00:00A couple of stories that are breaking here over the last 45 minutes or so.
00:20If you were holding out hope for Ben Johnson, that news broke late last hour going to the
00:26bears.
00:27Best of luck to him and Caleb Williams.
00:30Mike McCarthy could be done, right?
00:32He'll have the Saints opportunity and if that one doesn't come together for him, and I think
00:36he's getting an interview.
00:37Is he getting like an in-person interview or a Zoom call?
00:40I think he's got an in-person one coming up, yes.
00:42Right on.
00:43So best of luck to everybody involved there.
00:45Back to New Orleans where he was once a quarterbacks coach.
00:49Could make a lot of sense.
00:50John Fossil, O.C., special teams coordinator, takes the job at the Titans, so he's not back
00:58for sure.
00:59I liked most things that he did other than the whole Zerline deal.
01:02That sucked.
01:03And the occasional rogue fake punt was just weird that he had that much authority and
01:07autonomy.
01:08What's the reaction been like, Brian, for you?
01:10Yeah, I'll tell you what.
01:12I could do without Bones Fossil myself.
01:14I think he was a little bit too involved.
01:17I think McCarthy gave him too much latitude to affect the game the way he did.
01:21I think there's people in the organization right now that are happy that Bones Fossil
01:25– happy that they had the opportunity to work with him, happy that he's now somewhere
01:29else.
01:30Yeah, you know, I feel like the Cowboys special teams is in a fairly good place and maybe
01:35the next guy could improve upon some of the things they've been doing.
01:39I mean, a soccer guy's coming off the best season ever by a kicker, according to Pro
01:44Football Focus, because of the percentage that he hit, Brandon Aubrey, and the distance
01:50of some of those.
01:51His kicking score is the greatest in history.
