1:44

1:50

2:45
weekend here in Long Island, New York, NY City.
2:49
It would. And now I don't know what you
2:51
call it. What is this like a northeastern
2:52
or something? It was windy, it was a storm, it
2:56
was rainy. It was disgusting out today and
2:59
I had to drive in it, but nevertheless, All in all, I like
3:03
this weather. We're in the 60s probably if we
3:06
got down to the 50s and the 40s, I think that would be my
3:10
favorite time of year weather. I I don't like it under 40
3:14
because once you hit those 30s it gets icy and dangerous and I
3:19
don't like driving in danger even though I usually do speedy.
3:22
What's up, man? And enjoying this a little bit
3:25
of the fall weather. Shout out to my dog.
3:27
Dealing with a lot actually. I had to have a surgery.
3:29
Recently I got 6 teeth, 6 teeth. Pulled.
3:31
Yeah, he's. Still in a little bit of a after
3:33
surgery. Yeah, it's a it's a process.
3:35
He's still in a little bit of a daze.
3:36
They put him under anesthesia for a while.
3:38
He's not really like, if you watch him like walk around
3:41
outside like he does, he's like what?
3:43
He's like dozing off. He wants to crash and
3:46
everything. It's like it's been tough, but
3:48
overall it's been a struggle for my uncle more than this for me.
3:51
I would love to try whatever they give the dogs to put them,
3:54
like put them down or put them to sleep so they can do all
3:57
those surgeries. That's what I would like to try,
4:00
a little dose of that. Well, I'm going to need a big
4:02
dose because I'm a big dog, if you know what I mean.
4:05
But nevertheless, I'm happy that your dog is feeling better.
4:09
It was a crazy, crazy weekend for me.
4:11
I, I don't understand it. I was supposed to go to this
4:13
like food festival and it was cancelled because of the
4:16
weather. And then they were supposed to
4:19
have it open today and Brittany couldn't go anyways today even
4:22
if it was open but the weather. So they cancelled it and they're
4:25
not returning the money. So it was like $65 to get AVIP
4:30
section at the festival and Brittany lost $120.00.
4:35
Not only that, she lost $700.00 because she was supposed to go
4:40
to Central Park for that concert with Shakira and Cardi B.
4:44
The weekend was supposed to be there.
4:46
She did not want to see Cardi B so she decided not to go.
4:49
She spent $350.00 a ticket for me and her and she lost $700.00.
4:55
So and, and then we just got back from Florida.
4:58
So I, I don't know, it's been a crazy one, but you know, with,
5:01
with sports and yesterday I got a chance to hang out because it
5:04
was rainy at Millers Alehouse. I watched practically every game
5:09
all the way towards 7:00 where I left Miller's Ale House.
5:13
I started from 12:00 to 7:00 at Miller's Ale House.
5:17
It was fun. Deer Park Ave.
5:19
If if you've never been there, the food's great.
5:21
I'll give him a shout out over there over on this show.
5:24
Miller's Ale House. Love it.
5:25
It's one of my favorite places, one of my favorite sports bars
5:28
to go to. It is sensational.
5:30
It's been you've been there we. Hang out, I think, I think I've
5:32
been to that one. I remember that one.
5:34
I'm. Talking about Miller's Ale
5:35
House, you like the food? Yes, of course.
5:36
What is your favorite food over there?
5:38
Prime Burger The Prime Burger? What do you have on your Prime
5:41
burger? So it's a, it's a, it's
5:42
mushrooms. There's, there's like those
5:44
fried onion thingies, there's melted cheese on it.
5:47
There's. Fried onion thingies, that's
5:50
what he says. You hear that, Tommy?
5:52
Fried onion You. Mean like fried onion rings.
5:55
Not not rings, they're. They're, well, they're in the
5:58
shape. They're like, they're like BBQ
6:00
onions, but they're they're fried a little bit, they're
6:02
smaller. They're onion rings, straws.
6:04
They're just thin onion rings. That's what they are.
6:06
They're like straw rings. That's what they call them.
6:09
That's what they call them, speedy, I mean.
6:11
Like onion straws or something. Yeah, that's what they're
6:13
called. I mean, I understand.
6:15
And by the way, if you've never had the the prime rib burger
6:19
over there at Millersdale House, well, you are missing a treat
6:23
because it's actually if you like prime rib, you'll love the
6:25
prime burger over there. I also like the cube bacon
6:28
burger. It's really, really good over
6:29
there that. Was going to be my next one.
6:31
That's a that's a really good burger.
6:32
It is. It really is.
6:33
But you got to put a little bit of honey mustard on it, you
6:35
know, I know everybody's going to make jokes.
6:37
You and the honey mustard. Thing I'm just saying you're
6:39
glad Goody and Jabba is not here.
6:41
They would have they. Would have been all.
6:42
Not yet. I am a honey mustard fan.
6:44
I don't know what it is with with.
6:45
With on the burger dude, yeah. Absolutely.
6:48
I don't know about on a burger. I'll try it.
6:50
I'm telling you, go try the honey mustard on the Cube bacon
6:54
burger. It's delicious.
6:56
It is absolutely delicious. So cube bacon burger?
6:59
You mean it's got like roast pork on it?
7:01
No, it's a regular burger. It's got all the different
7:05
things. Tomato.
7:06
Lettuce. It's got some.
7:08
Cuban like a Cuban sandwiches. Roast.
7:10
No. Was it Cuban?
7:11
It's a cube. Bacon Cuban.
7:12
It's like AQ. It's literally spelled CUE bacon
7:15
burger. It's a cute bacon burger BBQ.
7:17
It does? Yeah, BBQ.
7:19
What it is, Yeah, I mix you mix a little honey mustard with BBQ.
7:21
It's got a nice taste to. It has a little BBQ sauce on it.
7:24
Yeah, it's a nice taste to it. What are you shaking your head
7:26
for not? Honey mustard.
7:27
Man, it's delicious. How could you not like honey
7:30
mustard? How could you put honey mustard
7:33
on a burger? What do you mean how could I put
7:34
honey mustard? On that's a.
7:35
That's a. That's a weird.
7:36
Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't like honey mustard, raise
7:40
your hand. I I'm raising my hand.
7:42
I love it. I like chicken fingers.
7:45
I like honey mustard. Well hold on, hold on one
7:47
second. So that's all you would eat
7:48
honey mustard with is chicken fingers.
7:51
I think that's it. Me too.
7:52
Honestly, I don't know. I don't know.
7:53
I don't know anything. Else I don't.
7:55
Maybe onion rings. Maybe onion rings if they're
7:58
like a spicy onion. Ring so you don't use honey
8:00
mustard on fries. Absolutely not.
8:03
No way actually. That, that's pretty good.
8:05
I've tried like if it's delicious.
8:06
Get away, get away from me with this mustard on fruit.
8:09
No, no, it's not mustard. I hate mustard.
8:11
I like honey mustard. There's chicken tenders and
8:13
fries. It's different fries and dip it
8:15
in the honey. Mustard, it's different.
8:17
I don't know where you where you guys think that honey mustard is
8:20
so damn bad. It is delicious.
8:23
It's got that nice sweet taste. It melts in your mouth and
8:27
hopefully not in Speedy's pants, if you know what I mean.
8:29
It does. It melts in your mouth.
8:32
It does. It's.
8:32
Yeah, it's just like M&M's. That's exactly.
8:35
Absolutely, I'd rather have honey mustard than M&M's.
8:38
I would. I love honey mustard, it's
8:41
delicious. It depends also with what honey
8:43
mustard it is. If it tastes too much like
8:46
mustard, I can't stand the taste.
