Can the Philadelphia Eagles find a way back to the Super Bowl? Yahoo Sports' Andrew Siciliano sits down with wide receiver Jahan Dotson to talk about the Eagles' chances in the playoffs. But first, Jori Epstein joins Andrew to discuss the aftermath of John Harbaugh's firing and what it may mean for Mike Tomlin's future in Pittsburgh. Later in the show, the duo breaks down how the Raiders can rebuild with the No. 1 pick and Jerry Jones' handling of the defensive coordinator opening in Dallas.(4:00) - Fallout of John Harbaugh firing: Lamar Jackson & Mike Tomlin(24:00) - Jahan Dotson joins the show!(32:45) - Raiders starting their rebuild(44:50 ) - Jerry Jones mentions Venezuela in press conference(55:05) - Can Titans GM keep bias out of coaching search?(1:05:00) - One More Thing
Thing Discussed: Most excited about the hire: there are adults in the room. Spent 20+ coaching in one place with no scandals. Impressed that they stabilized the program so quickly. Portal recruiting happens in December; they're playing from behind because IU was setting up all of these visits weeks ago. Notice they're getting special teams guys because Coombs was already in his job. Whittingham as Crisler (Brian: [moans]), as an established outsider who locked down Harmon to survive the transition. That was the end of the Yost Cycle, and likewise this is the end of the Bo Cycle. What happens next? How does he develop ways to take advantage of Michigan's place in the new world. Money allocation is a big conversation going forward. Indiana puts all of its resources into the portal, Michigan will pay a NOB and also pay a Rolder. New offense: Not a whole lot different under Harbaugh? Utah fans: "get ready to run QB Power!"...okay! "Tell your TEs to prepare to be blockers." Sure. "Don't expect any Seth: More Urban Meyer approach where it's about efficiency more than explosives. Loaded at OL, have great RBs. Main feature of Beck is he plays a "tight end" who's really a receiver. Brian points out JJ Buchanan is 6'3"/225 and only played five snaps inline—that's just a wide receiver. Point is they're way more spread than people realize. In Break: Ryan Mallett (RIP). Craig says Lloyd tried to broker a conference with Mallett's dad and Rich Rod, neither side was interested. Jay Hill: Has the bona fides, knows where the hashes are, made Weber State a power. Schematically, going back to more of a Cover-1 look. Notre Dame defense is similar, also a lot like the Ryan Walters stuff where they turn their 4-2 into a 5-1 regularly. Really wanted to keep Cole Sullivan (as a WLB who can DE or S) and Jordan Young (as a nickel who can S or CB) for this system. Think Jyaire or Shamari would be good in that nickel role. Biggest hurdle for this staff? Probably learning how to recruit as Michigan instead of Utah.
Tiki Barber doubles down on his surprising stance in the Giants coaching debate, explaining why Kevin Stefanski edges out John Harbaugh for him. The discussion centers on QB development, staff building, and long term upside versus the comfort of a proven track record. The guys dig into Stefanski's “boost factor,” Harbaugh's elite résumé, concerns about burnout, and why the Giants may need hunger and fire as much as experience in their next head coach.
Hour 1 kicks off with the Giants coaching search heating up fast. With names like Bill Belichick floating out there, Tiki Barber drops a stunner: he'd lean Kevin Stefanski over John Harbaugh. The guys debate QB development, offensive upside, and why building the right staff might matter even more than the head coach. Plus, the “sure thing vs bust factor” argument, Harbaugh's coordinator track record, and the one concern that could change everything: does Harbaugh still have the fire for a full rebuild in New York?
The guys put their reputations on the line by predicting the exact date and time the Giants' next head coach will be reported by Schefter or Rapoport, not the press conference, the real breaking news moment. From there, the conversation swerves into a brutal reality check on Bill Belichick. Is the greatest resume in NFL history suddenly irrelevant? They dissect why the phone might not be ringing anymore, how Pete Carroll's one and done stint changed league perception, and why age suddenly feels like a bigger factor than anyone wants to admit. Then it turns into a wide ranging debate on Harbaugh vs McCarthy, playoff failures, coaching “stench,” and whether history actually matters when hiring a Super Bowl caliber head coach.
