  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hello friends, It's time to talk about some Dallas Cowboys
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: football and some coaching search here and all that good stuff.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Storyline, Wednesday, January the twenty second. I'm Nick Eatman
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and I want to hear from you guys. I'm sure
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you have things to say. Eight A A eight five,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: five two two nine seven is the number to call.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Since we last met, the Cowboys have had three or
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: four different coaches that they've met with, including last night
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a long coaching visit interview with Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. That was the title. I say that in
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: air quotes because that's what it was. He was not
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the play caller, but he's the offensive coordinator and he's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: been the offensive coordinator for a lot of teams, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he's been quarterbacks coach. And it's been around for a while.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And as it stands right now and again, this show
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is you guys watch it at different times. Some people
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: watching live, some people watch it later in the day.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: As you know, it's nine thirty Central time here on Wednesday,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And I say this now, I think Brian Schottenheimer is
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the leader in the clubhouse to be the next head
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: coach of the Cowboys. I'm not sure that that's going
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to happen, but if you had to have a favorite,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I would I would say he's the guy, and him
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore probably the two front runners at the moment.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: The difference is is that Schottenheimer could be hired today
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore may not be for at least a week,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: or could be two more weeks after that, depending on
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what happens with the Eagles. All Right, seven is the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: number to call. I got two people already on the line.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Let's start it off with Robbie Koco Beachlorida.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: What's up, Nick, how's your day going going good?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: How are you, Robbie?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I'm good, But I wish we'd make a decision already. Well, no,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get I get due diligence and yeah,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: and interviewing, and I know the Fraser rule or whatever
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: was called the cameramember Rooney, Yeah, thank you, sorry, but man,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: it seems like we're just spinning gears, wasting time to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: find it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: But I know it's better to.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hire a good candidate than just hire somebody.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: So my question for.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: You today is playing the differences between Schottenheimer and Kellen Moore.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Can you do that for us?
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right? What uh all right? Thanks Robbie. I mean,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like the snarky answer to that is one of the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: coordinators is leading his team on the verge of the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and the other one is didn't call plays
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and and you know, had an offense and was supposed
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to be you know, kind of managing an offense that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that wasn't very good last year and uh, was not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: prepared all the time. I mean, that's one way to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: look at it. Shot Nimber has been around the league
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for a long long time as well, and you know
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: he obviously interviews well, there's no doubt about it. Here
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: he is getting a chance to interview with the Cowboys
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and and there's there's some people that that think that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he's he's the guy that they could be the next
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: head coach. And he's interviewed well in the past because
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he's gotten other jobs, hadn't stayed long in some of these,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: got got a lot going for him with you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: from a pedigree standpoint, you know, with his dad Marty Schottenheimer,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: uh and and and the people like a very likable
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: person without a doubt. Kellen. You know, we've just seen
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: him call plays and you know, then again, I mean
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you can you can poke holes and everything, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, how good is he when he's when he's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: when he's got sa Kuon Barkley running the ball. He
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was running the Chargers offense last year not so great,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and they had some weapons too, and then it didn't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: go so so great. We've seen him in Dallas. You know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Dak had one of his best years here with Kellen.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So I think, you know, a young, innovative, offensive mind
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: type guy. But it's more than that, you know, It's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it's more than that. It's also leading a team of men,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: grown men, Richmond. You know, how do you inspire them
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to go go play and go win games and and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and can they do that? And that's that's the big question.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So we'll we'll, we'll see. I think the players they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: might lean towards Schottenheimer, but I think that, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I think Dak would would be fine with with Kellen
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Moore as well. I'll just leave it at that I know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we got a lot more callers to to to get to.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Just on the surface, that's kind of the differences. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: think shotten Himer has been around, seeing a lot more,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: probably a lot more connections throughout the league. But Kellen's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: been here, been doing it for a while now as well,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was on the staff I think what twenty eighteen, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: guess maybe seventeen with the Cowboys quarterbacks coaches. Kind of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: worked himself up too, so he's been around. I think
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: both of them have evolved, and we'll see if they're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the only two, but those are the two that seem
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to be the favorites as we stand right now. Let's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: go Zach in Atlanta.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: Nick, how are you, my friend?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you?
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: I'm all right, man, I missed you. It's the once
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: a week thing is a new rhythm, but we're all
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: getting through it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Not a fan myself, I would like to be on
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it all the time, but you know, that's that's where
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we are taking a little bit of a break. But
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we still you know, you still got still got shows.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You know, at least two shows I think on the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: site every every day from Unday through Thursday. So not
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: bad but not the same that you don't get the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: chance to call in as much obviously as you doing
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah no, well, I mean you and Beam need an
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: off season.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Two.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I guess we're getting the more than being Beams running
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: point on everything. But shout out for y'all. Y'all are
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: the best duo.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: Well hey.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Obviously, last night, shottenheim Er interviewed, I've really been wanting
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: the coaching search to be beyond anybody who's been with
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: the Cowboys, at least in the past like twelve years, because, yeah,
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: Jason Garrett, you know Dak coming through Jason Garrett's offense,
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Kellen was in the fold and he's stuck around into
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: the Mike McCarthy era. And then even when I don't know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: I just feel like Dak has had the same offense
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: his whole career. Jason Garrett, Kellen Moore and even Mike
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: McCarthy k kept the same language, you know, some of
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: those ideas. And obviously, Brian Schottenheimer, he's the leading candidate,
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: so you know, Twitter says, and maybe he really is.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: You said that at the top of the show. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: two questions. One, can you give us just a vote
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: of confidence for Brian Schottenheimer. I mean, anything to pull
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: from because I'm not excited about him or tell him
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: honestly if they are the hires. So a vote of
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: confidence for Schottenheimer. And then do you think the offense
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: would be different? Because you know, he comes from football family,
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: he was in Seattle and all that. So what would
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: the offense look like if Schottenheimer had to range because
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: he wasn't calling place this year. So that's all I got. Man,
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: great to hear from you.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: I'll hang up and listen.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Well, thank Zach, thanks for the call. And here's the thing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot of confidence obviously in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that move. And they're not supposed to be I mean, honestly,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like like you, the fans are not supposed to have that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, why why would they? Again, I'm not trying
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to shoot this thing down. I'm just saying there, you know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: as a fan, if you're sitting here going, I don't
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense. It's not supposed to make sense,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like like, don't don't feel bad for that because you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: he the the track record doesn't show places that they've
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: been here for a long long time and a lot
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of success here, So his strength is not something you're
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: gonna see. It's obviously between in the interview rooms. It's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's meeting with it's it's the way you treat people,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the way the way he talks to to the coaches,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the players. You know, he's very very well
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: respected and well liked within the building. But that that's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: not the stuff you're going to see. What your fans
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: are going to look at and go, what are they done?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Where's the success and and and so that's hard to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: quantify right now because you're you're just not You're not
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: going to see that now, you what you ask for
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a vote of confidence? You know, I don't know what
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to think about the players liking the coach or voting
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: for this coach, because you know, high school students don't
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: get to pick their their their their principal, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: or or their teachers. They're going to go a different route.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: They want to go what's comfortable for them. So is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that the case or is it like, no, I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he will be great for this team. I don't know
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: like that. That one's hard. I think you just kind
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of put that one off to the side of what
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the what the players think you know, there's some talk
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: within the building that Schottenheimer got to have a little
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: bit more of a voice as the season went on,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: when they started having a little bit more success running
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the ball, offensive line, blocking schemes, things like that. At
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: least that's what we've been told a little bit. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that him and Mike, I'm not saying didn't see eye
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to eye, but didn't. He didn't get an opportunity to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: kind of voice his opinions as much. And so that's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are. It's a mystery. This
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: one's just kind of come out of nowhere because you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, he was he was the offensive
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: coordinator in title for an offense that that had, you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: left a lot on the table, and so you just
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: didn't expect that he would be the guy. But then again,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: there's things we don't see all the time as far
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: as a football mind and and and personality and leadership
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: traits that I think this team and some of the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: people here that the decision makers really really covet, really like,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and they think that that he could be, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a good leader for this team. So I don't know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not answering your question, probably because I don't have
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: those answers for you. I'm what I'm telling you is
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: is the things that the Cowboys like about Brian Schoenheimer
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: are things that go well beyond just stats that you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily see. All right, let's go to the Daveon
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: in Illinois.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: What was up?
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Was going on on?
