Alright, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in the
Bonus with Doug gottlie.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What Up Doug Gottlieb Show in the Bonus Fox Sports Radio,
I Heart Radio app Welcome in.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Okay, So right before our show.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And recording of this podcast, Bruce Pearl's going to retire
at Auburn and his son Steven is going to take
over for him. And this, by the way, had been
the plan, my guess, is the reason that coaches Dean
(00:40):
Smith retired, gave it to his assistant right before the season,
Roy Williams retired. He made sure that I can't remember
Roy retired right before the season. If you guys could
google that one, look it up. But he made sure
that Hubert Davis got the job where it was an
April okay, so it was after.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But he wasn't retired.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You know what guys will do is they're like, hey,
I want you to name him the next head coach,
like I don't know coach, like okay, and so then
they go to like October in this case, end of September,
and then they retire. There's nothing you can do right
if you if you retire, and then these guys take
over now. Technically, I believe because the portal, those guys
could all leave, although I don't think they will write
(01:26):
hiring Stephen Pearl. I'm sure the checks still clear. And
there's a bunch of questions you have with Is this
new pay era the reason Bruce Pearl's getting out of it, right?
I don't think so. I don't think so. I think
the job can be exhausting. I'm not exhausted by it
(01:47):
because I've only been doing it for a year and
a couple months. But if you've been doing it your
entire adult life, then you're like yeah. And Pearl obviously
has he has the desires to run for what Congress, senator.
I don't know if he wants to run for governor,
but he has political as Bruce has real political aspirations,
(02:09):
and he feels like Alabama's a place he can run
and he can win. The tie to me is Bruce
and Steven are close personal friends of mine. Stephen played
AAU basketball for my dad. Bruce was the head coach
at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. That's where I was born.
My dad was the coach there. When he got the job,
he reached out to my dad He's always been great
with me. I mean, see, the only thing I could
(02:30):
tell you is, like, guys, got everything you want. He
went to I think it's brilliant. You know, he went
to two final fours at Auburn. Could have won both
of them, didn't you know, lost in the lost on
a crazy comeback and run of Florida in the second
half last year, lost on a crazy call to Virginia
back when it was in Minneapolis, And like what the
(02:52):
only thing left to accomplish is to win a national
championship and that's so incredibly hard, and then you got
to do it like every year and with players. I
don't know, I kind of get it. I do, I understand.
I don't think it's just this era in college basketball.
I think a lot of eras in college basketball. And Auburn,
though he's made them into a powerhouse, traditionally they were not.
(03:16):
And they've been so consistent in their success under him.
And look, he was successful at Tennessee, he was successful
with Milwaukee, was successful Southern Indiana when they won a
D two national championship. He's been successful everywhere he's been.
But it's I mean, that's a Bruce Pearl should be
in the Hall of Fame and someday he will. And
(03:36):
our good friend the Groupers, I'm sure celebrating.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
They don't have to.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, they'll go down to They'll still go down to
Auburn because this support Stephen. But you know, Bruce was
always their guy. And it's gonna be really interesting to
see what happens to Auburn, what happens to Steven. Can
they win enough games where he gets a long term
contract extension? And what this signifies is one he wants
to run for his political aspirations and two, Auburn wasn't
(03:59):
gonnae of Stephen the job, So this is how they got.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Stephen the job.

Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Let's get to the Fox Says and Now what FO
say every day, this time the Doug Gottlieb Show. In
the Bonus Podcast, play for your previous portion of The
DG Show or some other show on Fox Sports Radio
Fox Sports One. Here's Dan Patrick talk about the end
of the Eagles Rams.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Game, maybe one of the worst beats ever in the
history of the NFL with the Eagles coming back to
cover against the Rams. It's one of those where and
having been a former gambler, I've already chalked that up.
Now I want to see if I could get some
action on the four thirty five game. I already know
I'm winning this one. Now, all of a sudden, I'm going,
(04:48):
you know what, maybe I'll put Nickel on this. Yeah,
I got some money to play with her. Maybe I
put a dime on this. And then all of a sudden,
the only way you can lose is if they block
the kick and they run it back for a down,
which is exactly what they did. That's one of the
worst beats in the history of beats. And it's a
three hundred pound lineman who's going to score the touchdown? There? Wow?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Who doesn't love a fat guy touchdown? I know who doesn't,
Jay Stu, because Jay Stu on our group on our
group chat, Cowherd had basically the same tweet. And you
know you didn't like Cowherd's tweet, which was really what
Dan said, because Coward's like, this is my lock of
(05:34):
the year maybe and it's ruined on a kick who
could have seen it coming, and you crushed cowhard.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now Dan says the same thing. What do you have
to say.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I've crushed cowhard, because in fact, I don't even crush it.
