Josh mcdaniels will be named as the new coach he's got a local writer -- he's older and you've beaten at joining us live to talk about all the craziness going on in the national football is Ira. Affiliates from the field. Network millions of places. Would exceed animals and -- national funny mr. -- Guys ain't going to rent a favorite to record -- that was the the most discussion from Pittsburgh. -- There was great. There was you know call Bulls -- It was a pretty good Obama Hewitt from Buffalo of the Pittsburgh cynical ol' yeah yeah dogs it's beautiful here it's gorgeous effect on talk wear them out my front on so might -- is not there just Goldman Pedro to like periodic and it was. -- and we can we can cancel Bulls reservations we had to have you know we're talking bone at times. We cancel all that stuff that's out playoffs are you don't want a threat to a bad idea at a five star California this year at this time -- five different hotels no -- Canada. I was looking forward to such good eating at a boys down there ago. I enjoy let's get some audience cigars and -- some -- it's just an idea ousted out of some of the pros. Just begin to estimate this is a perfect. Spot for him based news his background and what he's starting with with Marshall with Roy hill -- A very good quarterback right now pretty good offensive line and -- solid left tackle to protect the minute you know yes that's the perfect spot if you're young coach.

Yeah yes couple things and that first of all young coach getting the first opportunity in and a lot of times. Have the opportunity itself is what is put front and center and yesterday and the job -- you know chance via head coach. The job availability. You take that because you get into the cycle you get that you get in the club sort of speak. But it really I think there's a lot of fallacy to that I think it should be the right job especially for a guy. Who is getting into this thing presumably for the long haul whose career. Path has been to work his way through the ranks and he's done it's so well is methodically -- You know is this coach's son has followed the right steps to get worry as and he found in and in this was a surprise the way this unfolded but he started out. Pursuing age I think the one that was most likely for him based on what I heard from. The person represents -- Bob LaMont was you know they were targeting this Cleveland situation. But he wound up with that the best of all available positions -- think of the offense -- think of what's. What pieces are there for Josh to work with and to really accelerate away -- the only difference the only thing I think he's he's got to deal with his following. Shanahan but you know the way it ended this past year for him maybe you know that's not that it's not that difficult he's he's not that Shanahan in his own right yet there there's there's somewhat of a legendary status that he achieved but. The thing was he achieved that long enough ago. That I I think there's some some gap between the last time the -- hand was perceived as a great coach of the Broncos. To the time that that there were impatient cranky angry Bronco fans saying. Somebody other than champ and I mean our emails I've gone through years or an admiration they get written Oberto. You know what that what I'm saying is though that they weren't but but what what they were looking for and look he gets him to back to back to back Super Bowl victories that you did that and and that's part of the legacy that that washes away. The you know the times that that. That the the team that the John Elway here with the final -- by giant's failures but Mike. Was attached to John and institute to such a degree. That I think. Again people watching this this team in following this team. Were ready to see something different and someone different. And I think Josh is a six steps into of a perfect situation because he brings. A whole new perspective it's not that's the Shanahan type of football. He may be perceived like -- Channing and good but honestly I think. The way he's been position is more elected John gruden -- more than Peppers now they're bringing in Mike Nolan. Embree and Mike Nolan and and not a coincidence that America's also were presented by Bob LaMont and Bob sold that as a package deal as I said I. I I was tracking this situation kind of right along and and and knew that they were there were trying to a couple couple things going around trying to -- Sell these -- skills -- Nolan could come along with say a Mike Martz also in this representation. Or Josh could come along with Chris polian. Bill Polian son is that you GM. Coach combination or as we have here coach defensive coordinator come. I what are you hear about Scott pioli in Kansas City done deal I'm here and it's it's really close to being done they're the that I think. Some details are are still being addressed. One of the things I heard while I was in Pittsburgh. Was and and some of those was presented this theory but it but it also was some whispers from within the a building there in Kansas City or aliens -- Herman Edwards and that at the -- bet that it would be poured in the goalies. Kind of on his desk of one of the first things is that he would part ways with firm and -- talk -- front. Which were Clark hunt would be an easier way to kind of deal with. Something that I don't think Clark wants to do and I think the other thing that's been -- difficult about the process. Lamar hunt Clark's. Late dad was more open about kind of sharing with the media. Process and how these things were going in there's been some frustrated people who cover the Chiefs who say they get very little or nothing. Out of Clark who operates. Almost exclusively out of Dallas and doesn't have that presence in Kansas City. So he's been able to keep this whole process away from Kansas City and and Scott to his credit in and it wouldn't be surprised it's got. Knows enough to keep the cone of silences tightest possible he he's he he can do this and do well no one even the closest people that I understand our car that -- mean the closest people Scott. Are aren't hearing from scatter or exiting an arm and outs of anything. On this process which is leading to a lot of belief that it's progressing. And that he will take over and then he will be to bring his own coach and I think the other thing it's being worked out by the way detail wise. Denny through your familiar with that name yet he's running the business operation Clark has said he'll be the business. Guy in charge of the Chiefs. And and Scott would run all the football side but I think they're they're trying to. Breakdown. That the separation of those duties and figure out exactly what that means so that that answers -- clear understanding going -- whose territory -- one.

