It is time to chat about what we can overreact to with five of the six wild card weekend games in the books. We're recording this on the Monday morning of the wild card game in the home of the Cardinals between the Vikings and the Rams. Chris Brockman, Rich Isen, how are you? Good to see you, Christopher.
Great to see you, man. What's up? It's been a crazy ass week here in Los Angeles, California.
You're telling me. We will start this show like what we've been starting pretty much every show since Malibu and the Palisades and Altadena, California. Just to name a few towns here in Los Angeles, California.
Practically got wiped off the planet. We want to thank all of the firefighters and first responders out there in our community, saving millions and millions of people from suffering the awful fate that it does appear those in those towns and others that we just mentioned. Just wanted to throw that out there. I know you and Sarah have been running around town, volunteering and things of that nature. Doing our best.
Yeah, Susie's been doing the same with our kids and it's just been it's been something, man. But we're pleased to be here in the toy department of Overreaction Monday. And it is time to hit it.
Go ahead. Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage.
This place sucks. Overreaction Mondays. All right, Christopher, what do you have to start us off? Rich, we got seven great topics and we're going to look back at week nine. We got to start with Sunday night. Man, that was an unbelievable football game after four duds kind of leading up to it. Baker Mayfield, Jayden Daniels just trading haymakers. Jayden Daniels is going to do what CJ Stroud couldn't last year.
He's going to beat the one seed. Ah, this isn't this is not an overreaction. OK, I can't sit here and say the Lions should feel absolutely secure with the commanders coming in. And this is the way I'm going to start our flagship show later on today. And I'll I'll I'll throw some something similar out here that there are various playoff teams every year, various types of playoff teams every year. Obviously, the bi-weeking teams. And then we saw the two seeds survive and move, survive and advance or or or pound and advance. And in the AFC, it was chalk in that regard. The top four seeds moved on.
Yes. So you've got teams that feel destined, teams that we assume are going to win, teams that were not surprised when they win, like the Houston Texans, for instance. I know we thought the Chargers would want and done them, but the Texans had a terrific defensive performance in the aforementioned. Stroud had his best game of the year. Absolutely.
When when he picked up that fumbled snap and it looked like more disaster for the Texans and it flipped the game in favor of Houston. Correct. So those are those types of teams in the playoffs. Destined. Assume they're assume they're going to win, not surprised when they win. And then there's the ones that say, why not us?
And the Washington commanders are the why not us team. No doubt of these playoffs. No doubt. And that's particularly dangerous. That's particularly dangerous when you have a rookie quarterback who's not playing like a rookie anymore. Big difference between the Jayden Daniels that showed up in Raymond James in week one. And then the one that showed up in week 19. Yeah. He hasn't played like a rookie since what?
Maybe October. And the photograph we're showing for those who are listening, the ones who are seeing a overreaction Monday now on our YouTube channel, there is that cut beneath his right eye that he suffered in the first half. And he mentioned after the game and what he said about it is the perfect personification of who he is. He said he didn't feel it. He said he didn't realize he was bleeding. And then when you saw that cut it, it looked like he needed a fight doctor. You know what I mean? He's bleeding pretty good. Right. And so they had to glue it shut. I mean, that's, that's potentially going to leave a scar.
Yeah. And he said he didn't feel it, which personifies Jayden Daniels to a T I love this kid. And so you follow a kid like that, and then you realize Terry McLaurin is playing how he plays. And then a bunch of receivers that were on waiver wires all year long are particularly difficult to stop now. And then you realize Bobby Wagner's in the middle of this defense in the all pro this year, it looked like his career was over a couple of years ago and now first ballot hall of fame.
So it's not just, Oh, well, you know what? Then nice job beating the bucks. And now you're going to go into the home of the 15 win one seated Detroit lions.
You've got no chance. No, I mean, obviously the lions will be favored to win this game and rightfully so by a lot, by a lot, actually. Yeah.
But you can't sit here and say the commanders have no shot and that you're sitting here going, okay. Jayden Daniels and the commanders are going to make the NFC championship game and go one, one game further than last year's offensive rookie of the year. Second drafted overall quarterback that he couldn't make it to the AFC championship game last year, got beaten by the team that eventually hosted the AFC championship game. And Jayden Daniels could suffer the same fate of those who will host this year's NFC championship game with a win.
