and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and making a return

appearance to the show it has been some time decided out of absolute nowhere to drop a column on the purple insider website

Brian Murphy what is up Brian?

Hey happy spring good to see it.

Yeah.

I'm actually I'm looking at you but the audience can only hear us.

So, yeah, it's true.

They can.

So I'm making faces at you and trying to swat a giant fly

that's been buzzing around my head

because I'm out in my sun porch because it's a beautiful day.

How about that? And both of us play golf this morning. It's a wonderful time to be alive.

So I got a few things I want to talk with you about in part from your column you ran through some

pro football talk headlines and just maybe lost your mind about OTA headlines

which is just it's it's classic, classic May football takes.

But I wanted to ask your opinion on something first,

because this is a question that comes up on the fans only

podcast and the mailbag.

The main storyline, I think, for this year is how much the coaching is different and how much that matters and give me your broad opinion reaction to that sentiment. Like you and I criticize Mike Zimmer a lot.

Mike Zimmer got mad at you a few times for it. But at the same time I don't want to sit here and say that Mike Zimmer was a garbage

coach or had no idea what he's doing because we've seen that and that's really a sight to behold. And I guess I wonder what you think that Kevin O'Connell

should keep from Mike Zimmer and should not keep from Mike Zimmer. And you know how much that matters.
