00:00 Most of the time a head coach loses a Super Bowl fans might be upset say something like I'll get a new head coach
00:04 But no one's available at this point thing is
00:07 this guy who has six Super Bowl wins as a head coach and a couple more as a coordinator is
00:13 Available wants to coach names bill Belichick kind of well-known might be the greatest head coach of all time one of them
00:19 And he's around
00:22 Should the Niners should the Niners get bill Belichick I
00:29 Thank You Kyle
00:31 This up. Mm-hmm a month not as a coordinator as a coach. I brought this up as a coordinator a month. Okay, okay
00:39 We were both standing right there shoulder-to-shoulder when Jed talked to the media a couple weeks ago
00:47 He was gonna be happy even if they lost Detroit
00:51 He loves Kyle and John Kyle and John just got extensions Kyle and John are going nowhere
00:58 Hold on. I'm not asking what Jed would do. I'm asking what Jed should do. That's a different question. I
01:03 Actually don't think that I would bring in but I don't think Belichick
01:09 wants the personnel control which she did a terrible job with or
01:15 anything to do with offensive football, which he did a terrible job with I
01:20 And you have Shanahan and you have Lynch and they have a great relationship with bill Belichick
01:25 And there's no rules about what you pay your assistant coaches. So hell yes, there's no way
01:31 Great but saving that say he's like no, I'm not gonna be a coordinator. Would you bring him in as a head coach and
01:39 Reply and say Kyle. Thank you very much. You built this team. You've done so much. You're not gonna get us over the hump
01:44 We're moving on like the Bucks did from Tony Dungy going to our our John Gruden. His name is bill Belichick. Sorry
01:50 I would not bring him in as a head coach
01:52 I would bring him in would as an assistant head coach a defensive consultant or the defensive coordinator
01:59 But he's not coming in once he's a head coach. I'm sorry. I disagree. Actually. I personally think he just wants a big fat check
02:05 I don't think bill Belichick's about those that I think he wants to take
02:09 I would think he wants to be the winning his head coach of all time. He's like a few wins away
02:13 I don't think that's his deal
02:15 I think he's really wants to go bill Belichick ever ever comes back in the league is anything other than a head coach
02:21 I will buy you a hundred fifty dollar bottle of whatever wine you want
02:25 I will drive it to your front door is not happening Larry
02:28 You can throw whatever kind of money you want. So if it's 100 200 $200 bottle of wine, whatever you want this
02:37 Confident I am I'm not even asking for anything in return. I'll just give it to you
02:40 So tell me why you wouldn't replace Kyle as that's because this is the conversation I want
02:46 Why would you're gonna get a bottle of wine if you're right?
02:48 Why do you not want Belichick as the head coach of the scene?
02:51 Because I think that the head coach of the team's got to do media responsibilities. He's terrible at it. He hates it
02:58 He also usually is gonna have some kind of final say on personnel. He's not good at that
03:03 He's his game is really as a defensive X's and O's master and his real game is he's a he's a
03:12 Defense he's Ray Rhodes 25 years later. He's a defensive backfield
03:18 Genius and they had the seventh bestie this year. The Niners had the eighth bestie
03:23 They had a better defense this year in New England than the Niners T and the Niners have six good
03:28 young defensive backs that need to be developed and you don't and you can pay him whatever you want and I think the Niners need a
03:37 significant pivot to
03:40 Basically tell everybody that they're new and improved and Belichick would be the perfect
03:45 Perfect way to do that and I know it's not Wilkes and Wilkes. Nessn't necessarily
03:50 It's not necessarily Wilkes had a bad game, but they still did drive the length of the field against your defense in overtime
03:58 So it's like Wilkes was awesome. They he was okay, and they didn't have green law
04:04 But Belichick I think would develop those DB's
04:07 All right, then let's bring him in as a head coach. Here's the thing with Belichick. No, I don't want it
04:12 Like he he had to rebuild the Patriots. He did a terrible job
04:15 He doesn't have to rebuild the 49ers
04:17 He has to win one Super Bowl with him then he can retire and go away forever
04:21 And the team's ready to go you have a hell of a defense. I think it'd be a pretty good situation for him
04:28 He wouldn't have to find a new quarterback. He might be able to win with Brock Purdy
04:31 He won with Tom Brady who was a game manager according to Cam Newton
04:34 I think he probably want to coach the team
04:36 I think it would probably inspire a lot of confidence in the locker room and the you have a guy who's won the Super Bowl a
04:42 million times
04:43 That's the whole thing
04:45 He would not if he had it if Bill Belichick had a 10-point lead in the Super Bowl
04:49 They could he probably win with this team. I don't know. I
04:52 Don't see how you don't at least have lunch with them if you're Jed York and say hey, what's your vision?
04:57 If you if you were the coach of this team, what would you do differently than Kyle?
04:59 I want to know but you know
05:01 You got to remember this Kyle and and Belichick and Shanahan and Lynch have great relationship
05:08 which is why I think he can work as an assistant, but it's not gonna work it as as
05:14 You know Kyle's demoted or Kyle's fired. I don't think that I don't think that's gonna work. This is what it's like
05:21 This is what it's like to me remember in 2020 they lose the Super Bowl everyone understands it's Jimmy's fault very much
05:27 Tom Brady's available and people are like, oh should we switch from Jimmy Garoppolo to Tom Brady? Like it's a tough decision
05:34 People say well Jimmy's younger. He's still improving Tom's old
05:38 He's washed and they stick with Jimmy and Tom Brady wins a Super Bowl with Tampa
05:42 It's just not similar to that like, okay, Kyle's young. He's improving. Is he improving Bill Belichick's washed?
