What coaching changes are happening in the NFL?
Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
I actually don't think there's been a proper reckoning because everything's been moving so fast. Y'all should be embarrassed. They're physically superior and the last two games have fooled America. Take a lesson from very recent history.
How does Jeff Hafley's hiring impact the Miami Dolphins?
Y'all have been saying the same thing for three weeks. It's the exact same thing I've heard about the four pigs against Louisville and the SMU game going into College Station. I heard the exact same thing going into the Cotton Bowl. They better clean it up if they want to play Indiana. Okay. All right. Anybody at all in media want to say, hey, I'm done doubting this team. Spot the ball. Let's see what's going to happen. Their worst game was Louisville because he threw four interceptions and he wouldn't stop throwing deep. That quarterback looked like this quarterback to you. What world am I living in where Miami at home is a touchdown underdog against Indiana? Like, what?
I don't care about your NIL money. It's still Indiana.
What are the implications of the University of Miami's recent performance?
There is not a thing in the sport that stands up to what they have on the offensive and defensive lines. I think they're going to maul them on the lines. I really do. I just think, like, maybe I'm owed an apology. By? Everyone. I think I'm entitled to one. You think I owe you an apology? Yes. I stand by all of that. Great season. Beat Florida. Beat Florida State. Beat Notre Dame. Beat Ohio State.
Why is Robert Saleh considered a noteworthy coaching hire?
Proved Texas A&M. Proved a lot of the haters wrong. Ran into one of the greatest seasons of all time and had an opportunity to win the game at the end. I know we do this thing where everyone just dunks on the team that lost, but this was a great season for Miami, and I think one thing is very evident. This coach takes his lessons from his adversity, and Miami's going to be around for a long time, and that pisses everyone off. What's the big takeaway more globally as we go forward? All the complaints over the last six, eight weeks about the structure of the 12-team tournament. I think the committee ultimately got it right, except for and I wonder how different the tournament goes if you replace Alabama, who had no business being there, as it turns out, with Notre Dame.
I do think ultimately it's pretty interesting. How are we supposed to assess college football teams going forward? Because I traditionally said, well, you have two losses. If you're the you, you don't control everything. Any claim to being in the tournament? You lost two games along the way. You may or may not sneak in.
What is the significance of the 12-team college football playoff structure?
I wonder what that means. There are 12 playoff teams and six that could actually win the championship. Like there were all sorts of teams in the playoff that can't and shouldn't be in a playoff to win a championship. I just don't like talking about that sport with this certainty because a lot of people shared that opinion and Miami wasn't in that group of six teams. No, but James Madison, Tulane, Alabama, Oklahoma, those are not teams that could have won the championship. I get it. I hope that this postseason, its legacy is like this Big Ten SEC bull****. comes to an end. Not Big Ten. I'm sorry. I took out Ohio State along the way and was right there with Indiana and everyone said this was a team that lost at SMU.
I think that a lot of that stuff is bogus. We were touting it all season long and I just hope we don't repeat the same mistakes when there's a situation like Oklahoma and Alabama reputationally just getting in. I think Notre Dame probably... The conversation was just so driven by Notre Dame versus Miami that Notre Dame was asleep at the wheel and didn't get to like propagandize their own case against those lesser teams.
