You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio, hour one on this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan EDS Dan Patrick Show. Once again, Seaton is on the road. We'll talk to in an hour. Dylan, our graphics guy and full time gambler is sitting in seat and seat and has done a. You know what, I don't want to make my opinion known yet. Todd, how do you think Dylan's done? I think he's done a very nice job. I would say above average for sure. Okay. Marvin, how do you think Dylan's done? I think he's done well. Okay, Paulie?
Dan Patrick
Very well. He gets in, makes a good line and gets out.
Paul Pabst
Okay. All right. So Dylan, you get to stay today and tomorrow and Friday. Yeah. So you have to come up with a poll question today and we'll get to you coming up in a moment. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around the country. IHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio we will come up with that poll question. Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. 877-3-DP show the New Orleans Saints are the last team looking for a head coach and maybe their coach is coaching in the Super Bowl. Kellen Moore, usually when you have candidates who take their name out of the running, that usually means they're taking their name out because their name is already out. Mike McCarthy says he will focus on 2026, maybe getting a job. But Cliff Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator for the Commanders, said that he's going to stay with the Commanders. It feels like it's Kellen Moore's job. I don't know if there's any other candidates. Kellen Moore can go to New Orleans and stay in New Orleans after the super bowl, day after the super bowl win or lose, hold a press conference and you got all the members of the media there get a lot of publicity for the Saints there. But Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator formerly with the Cowboys, spent some time with the Chargers and now maybe headed to the New Orleans Saints. And we, we focused a lot yesterday on press conferences and that initial reaction when you see your team just hired somebody and you go, I love seeing Pete Carroll up there. From a Raiders fan, Liam Cohen, I don't know anything about him seems a little quirky, but maybe he's a mad scientist. Maybe he can help our quarterback Trevor Lawrence the way he did Baker Mayfield. And then you had the Cowboys situation. Aaron Glenn was fiery with the jets, and you're like, yeah, he's one of us. He understands us. This is great. And then the Cowboys situation. So out of all of those, I don't look at this as an indictment on Liam. Liam Cohen, because he was a little goofy. Aaron Glenn, fiery. We've seen Dan Campbell when he was fiery. Remember Nick Sirianni? He stumbled. All through his press conference, we've had these moments like, you want to win the press conference, and Pete Carroll's going to win a press conference. He's going to have energy in there, chomping on the gum there. And I think there's a. A sense of stability there that he provides the Cowboys. That, to me, is more troubling because that's really a snapshot of what I think is going to happen as long as Brian Schottenheimer is going to be the head coach of the Cowboys. Jerry Jones, he dominated the press conference. And I said this yesterday. I mean, I've been around this 40 years. I've been to press conferences with some of the biggest names in all the sports, and that one was one where I was troubled by it, because I don't. Jerry obviously doesn't read the room, and he probably feels like he doesn't have to. Here's Brian Schottenheimer. It's his moment. He got to be a head coach in the NFL. You're coaching the Cowboys. Your dad would have been so proud. He gets emotional, and then Jerry comes in and has to talk about his dad, and then he gets emotional. And I just felt bad for Brian Schottenheimer because I think we're gonna look at him through that lens. That is. Yeah, But Jerry's still the GM and the head coach there. He just is. And that, to me, felt like, get used to this. Aaron Glenn. I liked it. I mean, come on in. Let's go. I mean, you. You're going to be aggressive. You're going to be taking names. Hold. You know, getting receipts. Great. I love it. Liam Cohen, still, it was awkward, but it was. It was entertaining. I don't know if he's likable, because there's still the. Wait a minute. Were you supposed to be going back to Tampa and then you got on a plane and, you know, hopefully your son's healthy like that, to me, was just a little bit of a mess there. But, you know, you move past. If you win, you move past all these things. And certainly that opening press conference where we tend to put a Little too much credibility on that or, oh, my God, did you see our coach? I just want to know, can you coach? Maybe you can't deal with the media. Can you coach? That's really the most important. You can be charismatic as hell. Going to those press conferences, if your team's not any good, you won't be charismatic too long in front of the media.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Paul, I went back and looked, and you're right. The Sirianni reviews after his press conferences were not good. And a lot of it, they said, we don't know a lot about these assistant coaches. They don't do interviews. So sometimes, at least America, it's the first time you see in them. And Sirianni got roughed up. Dan Campbell was mixed reviews. Some people liked his and some people said, well, is this guy a coach or a. Just a motivator?
