Hello and welcome.

It's our number three, hour number three of our radio program and the Houston Texans are closing in on a new head coach with chatter that Lovie Smith is in line to get the gig.

That means that the coach who is hoping to get back in the interim, Brian Flores, is not going to get the job.

So how will the Texans explain things if Lovie Smith gets the job over Brian Flores?

We will discuss that and more right now in our number three.

Here it is.

Not getting the call. Welcome in the beginning of another hour.

It's the Ben Mather's show.

We are side by side in the air everywhere as we avoid bribery.

Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast.

And prestigiously powerful microphones of FSR emanating live

from the box, the soapbox, the Fox Sports Radio Studios at a secret location somewhere in the North Woods and hope all is going okay with you.

We are back at it again this hour and our lead coming from the coaching carousel.

Coaching carousel starting to slow down.

Starting to slow down.

Super Bowl week is upon us and the Broncos, Bears, Raiders, Vikings, Jags, and Dolphins have new head coaches.

Mike McDaniel, the latest head coach to be named for Miami.

More on that coming up next hour, but there's only two jobs still available.

If you're looking to become an NFL head coach, hopefully you get your resume in,

and you have applied online where you need to apply.
