Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangzlo here ready
to go every Monday, best and worst of the weekend
which you saw that you liked, you didn't like, A
lot to recap, and you got football coming up tonight.
If we're looking at the oversaturation of the NFL, this
would be a good litmus test here because you got
two Monday night games, you had a Sunday night game,
you had a Sunday morning game, you had a Thursday
(00:26):
game as well, and they're gonna run it back and
do it again next week eight seven, seven to three.

we will be in South Bend And if you have
an opportunity to join us. We'll be outside Legends Pub
on the campus and Notre Dame Thursday and Friday. First come,
(01:09):
first serve, standing room only. Parking is self directed there.
And I'm not sure what the weather is. I didn't check.
I just thought, okay, it'll be football weather in South Bend.
Pauli as our resident meteorologist. What's it looking like on
Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
A little balmy, a little warm, almost high of sixty
eight and partly cloudy.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
That's not football weather. It might be football weather.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
When we start our show No, which is fifty five
degrees as football web.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
But it can't be as cold as Las Vegas was
when we were out there for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Weirdly cold.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, that's We're up at four thirty in the morning
and all of a sudden you go outside and you're like, oh,
I hope those heat lamps are on. But it's a
great atmosphere. Been out there for a few football games.
The atmosphere is wonderful. And USC coming to town off
a big win agains Michigan. That was a big win.
That might be Lincoln Riley's biggest win of his career
(02:04):
at USC. Not a lot of coverage because us SEA
not ranked in the top twenty five. They will be
now the big news over the weekend as James Franklin
got fired as the head coach at Penn State. And
when you're the first team since nineteen seventy eight to
lose consecutive games as a favor to twenty or more points,
(02:24):
and you're already on a warm seat. They decided, I mean,
forty nine million dollars to go away. I wish somebody
would do that, like, I don't want you around so much. Here,
take this money and go away. But James Franklin, he'll
get a job. If you look at his overall record,
(02:44):
you go, dang, that's impressive. It isn't until you start
looking at the meaningful games. And as I said last week,
and I heard from the Penn State alumni, why are
you picking? Why are you piling on? I'm only pointing
out something. If you want to be a big time program,
you have to have high standards. Michigan wouldn't have settled
for that. Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, just to name a few.
(03:08):
You don't lose those games. You don't lose that many
games to top ten teams, and they did and it
cost him. But we'll talk to Rick new Heiseel, the
former coach who's been fired a couple times. He works
for CBS. He was out in Eugene for the Oregon
game against Indiana, and Indiana Indiana dominated that game. That
(03:28):
was a wonderful performance and I thought, boy, can they
hold up in that environment against an Oregon team that
I thought was just going to be too fast. This
is different for Indiana Indiana. I didn't think Indiana was
a playoff team last year. I certainly do this year.
They got a quarterback, two receivers, the defense is really good,
and you know, they could be talking about a bigger
(03:51):
picture here by the end of the year. But we'll
talk to Rick new Heiseel, and I'm watching new Heiseel
the CBS crew is on the field, and he gave
an oh by the way that he didn't think Bill
Belichick would be the head coach at North Carolina after
this season. He'll talk about that. North Carolina had a
bye week. Now they go out to cal and who
(04:12):
knows what happens if they come back with a loss
eight seven, seven to three DP show email address DP
at Danpatrick dot Com Twitter handle that DP show. I'm
gonna be honest with you as I always am. I
forgot there was baseball last night. I forgot that the
Blue Jays and the Mariners played last night. Game one
of the Alcs, big Dumper hit a home run, and
(04:34):
here is the call of the game winning. Do we
have this Morvion?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
This is from Friday?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh okay, yep. Three two pits on the way sway
I drive. They said, right.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Field, all right, Pulloco for the lock up single, and
the Americas are gonna play for the America League Championship.
The Mariners win the battle at Seattle at fifteen eights.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
There it is win.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
It's three to two.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So fifteen innings on Friday they get into the Alcs.
