Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in
the bonus with Doug gottl.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
What Doug Gottlieb Show. In the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio.
App Welcome in Hope. You're doing great.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It appears as though Bill Belichick is the new head
coach at North Carolina, and obviously he and I are
just similar in that he's the most accomplished man to
ever be a college coach who's never been a college
coach before, as opposed to I mean, he was the
least accomplished college coach to ever be a college coach.

(00:44):
But the similarity is in the id idea of doing
it a little bit differently, doing it a little bit differently,
and of course I can respect that, and then you know,
it's Look, I've taught talked about this in the radio show.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
We've talked about some of this on the pod with Belichick.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
There's this complete misunderstanding of what college coaching is like now,
even from people who used to play in college because
it's changed so much. Some of the core aspects of
it are similar or the same, but in terms of.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Recruiting, it's completely different.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
It just is you're going to sign kids here in
the next couple weeks from the portal who will never
step foot on campus.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
They just will. You'll never meet their parents.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Sometimes you don't even meet the kids, where you just
simply go through an agent and it's already a done deal.
So we have this somehow belief, and again it's it's
reinforced by people on TV who used to play college football.
I think, well, it's like how it used to be like,

(01:54):
and now it is just not.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
You know, my friends who.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Are in the NFL said that the told story of
the Patriots was that they were the best waiver wire
team ever. They could find a guy on the waiver wire,
Wes Welker.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
For example, right, you name it. You could find a
guy in the waiver wire who fit what they needed,
high level of intelligence, and they could get more out
of him than any of their previous teams. I mean
even the late great Junior say Out.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Junior say Out was maybe the greatest freelancer in the
history of the linebacker position in the NFL. They got
Junior Sayou to play like within their rules, which is
nothing short of a miracle.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So do I know it will work. I don't do
I think it will work? I do. Is this all
part of him handing off the job to his son?
It is. Those are his terms. Those are his terms.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
And to people who think, well sons don't know what
they're doing, it's just nepotism. Shame Beemer's doing pretty well
at South Carolina. This is a sense of the same
thing that Dick Bennett did when he came out of
retirement to coach at Washington State to hand over the
job to his son Tony. So it doesn't mean it
will work, but has it worked before?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (03:13):
And can it work in college sports in this day
and age? The answers yes, and who won't be a
fan of watching him to see just how they play,
how Belichick handles the whole college seat.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Let's get to what the Fox says and now every
day at this time in the Bonus Podcast and The
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio, we played for your
portion of previous show Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports One.
Here's Colin Cowherd, host of The Herd he said this
about the overall NFL product.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
The reason we watch football is because we care about
the outcomes, and it's not that way for a lot
of sports.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
In the NBA.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
The bottom of the NBA is so large. You end
up watching games sometimes because you just want to watch
like an individual Star two. You don't really care about
who wins the game. And I've been saying this all
season where the NFL has got to be careful. It's
become so quarterback centric and the rules are so quarterback friendly.
If you don't have a great quarterback, you have not

(04:23):
so you don't want to become the NBA. You want
to care about the outcomes. And last night felt like
an NBA game, And that's what I worry about. The
NFL bottom is getting large. There's like eleven teams that
are hard to watch, but I'm watching them last night
and I felt like I'm watching an NBA game. I'm
just watching this for Burrow and Chase.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Uh NBA game? Is that? Is that? To Zeropa?

Speaker 7 (04:49):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
What you? Is that what you think? I do think that.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Cincinnati is Burrow and Chase, but I don't I think
it has anything that any sort of feel like an
NBA game, not at all.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I disagree with that.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I think that's the Bengals in a nutshell. But the
Bengals have two star players and the defense is a disaster,
so of course you're going to watch those two star players.
Here's Dan Patrick talking. Had this exchange with Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Did you see him coaching a college team? Could you
see him coaching at North Carolina?

