Mike Ryan

That was surprising, no doubt. That shocked all of us. I had to do a lot of media about that, obviously. No one saw that coming, but college football is shifting more to pro football, and he's going to get a good salary, and I'm sure his son's going to be on staff for the future there. So I think he has some things that he wants, and he has the power that he wants to have, and he earned that.

But, you know, college football is nothing but glorified pro sports. It always has been. Guys weren't getting $8 million playing, I'll tell you that. So guys are getting a lot of money. Coaches are getting a lot of money. So it seemed like a pretty good situation for him.

But I think it's like... You know, what does he want, though? In terms of power? Does he want to go to Jacksonville? Okay. Right? So maybe does he want to go to New Orleans? Maybe the Saints want him right now, but does he want to go there? Sure. So I think maybe the team or the fits that he wanted to go to aren't available.

So he's not going to go. I don't think he's a guy who's going to coach in a situation that he doesn't like.

Right? I think he understands how important it is to have the pieces in play, whatever they are. So I don't think it's so much the NFL didn't want him at all. Maybe last year that was the case.

But this year I felt like he was a little bit more selective.

Very little was said. I remember Brady slammed his helmet because he just threw that pick six, and he was kind of, like, pissed. Yeah. And I remember we're sitting there. It's very long now because it's a halftime show. Right. Right, so it's an extremely longer halftime than normal.

And I remember my buddy, Rutgers guy Deron Harmon, is on a bike because you kind of get your adjustments, and you're like, all right, we're going to go adjustments or whatever. And I'll give you some insider here. Okay. Dan Quinn and the Atlanta Falcons, they're a big zone team, right? They play zone defense a lot because he was with Seattle. So we played the previous Super Bowl against Seattle.

So we were anticipating all Seattle's defensive plays. And they come out an all-man-to-man. So I know Josh McDaniels then came in like, oh, we got to go to our man beaters. So they're talking about a lot more X's and O's than motivation. But I remember Deron Harmon, my boy, is like, this is going to be the greatest comeback of all time. And we're like, I'm just trying not to get blown out, bro.

You know? And then someone else was like, yeah. And then it was like, yeah, yeah. And I was like, yeah. So it's like, you know when someone starts with a slow clap and goes like this? And I heard it, and I was like, all right, bro, chill. We're bad a lot. But then I was like, yo, yo, it will be. Like, yo, it will be. All right, let's go. All right, all right, all right.
