  Speaker 1: gotta do in the college football playoffs. Survive in advance

  Speaker 1: and the University of Miami will host the national championship

  Speaker 1: Christobal who played with those guys way back in the day. Obviously,

  Speaker 1: were in shambles there for a while. Great night, prideful
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: night if you're an old miss fan. Sucks to lose,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but incredible run Trinidad Keewan Lacy. It was fun. So
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that game. The Miami Dolphins fired their
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: coach Mike McDaniel today. I think all signs now it
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: feels like point to John Harbaugh as their next head coach.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That seems like the most logical move given they just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: fired their coach. On a Thursday. A little weird had
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a Fugazi with the University of Washington quarterback because it's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Fugazi Friday. But he's actually not leaving contenders at the night.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He's he's gonna return. So we'll discuss that as well

  Speaker 1: After the Oregon Indiana game, obviously Winter takes on Miami.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I think Jackson will join me. Jackson went to the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: game that I just saw. He posts on social media.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: He was interviewing Michael Irvin as they were walking off
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the field, so he's enjoying himself out in Glendale. More
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: power to him making that drive. But what a night

  Speaker 1: If you listened on Collins Feed three and out, Apple, Spotify,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: wherever you listen, we got you covered. So let's dive
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: into some football. What a massive moment for the University
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of Miami. This was a program when I was a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: kid in the late nineties, early two thousands. By far,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I would say, when I was probably like elementary, junior
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: high going into high school, the best athlete in northern
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: California was DJ Williams. And back it wasn't that long ago.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people the best recruit stayed
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: semi locally. Like if you were a great player in California,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you went to UCLA, you went to USC maybe went
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to Oregon or Washington. He was so good he went
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to the University of Miami. I mean this was this
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was like two thousand or two thousand and one. And
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I ended up, you know, when high school played against
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: his brothers that ended up playing at Cow. But I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: just remember thinking like, that's like an NFL program, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: they were the coolest thing I would say in America
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: when I was young, and even up through high school,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: heading in you know, early on into college in two
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: three oh four range, and then they just haven't mattered
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that much. And tonight for Mario to rattle off games
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: against two SEC schools and you know, win that game
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: last week against Ohio State, that there is no disputing
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: his team is built a lot like an NFL team.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They're fantastic on the line of scrimmage, they have somewhat
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of a game manager at quarterback. It looked like they
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: got Tyreek Hill at eighteen years old playing wide receiver.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: They got fantastic running back. They got an NFL defensive linemen.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I thought that they were working all missed throughout the game.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The problem was is the score was like seventeen to thirteen,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: nineteen to seventeen, that they could never extend the lead
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they were losing in the fourth quarter. They had they
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: dropped four interceptions, They had a bunch of penalties from
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you know, offensive linemen holding from offensive linemen jumping off sides.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Clearly they were gassed from targeting penalties, which nothing grinds
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: my gears more. These guys are eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The majority of them are not gonna be first and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: second round picks. For most of these guys, this will
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: be the pinnacle of their athletic career. Even if they
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: go to the NFL. A lot of them might be
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like a practice squad guy or whatever. These guys are
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: starting in the final four college football in an NFL Arena,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: wh twenty thirty million people watching on TV. No one
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: at this point in time is trying to hurt anybody.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: All these guys are so fast. Everyone knows the rules
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: at this point in time. They've been coached from Peewee's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to not lead with their crown of the helmet. This
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is not you know, John Lynch and Steve Atwater and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: guys like that, cracking skulls. So I'm not even against
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: throwing a penalty. They're the rules. You're trying to get
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: rid of the concussions, mitigate these lawsuits. But to kick
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: these young kids, these guys are kids out of a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: game is just it's like criminal activity. To me, it's insanity.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's crazy. I the first year, I understand it,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But when I watch that, I'm like, you're kicking this
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: guy out of the game and he's got to miss
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the first half of the National Championship game. It really
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: makes me mad. And some of these to me, like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: these aren't like blatant, vicious hits. These are just whambam.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Guys are moving guys, changing body positions. But everything felt
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: like it was kind of unraveling for Miami, and you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: look up they dominated the time possession. They were running
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the ball down old Missus throat. But the one thing
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you will say about the running ReBs is there was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like a cockroach thing to them, like it was hard
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to kill them. It really was. Even early in the game,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it felt like, could Miami just strangle these guys out?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It kind of and I was texting some people kind
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of had like a Seattle forty nine or dry feel
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to the game. Like the first five six minutes, you're like,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: one team is just way more physical. They're just gonna
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: physically overwhelm them. Then all of a sudden, Kiwan Lacey,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: who he'll be an NFL player one day, he's only
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a true sophomore, takes one seventy plus to the Crip
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and you're like, you just can't count these guys out.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And obviously as the game goes on, the best part
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: about Miami is the reason I put a decent You know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I was supposed to cash out all my winnings from
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Mike Parlay, but I got a little gambler in me
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so threw a little on Miami. Problem was I got greedy.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't take the three and a half. I went
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to four and a half to get better odds. Obviously,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: they only won by four, so that sucked, but I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: didn't deserve it because honestly, Miami could have easily lost
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: this game. You can't have and listen, they mentioned this
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast. There's typically a reason defensive backs play
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that position and not wide receiver. There's a small percentage
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of guys like Dion Sanders or whatever. They obviously could
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: have done both. Most of the guys their hands aren't great.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: But like at the highest levels of Division one and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the NFL, there are certain interceptions that you and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: should be able to make. In Miami, they dropped four,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: but two of them were ones I think high school
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: kids make. I mean, those are ones that in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: film room the DV coach is gonna look at the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: guy and be like, how does this happen? And it
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: can't happen in moments like this because listen, you're in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the final four, you're playing the ole. Miss is really good.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That they really are situational football. Their offense is really explosive,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that their defense is just feisty, their D line, I mean,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Saban was talking about Perkins the pass rusher before the game.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: He's really talented coming off the edge. It feels like
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: they just played much better as a unit than they
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: are as like individuals beside him. But I think Miami
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is gonna be like, we played like shit, we did
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: not play well and if we played a team, listen,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this is why I like Miami a lot. In this game,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I thought they were just way more talented. They just
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: have way more NFL guys, especially on the line of scrimmage.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: The other thing is you could argue Ole Miss's best
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: NFL prospect beside Perkins might be Lacy and he he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: got you know, he had a hamstring injury. Hell, he
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent in the previous game with the shoulder,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and then today, you know, he puts on the sleeve
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and they're working him out at halftime. They kind of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: used him as a decoy in the second half. But
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is this tournament is
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like the NCAA tournament Basketball survive in advance, so you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: can coach them up, you can figure out the mistakes later.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You had more points than they did at the end
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of the game. And Carson Beck, who is a very
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: bizarre player because he can make individual throws from the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: pocket that are like, damn, that is a great drive.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Throw over the middle, like that is a great just
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: let it rip, step up in the pocket. He hit
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a deep bomb to day that was scramble into his
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: right kind of you know, step back in to avoid
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the pass rusher, let it rip him and the guy
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: who was wide open. But it was it was a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: really nice play. And then he makes other throws like
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: on some of these out routes. He doesn't have a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: bad arm by any means. I wouldn't say he's Caleb Williams,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: but some of these out routes and some of these
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: down the field throws his like lob touch. It's just
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: very bizarrer. I don't know what to make of him.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he showed enough over the course
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of these big games, like he's going to get drafted
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on the third day though, but he came through in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the clutch when it mattered, made some big throws, has
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: made some big runs tonight the previous couple games, keeping
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: plays of lives with his legs. They talked about it
