Brady does Stern (4-8-20)

This is dry when Josh drive you through this support is you don't have to be a genius to understand what the Carolina Panthers are doing this off-season really is a story of business strategizing 101.

I love the belief up land is only as successful as it is easy to understand and with the draft is 15 days away.

I think we've seen enough to understand what Carolina's grand plan is what their strategy is because regardless if you disagree with a lot of the moves that have been made the papers largely have gotten everything they wanted this off-season. Going back to December a pepper you wanted to change hand he got one with Ron Rivera no longer be in the coaching Carolina he got the handpicked who the next guy would be. He interviewed with Mike McCarthy didn't offer him on the spot. Dallas then scoop them up. Carolina, they met with Matt rule they had the chance to meet with Josh McDaniels afterwards. But they didn't want to lose out on rule, let them get on a plane and go to the Giants and likely be hired up there so they gave him an offer that was a lot bigger than any of the other coaching offers. They locked up their guy beyond that. But the staff Matt rules put together a lot of his assistants at Baylor guys he dealt with when he was with the Giants.

He got Joe Brady. We still don't know how much but he had a big expensive extension just days leading up to the national title game and the day after that the Panthers ultimately hiring him. He was sought after Carolina got in the front office David Tepper. He specifically wanted to keep Marty hurting maybe they probably wanted the interview Andrew Berry from the Philadelphia Eagles to be the COO but Barry then got interviewed by the Browns for the general manager position. He got it so it was a completely ideal but they got the coaching staff.

They wanted the coaching staff had a clear plan and it's been obvious with the personnel that they signed all the moves with the exception of Russell Okun being 31 years old. There 29 and younger. These contracts, they are two years or shorter tray Boston and Teddy Bridgewater be in the exception to that and Teddy's third year has no guaranteed money on that he was their first choice, just listen to the way Matt rule was talking about Teddy earlier today on a zoom press conference. Please address a great scheme fit for us is been in this offense. So really is your sitting there a time when there's no off-season usually walks in day one. He knows the verbiage he knows the concept watching on tape. He's executing the place were gonna run so you feel really good about that and then through obscurity.

Someone that makes everyone else around them better. You know he's he's a humble person driven person they didn't think they were going to get Teddy. They thought he be too expensive between $25-$30 million. That's what we were looking at in the weeks leading up the free agency. It would make sense for him to want an extended contract for five years. Carolina, they got up for three and again that third year. No guaranteed money on it so it's essentially a two-year deal. They prefer Justin Burris to Eric Reed. They got the former NC state safety.

They re-signed tray Boston they solve left tackle bringing in Russell Okun. Even though he's five years older nearly then Trey Turner who they gave up. They thought it's gonna be a lot more difficult to figure out tackle that it is figuring out Gord so they solve that problem. The needs are clear and the draft in the Panthers.

There getting every player that they want. They've gotten younger getting rid of Greg Olson having cam Newton walk in favor of Teddy Bridgewater.

Everything's been part of the plant and I find comfort comfort in that. Things are clear, successful plant. They are clear plans Carolina obviously has one. It's about collecting assets, collecting younger players and not having long expensive extended contracts. This is the smart way to go about building some call it thinking I usually do. I don't think taking is intentionally losing some defined it differently. I think Carolina they are making smart business move, but can you expect anything more in free agency from Matt rule. Here's what he had to say on that front.

I would say no to sort of where we are is a roster there may be some places where we still have many, many get someone here is someone there but I like the bears we got in free agency because they are all the right fit for us who we are, schematically, and that can be some guys who might just end up being special-teams players can be some guys were starter. Some guys were Kiki backups so we can go out and spend all of you know Long one guy we try to spread it out and bring annual just a strong nucleus of guys who are going to do things the right way for our systems and really loving as a target and we had a I think the needs are clear and the draft. It's a deep defensive tackle draft they have the seventh pick Marty hurting who they keep around for his college expertise there looking at a lot of quality players who can help them immediately.

I made a bet that I would whenever you're allowed to get a haircut again shave my head into a mullet. I would cut my hair into a mullet and dress like Joe exotic for a week if they do not add number seven pick Simmons Derek Brown or Javon Kinlaw out of South Carolina with that number seven pick, it has to be defense.

That's the only thing that makes sense but stock of the office of tackle or else why did they trade for Russell Okun, a year after picking in the second round of tackle and Greg little they traded up to select little who they had a first-round radon.