They have to go to Toronto. I think they had
travel problems, playing issues, delays, but then they pick up
the win last night. You have baseball today tonight. You
got Dodgers Brewers Game one, and you have Mariners Blue
Jays Game two. I couldn't help but think when the
Brewers won, and the first thing I thought of Vin
(05:26):
Scully and Bob Buker. Don you imagine that showdown between
those teams. But those broadcasters in the building first thing
I thought of. But in memory of those great broadcasters,
hopefully we get a great series. All right, Chiefs over
the Lions. I guess everybody's back on the Chiefs banwagon.
(05:47):
And they didn't have a penalty called last night on
the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Kevenia.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, Chargers over the Dolphins. It's more than just one
loss the Dolphins. That is a bad situation and they
could have won that game. It's where, Okay, you lost
the game, you played pretty well. The Chargers did what
you want them to do. They score. I just I
(06:12):
was surprised at Miami with too a tongue of Iloa's
comments after the game, because in a loss, I want
to see what you do. I want to hear what
you're talking about. You know, Aaron Glenn, the Jets head coach,
wasn't really recognizing the elephant in the room talking about
Justin Fields and how bad he played nine sacks minus
(06:33):
ten yards passing. I'll give you that comment coming up
in a moment. But here is too a tongue of Ioloa,
who threw three interceptions, talking about his teammates.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
I think it starts with the leadership in helping articulate
that for the guys, and then what we're expecting out
of the guys, right, we're expecting this, Are we getting that?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Are we not getting that?
Speaker 7 (06:54):
We have guys showing up to player only meetings late,
guys not showing up to play only meeting Like, there's
a lot that goes into that. Do we have to
make this mandatory? Do we not have to make this mandatory?
So it's it's a lot of it's a lot of
things of that nature that we got to get cleaned up.
And it starts with the little things like that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Okay, if you're a leader, then why don't you handle
this in house? Why did it get to a press conference?
You're the quarterback? Why did it get to a press conference?
You don't have to tell us everything, tell us what
we need to know or you think we need to know. Now,
all of a sudden, I'm questioning your quarterback, and I'm
(07:36):
questioning your coach and the front office here and the players. Congratulations,
you gave us the trifecta there, But when you throw
three interceptions, that's when you have to go with your
hat in your hand and say, hey, this starts with
me and I hope to get it together. I want
(07:57):
all of us to meet and understand and air this
out so how we can rectify this. We're one in
five right now, and they are playing as if they
want to get their coach fired, and they're talking as
if they want to get their coach fired. Don't tell me.
You don't have to. I mean, I'm in the content business.
(08:17):
I love it. But if I'm a teammate or I'm
a coach, shut up. Do what you need to do first,
and then if you want to talk about other things,
how about we talk as a group. But man, that
felt like, man, this is leadership. Okay, maybe he is
throwing himself under the bus, but it doesn't sound like that.
(08:39):
You threw three picks. You were at home, you should
have won the game. I don't think you should be
calling people out. And hey, guys are showing up late
to meetings. If you have player only meetings after six weeks,
that says an awful lot about your team. Player only
meeting after week two, that says an awful out not
only about the players, but also so the coaches. All right,
(09:02):
seatan what's the poll question today? Oh, by the way,
here's Aaron Glenn, he's the head coach of the Jets
and Justin Fields. Did he have a zero point zero
zero quarterback rating?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You can't have a zero. You get like you can.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I think you get like fifty two points just for
showing up like the SATs.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Oh you get like seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay, all right, here's the question to Aaron Glenn, the
Jets head coach on Justin Fields for next week, Justice numbers.
Speaker 8 (09:30):
Knocking the steam. You know you don't need to be
your quarterback next week?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Or come on, man, what kind of question is that?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Hey, your game, there's a number of guys that you know,
I mean sometimes this league is like this and there
are guys that have bad games.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
That doesn't mean you just bench them. Come on, you
know better than that.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, that's a fair question.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
It is.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, Aaron Glenn can act tough and talk about
culture and whatever. You know what, that's fair quest. It's
Justin Fields. He was sacked nine times and I watch
a lot of the game and a lot of those
are because of him. Because you hold onto the ball,
or you don't get rid of it quick enough, or
you try to make something happen with your legs. It
(10:15):
feels like every week I talk about this, get the
ball out or go down? Get the ball out or
go down? First read right there go. Kurt Warner was
talking about that one of the greatest quarterbacks at reading
quickly getting the ball out. Kurt Warner's saying, you got
a guy open right there go. It's well, he's kind
of you know, maybe I can know it's right there.
