Speaker 3 (00:31):
Bill Cower, the Hall of Famer, will join us a
little later on the Steelers at defense did not show up,
but the Packers and Jordan Love certainly did in the
fourth quarter. Coach will join us coming up a little
bit later on more on college football. Andy Staples, our
good buddy on three sports as LSU surprise, surprise, not
(00:52):
to me fires. Brian Kelly. All right, we'll come up
with a poll question, play the day stat of the day.
Joe Flacco lost to the Jets, but we still have
the Flacco around and find out and you can still
get that T shirt at Dan Patrick dot com. And
you have until Wednesday and that was it because I
said to Seaton, Okay, they're playing the Jets. We can
(01:13):
leave it up there because they'll beat the Jets at
home and then they lose. So Seatan says, we will
have the Joe Flaco T shirt available at Danpatrick dot
com until Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
We tried, We tried, We tried. Horrible loss for the Bengals.
Horrible because all you got to do is kind of
stay five hundred ish and then maybe Joe Burrow comes back.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You have a chance.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Steelers lost, Brown's lost the Ravens and do not count
them out. It is crazy to say this, And if
you look at the schedule, you know they got winnable
games here. They can kind of get back to five hundred.
Now they have a game on Thursday. Here's my big question.
If you're the Ravens, do you let Lamar Jackson sit
(02:02):
one more game or do you have to have him
play on Thursday night against Miami get to that halfway
point in the season.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's a big decision.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Although I thought he was playing, and I think the
betters thought that he was playing. It went from six
and a half to I think one and a half
and then they ended up beating the Bears.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
First hour brought to you by Mako.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
They want to send you to Super Bowl Week and
you can also get a paint job and more. Go
to Danpatrick dot com a chance to win get official rules,
no purchase necessary, void in Alaska and Hawaii. So it
ends eleven three twenty five. You got to be eighteen
or older. But you can join us in San Francisco
(02:51):
and watch us do our show live. Okay, so busy
Sports Weekend, World Series Tight at the game Apiece Game
three coming up tonight, seatan what's the pole question from
the first hour of the program.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, as always, we usually start Monday off with who
had the worst weekend?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And we like to populate that.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I was just looking over I haven't put this list
together just yet, but it was a bad week for
second chance backups. Okay, I'm putting Kirk Cousins in that category.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Man. Raheem Morris might be on the warm seat here,
and Bijon Robinson didn't do anything. That's a tough team,
you know. Drake Lindon was banged up. I believe Michael
PENNOCKX Junior the third was out. Kirk cousins, oh Man
not good. Yeah, Seaton, you can't.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
That seems to be a like teen culture issue there, right,
you can't have that many name brand players, so to speak,
not perform.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It seems like we keep waiting for them.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah, okay, look at all these guys they got go
be good, go be good?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Not good? Who else is on the list?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, I would put Sam Darnold on the bad week
for second chance backups.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Uh, let's see, we also have weekends Sam, Yeah, not Sam,
don my bed no not Sam do uh forget about that.
I wrote that down wrong. I could jump to best
college football job opening right now.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
LSU, Penn State.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Florida other Okay, well, Brian Kelly had a bad week.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And uh, this is very snarky, but we had some
people reach out to Fritzie and ask if he was
going to get the Brian Kelly LSU clothes because Bryan,
Brian Kelly sent me his Notre Dame gear extra large,
and I gave him all to Fritzie.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I can make some room in the cloud.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So we got some.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
LSU gear there with Brian Kelly. That maybe maybe coming
your Todd, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
And everything's about comparisons.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Brian Kelly leaves Notre Dame because he couldn't win a
national title there. Notre Dame is doing very well in
the playoffs every year. It's always in comparison where you
left and what you're doing now.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yep, that's a big buy out.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That seems to be the rage here and this is
the new college football. There's going to be more of
this because if you're spending that kind of money on
your coach, that kind of money on your players, you
don't have the patience that you once did. And I
think that's what you're seeing. Whether it's Penn State or
LSU or Oklahoma State, they want to see what are
(05:37):
we doing?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And then you'll.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Get these teams like Arizona State or SMU or Indiana
and they kind of come out of nowhere and you're like,
wait a minute. I thought we were supposed to be
the blue blood powerhouse here. But Brian Kelly, it was
never a good fit. We talked about it. I think
I've talked about it just about every week. It felt
like there was something that was going to happen there
and not a good thing, and you.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Lose at home.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But sometimes it's where you lose and how much you
lose by and you get blown out by Texas A
and M. And if you're there and you're a Booster alumni,
it hurts even more. And you know your patients, Hey,
we're losing three games. You're the one who talked about
national championship. You're the one that talked about hey keeping
(06:24):
receipts here. Brian Kelly never fit there. There's certain places where,
especially in the SEC where you go that doesn't fit.
