(00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Boom, What Up, America,
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio coming to you from
the beautiful city of Los Angeles, California. I hope you're
having a great day, man, a great and productive, productive day.

(00:43):
In the last two years now, we've seen two of
the greatest head coaches in the history of college football
hanging up in their fifties. Urban Meyer today, just moments ago,
officially announced that he's stepping away, that he's tiring from
being Ohio States head coach. Just announced it. And with

(01:06):
that in mind, it brings up a lot of questions, right,
brings up a lot of questions, will he coach again?
Was it just his health or was it the Zack
Smith thing? Is it dealing with Ohio States players in
that they created a system and now kind of the
the time in college football where guys either want to

(01:27):
play right away and go to the pros or they
want to transfers. It's become an increasingly difficult job. But
I also think that like the reason that Dabbos Sweeney
and uh Jim Harbaugh are not going to leave their
jobs is the same reason that urban Meyer will never

(01:52):
coach again. They're like, wait, what, he just left his job.
You're telling us that Dabbo won't leave his job. Dabo
could take the job at out Abama, could could very well. Now, remember,
if he takes the job at Alabama, he'll at best
be the second best coach in the history of Alabama
and maybe still seen as the third best coach because

(02:13):
Saban is never gonna try and challenge Bear Bryant. There's
always the Bear. There's always gonna be Saban. Whereas he
can go down as the greatest head coach in the
history of Clemson football. It's not really close. But he
makes about seven million dollars a year. Hardball makes in
the five or six range. But he has a life
insurance policy which is like an investment vehicle, which takes

(02:35):
the supposed value to nine million dollars a year. Urban
Meyer was in that range. So too was Bob Stoops
in that range. And what's changed about college football is
not just the kids and the desire to go to
the pros, the ability to transfer all of those Every
game on TV, the College Ball Playoff has changed things.

(02:56):
Players not want to play in bowl games, that the
media fields are meaningless. All these things have changed, but
the biggest change is the same reason frankly, Calvin Johnson retired.
You get to a point where you're like, I don't
actually need money anymore. This was never the case previously,

(03:18):
never the case. And college football coaches are not like
They're not like boxers. The reason that boxers are always
carted out from their last fight is because boxers, by
and large, our guys that are not educated, surrounded by
people who want a piece of them, and they're in

(03:40):
an environment and a culture in which it's about flash,
it's about panash, it's about spending, spending, spending, and whether
the gamble or their family gambles or their vander Holyfield.
And having a bunch of kids, uh you know, uh,
who is George Foreman as a bunch of kids named
George right, Like they don't manage their lives well, while

(04:05):
the money is not the same in college football, these
are men that are college educated, These are men that
are professed oreal, These are men that are in their fifties.
I'm talking about Stoops and urban Meyer that are well accomplished.
They got twenty thirty million dollars in the bank, they
got a huge house. They can pick and choose when
they want to make appearances, if they want to be

(04:25):
on TV, or if they don't. And that's enough for them.
And while I'm sure Urban Meyer and to a lesser extent,
Bob Stoops at some point in the future are gonna
want to come back and put a headset on and
be a head coach, they can truly walk away unlike

(04:45):
previous generations because the money is so obscene. Now, this
was never the case with previous generations. Just wasn't. It
just wasn't. It's the same with Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson
could have played five more years in the NFL, but
he made so much money his body started to let down.

(05:06):
He's like, look, I'm a bright guy. I don't need it.
That's the stunning thing about Larry Fitzgerald. Larry Fitzgerald is brilliant.
He's got a whole second life ahead of him, whether
his TV or whether it's doing something as an entrepreneur
or maybe both, but he doesn't need it anymore. It's
the one thing about athletics, coaching, in college football, playing

(05:30):
in professional sports which has changed, which is the guys
that do it right when they decide that they can
call their own shot, they can walk out on their own,
and whether it's help that's pulling him out the door,
whatever it is, they don't actually need money anymore. They don't.
You know why radio guys do this forever, right, because

(05:54):
radio didn't pay that great. It just doesn't. And even
the guy is that make a killing in radio, like
those guys are few and far between. And many of
those guys came up making twenty forty grand doing spots
for a hundred dollars a pop and whatever. And so

(06:14):
there's this ingrained work ethic in it. College football coaches
went from glorified pe teachers making low to mid six
figures to now making obscene amounts of money. And so
when their health dictates that you can't be doing this anymore,

(06:34):
you can, in fact walk away. Do I think Urban
Meyer gets tempted by coaching if USC comes open next year, sure,
sure you'll know if he wants to come back, if
he's doing games in a box next year for ESPN
or for Fox, because it's impossible. I've done fifteen years.

(06:55):
No one who does it doesn't want to be in
the locker room. Even after a loss, you just you
just missed that, you missed that quality that nothing else
on earth provides, which is when you lose, finding words
of wisdom and finding a gem and a teaching point,
and when you win, being part of that spirit, that
getting on the bus going home after a road win,

(07:16):
or going home to your wife and kids after there
is nothing on earth that replaces winning. And when you're
a broadcaster, even when you're not neutral, you're rooting for
a friend, you're rooting for a kid, you're rooting for
a story, there's still this hollow feeling that you really
didn't have a part in it, the win or the laws.

(07:37):
So if he calls games, I'm sure he's really gonna
want to come back. But his health two times over,
plus the way college football is changing, and all this
money that he has, I kind of think he's done.
I don't know he's done. I'm not saying he's absolutely finished.
It'll never happen again, because college coaches, like boxers, find

(07:57):
a way to retire and un retire all all the time.
How many times lou Holtz done and then he wasn't
and I let's let's let's hear this is Urban Meyer
when asked if this was the last time he'd be
involved in football. Urban, As you sit here now, do
you believe you will not coach again? I believe I

(08:20):
will not coach again. Are you fairly certain? Certainly? Yes? Um?
Do you so? Do you anticipate staying in Columbus and
being around? The decision was a result of accumulative events
and health number one, the fact that we have an
elite coach on our staff, the fact that our program
is very healthy, we've recruited very well. All played a

(08:40):
significant role in this. And I can't say this is
the reason, this is reason, but uh, there's cumulative reasons
that we're at this point. There's accumulative reasons, and I
think I honestly believe this. I don't believe this. I
know this at least to be mostly mostly the re
he had health issues at Florida. But there's also this

(09:03):
sense that when you're at Florida, when you're in the SEC,
you gotta do some things and take some kids and
run some risks that he lost a little bit of
control over and didn't love. And he had this vision
of Ohio State because he's an Ohio State guy, that hey,
in the Big Ten, we can do it the right
way and win a championship. And he feels like he did.

(09:27):
But some of that turned right once you start having
guys that are thinking about during the red shirt sophomore year.
Everybody wants to go juniors, everybody wants to go losing
entire classes of players. I think that then you get
into some of the gray areas of recruiting the energy

(09:48):
that it takes to every day be the head coach
at Ohio State. I think the Zach Smith thing where
he felt loyal to Earl Bruce and his loyalty and
ended up hurting him. I think the way in which
the sport is covered, the magnifying glass in which he's under,
and the fact that that job is a harder job
now with Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, with James Franklin at

(10:10):
Penn State. And I do believe that the other side
Nebraska and Wisconsin are going to get pronounced the better
in in in very short order. And so like, Look,
let's say USC comes open next year. A guy who
didn't love the off the field issues of Florida and

(10:33):
of Ohio State, do you think he's gonna love the
off the field issues of USC. I think that Urban Meyer,
in addition to health, which was a major factory, just
didn't look well. And the second time, and at some
point your wife says, you don't want to die in
the sidelines, like we got million dollars, We got everything
we could ever want in life. You can go make

(10:54):
do TV and make six seven figures. You know you
don't need this. I do think that at combined with
the fact that I think having all that money is
the same reason that Dabbo won't go to the NFL,
Jim Harball won't go to the NFL. Calvin Johnson retired early,
and we have we have seen a change in the

(11:15):
financials of college coaches and pro athletes, and those people
that manage their money have the ability to go out
on their own um, on their own circumstances. I think
that's what happened in Columbus today. Are we transition from
college football to the NFL. Lawrence Guy is gonna join

(11:37):
us up coming next doing Patriots defensive end. How do
they do it? What's what's the secret? How how do
they do it? We'll find out next. Be sure to

I love. I love incredible stories. Right, It's like, why
do you go to work? People say, I go to
work because I want to talk about sports, and I

(12:19):
get to do it and people pay me to actually
talk about something. That That's one reason. But I cheer
for people and their stories. I'm gonna give you a
guy who is an incredible story as well as a
really good person, and he's become a hell of a
football players names Lawrence Guy's defensive end for the doing
of Patriots, And I know what you're saying. You're like, oh,
the Patriots. I got nothing I want to I do nothing.

(12:41):
I don't want to talk about the Patriots. I don't
like that. Unless you're a Patriot fan, you're either in
or you're out right. Lawrence Guy joins us, you were
a Raven before you were a Patriot. That that's that
seems the first time you walked into a Patriots locker
room while you're collecting a check, that had to be
a weird. It wasn't like there were other teams in between, right,

(13:03):
it was Green Bay, then there's the Colds, and then
there's the You go from the Ravens to their rival,
the Patriots. What was that like? Uh, it wasn't. It
wasn't bad. N the Ravens to uh Pittsburgh, you know,
having a different story, but it wasn't. It wasn't bad
at all. You know, I know, I'm walking into a
good organization and I'm coming from coming from that organization

(13:25):
like that. I wasn't pretty much wasn't concerned. I know,
I'm gonna be walking with open arms. So you know,
it's football. You're gonna you're gonna switch teams, You're gonna switchcotation.
So it happened then, and I like it to be
blessed to become a part of the Patriots. What's what change?
What about the Patriots has allowed you to seemingly take

(13:47):
that next step in your career? You know, it's it's
just every day, you know, I kind of worked and um,
I put my heart online and go out there and
do everything I can, And was just organization. You just
have so many players that buy into that system that's
going out there, put extra time in the fair room,
put extra time and on the field and off the field.

(14:10):
So it's one of those things that you know, it
was just pretty much great compatible football, you know. So
like I'm like said, I was blessed to be a
part of this organization. And when when they wokeme in
with open arms, you know, there's pretty much this changed
over it is. Um the way everything outlooking anything is

(14:32):
you know, you watch someone a little bit better than
you do, you play a little bit harder than than
you was doing, and you give it all out for
your teammates and and that's pretty much a mindset here.
So it's like doing your job. It's the biggest thing
we could do. And that's why I've been doing and
it's been successful. Lawrence Guy joining us in the Doug
Outlives show here on Fox Sports Radio. You grew up

(14:53):
in Vegas and they actually put you in special ed
classes when you were a kid. Uh why why why
did they? Why did they think you had I mean,
I know you had a learning disability, but what was
it about you that made them think you wouldn't be
able to learn at a great at an appropriate grade level.
But that's what they do. Is pretty much when you
have my I E. P. What it's called, Um, I

(15:16):
need dinoas with anything. That's it's just a whole system
how they Um, they think you need a little extra time,
they put you out there, and they put you in
another class here and there for a certain periods, and
they bringing back in. But I still goes on in
the day. Um, this is how the school systemen is built,
and they continue to do it. I've gotten a little
bit better since I've been to school, but it's pretty

(15:38):
much the same basis of that. They think you dinoas
with anything, and they think you need a little bit
of help with something, they won't separate you regardless of Uh.
What she feels is how they feel you to pick
up up a little bit better an I E P.
For people don't know, that's when you have UH and
you have a person that goes with you to every class,
right and they help you. You actually have like person, right,

(16:00):
didn't you growing up? That's what an I E P is.
No I E P. UH, it's something you have when
you diagnosed with a learning disabilities is UH. It's paperwork
pretty much just what is pretty much goes down to
it's all PaperWorks. Individual educational plan I think is what
it's called individual educational plan, so's it's your paperwork and

(16:21):
it's your file that carry on until you get into
UM two you get out of high school. So it's
just pretty much a detailing everything down. You meet with
the principal, the school, UM, the teachers two toimes a
year ago for progress and that that would go up
into pretty much in until you, like I said, you
graduated high school. But that's just your your file that

(16:44):
keeps on what's your progress and keeps on with the
dot of the teachers and principles and UH and the
diagnosis and the testing that they perform and UM and
deal with you. Lawrence guy joining us from newing them
Patriots inscredibly brave for you to come out and and
be a supporter of kids that have gone through dyslexia
and hyperactivity, things that you went through when when you

(17:05):
were a kid. How do you You mentioned doing your job,
You mentioned how much film study there is with the Patriots.
How hard is it considering um, some of some of
the issues you've had to deal with in locking in
every day and doing your job, not hard at all.
You know, when when you have a passion for something

(17:25):
and you have that drive, nothing's hard at all. It's
just all about the time you put it in. And like,
like I tell everybody, if you're if you're in my
situation with what I was growing up, the best thing
you could do is put your kid in some type
of sports, because it's pretty much films the passion for
something and he wants you to continue to to do something.