What starts as a lighthearted detour into concert plans and feeling old quickly turns serious once Joe Schoen's latest comments hit the table. The guys debate whether Schoen basically admitted the Giants' best players are underpaid and if that kind of honesty helps roster building or risks irritating the locker room. From there, the conversation pivots back to John Harbaugh and why his decision may come down to far more than roster strength, including lifestyle, geography, and even old family ties to Cleveland. The segment heats up with conflicting reports from Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter on whether Harbaugh truly lost the Ravens locker room, and Tiki explains why both sides can actually be true. The hour closes with mounting fan anxiety that retaining Joe Schoen could cost the Giants their dream coach and shape the narrative around this hire no matter how it ends.
The coaching carousel gets even crazier when Mike McDaniel suddenly becomes available, and the guys immediately frame him as a potential offensive coordinator jackpot, not the Giants head coach. They break down why his scheme is so “nerdy” and QB friendly, why Jaxson Dart could benefit from that kind of detail and precision, and why Stefanski and Harbaugh still sit in a different tier as head coach options. Plus, the conversation swings into the staff building obsession, the Dolphins emerging as a real Harbaugh threat, and the chaos theory: when an upgrade appears, teams start firing coaches just to get in the race.
Hour 2 opens with some off the rails concert and weekend planning before the show snaps back to Giants business. The guys react to Joe Schoen basically bragging about how “cheap” the Giants' core is, and debate if that's smart roster building or a quote that could annoy his best players. Then it turns into full Harbaugh madness: why the Giants can't assume anything, what factors really drive a coach's decision, and the conflicting reports from the league's biggest insiders on what actually happened in Baltimore. Plus, the Joe Schoen question hangs over everything, fans fear it could cost the Giants Harbaugh, and the crew makes official date and time predictions for when the Giants finally hire their next head coach. They wrap with Belichick talk, skepticism about his “I'm happy at North Carolina” line, and a larger debate about age, perception, and whether one recent coaching flop changed the market for older legends.
Tiki is back and prefers Stefanski to Harbaugh. Mike McDaniel gets fired in show leading to more Harbaugh speculation.

The hunt for John Harbaugh is officially on as the Giants and Eagles emerge as frontrunners, while Antonio Pierce prepares for his high-stakes New York interview.

Plus, we explore a wild "EMF" conspiracy theory regarding 49ers injuries, Jerry Jones' desperate quest to catch Robert Kraft's ring count, and a nostalgic look back at the glory days of MTV and The Real World.

January 7, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 74 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Baltimore Ravens firing HC John Harbaugh on Tuesday and all of the fallout and related items associated with that move. We discuss candidates to succeed Harbaugh in Baltimore and much more. We also discuss whether Harbaugh's firing has any impact on the Steelers quickly deciding to move on from HC Mike Tomlin, should he lose in the Monday Wild Card game. After quite a bit of head coaching talk from around the NFL, Alex and I talk quite a bit about Steelers K Chris Boswell and his failed extra point attempt late in the Week 18 game against the Ravens. Specifically, we discuss that miss by Boswell being in the books as a blocked kick and whether the tape shows any conclusiveness to that being the case. We also discuss the confusion related to the initial official scoring related to the Boswell failed extra point attempt. Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger made an interesting statement on his Tuesday podcast regarding a recent conversion that he had with Boswell, so we make sure to discuss that briefly. The Steelers made a practice squad move on Tuesday, so Alex and I make sure to cover that transaction early in this show. We also discuss the Steelers roster officially being at 52 players as of Wednesday morning. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday and as usual, Alex and I parse all of the notable things that he had to say to the media. We discuss his comments on the team's health heading into Super Wild Card week. We discuss how healthy the team is right now and the possibility of a few players having their 21-day practice windows opened on Thursday. Tomlin talked about special teams play on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss that topic on the heels of the team's Week 18 win against the Ravens. We also go over what Tomlin had to say about the play of DT Keeanu Benton and DT Cameron Heyward against the Ravens. We make sure to cover Tomlin's comments on the team starting faster as well as what he had to say about the return from suspension of