8:48
It's got to be sweet. So you basically just want honey
8:51
with a little bit of mustard. It's got to be sweet.
8:54
It's got to have to have a sweet taste to it.
8:56
It's a little tangy taste to it. What's?
8:59
Related question, you go to get breakfast?
9:01
Yeah. Do you just douse everything in
9:03
Maple syrup? No, I'm not a big Maple syrup
9:07
fan. But that's like sweet, you know,
9:09
I would think if you like honey mustard, you would be all in on
9:12
the Maple. Syrup.
9:13
No, I actually with my waffles, if I'm having waffles, I want to
9:16
butter them down. I, I like to, I like to put a
9:18
lot of butter on my pancakes and my waffles.
9:21
And then I, I, I'm not going to say I don't put enough syrup on
9:26
my waffles or pancakes, but I, I don't like completely drain it
9:30
or what do they call it? Drench it.
9:33
That's that's the word. Drench it with syrup.
9:35
I, I don't, I definitely don't do that.
9:37
So. What about a bacon, egg and
9:38
cheese? Would you put honey mustard or
9:40
ketchup on that? Bacon, egg and cheese.
9:42
Ketchup. Absolutely.
9:44
I would never put honey mustard on an egg sandwich.
9:47
Thank you, you just made me almost like gag.
9:49
I wouldn't do that. I, I that's one thing I won't
9:51
do. That's one thing I won't do.
9:54
That's I would never put that on my egg sandwich.
9:56
I like honey mustard too. I I don't know about as much as
9:58
you, but I mean I would never put honey mustard on my bacon.
10:01
No, nobody would do that. That would be really disgusting
10:05
and it would probably make everybody throw up.
10:06
I would make me throw up. And I like honey mustard.
10:09
I mean, I like my eggs too. If I'm pouring any honey mustard
10:13
on my eggs, I'm probably going to throw up.
10:15
So yeah, I don't want to go into the my food tasting
10:20
possibilities in my future, all right, because that could be a
10:23
great job for me. Could you imagine me walking to
10:25
a restaurant and be a food taster and they don't even know
10:28
who I am? And I walk right through the
10:29
door and I'm like, could I have a, could I have a seat?
10:32
And you see me walk right in and I'm like, I'll try this and I'll
10:35
try that and I'll try this. Make sure you give me some of
10:38
that honey mustard too. Those.
10:40
Like the young people? You you make your own food show,
10:43
it gets cancelled on you, you start your own and that's how
10:46
you get at your. Events, there is not one show if
10:48
I'm a part of is ever going to get cancelled.
10:50
And even if it was with food, I'm going to make it be funny
10:54
and stupid at the same time. I, I, it, it has to be funny.
10:58
You can't go into a restaurant when somebody has a camera on
11:01
you and not act like a Jackass. Honestly, you have to, you have
11:07
to show some personality. If there's some cameras pointing
11:10
right at you and you're eating a beef sandwich or whatever the
11:13
hell it is, you know what I like?
11:14
Have you ever had those? Like I they're like these steak
11:18
flats. They're steak flats and they put
11:21
steak on a piece of like bread, but they call them flats and
11:25
they put like some kind of. Flat bread.
11:26
No, it's not flatbread, it's flats.
11:29
They call them flats, steak flats, and they put this like, I
11:35
don't know what it is. It's like some kind of like some
11:38
kind of like I, I don't know what it is.
11:40
It's some kind of cheese or something on it under, under.
11:43
It actually tastes really, really good.
11:47
And I and I can't remember what it is, but it is delicious.
11:50
I every time I have, I go to a party lessons.
11:53
If anybody has never been to a catering hall out here in New
11:56
York, it's owned by practically every, every catering hall is
12:00
owned by lessons and it it's a company owned, family owned.
12:06
And they make some good food. And when they give you cocktail,
12:09
cocktail hour, when they're walking around with all
12:12
different things, they're giving you sausages and all this other
12:15
stuff. They they bring these like these
12:18
steak flats out and they're so I'm like stealing them.
12:21
She brings all, she brings out the whole tray.
12:23
How many you want? So I think.
12:25
You described it very poorly. You just said it was like steak
12:28
and there was cheese. Yeah, that and like you know.
12:30
Something else is on it. Like flattened steak?
12:32
Is it like hors d'oeuvre they beat it flat or?
12:34
Something it is an hors d'oeuvre they they consider an hors
12:37
d'oeuvre. Is it like a steak roll up like
12:39
a flat? Steak.
12:40
No, it's a it's a piece of bread.
12:42
It's got a little flat steak on it, and then it's got like this
12:45
cheese and something else under the cheese and it's melted on
12:49
it. It's really delicious and they
12:51
toast it. The bread is like a flat toast.
12:54
It really is delicious. I got to give Lessons a little
12:57
bit of credit. You know, I don't want to scare
12:58
anybody away, but if you like your food, go to Lessons.
13:01
New York catering halls, you name it, the Condra Hall, go
13:05
over there, Black, Bethpage Black, that's owned by Lessons.
13:08
Go test out the food. The New York Jets went to London
13:12
in search of their first win in 2025 and came up empty again,
13:18
falling to the Broncos 13 to 11 in a defensive struggle.
13:24
The Broncos sacked Justin Fields 9 times and are are on pace for
13:29
the NFL record of 85 sacks in a season.
13:32
The Jets are tied with the Titans for the most sacks
13:36
allowed this season. Dustin Fields had only 45
13:39
passing yards in the game -10 net passing yards with the yards
13:45
lost in sacks -10 in the lowest totals in the game since 1998.
13:51
The Jets played calling. Play Calling had color analyst
13:57
Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner telling live audiences.
14:02
I'm not sure what. I just watched as The Jets
14:06
completed and blew a drive at the end of the first half.
14:10
The aired to add injury on top of insult.
14:14
SN wise Connor Hughes reports that Garrett Wilson suffered a
14:18
knee injury during the fourth quarter, but apparently avoided
14:21
a major injury after the MRI was done.
14:24
After the game, Wilson is still expected to miss some time.
14:28
When asked if Aaron Gladd would consider a quarterback change
14:32
after fields of struggles, he responded to reporters.
14:35
What kind of question is that today after receiving heat for
14:40
this exchange and said that Fields needs to play better but
14:45
appears to be staying at with the struggling quarterback for
14:49
now. I'm not going to blame Justin
14:51
Fields for this debacle of a game.
14:54
You travel all the way from New York to London.
14:57
That's that's a long, long travel.
15:00
The Broncos really, I thought would be at this point, 5 and
15:04
one at worst. The Broncos have not had a good
15:07
season. They have not.
15:08
Their defenses looked really, really good.
15:10
Their offense has been a shell of what they were last year,
15:13
maybe because of lack of offensive weapons.
15:16
They added Mr. Pot hands himself in the offseason.
15:20
He made a couple of grabs. Courtland Sutton is a
15:22
sensational wide receiver, but they don't have any secondary
15:26
wide receivers on this team. And it's not going to be
15:28
Franklin. I know everybody wants to
15:30
believe that Franklin is a decent wide receiver.
15:32
He's not a #2 The Jets all season long has looked like a
15:37
peewee football team. You want to blame Aaron Glenn,
15:40
so be it. The coach is going to get a lot
15:42
of the heat. It usually happens that way.
15:45
The quarterback is usually going to get the second most of the
15:49
heat when the team isn't playing well, especially the offensive
15:52
side of the ball. Justin Fields did not look good
15:55
if you look at his numbers and his struggles. 9 completed
15:58
passes out of 1745 passing yards.
