00:00BC, and I'm excited for Bill Belichick on Monday.
00:03UNC, go Tar Heels.
00:04Are you okay?
00:05Yes.
00:05Oh, all right.
00:07Just a little phlegm.
00:09It's perfectly fine.
00:10It happens to the best of us.
00:12No, I think that Monday night is going to be the most watched local college football,
00:17I mean, most watched college football game in Boston in decades.
00:21That I just think there's so many people are, it's so interesting, right?
00:25Like, how is this going to work in that environment?
00:28What is Bill going to be like?
00:29How is that team going to play?
00:31Are they going to have that, you know, is it going to be like Deion arriving in Colorado?
00:34They both begin their careers at these big schools against TCU.
00:39It was this unbelievable game where TCU and Colorado went back and forth a couple years ago.
00:45No, I mean, I think when it comes to college football, it's got to be top 10 stories this season.
00:52I mean, you know, Arch Manning is up there.
00:56Arch Manning, the Saturday noon game is fascinating to me because you have Matt Patricia, the defensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes against the biggest, no doubt, draft pick maybe since his uncle, Peyton Manning in the late 90s.
01:13Arch Manning with the number one ranked Texas Longhorns at Ohio State against the defending national champions.
01:19And Arch Manning is a guy that could dictate his future in the NFL.
01:23It's something the Mannings are very good at.
01:24And I am fascinated to see how that transpires on Saturday.
01:29But and then Monday night, I there are so many people, I think, nationally that want to see Bill fall flat on his face.
01:37Do you think that?
01:38Yes.
01:38Look at the Twitch right now.
01:39He's despised.
01:40Twitch, a small grouping of people.
01:43But to see how many people say, like, I hope that TCU destroys UNC, I hope Bill's a massive failure.
01:49I don't get that.
01:50I don't either.
01:51The guy gave you 20 years of excellence here.
01:56Like, what are you pissed off about?
01:58Yeah.
01:58And the content's just way better if he's good.
02:00Yes.
02:01Just way, way better.
02:02Everything is better if he's if he is great at UNC and, like, dominates the ACC.
02:07That's just the best case scenario.
02:09Because what you get, if you get a hot start from UNC, then whatever the team is.
02:15Greg, you mentioned the Dolphins the other day.
02:17Like, name the NFL team that starts 0-3.
02:21Yeah.
02:21That has a relatively talented roster.
02:23And let's say UNC is 3-0.
02:25The number one talker across the country is that fan base wanting Bill Belichick to be hired and to coach their team.
02:33But if they start out 1-3, then that all goes away.
02:37So for my money, I want it to be interesting.
02:39I want it to be relevant.
02:40I want Bill to have some early success so we get some buzz and get something fun to talk about.
02:44I mean, here's a 617 text on the Subaru of New England text line.
02:49Find your authorized Subaru retailer at SubaruofNewEngland.com that says,
02:54Whoever is rooting for Bill Belichick to win down there needs to re-evaluate their own lives.
03:00Okay, well, I'm rooting for Bill to win and to keep winning.
03:05Yeah.
03:05Because he's the greatest coach to ever do it.
03:07And you know what?
03:08I don't care who he's dating.
03:09I'm sorry.
03:10Like, I don't know why people want to see him fail because he's dating a young girl.
03:14Like, I don't care.
03:15I don't care.
03:17I mean, I would say he's the greatest coach to ever do it, but he's been a great coach.
03:23And it'll be fascinating to see.
03:25Who's better?
03:25Uh, I mean, I would probably say in the NFL right now.
03:30No, no, no.
03:31To ever do it.
03:32Uh, I would say Joe Gibbs accomplishing what he did, winning three Super Bowls with three
03:36different quarterbacks is more impressive than what Bill Belichick did.
03:39Really?
03:40Oh, definitely.
03:41Huh.
03:43Um.
03:43I mean, I.
03:44I strongly disagree, but that's okay.
03:47Yeah.
03:47I mean, I just don't think that Bill Belichick coaching a decade without Brady and not winning.