It doesn't mean he's not a good coach. He's proven
that that he's a really good coach. I think there
is this I don't like Brian Kelly because of his
personality or how he is on the sidelines or how
(06:47):
he is in a press conference.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
He's a good coach, but I think.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
There's people who look at him and they don't like
him because of his personality. Now, he didn't win big games,
and just ask James Franklin, you got to win those games,
especially at home. This was supposed to be a team
that was going to compete for a national championship or
at least be in the playoffs, and it just you
(07:13):
got three years. It feels like and I don't care
who you are. You got three years. I mean they
may run Dabbo Sweeney out of Clemson. I didn't think
that would ever happen. But James Franklin, Yeah, nice. Here's
some parting gifts. Brian Kelly. We gave you a chance.
Now we move on.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeahten.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It is weird because it does feel like there is
no scandal, there is no anything. We just don't like you.
It's like personality based with Brian Kelly. It kind of
feels like we just don't like you and how you are,
rather than there is.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
No cheating scandal. There is no other big blow up.
He didn't hit somebody he didn't like. There's no other
thing like that.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's just you eight seven to seven to three DP
show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP
show We always do every Monday best and Worst of
the weekend. The strengthened conditioning coach who was at LSU
I think for about twenty two to twenty three years.
Tommy Moffatt. He's the strengthened conditioning coach at Texas A
(08:15):
and M. During practice, apparently they had a picture of
Brian Kelly on a tackling dummy and so the strengthened
conditioning coach was very proud of what he did and
what A and M did at LSU. Brian Kelly let
him go. Okay, so phone calls coming up. By the way,
(08:37):
Fritzy's Broncos great performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Not that
you had anything to do with it, but congratulations.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I send them vibes through the TV.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I like to believe that you know the louder Ice
screaming act, that it affects the alchemyth You.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Got your Broncos gear on today so well.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
With the old retro stuff because that's the awesome helmet
in uniform.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
I know Paulie loves it too.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Seaton's here, Marv, Paulie yours true the Brgs as well.
We talked about this with the MVP in the NFL,
it's going to go to a quarterback. That's why they
came up with the Offensive Player of the Year, which
I hate. I think it's embarrassing. Is Jonathan Taylor the
MVP right now? Is he the most valuable player? Considering
(09:19):
what his team is doing and what he's doing. He's
averaging six yards to carry fourteen touchdowns on pace for
eighteen hundred yards, and you would be surprised where he
ranks in the MVP candidates on DraftKings. Your MVP right
now is Patrick Mahomes. His numbers aren't great. Now, do
(09:40):
I think they're still the best team in the AFC?
I do, even at a pedestrian four and three record.
Josh Allen is second, Drake may third, Baker Mayfield Junior third,
and Matthew Stafford, then Jared Goff, then Daniel Joe Owns,
(10:01):
then Jonathan Taylor. Okay, now this is Vegas. You know
this DraftKings and their odds here, but Jonathan Taylor is
the most valuable player right now in the NFL. It's
just we don't want to acknowledge the last time we
had an MVP was what five Adrian Peterson O six
(10:23):
Jonathan And we've seen running backs get two thousand yards
and it's like, yeah, okay, we're going to give it
to Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson in previous years. Jonathan
Taylor to me, is the leading candidate in my opinion
for MVP. But this is what I saw yesterday. You know,
he's leading candidate for Offensive Player of the Year. Like, okay,
(10:46):
that's that's what his job is offensively, he's the best
player offensively. Is he not eligible for the MVP? It's
sort of like a running back with a Heisman? Wait,
he is he allowed to win this?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Adrian Peterson won it in twenty twelve, but he needed
the story to come off the injury from the year before,
so he needed the bonus story. Tomlinson got it in
two thousand and six. Sean Alexander two thousand and five.
