00:00This is the Troy Aikman search.
00:01I think they just called him and asked him what he thinks.
00:04That's not what they're saying.
00:05They say Troy Aikman had a hand in this.
00:07Really?
00:07Yeah, dude.
00:09So you ā hold on.
00:12Hold on.
00:14Vlad, this is why ā this is why I'm here, okay?
00:21A GM that comes from an organization that ends up hiring a coach
00:30from the same organization.
00:34You're telling me that Troy Aikman had something to do with that?
00:37Big time.
00:38That Aikman ā
00:39Vlad, Vlad.
00:40Aikman found the Packers twins a long time ago.
00:42Vlad, Vlad.
00:43Uh-huh.
00:43Uh-huh.
00:47What?
00:47They paid for nothing.
00:49I don't think that's true.
00:50He already hired his boy.
00:53But he ā
00:53He didn't need Troy Aikman.
00:55He hired his fam.
00:56Hold on.
00:58Hold on.
00:58Who found ā
00:59Wait.
01:01This is like Donald Trump saying,
01:03I'm going to have an extensive search on who's going to run my corporation
01:05and then hires his son.
01:07That actually did happen with the dollars of Joe Bailey.
01:09Wait.
01:10I'm just saying.
01:11Are you kidding me?
01:12No, no, no.
01:12But here's the thing.
01:13What if Troy Aikman ā
01:14What if he saw the Packers twins from a long time ago?
01:18Those guys could run an organization.
01:19They kept note of it.
01:20And so then he hires John Eric.
01:21He goes, you know who I want.
01:23I want the Hoff.
01:28Wow.
01:29How about that, dude?
01:30Troy Aikman.
01:33We need to thank him.
01:34You know what's amazing about all this?
01:40They don't ā
01:42Like, you fall for everything.
01:44What's that?
01:44And let me tell you why.
01:45Let me tell you why you fall for everything.
01:48Because when them two guys got up in the room and started doing the presser.
01:53Yeah.
01:53They just acknowledged everybody on the ā
01:56That was sitting in the front.
02:00Right?
02:01Me too.
02:02But the fact of the matter is, is that you hired somebody from Green Bay who hired his
02:11guy from Green Bay.
02:13Mm-hmm.
02:13And he may have asked what everybody thought.
02:18But he hired his boy.
02:20And I'm okay with that.
02:22I want the two to be in hand in hand.
02:24I want the two to be comfortable with each other to work.
02:29This is what we wanted.
02:30We wanted a clean slate to start off with a new GM and a coach.
02:34I did want that.
02:34Okay.
02:36But to sit here and say that Troy Aikman had more to do with the hiring of the coach
02:42than the GM ā
02:43I didn't say more.
02:44I didn't say more.
02:45This is where you're adding stuff.
02:46Oh, no, no, no.
02:46I'm just saying that, okay, they may have asked Troy Aikman's opinion, but the hire was
02:55Sully.
02:57And, like, if it were anybody else ā this is the case.
03:03If he had not hired Halfway and hired anybody else, I may be in more agreement with you.
03:11Okay?
03:11But the fact that he ā he could have had a room full of everybody in that room when
03:18he hired his boy, okay, he did what he wanted to do, even though he asked maybe opinion
03:26about it.
03:27You want to hear Jeff Halfway today on Joe Rose?
03:30He's going to ā all he's going to do is look at the people in the front and acknowledge
03:33them all.
03:35I'm not buying it.
03:36He got hurt by his boy.
03:38Do you want to hear it or not?
03:41Sure.
03:41All right.
03:42This was Jeff Halfway.
03:43New Dolphins coach was on Joe Rose this morning.
03:47And then all of a sudden it got crazier because now the national championship is going on.
03:52So they're like, we have to get to the stadium now.
03:54President Trump's going to be here.
03:56Everything's going to shut down.
03:57The phones are going to turn off.
03:58You're not going to be able to get anywhere.
04:00So I'm rushing over to the stadium.
04:02And here's where something cooler even happens.
04:04So we're going through like a ā we're going through like a back door to the stadium.
04:08And I got Troy Aikman and Dan Marino, which for me, I'm like, oh my gosh.
04:11Like, think about this, right?
04:12I got Dan Marino and Troy Aikman with me.
04:15Like, who am I?
04:16And Troy takes a case of beer out of his car.
04:20And I said, Troy, dude, I loved you.
04:23And now I like you even more.
