“Is it time for Terry Bradshaw to hang it up?” That's the question Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle in this wild and hilarious episode of The Ben and Skin Show.The crew kicks things off with the awkward reality of Bradshaw being sent home sick during Fox NFL Sunday—and revisits a jaw-dropping clip from a month ago where Terry spirals into a story about texting Andy Reid… only to realize he was talking to a guy selling pigs. Cue Michael Strahan's savage line: “How did you make it to the studio?”Then, buckle up for the most chaotic five minutes of sports content you'll hear all week: Jon Gruden's unhinged North Texas hype video.

 Colter kicks things off with FCS expert Sam Herder to recap all the action from this past week and take a big-picture look at the current FCS landscape.

(5:02) Next up, it's time for the Montana State Minute. Colter sits down with junior cornerback Tahkari Carr to preview the Bobcats' upcoming showdown against #9 UC Davis.

MLB.com is reporting that the Pirates could spend $30-40 million this offseason. The Pirates are losing a lot of payroll with players going to free agency and the major question is if they spend over $100 total. Jon Gruden loves Mason Heintschel and thinks Heintschel is very mature.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Chris Hoke: If the Steelers don't fix this, they will QUICKLY win the division. Aaron Rodgers had 65 yards passing on the final drive. Jon Gruden went on the Fan Morning Show that he would be shocked if Will Howard isn't a very good quarterback. Gruden said he wouldn't expect Howard to be on the bench much longer. Gruden thinks Omar Khan got a steal in the 6th.

Jon Gruden went on the Fan Morning Show that he would be shocked if Will Howard isn't a very good quarterback. Gruden said he wouldn't expect Howard to be on the bench much longer. Gruden thinks Omar Khan got a steal in the 6th. Chris Hoke thinks things would be different if Howard was a first-round pick, but Howard isn't going to play this year.

Jon Gruden doesn't think Howard will be on the bench much longer. Gruden said Howard is an accurate passer, a winner, has the wow factor, and he told Omar Khan he couldn't believe they drafted Howard in the 6th round. Steelers fans weigh in on if Will Howard can be the guy or someone else.

In this hour, Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick react to Barstool Sports' Jon Gruden's comments about Steelers' rookie QB Will Howard. Also, Pitt Football and Pitt Men's Basketball broadcaster Bill Hillgrove comes on The Fan Hotline. And another edition of QUIZ CALLAS! November 13, 2025, 8:00 Hour

In this hour, Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick react to Steelers' rookie QB Will Howard beginning to practice with the team this week. Also, Jon Gruden from Barstool Sports comes on The Fan Hotline! November 13, 2025, 7:00 Hour

Jon Gruden from Barstool Sports comes on The Fan Hotline to talk to Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick about the upcoming CFB game between Pitt and Notre Dame since College Gameday will be in Pittsburgh this weekend, and he also shares some thoughts about QB Will Howard since the Steelers have him practicing now.

Jon Gruden is coming back to town to see Pitt and Notre Dame clash on Saturday – and he thinks Pitt wins the football game. What will it take for Pitt to win this game? Mason Heintschel will need to have a big one, that's for sure. The Irish have been hot as they come into Acrisure Stadium. Heintschel's attitude and mindset is a good one to have because he seems like a pretty unflappable QB. How scary is Notre Dame, a team that has been playing for its season since suffering their second loss? The Panthers haven't lost since making the QB change, but can they keep it going against a top tier program? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Pomp reacted to Paul Skenes winning the Cy Young and the big story that came from yesterday, centered around Skenes having ‘dreams' of playing for the Yankees. Bob thinks Skenes will play at least 2 more full seasons here and that the Pirates have to go out and do something with a bang. What kind of atmosphere is around this game on Saturday and how can Pitt pull off the win? Pomp said the last thing Pitt wants to do is let Notre Dame out to a hot start with a crowd that will likely have a lot of Irish fans. Pomp's crystal ball on Sunday tells him the Steelers win the game, but a close one. Chris got some thoughts from Bob ahead of the basketball Backyard Brawl tonight at 6. Power Rankings – Biggest Pitt home games since 2000.

