Dudes on Dudes is a production of iHeartRadio. Hello, everyone. This is a production of heart radio. Hello everyone. This is a special surprise Wednesday episode. And today is no other than the great coach, Bill Belichick's birthday. Happy birthday coach. Legend best NFL coach ever. Now the head coach of a college football program. North Carolina.

A mediocre college football program that they are suspecting him to take to the next level. And University of North Carolina should be at the top of one of the best division one college football programs out there. Beautiful campus, beautiful stadium, beautiful geography, green trees, the Carolinas, great weather, beautiful women, beautiful men. Just everything's beautiful about a beautiful, the university of North Carolina.

But over the last, know decades the University of North Carolina football program has been just subsidized you know it's just been average it's not like you hear about them being in the top ten they produce some great players like Drake May but this is why they hired coach Bill Belichick to bring them to the promised land and now it's his birthday. So we're promising him a happy celebration for his birthday. Let's sing to him. Jules, happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you. You should have gave me more money. But happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. I'm sorry, I just took from that your birthday singing to Coach Balachek is that you will not be giving him a present because still in your mind, he still owes you a lot of money.

He owes me a whole lot of money still. I understand, I wouldn't give him a single dime either if I were you. No, I love Coach, I just fuck with him with that whole thing. I know that's what we got to do. You got it. You got it. What would you give him for his birthday?

When I was playing for him, a touchdown. Couple TDs? Yeah, couple TDs. But too bad his birthday is April 16th and not during the season, Julian. We would always, I remember like OTAs you'd always Always kind of remember it was his birthday because the media would bring it up member like a passing camp or something It was usually like the that's like the first week of OTAs or something mm-hmm it always have a little spark of Bill's birthday And he'd have a shit-eating grin towards the media, and just his little whip of his whistle, walking around knowing it's his birthday.

Fucking old coach. Like, to the media, it's my birthday, but don't ask me anything today. That's probably what he'd want for his birthday. No questions from the media, even though he's a media butterfly now. He was like a caterpillar when he was in the NFL. And then all of a sudden he just blossomed

and now he's a media butterfly. Now he's a butterfly. Yeah, that's a good point. I like where you went with that. Holy crap. That was a good one, Rob. What was the best birthday gift you ever got? Oh, a bike.

You know, it was when I was a child. I loved biking around, but I was always using my brother's bikes and they had a mountain bike and I always stole it from them. And then my birthday came and I got a bike. It was the best gift I could have possibly gotten. And then growing up as a kid, I mean, I biked everywhere. I was probably biking, you know, 10 miles a day on average to my friend's house that were all over the neighborhoods,

you know, to this grocery store, wherever. I just loved biking so much that when I got my first bike It was the best birthday gift ever dude. I agree with you a million percent. I got my specialized fat boy I actually redid it up in its I remember going to the bike shop and There was a certain amount of bikes that I could pick from because there was a certain amount of money There's the one I wanted I want a GT interceptor Those were like the sick bikes. They're too expensive My dad wouldn't let me well

So I got this specialized fat boy and I got it over in like the blimp pile Where they have a dent in it or something? There's something not manufactured to code for on the bike So it was like 30% off so I got like the sickest blimmed bike they had, and it was Specialized Fatboy, and now my daughter, I got that on my birthday, my dad went and got that, I was so excited, now my daughter's riding it, and she fucking loves it, it's so fucking cool. You know, it's crazy, like I ride,

we're driving in the car, and my daughter, Lil, she'll see kids riding their bikes to school and stuff, she's like, oh my, because it's not, not a lot of people out here do it. Like when you were saying you rode around everyone on your bikes, I was going to other cities on my bike. We were, when we were 12 years old, we were fucking rolling around our cities on our bike,

like miles, like I have an eight-year-old now like when I was eight I was probably going to like San Carlos I would never let her go anywhere never but you know but she's so infatuated with like kids riding their bikes to school I feel like it's almost kind of like it's it's dying at least from what I see in the areas that I'm in in Los Angeles I don't see kids riding their bikes to school Locking it up. There'd always be a boatload of bikes at this school member Well nowadays you got the motorized bikes which oh

Little Sierrano those are great just to go for a cruise. I can't lie. I got a rad power bike in Tampa It's just the best I cruise around just everywhere on it I even go to my workouts on it and then then you also got like the mopeds and like the scooters that are electronic as well. No one really rollerblades as well anymore. Rollerblading was kind of cool when we were growing up and getting a new fresh pair of rollerblades for your birthday was super cool.

But rollerblading kind of, you know, fatted away as well. I mean, the bike industries, I feel like is way more booming than rollerblading. Yeah. But rollerblading was cool. It got those glutes going. You know I want to rollerblade against you know thinking about it.

That'll be a good workout. You were a hockey kid like that was different. Like Northeast, but you guys are, I didn't roller, I didn't really roller. You didn't? You gotta try it out. I skateboarded. Dude I'm telling you.