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast that the OC has been showing him
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: NFL film me he's a big and trying to teach him, like,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you can fall forward and gain an extra yard or two.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So if you're scrambling on second and five, it can
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: be the difference of you falling down three yards and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: gaining that extra two yards and getting a first down.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: He's doing a pretty good job of that. He's clearly
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a pretty tough guy, but he made some big plays
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, like it'll be
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a very memorable moment in the history of I don't know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: one of the more sacred programs of this great sport
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of him running that ball in at the end of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the game. Now, part of it is old missus completely gassed.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: They had been on the field. I think the snap
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: before they said eighty eight snaps so close to ninety snaps,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and that you took advantage of it. They did a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: good job on that final drive, scored a touchdown with
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: only eighteen seconds. Because the other thing, even if the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: other team doesn't have timeouts in college football, unlike the pros,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the clock stopping when you get a first down is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: really can shorten the game. It's also why like when
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Trinidad threw the touchdown, I think there were Miami got
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the ball back with three minutes and thirteen seconds. Well,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: they also had timeouts that might as well be six
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: or seven minutes when you factor in the clock, stopping
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: at first downs, like the college game just goes a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: lot slower that way. So I don't blame Trinidad at
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: all for letting it rip. I mean they went sixth
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: plays seventy five yards in a minute fifty one seconds
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to gain the lead twenty seven to twenty four. You
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: can't nitpick it at that you're just trying to score.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: But they left him a lot of time and Miami
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: did a good job. And part of it is because
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: they can run the ball of you know, driving down
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the field, mixing in some runs and scoring with eighteen
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: seconds left. And even that being said, Trinidad had a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: pass with six seconds left, you know, from forty yards away.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: So I do think that it was a fun game.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It was extremely entertaining, partly because Miami kept him in
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the game by doing stupid shit, part of it because
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss stays in the game because that's who they are.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is this eighteen year old kid,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Tony the number ten for Miami. He is a special player.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It's different. But remember last year when we saw Jeremiah
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Smith in every game you'd watch Ohio State, and he's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: playing with at the time a Meccha a Buka, who
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: was a first pick. Tate is going to be a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: first round pick. I mean, he's playing with elite talent.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: They got a bunch of other guys are gonna get
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: drafted him his whole team. He played on an NFL team,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: He's like, that guy's the best player on the team.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I felt like, especially to night. I mean,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: they obviously Messador and you know Bain is a top
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: ten pick, but they didn't do that much tonight. In
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: terms of the pass rush. I don't remember Trinidad really
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: getting pressured by them very often. I don't remember Baye
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: on Trinidad in the backfield at all from a pass
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: rush standpoint. The best player on the field tonight from
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Miami was the running back Fletcher, who's I mean a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: big time player. He's he's really good. He had twenty
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: two carriacster for one hundred and thirty three yards. But
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Malachi Toni's five for eighty one do not do justice
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: what we just witnessed. His presence on the field, the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: catch he made that was out of bounds. I don't
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: know if he's quite as fast because Tyreek is. I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. Besides, like Randy Moss or Deon Sanders, like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: one of the fastest players in the history of the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: sport of football. Tony's play speed though, is elite. And
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: some guys and this is what to me makes special players.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: When we talk about the all time great players, you
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: can go position by a position. There's like an instinctive
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: quality to their ability. They're just like, this guy was
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just born to play football. And when you watch ten,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you're like, this guy was just born to play football.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: He was a three star recruit. Now, sometimes you can
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: get you know, undervalued in certain areas for whatever reason,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: which is crazy being a kid from Florida. But he
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: is he's elite. I mean, he had ninety five catches
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: this year. If they are able to get their version,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I mean people have been like, well, can they get
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith, who's also from Florida, get him a transfer.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: That's probably not happening. But find another guy who can
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: just be you know, a draft type pick right a second, third,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: fourth round or to go along with him, they will
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: have an unstoppable wide receiver corp because he is gonna
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: be right there with Jeremiah Smith next year. Is the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: best two wide receivers in the country. He is a dominant,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: dominant player. I've been from the jump. When they played
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame and he was a true freshman. He played
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and he's like, God, this guy's pretty good to where
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: he's at now, Like, I'm the best fucking player on
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the field. You guys are the best team in the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: SEC right now. I'm gonna run circles around you guys.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And he feels like he's getting open NonStop. Their scheme
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in plays for him, that sweet CFL play when they
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: ran him on that on the motion and he got
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of depth and he's beat the guy to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the side. You're like, God, this guy is this guy
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is sweet. So that was really really fun to watch him.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Him and Fletcher tonight were just we're pretty special for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Miami because defensively, like they weren't as good as the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks that they simply weren't and some
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of that could be maybe ole Missus tackles clearly held
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: up better. Trinidad gives much more mobility then Ohio State's guy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: If olemiss was able to pull this off. It's not
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: apples to apples because before the transfer portal, this never
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: would have happened. These schools didn't have personnel departments funneling
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: tape to coaches to just look at all these kids
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: at playing at all these schools, you know, from D
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: ONEAA to D two. It just this guy never would
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: have ended up in the SEC. But I still don't
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: think that diminishes what an incredible accomplishment it is for
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: this guy to go Division two and a year later.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to even just get an offer to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: go to the SEC, then end up starting and be
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: on a team that had a lead in the final
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: four with under four minutes to go against a team
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: with probably ten to twelve starters that are going to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the NFL, like going to get drafted. That and he's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: every bit as good as anyone on the field. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: mean that final drive in really all night. He's always
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: looking to go deep. He's really accurate on the move,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he's tough as shit. That there were points in time
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in this game when clearly Lacy's banged up. I mean
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: he only had eleven carries, and if you remove the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: seventy yard run, he only had ten carries for thirty yards,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So it's not like Old Miss could really run the ball.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: It really fell on his shoulders and he had to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: make plays against you know, multiple guys that are gonna
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: get drafted, a bunch of front seven guys that can
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: fly and hit. It's like, yeah, I'm every bit as
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: good as these guys, and it looked like that. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it's weird, right if you're Old Miss, You're thinking we
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: had a lead to go to the National Championship with
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: under four minutes to go. Yet at the same time,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it's like that was a miraculous season and when Lay left, you,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you know, it became this kind of crazy story and
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: rightfully so clearly everyone thought you were gonna be too Lane,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: but after that, like it was gonna be over. Not
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: only was it not over, you beat Georgia, you easily
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: could have beat Miami. It's one of those I think
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they're probably the one team of the four that if
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you lose this game, you'd kind of hold your head high. Right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: If Miami lost this game, it would have been devastating.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: It would have been tough to shake. For Mario, It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: like you dominated on the ground, pretty sure, you dominated
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: time was time possession forty to eight, forty one to eighteen.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: It would have been you know, Mario's team had ten penalties.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It's like you dominated the game. Should have had four picks.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: You had the ball for forty minutes. Somehow you had
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: six more penalties in them and honestly, it felt like
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: fifteen more penalties. This would have been one for Mario
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: where even Sez fans would agree. You've got the better team.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You are physically dominating them. How do you lose this game?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: But no one can say shit, It's part of surviving events.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: You win. I'm in the Natty playmaker ray Lewis Edger
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and James Reggie Wayne, fire up that PJ and we'll
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: see you down. Where's this game in Miami. It's gonna
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: be a huge home field advantage for those guys. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: was much more confident on my I thought Miami might
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: blow them out. I almost I was looking at some
