Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kutbooms.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something Special. The Fifth Hour

(00:23):
with Ben Maller starts right now.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Maller and Danny g Radio Happy Saturday. It's the last
Saturday before the conference championship games, which are tomorrow tomorrow,
the twenty fifth day of January, and we got you
covered now. Very rarely on this podcast, we'd like to

(00:51):
say rare and appropriate. Do we do sporty pod? We
normally don't do sporty pod. But one of the cool
things about this podcast is we both work on the
radio during the week and every once in a while
somebody tries to sneak Danny, somebody tries to sneak something
through the back door on the weekend, thinking that no
one's gonna pay attention, like I don't know the Dallas

(01:15):
Cowboys for example. Yeah, so I thought we would start
with that, and the news came down last night. I
don't I don't even know what time they announced it.
I started getting text messages. It was kind of late
in you know, here in California. So, I mean, the

(01:36):
Cowboys are in Dallas, They're a couple hours ahead of
where we are, so I'm not sure exactly when it
was announced. But the Dallas Cowboys, they've made a shoddy higher.
It's what they've made. Brian Schottenheimer has agreed to a deal.
He's gonna be the new Cowboy coach.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
This is.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I know Jerry likes to be in control and all that,
and there were some stories this week that his kid,
Stephen Jones, is very cheap. He's a tightwad, a very
frugal person. Because that think about your Stephen Jones. You've
got no real talent, You've got no real skill. You're

(02:16):
just writing daddy's coattails. Right when Jerry kicks the bucket,
Steven's just going to use the Dallas Cowboys as an
ATM machine. You know, he needs petty cash, he'll just
use the Cowboys. So I understand from his perspective not
wanting to spend money, but man, what a buzzkill?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Right? What?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
And Brian Schottenheimer, you gotta be joking. What in the world,
I mean, my god.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
We're not a fan of these in house hirings.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well, it's just it's so you're the Dallas pleeping cowboy.
Isn't this something like the Chicago Bears would do or Jacksonville?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, very much so. And I remember hearing the promo
play of you on the Overnight Show talking about how
Dion would have been the perfect partner for Dallas.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh, it would have been great. It would have been wonderful.
Obviously for us, we're selfish sports content. It would have
been amazing. This is just it's it's it's rice cakes,
is what it is. It's pasta without sauce. It's Oh,
it's so bad. It's tofu. The Cowboys could have had
a nice prime rib and they said we want the

(03:27):
tofu And I read somewhere I don't I don't remember
where I read this, but I was snooping around last night.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Friday night was one of those nights, Danny where I
was like, I kind of wish I like having a
little break, but I kind of wish we had the
radio show to rant about the Cowboys. I was Jones
and and then I was like, oh I can come
in here, you know, tomorrow morning and be able to rant.
So here we are.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
But yeah, yeah, and you were off the air when
the Pete Carroll news broke right.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, Well we'll get to that. That's on
my big board. I know it is not a list,
not a list, but I read this. This blew my mind.
So Brian Schottenheimer first interviewed for a head coaching job
with the Miami Dolphins. With the Miami Dolphins, that was
after Nick Saban left following the twenty zh six season.

(04:20):
So if my math is Cort, that's almost twenty years
where Brian Schottenheimer was fussing around the NFL, going from
job to job to job to job, and now he finally,
after after all this time, is now an NFL head coach.
And he didn't even call the plays in It's very bizarre.

(04:44):
He was the offensive coordinator, he wasn't the play caller.
Mike McCarthy very hands on in Dallas. I cannot wait
till Monday. The Cowboys have scheduled a news conference for
Monday more eleven o'clock local time, noon in the East,

(05:05):
and that's nine am here in LA. But they're going
to formally introduce Brian Schottenheimer as the latest head coach
of the Dallas Cowboys. And if you want to see
bull shoy on display, wait until you hear Jerry Jones
get up there and sell. Sell. He will sell the
soap for Brian Schottenheimer. He'll put on his straw hat

