But I'm here today as always with
co host Tyler you want to say

38
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:30.719
hate everyone. Hello everyone, It's
been a somber week for US Titans fans.

39
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.039
Yeah, started out did I thought
I was gonna have a lot to

40
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:44.439
gloat about on today's show, But
I did foresee happen what happened, and

41
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.680
I just wanted to be known that
I called it and my co host did

42
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.080
not. Yeah, it's true.
It's not a move I always wanting made,

43
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.919
that's for sure. We'll we'll get
into the good news and then we'll

44
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.319
get into all of that. The
good news is the Jags are out of

45
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:15.080
the playoffs at nice. So running
down a little bit of the game,

46
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.840
Derrick Henry had had a vintage performance
for himself one hundred and fifty three yards

47
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:28.719
and a touchdown against the Jaguars,
and the offensive line the best day by

48
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.639
far that they've had all season.
All of Henry's one hundred and fifty three

49
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.560
yards one oh seven was before contact, so they was opening up huge holes

50
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:46.479
to get him downfield. Then,
of course the offensive line allowed one sack,

51
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.319
so they waited till the end of
the year to actually pass block and

52
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.919
run block for us. I mean, I guess it's better late than ever,

53
00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:00.360
right, Yeah, it's true.
They also had two false start in

54
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.719
the game, which got him to
thirty on the season and out of the

55
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:10.560
last decade or the fifteenth, so
three hundred and twenty possible teams through the

56
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.480
fifth one they ever have thirty four
starts in the season. So I was

57
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.480
telling him on Monday night, I
can't wait for the off season to officially

58
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.879
begin so that we can say goodbye
to about five of these guys and never

59
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.959
have to think of them again.
I mean, the first move we need

60
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.680
to make his cut on as the
cut Dillard, Yep, gotta be.

61
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.519
He's not worth the money that we
signed him to No, if I ain't

62
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:44.680
mistaken, he leads all left tackles
in sacks allelled, and our left tackle

63
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.160
position as a whole. If you
combine all of the left tackles we fielded,

64
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:54.720
they lead the league in sacks ollelled. And you're not going to have

65
00:04:55.319 --> 00:05:00.360
a good team or be able to
score as many points when you have an

66
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:06.360
offense an offensive line that plays like
that. Yeah, I mean, I

67
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:11.439
think sixty four sacks on the year, which is or sixty five with that

68
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.680
last one, maybe there's just ridiculous. I think third most sacks allowed in

69
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:25.079
the NFL. So what do you
think? So what do you think the

70
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.360
Titans do in the offseason? Do
we do we fix the secondary? Out

71
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.000
a good wide receiver, draft to
offensive lineman. What are your projection?

72
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.920
What are your predictions? I think
that we have to add a legit number

73
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.519
one wide receiver. And if we
go into next year like it with a

74
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:49.319
T. Higgins or Mike Evans or
someone lined up across from Hopkins with Burts

75
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:54.399
as the number three option, I'm
comfortable with that. And Burks is on

76
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.360
rookie, fully guaranteed rooky contract,
so I don't think we're going to cut

77
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.680
him because it don't save us any
money. So I think he will end

78
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:10.800
up being the number three next year. Yeah. Also in free agency,

79
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.680
there's not any quality left tackles and
not even any really quality right tackles.

80
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:21.120
But there are some quality centers in
free agency, and so if we sign

81
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:28.040
a decent center and then draft one
of these top two left tackles, I

82
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.839
feel pretty comfortable with the offensive line
with Spronsky, Brunskill and an actual legit

83
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.319
center because Brewers just too small.
He's getting pished around. Oh yeah,

84
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.759
he's he's very small. He's a
very small center. I didn't like him

85
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.160
as a offensive lineman for us last
year. Yeah, I think I think

86
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.800
he has some value as like the
swing tackle, like if we want a

87
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.120
six man lining up in that tight
end position or something like that. But

88
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.720
yeah, him out there in the
center of the line, that he's just

89
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:06.720
of his dead. Yeah, what
about you? You're you having predictions off

90
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.959
season once or me? I think
it's undeniable that we have to go out

91
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:20.120
and get a wide receiver. We
need someone to take the pressure and the

92
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:29.600
double teams off of DeAndre. DeAndre
is going is getting older, so inherently

93
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.879
he's going to slow down. He's
not going to be as fast. I

94
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:40.040
don't know when that time is going
to come, but it's going to happen

95
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:46.759
eventually. So with that being said, I don't first see us getting Mike

96
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.240
Evans. Mike Evans is kind of
u is. I think he's thirty thirty

97
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:56.319
one personally like, yeah, Mike
Evans is good, but he has a

98
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.519
really good young wide receiver to compliment
him on the outside and Chris Godwin.