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: alternate lines. At like nine and a half, you get
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: like plus two twenty five. I'm like, that's a little bold.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I just went to four and a half. But there
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: are points in time, like if they just get a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: touchdown here, like they take an eleven point lead. You
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: can kind of smother them, but that's not really Miami.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna blow out the good teams.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: They're gonna play in games. I mean all three of
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: their games have kind of looked somewhat similar. They're all
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: really close. If a bounce goes here, bounce goes there,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: it could go the other way. And some of that's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Mario And listen, I'm not saying he's not doing good job.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: He's doing fantastic. He's resurrected this program. But he kind
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of felt them getting tight there for a little bit.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe there was a little fatigue the offensive lineman part
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of it. You run the ball so much. But if
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Miami had lost, it would have been devastating. Like that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: crew of all the legends, it would have been tough
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: for them to hit the town to night in Scottsdale.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: That being said, Scottsdale better watch out because the Playmaker
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and that crew they're coming. So the clubs in Old
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Town buckle up, and honestly, the runn of Revs probably
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: coming too, and they should. It should be celebrated. Pete
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Golding and what he was able to do with all
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the guys leaving was pretty incredible and the fight and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the heart this team showed the last couple of weeks.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I mean last week they were down nine points a halftime.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: This week that will scorse seventeen to thirteen and a half.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: It was seventeen thirty at half in Miami. Their kicker,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: who feels like Adam Vina Terry or Justin Tucker in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: his prime, missed a kick, had another one that goes
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: off the uprights. Miami's got missed a kick two. This
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: field can be a little weird. I mean, clearly it's
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: it's not great. Honestly, I hate everything about this stadium.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's out in BFY and Glendale, paying the ass to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: get to it looks pretty good on TV, but I've
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: never the field always feels just not great. Remember a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago with the Eagles and Chiefs, they
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: hated the field. I do think there's some some situation
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: there with the owners kind of cheap. I mean, he's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: probably getting cheap grass, refusing to pay for water. But
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: from an entertainment standpoint, it was really entertaining and Trinidad
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: is one of the coolest stories in college sports in
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a long, long time. Division two to starting at quarterback
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: for a team in the Final four college football and
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that team's not Alabama, that's ole Miss. I mean, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: had people texting me like, how do you do this?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, the starter that replaced Jackson Dark got injured.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Then he came in, they started rolling and he just
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: never pulled him out. And clearly his running and he's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: got a big arm. I mean, he's not very big,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: but his touch on the move is just his elite
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he was. He's really really fun to watch and clearly
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: he's trying to get another year of eligibility because one
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: of the years at fair State, I think one year
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he read shirt in the other year he was injured.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So he's fighting it. We don't have clarity there. Hopefully
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: for an entertainment standpoint, he gets it, because I do
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: think that'd be pretty cool. You know, Lacy's already committed
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to come back. Kickers committed to come back. Trinidad is
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: committed to come back as long as he gets it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if ole Miss is back in this spot,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: but if Trinidad gets granted another year of eligibility, they're
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: gonna be good. I mean, Lacy's clearly one of the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: best running back in the country. Trinidad is clearly one
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the country. You just play
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in a lot of close games when you're in the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: big tanner of the SEC. They have this weapon, a kicker,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: so I mean their coach. One of the cool visuals
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: in the pregame was Pete Golding, Like when he got
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: hired at Alabama, he just had this brown, curly hair.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Now he just I mean it's all gray. Shows you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: what the SEC will do to you. Meanwhile, you look
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: at Mario, he looks fantastic. But that was fun, really
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. I hope tomorrow's game is just as
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: entertaining close, even if it's some penalties and some interceptions.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, the one interception on Carson back was not
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: necessarily his fault. The ball gets tipped and they catch it. Meanwhile,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: miamim he's got to be like, how do my dbs
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: can't catch? And the answer is, yeah, they can't catch
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: because some of these are just like Willie May's dropping
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: in their hands. They're dropping them. I mean, the one
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: deep bomb that Trinidad threw that bounces off the dB
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and the wide receiver to twenty four literally right in
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: his hands, and it's not like it's flying. I mean,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: it's just it's a little lob right into his hands.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: It just hits the ground. That was by far the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: worst one. Now granted that would have been at like
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the ten or five yard line, but still that was rough.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: But Miami's in the National Championship. We'll see how they
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: came out health wise. Messidor got injured, but he came
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: back in the game. They lost Loft in the tight
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: end when he got smashed across the middle. There there
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: were some big hits in this game. Miami was laying
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the wood. Ole Miss was was hitting. Ole Miss was good.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I think I was guilty of being like,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: you know, Ole Miss is kind of like the little
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: engine that could. They have a good offense, but their defense,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the defense not bad. Their front pretty good, pass rush linebackers,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: tackle well, even though they missed some tackles to night.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I think miss tackles has been a problem for him.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: But they're also I mean, look at the teams are
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: playing and their defensive like their safeties hit corners, try hard,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: they play their ass off. So that that was they
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: earned a lot of as someone that bet against them, tonight.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I leave that game with a lot of respect and
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Miami makes me nervous. They definitely have the high end
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: talent to win the national championship. There is no disputing that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: When you can run fifty times for two hundred yards,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: control the ball on the on the ground. Obviously it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: will be more difficult against Indiana or Oregon, especially Indiana,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: but that's what they're gonna do. Like they're going to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: run the ball and both. I mean, Fletcher's really good,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: but the backup running back was running his ass off.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Like that's that's their formula. Run the ball, control the clock,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: play like an NFL team, play like Seattle, play d So.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I just think at home, it's going to be a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: crazy home game. Very very cool night for you know,

• 27:53
  Speaker 1: we had some breaking news today that Stephen Ross I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: assumed just because everyone that covers the sport was like, Yeah,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's coming back, and then Monday goes by, Tuesday
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: goes by. By the time you get to Wednesday, you're
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: not even You're like, yeah, I just think he's coming back.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think they were gonna announce it. They
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: were just kind of out of side, out of mind.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And then to this morning when the news breaks, everyone goes, WHOA,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? And then you realize, like, yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he's gonna want John Harbaugh and Steven Ross has tried
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: for a long long time to get big name coaches
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to take his job for a long time, specifically Jim
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh multiple times, and has never been able to land him.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And his advantage now over all these other teams. He
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a general manager because well before he fired Mike,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: he fired his GM in the middle of the season,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: so he has a clean slate. It's the only organization
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that can offer that because the New York Giants, which
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: feel much more like John Harbaugh, right, they feel much
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: more presidential, buttoned up. I mean they haven't been buttoned
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: up on the field, but in terms of the weight,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh has some like Tom Coughlin type vibes. But
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: here's the problem. When they fired Brian Daboll, they didn't
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: fire Joe Shane and if anything, they've doubled down like
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane's or got Now. Part of it is the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: owner has cancer and I think he's in the middle
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of treatment right now, so firing him maybe would make
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: things a lot more complicated if you trust him to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: run the process. But at sixty three years old, John
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh has the opportunity now because of the leverage he possesses,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: he can say no, I don't want to work for
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that guy. Help. Last year, Liam Cohen told the Miami Dolphins, yeah,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not working for Trent Balky. Now here's where the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Jags realize, Okay, Trent to see. You don't think the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Giants are gonna do that, though I think they should
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: if you could get John Harbaugh and listen, I'm not
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: wanting to like just give all the power to the coach,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: but John Harbaugh wants to go tandem with another guy
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: from the Ravens. And there is not another organization in
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the league that I trust more their scouting department and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the guys that have learned under Ozzy through DaCosta than
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that organization. And John's smart. He's at a front row
