Now let's get this party started.
Colin Cowherd
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Here we go on a suddenly shocking Thursday. Live in Los Angeles, it's the Herd. Wherever you may be and however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. J Mac News just came down from a very reliable reporter in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Clarence Hill. Had him on the show before, knows his stuff. You as a former hard working journalist, boots on the ground, know how hard it is to get scoops. Clarence Hill doesn't say stuff unless it's true. This is shocking. Here we go. The Cowboys look for them to cross the finish line and hire Brian Schottenheimer. Possibly today. That is settling. We are watching the fall of a great American institution. He's not even interviewing for other jobs. Nothing against him. Nice guy. Three jobs, five seasons. Never been a head coach. Never really been a top candidate for a head coach. But Jerry likes him. He's bounced around the league again. Dad was a legend. Nice guy. But 7 and 10 football teams don't move off a coach and then hire the offensive coordinator who didn't call plays. I've never even heard of that. I mean, in any industry, you do not let good people leave the building. Right? Like we all know. Like Liam Cohen is this kid at Tampa, the resurrection of Baker Mayfield. He went and interviewed for the Jacksonville job. He said no thank you. He was such a good candidate. The owner of Jacksonville fired the general manager who couldn't close the deal. He goes back to Tampa and they're going to make him the highest paid coordinator in the league offensively. Or Ben Johnson, who's going to show up 25 minutes on our show. He was like the leading candidate for four jobs. Brian Schottenheimer wasn't a candidate for any other job. I looked at his bio this morning. It's lateral moves. Entire career, college pro. What are we doing? Elite employees don't make lateral moves. Maybe at the end of their career, but not at the beginning and middle. I mean, watch Vegas react to this. So it just illustrates the directionless state of the Cowboys. Mike McCarthy, a Super Bowl Winning coach to Deion Sanders, a very promising college coach, to an offensive coordinator in the building for a 7 and 10 team that didn't call plays. What are we doing? Dallas Cowboy fans, I'm not overreacting here. You have become the Jaguars. You are lost at sea. Jaguars can't find a coach. None of the top candidates are interested. Cowboys now handing the keys to somebody who's not a candidate for anybody else. You know, it's funny. Troy Aikman had said a couple weeks ago, I don't think it's a coveted job. And he made a really interesting point last week on the fact that most coaches, you know, they want to bring in their people to build their culture. And can you do that in Dallas? As far as a coveted job, I don't know that that's accurate. I think most football people that take over as a head coach, they want to do it on their terms. That's hard to do. And it's, you know, if you take a Dan Campbell, for instance, is Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell, if he's with the Dallas Cowboys, it's hard to imagine that he is. It's hard to imagine that a lot of these coaches might be. No, Dan Campbell wouldn't have the power and the control of the locker room and probably a say upstairs in personnel. I mean, McVeigh. McVeigh's got power with the Rams. Shanahan does in San Francisco. Belichick did. Andy Reid doesn't want it, but could have it. You are watching. You are watching the fall of a great American brand, a sports brand. I said this. If it was not for LeBron James, this would have been the Lakers the last five years. Family members in the building. Too insular. Not enough outside voices. I mean, I said when the season started, I said, the Cowboys will not make the playoffs. Washington will, and they're going to start regressing. I didn't think it was this. And this is nothing against the coach, but this is somebody that's making lateral moves, is not up for other jobs. This is incredible. I mean, this morning when this came down, I'm speechless. I don't even know what to say with this. You are now the Cowboys as America's number one sports brand. You might as well just give that to the packers, give that to the Kansas City Chiefs. Hand it over. It's over. It's done. You're no longer America's team. I got. I watched. C.J. stroud. Are you Texas's team? I'm not sure. Wow. All right. It's gonna Take a while to digest. Ben Johnson bottom of the hour new Bears coach so I saw this. I want to talk about Jaden Daniels who is now playing for the right to go to the super bowl, which does not make any sense. But what makes even less sense is a statistic from this regular season this he has one elite weapon and a below average roster. Jaden Daniels in Washington had the highest fourth down conversion rate in the regular season ahead of Josh Allen who was second, Patrick Mahomes third and the Eagles who have Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, A.J. brown in the best offensive line in the game. That makes no sense. And I was thinking about this. If you go back 10 seasons, just a decade, the AFC had three icons, legends at quarterback, Brady, Peyton Manning and Big Ben. And you're thinking to yourself man, when these guys leave, how do you replace them? I mean the NBA has been searching for the next MJ for 20 years and yet here we are today in the AFC with Mahomes, Allen, Lamar Jackson and Burrow. Those are first ballot guys. Those are first ballot hall of Fame guys. I'm not even going to get to the second tier guys who are pretty good. You've got your Brady, your Manning, your Big Ben. They replaced him because college football, what they provide for the NFL is so much deeper and more talented than what college basketball provides to the NBA. But I was thinking the NFC has been different. If you go to the last 10 Super bowl teams in the NFC you have 10 different quarterbacks. It's a bunch of guys who you have to say well, well if. If Jordan Love wasn't as reckless or if Matt Stafford was younger and I like Jared Goff, if the O line's right and Brock Purdy needs the right coach in the afc, it's different. And I really believe that Jaden Daniels is the Mahomes of the nfc that the pecking order will start with him starting next year. I really believe that. I don't think it's a reach, I don't think it's hyperbolic. I think he's the Mahomes that from this point forward people will slot behind Now Caleb Williams with Ben Johnson maybe A1A he could get really close. But I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this this early. The fact of the matter that a rookie with a average old line that is now missing their best offensive lineman against Philly this weekend and one weapon, Terry McLaurin was the best fourth down team in football. Better than Lamar Jackson, better than Stafford, Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Kelsey is a remarkable feat. Yesterday, Tom Brady was on the show and, and, and I asked him, what do you see that is special?
