Yeah. Getting fired is not fun. No, this is a. It's a very somber day thoughts and prayers anyone that takes joy in their coach being fired is a sick off. See a dog Peterson, Adios, bitch. So it was crazy. We're going to get into more with Diana Rossini about it. But that was, I think, the most shocking news was Trent Balkey staying in Doug Peterson going because Trent Balkey is a cockaroch. He just sticks around forever. He has been the GM of two teams and he is now about to hire his sixth head coach. And I looked it up, Trent Balke, as the GM of the Jacksonville Jaguars, is 26 and 58. Sorry, he started as like I think he was a senior player, personnel, whatever, and then became the GM. So his time in Jacksonville, 26 and 58, Doug Peterson's time in Jacksonville was 22 and 29 so Trent Balky without Doug Peterson was 4 and 29

22 and 29 sounds pretty good. Yeah, it does and put so Doug Peterson got fired but Trent Balky didn't yeah And you separate those and you're like wait a second No, I'm not saying Doug Peterson should have kept his job But it seems like the Jags should have fired both of them. Yeah, so Trent Balky He was there for the 49ers the the Jim Harbaugh Jim Tom Sula days. Yep. I believe he hired Jim Kelly

He hired Jim Tom Sula, he hired Chip Kelly. Yep. And he was part of that whole scene where allegedly Harbaugh may have told some high up people when they walked into the room, sorry, this room is for men only. Yes. And then that, you know, he's really good at at he's really good at sitting next to the owner

Yeah, and being the one with the most face time around the owner even how he got the job in Jacksonville He started as a like I said senior player personnel or something and then They fired their GM and then he was like I'll be the interim GM and then after a while I was like wait I guess I'll just stick as the GM. Yeah, he just he's he's a survivor Sitting next to the owner during games is actually worth a lot in terms of job security. And he's very good at that. Yeah. So that was a big news. Then the giants also big news, keeping both a table and Jo Shane crazy. I mean, I guess John Merritt deserves credit for being a man of his word. I guess so he also really kind of threw him under the bus while saying that he's keeping them. Yeah. He's like, this is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make, but we're not firing him.
