Making our way towards seven pm.We've talked to two guys so far.
The competition continues. We have talkedto Hank Bauer, We have talked to
Dicker the Kicker. I'm just gonnatake bars. I'm gonna find myself on
the eighteenth see if I can winthis thing. We are scheduled to talk
to Lad McConkey to Joe Alt.Yeah, our rookie. We have to
(01:34):
do our at least have to doat least two rookies, our rookie parade.
Yes, keep the tradition going.We are scheduled to potentially talk to
Jim Harbaugh potentially potentially, but itappears as I do not see anybody on
the eighteenth Green yet, which leadsme to believe that our plans may be
thwarted. We'll see Matt, butalas, Yeah, we can always figure
(01:55):
something out. Yes, we alwaysworks out. There is a pope.
I forgot to tell you, Matt. I talked to Isabelle over the weekend.
Yes, she had her birthday partyon Saturday and I had my birthday
party on Saturday, so I wasn'table to make it to her birthday party
because of my birthday party. Andshe, Oh, we had a few
things we talked about. You know, we have our next big event at
(02:15):
Boyna Park, right, and that'sJune the fourth. He's going to officially
be shared tomorrow, but we've beendoing the soft launch. Oh and mc
has started talking on a mic,So maybe they are. Maybe they are
approaching the eighteenth green. Now,maybe our competitors with a chance to win
this competition, this could be ouryear, are arriving. But I talked
(02:36):
to Isabelle and I was like,Izzy, we have an event really close
to you, you know, inBuena Park on the fourteenth, Like,
no, on the fourteenth, fourteenthyou And she said that she that's her
laundry day and she could not come. Well, you know, understandable,
nobody wants to warn thirty close.I felt bad because, like you,
(02:57):
she reached out and I say,well, it's graduation. I'm going.
And you know, we have avery close friend, his son is graduating.
I've got to go to graduation.It was my birthday party, Matt.
Yeah. Then she said she onlyhad six people show up, and
that made me very sad. Butthen I was like, I don't think
six people wuld show up to mybirthday party. I don't even throw a
party for myself. I don't wantto find out. It's like, so
I think maybe you did all right, so which is a pretty good number.
(03:21):
Yeah, she she said it's laundryday and she can't come. To
the event. So, considering howintense this competition is with the new rules
is instituted by Jim Harbaugh, I'ma little nervous that, like, are
you, they're going to get upsetthat we're distracting the competitors from winning the
individual champion. We got to doour show, Yeah, I know,
I mean we're here. I'm saying, I don't know if we got to
cut our volume because they're going tobe putting, or how this works.
(03:44):
Oh, if you want to tellCraig to do that. I'm not scared
of harbardy right, Hey, Josh, wouldn't be the first time I pissed
Al Harbaugh screaming on the radio whilehe's trying to do a walk for them
exactly. This whole life at Stanfordused to it. All Right, Look,
you want to do the top storyof the day. You think we
can slide it in, Matt,I mean I don't want to be I
don't I don't know what to do. I mean I can sit here and
do whatever you want. We can, Yeah, we can. Why not?
It's it's do you want to talkabout? It's attack Lebron time.
(04:06):
So I think we should probably bethat, right, if you want to
attack Lebron, that's a horse ofa different color. Wait, why not
if they show up in the middleof attacking Lebron, so be it.
But that's what we do on thisshow. Hey, Jim, you don't
like Lebron? Right? Actually,I think he's one of the great people
in the history of the world.All right, Jim, he's great,
He's fantastic. However, we don'tlike the fact that he's hijacking our once
(04:28):
proud organization and trying to run itinto the ground. Uh again, this
is simply since everyone is trying toget ahead of this. I don't like
it. We we reiterate here onp I feel as though as Lebron is
trying to take ownership of the Lakersand make it an organization run by him
for him, all about him,to benefit he and his family. Exactly
(04:50):
right. For it's but it's butit's uh, it's full bowl, is
what it is. Yeah, fullbull. I'm tired of Lebron late,
Judas exactly right, and the knifein everybody's back and everyone Yeah mconkie,
Yeah, Alton McConkie together, lookat those two. They're going to join
us in a little bit and welove those guys like the Abbit and Costello
(05:11):
the twenty first century. They haveno idea what that means. It's fine,
it's the mutton, Jeff. Theyhave no idea what that is,
Lomona. Everybody's trying to take ourchain. That's right, leave my chain
on my neck. This is ourchain. That Lebron's a piece of crap
is our chain. It's in ourtown, it's on our watch, starting
(05:31):
to spread, It's started to spreadeverywhere. Then everybody knows what Judas exactly
right, le Judas. Everybody istrying to sink their teeth into the fact
that Lebron is is. It's nottransparent. It's so transparent. You're trying
to be all cool and have allyour minions in the media plant these seeds
of yeah, I don't really carewho's doesn't care who's evolved, and give
(05:53):
a damn. He's not involved inthe coaching search all. Now everyone's like,
well, it clearly is right.Then I went through it. The
Lakers hired Darvin Ham on May twentyseventh, Okay, and it was considered
an elongated search that many questioned,why did it take so long? They
hired Frank Vogel on May thirteenth,May thirteenth, Dave May thirteenth, which
(06:18):
is a while back. I meanit's June third. Luke Walton was hired
on April twenty ninth. Those aretheir last three head coaching hires. That's
two months ago. April twenty ninth, May thirteenth and May twenty seventh.
June the third, David June thethird is where we are at. Is
(06:39):
it more likely that James Barregol,who could have been hired three weeks ago,
would have been hired three weeks ago? Is it more likely that Kenny
Atkinson is going to be hired,who could have been hired three weeks ago
and is now interviewing with the ClevelandCavaliers. Is it more likely that Chris
Quinn, an assistant with the MiamiEID, who could have been hired ago,
(07:00):
is going to be hired? Ordo we maybe think because the NBA
Finals are going on and someone's gota contract with the ESPN that he needs
to honor because he is part ofthe A team with Doris Burke and Mike
Breen And it's borderline unlistenable And Ifeel bad saying that I never thought I
Look, I've we've always talked abouthow much we love Jeff van Gundy,
(07:23):
but I really missed the back andforth with Mark Jackson. And I never
thought I would say that what happened, But listening to this broadcast, as
as JJ tries to insert, thatwas that was the what happened there was
the four was supposed to come upand block at the elbow, and it
was a it was a it wasa pick and pop, but that he
didn't pop, and study rolled andthen the guy peeled and it was three
(07:45):
experts, lifeless and pretentious. Exactlyright. Hey, how about some Jeff.
How about Jeff van gunned? Hegiven Mark Jackson the business? How
about a little bit of that?Exactly right, give me some of the
old hits. Uh wow, lookat him. Run to make sure they
get photos of the individuals coming upto the green. Oh wow, I
think this this contest is about goingbut hey, hey, those are our
(08:09):
this is our attack. Okay,you're not allowed to you're not allowed to
get in on this. Well,but you have waited too long, and
now that it's become popular to attackLebron because Bron is going to be drafted
by the Lakers, and JJ Redicksand be hired as an AAD coach.
We're like, where have you been? Want to We've been here the whole
time. We want our opinion tobe the mainstream opinion, though do we
do? But I feel like,where have you been? This is like
the This is like the the bighubbub that I did not see, but
(08:33):
it's all the news, like allthe regular hard news outlets have managed to
sink their their hooks into the stephenA. Smith got called out by McNutt
on First Take today because he waslike, oh, I've been all about
the w NBA and she went crazy. She's like, and about the WNBA,
where were you three years ago?Is that dog? No? McNutt
(08:54):
is their name? Mcnutts? Iheard Chiny and Kendrick Perkins they went at
Itrick Perkins was like, Pat,you guys got it. You guys got
it. You're looking it up.Ye. Her name's McNutt, right,
and Pat McAfee is it Monica McNuttwhen it's Steve and A for saying,
don't you try to claim the WNBAwith this, Caitlin Clark bs, We've
been talking about it for years andnow all of a sudden, you're Johnny
(09:16):
cum lately, you're some WNBA guywho you think you are. I saw
Chiny and Kendrick talking about the WNB. I missed that, and this is
what's happening with us in Lebron.It's like, no, no, no,
you don't get to glorify this guyand talk about how he's the goat.
Oh he's the greatest. Ever whenyou do appreciate him, he's getting
old. Make sure we milk everylast minute of his greatness out of him.
And now I don't have his waywith his son stuff exactly right.
(09:37):
And now all of a sudden,everyone's just flipped one hundred and eighty degrees.