Dallas Goddard
Some players need production to become confident. Some people become confident before they have any production. That's a great trait to have as an athlete.
Colin Cowherd
Before you walk on the field, you're confident.
Dallas Goddard
You don't need to complete your first five passes to become confident. And I think that's what I see.
Colin Cowherd
In a young Jaden Daniels. The AFC has been rock stars at quarterback, at the top. Um, the NFC has mostly been really good band members, and I think Jaden Daniels will change that. All right, we go back to the Dallas Cowboys, according to Clarence Hill, are hiring either today or tomorrow. Brian Schottenheimer. And I've said this for a long time, been doing this over 25 years. If you want to know if something is good for your franchise, ask yourself, what are your rivals saying? What do you think Philadelphia is saying today about Brian Schottenheimer as a new coach? From McCarthy to maybe Dion to the coordinator who didn't call place. I don't want to attack him. It's just the bios out there. This, this just. He was not interviewing for other jobs. I mean, we all knew Harbaugh last year, top candidate Vrabel this year, top candidate Ben Johnson. He's the new whiz kid. He's the new demico Ryan's that everybody's talking about. Liam Cohen was on that space. Wow, J. Mac. What do you make of it? Let me. Let me just ask you, what do you make of it?
Joy Taylor
So it smells like 5 and 12 next year for Dallas, basically, right?
Colin Cowherd
I don't.
Joy Taylor
I don't know what Schottenheimer did this year if he didn't call plays. The offense wasn't dynamic. The defense kept them in games. After Dak went down, I saw nothing from this Cowboys offense. And now you're gonna kind of promote him to head coach. It's a tough day. We gotta get Michael Irvin on the horn. He was all excited for Dion. Remember, he's like, oh, Dion, maybe.
Colin Cowherd
Well, I'll say this.
Joy Taylor
This is.
Colin Cowherd
I didn't know how Deion would do, and we don't really know how. A lot of people are going to do not name Vrabel or Harbaugh. I mean, Mike McCarthy would win somewhere. McCarthy maybe. Maybe he ends up in Jacksonville. That's great for Trevor Lawrence, actually. But my take is Deion was exciting, right? Like it or not. I mean, in Chicago, they're doing backflips for Ben Johnson. They're going crazy in Chicago and they should. It's exciting. You watch the Lions and all the trick plays and the clever stuff. Deion was exciting. There was hope and optimism. This feels like settling.
Joy Taylor
Yeah. The only good news for Dallas is, you know, Nick Sirianni still in the division. They're not firing him. Even if they lose this game, I think there's still some question about what's going on with Dable and the Giants. We don't know if they're going to be good. Washington, Tom and yeah, Washington is.
Colin Cowherd
And Jaden is with.
Joy Taylor
Who are they humming with, by the way? Oh, Dan Quinn is their head coach.
Colin Cowherd
Where was he last year in the building?
Joy Taylor
Oh, he was at Dallas. I totally forgot about that.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, it's wow. This is the Empire does not strike back. It folds.

You're now entering the no Bull zone, sponsored by credible Great rates Known to the bull. Ben Johnson, Bears new coach I just saw the second youngest active head coach in the NFL. Only Mike McDonald will be younger. You're seeing this all over the place. You're seeing it in college, you're seeing it in pro. Young people are crushing. You know, it's funny, we're seeing more great young candidates. And I say this, be careful about pushing the Pete Carrolls out the door. You look at the last six Super Bowls, five have been won by Andy Reid, Bruce Arians and Bill Belichick. I've always said this. I like my pilots and my surgeons to have gray hair. But I do think what you're finding now, and I find this with my kids. My kids are a lot smarter than I was at this at their age. And I do think you get Sean McVeighs and Mike McDaniel and Ben Johnson. And I don't know if it's the Internet, I don't know if it's analytics, but they're sharp and they know a lot at a very early age. It's very exciting. I, I know I spent a lot of time in Chicago, and I'll tell you, they're going, they're going crazy. This is the coach that the Chicago fans wanted, and he'll be joining us in a couple of minutes. I, you know, it's interesting. Caleb Williams is a guy that can leave the pocket and he's electric. And it's interesting. Mahomes does the same thing. And Brady came on our show yesterday, Tom Brady, and talked about what these mobile quarterbacks are doing, and they're sort of, are they playing football or are they playing the rule book? When quarterbacks become running backs and they're out of the pocket, they should lose their protection.