He's become the litmus test for me to bet the
other way, Like when he's the more confidence he confident
he is in a pick, the more likely it is
to go the other way. Uh. The first week, he
did not see how the Eagles weren't blowing out the Cowboys,
so that was a cover for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I would I'll be honest with you, I thought the.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Same, Yeah, but I don't think you say it with
such conviction and authority that he does. And then last
week the Bills, no way, they weren't going to run
over to the Dolphins on Thursday night, So I took
the Dolphins in the points. It just seems to go
this way, which is great. So it's less crushing him
than just pointing out that of all the talk show hosts,
(06:30):
and I know all you guys are compelled by lawn
Now to do picks, to become these gambling guys, but
everyone is full of shit. Everybody's full of shit. That's
what I want the listeners to take.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You know, you know what, I got eighty percent hit rate.
Eighty percent hit rate, Jason, if you just call my
eight hundred number. Okay, I got an eighty percent hit rate.
Sunday Morning Sports Radio is awesome, isn't It.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Is the best call?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Car now, hey, yay, listen.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
If you want my money hotline, if you want my
Monday Night Special. Okay, you want my Money Night Special
Detroit and Baltimore. Okay, you just got a call right now,
I'll give it out free. I'm at ninety two percent
on Monday Night Football. I didn't say what I'm at ninety,
but I'm at ninety two percent Monday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Here's Brady Quinn talking about Jordan Love.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
If you're wondering, if you're a Packers fan, like how
this happened. I mean, one we talked about that. The
defense the Browns, I mean Miles Garrett's I think he's
the best defensive player in the league. I mean they
had three guys on him at one point. But like
I look back at that game, Love throws the backed
up interception that kind of puts them. I believe I
(07:49):
think I touched that off that then andsuing drive and
what happened. But there's just times where if there's one
thing that might hold back Green Bay, it's like those
situations and going back to his time in college and
then back to what I've seen from so far in
the NFL is he's usually a pretty good decision maker,
but from time to time he'll make a throw. He'll
(08:12):
make a decision where like, oh and just brace your back.
It might come down to like a playoff game, NFC
championship and just a force throw. That's a bad decision,
bad spot. That might be one of the only things
holding back the Screen Bay team. I think they're that good.
As far as the chance to win a Super Bowl
this year.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, I mean I think I think it's a reasonable thing.
I remember, he hadn't thrown an interception in how many games,
you know, so it's like we're sitting there and last
year he had this problem, but second half of the
season he did not. He eliminated a lot of it.
And you know, yesterday was bad. He was also under duress.
You know, his two linemen that came back from injury
(08:56):
both left the game not and didn't play in the
second half, and Miles Garrett just lived in the backfield,
So that makes guys make bad decisions. Shouldn't have been
throwing the balls third and three, run the football. If
you don't get it, punt the ball. Let your defense
win the game for you especially. I mean, that's that's
why you have mikeah Parsons. Right, team has to throw
late in the game. You got the best pass rusher
in football, he gets after it. So there's a series
(09:20):
of mistakes. Brady's not wrong, But Brady is also really
kind of judging Jordan Love by this last game in
the first half of last year, which is fair and again,
as a former quarterback, they're usually not critical of other
former quarterbacks. But obviously Jordan Love just can't make those mistakes.
But like, look, Josh Allen made those mistakes for a
(09:40):
long time. Yeah, Josh Allen made those mistakes for a
long time, even going to last year. Remember that it
was that the Jets game they nearly lost to the
start of the year. Right, we're he's forcing things so
that nobody's perfect. It's a terrible loss for the Packers,
and he's he's right, but he hasn't been right in
terms of percentage of time in you know, in I
(10:03):
don't know, almost a year here's Colin Cowherd talking about
one of his favorites, Kayleb Williams.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Ben Johnson the coach and Caleb Williams the quarterback, had
some real harmony. They finally found a rhythm. We've been
waiting for that. Eight different players saw the ball, the screen,
game was working, creativity, structure, it was rhythm. And that's
what I said. I don't need to win progress advancements.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Okay, so that's today, This was six days ago, same host.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Maybe there's a coach it works with. I don't think
it's Ben Johnson. There are two or three things you
have to do in this league. You have to be
consistently accurate. You just have to be again, Jared Goff
can't run. He's consistently accurate. Caleb's not. And you have
to be an anticipation thrower. You have to see stuff
before it's wide open, and he doesn't. It also helps
(11:05):
if you have a composure. I don't think he does.