(17:46):
And what sports is all about repeating so many things,
so so repetitive, So you have to pick up things
a little bit faster. Um then you usually will then
you to use that asset and when you go to
class or ringo of the film study. So that helped
me out a lot to um do high schooling up
and and now when I got to the pros. You know,

(18:09):
I put the extra time in to to learn what
I need to do, pick up on certain things that
ever they won't pick up on. And going through my
growing up, you know, it helped me out because I
picked up so many different UM platforms and how to
learn stuff. Some of the agment is how to pick
up all details on film and and put down in

(18:29):
a playbook. So even with my NFL career of going
through those different organizations and maybe learn how to pick
up a playbook fashion, you know, a person world because
every year than another playbook, so every year you have
to figure out how to pick it up faster and faster.
And so my in classroom on the field became better

(18:50):
and faster than than usually because you started picking up
UM certain techniques to help you out throughout the day
and throughout UM throughout the week of picking up another UM. Yeah,
that's it's really kind of fascinating on how you you
learn how to learn things, and you actually learn things
at a quicker rate than a normal person because they
just took it for granted how they could ingest information.

(19:13):
It's really really fascinating. Lawrence Sky joining us on the
Doug Gotlive show on Fox Sports Radio. You do a
lot of work with community. One of the things you
do is you take fifty kids and you take them
shopping at Walmart. Are there any rule when you take
kids shopping at Walmart? Are there any rules to what
they can and can't get? No? You know, they all
have a certain amount and like, hey, go get what

(19:34):
you want to get. Then you know, throughout the shopping things,
do you you help them manage? Uh? What what the
what they're spending? You know, you know you have this
certain amount of money to spend on whatever you want.
But let's manage it. Let's let's get the ultimate amount
of spence you can't with this amount, you know, and
do that experience. I've learned that most kids shot for

(19:57):
their brothers and their moms and dad. So it's truly
eye open experiences when you do that, because you see
there they're not worried about themself, they worry about their
family members. It's truly heartwarming when you see that. Then
you try to help them minimize what these person gets
and said they want him from himself. But throughout the years,
I've realized every kid I've been with probably got one

(20:19):
thing from myself. And spent it all under mom and
dad are their little brother and sister. It's pretty amazing stuff.
Lawrence Guy joining us on the Doug Gottlie Show. Of
course he's up for the Pro Bowl. You can go
on NFL dot com and and vote for him in
the Pro Bowls. To start with the New England Patriots.
Where is this defense this year as opposed to the
last year's defense which kind of came around, struggled the

(20:40):
first couple of weeks and then came around and became
a top ten defense by the end of the season.
How do you compare this year and last year? You know,
we have two different coaches right now, and the last
year we had many appetitions on the guys Florida. So
it's it's two different systems that we were running. And
it takes a couple of games. You know, you go

(21:02):
through the training camp, going to get your your your teammates,
you go through preachings, and but as we all know
in the football world, it takes a couple of weeks.
It takes the first quarter of the second quarter. I
think keep off building that relationship between your teammates and
your coaches and and and scheming up and see what works,
what doesn't want and once you get it down then

(21:24):
you could pretty much do just grow as a grow.
And that's what we did. You know, the first couple
of weeks with with were pretty much getting everything download
which ma Keem does and we keep growing and knowing
and after like A said right now, where it was
the team to grow after unit um to get up

(21:44):
to the best that we can. But it takes that
have time to do it and and we had that
time and when we we embrace it and we embraced
all down and you brace all up. But we learned
from every mistake we did and we were learning at
your positives we did so always floors up to what
we're at right now. Great stuff, Lawrence, thanks so much
for what you do in community. Of course, people can

(22:05):
vote for him uh into the Pro Bowl. That's a
Lawrence guy from New England Patriots as uh. What what
an incredible personal journey it's been to becoming a star
in the Nation Football League. Thanks much joining us and
happy holidays. Thank you so much to Doug gotlib show
here on Fox Sports Radio. You have anybody closely to you,
Ramos who has who has um a learning disability or

(22:28):
has it needs any spect special time or need I
do not not the top of my head. I don't
believe I have anybody like that. So I was a
kid that when I was little, Um, they thought I
was hyperactive. I know that probably surprises price, right, And
that was back in the riddle and give them riddle,
and nobody gave me riddle in my mom went o't

(22:48):
let him have it that they were just I just
I would get bored, get up and walk around in
class and they were like, look, you can't do that.
It was like, well, maybe you need to make things.
My mom was like, maybe you need to make the
class a little bit more interesting. But uh, with his
a d D a d h D, he's dyslexic and
has another issue um as well to have that learning disability,

(23:09):
make it through high school, through Arizona State, get his degree,
become not just productive member of society but a star
in the Nation Football League, and find ways to learn
quicker than the average guys. Really really amazing stuff. Let's
bring in Dan Buyer find out what else is going
on the world of sports. Then when he got a
lot going on, but the big news is out of
Columbus is Urban Meyer is going to retire as the
add football coach at Ohio State after their Rose Bowl

(23:31):
game on January one against Washington. We've worked extremely hard
to make the great state of Ohio. The university community,
including our alumni and former players, and Buckeye Nation very
proud of the fifty four year old stepping down after
seven seasons. Said his decision to call it quits was
the result of cumulative events. My reality was fairly certain

(23:52):
you would not coach again, but also called it complicated.
As for his replacement, it's gonna be offensive coordinator Ryan Day.
Most of what coaches built here is gonna stay, and
as we go along, there's going to be some changes
in terms of um you know, the way we do
certain things, but um our beliefs are strong. They're gonna
get a five year deal to coach the Buckeye starting

(24:12):
January seconds, averaging about four and a half million dollars
in salary per season. Usc You're gonna hire Cliff Kingsbury
as their offensive coordinator. According to Fox Sports Bruce Feldman,
no James Conner for the Steelers in Week four team
because of a high ankle sprain suffered Sunday against the Chargers.
They've got the Raiders coming up, and Clippers guard Patrick
Beverley was fine grand for throwing a ball at a

(24:34):
fan of the stands during Sunday's game in Dallas. Doug
Awesome Stuff, Doug ot Live Show, Fox Sports Radio. All right,
from talking about Ohio State, let's bring in an album.
Let's we'll bring in an Alabama alum in a second.
I got a quick question for you, Ramo's and buy
or Buyer, if you're still with us and you've got
a bunch of things to do. There's a video of
two guys in New York and Soho giving each other

(24:58):
the finger. Okay, ram Us, you're from southern California. Buyer,
you are from Wisconsin. Okay, byer, let me start with you.
Is it flip off or is it flick off? I've
said it with a P with with a P flip
to flip somebody off. Also have used to flip someone off.
I think the South it's it's flick. I think in

(25:20):
the South it's it's flick That's what I think. You know.
Let's ask Kareem Jackson. Kareem Jackson joins us. He's originally
from Georgia went to Alabama. Now star with the Houston Texans.
If you give somebody the middle finger, is it to
flip them off or the flick them off? Which do
you prefer him? Flip flip them off? All right, flip
them off becomes all right. We're getting more and more

(25:41):
votes on the flip them off variety. Kareem Jackson joins
us on The Doug Gotlip Show on Fox Sports Radio.
I said it at the time that the Colts, by
going forward on their own forty three yard line, that
kind of saved your season, right, they should have punted.
It would have been a tie. Nobody wants to tie.
You guys, get to stop, you kick the game winning

(26:03):
field goal and instead of being oh, three and one,
you're you're one in three. How much did you think
that change your season? I think that win definitely changed
our seat? Um I I said, they're making that decision
and us being able to get to stop and uh
the ball back to de Shaun and office and there

(26:25):
they went down and made made a couple of plays.
He was able to kick a field goal and come
out with a win. It definitely, uh, definitely Bootstollar season
to the right direction. Everyone we know in football says
Deshan has this in factor. There is something about him.
Um do you does it? Is that real? Do you do?
You really feel that there's something different about him than

(26:46):
other quarterbacks you played with. I think so just you know,
the energy that the energy that he brings, so just
being around him, you know, he's all smiled, very positive.
I've said that, you know two years. He carries himself
like he's a ten year vet um. Where he comes in,
where he works. You know, it's just kind of seeing

(27:09):
in them the way you approaches practice and the way
you take care of your body and stuff. I think
the guys just a winner. Even going back to college,
something about guys like that, you know, and it's right
at you. You get a chance to be around that
those type of guys are and get a chance to
play with those types of guys. But he's definitely, especially

(27:29):
Kareem Jackson joining us in the Doug Gotlip Show on
Fox Sports, Rady, you guys keep winning and there's always
this seat of doubt that we have fans as fans
have because we've seen good Texans teams in the past
in the playoffs, you know, not measure measure up. Why
do you think this this team is different? Um, I
just think that the group of guys that we have
in the locker room, we all have the same goals.

(27:53):
You know, Um, all the eleven guys that are on
the sill, I ain't get the time, but we're all
in sync that we all in the saying hey what's offense? So, um,
we've got a great group of leaders. And and the
way we work week week, you know, it's almost as
if we have a one nine game. So we still

(28:13):
know we got a lot of ball out there that's
late and and and we're constantly trying to get better,
easing every day. So you know, for us that put,
it's all about inconsistence, continue to get better and going
and going out on Sundays and lit. It all got
crim Jackson joining us in the Doug Gli Show for
the Mike Cleats cause. Um, you did the Cream Jackson Foundation,
which you provide families children who are battling cancer who

(28:34):
are critically ill, encouragement for life changing experience, Like you
have this Christmas and July program that's for pediatric cancer patients.
I know you provide tickets for families who have children
battling cancer, what is it? I mean, like, look, anybody
with the soul sees a kid battling cancer and they
want to help. But what is it that led you
to want to make this your cause? Well? Uh, growing up,

(28:58):
my sister's uh loca me a survivor and my mom
is also a two time breast can survivor. And bring
Jacksons Foundation we worked with women with breast cans also,
So those two causes of nar there to my heart.
So once I got a chance to be able to
create my own foundation and you help some other families
help kids and kept some women down in the same

(29:21):
existence that you know, man, my family were in, and
my mom and my sister, you know, it was a
no brain of that to be able to uh used
my my platform to be able to help these family,
help the kids and put smiles in their faces. So
you try to do them some type of encouragement and
continue to fight. So it's like it, sais a no brainers.

(29:42):
Um did you think Jalen Hurts was going to transfer?
I thought he would have. Um when especially when when
things kind of first, you know, when the things kind
of happened, you know, when that when it first happened.
I thought he would transferred, you know, being there's those
you know, he's a proven guy on on the college level,

(30:03):
I think, but when he four and too as a
starter or something like that. So I mean he's been
in a big game. You know, he he caned himself well,
but I thought he would have translated me too. And
you know, especially now and even like, look, it wasn't
that long ago that you played Obama. You guys wont
to championship in oh nine. But but the culture has

(30:23):
even changed dramatically in the nine years since. Where now
if you're a backupespecially as a quarterback, you've got eligibility. Love,
you gotta you gotta go and go somewhere you can play.
To watch that as a former Obama player on Saturday,
to see a kid who everybody thought was going to
leave UH to come in trailing Georgia and win an
SEC title game in the fashion in which they did.