Dallas Goddard
And we are, in essence, we're trying to say we're trying to protect the quarterbacks, but coaches are calling more quarterback runs than ever in the history of the game.
Colin Cowherd
If you're running with the ball, you should protect yourself. If you don't want to get hit.
Dallas Goddard
You can go down, you can run out of bounds, but you can't, in essence, have the defensive player come in at half speed. And then you run over the defensive player because he's afraid of getting a penalty.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah. And so it's a little bit of an NBA ish problem where you have something and the fans don't like it. And it does feel like manipulation. And, you know, the Mahomes is, we'll get the scramble yards and the first down, and they'll slide late, and then they'll get the penalty. And it's like, wait, this doesn't feel fair for the defensive player. So I think you have to do what baseball did. Baseball had a time problem, and these guys would get into the batter's box and they would preen and they would have these quirky sort of habits. And Major League Baseball said, yeah, that's going to end today. No more of that now. And it ended in a week. They complained, ended in a week. I think you have to eliminate. I think once a quarterback leaves the pocket and you just tell everybody you're a running back, it'll end really quickly. It just does not take that many hits from Will Anderson. Michael Vic once told me, as it was an Atlanta Falcon, he said, you know, I went on the road and I got hit by, I think, like, London Fletcher. And he's like, yeah, I'm kind of done doing that running thing. I'm gonna stay in the pocket more. And, you know, listen, there are guys like Big Ben in his prime or Josh Allen in his prime. They're just bigger than defensive players. But I would say Big Ben aged really quickly at the end, and Cam Newton aged really, really quickly in the middle of his career, and they took too many hits. I think Josh Allen, I think the Buffalo Bills have been very smart to kind of take away the Superman cape from Josh Allen outside the pocket. They've done a really good job as an organization because it's hard to ask Lama, Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen, say, hey, no more running for first downs. If your first two guys are covered and you've been successful your whole life, running, they're going to run. Mahomes is interesting. He doesn't run in the first half, in my opinion, as much as he seems to do in big games in the second half. So it's more of a necessity. But there is a sense that he's sort of manipulating the rules. And I thought baseball, you know, all I heard before baseball put in that pitch clock. Oh, oh, baseball union people gonna complain. Baseball said, yeah, get over it. And in a week, baseball was more fun to watch and faster. So I just think you have to just say, you leave the pocket, you're a running back. Here's the line of scrimmage. Now you're Saquon Barkley, and you give. Because I. I agree with Brady here. The quarterbacks are getting everything. They're getting the scramble yards. They get a slide and sometimes then without even a helmet to helmet, they get a penalty yards. Well, I would do it, too. I would manipulate it. So, I mean, we all know when we get on the freeway, we can drive seven miles an hour faster than the speed limit. There's manipulation of all laws and rules to a degree, and we know that in the NFL as well. Bill Belichick for years had his cornerbacks wear gloves that were the same color as the opponent so they could grab and clutch more. But this feels. Because it's the quarterback, it's the star, it's the most important position that it feels like a little bit of manipulation toward the rules. So, you know, that's where we're at. J. Mack with the news. No, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the Herd line news.
Joy Taylor
All right, Col, let's start with Peyton Manning. Remember how legendary he was as a quarterback? Well, he had playoff struggles similar to Lamar Jackson early in their career. And another quarterback who has yet to make a Super bowl is Josh Allen. And with the MVP candidate just a game away from the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning has given him some advice saying, josh is doing all the right things. I think he's truly having fun. So I'd say relax and let it come to him. Don't make that press and stress and force balls into coverage. Let it come to him.
Colin Cowherd
I never feel that he's anxious. I have felt it and seen it with Peyton Manning and Lamar Jackson early in their careers. I've never seen it with Josh. I've never felt he's nervous or anxious. I felt he's so gifted, he tries to extend a play he shouldn't, like Mahomes. I've never sensed nerves. Jalen Hurts. I don't sense nerves. Joe Burrow. I don't. It's more erratic. It's more like, listen, I've run over guys my whole life. I'm going to try it. A couple years ago, he had a red zone interception issue. I never feel its nerves ever with Josh Allen.