Another thing Jon Gruden to The Fan Morning Show today was how much he loves Will Howard. How much are you buying in? Chris thinks it is totally overboard stuff from Gruden and that we can't keep building up these expectations for a guy that barely practiced before the season. Chris went as far to say Howard won't start more than a half season worth of games as long as he's wearing black & gold. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve was skeptical of Will Howard when he transitioned from Kansas State to Ohio State, and he mostly got proved wrong last season as Howard won the national title. Steve pointed out some issues, but why he was impressed by his work last season. Steve said a lot of people can easily knock Howard, or any OSU QB, for being surrounded by great receivers, but he showed that he can get the ball to playmakers. Steve doesn't think Aaron Rodgers has lost anything physically, but he has his games/moments where he is showing signs of his age. Steve worries about how consistent Mike Tomlin is and why the Steelers should reach their cap on the same thing every year. Donny Football Debrief – So, just how much is Will Howard paying attention to Aaron Rodgers?

Is there a dilemma the Giants could face this off season?

Boomer & Gio explore the crazy idea of the Giants trading for their next head coach — could Mike Tomlin actually be in play? The guys debate whether Big Blue needs an experienced leader or another first-time coordinator. Plus, Jerry's update includes Sean McDermott on a Daboll return, Jon Gruden's advice to Jaxson Dart, and yet another low-scoring Eagles win. The Rangers finally pull out a victory at MSG, the Jets are somehow still “in the hunt,” and in the Moment of the Day — Al reveals his unusual taste in women, and the studio loses it.

Gio floats a wild idea Jon Gruden coaching Jaxson Dart while Boomer questions if Zac Taylor's job could be in danger in Cincinnati. Jerry Recco's update features Chris Simms defending Mike McDaniel as a “trendsetter,” Aaron Glenn's thoughts on Justin Fields, and a fiery clash between Michelle Beadle and Stephen A. Smith.

Boomer & Gio react to the Giants officially firing Brian Daboll but somehow keeping Joe Schoen. Gio calls it “a package breakup that makes no sense,” while Boomer looks ahead to who could replace him, from Steve Spagnuolo to big-name college coaches. The guys question Schoen's future, debate whether Jaxson Dart was really a Daboll guy, and react to Tiki Barber saying the culture changed under Daboll. Then, the Giants' season gets even juicier they're starring in Hard Knocks: In Season with the entire NFC East. Gio floats Jon Gruden as a wild replacement idea, Boomer wonders if Zac Taylor could be next to go, and Michelle Beadle goes head-to-head with Stephen A. Smith in a fiery media showdown. Finally, could the Giants actually trade for their next head coach? Boomer thinks Mike Tomlin might be worth a call. Plus, Jerry Recco's updates feature Daboll reaction, Gruden on Jaxson Dart, and the Rangers finally winning at MSG capped off by the Moment of the Day: Al Dukes admits he's into “horse face women,” and the room absolutely loses it.

Boomer & Gio react to the Giants being featured on Hard Knocks: In Season with the NFC East and the timing couldn't be juicier.

Plus, Chris Simms defends Mike McDaniel, Zac Taylor's job could be in danger, and Michelle Beadle unloads on Stephen A. Smith in a fiery media feud.

Jerry Recco's update covers Sean McDermott addressing Brian Daboll rumors, Jon Gruden's pre-draft advice to Jaxson Dart, and the Eagles' 10–7 win over the Packers. The Rangers finally get a home victory, and the Jets are somehow still “in the hunt.” Then, in the Moment of the Day, Al drops a jaw-dropping confession — he's into horse face women — sending Boomer, Gio, and Jerry into total hysterics.

Paul Catalina, co-host of 365 Sports and creator of Paul Catalina's Top 5, breaks down his latest list — “Buyout Babies Who Want Back In.” Catalina ranks five former head coaches with massive payouts or legal settlements who are ready to return to the sidelines, including Ed Orgeron, Jon Gruden, James Franklin, Pat Fitzgerald, and Jimbo Fisher. He explains why each could resurface in 2025, which programs might be the best fit, and how coaching experience and redemption stories will shape the next wave of college football hires.

Nick and JP discuss if Jon Gruden would consider the Browns coaching job if it became available and if fans would be excited about it.

