Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 2.733 Glenn

This was from the Combine yesterday. We start with Aaron Glenn.

Chapter 2: What insights does Glenn share about Woody Johnson's management style?

2.813 - 16.625 Glenn

So you have this narrative that's been out there that Woody Johnson is the one that I guess, hey, I'm paying you a lot of money. It didn't work last year with Steve Wilkes. You call the plays this year. Here was Glenn yesterday refuting that whole notion.

16.786 - 35.941 Aaron Glenn

Here's how Woody operates in this situation. I have an opportunity to go in and speak with him about my vision on how I see the coaching staff, my vision on how I see the team. And Woody's answer is always, what can I do to help you? What can I do to help you be successful? And I feel fortunate to be in a position to have an owner that operates that way.

36.723 - 42.96 Aaron Glenn

So I would really like that narrative to change, that he's trying to force me or Moose to do certain things.

0

43.1 - 64.845 Glenn

We believe this. I do, because other coaches have said the same thing. It's just when Woody loses his patience over something is when all hell breaks loose. So right now he's trying to be patient and trying to be supportive. I think that he was that way with Rob Sala. I think he was that way with Adam Gaze. I think he was that way with Todd Bowles. Okay, fair enough.

65.166 - 82.76 Glenn

I think he supported him, spent a lot of money, gave them everything that they wanted, and it didn't work out. And then the mob, the fan base. Well, the one thing I would like to know specifically is, was it not Woody Johnson who screwed up that whole Wink Martindale thing? Or was it Aaron Glenn who screwed the whole thing up?

82.78 - 103.23 Glenn

So here's Glenn on that, as a matter of fact, because I saw that as well. He was asked why... was Wink brought in and then all of a sudden it fell apart. He said the first round of interviews were just on Zoom to kind of get to know one another. When Wink came for the direct face-to-face interview, this is where the clip picks up.

103.53 - 124.891 Aaron Glenn

And when I brought Wink in and told him that, man, he would still go. But then again, as I thought about the whole situation, man, Brian Duke had been with me for three years. Man, he'd been through the fire with me to when, man, we were not a team that brought a lot of defensive guys early into Detroit. And he's been through the fire. He knows exactly how I want to operate.

124.911 - 143.111 Glenn

So it sounds like he changed his mind. Wink didn't change his. I mean, there's no reason to lie. I mean, unless something happened where financially the budget didn't allow for two main guys like Wink and Frank. That's the only thing that I can say. That's what was reported, though.

143.131 - 156.364 Glenn

Yeah, I mean, the budget is a certain amount that they put aside for coaches and front office staff and things of that nature. And to get guys with those types of reputations, you've got to pay them. And then those guys are going to want their guys paid.

Chapter 3: How does the budget impact NFL coaching decisions?

500.444 - 516.627 Glenn

Wanted to get him out of here. Yeah. I don't know. It was funny because I was watching, actually, the NBC halftime show, and Vince Carter and Carmelo Anthony are talking about Carl Anthony Towns, and Vince Carter's going, he only took four shots in the first half. Only four shots. He took one in the second half.

517.688 - 536.562 Glenn

And this is after the whole thing with Shaq where you think maybe more assertive, go in and yell, give me the ball. It's like what you brought up yesterday. But the other thing, there's Carmelo who would take 30 shots a game. True. You know, not trying to defend Carl Anthony Towns. And it's just... And I understand why. He's not going to kill a Knick. You know what I mean?

0

537.423 - 561.634 Glenn

Unless it's Jeremy Lin. Yeah, exactly. Cavaliers, Knicks both 37-22 on the season. Knicks will be in Milwaukee Friday night. Mavericks beat the Nets 123-114. Washington over Rutgers 79-72. You also had Notre Dame lose badly to Duke. Usually I wouldn't play this unless there's some historical relevance to it. So here's 30 seconds on ESPN. Notre Dame down 44 at home.

0

562.357 - 586.306 Unknown

This is on track, not that Michael Shrewsbury wants to see this, to be Notre Dame's largest home loss since the fourth game in Notre Dame men's basketball history against the Chicago First Regiment. 64-8 was the final score. Why are you getting so excited?

Chapter 4: What does Harbaugh look for in players at the Combine?

586.326 - 588.029 Unknown

1898.

0

588.049 - 608.817 Glenn

You hear that? You're 1898. Yeah, you know, there was a similar one to this, and it wasn't as long ago, 1898, when you guys were out, or at least Boomer was out. And do you remember CeeLo said that it was the biggest loss UCLA had had since they played 20th Century Fox?

0
0

609.657 - 622.926 Glenn

That's right. I forgot about that. They played 20th Century Fox and lost by like 30 points. Who was on 20th Century Fox? I forget. We'd have to go back and look at it.

0

622.946 - 623.588 Unknown

Marlon Brando.

623.608 - 643.242 Glenn

I don't know. Yeah, just insane some of the things we've heard. Jim Brown on that team? I don't know. I have to go back and look. Still pretty wild. Anyway, the final score was 44, was the margin of defeat as it turned out. 100-56 was the loss there. You've got St. John's and UConn playing tonight. The Red Storm have won 13 straight.

643.222 - 657.58 Glenn

All right, you had Team USA at the State of the Union address last night. We played earlier the president introducing the team. Here he was where he was starting to discuss an honor for Connor Hellebuck.

657.6 - 670.277 Unknown

We took a vote. of the team. I said, anybody votes no, I'm not doing it. So they stood there and they weren't about to say no because I've never seen a goaltender play as well as goalie Connor Halibut.

670.297 - 673.621 Glenn

So he's starting to get into what he's going to do for him. Then he's joking with him.