(05:30):
and he will be Carnival Barker Jerry Jones. I can't
wait to see that. But man, what a what a
buzz kill, What a kick to your balls if you're
a Cowboy fan, because you're like, well, Jerry's gonna at
least go out and get a decent coach. This is.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
It is this week of not just them wanting to
save money, but Jerry needing the control. And so that's
why he went with an in house guy.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well there are well yeah, I mean that's I mean,
I think that's a fair and a quality point. But
there are levels to this, dandy, right, I mean, you
are going this is Dave Campbell, like is what this is?
If you remember years ago when they hired Dave Campo
and that was the only other Cowboy head coach to
be hired without experience as ahead. Now, listen, I don't.

(06:19):
I'm all for people getting opportunities and all that.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I just don't.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I never thought of the Cowboys as a starter job.
I never thought Jacksonville starter job, Chicago Bears starter job.
I'd never thought that Dallas Cowboys were a starter job.
So the Mallord report card on the Dallas Cowboys coaching,
they get an F. Cowboys malor report card in F

(06:44):
because you and I very rarely give f's, I very
really give fs. But this is an F. Like what
are you doing now? The Cowboys are behind the eight
ball anyway, because Dak Prescott, as long as he's there,
they're cooked. But the storyline that popped up this week
from from Dallas is that there's a I guess, a

(07:05):
weird power stoke. I don't know how Jerry Jones would
give any power up. He's he's going to ride this
thing until he goes to the convalescent home. And like Steven,
don't want to spend any money, and you know, Jerry wanted
to sign everybody, and so they made a compromise where
Jerry paid Dak Prescott, but nobody else really got paid.
So now you've got a quarterback that has a fatal flaw.

(07:28):
He's got a glitch in big games, and you've got
that going for you. And then on the other side,
you've got this roster who's a hodgepodge. They are not
not much there. So, my god, that is a four
year deal. He won't be there four years, No chance,
no chance. Man, he's been in the NFL. God, he's

(07:52):
been there. How many years? It's been probably twenty years.
He's fifty one now, maybe not yeah, probably over twenty
twenty now the story. I was getting some messages from
Cowboy fans last night and they were like, well, yeah,
he's not a great code, but he'll just be overseeing everything.
And Matt Eberflus. They're selling Matt Eberflus. This is how

(08:14):
bad the Cowboys are. They're selling well, they're gonna have
a great defense because Matt Eberflus is the defense of
forty eight. Okay, well damn do okay by your Cowboys
season tickets right now. Wow, everyone is pointing and laughing
at the Dallas Cowboys. And this is just validates all
the noise about Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. It substantiates

(08:38):
all the talk that they have no idea what they're doing.
But in Jerry's eyes, Danny, I'll bet you Jerry Jones
is like, man, this is great. You know, as long
as you talk about it, make sure you get you
pronounce my name the right way, everything is good.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, last night, around seven pm our time is when
this story broke and I pulled the comments back up
that I was can have from last night. First Cowboys
fan says JJ doing what JJ does best, that's taking
the money while making sure his team wins nothing. The
next Cowboy fan, Dave Campo, just rolled over in his grave.

(09:17):
Another puppet coach. Jerry Jones is one of the most
disappointing owners in modern sports, a complete failure as a GM,
and the only thing he's ever been all in on
is his ego. What is Shane It's tragic.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, it's it's pretty wild. It's pretty wild, and you
know it'll it'll it's so bad. In many ways, it's
good and people have talked about Jerry Jones. I had
up one of my my buddies. We've talked about this
on previous episodes of The Overnight Show, that he's he's
a he's a he's a modern day When you think

(09:55):
of the greatest promoter, the greatest showman in American history
all time, just complete showmanship, arrogance, all of that. Going back,
you've got to go to P. T. Barnum. To me,
I don't know. I mean, I know he went around

(10:15):
when I was alive, and you know I wasn't alive
when he was around. But from what I've read about P. T. Barnum,
he's the king. But Jerry Jones I'm trying to wrap
my head around. And as far as the the owner
of the count, he's like Jim Henson. You remember Jim Henson,
the guy that created the Muppets. It's like a puppet show.