16:02
Sacked 9 times. His quarterback rating was 58.7.
16:08
Here's the problem right now for the New York Jets, and I don't
16:10
care what anybody says, the problem with The Jets is they
16:13
can't run the ball. They cannot run the ball.
16:15
Breece Hall had 22 attempts to rush the ball only 59 yards.
16:20
He was averaging 2.7 a rush in the NFL.
16:25
If you're rushing less than 3.5 a rush, it's bad bad.
16:30
And when Justin Fields is your #2 rusher, there's a problem
16:34
there. And he had 7 carries for 31
16:36
yards. He averaged more yards per carry
16:40
than their star running back and Breece Hall.
16:43
Breece Hall is up for a contract at the end of the season.
16:45
He has not look good. He's been up and down.
16:48
He had one really unbelievable game against the Pittsburgh
16:52
Steelers, and then it's been up and down really for the last six
16:55
games, Five games, because it's Week 6.
16:59
They have nobody besides Garrett Wilson when it comes to their
17:03
playmakers. Taylor's going to be a playmaker
17:06
in the future. He's still young.
17:07
Tight ends take three years to develop.
17:10
I don't expect Taylor to really pick up this offense as quick
17:14
being that it comes from LSU and and it comes from a college.
17:17
Tight ends take a little bit longer because you're going to
17:19
have to do a lot of different things.
17:21
You're going to have to block, you're going to have to catch,
17:23
you're going to have to run routes in an NFL style game.
17:26
It's not that easy for a tight end.
17:29
The Jets are not a good team. They're not.
17:31
I'm not going to beat around the Bush.
17:33
I'm not giant fans out there thinking, well, we beat the
17:36
Eagles and we got Scataboo and we got dart.
17:40
We're we look like we're going to be a Super Bowl contender in
17:42
two or three years. And I'm not taking shots at the
17:44
Giants. I'm just speaking facts here.
17:47
Both teams are not good. They're not.
17:49
And The Jets, to me, with the roster that they have, have more
17:53
talent than the Giants, but the talent that they have on their
17:56
roster are not being used in the right, proper way.
18:00
So everybody's going to say it's Aaron Glenn's fault, it's Steve
18:03
Wilkes's fault. Aaron Glenn hired Steve Wilkes
18:07
everywhere. Steve Wilkes is gone as a
18:09
defensive coordinator, even as a head coach.
18:11
He was fired in one year by the Arizona Cardinals.
18:14
Why? Why?
18:15
How many coaches in the NFL get fired in just one year?
18:19
There were stories coming out, many, many teams have said that
18:23
Steve Wilkes has worked for and coaches that have worked besides
18:27
Steve Wilkes have said Steve Wilkes is not a people's person.
18:31
He doesn't get over, he doesn't get along with a lot of his
18:33
players. He has his own way of doing
18:35
things. So my question to Aaron Glenn is
18:38
if you know this and I understand you're friends with
18:41
Steve, why did you choose Steve Wilkes to be your defensive
18:45
coordinator? I love Aaron Glenn.
18:47
I think Aaron Glenn is the coach of the New York Jets and their
18:50
future. I, I think he's sensational.
18:52
I think he has all the ability and the greatness to be a great
18:56
Jets head coach in the future. I like the fact that Bill, he's
19:00
a Bill Parcells disciple. We've heard many people say
19:04
that, including Campbell saying that they believe he believes
19:08
that this guy is going to be a sensational head coach in the
19:11
NFL. Might take him a little while.
19:13
The fact is there is nothing that tells me right now that
19:16
this team can't compete. If you look at every single game
19:20
this year besides the Buffalo Bills game, The Jets have been
19:23
in every single game. They should have beaten
19:26
Pittsburgh. They should have.
19:28
Mistakes happen at in the fourth quarter with 5 minutes left of
19:31
the game, The Jets had an 8 point lead.
19:33
At one point in the fourth quarter, they choked.
19:36
You look at all these games last night.
19:39
Yesterday they had the ball with less than a minute left.
19:42
Justin Fields was on the 50. All he had to do was run.
19:47
Instead he ran backwards. They made him, they made a
19:50
couple of play mistakes at the line of scrimmage.
19:52
The offensive line, and I'm going to say this, The Jets
19:55
strength right now is their offensive line.
19:58
But the last two weeks they have not looked good and again,
20:01
there's seems that need to be cleaned up.
20:04
That doesn't mean The Jets are going to go oh, and 17 this
20:07
year. I don't believe they will.
20:09
I think The Jets will find a way to win at least one or two
20:12
games. Do I think The Jets are the
20:14
worst team right now in the NFL, even though they are the only
20:18
team right now in the NFL? Not with a win, no.
20:20
I think they're better than the Browns.
20:22
I think they're better than the Titans.
20:24
I think they're better than a lot of these teams that have one
20:26
to two wins. Just bad luck.
20:29
And in certain parts of the game, The Jets can't close.
20:34
They can't and they don't have a quarterback that can do the
20:37
things that you want, not just A1 dimensional, a guy that can
20:42
run and throw the be a mobile quarterback and throw in the
20:45
pocket. Justin Fields has proven as a
20:48
professional NFL player that he is not a guy that can step into
20:53
the pocket and make every single throw.
20:54
He has not developed that part of his game.
20:57
And because he hasn't developed that part of his game, he's
21:00
become a one-dimensional type of quarterback.
21:02
Every single team knows what he is going to do when he steps
21:06
back and he can't throw in the flats.
21:09
He's going to run. The only person, the only player
21:11
he's throwing to is Karen Wilson.
21:13
And, and that has something to do with the GM.
21:17
And I think Moogie, he's new. This is his first year he came
21:21
in with Aaron Glenn. Did I like that they decided to
21:25
bring in Aaron Glenn before Moogie?
21:27
Moogie, I I thought in my eyes, you usually bring in the GM
21:32
first, right? That's what you usually do.
21:34
Didn't The Jets bring in Aaron Glenn 1st and then they brought
21:38
in the GM? Think Moogie was the last GM
21:40
that was hired. Right.
21:42
That's the problem with the New York Jets.
21:45
They do everything lopsided. When you look at Mooji, and I
21:47
might, I'm not taking shots at Mooji.
21:49
I think Mooji might be a good GM.
21:51
I love what he did with the Broncos.
21:53
He was with the Broncos for what, 12-13 years?
21:55
He was a part of the Super Bowl champion Broncos.
21:58
He was part of some of the drafts, the draft picks that
22:01
they made over the years, the Broncos success.
22:05
Pretty much. He didn't.
22:06
And Mooji was the one that didn't want Russell Wilson, if
22:09
you've heard the stories. The problem right now with the
22:11
New York Jets has a lot to do with the lack of talent
22:15
playmakers on this roster. They can't run the ball.
22:18
The coaching has been lopsided. The offensive coordinator, now
22:22
The Jets are going to say he's a rookie offensive coordinator.
22:25
And The Jets fans are going to say, well maybe they made the
22:28
wrong decision bringing in a rookie offensive coordinator.
22:30
We won't know what this kid is until the 3rd year and The Jets
22:35
are still a team that needs to figure out who they are, what
22:38
their identity is, and it's not going to be this year.
22:41
My opinion here here is, is if The Jets want the fans to follow
22:47
in their lead with this team in this roster and and their future
22:51
with Aaron Glenn, they're going to have to win against teams
22:55
they should beat. Miami is coming up again in the
22:58
next couple of weeks. They got to beat Miami.
23:00
They got to beat Miami. Their lost against Miami a
23:02
couple of weeks ago. They have to beat Miami.