(10:39):
And this is the difference between that quarterback who comes
out of college into the NFL and I got to
do all of this in college in high school to
the guy two or three years later who understands I
need to get the ball out quickly, read it and react.
And Justin Fields was running around and I didn't think
the Jets offensive line was that bad. But he threw
(11:02):
for forty five yards and he was sacked nine times,
so you could see you could feel Aaron Glenn's a
little frosty that. How dare you ask me if Justin
Fields off that performance is going to be my quarterback
next week? All right, Seaton pull question, what are you
thinking about?
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Well, we normally start with who had the worst weekend,
but this one I want to start before we can
populate who had the worst weekend. We have to figure
out if this person actually had a bad weekend or not.
James Franklin, did he have a bad weekend? Got fired,
(11:40):
lost another one, but is likely going to get picked
up pretty soon by a probably pretty good program, and
got a massive check for getting fired. Is that a
bad weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's an embarrassing weekend. It's like, you know, you have
you're a really good guy, but you had one night
that you you know, you messed up and you're like,
all right, that feels bad, and you wake up the
next day and you go all right, and then further
along it doesn't feel as bad. I think the embarrassing
part of that, and but boy that it'll make you
(12:19):
feel a whole lot better with that forty nine million dollars.
So I would. I would say it in the moment,
had a bad night, bad weekend, lost his job. But
bigger picture is you're going to get paid and he'll
coach someplace else next year.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Yeah, he's going to get that, you know, forty nine
million dollars, and then he's going to get hired at
a place like Arkansas or something. Who's going to be like,
holy crap, we got James Franklin. This is amazing, and
he's going to be treated like a savior there. That's
how he's going to land on his feet. For getting
fired is crazy. I don't know that there is a
(12:55):
more lucrative profession than being a failed college football coach.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
No doubt me.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's the best gig in the world. Yeah, and we'll
talk to Rick Neuheisel about that. You know, did they
do the right thing because this is mid season and
this is where you don't want somebody to win their
way back, and he could have won his way back
and then now you have a real dilemma as well. Well,
I mean, you can always fire him, but this is
(13:21):
where this can't continue. But man, you have to ask
the alumni in the boosters, Hey, we we have to
pony up and pay this guy off. Somebody's got to
write a check, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And this buyout for James Franklin goes back to twenty
twenty one. In twenty twenty he was four and five.
In twenty twenty one, he was seven and six and
people were bailing on him. The current president gave him
a ten year extension after a seven and six season,
which is still being questioned. By people in Penn State.
But the next three years eleven wins, ten wins, thirteen wins.
(13:58):
Why a ten year deal after a seven and six season?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, I mean even if he was, you know, had
eleven wins, like ten years, it's an eternity, and yes,
you may lose your coach, but you gotta be damn
sure if you're going to give him a ten year deal.
You have to be sure. And I was never sure
(14:22):
in it because he didn't win big games. And if
that's what you want to be and you want to
prove that you belong with Ohio State, in Michigan and
Oregon in the Big ten, now Indiana and the big like,
you have to you know, hey, we don't put up
with this.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
See, but I think that he I mean, he got
a ten year deal because that's kind of the norm,
isn't it. Like you could even go back to Charlie
Weiss where he got a ten year deal and then
people they just get ten year deals with a monstrous
buyout at the end of it, knowing that no one's
ever going to see the end of that contract.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
The life of that contract is. I just don't understand
ten years, even for baseball players, like we're giving them
a fifteen year deal. Man, there's a lot that can
go wrong in fifteen years, ten years with a coach
five years, that's the max. Five years. Five years. Then
you can establish your identity, you can get your players,
(15:18):
we can find out how good you are. Then after
that then we can discuss. But man, this is that's
expensive divorce. Yeah, Pauline.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
However, if you're Indiana University, you have to offer your
coach Signetti a ten year contract now or someone else
will in February.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But isn't five years enough.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's like a game that's being played by the agents
of college football and everyone's in on the joke. They
all work together to get these monster extensions for each
other because they know they'll get it elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
But I'm going to give you five, but I'm going
to pay you accordingly. Signetti at Indiana is like the
sixth highest paid coach in the Big ten. Right, I'm
going to pay you in accordance to what you're doing
and what you've done with this program. I'm going to
give you five years. I don't need to give you ten.
