2. Jets Coaching Vacancy: Rex Ryan vs. Ron Rivera

The hosts kick off the discussion by addressing the New York Jets' ongoing search for a suitable head coach. With rumors swirling around the potential return of Rex Ryan and the consideration of Ron Rivera, the conversation highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate.

• Rex Ryan's Candidature:

  • Chad: "I like Rex. He's been there, done that. He knows how to talk to the media and has the charisma needed for the New York atmosphere."
    [05:55]

  • Co-host: "Rex has a defensive mind, which the Jets desperately need. His experience with players and understanding of the game could revitalize the team's defense."
    [06:14]

• Ron Rivera's Fit:

  • Co-host: "Ron Rivera is a good coach, but he doesn't fit the New York vibe. Personality matters, and Ron just doesn't align with what the Jets need right now."
    [06:30]

• Chad's Bias:

  • Chad: "I'm biased, so don't ask me. I know Rex best."
    [04:48]

---

3. The Brian Flores Scenario and Tom Brady's Interest

The discussion transitions to the New England Patriots and the speculated interest of Tom Brady in Brian Flores, the former Miami Dolphins head coach.

• Brian Flores' Impact:

  • Co-host: "Flores has done incredible things with the Dolphins' defense. If he joins the Patriots, it could be a game-changer."
    [07:45]

  • Chad: "Brian Flores needs to embrace his own coaching style instead of trying to mimic Coach Belichick. That's the key difference."
    [10:08]

• Tom Brady's Influence:

  • Co-host: "Brady's interest in Flores could signal a shift in the Patriots' strategy, focusing more on a strong defensive foundation."
    [07:27]

---

4. Offensive Strategies and Quarterback Concerns

A significant portion of the conversation centers on the importance of a robust offensive strategy and the role of the quarterback in team success.

• Offensive Coordinator Discussions:

  • Co-host: "Hiring the right offensive coordinator is crucial. Without someone who can develop the quarterback effectively, the team is signing itself up for failure."
    [06:39]

  • Chad: "Switching coaches without addressing the offensive strategy is like signing yourself up for suicide in the league."
    [06:51]

• Quarterback Carousel Issues:

  • Co-host: "The Jets have been through a quarterback carousel, which makes it hard to build a consistent offensive line."
    [09:04]

  • Chad: "You can't compete unless you have a solid quarterback. The Jets are struggling because they don’t have one."
    [09:16]

---

5. Comparing Coaching Styles: Belichick vs. Others

The hosts delve into the coaching philosophies of Bill Belichick compared to other prominent coaches, emphasizing the uniqueness of Belichick's approach.

• Belichick's Unique Approach:

  • Co-host: "Flores trying to be Belichick is a mistake. Each coach has their own style, and emulating Belichick won't work in today's era."
    [10:10]

  • Chad: "Look at Mike Shanahan's tree. Coaches like Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur have their own distinct styles without trying to mimic Belichick."
    [10:15]

• Advice to Brian Flores:

  • Chad: "Flores needs to embrace who he is as a coach. Trying to be someone else will only hinder his success."
    [10:26]

---

6. Financial Implications and Team Building

The conversation shifts to the financial aspects of team building, including salary cap considerations and strategic spending.

• Raiders' Cap Space:

  • Co-host: "The Raiders have significant cap space, but they need to spend it wisely on key positions like the quarterback."
    [11:14]

  • Chad: "You have to spend on the right players, not just anyone. Quality over quantity is the key."
    [11:33]

• Contract Negotiations:

  • Co-host: "Devonte Adams coming off may impact the cap, but strategic signing can make up for it."
    [11:35]

  • Chad: "Josh McDaniel's track record shows that staying strategic with contracts pays off more than reckless spending."
    [11:42]

---

7. Community and Support Systems in Teams

Highlighting the importance of community and support systems within NFL teams, the hosts discuss how strong internal relationships contribute to a team's success.