WR DK Metcalf. Alex and I begin our weekly recap of the All-22 tape of the Steelers' last game, the Sunday night home win against the Ravens. We start on the defensive side of the football and spend a lot of time discussing the play of several individual players. After thoroughly discussing the defensive tape from Week 18, Alex and I then do the same when it comes to the offensive side of the football. The 2025 All-Pro selections should come out on Friday, so ahead of that, Alex and I go over the list of Steelers players likely to receive votes. We also give our thoughts on the two players on the team that are most likely to be voted First-Team selections. This 110-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The numbers are staggering. John Harbaugh has won at least one playoff game in nine different seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, while the New York Giants have managed playoff wins in just ten seasons across the entire Super Bowl era. The guys dig into what that gap really means, how often Harbaugh has hosted playoff games, and why Giants fans are still dreaming of a January home playoff tailgate. The conversation then shifts to why Ravens fans turned on Harbaugh, breaking down the biggest criticisms from playoff failures and late game decision making to staff loyalty and late season collapses. Are those flaws deal breakers, or just the normal baggage that comes with any long tenured successful coach? Plus, a candid debate on whether Harbaugh is truly the best possible answer for the Giants right now, and why even elite resumes always come with real concerns.
Edward Cabrera is off the board, and not to the Yankees. With Ken Rosenthal reporting the Cubs land the hard-throwing righty, the conversation shifts to what this means for New York's offseason plan, why Cabrera made sense as a target (upside, velocity, control), and why the Cody Bellinger situation might be clogging up every other move. From there, it turns into a bigger picture Yankees debate: how badly do they really need another starter, what kind of trade is coming next, and what happens when the rotation logjam hits in May. Plus, the show veers into peak chaos with Harbaugh countdown talk, tanking jokes that can get you in trouble, and an all-time “take the L” moment as Sean gets called out on the Stefanski playoff win debate.
Connor Hughes joins the show to deliver a deep dive into why momentum is building toward John Harbaugh becoming the next head coach of the New York Giants. Connor explains why the process will take time despite clear interest, how the Rooney Rule factors into the timeline, and why Harbaugh has quickly separated himself from the rest of the field. The conversation digs into the power dynamic between Harbaugh and Joe Schoen, whether ownership would reshape the front office to land a proven coach, and how Harbaugh's presence would immediately change decision making inside the building. Connor also addresses competition from other potential openings, why the Giants are viewed as the most desirable vacancy, and whether candidates like Kevin Stefanski remain realistic alternatives. The interview wraps with expectations if Harbaugh is hired, from short term win projections to long term culture change, and Connor ultimately makes his call that all signs point toward Harbaugh and the Giants coming together sooner rather than later.
Hour 4: Connor Hughes Talks Harbaugh Sweepstakes, Shaun's Hat, and More on the Coaching Carousel.
FULL SHOW: John Harbaugh is exactly what the Giants have been looking for, Evan gives the pros and cons of Harbaugh as an HC, Connor Hughes joins the show, Cinco De Lunch-O, and much more.
Hour 3 focuses on the latest reporting around John Harbaugh and whether Joe Schoen will actually factor into the Giants coaching decision. With early indications that Schoen is not a roadblock, the conversation centers on power dynamics, long term control, and why Harbaugh would immediately become the unquestioned voice in the room for the New York Giants. The hour then turns to intense debate and caller reaction on what happens if the Giants miss on Harbaugh, whether first time head coaches are even sellable to the fan base, and why this hire feels different than recent searches. It all builds to a heated on air showdown over Kevin Stefanski, complete with audio receipts, arguments over playoff wins, and a real time dispute about honesty, framing, and taking accountability on the air.
John Harbaugh's playoff résumé compared to the Giants' last 20 years sparks a brutal reality check, then the guys break down why Ravens fans actually turned on him. From big-game failures and conservative decisions to staff loyalty and late-season fades, every criticism gets aired out. Plus, a surprise contender emerges as a real threat in the Harbaugh sweepstakes with Cleveland entering the picture, fueled by deep family ties and an all-time White Castle honeymoon story. Calls pour in on whether Harbaugh would even choose the Giants, how much money should matter, and whether Joe Schoen helps or hurts New York's case.
