Championship Sunday Fallout and the Coaching Carousel Spins On

About this episode

The episode recaps Championship Sunday games and discusses the ongoing coaching changes in the NFL.

Championship Sunday is in the books, but the NFL wasted no time shifting the conversation straight into chaos. We start by recapping both title games, breaking down what actually decided them, what mattered late, and how each team got to the finish line—or fell just short. Derek and Caleb walk through the key moments, coaching decisions, and performances that defined the final weekend before the Super Bowl. From there, the coaching carousel takes center stage. The Bills promote Joe Brady to head coach, the Steelers bring home Mike McCarthy, and the Ravens tab Jesse Minter to lead the next era in Baltimore. Meanwhile, the Cardinals, Browns, and Raiders are still searching, and the Broncos add another chapter to their offensive reset by firing Joe Lombardi. On the personal side, Derek makes the case for why it’s absurd that Bill Belichick’s Hall of Fame status is even a discussion, while Caleb takes a brief detour into Nebraska basketball. We wrap it up with Brodie Bets, revisiting both championship games from a betting angle and owning the results—good, bad, and painful—as the season nears its final act.
