1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: It's a tough sports not for everybody. You gotta be 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: a little sick to love this game. And we got 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: some picos. 4 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: Welcome to NFL Daily, Saturday Sickos edition. And yes, NFL 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 2: Daily is a place where you have to be a 6 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: little sick to go through all the different men in 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: the league that might be losing their jobs in the 8 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: coming weeks. But we're not dunking on them. We're not 9 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: celebrating the fact that it does really pique the interest 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: I think of all the teams that are out of. 11 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: The mix in the NFL. 12 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: I'm Greg Rosenthal, I'm with Ali Connelly from the Read 13 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: Optional podcast and sub stack. Are you ready to go 14 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: through all of the coaching situations and then at the 15 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: end get a little more positive talk about the candidates 16 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: we might want to see get jobs in this cycle. 17 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: I'm very ready. Maybe a couple of guys I have 18 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 3: with Duncan, I think just a couple. It's a couple, 19 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 3: hero that's fine. Some intriguing potential openings. 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Now now you're not technically like an employee of the NFL, 21 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: so you can do that. That's what you're bringing from 22 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: another continent that you're just feeling free and easy. Ihearts 23 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: taking care of Ali. So you can say whatever you 24 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: want about the Cleveland Browns. No, actually they have a 25 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: good head coach. So here's what I'm gonna do to 26 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 2: start the show. I'm just kinda break it up, and 27 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: you can disagree with how I broke it up, but basically, 28 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: go through all the situations that we think there's going 29 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: to be a change or could be a change. Maybe 30 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: come up with a number at the end of like 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: the rough over under of how many coaching changes there's 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: going to be, talk about some potential surprises, and then 33 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: at the end we'll go through some of the candidates 34 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: we think will be popular on this cycle. So I 35 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: went with four definites. We'll call this he gone or 36 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: you know they're already open. The Titans and the Giants, 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: they've already made a change at head coach. And the 38 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: other two I would put in this category would be 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns and the Las Vegas Raiders. 40 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: You know, I've been wrong before, but. 41 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: I just can't see a scenario where they bring back 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski. I believe they're going to do a full 43 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: reboot in Cleveland in terms of the front office and 44 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: the head coaching staff. 45 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? 46 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: I agree with that, and I think it's time Stefensk. 47 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: I watched now and he just seems so fatigue and 48 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 3: tired that to kind of get up and go again, 49 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: I think is tough. And I think looking at the 50 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: cycle in general, that I know he's probably going to 51 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 3: be in the mix because of how Finn the other 52 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: options out. But I would really advise Kevin Stefenski, know 53 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: that he cares about my pen to go and do 54 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: the year off stuff. Go and do the toll, Go 55 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: and do the Mike mccot thing, Go and sit and 56 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: do the McAfee show for you whatever, Go and do 57 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: the Rabel thing. Get on someone's sideline for a year 58 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: and just take a year out to chill, get yourself 59 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 3: back in the next cycle. I think he's as ready 60 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 3: to go as they are ready to move on. Yeah, 61 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: I think that benefited Mike Rabel. 62 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: I guess. 63 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: I guess we'll never know what the Patriots would have 64 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: looked like a year before if they had hired Vabel 65 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: instead of Mayo. But it just makes logical sense. He's 66 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: a two time Coach of the Year winner. Here's the thing, 67 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: though we'll go through. There's not like slam dunk options 68 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: to hire this year, and I think Kevin Stefanski will 69 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: be high on some teams' list. But I think when 70 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: you make the case for the Browns front office too, 71 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: and you think, wow, this draft class is great, and 72 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: then you look at the cap situation they're in next year, 73 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: and if you actually just even remove the Deshaun Watson 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: of it all, you know, the worst trade in the 75 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: history of the NFL. They have so many veteran players 76 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: that aren't going to be on the team next year 77 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: or shouldn't be on the team next year that they're 78 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 2: going to be paining that aren't even there, and that's 79 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: all because of the front office and whatever their identity was, 80 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: it's gone now, like that offensive line like does not 81 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: exist anymore. So I think you need a total fresh 82 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: start in Cleveland. 83 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: I agree with you, because even the positives would be okay, 84 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: we have a league leading defense. We know how up 85 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: and down the Iziatia kind of some crucial contributors older 86 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: or aging and probably won't be on the team next season. 87 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: You've got to re sign them at fat deals. And 88 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: then I think we just fall upoon Maybe Jim Schwaltz 89 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: gets hired elsewhere, maybe you bring it in, you ed 90 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: coach who doesn't want to work with Jim Schwoaltz, so 91 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: trying to think that thing can sustain throughout. I think 92 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: you just thank he Andrew Berry for drafting costs in 93 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: Swiss and during Quinslon Judkins and Harold Finnen, and you 94 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 3: see him on his way. 95 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. The Raiders are the other team here, and I 96 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: do want I wonder if Jim Schwartz we didn't write 97 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: him down as retreats, he certainly will be a popular 98 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator candidate. I wonder if Cleveland would even think 99 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: about him. If they if they just want to elevate 100 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: him and not get too funky, that wouldn't totally shock me. 101 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: The Raiders are the other team here. I just can't 102 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: see how Pete Carroll survives this. I think they'll keep 103 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: the front office and give that front office a chance 104 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: to make another head coaching higher. It's just been one 105 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 2: of the most disorganized, like one and done looking seasons 106 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: from the outside that I can imagine. 107 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: Do you agree there? 108 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? I didn't think any way I could get Modus 109 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 3: functional in Girodmeyo in New England. Somehow Pete one of 110 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: the old time greats. Final way to Tepen and just 111 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: the though process throughout. So they go from Tom Brady, 112 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: who is running the organization. I get raiders funds all 113 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 3: the time. I'm telling me he's not running the organization. 114 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: You're overstating it. Pete Carroll at his press conference set 115 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: this is Tom Brady's chance to run a franchise. So 116 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: they go from Ben Jonson and Matthew Stafford as a 117 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: package deal to Pete Carroll training for Gino Smith. He 118 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: brings his buddy in from Michigan, John spy Tech, who 119 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: worked with with the books. They draft their running back 120 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: sixth overall and they turn him over to Pete's kid 121 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: running the offensive line. The worst group and coaching job 122 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: I've seen in fifteen years running an offensive line. 123 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: So they do that. 124 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: They make Chip Kelly the highest paid coordinator in the 125 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 3: history of the sport. Whatever you think of Chip Kelly personality, skills, 126 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: all that stuff, it'd be nice if you paid someone 127 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: that much money to let them do the job they 128 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: were hired to do. They bring back Patrick Grame, which 129 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: I thought was a sensible idea, but then tell him 130 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: to run not his defense, to run Pete's defense from 131 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: like twelve years ago that's completely outdated. It is the 132 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 3: most dysfunctional situation I think you could imagine. And the 133 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: only thing I think you can hold on to to 134 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: have some kind of overlay and some kind of a 135 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: language continuity between the entire franchise will be to keep 136 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: spy tech and reset again with the staff. 137 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is the time a year that you 138 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: get a lot of reports in the media that are 139 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: thinly veiled attempts to blame the coach or the front office. 