Summary
First, Robert is joined by the legendary Peter King to discuss the already-underway NFL Coaching Carousel, as teams start to fill the vacancies on their respective staffs, including the Eagles, looking for Doug Pederson’s replacement, the Texans, and the Jaguars, as well as some of the names in play, like Arthur Smith, Robert Saleh, Joe Brady, Brandon Staley, and Urban Meyer.
Then, The Athletic’s own Sheil Kapadia returns to the show to do a Wild Card Weekend postmortem on the teams that were ousted from the playoffs, including the Seahawks, Bears, Colts, Steelers, Titans, and the Washington Football Team, discuss where they are right now, and what their respective futures hold.