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Buddy?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Just got to work, so yeah, you know where I'm at. Tired,
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: but uh, but they try to stay up to get
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: on because you know, you got the one time a week,
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: so I got to try to get in and get
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: get in when I can get in.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, man, appreciate it. What do you got?
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Uh, we had you know, had a space last night
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: and we're gonna have another one tonight. But I got
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: a I got a theory that I've been I was
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: just sitting there thinking about yesterday, about this coaching thing,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: and I was it might satisfy a lot of things
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: that with this team and kind of get your thoughts
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: on it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: My theory is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: We make Denver the coach, shout it out the OC,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: bring Jason Windey in. That's a I guess tight ends
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: coach most likely Keith Lounder as an offensive line coach.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: Maybe Phraser come in and be work with cameras uh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: defensive coordinator. Possibly. I was that they probably worked together
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: before they but they have it Zimber a place phrase
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: when he went to Minnesota. Yeah, so I thought they did.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: That's why I do Attle research and make sure I
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: was went tripping. But either way, because I know our
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: harrison is pretty much gone according to Patrick's ceing them,
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: so I would think you probably bring Phraser in. But
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: it satisfies a lot of things. I mean, if you
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: hire Zimmer, I think you know fans won't go too crazy.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Uh you bring in Jason to be against the hair pair,
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: which you know, that's what the room is. What they're
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: trying to do is have them somewhere on the staff
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: and then Shoty can still be to play callers. Dak
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: is comfortable. You know, they add whatever shot they wanted
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: to do last year they add into the office and
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: be able to get the same moving. And Uh yeah,
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: I think that that's there been in my head. I mean,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: I'm just trying to get myself off the ledge of
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: if we go with Shoty, I just I ain't really
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: try to feeling that at all, but you I will see.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: No, I'm with you there, and uh, thanks for the call, David.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a lot of callers today.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: We're going to keep this thing rolling. I appreciate you
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you calling in. Here's my problem with with that, And
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it sounds like you don't even love that theory. You
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: just like, this is probably the way it's gonna be.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Let's deal with it, which is what cowboy fans have
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: had to to kind of you know that that's a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: mindset they've had to adopt for a while. But what
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I don't love about that is this team was seven
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and ten last year. It's below the mark of where
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: where they they should be. They need to be. They
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: need to be in the playoffs. That's that's, that's the goal.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: That's you know, you've got a quarterback that's that's highest
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: paid in the league. You've got highest paid we're one
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the highest paid receivers. You're you know, you got it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is probably trying to be the highest paid
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: defensive player that that maybe that's gonna happen next year.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You've got playmakers, you've got young talent, you had some
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Pro bowlers. Still, you've got guys on this team, You've
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: got talent. You should be in the in the in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the in the playoffs. So all that being said, why
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: are you keeping everybody from last year's team? You know, like,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: like your offensive your head coach would be as somebody
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that that got promoted. Your defensive coordinator stays the same.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the only coordinator that's going to be
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: different is your special teams coordinator, and he's got you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they had the most success than anybody. So at some point,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: my point, at some point, something something has to change
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to get over the hump for next year. Just bringing
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: back some of the same faces from last year and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: just tweaking a couple of things, it's probably not good enough.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: So I like, I like some change. I'm fine with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: one of the sides of the ball. If you kept Zimmer,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: then I need a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: If I have if I have Shottenneimer here, that I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: need to do defensive coordinator. I need something something different.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And I've said it several times. I still think somebody
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: with some three four experience that that that can, you know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: switch some things up A little bit. I'd like to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see Micah maybe a little bit differently. I mean, what
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: what what he has is working, but but I think
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that you have an opportunity to maybe prolong his career
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: even more. That being said, they need to sign him,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: of course, to a long term deal. All right, let's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: go to Brian in Kansas City.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Good morning, sir, Hey Brian, how are you man?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'm good, good? How are you?
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: No complaints?
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: No complaints?
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: You know, I was thinking yesterday when I was listening
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: to you know, people talk about the interviews and such
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: and the process. You know, what's the when it comes
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: to leadership. What's the special sauce when it when it
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: works in the longer terms? You know, when we see
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan Belichick and Brady Reid
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: and Mahomes like, what is that special sauce between the team,
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: the star player and the coach that when it works
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: and it works for more than just a Super Bowl?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: You know, well, it's like you know, chocolate and ice cream.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got you got something great here, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: you got something great and you mix it together and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: look at look at that you got a Sunday. I mean,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid is great, and so is Patrick Mahomes and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Phil Phil Jackson is great, and so and Michael Jordan.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: It was even greater. You know what I'm saying. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: just think you have those Those are great examples, you said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and there's not a ton of them, but they are
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: great examples of you've got guys that greatness that kind
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of formed together, that that that actually play make each
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: other better because of it, and you know you don't
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you just don't have that in a lot of areas.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think those are three great ones. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: don't know if you could come up with three more,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: just right off the off the top. And you went
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: back for thirty years, forty years of sports, not just football,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you know, so it's rare and when it happens, it's special.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Well, and it's it really is a special relationship because
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: like you said, they don't last. Yeah, just not a
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: lot of those. You know, somebody's ego gets stepped on
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: and you know, next thing, you know, everybody's moving on. Hey.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: So here's my question for you today. My question is
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: because we don't know what schemes were running next year,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: you know all that stuff, you know, all the impacts
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: of what kind of special teams are we running, what
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: kind of offense, what kind of defense? I'm in favor
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: of what you said. I think Micah would be better
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: in a three to four How in your opinion, based
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: on what you've seen in your lifetime and in working
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: with the Cowboys, how long can they drag I don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: want to say drag this out like it's a negative.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: How long can.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: This process last before it starts really negatively impacting how
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: you're building your team for next year? And I'll hang
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: up and listen there, good to talk to you.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Brian, Just just to clarify, you're saying this,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: this coaching search, how long can they can they go
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: with it? Are you? Are you talking about right now? Okay?
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: How long for all of them? Because we don't know
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: what any of the systems are for next year? Yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: so how do you get you know, doesn't that make
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Will's job very difficult?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: You know, so how long in your opinion could it
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: go before? Okay? Now we're creating our own problem because
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: we don't know what we're looking for, you know, in
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: terms of personnel.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I hear you, I mean and and you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and you make some good points there. I don't think
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: we're I don't think they're too late in the party here,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, there's other teams that don't
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: have head coaches as well. There's a lot of changes
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that that that still are gonna are gonna happen. There's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: coaches without a contract around other teams, and and and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: so what I'm saying is is that it's not like
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: all the good coaches are are you know, it's all
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: dried up and they can't get anybody there. They'll they'll
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: be fine, I think, you know, I think they have
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: an idea of who who it's going to be. And
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: it'd be careful how I say this. But Schottenheimer and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore have been here obviously, okay, and they understand
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: how this goes. And and so I think that you're
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: saying that that, well, how long can this go? Because
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you've got to start at the top and then you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you've got to fill all the positions. Well, I think
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: some of the positions are getting filled before the head coach,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and that's we've seen that in the past. And what
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: kind of head coach will be okay with that? Well,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: one that's never been a head coach before, you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: looking for a shot pun intended and would be okay
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: with certain scenario, especially people that they've worked with. So
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I what I'm saying is, I think the Cowboys have
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: their tight ends coach. I think they have their own
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: line coach. I think they're getting close to getting their
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and and so all that being said, you
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you you're going to get a head coach that's going
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to be comfortable with the situation and probably know a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: lot of those people as well. Hope, hope some of
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that made sense. All right, Let's go to Ronnie in
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: New Jersey.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: Chris, I mean, Nick, how you doing? I was I
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: was just talking to Chris and I was telling him,
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: I'm like, man, we got we at least got to
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: get two shows a week, because once a week it
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: just feels like such a long wait to be able
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: to talk to you again at what to listen to
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: the show and listen to the fans.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Did he give you?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Did he?
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: We're gonna have to We're gonna actually say we would
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: have to talk to Derek about that, but hey, can
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: we put in a petition for at least back to
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: twice a week at least I'll sign it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, But Nick, with this coaching search, I was actually
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: hoping that they would have had like a broader span
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: of interviews and candidates for the for the coaching search,
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: because I'll be honest with you, I know that. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: think it was last week or the week before where
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: you mentioned that, uh you know, yes, we're loyal to
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: the Cowboys. Yes, we've been watching them for so long. Listen.
