Championship as Notre Dame looks to. become a national champion for the first. time since 1988 and the Ohio State. Buckey are looking to get to the top of. the mountain once again a team that had. to watch Michigan do it just a year ago. and then lose to Michigan this season. lose the Oregon now has an opportunity. to potentially call themselves world. champions.

national champions the best team to take. the field this season the road to this. game tonight has certainly been an. awesome one I've been incredibly lucky. to be a part of it every single Saturday. with college game day we went through. Texas we're up in Oregon obviously. across the North and the Southeastern. part of this beautiful country and. tonight we Crown One champion that'll. get rings and Banners and stories told. about them forever will it be Captain.

Leonard Jeremiah love Xavier Watts. Marcus Freeman in the Notre Dame. Fighting Irish we got a heavyweight. fight here in Atlanta and we're. incredibly lucky to be on the sideline. for that game for our field pass on ESPN. 2 I'm obviously not alone here and. there's a lot more than just a college. football national championship happening. on this particular Monday obviously it's. Martin Luther King Jr Day hope you take. a moment to celebrate that and. everything about what our world and our. country can be and is hopefully heading. towards it's inauguration day up there.

in Washington DC a new era is beginning. in our country there's a national. champion tonight and the NFL's. divisional round is coming off a. recordbreaker weekend man there's so. much happening we're so incredibly lucky. to be a part of all of it thank you so. much for watching and allowing us to do. this for a living it's not just me the. toic tables here at Boston Connor and at. Tai Schmidt one half of the hammer done. Cowboys AP tone is here obviously the. living legend a man who whenever he. walks around these parts especially with. the Ohio State in the national.

championship he is revered as if some. God is walking amongst mere mortals for. the Ohio State Buckeye fans AJ Hawk. ladies and. gentlemen Ohio State back at the top. it's got to feel good for you and. everybody that is from that glorious. state of Ohio yeah this Stadium. obviously uh we were here a couple years. ago we saw the Bucks lose to a great. Georgia team so I think Ohio State. people are hoping for some for some. Redemption tonight hope yeah there was a. commissioner potentially that was. reminding uh you know us potentially. about all the Horrors that have happened.

not hoors Horrors that have happened. down here h o r r o r two RS yeah and. they want at the end and an H at the. front uh no dub save the dub but the. horrors of Ohio State in this particular. building a nine-year NFL vet one of the. smartest Minds in all football Darius. Jay. Ballers dbut it's great to see you and. it is an honor to tell you that football. is the greatest sport that has ever. existed divisional round weekend had. record-breaking numbers ESPN has just.

reported that the Chiefs Texans game had. 32.7 million viewers that is the most. watched NFL game on ESPN in the history. of the network and the reason why people. were tuned in is because the Chiefs is. still the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes is. still Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelce still. Travis Kelce Andy Reid especially with a. byee is still Andy Reid coming off a bye. let alone spags and to the Special Teams. coordinator but in a massive moment.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are. going to make plays Travis Kelce has. sended himself in postseason folklore he. is now a leader and receiving yards he's. going to become a leader and everything. if he continues to play after this. season which all signs are indicating he. will he had his best game by far the. season up over a 100 yards receiving. obviously had a touchdown where Patrick. Mahomes did something absolutely filthy. falling forward diving hitting Travis. right in between the eight and the Seven. which will be a bassive part of the. conversation today after the divisional. round and then with the fireworks going.

off behind Travis Kelce with his lady in. attendance sitting next to Caitlyn Clark. it was a magical day for the Kansas City. Chiefs but the conversation of this. particular. game. everywhere everybody is seemingly saying. that at the beginning of those games. over there when they sing the national. anthem what they should be saying is the. home of. the chese. [Music]. oh they're calling them cheaters yeah.

they are they're saying the reps are. working in Patrick maham's favor they're. saying that all the bull crap calls that. we hate about football seemingly always. go in the championship's favor how come. Patrick Mah's always getting these calls. everybody else isn't get Lamar Jackson. who we will certainly talk about later. he got hip drop tackled on his sideline. super late no call at all this comes. right after a game where Patrick mahs. will see flopping on the sil which. everybody say you can't do that if. you're going to be the face of football. you can't be flopping around like that. you can't be taking advantage of the. situation that you are Patrick Mahomes.

Houston Texans hell of a season thank. you for representing the AFC. sou but Houston Texans I think Joe makon. and many others even coach demo Ryan. said you know what it's going to be when. you're playing Chiefs okay you know what. it's going to be no what does that mean. we all just have come to understand that. the refs are going to help the Kansas. City Chiefs that is seemingly The. Narrative that everybody's bought into. if you're a Chiefs fan you say hey sorry. ball bounces our way if you're the rest. of the NFL you're certainly going to be. finding reasons to hate the team that's. gone back to back as Super Bowl champs. and looking to do something that no team.

in the modern era has done which is win. three straight but it has got loud and. Troy Aman was basically I'm done with it. awesome this is [ __ ] all of it I. don't like any of this stuff the calls. are crap they're trash I don't like the. way they're calling this game I don't. like the way Patrick M trying to take. advantage of it and I think as that. continues to happen maybe the rest will. have a little better eye on it all maybe. they'll be able to stay focused but this. is what happens when you're at the top. of the mountain this is literally how it. goes now the Chiefs obviously move into. the AFC Championship congrats to them.

that is absolutely awesome one half of. the hammer done Cowboys who they going. to be playing over there another dream. match up in the AFC Championship yeah. another dream match up they were playing. the Buffalo Bills and everyone expects. me to absolutely destroy the Baltimore. Ravens I I am not going to do that today. really no because if if I were to do. that if I were to blame Lamar Jackson or. if I would to were to blame Mark Andrews. I would be a loser according to Dan. orlovski I saw that danovsky said if you.

watch that game and you want to blame. Lamar Jackson for the loss respectfully. you're a loser course and he said if you. want to watch that game and you want to. blame Mark Andrews respectfully you're a. loser so Tony you want to be a loser in. Dan rovi's eyes because if you're a. loser in a loser's eye I mean. that's not's a loser I didn't mean that. that came out. wrong but that is sports media World. somebody's going to get blamed is kind. of how it immediately works we knew this.

was going to happen with this bills. Ravens game the loser was going to get. some terrible things said about him even. though both of them have had an. absolutely wonderful season the Buffalo. Bills though I think I forgot as. somebody that picked the Baltimore. Ravens I forgot that all they need to do. is just win this game it's not about. like can they win every game it's not. like who's more dominant who's more. spectacular him dropping off to the. tight end in the middle of the field. okay you got it Shakir making some big. catches then they go empty backfield. who's tackling the 6'6 240lb guy who's. used to the snow all they had to do is.

prepare for one team in one situation I. think the snow helped him even though. Baltimore's no stranger to the cold. weather and in the third quarter the. Baltimore Ravens they come out they do. AFC nor football pan pan P pan and it. works yes it did first half I think they. had like 21 yards rushing with Derrick. Henry then in the third quarter I think. they had 70 yards in one drive alone. Derrick Henry Patrick rard the offensive. line just pounded that Buffalo Bills. team that only plays nickel they're too. small they're not going to be able to. handle it and two-point conversion what. do they do they throw it they throw the.

ball and there's a couple different. times where there's been five I guess. two-point conversion attempts this. season for the Baltimore Ravens Derrick. Henry's got the ball and none of them. not a single one of them as Derrick. Henry got the rock now that is going to. be judged that is going to be picked. apart but this Buffalo Bills team wagon. and I think a lot of us forgot about. that yeah the Bills team is a wagon. obviously Josh Allen Lamar Jackson was. the Battle of the MVPs the guardian cat. boys were awesome last night Taylor rap. had an interception then Demar Hamlin. kind of he was the one who got Mar's leg. on the uh on the fumble where Von Miller.

took it back but no this kind of been. like the story of the Ravens in the. playoffs they haven't been able to get. it done and and if you go back to last. year Z flowers you know he he fumbles on. the goal line if he goes in there the. Ravens win that one then you you start. this year first game of the season. Isaiah likeley tow out of bounds by half. an inch to start the season another game. this year where it was 1810 they score. against the Steelers to make it 1816. they got to go for two they don't get. the two two point conversion there um.

and then obviously in this one you know. Lamar leads an incredible drive down. gets a chance to get the two-point. conversion doesn't work out you know. everyone is killing Mark Andrews for. that situation but it's just another. situation where the the Ravens didn't. come up as they should have in a big. spot dbut your thoughts on this game and. your thoughts on how we should be. viewing this obviously Mark Andrew is. going to feel terrible he was on the. sideline getting busted up he lives and. works for this moment here now granted. 133 left on the clock Buffalo Bills. still have two time. nobody seemingly saying like Josh Allen.

could potentially Chiefs you know what. the Chiefs think to him and over time. when they had to change the rule to this. Baltimore Ravens team all he has to do. is get in field goal range no offense I. know it's just all he got to do. especially against a great Baltimore. Ravens defense wherever the case is I. tend to believe on this particular. season in this particular game Josh. Allen probably 133 he might score too. fast AJ Lamar might get a chance to come. back and tie it again on the other side. with the way he'd been playing what are. your thoughts on how that game ended up. D down the ball security and you can.

point at Mark Andrews you can point at. Lamar and AJ kind of talking about it. earlier before the show like you know. this is one of those games on good teams. at least everybody kind of looks at. themselves and say hey what could I have. done uh better I think the the Ravens. defense they play well especially with. all things considered you know given. those turnovers but you can't you can't. beat a good ball club like that in their. house turning the ball over like that so. the fumble strip sack from DeMar Hamlin. he'll get credited for that and then the. interception that he threw late and then. obviously for Mark Andrew is going to be. a long long off season that sucks but uh. it was too two great quarterbacks two.

great teams uh you can't point the. finger and blame it on one guy but uh. Buffalo got it done Chiefs bills yet. again more teams get a shot to shine but. they don't down to the same two on the. AFC side now let's go to the NFC more. teams get a shot to shine holy [ __ ]. rookie sensation starting to crack into. territory than nobody's ever been. anytime they start saying this the first. rookie to do this since there's only. been three rookies that have done this. more wins than these rookie I mean Jaden. Daniels is doing in the moments that.

he's doing them the way they go about. doing their [ __ ] is bananas the amount. of pressure that has been on this guy's. shoulder fourth down we're going for it. it does not matter he seemingly picks up. every single time I believe uh in the. playoffs thus far uh Jaden Danos and the. commanders have scored seven touchdowns. on five of those touchdowns they have. either gone for it on fourth down and. that was the touchdown or during the. drive they gone for it on fourth down. this kind of Dan Quinn's Mo everybody. talks about mcdc being his MO this. Commander team which a lot of people are.

calling the uh the uh I think I'm kind. of the shade but I'm not going to say. but a lot of people are talking about. that you know but this Commander team AJ. there's a chance that they could shine. I'm a Believer and you know this game. this National Championship I think a lot. of people were like is no Dame have. enough talent to keep up with the whole. state with what they've been able to do. I just saw the commanders beat the Lions. I don't think anybody expect that in. Detroit but this Commander team's a real. deal they might win the they might win. the [ __ ] super Wasington Commander.

team yeah they might and everyone's. talking about like we know Jaden Daniels. and all the praise that he is getting. but I think you almost can't say enough. about this dude I think what I I think. about when I think about that game. Detroit came back and they got it within. three points towards the end of the. third quarter Detroit makes it a game. here we go within three on the road. Detroit has some momentum what does. Jaden do he leads him on a 15 playay 75. yard drive that ends in the touchdown to. Brian Robinson a one yard run like this. guy just he's unflappable and we say. that a lot about other quarterbacks I. think but Jaden's on like like there's. levels to this like Jaden the way like.

unbelievable by Terry mclen right here. as we're we're watching but I think when. a quarterback has that Moxy when he has. that cool calm demeanor that I've said. it a million times on here it trickles. down to everybody on the roster every. player and every single team or every. single coach I should say like Cliff. kingsberry has to feel so confident. whatever he's calling into to Jaden. Daniels like he knows like this guy he's. going to protect me he's going to. protect the team and he's going to. protect the ball and that's what that's. what they that was a fade away yeah B. what supposed to do right do it and then.

