| 0:04.3 | Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio. |
| 0:22.0 | There were 10 sports. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, no. Good morning football. |
| 0:24.2 | There were 10 spots, and now there are none. |
| 0:26.3 | Here they are. |
| 0:27.2 | New faces and new places. |
| 0:28.5 | I hate that phrase, but it actually applies in this spot. |
| 0:31.2 | Some actual rookie head coaches and others. |
| 0:33.8 | We've seen them before. |
| 0:35.2 | For example, Mike McCarthy, he returns to his proverbial home in Pittsburgh coaching the Steelers now. Guys, Mantic. First question, which new head coach to you is most intriguing? Well, when I look at that bottom right part of that graph, when I see Mike McCarthy over there going to Pittsburgh Steelers, that's the most intriguing hire to me.

| 1:43.3 | Right. |
| 1:45.0 | We could potentially have that. |
| 1:46.0 | And I do like the idea of a Rogers reunion. |
| 1:47.0 | To me, I was out on Rogers. |
| 1:49.0 | Now all of a sudden, I'm, it pulled me back in. |
| 1:52.0 | Joe Brady, to me, upper left hand corner, because he's replacing a guy that made the playoffs eight of the last nine years. You make that move, and I |