I tried to. You got a rollerblade. Ah you're a skateboarder. That's kind of the same thing. I was a jock that hung out with skateboard kids that could do like a kick flip one in seven times. And like I could do a heel flip probably one in four times, but I hung out in the skate community,

but I couldn't skate. I'm a skater. Like I used to have the roller blades. You're a blader. I was a blader. You're a brink. And I love playing. From Disney Channel.

You love that movie, Brink? Never seen it. Yeah, dude, let's go. I was a blazer brink and I love playing from Disney Channel. You love that movie brink never seen it Yeah, dude, let's go. I was a mighty ducks. Oh, I love I was a mighty ducker What was crazy is I got to meet Kenan Thompson before in like in the last year and I just thought it was super cool Cuz he was the knuckle puck guy. Yeah He's still on SNL that guy's been on that cell for like 30 years Legend and he was also in heavy puck guy. Oh man. He's killing it. He's still on SNL. That guy's been on SNL for like 30 years. Legend. And he was also in heavyweights. Like he's on a low key.

He's like on some Cal Ripken shit. Usually child actors. I mean, look at Goldberg. I seen some mud shots of Goldberg. It's not looking good for old Goldberg. You know, and he was in a bunch of those movies too as a young kid. Goldberg was the goalie, right? Yeah, he was goalie.

He was good though. I liked Julie the Cat. Oh, Julie the Cat with the glove save. Glove save. Because Lily likes Julie the Cat. The cool thing about Mighty Ducks is, and even though they were made years ago, they still had a girl in there.

Which when you have a little girl, like they always gravitate towards the girl characters. I mean, rightfully so. But like a lot of the movies like Sandlot, No Girl. Like a lot of these like sport movies. But like then you look at Inside Out 2, little girl go to hockey camp, so she fucking loves it. So I don't know.

What about Johnny Tsunami? Was there asunami. There was a couple girls in there. He had a love interest. Yeah. Love Johnny Tsunami. We're gonna go through some of the reasons why Bill Palachuk is the greatest coach of all time. Let's get into it. Yeah let's do it. What are some moments that come to mind for you? My favorite moment is when he kind of first kind of cussed me out in a funny way in front of the team, you know, just kind of making me an example. It was probably the best possible, you know, way to do it as well. It was kind of like a grand example, like going into my second year, you know, those

production meetings you do. So I did one with Scott Zolak. and Scott Zolak is the ultimate hype man. He gets you going. Gaslighting. Yeah. Gaslighting me, just gaslighting me. And I'm just taking the bait, taking the bait. He's got me hooked. He's just reeling me in and I'm in the production meeting. This is just a preseason game going into my second year. He's like, God, like how many guys does it take you

to tackle you? And I'm like, oh, well, all of them, 10 guys actually, 10 guys on the defense it takes to tackle me. So then, you know, we're just messing around. Clearly it doesn't take 10 guys to tackle me. Well, someplace it does, you know, depending how good I'm feeling. And my answer kind of wasn't wrong either, because it does. It takes a lot of motherfuckers to bring this big dog down.

And Coach Balachuk loved not giving any info to the media. He didn't want you to hype the other team up. No, or hype yourself up and like make expectations that aren't reachable, you know, in the media, you know, keep it mellow, keep it more low key. And there I am, takes 10 guys to tackle me. So middle of the game, you know, I catch a pass, whatever. And Scott Zolak as the announcer of the game,

I talked to Gronkowski in the production meeting and he told me it takes all 10 guys or 10 guys out of 11 out on the field To tackle his ass and then what is coach Belichick do? He puts that little clip up on the screen the next day on Monday and he makes example out of me goes all oh Gronk it takes 10 guys to tackle you. You know, he does his whole little Display just calls me out in front of the team and just makes me an example.

Didn't he show like three blocks you missed or something? Yeah, and then he shows, it takes 10 guys to tackle you, but you're doing this and this, and you missed a block here, you missed a block here, but you're telling everyone it takes 10 guys to tackle you. How about you just shut the F up? And it was funny. He had the whole entire team laughing. I was laughing.

It was cool. But no, I did learn from it as well. That was his way of getting at you. It was like if you hype yourself up, oh, he would, he would, he would read it to the team and then he would just show you like the seven worst plays you did in the game. Mm-hmm That and we all have them, you know, you all have bad plays you brain fart you this that something happens You slip he humbled you in the best way possible. He humbled you through your play Yes through facts and you know something though if you did talk a big game and you backed it up

He leaves you alone. He leaves you alone. He does. But for that, for an example, he made an example out of me because I talked the big game takes 10 guys to tackle me. And like, I missed like five blocks that game. So he's going to, he's going to pound you. You know, I didn't back it up.

