line, I got to make a call. Here. Is
Speaker 2: it based on my gut? Is it based on maybe
Speaker 2: some research there? But I know Will Bond has a
Speaker 2: problem with this. Yampong so espianation.
Speaker 7: They did a research of all the NFL coaches and
Speaker 7: decisions they made in the twenty twenty three season and
Speaker 7: twenty twenty two, Dan Campbell was the most analytically impressive coach.
Speaker 7: They said he was most often following analytics. This is
Speaker 7: an outside opinion of his decisions he made. They don't
Speaker 7: know whether the Lions and Campbell are using analytics to
Speaker 7: make decisions. They said, all theirs go not in the face,
Speaker 7: but flow with analytics.
Speaker 2: I watched too many Yankee games when Aaron Boone would
Speaker 2: make a pitching change and it would come back and
Speaker 2: on him constantly, and I'm sure it was based on analytics.
Speaker 2: That to me like going by the book, like Buck Showalter.
Speaker 2: There's certain guys where you go, oh boy, here we go,
Speaker 2: Tony Larusa, buy the book. Yeah, it was it Aaron
Speaker 2: Boone or was it like Joe Girardi or somebody who
Speaker 2: literally had a binder, Yeah, with him, a massive binder
Speaker 2: that he would like open up and be like, what
Speaker 2: am I supposed to do this the seventh inning? Man
Speaker 2: on second? You know, temperatures sixty eight degrees? Okay, run, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: gonna make this decision. All right, We'll get to some
Speaker 2: phone calls. We settle on our poll question here, and
Speaker 2: are the owners making a mistake passing on Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2: I think it's case by case and and if I'm
Speaker 2: an owner, don't think long term, because coaches get fired
Speaker 2: after a Super Bowl, a year after winning a Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: going to a Super Bowl, think of Bill Belichick. Let's
Speaker 2: say it's a two year window or three year window,
Speaker 2: not five where you go, oh, do I want somebody
Speaker 2: who's seventy seven coaching my team? You want to make
Speaker 2: sure that you win, and it's about winning now. How
Speaker 2: many chances do you get to win now? Buffalo, Philadelphia, Dallas,
Speaker 2: San Francisco. It's about winning now and if you can
Speaker 2: make a change that helps you and helps you now
Speaker 2: and hopefully in the long run or two or three
Speaker 2: years down the road. Like Harball is going to help
Speaker 2: the Chargers, Is he going to help them so they're
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl contender? I don't think that happens. I think,
Speaker 2: in fairness to Jim, let's look at two years and
Speaker 2: see what he does with that roster, salary cap issues.
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, who do you keep Austin Eckler? Are you
Speaker 2: going to take a tight end in the first round
Speaker 2: with your fifth pick? And then I think you can
Speaker 2: assess that and go Okay, they signed him to a
Speaker 2: five year deal. Justin Herbert has a five year deal
Speaker 2: with his quarterback contract. But I would look at if
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hire Belichick, and I'm Atlanta, I'm looking at
Speaker 2: the next two years. But I think you're probably looking
Speaker 2: at you know, the totality is, well, he's not gonna
Speaker 2: take a two year job. No he's not. But I
Speaker 2: would say, let's make it a four year deal and
Speaker 2: come on in. But you got to turn everything over
Speaker 2: to him. And that's the hard part. And that's where
Speaker 2: I thought, David Tepper, you know, these owners like to
Speaker 2: buy things. I can buy anything. You know what I'm good.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I'm gonna do today, Hun,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go buy the best coach in football history. Well,
Speaker 2: i'll see you later, David, have a nice day. Tell
Speaker 2: everybody else at the Panthers. I said, look, that's what
Speaker 2: that's what billionaire owners do. Steve Cohen with the Mets,
Speaker 2: I want that guy, and I want that guy, and
Speaker 2: I want that guy. It's like window shopping. What doesn't
Speaker 2: always work that way. It's not always the smartest business decision.
Speaker 2: But if you want Carolina to be respected, Bill Belichick
Speaker 2: would get you respected. I just don't think that owner
Speaker 2: wanted to turn the team over to Bill Belichick. Yeah, poem.
Speaker 7: So I'm reading a few different stories here about Belichick
Speaker 7: interviewing with the Atlanta Falcons twice, and a lot of
Speaker 7: the stories kind of hint at Peter Schrager said it
Speaker 7: this morning Good Morning Football that he was told that
Speaker 7: Arthur Blank wanted Bill Belichick and that other people around
Speaker 7: him may have persuaded him and go to another direction.
Speaker 7: So I think about how awkward this could have been
Speaker 7: Bill Belichick's interviewing. I was soon with Arthur Blank and
Speaker 7: the current general manager and gentleman named Terry font Though,
Speaker 7: who's been there since twenty twenty one. If I'm Terry Fontto,
Speaker 7: I don't think I want Bill Belichick hired because doesn't
Speaker 7: he then take my job or at least co opt
Speaker 7: my job. So if I go upstairs and talk to
Speaker 7: the owner Arth Blank, say now let's go with Raheem Morris,
Speaker 7: who's a coach, and I keep my job. You know,
Speaker 7: like I could see a guy like the GM of
Speaker 7: the Falcons saying no, I don't want Belichick because.