Joy Taylor
Look at these stats. This is a little. Listen again, it's just early in their career, first 12 playoff starts, Josh Allen has been better than pate. Oh, by far, a considerable amount.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah. I never feel its nerves with him. And by the way, everybody's different. Some I never felt nerves with Tiger or Phil Mickelson. Mickelson just took too many risks. I felt nerves with other golfers.
Joy Taylor
The weird part is I don't know that the Chiefs are going to be able to stop Josh Allen. And the Bill could still lose because that defense, Colin, I mean, you just watch a raven slice and dice them.
Colin Cowherd
Up and I think we forget how good the Chiefs are. At the top of the hour and 35 minutes, I'm going to take both the Bills and the Chiefs rosters. You know what I do before the top 10 players. Yeah. So I take before the huge games like the NBA Finals, I'm going to take the top 10 players of the Eagles commanders. It's pretty predictable. And the Bills and Chiefs, huh? And I think you'll be surprised by the Bills, Chiefs. I just think you'll be surprised. I think we look at Buffalo as an assortment of great players and I'm just very interested to see your reaction in 35 minutes.
Dallas Goddard
Okay.
Joy Taylor
Next up is over to the NFC where the Commanders are the surprise entrant in the NFC championship game. Just one win away from the super bowl with a rookie quarterback. Early in the season, Washington lost to Tampa and Dan Quinn said that loss in the season opener helped fuel their run.
Dallas Goddard
That happened in the opening game. I felt dismissive. Hey man, hang in there. It's going to be a long time. I was like, hey, f you. You know, like that's not how it's going to go down. And I was upset. But it wasn't disrespect. It was dismissiveness. It's not a prove it to everybody else or underdog stories. You know, it's how we get down.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah. I. I'll say this again. We are really lucky in the media and as football fans in America to have Jaden Daniels. We have. We may be found our next Steve Young, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes. I. I know it sounds hyperbolic, but I know my eyes. My eyes are telling me this kid is just different.
Joy Taylor
So, you know, we talked in. Quinn was with the Cowboys for a few years and he got desperately wanted to be a head coach again.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah.
Joy Taylor
And remember he was interviewing a bunch of places and he didn't end up taking anything. Ultimately, he settles on the commanders after Ben Johnson said no to them. And they land Jaden Daniels. And now Dan Quinn looks like he could be on a trajectory to be back to being a great coach.
Colin Cowherd
A lot of it. Life is so. Life is timing. Life is timing. You know what? Dan Quinn was going to succeed somewhere. He's too good of a coach.
Narrator
Yeah.
Joy Taylor
Like if he had gone to Jacksonville on the unemployment line. If he had gone to Chicago.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah.
Joy Taylor
Probably same situation now. But Lance and watched an amazing final story. Colin, is this is a little speculative? The Titans have the number one pick in the draft in April, and everybody's pegging them for a quarterback. I had Cam Ward in my mock draft.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah.
Joy Taylor
Adam Schefter said on a radio show. Adam Chapter of espn that the Titans are looking at Penn State's Abdul Carter, the pass rusher, or Colorado's Travis Hunter. On top of that, Schefter added, the Titans aren't locked in on taking a quarterback. This is kind of sort of stunning. I don't know if this is just, you know, saying stuff or planting stuff.
Colin Cowherd
I'm gonna tell you my strong opinion. The best football player I saw in college football this year was either Abdul Carter or the receiver from Arizona. Those are the two best football players. This is a great running back draft. I'm just telling you. Abdul Carter and the receiver for Arizona are the two best players. I talked to two GMs. I think Mason Graham is very good at Michigan, but he's not that good. J. Mac with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by the Herd line. Right. Ben Johnson's been waiting patiently. All my friends in Chicago are freaking out. They got their guy. Ben Johnson's new coach of the Chicago Bears. And this is what the city wanted. This is what the team wanted. They interviewed 17 people. But you were the hot candidate this year, you know, and it's interesting, Sean McVeigh, because now you're the second youngest coach in the league. So when McVeigh arrived, we didn't know who he was. We knew all about you. We saw your playbook the last three years before we talk about the Bears. What you did is remarkable. What Detroit did is unbelievable. My. I've been. I'm. I got gray hair. I'm 60. I haven't seen Detroit win my entire life. What is the one thing in Detroit, because this is a little bit of a rebuild, too, that you're going to take from the Lions, and you have no problem saying that was really effective. I'm taking this to Chicago culture, coaching, whatever.
Dallas Goddard
Yeah, listen, I learned so much with my time with Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes and those guys. And ultimately it came down to the identity that they established in Detroit was all about grit, being able to handle adversity and fighting through the tough times. And that's what that started with year one, and you saw it come to fruition again this year with all the injuries that that team faced and being able to still fight through it and come away with 15 wins, a division title, and the number one seed. So end of the day, this league, it's Going to knock you down and you got to get back up that mindset and mentality. It'll carry over here to Chicago. It's not going to be said exactly the same way. I'm not Dan Campbell. It's going to be my own spin on it. But really that identity, those terms will still apply here as well.
