Instagram at JR Sportbrief. If you're driving, don't look it up. He asks me, are you from Rochester, New York? Me too. Nice shout out to Rochester.

No, James. I'm from Downstate in New York City. Also living in Atlanta. And that's where I'm from. I'm here in Rochester for something amazing. Look at my social media.

Oh, he did. Thank you, James. Appreciate you.

Looking at all my photos here. Hey, thank you to Mike Danger. Gene Battaglia here. 95.7 the fan in Rochester. I appreciate you. Thank you guys for the hospitality and I like it here in Rochester. Everybody's so friendly. It's about to be like zero degrees in about a day, but who cares? Everybody's so warm.

They make up for it. And speaking of warmth, in the next few minutes, I'm not going to be discussing warmth. In the next few minutes, I'm about to be cold as ice.

Every single Wednesday night into Thursday morning, I do something that's a lot of fun. I bring you a new top six list. I identify something going on in the world of sports. And I decide to give you a list of six. And why six? Sounds weird, JR. Why you don't do top 10?

Why you don't do top five? Everybody else does it. I'm different. I do what I want. I'm like Cartman from South Park. I do what I want, except for I'm not short.

I'm not a cartoon and I'm not from Colorado. And so tonight, with a new top six list, coaching has been a theme in sports right now. You got Jacques Vaughn, right? Jacques Vaughn becomes the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. The interim tag is knocked off and it's his job now. As a matter of fact, Jacques Vaughn getting this job after Steve Nash got the boot.

Even Jacques Vaughn is finding, I guess, some humor in it. He's like, yeah, sure, I wasn't the first choice, but I'm here anyway. I guess I was the, was it the write-in candidate in the minds of elections right now, but I'm okay with that. I said to my wife, I might have not been her first choice and we've been together 20 years. So, you know, it could all work out.

So off we go. Sounds like a loser. I'm sorry, but damn, it's not something you admit publicly. Maybe I guess when you've made millions of dollars and you've had a 10 year NBA career, it's not like he was a star, but damn, you sound like a loser. If I ever meet him, I'm going to tell him that too. Anyway, coaching is a theme, not just in the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets, but we know this with the Indianapolis Colts. Jim Irsay on day three, he's still out here defending his hiring of Jeff Saturday, who has no prior coaching experience, even though he played at a high level, won a Super Bowl. Jim Irsay still telling everybody, yeah, I picked him.

He's my guy. I've never hired a losing head coach. We're the fourth winningest team in the league. It's not about belief, it's about fact. What we've done, we're better than most all. It's that simple.

Our record proves it over a period of time. So you don't have to believe much when it's there in black and white, you know, and the thing I'd say, you know, Al Davis has always been my biggest influencer in terms of football. I mean, Shula, Paul Brown, Tex Ram, yes, but Al was always number one. And if Al was here and you'd say, Hey, Al, why do you think Jeff is going to be successful? He'd say three words. He's not scared. I've never hired a losing head coach even though right now I sound like a loser. What a guy.

I hope it works out for him. I do. I don't. Why do I care?

It's the Colts. I don't care if they win. I don't care if they lose.

Just good for them. He does sound like a loser when he says that. Let's play that beginning part one more time. I want to laugh. I've never hired a losing head coach. We're the fourth winningest team in the league.

It's not about belief, it's about fact. OK. All right. We get it. We get it. It sounds like a loser.

I've never hired a. When you have to run around and tell everybody like what you've done over the past forever is you just sound like a loser. Well, now it's going to be time for a new top six list. And unfortunately. It's going to continue on with that theme of of coaching. I'm going to give you a personal list. I'm going to give you some of the worst head coaching jobs ever. The worst head coaching performances ever. Some of these head coaches are some of the best to ever do it as an overall. But they've had some years.

They've had some experiences where you just go, man, the hell were you doing? You should have been fired. You should have never had the job.

You should have been given the boot. So let's not waste any time. It's time for a top six list of the worst coaching performances ever. Six, five, four, three, two, one. It's time to get J.R.'s latest top six list only on the J.R. Sport Brief.

That's right. It's the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. It's time for a new top six list. Worst coaching jobs ever. Worst coaching performances ever. How about we start you off here at this number?

Number six. This personally hurt my soul. I like the New York Jets. I love them. They suck, but I love them.

I'm a masochist, but I still love them. There was a point in time when the New York Jets hired a head coach who only got a job, I guess because he used to wash Peyton Manning's underwear. I don't know how he got this job. I'm talking about Adam Gase. This man was a head coach with the Miami Dolphins after he washed Peyton Manning's underwear. That's a joke, by the way. I don't need no lawsuits. Adam Gase then gets a job with the New York Jets.