Paul Pabst
I think we were laughing at. And with. Maybe it was, oh, gosh, did you see that? And we're thinking, well, the Lions, it's the Lions, you know, biting kneecaps. But hey, they made him super bowl contenders, so nobody's laughing at him now. And Aaron Glenn came in there, he was on the staff with Dan Campbell and probably thought, hey, that's how he coaches. I can coach the same way and I can have success with the Jets. Woody Johnson is the owner of the jets, and he spoke to the media and he talked about what he needs to do next season.
Dan Patrick
I have to look in the mirror and write, and I have to be a better, better owner. And I'm trying to be better. And I do self scout, and a lot of people scout for me. You know, I've got to have patience or whatever. I've got to let them. Let them evolve as in these positions, which I think they will. I think it'll be quick, but I think they'll evolve.
Paul Pabst
Okay, so Woody Johnson needs to be a better owner. Five weeks ago today, there was an article that came out on the Athletic from Diana Rossini. This is a deep dive on the jets and just how messed up they are. And I don't know if Woody Johnson, owner, billionaire, don't tell me what to do. Looked at that and actually looked in the mirror, because I would have said to him, if he said, hey, I gotta look in the mirror and be a better owner. What is it that you did before that you need to improve upon Woody because he really needs to let people do their jobs. I find that the. That the more an owner is involved, the less successful you are, because it's hard to work that way, if somebody's always there over your shoulder, I mean, even with the Dan, it's the guys that I have in the back room, you got to let them do their job. And if they make a mistake, then, you know, you correct them and then you hope that it doesn't happen again. But if you're always there, if you're omnipresent, you just can't let somebody be themselves. And I think that is the problem sometimes, certainly with the Cowboys, with the Jets, I mean, Woody Johnson, his sons are involved in decisions. You know, did they go into the locker room and they're talking trash to the players? But five weeks ago today that article came out and maybe Woody Johnson says, let me take a step back. I think that would be beneficial for the Jets. Mark Davis is the owner of the Raiders and he talked about the impact of Tom Brady bringing in. Tom Brady was bringing in somebody that was on the football side that I had been lacking having here at the organization back in, I guess it was 18 with John Gruden. He was somebody that I brought in and really expected to be that person on the football side that would bring stability to the organization. He had a 10 year contract and all that and his head was chopped.
Bobby Bones
Off and we were put in a.
Paul Pabst
Really bad position as an organization head was chopped off. Yeah. I was told a while ago, in fact said it here, that Brady was running the team, this was his. And that's not a question. Now everybody knows that that's the case, that Tom was going to be involved in who the coach was going to be and certainly what are they going to do at the quarterbacking position. But Mark Davis is smart to let Tom Brady do this. These guys are smart to get where they are, to have that money to buy a team. I don't know why, they just get dumb. And I think it's, it's because it's sports and they're like, why do sport like Jerry Jones played at Arkansas back in the 60s, he was a lineman. That doesn't mean that he knows what he's doing with football. Just because he played. I played basketball, that doesn't mean I could be a GM or a coach. But I understand the game. But Jerry, hey, I played, you didn't. Okay, but that doesn't mean he should be involved in the day to day. And that's part of the problem here. Hey, I'm, I'm smart. I got a billion dollars or 2 or 3 or 4. Therefore, I guess I can be smart in football as well. It's different. It's so different than I'm running a business. This is a different monster that you're trying to run. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Pauline, I've always had a theory. I mentioned to you before, there's a lot of billionaires in our country, but I think a lot of billionaires still would love to be famous and known for what they do. And I think a lot of them, that's why they buy teams. Of course, it's a great investment. It's the best investment. But there's some. I don't know if Mark Cuban, that was part of his plan, but it worked, or just by default. But guys like Jerry Jones and Arthur Blank, and some of them, they want to be seen, they want to do press conferences, they want to talk, they want to be heard and known because you can't necessarily buy fame in our country.
