coaches in the NFL
right now. Go gosh, okay.
Wow, I mean, I'm, hmm.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to abandon Bill Belichick, yet.
I'm not, I'm still going to pick him one. I am. I'm sorry.
I'm not. I'm not giving up on everything. I've seen, even to
this past year. It was a great job.
It really was. I mean, it's a brand new team, rookie
quarterback. I'm still taking Bill Belichick number one, you
know, it might not be for too much longer that we take him
number one, but for this moment right now, I'm still
going to go with him. I am
I'll go Sean. McVeigh the guys got the trophy, the guy. Crack
the Code, the guy got it figured out the guys, you know,
he's married and he's having a good time and you know,
the world is his oyster and he's 36. I'll go Sean McVeigh.
Well, okay. Alrighty, I'm gonna go Shanahan. I am I'm going
Shanahan necks. I mean, call me a homer. Whatever you
do. You feel the tattoo throbbing. Well, I had to
throbbing. Well, there's some good choices here. It's tough.
Yes, you know. Well, yeah, Hey, listen, there's some personal
here, but I
think I'm capable of being I'm not biased as well in this
conversation. I understand that it's to me, like, pretty
apparent the most creative best offensive game planner in
the football is Shanahan. I do think that there's hands down.
I don't think there's anybody more creative and finds ways to
get his Stars off and average Quarterback to look good on
a weekly basis and all that better than Shannon. It's
the most creative Run game design.
He gets involved in the defense a little bit there, too.
So I'm going to take Kyle.
Because what he showed is, when he is a quarterback, that's at
least average. They're going to be dangerous. It's just when he
doesn't have one,
that's the you know, Mullins and CJ beathard. That's
the only time they've fallen off any time. He's had anybody
competitive or could just capable the, the 49ers are in
the thick of things.
There are few NFL head coaches that I would respond to
I know way they want their players to respond. And this is
a guy who's been doing it since 2000.
Seven is never had a losing season. Always finds a way to
make chicken salad. Yeah never is thrown in front of him,
right? You lose your quarterback for the season.
Still compete for the playoffs
offense is down still compete. For the playoffs defense is
banged up. Still compete for the playoffs still compete.
Still compete and no excuses. And just that kind of alpha
male Personality. Yeah. Stand at attention and
and run into a wall
and bounce off the wall as the case may be. But Mike, Tama
Mike Tom and I, we
Take him for granted node, and it's,
there's still
a faction
of Steelers fans
that the minute the team encounters any adversity. They
want to get rid of my Tom
and we said this time here extended family prays involved
in this. Do you are you crazy or nephews? Are they part of
that? See? No. No, my
know what? My nephew. I got one. Nephew is a Seahawks fan
once a Cardinals fan. The other ones, a Seahawks fan and
I can't explain it. My
My my
I have a good friend that I've known since I was six years old
that the minute the minute that the still a struggle, they got
to fire Tomlin
and the minute they would fire Tomlin. There are teams out
there that have coaches with whom they are happy.
That would say we love you,
but you got to go. We can't have two head coaches,
and we have an opportunity to hire Mike Tomlin.
I hope you understand.
So yeah, to I, and it really is fast. In aiding to me. This guy
is going to be the head coach at the Steelers, as long as he
wants to be
and he always finds a way
and they still, there's still that group of Steelers fans.
They can't wait to get rid of it. I don't get it either.
I don't I know mine to me. It's the best motivator.
The best Communicator in the sport.
Pretty good at managing the football game doing things that way.
Just they're always tough. They're always physical. I hear
you all the way personalities that he's got to manage.
I mean, he's not Always in control that still manages
them. So definitely was on my website.
The problem is here. I still have three on my list that I go.
Wow. They're like, really all deserve to be drafted. I mean,
to me right now and again, maybe this, maybe this speaks
to the AFC a little bit once again here, but I'm like,
Andy Reid, Vrabel, and McDermott are the three I look
at to be next on my list here. I also have Pete Carroll on
the list as well, of course, but I'm going to go, Andy Reid
here.
I mean, Andy Reid to me and dammit Harbaugh.
Hard balls on my list, too. Holy crap. There's a tough one,
but I'm going to go in and you read and you read to me. The
ability to relate to players. He gets the team to play tough
and physical every year. He's creative. You know, I think the
one thing about Andy Reid that like does not get enough credit.
We know how good he is with offense and quarterbacks and
all that. But man the the Kansas City Chiefs. We always
kind of look at them. All. There are pretty passing
football team,
but when they have to answer the bell and we've discussed
this a lot over the last 34 years, when they have to pay By
a team where we go. Oh, no, they're coming to town. There
are big and physical.
It's the Ravens. Oh, no,
it's the 49ers in this.
They always match up and go. We're just as tough, but we can
hit you just as hard as you hit us. And that's where I think.
Like any Reed does not get enough respect for
the physicality of his football team. Sometimes just because
their past happy we maybe lose that and translation a little
bit.
You know, I'm like you now, I'm at the point where I've got
four or five and I'm going to Rattle off some names. Yeah, to
kind of to the extent that Any of them are out there listening
or watching if you are hold are all worthy. The hell. Are you
doing? Get back to
work? John Harbaugh, Ron Rivera? Yes, is a guy who gets
overlooked. Yes. And and taken for granted and not appreciated
up. He Carol.
I strongly considered him.
A hell of a, an experiment this year. And I'm rooting for
the Seahawks this year. I want to see them Thrive post, Russell
Wilson. I want to see Carol bring that team together.
