You're listening to Fox Sports. RA Here we go on a Tuesday. Jobs being filled in the NFL Questions in Buffalo do they have the right coach? Live in Los Angeles on a Tuesday, it's the Herd. Wherever you may be, however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. Greg Olson stops by today. Kyle Van Noy, Nick Wright in one hour from now. J. Mac it's interesting now that they've stopped blaming the officials, Buffalo fans are now going closer inspection. Maybe Mahomes is great and our coach isn't. But I want to start with all the coaches that have been hired because I do think there are things that we learn year after year about coaching hires. Oh yeah, everything. So Pete Carroll yesterday introduced as the Raider coach. We'll get to that in a second. Here's what we know about head coaching hires. First of all, number one, I've made this mistake. Don't judge the opening press conference too harshly. Some of these young guys get to the podium without a game plan. They're nervous. Number two is organizations need different things. The Bears need creativity. The Jags have to solve Trevor Lawrence. The Raiders need an adult. The Cowboys need a lot of things. It feels like Jerry Jones just wanted a puppet. And the third thing is hiring good coordinators as your head coach is much like the NFL draft. I had dinner with an NFL GM last night and he said the draft ends up being once you get past the first round, it's a 5050 proposition. And that's why I thought Pete Carroll, Mike vrabel and Mike McCarthy were arguably the best hires. So if this morning I had to hand out a report card to all the teams. Now the Saints interviewed kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy. I don't know what they're going to do, but here's the grades I would hand out to the team. So far, I think most teams have done pretty well. So Chicago With Ben Johnson, I'll give it an A because he's never been a coach, so I can't give him an A to an A. Plus stays in the division. This is an old school defensive minded culture and they went out and hired the young, most creative offensive guy from the same division. I think this is who they wanted. I think it's who Caleb Williams wanted. Reportedly Caleb Williams went to his driveway and screamed. When they hire him, I'll give him an A. The Cowboys Brian Schottenheimer feels absolutely uninspiring. It's a D Friday Late news dump is embarrassing again. The last time he was a hot coordinator was 12, 13, 14 years ago. You know, again, I think the Cowboys got caught flat footed and this is what it looks like. I would say Liam Cohen for the Jaguars B again did wonders with Baker Mayfield, but Baker Mayfield also is pretty talented. Made Will Levis a little better. You know, again, not a great opening press conference. What's his vision? Listen, we know he's a smart offensive guy, so it's the right side of the ball. But so is Shane Steichen in Indy and that hasn't worked great so far. I'll give it a B. Aaron Glenn, jets hire another defensive coordinator don't love the staff I'm seeing put together so far. It may work. The players like him. But the players loved Antonio Pierce as an interim and a head coach for the Raiders. So what does that mean? I don't trust this organization upstairs. Aaron Glenn is fine, you know, we'll see. I think it's actually a good roster. He's kind of tap dancing, walking on eggshells around the Aaron Rodgers thing. I can't give it better than a C. I think Mike Vrabel's an A. This to me was the best coach available on the market. He's got a winning record. He's a culture changer. Familiarity with the team. Most of These coordinators are a 5050 prop, but the guys that change cultures, the Harbaughs, the Vrabels, the Pete Carrolls, those, those guys don't really fail. They may not win a trophy, but they don't fail. I thought this was a solid A higher and I think the Raiders with Pete Carroll, a lot of people dogged him for his age. I do not worry about Pete Carroll's age and vitality. I think he looks fantastic for his age. I don't know. It just to me they need an adult in the room. His last two years in Seattle, they had a winning record in the division with Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay like, they. They were still winning football games. So here was Pete yesterday at his opening presser. It all starts with competition. I mean, either competing or you're not. There's one thing that I want them to understand and, you know, start the message right now. If you want to be on a great team, you. You need to be a great teammate. So there you go. There are my grades. Vrabel, Pete Carroll, A's, Ben Johnson, and A minus. I think if I