t's finally here—Super Bowl LX—and somehow the coaching carousel still hasn't stopped spinning.We kick things off with the latest NFL shakeups, including Todd Monken landing in Cleveland, Mike LaFleur taking over in Arizona, the Raiders waiting patiently for Klint Kubiak, and the Vikings making a surprise move in the front office. Plus, the Saints head to Paris because… of course they do.Derek dives into the Kubiak legacy and what it's meant for the AFC West, while Caleb lays out why offense continues to be the fastest way to land (and keep) a head coaching job in today's NFL.Then it's time for the main event: a full-blown Super Bowl prop bet draft, courtesy of DraftKings. Coin tosses, touchdowns, punts, safeties, Gatorade colors—if it can be bet on, we probably argued about it. This is less “sharp analysis” and more “educated chaos,” which feels right for Super Bowl week.We wrap things up with X-factors on both sides of the ball—from Cooper Kupp and Kenneth Walker III to Devon Witherspoon, Hunter Henry, and the specialists who might quietly swing the game—and finish with our final score predictions for Seahawks vs. Patriots.One last preview before the confetti falls. After this, it's just football, commercials, and regret over the props we didn't take.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

Why Monken, why now? The Bills promote from within after getting rid of Sean McDermott… they hire the guy who was learning from… McDermott… There are only 2 head coaching openings remaining, is Kubiak to the Raiders a done deal? :45- It's Wednesday and that means we start looking ahead to the next Seahawks opponent.

MATT HASSELBECK makes his Wednesday visit and we start with that win over the Niners last Saturday. It all started with the kickoff, but what did Matt think about the win from start to finish. Were Darnold & the coaching staff doing anything different last week to protect him and his injury and what should we expect this week? Ok, we have to talk about Matt Stafford and the season he is having- are we worried about facing him again? What does the Seahawks defense need to do to stop him on Sunday? The Broncos are in a tough spot, but Matt doesn't think the QB will be the issue in the AFC Championship. How is Matt feeling about the Seahawks chances on Sunday? :30- We're bring out the Cher-Coacherie Board! - No, we don't think Klint Kubiak's head coaching potential is a distraction for this team, but will Kubiak land in Buffalo or Baltimore when the season comes to an end? - Eric Bienamy is headed back to Kansas City and Mike McDaniel is headed to the Chargers as OC… now that's going to be a room of weird. :45- Yes, there's Stafford, there's Williams, but the one we really have to worry about slowing down is Puka Nacua. Can the Seahawks defense contain him this time? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buck’s Beat, hosted by Buck Belue, provided an update on the Atlanta Falcons’ head coaching search, which is being led by new team president Matt Ryan. Belue outlined why he believes the Falcons’ best path forward is hiring an offensive-minded head coach, pointing to Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as an ideal candidate. He discussed how Kubiak’s offensive approach could help maximize the Falcons’ talent on that side of the ball, while also emphasizing the importance of retaining defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to maintain continuity and stability on defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, continue to react to the news that former Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh and the New York Giants are working to finalize an agreement to make him their next head coach, continue to react to the reports that the Atlanta Falcons are reportedly going to interview former Las Vegas Raiders Head Coach Antonio Pierce, and explain why they think hiring a head coach like Klint Kubiak gives the Falcons the best chance at sustained success.
HR2 - Falcons can't meet John Harbaugh's demands; focus should be on Klint Kubiak In hour two Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue to react to the Atlanta Falcons announcing yesterday that they have completed an interview with former Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh and former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel, talk about how some of the head coaching candidates the Falcons have interviewed so far could also be candidates to be the Falcons next Offensive Coordinator or Defensive Coordinator as well, react to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle, continue to react to the Atlanta Falcons teasing on social media yesterday that new uniforms are coming in April, speculate on what the new uniforms could look like, talk about what they want they new uniforms to look like, and then close out hour two by getting Mike Johnson's top five Falcons Head Coach candidates in Mike'd Up!
The Atlanta Falcons are entering a brand-new era — and Buck Belue breaks it all down on this episode of Buck’s Beat. With Matt Ryan officially hired as the Falcons’ President of Football, the organizational structure in Atlanta has changed dramatically. The general manager and head coach will now report directly to Ryan, creating a three-person leadership model alongside owner Arthur Blank and the consulting firm assisting the search. In this episode, Buck explains: Why Matt Ryan is the right choice to lead the football operation How the Falcons’ GM search is likely unfolding behind the scenes Which executive candidates make the most sense for the general manager role Why former Ravens coach John Harbaugh is not a fit for Atlanta And why Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak is the best head coaching fit for the Falcons Buck details why Kubiak’s offensive philosophy, background in the Shanahan coaching tree, and experience with outside-zone and play-action concepts make him an ideal match for Atlanta’s current roster — including Bijan Robinson and Michael Penix Jr. He also explains why Kubiak’s rookie-head-coach status could be a positive, not a negative, for the Falcons at this stage of the rebuild. The episode also explores: The competition for top head coaching candidates around the league Why Atlanta may be a more appealing destination than Baltimore, Las Vegas, Phoenix, or New York The importance of pairing the next head coach with a veteran, cap-savvy general manager And how this new structure gives the Falcons a real chance to reset and build toward long-term success It’s a full breakdown of where the Falcons are now, where they’re headed next, and what this new Matt Ryan-led era could look like moving forward.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the Atlanta Falcons announcing that they've completed interviews with Seattle Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak, Miami Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver, Seattle Seahawks Defensive Coordinator Aden Durde, and former Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski for their open Head Coaching job, talk about who they would want to see as the next Falcons Head Coach out of these candidates, explain why they think Klint Kubiak's scheme already matches a lot of the personnel the Falcons already have, but whoever John Harbaugh's Offensive Coordinator is their scheme probably won't match the Falcons personnel, and they'll have to try to adapt their scheme to the Falcons personnel.
The Seattle Seahawks have earned their bye week as the NFC's top seed, and the dominance couldn't be sweeter. Mike McDonald's squad dismantled the 49ers in a performance that left no question about who was the top team in the NFC. T Jaxon Smith-Njigba capped off a historic season with 1,793 receiving yards—outpacing the entire New York Jets receiving corps—while the offensive evolution under Klint Kubiak has transformed Seattle from an explosive passing attack into a balanced team that others will fear in the playoffs. Charles Cross locked in a four-year, $104 million extension that looks like a very team friendly deal. The value only gets better when considering the contract takes him through age 30, giving Seattle bookend tackles with Abraham Lucas secured for the foreseeable future. Kubiak may have a future as a head coaching candidate. The Ravens job seems like a legitimate landing spot if he leaves, though there's zero interest in discussing coordinator departures while chasing a Lombardi. The wild card weekend brings a cursed Rams team to Carolina, where Dave Canales goes full circle back to when Seattle faced the Saints. We talk about the other playoff teams in the NFC and which could be considered "fraudulent." In Do Better, PFF takes a beating for rating Sam Darnold's solid performances against Carolina and San Francisco close to the same as Bryce Young and significantly lower than Brock Purdy. Arguments with AI also fall into the Do Better bin. Better at Life honors go to JSN and the Seahawks 2025 defense. Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.
