Buying show b So our lead this hour is from

(02:25):
the NFL Championship weekend is here. There will be a
new episode of Benny Versus the Penny. We're excited about that,
and we'll dive into the championship games there on the
TV side of things. But there is a new coach
in the NFL. If you missed the news here, that
is our lead. We open up the spreadsheet of coaches

(02:46):
there and we cross off another line in the spreadsheet
there we fill in the grid and if you did
not hear by now, it's a doozy unless it's not.
So the Tampa Bay Buccaneers off. It's of coordinator Liam Cohne,
who told the team originally he was staying in Tampa

(03:07):
has said, you know what, psych, Yeah, I'm actually leaving.
So Thursday night, late Thursday night, not that long before
he cracked the microphones. Here on FSR, we learned that
Cohn has said bye bye to Tampa Bay and he
will be moving across the Sunshine State to Jacksonville. He's

(03:29):
going to Duoal County. Now. That decision puts a nice
bow on a forty eight hours circus in which Cohen
pulled himself from consideration, said, ah, you know, I don't
really want the job. I'm like, I don't want to
go and work for your team. I'm out. He then

(03:51):
agreed to a contract extension with the Buccaneers that, if
you believe the media reports, would have made him the
NFL's highest paid coordinator. That's a lot of money, only
to change his mind after Jacksonville reached out to ask
him to reconsider because they had whacked their GM. Trent Bulky,

(04:15):
are you keeping score? There'll be a quiz on this later.
You are okay, good, You're keeping score. So let us
discuss the question for the panel, and you're part of
that blue ribbon panel, The question what is your evaluation
what is your evaluation of Liam Cohne making the U
turn the one and eighty degree turn to coach Jacksonville.

(04:41):
So I've got Paris Fashion Week, doppel Ganger, and hot
air balloon, and we're going to combine all of these
things together and we are going to make the chicken
shwarma is what we're going to make delicious? All right?
Not to lead off, Liam Cohne pulled the ultimate power play,

(05:03):
power play, power play. This is great. This is right
out of the playbook from medieval times, not the restaurant
medieval times, actual medieval times. Let me explain. So he
told Shod Cohn, here be dragons in your organization. Right,
here be dragons. Did they only get that reference? Yeah,

(05:26):
So supposedly in medieval times they've gone back and studied
the drawings and the drawings. If they thought something was dangerous,
they would draw on the wall and the cave a dragon.
So here be dragons. It supposedly means there's something wrong.
So within forty eight hours, Shod Cohn the con man

(05:50):
killed the fire breathing dragon. So no, more dragons, at
least not at the very top. And now Liam Kohne
can strut into the facility in Jacksonville like he's visiting
Paris Fashion Week, hanging out in Peri, right under the
Eiffel Tower. He can strut down the runway and do

(06:12):
a pirouet because we're told that not only will he
make essentially the same money as Ben Johnson in Chicago,
but he gets to hand pick, gets to hand pick
his GM with the Jags. How about that? So sometimes
in life you're better off rejecting a job. Think about that.

(06:38):
I could have been an NFL head coach. He didn't
want the job, and he said no, and then that
made the Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shot Cohn rip his hair out.
He's like, no, we gotta have this guy as our coach.
What a flex? What a flex for a guy. Let's
be honest. Here a little bit of a checkered resume.

(07:00):
The Pride and Joy of Rhode Island another name from
the Sean McVay coaching tree. Riding the Sean McVay coat
tails into a head coaching job. Now the Malor report card,
the Malor report card, the Jaguars hiring Liam Cohane. They

(07:21):
get on the Malor report card, a C, a C
on the Mali of report card. Here's why so I
am agnostic on this. I have ranted for many times.
The hot shot coordinator who gets promoted is a classic
trope of the coaching carousel. It's a dime a dozen

(07:42):
the fail rate. I look these numbers up for the
TV show. The fail rate is fifty percent of coaches
within three years. It's about fifty percent now. I think
it's twenty twenty. I think the numbers right around fifty.
Coaches hired since twenty twenty have already lost their jobs.

(08:05):
But normally it's within three years you're out. We've had
seven straight years where a coach has been hired and
immediately fired. And there's a common story as old as
time when you talk about NFL coaches, the great assistant coach,
bad head coach. And there have been some historical coaches

(08:26):
that have been celebrated, right celebrated, and then all of
a sudden they get the job, and whether it's Dick
Lebau back in the day, Buddy Ryan, Dave Wanstat more recently,
in recent generations, you've had crazy eyes with the Jets,

(08:47):
who was supposed to be God's gift going to Peyton
Manning and that didn't really work out. Of course, nothing
works out with the Jets. You had that higher that
was a total disaster. There have been a few others
that can't miss that absolutely were disasters. Some of them
were easy to predict, like Nathaniel Hackett with the Denver Broncos.

