There are reports that the Atlanta Falcons offensive line coach could be joining Jesse Minter.

And I think he's done a really good job in Atlanta helping Bijan have all the success that he did there.

And I think the other piece of this too is who is making this decision for Minter?

Is it who the ownership and leadership liked in the head coaching interviews, like a Joe Brady?

Is it who Lamar Jackson wants with Cliff Kingsbury?

Or is it going to be someone that Minter wants to bring in?

There's been some reporting that maybe it's Marcus Brady, one of the offensive assistant coaches with the Los Angeles Chargers.

I think that's really going to dictate how we view the Minter hiring right out of the gate.

If they bring in Brady or Kingsbury, and the reporting is that that's who Jackson wants, or that's who Bashadi wanted, then it shifts gears in terms of like, okay, Minter, control your side of the ball.

control the team, set the culture.

And if this offensive play caller doesn't work out, we're going to roll the dice again.

I think the worst case scenario when you're hiring a... I think it's been made too black and white with like, are you hiring an offensive-minded coach or a defensive-minded coach?

You know what the worst case scenario is?

You hire Jonathan Gannon.

And then the defense in Arizona, every year he's been there, was in the bottom three pretty much by every metric.

Like...

If you hire Minter...

And then he's the defensive mind head coach and the defense sucks.

Yeah.

That's the worst case scenario.