Speaker 7 (05:24):
I mean, I can tell you this coach Belichick is
the best coach, hands down, in the game of football.
He has more knowledge than anyone I've ever talked to,
and just more knowledge of the game just inside and now.
He knows everything, the playbook, rule book, you name it.
This guy special teams, offense, defense, This guy knows it
all and he would be a great coach at the

(05:44):
University of North Carolina. My only question is how would
he do because when you're a head coach in college,
it's kind of like not really being a head coach.
It's not about all football. From my understandment, and meeting
head coaches in college and seeing what they do, it's
more about managing the program and also managing these kids
and recruiting them.

Speaker 8 (06:05):
I can't see coach.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
Boalichek, you know, being all in in that situation, coaching
wise one on the field, getting these players ready for
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's what he would do.

Speaker 7 (06:17):
But hey, when it comes to recruiting, I think that's
the question mark, and that's really up to him if
he if he can see himself doing that with me personally,
I can see him getting tired and old with all
that transfer portal anil stuff going on.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
I think that's fair that that you could see that,
but we don't know. And yes, you do manage people.
Recruiting is not again, just like we said in the open,
it's not nearly what it used to be.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
It is much more about, hey, he had opportunity to play.
You have a GM that usually in big time college
football handles the actual payroll, and you just got to
avow you got to watch the tape and evaluate in
the portal in short order. And I don't think there's
anybody better than that. I'm him.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
So yeah, you gotta manage people.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
But some of it is again, you can hire these
massive staffs to have other people manage people, and you
can just coach Paul. You do have to do some
stuff with the boosters, but also Belichick is a guy
who's far better with the players, far better with the
boosters in person than some of the performative art you
saw in the NFL. This is Rob Parker talking about

(07:32):
the one Soto signing by the Mets.

Speaker 9 (07:34):
He had a chance to stay with the Yankees, and
the Yankees offered seven sixty over sixteen years.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
The difference.

Speaker 9 (07:42):
People are like, well, what are you doing five million dollars?
You should have just stayed with the Yankees for five
Well it's not five million dollars because with the extra year,
it's forty seven and a half each year for the
Yankees and fifty.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
One for the Mets.

Speaker 9 (07:55):
That's significant money, right, that is But I think there's
more to it, and not every he could play in
New York.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
The pressure to play for the Yankees.

Speaker 9 (08:02):
You know that people are very rough, and I just
wonder does that have more to do with it, because
there is no pressure to play for the Mets. The
Mets haven't won a World Series in nineteen eighty six.
If you want to say, oh, the Yankees haven't been
in the World Series in two thousand and nine, well,
the Mets haven't won since eighty six.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
I think he took the easier way out.

Speaker 9 (08:24):
And what I mean to about that is not having
the pressure to live up to that contract. Not that
he doesn't want to win, and he won a World
Series in Washington, but he wasn't making this kind of loot.
And when you make this kind of lout, people have expectations.
If the Mets don't beat the Dodgers the next couple
of years and they keep getting beat down or whatever,

(08:46):
they're going to be coming for Wan.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
So though, yeah, that one doesn't make any sense to me,
I'm not gonna lie to you. I love Rob. Rob's
a friend. He's obviously spent a ton of time in
Detroit and most recently in Los Angeles. He is a
native New Yorker, but he needs to get back to
New York more often, because I would. I think you
could argue there's more pressure to be the guy on

(09:09):
the Mets than there is to be one of the
two or three guys in the Yankees. Mets fans have
the exact same, if not greater expectations honestly than the Yankees,
Like have we been to New York? Do you know
who the owner is? So it's a gargantuan contract. It
is interesting that you know it. I mean, like, look,
he made it very clear he is about the bottom line.

(09:32):
That's I think why he left the Yankees to go
to the Mets, no other reason, just because of the money.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's where the Fox said, What.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Does the FU say? Be sure to catch live editions
of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern
noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Let's find out who were? What is annoying Jason Stewart.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
And now it's your annoying.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Dougasy?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
What's a you?

