The Packers made their biggest coaching move of the offseason, parting ways with wide receivers coach Ryan Mahaffey and hiring Penn State's Noah Pauley as his replacement. This isn't just any hire—Pauley is a rising star who interviewed for the 49ers offensive coordinator job last year, developed multiple high draft picks including Jayden Higgins and Jalen Knoll, and perhaps most importantly, coached Christian Watson at North Dakota State from 2019-2022. As a Minnesota native who grew up a Packers fan, Pauley brings both elite credentials and genuine passion for the green and gold. In this episode, we break down why this coaching change signals the front office's willingness to make bold moves when necessary, explore the potential impact on Watson's development and Matthew Golden's playing time, and discuss whether this hire indicates deeper frustrations with receiver development. We also cover extensive NFL news including the Eagles' continued organizational chaos with AJ Brown trade speculation intensifying, international games coming to Melbourne and Rio, Super Bowl injury updates, and the media industry's massive layoffs at the Washington Post. Plus, we examine free agency targets across the league, NFC North coaching changes, and why watching divisional rivals implode might be the best part of the offseason. Whether you're excited about Pauley's track record with Watson or skeptical about another coaching shuffle, this hire represents a clear departure from business as usual in Green Bay.

The callers are fired up tonight as we dig into the Brian Gutey press conference that left more questions than answers. How can you extend coaches and claim everything's fine while simultaneously admitting you don't know what needs fixing? We break down the Nick Gannon hire, the baffling Rich Bisaccia retention, and why there seems to be a massive disconnect between what the front office thinks and what fans are seeing. Omar checks in with a glowing Culver's review from his trip to Lambeau, while multiple callers express frustration with the "we got better" narrative when special teams has been bottom-barrel for years. We explore the injury excuse—$92 million on injured reserve compared to playoff teams with far less—and whether health alone explains the collapse. Plus, early draft prospect talk featuring Cole Wisniewski and Malik Muhammad, free agency preparation, and a deep dive into that intangible championship quality that feels missing in Green Bay. Ryan gets philosophical about the underlying factors that separate good teams from champions, comparing our situation to Brady's success and questioning whether incremental tweaks can solve systemic issues. It's a raw, unfiltered conversation about accountability, expectations, and what it really takes to get over the hump. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The phone lines are burning up tonight as frustrated Packers fans unload on everything from coaching accountability to cornerback attitudes. When one player says he hit all his personal goals while the team missed the playoffs, and another shows genuine humility about his struggles - which one deserves to stay? Tonight's callers dive deep into the uncomfortable reality facing this franchise. We break down why Bisaccia, Stenovich, and Butkus aren't going anywhere despite underwhelming results, and why making excuses isn't the same as making a defense. The cornerback debate gets heated when Chris from Alabama contrasts Nate Hobbs' accountability with Keyshawn Nixon's "I met my goals" mentality - and the numbers might surprise you about who actually played better. Plus, we tackle free agency priorities head-on. Is Justin Fields the answer at backup QB? Can we realistically upgrade at corner when only one rookie outperformed Nixon last year? And what does the Eagles' dysfunction teach us about appreciating what we have in Green Bay? The hard truth: you can't cut your way to a better roster. Somebody has to play, and the math on replacing multiple corners just doesn't work. Subscribe, leave a review, and call in next time to join the conversation.

The phones light up as Packer Nation processes the Mike Gannon hire and what it means for this defense. Callers dive deep into Gannon's "I don't have a scheme" philosophy and whether his ability to adjust on the fly could solve the problems that plagued Green Bay when Micah Parsons went down. Liz from upstate New York makes a compelling case for giving Gannon a shot, while the crew examines his dominant 2022 Eagles pass rush that produced 70 sacks. The conversation heats up around Rich Bisaccia and special teams—are injuries really to blame, or is it a discipline problem that starts at the top? Plus, Jeff Mannion's meteoric rise to Eagles DC in just three years raises uncomfortable questions about coaches who never get hired away. Dakota sparks a fascinating draft discussion: how many of our best players actually came from the first round? The historical breakdown might surprise you. And Nico from Idaho closes the show with an all-time pitch for drafting Jennings Dunker—the mullet-wearing, Culver's-loving offensive lineman who could become Tucker Kraft's new best friend.