Correct. But I don't think you can call this an overreaction pal to start that dude is special. He, he, he particularly is, and he is the first rookie quarterback to win his first game on the road. Since Russell Wilson beat the previous Washington Heisman trophy winning second overall drafted quarterback in RG three in their rookie seasons together. So Jayden Daniels is particularly special and he just broke the eight game losing streak of rookie quarterbacks trying to win his first game on the road.
Bo Nix, having lost earlier in the day, first playoff game on the road. And so, um, yeah, I say this is not an overreaction and we can move on to start. I got a riddle for you. What are yoga mats, a toothbrush and a Hyundai have in common? I'll give you a moment.
Time's up. If you guess they're all fun, well-designed and super useful, you guessed wrong. The answer is you can order all those things on Amazon.
That's right. You can now buy a Hyundai on Amazon, the same place where you order yoga mats, a toothbrush, and pretty much everything else, all from the comfort of your home. And the best part, you won't even have to break down a car sized Amazon box after because you'll pick up your Hyundai at the dealer.
I mean, picture this you're in your PJs snugged in on your couch. You pull up Amazon on your phone and start the process right there. Just locate a nearby dealer, pick your color, your options, check the price. And with a few dotting of some I's and crossing of some T's voila, your Hyundai is ready for pickup. It's that easy.
Just remember to put some real clothes on before you head over, will you? Hyundai now available on Amazon. Visit HyundaiUSA.com or call 562-314-4603 for more details.
Limited availability only through participating Hyundai dealers in select markets. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first.

Rich, you mentioned the AFC, how the AFC is chalk. We are getting the matchup we've been kind of waiting for all season MVP front runners, Josh Allen against Lamar Jackson, Buffalo against Baltimore. The winner of Bill's Ravens is going to the Superbowl.
You know what? When I woke up this morning and I knew we were coming down here to record overreaction Monday, I truly believe I swear to you. I'm not just saying this. I said Brockman is going to say the winner of Bill's Ravens is going to the Superbowl is winning the AFC. I knew it because I knew it because you have been, you didn't think I was going to go win the Superbowl. You know, I'll just say that they're going to that.
The AFC championship is essentially the finale of the divisional weekend. Wow. I thought to myself, you would do that. So I have my prepared answer. I gotta be better at that.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're you're just because I can see you call your shot because you have been duking a top, the chiefs from this chair. I want to stay consistent. I understand. I understand where you're going with this, but you have spent much of the season doubting the three Pete. And part of that is because you believe it.
Part of that is because you like winding it up on this show. And part of it is the Patriot fan in you that doesn't want to see somebody do what Brady could not do a little piece of meat would die. If that happened, that, that, that, that the chiefs would take one step closer to the possibility of making the Patriots, the second best dynasty of this century, even just hearing you say it in the way that you conduct yourself.
No, but I'm a professional, so I understand that, but the topic bar is the topic bar and this is a total overreaction. Come on, bro, the MVPs in this game, bro, bro, come on. Even if the Texans knock off the chiefs, they won by a combined what?
70 something to 14. Even if the Texans knock off the chiefs, they would do it in such a way that would make you think, okay, now the Texans can go into this team's home and go ahead and take care of that business too. Well, hold on to that thought for a second. So, but that is a remote possibility in my estimation and get out of here. Somebody's going to have to come off of this paint swap and go into Arrowhead or host or go into Arrowhead and win that football game.
They're equipped, not saying they're not. I'm saying there's a chance and not a dumb and dumber chance for you beat the chiefs this year. And the other was the toenail shot. Correct? Okay. So for you to proclaim today that the finale of the divisional weekend is the de facto AFC championship game is a total complete overreaction. I saw this coming and we now can move on.
Okay, great. Well, let's talk about the Texans. And since you just brought them up, yes. The Texans, that was impressive, man. I don't think a lot of people saw that coming in the fashion that it went down. The Texans are who we thought they were before the season. They're a team that can make the super bowl. If they had digs in Dell, I I'd buy this.
If they had digs in Dell, they put up 30 points without them. I, I know. Well, I mean, I guess Justin Herbert helped a little bit in a way that I don't believe my homes is going to help. We'll talk about her in a minute. I know where you're going with that one.
I'm sure too. But Stroud played very well. Stroud played like the Ohio state kid Stroud made that play. When the ball was loose, they're down six, nothing.