Colin Cowherd
So Jared Goff is more of a pocket quarterback. Caleb can do anything pocket outside. So, you know, I'm. You've got 200 plays, 300 plays at your disposal. There are some things you'll take from Detroit. You're obviously smart and clever and you're. You're not adverse to risk. But does it feel a little bit as a consumer of your offense, is it a new offense or do you take bits and pieces of it because you have a different person playing the position and a different skill set?
Dallas Goddard
It remains to be seen. I don't know Caleb like that quite yet, but I'm really encouraged with what I've seen on tape from him so far from this season. On the opposing sideline. I certainly felt his presence out there. He's got an abundance of talent. I can't wait to get to work with him. But obviously he is a different player and has a different skill set than Jared did. And I'll be excited to see what direction we go. It's going to morph. It's not going to look the same as what it did in Detroit. There are a lot of elements that I do believe in. We want the same things look different. Different things look the same multiplicity. We want the defense on their heels and guessing at all times. But at the end of the day, Caleb's going to really dictate the direction that this offense goes and what we end up looking like.
Colin Cowherd
Ben, it took years for the Lions to build the best offensive line in football. It was through the draft. And listen, I've always had a theory in the NFL. Number one quarterback. Number two, protect him. Worry about the weapons and stuff later. You got to protect them. It's the insurance policy. Colts couldn't do that with Andrew Lucky retired early. The O line last year regressed for Chicago. How do you make an O line? It's possible. Significantly better. Is it play calling? Changing protections? Is it the draft? Is it free agency? Because that's pretty obvious. The O line has to get better quickly. How do you do that?
Dallas Goddard
There's no doubt it's all the above. It's everything you just said. Listen, we'll be in the player acquisition phase here soon. Whether it's free agents, draft picks. We'll look to improve the talent level. Within that room, we're going to find an excellent offensive line coach that will coach these guys up with the vision that we have in mind here for the offense. And listen, we're going to set a high bar and a high standard and frankly, we're expecting to come through for us at the end of the day. Play calling, yeah, it's going to. It's going to say. It's going to have a say in what this looks like here in the fall. But end of the day, we're going to take all avenues that we possibly can to get this offensive line going to help Caleb to help the run game. And that's what we need in this division, particularly. We play outdoors. We need to be able to run the ball in January and December.
Colin Cowherd
Some coaches want a say in personnel. McVay likes to have a little bit of a say. Shanahan, there are other guys. Andy Reid kind of lets Brett Veets do it. Do you like. I mean, some coaches are. Jimmie Johnson was unbelievable at it. He could have been a gm. Parcell similarly, very strong. Sean Payton. Are you a personnel guy, too, or is that, hey, you give me the players, I'll figure out the football. How much sand personnel do you like?
Dallas Goddard
Man, I tell you what, that's what appealed to me so much about this job, was the trust I have in Ryan. He's brought in a ton of talented players already. This roster is just overflowing on offense and defense with some great players, great character built in. I really love that about it as well. And so I'm excited to get to work with him. I wouldn't say I'm one way or the other. I just. I really believe that we're going to be aligned and we'll, as a coaching staff, give Ryan a great vision of what we're looking for at each position and what we want for a Chicago Bear to be moving forward. And listen, I'm just excited to be able to work with him every step of the way here.
Colin Cowherd
Who's your coaching mentor? Who is it?
Dallas Goddard
There's a billion of them. I've had so many. Mike Sherman, early in my career really showed me the ways of the NFL. Dan Campbell, I would say, is not just a friend, but he has been a great mentor, but in a different way. I've had a number of great influences from a leadership perspective, but also schematic as well. So I can't put my finger on just one man. It's. It's Been a number of guys, and it's really. It's really been a compilation of everything that I've experienced so far in my career.
Colin Cowherd
You are up for, like, every job. Your name was mentioned. Every single one. Why the Bears.
Dallas Goddard
This place special? I felt that on the interview. I felt that with the people on there. George McCaskey, Kevin Warren, Ryan Poles, the rest of the search committee, I felt really confident in their vision and their direction for the. For the franchise going forward. It was something I wanted to be a part of. I've spent time in Chicago. I know what a great sports town this is. I want desperately to be successful here in football so that they can thrive and they have a team that they're proud of going to the games, too. So that. That played a huge factor of it. It was the people. It was the place. And as I said before, as a competitor. As a competitor, I love this division. There's so many good teams and good coaches and good players in this division. Honestly, as a competitor, I did not want to leave it. This is what I want to go against.