140 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: And we've had some of that in Vegas, but sometimes 141 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: it's convincing, and you just made the convincing case of 142 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: why Carol. Ultimately when you're looking at the draft picks too, 143 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: that like some of these guys were were Carrol's guys 144 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: that I'm okay blaming it on Carol for this year. Obviously, 145 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: nothing is one hundred percent one guy's fault, but I'm 146 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: okay with them redoing it. 147 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: It's not his fault, but he's clearly the power center 148 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: of the organization. The draft picks look like his draft 149 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 3: picks from the end in Seattle, and yet then they 150 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: don't play. So if the front office was like, could 151 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: you please play the rookies anyway that we selected, he 152 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 3: chooses not to play, and we get the weird reports 153 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: where the rookies are trying out along the offensive line 154 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 3: because the line stinks. Then he pulls it last second, 155 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: being like, you know what, they're not very good and 156 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: you just can't have that kind of stuff. And he 157 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: was supposed to bring in organizational competence that was the point, 158 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: then handed off to someone else after a couple of seasons. 159 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: It's one of the biggest miss fives. I think we've 160 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: seen in recent times that. 161 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 2: The one last job does not work in the NFL. 162 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: I do think it's a it's a young man's game, 163 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: or at least like whatever you want to say when 164 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: you're in your fifties and sixties on your second job. 165 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: That that part of your career. 166 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: I will get agis it reminds me a lot of 167 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: the Mike Holmgren presidential era in Cleveland, not as a coach, 168 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: when he was the front office guy in Cleveland. It's 169 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: just like, yeah, Pete Carroll can buy a lot more 170 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: boats now. 171 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: I will say, though, I'm a big fun of the 172 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: retread candidates more than consensus. Everyone likes like the hot 173 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: young thing. I think if you look at the history 174 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: of the league, whether it's Belichick in New England, Variable 175 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: in New England, now Pete in Seattle, Gary Kubiak, I 176 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: think there's a lot to be said for the retreat 177 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: guys Stefenskiao be intrigued by, but I think they get 178 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: the second chance. And you've always gotta have one year out. 179 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: You got to go recharge, You go around, you prove 180 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: your energy, you go and discover new ideas, you build 181 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: a new, youngest staff around you. I think doing it 182 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: at that age was a was a step too far. 183 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: Hell, how about John Fox's Broncos making it to the 184 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I don't know if that's a winner or not. Okay, 185 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: now in my next category, and so that's four teams 186 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: we have that I feel pretty confident about. Although the 187 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: reporting in Cleveland in Vegas hasn't been clear. It just 188 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: you've seen enough of these situations before to have a 189 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: good feel the two. I'm leaning that there will be 190 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: a change. I thought about putting the Falcons in the 191 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: definite category. I did not, but I think Raheem Morris 192 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: is certainly in trouble, and even though the reporting's been 193 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: mixed in Arizona, I've just seen enough of these where 194 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: when a team starts getting their teeth kicked in over 195 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: and over at the end of the year, it's year three, 196 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: which is supposed to be the big build year. Jonathan 197 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 2: Gannon's a defensive coach. I've liked a lot of the 198 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: things they've done over the last few years. It's been 199 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: an interesting team to watch that I think overachieved for 200 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: two years and then now underachieving this year. I just 201 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: think the way this season is gone, I'd be a 202 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: little surprised if Gannon is there, barring some three game 203 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: winning streak at the end of the season, which can 204 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: always change things. 205 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: Even then, I think to the Rams game and for 206 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: the entire second half they are completely blown out and 207 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: the cameras just hold a month y. Austin full sat 208 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: next to Michael Bidwell for like two straight hours and 209 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: he's telling him, trust me, the roster is pretty good. 210 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 3: Go look at the draft class, Will Johnson, Walton Nolan 211 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: not bad. If you look at the defensive draft class, 212 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: this isn't me, this is Jonathan, it's Nick and I 213 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: think it's pretty clear those guys themselves are like looking 214 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: for property in Miami or something like that, because it 215 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: just feels like everything's checked out and it's done. 216 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: I didn't. 217 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you figure Kyler Murray is done with this organization. 218 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: That's assuming Austin for It is there, which I would 219 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: tend to believe he'll get another chance. But you never 220 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: know what the bid wells. The Cardinals have been an 221 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: unpredictable organization over the years, and so like they have 222 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: some pieces, they're not in the worst situation. Would you 223 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: rather be the next head coach of the Falcons or 224 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 2: the Cardinals? 225 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 3: Falcons for division, not for the roster. If you gave 226 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: me the roster straight up, I probably take the Cardinal 227 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: want a push, but to be in the NFC South, 228 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: I would prefer to be in the NFC West. Uh. 229 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is tricky. 230 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 2: If you put the Cardinals even in the NFC South 231 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: this year, who knows, we might be talking about just 232 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: like a six and eight team that's vaguely disappointing but 233 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: but got by because there were a lot of close 234 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: losses early for that Cardinals team. 235 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Do you think they'll clean out? If you had to guess? 236 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: Raheem and Terry Fontina Terry Fontinau. You know that would 237 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: be a third head coach that he would get to 238 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: hire if if they didn't. And I'm like holding out 239 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: a little space here when we're doing this three weeks 240 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: out that sometimes these final weeks can change things. These 241 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: two teams actually play each other on Sunday, and if 242 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: Atlanta ever got something going down the stretch, maybe Arthur 243 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 2: Blank could could convince himself to give this group another chance. 244 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 3: I would lean to Wed if I was off the Blank, 245 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: I think I'd lean towards keeping Raheem and letting Terry go. 246 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 3: I think Terry's the worst talent evaluate thor an executive 247 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 3: in the NFL is flattering. 248 00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 2: Wow. 249 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: I think he's about it, and I think his major 250 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: key decision has proved that. And you can't have as 251 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: many seismic bad decisions as he's had training a first 252 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: round pick for James Pierce, giving them money, his Kirk Cousins, 253 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 3: drafting Michael Pennix. Individually, they're all fireable offenses. He's got 254 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: three of them on the rap sheet, and I do 255 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 3: think Arthur Blank will sit back and look and say 256 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 3: Bill Belichick disaster at North Carolina but that was kind 257 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: of my door be option. This guy convinced me not 258 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: to do it because he's scared of his own job 259 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: and all of the staff around him, which I get 260 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: self preservation understand. But maybe I should have taken door 261 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: B and given it a chance. And so I think 262 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 3: they'll do that now. I would be inclined to give 263 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 3: Raheem one last go around, just because the options are 264 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: pretty thin. I really respect him. I think what he's 265 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: done defensively, Jeff Ulbrock has been pretty impressive remaking it 266 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: and making it better than the sum of the parts 267 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 3: Terry has given to him. So I'd be open to 268 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 3: that eventuality. It's just hard to see that they would 269 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 3: do kind of a nuclear reset at the front office 270 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: scouting department and also keep the. 271 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: Head coach you mentioned Obrok, who we didn't write down 272 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 2: on our defensive guys. I mean this is a kind 273 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: of a wide open group of candidates. Who knows he 274 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: could get some looks, maybe even by the Falcons. Yeah, Raheem, 275 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: I thought he'd be better second time around. I don't 276 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: think it's crazy, but I also think it's dangerous when 277 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 2: if you're looking for a general manager requiring him to 278 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: keep the head coach that's there. It's always a little tricky, Okay. 279 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 2: So if those two were gone, and I'm just leaning 280 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: that way with Atlanta, that would that would be six, 281 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: which maybe is around my over under. My next two 282 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: teams where I'm leaning safe are the Bengals and the Jets. 283 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 2: I think the Bengals should make a change. Do you 284 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: agree that they should make a change. 285 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 3: Oh, it's two years ovid was Zach Tayler, I think, 286 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 3: and it's really triggered. I don't want to cyclee psychoanalyize 287 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, the stuff going on, you know, the press 288 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 3: conferences and all that jazz. If they're going to make 289 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: a change, I think the easiest, most palatable one to 290 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 3: make is to go and get Joe Brady from the Bills. 