Connor has a question about.
It’s a little news story that kind of kind of came and went pretty quickly, but I think it’s pretty large.
Yeah, coach, a few weeks ago Kyle Shanahan kind of talked about how he offered you any role that you wanted on the San Francisco staff.
Was there any thought there like, hey, might, maybe I do go just be a Dc for a season in San Francisco?
And also, did any other teams or coaches reach out like, hey, Bill, come on in, you can do anything that you want, even you know, just go, hang out on the side.
Washington sounds like University of Washington.
Yeah, Yeah, well, appreciate the question, but I’m just going to keep all those conversations that I had between, uh, any other coaches or teams or whatever.
Just we’ll keep those private.
I, I, I appreciate the conversation and you know Kyle’s great,
I, I love Kyle, I have a ton of respect, uh, for him, his dad, and you know the way they coach the game, what they’ve done for the game.
U, I love Kyle and Mike Shanahan, um, and you know, I, I, I think they do a tremendous job.
But, uh, they’ll just leave our personal relationship, you know, aside on that one, but you know, I, I studied them a lot and-
And I’ve learned a lot from uh, from both Kyle and Mike- uh, they’re, they’re, they’re great coaches and and their teams are great, very competitive.
How close, that was awesome answer.
That was press conference, Bill Fig, that was, that was uh.
So now on that point, you don’t have to tell us who.
But was there moments where you had to consider what you wanted to do, how you wanted to do it and everything?
Because obviously, doing this particular show on Monday was a part of a decision that you had to make Monday night Manning, a part of the decision you had to make.
And I know you want to say, I think you’re doing Inside the Nfl, with uh under and with uh doing an underdog, Underdog, Underdog Sports doing a show.
Uh, yeah, no, Inside The Nfl is Nfl films.
No, yeah, Inside the Nfl, but then you’re also doing your own show.
I do believe, as we’re Gna do a podcast.
Yeah, motion detected lights.
Obviously Washington’s doing well.
Y they, National Championship people forget, people forget that.
I mean it’s a great way to save money on electricity.
He just gave you an answer.
He’s given Tom.
He’s given Tom E Curran that answer that he just gave you.
Yeah, I mean 30 to 50 times, there was always a chance that something’s going to happen.
But in that whole process of figuring out what the hell you want to do this season, was there a thought of like baby, just defensive coordinator again?
Or did that road never really get?
Get crossed, Pat, once you made me the offer: I’m in, you said: draft, I’m in, used to Mondays on And I’m in and, and that’s it.
Man, that’s the best offer I had and, and I love that offer- top Pat Mcafee.
Okay, all right, yeah, better being on a Pat Mcafee show.
Okay, all right.
Coach Sa did the same thing last year, right, yep, yep, Y, Coach Sa, Mike Lombardi.
I mean I’m, I feel, part of a very select group and I appreciate the opportunity to be on with you.
I really do hell
Yeah, Bill,
Hell yeah, Bill.
Okay, Bill.
Uh, we do wish we would have been able to see you as just a defense coordinator.
I mean that’s.
We started thinking about you with that San Francisco 49ers defense too, and it’s like you don’t have to deal with any other other than just drawing up plays for that Def.
It would have been crazy to think about been the old Lt days whenever you had your your down on.
I mean we would have been.
You know we.
We were thinking yeah, W in upside down on the chalkboard, right right, rting upside down for another team.
Yeah would have been old school.
We would appreciate it, okay?
So the answer this year I’m just excited to be on with you.
Really am, Pat, and uh, Aj and the rest of the crew, like you guys, are awesome.
It was great at the draft and I look forward to the season, look forward to being with you every week.
Well, we’re lucky to have you, oh.
