  Chris Jim Harball has interviewed twice now, once with the Atlanta Falcons, another
• 0:12
  time with the San Diego Chargers. And you know, in the quote unquote
• 0:16
  negotiations with Michigan paraphrasing, wants immunity from anything that has happened. Is it
• 0:21
  just a foregone conclusion Harball's gone to the NFL. It's just where I think.
• 0:28
  I don't I would not go as strong as that. I know everybody
• 0:32
  else is. I think he's gonna end up in the NFL. But you
• 0:38
  know, if he gets what he wants at Michigan. And I know people
• 0:42
  think it's like everything is done and it's written, it's it's not. It's
• 0:48
  you know, he's doing as much interviewing of the different teams as they're interviewing
• 0:55
  him. He finds the right situation he's comfortable with. Yes, he's gone,
• 1:00
  but if he doesn't, let's say they're only two that that that kind
• 1:03
  of interests him. But it's he's still got some issues. I don't think
• 1:07
  it's a done deal. I just think in the end it's probably gonna be
• 1:12
  that getting what he wants. But I do think the language in the Michigan
• 1:17
  deal is being discussed because he's got the leverage to do that. They may
• 1:22
  say no, and you know, he's in a situation where maybe he has
• 1:25
  to take less in an ideal situation in the NFL, you know what I
• 1:27
  mean. I think it's all part of negotiation. I think he's probably gone,
• 1:33
  but I don't think it's a definite thing, because you know, I've
• 1:38
  been through enough of these coaching search stuff that sometimes you'd think things are a
• 1:42
  perfect match and it just doesn't work out for whatever reason. So I would
• 1:48
  say he's gone, but I don't think it's it's a definite can With Michigan.
• 1:55
  I mean, you you would think that they're doing their due diligence,
• 1:57
  I mean, be it, you know, whatever candidate that might replace Jim
• 2:01
  Harball, you would think that, you know, from Brian Kelly to Sharon
• 2:06
  Moore, the offensive coordinator, they've already kind of done their homework on this,
• 2:09
  hadn't they. Yeah, Brian Kelly's not in the mix. Shiron Moore
• 2:14
  is going to be the guy, and so I think that's why their you
• 2:17
  know, their plan is going to be real simple. Now that's another scenario
• 2:23
  and it one that might they may not be, And I'm if he does
• 2:28
  leave, I'm very curious to see because again, just for people to understand,
• 2:31
  I know you do. But so that would open up a thirty day
• 2:35
  window for those players. Yeah, Now it complicates it because school has started
• 2:40
  on semester schools, so you know, but you've got a thirty day windle.
• 2:46
  But that only makes Sharon Moore, who's likely going to get the job
• 2:51
  anyway, all the more likely that he's going to get it. So I
• 2:55
  mean, if I were going to forecast who's going to get that job,
• 3:00
  if my Jim Lee's, I would put it as high as ninety five ninety
• 3:05
  eight percent that it's going to be Sharon Moore. That's going to be the
• 3:07
  best thing for them because of the job he's done and the creating of the
• 3:15
  continuity. In that continuity, fine, but he's got to be the guy
• 3:17
  long term. And I think in that ironic that the suspensions and that everything
• 3:24
  that's going to likely be the reason why he leaves Michigan is the very reason
• 3:30
  why I think all the Michigan powers that be and the fan base and all
• 3:36
  the important people that are decision makers. I mean, if those things didn't
• 3:39
  happen to Jim Harbaugh, they wouldn't have nearly as much confidence in Taran Moore
• 3:45
  because the way he's led the team in Jim's absence has been exemporary. And
• 3:50
  I know people made fun of the prime and all that that wasn't maybe,
• 3:53
  but you know so, I think that situation is set and the only thing
• 3:59
  would be maybe a couple of staff members might lead Chris. As we shift
• 4:03
  to this weekend NFL playoffs, you got four games. Baltimore taken on Houston.
• 4:08
  They're big favorite. San Francisco is a big favorite of the Packers.
• 4:12
  And then of course you got the Lions Bucks and Chief's Bills. That Chiefs
• 4:15
  Bills game should be a four quarterball game. The Lions Bucks should be pretty
• 4:19
  close on Saturday, though. The two heavy hitters, the Ravens and the
• 4:25
  forty nine ers, any chance that they might get upset of me. You
• 4:27
  look at what Green Bay was able to do to Dallas. I think that
• 4:30
  shocked everybody. Yeah, I think a lot of people were surprised. Although
• 4:33
  you look at Matt Lafleur, Matt Lafloor, Mike Lafloor, Mike McDaniel.
