The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks. Bye.

Rahimi Harrison 0:24

Rahimi, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 0:29

Ranking the NFL's 10 best head coaches entering the 2026 season from PFF. And you know, they do mix it up on opinions. They do mix it up on rankings. But this, even for them, raises some eyebrows.

Marshall Harris 0:41

It's going to raise eyebrows.

Vinny Rotino 0:42

Number one is Sean McVay from the Rams.

Marshall Harris 0:44

We're good with that?

Vinny Rotino 0:45

We're good with that. We're good with that. Especially since his offense is the Ben Johnson offense is the Spider-Man meme.

Mark Grote 0:51

We're good like that? We're good like that.

Vinny Rotino 0:53

Andy Reid from the Kansas City Chiefs is number two. Any debate there?

Mark Grote 0:57

We're cool like that? We're cool like that.

Vinny Rotino 0:59

Kyle Shanahan is number three.

How did hosts react to PFF's top 10 NFL coaches list and spark the show's opening debate?

Mark Grote 1:01

He's pretty good. I still don't have an issue.

Vinny Rotino 1:04

Number four is Mike McDonald from the Seahawks. Okay, here's the curveball.

Mark Grote 1:08

Here we go.

Vinny Rotino 1:08

Dan Campbell is number five. What? Matt LaFleur is number six. Hell no. D'Amico Ryans is number seven. Sean Payton is number eight. Mike Vrabel, number nine.

Jeff (caller) / Jeff in Kalamazoo 1:20

Verbal. That's a private and personal matter.

Vinny Rotino 1:22

And Jim Harbaugh is number ten.

1:24

Shh.

Jeff (caller) / Jeff in Kalamazoo 1:25

The heart of an athlete is a direct quote from my cardiologist.

Vinny Rotino 1:29

Matt LaFleur at number six, that was a coaching collapse. Like we talk about the win for the Bears getting to face the Rams in the divisional, but that was a collapse and coaching had a massive hand in that.

Mark Grote 1:42

Just looking at the blurb that was written here.

Vinny Rotino 1:45

What is the explanation?

Mark Grote 1:47

Let me read the explanation here. Here's what he writes about Matt LeFleur. In his seven seasons with Green Bay, LeFleur has posted a tremendous 76-40-1 clip, including making six trips to the playoffs.

Vinny Rotino 2:03

How about that last trip, though?

Mark Grote 2:04

Yeah, remember that.

Marshall Harris 2:07

Well, you'll like this, especially the first sentence of the final graph here on Matt LaFleur being number six.

Mark Grote 2:24

It's true that LaFleur hasn't realized amazing playoff success of late, Bears. Losing his last three contests, Bears. and securing his last victory during the 2023 season after starting with consecutive conference title game berths. In particular, last year's blown lead to the Bears in a wildcard round defeat spurred job security talks it did. Those seemed a little brash for a consensus good coach, but clearing that late January hurdle would vault LeFleur into a higher stratosphere, and he should have the talent to make a strong attempt again this season.

Tom in Edison Park 3:01

Cramming up your cram hole, LeFleur. I'm thinking I'm the best coach in America.

Rahimi Harrison 3:05

Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 3:17

I definitely think he's a better coach, and last check, deserving of the top 10 than Dan Campbell. Hmm. What have you done for me lately in the NFL seems to matter the most.

Marshall Harris 3:30

I don't know. Head-to-head's got to count for something, doesn't it?

Vinny Rotino 3:32

Well, one of them made the playoffs. The other one didn't. I hear you. And the head coach, who is the OC, made the playoffs the both times. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. We are happy to join you on this Monday. It is the Monday of the All-Star break. And I don't know about you, but I feel better about both the Cubs and the White Sox, especially after this weekend. Maybe if you go back two weeks ago, I think things are better. We want to know what you think as well. We'll take your calls in our 1045 segment. 312-644-6767 is our number. And as we are at the break and we expect Tuesday's Midsummer Classic to always be a celebration of baseball, it is a celebration of the talent that we have.

Vinny Rotino 4:21

We saw two more White Sox make the All-Star Game in the Home Run Derby. And I think we found out one of them in a graphic that was accidentally posted early on the south side of Munataka Murakami for the Home Run Derby.