(10:36):
It's it's an absolute puppet show with with with Jerry Jones.
But he'll get out there on Monday and he'll grand
stand around and he'll swanp and strut and he'll have
like I said, I'll have the straw hat. He'll have
the red and white striped shirt on or jacket, and
he'll be working his magic is what he's gonna do.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
And by the way, ap Jim Henson, Jerry Jones outlived him.
Well there, you know, Yeah, Jim Henson died years ago pneumonia.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh well, that's what he said.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I don't know if that was Yeah, he died too young.
That was.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
That was the time they covered some stuff up on that.
Now Dave, Dave Campbell still alive? You think, what do
you think? Dave Campo still alive, by the way.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Still he is. Why did that person say was rolling
in his grave.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
For comedic reasons? Did Campbo seven years old?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Whoa?

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah? And his last job was a consultant for a
USC and one of those no show jobs. But yeah,
Dave Campbell is still still around, one of the great
Dallas cowboys. But what an ear that was. They went
from chan Gaily to Dave Campbo and now they've got

(11:50):
Ryan Schottenheimer and somewhere Mike McCarthy's laughing while eating a
bowl of pasta fetichini Alfredo. He's laughing. Yeah, And I
don't want to I don't.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
You gave an f ESPN and gave this a C.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, no, no, A C is when you don't you
don't really know what you're getting. Brian. I remember when
Brian Schottneimer was the offensive coordinator for the Jets and
we used to lampoon him this is back when they
had like Mark Sanchez, and they had really good defenses
with Rex Ryan, and the offense was incompetent. And I'm

(12:28):
trying to go back. I went through my notes and
I couldn't. My notes don't go back that far. I
didn't save that stuff because I'm not a total loser.
But I remember there was several controversies when he was
with the Jets, and even in Seattle, I recall there
were some some issues there. So hey, listen, it's an
f because you were flirting with Dion Sanders all of

(12:51):
that RAS mctaz and everything, and then you go and
bring in this guy. I mean, just a cup of
room temperature lukewarm water. That's it's lukewarm.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
That is Yeah. But Ben Schottenheimer dazzled Steven Jones and
Vice president of player Personnel Will McLay after he met
with them, and he has a strong relationship with quarterback
Dak Prescott and has connected well with people inside the organization.
This according to ESPN.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, well it's a perfect nickname shoddy because this is
a shoddy higher by the Dallas Cowboys. But hey, now
maybe people will go back and play this podcast ten
years from now when the Cowboys have won seven Super
Bowls and all that, and can you believe how wrong
that was these two idiots on the podcast. Well, that's fine.
We do the show right now, right, Danny, We do

(13:46):
the show today. It's the twenty fifth of January, Saturday,
and as of this morning, as of early in the
morning here, way too early to be up, by the way,
I am thumbs down. Now do you what are you
given on the Danny G report card?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I guess I would give it a C minus. Oh
I a.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Man boo that man?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Well he because here's the caveat. I don't know what
he's going to do as far as his staff goes.
That's going to play a big role in this, because honestly,
look at the head coaches around the league, they really
are as good as their quarterback and their OC and
their DC. I want to see who he puts on
his staff.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, I've already made my mind up, and he's the
Netpo coach. Remember we used to goof on Lebron's kid
for being the net Bo baby. Well, this is the
Nepo baby of coaching. And I know there's a ton
of them, right I understand. I mean your dad, and
Marty Schottenheimer. God, I mean, I'm so old. I interviewed
Schottenheimer several times, but many many teams he coached coming
in to play the Chargers in San Diego. He actually

(14:52):
coached the Chargers in San Diego too. But you know,
the NFL is a multi billion dollar business where the
easiest way to get in is your dad coach in
the NFL. Your grandfather, Sean McVay, Shanahan, most of these guys.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Howard Stearn's dad was in radio.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, as I point out, Danny, my connection my dad
was in Ham radio. Fortunately not commercial radio. But if
you had been in commercial radio, I might you know,
I'd be doing like a morning show somewhere or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
But hey, listen, my dad made license plates.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Your dad was was very good at making small rocks
or big rock small rocks. Right to do that. And
now we get don't bear the lead, my man, don't
bear the lead. We get to the Hila monster in
the room. A greatness of the radis Danny. I know