03:53I mean, that's just, if, if you win, like if you win with just one guy and then that
03:58guy leaves and wins and you fall flat on your face, that's kind of a, a big strike against
04:03him.
04:03But I'm, I'm thrilled for him.
04:04I really do.
04:05I think it's going to be reinvigorating.
04:07I think that he's full of crap, what he says he wants.
04:10He's always wanted to coach in college and he wants to stay in college forever, but I want
04:14him to be back in the NFL for our purposes.
04:16I think it'd be great.
04:18Six, one, seven texts.
04:20Greg, the guy is an a-hole without Tom Brady.
04:24He's probably nothing.
04:25That is true.
04:26What?
04:26I don't know.
04:27The people that are just like the fans being a fan of the people to be, to be, what would
04:33Tom Brady be without him?
04:35Would he be the same?
04:36Of course.
04:37Of course.
04:37I don't know if you can answer this.
04:39But I was, this isn't a good exercise, right?
04:41Can I just say one thing before you, why do you care if Bill Belichick is an a-hole?
04:45Like he's not taught not to you.
04:46This six, one, seven texts.
04:48You're like, you've never met Bill Belichick, I'm sure.
04:50Him being an a-hole doesn't affect your life at all.
04:53Like, it's crazy to me.
04:56It's crazy.
04:56Like we dealt with him being an a-hole.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Still love him.
04:59I didn't care.
05:00No.
05:01Respect him.
05:02Yeah.
05:02Yeah.
05:02I think if you flip it where Tom Brady was here and he was five and 13 and then Belichick
05:10comes in and changes all the fortunes around, you would not say that Tom Brady would have
05:17still been Tom Brady if Bill Belichick had never arrived.
05:19The big catalyst in his whole career was Tom coming in, in his second year after he had
05:25failed in Cleveland going five and 13 in his first season plus two games in 2001.
05:31I was at the stadium in those games.
05:32People wanted him fired.
05:34And what shifted...
05:35But certainly the early, the early portion of the dynasty though, Curtis, the defense had
05:40a giant part in winning those games and those Super Bowls.
05:45Right.
05:46And that was Bill.
05:48That was not Tom Brady.
05:49Why did the team go 11-3 in 2001 when Bledsoe went down?
05:54Well, I could argue why did they go...
05:56Why did they win 10 games when Matt Castle was in there?
05:59So they won seven fewer the year after.
06:02So everybody talks about Peyton Manning and the Colts with Painter coming in and not having
06:05the success.
06:06The Patriots won 17 games, oh no, 18 games in 2007.
06:12They won 11 in 2008.
06:14So they lost seven games year to year.
06:17That is a massive amount.
06:18Late in Tom Brady's career, they won a Super Bowl based on defense, defense only.
06:23Yeah.
06:23They don't get to that Super Bowl if they don't put up 40 points and beat the Chiefs in the
06:27AFC Championship game.
06:27We could do this all day long.
06:29I mean, the NFL agrees with me, if we're going to be honest.
06:33He's not in the NFL.
06:34He's not coaching anywhere.
06:35Yeah.
06:35If he's the greatest to ever do it, according to everybody there, don't you think he'd have
06:39a job?
06:40Unless he's not that great anymore.
06:41Right.
06:43I mean, he was great.
06:45Might have lost a step or two.
06:47Well, we'll find out.
06:48I mean, we'll see what he can do down there.
06:50Yep.
06:51And I just, I like the story.
06:54Me too.
06:54And I just, that's not somebody that I am rooting for to fail.
07:01But there are some people who are.
07:02This is Mike from New Hampshire.
07:04Hello, Mike.
07:05Hey guys, how you doing?
07:06Love you.
07:07I listen to you every day.
07:08Thank you, Mike.
07:10Awesome.
07:10Hope you guys have a good week.
07:11Hey, one question regarding Brady Belichick.
07:15He's great for one reason.
07:17When Bledsoe came back from his injury, what other coaches in the NFL would have taken him
07:24out and put Bledsoe back in and not give him Brady the chance to keep going?