05:48 I don't know like if you gave this roster to Bill Belichick, I think he wins Super Bowl
05:53 That's what I'm trying to say. This is the best roster in the league. Everyone says that
05:56 Best roster in the league and Kyle couldn't win the Super Bowl with the best roster in the league
06:00 I think Bella Bella chicks won Super Bowls without the best roster in the league
06:03 Yeah, but there's a lot of talk that that I mean first of all Bella chick last two years was not good
06:08 Second of all, he would hired defensive coaches to run his offense
06:12 They drafted Mack Jones in the first round they feuded and they're now gonna trade him
06:18 Even if he had stayed in New England, they still would have wanted him to pick in
06:23 An offensive coordinator, so he's not going anywhere unless there's a big-time offensive coach going with him
06:31 And you want Josh McDaniels?
06:34 I don't I'd rather hire shit
06:36 I'd rather keep Shanahan and give Bella chick ten million dollars a year to be the DC for a year
06:40 And even if he wasn't the DC even if he was just the defensive czar in charge of your oh my god
06:49 Your defensive coordinator. Let's say you brought in variable Larry and you said him he'll variable you could be the DC
06:55 I
06:57 Personally think I think you're reading bill wrong. I don't think that he wants that that head coaching right?
07:03 I think he wants another ring and I think he wants just coach T
07:06 I know that it's I know that it's he's not gonna be an assistant coach. He will die
07:16 Before he's an assistant coach again, but let's let's it's not like this has never happened
07:22 Bill Walsh coach Stanford after he was done coaching the Niners and he came back as a 49er assistant general manager
07:30 After he had won three championships
07:33 You know the father of the forward pass
07:36 Was Gil hat I was what came back as the Eagles quarterback coach and coach Steve young with the LA Express
07:44 You look at
07:47 Ozzie Newsome Ozzie Newsome's the best GM in football the last decade. He's I bumped into him in the press box
07:53 I said Ozzie what's going on man? Who you working for? He's like I'm still here. I'm a personnel consultant
07:58 Working under Eric da Costa
08:02 This is a guy and and so why I'm sitting there going why why would these guys do this?
08:07 They do it because they're so respected. They they're so old and they don't want to commit to the hours
08:14 He wants the hours Larry he wants it he just he just interviewed for these jobs. He wants to be a head coach
08:20 He just interviewed for these jobs. They didn't want him. Yeah, why is the Niners?
08:24 Why didn't they want him?
08:27 Because a lot of these places you need to rebuild. He didn't do a good job rebuilding that Patriots team
08:32 You don't have to rebuild here
08:33 You just have to win one Super Bowl with the ready-made best roster in the league that Kyle Shannon hasn't been able to win with
08:39 Bella's chick might be able to do it consider. He's done it before it's worth talking to him
08:43 You know, I mean
08:45 Coordinator is it freaking Bill O'Brien? No, we don't want you. We don't want you but if it's I don't know
08:52 What if it's Matt Patricia?
08:54 Cuz that was hell no, let's say thanks very much. Enjoy lunch. Hope you like this lobster
09:01 Roll never talk to you again, but I'd like to know
09:03 What's his plan?
09:06 Cuz what's Kyle's plan? How is he gonna what's he gonna do differently next year? I was
09:12 If bill Belichick were the head coach he'd want Kyle Shanahan as his offensive coordinator, okay, he would
09:18 Maybe maybe bill Belichick goes to lunch with Jed and says, you know what Kyle's better than me. Don't hire me
09:23 How's better you may be making a big mistake stick with Kyle?
09:26 Okay, good. No, thanks
09:28 Or he'd say I've she I would have beaten chiefs in that Super Bowl with this roster. This is how I would have done it
09:34 This is what I done would have done different differently than Kyle Kyle went empty backfield 15 freakin time this guy wouldn't done that
09:39 I would have sticking 21 personnel. I
09:41 would have deferred in over I
09:43 House finding ways not to win Super Bowls with the best roster in the league at a certain point
09:50 It's not it's not unfair to look around
09:54 It's not unfair. No, but do you get the sense that Jed is in any way close to that? No
10:00 But that's his fault
10:03 Daddy would be hold on if Eddie were the owner of this team
10:06 He wouldn't sit down with he wouldn't go out to lunch with bill Belichick. I mean it'd be in secret
10:11 He'd do it. I
10:13 Mean Eddie Eddie did all these things. I mean, let's be honest. He was the one who brought in Ray Rhodes
10:19 He was the one who brought in Mike Shanahan. He was the one who you know demanded that those guys, you know have
10:26 Premier guys, I mean the Niners had premier players. They had premier coaches premier players. They lost home grin
10:33 They said you know what bring in Mike Shanahan
10:35 Shanahan was a coach a year late head coach a year later, you know, Eddie never did ever
10:41 lose a Super Bowl
10:43 You
10:45 (upbeat music)
