| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. |
| 0:10.6 | It's Adam Kaplan here for Inside the Birds. |
| 0:12.9 | That man you see to my left in Zoom land is Greg Kosell from NFL. |
| 0:17.6 | It was Volk, by the way. |
| 0:19.2 | We're in a button-down shirt. |
| 0:20.6 | Now, Greg, you know, you don't need to get dressed up for the show. You know that. Look at me. Somebody needs to bring some class to the operation. Apparently, yeah. Apparently, I was in the memo that Mosher sent out. But so on today's show, because we've had Craig, nine head coaching changes, right? We have eight things you feel. John Harbaugh is going |
| 0:39.1 | to be the Giants head coach. But we know the Eagles need their coordinator. They let Kevin |
| 0:44.0 | Betula go out of that role. But the bottom line is there are only so many good ones to go around. |
| 0:48.9 | And let's talk about the ones we know of call plays before who are going to be in demand. |
| 0:53.6 | And let's get started with a guy I am a huge fan of. I've never met Todd Monkin, but this guy's pretty good. What are your thoughts on Todd Monkin's scheme? Well, let me just say one thing as far as head coaching. To me, the balance for an organization is, are you looking for a guy who's a CEO type? |
| 1:11.2 | Obviously, that's what John Harbaugh is. |
| 1:13.0 | I'm not suggesting he doesn't know anything about offensive defense, |
| 1:15.4 | but clearly he's a CEO type and been very successful in that role, |
| 1:20.1 | versus someone who's a great play caller with a great scheme, |
| 1:25.0 | whether it be offense or defense, |
| 1:26.6 | because automatically those guys are not necessarily great head coaches. |
| 1:31.5 | Sometimes they are. I mean, look at Mike McDonald in Seattle. He's turned out to be a terrific head coach. |
| 1:37.1 | But it doesn't always work, as you know, you've been doing this a long time just like I have. |
| 1:40.8 | Just because someone might be able to put together a great offensive scheme and call plays doesn't automatically mean they're a great head coach. |
| 1:48.5 | So, you know, organizations have to really try to find that balance, you know, |
| 1:52.6 | because it's very easy to look at a guy and say, man, that guy's a great play caller. |
| 1:56.1 | That's a whole different deal than being a hit coach. |