Are you here for the bigger picture? Because we're here
(16:12):
for this at five years, and he might say or
his agent go, hey, why not ten? This guy got
ten and that guy got ten. No, college football is
changing too rapidly, and you can be really good and
then really bad. And I think that's where you have
to be careful with falling in love with somebody.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you look Jimbo Fisher ten year contract,
James Franklin obviously, Brian Kelly ten year deal, Kirby Smart
ten year extension. They're all getting these ten year contracts
to maximize whatever money they could get.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
All right, your phone call says we always do every Monday,
best and worst to the weekend? Up next next Rick Neuheisel,
who talked about Bill Belichick over the weekend not coming
back for another year in his opinion, and did Penn
State do the right thing and firing James Franklin. We're
back after this.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Paully Foods go here with Tony Foodsco. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Toni Foodsco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. What are you doing interrupting
our promo?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Shut up.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fusco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Ye football coming up tonight. You got the Bills and Falcons.
That's a weird matchup, just hearing those two teams, Bills
minus four and a half at Atlanta and the getting
five and a half at the Commanders. The Bills have
the best Super Bowl odds right now, followed by the Chiefs.
(18:07):
Packers and the Lions. Didn't take long for the Chiefs
all of a sudden to get back up into everybody's graces,
and you saw that last night as they pick up
the win against the Lions. A couple other things. You know,
I'm still marveling over this non call there should have
been a holding call with Justin Herbert and he hits
(18:27):
Lad McConkey and it's a big gainer. They get the
game winning field goal. Should have been a holding call,
but they got the win. The Rams handled the Ravens
and the Buccaneers over the forty nine ers. So Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Panthers, Seahawks, Raiders,
Packers all pick up the win. And I'm watching Drake
(18:50):
May and I feel like I'm kind of watching Josh
Allen's younger brother just to feel size wise makes plays
athletic fun to watch. And New England's a good team
and it starts with a really good coach. But they're
a good team. They're a dangerous team. And you know,
Drake May puts up good numbers there and they they
(19:14):
will be on the cusp of making the playoffs. I
really feel that because the Dolphins aren't good and the
Jets aren't good, and maybe you can pick up a
couple of wins there and sneak in, but you're watching
like I watched the Steelers game and it was just okay.
I mean, they're they're good, Like I would say it
in a way where I go they're they're good. It's
(19:37):
like saying to somebody, you know, you got a nice personality. Yeah,
I mean they're not hot. They're not hot, but you
got a nice sense of humor. You got a nice personality.
That's the feeling. But at this stage of the season,
I think we understand who these teams are. We understand
who the chiefs and lines are. I still think the
(19:58):
Rams are really good, that Chargers are up and down.
The Buccaneers are legitimate. I don't know about the Niners
because all the injuries and Fred Warner, one of my
favorite players, he's done for the year. The Broncos, I mean,
you got to win those games. It wasn't pretty, but
you got to win those games, and they do. The
(20:18):
Colts I think are a playoff team. Patriots I think
a playoff team. Steelers Panthers have played pretty well. And
there were a lot of people late on Saturday and
Sunday who are saying, jump on the Panthers bandwagon. They
were getting three and they ran all over the Cowboys,
Seahawks in Jacksonville. Great win the Raiders, they beat the Titans.
