Hour 3 - Coaching Hunts End, Vikings GM Fired, Joe Brady Says Sorry

02 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 23.793 Boomer Esiason

It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live for the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. All right, now that all 10 head coaches have been hired for the spots that were open, how many did we get right? That's a good question. I don't know if I kept that thing. I know that CBS Sports Network had that graphic.

0

24.554 - 39.367 Boomer Esiason

We definitely got at least four of them right. But there was also times where we made an adjustment because we first did the list when the Steelers had not or Mike Tomlin had not decided to leave. So we did it early.

0

Chapter 2: What changes occurred in the NFL coaching landscape recently?

39.427 - 58.473 Boomer Esiason

But I do think we got Harbaugh right. We got Minter right. Stefanski. We got Stefanski right. Let's see. What do we got here? Oh, here you go. Wow. These are the new coaches. So I feel like I've been talking about Clint Kubiak and the Raiders for the last two weeks. Yeah.

0

58.493 - 71.045 Boomer Esiason

Especially with Tom Brady doing their NFC championship game and watching them kind of just go right through the Rams offensively. I don't think I have it. Well, maybe this is it. This is it. No.

0

71.466 - 72.227 Unknown

No, you don't have it?

0

72.287 - 91.972 Boomer Esiason

This is funny. Okay. You're looking in your garbage pail? No, I'm looking in my bag of nothing. Oh, okay. You know what this is here? This is actually... So when the last day of the Sportsman is, Flegelman printed out for me the original DJ Uyunglele.

0

92.312 - 92.833 Unknown

Oh, he did.

92.913 - 111.477 Boomer Esiason

Oh, that's nice. For posterity. Working behind my back. I like it. He said, I figured you'd like this. They definitely had it. CBS Sports Network definitely had a graphic of what we guessed, I think. But we got a bunch of them. I don't know. Interesting. Mike LaFleur, who couldn't make it here as an offensive coordinator, goes out to the L.A.

111.497 - 131.731 Boomer Esiason

Rams, becomes their offensive coordinator or passing game coordinator, whatever it was. And now he finds himself as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. And, you know, you think about Rob Sala, his second time around, he gets a job this cycle. I mean, a lot of people that come through here, the question is, I wonder if Joe Douglas is going to get the GM job down in Atlanta.

131.751 - 154.174 Boomer Esiason

I know he did interview for that, and I don't think there's been any announcement regarding the GM. And then, of course, your Vikings fired the GM on Friday. Yeah, and I had heard that he had been sort of falling out of favor there recently. But they, I guess, took a very, very long time to make the decision about this.

154.314 - 181.252 Boomer Esiason

And I think a lot of it had to do with Sam Darnold actually making it to the Super Bowl. Because in reading all of this stuff, and this makes total sense... When you're the general manager who drafts a kid number 10 overall, you are attached to that guy. You believe in that guy. By the way, let me just say one thing real quickly. I know what you're going to say already, but go ahead.

Chapter 3: How did Sam Darnold's Super Bowl run affect the Vikings' GM firing?

447.447 - 449.23 Boomer Esiason

I'm assuming the Schaefer goal.

0

449.378 - 456.635 Guy Adami

That would be a good assumption by you. But as you know, when you make assumptions, what you do. So no is the answer.

0

456.855 - 459.742 Boomer Esiason

Okay, so who got the biggest applause?

0

460.103 - 470.208 Guy Adami

Well, it's funny. You're familiar with this being a denizen of Madison Square Garden. But they put... famous people up on the Jumbotron. Okay.

0

471.169 - 471.55 Boomer Esiason

You can't say that.

Chapter 4: What controversial decision led to the Vikings' GM being fired?

471.57 - 474.655 Boomer Esiason

You can't say badass. You know that.

0

474.935 - 493.807 Guy Adami

No, but I'm excited. I'm excited. It was unbelievable. Gio in his jersey. The crowd goes wild. It was fantastic. I just wanted to let you know that although you are the man at Madison Square Garden, it is clear that that Greg Giannotti is now the man at the UBS Arena.

0

493.827 - 508.98 Boomer Esiason

You know what? That makes me feel good. Yeah, I appreciate that, Guy. I know you always have my back. I didn't know you were there. I would have invited you up for a chicken finger and a slider. Me and Sean, look at that. They were able to get it on CBS Sports Network.

0

509.441 - 527.388 Guy Adami

It was tremendous. It was tremendous. John, I'm going to tell you something that you're not going to be happy with, though. About third period, I was handed a jersey, an Islander jersey, the actual jersey, number 18 jersey with my name on the back.

0

529.431 - 535.621 Boomer Esiason

What are you going to do with that? People don't know you're a big Rangers fan, so what are you going to do with that jersey? By the way, what are you doing at that game?

536.001 - 561.762 Guy Adami

I'm not going to put – I was there at the bequest of a friend, a mutual friend that I think you know. part of the ownership package of the Islanders, an ex-Wall Street guy, so we had a lot of fun. But I'm not going to put it into the freezer because there's nothing to freeze as our team has been frozen already. I think I'm going to give it to one of my children. I think that's fair.

562.563 - 565.667 Boomer Esiason

Either that or give it to somebody you know that is an Islander fan.

