Preach Kev Preach w/ Rashad

This week on The Prophets, Kev and Rashad break down the Dallas Mavericks hiring Dusty May as their next head coach after leading Michigan to a national championship. A fascinating twist of Dallas pairing May with former Michigan star Morez Johnson while continuing to build around Cooper Flagg. Is this the start of something special in Dallas, or are the Mavericks taking a massive gamble on a coach with no NBA experience? Then we head to Portland, where the Trail Blazers filled the league’s final coaching vacancy by hiring Micah Nori. While many around the league respect Nori’s basketball mind, the contract details have people talking. Later, we discuss the Julius Randle sign-and-trade to Brooklyn and what it means for the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves. How does this impact Anthony Edwards’ championship window? Did Minnesota get better, worse, or simply more flexible as they continue trying to build a contender around their superstar?We also dive into the blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to Miami. What do we love about the deal? What concerns us? Did the Heat finally land the superstar they’ve been chasing, and did Milwaukee get enough in return?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

The coaching carousel is officially spun. We break down all the major head coaching hires across the league and debate which moves will actually matter. Rashad explains why Jim Harbaugh to the Giants is his favorite hire and why it sets New York up for long-term relevance. Kev counters with why Robert Saleh to the Titans could be the move that quietly transforms an entire franchise culture. We also ask the uncomfortable question: is there a coach here who might be one-and-done? Which hire feels rushed, forced, or doomed from the jump? Then we turn our attention to the Super Bowl. What does it mean for the league if New England wins? What does it say if Seattle takes it? Legacy talk, franchise direction, and the ripple effects either outcome would have across the NFL. Finally, we make our picks: who wins Super Bowl MVP, what swings the game, and what storyline we’ll be talking about all offseason.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

Mike Tomlin steps away from Pittsburgh, closing the book on one of the most consistent — and debated — coaching tenures in NFL history. We break down what made Tomlin great, why his standard never slipped, and how a run of seven straight postseason losses leaves behind an uncomfortable underachiever label. With the Steelers at a crossroads, we ask the big questions: What’s next at quarterback? Is a complete organizational overhaul necessary, or is this still a plug-and-play contender? Then the Prophets recap Wild Card Weekend, react to the biggest playoff storylines, and make their predictions for next week’s Divisional Round matchups as the road to the Super Bowl tightens.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

Round 1 of the College Football Playoffs is in the books, and we break down everything that mattered. Tulane and JMU get blown out by their opponents, while Miami vs. Texas A&M turns into a gritty defensive battle. We also dive into the back-and-forth thriller between Oklahoma and Alabama and what it tells us about both programs moving forward. Later in the show, we switch it up with a Naughty or Nice game, putting some of the biggest names in football under the microscope — the Falcons GM, today’s so-called offensive masterminds, the Patriots, Dan Campbell, and the entire AFC North. Who’s earned praise, and who’s ending the year on the naughty list?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

We celebrate a major milestone and look back on how fun and wild the journey has been. Then we dive into the college football world, taking a close look at Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin. We break down why the coaching calendar is so brutal—how coaches are expected to finish what they started while still juggling bigger opportunities. And with Lane heading to LSU, we ask the big question: What are the expectations… and can he actually win a championship? Later, we shift to the NBA and the Kenyon Martin vs. Draymond Green debate. But instead of getting stuck on who’s better, we get to the real point: most NBA players are role players anyway. Both guys have valid arguments, both had roles on great teams… so why are we arguing? We break down why the conversation should’ve never been about them in the first place. Tap in for Episode 400 — the laughs, the takes, and a whole new milestone.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

The Prophets react to the first College Football Playoff rankings — how big is the gap between Ohio State and the rest of the field? Then, the guys dive into a wild NFL Trade Deadline where the Jets set off a New York firesale. Did the Cowboys just save their season by landing Quinnen Williams and Luke Wilson? And was the Colts’ move to give up two first-rounders for Sauce Gardner a sign of desperation or a win-now statement? Lastly, the crew turns to the NBA as the Ja Morant situation in Memphis continues to spiral. Can he actually be traded — and which team would even want him?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.
