Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Shanahan

CrimsonCast / BHN continues its 2026 positional preview series with a deep dive into the Hoosiers' wide receivers and tight ends — two groups that will help determine how quickly Josh Hoover settles into Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan's offense.Galen Clavio breaks down what Indiana lost from last year's passing game, including Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper Jr., E.J. Williams, and Riley Nowakowski, then looks at how the 2026 group could be rebuilt around Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, Shazz Preston, and Tyler Morris. The episode focuses heavily on efficiency, alignment, drop rate, average depth of target, slot usage, contested catches, and why Indiana's passing game works best when the run game keeps the offense ahead of schedule.The second half shifts to tight end, where Indiana has a fascinating but unproven room featuring Blake Thiry, Andrew Barker, Brock Schott, Trevor Gibbs, PJ MacFarlane, and others. Galen discusses who might replace Nowakowski's do-everything role, who could emerge as a blocker, who may be the best receiving option, and why the first month of the season will reveal how much trust the staff has in this group.Check out our IU running back room preview podcast here.Check out our preview of the quarterbacks (well, really just Josh Hoover) here.

For the second hour of Stokely and Evans without Mark Schlereth, they rag on Stink for being gone and tell the tale of Poolside. Stoke shows off his 8-year-old phone. Sean Payton spoke about Mike Shanahan yesterday and it prompts the guys to share their stories of the greatest coach the Broncos have seen. They project how much playing time the starters will play in the first preseason game and hear what Sutton had to say about they WR room. The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where Jonah Coleman figures to have a limited role, load management comes to the Broncos, Riley Moss is developing his ball skills, and Drew Brees' top 10 case. 

In hour three of Stokely and Evans without Mark Schlereth, Stoke plays the role of Debbie Downer after Nik Bonitto came in at #32 on the NFL's Top 100 players list. They speculate why Courtland Sutton has been getting rest days lately. They listen to Sean Payton reflect on what made Mike Shanahan's offense so revolutionary. They wonder if the refs will ease up on Riley Moss this year and they wonder when he'll get his contract extension. Mike and Stoke wrap up the third hour looking back at Stoke's playing days and breaking down the problems with the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process.  

0:00 - Courtland Sutton was asked about his consecutive veteran rest days, and he said he's trying to be a "good soldier" and do whatever the team wants/needs him to do. He sounds like a guy who wants to be out there practicing, but is being told to rest. Do what you need to do to be fresh for a Super Bowl run, Court. That's all we need. 14:43 - Pablo Torre dropped ANOTHER bomb about the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers fraud scandal. There's ANOTHER company that was paying him in a questionable endorsment deal that allowed the Clippers to circumvent the cap. Come ON, Adam Silver! How much more evidence do you need??35:02 - Sean Payton will fly to Canton today to induct Drew Brees into the Hall of Fame. Somehow, Mike Shanahan is NOT in the HOF, which is a crime against football humanity. Yesterday after practice, Payton spoke about his relationship with Mike and his massive influence on the game of football.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Will react to the news of Ben Powers agreeing to a restructured contract. Does this restructure signify Powers will not be a camp cut this year? We debate what the biggest "what ifs" are in Denver sports history. What if John Elway never forced himself out of Baltimore when they drafted him? What if the Broncos beat the Ravens in the 2012 playoffs? What if the Broncos drafted Josh Allen instead of Nick Chubb? What if the Nuggets were willing to trade Jamal Murray for Luka Doncic during the 2018 draft? What if the Broncos didn't fire Mike Shanahan? What if the Nuggets won the 2003 NBA lottery and drafted LeBron James? We wrap up the show with what we learned in Denver sports today. Should the Nuggets be interested in veteran Demar DeRozan? What should we expect from the first week of Broncos training camp?

Galen Clavio and Trent McGee jump on CrimsonCast for an emergency recruiting episode after Lukas Prock, a 2028 four-star quarterback from New Jersey, commits to Indiana football.The conversation looks at why Prock's commitment feels like another major marker in the Curt Cignetti era. Galen and Trent discuss Prock's arm talent, sophomore production, top-five recruitment, and why Indiana beating out programs like Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida, and Ohio State matters even this early in the process. They also connect the commitment to the recent Monshun Sales news and the growing sense that IU's national championship momentum is finally showing up in high-level recruiting.The episode also gets into Mike Shanahan, Tino Sunseri, quarterback development, the differences between transfer quarterbacks and long-term high school recruits, and what it would mean if Indiana can start building future recruiting classes around elite quarterbacks.

