Ep. 976 - It's the first full week for Mike LaFleur as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. And as of Monday, he hadn't yet hired a staff, at least not officially. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the reported move of Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator and the different names reportedly linked to the defensive coordinator position. Putting a staff together is job one for LaFleur, who outlined what he's looking for in a staff, in personnel and in a team in separate 1-on-1 conversations with Craig and Dani late last week; both of which are now available on azcardinals.com and the Cardinals YouTube channel. First though, Craig and Dani give their thoughts on Super Bowl Sunday; no the game wasn't great, but that Seattle Seahawks defense certainly impressed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on the technique when it comes to wide receivers and George Paton's thoughts on not adding to the receiver room during the season. Why didn't we see Marvin Mims featured more in the Broncos offense? We react to an article detailing how the Seahawks first steps to appearing in the 2026 Super Bowl was the trade with the Broncos, sending Russell Wilson to Denver.

Wolf and Luke react to the Arizona Cardinals hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator and 2-time Super Bowl champion Max Starks joins the show.
The Dolphins retain several coaches from last season as the new staff begins to take shape, while former DC Anthony Weaver lands in Baltimore and, in Joe's view, is destined to be a head coach someday. The quarterback conversation takes center stage with speculation about Malik Willis, a mention of Aaron Rodgers given his connection to QB coach Nathaniel Hackett, and even a look at Marcus Mariota as a possibility. The discussion also highlights how quickly the Patriots turned things around from four wins to a Super Bowl appearance, along with Sam Darnold's remarkable journey to the big game after bouncing around the league.
Chris and Craig kick things off by breaking down the aftermath of a brutal winter storm that slammed parts of Ohio and Tennessee, leaving behind widespread power outages, icy roads, and exhausting cleanup efforts. They talk about how this storm stacked up against past winter systems, noting that the real problem isn't just the snowfall — it's the lack of warm weather afterward to melt the snow and ice. With temperatures staying low, driving conditions remained dangerous well after the storm passed.The conversation highlights how difficult things were for people who still had to be out on the roads, from essential workers to drivers dealing with untreated side streets and lingering ice. The guys reflect on how storms like this disrupt daily life in ways that go far beyond a snow total on a weather map.From there, the discussion pivots to the NFL, starting with coaching changes around the league. Chris and Craig praise Tennessee for bringing in Mike Vrabel and Brian Daboll, pointing to their leadership, experience, and ability to command respect in the locker room. They argue that proven voices matter, especially for teams trying to establish consistency and accountability.That leads into frustration with the Cleveland Browns and the possibility of hiring Nathaniel Hackett. The duo questions whether another young, inexperienced coach is the right move for a franchise that's already cycled through too many resets. They debate whether learning on the job is a luxury the Browns can afford.The Steelers' decision to hire Mike McCarthy also gets plenty of attention. Chris and Craig weigh McCarthy's Super Bowl pedigree and his past success with Aaron Rodgers against concerns about whether his approach still fits today's NFL.The episode wraps with a broader look at coaching trends, including the uphill battle faced by younger coaches like Hackett and the uncertain future of Eric Bieniemy. Experience versus upside, stability versus risk — it's all on the table in a wide-ranging conversation that blends weather, football, and hard-earned perspective.Check out my work at https://www.cleveland.com/staff/cpugh/Support the podcast at https://linktr.ee/ChrisPughEdits#WinterStorm, #OhioWeather, #TennesseeWeather, #PowerOutages, #NFLCoaching, #MikeVrabel, #BrianDaboll, #MikeMcCarthy, #Steelers, #Browns, #NathanielHackett, #NFLNews, #CoachingCarousel, #AFCNorth, #FootballTalk, #Podcast, #SportsDiscussion, #OhioLife, #WinterAftermath
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.

The Dolphins make headlines by hiring Nathaniel Hackett as quarterbacks coach, sparking debate about the team's direction at the position, including speculation about Malik Willis and whether keeping Tua Tagovailoa would be a distraction. Joe and Hollywood also discuss how quickly teams like the Patriots and Broncos turned things around and whether Miami can follow a similar path.
Hour 1 covers a little bit of everything across South Florida sports.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Bo Nix's history of injuries and debate if Broncos Country should be concerned.