99
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:09.439
So I would personally be against getting
Mike Evans. T Higgins would be nice.

100
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:20.000
And I say this only to uh
to really dig in at Colts fans.

101
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.199
Uh. Michael Pittman would also be
nice, since last report I read

102
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:30.240
says that he doesn't want to go
back to Indianapolis. Yeah, and well,

103
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.159
we thought we was getting Taylor all
of the division for that same reason

104
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.720
last year and he ended up back. I think t Higgins is everyone's number

105
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.679
one choice a wide receiver, like
who they all want. But I don't

106
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.120
know if you've seen what Joe Burrows
said this week. I did not.

107
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:56.399
He basically they asked him about t
Higgins and he basically said that his contract

108
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.919
was worked out in a way that
they didn't have to lose the whip and

109
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.840
around him and so the way that
his contract is worked that he expects to

110
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.360
retain those weapons. So it maybe
trouble imparadise as far as the Bengals and

111
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:18.519
Joe Burrow if they let him walk
out of the building. I there's I

112
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.519
don't I don't see that being true. They're they're going to lose one of

113
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.759
those wide receivers. There's no way
that you're going to have Joe Burrow making

114
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.879
fifty million dollars a year, pay
the offensive line alignment to protect that quarterback,

115
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.200
keep money saved up because we all
know that Jamar Chase is going to

116
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.799
break the bank for them as well
as keep some premier players on defense.

117
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:50.120
It's I don't foresee that happening.
Yeah, because everybody was thinking the same

118
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.480
thing that the Chiefs were going to
magically make it all work. And Tyreek

119
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.919
Hill's going to the playoffs in Miami
right now, so he's actually against the

120
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:15.080
Yeah. I I would be okay
with getting a good center and maybe focusing

121
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.279
a little bit more on the secondary
and free agency and trying to focus on

122
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.799
offensive linemen and wide receivers and this
Sear's draft just because this is a really

123
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.120
big this is a very deep offensive
lineman draft. And last thing I read

124
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:37.039
so that it was also a pretty
deep wide receiver draft as well. I

125
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.720
mean, and we've seen what what
your rookie wide receivers can do with the

126
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:48.360
Texans. So but there's there's things
that have to be immediately fixed, especially

127
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:56.159
since hopefully we let Christian Fulton walk. Yeah. Yeah, I don't see

128
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.960
any way that we can keep on
the roster. But we also need another

129
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.519
safety. Yeah yeah, we need
at least one safety in at least one

130
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.600
corner. Yeah, rather it comes
in the draft or free agency, Like

131
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.360
we can't go and be bottom of
the league again for the third straight year.

132
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:24.879
In past defense, should SMB come
back? I think he done enough

133
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.240
to come back and keep a role
on the team, But he wasn't.

134
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.399
He had his good games and bad
games, but overall averaged across the season.

135
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.480
He wasn't out there hurting the defense
the way Fulton was. Kay because

136
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.279
mcfreary he's an outstanding corner, but
he's a inside corner. He can't work

137
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.759
the sidelines and he got exposed all
throughout December once we put Fulton on on

138
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.639
IR and forced him into a starting
role. MH. But the inside he's

139
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:03.759
one of the top of the league
covering the slot. So okay, before

140
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.480
we can think about the draft or
free agency, we got a little a

141
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.960
little bit of news happening with Rabel
out as head coach. As you said,

142
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.759
you for saw it coming. So
what are your felts? Good?

