I think if

an alien came down to earth i guess i i think if you asked ai to compile like the best coaching candidates by um pure numbers and stuff like that there's no reason mike mccarthy shouldn't be near the very top but i think it's more of the details with mike mccarthy that i that are negatives for him um but yeah i mean the pure numbers are are really really good i mean right like
