Jason Smith explains the John Harbaugh Dark Side: Pete Carroll was supposed to succeed but didn't get the buy-in with the Raiders. Harbaughs in the same situation - what if he doesn't get the buy-in? In New York? Whoooo look out. Plus, Oregon QB Donte Moore is going back school to avoid getting drafted by the Jets!

can't say anything. No, what team did John Harbaugh just
get fired by? Who is John Harbaugh? Well, if you
want to know about the football team? Yeah, it was
(02:39):
the Bird, the bird. It was the bird. It was Okay,
And and give me one other person, a football personality
named Harbaugh besides John. Joe, Yes, Joe Harbaugh. I know
he's coached the Titans for the last few year. I
don't know that Joe Harbor, remember though, Yeah?

(03:35):

John Harbaugh's move to the Giant. Yes, very good, very good,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Uh, you know later on this week we have to
talk about your Super Bowl picks.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh, by the way, pretty accurate. Well, it depends well,
I mean, he's no less accurate than a lot of
Uh okay, we'll get into hold on fair play.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
What you wrote. You told me, I said, who's your
super Bowl pick? I said, I said NFC. You said Bills. Yes,
I said AFC. You said Eagles. I said, give me
a bold prediction. It was Rogers takes the Steelers to
the superp He could still take them. They're not in anymore,
that is true. He could fly them all there trip,
he could fly them all there. Yeah, I know that
(04:17):
that could happen. That could happen. All right, very good,
all right. I didn't think about that. I can think
about that part of it. You're right, you're playing chess. Well,
I'm playing checkers. No, you're right, you're right. But uh,
deeper learning a phrase I didn't think i'd say. Alex
Tye shirt brought you that big breaking news. John Harbaugh
to the Giants. Adam Schefter reporting this about an hour ago.
(04:39):
There were still some teas to cross and eyes to
be dotted, but the expectation was they would reach agreement.
They were working on a long term deal.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Schefter put out a subsequent tweet about a half hour
ago saying, now John Harbaugh, after being in the NFC
East earlier in his career, returns as head coach of
the Giants, which tells me that it's done and the
Giants just want to announce it without Chefter saying the
deal is done. He's a giant Chefter saying hey, now
you know, hey, you know Now John Harbaugh returns the
(05:08):
NFC East where he was previously. Now he's the head
coach of the Giants. This is him saying it's done. Right,
He's appeared on ESPN talking about it. So John Harbaugh
of the Giants. Right, We've talked a lot in the
last hour about the Fits and the Giants getting Harbaugh
because they have the best opening, right of all the openings.
The Steelers are a good opening mainly because you'll get
(05:30):
the time to coach there. Right, You will get time
to succeed. It may not be the best opening because
you have a lot of work that's got to be
done to that question, but you will get time. So
for security wise, they're not going to fire you after
a couple of years, which, oh, by the way, if
you get fired for two years of the Steelers, man, wow,
you should just not coaching.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, you broke with tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, right right, I set them and nobody ever did
what I did with the Steelers. Yeah, but I wouldn't
talk about that. Uh So, the Giants have the best opening.
We've talked about, the young talent they have, and you
just go Dart Scataboo, Tracy Neighbors, Wandale Robinson, Theo Johnson
defensive line. They keep reloading on. This is the opening.
(06:10):
This you aren't neares. No one set up to succeed
better than Harball with the Giants. Harbaugh comes in with
because you know there's a butt coming. Harbaugh comes in
with the right attitude to get the most out of
Jackson Dart when it comes to Hey, play a little
bit smarter. I'm gonna kind of you know, I'm gonna
kind of sand down the rough edges, which is what
Harbaugh does well. Andy Reid does that really well. This
(06:33):
is not a program builder from the bottom up. This
is Hey managing superstars as time goes on, being able
to adjust from season to season, I'm gonna iron out.
You know, I'm gonna bang out the dents on you here.
And number one thing, I know he's gonna take care
with Jackson Dart is playing smarter, staying on the field,
gotta run around to stay around. All of this, I
believe all of this. I believe Harbaugh right call, right opening.
(06:56):
Giants fans are excited. Here comes your butt. Okay, here
comes your button. At this time last year, it was
exciting to see Pete Carroll come back into the NFL
head coach of the Raiders. Why the Raiders need an
adult in the room. His track record in Seattle was immaculate.
He just ran out of touch, kind of like the
(07:18):
same thing with Harball in Baltimore and Tomlin in pittsburghen which, Hey,
his run came to its natural conclusion. Right was still
somewhat winning. Made it work with Geno Smith. Right was
all of a sudden he became a bad coach. But okay, yeah,
we want new things and you can't argue with it
now because here's Mike McDonald has them as the number
one seed in the NFC two years later, So yeah,
(07:39):
they made the right call. This time last year, Carol
coming into the Raiders. Hey, him coming in, Brady coming in,
You bring it in your quarterback? Who is league averagesh enough? Hey,
the basic losing for the Raiders has stopped. The backsliding
has stopped. This is the adult in the room, the
CEO that's going to help lift the Raiders up. And
(08:02):
what happened over the course of the season, there was
no buy in to the And Pete Carroll's only out
of the game for a year, right, It's not like
Carrol sat like he was Joe Gibbs sitting for a
long time or John Gruden who sat for a long time.
He's only out for a year, and then he comes
back in and what happens. It's a disaster and it's
it's punctuated with Hey, Max Crosby is not going to
(08:22):
play the rest of the rest of the season. So
we told him to go home, slash. He left to
go home. He walked out on the team. We told
him to leave the team. It was a disaster. Now,
doesn't mean that Pete Carroll all of a sudden turned
into a bad head coach, right, because you look at
what Pete Carroll accomplished at USC and what he did
for his entire time at Seattle. I mean the guys,
(08:43):
you know, tremendous, the guys could wind up being a
Hall of Fame head coach at some point. Right for
what he for what he's done throughout his career, But
he didn't get the buy in and he was done
in a year and John Harbaugh same place for nineteen years. Right,
maybe he lost a little bit of the buy in
at the end in Baltimore. I'm not fully ready to
believe that everybody turned the page on him, but maybe
(09:05):
they were ready.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
For a new voice.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
And so maybe he did lose a little not quite
losing the locker room, but maybe he lostes, his words,
lost impact, which happens.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But it comes down to this. You only have so
many of those guys that are mainstays and whose voice
really matters. So Lamar Jackson not endorsing him means you
lost Lamar Jackson. Right, guess what that means? You lost
the locker right? Right? But did he really did? He
lose him to the point where I didn't want to
play anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And Lamar Jackson wasn't giving us all because clearly he
didn't look like the same guy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Or it's Lamar Jackson like.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, me and John Me and John Harbor have been good,
but maybe it's time for something else.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You know that. I think it's more of the latter.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But yeah, here's John Harbaugh coming in, and we talked
about the unrealistic expectations the Giants fans are gonna have.