That's it for the past twenty.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Four Okay, Yeah, ap was in twenty twelve or twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
You said twenty twelve.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Okay, then Ladanian Tomlinson prior to that, but that's it.
That was a different NFL with Ladanian Tomlinson. Yeah, that
was surprising. But we keep using the offensive player of
the year, like Christian McCaffrey, Beyon, he's offensive Player of
the year.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Can he be most valuable?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And it doesn't feel like the voters that they're going
to acknowledge that. It's like running backs are the best
supporting actors. They can't win Best Actor, they can win
best Supporting Actor.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Yes, Paul, can we combine a vote for Jonathan Taylor
and Daniel Jones?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Like a combo platter for.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
MVA Jonathan Jones.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yes, and Daniel Jones is done really, really well And
the biggest thing is no turnovers.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's the key.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Daniel Jones can play, and he's playing at a higher
level than probably a lot of people thought. You got
a good offensive line, you've got a great running back,
and the Colts taking advantage of Okay, they got a
couple of breaks. You know, the game against the Broncos,
the game against the Chargers. Chargers were banged up, under manned,
(12:31):
but they still won those games. And you win on
the road against the Chargers, and yes, you'd still beat
a very good Broncos team.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, Marvin, But do you think Daniel Jones' reputation will
keep him from getting real MVP.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Bos Yes, yes, he's not gonna win MVP.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
He'd be the most random MVP ever, correct, besides Mark Mosley.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, well that was a kicker match.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
When you have the highest offense, highest scoring offense, and
we're going to give it to a kicker, a kicker, yes, smart.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
If the Cowboys made the playoffs, now better kicker would
be the MVP.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No Dak, no, dak.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I even saw a headline said, did Dak lose the
MVP by a subpar performance against the Broncos. I'm like, well,
we're really trying to get the Cowboys in the conversation
there and I Jerry Jones finally said uncle. He finally said, Okay,
maybe we don't have a good defense here. No, Jerry,
you do not have a good defense. That's why you
(13:30):
reached out to the Bengals for Trey Hendrickson and to
the Raiders for Max Crosby because you had Michaeh Parsons.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And that's the big difference here.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I truly thought with Micah Parsons they were a playoff team.
Without him, you can't score enough points. And going against Denver,
that Denver team is great defensively, although Patrick's Erten banged
up his shoulder, but you know, they they have the
most and they've bellowed the fewest sacks. It's a great
(14:03):
combo platter for the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Here. All right, we'll.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Settle on a pull question from the first hour, and
we'll get to your phone calls best and worst of
the weekend, as we always do, but more on the
Ryan Kelly situation and what is the best job opening
here in college football. We'll talk to Andy Staples from
on three Sports. Bill Kauer will stop by as well.

Comment away.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Seaton brought up Sam Darnold not having a good weekend,
and then during the commercial break he goes, no, I
meant to say Andy Dalton, and I said, Okay, that's
an honest mistake there. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I have a hard time for some reason separating those
two guys.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I really do well.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Sam has played pretty well this year, but Andy Dalton
got a little playing time.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
It didn't go well. Yeah, yeah, all right?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Eight seven seven to three DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. Andy Staples covers
college football for on three Sports. He was at the
Florida Gators game with Mississippi State Billy Napier's last game,
and he's got Penn State Ohio State coming up on Saturday.
But the big story is Brian Kelly at LSU. Could
(15:55):
Brian Kelly have kept his job for another week for
the LU Alabama gain?
Speaker 8 (16:03):
I mean, I don't know if he could have or not.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
The way they lost to Texas A and M, I
think the wheels were turning.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
There were multiple reports and we heard a.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Lot of different things about, you know, was he going
to make certain staff changes? Did he push back on
other staff changes? I don't think it mattered. I think
the way they lost to Texas A and M, they
were passing the hat essentially in the luxury suites during
the game, saying hey, can you help fund to buy out?