Oh, Lakers would have hired acoach by now you know it's JJ
Reddick. And this is not gonnasit well with the players. This is
much like that today I saw theycompared it to Doc Rivers bringing in Austin
Rivers destroyed the locker room. Everybodylooked at him like, why is this
guy getting thirty five million bucks?We had a great chemistry. This guy
rolls in blew it to hell,and Austin Rivers could at least play little
(10:00):
exactly right. So now everybody's saying, oh, they're gonna draft Browny at
fifty five, They're gonna hire JJReddick. It's the Lebron shows, and
it's our pushback exactly right, thisis ours? How dare you don't dare
try to take it to us?And you know what I was like,
if somebody tries to join your protest, you're like, hey, you're not
really into this. All of theseuh, it's it's all this NBA history
(10:22):
that's now starting to come out.Like remember when Lebron tried to trade Kyrie
and then then stretched out he decidedto leave, and Dan Gilbert was holding
the bag exactly and then I thoughtabout this today and now, and then
what else did I see today?Remember when Lebron forced the Miami Heat to
draft Shabaz Napier because he demanded thatShabaz Napier, after a spirited run with
(10:46):
Yukon, be drafted by pat Riley, who was like, I guess we'll
draft Schabaz Napier And he was cuthalfway first season. I love I love,
Yeah, tweeted, we gotta getthis guy. This is exactly what
the Miami Heat need. And theyhalf the guy and he gets all pissed.
Yes, we've been doing this forthree years. This is ours.
This guy's the worst, exactly right. Don't come in, don't come in
(11:09):
and try to take this from us. You've been, as you like to
say, washing this guy's balls foryears, years, decade, with literal
decades, and now all of asudden, it's the fashion, it's the
in fashion thing to pile on andget after him. For the JJ Reddick
high that's inevitably gonna happen in tendays. For drafting Brownie James, it's
going to inevitably happen in three weeks, and they're gonna continue to pile up
(11:33):
being drawn though exactly. I mean, you're gonna be on one side of
this or the other. You're gonnabe on the late Judas side or the
side of Jesus Christ and Rich Paulexactly right, Rich Paul, lead Judas
or us in Christ. Choose yourisland on which to die. Why don't
the Lakers just take him at seventeen? Somebody else might get him, and
(11:54):
then they get Lebron might as well. Might as well just do it.
Draft JJ. He's so likable,he's gonna be great with the media.
Matt, I got a text thatsays this, These young Chargers must be
freaking out here, and do youguys bash Lebron? James, Joe Walt,
Hey McConkey. If they can bashLebron, what are they gonna do
(12:15):
to us? Exactly right, mconkey, I don't know, Joe. We
ain't in Georgia. No mo themdogs radios guys loved us. These guys
are playing hardball. Welcome to reality, Yeah, welcome you. You think
you are am radio in Los Angeles. Damn they treat Lebron, Jenny the
(12:35):
idea? What what kind of powerwe wheel? Lad? What are they
gonna do to us? I can'teven imagine that. When do you get
a load of pete noon? Oh, the competitors are coming. We better
take a break. Then the competitorsare coming. Yeah, I don't want
those people talking about Lebron. KeepLebron's name out of your mouth. If
(12:58):
you're his parents, we're the onlyones to disparage you. Exactly right.
This is our fight. When thatfruit is ripe, we'll be the one
to pi. Is our fight,and we'll fight it. Damn it,
it's our fruit to pick. Thanksfor listening. We'll think they are tournament

Monday on the Petro said Money Show. It's not a real meet A lot

And don't forget Dodger talked tonight withthe one and only Tim Kats on
Anti seventy LA Sports that starts atseven. But Matt joining us right now
on your Southern California Toyota Dealer CelebrityHotline. It's coach Mark Tressman, the
(14:46):
great Canadian football legend and offensive genius, and we are going to talk about
offense and we're going to talk aboutpro football and longtime coach in the CFL
and NFL. I bet he knowsour friend Mike Riley. He won three
Great Cup Championships in the CFL,two times CFL Coach of the Year,
and a heck of a guy nowhere in Southern California, Coach trustmen,
(15:09):
welcome and how are you. I'mluckiest guy in the world. That's about
I can tell you what's it beenlike here? You've been joining Ussel,
It's been awesome. Jim's been great. LA is fantastic. Uh So you
got your Dodger hat. We're onthe Dodger Station. Yeah, doing good,
appropriate, well done. I leftmy charger stuff back at the locker
room. I didn't didn't bring itwith me. It's great to be with
(15:30):
both of you. Thank you forhaving me today. How how do you
know, Coach Harbaugh? How farback do you guys go? We go
back, it'll be twenty two years. I was coordinator for the Raiders back
in two and Jim Caman his firstyear coaching, and that's where we connected,
right before he took the USD job. That's correct. We were there
together two oh three. I wasthere one to oh three, he was
(15:52):
there two oh three, and thenhe took the San Diego job. Yeah.
I remember somebody asked him a questionabout, you know, what he
was going to do, and hesaid, well, you know, I'm
gonna coach foot and until I die, uh you know, And and he
was very was he was he thatthat it looked like he had that kind
of drive to be the coach thathe is now. Hundred percent we had.
You know, today, we haveso many quality control guys that work
(16:15):
with us. He was our onlyguy and we would put in one hundred
and twenty five passes a week,and he had a draw all he slept
under his desk when he was ayard off on on on the depths of
the routes. He would take itback, put it, you know,
redo it. Uh l Davis thoughtthe world of him and and could see
it in more more than any ofus. And uh uh he saw the
(16:37):
future head coach that Jim is todayand and I was just lucky to cross
pass with him at that time.Well, so, you know, coaching
is strange, right, just thejourneys that everybody takes, and yours may
be one of the most you know, circuitous of anyone we get to talk
to. Because success here, successup north, success back here, success
back up north. What what islife like as a coach when when you
(16:59):
know that that's kind of the paththat's in front of you. Well,
you know, you mentioned success alot, but my greatest learning experience is
with the With the was the adversitythat I had along the way. It
wasn't always an easy road. Therewas a lot of good things that happened
along the way, and there was, as I always say, the inevitability
of adversity happens throughout a coaching careerand throughout the week of a season,
throughout a game and it teaches youto be resilient and embrace adversity. And
(17:22):
also the other side of it asyou talk about success is you know you
got to stay humble in success becauseyou know it's just not about you.
It's about all the people that liftyou up and that are surrounding that's around
you. Because it's the most asyou guys know, you your your sports
fanatics and you love the game isis it's all interconnected. Everybody's connected directly
or indirectly with everything that goes onduring the day and at our facility and
(17:45):
just exciting to be with Jim andthe and in the organization be a small
part of it. The great MarkPressman is our guest Chargers senior offensive analyst.
You know, in college football watchingthe games and watching them coaching and
you see them work with space andpace, and then the NFL, you
know, there's not there's not verya lot of people are realized there's really
not that many places you can gowith the way the ash Barks are Canadian
(18:08):
football, that the field dimensions area little different. You know, how
does that affect how you call agame, the way you see a game
offensively? Because that's not something alot of people consider. Yeah, well,
you know, after coaching for fifteenor eighteen years in the NFL,
I went to the CFL, right, and what I found out is in
what I learned along the way isyou want to get as much as you
(18:29):
can on first down. So inthe CFL, because it's three down leagues,
I just looked at it as beingsecond and ten. And it's a
great league. It's a great game. It's completely different in so many respects
outside of the box, but itwas very intelligently put together. It's an
exciting game, and it was funto coach, and players are the same
up there as they are down herein the NFL. Inside the box is
(18:52):
a similar game, similar game,you know, the blitzing and things like
that. We get outside the box. There's so much more room. It's
you know, the field of sixtyfive yards wide, it's one hundred and
twenty yards long. Offensive defensive line, our yard off the ball. That
makes a huge difference. And there'sso many more unique, well thought out
aspects of the game that are differentfrom our game down here, but make
(19:12):
it a great game up there.How you know, we were talking before
you came on just being able tocoach at the U at the peak of
Miami, being a head coach foryou know, one of the most proud
franchises in the history of the NFLand the Bears, and winning great Cups
for proud franchises in the CFL.Is there something Is there anything different about
(19:32):
those programs when they are at thepeak and they are kind of the center
of the football world. You know, when you're coaching there, you really
don't think about it. You know, what I think about is how can
I improve the life of the peoplethat I'm engaged with each and every day
when they're in I always say,when they're in my airspace, I'm always
trying to do things to serve them, to help them be you know,
better husbands, father's teammates, anduse the science of football, which I
(19:56):
have expertise in as a coach,and use that comp but in seed to
do what I really want to do, and that's helped them grow to be
better versions of their cells and inturn, I think that leads to winning.
You hear that in football more thananywhere else. It's it's interesting,
you know, it's you hear itin bad but football seems to be that.
It's it's more it seems like it'smore of a community. Is that
(20:17):
because of the way the game isplayed, how reliant you are upon the
guy next to you. Well,I think that the game draws, truly
draws so many different people from somany places. The entire spectrum of humanity
is in a locker room, andit's the head coaches and the organization's responsibility
and the coaches to bring them alltogether and because and make them realize that
(20:38):
they all are clearly directly or indirectlyresponsible. And when they feel that way,
it creates a sense of urgency throughoutand it really kind of creates a
wave that it can extend right throughthe organization when you get when you when
you start moving in the right direction. We're going to talk to a few
of the rookies. We always doevery year when we're out here, and
(21:00):
it's very interesting the balance in theNFL between being a developmental league, right
and having guys that really know whatthey're doing as professionals to go out there
and represent you, your offense andyour team every week. How do you
balance that out, especially trying tocompete all season long and get guys better
as you're going. Yeah, Ithink we all start with fundamentals. I
mean, it doesn't really matter whatyear they are in the league. We
(21:23):
still start in the same place.It's whether your first year player or a
twelve year player. We're still teachingthe same fundamentals, and we build on
those fundamentals and then try to createchaos around those fundamentals to get them ready
to play the game. Interesting whenit comes to the rookies and what you're
able to put on their plate,it's because it feels like the game has
become more complicated, has it.Are these guys asked to do more or
(21:48):
understand what they are It's a differentI mean, some of these guys have
never been in a huddle. Someof these guys have never heard a quarterback
call a play. It's a completelydifferent dynamic in the NFL than it is
in college football, generally speaking.And these guys got to learn how to
get in out of thehuddle. Theygot to get lined up. They don't
always line up on the on theon the side, left side of the
(22:08):
field or the right side of thefield. We're moving them around. Everybody's
we're shifting, we're motioning we're doingall these things. The language is complex.
