“Based on where the Chargers are from a roster standpoint, based on their quarterback, and based on his results, I mean, the guy, he’s here, and it is different. His teams look exactly the same no matter where he goes.”
2.) Raheem Morris (Falcons)

“He’s still young. It’s so rare that a guy would become a head coach that young and then have 14 years to kind of reset and grow.”
3.) Dan Quinn (Commanders)

“Honestly, it’s just the perception and the reality are like two such different things, right? The perception is 28 to 3…if you really dig into it. He built the Falcons into a Super Bowl team.”
