Dan Patrick
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. The video is apocalyptic. Some of the news broadcast I'm watching with what's happened in California, Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, man, it's heartbreaking. It's one thing when you get out of your house and you're safe and you've evacuated, but you still lost your house. And that video, it is. It is really, really tough. It's. It's devastating in more ways than one. So the firefighters, thank God for them. And I always think about this, you know, whenever you're in a hometown, your small town, and you see the firefighters out there and they'll have that day where they have their boots and they're collecting money. Think about that next time. Just think about that next time with those great people. But, you know, this feels like it's a yearly thing that goes on an annual thing. Unfortunately, with California and these winds are whipping, I mean, 80, 90 miles per hour, you're not sure where to go, even when you evacuate. Talking to a friend Last night at 2 in the morning my time, he said, I don't know where to go, don't know which direction. Said it's scary. So the proverbial thoughts and prayers, but certainly more than that, whatever that is. Certainly more than that, but really, really, that you watch and you're like, that is real. And it's happening right now. It's almost like from a movie set, but it's not. All right. Our job is to be a diversion. Our job is to entertain, make you laugh, make you think, make you smile. And we'll try to do that today. We got the minister of humor here, Fritzi in the back row. You got Seaton, you got Marv, you got Paulie, yours truly, and of course, the back room. Guys, good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app to watch the program. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show and this first hour brought to you by Rapid Radios, the official walkie talkie of the DP show. Instant push to talk offering national LTE coverage. No subscriptions ever. Business owners keep in touch with up to 200 staff members at one time. One push of a button to rapid radios.com up to 60% off and free shipping. We'll talk to Chase Daniel, the former quarterback. He'll join us from now he's driving up from San Diego to Los Angeles and he works for Fox Sports 1. So hopefully Chase will be okay commuting from San Diego up there with the fires. Mike Florio on the comings and goings here of you know, Antonio Pierce gets fired. I was not surprised that he got fired. This has Tom Brady's fingerprints all over it. In my opinion as a minority owner, if I'm Mark Davis, it'd be crazy not to use Thomas the sounding board to say what do you think we should do? How do you think that we should approach this and what coach do you have in mind? So Florio will join us a little bit later on as well. Got a poll question. Player of the day Stat of the Day 8773, DP Show Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Got a big basketball game tonight. It'll be the Thunder against the Cavaliers. Thunder the best in the west. The Cavs the best in the East. That's national tv. And then you'll have spurs in the box. So you got Wemby against the Greek freak. So maybe basketball will take the spotlight and showcase some great talent, some great teams there. Coming up later on tonight. Back to Antonio Pierce being fired. I didn't think he was going to keep his job because of Tom Brady coming in. Now if they had the number one pick, then I thought for sure he's not going to keep his job. It's. You want to come in? Okay, let's start. Let's start with a coach and maybe we get a quarterback here. I thought they were going to go all in on Michael Penix last year. Now they could have gotten Bo Nixon, but they got Brock Bowers who is going to finish runner up and rookie of the year. He's, he was great. But you got to find your quarterback. Now imagine if you had your quarterback. I mean, that's another thing when you look at Brock Bowers and Malik Neighbors, they put up these unbelievable seasons with bad quarterback Play, which makes it like, if you're grading it on a curve, damn, that's impressive. So here are the Raiders with the sixth pick. Now, it's not a heavy quarterback draft. You're going to have Cam Ward, who right now is the favor to be the number one pick. If the Titans hold on to it, then Shador Sanders, then you're going to have Jalen Milroe at some point. But if you're the Raiders, are you going to get maybe somebody in free agency? Now, I was talking to somebody, a former TV executive who is well connected with owners around the league, and I'm talking to him about a couple of things, and I said, would the Raiders kick the tires on Aaron Rodgers? He said, well, yes. And he goes, I would, too. Because, Aaron, respect for Tom Brady, Raiders, you're playing inside half of your games are going to be. Now, granted, you're in the AFC west, but if you want to do that, bridge quarterback there. And I said, okay, like, I. I just. I can't get into the