Paul Pabst
Well, just ask Dan Snyder. He got 6 billion for his team, and he's probably miserable because he's not Dan Snyder. And nobody cares. Don Donald Sterling. No one cares. But they did care because you were the owner of my team. But being a billionaire, great. Being a billionaire who owns a team now, all of a sudden, people. People look at you differently that way.

At Mako, we bring your car back to life with affordable paint jobs, light collision repairs. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. All right, Dylan, you're up. What's our poll question today? All right, Dan, our one poll question. Which coaching hire will we look at the most favorably in three years time? Pete Carroll, the Raiders. Aaron Glenn with the Jets, Shoddy with the Cowboys, or Liam Cohen with the Jags? Now, you're not putting in Mike Brable in this? No. These are just the latest batch. Okay. Okay. All right. What other poll question do you have? Didn't we answer best hire, worst hire yesterday? I think we did that in the final. Oh, Dylan. Well, I thought we were gonna continue the conversation. Not best hire right now, but three years time. Which will we look at the best? Am I. Is this working? I don't know. Are you doubling down? I'm gonna double down. Okay. I don't hedge my bets. Okay, how about this? Yeah, you should. I've seen your bets. Okay, give me another possibility here. All right, If I was offered the Saints head coaching job, I would take it. Stay a coordinator or assistant or sit out and wait a year for Better opportunities.
Dan Patrick
I thought you were asking us, like, us in this room.
Paul Pabst
That's Fritzi's poll question, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, okay. We all share. Okay. I thought it was a good one. Okay. But you didn't give him credit. Todd. Thank you. I think you were waiting for our reaction before. It's a. It's a veteran. McLovin used to do that all the time. Oh, you guys didn't like that one? That was Todd. Yes, exactly. I would take the job. I would take the stitch. I want to be a head coach. Okay, well, I'll start with the best hire three years from now. Yeah. Okay. Well, okay. What is a good job? You know, if Aaron Glenn gets the jets into the playoffs, did he do a great job? If. If Brian Schottenheimer just gets into the playoffs with the Cowboys over the next three years, did he do a good, good job? I mean, Mike McCarthy got him to the playoffs three times. Liam Cohen, Jags get to the playoffs. Like, I think we have to understand how we're grading them. If you make the playoffs, you make a title game, you make the Super Bowl. Out of all of those hires, who's got the best chance to make it to the Super Bowl? That might. That might be. What is the telltale sign of who did a really incredible job? Aaron Glenn, The Jets. He still can't decide if they're bringing Aaron Rodgers back or Rodgers wants to come back. God, that's going to hang over them. I hope that they wrap that up quickly. I hope by the draft they know that Aaron is either back for another year or he's not. Because if not, I mean, I thought that that would be. That was a detriment with that job that you kind of. You were. You had to absorb that. You were walking in and all of a sudden that was handed to you. Like, here you go. I don't know what the backup plan for the jets is going to be. Yes, Todd, I think if we look at it as in, we don't have to change the wording completely, but which team looks like they're going in the right direction? So this way we avoid wins, losses. Did you reach the wild card round? Did you not finish in last place? And who would that be next year to? What just happened this past year? How about who looks like a Super bowl contender in three years? Can you ask that question to gauge how successful somebody is? Could easily be none of them, though. In the next three years it could be. Could. Thank you. I realized that in three years. I don't know if anybody. That's why they smell that. That's why they had vacancies, Todd. That's because they, that's asking a lot for any of these people to get them towards the super bowl in the next two or three years, I think. Thank you. Back to you. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Teams with new coaches. The Patriots have the fourth pick of the draft. Jacksonville has a fifth. Vegas has a sixth pick of the draft. The jets have the seventh pick of the draft. The Saints have the ninth.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, yeah. The Saints is just sort of, you know, feels like they got seven wins in them. Maybe eight, maybe nine if all goes well. Yes, Marvin, they're the Titans of the nfc. Oh, wow. Irrelevant. No man's land. They're better uniforms. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Correct.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, actually.
Dan Patrick
Correct.
Paul Pabst
Better uniforms. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Paul, they are somewhat. No offense. Stuck with Derek Carr, who's turning 34. He'll make about $40 million next year and they cannot get rid of him this offseason in any way. Next off season, possibly. But he signed a four year, $150 million contract with the Saints.
