The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)

It doesn't matter how much they paid Kirk Cousins. Just the fact that you have a talented young player sitting on that bench, the yells are going to get really loud when you're not performing well. And I think just big picture, though, when I think of the Kirk Cousins situation and I actually think of like remembering free agency and how he was the biggest name. You know who was not a big name?

Russell Wilson. That was not a big name. And yet Russell Wilson is the one. outperforming Kirk Cousins at this point. And look at the difference in salary they're making each year. So yeah, credit to Jim Harbaugh. Look, the Chargers, they wanted Jim this whole time because he wins everywhere he goes.

And he's obviously instilling something there that is going to be successful for a long time, as long as he doesn't wear them out.

That was some hyperbole there from Mike. Wow, this show never does that. I'm surprised he went as far as saying the worst quarterback performance he's ever seen. He had money in the game.

That the locker room was moved on from Matt Eberflus way before that game against Detroit on Thanksgiving. They were done with him after that Hail Mary against the Commanders. It was that moment when the locker room was lost, not because of the decision he made in that game, or at least the play before the Hail Mary. It was just the fact that he never took any accountability.

So that just rubbed players the wrong way, which is why Captain Jalen Johnson in the postgame locker room went at Eberflus. So Eberflus addressed the team like he normally does. And he's kind of a steady Eddie when he talks to the team after games in terms of the messaging. And this was not one of those games that called for just the same old, same old. And the players had enough of it.

And that's why Jalen Johnson spoke up and basically told his coach, like, nah, we have talent here. We're good. This is on you. And Matt Eberflus wound up leaving the locker room. And then as we know, the next day he was fired.

Somebody that wants to work with Kevin Warren, because it is very clear that Kevin Warren has all the power in Chicago. They made the decision to stick with Ryan Poles, the general manager. They seem to be a tandem here, but it's very clear to me that Kevin Warren's going to call the shots. Just having conversations around the league now.

Look, it makes sense that they want to look at offensive-minded head coaches because they've got the quarterback. He's a star. But when you listen to Kevin Warren talk about what they're looking for, he says a leader of men. I would like more details. I don't know what that means.

But I think we all can assume that's a Dan Campbell type, a Mike Tomlin type, a Jim Harbaugh type, guys that just have a very clear understanding and confidence to what they do. So I'm not sure if Chicago is going to go all in on offensive minded or perhaps pick the culture changer.

It is a good job, and Kevin Warren said that in his press conference. This is the job that everyone's going to want. I don't necessarily believe that, though. I get it. I think on paper, when you look at that team, everything about it, the storied history, they're... Their cap for next year is 80 million plus. They've got the quarterback. They've got some players.