Zack hers obviously what he has become. for this particular team he and Cliff. kingsbery have a great relationship but. it was like buz saww Juggernaut the over. obviously we all thought was going to. happen but I thought the lions were. going to be able to just joust with. anybody because they've had to do that. all year but what this commanders. defense taking the ball when they have. to now obviously Jared gof throws for. three interceptions Jameson Williams. throws one interception then there's a. fumble in there five turnovers by the.

Detroit Lions abnormal game for them. people were saying it was a Jared goof. football con man I didn't like that at. all yeah well guess so fairy tale is. over Detroit you guys are a dump again. it stinks for you but I hope you had fun. these last two years cuz it's done mccb. I mean he he's one of my favorite. coaches I love the emotion from him but. uh he is now the Motor City. crybaby easy everyone's called and it. stinks because you know if I were to be. the head coach of Jared go I'd probably. be crying to cuz that was embarrassing.

now for the record he did get uh. concussed in the second quarter when. they had their pick six cuz he got. absolutely obliterated and if you have. to bring in a high school coach to pay. quarterback for a couple plays that's. never good Jameson Williams kind of uh. with the sweet little return and then. having sex with the ground only to turn. around and throw a terrible interception. is brutal but I'll tell you what it. stinks I feel bad for mccb and you know. they're losing both their coordinators. Ben Johnson he's out of there he doesn't. want to.

no according to in his words Black Adam. Sher Adam Pacman Jones Ben Johnson he's. now the head coach of the Raiders his. words not mine and I I trust him Kelly. Mo heading to the Cowboys as well we'll. see what happens there though but it. stinks for Detroit I I genuinely feel. bad it's hard to win Super Bowls and I. told foxy this morning I said hey foxy. story's over brother I hope you enjoy. these last two years you guys are going. back to the dump you're paying goof $215. million for the next four years so I'm. sorry the MC Championship he's won game. they won games yeah absolutely in his.

biggest game in the Super Bowl with the. Rams he scored three points but that's. not again we don't have to bring that up. who that against who was that against. against Patriots in this building that's. Bill bich brother that's what sha McVey. has so much respect for absolutely and I. do too and sha McVey is W of the Super. Bowl without goof now but again look it. it just sucks I feel bad for Detroit I. feel bad for the people of Detroit I. feel bad for Eminem people are saying Le. liangelo ball might have tweaked his way. into a curse but again I saw camon talk. about that there's a lot kind of legit. there was a lot of different opport. perform it's a big game in Detroit big.

it's been in a long time you go with who. I mean a little bit of a hook obviously. decisions were made out there obviously. that's going to happen so stay in the. NFC the commanders beat the lines and. Foxy I don't think it's over I I think. MC DC's culture is cemented in there I. think you're going to win NFC North's. going to be tough going forward having. to rebuild and re reclimb and. reinvigorate reignite remotivate. renegotiate I mean there's a lot that. has re sign offense and defense. coordinator we'll find out here in a.

second there's a lot that the lions are. going to have to do but I think mcdc has. got to figure it out right or are you. heartbreaking broken I'm heartbroken but. I trust mcdc but everything you just. said is why I am so heartbroken it's. going to be so hard to have that season. again it's going to be so hard to have. this team go in and try to win a Super. Bowl expectations have never been this. high and we played our worst ball at the. most important Time of the Season golf. wasn't good coaches weren't great. defense got it exposed it was I mean as.

a fan of a team that has gone 0 and 16. that wasn't heartbreak that was just. embarrassing but this one was so. heartbreaking worse than the NFC. championship game last year and to have. to redo it all again be the on it's just. going to be so. hard and I'm bummed. out you should be bummed out we're all. bummed out for the entire city of. Detroit and uh you know didn't even win. a playoff game you know Foxy's big dream. there for a long time was 9 and seven.

win a playoff game 10 and six win a. playoff game that's what he wished for. his entire life they didn't even win a. playoff game 152 no playoff game had a. home field advantage could have. throughout the entire. millions millions of more dollars coming. to the city for another game instead. they lose mcdc is going to motivate we. don't need to take shots at the city. they're going through it mcdc is going. to remotivate and get Kwo and then who. are they going to be taking on in the. NFC Championship the Washington. commanders will be traveling to where. the nation's first Capital debut this. Philadelphia Eagles team is an absolute.

Wagon in that weather yesterday it was. obviously Matthew Stafford's Matthew. Stafford yeah mad respect big oo puka AA. has an incredible catch Matthew Stafford. has a couple no Lookers the snow. seemingly didn't affect him except for. the turnover when he was going to go try. to hand the ball off or whatever the. case but that Philadelphia Eagles. offense that Philadelphia Eagles team. and that snow that weather feels like it. was set up for them to go and s sequan s. gone anytime he gets the rock there an. opportunity and now goes to Philly so. you talked about those elements who.

knows what the elements will be next. week obviously a familiar opponent with. the commanders coming in there it's be. that third time facing off but all the. things that a AJ talked about with uh. jayton as far as the confidence you have. it's the same thing with 26 like Jaylen. Herz he comes out and throws for 130. yards you got a guy like this who you. can hand the ball off to and you know as. a defense he went for over 250 against. the Rams back in week 12 so as a defense. you're keying in on 26 all throughout. the game first quarter breaks a 62 y to. get him out in front. and then in the fourth quarter he breaks.

a 70 something yard to make him go up. two scores so you know you know 26 is. going to get the ball outside those. tackles once he hits a gap once he. breaks a tackle on that second or third. level he is out the gate to take it home. so when you have to deal with this run. game on offense and then obviously. Philly what they have on defense. monsters all up and down that roster I. mean Harry Roseman he's done an. incredible job putting this roster. together but this saquan Barkley. offseason move may have been the best. offseason move of the offseason and Mara. is watching it all you know and I say qu. is running down the field hitting.

himself in a helmet I think that's like. him saying like we knew like he knew you. know he always knew he was supposed to. be in these moments and what he was. going to be able to do the Philadelphia. Eagles offensive line AQ Shipley said. can't win even though you have the. greatest offensive line in football they. showcase that you certainly can here's. some stats I got from hembo as you read. some others on the screen here sequin. Barkley in the fourth quarter this. season 108 rushes in the fourth quarter. 719 rush yards which is an average of. 6.7 yards per seven Rush touchdowns. which is an average of 43.7 yards each.

one and then in two games this. postseason saquan has run it 20 times. for 141 yards in the fourth quarter he's. a closer vers is also a dog I'm excited. to watch that Rams team but congrats to. the Philadelphia Eagles and all the. John's over there maybe serion is in a. big dumb dip [ __ ] Ty oh maybe you know. maybe this guy just wins and again we. can pull up the graphic of him being the. you know youngest winningest coaches. quickest to whatever number since he's. been in the league there it is most win. in the first four seasons there's been a. lot of pretty good head coaches in the.

NFL listen I know this guy sometimes. puts his foot in his mouth in his press. conference okay okay it happens I know. sometimes he gets to the game and he's. got some John in the crowd calling him a. big dumb dip [ __ ] to his face and he. can't help himself he can't help himself. He's a Philly guy at heart so you know. he's going to turn around and say oh. yeah watch this watch this and then boom. saquon's taking off for 70 yards so I. mean obviously the Eagles are. unbelievable can't wait for that game. next week excited for our got Coupe as. well cuz I know you know oh c shout out.

C exactly tell me something. C he he's real pumped he is he should be. as he should I mean seems a real deal AJ. you think they got a chance go what do. you what do you think a you like the. Eagles next one I do I love the Eagles I. love saquan I think the commanders have. a good chance to go in there and get a. win oh sorry CP ohow no offense to C I. love C everything that he has done kick. his ass C unbelievable resume his IB. page is pretty legit but I think we're. going to be for a barn burner and. joining us now I think championship game.

is going to be awesome yeah and shout. out to Jaden Daniels just dropping. himself right into the spotlight there's. going to be four teams left at the end. of the season we're going to be one of. them Jaden Cliff Dan Quinn new ownership. congrats to Washington guys should be. incredibly pumped joining us now senior. NFL Insider at ESPN front of the program. Michigan man ladies and gentlemen Adam. schfer Chey how you doing pal what's. going on hey happy National Championship. Monday uh obviously Michigan was the. reigning Nation Champs until tonight. when we Crown somebody new so congrats.

to you this is it for you guys and. hopefully you're back next year now. let's talk NFL a little bit here shall. we we chit CCH about the Detroit Lions. and Foxy said he was bummed out foxy. said he was bummed out here's a clip. from today's press conference of Motor. City Dan Campbell chitchatting about his. offensive coordinator and his defensive. coordinator mcdc looks incredibly. stopped incredibly jocked he's in a. hoodie and he says I'm preparing as if. I'm losing both of my coordinators I'm. preparing as if both guys are going to.

be gone it's not 100% sure but he's. preparing Ben Johnson Aaron Glenn how. quickly should we see a team make a move. in hiring them as a head coach or is. there still a full process in this thing. shefy they're going to fly here because. once the lions were eliminated it. accelerated the hiring cycle that much. more so you're going to see Ben Johnson. get a job you're going to see Aaron. Glenn get a job I would imagine that. both those guys have jobs no later than. the middle of this week both of them and.

the lions will lose both their. coordinators we've talked about that. before it's obvious right now there're. these are the top two guys out there. right now in no particular order Ben. Johnson Aaron Glenn Aaron Glenn Ben. Johnson they're going to get jobs. they're going to have multiple. opportunities it's just a question of. where they want to go right now and so. that's what that's what they're sifting. through so shefy at the combine agents. talk to general managers about players. have all the back channels already been. chatted about for Aaron Glenn and Ben. Johnson now whether or not it's a good. fit between those two and whatever team.

they're going to have agents already. kind of figured out what the pay would. be who's all interested who's meeting. where or does that literally start today. because they're focused on ball up until. a loss well Pat as the coaches are. involved in the games let's just say. last. week Ben Johnson's getting ready for the. commanders Aaron Glenn's getting ready. for the commanders they have agents. agents are allowed to talk over and over. and do their business and gather as much. Intel and put together their boards and.

figure out all the answers to the. equations here so so that if and when. these guys are available which many. people thought it would be after the. Super Bowl they're ready now so. essentially they're handed dossier of. information on organizations and where. they would want to go and then they sit. down and again the process is. accelerated to where they have to just. make the decision about where they want. to go do they want to visit somewhere. first do they want to close in the deal. what's going on behind there where we. got I think they're testing some shots.

here I think this guy's also got a great. beard a lot of good beards down here in. Georgia not 100% sure but okay so. they're going to read the pamphlets get. introduced and then obviously do some. face Toof face time you would assume and. to your point visits or however they. want to do it however they want to do it. but my point is I I don't think these. guys will be on the market much later. than the middle of this week if that. like it's going to move it's going to. move everything got accelerated okay and. it's a for Detroit that that is the case. because obviously what the offense and.

defense has been able to do defense with. so many injuries offense just being more. creative than everybody they play we. assume Ben and Aaron are going to be. great head coaches in place Good Luck. Detroit Good Luck Good Luck you guys are. going to find backups wor are you guys. going to be able to find no it's not. it's over thanks for a great regular. season boys let's talk about a team. let's talk about a team that is still. going but certainly something that. should be monitored Tai has a question. for you shefy yeah shefy is there any. kind of update on uh Jaylen herz's knee. obviously yesterday when he got kind of.

twisted up there he went into the. medical tent Kenny picket was warming up. but he came back in but it limited him. quite a bit there there was the safety. and then now just looking ahead uh is. there do we have any kind of update on. on what the Eagles can expect with. Jaylen Herz going into the NFC. Championship well T I think the first. thing we operate under is he came back. in and he finished the game so it's hard. to imagine that he came back in finished. the game and he wouldn't be out there. this next week sort of testing finding. something that's. which we haven't heard to be the case. just yet so barring anything unexpected.