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: seat for eighteen years how to run a personnel department.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And he's not gonna work for Joe Shane. So unless
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna fire Joe Shane, he's not gonna
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: be there. I googled John Harbaugh's resume because I was like, obviously,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: he's been in Baltimore for eighteen years, and he was
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia before that, and I never crossed Bass. He
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: was gone before I got there, but he showed up
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia in nineteen ninety eight. So from nineteen ninety
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: eight till Tuesday, he has spent his entire professional life
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and Baltimore. I forget. I mean, I've made
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the drive before, but it's not very far apart. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Baltimore is actually a little colder than Philadelphia.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Both of them miserable, freezing winners. Not an enjoyable experience.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Miami, when you're sixty three years old,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: when you've made a lot of money, think how many
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: people over the last decade twenty years migrate from New
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: York area, Philadelphia area, Washington area down to Florida. Why
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: has some advantages? One winners or paradise. Two you don't
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: have to pay any taxes. Three for him in Miami,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: kind of just a chill job. Not that much pressure.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: When you take the Ravens job, it was winter, go home.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: When you take the Eagles job, it's winter or go home.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: You take Miami job, go to the playoffs a couple of times.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Everyone be happy. Haven't won a playoff game since two thousand.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty six. It's twenty twenty six. I was
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: fourteen years old the last time the Miami Dolphins won
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: a playoff game. I'm forty fucking one. So if you're
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, not that much pressure. And I've been saying
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: this theme over and over a lot of these guys,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: you know, part of his brother, this thing that he's
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: really chasing. He's trying to win the Super Bowl. Like
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: John doesn't really have that hanging over his head at all.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Knock that bad boy out a long time ago. Now,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: obviously he would like to win another one, but you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: can't really argue, like just from a job standpoint, night Listen,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I get it. If you're him at six three years old,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: when you're as rich as him, you're like, I'm not
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: just gonna go and create some relationship with Joe Shane
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: when he's proven nothing, Like I'm not in the I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: don't want to do that. I don't have to do that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: But they do have players on their roster. You look
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: at Miami, they're gonna have to cut a quarterback that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: is owed a ton of money. Last time I checked.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Their roster is not exactly loaded. The cupboards aren't exactly full.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: So it actually has some I would say parallels to
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: what Sean Payton had to do in Denver. Now it
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: did feel like Sean Payton again. Also Super Bowl champ
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: had this big chip on his shoulder. And listen, maybe
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh will pissed off that he got fired and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: will just be driven that division. I mean, Josh Allen's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Mike Vrabel, Drake May, they're not going anywhere.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: The Jets might be like a high school team, but
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the other two teams are pretty damn good. Last time
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I checked. They want to combine like twenty five games.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Drake May probably gonna finish second in the MVP. Josh
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Allen is the reigning MVP. Kind of a problem when
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback. So it's one of those jobs,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: like it's not easy to figure that out. You can
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: always go we will try to figure it out. Yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: great in theory, but it would be extremely challenging. And listen,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: maybe he wants a nice challenge. Well he gets some
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: sweet house on the beach in South Florida. Wouldn't blame
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: him at all. I hate the cold. I don't know
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: how these guys do it. I mean, I get it,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: they're getting paid a lot of money and they get
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to coach sweep teams in the NFL. But I for
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: all you guys living in the cold, I mean, it's
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: it's like fifty two degrees in Scottsdale right now. It's
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: so cold. I can't feel my hands or my feet.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I've never liked it, but I just think that it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: pretty clear. And I'm Jeff Darlington, who knows Miami pretty well.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: That organization was like, they didn't fire Mike McDaniel to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: just hire John Harball. I mean, come on, guys, what
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: are we talking about? They fired him to hire Armasala.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: And I also think this. You know Mike McDaniel, who knows.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are some more organizations that I don't.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It's pretty clear. Don't really know what they're doing, but
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: he is gonna be extremely coveted, and there are a
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: ton of They's already been reported. Dan Campbell's called him, obviously,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: he knows Dan Quinn well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. There would be teams lined up to
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: hire Mike McDaniel, but he just signed an extension last year.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's I'm just gonna guess nine ten million dollars
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, So he doesn't even
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: need to worry about money in a weird way. He's
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: on a easy street. And that's I've been mentioning this
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: theme for a while. I talked to a lot of
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: coaching buddies who are a little like position coaches. They say,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you'd be shocked how often guys like just do not
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: give a shit if they're fighting. How many human beings
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: do you know they're making this much money. It's like
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: most of us are always on edge because, hey, if
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: this goes sideways, we're in trouble. Well, if you know
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: you got twenty million, thirty million, forty million, if shit
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: hits the fan and tomorrow head hits the pillow every night,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: pretty you don't have them with much anxiety. Stress levels
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: are pretty low. So it's gonna be fascinating how this
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: all shakes out. Wouldn't shock me at all. If the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Miami and Harball thing, if that's the way it plays out,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it's kind of sexier entitled than it actually plays out
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to be, because it's be a challenge to turn that.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: It'd be a massive challenge to turn that around. When
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh got hired for the Baltimore Ravens, google some
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: of the guys on the roster. One of them was
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: at the game to night, same was ray Lewis. Were
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: of the greatest players I've ever seen. Ed Reed not bad.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Terrell sucks like they had dudes on that defense. They
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: had to get a quarterback where they drafted Joe Flacco
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: right away because they had a high pick. There's no
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco in this draft. This quarterback draft sucks. Now.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: You can say maybe next year, maybe a couple of years. Yeah,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: things change, but you never know. There's no guarantee. So
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I guess my if I'm betting man right now, I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: just kind of expect John Harbaugh to go to Miami
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: because I don't expect him to work for Joe Shane.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: And if they're not gonna fire Joe Shane, then he's
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: not gonna work there. And he's not gonna work at
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Arizona or Tennessee or Cleveland. So and I could see
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: one of those type places hired Mike McDaniel, which I
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: don't really think is the head coach, but I don't
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: blame the guy if someone offers him head coaching job
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: for taking the head coaching job, I guess we'll get
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: out of here on this. It's Fugazi Friday, and my
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Fugazi was gonna be the quarterback at Washington. His name,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Desmond Williams was signed a contract for four million dollars
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: to be the quarterback at Washington last year. But here's
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the thing I've learned this. I guess I kind of
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: knew this, but I've watched so many podcasts and read
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: some articles. These aren't employment contracts. So if I signed
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: a contract as a college football player for a million dollars,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: that's just them giving me a million dollars for like
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: my image and likeness. Right. It's not an employment contract
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: like most of us have with whoever we're in business
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: with or work for. So that's where the gray area
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: of like, are any of these contracts binding? And Doug Hendrickson,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: who actually represents a lot of coaches and players, tweeted
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: out today and I know Doug a little bit that
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: he dropped him. He just like, I'm out of business.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: He also represents jet Fish, so when he did that,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like, God, this thing's going to get really ugly.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: And obviously, if you're Washington, you know in the transfer
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: portal you can sign multiple wide receivers, multiple alignment. You're
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: only signing one big quarterback, especially at these prices, So
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: once you sign your guy, you stop looking at all
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the other guys. And if you're willing to pay millions
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: of dollars for your guy. Well, if you didn't have
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a guy, you would definitely be in the market for
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the top guys because you're paying a premium. So they
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: were completely fucked, I mean, and they knew it. It's
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: why they immediately start leaking out. We are gonna go
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to war, We'll go to court. And the funniest part
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: about this is that Lane Kiffin was involved. The kid
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: was gonna go to Lane Kiffin, which is hilarious. And
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: they were clearly gonna sue LSU sue the kid. They
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: were gonna have to. We're gonna have a choice. And
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about today, do you know what's funny
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: is like in the NFL something like this happened. It
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: never would Teams don't sue other teams because they're all
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: business partners. Right. They might hate each other on the field,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: like the Ravens and the Steelers, but when the Roonies
