| 0:04.3 | Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio. |
| 0:10.4 | A couple of hours away from the Seattle Seahawks opening their parade route to all fans in the Pacific Northwest. |
| 0:16.5 | Shout out to them. Congratulations. Have yourself a day. |
| 0:18.8 | This is good morning football. It's Wednesday, February 11th, a couple days after Super Bowl 60. Jamie Erdog, I'm anti-Teyo here in L.A. Mike Garifolo, joined by Kyle Brandt in New York City. Guys, we have Binder, keep trying this hour. Plus, Kyle, miss you yesterday on your travel back to the East Coast. You still have to recap about the halftime from Super Bowl 60. Yeah, and more importantly, if you thought that was an unusual halftime show, it certainly was unique and memorable. But I have a deep dive back from the 90s, maybe the strangest Super Bowl halftime of all time. You will not believe that this really happened. We have the video. We have it all. And I will present it to you. Mike, you're going to love this one. Everyone's going to love this one. Somewhere on a ranch in Wyoming, Harrison Ford is going to love this one. Good morning, That's That's |
| 1:23.6 | Which means we are inching closer to talking about free agency, combineine draft, but we also need to put a cap on the coaching cycle that just happened to us because that was a crazy January. Jamie, Manzi, Mike G. and Kyle. Mike G., real quick on him, put you on the spot. Giants just made a new hire this morning just so we understand how all the coordinators work. What's going on with the Harbaugh in New York? |
| 2:01.0 | Brian Callahan, the former head coach of the Tennessee Titans, now going to be the quarterbacks coach, according to Ian Rappaport, and your boy, right here. I told him to jump on. I said, jump on the air in your jammies. He said, no, I'm out of my jammies. Prove it, Rappaport. You've got two minutes to get in front of your camera. A lot of experience on this coaching staff right now. A lot of former play-calling head coach and offensive coordinator experience. You've got Greg Roman on staff. You've got Brian Callahan. Matt Nagy is the offensive coordinator, twice an offensive coordinator, and a play-calling head coach as well as Tim Kelly, who's been an offensive coordinator two times as well. So you've got tremendous experience at the head coach position. Also, all these assistants for Jackson Dart, got to be loving life if you're that young fellow today. Caught my eye just because Brian Callahan goes to New York and Brian Daibble is now in Tennessee, but he's off as a play caller for Robert Sala, which is one of the 10 new head coaches around the league. So let's talk about this. Now, there were 10 spots and now there are none. Here they are. New faces and new places. I hate that phrase, but it actually applies in this spot. Some actual rookie head coaches and others. We've seen them before. 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 and I see Mike McCarthy over there going to Pittsburgh Steelers, that's the most intriguing hire to me. With Mike McCarthy, you have a track record, right? |
| 3:07.6 | He's been a head coach at multiple places. He's had some good years. He's had some bad years. But then the question is, is Aaron Rogers going to get back there? And, you know, him and Aaron Rogers have a history. Like, how is that dynamic going to work? So when I look at Mike McCarthy going to Pittsburgh, he is from Pittsburgh. I know that means something special to him as it would to me, |
| 3:26.7 | but when you're sitting Mike McCarthy going to Pittsburgh, he is from Pittsburgh. I know that means something special to him, as it would to me. |
| 3:26.7 | But when you're sitting in front of that lock room, it's another head coach that has the experience that I think when you put in from a T.J. Watt and all of those guys that have played a lot of football there is a level of respect and admiration there. |
| 3:39.8 | But I also think that there was an opportunity to bring in somebody who has an unknown track record that could bring some excitement to that locker room. So out of all of those hires, Mike G, it's got to be Mike McCarthy to the Pittsburgh Steelers for me. McCarthy is intriguing because let's see a Steelers offense that can put up some points, right? We could potentially have that. |
| 3:58.7 | And I do like the idea of a Rogers reunion. |
| 4:00.6 | To me, I was out on Rogers. |
| 4:02.4 | Now all of a sudden, I'm, pull me back in. |
| 4:05.8 | Joe Brady, to me, upper left hand corner, because he's replacing a guy that made the playoffs |
| 4:11.7 | eight of the last nine years. |
| 4:14.3 | You make that move. and I understand why. |
| 4:16.7 | Like, we got to get over the hump. |
| 4:18.3 | We're in Josh Allen's prime here. |
| 4:20.7 | But Joe Brady was the young fella that was coming along quick. |
| 4:26.9 | The next young, the next Sean McVeigh. |
