Summary

On today’s show, Pat, AQ Shipley, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat about Jim Harbaugh allegedly having the choice up to him as to whether or not he wants to be the Head Coach of the Chargers, the masterclass that Aaron Glenn put on display against the Buccaneers on Sunday, if the heat behind Bill Belichick getting another Head Coaching job has slowed down, and everything else going on around the NFL as we prepare for Championship weekend. Joining the progrum is new Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Kalen DeBoer, to chat about the tumultuous times since taking the job, his pitch to keep guys within the progrum, getting used to everything at Alabama and getting his staff and guys in place, being on the recruiting trail, the expectations, following Saban, and much more (22:10-45:41). Next, 3x DPOY, Houston Texans Ring of Honor member, future 1st ballot Hall of Famer, JJ Watt joins the show to chat about Championship weekend, his thoughts on all 4 teams, his thoughts on all the coaching openings, why the Brock Purdy slander is weird, how much difference a new DC can make, and much more (1:03:26-2:03:08). Later, owner of the Utah Jazz, Ryan Smith joins the show to chat about the NHL considering his pitch to bring an expansion franchise to Salt Lake City, having the infrastructure in place already, and why Salt Lake City is such a compelling expansion city, plus how his Utah Jazz are doing as we approach the All-Star break (2:04:16-2:35:22).