I was going into my second year or say, yeah, you were, you know, I was just starting to get a little bit out of control, so, you know, he had to tamper me down a little bit. Yeah. You got to, you got to put the muzzle on old grunk sometimes Yeah, you know, but that just made me want it even more. I just remember There's a couple things that come to my mind moments of Bill One is the him throwing the flag the challenge flag Such disgust and like he threw it out him with the on to Cincinnati is Like we're on to Cincinnati and the thing is that's what he's kept on saying to us and the goddamn team meeting

He's like look we're in we're on to Cincinnati. We're like we just said that for like 10 minutes in the media Frank or Bill well, I mean I get mad at he's kind of like a dad figure Bill is so I understand. Yeah, it's so And then I remember early on in my career when YouTube was just coming out I fucking I Google our YouTube bill and I found like the video of him making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in Cleveland and he and I just remember him and I thought to myself he puts peanut butter on both sides of the on both breads and he puts it in between

because he doesn't want it to he says it locks it in but I said the jelly to peanut butter ratio is so dorky who is this guy just remember as like a rookie are watching that thing he did his little thing where he goes on both sides. I like, who is this dork? But he was a smart guy, I guess it actually worked because I tried it and the jelly doesn't come out. You just you just said, who is this dork? And then you go, I guess he's a smart guy. Jules, it's his birthday, man.

Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Look, I have this very special guest today his culinary skills are legendary yeah this is kind of dorky the BB PBJ maybe PBJ what is that Bill Belichick's peanut butter jelly sandwich oh goodbye I see we have cinnamon raisin. Yes, cinnamon raisin. B, B, P, N, Z, P. B, B, P, N, Z, P. B, B, P, N, Z, P. B, B, P, N, Z. B, B, P, N, Z.

Well, we'll start with the raisin bread. Why raisin bread, man? Well, my mother used raisin bread. Oh, mothers are divine, aren't they? Oh, they sure are. They're just the best. She made the best one. Yeah. Oh, and chunky peanut butter.

That's quite an advanced technique. Well, it has a little more crunch to it, and that really gives you a little extra energy, but the key to it, Mike, is to spread peanut butter on both sides of the bread Oh, why the jelly doesn't bleep through in the sandwich and put the jelly stop it real quick I just want to say this is why coach Balachik is one of the greatest coaches of all time because he pays attention to details I mean this guy's making a peanut butter and jelly and he's just laying down all the facts and all the little tiny details why it's gonna be so great from going from the raisin bread to why he's using crunchy peanut butter and all that other good

stuff keep playing it. Keep playing it. On both sides of the bread. Oh why? So the jelly doesn't leak through the sandwich. Put the jelly right here. Another coaching tip right there. Just forward thinking like that. It's kind of like his teams. They may not be sexy, they may not look good. By the end of the day, it's not leaked through The jelly's not gonna leak through. This jelly won't leak through because of the peanut butter on both sides. Now with the two sided peanut butter, Bill, lips are sealed inside the facility. It's like the jelly trying to get outside of the bread. It's not going to. It's sealed. Sealed. Yeah, that's one of the things I remember of coach.

I remember looking at that as a young player because I mean we all knew coach Belichick was and you know Especially early in our career. He's had three Super Bowl. They were the New England Patriots But I wanted to see something because I was so intimidated and so scared of him like I wanted to find anything and I found that video like Second or third year first second third year in the league and I was like, Oh my God, who is this guy? How do you, you know, refer to coach Balachek, you know, obviously in the facility, you call him coach, but outside of football now that we're retired, he's not in the NFL anymore. Do you still call him coach every time you talk to him and refer to him?

He's still coach. I mean, I agree. Anytime that has to relate to him and refer to him. He's still coach. I mean, I agree. Anytime that has to relate to football, 100%, he's always going to be coached to me. But sometimes I see him or refer to him as just Bill. It just goes smooth with it, just goes along with it. But he's still always going to be coached, like you said. Bill?

Bill, you know, Bill when he's being funny. I remember. And like on the roast, that's Bill. That's Bill Belichick. No, but we were all there. So he's being funny. You know? And like on the roast, that's Bill. That's Bill Belichick. No, but we were all there, so he's kind of still coach. After 14, our Super Bowl, we were in a designated area together. His party and I had some of my party.

He took a shot with us after we won. That was like the first time I was like, man, that was like the coolest thing ever because he kept it so professional and so like, man, that's, that was like the coolest thing ever because he kept it so professional and so like he let you know that he was there for business and this was a production business to see a little bit of the outside for the first time in like a, a non-professional environment. That was like awesome. Well, let's talk about some of his coaching decisions that, you know, that helped develop him and make them into one of

the greatest coaches or if not the greatest coach of all time. And this is really one of the reasons why he's the greatest coach of all time. Yeah. He got us prepared every single week. He knew the defenses, you know, what type of plays to call, like what type of formations to call the personnel and all that. But a lot of his coaching decisions played into the factor of why he is such a great coach as well, like the ineligible formations for his Baltimore in the playoffs. I mean,

without those play calls, we wouldn't probably never gain that momentum that we needed in order to win that playoff game, which led us to our first Superbow Bowl that we won Julian in 2014. And on top of it as well, the trick plays that he installed as well during the week and let offensive coordinator McDaniels call them as well to just give us that well needed spark. So what even happens? Can we go over that again?