Aaron Rodgers business now. I just can't. And. And I know those are respectable numbers that he put up, but there's just so much more that's going to go with this. Now, are you, like, what do you have? And you bring him in. What do you, like? What are your expectations? Hey, let's win five games. Hey, it doesn't matter what our record's going to be. People are still going to show up. We're a tourist destination. Like, I don't. I don't know what the mindset would be for the Raiders that how quickly do they want to win? But if Tom Brady's involved in this, Tom Brady, he's not used to losing, and that's what I think. How do you expedite this? Does he bring in Mike Vrabel? Does Mike Vrabel. And this is another thing I asked the former TV exec, I said, does Mike Vrabel turned down the Patriots as a way of showing respect to Bill Belichick? Because what happened at the very end with the Kraft family and Belichick now, he said, yes, I could see that happening. Now, once again, this is just somebody's opinion on this, because I don't think anybody really knows what goes on with the Patriots. They're pretty, you know, close to the best. But if you're Mike Vrabel and you have respect for Belichick, would you want to go back to where Bill coached and created this legacy? Would you? And he's going to have, I think, multiple opportunities I think Brable will have a couple of different places to choose from, which is interesting because he was available last year and maybe he decided that he didn't want to coach, didn't want to be a head coach, maybe wanted to kind of step back, be, you know, a consultant for the Cleveland Browns. But now he's going to get that opportunity. But Brady's got to get his quarterback. That's the crazy part of this, that the greatest quarterback now needs to find a quarterback and who's going to be good enough. Now is that where you go to Sam Darnold? That's a possibility as well. So I think there's so much going on. Then you got the Dallas Cowboys situation, Mike McCarthy. Now the Cowboys said, no, you can't interview with the Chicago Bears. But it's kind of interesting that in a week's time if he's not resigned, they can't do anything about it. But then if he's not resigned, then they're not bringing like I don't know what the hold up there is, but Jerry Jones after the game on Sunday was asked about Mike McCarthy interviewing elsewhere. Then I would say go talk. I really would go talk.
- [11:00]
Adnan Virk
So it sounds like I just let Zeke do that.
- [11:02]
Bobby Bones
Gotcha.
- [11:03]
Dan Patrick
But I don't want want anybody here that's not healthy to have somebody around and wants to be someplace else.
- [11:08]
Adnan Virk
Really, it's not.
- [11:10]
Dan Patrick
Okay, then why did you deny permission? Mike doesn't want to interview with the Bears. He'd rather stay with the Cowboys. But if you're not going to resign him and let him go interview with the Bears. Mind boggling. Mind boggling. Alrighty. Satan, what's poll question for the first hour of the program?
- [11:34]
Bobby Bones
Well, we got a few of them here for you. Let's see, Paulie sent one over the head coachless team that feels furthest from the Super Bowl.
- [11:43]
Dan Patrick
Furthest from the Super Bowl. Head coachless.
- [11:50]
Bobby Bones
It's a fun phrase, isn't it?
- [11:51]
Dan Patrick
Sounds weird. Look at us, we're head coachless. How's the rest of the body? Okay, well, let me think about that. Maybe we'll do that in, in a few minutes. Okay. What else do you have seen?
- [12:07]
Bobby Bones
Let's see.
- [12:07]
Dan Patrick
We have better gig Fox broadcaster or Raiders front office. Well, he is a part owner, so that's different than and they kept Tom Tesco as their gm. I, I just see Brady as a one and done. He does the super bowl and then he decides that he's going to be more involved with the Raiders. I just don't see Tom Sort of in and like one foot in, one foot out with the Raiders, I just. He's too much of a competitor. And it's one thing you can compete in this business. Like I compete with myself every day. We compete, you know, with ourselves each day. But this is different. These are wins and losses with Tom and creating something, building something. And I think that would probably intrigue him as opposed to being a broadcaster. I mean, Tom can be at a certain level and he knows that there'll just be people who don't like him just because he's Tom Brady or he beat their team or whatever it might be. You know, Tom is competing against Tom and I think that I don't know if he gets the same kind of adrenaline rush now he will. When you do a playoff game, when you do the Super Bowl, Tom's going to be like, oh my God, that was awesome. But it's still not that awesome of playing in it. Or you're part of a team now, it's a different team. It's the Fox broadcast team. But he's used to winning and losing and when you get done with the show, only you decide if you've won or lost. Hey, how did I sound? Was that good? This is different with the Raiders. Yeah, Seaton.