It's gonna be we should win the NFC East next
year with all this talent coming in. There is a
dark side to coming in with all expectations to succeed
and being put in position if you don't succeed, how
long is it gonna be? Now, Harbo's getting a big contract,
(10:05):
right heard maybe once you get twenty million dollars a year,
but how long does he have if things don't go well?
If things don't go well early after six weeks, is
it gonna be? Hey, trust in John Harbaugh? Or is
it gonna be?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
How are we? How are we letting all this talent
fritter away? Right?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
So, you didn't think there's any way that was gonna
happen with Pete Carroll, even though you didn't think the
Raiders were gonna suddenly go crazy and win the division.
But you thought, okay, they've hit rock bottom for where
they're at. They're gonna go back up there because you
brought in the right guy, right, You brought in that
CEO ed coach with a great resume. You would think
that Pete Carroll's gonna succeed to some extent, and in fact,
now he didn't and he's out in a year. John
(10:44):
Harbaugh same type of situation. Is he gonna get the
buy in? Is he gonna Are the Giants players gonna
talk to players from the Ravens, They're gonna go, Yeah,
this is the deal with coach the last season or so,
last season or two, and if it doesn't start out well,
how is the rest of that gonna go? How patient
are the Giants gonna be with Harbor? Because before you
can tell me it's not gonna happen, I'll point to
some recent episodes where it's happened. It's happened. And just
(11:07):
look at last year with Pete Carroll, who, oh, by
the way, had a little bit better success than Harbaugh
did over the course of his career, was still a
great head coach, and it happened to him.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, it's gonna be curious to watch how Harvard rounds
out his staff. But to take the Raiders on for
just a second, right you talked about the Max Crosby
end of season, they fire chip Kelly and send him packing.
Jacoby Myers more or less had a sign instead of
kick me, it said trade me. Before he finally got
out to Jacksonville. Gino Smith was a turnover machine. The
(11:38):
offensive line stunk Ashton gent. He finished with a pretty
nice year, about fourteen hundred total yards or thereabout, but
wasn't really a threat early on, again owing a little
to the offensive line and truncated possessions by the turnover
machine that was Gino Smith. But the Chip Kelly part
of it, and any stories that start flowing out of
(12:00):
that now that the season's long gone, will be very
interesting to see. But Pete Carroll, clearly the control wasn't
there for the Giants. You come into a situation. You
got the AFC South on your schedule, the NFC West
obviously all your division games, and then Cleveland New Orleans
and Detroit New Orleans acquitted themselves quite nicely. I don't
(12:22):
think anybody expected the type of season they got from
Tyler Shucking Company, as they were viable. Cleveland new coach,
who's the quarterback it's some amalgam of sdor Sanders and
because he's still under contractor they have to roll Dejean Watson.
We have choice contract, right, They got rid of Morton,
(12:42):
they're oc They're in another trying to stop a backslide
with Dan Campbell. We'll see if he comes up with
another great speech as they rebound. But for the Giants,
you look in division. Washington's got a bunch of issues.
They have to remedy. Dallas. We always know they're gonna
be a circus. They got to figure out are they
(13:03):
gonna pay George Pickens well or will Jerry somehow come
to a problem there. Defensively, they've got a lot of
rebuilding to do.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And he cause the Packers, hey, I'll trade you the
Pickens kid for for Parsons.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Let's get that. I gotta get him back. So what
if we did that trade? He misses him so much.
And then the Eagles, we've chronicled all of their missteps,
but they're still roster wise. Defensively they're fantastic, and offensively
they've they've gotten rid of their coordinator. We had the
seven second exchange between Jalen Hurts and Sirianni everything'll be right,
(13:38):
won't it, won't it? But yeah, the Giant's looking for stability,
looking for that guy to get them back to the
good graces where they were one of the hallowed yeah
marks in the NFL, right the legacy, the history, and
John Harbaugh now gets to try to rebuild that.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
But just think that dark side is there for Harball
for a lot of different reasons, and one I haven't
even gotten into yet, which we'll get into in a
few minutes. One thing, it's like, oh wait a minute, Yeah, forgot.
That's part of it too with Harbaugh taking Is it.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Because they share the facility with the Jets or some
of the Jets will rub off on him.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't want the Jets near the We're gonna draw
the line down the middle of field. The Jets don't
go past this parting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He goes in and paints the Jets locker room like
the Hawkeyes used to.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Now there's another big thing for Harbaugh taking this gig
with the Giants, which we'll get two plus maybe now
it's a one quarterback draft in the NFL. After big
news today, that's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We just had a very spirited off
air discussion about one battle after another.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Nah hot take. Leo's character was the worst part of
the movie.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Really yeah, worst part of the movie. Absolute hundred percent
worst part of the movie. Very inconsistent.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
See I want to buddy comedy with him in Benicio
del Toro. Though, we gonna have that, get that sure.
Some things that got cut and maybe I would have
liked the movie more if.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
They were in He's a Benizio La Tour's guy. Feel
bad for because Sean Penn's gonna run away with Best
Supporting Actor. The only thing is if Sean Penn gets
nominated for Best Actor because he was kind of the
co lead with Leo del Toro, will win for Best
Supporting Actor, because I feel like he was so good
and it's like, yeah, but Sean Penn is you know,
I mean, he's much, you know, a much bigger role.
(16:09):
It was fantastic top to Bob.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
But it's really coming into a thread with me and
I have to revisit, maybe take a long walk on
the beach about my movie watching and how I feel
about films is or maybe it's just that it's been
hyped to the point before I saw it that I
go in with higher expectations. I loved all the individual
performances like you cite them all. I don't really think
(16:32):
the movie didn't move me, Like I didn't come away
and go, wow, what a great two hours plus of
my time.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well wait, mister hond if it's your time and it's
my time, isn't it art.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was like Sean Penn okay, good, hateable Del Toro,
some comic relief, and some big moments, right Tianna Taylor
to get things started, like and and I forget the
actress's name that that played the younger actress, the daughter.
She was fantastic, But like the movie itself, I just
kind of finish it when and I started watching an
(17:06):
old Simpsons episode Simpson, eh ye go into that. So uh,
that's the big off air conversation. The on air conversation,
of course, surrounds John Harbaught of the Giants. They'll be
finalizing a deal. He is ready to accept the Giants
head coaching job and they will hire him as soon
as possible. This reported by Adam Schefter. I will have
(17:26):
more on this story coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But the other big news today in football, Dante Moore
is headed back.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
To school. Back to school. He's going back to.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oregon for one more year, not headed to the NFL Draft.
