welcome in Hope. You're doing wonderfully, wonderful. Obviously. I think
(00:47):
the lead is the Lions victory over the Green Bay Packers, right,
Like oftentimes you get into to football season and you're like,
you get to this time, you you're like, what do
we go with? Because we do have huge college football
games this weekend, gigantic, gigantic college football games this weekend. Huge,
(01:11):
okay huge, but we also have what I think is
something going on with the Lions that's worthy of discussion. Now,
I think everybody's talking about going forward on fourth down
lighton packer territory. Here's Dan Campbell explaining that decision.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I just felt like we needed to end it on offense,
you know, and I did not want to get that
ball back. And I believe we could get that. I
believe we can convert, you know, And I trusted that
old line. I trusted David, and they came through fourth
sense a hell of a call by Ben. You know
it just I knew how I wanted to play this game,
the team knew it, and everything in me told me
(01:51):
that let's finish this. Say so we did. Look, I
told the guys knew, players knew, the coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the way. If you know, we
could be up two scores, we could be down two scores.
And but just because we're one or the other, we
got to play our style of game, going in what
we felt like we need to do, what I felt
like we needed to do. And so that meant the
(02:12):
risk was there, and you know, and you fell in
negative territory, you got you know, you're trying to hold
him to a field goal. But I knew that was
that was how I wanted to play that team with
where we were at.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Here's Jared Goff, his quarterback, talking about that decision. Jared
obviously had had a chance to really kind of think
about it before he got up there. Jared said this.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Dan, I had mentioned that early in the week that
you know, he was going to really lean on our
offense to make some things happen and certainly be aggressive
on forth down if the opportunity to presented itself. And
there at the end, I know he was kind of
in between what he wanted to do and obviously made
the right decision.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah. I mean it's one of those things where after
the fact you're like, well, of course, but I think
that one was an easy one. I truly do. And
before we start talking like and I heard Cowherd act
like this is different than the Patriots, No, it's not.
(03:10):
Belichick would do this time and again. If it's one play,
just one to win a game, Belichick would try and
do it did against the Colts. I think it was
like a Monday night football game, maybe a Sunday night
game where he went forward in his own territory and
didn't get it and be more hypercritical and the whole
idea was like, it's one play, you get it, you
(03:31):
win the game, period stop. And that's about right. That's
about right what I think is at play. And I
know the Lions have some injuries on the defensive side
of the football, but I think we kind of see
or feel maybe maybe I'm going overboard because it's just
(03:52):
two games, right, because they put fifty six on the Jags.
They beat the Colts twenty four to six. But if
you look at the Bears and then the Packers, they
got the Bills in nine days. They still go to
the Bears, go to the Niners Vikings at home. It
feels like people are getting closer closer, and obviously the
(04:16):
defense is banged up, and this team reminds me in
so many ways of the undefeated New England Patriots team
really does, maybe mostly because their last game of the
year is against the Vikings, a team who they may
(04:37):
well play in the playoffs. And that's what happened to
the Patriots who lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl.
They played the Giants late in the year and they
kind of squeaked one out and people start to reel
in their offense a little bit, and finally the Giants
were able to kind of figure them out. Now, part
of it was they had the NASCAR pass rush where
they just got after it and Brady came limited. They
(05:01):
were super physical outside of the numbers, and they limited
Randy Moss enough and undefeated Patriots team lost. That was
the David Tyree ketch to the Giants and Super Bowl.
I just look at the Lions here, and I was
critical of Dan Campbell's decisions last year. I'd be critical
of his decisions in game this year. The decision the
(05:24):
fourth quarter to me, was a very easy one. You know,
it's the one play to win a game, or we
punt it and they get it back, you know, and
they move it down the field and they get to
that same spot. One play wins a game. I thought
that one was easy. But they're going forward in your
own territory. That's not a great move. And remember Campbell
(05:44):
made some what I thought were ill fated decisions, not
because of the result, because of the actual decision itself. Okay,
not because the result. This is going back last year
against the sam just go forty nine ers when they
had a lead, had lead the fourth quarter and couldn't
hang on and end up losing to the Niners who
went to the Super Bowl. So we've been down this
(06:07):
road before with Dan Campbell and it didn't work. And
I don't think when I said it didn't work, it's
not because of the results. It was because of the
decisions themselves. But the one in the fourth quarter was
an easy one. I don't know anybody who's watching home,
it's like, you know what you should do here, as
you should punt? You know, jayse dud did you have
(06:27):
any thoughts that he was going to punt that football?
Do you have any thoughts that he was going to
do anything other than go for it?
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay, So I just want to set this up for
the Whistars. It was it was fourth and one on
Green Bay's twenty one with forty three seconds left. If
he kicks a field goal, they go up three with
forty three seconds left. He decided to go for it
(06:55):
so he could run the clock down. I think everybody
at home was saying, how could you not kick a
field goal? Especially after there was a bad snap and
the handoff barely got the day with Montgomery. He got
the first down and they won the game. But no,
it was definitely an unusual decision to go for it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, although if you get the first down, it's one
play you win the game. It's still the same idea,
you know, still the same idea. So I don't know.
To me, it's exactly what you're trying to do. It's
the one play to win a game. And the forty
three yard field goal becomes what it was the game
winner on how far was the game winner? Just seeing here,
(07:40):
I was looking at the stats. The game winning field
goal was a thirty five yarder. And if you've ever
seen the stats in regards to what is it the
the stats on field goal kicking in the in the
NFL inside forty yards is like ninety five percent, And
(08:03):
granted they're at ninety you know, they're still in the
low nineties to high eighties when you're at forty three yards.
But I don't know, I just felt like it was
it was one wins the game and that was what
ended up steeling for you. But I do think that
the Packers are getting closer. I think the field is
gonna get closer. I think you've seen the Bears. People
(08:24):
are starting to figure them out a little bit. And
it doesn't mean the Lions won't win a Super Bowl
much the way who was It, much the way the
Patriots didn't win the Super Bowl. But I do think
that what looked like the best team in the league
is still probably the best team in the league. But
the margins becoming more and more slight, if that makes
(08:46):
any sense to you. Margins becomes more and more slight.
I'm super excited for this deal. I just am. I'm
excited for this weekend because you have the college football stuff.
You know, tonight UNLV Boise State. If Boise wins, you know,
(09:06):
they they clinch a spot in the field. I don't
think they should be a four seed, but they clinch
a spot in the field. That should be awesome. Rapid

So do we actually think Bill Belichick would take the
Carolina job? What do we think? Let's discuss that next
on The Doug Gotlieb Show.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Merry Christmas to you. Happy to hear Doug Gottlieb Show
Sports Radio. This from Inside Carolina. Carolina source confirms to
Inside Carolina Report that Bill Belichick interviewed for UNC's head
coaching job. Quote, he blew them away in the interview,
told the Belichick's interest is high and genuine, but extremely
unlikely to happen due to his age and lack of
(10:19):
college experience. If you don't hire Bill Belichick because of
his age and lack of college experience. And I get it,
Like you're coming off of Mac Brown, who's older, right
and obviously a legend in college. And they tried to
run that back the same way they did last time
he was at Carolina. It didn't work. But like, what
(10:40):
are we doing? You know? I mean, is it wrong
Jay stew to mention the girlfriend is that low hanging fruit?
I didn't say that you know, he wanted to get
her in state tuition so she could figure finish shepherd degree.
(11:00):
I didn't say that. My point is, and I'm not
talking about that thing. I'm just saying he does have
the energy to have a twenty something in the year
old girlfriend. Right. See him riding bikes, He's doing TV,
He's doing all this other stuff. Like why is it
so hard to think that he couldn't do the college thing.