Why would they go quarterback even if one fell after signing PJ Walker and signing Teddy Bridgewater just wanted make a lot of sense. Plumbing Matt rule didn't draft Greg little, maybe that's not one of his guys, maybe they feel like he's not one of the dudes it's possible, but they did make a decision to give up Trey Turner, a pro bowler for a pro bowl left tackle, and if you're going to go and bring in a probable left tackle understanding there was only one year left on his contract and that's fine. You probably aren't going to go through the draft with as many needs as Carolina has offense of tackle at seven if you brought in via trade a left tackle and obviously guards, not a position you pick in the top 10 but what what exceptions are there to that rule. Brandon Sharif in Washington like what position was Nelson in Indianapolis. A tackle Rosie O'Gara Quentin Nelson to Gord as well. Yasser Nelson's I think those are very few and far between.

You find that something was center last year Bradberry out of NC state was an exception to the rule nine carries Matt Paradis as the Panthers center.

He was once a first-round pick, so I'm not saying it doesn't happen. It just rarely happens in the top 10. So I think Carolina at number seven's going to go with one of those defensive players because that follows in line with the plan that they've put in place elsewhere.

Tom Brady. He was on Howard Stern this morning and I think after listening to that interview and reading his players Tribune story that he wrote his entry from earlier in the week.

It's become clear. The primary reason Tom chose to leave New England and that is, he just wasn't fulfilled winning in New England anymore.

He told Howard that he knew before the start of the year. He probably knew before the start of the year he was going to hit free agency and play somewhere else. Think about that. The timing of it. The patriots won the Super Bowl in 2018. Brady is coming off a Super Bowl win and that's when he decides he doesn't want to be a patriot anymore. It's not completely unprecedented. Kevin Durrant. He won a couple of titles with Golden State and probably would've beaten Toronto if Kd was healthy and didn't sustain the Achilles injury but he decided the leaf.

He's voiced it out publicly. Yeah, why would I stay there. If I'm not getting any of the credit for the success it's not good to benefit my legacy at all.

It's not can it benefit my image at all. My brand staying in Golden State playing great ball. He left a situation because he didn't feel he was getting enough credit and Brady's case there some of that they win a Super Bowl by only scoring 13 points and at the patriots are equipping them with many weapons.

I think the latter part of what I just said please and even bigger role the patriots not equipping them with a lot of weapons. He told Howard that there were wide receivers. He just didn't want to throw the ball to and we probably should us all the signs and made them more meaningful. Before the start of the year.

He restructures his contract to allow for them to be a free agent after this season that was strange.

Specifically, in the language the patriots current franchise tag on. He put his house up for sale so this backs up what Brady said this morning also. Sex. Successful people. They don't look backwards. Often they look ahead. They're not afraid to make mistakes.

So if you're one of those people who think why would Brady leave the patriots of Bella check where it's comfortable where he's a legend already where he's been successful. That's not how great people usually think great people look at situations and Tom said there were about 20 things. He looked at in his decision-making process, including how close to home as it Tampa Bay it's a 2 1/2 three hour flight to get to his family in New York City that probably eliminated the LA Chargers warm weather. He said that's a plus with Tampa versus Foxboro good players. The box they have better weapons the box. They have not a better line, but a pretty damn good line coach. Obviously the patriots have a great one but Brady was looking for the next step and Bruce Arians is a better coach than anybody else. I think that was seriously in the running for Tom so it wasn't Tom feeling scorned. It wasn't Tom hating Bill Bella check and they can't even be in the same room together any longer.

Now he just didn't feel fulfilled anymore winning in New England. It's like a marriage ending you might say, okay, why is this person in their 50s or 60s getting the divorce when you been together for 20 or 30 years. Why would you do that you've already been together this long those people would often say yeah that I wasn't happy I was and enjoying life the way I normally would. So I'm choosing being happy. I'm choosing the future. I'm choosing something else because I feel like whatever. Something else is it's better than where I was before. You are listening. The WSJ asked Winston-Salem W COG Greensboro WPC and Burlington WMF or Highpoint those signals making up sport subscriber good to be joined by North Carolina head football coach Mack Brown in 30 minutes.

Very excited about that really appreciates you listening and thanks you from the bottom of his twisted little congratulations he won over a complete imbecile drive with Josh grandma's Pforzheim triad.

There was news of the end of this week that I think is the Carolina Panthers a massive advantage heading into the NFL draft. We are 15 days away from the first round and it's going to be all virtual draft. According to the headline earlier this week saying that none of the team facilities would be opened up. It's going to be an open conference call between every team.

