00:00Bampelt does not need to be back next year. I don't think he's done such a good job that he's back with Drake Mayne next year

00:05But I'd have him finish the season. Well, I haven't finished season

00:08So he's pointed out the twist arguably been the best at his job. He might be your best coach

00:12Period. Yes it bet. He might be your best coach and you're firing him

00:16But I think what's even worse about firing him now

00:20Right after Mayo said what he said now they haven't fired him just if you're tuning in right the second

00:25Fire, but if they do you're backing Gerard Mayo and you're back at what Gerard Mayo said specifically about him and like you're like, yeah

00:33Yeah, I should have a better play caller. It's like well Mayo didn't even hire Vantel, you know

00:37That's another hole if I'm Van Pelt and they fire me and like who knows what's written in his contract or severance or anything like that

00:43So like maybe he can't I go scorched earth on this trash organization

00:46Yeah, I go I go scorched earth on this trash head coach if I get fired. Yeah

00:50Yeah, and I'm doing my job, you know, I like I'm disappointed in some of the the

00:55Passive play calls and

00:58Okay, but he's far from the worst coach on this team. I would definitely scorched earth on this place. Yeah

01:04Yeah, I don't know feel the field do that

01:06But it would make it would make no sense to do it right now. Like you said offseason

01:11Maybe take a look at everything. Also, what does that say to the next guy?

01:15So it was already impossible. Yeah to replace Bill O'Brien last year. You had to interview

01:2112 13 different people. Most of them didn't want it and then you've

01:26Eventually landed on Alex Van Pelt if you fire him 13 or 14 games into the season

01:30What does that interview process like like hey real quick? What happened to the last five guys?

01:36Just I just I want to be prepared

01:37Is this deal for more than one year like that that would not be you you've taken already a very

01:43Non attractive job outside of Drake man. I think guys would want to coach Drake May

01:48But the offensive lines trash the receivers are trashed the head coach has no confidence in you and everybody else has been fired up

01:53For one year. Yeah, yikes. No, you said earlier. It'd be great to work with Drake May

01:57But then you got to work for this guy. You got to work for Gerard Mayo. That's tough

01:59So, I don't know who's taking that