143
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:24.080
Good decision? Bad decision? In
my opinion, I think it's definitely but

144
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:30.639
on the horizon after the fact that
we lost to the Bengals when having the

145
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.200
number one seed and we kept going
for it on fourth down instead of kicking

146
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.320
field goals in that game. It
definitely doesn't help that we had Ryan Tannahill

147
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.559
throw multiple picks, but that was
definitely I mean, the defense carried us

148
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.279
that game. And so one thing
I will say is is Mike Rabel being

149
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.120
a defensive coach, obviously things could
have been better. But for the most

150
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.960
part, when you have the number
one red zone defense defense in the league,

151
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.960
you know, traditionally you would think
that you're going to do well like

152
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.960
that, that you may be fighting
for our playoff spot. But here we

153
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:16.200
are, first week of playoffs and
our team is eliminated. So with that,

154
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.720
I I definitely think it was needed. I think that we need a

155
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:31.840
new rebranding as a team as a
franchise. I think that Amy Adams,

156
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:39.799
drunk, our owner, is setting
a very clear message that being mediocre is

157
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:46.919
not something that she will accept.
Mike Grabel is a is a phenomenal head

158
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.000
coach. He's one head coach of
the Year. He's had a very difficult

159
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.840
time in Tennessee these past couple of
years, with the massive amounts of injuries.

160
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.480
I wish him nothing but the best. But the reason why I had

161
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.360
a feeling that he was going to
get fired this season was because I do

162
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.240
truly think that he does not like
or does not want Will Levis on that

163
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.120
team. The reason that I say
that is because in the press conference where

164
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.679
he basically announced that Will Levis was
going to take over as the starter,

165
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.279
it didn't really seem like the same
Mike Rabel. It seemed he seemed very

166
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.840
defeated and and you know, maybe
I could I'm reading too much into it,

167
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:46.000
but when Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh has
had the quarterback troubles that he's had,

168
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.600
he doesn't sound the same way that
Mike Rabel did. When Mike Brabel

169
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.840
announced that Will Levis was going to
be the starter. So I do believe

170
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.200
that there may have been some internal
conflict between him and Ran regarding the future

171
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.440
of the team, because I think
if it was up to raybel I think

172
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.919
that Ryan Tannehill would still be the
starter for this team after the season.

173
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.919
Yeah, I think. I think
he did look to pressed and stuff on

174
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.440
the sidelines in the press conferences,
like you could tell he wasn't the same

175
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.840
guy from twenty twenty twenty one.
And I think part of that is because

176
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.000
he was losing the locker room and
he didn't know how to handle it,

177
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.360
how to stop it. Yeah.
And I say that because we had multiple

178
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:45.360
guys that would get cut and then
instantly tweet out thank God or glad to

179
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.559
be out, and we thought,
like as fans, everybody was saying,

180
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.279
oh, he was a locker room
cancer. You know. Tierre Tart was

181
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.559
one of them that, you know, we had to get him out of

182
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.799
there because he wasn't buying end he
was missing everything up. But then it's

183
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.480
coming out now that the locker room
was more divided, like a sixty forty

184
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.159
locker room with forty percent not by
an end of rabel this year, and

185
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.080
so I feel like he felt he
was losing the team and like didn't know

186
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.600
how to stop it. It was
just just a boulder rolling downhill and he

187
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:26.159
couldn't get no traction to stop it. Yeah, thking to that. Also

188
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.000
the owner, Like if you remember
years passed, anytime they was in the

189
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.600
same room, they had their arms
around each other, embracing each other like

190
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:40.919
that. There was memes about them
having affairs and everything because they always had

191
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.759
their arms around each other. This
year, they I've never even seen them

192
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:52.240
shake hands this year. And after
the Jaguars game, Brabel stood outside of

193
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.960
the locker room and as everyone came
in, including Wren, he gave him

194
00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.799
a handshaking a hug, and Amy
went around him and entered the locker room

195
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.039
from behind him to avoid him.
Like they didn't even make eye contact.

196
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.440
Interesting, definitely seems like there's some
there was a riff there, and I

197
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.720
think part of it is Tim Kelly. Okay. The reason why I say

198
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:23.359
that, if you remember Mike Malarkey
got fired. He won a playoff game

199
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.680
in twenty seventeen. It was their
first playoff win since two thousand and three,

200
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.680
when Steve mcnarr was starting for a
quarterback, and she gave him a

201
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.880
two year extension and then twenty four
hours later she fired him. And the

202
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:44.480
reason she fired him was because he
refused to cut to fire his offensive coordinator

203
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:51.440
because she didn't like the offensive philosophy
that he was using. And then Brabel

204
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:56.279
hangs on to Downing for two seasons
and ends up costingus playoff birth last year.

