NFL cover zero with matt jones and drew franklin is a production of the NFL and iheart podcast. It is NFL Cover 0, the divisional playoff round. Matt Jones, Drew Franklin, ready to go here? It's a day late. It's on a Thursday, but, you know, it's hard to get Billy's schedule. He's really busy, so it's hard to get him in for all the days we need to do. And so, Drew, we're here and thanks to Billy for showing up and we're ready to go. I'm just kidding. It wasn't Billy, but Drew. Nice to have you.

Being a day late means we were one day closer to the actual football, so our excitement's even higher.

And if we had taped this yesterday, I don't think we would have known. The news about John Harbaugh. This is the most important story of the week for the NFL. John Harbaugh is the new coach of the Giants. The first of eight coaching vacancies to come filled is John Harbaugh. I think it was. Well, it was first reported by, like, Marty Mush, I believe on Barstool Sports. He's the first person I saw. I don't know if he gets official credit or not. Schefter, I think, confirmed it this morning. I have thought the Giants was the best of the jobs for the long term future. It's in New York. I can totally see why John would want to do it. I think it's the Giants best shot to have a good, you know, a good coach for the future that won't fail. John Harbaugh, you know, won't fail. So I like it. What about you?
Matt Jones (1:41)
I like it, too. Kind of assumed that'd be where he'd go. The moment he left Baltimore, my Titans were in the mix. I dreamed a little. I won't lie.
Billy Singh (1:49)
I knew they were second on the board in terms of.
Matt Jones (1:52)
Yeah, well, on that. He was going to do an in home interview. He wasn't going to go to Nashville.
Billy Singh (1:56)
Never a good sign.
Matt Jones (1:57)
Well, I played out in my head. They invited him and he's like, look, I'm grilling hot dogs. Y' all can come by. Just come in. You can talk to me for a little bit. Like, I'm not going to.

You're not willing to go to the city you might move to, then you're probably not moving to that city.