It takes a lot more time andeffort for them to learn what not
every team, but most teams aretrying to accomplish in the league. They're
trying to create, you know,create a you know, make things look
complicated offensively, but still create simplicityso they can get it done in the
(22:32):
chaos and speed of the game.Last thing that you know, we kind
of know the way Jim Harby's playedfootball everywhere he's been, and it's not
necessarily the way they're playing football,at least across most of the thirty two
teams in the NFL. What doyou what do you make of that kind
of that philosophy and what the leaguehas become and how you know that that
style of offense is still very viable. You know, I think the offenses
(22:52):
are what you want to make ofit, you know, they and we'll
just have to see. I thinkJim is you know, wants to be
able to throw the ball when hewants to throw the ball and run it.
I think that, you know,college football is a little different,
but I think that at the atthe end of the day, you know,
we're going to do what we canto be an effective running football team.
You know, that's that's Greg's partof Greg's uh, you know,
(23:14):
genealogy so to speak, if that'sthe right word, and and gyms,
and I think we start that way. And I've always felt and probably throwing
the ball as much as anybody throughoutthe years, is that you still want
to start your your offense still startswith a physical running football team. When
you can be physical running the football, I think that just reflects and everything
else you're able to do. AndI think you know, all the teams
in the league that that are atthe top of the league each and every
(23:37):
year, they can run the ball, and they can run it when they
want to run it, which isthe most important time to be able to
do it. You got to runit when you want to run exactly right,
just run it when you don't wantto run it. Yeah, it's
my pleasure. You guys are awesome, And thanks for having me on this.
Thank you very much, Thank you. Pleasure to be here anytime.
(23:59):
Thanks, thank you. All right, So we're taking on Harbor next there.
I think Joe Ortiz is coming onright now. Oh, you're just
gonna come sit down right in betweenus and knock it out as Derwin's leaving.
Nice meeting you by directly. You'relooking good. Most pans are pretty
tight. I mean, geez,let's meetup all right, Matt. We
(24:22):
got the GM the second time we'veever talked to Joe Ortiz. We're happy
to have him. We talked tohim during the draft. He was very
focused on the draft. Yes,and today the team has been drafted.
Today is about charity and fun anddiving into the offseason and the summertime.
It's great to have you on theSouthern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline. How's
your day been? Harbaugh? Reallymix it all up and making weird what
(24:45):
happened? It was great? Itwas It's a really neat format. You
know, we play thirteen holes ofteam golf and then it's an individual ball
in on the last four and yougot to make double bogie and then bogie
and then parr part to qualify andthen a little tight down U yeah,
you know, pro guys coming backlike they've seen a ghost exactly right.
We uh yeah. I got alittle nervous out there. On my second
(25:07):
hole. I had a two puttfor Bogey and I you know, I
felt myself tightening up really yeah.You know, did you make it to
the team, No, no,no, I got I got eliminated on
the third hole. I need tomake par or whatever. So it's a
good effort. Yeah, it wasfun. It is uh, it's competition,
and it seems to be the themeof coach Arbu that it is all
about competition all the time. Itjust really it made it a lot of
fun. Like we're competing as ateam, you know, our foursome five
(25:30):
so and then all of a sudden, all right, we're all on our
own ball and playing it in andyou know, everyone got got a chance
to compete as an individual. Soit was a lot of fun. We
have, Uh, we're gonna haveLad McConkey and Joe Alton and a little
bigger first and second round pick.When when you're scouting players, how how
important is it to see him aperson? When when you see joelt walking,
it's like seeing a different human being. It's it's so different than anybody
(25:52):
else, like a ship come in. Yeah, he's huge. You know,
it is important to see him.You know, you get opportunities going
schools and and see him during thefall, uh, and then obviously the
Senior Bowl and the multiple multiple AllStar Games and then the combine. So
it's just great to get eyes onthem and see what they look like.
They look like a pro, apro player, you know. And Joe
obviously he looks different than a lotof a lot of players. You know,
(26:15):
he's so massive. We were justtalking about coach with coach trustmit about
you know, the balance between development, uh at this level and being ready
to play. You know, howdoes that how does that work and how
does that work in this franchise underyou guys, because because you always want
to be developing people no matter whatlevel. Absolutely. I mean you look
at a seventh year player versus arookie, you know, you're there's always
(26:37):
something you can work on and improve, and I think our coaches are they
take that approach with all the players, and uh, it's it's really fun
and special to watch. And thenyou see the players, you know,
they're wanting to get better, youknow, the vets they're they're looking for,
you know, to be taught newthings. And and then they're taking
what they know and they're teaching theyoung guys and uh, you know,
I think every player has a levelof development then they needs to be done.
(26:59):
But they're doing a great job incollege is now getting guys ready and
and so a lot of these guyscan come in and compete right away.
You just signed Alex Leatherwood. Aweek before that, you had another player
signed. I think I was anundrafted free agent if I remember, right
at a wake, I think yousigned Chris Chris Collins. It never stops,
right, Yeah, it never does. It never does. Like every
week you're constantly churning, searching.How important is that, like just in
(27:22):
terms of because I look at Alexother when I'm thinking, okay, well
you kind of start winding up theoffensive lineman, You're like, I guess
I could kind of see him slottinghere. It seems like it's something that
is constantly happened, always always lookingto always looking to create competition. La
coach says, you know, wewere competitors, welcome and we get a
chance to get a player like Alexto come in and you know, he's
got a veteran experience and he hastalent. You know, just come in
(27:44):
and see what you can do here. And but yeah, our scouts are
pro scouts you know our college guysthat are working on next year, but
our pro guys are looking at guyson the street always, Hey, who
can help us improve and compete andmake make the depth of the roster better.
You've built a few football teams,have been part of a lot of
success over the years, and thisis an interesting time of year for any
(28:07):
football team at any level. Obviously, you guys know what you're doing,
but when does the identity of ateam kind of reveal itself to you and
the head coach. Is it somethingyou can create in the offseason or is
it something that has to develop whenthe guys put the pads on and the
real stuff start. I think Ithink you come in with what you want
to establish as an identity, butyou just build towards it and build and
(28:27):
build and build, and you know, it shows itself when we get out
there on Sundays. You know,and you know when our guys get out
there, you're going to see atough, physical football team that loves one
another, place for one another,in plays for the organization. And you're
already seeing it. You know.The guys are all around you. We
have so much participation in the offseason program from everybody. It's it's really
cool to see last thing for you, Joe, You've been here for long
(28:51):
enough. Now settle in your family, guys, yes, weeks Yeah,
kids that are playing sports. Havehave you settled in? Are they on
travel teams? Like? What dowe got go? What's what's going on
in the world family? Yeah,so they're still they're still in Maryland.
It's tough. It's people, wellyou know they are, but it's their
school. They just finished three ofmy my oldest three just finished last week.
(29:12):
My youngest finishes this week, andbut then they have travel and so
that it'll be a challenge, youknow, getting them out here. They'll
be here in July and hopefully sooner. Some will come sooner. But it's
it's been fun. My oldest twofinished their their last season together, their
first and last season together in varsityand playing together on baseball. They went
(29:36):
to McDonough and and so we wewe got knocked out in the finals,
but you know, it was agreat run. It was fun to watch
them both play. And then,uh, Jamie's finished lacrosse next this weekend,
and Julian's into his travel ball.So you know, my wife Jennifer,
she's everywhere, you know, anduh, and but we're slowly but
surely going to get them out here. And uh, I think July.
(29:56):
There's a week in July where wecan move everyone out here. And then
my son Jack goes back to theEast Coast for some more travel baseball.
So we got a hunger to beatthe family. Yeah, exactly right,
Yeah, I miss him. It'sit's leading up to the draft. I
didn't worry, you know that You'rejust going, going, going, and
then once the drafts overs, like, Hi, I need my family,
you know, but they'll get outhere soon. Thanky for you. You
(30:18):

show joining us right now on theToyota Southern California Dealers Celebrity Hotline. A
(31:29):
man that we know and respect.We knowed him a long time and one
of the most intriguing personalities in thesport of football for the last twenty plus
years. And I felt that waywhen he was the coach at USD and
developing that program, and he cameup to the Pac ten and started doing
what he's doing, and he's doingit here now. For the outside,
I feel like I'm back in twothousand and seven, two thousand and eight.
(31:52):
I feel like getting in his Yeah, let's go the great Jim Harbaugh
hero to the people. Feel likeI'm having a production meeting with Petro Sabadaca
Harry Tompkins for a big USCCT andyou take it to them. You ran
the power at him, maybe aboutfive hundred times. You're the best.
