| 0:13.3 | Oh, shut up. |
| 0:16.7 | FD with Mike Floreo every day. You can check them out there, the Unbutton podcast as well. Football Night in America. Sims, we have a wildcourt weekend ahead of us here, yet all the talk is about coaches. So Mike McDaniel, just let go, according to Adam Schaefter, by the Miami Dolphin. Do you surprised by that? I am surprised. I am. I mean, you know,, like I'm not going to say shocked, right? I'm not shocked. I understood this could happen. But I thought, you know, as far as getting here to Thursday after week 18, I thought, okay, he's made it. He's made a few comments. Like, it sounds like I'll be a part of interviewing some of the GMs. So, you know, from that |
| 0:54.9 | standpoint, that's where I was surprised. We all knew this was on the radar in Miami. And you |
| 1:00.4 | guys know my thoughts on this in general. I don't think he should have been fired. I don't. |
| 1:05.1 | You know, we've discussed this at length. I mean, this is one of the greatest offensive minds |
| 1:09.6 | in football. This is the guy that |
| 1:11.0 | was a trendsetter for everybody in football for about a three-year period, right? I mean, |
| 1:16.5 | they go to the playoffs without Tua. They go to the playoffs with Tua. They almost go to the |

| 1:42.3 | stand in the pocket and he can't throw the ball down the field. |
| 1:45.6 | And yet still it was one of the top offenses in football. So, yeah, that's where I don't |
| 1:50.0 | believe Mike McDaniel should be fired. But regardless, I don't think it'll be long. I do think |
| 1:55.0 | he'll get a chance again at some point, maybe this year to be a head coach, definitely |
| 1:59.0 | going to be in demand for an offensive coordinator role right away. |
| 2:03.2 | But yeah, I was a little surprised that it happened this late. |
| 2:06.1 | What did you make of Tua's comments saying a new start would be dope? |
| 2:10.0 | Yeah, I mean, listen, I get it. |
