- 0:32Speaker 3: busy two hours ahead. Doug Peterson out as the Jaguars
- 0:36Speaker 3: head coach. Trent Balkey stays as the Jaguars general manager.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Owners shot Con met with the media earlier. We'll hear
- 0:44Speaker 3: him coming up. We'll have, of course, Pete Briscoe and
- 0:46Speaker 3: Tony Boselli for an entire show of keeping it Real
- 0:50Speaker 3: today and fanatics fan questions, and we'll go around the
- 0:54Speaker 3: National Football League. Doug Peterson out as the head coach.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Trent Balkey is still in as the g owner. Shot
- 1:01Speaker 3: Con put out a statement this morning at around eight
- 1:03Speaker 3: twenty am saying that Balky and the others close to
- 1:07Speaker 3: the organization would hire a leader who shares his ambition
- 1:11Speaker 3: and quote is ready to seize the extraordinary opportunity. The
- 1:15Speaker 3: full statement available at Jaguars dot com. This afternoon though,
- 1:20Speaker 3: Jaguars owners shot con meeting with the media, and what
- 1:23Speaker 3: was it about the coaching that needed change?
- 1:26Speaker 4: Obviously, we made the playoffs. We're in the division game.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Last year we started off eighty three and then went
- 1:33Speaker 4: one in five, okay, and didn't make the playoff. Was
- 1:36Speaker 4: the winning season, but didn't make the playoffs. And after that,
- 1:41Speaker 4: you know, I started really right in Nashville, sat down
- 1:46Speaker 4: with Doug, Okay.
- 1:46Speaker 5: What are we going to do?
- 1:48Speaker 4: And he identified, you know, on the defensive side, we
- 1:52Speaker 4: needed to change the staff and saw and as the
- 1:56Speaker 4: season you know progress, obviously we weren't doing well. We
- 2:02Speaker 4: were close like yesterday, but not close enough to win
- 2:06Speaker 4: the game. And then as I spoke to you know,
- 2:13Speaker 4: Doug even last week for a good length of time,
- 2:17Speaker 4: you know, I just came to the conclusion what we
- 2:19Speaker 4: were doing was not working and a change in direction
- 2:24Speaker 4: was needed.
- 2:24Speaker 3: That shot con will hear more from him coming up.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Trent Balkey on the Zoom conversation with the media as well,
- 2:29Speaker 3: asked if he's surprised he's still the general manager.
- 2:33Speaker 5: I don't know if.
- 2:34Speaker 6: Surprised is the right word. You know, that's ultimately that's
- 2:37Speaker 6: not my decision. That's the decision of ownership, and I
- 2:40Speaker 6: certainly respect the decision that's been made and don't take
- 2:44Speaker 6: the job lightly. The real fact, the bottom line is
- 2:47Speaker 6: we weren't productive on the field. We didn't win enough games,
- 2:50Speaker 6: and I don't shy away from there. I'm just as
- 2:52Speaker 6: responsible as anybody else. And you know, all we can
- 2:56Speaker 6: do now is roll up our sleeves and go to work.
- 2:58Speaker 2: More from Trent Balke GM coming up as well.
- 3:01Speaker 3: We're on Tenson XL, Jaguars dot com, Jaguars YouTube, JP,
- 3:05Speaker 3: Shadwick with Pro Football Hall of Fame left tackle Tony
- 3:07Speaker 3: Bisselli in studio with US Today and Pete Prisco, CBS
- 3:11Speaker 3: Sports senior writer down in South Florida.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Pete. How are you, uh well?
- 3:18Speaker 7: Wow?
- 3:19Speaker 8: Well, interesting day around the city of Jacksonville. I love
- 3:24Speaker 8: I love when when Trent says he's as responsible as
- 3:27Speaker 8: anybody else. Well, clearly he isn't because he didn't get fired,
- 3:29Speaker 8: so he's not. I mean, the finger was pointed at
- 3:33Speaker 8: the coach and coaching staff. It wasn't pointed at the
- 3:35Speaker 8: general manager.
- 3:36Speaker 9: So you know, from my standpoint, you guys know how
- 3:40Speaker 9: I feel.
- 3:40Speaker 8: I am astounded they didn't just get rid of everybody.
- 3:44Speaker 8: And if you're gonna get rid of Doug Peterson, why
- 3:47Speaker 8: not get rid of everybody. That's the way I felt
- 3:50Speaker 8: about it. And and it didn't happen, and he's still
- 3:53Speaker 8: there for now. And the reason I say for now,
- 3:57Speaker 8: we don't know how long he's gonna be there. We
- 4:00Speaker 8: don't know if he's just being kept to be a
- 4:03Speaker 8: conduit through the interview process. You know, Look, Sead Cohn
- 4:06Speaker 8: doesn't know a lot of people in the NFL. He
- 4:09Speaker 8: doesn't know how to conduct an interview process. And I
- 4:13Speaker 8: think he's gonna lean on Trent Balke for that. The
- 4:16Speaker 8: problem becomes if he leans on Trent Balkey too much
- 4:20Speaker 8: and Trent Balke influences the process, and by that.
- 4:24Speaker 9: I mean gets one of his guys in there.
- 4:27Speaker 8: And if that's the case, that's never good for the organization.
- 4:30Speaker 8: And that's why I think it's gonna be a problem
- 4:33Speaker 8: the way it's being structured. And here's the other thing.
- 4:35Speaker 8: Trent Balkey has one year left on his deal. As
- 4:37Speaker 8: I was told he was asked today. Shod Cohn was
- 4:40Speaker 8: asked today about the contract extension. Well, don't you think
- 4:45Speaker 8: that's something that a coach coming in for an interview,
- 4:47Speaker 8: is gonna need to know. If I'm interviewing in Jacksonville,
- 4:51Speaker 8: I need to know what the plan is for Trent
- 4:53Speaker 8: Palky I And the word is it's gonna be a
- 4:57Speaker 8: coach centric organization. And we talked about that before. The
- 5:01Speaker 8: coach is gonna have the juice in the building. It's
- 5:03Speaker 8: gonna be he's the guy. And if that's the case,
- 5:06Speaker 8: and you see a guy you really like and he
- 5:09Speaker 8: doesn't like Trent Balkey, but he has somebody else he'd
- 5:11Speaker 8: like to get in there, then go get the guy.
- 5:14Speaker 8: You can't let Trent Balkey influence you from making the
- 5:18Speaker 8: right decision for the franchise.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Tony Boselli, Good afternoon, Good afternoon, Pete.
- 5:25Speaker 7: I hear you. I did the one area I take
- 5:29Speaker 7: a little bit of an issue with and disagree with
- 5:31Speaker 7: for you to say shot Con doesn't know a lot
- 5:33Speaker 7: of people. He's been an owner in this league since
- 5:35Speaker 7: twenty twelve.
- 5:36Speaker 8: That guy I always leaned on people I handle the
- 5:40Speaker 8: interview for us.
- 5:40Speaker 7: That's not true. He led the whole process last year
- 5:44Speaker 7: and interviewed like fifteen people whatever it was, and everyone
- 5:46Speaker 7: complained that it was too long and he was being
- 5:50Speaker 7: too thorough and talking to too many people. And I
- 5:52Speaker 7: know for a fact because I've talked to agents. They know,
- 5:55Speaker 7: they pick up the phone, shots talked to them. Like,
- 5:58Speaker 7: so to say Shot does not know people now, I
- 6:01Speaker 7: just think is wildly wrong, Like way off base. I'm
- 6:07Speaker 7: just telling you, if you would have said this in
- 6:09Speaker 7: if you would have said this in twenty twelve, twenty fifteen, Okay,
- 6:12Speaker 7: maybe this is twenty twenty five. He's gone through multiple coaches,
- 6:16Speaker 7: multiple gms, been to the playoffs, He's on owner committees,
- 6:20Speaker 7: He's like leads around international. He doesn't know the owners, Tony,
- 6:26Speaker 7: he knows the coaches, he knows he's around. Now, look,
- 6:31Speaker 7: I'm just.
- 6:31Speaker 9: Telling nobody to run the interview process for him. I'm not.
- 6:37Speaker 7: That's a different conversation. Like a lot of owners hire
- 6:43Speaker 7: firms to run the process. Jets Jets are doing.
- 6:48Speaker 8: You Noe who I work with, and Mike Tannenbaum, who's
- 6:51Speaker 8: the former.
- 6:53Speaker 9: Jet GM.
- 6:54Speaker 7: So I'm gonna say something that's gonna seem like I'm
- 6:56Speaker 7: taking a shot at Tannabond and Spielman. Okay, and I'm not.
- 7:01Speaker 9: Yad, I take shots Atrix Fieldman all the time.
- 7:03Speaker 7: Why would Why are they any more qualified to lead
- 7:05Speaker 7: a search than Trent Balke. Let me ask you a question.
- 7:09Speaker 7: How many Super Bowls has either of those tea guys
- 7:13Speaker 7: took a team to? The answer zero? Just for the record,
- 7:17Speaker 7: how many AFC or NFC Championships have they taken a
- 7:21Speaker 7: team to? Built a team that went to.
- 7:23Speaker 10: Those stealing and went to a couple okay super Bowls?
- 7:27Speaker 10: Never no championship games, yeah, but never super Bowls. Tam Mom,
- 7:31Speaker 10: I don't think it's done either. No, okay, love or hate.
- 7:36Speaker 10: And I've been pretty much honest as far as my.
- 7:43Speaker 7: Praise and criticism of Trent Balky as Jim, I try
- 7:46Speaker 7: to be down the line. When he does something I
- 7:48Speaker 7: disagree with, I say I disagree with, never personal. When
- 7:51Speaker 7: I say he does something good like the Walker Little,
- 7:54Speaker 7: I think it was a great deal, did a great job,
- 7:55Speaker 7: I said, great job. But the bottom line, and the
- 8:00Speaker 7: dude has taken was built a team that went to
- 8:03Speaker 7: three straight NFC championship games, went to a Super Bowl,
- 8:08Speaker 7: came here was part of the process of building the
- 8:12Speaker 7: team that went to the playoffs in twenty twenty two
- 8:15Speaker 7: and was eight and three. And I'm not saying I
- 8:18Speaker 7: agree with everything of them, But why Pete is Spielman
- 8:21Speaker 7: and Tannybaum any more qualified than Trent Balke to lead
- 8:26Speaker 7: a search Because at the end of the day, and
- 8:29Speaker 7: this is one thing I know about Seat Khan, I've
- 8:31Speaker 7: known him since twenty twelve. I've had multiple sit downs
- 8:34Speaker 7: with them in conversations. He is going to make the decision.
- 8:40Speaker 7: He will listen, he will go through the process. But
- 8:44Speaker 7: I don't care if you're Trent Balky, Tony BISSELLI, you know,
- 8:47Speaker 7: Mark Lamping, J. P. Shadwick, Pete Briscoe, you know Donald
- 8:52Speaker 7: Trump could give all their opinions. Sean khn is going
- 8:56Speaker 7: to make the decision of who the next head coach is.
- 9:00Speaker 7: I have no issue Trance the GM. He decided that
- 9:05Speaker 7: Trent has done a good enough job and we can
- 9:07Speaker 7: we can break down whether we agree or not with that,
- 9:10Speaker 7: and Trent's gonna run the process. I don't see why
- 9:14Speaker 7: that is any different Pete than Spielman or Tannybomb being
- 9:18Speaker 7: hired by Woody Johnson to run the process.
- 9:23Speaker 9: Who who kidnapped Tony Bli tonight? Who is in your body?
- 9:28Speaker 9: What the hell?
- 9:30Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 9:35Speaker 7: Broke up?
- 9:36Speaker 3: Would say the question I would have and we'll get
- 9:38Speaker 3: back to Pete the second when he gets what the
- 9:40Speaker 3: hell are.
- 9:41Speaker 9: You talking about? What are you talking about?
- 9:44Speaker 7: You are you are saying he shouldn't run the search,
- 9:47Speaker 7: but you're fine with Spielman and Tanning Bomb running the
- 9:49Speaker 7: sports for the Jets. What's the difference is my question?
- 9:53Speaker 8: Well, I don't think Spielman particularly, don't think Tann Bomb
- 9:56Speaker 8: should be running the start.
- 9:57Speaker 9: He was fired by the team, damn like fire.
- 10:00Speaker 8: Hey, you know what, Doug Peterson knows a lot of
- 10:02Speaker 8: people in the NFL and a lot of coaches. Did
- 10:04Speaker 8: Jack Wyers should bring back Peterson and allow him to
- 10:07Speaker 8: run this?
- 10:08Speaker 7: I didn't any I didn't say that.
- 10:10Speaker 8: It doesn't It doesn't make any sense at all. But
- 10:15Speaker 8: I also think that's the reason why he's keeping Bulky around.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I don't think it is. Here's a question I have.
- 10:21Speaker 7: I don't think I guess that where I'm disagreeing with
- 10:24Speaker 7: you your premise of why he's getting around. I disagree
- 10:26Speaker 7: with that.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Is there any reservations for audio work?
- 10:31Speaker 3: Is there any reservations that potential coaches might have considering
- 10:35Speaker 3: the track record that Bulky had after Harball?
- 10:39Speaker 7: Yes?
- 10:39Speaker 2: In San Francisco.
- 10:40Speaker 7: I think that whether it's reality or perception that is
- 10:43Speaker 7: out there, and like we're being I would I think
- 10:46Speaker 7: we'd be disingenuous not to say that. Now you can
- 10:50Speaker 7: argue whether it's true or not, but the perception out there,
- 10:54Speaker 7: and I've heard it, and Pete you've heard it. And
- 10:56Speaker 7: you go through the list of coaches from the forty
- 10:59Speaker 7: nine to the Jaguars. I think it's funny about the
- 11:03Speaker 7: Urban Meyer because that was seag cons but higher, I mean, he.
- 11:08Speaker 9: Was the g.
- 11:14Speaker 7: Okay, let's not go down. I've tried to forget about
- 11:18Speaker 7: Urban Meyer ever existing in this organization, so let's not
- 11:21Speaker 7: bring it up. But anyways, going through that list, there's
- 11:25Speaker 7: no doubt that if you talk to people around the league,
- 11:30Speaker 7: the perception is that Trent Balky ram these people out
- 11:37Speaker 7: and did a poor job and had confrontations and conflict
- 11:41Speaker 7: between the front office and the head and the coaching staff.
- 11:44Speaker 7: There's no doubt about it. That's the perception, that's the talk,
- 11:48Speaker 7: and and Pete has heard it. I've heard it. There
- 11:53Speaker 7: are individuals who say they will not come to an
- 11:55Speaker 7: organization if Trent Baulky is a gym. Pete, is that accurate?
- 12:00Speaker 9: Correct?
- 12:01Speaker 7: Okay? I actually think that.
- 12:03Speaker 9: By the way, I don't necessarily always.
- 12:05Speaker 7: Believe that that's where I was going.
- 12:09Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't necessarily believe that.
- 12:11Speaker 9: Just depends on how it's structured in the organization.
- 12:14Speaker 8: For example, if I'm a coach and Shod con tells me, look,
- 12:19Speaker 8: you're going to have control inside this building, you're gonna
- 12:23Speaker 8: answer to me that you can bring in one of
- 12:26Speaker 8: your guys and and kind of go over the top
- 12:29Speaker 8: and make Trent a personnel guy or something. If he
- 12:31Speaker 8: stays in the building, then I'm not I'll let it
- 12:35Speaker 8: work for a year because I know I'm gonna make
- 12:37Speaker 8: it work and he's gonna be gone after a season
- 12:39Speaker 8: if I don't get along with him.
