Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Eight and allied AT&T your world delivered our friend from ESPN had a chapter at a good morning Narnia. You strikes me as very very. The world -- I suppose. You can never get a consensus when you talked to NFL people. When you throw out questions like. Which team's gonna be undefeated at the end of the season you know what more likely in your -- from the best team minutes or who the best we can never get a bunch of people agree on although this week. I've seen consensus across the board as all of the talk shows. -- eruption around all NFL live. Which NFL team is the biggest mess right now and there is no other answer other than the Oakland Raiders. -- you know Cleveland gets them votes.

Exactly exactly and van -- I wondered this week. Would I rather be a browns -- the credit BA --

well the national organization of women as far as I can tell is not picketing the Cleveland browns' practice facility. Well it's it's. -- situation where -- fans don't know women don't care about that the you know I recommend to Mexico just and that I thought.

I didn't think he'd last the week Adam I really -- thought that that report you guys have any history and was sold damning that I didn't think cable would last the week he has. Are you thinking he survives the season.

I think he -- about a cease and I think we all would expect he won't survive beyond that I think that's. Certainly fair to say I think that he was done and I as a war is this support only cemented that but let's keep it might he would not charged with anything. With these reports he never had a civil case brought against him and while the net result is deplorable. And I emphasize that were deplorable. Again. He never broke the law with these cases and the problem is we packed and it's on to do what he went through with Brady hit an even though he was absolved of those charges. It doesn't look good and is a pattern of dictator here that's very disturbing. And certainly. Lead anybody to wonder if this man. Capable. To. We have football teams to take coach and I think that the raider fans had their answer.

You about the only thing he might have going for him is the mindset of Al Davis I mean I don't know Al Davis at all. -- never spoken Al Davis but I would suggest to you and Adam does of the 32 orders he might be the least. PR conch conscious and and and I think there's the sort of raiders against the world mentality that has existed. From forever. With that franchise that might in some perverse kind of way actually get cable to -- into the season.

I think we -- it didn't see didn't that maybe not at the end -- may be to recruit games left looked. At some point these coaches we don't you want to erratic start it's of these coaches that are available they can't go interviewed the hot young coordinators and usually out Davis likes to go. Interview somebody that's -- that nobody knows and yes it does have people like that but it there there may be a rush to go get. The Michael words in my -- hands and John Burns built towers of the world -- may see. So these moves so these firings. All the quicker this year than normal and I think that's one of the reasons that we saw that play in Washington why they were submerged shatter there. Jim -- initially you -- firing -- right around Thanksgiving yup shortly thereafter to me that's. The time when I asked a partial o'clock it's okay Michael -- begins right now right after Thanksgiving weekend. And I think that maybe even this year it moves up week herself.

I think they'll be fascinating to watch the process because you have so many high profile guys out there let's just say Daniel Snyder as an example. Wants to be the first guy in. I guess again taken enough money identified the one guy he wanted to say it's our. And and and takes a boatload of money and go to cower and says here -- can't leave the room if you leave the room deals off the table. But count on the other hand understands you know there may be something without -- or maybe something here there or someplace else. You -- guys holding out trying to play Daniel Snyder against Jerry Jones and Jerry Jones against -- in Cleveland.

Absolutely. Absolutely now. I think that's a smart move and they -- part at this point timeout. It could douse him make more dust -- want -- in the NFC the right right and we really indicate it it wouldn't shock me right now well.

Elbow but what we do we do know Washington is gonna make a move -- you know Cleveland Oakland we do know -- going to be about openings. But the problem is Adam. There's just as many former Super Bowl champion coaches. As there are good jobs available.

Politically you can get hot spot to watch you mentioned Dallas -- mostly Washington and Carolina buffalo Oakland San Diego. Tennessee Tampa. Maybe Cleveland they actually maybe Chicago. And I didn't approaching not does not last you're right. I'll. Just -- a step okay yeah I could I got a record but Dallas yet Washington. Carolina. Buffalo. Oakland. San Diego Tennessee. -- Maybe Cleveland maybe Jacksonville maybe Chicago maybe he's in -- twelfth OK so those teams. So other teams are gonna make a late push the play us. And absolutely.

