  Speaker 1: weekend for your New Orleans Saints. After Aaron Glenn accepted
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the Jets job late last week, we found out on
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Saturday that Joe Brady was like, ah good, Joe Brady
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: decided he's not going to pursue the Saints head coach opening. Instead,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he'll stay in Buffalo as the Buffalo offensive coordinator. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: most most guys that are coordinators have head coaching ambition.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So the opportunity to go interview for a head coaching
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: job would be pretty cool. If nothing else, go get
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that experience going through the interview process. Even if you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: don't get it, your name's on the radar and kind
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of in those circles. Even more so, when you're talking
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: about a guy that had been part of this organization,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You've been in that building with that GM, that front office,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and he's like a good didn't even interview. And then
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on Monday, Aaron Glenn was introduced by the Jets and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you can go listen to watch the entire Aaron Glenn
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: press conference. But from a say, I don't really care
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: about the Jets. From the Saints perspective, this is the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: only thing you need to hear.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Players that's here. Now, put your seatbelts on and get
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: ready for the ride. Put your seat busts one to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: get ready for the ride.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: There are going to be some challenges, but what challenges
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: becomes opportunity gets opportunity. But here's what I do know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: We're the freaking New York Jets, so we're built for
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: this shit.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Listen. I want this job.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I interviewed for a number of them, but I wanted
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: this job.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Mmm. First of all, I love the energy he's got.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He's got Dan Campbell bite their kneecaps energy. The difference
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is Aaron Glenn was the first round pick. Was like,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it was a really good prep. Hey Dan Campbell play,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. Dan Campbell played and his dog,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But I mean Aaron Glenn was the first round pick.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Was good anyway. I love the energy. But you heard
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: him say interviewed for a lot of them, I wanted
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: this one. That's another guy who had been in your organization,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: whether as a player and as an assistant coach, familiar
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: with how things are going, and was like deuces, I'd
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: rather go to the Jets. They're more dysfunctional organization historically
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the NFL than the Jets. That's where he wanted
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to be instead of your place. Took that job before
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: even did an in person interview. And when I keep
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: hearing from a lot of people today or really since
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Saturday with the Joe Brady news man, it's bad optics,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: bad optics for the Saints. Now, maybe maybe we're just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: arguing semantics here, but y'all, it ain't optics. It's reality.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Optics can be phrased as to say it looks worse
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: than it is. It's a bad look. This ain't a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: bad look, this is a bad reality. We did this exercise,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what's two months ago here, where we look at all
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of the open jobs and jobs we thought would be
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: open in Wade the pros and cons. The Saints are
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a bad job. It's not optics, it's your reality. Look
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: at the salary cap for next year. The New Orleans
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Saints currently fifty point two million dollars over the cap.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's dead last in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: forty eight point four million dollars in dead cap contracts
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: for next year. That's the most in the NFL. Look
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: at your most expensive players against the cap next year.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Old, Cam Jordan Old, Taysom Hill Old coming
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: off an injury. Eric McCoy good player coming off an injury.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Play season to Mario Davis. Love him thirty six years old.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Ryan Ramchik twelve million dollars, not playing anymore. Y'all, Your
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: roster is old. This ain't optics. You are the twenty
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: eighth oldest roster in the NFL. Only the Steelers, Niners,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Vikings and Dolphins were older than you. You're old and expensive.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Your quarterback is Derek Carr or Spencer Rattler or j Kyner.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Let's assume it is Derek Carr. He's made the playoffs
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: twice in eleven years. He's seventy seven and ninety two
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: as a starter. That's a four to fifty five winning percentage.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: He is what he is like, you're not a desirable job.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you got a gum smacking
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: GM who keeps driving the organization into the ground, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the owner doesn't seem to care for whatever reason, she
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: has this allegiance to him. Whereby he is teflon. He
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is completely fail proof. It don't matter how many times
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: he crashes this car into the ditch. She's gonna just
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: let him keep getting behind the wheel. It's Mickey, Nick,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: did you crash the car again? Oh you totaled at
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: this time? Why well you better not total the next one. Mick.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We got our eye on you, you little knucklehead. Let's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: go get some ice cream. That's what it feels like
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: with Gail Benson right now. What other general manager in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL could manage this, this gigantic, steaming pile of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: crap and keep their job with absolutely no repercussions. It
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: boggles the mind. But I've said, I'll continue to say,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: when you looked at twenty twenty six, the Saints will
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: be a better situation. Now let me both let me
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: not be presumptive. Mickey could go screw the pooch on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this entirely in this offseason, and he could go get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a bunch more expensive contracts and restructure deals and put
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: yourself in any worse situation in twenty six, twenty seven
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and beyond. He could, or they could look at this situation,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: realize how bad they are. Push push the reset button.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Like when I was a kid, my brother was beating
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: me in Contra or Techmo super Bowl, and I would
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: instead of taking my all, I just go hit the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: reset button and then we'd fight. We'd end up like
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: punching each other and spit on each other and chase
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: each other around the yard because that's what boys do.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: At least that's what we did, and my mom would
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: yell at us, stop fighting your brothers. You've gotta get along.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I still think the best option at this point is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: retained Aaron Rizzy tank. Then next year, when your CAP's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in a better situation and you have a top five
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: draft pick where you can go draft your franchise quarterback,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you can actually go hire someone who will want someone,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a really good coach who will want your job, because
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: ain't none of the people you want want your job,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because it ain't a good job right now,
