Here we Go, it's our three fly and by It's the Hurd. Wherever you may be, however you may be listening. Thanks for making us part of your day. So Greg Berhalter, who I've supported, got fired after a disappointing performance at COPA as the men's coach United States men's national team. We fire our coaches. We blame our coaches. Won sixty nine percent of his games, best winning percentage ever for somebody that's coached at least twenty games. And people say, hey, but our players are so much better. They're playing over in Europe. Yes, but are they in their athletic prime? Who Lissic has just entered his prime. We're still really young. We were one of the youngest World Cup teams that got into the round of sixteen draw with England and then just overwhelmed by the Netherlands. But the fact that this team played poorly in Copa now, I argued earlier Jordan Copa. Our talent now is more European. We like to play faster and wider, and Copa's fields are narrower and shorter like in the NFL and college football hash marks in different places, Olympic Hockey rings, NHL rings, difference in size. Copa was not built for us. Not an excuse, it's a reason now when we got a red card against Panama and played a man down, that didn't help. And I do think there's an argument to be made that this team did not create enough high level scoring opportunities relative to do our skill. But I think some of that is the game in which we played a man down. You tend to play just more defensively, right. You look for opportunities, but you're not going to be aggressive playing a man down after the red card. And I really, and this is not an excuse, I like our skill. But if I was talking about this in my pod yesterday, if you look at baseball, football, basketball, the championship teams, the Celtics are a great example, have a majority of their best players Derek White, Tatum and Brown in their prime. Porzingis late prime, but prime. If you go to the NFL, you stuts. Why say the San Francisco forty nine ers be careful a lot of dudes if they're out of their prime. Now you're asking a lot. Are you in your prime? When the Rams won? Stafford Prime, Aaron Donald late prime, Cooper cup prime, Von Miller late prime, that's how you win. This team has a bunch of guys who are just not quite yet. Pholisic has entered his prime early. He's got our seven years a bit. But we're not great yet. We have a potential in two years to be really special. I like, I think this team at the World Cup can make a real impact. Joining us live Alexi Lawless on the firing of Greg Berholter. So is this a fair criticism that?

So is this a fair criticism that?

Wow, Colin you are you are a glutton for punishment, My friend, you've been around. I was listening to your pod yet last yesterday, and you also talked about the well, how should we say it? The elitism and the snobbery and the gatekeeping that American soccer does, and how dare you go and defend Greg Berholt? They are going to come for you and your family. My god goodness, wow oh wow.

The elitism and the snobbery and the gatekeeping that American soccer does, and how dare you go and defend Greg Berholt? They are going to come for you and your family. My god goodness, wow oh wow.

So I'll start with a criticism, is that, considering our skill level where our best players are in Europe many flourishing, that we want a more aggressive style and that we didn't create a lot of success sessive offense, dynamic offensive opportunities that jumped off the matches. For me, we're not quite as dynamic as I want. Is that a fair criticism?

Sure?

Sure?

I mean, and you mentioned the expectations given this this group, and you're absolutely right to point out the fact that we took a very young group back to the World Cup, which by the way, happened on Greg Burholter's watch. But the promise that Greg Burholter and this team have kind of made with us is that we are going to see things that haven't been done before and that has not come to fruition. And maybe in Greg Burholter's mind that was going to culminate in twenty twenty six, but ultimately, in the games that he has won, he can't point to one where we are beating and bettering the elites of the world, and that's ultimately what this was about. So I understand you know where you're coming from relative to the criticism that Burhlter has taken. But ultimately it's about winning and so all the other stuff that we talk about, and you talk about this in sports all the time, it's about winning. And I have no doubt that had that red card not come and the US had gone through and beaten Panama or even tied Panama, that eventually they would have gone through into the knockout rounds and Greg Borhulter would still be the coach. But they didn't, and we can say this is the blame. And we can't fire the entire team, obviously, but we can fire the coach. And I think most importantly right now is that twenty twenty six is too important. It's the most important summer in American soccer history and we cannot afford to waste it. And I think right now Greg Burholter is divisive and we need to be united. We need to be together. Whether it's his fault or not, to be quite honest with you, is irrelevant. We need somebody there. I want somebody that is bigger than life. I want somebody that I can believe in and that makes us believe in the coach and this team going forward into twenty twenty six, and that was not happening right now, and so I think they had to make the change.

So I had said this at the last World Cup, although I thought just getting the draw of England and getting out of the group stage in itself was fairly remarkable considering the youth of this team. They were I think second youngest team or one of the youngest teams. Yep, that excuse won't stick, but there is something that's missing. And I don't want to throw out any cliches, but there does appear to be a lack of grit. I thought in the last World Cup they needed an Alexi Lawless or a Clint Dempsey, a borderline, inappropriately physical kind of just a guy that's almost annoying, not always perfectly Clint Dempsey co coach of All Clinton could be a lot for Bruce Arena, and I think they miss it. And as I watched this team, even if they're more talented and more European in style, it does feel like, what is it that we can't create a kind of chip on the shoulder grittiness that I see with these brilliant Argentinian teams or these teams that have the skill overseas, but they also bring a toughness. Is do I sound like an American football dope or is that something that you use. No, you don't sound like a dope.