Petros. It's wonderful to have youhere, and it's great to be you
(32:13):
or a restaurant in Manhattan Beach.No, Petro, that's a different guy.
My father owned a restaurant here inSan Pedro. That guy is an
old Greek. Now I used toown a bikini shop that my sister in
law worked at, but we arenot related. But his mother has a
great recipe for off Galomino soup,the lemon soup that they serve there.
Yeah, they have, they haveeverything, and I like the one thing
that Petros they have. The wallsare bear you know, like at a
(32:36):
Greek village restaurant. Yes, Sarahand I ate there last night. It
was outstanding. Now, are youenjoying Southern California? You're very much.
You've been in California a lot inyour life in your work, but this
is San Diego in the Bay Area. I've never lived in La and uh,
you know, it couldn't be couldn'tbe better. I mean they say
the Midwest people are nice and welcoming. They they have nothing on southern California,
Manhattan Beach, the South Bay,Los Angeles. Uh know, it's
(33:00):
just been eight plus plus. Iknow. They they did a big piece
and Chargers social Media and digital teamdoes a bang up job on what you
were doing in Huntington and your experiencesis Jim Rockford. But I haven't heard
whether or not you enjoyed, Like, how was it? How long?
Everything you wanted it to be?It was? It was everything and more.
I mean you you take over anew job and you just you got
(33:21):
to get to work. You know, you got to get in there and
you know, start working at youknow, fourteen sixteen hours a day,
and h it really allowed me todo it. And I would also say
the simple life is the best life. It's just it's just not in the
cards for for me. And thenwhen my wife showed up, there's no
more, no more RV. Wemoved into a rental place in Manhattan Beach.
(33:43):
We're loving it. Jack's my son. Jack's been on a baseball team,
uh since late March, and uhyeah, just everybody's just getting into
the community. We're getting into theschools and uh and and and most importantly,
well that's as important as a youknow, with the family to me.
But uh Chargers football. UH guyshave been crushing it all off season,
(34:07):
just doing an incredible job, reallycreating an edge for us with the
way they're working. And if wecan keep keep that going, then the
edge is gonna get even bigger.I would Uh. I was out of
OTAs last week and got a chanceto watch the ot period or the fourth
I don't know if you got alittle T period or fourth quarter quarter finish,
Yeah, fourth quarter finish, anduh I watched you throw the belt
(34:29):
on. It looks like what aboutone hundred and fiftye hundred and thirty five
hundred fifty pounds on that sled andyou're pulling it with the guys as well.
Three hundred pounds three Yeah, thosethose are three one d punds.
I thought there were three forty.No, those aren't forty five. I
sold you horribly short. Three hundredpounds. That's okay. I hope I'm
not sharing state secrets. Yeah,some of those guys, some of those
guys are doing four hundred, fivehundred pounds, so some got four and
(34:52):
five plates. Share us share U'sthe idea behind. You know that you
got a whole day of practice andas soon as it looks like they're done,
we got like fifteen more minutes ofthis stuff. Yeah, I mean,
it's the it's the NFL. Imean, fifty percent of the games
come down to one drive, right, and uh it's it's really a fifty
six fifty six minute game and thenat two minutes at the end of the
(35:13):
half and two minutes at the endof the game. It's like two separate
games fifty eight minutes in the inthe last two minutes because all the games
are pretty much one possession games.So uh, yeah, the guys,
the guy's been attacking it. Andyeah, like I said, you know,
so far, so good. Theguys have been incredible. Justin Herbert,
I mean, great player, tremendous, tremendous worker, Derwin James,
(35:35):
tremendous worker, and then Kalo Mackand Joey Bosa they're there, but I
could I could go through, uheighty six more names. Uh, you
know, just been just been atremendous thrill to be around these Warriors.
Uh, this entire offseason, gottwo more weeks, four more days of
OTAs and then three three days ofmini camp, and then then we'll go
(36:00):
another two weeks with the rookies andthen July sixteenth, we'll start training camp.
Jim Harbaugh is our guest. Youknow, watching your football season last
year developed mostly on Big Fox,you know, every day on Big Noon.
It's really satisfying. It was funto watch you guys pull that off,
you know, and we have obviouslya new offseason and the first one
(36:21):
ever right fifteen, And oh didn'thurt right good? I mean it really,
it really was special. I can'ttell you how good that felt.
Glad to sit here and tell youhow good it was. It was very
satisfying to watch for a lot ofus football types. I'm curious, you
know, knowing how to build acollege program, knowing how to build a
pro program. We have Alton McConkeycoming on and all that. What's the
(36:45):
difference between a freshman and a rookiein the NFL, you know what,
and getting those guys into the programand and doing it's got to be similar
but different. Yeah, you know, being back coaching in the pros.
I think that the well, Iknow, the first thing that hit me
was, uh just uh given acoaching point to a linebacker or quarterback or
(37:09):
tight end, uh and then watchingthem, you know, the very next
the very next rep, without youknow, film study, without drawing it
on the board, just do itexactly the way it's supposed to be done.
Is uh is incredible. And Iforgot that part about about the pro
players. They're just they're so smart, they're they're the you know, the
(37:30):
best of the best in college ofthe most coachable guys are the hardest workers.
Uh, and they're they're the mosttalented. And Uh. Then the
rookies, rookies came in and withthe exception of Joe al because he's he's
like a he's really like a guywho's played seven years in the NFL right
now in terms of his technique.Uh, it's it's so good. It's
uh, it's it's like a sevenyear, ten year vet. And lad
(37:52):
McConkey is is uh is the sameway we really like our draft class,
Joe Ortiz and and all the scouts. I mean, they just they just
crushed it. Uh. In someof our signings, UH, free agent
signings have been incredible, and uhand then the guys from uh you know
there were that are there are Chargersand and guys that played last year are
just uh, they're warriors. Theseguys, I mean, they just want
(38:14):
to win. And uh and it'snot what they say, it's what they
do. You know, what whatyou do speaks so loudly that I can't
even hear what somebody's saying. Andour guys are our guys are really getting
after it and crushing it. Souh yeah, if if if things go
really well this year, then thenit's going to be all those guys who
made it happen. And if itdoesn't go good, then then I'm a
(38:35):
bad manager. Tell us about today, right, yeah, I think you
still got enough in your past thatyou're doing fine. Uh you can what
about today? What did we seeout here? This is where we've done
this every year, but this isa different format. How did you come
up with it? What is this? Okay? This is the yeah,
this is uh, this is theharbor. This is the harbor. You
know, if it was somebody elsethat I would say, but this is
my uh, this is my idea. It's a golf tournament. The thirteen
(39:00):
holes of best ball, scramble likeyou like you know it, and then
once thirteen Why thirteen, because that'sthe way my brother and I John,
we grew up playing golf. Wedidn't belong to a country club, so
we snuck on courses Kalamazoo Country Club, ann Arbor, Michigan Golf Course,
and a few others. But youcan't go on the first hole because it's
(39:21):
two starts, the starters there inthe second hole, the starter could see
the tea box and he could evensee the the third tea box from the
clubhouse. So we had to getthe fourth hole or the fifth hole,
and you couldn't play the eighteenth becauseit too close to the clubhouse. Same
with the seventeen. So to us, it's a golf should be a twelve
or thirteen whole game. There wego, so that's why it's why why
(39:43):
it's that. But then then havea go individual, you know, like
competitors welcome. That's that's how wefeel, you know, in the chargers,
all competitors welcome from anywhere, fromany from any state, any country,
any other team competitors are welcome.And that's what today was. You
could see it guys were we're havingfun competing and uh and Campbell Norris,
(40:07):
young twenty three year old made abouta forty foot putt wow on eighteen for
Birdie to win. To win withwe had one par was already posted and
there was four other guys putting forpar. But he drains a forty footer.
The young guy asked him, youknow what club you're from, and
he said, la public, lala public course. Let's go so place.
(40:30):
He said he played some college golf. I think we need to get
him back out there, maybe giveus maybe we can find him. Let's
get him up here on the onthe getting out of the show. What
a great job he did. Let'sfind Campbell dorm. It's a lot more
excitement this year than we've ever had. Usually around this time, nobody can
stand up in the tournament's long over. This has been much more a competitive
(40:51):
and healthy I think for everybody involved, you know, iratulations. It's like
being the coach of a football team. You don't get any compliments from anybody,
but you know, if there's nocomplaints, then you did a great
job. And if you get acouple of complaints, you know you're doing
a good job, but there wasno complaints about the format, Matt.
I mean, so we thought wesaw everybody crowding around the eighteenth green for
(41:15):
the first time since we've been doingthis tournament. I mean, at the
risk. At the risk it soundedlike a scaphan. I We're just happy
that you're here. Yeah, exactlyright. We're thrilled that you're the head
coach of the chie definition sickophan,what's this? Sickaphan is somebody who's kind
of like a yeah, yeah,he tells you what you want to hear.
(41:35):
But we do feel that way,and thank you. So proud of
you and proud of what you've accomplishedat Michigan and many other places. And
it's so happy to have you herein Los Angeles. I am. I'm
super happy. This has been thebest damn job I've ever had to start
with. And sure hope it finishesthat way, but uh, you know,
I appreciate that, Petro So,and you're one of my favorites.