• Team Ethos and Standards:

  • Co-host: "Every great organization, like the military branches, has a strong ethos. NFL teams need that too."
    [14:54]

  • Chad: "Setting a vision and agenda is essential. Aiming for a consistent playoff record establishes that standard."
    [15:08]

  • Co-host: "Issues like punctuality and accountability are critical. Everyone needs to uphold the team's standards."

    [16:54]

Jets are reportedly set to interview Ron Rivera and Rex Ryan for the head coach in vacancy at the jets. Oo. Who would be the better fit? I'm biased, so don't ask me. So you.

You. You don't like Rex going back?

No, but I'm saying I I know Rex. Sexy Rex. He was on the staff in Baltimore. His dad came and worked me out when I was at at the Bronco, not the Broncos when I was in Savannah State. Ocho buddy, his dad rested, so came and worked me out. He said, son, I watched the tape. He says, we're going to take a bunch of receivers, right? He said we're going to put all the ass in the bag and the best ones are going to play. That's what he told me. I like that he drafted all those receivers And I remember him telling me, he's like, I effed up. He said, we took a bunch of receivers, but none of them was you. They took Fred Barbnett, they took, I think Calvin Williams, Mike Bellamy. It took like four receivers on choke, none of them named Shannon Sharp.

And that, that, that's motivating.

Oh, yeah.

That is motivating in this city.

Who you like best, Ocho? You like Ron Rivera or you like Rex Ryan?

Like I, I like Rex. I like Rex. I, I don't think Ron has the, the right. And personality is not the right word to use either. He just doesn't fit the New York atmosphere, the New York meter.

I mean, Rex has been there, done that. He knows. He knows.

He knows.

He definitely know. He definitely knows how to talk to the media. He has the personality. He's charismatic.

Yeah. Ron Rivera, he just doesn't fit. He just doesn't fit. I mean, good, good coach. He just doesn't fit in that atmosphere. I don't think that's what they need.

So you like, you like Ron. I mean, you like.

I like Rex. Yeah, I like, I like Mexico back, especially Rex. Rex is a defensive mind as well too, right?

Yeah. Well, you definitely have that defense playing well. But let me ask you this. What are you doing? Who, who are you bringing in as offensive coordinator and what are you doing with the quarterback?

And that's. See, that's the scary part. So it doesn't matter. You switch coaches and if you don't have nobody at the helm that can be able to get the ball and deliver that thing, it ain't no point. It ain't no point. You're signing, you're signing yourself up for suicide, basically, which is not going to be able to compete when you don't have a quarterback.

True.

So.

Because I don't believe, I don't believe the ground and pound that he employed with Mark Sanchez and running the football with Thomas Jones and those guys and playing outstanding defense on show. You can't win like that today. Quarterback. They're going to force your quarterback to make plays. They just do. They just do.

Yeah.

And it used to be if you brought your, your run game and a defense, because running game and defense travels. Not anymore. Oo, it's still a travel. But they're going to make your quarterback make some plays. It's really that simple. Right. They gonna make it make plays and he gotta be able to make those plays.

Oo, yeah.

There's been speculation that the Raiders co owner Tom Brady really liked Brian Flores as a Potential head coaching candidate. Flores has done damage, some amazing things with the bikes. Remember, he. He was the defensive coordinator when they won the super bowl against the Rams. Right. In Atlanta. And then he got the head coaching job at Miami. Okay. He was a linebacker's coach. When did he become the dcd? He was. He was never the DC okay, so he's the linebackers coach. They got the job. Okay. Because Patricia was the D.C. okay. You like that? You like Brian Flores to the Vikes?

Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, listen, I think Brian Flores and what he was able to do with the Vikings defense, obviously the personnel and the. The talent and skill level may be a little different, a little bit more upside when it comes to the Vikings defense, but I think it would be good. I think he. I think he'd be a good fit. I don't like the fact that they're firing or getting rid of AP when AP hasn't had a chance because he been going through a goddamn quarterback carousel and goddamn merry around the quarterback, so it's hard to be able to. Again, I say it all the time. You can't compete unless you got a quarterback.

None. Zero. There's zero chance.

You can't. You can't.

What do you have?