23:05
They're going to have to beat the Patriots One of the times
23:08
they play them. They haven't played them yet,
23:10
but when they do, they're going to have to beat the Patriots.
23:13
If The Jets can pull off two wins and stay close in every
23:17
single game, then the fans have something to look forward to
23:20
next year. If you look at this, The Jets
23:22
with the Robert Sala era, you know the Robert Sala era, the
23:25
Bambi, the Sala era, The Jets would either win a very close
23:30
game because they play prevent defense and give the game away
23:33
practically when they have a 10 point lead with three minutes
23:37
left. Or what The Jets have always
23:39
been known to do is they just completely get killed by the
23:43
beginning of the game. You already know the game is
23:46
over because they're down by 17 in the first quarter.
23:50
That was the Robert Sala era. That is not the Aaron Glenn era.
23:54
It hasn't been yet. So fans, take a step back,
23:58
breathe a little bit. I have been a Jet fan my whole
24:00
life. I have seen some bad, bad
24:05
coaches bad. Rex Ryan might be the best one.
24:09
There's one right now with Baker Mayfield that was not successful
24:13
here. He had one good season with The
24:15
Jets his first year and Todd Bowles, now look at him.
24:18
Baker Mayfield looks like he's an MVP candidate and he looks
24:21
like he could be up for coach of the year.
24:23
That's how quick it could turn. You have to take a step back and
24:25
understand that this is not a winning organization.
24:28
I'm not going to be sitting here like, and I know Fish is going
24:31
to come out and he's going to do things and he hates The Jets and
24:34
a lot of Giant fans can't stand the New York Jet fans.
24:36
Gangrene. It's a worst name.
24:38
I think it's a worst football name in in professional sports.
24:42
It's terrible. You can't sit here and tell me
24:45
what The Jets have done so far this year and the way they've
24:48
looked that this doesn't look like a better team.
24:52
They look better than they have. They have been in every single
24:56
game consistently throughout the first game all the way to the
25:01
6th game. Now, I'm not going to cheer for
25:03
that. I'm not going to jump for joy
25:04
for that, but that's something. That is something Detroit, the
25:09
Lions, Dan Campbell, Aaron Glenn was a part of that growth and
25:14
that team. He was the defensive coordinator
25:16
when Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell hired Aaron Glenn to be his
25:19
defensive coordinator. And if you remember, Aaron Glenn
25:22
was the quarterback coach of the Saints under Sean Payton.
25:27
Does anybody know that? I'm giving you, I'm going to
25:30
spit some facts to you guys, Who is Sean Payton?
25:33
Sean Payton is a disciple of who?
25:34
Bill Parcells. Dan Campbell, Who is he a
25:37
disciple of? Bill Parcells.
25:39
Now you look at Bill Parcells and his record everywhere he's
25:42
gone. Is Bill Parcells one of the
25:44
greatest coaches of all time? You would probably say yes.
25:47
And every single coach that I can remember that comes from
25:51
that tree. Bill Belichick, one of the
25:53
greatest of all time. Tom Coughlin, one of the
25:56
greatest of all time. I don't know.
25:58
Sean Payton, one of the greatest of all time.
26:01
Tank Campbell, He's pretty, pretty great right now.
26:05
He won coach of the year last year.
26:07
Everyone of these guys that come from the Bill Parcells tree is
26:11
usually successful and it takes a little while to figure things
26:16
out. When Tom Coughlin came to the
26:18
Giants, were they winning? They weren't.
26:20
Their first two years was block. Then they made a move for Eli
26:24
Manning. It took a year.
26:25
They brought in Kurt Warner. Six games in, they brought it.
26:28
Tom Coughlin took took it on a whim.
26:30
He decided to move on from Kurt Warner.
26:33
They brought in Eli Manning in week 5 or 6 when the Giants had
26:36
a winning record. That year.
26:37
The Giants did not make the playoffs guys.
26:40
They did not. But did Tom Coughlin make the
26:42
right choice? He did did.
26:43
Aaron Glenn is not a stupid man. This guy was a successful player
26:47
in the NFL. He was one of the best corners
26:50
in the 90s. For four years.
26:53
He was an elite corner, a Pro Bowl corner.
26:55
He knows a little bit about the game here.
26:58
Here's another problem with The Jets that people don't see.
27:01
The secondary on this roster is really, really bad.
27:04
Besides sauce, what do they got? They brought Brownlee in to play
27:08
safety. Brownlee, who they drafted as a
27:10
wide receiver, they brought in more from Alabama.
27:13
He was a fourth round talent. Everybody thought that this guy,
27:16
this guys been he's been horrible.
27:18
Adams, I thought he was going to be good.
27:21
He he fit the Robert solar craft.
27:24
He's there. He's he lost his job.
27:26
This team is not good in the secondary.
27:29
Their front 7. Quinton Williams is good.
27:31
Will McDonald, he looked good in the first game.
27:34
He hasn't had a sack since the first game.
27:36
He had two sacks in the first game.
27:38
He has not had a sack since the Pittsburgh game.
27:42
The Jets are one of the worst at putting pressure on the opposing
27:46
quarterback. Why guys?
27:49
Because Steve Wilkes is doing the most ridiculous things and
27:53
everybody's going to say, what do you see, Arrow?
27:55
What do you see? Here's what I see.
27:57
Ever since Quincy Williams went down, they have no pass rush up
28:01
the middle. They have nothing.
28:02
Now they're trying to go on the edges and Jermaine Johnson, it's
28:05
just not that guy. Honestly, Jermaine Johnson
28:08
should be a middle linebacker. He's a run stopper.
28:11
He's not a defensive head. They need to shift him to the
28:14
linebacker position. If they bring him back, he's not
28:16
going to get paid a lot of money because he's not had a good
28:18
season. You move to the middle
28:20
linebacker position. Remember when he played college
28:22
ball? What position was he playing in?
28:24
Florida State, Speedy. He.
28:26
Was an outside linebacker. He was a linebacker and that's
28:29
where he should be. He should not be a defensive
28:31
end. Will McDonald, I think he is an
28:34
efficient defensive end, but he's not a number one.
28:37
He's a good number 2. They need to find a prominent
28:41
pass rusher now. Those don't.
28:44
They don't grow on trees guys, but there are going to be guys
28:47
that are going to be available next year that The Jets should
28:50
be looking at. Veteran guys that can help, guys
28:52
like Will McDonald. How about this Von Miller, even
28:56
though he's not in, he's not the same player he once was.
28:59
He signed a one year deal. I forget who he's playing for
29:02
this year. I don't remember.
29:04
I I pretty. Sure, he's with Washington.
29:06
I could be. I think he is with Washington.
29:08
He is with Washington right now. Von Miller becomes available in
29:10
your season. I'd bring Von Miller in, I'd
29:13
bring him in. I'd bring a veteran guy in to
29:15
help. Will McDonald develop?
29:17
He's got, by the way, who did will McDonald break?
29:21
What record did he break in college to become the most
29:25
efficient pass rusher in his conference?
29:28
Von Miller. So you look at it and you
29:31
understand that The Jets need to be a little bit smarter.
29:34
Stop pointing fingers. Stop blaming somebody.
29:37
This is not a winning season. This is not a winning roster.
29:40
Any Jet fans standing here today listening to me understands that
29:45
this team is not a good one. But that doesn't mean mean that
29:49
if they had three or four pieces in the offseason, they can't be
29:52
a contender. They can't make the playoffs
29:54
next year. And by the way, they need to
29:57
figure out the quarterback position.
29:59
The Jets are going to get a top three pick this year.
