GET U P | Nick Sirianni will lose his job if Eagles loss to Buccaneers in Wild Card – Ryan Clark

RC give me a bold prediction for this weekend you know I don’t even know that this prediction is bold bold but I believe that Matthew Stafford takes the Los Angeles Rams to Detroit and finds a way to win this game he’s played at an MVP level from the position obviously

Puka Thea breaking rookie records but a defense led by Rahe Morris the defensive coordinator that keeps the football in front of them and gives this team opportunities to win with Kiren Williams averaging the most yards per game in the entire NFL this play action game is tough to stop Matthew Stafford goes back

To Detroit and breaks their hearts again Graziano give me a bold prediction see I disagree with RC I think the lions are going to win I think they’re going to run it down the Rams throats the Rams are a terrible run defense I think the Lions rush for over 200 yards and beat

The Rams it’s not a Matthew Stafford Revenge game the Lions did Matthew Stafford a favor it is a golf Revenge game because the Rams dumped him in order to get Matthew Stafford I think it’s a big night for the Lions right now on ESPN bet the lions are a three-point

Home favorite uh Mike T give me a bold prediction for the weekend yeah the Cleveland Browns are going to lose and here’s why greeny Joe flco and the Browns turned the ball over way too many times over the last month they’re right 32nd in the league and you can’t turn

The ball over as a road playoff team and win I’m going with de Ryan CJ Stout and the Texans winning at home as an underdog yes the Browns are actually a two-point Road favorite on ESPN BET right now dwood give me a bold prediction and man I’m going Mike Evans barbecue

Chicken alert on on the Philadelphia Eagles we know this Eagles secondary has just been abysmal all season long and Mike Evans man is this dude ever going to slow down this dude continues the ball year after year after year and he’s going to do it again against

Philadelphia he’s done it with so many different quarterbacks all of them super high-profile right it’s jamus and it’s Brady and now it’s Baker Mayfield the Eagles are a three-point Road favorite in that game uh the barbecue chicken Which is my favorite expression and it was finally explained to me uh the

Eagles like they’ve got a week to get their defensive Pro we’ll get to the offense in a minute can they do anything defensively to to to keep themselves in this G I think they said uh Darius Slay may play he says he’s playing May play this weekend so that that’s huge for

Them on the back end but nah this team’s terrible like like defensively why how do they get this bad well so if you go back to watching the game against the New York Giants it’s probably because Josh sweat is dropping to the flat we also have Assan reck who is your best

Rusher has now become a curl flat player and in between the numbers you can’t cover nor can you tackle if you look at the last two touchdowns or the two touchdowns by saquan Barkley two different times blankin ship and also up top Cunningham had opportunities for oneon-one and you want to talk about

Barbecue chicken they put them on the smoker and so when you look at this defense you thought that Matt Patricia would add a level of effort would add a level of physicality and he hasn’t it’s continued to get worse and I think that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take

Advantage of that I I think we’re buing the lead here guys they’re quarterback hasn’t thrown the ball this week and AJ Brown may not play like that matters in playoff game bad well give yeah give us that quarterback can’t throw the ball is that bad like that yet is that what we

Think he has a a finger injury on his right hand which is the hand he throws with told reporters yesterday he hadn’t thrown the ball since Sunday listed as a limited participant in practice those who were there covering the practice say that this right here is the only throw

They saw him make now reporters don’t get to watch all of practice obviously but uh interesting that Jaylen herdz was listed as limited obviously if he can’t throw um they’re in huge strouble man and and and AJ brown right AJ Brown didn’t practice at all yesterday he’s

Got a knee injury they have some optimism it’s really good for the Eagles that this is a Monday game and they don’t have to turn they get the extra day but uh those are significant question marks look at DW’s face Hew not you know you think it’s a problem if hers can’t throw

Uh that’s a slight problem right there and I mean barbecue chicken oh it’s definitely barbecue chicken right now listen we’ve been having these discussions about you know uh coaching openings Philadelphia goes down there and gets embarrassed by Tampa you guys are dumping all the coaches you’re firing Nick serani hey that is

