In a recent tweet, McAfee gave Cole a “legit contract offer” to be the assistant of Ty Schmit and Bost0n Connor. Schmit and Connor are two hosts of the Pat McAfee Show. The analyst also added that Cole will receive, “$22,000 a year. No benefits but you’ll be able to build your resumé.”

Schmit cheekily replied, “Hey Cole, I just clogged the toilet.. going to need you to go snake that thing with your bare hands.” Even Adam himself replied with,I’ll think about it… I’m kidding… I hate you.” To this, Schmit called Cole a moron.
