Summary

The calls light the fuse on the coaching chaos: does John Harbaugh regret choosing the Giants now that the Bills job is open, and could Mike Tomlin ever wind up in Buffalo? Evan shuts that down fast, saying Harbaugh wanted the Giants job and knew the Bills opening could be coming if Buffalo lost. From there it turns into full “head coach bingo” for the Bills. The guys weigh big names like Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick, talk through why the mandate in Buffalo is Super Bowl or bust, and land on a prediction that actually makes too much sense: Brian Daboll. They dig into Daboll’s history with Josh Allen, what Buffalo would need on defense, and why Giants fans should feel even better knowing Harbaugh chose New York before the Bills vacancy even hit the market.

Let's get your calls. 888-808-101-19. Thomas in New Jersey or Jersey City. What's up, Thomas?

0:06.8

Hey, guys. Morning.

0:08.4

What's up in?

0:09.2

Do you think that the, what's his name, Artball and Stefansky regret potentially now getting

hired to their teams since McDermott got fired? And in addition to that, too, could there be a possibility maybe Mike Tomlin doesn't take

the full year off now and maybe tries to get requested to get traded to the bills?

0:28.9

No, I don't, yeah, I don't think Mike Tomlin's coached this year and maybe not ever.

0:33.5

So that's one thing.

0:35.2

I think, does Harbaugh regret it?

0:37.8

No, because as I said before, I think he wants to be the head coach of the New York Giants.

0:42.5

I think he sees potential with this roster.

0:46.3

And I'm sure that's what he'll say tomorrow.

0:48.4

Now, maybe in the back of his mind, he's kind of like, oh, that would have been a good one to take.

0:52.8

But the Buffalo Bills have issues.

0:55.3

Like, their great quarterback masked their issues.

0:59.4

I mean, the fact that Brandon Cooks is one of their top receivers, how old is that kid?

1:04.2

He's been around forever.

1:05.7

And so.

1:05.9

He's also been on 150.

1:07.4

Exactly.

1:08.6

And their defense is not good.

1:10.1

You know why I can joke and we can have fun and we can bust balls? And I did at the top of the show. You guys are so lucky. John picked the Giants early. John Harbaugh is not an idiot, right? He's a smart guy. You don't think John Harbaugh knew there was a possibility that if the Buffalo Bills lost in bad fashion, Sean McDermott may be fired? Of course. Like, he knew. So if John Harbaugh, and I think he's different than Kevin Stefansky, because John was clearly the bell of the ball, if he knew it was a possibility, he could have very well told the Giants, you're going to wait a couple of days.