Speaker 2: Well, of course the owner. I mean, if you're Terry Fondo,
Speaker 2: you're going to say, hey, I don't want to bring
Speaker 2: in Bill exactly. But if I'm the owner, I have
Speaker 2: to see through that. I don't go, well, why don't
Speaker 2: you want him?
Speaker 7: Not like a ruiser surprise, but like it's almost like
Speaker 7: the deck is stacked against that.
Speaker 2: But if I'm the owner, I already know those people
Speaker 2: are going to say that, and I have to look
Speaker 2: past that to say, Okay, what if you guys kept
Speaker 2: your jobs, would you want Bill Belichick? Then you're going
Speaker 2: to get a real answer there. But yeah, I understand
Speaker 2: the front office people. They don't want to get blown out.
Speaker 2: Of course they're going to say, no, we don't want
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. Does Washington want him? Like Washington to me
Speaker 2: is a great job. It just feels like the bars
Speaker 2: low and it just feels like, all right, we get
Speaker 2: the second pick in the draft and we can start
Speaker 2: all over. New ownership. There will be in a new
Speaker 2: stadium soon, and that to me, that's that's the revitalization,
Speaker 2: you know, And that's a great football town. It's a
Speaker 2: shame that it hasn't been a great football town at
Speaker 2: least performance wise. But having been there when Thaisman was
Speaker 2: playing and Riggins was playing, and Joe Gibbs was coaching,
Speaker 2: and that atmosphere. Now, everybody loves a winner, but those
Speaker 2: are those were great fans, knowledgeable fans, great fans. But
Speaker 2: I you know, they're probably going to go with a
Speaker 2: young offensive coordinator there, and then Seattle Bill's not you know,
Speaker 2: Seattle's not entertaining that either. I had a couple of
Speaker 2: phone calls in here Buddha in San Francisco, Good morning, Buddha.
Speaker 2: What do you have for me?
Speaker 8: No body happy to meet Friday boys?
Speaker 2: Fritzy.
Speaker 8: The analytics say you're a six and a half, but
Speaker 8: with their humor and charm you end up at a seven.
Speaker 8: Just remember half in half, brother, I will do that.
Speaker 1: Ep.
Speaker 2: How many times that we marveled.
Speaker 8: At the Chargery that's in soon in La the past
Speaker 8: few seasons, I mean not only losing countless close ones,
Speaker 8: but the way in which they lost those games. I mean,
Speaker 8: I love everything about Jim Harball going to the Chargers,
Speaker 8: But Dan, my question is, are you ever going to
Speaker 8: go back to the well and pick the charges again.
Speaker 2: After all the ape? Nope, Nope, it's not cool anymore.
Speaker 2: People might be on the Jim Harbaugh bandwagon, and now
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, I'm taking the Chargers.
Speaker 5: Nope.
Speaker 2: I went down that road too many times. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna do it anymore.
Speaker 3: You like the band when they're up and coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, then they get popular and then I don't
Speaker 2: want anything like Oklahoma City Thunder. That's my team this
Speaker 2: year and Cleveland was my team last year. Well, once
Speaker 2: you get on the bandwagon, then I gotta find another
Speaker 2: bandwagon to get on. Kelly and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: Hi, Kelly, Hey Dan, Nice to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Dan.
Speaker 5: I was you know, I can't get over the fact
Speaker 5: of the last few weeks. Everybody seems to not see
Speaker 5: the point that I seem to see, and that is
Speaker 5: I don't believe these NFL teams want the old guard anymore.
Speaker 5: They've seen what works in the NFL what not just
Speaker 5: this year. But what has been working is the younger
Speaker 5: coaches identifying with these you know, just tremendous younger players.
Speaker 5: Perfect example, I live in Pittsburgh. I wouldn't think of,
Speaker 5: you know, rooting for anybody else, if you want to
Speaker 5: look at it that way. But that being said, we
Speaker 5: like Mike Tomlin. He's done a fantastic job here. But
Speaker 5: you made a good point. You emphasized that Pittsburgh and
Speaker 5: the New York Giants, for instance, don't meddle in the coaches' operations.
Speaker 5: And you see what the results of that are. The
Speaker 5: Giants stink, and Pittsburgh, the fans in Pittsburgh, no one
Speaker 5: really wanted. When they were saying they all want Mike
Speaker 5: Tomlin fired, that's not really true. But we wouldn't have
Speaker 5: cared one bit if you would have bought somebody fresh
Speaker 5: in and tried to start to build this team over.
Speaker 5: And when Bill Belichick, they just don't want it anymore.