(41:58):
Believe me. I used to tellour teams this afford. I mean,
we got Petros this week, he'sdoing the game. Let me tell you
something. All you gotta do issomething good. If you do something good,
He's gonna make it sound so muchbetter. They're what you actually did.

the eighteenth see if I can winthis thing. We are scheduled to talk
to Lad McConkey to Joe Alt.Yeah, our rookie. We have to
(01:34):
do our at least have to doat least two rookies, our rookie parade.
Yes, keep the tradition going.We are scheduled to potentially talk to
Jim Harbaugh potentially potentially, but itappears as I do not see anybody on
the eighteenth Green yet, which leadsme to believe that our plans may be
thwarted. We'll see Matt, butalas, Yeah, we can always figure
(01:55):
something out. Yes, we alwaysworks out. There is a pope.
I forgot to tell you, Matt. I talked to Isabelle over the weekend.
Yes, she had her birthday partyon Saturday and I had my birthday
party on Saturday, so I wasn'table to make it to her birthday party
because of my birthday party. Andshe, Oh, we had a few
things we talked about. You know, we have our next big event at
(02:15):
Boyna Park, right, and that'sJune the fourth. He's going to officially
be shared tomorrow, but we've beendoing the soft launch. Oh and mc
has started talking on a mic,So maybe they are. Maybe they are
approaching the eighteenth green. Now,maybe our competitors with a chance to win
this competition, this could be ouryear, are arriving. But I talked
(02:36):
to Isabelle and I was like,Izzy, we have an event really close
to you, you know, inBuena Park on the fourteenth, Like,
no, on the fourteenth, fourteenthyou And she said that she that's her
laundry day and she could not come. Well, you know, understandable,
nobody wants to warn thirty close.I felt bad because, like you,
(02:57):
she reached out and I say,well, it's graduation. I'm going.
And you know, we have avery close friend, his son is graduating.
I've got to go to graduation.It was my birthday party, Matt.
Yeah. Then she said she onlyhad six people show up, and
that made me very sad. Butthen I was like, I don't think
six people wuld show up to mybirthday party. I don't even throw a
party for myself. I don't wantto find out. It's like, so
I think maybe you did all right, so which is a pretty good number.
(03:21):
Yeah, she she said it's laundryday and she can't come. To
the event. So, considering howintense this competition is with the new rules
is instituted by Jim Harbaugh, I'ma little nervous that, like, are
you, they're going to get upsetthat we're distracting the competitors from winning the
individual champion. We got to doour show, Yeah, I know,
I mean we're here. I'm saying, I don't know if we got to
cut our volume because they're going tobe putting, or how this works.
(03:44):
Oh, if you want to tellCraig to do that. I'm not scared
of harbardy right, Hey, Josh, wouldn't be the first time I pissed
Al Harbaugh screaming on the radio whilehe's trying to do a walk for them
exactly. This whole life at Stanfordused to it. All Right, Look,
you want to do the top storyof the day. You think we
can slide it in, Matt,I mean I don't want to be I
don't I don't know what to do. I mean I can sit here and
do whatever you want. We can, Yeah, we can. Why not?
It's it's do you want to talkabout? It's attack Lebron time.
(04:06):
So I think we should probably bethat, right, if you want to
attack Lebron, that's a horse ofa different color. Wait, why not
if they show up in the middleof attacking Lebron, so be it.
But that's what we do on thisshow. Hey, Jim, you don't
like Lebron? Right? Actually,I think he's one of the great people
in the history of the world.All right, Jim, he's great,
He's fantastic. However, we don'tlike the fact that he's hijacking our once
(04:28):
proud organization and trying to run itinto the ground. Uh again, this
is simply since everyone is trying toget ahead of this. I don't like
it. We we reiterate here onp I feel as though as Lebron is
trying to take ownership of the Lakersand make it an organization run by him
for him, all about him,to benefit he and his family. Exactly
(04:50):
right. For it's but it's butit's uh, it's full bowl, is
what it is. Yeah, fullbull. I'm tired of Lebron late,
Judas exactly right, and the knifein everybody's back and everyone Yeah mconkie,
Yeah, Alton McConkie together, lookat those two. They're going to join
us in a little bit and welove those guys like the Abbit and Costello
(05:11):
the twenty first century. They haveno idea what that means. It's fine,
it's the mutton, Jeff. Theyhave no idea what that is,
Lomona. Everybody's trying to take ourchain. That's right, leave my chain
on my neck. This is ourchain. That Lebron's a piece of crap
is our chain. It's in ourtown, it's on our watch, starting
(05:31):
to spread, It's started to spreadeverywhere. Then everybody knows what Judas exactly
right, le Judas. Everybody istrying to sink their teeth into the fact
that Lebron is is. It's nottransparent. It's so transparent. You're trying
to be all cool and have allyour minions in the media plant these seeds
of yeah, I don't really carewho's doesn't care who's evolved, and give
(05:53):
a damn. He's not involved inthe coaching search all. Now everyone's like,
well, it clearly is right.Then I went through it. The
Lakers hired Darvin Ham on May twentyseventh, Okay, and it was considered
an elongated search that many questioned,why did it take so long? They
hired Frank Vogel on May thirteenth,May thirteenth, Dave May thirteenth, which
(06:18):
is a while back. I meanit's June third. Luke Walton was hired
on April twenty ninth. Those aretheir last three head coaching hires. That's
two months ago. April twenty ninth, May thirteenth and May twenty seventh.
June the third, David June thethird is where we are at. Is
(06:39):
it more likely that James Barregol,who could have been hired three weeks ago,
would have been hired three weeks ago? Is it more likely that Kenny
Atkinson is going to be hired,who could have been hired three weeks ago
and is now interviewing with the ClevelandCavaliers. Is it more likely that Chris
Quinn, an assistant with the MiamiEID, who could have been hired ago,
(07:00):
is going to be hired? Ordo we maybe think because the NBA
Finals are going on and someone's gota contract with the ESPN that he needs
to honor because he is part ofthe A team with Doris Burke and Mike
Breen And it's borderline unlistenable And Ifeel bad saying that I never thought I
Look, I've we've always talked abouthow much we love Jeff van Gundy,
(07:23):
but I really missed the back andforth with Mark Jackson. And I never
thought I would say that what happened, But listening to this broadcast, as
as JJ tries to insert, thatwas that was the what happened there was
the four was supposed to come upand block at the elbow, and it
was a it was a it wasa pick and pop, but that he
didn't pop, and study rolled andthen the guy peeled and it was three
(07:45):
experts, lifeless and pretentious. Exactlyright. Hey, how about some Jeff.
How about Jeff van gunned? Hegiven Mark Jackson the business? How
about a little bit of that?Exactly right, give me some of the
old hits. Uh wow, lookat him. Run to make sure they
get photos of the individuals coming upto the green. Oh wow, I
think this this contest is about goingbut hey, hey, those are our
(08:09):
this is our attack. Okay,you're not allowed to you're not allowed to
get in on this. Well,but you have waited too long, and
now that it's become popular to attackLebron because Bron is going to be drafted
by the Lakers, and JJ Redicksand be hired as an AAD coach.
We're like, where have you been? Want to We've been here the whole
time. We want our opinion tobe the mainstream opinion, though do we
do? But I feel like,where have you been? This is like
the This is like the the bighubbub that I did not see, but
(08:33):
it's all the news, like allthe regular hard news outlets have managed to
sink their their hooks into the stephenA. Smith got called out by McNutt
on First Take today because he waslike, oh, I've been all about
the w NBA and she went crazy. She's like, and about the WNBA,
where were you three years ago?Is that dog? No? McNutt
(08:54):
is their name? Mcnutts? Iheard Chiny and Kendrick Perkins they went at
Itrick Perkins was like, Pat,you guys got it. You guys got
it. You're looking it up.Ye. Her name's McNutt, right,
and Pat McAfee is it Monica McNuttwhen it's Steve and A for saying,
don't you try to claim the WNBAwith this, Caitlin Clark bs, We've
been talking about it for years andnow all of a sudden, you're Johnny
(09:16):
cum lately, you're some WNBA guywho you think you are. I saw
Chiny and Kendrick talking about the WNB. I missed that, and this is
what's happening with us in Lebron.It's like, no, no, no,
you don't get to glorify this guyand talk about how he's the goat.
Oh he's the greatest. Ever whenyou do appreciate him, he's getting
old. Make sure we milk everylast minute of his greatness out of him.
And now I don't have his waywith his son stuff exactly right.
(09:37):
And now all of a sudden,everyone's just flipped one hundred and eighty degrees.