I expect that Jaylen Herz would be out. there next week now he's taking a. beating here in the last month or so. between the concussion between that. injury yesterday I don't know that he's. going to be operating at full strength. for Sunday's NFC Championship game but I. think at this point uh with the. exception of more news coming in it. would be an upset if he's not out there. okay so let's stay in the NFC shall we. tone has a question for you yeah Chef I. thought I saw a report where cliff. kingsb OC of the commander said he was. not going to interview with teams until.

after their run was over um does that. have anything to do with I believe the. Cardinals are paying him his head coach. salary through 2026 is that the full. head coach salary and is he do you think. he is actually going to interview for. jobs or is that going to be past you. know their run is going to be too long. to be considered for any of these jobs. well I think by the time the commanders. are ready to interview it most of the. jobs may be filled so that's number one. number two I think Cliff Kingsbury is. very happy in Washington he's got an. incredible quarterback a Transcendent.

quarterback and so yeah between making. money in Arizona having the head. coaching experience that he did he's not. rushing to become a head coach again. would he like to be one day I'm sure but. it's not something that he has to rush. to go do and if the right opportunity. comes along at the right time I'm sure. he would be open and amable to that but. he's not going to force that and I think. he's more focused right now on the NFC. championship game Sunday than anything. else that moment between Quinn and uh. Cliff I think last week after their win.

where he comes up he says like stick. around kid or like we want you here we. love you here kid such a cool moment. Cliff not having to be a head coach but. still getting a head coach of salary. with Jaden Daniels who's doing awesome. things sounds like a good life we'll be. excited to see what Cliff does he's made. quite a name for himself let's go over. to the AFC side now Baltimore obviously. loses to the bills uh there's no. conversation about harbar or anything. like that right ever I mean he's been. there a long time long long time there's. nothing. again in this league Pat I I never want.

to rule out anything cuz anything's. always but I I have not heard any of. that like he's one of the great coaches. in the game he's one of the great. coaches in the game not going anywhere. in my mind but you know that's that's up. to them yeah interesting I I didn't know. because everybody was talking about how. hot it would get for Lamar and Josh. Allen it's like what about I mean every. anytime you lose everything gets. readjusted resorted I think of John. Harbaugh when I think of Baltimore. Ravens but also they haven't won a long. time they got the MVP he B by far has. not played his best their team has not. played best in the biggest moments.

certainly worthy of a combo I love what. Lamar said after that game I love the. way he operated I would love if Lamar. was my quarterback but man it has to be. heartbreaking loss after heartbreaking. loss after heartbreaking loss for the. Ravens I don't know how they deal with. it now let's talk about some of the. coaching searches shall we debot has a. question for you yeah Chef you heard. earlier this week from uh the Black Adam. shf Adam Pacman Jones He said Kell Moore. would obviously be the next coach in. Dallas but I saw a tweet from Florio. saying that uh Brian shatam shimer I'm.

sorry was now the favorite in Dallas. what the hell is going on in Dallas with. their head coach of search and who is. the favorite in your opinion I think the. one guy who knows is Jerry Jones and. Jerry Jones is certainly apt to change. his mind from day to day and again I. think the candidates have been out there. so far I I think Bri Shiner is the. favorite in Las Vegas here now that. doesn't mean that Brian shimer isn't. going to be the head coach at some point. in time again we never rule out anything. but to the best of my knowledge he. hadn't even interviewed for the job and.

Dallas hadn't approached him about being. the head coach I think the Cowboys. absolutely love and respect Brian shamer. and they want him there but I don't know. that that's as the head coach right now. now again the process will unfold and. we'll see what twists and turns it takes. and maybe it leads them back to Brian. shimer as a head coaching candidate at. one point in time Brian Schottenheimer. was like the hot guy out there roughly I. don't know was it a decade ago a decade. plus ago when he was the offensive.

coordinator of the Jets and he turned. down some jobs and I I think there's a. lesson there in that when you're a. coordinator and these jobs come along. when you're a GM candidate and these. jobs come. along you you can't wait yeah too long. you you have to you have to strike when. you have the opportunity and it would be. great if Brian shaer were to get another. opportunity I haven't heard that that's. happening yet maybe it does happen down. the line but to my knowledge right now. that's not the case okay shotty. obviously comes from football family. been around a long time we'll be.

interested to see what Jerry Jones. decides to do we have two quick ones uh. for you shefy on this glorious day AJ. has a question for you shefy any update. on Mike McCarthy and what he may be. doing if he doesn't get a head coaching. gig do you see him coaching somewhere. else this year like what's the deal with. with. McCarthy oh I you know I AJ I haven't. gotten that far down the line to know. what he would do if he doesn't get one. of these jobs I think he's in play in. New Orleans I think he's been in play in. Chicago um I think he's a legitimate.

candidate in both places so I don't know. that he's gotten there yet that he's. thinking okay I didn't get either one of. these and now what do I do um that. that's two steps ahead of me right now I. think people are more interested to see. if he finds a way to get one of these. head coaching jobs which which I think. is possible right now okay uh excited. for Big Mike obviously he got in the. coaching cycled a little bit late last. question here for you Sher we appreciate. you go ahe con man yeah sh sticking with. Chicago Eddie George he's interviewing.

there is that a real opportunity and. then also you reported that the Bears. reached out to the Steelers for a. possible trade with for Mike Tomlin with. other teams what were the other teams. involved and what was kind of that. conversation like well it was a pretty. short conversation because they reached. out to the Steelers and the Steelers. have no interest in moving on from Mike. Tomlin and Mike tomlin's got a no trade. clause in his contract and as he himself. said last week to any teams that would. approach the Steelers about a potential. trade exploring a trade he said and I. use his word save your time but again I.

think it's smart for teams to at least. make the call if it's a five-minute call. and they say no thank you fine but who. knows if they ever would have any. indecision there or second thoughts and. maybe they would be open to that. conversation they weren't they're not. he's staying he's not going anywhere so. the Bears got shut down good for them. for trying another team just kind of. checked into it peripherally to see what. the situation was and they were told. that he's got a no trade clause that he.

doesn't want to move on from that was. the end of that conversation and Eddie. George listen he's one of the 16 or so. candidates that the Bears have had in. he's he's obviously had a legendary. career such oh yeah yeah Great Character. so you bring you're bringing everybody. like you want to hear what everybody has. to say sounds like the 33rd team's doing. some Consulting for a lot of teams we'll. interview everybody that's just the uh. best way no stone unturned any of these. jobs you said Aaron Glenn Ben Johnson. prob by middle of a week is that when we. should be expecting probably next big.

news break in the coaching Cycle World. well it could come today it could come. tomorrow it could be it could be any. moment like with any of these guys. that's how it is with Ben Johnson and. Aaron Glenn all right and um again like. I said the loss on Saturday changed. everything so as opposed to all these. teams waiting everybody's been waiting. for these two dominoes to fall before we. can place the rest of the board and. figure out who's hiring who because.

again with Ben Johnson Vegas. Jacksonville Chicago all want them with. Aaron Glenn the Jets the Saints Jaguars. all Raiders all interested in Aaron. Glenn so where's Ben Johnson going oh. he's going there okay where's Aaron. Glenn going and then who does that lead. behind as the other three openings and I. put Dallas own little category so I. think everybody's waiting to get answers. here from Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. before the rest of the coaching board.

Falls but I think again once they go. which I think will be relatively quick. yeah then the rest of the board then. falls into place all right we appreciate. the hell out of you shefy your man. ladies and gentlemen Adam. Sher all right we go from uh one Legend. to a College Football Hall of Famer. ladies and gentlemen the greatest coach. of all time a man who has won how many. of these uh seven seven seven of these. things I only remember the three we lost. okay could have won 10 ladies and. gentlemen Nick Sab coach coach how you.

doing boss doing great man how are you. so you said you lost three so you've won. seven lost three you've been a 10 of. these uh I talked to Marcus Freeman and. Ryan day yesterday I believe was that. yesterday morning yes yeah both very. comfortable felt like they were both. very very comfortable both very loose. what do you think they're trying to kind. of say to their teams at this moment is. a hey everything's the same or how do. you think the coaches are kind of. feeling in this moment here just our. away from The Natty well I I think one. of the things that I always tried to do.

was H how do you get the team to manage. the disruptions of a game like this. because players get exposed to things. they are not used to being exposed to. more press conference more media more. attention Peter herb Street turn around. and then the second thing is is um both. teams just came off of big wins so H how. do you sustain that and and not have you. know the players you know feel a little. relief syndrome like I'm entitled to. have having a little time off here let's. take it easy cuz you got to restart it.

and you got to get ready to play the. next game and I always told the players. look when you play in a national. championship game you got to assume when. you start preparation that you're. playing against the best player you ever. played against and that's how you got to. get ready to prepare for this game so. you can play your best to dominate your. box and it's still keeping it simple you. know keeping it simple I have these. coaches calling me and say how'd you get. your team ready to play a national. championship game. well you just played a big game last. week MH how'd you get your team ready to.

play that game CU if there was a better. way to do it you'd have done it last. week we should be doing this all season. not just one game you know players like. routine you know you guys played I mean. you like routine you like to know when. you come in on Monday this is what's. going to happen when you come in on. Wednesday this is what's going to happen. so if you change that routine you're. just you're just acting and making the. players think that they don't have. confidence in the way they did it before. yeah and I I believe that was a big. report yesterday I don't know if it was. Molly or Holly I saw in sports center.

that basically said there's only one. voice talking to the Notre Dam Fighting. Irish team and it's Marcus Freeman. because a lot of people maybe assume. outside like hey let's bring in somebody. to come speak to the team it's a big. game Marcus Freeman's your point is like. this is just hey how do you feel about. this particular year and how it's gone. you got to win four big games to win the. national championship you just talked. about it the Ohio State team are cotton. bow Champs Rose Bowl champs and they. beat the hell out of the SEC they're. Civil War Champs that's just in this one. playoff and then Marcus Freeman has won.

more bowl games at Notre Dame than Brian. Kelly did in his entire career at Notre. Dame just this year you talk about the. massive games is it do are we going to. inevitably get the right team because. these teams have to show up in these. massive games Time After Time there a. lot to ask a team I think show up four. straight times against the best in the. country yeah well I think it's a lot. like the NFL playoffs you know the best. team doesn't always win the game you got. circumstances around it you got. turnovers you got people getting hurt uh. like Notre Dame's probably not at full. strength for this game you know they'll.