(30:45):
What what? What's that like for you? Definitely happy for him,
um because and it's on the football. Playing football is
all about fighting to adversity. Not that be able to
see him come back in a going out and like
I said, he's been in a big game. Uh, the
guy he played in Nason Championship, you know, So to

(31:06):
see him, you know, come in and lay the way
he did. No, I don't think well, anybody that you
know is uh truly fans and that really know the game.
You know, he know it instantly once he comes in.
He's very capable of you know, uh Boots and the
team to win. So just to see that, you know,
for him to come in and play the way he did,

(31:28):
you know, definitely happy for him. All Right, you're getting
ready for the Colts, the team we mentioned that that's
what started this win straight nine in a row for
the Houston Texans. As Krim Jackson joins us in the
Doug Oatlup Show on Fox Sports Radio, I know you're different.
Your team is different, much more swag, a lot more confidence.
I mean, heck, de Sean was coming off the knee. Um,

(31:49):
just a different team. How are they different when you're
you're getting ready for the Cults, you're watching them on tape?
How are they different from when you saw him back
fourth week of the season. Uh, this is a thing
that you know, there's definitely a lot more and we're
early going to season obviously, and Brooks and more. He's
gotten more and more healthier every you know, every week,

(32:11):
you know you can put us a huge numbers. So
obviously see why Hills always receive what that he's saying.
And the guy that has to keep threat you know,
to run every route for us. It's about you know,
knowing what they like to do and just trying to eliminate,
you know, some of the big plays and you can
take away there's those two guys and try to make
it one. Uh I said, just enough huge numbers. You

(32:34):
know the type of player that he is, it's never
over with him. He's the guy that he held do
a great Guys will only run if you have toybody camera.
So the thing is and you've got to try to
eliminate the big place, you know, trying to be speaking
and covered. So make sure we're doing the things we
need to do throughout the week in terms of parents
and to the little details and going the game playing
and so with God you at a high level. Well listen,

(32:55):
congrats on the wind streak and thanks for all you're
doing for all these family leaves and kids suffering through
pediatric cancer. Really appreciate you joining us on Fox Sports Radio.
Cream thanks for having me cream Cream Jackson of the
Houston Texans Man. Mom two time breast cancer survivor, sister

(33:17):
is a cancer survivor, Lukim survivor has cut former cancer
and oh yeah, by the way, having a great season
with a great defense. And I think it's fair to
admit that even Texans fans will sit there and go like, look,
I got it, they're great. Let me see it in
the playoffs. It feels a little bit like Clemson when

(33:39):
DeShawn was there? Right, how many times was Clemson good?
And you're like, they'll still Clemson it? And then they didn't.
Game time is up next in the Doug out Lip Show.

Fox Sports Radio, Man, we got a great game for you,
brought to you by Discovery. Carter, we treat you like
you to treat you. Let's get to a game. This
is game time side on the Doug Gottlieb Show, Dan Buyer,

(34:28):
what do you what do? What do you have today?
We've got all right? This is where we rank things, Doug.
The Ohio State job was open and then filled in
a matter of seconds. Is Urban Meyer's retiring Ryan Day
is going to take over. Ranked the top five jobs
in college football as a head coach? What are the

(34:50):
top five jobs in college football? It's a great question. Um,
I'm gonna put Alabama as number five. Now, you may
think that's blasphemy. The problem is that I'm looking at
this as if all these jobs were open. Alabama, of
the schools I'm going to tell you, has the fewest
number of in state kids, Okay, and the most ridiculous
expectations set forth by Nick Saban. So like, there's a

(35:14):
reason it took them, you know, like fifteen coaches to
find their next Bear Bryant. It's a it's a hard
and demanding job. I'm gonna go with Alabama as the
fifth best job in America. I'll go with Florida as
the fourth best job in America. The reason it's up

(35:34):
there is all the players are in Florida, Texas, and California.
That's where the players are. Maybe Louisiana has number four
l s U just off the list. Florida hasn't done
well in a while since Urban was there, but has
shown the ability with the right guy Urban and Steve
Spurrier to win the SEC and win a national championship.
UM And because you're not following Urban, now you're not

(35:57):
following Saban. I think it before Georgia at three players
players players in Atlanta and surrounding areas USC at two.
The only reason it wouldn't be on this list right now, truthfully,
is because the university is paying out hundreds of millions
of dollars in a sexual assault UM settlements. And number

(36:17):
one Texas. They got money, they got players, they got facilities.
They have enough tradition, but not enough recently Texas number one,
Doug Rank. How do you think the Heisman Trophy voting
will play out? Come Saturday? As we know the finalists
to a Tongue of Valoa, Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins
will be in New York City. Dwayne Haskins and finished third,

(36:39):
distant third, Kyler Mario finished second, and to Will finish first.
Doug rank the five best teams in the a f
C right now? Great question. Uh, this is the teams
in terms of how they'll finish in the playoffs. Who
are who's the actual best team right now? Who you like?
Is the top five teams right now? I'll do Pats
one like that's what until further notice. I'm gonna put

(37:03):
Chargers too, because of the mess left behind by Kareem Hunt.
I will put the h the Chiefs at three, the
Texans at four, and I will put the Steelers at five.
All right now, On Monday night, Seahawks take on the
Minnesota Vikings, and the Seahawks are going to wear their

(37:25):
color rush lime green uniform. Yes, I do as well,
Color Rush included. If you'd like. Top three uniforms in
the National Football League powder blue Chargers one. Oh that
was quick. It's powder blue Chargers one. There's no one
who's seen the Chargers will run out in the powder
Bulgars like. I don't like those. No human being on

(37:45):
earth as opposed to lime green color Rush Seahawks uniforms,
I like a great deal. I like the gray ones
they wear as well, But I don't know it. I
feel like that's polarizing, right, um, Steelers home uniforms too, right,
that just feels like foot ball. And I'll do Cowboys three,
Cowboy Street tradition a traditionalists. Raiders did not make this list.

(38:06):
Raiders not And honestly, my favorite Raiders uniform is the
road uniform road Whites with the silver pants or bridges
as they're called in Georgia. I'll take the Raiders as
in the top five and that's the game, alright, final
final one rank the top three landing spots for one,
Bryce Harper, uh Phillies at three, Okay, Phillies at three.

(38:32):
I will put the White Sox at two and the
excuse me, the Gnats at two. And I don't have
the Giants on this list. The Giants one, Giants number one.
All right, there it is. This is game time on
the Duck Gottli Show. It sure seems to be taking

(38:53):
a long time for Patrick Corbyn to be making his decision.
Apparently he's decided on a team, but we don't know
who it is yet. Yeah, Morosia. Fox Sports says it's
probably not gonna be the Yankees because Corban is gonna
get a six year deal. Yankees only offered five. He
just tweeted out Patrick Corbin will sign with the Nationals.
Source confirms, Uh. Chelsea Jane Chelsea Chelsea James reports. Chelsea

(39:15):
James writes for The Washington Post. She gets credit. John
Paul Morossi confirms that feels like it's gonna happen. So
does that mean they have enough money or they have
the desire to resign Bryce Harper. We'll see a lot
of talk about a short term deal key Bryce Harper.
There then ultimate gets the big deal. Uh. Next year
or the following year, have the Packers already found their
next head coach? You'll find out next on the Doug

listen live. What uf Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. Uh.

(40:05):
We had Trent Dilfron yesterday and I thought he gave
a great answer. Great answer. Um. His answer was in
regards to the Packers making a coaching change. Hey, I
think you might have done both sides of favor. Mike
McCarthy has a chance to take a breath, to be angry,
go through all the steps of grieving, watch them the

(40:27):
bowl games, so he knows exactly who he wants to
think about drafting, and then really invest time to um
prepare for interviews for teams that he'd actually know, as
opposed to wait until after week seventeen and then you know,
quickly having to interview and then quickly taking a job,

(40:47):
faking like he knew what he was talking about with
the team that he'd be taking on. Meanwhile, the Green
Bay Packers get to put their name out there. We
all thought they would need a new head coach, and
now we know they need a new head coach, and
so they can begin begin making plans. This from Rob Demovsky,

(41:08):
who covers the Green Bay Packers. He quotes Mark Murphy,
the CEO and president of the Packers. UM, you're looking
for a guy who understands veteran quarterbacks, understands their egos,
understands their involvement they want to have. That's what Charlie
Weiss said. Wist went on to say this about Josh McDaniels.

(41:32):
I mean, who better would you have than him? He'd
fit that criteria. That's kind of easy one, because even
though Tommy and Aaron are not the same, there's still
veteran quarterbacks who are mentally as sharp as anybody. And
because you're dealing with one the whole time, it would
be fairly easy transition. I would think Mark Murphy said,
I'm not gonna say who were what we're looking for

(41:54):
this time or that this or that attribute or trait.
I think we want to find the very best coach
to coach you can bring the Packers back to winning
Super Bowls. You know they go on pro coaches. You
got You've got Joe Philbin who's already there. You got
John to Philippo, who a young guy who has been
very mixed in terms of the reviews of him as

(42:15):
a play college with the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, Eric b
Enemy who is the first year offensive coordinator with Andy
Reid's offense, but he also isn't calling plays for Andy
Reid's offense. Got Zach Taylor, who's the Rams quarterback coach,
Pete Carmichael Saints offensive coordinator. And then of course you

(42:36):
have Josh McDaniels. The difference with Josh McDaniels and all
of these other guys is it's been a head coach,
and Belichick had been a head coach, and on some
level having done it before is really really important in
doing it to begin with, Like you gotta get some experience.

(42:57):
And there's there's part of the Josh McDaniels ing that
is similar to Belichick. Right, Belichick the year before he
got fired with Cleveland, he won ten or eleven games,
then they fell hard, then he got fired in Cleveland.
That's what happened with Josh McDaniels in Denver. They went

(43:19):
to the playoffs with Tim Tebow, then they fell apart,
he lost his job. So I I like it, Um
I do. I like the idea of Josh McDaniels. And
two people who say, well, Josh McDaniels, he's clearly not leaving.
He wants to be the guy in New England. I

(43:42):
would guess at least a portion of the reason there's
there's two parts of why I think this is different
than the indie situation. One, if you remember an indie,
no one knew about Andrew Luck because Andrew Luck didn't
know about Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck didn't throw an NFL
saw Is football until after training camp had already begun.

(44:03):
Actual training camp begun, so you don't know if you're
all Pro Pro Bowl quarterback is going to be ready
to play ever ever. And I also think one of
the reasons this deal was done so early to fire

(44:23):
Mike McCarthy isn't preparing for Josh McDaniels. Because McDaniels, I'm
sure he probably felt like the reason he backed out
of the deal was you make this decision really really quickly, right,
That's what happened. If you remember, they're playing in the playoffs,
they have a bye week, he meets with the Colts,

(44:45):
he decides he wants the gig, and he wasn't the
colts first choice. Just you're weird, you know, the Colt's
first choice was Matt Naggy because the general manager, Chris Ballard,
came in Kansas City and they are boys and Maggie
Maggie turned them down. Why because he didn't know about

(45:06):
Andrew Luck. If you stay in New England, you have
no idea who the air parents gonna be. For Tom Brady.
And even if you say, why can hand select him,
plenty of guys have been hand selected that aren't any good.
If you go from coaching Tom Brady coaching Aaron Rodgers,
who's got at least a good five years left in
the nash Football League. You're in not good but great shape.

(45:30):
So the difference is the pace of this will be
much slower. Conversations can be had now, Hey, take a
long time and think about it. Think about the personnel,
think about how we change, think about our youth, think
about Aaron Rodgers. Take time and think about it. Have
your wife think about does she want to raise her kids?
I think I got four kids in Green Bay. And
the difference in green Bay and any other city, because

(45:52):
it's so small. You can live fifteen minutes from work,
ten minutes from work. You know, some of these teams,
you don't live near where you work, or you don't
live near where the players live. In Green Bay, there's
a couple of neighborhoods where all the guys live, and

(46:16):
so you actually can be home occasionally for dinner. You
actually can be at a high school football game. There
actually is the ability to be in a community when
you're leaving everything you've known for the last ten years.
That's a big thing. So do I think this makes sense?
I do you know? There's Bruce Arians, there's John Hardball,

(46:37):
there's Jim Harball, there's Pat Fitzgerald, there's Lincoln Riley. I
don't see Matt Campbell or Brian Kelly. Maybe a David Shaw,
you know, Cliff Kingsbury. Maybe do you hirement his head coach?
You're just hired to be offensive Coordinator's gonna be fascinating
to see what the Green Bay Packers do in this

(46:58):
last run. It does feel like when Kobe decided to Hey,
I want Phil Jackson to come back and coach me.
Remember Phil Jackson retired, came back, and all of a
sudden they started winning championships again. There is no Phil
Jackson sitting out there, but there could be a Josh
McDaniels comes over from the Patriots. You hear enough people

(47:23):
say Josh McDaniel's name, and you you figure out, uh,
you figure out that that you you must be on
the southern right, where there's smoke, there's fire. Yes, here,
here's Aaron Rodgers on the coaching change. You know, I'm
obviously an older player in the league. I still have
a number of years on my contract. Would love to

(47:43):
still play the forty and I think there's an interest
on who the next guy would be. But I'm not,
you know, needing to be involved in that process. I
don't need I don't need to be involved. The packers
are saying we're not going to involve him, and Aaron
Rodgers saying, you don't need to involve me, but you
know what and Rodgers needs, and he knows what he
needs more than anything. You need a plan. You need

(48:06):
somebody who's willing to communicate, but somebody who's also willing
to stand up to the quarterback. You don't just need
a push over, and you don't need a dictator. You
need somebody who comes in and says, hey, I want
to get us all together so we can all win
and have a really believable plan in place. So urban
Meyer retired today. Is he done for good? I'll ask

(48:30):
Joel Clatt, he joins me. Next. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Doug Dot Leap Show weekdays at
noon eastern three pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and

it Doug got leaves show rolls online from Los Angeles
here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's catch up with Joe Klatt,
who has been reacting to the announcement that Urban Meyer

(49:14):
is calling it a career for the second time. Do
you believe this is the last time he coaches football
in college football? Man, I think I might just take
his own answer when he was asked that today at
his press conference and say, that's complicated. Um, I'm not sure,
you know. Um, I could see him getting back into it.