It's just a little over than two minutes to go in that half. And the ball just that he scoops it up. He scoops up the errant snap, a great photo here. And, and he, and he makes a play out of it and not just makes a play out of it. He made a game changing play out of it. Yeah. I mean, rolling to his right, going out of bounds, throws it across his body guy. Why? I mean, it changed the whole game that wound up in a drive is let's just give him the, the, that was the best case scenario.
The second best case scenario is he just picks it up and, and the Texans runs in or throws it away. Yeah. Right. Right.
Okay. And so then the chargers are up six Oh, with terrific field position and opportunity to run out the clock and a half and put more points on the board instead, or the worst case scenario is the charges recover. Right.
And go up 13. Right. Which, I mean, it was a miracle. It was only six, nothing. I mean, that game really should have been 14, nothing at that point. And that wound up in a drive that gave him the lead. And then they get the ball back and Stroud runs one. Right.
Longest run of his career. Did that remind you of the one against Georgia? Oh, interesting. Yeah.
A little bit. Remember when Stroud was running, he's, he's the one who set up the game winning field goal for that bowl game with his legs. And he hadn't talked about him being a guy that uses his legs to make those kinds of plays all season at Ohio state that year. That's what I was thinking of when he did that. I'm like, that's the, that's the kid who did that against Georgia. So he is playing in a manner that we were expecting.
He didn't for the first, what would you say? Uh, the first almost 28 minutes of the game. He didn't, they were, they were getting thoroughly outplayed. And then the roof caved in because the defense took over and Mixon's taken over, he fumbled. And then the second half Mixon was pumpkin people. So yeah, they, they can make the super bowl, but the Texans, when we thought who they were prior to the season was with digs and Dell and Collins and Mixon and this team with a lineup front that could protect Stroud. So I don't know if they are who we thought they were, but they, or they were a team that can make the super bowl.
I still need to see a little bit more. I'll call this one and overreaction, but it was an incredible win. And now it's now they've got to go and one and done the chiefs and arrowhead. I mean, the defense can shut down. They could, they could make life tough.
They could, they could make life awful tough. Just got to get the chiefs off the field. I mean, that's the thing they do better than any other team is, you know, keep drives going with some crazy third down magic.
Guess what? I think the chiefs are going to do a better job of his covering 12. Yeah. Set a record for, for the Texans in many regards, most receiving yards in a playoff game, by the way, more than D hop more than Andre Johnson. These are, these are pretty good, pretty good names, pretty good names. And then, and then, and then there's this one first player in Houston history at two or more receiving touchdowns in, in, in their playoff career.
So Nico Collins is putting his name in some very select company. Yeah. 12 is nice.
What else you got? Okay. Rich last one before halftime here, let's talk about the guy on the other side of the, the other side of the game in Houston. We need to stop talking about Justin Herbert as one of the top tier quarterbacks in the NFL.
I'm sad to say, I don't think this is an overreaction. He'll still be talked about as one of the top tier quarterbacks in terms of physical talent, you know, arm strength, arms, legs, the whole thing. Right. But I mean, the win a big game, dude, win a game that matters. He's he's won a game or two over 500 in his career expectations.
He just doesn't live up to a man. And like, yes, he had a better season this year with the Harbaugh kind of run first off offense. But come on, man, four picks in a playoff game and a game you're favored. I can't push back. I can't.
And it's a bummer to see. I like him. I like watching him play, but he's the first full-time starting quarterback, meaning, you know, he, he, he didn't start a playoff game due to injury or he didn't take over midway through the season and started a playoff game. Cause the other two we're talking about barely had a hundred regular season attempts and Todd Collins in 07 and Gary Danielson in 83 for Detroit. But Herbert is the, the phrase that NFL network research is using is first qualified passer, which is a fancy way of saying full-time starter. Herbert's the first such quarterback in NFL history to throw more interceptions in a playoff game than he did the entire regular season.
No one's ever done that. So you got to give it up. Like he threw three interceptions in the season, but he was very efficient this season, but he wasn't asked to win games.
Like he had been previously. Right. So let's, so then let's, let's put it in a more positive light then. Sure. You're a positive guy. Okay.
Put it in a positive light. Jim plussed up the team six. Yep. Okay.
Ladidi McConaughey is the real deal. Yeah. Okay. He set the rookie record for most receiving yards in a playoff game, breaking Puka Nakua's record from last year. Okay.
And he's got the third, his 197 yards behind only Calvin Johnson and Damarius Thomas for most receiving yards in a playoff debut in your career. Wow. So Damarius, that would have been the sealer game, right?
