00:00Mike Vrabel is the head coach of the Patriots.
00:02We knew that last week.
00:03Ben Johnson was named head coach of the Bears this week.
00:06Aaron Glenn goes back to home in the Jets.
00:10Liam Cohen says no to Jacksonville,
00:13gonna stay in Tampa.
00:15Then they fire the GM and now he's a yes for Jacksonville.
00:19Funny how that worked out.
00:20And then the biggest one I think,
00:22you know, look, Ben Johnson to me on that list stands out.
00:25But the most interesting one of the week is Pete Carroll,
00:29who is at the end of this thing gonna be like 76 years old
00:33if he makes it through,
00:34as far as staying with the Raiders is concerned.
00:37I think George, if I had to guess,
00:41is he probably did a fantastic interview with Mark Davis.
00:45He's a great, great energetic guy in person, fantastic.
00:50And I'm guessing George,
00:52the way the Raiders looked at this is like,
00:53look, he's probably not the long-term answer,
00:57but all Pete Carroll teams are generally okay.
01:01You know, like Pete Carroll doesn't coach a five
01:03and 12 team in the NFL.
01:05So I think the Raiders are kind of hoping like,
01:08all right, let's just get back to respectability.
01:10He's got good experience, of course,
01:11with different quarterbacks in the NFL,
01:13Drew Bledsoe, Russell Wilson.
01:15So I look for the Raiders, I don't mind it.
01:18And it gives the players in that locker room,
01:20I think somebody to look up to too,
01:22knowing that this guy won a Superbowl as well.
01:25Yeah, you're definitely more a,
01:26you're the optimistic guy on this show.
01:28I'll be the pessimist here.
01:30A, you're in a division with Pat Mahomes,
01:32Justin Herbert, and Bo Nix.
01:34You don't have a quarterback.
01:35All right, I don't know who it's gonna be.
01:37You're not gonna draft low enough,
01:39or high enough, depending on how you look at it,
01:40to get one.
01:41So good luck there.
01:42This is a major rebuild.
01:44And you're hiring a 72-year-old coach.
01:47I find this strange all around here.
01:50Now, don't get me wrong,
01:51I agree with everything you said about Pete Carroll,
01:52high energy, great coach.
01:54A good guy to get.
01:55The Chicago Bears, apparently he was in second place.
01:57All right, they didn't hire Ben Johnson.
01:58They were going after Pete Carroll,
01:59which I think might've made more sense there.
02:02And Jerry Jones actually talked to Pete Carroll yesterday,
02:04right, or Thursday night.
02:06We heard that.
02:07That's how sure Jerry was about shot time.
02:09He went up, talked to Pete Carroll.
02:10And I imagine Carroll said,
02:11ha ha, I'm not dealing with you.
02:13You know, not happening.
02:14So I just find this a strange spot because of the age.
02:18I think Carroll would be great for a team
02:20that's ready to take that next step.
02:21It's a contention.
02:22The Raiders aren't that.
02:24All right, this is a major rebuild here
02:26that even in the NFL, if you do everything right,
02:29three years?
02:31I mean, three years, and that division's rough.
02:32You guys, you've got franchise,
02:34you definitely got God Mahomes.
02:36You and I may even, you know,
02:37going back to the Mahomes being a Hall of Famer,
02:38he's a great quarterback, all right?
02:40Herbert, all right?
02:42He's not Mahomes.
02:43He's not that far behind.
02:44And it looks like Denver has a franchise guy in Knicks.
02:47You have nothing.
02:48I mean, literally nothing.
02:49Who's your quarterback?
02:50Russell Wilson?
02:52You know, are you trading for Geno Smith?
02:54I mean, I don't know, Craig.
02:55I just find this weird from the age perspective.
02:57By the time you turn it around,
02:59it'll be time to get another head coach.
03:01I just, I don't get this.
03:04Yeah, I don't know.
03:05I think that it can happen.
03:07I think that they could turn.
03:12That's my only problem with Pete Carroll
03:14is that I don't quite understand the age thing.
03:17I think he'll be fine.
03:18And listen, as a Cowboy fan,
03:19I do wish that he would have been
03:21chosen over Schottenheimer here.
03:23But I said, Craig, for me,
03:24I just go back to the age thing.
03:26That worries me.
03:27That by the time he, maybe he does turn it around,
03:29he might be 75, 77.
03:31You know what?
03:32You know what I think, George?
03:33I think, look, you made good points about the quarterbacks,
03:36although Herbert at this point,
03:38I don't know that I would be grandstanding on that guy
03:41based on what I've seen.
03:42But that being said,
03:44I think you're setting your expectations way too high.
03:47Like, what did you really think
03:48the Raiders were gonna be next season
03:50if Pete Carroll comes in
03:51and does 70% of the job that Sean Payton did
03:55and takes the Raiders from,
03:56I don't know how many games they won.
03:57Did they win four?
03:58I don't even remember, four or five.
03:59If they get to seven wins
04:01and then get to 10 the next year,
04:02I mean, that would be fantastic.
04:04And I think the other thing that you're missing, George,
04:06absolutely missing,
04:08is that you and I both know
04:11that it is the end of January.
04:13Let me look at the date here,
04:14because I don't know exactly.
04:15The 25th of January.
04:17By the time we get to the 25th of February
04:21and then the 25th of March,
04:23there is a quarterback that you and I
04:27and no one else is talking about
04:29that's gonna go in the top 10.
04:31It's gonna happen, man.
04:32Like, this is a whole,
04:33and everyone is gonna say, franchise quarterback.
04:36It happens every year.
04:38I mean, Bo Nicks.
04:39I mean, we could do this every single year with these guys.
04:41Jordan Love, you may remember in the past too.
04:45Is it Jackson Dart?
04:46I'm not saying it is,
04:48but that's the kind of name, George.
04:49I'm telling you now,
04:50the Raiders will draft
04:51and have their franchise quarterback,
04:53and it is not anybody that we're talking about right now.
04:56This is a fact.
04:57So, I'm not like in a tizzy about that.
05:01I just don't think that,
05:04I think you're seeing things the right way.
05:06I think you're setting your expectations way too high.
05:08Like, I don't think Pete Carroll's going there
05:10knowing that this year they're gonna win 12 games.
