The Jump Around

Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt hold down the show once again with Matt Hamilton still battling at the USA curling national championships in Duluth. Jim and G get into today's news that the Packers have found their new QB and DL coaches, promoting Sean Mannion and bringing in former Patriots DC DeMarcus Covington. How much do these position coach hires mean, and are we confident that either will be good given Matt LaFleur's spotty history with assistant coach hires? They ask their first Siding Unlimited poll question -- Who has been better at hiring assistant coaches: Matt LaFleur or Dan Campbell? Why does it feel like a landslide for Campbell, does being a "culture coach" like Campbell lead to better success with assistants, and who are the most energizing head coaches? Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins JM&M for his usual bi-weekly appearance. Jim and Alex G talk with Evan about today's first Siding Unlimited poll question, asking if Dan Campbell or Matt LaFleur has been better at hiring assistant coaches. They also discuss the best culture-setting HCs and how they compare to LaFleur. Are fans insane for saying that LaFleur is close to being on the hot seat, and what are Evan's 3-4 criteria points that LaFleur and the Packers must achieve to avoid being on the hot seat in 2025? Evan *controversially* asks for his own Siding Unlimited poll question, asking which member of the Packers' "big three" is the best at their job: Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur or Brian Gutekunst? They have Evan react to his pre-season prediction that the Bucks would win the Finals and Dame would win MVP this year, but first Alex G surprises us all with his bizarre stories of being getting Oreos from his local dry cleaners and going to brunch with his pastor while growing up in Plymouth, Wisconsin!