Ryan dives deep into the 2026 Senior Bowl results and what they mean for the Packers' draft strategy. With the American team defeating the National team 17-9 in brutal weather conditions, the defensive prospects absolutely dominated, reinforcing the narrative that this year's draft class favors the defensive side of the ball. The episode kicks off with significant NFL coaching news, including the Eagles potentially losing Vic Fangio and notably considering Jonathan Gannon as a replacement, Raheem Morris landing with the 49ers, Mike LaFleur becoming the Cardinals head coach, and Sean Duggan departing Green Bay for Miami's defensive coordinator position. The bulk of the show breaks down Senior Bowl standouts position by position. Defensive MVP Zion Young out of Missouri emerged as a legitimate target at consensus pick 50, while small-school edge rusher Nadami Tucker looked virtually unblockable. Ryan explores the intriguing shift back toward speed rushing in Green Bay's philosophy following the Colin Oliver selection. On offense, running back Jaden Ott rehabilitated his stock after missing nearly all of 2025, and the interior offensive line group continues generating excitement with multiple mid-round options. Ryan also addresses the underrated need at wide receiver given Dobbs and Wicks' contract situations, highlighting 6'4" Notre Dame receiver Malachi Fields as the prototype Green Bay might covet.

Omar Kelly joins to break down the Dolphins' ongoing quarterback dilemma, highlighting that the team hasn't had a true franchise QB in two decades. He explains why Miami will pursue Malik Willis but questions whether they could be outbid, while also noting the team's unique insight into Willis from his time in Green Bay. Kelly isn't out on Quinn Ewers either, praising his development in the Dolphins' system and comparing him favorably to most QBs in the draft. The discussion looks back at past Dolphins QB situations and confirms that Willis won't sign if Tua remains on the roster, whose arm issues the team managed to keep under wraps.

The Heat dominated the Bulls while the NBA trade deadline looms on Thursday as Giannis rumors continue to swirl. Joe reiterates a familiar theme: the Dolphins desperately need a quarterback in a league facing a true QB shortage, and the new GM and head coach have a major rebuild ahead despite their Green Bay background. Meanwhile, the Panthers are shorthanded with key injuries, including Aleksander Barkov, as several players prepare to represent their countries in the upcoming Winter Olympics.

The Dolphins add a new defensive coordinator in Sean Duggan from Green Bay, but early reaction from fans and analysts has been lukewarm. Joe and the crew discuss how new coaching staffs naturally bring in familiar faces and why, ultimately, head coach Jeff Hafley will be the one calling the shots on defense anyway. The conversation shifts to bigger-picture questions about organizational dysfunction versus player performance, using Sam Darnold as an example. Spo continues to show his lack of trust in Kel'el Ware.

Hour 1 covers a wide range across the sports landscape as the Heat roll past the Bulls with the NBA trade deadline looming on Thursday and Giannis rumors continuing to swirl. With Super Bowl week underway, Joe circles back to a familiar theme: the Dolphins' never-ending search for a franchise quarterback in a league facing a true QB shortage, as the new Green Bay-influenced regime begins cleaning up a messy situation. The Panthers continue to battle injuries, including the irreplaceable Aleksander Barkov, while several players prepare for the upcoming Winter Olympics. The Dolphins also hire Sean Duggan as defensive coordinator, prompting discussion about new coaches bringing in familiar faces and why head coach Jeff Hafley will ultimately be calling the defensive shots. The hour wraps with broader NFL talk, including the possibility of an 18th game and coaching diversity questions.

Ryan dives into the latest NFL coaching carousel and what it means for Green Bay, including Jim Leonard landing the Bills DC job and Derek Ansley heading to Dallas. But the real conversation centers on a fundamental frustration: why won't the Packers publicly acknowledge their mistakes? With reports surfacing that Isaiah Hobbs may get cut, Ryan explores what genuine organizational accountability should look like versus the "everything was fine, we were just injured" narrative coming out of Green Bay. Breaking down the contrast between Jim Leonard's new opportunity and Green Bay's defensive coordinator situation Andy Herman's report that Hobbs is expected to get cut and what that signals about roster evaluation Wisconsin native Connor Sanger interviews for the Packers' quarterbacks coach position New linebackers coach breakdown: another soft-spoken hire or the right fit for Gannon's system? Jennings Dunker hype: the mullet-wearing Iowa offensive lineman stealing hearts at the Senior Bowl NFL Competition Committee considering video review for player safety penalties Ryan also covers Aaron Rodgers-to-Steelers speculation, Drew Petzing calling plays in Detroit, and Super Bowl injury updates for Darnold and Drake May.