205
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:03.240
And then he promoted his friend,
and then we had this season this

206
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.000
year, and I think that she
might have wanted him to pick someone else

207
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:12.400
and modernize the offense, and he
was loyal to his friends and wanted to

208
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:22.000
give Killy another year. Interesting,
I can see that. My Here's the

209
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:32.279
thing that I struggle with. I
think how Amy responded to the media regarding

210
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:40.599
Rabel's firing was very poor. Yeah, I agree, it almost came across

211
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:48.359
in a sense she was bashing him. And personally, if I am some

212
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.400
of these you know coordinators out there, then I've got multiple offers and multiple

213
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:59.559
people you know calling one to interview
me after hearing what you know, an

214
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.839
owners saying about a coach she just
fired. That's going to leave a bad

215
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.960
taste in my mouth. And that's
not necessarily that may not persuade me to

216
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:12.319
want to go there. I just
feel like, I feel like it was

217
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.880
very disrespectful. I mean, she
can disagree with how Rabel ran things,

218
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.960
and that is totally fine. I
definitely would have done things differently as well.

219
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:30.960
But how she handled that I have
zero respect for. Yeah, the

220
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:37.880
thing that bothered me about the way
she handled it was she did include Ran

221
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.400
in the firing process. Her and
Ran both say he had no input,

222
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.920
no say whatsoever. Which the gum
is there to hire and fire players and

223
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:53.759
coaches and which The reasoning behind that
I get because Ran didn't hire him,

224
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.319
so she didn't want to put the
burden of being the bad guy and heilm

225
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:04.400
fire someone he didn't hire, which
is fine, except she then gives a

226
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:11.079
five minute interview on a closed set
to an in house reporter where she's everything

227
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.319
scripted and she doesn't have to answer
any hard questions or follow ups, and

228
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.319
then sends him out in front of
the media and he's got to sit there

229
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:25.359
for an hour and try to justify
her decision. And to me, she

230
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:30.400
should have been sitting behind that table
with him, because she's really she's the

231
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.480
one making the decision, She's the
one that needs to answer to it.

232
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:41.160
Oh, I agree with you,
but I do agree. Yeah, And

233
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:47.680
the other thing I don't like about
it is the timing her. Her justification

234
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.200
for not pushing Carter for free was
that it couldn't She didn't want to go

235
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:57.599
to the back of the line and
getting coaching interviews. But we can't interview

236
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:02.920
coaches for two more weeks. Yeah, so why not spend another week or

237
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.200
ten days and try to force the
Patriot's hands if that's where he's going to

238
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.960
end up, and make him give
you something for him. Well, I

239
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.640
think that there was so much uncertainty
at the time with what was going on

240
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:21.279
with Bill Belichick. There was definitely
rumors that those rumors came to fruition and

241
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:32.119
they the Bill Belichick and the Patriots
ended up parting ways. Yeah. It

242
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:38.079
in my opinion, I think she's
going to potentially scare away any of the

243
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:47.359
top coaching talents. Yeah. The
good thing is they've said that Rand has

244
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.920
pulled control over this coaching search,
so he's gonna kick his guy, He's

245
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.119
going to hire him. So Rand's
gonna have a lot more control over the

246
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:03.519
team now that that Rabels out and
the alleged power struggle is is gone.

247
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:11.519
So who do you want? Who
is your number one, Like you want

248
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:19.160
the Titans to hire as the head
coach. I'm leaning towards Bron Callum.

249
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:29.160
Where's coordinator for the Bengals? Okay, Bron Callahan? Okay. Interesting.

250
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.839
I've read on some of the Titans
pages that we are on that a lot

251
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:40.440
of people are wanting either the offensive
coordinators from either the Dolphins, Bengals,

252
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:49.759
or the Texans. And I think
the Texans one Bobby I think is his

253
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:56.640
name. I think he's Yeah,
I think he I think he's basically got

254
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.880
a shoe in just because he was
in San Francisco with Ran, so they're

255
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:08.079
going to have that relationship and seeing
how the offense has looked this year with

256
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:18.720
him as the offensive coordinator with c
J. Stroud, I definitely think that

257
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:27.279
that is going to be very appealing
to to Ran. Yeah, yeah,

258
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:33.160
I agree. It's Uh. There's
his like his stats this year fifth passing

259
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:41.640
offense, twenty first rushing, fourteenth
scoring offense. The reason why I shy

260
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:48.400
away from him is it's his first
year as a coordinator, so you're going

261
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:53.920
from a rookie coordinator to rookie coach. And he's he's been proven on the

262
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.480
assistance level, but he's not like, do you trust a Hill not to

263
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.240
be a one hit wonder as a
as a top level coach? Yeah?