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: and the Bashatties they all see each other at the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: owner's meetings, they're all friends, you knowhy because they're all
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: getting rich together. That's not the way in college football.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Because I was thinking, like, do you think LSU Because
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: my first thought was like, oh, Lane's gonna be a
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: pain in the ass. Real You think LSU's administration, nil people,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: their management gives a crap about the University of Washington.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: You think they give two shits about Jedfish. If Lane
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: wants this quarterback and he's able to get this quarterback,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: let's sign him. We don't care what his situation is
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: in Washington. And that that's the problem. That's the old
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: fugazi with college football. You have these the two most
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: important conferences, the big ten in the SEC, that they
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: don't even care about screwing each other, let alone inside
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the conference. We've seen with Old Miss and LSU, the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: business is all out of whack because no one's working together.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: And I at first, I kind of wanted to defend
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the kid because I was thinking if I was nineteen
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one years old, I would probably and have
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: people offering me this much money. I would think rules
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: didn't apply either. Why would you? I mean, I remember
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: getting parking tickets like when I was in college at
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I would just throw them in the trash,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: throw them in. I wouldn't even care. You have to
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: understand young men's minds. I saw a lot of like
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: older big J's like, I understand the chaos that is
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: going on, and this is a bad look and embarrassing,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: and clearly the agent was didn't love it. But I
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: think we underestimate, like there's a lot of responsibility for
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty year old guys to think they were like ramifications.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Why would he think there were ramifications. They've never seen
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: ramifications in their life. They've dominated football. This guy's offering
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: me money. This guy's offering me more money. See you,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: They see it with coaches doing it all the time.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they So obviously it looks like he's going
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: back to Washington. He's like, oh my bad, I'm sorry
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: back guys. And I also think in this day and
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's gonna care. I really don't. It's
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: one of those things. It was probably a big deal
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: on social media. If he goes back, it'll all be
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: forgotten in a couple of weeks and Lane will deny
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: it and everyone will just move on. So one of
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the biggest it was gonna be an all time just
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: story that feels like it went away. And other than that,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I did watch F one last night. It was fantastic.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: It was excellent. I don't talk about a fugazi. They say, like,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: age you look worse and get into your sixties. My
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: wife looks at me, She's like, how does Brad pittstill
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: look so good? I'm like, damn, I don't know. He's
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a good looking dude. I'm like, Maria, how old do
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: you think he is? I was gonna guess, like fifty five,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: guy's sixty two. Now I get it. You get work done,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: but he some guys get work done, especially at that age,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: you can really tell, like can't really tell he looks
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like he's like forty eight. It
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: looks fantastic, but excellent movie. It's kind of a throwback
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Jerry Bruckenheimer, who did a lot of the Sweet movies
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: in the nineties, especially Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: back in the day. It's kind of like a twenty
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: twenty five version of that with better graphics, just similar,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: kind of better story a little bit I guess, still
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: a little cheesy, but it was. It was an excellent watch.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: So I've actually roofman f one seen two good movies
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: in the last week. I'd go months without finding it
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to go. I mean, I subscribe to like seventeen services.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Just looking around, it's like there's nothing to watch, and
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: whenever you find a good movie, you feel. Now, this
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: is a movie everyone's been talking about, but I would
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: highly recommend it. God, I just I will. I'd pay
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: good money to look twenty percent as good as Brad
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Pitt on his worst day at forty five as he
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: does at sixty two. So congrats to the University of Miami.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Congrats to the Miami Dolphins that look like they're gonna
• 43:29

• 44:35
  Speaker 1: So today right now we're gonna do a little mailbag
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the Instagram two
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: f's firing my DMS questions answered right here in the show.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Very very easy to do. We're recording this before the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Thursday night game Miami taking on Well, miss I kind
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of like Miami a lot still, have you know from
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: that parlay last week? I haven't cashed out yet. My
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: wife's I take that out. I'm like, eh, you know
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: my Davil on Miami tonight. And before we dive into
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the question, so many of you guys have fired me
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the video Instagram reel of the video of the conspiracy
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: that's going around about the forty nine ers that they
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: practice next to this power plant, which the power of
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: that plant, the whatever it emits is bad for like
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: muscles and tissues and directly correlated with all the forty
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: nine ers injuries. This guy went as close to get
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: used some contraption to get the power of it. It's
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: way above the legal limit. It went viral on Instagram
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and went viral on Twitter slash x. Clearly it's out
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: there and people have been kind of alluding to this
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: for a while. I'm no scientists, got a couple degrees,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: They're pretty meaningless. Never used them a day in my life.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: All I can say is from experience, I've been going
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: to practices there since Jim Harbaugh, Vic Vangil Bowman, Willis
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Frank Gore now so, and they've been practicing there I'm
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: pretty sure well before I ever got involved in this business.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I think since like the late Walsh days. So they
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: have been situated down in this area of their practice
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: facility for decades. Now. They move the stadium from Candlestick,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: which is very very close to San Francisco. I technically
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: it's in San Francisco, but like up toward north of
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: the airport, and obviously they're practice cility now is just
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: right next to Levi Stadium. This video goes viral. My
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: only take would be clearly in the last ten years,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: and definitely of the Kyle Shanahan run which started in
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, where they've led the league in injuries. You
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: would imagine the power, the focus we have in society
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: of everything we use has never been higher coming from
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: this place. But I can't pretend to know if that's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the reason, you'd be crazy to go. Is this something
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: that the forty nine ers have to look into this?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: And if they already haven't, they just don't have a choice.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Then they got to look into this. Now what they're
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: out like, where are they gonna go? Are they gonna
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: move their practicacility because of this? I think if you
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: could prove that this is the reason or a factor,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think you'd have a choice. You couldn't continue
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to practice there now. And the other thing is the
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers practic facilities are not like state of
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the art, right, They're very old. I think they've redone them,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: like updated them, kind of like a remodel. But this
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: is not some brand. This isn't the Jets, this isn't
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: the Rate, this isn't a brand new facility. Yeah, that's
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: my thoughts. There love stories like that, though. Okay, let's
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: just dive in mail back question. Not a Giants fan,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: but I'm super impressed after looking at dart stats fifteen
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, nine rushing only to five interceptions and a
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: couple of fumbles, all without neighbors, a functioning head coach,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: and a run game. I know he's injury prone, but
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: what's been your take on him? He reminds me a
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: lot of Baker Mayfield in Cleveland with the fire and
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: passion he plays with, but a lot more athleticism and
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: less turnovers. Interesting to hear your thoughts. I'll be honest,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks the Giants were unwatchable. It's
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even think you can take anything away from it,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: good or bad. Over the course of the last three
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: or four weeks in his before he got the concussion
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: that knocked him out for a couple of weeks, which
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: kind of ended day Ball's career. I think you saw
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: everything you wanted to see from a physical trade standpoint.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I think one key with Jackson Dart is his skill set.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: He's a dual threat quarterback, not like in the sense
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson. But let's few now, Caleb is much
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: more physically gifted, but he should be playing like that.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Get him on the move, roll him out, use his
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: legs to continue drives. I think the next coach like
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: he is not just gonna sit in the pocket and
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: dice you up right. That's not really not saying that
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: he can, but to me, part of what Ben Johnson
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: did and listen, he had to kind of adapt. Sometimes
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: he's gotta let Caleb cook. Now, Caleb has proven to
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: be pretty durable. The dark thing a part of it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: One of the concussions came. They were running like quarterback power,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: like he's Cam Newton. I think there's a fine line.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: But he is a dual threat player and his athleticism
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: is gonna be a huge part of his game. So
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: we'll see. Obviously, there are a lot of rumors with