So it didn't matter at that point, and then you
(16:33):
know the governor gets involved. They have a meeting at
the governor's mansion last night, like what's the governor decides
you're fired.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
You're going to be fired.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Why was this doomed from the beginning?
Speaker 9 (16:44):
I you know, I just don't think Brian Kelly understood
the job he was taking. You go back to the
comments after the Florida game where he said the fans
are spoiled.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Well, of course they're spoiled.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
The last three coaches at LSU won national titles by
year four, but he made mistakes at the beginning, so
he gets there. He fires Tommy Moffett, their longtime strength coach.
Tommy Moffitt was the strength coach for Nick Saban for
Less Miles, for ed ors ron So for three national titles.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
And what does Tommy moffittt do?
Speaker 9 (17:16):
He goes and gets the job at Texas A and
M with Mike Elko and makes it his life mission
to create a tougher team than LSU.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
And what has happened the last two years.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
In the second half, Texas A and M has annihilated LSU.
When you don't recognize you have something special and there
are certain things that make the place special and you
just dump them right off the bat, you don't understand
what you've gotten yourself into.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What's Brian Kelly's future.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
I mean, he's sixty four years old, so he's told
people he wants to coach. My question is would he
take any of the jobs that will hire him right now?
And there's a duty to mitigate in his bio. So
he's got a fifty three million dollar buyout. If he
gets another job, the salary comes off the total for LSU.
It's interesting because I think, you know, depending on the interpretation,
(18:07):
the duty to mitigate sometimes is all almost like an
unemployment check, like you have to be looking for work.
So I think of the b Arthur scene in History
of the World Part one, Gladiator?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Did you did you kill today? Have you tried to
kill this week?
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Like?
Speaker 8 (18:20):
I think that may be more more what there is
to it.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
I mean, listen, Dan, if it were me and somebody
handed me fifty three million dollars to not work, you
would never ever see me again.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, but you can't leave the coaching world community fraternity
this way if, I mean, that's not the way these
guys are wired. You know, That's why I'm trying to
bring back Urban Meyer. We're trying to bring back Nick Saban.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You know, you keep.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Going, we are, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Do you'd think urban Meyer is open.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Is he entertaining the thought of maybe coaching at Penn State?
Speaker 8 (18:56):
I think he entertains it for a day or two
and then he thinks, man, that.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Was a lot of work.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
When I was a college football coach, I got a
pretty good gig at Fox Right.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Now, Oh, I agree the same thing with Saban. Everybody goes, look,
your first call should be Nick Saban, and I go
Nick Saban is not going to come out of retirement
to do this. The current landscape at college football sent
him to ESPN. But Sian Kelly at sixty four, I
can't believe this is his last act.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
It's going to be interesting because it probably will depend
on what sort of jobs he can get now. If
he winds up back at Central Michigan or that level
of job, which is a place he worked on his
way up, I just can't imagine him just taking that.
And so we'll see, there's gonna be a lot of
jobs open, Dan, So not just the big ones that
are open now, but you could see two Lane open,
(19:45):
you could see Memphis open because those coaches went into
other jobs.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Would Brian Kelly take one of those jobs?
Speaker 9 (19:51):
I don't know, And that's the tricky part, because I
don't think he's going to get hired for one of
these big ones, especially not after the way things went
an LS year.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Is Lane Kiffin today?
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Is he is the hottest name in the coaching carousel.
We were joking on my show last night the scene
in Breaking Bad where Huele just lays on the pile
of money.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
That's Lane Kiffin right now.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Because ole Miss wants to keep him, Florida wants him bad.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
He's Florida's first choice.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
I imagine LSU wants him to And if you're Lane,
until somebody hits the dollar figure you're looking for, you
just keep.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Milking this thing. Like, I don't know what he's going
to do.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
I don't know if he wants to stay at ole Miss,
if he wants to go to Florida, if he wants
to go to LSU. But I wouldn't do anything until
the cash register stops spinning.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
What do you think he will do?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
It's so hard to predict him, because you know, if
they'd lost to Oklahoma this weekend, you could envision maybe
ole Miss missing the playoff, Maybe he's available.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Maybe he says, oh, I can't make the playoff.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Here, there's probabably a ceiling that I need to go
somewhere else where there's a higher ceiling. But look after
they beat Oklahoma, you're look at the rest of their schedule.
