What are the main storylines surrounding the Bears-Packers playoff showdown?
You know what? That statement gets more and more true about us as a whole every single day.
That we can't handle the truth? Yeah. It's been that way for a while now.
Yeah, but when you hear it like that, thanks to Tyler Beterbaugh's open, really puts it all in perspective there, doesn't it? This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. And this is a day that we are lucky. As Bears fans, we don't have to deal with when it comes to trying to figure out who the head coach is here. So now we just get to sit back and watch the chaos. Just put your feet up. Put your head, you know, tilt it back in your hands a little bit. Not Saranda Cobra style, but, you know, more like relaxing style.
Goes back to one of the big truths in life. Everyone loves drama. But you know what they really love? Other people's drama.
Yeah, everyone loves drama when it's not yours. And for those of you who like it when it's yours, what's your heart rate like every day?
Toxic.
Yeah. What's happening there?
Right.
When there's drama, look for trauma, as they say. And that's kind of the case here on a lighter note when it comes to the game changer that is John Harbaugh's firing in the NFL after 18 years. 18 years.
What?
The Ravens had him locked up for 18 years. And now a changing of the guard. And I think what we knew at some point would come to an end because all of them do in the NFL. You know, there was a weird symmetry watching the Ravens and the Steelers game on Sunday night. But it's knowing now that... Not only does this become the game changer for coaching in the league when it comes to the current head coaching jobs that are open, but that he's such a big name, it could affect playoff teams. This coaching cycle is far from over. It is far from decided. I don't know that we have all the names yet, and it's crazy to think about. But when you consider, for example, two-time head coach of the year, Kevin Stefanski is out.
When you see what happened... with other teams that have decided to go whole hog and just get rid of their GM and their head coach like Raheem Morris and what happened in Atlanta. This is not just a situation. Yeah, Pete Carroll. If you had told me at this time last year that Pete Carroll would get the Raiders job and then can you say be fired? But you know the results and what happened. He's no longer with that team. So many unlikely scenarios happened here. The Arizona head coaching scenario is not unlikely. That was pretty likely. but others. This is a game changer, and it reminded me of what happened when Craig Council became available, where you thought David Ross would be okay even though the team didn't make the playoffs until Jed Hoyer let him know that it wasn't.
Next thing you know, Craig is now here, and I feel like we could have some sort of John Harbaugh-Craig Council mirroring scenario in the NFL with somebody you thought was a really good head coach or at least was doing what he could to save his job, and the game has now changed.
I don't know that it's quite to that level because the difference is obviously everyone was surprised that both on the Cubs side and the Brewers side, obviously with the way that this has ended in Baltimore, no one's going to be surprised. But everybody's wondering who exactly is going to scoop him up because the belief is he's not taking a season off. He's not going to a television network. He will be coaching somewhere next year for an NFL team. And it's like this game of musical chairs. And if you are a head coach right now with a job, by the way, you might be making sure that that chair is still there after wildcard weekend goes away.
Well, and that's it. Let's go through it because, you know, when your standard is the Super Bowl for some of these teams, when your standard is making the playoffs for others like it is in the AFC for John Harbaugh and Baltimore, that's when this all gets changed. And that's why I think it is very reasonable to now say, number one, he's the top name in the head coaching category. cycle number two are there other teams that have head coaching positions that are currently filled that might not be later number three are some of those teams playoff teams and that's where this goes for me number four is trying to figure out how to process what just happened because the reports about the relationship being strained between john harbaugh and lamar jackson