• 4:39
  All of those guys were with Dan Quinn in Atlanta. Matt lafor knew how
• 4:46
  to attack Dallas's defense, Dan's defense, and look, call it what it
• 4:53
  is. You can run the football on Dallas. They're a front running type
• 4:56
  of team that's got to play with the lead, and Green Bay did it.
• 4:59
  Are they gonna be able to do that against San Francisco That's gonna be
• 5:02
  a different challenge, a bigger challenge, and no doubt, but I do
• 5:06
  think that their receivers can get open if they can protect Love Well, who's
• 5:12
  played phenomenally well. Green Bay's receivers, Jordan Love played very very well.
• 5:18
  Defensively, They've not been all that good for much of this year. Obviously,
• 5:24
  with the lead, it was completely different last week. Played well,
• 5:28
  but I do think they've probably got a better chance. I'm a little bit
• 5:30
  surprised that the line was as high as it was. I think they'll keep
• 5:35
  it closer, but I certainly think San Francisco's got the big edge enough.
• 5:39
  I think Houston great game last week, but that's a defense that's built on
• 5:44
  speed and playing inside against Cleveland last week, utilizing that speed and the crowd
• 5:49
  advantage is something that's gonna not be there when they play on the road in
• 5:54
  Baltimore against a very two dimensional offense can run and pass with equal effectiveness,
• 6:01
  and obviously a great defense in very good special teams. That's going to be
• 6:05
  difficult. But see de Strahld is playing well. They're playing with house money,
• 6:11
  so I think they might make this game a little bit closer than people
• 6:15
  think. But I do like the two to one Seeds on patter and Chiefs
• 6:19
  going to Buffalo on Sunday afternoon, and the Bills a three point favorite for
• 6:23
  going by just looking at Vegas. Patrick Mahomes first time on the road in
• 6:27
  the playoffs, which is wild to even think about. Who do you like
• 6:30
  in this game to get to the AFC Championship. I like Kansas City because
• 6:34
  Buffalo is just banged up on defense, you know, I think, to
• 6:41
  me, that's the biggest concern I would have. I certainly like the fact
• 6:46
  for Buffalo that they're at home. Josh Allen is playing well. I think
• 6:48
  Joe Brady's done a phenomenal job with the getting the running game go. I
• 6:54
  think unless there's a tunnel win. I know we've got to be on weather
• 6:58
  watch again in Buffalo this week, but it's it's all about the win.
• 7:02
  The poll you can throw in unless there's a lot of win. I think
• 7:06
  we're going to see both quarterbacks throw it and throw it well, and I
• 7:10
  think it should be a lot of fun. I think Kansas City is just
• 7:14
  more sound on defense and healthier on defense Buffalo at home, so I think
• 7:19
  that neutralizes some of that. I think it should be a great win,
• 7:23
  but I you know, push comes to shove. I'm not going to be
• 7:25
  surprised either way. But I think Kansas City is better going in. And
• 7:29
  you know, I do think that Tampa has got a chance to have some
• 7:33
  success against Detroit moving the football. I think Detroit's defense is vulnerable and I
• 7:41
  think Detroit wins it. But I'm wondering, and I don't think this is
• 7:46
  going to be the case. But I'm wondering emotionally. That was such a
• 7:48
  huge game last week. Is I know you watched it and thought, that's
• 7:53
  just such a big lift for them. That's the second, the second playoff
• 7:57
  win for that organization in sixty eight years. It almost is like that was
• 8:03
  their Super Bowl last week, and there's so much more for this team.
• 8:05
  This is a game they should win. I think the offense will be too
• 8:09
  much, but they're gonna have to protect Jared Golf. They're gonna see a
• 8:13
  heavy blitz pressure from Todd Bowles and if you Brits Golf, it's a lot
• 8:18
  different games. So I think Detroit has to neutralize it again with the running
• 8:22
  game. So I do like Detroit, but I think Tampa has got a
• 8:26
  much better chance than I would have ever thought, maybe going two to three
• 8:30
  weeks ago. And then it's not because I think pampas all that good,
• 8:33
  but I do think that they can cause some problem situationally on offense end defense
• 8:39
  against the Lions. Chris Landry make sure to find him on Exit Landry Football.
