  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the program here on
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio AM thirteen Under the Zone.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: My name is Craig Way. Thanks so much for joining us.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: US, of course, includes the producer of the program, Cameron D.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Parker.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: in his favorite pro football team that has packed away
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the gear for the season. Now we kind of sit
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and waite, and does Cameron hold his breath to see
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: if Mike McCarthy's going to return as head coach, or
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: will Jerry Jones grant the Chicago Bears permission to talk
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and visit and interview McCarthy about their head coaching vacancy,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and if that doesn't work out, will the Jaguars or
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Saints make a play for him.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You're in a lot of suspense on this, aren't you going?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's just killing me. I'm dying over here, Craig. Good afternoon, Yeah,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: good afternoon. All right.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So we'll do just a quick for instance here. Let's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: say that for whatever reason, Mike McCarthy leaves, say he's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: done with him, or he grants the Bears permission to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: visit with him, and the Bears are from the job,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but he takes the job or whatever that he's nun
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Who do you want to be the next head coach
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Who I want? I mean, I would love like Mike Frable,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: but I just I don't think. Let's say the Patriots
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: hire him, which seems to be the watch gold and
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: maybe Ben Johnson, but he seems like a Chicago guy
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: in that division. Outside of that, I don't I don't
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: know where you go. I mean, I like blind Brian Floores.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: But the Jerry's track record with hires, it's all right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Either it's some dude that's already won a Super Bowl.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: So that scares me because on the backside of his career, Yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: because then that leads me to think, boy, John Gruden,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: is that someone that Jerry would go after? Wow, because
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: he's He's never really hired an up and coming coordinator, right,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I mean Jason Garrett, I would not say is up
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: and coming. He was just a OC for the Cowboys
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: when Wade Philips let go right before that. Before at Phillips,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it was obviously what's his name that was with the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Jets before Belichick, Well, what's his name that was?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: The other guys I think about them were coaches for
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Head coaches guys like Parcels Yeah, okay, all right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: or as Jerry used to call him, Bill Purcelles, sales.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I think of guys like Chan Gaily and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, there there were lots of men, right, Yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of those guys who were company men.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: So but isn't there the reasonable expectation that whomever Jerry
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: hires is going to have to be a company man exactly?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And that's why I wonder, like, is this really an
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: attractive job for the head coaches? Like McCarthy was out
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of football for a year. I think he was kind
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of like begging to get back into coaching. Now I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: kind of surprised that the Bears want to interview him,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and I wouldn't be surprised we see the Saints or Jaguars.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: But you know, I think, I don't know, is there
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: a number of coaches teams are supposed to interview at least, right,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and so are they just fulfilling that quota by getting
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: guys like McCarthy. I mean, Mike Gundy interviewed for a
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: head coaching job at one point in the NFL. Mike
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Mike Gundy. So I don't know if there's anything really
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to put into this. So the Bears requesting the interview him,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: but in terms of if McCarthy does go, whether it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: fired or he leaves on his own, because I can't
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: imagine the Cowboys would accept the Bear's permission or request
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to interview. I mean, why would you let your head
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: coach interview for another job if you want to keep
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: him back for another year. Now they're ready to part ways,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: why not go ahead and part ways with him yesterday? Again,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: this goes back to how Jerry Jones thinks again, Membory,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: He's he's got a big acting career going on right
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: now with Lambsman, right, He's got to focus on his
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: acting career. Season two filming soon, all that good stuff.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Correct. It's a good question. Who would I want? I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: think is vast different than who Jerry Jones would want
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: as a head coach.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I would I.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Would love to have. I would have loved to have Belichick.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I would have loved to have Mike Frabel. But I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: don't see Mike Frabel wanting to come coach for the Cowboys.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Rabel would be a really good candidate.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: But I don't.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think Rabel would count himself is a real
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: good He does not strike me as the kind of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: guy who would want to be the so called Jerry
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Jones company man. He does not strike me as that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: kind of guy. He'd rather be a company man for
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Bob Kraft because he played for all those years for
