Transcript

00:00I want to ask you quickly about Dan Campbell, someone that I think like, no, probably can't

00:05win given the Lions won a million regular season games last year.

00:09Now with Aiden Hutchinson out, if the Lions end up having a massive regular season, they're

00:154-1 right now, we detailed before the year, like almost 14 of 17 games indoors.

00:20Let's say Detroit goes 14-3, which would mean the rest of the way they would go 9-2 without

00:27Aiden Hutchinson.

00:29Is that enough to get Dan Campbell potentially over the finish line for coach of the year?

00:35I'm going to go ahead and say no.

00:36Now I'd like to see what the other candidates did as well, but the favorite outcome is that

00:40Washington's probably going to make the playoffs.

00:42If the commanders make the playoffs and it's like, let's say it's 10-7 Dan Quinn versus

00:4614-3 Dan Campbell, I think Quinn would actually beat him.

00:50Now at 14-3, I think that might eliminate our guy KOC because clearly that means he

00:55doesn't win the division, which it's still an amazing feat, but it does bring him back

00:59down a little bit.

01:00I think O'Connor probably needs to win the division to win the award.

01:03But if it's 14-3 Campbell versus 10-7 Quinn or 11-6 Quinn, I think Washington and Quinn

01:09would win the award.

01:10So Campbell, I think 15 is where you want to be hitting to feel good about your bet,

01:13which means he can only lose one time the rest of the year at price.

01:16I wouldn't bet.

01:17Do you think Jeff Ulbricht can win coach of the year?

01:21I don't think so.

01:22I know people have been betting it.

01:23Maybe they lost on Monday.

01:24Yeah, like they lost on Monday.

01:25Like, come on.

01:26His price shortened, by the way.

01:27I bet him GM.

01:28I don't know who's betting it.

01:29Whatever.

01:30Good luck.

01:31But I don't see it happening.