30:01
They're going to get a chance. Is it going to be Mendoza,
30:03
Fernando Mendoza maybe from Indiana?
30:06
He looks like he's going to be a player.
30:07
Are they going to go after seller?
30:09
Sellers is a is a good young quarterback.
30:11
We've watched him for Carol and play for Carolina, South
30:13
Carolina. Maybe he's a guy that The Jets
30:16
will be interested, interested in.
30:18
The Jets need to make the right decision at the quarterback
30:22
position. If The Jets want to win in the
30:25
future, they cannot keep making these bad mistakes.
30:29
Remember, Fish, you know this, Speedy.
30:31
You know this. When you pick a quarterback and
30:34
you're wrong about a quarterback, that sets your team
30:36
back 8 to 10 years, 8 to 10 years, and every eight to 10
30:43
years The Jets make the same friggin mistake.
30:48
Mark Sanchez, We saw what happened to him.
30:50
Remember him? Mark Sanchez.
30:53
What was Mark Sanchez doing in Indiana the night before he was
30:57
supposed to be a broadcaster and work with Iron Eagle?
31:00
I, I, I think I know what he was doing, ladies and gentlemen.
31:03
He was out drinking and then threatens a guy that was doing
31:07
his job, a 70 year old man, and threatens to kill him.
31:11
And then he gets stabbed up. And then he runs away and tells
31:14
everybody, including the police and the detective that goes to
31:17
the hospital that he doesn't remember anything.
31:19
And then Fox, I don't know if it's true or not.
31:23
Fox tried to brush this under the rug.
31:25
Nobody's even talking about this anymore.
31:27
That was a huge story. And then all of a sudden, it
31:30
absolutely disappeared. And by the way, Mark Sanchez was
31:33
not fired from Fox yet. Does that make any sense to you
31:36
guys? It doesn't to me, but that's
31:38
very jet like. Do we remember Sheldon
31:42
Richardson, defensive lineman The Jets drafted in the first
31:44
round in the offseason? This man decided to go and drive
31:48
his brand new car, 100. And 20 mph on an open Rd. with a
31:54
kid in the back with a gun in his car with his best buddy in
31:58
the front with him smoking marijuana gets pulled by over by
32:03
a cop. And then when he gets pulled out
32:06
of the car and the cop says what do you have in the car?
32:10
He says, oh, nothing, absolutely nothing.
32:14
And he says smells like marijuana in here.
32:16
And he said well, I, I don't know where that smells coming
32:19
from. And then they seem to go under
32:22
his seat and they find a gun under his seat with a kid in the
32:25
back, no, no older than five in the back of the seat with by the
32:30
way, not in his high chair, not in even, not even a kids seat.
32:34
He was buckled in a seat illegally.
32:40
It's very jet like this is not I'm I'm not even making a joke
32:43
about this. It it happens.
32:45
Here's another one. Here's another story.
32:48
X jet tight end. You know where I'm going at.
32:51
I'm not going to mention any names.
32:54
He was at Walmart in New Jersey and he decided for some reason
33:00
to get messed up and play with himself.
33:06
Gets caught by a cop, gets arrested and gets thrown off for
33:11
the New York Jets roster. Do you want me to go on?
33:15
I could go on and on and on and on about the New York Jets.
33:19
It's always a debacle. It's always a story and and
33:23
everybody wants to blame Woody Johnson.
33:24
These guys are professional athletes.
33:27
They're multimillionaires. There is no excuse for them.
33:31
There's no excuse for the losing.
33:32
I know Jet fans are going to say, well, you want to blame
33:35
somebody. There's no blaming anybody.
33:37
Yesterday's game was strictly on the players, not the coaching
33:43
the players. They were down 13 to 11 against
33:46
a team that made the playoffs last year, a quarterback and
33:50
Bone Nix that was one of the best young quarterbacks in the
33:53
league, who by the way, did not have a good game.
33:56
Bone Nix was 19 for thirty, 174 yards, 1 passing touchdown and
34:01
he was sacked once. His his quarterback rating was
34:04
90, but nevertheless, he was not good.
34:07
They couldn't run the ball. The Jets actually stopped the
34:09
run yesterday. It didn't matter.
34:12
It didn't matter what The Jets did, because The Jets couldn't
34:15
get out of their own friggin ways.
34:18
You know, Errol, I think that a lot of Jets fans would disagree
34:20
with you and blame the coaching because of what happened at the
34:23
end of the first half. You know, they lose by less than
34:25
three points and that's an easy, you know, couple of plays they
34:28
could have gotten off to get into field goal range and that
34:31
could have been the difference in the game.
34:32
And I think you saw a lot of this type of stuff in Dan
34:35
Campbell's first year when Glenn was there as a defensive
34:38
coordinator where they still didn't have these real good, you
34:41
know, during the game, you know, skills that you need a coach
34:45
that he just hasn't developed yet.
34:46
But you know that Glenn is being hired as a program builder.
34:49
He's not being hired as he's going to be this elite, you
34:52
know, during the game, you know, coach, he's going to develop
34:56
that over time. You got to give guys that are
34:58
new at coaching and The Jets have hired I I went through the
35:02
list. You realize they haven't hired a
35:04
coach that had prior head coaching experience since Bill
35:08
Parcells. I know oh wow, every every
35:10
single coach they hired I know was never a head coach before
35:14
since Parcells look Al grow wasn't a head coach her Eric
35:16
Mangini or The Jets Mangini Rex wasn't a head coach bowls.
35:21
That was his first head coaching job.
35:23
Gays, Sala, Ulbrich and now Glenn.
35:26
Not a single one since Parcells had any experience.
35:30
Gays did in Miami, but that was not good either.
35:33
That's why it was so puzzling, because he completely flamed out
35:36
with Miami, and he had only done that briefly because he was
35:41
Peyton Manning's guy and he got all the credit for maybe.
35:43
Maybe Peyton Manning knew a little bit about offense and it
35:46
wasn't. Well, first of all, Peyton
35:47
Manning screwed the New York Jets.
35:49
Let's be quite honest here. He was supposed to be the number
35:52
one pick in that draft. Instead, he decided.
35:54
Him and Archie Manning decided, hey, you know what, I want to go
35:58
in my senior year to play for Tennessee.
35:59
I don't want to go into the draft.
36:01
And The Jets, who did they draft?
36:02
Keyshawn Johnson? And and that was a debacle
36:05
himself. And that's another whole nother
36:07
story over there as he started with Wayne Quebec called him a
36:09
flashlight and The Jets had to move on from him.
36:12
Then he goes to Tampa and wins the Super Bowl over there with
36:14
Tampa and and John Gruden. That's a whole nother story.
36:16
Keyshawn Johnson, also implied by the great Fox Sports.
36:19
Yeah, that's a that's a whole nother story too.
36:21
It seems like every single jet that gets a job when it comes to
36:24
broadcasting or media work, they get fired as well, so.
36:28
And I realize your Bill Parcells argument.
36:31
It's a great argument, but there's one flaw.
36:33
What if they're great? Everyone from the Parcells tree
36:37
is this great football mind. Joe Shane is also from the Bill
36:42
Parcells tree. So I think if if that maybe Joe
36:47
Shane is still developing. One exception everywhere.
36:51
Joe Shane first First of all, Joe Shane was not considered the
36:56
on on the Bill Parcells tree. Well, you can say that, but he
36:59
started under Parcells. He was.
37:01
He's Buffalo Bills. Come on, stop.
37:03
Stop trying to jerk. Come on, Jerk me off on, man.
37:05
Let's face it. You're, you're, you're trying to
37:07
play games here and you're trying to throw me a feather.