Oh, Lakers would have hired acoach by now you know it's JJ
Reddick. And this is not gonnasit well with the players. This is
much like that today I saw theycompared it to Doc Rivers bringing in Austin
Rivers destroyed the locker room. Everybodylooked at him like, why is this
guy getting thirty five million bucks?We had a great chemistry. This guy
rolls in blew it to hell,and Austin Rivers could at least play little
(10:00):
exactly right. So now everybody's saying, oh, they're gonna draft Browny at
fifty five, They're gonna hire JJReddick. It's the Lebron shows, and
it's our pushback exactly right, thisis ours? How dare you don't dare
try to take it to us?And you know what I was like,
if somebody tries to join your protest, you're like, hey, you're not
really into this. All of theseuh, it's it's all this NBA history
(10:22):
that's now starting to come out.Like remember when Lebron tried to trade Kyrie
and then then stretched out he decidedto leave, and Dan Gilbert was holding
the bag exactly and then I thoughtabout this today and now, and then
what else did I see today?Remember when Lebron forced the Miami Heat to
draft Shabaz Napier because he demanded thatShabaz Napier, after a spirited run with
(10:46):
Yukon, be drafted by pat Riley, who was like, I guess we'll
draft Schabaz Napier And he was cuthalfway first season. I love I love,
Yeah, tweeted, we gotta getthis guy. This is exactly what
the Miami Heat need. And theyhalf the guy and he gets all pissed.
Yes, we've been doing this forthree years. This is ours.
This guy's the worst, exactly right. Don't come in, don't come in
(11:09):
and try to take this from us. You've been, as you like to
say, washing this guy's balls foryears, years, decade, with literal
decades, and now all of asudden, it's the fashion, it's the
in fashion thing to pile on andget after him. For the JJ Reddick
high that's inevitably gonna happen in tendays. For drafting Brownie James, it's
going to inevitably happen in three weeks, and they're gonna continue to pile up
(11:33):
being drawn though exactly. I mean, you're gonna be on one side of
this or the other. You're gonnabe on the late Judas side or the
side of Jesus Christ and Rich Paulexactly right, Rich Paul, lead Judas
or us in Christ. Choose yourisland on which to die. Why don't
the Lakers just take him at seventeen? Somebody else might get him, and
(11:54):
then they get Lebron might as well. Might as well just do it.
Draft JJ. He's so likable,he's gonna be great with the media.
Matt, I got a text thatsays this, These young Chargers must be
freaking out here, and do youguys bash Lebron? James, Joe Walt,
Hey McConkey. If they can bashLebron, what are they gonna do
(12:15):
to us? Exactly right, mconkey, I don't know, Joe. We
ain't in Georgia. No mo themdogs radios guys loved us. These guys
are playing hardball. Welcome to reality, Yeah, welcome you. You think
you are am radio in Los Angeles. Damn they treat Lebron, Jenny the
(12:35):
idea? What what kind of powerwe wheel? Lad? What are they
gonna do to us? I can'teven imagine that. When do you get
a load of pete noon? Oh, the competitors are coming. We better
take a break. Then the competitorsare coming. Yeah, I don't want
those people talking about Lebron. KeepLebron's name out of your mouth. If
(12:58):
you're his parents, we're the onlyones to disparage you. Exactly right.
This is our fight. When thatfruit is ripe, we'll be the one
to pi. Is our fight,and we'll fight it. Damn it,
it's our fruit to pick. Thanksfor listening. We'll think they are tournament

Tournament live from Rolling Hill. Seeand it's a modella meets a lot of
Monday on the Petro said Money Show. It's not a real meet A lot

And don't forget Dodger talked tonight withthe one and only Tim Kats on
Anti seventy LA Sports that starts atseven. But Matt joining us right now
on your Southern California Toyota Dealer CelebrityHotline. It's coach Mark Tressman, the
(14:46):
great Canadian football legend and offensive genius, and we are going to talk about
offense and we're going to talk aboutpro football and longtime coach in the CFL
and NFL. I bet he knowsour friend Mike Riley. He won three
Great Cup Championships in the CFL,two times CFL Coach of the Year,
and a heck of a guy nowhere in Southern California, Coach trustmen,
(15:09):
welcome and how are you. I'mluckiest guy in the world. That's about
I can tell you what's it beenlike here? You've been joining Ussel,
It's been awesome. Jim's been great. LA is fantastic. Uh So you
got your Dodger hat. We're onthe Dodger Station. Yeah, doing good,
appropriate, well done. I leftmy charger stuff back at the locker
room. I didn't didn't bring itwith me. It's great to be with
(15:30):
both of you. Thank you forhaving me today. How how do you
know, Coach Harbaugh? How farback do you guys go? We go
back, it'll be twenty two years. I was coordinator for the Raiders back
in two and Jim Caman his firstyear coaching, and that's where we connected,
right before he took the USD job. That's correct. We were there
together two oh three. I wasthere one to oh three, he was
(15:52):
there two oh three, and thenhe took the San Diego job. Yeah.
I remember somebody asked him a questionabout, you know, what he
was going to do, and hesaid, well, you know, I'm
gonna coach foot and until I die, uh you know, And and he
was very was he was he thatthat it looked like he had that kind
of drive to be the coach thathe is now. Hundred percent we had.
You know, today, we haveso many quality control guys that work
(16:15):
with us. He was our onlyguy and we would put in one hundred
and twenty five passes a week,and he had a draw all he slept
under his desk when he was ayard off on on on the depths of
the routes. He would take itback, put it, you know,
redo it. Uh l Davis thoughtthe world of him and and could see
it in more more than any ofus. And uh uh he saw the
(16:37):
future head coach that Jim is todayand and I was just lucky to cross
pass with him at that time.Well, so, you know, coaching
is strange, right, just thejourneys that everybody takes, and yours may
be one of the most you know, circuitous of anyone we get to talk
to. Because success here, successup north, success back here, success
back up north. What what islife like as a coach when when you
(16:59):
know that that's kind of the paththat's in front of you. Well,
you know, you mentioned success alot, but my greatest learning experience is
with the With the was the adversitythat I had along the way. It
wasn't always an easy road. Therewas a lot of good things that happened
along the way, and there was, as I always say, the inevitability
of adversity happens throughout a coaching careerand throughout the week of a season,
throughout a game and it teaches youto be resilient and embrace adversity. And
(17:22):
also the other side of it asyou talk about success is you know you
got to stay humble in success becauseyou know it's just not about you.
It's about all the people that liftyou up and that are surrounding that's around
you. Because it's the most asyou guys know, you your your sports
fanatics and you love the game isis it's all interconnected. Everybody's connected directly
or indirectly with everything that goes onduring the day and at our facility and
(17:45):
just exciting to be with Jim andthe and in the organization be a small
part of it. The great MarkPressman is our guest Chargers senior offensive analyst.
You know, in college football watchingthe games and watching them coaching and
you see them work with space andpace, and then the NFL, you
know, there's not there's not verya lot of people are realized there's really
not that many places you can gowith the way the ash Barks are Canadian
(18:08):
football, that the field dimensions area little different. You know, how
does that affect how you call agame, the way you see a game
offensively? Because that's not something alot of people consider. Yeah, well,
you know, after coaching for fifteenor eighteen years in the NFL,
I went to the CFL, right, and what I found out is in
what I learned along the way isyou want to get as much as you
(18:29):
can on first down. So inthe CFL, because it's three down leagues,
I just looked at it as beingsecond and ten. And it's a
great league. It's a great game. It's completely different in so many respects
outside of the box, but itwas very intelligently put together. It's an
exciting game, and it was funto coach, and players are the same
up there as they are down herein the NFL. Inside the box is
(18:52):
a similar game, similar game,you know, the blitzing and things like
that. We get outside the box. There's so much more room. It's
you know, the field of sixtyfive yards wide, it's one hundred and
twenty yards long. Offensive defensive line, our yard off the ball. That
makes a huge difference. And there'sso many more unique, well thought out
aspects of the game that are differentfrom our game down here, but make
(19:12):
it a great game up there.How you know, we were talking before
you came on just being able tocoach at the U at the peak of
Miami, being a head coach foryou know, one of the most proud
franchises in the history of the NFLand the Bears, and winning great Cups
for proud franchises in the CFL.Is there something Is there anything different about
(19:32):
those programs when they are at thepeak and they are kind of the center
of the football world. You know, when you're coaching there, you really
don't think about it. You know, what I think about is how can
I improve the life of the peoplethat I'm engaged with each and every day
when they're in I always say,when they're in my airspace, I'm always
trying to do things to serve them, to help them be you know,
better husbands, father's teammates, anduse the science of football, which I
(19:56):
have expertise in as a coach,and use that comp but in seed to
do what I really want to do, and that's helped them grow to be
better versions of their cells and inturn, I think that leads to winning.
You hear that in football more thananywhere else. It's it's interesting,
you know, it's you hear itin bad but football seems to be that.