W down beat up got some guys out so uh. it's not always going to turn out that. way but that's why you play a tournament. you got to win the tournament it's not. about just the best team winning is you. got to win the tournament so has the. most resiliency you know to do that I. had resiliency there cuz I just dumped. water all over myself as you wereing. that was a very embarrassing covered it. up nicely thank you thank you I. appreciate that I think people saw me. probably just uh drool over myself but. yeah you got to show up you got get your. team ready to go AJ has a question for. you coach coach you mentioned you I.

don't want to bring up any any bad. memories but you said you lost three of. these National Championship games when. you went and you self scouted those. losses were you able to pinpoint. anything that you would have changed. Going back if you had if you could do. that or say the next year if you got. back that you realize okay this is a. speed bump that we don't need to we got. to figure out to not do that again well. I think each of them were different I. think only one of those games that we. really get beat in you know when we. played out in San Jose against Clemson. we just got beat but we had bad. circumstances in the game um you know we.

had to play Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. we had a 8-day turn around to get to. California a lot of travel a lot of. disruption in. practice um and you know we got out. there it was raining there was no place. to practice indoors so and we didn't. handle those how for you you were. impressed about this whole thing oh no. indoor facility no that's why I think. that these games should always be played. at Bulls sites you know because Bulls. sites have the facilities because. they're used to accommodating teams we.

played in San Jose they weren't used to. accommodating a team no disrespect to. Indianapolis when we played Georgia and. Indianapolis they they weren't used to. accommodating pretty pretty. disrespectful pretty disrespect it was. [ __ ] it was cold as hell and we had to. go practice in your Indianapolis Colts. facility which may be beautiful I don't. know what it's like now but it wasn't. really very nice I'm sorry we like. sh sh no but to answer your question AJ.

yeah there were always things that we. didn't do well in the game and in some. of the games I mean like we lost to. Clemson on the last play of the game um. I think in 201 15 or 16 I mean it was. two great teams I mean we covered them. and they caught it anyway and they. scored I mean it was just a great game. and we played a really good game we just. lost that happens in football could. potentially happen tonight there I think. tonight's game could go any way do you. agree with that I think there could be a.

buzzsaw I think it could come down to. the last second I think there could be a. massive upset I have no clue how. tonight's going to go strictly because. these teams have had to show up in. massive games already three times and. they both proven it do you how do you. what is your kind of judge on how. tonight goes anywhere I I think it it. who who can play their game which team. allows the other team to play their game. you know if Notre Dame's going to Winn. the game they're going to have to play. ugly you know that they they can't get. in a Three-Point Shootout if it's a. basketball game you know with Ohio State.

to make explosive plays to win the game. because Ohio state has too many weapons. MH but if they can make the game ugly. kind of like Michigan did you know they. ran the ball they kept it away from Ohio. State uh they made the plays they need. made they got you know get some. turnovers play good defense don't let. them get explosive plays I I think. anybody can win the game but I think the. team that's going to win is going to be. able to play their game there identity. their identity which has been proven. here already both of their identities.

have been proven you think about Ohio. State you talk about explosives that has. become like the stat of this football. season both in college and in the NFL. who can stop explosives and who can make. explosives this Ohio State team makes. explosives on offense and on defense and. they stop them and then Notre Dame has. been able to keep everybody in a phone. booth I'm very very pumped I asked. Marcus Freeman yesterday I said uh for. you guys to win what needs to happen and. he just he immediately said we need to. run ball we need to stop the run I mean. that is what we need to do was not.

scared to say it at all that is who we. are that is how we're going to win and I. think Ryan Day knew exactly who they. were too two teams that know who they. are coming in here very excited about it. dbut has a question for you coach yeah. coach you've been in so many of these. huge games and I'm sure most people. would assume you don't have nerves. coming into it what were your nerves. like coming into these huge games and I. know as a player like that first hit or. first coverage rep maybe a Target then. it kind of settles down and turns into. just football how are your nerves coming. coming into big games like this and then. kind of what what settled you once the. game kind of got going yeah I think I.

had nerves going into every. game and sometimes I was more nervous. about the games that we were supposed to. win you know like when you're a big. favorite but you're playing a pretty. good team and you know your team's. probably not looking at the game like. you need to but I think to ignore. anxiety I think all players and all. coaches have anxiety when you win to. games like this and I always thought as. a coach the most important thing I. needed to do was manage that anxiety. because that anxiety was not going to.

help you perform well and to keep things. simple play in play out do your job. dominate your box don't worry about the. scoreboard all those kinds of things. kind of minimize anxiety cuz everybody. wants to win and can we focus on doing. the things that we need to do to win. that was that was what I always tried to. promote to the players and I didn't want. to make them think that I was anxious. because if they saw me nervous and. anxious that means I don't believe in. them Tri oh yeah everybody noce and can.

feel even your assisant coaches your. assisant coaches can't be nervous either. cuz then they think well we don't have. enough we can't get the job done you. listen to music before the game what you. do did you listen to music I never. listen to music I kind of just thought. things through I did a little stretching. um oh really yoga you're a yoga stretch. it out no. yog I try to keep busy but I always had. like I made notes like of what I was. going to say to the team relative to. what I'd said to him the day before for. um what I was going to say to him in. halftime I always had notes on what do I.

say if we win what do I say if we lose I. mean I was. anticipating what what was going to. happen so that we didn't have to respond. and spur the moment type things you ever. break any uh headsets at National. Championship Games feels like a perfect. setting to go ahead and put one of those. through the ground well you know I broke. so many I can't remember the specifics. of when they happened but had to tone. has a question for you coach uh nobody. runs more manto man than this Notre Dame. defense and Al Golden's been asked a ton. about it this week if they are going to.

continue to do that against these you. know Ohio State wide receivers that are. very very good would you in that. situation like would you do would you go. out doing what you do the whole season. do what you do best or would you play. more Zone because of how these wide. receivers are gifted athletically and. just who they are well I I think that. yeah you want to be who you are but you. also want to look at what the other team. does technically you know their. strengths and weaknesses are and what. can we do to take that away and I think.

one of the things that like the thing. that we played a lot and people think as. soon as you say manto man that means you. got a middle of the field safety and. everybody's kind of locked up outside. but we actually played a lot of split. safety manto man all right which is what. Texas did you know last week you know in. the game Taff or whatever his name was. yeah where you got you got two deep. safeties but they're not not playing. half field coverage they're still. involved in the run to some some some.

degree but you can take and say all. right we're going to double number four. all we're going to double the guy on the. slot but you still got two high you're. not always playing middle of the field. coverage I think when you play middle of. the field coverage and you got great. wide outside here your cats better be. better than their cats because you're. going to give up you know that that's. the toughest thing in ball for the. defensive back to be able to play all. those balls and play manto Man short and. deep and not give up explosive plays. which is exactly what we've been talking. about but you know to that point people.

always think about turnovers and I we. did a thing last week on turnovers and. the number one statistic and outcomes of. games but the second most compelling. statistic and outcomes of games is your. turnover ratio and your turnover margin. not when it comes to turnovers but your. ratio in explosive Place how many did. you make and how many did you give up. it's the stat of the Year yes especially. with how college ball and the NFL was. it's like cyclical came back to like. power football if you were able to open.

a team up you were going to win the game. last question about what's happening. tonight before Connor pivots away and. into the NFL conversation Jeremiah Smith. this guy's special man didn't get the. rock a lot in the semi-final against. Texas because I think of what you were. talking about with the shade and then. they just basically said all right we'll. take take Iuka Henderson Judkins also G. Scott Jr and great name tight end from. Ohio State casir Casmir great name he. said we'll just use all the chip was. like cool you want to take take him out. we'll play 11 on or 10 on N basically is. what we'll do because what you're doing.

in the modern world that we're in he's. going to have to get the ball right I I. was thinking about this because Jeremiah. I know who your cousin is Gino Smith. West Virginia Legend sure mhm they don't. want to get you the ball there okay. what's that what are you doing you're. Lobby I see where you go here no no no. come on G let's not even say West. Virginia but let's just say the amount. of people in college ball that. immediately afterwards would be like. they don't want to give you the ball. there that's the world we in right now. and Jeremiah's best football player in. the country I mean that is by far and he.

still has to play two more years of. college ball it's like is that something. that plays into Chip Kelly's mindset. like we got to feed this guy just to. keep him happy or H how do you feel that. gets treated and is Jeremiah Smith going. to get his plays anyways regardless of. well I don't think there's any question. if you're the offensive coordinator and. I think Chip Kelly is one of the best. play callers but you're going to have. plays designed especially early in the. game to get the ball in his hands. whether they got to motion him over to. the slot throw him a a screen pass a.

slide or boot whatever it is to get the. ball in his hands it doesn't have to be. something that has to be down the field. because if it's down the field and the. defense has you know two guys one one. short one Deep Over the Top that Read's. not there for him so the quarterback's. going to throw the ball someplace else. so you can design ways for guys to get. the ball which this guy needs to get the. ball cuz he's a great player but the. defense can also determine where the. quarterback throws the ball by how. they're playing so you got to take both.

those things in consideration and the. quarterback can't force it there because. then you you you know you're subject to. turnovers and bad plays he he dropped. that one early that we saw where he. normally goes up and gets it and then. that was basically all we saw one for. three will Howard did a good job of not. actually forcing the ball to jerem Smith. I feel like he took what they what the. defense was giving him and what I'm. saying right now I like what they did. they played nowhere near their aame. mostly because Jeremiah Smith didn't go. crazy but the modern College World were. in it is what it is what is Michigan. Michigan has Larry Ellison right in.

their back pocket right he's worth how. many 200 billion or about about that. probably more actually today that would. be a heartbreak I'm not going to say. it's going to happen he ain't going. nowhere think he's. going why receiving you way how they've. been producing we know Brian okay I. agree but I'm just saying this is the. modern world that we're in like Ohio. state has to think about that that is a. real deal back in the day you never had. to think about that Jeremiah Smith what. he has been able to accomplish this. season nothing short spectacular cannot. wait to watch it will Howard also nobody.

really gives him much credit you talked. about his decision- making and not. forcing it anywhere what have you seen. from will thus far obviously at Kansas. state was great I think he was a big 12. player of the year last year Texas was. the champion of the Big 12 they make it. to the Cotton Bowl this year in the SEC. it's like will Howard's a player so is. Riley though Riley's like a Hooper it. looks like he's like a Hooper at. quarterback and his throwings getting uh. been getting better how do you feel. about the quarterbacks in this game and. how big of a role do you think they have. in the outcome of it all yeah well I. think will Howard has done a good job of. taking what the defense gives they got a.

lot of weapons now they got two really. good Runners they got three really good. receivers they got a good tight end so. he he just got to give the take what the. defense gives and they're going to be. able to do a good job I think Riley. Leonard on the other hand you know it's. more about him being able to be a runner. having more diversity as a quarterback. which he's done a really good job of. he's a really good athlete he's a great. competitor and his throwing has gotten. better especially the short throws where. they can keep you know the the sticks. moving they haven't made a lot of. explosive plays but that's okay if.

you're playing keep away yeah they've. stay uh stayed on schedule they say all. right let's get to the NFL now Connor. has a question for you yeah coach Jaylen. Herz obviously there's a lot of. conversation about him he kind of gets. killed on the internet for his passing. but you know he had a 44 yard touchdown. yesterday running the ball people kind. of ignore that when it comes to him. being a quarterback what do you think. about his performance so far and how do. you kind of think he gets better almost. as they head to the NFC Championship. next week yeah I think think he's doing. the things they need to do to win I mean. they're a running football team I mean.

that's what the Philadelphia Eagles are. they got saewan Barkley they run it. Jaylen can run it which he had a big. play last night as a runner uh so you. got to make people defend that and then. you got to throw the ball effectively. enough in play action game and I think. jayen is a good enough passer to do all. those things I think the one thing and. this is any athletic quarterback and. every one of them and when jayen was. with us we would have team and seven on. seven and I would say you cannot run you.

cannot scramble you cannot you have to. throw the ball on time and because these. guys are so athletic they see the rush. coming and they think they can scramble. and get out of it and a couple of those. sacks that he took last night he took. them because in normal circumstances no. snow no bad knee all that he probably. would have been able to escape and get. away and make a play and he's done that. so much in his career it's hard to tell. a guy hey don't do that but I I was. trying to train him to become a better.

ontime passer you know by not allowing. him to do it in practice and I think he. he improved in that regard but he's. still a great athlete and those guys are. going to make plays and you can't take. that away from him let's talk about a. great athlete who has done something. that not a lot of rookie quarterbacks. have done Jaden Dana was obviously when. he's at LSU you have to play against him. he transfers in there from Arizona State. everything that happened over there at. the end of his run those dudes got to. feel like the dumbest of all time in. that locker room he goes to you you have. to play against him a few times Kirk. herbstreet sat on this particular.

