- What's up, good people. Touchdowns and Tangents here, TD is underscore tangents on Twitter and Instagram, Touchdowns and Tangents dot Com. Sorry, I'm once again without our regular drops. I swear I'm gonna get them next week. I just gotta, like b Dangle, putting my house back together post Christmas and find where the flask striver is. But yeah, once I do that, have everything back to normal. Anyways, we're once again not live because Speaker hates us. But whatever, we're day late. But there hasn't really been any football this week, so it's not like you missed much. And considering there were two major coaching hires today, we actually pretty much waited for the perfect time. As always, I'm joined by everyone's favorite NFL ticket operator, the quietest loud guy, uh, your draft analysis, your draft analysts, favorite draft analyst, UH, the man with no shortage of names. Kenny Saint James Barry. But not all y'all can call me Kenned. There's nothing, there's nothing Kenny likes more than an impromptu extended intro for no reason. Yeah, I don't know if you feel good. I appreciate that, but yeah, not all y'all can call me. I'm gonna assume you're a first name, and you've never goned me by my first name. That's crazy, that's disrespectful almost, Isn't that funny how that flipped? Weird? Kids? Everybody like you got called a nickname. You're like, I don't like that, and then you realize I actually liked that nickname. And now it's like everybody gets called everything but their name. Yeah, pretty much identify as everything but Kenned. I'm just kidding. I wouldn't want to be anybody for me, but be me that she will be lame. All right, Well, rest in peace, good rest in peace to a legend. Those are those of you, those of you who remember, if you do remember that two step infamous DJ. I don't know why the hell I'm figuring his name right now, isn't it dj unk or dj unk? Yes? DJ rest in peace? He was forty three, he passed, he died today, infamous and that was a local song, Like he had two local songs that went global and he's gone now twenty twenty five is not playing. They're not really caring what happens. People are just going. But yeah, that song is like the soundtrack to my my young adult adolescent life. Had to walk it out of my room earlier too. It was. It's kind of sad, but yeah, recipees to a legend from Atlanta, A real one we don't talk enough about. They talk about the one hit Wonders, But like Bro, they kept the streets hot, they kept the club like, they kept people in the clubs. Like for all the shit that gen zers give millennials, you sure do love our music. You sure to get turned up to our music. You sure to make bad life choices and give us bastard siblings to that same music that you swear that. Uh you're like, this is terrible, but you danced to it. You shook ass to it. You gave us stepsisters and step brothers to that same music. Yes, I'm looking at you, the entire Confessions album. But anyway, Yeah, just have to say that rest in peace. We lost a couple of people this year, all right. Moving on to the coaching hires, A bunch that happened already. Uh, the latest one just dropped a couple hours ago. The Cowboys hire their offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as head coach. Six. I really have no idea where this came from I don't understand how you fire Mike McCarthy, a super Bowl winning coach, only to hire one of his minions, an offensive coordinator who have been fired kind of disastrously at his last two places with the Jets and the Seahawks. So yeah, I don't really know what the Cowboys are doing. Hope Jerry Jones is not losing his mind, it doesn't have dementia and doesn't end up getting the Wendy Williams slash say treatment. That you're gonna get us thrown into a black site. But yeah, I'm going to Texas tomorrow. I need you to not like just say that, but yeah, thoughts on the shot and hummer hi, I mean, good for him? What are you gonna do? Say? No, it's not like he was ever gonna get another job anywhere else. Like literally, this is like unless he's another Jason Witton, I mean Jason, Uh, We'll still Jason. Why I'm not winning Garrett? Jason Garrett feels like another Jason Garrett situation where really he's just a head coach and title and that's it because it's still Jerry show. I don't know who is defensive coordinator is gonna be. But you gotta you got a team that's built pretty good. They got guiding in the first round. They've rebuilt that offensive line. You don't even talk about Tyrone Smith anymore. Like across the board. They've rebuilt that offensive line. They've rebuilt the defensive line. They just have to pay Micah. Their corners have to get healthy, you know, Darran Bland, Trayvon Diggs. They might sign more in the offseason, TCU safety. You know. I just think Jerry doesn't want to blow this up. I mean, look how old he is, Like you signed Dak, You're in this till the wheels fall off. So I would say, yes, this is a weird hire. I mean, but also you want to you don't want a big name. You just want a guy who's gonna get the job done. I wonder what he said in the meeting of what he would do different than McCarthy. To really kind of swade Jones. He probably was told him. Like like, he probably told him he's gonna just listen to him more. Honestly. He made Rico a star player this year. I mean, but the running back death was the steps back. The running back room looked like trash going into the season, the Henrico became a star player for the Cowboys offense so much so they cut Zeke so that yeah, yeah, but I'm saying, like the all the OC kept that offense going with Cooper Rush and Dack out, So it's like, hey, I'm the one thing holding I'm the one thing holding the offense together. I guess let me have the full reigns. We can be more aggressive. We can do things to actually help this defense. You know, they Cowboys don't need a quarterback. They could just take genty or they could just take you know, Eye Blue Carder. They could literally just load. They could strengthen their defense and then just build the rest of the team through the draft. And I think you probably if you're a guy like that like Shottenheimer, like, look, who my dad is. I made a name for myself outside of my father. The league kind of owed the shot and Hunter family. Let's be real, I mean been around the league for a while. Yeah on that, But I'm just saying, like, your dad got fired after going fourteen and two and never coached again, and then he eventually passed, he eventually died. The league owed the Shottenheiner family was old one, same way. Shanahan finally got it right, Like I'm not gonna hate because you know, the man elevated. Good for him. There were much better candidates. But Jerry wants what Jerry wants, and whatever vision he pitched. I think that's what Schottenheimer did. So good for him for keeping the OC job and getting the head coaching job. I would have I mean, I would have went with more personally. I mean, but you he's he's in Philly. Why would you go back? Why would you leave as the O C. You didn't they didn't. Want, they didn't want you to be a head coach the first time? Why would you. I'm not gonna live. I'm not gonna put myself in a position where you can reject me twice and then I lose out on potentially a Super Bowl opportunity with the Eagles because the Saints job is still available now. Yeah, Saints job was the last one left last time I checked. Yeah, so. All right, you know Jaguars hired uh Tampa Bay Buccaneers or see Liam. The Jaguars had interviewed a number of candidates. The Jaguars had interviewed a number of candidates, including Robert Saler and Patrick Graham. They ultimately went with Cohen. I think they were to say something about, we're. Gonna talk about the details of how he got hired, Y, let's talk about it. Feel like we should wait to talk about the details. Let's just judge it on its merit, all right. So keep in mind, Baker Mayfield is out on his eighth offensive coordinator in eight years, Lian Cohen, Liam Cohen. That's why the Raiders would have been perfect. Baker would have been a perfect Raider. They could have signed him, they could have revamped his team. He's not a free agent. He just signed. But when he was a free agent, they could have paid him when he had like no value, and they gave Minshew thirty million dollars, which I will never forgive. Yeah, So when it comes down to it, you know, Liam Cohen was off the coordinator for the Buccaneers. He made that offense go. Baker Mayfield said, franchise records and touchdown passes. I think he like was near up to the league. He was like leading the league in picks with
