Let's get right to it. We've been talking too much today so
we don't have a lot of time, left, our draft of the new head
coaches
with the most prove. There are 10 new head coaches as we enter
the 2022 season. Chris, who's your first pick off that long
ago? Josh McDaniels to start it off? I mean
we know he's the man offensive ly and one of the best
offensive coordinators we've ever seen in the league but do
we know he can be a head coach and you know, again there's
a lot of doubters out there and a lot of that is, you know, some
of the things you
explain the You know, the way it unfolded with
the Indianapolis Colts, the way it went down the first time when
he was a head coach of the Denver Broncos.
So to me, he just got a lot of proving the fact that
he deserves this, he and he's worthy of this
and it can be really good at it.
And so I think there's, you know, a lot of questions about
him and that way as far as
can, he can he lead the whole football team?
My first pick is Todd Bowles. Yeah. Who was the last to get
the job? Because everything set up for exactly hand-picked
successor. Right? To Bruce Arians
we've talked about
How with Bruce Arians he never really was the guy we talked
about on a Monday, that made some stupid mistake that blew
his team's chance to win. He was always between the buoys
and
very consistent like a Long Snapper, only mention
a Long Snapper, when the ball goes over the punters head, he
was never that coach to put the ball over the punters head. And
now Todd Bowles, steps into that job, with that back story
that we're all
not, all aware of and there are plenty of people who don't want
to be aware of it, but the Brady retirement and then Brady
comes back. And then It has gone 17 days later and folks,
like us know that
there was a little, you know. Yeah, Tom will come back if we
make a change here and even though he didn't come out and
say it directly, it kind of fell together that way. There's
a lot of pressure on bowls to deliver
the kind of year that the Buccaneers expect and they
think they can just pop out Aryans and put in bowls and
they go. I would that would have been my. That's who
I debated with the first pick, because you're right. There's
there's expectations there.
Then he never led the Jets to the playoffs.
And you know I know you had a year that were 10 and 6 they
were very close and did some good things there. But, yeah,
you're being handed a team that without question is one of
the most talented teams in football and we want to see,
can you improve it or going to fall down? So, I'm with you
there. All right, my next one. I'm gonna go with an,
I guess, I like the mix over here. I'm going to go Mike
McDaniel, I am, I think there's a lot to prove their
one. He's questioned about, you know, can this type of person
really, you know, lead a football team. He's a little
quirky, and he's really smart and cerebro and all of that.
So, He's not your typical, you know, Macho head, football
coach. So there's there's that as far as proving that and
then, of course, he's
been under the shadow
of Kyle Shanahan,
we know he helped out. Kyle Shannon loves them and all
that, but he didn't have to call plays that Shanahan. So
he's got a lot to prove that, you know, hey, his style can
can lead a football team and that he can call
plays and come up with game plans. That's worthy to get to
and some of these weapons, you know, balling out and having
big days and you've got the same Dynamic with the talent to
our Exactly. Yeah that's a choice. Right?
Ready to go and right go get Mike McDaniel instead. Yeah
Barry Jackson the Miami Herald raised the possibility. Now
this was before everything, hit the fan squeak about maybe
Peyton and Brady next year too. So the questions aren't going
to go away until McDaniel proves himself in Miami.
I agree with you. On that one. That would have been
my next and I'll go into Faneuil Hackett
with my second pick,
just because of the circumstance. Russell Wilson.
Yeah. Team looks good. And the Broncos fan base is
re-energized and the expectations are there. They've
had no.
Spectators for half a decade.
And now, all of a sudden here, we are with a team. That's
pretty good. And here's the, here's the thing. If it doesn't
work for Russell Wilson,
are we going to be saying, we generally
it's because of Russell Wilson that, right? Or it's, because
of the coaches who are not using Russell Wilson the right
way. Let's take a break. We'll do round 3 of our draft of
the coaches with the most prove this year
new coaches, that is when phe life continues right after this.
All right, there, the first two rounds of the new coaches with
the most to prove in 2022. We move on to round 3. Chris, you
are on the clock and it is ticking. All right, tick, tick
tick. I'm going to go with Dennis Allen.
Dennis out, you know I guess it's a little bit
you know but we've hit this topic a little bit but
the team's there it's good. When we know it we look at them and go
oh the reason they didn't draft a quarterback because they
think they can make some noise in the NFC.
And we've seen that neighbor calls last year, the first year
without Drew Brees. And you know, it's Jameis Winston
should be a year better. They have certainly better weapons
on offense. We know the defense is real. It's a little bit
like,
you know, Josh McDaniel in the way where it didn't go great
for Dennis Allen and his first run, you know, out in
the Oakland Raiders,
you know, now, can, can he, you know, take a team and continue
to keep them where they're at or even better as he takes over
the reins from Sean Payton Sunday night last year, nine
nothing. Yeah, I know, that's right.
Us. If the Box while he was stepping in for Sean Payton,
who was on the covid released. I'll go Kevin O'Connell just
because there's no one else who really stands out. And because
he comes to Minnesota with Justin Jefferson who
already is talking about 2,000 yards receiving as the kubrik
up in that offense, trying to get more out of Kirk Cousins
and O'Connell's. Got the relationship from cousins
dating back to their time in Washington, not a lot of
overhaul of the offense. And and even though
it's it's not pressure the
Like tations aren't hi,
there's just this hey you're the latest
pot, right? The often should be good here from Rams and here we
go. And just plenty of we had a good offense with a defensive
head coach. Who couldn't keep an offensive coordinator?
They, I think there's an expectation.
That's going to be a lot better. We don't know what
the defense is going to be, but there's an expectation. The
offense will be better. Yeah, I think you're right, you know,
you talked about the two receivers people are going to
think about that, you got Dalvin cook it running back
Kirk Cousins, I think, is yes, a guy that,
you know, fits Kevin On what he wants to do on that side of
the aisle, you know, the ball there. So
I'm with you there that I think he might have been my next pick
either. You know, out of the guys we had left. I mean Lovie
Smith, debrief loose,
Brian De Bal Doug Peterson. I think I'm with you. I would
have gone Kevin O'Connell to. Yeah. And for the last four
I there really isn't any pressure there with teams that aren't
expected to be much, righty much.
So that's how Coach of the Year never goes to Bill Belichick,
because coach of the year is determined by the loose. Oceans
that a team has at the season beginning
and where they are at the season end. And when you are
a Bill Belichick and you're always expected to be up here,
you never have that Delta
of what we thought we were going to get and what we got.
And that's what delivers coach of the year. And that's why one
of these ten guys has a chance to do it if they
especially the guys who have no expectations. Yeah.
If they end up getting to the playoffs somehow. Yeah. And
their coach that. Yeah. He's like, Matt Nagy was in Chicago
a few, right? Right. Yeah, you're right. And, you know,
again I mean I think, you know,
Which I probably should have got a little more credit for
what he did with that team last year and getting them back in
the playoffs. Just, you know,
two years after Tom, Brady left with a rookie quarterback. That
was pretty special, but yeah, it does seem like it's set up
that way and we'll see not, you know, ten new head coaches.
So we got a lot of the evaluating to do and see if
they can make their mark on their franchises, and we are
out of time, will be on NBC tonight, 7:00 and Peacock, by
the way, for the pregame, show for, Raiders Jaguars, and
tomorrow, this knucklehead won't be here. Yeah. But I will
Ever been with a new Harpeth that isn't new.