(49:35):
I could see this being it. But I certainly understand
why the timing was right now for not only him,
but but for the school and for the program. You know,
I think there were a lot of factors in this, Doug,
and I don't think that was lost on coach Meyer.
And you know, two weeks ago when we met with

(49:55):
him before the Michigan game, he was very relaxed, almost
early relaxed and calm, and he's not normally like that.
He's a very intense guy. In our meetings on Fridays
for home games, and um, you know, we asked him
how how he was doing everything, and Gus and I
kind of got him on a side conversation and he
said he was leaning towards this to us, and obviously

(50:17):
he wanted us to keep it under our hats until
we did, you know, out of respect to him. But
so I wasn't surprised today. But he had not made
any final declarations at that point. And I think even
all the way up until Saturday, Doug I had guys,
you know, from their staff, you know, basically saying yeah,
we you know, we don't know what's going to happen.

(50:38):
I don't know if he's made a choice or a decision.
So I think that this might have been something that
you know, he looked around at the end of game
and talked with his family and said, I think that
this is time. Yeah, it's it's a fascinating thing. I mean,
I think to say it's just health would be unfair,
and I think he did. He admitted it wasn't just
it wasn't just health. But I mean, like, do you

(51:00):
watch a dude over there struggling on the sideline. Here
here was my way I started the show, Joel, I
think this is a different era. Then you even go
back five, ten years ago. One the transfer thing, I think,
where's a lot of coaches out right. One I gotta
worry about the kids I play leaving for the NFL,
and the kids I don't play, I gotta worry about
them leaving. Um, all of the media stuff has been there.

(51:24):
It's probably a little bit more obviously, you know Title
nine things on campus, you gotta keep your eye on
and handle things the right way. And then now you
have to worry about your staff and how you treat them.
But I think that because guys make so much more
money at the top, that they can actually walk away.
Where you go back ten years ago, fifteen years ago,
definitely twenty years ago, and we were in school and

(51:46):
a guy might have wanted to walk away, but financially
it wasn't like you had a few money. He actually does.
That's why I think he could walk away, be fine,
be a coach emeritus, maybe do some TV, maybe not,
and never be financially in any or. Yeah, financially he's
he's done. And I think you hit the nail on
the head. I think people would be shocked if they
went back through and looked at you know who the

(52:08):
highest paid coaches were in like the year two thousand
and one and two thousand and two, you would look
at those suns and just be like, are you kidding me?
So the salaries have grown exponentially, and the guys that
have benefited from that certainly are in a position like
Bob Stoops and Urban Meyer where they can walk away.
They've been paid at the top end of college football
for now more than a decade. You know, wouldn't wouldn't

(52:28):
be surprised if if Urban never has to work another
day in his life, He's gonna have opportunities, whether it's
on field or off like you suggested in the booth
or something along those lines on the television network somewhere someday. Um.
But I do think, yes, you're right about all those stresses,
and then more specifically to his situation, I think that

(52:49):
you could probably and I don't know the percentages of
everything I'm gonna mention, but I'm just gonna throw out
I think factors and and these are factors that I
think lad him to this decision. Uh One was the
off the field issue this off season, and I think
that there was some frustration from his part. Now you
can bristle at that or not. I just think that

(53:10):
there was some frustration from his part with the way
that the school handled it and maybe didn't back him
like he wanted. Potentially, again, that might be speculation, but
I think that there was some frustration there. I also
think that his health is an issue. You know, he
told us that he was dealing with massive pain in
his head. The sist in the middle of his brain
caused him great pain when he would get exuberant, in

(53:33):
particular when he would shout. And he's a guy that
was always in his career animated and loud, and so
the pain in his head was just taking a toll
on him. I think he also wanted to leave that
program because it felt like home to him, and he
called it home. He wanted to leave that program in
in a state in which it could have success after
he left, and he didn't want them to go through

(53:53):
what he feels like ord to went through when he left,
which was kind of roaming around in the forest and
finding its own the way. He saw what Bob did
at Oklahoma with Lincoln Riley a worthy successor, and he
thought that he had one in Ryan Day and if
they didn't do it now, I think Ryan Day probably
gets another net job this this go around, and so
they thought, you know what, all of those factors, if

(54:15):
we consider them, I think now is the time and
I think, you know, like I said, you can speculate
on the percentage that each factor UH played a part,
but I think all of those played apart. Did they
find the four best teams? I think that they did. Um.
I think that the term for best is something that
I think is is way too vague and and quite honestly,

(54:38):
I thought that it was taken away too literal by
some people that I really respect in this business, and
they essentially were arguing for a beauty pageant by a
figure skating competition. And I was disappointed in that. And
that's their opinion, which is fine, and we can disagree,
and that in part is what's great about college football.
But the bottom line is is that a two lost
non champion who's best when was Florida to me, should

(55:01):
not have gone over a couple of teams that had
better wins than them, won their conference championship and had
fewer losses. UM. I just was not a big proponent
of the whole argument for Georgia, and therefore I thought
I think that they the committee got it right. And
quite frankly, if you were just arguing about best, then
we can go to Vegas spreads and Notre Dame shouldn't
be in if win loss records really don't matter. The

(55:23):
Notre Dames shouldn't be in because no one would favor
Notre Notre Dame on a neutral field against Ohio State
this Saturday. Right, So that's why I got frustrated and
disappointed in that conversation. I think that the term four
bests hurting college football as a whole because of this
discussion takes place every single year. But ultimately I thought
that the committee got it right. Um, is Towah or

(55:45):
Kyler the best college football player in America? Kyler is
the best college football player in America, and I think
he had the best season as well. Um, I think
that he played his best football when his best was needed,
and I don't think that was necessarily the case UM
with Tua. And if you like it or not, and
you can hate this argument, but this is also one
of the arguments is that I never saw the backup

(56:08):
for Dwayne Haskins or Kyler Murray come in because that
quarterback put him in a hole down four teen points
and take that team and earn a victory. Quite frankly,
if that would have happened with Ohio State or with Oklahoma,
they would have lost that game. Um. So that's an
argument for those guys. I think that their numbers are better. Um.
But yeah, I think Kyler was a better football player.

(56:29):
Let's just say that if I was a head coach
and I had one pick, I had to pick a
quarterback from this year's crop of players, he would be
the first pick in my draft. Um. Do you think
he'll win the Heisman Trophy? I do, I actually do.
I've I've been uh, you know, chatting with some Heisman voters,
and I've actually been very surprised, and all of them,
to to a person, not all of them, I shouldn't

(56:51):
say all of them, most of them. Doug have told
me that their their decision changed in the last week,
and we didn't discuss who we put at number one,
because Kendidly, I don't really want to know what you know.
I don't I'm not gonna tell you what I put
number one. But will they say it changed in last week?
Then they're picking Kyler Murray because he played well into

(57:11):
you read between the line. Joel Klatt joining us in
the Dug Out Lips Show on Fox Sports Radio, feels like,
after last week was a bad week for Michigan, this
is a really good day for Michigan. Like that, I
have no doubt that. Look, Lincoln Riley has done an
unbelievable job, but Ohio State's gonna suffer a ton of
losses to the NFL Draft. He's gonna have to remake

(57:31):
this program. We we Meanwhile, as disappointed as Michigan is, um,
I feel like this is a win for Jim Harball,
hey Urban Meyers in the top five all time winning
percentage and coaches in college football history. Of course, this
is a way I mean, this is a win for
the rest of the conference big time. Maybe not for

(57:54):
for the perception of the conference, but certainly for uh
the abilities for those teams to compete and potentially win
a division or win a conference championship. And I certainly
put Michigan at the top of that list. I mean,
this guy was seven and elegans Michigan in particular, after
this year, when it looked like Michigan had the better
team and still lost, you got this sense of like, well,
when is this going to happen? Well, I think at

(58:15):
least that door is cracked open a little bit, because
moving forward, there's going to be more question marks parrow
House State than they are with Michigan, with Jim Harbaugh,
you know, staying there and so uh. This certainly is
is a day in which in Arbor they're gonna wake
up here the news maybe uh and get a wry
smile while they're drinking their coffee. Um. I. The one
thing that I do think is missing in the discussion

(58:38):
over the college ball playoff is why isn't Clemson number one? Why?
Why is elabet? Why? Why did we have to we
had to put Alabama in one? Like they weren't very
good the last couple of weeks of the say weren't.
They weren't nearly as dominant late as they were early
the season, as opposed to Clemson, who, once they changed
quarterbacks and found their footing granted against inferior competition, the

(58:58):
A C C never really challenge for the last two months.
I would have been fine with that, to be honest
with you, now, I don't think it ultimately matters one
versus two, but I would have been fine with that,
and I think Oklahoma over Notre Dame I would have
been fine with. I mean, Oklahoma proved to be a
more consistent team on the top end than maybe even
Notre Dame. You know, I think Ohio State getting in

(59:21):
over um Oklahoma would have been fine with me, even
with the twenty nine point loss. So you can make
an argument in any direction. The one thing that I
did think was interesting is that if you give Oklahoma
the nod over Georgia because they want a conference championship,
then why is it Ohio State? Fist right? Like, doesn't
that seem a little weird? And if conference championships really

(59:42):
mean this much, then why in the world there's an
Oklahoma three and Notre Dame four? Any existencies are are
frocks in this committee? Yeah? I think what's interesting to
me is if the Big twelve didn't have a championship
game but Oklahoma played Oklahoma State this last weekend, would

(01:00:03):
they still be in? No? I think o how State
would have been in. Yeah. Look, they rolled the dice
on the thing, and I thought it would be the
ultimate backfire. That's what I always thought they'd have, like
an in this year. I think it is too I'll
be honest with you. I thought it was the bat
I told I told Bullsby. I said, look, I know
you're gonna do it. He goes, we're gonna do it.

(01:00:25):
This is like two years Really did I? I know
you're gonna do it because there's too much money and
they're telling you it's the only way to make sure
you get a team in. But I think you're gonna
have an undefeated team or a one lost team that
loses to an inferior team. And he's like, well, let's
a risk everybody wants to take. And they took it,
and you know what, good for them the last two
years they end up getting a team in. How how
important is it for Oklahoma to win a game in

(01:00:45):
the College fotball playoffs something they haven't done. Yeah, it's
starting to get there. It's starting to get there. No,
I don't know if this is what they're going to
have to I think the first time that the Big
twelve or if it's oh you specifically, the first time
that they're going to be favored in the game is
going to be really important and fire after last year, Um,
this year, it's gonna be tough. Now I'm with you.
I thought Alabama has shown some weakness in their last

(01:01:08):
three ball games, tied at half to Citadel ten, ten,
three point game at half with Auburn down fourteen two
different times. Now they've won all three games, and I
still think they're a great team. But I don't want
to see Kyler Murray in that offense. Um. I mean,
if Oklahoma plays a shred of defense, I think they're
gonna have a chance late. Just a shred. Now that's

(01:01:29):
gonna be that remains to be seen. If they're even
able to do that. Alabama might hand the ball off
fifty times in four yards in the ground and score
fifty two points just from running the football. So I
don't know if they absolutely have to have to a
healthy h To be quite honest with you, I think
that the bigger injury that we should be talking about
in that game specifically is Hollywood Brown. If Marcus Brown

(01:01:50):
is not healthy, then Oklahoma is not nearly as dangerous.
And I know that that can be maybe an obvious take,
but what he does not just for their passing game,
in their ability to the explosive before their run game.
He gets the safeties out of that run box. Doug
I mean in a big way, which is a large
reason why they've been so successful running the football. Uh,

(01:02:11):
if they don't have him and they don't have that ability,
I think Alabama's gonna be able to control the line
of scrimmage. And that's when it's gonna become even more
tough for Kyler Murray to operate just trying to throw
the ball in the one dimensional offense. So, if you're
looking at for from the OU perspective, what the biggest
key of the game is, I think it's gonna be
the health of Marquis Brown and that foot that he

(01:02:31):
injured in the Big twelve Championship. How good did hurt? Story?
I love it. I absolutely love it now I know
I can't remember. I think you and I disagreed about
Kelly Bryant. Here's the thing I think that you can.
I think you can love both. So I think I
can be you know, like pro Kelly Bryant and pro
Jalen Hurts. I'm I'm so happy that his decision worked