So did a complete job enhance their country's standing immediately and -- an extension. Its job. I'm gonna -- of that struggle. I gained twelve places. But it can be changed. Only door. It's not it is a little surprise or 20. Okay so you're looking at all sorts of changes potentially. And -- Again it's no different than any of the year we've seen a lot of it lately we're gonna see more but in the future. And it just it it it it's been in that that that they that the latter job.

Adamant in your estimation what quality of these 45 high profile guys will want to make the Dan Snyder's. Of the world make goo goo eyes at them a minute look at collar as an example say this is a guy -- year in and year out have a very tough minded physical football team. That one and went deep into the playoffs even as they lost free agents all the time is able to plug new people went and coach them up to that level again. Would that be first and foremost in people's mind or would it be. More current Super Bowl winners. Your office of mine offensive minded gags --

What are they did have gruden a Holmgren.

I think every city in every franchise is gonna have its own preferences. And I think today if you you're Carolina -- said you wanted to change. And you -- what Bill Keller played North Carolina State is popular in that area who lives in that area. I I think that's more than makes a lot of sense a ticket you're the roster -- in Egypt Jordan. And you went the unproven coaching route and it didn't work do you want did you you don't -- go through it whether it's Michael -- or Mike Shanahan. Or whoever and I think that if you -- ballots. And you -- defense among likely to Phillips I -- it operates now. Yet Michael Rick or Mike Shannon certainly every situation is different circumstances different. And a lot of melted everywhere these cookie Wanda planned.

about Jeff Fisher would you add him to the mix he's.

Adams is not -- fire what two years that this contract I'd probably check a malicious agent permission to do six million dollars for each of the next two years after this year. LB twelve million dollars put out of does not need that money now what could happen this although like. Jerry George look at again and I hate to -- delta David playoffs and -- may keep his job but. -- you did you -- this particular occasion did you batters hit the elect Tennessee voted. Preserving procedure in US -- twelve disappointed to tighten their fans. You've got to take wheelchair for the next two years twelve million dollars -- not real happy -- of that money particularly coming up disputing that you pat. There's been to get -- 1516 years but we can't exchange. I'll take their contract off your hand and I'll give you at all second round draft. But Adams did that.

Yeah I think it would yeah this it's rebuilding time and for what.

They shouldn't sign up public Delis like these you -- which George did that. I think he would so there we can talk to the scenario that they can sense now we'll see how it plays out. And that he may go running errands it's 500 don't know host Dallas made at its job -- And these situations and circumstances they were talking about right now. On November 6 going to be very different in the situation or circumstances on December 6.

rest actually in your estimation and I know the most of these to be fired head coaches. Are going to find work someplace else as offensive coordinators -- assistant coaches are what are the case may be but I'm wondering is it possible. The has gone so badly remand genie in Cleveland and -- in Washington. That they might not get another job. I don't know I don't know I don't know we head coach I don't think we would anybody hire Mangini be head coach now.

Dalai I think he's done uses that job in Cleveland right I think into this episode this week put him to ever be difficult to get. To me particular situation like Dennis what you say again I pathetic -- tired of -- and as an assistant. Coach defensive backs. And and two years now -- just did he wanted to pay payroll for -- that there weren't fighting. That they could change until this season and they go with Eric and at the Internet back he's experienced -- that he rallied the team together. We showed that I don't see how we get another negotiate just attempts.

Topic at Florida international and yeah Isiah will take anybody. -- I was glad to hear you to -- is advice and appointed a team bosses that Favre was going agreement announced. They probably overlook that they did pay a lot of attention to a but do you think there's any way we asked -- this on Monday we. Anyway we'll see a repeat of last year when he was eight and three and in the 97 in -- coach's job just. -- mailed in the last month of the season. Was not chests. It was an aberration is completely committed here. Is he physically and mentally. Ready to go 161820. Games into the season.

