- 2:38Speaker 4: Ready to celebrate and bask in the glow of the
- 2:42Speaker 4: penultimate weekend in the National Football League championship weekend. Welcome
- 2:47Speaker 4: into the huddle, Andrew Wilson joined by Bill Schmid, armand
- 2:50Speaker 4: Sorry on this Muddle through It Monday.
- 2:53Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I love Muddle through It Monday. Phenomenally with the huddle. Yeah,
- 2:57Speaker 2: now that's what we're talking. And a muddle huddle is
- 2:58Speaker 2: just the quick one and be a little two minute drill,
- 3:01Speaker 2: which we saw a lot of in the second half
- 3:03Speaker 2: last night. Phenomenal close to championships Sunday to really compelling
- 3:08Speaker 2: games and uh yeah, basking the globe. But this is
- 3:12Speaker 2: I felt it right in the middle of the fourth quarter, Drew.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Where I'll watch most of the Super Bowl in in
- 3:18Speaker 2: this real sad.
- 3:19Speaker 4: State of appreciation.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It's been such a good meal. Just smile since it happened.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Don't cry because it's over. But I I did start
- 3:31Speaker 2: to struggle with it yesterday realizing that we're only gonna
- 3:34Speaker 2: have one more game of American tackle football for the
- 3:38Speaker 2: next six months, and it's this cold, it's gonna be
- 3:41Speaker 2: a cold, cold winter, especially we got to watch this
- 3:44Speaker 2: Bucks team without Giannis apparently now for the next month
- 3:46Speaker 2: and a half. Goodness, gracious, goodness, gracious. And then I
- 3:50Speaker 2: thought we were gonna get warmed up at the col
- 3:51Speaker 2: Center yesterday apparently not into the late second half, so
- 3:55Speaker 2: Drew Brett close up and lock up that it's getting
- 4:01Speaker 2: frigid here and it is a muddle through the week.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Start to yeah, let's get after it. But I UH,
- 4:06Speaker 4: on the uplifting side, Packers have a defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon,
- 4:11Speaker 4: and I, well, you can make it to the uh.
- 4:16Speaker 4: You can make it to the NFC Championship game with
- 4:18Speaker 4: secondary and special teams problems the way the Rams did.
- 4:21Speaker 4: But then those problems might just trip you up, as
- 4:24Speaker 4: they did yesterday in Seattle. That fumble like muff stumble,
- 4:28Speaker 4: which was the second muff fumble. The first one fell
- 4:30Speaker 4: on and they fired the special teams corner in mid season.
- 4:35Speaker 4: They couldn't couldn't fix it. Yeah, and that's the difference
- 4:38Speaker 4: in the game. Plus, it's gonna be a big day
- 4:40Speaker 4: and we're gonna get to game balls and kicks the balls,
- 4:42Speaker 4: So it's could be a big day for to take
- 4:43Speaker 4: the points crowd big time.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And Sean Payton was eating it a little bit yesterday
- 4:48Speaker 2: and trying to explain himself out of a paper bag
- 4:50Speaker 2: in the first game. In the second game, you mentioned
- 4:53Speaker 2: it with something that plagued the Rams all year long.
- 4:58Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's necessarily a tough morning
- 5:01Speaker 2: for the fire of the coach. Always things get better, crowd,
- 5:04Speaker 2: because I don't necessarily know anybody fully believes that. They
- 5:07Speaker 2: just want to see some change at the point in
- 5:10Speaker 2: time during the season. After the season, you make all
- 5:13Speaker 2: the changes he want. I always think during the season,
- 5:15Speaker 2: you just leave somebody out on an island. Now, Xavier
- 5:17Speaker 2: Smith put himself on that island. That was a fool
- 5:19Speaker 2: me one. Shame on you, You fool me twice, Shame
- 5:22Speaker 2: on me. Situation. You could hear McVeigh in the post
- 5:24Speaker 2: game feeling that moment where he's been so good for
- 5:28Speaker 2: us all year long. But I watched that first one
- 5:30Speaker 2: and we were lucky to get back onto it. In
- 5:32Speaker 2: the second one, he goes, yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
- 5:34Speaker 4: I was costly. Yeah it was. It was costly. It
- 5:37Speaker 4: was kind of an issue.
- 5:38Speaker 2: The next play they're into the end zone and the
- 5:40Speaker 2: Rams were trying to get back onto it.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Al nine long Now Seattle. They advanced to the fourth
- 5:45Speaker 4: Super Bowl in team history. Tip of the cap. A
- 5:48Speaker 4: great job, great reclamation there by their coach and their
- 5:51Speaker 4: general manager.
- 5:52Speaker 3: To the GM.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I mean both GMS now and the Super Bowl have
- 5:56Speaker 4: Packers ties. You get to John Schneider. YEA yeah, good point,
- 5:59Speaker 4: and both guys that fans. It's the old T. J.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Watt thing. Why didn't we pick those guys instead of
- 6:07Speaker 4: Goody there in the Super Bowl? Well, all right, the
- 6:10Speaker 4: Wolf the wolf.
- 6:11Speaker 2: One is is the closest possibility, right because Schneider was
- 6:14Speaker 2: so far gone and everybody always wanted to feel like
- 6:19Speaker 2: there would be a rumbling like maybe he'd be the
- 6:20Speaker 2: president of Packers.
- 6:22Speaker 4: There was talk about that that he could come back
- 6:24Speaker 4: and do that job, and someday maybe he will, maybe
- 6:26Speaker 4: someday that will be his retirement job. It might be
- 6:28Speaker 4: a good one because John Schneider yesterday McCarthy went to
- 6:31Speaker 4: his hometown and fulfill the dream. Like then punch that
- 6:34Speaker 4: close out that football life chapter there.
- 6:36Speaker 2: John Schneider yesterday became the first general manager in NFL
- 6:38Speaker 2: history to reach multiple Super Bowls with the same organization
- 6:41Speaker 2: while having a new head coach and no players from
- 6:44Speaker 2: the previous super Bowl team on it.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Wow.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I mean, that is an incredible build of the roster.