2011 wildcard. Yeah. Right. And also it was also the same weekend. Calvin Johnson had 211 receiving yards. Okay.
So McConaughey is clearly a real thing, right? JK Dobbins looks healthy and I think they can make a nice running attack with him and whomever else they're going to have around him, let's get some more weapons. Let's get some more weapons that are consist consistent for, for Herbert defensively. They're a little bit longer in the tooth, I would think, but certainly the past rushers talking about retiring maybe.
Okay. And so the future is bright and I think they got, he he's got the right coach. He's got the right coach for, for, to not only get him where he needs to go, but to potentially use a topic bar like this as the fire, you know, I don't think Jim is a, do you hear what they're saying about you type guy, but he's, I think he's a little bit more positive and sunnier than that sort of thing. But I, I do believe he's got the right guy. The chargers clearly have the right guy. They've got the right set up. They went from fifth overall on the clock to the fifth seed.
So there's some positivity there, but it's tough to push back on this one. Yeah. That's that's too massive, massive playoff duds.
You know that he was the one against Jacksonville. I'm aware of that. So, okay. Game time focused on togetherness this time of year, boy, do we need it.
And boy, certainly in this area, when things get a little bit back to normal, Susan and I are going to take the kids to some stuff and maybe you and your area want to take your family to an event and create some lifetime memories.

And this one is a mighty spicy. If I do say so myself, we're going to be a lot of talk this week about the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin and whether it's time for a change. Here's my proposal here. The Steelers and Cowboys should just swap head coaches, just trade them for each other. Cause both Tomlin and Mike McCarthy need a change of scenery. I'm going to make a, um, I believe it's a Brady bunch reference. Mike Del Tufo can potentially help me with this one. Do you remember it's it's it's time to, uh, time to change.
You must rearrange. Is that the song from Brady bunch? You can't confirm Mike Del Tufo can confirm. Um, so in honor of the Brady bunch, next time we reference, I know that I get it. I understand.
They're only talking about a half century old, but Tom, I think Tomlin and, uh, and, uh, remember, remember Alice in the center square. Um, I'm, I'm, I'm going to say this is not a bad idea. Oh, I don't know how it would happen. One's not going to be under contract as of tomorrow.
Sign and trade happens in the NBA and other leagues all the time. I, I don't think that's a terrible idea. Are you, are you more on board though with it? It's kind of over. It's kind of over. Well, I mean, clearly I am.
Otherwise I would, I would just look at you and say, get out of here. You've been one of the staunchest Tomlin supporters here in the last couple of years. I've been bringing this up. He's a great coach, a leader of men. I don't disagree with that. He is a great leader of men who he coaches go to the mat for him.
Yes. The, um, comeback attempt on Saturday nights, a terrific example. It just, the problem is having to mount such a comeback to begin with.
And once again, just, uh, a cliff, there was a cliff that hit and, um, and it's on the offensive side of the ball. Mostly the most concerning thing. If I'm in the Steelers management in front office is getting punked by a running attack, despite it coming from potentially a three-time MVP and a first ballot hall of Famer 31 year old, who's playing like he's 21. Like you just turned 21 and Derek Henry and how they damn near put 300 rushing yards on the steel, which is what you don't do to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Certainly in a playoff game with division rivals going at it and your most hated one at that, I might add with all due respect to their hate for Ohio, which I, as you know, give a nice salute to, um, so football teams from Ohio, I should say, um, so that is concerning for sure. And you look at Dallas, what do they need potentially? If you think that McCarthy's not it, you want a CEO head coach who might change the culture there with the team that you believe is ready to win now, as I think the Jones family does believe.
I would imagine they believe that. No, I'm oversimplifying things here because again, uh, this in reality, I don't think could happen, but what are the Steelers would steal his fans? If I told you, Hey, your offensive lows, like falling off the cliff, like losing 10 points a game on average, for some reason over the last five weeks, um, we could get a guy who's very well known for his offensive prowess with a Superbowl ring in his pocket. And I got, I used to take tolls and in Pittsburgh hometown kids, right?
Like he talks like you, he looks like you, he acts like you, he is you. You're right. Um, I kind of think Dallas fans would dig the Tomlin switch. And I think the Steelers fans would dig the McCarthy switch, but fans don't run the team. And reality is this wouldn't happen. Is it possible that, um, it happens separately that finding out that Tomlin's available causes the conversations between the Joneses and McCarthy to fall apart in the next 24 hours. And then McCarthy's free.