Recapture the vibe
of ten years ago. You know what? I'm going to do? What you
do. And also and also Like variable, I wanted to say,
I are you not going very well, you're afraid of raible. You're
afraid of him. I'm afraid variables. Yeah,
Mike Tomlin inspires me and real scares the s*** out of me.
So it kind of is the yin and yang.
I am gonna go Matt LaFleur. Oh, oh, I like it. I like it.
Here's why. Yeah, plain and simple.
Plain and simple.
This guy has been caught between
Front office. Yeah and quarterback right for three
freakin years. Yeah, and he's had to find a way to speak to
the better angels and better. Impulses of Aaron Rodgers
for three, freakin years
and he doesn't look like he's aged at all.
I don't know what he's you're right. It doesn't.
I'll tell you what, I'd be in the grave if I had to deal with
Aaron Rodgers, how three years, and that infinite Loop would be
playing of Aaron, Rodgers saying, don't waste your time.
Read your right now. He doesn't look stressed out.
Yeah. It's like And it had him Rick Bay sometimes Shanahan
McVeigh looks like their eyes. You're ready to pop out. And
you're like, oh man, they're exhausted and crazy right now.
He doesn't he never looks like that about what is reward was
for going 13 and 3 in his
first year on the job was his reward. They drafted Jordan
love with the first round pick. They traded up. They give up
a fourth round. Pick to move up a few spots to draft
a quarterback. Could you imagine how beside himself? Matt, Le
Flore had to have been
and he he managed
Serenity Now. Yeah, he never.
He never airs out any of the dirty laundry never shows it.
Not even to tell he'd be a good poker player. And meanwhile,
what's he do? 13 wins? 13. Wins 13 wins with Aaron Rodgers
and
Davante Adams. Oh, wait. Yeah. I know Devonte Graham. Yeah,
right. Weird about taking it's a welder older Packers. The
Packers offered him more money and the Raiders did. Yeah. Okay
fine, but
the Packers waited until the Raiders were locked and loaded
and Davante. Adams, finally got to Bring this Vision to
fruition of being with Derek Carr with the Raiders. It
look. I got a ton of respect from what Matt lafleur's done
because he's got a deal with Aaron freaking Rogers. Every
single day that in and of itself, justifies the spot.
I'm not mad at you for that pic. For sure
to me. It's kind of like
it does seem wrong that he still hasn't won coach of
the year after the last three years. It does. It's like it's
like Aaron Rodgers.
Made it, the fact that actually he didn't get caught.
Coach of the year. I think a lot of people are like, well,
he's got Aaron Rodgers, so we're not going to make him
coach of the year. But I think most people should,
I know, that's what, manzo's a most people.
And that all the crap that
guten Coos and Mark Murphy of thrown on his plate.
Holy cow. I mean, he deserves more than coach of the year.
It's like Medal of Honor. I mean, basically,
but man, you. Yeah, we had, we had fun. We had fun with
the whole Aaron Rodgers. Mike Tomlin respectful nod to each
other. Yeah. But can you get deep down?
I think Mike Talman would relish the opportunity
to show Aaron Rodgers. What it's really like to get coached
all that. Hey, I hear an old school, right? Head coach
Wright. Who's not going to deal with that? Crap? Yeah,
but but
yeah, I think that that LaFleur needs to be far, more
appreciated for his ability to tiptoe through that Minefield
on a continuous basis. I don't know about you though,
I legitimately mmm.
Feeling guilty on a Monday morning right now, that we
didn't pick Vrabel McDermott or Harbaugh. Like, I really am.
But we mentioned the, my laptop, but damn. It's like
they'd only three rounds. I know, it's just a tough one,
and they deserve it variables. Gonna beat
you up, for sure. I can't wait. I hope he does. I sent him
a hand. Yeah, but having said that, you might have sent them
a hold of them Pig. Now. I don't know. He your off as
less. He doesn't care. You're the, you're the one whenever we
interview. He definitely doesn't like me and where
you're like,
I don't think he likes me.
Yeah.
He definitely doesn't like me. He's probably big mouth
ex-player. Not as good. I've said some things about
the Patriots. He's probably go screw this guy. I don't know.
I got a lot of respect for him though
and McDermott and Harbaugh. Three guys that were kind of
leaving off the list. I feel like who like maybe are not
looked at as like the creative Geniuses, but like man, when
you talk about tough nose,
like just teams are going to play smart detailed football.
The game is going to be managed exactly the right way. That's
where all three of them are special.
That's it's it's a tough three to leave off the list.
I'll tell you I was going to go horrible until I realized there
was a way to pick LaFleur while also throwing some shade at
Aaron Rodgers that that that Kathy is over for me. That was
the 51. Usually
you usually I was shocked, you didn't pick hard because you're
I think like you're you lead the charge for him as being,
you know, one of the great coaches of our area. You've
always said it, you've been saying it for a few years here.
Well, the guys who just stay and are there and are
competitive and they get so baked into what the NFL is. We
just
We don't pay attention from Pteranodon. We just take it for
granted. We do there. He's finished his 2008 right? And
and they're always in the mix. Yeah, I think that's what
happened to
us, but they're always there and they're always good.
They're always competitive. And they're just part of the fabric
of the league that we can't imagine the league without
them. So we we don't notice them. Yeah, they're just part
of the shield. Yeah. So
anyway, that was fun. It was fun. It was so we'll see who we
hear from.
See if I hear from variable.
Today.