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: coaching potential hires. Looks like John Harbaugh probably more likely
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: to go to Miami because they're not gonna get rid
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of the GM Stefanski. I do think one thing if
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Stefanski were to get the job and implement kind of
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: his version of the Shanahan type offense, is that utilizes
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: the athleticism of the quarterback on boots on nakeds gets
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: him on the run. Obviously, the running game is gonna
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: be huge. Hopefully Scataboo can come back and be fully healthy,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: but they do have a bunch of pieces there. I
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: think he's pretty interesting prospect, that's for sure. Now, I
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: wouldn't put much stock into the stats. Their games have
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: just been meaningless for a long long time. And like
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: you said, the coaching turnover, it was hard to even
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: watch him and there'd be games where he looked bad,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and I didn't really hold that against him. So I
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: think I saw enough early on in the season when
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: they had some structure that went there's a lot to
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: work with there. There's a lot to work with there.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be the implemation, the implementation of whatever scheme
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: they do for him. If you get the wrong scheme,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: you can make players look really really bad. Look at
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Darnald like they let him move kind of like that,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: like let him use his Like look how good Donald
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: is O'Connell with Seattle, Like get him on the move.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: But I don't want him running like he's not Lamar
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: and he's not not as smart as a runner as Caleb,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: which coach you think is a good fit for the Raiders.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Hard boss to Fanski or even Tomlin, congrats on becoming
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: a father. Not quite a father yet, but I appreciate that. Technically,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: I guess are you considered one when they're still inside
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the belly. He's getting big. You can feel his head.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: It's kind of it's kind of trippy. I would say
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: the thing with the Raiders now that they can move
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: on from the Pete Carroll disaster, I mean pretty embarrassing
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: kind of ending to his career for Pete, who's alleged.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love Pete Carroll, but that that was
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: rough is part of the the regret, I'm sure of that.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Higher is like, you got to break this thing down
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: to the studs and spy Tech have this thirty thousand
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: foot view of this big picture macro version of his team.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: And he gets Pete, who's like, I win ten games
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: a year, I'm gonna win right now. It's like, no, Pete,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna win right now with this team. So
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: to me, you get a coach. One leadership is really
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: key leadership. Like to me, it's less about scheme with
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: the Raiders and get a guy who can lead the
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: problem with Pete is pe can lead people like Pete,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: but he can't. Like he's not into the rebuild. How
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: could he be seventy five years old and clearly he's
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: obsessed with having his kids on the staff, which some
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: of these articles come out are just pretty embarrassing for
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: the family. There's no way around it. And I don't
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: even put it. I put it a little on Pete,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: but also like once you get in your forties, like,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: come on, man, it's an embarrassing situation for the family name.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I think, like to me, if I'm spy tech, I'm
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: interviewing some of these guys that have gotten a shot
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: before because I want a guy that has been there
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: and done that. But like Robert Solid, to me, would
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. He's a great leader. People
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: like him. He's going to get a quarterback because they
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: have the number one overall pick. And then you got
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: some offensive guys like Matt Naggie, Arthur Smith, who again
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: failed quote unquote. Naggy went to the playoffs twice. Arthur
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Smith went seven to nine every year. But like those
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: guys have sat in the chair, I think it is
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: a tough job to just throw in a first time coaching,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: just with all the I would say the dysfunction that
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: comes along with that franchise. Now, once you start winning,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: you and get rid of it. But I think there's
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: a huge benefit. Like John Harbo's not coming there, I
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: would be very shocked unless there's some connection, like if
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was available, he would come there either. But
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I do think some of those guys who have been
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: head coaches before. I think a guy like Robert Sala
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: would make a lot of sense, I really do, and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: other guys that are. I mean, that's why they want
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Brian Flores right, He's a tough, old school leader I met. Now.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: My issue with that is, I would say I feel
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: better like Brian Flores is probably a I would put
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: him above Sala when it comes to x's and no's.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: You could argue Flora's as good as it gets in
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the NFL on defense. But I'm sorry, it's hard for
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: me to forget the situation with the offensive coaches. And
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I know people in the league that were telling me
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: stories about the way that he dealt and treated the
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: offensive coaches. I'm not even counting the two things, which
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: is public hard for me to get around. That quarterbacks
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the baby. I mean, I don't mean like the treat
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: them like a baby. I mean like they're the most
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: important part of the franchise. Without them, you're fucked, You're done,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: you have no shot. So like it's hard for me
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: to get past that point of looking back of like
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: that whole situation. And the other thing is the Patriot guys.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: They just struggle to deal with people. There's no way
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: around it. I mean, let's face it, they have all
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: gotten a ton of jobs, a lot of them multiple jobs,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and it's been a disaster because they just struggle with
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: managing up, managing down that they like try to copy Bill. Now,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: maybe he's changed working for O'Connell. But I thought Josh
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: McDaniels had changed. Turns out he didn't. They couldn't runhim
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: out of town fast enough. Congrats on the upcoming baby.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that we have a girl coming in mid
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: to late April, so trying to get ready buckle up baby.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: With funny is my wife was just talking to her
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: brother's wife and Emily, who has a little daughter who's
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: probably close to six months right now. It's just crazy
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: how big they get. And even Maria was like, you
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: know what's crazy is I've been so focused on like
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: that first month or two I haven't even thought about
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: once they get to the age, if they start crawling
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: and moving around. I can't even wrap my head around that. Okay,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: they're gonna grow fast out of all the clothes WEW.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: With Mike McDaniel getting the acts, do you think he
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: should look for another head coaching gig or step back
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: into the offensive coordinator role at a place like Detroit
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: or possibly Philly, depending on how their run goes. I
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: was just reading an article about Mike and he got
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: an extension in twenty twenty four, and that extension kicks
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: in next year. He's under contract in twenty six, in
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: twenty seven and twenty eight. Well, let's just say when
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins hired him, they gave him five or six
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year. If you're getting a contract extension,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I would guess that numbers nine or ten million dollars.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: He has owed a ton of money. And I was
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: talking to a younger assistant coach in the NFL, and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: he's like, do you know what's crazy about a lot
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: of these guys. They're not afraid to get fired anymore.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: They don't really care. The money is so massive. How
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: many human beings do you know? I'm not saying like
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: no through the internet. I'm saying no personally that have
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: just made forty or fifty million dollars, especially a lot
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: of them before they're like fifty that's you know, every
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: once in a while you might know a guy that
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: built a business and sold it, but unless you know
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: a pro athlete or something, you probably don't know many.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: And that that amount of money is changes the way
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: you think. If I had fifty million dollars in the bank,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I would still be podcasting. But it's like, eh, maybe
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: this Thursday night game, I'm not gonna do. It's I
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: don't care who you are, it's human nature. And he
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: was like he was telling me some stories about some
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: like high paid assistance that just don't give a shit.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: It don't don't even take time to deal with other
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: people if they don't like a player, It doesn't matter.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Money has im I've said it forever. This league is
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Wall Street on grass and if you get to the top,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: you become a GM hell assistant. GMS now make a
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: million bucks if you become a high paid coordinator and
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: definitely a head coach. The money's generational. I think sometimes
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the media doesn't have a great idea what generational wealth is.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: They're always like with the NBA, like can he get
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: his max contract and get generational wealth? Like, guys, he
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: just signed a four year, forty million dollar contract as
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: a rookie. I don't know where you guys come from,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: but that's that's generational wealth. Like that's where it started.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: So you start making the type of money. I think
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: it also gives you options. So if you're Mike, why
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: would you want one of these crappy head coaching jobs?