And the, I don't know. I mean, this is, you've had crazier ideas. It's basically what I'm saying. Well, that's nice of you to say, I just think, look, the report was that the Rooney's are not planning to make a coach in the next 24 hours. I mean, the Rooney's are not planning to make a coaching change, but as we all know, plans change. And I know Mike Tomlin did sign an extension earlier this spring. So he's, he's still owed about $50 million, but you know, the offsets and so that it wouldn't be that big of a bill to the Rooney's.
I still don't think they're going to fire. What about a mutual parting of ways? I understand the, the, the, the sense that's out there now is he it's, it's time for his Andy Reid moment to depart the state of Pennsylvania, where he's been part and parcel of the football fabric for over well over a decade. But this has been the conversation for several years now, you know? So what else, Chris? All right.

I'm glad you're admitting it straight up. Yeah, of course. Mike Vrabel is going to lead the Patriots to a winning record next year.
Let's go. Your roster's not good enough for that, I don't think. Well, maybe on January 14th. Right.
13th. So where you're going to get a whole bunch of free agents? Look, I think people are going to want to come play with this guy. You're going to get lad McConkie instead of somebody from the university of Washington. You're going to figure that one out.
You're going to figure those things out. That front office isn't going to change. Like Cincinnati is not going to pay both their ride receivers, right? One of those guys is going to be available. Listen, I don't blame you for being jacked. AJ Brown, Mike, might want out. I don't blame you for being excited. You got, you got the guy who can put, you know, asshole back in mass hall, you know, and they, they went from their own mass hall, asshole to Gerard Mayo.
And after that clearly didn't work out for, for a year. You're, you're going back to what, you know, you know, you're, you, you know what you're getting when you're getting is a terrific head coach, a CEO head coach coach, a CEO head coach, culture changer, right? Who knows tell you like it is an exact is, I mean, this is the Patriot reddest red meat you can throw.
Yep. To the new England fan, a red jacket, a terrific hire. I mean, there's just no other way to put it. And it's, you know, with the 2020 hindsight of whatever happened behind the scenes that I imagined some deep dive might come out at some point in time about whatever, whatever was going on there with Gerard Mayo will cause everyone to say, well, yeah, you could have done this last year.
Why didn't you? And kudos to Robert Kraft for like a month ago, this did not seem possible at all. It seemed like for sure, Gerard was coming back. They were going to run it back.
And he, you know, look at this season kind of fell apart at the end. He identified, look, we got to make a move. We got to do it. Mike's not going to be out there again. And let's, let's, let's, let's run it back in a way. Josh McDaniel's is coming.
We got some, you know, Mike's going to bring his own front office people. It sounds like, and let's go make sense. All right. It's a great honor. It's great. It's but to say, to say you're going to be nine and eight next year, look, come on.
They lost six, one score games. Okay. So let's flip a couple of those. Drake may make some plays. So you're saying, you're saying this is you're going to be next year's chargers.
I think it's we're commanders. I think it's not where you can, you go from second overall on the clock to second round of the playoffs. I think it's not impossible overall on the clock to the five seed. They could win nine games next year. They had an easier schedule looking at it right now.
They're at the bottom of the league. I think it's an overreaction. We will see it. You might, we might be able to come back to this one, but on behalf of the, the Jets organization who interviewed Mike Vrabel, and then it comes out that they went very, very well, very odd that Gerard Mayo was fired within 24 hours.
And then within a week and a half, Mike Vrabel's hired very, very strange. Thank you once again. What else, Chris? All right. Last one, before we get to the look back, we're obviously recording this before Monday nights, Vikings Rams game, the winner of tonight's game is going to go into Philadelphia and take out the Eagles.
Oh man. I know Philly won the game, but it was not impressive. I say this, you know, that if the Vikings win it, I think they are equipped to do it. If the Rams win it, I'd be really nervous. Saquon Barkley is still running on that Rams team.
And he was honestly awesome on Sunday. You know, the Vikings, you know, both teams play indoors. I get it. I just think that the, I, man, I just don't know. I just think the Rams and the Eagles don't, the Rams don't match up well with the Eagles. And, and that might just be the sense of having seen that game.
I've seen, we've seen the movie before the Vikings could be better equipped to do it. And so I'm, I'm not terribly confident and you know how, how much I love the Rams. I called my shot that the Rams were winning the division. I chose the Rams to win this game on game day morning, by the way, with the rest of the crew, I was stunned.