And I think it's it's almost a human condition, right because you know, for example, when you know when somebody you know in business is successful, sometimes they will grow and they will change in the way that they act, in the way that they are affected, in the way that they dress, in the way that they live their life. And sometimes in doing so, they will lose ultimately what made them successful in the first place. And I think in our desire to become more refined, our desire to evolve as a soccer playing nation and as a national team, it has made us do things that we haven't done in the past and attempt to play in ways that we haven't done in the past. And that's commendable. But what it has done also has made us lose some of the stuff that has made us, you know, maybe not uniquely American, but certainly American over the years. And you talk about some of that, that ruthlessness and that aggression that is absolutely on display right now in Copa America and some from some very good teams. If you look at the Uruguays and the Colombians, yes, yes they have the skill, and yes they have the the the even the romance at times in terms of how they play. But there is also an incredible dog and there is also incredible and if we if we lose that, then I do think that's a problem. And so marrying those two with a more evolved approach to play, but also with you know, a like I said, a dog and a and a and a and a grit or all the words, all the cliches that you said, where you know, almost like the you know, obscenity from the Supreme Court. I know it when I see it, right, And you know what when you see it in all sports including.

Soccer, give me. I see the names bandeed about Liverpool and you get and I think to myself, well that's a pretty good gig. Are we are we overly optimistic and hyperbolic in our pursuit of the next coach? Is there a perfect style or manager for us when we go? You know, listen, I love the idea that swing big. Are we realistic on our potential choices?

Are we realistic on our potential choices?

I think we are?

I think we are?

I mean as we're as we're you know, as we're doing this, news is just broken that evidently Jurgen Klopp, who a lot of people had talked about and that certainly is swinging big, maybe as big as you can get other than Pep Guardiola, you know, has said he wants time away and he's you know, has said thank you, but no thank you when it comes to the US, and there's plenty of other other names out there that are big, that are going to cost a lot of money, doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to be successful. And I think there is this this feeling that with twenty twenty six and not wasting the stage and the platform that is twenty twenty six, you know, go big or go home and do some things that we haven't been done in the past. And a lot of times we equate that with money, and we equate that with notoriety and big name types of things. It doesn't have to necessarily be a big name, it doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of money. But I think what I say Soccer Federation has come out and said very clearly is that money is it's not no. But if there is somebody big that is going to cost a lot out there that wants to do it. More importantly, they will find the money, so that's not holding the US back. But regardless, this has to be a higher for the next two years. This has to be somebody that comes in and says, look, these are the players and either you're gonna coach them up right, and you have to coach them up individually and collectively. And if they don't have what you want, then you got to get rid of them and find somebody else. But that's gonna be very, very hard in just two years. And to your point, I think a lot of these players are very very good. They have plenty of pedigree when it comes to where they are playing, but they are not living up to their potential. And so whoever comes in for two years, I don't care what happens behind the scenes. I don't care about your Kumbaya dynamic. I don't care about ted talks or anything like that. But I do care that you are able to inspire this group and in turn inspire me and all of the American soccer fans out there to say, yeah, I'm gonna follow this person because this person has taking us to the promis Land and it's gonna give us the best chance of doing something big and doing something that we haven't seen before. Come the summer of twenty six.

Was it was a huge transition to be had. So, you know, trying to stay stationary. I wanted to be on one team for my whole career. That was a big, you know, thought process of going through it. So so just being able to be stationary was huge for me. I didn't want to be up and moving and have to figure out a whole other team, whole another system, whole an other city.

Yeah. So last five year, last six games, Trevor was all beat up. Everything was banged up, a calf, a shoulder. Uh, it was. It was a rough sledd at the end of last year. Was it rough on the locker room? Was what's it like to be a talented team picked to win a division and it just unravels at the end of the year. What was that locker room.

Like, I mean for us man not we've never been in that situation before. I know for me personally, guys, you know, we had guys that played around the league, that played on different teams, but the core guys that been there have never been put in that situation. The year before, you know, a couple of years before, we've won one game, three games, and then Doug coach Peterson comes and we find a way to win seven straight, eighth straight to get into the playoffs. That's the first time we've ever experienced that. Then then last year we started off, you know, started off hot and then it off slow. It was like, we've never experienced that. So how do we figure out and fight through that? And I think this year we've experienced winning, we experienced losing, we experienced you know, losing fourth straight, five straight, winning file four and five straight when it's important to win. So I think right now we have the we have the battle experience.

Great stuff from Josh, and congrats on the new deal. My man. The Giants handed Jared Goff a massive four year extension, calling this offseason two hundred twelve over four. They have their franchise quarterback going forward with golf. Last season, Sam laportees at the record for receptions by a rookie tight end and he spoke to his quarterbacks consistency in the building.

You're gonna have good and bad days in the NFL, just the nature of the game and how competitive this league is. But he shows up every day, he works, and he sets the example when he sets the tone in the building. And to be able to follow him in the example that he sets for this organization, it's it just trickles on down from there or really really amazing. So happy for him and his extension and you know his security here in Detroit for another couple of years.