(01:02:53):
out for him. Um, I'm hoping that Kelly Bryant's decision
works out for him. You know, I think that both
of those things, it's gonna be true I here here,
there's there's a couple of different levels to it. I
would admit I wouldn't stay, right like if I'm if
I get benched and there's a guy who's a freshman
I know, like and the coaches away, you're one play away,
and again like basketball is different than football in terms

(01:03:15):
of you know, one play happens a lot more in basketball,
you're gonna get in in foot and football you're not.
But still like, I wouldn't stay, But you have to
understand if you leave your life, you're almost guaranteed to
go to a program has no chance to cond be
for a national championship, and you're gonna go to a
place where you're never really gonna have a home, right,
You're never really like Kelly Bryant is he may get

(01:03:38):
invited to the national Championship anniversary celebrations, but he's gonna
end his career as a where do you end up
transferring to? By the way, did he forget? Okay, so
say he goes to North Carolina in place for Mac Brown, Like,
you're not gonna you're not really a Carolina guy and
you're not really a Clemson guy anymore. So I my
thing is I don't like quitting in the middle of

(01:04:00):
the season. I understand that this is just he's benefiting
from a new n c A rule and he gets
I just I don't like the idea of four games
in you're like, all right, I'm out. That's it, because
we're all just you're one play away. I totally understand transferring.
If I was Jalen Hurts after getting beat out in
the National Championship Game and I can't win it in
the spring, that I'm out too. But if you stay,

(01:04:22):
you stay for the season. You don't give up mid season. Yeah,
I mean, Brian's situation was just I mean, it was
so different. If he does that, he's done, you know.
So that's why the two. I know that the two
will be brought up as as a parallel, but they
are so different because Hurts has another year regardless of
if you you know, use the red shirt this year

(01:04:43):
or didn't um, whereas Brian this is I mean, this
is it right, he played one more snap for Clemson
and his career is going to be over in a
month versus so again, like I think that not every
decision is made in a vacuum um and and I
really want both guys to have success. I thought it
was wonderful, you know, to to make the point for

(01:05:07):
those that argue about perseverance and character and don't quit.
I loved it for Jalen Hurts, but I absolutely understand
what Kelly Bryant did and why you did it. Me too,
good stuff. Uh, congrats on another incredible season. You do
have how many bowl games? One? Uh? Yeah, Gus and
I will do one game. We'll do the Holiday Bowl
on the New Year's Eve. Awesome, awesome, all right, we'll

(01:05:29):
see around Newport shortly after that game. And thanks for
joining us. Absolutely, But the one only Joel clad joining
us on the Doug Gotlive show on Fox Sports Radio.
So he said it's complicated. He didn't say he knew,
but he kind of knew that he was probably going
to retire. I think it's interesting. So much more money

(01:05:52):
now in the bank for a guy like erwy Meyer
than there was when coaches retired twenty years ago. Let's
get to dan buyers got a ton of sitting around
the bank. Yeah yeah, don't actually, don't wipe your nose
with a hundred dollar bill that's just brought in front
of rama. I write my scripts on the cash that
I bring to work every day. That's why I sometimes

(01:06:14):
say one hundred because it's mixed in between. Yeah, urban
Meyer's got a lot of cash, Doug. And if he
doesn't coach again after announcing his retirement today effective after
the Rose Bowl, this is what he got, as I
should say for his future. Relationship with Jeane Smith is
as real as real as you can get. And he,
you know, I hope to somehow have an impact on
our student athletes and be involved in this athletic tourment

(01:06:37):
the s university. So if he doesn't coach, you'll have
an administrative role. We do know that Ryan Day will
be the coach he introduced as urban Meyer's successor. He'll
take over on January two. Most of what coaches built
here is going to stay, and as we go along,
there's going to be some changes in terms of um
you know, the way we do certain things, but um

(01:06:58):
our beliefs are strong. Five years deal for Day, reportedly
worth four and a half million dollars annually for the
new head coach of the Buck Eyes. Another college football
Notecliff Kingsbury gonna be the offensive coordinator under Clay Hilton
at USC there's According to Fox Sports Bruce Feldman, I'll
have some NFL stuff in a second, but I do
want to tell you two things. First of all, the
NHL Board of Governors awarded Seattle and expansion franchise. They'll

(01:07:20):
begin play in the fall of there's another n team. Yes,
it'll go to thirty two teams with the addition of
the Seattle franchise. The talk is Metropolitans because that's what
they were about a hundred years ago. That is awful.
That's that's the talk. But it could you know, could change.
Maybe they'll go in a different direction. But the Seattle

(01:07:42):
Metropolitans where the team in like nineteen seventeen and nineteen nineteen.
Around that time there were people in Seattle back then. Yes,
it's a recently discovered land. Uh do you gotta tell you?
I know that the Capitals and Golden Knights have their
Stanley Cup final match tonight, but the actual game of
the night leafs and sabers to two of the top

(01:08:06):
by each Yeah, they they two of the top teams
of the Eastern Conference. There are discovered card key matchups.
Speaking of matchups, become a new card member and discover
card will match all the cash back you've earned dollar
for dollar at the end of your first year. Learn
more at discover dot com. Slash match limitations apply, dug,
I gotta pay off. The NFL news, the Bills released
wide receivers Calvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes today. Raiders or

(01:08:28):
excuse me, Redskinson coach j Gruden said the team discussed
bringing in Colin Kaepernick to back up Mark Sanchez, but
they'll likely go in a different direction and no James
Conner for the Steelers. They got the Raiders on Sunday.
He's gonna miss the game because of a high ankle sprain.
We discussed it and then we're like, nah, yeah, he's
kind of a jerk. Wasn't that good and doesn't know

(01:08:49):
our offense outside of that perfect fit? Oh yeah, and
he's doing the league probably probably probably difficult, but at
least he goes like, yeah, we discussed it, which is
honest as on as somebody goes like, hey, what do
you think about Kaepernick? No, no, no way, and somebody
we need the dudes. There are no dudes. Um, can

(01:09:14):
I just do this one little thing on the NHL.
I actually think it's a little bit of genius in
that they're going into Seattle. They're doing They're they're doing.
What they're doing is the MLS thing. They can't make
a ton of money on the TV deal, right, they
just can't. Like there's just not as much as baseball
makes a killing on their local TV as much as

(01:09:36):
NFL makes it on their local and their national TV
on college sports football, college basketball make it on their
national TV in terms of the right steals, they just
there's not that type of revenue generated by the NHL.
So you have to generate revenue with getting full arenas
and go into Seattle city like Seattle that is wanting
for another professional sports supports soccer really well. Obviously NFL

(01:09:59):
does well. I think Mariners do well, although I'm not
gonna tell you I really pay attention to the Mariners.
They were decent this last year, and then they trade
away the best closer in baseball and Robbie Canal and
got a bunch of young players that said, like, it's
a great sports town. It just feels like they're trying
to zeke when everybody else's zacks. Okay, let's go to

(01:10:19):
thirty two. Let's get you know, more franchise fees, but
I don't, man, that's a weird one. They wanted the
Sonics for so long. They're like, you don't get the Sonics,
but you're gonna get an NHL team. Like cool. It
would be a good little rivalry with Vancouver, Little Robbert,

(01:10:41):
the Metropolitans. Yeah, that nicknames taken. It's been taken since
nineteen sev Ben Roethlisberger is strowing a forty eight passes
over the last three weeks. Steals have run the ball
fifty nine times, and now James Conner's out for this
week's weekend's game. Of course, a team needed a touchdown

(01:11:03):
to win UM against the Broncos. They don't didn't run
the ball, they ran an r po Brothelsberg quote. I
don't think there's any reason people to get worked up
over the number of runs compared to passes, he said
via the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. People are always going to
get worked up over the numbers when you lose, especially,

(01:11:24):
I don't know if people would get us worked up
if we would have won the game. That's why Randy
Fishner's d O c and calls the place for us.
I think we're just fine with the run pass ratio.
We just want to win. I do think it's fair
to say that Levyan Bell not having Levan Bell, did
they draw a hard and fast line. Yes. Were they

(01:11:45):
unwilling to negotiate or change their negotiations for a long
term deal? Absolutely, But even though Levy on Bell looked
like and frankly was the bad guy or the dumb
guy with the four team million dollars you could have
made and then been a free agent, can we at
least admit he's a great running back and he would
help these numbers be balanced off more? Coming up next,

(01:12:08):
does Mark Sanchez deserve to be the Redskins starting quarterback?
We'll discuss next. Be sure to catch live editions of

(01:12:31):
Dong Ding Doug Got Lip Show Fox Sports Radio every day.
This time we play for you a portion of a
previous show on Fox Sports Radio or Fox Sports One.
We call it. You're Shannon Sharp talking about the Redskins
going with Mark Sanchez over Colin Kaepernick. Mark Sanchez comes

(01:12:51):
into the game. You know, Mark Sanchez is terrible. He's
been terrible for a very long time. I can't remember that.
I mean, he's been terrible far longer than he's ever
was good. And I can't remember the last time was good.
I get somebody honestly say Mark stage has deserved to
steal play. But you and I both know a guided
that doesn't have a good question. It's a good question.
Here's the answer twofold one. Does Colin Kaepernick have any

(01:13:14):
knowledge of the Redskins system any And the answer would
be no. The answer would be no. Secondly, Mark Sanchez
was not actually hired to come into that game. It
was a freak play where Cole McCoy is rolling over
and his leg whips and hits uh cornerbacks leg and

(01:13:36):
he breaks the fibula like that was the freakiest, weirdest
play ever. And so you may ask, well, why is
that a big deal? Sanchez has brought in to be
a backup, to be a consummate backup, which is what
he did last year in Dallas, two years ago, excuse
me in Dallas, but what he did in Philadelphia, what
he did in Chicago, he was in Chicago last year
with Rabinsky. The job of the backup quarterback is not

(01:13:59):
to necessarily coming and play. The job is to know
everything you're supposed to know about being a quarterback and
being a leader in running the system and getting the
other guy ready. And you know who's never done that
nor showed the desire to do that. Colin Kaepernick, would
be your answer. I know you don't want to hear it,
but it's like I read this column. A columnist wrote

(01:14:20):
it in the New York Daily News. They've asked me
to write a rebuttal because they they they were trying
to put out that in previous Basically, the idea of
the column was, in previous years, Jimmierferdet would have gotten
back into the NBA because he's white, and the last
guy in the bench is white, used to be white,
whereas now it's not. And how white privilege no longer
exists in the NBA, I think is why it was written.

(01:14:41):
How it was written, And it's just like the back
backup point guard. Even though backup point guards play, it's
not the same position as the starting point guard. It's
not when your backup point guard, you're supposed to change
the tempo of a game, You're supposed to pick up
ninety You gotta be you gotta have the toughness and

(01:15:02):
tenacity that the starter doesn't necessarily have to have because
he has a little bit more skill, more talent, and
so he can take a playoff or two. And it
depends upon position. Obviously, point guard you have to If
you can't guard the point guard position, you have no chance,
whereas you can hide some other guys that can guard.
But one of the biggest problems that guys in the
media have, and I'm stunned the Shannon Sharpe has this too,

(01:15:25):
is and understand the role the backup quarterback is not
to be a better quarterback than anybody else out there.
It's to be a good fit, to be a good soldier,
to be a link between the coaching staff and the
quarterback so that you're all the same wave wave link,
and all you're doing during the week is getting the
other guy ready. You know. Yeah, By the way, Col
Kaperny hasn't been in the locker room, hasn't been in

(01:15:47):
a training camp for a couple of years. It's just
not the only chance it was gonna happen was when
Greg Roman was in Baltimore and his girlfriend blew that
thing up with with the Instagram post. This was Mark Sanchez.
Remember I've played this for you time and again last year,

(01:16:07):
late in the season. This is a clip Mark Sanchez
miked up talking to Mitch Trabisky right before he goes
out for his first snaf of the game. That's right.
I'm here with number then Minchell trip Fisk and Rooksie
quarterback playing against his home path team. I got a
couple of things. This is something I pulled Brad Johnson
on the day we won our Super Bowl and tamper

(01:16:28):
I said, hey, game day, it's not the Bowl. There's
no new reads, there's no need to make new up.
Great footwork, great reads, great this season. Good day, boy.
That was last year. I was last year in a

(01:16:50):
twin to three win over the Cleveland Browns that was
his hometown team. Right, That's what that was. That was
in December. It's snowing outside. That's the job of the
backup quarterback. You may not like it, you may not
understand it. You're like, I don't get it. Why wouldn't
you get because I I would argue, I wouldn't argue
with you if he told me that at their peaks,

