Hour 3 - McVay's Assistants As HC Candidates, Maybe McCarthy To Steelers

19 Jan 2026

Transcription

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

0.031 - 27.35 Unknown

It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Sean McVay back in the championship game. Of course, all of his assistants getting interviews for jobs, as you've seen many of them go other places. Kevin O'Connell, Brandon Staley are two of the ones that pop right off the top of my head.

27.37 - 47.41 Unknown

And then, of course, you had Mike LaFleur, who was here as the Jets offensive coordinator, and now he's there as the Rams offensive coordinator. But I'm seeing the passing game coordinator, Nate Sheilhaus, getting more interviews than Mike LaFleur is getting. And then his defensive coordinator, Chris Shula, is getting a ton of interviews as well.

Chapter 2: What are Sean McVay's assistants' prospects for head coaching positions?

47.77 - 51.657 Unknown

And you want to talk about building your own tree. Sean McVay is certainly doing that.

0

52.358 - 77.955 Gio

Yes, he is. And I would think that Chris Shula and Clint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, I feel like both of those guys are going to get jobs. I really do. I hope that they both end up in places where they don't have to go through a rebuild. The Arizona job is radioactive. I don't know how anybody takes that job unless they give him a six-year deal.

0

77.975 - 90.008 Gio

You remember how Matt Rule got that huge deal from the Carolina Panthers to go there? Yeah, that's right. I mean, that's the kind of situation that Arizona is in right now. And think about who is in their division. They've got Seattle, San Francisco, and the Rams.

0

90.969 - 103.022 Gio

And when you take that job, you know that that's going to be at least two years of losing, especially if you don't have a quarterback that you believe in. And I would think that they're going to probably move on from Kyler Murray. I don't know, but it sounds like it.

0

103.508 - 124.033 Gio

Maybe whoever the new coach is wants Kyler Murray in there just simply because he's a veteran presence and at least he can make plays with his legs. But I would think that those two coordinators are definitely going to get jobs. I also kind of feel like maybe Mike McCarthy is going to get a job. Where's that going to be, though? Let me ask you this question. Yeah?

124.293 - 134.862 Gio

And again, it's just a question. Would Mike McCarthy take the Pittsburgh Steeler job, and would Aaron Rodgers come back one more year and put those two together in Pittsburgh?

135.203 - 145.472 Unknown

I mean, Mike McCarthy would, wherever he is, walk to Pittsburgh and take that job. He's a Pittsburgh guy. He would love to have that opportunity to coach that team.

145.532 - 147.454 Gio

It goes against everything that the Roonies would do.

147.474 - 159.667 Unknown

Well, this is what I'm saying, though. There's no way that... I don't really remember the last time Aaron Rodgers talked about Mike McCarthy and if it was positive or not, but no, I don't believe.

Chapter 3: Could Mike McCarthy join Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh?

467.472 - 473.802 Gio

You would like to think you're going to see a ton this week because a number of these teams have done at least 10 interviews.

0

474.162 - 479.291 Unknown

Yeah. Browns being one, the Dolphins being another, the Ravens have done a ton.

0

479.952 - 492.031 Gio

I think the Browns are the Cardinals. And I know it's one of 32, and it's a great job, and it pays a lot of money. man, but you want to take a job that way you can have success like what Ben Johnson did, what Mike Rabel did.

0

492.712 - 514.361 Unknown

Yeah, I mean, basically you'd be taking that job because no other team is offering you a job and you get a guaranteed contract for probably five years and millions of dollars and you're going to get paid that money no matter what. I mean, that's basically why you get one of those jobs and you think, hey, hell, if I end up If I end up doing well here, this will be the greatest thing ever.

0

514.402 - 531.529 Unknown

And if I fail, I'll get a coordinator job again, and I'll get paid guaranteed money for five years and a head coach salary. That's why you take the job. I mean, if you're someone who is like a young coordinator who thinks that they're probably not going to maybe get another opportunity, strike while the iron's hot, if you will.

531.509 - 544.53 Unknown

All right, the Red Pocket Mobile fan line is brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile, 888-808-1019. Get back to the calls right now with Calvin in Washington Heights. What's going on, Calvin?

545.451 - 568.549 Calvin

Good morning, guys. You guys were talking about the Mets. Actually, the philosophy that they have going on has changed, and I kind of like it. It's going to be less power, but if you see the guys that get on base, get the people like Toronto Blue Jays did, a lot of contact. Toronto was able to go to the World Series putting the ball in play instead of the launch system.

568.569 - 583.791 Calvin

I actually called in last week, 30 minutes before the announcement was made, and I said the contract of Bichette, and I said $123 million. I was wrong by $1 million per year. But I think that, and I said $126 million for three, but I think that if they sign a guy like Luis Arias,

584.024 - 597.107 Calvin

and put him as a designated hitter, and you put him in front of Juan Soto, and you put Bichette protecting Juan Soto, everyone that plays behind Juan Soto has their best season. Alonzo had his best season because Soto was getting on base so much, so he put so many runs back in.

