Chapter 1: What were the last-minute discussions between John Harbaugh and the Titans?
You know, there was some more reporting about how on Saturday, as late as Saturday morning, the John Harbaugh camp and his agent were talking to the Tennessee Titans, which, I mean, I don't know. What is that about? I mean, why would you put that out there now? But none of it matters because he is here and Rob Sala's down in Tennessee.
You know, if this were ā there are a couple coaches out there that I wouldn't trust. And, you know, I'm not going to mention their names. Josh McDaniels. I'm not going to mention any of their names. But I will say this, that John Harbaugh is not one of those coaches.
John Harbaugh, you know, 18 years down in Baltimore creating that culture along with Steve Bishotti and Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and ā You know, Joe Flacco at one point, then Lamar Jackson and everything else. You know, when he goes to league meetings and they go to league meetings, they are very highly thought of. They're respected.
And they, you know, everybody in the league knows each other, of course. That's where they find all these coaches. And one of the things that John Harbaugh did, I'm sure, is spoke to Brian Dayball. And Brian Dayball gave a glowing review of coaching here in New York and coaching for the Marin Tisch families. So, yeah.
There was no way going down the road as far as they went that something as little as, hey, I need to report to the owner was going to off track this thing. There was no way because right now, as we sit here, John Harbaugh has the power in the building. He is the number one alpha guy. He's the guy.

Chapter 2: Why is John Harbaugh considered a respected coach in the NFL?
Yeah, now, you don't have a problem with, I don't have a problem with, because it's John Harbaugh, the fact that he gets to report to ownership as well as Joe Shane, right? I mean, this is a unique situation.
It's a unique situation, and Joe Shane has got to show John Harbaugh that he can get him the players that he wants, and those players are going to turn into something. And quite frankly, I think John Mara's health probably had a little bit more to do with Joe Shane staying here than anything else.
And he wanted to have somebody in there, at least that he has built a relationship with, to try to find the right guy. And then I do think that Chris Mara getting down to Baltimore immediately and having lunch at John's house, I think that was a big part of this whole thing too. I don't want to underestimate that because Chris has kind of been an in-and-out guy.
you know what i mean yeah and i don't think that's going to be the case anymore i think chris uh is probably going to be even more involved than he's ever been i don't know people out there like that or they don't like it but you know now somebody's got to put the big boy pants on as john is going through what he's going through and lead this franchise and the best thing that they could have done is to bring in a guy with the reputation the respect and the winning that john harbaugh has done down in baltimore
So there was a couple of offensive coordinator positions that were open that were very enticing for people. One of those was the Detroit Lions. And we had thought maybe Brian Dable goes there. Maybe Mike McDaniel goes there. That's not what happened. Drew Petzing, the Cardinals' former offensive coordinator, goes there. And what I believe was a little bit of a shocker.
Now, he worked for Kevin Stefanski for a while in Cleveland and... in Minnesota, but was the offensive coordinator for 23, 24, 25, so three years for the Arizona Cardinals, and they hadn't done much. And now he's over there with the Lions and didn't really have a relationship or hadn't worked with the Lions coaching staff at all. It's an interesting one.
Yeah, it's a very interesting one, but that also tells me that Mike McDaniel probably said, thanks, but no thanks.
You know what I mean? And maybe Brian Dable's like, listen, I got to focus on this.
Trying to get this Buffalo job now.