(11:22):
My guess would be, if he doesn't get the job,
it's because he wanted to do it to then hand
it off to his son and they don't want that.
That would be my guess. But is it wrong, Jay
STUDI to bring in the girlfriend?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
It's not wrong, No, no, no. I saw the joke
a thousand times online last night.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But I'm not making it as a joke. I'm making
a reality. Reality is like, it's not like, you know,
this is the retirement tour, and you know everywhere he's
you know, when he gets off the plane, he's got
to wait to get the wheelchair and he's going through
Walmart on the little scooter deal. He's got an oxygen
tank right like seventy two year old Datius. She's in
(12:05):
her twenties, isn't she Yep, yeah, And don't get me wrong,
like that to me sounds miserable. No, I mean it,
It sounds miserable. Like think of all of my eighties
and nineties references which would completely go away.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's like when we used to get together. Watch the
thriller video. Y you don't. You've never seen MTV with
music videos? Yeah, I just that's not me. That's not
who I am. But the point is that if you like,
it's an energy thing. You know, there's all different sorts
(12:45):
of seventy twos. Sometimes guys get to be in their fifties,
they're like, I'm done, and they slow down and then
everything in their life slows down and they're very happy.
This is not a shot at if you want to
slow it down, you want to shut it down your
fifties and sixties and you're fine financially well off like
by all means you can. But age is just in
(13:06):
fact a number to me, I don't know. So for
people who don't know, for people who don't know, the
reality of everything is is this okay? The reality of
it is this. Mike Gandy has a contract that's a
rollover deal and he's owed twenty five million dollars? Did
(13:28):
they fire him without costs just for being bad? Then
his assistant coaches and they fired the offensive a defensive coordinator.
I think it's assistant coaches like all in are like
five million dollars as well. Now, the cause thing is
interesting because it allows them to walk away. But I
just I'm gonna say something which it may not go
(13:52):
over well with people at my at that university, But
if I was Mike Gundy, I would tell them to
stick because, you know, like if they want a restructure
contract where the you know what doesn't shine. Don't get
me wrong, from the university's perspective, it's a terrible contract.
I don't know why anybody would agree to a rollover deal,
(14:12):
which we are all familiar with what a rollover deal is.
Right every year at renews to a twenty five million,
twenty five million dollar buyout. But finding cause means you
don't have to pay him a penny, And like I
get it, Like this was a bad year. Last year
they won ten games. They brought everybody back and they
(14:34):
won three garbage Okay, so I understand the level of Hey,
it's it's not acceptable. But like and and I know
that no one man is bigger than the entire school,
No one guys bigger than you know, the entire football program.
But who are we kidding? Like Mike Gundhi is Oklahoma
(14:56):
State football. I vehemently did disagreed with his with how
he handled the Ali Gordon d Ui. I do understand it, right,
it took a lot of the attention off of Ali, who,
by the way, just declared for the NFL Draft. But really,
over a bad season, you're going to potentially potentially not
(15:20):
just fire him, but you're threatened to fire him and
not pay him a penny. Okay, good luck with that.
Good luck with that? Is that is that's ego speaking.
This is nothing but a you know what contest measuring contest.
(15:40):
And you know it's one thing to go like, hey,
look we'll negotiate, you know, can we negotiate it by it?
But if you say like this's for cause, that means
you're going to dig something up and make it into
something much bigger. Because if it's four cause and it's
really a fireable offence, then you fire him. And this
is like I'm not a lawyer, but I can talk
(16:03):
to one, and I guarantee they're going to say the
same thing. Well, if it's really cause and you really
have something on them, show us what it is, and
go ahead proceed with firing them. But you don't. All
this is is a threat to get that contract changed,
which is some form of negotiation. And it's a to
the Mattresses negotiation. And that sounds like a really really
(16:23):
bad idea, really really really bad idea, really bad. Did
I mention it's a bad idea? I think I did.
It's a bad idea. Let's let's get some NFL talk.
Mark Dominic joins us. He's the former GM of the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He joins us on the Doug Gotlib
Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark, what'd you think
(16:44):
of the Packer lying game last night?
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Well, I think it was entertaining. It showed me Green
Bay can hold up against the Detroit team. That showed
me Detroit to overcome you know, some injuries that still
beat a Green Bay team. These are two really good
football teams that you know, And so Doug, I think
it was a game where it felt like Detroit was
in control because of the way they held onto the
ball and just managed the clock, but green Bay continued
(17:06):
to kind of scrap it through. I think it was
great football. I think it's good for the game. I
think it's good for both teams, although green Bay doesn't
want to lose. It's a great story out of Detroit.
But it also shows you that you know, both those
teams are headed to the playoffs and they're both gonna
be tough outs.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Does it feel to you at all like the Patriots
undefeated regular season where people are getting closer.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yes, I mean Detroit's Detroit's just such a complete team.
If they can find a way to get healthy by
the end of the season and get through the month
of December and find out where aiden really truly is.
I just think that that team is frighteningly strong and
just so balanced. And it goes back to the players.
Obviously love coach Campbell. He's been very fun to entertaining
(17:57):
since he got there. But this really comes down to
Brad Holmes and the general manager, and the decisions he's
made along the way have been tremendous to have the
guts to go where he was from, to go get
the golf who was cast off in theory, and then
the draft picks that they've put together over the last
three or four seasons. Of all these guys making impact plays,
Brad Holmes should be executed the year.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't think there's any question there. I mean there's
you know, I don't there's any question that personnel is outstanding. Okay,
the decision to go for could kick a forty three
yard field goal and give them forty some odd seconds
to get within field goal range indoors right, or go
for it and you can run down the clock and
kick out What was the thirty five yard field goal
(18:40):
to win it? What'd you think of that decision? Well?
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I thought it was tough. You know, I think when
the Packers are sitting there, obviously the game is tied
at thirty one to thirty one, I kind of like
what they did. I think that it was the right call.
I think that they used their timeouts correctly, put themselves
in a spot where they're saying, hey, look we could
kick it, but let's make sure we don't give the
(19:04):
ball back. So I thought it was a tremendously gutsy call.
Again where the head coach believes in this team, and
you know, they hand the ball off to Montgomery and
he gets the first down and boom, and you know,
seven yards is a lot of young Again, if you've
never kicked a field goal, I challenged people to go
out there and kick a field goal under pressure. It's
pretty entertaining. But the closer you can get, they just
(19:25):
felt like that was such a better chance, and I
think they thought they knew they couldn't lose the game. Doug,
I thought it was a gutsy call at the time.
I'm like, oh, I don't know if I do this.
But he knows his team, and I think that's what
makes him such a good coach and why he's doing
such a great job with all those wins and all
these wins in a row.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Steut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trade. I don't
know if people have seen this, but you can go
actually online and you can see, you know, field goals
inside what and what it does for you and the field. Yeah,
you're right. I mean, like, look, field goals inside forty
yards is a ninety seven percent hit rate. Ninety seven
(20:03):
percent outside forty yards is like eighty nine percent, So
you know, I just I think that's it's it's a
hard decision, but the point that you made, which is
the right one, which is like, if they don't get it, yeah,
I guess you could lose the game. They march down
the field and they score, but because of the tie game,
(20:25):
it's a little less of a difficult decision. Now. He
made some questionable decisions last year against the Niners, probably
overly aggressive at times, under aggressive at times. Right, do
you think that comes back to get you.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I think you've got to. I think you've got to
kind of be consistently who you are and and I
understand what you mean, you know, sometimes it was a
little I think he's going to consistently put the hammer
down if he feels like it's in a good spot.
