John Middlecalf three and OW podcasts. 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: How are we doing? My people? Hopefully everyone's having a 39 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: good day, a good week. And I thought i'd do 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: a little something something called a coaching draft. So what 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: I did is I removed Andy Reid because he clearly 42 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: would have been the number one pick. And I just 43 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: picked my top ten coaches, and I'm just going to 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: go from ten down to one the ten best coaches 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: I think in the NFL. If I was starting a team, 46 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: if I needed a coach, they'd be the guy I 47 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: would hire tomorrow in this order. So we will start 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: at ten and work our way up to one, removing 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: Andy Reid because it's like, it's like, yeah, who's the 50 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: best player in the NBA in ninety six. It's like, oh, 51 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. So there's no point, and so I think 52 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: it's fascinating if you kind of remove him and take 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: him out of the equation. It would have been like 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: that forever with Belichick in his heyday. So that's what 55 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: we'll do today. We're just gonna do a coaching draft, 56 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: because why not. It's a summer. What else you're doing. 57 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: We're a couple of weeks away from training camp. So 58 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: I thought i'd do something a little fun, have good 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: time with it. I actually thought about it. I spent 60 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: some time writing names. I changed my order a couple 61 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: of times, and I feel pretty good about it. I 62 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it, and we'll see how it ages. 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: Because some guys I'm buying, I'm buying for the next 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: couple of years, and other guys I don't know gonna 65 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: hut me up quick.

The Grateful Dead's been rocking at the sphere. 84 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: I hear that's awesome. When I was in for the 85 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I saw this fear. It looks sweet. I'd 86 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: never been there, but my producer James Wynney said, it's 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: bad ass. You want to go to a concert, Zach Bryan, Taylor, Swift, 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: you name it.

I'm gonna go. Sean McDermott in my coaching 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: draft look through the landscape and it kind of hit me, 101 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: actually think this guy's a little underrated. I would imagine 102 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: if you just asked a casual fan about Sean McDermott, 103 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be that positive. You definitely wouldn't talk, you know, 104 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: put his name with the top guys in the NFL. 105 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: Yet he's won the division four straight times, and people 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: forget his first year there made the playoffs as a 107 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: wild card. Now he got a little lucky. You remember 108 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: the last day of the season, Andy Dalton. But regardless, 109 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: he inherited a joke franchise. The Bills were a laughing 110 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: stock when he showed up, and now they aren't just 111 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: like a perennial Super Bowl contender. They own their division, 112 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: which New England did for twenty years, and they are 113 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: the last couple of years right. This year was a 114 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: bad loss, but they had a ton of injuries, so 115 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: you could argue, should he have won that game? He 116 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: was favored against the Chiefs at home. Two years ago, 117 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: the Hamlin thing, the snowstorms, they ran out of gas 118 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: and they got their ass kicked by the banks. They did. 119 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: It happened. I mean, it was bad, but three years 120 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: ago is to me the biggest polemish on his resume 121 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: the thirteen second game against the Chiefs. That can't happen. 122 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: That is easily one of the worst losses in the 123 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: last twenty years. But here's what you got to give him. 124 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: He's in the fight, he's in the hunt and his team. 125 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: I think one thing I learned last year when I 126 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: picked the Jets, which sounds insane to say out loud. 127 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: Obviously Aaron Rodgers tearing his achilles changed their season, But 128 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: for the Jets winning that division last year, were they 129 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: gonna win eleven games? I thought last year was a 130 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: culture season for Sean McDermott. His team was six and six, 131 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: he fired an offensive coordinator, The Dolphins looked like they 132 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: were going to cruise the division. And then what happens. Oh, 133 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: it gets cold, it gets difficult, and that's where his 134 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: team's built for. I was around him when I worked 135 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: with the Eagles. I like him a lot. He's a 136 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: serious cat, you know. I mean, this is a guy. 137 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: I think he's mid to late forties. He's wired like 138 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: a dude from the forties. I mean, this guy is 139 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: not a screw round guy. I think he's loosened up 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: a little bit as time is gone, but there is 141 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: no debate he's a really good coach, and if he 142 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: was an offensive coach, I don't think anyone would debate 143 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: where he lands as a top ten guy. I think 144 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott is going to continue to have success. I 145 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: think this year I would look for them to win 146 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: eleven twelve wins again, and I would be stunned if 147 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future they don't dominate that division unless 148 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: when you have Josh Allen at your quarterback, you have 149 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: a chance to win. But even in this exercise, like 150 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: we don't have Josh Allen, it doesn't matter. When he 151 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: showed up to Buffalo, guess what, they didn't have Josh 152 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: Allen either. They were a laughingstock. They weren't like this 153 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: dominant operation going to the playoffs every year. Bill's Mafia 154 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: front and center. They weren't playing every other week in 155 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: the afternoon game on CBS with Nanton Romo in primetime games. 