291 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: I don't think every coaching candidate is a fit for 292 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: every jomb I think those guys are very rare. I 293 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 3: think Vrabel and Johnson the last cycle. Other than that, 294 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: you're looking for a very specific guy for a very 295 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: specific place based on what you have. I think someone 296 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 3: needs to push Joe Borrow more than he's been pushed 297 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 3: in his life, and the guy to do that would 298 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: be the person he had the most success in his 299 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 3: life with with Joe Brady LSU Joe Brady's evolved his 300 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: style of offense. Joe Burrow desperately needs to accept and 301 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: evolve his style of play as he kind of matures 302 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: through the stage of his career. And so if you 303 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: bring in a guy who really respects said the best 304 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: time of his life with in college, I think that 305 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: would be a really smart fit and a really smart change. Otherwise, 306 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: I'm not sure to be worth as kind of ripping 307 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 3: Zach Taylor out to have just put any name be 308 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: in there. 309 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: So Zach Taylor took a lot of questions at his 310 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 2: last press conference about a report that his contract had 311 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: been extended without it being reported previously until twenty twenty seven. 312 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 2: So that would mean there would be two years left 313 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 2: on the deal, that he would not be a lame 314 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 2: duck coach next year, which was always a conversation towards 315 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: the end of Marvin Lewis. 316 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: Sometimes they let it go to the end. 317 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: Sometimes they wouldn't in that and Marvin Lewis would just stay. 318 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that report is correct based on the way 319 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor answered the questions, which were non answers that 320 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 2: made me really feel like he is going to be safe, 321 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 2: and the people that cover that team generally don't think 322 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: Duke Tobin, who really is the personnel chief, is in 323 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: any sort of trouble that there's almost like a zero 324 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: percent chance Duke Tobin would lose his job, and that 325 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor is not far off from that zero percent. 326 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: You never know, though, Like I you just seen enough 327 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: of these seasons end. They just lost two straight games 328 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: to you know, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. If you 329 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: happen to lose three more in a row to Quinn Yours, 330 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett and Sar Sanders, like, yeah, that might make 331 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: it tough. So win some of these games. I know 332 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: it shouldn't matter, but like if it did, I don't know. 333 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: It feels like based on how they've upraateded the last year, 334 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: like the most impactful guy in the building was low 335 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: on a rum where they kicked him out. They blamed 336 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: him for everything, So it feels like the logic doesn't 337 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: play into things with them. Obviously it's heavily money based. 338 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: It feels like it's really up to Joe Burrow if 339 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 3: he does to knocked on the door and had the meeting. 340 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: He could probably have the power to get this thing done. 341 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: He had the power to make them go and build 342 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 3: a roster in a ludicrous way in the modern game, 343 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: because he wanted to keep all his pals around and 344 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 3: pay him big money, get himself some big money. So 345 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: could he just knock on the door and say, I 346 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: think this thing is run? Its close? So that's why 347 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: I'm unhappy playing the sport. If I had someone new 348 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: and him, maybe I would enjoy it a little bit more. 349 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of where it sits, and I 350 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: have not seen anything that would suggest the I mean, 351 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: dark Dale lets Joe Borrow do everything he wants to 352 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: do on offense. So does he really want to go 353 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: and chase something new? I would hope that he does. 354 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: The Jets are the other team. I just threw in 355 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: here just because Florio, Mike Florio threw it out. I 356 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: didn't knowing him working for him. There's probably something to that. 357 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: I don't think he's just throwing it out. So that 358 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: was surprising to me that he would even put that 359 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: up as a possibility that Aaron Glenn could be won 360 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: and done. But the Jets are as Chaotica a franchise 361 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: and making these types of decisions as we have, So 362 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: you can't can't totally rule it out. How have you 363 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: felt about Aaron Glenn's first year post post Steve Wilkes fire. 364 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: You now, Yeah, disaster. I think he should be one 365 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 3: and done. I don't think they'll do it, and I 366 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: think they've got to look at it now and say 367 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 3: it's a different job than the one we hired him for. 368 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: We hired him for this kind of like mini reset. 369 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 3: We were going to sign Justin Fields as a bridge 370 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: quarterback multi year deal. We think we've got young talent. 371 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 3: The defense should be good, he's a defensive guy. It's 372 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: been an abomination all the way around, both kind of 373 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: the culture and the style and the environment there then 374 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: the on field performance. They have players quitting all the time. 375 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: I thought that linebackers quit in like week nine. Then 376 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: Steve Wilkes leaks not very well that he believed the 377 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: linebackers quit in like week twelve. He's a couple of 378 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: weeks later to figure that out. And so it's now 379 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: a job where it's a full on reset with this 380 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 3: massive cash of ammunition to go and reinvigorate the franchise 381 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: and do you want to turn that over to him now? 382 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: You could nail the personnel decisions and then hand it 383 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: off to someone else in a couple of years. I 384 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: would just like to have a full reset and go 385 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: again with the guy we think could be here six seven, 386 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 3: eight years. And I just I just don't see what Glunn. 387 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: Sometimes you just get the feeling and you know immediately 388 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 3: like this is not going to work out for five 389 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: six years. And I just have that feeling with Arton Glunn. 390 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: You may you make a case, and it makes me 391 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: think maybe it is more possible in general because of 392 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: the history there. You mentioned the Steve Wilkes source. I 393 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 2: think you're referring to the Justina Anderson tweet. But to 394 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: assume that that was Steve Wilkes in the in the 395 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 2: tweet in this that he was the source and it's 396 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 2: a wild one. Check out Justina anderson jets tweet from 397 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 2: this week. You would have to assume then that Steve 398 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: Wilks is sort of talking in the third person about 399 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: Steve Wilkes to Justina Anderson. 400 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 3: He could all that is true. It could also be 401 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 3: really bad reportage in which you're trying to cover up 402 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: the source, but you accidentally leave two bits in the 403 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: early part of the quote that reveals the source that 404 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 3: that's been done before. 405 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: I mean, their linebackers have been bad. I'll, i'll, I'll 406 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: back up the linebackers. 407 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 3: This is for the truth that go is one thing 408 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 3: I always do towards the end of the season when 409 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 3: teams I think acquitting is you go and you pull 410 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: up their interception return tape. How interested are they in 411 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 3: interception return? It tells you everything about a football team 412 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: used to be kickoff stuff. We don't got that normal 413 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: interception return. They don't even have an interception return to 414 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 3: pull up the tape to find out if these guys 415 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: care to actually play football anymore. And the interested in 416 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 3: blocking is the sideline going crazy. A guy's racing out 417 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 3: there to celebrate from the offensive side. You watch the Niners, 418 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 3: just a decimated squad. You can go and find the 419 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: Lnor interception against the Texans, everyone is trying to race 420 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: out onto the field before the plays even over. They 421 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: are so fired up and giddy to have got the ball, 422 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 3: but everyone is looking for work. Everyone's punching up and 423 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: stouts running all over the place. The Jets don't even 424 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: have that. I went to look at passes deflected to 425 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: see if those one those guys thought they had so 426 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: then then they would get involved in the action. Don't 427 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: even have that on film. So it's just a limp, 428 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: lifeless defense to me, which is what he was brought 429 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 3: in to completely regenerate. If that's the selling point, I 430 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: think that's just been proven to be wrong. 431 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they had a moment. 