04:24You bring your own beer into the national championship.
04:27And I mean his own beer, his brand.
04:30And he's like, yeah, Jeff, we just got to put it on ice and get it cooler.
04:34I was like, you are the man.
04:35Like, this guy, like, I love this place already.
04:39So, yeah, we go up.
04:40We watch the game.
04:41And what a game it was.
04:43And, you know, for me, meeting a whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of supporters.
04:47And, I mean, I just ā I couldn't believe it.
04:49You know, a guy who grew up playing small college football, coached small college football,
04:53worked my way up.
04:54And now I'm sitting there and just so grateful for the opportunity.
04:59But, yeah, clearly one of the best days I've ever had.
05:01And just really honored to have the opportunity.
05:04Wow, Troy Aikman made it the best day he ever had.
05:07Point.
05:08Now, this is what I love.
05:13His own beer.
05:14This is what I love about this, right?
05:19He was fanboying about Troy Aikman and his beer.
05:22And that's fine.
05:23Who wouldn't?
05:24Exactly.
05:26Bless you, dude.
05:27I hope you're not catching what I got.
05:28No.
05:29So, but at no point in time in that story did he ever say one of the main reasons why I'm here is
05:37Troy Aikman.
05:38He was just fanboying.
05:39All right.
05:41He's walking with Dan Marino and Troy Aikman.
05:44Right.
05:45So, he's walking with the guy.
05:46He's fanboying, which is fine.
05:48But they don't have to walk with him, Leroy.
05:50They don't have to walk.
05:51He doesn't have to give him a case of beer.
05:53I mean, Dan could walk with Joe Rose.
05:55I, but what does one have to do with the other?
05:58I'm saying if that's the guy that helped me get hired.
06:01You know what?
06:02Nothing.
06:02I guess it has nothing.
06:03It's just Troy Aikman bringing his own beer to be in the Dolphins box.
06:07Tobin, I apologize.
06:09Thanks, man.
06:10For not believing in what you said yesterday.
06:12Very good.
06:12You can get it.
06:13I ain't, no.
06:14Absolutely not.
06:14Just because you're stubborn.
06:15That's why.
06:15I'm not stubborn.
06:16I saw the look on your face.
06:17I'm not stubborn at all.
06:18You want to hear what he said about Malik Willis today on Joe's show?
06:23So.
06:24I haven't heard this clip.
06:25Can I, can I ask you a question?
06:27Sure.
06:28If.
06:30Again, the NFL problem.
06:32That has plagued for a few years now.
06:36You have 32 teams and 20 quarterbacks.
06:41So.
06:42Most teams are kicking the tires on every possible scenario.
06:45Sure.
06:46If Malik Willis could be a starter.
06:48And I'm, I'm not saying he can or can't.
06:50I'm just asking a question.
06:52If Malik Willis could be a starter.
06:55Why hasn't nobody kicked the tires on that before now?
06:58I don't know.
06:59Okay.
07:00I'm just.
07:01With the quarterback shortage.
07:04Right?
07:06Yeah.
07:06Do you want me to play a.
07:07Do you want me to.
07:08This is a guy who's seen him in practice.
07:10So.
07:13This is what he had to say on Malik Willis.
07:16Malik was our scout team quarterback for most of the year.
07:18So I got a chance to work really close with him.
07:20Obviously running the defense.
07:22So he gave us a look.
07:23As your backup quarterback.
07:24As you know, Joe does in the NFL.
07:26I mean, he gave us the look.
07:27So we got really close.
07:29And.
07:29Just love the way he prepared.
07:31Loved how serious he was.
07:33I mean.
07:33He's the guy that after a good defensive performance.
07:36Would come up to me and.
07:38You know.
07:38Say, hey coach.
07:39Great job.
07:39Wow.
07:40What a defensive performance.
07:41And I'd always look at him.
07:42And sometimes I'd even get to say to him.
07:43I'd say.
07:44Shoot Malik.
07:45You had more yards running and passing than the quarterback we played today.
07:48So.
07:48So I appreciate all your hard work and effort.
07:51But.
07:52Just being in Green Bay.
07:53And you know.
07:53A couple of times when Jordan couldn't play after the.
07:56In the two years I was there.
07:58I mean.
07:58I think Malik went in and won just about every game.
08:01He's a great athlete.
08:02He's smart.
08:03He can throw it.
08:04He can make off scheduled plays.
08:06Just a really cool guy to be around in my two years.