And before we get into what a bad decision this is,
let me just say I don't care that the Jets
aren't getting him at two because I was I've told
you I was never sold on I'm not really sold
in any of the quarterbacks. I wasn't sold on him,
not a lot of starts, all of the litany of
(17:58):
reasons why to be afraid of Dante Moore. I was
never sold on him. So it's not like I'm bitter that,
oh he told the Jets to stick it and beat it. No,
I was never I would And granted if they draft him,
it would have been wrong if they let him go
by and drafted somebody else, that would have been wrong
with well, you just do a quarterback is wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I get it. You just know in the boomerang, he's
gonna be there for you when you draft at the
top of the board in twenty seven anyway, arch Manning,
arch Manning will be there arch Art. Well what if
you finished second again? What if you can't even take
right back to school? Back to school?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So you know, I I don't really care that they
missed out on him because I'm not sold on him
as a as a great quarterback. And the fact that
he says he's got to go back to school, okay,
so maybe he's not convinced. So I really I'm being honest.
I swear I don't care that they do that they're
not getting you have to be honest. Though I'm being honest,
I don't care. Listen, they're gonna get Mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't say you have to be honest.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I know Mac Jones, the Jets quarter back on that. Yeah,
I'm honest.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I don't I was never It's not like Arch Manning
was there. We're missing him with somebody else is gonna
be great, Like I really, I don't care that we're
Dante Moore made a horrible decision for his life.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
But but I don't know who was talking to or
helped it out.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
But I mean we're the smart no no, dude, Jets,
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
And hey, do we get anything?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Do we know the Jets we're gonna take him at
two or they weren't going to trade out of it.
Someone was gonna trade up because I know they were
sold on for Nando Mendoza. They sent guys every week
to see him. It was like it was like a
cavalcade of stars, a Jets set, like eight scouts. They
love Fernando Mendoza. But clearly after the semi final game,
we know Mendoza is going number one to the Raiders.
(19:36):
So okay, but I'm not upset that Dante Morris staying
in school. From the Jets perspective, again, we're gonna get
mac Jones. The forty nine ers are gonna say, hey,
we can turn him around for a high return because
the quarterback crop and free agency in the draft is low.
We'll get a fourth, maybe a third. They'll do him
a solid and not keep him from getting a starting
job because teams don't really do that to other guys
in the NFL. And plus they want to get out
(19:58):
from any sort of Brock Perdy mac Jones controversy that
could crop up next year if Perdy gets hurt again
and mac Jones comes in and plays well. So I
have no dubt. Mac Jones wants to come back to
the NFC East and stick it to the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
So, I know we're getting mac Jones, but I'm not
upset that we're not getting Dante more because I'm not
wasn't sold on him, And but the biggest part of
this is that he made a really bad decision. Whether
it well, I don't and again I don't know who
is advising him, who is talking to him, But any
decision you make there is a risk, like he I
(20:31):
don't know if he thought I got rid of all
the risk by going back to school. But there's a risk.
There's a risk that you're not gonna have a great
year next year and you're not gonna go as high,
You're not gonna get as much money. There's a risk
you could get hurt and instead of being a first
round pick, you're a second round pick. There's a risk.
There's a risk going to the NFL. There's a risk
playing for the Jets. Right, there's risks. There's risks, but
(20:54):
I will I'll tell you exactly now why it's the
bad decision was the one that was made, Okay, And
I'll use I'll use a different example from football, because
this is where anybody when you hear that you're gonna
go oh yeah, I would absolutely have chosen to go
one to the NFL. That absolute would have chosen to
go on in the NFL. Right, let's just say for
a second, Mike Harmon, you run a coffee shop. You
(21:19):
run a coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right? You run my own product?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You you you you create get high on my own
to be problematic. You you run your own coffee shop, right,
don't cost a coffee's off? Nineteen percent, dude, coffee is expensive, man. Yeah,
if you can get If you can get a coffee
for less than six fifty, you're doing pretty well.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, that's why I don't go off for cof But
I but if I could run this shop and be
the guy getting six fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You run, You run a car, You manage and coffee shop.
You do so many great things like, wow, hey, this
this coffee shops doing really well. You don't have a contract.
That's a good thing for you because now that you
you're on the map of being a great coffee shop
creator and manager. All right, so people want you. Now
this coffee shop that you are managing. Right now, let's
say it's Pete's. Okay, let's say it's Pete's Coffee. You're
(22:01):
working at Pete Mike. Yeah, but you're Mike. But why
don't you just go by Mike. Your name is Mike Pete, Right,
you're Pete's Coffee. Say you're Seattle's Best. Right, you're working
Seattle's bet whatever you want to say.

Make sure.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Hey, but you know what you know because the coffee
shop is profitable, it's making money. Everything is great. Right,
you get eight and a half million dollars coming back
next year. Now, the thing is, no matter what, you
have to leave that coffee shop in a year because
the coffee shop is being sold and they're bringing in.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
All the people.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Right, just saying you can't be there more than a year. Right,
But you like working there, You like the people you're
working with, You like you know, you like.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I've got my regulars. Yeah, you like your a smiley
face on your baristas are all good. It's like cocktail
for making coffee.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
You know. Me.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I love my local indie pend in shops, no question about.
You got the hippie hippie show. You.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You are like Tom Cruise and Brian Brown before he
was in FX Young Flanagan. So you have that. But
there's another coffee shop. Let's call it coffee Bean, and
Coffee Bean is where everybody wants to go. Like, hey,
no matter if you work at Seattle's Best or Pete's.
You're at a local cash aspiring to you're a three.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Everybody wants so when I draw my picture of Caleb
Williams in the foam, I'm aspiring that that's going to
propel me to greatness. Col fingernails, how.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Did you draw him throwing an interception in the film?
I like how it moves that way.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, it was a lot of chuckling until he threw
that final touchdown pass. Now, what what color you want
the fingernails? Frostbury, We do it, he said, he was
drawing a painting. Yes, what color you want him? Could
be anything you want? What the artist it's like a
coat of many colors. At the holidays, they'll be red
and green right in a sweater on him. Of course.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That's very inceptionisque very good. So Coffee Bean calls and says, hey, hey,
we're interesting. You're like, wow, Hey, everybody wants to get
to Coffee Bean. Everybody does you want to get there?