Speaker 5: They can't. They can't bring someone in. When you talked
Speaker 5: about owners not wanting to give up control, who would
Speaker 5: give up control to Bill Belichick. Here's the thing. You
Speaker 5: can feel one way, Dan, You're a very knowledgeable person
Speaker 5: as far as I'm concerned, the most knowledgeable on the radio.
Speaker 5: That being said, though Bill Belichick didn't make the Patriots,
Speaker 5: Tom Brady made the Patriots. Look what Bill Belichick is
Speaker 5: with Cleveland stunk with the Patriots. After Brady stinks, he
Speaker 5: doesn't make the team, the team made him.
Speaker 2: Well, he helped build that team. It's a combination here.
Speaker 2: I mean, he did draft Brady, stayed with him, inserted
Speaker 2: him in the lineup Bledsoe got hurt, and then he
Speaker 2: kept Brady in there. I mean he has made some
Speaker 2: pretty good decisions there. Build the defense. The defense he
Speaker 2: had with the was elite. I'm not here to knock
Speaker 2: Belichick his resume. I mean he's maybe the greatest coach,
Speaker 2: you know, NFL coach of all time. There are other
Speaker 2: coaches who've had other jobs and they weren't successful. Jimmy
Speaker 2: Johnson hasn't been wasn't successful everywhere he went, still a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coach. Steve Spurry or unbelievable in college
Speaker 2: everywhere he went, Duke South Carolina, Florida, goes to Washington.
Speaker 2: Not good, it happens. But Bill Belichick to have sustainable greatness. Yes,
Speaker 2: having Tom Brady, Absolutely, that's a big advantage there. Yes.
Speaker 2: Didn't the Patriots just win the Super Bowl like four
Speaker 2: or five years ago, twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen with Tom Brady?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what, this final score of that
Speaker 2: game was thirteen to three, pure Tom Brady all Tom
Speaker 2: thirteen to three. What in a defensive effort by Tom
Speaker 2: Brady and massive offensive out that Tom probably designed the defense.
Speaker 2: Tom kept the ball away from the Rams. Yep, people
Speaker 2: have lost their damn mind. No, but this is where
Speaker 2: it's open season on Bill Belichick. That's what this is.
Speaker 2: Good grief, It's open season. Would I turn my team
Speaker 2: over to him? If I'm Atlanta, Well, I guess I
Speaker 2: gotta go. What's the down side that we don't win again?
Speaker 2: That we go eight to nine again? If I said, hey,
Speaker 2: you can have won super Bowl in five years, you'll
Speaker 2: take that. Are you closer to a super Bowl? With
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick or Raheem Morris? I would say with Bill? Now,
Speaker 2: if Raheem is going to be there for a while, great,
Speaker 2: And you know I got a lot of people who
Speaker 2: were speaking on his behalf and getting this job with
Speaker 2: a Falcons. But it's not about him. It's about hiring
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. Would I hire him if I knew he
Speaker 2: had a game plan? Because that's another thing. I don't
Speaker 2: want Bill to come in and go, You're not going
Speaker 2: to interview me. I'm going to interview you. I would go, Bill,
Speaker 2: tell me what you see with this Falcons team? Where
Speaker 2: are we this year? What changes would you make? What
Speaker 2: are we going to do at quarterback? If I don't
Speaker 2: get the answers. I want. I don't care that it's
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. I need Bill Belichick to make me smarter,
Speaker 2: my team better. And if I don't hear that, I'm
Speaker 2: not bringing you in just because it's like, yeah, come
Speaker 2: on in, Bill, huh. And I do love that they
Speaker 2: give these younger coordinators an opportunity, But I think that
Speaker 2: the fact that Belichick, Vrabel and Pete Carroll might be
Speaker 2: on the outside looking in. We never would have thought
Speaker 2: that when they all got fired, they were all getting
Speaker 2: multiple jobs, and then as it turns out, nobody's getting
Speaker 2: a job. It looks like, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7: Marvin and I are thinking maybe like a road trip
Speaker 7: buddy movie for those three. Belichick get that, what is
Speaker 7: that eighty for Brady with all the older actresses. You
Speaker 7: could workshop a scripts Belichick driving the cross country.
Speaker 2: At Ed Saban or the Bella cast.
Speaker 3: Yeah you get.
Speaker 7: You get Pete Carroll his surfboard on the top of
Speaker 7: the car like that. Rabel's in there in case there's
Speaker 7: a bar fight, he comes in, cleans house, rates itself.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get in an accident, but Nick Saban has
Speaker 2: a black and then he can call you know, somebody there.
Speaker 7: Halfway through the cross country tour. There's a high school
Speaker 7: football team. Their coach gets ousted. They car breaks down.
Speaker 7: Next thing you know, their coach.
Speaker 2: No, no, coach gets sick. Okay, then they come in and
Speaker 2: then they saved the day, win the title, yes, or
Speaker 2: they lose. But all the coaches they learns. They learn
Speaker 2: life's lessons like Rocky one. Yes, yeah, Rocky lost in one,
Speaker 2: but he came back.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a movie.
Speaker 2: How about we came came back? How about we come