156 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: And he's turned them into, you know, obviously the brand 157 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: from when you know, back in the early nineties they 158 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: were a big time program, but for most of my 159 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: life they've kind of been irrelevant and Sean McDermott has. 160 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: Obviously Josh Allen has played a role in this two 161 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: but like he's seventy eight and forty seven as a 162 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: head coach, five and six in the playoffs. Playoffs. Listen, 163 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: that's why he's ten. If you brought a little more 164 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, you couldn't debate he'd have to go higher. 165 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: So I got Sean McDermott at ten. At nine. This 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: guy was fascinating because because one, if he was available, 167 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: I thought he should have got fired last year. Were 168 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: mutually gone their separate ways. I thought it was time 169 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: for a change. I never thought Mike Tomlin was a 170 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: bad coach. And if Mike Tomlin would have been available 171 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: last year, he would have been the number one choice 172 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: for multiple teams. And if he had taken a year 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: off to go into TV, he would have came back 174 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: and been had three or four job offers. He's a 175 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: big time football coach. Now he has some flaws, yes, right, 176 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback situation post Roethlisberger is not something he can 177 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: really fix. He has nothing to do with the quarterback right, 178 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: and we've seen them struggle over the last several years there. 179 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: Now this year is going to be a big you know, 180 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on if they can resurrect 181 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: that room with the group. But there is no disputing 182 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: his team for fifteen plus years. They don't lose. They 183 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: do not lose, and II leen offensive coaches, and that's 184 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: how this list will eventually play out. But I do 185 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: like old school tough guys. Sean McDermott's won, Mike Tomlins won. Ironically, 186 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: they played together in college. Like, I know what I'm 187 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: getting with Mike Tomlin, leader of men. He's pretty good 188 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: at hiring coaches. Obviously his defense, like he knows defensive 189 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: talent because of the culture that he's been around. If 190 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: you hired Mike Tomlin, you would feel really good about it. 191 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: You really would. Now. Once upon a time he would 192 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: have been way higher on this list. The Super Bowl 193 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: he won was in two thousand and eight. To put 194 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: that into perspective, it was my first year at Fresno State. 195 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: I thought about this the other day. It's been like 196 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: fifteen years since I had that job, and that was 197 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking twenty ten when I left Fresno State, so 198 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: it's been a long long time. But to me, it's 199 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: this list is less about Super Bowl championships, and you 200 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: know Belichick and Andy aren't a part of this the 201 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: only guy. There's only a couple guys with one super 202 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: Bowl on this list. Here's thing, though, it is about 203 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: playoff victories and having success in the playoffs. Like Sean 204 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: McDermott has been winning playoff games the last several years. Hell, 205 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: he just beat Mike Tomlin this year. Now, Mike Tomlin's 206 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: resume is a lot longer. That's why I gave him 207 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: the slight nod. Plus, who would I rather hang out 208 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: with on a daily base? It feels like Tomin But 209 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: Tomlin has not won a playoff game in eight plus years, 210 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure it's gonna happen this year. That 211 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm not That does not kind of deter me away 212 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: from just acting like this guy some bum. But there's 213 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: a reason he's nine and not three or four. Where 214 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: if we went back six seven years, I think most 215 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: people would consider him a top five coach. And I 216 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: think he's dipped down a little bit, but his floor. 217 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: And this is I gamble on golf a lot. I 218 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: gamble on got a lot of guys to finish top 219 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: twenty and top ten because I think their floors are high. 220 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: I feel very comfortable betting top Hens on Xander in 221 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: a major. Up until the PG eight. The dude wasn't 222 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: winning majors, but you could make a shitload of money 223 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: riding him to finish six, seventh or eighth, right, And 224 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: that's what Mike Tomlin feels like, and that's what the 225 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: roomies are cool with. But if you were starting from 226 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: scratch and you got a guy worst case scenario every 227 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: year gonna win nine or ten games, you could do 228 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: a lot worse. And let's face it, he's kind of 229 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: a star. He really is. There. There's more substance there, 230 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: but he's got like you know, there are certain guys 231 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: that are just bigger than life. Parcels was like this, 232 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: Gruden was like this, and Tomlin definitely has some of that. 233 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: Owns the room. He's good for business. It's just a 234 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: positive person to have around. And like I said, I'm 235 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: not just picking him because of that worst case scenario. 236 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: I'm winning nine games now, ideally you'd like to win twelve, 237 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: but he hasn't done that in a couple of years. 238 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: We'll see a lot of pressure on him this year. Eight. 