I think he also looked at it with at fourth
and one Green Bay twenty one, Green Bay burned all
three timeouts, the odds of them flipping that field around,
and can happen? Patrick Mahomes did it, you know, kind
(20:59):
of so it can happen. But I just feel like
I think that's the team he wants to have, is
one that sits there and has full confidence, and he
does too. I don't think that'll come back and bite them.
I really don't. I think this is going to be.
The mentality he's building within those players is going to
be very helpful.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Stut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark Dominic
is our guest. The Niners are an interesting team, right
They continue to struggle brock Perty's contracts coming up. They
do have potentially another year, and yet there's talk of
making him their franchise quarterback at the end of the season.
What would you do if you were in charge there.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Well, I would be willing to extend Brock Purtty. I
know it's been a shockingly poor year for him from
a touchdown interception ratio, way different than what we saw
in previous seasons. I played slow. There's no reason to
rush this, you know. I think I would probably take
it all the way up to training camp, but I
won't Trevor Lawrence this. I think if Brock pretty wants
(21:58):
a deal, he's not going to get, you know, Dak
Prescott's sixty or Trevor Lawrence fifty five, because I just
think that the Jaguars showed everybody you don't have to
do that. There was never an upside this to you, Doug.
No one ever said that Trevor Lawrence should get fifty
five year. And I'm not mad at Trevor Lawrence. I'm
just saying it just didn't make sense. I think the
Rams under the York Family with John Lynch and I
(22:21):
think they're looking to tell you we'll do a deal,
but it's going to be in that forty five to
fifty range. We got to kind of put the Tampa
this down. I don't see brock Party going out there
and say after this year, going yeah, I want sixty
a year. I'd say play it out. That's what I
would tell them, like Gould and play it out. But
if you're willing to come in around that forty five
to fifty, I think that they see enough at practice,
and they've seen enough overtime, and we you know, it's
(22:41):
been a very frustrating season. But I would have confidence
in signing brock Party if it wasn't that forty five
to fifty range. But I'm not letting them set the
market because it's just not to me that I may
him play another year improven.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
What makes sense for the Jets in terms of hiring
a coach in a GM, I mean, obviously it's a
they've gone after the bright shiny objects, so oftentimes, if
you're rebuilding the Jets, what do you do?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's hard not to
want to look at like a Ben Johnson and look
at a guy that's a play caller who's had success,
knowing that that way, you're not going to have to
switch it out every time you have success.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Right.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
There's something nice about Andy Reid where you know that
the offense is going to be offensive the offense, and
so I think you have to think offensive side of
the ball so you can get something established in an
identity you want. In terms of the general manager, it
doesn't always have to be like it doesn't have to
be you know, a well, because Detroit's doing well and
we've got to hire something from Detroit or because you
(23:36):
know the Ravens are good, you have to. But the
one team I would look at is Pittsburgh. I think
Pittsburgh's done a very good job of putting draft after
draft after draft together with different pieces. I think that's
a team that you will kind of look at. Yes,
I know Pittsburgh's having a good season, but I don't
think you just have to go to the hot team
and the hot teams that I got to take that coach
and that player. But I do think you should think offensively.
I think that's what this game is built to be,
(23:58):
and that way, you know, you've got that stability at
that position going forward. And for the GM, I think
you've got to make sure that you keep somebody that's
I think you know, I think you want somebody that's
you know, Ben pro scout who's been in the office,
but Elso's been a costcout and had to grind some
of its seemed both. But somebody has been a little
bit more in house cause they understand the day to
day operations of what's going on. And I think that'll
(24:18):
make that transition a little smoother.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, it's it's it's super interesting. Now. The problem is,
if you hire serf from Pittsburgh, he's probably going to
hire somebody he knows as head coach, right like you
don't you don't hire a Ben Johnson And you know
with the idea that the GM is going to be
somebody they don't have a previous relationship.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Well you need. The unique thing here is because they've
got the thirty thirteen helping them with this process. Obviously,
Rix Spielman has been a general manager for a long time, Peck,
what are you Johnson hired Mike Pannabam to fire the
next or hire the next gym, even though he fired
Mike a long time ago. So I think what you'll
do is they'll work on the GM part. But then
I think they open it up and I think they'll
get the GM set really quickly. I think within uh,
(24:57):
you know, a week of the season being over. Then
they'll they'll let the head, the GM and the thirty
thirteen work together to look at the head coach so
it doesn't have to be I mean, he's more comfortable
with and I think during the GM process in terms
of the interview process, you're going to want to know
like who's your hotlest who are the people that you
think you can get to, who are the people you
like and why. But I think you open it up,
so make sure you interview four to six to eight
(25:20):
head coaches or coaches, I should say, And it doesn't
have to come from the tree of the general manager.
I don't think that's always a good idea.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark Dominic
is our guest. Corse, former general manager of the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, the Bears, and how they handled the Eberflus firing. Right,
he does the press conference and then fired later that day.
Many are being critical of the mccaskey's, you know, and
(25:49):
the other parts of the front office. What's the reality
to it from your perspective.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Yeah, I mean it is what it is, this life
in the National Football League. They probably were trying to
figure out what they want to do or how they
wanted to do it. Maybe they're was a little bit
of an internal debate on what's how we're going to
handle this, and so it got a little slow, and
so you know, you keep the ball roll and you know,
I sadly was you know, part of having a fire
head coach in my career, and you know, I think
(26:15):
he felt like it wasn't happening. It wasn't going to happen,
and it did, and you know, it's almost everybody's blindsided.
I didn't think I was getting fired. I got pretty
reassured the week before that everything was fine. So you know,
it comes with the territory. Uh, maybe it's not the
best look, but I think Kevin Warren, you know, has
tried to clean things up, and you know, we'll see
what Thomas Brown does. If Thomas Brown can find a
(26:36):
way to win a bunch of games, suddenly he might
become the front runner automatically just because of you know,
the relationship of you know, him with the with the
GM and having success right there.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Doug Gotlieb Show, Fox Sports Show. Yeah, he's having a
ton ton of says. I want to ask you to
put your player evaluation at on for a second. Do
you like the quarterbacks that are playing over the next
couple weeks in college ball? Should those games be weighted
more because of the quality of a competition and the
(27:06):
importance of each play.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Well, I think you do have to wait things obviously.
I mean that there's no it's sands or butts about that.
And in terms of what they can compete against and
who they can compete against, I think that's very fair
and I think that's, you know, just logical to do,
because I think that's the way that you can kind
of determine whether you think, you know, this player is
better than that player. But I think that as you
see players go along and you see the pressure mount,
(27:32):
it's it's going to give you something, But you have
to take the entire season or seasons, and you have
to do the you know, really the grind. And this
is the one thing I've said before, Doug, and you
may have heard this with the unique thing about pro
scouting and where we get it wrong and I got
it wrong, is we send our area scout, a coordinator,
our director or assistant GM. The GM. That's five people
(27:54):
that watch that quarterback play, and then the position coach,
the coordinator and the head coach. That's at least eight
ple that have written reports on a quarterback, whether it's
you know, Carson Becker or who are Queen you Weers
or whoever it is. The problem is we only send
one scout in to do the character in the background.