Because people ask, why is coach Belichick you know that much better coach than everyone else? And I always bring up this formation, how he made who man eligible as a tackle. Baltimore and Raven. But why was the guy that lined up in the slot and who was it that was ineligible? Shane Varene.

It was Shane Varene. He was ineligible in the slot to the right. Yeah. And he would come back like he was getting the pass and then we would throw it over there Yeah that this was I mean this goes to the point of like oh, you know a lot of people don't think coach Belichick's collaborative I believe he probably talked over with like Nick Saban about this because it just happened in college like two weeks before and Saw if it was applicable to our rules and regulations of the National Football League and that's the kind of guy he is he does his due

diligence and if something is out there he'll use it I mean and this is a clear indication but I think some of his geniuses in some of those games remember like the wind game that he had two wind games there was that Buffalo game that we weren't a part of where they didn't even throw the football and And they actually kind of had a baby win game too with Mac Jones, but that one with Matt Castle I think it was 2008 They didn't throw it all and and they won the game had Randy Moss Wes Welker It was like hurricane wins and then also remember when we were playing against Denver

Wes Welker came back for this first time playing against us. They went up like 24-0 a half time We ended up bringing it back in and he took the wind at at the overtime not the ball Because the wind was such a pivotal factor of the game I remember that and I remember a lot of people that that caught a lot of headlines I'm sure did but what about the win game? I wasn't part of it I'm pretty sure you were still on the team when I think they passed the ball two times No, that was the year before me. That was the year. What do you mean the year before you that was in 2008? No, I'm talking I think

2021 that was I that was a win game too with Mac Jones. I wasn't there Mac Jones. Okay, I'm talking, I think 2021. That was, that was win game two with Mack Jones. I wasn't there. Yeah, with Mack Jones. Okay, so you weren't there. Absolute crazy wins in Buffalo. I'm talking about like, how dare you throw the ball. And the Bills, they threw it a couple of times and they completed a couple passes.

But New England threw the ball just three times and they ran the ball 46 times for over 220 yards and they ended up winning 46 times for over 220 yards and they ended up winning that game 14 to 10 and you just saw that you know coach Belichick smile after the game like yeah I just outsmarted you with with all my coaching decisions so that just proves a point once again when he knows to stick to a game plan he sure does as well well you know is in-game intuition or is in-game insight like I was feeling it but even you could look to the 2014 infamous Malcolm Butler interception play mm-hmm you see him on the sideline looking at

Pete Carroll the whole time seen it like I thought B flow was looking at coach Belichick to take a timeout because of the whole situation And bill like sat there and it was like some fucking beautiful mind shit He's like reading formulas and looking at Pete Carroll and he's like nah, don't don't call it Throw in that one and they runs in fucking the personnel group where it's all Like linebackers Lyman and two DBs or whatever they put in I don't have the play call but then you know and That whole thing goes like that was a huge decision to make in One of the biggest moments that turned into something good. There's countless decisions that we saw

You know, and then there were some that you know went the other way. I remember my rookie year in 2009, when we were playing Indianapolis, and we went forward on fourth and two, we were up like, it was pre-analytics. So everyone's like, what the fuck is going on? Bill Belichick. We were on our own like 48 or something, and Peyton Manning was playing.

We couldn't stop him. Like we jumped out to an early lead. We got a couple of turnovers, I think, and then by the end, we couldn't stop him. Like we jumped out to an early lead, we got a couple of turnovers I think, and then by the end we couldn't stop him. It was only a matter of, we couldn't give him the ball back. So Bill was like, we're gonna try to win it right here. We ended up losing it. We didn't get it, we threw it, K Falk,

and he was like a half yard short, and then they go on and score and win. So like, he has balls to make these decisions. And like, and if he makes a wrong decision, it doesn't go his way. He knows what to do the following time. He doesn't make the same mistake twice. And that's how he coach players as well.

Like if you made a mistake, like he would coach you on it and he wouldn't want to see you make the mistake again. And that's, you know, that's what kept him happy as well. That's what kept coach happy. And he really liked you as a player. If he coached you and then you did it the right way, the following time. Yeah, you're going to make mistakes and he understands that.

But once you get coached, you better, you know, do the right thing on the field and same with him. And he would not make the same mistake twice. Yeah. You can make mistakes, just don't make them twice, the same one twice. And if you do make it twice, just make the mistake like kind of in a different manner and to get away with

it again. And coach, you know, for coach, not like being everyone's all kind of terrified of like, oh, he's no fun, this, that some of the greatest players like Rainey Moss wanted to play for Coach Belichick. How crazy is that like in Chad Ocho Cinco? Who was a a jokester and and had his is full? Personality that you knew what Chad Ocho Cinco was Bill loved him. They'll love guys It didn't matter what you Rob Gronkowski, he drafted Rob Gronkowski, literally was Yo Soy Fiesta.