239 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: This is like buying a stock early you know when 240 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: you're like, God, this thing's like ten bucks, and you 241 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: kind of go, ah, look at the industry. They're in 242 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: this thing like five years, could it be one hundred? Now? 243 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes that ten dollars stock would you think could be 244 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: one hundred goes to four. But when I look at 245 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: Shane Steike and I go he's everything I wanted to coach. 246 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: He's the offensive play caller. He's worked with every different 247 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: style of starting quarterback. Philip Rivers couldn't beat my dog 248 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: in a race. Justin Herbert literally had to play because 249 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor got poked in the kidney whatever thirty minutes 250 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: before the game, didn't prepare all week long, and then 251 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,479 Speaker 1: obviously Justin's rookie season was fantastic. Then he goes to Philadelphia, 252 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: where it's pretty clear Nick Sirianni has no business calling plays. 253 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: It's why since he gave it up to Shane he 254 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: has not taken aback. Ben Johnson fired. Now he's on 255 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: to Kellen Moore. Well, Jalen Hurts easily had the best 256 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: stretch of his short career and ultimately earned a massive 257 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: payday because of the work this guy did. Now there 258 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: is a big unknown with the Colts. But here's what 259 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: I like about change Stikeen. Last year, they take this 260 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson guy who needs a ton of work, then 261 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: he gets injured early in the season. I heard Chris 262 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: Baller talking about this on Mike Lombardi's podcast. He said, 263 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: you get ready all week with this one player, and 264 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: then you go to Gardner Minshew, whose skill set is 265 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: the complete opposite of Anthony Richardson. So the plays and 266 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: the things that you would want Anthony to excel at, 267 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: Gardner can't even think or dream about doing. So you 268 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: have to change the game plan completely and on the 269 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: fly in the middle of the game and then the 270 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: rest of the season. If I would have told you 271 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: that Gardner Minshew had to start the majority of the 272 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: season for the Colts, I would have been like six 273 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: to seven wins. He not only won nine, he was 274 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: a shitty Gardner Minshew pass and a dropped ball away 275 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: with a running back from winning the division, being keen 276 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: of seven and being what we talk about the Houston 277 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: Texans being. But I love a head coach who calls 278 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: the plays and impacts the quarterback. Look at these quarterback salaries, 279 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: that's where your biggest investment goes. But there's a reason 280 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: d line coaches aren't getting head coaching jobs. So like that, 281 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: there's a reason linebacker coaches don't get head coaching jobs. 282 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: Everyone wants the quarterback who calls the plays. That's what 283 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: you want. And this guy was a college quarterback. I 284 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance in the next three or 285 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: four years. I think the Colts are gonna be really good. 286 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: But this is exactly what you're looking for when you 287 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: hire a head coach. This is Look at the Giants. 288 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: They hired Brian Daboll, who will see, I mean, has 289 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: a big year coming up, and then right away he 290 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: gave the offensive coordinator job to Mike Kafka, who I 291 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: like a lot. But it's like, Brian, I'm hiring you 292 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: because you're the offensive coordinator, and what you do with 293 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I want you to work with a quarterback 294 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, three sixty five and call the plays. 295 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: Like no, I want someone I want to be a CEO. 296 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry in twenty twenty, I want my head coach 297 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: calling the place. The guy who's not even on this list, 298 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: because we all agrees to number one, Andy Reid, who's 299 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: one of the greatest coaches of all time. Head coach, quarterback, guy, 300 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: play caller. That's what we're looking for. So I'm betting 301 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: big on change Sykeing. I think the Colts I wouldn't 302 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: say lucked into him, but getting rid of Frank was 303 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: obviously the right move, and the debacle that was Jeff 304 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: Saturday led them to this. I'm really bullsh on Chang Stykeing. 305 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: If he was my coach, I'd feel really good about it. 306 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: This was a guy a couple of years ago that 307 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of people in the media, 308 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: well educated look down on the quote unquote meadheads. They 309 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: don't have much in common with them, right, and Dan 310 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: Campbell early on was just viewed as this kind of 311 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: meadhead lifter, probably two tens of Copenhagen a day, eight coffees, 312 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: not much in common with, you know, the the educated elites. 313 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: And then the more and more I've watched Dan Campbell 314 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, just press conference, I go, 315 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: this guy is way smarter than the way everyone acted 316 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: like he was early on. Ultimately, though, that's not how 317 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: we judge this operation. Do you win or do you lose? 318 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: It's the best part about sports, specifically football, there's no guessing. 