From the episode

I was scared to death that if Jameis Winston got benched, that McCarthy, it was going to be like rest in peace, likely and neighbors. And that fourth quarter actually gave me some optimism that if McCarthy's named the starter here moving forward, which I think a lot of us are assuming that's going to be the case.