And I think that's almost reversed. And so I think
the amount of time you've got to dig into the
(28:14):
character of the kid is more important than maybe exactly
what he's doing on the playoffs, as we've got to
watch him going forward. But I love it. I think
it's gonna be great. It's gonna be interesting see who
can really rise to the occasion. But if a guy
has a bad game, you know, we've seen quarterbacks that
have bad games that are you know, really good quarterbacks,
and so you can only take it with a grain
of salt in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Mark, awesome stuff, man. I hope you had a great
Thanksgiving and you have Mary Merry Christmas. And next week
we have a college football playoff and we'll have more
NFL to talk about. Thanks me, our guest on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
My pleasure and enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Pleasure is always, always, always mine. Mark Dominic joining us
here on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
We got a lot to get to here, Lonzo Ball. Finally,
this has happened actually twice this week in which things
that I have said on this show have proven to
(29:06):
be completely correct, even though at the moment in time
there's been a ton of pushback. That plus I got dabs.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Next, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. You know,
I hate losing. I hate being wrong. I have, in
fact lost this week. We lost to i U I
(29:46):
in an Apple Indiana University, Indianapolis. But I have twice
been proven right over long, long ago historically significant tweets
or debates that we yea, I will prove you me
right twice. Top of the hour. Meantime, let's get to
(30:06):
Isaac Lowan Grond and play a game.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
This is game time game on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hey there, I Low What do you got?
Speaker 8 (30:18):
My friend, Doug, As my kids frequently say mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, got.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
My Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
Mike, iPads, desserts. The list is endless.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
All right, give it to me. Now we got dibbs.
Who's got DIBs on the following? What job would you
like to see Bill Belichick get next?
Speaker 9 (30:41):
Please be creative?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh, I have many differences.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I got TIBs on the Raiders. I kind of want
I want to see what happens when Bill Belichick gets
a Raiders job and then tries to bring in Josh McDaniels.
That would be kind of fun.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
He was a huge fan of Al Davis. He interviewed
for the Raiders head coaching job.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
By Al once Patriot takeover.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
Why hasn't that been discussed yet?
Speaker 8 (31:08):
That's Rays, Rays.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Vegas is my kind of town.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
Rays take DIBs on the Browns. Go back to the Browns, Like,
I'm just Kevin Stefanski. Still is a job, doesn't he. Yeah, well,
let's just say that job's open. Back to the Browns.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Baby, no connection with the models.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I mean it's interesting.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
The weather here is like my personality is dark and storm.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
You guys came to play today, I anything else.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Probably wanted to be the coach of the Jets, I
mean the Giants, Sorry, the Giants.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
Sure, okay, he'd be self loathing if he's the coach
of the Jets.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
He hates the Jets, hates the Jets, was the head
coach for like a minute. Hates hates, hates, hates, hates,
hates the Jets. Giants though, loves and it's a bit
of life come full circle. Because of course, he was
Bill Belichick's Bill Parcell's assistant back in the day. We
kin only know what that's to do with it. Maybe
I'm missing some hate.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
The Jets, Jets, the Jets, some good.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I would also like him to be the press secretary
for the new President of the United States.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Now, how would that go? Give us an audition? Example? Here,
what what's what? What's your.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Mister, mister Belichick, he's announced from Congress Senator Johnson, I
believe said that we're no longer gonna fund Ukraine in
their war against Russia. Uh, why would the why would
the president elect choose to align himself with Russia who
(32:57):
invaded Ukraine?
Speaker 10 (33:00):
Answer the question twice, I don't know who's who's not.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I could see him at the podium in that ripped
hoodie sweatshirt. All of these, all of these possibilities are
quite quite tantalizing. As hopefully, now, hopefully you guys can
continue the momentum here with our next item, what do
you have DIBs on? What New York Jets quarterback and
(33:26):
universally acknowledged weirdo Aaron Rodgers is doing five years from now?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
What do you have DIBs on?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I got DIBs on He's off the Grid.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Yeah, we'll be releasing shortly thereafter a Netflix documentary on
him being off the grid.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
I just want to be left alone on.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
The camera following me. Of course, I think he's doing.
I got DIBs on some kind of massive podcast in
kind of in line with Joe Rogan stuff. Maybe he's
colosing with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
That's a pretty good Actually, that's I could definitely see that.
That's a good one. When when Doug set off the grid,
I thought about, since Sam is a huge John krackhau Fan,
I am to be confused with other books the subject
of Into the Wild the guy that ended up in
led Alaska.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, did he die in a bear attack?
Speaker 10 (34:21):
No, he was. He died of starvation because he was
like eating these tubers that were like related to potatoes,
and they ended up like causing him to like lose weight,
and he became emaciated. Probably was eaten by a bear
shortly thereafter. Oh, I read that a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
But a name, a friend of my named Dale, by
the way, has he went bear hunting? I have bear
meat to cook at my house in my freezer.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Kid you not, I'm guessing four years from now? Is
it organic? Is organic?
Speaker 10 (34:55):
As it gets?
Speaker 9 (34:56):
I know?
Speaker 8 (34:58):
Okay, can you give us a field season? Can you
give us a field report on how it tastes after
you consume?
Speaker 10 (35:05):
Of course I have not yet.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I haven't tried it yet. I've heard that the fat
content is very high. Honestly, they were loading up for winter,
you know, right before they were right before.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
Where did this Yeah, thanks, I just assumed they bored
it to death by making them watch videotapes of the
Chicago Bears offense. Anyway, Oh where did this particular bear
meet its untimely demise?
Speaker 2 (35:37):
In the upper Peninsula of Michigan?
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Okay, fascinating.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
You know, we've gone into a lot of different Okay,
we don't. Did you miss the first two times?
Speaker 2 (35:49):
These are these are these are shotgun sound effects created
by my mouth. So that's the best.
Speaker 10 (35:55):
Like, I take it easy there. Dick Cheney right here did.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Not have a shotgun with that bear.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Dick Cheney and Bill Belichick kind of have a similar delivery,
kind of that was that.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
Was that was my Bill Clinton similar souls too, all right?
Speaker 8 (36:12):
That there finally worst ideas in sports right now?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
You got I got DIBs on the golden at bat.
Golden at bat dumb idea for sure, dumb. Just turn Sorry, Jason,
I knowed Jason's like, oh man, I was just if
Jason could hear, he would have heard the question and
he would have reacted quicker.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
You know the old Phraser's no such thing as a
stupid question, right, Yeah, sometimes there is. That's something that
should have been kept under wraps. You don't go public
with that because he I think, injured his reputation by
even mentioning that it's such a stupid idea.
Speaker 8 (36:53):
Well, it's better than it's better to workshop it and
realize how stupid it is than to actually announce it
and say that it's a dune deal.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Correct, that's what That's what he's saying. He's saying it
hurt his credibility to even say that they considered it.
Speaker 10 (37:06):
I got DIBs on the current twelve team college football
playoff bracket as it is now. I love an expanded playoff,
but we got about a minute left here, guys, which
parts of it are?
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (37:17):
Here's the tars I don't like. I don't like the
teams that get a buye or don't even get a
home game. I don't like the way that teams are
seated and ranked right now, with Boise Stay getting a bye.
It needs some tweaking. I don't like it in its
current form.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Fair I'm going to go with unrivaled. Uh, there's a
league with women basketball players that's going to.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
Start up Pere pretty I got three on three league, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Three on three league unrivaled. I think this should change
it to rival because a lot of people don't want
to do it, and I'd throw in the NBA Cup.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I think the NBA BA Cup was a good idea.
I just think nobody cares. But the idea is not
the worst. It doesn't rival the unrivaled, it doesn't rival
the other. I think college ball playoff is also bad planning.
