College football coming up tonight. It'll be Miami and Ole Miss, Miami favored by three and a half. It's the Fiesta bowl and then you'll have Oregon and Indiana rematch. That will be on Friday night. We'll talk some NFL. We'll get ready for the weekend. Ryan Fitzpatrick, former quarterback, now working for NFL on Prime. Jesse Palmer, ESPN college football analyst, will stop by as well. I'm not even sure if we settled on a poll question in the first hour of the program. I maybe didn't do my responsibilities by asking Seaton, but I'm sure he put up a poll question or two.
Seaton (0:49)
It's okay. We actually thrice Dan, a poll question thrice today already we have up there. Which team got better yesterday, the Atlanta Hawks or the Washington Wizards?
Dan Patrick (1:01)
Neither.
Seaton (1:02)
Well, one of them had to have, right? The Atlanta Hawks slightly got better by.
Dan Patrick (1:07)
About 53% after the blockbuster deal.
Seaton (1:09)
After the blockbuster trade that took place. Yeah, the Atlanta Hawks slightly better yesterday. I don't know if that's addition by subtraction in the minds of this audience or not.
Dan Patrick (1:17)
Yes, it is.
Seaton (1:18)

We also have up there a bracket to get predictions in for the AFC and NFC playoff. Right now in the NFC, the Rams have about 30% of that vote. And then there's a three way tie between the Bears, Eagles and Seahawks at 15%. And then in the AFC, bills have 33% of that vote, followed by the Patriots with 25. They're both kind of running away with the AFC.

Okay. 8, 7 7, 3 DP show operator Tyler sitting by, doing nothing but taking your phone calls and keeping an eye on my dog, Winnie. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. You know, you start to look at these games this weekend in the NFL and now I think we look at them differently, at least for a couple of teams because when I talked to Dan Orlovsky yesterday, I said, is Sean McDermott coaching for his job this weekend? And he said, I hate, I hate to answer this question, but, but if I'm going to be honest, I would say yes, they're favored by one and a half at Jacksonville. But now you have to factor in that you have John Harbaugh out there. So this is changing a lot for a couple of teams. A couple of Teams that are in the playoffs and certainly a couple of teams that have held on to their current coaches, like the Miami Dolphins, Are they going to keep their current head coach if John Harbaugh would be interested? The Pittsburgh situation, I don't see that with John Harbaugh. If Mike decides that he's going to go into tv, which I think that there is still a very good chance that that could happen with Mike Tomlin, that he not going to take another coaching job, but he would get into tv and almost, you know, we. There was a trend there for a long time where coaches would come into the mothership and they'd be there for a year or two and then they would go back out into the coaching pool. And maybe that's what Mike Tomlin, and he's still relatively young, and maybe you can sit, watch and then figure out the place that's ideal for you. It's like when Jon Gruden came out of the booth and I thought, gosh, you know what? You better be right. You better be. It's a lot of money the Raiders paid you, but you better be right. Because you don't get that job back. And he's not going to get that job back. I don't know if he's going to get another head coaching job. But you go in, you got the money, and you couldn't do much with that organization. You obviously got in trouble with the league. But when you take those jobs, it, you know, if you're giving up a TV job, chances are you won't get the TV job back. And those TV jobs, you can stay there for 10, 15 years. Look at Bill Cower, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Duncan. You know, I know that there were probably feelers for Tony to coach the Detroit Lions before Dan Campbell. And, you know, these franchises are doing the right thing. Like, let's just ask. Let's just ask if this person would be interested. And you know, they've got good TV jobs. And you would think with Bill Cowers, makeup that man, I got to have something competitive. And that's the one thing that you just can't get. You can't replicate that. The only thing you can do that comes close to that as a former player or coach is to do a game. Because when you do a game now, you're at least involved in the setting. When you do studio, it's very sterile. And sometimes trying to get guys to be animated, to be excited, that's difficult to do in that kind of setting out of the game. Like J.J. watt is better doing A game, because that kind of fits his personality. You want that? You know, Brady needs to be involved. He needs to be at a game, dissecting, you know, kind of sorting everything out here. I'm going to prepare for two teams here. When you're in the studio, hey, you got 30 seconds to talk about Bo Nicks, okay? And then you start talking. They go, you know, we're gonna cut it short 15 seconds. And then you. Okay. And then you throw out something. You don't even know what you said. You got somebody talking in to your ear, and you're like, there's no other setting like that. I guess I can tell you what being a studio analyst is like. And somebody speaking into your ear. Like, as a host, there'd be times when I'm talking and I have somebody in my ear telling me, hey, throw it to Mike Florio. He's got breaking news. So I'm listening to Tony Dungy, tell me something. Or I'm talking to Tony, setting him up, and I've got somebody saying, hey, Florio's got breaking news. We do it here. You know, I can be talking. Paulie goes, I got breaking news. Guess who just got fired here. Oh, Charles Barkley is going to be able to join us in 10 minutes. Like that's what happens. Charles Barkley got fired. Well, kind of. With tnt. Should have never left tnt.