Chapter 4: What challenges do new head coaches face in the NFL?

749.765 - 755.533 Unknown

So if Bo Bichette has his best year offensively behind Juan Soto, we can opt out and then make $50 million a year, right?

0

755.553 - 757.636 Gio

Hey, just win this year. That's all you want.

0

758.518 - 769.534 Unknown

Yeah. That's all we're concerned about right now, right? Wouldn't you say? Well, especially because there's going to be no baseball in 2027. Sure, this is what we're concerned about. And, you know, is...

0

770.24 - 776.648 Gio

I think, obviously, the jury is still out in terms of Francisco Alvarez.

0

777.209 - 777.569 Unknown

Oh, yeah.

777.789 - 779.231 Gio

I know. Been disappointing.

780.012 - 798.795 Unknown

Flashes. Not enough. You feel like it's Gary Sanchez all over again? I don't want to say that because I felt like Gary Sanchez wasn't putting everything into it. We talked about him losing focus and not running out ground balls and things like that. Alvarez isn't that guy. If anything, Alvarez tries too hard.

799.687 - 820.809 Unknown

Where he's so fired up and he's grounding the bat into dust because he's gripping it so tight. That's who Francisco Alvarez is. Whereas Gary Sanchez was sort of just like lumbering through his tenure as a New York Yankee. He wouldn't block any balls, stuff like that. And Alvarez has had injuries. It's been another big problem.

821.169 - 845.036 Unknown

Every year he's been hurt for a significant amount of time, and then he comes back. It takes him forever to get back going again. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, I'm Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. We got Peter Schwartz with us. He's got sports updates today and tomorrow. Peter. Hello, Peter. How are you, sir?

Chapter 5: How do the Mets plan to reshape their roster?

1555.738 - 1567.32 Unknown

I mean, it's probably aggravated by weight, but even when I was thinner, from a kid, I always snorted some sort of a... Malformed sinus situation. Malformity in the sinus.

0

1567.48 - 1576.196 Peter Schwartz

They did tell me years ago that if I lost a significant amount of weight that there would be a procedure that I could undergo that might be able to correct it where I would not have to have the machine anymore.

0

1576.657 - 1579.622 Gio

Deviated septum or something like that?

0

1579.642 - 1583.449 Peter Schwartz

Something like that, yeah. But we're not even close to...

0

1583.851 - 1593.967 Unknown

You think about trying those peptides or those GLP-1s and the Ozepic and the Moonjaro and all that stuff? You think about doing that? It's been recommended. Yeah.

1594.328 - 1596.311 Peter Schwartz

It's been recommended. I can't see.

1596.611 - 1603.081 Gio

I swear to God, I cannot see you as a thin person. I just can't. But come on. Your head would be enormous.

1603.101 - 1624.573 Peter Schwartz

There was a point where I lost 100 pounds. And we went down to Florida to visit my mom. And she looked at me, and she's like, you're sick. And I'm like, what's wrong with you? Like, you're not eating? And then we went out to a deli for lunch, and all I got was a sandwich. Now, usually I would have sandwiches and French fries with it.

1624.593 - 1630.564 Peter Schwartz

And my mother was getting upset that I didn't order the French fries with the sandwich. What would they do with all the extra skin?

Chapter 6: What strategies are discussed for improving team performance?

1847.944 - 1857.752 Gio

Maybe Mike McCarthy would get it just because he's been with the Cowboys and the Packers. He's not going to get an offer for the NFL. He's just not. And as he told you, he's a college guy.

0

1857.968 - 1863.616 Peter Schwartz

Yeah. He's had a ton of success. And as you heard in the first part of that, he could have been a Packers assistant coach.

0

1863.656 - 1877.395 Gio

I think Darryl Bevel got the job to end up taking the job. I declined the opportunity. I almost took it. That's when I made the final decision. Yeah, and I've always been more of a college football guy.

0

1877.56 - 1887.775 Unknown

Yep, that is a Pittsburgher right there. Job. Darryl Bevel got that job. All right, Peter, good stuff. We will see you next hour.

0

1887.835 - 1889.477 Peter Schwartz

This update brought to you by WebMD.

1889.617 - 1895.586 Unknown

Yeah, well, why not? You were just going to give us the same stuff over again, right? It was just to say you, the fat king.

1895.606 - 1902.797 Peter Schwartz

Mix things up a little bit, yeah. There was going to be a meeting. We don't see you enough. We've got to get to the bottom of these.

1902.817 - 1906.182 Gio

We've got to get to everything. It's all about Peter Schultz.

1908.265 - 1912.21 Boomer

It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.