07:28Yeah, the greatest decision in the history of Boston sports came after the AFC championship
07:40and before the Super Bowl in 2001 when Bill Belichick summoned Drew Bledsoe to his suite
07:45in New Orleans and said, you're not starting.
07:47That was gigantic balls.
07:49I will never debate that.
07:51That was, without that, I don't know what happens and I don't know of another coach that would
07:55have the balls to make that decision.
07:56Absolutely.
07:57All right.
07:58Well, you'll be able to hear that game live here on WEEI on Monday night.
08:05And can't wait for that.
08:07And let's see, Wiggies, Wiggies, Bulldogs are number two, latest polling.
08:14So BC is going to be in the others receiving votes soon.
08:18Don't be worried.
08:20Well, BC has that Notre Dame game.
08:22November 1st.
08:24Yeah.
08:24I need to get tickets for it.
08:25I do have a parking spot, but I need tickets.
08:28So what, you're asking for some help?
08:31No, no, no.
08:32I will be reaching out to Bears.
08:33Oh, I see.
08:35And if you have a one bedroom, Jackson's looking.
08:37Yes.
08:38That's correct.
08:39All right.
08:39Anybody else need anything?
08:40Sean?
08:41You want to?
08:42No, I'm good.
08:43Thanks.
08:43Appreciate it.
08:44Okay.
08:46It's also like the rage about BC football.
08:48Like, I get it.
08:48They've been so bad.
08:49I don't know what to tell you people in the Twitch.
08:51Like, BC football, entertaining.
08:53Nah.
08:54I don't know.
08:54Sorry.
08:55I love him still.
08:56And I love Bill O'Brien.
08:57And I think he's going to do great things.
08:58Yeah.
08:59Well, I mean, I have high expectations for him.
09:04I, you got to give him a little bit of time when it comes to recruiting and for that to
09:10pay off and get his guys there.
09:12And so.
09:12Win total this year, UNC or the Patriots?
09:15More wins.
09:16I believe that the, I.
09:19So North Carolina, it's a tough one because North Carolina has far fewer games.
09:22Yeah.
09:22But.
09:23I mean.
09:25The Patriots.
09:27So, like.
09:28So you think North Carolina is like seven and five?
09:30Yep.
09:32Oof.
09:32I mean.
09:33Yeah.
09:34Six and six, seven and five.
09:35Exactly.
09:35What is.
09:36What is a successful season for Bill Belichick, win total-wise?
09:40A winning record.
09:41Just a winning record.
09:42Yep.
09:42That's it.
09:43Year one.
09:44It's tough to turn around a whole program that fast.
09:46UNC doesn't have a tough schedule.
09:48No.
09:49Like, I could see them having nine wins.
09:51But it's also not a football school.
09:53So, like, how much talent do they actually have?
09:55No, I know.
09:55But they were in the ACC championship just a few years ago with Larry Fedora as their head
09:59coach.
09:59So, like, I, you know, I think that they could have nine wins.
10:05Don't they have a brand new quarterback now, though, too?
10:08Didn't their old quarterback transfer out?
10:12Just look at their schedule.
10:13It's like they've got Charlotte, Richmond.
10:19I mean, Syracuse is going to be good this year.
10:23I mean, I think.
10:24Duke, UNC State, Wake Forest.
10:27If Bill Belichick isn't over 500, that is a failure.
10:31But I don't think.
10:32I think that they'll win seven or more games.
10:34Absolutely.
10:35Here's an important question for you.
10:36Who designs a play that is used in-game by a college football team first?
10:48Shime or Jordan?
10:51Oh.
10:51Oh.
10:52Jordan already has, like, multiple in the playbook.
10:54What are we talking about?
10:54Yeah.
10:55I think so.
10:55It's not even close.
10:56She's got a great punt block.
10:58It's better than that Colts fake punt.
11:02Oh, my God.
11:03To this day, I can't.
11:04Every time I watch that, I laugh my ass off.
11:06There's two plays in my life that I can watch, and I will always laugh, and it's that and
11:10the butt fumble.
11:11Unbelievable.
11:12Just great, great moments.
11:13All-timers.