(01:17:12):
at their peak, Colin Kaepernick was more talented than Mark Sanchez.
I'm okay with that now if you want to tell
me that Colin Kaepernick is more accomplished because he played
in the Super Bowl, like, okay, marginally, so Mark Sanchez
went to a NFC championship games, was had more sustained
success maybe than Kaepernick, who had one really one year

(01:17:33):
one a year and a half of sustained success. Like
we remember Kaepernick like this dude was dominant league. Now
he lost his job twice twice. He didn't lose his
job to good quarterbacks. Bless the blame, Gabbert. Do I
think he has the talent to still be in the NFL. Sure,
but he's got to find the right fit and he's

(01:17:53):
gotta get in somebody's camp so they can learn their system.
And he also, unfortunately has two things additionally going against him,
in addition to suing the league for collusion. You know
what those things are, or actually three things, you know
the three head coaches he played for. Jim Harbaugh is
that Michigan Jim Jim tom Sula, who he's probably defensive

(01:18:15):
line coach somewhere. I haven't looked it up. And Chip
Kelly's at U c l A is this is business,
and in business, it's not what you know, it's who
you know, right, And I'm sure Jim tom Sula, by
the way, is a defensive line coach with the Redskins.
So when j Gruden says we brought it up and
decided against it, I'm sure that Jim toms was like, no,

(01:18:39):
not your guy. But when two of your three head
coaches are coaching in college, that hurts your ability to
get a job. Because sports, just like any business, it's
about relationships, and the relationships you create when you're a
starting quarterback carry over to when you're a backup. Guys
want guys know they've worked before before, they know all

(01:19:03):
the idiosyncracies. Are they a hard worker? Are they a
good guy? Do they have uh? Do they have um?
You know? Do they have their morals moral compass in place?
So this yearning for Kaepernick, like the very small group

(01:19:23):
of people that would swear by Kaepernick, one of them
was in Baltimore and that thing got blown up by
his girlfriend's post and two of his the two of
his three head coaches are in college. If he wants
to start from Michigan or for U C. L A.
I'm sure they'd have it happily. So all right, The
story of the day, the news of the day, the

(01:19:44):
nod if you will, is that Urban Meyer has announced
his retirement from Ohio State. Urban Meyer done that Ohio State.
Myriad of questions, what is this due to Ohio State
in the future? And will urban Meyer ever coach again?
We'll play for you what Urban said and I'll decipher it.

(01:20:07):
I'll tell you if I think he's gonna coach again,
he's not going to coach again. We got that next
hour as well. What happened to Jane Jeremi? Is he
joining us? Or no? Is he bailing on today? Can
on do today? Wow? Okay, Mike Lombardio will join us.
We'll ask him if he thinks urban Meyer coaches again.
Plus we're gonna ask him charges for real now? Was

(01:20:29):
didn't didn't believe in the charges before? Does he believe
in him now? We'll discuss next in the Doug Gotlip Show.

Here's a tweet. Ryan Mallett has barely impersonated an NFL backup.
Was so bad in Baltimore that he derailed practice at times,
couldn't be bothered to make the team play in Texans,
but he's steady getting workouts. Kaepernick has never thrown, has
never thrown for an NFL team since the forty Niners

(01:21:14):
cut him. Um, it does tell you like NFL teams
that want to win, it does tell you that they're there.
Also is there is more to the Kaepernick thing than
just the protests. Just want to point that out to people.
But gonna be fascinating as people continue to beat the
Kaepernick drum. Where once we get to weeks seventeen this year,
you go two straight seasons, you are in fact done,

(01:21:37):
which is different than college football coaching. We're the longer
a guy is away, the more you think he can
come back and do it again, her bed words, never
coached in college, coach in the NFL. Come back. Now
he's at Arizona State. Obviously. Uh. Urban Meyer announces earlier
today that he was going to retire effective at the

(01:21:58):
end of the Rose Bull. Here's urban Meyer talking about
if he'll ever coach again. Urban As you sit here now,
do you believe you will not coach again? I believe
I will not coach again. Are you fairly certain? Like? Certainly? Um?
Do you so? Do you anticipate staying in Columbus and
being around? The decision was a result of accumulative events

(01:22:19):
and health number one, The fact that we have an
eleague coach on our staff, the fact that our program
is very healthy, We've recruited very well. All played a
significant role in this. And I can't say this is
the reason, this is reason, but uh, there's cumulative reasons
that we're at this point, cumulative reasons which leads you
to believe if some of those reasons are eliminated, then

(01:22:42):
all of a sudden, now he could be back in
coaching like he is going to be the most sought
after commodity in coaching in a year, assuming that he
gets his health right assuming now he had a procedure
and he has assist on his brain and he had
severe headaches. And you know, whoever hires him, Like, if

(01:23:05):
another big job like a USC opens next year, you
do have to ask yourself how long can this guy
actually do the job? Considering he'll be a year older
and his last two jobs were ended because of health concerns.
I think he actually is more likely done than not done.
And here's why, um one, he left Ohio State. Okay,

(01:23:32):
Ohio State is a top five job on anybody's anybody's radar.
Ohio State's an incredible job. Plus it's home. He's an
a lumb there to walk away from that, whereas he
could have taken a leave of absence, he could done
a million different things to walk away from that, you're
walking away from your dream job. Florida wasn't his dream job.

(01:23:54):
Florida was. And people remember he Notre Dame was open.
They flew him in. They offered him two million dollars.
Florida offered him four million dollars. And it was that
and Jeremy Foley and the level of commitment at the
University of Florida that led to him becoming a gatorhead
coach and winning two national championships. And when I say

(01:24:16):
it was four million dollars, you're like, oh, well, he's
about the money. That actually is why I think he
might not coach again. He's been making five million dollars
a year, with the exception of his year off, for
the last fifteen years plus. There's a chance Urban Meyer,
in walking away, has somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty

(01:24:39):
million dollars in cash saved up, not even counting what
he has in stocks and bonds, in real estate and whatever.
The money has so dramatically changed for college coaches that
they can and will walk and stay away, which was
in the case previously. It's a lot like why why
Calvin Johnson retired? All right? Calvin Johnson retired not because

(01:25:03):
his body hurt, but because his body hurt enough to
where he could stop and think and go. You know,
I got like sixty million dollars seventy million dollars in
cash in the bank. I don't really need this anymore.
It's the same reason I believe Dabo Sweeney won't leave
Clemson for the NFL, and neither will Lincoln Riley. There

(01:25:25):
used to be a time in which you could only
make money coaching in the Nashal Football League, and now
you can make five, six, seven, eight million dollars in
a college town. Why would you go coach in the NFL.
Why you get fired a year, two years, three years
in whereas in college coaching at these elite schools you

(01:25:45):
got better peep players than of the other teams. You
can build yourself a ridiculously unfired able contract because schools
don't have that kind of money. So I think a
Meyer has done done, but I'm willing to at least
admit that he's going to listen to USC. He's going

(01:26:08):
to listen if you know, pick what other plumb job
that he hasn't in a conference if Notre Dame comes
available right a place that he was an assistant once before.
The money now is so ridiculous that guys can actually
choose when they want to walk away because they don't

(01:26:30):
have to do it for the money. And it's not
as much fun as it used to be. It's just not.
Now you're concerned about your coach's behavior at home, your players,
and how they treat women. While it was always a concern,
now you have Title nine to worry about, which you
can't really involve yourself in, but you have to be

(01:26:51):
cautious of. I'm talking about Title nine investigations. In addition
to winning football games, competitive environment, the population is fleeing
the Midwest and moving to the South. And then you
have your health, which is a legit concern to anybody
who looked at him and watched him as thought, you
know what, that dude is not right. That dude is

(01:27:13):
not healthy. He did not appear to be happy. The
whole idea of coaching is you don't ever have to
grow up, right. You get to tell kids how to
play a kid's game. He's had to be a grown
up for this entire season, and that doesn't strike me
as a ton of fun. And while people keep saying

(01:27:34):
usc usc usc, I could see that happening. Could see
it happening. But if you think you run into off
the field issues with your players when they're doing well
at Florida in a small college town like Gainesville, or
in Columbus in a much larger state capital but much
smaller city than Los Angeles, imagine Urban Meyer trying to

(01:27:54):
manage eighty five scholarship players in a place like southern California,
never sleep at night, never slip at night. So I
thought he was honest with the reasoning, with the timing,
and with why he walked away. He could have gone
another year and it could have gone better, but it didn't,

(01:28:15):
and the time was now because the replacement was in place,
and he legitimately does care about Ohio State. Look, I'm
sure he still ticked at them suspending him. He doesn't
think he did anything wrong. But in the once she
walked away from two gigs getting you to take a
third gig, I'm not sure I see that one. I'm

(01:28:38):
not sure I see that one good chance of Meyer's
done done, done done. Eagles are back from the dead
with their win last night. Cowboys appeared to be the
team to beat in the NFC, and are the Chargers
legitimately and honestly and actually for real because they came
from behind and beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Well last

Doug got Leap Show on Fox Sports Radio. Uh, let's
let's work backwards from Monday night football weird injury to
Colt McCoy aside where you know, breaks his leg kind

(01:29:43):
of leg whipping somebody else. What are your thoughts on
the Eagles now that we've seen them find a way
to survive and win, and now they've got another shot
at Dallas on the road. Well, look, I think the
Eagles finally played a game where they could score in
the first quarter, which is critical. But I think schedules tough.
You gotta go to Dallas, you gotta of the Los Angeles,
come back and play Houston, which may be a meaningful game,

(01:30:04):
I'm not sure, and then play Washington in Washington, which
will won't be a beautiful game for the Redskins. By
that point, so I think they're gonna have to get
something straightened out. I mean last night. But the Redskins
were ill equipped to play that game they had. You know,
have you ever seen a running backs run for a
ninety yard run and not gain a hundred yards? No,
it's remarkable, right, So look and the Redskins. You know,

(01:30:26):
people say, well, it's tough about the injuries. This happens
every year in Washington. Their eight and nine under Jake
Gruten in the month of December, so this is not uncommon.
What's going on in Washington? All right, let's let's continue
work backwards. Sunday night football, Chargers fall behind early and
it felt like, all right, here we go again. Chargers
take a dump on national TV in a big Sunday
night game. Then they woke up and they found Keenan

(01:30:48):
Allen on option routes against linebackers. Then they started to
run the football with Justin Jackson, rookie at Northwestern. Suddenly
they gained confidence. They get the lead. Uh, they went
on a game winning field goal. They did get three
opportunities to make that game winning field goal, and everything
we thought we knew about the Chargers goes out the window, right,
they actually can win a big game. What's your level

(01:31:09):
of buying now that you've seen them against the Steelers
without Melvin Gordon, I mean they beat they beat the
Steelers about Melvin Gordon. They win and Seattle. Those are
two huge wins. I think Jackson when he started to
play in the second half, changed the game a little bit.
You know. I think it eight runs for seventy plush yards. Look,
Ler is a good player in his role, but they
try to increase his role in the first half. That
didn't work, and I think that really caused them to

(01:31:32):
get behind the eight ball. They need two backs in
their system, and I think Jackson came in and gave
them that. And certainly Philip Rivers has been outstanding. Look
the Chargers, you know, I first thought when they were
played in that small stadium Los Angeles, they'd have a
home field advantage because of the coziness and the comfort
of their They don't. I think they actually have a
warrior's mentality to go on the road, and I think

(01:31:54):
those two wins proved they go anywhere and win. And
they won a game with the special teams. Don't discount that. Yeah,
and thirty three Derwin James. He's pretty pretty special, right
Like look, Bosa and and Ingram upfront are incredible, But
thirty three's versatility in two thousand eighteen in the NFL.
A guy who can run like that, cover like that,

(01:32:15):
hit like that, that's the kind that changes the course
of a franchise's history. Is that Is that too much
to put on one kid? No? I think the look
that's he is the contemporary player that you know. I
wrote about it in my book. I mean Jamal Adams
that the safety from the l S U got drafted
early by the Jets is almost an anomaly now, I
mean he his physical contact and his ability to to

(01:32:37):
intimidate receivers doesn't exist anymore because the rules. But you know,
when you see Derwin James play on all three levels,
when you see him be able to attack the quarterback,
be able to tackle, and be able to play with
a lot of range in the middle of the field,
that opens up a whole set of of situations of
the defensive coaches can play into. And I think he

(01:32:58):
certainly is what everybody wants in the back end of
their defense. A versatile player who can play on all
three levels. Doug gotlib show here on Fox Sports Radio.
What about the Steelers? I saw this. Ben Rothsburg is like,
it's no big deal. But now they've lost James Conner
for a short period time. Hundred forty eight pass over
the last three games, only fifty nine runs over the
last over the last three games. How concerned should we