This is from the NFL network's Mike Guerra follow saying that this is the effort for the NFL to remain socially distanced from each other and that is how the draft is going to be conducted. Kind of like a fantasy football draft on my ears why it gives Carolina an advantage. The Panthers like every other team is going or going to have to rely on what they seen on tape more than any other year because you can't bring in people to work them out. You can't see what they are physically you can't see if this person is the physical fit. You want you can't test them out in your own facility so teams are good have to go off what they did in college whatever videos available for pro days, albeit a lot of Pro days were canceled in the month of March so this is going to be a great advantage for coaches that came from the college ranks. Why don't I like Matt rule Matt rule comes into the NFL and being in the big 12. He's dealt with a lot of these guys like he knows all about CD lamb. For example, at Oklahoma because he faced him, he faced the guys at Georgia so we knows who Jake from is facing them in a bowl game. His last game with Baylor if it's not Matt rule. How about Joe Brady, the SEC guys you think are to be taken in the first few rounds of time Joe Brady faced them with LSU had he coached many of them think that God knows about the Titan moss you think he knows exactly what he's getting there, having coach. The guy just in Jefferson, Jonesboro, you name it. These coaches having been in college have a greater understanding for who some of these players are and who they are not.

It's a strong wide receiver draft at the strong offense of tackle draft, particularly the first five defensive line. There are at the heart of cornerback.

These are needs for Carolina. Three out of the four so it's a draft that favors Carolina in terms of their needs. They have college coaches who have a better sense of the talent than the other NFL coaches and we saw last year, Cliff Kingsbury. He's in average college coach fired in the big 12 at Texas Tech. Despite having Patrick Bill Holmes at quarterback. I think he had it under 500 record with the homes at Texas Tech. He's paired with a GM that decided to move up into the top 10 in the 2018 draft take a quarterback than a year later trade that quarterback to take another with the number one pick that Steve time one of the worst, GM's and one of the worst organizations in the NFL. They still want to good replicas Cliff Kingsbury knows college players.

He gets it. Tyler Murray was a good pick became brothers my favorite wide receiver in the draft they got valid defense event at the Boston College is really good. A good value pick in the middle rounds. I think Caroline is good to do a good job because Matt rule and Joe Brady get it, is assisted and they can vouch for these players in ways other NFL coaches can't.

And on top of that Marty Hurley is a really good college evaluator is for top 10 packs. You can't do much better than Julius peppers Jordan Gross Luke Higley and cam Newton UK Carolina's last authentic was Krista McCaffrey.

They've knocked it out of the park when picking in the top 10.

So I believe Caroline is going to do that and it's not as good to be a first-round thing. I think they're going to do very well with the strap the same way I thought they made very good albeit difficult good business decisions and the rest of the off-season so far. Background North Carolina head football coach to join us in 10 minutes you could tweak the show at sports on triad 336-777-1600 is the phone number if you care to chime in that way, let's go to Mark and Greensboro who wants in on the show see were opening up the phone lines more here than we normally would because quite frankly, this is a time for us to connect more with the audience with the community here in the triad.

Mark what you got for us. You think think some of you got yet so go back to the 55 the number one and dealing with Mark Gottfried never like that is going to share something that every person there was also square years.

Years ago, middle, got out, but this happened about 2000 to 2003 whenever anybody needed money, you would just go to the assistant coach and you would get you somewhere between 200 and $500 you could do too much right over college that is personal and gave a Rick about what we were doing because a lot of you know were on TV.

We will have you know that the scholarship of guy we are all partials and so I just think it cracked me up because I didn't do that in PA. You know the situation and yet people worry about these called gospel players getting money under the table when it happened, all the music happened forever. Let me ask you this. Have you watch the scheme. The new HBO documentary about the Kristin Dawkins dealings. What really started the college basketball investigation. Yeah, I watched it about interesting about also interesting that they have him under federal investigation when he really wasn't breaking the law were just good to break and this is kind of the point. I hope that you're making here is that you receiving cash from an assistant tennis coach. It might be a violation might. It is a violation of NCAA rules just like receiving tattoos in exchange for jerseys like Ohio State did a few years after you were in school, but these are at. These are false you're not breaking laws.

They're not really doing anything wrong and I think public perception, it hasn't fully changed, but it is changing enough where I think if I had to guess, Mark more people are on your side. Vicki, what's the big deal while 1213 years ago. I think it would've been a totally different conversation right and you know, like, you know, I don't think I'm on the side of any university paying players but what I am on the side of it, even going back to my tuition.

There was a bunch of tennis clubs in the area. If you are a college tennis coach you could go in peace, tenant, and based off of your like that that you will because your Division I tennis player in the area. More parents would give you their kid and that's just the same way.

If you have local around here with any of it Caroline or Cukor with her weight for anybody. People can make money off their name. How much would a big by the equation, for cash or Stanley have made last year.

He could just go to go to local business and support their business local. What if Brandon Childress said hey don't be Dick's Sporting Goods and sign autographs for two hours right right yeah yeah affiliate, affiliate thing in. We really need to be adults about it in PA that are losing money off about the only thing you may see some of the major sport but you would be JIRA. Your AMP may lose recruits based off of. They want to go to a higher level school but yelp that's that's all a part of the free market that we live in a free market, provided we should be allowed to do that.

Thank you so much for the call Mark. It's good to hear from you.