Paul Pabst
But that's not, it's not terrible.
Dan Patrick
It's unfixable.
Paul Pabst
But he's a, He's a top 15 quarterback, isn't he?
Dan Patrick
Seventeen.
Paul Pabst
Okay. Yes, Marvin. Yeah, he's a Pro bowl alternate level quarterback. You know what? I, let me, let me stop there because I want to talk about that. The Pro bowl. We, I came up with a solution last year. I just got to get, you know, these NFL writers to listen to me. It's really simple. All you have to do is add one letter. It's going to change things.

Play of the Day. Coming up, your phone calls settle on our poll question. We'll hear from Seaton at the top of next hour on the road with our new sponsor Mako heading down to New Orleans. It's the Scarlet Letter, and I want to apply it to the NFL. The Scarlet Letter. It's a big A. It's the Pro bowl alternate because now as J.J. watt. How long is J.J. watt been retired? You know, he's kind of doing the back in my day, year and a half. Yes, but he was saying that it's now kind of a participatory award. Hey, you made the Pro Bowl. Well, not really. You get to go play dodgeball. But I think you have to make sure that you have this designation. If you're an alternate, they're just looking for people to participate in this. That's all. But it shouldn't count on your resume because it used to. Maybe it still does. But if you're an alter, there should be. If you have three quarterbacks who make the Pro bowl from the afc, nfc, or if you just want to do, you're the first team Pro bowl quarterback. And that counts on your resume because once we get to the sixth alternate here, Vince Young. Who was it? Tyler Huntley. Didn't he make it? Vince Young twice alternate made the Pro Bowl. What's on your resume that helps players get into the hall of Fame? Yes, Marvin. And we're forgetting Pro bowl quarterback Mitch Trubisky, of course. Yep. David Garard, Steve Berline. Yeah, but that was back when it was, it was still a game that they were playing. But you have to, you have to differentiate between somebody who's a Pro bowl now All Pro. That's the one that settles arguments. If you say six time all Pro, you're getting into the hall of Fame. Six time Pro Bowler with the three alternate chances to go in, you're not getting into the hall of Fame. And that's where I think the NFL writers need to differentiate here. What is a Pro bowl player and what is. I need you to fill the roster. Add the scarlet letter. Pro bowl alternate. Fritzi says we should put an A on their uniforms, shiny A on their helmet for their jersey. Oh, he's just an alt dude. Whatever. How many people did they ask that said no and they ended up with this guy playing just a big A. Yes, Paul.
Dan Patrick
So Dan, when you research these things, when shows like us or research people for networks do research on players, they go to Pro Football Reference. It's the bible of all of the history of football. So for example, Russell Wilson made the Pro bowl nine different times as a Seahawk. Does he get credit for another Pro bowl this year?
Paul Pabst
He shouldn't.
Dan Patrick
He shouldn't. But I'm looking at his, his Pro bowl list and he'll probably on it. And that's gonna be the designation because when you look at people, when you're researching for the hall of Fame, this is what you use. For example, Patrick Willis. Remember the great linebacker? He was a seven time Pro Bowler, but he was a six time all Pro.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, he's A Hall of Famer.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but it's that those designations help your research.
