23 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What recent changes were reported about Ronnie Barnes' role?

0.031 - 15.103 Boomer

I saw yesterday that Ian Rappaport said that Ronnie Barnes was no longer going to be the head athletic trainer. So we had a conversation about that. People from within the organization wanted to make sure that the information was totally correct, which we appreciate.

15.083 - 29.017 Gio

Yeah, yeah. So I'll read you the text that they sent out to all the writers yesterday in regards to this story that was reported, and that's what we were discussing this morning, how John Harbaugh is going to want some of his people in very important positions. Yeah. And there's nothing wrong with that.

29.057 - 52.579 Gio

That happens across the NFL every single year and every time there's a coaching change or a general manager change. So FYI regarding Ronnie Barnes, his role is not changing. Same title. He has the same title. Whatever that title is right now, Ronnie Barnes. It's Ronnie Barnes. Same title. His role is not changing. Still oversees our medical services. The only change. So there is a change.

0

52.619 - 74.158 Gio

There's something happening. Nothing's changing, but the only change. But the only change. Gotcha. So the only change expected in the training room will be hiring a new head trainer under... Ronnie Barnes. Oh, okay. So Ronnie's still there. He's still part of the organization, but they're bringing in a new head trainer. Okay. But Ronnie's handling the medical services.

74.539 - 81.348 Boomer

Okay. So it seems like his role is shifting, and maybe the responsibilities aren't going to be as great, or who knows.

81.948 - 101.957 Gio

So John Harbaugh probably wants somebody that he knows and that he's comfortable working with and may have been an assistant with the Ravens or somewhere along the line. The Harbaugh tree is all over the place. I mean, guys all over the Minter now is taking a Ravens job who was under John Harbaugh and with Jim Harbaugh. That's right. So now he's going to the Ravens. Harbaugh, Harbaugh, Harbaugh.

101.978 - 107.547 Gio

It's like a Harbaugh tree. Harbaugh's everywhere. Yeah. Well, he comes from the Andy Reid tree, right, John Harbaugh?

108.228 - 114.598 Boomer

Yes, he does. Yeah. Uh-huh. And Andy Reid comes from the Mike Holmgren tree.

116.3 - 139.371 Boomer

nah yeah he does he recreated the kansas city model he did he absolutely did so all those things are true and everything we told you about ronnie barnes is also now now true after we uh clarified all of that so there was a change and i guess he does not have a an office next to schmelke did we uh that is not i didn't ask whether or not you want me to ask that

Chapter 2: How does John Harbaugh's coaching style influence team dynamics?

161.39 - 185.086 Boomer

I mean, I think what happened here is that Ronnie Barnes is a very well-respected person, and rightfully so, in that organization, and I think they're making some changes to what is going on, and they're softly saying that he's no longer going to be in charge of that type of stuff, but someone's working under him. Maybe that's what's going on. I don't know. I have no idea.

0

186.027 - 190.073 Boomer

I mean, John Harbaugh's going in there. He's cleaning house.

0

190.093 - 204.86 Gio

Wow. I mean, look, he wants the control of things that he can control. And very few times does a head coach have the opportunity to really do that unless you have the resume and reputation of a John Harbaugh. Let's put it that way. Yeah, of course.

0

205.721 - 212.99 Boomer

That he's earned that right. Earned the right. He has earned that right. And that's something that John Harbaugh said himself.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of hiring a new head trainer for the Giants?

213.571 - 226.784 Boomer

We got to earn the right to build this team the way it needs to be built. Andrenik in New Jersey. Good morning. What's happening?

0

227.765 - 234.615 Unknown

Hey, how are you? So the question is, how about if he doesn't do as well, like next year coming up or the following year?

0

234.695 - 235.857 Boomer

Who's that, John Harbaugh?

0

236.598 - 241.225 Unknown

Yeah, yeah, the Giants coach. What do you think? I just want to get your opinions on it.

0

241.805 - 248.535 Gio

Why would you ask that question? I mean, we're just like three days into him being hired, and we're already talking about firing him today.

249.41 - 256.399 Unknown

Not fire him. Like, for example, you know, like some coaches come in and they do, you know, the beginnings. They don't do as well.

257.4 - 270.777 Gio

Well, he's going to do well. He's got the quarterback. So he's got that question answered. He's going to do well. I'm telling you, he will do well. They will do well. He will bring the hardball winning attitude with him. And that just stems from his dad.

271.313 - 287.011 Boomer

Yeah, I mean, and he also is getting $20 million a year for five years, and they're going to see this out. And I really think, I mean, I am fully confident that they are going to have a winning record next year. I really, truly believe that. If nobody goes down.

287.852 - 289.595 Gio

But you never know. I mean, you can say that about every team.