You're like okay, And you find out from Coffee they go,
we love what you've done here at Seattle's Best, right.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
We love we do.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
We want you to come here and do it for us,
and we're gonna give you a four year contract worth
fifty million dollars guaranteed to come here and run our
our or our our store here.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We got big stores everywhere, right called. We got a
big store in New York. We got a big store
in Vegas. We got a big store in Arizona. We
got a store in Tennessee. We got stores everywhere. Right,
We're a store in Cleveland, we got but the New
York store is where we kind of want you to go. Right,
That's kind of what we're thinking. It's a big deal market.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You're the number one guy making, you know, paintings of
John Harbaugh.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The pressure is on, and our New York store has
really been underachieving. But this is why we're paying you
this money. We feel you can succeed, and no matter what,
you're gonna to get every bit of this fifty million
dollars of it. No matter what, you could burn a
guy with coffee and throw it on his face, you're
still gonna get that fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Okay, you can.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Fire a barista because you accidentally stuck his hand in
the coffee grinder, and then he can suit, but you're
still gonna get that fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Wow, I mean he's gonna happen. He's gotta pay attention
to my safety protocol. This is what happens when you
make when you make a drink with too much foam
your right hand, Please, what are you gonna do? You
do your homework? Is your homework? Didn't do your pham
this presentation?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh you're sweat pouring off your head as you push
the guy's hand in the coffee ground.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So this is the situation you have right now. I'll
run a coffee house like it's the end of Fargo, exactly. Yeah,
I've listen to your crap all week. So these are
the two choices you have. All right, you go back
to just.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
For one year and Seattle's best for eight million and
a half million dollars. Not bad, But you could go
to coffee where you're gonna go anyway and get four
years and fifty million dollars guaranteed. Now you have questions,
and your question is, well, I don't know if I'm ready. Okay,
that's fair. I want to come there, and I definitely
want to go there after this year. There's no doubt
(26:10):
I am one hundred percent commuting. What if I go
there next year. What can you what can you offer me?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I don't know. I mean, you don't know. You're offering
me four years.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Fifty million dollars out. Yeah, but really need somebody to
run this store in New York. And I may find
somebody in the meantime, or we may find out of
the course of the next year there's other people running
other coffee shops that we like a little bit more.
Maybe they're doing something crazy. Maybe they got cardboard cutout
serving stuff. Maybe you got robots hanging out that are
making food for you and and warming up croissants and
(26:39):
bringing it to you on the street. We may find
somebody we like better. There will be a job for you.
We love you. There'll be a job for you, but
we don't know where it's gonna be. But what about
the money. This is the most you're gonna get even
next year.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
The only way you do is go down from here.
You don't make more than four years and fifty million
next year. Okay, so your decision. I'm gonna go back
and take the one year deal. Who does that. Nobody
does that. Nobody in the world does that. I don't
care if you're scared of the Jets. I don't care
if you're scared of where when the NFL calls you,
you go. You're the number two pick in the draft,
(27:14):
someone trading up to get you four years and fifty
million dollars, that's what it is. In no world is
one year, eight and a half million and a shoulder
shrug for the next few years better than that. And
I'm sorry if you feel you have to prove yourself. Yeah,
I want four years to suck and uh and then
still get all the by Well, no, you get the
NFL is a show me business, so you gotta go
(27:35):
in there and show and things might be bad with
the Jet I get it. The Jets aren't great at quarterbacks.
But when you get drafted number two overall, you have
a much better chance of getting a longer time to
succeed because the team has invested way more in you
than if they take you at eighteen or at the
end of the first round. Right, it's there, there's risk, Right,
Andrew Luck decided to roll the dice and come back
worked out for Matt Lionett rolled the dice, come back
(27:57):
did not work out for him. It's a risk. Everything
is a risk. So if everything's a risk. And I
have one scenario that's one year, an eight and a
half million, or four years and fifty million. How are
you not taking that? How are you not taking that?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, Liner's still finished as a top ten pick. I
mean you know you're not number one overall. No, no,
And like been trying to wrap my head around this
one all day because we broached this last week when
it became a big talking point of no go. And
you know, the second contracts, the important one is like, well,
don't you want to get to that second one faster?
(28:32):
And I get it to some degree from a where
he finished that game against Indiana. I mean it was
a disaster, right, and you got a bunch of low
lights play the Benny hill yackety sacks behind a couple
of those plays and whatever. But you want to get
more seasoning. We talk about starts. You bring up Mac
(28:53):
Jones and we go down the list of guys Brock
Purdy where more college starts help them along the process.
Because once upon a time Mac Jones was the guy
in New England and he played pretty well until Bill
Belichick decided to put a defensive coordinate as ze like heavy.
They sabotaged that poor guy, and now he's on the
(29:15):
comeback trail. But I like, I understand some of it
and more seasoning, more starts, whatever. But four years, fifty
two million dollars is the estimated slot at number two
for this year. I can't I can't look away from that,
Like I can't find a way to say, Okay, this
makes sense because a lot of things could go wrong
at Oregon. For Dan Lanning might look at that tape,
(29:39):
might really haunt him. They did sign Rayola, right, they
brought it in, and a guy who might come in
and compete, You get hurt, you get banged out. There's
a number two option, not just the highly heralded prospect
and wishing, wanting, hoping that you signed coming out of
high school. Now this is a guy that's that's shown
a thing or two along the way and maybe just
(30:01):
needs to change of scenery to propel himself forward. And
if that door opens suddenly, not only are you not
the guy for the rest of that year at Oregon,
you're stock drops to back and then first round, second round,
or like, how many guys have we seen fall? Think
of all those guys that were presumptive first round picks
(30:21):
this year that didn't finish the year as the starter,
nuss Meyer being the guy that stands out most of all. Right,
he was going to be the chosen He's gonna be
like the fifth quarterback. Now he's like the fifth guys
selected didn't finish as the starter and the cautionary tale,
and there's plenty of them, and history's littered with him.
Four years, fifty two million dollars. I go take my lumps,
(30:42):
whatever city that may be, whether it's with the Jets
or or whoever drafts me up top, and I get
my seasoning there. And if that doesn't work out, I'll
get another bite at the apple somewhere else. Unless I'm
just that far gone, still a young guy, still a
lot to learn. I'd love to talk through the decision
process that led him back to Oregon, unless she just
(31:04):
wanted more of that college experience and you wanted, you know,
more life experience before you got to the pros. But
it's awful hard to turn down four years, fifty two
million dollars. I could learn those life lessons. That's an
awful decision.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Good luck, good luck. I hope it works out for him,
but wow, good luck man. Uh TIMEO to find out
what's trending in the wide world of sports. So someone
who's been called the Dante More of Fox Sports Radio,
she never wanted to leave college either.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yea, I wish I could be in college.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You can be, You're right if stopping you like college
fantasy camp, yeah, bage fantasy camp.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
No, no, no, it's only a certain amount of time,
that's all, and then it's over, which is why you
can't play in college seven years.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Okay, you can't do it, guys. What's the point if
I could.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Just go you know, I never played college volleyball. Can
I go back and play?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think?