319 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: There's no well it could have been, we might have 320 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: this deal, we might get this done. I got this 321 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: project on the way, we got we got this land 322 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: we're working on. I meant all, a lot of business 323 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: is a lot of talking right now. You either ultimately 324 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: close it or you don't. But sometimes they're not deadlines 325 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: or whatever. There's a game you win or you lose it. 326 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: There's a season seventeen games. How made you win? How 327 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: made you lose? This guy inherited. You think Sean McDermott 328 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: inherited a shitty operation in Buffalo. It doesn't get any 329 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: worse than Detroit. And the difference is Detroit has no history. 330 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: They hadn't been to the NFC Championship game since nineteen 331 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: ninety two. They hadn't won multiple playoff games in like 332 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: sixty years. He inherited the team. They went three and 333 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: thirteen and it was. It was bad. And within a 334 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: couple of years with a great trade of Matt Stafford 335 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: and just a culture, a toughness. He can relate to players. 336 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: He's smart, but the way they play like you watch 337 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: his team play, you go, yeah, I understand what Dan 338 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: Campbell wants to do a lot closer to the Hardball 339 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: Brothers than any of the people that wrote him off 340 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: three years ago. Want to admit three and thirteen, nine 341 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: and eight in the last game of the season. They 342 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs. Obviously they couldn't because I forget 343 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: the exac scenario now off the top of my head. 344 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: But they ended Aaron Rodgers Green Bay packer career and 345 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 1: then last year twelve and five. But here's the thing, Like, 346 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: they're easily going to compete to be the number one 347 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: seed again, and I think for the next several years 348 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: they're going to be not just one of the best 349 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC, but one of the best teams 350 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: in the league. So what Dan Campbell did with Detroit, 351 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: like if Kaylin Duboor goes to Alabama and wins, he's 352 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: a winner. It's what he should do. But he's not 353 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: ultimately going to get that much credit because it's Alabama 354 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: kind of what we do here, right, But when you're 355 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: laying Kiffin and you go to Ole Miss and then 356 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: you went back to back double digit win seasons for 357 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: the first time in like program history, that's impressive. Going 358 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: to sc and not winning ten games is like, what 359 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing? The NFL is a little 360 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: different because the equality of the salary cap and every 361 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: team has money, but the Lions are much more of 362 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: an outlier than they are just like the rest of 363 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: the league historically. And he went and he immediately changed 364 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: the culture, and now they easily should have won that 365 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: game against the forty nine ers. Now you could say 366 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: that was a problem to kicked the field goal whatever, 367 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: but Dan Campbell's a big time coach. I don't see 368 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: right now, for the next five years how you could 369 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: feel better about taking like Mike Tomlin and Dan Campbell. 370 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: I couldn't do it just because he said he'd bite 371 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: your knees three years ago at an introductory press conference, 372 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: and all these guys with English degrees thought he was, 373 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, a meadhead. I'm impressed with Dan Campbell. Dan 374 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: Campbell coached my football team any day of the week 375 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: and twice on Sundays, number six. This guy's been a 376 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: rocket ship since the moment he got in the NFL. 377 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: I read today when I was doing a little research 378 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: on him. His former teammates still call him cap as 379 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: in captain. He technically wasn't the team captain his Rookie 380 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: of the Year though he was the rookie defensive Player 381 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: of the Year. And in the NFL, this is not 382 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: the NBA. You don't get to just go from being 383 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: high level player to head coach. You have to start 384 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: as a quality control guy. And that's where he did 385 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan, and within three or four years he's 386 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. And I got news for you, Kyle 387 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: Shannan's had a lot of success. He's easily their best 388 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator over that time, and one of them has 389 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: a head coaching job right now with the New York 390 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: Jets and helped lead them to a Super Bowl. If 391 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: I any defensive coordinator, I'm taking Demico over Robert Solo. 392 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: And I ain't even hesitating. Special When I was with 393 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: Philly we traded for him. It was after he had 394 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: a bat achilles injury and he was never the same 395 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: as a player. But his character, his leadership, He is 396 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: beloved by people, and let's face it, coaching is a 397 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: people business. Defensively, he's awesome, but I think some of 398 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: these younger defensive coaches. His ability to interact with the 399 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: offensive guys is pretty unique, and I don't you know, 400 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: a defensive coach wouldn't be my first choice. But sometimes 401 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: there are exceptions, and I think Demiko Ryans is just 402 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: one of those exceptions. I think the NFL is lucky 403 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: that a guy that made as much money as he's 404 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: made loves football as much as he loves football and 405 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: wants to do this now. Obviously at this point in time, 406 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: he's making a lot of money again, but he's a 407 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: special coach. And like I said in this exercise, if 408 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm drafted, I don't have CJ. Stroud on my team. 409 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: I wouldn't give a shit if Demigo Ryans coach. I 410 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it. And that's the cool part 411 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: about this list. Like I think that division has two 412 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: of the better coaches in the league, and it turns 413 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: out they're both young. I mean, Shane Stikeen's thirty nine 414 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: years old. I didn't write down Dimico's age. He can't 415 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: be older than forty maybe forty one. I mean, both 416 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: these guys, if they want to do this for a 417 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: long time, have a chance to be really really special 418 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: in this league. Obviously, Dimiko went ten to seven last year. 419 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: He won a playoff game, let's face it, kick the 420 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: Browns ass. Now it was Joe Flacco gonna beat you. 421 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: But regardless, a lot of people are gonna be picking them, 422 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be really good, a lot 423 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: like the Colts over these next couple of years. Because 424 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: it's coach league and a quarterback league. Now Demko has 425 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback. We'll find out if Shane does. But good 426 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: coaches figured out period point blank in the story. 427 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 3: So you have an upcoming fantasy football draft and you 428 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: need to check you out the Fantasy Pros Draft Wizard. 429 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 3: When you sink your fantasy football league with draft Wizard, 430 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: you'll get an instant report that shows you how the 431 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: rest of your league drafts. You'll see who overdrafts rookies 432 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: in early rounds, who's gonna be the person to take 433 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: that first QB off the board, and which manager is 434 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 3: going to always reach for that hometown player every single time. 435 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: And then you can take those patterns directly into the 436 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 3: draft simulator and make your mock draft feel like the 437 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: real thing. When your real draft comes around, you're gonna 438 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 3: be ready and the draft assistant will be there for 439 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 3: you to give you live pick by pick insights and 440 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 3: expert recommendations of who to draft and when to draft them. 441 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 3: You can see all of this and more at fantasypros 442 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 3: dot com Slash Volume Today. 443 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: Number five. If you would have told me a couple 444 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: years ago, I would have had this guy here, I 445 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: don't think I would have believed you, because anytime you 446 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: inherit Aaron Rodgers, even if you're a major reason, and 447 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: even Aaron talked about this, that you resurrect his career. 448 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: Aaron won back to back MVPs under this guy, and 449 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: I thought in twenty twenty one, the year they lost 450 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: to Tampa, that's as good as Aaron's played. But when 451 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: you take a late first round pick that is a 452 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: major project, sit him for three years, and by the 453 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: time he finally starts by the end of the year, 454 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: people are going, does he kind of look like Aaron Rodgers? 455 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: Is he kind of playing like Aaron Rodgers? And then 456 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: go on the road with that player in a playoff 457 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: game and eviscerate the Dallas Cowboys. It's one thing to 458 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: win a tight game, is the playoffs. It happens they 459 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: beat the livin piss out of Dallas. Here's what Flor's records. 460 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: He went thirteen and three, thirteen and three, thirteen and 461 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: three obviously at Aaron. Then the year they kind of 462 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: fell a party win eight and nine, and then this 463 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: year boom back in the playoffs, wins a game with 464 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. If Jordan Love keeps playing like he does, 465 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: like he did the final eight games, the Packers have 466 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: a chance to be the one seed. Like that's how 467 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: to the team is and their coach is really good. 468 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: He's fifty six to twenty seven, and I think a 469 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: lot of people, and rightfully so, are always hesitant when 470 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: you get to inherit, even if he's coming off a 471 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: bad year, an all time great player, Aaron's going to 472 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: get more credit than the Floor. I don't know how 473 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: anyone could have watched last season and go, wait, this 474 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: guy coaches the quarterback, he calls the plays, and he's 475 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: my head coach. And we're in the second round of 476 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: the playoffs against the number one seed, and let's face it, 477 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: they probably should have won that game if it wasn't 478 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: for Perty pulling out some plays out of his ass. 479 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: Now here's the one thing with the Floor defensive coordinator. 480 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: Is he going to get it right? Because if he 481 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: gets it right and Jeff Hafley's the guy. Anytime you're 482 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: the offensive play caller and you're dealing with the quarterback, 483 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 1: even if your defense sucks, you can get nine to 484 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: ten wins. But if you get that defensive coordinator right 485 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: and your defense becomes the top seven, eight ten defense 486 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: in the league, that's when you start winning twelve or 487 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: thirteen games. Now, Joe Barry clearly is buddy, just wasn't 488 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: any good. And let's face it, it's very, very difficult 489 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: to be a good coordinator in the league. So Joe 490 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: Barry is much more normal than he is. What the 491 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: elite guys are, the high end guys are a small 492 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: percentage of coaches. Most coaches that become coordinators turn out 493 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: to be pretty average or below. That is the majority. 