I will point out when I'm wrong, and I will
point out when I'm right two times next to the

welcome in Hope. You're doing wonderfully, wonderful. Obviously. I think
(00:47):
the lead is the Lions victory over the Green Bay Packers, right,
Like oftentimes you get into to football season and you're like,
you get to this time, you you're like, what do
we go with? Because we do have huge college football
games this weekend, gigantic, gigantic college football games this weekend. Huge,
(01:11):
okay huge, but we also have what I think is
something going on with the Lions that's worthy of discussion. Now,
I think everybody's talking about going forward on fourth down
lighton packer territory. Here's Dan Campbell explaining that decision.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I just felt like we needed to end it on offense,
you know, and I did not want to get that
ball back. And I believe we could get that. I
believe we can convert, you know, And I trusted that
old line. I trusted David, and they came through fourth
sense a hell of a call by Ben. You know
it just I knew how I wanted to play this game,
the team knew it, and everything in me told me
(01:51):
that let's finish this. Say so we did. Look, I
told the guys knew, players knew, the coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the way. If you know, we
could be up two scores, we could be down two scores.
And but just because we're one or the other, we
got to play our style of game, going in what
we felt like we need to do, what I felt
like we needed to do. And so that meant the
(02:12):
risk was there, and you know, and you fell in
negative territory, you got you know, you're trying to hold
him to a field goal. But I knew that was
that was how I wanted to play that team with
where we were at.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Here's Jared Goff, his quarterback, talking about that decision. Jared
obviously had had a chance to really kind of think
about it before he got up there. Jared said this.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Dan, I had mentioned that early in the week that
you know, he was going to really lean on our
offense to make some things happen and certainly be aggressive
on forth down if the opportunity to presented itself. And
there at the end, I know he was kind of
in between what he wanted to do and obviously made
the right decision.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah. I mean it's one of those things where after
the fact you're like, well, of course, but I think
that one was an easy one. I truly do. And
before we start talking like and I heard Cowherd act
like this is different than the Patriots, No, it's not.
(03:10):
Belichick would do this time and again. If it's one play,
just one to win a game, Belichick would try and
do it did against the Colts. I think it was
like a Monday night football game, maybe a Sunday night
game where he went forward in his own territory and
didn't get it and be more hypercritical and the whole
idea was like, it's one play, you get it, you
(03:31):
win the game, period stop. And that's about right. That's
about right what I think is at play. And I
know the Lions have some injuries on the defensive side
of the football, but I think we kind of see
or feel maybe maybe I'm going overboard because it's just
(03:52):
two games, right, because they put fifty six on the Jags.
They beat the Colts twenty four to six. But if
you look at the Bears and then the Packers, they
got the Bills in nine days. They still go to
the Bears, go to the Niners Vikings at home. It
feels like people are getting closer closer, and obviously the
(04:16):
defense is banged up, and this team reminds me in
so many ways of the undefeated New England Patriots team
really does, maybe mostly because their last game of the
year is against the Vikings, a team who they may
(04:37):
well play in the playoffs. And that's what happened to
the Patriots who lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl.
They played the Giants late in the year and they
kind of squeaked one out and people start to reel
in their offense a little bit, and finally the Giants
were able to kind of figure them out. Now, part
of it was they had the NASCAR pass rush where
they just got after it and Brady came limited. They
(05:01):
were super physical outside of the numbers, and they limited
Randy Moss enough and undefeated Patriots team lost. That was
the David Tyree ketch to the Giants and Super Bowl.
I just look at the Lions here, and I was
critical of Dan Campbell's decisions last year. I'd be critical
of his decisions in game this year. The decision the
(05:24):
fourth quarter to me, was a very easy one. You know,
it's the one play to win a game, or we
punt it and they get it back, you know, and
they move it down the field and they get to
that same spot. One play wins a game. I thought
that one was easy. But they're going forward in your
own territory. That's not a great move. And remember Campbell
(05:44):
made some what I thought were ill fated decisions, not
because of the result, because of the actual decision itself. Okay,
not because the result. This is going back last year
against the sam just go forty nine ers when they
had a lead, had lead the fourth quarter and couldn't
hang on and end up losing to the Niners who
went to the Super Bowl. So we've been down this
(06:07):
road before with Dan Campbell and it didn't work. And
I don't think when I said it didn't work, it's
not because of the results. It was because of the
decisions themselves. But the one in the fourth quarter was
an easy one. I don't know anybody who's watching home,
it's like, you know what you should do here, as
you should punt? You know, jayse dud did you have
(06:27):
any thoughts that he was going to punt that football?
Do you have any thoughts that he was going to
do anything other than go for it?
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay, So I just want to set this up for
the Whistars. It was it was fourth and one on
Green Bay's twenty one with forty three seconds left. If
he kicks a field goal, they go up three with
forty three seconds left. He decided to go for it
(06:55):
so he could run the clock down. I think everybody
at home was saying, how could you not kick a
field goal? Especially after there was a bad snap and
the handoff barely got the day with Montgomery. He got
the first down and they won the game. But no,
it was definitely an unusual decision to go for it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, although if you get the first down, it's one
play you win the game. It's still the same idea,
you know, still the same idea. So I don't know.
To me, it's exactly what you're trying to do. It's
the one play to win a game. And the forty
three yard field goal becomes what it was the game
winner on how far was the game winner? Just seeing here,
(07:40):
I was looking at the stats. The game winning field
goal was a thirty five yarder. And if you've ever
seen the stats in regards to what is it the
the stats on field goal kicking in the in the
NFL inside forty yards is like ninety five percent, And
(08:03):
granted they're at ninety you know, they're still in the
low nineties to high eighties when you're at forty three yards.
But I don't know, I just felt like it was
it was one wins the game and that was what
ended up steeling for you. But I do think that
the Packers are getting closer. I think the field is
gonna get closer. I think you've seen the Bears. People
(08:24):
are starting to figure them out a little bit. And
it doesn't mean the Lions won't win a Super Bowl
much the way who was It, much the way the
Patriots didn't win the Super Bowl. But I do think
that what looked like the best team in the league
is still probably the best team in the league. But
the margins becoming more and more slight, if that makes
(08:46):
any sense to you. Margins becomes more and more slight.
I'm super excited for this deal. I just am. I'm
excited for this weekend because you have the college football stuff.
You know, tonight UNLV Boise State. If Boise wins, you know,
(09:06):
they they clinch a spot in the field. I don't
think they should be a four seed, but they clinch
a spot in the field. That should be awesome. Rapid

So do we actually think Bill Belichick would take the
Carolina job? What do we think? Let's discuss that next
on The Doug Gotlieb Show.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Merry Christmas to you. Happy to hear Doug Gottlieb Show
Sports Radio. This from Inside Carolina. Carolina source confirms to
Inside Carolina Report that Bill Belichick interviewed for UNC's head
coaching job. Quote, he blew them away in the interview,
told the Belichick's interest is high and genuine, but extremely
unlikely to happen due to his age and lack of
(10:19):
college experience. If you don't hire Bill Belichick because of
his age and lack of college experience. And I get it,
Like you're coming off of Mac Brown, who's older, right
and obviously a legend in college. And they tried to
run that back the same way they did last time
he was at Carolina. It didn't work. But like, what
(10:40):
are we doing? You know? I mean, is it wrong
Jay stew to mention the girlfriend is that low hanging fruit?
I didn't say that you know, he wanted to get
her in state tuition so she could figure finish shepherd degree.
(11:00):
I didn't say that. My point is, and I'm not
talking about that thing. I'm just saying he does have
the energy to have a twenty something in the year
old girlfriend. Right. See him riding bikes, He's doing TV,
He's doing all this other stuff. Like why is it
so hard to think that he couldn't do the college thing.