Let me help you out here. Adam Gase had a losing record with the Dolphins. The New York Jets decide to hire a loser as their head coach. That's what happens when you are a loser organization. So the New York Jets bring this guy on and he stinks.

Of course, he does. The record year after year gets worse. You want to know why Sam Donald stunk? Well, look at one of the reasons his name is Adam Gase. In 2022, he went to and 14 and they get to the end of the season.

And, you know, you try everything. You start pulling out fifth graders from the stands to call plays because you're on borrowed time. And so Adam Gase at the end of the season, he basically told the reporters for the Jets, he's just like, yeah, I let Dow Loggins offensive help guy call the plays.

Except for the media was watching him the whole game and realized, wait a minute. This man is not even calling plays. He's talking to another coach. And Adam Gase is trying to explain and he's like, well, he was calling the plays and then he got caught in the lie and then they gave him the boot. Listen to Adam Gase try to explain what the hell he's doing as a head coach.

We've done the same thing the last four years. We were watching Dowell through the whole game. He wasn't doing anything.

He was just standing there. He tells me it's not hard. This is not hard. We go through it the drive before. Hey, these are the three plays. I do the third downs. So what happens after the three plays when you have a steer because we were watching one where Dowell was talking to Frank Pollock. He wasn't calling the plays you were for. What part of the game was it? I want to say that was the third quarter. Yeah, when we got down, then I was trying to do some of the two minutes of the two minutes stuff. This idiot also admitted that, yeah, I got I got three plays that I just run. And after that, I figure it out. What do you do?

What happens if you go on a drive? What the hell are you doing? Yeah, I got three plays. I'm just going to run them regardless of what happens. Is that what Peyton Manning taught you? Sure, he did it. It's funny how you just get a job by being Peyton Manning's, you know, quarterback coach.

What a bunch of nonsense. You want to talk about one of the worst head coaching performances, 10 years ever. Adam Gates, number six on the list. What do we got next?

Number five. What are the odds? What are the odds that the other coach is also a former Jets coach? What are the odds that this guy also coached the Buffalo Bills? What are the odds that he is one of the funniest dudes on television? I hear about him. I don't really watch, but I see him. It's Rex Ryan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. He took the New York Jets to two AFC title games. I can't take that away from him. But he was also extremely bombastic.

He was extremely eccentric, whether he wanted to yell about getting snacks or whether he wanted to just always hype his guys up. They came a point in time where he wasn't a coach, but so much a mascot. Yeah, we know about your defense, man. What about the offense?

What about the whole team? And then things started getting weird with Rex Ryan. There was a point in time at the end of his tenure with the Jets around 2013-14 where a video went viral. A video that was supposed to remain private was found on the Internet and went public. It happened to be Rex Ryan's wife with her feet outside of a car in a parking lot and the voice on the other side of the camera sounded like Rex Ryan. Imagine walking into a room, a press conference, where everyone is going to ask you about your extracurricular activities.

This is what it would sound like. Mr. Ryan, did you and your wife make the foot fetish videos? Well, you know, obviously I knew these questions coming and things. This is a personal matter and I'm not going to discuss it.

Did you confirm if that was you and your wife in that video? Again, this is a personal matter. I just think that a lot of people, if this is your wife in the paper, a lot of people have commented it's his wife. It's kind of cool that he has a fetish with his wife's feet. You know, and I understand, you know, I'm going to get asked this question front way, sideways, back way, all this.

It is a personal, it's a personal matter. Yo, I need to find, I'm going to do my own personal investigation to find out who the last reporter was. And yes, this was almost, I don't know, eight years ago. Hey, there's some people that probably think it's pretty cool that you have a fetish for your wife's feet. Whoa. Whoa.

Could you imagine showing up to work and you're sitting in a meeting and people are going, hey, is that you? Is that you and your wife? Whoa. Mr. Ryan, did you and your wife make the foot fetish videos? Oh, my goodness. Hey, Rex Ryan is still on TV and he's on ESPN.

His wife also had a tattoo of Mark Sanchez. I mean, goodness gracious. Let's move on. I just. Well, don't move on yet.

What world are we living in? And why are you putting that on the Internet for? He should have been like, yeah, I got a foot fetish. Leave me alone. Anyway, let's move on.