37:10
I, I to me right now with the New York Jets, just have to
37:13
figure out who they are. And until they figure that out,
37:16
Jim can, Dan Campbell said it very, very well after his first
37:20
year with the Lions. And I remember what he said at
37:23
the press conference, he said this year was a dud.
37:27
We're A-Team. We're going to stick together
37:29
and we're going to be better next year and we're going to
37:32
come out harder. We're going to work harder in
37:33
the offseason. We're going to play harder and
37:35
we're going to come out as champions the next year.
37:37
Dan Campbell, you how could you not like Dan Campbell?
37:40
Did you watch him yesterday when you even they lost against
37:43
Kansas City and coming out in the second-half, he said,
37:45
listen, we have to score 30. If we don't score 30 against
37:48
this team, we're not winning. And he he did it in such a
37:51
unique way. And he's got that, that just
37:54
like that personality that that squaring personality that you
37:58
love. And even the broadcasters, they
38:00
loved it after they got off. How could you not like that guy?
38:03
Aaron Glenn needs to go up to the media and, and, and not try
38:07
to make excuses. Don't be don't be Todd Bowles,
38:12
don't be Rex Ryan, don't be Eric Mangini, who was quiet to the
38:16
media. Herm Edwards, We play to win the
38:20
game. You know, I, I, I don't be like
38:23
these guys. Go up there and call your
38:25
players out. Call them out, go out there and
38:29
say Justin needs to play better not do it the next day when your
38:33
owner probably said, why did you say why don't you tell the
38:36
truth? Why not go after Will McDonnell?
38:42
Will McDonnell has two sacks in game #1 he has and had one since
38:47
then. There's just a lot of things as
38:51
a Jet fan, that where are you? It worries me, Speedy.
38:54
Yeah, and again, you look at the analogies of making, of trying
38:57
to build a team culture. We've made the Lions win a lot,
38:59
obviously, because that's where Glenn came from.
39:01
But I'll, I'll give you two others too.
39:02
The Saints, when Sean Payton first got there too, they were
39:05
considered a poverty franchise for a while.
39:07
They didn't make the playoffs until 1989.
39:09
They made a couple of playoffs appearance since then.
39:11
Obviously Mike Ditka was there. He traded up for Ricky Williams
39:14
and then they Sean Payton to undo all of that and trying to
39:17
make it work. They took a chance on Drew
39:18
Brees, which obviously helped out, but they needed that kind
39:21
of culture change for a team that was a really dysfunctional
39:24
mess in a football culture that's very good.
39:26
They made the playoffs within three years or so.
39:28
They went to the NFC championship game, lost to
39:29
Chicago, and they won a Super Bowl a few years later.
39:32
The other one is the Bills. Recently.
39:34
The Bills, their first two years were not great.
39:36
When they first brought in Sean McDermott, they had a long
39:37
playoff drought. They make the playoffs with
39:39
Tyrod Taylor, Josh Allen's first year.
39:40
They were projected to be one of the worst teams in the AFC, but
39:43
they still believed in each other.
39:44
The Jets need that kind of belief in these players,
39:47
especially the ones that had the, I guess the stench of the
39:51
previous. Result.
39:52
Was it a stench, man? Yes, and a bad one.
39:54
And I think that's where you were talking about a few few
39:56
weeks ago with Sauce Gardner. I think a lot of that the his
39:58
struggles in the beginning. Of this and here's another thing
40:01
before we get into the Penn State.
40:02
Neat story. Here's another thing that really
40:04
bothers me. The Jets over the last five
40:06
years have been a top 10 defense, top 10 defense.
40:11
It doesn't matter who their coordinator was.
40:14
They were a top 10 defense last year.
40:16
They were a top five defense. How do you go from a top five
40:19
defense to not even in a not even a top 20 defense in all of
40:23
football? That's scary.
40:26
And Aaron Glenn has to look at Steve Wilkes and say this guy is
40:30
not my guy. I got to take the reins here.
40:33
I got to be the defensive coordinator.
40:35
I got to play my defensive game. It's worked over there.
40:39
It worked with the Lions. It didn't matter.
40:41
He lost Aidan Hutchinson last year.
40:43
He lost practically his whole front seven.
40:46
He lost like five of his front 7.
40:48
And he still had one of the best defenses in the league.
40:51
And his team still went as far as they did.
40:53
And they were the best team in the NFC last year.
40:57
And one of the reasons why was Aaron Glenn.
40:59
Nobody was scared of Ben Johnson going to Chicago.
41:02
Everybody was happy that Aaron Glenn left the NFC North.
41:08
A lot of coaches, a lot of players said that he gave a lot
41:13
of these offenses problems, problems of sleeping offensive
41:19
coordinators. They couldn't sleep when they
41:21
were playing Aaron Glenn's defense.
41:23
Well, you know that as Aaron, and I know Aaron Glenn wants to
41:25
beat Bill Parcells and he wants to beat.
41:27
He doesn't want to be considered a defensive guy.
41:29
But Steve Wilkes is not your man.
41:32
He's not your man. And the players don't like him.
41:35
They don't like him. It's pretty simple.
41:38
I don't care if he's your best friend, your best buddy, he
41:41
doesn't work. Yeah, I know.
41:44
We were to think that the schematic trajectory to Steve
41:47
Wilkes similar 43 type defense to Sala and then Aaron Glenn is
41:50
trying to bring in kind of a hybrid attacking a little
41:52
different. So I think it's all mixed up all
41:54
at once. I felt bad for Wilkes when the
41:56
Niners randomly fired him. And last year, obviously.
41:58
Obviously deserved. I mean, yeah, but again, the
42:00
Niners going with a friggin special teams coordinators.
42:03
The defensive coordinator maybe wasn't a good idea either.
42:05
Now they have Bambi back. But nevertheless, yeah, there
42:08
comes a point where Aaron Glenn does have to step in and make
42:10
that real first move as a head coach to say I'm taking over
42:13
the. Not bring Steve Wilkes back next
42:15
year. He better not do that.
42:17
That is, that should be rule number one in the offseason.
42:20
Fire Steve Wilkes. That's a rule that has to not be
42:24
broken. All right, that is embarrassing.
42:27
What Steve Wilkes is doing right now is the defensive coordinator
42:30
for the New York Jets. This is a good defense.
42:32
This is a good defense that's failing to be the defense that
42:36
we thought they were going to be with Jermaine Johnson on one
42:38
side and Will McDonald on the other and Quinton Williams in
42:41
the middle, with Phillips, who they added in the offseason that
42:44
everybody thought was an absolute, absolute home run for
42:48
the New York Jets. The Associate Press reports that
42:52
Penn State University has fired head coach James Franklin.
42:57
The move comes after losing their third consecutive game,
43:00
including two straight losses to unranked opponents they were
43:04
favored to beat by over 20 points, the first time that has
43:09
happened since Texas Tech in 1997.
43:13
James Franklin will not be going to to the poor house as he is
43:18
still owed a guarantee $49,000,000, the second largest
43:23
buyout ever, only behind Jimbo Fisher who got 76 million in a
43:29
buyout money from Texas A&M. Penn State spent a school record
43:34
of $20 million in the transfer portal this year.
43:39
After Franklin made comments last year critical of the NIL
43:44
system and now and how the transfer portal has hurt college
43:49
football as a whole, he's not the only one.
43:52
Franklin is likely to have many suitors for his services,
43:57
including power for schools like UCLA, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech
44:01
and Arkansas. Nebraska head coach Matt Rule is
44:05
currently the betting favorite to become Penn State's next head
44:08
coach, followed by Bill O'Brien and Indiana head coach Kurt
44:13
Cignetti. Franklin finished with 104 and
44:19
45 record in 11 1/2 coaching years for Penn State, tied
44:24
second in school history with wins.