Colin, I know you've always liked Jared Goff. I don't know who throws a prettier ball. What's the next step for him? And Sam Laport obviously one of the great rookie seasons of a.

Colin, I know you've always liked Jared Goff. I don't know who throws a prettier ball. What's the next step for him? And Sam Laport obviously one of the great rookie seasons of a.

I think the next I think he's accomplished the next step. So he already got to a super Bowl in LA, but the next step was, Oh, is it McVeigh or is it you? Okay, it wasn't just McVeigh. This is the second coach, So the next iteration of Jared Goff has been accomplished. He wasn't just a McVeigh. And by the way, Sean's great, but I think there was a lot of people that said, well, this is Sean thing. No it's not. He went to a losing franchise where Matt Stafford didn't win this much. Sure, now he got a better front office, the coach works. But I think Jared Goff has absolutely validated his number one pick. I got a Super Bowl turned around two franchises. That's a number one pick. You don't have to win a Super Bowl? Are you a guy I can build my franchise around. He's two for two.

I think they have the second best roster in the league, and just.

I think they have the second best roster in the league, and just.

The offensive line alone tremendous. So if you can keep Jared Goff up right, We've seen he is an on time thrower. He's really accurate. I think Detroit. I know it's gonna be a they're gonna be hunted, but I think Detroit actually upside wise, he's gonna take another another step offensively, at least this season. The Jags started off eight and three. We just had Josh on early contenders for the AFC's number one seed, and so Trevor Lawrence got banged up and Jacksonville finished the season one and five. Heading into the season, Doug Peterson, the head coaches, the team will use their late collapse as motivation.

Let me think.

Let me think.

I think Jacksonville is gonna win the division, and I think Houston is going to be a tight second. I think Indianapolis is going to be fascinating, but I don't know. I have to watch them. I think the Titans are a fourth place team. I think the Titans if I think that the story in that division, because every every team's got an interesting narrative. I think I think Tennessee's narratives can will leve us play and will know by Thanksgiving if he can. They got their guy of not Dan. The Raiders and the Giants will be drafting quarterbacks next year at the top of the draft.

I'm in on Levis, I'm in on Richardson, I'm in on Strouded, I'm in on Lawrence. Every quarterback in that division is enticing to me. But I think Jacksonville next season healthy, the defensive line, really strong, good receivers. I like it to Team USA basketball, where we saw the US get out to a slow start against Canada before taking home the win last night. Carmelle Anthony was recently asked who he thinks the starting five should be, and surprisingly, he believes they should go with a young lineup of Halliburton, Anthony Edwards, bam Adebayo, Jason Tatum, and Devin Booker. Mellow added that he thinks Lebron, step and KD should contribute. But off the bench what on the bench?

Lebron still Lebron in this tournament will be the first, second or third best player. Steph Curry will be the first, second or third best player. You're not bringing those guys off. You're not starting Bam out of by you and bringing Steph off the bench and Lebron off the bench.

I do you said? Embiid though sometimes inverting the floor.

Look, Embiid is a is a tough Okay, he's a tough Bam. I mean Embiid sometimes screws the flow up. I feel Embid. I understand he's great talent.

He holds the ball a little bit.

I think sometimes he did it in Philadelphia. That's why give Max he the ball, let him run the offense. And on this team, I don't need embiid on the perimeter I see.

I think the biggest question marker and maybe even surprise, would be if Edwards ultimately starts And what does that do for d book? What does that do for Jason Tatum? Because at the end of the day, we all believe this team's gonna want to go medal, but eagles do have to be sacrificed. And when you have arguably the greatest or second greatest point guard of all the time in Steph Curry, what does that mean for him? So Edwards to me is the arguably the most interesting guy here because he has the most upside.

We've been very lucky over the last several days that we've had a lot of pro football players in Los Angeles for Espi's, which is in downtown Los Angeles. And one of the young guys we had is Jalen Johnson, who is out of Utah, grew up in Fresno, played at Utah, has come into Chicago and is a absolutely knock it out of the park corner and we talked. So he was at that OTA for Caleb Williams, somebody I defended multiple times on the show. I know Caleb well enough to know I thought he was super confident. I don't think he's cocky. I thought all the criticism on the fingernail polish is just nonsense and waste of time. But I did ask, you know, Jalen his early impressions of this usc the first nil star in college. His impressions initially on Caleb.

His impressions initially on Caleb.

He's a confident guy in hisself on the field, off the field. I think it's one of those things where he's very secure and who he is. He's very confident and knows the work that he puts in to be able to have that confidence. And at the end of the day, I mean, he's the winner, He's the guy that got drafted number one, So I don't feel like he shouldn't have confidence at the end of the day. I think it's one of those things that he embraces and he walks in who he is as as a player who he is as a man. I think that's something that seeing him in person, and he blended in right right away with the with the locker room, with the guys, and that's only going to continue to grow. But I think he's came in and handled everything perfectly. Just come in and work in, coming in and jailing with the guys, the offense. You can you can see everything coming together how it's supposed to be.