It's it is a personal to personal matter. Number four. Number four. You want to talk about some of the worst coaching jobs ever. One of the worst coaching tenures ever.

One of the worst performances. What about getting a job that you just decide to quit? What about having a job? And then you suck at it. And then you just you're not even man enough to tell your team that you quit.

You leave like a note, a laminated note in their locker to say, I'm out by. My friends in Georgia know who it is. It's Bobby Petrino. He thought he was going to coach Mike Vick. Mike Vick had his own major personal issues where he was incarcerated. And Bobby Petrino was just like, man, I ain't doing this. He went from Mike Vick to Joey Harrington.

I guess that was enough of a punishment. And so with a record of three and ten, he quit. He decided to go to Arkansas, where he ultimately got fired there because he was putting a woman who wasn't his wife on his motorcycle.

And then he was lying. It's just he seems like an interesting individual. Arthur Blank is a nice guy, a classy guy. I want you to hear Arthur Blank and Rich McKay from the Falcons years ago. This is courtesy of the Associated Press. Arthur Blank sounded as ticked off as you possibly could about paying this guy money and he quit. I think the best way to describe the way that we feel is betrayed and and let down.

Blank and team GM Rich McKay spent more than an hour answering questions from reporters. They could offer little explanation for why Petrino decided to jump ship. He was frustrated by the pro game and more comfortable in the college game. And he was also emphasizing to me, I think that it was having what he thought was a very tough impact on his family.

Excuse me? He thought coaching the Falcons was having a tough impact on his family? Well, what about the woman he was riding around on a motorcycle with that wasn't his wife that he lied about? Did that have a tough impact on his family or am I making that up?

Very tough impact on his family. Yeah. Well, ask. Let's find out what happened at Arkansas. Oh, yeah. I was on a motorcycle. It was an accident. I was by myself. Oh, oh, the lady I was working with.

Yes, she was on a motorcycle with me. Tough impact on his family. I forgot that part. Let's keep it moving. Bobby Petrino, awful coaching job.

I have him at four. Who's this? Number three. Oh, this is someone else who couldn't keep himself to himself if you get my drift. Oh, this is someone who just went to the NBA finals. Oh, this is someone who was, I guess, in a long term relationship with child with me along in. Oh, he was sleeping with someone in the organization.

It's Ime Udonka. This man went from living in the deluxe apartment in the sky. And now he's underneath the bridge.

So much so that even Matt Barnes looked at Ime Udonka and was just like, Yeah, yeah, that's my guy. We got to give him a break. And then he found out what happened.

He's just like, oh, no, no. What he did was was terrible. Listen to Matt Barnes tell it. Without knowing all the facts, I spoke on Ime Udonka's defense. And after finding out the facts after I spoke, I erased what I posted because this situation in Boston is deep. It's messy.

It's 100 times uglier than any of us thought. And that's why I erased what I said. Some things happened that I can't condone. I can't back. And it's not my place to tell you what happened.

If it ends up coming out, it ends up coming out. Yeah, well, he was sleeping with somebody in the organization that he wasn't supposed to. He was told to stop and he didn't stop. This man went from coaching in the NBA finals to coaching as many games as you and me.

None. Even the Brooklyn Nets pretty much told, hey, man, you got to stay away from that guy. It's like the Brooklyn Nets enjoy these type of relationships, the relationships where you bring people in and they embarrass you.

Some people know what I'm talking about. Anyway, Ime Udonka, you want to talk about a terrible coaching tenure? What a way to end his. That's why I have him at number three. What do we got next?

Number two. You know, I wish this next dude nothing but the best. This man is actually in the Hall of Fame. He's one of the best coaches ever. He need to be no coach recently. I'm talking about Tony La Russa. He just turned 78 years old. Unfortunately, he's dealing with some health issues.

I wish him nothing but the best. He shouldn't have been coaching in the first place. Jerry Ronsdorf brings him in and he's like, hey, you coach the team. And he does. And he's already ruffling feathers, although they were having a winning record.

Remember when Yurman Mercedes? They were they were beaten up, I think, on the Minnesota Twins. And then Yurman is just like, I'm swinging anyway. Like after the game, his teammates didn't care that he was swinging in a blowout. But Tony La Russa was like throwing his own guy under the bus.

Tony La Russa had no problem that the Minnesota Twins were trying to throw at his own player. He was like, he needs to he needs to learn a lesson. Listen to this. You made a mistake. So, you know, there'll be a consequence that he has to endure here within our family. But, you know, it won't happen again because, you know, Jill will be on the lookout and I will be too. And we'll go running in front of the pitcher. We have to. Man.