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: I buy Someday ticket every year so I could watch
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: every single game. But at the same time, Nick, I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: telling you right now, I do not want to see
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: Kellen Moore being the head coach because if that's what
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: they're waiting for, that's the day I'm gonna just cancel
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: my ticket. I'm sorry, but are we looking for the
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: number one overall pick next year? I mean, what what
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: are we going to be looking for if they pick
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: Kellen Moore? Because I hope that's not what they're waiting for.
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: There's so many good candidates out there. I mean, you
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: still got Eron Glenn, you still got Cliff Kimsbury. I
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: think his name is from the from the Commanders More.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I take Kellen Moore over Cliff Kingsbury. All Day. Really, Yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah I would, but I mean I don't
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: have a young quarterback.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, look at it. Look at what he's doing
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: with this rookie quarterback. He's making this guy look good.
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't go against Kingsbury because of what was in Arizona,
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: because arisona come on, I got the guy had the
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: quarterback there had a contract where they needed him to
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: study in order for for whatever expectations they were they
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: wanted to meet. So if you got to put something
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: like that in a contract for a quarterback, that's that's
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: telling you something. You know what I'm saying that I
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: wouldn't put that on the coach.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just telling you. I mean, me person, i'd
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: rather have Kellen Moore. But but that's that's okay that
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's got the thrown opinion, just like your
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: opinion is and you say you're done or you're checking out,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: which I don't believe, Ronnie. I don't believe that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on now, like like I understand, I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: More, like, what are we looking for? We're getting Kellen
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: Moore as a head coach, Like we always said that
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: you need this team needs discipline. Kellen Moore. When he
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: was here, Yeah, the office was doing pretty good. What
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: was the defense doing, Nick? That defense, when that offense
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: was looking pretty good, was getting so many turnovers? They
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: were playing outstanding. I mean you were getting the most
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: out of out of you know, players that were good
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: or defensive coordinator was making him look great. So so,
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: you know, one, you got to look at both sides
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: of the coin. It's not just hey, he made that
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: little good. Yeah, when you're getting the ball on the thirty,
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying, Like, when you're getting so
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: many turnovers, he had no choice. But and like you said,
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: Rex Ryan, why aren't we looking like a guy like
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: Rex Ryan? And I would trade a first round pick
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: for McVeigh right now today. I will give up that
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: twelve overall pick and next year's second round pick, wouldn't you.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: Thanks for listening to my call, Nick, All right.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks, I'd flip it. If I would flip it, i'd
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: go this year second next year is one. But I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: would do that too. Look at that guy's draft history.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, look who are their star players over there?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: You know, you look at the Rams and you look
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: at Kyrin Williams and fifth round running back. Look at
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Pukaku who I think it's a fifth round or maybe
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a fourth Cooper Cooper Cup, third or fourth round. Matthew
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Stafford was you know, revived his career, so not revived,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it actually made him better. I mean, he didn't revive
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: his career, took him to another level later on in
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: his career. Usually when it when it goes the other way.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I would do that too, but I don't.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think that's happening. But yeah I would.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I would look into the situations like that, and so
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and who knows, who knows if if the Cowboys are
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: done yet? You know, I mean there's there's there's part
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of this is it's some it's a gaming situation here,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean there's some gamesmanship.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see if if that's just what it
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: looks like right now. These are two candidates and and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I get it. I totally understand not being excited about it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: And it's hard to sell like that. Those are those
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: are tough to sell to fans. But you know they'll
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: do it and they'll you know, you'll buy it and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: we'll all buy it, and we'll be here and figure
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: out and see see what happens and find a way
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to get excited about whatever it is. But yeah, I
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: think right now, I totally understand the frustration because it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: with those two candidates. It's hard to look at and go, well,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you know what what's so great about? Now? You say,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: when Kellen was here, look at that defense? I mean
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the eighty five Bears being on defense.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I I remember some some turnovers and you know, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was playing there in twenty one, and yeah,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I mean they were, you know, they were good, but
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: but I don't I remember it kind of being as
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it was a good It was a good offense, good,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it was a good combination. Those are good football teams
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. Let's take a break

• 27:55
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline. We've got almost
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: an hour. We can still talk about the Cowboys coaching search,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: what happens after that? Not a lot to talk about players.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: And the thing is is you don't you just don't know.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You don't know where they're going to be, what what's there,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: what's the setup going to be, where they're going to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: be asked to do? So you know, it's this is
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a game of dominoes. And the first one, well I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: say it's the first one. I did mention before the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: break that you know some of these positions are already
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: sort of in place, and from from my understanding, the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are trying to do that at special teams. They
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: were trying to do that with John Fossil. It just
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: got to a situation where they were trying to wait
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and see what we got here. All right, thanks Chris.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: We're trying to wait and see obviously we get something
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: down for the for the head coaching position, and and
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Fossil decided, Hey, you know, I've got to I've got
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to go here and Tennessee and and they've got a
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: coach and they they've got a plan, and I can't
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: wait because the thing is is that, yeah, you you
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: can wait and say I'm on staff, but then the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: new coach comes in, may have may have something completely different,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and so that would that would kind of leave him out.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: So I think he decided he had to he had
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to make a decision here. So that's what he did.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: And and you know, I don't necessarily blame him for
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that timing uh is and he can do that because
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: he has had He's the most six most accomplished probably
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: coach on the staff. The other guy Zimmer as well.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: But but I think I think Fossil is probably a
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: lot more coveted than some of the other coaches, and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: so he decided to do that. But some of the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: other assistants are kind of in limbo right now, kind
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of waiting. All right, let's go to Jeremy and d
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: C on the on the line. Hey, yo, Nick brother,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: how are you doing.
• 29:52
  Speaker 16: I'm doing good, man?
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'm good? What's up?
• 29:55
  Speaker 17: I'm all right, man. You didn't hurt nobody.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Today, not today, not today. We'll see how they all right.
• 30:01
  Speaker 16: So I got two names for you man for coaching.
• 30:04
  Speaker 16: I think my man Robin Vegas going like this. I
• 30:06
  Speaker 16: want to trail him a little bit. So I got
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: Rex Ryan and met Patrick. No, but but I I
• 30:17
  Speaker 16: was I was going with Pete Curle because I feel
• 30:21
  Speaker 16: like everybody was comparing Dak to Russell Wilson when he
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: first came out, and I feel like Pete Curle and
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: now that I heard more about Shotty, I think he
• 30:31
  Speaker 16: should be uh in consideration as well, because they are
• 30:35
  Speaker 16: the only two that knew how to use Russell Wilson
• 30:37
  Speaker 16: and with him to a championship.
• 30:39
  Speaker 18: You know what I'm saying?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are you saying? Schottenheimer as the offensive coordinator play
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: caller or as the head coach or both.
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: I would like to see him at least try to
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: call them plays because Mike didn't even let him call plays,
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: So yeah, you know, you know, so I mean it's
• 30:57
  Speaker 16: worth a try, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And
• 30:59
  Speaker 16: then you could just uh and you could just have
• 31:03
  Speaker 16: like the reason why I'm going with Pete Curle because
• 31:06
  Speaker 16: he the one that put Chris Rashard and Dan Quinn
• 31:08
  Speaker 16: and all those guys together, and that's basically with our
• 31:11
  Speaker 16: defense runs like those guys put together.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: You know, and he puts good staffs together. There's no
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. He's done. He has a history of that.
• 31:21
  Speaker 19: Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 16: And I don't have a problem with Chucky either because
• 31:25
  Speaker 16: he can put he can do a good like offense,
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: but you probably would have to help him with that
• 31:30
  Speaker 16: defensive staff. And I don't mind Mike Zimmer coming back
• 31:34
  Speaker 16: because it looks like he the only one that's uh,
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: Jayleen Daniels stoppers, So so they might want to think
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: about bringing him back. And if they do bring him back,
• 31:47
  Speaker 16: what do you think about having that offensive coordinator that
• 31:50
  Speaker 16: left that that was in New Orleans as our offensive coordinator?
• 31:54
  Speaker 16: If if they just have Dan Quinn as the head
• 31:56
  Speaker 16: coach because he was running some some cool plays that
• 31:59
  Speaker 16: uh that everybody was saying that they liked when New
• 32:02
  Speaker 16: Orleans beat the brakes.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Off of us.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then but but you know, coordinators get figured
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: out too. You know that that's what makes you a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: great coordinator is that you can always be a step ahead,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: a step ahead. I don't know if I mean, yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: New Orleans looked great in week one and week two
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it didn't. It didn't continue for them, So I don't
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if that's great, but
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I like, I like a lot of your points that
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: that you're making.