494 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: So even if he was good buddies with Joe Barry, 495 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: he took a lot of shit for it. He easily 496 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: could have hired John Williamson and that guy have looked 497 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: like Joe Barry. But you go get Jeff Haffley, who 498 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: coached at Ohio State, who coached for Kyle Shanahan, who 499 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: was a head coach with Boston College, who knows DB's 500 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: high energy guy. If they're good. The Packers are gonna 501 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: be really good because offensively, Lefore's a baller, like there's 502 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: no dispute in that. And what he did with Jordan 503 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: Love last year, Holy shit, three and four the Hardbob Brothers. 504 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: These two guys, I'm gonna go John for Jim three. 505 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: If you wanted to argue with me and flip flop it, okay, 506 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: personally I'm a Jim guy, but have a ton of 507 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: respect for John. I'm a believer that certain human beings 508 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: are put on this earth to do certain things. It 509 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: could be a writer, could be a painter, could be 510 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: an architect. These guys, the moment Jack Harbaugh conceived both 511 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: of them and they came out of that womb, were 512 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: put on this earth to coach football, and that's it. 513 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: It's greatly benefited my life as a football fan, specifically Jim, 514 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: but let's start with John. He has had the same 515 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: success over a long period of time. He did go 516 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: through a little dip there with the Joe Flacco years, 517 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: but obviously Lamar Jackson has changed the game. Knowing some 518 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: people that were for that organization, they just say his 519 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: team meetings and the way he handles the operation is 520 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: just unlike anything they've ever seen. Like I said, Jim 521 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: and John born to do this shit, and last year 522 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: was tough. It was now Jim has had those moments too, 523 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: where it's like, you gotta win this game. You don't 524 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: have to win the super Bowl, but you gotta win 525 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. It's at home, you're the favorite, 526 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: you have the better roster top to bottom. You gotta 527 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: win the game. And he doesn't like if he wins 528 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: that game. Even if he loses the Super Bowl, which 529 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: I think he would have won, but let's just say 530 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: he won that game, I would have put him over Jim. 531 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: But like this no show. Well John beat Jim in 532 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl back in twenty twelve. Well, yet Jim's 533 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: champion now too. And I think if you play that 534 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: game ten times, probably a coin flip. Maybe they split 535 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: five to five, maybe one guy's wins six to four. 536 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: But you can't tell me what Jim has been doing 537 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: in Michigan and John's super Bowl way back in the day, 538 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: with let's face it, a lot of inherited players. This 539 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: is now his operation, and they're damn good. They're awesome. 540 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: Last year was tough, and if he wins that game, 541 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: I'll put him against his brother. And if Jim hadn't 542 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: won the biggest game of Jym's career, you could say 543 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: it was a Super Bowl. But since that game was 544 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: not the National Championship game, he was not gonna lose 545 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: to Washington. The biggest game of Jim's career was Nick 546 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: Saban at the Rose Bowl in the Final four. Because 547 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: the previous year, to lose to Sonny Dikes was one 548 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: of the worst losses of his career. Michigan cannot lose 549 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: that game. They should not lose that game. And if 550 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: you played it one hundred times, I would imagine Michigan 551 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: wins ninety five plus. But Saban's team had them on 552 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 1: the ropes. It was like this team with all these 553 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: guys getting drafted, you're gonna lose to Nick Saban. And 554 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: then he found way to win it, and then they 555 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: cruised the National Championship. And now Jim comes back to 556 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers, and let's face it, Jim's a baller. Jim 557 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: won at San Diego, he won at Stamford, which when 558 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: he inherited Stanford, Bruce Feldman told me one time, and 559 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: he's been covered college football for twenty five years. It 560 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: is easily the most impressive thing he's ever seen what 561 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: Jim Harbad did at Stanford. They weren't just one and eleven. 562 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: They were pet they were losing to UC Davis. They 563 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: were a joke. Within three or four years, Jim had 564 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: him in a BCS game, and then obviously David Shah 565 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: takes over in their top five program for like the 566 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: next five years. Jim goes to the forty nine ers, 567 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: who he inherited a lot of talent. That talent was 568 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: playing awful. They had been consistently bad since Steve Mariucci 569 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: was fired, quit or traded. I don't even remember how 570 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: that breakup happened. But from two to twenty ten, the 571 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: Niners were a joke. There were moments in two thousand 572 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: and five when it might have been oh four. It 573 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: is either four or oh five conversations we had in college. 574 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: Could Pete Carroll's USC team beat San Francisco, Which is 575 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: always gonna be one of my favorite conversations of all 576 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: time because we'll actually never know the answer, even though 577 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: everyone thinks they know the answer, but we'll never see 578 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: the game. But when you watch the two teams play, 579 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: you're like, well, Pete's got a first round or like 580 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: every position they're dominating with a bunch of NFL guys, 581 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: and this Niner team is unwatchable. And then five years 582 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: later Jim takes over and boom they're in the NFC 583 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: CHAMPIONI Game, and then boom they're in the Super Bowl, 584 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: and then boom, they're in the NFC CHAMPIONI Game. And 585 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: his disastrous year which essentially got him fired. He didn't 586 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: win three or four games. He went eight to eight. 