program when we were at Army Navy last. year and he said uh you know throughout. all these draft class this is a good. draft class for quarterbacks and it has. been I mean Drake May seemingly going to. be a guy pennic we think is going to be. able to be a guy we think Caleb has an. opportunity who knows in Chicago if they. get it right Bo Knicks is a guy uh in. Kirk kind of laid out all those answers. and then he said Jaden Daniels is the. guy though whenever people meet him when. they talk to him whenever they. understand his football knowledge but. also just his sense of calm that he has.

and then The Moxy and confidence in. which he plays with Kirk was like he's. the guy this was last year Army Navy. coming out I don't think he was the only. one but what do you know from him when. watching him at LSU obviously very. closely and could you have ever expected. this from him coming into the NFL since. Joe burrow which whatever what the year. that was when they beat us this was the. most dominating player that we played. against at Alabama for four or five. years and I said it last year in the. draft you know all these Pro people call.

and ask your opinion on people you. played against I said this guy is the. best player we played against for five. years and um I no disrespect to anybody. else you guys got to look at all the. quarterbacks but I think this guy is a. great passer uh he's fast as hell uh and. he can scramble and run and make plays. he's smart he makes good decisions uh I. don't see how you can go wrong with this. guy. and uh I actually thought he was the. best guy in the draft last year because.

of the production that he had in college. and he did it for two years yeah but. what do you know I don't know yeah. you're right about that yeah what do you. know I mean you don't know ball out in. this entire thing what's that there's so. much confidence in him like all all the. going forward on Fourth downs and as a. defensive minded coach how much do that. change I guess game planwise playing. against a team like Philly or a team. like buff it seemed like the NFL is just. kind of like fourth down Revolution as a. whole how do you feel that changes out. for defensive game planning well that's. that's that's analytics and I think one.

of the big things you have to do as a. defensive coach which we started to do a. couple years ago because all Miss would. go for it on fourth down Lane go for it. on fourth down all the time is defensive. players automatically think all right we. stopped them on Third and five we're off. the field. out looking for the for and and they're. going for it and your mindset changed I. mean you have another third down to play. so we actually. started scripting in practice all right. it's third and five incomplete it's.

Fourth and five you got to got to play. you got to go play got to go play in one. game you know we actually went five for. five on making stops on fourth down. which typically was not the case because. you never practiced it yeah and even the. defensive coordinators over there got. marbles in his mouth don't know what to. call cuz he thinks the punt team's going. out there the punt return Team all right. so all these things kind of work against. you because it's not your mindset but.

analytics changed all this you know. these analytic guys say if you go for it. on Fourth and three on your own 40 yard. line you got a 56% chance to make it. well my question was when my coaches. used to bring all that stuff to me was. I'd say well what happens the 46% of the. time never ask about that they never. answer that part yeah the analytics I. like how you do this with the analytics. feels like we can make a stat out of. anything is what what you just did there. with the analytics going for on fourth. down has been fun and I don't think.

we've ever seen a graphic maybe once. that has said don't go the ESPN stats. the NBC stats the Amazon Prime stats we. say go for it does that mean it's more. than 51% or what is cu that's a lot out. of a 100 times 42 times not getting it. even though 58 sounds good that is a lot. of not getting it on fourth down you you. talked about stopping it uh five times. one game I assume you won that game yeah. we did yeah that feels like a lot of. turnovers there all right coach I can't. wait uh for college game day starting at.

5:00 I do believe Eastern we'll be right. here then a national championship this. evening you've been awesome to watch on. TV this year hell hell of a debut into a. television career that you had this year. you need to know that well it's because. of you all you have made and taught me. how to be able to operate without having. anxiety MH cuz I had anxiety in the. beginning why you're Nick you're Nick. Sabin no but I not. based on doing this yeah you are no yeah. can I say one thing we got 30 seconds.

you better say it quick if you're be a. TV guy but you you brought this up about. Jeremiah Smith going to Michigan or no. no Virginia whatever all you you you. created that no did you're right so but. all I'm saying the people out there need. to know this model is unsustainable okay. it's not good for players I mean people. in Congress I don't care who has to get. off their butt and do something players. need to get compensated no doubt but it. has to be done in a way where we comp. you know some kind of way have.

competitive balance you know that every. school has the same thing one school. can't spend $30 million for players. while another school spending 3 million. great you're the one that's going to. have to fix it hour one wrapping up here. from the national championship we're. live at 5 Eastern we'll see you on the. other. side we have an opportunity to give away. $75,000. to a kid named Daniel via Senor. absolutely you're a sophomore correct.

Daniel damn Daniel we don't need that. you make a field goal here from 33 yards. uphill you're the civil engineer you'd. have to tell me I think it's about a 40. yard kick if you're able to do that we.

you st St damn it be a friend tell a. friend something nice could change their. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. life hello beautiful people and welcome. to Atlanta Georgia the hope of tonight's. college football national championship. it's January 20th hour two the program. starts now. a football it is wonderful we're so. lucky to be here we are just joined by.

the great coach Sabin who's won seven of. these but he has lost three of these. which he says are the only ones he. thinks about that's a shame I hope he. has a little bit of happiness he's been. fantastic on TV we told him as such. because whenever you have something like. that you need to let those people know. and speaking of people that I need to. let something know about talk to table. you guys have had a great year at BOS of. Conor at Tai schmi conme another. National Championship we shouldn't be. here what a moment yeah it's incred. inredible and what a match up for it a. seven versus eight in the first 12 team. playoffs you know we started with 12.

we're counting down to one it felt like. you know it was always meant to be here. but uh I'm just happy that it's here and. it's a bummer because of course it's the. last college football game for for a. little while here so it is kind of. almost nostalgic looking back at the. season Ty it feels like Iowa Hawkeyes. haven't played football in like two. years but we're wrapping up a season. here and you know new schools get a shot. to shine it's Ohio State Notre Dame. Notre Dame's back I know you're a. Catholic School boy obviously grew up. watching a fight in Irish big night. tonight potentially for that team up.

there in South Bend Indiana yeah without. a doubt uh more teams getting a shot to. shine or you know we'll get two of the. five winningest programs of all time. getting another shot to shine who. haven't had a shot to shine in quite. some time bar so I mean it's one of. those things where at the end of the day. yeah am I am I broken up inside because. the Hawks stopped playing what seems. like three months ago sure but at the. same time it's a big 10 country baby. okay Notre Dame yes they're independent. but they are a de facto Big 10 team. everybody knows that they play. basketball in the ACC that's [ __ ].

that doesn't matter I about say I think. everybody deao ACC team is what they say. they're not though they're right in the. middle of the country not too far from. us so they're a big 10 team as well and. you know next time we do a conference. realignment might have to throw you know. 500 million at him to get them out of. that NBC deal you're talking about. petiti over there at the big Tony petiti. is an absolute dog everybody knows that. uh we may have talked to Tony petiti a. little bit this morning let's just say. uh he's happy there's a chance that the.

national championships coming back home. where it belongs in the Big 10 this. would be back-to-back Big 10 national. championships if Ohio state was to win. which hasn't happened I think since 1965. or 1966 when Michigan State won back to. back so the Big 10 could potentially be. National choms for two straight years. for the first time long time especially. in this new time where there's a lot of. wondering of who runs this house petiti. is walking around [ __ ] of the wall. sank is here as well it's not get crazy. great to see him one half of the hammer.

Cowboys AP tone this weekend uh I saw. that I want one and three and I picked. all the favorites so obviously it was. good for the dogs this weekend yeah it. was so you went one and three cuz the. the Chiefs line moved a bit there but. closing line because the chiefs were 9. and a half I believe closing line all. the dogs went 4-0 on closing closing. lines this weekend obviously a lot of. people weren't happy with the Chiefs one. because of the safety late but no it was. a great weekend for the do dogs and uh. no not normally a good weekend for the. public when all the dogs cover big lines.

we thought going in there how about. tonight what's the spread this evening. has the line moved at all what are we. learning from what the sports books are. saying uh it's 8 and a half there's been. some between eight eight and a half nine. some there was a nine and a half for a. second uh out there this in this last 10. days or what whatever it's been but no. it's it's kind of hung around there uh. money's a bit on Ohio State it's like 55. 56% so not a not what I thought it would. have been I thought it would have been a. lot more Ohio State a lot of people. think it's going to be a lot closer yeah. but the Catholics thou hath bet on games. Bingo they ha bet on games they ha bet.

on games which we appreciate so you know. the Irish potentially shown up they. understand their team's got a lot of. fight let's go to an Ohio State Legend. AJ Hawk here AJ you like being favored. by more than a touchdown more than a. touchdown two-point conversion in the. national championship or uh how do you. think Ryan Day handles this now see as a. fan I do not like it as a fan I feel. like Nick sain when he said like it was. tough to get your team ready when you. are such a favorite because it's easy to. kind of relax a little little bit but as. a player I don't think you care I I know. it's a different time now but as a. player as coaches you don't care like.

you just see the enemy across the lines. and who you've been studying on film so. but as a fan yeah I do not like that as. a fan when I don't have any control of. the game I don't I don't like being the. favorite I like being the underdog chip. on your shoulder kind of guy I've seen a. lot of different maps about who each. state is pulling for nobody's really. pulling for a high state in this thing. thank you Marcus Freeman Marcus Freeman. has made Notre Dame very like even more. of a we know it's been an institution. everyone. the people who love Notre Dame love. Notre Dame but usually it's like you're. Notre Dame or you're not now it's like.

everybody loves Notre Dame and and I. think if you talk about the likability. of the Notre Dame team they do say. Marcus Freeman and obviously there's a. lot of Catholics out there we know that. is true a lot of things being said about. Brion Kelly yeah people not liked him. just kind of passively and actually. people don't love LSU right now either. yeah yeah and Jaden Daniel is what he's. able to do and what the tiger back on. the sideline though yeah that's that's. governor Jeff lry and I don't know how. Jeff lry is doing right now there's a. lot obviously but Brian Kelly's taking a.

lot of shots with this successful Notre. Dame team because he said not Dan can't. win a National Championship up there and. here's Marcus Freeman now he mentioned. Marcus Freeman obviously he's about our. age Ohio State Legend what do you like. about him I like that he goes at the. refs I do I like that he goes he's. always himself it feels like and he's. always professional always cool the boys. love him de I like how he connects with. his team and you saw it from the moment. he was introduced as a head coach in. that weight room and it's just. materialized and gotten better and. better uh year after year and for him to. be at this point you know after.

obviously Brian Kelly leaving but we see. like Notre Dame is putting out these. clips these videos of kind of behind the. scenes maybe some of these halftime. talks and even that game we were at. Orange Bowl with pen State like. everything was going away from them the. calls they didn't get any calls and it. was just so what now what his team. responds we always talk about teams. taking on the identity of head coach and. I think that's what we're seeing right. now with the Fighting Irish and Marcus. Freeman excited for tonight the Ohio. State Buckeyes have a lot of talent so. is no D yeah the Ohio State Buckey spent. a lot of money on their roster so never. D mhm the Ohio State Buckeyes have won a.

lot of massive games here in the college. football playoff right so is n Dame it's. awesome tonight is I think divisional. round obviously still a lot of hype. Lamar Josh yeah the commander beating. the Lions everybody's going crazy Taylor. Swift Caitlyn Clark at the Chiefs Texans. game they had a a single shot on both of. them and I don't I obviously I have not. done a research so somebody's probably. going to correct me which always. seemingly happens are those the two. biggest needle movers in the history of. women Taylor Swift maybe Mother.

