00:00So I asked yesterday, give me some other coaching hires that would be as stunning as this one
00:22in the history of sports.
00:24We can't just take a name that's surprising.
00:27You got to take the job.
00:29Like this is the Dallas Cowboys trying to upgrade from Mike McCarthy and we're probably
00:35going to get Brian Schottenheimer.
00:37So the Tolos are starting to throw out names.
00:39Y'all just stop, stop it down when you want.
00:41Jeff Saturday, I thought was a really good one.
00:43It was just interim though.
00:45I don't even count that one.
00:47Did we, I mean, did we, we didn't know it was interim.
00:50Like if he did a nice job, he could have interviewed, but it was made clear like he's not the permanent
00:56coach when he came in.
00:57All right.
00:58A lot of people said Barry Switzer.
01:01Switzer was shocking, but it was, it was a different shocking.
01:06That was huge.
01:07Yeah.
01:08I mean, Parcells was shocking.
01:09Parcells was shocking.
01:10Parcells and Switzer were big.
01:11Well, the thing with Switzer is.
01:12Keep it in the spirit of the discussion as to the underwhelming stun.
01:16David Cully is the name that comes to mind for me in Houston.
01:19I mean, Chan Gailey was another one thrown on here.
01:22Gailey was a top offensive coordinator at the time.
01:25Like he was considered one of the sharper offensive coordinators in football.
01:28I don't, I don't think.
01:31I don't think Switzer was like a let down hire.
01:34Like, I don't think anybody thought of that when it was in the moment.
01:38Yeah.
01:39I mean, we're talking about one of the most accomplished college coaches in history and
01:43a, and a friend of the owner.
01:45Like if you were, if you were shocked by that, you were just, I mean, it was shocking in
01:48sense that Switzer had been out of football and like nobody was talking about Switzer
01:52coaching again.
01:53And all of a sudden it was like, oh my gosh.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Yeah.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Yeah.
