since you're close with both. What are the similarities
differences in? Traits have Kyle, Shanahan and Josh
McDaniels that make them so good, let's go really one
question, Chuck. Yeah, yeah, good one. Chuck over 74
McDaniel, they're both psychos.
Yep. In a good way in a good way. Exactly. Right and like
it's just all football the time just all football all the time.
Nothing else. McDaniel's is a more a little bit more of like
A robot, you know,
a hair more so soft-spoken,
you know. Shanahan's going to be a little bit more of like
I let the f*** you doing that's crazy. You gotta be better at
this and do that like be a little bit more loose and maybe
be able to coach and shoot the s*** with the pliers. At
the same time or McDaniel is going to be a hair more professional
where they're special
and we're both of them. Screwed events is over
is just that they're
there.
Not afraid to take chances and be creative and go away and
nobody runs this play, but I'm smart and I'm going to coach it
away. Don't worry. I'll make it work. Yeah, I just think this
can working as his demons. They're not afraid to take
chances
their systems, you know, are tried and true to where they
got answers for everything.
Their ability to understand, defense has to me as where
they're on another level from the rest of all. These are two
offensive coaches that could be defensive coordinators
that they They understand the exact rules not like, oh, cover
three. One guy rolls down and the other guy rolls back in
the middle.
They know the exact rules of like
if number two releases inside, then the Nickelback has to do
this, but if he goes outside, the Nickelback has to do that.
And now the linebacker has to read the nickel back and do
this off of it. They know all of those nuances, they could
coach defense.
So, that's where they're special.
And then, when they start to study you, they have
The ability to find, oh, when you get in these few formations,
they like to check to this the event or they play. These
defense has a lot more than any of the other defenses and then
they get you into those formations when the game comes
and they go. I know you're going to play these three or
four defense has
and I made 100 plays
to go over those three or four defense has, right? And now
you're in trouble. So that's where they are very special
Shanahan, maybe a little bit more.
Outside the box. Creative
guy. Hey, you go this way, you go this way and then we're
going to throw a screen to Debo Samuel and like, crazy stuff
like that. And I think maybe more creative in the Run game,
McDaniel's to me, his drop back, pass game is better.
His drop back, pass game is phenomenal. It has answers for
everything. And like you said, there's very little, like, we
talked about earlier, very little checks, they've come up
with plays that are like,
oh, we don't care if it's cover to cover for or any to safety
defense. This play works against them all. Right, and
that's where, you know, he they're very good that way
and, you know, have the checks to go along with it if they
have to or get into that type of game, McDaniels was head
coach in Denver in two thousand, nine ish didn't last
very long and I was there. Okay, you were there? I was
there. You were with them in New England, right? Right.
After that right ten years ago,
how do you think he's evolved the most since then? Yeah,
I talked about this with a little bit of the combine and I think
he's just realized about, you know, communicating around
the building,
you know, personal relationships with people. People
a little more important
than, you know, maybe he gave it credit for or maybe not to
just be so Cutthroat, and be like, it's my way or this way,
and that's it. Now I'm the head
coach. I think that's where he's he's grown realizing. The,
the people skills of the relationships are just as
important to the X's and O's and me being a machine and
finding the right ways to kill a defense.
