Chapter 1: What is the current status of the Giants offensive coordinator search?
Boomer believes we are going to find out who the new Jets offensive coordinator is in the next 24, maybe 48 hours, which is a good sign. Do you have a timetable for the Giants offensive coordinator? That seems to drag on a little bit. Davis Webb, who was linked to them, is going to be out in Denver.
We talked yesterday about other candidates, including Brian Callahan, who was fired by the Tennessee Titans. I mean, this thing is...
Dragging on a little bit as well, but I think the perception of the two organizations outside of the Steve Tisch thing, but the perception of the two organizations just football-wise is that John Harbaugh will figure it out and get the right guy, and Aaron Glenn doesn't know what he's doing, so I think that's why there's less pressure on the Giants to get this done.
There are a number of people in both organizations that are helping this process out. I'm just going to give you that. The other thing, too, I think for John Harbaugh, and he knows this from being in Baltimore and the way that the Baltimore Ravens have always played underneath John Harbaugh, and I would also say even when Brian Billick was there, they played the same way.
It was defense first, then it was running the ball, making sure you had a top-end running game to be able to make it into the playoffs and kind of grind your way and slug your way through the playoffs, much like both New England and Seattle have done.
When you look at usually these teams that are in the playoffs, they either stop the run really well or they run the ball exceptionally well, especially if you're a Midwestern or Northeastern outdoor team. So John Harbaugh, I mean, like the thing about Cliff Kingsbury that would worry me, he's the air raid guy. You know, he's one of those guys that's always want to throw it all over the place.
When in actuality, the substance of every football team and the toughness of every football team comes from running the football, especially outdoors in the Northeast at MetLife Stadium. So I think that that.
would lend me to believe that Brian Callahan does have a very serious chance to be able to do that because of his dad and because of his history and because of just the understanding that when you're outdoors up here, you better be able to run the ball. I mean, and nothing was more of an example of that than what the Patriots did the second half of the game in Denver.
When the snow was on the ground, what did Josh McDaniels do? It was run, run, run.

Chapter 2: Who are the leading candidates for the Giants offensive coordinator position?
And they just kept running the ball. They didn't score any touchdowns, right? They just had one touchdown and a field goal, and they won the game. Yeah. But they didn't turn the ball over, and they ran it, and they just kept running it. And to the point where they did... I think they gained 100 yards or maybe a little bit over 100 yards. And some of that was Drake May, of course, but...
I would think that that's where John Harbaugh is going to go. It's not going to be the air raid style offense. It's going to be a guy that's going to come in here.
It's going to have a highly touted running game or running background that's basically going to help Jackson Dart develop into what I would like to think is Sam Darnold and also what I see with Caleb Williams and Drake May for that matter.
Do you think that this is a major hit to the Giants because Todd Munkin is with Cleveland? Do you need to know who the guy is before you believe that this was a step backward? We know that John Harbaugh is the CEO of the team. He has input everywhere. He's the leader and the buck stops here guy. He's someone that entrusts his coaches into doing what they need to do on both sides of the ball.
Just remember, a son of a coach. Son of a coach. So he's a son of a coach. And he talked about his dad, you know, at his opening press conference and the influence that his dad has had on him and Jim, for that matter. And both understand the importance of what I've been talking about. So I'm not worried about John Harbaugh at all. I mean, he's here to be. But, I mean, that's what I said.
I'm not worried about him. No, he's going to be fine. He'll get the right guy in here. He will. He will. I mean, you know, it's just he will bring the right guy in here. I mean, it could be Greg Roman again. Yeah.
Again, the only reason I say that is because things got so much better with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore after he left.

Chapter 3: How does John Harbaugh's coaching style influence the Giants' choices?
Yeah, but again, that could be a personality thing. You never know. You never know why a quarterback Even when they got let go in Baltimore, you remember the Todd Munkin interview after everything was over and how Todd Munkin blamed himself that he didn't have a better relationship with Lamar Jackson? Sure. Yeah. I mean, that's really what it comes down to.
And I'm sure that they're trying to find the right personality that's going to fit with Jackson Dart and make sure that that personality comes in here with a really solid ā New England, Seattle-type running game philosophy that's going to help this young quarterback develop into really one of the better young quarterbacks as he grows.
And the second year is going to be really, really important for him. You know that Jameis...
ended up weighing in on who he wants as the offensive coordinator. I know you love stuff like this.
I do. Okay, so who did he weigh in for?
So he was on Up and Adams with Kay Adams. Yep. And he said, with us having Jackson Dart and seeing how Ole Miss did this year in the college football playoff, what if we mix in Charlie Weiss Jr. ? I'm looking out for our young quarterback, man. I want him to be around people he's familiar with. And you hate that one. You don't like that one.
I don't hate that. You hate that decision. I just do not want a college offensive coordinator. I'm sure that Charlie Weiss Jr.

