Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter break down the latest NFL news heading into conference championship weekend, beginning with the Bears landing Lions OC Ben Johnson as their next head coach. What does it mean for Caleb Williams’ future, and is Pat right to claim there are some “Josh McDaniels vibes” to the move? Next, they discuss the Cowboys’ apparent interest in promoting Brian Schottenheimer, and if the Jaguars should zero in on Bucs OC Liam Coen. They also discuss Bobby Slowik’s future in Houston and C.J. Stroud’s struggles, Anthony Richardson’s work to address his throwing motion, and what Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford have left in the tank in L.A.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Rotorold football show on Tuesday, January 21st, 2025.
0:21.7	Remember the year yet again.
0:23.8	We're getting down.
0:24.9	There's 14s left.

0:54.7	the star of the coaching cycle. Taking a job that was not considered one of the best openings.
1:00.3	Considered the best opening, maybe you're going by young quarterback talent, the Bears ownership
1:04.7	and front office structure. It seemed like it's been a turnoff to a lot of head coaching
1:08.1	candidates, but Ben Johnson, who was extremely picky in 2024, turning down the commander's job, is now in Chicago.

1:16.4	We'll talk about a, you know, you don't talk about a dysfunctional head coaching opening, Denny, the Dallas Cowboys.
1:22.0	But people are lining up to take this job.
1:24.3	They just, they want it so bad.
1:25.8	They're not at all having,
1:33.5	being forced to recycle and retread some of the very worst NFL coaches of the 21st century.
