The news going into the weekend Leroy the Dolphins fired a couple of coaches
00:04
They fired special teams coordinator Danny Crossman who had been here a long time
00:09
Which we knew that was coming. I mean, that's but the Dolphins let go Wes Welker has wide receiver coach
00:15
Think that I don't carry thing
00:18
Is that a what thing Tariq thing or I don't know. I don't know but he's been with him since San Francisco
00:26
I was like, whoa
00:28
That's your boy to your hey, let me tell you something when I sir when I've seen Leroy a top hobnobbing
00:34
Leroy was hobnobbing with Wes Welker left me in the dust
00:40
Do you think he let Tyree get away with so much that Mike McDaniel felt like I can't
00:47
Have you and that was my that that was my thought on it. I haven't I thought that like
00:52
All right, was he not reporting how many times the Tyree kill was late and it made him look stupid
00:58
Or something like that. Like that's the only thing I can think like what could you do?
01:02
What could West what you like because certainly you could sit here on its face and just be like hey
01:06
Tyree kill and Jalen Waddle highest-paid guys in the team neither had a thousand yards blamed the wide receiver coach
01:11
But like isn't his job to me. What does he need to do to develop those guys like yeah
01:17
You know, I don't that didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense
01:19
So yeah, I agree with you Marcus. The only thing that seems to make sense to me is
01:24
Was Wes Welker too lenient in the room. Yeah too much of a players coach, huh?
01:30
That sucks though, because I feel like
01:33
Scapegoat, I feel like a scapegoat do messed up. That's your guy. Yeah, I
01:38
Mean, I don't know Leroy. Is that another thing to like? Hey, that's my guy. I got rid of him
01:44
That's how dedicated I am. Please don't fire me
01:48
Streets need a body
01:50
But like what so let me get this straight though
01:54
Wes Welker
01:57
Was the coach the last three years
01:59
Who are those years?
02:01
Wide receivers were incredible. Yeah
02:04
Now is coaching got that much worse one year. I
02:08
Don't know. I don't know. I think I don't know I think
02:14
Sometimes here sometimes players get in the comfort zone and in order to
02:22
Change that
02:24
And change the the process in which they go about things
02:28
you change the coach to
02:31
kind of
02:32
get a new
02:34
Focus and a new attitude in there
02:38
So, I don't know maybe it was
02:40
So, I don't know maybe it was these guys got a little bit too comfortable and they weren't doing their job
02:48
Maybe and there's a lot of coaches that make assumptions that you're a professional. You've been a professional a long time
02:54
you know how to go about this and
02:56
And that might not
02:58
When Tyreek says I didn't get enough work
03:03
Right. Does that not fall on the coach?
03:06
The position does that fall the position coach
03:11
I don't know. I was I mean
03:14
Why would that fall like why would that fall on him? I don't know. I'm just
03:19
Yes, I don't know why coaches get fired, dude
03:22
That's why I just ended like we all saw the crowd like our special teams obviously getting fired
03:27
But like this guy's been here for years. He came with my McDaniel from San Francisco, right?
03:33
They're obviously tight
03:34
I feel like when I when I you know used to go to practices I see Mike McDaniel
03:38
Hobnobbing with Wes Welker all the time now
03:40
maybe Wes Welker likes to hobnob because I saw it with Leroy too, but but you know from my standpoint, I'm just like
03:47
Wait, what? What do you mean? Wes Welker got canned? I didn't understand that to me. It just felt like
03:53
He either kept secrets
03:55
To make that that kept Mike McDaniel looking a little foolish. Maybe he's trying to keep the stress off of his plate. I don't know
04:02
You can't go out here and tell me performance like we're gonna blame
04:06
Two 30 million receivers, we're gonna blame their performances on the coach
04:14
Really
04:15
Malik Washington got better. Did he not right? Well again
04:20
We could probably do this
04:22
throughout coaching
04:25
Right, but we pick to do this here in this situation. I
04:32
Don't know. I don't know why coaches get fired, right?
04:36
I mean, we've just had to cope the
04:39
thought process of
04:40
Can't imagine how coach got fired in their first year
04:43
Yeah on a team that sucked and you knew they were gonna suck and you're why are you firing the coach?
04:52
Smithen says what if Welker pounded the table for OBJ?
04:59
Marco's got a job for him then
05:02
We can pound the table together
05:07
Also brought up another good point was that you got to replace
05:11
Nostalgia with nostalgia. So Brian heartline you receivers coach. No, he's coaching a championship game
05:19
Well, you know
05:21
Heartland is the wide receiver coach in
05:24
In
05:26
Yeah
05:29
That's a much softer landing by the way
05:31
Hmm I feel like our line sticking around there cuz he knows the next Michigan loss
05:36
Even if I think gave you in a Friday wins the national championship once he knows
05:41
Listen I already asked my biggest, Ohio State supporter. I
05:48
Asked me and what do you say?
05:51
He says he's Teflon he says no, he's he was gonna be there regardless
05:58
I'm like, that's not what I was hearing after the Michigan game
06:01
I like I don't know like
06:03
Like yeah, man
06:05
That's I'm telling you if he wins the national championship and he loses the Michigan he and his heat is his seats gonna get hot
06:10
They're tired of losing to Michigan
06:12
Yeah
06:14
The goal is to win a championship. That's what they fired Orgeron
06:22
I don't care that he was too horny
06:25
Hmm
06:33
Maybe you can come by breakfast