(15:57):
that you've had some time now to says Pete Carroll,
You're gonna become the oldest head coach in NFL history.
Next season. He's gonna turn seventy four years young. Your
opening thought, Danny, on you as a lifelong Raider fan,

(16:19):
someone that if you we cut you open, black and
silver or silver and black will fall out of you,
which is probably not good. You might want to see
a doctor. But this is your squad, Danny, this is
your coach. Pete Carroll. Doesn't he seem like the antithesis
of the tough, hard ass raider, the old school raider.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
I like his sort of leadership. I know a lot
of it is raw, raw, but he also has been
a winning coach. He's also had a bad defense there
at the end of his run in Seattle. So I'm
interested to see if they can extend and give a
bigger deal to Patrick Graham and keep him in place

(17:03):
as their defensive coordinator. Very very interested to see who
he brings in as his OC. As far as the
Raiders needing like a glue guy, a guy that brings
the organization, the squad together. This could be a sneaky
good hire. At first, I was like, because of the age,

(17:23):
you know, Ben, I'll take it from Rob g who
was arguing with Rob Parker on the air Friday afternoon
Friday evening, and I was laughing because your buddy Rob
Parker was saying the Raiders were just going for a
big name. This guy's oldest dirt is he gonna coach
from a wheelchair?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
All this agism all over the Odd Couple show. Rob
g got on his mic and said, mister Parker, if
we couldn't give people jobs because of their age, you
would have been off this network and off TV back
in two thousand and six.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Whoa shots by it?

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah, he said he would have been aged out of
the media business a while ago. Yeah, so I don't know. Hey,
I'll kick it to you. What do you think about
the age? You think it's gonna take a year or
two to get this thing built up? And then at
that point he's a little too old or his age
really just a number because the guy's so damn healthy.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah. So, I'm not one of those guys every time
you hire a coach you're like, well, we're gonna end
up this guy's gonna be the next the coach for
the next ten years. I'm not that guy, right, And
the Raiders all they do is change coaches, right, It's
non stop with the coaching change. So my philosophy. I've
evolved my philosophy over the years when it comes to

(18:47):
hiring coaches. Right, it's like Huey Lewis and the News,
We're not here for a long time, We're here for
a good time. And and I actually think that Pete Carroll,
it's not an outrageous take. He knows what he's doing.
And if I'm not mistaken, he's five years younger than
the President of the United States, the Honorable Donald Trump,

(19:08):
who's in the White House, and so he's not even
as old as the President, So that you got me's close.
But and I was texting some people when I found
out about that. I actually found out that this was
likely going to happen. And the sense I got was
that the main reason Pete Carroll was hired the Raiders
and you know this, Danny, the late game situations were atrocious.

(19:35):
And as much as I you know, I loved Antonio
Pierce for many reasons, and I wanted to see that workout.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
He was his consultants, Marvin Lewis and what's his face,
formerly of the Giants, Yeah, yeah, what's his name. I
emptied him out of my brain because those guys suck.
If you're the consultants and you're walking around the sidelines
or you're up in one of the boots, why aren't
you hell being Antonio Pierce with clock management. There's all

(20:03):
these damn cooks in the kitchen and none of them
could make toast.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, well they made toast and it was burd toast
is what they made. And you know the thing about
it with the uh, the Raiders, Pete Carroll, that is
one of his claims the fame that he's got a
great record and they don't they don't screw things up
in terms of when to call time out game management situations.