- 6:49Speaker 2: And and you mentioned it. There's a lot of people
- 6:52Speaker 2: that will be looking at it from Green Bay side
- 6:54Speaker 2: saying why couldn't we do that?
- 6:54Speaker 4: Why couldn't we have those guys?
- 6:56Speaker 2: Also think about the three last three standing coaches. When
- 7:03Speaker 2: you think of Kurt Signetti as well, into the championship
- 7:06Speaker 2: of the college ranks, second year guy flips an entire operation,
- 7:09Speaker 2: Mike McDonald second year guy in Seattle, Mike Vrabel first
- 7:12Speaker 2: year guy. It is a This one is tough for
- 7:15Speaker 2: the continuity crowd, which I was, which we were standing
- 7:19Speaker 2: with when you see now complete flips. They were four
- 7:22Speaker 2: and thirteen in New England, go to thirteen and four
- 7:25Speaker 2: and now they have an MVP perennial candidate in the
- 7:29Speaker 2: second year.
- 7:29Speaker 4: But it is a it's a.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Reason to believe that you can change things around quite
- 7:35Speaker 2: quickly and none different for a career like so, I.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Would also say that to the continuity crowd, there's got
- 7:40Speaker 4: to be a beginning. And I think all three of
- 7:42Speaker 4: those guys could be in the job for ten years.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. Man, you know, if they want
- 7:47Speaker 2: to be, If they want to be, they all could be.
- 7:49Speaker 2: And I think they all would have opportunities to go
- 7:52Speaker 2: somewhere else. But I mean, hey, I'm excited for Mike
- 7:54Speaker 2: McDonald and his son to celebrate this win.
- 7:56Speaker 4: For that thirty minutes they got crowbart in. Did you
- 7:58Speaker 4: guys see that yesterday?
- 8:00Speaker 2: He's like, you know, Thursday, I get out of here
- 8:02Speaker 2: early is sixty minutes conversation. You see Jack for about
- 8:04Speaker 2: half hour and then I go, said, there I go.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Then I go said, So, I'm excited for them to
- 8:08Speaker 2: celebrate this one on Thursday. It's gonna be a great moment.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Minute got a text from our pal. You can text
- 8:12Speaker 4: the program anytime you want, Nicolay lottoc Co. I'm talking
- 8:15Speaker 4: text on eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety
- 8:17Speaker 4: seven three, Andrew Ludwig hit me.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Up last night.
- 8:19Speaker 4: Oh, let's go. This super Bowl is the most who
- 8:24Speaker 4: the bleep picked these teams since the ninety nine two
- 8:27Speaker 4: thousand season. Luddy with a full on millennial Right there,
- 8:30Speaker 4: Rams Titans? Right, thing happened? Yeah, the Rams were four
- 8:33Speaker 4: and twelve and Warner had eleven attempts in ninety eight,
- 8:36Speaker 4: backing up Tony Banks and Steve Bono, and the Titans
- 8:39Speaker 4: were eight and eight and we're called the Tennessee Oilers
- 8:41Speaker 4: and played in a crappy se seat to stadiums in
- 8:44Speaker 4: nineteen ninety.
- 8:45Speaker 9: That was kind of a surprise, one of the more
- 8:46Speaker 9: exciting super Bowls when we didn't have any for a
- 8:49Speaker 9: long long time, well until thirty two. I guess it
- 8:51Speaker 9: would count before that. But a one yard you know,
- 8:54Speaker 9: one yard away super Bowl. So that's a good point.
- 8:56Speaker 9: Always electric whinning. Get the text from Luddy me as
- 9:00Speaker 9: an elder millennial, So I like that.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Letty hit me up, knowing that I was already in bed.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Of course, of course he was a couple of beers deep.
- 9:07Speaker 4: That's the way we like it, all right. So today
- 9:09Speaker 4: on the program, we've got game balls and kicks to
- 9:11Speaker 4: the balls holstered up. We're going to talk a lot
- 9:13Speaker 4: about football. We're going to talk a lot about Mike
- 9:15Speaker 4: McCarthy in that situation, talk about Jonathan Gannon, what's he
- 9:18Speaker 4: bringing to the party, and this one, the timing of
- 9:21Speaker 4: it and the machinations of it as it broke Saturday afternoon, Right?
- 9:25Speaker 4: Was Saturday afternoon, wasn't it that we foun out about
- 9:27Speaker 4: John again Sunday morning?
- 9:29Speaker 2: Just a Sunday morning, right, because we were still speculating
- 9:31Speaker 2: that it might be Jim Leonard on Saturday when we
- 9:33Speaker 2: were doing speculation.
- 9:34Speaker 4: But then I started to hear the drums beating that
- 9:36Speaker 4: Leonard already had a deal to join Harbaugh in New
- 9:38Speaker 4: York and that like the it's not like, oh the
- 9:41Speaker 4: Packers didn't even try to talk to Jim Leonard. Oh,
- 9:43Speaker 4: I'm sure they tried. I think they did.
- 9:45Speaker 2: I think there was a lot of conversations and when
- 9:48Speaker 2: you also, let's go back a couple of weeks.
- 9:51Speaker 4: I believe Ricky Scoops.
- 9:54Speaker 2: It was first on it with Micah Parsons coming to
- 9:57Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. I think he was first on it
- 9:59Speaker 2: to say there might be a bad in New York
- 10:01Speaker 2: and that might be the Badger We might be talking
- 10:03Speaker 2: about here coming up in a couple of days, But
- 10:06Speaker 2: I think that the Leonard piece is it's obviously tantalizing
- 10:11Speaker 2: because the name means so much in the state, and
- 10:13Speaker 2: it's always going to mean a lot to Badgers fans.