• 32:26
  Speaker 16: And uh, I had Ben Johnson Howe on my list
• 32:29
  Speaker 16: man into that third in one place. So yeah, well
• 32:34
  Speaker 16: but that's all I got for.
• 32:35
  Speaker 13: You, man.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Thanks. You know, it's funny we were we were
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: having that discussion at lunch yesterday about about Jayden Daniels
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: playing against the Cowboys and he really didn't have a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: lot of success. I mean, didn't win, didn't win the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: first game, second game, he was pulled at halftime and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you know they weren't winning and he had led him
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to a field goal, so he didn't have a lot
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of success against the Cowboys. Now dan Quinn run goes
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: for two after that miracle touchdown with what thirty seconds
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to go, and goes for two to try to get
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the win. I think, I don't think the Cowboys stop them.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I think they probably win the game. But they kicked
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the extra point, they missed it, and then you know,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: we all know how that ended. But yeah, a lot
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of a lot of stuff there. Let me let me
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: throw out one point though, that you said about Schottenheimer
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: calling plays, and there's a belief inside the building and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I've heard this from two different people that that some
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: of the marinkles, some of the different things that that
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: they were trying to do. Schottenheimer has been kind of
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: pushing for that for a while and it was met,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you know, probably not favorably by McCarthy. At least that's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the narrative. And it's easy to say that now you
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: know that that stuff happens a lot, the turpin running
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the ball stuff with some things that Schottenheimer was trying
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to kind of get in there, and some of the
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: new wave offensive things that that we started to sort
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of see those were kind of pushed by him. And
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: so that's why. I think if he's got support by
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the players, especially the offensive players, it's because they kind
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of know that he's got some you know, he's got
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: an offensive mind and and and you know, and it's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: done some things like that, and it was trying to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: do that stuff here. Again, I'm not real big on
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: on talking bad about guys that not in the building anymore,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I just because that's easy to do. You
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: hear it all the time now, you know. Now, to
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: be fair, I heard some of it while he was here,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: so it's not it's not just you know, a guy's gone.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: But but I think that's sort of that. That's the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: narrative we're gonna hear a lot of if if it
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: is Schottenheimer, it's that you know, basically, you know, it
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: was handcuffed and couldn't do what he wanted to do.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Sebastian and Savannah Georgia.
• 34:53
  Speaker 20: Hey there, how are we doing? Miss even?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? Glad you made it? You got in.
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: Man, for real. It's like the DNV on a frame.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: It's hard to get to the line, but.
• 35:02
  Speaker 20: Uh, glad to get to talk to you guys. I'm
• 35:04
  Speaker 20: gonna keep it fast and so other people can get
• 35:06
  Speaker 20: in here too. When I hear Schottenheimer, it did make
• 35:09
  Speaker 20: me turn my head and go hunh, because I really
• 35:11
  Speaker 20: don't think or personally, I don't feel anybody who had
• 35:14
  Speaker 20: anything to do with that offense last year is who
• 35:16
  Speaker 20: I want as a head coach, who I'm really pulling
• 35:19
  Speaker 20: for because of his performance and how everyone performs under him.
• 35:23
  Speaker 20: Al Harris, I would love to see him get a shot.
• 35:25
  Speaker 20: If we're going to stay in building, if we're going
• 35:27
  Speaker 20: to go out of the building, we're actually gonna like
• 35:29
  Speaker 20: go up a head coach and close out the Mike
• 35:30
  Speaker 20: McCarthy era, do a real coach search, find a real
• 35:36
  Speaker 20: people mover at head coach. Hell, when I heard Shottenheimer,
• 35:39
  Speaker 20: I was like, I would rather Will.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Mcravey the head coach.
• 35:42
  Speaker 20: But I don't know enough about Schottenheimer. Like I said,
• 35:44
  Speaker 20: I don't just like him as a person. I've heard
• 35:45
  Speaker 20: him like one or two times on interviews and that's
• 35:47
  Speaker 20: about it. But I would love for Al Harris to
• 35:49
  Speaker 20: get a shot. And when you see people like Dan
• 35:52
  Speaker 20: Quinn go and I called earlier in the year last year,
• 35:55
  Speaker 20: and I told you that Dan was going to turn
• 35:56
  Speaker 20: that team around. Now they're in the thing, They're in
• 35:59
  Speaker 20: the play off, and we're sitting here like, this is
• 36:02
  Speaker 20: the guy that you let go a year before. You
• 36:04
  Speaker 20: were gonna let Mike go anyway, and we scape going
• 36:07
  Speaker 20: to him because we lost lost that playoff game, but
• 36:09
  Speaker 20: he took our team from a historically bad defense to
• 36:12
  Speaker 20: a historically good defense, and we let him go, kept Mike,
• 36:16
  Speaker 20: and then let Mike go the next year anyway, So
• 36:18
  Speaker 20: I want to see as good a real situation started.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah you say, you say that, but but there's no
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: way you could have done it the other way. There's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: no way you could have fired Mike and hired him
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: that after the Packer game. I mean, I was almost
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: surprised that he got a job after that.
• 36:33
  Speaker 20: Game, which I don't disagree at all, But if you remember,
• 36:37
  Speaker 20: in both of the San Francisco games, it was always
• 36:39
  Speaker 20: the offense underperforming, and that that was the year that
• 36:42
  Speaker 20: they were like, okay, fine, this time is Dan's fault.
• 36:45
  Speaker 20: But like I said, the reason I was happy for
• 36:46
  Speaker 20: Dan to get a job, like you said, was because
• 36:49
  Speaker 20: of that opportunity. I was like, that was one time
• 36:50
  Speaker 20: where he did fail us, but he never failed us
• 36:53
  Speaker 20: prior to that Mike throwed us on seve occasions. I
• 36:56
  Speaker 20: think it's Jesse Hollywood says it all the time that
• 36:58
  Speaker 20: a good head coach is where two or three games
• 37:00
  Speaker 20: a season. I want us to get a coach who's
• 37:03
  Speaker 20: gonna help us win games instead of working against us.
• 37:06
  Speaker 20: But listen, I'm gonna hang up and listen. You guys
• 37:08
  Speaker 20: have a great day. And uh well, there's one one
• 37:10
  Speaker 20: last thing. The worst part about not making the playoffs
• 37:13
  Speaker 20: is we only get one storyline a week and it's
• 37:16
  Speaker 20: killing me.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: You guys have a great day, all right, appreciate it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I think Jeremy's starting a petition Jeremy and DC. Sebastian
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: sounds like he would sign it. Uh you know, you say,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: you say, there may be something to the fact of
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: when these coaches are interviewing before, you know, before the game.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm sure it's happened for a long
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: time and and and maybe it's just you know, we're
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: just seeing it recently. Dan Quinn, I mean, dan Quinn's
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: defense looked like, you know, he was run by a
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: coordinator that was that was that was interviewing for other jobs.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You know that when when they played the Packer game,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs. I mean that's what looked like.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: And then you know you can you could say the same,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I guess for Aaron Glynn. You know Aaron Aaron Glenn was.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: You know, it's been interviewed for a lot of jobs
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: as well. I that would be that would be a
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: guy that I would bring in. That would be my guy.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: If I if I could take any of these candidates
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: that have been talked about, it would be Aaron Glynn.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: You want to bring a former a former player in
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: or a familiar face, which is what we're doing so
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: many times around here. Bring him in. He was here
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: for two years. Parcels guy, old school guy, relates to
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the players, tough, gritty. You can't be an undersized cornerback
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: and play ten years in the NFL if you don't
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: have some fight. I mean you have to. And I
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: mean I always I said it before. I mean it's
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: like it's like that's Jordan Lewis before Jordan Lewis, and
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: he was better than Jordan Lewis. I mean he was.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: It was a he was an outside corner that that
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: that played on an island and and you know was
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: told he was too small and and and for years,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: and he was. He was great, and I think he
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: coaches the same way. Maybe he's he's with the Jets
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: now or he's gonna be in the Jets the same
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, hasn't even heard I haven't even heard about
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: an interview here. I don't know if that's if that's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: going to be the case, but that would be on
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: my guy. But let's keep it, let's keep it going on.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike. Mike in Birmingham, England.
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: Hello, Nick's nice to speak to you again.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: How are you doing.