(01:33:20):
be about the Steelers with their past two losses? Well, well,
I think they haven't played pace. I mean, look, they
turn the ball over in Denver, they give a game away.
They have four turnovers, they missed the field goal. Two
of those turnovers occurred inside their opponent's one yard line,
So you know, the gift games away in the second
half of that game. You know, when you're in the
lead and you're throwing it over fifty times, something wrong.
You know, you've got to control the pace of the game,

(01:33:41):
and you've gotta be able to force the team that's
playing catch up to feel desperate. And they never really
did that in the second half. And I think if
you look at the stats, that game was an anomaly.
I mean, because would you build the lead in the
half you have a chance of winning when you're playing
at home, and the Steelers went against that so it
takes a lot to lose one of those games. That

(01:34:01):
was the perfect storm for for the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Steelers need to figure out how to play a pace.
This whole notion that we're just gonna keep trying to
score and outscore people. That works in a Big twelve,
it doesn't work in the NFL. Let's get to the
Carolina Panthers. Cam plays poorly. He was playing so well
early in the year and throws four picks, but the
the and the defense is struggled. They end up firing

(01:34:22):
most of the defensive staff. Um is that what's been
wrong is the defensive coaching. What's wrong with Carolina where
they go from dream season to complete nosedive. Well, look,
the Carolina Panthers have always been a team about their
defensive front. They've always had a win with their defensive line.
They've never been great great in terms of cover man
demand second, and they have one corner Bradbury that actually

(01:34:44):
can play. They're not a great coverage team. And I
think they've struggled all year on the road playing defense,
and no matter where they go, they have a hard
time playing defense on the road. And if the offense
can't carry them, it becomes a problem. The only quarter
that they've actually played good defense of it was the
fourth quarter against the Eagles where they've got some stops
and Cam brought him back to win that game down
seventeen and nothing. But I think there's a there's an

(01:35:06):
issue with Cam's arm. I don't think his shoulders a
hundred percent that he's playing through. And he's a warrior,
he's fighting. But you know, McCaffrey dominates the game against
you know, almost nine yards to carry running the football.
He's the leading receiver. Yet they make a lot of mistakes.
Their offensive line breaks down and they gained four hundred
yards and they don't win the game. They get four
hundred forty one yards against the Tampa Bay Bucks and

(01:35:27):
don't win the game because they make mistakes. And this
is the way it's been all year. Doug and I've
been buying into him. I think they're a talented team.
They don't play like a good team. Um. I want
to ask you about Odell Beckham Jr. Is on side
kick at the end of the game against the Bears,
and he does the old you know, business decision, stays
out of the way. But he's on the Hands team,
and he got a huge contract. What do NFL people

(01:35:50):
say when they see that play? Well, I mean, look,
you know, to me, you put yourself in front of winning.
I mean, look, that's the last time he'll be on
the hands team. Can you imagine that he never gonna
be on the hands team again, or at least he's
not gonna be on the front line of the hand seat.
And that was a critical player. Almost cost him the game.
It did, it should have cost him the game. And
you know, not being able to run up there. And look,
he makes a lot of plays for his team. He

(01:36:12):
does a lot of great things, but that in front
of everybody makes it hard. I think you have to
take him off those situations because he's not gonna give
you what you want. Stu gotlib show here on Fox
Sports Radio. That's the voice of Michael Lombardi, former NFL GM,
of course, has been in so many front offices. Nashville Bully.
Pick up his new book, grid Iron Genious Masterclass and
Winning Championships and building Dynasties in the NFL. If you're

(01:36:34):
the Green Bay Packers, what do you do? I take
my time. I think the one thing I learned from
al Davis. Many things that I learned from al Davis
is to take your time to find out what the
whole landscape is. I think if you're rush into this
decision too quickly, you end up missing the whole market.
There may be somebody out there that's the best coach
and he its just hasn't come available yet. The other
thing I do is I don't play into this notion

(01:36:56):
that I have to find an offensive coach to make
Aaron Rodgers happy. I think if you look at the Hackers,
when since Mike McCarthy has been there, their problems have
been a team problem as much as anything. They haven't
had great depth, they haven't had a great defense. They've
only been in the top five and defense twice in
terms of scoring defenses. So they've always been bad. And
I would sit down and say, look, we play in
Green Bay, Wisconsin, and we play in the frozen tundra.

(01:37:17):
We're gonna play four meaningful games in February and January
and December that are going to determine the fate of
our franchise. And we better have a team that can
play right handed and left handed, the team that can
handle the weather and the elements and if we don't,
we're not going to be effective. The Big twelve won't
work in Green Day, It's not gonna work. We've got
to be a physical football team and we have to
approach it that way. And I would take my time.

(01:37:39):
I would look at college coaches, I would look at
pro coaches, and I wouldn't limit to just oh, I
want to make Aaron Rodgers happy. I wouldn't go to
Aaron Rodgers and say, look, the best thing I can
do for you is make the best team, not get
you the best quarterback. Coach Michael Lombardi joining us on
the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Are
we ready to buy in on the Texans? At team

(01:38:00):
who you know? Like Kansas City? I want to get
to them in a moment. Has their failings in the playoffs,
The Texans are team like well long as they don't
match up. But all about the Patriots Texas and one
nine in a row. He has a little different with
Deshaun Watson. The defense has always had playmakers. What's your
level of buy into the Texans? You know, I think
anytime a team wins they gave to the NFL, you
gotta buy in right. I mean, I mean they've been

(01:38:21):
fortunate through those wins, but they want them. They've come
out the victory. They've played bad and one and they've
protected the football. And I think Deshall Watson has played
really well, made some incredible for us. I thought the
Browns had a chance to beat him last week and
they made sure of it rather quickly that that didn't happen.
And so their defense. To me, if you control the
football on them, you could attack the corners. The problem
is you gotta block j. J. Watt, you gotta block Whitney, Marcella's,

(01:38:43):
you've gotta block Javon Kyley, Davion Clowney. So that's a
challenge and that's things hard to do. I think they
are a good team, and they can run the football.
They create some problems. They're two tackles. Lamb and Davenport
have been penalty machines early in the season. They've cut
down on those. They've stayed out of first and twenty
one and fifteen, and they stayed ahead of the chains,
and I think that's proved beneficial. I think they're a

(01:39:04):
tough football team and they're getting tougher each win. Build
your mental toughness. Um, what now with the Saints? Right,
Saints get taken out of their game with the athletic
linebackers of the Dallas Cowboys. Do we dial back our
expectations of the Saints. No. I think the Saints are
really good, and I think the Saints will continue to
be really good. I think at some point you're gonna
have a stub, You're gonna kind of mess, make a

(01:39:25):
mistake in a game. Things aren't going to go away.
That was a tough venue to go. It's another week short.
You know, they played the Thursday after another Thursday and
had a lot of tough games in a row on
the road. I think don't ever really underestimate how good
the Saints are, especially because they can travel with their offense.
I think they'll be much better. Look their back up
their their backup tackle didn't play as well as he
typically had done. They get Armstead back to play left tackle.

(01:39:49):
Bush Rod really struggle blocking Gregory and I think that
was a problem. When they get Armstead back, that will
be much better. Um. Is Jamis Winston any closer to
remaining in Tampa? They have won two in a row.
He's played better. Obviously, there's there's the thought that that
there may be a coaching and regime change there. But
four touchdowns done receptions, quality quarterback rating all the last

(01:40:09):
three games. Has Jamis recovered from from his own failings.
I think he's really played well. I give him a
lot of credit. I've been one of his hardest critics.
I want to you know I was down on him
in terms of his character and his and his willingness
to put football first in his life and not make
dumb decisions. That he's done it really well. I think
he's come back. I think sitting down has helped him.
I think fear does the work of reason for all players,

(01:40:31):
and I think he was fearful for his career, and
I think it's reasoned with him and he's been able
to come back and make the throws. I give him
a ton of credit for he's played much better. And
I think even though they have a twenty million dollar
option for next year, it proves to be a prudent decision,
because early on it wasn't and I think now it
has to be based on the level of quarterbacks in
the NFL's not very many good ones. I think at
least you can work with him and I think he

(01:40:52):
can get somewhere any idea what Buffalo is doing cut
and Calvin Benjamin, I think Buffalo is very clear what
they're doing. I think they're saying, look, the culture matters
here more than anybody if no matter what we gave
up for you. I mean, Calvin Benjamin though really a
good sandwich away from being a tight end. And you
know he wasn't taking care of himself, wasn't making the place.
They gave up a third round pick. It didn't stop him.
Their ball about the culture. They're all about players buying

(01:41:15):
in doing what they want to do. If they don't
want to be there, they're gonna let him go. And
I think that's what's reflective of what they did. How
much does losing Kareem Hunt change the Kancity Chiefs on
the field in the playoffs, Well, I mean obviously it
changes them, but not as how people think it does.
I mean, look, he's got he had seven touchdowns in
the passing game, fourteen yards per attempt. I mean, he
was sensational in the passing game. He had thirty six targets,

(01:41:36):
twenty some catches. I mean, he was really good and
I think he was able to make place for them
in that area. That will be the hard area to replace.
Where can run the football. You know the consigned West,
he can run the ball. Damon Williams can run the football.
But those plays in the passing game are really are
going to be problematic foot Look, let's face in the
Chief's offense starts with the homes and an end for
Kyrie kill. Those two guys stretched the field with their

(01:41:59):
arm and their speech, and that makes the dangerous. So
that makes the other players around them more effective. Michael,
great stuff as always, really appreciate you joining us. Happy
holidays to you, Michael Lombardi masterclass and winning championships and
building dynasty's in the NFL. Plus, check out his podcast

(01:42:41):
Where he's going to talk about movies he's never seen.
And I have this actually great idea for a show
for you. Ready, you just talk so many names of
the movie, and then you talk about what you think
the movie might be about based upon the title. All right,
maybe i'll do the update. I can give you a
taste of it if you throw a movie at me.
All right, good, go ahead, alright, And Myer retiring is
head football coach at Ohio State. Gonna come after the

(01:43:04):
Rose Bowl game against Washington on New Year's Day. Urban

where he won a national championship and also went seven
and oh against Michigan. I've had to deal with the
headaches for many years and came to a head in
two thousands of fourteen, and then again last year and
then this year as well. So as a difficult time
that way as that then have an impact as much

(01:43:27):
on headaches, but it did have an impact, So health
was a part of it. Said, it was really cumulative events.
Ryan Day is gonna be the new Buckeyes head coaches.
The assistant is going to get a five year deal
to take over the reins from Urban Meyer. Cliff Kingsbury
going to USC where he will service Clay Hilton's offensive coordinator.
The Bills today released wide receivers Calvin Benjamin and Andre

(01:43:48):
Holmes well Redskins said. Coach J Gruden said the team
did discuss bringing and Colin Kaepernick to back up Mark Sanchez,
but they're going to go in a different direction because
they need to get someone ready in a short period
of time. There are reports is saying the team is
working out Ryan Mallett and Landry Jones. The Washington National
Sun Fregi Piccher Patrick Corbin to a six year deal
worth one and forty million dollars. Fox Sports Incenter John

(01:44:10):
Morosi says the trade market for medicine Bumgunner of the
Giants could be down to the Phillies and Brewers. The
NHL Board of Governors awarded Seattle and Expansion franchise, which
will begin playing the league in the fall of and
sixer scard markl. Foults out indefinitely after he was diagnosed
with an injury called thoracic outlet syndrome. Who need physical therapy,

(01:44:31):
but apparently it affects the nerves between the neck and shoulder. Doug, Yep.
I look the question with Mark ll Folts is chicken
or the egg? Right? Did he hurt the nerve and
then all of a sudden he lost confidence because he
couldn't make a shot or could he not make a shot,
and then he started shooting differently and that end up
hurting the nerve Music Do you think the nerve was

(01:44:54):
the injury first? For the thoractic outlet injury was the
injury first? Yeah? I do think that it was some
type of an injury, small or large. There's something happened
where it kind of he started to compensate for it,
and then I think from there it led to him
mentally overcoming these hurdles while trying to recover from the injury.

