00:02 - So give me some news on his brother instead.
00:06 - Yeah, let's give you news on his brother instead, Scotty.
00:09 Of course, Jim has been running around trying to decide
00:13 if he's going to stay at Michigan or come to the NFL,
00:17 come back to the NFL, of course,
00:19 after winning a national championship with the Wolverines.
00:22 He's going to have a second interview
00:25 with the Los Angeles Chargers coming up this week.
00:28 So when you get to that second interview,
00:30 usually things are cooking.
00:32 We saw Belichick have the second interview
00:34 with the Falcons over the weekend as well, Scotty.
00:36 So it's out there now, but what is he going to do?
00:39 How many times are we going to interview
00:40 before we make a decision?
00:42 You know, the Chargers probably want him.
00:45 Question is, does he want to go, Scotty,
00:47 I would guess at this point with Harbaugh?
00:49 - Yeah, I don't even consider it, frankly, an interview.
00:52 I mean, I consider it an ability to try to cut a deal.
00:58 I think it comes down to money and terms and contracts
01:03 and years and power and what control he's going to get
01:09 of the Los Angeles Chargers.
01:12 And he's also got another meeting,
01:14 allegedly, with the Falcons.
01:16 I said earlier, you heard that there might be issues
01:21 for Belichick down there with some of the people
01:23 that run the team, namely McKay,
01:26 but none of that's been proven
01:28 that he has issues with anybody.
01:29 But I cannot fathom that he went down there
01:31 and didn't get a deal.
01:33 You go down there a second time to do a deal.
01:35 Harbaugh goes to LA to do a deal.
01:38 He doesn't go out there to stay in a hotel near the airport.
01:42 He goes out there to do a deal.
01:44 And that's what Don Yee's supposed to do for him.
01:46 And I guarantee it's not about asking questions
01:49 like you were a 18-year-old kid coming out of high school
01:53 looking for a job or something.
01:55 I don't even know what to say.
01:56 I don't believe in, I really don't.
01:58 I don't buy into that second interview nonsense.
02:01 This is deal time.
02:02 - Yeah, and I guess it's also part of,
02:07 I guess, the way things work now, right?
02:09 Because you're seeing,
02:10 they're making these teams now interview 96 guys
02:15 so that you make sure that you comply with the Rooney rule.
02:19 And then you have to bring back another five guys
02:22 for a second interview.
02:23 We welcome it.
02:24 We welcome video affiliates coast to coast.
02:26 On a Monday, Sirius XM 159 Sports byline.
02:29 They bring all these guys in now for a second interview.
02:31 And now this week, you're actually allowed
02:32 to in-person interview assistants from other teams,
02:37 which I think is stupid, Scotty,
02:39 because, I mean, you're an assistant with the Lions
02:42 or the Niners or the Ravens.
02:45 You really want your coach here on Monday
02:47 as you're getting ready for your biggest game of the year,
02:49 Sunday, to do these interviews?
02:50 Make it next week when they're off.
02:52 Why are you letting them interview these guys this week?
02:54 It's beyond stupid.
02:56 - Yeah, I won't even exasperate anything else on that.
03:01 I mean, that's automatic.
03:02 You're right.