• 39:18
  Speaker 15: I'm all right, thank you. It's been a little while
• 39:21
  Speaker 15: because this new off season time isn't good for me.
• 39:26
  Speaker 15: But that's okay. You can't please all the people all
• 39:28
  Speaker 15: the time. But I'm very much on board with the
• 39:31
  Speaker 15: let's bombard Derek with requests for a second time slot
• 39:36
  Speaker 15: during the week. So a couple of weeks ago when
• 39:40
  Speaker 15: the season ended, you had quite a lot of calls,
• 39:43
  Speaker 15: and before I get into the head coach stuff, you
• 39:45
  Speaker 15: had quite a lot of calls and quite a lot
• 39:46
  Speaker 15: of platitudes from people, and I just wanted to just
• 39:49
  Speaker 15: very briefly let you know what it has meant to
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: me having storyline over the last year and more because
• 39:58
  Speaker 15: around here you turn every corner and someone's talking about soccer,
• 40:02
  Speaker 15: but there's not a lot of people talking about football
• 40:06
  Speaker 15: and the Cowboys. And so to be able to have
• 40:10
  Speaker 15: this even if I'm not calling in, to be able
• 40:12
  Speaker 15: to have this and listen to some really, really knowledgeable people,
• 40:16
  Speaker 15: passionate people talking about the Cowboys, and to listen to
• 40:19
  Speaker 15: you and the knowledge that you bring to it. And
• 40:24
  Speaker 15: when I have called in, there are two calls that
• 40:27
  Speaker 15: I've made this year that come to my mind, which
• 40:30
  Speaker 15: is after the Cleveland game when I was high as
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: a kite, we'd signed that we'd signed CD, we were
• 40:36
  Speaker 15: heading to the super Bowl. And then after the Lions game,
• 40:41
  Speaker 15: when quite different and I went on a proper rant
• 40:44
  Speaker 15: and whether or not you agreed with every word I
• 40:48
  Speaker 15: was saying, you kind of validated the view. And you're
• 40:53
  Speaker 15: very calm and very level and very measured for the host.
• 40:57
  Speaker 15: You know, really you never make anyone feel silly about
• 41:00
  Speaker 15: their view, and you listen and you give you a response.
• 41:04
  Speaker 15: So a big thank you and long may it continue.
• 41:08
  Speaker 15: And I'm enjoying the success of the show.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you for saying that. I appreciate that.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Everyone's opinion is undefeated,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: so you know, we share different daypoints. But if it's
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: your opinion, then you're right. You are right. Uh doesn't
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: mean that I agree or you agree, or anyone agrees,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: but you know, or maybe some people are misguided misinformed.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that happens. But but now, if that's what you
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: see it, that's how you see it, then you're certainly
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: right about it. I try to. I've learned that a
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: long time ago from from people in the building that
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: that would would would kind of tell me differently, like no,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: you're wrong, and I'm like, no, you know, it always
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: bothers me when people say that about someone's opinion. So
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I really try to share that approach with you guys
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: So yeah, all right, well well thank you, and so
• 41:56
  Speaker 15: let's get into some more opinions. Unfortunately, I haven't been
• 41:59
  Speaker 15: listening to much of the show. I've been trying to
• 42:00
  Speaker 15: get in because.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: Those always you're very, very popular.
• 42:03
  Speaker 15: But what is going on. It sounds like we made
• 42:09
  Speaker 15: no approach for Johnson or Glenn and those who are
• 42:12
  Speaker 15: pretty much tied up now, or we did approach and
• 42:15
  Speaker 15: they weren't interested in talking to us. We're the richest
• 42:20
  Speaker 15: sports team in the world by a distance, and we're
• 42:24
  Speaker 15: shopping in the pound shop the dollar store. Sorry, we're
• 42:27
  Speaker 15: shopping in the dollar store for our head coach and
• 42:30
  Speaker 15: Brian Schottenheimer. Maybe brilliant, I don't know, But I don't
• 42:35
  Speaker 15: want to spend money for the sake of spending money.
• 42:37
  Speaker 15: But let's at least have a conversation with some of the.
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: Top guys.
• 42:43
  Speaker 15: You know, I've never been overly pro or anti Jerry.
• 42:47
  Speaker 15: I don't join in with a lot of the anti
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: Jerry rants. But the statistic it's doing the rounds about
• 42:55
  Speaker 15: how long it's been since teams were in the NSC Championship.
• 42:57
  Speaker 15: And I'm sure you know double for us than it
• 43:01
  Speaker 15: is for I think the Bears the next fifteen years.
• 43:04
  Speaker 15: And I know that you know, a fumble here or
• 43:07
  Speaker 15: an interception there might have changed that along the way.
• 43:09
  Speaker 15: But that is a damning statistic. And you know, you
• 43:15
  Speaker 15: do what you've always done, you get what you've always got,
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: And here we are again in the bargain basement, and
• 43:21
  Speaker 15: it's just very, very hard to get excited. And I
• 43:26
  Speaker 15: don't know if you've got any kind of words of
• 43:30
  Speaker 15: encouragement that might make us feel a little bit better
• 43:34
  Speaker 15: about it.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Mike, thank you for the call, Thank
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you for the support, Thank you. You know, I said
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: it before, and I didn't mean this as a as
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: a shot to those guys, especially Shottenheimer, But I just think,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to reiterate what what their strengths are
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: if he's the next head coach of the Cowboys, it's
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: going to be for things that you didn't necessarily you
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: haven't seen. You just haven't seen it. The people here
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: in the building, Uh, he's he's obviously impressed, you know,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the people, enough of the people in the way he
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: goes about his business, the way he's handled a unique
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: situation to be the offensive coordinator but not really but
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: not call the plays and all that. And I think
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: that that people understand, you know, what he's done, the
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: success that he's had, or at least the places that
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that that he's been, and you know, he gets jobs.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: He's that he's definitely done that, and I think he
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: can that that that personality of whatever happens in those
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: interviews is going to carry over to to the team
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: as well. So again I'm not saying he will be
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: the next coach. But if he is, it's gonna be
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: for some things that you haven't necessarily seen, and you
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: know that it's it's gonna have to be you know, well,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: he'll have to prove it. And that's that's the way
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: it is for everybody, every coach. I mean, think about it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: When Dan Campbell took the took the job with with
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the Detroit he made all kinds of headlines because of
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the way he went up there and approached that and
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: attacked that press conference and we're gonna bite people's kneecaps
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. But if they didn't win,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: we would just it would just be a YouTube video
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: that we would you know, everyone would laugh at now.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: But it worked. It worked. But he had he wasn't
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: proven either, you know what I mean. But he went
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: in there and just like Ben Johnson with you know,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: with with with the Bears and and and all that,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: all this stuff sounds good, but you gotta go win.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. So so if he's not gonna have
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: some coaches are gonna be some fan bases in Chicago's
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: fan base is probably just through the roof right now
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: because they've got Ben Johnson and the Cowboys fan base
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: is probably not going to be excited about who they
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: have as their head coach. But all of that changes
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: if you go out there and then you start winning,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: and we all know that, everyone knows that. That's that's
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: the that's the biggest you know, that's the most obvious
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: comment of all time. So all right, let's go to
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Anthony and Miami.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Mister Nickie, man, how you doing?
• 46:04
  Speaker 19: Man?
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: What's up? Man?
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: Anthony's out there coming up on pomp Aid out there.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: I'm holding it down till it gets back, you know, nick,
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: Wasn't it great to see Jerry? Wasn't it great to
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: see Jerry and dramatic role on the best damn show
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: on TV? Laying man? Wasn't it just great? There?
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? What's up? What do you got? Man?
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: Oh? Give me that, give me the phone there truth
• 46:32
  Speaker 11: than everybody. How you doing?
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: Good?
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: Day? Hey?
• 46:39
  Speaker 11: I got something real easy and real quick.
• 46:42
  Speaker 19: Man.
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: It's just a draft wish list. I want to get
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: mine out the way out, man. I need these four positions.
• 46:47
  Speaker 19: Man.
• 46:47
  Speaker 11: I thought long a hard on this one. We all
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: kind of know running back these tackle guard because you
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: don't know what that's gonna do and you don't know
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: if we're gonna sign Brock, but the keep one of
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: the keepers this was we need not just a receiver,
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: because you got four of them, mean go on them
• 47:03
  Speaker 11: and all beside CD. So you got receivers. We're missing
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: a slot receiver because if you notice, our tight ends
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: haven't been able to do that possessing thing across the
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: middle and be the quarterback's best friend like they should
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: have one, like they did a year ago. So we
• 47:17
  Speaker 11: get that slot receiver, key slot receiver, get an impactful DT,
• 47:21
  Speaker 11: impactful running back, and the guard. We're gonna be all right.