Teresa I bet I doubt it nature. technology Ming the need Mother Nature. watches The Weather Channel I guess is. this these are the two biggest needle. movers in the history of women I think. yeah people will only argue uh Rihanna. and Beyonce Madonna they'd probably. throw her in as well okay so so then you. those people would all be competing. against Taylor MH mhm and I think Taylor. would be I think the. I think swies would be very comfortable. going to bat against Beyonce Rihanna. Madonna the whole thing I think they'd.

be very comfortable so you think about. Caitlyn Clark she's the biggest needle. mover in the history of Serena Ser. Serena maybe Sydney Sweeney yeah she not. in sports but I understand she's she's a. needle. mover she's doing some commercials yeah. Dr squash I saw that great commercials I. saw that she's a genie I saw the whole. thing uh so I. mean popular you got Taylor and sitting. next to each other then you got what. Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelce on the. field M and then you got a Texans team.

that was balling I mean they had not. played well you know at the end of the. year then they kind of found something. got rolling in there and then obviously. the refs are those videos of the refs. and Mahomes and Andy are those real. those photos I saw some on the internet. I think they were AI I don't I don't. know if Andy Reed fell like that they. were saying he fell on the field right. there too it seems like a weird spot to. be I don't know if he praed like that. the field right in front of the ref I. saw smooching yeah that's are those real. I don't think real I do appreciate the.

fact that we're at the point where. technology is so easy to kind of uh. utilize I I think there is a little bit. of a drawback where you can just go down. into into one of these either grock or. anybody else and just say I want to see. Patrick Mahomes sucking face with Ed. hawy and then grock says let me get 22. seconds real quick oh so that was AI we. we ran that through an AI Checker back. here there was no AI detector what about. the Andy Reid one the Andy Reid one had. to be fake that's what we were talking. yeah that one cleared no wait because I.

did not see him fall in front of the. refs the internet certainly got a I. guess a screen grab yeah yeah the one of. Mahomes and the refs can't be real. smooching yeah arm around each other mhm. little tongue in there that wasn't even. the worst one I saw on the internet. yesterday that's going to make the. internet diff that's going to make the. internet difficult yeah it's going to. make you can't believe anything you. either believe everything or you believe. nothing you sent me one that was crazy I. don't think that was which one are you. talking about it was just it was an. absurd one I I never even thought that. it could do something like that oh yeah.

yeah it's crazy crazy how they could. work like that people that aren't good. editors can really do some damage right. now on the you you put that power in the. hands of a very clever internet person. which we have done now sure it's going. to be tough to kind of I don't remember. Andy Reid falling to his knees no but. you look at that screen grab a couple. times it's like well who would have hold. on it could be grock or Mr GPT or Mrs. GPT yeah do apologize Ste in a hole too. much access 32.7 million viewers in that.

Chief's Texans game that's huge numbers. I was watching that game with my wife. she was hoping Travis would scores so. you know yeah see what Taylor's doing of. course then kitlin Clark pops up and. it's like there it is I think Brook. Shields was in this back row too great. actor from in her time really Brook. Shields was in there yeah of course wow. that's what I'm saying Brook Shield's. taking a back seat to all of them that's. how big they are so many stars so many I. think a couple more believe you mention. her when they were talking about the. biggest of all. time talking about Brook Shields yeah.

yeah legit I mean the game though was. awesome if you can get past the ref. stuff which a lot of people aren't going. to be able to and guess what next game. you're going to be able to find. something that the refs do for the Kan. City Chiefs that you're going to say. that the refs are on their side this is. what the New England Patriots had to. deal with for a long time I don't like. Patrick Mahomes flopping around on the. sideline but let's also remember Patrick. Mahomes just had newborn okay the guy's. probably not sleep he's making decisions. he wouldn't normally make Patrick. Mahomes understands he's a dog. understands he's a face of football.

understands he can do plays like that on. a team that's about to do something. that's rather historic and he can't be. flopping around on the sideline he's had. newborn yeah he can't be doing that. can't be looking like you're an NBA guy. that was tough can have it obviously. Troy Aman wasn't happy but Patrick B's. running on about 35 minutes of sleep. what do you think this guy's doing. that's why a little bit early he was a. little bit off his game missed a couple. missed a couple he was like oh I'm. playing football again hey snap right. back into it the people were saying the. refs are helping them snap back into it. though weren't they Conor yeah big time. and some of the calls you could argue.

for sure I mean the Will Anderson W to. start was egregious especially because. it was a third down and they ended up. going on to score on that drive and then. there was another one later on where it. was a 15 yard penalty I think that is. the biggest thing but that wasn't the. only game too people were bitching about. the bills Keon Coleman pass interference. for the Ravens yesterday cuz Keon. Coleman in the corner were hand fighting. it actually looked like Keon Coleman. pushed the corner Tony Romo said uh you. know that looks like a good call to me. and Jean serator immediately came in and. said no Tony that was a terrible call.

but again that happens in every game. it's just the Chiefs that gets amples. well the consistency too is the thing. like yeah that game that's all getting C. then we watch bills R there's nothing. getting literally nothing get called. there was like four late hits very clear. late hits and ref's like up h h h up we. go boys we're going to keep it rolling. uh speaking of keep it rolling I don't. know if you've been watching football. this weekend under arour law Ed a banger. of a commercial involving Jesus Christ. in a comedian that wasn't allowed on.

Saturday Night Live hey. God it's me. Shane I haven't been here in a while but. I have a pretty big prayer for you no. AES in the national championship on. Monday I know you know cuz you've been. with us the whole. time couple weeks ago that field goal I. know you had a lot going on so that was. pretty chill you took time to help us. with that I should also say I have not. bet on any of these.

games all right I have I half bet but. going forward if no Dame wins thou will. not bet on games for a month couple. weeks we'll probably better on Sunday. come on God I know you can help us. Trucking dudes pick sixes everywhere May. a couple fusi just please let know they. win a National. Championship hey what are you praying. for praying for not Dame what are you. praying for same all right cool sh.

sh what did you go to nerame yeah I went. to nerame oh I'm sorry that was a lie. guy no I didn't go to ner did you no my. uncle did oh that's awesome yeah all. right sh. sh sh go Irish go. Irish ladies and gentlemen the man who. knows the Bible inside and out Shane. Gill hey hey hey thank you for joining.

us man uh I love that the whole world is. just accepted you as a notre day. mouthpiece at this point commercial was. awesome how much uh of the Bible uh. knowledge played in to work there CU. when you dropped the hath sounded good. vow also sounded good it's just Bible. talk man yeah it's just good Catholic. Bible talk you think Jesus was listening. up there I think so when I hope so was. that guy Italian that was up on nothing. yeah it was an Italian man yeah I think. so I I think I've seen recognize him. yeah he works down the road right the. other shop uh okay how do you feel. National Championship day Real Deal.

Notre Dame's back in it let's go Shane I. don't know man it's you know scary I. thought I don't know I I was hoping to. be a little sharper today but last night. last night got away from me oh Runway. yeah yeah we thought we I was like all. right we're going to get in we're going. to take it easy Sunday night what didn't. happen you shut down Atlanta last night. little rusty Magic City no Magic City. damn okay really lemon pepper my. girlfriend's here no. no uh obviously the conversation is.

they're favored by eight and a half. depending upon some sports books they. think they have too much talent too much. skill too much power what do you think. it feels like you are actually a part of. this Notre Dame team in the locker room. in the commercials how do you feel about. the boys uh I I mean I love the team I. feel weird that that's you know it's. uncomfortable but uh why you're part of. the team dude you've earn it I no it's. just I didn't earn it I didn't earn it. at all yes you did if you're if you're. some nobody they're not just going to. let you talk for Notre game brother. you've earned it uh I feel good I feel.

good about the game it'll be you know. they've they've been apparently the. other team has had more Talent every. week and they keep winning so we'll see. you and I talked at the beginning of the. Season about Riley Leonard yeah cuz you. didn't put not Dame in the playoffs yeah. I couldn't just because at the time I. the only Riley Leonard I had known was a. guy who can't throw like a Duke he I. don't know if it was potentially the. weapons he had didn't have weapons or. the offense they were running but like. when we watched a film for Duke UNC we. went and did game day down there it was. like oh this guy he's great athlete.

Hooper like actual Hooper but he can't. throw I think you're he's been making. those throws feels like Riley's only. gotten better and his arm has gotten. better which I think is a big deal he's. got a lot better if you watch like I. mean week two Northern Illinois it was. like he's got to go and then he just. kept getting better and he's you know I. mean he got us to the title so do you uh. after the Northern Illinois game I think. all of us just like after Michigan for. Ohio State needed that loss for this. team to get to where they are absolutely. you said Riley Leonard got to go he.

wrote that basically in his players. tribute was like I felt like I let down. all of Notre Dame what week did you know. this team could go was there a time uh. no after after Northern Illinois I had. lost faith ad admittedly my dad had a. heart attack from that oh no no he's. back back he's worked his way back to. health he's here he made it all the way. back to Atlanta no [ __ ] he had actual. heart attack after Northern Illinois. yeah because of the game and probably. yeah he's back wow yeah holy [ __ ] yeah. he's back.

jeez come that was it how that was it. God I know if you're up there Marcus. pump his chest I feel like Marcus could. have pumped his chest and helped him. like Marcus is that good of a guy yeah. Marcus revived him what do you think. about Marcus what do you think about. Marcus Marcus is the man he's awesome. he's the nicest coolest guy yeah Brian. Kelly said he couldn't win national. championship. there yeah now he's he went to LSU and. he's going to ruin that program. chance Conor has a question for you so. when it comes to the actual game tonight.

like how do you see a playing out do you. think they can kind of go down the field. score 30 points hanging with Ohio State. are you thinking like hey let's make. this thing gritty let's make this thing. I mean you got to hope it's it's gritty. you got to Hope I mean you got to hope. it's Michigan Michigan Ohio State again. okay it can't be Oregon Ohio State you. know hopefully hopefully that rosebowl. team doesn't show up well they can't. against anybody they played their bad. game against Texas too so now. conversation is like will they get back. to being who they are but you guys make. everybody play worse than what they're. supposed to be which is i' picked.

against them every single time yeah pick. you're going to pick against again I. know you're one of the guys a lot of. Notre Dame people tell me don't even. consider you do it now yeah it happened. with Michigan last year so it might be. an homage me thinking I'm that important. also awesome you know that's a little. bit of a ridiculous thing but I think a. lot of people tone said there was only. 55% of the money was on Ohio State I. think we all thought it'd be a little. bit more but thou haast bet on these. games if you're an Irish Catholic yeah. no I didn't I didn't bet on this I I.

lost all my money on Georgia I put all. my money on Georgia vers sname just oh. split in a drunk moment of weakness. win-win Winn first I kind I like it. let's talk about I have no more money on. talk about the Eagles go Birds how about. that how about it God damn saquon's a. mutant he's a real guy yeah that's. awesome Detroit loses too so you have. HomeField now for the NFC Championship. with the commanders coming in NFC East. rival how do you feel about serion how. do you feel about the Eagles I I mean. I'm not giving you guys good stuff but I. like them no that's good enough I like.

them they're great did you hate serani. ever uh. no no he's the man T go ahead uh in. terms of tonight obviously you know big. underdogs if you want to call them big. underdogs Lou Holtz comes out and S the. pot again starts talking [ __ ] to Marcus. or not Marcus Ryan day we thought it was. over it's not over no it's still living. how do you feel about that whole. situation are you worried Old Coach. Lou's giv a little little more bulletin.

board material than I like I like L's. fired up from the inauguration oh yeah. he's pumped is he there that that's the. thing is he is he sitting in the front. row up there I do wonder I don't know he. put out a tweet this morning if you know. you know it was about a motivational. speech that he gave to the boys way back. and he basically went after I mean it. was a pretty big shot across the b r. they they replaced it was it was against. Miami and he basically said something. along lines with Jimmy Johnson like oh. save Jimmy Johnson's ass for me we'll. beat their ass in the parking lot and. you can save Jimmy Johnson's ass for me.

and they just replaced Jimmy Johnson. with Ryan day that's awesome L HZ is. awesome HZ is the man feels like all the. Notre Dame people have come back full. you know and that's good for college. ball to have Notre Dame good you agree. absolutely I mean you started a war with. Sabin by uh saying you know now. everybody could do it the north is going. to rise you know you North back dude but. it does feel like that big 10 could go. back Tob back national champions Notre. Dame has won what three bowl games. already pretty much this season and you. guys have massive support this isn't. ending after this season Marcus no it's.

not it's just the beginning but uh yeah. I saw I saw Sabin up here I was I was. back there hiding I was like oh [ __ ] I. was trying to figure out whether or not. we should link you guys no no I don't. think he. would I know I don't know you guys have. to link has to happen yeah yeah I would.