432 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: It was that victory over the Falcons, which is a 433 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: very strange game if you watch that, where I thought, okay, 434 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn has talked all year about the twenty twenty 435 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: one Lions their first season there about how towards the 436 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: end of the season. Yes, they started out with a 437 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: horrible record with Jared Goffee lost his first seven games, 438 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: but by the end of the season they were playing hard. 439 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: You could see the vision. 440 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: It was resulting in some wins, but you could just 441 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 2: more see it on the field, and I thought, okay, 442 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 2: that Falcons, when maybe this is the start of something. 443 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 2: And yeah, in the two weeks since they've they've gotten 444 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: absolutely destroyed and the defense has been a total disaster. 445 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 3: It's the thing though, that that selling point of the 446 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: Lions includes this idea that Dan Campbelly took play calling 447 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 3: to Anthony Lenny took it for himself that he got 448 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: Ben Jonson. So is the Steve Volk's a sacrificial lem 449 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 3: to that because that happened way in the end. And 450 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 3: Don Campbell's had a very clear vision fall when we 451 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: are good, when we're playing in a title game, this 452 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 3: is what the team will look like. And this isn't acceptable. 453 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 3: It does not look like that right now. I don't 454 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 3: get that vibe by firing GluN that he understands today 455 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 3: what a Jets team under our and Glenn would look 456 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: like in the AFC title game, and like we're racing 457 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 3: towards that vision in the final four weeks. You'll kind 458 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: of see the small embers of it. 459 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's also a team who I wouldn't you know? 460 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 2: It's I rarely think the NFL teams are tanking because 461 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 2: obviously the players on the field are playing for various reasons. 462 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 2: Some of them are not giving great efforts, as you 463 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 2: point out, but other others are and are on a 464 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: you know, I think they're trying to win when they're 465 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: out there, but they are playing Brady Cook this week. 466 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: I should have noted on our preview show in a 467 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: week where it does appear that Justin Field and or 468 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor might be available. So that's about as close 469 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: to tanking as you really see. 470 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: It is that and continue to play. Quincy Williams is like, 471 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 3: oh boys, we're out of this thing. 472 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: Okay, why don't we take a quick break just because 473 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: I think this is a good spot for it. So 474 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 2: we've gone over eight situations. We're leaning that there'll be 475 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: about six gone. But Bengals and Jets are are a 476 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: coupled to watch. I'm most fascinated in this cycle about 477 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: the potential surprises because we could get some big names 478 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: available based on how the end of the season goes. 479 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit about the Ravens, Colts, and 480 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: Bills after the weak back on NFL Daily. If you're 481 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: listening to this, it's probably Saturday. We got Saturday games. 482 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: Maybe it's Sunday and they've already happened. We've got college 483 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: football playoff games. I'm wearing my RMFW two lane sweatshirt, 484 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: if you know. You know, So let's hope that it's 485 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: going well in the alternate universe that you're listening to 486 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: this Let's talk about what could be the most interesting 487 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: part of this coaching cycle, and that's the teams with 488 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 2: big name coaches where the last handful of weeks of 489 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: the season could change things and maybe someone big shakes loose. 490 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: And I'll start with the Colts, who I've asked around 491 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 2: a little bit about, and I think there's a bigger 492 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 2: chance that Shane Ssyken does not keep his job. Then 493 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 2: the public would assume because a he's coached pretty well. 494 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: I think considering their situation, you can see it. You 495 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: saw the vision for it. Obviously with Daniel Jones. Everyone 496 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 2: wants a good play caller. And then b you can't 497 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: really blame this collapse on him when when all the 498 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: players that were making it happen suddenly get hurt on defense, 499 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: on offense, obviously what was happening. And so logically you're like, oh, yeah, 500 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 2: you would keep Shane stykeen and who knows, maybe they 501 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 2: will win some games with Philip Rivers, but assuming they 502 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: don't make the playoffs, you would think he'd be safe. 503 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: But I've talked to people and they basically view that 504 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: as new ownership, Like, yeah, it's Jim Mersey's daughter, but 505 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: she's gonna want her own people in there and put 506 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: an imprint on the organization. On top of that, Chris 507 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: Ballard's been there for a decade and this was always 508 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: a win or else year. And even if about really 509 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 2: bad luck is one of the reasons, if not the 510 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: biggest reason they don't make the playoffs, that that there 511 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 2: still would be a real chance that if they go 512 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 2: from seven to one to eight and nine, she's not 513 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: gonna care about why, and that she might be looking 514 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: for a big fish or just to make a change. 515 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: Do you think that would be the right move. 516 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: I don't think it would be the right move. I 517 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: agree with you, though. I've spoken to people on the 518 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: cult side, on the coaching side, and there's real fifth 519 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: that they think this is it and it's a rap. 520 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 3: Really just don't normally expect from guys who were in 521 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: the hunt for Coach of the Year where they all 522 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 3: get little, you know, statues from the head coach for 523 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: saying we all did a great job. That's where they 524 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: thought this was ending up by the time they got 525 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: to the Christmas party. That is not how it's feeling 526 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,239 Speaker 3: there right now. And it's a real shame because how 527 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: could you have done any better than they did to 528 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 3: open the season putting up historic stuff on offense, which 529 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 3: is his main task. And I get what you're saying 530 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 3: about the new ownership, and I agree with that. I mean, 531 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: making the trade that it for Sauce God was a 532 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 3: classic new owner move. Let's go all in. Let's not 533 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 3: accept that our quarterbacks, Daniel Jones, Let's compromise the future 534 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 3: for the now because we believe for a championship can 535 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: and the one we're probably not. So I think that 536 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 3: that kind of eraticism is to be expected when you 537 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 3: get a new owe and so it wouldn't surprise me 538 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: the Slights if they decide to move on. 539 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: Look, Carly Ursa Gordon has impressed a lot of people 540 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 2: with how she's operated, and if she was, you know, 541 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: making a surprising decision, that would be in keeping with 542 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: her father's legacy. 543 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 3: Uh. 544 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: Certainly at the beginning of his career with in Indianapolis, 545 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 2: which was more of a disaster, and he's he's talked 546 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 2: about how substance abuse affected that, and that's not what 547 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 2: we're talking about. We're talking about someone who, yeah, just 548 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: might have her own ideas of how she wants the 549 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: organization to be running. 550 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 1: It's ultimately up to her. 551 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 3: The distinction here from the typical New Ownes syndrome like 552 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 3: when the Walton's brought the Broncos and it's like, go 553 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 3: and get us Russell Wilson. We're gonna go trade draft 554 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: picks for the famous head coach robn do like a 555 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 3: coaching search of the you own cool candidates. Is she 556 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: has a football life. She's been working the football department 557 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: since she was like a teenager. That is a bit 558 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 3: different when you've lived through it, being through so many 559 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 3: different regimes, anyway, she will have a good sense of 560 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 3: what looks like it's working, well, what isn't. I think 561 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: it's pretty hard to pin the current situation on the 562 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 3: regime that's there, unless you're just saying that we looked 563 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: into Daniel Jones in a sense that was never sustainable. 