Summary

With Mike McCarthy meeting the Giants, the crew plays out what the interview really needs to cover and what answers could actually change minds. The focus stays on McCarthy’s staff plan, how he would keep up defensively with modern offenses, and whether he can restore real on field accountability after too many Giants lapses. The conversation widens into full Harbaugh watch, with John Harbaugh framed as the Juan Soto of the coaching market and the clear prize everyone is waiting on. Calls weigh in on how Giants fans would react to a McCarthy hire, fears of settling if Harbaugh goes elsewhere, and what kind of staff Harbaugh would build for a young quarterback like Jaxson Dart. The segment also veers into a heated debate on teams threatening season ticket holders over secondary market sales, with Evan arguing it is unfair for long suffering fans to take losses for years and then get blocked from finally making money back when a team gets good.
