For years, the NFL has been trying to make the hiring of people of color in leadership positions a more fair and more equitable process. Through initiatives like accelerator programs meant to introduce prospects to owners and other people with hiring ability, alongside the widely controversial Rooney Rule which literally mandates that people of all backgrounds get interviews, the league has been marginally successful at changing who is in the room when it comes to coordinators, head coaches, and general managers. Today ESPN senior NFL writer Kalyn Kahler reports on a new speed bump in the road: the trend of "package deals," whereby an agent places multiple clients in coaching or front office roles with the same team. She details her reporting on where this practice comes from, why it's hurting the prospects of minorities to get these jobs and what, if anything, the NFL can do to fight against it.

As the 49ers enter the second week of their offseason with three coordinator vacancies, Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss where San Francisco stands in the hiring process for its open positions.

NBA Tangent: Victor Wembanyama and Basketball's Direction 00:06:30 – 00:12:50 Discussion shifts to Victor Wembanyama and his impact on basketball.

Thursday's Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett features Mike Garafolo, NFL Network with  BREAKING news on the Seahawks search for a new offensive coordinator and Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic on the reaction to the offensive coordinator search reportedly winding down and financial decisions looming for the Seahawks. Puck starts off the show discussing fan apathy among Mariner fans and he wonders how close this ownership group is to losing a fan base.  Many fans are starting to revolt and it could get much worse for the Mariners if they don't right the ship. Also, many fans are cancelling their season tickets and flex tickets.  What will attendance look like this year because most fans feel betrayed by the teams ownership. (23:22) - Mike Garafolo, NFL Network jumps on with Puck and drops breaking news that Klint Kubiak, who spent last season with New Orleans Saints, is in Seattle getting a second in person interview with the Seahawks and according to Mike is “in the drivers seat” to be named the new offensive coordinator under Mike Macdonald.  Mike explains the decision to Puck on why Kubiak works, potential relationship with Macdonald and what the future has in store for quarterback Geno Smith, receiver D.K. Metcalf and other roster moves on the horizon for Seattle.   Also, does Deion Sanders want the Cowboys job?  When are the Bears going to find a coach or are they going to interview the entire NFL?  Would Pete Carroll work in Dallas under Jerry Jones?  Does  the Rooney Rule work in the NFL or are teams taking advantage of the requirement?   Lastly, Mike predicts who will be playing on championship weekend. (55:23) - Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic, drops by for his weekly visit with Puck and reacts to the news that Klint Kubiak is the leading candidate to be hired as offensive coordinator as Mike Garafolo told Puck on the Daily Puck Drop.  Mike and Puck also discuss the financial future of the Seahawks and what decisions they need to make in the future to reduce their payroll and get under the cap.  Does it make sense to trade D.K. Metcalf this offseason?  What type of deal will D.K. want and is it financially sound anymore in today's NFL to pay a wide receiver so much money?    Dugar and Puck also pick up on the conversation that Puck had with Garafolo on the use of the Rooney Rule and is it truly working in the NFL or are there changes that need to be made?(1:30:34) - “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Puck discusses the ugly incident that happened this past weekend in Philadelphia involving a Packers fan and Eagles fan.  No one is innocent in this story.

The NFL playoffs are in full swing, and the cream is rising to the top. The best players, teams, and coaches all shine in January. With many of the favorites moving on to the Divisional Round, Whitlock reflects on the coaching in the NFL. There are about 10 coaches in the NFL who will always have a market if a job opens up, and the rest of the league's coaches will always be on the chopping block. This is the result of DEI: underqualified coaches way over their skis and the same 15 coaches getting passed around the league. Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on the NFL coaching hierarchy. The playoff picture seems to revolve around the same teams as last year. Will the results remain the same, or will the NFL crown a new champion? Wrapping up is Shemeka, who has something to say about the Left suddenly switching sides and narrative after Donald Trump became the president-elect.

Wild Card weekend is over and there were a lot of disappointing games. The most disappointing performance from an individual was Justin Herbert and the Steelers were the most disappointing team performance. The Steelers looked ‘leader-less' according to Boomer. The Ravens/Bills is going to be a great matchup of 2 MVP candidates in their prime. In the Packers/Eagles game, cameras caught AJ Brown reading a motivational book while sitting on the bench. That was him sending a message that they were barely using him. He had one catch for 10 yards. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Commanders beating the Bucs. We heard the Baker Mayfield fumble and the game winning FG. AJ Brown talked about the book he was reading on the sideline. Jordan Love was asked about his struggles, including 3 INTs. Josh Allen had an incredible TD throw on 4th and one. Mike Tomlin talked about the Steelers performance. In the final segment of the hour, the Jets interviewed the Maryland head coach and Boomer had no idea that was happening and doesn't think it's a realistic choice for the Jets. The Jets seem to be waiting for someone still coaching in the playoffs. We talked about the Rooney Rule and whether it works or not.

