Mike McCarthy's continued ability to charm billionaires into hiring him despite (gestures to last decade of playoff exits) suggests we're missing out on what could have been a truly baffling political career

per Steelers tradition, Mike McCarthy will be relieved of his duties 19 years from now at age 81
January 24, 2026 at 6:53 PM
very impressed by the Steelers' ability to look at the Bills dysfunction and scream to the world "WE CAN DO IT BETTER"

upon reflection. i like what Mike McDaniel can do for Justin Herbert. i might love what he'll get out of Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal. this is a fit beyond "two football weirdos, together at last"

Mike McDaniel has everything he needs with Justin Herbert and Chargers
McDaniel's whole vibe is getting the most out of quarterbacks. Now he gets a stud whose stats and success have yet to match his game tape.

not sure if the Browns were ever seriously interested in him, but pulling out of Cleveland's coaching search to pound the rock and glasses of whole milk under Jim Harbaugh feels like an entire statement about the Browns
NEWS: The Chargers are expected to hire former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel as their next OC, sources tell me and Daniel Popper.

McDaniel has been a hot commodity this cycle, interviewing for both head coach and offensive coordinator roles. In the end, he opts for L.A.

alright so for Vanderbilt to win a national title we just need a former head coach to become a beloved on-air personality for about 3 decades before retiring in a way that makes everyone happy-sad

Woody Widenhofer, come through

"we win the national championship at Indiana University. it can be done." if Curt Cignetti can't motivate you to fix your shit this year, no one can

If Indiana loses because a team that never made mistakes made a bunch of them in the final 2 minutes of the national title game I am going to lose my mind
January 20, 2026 at 4:14 AM
Indiana you are objectively awesome on fourth down, why are you kicking there

alright let's talk about the new Dolphins head coach who, without Micah Parsons, engineered the league's 26th-best defense (but did win a Fenway Bowl)

ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Jeff Hafley, 2 years removed from college washout, will coach Dolphins
Hafley's Packers defense slumped through 2025 and especially after losing Micah Parsons. That didn't deter Miami.

January 19, 2026 at 10:51 PM
Jeff Hafley's 2025 Packers defense with Micah Parsons on the field:

0.014 expected points added (EPA) per opponent snap, 16th-best in the NFL, 9-4-1 record

Hafley's 2025 D w/o Parsons:

0.143 EPA/snap, 26th-best, 0-4 record

competition matters, but Miami doesn't have a Parsons
January 19, 2026 at 10:26 PM
any time you can hire the coordinator who generated the NFL's 9th-best defense with only four former first-round picks and one of the greatest edge rushers in NFL history through the start of his career, you gotta do it
