00:03 Eight head coaching vacancies following the end of the regular season.

00:07 Six have been filled.

00:09 Raheem Morris is back with the Falcons.

00:11 Frank Reich was fired in the middle of the year.

00:13 Dave Canales, the offensive coordinator from Tampa Bay this past season,

00:19 the new head coach in Charlotte.

00:21 The biggest splash was Jim Harbaugh becoming the new head coach of the Chargers.

00:26 The Titans hire Brian Callahan, the former offensive coordinator in Cincinnati.

00:30 Antonio Pierce, who was the interim head man following Josh McDaniel's dismissal

00:34 before Halloween, is now the permanent head coach in Las Vegas.

00:39 And of course, the Patriots move quickly.

00:41 The succession plan following Bill Belichick to Rod Mayo,

00:44 the new head coach in Foxborough.

00:46 Which one stands out to you the most?

00:49 >> Number one is Jim Harbaugh.

00:50 That's the one you can sell to your fan base.

00:52 They're excited right away and we expect expectations right off the bat.

00:55 Let me just go back to my Philadelphia Eagles fandom for a second here, Ben.

00:58 Doug Peterson was named head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles some years ago, right?

01:02 Looked at that as like the fifth, sixth, seventh choice here.

01:04 Nobody was excited about Doug Peterson coming to town.

01:07 They won a Super Bowl.

01:08 Then they hired Nick Sirianni.

01:09 Nobody was excited about Nick Sirianni coming to Philadelphia.

01:12 But he has had some success.

01:13 So the moral of the story is, I don't like a lot of these names, but

01:16 they still can work out in the favor and have success in their cities.

01:19 But I gotta be honest, if you are some of these football teams,

01:22 like Raheem Morris in Atlanta, Dave Canales for the Carolina Panthers.

01:26 You are seeing one of the single best crops of head coaches coming up this year

01:30 that you could choose to get the excitement back in your franchise.

01:33 And a lot of these teams came away with a Brian Callahan as their coach.

01:37 And again, I'm not saying it can't work out,

01:38 cuz quite frankly it did in Philadelphia.

01:40 But if you wanted to invigorate your fan base and get ready for 2024,

01:44 I think some of these have the real chance to be unbelievable swing and misses.

01:48 And then they can sit back and go, we have the best coach in the history of

01:50 the NFL out there who wanted a job and went with Dave Canales.

01:54 That's what I'm looking at at this point now.

01:56 It's unfathomable.

01:57 It might work out, as I said, Ben.

01:58 But quite frankly,

01:59 a lot of these teams really are putting themselves behind the eight ball right now.