Galen Clavio opens CrimsonCast's 2026 Indiana football positional preview series with the most important offensive position on the field: quarterback.This episode focuses on Josh Hoover, the TCU transfer stepping into the spotlight after Fernando Mendoza's Heisman-winning national championship season. Galen compares Hoover's statistical profile with Mendoza's pre-IU numbers, explains why the turnover concerns around Hoover may be overstated, and looks at how his experience, processing, quick release, and RPO background could fit inside Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan's offense.The episode also covers how Hoover stacks up against other major college quarterbacks, what his NFL Draft scouting profile says about his strengths and weaknesses, and how the backup picture could develop with Grant Wilson and Tyler Cherry.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The conversation started with Mark's days at Cal U, aka, Harvard on the Mon. Kaboom said he went to a lot of bowling alley bars back in the day. Mark has moved on to the coaching search and how Art Rooney and Omar Khan will handle this. Mark expects Khan to have ‘a lot of say' in the process. Mark feels like it will be a coach from the same cloth that Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin were cut from – mid-30's, first-time head coach and *possibly* defensive minded. Mark believes Art's son, Danny Rooney, will have input in the choice. Mark said right now Chris Shula feels like the favorite to be the next guy, just based on their history and the list of coaches they will interview. Mark said if they go with the defensive mind, that guy better have a young, offensive mind with him or have a really convincing plan to change the offense. Where does Nate Scheelhaase rank on Mark's list? Mark got into the challenges of commanding a room and being the ‘leader of men' it takes to be a head coach. Mark said Brian Flores was an intimidating figure and that players were ‘afraid' of him. More w/ Mark – There will, reportedly, be 3-4 more names added to the Steelers list of interviews. Mark feels like the initial 8 names are their main targets, but that's not to say the new ones can't surprise. Mark said Mike McCarthy is too old and hasn't coached in a minute, which makes him feel like they should stay away. If there isn't interest in Curt Cignetti, what about Norwin and Pitt product Mike Shanahan? Kaboom thinks Kevin Stefanski would be a ‘great' fit here because it's not Cleveland. Does Brian Flores have more options than Pittsburgh to be a head coach? What would be the pros and cons of a tank? More w/ Mark – Mark reacted to the stories of how the players reacted when Mike Tomlin told them he was stepping down. Kaboom is skeptical just how good Tomlin will be on television and if he's even all that interested. Mark isn't all that sure if he coaches again, but said the right situation would always do the job. Kaboly said Mike seemed like the same guy to him and wasn't ‘worn out' like a lot of people are saying. What could the staff look like under a new head coach? Kaboom thinks the entire QB room is up in the air, outside of Will Howard, who will serve as a backup at-best. Does Mark have any interest in Malik Willis? Mark felt like Cam Heyward may have hinted at retirement during the season, but his level of play would say otherwise. Is it time to trade TJ Watt? The guys asked Mark if he had any thoughts on the James Harrison disdain for Tomlin. Who was the big-name player that wasn't upset over the Tomlin news? Mark doesn't think it will be that much longer before the Steelers hire their guy.

TSN NFL Analyst Luke Willson joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the NFL, the Bills' defeat to the Eagles and going for the two-point conversion, the 49ers' massive win and Mike Shanahan leading coach of the year, the Steelers and Ravens' matchup to make the playoffs, the Packers' performances and more.

Galen Clavio opens the show with a handful of Indiana football news items as the Hoosiers await their Rose Bowl / CFP quarterfinal opponent — including the wild scene at Memorial Stadium's rally towel distribution, reflections on Fernando Mendoza's Heisman win, and why keeping coordinator continuity (including Mike Shanahan's extension and Bryant Haines on defense) matters for sustaining IU as a national power. Then Galen is joined by former On3 reporter Andy Wittry for a wide-ranging conversation about the college football landscape: Utah's groundbreaking private-capital partnership and what it could mean for athletic departments nationally, the Big 12's reported pursuit of private capital, the growing financial squeeze (including high-profile student-fee debates), and how the CFP is evolving amid ongoing political pressure from major brands like Notre Dame.