It's only La Russa. Harsh. What's even worse is when he was falling asleep in a dugout this year. I hope it's not health related, but I know this much.

It's definitely age related. He should have never gotten the job anyway. One of the greatest, most successful managers ever had one of the worst 10 years ever as he returned to the White Sox.

Get well soon, though. It's the J.R. sport re-show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. I'm giving you my personal list of some of the worst coaching jobs and performances ever. When we come back, it's very, very simple. I'm going to give you number one.

Don't move. Number one on the other side. It's the J.R. sport re-show. CBS Sports Radio.

Mr. Ryan, did you and your wife make the foot fetish videos? You're listening to the J.R. sport brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the J.R. sport brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're such a man of the people, though. You take more calls than any sports personality I've ever known. And to take words out of your mouth, pardon me, we appreciate you, man. Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. It's the J.R. sport brief show here with you on CBS Sports Radio, bringing you a new top six list.

It's what I do every single Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Tonight is no different. Coaching has been a big theme in the world of sports right now. We have coaches who have quit. We have coaches who have been fired. We have coaches who have jobs with no experience.

It runs the gamut. And so I've given you a top six list, a personal list of some of the worst coaching jobs we've ever seen. Some of the worst coaching performances and tenures that that we've witnessed.

This is my list. Let me give you a recap before I give you numero uno. And number six, I gave you Adam Gase. I have no idea how this man became the head coach of the New York Jets. He was a quarterbacks coach for Peyton Manning. And then he gets to the Jets and he shows that he is a complete disaster at the end of his tenure.

He's out here lying to the media. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dow was calling the plays his assistant. He's like he was calling the plays. They're like we were watching him the whole game. And he was like sitting on the toilet.

He was not calling plays. Oh, I'm sorry. And number five, I gave you another Jets coach, Rex Ryan. Imagine having a press conference where the first question is, did you and your wife make the foot fetish video? Excuse me, Mr. Ryan. Did you and your wife make the foot fetish videos? Like, come on. Rex Ryan was a good defensive coordinator, but a head coach.

He really became a distraction. Keep those videos. Well, don't make them at all. No, do what you want. Well, I don't have advice.

I don't know what I'm saying. At number four, I gave you Bobby Petrino. He thought he was going to coach Mike Vick. He ended up with Joey Harrington. He ended up quitting 13 games into the season. And he didn't even tell his guys, hey, guys, I'm leaving. I ain't doing this. He left the note in their locker. This is like someone who says, hey, I'm going to go get some candy.

I'll be back in an hour. And they never come back. Bobby Petrino left. And he went to Arkansas. And then he found someone to sleep with that wasn't his wife.

Anyway, at number three, I gave you Emei Hudaoka. Oh, maybe he learned a thing or two from Bobby Petrino. This man went from the NBA finals and then he went to someplace where he had no business going. And now he has no job. And is he going to get one in the future?

Probably. But the Brooklyn Nets just have just had to pass over him because he's still toxic. You want to talk about terrible coaching jobs?

How about at number two? I gave you Tony La Russa. Unfortunately, he's not in the best of health. He just turned 78. He should have never had the job. You almost made your and Mercedes retire.

You almost made the guy cry. He didn't even have the back of his own young player. This man was in the minors for like almost a decade. He gets to the bigs. He's swinging at hitting home runs and blowouts. And La Russa is just like, yeah, if he if he dies, he dies. If the other team wants to hit him, they want to hit him. Good. He'll learn.

Like, whoa. And then icing on the cake was forgetting some of the rules, not knowing some of the rules this past season, and also falling asleep in a dugout. Maybe it's as a result of his declining health.

I hope not. But it was still a poor performance, nonetheless, for someone who was already in the Hall of Fame. And so where does that leave us? If I have to talk about some of the worst coaching jobs and performances ever. That leaves us with this number.

Number one. It was only about a year ago. That the NFL had a head coach in the league who did not deserve to be there. That the NFL had a head coach that, of course, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Sean Khan decided to bring in, even though he had no experience at the professional level. He won championships in college.

One at Florida, one at Ohio State. But then Sean Khan thought that was enough experience to just give him the keys to the castle. And what a disaster that turned out to be. How about you get a head coach in. Who hires a strength and conditioning coach who was basically accused of being a racist. Yeah, what a what a nice way to start off your tenure. Let's hire him. What about bringing in a head coach who decided to give Tim Tebow another shot at tight end?

