00:00to hot spot in football is the Cleveland Browns. What do you think about that? Their next head
00:04coach is a point of discussion for us today. Jim Schwartz is actually the favorite at a 21% chance
00:11followed by Mike McDaniel, Chris Shula, and John Harbaugh. Can you imagine, Joe? Harbaugh going
00:16from a division rival in the Baltimore Ravens over to the Cleveland Browns? Yeah, this is what we
00:22call one of these vacuum trades here, Donnie, given the fact that no candidate appears to be
00:28above 30%, right? So this means that traders are basically throwing darts here because in one
00:35market with no clear favorite, the field is always undervalued in these situations. With Jim Schwartz
00:42at 21 cents on Cal sheet, he's the safe bet, right? That's a deep seed to head coach. He's been there.
00:50He knows this. The defense is the best part of the Browns. Where it feels like one market,
00:55like Polly market is betting on the splashy name, McDaniel or Flores. It feels like the 21,
01:02the 21 cents on Schwartz is the value buy for a team that could very well go for stability,
01:09especially the Browns over a new splashy hire that they're going to have to end up firing in
01:15two years anyway. Yeah. Broken record, Joe, in these prediction markets for me, I'm going to offense
01:21each and every time and I'm fading the deep. Why would you make, look, Jim Schwartz was a defensive
01:25coordinator and a head coach already. Didn't work out so well. I'm not saying he can't be another
01:29head coach, but if I'm the Cleveland Browns, I just got to restart the program and hear me out on
01:34this one. I'm not betting Schwartz. And yesterday, at least on Cal sheet, he was trading about 81% to
01:39the no it's down to 80 cents here. But if I look at Mike McCarthy, a yes on an investment of a hundred
01:45dollars pays back $1,429. Stability is what I'm looking for. You're not going to get that flashy
01:52prize in McCarthy, but I don't think you can go wrong. McDaniel also makes some sense. I'm just
01:56looking to say, once again, I don't want Jim Schwartz to be my head coach and that will not
02:01fire up the fan base for Cleveland. Get a good defensive coordinator, get an offensive innovator,
02:05at least an offensive head coach that can stick with it for me getting my money. I'm going to invest
02:10there, of course. And Mike McCarthy, yeah, you heard that right. Wow. Well, listen, we're talking
02:16about the Haslams here, right? So the common sense aspect of it probably goes out the window.
02:23And listen, it feels like he's firing everyone, but he has made it a point to say,
02:28I want Jim Schwartz here. So he's already kind of led you down that. Yeah, he's not going anywhere.
02:36And your best player, most expensive players on the defensive side of the ball.
02:41I don't know. Going to be interesting to see what the Haslams do.
02:45It'll probably do wrong, right? Cleveland usually does wrong at this point. We'll see what happens.