- 12:41Speaker 9: That's what I would do.
- 12:42Speaker 8: So I would if I'm a coach out there, I'm
- 12:45Speaker 8: coming for the interview.
- 12:47Speaker 9: I'm gonna listen to Shod Cohn.
- 12:49Speaker 8: I look at this job, and I think this job
- 12:52Speaker 8: is fantastic. When you look at it from an owner
- 12:56Speaker 8: that doesn't really meddle, it's probably two hands off. Sometimes
- 13:03Speaker 8: willing to spend money. I mean, let's be real. The
- 13:05Speaker 8: general manager who's in plays right now spent a bootload
- 13:08Speaker 8: of his money and got no return on investment, but
- 13:09Speaker 8: he allowed him to do it. You got a new stadium,
- 13:13Speaker 8: you have a new facility, you have no state incometack.
- 13:18Speaker 9: You have a court developed into one.
- 13:20Speaker 8: Heck of a player provided you put the right offensive
- 13:22Speaker 8: building around them. So what's that to love about the job. So,
- 13:25Speaker 8: if I'm anybody anybody out there, I'm coming to listen.
- 13:29Speaker 8: But if I come and listen and I hear all
- 13:31Speaker 8: the things that I that I wanted to hear, and
- 13:35Speaker 8: I say to shod Con look it's great and all.
- 13:37Speaker 8: I want this job, and I know you want me,
- 13:40Speaker 8: but I ain't working with him making the football decisions
- 13:43Speaker 8: above me. He's got to go or I'm come and
- 13:47Speaker 8: then Shot ultimately will have a decision to make. Does
- 13:49Speaker 8: he let the coach he truly wants out the door
- 13:51Speaker 8: to keep a general manager who's quite frankly hanging by
- 13:56Speaker 8: a thread. So that's what it's ultimately gonna come down to.
- 13:59Speaker 8: But I'm with you, Tony. If I'm a coach this league,
- 14:03Speaker 8: I'm coming in for the interview. If that's I have
- 14:05Speaker 8: a ten times better option somewhere else, well.
- 14:07Speaker 7: That okay there So, and Pete, your internet's going a
- 14:10Speaker 7: little bit in and out. But I got what you said.
- 14:13Speaker 7: So what you're saying is my my perspective as well.
- 14:18Speaker 7: A lot of people will say I'm not taking the
- 14:21Speaker 7: job because Trent Balky's the gym or whoever's the gym.
- 14:24Speaker 7: But in this case, it's Trent. Let's just call it.
- 14:26Speaker 7: That's the that's the word out there, it's on X,
- 14:28Speaker 7: it's I've had phone calls today. I mean petez, I
- 14:32Speaker 7: mean it's out there. Whatever I always say, I call
- 14:39Speaker 7: cow poop. Well, I can't say the other word run.
- 14:43Speaker 7: Can I say the other words?
- 14:44Speaker 2: You cannot?
- 14:44Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, so I call you know what. Because here's
- 14:48Speaker 7: the deal. There's only thirty two of these jobs. There's
- 14:51Speaker 7: only right now five open. I think the Raiders job
- 14:53Speaker 7: opens up, so I'll be six. There always is the
- 14:58Speaker 7: one or two hot candidates all the one who's hotter
- 15:01Speaker 7: than you know, a firecracker, and I is Ben Johnson.
- 15:04Speaker 7: I think Ben Johnson's one hell of a play caller,
- 15:07Speaker 7: an offensive coordinator. If you wanted me put gun to head.
- 15:11Speaker 7: Do I think he's gonna be a great head coach?
- 15:13Speaker 7: I think, but I don't know because it's a completely
- 15:16Speaker 7: different skill set.
- 15:18Speaker 2: So before we all do you.
- 15:21Speaker 7: Know, backflips and you know freak out about Ben Johnson
- 15:26Speaker 7: and the rumors are he won't do this or that,
- 15:29Speaker 7: like slow your role? What's interview? Because I agree with Pete.
- 15:34Speaker 7: I think everyone's gonna take an interview, and I think
- 15:39Speaker 7: and Ben Johnson very well might be a great head
- 15:41Speaker 7: coach because he's a hell of a hell of an
- 15:44Speaker 7: offensive coordinator. I mean one hell of an offensive coordinator.
- 15:47Speaker 7: But until you have that interview now, because Ben Johnson
- 15:51Speaker 7: is such a hot candidate and probably will have multiple offers,
- 15:55Speaker 7: could someone like that use that leverage to say, hey,
- 15:59Speaker 7: I'm only coming if I can bring my guy. Possibly,
- 16:03Speaker 7: But then he's have to do that in Chicago because
- 16:05Speaker 7: Ryan Pole's is staying. He'd have to do it here
- 16:08Speaker 7: because Trent Balky's a GM. Right now, Uh, what's the
- 16:13Speaker 7: other open job you have? New England. They're not getting
- 16:17Speaker 7: rid of their GM. He's new he's praying. That's my point.
- 16:21Speaker 7: So if Ben Johnson wants.
- 16:22Speaker 8: His GYM Ryot Poles, Ryan Poles isn't calling the shots
- 16:25Speaker 8: in Chicago, so they could get rid of them.
- 16:27Speaker 7: And right now I get that people. Right now, there's
- 16:31Speaker 7: not any of these jobs. He's not taking the Saints job.
- 16:34Speaker 7: It's the worst job in America because the cap issues
- 16:36Speaker 7: they have. No one wants that job.
- 16:38Speaker 9: And a bad quarterback I get it, And so a quarterback.
- 16:41Speaker 7: Yeah, could Ben Johnson. He's probably the one candidate that
- 16:46Speaker 7: can have that leverage if he really wanted it.
- 16:50Speaker 9: But here's what if he's.
- 16:51Speaker 8: The guy that wants to and if he's the guy
- 16:52Speaker 8: you want, then you got to give him the leverage.
- 16:55Speaker 7: But that's only if you after you interview him, Pete,
- 16:57Speaker 7: you say he's right, not only a great offense coordinator,
- 17:00Speaker 7: he's gonna be a great head coach because being a
- 17:02Speaker 7: head coach, because being a head coach is a different
- 17:06Speaker 7: skill set than being an offensive coordinator.
- 17:10Speaker 8: Correct, But that's why shot led left the door open
- 17:13Speaker 8: on Balky not being here. He did and making he.
- 17:17Speaker 11: Said that he should say he said that lateness. He
- 17:19Speaker 11: said it late in his press conference. Yes, we've got
- 17:22Speaker 11: plenty ahead. Obviously, we're here until six o'clock. We've got
- 17:25Speaker 11: plenty of discuss We'll hear more from shot con from
- 17:28Speaker 11: earlier today, Trent Balkey as well, and the locker room
- 17:31Speaker 11: was open today after the news. We'll hear from some
- 17:34Speaker 11: of the players as they cleaned out their lockers after
- 17:37Speaker 11: the final day of the regular season. Jack's fans want

- 17:49Speaker 3: We're off and running on the final Jaguars Happy Hour
- 17:52Speaker 3: the season, presented by Jet Home Loans.
- 18:01Speaker 4: You know, I don't think that's really you know, relevant.
- 18:06Speaker 4: I think what's important is the structure we've had, you know,
- 18:13Speaker 4: and you know it's work, which is both you know,
- 18:16Speaker 4: Doug and Freend reporting to me and and that way,
- 18:21Speaker 4: you know, if there are issues that can be addressed openly,
- 18:25Speaker 4: you know, honestly, you know, Doug was there this morning
- 18:29Speaker 4: at MAC.
- 18:31Speaker 5: He spoke to the players.
- 18:32Speaker 4: I mean, you know that there's no disharmony or you know,
- 18:37Speaker 4: as far as that goes. So and you know, whoever
- 18:41Speaker 4: a new head coach is, you know, it's going to
- 18:44Speaker 4: be my job that Similarly, our job is to support
- 18:48Speaker 4: the head coach of what Trent is doing, what I'm doing,
- 18:53Speaker 4: the rest of.
- 18:53Speaker 5: The people are doing. I really like, you.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Know, service providers and serving the head coach to succeed.
- 19:01Speaker 3: That's Jaguars owner's Shod Khan when asked if Trent Balky's
- 19:04Speaker 3: getting an extension as part of all this, that was
- 19:07Speaker 3: the answer J D. Shadwick, Tony VASSELLI, Pete Prisco with us.
- 19:11Speaker 3: We'll get back with him coming up some technical things.
- 19:13Speaker 3: We'll get back to me.
- 19:14Speaker 7: Did you take that answer as a non answer? Yes, yeah,
- 19:17Speaker 7: I did too. Which is I mean, which is the
- 19:20Speaker 7: right way to answer it?
- 19:21Speaker 3: By the way, especially if it's a no, then you
- 19:23Speaker 3: don't want to say no, he's not getting one.
- 19:25Speaker 7: I don't know if it's no or not. And I
- 19:27Speaker 7: don't know actually what his contract situation is, and.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I Pete seems to claim it.
- 19:32Speaker 7: Yeah, but I don't know if that's accurate.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I don't either.
- 19:37Speaker 7: So but I took Shad's answer. There is the part
- 19:41Speaker 7: I agree with him.
- 19:42Speaker 5: One.
- 19:43Speaker 7: I agree with a head coach centric system, like the
- 19:46Speaker 7: head coach has to be the voice of the organization
- 19:49Speaker 7: from the football side and the job.
- 19:51Speaker 2: That's what Urban was.
- 19:53Speaker 7: Well, that's better or worse, it's what it was, right, right,
- 19:55Speaker 7: And that's what I think Sead wanted Doug to do
- 19:58Speaker 7: it be And if you look at I mean, okay,
- 20:03Speaker 7: let's go through the number one. Let's go through the
- 20:05Speaker 7: teams in the playoffs. Okay, I mean looking at structure,
- 20:09Speaker 7: what we know, best team in the NFL, Detroit Lions,
- 20:13Speaker 7: my opinion, number one seed. Would you say that's a
- 20:16Speaker 7: head coach centric system. So yeah, I think so. They
- 20:21Speaker 7: both separately report to the owner gmn uh head coach
- 20:27Speaker 7: report to the ownership group. But it's it's head to
- 20:30Speaker 7: coach centric. Kansas City, you think Andy Reid's a charge
- 20:33Speaker 7: not and it's head coach centric. You know that they
- 20:39Speaker 7: have a good GM. I mean, everyone has a role,
- 20:41Speaker 7: but it's it's Andy show. But they both report up
- 20:43Speaker 7: to the ownership. Buffalo, Buffalo, I believe that's the way.
- 20:50Speaker 7: I mean it comes across that way. I mean another team, Baltimore,
- 20:55Speaker 7: Baltimore Ravens, I mean John Harball Chargers, Jim Harball, no
- 20:59Speaker 7: doubt about it. Sean Payton, the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia, Philadelphia.
- 21:05Speaker 7: That's a different story, right because I think Cowie is
- 21:09Speaker 7: kind of more like that's the That's my opinion. I
- 21:11Speaker 7: don't know for a fact, but it sure feels like
- 21:14Speaker 7: Howie's the one that is dictating what they do.
- 21:16Speaker 2: He just feels like Sirianni's on the hot set.
- 21:18Speaker 7: Yeah, it's always like feeling like Sirianni was like week
- 21:20Speaker 7: the week and how he's waiting in the background, like well,
- 21:23Speaker 7: I don't like that for it down call today. But yeah,
- 21:27Speaker 7: but I mean, we don't need to go through everyone
- 21:29Speaker 7: but to get our point. And I actually agree with that,
- 21:32Speaker 7: and I think it's more about getting the right people
- 21:36Speaker 7: in the right roles, in defining those roles and understanding
- 21:41Speaker 7: what is the identity of the organization. So if I
- 21:44Speaker 7: was going to be critical of the Trent Bulky Doug
- 21:50Speaker 7: Peterson tenure, here, what's the identity?
- 21:55Speaker 2: Who are you?
- 21:55Speaker 7: What is our identity? Who are we trying to be?
- 21:59Speaker 7: Like what's the culture of the building and the organization?
- 22:03Speaker 7: And like when you show up somewhere, this is who
- 22:05Speaker 7: we are. I don't think that was established. Now you
- 22:09Speaker 7: could argue, is that whose fault is that? Whose responsibility
- 22:12Speaker 7: is that? I think overall it's an organizational responsibility. But
- 22:16Speaker 7: I think if you're going to be head coach centric,
- 22:17Speaker 7: and that's what Jead wants, and I think that's what
- 22:18Speaker 7: he wanted when Doug, it ultimately starts with the head
- 22:21Speaker 7: coach and now you have to support the head coach.
- 22:24Speaker 7: And so it's the job of everyone to being on
- 22:25Speaker 7: the same page, understand your roles and what you're supposed
- 22:29Speaker 7: to do, but then supporting. If everyone does their job,
- 22:32Speaker 7: you're naturally supporting that head coach and his staff and players.
- 22:37Speaker 7: Because at the end of the day, in the NFL,
- 22:42Speaker 7: everybody is dependent on what happens on that field. Everybody,
- 22:48Speaker 7: their jobs and their livelihoods do literally depend on it.
- 22:54Speaker 7: By the way, and I'm not just talking about the
- 22:58Speaker 7: assistant coaches and the training staff and the nutritional staff
- 23:02Speaker 7: and the medical staff, and the scouting staff and the
- 23:05Speaker 7: GM I'm not I'm talking about the people selling tickets,
- 23:09Speaker 7: the sponsorship facilities, communication, broadcast. We're all dependent on that.
- 23:21Speaker 7: We're probably the least because our job, like our job
- 23:25Speaker 7: is to communicate what happens and talk about what happens, win,
- 23:28Speaker 7: lose or draw, Like, okay, we're gonna do that. What
- 23:33Speaker 7: if you're selling tickets and your your incentive comp and
- 23:36Speaker 7: your bonus comp depends on how many tickets you tough
- 23:40Speaker 7: tough year, you don't think when is important? I mean
- 23:46Speaker 7: it's and so I and so shods. What shod communicated
- 23:51Speaker 7: today is like Okay, this is the way, Like we're
- 23:54Speaker 7: all in. Our job is support this head coach whose
- 23:57Speaker 7: job is to go win football games. That's basically the structure.
- 24:01Speaker 7: If you want to simplify it and be a reductionist
- 24:04Speaker 7: and go down to the base levels like this guy,
- 24:07Speaker 7: we all have to support him. Trent, Me, Scouting, medical, everybody. Yeah,
- 24:16Speaker 7: so that they can't have success, so we all have
- 24:20Speaker 7: so then we all have success. That's how it works.
- 24:23Speaker 7: And that's what Sean was saying. I agree with that.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Pete Prisco back with us. Now you hear all that, Yeah,
- 24:28Speaker 2: I am.
- 24:28Speaker 8: I had to change computers and headset and everything. Something happened,
- 24:33Speaker 8: so yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I hear Tony waving all.
- 24:36Speaker 12: Over the damn place.
- 24:37Speaker 7: I mean, come on, what do you instead of just
- 24:42Speaker 7: taking a personal shot what you were outstanding at doing?
- 24:45Speaker 7: And by the way, I saw Brady and he made
- 24:47Speaker 7: sure to let me know what a pain and then
- 24:49Speaker 7: you know what you are on a daily basis, he
- 24:53Speaker 7: told Yeah, we talked, told me, we shared stories about
- 24:55Speaker 7: what a terrible person you are. But instead of just
- 25:00Speaker 7: taking a personal shot, what do you disagree with what
- 25:02Speaker 7: I just said? I'm not I'm just saying that because
- 25:04Speaker 7: Pete where we started. I don't know if you heard it.