Mike McCarthy is putting the band back together in Pittsburgh, and it's starting to feel like a football love story. The Steelers have hired James Campen as offensive line coach, are interviewing Scott Tolzien for OC, and reportedly pursuing Aaron Rodgers—all former Packers with deep McCarthy connections. Meanwhile, Green Bay is losing some coaching talent as Nathaniel Hackett heads to Miami and Sean Mannion makes a meteoric rise to Eagles offensive coordinator. The Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub has become a full-blown fiasco, with coaches threatening to skip the ceremony and LeBron James calling it "insane." Six Super Bowls apparently isn't enough when petty voters with personal grudges control the process—and it's making a mockery of every gold jacket in Canton. Plus, Rasheed Walker's arrest at LaGuardia Airport for a handgun in his luggage raises questions about his free agency future, and we dive deep into the Packers' draft prospect meetings from the FCS Showcase, Hulu Bowl, and College Gridiron Showcase, breaking down interior versatile linemen, small-school corners, and intriguing edge rushers that have "Packer" written all over them.

Mike McCarthy is putting the band back together in Pittsburgh, and it's starting to feel like a football love story. The Steelers have hired James Campen as offensive line coach, are interviewing Scott Tolzien for OC, and reportedly pursuing Aaron Rodgers—all former Packers with deep McCarthy connections. Meanwhile, Green Bay is losing some coaching talent as Nathaniel Hackett heads to Miami and Sean Mannion makes a meteoric rise to Eagles offensive coordinator.

The 94 WIP Morning Show reacts to the Eagles' new offensive coordinator hire Sean Mannion who was the quarterbacks coach in Green Bay last season.

The phones are ringing off the hook as Packer Nation processes the Jonathan Gannon hire as defensive coordinator. Is he the innovative fire-starter this defense desperately needs, or just another recycled name that fails to inspire? The callers aren't holding back tonight. The crew dives deep into what Gannon's reputation for intensity—including that story about punching a player—could mean for a defense that's been soft. Beer Chief Benny makes the case that Green Bay needs an ass-buster who won't tolerate the nonsense anymore, while Kyle from Madison breaks down why this might actually be the smart, low-ceiling-but-high-floor hire LaFleur needed. Plus, Rasheed Walker gets arrested at LaGuardia Airport for a weapons declaration gone wrong, the guys geek out over the possibility of McCarthy and Rodgers reuniting in Pittsburgh, and Ryan drops a brutally honest take: you can't draft your way out of underperformance when Xavier McKinney, Josh Jacobs, and Rashawn Gary all played below expectations. The talent is there—someone just needs to unlock it. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review. Hit us up on social media and let us know your take on the Gannon hire.

The Packers just made a massive move that flew under the radar, and it could change everything on defense. Ryan breaks down the hiring of former Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich as the new pass game coordinator and secondary coach under Jonathan Gannon. This isn't just another coaching hire—it's potentially the most overqualified defensive staff in NFL history, with multiple former defensive coordinators now working together in Green Bay. Ryan digs into Babich's coaching philosophy, his "SFP" mantra of simple, fast, and physical football, and how his approach to teaching simplicity could perfectly complement Gannon's complex schemes. Plus, learn why the Packers' shift toward more dime packages and three-safety looks could finally give pass rushers like Micah Parsons and Lukas Van Ness the extra half-second they need to wreak havoc. Also covered: the Browns hire Todd Monken, Bill Belichick's inexplicable Hall of Fame snub, Shrine Bowl standouts including potential Packers targets Brian Parker and Darrell Jackson Jr., and the latest NFL draft rumors heading into Senior Bowl week.

This week we put the tragic events and courageous resistance to tyranny in the Twin Cities in the context of our failing democracy. A new report from the Urban Institute shows that Wisconsin has fallen behind other states in income over the past 50 years, especially compared to our neighbors in Minnesota and Illinois. How does the failure of Wisconsin's economic policy relate to the vulnerability of democracy? We assess the role of the Democratic Primary for Governor, and the active involvement of organized groups such as Citizen Action of Wisconsin, in charting a new policy course that truly addresses the income and affordability crisis. We also give a detailed update of the data center controversies across the state. We invite all Battleground Wisconsin listeners to attend Citizen Action's Governor Forums in La Crosse, Eau Claire, Wausau, Green Bay, and Milwaukee.

Ben Roethlisberger said that McCarthy understands the Steeler way and thinks it's a great hire. Ben is happy the Steelers finally have an offensive head coach. The Steelers are reportedly hiring James Campen as their new offensive line coach. He worked with McCarthy as Green Bay's o-line coach from 2007-2018.