587 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: And at the time, Kaepernick couldn't hit the broad side 588 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: of the barn if he was standing next to it. 589 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: They had no offense. Quarterback couldn't complete a pass, and 590 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: they had I think Patrick Willis had retired, like it 591 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: kind of unraveled quick. And he still kept a competitive 592 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: and he went to Michigan went a little slower than 593 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: I thought, but by the end, what happened, Urban owned him. 594 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: Urban's a better college coach, I will give you that, 595 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: but Jim isn't just a college coach. He's a football coach. 596 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: Coach the NFL and coaches college. Urban got ran out 597 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: of town, so faster headspun when he went to Jacksonville, 598 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: Jim can do both, and once Urban left, he started 599 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: kicking Ryan Day's teeth in and then this year he 600 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: just finally he beat Nick Saban and the rest history 601 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: and now he's coming back to the Chargers. But here's 602 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: what I now, and this is what makes Jim so special. 603 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: Start from scratch. You could argue that it might not 604 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: be anybody better just starting from scratch. The only reason 605 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't have him a little higher is because he 606 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: hasn't been the league in a while. But I'm expecting 607 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: ten plus wins from the Chargers. I wanna say plus 608 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: do they have like a thirteen win season, But I 609 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: would expect ten wins from the Chargers this year. So 610 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: let me recap. Got McDermott ten, Tomlin nine, Shane stike 611 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: In eight, Dan Campbell seven, Demico Ryan six, Matt Lafleur five, 612 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh four, Jim Harbaugh three. This is a tough one. 613 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: This is a little like Jim and John McVeigh and Kyle. 614 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: And if you want to give me that one guy's 615 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: got a super Bowl the other guy doesn't. I don't 616 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: really have a comeback to that because Kyle Shanahan has 617 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: dominated Sean McVay. But in the biggest game they ever played, 618 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game in La Kyle lost. Now Quatsky tard. 619 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: If he just catches the ball in his bread basket, 620 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: it's Niners win. But here's the thing. Sean McVay, who 621 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: I put two, is a fantastic He's an elite coach. 622 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: What he did last year, the way they were playing 623 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, I love Sean McVay. 624 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: To me, the difference on why I put McVeigh two 625 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: and Kyle three or Kyle one, excuse me, is simply 626 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: because I mveigh thought about quitting last year. So if 627 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: I'm hiring a guy from scratch, Jim Harbaugh is never 628 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: leaving football. He's not going to TV, right, Dan Campbell, 629 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: Shane Steichen, even Mike Tomlin, Sean McDermott. These guys are 630 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: football guys all they know. Sean McDermott told Chris Long, 631 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, it's crazy, but I look back. I 632 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: don't know how I did it, but it was clearly 633 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: I was contemplating leaving. Thought I was gonna leave. So 634 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: anytime that thought has not only entered, but you almost executed. 635 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: That's the difference here, because here's what I know. I 636 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: would expect Kyle Shanahan to coach football till he's seventy 637 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: years old, even though he's already making probably fifteen sixteen 638 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: million dollars. And Sean McVay, who I think their team's 639 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: gonna be really good. And if I had to start 640 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: from scratch, you got Sean McVay. Even if I only 641 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: got a couple of years with him, I feel pretty 642 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: good about it. But when I'm taking an elite guy, 643 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: no one has ever thought, you know what Andy Reid's 644 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: gonna do. He's gonna go do TV for a couple 645 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: of years. He just needs a break. You know what, 646 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: Belichick needs a break. Football guys at the highest level eat, breathe, 647 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 1: and sleep at twenty four to seven, three sixty five. 648 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: And that thought, even if across their mind, they kick 649 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: it out immediately. Now Sean, we'll see how long he's 650 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: in this for. Again, I'm not trying to talk shit. 651 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: I got him number two. I think he's excellent, and 652 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: I think the defining attribute of him and Kyle they 653 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: control the quarterback, they control the plays, they value defense, 654 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: and they just win at the highest level. Now Sean 655 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: has won a super Bowl Kyle hasn't. But Kyle's been 656 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: to four NFC Championship games in five years, and Sean 657 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with Matt Stafford, who, let's face it, 658 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: if he hadn't played in Detroit, his whole career had 659 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: probably been considered a top five or six guy for 660 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: a lot of it. He's an elite player. Kyle Shanahan 661 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: won with Jimmy Garoppolo. I got news for you. Jimmy 662 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: Garoppolo ain't that good, and now he's winning with Brock Purdy, 663 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: who is good. Was the last pick in the seventh 664 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: round two years ago when Matt Stafford got hurt, the 665 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: Rams imploded. They were a disaster. It was an embarrassment, 666 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: which led to the Detroit Lions ultimately getting the number 667 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: six overall pick, which they flipped to