Summary

Breaking news hits in real time as the Bills make a surprise coaching hire, promoting OC Joe Brady instead of going outside the building for a bigger name like Brian Daboll. The guys react to what it says about Buffalo’s interview list, what it could mean for Daboll’s next move, and why teams sometimes promote from within out of fear of losing “their guy.” Then Posting and Toasting takes over: old coworker tweets get exposed, the snow-football debate reignites, and the conversation spirals into a very specific New York sports question. If you’re a Jets fan, can you wear a Sam Darnold jersey during Seahawks week, or is that crossing the line?

And here it is.

The Bills have named their head coach.

0:04.7

Oh, hold on.

0:06.5

Let's play a quick game.

Now, Tiki said immediately upon the removal of McDermott at Brian Daible.

0:13.5

I kind of agreed.

We had the surprise Philip Rivers interview.

0:17.2

Then Philip Rivers pulls himself out.

0:19.5

I think we're both on the same page that we are going to remain steadfast that Brian Daebel is going to get this job. Yep. My thought from the immediate get-go. Ladies and gentlemen, Sean Morash, who is the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills? This, according to Ian Rappaport, purdy, insiders, the bills are promoting their own offensive coordinator Joe Brady to be their

head coach. This fan focus was sponsored by Town Fair Tire. Nobody beats Town Fair Tire. Nobody.

0:44.5

Wow. That means that Dave's is going to be in Tennessee then. Yeah. Because that was a job that he was

0:49.4

going to take unless he got the Bill's head coaching job. This is brutal for that is that it's well it's not brutal because if he goes to Tennessee

0:57.5

and does well he'll get another job.

0:58.8

No.

0:59.4

This felt like the easiest next step.

1:02.8

Well, they also hired the guy who replaced the guy who replaced you for when you left.

1:08.3

Right.

1:09.1

So I don't know if they're going internal, wouldn't you think it would be you, even if you're still not technically internal? Yeah. This would be a major disappointment in the Dave's household. I did have Joe Brady getting a head coaching job this offseason. It was, however, with the Tennessee Tigers. You know, I remember when you said that, and I don't know if we had this discussion on air off air, but one of the things I warned, and I don't know if Joe Brady's going to be the next great head coach or not, I have no idea. But sometimes you have someone on your staff that you love, but you have a head coach. And I give you a great example that really rings true today, the Baltimore Ravens with Mike McDonald and John Harbaugh. Yep. I am sure the Ravens never considered firing John Harbaugh. That would have been a tough one, with all the success that they had two years ago. But they had a guy on the staff who maybe the Ravens viewed as, wow, this guy's got a chance to be the next great head coach. So to let him go because he gets a head coaching job and look what he's done in the three years he's been in Seattle.

Now they're in the Super Bowl.

2:03.4

And I am sure there is a small part of Steve Bishotti that says to himself, damn, man, if I would have pulled the trigger on John three years earlier, I could have promoted Mike McDonald and was set.

2:14.7

Right.

2:15.0

We don't know what's going to happen in the post-harball world. And so you wonder slightly if the bills have always loved Joe Brady and we're almost worried, he'll go somewhere else and be great. McDermott will be gone in a year or two because we're never going to get over the cliff. Yeah. And then we'll regret not promoting the guy that we always have. Yeah, maybe because you had an internal option that you really liked.
