00:00Stability is what people are looking at.

00:02Pittsburgh usually has that.

00:03Other organizations do want that.

00:05John Harbaugh gave stability there in Baltimore,

00:07and now he was out and looking for a new job.

00:10The Giants and the Falcons remain leading candidates

00:13to land John Harbaugh along with many other organizations.

00:15If I gave you just those two teams right here,

00:18to me, I think it's a – the Giants can't look at and say,

00:21like, oh, I really need to get Jackson.

00:24You need stability in that organization,

00:27and I think he would bring that where you get an honest effort

00:29on a week-to-week basis.

00:31They haven't had a coach like that in a long time.

00:33The Atlanta Falcons, for me, I want more offensive-minded head coaches,

00:36but Harbaugh, Giants and Falcons at the top of the radar right now for him.

00:41Yeah, and I think it makes the most sense, right?

00:44I mean, we're hearing Giants, Falcons, Tennessee Titans

00:47as the favorites to land Harbaugh.

00:50But he is, without a doubt, the most coveted candidate

00:53in this year's coaching cycle.

00:55I mean, it's not even close at this particular point.

00:58So Giants make the most sense, especially for an organization

01:03that used to be like the Steelers where, you know, back in the day,

01:08stability, they'd give you all the resources you needed to be successful,

01:11but they haven't been that organization in a very long time,

01:15and maybe Harbaugh can help them get back to that place.

01:19Going back to those Harbaugh Ravens days,

01:21here's Steve Bichotti talking about firing Harbaugh.

01:23Question, I never in my mind, in my, you know,

01:28I never dreamed of firing somebody by phone,

01:32but the reality is when I made my decision on Tuesday afternoon,

01:37I was home and he was in his car heading to his house.

01:41And I thought it would kind of be a jerk move to call him up and say,

01:45hey, coach, meet me at the office in an hour.

01:48I mean, he probably would have said, yes, Steve,

01:51I'd rather not want to just tell me over the phone.

01:54And when I did tell him my, the decision that I made,

01:58I said, I'm really sorry about doing this over the phone.

02:01I wish we were together.

02:03And he said, I, you'd loan me an apology for that either.

02:06There you go.

02:09As soon as I heard the word, he's how he said phone.

02:11I was like, that's one of my own here.

02:12So I just looked up Steve Bichotti.

02:13Of course he was, he was born in Philadelphia, Joe.

02:16Nice dialect where we like water.

02:17And we also like the golf around here as well, Joe.

02:21Yeah.

02:21I mean, it's, you know, you're still,

02:23you could have offered the guy like a steak dinner and then fired him.

02:27Like, I don't know what you had 18 years.

02:29And all you get is a measly phone call.

02:31Like, I, all right, that's good to go.

02:34But hey, listen, I hope it works out for him in Baltimore.

02:38Cause they too are kind of an uncharted territory here in the whole coaching

02:42cycle.

02:43Let's see how that works out.
