This segment rips through a wild coaching carousel update: Jim Schwartz reportedly gets disrespected on his way out, then decides he's done with Cleveland and sits out, raising the big question of whether teams can still “hold rights” on coordinators the way they do with head coaches. From there, the spotlight swings to Jeff Stoutland's resignation in Philadelphia and why it screams dysfunction, especially after his run game coordinator role got yanked mid-season. The convo turns into “who benefits?” fast, with Jets and Giants angles, Frank Reich's connection, and the reality that if Philly blocks a lateral move, Stoutland might have to sit too. Add in the Eagles vibe check, AJ Brown trade chatter, retirement rumors, and suddenly the NFC East feels wide open, with Giants optimism creeping into the conversation again. Then it's calls: a Brady vs Belichick argument that spirals into a Jets-drafted-Brady alternate universe, why Super Bowls need luck plus infrastructure, and a reminder that the best Super Bowl is the one that is actually a football game, not a headline circus. Finally, the cherry on top: Brady's “no dog in the fight” gets compared to Russell Wilson's all-about-me feed, and the idea that Russ might secretly root against Seattle just to protect his own legacy.
Browns defensive coordinator resigned from his position, deciding not to remain on new head coach Todd Monken's staff after he was passed over for the job. It ends a tumultuous two weeks that capped the Browns' head coaching search. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe react to the news on this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. They start by talking about if there was a scenario where things could have worked out for Schwartz with the Browns and why it went sideways. Then they look at some of the Browns options to replace Schwartz. Will they look internally or will they find someone on the outside to replace him? They also talk about Myles Garrett winning his second Defensive Player of the Year award and Carson Schwesinger winning Defensive Rookie of the Year. Then they share their thoughts on the Super Bowl.

Hour 3 of the Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe break down the introductory press conference for new head coach Todd Monken and dive into the two biggest questions facing the Browns. First, they tackle the uncertain future of defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. After being passed over for the head coaching job, will he return? They discuss the potential for an “explosive situation” if a partnership is forced and whether Monken is equipped to handle the dynamic. With Schwartz's options limited to returning or retiring, the hosts debate if the Browns should let him go or hold him to his contract. Then, the conversation shifts to the offense and the murky quarterback room Monken inherits. The hosts explore the possibility of Monken fixing Deshaun Watson and salvaging the controversial trade, noting the coach's intrigue with the talented QB. They also discuss the supreme confidence of Shedeur Sanders and how Monken's tough, old-school coaching style will create a new dynamic and a potential two-man competition for the starting job this offseason.