- [13:46]
Bobby Bones
But if his plan was to be part of the Raiders organization.
- [13:50]
Dan Patrick
Right.
- [13:51]
Bobby Bones
He's a minority owner, but he wants to be involved in the day to day operations. Why would you sign a 10 year contract at Fox?
- [13:58]
Dan Patrick
Well, he got that before he got the Raiders situation. He didn't know that was going to be approved. Now, once again, I don't have any information on that, but I'm just thinking, I think Tom realized broadcasting is a little bit tougher than he thought. I think he thought, you know what, this is fun. I'm around the game and I've been around a lot of former players and former coaches who realize that those who make it look easy, that's how they stand out. Those are the stars. It's not easy. But when you make like John Madden made it seem like, oh man, you just get it and then boom. But it was so much more than that. Like you have to put in your time. Tom can't even go and be in these meetings now. Like he can't even be there to talk to these people like, you know, the analysts normally do. So I think Tom, it was an offer he couldn't refuse. And then I think he probably realizes that, all right, I kind of like it. You know, it's kind of fun, but nothing compares to competing. And he's one of the ultimate competitors. And that's why I think. And look, Andrew Marshawn of, you know, the media critic, he's the one who brought it up and said, hey, he thinks Tom's going to be one and done. Yeah. Paulie, if you had this could be.
- [15:19]
Bobby Bones
A five minute poll question. If you had to bet that Tom Brady has one job a year from now, which would it be?
- [15:25]
Dan Patrick
The Raiders. Yeah, yeah.
- [15:27]
Bobby Bones
The competitive angle.
- [15:29]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah. Once. Once again, you know, I was around Drew Brees and when you're, when you're in the studio, it's sterile, and that's what it's really jolting for these former coaches and players. It's like you're watching these games and then you talk a little bit about them with highlights and analysis and. But if you go to games, broadcast games, there's a whole different energy when you walk in. And I thought, okay, maybe that can replicate something that Tom had when he played that feeling. And I, man, I like this. I, I think he realized it's a little bit tougher, the critics. You know, you can't just go out there and say, I'm going to throw a touchdown pass. That's. It doesn't work that way. Or, man, wait till they get this analysis. And Tom was working, is working with somebody who is trying to help him bring up things that nobody else is bringing. Like he wants to get that he's a competitor. There's. And I was told that he works with somebody at Fox and they're trying to give him these stats, you know, things that he can work on, bring up. And then it's like, all right, I see what you're doing there. Tom. Yes, Todd.
- [16:40]
Adnan Virk
Is he more concerned about his look.
- [16:43]
Dan Patrick
Or how he sounds in the air? I don't know. I. I mean, I think his looks are all set. He's good there, I think, but you.
- [16:53]
Adnan Virk
Still got to maintain it, though.
- [16:55]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, I think he's pretty good for a little.
- [16:57]
Bobby Bones
Let himself go.
- [16:58]
Dan Patrick
Clearly. I, I think in the next 10 years, he'll look pretty good. Still. His voice, his voice is something that, you know, he, it. He doesn't have that great voice, but I don't know if that would factor in at all. I think this is just Tom, get a coach in there, maybe get Mike Rabel in there, and then you find your quarterback and then this is a different way of kind of differentiating you from anybody else. You know, Elway tried to do it. It didn't work out. You know, others have tried to be part of a franchise, and certainly great quarter hall of Fame quarter. Dan Marino's with the Dolphins. This is something where if you create something like this, I think you just put that on the resume. It's another thing to put on the resume and say, yep, I did that. Did you? Yeah. Paulie.
- [17:50]
Bobby Bones
As journalist Tom Brady just last night.