Chapter 4: What impact does a running game have on team success in the NFL?
is smart enough to eventually ascend to being one of these coordinators in the NFL. It's just a completely different game. It's a completely different game. You're playing against the best athletes. You have the most... difficult defenses that you have to deal with. I mean, all the different nuanced things that go on in the NFL.
And again, these two defenses that are in the Super Bowl are reflections of just how difficult it is to play against top-end defenses. And, you know, college stuff, some of it works, a lot of it doesn't.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's the players that you have, too, is a big deal. So some of these guys that are coming in as first-time coaches or first-time coordinators from college are taking over teams where they just fired a coach because the roster stunk or the team stunk for a long period of time.
I could see a real frustration with the head coach if things get off to a bad start offensively, if you don't have the right offensive coordinator offensively. And again, anybody who's ever played the game or coached a game, they know you want a rough and tumble physical football team. And the Ravens always had that reputation.
Now, to a large part, to the great Ray Lewis and what he did to that team and how he led that team from a defensive perspective. And you remember when Bart Scott came from the Ravens to the Jets, how with Rex Ryan, the whole...
way to play defense and how they reacted defensively completely changed so i think that's kind of like what you want here for an offensive coordinator for the giants and the jets i know if if it's frank or greg roman i'm you know they're going to want to run the ball first and foremost they're always going to want to run the ball and that is that is so key to success here in the northeast and again like i say these two teams in the super bowl are the prime example of that
So it's not that hard to understand what you're trying to get to. The question is the personality and that person's background and can they convince John Harbaugh that they have this type of offense that's going to be a fit for MetLife Stadium.
Where are you going to watch the Super Bowl this year? Are you going to go over to the Schaefer Martin estate? Remember, it's 6.35 p.m. I understand what time it is. Trust me. Yes. I know. We're on the same schedule.
I don't know. Where are the Islanders? They may be off, right? Is that the Olympic break? You would know better than me with the NHL schedule. Well, the Olympics start this week. So probably. I would think so. So I don't know if Matthew will be around or he may be a part of the Olympic team. He isn't as we sit here right now, but he could be. He could be.

Chapter 5: Why is the timing of hiring an offensive coordinator crucial for the Giants?
Greg Roman has had a lot of success in this league as an offensive coordinator. Had to actually completely change an offense so Colin Kaepernick can actually become a success.
Yeah, which is still on the table, by the way, until we find out who the Jets' offensive coordinator is. The reuniting of Colin Kaepernick and Greg Roman here in New York, I think, is still a possibility. Oh, you can tell me that, that that's not happening?
No, that's not happening. All right, that's confirmed. That ship has sailed.
I should tweet that out there, because that's breaking news, that the Jets are not considering bringing Colin Kaepernick in to reunite with Greg Roman, who is still on the list of coordinator candidates. Did Lamar win an MVP with Greg Roman as the offensive coordinator? I'm looking that up now. Or were the two of them that he won with Todd Munkin?
Because I'd feel a little bit better about the whole situation if I knew that. So Greg Roman, Ravens tenure was four seasons, 19-2. Yeah, he was. So he was named the 2019 AP Assistant Coach of the Year and helped Lamar Jackson win unanimous MVP. But resigned in early 2023 following criticism of the passing game's stagnation and declining scoring output.
And then they added a few wide receivers. And then they added Derrick Henry. Yeah. It always helps when you have really good players.
Yeah. And also, we don't know how things... I mean, I guess I would imagine things ended well because he ended up working with his brother, Jim Harbaugh, but you don't know.
He got fired. He got fired from the Chargers.
I know, but he ended up working with them, so it's not like... My point is that it didn't end so poorly with John and Greg that it was like, John goes to Jim, don't hire this guy. He stabbed me in the back and he sucks.