- 25:06Speaker 7: We ran a clip. Sead was asked about extending Bulky
- 25:11Speaker 7: and basically he gave a yeah, not relevant and talked
- 25:17Speaker 7: about coach being the head coach, being head coach centric
- 25:21Speaker 7: in the job of the organizations to support that group,
- 25:23Speaker 7: to give them the tools to have success, you know,
- 25:26Speaker 7: blah blah blah blah blah. And I was saying, I
- 25:29Speaker 7: actually agree with that, and if you look at successful
- 25:32Speaker 7: organizations and the teams that have had success, it's built
- 25:35Speaker 7: around that head coach and giving them the tools and
- 25:38Speaker 7: the in the ammunition, ammunition to go win the fight.
- 25:45Speaker 12: Well, well, let me ask you this though. Let's let's
- 25:47Speaker 12: let's look at it from this stamp.
- 25:49Speaker 8: Okay, if Trent Balk stays and doesn't get a contract
- 25:56Speaker 8: extension and the new coach comes in, you think they're
- 26:01Speaker 8: going to be working in harm harmony together.
- 26:04Speaker 7: Yeah, you do. Why wouldn't they.
- 26:09Speaker 12: Because history says otherwise?
- 26:12Speaker 7: Oh, are you talking in general or or Trent specifically?
- 26:18Speaker 7: Did he say? Trent said, Trent, Okay, sorry, you're going
- 26:21Speaker 7: out again. I mean, what do you what? You would
- 26:23Speaker 7: you know?
- 26:23Speaker 12: What's going on?
- 26:24Speaker 7: Did you pay your bills? Did you pay your bill
- 26:27Speaker 7: this year?
- 26:28Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 26:28Speaker 8: I was just on camera about twenty minutes ago, so
- 26:30Speaker 8: it might not be my, might.
- 26:32Speaker 12: Not be me.
- 26:36Speaker 7: So you're saying that we haven't paid our bills yet.
- 26:39Speaker 13: Maybe No, I guess you're you're paying a lot of
- 26:44Speaker 13: coaches who aren't working, so maybe you can't that funny.
- 26:49Speaker 7: Well, it's really not funny if it's your money. Yeah,
- 26:52Speaker 7: not to say, I guess, Pete. The reason I'd say,
- 26:55Speaker 7: I think they will. So let's play this out. So
- 26:57Speaker 7: because you said Trent specifically, unless you say, let's do
- 27:02Speaker 7: someone besides Ben Johnson, because that's everyone. Let's let's say
- 27:07Speaker 7: Mike Rabel came in here as head coach. Why wouldn't
- 27:12Speaker 7: Mike Rabel make it work the first year because he
- 27:15Speaker 7: knows if he has success as the head coach and
- 27:21Speaker 7: Trent can help him have success, or whoever in that seat,
- 27:24Speaker 7: why wouldn't he work with him until he knows it
- 27:26Speaker 7: doesn't work, because he knows he's going to be there
- 27:30Speaker 7: more than one year. There are also bodies okay, well, okay,
- 27:35Speaker 7: their buddies. Let's say someone who's not Aaron Glenn. Let's
- 27:38Speaker 7: just say Aaron Glenn, who I don't think has any
- 27:40Speaker 7: relationship with Trent Balky. Aaron Glenn comes in, first time
- 27:43Speaker 7: head coach of the organization. He comes in, Why wouldn't
- 27:48Speaker 7: he try to make it work with Trent even if
- 27:52Speaker 7: Trent had one year on his deal because it benefits him.
- 27:56Speaker 12: But he's gonna try and make it work.
- 27:57Speaker 7: And if it doesn't, guess what, there'll be someone else
- 28:00Speaker 7: next year.
- 28:01Speaker 12: But Tony, you know how egos are in that business?
- 28:05Speaker 12: Are you kidding me?
- 28:06Speaker 8: Guys don't get along half the time to begin with,
- 28:08Speaker 8: and now all of a sudden you're getting guys stuck
- 28:10Speaker 8: when you're stuck with them.
- 28:14Speaker 12: Think about that.
- 28:14Speaker 7: There's only thirty two of these jobs, Pete and I
- 28:16Speaker 7: and I know there's a lot of talk about and
- 28:18Speaker 7: we all talk like this this time of year, and
- 28:21Speaker 7: I hear it all the time, these coaches, And I'm
- 28:24Speaker 7: not going there if this person's hair or that, bye bye, bye,
- 28:27Speaker 7: bye bye. And then the job opens up and there's
- 28:30Speaker 7: a long list of people waiting to work there. Kid
- 28:36Speaker 7: that Tony Biselli, I'm asking you, is that not true?
- 28:40Speaker 9: Pete?
- 28:41Speaker 12: What do we have going on either tonight? I just
- 28:44Speaker 12: don't understand.
- 28:45Speaker 7: I'm you're the one who said it a second ago.
- 28:47Speaker 7: Is that not true?
- 28:50Speaker 8: I agree with you, guys should do the interview. I'm saying, okay,
- 28:55Speaker 8: And you said there's only thirty two of them. There's
- 28:57Speaker 8: also only thirty two general managers in the league, and
- 29:00Speaker 8: you're keeping a guy who's on will be on.
- 29:03Speaker 12: His third coach.
- 29:04Speaker 2: I get it.
- 29:05Speaker 12: Two number one.
- 29:06Speaker 8: Overall picks who spent a boatload of money for a
- 29:09Speaker 8: team that won won?
- 29:10Speaker 12: How many games did they win? Again? Remind me for
- 29:13Speaker 12: so so think about it from that standpoint.
- 29:16Speaker 8: I'm coming in to be I'm going to be the
- 29:18Speaker 8: new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I'm stuck
- 29:21Speaker 8: with that job.
- 29:22Speaker 7: So I'm gonna say, well, wait a second. Two things. One,
- 29:27Speaker 7: I think Sead deserves credit because it would have been
- 29:30Speaker 7: easy for him to do what a lot of other
- 29:32Speaker 7: teams did, like the Giants and the Dolphins and others
- 29:37Speaker 7: who put out comments today is like, we're staying the
- 29:39Speaker 7: course with the individuals we have. And so he said
- 29:44Speaker 7: no and got rid of a guy because he did
- 29:48Speaker 7: not see progress on the field since the middle of
- 29:51Speaker 7: last year. And he said no, I'm doing it now.
- 29:54Speaker 7: I'm not waiting. We're making a decision, so let's give
- 29:56Speaker 7: him credit for that. At the same time, to Pete's point,
- 29:59Speaker 7: he he kept the guy who's been through multiple coaches
- 30:03Speaker 7: and everything else. That was also part of that fallout.
- 30:09Speaker 7: John made the decision he thought I was more coaching
- 30:11Speaker 7: than Jim. Okay, great, that was his decision. My whole point,
- 30:15Speaker 7: Pete is he also said in the press conference, if
- 30:18Speaker 7: someone came in and said, hey, there's a better structure
- 30:22Speaker 7: or this or that or the other, and could convince him,
- 30:25Speaker 7: all like to me, I took I went and came
- 30:27Speaker 7: away from this saying, it's like this is an owner
- 30:29Speaker 7: who just wants to win a right, So somebody has
- 30:31Speaker 7: a better problems, a better process, or a better deal
- 30:34Speaker 7: than I'm good ears and so I think, And that's
- 30:37Speaker 7: why I'm saying, Pete, my whole point is, I'm not
- 30:39Speaker 7: I get what you're saying because it's true and you
- 30:42Speaker 7: and I agree on this, and we've talked about the
- 30:44Speaker 7: perception out there and the conversation is that there are
- 30:50Speaker 7: certain guys who will not take this job. If Trent
- 30:52Speaker 7: Bulky's the gym, that it is what it is, it's
- 30:55Speaker 7: out there. My point is. I think a lot of
- 30:58Speaker 7: times that's more talk then reality when push comes to shove.
- 31:03Speaker 7: That's all I'm saying.
- 31:03Speaker 12: Okay, okay, I'll give you that. I'll give you that.
- 31:05Speaker 7: That's all I'm saying. Should you That's all I'm saying.
- 31:07Speaker 12: Should you be forced to take the job with him?
- 31:09Speaker 7: There, I'm not saying you should, Pete. I'm just saying
- 31:12Speaker 7: you're you're missing my point. That's why, like you're losing
- 31:15Speaker 7: your mind. My only point in this thing. There's only
- 31:17Speaker 7: thirty two of these jobs. There's only five of them
- 31:19Speaker 7: open right now. They get they pay a lot of money,
- 31:23Speaker 7: they're very prestigious, and a lot of guys. Because I've
- 31:27Speaker 7: had conversations with these people, they tell me I'm not
- 31:31Speaker 7: taking the job if X, Y and z's there, Okay,
- 31:33Speaker 7: and then.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Amazingly, those contracts slash on the desk.
- 31:37Speaker 7: It's like, oh wait a minute. Amazingly, like weeks later,
- 31:41Speaker 7: they're interviewing for the dang job and they're like, I
- 31:44Speaker 7: want that job. It pays eight million bucks a year.
- 31:46Speaker 2: How many zeros are No?
- 31:48Speaker 9: I get that.
- 31:49Speaker 7: That's all I'm saying.
- 31:49Speaker 8: I get everything. I get everything you say, And you're
- 31:52Speaker 8: right about that. Guys will interview and somebody will take
- 31:55Speaker 8: the job. But why should you be forced to do that?
- 31:57Speaker 7: You shouldn't.
- 31:59Speaker 12: Why should you be Why should you be taking an
- 32:02Speaker 12: opportunity to be a head coach in a national force?
- 32:04Speaker 12: You should not next step in your career.
- 32:06Speaker 8: No, but why should it be at a place where
- 32:10Speaker 8: a general manager is being kept?
- 32:12Speaker 12: But they clearly are cleaning everybody else out the coaches.
- 32:16Speaker 8: You know you, you do realize what this message sends now,
- 32:19Speaker 8: I do all dog.
- 32:21Speaker 14: Peterste the general manager, had nothing to do.
- 32:24Speaker 7: With it, and we're running over. I want to come
- 32:27Speaker 7: back to that, Pete, but I want to finish it.
- 32:29Speaker 7: We'll come back to the coaching real quick. I want
- 32:30Speaker 7: to finish this to make sure we're on the same page.
- 32:32Speaker 7: I think we are, Pete. I don't think anyone should
- 32:35Speaker 7: have to. My only point is is Shad Khan is
- 32:38Speaker 7: the owner of the team. It's his progative to do
- 32:41Speaker 7: whatever the heck he wants. It's his money, and what
- 32:43Speaker 7: he is saying is right now. Trent Balky's my GM.
- 32:48Speaker 7: He also said at the end, if somebody comes in
- 32:51Speaker 7: and has a better idea and can convince me that
- 32:53Speaker 7: I should do something, different that will help us win.
- 32:56Speaker 7: I will listen. So, No, it is the prerogative of
- 33:01Speaker 7: every head coach, Ben Johnson. If Ben Johnson doesn't want
- 33:04Speaker 7: to come here because of Trent Balky, that's his prerogative
- 33:07Speaker 7: and I respect it. That's his decision.
- 33:10Speaker 8: Well what happens if you're missing out on a great
- 33:12Speaker 8: coach because you've stuck with Brett Trent Balk, well.
- 33:14Speaker 7: Then that is guess what? And guess what, Pete. Then
- 33:16Speaker 7: that is Sean Conn's responsibility. And at the end of
- 33:20Speaker 7: the day, if Ben.
- 33:22Speaker 12: Johnson even why even have it in this situation. You
- 33:25Speaker 12: could have done you could have fixed it one clean.
- 33:27Speaker 7: Swoop because he doesn't. Okay, let's let's let's talk when
- 33:31Speaker 7: we get back.
- 33:31Speaker 2: As we're working, we gotta come back, all right.
- 33:33Speaker 12: Well, I just want to know.
- 33:33Speaker 8: If Ja he got the same Christmas bonus you got
- 33:36Speaker 8: for being a yes man?
- 33:37Speaker 7: Now, how would Pete? That's unfair And I'm gonna come
- 33:40Speaker 7: back and take you the test because that's not true.
- 33:42Speaker 7: What did I I want to know what I said
- 33:44Speaker 7: that you disagree with that's not in fact.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Tell me the answer is no, I didn't.
- 33:52Speaker 7: By the way, By the way, I didn't either we're.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Back in a moment, it wouldn't have been on the
- 33:57Speaker 2: radiod I did.

- 34:34Speaker 7: We're starting early.
- 34:35Speaker 3: We've got people calling Tony Bisselli a turncoat now on
- 34:39Speaker 3: X I mean they're coming at you, Tony.
- 34:42Speaker 7: That's fine, bring it. Pete started misrepresenting what I'm saying.
- 34:45Speaker 7: But you know what, let's.
- 34:47Speaker 9: Go, I don't know what.
- 34:50Speaker 7: Well you said. I'm getting paid off to say what
- 34:52Speaker 7: I'm saying, So that's basically the.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Same I didn't get paid for the rest and.
- 34:56Speaker 7: If you'll use you know xers and great Jaguar fans.
- 34:59Speaker 7: I love you take your shot because but here's reality.
- 35:03Speaker 7: The reality is Shat Khan is the owner of this team.
- 35:07Speaker 7: It's his team. He owns it, he bought it. He
- 35:11Speaker 7: gets the ability to make decisions and who works here
- 35:13Speaker 7: and who does not including yours truly me, everyone in
- 35:18Speaker 7: this building. It's his job. He made a decision based
- 35:22Speaker 7: on the body of work after three years of wins
- 35:28Speaker 7: and losses, that we were going in the wrong direction.
- 35:31Speaker 7: He has said from day one, this is a coach
- 35:33Speaker 7: centric organization. He believes that the head coach should be
- 35:37Speaker 7: the loudest voice. That is that they're they're equal. They
- 35:41Speaker 7: all report to him, but the head coach is, you know,
- 35:46Speaker 7: among equals. He's the lead. He's the lead he has
- 35:49Speaker 7: He's the one who's gonna drive the boat. Sept the culture,
- 35:52Speaker 7: who we are and where we're going. That's what he said.
- 35:55Speaker 7: He said it today again in the press conference. So
- 35:58Speaker 7: he made a decision that based on the direction that
- 36:02Speaker 7: he felt like he needed to make a change on
- 36:05Speaker 7: the coaching after doing all the evaluation. You can agree
- 36:07Speaker 7: or disagree with that, whether he should be the head
- 36:10Speaker 7: coach that whether he Doug should have got fired or not,
- 36:13Speaker 7: he thought he should. He felt like, based on where
- 36:16Speaker 7: this organization was today, that Trent Balkey had done enough
- 36:22Speaker 7: while still under contract to fill be the GM moving forward,
- 36:27Speaker 7: while at the same time he said that if someone
- 36:31Speaker 7: came with a better thing, Because he made a great
- 36:34Speaker 7: point in the press conference because people asked him, why
- 36:37Speaker 7: don't you clean house? He's like, well, tell me what
- 36:40Speaker 7: cleaning house means? All this prayer phrase clean house and
- 36:46Speaker 7: he's like, well, what does that mean? Should I get
- 36:47Speaker 7: rid of all the trainers and the equipment guys and
- 36:49Speaker 7: the video guys? Are they all? Are they all trash too?