- [17:52]
Adnan Virk
Posted a picture on vacation.
- [17:54]
Bobby Bones
He's at the beach with a football in his hand. He goes, man, it's January. I gotta see how the. The arm is. See if I can still do it, like, for fun. He's just goofing around, but of course he's shirtless, and he looks. The lighting is just perfect.
- [18:05]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but he could still play. That's the thing.
- [18:08]
Bobby Bones
He looks lean.
- [18:09]
Dan Patrick
He will. He will be the best quarterback in the building with the Raiders next year. Even if they bring in Sam Darnold. Tom. Or bring in Rogers.
- [18:22]
Bobby Bones
He.
- [18:22]
Dan Patrick
Tom would probably think, you know, I could probably do this. It's just, you know, this is. And I wouldn't rule it out after watching LeBron last night. Now it's different. Lebron's, you know, freakish. The dunk that he had against the Mavs. But, you know, in his mind, Tom probably goes, I could still do it. Yeah. I'm only 40. I'm only 47. I could see that. All right, glad you're with us. And whatever role we play in your lives on a daily basis, certainly those of you in Los Angeles, hopefully we can be a diversion for you today.

It's extremely pink.

We spoke with Kyle Hamilton yesterday after practice and he is a two time Pro bowl safety for the Ravens and a Notre Dame grad as well played under Marcus Freeman as his defensive coordinator. And I started out by asking Kyle Hamilton which game does he feel more confident about. The Ravens against the Steelers or is Fighting Irish playing tonight against Penn State?
- [25:41]
Kenny Dillingham
You know, take it one step at a time. So Notre Dame is tomorrow. So I'm worried about that Notre Dame game tomorrow. I got a few Penn State people talking a little trash. But you know, I said it's they had a good season. They, it's kind of a cool story. They came this far, get the program started. But we got bigger things to do.
- [26:01]
Dan Patrick
Okay. You have, I think three teammates who went to Penn State. Are there any side bets on this game?
- [26:08]
Kenny Dillingham
A ton of bragging rights because that's all anybody does is brag about their college. But you know, come Friday morning, I'm going to be really loud.
- [26:15]
Dan Patrick
Marcus Freeman looks like he could still.
- [26:17]
Kenny Dillingham
Play Kyle, I think he's only about 35, something like that.
- [26:23]
Dan Patrick
Is he?
- [26:24]
Kenny Dillingham
But he might have been making that up.
- [26:25]
Dan Patrick
But around there I think he was pretty. Was he? He was what, defensive coordinator when you were there?
- [26:31]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah, he was my D.C. he was. It was cool to have a D.C. that was closer in age to us than our head coach and can kind of relate been in it and can relay the messages very well to us.
- [26:45]
Dan Patrick
Do you get to tackle Lamar Jackson or Derrick Henry?
- [26:49]
Kenny Dillingham
No. I mean, I wish I could. Lamar more so than Derek, but you.
- [26:55]
Dan Patrick
Don'T want to tackle Derek Henry.
- [26:57]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah, no, that's, that's, you know, when asked to do so, you know, you got to do what you got to do. But I'm glad he's on the Ravens.
- [27:04]
Dan Patrick
Okay. But that's where you make a business decision. If he was playing on the Titans, have you made business decisions when you're tackling somebody.
- [27:13]
Kenny Dillingham
I feel like you can't really do that because if you try to do that, then you know, you're just going to get embarrassed.
- [27:18]
Dan Patrick
Well, you can't admit it, but in your mind it's like, God, this is going to hurt.
- [27:24]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah, yeah. But most of the time you get up next play and then you forget about it.
- [27:29]
Dan Patrick
But trying to corral Lamar, I mean, how tough is that? And he's your teammate.
- [27:35]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah. Obviously I can't speak from experience other than fall camp, but even then when he's going 50% Lamar, it's still tough to stop him. And you see it every single game day. It's just like, I know the defense has to be frustrated being out there and you feel like you got the perfect play dialed up and you do, and then you get to him and he squirms out and runs for 50 yards or throws a 60 yard touchdown. It's just, it's gotta be demoralizing.