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: I didn't want to play around with a little bit
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: a lot going today and then haul that to today.
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it, all right. Man, Hey, I agree with
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: you on the slot receiver. I mean, a speedy guy.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Turfing really isn't a slot guy.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not really his his role. I mean,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: he's he's that type of body type. But I do
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: think that they need need a little bit more of
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: a playmaker at receiver. Now I've seen mock drafts. I
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: think it was old uh name Brugler had had Luther
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Burden as the as the receiver from Missouri as a
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: draft going to the Cowboys at twelve. Uh, I can't
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: say I'd be okay with that. I'm I'm I think
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I think you know, you do need another playmaker. But
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: but I if you can't get it blocked up front,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter, you know. Like like I I think,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I think you gotta get I'm fine with an offensive line,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: any guard or tackle. I'd be fine with the defensive tackle,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: even an edge rusher. Fine with that. More edge rushers
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: you can get the better. And if it's the running back,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: then you know I then then I definitely got to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: make sure to address guard and tackle at other ways
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: as well. But all right, let's keep it going. Let's
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: got Rob in Vegas.
• 48:52
  Speaker 13: Hey Rob, how are you doing?
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Oh? Well, you know, I'm fine. I'm fine. How are
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 49:01
  Speaker 13: I'm good. I mean it's just laughable. I mean, Schottenheimer
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: and Kellen Moore are the same guy, except one can
• 49:09
  Speaker 13: grow facial hair and the other one can't. That's neither
• 49:13
  Speaker 13: has any business being the head coach of any team,
• 49:18
  Speaker 13: let alone the Dallas Cowboys. And I've said it before.
• 49:23
  Speaker 13: Believe Jerry when he talks he's eighty two years old.
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: So when he tells you I bought this FEN team
• 49:32
  Speaker 13: and I could do whatever I want, believe him. He
• 49:36
  Speaker 13: doesn't care about winning like people say he does. It
• 49:40
  Speaker 13: be a bonus. But being comfortable and being relevant, I'm
• 49:45
  Speaker 13: more important and it shows.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: So who do you want to be the head coach?
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Who do you want to be? I mean, I'm sorry, Rob,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: We've heard that rant and we've heard that rant before.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: So who do you want here? On Wednesday, January twenty second?
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Who do you want to be?
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: Bill?
• 49:58
  Speaker 13: Don't get the best coach? Bill Belichick? He's available. Jerry
• 50:03
  Speaker 13: raves about him. Jerry says, he's like a see he's
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: the greatest coach. Well, you have the ability to go
• 50:09
  Speaker 13: get him. You not making the move to get him
• 50:12
  Speaker 13: is telling.
• 50:13
  Speaker 11: Us you don't want to win.
• 50:15
  Speaker 13: You wanted some puppet. Aaron Glenn. We just talked about it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 13: He's probably the best guy available right now. You didn't
• 50:22
  Speaker 13: even call him. Yeah you had, Mike Rabel was out there.
• 50:26
  Speaker 13: You didn't call him. It's let you you're passed by.
• 50:30
  Speaker 13: You're the you're the third best team in the division. Now, Uh,
• 50:35
  Speaker 13: you're falling further and further behind. Your quarterback is falling
• 50:41
  Speaker 13: further further behind because of the injuries. I mean, I
• 50:45
  Speaker 13: I just don't get it.
• 50:46
  Speaker 20: You have the.
• 50:47
  Speaker 13: Ability to get these guys, and you're going to try
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: to sell Shottenheimer or a Kellen Moore to the fanbase.
• 50:57
  Speaker 13: And you know, Nick, you keep saying fans are going
• 51:01
  Speaker 13: to be there. I'm not gonna be there. I got
• 51:03
  Speaker 13: other stuff to do. You know, well I watched the games, sure,
• 51:07
  Speaker 13: once in a while, but I turned off more games
• 51:10
  Speaker 13: this year than ever. And that's how fans need to
• 51:14
  Speaker 13: do it. I mean, all right, just don't get just
• 51:17
  Speaker 13: don't buy the product it just because it's the part.
• 51:20
  Speaker 21: No.
• 51:21
  Speaker 13: We deserve better, and the ability to do better is
• 51:25
  Speaker 13: staring us in the face. And he's telling us I
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: don't care, I want to I'm gonna do what I
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: want to do.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, Rob, thanks for the call, And
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I get the frustration. I mean, I I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: understand it. You know, there's it's clear you know what
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: type of coach that that that certain fans want that
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: you know obviously that Rob would want, you know, and
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: and Mike Rabel, you know, like now that you mentioned
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: his name, I mean that that seemed like that was
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: done pretty quick quickly there in New England. I don't
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: even think McCarthy was was out of contract when when
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: all when all that happened, and and and I'll be honest,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: I mean that one kind of surprised me of why
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: he was getting so much love and attention. I mean,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he went to the playoffs once
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: with with with Tennessee, but then they got fired, you know, so,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: but who knows, maybe they'll be better there. And I
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: know there's some other names. I mean Aaron Glenn that
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: that that sounds great too. I mean Aaron Aaron Glenn,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: you know, he seems like he's I said, I think
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: that would be a good hire. I'm not sure why
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys haven't gone that that way what they're trying
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: to do. And and I don't believe any fan that
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: calls this show is is gonna is gonna be done,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: you know, done with it. You can be frustrated for
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but but we we are Cowboy fans.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't you know, we don't choose to be. And
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I've said that many times. It chooses us. And it's
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: so I don't I don't necessarily believe that anybody is
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: gonna say I'm done or I'm turning it off. He
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: turned it off because it was you know, you're down
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: thirty points or twenty points or whatever. But turned it
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: back on. And that's that's what we do. That's what
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: we do. Again. I'm not saying I'm not sitting here
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: and trying to advocate for some of these coaches. I don't.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that's the right way. I don't
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: know how you could be excited about it. But but
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: what you get excited about is the season, a new season,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: a new start. And you know, I'll tell you this,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: the expectations would be very low, so it wouldn't be
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be hard for some of these coaches that
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: they're talking about to to have some success based off
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: of expectations, because you know, they can't start much lower
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: than what it seems like it's going to be. If
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: that is the case again, and we've talked about it before,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: let's let's let's let fans do what they're going to do.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Uh if if somebody says, hey, I'm done, whatever, but
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: telling other fans what to do and how to fan
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff, we don't do that around here.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: We know that. So all right, let's go to Ali
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: in Florida.
• 54:13
  Speaker 19: Good morning, sir, How are you pretty good?
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: Buddy?
• 54:15
  Speaker 19: If we miss you, thank you. Please tell Derek because
• 54:21
  Speaker 19: Texas lost, don't take his activation on a storyliner to
• 54:25
  Speaker 19: give us once a week. Just give us a luttle love.
• 54:29
  Speaker 19: Having said that, uh, you know the code that said
• 54:34
  Speaker 19: show me the money in the movie, right, And I
• 54:38
  Speaker 19: think you are so right. The money has a lot
• 54:43
  Speaker 19: to do with it because right now, I believe the
• 54:46
  Speaker 19: head coach of Minnesota got I think twenty million dollars
• 54:50
  Speaker 19: a year. I don't know, but that's what I heard.
• 54:53
  Speaker 19: So just so all these big coaches that have big salaries.
• 54:57
  Speaker 19: But having said that, I'm the because right now we
• 55:00
  Speaker 19: lost a coach. The fans expectation is a bit a
• 55:05
  Speaker 19: little bit lower because it's a new coach. Then they're
• 55:10
  Speaker 19: going to give him some time. I think, if you
• 55:13
  Speaker 19: want to choose between Kellen and Shady, I will go.
• 55:20
  Speaker 19: I know you don't agree with it. I'll go take
• 55:22
  Speaker 19: Jason Whitten, and I would hire Romo as the offensive coordinator.
• 55:29
  Speaker 19: Romo's towards the end of his life. In his career,
• 55:33
  Speaker 19: he is so knowledgeable. I would rather take a shot
• 55:37
  Speaker 19: with them and lose than try kellen and shouty.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: That's all I have.
