Summary

Richard Sherman reacts to a chaotic NFL Black Monday as teams across the league make significant coaching changes, including the Las Vegas Raiders firing Pete Carroll after just one season and the Cleveland Browns parting ways with Kevin Stefanski, a two-time NFL Coach of the Year. Sherm analyzes the Raiders’ ongoing dysfunction and the Browns' reset once again and explains why the Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans face very different levels of opportunity for new head coaches. He also examines the Arizona Cardinals moving on from Jonathan Gannon, the Falcons firing Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot, and perplexing roster decisions by front offices — from Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. in Atlanta to Kyler Murray’s uncertain future in Arizona. Sherman and Mitch discuss Max Crosby’s frustration in Las Vegas, the Browns’ quarterback situation with Shedeur Sanders, and which top coordinators (Brian Flores, Jeff Hafley, Mike LaFleur, Clint Kubiak, and others) are ready for interviews. A comprehensive breakdown of every firing, every opening, and the real story behind the NFL’s Black Monday coaching chaos.