Speaker 4 (31:55):
So?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Is that legal?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Think you got eligibility? Do I have eligibility? Yeah? About
everybody around and know they're going to get a low
draft grade and you can go make five to seven
million dollars. It worked out pretty nice. It's for saying,
chasing dream and a cavender, that's it.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And how are they still together?
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Really?
Speaker 5 (32:17):

want to know about the football team? Yeah, it was
(02:39):
the Bird, the bird. It was the bird. It was Okay,
And and give me one other person, a football personality
named Harbaugh besides John. Joe, Yes, Joe Harbaugh. I know

Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Uh, you know later on this week we have to
talk about your Super Bowl picks.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh, by the way, pretty accurate. Well, it depends well,
I mean, he's no less accurate than a lot of
Uh okay, we'll get into hold on fair play.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
What you wrote. You told me, I said, who's your
super Bowl pick? I said, I said NFC. You said Bills. Yes,
I said AFC. You said Eagles. I said, give me
a bold prediction. It was Rogers takes the Steelers to
the superp He could still take them. They're not in anymore,
that is true. He could fly them all there trip,
he could fly them all there. Yeah, I know that
(04:17):
that could happen. That could happen. All right, very good,
all right. I didn't think about that. I can think
about that part of it. You're right, you're playing chess. Well,
I'm playing checkers. No, you're right, you're right. But uh,
deeper learning a phrase I didn't think i'd say. Alex
Tye shirt brought you that big breaking news. John Harbaugh
to the Giants. Adam Schefter reporting this about an hour ago.
(04:39):
There were still some teas to cross and eyes to
be dotted, but the expectation was they would reach agreement.
They were working on a long term deal.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Schefter put out a subsequent tweet about a half hour
ago saying, now John Harbaugh, after being in the NFC
East earlier in his career, returns as head coach of
the Giants, which tells me that it's done and the
Giants just want to announce it without Chefter saying the
deal is done. He's a giant Chefter saying hey, now
you know, hey, you know Now John Harbaugh returns the
(05:08):
NFC East where he was previously. Now he's the head
coach of the Giants. This is him saying it's done. Right,
He's appeared on ESPN talking about it. So John Harbaugh
of the Giants. Right, We've talked a lot in the
last hour about the Fits and the Giants getting Harbaugh
because they have the best opening, right of all the openings.
The Steelers are a good opening mainly because you'll get
(05:30):
the time to coach there. Right, You will get time
to succeed. It may not be the best opening because
you have a lot of work that's got to be
done to that question, but you will get time. So
for security wise, they're not going to fire you after
a couple of years, which, oh, by the way, if
you get fired for two years of the Steelers, man, wow,
you should just not coaching.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, you broke with tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, right right, I set them and nobody ever did
what I did with the Steelers. Yeah, but I wouldn't
talk about that. Uh So, the Giants have the best opening.
We've talked about, the young talent they have, and you
just go Dart Scataboo, Tracy Neighbors, Wandale Robinson, Theo Johnson
defensive line. They keep reloading on. This is the opening.
(06:10):
This you aren't neares. No one set up to succeed
better than Harball with the Giants. Harbaugh comes in with
because you know there's a butt coming. Harbaugh comes in
with the right attitude to get the most out of
Jackson Dart when it comes to Hey, play a little
bit smarter. I'm gonna kind of you know, I'm gonna
kind of sand down the rough edges, which is what
Harbaugh does well. Andy Reid does that really well. This
(06:33):
is not a program builder from the bottom up. This
is Hey managing superstars as time goes on, being able
to adjust from season to season, I'm gonna iron out.
You know, I'm gonna bang out the dents on you here.
And number one thing, I know he's gonna take care
with Jackson Dart is playing smarter, staying on the field,
gotta run around to stay around. All of this, I
believe all of this. I believe Harbaugh right call, right opening.
(06:56):
Giants fans are excited. Here comes your butt. Okay, here
comes your button. At this time last year, it was
exciting to see Pete Carroll come back into the NFL
head coach of the Raiders. Why the Raiders need an
adult in the room. His track record in Seattle was immaculate.
He just ran out of touch, kind of like the
(07:18):
same thing with Harball in Baltimore and Tomlin in pittsburghen which, Hey,
his run came to its natural conclusion. Right was still
somewhat winning. Made it work with Geno Smith. Right was
all of a sudden he became a bad coach. But okay, yeah,
we want new things and you can't argue with it
now because here's Mike McDonald has them as the number
one seed in the NFC two years later, So yeah,
(07:39):
they made the right call. This time last year, Carol
coming into the Raiders. Hey, him coming in, Brady coming in,
You bring it in your quarterback? Who is league averagesh enough? Hey,
the basic losing for the Raiders has stopped. The backsliding
has stopped. This is the adult in the room, the
CEO that's going to help lift the Raiders up. And
(08:02):
what happened over the course of the season, there was
no buy in to the And Pete Carroll's only out
of the game for a year, right, It's not like
Carrol sat like he was Joe Gibbs sitting for a
long time or John Gruden who sat for a long time.
He's only out for a year, and then he comes
back in and what happens. It's a disaster and it's
it's punctuated with Hey, Max Crosby is not going to
(08:22):
play the rest of the rest of the season. So
we told him to go home, slash. He left to
go home. He walked out on the team. We told
him to leave the team. It was a disaster. Now,
doesn't mean that Pete Carroll all of a sudden turned
into a bad head coach, right, because you look at
what Pete Carroll accomplished at USC and what he did
for his entire time at Seattle. I mean the guys,
(08:43):
you know, tremendous, the guys could wind up being a
Hall of Fame head coach at some point. Right for
what he for what he's done throughout his career, But
he didn't get the buy in and he was done
in a year and John Harbaugh same place for nineteen years. Right,
maybe he lost a little bit of the buy in
at the end in Baltimore. I'm not fully ready to
believe that everybody turned the page on him, but maybe
(09:05):
they were ready.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
For a new voice.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
And so maybe he did lose a little not quite
losing the locker room, but maybe he lostes, his words,
lost impact, which happens.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But it comes down to this. You only have so
many of those guys that are mainstays and whose voice
really matters. So Lamar Jackson not endorsing him means you
lost Lamar Jackson. Right, guess what that means? You lost
the locker right? Right? But did he really did? He
lose him to the point where I didn't want to
play anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And Lamar Jackson wasn't giving us all because clearly he
didn't look like the same guy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Or it's Lamar Jackson like.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, me and John Me and John Harbor have been good,
but maybe it's time for something else.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You know that. I think it's more of the latter.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But yeah, here's John Harbaugh coming in, and we talked
about the unrealistic expectations the Giants fans are gonna have.
It's gonna be we should win the NFC East next
year with all this talent coming in. There is a
dark side to coming in with all expectations to succeed
and being put in position if you don't succeed, how
long is it gonna be? Now, Harbo's getting a big contract,
(10:05):
right heard maybe once you get twenty million dollars a year,
but how long does he have if things don't go well?