- 36:53Speaker 12: That's not what that question was either.
- 36:55Speaker 7: I'm just telling you they asked the question. When you
- 36:57Speaker 7: say clean house, are you saying so, just get rid
- 36:59Speaker 7: of the GM? You get rid of all the scouts?
- 37:02Speaker 7: Do you get rid of all the scouts too?
- 37:04Speaker 12: Eventually you will if your GM comes in, new.
- 37:06Speaker 8: GM comes in, he hires his own scouts, Yes, unless
- 37:08Speaker 8: he unless he really likes guys on the stamp.
- 37:10Speaker 12: That happens all in time to this league, And okay, it.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Usually happens right after the drift, right after the draft
- 37:15Speaker 2: and that's fine.
- 37:16Speaker 7: But my point is the whole point I'm making. I'm
- 37:19Speaker 7: not sitting here saying he should or should not have
- 37:22Speaker 7: fired Trent Balky. I have not weighed in at all,
- 37:26Speaker 7: just like I didn't weigh in all year whether he
- 37:28Speaker 7: should fire Trimbalke or Doug Peterson. I haven't weighed in
- 37:31Speaker 7: whether he should should have fired Doug or not. It's
- 37:34Speaker 7: not my job to hire and fire people at the
- 37:37Speaker 7: end of the day. And I've said it before and
- 37:39Speaker 7: I'll say it now. Sean and whoever is evaluating this
- 37:43Speaker 7: buility needed to take a deep look at the whole
- 37:45Speaker 7: thing because it's not working. We had four wins. We
- 37:48Speaker 7: spent more money than anybody and we have four wins.
- 37:51Speaker 7: We were one in five to finish the season. We're
- 37:53Speaker 7: not productive. We have too many we've been in the
- 37:56Speaker 7: top five too many picking. We have too many double
- 37:58Speaker 7: digit losing seasons. So that's all I said. And my
- 38:02Speaker 7: point is when Pete brings up, he's like, well, you
- 38:05Speaker 7: should have fired He can't be a part of the search.
- 38:07Speaker 7: You know, if Sean doesn't know anybody, that's that's nonsense.
- 38:11Speaker 7: He's been around since twenty twelve and everyone gets all excited,
- 38:16Speaker 7: let's go high. What GM do you want? First of all,
- 38:18Speaker 7: half the people on X you don't even know what
- 38:20Speaker 7: makes a good GM. You you're you're giving me names
- 38:23Speaker 7: of guys who are scouts. How do you know they're
- 38:25Speaker 7: gonna be good? What they do? Do you even know what?
- 38:28Speaker 12: I don't know anybody's ever gonna be good? Is this?
- 38:31Speaker 7: That's my whole point, Pete, and you're my whole point
- 38:34Speaker 7: is And then you got your saying, well, you know,
- 38:37Speaker 7: look at the Jets. They're going with Tannebaugh and Spielman.
- 38:40Speaker 7: Oh great, two guys who are talking heads at networks.
- 38:43Speaker 7: They can't get a job. I'm gonna trust No, that's
- 38:46Speaker 7: what you said, Pete. That's what you said, and so
- 38:49Speaker 7: you have to guy, that's what you said.
- 38:52Speaker 8: You said, ultimately responsible for the mess that you're in,
- 38:57Speaker 8: conducting the helping it, eliting the search.
- 39:00Speaker 12: Just think about that for a second. The guy who.
- 39:02Speaker 8: Is ultimately responsible for the mess that this team is
- 39:05Speaker 8: in right now is leading the search.
- 39:08Speaker 7: No, I disagree with that. He's not leading it. Shod's
- 39:11Speaker 7: leading it, just like he led the last search with
- 39:13Speaker 7: Doug Peterson. Yes, Pete, you're wrong.
- 39:16Speaker 12: He'll be he'll he'll make the vital decisions.
- 39:18Speaker 8: They'll bring the guys to him, and Trent will have
- 39:21Speaker 8: major input on who comes to.
- 39:23Speaker 3: That part of the statement today. And this is an
- 39:26Speaker 3: interesting part to me. I will collaborate with GM, Trim
- 39:28Speaker 3: Balki and others within and close to our organization.
- 39:32Speaker 7: I think me well, but let's find out this happened
- 39:35Speaker 7: today and people are losing their mind and I got
- 39:39Speaker 7: you today. At this moment, I have not talked to
- 39:45Speaker 7: Shod since the announcement has been made, so I don't
- 39:47Speaker 7: know if I'm another or not.
- 39:49Speaker 8: The only thing I can think of right now is
- 39:51Speaker 8: you're either another or somebody's outside taking you down from the.
- 39:54Speaker 7: Reg That's not true, Pete. I have not said I've
- 40:00Speaker 7: I've been the loud loudest voice that what we are
- 40:02Speaker 7: doing is not good enough. I've just said from the beginning,
- 40:06Speaker 7: I'm not going to hire and fire anybody. I've been
- 40:09Speaker 7: critical of Doug when he was here as the coach,
- 40:12Speaker 7: and I've praised him when he was the coach. I've
- 40:14Speaker 7: been critical of Trent Bulky when he's the coach, and
- 40:17Speaker 7: I've praised him as the I mean as a GM.
- 40:20Speaker 7: And I've praised him as the GM. I'm never gonna
- 40:22Speaker 7: hire a fire that's not my job. I will be critical.
- 40:25Speaker 7: I thought we missed on free agency. I didn't like
- 40:27Speaker 7: where we did certain things this year. I think the
- 40:30Speaker 7: results speak for themselves.
- 40:31Speaker 12: Not critical. You're not critical at all.
- 40:35Speaker 8: Keeping a guy who was ultimately responsible for the same
- 40:38Speaker 8: thing that got the coach fired, You're not critical of that.
- 40:41Speaker 7: It's the progative of the owner. Let's see, let's see
- 40:44Speaker 7: if this plays out.
- 40:44Speaker 12: I mean, you can't be critical of it. It is
- 40:47Speaker 12: the progative.
- 40:48Speaker 8: I don't hire and fire anybody either, and I don't
- 40:51Speaker 8: have a team to hire or fire anybody. Sean con does,
- 40:53Speaker 8: and I respect Sean kan. I just don't think this
- 40:56Speaker 8: is a great, a great way to go about it.
- 40:59Speaker 12: That's not how I would go about it. That's all
- 41:01Speaker 12: I'm saying. I would not go I would when I mean,
- 41:05Speaker 12: when somebody asked that question.
- 41:06Speaker 7: Ask that question, and that's fair.
- 41:07Speaker 12: Who asked? Who asked to clean the house question?
- 41:10Speaker 2: I think I don't remember off the top of my head.
- 41:13Speaker 8: And whoever asked that question wasn't talking about the cafeteria workers.
- 41:17Speaker 8: They weren't talking about They were talking about the general manager.
- 41:24Speaker 8: And when you talk about cleaning house, you mean the
- 41:26Speaker 8: general manager and the coach.
- 41:28Speaker 7: We're come back, I'm gonna ask one I'm gonna ask
- 41:32Speaker 7: one question to Pete. We can Pete answer when we
- 41:33Speaker 7: get back in the NFL. Who's more responsible for the
- 41:39Speaker 7: wins and losses? The head coach or the GM.
- 41:43Speaker 12: All right, let me think about it.
- 41:44Speaker 7: Let's talk about that when we come back, because I
- 41:47Speaker 7: I want to. I want to dive into that because
- 41:48Speaker 7: that's part of like, I'm not trying to dodge anything,
- 41:53Speaker 7: and I don't appreciate I love the do ball people.
- 41:56Speaker 7: The one thing I'm not is a turncoat. And Pete,
- 42:00Speaker 7: you can kiss it, kiss where the sun doesn't shine.
- 42:02Speaker 7: I've never been paid off, so you can kiss my
- 42:05Speaker 7: you know what. And I'll come down there to Southward
- 42:08Speaker 7: and beat you beyond recognition.
- 42:12Speaker 9: And so.
- 42:14Speaker 7: No, I trust me. You want to let it go,
- 42:16Speaker 7: we can drive your ass up here and let's go.
- 42:18Speaker 2: We're back in a moment. Wow, wrong one.

- 43:02Speaker 5: Wow?
- 43:03Speaker 7: First, if if Tony Cobb put Pte and I in
- 43:07Speaker 7: the ring for an a W, it would be the
- 43:11Speaker 7: most unathletic, unh unlike coordinated arabic there, Like there'd be
- 43:21Speaker 7: no like flips and like it'd be like on the
- 43:23Speaker 7: ground slow motion like that.
- 43:27Speaker 12: I mean, we can't look. We both lost a bunch
- 43:29Speaker 12: of weight. But I need taking my damn shirt off.
- 43:32Speaker 7: Oh I'm fine, Pete, I'm fine taking the shirt off.
- 43:35Speaker 7: I'm just not gonna move fast enough where it can
- 43:38Speaker 7: I can hurt myself for it, like I can't. It'll
- 43:42Speaker 7: be like it would be awful.
- 43:44Speaker 12: M right for the bad hip.
- 43:47Speaker 7: Oh it's not to hip. Some worry about the shoulder.
- 43:50Speaker 7: You'd hit my shoulder and I just crumble.
- 43:52Speaker 2: I go down to lift you up over his head.
- 43:55Speaker 2: There's no way with the shoulder.
- 43:57Speaker 7: I'd have to lift you like right to my chin,
- 43:59Speaker 7: Like hey, Pete, let's go.
- 44:02Speaker 12: I got him so, I got him so riled up.
- 44:04Speaker 12: In the last second he was driving down.
- 44:06Speaker 7: I still right now, just a flat street brawl. I'm in.
- 44:13Speaker 12: All right.
- 44:13Speaker 3: So the question before the question was what is more
- 44:17Speaker 3: responsible for wins and losses?
- 44:18Speaker 2: Head coach or GM Pete. What's your answer?
- 44:22Speaker 8: The answer to that question to me is always the
- 44:26Speaker 8: general manager. And if we always go back to what
- 44:29Speaker 8: we say, it's Jimmy's and Joe's and not x'es and o's.
- 44:34Speaker 8: And so from that standpoint, I will stand by that.
- 44:37Speaker 8: It doesn't mean you don't have to have a good coach,
- 44:40Speaker 8: because the player's got to get developed too, and that
- 44:44Speaker 8: has been a.
- 44:44Speaker 12: Problem in Jacksonville.
- 44:45Speaker 8: I'm not going to sugarcoat that, and I'm not going
- 44:48Speaker 8: to sit here and defend Doug Peterson and the development
- 44:51Speaker 8: of players and the offensive system and everything else.
- 44:54Speaker 12: I'm just I'm just not But the ultimately talent wins
- 45:00Speaker 12: in this league, and so.
- 45:01Speaker 8: It's general manager much more important.
- 45:07Speaker 7: I disagree, like on tho I think the head coach
- 45:11Speaker 7: is the more important position.
- 45:14Speaker 8: I mean, if you know what, if you have bad talent,
- 45:16Speaker 8: hold on, let me, or good talent a bad coach,
- 45:19Speaker 8: who's gonna have a better team?
- 45:21Speaker 7: I think the good coach with uh, I think if
- 45:25Speaker 7: I think you have extremes like really good, really bad,
- 45:27Speaker 7: but I think good coaching. Good coaching is in the
- 45:31Speaker 7: game of football in the NFL more than any other
- 45:34Speaker 7: professional sports. The head coach is absolutely critical. And it's
- 45:38Speaker 7: also why Pete. Head coaches in this league make probably
- 45:41Speaker 7: two x what general managers make.
- 45:46Speaker 8: Okay, you have Mac Jones and I have Trevor Lawrence
- 45:49Speaker 8: because I drafted him, and your guy drafted and busted
- 45:52Speaker 8: out and took Mac Jones.
- 45:53Speaker 12: Who's who's going to have a better team? Well, tell
- 45:55Speaker 12: me better the coach.
- 45:56Speaker 8: Your coach is Bill Belichick in his heyday, and my
- 45:59Speaker 8: coaches is uh Doug Peterson.
- 46:01Speaker 12: Is your team gonna be better than mine?
- 46:04Speaker 7: Well, I mean you're going extreme, so everything else, everything else?
- 46:08Speaker 7: So like, okay, I'll give you another like I don't
- 46:11Speaker 7: like like call it single players. I'll give you an example.
- 46:14Speaker 7: Who's more responsible for Detroit Brad Holmes or Dan Campbell?
- 46:22Speaker 7: Brad Holmes. Yeah, because you're crazy. You are nuts.
- 46:27Speaker 8: Okay, Who's who, like who made the decision to go
- 46:32Speaker 8: get Jared Goff.
- 46:34Speaker 7: Who's who set the culture, who's at the work ethic,
- 46:36Speaker 7: who's at the toughness? Who like Jared Goff was a
- 46:41Speaker 7: shell of himself. So you're telling me Brad Holmes fixed
- 46:44Speaker 7: Jared Goff.
- 46:46Speaker 12: Goff went to a Super Bowl with the rim.
- 46:48Speaker 7: He was run out of town and he thought he
- 46:51Speaker 7: was getting benched when he went and talked to uh
- 46:55Speaker 7: Dan Campbell. So you're telling me you'd give Brad Holmes
- 46:59Speaker 7: credit for fixing Jared got more than than you, Like
- 47:01Speaker 7: you're out of your mind, Like you've lost all respect gone.
- 47:07Speaker 7: Now I'm really.
- 47:08Speaker 3: Driving down or two of Jaguars Happy Hours coming up,
- 47:13Speaker 3: including fanatics fan questions will go around the league plenty
- 47:16Speaker 3: more to comments. Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet Home Loans.
- 47:25Speaker 5: You know what is a complete overhaul of the franchise? Okay,
- 47:31Speaker 5: we have I think.
- 47:32Speaker 4: If you look at it, health and wellness obviously up
- 47:36Speaker 4: the players, medical, you know, statistics, analysis, scouting, and you
- 47:46Speaker 4: know a number of other elements along with you know,
- 47:50Speaker 4: contract administration.
- 47:51Speaker 5: All of those areas you know, we have.
- 47:54Speaker 4: Really changed improved circling over the last four or five years.
- 47:59Speaker 5: So to change all of that is almost like suicidal.
- 48:06Speaker 4: That that you've got eighty five people working on that
- 48:10Speaker 4: side and you say I'm gonna get rid of them
- 48:12Speaker 4: and find eighty five new people.
- 48:14Speaker 5: They're gonna be better than that.
- 48:16Speaker 4: You know, that's that's like shooting yourself the fut I mean,
- 48:20Speaker 4: we need to go to work on something that is broken,
- 48:24Speaker 4: that needs to be fixed, and continually be improving things
- 48:28Speaker 4: that are working.
- 48:30Speaker 3: That's Jaguars owners shot con earlier today on a Zoom
- 48:33Speaker 3: press conference with the media, and it's our two Jaguars
- 48:38Speaker 3: Happy Hour, JP shatterck, Tony Vasselli, Pete Prisco the second
- 48:41Speaker 3: Hour presented by Mister Chubby's Wings before the game, after
- 48:45Speaker 3: the game, and during the game. We're on Tintinexcel, Jaguars
- 48:48Speaker 3: dot Com, Jaguars YouTube. The Jaguars have fired head coach
- 48:52Speaker 3: Doug Peterson after three seasons. Peterson finished twenty two and
- 48:55Speaker 3: twenty nine in the regular season as Jaguars head coach,
- 48:58Speaker 3: but finished his and you're five and eighteen in his
- 49:03Speaker 3: last twenty three games. The Jaguars are now into another
- 49:06Speaker 3: coaching search. Owner Shot con will now have his sixth
- 49:09Speaker 3: full time head coach in what will be his fourteenth
- 49:12Speaker 3: season as the owner coming up in twenty twenty five.
