Joe and Dave react to the Ravens firing John Harbaugh and argue the Dolphins should make a strong push to bring him to Miami, noting the organization's history with the Harbaugh family. They push back hard on the idea that Tua Tagovailoa can return next season and thrive, pointing to his struggles on the field and at the podium. The conversation turns to whether Tua knows his time in Miami is over after being benched, emphasizing it was an organizational decision, not just Mike McDaniel's. The segment also looks at potential landing spots for Harbaugh and questions why three 49ers assistants are among the Dolphins' GM candidates

The Miami Hurricanes are set to compete in the College Football Playoff semifinals as they prepare for a dangerous Ole Miss team dealing with plenty of off-field distractions. Despite the turmoil, Ole Miss brings an explosive offense averaging 37 points per game and added motivation after Lane Kiffin's departure just before the playoff. The discussion highlights Miami's dramatic defensive turnaround from last season, crediting the unit's growth and consistency. The Canes are at their best when they jump out to an early lead, control the clock, and play ball-control football, with DC Corey Hetherman earning praise as a Coordinator of the Year candidate.

Hour 1 opens with Joe and Dave reacting to the Ravens firing John Harbaugh and making the case that the Dolphins should aggressively pursue him, pointing to Miami's history with the Harbaugh family. They firmly dismiss the idea that Tua Tagovailoa can return next season and succeed, arguing his benching was an organizational decision and a clear sign his time in Miami is over. The conversation also examines potential landing spots for Harbaugh and why Miami could make the most sense. The hour wraps with questions surrounding the Dolphins' GM search, including the growing list of candidates with 49ers ties and what it says about the franchise's direction.

Joe and Dave dive into the Dolphins' roster and offseason outlook, praising standouts like Rasul Douglas, Jack Jones, and De'Von Achane while noting the team's lack of game-changing talent. Jaylen Waddle becomes a topic of conversation as the Dolphins struggled to get him the ball this season, and Bradley Chubb is praised despite looming salary cap concerns, with ultimate decisions resting on owner Stephen Ross. The conversation shifts to John Harbaugh, with Joe and Dave urging Miami to “hand him the keys” and discussing his potential to build an organization, not just coach. They also break down recent quarterback classes and debate whether the Dolphins should draft a QB every year, stressing the need for bold, smart decisions to get the franchise moving in the right direction.

Brian Baldinger joins to weigh in on the John Harbaugh situation, the Dolphins' GM search, and Mike McDaniel's future, suggesting McDaniel might be better suited as a coordinator while still drawing head coach interest if Miami lets him go. He shares his thoughts on Michael Penix's talent versus his injury history and names Matt Stafford as his pick for MVP. The conversation also previews Miami's CFP semifinal against Ole Miss, highlighting Malachi Toney's versatility and the Hurricanes' running game strategy. Joe and Dave shift to the NFL playoffs, naming Jacksonville the hottest AFC team and picking Houston to upset Pittsburgh. The hour closes with one final look at the Harbaugh storyline before wrapping up the show.

Joe breaks down the Dolphins' 2025 roster, highlighting surprising standouts like cornerbacks Rasul Douglas and Jack Jones while noting that this year's rookies largely underwhelmed. He discusses the team's lack of true playmakers, with De'Von Achane standing out as one of the few exceptions. The conversation turns to Jaylen Waddle, critiquing how he's often removed from the game plan and why the team isn't getting the most out of his talent. Joe also praises Bradley Chubb, despite speculation that salary cap issues could force Miami to cut him, emphasizing that, ultimately, all major decisions come down to owner Stephen Ross.

Joe and Dave preview the Miami Hurricanes ahead of their CFP semifinal matchup with Ole Miss, highlighting Rueben Bain's dominance, Malachi Toney's limited role, and Akheem Mesidor's rising NFL draft stock. Joe emphasizes that winning two playoff games already makes this season a success but sets a standard for national championship contention. The segment also takes a look at the weekend's biggest NFL playoff matchups and gives praise for Aaron Rodgers' remarkable 2025 season at age 41.

Joe and Dave weigh in on the Dolphins' offseason, arguing that Miami should make a strong push to bring in John Harbaugh, “handing him the keys” to the franchise. They break down recent quarterback classes, highlighting the success of QBs from the 2024 draft, and Dave suggests Miami should consider drafting a quarterback every year. The discussion turns to the team's overall offseason outlook, the tough decisions facing Stephen Ross, and the need for bold, smart moves to set the Dolphins up for success.