Staggering you’re firing Nick serani with withon Smith banged up AJ Brown banged up the quarterback’s finger looks like booger Farland like you have all of these things going on and defensively you just don’t have the like we’ve talked about we were wrong can we say that hoe Roseman we thought hoe Roseman

Did a great job rebuilding this defense from a roster standpoint and he didn’t hold on hold let me let me ask you let me ask you a question you you know because ultimately the head coach is responsible for all these things that’s going on you switch play calling

Defensive play callers right now you got you know Matt Patricia out there you got your best pass rushers going backwards instead of forwards okay like Nick serion made that decision made that decision huh Sean decide wasn’t doing a good job like we we we have to recognize Shane Sten

Freaking star absolutely is now the head coach in Indianapolis Jonathan gon Ganon must have been an absolute defensive genius right the way that this team has fell off defensively I just don’t think you go from going to the champion to the Super Bowl one year being 10 in one to

Start the next year having this level or these this many injuries defensively offensively and just get rid of the coach it feels harsh I I think Graziano look into this it’s unprecedented but my prediction bill bellich is going to coach both the Cowboys and the Eagles

Next year I think he’s getting both the week here it opened with BS and it ended with crap but that we continue live about the hinin river deck at Pier 17 what a morning we have working for you you see the squad we’re going to have

Teddy brusi live in just a minute we’re going to pick all the NFL Playoff games of the weekend but we begin here Dan Graziano in the last half hour with the breaking news Adam Sher reporting that the Patriots are hiring Gerard Mayo as their new head coach is coming just a

Day after they officially part ways with bich and gaziano this comes as no surprise across the entire national football right there had been a sense around that building for the past year that Mayo was the successor turns out uh it was written into his contract which

Was then on file with the league as an official succession plan now that didn’t mean the Patriots had to do it what it means is they don’t have to do a search they they they can just Elevate Gerard Mayo uh from his position on the defensive staff to head coach they don’t

Have to go interview a bunch of people so uh they identified Gerard Mayo 37 years old as a rising star a head coach candidate and their money is where their mouth is he is now the head coach of the Patriots here’s what I would say I would

Give Bob Craft the benefit of the doubt on knowing how to identify good coaches it’s worth pointing out that in the time that he’s on the team they had Bill Parcels they had Pete Carol and then when he brought back Bill bich and now it seems like such a no-brainer the

Reality is it was not then he was coming off a very lukewarm stint in Cleveland at one time and it was not the obvious choice when he left you know after one day as the HC of the nyj it’s a really good point both craft and belch would

Say it was 96 season when they worked together they really got to know each other so when you move that story forward greeny Bob Craft had a long time to get to know Gerard Mayo both as a player and as a coach and you what you

Hope is is Gerard Mayo has taken all this time to put the framework together of what he wants from a staff so so we will have teddy brusi and I’m curious to hear his reaction to this in a moment but here’s what this makes me think the

Patriots had this plan as you say it was in the in the contract they knew exactly what they were going to do I think it is reasonable to assume that bill bich who is one of the smartest people you will ever come across has known pretty well

That this was going to be the way this went certain for the last two months or so I don’t think he it strikes me as unlikely that he walked out of that building yesterday not having a pretty good idea of where he was going next you know I don’t necessarily know what sort

Of idea he has because Marcus Spears said it yesterday yesterday on NFL live bill bich is going to be interviewing these teams to see if he wants to be there they’re not going to be interviewing Bill bich to see if they want him and so for him it’s going to be

About finding the right place what he knew is he’d have options he knows that he’s Bill bich he knows that he’s the greatest head coach in NFL history and you could see that in his press conference he can you can tell he was emotional about his time ending in New

England but when he said he’s looking forward to what’s next it’s not about going fishing with Randy Moss right it’s about going fishing for another championship it’s about rebuilding another organization and program and so he may not know exactly where the next step will take him but he definitely has

An idea mik te right now there are seven head coaching vacancies in the NFL not including New England was the eth and now that one seems to be no longer vacant anyway do you believe there might be other teams teams that as of this moment have head coaches that might

