| 0:00.0 | Okay, couple more questions, and then the dog does have to go out. |
| 0:17.2 | So I will bring you Sam Monson. |
| 0:18.8 | Also really just good conversation with Sam. Check the |
| 0:22.5 | mic. Former PFF. Lifelong Vikings fan. So he's been in it with you this entire time. He knows |
| 0:28.6 | exactly what this is like. Kurt says how much different to this franchise look like if they |
| 0:33.3 | hired Jim Harbaugh. I feel like that's a topic for a for July or something. |
| 0:38.2 | I don't know. They've won a lot of games with KOC. But last year, Harbaugh got his team to the playoffs in his first year like KOC did. They got killed. So I don't know. Harbaugh is a good coach. KOC is a good coach. Maybe their identity is different. but, you know, we're seeing it now with them |

| 1:50.8 | This is what you get with an unproven quarterback. |
| 1:52.8 | You get this massive range of different outcomes. |
