0:00.0	Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm your host, Shield Capadia. My guest today is Mike Golick,
0:05.5	Jr. You can watch him on Golick and Golick on Fandual Sports Network. We talked about the best
0:11.2	coaching performances of the season through five weeks. If you've listened to me before,
0:15.9	you know how I view this. It's all about who's doing more with less, who is maximizing their
0:20.6	talent. So I had a list of
0:22.1	five guys, at least one that I think will really surprise you. And we discuss what's impressed
0:27.4	us about these coaching jobs. Fun conversation because you realize it's not just about one thing.
0:32.4	For one guy, it's scheming. For another guy, it might be culture building. For another guy,
0:36.6	it might be putting together a good
0:38.4	staff. So we broke it all down. And then at the end, I had to chime in on that wild Chiefs Jaguars Monday night
0:45.1	football game. Chiefs put up 476 yards of offense and still lose that game, Trevor Lawrence, with a big
0:53.1	moment at the end. I'll talk about that
0:55.3	in the hurry up. So let's take a quick break. We come back and talk about the best coaching
0:59.6	performances of the season with Mike Golick Jr. This is the Ringer NFL show presented by