It's it's more it seems like it'smore of a community. Is that
(20:17):
because of the way the game isplayed, how reliant you are upon the
guy next to you. Well,I think that the game draws, truly
draws so many different people from somany places. The entire spectrum of humanity
is in a locker room, andit's the head coaches and the organization's responsibility
and the coaches to bring them alltogether and because and make them realize that
(20:38):
they all are clearly directly or indirectlyresponsible. And when they feel that way,
it creates a sense of urgency throughoutand it really kind of creates a
wave that it can extend right throughthe organization when you get when you when
you start moving in the right direction. We're going to talk to a few
of the rookies. We always doevery year when we're out here, and
(21:00):
it's very interesting the balance in theNFL between being a developmental league, right
and having guys that really know whatthey're doing as professionals to go out there
and represent you, your offense andyour team every week. How do you
balance that out, especially trying tocompete all season long and get guys better
as you're going. Yeah, Ithink we all start with fundamentals. I
mean, it doesn't really matter whatyear they are in the league. We
(21:23):
still start in the same place.It's whether your first year player or a
twelve year player. We're still teachingthe same fundamentals, and we build on
those fundamentals and then try to createchaos around those fundamentals to get them ready
to play the game. Interesting whenit comes to the rookies and what you're
able to put on their plate,it's because it feels like the game has
become more complicated, has it.Are these guys asked to do more or
(21:48):
understand what they are It's a differentI mean, some of these guys have
never been in a huddle. Someof these guys have never heard a quarterback
call a play. It's a completelydifferent dynamic in the NFL than it is
in college football, generally speaking.And these guys got to learn how to
get in out of thehuddle. Theygot to get lined up. They don't
always line up on the on theon the side, left side of the
(22:08):
field or the right side of thefield. We're moving them around. Everybody's
we're shifting, we're motioning we're doingall these things. The language is complex.
It takes a lot more time andeffort for them to learn what not
every team, but most teams aretrying to accomplish in the league. They're
trying to create, you know,create a you know, make things look
complicated offensively, but still create simplicityso they can get it done in the
(22:32):
chaos and speed of the game.Last thing that you know, we kind
of know the way Jim Harby's playedfootball everywhere he's been, and it's not
necessarily the way they're playing football,at least across most of the thirty two
teams in the NFL. What doyou what do you make of that kind
of that philosophy and what the leaguehas become and how you know that that
style of offense is still very viable. You know, I think the offenses
(22:52):
are what you want to make ofit, you know, they and we'll
just have to see. I thinkJim is you know, wants to be
able to throw the ball when hewants to throw the ball and run it.
I think that, you know,college football is a little different,
but I think that at the atthe end of the day, you know,
we're going to do what we canto be an effective running football team.
You know, that's that's Greg's partof Greg's uh, you know,
(23:14):
genealogy so to speak, if that'sthe right word, and and gyms,
and I think we start that way. And I've always felt and probably throwing
the ball as much as anybody throughoutthe years, is that you still want
to start your your offense still startswith a physical running football team. When
you can be physical running the football, I think that just reflects and everything
else you're able to do. AndI think you know, all the teams
in the league that that are atthe top of the league each and every
(23:37):
year, they can run the ball, and they can run it when they
want to run it, which isthe most important time to be able to
do it. You got to runit when you want to run exactly right,
just run it when you don't wantto run it. Yeah, it's
my pleasure. You guys are awesome, And thanks for having me on this.
Thank you very much, Thank you. Pleasure to be here anytime.
(23:59):
Thanks, thank you. All right, So we're taking on Harbor next there.
I think Joe Ortiz is coming onright now. Oh, you're just
gonna come sit down right in betweenus and knock it out as Derwin's leaving.
Nice meeting you by directly. You'relooking good. Most pans are pretty
tight. I mean, geez,let's meetup all right, Matt. We
(24:22):
got the GM the second time we'veever talked to Joe Ortiz. We're happy
to have him. We talked tohim during the draft. He was very
focused on the draft. Yes,and today the team has been drafted.
Today is about charity and fun anddiving into the offseason and the summertime.
It's great to have you on theSouthern California Toyota Dealer celebrity hotline. How's
your day been? Harbaugh? Reallymix it all up and making weird what
(24:45):
happened? It was great? Itwas It's a really neat format. You
know, we play thirteen holes ofteam golf and then it's an individual ball
in on the last four and yougot to make double bogie and then bogie
and then parr part to qualify andthen a little tight down U yeah,
you know, pro guys coming backlike they've seen a ghost exactly right.
We uh yeah. I got alittle nervous out there. On my second
(25:07):
hole. I had a two puttfor Bogey and I you know, I
felt myself tightening up really yeah.You know, did you make it to
the team, No, no,no, I got I got eliminated on
the third hole. I need tomake par or whatever. So it's a
good effort. Yeah, it wasfun. It is uh, it's competition,
and it seems to be the themeof coach Arbu that it is all
about competition all the time. Itjust really it made it a lot of
fun. Like we're competing as ateam, you know, our foursome five
(25:30):
so and then all of a sudden, all right, we're all on our
own ball and playing it in andyou know, everyone got got a chance
to compete as an individual. Soit was a lot of fun. We
have, Uh, we're gonna haveLad McConkey and Joe Alton and a little
bigger first and second round pick.When when you're scouting players, how how
important is it to see him aperson? When when you see joelt walking,
it's like seeing a different human being. It's it's so different than anybody
(25:52):
else, like a ship come in. Yeah, he's huge. You know,
it is important to see him.You know, you get opportunities going
schools and and see him during thefall, uh, and then obviously the
Senior Bowl and the multiple multiple AllStar Games and then the combine. So
it's just great to get eyes onthem and see what they look like.
They look like a pro, apro player, you know. And Joe
obviously he looks different than a lotof a lot of players. You know,
(26:15):
he's so massive. We were justtalking about coach with coach trustmit about
you know, the balance between development, uh at this level and being ready
to play. You know, howdoes that how does that work and how
does that work in this franchise underyou guys, because because you always want
to be developing people no matter whatlevel. Absolutely. I mean you look
at a seventh year player versus arookie, you know, you're there's always
(26:37):
something you can work on and improve, and I think our coaches are they
take that approach with all the players, and uh, it's it's really fun
and special to watch. And thenyou see the players, you know,
they're wanting to get better, youknow, the vets they're they're looking for,
you know, to be taught newthings. And and then they're taking
what they know and they're teaching theyoung guys and uh, you know,
I think every player has a levelof development then they needs to be done.
(26:59):
But they're doing a great job incollege is now getting guys ready and
and so a lot of these guyscan come in and compete right away.
You just signed Alex Leatherwood. Aweek before that, you had another player
signed. I think I was anundrafted free agent if I remember, right
at a wake, I think yousigned Chris Chris Collins. It never stops,
right, Yeah, it never does. It never does. Like every
week you're constantly churning, searching.How important is that, like just in
(27:22):
terms of because I look at Alexother when I'm thinking, okay, well
you kind of start winding up theoffensive lineman, You're like, I guess
I could kind of see him slottinghere. It seems like it's something that
is constantly happened, always always lookingto always looking to create competition. La
coach says, you know, wewere competitors, welcome and we get a
chance to get a player like Alexto come in and you know, he's
got a veteran experience and he hastalent. You know, just come in
(27:44):
and see what you can do here. And but yeah, our scouts are
pro scouts you know our college guysthat are working on next year, but
our pro guys are looking at guyson the street always, Hey, who
can help us improve and compete andmake make the depth of the roster better.
You've built a few football teams,have been part of a lot of
success over the years, and thisis an interesting time of year for any
(28:07):
football team at any level. Obviously, you guys know what you're doing,
but when does the identity of ateam kind of reveal itself to you and
the head coach. Is it somethingyou can create in the offseason or is
it something that has to develop whenthe guys put the pads on and the
real stuff start. I think Ithink you come in with what you want
to establish as an identity, butyou just build towards it and build and
(28:27):
build and build, and you know, it shows itself when we get out
there on Sundays. You know,and you know when our guys get out
there, you're going to see atough, physical football team that loves one
another, place for one another,in plays for the organization. And you're
already seeing it. You know.The guys are all around you. We
have so much participation in the offseason program from everybody. It's it's really
cool to see last thing for you, Joe, You've been here for long
(28:51):
enough. Now settle in your family, guys, yes, weeks Yeah,
kids that are playing sports. Havehave you settled in? Are they on
travel teams? Like? What dowe got go? What's what's going on
in the world family? Yeah,so they're still they're still in Maryland.
It's tough. It's people, wellyou know they are, but it's their
school. They just finished three ofmy my oldest three just finished last week.
(29:12):
My youngest finishes this week, andbut then they have travel and so
that it'll be a challenge, youknow, getting them out here. They'll
be here in July and hopefully sooner. Some will come sooner. But it's
it's been fun. My oldest twofinished their their last season together, their
first and last season together in varsityand playing together on baseball. They went
(29:36):
to McDonough and and so we wewe got knocked out in the finals,
but you know, it was agreat run. It was fun to watch
them both play. And then,uh, Jamie's finished lacrosse next this weekend,
and Julian's into his travel ball.So you know, my wife Jennifer,
she's everywhere, you know, anduh, and but we're slowly but
surely going to get them out here. And uh, I think July.
(29:56):
There's a week in July where wecan move everyone out here. And then
my son Jack goes back to theEast Coast for some more travel baseball.
So we got a hunger to beatthe family. Yeah, exactly right,
Yeah, I miss him. It'sit's leading up to the draft. I
didn't worry, you know that You'rejust going, going, going, and
then once the drafts overs, like, Hi, I need my family,
you know, but they'll get outhere soon. Thanky for you. You

show joining us right now on theToyota Southern California Dealers Celebrity Hotline. A
(31:29):
man that we know and respect.We knowed him a long time and one
of the most intriguing personalities in thesport of football for the last twenty plus
years. And I felt that waywhen he was the coach at USD and
developing that program, and he cameup to the Pac ten and started doing
what he's doing, and he's doingit here now. For the outside,
I feel like I'm back in twothousand and seven, two thousand and eight.