- 49:16Speaker 3: Started with Mike Mlwarkeye for a year, Gus Bradley for
- 49:19Speaker 3: four years, Doug Marone for four years, Urban Meyer not
- 49:22Speaker 3: even a year, Darryl Bebble was the interim that doesn't count,
- 49:25Speaker 3: and then Doug Peterson the last three years onto twenty
- 49:28Speaker 3: twenty five and beyond with Trent Balky as the general manager.
- 49:32Speaker 3: He will remain and Trent Balke on his alignment with
- 49:36Speaker 3: the head coach moving ahead.
- 49:38Speaker 6: I think Doug and I were aligned, very aligned and
- 49:43Speaker 6: reopened and honest conversations with Doug for three straight years.
- 49:48Speaker 6: So I don't know that the marriage factor. You know,
- 49:51Speaker 6: this is a situation where you go out and you
- 49:54Speaker 6: pick the best person you can pick and you go
- 49:58Speaker 6: to work.
- 49:59Speaker 7: You roll up your sleeve and go to work.
- 50:00Speaker 5: Nobody has a crystal ball.
- 50:03Speaker 6: Mistakes are made in all the time in this business
- 50:07Speaker 6: and you got to you gotta self correct.
- 50:09Speaker 3: And that's Trent Balky Jaguars general managers still on with
- 50:13Speaker 3: the team and the con bulkeypresser available at Jaguars dot Com.
- 50:17Speaker 3: Jaguars YouTube from earlier today, JP Shadwick, Pete Prisco, Tony
- 50:22Speaker 3: Boselli rehashing everything that has happened the day after the season,
- 50:26Speaker 3: and a lot has happened. Doug Peterson is out. The
- 50:29Speaker 3: search begins.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Tony.
- 50:31Speaker 7: Here we are, Yeah, I mean, I mean Peter. We
- 50:36Speaker 7: finished last hour, Pete with the conversation. You know, GM
- 50:39Speaker 7: or head coach? Who's more responsible? And I you and
- 50:43Speaker 7: I agree on most things about this league, but I
- 50:46Speaker 7: just disagree with you on the head coach is the
- 50:48Speaker 7: most important hire you can make.
- 50:51Speaker 12: Well, let me ask this, Tony.
- 50:53Speaker 8: Bill Belichick football coach was undone by Bill Belichick general manager.
- 51:01Speaker 12: Do you agree with that?
- 51:05Speaker 9: Uh?
- 51:05Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think that. I'm just thinking, yeah,
- 51:07Speaker 7: I think that's right. But I guess my bigger point is, Pete,
- 51:10Speaker 7: they're both important. I'm not saying you can do one
- 51:13Speaker 7: without the other.
- 51:15Speaker 12: But there's no do I believe that there's the question.
- 51:19Speaker 7: Wasn't that?
- 51:19Speaker 2: The question was what one's more important to winning?
- 51:21Speaker 7: And the more important the winnings is the head coach
- 51:24Speaker 7: and that's why they get paid more. Okay, ask question
- 51:27Speaker 7: is more important? Let me ask you a question you
- 51:29Speaker 7: had to get rid of. No, okay, let me ask
- 51:31Speaker 7: you a question you had to get rid of one guy,
- 51:33Speaker 7: Veach or Andy Reid.
- 51:38Speaker 12: I get rid of Andy Reid. Forget said that.
- 51:52Speaker 7: Okay, let me ask you another one, Jim Harbor or
- 51:54Speaker 7: whoever the gym it's at the Los Angeles Chargers is would.
- 51:58Speaker 12: You get rid of would you get rid of my whole?
- 52:00Speaker 12: Or Andy Reid? I mean we can go that one too.
- 52:02Speaker 12: I mean.
- 52:04Speaker 7: No, first of all, the.
- 52:07Speaker 8: Guy who found Mahomes, because the guy who found Mahomes
- 52:10Speaker 8: is Brett Beach.
- 52:11Speaker 7: Well you don't think Andy Reid had anything to do
- 52:16Speaker 7: with the picking of uh Mahomes. Come on, Pete, you
- 52:20Speaker 7: know better.
- 52:21Speaker 12: Listen, go back and listen to all the stories Brett Beach.
- 52:23Speaker 7: I'm not saying I say that, but you're telling me
- 52:27Speaker 7: they they picked a quarterback without Andy Reid signing off
- 52:30Speaker 7: on it. Come on, Pete, come on, you don't get
- 52:33Speaker 7: a pull any Patrick Mahomes.
- 52:35Speaker 9: But so so.
- 52:37Speaker 12: But you're saying that the coach is more important than
- 52:39Speaker 12: the talent.
- 52:41Speaker 7: No, I didn't say that. First of all, if you
- 52:44Speaker 7: do this right, the coaching staff is a part of
- 52:46Speaker 7: the evaluation and the picking of the players.
- 52:50Speaker 12: But well that's not always.
- 52:53Speaker 7: That's how it works at most organizations. I shouldn't say
- 52:56Speaker 7: most a lot. So let me let's go through this.
- 52:58Speaker 7: Let's go through the playoff teams. So you don't think
- 53:00Speaker 7: that Dan Campbell has any say and who they pick?
- 53:06Speaker 7: You think as your question Brad Holmes just goes to
- 53:10Speaker 7: behind a curtain and just picks, like, Okay, Dan, this
- 53:13Speaker 7: is who you get. I mean, okay, let go to
- 53:15Speaker 7: another one to we know Andy Reid has input. I'm
- 53:18Speaker 7: not evenna go there. You don't think Jim Harball has
- 53:20Speaker 7: a saying who they picking Los Angeles?
- 53:24Speaker 12: Who had the input when you were playing?
- 53:28Speaker 7: Well, Tom was everything. He was both right so so
- 53:32Speaker 7: but he would But that's a different model, Pete. He
- 53:36Speaker 7: was the GM and head coach, and the and the
- 53:39Speaker 7: cook and the chief marketing officer and the ways.
- 53:43Speaker 8: What's more important than to you as a coach or
- 53:46Speaker 8: the general matter of that team.
- 53:47Speaker 7: So the coach, he's the head coach. As a coach,
- 53:50Speaker 7: he set the culture of the standard of what we did,
- 53:52Speaker 7: how we did it.
- 53:55Speaker 8: You can set a standard with with twenty two jps
- 53:58Speaker 8: and ate winning.
- 54:00Speaker 7: Pete, You're missing the bigger point.
- 54:02Speaker 14: Wat you're acting like you're acting like these GMS pick
- 54:12Speaker 14: guys in a vacuum with no input from the coaching staff.
- 54:17Speaker 8: I'm saying, but ultimately, the GM, if he's the person
- 54:20Speaker 8: in the head of the department, he has a decision making.
- 54:22Speaker 7: I get that. But you're asking me like Andy Reid
- 54:29Speaker 7: or Brett Reach. I'll take Andy Reid, Jim Harbaugh or
- 54:32Speaker 7: whoever the head the GM at the Chargers is. I'll
- 54:37Speaker 7: take Jim Harbaugh. You know, I can go down the list.
- 54:43Speaker 12: But that's not what That's not what your question.
- 54:44Speaker 7: Yeah, that question which is more important?
- 54:47Speaker 8: Which which is ultimately more important for winning talent?
- 54:50Speaker 7: No, I didn't say talent. That's not what I said.
- 54:53Speaker 7: You're acting like the GM picks the talent all by themselves.
- 54:57Speaker 12: He does, he does, he makes a decisions.
- 55:01Speaker 2: Yeah, who has the veto power? Is what?
- 55:04Speaker 3: Remember when that was the question, like they asked Tom
- 55:07Speaker 3: Coffin or Askedhot Gone and Tom wouldn't answer it, and
- 55:10Speaker 3: Shot had to be asked again.
- 55:11Speaker 2: He's like, well, Tom, so who would be that?
- 55:15Speaker 7: I don't actually know. To Pete's point, this is fair,
- 55:18Speaker 7: I actually don't know who had final say between Doug
- 55:21Speaker 7: and and Trent. I don't know that, Trent. Did you
- 55:26Speaker 7: don't know that, Pete, Trent did you don't know that.
- 55:30Speaker 7: You're saying that you don't know that?
- 55:31Speaker 2: Why say that?
- 55:32Speaker 7: Okay, tell me what that's a better question, thank.
- 55:34Speaker 8: You, JP the general because he's a general manager, you
- 55:37Speaker 8: could look at who the players he picked and figure
- 55:39Speaker 8: out who picked them.
- 55:40Speaker 7: So we asked you a question, Well, if that's the case,
- 55:44Speaker 7: if if our coaching staff, because I don't know this,
- 55:47Speaker 7: if our coaching staff had no say and Doug had
- 55:51Speaker 7: no say, okay, yes you are if they were not
- 55:54Speaker 7: involved in the process, and did they in their opinion
- 55:57Speaker 7: did not matter? Was not uh included in the you know,
- 56:04Speaker 7: the weight waiting of who we pick, then that's a
- 56:07Speaker 7: problem and that's a change, and like that's not okay.
- 56:09Speaker 7: I would disagree with that.
- 56:10Speaker 12: I would agree with you.
- 56:13Speaker 7: I would tell right like Tuesday, like like that doesn't
- 56:15Speaker 7: make sense to me, but.
- 56:17Speaker 8: Just like the player personnel directly, but you don't but
- 56:19Speaker 8: you don't But he ain't making a decision.
- 56:21Speaker 7: But you don't know that, Pete, is my point. You
- 56:23Speaker 7: don't know how much input Doug or his staff had.
- 56:27Speaker 7: I don't either.
- 56:29Speaker 12: I don't know I don't. I really am having a
- 56:32Speaker 12: hard time bearing you out today.
- 56:35Speaker 7: I'm not defending Trent here, Pete. I'm just saying I'm
- 56:40Speaker 7: going back to the question. It was a simple question.
- 56:42Speaker 7: What is more important the head coach or the GM?
- 56:46Speaker 12: Well, what's more important is talent than the.
- 56:49Speaker 7: Head That's not the question, Pete, is.
- 56:52Speaker 12: A question the GM brings the talent in.
- 56:55Speaker 7: Okay, let me ask you. Okay, let's go. I'm gonna
- 56:57Speaker 7: give it a real Let's go outside the Jaguars, Los Ange,
- 57:00Speaker 7: those Chargers. Are they a better team with Jim Horbrough
- 57:05Speaker 7: as their head coach then they whoever.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Joe horis the way?
- 57:10Speaker 7: Okay? Are they a better head coach this year? Are
- 57:13Speaker 7: they improved over last year with Jim Harball as their coach?
- 57:18Speaker 12: Yes?
- 57:18Speaker 7: Okay, What additions did they make on talent wise? Lad McConkie,
- 57:26Speaker 7: Oh well, okay, before we know the Ladd mcconfie.
- 57:29Speaker 9: They got rid of a all Pro receiver who can
- 57:34Speaker 9: run anymore?
- 57:34Speaker 7: Okay, they got They also got rid of a Pro
- 57:37Speaker 7: Bowl or borderline Pro Bowl receiver in Mike Williams. They
- 57:42Speaker 7: also okay, I'm just I'm just stating they also got.
- 57:46Speaker 12: Rid of a second year player who's gotten better.
- 57:48Speaker 9: Hold on John.
- 57:49Speaker 7: They also got rid of Austin Eckler. They're leading back.
- 57:56Speaker 12: I ended just another back. J Dobbins sat, Okay, my quite.
- 58:00Speaker 7: So are they better because they got more talent or
- 58:04Speaker 7: they better because Jim Harball came in and changed the
- 58:06Speaker 7: culture as the head coach.
- 58:08Speaker 12: Well, they're also better because Justin Herbert is healthy. He
- 58:11Speaker 12: wasn't healthy last year.
- 58:13Speaker 7: Pete, you were being disingenuous right now.
- 58:17Speaker 12: Rules talent rules the rust. It always will.
- 58:20Speaker 7: I'm not saying that you're missing my point. I'm hoping
- 58:24Speaker 7: that the head coach has like if and I'm literally saying,
- 58:28Speaker 7: I don't know, but if I find if I were
- 58:31Speaker 7: to find out like the head coach the Doug Peterson
- 58:33Speaker 7: his staff had no say and who they were picking
- 58:37Speaker 7: and the players that came here, that would be a
- 58:38Speaker 7: problem to me, Like that makes no sense.
- 58:41Speaker 8: But no saying what like because Coughlin used to have
- 58:45Speaker 8: an input from everybody and he'd have the final say
- 58:48Speaker 8: and make.
- 58:49Speaker 12: The final decision. Okay, So so input is fun.
- 58:53Speaker 8: Look, if I'm the general matter to that team, I
- 58:56Speaker 8: want every scout, every personnel guy to give me their input.
- 58:59Speaker 12: And not be a yes man. I want every coach
- 59:01Speaker 12: who's doing the work on their players to give me
- 59:03Speaker 12: the input and not be a yes man. And if
- 59:05Speaker 12: you think you like a player, tell me I'm going
- 59:08Speaker 12: back and doing more work on them. Ultimately I'm making
- 59:11Speaker 12: the final decision.
- 59:13Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I agree. I agree with that. I guess
- 59:16Speaker 7: it would be interesting, Pete, I don't know the answer
- 59:18Speaker 7: to this is of the fifty three guys on the
- 59:25Speaker 7: roster of this football team, how many of those players
- 59:33Speaker 7: of the whoever were acquired over the last three years
- 59:36Speaker 7: when Doug Peterson and Trent worked together. What percentage of
- 59:40Speaker 7: those players that came in over that three year period
- 59:44Speaker 7: or left? Did Doug Peterson and his staff just violently
- 59:49Speaker 7: like we're against and Trent just picked them? Anyways? Oh no,
- 59:55Speaker 7: I don't either. It'd be an interesting question, my I
- 59:58Speaker 7: guess in a Funk organization that number should be as
- 1:00:04Speaker 7: close to zero as possible.
- 1:00:06Speaker 12: Well, that's never the case, and that's why you have
- 1:00:11Speaker 12: Pete listen.
- 1:00:12Speaker 7: I said as close to zero as possible, because if
- 1:00:15Speaker 7: you're doing it, ultimately someone has to make the call.
- 1:00:18Speaker 7: I agree with you, Pete. There, but good leadership is
- 1:00:22Speaker 7: finding and figuring out how to get to the right
- 1:00:26Speaker 7: answer together because both of you are in it together,
- 1:00:30Speaker 7: and it just doesn't work if you go pick a
- 1:00:32Speaker 7: guy that the player that the head that the coaching
- 1:00:34Speaker 7: staff doesn't want, or that or the coaching staff gets
- 1:00:38Speaker 7: a guy that the scouting department all the time, I Pete,
- 1:00:43Speaker 7: you and I've talked about this. This is where you
- 1:00:45Speaker 7: and I agree. My question is and this is and
- 1:00:49Speaker 7: and I'm assuming these are the questions that Sean has
- 1:00:51Speaker 7: asked because as you make these decisions, you'd want this
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: information so you could make an informed decision. I don't
- 1:01:00Speaker 7: have it. Is my point, Pete, is it'd be interesting,
- 1:01:02Speaker 7: like because it goes to your point, Pete, this is
- 1:01:04Speaker 7: actually would solve are who's more important? Because if that's
- 1:01:09Speaker 7: wildly different, you can't answer the question I'm asking what's
- 1:01:11Speaker 7: more important? The GM where the head coach because they're
- 1:01:13Speaker 7: not on the same page. My point is, my assumption
- 1:01:16Speaker 7: in that question is like there's there's I'm not saying
- 1:01:19Speaker 7: one hundred percent of alignment, because to Pete's point, there's
- 1:01:21Speaker 7: never is. There's always gonna be differences, but it's it's
- 1:01:25Speaker 7: ninety five and at that point then it's all about
- 1:01:28Speaker 7: that head coach. That head coach is the most important
- 1:01:30Speaker 7: thing in the building.
