What are Brad Williams' thoughts on the Denver Broncos and Jared Stidham?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
We were still alive on the final drive. The hurricanes had managed to survive. Then in our own stadium, we just fell flat. Still, it can't be denied that the U is back. Oh, It's a bitch that we lost, but the U's still back. Can't be argued, it's a matter of fact. You can bitch all you want, we're still better than you. And everyone but the Hoosiers from IU.
Come on, Carson.
Going deep. Here we go!
These guys won 13 games this year.
The U, the U, the U's still back.
How did the Miami Hurricanes perform in their recent game?
Got to the playoffs for the first time in Miami history.
Won the Cotton Bowl. Won the Fiesta Bowl.
They're the best thing that's happened to Miami in over two decades.
Mike, you should know that I would have won back in just a few minutes all of those UM fans because the rant was going to make its return, and it was written, and it was going to slay, and now it is dead, never to be seen because an interception got thrown at the end. Brad Williams is going to be here in a second, and I wanted to wonder with Greg Cody because I think I can say this since football became popular. I don't believe there has ever been a Miami Dolphin head coaching hire with less fanfare than what it is that I saw yesterday because of the timing of it. You're talking about the biggest football game in 20, 25 years played in Miami, and the Dolphins are announcing their head coach then.
I don't think that it matters, but it is weird that you usually want the hope of, and now we got the new answer, and it just was buried yesterday.
Yeah, it wasn't voluntary. The Dolphins didn't want it that way. I was speaking with a Dolphin official in the press box last night. And what happened was, first of all, they had to fulfill the Rooney rule. They had to interview two minority candidates. Had they done that?
What was the significance of the Miami Dolphins' head coaching announcement?
They hadn't done it until the last one was at like 4 p.m. yesterday. OK, so they were late doing that. And before they did that, they couldn't hire anyone else. The Halfley news came out like right after that. Yes, exactly. And what else happened was somebody, I'm told, somebody who didn't get the job leaked the news that it seemed like Halfley was going to get the job. OK, so when it was then leaked to the media, then all the, you know, Schefter and all these reports come out. And then the Dolphins, they have no choice but to confirm it at 8, 12 p.m. Like in the middle of the first quarter, they're confirming. So it was a weird circumstance that forced their hand less. Oh, I didn't even...
I didn't even see that the Dolphins actually confirmed it, which would make sense because, you know, I was watching the football game.
Yeah, so were most people. It did not work out the way they wanted.
Why is the recent loss for Miami sports fans particularly heartbreaking?
Believe me, they would have liked to have announced it and introduced him later in the week, for sure. It kind of came off like a fart, right?
Because my wife got the alert on ESPN, and she's like, Dolphins hire... Jeff Howell is he? And I'm like, I'm like, she's like, she's like, is that a coach? I'm like, yeah, he's a green Bay Packers defensive court. And she's like, okay, I lost interest. But like, everybody's asking me like, who is this guy? And I'm like trying to, like, I'm trying to explain the nuance of, yeah, he's a first time head coach, the defensive coordinator, you know, the Packers defense has been kind of good. They got Michael Parsons, but it's like, nobody really cares. It's loco, Dan, like you and Diana were talking about a little while ago, that the thing that seems to carry the day is who's good at PR, who's good in an interview.
Belichick is not that. And more recently, Liam Cohen was a laughingstock in his introductory press conference, and so was Nick Sirianni. A couple of years ago. So, yeah, it's it's it's loco that that would be the case.
What are Amin Elhassan's Weekend Observations?
But you made the most important part of what I thought was a striking point yesterday, which is if they're going after a defensive coordinator in Miami, there's a more obvious name.
I mean, Chris Shula, to me, you hire that you immediately create something that would have made a noise even during the championship game.