Joe and Dave break down the biggest football and local sports stories, starting with the Ravens firing John Harbaugh and why Miami should make a push to hire him. They dive into the Dolphins' GM search, roster needs, and Tua Tagovailoa's uncertain future, while evaluating standouts like Rasul Douglas, Jack Jones, and De'Von Achane. The show previews the Miami Hurricanes ahead of their CFP semifinal against Ole Miss, highlighting key players and strategies. Joe and Dave also go over the NFL playoffs, discussing the hottest teams and biggest matchups, and cover local pro sports with the Miami Heat and Florida Panthers struggling on the road. Brian Baldinger joins to weigh in on Harbaugh, Michael Penix, Mike McDaniel, and the MVP race, adding expert insight to close out the show.

Brian Baldinger joins to break down the latest NFL storylines, weighing in on the John Harbaugh situation and the Dolphins' GM search and coaching uncertainty. He shares his thoughts on Michael Penix, praising his talent but expressing concern over his injury history. Baldy also discusses Mike McDaniel's future, suggesting he might thrive more as a coordinator while still drawing interest as a head coach if Miami lets him go. The conversation touches on the Ravens' commitment to Lamar Jackson and closes with Baldinger's take on the MVP race, naming Matt Stafford as his pick.

Joe breaks down the Miami Heat and Florida Panthers after tough road losses, highlighting the challenges both teams face. The Heat remain inconsistent, with flashes of talent but missing a true superstar to carry the team. Meanwhile, the Panthers also struggled in Toronto, and Joe discusses Aleksander Barkov's potential return, a grueling upcoming road schedule, and whether GM Bill Zito could make a move at the trade deadline to shake things up

The Dolphins add another name to their GM search with a Chargers assistant, a move that could hint at a potential connection to John Harbaugh. Joe and Dave discuss the best possible landing spot for Harbaugh, comparing Miami to other options like Atlanta and Tennessee. The discussion also revisits how Mike McDaniel managed to keep his job without Chris Grier and dependable quarterback play, winning four straight games despite major struggles under center. The segment wraps with a hard look at Tua Tagovailoa's contract, questioning whether internal loyalty outweighed what was best for the organization.

Hour 3 opens with Joe and Dave previewing the Miami Hurricanes ahead of their CFP semifinal against Ole Miss, highlighting Rueben Bain's dominance, Malachi Toney's limited role, and Akheem Mesidor's rising NFL draft stock. They also take a look at the biggest NFL playoff matchups of the weekend and give praise to Aaron Rodgers for his incredible season at age 41. The focus then shifts to local pro sports, breaking down the Miami Heat's inconsistency and talent issues and the Panthers' struggles on the road, Barkov's potential return, and possible moves at the trade deadline. The hour wraps with some lighter moments as Joe and Dave roast Jamie over his dating life, sharing stories from college recruitment and offering brutally funny advice.

Mego, Lyons, and Turp get into some potential rumors regarding Josh McDaniels and the rest of the Patriots' front office. Will the offensive coordinator get a head coaching offer and will he actually accept it? Then, everyone should hope the holy trinity of Mike Vrabel, Eliot Wolf, and Ryan Cowden stick together in the Pats' front office otherwise it could all blow up. And, more has come out about just how aggressive the Red Sox are to bring back Alex Bregman, but either way both sides need each other and should make it happen.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show with Meghan Ottolini, Jon Lyons, and Justin Turpin filling in on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026.

Joe and Hollywood debate the Dolphins' urgent need for a top quarterback, noting Miami won four straight games this season even with Tua struggling before McDaniel finally pulled him from the starting role. They discuss potential QB options, including Fernando Mendoza, who would fit well but is likely to be taken by the Raiders or Jets before Miami's pick. The conversation heats up as Hollywood brings up Lamar Jackson, sparking a debate over whether Miami could realistically land him and what it would mean for the franchise.

Hollywood's Headlines includes a look at College Football Playoff TV ratings, highlighted by the Rose Bowl averaging 23.9 million viewers. Joe shares a relatable moment from New Year's Eve, watching the Canes–Ohio State game while his wife wanted him to be more present at the party. The segment also covers Bengals head coach Zac Taylor complaining about the NFL stopping a game to celebrate Myles Garrett breaking the all-time sack record. Plus, reports that Russell Wilson hid an injury from the Giants this season and Tom Brady being spotted with Alix Earle.

