Part of being the best and brightest is to not run a fool's errand of understanding that you want me to run your team, but you're telling me who I have to hire as a coach.

The best and the brightest don't do that.

They have their own plan with their own people.

Now, if Billy Donovan just happens to be the coach that they choose to run it, fine.

But there's no way, and I know there's only 30 of these jobs.

People talk about the head basketball guy of an NBA team.

But if you're telling someone, Billy Donovan's who you have to use as your manager.

We just went through this with the Bears.

Remember when Ryan Poles came in?

And how did that work out for Ryan Poles?

Matt Eberflus being quote unquote suggested.

Oh, yeah, I love it.

It's like vehemence.

You don't use it often, but you can break glass in case of emergency.

I remember when that came out, and just my thought was, I have never heard a head coach release a statement welcoming a new team executive.

That was like a first, at least in my experience.

Layla, do you remember when you heard this live?

The look that you and I gave each other?

And then whoever was within looking distance?

Oh, that's because he just got done roasting someone.