They're probably going to go eleven and one. If they
lose something they shouldn't lose, they'll be ten and two
and they'll probably still make the playoff. So if you
can make the playoff, if you can compete for the
SEC title, you can win the national title at ole Miss.
(21:21):
So I don't know that there's a huge ceiling argument
between ole Miss and Florida and LSU. I think it
comes down to where do you want to work, And
then that's a different question, and I don't know if
I can answer that one. For Lane Kiffin, I think
that's going to be his personal preference. Rank the job
openings right now, LSU's number one, and then I'd say
(21:41):
Florida and Penn State are are kind of two and
two A. And the reason I say LSU's number one
and I went to Florida, so I get a lot
of heat at home for this. But LSU has had
three of their last four coaches win the national title.
One of those is Nick Saban so all time great coach?
Do we think less Mild and Odo oz Ron are
all time great coaches? I'm not sure about that, but
(22:04):
they both won national titles there Florida, Steve Spurrier won
a national title Urban Meyer one two. That is two
Hall of Fame head coaches. So at Florida you might
have to be a Hall of Fame head coach to
get there. At LSU, you don't necessarily have to be that.
And that's why I give them the nod. And in
Florida and Penn State, they're both programs where you can
win the national title. They're both programs where we can
(22:26):
be very, very successful, but there's going to be a
ton of pressure and they, like Florida has had a
quick hook. Think about this. You know since Urban Meyer
four coaches fired within four years. They do not tolerate
mediocrity at Florida. And the thing is you've got to
be pretty special to get above that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Talking Andy State, Polesey covers college football on three Sports.
It's Penn State in Ohio State. He'll be at that
game coming up on Saturday. What's Penn State do.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
It's a great question, Dan, because you know, the obvious
connection at first was Matt Ruhle, who's at Nebraska now.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
He worked with the Penn State A D.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Pat Kraft when he was the head coach at Temple
and Pat was the Temple ad. But I'm not sure
that Matt needs to move. I think Matt probably needs
to stay where he is in Nebraska. And then you
look at the landscape and there's not like an obvious
Lane Kiffin that Florida wants in LSU wants for Penn State.
So you can look at the guys that are having success,
(23:24):
Like I think people should look at Jeff Brohm at Louisville,
at Eli, Drinkwoitz at Missouri. Those are guys that have
taken situations where it shouldn't be that easy to win
and they've done really well. Like Jeff brom took Purdue
to the Big Ten championship game immediately made a Louisville better.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
So those are types of guys that should look at
Penn State. Should also look at Bob Chesney.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
If you want to look at Kurt Signetti and what
he did at Indiana, look at the profile he was
James Madison's head coach and before that he was Elon's
head coach. So he had this level by level get
better every time. It's kind of what Bob Chesney's done.
He went from holy Cross to James Madison. Very successful,
very good recruiter of the Northeast.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
So that's a guy you should look at.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
And I know James Madison sitting here going, oh, come on,
we just lost Signetty.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Please don't do this to us.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Could Penn State hire a Vanderbilt head coach? Could they
do that again?
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Clark Lee, Yeah, you know, I think you can do that.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
It's really interesting, Dan, because I hate the whole idea
of well, we can't hire a guy from the school
that we've hired from before, or we can't hire a
group of fivephead coach because we did that before. I
think enough time passed. And also I think James Franklin
was a successful hire at Penn State. He won them
a Big Ten title, he was there a long time,
(24:40):
so it's not like hiring the Vanderbilt coach again is.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
The same thing that you just did.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
And in fact, if it works out the way James
Franklin worked out.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
That's a good that's a good outcome. It's a good result.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
So yes, Clark Lee would be a very good choice
at Penn State. He'd be a very good choice at
LSU or Florida as well. But he's that is alma mater.
