Summary
Peter starts the podcast with a Combine preview, explaining the "art" and the "science" of Combine week, and how it's so much more than just the drills you see on TV. Then, he welcomes 4-time Super Bowl champion Steve Spagnuolo to the show. "Spags" talks about being the only coordinator in NFL history to win 4 different Super Bowl titles, why the NFL's youngest defense in the league was able to rise to the occasion time and time again, and how past and present colleagues like Tom Coughlin, John Harbaugh, Andy Reid, and the late Jim Johnson helped him become the coach he is today. Specifically, then, Peter and Spags go into preparing for the 49ers offense before Super Bowl LVIII, and just how special Kyle Shanahan is as a play caller. Spags goes into great detail on the crucial 3rd and 4 stop at the end of regulation and how Nick Bolton had as much to do with the play as Trent McDuffie. He also defends Brock Purdy and explains why he was so impressed with the 49ers QB. Lastly, Spags goes through his previous opportunities as an NFL head coach and his aspirations to someday get that chance again.