- 1:01:31Speaker 12: Well, here's the other part of them. You're you're, you're,
- 1:01:34Speaker 12: you're right about coach in the GM working together. And
- 1:01:39Speaker 12: yet every in a lie, not everyone, but in many of.
- 1:01:43Speaker 8: These buildings, they start out working together, and then the
- 1:01:47Speaker 8: praying start.
- 1:01:48Speaker 12: Either you have successes get in the way. It's true
- 1:01:52Speaker 12: the GM drafts a player.
- 1:01:55Speaker 8: And the coach doesn't develop him, and he blames him,
- 1:01:57Speaker 8: and then the coaches starts saying you're not getting the talent.
- 1:02:00Speaker 12: All of a sudden, you have ripped inside the building. Okay,
- 1:02:02Speaker 12: it happens all the time.
- 1:02:03Speaker 8: In this sleep. So that's the reason I'm sitting here
- 1:02:06Speaker 8: making this case that if that happens, and it happens
- 1:02:10Speaker 8: where guys come in together, why not start over again
- 1:02:16Speaker 8: so you can.
- 1:02:17Speaker 12: Avoid that.
- 1:02:21Speaker 7: Back in a moment. That's that's a fair question. See,
- 1:02:25Speaker 7: that's a good I mean, we should let's dig into
- 1:02:27Speaker 7: that when we come back, because that's a I want
- 1:02:30Speaker 7: to unpack that more and it'd be curious to understand,
- 1:02:33Speaker 7: and we I guess we'll never know. I'm sure Sean
- 1:02:35Speaker 7: looked into this. How did Trent and Doug work together
- 1:02:38Speaker 7: because I had to go into weighing the decision to
- 1:02:40Speaker 7: let one go and not both, because he felt like
- 1:02:44Speaker 7: Trent was doing a good enough job as far as
- 1:02:46Speaker 7: the procurement side of the business, and that really was
- 1:02:50Speaker 7: the coaching side, right, I mean, I mean, that's what
- 1:02:52Speaker 7: that's what the decision sounds like.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: We'll get into that when we come back. We've got fanatics,
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: fan questions. A little later, we got to go around
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: the league. We gotta say goodbye for the seat as well.
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: That's all ahead and is Jaguars Happy Hour presented by
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: mister Chubby's Wings.
- 1:03:08Speaker 15: Obviously, it's unfortunate because at the end of the day,
- 1:03:12Speaker 15: we all had a hand and you know, this season
- 1:03:15Speaker 15: and just how the way things have shaken out. I
- 1:03:18Speaker 15: have a ton of respect for Doug. He's maybe a
- 1:03:21Speaker 15: better football player, a better man, and you know, I
- 1:03:24Speaker 15: think he's one of the better coaches who have coached
- 1:03:27Speaker 15: in this league. And it's just unfortunate the way that
- 1:03:30Speaker 15: things went. But obviously the organization has to make a
- 1:03:33Speaker 15: decision that they feel his best going forward.
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: It's Christian Kirk, Jaguars wide receiver, in the locker room
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: earlier today, and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour, our
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: number two presented by Mister Chubby's Wings J. P. Shadwick
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: with Tony Bisselli from Hyundai Studios inside the Miller Electric Center.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Pete Prisco is that in South Florida, we've got fanatics,
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: fan questions coming up, but a lot on the plate today.
- 1:04:00Speaker 12: And by the way, I gotta ask you this, did
- 1:04:04Speaker 12: the quarterback that talk today.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence was not in the locker room during media time.
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: I'll say that I don't know if he was in
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: the building or what.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: I think.
- 1:04:13Speaker 7: They just very interesting, Pete. It's not what you think
- 1:04:18Speaker 7: he was not. And I'm not going to get into why.
- 1:04:21Speaker 7: It's no one's business, but it's not. There's no there's
- 1:04:27Speaker 7: no scandalous story behind it, Pete. Is my point, trust me.
- 1:04:30Speaker 7: I'm just telling you, well.
- 1:04:33Speaker 12: You must have thought it. Then if you found out why.
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: No, I didn't even know. He didn't speak until he
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: was told told me why he didn't. So there's nothing scandalous, nothing,
- 1:04:44Speaker 7: there's no story, there is my point.
- 1:04:45Speaker 12: Anybody talk to Doug.
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: I don't know, but I don't think so.
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe, but I don't know, I don't
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: know the answer to that.
- 1:04:54Speaker 7: So what we we ended the last segment. I mean,
- 1:04:56Speaker 7: I think I think Pete one of the things. And
- 1:05:01Speaker 7: I get, by the way, your position and it's the
- 1:05:04Speaker 7: position of our fans that are not happy that there
- 1:05:08Speaker 7: was not a complete cleaning of the house. I get it.
- 1:05:10Speaker 7: I mean, I'm getting just attacked right now from all sides,
- 1:05:15Speaker 7: from all sides, like I like, I am like attacked
- 1:05:17Speaker 7: because I'm not I am not leading with torches and pitchforks.
- 1:05:24Speaker 7: The execution of Trembulk. I mean they, I mean, they
- 1:05:29Speaker 7: people want him gone. They called they called you a turncoat,
- 1:05:32Speaker 7: they called me ant, I mean, that's like as bad
- 1:05:34Speaker 7: as it comes. Ieted me and said, I got I
- 1:05:41Speaker 7: got all kinds of things in my ex feed over
- 1:05:43Speaker 7: the last hour and a half peat since we've had
- 1:05:45Speaker 7: the show. And I get it understood. I understand there's
- 1:05:51Speaker 7: blood in the water. My point is the evaluation was done,
- 1:05:58Speaker 7: and you can disagree with it, but the evaluation done
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: by Sean felt like the area that need to be
- 1:06:05Speaker 7: addressed immediately was the head coach. And I and I fine,
- 1:06:11Speaker 7: and I'm not saying that what Trent has done is
- 1:06:16Speaker 7: not is above criticism over the last three plus years
- 1:06:21Speaker 7: he's been here. I'm not saying that at all. I
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: mean it's fair to be critical. We have not won
- 1:06:25Speaker 7: enough games and because of that, at the end of
- 1:06:28Speaker 7: the day, that's what we're all judged by in this business, players,
- 1:06:31Speaker 7: coaches and GMS, front office people. Owners, that's what we're
- 1:06:36Speaker 7: judged by. And when you don't hit the standard, there's
- 1:06:40Speaker 7: demand from the fan base of changing. My only point
- 1:06:44Speaker 7: is is if you look at it, you have an owner.
- 1:06:49Speaker 7: While you might not be fully satisfied because the GM
- 1:06:51Speaker 7: is still here made a decision that a lot of
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: other teams in similar situations did not and stood pat
- 1:06:59Speaker 7: on their head coach. And it's not like Doug Peterson
- 1:07:04Speaker 7: does not have success and has not done good things,
- 1:07:08Speaker 7: but Sean felt like it was not good enough. And
- 1:07:11Speaker 7: I think making these blanket and this is why I
- 1:07:15Speaker 7: had to ask the conversation to Pete. What's more important
- 1:07:17Speaker 7: the head coach with the GM I and I and
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: Pete and I agree, by the way, talent is, it's
- 1:07:22Speaker 7: Jimmy's and Joe's at the end of the day, and
- 1:07:24Speaker 7: who needs be also included in this accountability And if
- 1:07:27Speaker 7: you're a fan, and I've been one of these guys.
- 1:07:31Speaker 7: It's the players. You should hold them accountable too. They
- 1:07:33Speaker 7: didn't play good enough. They did not.
- 1:07:39Speaker 12: But well they didn't do anything good enough.
- 1:07:41Speaker 7: That's my point. Pete and and I and so we
- 1:07:48Speaker 7: got it has to be better across the board. And
- 1:07:53Speaker 7: if you listen to Sean's press conference, he's very clear
- 1:07:57Speaker 7: it needs to get better. It's not good enough right now.
- 1:07:59Speaker 7: I believe the decision to move into a new head
- 1:08:02Speaker 7: coach direction is going to solve the problem. I'm comfortable that. However,
- 1:08:07Speaker 7: if someone brings a better decision or better solution or
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: structure or whatever, I'm wide open because I just want
- 1:08:16Speaker 7: to win. I mean, what else do you want from
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: an owner?
- 1:08:19Speaker 16: Well, I'm gonna started anew what you could have started
- 1:08:24Speaker 16: a new Let's go back to what we were saying
- 1:08:26Speaker 16: before the before the break, about the egos and the
- 1:08:29Speaker 16: friction and the relationships and the GM.
- 1:08:32Speaker 12: And the coach and the front office being blamed, blaming
- 1:08:35Speaker 12: the personnel.
- 1:08:36Speaker 8: Staff, blaming the coaches for not developing the coaches, blaming
- 1:08:40Speaker 8: the personnel staff or not getting them players.
- 1:08:42Speaker 12: That goes on in every single building. So all I'm
- 1:08:45Speaker 12: saying is Tony.
- 1:08:47Speaker 8: When you're starting anew from a if you're starting as
- 1:08:52Speaker 8: a new head coach and you're going into a building
- 1:08:55Speaker 8: and you're being forced to work with somebody who you're
- 1:08:59Speaker 8: not necessarily align with or comfortable with or even know
- 1:09:05Speaker 8: very well, and the whole thing up even more.
- 1:09:10Speaker 7: To have problems, not always people, not always.
- 1:09:14Speaker 8: We're just gonna come in what because because every guy
- 1:09:18Speaker 8: that's ever left that's worked with Trent Falkey has gone out.
- 1:09:22Speaker 12: Joe it was wonderful.
- 1:09:24Speaker 8: Let's see Jim Kelly nor Ball, No Jim Tom Sulla,
- 1:09:30Speaker 8: no Urban Meyer.
- 1:09:31Speaker 7: No, can we know? Can we not include Meyer? I mean,
- 1:09:36Speaker 7: Trent Palky did not stay in Cincinnati, and and and but.
- 1:09:43Speaker 9: I know, but I know.
- 1:09:46Speaker 7: I'm just telling you, like, like set aside. Urban, I
- 1:09:50Speaker 7: will let you go with the rest. Urban Meyer stayed
- 1:09:52Speaker 7: behind after Thursday night football to hang out and have
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: his hands wander to areas of a female that is
- 1:10:00Speaker 7: not his wife. You can't put that on Trent Bulky.
- 1:10:05Speaker 7: That is not No. I've been as critical as anybody
- 1:10:08Speaker 7: of Trent of good, bad and different, and I have
- 1:10:11Speaker 7: a real Himurban Meyer. P that's ridiculous.
- 1:10:15Speaker 8: Let's let's take the let's take the little escapade at
- 1:10:18Speaker 8: the bar out of the equation.
- 1:10:20Speaker 12: He wasn't any good to begin with, was he?
- 1:10:22Speaker 7: Yeah, but you're making the assumption that was Trent's higher.
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: Let's steakhouse is closed.
- 1:10:26Speaker 7: By the way, he was part of it, Pete, I
- 1:10:32Speaker 7: think you're making assumptions. I just don't know if it's.
- 1:10:35Speaker 12: True he was part of it. And so okay, so
- 1:10:40Speaker 12: let's just say every guy that's ever worked with him
- 1:10:43Speaker 12: has had a problem with him, the coaches, right, that's
- 1:10:46Speaker 12: the perception, right of course.
- 1:10:49Speaker 8: So why why would you subject a new coach and
- 1:10:55Speaker 8: a new guy that you're trying to change the culture
- 1:10:58Speaker 8: and like you talk about so having somebody left that
- 1:11:03Speaker 8: was part of the bad culture, than are you?
- 1:11:10Speaker 5: Are you?
- 1:11:12Speaker 7: Did you like? His point is if just making sure
- 1:11:15Speaker 7: he's done, because I couldn't tell if his internet went
- 1:11:17Speaker 7: out again or if he's done talking.
- 1:11:19Speaker 9: Oh, I was done.
- 1:11:20Speaker 7: I was done.
- 1:11:21Speaker 12: He didn't want to answer the question.
- 1:11:22Speaker 9: No, I did not know. That's not at all.
- 1:11:23Speaker 7: I thought you froze.
- 1:11:24Speaker 9: Literally, you know that weird.
- 1:11:25Speaker 7: I think that you're that dumb look on your face,
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: and I thought it was frozen.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: If they're all in it together, then why are they
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: not all out of it together.
- 1:11:33Speaker 7: That's a fair question.
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: And if it's a team, hey, we're all in this
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: thing together, then why is one person out?
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: And that's a big question I think a lot of people.
- 1:11:43Speaker 7: Have and that's a fair question. And I don't have
- 1:11:45Speaker 7: a good answer for that, because I think that would
- 1:11:48Speaker 7: have been a good question that shot. I don't know.
- 1:11:51Speaker 7: I didn't I wasn't part of the decision making process.
- 1:11:54Speaker 7: And I get that. And and by the way, a
- 1:11:57Speaker 7: lot of people, not everyone, but a lot of people
- 1:12:00Speaker 7: in the league feel that that the GM and the
- 1:12:02Speaker 7: head coach of be in it together. And if you
- 1:12:04Speaker 7: fire one, you fire the other.
- 1:12:06Speaker 12: Hey. And by the way, most gentle managers don't get
- 1:12:10Speaker 12: three coaches.
- 1:12:12Speaker 7: They usually get two.
- 1:12:16Speaker 12: Or or what next? Including two first overall?
- 1:12:21Speaker 7: But but just fair and pe that brings up a
- 1:12:24Speaker 7: fair point, and it's a fair question, but it's not
- 1:12:26Speaker 7: doesn't happen like that everywhere. Like Howie Roseman up in
- 1:12:31Speaker 7: Philly has been the head coach, been the GM for
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: a lot of head coaches. Three off the top of
- 1:12:36Speaker 7: my head I can think of, and maybe it's more
- 1:12:39Speaker 7: how many is it? How he been the GM for
- 1:12:41Speaker 7: in Philly Pete, Chip uh Nick Sirianni, Doug Peterson, anyone
- 1:12:48Speaker 7: else who was before Chip? Was he the head coach
- 1:12:51Speaker 7: with Howie the GM before Chip.
- 1:12:54Speaker 12: I think, so I do too. I gotta look at it.
- 1:12:57Speaker 12: But okay, but he won't he's one Pete.
- 1:13:00Speaker 7: I get that. No, no, no, Well, and I think
- 1:13:02Speaker 7: the reason that Trent got so much leeway in San
- 1:13:06Speaker 7: Francisco because with Jim Harborough he went to three NFC
- 1:13:12Speaker 7: championships in the Super Bowl, so he won there.
- 1:13:16Speaker 8: But if he had just left it alone, if they
- 1:13:18Speaker 8: had just stayed together, they would have they would have
- 1:13:20Speaker 8: continued to win it probably would have won a super Bowl.
- 1:13:22Speaker 12: But of course they had to get they had to
- 1:13:24Speaker 12: start going at each other. I mean, that's the problem.
