Especially since they had to go through back-to-back bad seasons and then they're right back to where they were when Brady was here.

The New England Patriots.

I don't know what they are.

Never before has that occurred.

It's all about the quarterback.

To get a quarterback.

Even more so than a coach.

It's about the quarterback.

You've got to get a quarterback.

Well, first let me say I have a lot of respect for Mike McCarthy and what he's done.

And he is an offensive guy.

But I thought they were going to go through the process, which to me meant meeting with Chris Shula, with Nate Sheilhaus, with anyone else who they've had on their list.

You should say Sheilhas.

Sheilhas or Steelhas if he comes here as an OC.

Who knows?

But...

I would have thought they did that for the simple reason that back when Mike Tomlin was hired, he was the guy who could have been Nate Sheilhaus.

They could have waited all the way and interviewed him, and then they said they were blown away.

Well, you're reducing any chance of having a blown away conversation with Shula or Sheilhaus, right?

So I would have thought they'd go through that process.
