  Speaker 1: US of course includes the producer of the program, Cameron D. Parker,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that he on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, but
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: not much mention of Dallas these days, at least not
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with respect to the team for whom his middle name
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: was bestowed. The Dallas Cowboys who are getting ready for
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a trip to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And you think the Panthers fan should be excited about this?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They are favored. Yeah, they are favored.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And it looks like the rest of the world is
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: just figuring that out because I've gotten like three notifications
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: about it, about them being favored and all that. It
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: tells you how much the media is paying attention to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys and the Panthers as of now. It's Thursday.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Oh by the way, Yeah, the Panthers are favored in football. Yes,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that's how far Jerry Jones in the Dallas Cowboys franchise
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: has fun. I wonder I hope someone from the media
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: last Jerry, you know, hey, what do you think about
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: being the underdog to the Carolina freaking Panthers. I bet you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Jerry couldn't name two players in the Panthers.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Well it is Carolina.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Jake lom and.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Moushi Mohammad, Yeah, Ray Caruth Oh wait he killed somebody.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, speaking of football, so and speaking of Jerry Jones.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: One less candidate for Jerry to uh to consider if
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: if speak if cam, if he decides not to stick
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy, because you know what people think you Byke, Yeah,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I mean Dak Chriscott says he ought to stick with
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: him like some of the Cowboys say, you ought to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: stick with him?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Did just like Dak And because Dax endorsed it. Michael
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Parsons adorsed it, Trake when the Dorset or do they
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: have money on the Cowboys?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I am alsodorse it. I don't know about that, Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: but there were several who did. But if Jerry decides
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to make a change, one less candidate is Bill Belichick.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: He is officially the head football coach at the University
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of North Carolina. And we do have his opening statement
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to Craig that we can play on this show. Oh,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna have to play that, Okay, all right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: His first words were not we we're on to uh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we're on the Fordham No, you know who it would be.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We're on the TCU. Went with TCU next year. Oh man,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we're on the TCU.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Uh no. Uh. Do you think Bill Bochik could name
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: every single team in the a SEC right now? No?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Can you?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I think so? Okay, but wait till you find out?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Was like, why are we going to SMU in December? Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: they're in the ACC now they're in the Atlantic Coast Conference,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: so they're methis. Yeah. You know this whole college football.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Realign where we played him at the Cowboys stadium. No, no, coach,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It'll be at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. There. So Bill
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Belichick five year deal approved this morning by an emergency
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Board of Trustees meeting. So he's had his news conference,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so we have to hear his opening statement.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: There Bill Belichick brushing his shoulders with donors and boosters
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and board members. Yeah, oh man, I mean he only
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: had one guy to worry about New England, and he
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: pissed him off and he won how many rings? Five, six, six, six?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Him and his slum we're trying to push him out.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, that's an NFL record six super
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Bowls for the Patriots. He won two more under one coach.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He won two more as an assistant with the Giants.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He enters college football with three hundred and thirty three
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: NFL wins, just fourteen behind the all time record of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: three forty seven set by Don Chula, that coach. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he walked away from that. He acted like and said
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he didn't really get a lot of interest from NFL team. See,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: so that should also tell you something about perhaps even
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: if Jerry Jones had decided to make a change.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, a lot of us are
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: surprised here or sitting in his chair that he would
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: not go back to the NFL. But I think a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: lot of NFL owners are concerned about, you know, how
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: much control Belichick would want.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And if you're a GM, you don't want Belichick to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: come in. You know, It's like, no, I don't want
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: him doing my job. You know, I want to do
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: my job and be able to find a different head
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: coach that would work with me. So that seems to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: be the common issue. I mean, last year, Craig in Atlanta,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you know, it seemed like, oh, he's going to Atlanta,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and apparently he was like the third or fourth choice
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: for Arthur Blatt, you know, and it goes back to you, well,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you know, they worry about him having full control now
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: at u NC, you know, the head coach is also
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the you know, he's also the GM, you know, so
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the owner pretty much. And you know, he did bring
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: back Michael Lombardi as his GM, who was with them
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in New England. And I think that Cleveland for a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: little bit and has been doing a lot of sports
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: media stuff. So for for UNC, a lot of control
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: for Belichick, which is, you know, what he wants and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: probably is not going to get from an NFL team
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: now after what happened at the end of the NFL
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: run there and what he did the Mac Jones. What
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I am curious till Craig is did they figure out