Shane my cousin my cousin's here too and.

the way the Catholics have been kind of. doubted and prosecuted left out and. prosecuted for this entire thing that's. unbeliev what's that they some of the. things they've done you know like are. you worried that if they are you worried. that if n Dame loses it's because you. went awall and left your post at army or. you're not worried about one of the guys. one of the guys was just asking me he. was like do you know this guy he was at.

obviously got voted in or they they deem. a game the national championship right. and then I assume Florida State won that. game Notre Dame was not in game so I. assume that is how it kind of all came. to be mhm Shane uh that dude's in the. middle of alltime run yeah how about. underarm just being like here's the idea. just if you guys could that's awesome. that's really cool eding it like. airport or yeah airplane whatever bingo. so cool quick Turn Around Tires 2 is. going to be great I'm very be amazing.

cuz I guess the first one was just kind. of put together like hey do we got. something or not Yep this one like full. on prepare we need him and saing to. shake hands or or just fight that'd be a. great beef yeah just to have going. forward Nick Sabin and Shane Gillis yeah. it's like the two polar opposite people. I don't think we need any of that all. right let's talk about a hiring that. took place in the NFL Tennessee Titans. have hired. Boran.

Pano from the Kanas City Chiefs as their. general manager so that's one of the. jobs that has been filled fantastic name. on this guy you know just like a lot of. these GMS we don't know [ __ ] about them. no we don't we don't know anything about. them assistant GM so he's with vich over. there the Chiefs he's been in the room. where it happens he uh knows what you. should be looking for Chris Ballard also. comes from that particular building. there's been a lot of people that come. from successful teams that get hired. into these roles and. the the brutally honest truth is this.

guy could be the worst of all time he. could be we have no idea but he's. Italian so he won't be we assume he's. going to be great we assume he's going. to do a fantastic job now Tennessee is. now in a situation where the head coach. was hired at a different time than. general manager are they going to force. them together like they have done the. last couple times and how does that end. up working out Tennessee Titans job has. been filled defense coordinator job for. the Atlanta Falcons has been filled as. well yeah Jeff coach brick out of the. running for the Jets oh yeah brick now.

defense coordinator for the Atlanta. Falcons with Rahim Morris as the Atlanta. Falcons try to do their thing a lot of. jobs still open Age which one would you. be eying Don if you were one of these. potential candidates what's the best job. in your eyes out there that is currently. available the best job the well an. interesting job when it pops out of me. is the Jacksonville Jaguars job for some. reason we continue I've forgotten that. job was even available I assume they. filled that Ro yet so that one I'm. curious to see who goes there but that. Raiders gig like the Raiders cow we all. know cowboys is always going to get some. get some Pub but that Raiders job I want.

to know what's going to happen there the. best job is the San Francisco 49ers DC I. mean you step in that's like they. swapped it out with five VI in a rad now. yeah but Bob if Bob goes back there. Salah coach Salah Robert sorry he's. interviewing him go for Bob go by Bob he. still has years left on his contract so. he's going to be getting a head coaching. salary guaranteed much like Cliff. kingsburry is currently with the. commanders but everybody assumed that. coach Salah would be heading right back. to San Francisco after a year with the. Green Bay Packers finishing it up you.

say you don't like that job because the. turnover so often yeah I mean they they. get guys out of there really really. quick they do have good players on that. side of the ball so that always helps. but if I'm looking at that list I still. think it's the Chicago Bears right now. because you have I I I'm still hopeful. I'm still optimistic with Caleb Williams. obviously you have to build and get some. more stuff going but I think he's still. a talented quarterback You Got Talented. guys uh on the outside so I I think that. Bear's job is probably the best of these. right now is is Caleb Williams addicted. to football working I think so right.

that was the big thing everybody was. saying after we got the Dome this guy. loves ball all the noise that we heard. surrounding him was more so his team it. wasn't necessarily him this guy loves. football he loves this because this off. season's a massive one for him and hug. obviously physically it's a big deal but. learning NFL football is going to be a. big combo every quarterback and Shane. Waldron's gone another offensive. coordinator's gone so you're going to. have more Anonymous sources that have. worked alongside Caleb and zitto what. happened to this guy's wrist do we know. what happened to his wrist I believe it.

was a cyst and they removed it it was a. healthy process throwing hands still. good okay that could have been a part of. the entire is you got you got a CIS GR. in your wrist while you're throwing it. around but like obviously physically. he's going to have to continue to. develop and become in shape and. everything like that but you listen to. you know the sources that are talking to. the quarterback gurus that are on TV. they're like this guy doesn't have a. clue this guy this guy is BAS. got to play whatever football he's. wanted to play at USC and at Oklahoma. and that was the Caleb [ __ ] that we. liked extending the plays running doing.

crazy stuff throwing strikes which is. like backyard football basically hey. wide receivers he's outside the parket. uh pocket now get open like in the NFL. you're going to have to be able to. understand what the defense is in you're. going to have to know what your first. read is your second read is you're going. to have to play on time it's like I. think if you listen to any of the people. that might have a relationship with any. of the offense coordinators in the NFL. that Caleb has had yet that that's their. biggest gripe it's like hey got to learn. Ball but he has an entire offseason to. do that number one overall picker. there's going to be a lot of pressure. for you to do that if he can develop the.

game IQ alongside the football and also. get some consistency maybe at the. offensive uh line and offensive. coordinator job maybe we shouldn't just. throw in the towel on Old Caleb yeah and. you hear you hear a lot of these things. you got to take for me at least who. you're hearing it from when are you. hearing it from them and then the. sources or whatever but once again I I. still believe in the talent I see the. talent now it is a big big big learning. curve when you come into the National. Football League and just understanding. where to go with the ball we hear it all. the time playing on time playing from.

the pocket allowing your Playmakers to. be their best and allowing you to be. their best as well and they're kind of. waiting for those moments to take over. the game and make special special plays. but uh if you look at his whole rookie. season it wasn't terrible you have Jaden. Daniels who played phenomenal you have B. Knicks who played great as well but if. you look at Caleb he didn't turn the. ball over a ton and he had some moments. where he he flashed so I think uh I. think it's still hopeful there okay so. May sorry just leaving out I mean they. played full seasons went to the playoffs. those guys were you know Head and. Shoulders 13 games I do appreciate.

everybody coming out and saying I said. it Jaden's the best guy in this draft. yeah that's really I said it coach sain. I think probably did actually that take. he had about Jaden Daniels I remember. him saying at the draft whenever we had. the that was his first like college game. day experience up in Detroit a lot of. people were were saying it I think. especially this rookie year they felt. like J will be the better player this. year now in full career we'll still see. but yeah Nick s said he was the best. player the most dominating player since. Joe burrow that you seen that's saying a. lot been in that SEC every year but a.

lot of people saw what he ex exactly. what he's doing NFL stage he did it last. year in college and won the Heisman so. you know that's not a crazy statement. but people are definitely taking their. Victory laps right now congratulations. to the commanders making it to the NFC. championship in their first year with a. new head coach new ownership new. quarterback new building new everything. that's a quick turn around that's just. like the Houston Texans who once again. lost to the Kansas City Chiefs but won. another playoff game it feels like some. places are on the right trajectory it.

feels like the commanders are obviously. going to become a blueprint uh let's. talk about a little College coaching. news Steve sarkeesian after his name was. floated for a couple NFL jobs he Sky. people want him he's an offensive Guru. he knows how to coach quarterbacks he. knows how to lead a program he knows how. to lead a team look out for maybe the. Cowboys or the Bears to want to maybe. look into Steve sarkeesian with has that. floated out for real was that ever a. possibility or was it being utilized as. a negotiating chip and maybe it was.

sarkeesian just signed a brand new deal. with the Texas law oh yeah. congratulations Sark Steve sarkeesian. agrees to a contract extension with. Texas after declining interviews with. two NFL teams okay okay any of the NFL. teams come out and said which ones they. were or that's not a bad play I like it. I I understand that he's a great coach. it maybe NFL teams are doing that but it. feels like more often than not when. college coaches names kind of get thrown. into the head coaching cycle or Carousel. in the NFL it's a potential huh I you. know what you're we could leave huh you.

think Marcus Freeman brand new deal. another day sweeten this a little bit. Steve SAR brand new deal with Texas it's. like if you got a winner you hold on to. that though AJ a lot of people think. grass is greener on the other side not. always the case Texas obviously. back-to-back years college football. playoffs obviously with Arch Manning. coming into us they're thinking that's. only going to continue smart play down. in Texas yeah smart play if you find. your guy you got to keep him do whatever. it takes like we know how much money is. Flo around college football and the NFL. like if you find your dude find a way to. keep him there and if you're a coach. absolutely try to get some interviews.

with the NFL teams and have your agent. let them know as well because you want. to know hey there's some competition you. can't just sit back and expect me to be. here if you don't want to reup me and. pay me what I'm worth options always. good during contract negotiations yeah. hey Dan Lanning you you need to get on. the horn right now and say bears are G. me the Jets are G me and to be honest I. might go to the NFL cuz if any school. could do it if any coach could do it. like Dan laning is number one I feel. like at that position yeah I uh I love. it for these guys it's so cool get all.

the money you can get College coaching. life is not easy we'll talk to bill bich. tomorrow in a weekly check-in all the. way through the playoffs I can't wait to. hear his takes on this Detroit Lions. team hey hey foxy we're about an hour. and 39 minutes into the program now any. changing your thought you said you're. bummed out earlier are all lions fans. feeling like that and is there is there. any like silver Ling in this like we're. much better than we were and have been. for a long time or is it all is it all. shite right now are we eating shite up.

in Detroit again certainly bummed out. Pat but from a grand perspective of my. 30-year life we just had the best. regular season in Detroit line football. history and every single week we didn't. just win we kicked ass we wonc North. awesome to your point Hawker the. standard was Super Bowl and we didn't. even win one single playoff game and I. have a stat for you guys I hope this is. correct but I believe no team has ever.

won a Super Bowl after losing both. coordinators so yeah if anyone could do. it it would be mcdc but I'm pretty. bummed out cuz next year is going to. look a lot different it certainly is. this is what it's like to have a good. team in a good program welcome to it. congrats to Detroit we love watching. your team in your program and your. culture build remember if mcdc is there. for 15 years what happens in the third. year you know amen it's a lot different. animal let's talk about Jaden Daniels. out against his Lions defense Aaron. Glenn uh interviewing with the New York. Jets today I believe it's being reported.

so shter said in the first hour they're. going to move quick on those guys Jaden. Daniels versus the Lions Jaden Daniels. rookie quarterback at LSU for the. Washington commanders MH zero. interceptions zero fumbles zero sacks. taken nine total incompletions after 31. attempts and he accounted for 350 yards. in total offense let alone all the. fourth Downs that they went for you know. the Lions had to watch literally. themselves beat them yeah you know and.

that's uh that's tough and you guys were. down two scores and it was like a. must-have yeah this one was over you. know you guys got back into it but it. felt like I don't know how much time you. guys are going to have or find but. congrats uh to the commanders being able. to beat this very dominating Detroit. Lions team that we've been a massive fan. of throughout the entirety Baltimore. Ravens obviously lose to the Buffalo. Beals shout out to razul Douglas yeah. that was getting the onside kick at the. end because if they lose that game there.