(20:42):
Packers did what you need to do. It wasn't impressive
like they've gone from that opening night where they beat
the Lions and you're like, yeah too, Okay, they might
have a nice personality too, a nice smile. Speaking of
the Cowboys losing against the pay through Shan Irving joining
us on the program, I shay Fello Danny.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
One hundred and eighty four points in six weeks, ninety
in the last three this eber Flus character. Danny lost
everywhere he's ever been. If he had any shame, he
would turn himself into ice and self deport Thank god
we traded mic Gonna stop the run Danny. Thank god
because Ricky Dwdell ran for over one.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Hundred and eighty That's what I didn't understand. Aren't they
supposed to be a better run defense than they were
without Micah Parsons there.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Gave up two hundred yards on the ground, Dandy. You know,
Dak has to play and he blinked at the end
of the game. I'll give you that, But he has
to play lights out, perfect, perfect football to even have
a shot because the Cowboys are giving up thirty four
No matter what, this is not a serious organization. Tank
Tank Tank?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Can they be a playoff team?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You know what really makes me mad Is. Last week
I was thinking to myself, well, you know, there's not
a real jugger dog in the NFC, and uh, the
Cowboys win a couple we might be able to sneak it. No,
shake it off. It's poison. They can't do anything, Danny,
this is unfixable.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
You only got a couple of months left. Don't worry
about it to rehab. No you're not, thank you, Shay. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
See made Rico Daldell look like, uh.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Gail serious?
Speaker 9 (22:33):
Yeah, Adrian Peterson came out of I was like, dang,
who's this dude?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Man, this guy's balling. I know I'm watching it. I'm going.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Rico Daldell, all right, let's go, kid.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
This is the guy who used to be a cowboy.
Let's go. Yeah. Dang. Oh did you see where I said?
If if Jerry Jones accidentally didn't flip somebody off, then
he'll appeal the fine. And what happened he didn't be
able to find he was flipping somebody off. All right,
(23:05):
A couple of phone calls in here. How about Chris
and Syracuse? Hey, Chris, good morning, Hey thanks.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
Dan, Hey, I got the best and worst in the
comment and yeah, my comment is just even at a
bye week, still a lot of Bill Balichick talking and
whoever thought the words unorganized and undisciplined would be attached
to a Bill Balichick run football program, And also a
lot of talk to still about how is somehow his
relationship with his girlfriend is affecting this coaching genius. And
(23:32):
I was thinking, Dan, maybe it's like in The Godfather,
remember after the Virgio Salutso meeting and the Don polt
Santino aside and told him that his brain was going
soft from all that comedy's playing with that young girl.
And my best Friday night that fifteen five hour marathon
in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
Postseason baseball without ghost Runners is awesome. And my worst
Denver Broncos defense able to get a fairis bueld Or
nine sacks against the Wi n l Eess Jets.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
The Jets had minus ten yards net yards, passing fewest
in an NFL game since the Chargers in nineteen ninety eight,
which was Ryan Leaf's third career start. Stat of the day.
(24:30):
It brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading
cards of the program. I was watching the Raiders and Titans,
and I know you're probably saying, why I don't I
love watching Max Crosby. I just he never ever stops.
It's it be called a high motor. He had two sacks.
(24:51):
He has ten tackles for losses already this season. So
since two thousand, there have been two players to have
at least ten tackles for losses in each of the
first seven seasons. Uh. That's Jared Allen and Aaron Donald,
one Hall of famer and a future Hall of Famer
as well. Oh, stall of a day, Stall a day,
(25:17):
Statuta day out to day.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
This is the Stele of the day.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Fritzy is reminding me Rick new heiseelo's next hour. I
was exciting, excited to talk to him about all this
coaching stuff here. So Rick new Heisel will join us
next hour.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
He wants to build up the suspense.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh, we're promoted for okay, but James Frankly is still fired.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
He is still fighting.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Okay, that is true. Gus in La Hi, Gus, what
do you have for me?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope you and the boys had
a great weekend. Oh man, it was a weekend a
best all right. We start Friday night, that is what
postseason baseball is all about out. I don't care what
anybody says that it took too long. That game was
awesome from beginning to end. Sad that you know that
one team had to lose, but you got to lose.
My bestest of the weekend. What's his name? Coach Sharon Moore?