What a distraction that was. What about an NFL head coach who wanted to tell his teams in practice that they were winners and losers of practice? What about saying the same thing to your coaches, reminding your coaches that you're the boss, that you're a winner and that they're losers? What about allegedly kicking your kicker?

And I guess this is to top it all off. What about losing? A Thursday night football game in Cincinnati, close to where you used to coach in college. Sending the team back home on the plane.

You stay behind. You go to your bar, your own bar, and then you're caught on video with a young woman, a college aged woman in your lap who is not your wife after a loss while your team is on the plane back home. I think we all know who number one is. One of the worst coaching jobs ever is by Urban Meyer, formerly of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I am never going to forget this press conference where he told everyone what we already knew, that he was stupid, stupid, stupid.

This is him apologizing for hanging out with that young lady in his bar that was not his wife. I had a very pointed conversation with him, owning a stupid mistake that I made and that the job of a coach is to number one, health and safety of a player. Number two is motivate him and bring out the greatness in him.

And number three is give him everything possible to be successful and get him a great locker room and then get the heck out of the way. And I apologize for distraction with a huge week coming up. Man, the writing was on the wall. He didn't regain the trust to anybody. And every week there was something new. The coaches kicking the kicker.

It just went on and on. He didn't even make it through a full season. ShotKon had his back. Oh, I believe he can regain the trust of the locker room. But then he still had to fire him. After 13 games. It's crazy. Tom flies.

That was almost almost a year ago. Urban Meyer. One of the worst coaching jobs ever. And I got him at number one. Now he's on TV.

It's the J.R. sport brief show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. There have been other individuals who have done terrible when it comes down to coaching. How about Kurt Rambis? What a disaster that was.

Oh, my God. If I remember correctly, there was a game in Madison Square Garden. Larry Brown with the Knicks. This man had the exit on a stretcher.

Is Stephon Marbury driving that crazy? There have been a lot of great coaches, even great ones. Who've had some terrible experiences. The phone lines are open to you right now. That's eight five five two one two four CBS. That's eight five five two one two four CBS. What have been some of the worst coaching jobs ever?

Which coaches have just laid out some of the worst performances? I just gave you six and I got Urban Meyer at number one. I'm going to take your calls on the other side. It's the J.R. sport show here on CBS Sports Radio. You are listening to the J.R. sport brief on CBS Sports Radio. First of all, you know, I just want to start off by saying I respect you a lot and I love your show and everything that you do.

So I just want to say mad love and love everything that you do. Call in now at eight five five two one two four CBS. The Los Angeles Lakers are two and nine. The Clippers just beat them 114 of one on one.

LeBron James and he leaves. He's injured some. Oh, my. Here we go.

Oh, my goodness. Are we going to have to put LeBron James in the Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers category? Maybe John Salley, who said that he won't break. Kareem's record, maybe John Salley knows something. Here we go. Eight five five two one two four CBS.

That's eight five five two one two four CBS. Tonight, I just gave you a new top six list. We looked at some of the worst coaching performances.

Ever. And I gave you Urban Meyer at number one. Someone who came in and did a terrible job. Had an awful year. I don't care if they are Hall of Fame coach today that they crap the bed one year terribly.

I said the phone lines. Who's a head coach? Who's a manager? That stands out to you for having a terrible, terrible year. John is calling from Pennsylvania. Hey, John, you're on CBS Sports Radio.

What's up, my man? I just want to mention there's one coach that you didn't put up or Steve Spurrier. I don't know who's worse. Steve Spurrier is a coach or Dan Snyder is an owner. Yeah, they hated each other's guts.

Steve Spurrier for his time with the at that point, the Washington Redskins. Yes. He has the worst two years being a Redskins fan. OK, well, thank you, John. Do you have anything in more detail you want to share about it? It was bad.

It was a bad two years being a Redskins fan. Not so well these days. OK, well, thanks. Thank you, John.

John is a man of many words. Thank you for calling the radio and sharing. 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. Let's go down to Atlanta. I'll be back. Keith, you're on CBS Sports Radio. Hey, J.R., thanks so much for taking my call tonight, man. As always, a great, great show.

Loved all of the selections that you have for that top six list. But an honorable mention that I definitely want to throw out there is David Coley for the Houston Texans last year. Oh, no. Yeah, poor guy, man. He was he was set up to fail from the start, but he really didn't do himself any favors by some of his in-game management last season and really kind of proved he was in over his head. Keith, you sat down and watched Texans games. Are you OK? Are you like... Well, our Falcons, our Falcons weren't that entertaining to watch last year either. So, you know, I had to find some... I had to take solace. You know, misery loves company. So I had to, you know, find other ways, other outlets to try to feel better about my own team. So you watched something that was worse? You know, maybe a little better about our Falcons, although this season they're not playing terribly bad based on all of the circumstances.