(11:22):
My guess would be, if he doesn't get the job,
it's because he wanted to do it to then hand
it off to his son and they don't want that.
That would be my guess. But is it wrong, Jay
STUDI to bring in the girlfriend?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
It's not wrong, No, no, no. I saw the joke
a thousand times online last night.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But I'm not making it as a joke. I'm making
a reality. Reality is like, it's not like, you know,
this is the retirement tour, and you know everywhere he's
you know, when he gets off the plane, he's got
to wait to get the wheelchair and he's going through
Walmart on the little scooter deal. He's got an oxygen
tank right like seventy two year old Datius. She's in
(12:05):
her twenties, isn't she Yep, yeah, And don't get me wrong,
like that to me sounds miserable. No, I mean it,
It sounds miserable. Like think of all of my eighties
and nineties references which would completely go away.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's like when we used to get together. Watch the
thriller video. Y you don't. You've never seen MTV with
music videos? Yeah, I just that's not me. That's not
who I am. But the point is that if you like,
it's an energy thing. You know, there's all different sorts
(12:45):
of seventy twos. Sometimes guys get to be in their fifties,
they're like, I'm done, and they slow down and then
everything in their life slows down and they're very happy.
This is not a shot at if you want to
slow it down, you want to shut it down your
fifties and sixties and you're fine financially well off like
by all means you can. But age is just in
(13:06):
fact a number to me, I don't know. So for
people who don't know, for people who don't know, the
reality of everything is is this okay? The reality of
it is this. Mike Gandy has a contract that's a
rollover deal and he's owed twenty five million dollars? Did
(13:28):
they fire him without costs just for being bad? Then
his assistant coaches and they fired the offensive a defensive coordinator.
I think it's assistant coaches like all in are like
five million dollars as well. Now, the cause thing is
interesting because it allows them to walk away. But I
just I'm gonna say something which it may not go
(13:52):
over well with people at my at that university, But
if I was Mike Gundy, I would tell them to
stick because, you know, like if they want a restructure
contract where the you know what doesn't shine. Don't get
me wrong, from the university's perspective, it's a terrible contract.
I don't know why anybody would agree to a rollover deal,
(14:12):
which we are all familiar with what a rollover deal is.
Right every year at renews to a twenty five million,
twenty five million dollar buyout. But finding cause means you
don't have to pay him a penny, And like I
get it, Like this was a bad year. Last year
they won ten games. They brought everybody back and they
(14:34):
won three garbage Okay, so I understand the level of Hey,
it's it's not acceptable. But like and and I know
that no one man is bigger than the entire school,
No one guys bigger than you know, the entire football program.
But who are we kidding? Like Mike Gundhi is Oklahoma
(14:56):
State football. I vehemently did disagreed with his with how
he handled the Ali Gordon d Ui. I do understand it, right,
it took a lot of the attention off of Ali, who,
by the way, just declared for the NFL Draft. But really,
over a bad season, you're going to potentially potentially not
(15:20):
just fire him, but you're threatened to fire him and
not pay him a penny. Okay, good luck with that.
Good luck with that? Is that is that's ego speaking.
This is nothing but a you know what contest measuring contest.
(15:40):
And you know it's one thing to go like, hey,
look we'll negotiate, you know, can we negotiate it by it?
But if you say like this's for cause, that means
you're going to dig something up and make it into
something much bigger. Because if it's four cause and it's
really a fireable offence, then you fire him. And this
is like I'm not a lawyer, but I can talk
(16:03):
to one, and I guarantee they're going to say the
same thing. Well, if it's really cause and you really
have something on them, show us what it is, and
go ahead proceed with firing them. But you don't. All
this is is a threat to get that contract changed,
which is some form of negotiation. And it's a to
the Mattresses negotiation. And that sounds like a really really
(16:23):
bad idea, really really really bad idea, really bad. Did
I mention it's a bad idea? I think I did.
It's a bad idea. Let's let's get some NFL talk.
Mark Dominic joins us. He's the former GM of the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He joins us on the Doug Gotlib
Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark, what'd you think
(16:44):
of the Packer lying game last night?
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Well, I think it was entertaining. It showed me Green
Bay can hold up against the Detroit team. That showed
me Detroit to overcome you know, some injuries that still
beat a Green Bay team. These are two really good
football teams that you know, And so Doug, I think
it was a game where it felt like Detroit was
in control because of the way they held onto the
ball and just managed the clock, but green Bay continued
(17:06):
to kind of scrap it through. I think it was
great football. I think it's good for the game. I
think it's good for both teams, although green Bay doesn't
want to lose. It's a great story out of Detroit.
But it also shows you that you know, both those
teams are headed to the playoffs and they're both gonna
be tough outs.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Does it feel to you at all like the Patriots
undefeated regular season where people are getting closer.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yes, I mean Detroit's Detroit's just such a complete team.
If they can find a way to get healthy by
the end of the season and get through the month
of December and find out where aiden really truly is.
I just think that that team is frighteningly strong and
just so balanced. And it goes back to the players.
Obviously love coach Campbell. He's been very fun to entertaining
(17:57):
since he got there. But this really comes down to
Brad Holmes and the general manager, and the decisions he's
made along the way have been tremendous to have the
guts to go where he was from, to go get
the golf who was cast off in theory, and then
the draft picks that they've put together over the last
three or four seasons. Of all these guys making impact plays,
Brad Holmes should be executed the year.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't think there's any question there. I mean there's
you know, I don't there's any question that personnel is outstanding. Okay,
the decision to go for could kick a forty three
yard field goal and give them forty some odd seconds
to get within field goal range indoors right, or go
for it and you can run down the clock and
kick out What was the thirty five yard field goal
(18:40):
to win it? What'd you think of that decision? Well?
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I thought it was tough. You know, I think when
the Packers are sitting there, obviously the game is tied
at thirty one to thirty one, I kind of like
what they did. I think that it was the right call.
I think that they used their timeouts correctly, put themselves
in a spot where they're saying, hey, look we could
kick it, but let's make sure we don't give the
(19:04):
ball back. So I thought it was a tremendously gutsy call.
Again where the head coach believes in this team, and
you know, they hand the ball off to Montgomery and
he gets the first down and boom, and you know,
seven yards is a lot of young Again, if you've
never kicked a field goal, I challenged people to go
out there and kick a field goal under pressure. It's
pretty entertaining. But the closer you can get, they just
(19:25):
felt like that was such a better chance, and I
think they thought they knew they couldn't lose the game. Doug,
I thought it was a gutsy call at the time.
I'm like, oh, I don't know if I do this.
But he knows his team, and I think that's what
makes him such a good coach and why he's doing
such a great job with all those wins and all
these wins in a row.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Steut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trade. I don't
know if people have seen this, but you can go
actually online and you can see, you know, field goals
inside what and what it does for you and the field. Yeah,
you're right. I mean, like, look, field goals inside forty
yards is a ninety seven percent hit rate. Ninety seven
(20:03):
percent outside forty yards is like eighty nine percent, So
you know, I just I think that's it's it's a
hard decision, but the point that you made, which is
the right one, which is like, if they don't get it, yeah,
I guess you could lose the game. They march down
the field and they score, but because of the tie game,
(20:25):
it's a little less of a difficult decision. Now. He
made some questionable decisions last year against the Niners, probably
overly aggressive at times, under aggressive at times. Right, do
you think that comes back to get you.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I think you've got to. I think you've got to
kind of be consistently who you are and and I
understand what you mean, you know, sometimes it was a
little I think he's going to consistently put the hammer
down if he feels like it's in a good spot.