(26:15):
Am I saying it right? Or do I care to
say it right? I don't care. He there's going to
be one hundred thousand people in the coliseum. What do
you think of that? He goes, they're only going to
be there to watch us. Well, guess what, Coach More,
you and every other Michigan fan that was there got
to watch a fourth string walk on, non scholarship running
(26:36):
back run for one hundred and fifty eight yards all
over your team. How do you like me now?
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Loved?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
It was great to see USC be dominant against it.
And then the final best of the weekend when Dallas loses,
America wins. That was beautiful to see. It was the
chef's kiss to the weekend. It's the best weekend all around.
You boys, have a great week I'm going to watch
tonight Game one in fear. Hopefully my Dodgers can get
it done all.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Right, Thank you, Gus King. Miller rush for one fifty
eight and a touchdown in USC's upset over Michigan. It
didn't feel like an upset when I was watching it.
I wasn't surprised that USC won the game. Maybe how
they won the game, but I don't think this is
a very good Michigan team. Even though they spend a
lot of money on their quarterback. It just doesn't feel
(27:24):
Michigan like to see USC run the ball. And this
is about that physicality that everybody talks about. With the
Big ten and you have the Pac twelve teams, can
they be physical enough? Now you saw Indiana be more
physical than Oregon, but USC was more physical against Michigan.
And there's going to be names that are coming that'll
(27:44):
come up. And this is what happens when one coach
gets fired. Now your coach could be taking over for
that coach, and then that coach could take over for
that coach. So Penn State's going to get somebody. It
could be Kurt Signetti at Indiana, Matt Rule at Nebraska,
(28:06):
Mike Elko at Texas A and m Once again, these
are just names that people are throwing out and there
are attachments to them. You know, Matt Ruhle played there,
live there in high school. Mike Elkoe grew up in Jersey.
You know, that'd be a big score at Penn State
with what he's done at A and m Signetti at Indiana.
(28:29):
Joe Brady's the Bills offensive coordinator. He was the passing
coordinator at LSU with Joe Burrow. There'll be a lot
of names, and there'll be a lot of coaches who
do the following. They'll be up for a job, or
they'll be interested in a job, or they'll hear from somebody,
and then all of a sudden they get a new deal.
I'd be like Lane Kiffin be like yeah, Lane Kiffin
(28:51):
will be on a list and then all of a
sudden he'll be like, hey, Les Miles was up for
the Arkansas job every couple of years because his friend
was the athletic director. I believe I'd be like, yeah,
Arkansas is looking at me, and then all of a sudden,
it's like, Uh, why don't you go to Kansas?
Speaker 12 (29:07):
You know?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yes, Pauling.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, A guy like Mike Elko who you refer to,
he came from Duke. He's in year two at A
and M. He's six and oh, so he might get
a bump anyway. But you start saying, well, I'm having
a conversation with Penn State. It's we got to tack
two more years on the back end.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It's the dance of college football.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I know, I know, and I did wonder about this
with James Franklin. If you're going to fire somebody of
that magnitude at this point, I know you want to
get a head start, but who are you getting. I
don't think this is a case where you fire somebody
and then you go, we know exactly who we're going
(29:48):
to bring in. I mean, I hope it is that
you know, but it's too early. Yeah, we're going to
get a head start on it. You would have a
head start on any other program. They're not going to
be a marque program that's going to fire its coach.
I can't imagine that, Like, is Michigan going to move
on from Sharon Moore? But maybe another year like this
(30:09):
and they might. But I'm guessing that you'll still be
able to pick who you want at Penn State. And
then does Franklin sit out or is he going to
take another job? And then if he takes another job,
you know, once again it's a domino effect. It's not
just one coach got fired, it's somebody's going to get
that job and then somebody has to replace them as well.
(30:30):
Joe in Jersey, Hi Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (30:34):
Hi Dan, thanks for taking my call. I would say
the best of the weekend probably be the Steelers. I
mean they're just winning. That's head saw. They always do things,
but their offense it's the best it's look since Big.
Speaker 14 (30:47):
Ben was there.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Okay, and for the worst Dolphins.
Speaker 13 (30:56):
I mean, you had that game won and you blew it.