No, touche. You know, this year is better for the Falcons. We know that they still need a quarterback, but even somehow, some way with Cordell Patterson out, they've still been able to kick everybody's ass with the run game. So, yeah, they're better than what they did last year.

Progress, progress. Right, right. But yeah, David Coley, like I said, I feel bad for the guy. He was kind of promoted to a position that he probably had no, you know, no business kind of handling.

He was just, quote unquote, holding down the fort. Keith, I appreciate you for calling from Atlanta, man. Thanks so much, JR. Take care. No doubt.

Of course. Can't wait to get back to Atlanta. Atlanta misses me, I think.

Maybe. 855-212-4CBS. 855-212-4CBS. Clark is calling from Mississippi. What's up, Clark? How you doing, JR? Thanks for taking my call, man.

Sure. I just want to add an audible mention to this coach list. John Gruden's tenure at the Raiders, man, that was horrible. Everything down from trading away one of the best pass runs in the league to Khalil Mack, the Antonio Brown saga, and of course, all the ugly emails that came out of showing his true character. So I just want to say that was pretty bad for me. No, I hear you, man. Especially now when you're suing the NFL and it's just, it's a bad situation. He would think he would just want to disappear, you know?

No, listen, you, some people, when they're going down, they want to go out swinging and he wants to get paid in the process, so. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Clark. That was just an honorable mention. I want to add, appreciate you taking my call, JR. No doubt.

Thank you, Clark. Yeah, I think John Gruden has shown what type of person he is. And then what was it, a few months ago he was sitting down kind of telling everybody I'm not a bad person? He goes to church. Oh, is that what, yeah, he went to church, right. Yeah, he's been married for 20 something years and all that, yeah. Right.

He's like, I go to church, I've been married for 20 years. Let me put it to you this way. If you have to tell people you're not an awful person, just shut up, go away. Think about what the hell you've done. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a bad guy. Who you convincing? You trying to tell me or yourself?

Sheesh. Alan is calling from Toronto. Hey, Alan, we're real close to each other right now. I can swim over Lake Ontario to see you, man. You excited? Yeah, you know, we used to have a ferry that went diagonally across Toronto to Rochester, 70 miles. If you drive there, it's 160 miles, but I was on it once, as a matter of fact. I went to the Lilac Festival and I went to Frontier Field to see the Red Wings play. It's been a ball for about 20 years. Tell me about the lilacs.

Yeah, it was great. All kinds of tulips everywhere and different types of flowers. Rochester is known for their lilacs. I didn't know that. Are you a botanist? No, no, no, no. It was a tourist attraction, that's all. I looked for tourist attractions and I decided to go across the lake.

Yeah, I like lilacs and tulips and I love all of that, but go ahead. Hugh Jackson, three, thirty-six and one. And he frequently clashed with the front office, with Sashie Brown, and he clashed with Baker Mayfield. He was fired on October 29th. They were 2-5-1 in 2018. They went 0-16 in 2017. He did all right in Oakland. They were 8-8 in 2011. Currently, he's coaching the university Grambling Tigers and he's 1-5 this year, so this man is a real loser. He was an offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals.

He went back there in 2018-2019, but that is the worst record of all time. I lost count of how many times they said, may God have mercy on this team back in 2017. Yeah, and it's always somebody else's fault when it comes down to Hugh Jackson as well. He's always passing the buck. Coach is only as good as his players. No man is an island and they can't wave the magic wand. If a team is horrible, they can't wave the magic wand.

If I coached the Browns, I'd suck too. Thank you, Alan. Appreciate you, man. Always great being on the line with EJ. No doubt.

Thank you, Alan, for calling from Toronto. I know some, but no, you can't. I guess that's impossible, right? Yeah, you can't can't go over Lake Ontario. You can try, but you can't do that. I'm not trying.

It's not like a death wish. It's the JR sport re-show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. We're talking about coaches. Coaches who have done a terrible job. Had a job. Probably lost the job.

They were crap while they were doing it. Is Jeff Saturday going to be on this list? Probably. 855-2124 CBS. Ain't nobody done a worse job than Urban Meyer.

Tell me about someone else who kind of got close. More of your calls when we come back. Trying to see what's going on with LeBron James. Injured again.