- [27:58]
Dan Patrick
Okay, if we ran a 40 yard dash, who's winning on the team out of everybody? Yeah.
- [28:06]
Kenny Dillingham
Definitely not me as I showcase at the combine.
- [28:12]
Dan Patrick
What was your time at the combine?
- [28:14]
Kenny Dillingham
4, 5, 9.
- [28:15]
Dan Patrick
All right. Yeah, but you're tall, you're rangy. You make up for it.
- [28:21]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah, the teams didn't care. They thought I was slow, but, you know.
- [28:26]
Dan Patrick
Did they call you slow?
- [28:30]
Kenny Dillingham
Some of them did, but, you know, it worked out and I'm. I'm right where I need to be at.
- [28:35]
Dan Patrick
You're. You're speed challenged is what you are. You're not slow, you're just speed challenged. And your 40 was faster than Jerry Rice's.
- [28:44]
Kenny Dillingham
Oh, I can. All right. That's something to stand on. I can. Somebody tries to make fun of me, but. 40 yard dash winner on the team. Probably. Probably Keaton. No, Nate Wiggins. Nate Wiggins. Nate Wiggins and Keaton Mitchell would be a good race.
- [28:59]
Dan Patrick
Where's Lamar in this? If we did a 40 or 100.
- [29:02]
Kenny Dillingham
Yard, I don't think anybody's ever really seen Lamar run full speed. When he does, he's super fast. So I probably put is that Lamar runs around high four three.
- [29:15]
Dan Patrick
He's Kyle Hamilton, the Raven safety, two time Pro Bowler and former Notre Dame Fighting Irishman. The difference between playoff practice and a regular season practice is what?
- [29:28]
Kenny Dillingham
Honestly, not much, at least for us. You know, we try to take that mindset in every single week so we don't get to the playoffs and then change what we're doing. It's something that I think the Ravens have done a great job of. Coach Harbaugh, everybody in the facility and everybody on the staff is just, you know, we're kind of built for this at this point and it's just business as usual. So go out on Saturday and do we need to do.
- [29:48]
Dan Patrick
Are you preparing for both quarterbacks?
- [29:52]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's kind of something that you got to prepare for because they deploy Justin Fields when you know, QB driven run stuff and obviously he's still a quarterback, still throw the ball. So, you know, you never know how the game's going to go. So you got to prepare, be prepared for everything.
- [30:07]
Dan Patrick
Best wide receiver you faced this season was who?
- [30:12]
Kenny Dillingham
That's a good question. You know, CDs pretty good. I'm forgetting somebody. I will always say it wasn't this season but last season. Puka Nakua is probably one of the more underrated people in the league just playing against him. He's physical, he's tough, makes great catches, runs good routes and you know, not a lot of people give him credit for what he does. And that's one person that really stuck out to me last year.
- [30:37]
Dan Patrick
But Kyle, I watch him play and I'm like, okay, how did everybody miss on Pukinakua being a great wide receiver? Even a good wide receiver in the NFL?
- [30:47]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah, I mean, I think he had somewhat of a subpar combine or something coming out, maybe measurables, but I think people get stuck in the numbers a little too much and forget that, you know, you gotta play football. At the end of the day, he's definitely a good football player.
- [31:01]
Dan Patrick
Jim Harbaugh is quirky, weird. Is John Harbaugh quirky, weird?
- [31:09]
Kenny Dillingham
Honestly, I don't think so. I think he was probably the cooler brother growing up. Even though Jim was the NFL quarterback, you know, John was still the older brother and. Nah, I feel like. I feel like he kind of has those older brother qualities and Jim has those younger brother qualities.
- [31:26]
Dan Patrick
Does John say goofy things, though?
- [31:29]
Kenny Dillingham
Yeah, he does. Goofy, borderline corny. He. He tries and we appreciate him trying to have a little satirical side to him, but, you know, sometimes he is. It's kind of a hit or miss with them.
- [31:43]
Dan Patrick
Well, congrats so far. Good luck against the Steelers and thanks for joining us.