264
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:17.599
Fair true mhm. And and the
other thing about bron Callahan here is he's

265
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.440
also works closely with the wide receivers, So you've got a chance a better

266
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.039
chance of getting Tea Higg and Waring
Hill away. Yeah. I could see

267
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:36.200
that this smart idea working smarter,
not harder. What do you think about

268
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.880
We've announced nine coaches being brought in, and four of them are decons of

269
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:48.680
coaches. Well, I think we
have to do our due diligence. You

270
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.000
know, you want to bring in
people from a wide variety. We also

271
00:24:53.119 --> 00:25:02.119
have to appeal to the rony role. I don't I don't think the fans

272
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:08.720
want a defensive head coach because we
just got rid of one, but I

273
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:15.960
personally would like an offensive one.
Yeah. My thinking is, if if

274
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.160
you want a defensive coach, you
just now hired one of the top ones

275
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.960
on the market right now. Yeah, like there was no point of firing

276
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.839
him if you're going to just go
get someone just locking Yeah, correct,

277
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:38.119
I agree. I mean, and
this is my opinion. There's a six

278
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.559
time Super Bowl winner that just is
no longer on his team. He should

279
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:48.000
at least get an interview. Yeah. I think the six Super Bowls,

280
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.839
the six, the six Lambardi Trophies, almost at Heisman, the six Lombardi

281
00:25:52.920 --> 00:26:00.559
trophies, I think speaks for itself. Yeah, but do you think he

282
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.960
will. They're saying, they're saying
that we have no interest in Hume or

283
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:11.599
in Harbaugh, and I don't.
I guess I just don't understand, Like

284
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.640
I get, you know, Bill
Belichick has has the past couple of seasons,

285
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.440
he's been really rough, but he
did take a rookie quarterback to the

286
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:25.680
playoffs. Yeah, I just think. I mean he's also again defensive coach.

287
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:33.519
And Harball, I mean also defensive
coach. But I think, if

288
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.000
I remember correctly, a majority of
the people that we have requested an interview,

289
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.440
they're pretty young for the most part. Oh yeah, they all are,

290
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:49.000
except for Dan Quinn and the lines
defensive coordinator Aaron Glynn. I think

291
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:55.640
those are the two oldest ones.
I hate to say this, but I

292
00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:00.400
don't want Dan Quinn as my head
coach. He was kind of a bad

293
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.279
coach in Atlanta. Yeah, I
mean he blew at twenty eight to three

294
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.279
lead in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I don't think I would want him.

295
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.880
I don't I I don't want a
defensive coach, period, point blank

296
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:19.759
period. Yeah. And he's the
fifth with the Cowboys this year, fifth

297
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.839
best past D, fifth best scoring
D. So I mean, I'll take

298
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:27.599
him as my defensive coordinator all day, but I don't want him having control

299
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:33.559
over the whole team. Yeah.
I won an offensive head coach. We've

300
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:37.240
had a defensive head coach. We
literally just had a defensive head coach for

301
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:38.759
six years. I'd like a new
one. I'd like it. I'd like

302
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:45.160
I'd like something different. You have
any opinions on Ben Johnson, the lines

303
00:27:45.319 --> 00:28:06.839
offensive coordinator. No, he's getting
enough from me. The reason why is

304
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:15.839
because he wants Bill Belichick money.
That's true. I've heard he's asking for

305
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:21.000
everything. He's asking for over fifteen
million, and Bill Belichick, who was

306
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:27.359
the highest paid coach, was making
twenty. The one good thing about having

307
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:33.359
a high paid head coach, well, I'm speaking from college. I don't

308
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.640
know if it's the same and the
pros or not, but in college,

309
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.759
the head coach hires their own coordinators. It comes out of his salary,

310
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.240
and more money you give them the
better their coordinators are going to be because

311
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:55.839
they'll have more money to get the
coordinators. Huh. Interesting, did I

312
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:59.000
know that? I don't know if
that's the same for the pros though it

313
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.960
I don't think it would be.
I think that would be the team probably.

