You do realize Minter is still under contract plus he's smart enough to not take a job in the AFC West probably AFC.
Minter is having a 2nd interview for HC in Vegas today
Being that Vegas is taking Mendoza #1 they'd be fools to hire a defensive minded head coach over a qb guru.
I do realize we're talking Vegas though so anything is possible 🤣😂😅
I'm with Kenyon on the daboll take. Even if he is a decent offensive coordinator, which is debatabke because josh Allen makes everyone look good, I don't want a man child calling plays for Justin Herbert. We need some professionals around here. Harbaugh got one more chance to not F this up again, better not go all in on daboll. Tbh it's pretty simple, we need a west coast offense with a good line and running game. Fine some wiz kid who isn't stuck in his ways and can adapt to the constant change in the NFL. Stop recycling the same old people just because you guys are buddies. Actually have some vision for the team. I have minimal faith hortiz will even be able to build a oline so it might be irrelevant either way 😂
I really enjoy your podcast! You are top 3 in this genre in my HUMBLE opinion. I feel like with the 3 of you we get a balanced view of what’s happening with our team. 😊
Arthur Smith is a terrible idea. They should be throwing a bag at McDaniel
Spanos don't try and half ass these couches. Get the check book out and go after championships that's what will get you the big big money your looking for. Top to bottom you have to have the personal. Buckle up your chinstrap and get this done.
Call McDermott he might just take a step back after what happened in Buffalo McDermott was a great DC get out in front of this and see what transpires.
Here we go again! Chargers going cheap again if they go in house!
You want to heap, get Marcos Aroyo ! Justin Herbert’s OC at Oregon? He’s the guy that made Herbert!
Marcos Arroyo was Herbert’s OC when he won the pack-12 championship! Get him, he’s cheap and knows Herbert’s abilities…
Jesse going to the Raiders would be a slap in the face to the Chargers organization and fans. Really hope he doesn’t do that. Like why bro?
