Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here on this program, thanks so much for joining us.
US of course includes the producer of the program, Cameron D. Parker,
that he on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, but
not much mention of Dallas these days, at least not
with respect to the team for whom his middle name
was bestowed. The Dallas Cowboys who are getting ready for
(00:21):
a trip to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers.
And you think the Panthers fan should be excited about this?
They are favored. Yeah, they are favored.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And it looks like the rest of the world is
just figuring that out because I've gotten like three notifications
about it, about them being favored and all that. It
tells you how much the media is paying attention to
the Cowboys and the Panthers as of now. It's Thursday.
Oh by the way, Yeah, the Panthers are favored in football. Yes,
that's how far Jerry Jones in the Dallas Cowboys franchise
(00:55):
has fun. I wonder I hope someone from the media
last Jerry, you know, hey, what do you think about
being the underdog to the Carolina freaking Panthers. I bet you.
Jerry couldn't name two players in the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well it is Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Jake lom and.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Moushi Mohammad, Yeah, Ray Caruth Oh wait he killed somebody.
Oh gosh, speaking of football, so and speaking of Jerry Jones.
One less candidate for Jerry to uh to consider if
(01:34):
if speak if cam, if he decides not to stick
with Mike McCarthy, because you know what people think you Byke, Yeah,
I mean Dak Chriscott says he ought to stick with
him like some of the Cowboys say, you ought to
stick with him?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Did just like Dak And because Dax endorsed it. Michael
Parsons adorsed it, Trake when the Dorset or do they
have money on the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I am alsodorse it. I don't know about that, Yeah,
but there were several who did. But if Jerry decides
to make a change, one less candidate is Bill Belichick.
He is officially the head football coach at the University
of North Carolina. And we do have his opening statement
to Craig that we can play on this show. Oh,
(02:19):
we're gonna We're gonna have to play that, Okay, all right.
His first words were not we we're on to uh,
we're on the Fordham No, you know who it would be.
We're on the TCU. Went with TCU next year. Oh man,
we're on the TCU.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Uh no. Uh. Do you think Bill Bochik could name
every single team in the a SEC right now? No?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Can you?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think so? Okay, but wait till you find out?
Was like, why are we going to SMU in December? Yeah,
they're in the ACC now they're in the Atlantic Coast Conference,
so they're methis. Yeah. You know this whole college football.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Realign where we played him at the Cowboys stadium. No, no, coach,
It'll be at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. There. So Bill
Belichick five year deal approved this morning by an emergency
Board of Trustees meeting. So he's had his news conference,
so we have to hear his opening statement.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
There Bill Belichick brushing his shoulders with donors and boosters
and board members. Yeah, oh man, I mean he only
had one guy to worry about New England, and he
pissed him off and he won how many rings? Five, six, six, six?
Him and his slum we're trying to push him out.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah. By the way, that's an NFL record six super
Bowls for the Patriots. He won two more under one coach.
He won two more as an assistant with the Giants.
He enters college football with three hundred and thirty three
NFL wins, just fourteen behind the all time record of
three forty seven set by Don Chula, that coach. But
(04:01):
he walked away from that. He acted like and said
he didn't really get a lot of interest from NFL team. See,
so that should also tell you something about perhaps even
if Jerry Jones had decided to make a change.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, I think you know, a lot of us are
surprised here or sitting in his chair that he would
not go back to the NFL. But I think a
lot of NFL owners are concerned about, you know, how
much control Belichick would want.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And if you're a GM, you don't want Belichick to
come in. You know, It's like, no, I don't want
him doing my job. You know, I want to do
my job and be able to find a different head
coach that would work with me. So that seems to
be the common issue. I mean, last year, Craig in Atlanta,
you know, it seemed like, oh, he's going to Atlanta,
and apparently he was like the third or fourth choice
for Arthur Blatt, you know, and it goes back to you, well,
(04:50):
you know, they worry about him having full control now
at u NC, you know, the head coach is also
the you know, he's also the GM, you know, so
the owner pretty much. And you know, he did bring
back Michael Lombardi as his GM, who was with them
in New England. And I think that Cleveland for a
little bit and has been doing a lot of sports
media stuff. So for for UNC, a lot of control
(05:12):
for Belichick, which is, you know, what he wants and
probably is not going to get from an NFL team
now after what happened at the end of the NFL
run there and what he did the Mac Jones. What
I am curious till Craig is did they figure out
what's going to happen with the son Steven, because it
did seem like par the agreement with him being able
to shoe in his son, Stephen Belichick, who is the
DC at Washington, the University of Washington, not the Commanders,
(05:35):
to take his spot after Belichick decides to step down.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, I think that's what everybody is kind of thinking
and expecting. So we'll see, we'll see how we'll see
how that rolls out all right? So that, by the way,
was not the only college football head coaching move. Rich
rod is back in Morgantown. M rich Rodriguez back at
(06:02):
West Virginia. He's at Jacksonville State. He was the head
coach at West Virginia from two thousand and one through
two thousand and seven. He had three straight ten win
campaigns and he beat Georgia and the Sugar Bowl in
those six round I think they blew them out if
memory correct. I may be wrong about that. I have
(06:24):
to go back and look at that. But they beat
Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. I may be thinking about
the the win that George had over Hawaii. Remember the
year Hawaii went to the Sugar Bowl. I think so
former quarterback Passaway Man I loved that team. Yeah, and
he had West Virginia right on the cusp of going
to the BCS National Championship game. And remember they lost
(06:46):
the backyard brawl to Pitt. I think it was like
thirteen to nine, and it kept him from going to
the National Championship. And it was pretty tense there after
that and he left. He went to Michigan and there
was a legal battle over his buyout. He is a
West Virginia native, and now he's back. He did a
(07:08):
heck of a job at Jacksonville State, he really did,
and they won, uh there back to back nine and
four seasons they won the conference. And remember this, this program,
this Jacksonville State pro is not that far removed from
being FCS. They haven't been you know, FBS that long.