Colin Cowherd
You know, when you have somebody that can do so many things off script, and most offensive coaches come in 10, 12 plays, let's get the ball rolling. Let's take a lead. Let's see. Let's ca. Catch them. Element of surprise. And. And that's, you know, what almost all you guys do. I'd watch Detroit games. I could tell within 12 plays what you saw as a weakness, what you saw as a strength. And then you have Caleb, who can do so much off script. What is the line when you're an offensive coach from here's the script and why don't you. I'm gonna let you make a decision on this. Is. Is there a line in that communication with Caleb is, hey, this is going to be your discretion on some of these plays.
Dallas Goddard
Yeah, listen, there's going to be a balancing factor that we got to work through. Part of his superpower coming out of usc, though, was his ability to create and extend plays, and we don't want to take that away from him. So it'll be clear what the structure is of the passing game, what the progressions are, and ultimately, if the guys aren't open, 1, 2, 3, and the pockets breaking down, we're going to encourage him to extend the play and go ahead and use that superpower and create explosive plays that way. Haven't. Haven't necessarily been a part of that in my past, so I'm really excited to see what that looks like and how that all comes together for us here.
Colin Cowherd
Ben Johnson, by the way, the Lions led the NFL in play action. Bears weren't near the bottom. So as you talked about the O line, in a run game in cold weather is essential. Matt LaFleur's always understood that in Green Bay, you're outside, it's cold. Green Bay went out and got an expensive, great running back and they became a power football team. And I agree with you, the weather, I mean Baltimore, by the way, Buffalo with James Cook, these cold weather team, Seattle and Marshawn lynch. Where I grew up, it's not just a myth. Cold weather teams run the ball. I mean, it's funny. Kansas City got rid of the great Tyreek Hill. They've won back to back. And it's like, how is that possible? So when I listen to you, the one thing I think you're going to take from Detroit listening to you is you're going to run the ball. This can't just be quarterback centric.
Dallas Goddard
Listen, the number one deciding factor of winning and losing games right now is quarterback success and quarterback efficiency. But the best way you can help that for a young player especially, is to have a great running game. And so listen, that's something that we are going to hang our hat on. We'll see how well we improve up front. I like the backs that we already have on the roster and we can certainly look to augment that position group as well. But it's going to start there and it's going to take everybody, not just those two. We need great tight ends, blocking. We need our perimeter players willing to block down the field so that we can spring long runs. And that's something that we've been able to encourage and get done in my past. So I'm looking forward to bringing that here to Chicago as well.
Colin Cowherd
Ben Johnson, new Bears coach People are happy in a great American city. Ben, thanks for stopping by the Herd. I appreciate it.
Dallas Goddard
Thank you, Colin.
Colin Cowherd
All right, so there you go. Yeah, I mean, if you really look, we talk about this all the time. Go look at what Baltimore does. Let's go get Derrick Henry. And you look at Buffalo, they've gotten better since they had James Cook. And Matt Leflore is like, oh, let's go get Josh Jacobs. Ooh, that's a. That's a very expensive running back when you're playing outdoors. The best Seattle teams, you had Russell Wilson running around and Marshawn lynch in the backfield. It's just, I mean, John Elway, as great as he was, he gets real cold Thanksgiving on in Denver, Elway's best teams. Terrell Davis not throwing the ball down the field. So good stuff. We take a break. Greg Cosell is stopping by today. Greg Cosell, top of the hour on Thursday. Yesterday, I can admit I did not know it was Wednesday until after the show.

You know, I've said this. Football players in America, from high school on, they get hurt, they get coached hard, they get criticized by the media. Our basketball culture in America, to me, is sort of broken. Europe does a better job. Our basketball culture is get them paid kind of coddling aau, maybe a year of college, you could sign a second NBA contract by the time you're 22 years old. And so I think older NBA players can struggle with the reality of who they are. An old baseball player or an old football player, they often just retire and they still have some game left, but they come to terms with who they are. At this age in basketball, it's very hard. Remember when Carmelo Anthony went to Oklahoma City and he was at that point like he was aging and a defensive liability and couldn't hit threes? And you remember this press conference. How do you feel about, you know.
Narrator
Starting at the four or the concept of starting at the four or even coming off the bench? And the second question is, for me.
Colin Cowherd
I guess that answers that part. I mean, I don't know where that.
Narrator
Started, where that came from.
