You cannot coach an inaccurate quarterback to be accurate

The biggest falsehood I see in quarterbacks... There'll be some kid that is not accurate, okay? So he wasn't accurate in junior high, but all he's got to do is work on his accuracy. So they play him a quarterback in high school... then they'll recruit the hell out of him and get him to college. ... if three coaches ahead of you could make that guy accurate, what makes you think you can? And I've improved accuracy, but I've never taken a guy from inaccurate to accurate.

This is a professional scouting philosophy from a legendary coach. While subjective, it is a core tenet of his offensive system.

Mitch Trubisky is the future of the Chicago Bears and a future Hall of Famer

I know it's a trap because I do think Mitch Trubisky is the future, but I'm a little ahead of myself. I'm thinking Canton, Ohio already. Yeah, I am one half of the first preseason game, but I don't care. He looked pretty good in that one half.

Trubisky did not become a Hall of Famer and was considered a bust relative to his draft position (taken before Mahomes and Watson).

The Ravens will finish second in the AFC North, win a wild card game, and then lose a close game to the Patriots.

9-7-10 and six they're finishing in second place behind the Steelers it's going to be them and the Bengals battling for that wild card spot and I need Joe Flacco to win a wild card game against someone really shitty probably the Texans and then I need them to just barely lose against the Patriots lose by one touchdown but be up at half against the Patriots

The Ravens finished 9-7 in 2017 but missed the playoffs entirely, losing on a last-minute touchdown to the Bengals in Week 17.

Roger Goodell will not show up in Foxboro for Week 1

I still don't think he's going to show up. I've been on the record on this podcast saying it, that he won't show up.

Roger Goodell did attend the NFL season opener at Gillette Stadium on September 7, 2017.

Gardner Minshew is going to be a pretty good player in the NFL

I think he's going to be a pretty good player. And I saw the story that said that he used to do band workouts in the locker room naked... Yeah, he would, well, not really band workouts. Uh, there's a combination of dancing and running in place... He's like one of the most passionate players I've ever coached.

Minshew went on to have a respectable NFL career as both a starter and high-end backup, arguably exceeding expectations for a 6th-round pick.

Washington State's mascot Butch T. Cougar beats Alabama's Big Al if it's a guy in a costume

Well, if they get a real elephant, we're in trouble... But if it's a guy in a costume, I'm going to go with the elusiveness of Butch [T. Cougar].

Purely subjective mascot combat theory.

Butch T. Cougar beats the Notre Dame Leprechaun unless the Leprechaun is actually magic

That leprechaun better actually be magic because otherwise I'm going to go with Butch.

Subjective comparison of a cougar vs a mythological figure.