• 55:42
  Speaker 19: I love you, brother Michu, and please tell Derrick to
• 55:46
  Speaker 19: give us a little love, to give us to shoot
• 55:49
  Speaker 19: to show per.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Week, fight appreciate it. One thing about Romo, I think
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: he makes more than all of the offensive coaches and
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: probably most of the staff can bind uh and Monday
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: through Friday, maybe Monday through Thursday, he's he's at home
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: and then you know, studying maybe, but but and then
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: goes and does the does the games on the weekend.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't see a lot of guys that
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: go from TV back to coaching. It's it's it's a
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: good it's a good you know, good gig and and
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: you make a lot of money and and you still,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you get through out your opinion and and
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: you spend a lot more time with your family. So
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: and I don't see Romo being the assistant witting or anybody. Uh,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I just don't see that happening. It's good, it's fun
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: to talk about, but I don't think that's that's that's
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: going to be the case. There. You made another point though,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: about the coaching and the salaries. And this is probably
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: what I think Rob was talking about. And I've started
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: art some others as well, like nobody wants to hear
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: the the well, that's just the way Jerry is about
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: about the coaches. He just doesn't pay the coach. Nobody
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: wants to hear that. There's no salary cap there. You
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: have a helicopter, you have a yacht, you you you,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: I mean like you can do all this stuff. Other
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: teams are doing it with a lot less money. That's
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: just what they choose to do. So no fan, I'll
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: tell there's no fan wants to hear that that's how
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: it is in Dallas because you know, they just don't
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: have the money for it, or they just don't choose.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: That's not something that fan will want want to hear.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: They understand the salary cap and that one is tough
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: to understand. So and I I agree with that. I
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: mean that that you would you would think that you know,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: he could go go and do that and pay, you know,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: for to pay top dollar for for a coach. And
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I and I would think if there was one that
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: he thought, you know, would really come in and make
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: a difference, he would do that. Belichick would have would
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: have been the one. Again. I don't know. That's that
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: situation in North Carolina right now. I think you could
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: go get him. Another's a there's a buy out. Maybe
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: he hasn't signed it. I'm not sure that whole deal.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I kind of closed that that chapter when he went
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: up to North Carolina. But anyways, you know, I just
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I understand the fans frustration there. You understand the cap
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: for the players, but for a coach, if there was
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: one out there, I mean, why not try to pay
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: top dollar? So that one, I'm sure is always a
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: head scratcher for fans. All right, let's go to one
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: more break. Actually, let's take let's take a break here

  Speaker 2: for that matter, and there's no eye in how about them?
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Cowboys smear enough knows there's no eye in football. Football
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: is a wee thing and experience that it is best
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: enjoyed together with good drinks and good folks home or away.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: We rally together, we cry together, and we always rally
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: cry together because there's definitely no eye in Cowboys.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Fans smear enough.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: We do game days. Please drink responsibly.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: It's the Cowboys storyline. The biggest names in tennis head
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: to the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco this February.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: You can catch all the hard hitting action and witness
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: the top players on tour compete. Live tickets are available
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: now at seat geet dot com. That's some tennis action
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: going on at the Ford Center. All right, let's keep
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: this thing going here. Let's go back to the phone
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: lives at Lester and minnesot Next Buster.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 17: Come on and nixt I couldn't get in last week,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 17: and I tried, but I know we're talking about the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 17: head coaches. My thing is is, I know you've said
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 17: it in a couple of other people said let's go
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 17: get the best available out there because there's no salary
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 17: cap on the head coaching. So we don't really want
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 17: to hear that about he don't pay this or whatever. Uh,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 17: these are the coaches. I mean, I don't even like
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 17: some of these coaches, but I think we need a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 17: leader of men, not not someone that just is new. Well,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 17: you can get someone a chance that they're new, Okay,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 17: that's fine, but I'd rather have a leader of men.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 17: That's all I'm saying. So here's here's my little list.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 17: I don't I don't really care for this. This his
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 17: coaching style, but he's the best to me. Belichick, it's
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 17: not Belichick, Rex Ryan, it's not Rex Ryan. Chucky. I
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 17: don't really care for Chucky either, but that's okay.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 19: Pete Carroll.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 17: And then if I want to give it, in my opinion,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 17: if I want to give what's left of the list,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 17: if I want to give a new coach a chance,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 17: I would go with Glenn. Now, also, what happened to Dion?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 17: I mean, I heard Dion name a few times, and
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 17: then he would have really been at the top of
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 17: my list. But I guess he's not available anymore. I'm
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 17: not sure, but that's that's my list. And also, as
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 17: I always say, until we get a good, very good
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 17: offense and defensive line, this is what we got, you know,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 17: Cowboy fans, no matter who the head coaches, we need
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 17: both of those things at the same time.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, Lester, appreciate that. I'll answer that.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously your your mindset, big big name, big name,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: loud voice, and uh and with some experience behind it.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: That's I don't think that's what the Cowboys are looking
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: at at least. Yeah, there was a phone call to Dion.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: I think it was just that. I don't think that.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was not an official interview and it
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: was not done for the Rooney Rule or anything like that.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: It was, you know, two guys that that are very
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: similar in what their agenda was. And I think with
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: that that phone call and uh, you know, two business
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: people probably trying to help each other out at the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: same time. That's really what what what I think that
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: that was. I don't I don't think there was a
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: lot of interest there Dion being the head coach of
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: the team. And I don't think Dion really wants to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: be in the NFL right now, uh unless he's coaching
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: his son, uh and so, and definitely not trying to
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: go up against him twice a year. So I don't
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: see that being a situation that was that was ever
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: really gonna gonna happen here. Let's go to Zach in Germany.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 18: Hey, Nick, how are you good?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: How are you good? To hear from you?
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 18: Good brother. Sorry, it's been a little while. Got a
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 18: couple of questions for you today, So start with the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 18: first one. Which one do you think hurts worse for
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 18: the Cowboys watching dan Quinn take a ricky quarterback to
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 18: the Nafty Championship game or the Giants watching Saquon leave
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 18: Philly to the championship game?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: The Giants the Giants because they let him go. They
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: they let him go. They couldn't make it work. And
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the Cowboys weren't in the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: same position to keep Dan. They could have. They could
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: have fired their head coach and promoted dan Quinn. That
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: would have been bad optics, I think, And so I
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: mean probably. You know, it's both, you know it hurts both.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, what about the Cowboys just watching Philly go
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl? I mean even even at that,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's not gonna be a good scenario coming
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: out of it on Sunday. I mean like this, you know,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: somebody's I went to the Super Bowl. That that that
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: you've grown up hating. So that's that's the reality, you know, Phi,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Philly versus Washington in the Super Bowl. I mean, and
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: and for a chance to go to the Super Bowl
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: as about as as bad as he gets for a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Cowboy fan.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 18: One hundred percent, I agree.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 23: And the only thing that I guess you could add
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 23: with the Dan Quinn piece is he's doing it with
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 23: a rookie quarterback, which is even more impressive. So but yeah,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 23: I think Dan hung around. I think I think personally,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 23: I think Dan wanted to get the opportunity to head
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 23: coach the Cowboys. I know they were paying him that
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 23: type of money and he had other opportunities two.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 18: Years ago and last year, and he decided to stay.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 18: But you know, I wish him the best.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 18: Second question for our head coaching search, would you prefer
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 18: an offensive minded coach? Or defensive minded coach. And with
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 18: that one, why and two, if they could get you
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 18: to being a top five either offense or top five defense,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 18: which one would you prefer?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, appreciate that, man, I would thank you, thanks, chuckle.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: I would take a top five offense. I take a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: top five offense because I think having a great offense
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: can help your defense a little bit more than a
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: great defense helps your offense. I mean, we've seen it
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: both ways. We've we've seen it, We've seen it both ways.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: But you know, offenses are really good, even the great defenses.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're gonna give up some points. But I think
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: in this case, I would take you know, especially the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: way this team is structured and what you're paying Dack
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, You're paying CD a lot of money.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: I would get an offensive I would definitely get an
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: offensive coach. Now as far as the defensive, as far
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: as what kind of mindset for your head coach, that
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: one's a little tricky because who's calling the plays. Like, like,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: if I I could see both scenarios here, if Robert
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Sala was the head coach and you had an offensive
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: coordinator that you really liked, that that worked well, with that.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe that was Shottenheimer. I would be fine with that. Uh.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: If Shottenheimer or Kellen Moore is the head coach, then
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: I want a veteran defensive you know, coordinator as well.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: So one way or another, I think I think that
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: those two have to balance. But you're asking me who
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I would rather have. If I'd rather have a top
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: five offense or a top five defense, Uh, I think
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: I would. I would take the top five offense. You know,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: give me a team that's scoring points and giving me all,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: always giving me a chance to go down. And you
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: know you can. You can come back from from games
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: if you need to. You can, you can you step
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: on their throat because you just got a great you know,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be really balanced.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: In this day and age, I would probably take a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: top five offense over a defense. Good question, though, uh
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Irwin in Colorado?
