You’re analysis as always is in depth and my go to, for any sort of football analysis. Watching your channel and even your scouting and film mindset mature in the years I have been watching, is something I have seen.

[@JoeRyMi]

I think if Ben Johnson said to Jacksonville: I’ll take the job if I get to pick the GM, I think they would do it. The Bears are an awful organization, so I really have to disagree with #1.

[@Vo1kfang]

In the presser Shad Khan did, he said that if a candidate can explain why they should make FO changes and it's not an Ego/power struggle thing than he's completely open to it.

[@JoeRyMi]

@ Yup. Wouldn’t be shocked to see a Chris Spielman/Ben Johnson era begin in Jacksonville.

[@michael_c2]

It's a better organization than the jaguars though.

[@michael_c2]

​@@Vo1kfangbut isn't that kind of messed up to say that right next to your GM rather than just fire him! The guy hired Urban Meyer.

[@Vo1kfang]

@michaelcorcoran8768 yes. It is. But it's also making sure that if you're firing him, it's not because you've hired a Matt Patricia. Shad said he didn't "want to throw out the baby with the bathwater." To me it sounds like he wants there to be an actual plan in place before he changes the structure of the organization. Tony Pauline's reporting suggests that Baalke might be being retained to help Shad through the process of hiring a new HC and GM and then transition into a new role or advisory position within the organization (which in my opinion protects his job long enough for him to retire in the next 3-5 years instead of being fired this year or next year when his GM contract is up).

[@caleb9271]

The Seahawks O line will be miserable until Schneider actually realizes it's make or break for the roster. I'm not sure there's a coach on planet earth who can fix that mess.

[@swadizzy]

32:33 Joe Brady was 100% scapegoated by Matt Rhule. The situation surrounding Brady being fired after the bye week especially while he had been working a ton with Cam (who the panthers had just brought back btw) was so obviously Rhule trying to save his job

[@zackhurwitz9441]

He's so good. Very similar to what Brian Daboll brought to the table when he was going into his hiring cycle.

Surprised you didn’t mention Glenn for the Saints specifically - he’s got playing and coaching connections with the Saints and Brees endorsed him as his top choice. Seems like he might be the only top choice who’d be fully on board with the idea and he’s probably the most likely guy to get the job atm imo

[@gavinpujado2579]

Been saying this for a while. He also went to UMass and has connections in the area. Unfortunately Kraft will probably hire Vrabel and we’ll be stuck in mediocrity with a rotating OC cycle.

Go ahead and send that hoodie my way big dog! We’re gonna crush the like goal. The channel is really starting to grow the past year and I’m here for it.

[@mamayl8592]

Another possibility for the Saint HC would be Aaron Glenn. He was the Saints defensive backs coach form 2016-2020. And he even finished his playing career with them in 2008, so there could be familiarity with the organization and him. And I'm a Lions fan, so I'm not in love with this happening, but it would make some sense.

[@wlc8583]

There is a lot of sentiment that Aaron Glenn might be an even better head coach than coordinator. His motivation skills are elite. He was voted as favorite coordinator in NFL by players for a reason. His speeches are on the same rung as Campbell. He's had four years to soak and help create the culture in Detroit. I could see him, Deshea Townsend, and Ty Montgomery being an enticing staff to any team, I just don't know if that's New Orleans. There's familiarity with similar defensive system and faces in the building, but New Orleans is a mess. The fans might now have the patience for the time it takes when bringing in a D-focused coach he in some ways is an Allen holdover. Fair or not that's how it might be seen. I think NYJ, esp. if they hire Chris Spielmen, would be a better fit. I'm a Lion's fan as well, so I don't want to see him leave. But if he does I'd like for him to go to a situation where he's going to have the necessary support and time to thrive.

[@rosihantu1]

@@wlc8583 agreed. Head coaching needs a certain personality type to succeed.

[@ChewsCarefully]

He's my pick for the Bears. I think that *he, **_especially as a 1st-year HC_* will not allow some OC to come in unless he thinks they're up to the task. So even one the Bears get on the cheap, he Will Hold Accountable. But he probably wouldn't like facing his old team 2X a year. New England might be better for him.

[@MZeternally]

Raiders QB situation sucks, but you have an owner that will set back and be chill, a ton of cap room, and a really nice surrounding cast with superstars

[@CatalystOW]

Klay Kubiak(Klints brother) is a name I could see start floating around for OC pretty soon. Technically just got promoted to OC for the Niners but Kyle's still calling plays. If the niners return to form in 2025 I could definitely see him getting attention from the league at large.

[@rsswimmer8445]

Love the in-depth analysis even if I don’t 100% agree with you all the time. Before I watched the video, I already loved the Joe Brady to the Jaguars fit and the Trevor/BTJ/Engram/Etienne personnel with the Bills. I am also much higher on Aaron Glenn and think he could be an intriguing fit with Montez Sweat and Jaylon Johnson there with the Bears. Finally, I’d really like to see Liam Coen go to the Raiders and maybe they can have AOC/Carson Beck in a QB battle and they can focus on building an awesome group of weapons with Meyers/Bowers/and some more draft picks. Also I feel like Ben Johnson might wait yet ANOTHER season, because I think he wants to find a job along with AGM Ray Agnew of the Lions and the only place he could do that is the Jets which would be a rough job to take.

one thing I think it's worth monitoring is the Steelers DC situation, I don't think teryl austin survives if they lay another egg defensively in the playoffs. not sure who they could get in all reality but I think it would be a good spot for a younger guy to land and learn under tomlin

[@imakungfuninjaguy123]

Good video !