Like he didn't care what you did as long as you did it well. You know, if you'd played well, he didn't care. But if he knew like your silliness was affecting your game and wasn't helping you play well, he would get on you, buddy. Oh, he'd get on you. But if he knew your silliness was making you play better, he would amplify the silliness in a positive way.

He really would. He would amplify it, but he wouldn't be a grudge against it. He would be like, oh, he's playing good. That silliness is working. Let's keep it going. Yeah, well, it wasn't silly when he kept a six-round Brady over a $100 million quarterback Drew Bledsoe. That's crazy.

That takes some nuts like. Some squirrel nuts that takes some. Yeah, that's that is nuts. It is. Mm hmm. And he did like even when you if you go back and watch it, I mean, they they go to the AFC championship. Tom got a high ankle sprain

and Drew came in and played lights out didn't he and bills like fuck you we're going with our young buck like that that was nuts I mean what about what about playing Troy Brown at cornerback and another guy I know you jewels that corner back as well just to have that instinct knowing that well look at this guy's talent look how he plays the wide receiver position game like I feel like he can play corner as well let's try him out and it works I mean just incredible that that's just you know based on his ability to read a player which he was just his instincts as well like that which were just very high well that means North Carolina is going to

get some good evaluation. They sure are. And now that he's a college coach talking about North Carolina jewels, Bill is going to have to do some recruiting. You're going to have some recruiting, huh? Even though he's the greatest coach of all time, you still got to sell those Gen Z kids there, Coach. Gen Zers, they're tough. You got to.

You got to sell them. How much you paying them they want they want to know the highest bidder out there they want to know how many Instagram followers you're gonna get them bill that's maybe why he's so good on social media now you think they have rules nothing in the facility still like like I haven't done any detective work on their players no no I think they probably you got to have like a players lounge with the games now That's part of being in you know, the college atmosphere

So I think they got like the ping-pong table probably cornhole. No, I'm a shot. Can they can they Social media in the facility. No, no, no, no social media in the facility I don't even like that rule that that's like saying like hey like Come in our personal space like no, I don't like personal space. That's like saying like, Hey, like, come in our personal space. Like, no, I don't like personal space. I agree. Yeah. So no, I, I, I agree with that rule. Definitely no social media inside the facility. Like that's where like, imagine like showing someone like playing ping pong, like inside the players lounge. Like, that's not cool.

Like everything that goes on there should stay in there. That would be my rule as a head coach. I don't see him as a recruiter. I mean, I think he's handling this like a business. He's gonna go for guys that, like free agency, hey, you wanna come here? Like I think his pitch to the kid is, I'm gonna get you ready for your ultimate dream.

If you wanna come here, here's the price. If not, it's a numbers game. And there's a lot more numbers in college where you can pull like then there isn't free agency of the NFL. So I bet you he's pretty like, I don't know, though. I want, I want, I want to go to North Carolina. I'm going to say, Hey, Hey coach, can you give me a, can you recruit me? Give me the recruit pitch coach. I just want to sit in one of the meetings. I'm sure if you went to North Carolina, he, can you give me a can you recruit me? Give me the recruit pitch, coach. I just want to sit in one of the meetings.

I'm sure if you went to North Carolina, he would let you. I just saw David Andrews there actually, and he gave a great speech to the to the players, and I love that introduction that, you know, that coach Balachuk gave to about David Andrews as well. Undrafted player, couple, right. Couple pro bowls, right. Uh, team captain for so many years. It's just kind of like showing that, Hey, it doesn't matter where you come from.

It doesn't matter. You know, if you were a two star athlete, if you're a one star athlete, if you're a five star, you know, you're always going to get an opportunity to be great. And it's what you do with that opportunity. And that's just a prime example with David Andrews as well. And I saw Rob Ninkovic there as well. Ninko. At the campus.

I didn't see any film on Ninko being there. I just saw some pictures. So obviously Ninko hasn't been that big of an inspiration like David Andrews has been. But that's all right. That's Rob Ninkovic for you. He just likes to be part of the show. Likes to be there for the pictures.

How many little jabs does he send to you on social media? That's all he does. That's all right, that's Rob Ninkovic for you. He just likes to be part of the show, likes to be there for the pictures. How many little jabs does he send to you on social media? That's all he does. That's all he does. Well, that's why I'm jabbing him right now. Every single time he writes me something, he keeps jabbing at me. Anytime I post anything, I don't even see it. I just get like one of someone on the coast,

like, hey, you see what Nico said? I'm like, what did Nico say? Mm-hmm, I love it though. I love it. Nico got me so good on one of his comments. So good. What'd he say? I forgot.

I'm gonna have to look back. Look at Nico in the powder blue. But it was really good. He does look good. Nico looks good in the powder blue. I mean, talking about like doing stuff for like your facial hair, like Ninkovic is like the ultimate guy to make sure his facial hair is on point

He's taking whatever pill he needs to take to make sure that facial hair is growing in and it's trimmed the right way He's got hair all that good stuff and it's sure paying off for him and it looks good in that baby blue as well He looks like Zangief from Street Fighter We'll be right back after this quick break.