Speaker 6 (10:06):
It always uh surprises me and annoys me the public
Figures who make a ton of money don't have somebody
on their immediate payroll or someone in their inner circle
to like bounce bounce a tweet off of, or bounce
a post off of before they post it, Like, is
this going to come off wrong? Is this show me

(10:28):
being completely unself aware? Example, Deshaun Watson, who I can't stand,
twenty four hours after the Browns got eliminated from playoff contention,
sent out a Instagram post and it's a it's a
view of some water in front of this expensive dinner.

(10:50):
He's obviously not with the club. He's on vacation twenty
four hours, within twenty four hours after the Browns got eliminated,
just showing just how either out of touch he is
and he doesn't care about Browns fans, or maybe this
is a fuck you to Brown's and their fans because
maybe he's never going to play for them again. But

(11:10):
I'm guessing it's the former that he just didn't know
that he needs to consider optics before putting something out
on the social media.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
You think, yeah, it's an obtuse look. I love the
word of toose. I think it's an ob toos look
and also very annoying. How could you not know how
this appears. You're allowed to be rich, Okay, you're allowed
to enjoy a nice dinner. Just kind of read the room, dude,

(11:43):
read the room.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
Along those lines, speaking of reading the room, another public
figure said something pretty dumb at the wrong place. So
this Jason Kelcey comment. Again, he was quoting The Simpsons.
He has doubled down on it since and he says
I was obviously joking, but he said this.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
I think it was a pregames on ESPN about Dallas.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
This is the state of Texas, Arlington, Dallas.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Built geography.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Listen.

Speaker 8 (12:17):
Also the butthole in our bit of America show shoe
whoa see now, I guys we got Week fourteen, wore
what happened? It was just a joke because of what
Nina said.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay, was it was? It? Was it a joke? Well,
we're just we having fun here. I wrote that we're
all friends, we.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
Got the cowboy hats, and we're You can't make a
joke before, you.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
Can't come back. You keep talking, you're digging the whole
deep vest.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Cowboys we heard a wild one over their rivals from Washington.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
So this wasn't really This is obviously a former Eagle
taking a shot at Dallas. But I think that here's
where again kind of reading the room here. This isn't
an anti cowboys comment. This is the city of Dallas
is the armpit of America. Butthole. I think you said
on National TV. Again, I'm not a guy who sweatshit

(13:17):
like this. I don't care. But it was met with
a violent reaction from just people from Dallas or in Dallas.
It's not necessarily like an anti cowboys saying. As much
as that you're calling an entire city a butthole.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yes, yes, it's annoying that he called it a butthole,
or annoying that people had the reaction.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I'm trying to get what part is annoying.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
It's consistent with the Deshaun Watson annoyance that he didn't
know better. You're saying something in Dallas about the city
of Dallas on that platform, and just like, I'm all
for people saying whatever's on their mind, but just there
has to be a certain filter when you're a public
figure like that.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
But maybe you know it's it's exceptionally dumb.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's exception dumb, and honestly, like kudos on the on
the ESPN guys for like you keep talking, You're digging
yourself a deeper hole. It's like, dude, shut out, what
are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Not a strong look, Not a strong look.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
But this is also remember he's going to have a
nightly talk show, reportedly at ESPN, and I like, I
personally am a friend of Scott van Pelp.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I also like Scotty.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
The fact is that Scott and his nighttime show, while
it may lack the teeth of some other shows, he's
unbelievably likable, and that's starting you off in a place
which is not likable to a substantial portion of it. Now,
maybe it's a just lean into Philadelphia and everything in

(14:51):
Dallas sucks, but that's generally. You know, you're trying to
bring in the widest set of the audience, and that
doesn't do it.

Speaker 6 (14:56):
I agree with you, correct And you know, funny is subjective,
So it might be harmless and funny to you, and
it might be something you would say in the locker
room to your buddies. But there are you know, Dallas
is a market size I don't know, eight in the
country or something. There's gonna be a lot of people
that take that personally. Anyways. Uh Micah Parsons plays in Dallas.

(15:17):
He was seen walking off the field before the clock
at zero last night and he said this after the game.

