00:00D'Amico Ryan's you heard that that promo there is is we as we jumped out of the break said hey, man, Nick Nick Kaley
00:09Said uh, this guy has the ability to tailor the offense towards the players and
00:14Get a get us over as he said, uh-huh
00:18and I
00:21Do I do wonder where fans are?
00:247 1 3 5 7 2 4 6 10 those of you on the Jim Adler the Texas hammer text line
00:29Those are on YouTube and twitch. I see you kick rocks
00:32And it's Sally in the building everybody over there
00:38Now that we've seen D'Amico's D'Amico
00:40We like we know and I'm taking before his word right as he said, this is his hire, man
00:45He made this decision. It was a tough decision. He wouldn't make this decision. He made the Nick Kaley decision
00:50He also made the Bobby Slowick decision, right? That was that was his guy
00:54He brought with him from San Francisco and I and clearly year one. It was a home run decision, right based off
01:03What happened with CJ Stroud what happened with the offense and this guy getting head coaching?
01:10opportunities
01:12At least once a year want a home run
01:15obviously last year
01:17He felt he had to make the tough decision to make the change on Bobby Slowick
01:22How are you feeling now that we're already here year two?
01:25And it's a second selection here and based off what he brought in and like I said here from the people as well
01:32How are you feeling in?
01:34your
01:35Confidence that D'Amico can pick the guy that this offense need. Well, look I not not good
01:42I mean the confidence level is low
01:44It's it's when we hired D'Amico Ryan's a defensive minded head coach
01:48I immediately said the fear is is that you get a turnstile in the wrong direction at the offensive coordinator position
01:53Even if the guy wins he moves on you got to find the next replacement and it could be in a year like this year
01:58Where you find yourself without an offensive coordinator and there's nobody out there the old heads that are on the streets
02:03They want to take the year off and Mike McCarthy Doug Peterson doesn't want to coach
02:07You know all these a couple of other guys got you know, Chip Kelly's making too much money, right?
02:12So it's one of those scenarios where you look up and you fire a guy and you go well damn
02:15What what am I gonna do now, right? This is precisely why?
02:19The defensive minded head coach from jump scared the hell out of me
02:24And now that we're two years into this thing
02:26Everybody out there all the listeners out there that that that called me every name in the book when I said it
02:31This is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not sitting here telling you that I don't like to hire D'Amico Ryan's
02:36I'm just telling you this is life with the defensive minded head coach is you're constantly trying to get the most important the most important piece
02:44The best support you can which is your quarterback. You found the quarterback and now
02:49unfortunately, you can't find the
02:52plate caller right and when
02:55D'Amico you in D'Amico we trust he hires his first guy. It's his it's his homeboy again. Not some established older
03:03pelts on the wall
03:06Coaches with an iron fist my way or the highway type off. It's a coordinator
03:09He hires a guy from the system that he's been locked at the hip with in San Francisco
03:13And we all just got to sit here and trust right one good year one bad year
03:18D'Amico boom boots him out the door and here we are hiring another guy from that Shanahan McVeigh
03:25Kubiak understudy
03:27You know up-and-coming type of type of guy
03:30And now we just supposed to hear and trust again. Yeah, I don't I don't have confident
03:35I don't have much confidence at all to be honest with you
03:36Whether it's in D'Amico or it's in Nick or it's in Nick Kaley
03:40I don't the confidence is not real high that this is gonna show that this is gonna bear much fruit in in the in
03:48the sense of
03:49Improved production offensively because yeah, there is a wait-and-see element, which I think we're squarely in but sometimes the weight
03:57It's the only option you have but sometimes it is made different if you feel like alright
04:01I got I've got a I've got a real good. I got a good feel that
04:07Based off history or whatever the direction they're going to go is going to yeah, it's going to work out
04:13Yeah, yeah, and I tell you you talked about the confidence in D'Amico. I look I I don't I
04:18Don't know any of the details
04:22But right now if if I had to bet on kind of you know a 30,000 foot view of what's going on
04:29The first time
04:34You got it hire your guy
04:37He hires his guy and it's Bobby slow it and this time it's hard it's hard for me to not go
04:45Nick Casario
04:47Let's collab on this thing a little bit more. Let's go your route. Who do you got?
04:51Well, we got the old New England good buddy of mine knew him John Carroll guy from New England old line coach
04:56This is making that we already got an assistant. Let's make him to
04:59the the the old line coach
05:02Let's go get this guy. It's been a hot. He's been hot lately in a time by the way
05:06Let's let me let's let's not let's make sure we're we we include all the context
05:13Yes, he's been hot he's he's there's he's turned down some interviews I get it
05:17But we're living in an era where where anybody and everybody that knows Nick Casario gets it gets an interview
05:22I'm not shooting at Nick. I'm just saying generally speaking like if you know if you have a connection to an organization
05:28We got guys out here that have no business getting head jobs that ain't even coached in the league getting interviews, right?