Opportunity.

Who do you have? Ocho. He had Jimmy G. He had Garner Minchu. Aiden O'Connell.

Aiden O'Connell.

Was anybody else? Who was anybody else there?

Those are the main three that I do remember. There's no disrespect to them. No disrespect to them. But, you know, we talk about Tier 2, Tier 3 quarterbacks.

What am I supposed to do with that?

Nothing you can't do.

You give me chicken poop and say, make me some chicken salad, and I need it to be yummy.

Mm.

You're right. I mean, I like Ryan Flores. I think he. I think he's done a great job of rehabilitating himself because all the things that were coming out weren't favorable. You heard Tua say things. You hear Ryan Fitzpatrick say things. There are some other people that have come out and said some things. But look, at the end of the day, Brian, if I would tell, all I would say is, this be you. You're not Coach Belichick. And I think that is the one mistake all the coaches under that tree has made.

He made. Yeah.

To try to be Coach Belichick.

Right? Yeah. That way of coaching wouldn't work in this era anyway.

Huh? If you look at. Look at the guys that come out of Mike Shanahan. I mean, Kyle Shanahan Street. Sean McVeigh is Sean McVeigh. Matt LaFleur is Matt LaFleur. Kevin O'Connell is Kevin O'Connell. Mike McDaniel is Mike McDaniel. Don't nobody try to be like him. I don't know why. When that's not your personality. When they look up there and they hear you sounding like Coach Belichick. But they're like you, Brian Flores, you, Matt Patricia, you, Josh McDaniel. You, Bill O'Brien. You, Charlie White, you, Romeo Cornell. You're not him. Why try to be him? So that would be my advice to him. I hope he gets another opportunity. Normally, the second time around is better than the first.

Yeah, yeah. And where you go is very important. But you have some pieces you. You get to work with over there. Jack Jones, Max Crosby. Now you got some other young guys.

You got Christian Wilkins.

Yeah, yeah.

You got Rock Bowers. You got to get a quarterback. You got to get a quarterback. And they got a lot of. How much cap space do the Raiders have? Raiders got a lot of cap space. Now they gonna have a little dead calf space on there with Devonte Adams dealing him. Gonna have a little dead cap space, but. Oo. That's it. They got money, they gotta spend it.

Yeah. I mean, listen, you don't want to spend on anything.

Raider's got the second most cap money to spend on Joe.

Hey, that's. That's a beautiful thing, but you don't just want to spend on anything. You want to spend on the right thing.

Oh, for sure. Oh, for sure. But all I know is this. Josh McDan Daniels has been the head coach of two teams, and he's left them worse off than when he found him. He's with the Broncos and he was terrible. He was awful. I. I think they feel the same way about him. And, And, And. And at the ratings.

Right? Ah, that's messed up, man. Listen, I'm surprised.

Would I be surprised if he's not the head. The offensive coordinator at. At North Carolina? I wouldn't be. Would you be shocked if he followed Coach Belichick to unc? That I would not.

That's a good one. That's a. That's a good matter of fact. I'm. I'mma ask Bill. I'mma ask Bill if he want. If he'll let me intern.

Rumor. Pat could move on for Jared Mayo. For Mike Brable. Mike Brable has a consulting gig with the Browns that ended. What do you believe Jared Mayo. Gerard Mayo has gotten a fair shake.

Don't you it's absolutely not fair. Absolutely not fair. Like, come on, man, give.

Coach, I mean, you do realize that.

Their three year grace period.

How many games have The Patriots won? Three. I mean, three or 13.

With Mr.

They three and 13. Coach Belichick was five and 11 his first season.

Right.

And he was about to go worse than that until that faithful hit Mo Lewis put on Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady fell out the sky.

Yeah, that's a crazy story, Ocho.

It's like your house about to go in floor closure. You driving down the street and a bag of money fall out the truck.

Right?

You like? Lord, look at this.

I'm good. Now let me go pay without.

Okay, there you go.

Let me go pay without her.