And that's what's interesting about this. There's a bunch of
good coaches right now at their alma mater. So it's
to take a little bit more to get like a
Clark Lee, a Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State, a Brent
Key at Georgia Tech.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Because they're they're at their alma maters.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
The impact on NIL with the coaches because these buyouts,
you know, patients is running thin. You've got three years,
it feels like. But the expectation level of we're going
to pay you ten million dollars, We're going to pay
your players a total of twenty one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This is the future.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I'm guessing with college football that this is the transfer
portal in NIL and the coaches, I would say paying
the price, but they get paid to pay the price.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
As I say, they're not paying the price, they're still
getting guaranteed gobs of money. Like what they need to
do is is the ads need to figure out how
to guarantee less money than they're guaranteeing now you shouldn't
have to pay as big of a buyout as you
did for Jimbo Fisher or James Franklin.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
Or Brian Kelly.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
That's the AD's fault for getting knocked in the creek
by an agent.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
The solution may be.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Actually, and the person who told me this actually works
with actors in Hollywood, and they said they had to
change the model when Netflix and the streaming services came
in because you didn't have residuals and mailbox money, so
they started front loading the contracts. And this person's like,
what they need to do is pay them an obscene
amount of money per year, guaranteed for three years. But
(26:29):
it doesn't need to be guaranteed for six or seven
years like they're doing now. Because it used to be
dan before the Anile era, you had to have four
years on your contract so you can go into mama's
house and be like, see, I'm going to be here
the entire time your son's here. And even though we
all know that was a lie, the players aren't stupid.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
They all have agents now.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
It doesn't matter how long you have on the coach's contract,
So offer them more money than they think they're going
to get, but guarantee it for three years. That way,
if they suck for two years, you can dump out.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I've been saying that.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I mean, Kurt Signetti is a great story. I never
would have given somebody ten years that's in a ninety
five million dollars It's crazy. I love he's done a
great job. I love it. But the most I would
ever give his five years. And even then, how about
I give you, like you know, actors get back end
money after a movie. Is his some residuals?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
What if I said to the coach, Hey, we're going
to give you a back end money on the profits
that we have with our football program.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
I don't know that you can sell a piece of
the program, especially at the state university. But think about this, Dan,
It's ninety five million dollars is how much they guaranteed
Kurt Signetti.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
If you paid him fifteen million.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
Dollars a year for three years, you're only guaranteeing in
forty five million. And if it works out, great, then
give them another deal. But if it doesn't, then you're
not tied up. And he would have taken that because
it had made him the highest paid coach.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Can Indiana win the national title?
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Yes, this Indiana team can. This Indiana team is loaded.
They got a bunch of NFL dudes Kurtsey that he
tried to tell us and we didn't listen. But they
brought back almost all of what made last year seem special.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
And then they.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Upgraded at quarterback when they got Fernanda Mendoza at cal
so they absolutely can compete with anybody.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Great to talk to you again, Andy, Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Andy Staples covers college football on three Sports. That was
a quick yes for Indiana Best and worst of the weekend.
Let's get started on this Monday. Buddha and San Francisco
leach us off.
Speaker 12 (28:25):
Good morning Buddha, Felice Lunas, dp els, Dennis Tomien Bamonos
for Sea Dan, real quick. I just gonna say, you
guys are talking about this last week. I get lost
in your greatness all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Dan.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
But on the last night DP, before the Packers and
the Steelers even kicked off, the Packers had already won.
I mean the Steelers uniforms they looked like some odd
combo of like traffic signage and like weird sand like
Sandy burning Man pants.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I was likeny it looked like they had khakis on.
You're not intimidating anybody when you come out there with
khaki football pants on.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
What else, Buddha uh.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
Best of the weekend DP my Dodgers Saturday Night and
our aceh Yo Shinobu yam a moto who went on
to do two complete back to back games and then
even bettered in He buzzed the tower and plucked cheating
towards Springer and even in the series Saturday Night and
then after that day, before he went to the locker room,
(29:31):
he nw what he did. He picked up and cleaned
up all the trash in the dugout. He's a good
ass dude, man. And worst of the weekend the dumpster
fire that was the Brian Kerry Kelly Arraw Damn. I
mean in LSU, I mean we all remember his quot
at the LSU basketball game before he had he'd even
coached a game like in his choppy Southern accent. And
(29:53):
I haven't even won all my games yet, and all
I got to say, we all know what ed Odern
is thinking about this whole situation.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
Not good.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Thank you, Buddha Yamamoto.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
First, pitcher to throw consecutive complete games in a postseason
since Hurt Schilling Diamondbacks. Shilling did it three consecutive games
for the Diamondbacks in the one Playoffs. Stat of the
(30:28):
Day brought to you by Banani America, the official trading
cards of the program. Ah, look who's back since his
Mets crap the bed. It's Bury in Long Island. Hey, Barry, good.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
Morning, Hello, good morning, chat bro. That's it quite a welcome.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Thank you very Give me your Jets. All right, I'll
listen to you.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Here's the thing. I wasn't going to call until they won,
and then yesterday morning, I figured, you know what, I
might not speak to the guys in that year, so
I'm gonna call anyway. And look what they did.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
They won.