- [31:49]
Kenny Dillingham
Thank you, dad. Appreciate it.
- [31:50]
Dan Patrick
That's Kyle Hamilton, the Raven safety. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.

It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest. It was a little pink.
- [32:47]
Dan Patrick
There was something sentimental when you. Like when you send it, it was.
- [32:51]
Bobby Bones
Like, do I send the heart? Now I don't like the color addition.
- [32:55]
Dan Patrick
Extremely pink.

Dan Patrick
Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. We say good morning to the Arizona State head football coach Kenny Dillingham. Had an unbelievable season. Took Texas to a couple of overtimes before being bounced from the postseason. Kenny, thanks for joining us. How many times have you watched that game?
- [37:01]
Adnan Virk
Too many. Way Way too many, probably 10, 12 times.
- [37:06]
Dan Patrick
But what are you trying to get out of that when you watch?
- [37:10]
Adnan Virk
To be honest, just what tips did they have to give their players an advantage? And if we ever played them again, what could we do to give our players an advantage? I mean, nothing more or less than that.
- [37:22]
Dan Patrick
Do you watch alone?
- [37:23]
Adnan Virk
I do.
- [37:26]
Dan Patrick
Do you, do you drink beers when you're. I mean, you know, can, can you have a little bit of fun when you're watching this coach?
- [37:33]
Adnan Virk
Sometimes. Usually when you win, you do that. When you lose, you try to drown in the sorrows.
- [37:39]
Dan Patrick
But what is it that you could have done? If I say you get one Mulligan, what would you have done differently?
- [37:46]
Adnan Virk
I would have had not called a timeout on the fourth and one on in overtime. I would have let the play eat and it would have converted and I would have had a timeout to save for the 4th and 12. When yours checked out of it out into a Cover 0 beater.
- [38:07]
Dan Patrick
I thought you were going to say something about the targeting. No call there.
- [38:11]
Adnan Virk
I can't control that.
- [38:14]
Dan Patrick
How painful is that to watch? Because I thought it was. You could have picked a penalty, either defenseless receiver or you could have done targeting and they gave you neither of those. What do you see when you see that play now? Over and over?
- [38:29]
Adnan Virk
I think I see the same thing that everybody sees. That's just. It is what it is though, that sport. There's missed calls, there's calls all. There's probably five other calls in the game that nobody talks about that probably could have gone against us. So I don't like to use those moments as excuses, even though they're the big moments and they're what everybody should talk about because people only talk about the big plays, the big moments, the big no calls, the big made calls, whatever it is. But there's a lot of things I could have done better to help our football team.
- [39:00]
Dan Patrick
If Ryan Day reached out to you today and said, hey, got any tips for me facing Texas, what would you tell him?
- [39:08]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, I would tell them they're. They're very physical on the perimeter. They're. They're really good tacklers and I think that's a great skill. I think it's one thing you see on tape, but like when you see it live, the size and the tackling ability, it's different. Then I would say you have to have an ability to check when Quinn Ewers checks. You can't let Quinn Ewers check Texas into good football plays and, and not change the look, so you better create a mechanism defensively to check when he checks.
- [39:37]
Dan Patrick
Okay, explain how you then can counteract when yours is going to check and change the play, then what is your.
- [39:44]
Adnan Virk
Job so you could have like a dual call. So basically you say we're going to run field blitz and we're going to run cover four. And if the quarterback checks, then we're going to change from our field blitz call to automatically changing to cover four. So he made a check based off of field blitz and he wants the perfect play versus that we're now going to a complimentary call. So having a way, just like offenses have a way to. When you hear kill, kill and the quarterback say that he's changing calls but based off the look. Same thing for a defense, but the.
- [40:20]
Dan Patrick
Fourth and 13 touchdown. Did he check out of something?
- [40:24]
Adnan Virk
He did. He checked out out of a call in which we felt really good about what we were doing into a call later on the clock. And you know, he didn't. Unbelievable check. And then they executed really well.
- [40:38]
Dan Patrick
What did you think of the Notre Dame, Penn State game?