- 10:16Speaker 4: I think it could very.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Much mean a lot of NFL fans because of what
- 10:19Speaker 2: he's done in Denver and their players have been phenomenal
- 10:23Speaker 2: that they've been able to bring in there. I'm excited, though,
- 10:26Speaker 2: to see what a Jonathan Gannon led defense does here.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Who had seventy sacks in Philadelphia the last time he
- 10:33Speaker 2: called defense, and their best pass rushers best pass rusher
- 10:38Speaker 2: was Josh Sweat, no disrespect to him and his family.
- 10:42Speaker 2: To Michael Parsons, not even close. That might be a
- 10:44Speaker 2: little bit better than Shaun Garry. Maybe we figure out
- 10:47Speaker 2: that kind of situation. But I'm excited to see with
- 10:50Speaker 2: these ingredients what this soup is on the defensive side
- 10:53Speaker 2: for the Packers. And you mentioned Leonard's outside possibilities and
- 10:57Speaker 2: other opportunities. It seemed like Gannon had to kind of
- 11:00Speaker 2: put the hammer down and say, I got three different opportunities,
- 11:04Speaker 2: I need to pick one.
- 11:05Speaker 4: I want this one, but do I have this one
- 11:07Speaker 4: right now? The Eagles wanted him back, yes, so that
- 11:10Speaker 4: was yeah, they're still trying to find either side of
- 11:12Speaker 4: the ballp yep, absolutely all right. So yeah, we'll talk
- 11:15Speaker 4: a lot about defense today. And as it happens, when
- 11:17Speaker 4: we were at Metro Market in Sharwood on Saturday, shout
- 11:20Speaker 4: out to our friends at Metro Market. So you guys
- 11:23Speaker 4: look like at it a great time. Emily and Jackson

- 14:31Speaker 7: the register and round up heroes would help people who
- 14:35Speaker 7: they don't know. Anybody can help your family and friends,

- 14:43Speaker 7: that what makes you feel amazing. So thank you for
- 14:46Speaker 7: having him on because we had uh some down in
- 14:49Speaker 7: Illinois at Mariano's and we raised a lot of money
- 14:53Speaker 7: for his foundation.
- 14:55Speaker 2: So it's incredible about the you mentioned it. You you
- 14:58Speaker 2: being able to help somebody.
- 14:59Speaker 1: You don't know.
- 15:00Speaker 2: You don't know if one is the best feeling, right,
- 15:03Speaker 2: and it's You're okay to feel a good feeling when
- 15:06Speaker 2: you give back.
- 15:07Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why you do it.
- 15:08Speaker 2: But it also leroy in like November December, everybody's thinking
- 15:13Speaker 2: about giving back. Everyone's got a little extra change. Everybody's
- 15:15Speaker 2: thinking about it. Now into January February, the new year,
- 15:20Speaker 2: budgets start becoming a little bit more daunte. And to
- 15:23Speaker 2: be able to find just a small amount to give back,
- 15:26Speaker 2: it means so much because uh inflation continues to role.
- 15:29Speaker 1: And however much money you guys are donating. We talked
- 15:31Speaker 1: about it with Curtis.
- 15:32Speaker 2: You know, the the million dollars in totality, the one
- 15:36Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two twenty seven thousand defeating America here
- 15:39Speaker 2: in eastern Wisconsin.
- 15:40Speaker 1: It goes quick because he's young.
- 15:41Speaker 3: He's young.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Kids.
- 15:42Speaker 2: They might not look all like me, but I got
- 15:44Speaker 2: a three year old that looks kind of like me.
- 15:46Speaker 2: He eats a ton, so I know it. The grocery
- 15:48Speaker 2: bills continue to climb.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Break in there. You have two kids, by the way.
- 15:51Speaker 1: That fair.
- 15:54Speaker 3: But we're not on the radio. His wife won't hear it. Now,
- 15:58Speaker 3: that's how content is stay.
- 16:00Speaker 7: But the thing about it is when you I like
- 16:04Speaker 7: rounding up at the register because there's no pressure. No
- 16:07Speaker 7: one's around, no one's calling you, no one's texting you
- 16:10Speaker 7: asking you. You can just do it your control, and
- 16:13Speaker 7: that's a good thing about it. And because the first
- 16:16Speaker 7: thing you know, you think about is you know, economically,
- 16:21Speaker 7: how much can I afford it?
- 16:24Speaker 3: Four cent, eight cent ninety two whatever?
- 16:27Speaker 7: Rounding up? You did your part. So when you leave here, yes,
- 16:31Speaker 7: two things can be true. I did my part, and
- 16:33Speaker 7: I'm still pissed at the packers lost. See, you don't
- 16:37Speaker 7: have to pick when you don't have to, you don't
- 16:38Speaker 7: have to pick. You know, you couldn't go back and say,
- 16:41Speaker 7: I'm gonna round up a whole dollar. It'll make me
- 16:43Speaker 7: feel good about but the packers still lost.
- 16:47Speaker 2: But now the thing you can then also get somebody
- 16:51Speaker 2: a block of cheese. Because your statement to Kay Adams
- 16:54Speaker 2: armand sorry, and our producer, I think he was trying
- 16:57Speaker 2: to put it on T shirts.
- 16:58Speaker 1: It was maybe his favorite thing ever said.
- 17:00Speaker 2: You know, you can grade it, but it's still cheats,
- 17:02Speaker 2: it's still cheeses, still delicious, and you can use it
- 17:04Speaker 2: in a bunch of different ways.
- 17:05Speaker 1: An executive chef hunt, I got a bunch of ways in.
- 17:07Speaker 2: A book that you might be able to use it
- 17:09Speaker 2: because I think there's a lot of Cheese graders that
- 17:11Speaker 2: are not going to be used and weren't used this
- 17:13Speaker 2: Conference Championship weekend because they did still catch an l
- 17:16Speaker 2: to Matthew Stafford and the Rams. I don't know that
- 17:19Speaker 2: I've hate watched the game Leroy quite like that in
- 17:21Speaker 2: a long time.
- 17:22Speaker 7: See here's the thing about UH, and this a therapy
- 17:25Speaker 7: part of it, seeking me and Drew's age.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Not you y'all young people.
