14 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the potential reasons John Harbaugh might not take the Giants job?

0.031 - 22.135 Unknown

Another offensive coordinator that was fired yesterday was Greg Roman, who was rumored to be on the hot seat there with the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh and the miserable offensive performance they had. And I know that you have talked about how bad the offensive line was.

0

36.845 - 44.148 Gio

Oh, my God. I mean, like... It was horrendous. And it was horrendous because they lost their stud tackles.

44.508 - 44.769 Boomer

Yeah.

44.789 - 63.148 Gio

It'd be like the Jets losing Membu and Fashino. If you lost both of those guys, you'd be screwed. And that's exactly what happened to the Chargers. And they kept trying to figure it out and fix it. And you remember, Makai Beckton's in the middle of this whole thing, too. And Makai won a Super Bowl, and he was with a great offensive line. He had a great center.

Chapter 2: How has the performance of the Chargers' offensive line impacted coaching decisions?

63.168 - 82.989 Gio

He had a great tackle to his right. And they were able to help him and protect him. There were situations in this game against New England where Makai did nothing. And the outside tackles just got bum-rushed and rolled over and spun around. And it was literally a turnstile. And poor Justin Herbert was getting his ass kicked.

83.69 - 87.593 Gio

So let's fire the offensive coordinator because we lost half of our offensive line. That's a good idea.

0

87.613 - 93.298 Boomer

Well, wherever John Harbaugh ends up, does Greg Roman go there with him because of the history that those two have in Baltimore?

93.559 - 113.77 Gio

I would say the most important question that I would have for John Harbaugh if I were the Giants would be, who is your offensive coordinator and what system is he running? I need to know that. I need to know exactly what you're going to try to do with this quarterback. And how do you see him? Give me a comparison. I'm not giving the comparison now.

0

113.87 - 123.61 Gio

I want John Harbaugh to say all these different things in regards to our offense, our quarterback, how to get the most out of our quarterback, what's the best system for him.

123.995 - 136.232 Boomer

Yeah, but they've made up their mind that they want John Harbaugh. So, I mean, they're not going to ask him a question about the offensive system and he's going to give them an answer that's going to make them want to hire somebody else. I mean, they are all in on John Harbaugh.

136.632 - 144.983 Boomer

What the question is going to be is, I guess, tell us what type of offense that you're envisioning and the offense that we're going to run once you're the head coach.

145.224 - 166.287 Gio

I'd be like, you know what, I'm going to try to run the Minnesota offense. I'm going to try to run... The Miami Dolphin offense under Mike McDaniel when it was flying. I'm going to try to run the Shanahan offense, the Clint Kubiak offense. I mean, the Clint Kubiak offense seems to be the offense that, you know, most quarterbacks can flourish under. And it really does start with the run first.

166.367 - 184.899 Gio

And you are a Northeast team. And I always tell you this. When you run, you know this as a former offensive lineman yourself. Mm-hmm. When you are a running football team, first and foremost, that makes your team automatically a physical football team. Now, every team's physical. Some teams are a little bit more finesse because of the way they play.

Chapter 3: What questions should the Giants ask John Harbaugh regarding his offensive strategy?

356.922 - 374.027 Boomer

They need credibility. They need to stop this hamster wheel of turds with these offensive coordinators that don't work out. They need to be the New York Giants again. This man is available. It's the perfect guy at the perfect time. And you would absolutely take the problems that the Ravens have had.

374.427 - 392.586 Boomer

And, you know, maybe John Harbaugh gets him to a certain level and he's 68, 69 years old, says all right, and then someone else comes in. We've talked about this before. It's kind of like a Tom Thibodeau. Mike Brown situation. We don't know how it's going to work out with Mike Brown, but the Knicks needed Tibbs at that time.

0

392.606 - 400.236 Gio

They needed him in the worst way to bring some sort of credibility to the team. Right. And Leon Rose saw that, and that's exactly what Leon Rose did.

0

400.316 - 413.993 Boomer

And Tibbs had all these things that people didn't like about him. He's a control freak, and he runs the guys into the ground, and he can't relate to today's players, all this nonsense. And he did an amazing job here, and he took them to a point where the Knicks were like, okay, that's as far as he could take them. And this is where the Giants are.

0

414.013 - 421.588 Gio

Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, we did say that last week, and then all of a sudden that Miami job mysteriously opened.