That's a big coaching difference there, Harbor. They're always buttoned up,
and with the Dolphins they don't have any discipline. That's
the difference between winning a game and losing a game.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
As coaching, Yeah, I always look at the last two
minutes when you win a game, your quarterback and your
coach and clock management being able to do the right thing.
You know, it drives me crazy when you get out
there and you got three minutes to go and you
gotta go fifty yards kick a field goal in the
first play, there's a false start. It's unimaginable that you
(31:34):
get to the line of scrimmage. All I gotta do,
I gotta remember, make sure that I don't jump. That's it,
and then do my assignment. That's it. And then you'll
see that and you'll go, oh my goodness, yes, Marta.
Nothing irritates a coach more because you know the count.
You know what's on too. Why did you jump like
they don't know if they jump? Okay, but you know
(31:57):
the count and the lions. When Arid Golf scores a
touchdown last night, Once you score a touchdown and there's
no flag on the play and you're lining up to
you know, an extra point, and then you throw a flag.
No no, no, no, no no, with some archaic rule
(32:18):
that you guys screwed up. I'm sorry. You guys pay
the price for this. You can't go on once you've
scored and you're lining up for the next play. That's
in the books, that's the way it should be, and
the Lion should have gotten that touchdown. I know there
is a rule. They didn't know. It took him four
minutes to hey, wait a minute, are they allowed to
(32:40):
do that? I don't know. Hey Tommy, come here, Hey
Skippy come here, and then they throw a flag and
I went no, no, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
It's almost like the Lions should have had the right
to kick the extra point and move on. You know,
like there's a certain time period where you've got to
make the call whether it was an illegal play.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
You can't have someone look it up in the boot. Well,
I looked up the rule.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
It's an obscure rule that references the t formation of
like the thirties and forties, and Jared Goff violated by
going under center, pulling out and going in motion, but
he really didn't go under center, so they didn't really
adjudicate it rightly.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
And then there was this stupid moment after the Chiefs
Lions game, Brian branch And hit Juju smith Shuster. Okay,
first of all, you're not hurting anybody by hitting him
in the helmet, and you had all game to go
after him. You had three hours to hit him, so
you're going to be gone for a game, and it's
(33:38):
just stupid. It's you know, immature that you're doing something
like that. And if Juju Smith Shuster did block you
from behind, Smith Schuster went up to shake his hand,
so I don't know if he went. You know, I
did something real egregious here. It was hey, and he
puts his hand out. Now all of a sudden, you
(33:59):
have this ermish at the end of the game.
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Yeah, I wasn't exactly surprised to find out that somebody
punched Juju Smith Schuster in the face after the game.
I mean, the dude, he seems to talk a lot,
and he did block him in the back, stepped over him,
looked at him, talked to him. I'm not surprised at
(34:22):
all that Juju Smith Schuster was that guy.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
But you're on the field with him. He's on on offense,
you're on defense. You can hit him, hit him in
the game. After the game, everybody sees this, and he's
going to be gone for a game. Look, they're guys
who taunt. They're really good at taunting you. And you
can't you can't fall for that.
Speaker 9 (34:45):
And he even at postgame, Juju Smith Schuster is like,
I'm sure he'll learn from the mistake. Oh my god,
Like god, I want to punch him in the face again.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Oh you want to punch him?
Speaker 9 (34:57):
No, But like, if I'm that guy, you know I'm like, dang, dude,
you know, yeah, did he reach his hand out to
shake it?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Did he maybe say, Hey, how's your back feeling?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Shut up? Shut up, dude. But when when football players fight,
when they hit each other in the helmet, I'm like,
that's stupid.
Speaker 9 (35:14):
I don't I don't think it has anything to do
with actually trying to hurt somebody. It's just about smacking
somebody in the face. Like sometime, if you're in a
street fight and you punch somebody, you're trying to knock
them out. But if you're trying to disrespect them, you
smack them in the face. That's what that is.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
See.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I would get right in his face and I would
just whisper to it, and I would say, this ain't over.
You want to play games, You continue to play games.
I will never forget this, and I'm coming after you.