- 17:30Speaker 7: See when you're when you The thing about it is,
- 17:35Speaker 7: I understand what the mentality uh playing the Bear at
- 17:40Speaker 7: the emotional part, you have sixteen to six three minutes
- 17:43Speaker 7: to go, you just expecting to win. I expect when
- 17:46Speaker 7: you're up three and a half time you expected to win.
- 17:50Speaker 7: Then you think about it. Is that Meliflor who I
- 17:56Speaker 7: agree with bringing him back, but it's an asterisk to it.
- 17:59Speaker 7: Not think he understands it. That's why I like him.
- 18:02Speaker 7: That you got to figure out a way to know
- 18:06Speaker 7: who you're playing against. You're not playing the Bears, You're
- 18:10Speaker 7: playing Ben Johnson. See that the emotional part of it.
- 18:16Speaker 7: You have to coach games and you have to manage games.
- 18:20Speaker 7: I'll give you the difference we had a guy named
- 18:22Speaker 7: Jim Lann on our team. He coached with the linebackers.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Jim Lynn.
- 18:26Speaker 7: Probably if he hears his interview, like why is Leroy
- 18:28Speaker 7: bringing the name of very instrumental because Jim Jim Lann
- 18:32Speaker 7: would come in and say, you know what, we need
- 18:33Speaker 7: them to point three times we win.
- 18:36Speaker 3: He'll go over to the other side. I need you
- 18:38Speaker 3: to get.
- 18:39Speaker 7: Three first downs. I need He'll go over to the kicker,
- 18:43Speaker 7: Chris Jack. You can't miss no extra points and if
- 18:46Speaker 7: you get a feel, one person doesn't lose it for you,
- 18:52Speaker 7: but one person can win it for you if you
- 18:56Speaker 7: make one of those three kicks, if you get two
- 18:59Speaker 7: first else here there.
- 19:03Speaker 3: You have to manage the games. Yes, you have to coach.
- 19:08Speaker 7: But what made hone him the best because he was
- 19:11Speaker 7: managing games because Jim Lynn kept me focused. Oh, I
- 19:15Speaker 7: gotta them punting. Yes, Chicago never punted. They punted one time,
- 19:20Speaker 7: you win the game. So what he was doing was
- 19:23Speaker 7: giving us the therapy to say, no, I know it's
- 19:25Speaker 7: a big game, but we need to concentrate on who
- 19:29Speaker 7: this opponent is. Because that was like the super Bowl
- 19:32Speaker 7: for them. So my thing is moving forward. We did
- 19:37Speaker 7: real quick. We did a deep dive on Detroit the
- 19:40Speaker 7: last two years because they were beating everybody.
- 19:43Speaker 3: You swept them this year.
- 19:46Speaker 7: Now you gotta go back and do a reset, do
- 19:49Speaker 7: a deep dive on Chicago.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Caleb, keep him in the pocket.
- 19:54Speaker 7: Caleb's gonna throw three or four amazing, gonna throw you
- 19:58Speaker 7: when you gotta catch it.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Got to catch it.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Then when it's fourth and eight and you're gonna lose
- 20:02Speaker 2: thirty one yards of field position, maybe we don't catch that.
- 20:05Speaker 10: One fact.
- 20:08Speaker 7: That's the different. So that's the difference having i mean,
- 20:13Speaker 7: youngest team in the league. Yeah, yeah, and the older
- 20:16Speaker 7: veteran not that thing. Now you get it back there
- 20:18Speaker 7: field position. That's why Jim Lynn was very instrumental on
- 20:22Speaker 7: our staff because he was managing and he kept home run,
- 20:27Speaker 7: kept him on task just to win the game.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:30Speaker 10: All right, So here's a mindset.
- 20:31Speaker 4: This is a little flip because usually in Green Bay
- 20:33Speaker 4: it's Super Bowl er bust. Right, why not just state
- 20:36Speaker 4: it and go after it and make it win in
- 20:39Speaker 4: the division. It's our first goal and make that your
- 20:41Speaker 4: obsession and talk about that throughout the season.
- 20:44Speaker 10: Winning the damn because it is the first goal.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Right.
- 20:46Speaker 10: But it's almost like we've gotten to a point where
- 20:47Speaker 10: it's like a division.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Yeah, you got bigger plans than that, but that's you
- 20:51Speaker 4: got to get that granular, don't you, Because like you've been,
- 20:54Speaker 4: you've been on top for so long that here the
- 20:57Speaker 4: teams come to Bears have suck for thirty years, the
- 20:59Speaker 4: Lions sucked for thirty years. Fans are wearing bags the games,
- 21:01Speaker 4: the grocery bags from you know, metro market, getting the
- 21:04Speaker 4: paper bag and wearings to the game. But they had
- 21:07Speaker 4: that anger, and it almost seems like and when you played,
- 21:10Speaker 4: you guys didn't fall into that playing not to lose thing.
- 21:12Speaker 4: You wanted to annihilate people. You wanted to have that
- 21:14Speaker 4: killer instinct. How do you get that when it's not there?
- 21:17Speaker 4: Like it's people say, it's a culture thing.
- 21:19Speaker 10: People in Green Bay. Yeah, the division. We're worried about
- 21:23Speaker 10: the super Bowl.
- 21:23Speaker 4: No, the division comes first, right and beat the teams
- 21:26Speaker 4: like Chicago.
- 21:27Speaker 10: I would make that the manto it's beat Chicago.
- 21:30Speaker 3: But two days can be true.
- 21:33Speaker 7: You don't have to win the division to win the
- 21:35Speaker 7: super Bowl, because they did it in twenty ten.
- 21:38Speaker 3: But to your point, Drew, you have to win the
- 21:41Speaker 3: division to get the home game.
- 21:43Speaker 10: And that makes it easier.
- 21:45Speaker 3: So you're not on the road. So that that is when.
