00:00What about a guy that was supposedly one of the hottest commodities in this cycle former dallas head coach mike mccarthy? Oh

00:08He's not really all that interested either deciding to focus on the 2026

00:13Hiring cycle and will not coach in the nfl in any capacity this upcoming season in 2025

00:21Were you surprised that mike mccarthy is going to sit out a season?

00:25No, i'm not surprised by that. It's not sitting out a season for me

00:29It's sitting out because other teams did not want you to be the head coach

00:32Maybe goes back to pro football focus eat some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and falls asleep during his lunch break there

00:37Then winds up with a head coaching job the following season because jerry didn't like how it turned out with their new head coach

00:43Shoddy at this point now and they want to bring him home. So it doesn't surprise me

00:46I was surprised he even got a job after the green bay. He said well, hold on now

00:50He won a super bowl championship. He had aaron rogers

00:52Then we're finding out that he's dipping out of practice to get massages and wasn't taking his job

00:57Seriously, and then wound up there somehow by saying he learned analytics, but learned nothing

01:01Yeah, pro football focus while he's supposed to be learning analytics and wound up with a dallas job

01:05But it is funny. It's like you know what?

01:07I'm gonna sit this one out like the one job that he probably should have gotten was the new orleans job where they go

01:13Nobody wants this and mike goes i'll take it and they're like, well fine. He said coach before it won't be embarrassing

01:18Maybe we'll get something out of it and move forward

01:20so that's the kind of interesting part and also look at some of the names that are getting jobs around the nfl the past two

01:25Seasons like mccarthy can't get one of those. Yeah, mike

01:27It's because they don't want you to be the coach now you put and it's funny that he finally pulls himself out

01:32What's it apparent?

01:33He can't even get the new orleans job isn't that convenient at this point which I always laugh about too like, you know

01:38Cliff kingsborough who might have been a hot commodity, you know

01:40I'm, not going to try for the head coaching job

01:41Maybe they didn't want you the same thing with joe bray like yeah, we like joe and it's a lot easier

01:46I'm pulling my name out. No, you were never getting that job to begin with probably at this point

01:50so those are the real optics when we look at new orleans, but by the way, like kellen moore i'm actually surprised because

01:55You can't fault a guy that goes i'm gonna be a head coach in the nfl get a lot of money

02:00It's finally my dream come true

02:02But this isn't one of those scenarios like kellen moore was a hot commodity in dallas didn't work out for some reason like mccarthy

02:08Didn't like his play calling goes out to the chargers didn't work out because that team was always injured comes to the philadelphia eagles

02:14Resets that ship and it's like you know what if I stayed one more year like joe brady's doing and you know

02:18You take a look at cliff kingsbury

02:20I don't know if my job is going to come around or maybe I lose steam like bobby

02:23Sloak was a hot number down there in houston, right now

02:26He's out of a job in one year when it looks like he was fast-tracked

02:29But it is one of those surprising ones like you know

02:30What you want to make it right like when you finally get to be a head coach and you see like what ben johnson did

02:36In detroit, look, I just don't want to go anywhere

02:38I want to pick i'm a good enough coach and understand that i'm going to be a winner here

02:41Let me pick the best spot for me

02:43I'm surprised that kellen ware's going to take that saint's job because it would be a miracle if he survives three years

02:49When they're just trying to dig out find a quarterback and get like their timeline, correct?

02:53With how much money they can spend under the cap at that point

02:56So he will get paid he'll be a head coach

02:58But boy that seems like a dead-end job to take when you're one of those hot coordinators