What up, man?

I'm here only because you're the greatest coach of all time you won't see not even that great of a program Yo, Alabama. They already are from me two million dollars straight cash in my pocket I'm what you got for me. And also you got to take care of my family If you ain't taking care of my family, I ain't coming here to you and see I know you I know you the greatest coach But hey, yeah talent outworks coaching all the time time I'm a five-star recruit best in the nation what you're gonna do about that coach what are you offering me look okay the numbers 1.8 but coach I got offered two mil from Alabama go to Alabama look if you want to get your second contract,

this isn't real money. This isn't gonna take care of your family. Real money's gonna come in the National Football League. Where are you gonna get your best opportunity to become your best pro? I'm a five star. I can go to any school and make it to the pros. I coached Lawrence fucking Taylor.

Okay, they didn't even have an amount of stars I could give him. You think you're a five star? OK, one point eight sign, sign the deal. Lombardi will send over the fucking contract. All right. And if you don't. I look to never hear of your name again, because you probably won't make it in the league. Well, coach, if you get me, I'm a five-star that's going to attract other players.

I'm telling you, offer me the most money. We want players that are smart, tough football players that perform under pressure and if you're not one of those, go to Alabama. I played in the biggest division in high school in Texas and you're telling me I'm not a smart football player player coach? Look, I'm telling you, you're not gonna be lining up against some kid from fucking Cappuccino High over here who is never gonna lick a football in NCAA, okay?

This program right here is a building foundation, I'm telling you. Look, I'm just telling you a Foundational program that'll give you what you need to go and make real money in the National Football League If you want that go to Alabama, okay. I'm just telling you all right coach. I Like what you're saying You humbled me I'm gonna come to University of North Carolina for you

coach and I expect to see that second contract no matter what now. See you in camp. Give me that bag of cash. Jordan was that good? That's kind of think he would even go for a guy like that. No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't go for that guy. No, he wouldn't. The character that I was playing, he wouldn't even bring into his office. He'd be like, nah, just let him go. He would want the five star that's a humble guy, a blue collar guy. Unless that guy was a defensive tackle

that he'll fucking is a problem. He wouldn't even go for a guy like that. No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't even go for a guy like that. No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't even'm less collar guy unless that guy was a defensive tackle that fucking Is a problem. Mm-hmm or he would take that guy That's that or a DN that remind that looked like if he had any kind of resemblance to LT. Mm-hmm But if that was like a flashy skill player, he'd be like that's too many problems because that position It has just too many eyes on it

But it was a guy like that that I was representing that played D tackle like you said defensive fan I think he'd actually pay to maybe linebacker yeah yeah he would that you would yeah actually we just did all that for nothing not a flashy position well no then we explained it after yeah yeah no we did it all that was good that was good we got to go there yeah should we go maybe maybe maybe maybe I want to if gotta go there. Yeah. Should we go? Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe. I wanna, if I go though, I don't wanna go and do all the Kit and Kaboodles cameras. I wanna go see what his actual operation looks like. Okay, I wanna go sit in a staff meeting. I wanna see how he's breaking down the goddamn coaches. I wanna see how he's breaking down the goddamn day

before the day even starts. I wanna see what he talks like in the team meeting. I want to see what he's doing during the team meeting and the offensive defense breaks up. I want to see the walkthrough. I want to see the walkthrough to the drills. I want to see the drills to the seven on seven to the team periods and the overall competition periods at the last bit of practice. That's what I want to see.

I don't want to just see some fucking guy over here just trying to be a social media butterfly. I want to see that fucking whistle being twirled around to choking his little fat finger. You're gonna be fired up Jules. That's what I want to see. Okay, if you want to go out here and do all this bullshit and let's record a fucking speech and let's try to get a recruit. I don't want, don't, don't even ask me there. Don't even ask me to go. Let's go to UNC. Here we come.

And we just put the expectations out there of what we want to see. Yeah. The U S Jules broke it down. The UNC frat boys have been blowing up dudes. Everybody always says Bill is no fun and Bill's actually one of the funniest dudes of all time. So let's take a look at some of Bill's best moments off the field. Let's get into it. Well, we already talked about it. We're on to Cincinnati.

We talked about how that was just one of his moments where his just instincts were there and how he was like that in the team meeting or after he talked about, you know, said that to the media after the game as well. So that was not just a serious moment, after he talked about, you know, said that to the media after the game as well. So that was not just a serious moment, but it was also a funny moment. Looking back at it to this date, you know, and it was coming off of a 41 14 loss to Kansas city. So it wasn't that funny at the moment. It kind of like gave us that refreshing moment.

Like, yes, we don't have to relive that loss on Monday Night Football. We really are on to Cincinnati. Yeah that was funny I also think you know him referencing my cousin Vinny during a legal investigation for the organization saying I'm not the Mona Lisa veto of football world I mean that's pretty comedic that's pretty comedic. That's called comedic timing. I mean, it's comedic timing. That's what it is.

