00:00At the end of the season, Joe, we always ask, well, quarterback's going to be back the next
00:03season. More importantly, our coach is going to be back. John Harbaugh feels like he's been down
00:07in Baltimore for 30 years. He's talking about job security right here. There is still a possibility
00:12of a playoff. You need help now. I get that. When teams don't make the playoffs, there's a focus on
00:18potential staff turnover. Do you have any fear for your own job security here, or do you anticipate
00:25being here next year? Yeah. Thanks for asking that question, Bo. Well, first of all, yeah, no,
00:34that's good. It's a great question. I mean, it's a sport. It's just how it works, you know. One thing
00:39I always have believed is that, first of all, coaching at any level is a day-to-day job, you
00:46know, and your job is to do the best job you can today and to do everything you can to help your
00:52players and your coaches, if you're a head coach, be the best they can be every single
00:57day. And it's never been about keeping a job. And there's no such thing as, like, your job
01:02or my job. You know, we have responsibilities. We're given opportunities to steward those
01:09responsibilities, and you're given a job to do that until you're not, you know, and then
01:15you try to do the best. I try to do the job, not try to keep the job, because there's no such
01:20thing as having a job, just doing a job. And so my focus is on always, it has been for
01:25the last 18 years here and the last 41 years in coaching, or is it 42? It's up there. It's
01:32been to try to do the best job I can today and fight as hard as I can so the guys can
01:37have the best chance to be successful today.
01:45You are hired to be fired. It's the way it is. To make it as long as he has, he's beat
01:49those odds. And also understand this, if they do let him go in Baltimore, regardless
01:52of what you think about John Harbaugh, he will have another head coaching job in the
01:56NFL at the start of the regular season next year. No doubt in my mind, Joe.
02:00The guy will be unemployed for all of three seconds. And it's not even funny. And even
02:06if he wants to, maybe the guy is entitled to maybe take a year off. I mean, who can blame
02:10him? But also, okay, Ravens, who are you replacing him with? You know, it always comes back to
02:16that, Donnie, too. Like, the devil you know is always better than the devil you don't.
02:20So who exactly are you rolling in there to replace Harbaugh? So it's, you know, the guy
02:25has got multiple assistants that he's gone through over the last couple of years alone,
02:29right? Guys that have gone on to other places and other careers. Like, you know, nobody has
02:35done it or has longer. I mean, we're talking Harbaugh is in Belichick category, right? I mean,
02:41how long was Belichick there before? It was just time for a change. Eventually, they're
02:46going to get there. Same thing with Tomlin. But I definitely going to be on their terms
02:51and not ownership just pulling the plug because, oh, we can't have this anymore. These guys
02:56are past that point.