I think he also looked at it with at fourth
and one Green Bay twenty one, Green Bay burned all
three timeouts, the odds of them flipping that field around,
and can happen? Patrick Mahomes did it, you know, kind
(20:59):
of so it can happen. But I just feel like
I think that's the team he wants to have, is
one that sits there and has full confidence, and he
does too. I don't think that'll come back and bite them.
I really don't. I think this is going to be.
The mentality he's building within those players is going to
be very helpful.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Stut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark Dominic
is our guest. The Niners are an interesting team, right
They continue to struggle brock Perty's contracts coming up. They
do have potentially another year, and yet there's talk of
making him their franchise quarterback at the end of the season.
What would you do if you were in charge there.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Well, I would be willing to extend Brock Purtty. I
know it's been a shockingly poor year for him from
a touchdown interception ratio, way different than what we saw
in previous seasons. I played slow. There's no reason to
rush this, you know. I think I would probably take
it all the way up to training camp, but I
won't Trevor Lawrence this. I think if Brock pretty wants
(21:58):
a deal, he's not going to get, you know, Dak
Prescott's sixty or Trevor Lawrence fifty five, because I just
think that the Jaguars showed everybody you don't have to
do that. There was never an upside this to you, Doug.
No one ever said that Trevor Lawrence should get fifty
five year. And I'm not mad at Trevor Lawrence. I'm
just saying it just didn't make sense. I think the
Rams under the York Family with John Lynch and I
(22:21):
think they're looking to tell you we'll do a deal,
but it's going to be in that forty five to
fifty range. We got to kind of put the Tampa
this down. I don't see brock Party going out there
and say after this year, going yeah, I want sixty
a year. I'd say play it out. That's what I
would tell them, like Gould and play it out. But
if you're willing to come in around that forty five
to fifty, I think that they see enough at practice,
and they've seen enough overtime, and we you know, it's
(22:41):
been a very frustrating season. But I would have confidence
in signing brock Party if it wasn't that forty five
to fifty range. But I'm not letting them set the
market because it's just not to me that I may
him play another year improven.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
What makes sense for the Jets in terms of hiring
a coach in a GM, I mean, obviously it's a
they've gone after the bright shiny objects, so oftentimes, if
you're rebuilding the Jets, what do you do?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's hard not to
want to look at like a Ben Johnson and look
at a guy that's a play caller who's had success,
knowing that that way, you're not going to have to
switch it out every time you have success.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Right.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
There's something nice about Andy Reid where you know that
the offense is going to be offensive the offense, and
so I think you have to think offensive side of
the ball so you can get something established in an
identity you want. In terms of the general manager, it
doesn't always have to be like it doesn't have to
be you know, a well, because Detroit's doing well and
we've got to hire something from Detroit or because you
(23:36):
know the Ravens are good, you have to. But the
one team I would look at is Pittsburgh. I think
Pittsburgh's done a very good job of putting draft after
draft after draft together with different pieces. I think that's
a team that you will kind of look at. Yes,
I know Pittsburgh's having a good season, but I don't
think you just have to go to the hot team
and the hot teams that I got to take that coach
and that player. But I do think you should think offensively.
I think that's what this game is built to be,
(23:58):
and that way, you know, you've got that stability at
that position going forward. And for the GM, I think
you've got to make sure that you keep somebody that's
I think you know, I think you want somebody that's
you know, Ben pro scout who's been in the office,
but Elso's been a costcout and had to grind some
of its seemed both. But somebody has been a little
bit more in house cause they understand the day to
day operations of what's going on. And I think that'll
(24:18):
make that transition a little smoother.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, it's it's it's super interesting. Now. The problem is,
if you hire serf from Pittsburgh, he's probably going to
hire somebody he knows as head coach, right like you
don't you don't hire a Ben Johnson And you know
with the idea that the GM is going to be
somebody they don't have a previous relationship.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Well you need. The unique thing here is because they've
got the thirty thirteen helping them with this process. Obviously,
Rix Spielman has been a general manager for a long time, Peck,
what are you Johnson hired Mike Pannabam to fire the
next or hire the next gym, even though he fired
Mike a long time ago. So I think what you'll
do is they'll work on the GM part. But then
I think they open it up and I think they'll
get the GM set really quickly. I think within uh,
(24:57):
you know, a week of the season being over. Then
they'll they'll let the head, the GM and the thirty
thirteen work together to look at the head coach so
it doesn't have to be I mean, he's more comfortable
with and I think during the GM process in terms
of the interview process, you're going to want to know
like who's your hotlest who are the people that you
think you can get to, who are the people you
like and why. But I think you open it up,
so make sure you interview four to six to eight
(25:20):
head coaches or coaches, I should say, And it doesn't
have to come from the tree of the general manager.
I don't think that's always a good idea.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark Dominic
is our guest. Corse, former general manager of the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, the Bears, and how they handled the Eberflus firing. Right,
he does the press conference and then fired later that day.
Many are being critical of the mccaskey's, you know, and
(25:49):
the other parts of the front office. What's the reality
to it from your perspective.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Yeah, I mean it is what it is, this life
in the National Football League. They probably were trying to
figure out what they want to do or how they
wanted to do it. Maybe they're was a little bit
of an internal debate on what's how we're going to
handle this, and so it got a little slow, and
so you know, you keep the ball roll and you know,
I sadly was you know, part of having a fire
head coach in my career, and you know, I think
(26:15):
he felt like it wasn't happening. It wasn't going to happen,
and it did, and you know, it's almost everybody's blindsided.
I didn't think I was getting fired. I got pretty
reassured the week before that everything was fine. So you know,
it comes with the territory. Uh, maybe it's not the
best look, but I think Kevin Warren, you know, has
tried to clean things up, and you know, we'll see
what Thomas Brown does. If Thomas Brown can find a
(26:36):
way to win a bunch of games, suddenly he might
become the front runner automatically just because of you know,
the relationship of you know, him with the with the
GM and having success right there.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Doug Gotlieb Show, Fox Sports Show. Yeah, he's having a
ton ton of says. I want to ask you to
put your player evaluation at on for a second. Do
you like the quarterbacks that are playing over the next
couple weeks in college ball? Should those games be weighted
more because of the quality of a competition and the
(27:06):
importance of each play.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Well, I think you do have to wait things obviously.
I mean that there's no it's sands or butts about that.
And in terms of what they can compete against and
who they can compete against, I think that's very fair
and I think that's, you know, just logical to do,
because I think that's the way that you can kind
of determine whether you think, you know, this player is
better than that player. But I think that as you
see players go along and you see the pressure mount,
(27:32):
it's it's going to give you something, But you have
to take the entire season or seasons, and you have
to do the you know, really the grind. And this
is the one thing I've said before, Doug, and you
may have heard this with the unique thing about pro
scouting and where we get it wrong and I got
it wrong, is we send our area scout, a coordinator,
our director or assistant GM. The GM. That's five people
(27:54):
that watch that quarterback play, and then the position coach,
the coordinator and the head coach. That's at least eight
ple that have written reports on a quarterback, whether it's
you know, Carson Becker or who are Queen you Weers
or whoever it is. The problem is we only send
one scout in to do the character in the background.