- [40:42]
Adnan Virk
Unbelievable game. I think Marcus Freeman's an absolute stud of a human being. I've been going versus him since I was at Florida State when he was the defensive coordinator and he was a phenomenal coach then. And I think the way he leads people, I think you can see his guys play really hard.
- [40:56]
Dan Patrick
Do you have a clock management guy like Marcus Freeman has a guy right next to him. Do you have a guy whose only job is to give you clock management?
- [41:06]
Adnan Virk
I did. It was Matt Butterfield. He just took the full time special teams coordinator job though elsewhere. So I'm hiring. So if you ever want to hang.
- [41:14]
Dan Patrick
It up.
- [41:17]
Adnan Virk
Let me know.
- [41:19]
Dan Patrick
I like the colors and I like the climate. I just don't know what it pays.
- [41:24]
Adnan Virk
Not what you meant.
- [41:27]
Dan Patrick
He's the Arizona State head coach, Ken Dillingham joining us on the program. I'm going to ask Bill Cower about this. We see this with Dan Campbell, other coaches, they create a culture. It feels like you're creating a culture, but I don't know how you go about creating that culture.
- [41:44]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, I think for us we pick our players, right. We recruit our players. So for us it's recruiting guys that are like minded. You know, our three pillars of our program are be a good person. It's very simple to be a good person, make good decisions. It's very simple to make good decisions and then have more fun working harder than anybody in the country. So what is our culture? We better recruit to people that when they walk around the building, they have a smile on their face, they're excited to be here, they crack a joke. You know, they're. They have personality. Because I really think when you get people around you that have personality, you wake up and you may have a down day, and that person is going to lift you higher than you would have been. And that's the culture we're trying to create.
- [42:24]
Dan Patrick
First time you see Cam scatter, boo you. Your response is. Your reaction is, what?
- [42:30]
Adnan Virk
Man, this had all those yards. You know, he's. He's an underdog. There's a reason for it. And. But what he's done to change his body and to change who he is, just as a physical specimen, he's the strongest he's ever been. Least body fat he's ever had, fastest he's ever been. Mindset's better than it's ever been. He went from a really, really good football player to somebody who was top five in the Heisman vote. And I think he should have been higher.
- [42:58]
Dan Patrick
But so that confidence of just kind of loading him up, just say, go, like he's going to. He knows he's going to get. We talked to him after the loss, and he said, look, I know I'm going to get hurt. I know it's going to hurt, but I'm going to hurt you as well. Like, that kind of physicality. And he said, Marshawn lynch is sort of, you know, one of his idols are who he runs like.
- [43:19]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, I think Scott just has that mindset he gets into. He's the nicest kid off the field, super intelligent. People think his play style. Oh, he's crazy. Scott is incredibly intelligent, high, high iq. And for him to flip a switch into this, like, no way anybody can stop me mode. And does that mean he's always not going to be stopped? No. Nobody in the history of sports ever been invincible. But it means he believes it so much that he's going to make plays that people are like, what just happened? And every day for the last 700 days or whatever, 780 days I've coached him. He has done something at practice or in a game that I'm like, what just happened? That is incredible.
- [44:03]
Dan Patrick
How often do you go to an opposing team stadium and people question if you really are the head coach at Arizona State?
- [44:10]
Adnan Virk
Oh, the way easier question, how often do I. Does that not happen? I mean, I look 12, so it's. You know, when I walk around, it's just part of it. You know, I've Been young my whole life though. I started coaching at 17. So I'm very used to the fact, I mean, I get stopped trying to walk into the field before the, before the Peach ball. They're like, you need credentials, go back and get them. And I do it. You know, at the end of the day, people are doing their job so people don't really recognize me. I appreciate it. Hopefully I look young when I'm older. You know what I mean? People will be jealous, but right now it's just part of it.
- [44:47]
Dan Patrick
What do you expect to happen tonight between Texas and Ohio State?
