Just to kind of underscore the point that even on Black Monday or the Tuesday after the NFL season, you never quite know because you had Mike McDaniel earlier in the week at the podium talking about, hey, who's going to be in on the Dolphins' GM interviews?

0:11.8

Well, obviously that did not work out to be the case, as he did meet with Stephen Ross Tuesday to discuss the season.

0:17.7

And then Ross yesterday in his statement announcing the firing of McDaniel after careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made the decision that our organization is in need of a comprehensive change. And thus, that's where the dolphins are at now. You think Troy Aikman got him fired. Can't rule it out, right? I mean, Troy's right in the middle of it right he's consulting he is consulting

0:39.2

so it's possible not hard to consult and say hey let's get the band back together for the ravens and

0:43.9

let's bring john harbaud down here and pay him 20 million dollars a year and let's let's roll if that's

0:48.8

what Troy's pitching then you know it's nice to get paid to you is or not but you know the thing is

0:53.3

is that he is a consultant.

0:54.8

And I'm just telling you right now, this guy, just like Jerry Jones, just like Bob Kraft, Woody Johnson would be in that mix. Unfortunately, John Marr is going through what he's going through right now. They all see that. I mean, this is why they're like, what are they going to? They're not going to take it to the grave with them.

1:11.4

So we've got to try to get this done while I'm still here.

1:14.6

Yeah, I'm saying. I mean, this is why they're like, what are they going to? They're not going to take it to the grave with them.

1:11.4

So we've got to try to get this done while I'm still here. Yeah, and Stephen Ross is someone who is just, he is not going, he will get what he wants. And more so than these other guys. He just will. And he's someone who's got a track record of that. And I think you're going to see insanity,

1:27.0

insanity with this contract with John Harbour on the office.

1:30.5

And, you know, it're going to see insanity, insanity with this contract with John Harbour and the office.

1:30.5

And, you know, it's going to be control, a lot of control along with his own GM.

1:35.0

And it's kind of like what Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, you know, basically did out in San Francisco.

1:41.4

And you know what they don't have down at Florida, Boomer?

2:17.6

State taxes. Yeah. C-MAC referenced that with you, that being a big, yeah, yesterday. We're talking about the Dolphins job. I'm not like, when I brought that up like 15 years ago, everybody scoffed at me. And I'm like, you guys, you have no idea, especially now when you get to these numbers where these guys are getting to. Big numbers. yeah. It's huge. Of course it is. Yes. Some more fallout from the Harbaugh-Raven situation. Todd Munkin and the Baltimore offense, certainly a component of it. Lamar Jackson, we talked about that angle yesterday. So Munkin goes on the Ryan Ripkin show yesterday. That's Cal Ripkin's son, who is a former big league player, minor league player turned media guy, content creator. I guess Munkin has some sort of connection

2:23.0

with him. He did 43 minutes on his show yesterday. Todd Munkin did. And a big theme for the

2:28.6

Ravens offensive coordinator looking back on this failed season in Baltimore, accountability

2:32.8

from the players to the coaches to

2:35.0

himself. You can't get all the credit when we do well and just exonerate yourself from the

2:40.9