[@zacharysolomon7574]

Just clicked on amd I don't know if you talk about it or not. But in my opinion the colts DC job should be a fairly desirable location for former head coach DC's such as Saleh or I personally think that a Matt Eberflus return to Indy makes sense because of the organizations loyalty to its people. Just my thoughts though.

[@eugenepoon]

35:30 I don't understand, Todd Downing was never at Buffalo when Josh Allen was

[@Floksmenn]

Seems like Steve Spagnuolo is getting looks now. Wonder what you think on that? I've personally thought he was in the Kliff Kingsbury category where his past failure as head coach makes him one of the most valuable coordinators because teams won't hire him to HC again.

[@brendanbeattie2776]

I always love this video every year! As a niners fan, I really hope Salah wants to come back and restore this defense to their former glory. They do not have the juice they once had. I have a feeling the alternative in an internal hire of Staley, which would be everything we don’t need

I think Aaron Glenn will go to the saints and it will be a disaster or amazing no in between. He has had one of the worst secondaries and one of the top run defenses. If he goes in and brings the culture with him, is hands on with run d, and lets his DC run pass defense it could be incredible. However that’s just too many things that need to go right in my opinion.

[@shubtakesdubs5395]

depressed and procrastinating as usual but TFG always got my back

[@BillsLover99]

Flores definitely deserves another chance, but what he did in Miami can not be overlooked as simply bringing in accountability. Fitzpatrick's recent statement how he alienated the staff and nobody would've recommended him is a great reminder, plus if you're a team with a young QB you need to let them develop and you can't just shit on them, people develop in different ways and most often with young men if you constantly tell them they suck theyre just going to hate you, maybe it works on defense but clearly not on offense. Also, multiple people have come out and said he's a changed man, which I don't doubt but give the man that power again, and who knows what happens.

[@ChewsCarefully]

Flores was in N.E. under Bellichick, right? Brady responded really well to Bill dumping all over _him!_ Brady felt the need to prove himself, Bill stoked that fire. Flores, like every other Bellichick coach retained *that* lesson: hard to know if they retained anything else. After all let's look at the Bellichick tree. Failures galore, Flores & Vrabel all of who have mixed results as HC. I've been a coach, trainer etc. I've seen adults destroy talented youths because they (think they) keyed in on this one aspect of human nature & applied it to everyone. But it's the coach's task to adapt to the player, not the other way 'round. If/when I had a kid quit it was because I let them: their own parents were pushing them so hard they couldn't take the pressure & nothing I did could alleviate it. They had to go home to that. There are rumors that Vrabel was like Bellichick, always reminding players who was boss. It's one thing to do this verbally, another to say "these are the rules *you players* aren't allowed to break" then go & break them yourself that he (according to rumor) saw as more propping up his "I'm the boss" thing but that isn't what that is. *That* is telling your players they are Less Important Than You. The first kind, rhetorical command is strictly "he's the boss when we're on the field." The second crosses the line into life off the field. The rumors are Vrabel didn't distinguish between the two. That can lose you the room fast.

[@AtlasAdvice254]

The jags should 100% be the number 1 landing spot right now: Baalke has no security in the GM position at this time per the owner himself. The Jags have the 2nd most draft capital of any team in this years draft with 6 picks in the top 130 An owner who quite literally will not raise a finger and pay for everything you ask for no questions asked The weakest division in football that can easily be won The best rookie receiver (by the numbers) in the NFL Highly likely the freedom to choose the GM along with the usual OC/DC choices No state income tax in Florida

[@anguscrowley851]

Vrabel is such a wild card to me. On the one hand, its definitely starting to look like the owner has her hands in the pie over there based on the reports of her hand-selecting Ran Carthon as GM (and now replacing him with another relationship hire), but on the other I'd be extremely hesitant to give roster control to a guy who claims even partial responsibility for the roster moves made by Tennessee in 2020-2022. Based on that I wouldn't want him for a team like the Bears or Jags that are one "just hit a double" offseason and some competent coaching away from being successful. All that said, can't deny he's a good culture coach and he seems to know ball defensively, as well.

[@emilydaddona6329]

I think Aaron Glenn is a better HC hire than 7th just because I feel like he has the best chance out of any of these hires to replicate the Dan Campbell culture. Defensive head coaches are typically those hard-nosed culture guys and Aaron Glenn has been up close and seen how the sausage has been made. I think if Aaron Glenn doesn't get the Saints job (I think cuz he has such a history in that building that he'll have interest in that job and he can get some guarantees from the front office), he could be a great fit for the Jets to try and fix that broken culture

[@ChewsCarefully]

1) I don't think Aaron could pull that off. 2) I don't think it's even close to his style. 3) Johnathan Gannon. Remember his awkward "Peww-peww" & "have you got fire in your belly?" That felt like Woody Allen. Clearly one doesn't need to wear one's throat hoarse to motivate teams to win.

Maybe Pete can convince our young discouraged tallet to stick around a little while hopefully things get better.

[@ledgnr197gaming5]

Baalke is not necessarily guaranteed to be the GM still. According to the press conference a few days ago with Khan and Baalke as well as some other reports, Baalke could be gone (or be demoted in the organization/take a step down) if a potential candidate would want to choose a GM. So there is a chance he is not a big problem but we shall see. I'd recommend watching Jordan De Lugo (GenJag)'s channel for updates. He is a media member and Jags KZbinr who is good about updating stuff.