The coach wants this and this player is capable of
doing this, and it doesn't mesh. But this is a marriage.
They don't compliment each other.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Oh, how the times can change.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yes, that's the stuff that you don't like Jase do
right if you listen multiple days, like, wait, didn't you
say the opposite five six days ago? That's the beauty
to Colin, man to be to Colin, just keep plowing through,
keep plowing through. Calebly is a hard one, you know.
I think I think some of this we all know
(11:43):
how ingrained and meshed Colin is in usc football from
his time living in Los Angeles, Like he really really
good to practices, he taught to coaches. You know, he
lived in he lived in an area where they all
lived as well, so established relationships. So I think, you know,
Caleb was a guy who kind of the football world
by storm when he first got to LA coming from Oklahoma,
(12:04):
and you know, he gravitated towards him, and the kid's
really talented, and you know, you become kind of a
fan of a guy that you know and you want
to come explain. And then when it goes badly, I
think sometimes the reaction is overly harsh. None of what
Colin said is inaccurate, right, Like, this is a hard
one to figure out. I just think making absolute statements
(12:26):
three weeks into his second season in the NFL is
a mistake three weeks into playing for a new head
coach who's never been a head coach is a mistake,
you know, like, let it play out and we'll we'll
figure it out. And the perfect example is, you know,
two weeks ago, you're like, this ain't gonna work. Last
week you're like, you know, I did my work.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The key component in Caleb William's success last week is
that remember the week before that same defense, the Cowboys
made Russell Wilson look like vintage Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So we'll know more on Caleb as it goes.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I just I just think it's too early to put
together absolutes. That's what the Fox Says say.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Let's find out who what's annoying? Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And now it's your annoying.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
So you just said something, Doug, that's very important. How
about we all refrain from making declord of statements.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Declardy that's a better word than I used.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
After after each week making declord of statements, because everyone
ends up looking like a fool. I will give you
a fool. On the Packers offensive lineman Rashid Walker said
this last week.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
That's why we well now and then the goal is,
you know, keep it going.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I think even going defeated.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Honestly, now, in this post truth world, I understand this
that like we start to hear things all every day
that are either exaggerations or all outlies, and we go
about our day, you know, we just we just go
about our day. And Rushied Walker thinks he can go
un defeated hardly a blip on the radar last week,
(14:23):
hardly a blip, but after two games you had a
Packer saying that they think they can go undefeated. Micah
Parsons was asked about that after the loss yesterday.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
This is the character building. This is the adversity. We adversity.
We back up an end zone, we gave up three,
but penalty, penalty, penalty. This is all part of adversity.
Undefeated seasons, like they're hard in the NFL, its be
bro and sometimes just like today, that's just the reality
of it, Like it happens to the best teams like
(14:54):
this as hard as hell to win football games.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
So for all those reasons. We ship the bed today.
That's what happens to good teams. Sometimes you shit the bed,
and these are adversity for all those reasons, those are
the reasons you don't make a statement like I think
we can go undefeated.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It's one of those why why why why? It's not
why they lost the game, but what's the winning saying that?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's crazy? What else?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
I hate prediction radio for many of the same reasons
we've wind out in the last five minutes of this podcast.
The NFL is impossible to predict and certainly impossible to
predict point spreads. There's only one reason or time when
I love predictions. And if Sam could pull up his
(15:46):
like harps, flashback harps, I like that when when we
do that in radio. This happened during our show on Friday. Now,
let me set this up. Doug was off on Friday.
Dan Bayer was filling in with Kerry Odes, and Dan
went around the horn and he's like, upset specials. Who's
who's got their upsets? What are your upsets?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
And he got around to me, there are some home
teams getting a lot of points this weekend, So I'm
gonna go with Cleveland getting it looks like eight or
eight and a half if you're lucky Cleveland to beat
the Packers at home with eight and a half points.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Wait a minute, outright or just to cover that's a
great question.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I guess I misread the question. I'm gonna go with
the Brown's outright.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So everybody hats prediction radio until they get a prediction right, and.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I want to I want everyone to use this as
an exercise too. Did you hear how oblivious I was there,
like they're gonna win it with eight and a half points?
Like I know nothing about this. I don't claim to
know anything about it. I'm not sure as how. I'm
not going to open the microphone and tell you what
the bet. But I still won the bet, so I'm
gonna take credit for it, even though I'm very oblivious
(17:02):
to what I'm doing. No decorative statements though for me.