Paul Pabst
Yes, but I still look at all. Probably the Pro Bowl. I don't give it. I don't attach much weight or credibility to that, but they're probably people who do. J.J. watt says when you get five alternates deep, just call it the Participate Participation Bowl. All right, I'm with him on it. I get it. But this has been around for a little while. Add the scarlet letter. You know, at least on your resume that you put the A on there. You're an alternate. But it gets silly because they. After a while, you're like, who wants to play? Hey, who would like to be in the dodgeball? Dodgeball. And you can bet on the dodgeball competition, as Dylan pointed out. Are you going to bet on the dodgeball? When we have our gambling podcast tomorrow? Are you going to wager. We're a little low on other stuff to bet on right now, Dan, so I think that might make a appearance on the board. Okay. Yes, Tom. That's when you got to make that gambling problem phone call. I think it's like, what about the tug of war? We get it on that. If you bet on the Pro bowl dodgeball game, please call this number. I used to bet on preseason football. That's. Those are probably on par. That was pretty sad. It was pretty sad. I've also done that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. 8, 7, 7, 3, DP show email address DP Dan patrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow But I don't know if even that alternate, like, how many guys have gotten the Pro bowl designation, but they weren't the original guy. And did that help anybody get into the hall of Fame like Russell Wilson? Is he a Hall of Famer? If you look at what, nine Pro Bowls and went to two Super Bowls and won a Super Bowl. I don't know. I don't know if he was ever All Pro, but I second team All Pro once. Okay. He's going to. He'll make the hall of Fame. I think with nine Pro Bowls and two super bowl appearances and a win, he probably will. But I don't know how many of those Pro bowl selections he was actually the initial quarterback. The, you know, the. The grouping that goes in that they're elected. Yes, Marvin. So I'm looking at the 2019 Pro bowl with Mitch Trubisky got into the alternate. Russell Wilson was also an alternate. Yeah, see, that shouldn't count, but it's there. It's on his resume, but it shouldn't Count, But I don't know if I'd have to ask Peter King. You know, I don't. I don't think Pete votes on it anymore, but it certainly did for a long time. Of how much do they factor that in the Pro bowl appearances? Yes, Todd. And for as far as the other sports, I can't speak to hockey, but baseball and basketball, I think still to this day, we consider that kind of a big deal. Right. If you see someone's resume, they were in 11 all star games in the NBA or MLB, but now it's becoming a joke almost for the NFL. Yeah. But the All Star Game, it's not, you know, the. The NFL for a long period of time was searching for something that they could have that, hey, you know, we have our All Star game. Nobody wanted to play in it. They wanted to be picked for it because it went on your resume. Tom Brady, I think, played in one Pro bowl. His first one. Yeah. And then he's like, what am I doing? Or the Patriots probably said, what are you doing? And that's why you get Mitch Trubisky or David Garard. And Drake May is going to be in the Pro Bowl. So he's a Pro bowl quarterback. Yes. Yes, Mark. And the issue is you can't play exhibition football. Like, you just can't play. Like, oh, you know what? We're just going to play a pickup game of, you know, tackle football. Yeah. So guys don't want to play. Well, I wouldn't want to play because all it takes is a Sean Taylor hit on you. Like that time I didn't watch the Pro Bowl a couple of years ago, and I don't know, it might have been Paulie. He goes, turn on ABC or whatever. He goes. And I go, what is on that Pro Bowl? I swear to God, I've seen more violence on Dancing with the Stars than. Than that they were slow dancing. They. They caught some. You know, you'd get somebody, but you didn't tackle them. You could just kind of slow dance a little bit, wrestle them to the ground. I get it. But, you know, does the NFL, does the commissioner get it that this is silly? Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Pulling the last Pro bowl game with actual physical action was that 2020 game. And I can't remember, I don't know if it was Luke Keakley or someone we had on the show the next day. They said. They all were chatting in the locker room and they said, hey, let's just go through the motions. Because as the game went on, it clearly was. It was Obvious that the teams were in agreement on this.