- 21:50Speaker 7: You have said to yourselfself, we were supposed to be
- 21:54Speaker 7: the team that when Detroit comes crumbling back down, we're
- 21:58Speaker 7: supposed to go to the top. But Chicago did. What
- 22:01Speaker 7: Chicago did is a deep dive of a documentary. Really
- 22:04Speaker 7: they went from worse to first. So you can admire that.
- 22:08Speaker 7: But if you've beaten the first team and you win
- 22:12Speaker 7: that division, because I remember Mike Sherman was my favorite coaches,
- 22:16Speaker 7: he used to say that we gotta win the division
- 22:19Speaker 7: and he won a lot of divisions, didn't win the
- 22:21Speaker 7: super Bowl.
- 22:22Speaker 3: But don't put the car before the horse. But you
- 22:25Speaker 3: still have to travel. So we want to dominate the North.
- 22:31Speaker 7: And now people say, you know what division leaders, you
- 22:35Speaker 7: get that home game, you get that. So to your
- 22:39Speaker 7: point that that can be a reset. Part of I'm big.
- 22:43Speaker 3: On messaging, and the messaging is control the North.
- 22:48Speaker 10: Control the North.
- 22:49Speaker 7: Be here, control the North, and you can beat anybody anywhere.
- 22:54Speaker 7: But it's just something about winning is contagious. The shoul's
- 22:59Speaker 7: losing because you lost five straight.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Well that's the part of it.
- 23:02Speaker 2: And that was where where because you you said it
- 23:04Speaker 2: and I thought, listen, you say a lot of really
- 23:06Speaker 2: really smart things and the reason why it's profo ballgy. Yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 2: I love, but when you say it comes with an
- 23:12Speaker 2: astrosk of bringing him back, because I was in the
- 23:14Speaker 2: same boat Monday morning him Monday morning, Matt Lafour after
- 23:18Speaker 2: the twenty one to three uh blown lead at halftime.
- 23:21Speaker 1: I came in on Monday morning. I'm like, I don't
- 23:24Speaker 1: know how you to come back from it.
- 23:25Speaker 2: That's essentially three times they lost the Seattle game in
- 23:29Speaker 2: a year, right, Like the Browns game is ten plus
- 23:32Speaker 2: points in the final five minutes.
- 23:33Speaker 1: You mentioned sixteen six what have you.
- 23:36Speaker 2: But you do have to survey the land, like you
- 23:38Speaker 2: do have to look at what else is there? And
- 23:41Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna say it's you know, Arman, sorry,
- 23:43Speaker 2: And when he was prom king at Greenfield High saying,
- 23:45Speaker 2: now I can reassess and figure out, you know who
- 23:47Speaker 2: I'm going to start choosing for hopecoming. But you do
- 23:50Speaker 2: have to know, like you got a probably top ten
- 23:53Speaker 2: play caller and a guy that has.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Developed with your quarterback.
- 23:56Speaker 2: That's why it felt like it was the right decision
- 23:59Speaker 2: to me, even though you know you're gonna have some change.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Do you think you can get better at the stuff
- 24:04Speaker 2: that you just mentioned or is that something like a
- 24:06Speaker 2: lot of guys are only better at it when they
- 24:08Speaker 2: get their next opportunity and they take a couple of
- 24:10Speaker 2: years off doing it.
- 24:11Speaker 7: That's a good question because you have to think of
- 24:14Speaker 7: it this way. Matt Lafleur, it's unfinished business, cause we
- 24:21Speaker 7: can think about all when you had Aaron Rodgers, you
- 24:23Speaker 7: went to the championship game, you had some crushing losses.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Like two totally different jobs.
- 24:27Speaker 3: Yes, but we also have to think about that.
- 24:31Speaker 7: I don't want to do a reset this further in
- 24:34Speaker 7: Jordan's career and Michael Parsons. I want to keep them
- 24:39Speaker 7: with Matt for the next five years. Russ Ball and
- 24:43Speaker 7: Guda Cunts keep the band together because that's why I
- 24:49Speaker 7: really it's hard to be in a band of band's
- 24:50Speaker 7: break up.
- 24:51Speaker 3: I want to be in an orchestra. You never know
- 24:54Speaker 3: who the guy is on the triangle.
- 24:55Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't know the guys that are doing the
- 24:57Speaker 7: big drums down front, but they are all sound good
- 25:00Speaker 7: is one sound. So to remove Matt, we've become a
- 25:05Speaker 7: band now. Now I got to find another lead singer.
- 25:08Speaker 7: You know I love Journey, Right.
- 25:09Speaker 1: That's a T shirt.
- 25:11Speaker 3: They that guy sound he's not Steve and making money.
- 25:19Speaker 7: So you have to think about staying together like an orchestra.
- 25:23Speaker 7: Keep it together because the emotions of and here's the
- 25:26Speaker 7: wildlife Matt l of Floyd, he's okay with people saying.
- 25:30Speaker 3: That he's not upset.
- 25:32Speaker 7: He understands that he nobody's more pissed than him, guarantee
- 25:36Speaker 7: you because of the opponent.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Oh but Bell Roy, he only says it all starts
- 25:42Speaker 2: with me because Drew and I do. In the post game,
- 25:44Speaker 2: we hear the same thing, and people were mad because
- 25:46Speaker 2: this guy doesn't even care. You know, he doesn't say
- 25:49Speaker 2: the same thing, right that Those are the comedy refrains.
- 25:53Speaker 7: But here's the thing, and Billy, you you a player.
- 25:57Speaker 7: We don't think like the public.
- 25:59Speaker 3: We can't. We can't think of emotions like that.
- 26:02Speaker 7: You gotta calm down because everything you're about to say
- 26:07Speaker 7: goes to your.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Locker room total.
- 26:09Speaker 7: You just can't go in there and be Bobby Knight all, oh,
- 26:12Speaker 7: you can't do that. And even the stuff that Ben
- 26:17Speaker 7: Johnson was saying to his team because they lost a
- 26:19Speaker 7: couple of games going into the world emotionally. You have
- 26:23Speaker 7: to help your guys to say, we gotta figure out
- 26:25Speaker 7: a way together to the feeling that you have, they
- 26:29Speaker 7: won't happen anymore. And that's why home Room was the best.