In December & January, college football faces a system in chaos—can the Indiana Hoosiers survive the transfer portal, NIL deals, and relentless poaching from elite programs? Jacob Goins and Brian Smith dissect Indiana's remarkable rise to the top seed in the College Football Playoff, led by Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza and Coach of the Year Curt Cignetti. They explore the NIL-fueled roster carousel, rising lawsuits over contracts, and the harsh political realities in modern recruiting.Award season has brought hardware to Bloomington, but does winning and player development still outweigh big-money offers? The hosts debate Indiana's strategy for retaining talent amid outside pressure, analyze Playoff matchups against Alabama and Oklahoma, and discuss the critical role of assistant coaches Mike Shanahan and Bryant Haynes.

Had someone told a young Tyrone Braxton that one day he would be a two-time Super Bowl Champion and earn a PhD in his late 50's, he would never have believed them. Had someone told him he'd get involved in alcohol, drugs, be arrested and almost lose his family… well, he may have believed that because that's what happened to everyone he grew up with in Madison, Wisconsin. The fact that ALL of that happened to Tyrone and he's now working to help young people avoid his pitfalls makes for an incredible story.   When Tyrone graduated from high school, two of his brothers were in jail and he was off to North Dakota State to play football. He helped the Bison win three National Championships during his four years and while he never thought he'd make it to the NFL, the Broncos took him with the 2nd to last pick in the 1987 NFL Draft.   During his two stints with the Broncos, Tyrone was part of two losing Super Bowls (XXII and XXIV) and two winning Super Bowls (XXXII and XXXIII). Both stints were like different eras between coaches (Dan Reeves vs Mike Shanahan) and position (Cornerback vs Safety).   When he retired, Tyrone was lost. He went to some bad places and in 2006 after he was arrested, he stood in front of the media and admitted he had a drug problem and needed to straighten up. It was his wake-up call and did he wake up. He finished his degree at North Dakota State, got his master's in social work at Metro State University and just finished his PhD at CU Denver. Now Dr. Braxton works with kids throughout Denver with everything from addiction, behavior, substance abuse, and every other pitfall today's youth can find. He's been there and understands.   Listen to Tyrone's story and conversation with Susie Wargin on the Cut Traded Fired Retired Podcast. 

Mike Evans and Scrappy Will Petersen open today’s show recap all of the amazing action we saw around the wide world of sports last night, from the Avs’ hot streak to the crazy buzzer beater in Chicago and the madness of the Sweet Sixteen. They get some “Is It Just Me’s” about the Nuggets’ seeding and a hypothetical between two of the Broncos’ biggest needs. Mike and Will debate which position is more important between tight end and running back. Mike and Will finish the first hour looking back at the tenure and downfall of Mike Shanahan. 

John Davis and James Merilatt sit in for Stokley and Evans today! Everyone in Colorado wants the Broncos to make the playoffs, but could reaching the playoffs actually send the front office the wrong message about the team? In 2002 Mike Shanahan got very upset with one James Merilatt. What was he upset about and how did James react to getting yelled at? Are we convinced that Sean Payton is the right guy for the job? Has his two years proven that or left a lot to be desired? We take a look at the best Prop bets for the Bengals and Broncos game and a build a fantasy roster with the two teams! James and John give their final predictions before the game and both may be already looking ahead to a win and you’re in matchup with the Chiefs even before Denver kicks-off tomorrow.  

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos win from last night. Can the Broncos surprise people and make a run in the playoffs? Where do the Broncos go at the starting running back position? Did Bo Nix’s great plays outshine the two interceptions? Is Nik Bonitto becoming a house-hold name across the country? Should Bonitto be in the defensive player of the year conversation? Today’s “Three Count” features Josh Reynolds getting released by the Broncos, Mike Shanahan getting passed over for the NFL Hall of Fame again, Shedeur Sanders gifting freshman Jordan Seaton a $200,000 car, and the massive viewership numbers for the NFL on Thanksgiving Day. Zach asks if we are seeing the best football from an old Bronco. Should Broncos Country be readjusting their expectations for Courtland Sutton?

Mike Evans, Brandon Stokley, and Mark Schlereth set the table with their favorite topics of the morning like Bo’s big boy accolades and Mike learning about the game planning process. Stoke recognizes some of his teammates on the list of Pro Football hall of Fame semifinalists, but he doesn’t see Stink’s name on there… The guys make a strong argument for Mike Shanahan to make the Hall of Fame. Mike, Mark, and Stoke finish today’s show with some good vibes about Bo’s development.