(01:45:14):
Agree Ramos, Do you think it was injury first and
then mental second? Yes? I agree with that as well.
I think it's pretty I think it actually is. Yes,
then no, than yes or then chicken egg chicken sort
of thing. Like, I think there was a nerve and
pinchment of some kind. Then I think he tried to
rehabit and he was fixing his shot or changing his
shot in the process, which made it worse. And then

(01:45:36):
he couldn't make shots. And then he started shooting the
ball even funkier, and it made the nerve thing even
more troublesome. Can we think of anybody else not to
this extreme that something like this has happened to? I can't. Yeah,
I I've seen hitches, you know, Um, Michael Kidd Gilt
Chris has had a terrible looking shot that he tried

(01:45:59):
to work through. Desn't Mason started having a hitch. Anthony Mason,
the late Anthony Mason Mary's played for the Knicks. He
had a weird looking shop and no, I I can't
remember that by are you there? You got you got
a moment here? Okay? So I was watching Good Morning
Football and they were talking about Michael Keaton movies. And
so what I thought was you talked about movies. This

(01:46:19):
is the Dan Buyer movies I haven't seen. I describes
movies I haven't seen. Show alright, yes, okay, okay, cool
about maybe two or three Michael Keaton? Have you seen multiplicity? No? Okay, multiplicity?
What's it about? Guy with multiple personalities and his family

(01:46:40):
probably has a difficult time dealing with all those different
personalities in his life. Um, sort of do you want
to give you the answer now? Okay. Multiplicity is the
story of a guy who feels like he's pulling a
bunch of different directions, So he has himself cloned and

(01:47:00):
the clone does all of the stuff he doesn't want
to do. Meanwhile, Michael Keaton starts kicking back. It gets
so good to him that he actually has a second clone,
and one of his clones is cloned and that goes
completely around. Oh, I hope you got paid a lot.
Sounds like a lot of different roles that he was
playing and it is actually quite quite good ramas. Did

(01:47:20):
you like Multiplicity? I was a fan. I enjoyed Michael
Keaton movies. Okay, how about this one? The paper? What
is the paper about? Oh? The paper? Uh? I think
I heard this? Is this about the the um Catholic
Church sex scandal in Boston? That's what I thought. Maybe

(01:47:41):
it was Okay, the paper. Michael Keaton is an editor
of a paper which appears to be something like The
New York Post, and there's a uh. He steals a
story off of the desk of the editor of the
New York Times interviews for a job with the Times,
he sees a story on the desk. He was the
story off the off the desk, and then they change

(01:48:03):
their lead headline for the next day and they get
a big breaking story for their paper that no one
else was able to commit to. Anyway. It's about it's
basically about the tabloid wars in New York City newspapers,
and it's very Merissa Tomas in it. Excellent cast, really
good nineties movie. I thought I was onto something when
John Ramos looked at me and kept on nodding his head,

(01:48:25):
So I just kept on going more and more. What
was the one about the newspaper that uncovered the the
Catholic church sex scandal? Which one was that it was spotlight?
Spot Spotlight, That's what it was. And I think I
saw Ramos nodding his head and then off Mike, I'm like, no,
that's Spotlight. I was nodding my head as a given.

(01:48:46):
You're like, hey, I knew that was wrong, but I
just want to like, hey, keep going, keep going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea, yeah, yeah,
you get going. You say, I'm family feud sucks. Here's one.
It's called My Life, My Life. Michael Keaton's in it.

(01:49:07):
Oh my Life. He's the narrator as he You don't
see him on camera until he's way older, but he
narrates the life of a young child from the age
of three all the way up until the later years
when he is widowed after the loss of his wife.
Uh no that I thought that'd be a good flip. Listen,

(01:49:28):
we gotta call some guys down the street in Hollywood
for for that one. Uh. My life is a story
of a guy named Bob Jones. Average guy, all right,
got a nice wife, got a baby on the way.
Then he finds out he has kidney cancer and he's
gonna be dead within months. So he sets out to
videotape his life's acquired wisdom for his child. It is

(01:49:49):
gut wrenching. It is absolutely gut wrenching. But I think
it's his best performance. It's really amazing. Um and it's
really sad. It's one of those ones. It's like, remember
the Julia Roberts movie Dying Young, Like, oh, you're like,
oh no, I'm sorry, you don't. That's the one where
the lady died young. Actually she didn't die young, sorry,

(01:50:12):
her boyfriend dies young in it. He dies of cancer.
But My life, all right, so that's the name for
that's your next I think that's great, right, what do
you think? What do you guys saying out an idea
of a show? That's how close can you get to
the actual movie if I just give you the name
of the movie. My one request is Ramos has to

(01:50:33):
be there to encourage Dan answer just like you're killing.
That's how I know. I never know if I have
a bad segment because Ramos just sitting there going, she's great. Ramos,
I made like five mistakes, like yeah, but you did
so and really passionate. I thought I was on the
right track. I really thought, I'm like, wow, I think
I think I may have known this one. Oh no,

(01:50:56):
you just not like movies. You don't have a d
D or you can't sit down for movies, TV show.
I know you're not playing golf, and I know you
love your lovely wife Lisa, but you were single for
a long time. Single male strikes me as a guy
who knows every movie possible. I can sit there and
watch eight straight episodes of a sitcom. I can watch
you know, diners, drive ins and dies for four hours.
But I just, for some reason, I'm not locked in

(01:51:19):
on one story that goes on for so long, but
that's a really good one. Yeah. I mean there's certain
movies that that I think, oh wow, that was a
really good movie. Or I'll watch that one, like when
Field of Dreams comes on will be Network, I'll keep
that one on. And and of course I love Hoosiers.
And it's not all sports movies, but just yeah, for example,
I'll keep those on and maybe watch I don't know

(01:51:40):
if i'd sit down from you know, front to back
or start to finish and watch a movie that I've
already seen before. But those are still some good ones.
You said you've never seen Usual Suspects. Ramis if you're
gonna give him like a movie, like, hey, let's make
Dan go watch a movie? What what? What would you? Oh?
That's a good one. I think Usual Suspects. Have you

(01:52:01):
seen six Cents? No, that's a good one. Those are
two Because I like fight Clubs? Did you like I
like fight Club? I like fight Club as well from
Pitt Edward Norton. Yes, excellent movie. There there's three music
you want to hop in? Any other thought? The second
rule of fight Clubs. Don't go see fight Clubs. I
never saw it. You just want to follow the rules. Yeah,

(01:52:21):
the very good line, very good line. Music you want
to I was always a fan of The Departed. Departed
is good, hey, hey, good answer, good hands. I feel
like his family feud. Nicholson, Jack Nicholson, Leo. Mob was
at a mom It's a mob band cop movie in Boston.

(01:52:44):
Is that the Whitey Ball was based on Whitey Ball?
Jer is a different one? No, yeah, it's the one.
It's not the one that's the true story with Johnny Depp.
It's loosely based on john was shaking his head no
to try to throw ran off, like no, no, no,
you're right, you're right, You're right, You're you're you're you're right. Uh.

(01:53:05):
And then I'll give you another one because that one
has Matt Damon in as well. Right, depart good will hunting,
good will hunting, All right. I've seen parts of it
because I remember Ben Affleck is a construction guy, right,
it's Ben Affleck, a construction guy. And so they go
to some construction sites, don't they aren't they? I don't
remember that one. I thought he was in school. That

(01:53:26):
that's that, you know? That's so? Um? Was he like school?
Tie is also goodies? Also, I thought Matt Damon was
like in a class and and uh he was. Robin
Williams was trying to help him. Rob Williams is psychology. Okay,
Matt Damon not in class per se. But yeah, um,
Big Mike, who also works on the show, would like

(01:53:49):
to suggest pulp fiction. Pulp fiction. Oh, that's one, Lisa
said the other day. You've never seen pulp fiction. I've
never seen it. You're like a guy who had who
was in a coma, that guy who's in a coma.
There's so many different things I'd like you to know
that you missed. Is it like uh oh oh, this
is like, um was it Tarzan? Right in Tarzan when

(01:54:10):
they show him like all the reels of things that
happen in real society and then he like learns about
him kind of on the fly, like we gotta Big Mike.
That's a good one. Pulp fiction is a good one
to start, and it will keep your attention because it
it bounces around and then comes together. The that's about
the citrus industry in the nineteen seventies, spreading lies throughout
Florida to get people to buy orange juice, pulpe fiction, pope,

(01:54:35):
pulp pulp, pulp pulp fiction. I go no pulp in
my orange juice. Yes, I I do like orange shoes.
There's a difference thing like the real orange joes and
then the pasteurized orange juices. I like the real, real
deal orange juices, even if it has a couple of
seeds in it. It's the end of one era in
college football is at the beginning of another. Find out next.

Dan Buyer, Captain Captain America have not seen that. For
the record, I did see Lincoln. I did see Lincoln

(01:56:04):
in the theaters, and my wife and I were planning
on seeing Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born, but
haven't done it yet. And I think A Star's board
is probably making its way out of theaters, so we
may have to wait for a you know, the the
Netflix or a different sort of release. Right, the Star
is Born Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Yeah, she gives birth

(01:56:27):
to a star, because that's exactly that's exactly how it
goes down. How did you know, Dan, How did you know?
Did you have anything more on Mark l Faults? Because
I just want to tell the people he's out indefinitely
with thoracic outlets syndraw. Okay, that's the one Matt Harvey had.
Now Matt Harvey had to have a surgical procedure for it.
They're saying no surgery for this, So I don't know.

(01:56:50):
That's the legitimacy of the claims are gonna be are
gonna be questioned. Um, now, I'm interest to see if
you can come back. You know. Look, I continue to
contend you play him in the G League and if
he turns down open shot, you take him out, period.
Woade said out indefinitely, but more likely three to six weeks.

(01:57:11):
I know some of the seventy sixers were recommending that
he don't shoot for nine months. Come on, come on,
that was whatever was a pregnant pause after that job
three edge of pitcher Patrick Corbyan has agreed to terms
out a six year deal with billion dollars with the
Washington Nationals. How about that one to three of Scherzer,

(01:57:32):
Strasburg and Corbin Um Doolittle, Right, Sean Doolittle, Yeah, I
don't know. The Nationals continue to continue to amass a
ton of talent and not a World Series appearance. Now,
it should be pointed out didn't make the playoffs with
four out of seven years for in the last seven years.
But so sometimes we react more to the result in

(01:57:53):
the playoffs. But let's see what has with with with
Bryce Harper. Now, much in the news today about Urban
Maya retiring looking ahead for Ohio State, Ryan Dave is
going to take over, getting a five year deal to
be the next head coach of the buck Eyes. In fact,
he'll start recruiting tonight. According to reports Day earlier today,
it didn't take long for me to figure out what
the expectations were of Ohio State football. Number one win

(01:58:16):
the rivalry game and number two win every game after that.
I take this responsibility very seriously. Day, Actually a better
winning percentage than Urban crazy enough. Yeah, yes, Urban seven
and oh against Michigan. Uh. Taylor van Fleet just tweeted
at the show. Sorry, this is in regards to UH.

(01:58:37):
In regards to the Marquelle folks injury, she says, I
have this. Taylor van Fleet, by the way, a journalism
major at the University of Iowa. She works at d
I TV Sports Reporter Chicago. Sports are her passion. But
she tweets this, I've been trying to call got leave
show for twenty minutes to explain, but it's impossible to
get through. Do you guys not answer the phone eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox? Anyway, physical therapy worked

(01:59:01):
for me for a couple of years, but now I
have to get surgery. So she's saying, you can play
through it, but you have to have surgery. Uh, Taylor, hoop, Taylor,
you a hooper a tennis player? Or why do you
need your shoulder by gene to be shoulder be fixed?
But it's gonna be interesting on a thoracic outlet syndrome.
All right, go ahead. I'm sorry. USC is gonna hire
Cliff Kingsbury to be their offensive coordinator. I have I

(01:59:23):
have news on this one, right. Uh, they generally agreed
to terms. If he stays in college, he will go
to USC as our offensive coordiner, but in January he
can go to the NFL. They can buy him out
and he go to the NFL. So there still is
the possibility that Cliff Kingsbury keeps his options open. I've
been told by my source Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator position

(01:59:46):
is his dream job. The Green Bay Packers would he'd
also be willing to listen to. I've been told he's
been talked to you about different jobs as a head
coach in the NFL. So I think as of now,
headed to USC, but keeping his options open speak thinking
of that Packers job. Bivado list Josh McDaniels is the
favorite right now to be the next hit coach in
Green Bay at seven to four. Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley listed

(02:00:08):
at eleven to four, with these second best odds link
what is it? Riley eleven to four? Josh McDaniels the
leader at seven to four. I don't think Lincoln Riley
takes that job. I really don't. And Bavada did list
odds on the new nickname of the Seattle franchise. Totems
the favorite at minus one oh five, Emeralds at plus four,

(02:00:29):
and then the Rainiers sock eys in cracking at plus seven.
Cracking is great, chose The sacks are a sack fish,
you know, Sla fish. Hey, listen the Seattle team. They're
like salmon. They're always seeming flame it out there and
pressed the press like the cracking. The cracking is good,

(02:00:49):
release the cracking. No. Ramas didn't even give me the
nod on that one, maybe because I got it right.
Erban Meyer retires, I think he's undone. Once you retire