Actually be considering belich yeah absolutely because what you have to do is you have to juxtapose what you have and say this is an unexpected opportunity and then greeny like maybe Andy Reid retires maybe Dallas loses by 40 this weekend to Green Bay maybe demo Ryan does what Nick Sabin did a decade

Ago and says goodbye to the Dolphins hello Alabama because a lot of people feel like Alabama’s a better job than a lot of NFL jobs so a lot of things could happen between now and when all these seats are filled hey come on time out though first off the Alabama job is not

A great job y’all don’t go take that Alabama Job thinking that y’all gonna be Nick Sabin Alabama was Nick sabin’s job also we’re acting like the NFL is going to be that Meme you know the meme where the guy’s walking with the girl and the

Girl sort of cute but there’s a real hot girl behind him and he’s holding his girl like this looking back at that’s not what’s going to happen that’s not who bill bich is Bill bich is no longer the prettiest girl walking down the street Bill bich the last three or to

Four years his teams weren’t even good this this year his team was unwatchable offensively now can he still coach do we still know that he understands the X’s and O’s absolutely but how does this bill bich now relate to the same players that made Nick Sabin retire right the

Same players who come in with that enti and so are we going to jettison a good young promising head coach for a guy like Bill bich so basically what you what I’m hearing from you is Bill bich the GM fail because the coach can still

Coach like we know he can coach so I think now now you got to look at from Bill B’s perspective where can I go where a there’s a quarterback B good ownership FR an office because when you when you looking at the landscape okay I got this coach but I got Bill bellich

Available to me you think did you think M Jones was a good pick and a good fit for the New England Patriots Yeah did was M Jones good in his rookie year yes he had is MC Jones now a back up to Bailey zappy so it wasn’t the GM right

It was the developer it was the hire it was the guy that was hiring offensive coordinator okay but let me ask you this let me ask you this you don’t think you don’t think them groceries in New England were bad that contributed to why M Jones yeah that’s what I’m saying

Was SP Co was SP out there RC going back to greeny’s point there’s something very fundamental going on here you’re presuming that everybody else that’s currently a head coach is doing a good job like there’s a lot of mediocre coaching going on so when you’re running an organization being trying to get a

Quarterback or a coach you’re just opposing this is Bill Bel this is p Carrol these are who’s available Jim Harbaugh compared to who’s currently my coach we talking are we talking so initially right this conversation was about playoff teams yeah if I’m if my team sucks I’ll fire that coach but does

Bill bich Philadelphia no hell no hell no and Nick serani fits Philadelphia he cries pregame and stuff like that bill bich don’t talk to the media Bill bich ain’t no Philadelphia Eagle guy don’t tell the Eagles fans that Nick serani fits Philadelphia they are ready to buy

Him a train ticket to any other man just went to the Super Bowl I know they’re not that interested in in he in reliving that I I’m just telling you if you ask the Eagles fans I think they are banging the drum for a change am I told we have

Teddy is that what you’re okay great so we got Teddy brui ready to go here so Teddy wonderful to see you again thank you after yesterday Ted Bo look what you’ve walked into the middle of here the Patriots have chosen Gerard Mayo no surprise to be the successor to Bill bich what is

Your reaction yeah I’m really not surprised at all it’s almost like Gerard has um you know the relationship with Mr craft The Grooming um of being know coach that has worked himself up through the ranks in terms of being almost like the deao defensive coordinator with Brian bellich

There I think you’re getting the Best of Both Worlds with gerro having played with him for one year and having known him for years personally that there’s a little bit of Bill bich in him but then there’s not and that’s I think that’s really what the combin that they’re

Looking for is someone that knows the foundation knows the structure especially knows the defens of philosophies and game plans and techniques and how to coach them but also I mean before gerro got into coaching he ventured into the business World in where he had to develop relationships and had to basically

Communicate with a lot of people on a on a level type of basis so in terms of what they’re looking for in the organization sort of the new W Agee everyone on the same page not having one voice that has all all of the answers all of the solutions and final say but