314
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.839
Then who else do we have the
Eagles offensive coordinator. I mean,

315
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:14.000
we've given him all of our players. We could go after one of their

316
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.720
coaches, Brian Johnson. I'm pretty
sure that's also a rookie offensive coordinator.

317
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:26.720
Yeah, it is. Yeah,
he's a pretty young guy too. And

318
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:33.880
the most interesting one to me was
Matt McDonald, the Ravens defensive coordinator.

319
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:40.200
A lot of people were really rooting
for him. Yeah. You know what's

320
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:49.160
really shocking to me, the Rams
defensive coordinator has not been requested to interview.

321
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:56.599
Yeah, and he's been there for
quite a few years. Yeah.

322
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.680
And also, I've not seen any
team require Eric the Enemy to interview this

323
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:08.759
year. True. Usually, usually
he gets quite a few interviews. He

324
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:15.079
just never gets the job, and
everybody always says eventually he's going to get

325
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.880
one. This year, he hasn't
even grown an interview. Well. I

326
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.400
think it's because he was on a
bad team. Yeah, it's different interviewing

327
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.480
you when you're the coordinator for the
Chiefs. I guess, yes, very

328
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:37.279
much, very much. H m
hmm. But where we get out of

329
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.279
here? I was wanting to get
your get your opinion on one more thing

330
00:30:41.559 --> 00:31:07.480
here? You want to share my
screen years of my life? Was hopefully

331
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:25.880
you think that's his final goodbye?
Or is there still hope that he's back

332
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.720
in twenty twenty four to finish his
career. I mean, why would I

333
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.119
not want King Henry to come back
to the Titans? Yeah? Second and

334
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:42.119
rushing this year? Yeah, I
mean I I hate to see him go.

335
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:49.480
I that would be a letdown.
I mean, that's that's the team

336
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:53.119
over, that's that's been that's someone
who's been with the team for nearly ten

337
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.440
years. Why would you want to
get rid of him? I mean,

338
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.759
yeah, like you have a rook
you had a rookie running back who's shown

339
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:05.799
flashes. But like you've got Derrick
Henry who's going out there and rushing for

340
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.680
one hundred and sixty yards against the
Jacksonville Jaguars and carrying the team on his

341
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:20.240
back. Yeah. And I remember
Eddie George going watching him play for the

342
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:24.039
Cowboys and Chris Johnson playing for the
Cardinals and it never does feel right.

343
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:29.640
Work. More recently, Darrell Casey
going and playing for the Denver Broncos.

344
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:38.279
Yeah, and that didn't turn out
well. If he does go, where

345
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:42.200
you think he ends up or where
would you want him to end up?

346
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.759
I think he ends up wherever Mike
Rabel goes. Yeah, that's what I've

347
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:53.079
been saying. I you know what, I wouldn't be shocked by Pytree.

348
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:04.960
And I don't know was it Ezekiel
Elliott's contract more than one year. I

349
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:10.319
think he got a two year.
So you could end up with Rabel as

350
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:16.000
the coach and Henry and Elliott,
Sharon Perry's in the backfield. Yeah,

351
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:24.480
that would give Rabel his his run
heavy offense. He wouldn't ever have to

352
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:29.680
pass it as long as he can
coach up the defense. That is true.

353
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:38.960
But yes, that's going to do
it. This week. That's all

354
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:45.240
the coaching, all the King Henry
news. Maybe over the next couple of

355
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:50.480
weeks we'll have something, some more
definitive coaching news to come in and then

356
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.720
the real phone starts because we what
coordinators are going to get fired, who's

357
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:59.640
going to get kept, who's coming
in New Let's hope all of our coordinators

358
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:06.799
get Yeah, I'd like I wouldn't
mind seeing both coordinators, a couple of

359
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.000
the underneath guys. I'd like to
see Kip the defensive line coach. I'd

360
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:15.280
like to see him and Kep Yeah, because I mean we've always got a

361
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:22.039
decent past rush with Landry and neilm
out there. Then also the quarterbacks coach,

362
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.519
because by all accounts he's one of
the top five or six QV coaches

363
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:31.440
in the league. And on top
of that, Will Levis like, give

364
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:38.840
him some kind of continuation from last
year to helping keep development. Yeah,

365
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:46.800
I would agree with you. Other
than that, where can everyone find you

366
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:53.480
on social media? It's you can
follow me on Facebook a Tyler Warren or

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:07.000
we'll see everyone next week. Take
