Rahimi Harrison-Grody, middays 10-2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score.

Leila Rahimi 0:12

That's right. It's time for Around the NFL here on Rahimi Harris and Brody on 670 to Score. And normally we do this after a slate of games on a weekend. And while the playoff games were exciting, we talked a little bit about what happened in the games on Saturday. The Bears ended the slate of games on Sunday night, as we know. And why we're doing this around the NFL? Because of the head coaching hires. Tennessee Titans now reportedly off the board. Robert Sala getting another chance to be a head coach after he was with the Jets. He is the current 49ers defensive coordinator. And that is the latest news per Ian Rappaport, Tom Pelissero, Mike Garofalo, and the crew at NFL Network. And we also had some welcome news, Marshall, when it came to the Detroit offensive coordinator position.

Unknown 1:04

Drew Petzing?

Leila Rahimi 1:05

Drew Petzing, not hired, Mike McDaniel.

Unknown 1:09

You were really concerned about that, huh?

Leila Rahimi 1:10

I was very worried. It just seemed like the perfect marriage of philosophy and risk-taking between Dan Campbell and Mike McDaniel.

Marshall Harris 1:18

And the reporting out there was that Dan Campbell, indeed, you were right, Layla, indeed was a fan of Mike McDaniel, but the organization overall just didn't want to go that direction.

Leila Rahimi 1:29

Which is messed up when you think about it. Because you know how I feel. I think I know what Dan Campbell's thinking. And you do too if you watch his facial expressions. He's not exactly a difficult card to read. But I feel like Dan Campbell very much... The marriage of like... They just match. They just do. It just makes sense. But they went with Drew Petzing. He was a former head coaching candidate. When the last cycle came around, he interviewed with the Bears. He's been the Cardinals OC for the past three seasons. And he is now headed to the Lions. So that's one piece of news in the NFC North, Marshall.

Unknown 2:08

I love that we are in this position where the Bears aren't concerned yet. Because, you know, I'm expecting people to be poached. We've already seen with Eric Biennemi.

Leila Rahimi 2:19

Yeah, if you miss that, multiple reports about Biennemi going to Kansas City.

Unknown 2:22

And I would not be surprised if either or and it could be an Antoine Randall-El situation.

Why did the Tennessee Titans hire Jeff Hafley as head coach?

Unknown 2:29

It could be, obviously, an Al Harris situation. When you look at the successful... units on the team the reason the bears were winning obviously b enemy is a great example of that although him being reunited with andy reed is probably gonna be a little different than whether one of those coaches leaves but to see how the whole division is coming together and to see the chaos out there right now again mvps active mvps with no head coaches

Leila Rahimi 2:56

Yeah, that's the best way of putting it, because that's not something we're used to, even in the most aggressive and high percentage NFL coaching cycles where like a third of the league is available.

Unknown 3:09

You know who we are right now? You know the meme of the people looking down at the peasants? The Hunger Games? No, no. Isn't that a Hunger Games meme? No, it's like an old school meme from colonial times or whatever. And it's like the old rich people looking down upon peasants. We're very comfortable right now watching the fray down there. We're above the fray. That's where we are.

Leila Rahimi 3:32

Or we're like Kermit sipping the tea, but that's none of our business.

Unknown 3:36

I mean, it is none of our business, but yeah, we still like to pay attention.

Leila Rahimi 3:40

We do. And in fact... Some sad news to report in the NFC North. Isn't it, isn't it so tragic and sad and disappointing that Jeff Halfley has left the division. The lions have hired Jeff Halfley. He told everybody he was going to see them next week. Did he really just mean Miami?

Marshall Harris 4:09

Hmm. That's a great question.

Leila Rahimi 4:11

Wait, what did I say earlier?

Marshall Harris 4:13

You said the Lions, but it's okay.

Leila Rahimi 4:14

Oh, no, I said the Lions? That's just me still thinking about Mike McDaniel.

Marshall Harris 4:17

Thank God for no Mike McDaniel.

Leila Rahimi 4:19

I am terrified of that.