- 26:33Speaker 7: There's two coaches that's well, actually it's two play callers
- 26:37Speaker 7: that I love and.
- 26:40Speaker 3: That are paramount in my mind. And Mike Homroom was.
- 26:45Speaker 7: The best play caller to me because I saw what
- 26:48Speaker 7: he did and John Gruden. John Gruden and me knew
- 26:53Speaker 7: more about Xcell and OS than Webster. Okay, this guy
- 26:57Speaker 7: studied this. Every play is not going to work. I'm
- 27:03Speaker 7: only going to concentrate on the ones that work. I said, well,
- 27:06Speaker 7: how do you do that when you only got twenty
- 27:10Speaker 7: five seconds? He said, I already know what's going on.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I already know what's going on.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Man me.
- 27:17Speaker 7: So when I used to drive by twelve sixty five
- 27:19Speaker 7: on my way to the Thario's, that's a club, I said,
- 27:23Speaker 7: whose light is that? Is that somebody like cleaning up
- 27:28Speaker 7: cleaning crew. No, that's coaches working. So I respect coaches.
- 27:33Speaker 7: And when you play call, you said to yourself, they
- 27:38Speaker 7: get paid too. But I also give people space to
- 27:44Speaker 7: feel negative about what they just saw. So That's why
- 27:49Speaker 7: Lafleur came back, and that's why I think allegedly that
- 27:54Speaker 7: he was signed first before Guda cunts and before US
- 27:58Speaker 7: ball because they want to say, do we go back
- 27:59Speaker 7: to the old guard, to where policy steps back? Okay, goot,
- 28:06Speaker 7: sign you first. It's your show. Like Bob Harlan, who
- 28:09Speaker 7: the Goat, said to Ron Wolf, if you want to
- 28:13Speaker 7: go get a third string quarterback from Atlanta the first
- 28:15Speaker 7: round pick, do it.
- 28:16Speaker 3: I don't got nothing to do it. I'm gonna just run.
- 28:18Speaker 7: This stuff, or we get the lease of the stadium
- 28:20Speaker 7: and all the business part, I'll do this stuffs right
- 28:23Speaker 7: when they.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Said we're gonna keep it, Murphy had it. Okay, that's
- 28:27Speaker 3: what took so long because I know all a lot
- 28:28Speaker 3: of speculation was.
- 28:30Speaker 1: I was having fun with the speculation. Yeah, run with
- 28:33Speaker 1: the speculation. We were letting it right here.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Yes, But they don't. They don't think like U.
- 28:38Speaker 4: All right, So one of the things that will make
- 28:40Speaker 4: the fan base happy is if Jim Leonard becomes the DC. Okay,
- 28:46Speaker 4: but that would be that would kind of be throwing
- 28:48Speaker 4: a bone to people who are still salty. But la
- 28:50Speaker 4: Floor coming back is like, oh, we got the DC
- 28:52Speaker 4: who should have been there, could have been there a.
- 28:53Speaker 10: While back, could have been the Badger's coach.
- 28:55Speaker 4: He's coaching the hell out of it in Denver with
- 28:57Speaker 4: those dbs. He's got some good players, but he's yeah
- 29:00Speaker 4: that that would I think that would make people a
- 29:02Speaker 4: little bit more comfortable.
- 29:03Speaker 10: But this defensive coordinat high is gonna be pretty important.
- 29:06Speaker 7: Yes See, I wouldn't concentrate so much on the person.
- 29:12Speaker 7: I concentrate on the kind of defense is gonna be.
- 29:17Speaker 7: That's what I look at.
- 29:18Speaker 3: I don't look at Al Harris or now.
- 29:21Speaker 7: I would have liked the young man Chris Parker. I
- 29:25Speaker 7: think the one that went loved him. But I'm staying
- 29:30Speaker 7: away from people. I want to know the system. The system,
- 29:34Speaker 7: to me is the reason why Happy's in Miamia.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Yep.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Well, and I like, do you say that because they
- 29:39Speaker 2: try to say, like the new catchphrase Gannon did this
- 29:41Speaker 2: when he was in Philly goes.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I don't have a scheme.
- 29:43Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna coach the players I have and
- 29:45Speaker 2: I'm building, but but you do have to have some
- 29:47Speaker 2: core philosophies that, yes, I know you believe in.
- 29:50Speaker 1: And that's why I'm gonna believe in them as the player.
- 29:51Speaker 3: That's what the interview process is. You come in, where
- 29:54Speaker 3: are you gonna run?
- 29:56Speaker 7: Because you can't rely on number one because what if
- 29:59Speaker 7: he gets hurt to get you may not have him
- 30:00Speaker 7: for the first month. You got a bunch of babies
- 30:02Speaker 7: in there, the youngest team in the league. How can
- 30:05Speaker 7: you get them to hit, run and cover? For example,
- 30:08Speaker 7: you don't know anybody on New England's defense they run hard. Yeah,
- 30:13Speaker 7: they hit. You don't see them lining up in the
- 30:16Speaker 7: wrong spot. You don't see them like just moving out
- 30:20Speaker 7: the way, letting people score. They don't do none of that.
- 30:23Speaker 7: They don't do that.
- 30:25Speaker 2: They don't jump on the pile, they don't angriest ever been.
- 30:31Speaker 7: They don't I know Vaile play there, wann They don't
- 30:35Speaker 7: they hit, run and cover.
- 30:38Speaker 3: Now the Texans their defense, they just get after you. You
- 30:43Speaker 3: don't know. But maybe two guys, I mean, Willie Anderson Jr.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Is amazing next.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of the top guys out of Marble.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to see his vers tip. The guy
- 30:55Speaker 3: lives rock. He's twenty years old.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Roy I'd never wear a shirt yeah.