was the Saints, I would go Mike McCarthy, but he sort of disappeared off the radar. Kellen Moore is interviewing for that job. We'll see how it goes. Kellen Moore feels like a B, B minus. Higher. Okay, so listen, whenever you lose to the Chiefs, it's always the ref's fault. And fan is short for fanatic. And now it's Tuesday and suddenly the articles are being more reasonable and acknowledging. Yeah, our coaches sort of got worked on big plays. So one of the articles this morning points to three different things that cost him. I agree with all three. Number one. So this is the fourth time Sean McDermott's had to go to the podium and answer for losing to the Chiefs. Okay, fourth time. And each time we've got these, like, situational questions about the offense. So number one, why didn't they use James Cook in the final drive? Totally agree. Said it six times yesterday, three and a half minutes left, had a monster game. Mistake. The second thing the article says, the reliance on quarterback sneaks. I beat that puppy yesterday for three hours. Didn't like it. Hasselbeck didn't like it. Drew Brees didn't like it. Nobody liked it. But number three is an interesting one. The Bills, the article said, did not help themselves by chasing points early and trying two point conversions when they trail 2116. That's driven me crazy for years. And I always say this. Save your special for the right moment. And the reason this one I'm going to highlight the third one. Stop chasing points. You don't go into a game with nine magical plays. Even Andy Reid will admit you got a couple. And Andy's much more creative than Joe Brady or Sean McDermott. But the play that closed the game for Kansas City was that snake route to Samaj P Ryan. Only time he touched the ball the whole game. This was the one time. And Andy's been doing this for years. He has been the better poker player. And great poker players know when to bluff and go all in. And whereas the Bills telegraphed their early plays and gave their Two point conversion plays away. That handful of special play. Why are you showing them first half. Why are you going. Second quarter save. You know the game's going to be close. What are you doing? The second thing is the Bears telegraphed their quarterback sneak. Apparently they had one play in the playbook and they were going to go to one side every time in the playbook. So you were. This is the nuance of great coaching. You telegraphed your two point conversion stuff early. You showed them. This is the stuff we think works against you instead of holding it like a great poker player. And both Andy Reid and Spags saved their most unique calls. Spags corner blitz and Andy, the P. Ryan route. And Drew Brees talked about that play specifically in Andy Reid yesterday. The Chiefs do that better than anybody in every, in every one of those situations. You can tell. It's so well thought out. I mean it's, it's the Andy Reid special. Like we're going to get some kind of a man's own read. Like look what the play that sealed the game at the end when they threw it to P. Ryan in the flat. They motioned two guys over, got him. Reset. You see that? It's man to man. And then you run those guys across to set a natural pick on the backer and you seek the back out. We used to call it snake because it's impossible to cover for that guy. And so he just deals it to P R. On he goes, he gets 15 yards, they win the game. Touch the ball one time, they could have used that any point. They trailed at points. There was crisis moments in the game and he just kept that in his back pocket to the end. By the way, I don't think, I don't consider Doug Peterson an all time elite coach, but he knew when to call the Philly special. Doug's an offensive coach, Andy Reid's an offensive coach. I'm not anti defensive coach. I think Vrabel and Pete Carroll, I gave them my two A's. I am not anti defensive coach. But if you're trying to beat Mahomes and you have Josh Allen in your prime, you have got to be a better poker player. You have got to know when to bluff, got to know when to hold them, got to know when to fold them. And I think Andy Reed and Spags, you blame the refs once all the drama comes down and the emotion comes down. Now, now we're being grownups. Now we're having the grownup conversation. Now we're not blaming zebras. Now we're looking In a mirror, nobody solves any problems. Pointing. Never been a problem solved. Pointing. It's called the mirror. You look into it. Spags, Andy Reid, y'all sat at a table on Sunday. Those were the two best poker players. J. Mac, I know it's painful. I know this is a very painful segment for you. This gets people worked up.