564 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 3: We're only in that situation because of Chris Ballard, and 565 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 3: then it would be hard to meet to say, well, 566 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 3: I'm gonna blame sheen Stike. And also, but as always, 567 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 3: it's hard to remove the coach. Sorry, keep the coach 568 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: and remove the GM. 569 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe there's interpersonal dynamics you don't know about. You 570 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 2: don't know like who's friends with who inside the building, 571 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 2: how all the relationships are, and so there could be 572 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: more to it. But just from the outside looking in, 573 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: even if I'm blah on Ballard over the years, right now, 574 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: they have a lot of pieces where continuity seems to 575 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: make a lot of sense. And I include Anna Rumo 576 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: in that, I include a lot of that offensive line 577 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 2: that Ballard built in that, and that it makes sense 578 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 2: with Stich and they got to figure out quarterback. But 579 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: it to me, it seems like holding pat and giving 580 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 2: this group one more year at least would be the 581 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: way to go. The Ravens and Steelers, let's kind of 582 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: blend them together. I do think that there's like a 583 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: greater chance that one of these two head coaches are 584 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: not back next year than probably conventional wisdom has it. 585 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: The more stuff that came out about Tomlin, the more 586 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: I thought, maybe Mike Tomlin doesn't want to be there. 587 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: That's That's basically was my read on it. 588 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: Whether he was kind of doing the old Parcels and 589 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 2: Sean Payton playbook where they had a job and they 590 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 2: had years left on their contract, but they were clearly 591 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: making obvious to the rest of the NFL heye, does 592 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: anyone want to come get me? That's just my read 593 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 2: without asking around about that. When it comes to Tomlin, 594 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 2: what do you think about the Steelers, Let's start there. 595 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like I'm a broken breck 596 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: on this. When the reason a guy keeps his job 597 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: is the alls I have a here is how quick 598 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 3: someone else would hire him. It's no longer a defense 599 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 3: of the job he has in the place he currently is, 600 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 3: and it is just every year like clockwork. And we 601 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 3: had it this with a bit of a lucy use 602 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: report that we're going to get the chef to up day, 603 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 3: that a team is so willing to go and get 604 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin. And then he signs a contract extension this 605 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: year a little bit different with the oh there's an 606 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 3: option and so he's safe for next year, but the 607 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 3: option for the following year. What that makes me think 608 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: he would be potentially available and would sign off on 609 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 3: a trade to somewhere like the Giants, somewhere he respects, 610 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 3: somewhere he thinks he could turn the thing around pretty 611 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 3: quickly and kind of immediately move into just a better 612 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 3: situation for the medium to that he's constructed himself where 613 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: he currently is, and. 614 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: I wonder where the Steelers are at in this. 615 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 2: It seems like they would rather just well, let's just 616 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: keep keeping him and even if there's shortcomings. They must 617 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: see these reports out there. They're obviously more in tune 618 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: with it than we are. And wonder if their coach 619 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: has a wandering eye. And this is where you know 620 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 2: how these seasons end mean everything. Unfortunately, I think that's 621 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 2: short sighted to base it all on the last few 622 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: games of the season when you have a track record 623 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 2: of like what he is great at as a coach, 624 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 2: and I think he could be someone that is better 625 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 2: in another spot, but just needs he needs a refresh. 626 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: Maybe the Steelers need a refresh. 627 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 2: They finish at Detroit, at Cleveland, and then home for Baltimore. 628 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 2: There's a pretty realistic scenario where they've clinched the division 629 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: before even playing Baltimore. If the Ravens can't pull off 630 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: wins here and so if the Steelers that have a 631 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 2: home playoff game, and it's just hard for me to 632 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 2: imagine that thing changing. If the Ravens don't make the playoffs, 633 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: I think Harball's out. That's just that is just a 634 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: total gut thought. It just feels like time. I personally 635 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: think he probably should be out if they don't make 636 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 2: the playoffs, And in general, it just feels like time. 637 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean he doesn't have a million strengths as a 638 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: as a head coach and that he had a great run, 639 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: but all runs have to end sometime. And I would 640 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: think about, if I'm the owner there in the front office, 641 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 2: do we want John Harbad being the head coach of 642 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson his entire career. 643 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: I kind of want to see something else. 644 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: I just would you're in the camp of Mike mcdondall right, 645 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: you just want to see Lamar with mcdoniel. 646 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: I think, I mean that would be fun. 647 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: That's I mean, you could suggest out of our other options, 648 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: who else would be fun there? Like would Kevin Stefanski 649 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: be fun there? I do think that's an organization where 650 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: maybe the head coach is it's it's not like Pete 651 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: Carroll and Seattle or anything. It's part of a larger 652 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 2: operation and you slide ahead coach and Brian Billock to me, 653 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: was not like leading that organization. And Harbaugh's been great 654 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: at what he does, but sometimes it's the coordinators and 655 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: it's everything else. It's a whole system. So let's let's 656 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: just plug someone else in the system. We're not taking 657 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 2: Lamar out, so let's let's plug that spot differently. 658 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 3: I do imagine if they did it, it would be 659 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 3: so within the family. I imagine that's why Jesse Mint 660 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 3: would have his eye lays it on. He could go 661 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 3: and do that. 662 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm with you. 663 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 3: I think it's time. I think in both organizations is 664 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 3: a real sense fatigue. I think particularly the Stealers have 665 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 3: run out of ideas, but with the Ravens too, it 666 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 3: feels like they're out of ideas and you could find 667 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 3: a new voice that's within the family, which is pretty 668 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: unusual for a team to get, and a team that 669 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 3: cares about that stuff. And so I just think if 670 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 3: Jesse Mint is available and he's going to be a 671 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 3: head coach for fifteen years in the league, I'd want 672 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: to be on that train early rather than hang around 673 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 3: and go down the end of the cliff with Harbor 674 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: here where we should be better than we are and 675 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 3: we watch Jesse minta wander off somewhere else and have. 676 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: A great career. 677 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: Now, it would be really interesting if it was mintor 678 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: head coach and the like kept Todd Munkin, because to me, 679 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: I'm mostly thinking about, all right, who's going to maximize 680 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson? Where are you at with the Todd Munkin experience, 681 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: by the way. 682 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: Not as impressive this year as in previous years. And 683 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: I think about this with all coaches. I think people 684 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: have a tendencies to say they are good they are bad. 685 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: I think people have good seasons, bad seasons. People get tired, 686 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 3: they run out of ideas, the cycle of the league 687 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 3: and kind of ebb and flow in the way your 688 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: philosophic nd of ovlays with the meta trends of the league. 689 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: Someone like Vance Josep I talk about all the time 690 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: I've been banging the drum for him to get a 691 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: head job for like four seasons. I think it's gonna 692 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: cycle lot of him being as useful as he is 693 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 3: right now, and then you're going to hire him the 694 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 3: tail end of the cycle where his defense was a 695 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 3: real value add to have him running your team. And 696 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 3: I feel like that with Munkin, where they've run a 697 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: little bit of out of ideas. Obviously compromised by the 698 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 3: offensive line Lamar's injury, He's not moved the same way, 699 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: but it feels a little more stale compared to the 700 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 3: previous few seasons. 701 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: I'm informed here too by when they did fire Brian Billick, 702 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: and people were surprised. 703 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: I was a super Bowl champion, who wasn't you know? 704 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: The team wasn't a disaster. They had a down year. 705 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 2: Obviously, and I believed all the reports about how close 706 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 2: John Harbaugh was to losing his job before Lamar Jackson 707 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 2: essentially he saved it, and John Harbad knew from the 708 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: minute Lamar started playing like that this is this is 709 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: my guy. And he tried to support him, and he 710 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: supported him publicly. But you just feel like that this organization, 711 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: I think they've seen it and it's just been diminishedinguit 712 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: turns now feels like the time then again, they could 713 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: they they could win these games. They could they could 714 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 2: win a couple of playoff games, and that would that 715 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: would shut me up. 716 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: I'd be a little surprised if that happened. 