(31:52):
I feel like getting in his Yeah, let's go the great Jim Harbaugh
hero to the people. Feel likeI'm having a production meeting with Petro Sabadaca
Harry Tompkins for a big USCCT andyou take it to them. You ran
the power at him, maybe aboutfive hundred times. You're the best.
Petros. It's wonderful to have youhere, and it's great to be you
(32:13):
or a restaurant in Manhattan Beach.No, Petro, that's a different guy.
My father owned a restaurant here inSan Pedro. That guy is an
old Greek. Now I used toown a bikini shop that my sister in
law worked at, but we arenot related. But his mother has a
great recipe for off Galomino soup,the lemon soup that they serve there.
Yeah, they have, they haveeverything, and I like the one thing
that Petros they have. The wallsare bear you know, like at a
(32:36):
Greek village restaurant. Yes, Sarahand I ate there last night. It
was outstanding. Now, are youenjoying Southern California? You're very much.
You've been in California a lot inyour life in your work, but this
is San Diego in the Bay Area. I've never lived in La and uh,
you know, it couldn't be couldn'tbe better. I mean they say
the Midwest people are nice and welcoming. They they have nothing on southern California,
Manhattan Beach, the South Bay,Los Angeles. Uh know, it's
(33:00):
just been eight plus plus. Iknow. They they did a big piece
and Chargers social Media and digital teamdoes a bang up job on what you
were doing in Huntington and your experiencesis Jim Rockford. But I haven't heard
whether or not you enjoyed, Like, how was it? How long?
Everything you wanted it to be?It was? It was everything and more.
I mean you you take over anew job and you just you got
(33:21):
to get to work. You know, you got to get in there and
you know, start working at youknow, fourteen sixteen hours a day,
and h it really allowed me todo it. And I would also say
the simple life is the best life. It's just it's just not in the
cards for for me. And thenwhen my wife showed up, there's no
more, no more RV. Wemoved into a rental place in Manhattan Beach.
(33:43):
We're loving it. Jack's my son. Jack's been on a baseball team,
uh since late March, and uhyeah, just everybody's just getting into
the community. We're getting into theschools and uh and and and most importantly,
well that's as important as a youknow, with the family to me.
But uh Chargers football. UH guyshave been crushing it all off season,
(34:07):
just doing an incredible job, reallycreating an edge for us with the
way they're working. And if wecan keep keep that going, then the
edge is gonna get even bigger.I would Uh. I was out of
OTAs last week and got a chanceto watch the ot period or the fourth
I don't know if you got alittle T period or fourth quarter quarter finish,
Yeah, fourth quarter finish, anduh I watched you throw the belt
(34:29):
on. It looks like what aboutone hundred and fiftye hundred and thirty five
hundred fifty pounds on that sled andyou're pulling it with the guys as well.
Three hundred pounds three Yeah, thosethose are three one d punds.
I thought there were three forty.No, those aren't forty five. I
sold you horribly short. Three hundredpounds. That's okay. I hope I'm
not sharing state secrets. Yeah,some of those guys, some of those
guys are doing four hundred, fivehundred pounds, so some got four and
(34:52):
five plates. Share us share U'sthe idea behind. You know that you
got a whole day of practice andas soon as it looks like they're done,
we got like fifteen more minutes ofthis stuff. Yeah, I mean,
it's the it's the NFL. Imean, fifty percent of the games
come down to one drive, right, and uh it's it's really a fifty
six fifty six minute game and thenat two minutes at the end of the
(35:13):
half and two minutes at the endof the game. It's like two separate
games fifty eight minutes in the inthe last two minutes because all the games
are pretty much one possession games.So uh, yeah, the guys,
the guy's been attacking it. Andyeah, like I said, you know,
so far, so good. Theguys have been incredible. Justin Herbert,
I mean, great player, tremendous, tremendous worker, Derwin James,
(35:35):
tremendous worker, and then Kalo Mackand Joey Bosa they're there, but I
could I could go through, uheighty six more names. Uh, you
know, just been just been atremendous thrill to be around these Warriors.
Uh, this entire offseason, gottwo more weeks, four more days of
OTAs and then three three days ofmini camp, and then then we'll go
(36:00):
another two weeks with the rookies andthen July sixteenth, we'll start training camp.
Jim Harbaugh is our guest. Youknow, watching your football season last
year developed mostly on Big Fox,you know, every day on Big Noon.
It's really satisfying. It was funto watch you guys pull that off,
you know, and we have obviouslya new offseason and the first one
(36:21):
ever right fifteen, And oh didn'thurt right good? I mean it really,
it really was special. I can'ttell you how good that felt.
Glad to sit here and tell youhow good it was. It was very
satisfying to watch for a lot ofus football types. I'm curious, you
know, knowing how to build acollege program, knowing how to build a
pro program. We have Alton McConkeycoming on and all that. What's the
(36:45):
difference between a freshman and a rookiein the NFL, you know what,
and getting those guys into the programand and doing it's got to be similar
but different. Yeah, you know, being back coaching in the pros.
I think that the well, Iknow, the first thing that hit me
was, uh just uh given acoaching point to a linebacker or quarterback or
(37:09):
tight end, uh and then watchingthem, you know, the very next
the very next rep, without youknow, film study, without drawing it
on the board, just do itexactly the way it's supposed to be done.
Is uh is incredible. And Iforgot that part about about the pro
players. They're just they're so smart, they're they're the you know, the
(37:30):
best of the best in college ofthe most coachable guys are the hardest workers.
Uh, and they're they're the mosttalented. And Uh. Then the
rookies, rookies came in and withthe exception of Joe al because he's he's
like a he's really like a guywho's played seven years in the NFL right
now in terms of his technique.Uh, it's it's so good. It's
uh, it's it's like a sevenyear, ten year vet. And lad
(37:52):
McConkey is is uh is the sameway we really like our draft class,
Joe Ortiz and and all the scouts. I mean, they just they just
crushed it. Uh. In someof our signings, UH, free agent
signings have been incredible, and uhand then the guys from uh you know
there were that are there are Chargersand and guys that played last year are
just uh, they're warriors. Theseguys, I mean, they just want
(38:14):
to win. And uh and it'snot what they say, it's what they
do. You know, what whatyou do speaks so loudly that I can't
even hear what somebody's saying. Andour guys are our guys are really getting
after it and crushing it. Souh yeah, if if if things go
really well this year, then thenit's going to be all those guys who
made it happen. And if itdoesn't go good, then then I'm a
(38:35):
bad manager. Tell us about today, right, yeah, I think you
still got enough in your past thatyou're doing fine. Uh you can what
about today? What did we seeout here? This is where we've done
this every year, but this isa different format. How did you come
up with it? What is this? Okay? This is the yeah,
this is uh, this is theharbor. This is the harbor. You
know, if it was somebody elsethat I would say, but this is
my uh, this is my idea. It's a golf tournament. The thirteen
(39:00):
holes of best ball, scramble likeyou like you know it, and then
once thirteen Why thirteen, because that'sthe way my brother and I John,
we grew up playing golf. Wedidn't belong to a country club, so
we snuck on courses Kalamazoo Country Club, ann Arbor, Michigan Golf Course,
and a few others. But youcan't go on the first hole because it's
(39:21):
two starts, the starters there inthe second hole, the starter could see
the tea box and he could evensee the the third tea box from the
clubhouse. So we had to getthe fourth hole or the fifth hole,
and you couldn't play the eighteenth becauseit too close to the clubhouse. Same
with the seventeen. So to us, it's a golf should be a twelve
or thirteen whole game. There wego, so that's why it's why why
(39:43):
it's that. But then then havea go individual, you know, like
competitors welcome. That's that's how wefeel, you know, in the chargers,
all competitors welcome from anywhere, fromany from any state, any country,
any other team competitors are welcome.And that's what today was. You
could see it guys were we're havingfun competing and uh and Campbell Norris,
(40:07):
young twenty three year old made abouta forty foot putt wow on eighteen for
Birdie to win. To win withwe had one par was already posted and
there was four other guys putting forpar. But he drains a forty footer.
The young guy asked him, youknow what club you're from, and
he said, la public, lala public course. Let's go so place.
(40:30):
He said he played some college golf. I think we need to get
him back out there, maybe giveus maybe we can find him. Let's
get him up here on the onthe getting out of the show. What
a great job he did. Let'sfind Campbell dorm. It's a lot more
excitement this year than we've ever had. Usually around this time, nobody can
stand up in the tournament's long over. This has been much more a competitive
(40:51):
and healthy I think for everybody involved, you know, iratulations. It's like
being the coach of a football team. You don't get any compliments from anybody,
but you know, if there's nocomplaints, then you did a great
job. And if you get acouple of complaints, you know you're doing
a good job, but there wasno complaints about the format, Matt.
I mean, so we thought wesaw everybody crowding around the eighteenth green for
(41:15):
the first time since we've been doingthis tournament. I mean, at the
risk. At the risk it soundedlike a scaphan. I We're just happy
that you're here. Yeah, exactlyright. We're thrilled that you're the head
coach of the chie definition sickophan,what's this? Sickaphan is somebody who's kind
