Joe and Dave preview the College Football Playoff matchup between Miami and Ole Miss, discussing Miami cornerback Keionte Scott's claim that the Canes are the most hated team in the CFP and what it says about this new era of Hurricanes football.

Evan opens a chilly Tuesday in NYC with Shaun Morash filling in for Tiki, and it immediately turns into a full-blown Giants coaching search argument. Is Kevin Stefanski the clear best option for Big Blue, or is he being overrated because the other candidates feel like bigger risks? Evan and Shaun go back and forth on Stefanski's résumé, the red flags, and why fans are split between “safe hire” and “dream hire” as names like Mike McCarthy, Brian Flores, and other coordinators get dragged into the debate. Then the conversation shifts to the New York Knicks after another ugly loss and a stretch of sloppy, low-effort basketball. Are the warning signs real, or is this just a January lull that good teams go through? Plus: a preview of what's coming later in the show, including reaction to James Dolan's appearance with Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle, and hearing from Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey.

We wrap up by debating who's the next coach to be fired and why the McDaniel-Tua era in Miami is officially finished.

“Does a half-inch really make that big of a difference?” That's the question that sparks a fiery debate on today's episode of The Ben and Skin Show as Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the Dallas Cowboys' offseason chaos.The crew breaks down the Cowboys' season-ending loss and what it means for their future:Draft Picks & Big Decisions: Sitting at picks 12 and 21, can the Cowboys turn things around without a second or third-round pick?Defensive Coordinator Shake-Up: Who's on the shortlist, and is Brian Flores really in play?The Brandon Aubrey Reality Check: Is the kicker everyone loves actually overrated?

Richard Sherman reacts to a chaotic NFL Black Monday as teams across the league make significant coaching changes, including the Las Vegas Raiders firing Pete Carroll after just one season and the Cleveland Browns parting ways with Kevin Stefanski, a two-time NFL Coach of the Year. Sherm analyzes the Raiders’ ongoing dysfunction and the Browns' reset once again and explains why the Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans face very different levels of opportunity for new head coaches. He also examines the Arizona Cardinals moving on from Jonathan Gannon, the Falcons firing Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot, and perplexing roster decisions by front offices — from Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. in Atlanta to Kyler Murray’s uncertain future in Arizona. Sherman and Mitch discuss Max Crosby’s frustration in Las Vegas, the Browns’ quarterback situation with Shedeur Sanders, and which top coordinators (Brian Flores, Jeff Hafley, Mike LaFleur, Clint Kubiak, and others) are ready for interviews. A comprehensive breakdown of every firing, every opening, and the real story behind the NFL’s Black Monday coaching chaos. All lines provided by Hard Rock Bet.

The Vikings are coming to Lambeau, and we're going deep on every aspect of this Minnesota roster heading into Week 18. First, congratulations to Jordan Love and Ronica on their baby girl announcement—now there's some extra motivation for the postseason push. We break down the JJ McCarthy puzzle: a quarterback who exploded against Washington and Dallas only to post his worst game of the season against the Giants. Is the mental shift Kevin O'Connell talked about real, or were those performances just bad defenses making a young quarterback look good? The concerning answer might be both. Justin Jefferson's numbers tell a troubling story—his 78 receiving grade marks a significant drop from his career 90-grade baseline, and the chemistry issues with McCarthy have created drop problems across the entire receiving corps. We examine why Jordan Addison's 14.6% drop rate and the overall offensive dysfunction could work in Green Bay's favor. On defense, Minnesota's aging unit features 30-plus-year-old players at nearly every position, but coordinator Brian Flores has them playing their best football at the worst possible time—for them. We grade every position group from Jonathan Allen's declining production to Harrison Smith's painful 37-year-old decline, plus the emerging threats like Dallas Turner and Isaiah Rogers that could cause problems.
