00:00Mike, are you getting a sense of how many head coaching openings we're gonna have this

00:04time around and what the cycle is gonna look like and how it may or may not differ from

00:08previous ones?

00:09Well, we saw eight in all last year, 25% of the league, I think six, seven, eight.

00:14It's possible.

00:15It depends on how the rest of the season goes.

00:17We already have two.

00:18The Jaguars is feeling like a foregone conclusion.

00:21There are other, and there are a lot of bad teams declared themselves early.

00:25Will some of these bad teams turn it around late and save a coach's job?

00:29We'll find out.

00:30Not every team is gonna be clustered at the bottom.

00:32Maybe it's gonna be clear separation between the bad and the good this year, but the only

00:38way a good team can become a bad team quickly is to bring in a new coach.

00:42You can't overhaul the roster in one year because of the salary cap.

00:45You can't overhaul the coaching staff.

00:47So I think we'll see, by the time it's all said and done, we could see a change in Chicago.

00:52We're gonna see a change in Dallas because there's no buyout that Jerry Jones would have

00:56to finance.

00:58We've already mentioned the Jaguars.

01:00There are other hotspots that could go one way or the other.

01:03And some are gonna go one way and some will go the other.

01:06And yeah, I think at the end of the day, six, seven, maybe eight openings.

01:10And then there's always the possibility of a surprise firing, a surprise retirement,

01:15a surprise resignation that can shake things up as well.