- 1:13:27Speaker 7: I get that, but I'm speaking to the point of
- 1:13:29Speaker 7: why is he got more? I think you make a
- 1:13:32Speaker 7: fair point. Is I'm actually agreeing with you because most
- 1:13:35Speaker 7: of the time you don't get that many head coaches.
- 1:13:41Speaker 12: Jim Harball is not the easiest guy in the world
- 1:13:42Speaker 12: to work with either.
- 1:13:45Speaker 7: He's different, he's a but by the way, he's a
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: dang good head coach. Bo j That's another one they
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: did today.
- 1:13:58Speaker 12: They firmly pointed the finger. Doug Peterson.
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: Can't I cannot argue that, Pete. I can't. I can't.
- 1:14:07Speaker 12: They absolved the general manager.
- 1:14:09Speaker 7: I disagree with that. I did not hear him job.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like a glowing endorsement.
- 1:14:15Speaker 5: Zoom.
- 1:14:16Speaker 7: That's exactly right, Pete. I don't think that was a
- 1:14:18Speaker 7: glowing endorsement. Like, hey, like I'm happy with everything going on.
- 1:14:23Speaker 7: I mean, he literally said in the press conference at
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: the end, if someone has like like I'm wide open,
- 1:14:29Speaker 7: I want to win. I mean, Pete, you know, I
- 1:14:31Speaker 7: mean you you've brought that up as well. Was that
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: not said?
- 1:14:36Speaker 12: It was said? It was, But he also said he
- 1:14:38Speaker 12: might be bringing somebody above.
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: Right, He also said that too, So like, I guess
- 1:14:45Speaker 7: my bigger point is, let's all take a deep breath,
- 1:14:49Speaker 7: like there's a lot of runway still in front of us,
- 1:14:54Speaker 7: a lot of road, a lot of road to travel,
- 1:14:58Speaker 7: and so let's get down the road a little bit
- 1:14:59Speaker 7: for or to see how this thing plays out.
- 1:15:02Speaker 8: We're, you know, the road that Benn travel has been
- 1:15:06Speaker 8: driven off the cliff by the guy who's still making
- 1:15:08Speaker 8: a decision.
- 1:15:10Speaker 12: Right over the side.
- 1:15:11Speaker 7: Well, wait a second, what guy.
- 1:15:15Speaker 12: Football decisions? Right now as we speak, who's making the
- 1:15:18Speaker 12: football decisions.
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: Well, head coach picking the head coach of Shot Khan,
- 1:15:24Speaker 7: not Trent.
- 1:15:25Speaker 8: No, who's making the football decisions for the organization as
- 1:15:28Speaker 8: we speak right now?
- 1:15:32Speaker 12: Hire somebody, cut somebody who's making those decisions.
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: Well, it depends at the level, at some level, I
- 1:15:37Speaker 7: think it still goes through Shot Pete. I think Trent
- 1:15:39Speaker 7: is good Like I don't think Shot. I don't think
- 1:15:41Speaker 7: Trent is going to make it. I don't think let's
- 1:15:44Speaker 7: use an example, I don't think Trent has the ability
- 1:15:46Speaker 7: to go trade Josh heinz Allen for somebody else or
- 1:15:50Speaker 7: picks or anything else without Shot signing off on it.
- 1:15:53Speaker 8: Of course not but but but again, he's the one
- 1:15:56Speaker 8: who's going to make that decision to bring it.
- 1:15:58Speaker 12: To him, is he not?
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: Today?
- 1:16:00Speaker 7: Yes, that's exactly right.
- 1:16:01Speaker 12: Yes see.
- 1:16:02Speaker 8: And here's something I'm gonna say right now, And I
- 1:16:05Speaker 8: said this all season long. When Seod came out and
- 1:16:08Speaker 8: made the comment about the best team ever put together
- 1:16:11Speaker 8: in Jaguars history, whether he said that in history or
- 1:16:15Speaker 8: since he's been here, that information came from the general manager.
- 1:16:22Speaker 12: And when it comes from the general manager, who's ultimately
- 1:16:26Speaker 12: behind and who's.
- 1:16:28Speaker 8: Ultimately responsible doesn't work well, it played out exactly that way.
- 1:16:33Speaker 12: It didn't work.
- 1:16:34Speaker 8: And who got fired not the guy who had the
- 1:16:37Speaker 8: talented roster, the best in the history of mankind. They
- 1:16:41Speaker 8: got fired was the coach and not the general manager.
- 1:16:44Speaker 7: You're right about that, and you and I have talked
- 1:16:47Speaker 7: at length on the show. We both disagree with the comment,
- 1:16:50Speaker 7: whether it's looking at the history of the Jaguars or
- 1:16:52Speaker 7: even just in SHOT's been the owner. I don't think
- 1:16:55Speaker 7: I said this before going into the season. I didn't
- 1:16:57Speaker 7: think this was the most talented roster.
- 1:16:58Speaker 12: Well where did jod get that from?
- 1:17:00Speaker 7: I don't again, Pete. The only the only thing I
- 1:17:03Speaker 7: claimed it wasn't him I know is Doug didn't tell.
- 1:17:06Speaker 8: Him that because because because no coach is ever going
- 1:17:09Speaker 8: to put himself with the bullseye.
- 1:17:12Speaker 12: We got the most talented team we've ever had. You
- 1:17:14Speaker 12: win four games out the door.
- 1:17:16Speaker 7: I don't know if it was Trent or maybe it
- 1:17:18Speaker 7: was somebody on Trend's team. I don't know who said it. Pete.
- 1:17:23Speaker 7: I really don't let's come back.
- 1:17:24Speaker 8: Because I got a plot of land in the middle
- 1:17:25Speaker 8: of the ever Glady, you might be interested in buying
- 1:17:28Speaker 8: the same things.
- 1:17:29Speaker 12: Come on.
- 1:17:29Speaker 9: You know who said it. I don't.
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: It's waterfront property though.
- 1:17:33Speaker 7: Pete, because a lot of around a good view.
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: Snakes close to wildlife.
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: Back in a moment, Fanatics fan questions when we return,
- 1:17:47Speaker 3: it's Shaguars Happy Hour presented by mister Chubby's Wings.
- 1:17:54Speaker 17: It's definitely something that me personally, I don't want to
- 1:17:56Speaker 17: hear that thing. He's a great coach. He's not some
- 1:17:59Speaker 17: great things at his organization, and he's a great guy,
- 1:18:02Speaker 17: great coach. Like I said, I won't wish that on anyone,
- 1:18:05Speaker 17: but you know his life. We all faced with obstacles
- 1:18:09Speaker 17: in life and we just got to keep going.
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: Trayvon Walker in the locker room today his reaction to
- 1:18:14Speaker 3: the Doug Peterson firing earlier.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: Welcome back.
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: It is Jaguars Happy Hour JP Shadwick with Pete Prisco
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: and Tony Vaselli and it is time now for the
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: Fanatics fan question. Jaguars fans gear up at fanatics dot

- 1:18:32Speaker 3: get today's special offer. Fanatics dot Com officially licensed everything
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: we put the catcall out earlier on Acts. Here's the
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: best we've come up with at coach K Sowers. Do
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: you think Brian Thomas Junior saved Balky's job?
- 1:18:46Speaker 7: I do not.
- 1:18:48Speaker 9: No, I do not, So he did not.
- 1:18:52Speaker 12: But you could go back and say this guy to
- 1:18:55Speaker 12: this guy, have gotten a fired and you don't do that.
- 1:18:58Speaker 9: So no, did not save it? Here can I?
- 1:19:01Speaker 7: And this isn't just a Trent issue or about Trent.
- 1:19:04Speaker 7: This is overall anyway like I would love and I
- 1:19:11Speaker 7: don't know the answered this. Where do you think Brian
- 1:19:14Speaker 7: Thomas Jr. Was on their board as far as receivers?
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: Mhm? Was he their top guy? Or was there's no
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: chance Neighbors above him or whoever?
- 1:19:25Speaker 7: Okay, yeah it was.
- 1:19:26Speaker 12: It was probably like everybody else in the league. They
- 1:19:28Speaker 12: probably had Harrison and Neighbors.
- 1:19:30Speaker 7: He was probably fourth.
- 1:19:33Speaker 12: A doonsday was ahead of them, I mean most likely.
- 1:19:36Speaker 7: I mean okay, but let's say they'll never admit that
- 1:19:39Speaker 7: they won't. Okay, let's guy. Let's say they had him
- 1:19:42Speaker 7: really high and you knew he was going to be
- 1:19:46Speaker 7: this good. Then would your risk trading down three times?
- 1:19:51Speaker 9: Right?
- 1:19:52Speaker 12: No, got all those extra picks for next year?
- 1:19:55Speaker 7: Okay, let me go back one more, let me go,
- 1:19:59Speaker 7: did you hit new GM will use what they bring him.
- 1:20:02Speaker 7: Let me go back one more thing. If you knew,
- 1:20:04Speaker 7: like here's their thing, we would have never drafted Brian
- 1:20:07Speaker 7: Thomas Jr. If Calvin Ridley at the twenty third hour
- 1:20:14Speaker 7: didn't take a deal from the Titans because he was
- 1:20:16Speaker 7: coming signing here.
- 1:20:19Speaker 12: And yet you just sit there and defend the hell
- 1:20:21Speaker 12: out of the decision to keep the guys.
- 1:20:22Speaker 7: I'm not I'm just saying this is the big My
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: whole point is, this isn't about Trent, It's the whole league.
- 1:20:29Speaker 7: Is no pete, it's not. I'm making the case that
- 1:20:31Speaker 7: you have to look at the whole thing from the
- 1:20:33Speaker 7: whole league. Sometimes teams luck into I'll give you another
- 1:20:38Speaker 7: example of Baltimore Ravens, who's one of the best organizations.
- 1:20:41Speaker 7: Ozzy Smith one of the best gms. He's a shortstop
- 1:20:46Speaker 7: short for the Cardinals. Ozzie Newsom, one of the great
- 1:20:51Speaker 7: gms in the history of this league. John Harball, great
- 1:20:54Speaker 7: head coach, the new GM under Er Costa other really
- 1:21:00Speaker 7: good was groomed under Ozzie. Great front office, great organization.
- 1:21:05Speaker 7: I love how they do it. They have an identity,
- 1:21:06Speaker 7: know who they are. They draft people they drafted so
- 1:21:11Speaker 7: you think they knew Lamar Jackson was gonna be Lamar
- 1:21:13Speaker 7: Jackson drafting thirty first, thirty second. No, if they did,
- 1:21:19Speaker 7: they would have traded up and figured out. Now, I'll
- 1:21:22Speaker 7: give the Chiefs credit because they had conviction that Pat
- 1:21:25Speaker 7: Mahomes was gonna be Pat Mahomes, and they traded to
- 1:21:27Speaker 7: go get them. The Ravens were fortunate. Now what they
- 1:21:32Speaker 7: once they got him, what they did a great job
- 1:21:35Speaker 7: of doing is building a system that helped him develop
- 1:21:39Speaker 7: and took advantage of his skills early. My point is,
- 1:21:42Speaker 7: do you think Bill Belichick that Tom Brady knew Tom
- 1:21:45Speaker 7: Brady was gonna be the greatest quarterback ever?
- 1:21:46Speaker 12: They got lucky.
- 1:21:47Speaker 9: They got lucky.
- 1:21:48Speaker 7: He was a sixth rounder. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes
- 1:21:51Speaker 7: the ball.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: Bounces your way.
- 1:21:54Speaker 7: That's all I'm saying, Pete.
- 1:21:56Speaker 8: Yeah, but you also go spend a boatload of money
- 1:21:58Speaker 8: in a bunch of free agents that they'll I'm not.
- 1:22:00Speaker 7: I'm not talking about this year, Pete. I'm I wasn't
- 1:22:03Speaker 7: even talking about.
- 1:22:03Speaker 12: Talking in general. I'm talking about this team.
- 1:22:06Speaker 9: This team. I'm not.
- 1:22:08Speaker 7: I was just talking about in general. Like I always
- 1:22:09Speaker 7: loved that these fans and US talking heads make these
- 1:22:12Speaker 7: comments like, oh, did Brian Thomas saves job? Like, hold on,
- 1:22:16Speaker 7: I think we got a little bit fortunate.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: Little detailed.
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: Didn't the Ravens trade back up to thirty second to
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: get that last pick in twenty eighteen?
- 1:22:24Speaker 12: I think they did, Pete, didn't somebody pass on on
- 1:22:28Speaker 12: Mr Jackson?
- 1:22:29Speaker 7: Everybody did that. Everyone did a certain.
- 1:22:32Speaker 12: Team when there were a certain team that passed on
- 1:22:34Speaker 12: them right before that.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of picks before got a big defensive tackle.
- 1:22:41Speaker 7: My point is, I don't know if they traded back
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: up in or not. I think they did.
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: I'm looking at it now.
- 1:22:47Speaker 7: My point is the pointment if they thought he was
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: going to be a three time MVP, they would have
- 1:22:51Speaker 7: got up to five. Everyone would have. That's my my
- 1:22:54Speaker 7: only point.
- 1:22:56Speaker 12: I mean you yeah, no, you're right, You're right. You
- 1:22:58Speaker 12: get lucky in the draft. Something you can do all
- 1:23:00Speaker 12: the evaluation.
- 1:23:02Speaker 7: That's my old boy, Pete. Like free agency is different
- 1:23:05Speaker 7: because you have a body of work the drafts sometimes,
- 1:23:08Speaker 7: and Pete you know this as well as anybody, because
- 1:23:10Speaker 7: you crap out all the time in the drafts as
- 1:23:12Speaker 7: I do, of making like these statements.
- 1:23:14Speaker 12: Everybody craps out every crap out everyone does.
- 1:23:17Speaker 7: It's it's it's it's rolling the dice.
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: By the way I did the Ravens game Saturday, I'm
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: looking at their offensive line, like six of the eight
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: guys that were on the roster or all drafted.
- 1:23:27Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a philosophy. That's why I loved him. They
- 1:23:29Speaker 7: do it the right way. If I was gonna be
- 1:23:31Speaker 7: critical about anything, it's like, why haven't we developed offensive
- 1:23:35Speaker 7: linemen here? Now? Am I just pointing a finger at Trent. No,
- 1:23:39Speaker 7: that's picking and developing, that's coaching and scouting. That's both.
- 1:23:44Speaker 7: We have not done a good enough job there.
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: Next question on x Fanatics fan questions love Tony, but
- 1:23:51Speaker 3: he's a mouthpiece for the Jags. Pete is the only
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: voice of reason. My question is what has Trent Balky
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: accomplished that has made the team better?
- 1:23:59Speaker 7: How did I go to over turncoat mouthpiece Pete. Pete's
- 1:24:04Speaker 7: making accusations. I'm getting paid off today.
- 1:24:08Speaker 12: I got a bonus. They're taking they're taking, you're taking
- 1:24:11Speaker 12: you down. I'm not a ceremony. It's coming down.
- 1:24:17Speaker 7: If you don't talk, well, I just don't say that
- 1:24:20Speaker 7: I've got a bonus, because then my wife is gonna
- 1:24:22Speaker 7: be like, where's the money you got paid for all this?
- 1:24:24Speaker 7: Pete said, you got paid. I ain't get paid anything.
- 1:24:27Speaker 12: And you know what, she'd probably rather have the rig
- 1:24:30Speaker 12: of honor thing come down than not get the bonus.