Someone that’s willing to work and can work with a lot of people they got the right guy here in Gerard Mayo it is you were saying exactly that exactly what I said when we spoke about this when we heard the news it’s to have that understanding of the ex’s and NOS how to

Delegate the way a guy like Bill bellich did but when Damen Woody said be authentic to self I said don’t let that new hat and that new hair that that that that new um chair change you right find a way to continue to relate to the

Players the way that you did find a way to be adjustable and malleable to what needs to be done and it seems like Gerard Mayo is that from listening to Teddy Bruce because you know what it’s about relationship fact and the fact that also I mean guys the um gerro gerro

Gerro can also be difficult to work with also I mean I don’t think he’s afraid to ruffle feathers he would even talked about about that publicly last week but having known him I mean he doesn’t really care what people think sometimes even if you’re working with them and I

Think that’s the success of a head coach being able to being able to tell the truth sometimes when it’s not really wanted but that that you see that’s really good like that’s what you want from a head coach is somebody that can scale leadership hold people accountable

The coaches that have failed are the ones that don’t do that well that are passive aggressive but but greeny the big thing is going to be is he has to be able to do that and to be able to spend the time with the players he has to rely

On a really strong experienced staff so he doesn’t get consumed with things that he doesn’t want to deal with what were you going to say no I just the biggest thing I took from what Brew was talking about was his time in the business world and how it just shaped like

Relationships because that’s what almost like this new age is all about right now it’s about how do you how are you able to communicate you know with these new players you know and I think that’s where draw Mayo will Bridge come from one world with with with Coach B into a

New world his his his world where you’re able to relate to these players and talk to them on the level that they understand so that’s the decision that they make there and then we Circle back if we can I’m told we have some microphone issues with Teddy so we’ll

Try and get him back in in a few minutes but we Circle back to the bellich of it all we are sitting here speculating about what it is that he wants he’s interviewing people but you were telling us this morning uh before the show Dan

That there is one place that most of the league is pointing to with an expectation that that’s where he’s going the one you keep hearing is Atlanta and that’s for whatever reason I guess the roster good they were a a borderline almost playoff team this year going to

Need to figure out quarterback and that’s no small thing but um you know they have they have a situation where their salary cap is in pretty good shape their offensive line is pretty much signed uh and they have some really good young Talent on offense if they can find

The quarterback it might be a situation where he could win quick RC if you’re Atlanta you trade a second round pick to Chicago for Justin fields and you put him in there and then you boom you bring in bill you go you go win the NFC South

Next year when you look at what Justin fields did down the stretch of this season a coach like Bill bich who understands defense with the team that played well defensively they just couldn’t find the right player for that position with all those skill players around that’s a team you’d want to be

The too it only takes eight nine wins to win the NFC sou yeah the champion see I H my bet I didn’t go I didn’t go above that gr you know what’s so interesting to me if you look at Bill belich the team Builder he acquired offensive players he struggled to defending slot

Receivers tight ends running backs who could catch I think Justin Fields is one of those quarterbacks that would give him trouble as a defensive coach I always go back to who are the players that caused you the most trouble right remember that Monday night game when Justin Fields just went nuclear up in

Foxboro you don’t think that sits in Bill bich che’s mind as well I I’m told I have teddy back for just a quick second Teddy final word on all this go ahead Ted in terms of Bill bich I think we have to watch this weekend in terms of

What teams do well and what teams don’t do well because you got to put your mind in the in the you put yourself in the mind of an owner and an owner that would be tired of going to the playoffs and losing owner will be tired of of going

Even I mean just wants a Super Bowl basically and these owners get desperate because they are they are they are playing fantasy football up there sometimes and maybe it’s one of these playoff teams that see him and are really looking at how their team does this weekend I ain’t that see I’m see

Bella took to the Cowboys Tedy said well take to the Cowboys Tedy you’re the best up against a break coming up fore speech spee okay for M m For spe for foreign foree e e E for B Foree Soeech you