717 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 3: And I think it's triggy Gus for the Steelers. I 718 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 3: don't see a clear option that you would say we 719 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 3: feel comfortable as if not. An upgrade is pretty similar 720 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 3: and they've not done a coaching search since when like 721 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 3: the twenties, like When's Lesson did an actual coaching search 722 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: for a candidate, Whereas with the Ravens there is that 723 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 3: kind of perfect middle ground of guy who seems me 724 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: peeking at the right time, is ready for that coaching gig. 725 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 3: He knows us when the sounds all language. As you said, 726 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 3: we kind of plug a guy into the building rather 727 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 3: than come and run in, you know, overhaul the whole building. 728 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 3: So I think the timing just makes sense for the Ravens, 729 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: get Lamar and you Voice, get a younger, more exciting, 730 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 3: more innovative stuff. I think that would make sense for them. 731 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 2: I'd be very surprised if former Eagles co worker Sean 732 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 2: McDermott or Andy Reid are not back with their team, 733 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: But I just thought i'd throw throw them out. 734 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: There's a little red meat there. Just you never know. 735 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: In any Reid's case, it would just be for him 736 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: to make a decision that everyone that covers the team 737 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: the most closely says it's just not happening. And he's 738 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 2: signed an extin through twenty nine. You just never know 739 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: at his age, if he would decide to step down. 740 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: That's very unlikely. McDermott's a little different. They're playing well 741 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: right now, it's very easy to imagine them winning playoff games, 742 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: maybe even making the super Bowl, and making this conversation move, 743 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: but in a different world where let's say they finish 744 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 2: twelve and five or eleven and six and they lose 745 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: in the first round. 746 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the Bills situation? 747 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I was more on the McDermott should 748 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 3: leave train last offseason, where I thought you could maybe 749 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 3: go and get one of the super innovative offensive coach 750 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 3: and just pet up with Alan. Could you go and 751 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 3: be the bench If that job was available, every coach 752 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 3: in the lane would be lining up to go take it. 753 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 3: You could have brought Ben Johnson in. I think with 754 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 3: the candidate pool this year, I'd be more inclined to 755 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 3: just give it one more season. I think mcdermot's I 756 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 3: had just done a very impressive coaching job. On game days, 757 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 3: the game plans are being a bit of a whiff 758 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 3: over time, but I think that personnel is pretty poor 759 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 3: and it's grossly overstated, often because of McDermott and because 760 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 3: of Josh Allen, and it's more of a talent evaluation 761 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: issue than it is a game day coach issue. He 762 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 3: may take the fall if they fall shot in the playoffs, 763 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: but I think he's coached pretty well himself on game 764 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 3: days this year and deserves another show. 765 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: I agree, I would lean pretty heavily towards keeping him. 766 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 3: Trying to think, I guess it's the history of the 767 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 3: league is that guys don't stay together this long and 768 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 3: than win that first one. It's just that simple. And 769 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 3: it's the same with Harbor and Lamar Jackson. You just 770 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 3: don't see it where I coach quotes by combination go six, seven, 771 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 3: eight years and finally breakthrough. And so if you're looking 772 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 3: at history of league now Josh Allen is different, maybe 773 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 3: you could do it. Maybe does break through this year. 774 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 3: That would certainly be in my mind if I was 775 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 3: running the team, that a new voice could could be impactful. 776 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good call in terms of like the 777 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: QB conversation, I mean the QB quarterback combination that it 778 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 2: tends to happen earlier. But he's a tricky one McDermott 779 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 2: because I'm trying to think of the perfect quarterback cup. 780 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: Maybe it's Jared Goff like just in terms of where 781 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 2: he is in the pecking order like obviously there are 782 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 2: coaches that are out of level. Sean McDermott's I don't 783 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: think ever gonna get to as in terms of being 784 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: a complete difference making head coach. But yeah, like go 785 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: find a better quarterback than Jared Goff, It's not going 786 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 2: to be that easy for you to do. 787 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 3: So. 788 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: I don't know if like McDermott's that high, and coaches 789 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: I think are ultimately a little easier to fine than quarterbacks. 790 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 2: But there's a big risk if you decide to move 791 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 2: on that it could it could certainly go worse on the. 792 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 3: Read thing quickly is that I find that fascinating because 793 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 3: this is a dynasty on like any other where they've 794 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 3: experienced no brain dream. The only guy to leave is 795 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 3: Eric b Enemy, and that was partly a mutual decision, 796 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: right to go and chase the next Roe of the job. 797 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 3: Lot of we've not had before where they have had 798 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: in combination, the greatest offensive designer of his lifetime, the 799 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 3: greatest defensive coordinator of his generation, the best offensive line 800 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,479 Speaker 3: coach of his generation, and maybe the best special teams 801 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 3: coach of his generation altogether at once all the way through, 802 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 3: they look so out of ideas this season. And I 803 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 3: feel like if Reid doesn't go, I'll be very much 804 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 3: open to and I would hope someone like Patch one 805 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 3: will go and say we need new young fresh faces. 806 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 3: Usually that self manages itself because everyone leaves, everyone left Saban, 807 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 3: everyone left Belichick. You got to go find new people. 808 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 3: They've almost put themselves into this book. It where it's 809 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 3: the same guys all the time, the same voices. So 810 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 3: if Reid doesn't go, I do think they've got to 811 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 3: say Matt Nage, you're out. Someone else that is kind 812 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 3: of shocking, You're out. Maybe Steve Spagnola takes a new job. 813 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 3: But particularly on offense, I think they desperately need new 814 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 3: young voices. 815 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 2: It's a great and weird point about their continuity, which 816 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 2: has been such a strength for them, and like they're 817 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 2: not going to change their offensive line coach. 818 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: But I think you're right that some new fresh voices 819 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: would be great. 820 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: And you think about all the other teams that are 821 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 2: been less successful, the Rams certainly basically anyone in that 822 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 2: coaching tree, but the Ravens too. Like the Ravens have 823 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 2: been cycling through coordinators forever, especially on defense, because they 824 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 2: get better jobs and that just hasn't happened. 825 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: All right, Spagnola is one of the rechreds. Let's go 826 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: through it. You helped divide the list up of. 827 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 2: Potential candidates into different categor so we'll start with the 828 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 2: retreads and I'll throw Jim Schwartz in there too, Although 829 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 2: to me he'd be a long shot. I guess to 830 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 2: get another head coaching job, Spags would be interesting. I 831 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,240 Speaker 2: do think there could be an appetite for him getting 832 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: some interviews, and the Giants specifically would would be an 833 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 2: interesting fit for him. I've listened to Chris Long on 834 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 2: his podcast in the past saying, like, man, it wasn't 835 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 2: Spag's fault in Saint Louis. No one was gonna win 836 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: in that situation. Like we feel bad that, Like Spags 837 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 2: is such a good coach that we let him down 838 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 2: and there is a possibility he could be better the 839 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 2: second time around. But we have McCarthy, Robert Sala I 840 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 2: think could be a guy who gets interest Brian Flores. 841 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 2: If if organizations can can look past the you know, 842 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 2: lawsuit between Flores and the league vance Joseph you already 843 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 2: touched on Ballichick, I guess we could throw in there Stefanski. 844 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 2: Like a lot of names, who who kind of stands out? 845 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 2: Who do you want to start with there? 