Huge news. John Harbaugh's don't come along very often. Neither do Kevin Stefanski's, for that matter. And I would say that there's going to be a really good bunch of coaching candidates available for a lot of these jobs. And there's still one job I'm still waiting to hear about, and that's Tampa Bay. Yeah.
And there was supposedly, and I don't know if it's Tampa Bay was the team, it could be another team, supposedly somebody reached out to John Harbaugh, who still has a team, a coach in place. So there could be another... opportunity out there for somebody.
It could be Tampa. Now, Tampa would be a very good landing spot. The ownership there is well-liked. You have Baker Mayfield. You have the quarterback. There's a team that's won multiple Super Bowls in their history. They've got a great fan base.

Chapter 2: What coaching changes are expected for the Giants?
The weather is a hell of a lot better than it is up here. That would be a competitive place for Jimmy Harbaugh.
Remember, the Glazers don't mess around. They own one of those soccer teams over in Europe and You know, they went after Arians. They got Arians. You know, they brought in Todd Bowles after he got fired. They got Tom Brady, for God's sakes. And they went and got Tom Brady. That's what I'm saying.
So, you know, they may feel like they need a jolt or something with their fans because of the disappointing finish to their season. You know, and it's like somebody else's trash is somebody else's treasure. I can understand after 18 years, just like Bill Belichick in New England.
After 20 years, and you don't have the same players and not everybody's following the same suit and players change, the game changes. And I think in the case of Baltimore, once that story came out about Lamar Jackson, that came from internally. There was something internal there.
And I don't know if that was internal so Steve Bichotte, the owner, would read it and say, you know what, we got a problem at quarterback.

Chapter 3: How might the Tampa Bay Buccaneers influence coaching decisions?
Or was that planted by somebody in the coaching staff to protect the head coach? Yeah. You never know. And you never know about the internal relationships that are going on. I would think that Joe Shane is going to do what John Mara wants him to do, and that is to try to really restore the credibility of the New York Giants.
And in order to do that, you got two guys, one of the two guys you could hire, I think that would do that immediately.
And don't forget, we're talking about the Bucs and going out and getting coaches and stuff. I mean, it's a long time ago now, but they went out and got John Gruden and won a Super Bowl. And they were very aggressive with that. They traded for him. That's what I'm saying. And it's the NFC we talked about. Harbaugh's probably going to want to be in the NFC.
If the Bucs' job comes open, that would be a major competitor for the Giants.
But I still say, though, the Giants are a legacy team.

Chapter 4: What factors make Tampa Bay an attractive coaching destination?
Just like the Browns are a legacy team, and I think the Harbaughs are from Cleveland. I think somebody here on the line is saying that we can go to him if you want. But I still think that the Browns, to me, ownership is goofy. And they do goofy things there.
That's a nice way of putting it.
I mean, but they do crazy things there.
Yeah, I know.
I mean, they had a great draft. And, you know, they bring Shador in. They got Deshaun there. I'm like, what are you guys doing?
Yeah, I don't think they have any idea what the hell's going on with the quarterback, and I'm not even sure why. You could tell that Stefanski wanted no part of Shador Sanders being drafted. I don't think that anybody did. It almost was like that came from ownership as well, the way that those guys didn't even cut it.
I don't think he wanted anything to do with Deshaun Watson either. Let's go to Ron in Buffalo. What's going on, Ron?
First-time caller, long-time listener. You guys are awesome. Thanks, Ronnie.
Tell us about the Harbaugh family growing up in Cleveland.

Chapter 5: What challenges do the Giants face in restoring credibility?
I think he's a great fit for the Giants. He's stable, and he won't be intimidated by that New York media, not one bit. I think he'd be really good for Jackson Dart. My only question is, If he decides not to coach this year, like he takes a Mike Grable route or a Sean Payton and takes the year off, you know, what's next for the Giants?
Because I think the Ravens are by far the most attractive job right now. And if they don't get Harbaugh, then I think what's next for them? What's to say if he doesn't want to come down to Baltimore?
Oh, I think Stefanski would want to be here. I think if all things are equal, I'm just speculating just like you are, Nick. I mean, those are the two guys that the Giants should be targeting, and I think they're going to get one of them. I really do. And then the other guy will have his choice of probably three of the other four jobs. Nick, who do you want the Ravens' next head coach to be?
You know what? I'm tend to leaning on Brian Flores.
Sounds like the Raiders are leaning on him, too, as well. Yeah, I mean, I love Brian Flores. I think he's definitely going to get a job this hiring cycle, which sucks for me. What about Rob Sala? I don't know, man. I mean, I know that people really like... We look at Rob Sala as a guy who just didn't get it done here, but that's not how the league necessarily looks at him.
I think they look at him as a great defensive coordinator who got caught up in a really crappy situation with a crappy owner and an Achilles injury with Aaron Rodgers and maybe deserves another chance. So I don't... But their defense has been bad towards the end of the year, though. And I understand it's a million injuries.
Well, they have so many injuries, man. Yeah. By the way, and Kyle Shanahan said this. He said, in order for us to go to the Super Bowl, we have to beat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18.

Chapter 6: How have past coaching hires impacted team success?
And they didn't do that. So now they have to go on the road. And they do not have a great matchup this weekend. They just don't. Let's go to Phil.
He's calling from Staten Island. What's up, Phil? Good morning, guys. Up. Boomer, especially, I got a question for you. Why is John Harbaugh the end-all, be-all? This guy hasn't done a thing in the last few years. He's got quarterback drama going on, and he's not an offensive-minded coach.
What's your definition of not doing a thing?
Every year, he can never get over the hump. So, obviously, he can't control the situation there.
Oh, boy. Yeah, Phil, your phone's crapping out, and thank God. You know, I mean, like, there's a reason why coaches get let go. There's a reason why franchises keep looking for new coaches. And the Giants are in a situation right now, I keep saying it, they are the Bears and the New England Patriots of last year. They are.
And they are going to be a very attractive team for any of these head coaches because they know they're starting out with a young... athletic, very astute quarterback. And they have Malik neighbors on this roster. They have two running backs that are coming back next year. They're going to have a solid offensive line. They've got to fix the defense.
The defense coordinator is going to be a big part of whatever happens here. But what the Giants need more than anything is the credibility that the Bears fans and the Patriots fans felt when they hired their coaches last year at this time.
And this is what I'm talking about, a call like that where somebody's nitpicking John Harbaugh for the New York Giants. When someone calls up, it actually says he's done nothing the last number of years. You know who's done nothing the last number of years? The Giants. They've done nothing the last number of years.
And all these coaches that are available now, they're either going to be... They're going to be retreads where they do have head coaching experience, or they're going to be young guys that are looking to make a break into the head coaching ranks, like a Clint Kubiak or somebody of that nature that, you know, is around like Mike Kafka.