- 30:58Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, but he doesn't have amazing hair like you.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Yes, I like why people lie to me?
- 31:07Speaker 3: Yea, I love it. That's another T shirt?
- 31:10Speaker 4: Ryan?
- 31:10Speaker 3: Why all you what?
- 31:11Speaker 6: Love it?
- 31:12Speaker 3: Feel better?
- 31:13Speaker 7: But I want guys to hit, run and cover. So
- 31:19Speaker 7: whoever can do that, That's why I halfly got that job.
- 31:22Speaker 7: So I'm like, what did he say in his interview?
- 31:25Speaker 7: Because he's the head coach Boston College came here.
- 31:30Speaker 3: And so whoever system that is, that's what I want.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Well, and I it's clear that it is going to
- 31:39Speaker 2: be you said it important higher, most important one of
- 31:42Speaker 2: Lafleur's career, right.
- 31:44Speaker 3: And if he has to do special teams, well.
- 31:49Speaker 2: You know we said this is Leroy Butler Leap, thirty
- 31:51Speaker 2: six Pro Football Hall of Famer, inventor of the Lambeau Leap.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Even though Drew my son sings jump in the sands
- 31:57Speaker 2: when he doesn't let lamb Leap doesn't get a royalties
- 32:00Speaker 2: on it.
- 32:01Speaker 4: Also, board board of directors Yes, yes, so so what's
- 32:05Speaker 4: what's tell us anything?
- 32:06Speaker 7: Don't we just give money to Green me A Packer
- 32:10Speaker 7: Foundation and Title Town Tech and we just try to
- 32:14Speaker 7: make money and give it out to people.
- 32:16Speaker 3: What we're doing. Football operators have.
- 32:18Speaker 7: No idea, almost cursed, no idea but spacial teams.
- 32:23Speaker 3: To me, I can argue that Matt la Floor and.
- 32:29Speaker 7: Really all of the Mics don't have multiple super Bowls
- 32:34Speaker 7: because the special teams because of them.
- 32:35Speaker 4: Yep, So you gotta know, you gotta nail that when
- 32:38Speaker 4: it comes to Pasacia. If he's a great guy and
- 32:40Speaker 4: he has a big impact that everybody likes him around
- 32:42Speaker 4: the locker room and stuff.
- 32:43Speaker 10: That unit has underperformed, right.
- 32:45Speaker 3: And underperformed, you're being that.
- 32:47Speaker 4: Okay, they've been bad, but it's been You're right, it
- 32:50Speaker 4: spent thirty years of having underperformance. But I'm old enough
- 32:54Speaker 4: to remember when Mike McCarthy got hired to coach the Packers,
- 32:56Speaker 4: and my guys on the radio that I was with,
- 32:58Speaker 4: Bill Johnson and Dan Needles said they just got the
- 33:00Speaker 4: coordinator the worst offense in the in the NFC, like
- 33:02Speaker 4: San Francisco, they were awful. I'm like, that doesn't mean
- 33:04Speaker 4: he's a bad coach. I covered baseball teams where the
- 33:07Speaker 4: players were bad.
- 33:08Speaker 10: Doesn't mean the coaches were bad, right, So where is
- 33:11Speaker 10: that line? Maybe is rich, but is it a scheme thing?
- 33:14Speaker 4: Like because the results aren't there and this is the
- 33:15Speaker 4: results business, and that gets you fired and you can
- 33:18Speaker 4: make a case he deserves to be fired.
- 33:20Speaker 10: A month ago or a year ago. But what is
- 33:22Speaker 10: the case to keep him?
- 33:23Speaker 4: And can you make a case to keep him based
- 33:25Speaker 4: on his impact, based on like the floor, use him
- 33:27Speaker 4: as a sounding board, or is there something that we
- 33:30Speaker 4: don't know that goes beyond just the performance of the teams,
- 33:33Speaker 4: which I think is we all agree would be a fireable.
- 33:36Speaker 3: The thing about that is.
- 33:39Speaker 7: They have to have a hard conversation with a to
- 33:42Speaker 7: find out where his passion is. So when you're coaching
- 33:46Speaker 7: such young guys see special teams, people think sometimes easy,
- 33:50Speaker 7: it could be the most difficult coach in the building
- 33:53Speaker 7: because when one guy gets hurt, I gotta know his backup,
- 33:57Speaker 7: and I gotta know that guy's back up. So every
- 33:59Speaker 7: time you kind of go off another team's practice squad
- 34:02Speaker 7: on my pipe squad, I got to put him somewhere.
- 34:04Speaker 7: Then I got to make sure you hit runs and covered.
- 34:07Speaker 7: Then I gotta know he got to know all of that.
- 34:09Speaker 7: But will you want of the highest pay they expect
- 34:13Speaker 7: you to know it.
- 34:15Speaker 10: So here's the thing.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Half leaguets the past, because Michael Parsons was hurt, they lost.
- 34:18Speaker 3: No, No, we didn't. We'll have to pass a coach.
- 34:24Speaker 7: Head coaching job out of it, because they judged him
- 34:26Speaker 7: up until that point.
- 34:27Speaker 3: If they adjudged him for the last five.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Games, different different stories.
- 34:34Speaker 7: Always back in Boston College. Uh, that's my coaching cornerback,
- 34:37Speaker 7: that's my point.
- 34:38Speaker 4: So, yes, Parsons was out in that domino effect. They
- 34:41Speaker 4: did have bow Melton in Sane Anderson for that last game,
- 34:44Speaker 4: and there their two best gunners, and then they gave
- 34:46Speaker 4: us some crippling.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Returns and they still haven't had a returner, right, I
- 34:49Speaker 2: mean that's the But I'm just like you.
- 34:51Speaker 3: Think Seattle's playing this weekend.
- 34:52Speaker 10: Is that his fault that.
- 34:54Speaker 4: They didn't they didn't give him him that they tried
- 34:56Speaker 4: to get Nicole Hartman to get some more miles.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Out of the tires out of those stars that were bald.