846 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: The one that stands out to me, I don't know 847 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 3: if you've read him up there is Mike McCarthy. I 848 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 3: think there's not a huge distinction between the resumes of 849 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton, And yet Sean Payton was 850 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 3: heralded because he's friends with everyone in the media, is 851 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 3: being like the guy you gotta go trade draft picks for. 852 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy's just available now. The third go round coach 853 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 3: is a slightly different than the second go round coach, 854 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 3: and I do accept that, But putting him in a 855 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 3: place like Tennessee, where it's just a complete disaster behind 856 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 3: the scenes, there is not a level of accountability, a 857 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 3: level of competence, I think him being a kind of 858 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: bridge guy for young quarterback would make a lot of sense, 859 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 3: whether it's there where it's the Giants, somewhere like that, 860 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 3: where it's like, let's just stabilize, be normal, be ordinary 861 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 3: for two seasons, and then when we want to go 862 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 3: and shoot for the moon, we can thank Mike for 863 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 3: laying the foundations and go find someone else. 864 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 2: Not too different from really what happened in Dallas, although 865 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 2: they did win a lot of games. Yeah, third time around, 866 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 2: I'm a little surprised. I appreciate what you're saying. I 867 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 2: feel like, if Ali's actually running a team, he gives 868 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: McCarthy an interview, he leaks it out to the media 869 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 2: that he's one of the three finalists because he feels 870 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 2: bad for him or likes him like he does genuinely 871 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: like him, but he doesn't hire him. 872 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no no, I would not do that. 873 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,720 Speaker 3: That's true. It's tough because the kind of general picture 874 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 3: of the candidate's list is the retreads and the guys 875 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 3: who have the most cachet. The first of all, I 876 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 3: hate the way we high head coach, which is which 877 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 3: coordinator was good last year? Just makes no sense. Why 878 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 3: guys fail all the time? Do they have the right 879 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 3: schools and stuff to run a building? Is how I 880 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 3: would interview the guys most than just which coordinator did well. 881 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 3: But the offensive guys where it gets tricky. Everyone wants 882 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 3: one of these offensive gurus, one of these offensive minds. 883 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 3: They're all looking for Ben Johnson and Liam Cohen. It's 884 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 3: just pretty dry. If it's not Cliff Kingsbury. It's guys 885 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 3: who are twenty, like Grant Yudensky or Declan Doyle, or 886 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 3: guys who've been the league two or three seasons because 887 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 3: they're in college, so it's tough to find people who fit, 888 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 3: which is where you just kind of a light. I 889 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 3: think if you're just going through offensive pecking order and 890 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 3: you're not in the Kingsbury world, that's just not your 891 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 3: vibe trying to re establish a building. That's when I 892 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 3: think you hit on. Mike McCarthy's like the faults, saying 893 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 3: this isn't the best cycle. We had to move on 894 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 3: from Brian Callaghan. Let's give it to Mike for a 895 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 3: couple of seasons. 896 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 2: I could see it between those other guys are Spags 897 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 2: second time around, f Laura's second time around, Salah, the 898 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 2: defensive guys, Vance, Joseph. 899 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: Who would you like the most? 900 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 3: I always want to go for Vance. I'll say Van, 901 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 3: so it's out there publicly because I really want him 902 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 3: to get a cracker doing it again. The guy I 903 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 3: would hire if my owner approved, you know, interviewing the 904 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 3: guy that he's suing him currently would probably be Flores. 905 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 3: I think he's got the best rolodex to build the 906 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 3: staff around him. I do worry about putting him back 907 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 3: in charge of a whole facility and what that may do, 908 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 3: and what it was like in Miami. Everyone says he's 909 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 3: calmed down. It's not as bad as it used to be. 910 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 3: When the pressure gets mounting and it's stressful and you're 911 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 3: not sleeping and you're in charge of travel again, might 912 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 3: be different. But I think he would be one of 913 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 3: the defensive guys who could find the stream of young 914 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 3: offensive minds. You keep getting picked off the staff every season. 915 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 3: You've got to keep refreshing that the way someone like 916 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 3: McDermot has had to do. I think Flores of those 917 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: guys would be the guy I take the punt on. 918 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 2: And the reality is other than if the Ravens job 919 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 2: opens up. It's not like there's these ready made jobs 920 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 2: where you have a strong front office and ownership situation. 921 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 2: Every one of these jobs is going to have different challenges. 922 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 2: I guess Austin Ford is probably going to be in 923 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 2: place in Arizona, but even that, you just look at 924 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 2: the history there. 925 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,479 Speaker 1: He'd be the most fun to watch. 926 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 3: The highest floor is of Robert Seller. I think Robert 927 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,959 Speaker 3: Sala will always get you in his second go round 928 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 3: to seven wins and that's the floor. Is he and 929 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 3: a guy who can put you over the top. There's 930 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 3: been so much brain drain from the people he's work with. 931 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 3: But I did not love even though he's doing a 932 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 3: very good job this season with the tools available, not 933 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 3: taking the year off, if I was going to hire 934 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 3: him and not going and getting outside of his comfort 935 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 3: zone going back to the Niners. So I think he's 936 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 3: an outstanding coach, excellent defensive guy, could be the Spags 937 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 3: of his generation. Just be the guy everyone wants to 938 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 3: hire as the defensive coach out have loved him to 939 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 3: do a year out and go and survey all the 940 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 3: college campuses and go and find all the cool new 941 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 3: ideas bringing him in and just becomes a fact. Similar 942 00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 3: if that Jets job again and he brings a little 943 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 3: loll back with him, which have a la flow brothers 944 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 3: rolling around, I wouldn't be interested in that. 945 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 2: Jeff l There's not that many Laflair brothers. Mike Michaelfler, 946 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 2: NFL daily guest at training camp back in August. All right, 947 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 2: the defensive guys, then the young guys minter to me, 948 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 2: seems like the top guy and will get a lot 949 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 2: of interviews in this spike in this cycle. Other possibilities, 950 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 2: Chris Schulo will probably get attention from Los Angeles, Like 951 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 2: he's a younger coach that hasn't had a lot of 952 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 2: like experience, like in front of the podium, and like 953 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 2: there will be questions of like, Okay, how can he 954 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 2: lead an entire organization that's fair for most of these 955 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 2: first time coaches. 956 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: Anthony Weaver could get looks. 957 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 2: He's the defensive coordinator with Miami, Jeff Hafley the defensive 958 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 2: coordinator for the Packers, You're beloved Lou and Arumo with 959 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: the Colts right now, and then Anthony Campaneely. I think 960 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 2: that's a probably a year or two ahead from him 961 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 2: really getting attention, but has done a good job with 962 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 2: the Jaguars. Why do you think it sounds like Minter 963 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 2: would be an interesting pick. 964 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's a superstar. I think he's one 965 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 3: of the special ones hiding out there. It's the perfect age, 966 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 3: perfect ideas, perfect pipeline of coaches, whether it's any of 967 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 3: the guys that are left at Michigan or is the 968 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 3: people who could pick off the Chargers' staff and just 969 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 3: has an unbelievable feel already for what a good program 970 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 3: should look and sound like, does really cool things around 971 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 3: the facility that is not traditional NFL stuff that I 972 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 3: know he's implemented with the Chargers that I think you 973 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 3: could take into an organization and would improve the masterly. 974 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 3: Iically don't think he's the kind of schematic guru in 975 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 3: the way he's builders like Mike McDonald. It's a lot 976 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 3: more basic than the stuff Seattle do. But whenever I've 977 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 3: watched him talk and speak and work at coaching clinics 978 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 3: and things like that, it just jumps off the screen 979 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 3: that he operates at a different level and the organization 980 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 3: and the principles I just think looks, smells sound like 981 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 3: a guy who's got the goods. 982 00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 2: I think Anthony Weaver has a little bit of that 983 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 2: at where if he's in the room, I think he'll 984 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 2: impress ownership and that he does make sense as a 985 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 2: guy who's done a good job. Schematically, they're in Miami, 986 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 2: They're not amazing, but he certainly has done a solid job. 987 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: But a guy that you could see kind of leading 988 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: an organization. 989 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that last cycle. I thought he'd be 990 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 3: the sneaky higher I thought the Jets would look in 991 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 3: that direction. That one. He would blow people away once 992 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 3: he got in the room. I think this one is 993 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 3: tough and cramped because you've got Minter and Shola, and 994 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 3: then you maybe have the retreads of Salagate's one. You 995 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 3: start running out of jobs where you become the guy 996 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 3: who impressed the interview. We didn't mention, by the way, 997 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 3: during the jobs the Miami Dolphins. If there's a shoeler 998 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 3: available and the Dolphins job is available, then all of 999 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 3: a sudden, you start looking at that one. Though. I 1000 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 3: think I do think the Stephen Ross would go big 1001 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 3: game hunting if they decide to do that. But you're 1002 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,479 Speaker 3: so in on just mcdoniel's staying. 