It's his timing. Like the timing of when he wrote down on a napkin, I won't be the head coach of the New York football jets and leaves it to the jet. That's timing. Okay, he's not necessarily a funny guy with what he talks about or how he says it. He has timing and he kills you with facts.

He does. You're right. You hit that right on the money or his just his Zach Gillifanaffis. What is that guy? Gallifinakis like two Fern like this dude over here in draft room with fucking Nike, the dog running around and just him and Nike. And you take a look at like Cliff Kingsbury who's in like crazy, stupid love mansion and like crazy mansion.

You see McVeigh's, he's over in like some cool, like modern house mansion, babes at the pool. Bill's got his fucking dog in the back of Quincy looking at fucking boats, not even on the water that are like. Well, respect to Nike, he drafted Kyle Duggler, was it? Dugger, Dugger. I think the 37th pick overall.

Dugger is good too. Yeah, Kyle Dugger, great player, and Nike drafted him. That was Nike. Man, Nike. But he's funny. It's a good boy. No, my funniest times, every time I, I, I smiled and just chuckled to myself in the team meeting rooms

when coach Balachek brought up the social media names. Like he'd be like, my space. Well, why are we on my space? My face. Or my face, snap face or Insta chat. He'd fuck them up on purpose. Like why are we posting pictures after the game on Insta-face?

Like get off Insta-face. And like every time he just combined like two social media names and put them together, just like made me just brighten up inside. It was always funny as heck. When I was a kid. Yeah, when you were a kid, what? I know, when I was young football player, rookie, they had a Halloween party. When I was a kid. Yeah, when you were a kid, what? I know when I was young football player,

rookie, they had a Halloween party. You were a kid still. Randy had it, he threw a Halloween, I wasn't cool enough to go to the party yet, but they had a party and when he showed up as a pirate with his date, that was pretty funny. That was a comedian costume. That was a comedic costume.

My favorite bill though, cause it's like really brought everyone together once again and like, it'll keep us together for life was bill at the row. So man, I just loved what he brought to the table. I loved when he ripped on me. My favorite one that he brought to the table about me was talking about how he had that famous slogan, do your job.

And then he begged me on the stage in front of millions of people to stop doing my job on the NFL pregame kickoff show. Like that shit was funny, bro. Funny. I was in tears laughing when he got me with that one. It was so good. And like you said, he's so good with his timing. Timing.

Whenever he just lays down the wood on a joke. Timing deliver, like his delivery is kind of funny too, because it's a dry delivery. It's like, hmm. Yeah, look. Let me, let's look here. That's good. We'll be right back after this quick break. What's up, everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal and I'm teaming up with the king of spring Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest

love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now we're going to answer some of the most requested questions we get all the time about Coach Belichick. And we'll answer them once and for all. Let's do it. You remember the first time you met Coach Belichick?

Not really to tell you the truth. Oh, oh, actually I do. Yeah. It just clicked actually. Um, it was at the combine. Yeah. When I walked into the room, when you're doing the pre-draft, you know, visits at the combine with the teams and there was Coach Belichick when I walked in and interviewed with the Patriots it was about a quick five minutes you know the Bears was there a couple other guys were there but um yeah that's when I met him you know nothing you know spectacular that stood out but I just remember going in there and just getting you know questions real quick at the combine how about you do you remember the first time

you met coach Belichick I don, I was like a seventh rounder. So like, it was kind of like just show up and here's your shit and your schedule and you figure it out. And like, I remember the first time like we encountered each other was like on the practice field when I was catching punts with Kevin Falk and he was teaching me how to catch a punt.

He says, you catch a punt with your legs, not your feet, your arms, Edelman. You gotta get your feet right. So it gives you a two way go. Great coaching tip. That is a great coaching tip, because every fan out there is like, you gotta catch the punt with your hands.

That's what everyone's saying. Use your hands, but really. You gotta know where it is with your feet. Coach Balachek knows, you know, he's a step ahead of you and knows more. And he's telling Julian that you gotta catch it with your feet. Yeah, obviously you use your hands to catch it,

but if you have your feet in place and under you, like you were just saying, it's gonna make it a lot easier to catch the point with your hands. Yeah. Yeah, great, great coaching point right there, Jules. I just learned something next year. I didn't know that. Yeah.