Coach. Head coach Shane Steichen addresses accountability called out by Pat McAfee. Not everyone is going to be on time. Jonathan Taylor, alleged Colts issues. No one thinks the standard has to be raised. The playoffs has to be the standard. You got to get in in order to establish that standard. Like, listen, this is the Indianapolis coach. The standard is the playoffs. It's hard when you lose to change the mindset, right? The standard's got to be the standard. Everybody got to be punctual. Everybody needs to be on time. Everybody needs to be accountable. Everybody needs to like, okay, what's. Hey, Coach, if you set the vision, you set the agenda, what is it where you're trying to do right. Hey, we're trying to go. Hey, when our home games go 8. No at home, go 500 on the road. 12 and 4 gets you into the playoffs every year, Ocho. Yeah, that's probably more times than not that'll win you the division. Now, sometimes a team will go 13 and three and 14 and two, and that won't. But 12, four is going to get you into the playoffs every year. The standard that you have to have a stat, you have to have an ethos.

Yeah.

Something that's foundational. Something. Every great organization you look at the army, the Navy, the Air Force Marines, they got an ethos. They got something that they believe in you the proud.

No.

So what is it that the coach. What are you selling? I guarantee you, when Peyton was there, you had a standard. I guarantee you.

Oh, yeah, listen, he coming in. You know the sheriff ain't play that I guarantee you. Sheriff did not clear that.

Everybody has to be everybody like I. I just a stickle. That's. That's. Not everyone is going to be on time. Huh? What do you do that at? How many were you. How many people came Late. Ocho to meeting.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

It were you the New England.

No, no, no, no, no. Everybody was early, huh? Everybody was early, man.

Mike didn't play that.

One band, one sound you got.

That's. That's the only way you can win.

Yeah.

That's the only way you can win. You can be accountable. You gotta wait. What's your weight? Mike ain't playing that. You don't know how many times I've seen the guys, go get in the sauna, go get on the bike, go get on the treadmill, go get on the stairs, like, oh, it's $50 a pound, and it double. So you five over, that's 50. Next week it's a hundred over, it's a hundred, and the next week it's 200. Now what you want to do? That's your money. Yeah, but I gonna get it.

That's crazy.

I just. Like I said, Ocho, I came along at the perfect time. It would drive me crazy, Ojo, because I don't think guys take it near as serious enough.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's different.

Honestly, Ocho, I live and die by it. I live. That was the only thing that mattered, right? It was the only thing. And I believe, in order for you to be great, that's the price you have to pay.

That, too.

You guys.

Boy, that too.

Is there any team that has a more complicated relationship with their former greats? Peyton Manning. I mean, if you didn't know Peyton, if you didn't really like Watts. You think Peyton Manning was a Bronco his whole career? He lives in Denver. He's always at the Broncos game. Yes, he lives in Denver.

There is.

He's never gone. He's never gone, but I think they went back when they unveiled a statue, right? He never forgave Jim Mercedes for what he did with the.

With the neck injury to let him go.

Yep.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Peyton.

Denver. He does stuff for Denver. He's big in the community in Denver, right? Yes. Pat McAfee was. Was. I think an All Pro partner. Made a couple of Pro Bowls, right. I don't know if there was Andrew. Well, Andrew Luck hadn't been back because now he's the GM of the Stanford Cardinals.

Yeah.

Yeah. I know y'all say. Y'all say he'll cope, but that ain't how he sees himself. Right? Y'all see him as a coach. That's not how he sees himself.

Right.

Cause how many times have y'all seen Colts? How many times have y'all seen Peyton of the game. Bronco fans. How many times you seen Peyton at a game?

All the time.

I can answer that for you. Yeah. Because every time I go, I see him. Every function that we go to that night, Peyton is there. Peyton want a part? No, super bowl, but he's there. Yeah, he's at the games.

Hold on, let me. I got. I got. I got. I gotta. I got a PT Real quick.