Same thing like what Sam Houston is great. What Casey
(07:30):
Keeler did there getting them to the Conference USA, uh,
you know, right on the cusp of getting in the
championship game and they got in their first real, really
and truly full fledged available eligible bowl situation. They qualified
(07:50):
and they're going to the New Orleans Bowl. And then
of course coach Keeler left. He's gonna be a new
head football coach at Temple. But riche Rod did a
heck of a job at Jacksonville State and he now
takes over a school. It's in a different spot than
it was when he dominated. Remember when he was the
(08:11):
coach at West Virginia, they were in the Big East
and they were really doing well. They had Pat White
at quarterback. He had some really good teams. But since
they've joined the Big twelve. In twenty twelve, West Virginia
has had all of one ten win season, that's it,
and they haven't been in the AP poll in six years.
(08:36):
West Virginia has not been ranked in an AP pole
since twenty eighteen, so the program had fallen off quite
a bit.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And so now.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
In West Virginia also has not had one of the
larger NIL budgets. Supposedly that's going to change now, so
rich Rod is back back as the head coach at
West Virginia. May that'll mean something there. And then one
other coaching note. Did you see who UNLV hired? Yeah,
(09:08):
Dan Mullen as in College Football Final Dan Mullen, And
I did think that Florida got a little too antsy
and pulled the trigger on him a little too soon
after he'd left Mississippi State for Florida. And there was
all that talk about doing the same with Billy Napier
this year, and the Napier kind of flipped the script
a little bit, turned around, got some big wins, So
(09:30):
I think his seed has cooled now Napier's has, But
Dan Mullen, who Napier succeeded, is now the new head
coach at UNLV five year deal. They say he didn't
sign but expected to be signed here appreciating He last
coached three years ago at Florida, fired after four seasons.
(09:52):
He went thirty four and fifteen in four seasons. He
had an appearance in the SEC Championship Game and three
New Year Six Bowl games, and he got fired after that.
So prior to that, he coached nine seasons Mississippi State.
He's one O, three and sixty one over thirteen years.
Barry otom left UNLV. He did a heck of a
(10:14):
job there. As he makes his way back around to
power for status, he's the new head coach at Purdue.
Remember Otam had been at Missouri and then at UNLV.
Did a good job there. He went nineteen and eight
and two seasons. So and UNLV will play cow in
the I think they've changed the name of this bowl game.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Everything I read said it was the LA Bowl presented
by Gronk, So I thought, you know, like kind of
like used to be the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl and
all that other kind of stuff. Apparently the name of
this bowl game now is the the Art of Sport
LA Bowl. Next Wednesday, go back and change it. That's
(11:00):
that's awful art of sport LBA. I'm gonna need to
look into that and see that. So we'll just see anyway,
So Dan Mullen back in the coaching carousel, and he'll
be the coach at UNLV all right, coming up on
the program in the three o'clock hour. In the four
o'clock hour, we're gonna hear from Rodney Terry, long worn
men's basketball coach. Texas does play New Mexico State tonight.
(11:22):
You can hear the contest right here on AM thirteen
under the Zone, beginning at six thirty, tip off at seven.
It's also available on ninety eight point one FMK Vett
that six thirty year time, seven o'clock tip as Texas
plays New Mexico State. So next hour and in the
four o'clock hour, we'll hear from Rodney Terry from his
media zoom. Part of it in the three o'clock hour
(11:44):
and part of it at four o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
We'll do that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'll look back at the Texas women's win last night,
and we're gonna hear from sark As well. Tonight is
the College Football Awards show in Orlando. Last night, sark
was in Houston at the Touchdown Club of Houston presentation
of the Lombardi Award, which went to Calvin Banks, which
was great. And Al sark is in Orlando, and tonight's
a college football award show, so we're going to hear
(12:09):
from Steve Sarkisian as well. We do have Inconceivable this hour.
My own personal touch with Inconceivable via Fast Food was
renewed last night, and I have an update on all
of that in War when we continue on Sports Radio
