because it said the Jets hired Dolphins wide receivers coach. Yes. Slash secondary coach. A lot of these coaches do. They learn, they learn a lot of different positions. You know, tight-in coaches are trying to learn offensive line play and, you know, that kind of stuff. And then they get elevated to that position. Yep. You know, understood great thing I will say is that, you know, this is the second wave of coaches now that are coming through. Or the second wave, I should probably say the 50th wave of coaches that are coming through. Sure. You know, and all these guys that are in your 30s and 40s that are getting their opportunities. Now, a guy in his late 50s is Todd Monkin. He will be the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns. A couple quick ones. So, you know, when teams hire different guys, it's kind of like, hey, get to know this guy. So the Chargers did that with Mike McDaniel. And there were a couple of interesting things they put out.

Some Yankee fans not happy about it. Bellinger is not one of those. I feel really good with that. Obviously, it might not be what everyone wants to hear, but I really do love the group that we had. He thinks it's a very good team that can win a lot of games again. One guy in particular, number 99. Love playing with that guy. Special, man. Special.