Speaker 11 (31:06):
Yeah, it's a miracle, a little subdue j e Ts, Jets, Jets, Jets,
but you know, at least they won one. You know,
let's uh, let's get that number one pick and screw
him up too.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
All right, Well, thank you Berry. Yeah, give credit to
the Jets. And you know, justin fields they played. Well,
that's that's a loss where we're going to look back
at the end of the year with the Bengals and
go yeah once again if you missed the playoffs by
a game, just like the previous year, they lost at
home to the Patriots starting the season, he said, that's
(31:42):
going to cost him, Gonna cost him?
Speaker 10 (31:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (31:49):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (31:49):
What's update? I got an absolute worse of the weekend here?
My Steelers lose in dramatic fashion. The fighting Charlie Brown
outfit that they were last night. I guess the I
S paid defense on the payroll just doesn't work out anymore.
And then I got a quick Cowboys grocer Todd might
like the Cowboys went up to Denver and got hit
(32:12):
so hard it felt like ninety five again fitting since
that's the last time actually beat the Broncos. Mariah Carey
was number one on the Billboard charts for fantasy. Todd's
Broncos dropped forty four like it was mixtape released, and
the Cowboys defense looked more like dak trying to find
Oxtin at mile High. Without Micah Parsons. That defense couldn't
(32:33):
stop a shopping tart rolling down the hill. Last time
Dallas beat Denver, Frey Aikman was a quarterback Mariah was
running radio and Jerry Jones was still using a flip phone.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Thank you all righty, that's David. He crammed a lot
in there. We might have a suggestion for the Cowboys.
We'll take a break here. Our play of the day
is up next.

Speaker 8 (33:26):
Pump Swanz throws back at the end zone. Let's can listen.

(34:01):
Hall is the first non quarterback to throw a game
winning touchdown pass in the final two minutes or overtime
since two thousand and three. Three three.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Stat of
the day. Stat of the day here comes here.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
It comes that what stat of the day.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the program. You wouldn't have gotten that player. It's
Rod Gardner in two thousand and three, the last non
quarterback to throw a touchdown game winning touchdown pass in
the final two minute of the game or overtime or overtime.
By the way, Ryan Kelly was asked about his job
(34:53):
security on Saturday after the loss to Texas A and M.
Here's the question and the answer.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
Look, and cerned you have for yourself with the faith
of program should have for you.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
That's out of my hands on you know, it's impossible
for the head coach that's been here, you know for
four years and thirty five years of doing this.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
To think anything else.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
But this is my responsibility and we've got to get
it turned around.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, he won't get that opportunity. All right.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
We promised or hinted at a quick fix for the
Dallas Cowboys defense. They're putting up historical numbers. It's a
shame because the offense is really good. It's just the defense.
All they have to be is average. If they were
like sixteenth in the NFL. They're thirty first right now.
So the quick fix would be what Paul.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
The trade deadline is a week away. The Cowboys are
the leading scoring team in football. They made a mistake
by letting Micah Parsons go. They have two first round
drafts picks from the Packers. Ship those to the Cleveland
Browns for Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett is twenty nine years old,
in his prime, the best defensive player in football, under
contract for the next five years, and he's from Arlington, Texas.
(36:15):
He played high school football five.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Minutes from the stadium.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
Easy fix for both sides. The bonus, the Cleveland Browns
are going nowhere. They're not going anywhere this year, They're
not going anywhere next year. You get a lot of
value for Miles Garrett. You get draft picks, which you've
already piled a few with that other trade they made
during the draft, and you open up a lot of
caproom for your future.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, but the Browns don't have anything to go and watch.