Colin Cowherd
Hey, Pete, they said I gotta come off the bench. Yeah, it wasn't long after that he came off the bench. Jimmy Butler is acting and behaving badly because he wants a new deal in Miami. And Jimmy Butler has made the All Stars twice in seven seasons, and that's in the weaker conference. And he's been hurt a lot, and he's been a great player, but he's not getting a new deal. And that's just the way it is. No titles, no MVPs. Year 14, lot of injuries, and I like him. Now, not all old players age the same. Steph Curry would have a vibrant market. LeBron James would have a couple of teams. But now you're getting Jimmy being a bit of a locker room problem on top of this. And I just, I, in my lifetime, I have seen this. The Heat had to suspend Jimmy Butler for two days, two games because of what's happening here. And I, and I, and I look at older NBA players. I mean, I could go, I'm not picking on Mello. It's just that sound Bite was really ironic because it wasn't long after that he was a bench player. Like, he didn't hit threes, he wouldn't defend, he didn't elevate others. He was just gifted offensively. And I think sometimes one of the great things like hard parenting creates an armor on your kids. They're, they're more resilient. And the NBA basketball culture and the AAU culture is just, it's a, hey, let's get the guy paid. Let's not take the player off. Even the NBA media tends to feel like they're sort of protecting the players. NFL media is brutal on players, but the difference is you have a greater self awareness or understanding of sort of what you are as your age. And I like Jimmy Butler, but I think unless there's a really bad GM out there, he's not getting another huge contract, injuries, the league's getting younger, it's getting bigger. It's just the reality of his career. I saw this story, I said this yesterday. And at the top of the hour, Greg Cosell stops by. It's going to be a really good segment. I'm also going to take the Washington Philadelphia game and give you, in order, in my opinion, the top best players. Chiefs, Bill, same thing. And I, I've, through the years I've done that because it gives me, in a World Series, I'll do that. In the Super Bowl, I'll do that. That in the NBA Finals, I will do that. Gives me some sense of, you know, let's just put it down on paper. I heard a psychologist the other day saying, if you want things to happen in your life, I've been doing this for years. I had no idea it worked, but I just did it for me because this is, I'm old school. I write down things I want to accomplish and I say them out loud. And I tell my kids to do this all the time. Go home, yellow pad, write it down, say it over and over, kind of manifest it in your head. Stuff tends to work out when you can see it, when you can speak it, when you can visualize it. And I was watching a psychologist about this. And the point being is you can speak things to some degree into truth. And I'm looking at this story that Aaron Glenn, they're saying, what is Aaron Glenn, the new jets coach? What's it mean for Aaron Rodgers and the New York jets need to take a piece of paper and write it down that the things that really matter for the next three years, and Aaron's not one of them. Okay, he's like the 15th best quarterback in the league. It is augmenting your O line. Garrett Wilson, start making him happy. Find the quarterback of the future. This is not a shot at Aaron Rodgers, but it's the same thing with the Atlanta Falcons coming into this year. Whether or not Kirk Cousins would have ended the season strongly or not. If you write down three or four or five or six things for the Atlanta Falcons, Pennocks and protecting him and elevating him is number one, not the older quarterback. So the jets have a really good roster. The jets have to get some continuity and scouting and general managing. But this idea now for the last several years, on that yellow sheet of paper, they put Aaron number one. Is Aaron happy? Let's get Aaron what he wants. Let's get him a receiver. The position of quarterback is important to the Jets. The player isn't. And you just got to get over it. Not only is Aaron not Mahomes, he's not Justin Herbert, he's not C.J. shroud. At this point, he's not as valuable as Baker Mayfield is to Tampa. So get that yellow sheet out in New York. Aaron can't be in your top five. And that's not a shot. That's the reality. Kirk Cousins can't be in your top five in Atlanta. I don't care that Aaron played better down the stretch than, than Kirk because Kirk played better early than Aaron. It doesn't matter. Manifest it that New York has spent two years putting Aaron on the top of that yellow piece of paper. Is Aaron happy? What about this coach? What about this player? What about this acquisition? Those days are over. So it doesn't matter what Aaron Glenn thinks. What matters is how Aaron Glenn is going to create some chemistry and cohesion in the locker room because it felt splintered last year that we can't then. All right, top of the hour. Greg Cosell, the, the, the story that broke at the top of the hour and it's just jaw dropping to me. Clarence Hill is reporting. A very legitimate reporter. Been doing this for 20 plus years. They're going to hire Brian Schottenheimer as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. He was not interviewing as a head coach for other jobs. He has had several lateral moves. Five years, three jobs. They like him in the building. That I understand. But he didn't call plays last year. Not sure how much he can be connected or credited for their, their offense. I. You know what? Maybe this is one of the reasons Mike McCarthy left. He felt the heat from the Jones family and their affection for Brian Schottenheimer. But we've gone from Mike McCarthy to Deion Sanders to Brian Schottenheimer in the course of a week, and that's not the right direction. From a Super bowl trophy to a promising young former superstar player to a guy that's had three jobs, five years, it feels like the fall of an American institution, the Dallas Cowboys.

