This is the best of the herd with Colin Cowherr on Fox Sports Radio.

Ah, Tuesday we're live in Los Angeles. This is the herd wherever you may be and however you may be listening.

Fox Sports Radio I heart radio right here on FS1. One hour from now, one of my last herd hierarchies of the year, eight teams left will rank them one through eight.

Alabama will not make a list although they were impressive last night. Joel Platts stops by this hour.

Joy Taylor is joining me. Joy. How are you? I'm great. Congrats. Alabama Nick Saban.

It's fun watching about three quarters of fun. Oh, well, yeah. Yeah, but I enjoyed watching some future NFL stars last night.

A lot of them. Most of Malibu. I'm very excited for Don Vante Smith. Yeah, welcome to Miami if they don't make moves to it.

So I was thinking yesterday during our show, the news broke that the Philadelphia Eagles had fired Doug Peterson.

And one of the things I love about the NFL and you really don't see this in any other league, you can be awful, but you're not awful for wrong.

If you get a quarter back or a coach in baseball, you can get tied to awful contracts in the NBA. You can't find a star.

You're saddled with bad contracts, but in the NFL, you can cut guys. You don't have to be bad more than maybe a year.

You can get out of it. Right coach, right coordinator. Look how fast Miami, the dolphins were awful to interesting to really,

really good. One of the top defense than the NFL. And I'm thinking this yesterday during the show, Philadelphia fires their coach.

And I'm down. It's a great job. And then I'm driving home and I'm thinking, wait, Doug Peterson won a Super Bowl and they fired him.

And Andy Reed got to a Super Bowl and five NFC championships.

And after one bad year, they fired him and Chip Kelly had a winning record and they fired him.

I'm not sure this is a great job. Expectations make the job. Tom Coughlin was allowed to have like three, four bad years in a row.

They retained him. Peterson beat Bella, Chacken and all time Super Bowl. He's now gone and here's, here's the owner after the dismissal yesterday.

Very few people probably after success deserve to lose their job.

This is much more about the evaluation of whether the Eagles moving forward our best option is to have a new coach.

And that's really, really what it's about. It's not about, did Doug deserve to be let go? No, he did not deserve to be let go.