(09:09):
But my god Man and supposedly my boots on the ground,
who may or may not host the top rated morning
show in Tampa tell me that part of the contract
that Liam Cohne agreed to with the Buccaneers was that
he wouldn't take a second interview with Jacksonville, who goofed

(09:32):
I've got to know. Wow, that's probably why he ghosted
the Buccaneers. He's like, well, I agree to the contract,
but it's not I didn't sign it. See. What they
should have done is send over one of those docu
signs that became very popular during COVID, like everything's got
to be a docu sign, and then boom, you got
the docu sign contract. He didn't do that. They didn't

(09:53):
do that, man, So now Liam Cohne is given the
key to the Jacksonville, Kingdom and he has to unlock
the enigma of Trevor Lawrence. Good luck. All right. Furthermore,
we heading now to Chapel Hill. We go to Chapel
Hill Bill Belichick. Big news, he has not left. Bill

(10:15):
Belichick has agreed to finally sign his contract at the
University of North Carolina. However, the buyout was not altered,
which means Bill Belichick is really only under contract until
June first, and he's got a ten million dollar buyout

(10:36):
till June first. So that means, if like in early July,
an NFL coach gets arrested for doing a line of
coke off of strippers, took us and they fire the coach,
they could hire Bill Belichick. That's what that means, because
after June first, it drops to one million dollars the buyout. Now,

(10:58):
for me, million dollars would be amazing. I'm guessing for you,
one million dollars would be a great mitzvah for Bill
Belichick and for NFL owners. They wipe their took us
and it's a million dollars all right. Now. The other
storyline here, we are told that television networks are lining up,

(11:19):
lining up to broadcast Bill Belichick's games for the Tar Hills.
They're all trying to get their hands on these games,
spotlighting his coaching debut. For example, the first game is
gonna be on prime time on the Entertainment and Sports Network,
small startup cable channel, a very woke channel out of Bristol, Connecticut. Now,

(11:43):
the TV executives, the TV people, let's frame it like this.
The TV people are lining up to broadcast Bill Belichick
North Carolina games. How does this story look from thirty
thousand feet up in the air? So it looks marvelous.
You talk about things that are predictable. Who could not

(12:05):
have seen this coming? This is a doppel ganger situation.
It is a rerun. They are looking for the next
Prime Time the next coach prime Dion Sanders two point zero,
the afterglow of Dion. You look at all of these
guys that have gotten jobs in part because of Dion Sanders.

(12:28):
Now I don't know that Belichick is on that short list,
but there are some other guys. Michael Vick is on there.
There's some other players that have gotten jobs with no
coaching experience because of Dion Sanders. But the whole Belichick
angle it's like American Idol. You dim the lights and
here we go, Bill Belichick. It's entertainment. It's the entertainment business.

(12:50):
And it has been proven that people will watch games
of teams that are not that good because of the
star factor that people not us were hardcore sports people
right worth meat and potato sports. But the casual fan
will tune in even if you're not a big football fan.
You're like, Bill Belichick, isn't he dating that eighteen year

(13:14):
old or whatever? I mean, come on, he's like in
his eighties, he's in his seventies. But Bill Belichick coaching teenagers.
You know what that's going to be like. That is
going to be like a carnival attraction or a train
wreck or a little bit of both. But either way,
every man, woman in child will not stop looking and

(13:37):
listening to the curiosity the pit of curiosities that that
will be in Chapel Hill. All right, now, last thing,
we go back to the coaching carousel. It would appear
another name has been eliminated. If you had Robert Salah
getting a head coaching job, it appears you are a loser.