- 35:00Speaker 10: I mean, so at a point, I'm almost talking to myself.
- 35:04Speaker 4: I think Pistacia would be fired and it's like he's
- 35:06Speaker 4: overpaid and unperforming next right, But that's then then people say, well,
- 35:11Speaker 4: how can you say that keeping the floor is a
- 35:13Speaker 4: good thing?
- 35:14Speaker 10: You know, I try to be consistent with my opinions.
- 35:16Speaker 7: That's why I said with acid and that's we agree
- 35:20Speaker 7: to disagree. Yes, once a back got makes some changes
- 35:25Speaker 7: and one of those changes would be fair for a
- 35:27Speaker 7: special team because the kicker, I mean, he fumbled at
- 35:33Speaker 7: the one. Let's I mean, you can't sugarcoat that. I mean,
- 35:39Speaker 7: but you put Luca's sick on practice squad because is
- 35:45Speaker 7: he a new kicker. So they're gonna be looking the
- 35:49Speaker 7: fan base. It's gonna be looking for stuff like that
- 35:53Speaker 7: that they want to change in the coaching staff.
- 35:57Speaker 3: Uh, opposive line. That's the one that the defense.
- 36:02Speaker 7: They may want to keep something, but half is going
- 36:04Speaker 7: to take some of those people. Half they may want
- 36:07Speaker 7: to take.
- 36:08Speaker 3: A lot of the people. Well, I just don't know
- 36:11Speaker 3: how it's going to shape up.
- 36:12Speaker 2: And it's gonna be an interesting year because there's so
- 36:14Speaker 2: many jobs, right, ten different head coaching jobs. That means
- 36:17Speaker 2: ten different whole staffs might be different in buildings, and
- 36:21Speaker 2: it's gonna be so different.
- 36:22Speaker 4: We can't let Lroi leave without getting your take on
- 36:25Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy going to where he grew up, where he's from.
- 36:29Speaker 4: He only coached iconic franchises Green Bay, Dallas, and Pittsburgh.
- 36:32Speaker 3: That's a hell of a career, big Mike. He's a
- 36:36Speaker 3: good friend put that to the side.
- 36:38Speaker 7: Okay, but the thing about it is he has always
- 36:44Speaker 7: probably wanted to coach in Pittsburgh, but that's not the
- 36:48Speaker 7: lead to that stories. Are you going to coach with
- 36:52Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers, who some people think had you fired before
- 36:57Speaker 7: games to go?
- 36:59Speaker 3: And I always say no.
- 37:00Speaker 7: He's gonna want to go get his own quarterback to
- 37:03Speaker 7: develop for the next five years.
- 37:05Speaker 3: And whoever that quarterback is will be an.
- 37:08Speaker 7: MVP conversation because they have a quarterback that he puts
- 37:11Speaker 7: in that system put up huge numbers.
- 37:15Speaker 3: The congratulations.
- 37:16Speaker 2: It blows my mind that Dak didn't get more love
- 37:19Speaker 2: for what they did there.
- 37:20Speaker 7: And yeah, he won games with Cooper Rush.
- 37:25Speaker 1: I struggled to think that they're not going to be
- 37:26Speaker 1: able to win some games.
- 37:27Speaker 2: I do think it's going to be fascinating to see, uh,
- 37:30Speaker 2: the McAfee special when Aaron and Big Mike, because I
- 37:36Speaker 2: mean Big Mike was on.
- 37:37Speaker 1: There all year.
- 37:37Speaker 2: He just recently give him some cash. He had to
- 37:40Speaker 2: kick Aaron off because you damn here got him canceled
- 37:42Speaker 2: off ESPN. So I'm excited to see this is all
- 37:45Speaker 2: McAfee ball that turns Pittsburgh's.
- 37:49Speaker 7: Is as off as the coordinator is but I think
- 37:52Speaker 7: congratulations to Mike because he went home and how.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Much did it mean to him for how much he
- 37:57Speaker 2: got loved up in Green Bay this year.
- 37:58Speaker 1: It was awesome seeing him back again.
- 38:00Speaker 3: It was amazing.
- 38:01Speaker 7: And that's on Billy because when I saw him coming
- 38:04Speaker 7: back with his team, it's very emotional because he did
- 38:06Speaker 7: so much for the community.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Him and his wife raised millions of dollars.
- 38:11Speaker 7: I mean, we used to be up in Oregon, Wisconsin
- 38:13Speaker 7: dolphin at a tournament. So when he came back and
- 38:17Speaker 7: him and I saw him and Martin Murphy, who I
- 38:19Speaker 7: love Mark Murphy, I mean Martin Murphy is amazing to
- 38:22Speaker 7: see them embrace and it was awesome.
- 38:25Speaker 1: It was amazing.
- 38:26Speaker 3: It was awesome.
- 38:27Speaker 7: So if we can do Super Bowl fourty five and
- 38:29Speaker 7: beating Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl, that would be amazing.
- 38:31Speaker 3: That we'll all do it.
- 38:34Speaker 1: We'll all do it in LA.
- 38:35Speaker 2: We'll all do it in LA and we'll be their

- 40:34Speaker 4: of Costco. You get to be empty nesters like me,
- 40:38Speaker 4: and it's like there's I used to always joke when
- 40:40Speaker 4: I would go to my mom's place, I'm like, your
- 40:41Speaker 4: fridge has anorexia. Ain't nothing in it. It's like there's
- 40:45Speaker 4: nothing to observe. It's so bottle of water and some
- 40:48Speaker 4: cranberry sauce. It's some mustard or something. And that's kind
- 40:50Speaker 4: of the way we are now. And it's the European
- 40:52Speaker 4: model where you go pick stuff up to per meal.
- 40:55Speaker 4: It's like, I'm gonna make chicken bread, like you just
- 40:59Speaker 4: buy stuff. That's the European market model for where people
- 41:02Speaker 4: walk by them a loaf of bread.

- 41:08Speaker 2: bunny uh it versions.