twelve and ended 668 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: up with the running back in Laport. But I saw 669 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan start a season with a guy I don't 670 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: even think he wanted at the time. But by that 671 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: point in time, Trey Lance broke his ankle, Jimmy Garoppolo 672 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: comes in, breaks his foot and still makes the NFC 673 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: Championship with a surs dring quarterback. I would argue two 674 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: years ago is more impressive than anything Sean McVay has 675 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: ever done. So I like both these guys. I think 676 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: they are carbon copies in terms of the way they 677 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: value defense, the way they value a coaching staff, the 678 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: way you know, the attention to detail, just how hard 679 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: their teams play. But I'm going Kyle one middle copy. 680 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: You're just a homer like Listen. I Kyle drives me 681 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: nuts sometimes, but a lot like Dan Campbell. When Kyle 682 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: got to the forty nine ers in twenty seventeen, it 683 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: doesn't get any worse. It doesn't get any worse. And 684 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: within three years during the Super Bowl and now he's 685 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: gone to multiple Super Bowls with two different quarterbacks that 686 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: even the guy he currently has half people to talk 687 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: about football don't even think the guy's good. Jimmy Garoppolo 688 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: definitely was pretty average. Now at the time in nineteen 689 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: he was actually solid, but they went to multiple NFC 690 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: championships after that. With the guy, it's like, it's been 691 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: incredible what he's done. I think one defining attribute of 692 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: both these guys, and Andy Reid definitely has this and 693 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: this is the difference of them right now in Matt Lafleur. 694 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: The emphasis they put on defense, the emphasis they put 695 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: on toughness, the emphasis they put on physicality is undeniable 696 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: and a big reason the Packers in Lafleur's time didn't 697 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl when they had Aaron Rodgers physicality 698 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: if they hadn't be more physical. And this goes back 699 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: to Karthy two back when a lot of people would 700 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: have considered him a top ten coach. In his heyday 701 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: with the Packers, it was defense, defense, defense, defense. You 702 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: have to have a good defense, and these offensive coaches 703 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: that value that it matters and the offensive players you get. Now, 704 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: Andy likes a speed guy, but physicality in your offensive players. 705 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: Look at the moment Andy Reid put Pachaco in. Look 706 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: at the moment Kieran Williams started playing for Sean McVay. 707 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: Look at the moment Christian McCaffrey like physical players. I 708 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: don't care what the rules say in this sport, about 709 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: the flags and all the bullshit. It will always be 710 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: a physical game. And the more physical teams the reason 711 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers did not win a Super Bowl 712 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: last year because Kansas City was more physical on defense. 713 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: And listen, Kyle made a mistake, There's no doubt about it. 714 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: Hiring Steve Wilkes. Why the guy got fired at the 715 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: end of the season in a tough spot, losing to Miko. 716 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: They didn't really have a guy on staff. Now he 717 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: goes with Sorenston. There's gonna be a lot of pressure 718 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: on him. But I think both Sean McVay and Kyle 719 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: shanahan have lost a ton of coaches a ton and 720 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: they just keep on chugging. And here's the other thing, 721 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: Like their coaches go on and they're like impressive. You're 722 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: like Kevin O'Connell, impressive dude. Lafleur, impressive dude. Mike McDaniel, 723 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: even though I don't think the Dolphins are going anywhere 724 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: somehow getting to the playoffs losing every year. But why 725 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: didn't put him on this list. I would not take 726 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel over any of these guys. Robert Solis hasn't 727 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: been great, but Demiko Ryans like they are. It changes 728 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: your life to coach for these people, just like I mean, 729 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: it still does. But for a long long period of 730 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 1: time in Philadelphia and then early on in Kansas City, 731 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 1: Andy Reid changed people's lives and a lot of those 732 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: guys went on to have success, right, Doug Peterson won 733 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Sean McDermott has won a ton in Buffalo, 734 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera went to a super Bowl. You know, So 735 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: that is the stain on Belichick's kind of legacy is 736 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: really two things. One, he thought Brady couldn't play anymore. 737 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,919 Speaker 1: Brady could into all of his coaches suck like they're 738 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: not like, yeah, it was kind of mediocre. It's like, no, 739 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: this guy sucks. Like we got to get Josh McDaniel's 740 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: out of the building. This guy he could not finish 741 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,919 Speaker 1: the Matt Patricia like, get him out. You don't say 742 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: that about McVay and Kyle's guys, like you want to 743 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: be around them more. So I got Kyle one, Sean 744 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: McVay two. Obviously Andy would have been the easy call. 745 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 1: But why I removed him, I don't know. I guess 746 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: I felt pretty good. I don't even think there's I 747 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: guess you could make the argument for McDaniel. I can't. 748 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I think he's good. I'd 749 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: have him probably eleven or twelve. If Rabel was in 750 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 1: the league, he definitely would have been in the mix, 751 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: and I would imagine he'll get in the mix, but 752 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: this was a fun little exercise the volume