Go ahead. We need to know that. But. Okay, we got a good one back here. I can't wait for y'all to get this Q and A. This thing gonna be nice. Oh, Lord have mercy. Okay, now, someone asked how many takes does it take me to do promos? It all depends on how much verbiage it is. Sometimes they be thinking, I'm a professional at this. I normally like to get the reads first. You know, Ash, want me to come in here cold? It just. It just throws up on the prompter. I'm like, can I get. Can I get a read? Can I go over it a couple of times? But normally it takes me about. It takes me like about two now. Jordan, pull out the camera. I get it in one. Because if you try to get some quick. He would try to get some takes. Try to make me look bad. Yeah, let me try to get bloopers out of me. Ash. Don't think I'd be sitting. But. But I see. I see what she be trying to do. She be trying to make me look bad, but this ain't what I do. But I've gotten. You know, this is what I have to do.

Yeah.

All right, Ocho, now it's time for rough draft.

Well, you better. You about. You about to lose again.

I get to go first, Ocho.

Oh, you. You lost.

You. Oh, don't do that, Ocho. Now, you know, we alternate terms. Going first, Ocho, Why you do that?

I mean, listen, if it's. When you play. When you play basketball, when you play one on one, right? When you play one on one in basketball and you make it, you take it. You know, I mean, that's. I don't understand.

That is what we did when I beat your eyes out first and when I was winning.

Hold on, let me.

Let me.

Let me go to my rough draft list real quick. So if you gonna go first, I need to make sure I'm on point so I can counter whatever it is you do.

Okay, let me go to my rough draft stuff.

Hold on.

The. Here it is. The most common New Year's resolution. You ready, Ocho?

Oh, I. Oh, wait, Let me go. Let me go first.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

So what should be my New Year's number one resolution?

Okay, so there you go. Right now. Y'all gonna save money.

Like getting the gym. Quit smoking stress less, volunteer. Learn a new hobby or skill. Be more positive. Oh, oh, oh. I thought Jones was cursing less.

All.

Right O It's time for our last segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. I'm in a three game skid longer but who count?

I'm in a slump. Damn Ocho.

Dr. Frank L. Bellamy said I'm riding with y'all until the wheels fall off. Then when that happens, I get out and walk beside y'all. Loyalty Doc we appreciate that. Like I said, Doc was one of the first ones. Doc might have been like the first or the second one to actually subscribe. Because I remember, Ocho, when I was in New York to do a first tape, and I looked down at the thing, I think Doc. Doc was the first one. One of the first names that I actually saw and that I remember seeing. So she has actually absolutely been here for the beginning. And I appreciate it.

Appreciate it.

Dog. We appreciate that. Support Isaiah Lancaster. Unocho. Name your starting offense, past or present. Quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end. And does the media put Burrow over Lamar when his resume is better and nine and one against him? So you get a quarterback. A running back, wide receiver, tight end. So who's your. Who's your quarterback?

My quarterback would be. I'm gonna go Mahomes.

Okay. You got Mahomes, boy.

Yeah. What other positions do I need?

You got a running back?

Running back I'm gonna pick would be. Whose style do I like better? I'm gonna pick Ed. I'm gonna pick Eric Dickerson.

Okay, Ed. Okay. You get a wide receiver?

I get one or two?

You get one.

I'm. I'm gonna go with T. Okay.

Teal and tidying.

Yeah. Tyson. I know this dude pretty good. I'm go with you for my Titan.

You will take me? You will take me, Ocho. I appreciate that.

Ocho, I'm gonna need some love. I'm gonna take you.

He said past. Now, you can pick anybody, past or present.

Yeah, I know.

Okay. Quarterback, running back for me. I'm going Barry, qb. I ain't gonna put myself on my team, so.

Right.

I'm gonna go Brady, tight end. I'm gonna go Kelsey.

That's a good one, huh?

No, no, no, no, no. And wide receiver. I need to flip a coin.

Well, who the two you choosing from?

All right, Ocho, who you think my wide receiver should be? I'm a flip of corn. Heads. Jerry, Rice. Tails, it'll be you.

But technically, since I'm the greatest entertainer of all time that ever graced or touched the green grass between them white lines. Go ahead, flip it. Flip it.

