00:00the simple thing that we're discussing, which is away from the field, right, which is just speaking

00:04with the media. Do you think that when he's in front of the players he never makes mistakes,

00:10or do you think this is sort of who he is, he says things in the moment because he's an

00:15excitable guy who wants people to do well, and then we'll have others clean it up after?

00:20I think the latter.

00:21Because it would be very odd for someone in the context with us and with the regular media

00:28to have as many just missteps as he has had and then not have that during his day job.

00:35I appreciate him trying to clean up the Alex Van Pelt thing yesterday on the show and elsewhere,

00:44but it doesn't change what happened. I mean, his first inclination was to throw his offensive

00:53coordinator under the bus and to blame the way the offense ran and that loss essentially on him.

01:01So that doesn't bode well for an organization when that's the guy who's in charge,

01:07and I hate saying it because he's a very nice man, very, very nice man.

01:10That's, you said it, I didn't.

01:12He's great, but wouldn't you say that it's only a matter of time before Jonathan fully

01:16takes over from Robert? I think that if they move on from Gerard Mayo this season,

01:21then that is a clear indication that Jonathan now is the leading guy.

01:26Like, I think if Robert is staying in charge, there's no way that he is letting go of Gerard

01:30Mayo because it makes him look bad. But if Jonathan is stepping in and Robert's taking a

01:35back seat, that's when you're going to see a change. Right. I think you could assume that

01:39the two of them may have differed when it came to the decision to install Gerard Mayo without any

01:47interview process of anybody else long before he had, apparently five years ago, before he had

01:54really done any coaching. Right. And so I think that maybe the two of them had disagreed from

01:59the start on that. So maybe that gives Jonathan the leverage if and when that decision has to be.