05:34So let's not let's not oversell a guy being a hot candidate at the head coach position
05:39We're interviewing anybody and everybody under the Sun in today's NFL. So
05:44You know
05:45but but it looks to me like
05:47This is Nick's turn to go out and get his guys in here and do it his way do it the New England way because
05:52The San Francisco way didn't work out. There's too many dots. The stars align in that direction
05:57You can't tell me that Nick Casario didn't have a very very very strong all of a sudden
06:03You know a guy in D'Amico and Nick that that the first thing they do every time they speak is man
06:07We work together. We do things together now all of a sudden Nick
06:12Nowhere to be fucked. Yeah, it's like I don't care what anybody says
06:16It's hard for me to not go to a place where it's turn to make the it's Nick's turn to make the decision and
06:21And see if he can't get the off. I definitely think this is a
06:24much more collaborative effort in
06:28figuring out who the
06:29Coaches and and I'll be I don't have a problem with it, right like no
06:33I mean after it's it's slow wick and that didn't work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know
06:38Maybe maybe we and he talked about it talked to other coaches. I'm certain he's got a relationship with Sean McVeigh
06:44Certain he's probably talked to his his mentor and Kyle
06:48Shanahan, I'm serious. He's talked to multiple guys. I listen I I trust
06:55That D'Amico for the most part
06:59Like can identify good coaches
07:03Like I feel like he's been around enough of them so much from who be act Andy
07:09You know, Chip Kelly even in Philly and and and then obviously with Kyle in San Francisco
07:16To me and and and still we have not seen everything
07:21Shake out. We don't with we don't know if the staff will completely stay the same right now
07:26we have only heard of the one change and
07:29it's not really that much of a change because he was on the staff last year outside of Kaylee is I
07:38It does feel like it does feel like there has to be more change
07:45And that or or at least has to be a guy as he said his leadership
07:52There a little bit of guys saying
07:54All right, I'm gonna be the OC
07:57But I do need to bring some
08:00Somebody or some people that I feel good about there is like there is no way to me
08:07that Nick Kaylee can come in here and say
08:11Yes, that's the tidy coach I'm a role
08:15But if you were a tight end coach your whole life and you
08:19Watch on film and you saw what you saw from tidy like no disrespect brother
08:24I gotta get I gotta get my my guy in absolutely, right like to me. There is something to the thought of
08:32Hey
08:33And sure, maybe there's a connection. But hey man for we even higher
08:38You as the OC we're gonna hire your offensive line coach and that is clearly
08:44That's the number one thing. He was it was questioned about
08:48Nick Kaylee that was coming more than anything in the presser
08:52and that like there's something to the fact of it does feel like
08:58He's bringing in a coach that
09:01That he has made a lot of decisions for him and you just come in here and well, it's
09:08Only thing that makes me check up. Nobody. Nobody wants CJ put in a system
09:14You want to build a system around CJ, but do you want to stick Nick Kaylee in a system?
09:19Yeah
09:20It's a it's okay for Casario and D'Amico to just keep all these pieces around there and just plug Nick Kaylee and go
09:25Hey, man, go good luck. Go get this go do work with this group
09:28But it's it's but but CJ
09:32CJ it's interesting man that Nick and D'Amico got an interesting way of hiring
09:37It works in the defense side of football because D'Amico is running all the obviously D'Amico is a is a is a leak
09:42Elite alpha leader of men and a great play caller
09:46but finding that elite alpha leader of men great play call on the offensive side of the football seems to be a
09:54I've had a tough go at it so far. We'll see if we'll see if
09:57If Nick Kaylee can can rise to the challenge
10:00yeah, and they think highly of him and I cannot wait to watch and see what
10:08What things he brings at the table and how this thing looks and I do like I said, I think D'Amico can identify
10:15good coaches in and I think it's just a bit of the
10:20Right the process of it. Like when you think about good coaches the other part that comes to mind is
10:27Well, yeah, man. I'm like, I'm a bring guys and I feel
10:32but here's the deal like it's like I agree with you D'Amico and Nick are I mean I
10:39Would say on the elite side of hiring guys that cleats in the turf sweat my ass off leaving it all in the field coaching
10:46Like I think that part of his thing that's part of the reason why the Texans are gonna win his division
10:50They're gonna be a nine or ten win football team until D'Amico decides to hang it up, right?
10:55But
10:57Again the interesting thing is is is
11:01You've got to have more than that in a play caller
11:05Like he's got to demand the respect of Bill Lazor and Gerard Johnson and Ben McDaniels and all these guys. He's got
11:12at a demand time and even even when you can't get the protection right your quarterback smoke like you got to demand the respect of
11:18Those guys and it's clear Bobby may have been a damn rocket scientist when with play
11:24He may be the genius with the playbook
11:26But if you don't demand respect in them adverse times everybody's gonna turn on you and it's gonna be it
11:31It's gonna get uglier and uglier and uglier and that's obviously what happened with Bobby