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: And the answer as well, money, Well, he doesn't need
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: it because they would it offsets, So it's not like
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: he's getting a race. He would get the same amount,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: just who pays him. So to me, like, can you
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: resurrect your career? Now? I don't know. I don't know
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: him personally. I don't know what his ambitions are, Like
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: he's dead set, like I'm gonna be a superstar head coach.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: But there are some awesome offensive coordinator jobs obviously Detroit,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I mean they got some serious weapons power. Look at
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Tampa just fired their offensive coordinator Mike Evans Godwin, the
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Bucky Irving. You know, to resurrect Baker, you get a
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: lot of credit. So I think Sala is a pretty good,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: pretty good example of a guy that was I don't
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: want to say laughed at because the Jets situation, but
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: like he wasn't gonna become a head coach immediately goes
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: the Niners. His stock comes soaring back. So my guess
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: would be, if you're gonna take the Browns job, then
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: that's on you. But and I get he's worked there
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: before with Kyle way back in the day. I would
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: personally dan Quinn. Do they dan Quinn? He's an offensive
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: court Atlanta, doesn't. I mean, there are gonna be a
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: lot of options for the guy. He would be a very,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: very in demand play caller, that's for sure. He'd be
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: pretty nasty with Bee John Robinson. What are the odds
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Garrett gets a head coaching gig? I hope he gets
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: fired so that he won't have so we want to
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: listen to him on sun An Football. I would be stunned.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: I really would. I would be stunned. I would not
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: expect him to become the head coach of the Titans,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: which I think he interviewed with, But hell, you never know.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Big fan of the pod and congrats advance on the
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: birth of the baby. Have a bone to pick with
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: your good friend Stucky on Caleb Williams the other day
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: when you were stumped by another viewer's question admittingly I'm
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: a bias Bears fan, but isn't it time to stop
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: looking at all these advanced quarterbacks metrics and evaluate the
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks with our eyes, with the p DFF stats. Stucky
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: was thrown out there for CW eighteen. You would think
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: this guy is playing like JaMarcus Russell, but when you
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: watch the games, that is very obviously not the case.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: I think using advanced analytics can get tricky when looking
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: at a single season stats due to the extremely small
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: sample size compared to a sport like baseball that heavily
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: uses advanced analytics over a larger sample size. Whatever happened
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: to the good old eye test. The one thing that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Caleb brings to the table that is undeniable is the
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: big plays. So let's say he has four shitty plays
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: or three shitty plays, an average play and again I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: don't even know what metrics you're referring to necessarily, and
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: then hits a forty yard bomb of a guy in
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: stride like there is this is the thing with the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: numbers and the numbers people in general is this is
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the thing with baseball. They don't believe that momentum pressure matters,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: that it had bat in a playoff game in the
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: eighth inning Yankee Stadium is no different than a bat
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: in June against the Twins. Like are you high on drugs?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Like telling me hitting a golf shot by yourself on
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: a Thursday afternoon, screwing around and then playing in the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: US Open is the same as a pro golfer. Of
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: course it's not. So his big playability, to me makes
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: up for a lot missing a lot of the layups.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen did that for a long time. Lamar Jackson
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: early on in the career. So I think his big
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: playability this year masked a pretty inaccurate stretch of football.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not the most accurate guy, but I
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: can live with inaccuracy if you're making big plays. I
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: can live with interceptions if you throw a lot of touchdowns.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: I know Shuck replaced him and he looks to be
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: the Saints long term quarterback. But do you think Rattler
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: could succeed elsewhere? Maybe in a Vikings offense with O'Connell.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's worse than JJ McCarthy. He's impressed
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: me in his time plan, and I think he could
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: succeed with other systems in the right place. I would
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: imagine they keep him like, I don't see why you
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want him, you know, shuck twenty five or twenty
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: six year old rookie, but like Spencer Rattler for a
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: guy anyone that watched that Netflix special a long time
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: ago when he was in high school, My first take
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: was what and my buddy Drew that hired me at
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: present State has been at Oklahoma for a decade. They
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: recruited him and they signed him, and he loved him
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: as the player coming out of high school, but the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: and sometimes hard to judge a seventeen year old as
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: you get older, but I've watched some of his interviews.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: He seems like a pretty high level cat. If I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: was the Saints, I would keep him around. Well, what's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: my rush to get rid of him? So I would
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: keep him both. This is from Josh or Joseph. Congrats
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: on the baby. My wife and I are expecting her
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: first on the nineteenth, so please share any parenting hacks.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I have none question for the back. As
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: a Bears fan, I find it crazy the Packers could
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: let Lafleur go as a head coach. I'm praying it happens.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: But what candidate would you want over him? Also, is
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: it crazy to say the Bears win two home games
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: and then Darnold gets turnover happy versus the best turnover
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: team to make the Super Bowl. This game's big. If
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: you win this game, to me, you get to free
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: up a little bit and play with house money. There's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: a ton of pressure on this game. You're two and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: four in the division. You easily could have lost to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: these guys a couple weeks ago, but the end of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: the game was crazy that all the pressures on you.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: You win this thing and beat them two out of
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: three times in the last month. I think you have
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: a ton of confidence moving forward. And let's assume Philly
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: beats the Niners like you have a lot of confidence
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: against them now going on the road to Seattle, little different,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: different animal, I would say, especially against their defense. But hell,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: if you shred Phillies defense in two weeks and the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Packers defense still solid, yeah, I would say that you
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: would have definitely have a shot to win that game
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: if you were playing Sam Darl definitely have a shot.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: It is really difficult, and this is why I think
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna take the Packers your
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: defense isn't good. No pass rush can't cover anybody. It's
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: hard to win playoff games with that. It just is
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: so part of the reason, like I'm not that high
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: on the Bears going into the playoffs because I have
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: a philosophical belief that will never change. No defense, no
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: success in big games come January or college football playoffs.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: You gotta the reasonable miss beat Georgia, you know in
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: the last round was because their defense came through. They
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: had a ton of TFLs. I think they three or
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: four x Georgia on tackles for loss. You got to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: make plays the line of scrimmage with your defensive line
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: and obviously your dbs. Now your dbs, you guys create
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of picks. But you also I'm watching the
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: game last week against the Lions, It's like Jamison Williams
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: and Saint Brown looked like Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: That's that's just gonna be a problem. I mean, I'm
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: so excited for that game. I'm probably as excited for
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: that game. That's the I think that's the most intriguing game.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: When you factor in the home field, when you factor
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: in at night, when you factor in the history that's sweet.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: I'm fired up for Bears Packers first off, wishing and
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: praying everything goes well with your baby next week. I
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate that question for the pot Who do you think
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: should be the Lions next SoC I just saw Mike McDonald.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel got fired and the Dolphins. I think he
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: should pursue heavy. Do you agree it's funny when they
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: fired Johnny Morton, It's like, well, they fired him three
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: months ago when Dan Campbell took the play calling, and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: what happens, And I think I saw this happen with
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes with the forty nine ers. The players turned
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: on him. The players go to their head coach and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: just say this is not working. And it was clear
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: that the players did not think Johnny Morton was good.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: And the problem for Johnny Morton is he was replacing
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: a guy who was elite, so they know what it
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: looks like. Why Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, they were used
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: to being around Robert Sola and Dimico Ryans and Steve
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Wilkes came in and they just nope, this ain't working,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: and you know it right away, and players, this isn't
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: a dictatorship like the nineties and the eighties in football,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: these players have a lot of juice, and once you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: got elite players making big money, they start going to
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: the head coach. Like this guy doesn't because I remember
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: it was communication. So to me, if you're Dan Campbell,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have people interested in this job, right, And
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I think if Mike is willing to be the offensive
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: course coordinator, you should be right near the top of
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: the list. So I now, would Dan want to work
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: with that guy? I mean the last two guys he's hired,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson he had known from Miami, and Johnny Morton
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: had worked with them. I think at a couple of
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: different places. So will he go outside of his spear,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: which is hard for coaches to do. Most of them don't, right.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just use Kyle Shannonan Kyle Shannon, Robert
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Sala Demiko Ryans he known him from Houston, brings Robert
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Sala back. I mean, he kind of sticks with his crew.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: He's got Kubiak now, Sean McVay, who's his defensive coordinator, Shula,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: who's his good buddy from college. We'll get Andy Reid,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: like Spags, who he's known for twenty five years, I
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: think these guys like comfort. I do wonder if how
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: bad that season went and Dan was forced essentially by
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: his own players to become the play caller. If he goes,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: I don't have a choice. I gotta hire the best
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: guy available. Now who that guy is? Know? And this
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: is here's another question. I think Mike should be interested
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: in Tampa because lifelong Bucks fan, they just fired the OC.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: Does the media still realize how insane it is that
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Baker will now have this tenth OC in ten in