08:08And I'm grateful for all the help that he did with our defense too.
08:11There you go.
08:12That was Jeff Halfley on Joe's show this morning.
08:16And that guy's as good as our quarterback.
08:17Huh?
08:19Not saying it's right or wrong.
08:21I'm just saying it sounds like it.
08:22Sounds like a guy.
08:23He's got a lot of respect for.
08:28What would you prefer?
08:29You prefer that or you prefer them.
08:30Because.
08:31I would say this is a Dolphins team.
08:33Right?
08:33If this is not a great quarterback draft.
08:35Typically you have wanted them to go best talent.
08:38That's going to be available in the top.
08:39Which seems like it's going to be pretty heavy line.
08:41The end.
08:42Maybe they got to get a corner.
08:43Although I'm terrified of drafting corners high right now.
08:45Just kind of started.
08:46I would say this.
08:51This organization is in a place.
08:55Where if you just took.
08:57The best available player.
09:00At your pick.
09:01For the next two years.
09:03You're going to make your team better.
09:04And not draft out a need.
09:07It usually works out.
09:09When you just draft the highest player available.
09:11Instead of.
09:13For some reason.
09:15Every organization that needs something.
09:18And drafts.
09:19That guy they need.
09:21They always end up reaching.
09:22Kind of feels like it happened this year with Kenny G.
09:26Yeah.
09:26Not saying that he won't be good.
09:27But it does feel like they reached a little bit on him.
09:30So.
09:30From that standpoint.
09:31I think.
09:33If.
09:34Especially when you're rebuilding.
09:37Especially when you're retooling.
09:38Especially when you're trying to.
09:40Build something long term.
09:42If you just draft the guys.
09:45That.
09:45Whoever.
09:46Wherever they draft.
09:4711th.
09:47Who is the highest rated player.
09:50At 11th.
09:51And you do that.
09:53For a couple of drafts.
09:55I think.
09:56That eventually.
09:58You'll be able to find a spot.
10:00And get everything going.
10:01When you have good players.
10:03If you draft a position.
10:06And you had to reach.
10:08Say five spots.
10:11Then.
10:11You look at those other guys.
10:13That could have been drafted.
10:14That were rated above that guy.
10:16And probably any one of those.
10:18Could have made you.
10:19A lot better than you.
10:20Drafted out of that need.
10:24When you look at.
10:25What people are doing at quarterback.
10:27Right.
10:28How many.
10:28In the last 10 years.
10:30When they had that run on quarterbacks.
10:32How many guys end up.
10:34Picking up a quarterback.
10:35Because he was next.
10:36And they needed a quarterback.
10:37That didn't work out.
10:39So.
10:40Like.
10:41Yeah.
10:42I just think.
10:43If they go in there with a plan.
10:46And I think.
10:47Right now.
10:48You need to get.
10:49As much talent.
10:51As possible.
10:53Yeah.
10:53No doubt about that.
10:54And.
10:54And that's the most.
10:56Important.
10:57Part of this.
10:58And where this needs to go.
11:00In the next couple of years.
11:01You need to have.
11:03Talent.
11:04Josh says.
11:05The gooseies in here.
11:05In this story is cool.
11:06But if they look bad.
11:07Next season.
11:07No one will care about these stories.
11:09I get it.
11:10I think that's actually.
11:10One of the things that I liked.
11:11About half yesterday.
11:13On the presser.
11:15Because he was like.
11:16He wasn't trying to sell anything.
11:18You know.
11:18I didn't feel like.
11:19There's nothing to sell.
11:20I didn't feel like.
11:20He was a salesman though.
11:21He's like.
11:22Look.
11:22I understand.
11:22This is a place.
11:23Where there's no trust.
11:25Or trust is.
11:26Is really hard to come by.
11:27He's like.
11:27We're going to have to show you.
11:28And I kind of like that.
11:29He just seems like a real dude.
11:30Yeah.
11:31And also.
11:31Very very well spoken.
11:33Which is nice.
11:34No.
11:35Oh my God.
11:36Yes.
11:37Clean.
11:38Well.
11:39Usually in most cases.
11:41Vlad.
11:43You're happy with your new coach.
11:44As long as he's not like.
11:45The last coach.
11:47Right.
11:48So we can go.
11:49We can go.
11:51My ears.
11:52My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:53My ears.
11:54My ears.
11:54My ears.
11:54My ears.
11:55My ears.