(14:00):
But the former Jets coach does have a job in
the NFL. Sala is quote expected to return to the
Niners as the defensive coordinator. Now that is a position
that he had way back from, like I think it
was twenty seventeen to twenty twenty. He was there for
several years. So how do you evaluate former Jets coach

(14:24):
Robert Salah getting another plumb gig to go back to
the Bay Area as the forty nine ers defensive coordinator.
So Robert Sala is like a hot air balloon. He
goes up and he goes down. He's also full of
hot air. But in the big picture, you look at

(14:48):
Robert Sala what a wonderful halfway house. This is right.
He's like you go there, you hang out for a
couple of years. You know, the Niners run hot and cold.
They were a last place team this year, likely to
be back as a wild card team next year behind
the Rams. And Sala is a good defensive coordinator. He

(15:08):
can hide out in San Francisco and wait for another
coaching cycle and then you know, you go down, you
go up. It's like an elevator or a hot air balloon.
As we said. And while we are told that not
only will Robert Sala get a plumb job with the
forty nine ers, he will be the highest paid defensive

(15:30):
coordinator in the NFL. Is there a database? How do
we know that's even true? I have not been able
to find if anybody knows a website that has coaches
salaries on it, Like, there's a million websites that have
NFL player salaries on it, but the coaching salaries are
all hush hush. You think you know, but you don't

(15:51):
really know. And a lot of the numbers are bull crap.
I was told by a buddy of mine that works
in the NFL that a lot of the numbers are
inflated because agents want to look better in the media.
It helps them get obvious. Obvious they get other clients.
So if a coach is making seven million dollars a year,

(16:12):
they'll say they're making eleven million dollars or ten million dollars,
whatever it is. They'll embellish the numbers. It's Enron Bernie
madeoff level accounting makes everyone look better. It's a Ponzi scheme. Well,

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
That's Bill Miller. Here a reminder to check out social media.
We are on all social media channels. From X which
is used during the show. You can say hello to
Ben at Ben Mahler. Cooper Loop is in the producer's chair,
Say how to Coop. He's right over there at uh

(17:46):
bronco fan that's uh Bronco fan Lorena, say hello to
her at FSR Tech Queen. Is it true, Lorena that
a bunch of the fans of the show have offered
to cover your loss the dollar fifty lost on the
vending machine item that did not fall down from the
Fox Sports Radio vending machines.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
They must really know we hurt in here at Fox.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Clearly, clearly, so Lorena panhandling now for money. You can
also follow Ben on Blue Sky whatever that is. He's
on there now as well. He just started following Marcel
in Brooklyn, which you will probably regret. He's on there
as well. You can get on the usual suspect. There'll
be new videos up later today on Instagram and on

(18:33):
the Facebook page promoting the TV show shamelessly promoting from
behind the scenes, as the people over there at Universal
Studios have allowed Ben to roam freely on the back lot,
the iconic back lot, and so taking full advantage of that.
You can follow Ben on Instagram, Ben Maller on Fox,
and the Facebook page Ben Mahler Show. Were now back

(18:57):
to the talk. Well, it is a bill, it is
a talk show. It's a talk show, and I I talk,
you talk we all talk. It's amazing, absolutely amazing. Let's
see here. Late night Drug tester says, even if there
was a website showing a coach as salary, it would

(19:18):
be just as reliable as the one saying overnight radio
hosts are millionaires. Yeah, I do. I do love that.
If you type in my net worth it says I'm
like five million dollars or something like that. Now, I
would love to wake up and have that kind of
net worth. That would be amazing, And I'm sure that

(19:40):
the company I work for here would love to make
that dream come true. But so far they have not.
So far. They want to keep me relatable. They want
to keep me relatable. You know, I'm not. I'm not multitasking.
You know, Like I could go coach college basketball. I'd
go like gott Leave, I could coach college basketball somewhere right.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
I would support you in this.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
You think I could could do as well as as Doug.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, and still run your show. Definitely.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah. Would they let me That's a great question. If
I got a gig, like a side gig, they let
me do the TV show. But if I got a
gig like you know, I don't, I'm thinking off at
the top of my head. Here, if I got a
job coaching softball somewhere and I gotta gig coaching, So
would would I be able to do the overnight show

(20:26):
with all my hot takes? Would they allow that? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:30):
I don't know, valid question.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I have no idea. I think Guy, my guy Gottlieb
though he needs a slumpbuster or something.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
There.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
You gotta get some wins there at a Green Bay. Right,
things are not going so well apparently. I don't know
what happened, but hopefully they'll pick things up. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say all loa to Angry Bill,
who's in the Sunshine State. And I got a compliment
from one of my friends in radio, Angry Bill. They
loved your call the other day when you ranted about

(20:59):
CC's bath you of being an alcoholic. They thought that
was great radio.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Or you should have let me finish what I was
saying and it would have been even better. But you know,
you've cut me off the air because you're prejudiced. You
are prejudiced. Good thing I'm black, Good thing I'm black.
You are totally prejudice. You are prejudice against me, and
that's just the way it is because I'm black? Why
don't you favor deep breath? I think you stunk to show? Okay,

(21:37):
it's stunk.

