00:00There have been some major moves across the league over the past few days and the past few weeks.
00:05Specifically, when it comes to coaching, Joe, the most recent coaching hire was Mike McCarthy.
00:10For the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was officially hired over the weekend.
00:13We have still...
00:15Four vacancies when it comes to the remaining teams.
00:18Six of them have been filled.
00:20Initial thoughts when it comes to Mike McCarthy stepping in for Mike Tomlin as the new Steelers.
00:25Well, I'm not sure it's an upgrade, Tom.
00:28I mean, Mike McCarthy does come with...
00:30But you look at the last two years in both Green Bay and...
00:35Obviously, Dallas, and they fail to live up to expectations.
00:38And I actually believe this...
00:40The team is a little bit more older than maybe what the organization believes.
00:44I believe...
00:45It's a major rebuild for them to get back to dominance and challenge for an AFC.
00:50championship.
00:50I know Aaron Rodgers potentially might be reunited with Mike McCarthy.
00:55But again, is it any different than what we saw in Mike Tomlin?
00:59Yeah.
01:00Mike McCarthy could get the team potentially to 9-8 and 10-7, but he's not a defense...
01:05of guru the way potentially Mike Tomlin was.
01:07And again, his teams failed when he had...
01:10He had the quarterback and when he had the talent around him and he couldn't win and get to...
01:15a championship game or, more importantly, a Super Bowl.
01:19And that's the biggest thing.
01:20When you look at the Pittsburgh Steelers, can the new head coach get you...
01:25past where Mike Tomlin got you in the playoffs.
01:28Yeah, McCarthy...
01:30He can get you to the playoffs, but I don't think he can get them to a Super Bowl.
01:33And that's the biggest thing.
01:35Now, there are still four openings around the league for coaching the...
01:40the Browns, the Cardinals, and the Raiders of these four teams.
01:44Which do you think is...
01:45the most enticing because I think the obvious answer is the Bills, but knowing that a coach
01:49could step in...
01:50to the Raiders with some of the talent that they have with Bowers and Gentty and then having
01:53the first overall pick...
01:55there's at least something to be said about starting the rebuild and having all the chips
01:58in your corner.
02:00Oh, yeah, absolutely.
02:01And assuming that they take Fernando Mendoza with the number one overall...
02:05pick and don't potentially trade it away, you could have the big three, right?
02:10You have a dominant tight end, you have the running back, and you have the store potential quarterback...
02:15and all you need is the right head coach to coach up the talent and mentor it, but it is...
02:20the Las Vegas Raiders, they're a losing organization, and when you just look at the...
02:25head coaches that they're paying now, Pete Carroll, Josh McDaniels, and some of the others...
02:30John Gruden, I mean, they're paying, I believe, five head coaches that aren't coaching the team...
02:35So, again, when you look at the body of work and you look at the four teams that are left...
02:40I actually think the Bills and Arizona potentially are the two best jobs ahead of...
02:45Cleveland and, obviously, the Las Vegas Raiders.
