" Microphone close your mouth and start tossing in the red liked -- on. Yeah or that and a to review here how this thing works red light comes on we -- right correct I talk Jerry talk your talks touch presses the button and ease its not stupid -- right maybe RI out of luck meters he has the jumper and mears got a big role wouldn't say something's. Kathy Griffin initiate a real subtle. Nuance of I had a meeting at the substance on this I'm happy new year that there ego. To. -- there definitely got too late for happy. Me neither and I walked in together and we were like holes in each other up and all people awareness is like the wedding yeah that's -- that's similar very simple ones like she device covering well yeah and carefully your diskette yeah it is later -- and get movement because it's not. It is no snow but it's awful late ugly game everywhere and this is black ice with a -- black guys in the what grade -- we rights holding each other's game slide. And then I would Mexico and I -- and lose. Almost went down -- I I feel sorry for somebody this morning. One person in particular and -- appearance in the new year he's I don't authority and -- a hundred gases and you would not guests. Who I feel sorry for a jury has an idea an -- like feel sorry for this morning and belts -- I feel very sorry for for a for this man and his team there's -- This man this and his team yes. Puerto -- and I feel very sorry for Al Skinner and the Boston College basketball team. They knocked off number one North Carolina yesterday and -- nobody sees the end of it because that -- craps. And this morning nobody is going to talk about it because believe or not receive a bigger story and pulled at Boston College yeah."

" and moved to anyway but. -- fifth pick at the back page of the Boston girl league at the front of the sport's big headline yeah now remember in the Boston Globe yeah now on the national. National and what's the next door at Boston all of -- it cost -- that big story Boston college's who's the next football coach correct. Weakness the this story is strange developing and and developing and and meters and he's update -- as we speak yet -- a poet everybody always track everybody but if you haven't read this -- this year. -- equally well is threatening to fire. Jeff Jeff Gusinsky beat goes through with his plan to interview today with the New York -- yesterday now jags said no accent -- ago and while it might matter might be irreparable. All -- could become a toxic right now over the rights -- you know work on things that that -- oh it's so many coaches. It's always viewed as a stepping stone. Boston College in these guys always look for the next -- I would say all -- would you tell me when the Boston College coaches not been looking around. And if you -- Jack -- now. You talked him he regrets that he didn't look around that he stuck around because he had chances the only Corey could mean could've gone almost -- We're talking about it in viewing him and he's not like it here in the -- and a I think Tom O'Brien with -- first 56 years he wasn't looking at all mean I don't know North Carolina State I -- the -- it became unraveled but I -- think it is just that stupid job it is -- I mean I want to -- five job and I know and and lived -- guys they've done a great job -- among them that unbelievable -- we talked about it many. With the restrictions and limitations over there they actually have to go to class action after graduate if he had to wait they do everything the right they do -- it's remarkable it's the hard way. And that that it is tough. Which makes it look look at what what O'Brien and he went to North Carolina State you know like 'cause it's easier there. It's easier coach it's it is he's recruit there. It's easier to -- against easier wind there. It -- hasn't yet and I think I don't think it was a matter money he -- mistake here BC match over. And jags and ski in his back it was my it was always thank him. But the NFL correct."

" He'd like accused definitely intrigue. Are the nuts in the -- the story and that some questions answered form because I can't figure out either side. Boston College coach Jeff Ted Kaczynski has been told he will be fired. TV interviews for the head coaching vacancy with the New York Jets it's supposed to happen today. Despite threat from -- DGB Philippe oh -- isn't he plans to interview with the Jets the sources told Chris Morton's and in the event -- you -- Boston College will promote offensive coordinator Steve Logan. To head coach not necessarily keep keep keep people legal for told -- Hinske Saturday. That he will fire him. -- interviews and and he reinforced. The school's position on Sunday now. -- was reached last night by Steve Conroy. For the Boston Herald. And when reached for comment people people only say quote this is Jeff jag -- in skis initiative. And need to contact Jeff Jack Gusinsky. Not sure -- like this happens in the soap opera unfolds and and and it's royally and it's boiling in the toxic fumes coming out of a particular program. Because to -- after butting heads about a particular issue. It's generally. You pick one side the other I don't understand why either guy is -- witness I don't understand how -- been."

" I understand jeans and stay in the -- athletic directors around the country are standing and applauding its. Way to go -- whatever does this as ever maybe this is the line in the sand maybe he's. -- I gave him a break I gave him an opportunity win a lot of people didn't think. He was the right man for the job. Ultimately will be able -- Whipple I have the -- people and Whipple -- the chance subject Gusinsky and exigencies and a great job there's no question. -- on two years ago so clearly the commitment exits the game was for more than two years when I'm with them in might be. Five might beat and maybe forever I'm with you it's not going to be two years."