565.833 - 583.963 Guy Adami

Yeah, but it's my name on the back. I mean, what the hell are they going to do? They don't know. Nobody knows. It's a free jersey. Anyway, and I'll just say this. I know, hopefully I'll speak to you prior to his departure. But the great Eddie Scazzeri, I don't know if you retire numbers there or what you do, but you should do something for Eddie. I'm sure you have it all planned out now.

584.063 - 587.007 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, we got a closet we're going to name after him. That's what they do around here.

Chapter 5: How does paternity leave play into the Vikings' management decisions?

933.455 - 953.247 Boomer Esiason

Steve Tisch of anything other than being a part of those emails. In other words, there's not a third party that's claiming that they were abused by the owner of the New York Giants. And Bob Kraft did not receive direct individual punishment from the NFL regarding the 2019 solicitation of prostitution charges in Florida.

0

954.409 - 983.709 Boomer Esiason

And the charges, I believe, prosecutors dropped charge against Patriot's owner. So after the court's blocked use of video. So nothing did come of that there. I mean, it's just going to be a long week for Roger Goodell. Yeah. For a number of reasons, this being one of them. And there's a big difference. Like Steve Tisch now, I mean, his reputation is completely shot.

0

984.69 - 1008.475 Boomer Esiason

People are going to look at him as a total creep, as they should. But there's different conversations about it. And if you're talking about should he sell, will the NFL punish him? Are they going to come and arrest him? In those conversations, the evidence that we have seen through the emails that have been released, I don't know if they can do anything. I really don't.

0

1008.635 - 1027.101 Boomer Esiason

And I think there's – I was just talking to Evan about this, and he reminded me of, you know, with the Dan Snyder thing. It's like if you get like a two-thirds vote from the other owners to like oust a guy, you can do that. I mean, I don't know if they're going to put this up for a vote. There are bylaws within the ownership agreements, yes.

0

1027.902 - 1044.579 Boomer Esiason

So, I mean, that's a way if they end up putting that up for a vote, but I'm not sure – I don't know. It's such a... It's just everybody needs to... When they talk about these things, I understand how worked up and emotional everybody is because of the subject matter. But there's two different conversations.

1045.219 - 1064.057 Boomer Esiason

And when you conflate those things, it's difficult for people to understand because they are all worked up about it. But no one is saying that Steve Tisch should be scot-free from any of this. It's a horrible, horrible look. And it makes the Giants... Look bad. Looks him look bad. Looks everybody look bad.

1064.658 - 1087.434 Boomer Esiason

But when you're talking about getting arrested, being accused, committing a crime, being convicted of that crime, being in a situation where so many things have happened, where there's evidence to back it up that he has to sell or is being forced to sell or gets thrown out of the league. There's not, in my opinion, enough there for going at this point for those things to happen. That's all.

1087.995 - 1096.09 Boomer Esiason

It's tawdry emails that are embarrassing. Tawdry. Tawdry. Let's go to Mike and Jackson. What's going on, Mike?

1096.11 - 1107.912 James

Hey, guys. Good morning. Good morning. Boomer, you're saying next year's Super Bowl is going to be President's Weekend. It's going to be good for everybody. Next year, Super Bowl Sunday. Sunday, February 14th.

Chapter 6: What insights does Guy Adami provide about the Islanders game?

1239.25 - 1260.113 Boomer Esiason

All right, stop. Boomer and Geo on the fan in CBS Sports Network. I don't know. All right, good. Stop. Stop yourself, freak. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo on the fan in CBS Sports Network. We got CeeLo back with us. And he's got another update. What's going on, CeeLo?

0

1260.133 - 1277.967 C-Lo

Hi there. Sponsored by Chef IQ. Precision cooking. Effortless results. ChefIQ.com. We had the debut of Sunday Night Basketball for NBC. Somewhat mirroring their Sunday Night Football package, which included Mike Tirico on the call for Knicks-Lakers last night at the Garden.

1277.987 - 1279.53 Boomer Esiason

Polik to the basket. Oh, the ball sink by Polik. The find of heart for three.

0

1282.092 - 1287.078 Unknown

Kolek handled the pressure by Marcus Smart. Get it up the court. He won that battle.

0

1287.098 - 1303.558 C-Lo

That's Tariqo and Jamal Crawford there. You got Reggie Miller as part of this crew as well. The Knick fan always hates that. I saw one. That's Andrew Claudio. He's one of these big Knick guys. 13,000 followers out there who I thought had a great tweet. If Peacock created a subscription tier that solely muted Reggie's mic, there's no price I wouldn't pay.

1303.818 - 1309.379 C-Lo

And I'd imagine a lot of Knick fans would probably agree with that. That heart three early fourth quarter.

1309.4 - 1331.928 Boomer Esiason

By the way, where was Ben Stiller in the Jerome James days? You know? Where was he? The guy's old enough, right? That's a good question. Was he around cheering on Mike Sweetney? Like, where was he? Come on, man. Does he have a Pablo Pergione jersey? This is Sunday night. LeBron's in the house. Come on, man. I mean, was he there when Steve Francis had his little cup of coffee with the Knicks?

1331.968 - 1333.649 Boomer Esiason

Probably not, right? Marbury.

1333.689 - 1334.89 C-Lo

Yeah.