If things don't go well early after six weeks, is
it gonna be? Hey, trust in John Harbaugh? Or is
it gonna be?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
How are we? How are we letting all this talent
fritter away? Right?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
So, you didn't think there's any way that was gonna
happen with Pete Carroll, even though you didn't think the
Raiders were gonna suddenly go crazy and win the division.
But you thought, okay, they've hit rock bottom for where
they're at. They're gonna go back up there because you
brought in the right guy, right, You brought in that
CEO ed coach with a great resume. You would think
that Pete Carroll's gonna succeed to some extent, and in fact,
now he didn't and he's out in a year. John
(10:44):
Harbaugh same type of situation. Is he gonna get the
buy in? Is he gonna Are the Giants players gonna
talk to players from the Ravens, They're gonna go, Yeah,
this is the deal with coach the last season or so,
last season or two, and if it doesn't start out well,
how is the rest of that gonna go? How patient
are the Giants gonna be with Harbor? Because before you
can tell me it's not gonna happen, I'll point to
some recent episodes where it's happened. It's happened. And just
(11:07):
look at last year with Pete Carroll, who, oh, by
the way, had a little bit better success than Harbaugh
did over the course of his career, was still a
great head coach, and it happened to him.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, it's gonna be curious to watch how Harvard rounds
out his staff. But to take the Raiders on for
just a second, right you talked about the Max Crosby
end of season, they fire chip Kelly and send him packing.
Jacoby Myers more or less had a sign instead of
kick me, it said trade me. Before he finally got
out to Jacksonville. Gino Smith was a turnover machine. The
(11:38):
offensive line stunk Ashton gent. He finished with a pretty
nice year, about fourteen hundred total yards or thereabout, but
wasn't really a threat early on, again owing a little
to the offensive line and truncated possessions by the turnover
machine that was Gino Smith. But the Chip Kelly part
of it, and any stories that start flowing out of
(12:00):
that now that the season's long gone, will be very
interesting to see. But Pete Carroll, clearly the control wasn't
there for the Giants. You come into a situation. You
got the AFC South on your schedule, the NFC West
obviously all your division games, and then Cleveland New Orleans
and Detroit New Orleans acquitted themselves quite nicely. I don't
(12:22):
think anybody expected the type of season they got from
Tyler Shucking Company, as they were viable. Cleveland new coach,
who's the quarterback it's some amalgam of sdor Sanders and
because he's still under contractor they have to roll Dejean Watson.
We have choice contract, right, They got rid of Morton,
(12:42):
they're oc They're in another trying to stop a backslide
with Dan Campbell. We'll see if he comes up with
another great speech as they rebound. But for the Giants,
you look in division. Washington's got a bunch of issues.
They have to remedy. Dallas. We always know they're gonna
be a circus. They got to figure out are they
(13:03):
gonna pay George Pickens well or will Jerry somehow come
to a problem there. Defensively, they've got a lot of
rebuilding to do.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And he cause the Packers, hey, I'll trade you the
Pickens kid for for Parsons.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Let's get that. I gotta get him back. So what
if we did that trade? He misses him so much.
And then the Eagles, we've chronicled all of their missteps,
but they're still roster wise. Defensively they're fantastic, and offensively
they've they've gotten rid of their coordinator. We had the
seven second exchange between Jalen Hurts and Sirianni everything'll be right,
(13:38):
won't it, won't it? But yeah, the Giant's looking for stability,
looking for that guy to get them back to the
good graces where they were one of the hallowed yeah
marks in the NFL, right the legacy, the history, and
John Harbaugh now gets to try to rebuild that.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
But just think that dark side is there for Harball
for a lot of different reasons, and one I haven't
even gotten into yet, which we'll get into in a
few minutes. One thing, it's like, oh wait a minute, Yeah, forgot.
That's part of it too with Harbaugh taking Is it.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Because they share the facility with the Jets or some
of the Jets will rub off on him.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't want the Jets near the We're gonna draw
the line down the middle of field. The Jets don't
go past this parting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He goes in and paints the Jets locker room like
the Hawkeyes used to.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Now there's another big thing for Harbaugh taking this gig
with the Giants, which we'll get two plus maybe now
it's a one quarterback draft in the NFL. After big
news today, that's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We just had a very spirited off
air discussion about one battle after another.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Nah hot take. Leo's character was the worst part of
the movie.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Really yeah, worst part of the movie. Absolute hundred percent
worst part of the movie. Very inconsistent.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
See I want to buddy comedy with him in Benicio
del Toro. Though, we gonna have that, get that sure.
Some things that got cut and maybe I would have
liked the movie more if.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
They were in He's a Benizio La Tour's guy. Feel
bad for because Sean Penn's gonna run away with Best
Supporting Actor. The only thing is if Sean Penn gets
nominated for Best Actor because he was kind of the
co lead with Leo del Toro, will win for Best
Supporting Actor, because I feel like he was so good
and it's like, yeah, but Sean Penn is you know,
I mean, he's much, you know, a much bigger role.
(16:09):
It was fantastic top to Bob.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
But it's really coming into a thread with me and
I have to revisit, maybe take a long walk on
the beach about my movie watching and how I feel
about films is or maybe it's just that it's been
hyped to the point before I saw it that I
go in with higher expectations. I loved all the individual
performances like you cite them all. I don't really think
(16:32):
the movie didn't move me, Like I didn't come away
and go, wow, what a great two hours plus of
my time.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well wait, mister hond if it's your time and it's
my time, isn't it art.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was like Sean Penn okay, good, hateable Del Toro,
some comic relief, and some big moments, right Tianna Taylor
to get things started, like and and I forget the
actress's name that that played the younger actress, the daughter.
She was fantastic, But like the movie itself, I just
kind of finish it when and I started watching an
(17:06):
old Simpsons episode Simpson, eh ye go into that. So uh,
that's the big off air conversation. The on air conversation,
of course, surrounds John Harbaught of the Giants. They'll be
finalizing a deal. He is ready to accept the Giants
head coaching job and they will hire him as soon
as possible. This reported by Adam Schefter. I will have
(17:26):
more on this story coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But the other big news today in football, Dante Moore
is headed back.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
To school. Back to school. He's going back to.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oregon for one more year, not headed to the NFL Draft.