A potential scoop from Donny to start today's show after he got a text that Aaron Rodgers ‘will be back, period.' Do fans want this? Will this do anything for the Steelers? It feels like another case of kicking the can down the road. Rodgers said Mike Tomlin was the only coach he wanted to play for, but the Steelers hired the only other coach that would fall under that category in the form of Mike McCarthy. Why is there a fear of this team looking to the future? The Steelers and Mike McCarthy are starting to fill out the staff, including James Campen, who coached over a decade with McCarthy in Green Bay and is also a favorite of Aaron Rodgers. How do fans feel? Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Where are things at with Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates? Jason thinks there is a spot for Cutch on the team, but in what role? Jason gets a strong feel that McCutchen wants to play in Pittsburgh even though some people are telling him Cutch has a market around the league. Jason said Paul Skenes is the ‘hub' of the current Pirates team and it might be tough for McCutchen to face that fact. Jason mentioned that trading Joey Bart would open up a slot for Cutch to be the team's DH again at a full-time role. Would this permanently strain the Pirates-McCutchen relationship? The guys don't understand why Cutch doesn't want to try chasing a championship. Jason isn't sure if Cutch is good enough to be on a true contender's roster.

The Pro Bowl voting system has officially jumped the shark. Ryan Schlipp delivers a passionate breakdown of how Shedeur Sanders—statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in the AFC—somehow earned a Pro Bowl nod over Trevor Lawrence's 4,200 yards and 32 touchdowns. The analysis doesn't stop there, with Jordan Love getting snubbed despite being the third-highest graded NFC quarterback and Mike Jackson's inexplicable omission from cornerback consideration. On the coaching front, the Titans hiring Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator means Adam Stenavich's lateral move opportunity has closed. Ryan explores the implications: if the Packers were willing to let him interview, does that signal he's expendable? Plus, Sean Mannion's meteoric rise from backup QB to potential Eagles offensive coordinator candidate could reshape Green Bay's staff. The episode concludes with a fascinating deep-dive into defensive philosophy and what Micah Parsons means for the Packers scheme. Ryan breaks down the math behind time-to-pressure versus time-to-throw, arguing that elite coverage extending throwing windows may be more effective than constant blitzing—a perspective that could change how you think about defensive aggression entirely.

Mike McCarthy's emotional Steelers introduction gets some love, Caleb Williams' lucky streak gets dissected, and Ryan finally unleashes on the special teams disaster that's been plaguing this team. Plus, callers weigh in on Rashan Gary's future, the mythical "Super Bowl window," and what kind of staff Gannon might assemble.

Kapri Bibbs was raised by a single mom in a very large family which instilled his commitment to family and his faith. He relied on both to guide him through rough times as a kid and when his football talents began to turn heads. Kapri also realized his faith would teach him lessons when he made certain choices, like cheating on the ACT his senior year of high school. That was a choice that landed him in community college rather than with a big time football scholarship. But he learned and moved forward and eventually transferred to Colorado State University where he set a single season school record for rushing despite not starting every game. The following year, Kapri went undrafted in the NFL, but signed with the Broncos and spent six years in the NFL between Denver, San Francisco, Washington, and Green Bay. In 2019 when his daughter was born, Kapri decided it was time to be a dad, get into the music industry and continue his schooling. As of this podcast recording, Kapri getting a master degree at CSU. Listen to Kapri's conversation with the host of Cut Traded Fired Retired, Susie Wargin. To learn more about the host Susie Wargin, visit www.SusieWargin.com

The news dropped and we're processing it together—Jonathan Gannon is officially the Packers' new defensive coordinator, and the fan base has feelings. Tonight, callers flood the lines to break down everything from Gannon's Philadelphia success to his Arizona flameout, and why Jim Leonard not getting the job stings so much.

Chris from Alabama, Beer Cheese, Dakota, Omar, and more weigh in on whether this is a safe hire or a panic move.

The Packers pulled the trigger on Jonathan Gannon as their new defensive coordinator, and while the initial reaction might be mixed, there's far more to this story than Arizona's ugly record suggests. We're doing the deepest dive possible into Gannon's entire coaching journey—from his time learning under Mike Cassidy's aggressive Louisville defense, to working with Mike Zimmer's press-man schemes in Atlanta and Minnesota, to mastering Matt Eberflus's turnover-obsessed "HITS" philosophy in Indianapolis. This episode breaks down every defensive system Gannon has absorbed throughout his career and what that means for Green Bay's future. We explore the controversial timeline that may have cost the Packers a shot at Jim Leonard, examine whether this was a panic move after losing Christian Parker, and discuss why Gannon's two-year scouting stint might actually be one of his most underrated assets for working with Gutekunst. Plus, we tackle Adam Stenovich's interview with the Titans and what it says about how the organization values its coordinators, along with some thoughts on the ridiculous taunting rules that continue to plague the NFL.