(20:30):
He will spoon feed who he asked to spoon feed
and that is his biggest priority as a coach. So
from that standpoint, okay, so on the malor report card,
I'm actually gonna give this a B a B minus
on the mal report card because.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
No, stick to your b. That sounded better. Uh well, no,
be mine, which is, by the way, it was Tom Coughlin.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, Tom Coughlin, Thank you, Tom, emphasis on cough Yeah no,
but I listen, Carol will do very well. Plus as
an added bonus back at Packed ten media day at
the believe it was the Marriott Hotel near Lax. He
blew me off at a hotel near Lax. Pete Carroll

(21:18):
used the malor iPhone to call in to at that time.
I think it was like AM eleven fifty, which was
the sports station in la and he was coaching at USC.
So there was a bond that we had, me and
Pete Carroll. And this is also validation, Danny, that it's

(21:41):
validation that Pete Carroll was even though they said he
just left on his own. He was fired by the
seattlec They claimed he was retirement and all that because
he's winning his coach in franchise history. But they got
rid of him.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, they thought after they pushed after they pushed him out,
he wanted to try to get back in.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Remember, Oh yeah, no, no, for sure, I mean he
wanted he want to back and hey, good for him.
And the other thing about this, how many stories did
we we hear over the last couple of months. Well,
it's gonna be a lot different now Tom Brady's there
and he's going to go in there and they're gonna
change everything. And so Tom tom Brady was a he's

(22:22):
a big owner of the Raiders. Here's some constructive criticism.
He hired one of his old college teammates to be
the GM and UH and and then I assume he
recommended Pete Carroll, someone he coached against, who, to me,
is the kind of guy that if Tom Brady hadn't
even been involved, that's the kind of guy that I

(22:44):
think Mark Davis might have hired, Right, I don't. I
don't think it's outrageous to think that if Brady had
just been golfing somewhere in Florida, that Mark Davis might
have just said, all right, we'll hire this guy. Because
we've both been around Pete Carroll and he is a
he is a sweetheart of a guy. Right, he can

(23:06):
talk your ear off, he's he's just got that different gab.
He's got that Fengali effect as and so.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
But what with Mark Davis, you never know, he could
have very well promoted Patrick Graham, who's been interviewing elsewhere
for head coaching gigs. He could have pulled a move
like that. He could have pulled a Jerry Jones type move.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well, they they hired Pierce who was the interim guy.
And but I think they did that because remember they
didn't hire rich Pasakia Pasaca. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Remember people, So you think Mark Davis would have overcorrected
by getting the most experienced guy out there like Pete Carroll.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, yeah, and plug again Pete, I cannot. I have
nothing baddest about Pete's a bit of a bullshit artist,
but other than that, he's charismatic and he's just he's
a likable, approachable guy. And he has started to me
look a little older. But he's in his seventies, for
God's sakes, but he's still crazy. He's still got more energy.

(24:11):
I mean, these guys, maybe we all be when we're
getting older, Danny, you know, when we get to that point,
may we be like Donald Trump and Pete Carroll? Yeah,
and not Joe Biden when it comes to moving around,
you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, And he's a very competitive guy. When he was
pacing the sidelines for the Seahawks, I always felt like
they could get back into games. Like you said, he
was great at managing the end of games, and that
is something that Raider Nation is gonna love here. I
do hope that they get a modern offense in place
with a really good OC. We'll see what happens with

(24:47):
that other thing. I would add, Ben, for all the
critics who say, and this is another thing that Kelvin
and your boy Parker were going off about, they don't
have a cornerback. The Morning Show with Jonas Knox, they
were doing the same thing. They don't even have a quarterback.
So do you think that that's gonna be the case

(25:08):
when next season starts.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
I'm pretty sure they're not gonna play ten on eleven
that they will. Someone will be playing quarterback for the
r right.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
And it's not gonna be the backup eight and O'Connell.
The Raiders. Right now, as things sit, ninety three million
dollars of cap space, and that is the second most
in the NFL right now, and that number is gonna
get bigger once other roster moves are made this offseason.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Now, Danny, you know how I feel about the salary
cap eyes me nuts, drives me insane.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
But what I'm saying is, you can go get yourself
a quarterback, either at number six in the draft, or
you could buy yourself a quarterback, or you could do
both and get a bridge guy and let a youngster
sit for a season behind your bridge QB. So something
is going to be done. I understand what you're saying
about Brady's influence with the coach, but we're really gonna