it's on him you know if Lamar goes down. you can't blame anybody and let's say. they you know they don't get that. two-point conversion but they do recover. the onside kick and they go down kick a. field goal Justin Tucker Hits that thing. they win it's like the the Josh Allen. narrative bananas okay the Josh Allen. narrative would be absolutely crazy but. he he gets his ball Frozen and being. there too being a corner and being's. nobody. Nobody's around him but but multiple. Ravens right there he knows if he. bobbles that even an inch mcder said we.

need it we got to have it who we put in. there West Virginia guy razul Douglas. and then I believe afterwards he even. talked about it because some people said. he was probably [ __ ] bricks out. there yeah some guy tweeted at him who. was like I know you were so scared on. this and he said uh [ __ ] that I've been. playing short stop since I was 6 years. old that was a routine ground ball was. not worried about it for a second and it. showed Justin Tuck gave his team an. opportunity in that cold ass weather. with cold ass ball not going to be able. to hit a high Hawk you know Ball's not. going to be able to do that ground is. probably not going to let you be able to.

do that so have to be one where he has. to make a play he did yeah and uh. congrats to razul Douglas that was. that's a huge deal 133 left huge there's. a lot of time still and Lamar just. walked right down the field that's a. game I mean that's huge and I I was that. guy in college high had a high hop got. flipped landed on my neck and I said. I'll never do it again actually coach uh. coach m came and gentle he had me as I. was supposed to be that guy in one game. and I just told him Coach look putting. the team in a bad spot if I'm back there.

there but that's another note too for. parents out there have your kids play. multiple Sports they always we play. multiple sports right s start growing up. you play multiple Sports play multiple. Sports I don't care when you go pro in. play multiple Sports they all kind of. fit in and give you different. superpowers and different areas what a. different tale today would be if razul. Douglas isn't like perfect with that. yeah you know J all Seahawks the defense. the bills defense yet again 13 seconds. against the Chiefs now they give up uh.

nine points in a minute to let the. Baltimore Ravens come back cement an MVP. for Lamar Jackson win a game instead. casual give me that we win the game. Philadelphia Eagles thought they were. going to trick that one off thought. legit thought that was that was going to. be a problem at the end I assume there. was a lot of Johns too they were like of. course now we got in Jaylen herz's hand. now we gotta kind of end this game we're. not able to do it and then they go down. and score and now it's a six-point game. it's like are they about to are the.

Eagles about to go ahead and ruin. everything here for everything they've. accomplished have a guy rush for. whatever 200 yards have 2 60 plus yard. touchdowns in a playoff game become a. record breaker are you going to ruin. this day and give this game up they were. close Los Angeles Rams could have won. this game very easily and I think that's. good news for the Eagles GED but Big O. having a catch like that 12 25 left. Downs I mean this was this would have. been a nightmare for Philadelphia and. for serion without a doubt he made a. couple big kicks in the snow but if.

you're an Eagles fan you're you're. worried about Jake Elliot moving forward. because it missing those two extra. points like we at the time you know. after saquon's long run it's like okay. ultimately it's not going to matter you. know this will be just a little footnote. who cares but then after NCA has that. massive catch it's like oh okay we're. talking touchdown extra point wins this. thing so you know obviously it didn't. kill him yesterday but that's the kind. of thing where it seems like against the. commanders who didn't make any mistakes. last week like that's the kind of thing. that can show up if it happens again.

okay so this game great yeah yep Ravens. game Bill's game great oh yeah Commander. Lions story book MH and then Chiefs. Texans Chiefs is still the Chiefs it. good game it was a great division what's. that refs is still the refs is what. people are actually saying many that's. just the word on the street eight sacks. did the refs get. yeah Chris Jones going bananas out there. look I'm a Patriots fan so you know. where I stand on this good teams win.

good teams get lucky lucky good teams. get the C okay that's where I stand I'm. just telling you yeah he can't be. flopping though Patrick knows he's a new. that the Flop was egregious coach Reed. on his knees too we need to we didn't. see that wasn't real just saying that. was AI I'm just saying and all eight of. those saxs came after the Miss calls Is. that real wow that seems like a madeup. stat uh it was a great divisional round. weekend we assume it's going to be a. great game this evening too and uh I.

believe we have some gifts here from. what appears to be chefs yeah like very. sharp dressed Lads just came in here. this is big Matt mat how you doing Matt. Pat you can set that down right here if. you want mat what are these are you guys. all oh. [ __ ] [ __ ] we lost the popcorn it's okay. it made it better that's a better that's. a better presentation m.

yeah this could feed three four people. we got a couple of them for you guys so. definitely dig in and just to give you. some facts on uh on quantities so for. today's game we did about 3,000 lb of. brisket 3500 lb of chicken um 2,000 lb. of mac and cheese so it is it is a lot. how many uh chefs how many people. obviously we just saw five guys come up. here so I have a team of 10 fulltime. chef and then 300 Cooks to open up this. building so we have a lot of people that. got ready for this we've been planning. it for about 6 months we have an amazing. team here does an amazing job so we're.

excited we're ready for today well it. sounds like and it smells like you guys. have done a great job we were just. talking about the pizza how much is the. pizza yeah like a full-sized what 18inch. pizza is like 22 bucks or something. affordable you guys want to make it. affordable affable absolutely so that's. that's the name of the game right here. so that board if you get a closeup of. that everything on there is $20 so this. whole thing is20. you have the. nachos pretzel you have the hot dog um. fingers slice of pizza chicken tenders. and Fries $20 for that entire board so.

it's like they can charge whatever they. want for these MH cuz they got people. here yeah these your only option also it. is cold as [ __ ] in Atlanta very cold it. is cold the whole country is cold I. don't know I don't know if you know but. when we get back to Indianapolis it's. going to be about negative 20 30 deges. colder than it is right here it might be. cold outside cor might still be blowing. her cold ass winds on the entire country. including places where it's supposed to. be warm but what we know we happen on. this field here tonight is hot action.

High spicy it is going to be high heat. super hot super. duper Fuego action with a team that is. built with so many weapons that you. would say maybe this is a future NFL. starting 11 on the Ohio State offense. and then a team from Notre Dame that has. come together and had to fight for. everything that they've got all season. long they were counted out but now here. they are we started with 12 and we're. counting down to one tonight we find out.

who is the one who is Neo who are the. national champions for this college. football season which has been the. biggest and best season of all time. ratings up and to the right top five. games up and to the right interest in. sport up and to the right tonight is. going to be electrified. obviously it's Martin Luther King Jr day. I hope you take a look around and say. hey we can uh be more unified than ever. before it would be our choosing to do so.

it's Inauguration Day up there in DC. obviously a lot of story lines. developing from that particular World. which is very serious and then tonight. to cap it all off the entire country and. world are going to watch two teams from. cold weather climates from the north MH. mhm try to win a National Championship. it's a wonderful Monday here in the. United States of America T dig it really. is and uh I don't know if you guys saw. the tweet it came out I think earlier. this week end of last week um the last.

year before nil started 130. underclassman came out for the NFL draft. 130 this year only 70 are coming out for. for the NFL draft the nil has done like. a huge part. for keeping these kids in school whether. they're they go out they get the grade. they come back or they think they can. make more money in college but there. that's I mean that's 70 underclass this. 70 more underclassmen than before nil. that are playing in the college football. this year that would have been in the. NFL and we're getting like I think it's.

raising the game of call college. football a ton most definitely now the. numbers that are being paid to these. guys that are sticking around and going. in the transfer portal I don't know how. long that's going to last you know coach. sa said we we need all right yeah this. is not sustainable I got to say this got. to say how much time I got 30 seconds. this needs to be said we're at the. national championship I love what we're. doing I love college football this is. not sustainable he said you just met. Jeremiah Smith maybe going to Michigan. because they're this can't be how this. goes going in the national championship. I think everybody with a rational. mindset sees it that way so I think it's.

a big off season for college football. we're not there yet obviously we're one. game away from that but where we were. being set up in our production meeting. in the hotel it was right next to the. college football playoff committee with. a lot of meetings happening with all the. commissioners of college ball and it. feels like everybody understands we got. something special here we can't throw it. away we can't ruin it we got to continue. to make it more special we got to. continue to introduce it to more people. we need to give more people a shot to. shine and we need to make sure we take. care of the student human athletes in a.

manner that is uh respectable for the. grandness that is college football at. this point I feel like there is nothing. but blue skies in the Horizon and. tonight is going to be a majestic game. that's going to make us say wow that was. the greatest college football season of. all time as we wrap up here on I don't. know if we're on is pn or not we didn't. start on ESPN uh okay we are on ESPN I. don't know how that happens but all the. people that helped set this up this is.

the game day set and did a little extra. work all season along for me for this. show I can't thank you enough okay I. appreciate the hell out of you college. game day 5:00 then the national. championship from the sideline we'll see. you there. goodbye I think we hit it I like it okay. so we're still live here okay. what we need to do is we need to take a. little bit of a. break actually let's just pick the games. there is a PA announcement test oh yes.

that is going to happen in here okay and. they have delayed it already an hour for. us wow okay. obviously there are people that are not. thrilled we pick the games now naturally. yeah we should do that now take a. 10-minute break well piss will they be. got a long night I want to f f had the. Foss presented the information and I. said so just let them do it while we're. live that'll be great because we'll just. talk about it they're like they do not. want to do that okay okay so they have.

bobbed and weaved with us so we should. certainly do that as well I'm hearing. that we have a sick b-roll shot of a. plane that this is a live shot from the. sky they're testing their camera and. they're off okay that was sweep for a. second okay which was that good year. that was probably the Good Year blink I. would assume so let me see if I can see. a little sneak peek still never going up. in that thing. ladies and gentlemen you're looking live. as they test their cameras in all their. shots let's get a good white balance. here on Mercedes Benz Stadium we have a.

little Insider information that maybe. this particular Stadium costs a little. bit more than projected whenever they. want to build it I can see it's. beautiful it was worth it it is glorious. it is gorgeous you are looking at the. home of tonight's National Championship. as Ohio State takes on the Notre Dame. Fighting Irish from Gorgeous Atlanta. Georgia all right we'll clip that yeah. so we'll use that for something all. right let's make these picks before this. PA announcement and I think whoever is.

doing the actual PA announcement is. watching the show go. in okay wow there it was yeah that was. I'm answering you right there I mean I. don't know if you could ever work. something out to be uh that time up. money but that is kind of what the. conversation that I was hearing was. let's go around the table here tonight's. national champion ship con man Notre. Dame or Ohio State uh Ohio State wins. Notre Dame covers Notre Dame Plus 8 and. a half that's the number we're going off.

right now Ty I'm a big 10 guy but uh I'm. also a Catholic guy so I'm going go with. the [ __ ] Irish tonight baby. okay okay going with the. Irish dig yeah you see you yeah as you. know I was once the mayor of South Ben. so that's where my heart lies uh but my. brain says my favorite bet is Notre Dame. team total under 18 team uh so that. would make me take probably the Ohio. State bucke guys okay seems like you. kind of did not give an answer cuz you. got a lot of family and friends bu eyes.

okay you got the Buckey you got Notre. Dame covering or just Notre Dame no I. don't think so jeez H good luck going. back to South B. time gonna have your ass yeah maybe AJ. uh your pick for the game tonight I like. Ohio State to win and I like Ohio State. to cover but I think it may be a kg. Affair early on I think it could have I. think I Notre Dame obviously is a great. team Marcus will have these guys ready. might try to steal possession or two but. yeah I think Ohio State wins and covers. dbut I'm right there with AJ Ohio State.

wins Ohio State covers will be a great. game from Notre Dame you know they do. have you know kind of no pressure almost. playing with house money but I just like. too many weapons we saw them not play. their best game last week against Texas. I think they're firing on all cylinders. Ohio State cover Ohio State cover Ohio. State cover Notre Dame wins straight up. and Notre Dame covers Ohio State wins. boom all right that'll help me make my. pick on game day yeah it will can't wait. to see you guys out there all right from. all of us to all of you thank you for. allowing us to do this for a living we.