11:55My ears.
11:55My ears.
11:55My ears.
11:58Beautiful.
11:59Beautiful.
11:59Right.
11:59Smooth.
12:00Smooth.
12:01Concise.
12:03Answers.
12:04This was just like.
12:04Oh my God.
12:0515 seconds.
12:0625 seconds.
12:07Right.
12:08To the point.
12:09So I think.
12:09I think.
12:11You know.
12:12The task.
12:14At hand.
12:15Right now.
12:16Before the draft even gets here.
12:19Is.
12:20What are they going to do.
12:22With.
12:23The salary cap.
12:25Yeah.
12:25For sure.
12:25The players.
12:27You got a lot of players.
12:28I mean.
12:28Think about how much money they spent on these veteran players in the last five years.
12:34And.
12:35You got no return.
12:36On all that money spent.
12:38Yeah.
12:38Well the one.
12:39And so now.
12:40I wouldn't be surprised if they went from one of the older teams.
12:44To one of the younger teams.
12:46Agreed.
12:46In.
12:47In one year.
12:48Yeah.
12:49If you're going to look at like the veterans.
12:50It'll probably still be here.
12:51It's going to be probably Brooks.
12:53They got to figure out what to do with him.
12:55Sealer's obviously in a contract.
12:57I don't know what they're going to do with Chubb.
12:59You know.
12:59That's probably one of those where he could go back and.
13:01They could probably.
13:02You know.
13:02Go.
13:03Restructure on him too.
13:04Depends on how much he likes being down here.
13:06I think.
13:08I mean.
13:09The way we talked about Chubb at the end of.
13:12Last season.
13:13We didn't think he was going to be this.
13:15This year.
13:16Yeah.
13:16He actually had.
13:17No.
13:17He had a great year.
13:18Yeah.
13:18No.
13:18He had a really impressive year.
13:19So.
13:19And also.
13:20I mean.
13:21Chubb did not.
13:23And so like.
13:23If you don't.
13:24Was he banged up though?
13:25He seemed like he got.
13:25He had a couple of concussions.
13:27Right.
13:27He had a couple of concussions.
13:28They talked about.
13:29I mean.
13:29They put.
13:30They.
13:30You know.
13:31I know they kind of said early on.
13:32That he wasn't getting enough reps.
13:33But I.
13:34I definitely don't think you would say that.
13:36He took a step up this year.
13:37Compared to what we saw at the end of his.
13:39Of his rookie year.
13:40Right.
13:41Um.
13:41Defensive backs.
13:43Marshall looked impressive.
13:45Trader looked impressive.
13:45From the young.
13:46From the young DBs.
13:47They needed.
13:48You know.
13:48They're going to need a corner.
13:49I don't know.
13:49Storm Duck will be back healthy.
13:51But he's supposed to be like a.
13:52You know.
13:53I don't think you want Storm Duck.
13:54Is your number one corner.
13:55Right.
13:56So.
13:57There's still some things.
13:58That got to get.
13:58Sharpened on that side.
13:59And then.
14:00You know.
14:00The offensive line still has some questions too.
14:02But.
14:03Um.
14:04You know.
14:04I.
14:05That's the thing.
14:05They didn't seem like.
14:06This is.
14:07I don't think they went into this saying.
14:08Like.
14:08Yeah.
14:09This could be a one or even two year fix.
14:11Like.
14:11They're going to have to.
14:12I think.
14:12I think.
14:13After.
14:13How they want to.
14:14I think.
14:15Here's what you do.
14:16Year one.
14:18You.
14:20Either rip off the bandaid.
14:21And figure out what you're going to do there.
14:23Um.
14:24Swallow.
14:25Just take the cap hit.
14:27And what's going to happen is.
14:28Your team is going to get.
14:30Extremely young.
14:31And then.
14:32That's going to require development.
14:33And coaching.
14:34And stuff like that.
14:35And then.
14:37Once you get to.
14:38That second year.
14:40I think.
14:40That's going to be.
14:41The big improvement.
14:42On.
14:43Where everything is.
14:45Uh.
14:45Hopefully you'll have.
14:47A quarterback by then.

14:51If you build the infrastructure.

14:57Then that guy steps into a better place.
14:59I think that's a good work.
15:00By the way.
15:00I think it's a good work.
15:01I think it's a good work.
15:02I think it's a good work.
15:02But.
15:03Again.
15:03I think.
15:04It's a good work.