And before we get into what a bad decision this is,
let me just say I don't care that the Jets
aren't getting him at two because I was I've told
you I was never sold on I'm not really sold
in any of the quarterbacks. I wasn't sold on him,
not a lot of starts, all of the litany of
(17:58):
reasons why to be afraid of Dante Moore. I was
never sold on him. So it's not like I'm bitter that,
oh he told the Jets to stick it and beat it. No,
I was never I would And granted if they draft him,
it would have been wrong if they let him go
by and drafted somebody else, that would have been wrong
with well, you just do a quarterback is wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I get it. You just know in the boomerang, he's
gonna be there for you when you draft at the
top of the board in twenty seven anyway, arch Manning,
arch Manning will be there arch Art. Well what if
you finished second again? What if you can't even take
right back to school? Back to school?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So you know, I I don't really care that they
missed out on him because I'm not sold on him
as a as a great quarterback. And the fact that
he says he's got to go back to school, okay,
so maybe he's not convinced. So I really I'm being honest.
I swear I don't care that they do that they're
not getting you have to be honest. Though I'm being honest,
I don't care. Listen, they're gonna get Mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't say you have to be honest.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I know Mac Jones, the Jets quarter back on that. Yeah,
I'm honest.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I don't I was never It's not like Arch Manning
was there. We're missing him with somebody else is gonna
be great, Like I really, I don't care that we're
Dante Moore made a horrible decision for his life.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
But but I don't know who was talking to or
helped it out.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
But I mean we're the smart no no, dude, Jets,
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
And hey, do we get anything?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Do we know the Jets we're gonna take him at
two or they weren't going to trade out of it.
Someone was gonna trade up because I know they were
sold on for Nando Mendoza. They sent guys every week
to see him. It was like it was like a
cavalcade of stars, a Jets set, like eight scouts. They
love Fernando Mendoza. But clearly after the semi final game,
we know Mendoza is going number one to the Raiders.
(19:36):
So okay, but I'm not upset that Dante Morris staying
in school. From the Jets perspective, again, we're gonna get
mac Jones. The forty nine ers are gonna say, hey,
we can turn him around for a high return because
the quarterback crop and free agency in the draft is low.
We'll get a fourth, maybe a third. They'll do him
a solid and not keep him from getting a starting
job because teams don't really do that to other guys
in the NFL. And plus they want to get out
(19:58):
from any sort of Brock Perdy mac Jones controversy that
could crop up next year if Perdy gets hurt again
and mac Jones comes in and plays well. So I
have no dubt. Mac Jones wants to come back to
the NFC East and stick it to the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
So, I know we're getting mac Jones, but I'm not
upset that we're not getting Dante more because I'm not
wasn't sold on him, And but the biggest part of
this is that he made a really bad decision. Whether
it well, I don't and again I don't know who
is advising him, who is talking to him, But any
decision you make there is a risk, like he I
(20:31):
don't know if he thought I got rid of all
the risk by going back to school. But there's a risk.
There's a risk that you're not gonna have a great
year next year and you're not gonna go as high,
You're not gonna get as much money. There's a risk
you could get hurt and instead of being a first
round pick, you're a second round pick. There's a risk.
There's a risk going to the NFL. There's a risk
playing for the Jets. Right, there's risks. There's risks, but
(20:54):
I will I'll tell you exactly now why it's the
bad decision was the one that was made, Okay, And
I'll use I'll use a different example from football, because
this is where anybody when you hear that you're gonna
go oh yeah, I would absolutely have chosen to go
one to the NFL. That absolute would have chosen to
go on in the NFL. Right, let's just say for
a second, Mike Harmon, you run a coffee shop. You
(21:19):
run a coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right? You run my own product?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You you you you create get high on my own
to be problematic. You you run your own coffee shop, right,
don't cost a coffee's off? Nineteen percent, dude, coffee is expensive, man. Yeah,
if you can get If you can get a coffee
for less than six fifty, you're doing pretty well.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, that's why I don't go off for cof But
I but if I could run this shop and be
the guy getting six fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You run, You run a car, You manage and coffee shop.
You do so many great things like, wow, hey, this
this coffee shops doing really well. You don't have a contract.
That's a good thing for you because now that you
you're on the map of being a great coffee shop
creator and manager. All right, so people want you. Now
this coffee shop that you are managing. Right now, let's
say it's Pete's. Okay, let's say it's Pete's Coffee. You're
(22:01):
working at Pete Mike. Yeah, but you're Mike. But why
don't you just go by Mike. Your name is Mike Pete, Right,
you're Pete's Coffee. Say you're Seattle's Best. Right, you're working
Seattle's bet whatever you want to say.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You're working there.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And they say, hey, Mike said by Pete, we love you.
You come back next year and work for it, just
for a year, Just for a year. We'll pay you
between seven and ten million dollars. It's pretty good, right,
It's a pretty good deal working one year making coffee.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Make sure.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Hey, but you know what you know because the coffee
shop is profitable, it's making money. Everything is great. Right,
you get eight and a half million dollars coming back
next year. Now, the thing is, no matter what, you
have to leave that coffee shop in a year because
the coffee shop is being sold and they're bringing in.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
All the people.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Right, just saying you can't be there more than a year. Right,
But you like working there, You like the people you're
working with, You like you know, you like.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I've got my regulars. Yeah, you like your a smiley
face on your baristas are all good. It's like cocktail
for making coffee.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
You know. Me.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I love my local indie pend in shops, no question about.
You got the hippie hippie show. You.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You are like Tom Cruise and Brian Brown before he
was in FX Young Flanagan. So you have that. But
there's another coffee shop. Let's call it coffee Bean, and
Coffee Bean is where everybody wants to go. Like, hey,
no matter if you work at Seattle's Best or Pete's.
You're at a local cash aspiring to you're a three.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Everybody wants so when I draw my picture of Caleb
Williams in the foam, I'm aspiring that that's going to
propel me to greatness. Col fingernails, how.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Did you draw him throwing an interception in the film?
I like how it moves that way.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, it was a lot of chuckling until he threw
that final touchdown pass. Now, what what color you want
the fingernails? Frostbury, We do it, he said, he was
drawing a painting. Yes, what color you want him? Could
be anything you want? What the artist it's like a
coat of many colors. At the holidays, they'll be red
and green right in a sweater on him. Of course.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That's very inceptionisque very good. So Coffee Bean calls and says, hey, hey,
we're interesting. You're like, wow, Hey, everybody wants to get
to Coffee Bean. Everybody does you want to get there?