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: eight years? I remember this comvo when he was in Cleveland,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: but it's gotten way worse. Eighteen Hayley fired than Freddy
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: Kitchens nineteen, munkin twenty twenty one, Stefanski van Pelt twenty two,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: McAdoo twenty two, McVeigh Cohen because he got cut, twenty
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: three Canalist Liam Cohen Grizzard. Now, who pretty wild? That's
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: that's pretty nuts. Now. Part of the reason you know
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Canal is and Liam con like you get credit. I
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: always said this about Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. If
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: you became their offensive coordinator, you got fired. They all
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: got fired. In Seattle Hall of Fame Quarterbacks there guys
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: get jobs. Baker Mayfield got guys back to back head
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: coaching jobs. Look how many guys got jobs off Aaron
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Rodgers or Drew Brees or Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: They should be the ultimate cattle pult to be in
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: the boss and making money, and there are certain places
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: you got to be careful. Now Baker has kind of been.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, part of the reason is when you're playing well,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: people come to the good teams. Patrick Mahomes, right, Josh Allen, So,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I think Baltimore ravens on defense. How many of their
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinators over the last twenty five years have been
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: head coaches? Ten? I mean, I mean seriously, I mean
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: going back to Brian Billick through John Harbaugh, their defensive
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: guys have become stars. So it's gonna be an intriguing
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: job because he's proven he can play well. I think
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: the question you would have to ask you'd call Jason
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: Light if you're interested in the job, is like, what's
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: was he injury last year? Was it just a play calling?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: What's going on here? So another thing is you get
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: to run the offense. It's not like Todd Bowles a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: defensive guy. I think he's I think that's a really
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: good offensive coordinator. Joe divisions, and it's not like the
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: Panthers are that good. The Saints still got a long
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: way to go personnel wise. Falcons don't even have a
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: coach with the coaching hires in site. The I can't
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: even read with a coaching hiring cycle in full swing.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: My question is about coordinators getting poached. Are they not
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: bound by contract? I assume they don't need to be
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: free agents like a player would. The NFL is not college.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: You can't just steal a coordinator, so like if if
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: I wanted. Part of the reason Brian Flores is so
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: talked about right now, his contract is up. But last year,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: you couldn't take Brian Flores away from the Vikings, even
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: if you were going to double his salary. Happens in
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: college all the time. Penn State took Dan Lynn, Anthony
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Lynn's son, who USC had stolen from UCLA. These guys
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: bounced around constantly, right, That's not what happens in the NFL.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: If a guy is under contract. I'm trying to think
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: of a top offensive coordinator you know that would be
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Let's use defensive coordinators easier, like I couldn't steal Robert
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: Salah or jesse Mentor to be my If I was
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys and wanted to give Robert Saler jesse Mentor
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: eight million dollars to be my defensive court, I can't
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: do it if they're under contract, so you can't poach.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: This is not the transfer portal. Okay, we'll end on this.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Bills fan Darius Slay said he'd only play for the Eagles. Yeah,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Brandon Bean picked him up and cut corner JaMarcus Ingram.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Ingram was claimed by the Texans and Slays and played
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: a game last week. McDermott let first round pick and
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: second best corner Max Harrison in the game while thirty
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: against the Jets. Harriston got hurt with nine minutes left
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: in the fourth and will miss most of the playoffs.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: The Bills now have his secondary issue thanks to their
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: coach NGM. You've spoken on Bean, but what makes you
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: think McDermott is a good coach. This is the same
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: guy who ran a fake punt in the playoffs against
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs with DeMar Hamlin, who technically died months earlier.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: He's not a motivator and his defense sucks in the playoffs.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Average coaches can make the playoffs with Josh Allen, but
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: good ones win super Bowls. That's a hypothetical that we
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: don't know the answer to. I think, you know, he's
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl level quarterback, but you got to do it.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: To be a super Bowl winner, you gotta win it.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: So if we lose before the championship game, both the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: GM and coach should be canned. Agreed. I gotta see
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: how it looks. You're acting like Sean mcdermot's like Freddy Kitchens.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I think he's been pretty damn good. You know what's
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: his record this year? He's ninety eight and fifty. In
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: his career, he's seven and seven in the playoffs. I
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: think five of those losses are the Chiefs. I mean,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: let's just I know Josh Allen plays a huge part
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: in it, but in this decade he's thirteen and three,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: eleven and six, thirteen and three, eleven and six, thirteen
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: and four, twelve and five. Now, the slay personnel move
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: is an embarrassment. You can't cut a guy who is
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: then gonna be claimed by a playoff team to take
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: a guy that's not gonna play. You've got to have
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: that information and that to me, whoever someone's responsible for that.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: Someone pounded the table. Darius Slay's an upgrade, he'll help
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: us out. That's embarrassing. I don't know who that's on.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: I think McDermott gets somewhat of a bad rap. I
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: think he's been pretty good. Now there's this Jags game
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: would be one of his biggest playoff wins. I know
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: he's technically favored, but they're playing as well as anyone
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: in football. He's on the road. Most people, like you
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: think the team's not that good. I'm with you. If
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: you're gonna fire McDermott, the GM has to go because
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: there's no way you could say the GM has been
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: better than the coach. This is one of those situations.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't happen that often. Why because these owners
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: get close to the gyms, like how does Davill get
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: fired and Joe Shane survive? Right? And who knows that
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: could end up costing them. John Harbaugh because he wants
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: his own GM, and they're not gonna fire Joe Shane
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: a part of that, right. The owner's sick, So it
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: makes situation a little more complicated. But yeah, I mean,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: I listen I'm biased. I've known Sean since I worked
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: for Philly. He's always been cool to me when I
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: see him at the Combine. He's come on this podcast before.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: I think like twenty twenty two. He just came over
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: and came on. He's always been I like it personally,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: but it's a results oriented business. The pressure gets amplified
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: when you have you know, let's face it, John Harbaugh
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: got fired because he couldn't win Super Bowl or get
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. Lamar Jackson, Sean McDermott, if he
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: gets fired, it will because he couldn't get to the
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: super Bowl with Josh Allen. So with a great player,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: it almost becomes like an NBA situation, like if I
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: give you Yokich, if I give you Luca, the pressure
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: on you gets turned up tenfold. That's why I said
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: the other day about the Ravens, it's an incredible job. Organization,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: the structure, how will they just operate? The owner It's
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: also a pressure pack job. Part of the reason John
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: kept it for so long is one of the playoffs
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: a lot you know, I mean, was was just the
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: one seed a couple of years ago. You can't just like, oh,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: a couple nine and eight years like that shit, it's
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: not gonna fly. You will get fired. And I think
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: with the Bills, yeah, I guess I could see them
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: firing him if they're one and done. But my question
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: you would be who would they hire? Would John Harball
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: just take that job? Maybe you would Mike Tomlin? Would
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: they want a guy like that? Now? I would say, like,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: he's been beating those guys. Literally, he's been beating those guys,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna fire just because they've won a super
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Bowl a long time ago. That's the thing with Sean.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Sean played John Harball last year in the playoffs second round.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would argue Baltimore had the better team.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Sean won. Didn He played Mike Tomlin a couple years
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: ago in the playoffs, Curb stomped him. So it's like,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: those are the type guys cause you're not gonna just
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: be like, let's hire click Koobiac. You know you cannot
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: risk that, So you would need if you're gonna this
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: thing with same I would say the same thing with
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Lamar and the Ravens. The risk they took with John
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: Harball a long time, I don't think they can make
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: right now. They need a guy that unless mentor who's
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: been in their building they know. But I think it'd
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: be difficult to hire a first time coordinator. Excuse me,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: a first time head coach coming from a coordinator pretty risky.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: So I think Sean's proven to be pretty good, pretty
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: good now relative to his scheme and personnel to me
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: that the GM has not done a great job now.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: He's actively involved in that, clearly, But I just don't
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: necessarily agree with the way they've built their team. I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: was talking to a scouting buddy who's advanced them. He's like,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: they're just kind of small. They look small on TV,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: but they have the trump card in Josh, who bails
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: them out a lot. I mean, the key on Coleman
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: thing how many times he been inactive. I wasn't really
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: paying attention because that game was a joke. I didn't
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: realize Harrison was in the game at the end and
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: got injured. But I also think it's football those things.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I think we can nitpick
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: that stuff a little, and I'm guilty too, but I
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: think we act like sometimes Sean McDermott is like everyone's
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: given Kevin Stefanski getting on their knees and be like,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: oh my god, Kevin Stefanski. It's like Kevin Stefanski would
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: sell his left leg to have the resume of Sean McDermott.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, would give anything Kevin Stefanski. This year led
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I think statistically one of the top ten worst offenses
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: of like the last thirty years. I think I heard
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: someone say it looked even worse. So I don't know.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, Bills have won a lot of games. They have,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, that's your job.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: Your job is not to draft, is not free agency,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: it's not the higher coach. It's just to win and loose.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: And when you win all that stuff like Tartet nitpick,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: when you lose, will attack the hell out of your
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: draft strategy or free agency strategy. Who you're hiring. If
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: you're winning twelve thirteen games a year and find yourself
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: in the championship game, a lot like what am I
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: gonna say you suck? I can't because you don't Audios.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: The volume