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Little cold up here, little snowy, but
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: we're dealing with it. Well.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what happens when you moved to Colorado? I
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: mean in January? I mean, isn't that kind of expected?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, It's always expected yeah, sure, that's we used to it.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: It's we look forward to the four seasons anyway. But listen, Nick,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: I was listening to Rob, and you know, I kind
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: of agree with him and most of his stuff, but
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: not everything. And that's usually the case with Rob when
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: he's calling in, I don't usually agree with him with everything.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: I have a question for you. Does Jerry Jones listen
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: to your podcast? Do you know?
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: And I hope not. No, I don't think so. I
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: wouldn't think so.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know what, I just wanted to say
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: that watching that last game, that last playoff game with Washington,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: I couldn't help but be happy for them. And that
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: sounds crazy because I really disliked them, but it was
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: just because you know, they seem to be really building
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: something really good there, the ownership, the coaches, just everything
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: in general, and I just couldn't help the thing when
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: they were doing that to Detroit what Jerry Jones was thinking.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if he ever listens to any
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: of these shows, or if he even cares to hear
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: what the fans have to think or not, but I
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: just wanted to get your thoughts on that, and one
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: more thing, if it was my decision. I would hire
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: Robert Sala and possibly go after Lincoln Riley as the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. And I'd just like to get your thoughts
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I don't see head coaches in college
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: going to be offensive coordinators in the NFL. I mean,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't see that.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, but didn't Jimmy Johnson do that when he
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: took over? Didn't he bring in college coordinators? And yeah
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: it was a little rough start, but I mean they
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: got it all worked out. What did Jerry?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: But wait, Lincoln Riley's the head coach at USC, right,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: I mean did I miss that?
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: No, he absolutely is.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: I don't see a head coach of a college team
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: going to be the offensive coordinator in the NFL.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 17: I don't.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: I don't see that that happening, especially when you're talking
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: about the money and what teams are they're getting paid
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: to do. I I just don't see that happening. I
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: think I think he would get a pay cut to
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: be the head coach to the team from you know,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know this, but I would think that Lincoln
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Riley probably makes more money at USC than than what
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: would be offered as the head coach here. I think
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know that though, but so certainly offense coordinator.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: That's why that's tough for me to to to say, oh,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I think that would happen because I just I just
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: don't see. I mean, you're the CEO of your college team, uh,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: and you know, and you you handle a lot more
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: situations there to come here and be the offensive coordinator.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I see that. Unless you were fired,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: don't have an option, then maybe maybe that's what happens.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that could be I mean, thinking about his future,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: if he was a willing to do that, then maybe
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: if things didn't work out with Sala, you could possible
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: look at absolutely moving him up to the bed coach business.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe again, that sounds great. I just can't see the
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: play for him saying this is this is a smart
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: move for me. If he doesn't work out at USC
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: and he gets fired, he's going to have a head
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: coaching job in college again, I mean, like you know,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: like he'll he'll have he'll have an opportunity to do that.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: So I just don't see as a head coach going
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: backwards to to an offensive coordinator at his point in
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: his career. I don't see that. If you see it
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: that that's fine. I don't know that that would be
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: a surprise for me. Yeah, all right, Irwin, appreciate it.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Let's let's keep it going. Rick in Western Massachusetts. Rick,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 21: How are you doing good?
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 21: I am all right?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 19: I was Julie good.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: What's what's going on?
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 21: It's gone.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 17: I'm just.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 21: Listen to you know what or Bob said earlier. Some
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 21: stuff I agree with. Sometimes I don't as far as
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 21: you know, the head coaching type thing goes. I don't
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 21: think we who had ever had a shot at Brayboo
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 21: because it was too quick. And Belichick, you know, he
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 21: has his decision he wanted before the season ended. He did,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 21: he had feelers around, he had his people call around.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 21: There's no way he doesn't think anybody would have hired him.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 21: So he said, I got to go get a job.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 21: I'll go or I wanted so I'll go to college.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 21: I don't think he had any of those two anyways. Yeah,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 21: they Bribery should have put a call out to you know,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 21: is Johnson or Glenn's agent and said, hey.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 17: We'd just like to get it.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 21: You know, maybe we can set something up and then
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 21: if then you find out Johnson doesn't want to do anything,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 21: he's he has a police that he wants to go.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 21: He probably wanted to go to Chicago many times, and
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 21: then he said now he had the opportunity, so I'll
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 21: go and take the h the job. I don't care
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 21: what everybody else thinks.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 21: Glenns Glenn left, all right, he didn't sign any contract
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 21: with the Jets. Maybe he's trying to think it over
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 21: or maybe try to look yourself. So who knows what
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 21: that one. But I would me I would hire Sala
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 21: and this he let Sala pick who he wants to be,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 21: because he when he was at the Jets, they didn't
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 21: really get a fair shake. And he's like, no, you're
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 21: going to have this offensive quarteror you're gonna have this thing,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 21: because that's what Rogers wants. Yeah, we give Sala a
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 21: chance and see what he could do with his people
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 21: that he wanted there.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I appreciate that. You know, as we
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, some of that happens here in Dallas too.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: I mean some of that, as you know, I have
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: a feeling that Schottenheimer is probably going to be here
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: as either the head coach or the coordinator. So you
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: got that going on as well. You know, you could
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: hire a Robert Sala or whatever, but you know he
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: might have his offensive coordinator already picked. Again, I don't
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: know that. I'm just saying. If you're saying, well, they
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: didn't get a fair shake with the Jets because this happened,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: and this happened. Some of that's happening here. Maybe that
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: happens at all places, you know. I don't I can't
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: say that. I know that. I don't know if Ben
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Johnson goes to Chicago with guys already in place. I
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: doubt it, at least in that scenario. But you know, again,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: it's it's all, it's all still up in the air.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's going to be an interesting next few
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: days for sure. When the weekend hits, I would imagine
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: we've got some dus going on for for sure. All right,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: let's go one more call here. This is Sheriff Lonnie.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: He's in Kansas. What's up man?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 9: Not much. How are you doing this morning?
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 9: Oh? I'm doing well? Hey? Just a quick one on
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: on shoty uh it. You know he's familiar they're gonna
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 9: I think I think Jerry's gonna go stay with familiarity,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: and uh, like it or not, They're only gonna pay
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 9: so much money. I'd like to see Aaron Glenn maybe
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 9: come in. He is familiar and uh, but let's get
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 9: him in there and get what kind of offense they're
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 9: gonna have, defense they're gonna have, the coaches are gonna have,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 9: and get ready to figure out who's the best pick
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: for the drafts. And that's all I got.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it. Yep, Familiarity seems to be
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: the theme here, you know. The only the only difference
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: is I would say of the of the three that
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: they've interviewed for, I would say the top three would
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: be Shottenheimer, Kellen Moore, and Sala And Sala really doesn't have,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: you know, have those ties like that. But that's kind
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: of where where it is right now. And we've kind
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: of you know, and I appreciate you guys for for
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: calling in having some some really good opinions, some some
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: you know, some different ideas, some out there, some some
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: right on the money. Who knows what what what this
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: is going to be? And this isn't this isn't an
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: easy show to do here on this Wednesday morning, knowing
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: that maybe by the end of the day there's going
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: to be some some uh changes here, maybe definitely, but
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: I would say definitely by the end of the week.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: I think we'll we'll know something. But anything could break
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: here sooner than later. And if it does, then you know,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I stand right now saying that, you know, Schottenneimer is
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: probably the leader in the clubhouse uh as it stands
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: right now, But things change quickly around here, and we'll see,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I appreciate you guys, great show.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Love sixteen Calls is outstanding, and and and love to
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: hear from from all you guys, and and and your opinions.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I get the frustration just not knowing where things stand.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, well, we'll find something out here, probably
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: sooner than later. So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman.