I didn't know that. And it's true. Like And it's true, like it's true about receiving as well. Like if you're going up and your feet aren't under you and you're all over the place and you're going up to make the catch, it makes it harder to catch the ball if your body's not lined up. The reason he was explaining the punt in the feet is because you have to read the tip of the ball

depending on what it is doing at the top of the tip of the ball, depending on what it is doing at the top of the arc of the punt. Now, if the ball doesn't tip over with the right footed punter, it's gonna die and go right. So you have to get your feet there so you get a two way go. So if you read it right with your feet,

then your hands are gonna be there. If the ball goes over, if it, instead of like, if it tips over, then it's going to go far left and you play it on your right titty and it gives you two, two goes. So like that's what he was talking about. Cause you're reading, it's like baseball. You know, you're reading where the ball's going. And so you don't, you don't do it with your arms. You do it with your legs because your legs are going to bring you to the the area

Great points. When do you think you earned his trust? I would say I earned his trust Mmm My second year in the league in training camp when he gave me a parking spot up front I was one of the training camp heroes or whatever it was called, training camp MVPs. I'm not exactly sure what it's called when he did it back in the day in order to earn the parking spot up front. And I got that my second year, you know, going into the season throughout training camp. And right when that happened, that's when I felt like I gained his trust. He believes in me. I got the parking spot up in front of the parking lot. You know,

it was a privilege, you know, to earn that. And that's when, you know, if it truly felt like I earned his trust as well, you know, to get that parking spot, because parking spots were huge. It was like walking like 50 feet less into the building, which that 50 foot extra sucked. Sucked. Cold days, it's hot. Yeah, cold days, blue. When do you think you earned his trust? Never did.

That's a good answer. Nope, we'll leave it right there, Jules. I know you gained his trust, but I like that first answer. Just messing around. He knows what I'm talking about. You know what I'm fucking talking about, but I'm still mad about that shit.

When did you piss him off the most? You can you can't say never did that that one either. Yeah. I know you piss him off plenty of times. I remember. How about when you got in fights on the practice field that piss them off all the time. I pissed him off, but I don't think he got really mad at that. No, cause he liked your aggressiveness.

Yeah. And it's kind of like when a, you know, like a coach gets tossed in baseball to get a little spark to the game, the guys. Like I would get tossed in practice because it was a flat fucking practice. We needed a little spark. We needed a little spark. So he actually kind of liked that.

I think once it was in, I think it was like mini camps. Remember when he fucking We started doing those bout runs and he stopped He stopped mini camp practice and we had to do like two bout runs in the middle of practice and then go up and do like NASCAR and I was like dying and I I was a little pissed at it I was cuz like our load was getting high I remember you got mad at me for cuz I I kind of I kind of gave him a little lip I Gave him a little lip on I was like

We're trying to execute out here, dude. We're not getting anything done here fucking we can't even get lined up We got fun guys don't know what we're doing Shut the fuck up at home and keep running. What year was this? It's probably like 15 Remember when we started doing those about we did a bout run We were we started doing these bout runs to get our fucking load up or conditioning and he Decides in the middle of a practice. He blows the whistles. All right, we're gonna do some conditioning We have to do a full bout which is three minute runs You have to hit seven hundred and eighty five yards in three minutes

You got a touchdown back down back down back down back You have three minutes of full running and if you don't get 385 you don't you don't pass and then we had to go do NASCAR after which is no huddle. So like we were fucking trashed. This is make me want to run Yeah, I'm like dang. I'm not in shape anymore. If that's what we were fucking trashed. This is make me want to run. Yeah, I'm like, dang, I'm not in shape anymore. If that's what we're doing. When was the most human moment you had with them? Oh, most human moment. Like for me, his most human moment is when.

I remember when I got suspended like you. And I got hurt. And he kind of he could see that I got hurt and he kinda, he could see that I was hurt for letting the team down. And he kinda, he kinda, I don't remember how, but he felt like he had my back. You know what I mean? Like.

That's a good feeling. You know what I mean? I do. And that feeling that you know what I mean? I do. And that was like the most human moment I had with him. I would say his computer when I when I tossed. Yeah. When I when I threw that guy out of the club when we played the Colts. Yeah. And then I went up to him on the sidelines.

I didn't even say any words to him. I just started dancing in front of his face and he loved it Loved it and if you're getting a fucking penalty Like a personal foul penalty he hated that shit and I got a personal I know to any loved it still now That's a human moment because he just you you did your job too good Yeah, and you can't get mad at a guy doing his job. Is your right? That's a great play you did your job too good yeah and you can't get mad at a guy doing his job you're right that's a great play I did it too good you did your job so good where you drove the guy literally to the back of the end

zone yeah that's why he loved it personal file for doing your job because coach is always in the film room they'll say shit like that like this guy should be with the fucking cheerleaders with how he plays. You should walk him into the cheerleaders. Gronk literally blocked him into the cheerleaders. He got a 15 yard penalty on it. Oh, that was so fun. Love coach. Love coach.

What was the best advice he gave to you? I mean, he always gave great advice. You know, thinking about it, to this day, I didn't truly understand it when I was 21, 22, 23 years old, but he always, you know, he always stuck back in, you know, in back of my head, but he always exemplified and made point that nothing good happens

past 12 o'clock at night. That's true. He always reiterated it. And now thinking about it to this day, I use that line all the time. I'm like, why would I go out at nighttime? Nothing good happens past 1 a.m. Let's party during the day.

You know, and it was a great point party during the day Can't get in trouble during the day. I bet you he's gonna use this he better use this to show all his fucking his UNC team You know, I mean this is the marketing right there get bears on there.
