Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

That's right. This is good morning football. Welcome inside, everybody. We are presented by Old Chapper Beef Jerky. Live in L.A. in New York. It's Wednesday, January 22nd. Here's Akbar. Bajabar Bhadjabia Milha. I know it's moving. January is scooting. Peter Stregor, Kyle Brandt. I'm Jamie Erdall.

Kyle did an awesome thing last week on the show, just talking about how great Jane Daniels is and all these different rookies or people that made these debuts. The one I sat up in my chair a little bit before was when I saw Ichiro. Like, Ichero is awesome. He's one of my favorite baseball players ever. Goes into the MLB Hall of Fame. Peter, another friend of the show did so recently, right?

Yes, yesterday an awesome moment for our show, because in our first few seasons as a Good Morning Football team,

when Nate Berluson would be out here and there, we had a fill-in host named C.C. Sabathia.

C.C. Sabathia used to co-host this show on Good Morning Football, a diehard Raiders fan, and an awesome friend of the program. He got the call. First Ballot Hall of Famer. Here are some of Cici's greatest moments on GMFV. Cool. You know, Raiders playing the Patriots. We were really good back, you know, at that time. Wee, not the Indians, the Raiders. No, the Raiders, yeah. Wees, the Raiders, yeah. The Raiders were really good back then. I absolutely lost it. Really? Broke the TV, like, destroyed the hotel room. But, I mean, the rest got the call right, so why were you so upset? How old were you? We were like a prospect? I was 22 or 22. Yeah, so this is real. Cici goes in. He's a great dude. We love him. And if he's watching this morning, I know he still watches our program. I'll get notes from every so often being like, ah, you were off space. I'll also say this about C.C. We had him on before the draft, and that's a tough spot for a non-football, like die hard every single day. And the guy he shouted out before the draft, that ear was like, I like this kid, Max Crosby out of Eastern Michigan. It ends up going to the Raiders and ends up being his team's best player on defense.

So C.C., congratulations. We love you on behalf of the good morning football team.

Congratulations.

That's really cool.

He used to come by, the Oakland Raiders come by, the facility come by during the game after the game.

He is a true, like, diehard fan.

So it's cool to see like that crossover with other sports into that into football. But congratulations, C.C. It's awesome to see that that pinball machine has survived in that shot too. It was right sitting right behind him and it's right over here to my right. That's great. We love that machine. I appreciate. Ian Rappaport, let's bring you in. Let's start our show. We got a lot to talk about our insider with us today here on NFL network.

Ian, we're going to run it back one more time, it sounds like, with an offensive coordinator in New England. What's the deal?

That's right. The first big hire for new Patriots coach, Mike Frable, sources say Josh McDaniels, the two-time offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots, one of the best offensive coordinators over the course of the past decade is now going to be a three-time

offensive coordinator for the Patriots.

He is expected to join New England.

That should be likely today along with special teams coordinator, Jeremy Springer along

Taro Williams, the defensive coordinator, new defensive coordinator for the Patriots.

Josh McDaniels now comes back to New England. And of all the hires that Mike Brable is going to make, first of all, this absolutely was expected. He has been the favorite all along. And as soon as Mike Frable got hired, everyone, I think kind of became clear that this was going to be the guy at offensive coordinator. But for Drake May, this is one of the best developers at the quarterback position that we've seen in a very

long time, someone who gets the offense to execute at a very, very high level.