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, and Kraft knows him and he is I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: found it interesting what Kraft said yesterday, how he put
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Gerrod Mayo in what he called an untenable position, that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to be a head coach, and they put
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: him there and said, now he's got to fire it
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: because of that. Okay, if it was your mistake, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he said, those were the words, this was my mistake.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: This is on me.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, why don't you give him a chance to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: grow in the position and see what he can do. Yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they forced that way too early, Craig. I mean, obviously
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Mail was not ready to be a head coach, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: now they're dealing with the consequences.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But they get Mike Frable.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: It might work out for them because I think Frable,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: obviously he's a better head coach than drowd mail at
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: this point because see fre able to take a Tennessee
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: team with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback and the AFFC Championship.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Game Yep, yep. So it's that Patriot.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Way and all that stuff connections with Foxborough and so
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see where it goes here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: All Right, I just wanted to start with a little
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: bit of the NFL because what we're gonna do during
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a large measure of today's programs to let you hear
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: from long horn players and also a little bit from
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Steve sarkaishan coming up. We're going to do that. There
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: was a little bit of sark sound we didn't get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to yesterday. I want to get to that. We'll do that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But you're going to hear from Matthew Golden. You're going
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to hear from some other Longhorn offensive players. Yesterday we
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: heard from defensive players. You'll hear from some offensive player
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Jake Majors, the Longhorn center, you'll hear from them, Gunner
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Helm on the Titan, and of course the quarterback. You'll
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: hear from quin Ewers that's coming up at the four
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour. You'll hear from viewers in Helm and Kelvin
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Banks in the four o'clock hour. But we've got some
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: other Longhorn players we're going to get to. And we
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: are also going to take a take a close look
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: at the upcoming NFL playoffs.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: We'll do that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We're also going to take an upcoming look at the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: college football playoffs down to the semifinal round. Almost, Cameron
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: at almost seems like an after thought that there's another
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: college football playoff semifinal before this and I and the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: only reason why I say that is I say that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in this town because everyone is dialed into Texas Ohio State,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and I would imagine it's the same thing in Columbus, Ohio,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: where folks are dialed into Ohio State and Texas, but
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Penn State. Two blue blood programs will
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: meet in Miami Gardens, Florida there at and what was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it called hard Rock Stadium, the Rock Cafe Stadium, Yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night in the Orange Bowl game.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And it did look for a while.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: As though there was the possibility when these playoffs were
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: first starting, based on and we were thinking about higher
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: seeds advancing that Texas might wind up if there was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: an upset, But not all of the top four seeds
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: who drew first round bys getting knocked out. If that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: had not happened, but one or two of the higher
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: seeds that Texas might actually have to wind up going
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to Miami and play in the Orange Bowl. That's not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the case. So they're in Arlington. I on purpose. Make
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: sure I'm not saying Dallas. I know that's the way
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: National TV in National Bee was that either going to Dallas.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They're going to.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Arlington is eighteen miles west of Dallas. It's in entirely
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: different county. It's in Terran County. There's a reason Jerry
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Jones had that stadium built there because it was going
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to work out money. By same thing with the Texas
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Rangers when they first moved down from Washington all the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: way back in nineteen seventy one, my broadcast mentor Bill
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Mercer told me that there was very little consideration of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: build a major league ballpark in Dallas, and so the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: old Turnpike Stadium there in Arlington seemed to be a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: logical home.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And that's where it wound up.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: The Mavericks and Stars are playing in Dallas because they
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: had originally Reunion Arenup built for that purpose and then
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the American Airline Center. But it's Arlington for the Cowboys
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and Rangers. By the way, Cam speaking, which marked this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on your calendar, that a week from this Thursday, No,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: two weeks from this Thursday, So sixteen days from now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: two weeks from this Thursday, the Texas Rangers Caravan is
• 8:39

  Speaker 1: would act urne interest. The Rangers Caravan will be back
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: here in the Greater Austin area. Will be a Dell
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Diamond around Rock. But anyway, the Loghorns play the Ohio