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen with the son Steven, because it
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: did seem like par the agreement with him being able
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to shoe in his son, Stephen Belichick, who is the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: DC at Washington, the University of Washington, not the Commanders,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to take his spot after Belichick decides to step down.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's what everybody is kind of thinking
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and expecting. So we'll see, we'll see how we'll see
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: how that rolls out all right? So that, by the way,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: was not the only college football head coaching move. Rich
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: rod is back in Morgantown. M rich Rodriguez back at
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. He's at Jacksonville State. He was the head
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: coach at West Virginia from two thousand and one through
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. He had three straight ten win
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: campaigns and he beat Georgia and the Sugar Bowl in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: those six round I think they blew them out if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: memory correct. I may be wrong about that. I have
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to go back and look at that. But they beat
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. I may be thinking about
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the the win that George had over Hawaii. Remember the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: year Hawaii went to the Sugar Bowl. I think so
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: former quarterback Passaway Man I loved that team. Yeah, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: he had West Virginia right on the cusp of going
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to the BCS National Championship game. And remember they lost
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the backyard brawl to Pitt. I think it was like
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: thirteen to nine, and it kept him from going to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the National Championship. And it was pretty tense there after
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that and he left. He went to Michigan and there
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: was a legal battle over his buyout. He is a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: West Virginia native, and now he's back. He did a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: heck of a job at Jacksonville State, he really did,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and they won, uh there back to back nine and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: four seasons they won the conference. And remember this, this program,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this Jacksonville State pro is not that far removed from
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: being FCS. They haven't been you know, FBS that long.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Same thing like what Sam Houston is great. What Casey
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Keeler did there getting them to the Conference USA, uh,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you know, right on the cusp of getting in the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: championship game and they got in their first real, really
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and truly full fledged available eligible bowl situation. They qualified
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and they're going to the New Orleans Bowl. And then
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of course coach Keeler left. He's gonna be a new
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: head football coach at Temple. But riche Rod did a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: heck of a job at Jacksonville State and he now
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: takes over a school. It's in a different spot than
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it was when he dominated. Remember when he was the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: coach at West Virginia, they were in the Big East
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and they were really doing well. They had Pat White
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: at quarterback. He had some really good teams. But since
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they've joined the Big twelve. In twenty twelve, West Virginia
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: has had all of one ten win season, that's it,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and they haven't been in the AP poll in six years.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has not been ranked in an AP pole
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, so the program had fallen off quite
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a bit.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And so now.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: In West Virginia also has not had one of the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: larger NIL budgets. Supposedly that's going to change now, so
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: rich Rod is back back as the head coach at
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. May that'll mean something there. And then one
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: other coaching note. Did you see who UNLV hired? Yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Dan Mullen as in College Football Final Dan Mullen, And
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I did think that Florida got a little too antsy
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and pulled the trigger on him a little too soon
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: after he'd left Mississippi State for Florida. And there was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: all that talk about doing the same with Billy Napier
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: this year, and the Napier kind of flipped the script
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit, turned around, got some big wins, So
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I think his seed has cooled now Napier's has, But
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Dan Mullen, who Napier succeeded, is now the new head
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: coach at UNLV five year deal. They say he didn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: sign but expected to be signed here appreciating He last
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: coached three years ago at Florida, fired after four seasons.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He went thirty four and fifteen in four seasons. He
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: had an appearance in the SEC Championship Game and three
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: New Year Six Bowl games, and he got fired after that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So prior to that, he coached nine seasons Mississippi State.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: He's one O, three and sixty one over thirteen years.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Barry otom left UNLV. He did a heck of a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: job there. As he makes his way back around to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: power for status, he's the new head coach at Purdue.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Remember Otam had been at Missouri and then at UNLV.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Did a good job there. He went nineteen and eight
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and two seasons. So and UNLV will play cow in
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the I think they've changed the name of this bowl game.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, wasn't it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Everything I read said it was the LA Bowl presented
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: by Gronk, So I thought, you know, like kind of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: like used to be the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: all that other kind of stuff. Apparently the name of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: this bowl game now is the the Art of Sport
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: LA Bowl. Next Wednesday, go back and change it. That's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that's awful art of sport LBA. I'm gonna need to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: look into that and see that. So we'll just see anyway,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So Dan Mullen back in the coaching carousel, and he'll
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: be the coach at UNLV all right, coming up on
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the program in the three o'clock hour. In the four
• 11:15