- 1:24:32Speaker 7: True. True, I don't appreciate the mouth like, you know what,
- 1:24:37Speaker 7: Let me say this, the question is yeah, I'll let
- 1:24:40Speaker 7: Pete answer it to be clear to everyone who's saying
- 1:24:43Speaker 7: I'm a turncoat mouthpiece or anything else. Just to be clear, No,
- 1:24:47Speaker 7: I know I'm I'm going to lean in and towards
- 1:24:55Speaker 7: defending this organization. And if you haven't figured that out yet,
- 1:25:00Speaker 7: then you're not very smart. I love this place. I
- 1:25:03Speaker 7: work for this place. I believe in this place, and
- 1:25:06Speaker 7: I want this place to be great. I think seot Cohn,
- 1:25:09Speaker 7: I don't agree with everything, like has he got everything right? No,
- 1:25:12Speaker 7: but I think he's one hell of an owner and
- 1:25:14Speaker 7: I think we're very fortunate to have him as an owner.
- 1:25:18Speaker 12: And I would agree with that.
- 1:25:19Speaker 7: So like, if you want to call me a job,
- 1:25:22Speaker 7: by the way, this is the best job in the NFL,
- 1:25:25Speaker 7: and I will say that I think it's still the
- 1:25:27Speaker 7: best job with Trent Bulk is the gym and I've
- 1:25:31Speaker 7: disagreed with trendon times I've agreed with him. I mean,
- 1:25:35Speaker 7: nobody's perfect, but if you like, just so you know,
- 1:25:38Speaker 7: if you're gonna listen to the show, and so you
- 1:25:39Speaker 7: can stop texting or tweeting or exing or posting stupid stuff.
- 1:25:45Speaker 7: It's not me being a turncoat. I'm not getting paid extra.
- 1:25:47Speaker 7: I work for this organization. I love this organization, and
- 1:25:50Speaker 7: when it comes that the chips are on the table,
- 1:25:52Speaker 7: I'm going to bat for this organization because I believe
- 1:25:56Speaker 7: in it and I believe we will win a championship
- 1:25:58Speaker 7: here and I'm going to be a part of it
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: when it happened.
- 1:26:00Speaker 12: So and you know me, I'm gonna tell it like
- 1:26:02Speaker 12: it is, and I'm telling it like it is.
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: But Pete, I'm telling, and Pete, I love it. I'm
- 1:26:07Speaker 7: telling how I'm telling you, and I could be wrong
- 1:26:09Speaker 7: and I could have two colored glasses on, no doubt
- 1:26:11Speaker 7: about it. I've been called the sunshine pumper. I've been
- 1:26:13Speaker 7: called all kinds of things in this We.

- 1:26:42Speaker 7: on the market.
- 1:26:45Speaker 12: We'll see how he plays for full season. Don't you
- 1:26:47Speaker 12: can't just say three games. It's a great deal.

- 1:27:52Speaker 7: be blocking people based on the ex post.
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: I got to probably show and I will not block
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: any of you.
- 1:27:59Speaker 7: I love y'all to We have had.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: A draft and developed problem for decades. How do you
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: fix that?
- 1:28:05Speaker 7: It's a good it's a that's a that's a whole show.
- 1:28:08Speaker 7: That's a whole show. So like we don't have time,
- 1:28:10Speaker 7: but y and it goes back.
- 1:28:12Speaker 12: And it goes back to what we said earlier in
- 1:28:13Speaker 12: the year, Tony who got better?
- 1:28:14Speaker 7: So you staff, you have to I'm gonna say this
- 1:28:20Speaker 7: about the development. You have to be purposeful. It doesn't
- 1:28:22Speaker 7: it doesn't happen. You have to be purposeful. You have to.
- 1:28:25Speaker 7: You have to take advantage of the time you have
- 1:28:27Speaker 7: under the cb A. You have to structure it. I
- 1:28:30Speaker 7: mean it has to be like from everything you do
- 1:28:34Speaker 7: on the field, off the field, in the weight room,
- 1:28:35Speaker 7: nutrition development, like you have to maximize your time, and
- 1:28:39Speaker 7: you gotta have a like you have to be very
- 1:28:40Speaker 7: detail oriented and planned for it. And I just don't
- 1:28:44Speaker 7: think we've done a great jot.
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: Other teams do it. Yes, other teams have success to
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: developing and drafting, getting guys better.
- 1:28:50Speaker 12: I'm just I'm just glad. I'm just glad that they're
- 1:28:53Speaker 12: not getting rid of anybody in the cafeteria to clean house.
- 1:28:56Speaker 12: That's all that. And by the way, I heard de Rocco.
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: Asked that question, it was that'll do it. That's fanatics,
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: fan questions for the day. We had plenty of submissions today.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: These are the ones we can air. I'm kidding.
- 1:29:14Speaker 12: Keeping he deserves it.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Tony will not block anybody.
- 1:29:18Speaker 7: I'm not gonna. I will not. I will not block
- 1:29:20Speaker 7: any of You can say all the bad things you

- 1:29:36Speaker 3: said goodbye to Tony. His microphone's off. This It's Jaguar's
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: Happy Hour, presented by mister Chubby's Wings.
- 1:29:46Speaker 18: I'm gonna move back inside, uh next year. That was
- 1:29:49Speaker 18: That's gonna be my plan. You know, that was uh
- 1:29:54Speaker 18: what I wanted to do, you know this season.
- 1:29:56Speaker 7: As well too. But you know there's there's situations that
- 1:30:03Speaker 7: you have to deal with.
- 1:30:04Speaker 9: You know, in this league.
- 1:30:05Speaker 18: And yes, I'm a switch back inside, which was what
- 1:30:11Speaker 18: I wanted to do this season. And I'm a bet
- 1:30:16Speaker 18: back playing to you know, elite player that I know
- 1:30:19Speaker 18: I can be.
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: It's Eric Armstead in the locker room during clean out
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: day today, wants to move back inside.
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: Welcome back.
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: It is Jaguars Happy Hour presented by mister Chubby's Wings
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: and for eleven years, Dreamfinders Holmes has been proud to
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: call themselves the official homebuilder of the Jags. Visit dreamfinders
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: homes dot com for all the available inventory and go Jags.
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: Can we talk about that clip right there?
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: Yes?
- 1:30:44Speaker 7: Because Pete, did you hear what Eric arms is dead?
- 1:30:47Speaker 12: He wants to move back inside.
- 1:30:49Speaker 7: Nobody, I'm fine with what he said. He wants to
- 1:30:53Speaker 7: play inside next year. I'm still trying to figure out
- 1:30:57Speaker 7: he said he wanted that he wanted to play inside
- 1:31:00Speaker 7: this year, right like so who made them play outside,
- 1:31:04Speaker 7: because we thought, like you and I both thought, because
- 1:31:07Speaker 7: this is what kind of we were told it was
- 1:31:09Speaker 7: Trent that, but it sounds like it was the coaching
- 1:31:12Speaker 7: staff wanted them outside well, and and.
- 1:31:16Speaker 12: Part of the reason was because, like you said, all year,
- 1:31:18Speaker 12: they didn't have anybody. Maybe had a necessity, but he
- 1:31:21Speaker 12: should have pushed back harder on that. I'm not a man,
- 1:31:24Speaker 12: I'm a defensive interior.
- 1:31:26Speaker 7: Out of like, out of everything we've talked about today,
- 1:31:30Speaker 7: that was the most shocking comments of the weekend.
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: Back he was saying it earlier in the locker room,
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: and I was like, this sounds weird. So you mean
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: you're gonna move inside or outside? I asked him, and
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: that was the answer.
- 1:31:40Speaker 7: It's like, honestly, the most fascinating thing I've heard. I'm like,
- 1:31:44Speaker 7: wait a second, I thought you wanted to be outside
- 1:31:46Speaker 7: or Trent puts you outside, or like it sounds like
- 1:31:49Speaker 7: the coaches were making you play outside, Like what?
- 1:31:52Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 1:31:53Speaker 12: So was the whole staff relieved their duties today?
- 1:31:56Speaker 7: By the way, I don't know, because Pete, I don't
- 1:31:59Speaker 7: know the official because I mean, for everyone listening, the
- 1:32:04Speaker 7: only thing we know is that Doug was let go.
- 1:32:07Speaker 7: The rest of the coaches are still under contract, so
- 1:32:09Speaker 7: it's the team's discretion to keep them under contract while
- 1:32:12Speaker 7: they go look for a new head coach. That the
- 1:32:14Speaker 7: new head coach can keep guys if he wants to
- 1:32:17Speaker 7: keep them.
- 1:32:18Speaker 12: So some of those guys have three years on their deal, so.
- 1:32:21Speaker 7: They have two years left just in defense offensive staff.
- 1:32:24Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, well some of them will have expiring contracts.
- 1:32:27Speaker 7: Though, well I know two for sure of expiring contracts
- 1:32:30Speaker 7: on offense, right right.
- 1:32:32Speaker 8: So that was never a good situation to begin with.
- 1:32:35Speaker 8: That's a whole other issue. But I just I'm curious
- 1:32:39Speaker 8: to think, like, who would like the special teams have
- 1:32:42Speaker 8: been great?
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: Maybe you keep I'd keep Heath for sure.
- 1:32:45Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 1:32:46Speaker 7: My recommendation to a head coach coming in a new
- 1:32:49Speaker 7: head coach is I would definitely interview Heath and I'd
- 1:32:52Speaker 7: keep Heath if I was you. I think he did
- 1:32:54Speaker 7: an outstanding jobs, a great job.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: Let's get to the wild card we can really quick.
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: I want to say good bye.
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: Okay, let's get through the games fast. We'll just pick
- 1:33:04Speaker 3: them real quick. Chargers at Texans, it's the four thirty
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: Saturday game.
- 1:33:09Speaker 7: Chargers.
- 1:33:09Speaker 12: Charge Chargers. They always put the AHD South at four
- 1:33:12Speaker 12: thirty on Saturday.
- 1:33:13Speaker 7: Must we play because we played at night against the Chargers?
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we did did?
- 1:33:19Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right.
- 1:33:20Speaker 3: So keep the Steelers at the Ravens at eight o'clock.
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: Steelers stink right now?
- 1:33:27Speaker 17: Uh.
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: Sunday one o'clock. Broncos at the Bills.
- 1:33:31Speaker 7: Bills, Bills.
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: Sunday four thirty. The Packers at the Eagles.
- 1:33:37Speaker 7: Who Eagles. It's a good game.
- 1:33:39Speaker 12: I wish, I wish, I wish Watson wasn't hurting out
- 1:33:43Speaker 12: for the year. But I'm gonna take I took the
- 1:33:45Speaker 12: Packers before the season. I'm sticking with him. Hurts is
- 1:33:47Speaker 12: coming off concussion that worries me, and he hasn't been
- 1:33:50Speaker 12: cleared yet.
- 1:33:50Speaker 3: Yeah, this could be one of the best games of
- 1:33:53Speaker 3: the entire first time the Commanders. Commanders at Buccaneers. I'm
- 1:33:57Speaker 3: going Bucks.
- 1:33:58Speaker 12: I'm going Bucks. Last one with the full wins the.
- 1:34:01Speaker 3: Middle Bucks pinball football coming up in Tampa. And then
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: Monday night the Vikings at the Rams.
- 1:34:07Speaker 7: I think the Rams win because I think the Vikings
- 1:34:09Speaker 7: are going to be down emotionally after a tough game
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: against the Lions. It was physical, they lost. It was
- 1:34:16Speaker 7: closer than the score because they didn't execute in the
- 1:34:18Speaker 7: red zone. But I think I think a little bit
- 1:34:21Speaker 7: of wind is out of their sales not getting that
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: one seed. And I think the I think Sean McVay
- 1:34:25Speaker 7: has done a great job. I think the Rams win.
- 1:34:27Speaker 12: I think the Rams win two. And are we seeing
- 1:34:30Speaker 12: Sam Darnell become Sam Darnald.
- 1:34:32Speaker 7: I don't think so, Pete. I think that's just a
- 1:34:34Speaker 7: good It was a good football team, two good teams
- 1:34:36Speaker 7: on the road, and they said in executing the red
- 1:34:38Speaker 7: zone and he overthrew guys in the red.
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: Zone, that's fine.
- 1:34:41Speaker 12: What if he doesn't play, if he doesn't play.
- 1:34:43Speaker 7: Well this week, well then that's a different story.
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: So now we're back to that. Okay, that's all. It takes.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: One playoff game, one playoff games all take dude, it's
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: what have you done for me lately? In this league?
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: Especially paid, especially if you're a quarterback. Somebody will pay him, yeah,
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: I think so.
- 1:34:56Speaker 12: Oh yeah, the Vikings will pay them.
- 1:34:59Speaker 7: But here there's the difference. If he can go take
- 1:35:01Speaker 7: this team to the NFC title Game or let alone
- 1:35:05Speaker 7: or Super Bowl, he gets paid fifty. If he lose
- 1:35:08Speaker 7: Round one, he might only get paid thirty.
- 1:35:11Speaker 8: He's going to get at least Baker Mayfield deal plus inflation,
- 1:35:15Speaker 8: so he's at least going to get thirty seven.
- 1:35:16Speaker 7: Okay, but my point is if he goes to the
- 1:35:18Speaker 7: NFC Championship game or Super Bowl's getting fifty plus.
- 1:35:21Speaker 12: Yeah, maybe, yeah, probably.
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: All right, this is our last show. We're not having
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: one next week.
- 1:35:26Speaker 12: This is it.
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: And I don't know how many years we've been doing
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: this show, but it's been a pleasure to be back
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: with you guys again.
- 1:35:30Speaker 7: We've done it a long time, gosh, a long time.
- 1:35:33Speaker 8: And I mean we've been doing it so long that
- 1:35:34Speaker 8: when Tony first started, he used to criticize the team,
- 1:35:37Speaker 8: and now he's just the turn coke working for the team.
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: My god, we've got full circle.
- 1:35:43Speaker 7: Pete.
- 1:35:44Speaker 12: We really have had to cut off the callers because
- 1:35:46Speaker 12: he was mad.
- 1:35:47Speaker 7: That's right, lean he was mean, Pete. I love you,
- 1:35:50Speaker 7: always will even when you're wrong. Even when you're wrong, Pete,
- 1:35:54Speaker 7: which is often on this show.

- 1:35:58Speaker 2: I thought we were doing They banged it.
- 1:36:00Speaker 7: We're not doing. They said they don't want to hear
- 1:36:02Speaker 7: from us, enough of us.
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: Shut these guys down. That's what it is. Pete, what
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: do you got for the playoffs? He's in the studio.
- 1:36:11Speaker 12: I'm in studio all the whole time. And then I'll
- 1:36:14Speaker 12: be at the super Bowl. You going to super Bowl, Tony.
- 1:36:16Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll be down there during the week, Pete, I
- 1:36:18Speaker 7: got some stuff. I'm not gonna stay for the game.
- 1:36:20Speaker 7: I'm gonna get out of there, but I'll well, I'll
- 1:36:23Speaker 7: be there during the week. So we're going to dinner.

- 1:36:35Speaker 7: I love you like a brother. I've never hit you.
- 1:36:37Speaker 7: And even when I know, even when you're a dummy
- 1:36:39Speaker 7: and say stupid things, it just puts a smile.
- 1:36:43Speaker 12: I just want to know who got into your body today.

- 1:37:07Speaker 7: I not always said I will never hire or fire
- 1:37:09Speaker 7: anybody on the show. That's not my job and.
- 1:37:11Speaker 12: Nobody's asking you to. But you you had a different