44:28
I'm I'm going to say this, I like Coach Franklin.
44:34
I've argued with Fish. I argued with Jake over about a
44:39
week ago. I thought Franklin was going to
44:43
keep his job. I really did.
44:46
He had a bad season. It hasn't looked good.
44:48
The players aren't buying in to the way he is coaching right
44:51
now. That doesn't mean that he
44:53
couldn't clean it up in the off season and turn this team into a
44:56
contender. About a year ago, this team was
45:03
one game away from going to a national championship.
45:07
One game. I remember it like it was
45:11
yesterday. And who did he who beat him?
45:13
Speedy Riley Leonard. Riley Leonard, a friend of ours.
45:18
We all understand that winning means everything in college
45:22
football, and with the money that's given to players and the
45:25
portal that any player can jump in and move wherever he wants in
45:29
the offseason. Yeah, you would expect that
45:34
James Franklin was going to figure this out and make this a
45:37
better winning season. It didn't work out that way.
45:41
Now, maybe it was the fans booing him and and trying to
45:46
find ways to get his contract being bought out.
45:49
I, I don't know. I, I don't know what the truth
45:52
is. I'm not a Penn State guy.
45:54
I don't know. I'm not in the offices over
45:57
there with the program athletic director trying to figure out
46:01
who they're going to bring in next.
46:03
The fact here is James Franklin is going to get another job.
46:07
He is. He is a great coach.
46:09
He's one of the best in the country.
46:12
When you look at a record like this in 11 years, how many
46:17
coaches in NCAA, NCAA history has a record like this one?
46:24
Think about it. I, I just, my argument here
46:28
isn't that he hasn't been good this past year.
46:30
My argument here is he is a quality coach.
46:34
You don't just push a quality coach out like this for no
46:38
reason. And everybody's going to say,
46:39
well, wait a second, they're losing this year.
46:42
He can't win against top end teams.
46:45
He's got a losing record against top and top 20 teams.
46:50
This guy was one game away from being in a national
46:53
championship. And you're going to sit here and
46:56
tell me, well, that doesn't matter, Who cares?
47:01
This guy didn't have a number one quarterback this year.
47:04
I'm sorry, they didn't. I know a lot of people wanted to
47:08
believe that this running game that everybody thought was going
47:11
to be superb, the best in the nation, where they ranked 13th,
47:16
14th in the nation, when they were supposed to be a top two,
47:19
top three running game. Players aren't playing.
47:24
You're going to blame the coaches.
47:26
Is it partially his fault? Yeah, it is.
47:29
You're you're the coach. You take responsibility for it.
47:32
But the fact is, as much as you want to blame the coach, you got
47:37
to blame the players. You're a professional athlete,
47:42
OK? Jabba knows this.
47:45
You go out there, you get signed, you're getting a lot of
47:48
money. The coach goes out there.
47:50
You're a pitcher. Coach goes out there, he works
47:54
with you before the game, you're practicing and you're ready to
47:58
go out there. You go on the mound, you throw 3
48:02
innings and you suck. Who they going to point their
48:07
finger to? Are they going to point their
48:08
finger at the player if he's a superstar player or are they
48:12
going to point him at the coach? They're going to point it at the
48:17
manager. Why?
48:19
Because the first person they want to blame is not the player.
48:23
Because they love the player. They're going to blame the
48:26
coach. Job is in right now.
48:30
That's the job. What's up job?
48:33
No, I I can only imagine moving three houses.
48:37
My problem here with the Penn State situation is pretty
48:40
simple. Who they going to bring in Matt
48:42
rule? What I I know Jabba is a
48:45
Nebraska fan. Matt Rule, what has he won?
48:48
Has he won a national champion, a championship?
48:50
Has he ever played or one game away from winning a national
48:54
championship? The answer would be no, he has
48:56
not been successful. So you're going to take Matt
48:58
Rule over James Franklin? That makes sense.
49:00
OK, so maybe you decide not to go at Matt Roll.
49:03
Bill O'Brien. Now, Bill O'Brien was successful
49:06
over there with Penn State. He was, he was very successful.
49:09
He brought that, that tight end, the dual tight end and the
49:13
running game and all that other stuff and, and they were
49:16
successful. Did they win a national
49:17
championship with with Bill O'Brien?
49:20
No, they did not. Did they play in a national
49:22
championship? No, they did not.
49:25
Were they one game away from a national championship speedy?
49:28
No, they were not. So what is it with everybody
49:33
saying, well, you know what? He had a bad season, so we're
49:35
going to give up on the one guy that was what had the second
49:39
best record in Penn State history, right behind who?
49:44
Speedy Joe Paterno. Joe Paterno, one of the greatest
49:48
coaches in NCAA history, Do you? What nonsense does people have
49:56
here? It's it's lost.
49:58
It's lost for what this guy did this year.
50:01
And the players not buying into his, his, his way of coaching.
50:05
They maybe he picked the wrong players.
50:06
Maybe he picked the wrong running backs, maybe he picked
50:09
the wrong offensive line. Maybe he picked the wrong portal
50:11
guys. Maybe they invested too many,
50:13
too much money, $20 million in the wrong guys.
50:16
That happens. So you're going to give up on a
50:19
guy that was one year away from possibly going to win a national
50:23
championship? I don't want to hear it.
50:26
And I know what everybody's going to tell me.
50:28
The one argument is he can't beat top ten teams.
50:36
I, I just, I don't understand this.
50:39
And that's, that's sports, guys. That's sports.
50:42
That's why I sit here and I'm trying to figure out and I'm
50:45
trying to put two and two together as an analyst and
50:48
analyzing why teams or why coaches get fired.
50:51
It makes no sense. And this and then Bill
50:53
Belichick, I mean, that made no sense why he got fired.
50:57
That made no sense. Robert Kraft was pissed off and
51:00
Tom Brady and him were in an onslaught and onslaught.
51:03
Robert Kraft was pissed off that he had to trade Tom Brady and
51:08
let Tom Brady go to the Buccaneers and that pissed him
51:12
off and that turned him against Bill.
51:14
Bill Belichick. That's what I think.
51:17
I think that's the reason why Bill Belichick was let go was
51:20
because of the whole Tom Brady thing.
51:22
Because Tom Brady won a championship with the Buccaneers
51:24
and he didn't win a championship back with the New England
51:27
Patriots. He made the wrong decision in
51:29
his eyes, Robert Kraft said. And his little P brain is I
51:33
should have fired Bill Belichick and kept Tom Brady.
51:36
Maybe he would have been right, maybe not.
51:39
The fact is you can make these decisions on a whim, and that's
51:44
what I think Penn State did. This could set this team behind
51:50
for the next couple years. Now you're bringing in a new
51:52
coach, a new way of thinking offensively and defensively, and
51:57
that takes three years to develop and and put players in
52:00
your scheme of things. So that means Penn State could
52:04
be bad for the next two or three years.
52:06
I wonder with James Franklin too, because I think him trying
52:10
to go into the transfer portal was a way of trying to elevate a
52:13
job. I wonder if he knew he was
52:14
already like already in trouble based on that.
52:16
Now, last year obviously was a better boost for him.
52:18
They went to the College Football Playoff in the first
52:20
year of the expanded format. But again, where they finished
52:23
is probably about the same as where they finished in the years
52:25
and they they quote UN quote miss just because the the
52:27
platform didn't expand to 4. The analogy I I've made, I know
52:30
you were talking about you and the other people on the panel
52:33
last week were talking about Mike Tomlin is an analogy of Tom
52:36
Coughlin. We heard his analogy.