The Jets seem to be waiting for someone still coaching in the playoffs. We talked about the Rooney Rule and whether it works or not. Hour 2 We talked briefly about colleges and universities having a ton of money to pay athletes and yet they are still looking for alumni to donate. Boomer got a letter from Maryland looking for money. We talked about the draft and Boomer doesn't think Shedeur Sanders will agree to go to the Titans or the Browns. That would set him up to be drafted by the Giants to play with Malik Nabers. The dream scenario for Deion would be for him to coach the Raiders and for them to draft Shedeur. There are reports Tom Brady really wants Ben Johnson for the Raiders, but there is no QB there right now. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Bucs radio as the Commanders kick the game winning FG. Baker Mayfield had a terrible fumble and Todd Bowles was asked about it. The Eagles beat the Packers but it wasn't pretty and Saquon talked about that. Jalen Hurts was asked about AJ Brown reading a book on the sideline. Boomer wonders how we each ‘find our flow'. George Pickens was asked after the Steelers' loss if he's optimistic going forward and he said, ‘uh, nah'. Kevin O'Connell is preparing to play as if they're playing in Los Angeles. The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel. In the final segment of the hour, former Ranger Sean Avery told the story of playing in a men's hockey league and having to knock a guy off his skates after he was bragging about his fourth goal of the game. He was banned from men's hockey in the state of California. We talked about traffic now that congestion pricing has been put into place. Boomer said businesses seem to be hurting because of it. Hour 3 We watched a lot of bad football this season in the NFL. There were a lot of really bad teams. Betting and fantasy keep us interested in teams and games that are terrible. The poor level of play even spilled into Wild Card weekend. There are a lot of things that contribute to ‘crappier football'. Boomer thinks they're adding another game and teams will have 2 bye weeks and Netflix will be in the mix for the regular season. We then wondered if CBS Sports Network would cut away if one of us was choking on the air. Aly, our makeup artist, has Norovirus and Gio's concerned he is now going to get it. A caller wonders what we thought of the saxophone-only national anthem at the Eagles game. We talked about violinist Itzhak Perlman. Al has a very strange way of saying his name. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from BT and Sal about what BT wore when he interviewed Rick Pitino. BT was then called ‘gullible' by Sal and Pete Hoffman. Melissa Start and Cris Collinsworth were talking about the cut on Jayden Daniels' face. Rex Ryan said the Chargers had a bye week having to play the Texans and DeMeco Ryans refe ...

Gio was listening to C-Mac on the overnight talking about Bill Belichick and the UNC coaching job. Gio thinks Belichick is trying to get teams like the Giants to make a move before the season ends. By almost taking this job, it is going to make teams like the Giants make a move before the season ends. Boomer said the Giants would have to go through the Rooney Rule before they hire Belichick. Bill sent UNC a 400 page document on everything he wants to do there if he coaches at UNC. The Pacman Jones podcast had notorious Miami booster Nevin Shapiro on, and he said the Giants are drafting QB Cam Ward and hiring the OC to be head coach. Jerry returns for an update and starts with another ‘Chazz Jizzm' during MLB trade talk. Then the talk turned to the UFO/drones over NJ and Al is very annoyed that nobody seems to care and the FBI has no idea what it is. In the final segment of the hour, a listener sent Boomer a Precious Achiuwa jersey and Gio a JJ McCarthy jersey.

Hour 1 The Yankees signed pitcher Max Fried and Boomer thanked Brian Cashman for getting him out of the NL East. Gio is worried how he will perform coming from a smaller market in Atlanta. We also talked about the Mets pitching lab and the one in Tampa for the Yankees, nicknamed the ‘gas station'. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Yankees signing Fried. Audio emerged of Mark Gastineau confronting Brett Favre for handing Michael Strahan the sack title. Boomer is no fan of Gastineau and said ‘screw him, I don't care'. He called him a ‘dirty cheap shotting son of a bitch'. Joe Burrow's house was broken into while he was playing Monday night in Dallas. In the final segment of the hour, Brandon Tierney has a lot of lingo for baseball stats. Hour 2 Gio was listening to C-Mac on the overnight talking about Bill Belichick and the UNC coaching job.

Hour 3 Phil Simms joins us in his Wednesday spot and we started with the rift in the Eagles lockerroom between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. We also talked about Bill Belichick potentially going to UNC because NFL owners don't seem interested in him. Boomer asked Phil if he thought Bill would bring LT in to work with him. Phil does not. We also talked a lot about Sam Darnold's resurgence in Minnesota. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Nick Sirianni on WIP saying the Jalen Hurts/AJ Brown situation is being blown out of proportion. Aaron Rodgers thinks this could actually bring the Eagles team together. Kyle Shanahan talked about Deebo Samuel complaining about not getting the ball. In the final segment of the hour, Randy Moss is dealing with a health issue but he didn't say what it was, he was just explaining why he would be off TV.

Suzyn Waldman was on with BT & Sal and said Steve Cohen is this generation's George Steinbrenner. Boomer said Juan Soto better win an MVP and World Series. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first he tells us he heard Elton John is broke. Gio thinks it must have been one of those links at the bottom of stories on the NY Post website. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and asked if they heard about the drones in NJ. Frank The Tank was furious with the Devils and Bruce Springsteen. The Moment of The Day: Joe Burrow's home burglarized and a hot model reports the crime. In the final segment of the hour, we wondered if the person who called the police from McDonald's will get the reward they deserve. We also talked about the losers making the shooter out to be some sort of hero.

The biggest sports league in history had a problem: While most of its players were Black, almost none of its head coaches were. So the N.F.L. launched a hiring policy called the Rooney Rule. In the first episode of a two-part series, we look at how the rule succeeded — until it failed. SOURCES:N.