Joe reacts to Mike McDaniel's press conference, saying he has no idea what the head coach meant when discussing the quarterback situation for next season. The conversation shifts to the Dolphins' GM candidate list, which is loaded with 49ers ties and raises questions about how much influence McDaniel's background is having on the process. Joe questions whether the next GM will truly have power or simply be brought in to work with the current structure. The segment centers on whether Miami will actually allow a new GM to put his own stamp on the organization

Joe and Hollywood debate Tua Tagovailoa's future, joking that any team willing to hand him another starting job is likely in serious trouble. They push back on the idea that Mike McDaniel should be retained because of a “strong finish,” pointing to the blowout loss to the Patriots as proof otherwise. Joe also expresses skepticism about Quinn Ewers as a long-term answer and highlights how Miami's lack of depth was exposed all season. The discussion turns to the Dolphins' GM candidate list, questioning the heavy 49ers influence and whether McDaniel's ties are shaping the process. The segment closes with a blunt outlook on Miami's future, calling it a messy rebuild made even harder by a brutal salary cap situation

Joe and Hollywood dive into the latest twist in the Dolphins' offseason, with reports that Mike McDaniel will be involved in the GM search — a move that raises plenty of eyebrows. They debate whether it's a strange look for a coach on the hot seat to have a say in hiring the next general manager and question how secure McDaniel's job really is. The conversation also touches on comments suggesting the head coach may already be safe and Tua Tagovailoa's openness to a fresh start next season as uncertainty continues to surround the franchise.

Kyle Crabbs joins the show to break down the Dolphins' offseason chaos, saying Tua's best chance at starting next year may be if Miami cuts him and lets him choose his next destination. He admits he's unsure what Mike McDaniel meant by being involved in the GM search, calling it unusual and raising questions about whether McDaniel will even return next season. Crabbs weighs in on the GM search, coaching situation, roster construction, quarterback options, and how the Dolphins should approach spending under the salary cap.

Alex Donno joins to preview Miami's CFP semifinal matchup against Ole Miss, looking back at the Hurricanes' impressive quarterfinal win over Ohio State.

Hour 4 opens with Alex Donno breaking down Miami's CFP semifinal matchup against Ole Miss, reflecting on the Hurricanes' dominant quarterfinal win over Ohio State. Donno praises Carson Beck's game management, Shannon Dawson's play calling, and the impact of Keionte Scott, Rueben Bain, and Akheem Mesidor on the defensive side of the ball. The discussion also touches on Canes fans growing restless as Miami hasn't added a quarterback from the transfer portal for next season. The focus then shifts back to the Dolphins, with Tua expressing interest in a fresh start elsewhere and questions remaining about Mike McDaniel's role in the GM search.

Hour 3 dives into the Dolphins' offseason chaos with Kyle Crabbs joining to break down the mess. Crabbs says Tua's best chance at starting next year may come if Miami cuts him, and he questions what Mike McDaniel meant about being involved in the GM search, calling it unusual and uncertain if McDaniel will even return. He weighs in on the GM search, coaching situation, roster construction, quarterback options, and how the Dolphins should manage their salary cap. Joe and Hollywood then debate the urgent need for a quarterback, discussing Fernando Mendoza's fit and the likelihood he'll be taken before Miami's pick, and sparking a heated discussion about whether Lamar Jackson could realistically land in Miami. The hour also touches on Dolphins dysfunction, offseason plans, and a Heat giveaway.

Hour 2 dives into the murky waters of the Dolphins' offseason, with Joe reacting to Mike McDaniel's confusing press conference about next season's quarterback and questioning whether the new GM will have real power or just work within the existing structure. The discussion expands to Miami's recent mistakes, including overspending on players, and the ongoing uncertainty around McDaniel's job. Joe also reflects on the NFL season, from Zach Wilson's struggles and surprise playoff omissions like the Chiefs and Ravens to Tom Brady's continued spotlight compared to Patrick Mahomes. Hollywood's Headlines rounds out the hour with CFP TV ratings, Joe's awkward New Year's Eve watching the Canes, Zac Taylor's NFL complaints, Russell Wilson's hidden injury, and Tom Brady spotted with Alix Earle.

We start the third hour diving into tonight's Headlines featuring Jaylen Brown's monster stretch, a recap of black Monday in the NFL, and the Red Sox remaining quiet while the rest of the AL East bulks up. Then, an irrational fear of Arcand's strikes up following a story in Rhode Island in the New England Nightly News. And, Drake Maye leads quarterbacks in most categories, but adding to Matthew Stafford's resume seems to be why the Rams' QB is the MVP favorite.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Monday, January 5th, 2026.

Supreme confidence from Jaylen Brown, NFL coaches suffering from Black Monday, and more crickets from the Red Sox included in tonight's Headlines.