52:38
The one I wanted to make was Marvin Lewis.
52:40
I think Marvin Lewis was a guy that's really good program
52:42
builder, like you've always said, Errol, one of the best
52:45
player development coaches in the NFL at that fantastic with
52:48
the Cincinnati Bengals. And I think you're seeing that
52:49
same kind of thing here. You look at Penn State, they've
52:51
been a factory of linebackers. They've been a factory, like you
52:53
said, of tight ends that have been very good for a while,
52:55
offensive lineman with Fashanu, with The Jets and other guys
52:58
like that over the years. They've been very good.
53:00
It's just a matter of like getting those concepts into
53:02
college football to be able to adapt to the modern game.
53:05
We saw that in the SEC when the SEC was always that defense
53:07
first conference and running game.
53:10
Some coaches evolved to finally get the quarterbacks there and
53:12
Georgia took a little while for them, but they finally won a
53:15
national championship. Alabama had to evolve to get
53:17
these better quarterbacks to get in there to win national
53:19
championships when they were running with Derrick Henry and
53:21
like AJ McCarron was their was their quarterback.
53:24
Yikes. Like those are the types of
53:26
things you have to evolve to. And I don't know if Franklin did
53:27
that. I was kind of off of him in the
53:29
end of 2023. That was their most talented
53:31
year. That was their best chance
53:32
because Ohio State was down and Michigan, that was the year that
53:35
the scandal hit them and Penn State lost in Michigan that
53:38
year. So that was when I was out on
53:39
him. I agree with you.
53:40
Here's another job. State and I remember that year,
53:43
Michigan was still a good team. They were still at a great
53:46
roster. Penn State at the time was in a
53:48
College Football Playoffs, but they were #3 I believe at the
53:50
time. And then they lost when they had
53:53
the interim coach in. And then they lost another game
53:55
that they shouldn't have lost back to the Michigan State or
53:56
something like that. And I think that's where it
53:58
started to crumble for him. And that's where I think all
54:00
these hot seat questions started to rise with them.
54:02
Now, where they go after that, I think Cignetti would be the best
54:04
choice because Indiana was a similarly rising pro, was a
54:07
similarly struggling program. They had one Goodyear in the
54:09
COVID year and Cignetti's done a great job with that team since.
54:12
Then I think you go Bill O'Brien.
54:14
OK? I don't think that's where you
54:16
go. Yeah, I I like that idea too.
54:17
Obviously, there's a lot of familiarity there.
54:19
I just think the concepts do have to change though, and I
54:21
wonder if they go with a different type of style.
54:23
Like you saw these SEC teams too.
54:24
There's going to be a lot of like quarterback type coaches
54:26
out there because their quarterbacks hurt now.
54:27
But it's going to take three years.
54:30
You're going to have to completely change this whole
54:32
roster. Whoever he the, the, the, the
54:35
team brings in the, the, the program director, the sports
54:39
director decides to bring in. You're bringing in a new guy
54:43
that has a completely different way he's going to run this
54:46
roster and run this team. So now you're set back.
54:49
You're, you're taking a step back again.
54:52
Penn State When was the last time they won a national
54:54
championship? In the 80s with Paterno.
54:55
There you go. And they were one game away from
54:59
going to a national championship and then they're just going to
55:02
part ways with the guy that got him there.
55:04
And that's why college football's different.
55:06
And I think Carl's mentioning that very well in the comment
55:07
section before you go Java, he's mentioning how you should, you
55:11
could question who they brought in because the there's not a lot
55:13
of continuity because college players, because they change so
55:16
much. And obviously college football
55:17
different in the NFL, you need to have that right type of right
55:20
type of thing. But it's also not as much the
55:21
coaches, the power as much as just the recruiting and the NIL
55:24
money that they're going to have too.
55:26
And that's where I think, frankly, it does have maybe to
55:27
go to a team like UCLA or something like that and still
55:29
rebirth his image. And I think when it comes to
55:33
Penn State, though, they have to get the identity changed to not
55:35
be the same, like running in defense, I think.
55:37
You're right like on the on the three-year deal with whoever it
55:40
is and that's kind of going into with with rule.
55:42
How you know it's been the three-year thing with him at
55:45
Temple Baylor. We've obviously seen it hasn't
55:47
really translated in the NFL. It's it's like wildfire here
55:52
right now with the fact that he went to Penn State was a walk on
55:56
three time academic, all American.
55:57
His family's still there and his best friend is the AD.
56:00
There's a lot of stuff going that way.
56:02
And I've heard a lot of it had actually a couple conversations
56:05
about it today. And it's, I mean, it's a win win
56:08
for him personally, if it if it works, Obviously you don't know.
56:13
But yeah, he it's that it's that time right now for us because
56:17
it's his third year here and obviously we're ranked.
56:20
Everybody was still moaning and groaning about the fact that
56:24
since he is is 1 ahead of us and we beat since he, but I mean,
56:28
we're just ranked. So we're we're excited about
56:30
that. But yeah, I think there's
56:32
probably other factors that are going to play into this.
56:36
But I think if if rule wants the job, he it it'd be his former
56:42
player. Obviously great standing in the
56:44
community was like there. I mean, he started his coaching
56:47
career there, ended up, you know, obviously moving forward
56:52
with a bunch of I just don't think though, if if he said I
56:56
want to go there, that they would kind of turn the other
56:58
cheek and go somewhere else. But like I said, it's it's
57:02
anything here when we're finally successful or semi successful or
57:06
having a winning record for us is meaning we've been successful
57:08
lately. But it's kind of the way Penn
57:11
State feels right now too. And that that's kind of rules.
57:15
MO is that rule of three, like seeing what he did at Baylor,
57:18
seeing what he did at Temple and you know, the third year is kind
57:20
of when it turns around. So I I don't know, it's been
57:24
it's been funny listening to talk radio here as as I've just
57:26
been in the truck going back and forth everywhere today and you
57:29
know, people's panties are all in a bunch around here.
57:31
You know it's. You know it's.
57:33
We were. There's three of us and we all
57:35
have different coaches that we believe could could get the job.
57:37
I have Bill O'Brien, you got the Indiana coach and he's got that
57:41
rule. That's why I think should get
57:42
it. I don't know if he will, but I'm
57:43
actually going to reveal it later who I think they who are
57:45
they will. I'm getting in our final
57:46
segment. It's going to be a bold one, but
57:48
I that's what I think they should have go because these
57:50
guys that has big 10 familiarity too and Java.
57:52
It's interesting. I don't know if you saw this on
57:54
Twitter like that. A lot of people are saying, oh,
57:56
why would they go after Matt Rule when he's the other one
57:57
that hasn't won big games like you're gonna recycle type thing,
58:00
even though it's a different philosophy all together.
58:03
Yeah, and Fish said it too. It's like he was he was part of
58:06
the question about not winning against ranked teams and
58:09
whatever. So yeah, it's I it's 6 1/2 dozen
58:12
to the other, right? Which way do you go?
58:13
That's it for our show. A shout out to Java.
58:17
He's moving three houses. He he actually showed up for a
58:20
little bit of the baseball segment.
58:22

58:25

59:22

59:25
were asked to go on the Believe network and I decided two years
59:29
ago, me and Speedy, I decided not to go on the believe network
59:32

59:34
We were going to talk a little Nick's basketball at that point.
59:38
But believe is doing some amazing things or a good podcast