And if I'm running a team, we're in the entertainment
business as well. I want you to have something that
you're going to go watch. If you get rid of
the only thing worth watching, then I wonder. And owners
are people showing up to witness my product? Like, that's
(36:56):
when you that's when it really hurts when these owners
are like, nobody's show up. They want that home revenue,
they want concessions, they want the season tickets, parking, all
of that. And if there'd be no reason to show
up unless you then said we're going to start shador
Sanders and you're going to have people maybe showing up
out of curiosity.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, im Polly.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
But Miles Garrett is Mike Trout five years ago with
the Anaheim Angels.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
With the La Angels, you.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Had this guy who's one of the first ballot Hall
of Famer playing irrelevant baseball, and you had a chance
to trade them. The Angels could have traded Mike Trout
five six years ago and gotten a haul, and they didn't.
And his career is going to be wasted. And I'm
not saying do it as a favorite of Miles Garrett.
But the Cowboys that would make a ton of sense.
They don't need draft picks, they need a guy now.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
But if you're the Cleveland Browns, would you trade the
best defensive player, a future Hall of Famer for two
first round draft picks?
Speaker 7 (37:51):
I probably would because we're not doing anything with him.
Yesterday was a microcosm of the Browns. One good guy playing,
you know, Joe Thomas. Joe Thomas about his time with
the Brons. It was first ballot, Uh wasted.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yeah, but Miles Garrett probably could have played for somebody else.
He chose to stay with the Cleveland brown.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
It's his own fault. He didn't.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
He tried to force a trade then took the big contract. Yes,
but I'm just saying right now, and I'm sure there's
cap issues.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
How were the Browns?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
I would say, like, look, he's max value still at
twenty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, but if you think you're close, then you keep.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
Him that they're not even close to close.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Well, they don't think they're close, you can't. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
They're at some point going to go to Shador Sanders
and you know, but I but as I said when
we started the year, I would have played Flacco for
the first month and then you got to see what
you have in these two draft picks. And then because
you do have those first round picks, Dylan Gabriel is
sort of to a tongue of Iolo alight, like it's
(38:58):
you know, left handed, not a strong arm. Does get
the ball out quick quick reads, they're all short passes.
And then let's see if Shudoor Sanders can play. I mean,
everybody seems to be clamoring for Shoudoor Sanders.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Now he was injured.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
I think of his third quarterback behind Bailey's appy.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
But maybe he gets.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
An opportunity and then you find out we have a
quarterback or we don't have a quarterback, and you still
have the Deshaun Watson situation. Is he going to be
able to play sometime later in the season. But I
don't know. If the Browns already helped out the Bengals
with Joe Flacco, you want to help out the Cowboys
(39:38):
with Miles Garrett.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
I would want to help out the Cowboys because they're
not in the AFC and they're probably going to screw
it up anyway. But the Browns right now had the
fourth pick of the draft. They have Jacksonville's pick, which
is twenty. You could snag the other draft pick from
the Cowboys, and now you're building a roster around Shoudoor.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
But those first round picks are going to be late
in the first round if you give them Miles Garrett. Yes,
now they're not as valuable.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
You do open up about a zillion dollars a cap room.
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (40:09):
I just think it's if the Browns are going nowhere.
I'll bet you if the Angels had to do over
six years ago, they would have traded Mike Trout.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Well, we talked about that.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Yeah, I said you should have traded show Heyo Tani
because he wasn't going to stay with the Angels.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Try to get something there.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
But yeah, Mike Trout's going to be one of those Wait,
Mike Trout and show Heyo Tani played on the same team.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah, you know, twenty years from now, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
They played on the same team. How many World Series
did they? They didn't even get to the playoffs? All right,
one hour in the books, two more to go. We'll
update the poll results. We'll talk to Bill Kawer. What
would coach Kauer be saying, thinking doing today with that
Steelers defense.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
That is very suspect. Right now, we'll talk to him
about that.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Stat of the Day has always brought you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program. Operator Tyler is
sitting by more of your phone calls, as we always
do every Monday, best and worst of the weekend. Todd's here,
Seatan's here, Marv, Paula yours truly hour two on this Monday,
(41:23):
right after this
