00:00Who's going to get the Jags and Saints jobs?
00:04Yeah.
00:05Mike McCarthy is the name to watch for the Saints.
00:07He worked there many, many years ago.
00:08I know he's very well liked by Saints people.
00:10And the Jaguars, this one is fascinating.
00:13Liam Cohen was the favorite to get the job.
00:16The Bucs, I was told on Monday, they talked to the agents and said, hey, what can we do
00:22to keep them?
00:23They met his price.
00:24He stayed.
00:25I give Cohen credit.
00:26It's hard to turn down a job.
00:28It was my second or third rated job.
00:30Bears was number one.
00:31That got filled by Ben Johnson.
00:32Keep an eye on Robert Sala, who worked there many, many years ago, the former Jets head
00:37coach.
00:38Right now, he's got a real chance to get there.
00:40A couple other names.
00:41But the shocking story, Scott, how about Trent Baalke no longer being the Jaguars general
00:47manager?
00:48He was in on the interviews.
00:49They didn't get Liam Cohen.
00:51Ben Johnson did not give them a second interview.
00:53That didn't bode well for Trent Baalke.
00:55That situation is very, very odd.
00:58They announced that they mutually agreed to part ways.
01:01Listen, it's for rarely mutual.
01:04That was stunning at the timing of it, when the Jaguars made that announcement.
01:07That was a very odd one by Shotka, the owner of the Jaguars.
01:11So keep an eye on Robert Sala.
01:13He's very well, I'm told, in their building.
01:15What about the Jets GM gig?
01:18They got their coach, but what about the GM?
01:21Yeah, this is surprising that Lance Newmark, the assistant general manager of the commanders,
01:26didn't get this job because he worked with Aaron Glenn in Detroit.
01:30Aaron Glenn, the new head coach of the Jets.
01:31It's a little surprising.
01:32Now, the Jets are having second round of interviews.
01:35They have a couple more lined up.
01:37But Newmark was the early favorite.
01:39He hasn't gotten it yet.
01:40And he's a guy that was with the Lions over two decades.
01:42And he was very helpful in the turnaround with GM Brad Holmes.
01:46But that job is still open right now, Scott.