Summary of "Hour 1 - The Cowboys Have Fallen" Episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd
Release Date: January 23, 2025
In this compelling episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, host Colin Cowherd delves deep into the tumultuous state of the Dallas Cowboys, explores the rise of emerging quarterbacks in the NFL, and features an insightful conversation with Dallas Goddard, the newly appointed head coach of the Chicago Bears. The episode is structured around critical analysis, expert opinions, and strategic discussions, providing listeners with a thorough understanding of the current sports landscape.
The episode opens with Colin Cowherd expressing his shock and disappointment over the Dallas Cowboys' recent decision to potentially hire Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach. Cowherd critiques the move as "settling" for a coach who, despite Jerry Jones' affection, lacks the credentials typically sought after for a storied franchise like the Cowboys.
Colin Cowherd [02:56]: "The Cowboys look for them to cross the finish line and hire Brian Schottenheimer. Possibly today. That is settling."
Cowherd further argues that promoting a coach who hasn't been a top candidate elsewhere reflects poorly on the organization's direction, likening it to the Jaguars' struggles.
Colin Cowherd [03:00]: "You are watching the fall of a great American institution. From a Super Bowl trophy to a promising young former superstar player to a guy that's had three jobs, five years, it feels like the fall of an American institution, the Dallas Cowboys."
Joy Taylor, co-host, echoes these sentiments, questioning the effectiveness of Schottenheimer given the Cowboys' offensive struggles.
Joy Taylor [12:31]: "It smells like 5 and 12 next year for Dallas, basically, right?"
A significant portion of the discussion centers on Jaden Daniels, a rookie quarterback for the Washington Commanders, who has showcased exceptional performance despite a below-average roster. Cowherd highlights Daniels' impressive fourth-down conversion rates, positioning him alongside NFL stars like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.
Colin Cowherd [11:24]: "I really believe that Jaden Daniels is the Mahomes of the NFC... he will slot behind."
The conversation contrasts the stability of the AFC quarterback landscape, dominated by first-ballot Hall of Famers, with the NFC's volatility, suggesting that young talents like Daniels could redefine the conference's future.
The episode features an in-depth interview with Dallas Goddard, the Chicago Bears' new head coach. Goddard discusses his coaching philosophy, emphasizing grit, resilience, and adaptability—qualities he honed during his time with coaches like Dan Campbell.
Dallas Goddard [25:29]: "The identity that they established in Detroit was all about grit, being able to handle adversity and fighting through the tough times."
Goddard elaborates on his strategic plans to enhance the Bears' offensive line, crucial for supporting quarterback Caleb Daniels' dynamic playing style.
Dallas Goddard [31:08]: "The number one deciding factor of winning and losing games right now is quarterback success and quarterback efficiency. But the best way you can help that for a young player especially, is to have a great running game."
He also touches upon personnel decisions and the integration of a balanced offensive strategy to complement Daniels' strengths.
Dallas Goddard [33:42]: "I'm excited to get to work with [GM Ryan Poles] every step of the way here."
The discussion transitions to broader NFL strategies, particularly the importance of a robust offensive line in cold-weather teams. Cowherd draws parallels between successful teams like the Green Bay Packers and the Bears, emphasizing the necessity of strong run games to support versatile quarterbacks.
Colin Cowherd [37:26]: "The best running back draft. I'm just telling you. Abdul Carter and the receiver for Arizona are the two best players."
Goddard responds by outlining the Bears' multifaceted approach to improving their offensive line through player acquisitions, play-calling adjustments, and coaching enhancements.
Dallas Goddard [32:36]: "We're going to take all avenues that we possibly can to get this offensive line going to help Caleb to help the run game."
Cowherd underscores the critical role of protecting the quarterback and enhancing the offensive line to ensure sustained success.
Colin Cowherd [31:44]: "It's the insurance policy. Colts couldn't do that with Andrew Luck retiring early."
As the episode wraps up, Cowherd reflects on the evolving landscape of NFL coaching, highlighting the rise of younger, analytically adept coaches like Ben Johnson and Sean McVeigh. He emphasizes the importance of strategic adaptability and the integration of modern analytics in coaching methodologies.
Colin Cowherd [38:12]: "Ben Johnson, new Bears coach. People are happy in a great American city."
The conversation concludes with a reaffirmation of the Bears' potential under Goddard's leadership and a cautious optimism about the Cowboys' future trajectory under their new head coach.
Colin Cowherd [02:56]: "The Cowboys look for them to cross the finish line and hire Brian Schottenheimer. Possibly today. That is settling."
Joy Taylor [12:31]: "It smells like 5 and 12 next year for Dallas, basically, right?"
Colin Cowherd [11:24]: "I really believe that Jaden Daniels is the Mahomes of the NFC... he will slot behind."
Dallas Goddard [25:29]: "The identity that they established in Detroit was all about grit, being able to handle adversity and fighting through the tough times."
Dallas Goddard [33:42]: "I'm excited to get to work with [GM Ryan Poles] every step of the way here."
