Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humble the Boe, the Thunderdode.

On this Super Football weekend, Wednesday, January 7, 2020, 26.

This sports program begins now.

Football!

It's magical, and it's always changing and evolving, isn't it?

Wow, an 18-year stint comes to an end with one tweet out to the world saying,

John Harbaugh has been fired, like, uh, John Horrible out in Baltimore.

Ian Rapaport of NFL Network went on his show, Insiders last night on the NFL network and said like,

yep, a lot of guys didn't like him in a locker room. That's basically what it came down to. The ownership kind of found that out later as it went on. We'll hear from Schaeftor in the second hour at about 130 Eastern Standard Time to hear what he's hearing about the entire situation. Hell of a run over there, though, coach. Honestly. 18 years, very, very rare in the NFL, very rare anywhere. And obviously the only way you can do that is if you are one hell of a ball coach. And he certainly was that. I think we all knew what we expected from the Baltimore Ravens football team whenever Hardball was coaching it. That's Hardball football. We're going to be a tough team. We're going to be a hard-nosed team. Hardball comes from the special teams world, so we're going to be diligent in all three phases. I think we saw that out of the Baltimore Ravens a lot. Baltimore Ravens, though, very similar to Pittsburgh Steelers who have Mike Tomlin there for 18, 20 years as well, two staples of the AFC North, two staples of the NFL who have been doing battle in a big way for very, very meaningful playoff spots every single year and AFC North titles for the better part of the last two decades, fans kind of getting sick of the message. You know, some people say the coach will lose the messaging to the locker room. Well, I think you lose the messaging to the fans as well. When the fans give up hope and think that you can't win a Super Bowl anymore, they grow louder, especially in football towns, like in Pittsburgh, definitely like what happened here in Baltimore. Now, there's a lot of conversation about Tyler Loop misses a kick, there's a fumble at a half yard line, there's a drop in the end zone. How come John Harbaugh is being punished so bad for this? I think this is potentially a good thing for both sides. from both sides. I think John Harbaugh, who is now the bell of the ball of the coaching cycle, allegedly seven, eight teams have looked into talking to John Harbaugh. He gets a chance to rebuild, which I think a hardball person enjoys doing. Jim has moved multiple times and had to build up a bunch of programs. John really hasn't had the opportunity to do that because he had so much sustained success in one particular place. I think a fresh start will be good for John Hardball and a fresh start

for... John really hasn't had the opportunity to do that because he had so much sustained success in one particular place.

I think a fresh start will be good for John Harbaugh, and a fresh start for the Baltimore Ravens people, I think I'm excited to see who it could potentially be. But all of a sudden, John Harbaugh is the guy that everybody's looking to hire, and then you start looking at stats and it's like, well, is Mike McCarthy also going to get looked at the same exact way? Are we about to see second, third chapters of guys becoming something very special in this hiring cycle? There is certainly a chance. We made a graphic about the NFL coach's pool right now, and it is certainly a very large pool. And then if you look at the very back of this pool, there's a high dive. Don't look now. There's maybe a college coach and people are calling the greatest football coach of all time, potentially taking a 30 meter leap

right up there into the pool with all these NFL coaches that are certainly out there being

talked about. You know, Ben Johnson, the last couple coaching cycles, he was the guy. He was

turned down jobs going back to Detroit lines. Then it was like, well, which team is going to be lucky enough to be chosen by Ben Johnson? He picked the Chicago Bears. It worked. All of a sudden this year, there isn't really the Ben Johnson. There isn't really the this is who you should hire. This is who you have to hire. For a long time, the coaching cycle was, needing an offensive guy, need an offensive guy. Oppenheimer came up to this one, he split the atom. If you hire an offensive head coach who calls the plays, then if your offense has success, nobody is going to poach your offensive coordinator because your head coach is there. And so you're going to be able to maintain that. You maybe just have to replace the defensive side, but if you have the offensive side figured out that's good news, especially with the success, Sean McVeigh and other offensive gurus and everything, feels like leadership of men is going to become a main requisite for who you hire. Not necessarily on the offensive side, not necessarily on the defensive side, but if you get some dogs in there, potentially the teams are going to run a little bit harder. Look at what happened in New England, Mike Vrable. Mike Vrable is actually telling players, star players, shut the fuck up, on the sideline, and then talking shit to him immediately afterwards, and then they're dapping up and winning and doing something that we were hoping would never happen again in New England, which has become dominant again like a dynasty. So, whenever you're looking for your next head coach, I don't think anybody knows who's the right pick this year. But I think the one thing that they should be looking for is who can lead a group in the same direction. And we're going to need somebody to be able to do offense. Because if the quarterback's ass and the offense is ass, your chances of making it, ass. So good luck to all the teams and good luck to Hardball on on his next voyage. Now you saw that pool there's a couple names in there that people are like who is it, who is it? Shane Steikin's in there because allegedly what's that about? What? He's coming back. Listen, this is a coach pool, okay? We just took a picture of it. All right, we're just telling you what's potentially possible out there. And that could be another coach that currently has a job. But Harbaugh, allegedly,

has had a team that still has their coach and didn't make any announcement about firing a coach,

calling his team saying, hey, would you think about? So, Schaefter was alluding in his tweet,

basically, like, there's teams who were going to keep their

coach and potentially even their GM as well that now hear about John, I'm not saying the coach are anywhere near that. I'm just saying, good. Yeah, got a lot of good history of Baltimore, things coming from Baltimore to Indianapolis, you know what things work out. Harbaugh family, Harbaugh is up in the Ring of Monter, you know, the brother is there. I'm just saying maybe they think about it. Maybe they think about it. You know, maybe, maybe John Harbaugh does that, or maybe it's another team and a fan base that thought, oh, we're doing status quo. We're staying the exact same. And now all of a sudden John Harbaugh is available. And ownership goes, wait a minute. That is exactly what we are looking for where we are at. Let's go to the toxic table at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Conman, you look a little different today. Yeah, locked in. I mean, all this talk you're mentioned about the offseason and about, you know, coaches being in higher places. That's cool. I'm locked it on the playoffs because I got a game. You know,'s got a game he's in his you know

entire get up with the Green Bay Packers is my game day game okay this is my hey

this is the playoffs this is a classic Nike tech playoff fit okay so I mean look I'm

jacked up I'm juiced up I'm hydrated is your first time wearing one of those no not my

first time I wore it last year a bunch.