repair record answers the pressure is recruit people who want to win. As a rabbit rabbit rabbit there -- a lot. It's you know what Mexico while the other thing too is it's it's a very intelligent. Football's finances -- really know there's -- have a while before -- depressed and they had a sure and ends of -- coat tree you know we've won over the years you can go back -- bull but he is consistent winning. And in expect. A lot of -- Absolutely there's a lot of pressure on -- this a marquee -- I mean this as a big time this that that's why Josh knew when he went into this open market. For jobs that he didn't have to -- settle for anything. That didn't maybe your right to -- didn't have enough pieces in the covered again compare Cleveland to this where you go where you're going to be Giants. Oh -- passed on going for the Washington right view it exactly that made it right he you know he didn't see the future there he'd see again what magic. Jay Cutler can mean what the receivers young receivers can mean what what the whole. Idea the chemistry. Put in place yet the defense needs a lot of work there's no question. That's been I think it -- think Shanahan they were pretty productive offense and pretty productive quarterback but but I don't think there's any shying away from pressure. In Josh mcdaniels might read on him. Is again growing up football growing up coaching football. When has he not known that feeling a proposal to six coat. I've put put but I think the atmosphere for it and and look what he did there he stepped into some pretty big shoes of Charlie Weis. And I had -- Shula was ballots. I agree I agree that he had the issue worn by Josh mcdaniels did push a lot of right buttons was train accordingly and respond accordingly and I think. Well let's put this what if there had been a drop off. Purses and incredible off the charts through the ceiling success of Patriot offense. Where where a lot of the outcry have been directed the this kid is this kid that looks like a fifteen year old couldn't get it over he goes through that -- You know. You have like well whatever but also it also had to manage the rest of the in the -- he had a trust this kid having so it's it would roll back keep out of it is different Yugo back -- you go back. Three years ago for a where he did not name him the offensive coordinator but he still -- it. I think that that -- that first year. I think it was tendency will be at the young -- juggernaut that -- they had received transition happen with -- if if history serves me correctly both with Bill Parcells and oh yeah except except at one point -- have -- Carter went -- right -- his victim -- exit again and opened her. -- I don't know what a bizarre story though I I mean so clearly you guys have to tell me this clearly he wanted out there he was done with like HC one broke him -- how it was at it and give it it was a actually a college game. Really 'cause that would -- it really comes back to me as a knock on the college game are excuse me and I'm BC to some degree because he is. -- job by no means that did that interview. Mean that he was even like Oklahoma and -- well less than 50% yet I got a chance that -- HE it's I heard I heard people near as it -- this interview with a real chance to get jobs he's going to lose his current position and the answer was if he has. Almost no chance in this job that I have a New York to a it was a Brett Favre -- the interview. I don't know well I don't know about the year and Barbara why are why -- you the -- McQuarters Green Bay and realize who's -- the worst years in my career and I don't want near me. I may -- may -- that maybe that was the the idea behind the scenes thing that I thought that was bizarre but it always going to flawless record. Crew -- in a totally different job duties and responsibilities of football coach. Or date night. You -- for its recruiting. And it's a lot spine. Because when we you don't feel a little it's. And earlier in the NFL you've got players from the beginning of the morning today in the college. And and the recruiting in the NFL is it's real simple during free agency you know you walk in in in you know -- we have to bring extra spark here for you mr. -- you know one -- for you mr. linebacker. So it's as simple as can be in and -- there's no. I think you know it's but I but at the same time. It's interesting when you hear urban Meyer talk about what he said Bob stoops before the BCS game did they not basically say. That they were not interest in the NFL because the attitude to a great degree college game. And what's been paid at the collegiate level. And your chances of controlling your feet a little better at the collegiate level as -- or so ago but -- how many years and -- victims -- that until Washington throw too broad knowledge but I thought -- colleges work. Paying then what what their pain now for Spurrier in Iraq and I was I was a five million dollar year job prospered from around -- doubts about the anatomy. Let's tip money that's the -- before we go to east RO. Both of the games -- it to all the games over the weekend I at least by tape. -- in Pittsburgh -- who like next week.

Like the Steelers I I think it's hard to beat a team and all three times in a row and I was all over Baltimore coming out of the wild card round thinking. They have as good -- the best chance of the wild card teams to go the distance. But. I think -- they showed some real vulnerability in that Tennessee game I know what's been there also beaten up now they're they're beaten up and and and their start right in and it's just start nowhere and no evidence that they write it it's all it's catching it it's catching nine. I've -- I've it's admired by but though they've run the ball well against the Steelers fulltime slippery in the regular season 405 yards each time combined. LeRon McClain and and Willis McGahee. And in the Steelers -- run well against them and but I think the Steelers O line has gotten its act together you could see the pride when when adversaries the offensive coordinator scripted out the first three plays yesterday they were all runs these guys all -- each other in the meeting Saturday night for the games that our practices on us and now they -- because it was a feeling of of mistrust -- that that they didn't have a similar benefits and since it's -- wall sure but able to San Diego versus. Verses of Baltimore but but I still think it it's significant and then I think. Can you talk I did not expect the ghost when that game -- I don't like Arnold story's been great battles and it out Arizona it much different game. There're there're -- better team in Arizona. But I think the Eagles are a better team period and come at them and so many different ways I think Donovan McNabb is playing with a real purpose he's he's trying to show.

Everybody's -- age but he was wells late in the game mentally. Right now because he's -- to -- about it who recruited to some different things. I'd bet we'll. Hopefully we'll get the documents. I look and visiting what you metal -- to -- that's. I like I like to see the Eagles -- occasional change -- one -- it is you know what though it is a great stories here in this room after what it integrates the integration of the Eagles out of -- if you you talk about what a -- can be -- and it was issues this year in the Middle East and they want to -- as we wanted it that my outlook -- And it's. Null and oh yeah and deposit your work on and homeless becoming a that we don't -- mr. Mike. And the guy -- but it army who winning. Vijay that stat about obese people and I am and I'm breeze in my hand it is. But it's like the stats -- this -- Natural order of well in the -- but overall yeah slightly and welcome to my side for perhaps for everybody uses it -- the TV set heard a press box and watches it and replicate yes there we -- bad I don't know one point that path -- I thought that was on my way up academy element in the -- development jobs now. I don't and I hope they live Buick victory QNFL. Films were.