Paul Pabst
I think it was George Kittle that we had on, and he said that, yeah, they kind of conspired. They got together and like, hey, let's not hurt anyone, buddy. And I get it. You've already gone through a long season if you played in the playoffs, and now, hey, can't wait to go out there and hit somebody. Yes. Mark. Yeah. You want to just be named to the Pro bowl like you've been saying before? I just want to be a Pro Bowler. I don't want to play in the actual game. No, thank you. Hey, couple of phone calls in here. Doug in North Carolina. Hi, Doug. Welcome back. Hey, Dan. I have another conspiracy theory for you. I know how much you love me. I love it. I do not believe that the NFL is overtly trying to get the Chiefs into the Super Bowl. But I think there's something being done on a subconscious level where the refs know that their job is to protect the quarterback. And then they know that there are quarterbacks and then there are quarterbacks. And every playoff for years, it was Aaron Rodgers. There was always one guy who got phantom calls because you don't want to be the crew that's calling the game, and this guy goes out for the season. And even though I don't think it's a directive to try to get a team into the Super Bowl, I think what it does is there's so many phantom calls that it is when you hear these people calling up, truly believing in a conspiracy theory, we have to acknowledge whether we agree with them or not, that the integrity of the game is being challenged by all these phantom calls just to try to protect the guy. I get it, and thank you, Doug, that maybe subconsciously that's Mahomes or that's Brady or that's Peyton Manning. And I. I get it. But I don't think that the NFL, the officials, would conspire to make sure Mahomes continued to win. I just don't think they would go, you know, the team we want to be a dynasty. Kansas City. I just don't see why. Why Kansas City? If you had a map right now. If we had a map and I said, all right, fan bases, who are you rooting for? No, who are you rooting against in the Super Bowl? I mean, aside from Missouri, maybe a couple of states in the Midwest, it's going to be. People will be rooting for the Eagles. The Eagles are hard to root for, too. And you're saying, hey, we want you to root for The Eagles. We want the Eagles to win. Meanwhile, the NFL wants Kansas City to win. I just. I don't see that as. I mean, it's silly. Yes. Are the Eagles hard to root for or the Eagles fans? Eagles fans hard to root for? I don't. I don't know about Nick Sirianni. I'm rooting for him. Saquon. I am. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't think it's. I don't like that guy. But, you know, even with the Chiefs, like, you don't like somebody because they're really good or they're really popular, they're dating somebody or they get all the calls. I mean, that's why we don't like Kansas City. Or that's how people view Kansas City. And it's not the play. I mean, they, they, they do what a great team does. They don't make mistakes. Big moments, they come up big. That's kind of what you want. Now you can say, well, do they get calls? I think that they've learned how to get calls. I think they've learned what to do. You know, the wide receivers will tell you certain ways you position yourself, that you draw contact. A basketball player will talk about that certain way. James Harden got those calls all the time. Why? Because he knew how to get those calls. And maybe it's better coaching. And you got a Hall of Fame defensive coordinator. You got a Hall of Fame coach. Hall of Fame. They got rid of Tyreek Hill, one of, you know, the most dynamic explosive receivers in the game. And what they do. They won a couple Super Bowls. And we looked at that wide receiving core and we went, golly, they don't have anybody. Wait, Hollywood Brown is still in the league. Yeah. Wait, Samaji P. Ryan. Yeah. That's coaching. Plain and simple coaching. You got Mahomes, and it's not a dynamic show anymore. We loved him when he was throwing for 45, 50 touchdown. Man, they are awesome to watch. Then all of a sudden, they stopped being awesome to watch.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, like the Patriots you mentioned the other day, they won't spend at the wide receiver position. They'll take Xavier Worthy on a rookie contract, Rice on a rookie contract, and then Hopkins becomes available at the end of his career. Not too expensive. The Patriots took Randy Moss when his career was in the dip with Oakland. Yeah, they won't commit.
Paul Pabst
Except for, like, a guy like Kelsey Travis in Michigan. Hi, Travis. What's on your mind? Hey, so anyway, I was calling regarding the around the room talk about Dylan. Yeah. And everybody seemed to Be really short about it. I hate for the back row to start sucking again. So I was just thinking maybe you should kind of sterilize that area and put a ghost man there on the bench. Thank you, Travis. No, Dylan is here. Dylan is sitting in for Seaton this week. It's just a temp job, that's all. Yeah. Substance teacher. Yeah. Yeah. Or the son of a billionaire. That sounds better. Yeah. You do look like, you know, my dad's got a lot of money, and I kind of let myself go vibe. Well, if I. I kind of found out a little late in the game that I was going to be on air this week, so I probably would have worked out a little bit last week or something had I known those.
Dan Patrick
Three days really would have changed things.
Paul Pabst
That's like going on vacation.
Dan Patrick
Shred fest.
Paul Pabst
Kurt in Illinois. Hey, Kurt. Morning, D.P. not just wondering about, like, Tom Brady joining the Raiders. Not so much as, hey, I can make a bunch of money as a minority owner or, you know, keep around football, but maybe it's about his legacy in the fact that if he can actually build a team in Oakland, it could keep Mahomes from ever hitting his level of success. In Mahomes pseudo second act after this era of the Chiefs kind of fades off a little bit and keeps him from rebuilding and hitting all those records that Brady had. Well, did it take away from Michael Jordan being a terrible owner that that allowed LeBron maybe to sneak up and catch him? I don't. I don't think so. I mean, Mike was not a good owner, but I don't think that took away from his basketball resume. I don't know if we're going to go, hey, Patrick, Mahomes caught Tom Brady, but, hey, Tom is turning the Raiders around into super bowl contenders. I don't think that that's going to factor in, but it is something that Tom can put on his resume and as a broadcaster. What if he wins his sports Emmy? If Brady wins a sports Emmy before we do, then I'm quitting.
