00:00Of course, the Knicks are now in pursuit of a new head coach.
00:04There was a big story over the weekend, I guess.
00:07Jay Wright told them, thanks but no thanks.
00:11Not that we didn't know he was going to do that already.
00:13Honestly, can we just say that that has become, Mike,
00:17it's stale bread with green on it over your microwave oven.
00:21How long are you going to leave the loaf of bread sitting up there
00:24with green mold on it?
00:25I am so sick and tired of every –
00:29has he become the poster boy now?
00:31Every single job that opens up in basketball,
00:35Jay Wright is at the head of the list of people that,
00:38let me tell you what, aren't going to take the job.
00:42This guy is not coaching again.
00:44He's not coaching in the NBA.
00:46He's not coaching in college.
00:47He makes millions working on CBS one day a week.
00:50He's got the cushiest gig in the country, loving life.
00:55They pay me millions to talk about college basketball on Saturdays.
00:58And then what?
00:59I do the NCAA tournament for three weeks and make millions.
01:04And all I do is sit in a studio and talk college basketball.
01:07Who wouldn't sign up for that?
01:09Who wants the stress of a job in the NBA or in college with the NIL now?
01:16The kids make more than the head coach, the players.
01:19Now they've agreed to pay college athletes finally after the judge made the decision Friday.
01:25And they're going to go back pay for about $2.8 billion from players from 2016 on and pay them.
01:31Why in God's name?
01:33You wonder why all these guys quit coaching college basketball?
01:36Because they can't deal with it.
01:39They can't deal with what it's become.
01:41It's a disaster.
01:42Jay Wright for every job.
01:43Can we stop with the Jay Wright for every job?
01:48You know what I mean?
01:49Like, it's just painful.
01:51It's going to be the same thing.
01:54And it's going to turn out the same way.
01:56For the first 15 years, Cowher retired from the Steelers.
02:00Every single job that opened up was, Bill Cowher's in the mix for this job.
02:05Bill, and you want to know what?
02:06Bill never left because he's like, why the hell would I leave this cushy gig that I've got?
02:11And now so much time has gone by that you finally don't hear Bill Cowher for every NFL job that opens up.
02:17The same thing is going to happen to Jay.
02:19He's going to have to do this for like 10, 12 years where everybody thinks he's going to take every job.
02:25And then eventually he's going to be still the one laughing with all his money and his tan and going, suckers.
02:30I'm still sitting here just calling games with no stress.
02:33The guy does address magnificently, I have to say.
02:36He does.
02:37He's very good at that.
02:38Oh, and one other thing on the Knick coaching search.
02:42I saw this thing today from that Wendorce and ESPN.
02:45Mutual intrigue on both sides between Jason Kidd and the Knicks.
02:50So, mutual interest on both sides.
02:52Okay, so you know what I would do if I were Dallas?
02:55I would slam the door on this and just get out in front of it and end it already.
02:59What are you going to do?
03:00Are you really going to let this guy leave and go to the Knicks just because he wants to?
03:08He's got a fat deal in Dallas and they're getting Cooper flagged.
03:14I mean, are you kidding me?
03:15They're already loaded with talent with a bunch of peanut brittle guys that never play because they're always injured.
03:20Doesn't he want to stick around Dallas and watch that ship go down the drain again?
03:23I mean, isn't it fantastic watching them crumble every year?
03:27I mean, what is he going to do?
03:28Come to New York?
03:28You know what happens in New York?
03:30You get fired.
03:31Automatic.
03:31The day you get hired is the day you get fired.