1003 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: I guess no, I'm an idiot. This is why you 1004 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: need an editor. Give me a break. How did we 1005 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: go through the whole episode? How did no one see this? 1006 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 2: I went through all the I must have just been 1007 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 2: so sick of talking about the Dolphins situation all week. Oh, 1008 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 2: I think he's gone. I think there's been a lot 1009 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 2: of you know, talk that they would like to keep him, 1010 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 2: and I think it depends on who you're talking to 1011 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 2: there necessarily, and it just it just doesn't make logical 1012 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 2: sense that they're going to essentially require the next GM 1013 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: to keep Mike McDaniel. It's possible, and it's not the 1014 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 2: craziest idea ever, Like, he has strengths as a head coach, 1015 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 2: but he would be on my leaning gone list. 1016 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: So I'm glad you fixed that whole. Thank you. 1017 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 3: I would go with leaning gun with him too. I 1018 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 3: understand the reasons why you would consider it. You say, 1019 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 3: we think we've got a guy who is a false 1020 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 3: multiplier as an offensive designer. What if you had a 1021 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 3: real pro quote back that that seems sounds pretty good, 1022 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 3: sounds better than some of the options out there. And 1023 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 3: options are it's defense Ski, it's you Didnski, a twenty 1024 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 3: eight year old running off building, or it's Might mcdoniel. 1025 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 3: I can see how you could talk yourself into that, 1026 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 3: just the way Steven Ross is. I assume he will go. 1027 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,240 Speaker 3: He'll go chasing a big name on the market. 1028 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,279 Speaker 2: Okay, so the big names there aren't many that are 1029 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 2: offensive guys right now. Cliff Kingsbury, you mentioned Udinski is 1030 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 2: one of the youngest, maybe the youngest coordinator in the league. 1031 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: For Jacksonville. 1032 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 2: I do think Liam Cohen people are gonna just want 1033 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 2: to get a piece of what Liam Cohen has been 1034 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 2: doing after really a skyrocket in terms of his status 1035 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 2: within the league the last couple of years. Declan Doyle. 1036 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 2: You mentioned who's with the Bears right now, but it's 1037 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 2: guys I have a hard time imagining get serious looks 1038 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 2: Clayton Adams, maybe with Dallas who's helped to design their 1039 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 2: running game. Mike kaff guy I think has a chance 1040 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 2: for New York to keep the Giant's job, but it 1041 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 2: just hasn't gone well as an interim, so that's not 1042 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 2: going to help him. 1043 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: Among those offensive guys who catches. 1044 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 3: It's pretty tough. I love Clayton Adams, I have a 1045 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,800 Speaker 3: hard time seeing him stepping up to the top podium 1046 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 3: at this stage. And that's where it's just tight. I 1047 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 3: would be if you're taking the swing for the fence, 1048 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 3: if you're the titsans just saying we stink, but we 1049 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 3: think we got the quarterback. Let's just go and take 1050 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 3: a punt on having Sean McVeigh, that's where I would 1051 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 3: look at doing that. You didn't ski now. I don't 1052 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,320 Speaker 3: love the idea of a twenty nine year old running 1053 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 3: the whole team, that that would be concerning. But of 1054 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 3: those guys you see and look and go, he seems 1055 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 3: different to all the other guys who come through as 1056 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 3: they stood near McVeigh, those type of coaches, whether it's 1057 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 3: a LA floor, whoever it is, he does feel a 1058 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 3: little bit different. So if you're taking a swing, that's 1059 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 3: the guy I take the swing on. 1060 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 2: I mean, the thing about the whole they stood near, 1061 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 2: like McVeigh hires, is they've mostly worked. I mean that's 1062 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 2: the hit rate has been way higher than a normal 1063 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 2: head coaching. That that's where I think Nate Nate Schielhaus 1064 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 2: with the Rams has a chance. He's only been the 1065 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 2: league two years, which again you wouldn't want necessary running 1066 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 2: the whole thing. But if you're looking for the guy 1067 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 2: who stood him, surely gets a lot of the attention 1068 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 2: for that. But if you're leading, well, we really want 1069 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 2: the offensive stuff that Sean does. That's kind of why 1070 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 2: we're interviewing you. He's older, he's a bit more experienced, 1071 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 2: so I could see him being a real outside hire. 1072 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 2: The other one would be Davis Webb, who I think 1073 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 2: if you're going again, the young got to take a 1074 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 2: swing route. We're not interested in Mike McCarthy and retraid 1075 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 2: offensive mine. Cliff Kingsbury is not our style of just 1076 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 2: dude around the office. I think Davis Webb probably has 1077 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 2: a little bit more experiences being in multiple buildings. I 1078 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 2: think we'll come across really well in the interview, so 1079 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 2: I could see him being a kind of an outside hire. 1080 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 2: But once you get past to those guys, you're into 1081 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 2: the Clint Kubiak, which just isn't for me. You're into 1082 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 2: Todd Munkin, which feels like maybe you're doing it ten 1083 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 2: years too late. 1084 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 3: As a head coach in the league. That would have 1085 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 3: to be a we're making him the head coach of 1086 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 3: the Ravenscauz Lamar wants some situation to me, or he's 1087 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 3: gone with Josh All on the Bills like a premier 1088 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 3: quarterback and he can just kind of add on to 1089 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 3: the top there rather than turning a team around. 1090 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Davis web just for the listeners. He is. 1091 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 2: I wanted to get his title right for the Broncos, 1092 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 2: the offensive pass the offensive pass game coordinator, and the 1093 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach. I knew he was the quarterbacks coach there 1094 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,800 Speaker 2: and had some other title where they now like split 1095 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 2: coordinator titles like among three People. 1096 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: He also authored. 1097 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 2: Like that terrible tush not toush push but QB sneak 1098 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 2: Remember from like ninety nine yards away? 1099 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,839 Speaker 1: Am I am? I crazy to remember that? That's why 1100 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,439 Speaker 1: it was a sad moment. I mean, he's only thirty 1101 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 1: years old. 1102 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 2: I was like, that was only a couple of years 1103 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 2: ago that Davis Webb was making sad starts for the Giants. 1104 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 3: So, but this is the thing, when we talking about 1105 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 3: the other jobs they come open. Everyone wants to get 1106 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 3: rid of that coach. I get it, you think they're 1107 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 3: a bozo. If you want to get rid of the 1108 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,919 Speaker 3: coach because you want to go chase the next offensive mind, 1109 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 3: you're really tapping out pretty quickly. Unless you want to 1110 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 3: take a swing on a guy who's being the league 1111 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 3: two oh three years or a guy who's just incredibly 1112 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 3: young even though he's coach his entire life. Those are 1113 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 3: pretty big risks to take of you. You're going to 1114 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 3: have players who were significantly older than your head coach 1115 00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,319 Speaker 3: stood in front of the room. 1116 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, there is. 1117 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 2: There are not a lot of obvious offensive options. Even 1118 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 2: among the retreads. They're mostly defensive coaches. I guess I 1119 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 2: can't have Ali on without you know, asking if Justina's reporting. 1120 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 2: You know, she had more on Thursday morning that there's 1121 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 2: multiple high up people with a couple of organizations who 1122 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 2: are at least sort of considering maybe giving Bill Belichick 1123 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,840 Speaker 2: a call. I can't imagine, well, I definitely can't imagine 1124 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 2: he gets a job. But do you even think he 1125 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 2: gets a real deal interview in this cycle. 1126 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 3: Real deal interview? I'm not sure a phone call. I 1127 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 3: think yes, And I think that's the Falcons, and I 1128 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 3: think that probably already took place to gauge interest. I 1129 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 3: think that Dori Dorby thing for off the blank is 1130 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 3: like a real thing that he doesn't know why you 1131 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 3: went down one after the fact, So I think the 1132 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 3: calls will take place. I could not see it happening. 1133 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 2: That just would be sad times for the Falcons to 1134 00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 2: hire Bill Belichick ten years after twenty eight to just 1135 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 2: very Falcons, that was great. We will be obviously tracking 1136 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 2: all the coaching news throughout the next couple of weeks 1137 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 2: on NFL Daily. Ali, I won't talk to you on 1138 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 2: the show before Christmas, So have a great Christmas, and 1139 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 2: for everyone listening.