But I hate prediction radio. I love it when I
get it right. And then finally, Bill Belichick's girlfriend. I
keep hearing her referred to as Jordawn. Is that is
Jordaan her actual namer or people making fun of her
(17:24):
by calling her Jordaan because.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's I think.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
It's spelled Jordawn. Yeah. I think it's just because it's
spelled that way, we like to say. Okay. So Jordan
went up to him during the game or right before
the game again she had another another beat down of
U S or U n C. Yeah, she had a
mini skirt on with these these high boots and she
went up to him on the sidewines and was in
his ear. My favorite tweet, and I wish I had
(17:51):
his UH account because I'd give him credit. Was the
last time she did this? The tweet said in quotes,
could I have some money for then? Session stand? Which
is a great one now in southern California, we used
to call it the snackshack, you know, because it kind
of rhymes. So I just converted the joke to do
you have a couple of bucks with the snackshack? That
(18:13):
was a great one. But yesterday or Saturday, she did
it again and they lost. There's just something unseemly about
watching an old man be manipulated. Spend some time with
my seventy five year old father over the weekend in
New York, and I in those in those moments, I
started feeling bad for Bill Belichick. There is a manipulator
(18:37):
in his midst I think his family has trying toward us.
His family's concerned. But just watching those.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Visuals, it's like it's like a bad movie.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I hate it's it's.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Like a bad movie. Right, it's like now, and it's
so over the top. Every part of it's over the top. Right,
It's not just that she's she twenty four to twenty five. Now,
she has to have had a birthday at some point, right,
I mean, all we gotta do is go track the
(19:10):
chucky cheese is for when she Sorry, that's terrible anyway,
but say she's twenty five years old, Like it's one
thing to be twenty five. Some twenty five year old
women who date older guys they like absorb the age
stuff right where. And she's I don't even think the
tall boots are in anymore, Like I don't. It's not
(19:32):
like she's a style maven. So maybe she dresses like
her mid thirties, but but she definitely is acting young ish.
And the fact that she thrusts herself in front of
him when they're on the field getting ready to play
a game, it's just it's so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing,
and it's so obvious. And she may be she may
(19:54):
honestly be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
She may be wonderful, thoughtful, takes care of him, you know,
as the age is gonna give him his pills. You know,
she may be all those great things. But the optics
and the way it feels is just it. I don't know,
it's like who it's It's the when you have watched
really bad movies and the punchlines, the.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Everything about it is so obvious. That's what this is.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It's not like she's forty four. She's twenty four, twenty five.
You know, it's not like she's kind of engaged. She's
like on the field before the games. And it's not
like he's ever been like a hip coach that you
would think this is the kind of this is how
he would carry himself. So the whole thing is just
(20:45):
painfully obvious. It feels like that her intentions have nothing
to do with his success.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
And by the way, she's about twenty four and a half.
She turns twenty five in March.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
He is let's go said, she's gonna have she's young.
She had a half birthday party right, we always had
those weird kids.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Oh yeah, so you got the Jordaan situation. You got
me winning a prediction and uh the undefeated talk.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I like you winning a prediction.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
It's just something that you hate and you talk about
all football season that you hate, and then you go
and do it, and you do it well, and then
you take a little credit for it as a NYE.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Taking it one day.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Why are we doing this?
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I do.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Because we can.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
This is a real special one, Doug. This is Mike
one of my favorite ones that we've done all quite
some time. And you're gonna say to yourself, what is
hip hop artist Carti B doing on a sports podcast?
And I will just say this. Cardi B is having
a child with Stefan Diggs, so everything she does moving
(21:58):
forward can be putting a sports podcast without any apology.
And also, Stefan Diggs impregnated somebody within the last year.
He's currently in a paternity suit with another woman for
being the father of his child. Cardi B is very
(22:20):
pregnant with Stefan Diggs's child, So you would think that
that would create some kind of drama or whatever, but
according to Carti B, We're gonna handle.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
This Hello, Barbara, This is Shirley. Yeah, busy girl. Well
what now, I'll buck it up. We'll figure it out, beach.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Just to translate for those that don't speak Cardi B.
She says, that's your baby daddy, bitch, And that's my
baby daddy too. What now, don't fucking know. We'll figure
it out, bitch. I would just say that, as one
(23:09):
of the great American orders, it's great to see Cardi
B bring some stability to what a seeming awkward situation.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Doug, Yeah, yeah, I think we're all we're all good now.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
We all understand that they have a they got their
own dynamic family unit, and they're going to make it work.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That's why can we play it for you? Because we can't.
That's it for the in the Motus podcast Yet the
radio show three to five Eastern tell to specific Fox
