Summary

The strangest coaching cycle in recent memory came to a close this week. Conor and Gary break down a bad organization hiring a good coach—the Dolphins nab Mike McDaniel as they look for a way to make it work with Tua Tagovailoa; a strange organization does the weirdest thing possible as the Texans promote Lovie Smith after firing David Culley; and the Saints go the continuity route with Dennis Allen as they (might, maybe) be looking to win a very weak NFC South in 2022.

Then, friend of the show Mitch Goldich stops by to talk Super Bowl prop bets. Conor and Gary alternately praise and berate his picks—as well as Mitch himself. Will Mitch make money with his bets? Rather than waiting to see what happens in the game, we calculate his finances in real time.

0:00.0	Hello and I'm Geremium B NFL podcast I'm Gary Gramley and I'm Potter Orr.
0:10.0	And a little bit later in the show we we are going to get some Super Bowl stuff.
0:13.5	We're going to have Mitch Goldich, friend of the show, officially, come in and share some prop
0:17.9	bets. We are going to either praise him or berate him for each of the bets he wants to place. But before we get to that we are
0:25.1	going to run through the final three hires of the coaching cycle here that we
0:30.0	haven't touched on yet. And let's start Miami-Connor with Mike McDaniel who is a guy who I think
0:37.0	we both really like.
0:38.0	Yeah, I mean, favorite of mine, I mean, I've had him on my coaching list for a couple years now and I think the reason that you know the the rap on him right was that okay well he's not Vince Lombardi in terms of like you know he's not your typically great orator and he's not going to be that
0:55.1	coach that's going to come in there in the suit and tie and talking platitudes and kind of
0:59.3	make everyone feel like we have the same person as everyone else you You know, he's a really interesting guy.
1:04.4	I mean, you know, just thinks about things a different way.
1:07.9	But from a clinical, like on field standpoint,
1:12.3	was basically the brains behind Kyle
1:14.8	Shanahan's run game for years and everyone's like oh well and you can say that
1:19.1	about everybody that's left the tree but like if you look at where Kyle Shannon
1:22.8	has been since the beginning his career the one guy that he's wanted to
1:26.2	take every single place he's gone is Mike McDaniel it'll be a really
1:29.7	interesting way you know it'll be interesting to see how he decides to kind of build this out now in Miami, the coaching staff that he's going to get, but I thought the hire was that was a slam dunk.
1:40.0	Full stop, the Dolphins are still a bad organization and you know like I think both of those things can be true right I think you could have made a good hire but also done some crappy things on the way out to did the other person
1:52.0	Yeah, I was a little bit bum that he ended up in that place in particular because I was
1:56.9	excited to see him as a head coach, but maybe not as excited to see the Dolphins get a guy who everyone should have wanted at this point.
2:06.4	But it's really interesting what's going to happen with that offense now because obviously