In this heated segment from December 22, 2025, Marc Malusis talks with "John the Fan" and other callers about the state of a "rudderless" New York Jets franchise. Following an embarrassing 3-11 stretch under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, the discussion ignites over whether the team should pull the trigger on a "one-and-done" firing—comparing Glenn's struggles to high-profile failures like Brandon Staley and Nathaniel Hackett. The conversation shifts toward the future, debating if a top draft pick like Indiana's Fernando Mendoza or a star receiver can truly fix a team that hasn't seen the playoffs since 2010. Malusis weighs the value of draft capital against the obvious coaching void, exploring whether the Giants might actually hold the keys to the Jets' future in a potential draft-day trade for the ages.
0:00 - This Broncos roster is STACKED on paper. But will it be stacked in practice? It comes down to incorporating the new players. How will guys like Barron, Harvey, Hufanga, and Greenlaw slot into their roles on the team?20:10 - We have an update on Justin Fields' injury, and it's not as bad as it seemed yesterday. Also, Nathaniel Hackett has a job again! For real! Someone hired him! That guy must be a great interviewer.33:55 - We don't like Dan Lanning on this show, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. He has an idea to revamp the college football schedule and we totally agree with him.
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Bo Nix’s day today. Zach speaks to how different the Broncos are with Nix at the helm compared to when Paxton Lynch was “the guy”. Will the Broncos offense be able to catch up to their defense, as defenses usually have the upper hand early in the season? How will Bo be able to take a leap with him in full control of the offense and the Broncos being “his team”? We react to Nix coming at number 64 on the NFL’s top 100 players. Today’s “Three Count” includes the Morris twins being open to challenging the Jokic brothers to a boxing match and Nathaniel Hackett re-joining the Packers as a defensive analyst. The guys reflect on Hulk Hogan and how he transformed wrestling, as he passed away this morning.
George Paton hired Nathaniel Hackett and traded for Russell Wilson shortly after the Denver Broncos made him their general manager in 2021. Within three years, he had built a new coach–quarterback duo with Sean Payton and Bo Nix.From Randy Gregory and Teddy Bridgewater to Mike McGlinchey, Zach Allen and DJ Jones, George Paton's free-agent track record has become a roller coaster.In the draft, George Paton's spectacular selections like Pat Surtain, Quinn Meinerz and Jonathon Cooper easily outweigh misses on players like Greg Dulcich, Caden Sterns and Jamar Johnson.With two years remaining on his six-year contract, has George Paton earned an extension? Is there any pressure on the Denver Broncos to give the extension to him in the near future? Are there any more boxes for George Paton to check before the Denver Broncos commit to another half-decade with him at the helm?On the DNVR Broncos Podcast, Zac Stevens, Ryan Koenigsberg and Henry Chisholm are coming to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down all of the latest news in Broncos Country.

We talked about some of the terrible players Willie had as teammates or went against in practice. Gio called Nathaniel Hackett a jockey that rode Aaron Rodgers' greatness when he still had talent. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Gio's love of Dua Lipa. Jerry starts with Jameis Winston asking the lord to deliver him from pick-sixes. The Broncos beat the Browns in a shootout last night. Adam Schein is pumped up for Josh Allen. Mark Cuban was on the Hawk Tuah podcast. The Moment of The Day: The Jets loss gave Joe Benigno covid. In the final segment of the show, pics emerged of Jazz Chisholm smoking weed and drinking. A few years ago this would have been front page news. Willie is a Yankees fan and wants Juan Soto of course. As a Yankees fan, would Willie rather go to the Mets or Red Sox if he doesn't go to the Yankees? Willie said Toronto is a really great spot.
Hour 1 Willie Colon is in for Boomer today so it's Gio & Willie. They started with the fact that they were both at Hofstra together and then both in Pittsburgh together. We talked about the Jets situation with Aaron Rodgers. Willie said there's no reason to bench him as it doesn't do anything. Gio wants Jon Gruden to coach the Jets but Willie doesn't think that's a good idea. Willie wants Ben Johnson but Gio said there is no chance he's coming here as he will have offers from more stable franchises. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Broncos beating the Browns. Jameis Winston threw 2 pick-sixes. He also threw for 497 yards and 4 TDs. Jeff Ulbrich talked about why he's still confident in Aaron Rodgers. Rex Ryan wants quarterbacks to stop sliding and instead to dive at the defenders ankles. The Devils beat the Rangers, 5-1 (too bad Boomer is out today). In the final segment of the hour, we somehow ended up talking about Lamar Odom being airlifted out of the Bunny Ranch years ago. Gio said that's all he thinks about when he hears his name now. Hour 2 We talked about the Jets postgame show that's on SNY with Willie Colon and Bart Scott. A caller wants Willie to become an offensive line coach. Gio said Zach Wilson's pro-day is the one day that set the Jets back the most. Jerry returns for another update and starts with the sounds of Jameis Winston being hyped before the game into a 75 yard pick-6. One of two on the night. He did throw 4 TDs and threw for 497 yards. He asked the lord to deliver him for pick sixes. Shannon Sharpe made Ochocinco cry when saying bad things about the Bengals. Jerry brings up the ‘Golden At Bat' that is supposedly being talked about in MLB offices. Former Met Trevor May likes the idea. Jerry and Gio hate the idea, but Willie likes it. There's a big WFAN outing at the Islanders game this weekend. Gio goes over who was invited and who was not. In the final segment of the hour, Willie said people are always asking ‘what's wrong with the Jets?' whenever he's in the supermarket. Willie talked about feeding the animals in his backyard the same way Phil Simms does. Hour 3 Gio asks Willie Colon if the Giants should pull the plug on Schoen and Daboll or go for continuity? We also talked about the Miami Hurricane mascot trying to get a date with a Syracuse student reporter at the game. Willie said Bart Scott used to talk trash the entire game when the Ravens would play the Steelers. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Jameis Winston's night as he threw for 497 yards and 4 TDs, plus 2 pick-sixes. After the game, Jameis wanted the lord to deliver him from pick-sixes. Joe Benigno reacted to the most recent Jets loss. He said he got COVID from it. Some of the Lions ‘code words' were revealed on social media and Dan Campbell doesn't give a crap. Jerry has clips from Tom Brady on the Bryson DeChambeau YouTube golf channel. Gio thinks Brady is so boring and deliberate in what he says. Willie said that's who Brady is as a person. In the final segment of the hour, both Willie and Gio suffer from gout. We talked about Saquon Barkley having an MVP type season for the Eagles.

Chris Long reacts to the New York Jets organization firing their head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday morning and naming defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich the interim HC.

Chris weighs in on all that and then gives his opinion on the Patriots decision to start Drake Maye after watching Jacoby Brissett get hammered through the first 5 games of the 2024 season.