Dan Patrick
Eli got one, I think. Year one.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, but that was just part of his brother's show, Right? I don't know. And the sports Emmy goes to Tom Brady. What? Yeah. Yes, Tom. That would make the sports Emmys more fixed than Chiefs game. Wow. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Someone had to say it, and I chose to say it. All right.
Dan Patrick
I chose to say you did.
Paul Pabst
All right, we'll take a break here. Play of the day. Coming up, more phone calls. Seaton will join us on the road. Somewhere in North Carolina Coming up, top of the hour, the commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, is going to join us as well.

Paul Pabst
The play of the day. This is the play of the day. Check this out. James dominating against Justin, back on top and he threw it away again. Here's Ricky breaking free down the lane. Reverse jab. That's. Wait a minute, here's the judges 9.9.5, 9A10. Oh man. Ricky Council. That's courtesy of the Sixers radio network. Ricky Counsel of course get 16 points and Philadelphia had 48 second quarter points. So I started watching this game and it was all about no Paul George, no Joel N.B. pregame show. Everybody's picking the Lakers. Anthony Davis been great. Just coming off a 4020 game and all of a sudden Tyrese Maxey goes, hold on, let me take over this game. He was awesome. There are fast gut now, dear. And Fox might be the fastest guy in the NBA. Tyrese Maxey, he has got some get up and go. So the Lakers lose to the Sixers without Joel Embiid. I think that was Joel Embiid's 400th career game that he's missed. But who's keeping track? What a mess. But Tyrese Max and I felt really bad for Bronnie James because Bronnie got 15 minutes and he got worked. Yes, he did. Tyrese Maxi worked him, and he even said after, you know, hey, I'm just trying to stay in front of him. And he's really fast. And Tyrese Maxey is an explosive player. I think he had 43. But come on, if you're the Lakers all. All of a sudden, you're building up this goodwill, hey, we figured it out. You know, we've changed our lineup. Rui Hachimura's back, and I'm like. And then Anthony Davis had some kind of abdominal injury. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Paul, was it bring your son to work week? What was the reason for Brownie getting in there?
Paul Pabst
I. He just had a really big game in the G League. G League. But I don't know. You know, it was a nationally televised game. And I said this at the start of the year. I thought that they would pick and choose when they were doing nationally televised games and, you know, bring him up like Christmas, you know, those kind of things. Standalone games. He was surprised that he was called up. Yes. Marvin. And I think the most dangerous teams are guys without their star players, because there's guys that have been scoring 30 points their entire lives. They are ready. Joel Embiid is not playing. Paul George isn't playing. Caleb Martin's not playing. It's time to get these shots up. Ricky Counsel is coming in, lighting them up. Right. And I'm sure those guys, all those guys like Ricky Counsel, who most people don't know. I'm sure he was a five star recruit coming out of high school. So that guy's ready to put up shots. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Paul, did you say Joel embiid has missed 400 career games? I believe he's played 446 and he's missed 400. I have him at 40. 446 games played.
Paul Pabst
Wow. Can you check and see how many he's missed?
Dan Patrick
He missed his first two seasons, so that's 164 right out of the gate. We'll check that, though.

The Dan Patrick Show
Episode: Hour 1 – Saints Narrow Their Search, Pro Bowl = Participation Trophy
Release Date: January 29, 2025
Host/Authors: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
In this episode of The Dan Patrick Show, host Dan Patrick along with co-host Paul Pabst delves into the New Orleans Saints' ongoing search for a new head coach and critically examines the evolving perception of the NFL Pro Bowl. The discussion extends to broader topics such as coaching effectiveness, ownership influence in NFL teams, and the integrity of the game amid perceived biases. The episode is marked by insightful analysis, candid opinions, and engaging banter between the hosts.
