And don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com. I have a story up now about the coordinator changes. I'm going to have some stuff up coming up in a few days. We'll have more stuff next week. All sorts of stuff because this is going to be a very busy offseason as we have already seen this week. So stay tuned for all that. For you, club members, I'll be doing the private Zoom with you gold members, I should say, on Friday night at 730 Eastern Time. So look for that link. If you want to become a club member,

late on Wednesday night. And so I'm going to spend a few minutes talking about this situation and what I

know. And all you can do is go by what you know and what your reporting tells you, where your

reporting takes you and not following what sometimes becomes narratives. So that's what I don't want

to do. I want to follow the reporting and not the narrative.

So be careful with all of that. Always remember that any, what I have to have to remember as a

reporter is everybody's got an agenda. There's a reason why information gets out there. Everybody's

got one. So you try to parcel it all out and just kind of try to get to the

truth as best you can.

That's what I do.

I spent most of the day on the phone today trying to figure out not just why, well, really

why, right?

Why move on from Kingsbury and what's next?

And so I think the what's next part that's still, there's going to be some names that are coming out. I'm not going to get into a lot of that today. I do know they requested permission to talk to Patrick Graham, the Raiders defensive coordinator, former Giants defensive coordinator. And I do expect at some point, it would make sense if Rahim Morris does not get a head coaching job, Jeff Albrecht, if he moves on from Atlanta, both those guys would be in play

for Washington. And then for the offensive coordinator, you know, I just, I think I'd say wait and

see because there's going to be a lot of names thrown out there. I don't know that all of them are as in play as much in play as maybe some as maybe we think. So I'm going to be careful on some of those at this point. I know there's some point might talk about potential names without saying these are the names you know. Right. So there's a difference. Sometimes you can just say like, okay, here are names that are out there. Let's talk about this person versus these are the people that are going to be coming in here. And not just, but you have to do that based on your knowledge, not just on speculation or guessing. And I do know that, you know, we talked about this on the live stream show with Bram, David Blow,

it sounds like the lines are interested in him. I do know that this team would like to somehow keep him. He is young, and he is, he's just started becoming a coach a year ago. So he's pretty

new to this. But he is someone who's highly thought of. The question is, it'd be kind of a big leap if he stayed here as an offensive coordinator.