" Out of a guy how school years junior that's right yeah but he -- in football coaches. Every single winning football coach KG's earlier said has -- to some other prize and more often than not Bob stoops the you know everybody but Joe Paterno might think it's contacted Pete Carroll by other --"

" Quentin who is still not not enough not enough of a commitment to John most of his recruits having played. Mean. He's he's just emerged two years and and jeans and you gotta be kidding me that's I -- and give me enough. Time here enough of the commitment I mean O'Brien. A lot of people begrudge him along with -- year not finished ten year yes I mean he clearly was look and round after a few years but he spent ten years and you say good -- the it was nice little run movement on. When you take a chance on the guy annually gives two instances look --"

" The wrist on -- part two years okay fine but then -- New York today which we do think he's definitely go right to New York to -- Jets and that's really don't understand he's not going to get this job. Probably not probably he's not school to get this job. So he has he is risking. Being fired by Boston College having whatever that doesn't reputation good bad or different have that on his so called red -- For no operate or for an opportunity to interview for a job he has no chance to get so that he does survived -- to make some now. -- probable chip recruits somewhere. And Geoff Jenkins to -- and or or some Boston College recruiter walks in my -- come play for me at the height some might say and I don't know you're going to sniff around and I think that we're going to go next week or next iron out."

" Jags -- purpose was serve win the Jets called and they said the Jets in. The Mark Austin yeah Jets they called me and not interest at this I am very flattered. Get. Razors that -- A senior in in the conversation. Next maybe and maybe he uses views this as the ideal job and XOK. Now. The only ponson one of the main reasons my. Albers is okay Brett Favre that's insane because I'm not. Listening you don't wish nobody listens to his use that to reason that he's comin' back. He doesn't want to come back can be that I want about it and I can't whatever reason. Keep your in this last two weeks he comin' back. I can't wait for someone -- say they want to. Mean right. Back to the management. The players to this month's launch it says he and and you write the headlines. Last couple weeks in post. Story Woody's. -- via. And wood for Brett. But. It's an owner -- and then again it would. And maybe that's the case I think it is -- that he must the slept through that yesterday. The second he must have split their last 45 game right. Because missed all those interceptions does anyone think he's that gave her next yeah yeah was was a year all the aberration or was that a rising star -- well it was an -- The first break the Jets have gotten was. Which yesterday yeah thank god people the -- the exact quote. And and advance in the further with Pennington. The year anyone really. In fact that we want to box I don't think he's coming back but but even if you worm you think because he was often its equipment for one year in green."

" And have your relationship yes I'm sure there it would even if you -- coming back they're not -- they're going to build. This team going forward on the fact that Jeff Jack Gusinsky might be able to get little war out of Brett -- for what what I would. Play with that he -- reason that penalty that -- or not resolve those -- there's zero chance the jags in skis and get the job. I understand what you would want his name out there and -- a good point do you let people know she indeed legal finds out people or interest or sniff around eight total no not at the time out at Washington College."

" One thing that these guys do more than anything perhaps is. Tell these guys I can get -- in the and yes yes I am good at that arrest you know and that's why you guys go play for wherever they go play for whether it's. It used to be Miami announced -- Florida State floor. And compete counts the best that I can get cheat the NFL. And as long as you name it. Bandied about NFL circles. It sounds that you -- connection and it helps you recruit so it doesn't hurt you in recruiting at the jets' interest in you. But you're right if he's gotten a chance again in -- the point of the interviews you think he's going to."

" Home away both guys with and I like the ball and an open both do well no matter where they holiday ends up here. But they've taken a situation that could have been good and positive I think for Boston college and somehow and for whatever reason -- the part of turning to new answers meter. Turned it is something that's going to be bad for Boston College it just check isn't -- bat from Boston College is bad project -- it's it's bad for Giambi police ball if if Jeff -- stage it's bad for Boston College because recruits are looking at this. Could not yet Kaczynski have said thanks oh thanks I'm flattered I appreciate you think about the New York Jets on happier Boston college and even if he did one interview and -- looks at this and evaluate the fact he's not going to get the job. Which means that good interviewer or or don't interviewed us keep this quiet in an interview you're not going to get tired then come back -- the case may be. House any of that bad -- how."

" I think we've learned come to accept the fact that these calls coaches leverage. -- and if your team decency. And -- is. Known yet paying a lot of money. Q yeah I'm -- trying to get to recruits in best -- It got a great found dash at -- this in my face yet -- and and I think a lot of ladies would like to do you hear vote. Every college coach. But the good ones and -- and stoops these guys urban Meyer and solid citizens next and right. And I think the Philippe was just that -- you know -- reach that point yet. We you have that -- our second leverage and you can disco. Talk to whoever you want to talk to your mind but it's enough sum total cutting off her nose to spite your they're not going to get the job at jay knows he's not going to get the job. And X -- I'm going to go down in jail foresee that sports job that opened on the you -- you Jason you don't mind it was going to sniff you know always wanted to be NTV. -- under contract have a job and that job. Requires you complete devotion and commitment."