- [44:52]
Adnan Virk
I haven't watched enough Ohio State to give like a really, really good opinion. I know Texas is going to be really good on defense. I know they're not going to give up big plays. So I think the key to Ohio State, I think the key to the game is how do you stop Ohio State and one of the best wide receivers in college football in a long time. And you can't just double team them because Ohio State's too good to do that. So what are you doing to get the quarterback to think he's double teamed? Move his eyes off of him, but him really be singled out. And I think that's one of the hidden things in the game is the deception of him being doubled. Can you do that enough to single him up and get your hats elsewhere for Texas? And if they can, you know, I think they're both really good football teams.
- [45:41]
Dan Patrick
By the way, when we had Cam on, he said he checked out of that, that halfback option that I think he said your quarterback said he was banged up, don't throw me the football. And so he changed the play. Did you know that?
- [45:56]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, I did. I saw it live and in person, baby. And on fourth and two in the fourth quarter. So that was exciting. But he's the same dude that punted for us last year and checked out of a punt versus USC and did this and signaled a wide out to run a slant and threw it to him for a first down. Same dude that caught a toss, scrambled backwards 97 yards, realized he was going to lose yards and threw the ball away. His football IQ and his savviness is unbelievable for his style of play.
- [46:30]
Dan Patrick
You strike me as a pregame speech guy.
- [46:33]
Adnan Virk
Really?
- [46:34]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [46:34]
Adnan Virk
I actually don't give pregame speeches. Our players give pregame speeches. This is a player run program. Our players give the pregame, our players make the decisions. I am literally a surrogate between the leadership council and the players. And my job is to help the leadership Council make the best decisions for the football team. But I do not run the show here. Our players run the show. I just help them get to the, get to the best decisions, in my opinion.
- [47:02]
Dan Patrick
Well, like, is there a cutoff point of what they're allowed to do and say, like, do they have total autonomy here?
- [47:12]
Adnan Virk
I mean, if they're going to do something that is bad, I'm going to say, no, we're not doing that, you know, but if I said, you guys think we should do this or this, and I give them options and they vote, I'm doing what they vote for. If they say, hey, we need a Monday off, we're tired, and I say, you guys know what the repercussions of this are, right? Means Tuesday has to be this high. You guys have to elevate Tuesday to another level. And they say, yes. I'm like, okay, Monday's off. I firmly believe in extreme ownership, especially in today's day and age. And to get a team buy in, you need team commitment, team ownership. And I think that was one thing. Our leadership council, the decisions they made and they could push the team to further my opinion further than we thought we could go or people thought we could go because there was such buy in because it was team decisions, not a head coach saying, we're going to go out and practice for 2 hours and 30 minutes today. In November, it was the leadership council saying, hey, we talked to coach. This is why we need to practice for two hours and 30 minutes today.
- [48:15]
Dan Patrick
Wait, when did you learn? How did you learn this?
- [48:18]
Adnan Virk
I just believe in trusting people. I mean, I leave. I mean, I shouldn't say this, but I leave my car unlocked like my wife hates it. I just believe in people. I truly believe that if you try to, if you give people the keys, if you truly empower people and if you get the right people around you and you trust them and you believe in them, right. And you empower them, they're gonna be better versions of themselves. And that empowerment is going to take you as a unit higher than you could ever go by me saying run 100 yards.
- [48:49]
Dan Patrick
Okay? If your car is gone by the end of the day, do not blame me.
- [48:54]
Adnan Virk
I'm going to lock it now. I'm going to have to change my entire theory on not locking my car now because I just exposed that.
- [49:02]
Dan Patrick
Congratulations on all this success.
- [49:06]
Adnan Virk
I appreciate it.
- [49:07]
Dan Patrick
Thank you, coach. Coach Kenny Dillingham, Arizona State, second season, and they were three and nine first season 11, three in season two. I could buy into that.

Adnan Virk
Some people just know they could save.
- [49:26]
Dan Patrick
Hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate First. Like, you know to check. You have the tickets in your wallet first before you drive two hours to the big game. Seriously, you had one job. Now the closest you'll get to the 50 yard line is parking lot D. Yeah, checking first is smart. So check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds.