You're like okay, And you find out from Coffee they go,
we love what you've done here at Seattle's Best, right.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
We love we do.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
We want you to come here and do it for us,
and we're gonna give you a four year contract worth
fifty million dollars guaranteed to come here and run our
our or our our store here.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We got big stores everywhere, right called. We got a
big store in New York. We got a big store
in Vegas. We got a big store in Arizona. We
got a store in Tennessee. We got stores everywhere. Right,
We're a store in Cleveland, we got but the New
York store is where we kind of want you to go. Right,
That's kind of what we're thinking. It's a big deal market.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You're the number one guy making, you know, paintings of
John Harbaugh.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The pressure is on, and our New York store has
really been underachieving. But this is why we're paying you
this money. We feel you can succeed, and no matter what,
you're gonna to get every bit of this fifty million
dollars of it. No matter what, you could burn a
guy with coffee and throw it on his face, you're
still gonna get that fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Okay, you can.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Fire a barista because you accidentally stuck his hand in
the coffee grinder, and then he can suit, but you're
still gonna get that fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Wow, I mean he's gonna happen. He's gotta pay attention
to my safety protocol. This is what happens when you
make when you make a drink with too much foam
your right hand, Please, what are you gonna do? You
do your homework? Is your homework? Didn't do your pham
this presentation?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh you're sweat pouring off your head as you push
the guy's hand in the coffee ground.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So this is the situation you have right now. I'll
run a coffee house like it's the end of Fargo, exactly. Yeah,
I've listen to your crap all week. So these are
the two choices you have. All right, you go back
to just.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
For one year and Seattle's best for eight million and
a half million dollars. Not bad, But you could go
to coffee where you're gonna go anyway and get four
years and fifty million dollars guaranteed. Now you have questions,
and your question is, well, I don't know if I'm ready. Okay,
that's fair. I want to come there, and I definitely
want to go there after this year. There's no doubt
(26:10):
I am one hundred percent commuting. What if I go
there next year. What can you what can you offer me?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I don't know. I mean, you don't know. You're offering
me four years.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Fifty million dollars out. Yeah, but really need somebody to
run this store in New York. And I may find
somebody in the meantime, or we may find out of
the course of the next year there's other people running
other coffee shops that we like a little bit more.
Maybe they're doing something crazy. Maybe they got cardboard cutout
serving stuff. Maybe you got robots hanging out that are
making food for you and and warming up croissants and
(26:39):
bringing it to you on the street. We may find
somebody we like better. There will be a job for you.
We love you. There'll be a job for you, but
we don't know where it's gonna be. But what about
the money. This is the most you're gonna get even
next year.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
The only way you do is go down from here.
You don't make more than four years and fifty million
next year. Okay, so your decision. I'm gonna go back
and take the one year deal. Who does that. Nobody
does that. Nobody in the world does that. I don't
care if you're scared of the Jets. I don't care
if you're scared of where when the NFL calls you,
you go. You're the number two pick in the draft,
(27:14):
someone trading up to get you four years and fifty
million dollars, that's what it is. In no world is
one year, eight and a half million and a shoulder
shrug for the next few years better than that. And
I'm sorry if you feel you have to prove yourself. Yeah,
I want four years to suck and uh and then
still get all the by Well, no, you get the
NFL is a show me business, so you gotta go
(27:35):
in there and show and things might be bad with
the Jet I get it. The Jets aren't great at quarterbacks.
But when you get drafted number two overall, you have
a much better chance of getting a longer time to
succeed because the team has invested way more in you
than if they take you at eighteen or at the
end of the first round. Right, it's there, there's risk, Right,
Andrew Luck decided to roll the dice and come back
worked out for Matt Lionett rolled the dice, come back
(27:57):
did not work out for him. It's a risk. Everything
is a risk. So if everything's a risk. And I
have one scenario that's one year, an eight and a
half million, or four years and fifty million. How are
you not taking that? How are you not taking that?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, Liner's still finished as a top ten pick. I
mean you know you're not number one overall. No, no,
And like been trying to wrap my head around this
one all day because we broached this last week when
it became a big talking point of no go. And
you know, the second contracts, the important one is like, well,
don't you want to get to that second one faster?
(28:32):
And I get it to some degree from a where
he finished that game against Indiana. I mean it was
a disaster, right, and you got a bunch of low
lights play the Benny hill yackety sacks behind a couple
of those plays and whatever. But you want to get
more seasoning. We talk about starts. You bring up Mac
(28:53):
Jones and we go down the list of guys Brock
Purdy where more college starts help them along the process.
Because once upon a time Mac Jones was the guy
in New England and he played pretty well until Bill
Belichick decided to put a defensive coordinate as ze like heavy.
They sabotaged that poor guy, and now he's on the
(29:15):
comeback trail. But I like, I understand some of it
and more seasoning, more starts, whatever. But four years, fifty
two million dollars is the estimated slot at number two
for this year. I can't I can't look away from that,
Like I can't find a way to say, Okay, this
makes sense because a lot of things could go wrong
at Oregon. For Dan Lanning might look at that tape,
(29:39):
might really haunt him. They did sign Rayola, right, they
brought it in, and a guy who might come in
and compete, You get hurt, you get banged out. There's
a number two option, not just the highly heralded prospect
and wishing, wanting, hoping that you signed coming out of
high school. Now this is a guy that's that's shown
a thing or two along the way and maybe just
(30:01):
needs to change of scenery to propel himself forward. And
if that door opens suddenly, not only are you not
the guy for the rest of that year at Oregon,
you're stock drops to back and then first round, second round,
or like, how many guys have we seen fall? Think
of all those guys that were presumptive first round picks
(30:21):
this year that didn't finish the year as the starter,
nuss Meyer being the guy that stands out most of all. Right,
he was going to be the chosen He's gonna be
like the fifth quarterback. Now he's like the fifth guys
selected didn't finish as the starter and the cautionary tale,
and there's plenty of them, and history's littered with him.
Four years, fifty two million dollars. I go take my lumps,
(30:42):
whatever city that may be, whether it's with the Jets
or or whoever drafts me up top, and I get
my seasoning there. And if that doesn't work out, I'll
get another bite at the apple somewhere else. Unless I'm
just that far gone, still a young guy, still a
lot to learn. I'd love to talk through the decision
process that led him back to Oregon, unless she just
(31:04):
wanted more of that college experience and you wanted, you know,
more life experience before you got to the pros. But
it's awful hard to turn down four years, fifty two
million dollars. I could learn those life lessons. That's an
awful decision.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Good luck, good luck. I hope it works out for him,
but wow, good luck man. Uh TIMEO to find out
what's trending in the wide world of sports. So someone
who's been called the Dante More of Fox Sports Radio,
she never wanted to leave college either.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yea, I wish I could be in college.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You can be, You're right if stopping you like college
fantasy camp, yeah, bage fantasy camp.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
No, no, no, it's only a certain amount of time,
that's all, and then it's over, which is why you
can't play in college seven years.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Okay, you can't do it, guys. What's the point if
I could.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Just go you know, I never played college volleyball. Can
I go back and play?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think?
Speaker 4 (31:55):
So?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Is that legal?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Think you got eligibility? Do I have eligibility? Yeah? About
everybody around and know they're going to get a low
draft grade and you can go make five to seven
million dollars. It worked out pretty nice. It's for saying,
chasing dream and a cavender, that's it.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And how are they still together?
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Really?