Speaker 1 (21:39):

Speaker 3 (22:01):
And he's still? I think it's fun as all.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Now he's gonna blame me. Oh yeah, you hung up
on me again? You know you ruined my call? Did
I hang up on him? Coop? No, there's no way
I could have hung up on it too.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
It was like all of a sudden, like how.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Would you pay your phone bill? Angry bill? You're tight wad.
I don't think he's using an Obama phone like Halloween
James or some of these guys. I don't know. Anyway,
let's go back to the phones. We'll say hello to uh,
who do we have here? Let's say hello to j
Dot in Utah? Hello? J Dot Man?

don't know. All right, So first we've got a complete unknown.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
No idea what that is? What is that?

Speaker 7 (28:02):
It's the Bob Dylan story starring Timothy Chalomy.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, well, I think I heard about a Bob Dylan movie,
but I didn't know that name, so I won't count
that as one. I've heard him, so I kind of
vaguely heard about. I think I watched a football game
they had a like a promo for a Bob Dylan Yeah.

Speaker 7 (28:20):
Yeah, and when he showed up on college game day,
that's what he was promoting that. But okay, ope for one,
the substance no idea with then, okay, the brutalist.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
No chance, no idea.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Here we go, Here we go. Wicked.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yes, yes, did you see it? Well? Kind of kind
of so I may or may not have. Somebody might

Oh man, there was way too much singing.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
They don't send them out anymore, right, No, they don't. Yeah.
That was the only reason it was cool to be
part of that, because they'd send out the screeners. Is there, like,
there must be a website that we don't have access
find the website?

Speaker 7 (31:20):
Well, so, so what they do now is they basically
send it, send you tickets so that you can go
see it live in person, because I guess too many
people were sharing the DVDs or copying the DVDs.

Yeah, oh, how do you get those sticks?

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Do I remember I am in Minnesota? Correct?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
You were calling me one time you're on your way
to the airport. Am I correct on that? I feel
like I just dropped somebody off there you go. All right, Well, gentlemen,
you're gonna play the game. Your name is your buzzer.
It is sports Jeopardy. The categories are category one, record book,
Category two. To win the game, Lenny, you were on
the air first crypt keeper? Which category?

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Let's go a record book?

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Okay, I will name the team. You tell me they're
all time leading receiver. Your name is your buzzer for
two hundred dollars. We'll start out easy. The San Francisco
forty nine.

Speaker 7 (36:13):
Ers, Lenny first.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Jay Zy for Gayzy, Jerry Rich. That is correct, Jerry Rice,
the greatest of all time at that position. Four hundred dollars.

The Dirty Birds, the Atlanta Falcons. Bug Bougety again, Roddy White. No,

(36:38):
all right, Lenny, you want to steal her?

Speaker 6 (36:40):
Pat take a shot. Andrew? Oh wait, no, no, I'm Risen.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
That was a shot, but not a good shot. No, yes,
Jubio Jones, Jones for Jones. Yeah, most records, as you know, Lenny,
are modern because the numbers are video game like in
the NFL in the last twenty years. All right, here
you go. I'll name the team. Tell me they're all
time leading receiver. For six hundred dollars. We get a
little harder here, the Green Bay Packers. Oh for Ghayzy.

(37:14):
Again for gay Zy.

Speaker 6 (37:17):
Let's go Don Hudson.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
You're going old school. That is incorrect, not Don Hudson.
All right, Lenny, you want to give a shout. I
can't think of somebody Donald Donald Driver. You guys remember
Donald Driver? All right? Embarrassing? Oh that is that's not good.

(37:41):
I'll name the team. Tell me they're all time leading receiver.
It is sports Jeopardy on the Ben Mallace Show. If
you like this, we do it every week at this time.

a week. So who cares? All right, eight hundred dollars.

steal Lenny or I.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Can't think of any of those guys.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, it's a bit of a trick question because this
guy never actually played for the Tennessee Titans. Played for
the old Houston Oilers. I think he did, if I remember, No, no,
he did the I think he did the electric slide.
If I remember Ernest Gibbings, you do the electric slide
back in the day, I think he did. Maybe I'm
making that.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
I had never even heard of him.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Oh well, you're yeah, he's before your time. I mean
I think he played. He probably last played in like
the nineties. Yeah, the Warren Moon team for sure. All right,
Well that's all we have time for Cooper. But I
don't think anyone won the game. Everyone's a loser.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Lenny actually has positive points.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
So hey, Lenny, you want to get wancome back next week, Lenny.
Of course you do. We'll have Lenny back next week.