Speaker 10 (15:25):
I'm hurt. I won't wish it. So anybody seem like
we're paying to do that's not fair.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
They're paying to do this. Not fair, dug they're paying
the Cowboys are paying to do That's not something. There's
some entity that's keeping it, keeping them down. And what
I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of like, what do you
call that? Get out in front of something? Preempt the
When Mike McCarthy is asked about this about his best
player walking off the field and pouting after the game,

(16:00):
I have a feeling Mike McCarthy's going to do the
old standby that Micah just really wants to win. He's
just real competitive. Not an excuse. It's not an excuse.
Everybody else, including the coaching staff and all the players,
stayed on the field and shook hands and he walked
off like a baby, And don't give me this. He
just likes to win. Bullshit.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Well, it's interesting because you know, I you know, I
don't know if I would sit in the whole game,
but one of the things I did was I just
sat my best player, who I believe really badly wants
to win, really badly wants to win.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
But yeah, there's a you're not paying at penance for
other people like that.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Whole idea is silly, silly to even say out loud.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I just MICHAEH.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Parsons strikes me as unbelievably talented and unbelievably mature. That's
what sounds like to me, doesn't it. Of course, it
just does That's what kind of immaturity sounds like to me.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
So Deshaun Watson being unaware, uh, and then Jason Kelsey
being unaware and Michael Parsons being Michael Parsons.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
DeShawn Watson, I think what was the middle one? I
forget now Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Kelsey, Deshaun Watson and Parsons.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
I think Deshaun Watson just the aloofness of the I'm
having an unbelievably unbelievable dinner with my girl.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
And yeah, I just it looks douchey. It looks really douchey.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
And I just think the lack of understanding of how
anybody would rightfully see it is, why.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
Are we doing this?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Why do.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Because we can? Dougie, It looks like Aaron Rodgers is
kind of getting back to his old self, which is
great because you know, his like hits on Mack of
You this season have mainly been about football, some of
the juts drama. But it looks like he's branching out
and he's getting back to himself.

Speaker 11 (18:09):
Remember the old adage, you know, like forgive and forget.
There's a little extra something that goes with that. And
if there's some sort of admission of maybe wrongdoing at
some point along the way, like maybe the you know,
ridiculous or welly and you know, things that we mandates

(18:29):
we put on society, or maybe the things that we
said or did, or maybe this you know miracle vaccine
wasn't always meant to be and some of the things
that we did and said to people were wrong. Then
I think we can all kind of move past it.
When you try and make it seem like nothing ever happened.
We never mandate a vaccine. We never fired anybody for

(18:50):
not getting backs. We never humiliated people for their opinions.
I mean nobody, nobody. I would, I would, you know,
not ask advice from I don't worry about opinions from
some people. I wouldn't ask them for advice. And I
don't give a shit about what these people are saying
about me, any.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Of them, lone of them.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
Fuck them all.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
You love that, don't you.

Speaker 6 (19:21):
I mean, it's I just think it's it's a breath
of fresh air that he's getting back to his old stuff,
his old material.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
You know, he's going he's going back to anti vacs.
It is interesting that the guy who who mandated that
they create the vacs at warp speed. Is now the
new president elect, and everybody seems to have forgotten that one.
I would just say, again, I don't know enough about it.
I don't, but I also know that at the time

(19:50):
nobody knew that much about it. That was kind of
the point. Hey, we don't really know how bad this
could be. But there have been apologies to service members
who didn't get vaccinated. They're also, uh, there's just there's
there's an equal to greater number of rumors of things
that aren't accurate about the vaccines that on the negative side,

(20:14):
that no one's actually admitted or not true. It's just
a weird, weird time. But I guess he if he's
you know, if he is taking names, or if he
kept a list and checking it twice over people that
that were pro vacs, you can put me on that list.

(20:35):
I just did what the doctor said I should do,
and I'm absolutely fine. I never got it. That doesn't
speak for everybody, but his vindictiveness is obvious, and I
feels very petty, which is very much on brand, very
much on brand.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
No, that's it, because we can mmm, that's it.