" If if he fires him -- you have any idea what the terms of the contract or that would blog this do that without paying him. I did I don't -- you know you do not enough complicated. And -- and a hell yeah I'm assuming is enormously joke is that -- firing interview with that with a NFL job says it is it is. Who's the boss. That generally I guess I can't see any. College coach coming in signing a new contract in his closet at that as an -- by the way if you interview with an NFL team I'm going to fire your grass I'm sure there isn't."

" I Aramis and you in the Al Davis with -- and it would give him an -- settled later when he -- lawyer's eyes -- put through the -- and he gets some of his money in all of his money. But he's -- it's one and get the Jets -- that one offensive coordinator. You know next Vanderbilt. -- start all means -- a good -- go on him if he wants Vienna does scientist on the way and Obama that coach jags in which he brought to goodness go to this great defense went back next year if he loses again Michigan. Find a quarterback eventually be right on your roster this."

" Seemed like since since this went from like zero degrees. To boiling. In about 48 hours. And so that makes me wonder is there are some other I don't irritation reflection of the relationship that you're aware Gator I'm not aware of any different -- you fly the plane with a guys. Are you -- are you there and sit. In front commitment that mark him well but. I am not aware of any friction -- very good relationship and allergies extremely. -- Jackson Harry can apartment and he came -- that this guy can doubt that for eight to ten years at Boston College as the guy who. I like to build my program. And do you have any given an occasional Jackson and happy here on nine. I know that -- enjoyed his NFL experience -- know that you really like herbs and NFL. I think he I think he has in the past yes I think he has in the I think added that Barrett. Now on the road it would not surprise me five years from York. The -- if that NFL -- came in Jackson you know abide it wouldn't surprise but that -- now this surprises."

" Maybe like recruiting -- BC's yeah it's it's. Article to just what if these days it just gotta help a lot harder yeah well. They care about Steelers to Oklahoma City that -- to address that after last night's win today got a strike guy yeah there well. So that was a whole. -- in the month span now. That's awesome. Piece -- eat nothing happens that we were away from the market -- side with the Yankees you like last year Johnson two years ago in part because one. Little phrase in one reports that -- he would. And actually wasn't as one reports the Boston Globe story no one's on this common. I'm talking about this and we never in each time we talked about it said the New York Yankees will be involved. He's going to -- incident just waiting. Why isn't so mysterious if you the Yankees you more money when you say. Scott we -- through yet almost. Who has little people get a dollar more just come back -- dollar and and that's what happened as I said. They waited they -- around and get involved. It slighted Texas gets a bath when you throw it to. Washington Baltimore and Boston. Collison will not get up and we will make a deal. You know he's close to -- the -- Baltimore. Winning he. And on the team that doesn't have a guy the proceedings on doing this with -- that whole damn time -- in -- oh. And nowhere and the New York Yankees and I'm not the only one we ripped New York papers all the time in New York Yankees were eating in the weeds. Economy and swoop in this year. I think we knew that and and get some people couldn't go -- wrote it was. Oh this game I don't know where. He's had no first baseman the best free agent on the market. All he wanted was the most money that's what we want the most money -- easy part but somehow the Yankees game. -- Oh god -- and I hope that lying in the weeds from enemy. I hope the way to the Giants that make them three in Ottawa or the option let's -- the same term guaranteed support here. Clearly Boris is going to call them before X intimate or. And if you line is -- to share the best freeze in the market switching when he curled first baseman who gold glove first baseman. Who on a team like the Yankees didn't. Stop at first. Clearly you were going to call. It boundaries and hundred -- done and if I'm okay Yankee surprised exactly as we expected. On full. With Manny when the subject Dodgers he's column on the Yankees were absolutely we go."

" What what school is way down bans on three years plus an option that you -- and your game on manager and the environment to the reds don't need amendment. Excuse the Sox needed mark to -- probably don't know him the highest guaranteed money in franchise history when he."

" more New York Boston. I'd just say hey guys like his -- Nick Swisher I don't even know -- Nick Swisher someone else first. And you know on the even -- that question mark big question mark the Red Sox had. Revenue -- the Red Sox didn't want Mark Teixeira that's it took for weren't -- media just change words from need to want desperately wanted to. They didn't need him the Yankees the way I can't -- more down the road well exactly and and and that's this is that they'll -- the pain -- happen next year the year after year after that when David Ortiz marches off into the sunset -- question they want him as much as they've won any free agent."

" In."

" Since when was them and they they really desperately want most interest in me -- to meet them the Yankees policy was simple just let us know when you get you big stuff for will. We want them is we're not going to -- Iran all acts -- it. Actually cover well okay let us know okay one and we won seven. Its fullest we'll get one picture I'm done and he doesn't have to deal with. -- three and added thing he would Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis and he gets to play in New York which is. But half an hour flight on the Baltimore or wherever -- white ones and we once ago. All that it almost into the cockpit and beat on the east coast make a lot of money playing on the winning team. -- all the requirements as we knew ball high."

" All right all eyes are -- Dennis and Callahan back together in the new year 617. Of 9850 toll free 888 by two vibes theory that they report here on espn.com. -- another bombshell that. The Patriots franchise -- that. Sent Adam --"