Hour 1 opens with a wild thought experiment: what if the Giants coaching market gets even crazier, with longshot names like Sean McVay or Matt LaFleur potentially entering the mix? With Shaun Morash filling in for Tiki, the show debates the core question every Giants fan is wrestling with: do you strike fast for John Harbaugh, or stay patient and let the full “historic” coaching class reveal itself? Evan argues the Giants cannot afford a waiting game where they lose Kevin Stefanski while hoping Harbaugh doesn't pick a more playoff-ready “mystery team.” The conversation turns into a full breakdown of urgency versus patience, Rooney Rule logistics, and whether the Giants should have been interviewing candidates weeks ago to get a true head start. Then it gets even messier: Jets fans start dreaming about firing Aaron Glenn for a tiny shot at landing Harbaugh, leading to a heated debate about realism, desperation, and whether a “secret backchannel” is the only way to even find out if a coach would consider the job. The hour wraps with a spirited caller segment, resume comparisons (Harbaugh vs McCarthy), and a preview of a deep dive into why some Ravens fans turned on Harbaugh in recent years.
The Giants coaching search takes center stage as early reports suggest Joe Shane will not be a roadblock if John Harbaugh seriously considers the job. The discussion breaks down why Harbaugh would immediately hold the power in the room, how this hire could future proof the organization even if Shane is gone in a year, and why fans view Harbaugh as a rare no bust option. The conversation also spins into classic WFAN chaos with on air debates, caller reactions, awkward office stories, and plenty of laughs along the way.
The Giants are caught between temptation and patience as the coaching market heats up. Evan and Shaun debate whether chasing John Harbaugh is worth the risk of losing Kevin Stefanski, and why this search could turn historic fast. Desire, panic, and power plays collide as the New York Giants try not to blow the biggest hire of the decade.
Everyone assumes John Harbaugh choosing his next job is a straight Giants conversation, but there is one team that keeps popping up as a legitimate surprise contender. The Cleveland Browns. The guys break down why Cleveland should not be dismissed, digging into the Harbaugh family's deep personal ties to the city, including stories passed down through Jim Harbaugh that reveal just how strong that emotional connection really is.
Host Brad Fowler reacts to a chaotic postseason as shocking NFL coaching news, College Football Playoff semifinals, and NFL Wild Card matchups take center stage. We open with a full reaction to breaking news just before recording: the Baltimore Ravens firing head coach John Harbaugh. We break down why the move happened, who Baltimore should hire next, why the Ravens instantly become the best NFL head coaching job available, and why Harbaugh now becomes the top coaching candidate on the market. Next, we dive into Black Monday fallout across the NFL, including the firings of Jonathan Gannon, Pete Carroll, Raheem Morris, and Kevin Stefanski. We discuss Arizona’s reset, the Raiders’ collapse, Atlanta’s long-overdue clean house despite a talented roster, and why Cleveland’s issues extend far beyond Stefanski — with the Deshaun Watson trade still shaping the franchise. In College Football, we preview and make picks for the CFP semifinals. We break down Miami vs Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl, Miami’s shocking win over Ohio State, and whether the Hurricanes can control the game or survive a shootout. We also preview the Peach Bowl rematch between Oregon and Indiana, revisiting their regular-season matchup, quarterback pressure, line-of-scrimmage battles, and why Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers may be the most complete team left. We close with full NFL Wild Card previews and picks, including Rams vs Panthers, Packers vs Bears, Bills vs Jaguars, 49ers vs Eagles, Chargers vs Patriots, and Texans vs Steelers. We break down key injuries, coaching advantages, matchup edges, and why several favorites may be on upset alert. From Drake Maye’s MVP-level leap, Trevor Lawrence’s late-season surge, Houston’s elite defense, and why Pittsburgh may be the weakest team in the playoff field — it’s a must-listen postseason episode.