(26:01):
see if Brady has real influence here with the quarterback situation.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well, and that's that's a sophie's choice. All right, you
make the call, Danny G. I'm gonna put you on
the hot seat. Are you ready, Danny G? All right,
toss up question. You are the general manager le Raiders.
You have two options good quarterback. You can either sign
Russell Wilson, who's Pete Carroll's puppet, a free agent available,

(26:31):
Russ you know, bring Russ in mister unlimited, or Sam Donald.
Those are your options.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, I'm not touching Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
So you'd go Sam Donald.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Really, I would go Sam darn my god, don't I
would go Sam Donald. Well, here's the here's the contingency plan.
I'd go Sam Donald with some of that money, which
you don't care. It's not our money. We always talk
about that. End it first round at number six. If
you're not going to get Shador Sanders, go ahead and
get Ashton Genty so that you have one of the

(27:04):
best running backs all of the sudden because they lost
Josh Jacobs and that hurt them tremendously this past season.
Get yourself a cash cow at running back, and then
in the second round you draft old miss star Jackson
Dart who needs probably a season to sit behind a
veteran once he joins an NFL team. That's the way

(27:25):
I would roll.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, well, Pete seventy gonna be seventy four, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
But hey, you could win, just like the Vikings proved
you could win with Sam Darnold right now.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, you can't in that Yeah, I mean in that division.
People said it was a good division. They didn't win
a game in the playoffs, did they. I don't think
anyone in that division won a game. Green Bay lost
to Philadelphia, Vikings lost the Rams, and the Lions lost
to the to the Command. But yeah, you know, one
a bunch of games here in the regular season.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
So well, I think they're going to add another wide receiver,
give Jacobe Meyers some more money, a new contract. You
got Brock Bauers, you got weapons, beef up that Max
Crosby led defense. You get a healthy Christian Wilkins back
in the middle. They got some parts to work with
the problem is going to be depth. That's been the

(28:16):
problem for their team for years now. Once the starters
go down injured, they're sunk because their backups would be
third or fourth stringers on other good teams.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah. Well, we have done a solid sporty podcast, and
I mean, this is amazing. We're doing sporty pod on
the weekend here. But we I'm glad we have another
story that got completely buried since we're doing all sporty
all the time. Is Bobby Slowick, who was the Flavor

(28:49):
of the Month last year. He's the Texans offensive coordinatord Day. Yeah,
well not anymore. He was excommunicated from the Houston Texans
as Friday was Take Out the Trash Day in the NFL.
You had you announced things that you know are not
going to be that popular on Friday because most people
don't pay that much attention on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday,

(29:15):
and then they, you know, because they're doing other things.
But Bobby Slowick was boy wondered. This is the I
says year. Every every season there's a hot shot coordinator
or two, and most of them flame out. Most of
them flame out, and Bobby Slowick has been let go
by the Texans and he was interviewing for head coaching

(29:37):
jobs and now he's looking for a job, so maybe
he'll be the Raiders offensive coordinator. Dan he come to
join Pete Carroll with.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
A raid, I wouldn't be mad at that. Well, I
mean a lot of stuff happened to the Texans, as
you know this past season. They lost Stefan Diggs, there
were a lot of injuries to that offense. They still
were decent. There must have been some internal problems, but
I think he's a good oc.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Nah Diamond dozen diamond, doesn't I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
That better than Shot Nimer.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Why don't we Why don't we put the ball on this?
How about that day?

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I mean that was uh, that was great man. You
missed these stories on your overnight because of when they broke. Yeah,
well you were able to handle it on the award
winning Fifth Hour podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's right, and you Danny Bingley, the Raider insider on
the Pulse of the Silver and Black, gave us that perspective.
So anyway, we will have a longated Sunday. We have
the mail bag. I know we have some stories we
wanted to share with the class. So we'll get to
all that, and we'll talk to you tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