Always keep your head on a swivel. Hey look at me,
I'm coming at you, you little punk ass.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Do you have enough time to get all that in?
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I think I do. A lot of stadium post came
I might I might have to. Hey hold on, hey
stay here, I'm not done yet. Hey, Hey, how does
my breath Smill. That's right. Let's let's take a break.
Speaker 9 (36:01):

you give us an update on our hour one poll question?
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Yeah, I sure, Ken. Did James Franklin have a bad weekend?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yes or no? Right now?
Speaker 9 (37:54):
Sixty four percent of the audience say no, excuse me?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Said yes, he did have a bad weekend.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
OK.
Speaker 9 (38:00):
Yeah, I don't know if I just if I agree
with that.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You think that he had a good weekend.
Speaker 9 (38:05):
Well, I don't know if he had a good weekend,
but it definitely wasn't bad. All right, Well it didn't
work out of Penn State. I'm gonna go catch this
big ass check and then go wait in line for
the next one that someone's gonna throw at me. That's
not the worst thing, Paul.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
I see what Seten is saying.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
He both got paid, but his future at Penn State
was going this direction no matter what. Clearly might as
well pull the band aid. He has a chance to
get out of this reputation as not being a big
game coach. Let's say he goes to Arkansas or blank
or blank. He can make ten more good years and
that this will be an afterthought.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, but that doesn't mean he's gonna win big games. No,
but maybe he went to Arkansas. You had a better
chance to win big games at Penn State, and he
did Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yes, I just think that it was going to happen anyway.
Let's pull the band aid.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
He just might be a good coach, not a great coach,
but a good coach, and he did a great job
at Penn State to have them relevant. I never ever
gonna give somebody a ten year deal.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Never.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (39:10):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. I got a
two best of the weekend. First, we brought our baby
home from the nick you so that's very exciting. Your
show got us through it even summer Fritzy's rhymetime. Second
best of the weekend, My Steelers won, Brownslues Bengals Louse
Ravens Lou's is a clean sweep for Steelers fans.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
And I don't I'm like Shay, I don't.
Speaker 14 (39:33):
Need heaters and side codes to get me through my Sunday.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Thank you, all right, David? Yeah, yeah, I watched some
of the Steelers game, you know, Aaron Rodd. I love
when Rogers rolls right and he always does that little
kind of throw off at his back foot, you know,
or heels, and he just kind of somehow flicks it
in there. It was nice. Everything's going well, you know,
(39:57):
not great, but then that's okay. All you got to
do is be good in the AFC Nord. Just be
good or don't be average, be just a little bit
above and you're gonna be fine. Ravens are a mess, though.
I can't pin all this on Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yes, Mormon, but then the Stills need to win a
playoff game. That is true, because all of it is
for not if they don't.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
That is true. Matt in South Bend, Hi, Matt, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 12 (40:25):
Hey? Good morning, Dan and Dan Edge. Thanks for taking
my call. All of South Bend is pumped up to
have you guys here this week, and I just wanted
to pay my debt on time. An as seat in
what flavor pie I need to bring so you can
give me the pie to the face. All right, seating,
you got a particular pie that you're gonna smash, Matt.
Speaker 9 (40:47):
Let's see what's in season right now? Is this more
of a pumpkin more of an apple situation?
Speaker 5 (40:53):
Apple?
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Blueberry's out?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Blueberry?
Speaker 9 (40:55):
Right, that's more of a summer pie. If I'm not mistaken,
Maybe we'll go pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Oh, I hate to do that to a pumpkin pie,
like you pick. I mean you had the bet with Matt,
so you want pumpkin.
Speaker 9 (41:07):
Yeah, sure, let's go pumpkin pie, all right, Matt, Matt,
my pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Matt, Matt, Matt's your little pumpkin all right, So pumpkin pie.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
We'll be in South ben on Thursday and Friday. Join us.
We'll be right outside Legends there right on campus. One
hour in the books, two more to go, Rick Neuheisel.
They'll talk about James Franklin being fired and also Bill Belichick.
He doesn't think we'll be around for season two. John
Smoltz will join us get us ready for playoff baseball
(41:45):
after this