I thought it was going to be lone Wolf in it. Everyone took the Rams, huh? Pretty much. Wow. Pretty much.
I think Colleen Wolf lone Wolf to the Vikings, which is by the way, yeah, I told her it was like 14 when a lone Wolf ain't too shabby in a neutral side game. Although, you know, word is that there were a ton of tickets, a lot of Rams people gone. Right. So we shall see. I think this is an overreaction.
I think this is more to say either one. I'm I'm concerned that the Rams, if they win it, which I think they will, that's a tall order, man. Do you love the vibes with Philly right now? Like I know Jaylen Hurts is, it seemed like he was a little bit rusty, but it's not like he plays outstanding in career-wise in their playoff wins. You know, he didn't, they're not throwing the ball well, A.J. Brown had one catch and reading books on the sideline. Well, the, the books thing is, you know, that that's, that's an interesting narrative now is that what he's so upset. He's just like decided to start reading, you know, like he, I know, apparently he's been doing it all season and cameras, and it's not like he's catching up on Harry Potter, man.
It's just like, apparently it's a self-help book and it helps him keep his mind straight and whatever. But, but that's pretty wild to see in the middle of the playoff game. But he's just clearly a different cat, man. All these crazy ass wide receivers who are terrific at their job. You know, I don't know, I don't get the best vibes out of Hertz right now. That's all it was. It was, it was a, it was a tough watch from that offense and the Packers defense, maybe you tip your cap to them, but the Vikings have a pretty damn good one too.
I am genuinely concerned about the Rams and how they match up against an Eagles team. Cause we've seen it. We saw it in their house. We saw it in whose house and Saquon still hitting his head on the goalpost. And on, you know, unfortunately that night, cause I was going against him and two fantasy match-ups. He didn't slide and slide there.
He didn't worry about blowing out his hamstring that night. Oh man. Everyone say Quan TD prop yesterday. Holy smokes. My condolences.
So yeah, I'll call that an overreaction. All right. Let's look back to week nine real quick, rich, before we wrap this up. I do like this, you know, I I'm, I'm, I'm wondering if it is now that we're in the playoffs and it's now about the here and now whether looking back 10 weeks is yes, but it's still an interesting, fun endeavor, but I imagine it will.
The ones that I do have have to do with teams at one over the weekend. Okay. Very good.
I would come on. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doubt you. I didn't mean to doubt our, our show on air either.
One that I had, this was heading into week nine. So that would have been after week eight, I guess I had the Texans or frauds as AFC contenders thought that was pretty funny given how they looked on Saturday. Well, I mean, they're, they're, they're two wins away from winning the AFC. It's just that they're going to have to go into Kansas city and or Buffalo slash Baltimore to do it. Right. We thought that they would be potential one seed contenders and that's what would be their way is the path to new Orleans, or at least that's probably what you were thinking prior to the season, winning the conference.
All right. And the other one, the other two were Washington related commanders will be the one seed in the NFC. I don't know what happened after they must've been playing really well after three. Well, 12 wins normally would get you closer than the six seed. But you know, unfortunately for them, there were two 14 wind teams playing for the one seat on the last night of the season. So they are really fun.
And I have so many Washington friends over the years and diehards and yeah, out of their minds. I'm so happy for them. And then the other one was a bears need to make cliff Kingsbury an offer. He can't refuse to be head coach. Well, I think Cliff's going to have his choice. He's in the mix right now.
He's in the mix. I don't know. You know, there's not as many coaching openings as, as we thought there would be. You were talking about nine at one point coaching.
Do you think Todd Bowles survives? That might be open. I don't know. Okay. Cowboys could wind up being open being open. I'm saying there's still North Carolina could wind up being open.
North Carolina could be open, but as of right now, only one of the six is filled. So there's still five jobs. No, I know. Okay.
I get it. Why wouldn't you hire cliff? I'm not saying that they, they, they wouldn't. They now did you hear what Pelosero said on Sunday's game day morning. They're going to wait for Marcus Freeman.
They want to talk to him. I think that's pretty smart, which by the way, he will be free to talk about one week from the night of his taping. Yeah.
So, and Kingsbury could be free one week after this as well, or he won't be okay. Interesting stuff. Great stuff. We will be talking all day, all week about this, uh, what the football Susie and Amy will be talking about it. We'll be talking about it every single day.