I think what's funny and ironic about that whole question and it's question we've been asking since he -- Minnesota is that we talked about. The player that has to be most durable player in NFL history. And we're wondering whether he can last and rightly so because it happened last -- what did you -- she had the -- by independent digital about the same. It -- that stretched at CNET. I think is vikings team is better I think it's deeply distraught parents out there I think it's running game strong and -- their it's got more weapons to wide receiver and on special teams. And I think they're better team the softer division. I don't see that happening. I do wonder. Whether Favre can hope that failure like anybody else he's forty years old. You have to wonder should the vikings -- much of got to pitch count practice and preserve all the pros and he has his -- It brought to stay healthy. We're looking at one of those stories where he he can lead their team this year that there are can be the best community I think they're better -- for the new world.

the second best team in the AFC east.

Second best in the AFC east right now -- about adopts.

Who's gonna be at the end though I'm who'll finish and yeah I know the patriot gonna win it is probably no wildcard here either but. Who in the end will be the second best team in the division.

I I think -- had sent. I mean they beat the -- twice so they had that advantage attempted beat them by April game. And that may not be huge deal but the jets. -- a decent speed and they're pretty beat the patriots. Those two losses to total losses lamb really were major setback an organization right now.

At a we had so much enjoyment out of our little game we invented last week with you which of The -- dog games would you choose not to go to call Gus Johnson game of the week asked -- asked not at eight. Here's your choice. You can bull or aid Detroit at Seattle -- or you can avoid Kansas City at Jacksonville. You gotta go to one and you can avoid the other which is the dog of dogs.

Well -- okay this I would blow. Two Detroit Seattle only because Olympic Stadium in Seattle and -- you're looking -- no electricity in the air and it may be a better game. But I'll take the lions get the company alliance the struggling Seahawks -- atmosphere in the Pacific northwest agreed stadium. That capitol police coffee -- the stadium I think -- to make I can -- debt to.

I just had a special you have to go to Jacksonville in the C -- has blacked out yes yeah -- ticket everyone got. -- receipts of every other I don't know what times a game certain Jacksonville what time can you be there.

I I I don't have to be -- Olympia area. Right. I would all of -- destroyed Seattle game.

They got fired up over the Jacksonville jags win over Saint Louis. Doctor no but didn't -- now Adam tells the truth that you'd appears that you and more get along well it's music as. It'll come -- on united jealous of one of each other -- that's an act right.

While obviously basic guide -- here that you say that because it's the truth have been looked he has been incredibly superb he was. You know. Basically recruit me to ESPN he's been behind it he's been welcoming and gracious. And and a real pro and it's better. It's been an honor for me to get too upset about Sacramento got a cool. I think the morning. Because what -- what what he got a little element of the year and out of Baghdad and we -- and and -- we -- And and he's got great information and it's hard to sit down and have somebody else do you do that what do you watch for years and respect that. You sense is real.

I would place that's so different from John Clayton who we know you can't stand out like China. That's all we hear the week here -- Alan I can actually -- I don't jump to why it.

I'll believe you if these are believed that if you tell us honestly who you don't like.

Point. -- No biblical story that we relative estimates. Studio to another kiwi he would not talk is an instance. In April on I ballots. Yeah. Yeah that's that's. You know our state don't story this stroke. -- too much about it on to. Duplicate that disk -- was in the green room. The Monday. Few weeks ago and I've ever met for which are talking in. To articulate how saint Thomas went to mission together senior graduated this year. It is don't Betty that is white sorority. And able -- will be dedicated this that it and a ticket -- kinda -- iceman. Then two days later bank I was like wow.

Janet gentry looked less government forces on bag yeah only mode now all I'll start tenement and got to run very quickly what is the most valuable. Hard to get phone number you have in your Blackberry and part two what's the one that you want that you can't seem to get. Then -- got everybody's phone number. I know you're annoyed at what's the most valuable one in your new ones -- like him believe that I have you know.

And then. -- You haven't you want it at -- you have it and Tom Brady's one don't have right yeah. -- not I had a good -- and enjoy yeah evidently got had a separate dubious and joins us on AT and he outlined AT&T your world delivered.