The episode kicks off with an in-depth analysis of the New Orleans Saints' quest to secure a new head coach. The hosts evaluate potential candidates and the implications of the Saints' choices on the team's future performance.
Paul Pabst highlights the Saints as the last team still searching for a head coach, pondering whether the eventual hire might already have Super Bowl coaching experience:
"The New Orleans Saints are the last team looking for a head coach and maybe their coach is coaching in the Super Bowl." (02:19)
Dan Patrick discusses Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator, suggesting he might be the frontrunner and speculates on his potential impact:
"Kellen Moore can go to New Orleans and stay in New Orleans after the Super Bowl, day after the Super Bowl win or lose, hold a press conference and you got all the members of the media there." (04:15)
The conversation also touches upon other coaching candidates like Pete Carroll, Aaron Glenn, and Liam Cohen, evaluating their styles and how they might fit with the Saints' organizational culture.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to critiquing the NFL Pro Bowl, with the hosts arguing that it has devolved into a mere participation trophy.
Paul Pabst proposes a solution to differentiate Pro Bowl alternates from primary selections:
"I came up with a solution last year. All you have to do is add one letter. It's going to change things." (26:49)
Dan Patrick agrees, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing true Pro Bowlers from alternates for legacy and Hall of Fame considerations:
"Russell Wilson made the Pro Bowl nine different times as a Seahawk. Does he get credit for another Pro Bowl this year? He shouldn't." (27:08)
The hosts debate the relevance of Pro Bowl selections in evaluating a player's career achievements, particularly in comparison to All-Pro designations.
The discussion shifts to assessing the effectiveness of current NFL coaches and the role of team owners in influencing coaching decisions and team performance.
Paul Pabst criticizes owners who are overly involved in day-to-day team operations, using Jerry Jones of the Cowboys as an example:
"If the owner is always there over your shoulder, you just can't let somebody be themselves. And I think that is the problem sometimes, certainly with the Cowboys, with the Jets." (08:59)
Dan Patrick responds by reflecting on the need for owners to provide stability and allow coaching staff to evolve:
"I think I'll have to let them evolve as in these positions, which I think they will." (08:59)
They further discuss how ownership styles can either support or hinder a coach's ability to lead effectively, highlighting the challenges faced by new coaches in establishing their authority and implementation of strategies.
The episode also examines the impact of press conferences on public perception of coaches and teams, stressing that initial media interactions can influence a coach's reputation regardless of their actual coaching capabilities.
Paul Pabst observes that charismatic press conferences, like those of Pete Carroll, can create a façade of success:
"Pete Carroll's going to win a press conference. He's going to have energy in there." (06:10)
Dan Patrick counters by asserting that consistent team performance ultimately validates a coach's effectiveness:
"If your team's not any good, you won't be charismatic too long in front of the media." (07:50)
This segment underscores the tension between media relations and on-field performance in shaping a coach's legacy.
Toward the latter part of the episode, the hosts delve into theories surrounding referee biases and their impact on game integrity, particularly in favoring star quarterbacks.
Paul Pabst shares a listener's conspiracy theory about referees subconsciously favoring quarterbacks from popular teams like the Chiefs:
"I don't think that the NFL officials would conspire to make sure Mahomes continued to win. I just don't think they would go, you know, the team we want to be a dynasty." (38:25)
Dan Patrick debates the validity of such theories, suggesting that team performance and coaching strategies are more significant factors:
"They are awesome to watch. Then all of a sudden, they stopped being awesome to watch." (37:03)
The conversation reflects ongoing debates about fairness and consistency in officiating within the NFL.
Paul Pabst on Pro Bowl's diminishing value:
"It's going to be the Participation Trophy. It's become a joke almost for the NFL." (25:00)
Dan Patrick on ownership roles:
"I have to let them evolve as in these positions, which I think they will." (08:59)
Paul Pabst on referee biases:
"I don't think the NFL officials would conspire to make sure Mahomes continued to win." (38:25)
In this episode, Dan Patrick and Paul Pabst provide a comprehensive analysis of the New Orleans Saints' coaching search, offering critical insights into the NFL's Pro Bowl system and broader issues affecting team performance and game integrity. Their candid discussions highlight the complexities of coaching, ownership influence, and the evolving prestige of accolades within professional football.