So you. Tails. Yeah, right.

One thing about it, tail never loses.

It's all I'm gonna do is pick it up, show it to the camera. It's head.

Damn, man.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ocho. But I tell you what I did do. I got this. Got this cake for yo Cho.

Put that in.

It's a sweet potato pound cake with buttercream sauce with A made with touch of shea by La Portier Sapana Sharper. She made this. If you go on the ig, Hannah Safana Buttercream Dream. That's her IG handle. And she made this and she sent it to me. So this is a sweet potato pound cake, buttercream frosting made with a touch of shea by La Portier. With pecans.

That sound good?

My New Year's resolution doesn't include me losing weight.

Well, you ate half of it already.

Well, Jordan, Ash. I love how Ash had a big picture, but. Oh, I can't finish the whole thing. It was one bite left. It was one bite left. Oh, guys, I'm stuffed, really. But, guys, take a look at this. This is soper. Thank you so much for this sweet potato pound cake made with buttercream frosting and a touch of shea by La Portier. Bro, it was. It's incredible. It. It looked. It tastes as good as it looks. It really does. And so, Stefano, thank you so much for the cake. I really appreciate that. Lanny Ray asked. Hey, guys. Happy last year of 24 thoughts on Kevin O'Connell getting coach of the Year. Also want to beat Lions stole. Yeah, I think it's his. Yeah, I think he's going to win.

He's played a. Done a hell of a. Hell of a job.

It's hard for me to see a scenario where Andy gets it. Although Andy is 15. He's 15 and 1. Yeah. And he's going to rest his starter, so he could easily be 60 potentially. He still. They still could win. I don't think they will, but they could win. But it's just hard for Andy to get it because he has Mahomes. Yeah, I mean, I think. Did they get. I think they gave Coach Belichick. Did they give Coach Belichick the Coach of the Year when they won? Went 16 and. Oh, yes. So how many times have Coach Belichick been coach of the Year? Okay, so I don't know why they won't give it to Andy then. Hell, if Coach Belichick can win it three times with Tom Brady. You mean to tell me Andy can't win it once with my homeboy?

Yeah, that's.

With three Super Bowl. With four super bowl appearances.

But you. You. You. You already know what to expect from them. You didn't know what to expect from Kevin.

Kevin, you didn't know what to expect from Coach Belichick and Tom Brady.

No, I'm. No, I'm just saying, you know.

Oh, yeah. Kevin. Ol. Kevin Ollins should Win it this year.

That's. That's what I mean.

You factor Dan Campbell in. You factor Andy in red. Who else? Matt La Flor.

Yeah.

But it should be Kevin OConnell. So Lany. Yes. Kevin Oller should be. Hey, lady, welcome back. New Year's, you in the house. You're not out partying. So damn, 25 gonna be. Gonna be a blast. Cupcake Mama. Thanks, guys, for a great content all year. Happy New Year's. My birthday is January 7th, but today my kids gifted me tickets to see y'all in nola. Hey, Cupcake Mama, thank you so much. Really, really appreciate that. We look forward to seeing you, man. That's awesome. That's really awesome that you guys have supported us. And you come out, you buy merch, you come out to our shows, you listen, you share, you talk about us. We can't thank you enough for being as supportive as you are. And that's why, Ocho, I let it go. Because it's people like Cupcake Mama, it's people like Lady Ray, it's people like Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy, is some of our regular supporters that let us know we got far more supporters, we got far more people in our corners than the haters and the naysayers. We need those haters and naysayers. Don't get me wrong. Y'all serve your role, you know what I'm saying? Just like bugs. Bugs have a role.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

One thing about it now, you know, haters are like vegetables. They taste bad, but they're good for you.

Yes. Elias Sanchez. Ocho just wanted to get a chance before it's too late. You and my wife share a birthday. Her and I share for similar things. Like, My birthday is May 9th. Her Social Security number are two different. Two letters, two numbers different. Wanted to see if you can get an Ocho jersey for a birthday. Can she. If she can get an Ocho jersey for a birthday.