And I think that's almost reversed. And so I think
the amount of time you've got to dig into the
(28:14):
character of the kid is more important than maybe exactly
what he's doing on the playoffs, as we've got to
watch him going forward. But I love it. I think
it's gonna be great. It's gonna be interesting see who
can really rise to the occasion. But if a guy
has a bad game, you know, we've seen quarterbacks that
have bad games that are you know, really good quarterbacks,
and so you can only take it with a grain
of salt in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Mark, awesome stuff, man. I hope you had a great
Thanksgiving and you have Mary Merry Christmas. And next week
we have a college football playoff and we'll have more
NFL to talk about. Thanks me, our guest on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
My pleasure and enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Pleasure is always, always, always mine. Mark Dominic joining us
here on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
We got a lot to get to here, Lonzo Ball. Finally,
this has happened actually twice this week in which things
that I have said on this show have proven to
(29:06):
be completely correct, even though at the moment in time
there's been a ton of pushback. That plus I got dabs.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Next, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. You know,
I hate losing. I hate being wrong. I have, in
fact lost this week. We lost to i U I
(29:46):
in an Apple Indiana University, Indianapolis. But I have twice
been proven right over long, long ago historically significant tweets
or debates that we yea, I will prove you me
right twice. Top of the hour. Meantime, let's get to
(30:06):
Isaac Lowan Grond and play a game.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
This is game time game on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hey there, I Low What do you got?
Speaker 8 (30:18):
My friend, Doug, As my kids frequently say mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, got.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
My Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
Mike, iPads, desserts. The list is endless.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
All right, give it to me. Now we got dibbs.
Who's got DIBs on the following? What job would you
like to see Bill Belichick get next?
Speaker 9 (30:41):
Please be creative?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh, I have many differences.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I got TIBs on the Raiders. I kind of want
I want to see what happens when Bill Belichick gets
a Raiders job and then tries to bring in Josh McDaniels.
That would be kind of fun.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
He was a huge fan of Al Davis. He interviewed
for the Raiders head coaching job.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
By Al once Patriot takeover.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
Why hasn't that been discussed yet?
Speaker 8 (31:08):
That's Rays, Rays.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Vegas is my kind of town.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
Rays take DIBs on the Browns. Go back to the Browns, Like,
I'm just Kevin Stefanski. Still is a job, doesn't he. Yeah, well,
let's just say that job's open. Back to the Browns.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Baby, no connection with the models.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I mean it's interesting.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
The weather here is like my personality is dark and storm.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
You guys came to play today, I anything else.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Probably wanted to be the coach of the Jets, I
mean the Giants, Sorry, the Giants.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
Sure, okay, he'd be self loathing if he's the coach
of the Jets.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
He hates the Jets, hates the Jets, was the head
coach for like a minute. Hates hates, hates, hates, hates,
hates the Jets. Giants though, loves and it's a bit
of life come full circle. Because of course, he was
Bill Belichick's Bill Parcell's assistant back in the day. We
kin only know what that's to do with it. Maybe
I'm missing some hate.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
The Jets, Jets, the Jets, some good.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I would also like him to be the press secretary
for the new President of the United States.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Now, how would that go? Give us an audition? Example? Here,
what what's what? What's your.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Mister, mister Belichick, he's announced from Congress Senator Johnson, I
believe said that we're no longer gonna fund Ukraine in
their war against Russia. Uh, why would the why would
the president elect choose to align himself with Russia who
(32:57):
invaded Ukraine?
Speaker 10 (33:00):
Answer the question twice, I don't know who's who's not.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I could see him at the podium in that ripped
hoodie sweatshirt. All of these, all of these possibilities are
quite quite tantalizing. As hopefully, now, hopefully you guys can
continue the momentum here with our next item, what do
you have DIBs on? What New York Jets quarterback and
(33:26):
universally acknowledged weirdo Aaron Rodgers is doing five years from now?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
What do you have DIBs on?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I got DIBs on He's off the Grid.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Yeah, we'll be releasing shortly thereafter a Netflix documentary on
him being off the grid.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
I just want to be left alone on.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
The camera following me. Of course, I think he's doing.
I got DIBs on some kind of massive podcast in
kind of in line with Joe Rogan stuff. Maybe he's
colosing with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
That's a pretty good Actually, that's I could definitely see that.
That's a good one. When when Doug set off the grid,
I thought about, since Sam is a huge John krackhau Fan,
I am to be confused with other books the subject
of Into the Wild the guy that ended up in
led Alaska.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, did he die in a bear attack?
Speaker 10 (34:21):
No, he was. He died of starvation because he was
like eating these tubers that were like related to potatoes,
and they ended up like causing him to like lose weight,
and he became emaciated. Probably was eaten by a bear
shortly thereafter. Oh, I read that a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
But a name, a friend of my named Dale, by
the way, has he went bear hunting? I have bear
meat to cook at my house in my freezer.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Kid you not, I'm guessing four years from now? Is
it organic? Is organic?
Speaker 10 (34:55):
As it gets?
Speaker 9 (34:56):
I know?
Speaker 8 (34:58):
Okay, can you give us a field season? Can you
give us a field report on how it tastes after
you consume?
Speaker 10 (35:05):
Of course I have not yet.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I haven't tried it yet. I've heard that the fat
content is very high. Honestly, they were loading up for winter,
you know, right before they were right before.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
Where did this Yeah, thanks, I just assumed they bored
it to death by making them watch videotapes of the
Chicago Bears offense. Anyway, Oh where did this particular bear
meet its untimely demise?
Speaker 2 (35:37):
In the upper Peninsula of Michigan?
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Okay, fascinating.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
You know, we've gone into a lot of different Okay,
we don't. Did you miss the first two times?
Speaker 2 (35:49):
These are these are these are shotgun sound effects created
by my mouth. So that's the best.
Speaker 10 (35:55):
Like, I take it easy there. Dick Cheney right here did.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Not have a shotgun with that bear.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Dick Cheney and Bill Belichick kind of have a similar delivery,
kind of that was that.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
Was that was my Bill Clinton similar souls too, all right?
Speaker 8 (36:12):
That there finally worst ideas in sports right now?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
You got I got DIBs on the golden at bat.
Golden at bat dumb idea for sure, dumb. Just turn Sorry, Jason,
I knowed Jason's like, oh man, I was just if
Jason could hear, he would have heard the question and
he would have reacted quicker.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
You know the old Phraser's no such thing as a
stupid question, right, Yeah, sometimes there is. That's something that
should have been kept under wraps. You don't go public
with that because he I think, injured his reputation by
even mentioning that it's such a stupid idea.
Speaker 8 (36:53):
Well, it's better than it's better to workshop it and
realize how stupid it is than to actually announce it
and say that it's a dune deal.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Correct, that's what That's what he's saying. He's saying it
hurt his credibility to even say that they considered it.
Speaker 10 (37:06):
I got DIBs on the current twelve team college football
playoff bracket as it is now. I love an expanded playoff,
but we got about a minute left here, guys, which
parts of it are?
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (37:17):
Here's the tars I don't like. I don't like the
teams that get a buye or don't even get a
home game. I don't like the way that teams are
seated and ranked right now, with Boise Stay getting a bye.
It needs some tweaking. I don't like it in its
current form.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Fair I'm going to go with unrivaled. Uh, there's a
league with women basketball players that's going to.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
Start up Pere pretty I got three on three league, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Three on three league unrivaled. I think this should change
it to rival because a lot of people don't want
to do it, and I'd throw in the NBA Cup.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I think the NBA BA Cup was a good idea.
I just think nobody cares. But the idea is not
the worst. It doesn't rival the unrivaled, it doesn't rival
the other. I think college ball playoff is also bad planning.
I will point out when I'm wrong, and I will
point out when I'm right two times next to the