BT & Sal are furious at the Giants' "idiotic decision" to fire head coach Brian Daboll but retain General Manager Joe Schoen to lead the next coaching search. They slam the move as the "worst thing they could do," arguing Schoen's track record—including an inept roster and highly questionable draft picks (Evan Neal, Deonte Banks)—has earned him no right to hire another coach. The hosts question how ownership can possibly trust Schoen, labeling the franchise "pathetic" and "lost" for repeating the cycle of keeping the GM who hired a failed coach. The discussion also heats up with callers pitching head coach replacements like Jon Gruden and Lane Kiffin, forcing BT and Sal to debate if a college coach is the right fit and if Schoen's mere presence will severely dilute the candidate talent pool. They conclude that by keeping Schoen, the Giants are essentially "accepting losing."

BT & Sal's "Perfect Parlay Picks" segment hits a shocking low with only one out of eight picks hitting across the board. Sal, who is far behind in the point standings, declares he's abandoning two-teamers for "Hail Mary" three- and four-team parlays to "air it out." The segment takes a fiery turn when Frank from Rails calls in to defend himself after being accused of backing out of a promise to give the guys Rangers tickets. The conversation then pivots to the Giants' coaching search, where they discuss the reported "mellowing" of Brian Daboll and his potential future at Penn State. Finally, the hosts debate the merits of prospective Giants coaching candidates, comparing the "next-level" ceiling of Sean McDermott (who is being "sold short") against the highly-praised but less recently successful track record of Jon Gruden.

BT & Sal react to the breaking news: Brian Daboll has been fired as Giants head coach, with Mike Kafka named the interim. The discussion quickly turns fiery over the baffling decision to keep both GM Joe Schoen and DC Shane Bowen, a move Sal calls "horrendous." Tierney argues the Giants are a "predictable disaster," repeating the mistake of an uncoordinated timeline, while Sal believes the job remains "very appealing" due to the potential of Jaxson Dart. The hosts debate who is more "culpable" for the losing—Daboll or Schoen—and play an old, fascinating clip of Jon Gruden grilling Dart about his "reckless" playing style. The segment closes with a heated discussion on potential replacements, weighing the risks of Bill Belichick and the "high ceiling" of Jon Gruden against the safer, more successful track record of Mike McCarthy.

BT & Sal erupt over the breaking news that the Giants have finally fired Head Coach Brian Daboll, calling it "the humane thing to do" after yet another catastrophic fourth-quarter collapse and a 2-8 record. They slam the baffling decision to keep GM Joe Schoen calling the shots and demand that Defensive Coordinator Shane Bowen be the next domino to fall. The hosts dive deep into the alarming health risks surrounding rookie QB Jaxson Dart, questioning Daboll's RPO obsession and playing a fascinating clip where Jon Gruden grills Dart on his "reckless" style of play. Also on the docket: the Jets' "unwatchable" offense securing an ugly win, Sal's rage over MetLife's new $100 parking hike (an "absolute joke"), and a hilarious breakdown of Sal's socially awkward "fun Friday night" bar event.

Matt talks crutch words, we analyze a Cameo from Jon Gruden, Connor crashes out on Twitter, some thoughts from Creighton last night, hate e-mails from listeners, we take a call from Fickle Brian, and more.

-There are former Steelers asking why the team didn't make any moves at the trade deadline to better the team. One believes if the defense needed help, Mike Tomlin would have made sure an acquisition took place. If the Steelers added somebody like Jakobi Meyers, where would that put them in the AFC? Do we still think it was a mistake that they didn't do anything ahead of the deadline, outside of the Kyle Dugger move from over a week ago? The guys questioned whether or not the Steelers thinking about the draft was a smart move. How much say did Mike have in comparison to the owner and GM? – Pitt QB Mason Heintschel joined the show. Mason said his favorite football jersey is his Patrick Mahomes one from around 2018. He was a 3-sport athlete in high school, so the guys asked him about his HS exploits. Mason told the guys why he is a Tennessee Titans fan. He joked that the Titans upset playoff win over the Ravens a few years back was ‘one of the best days of his life.' Mason said baseball was a little bit too slow of a sport for him to get into. What was Mason's motivation getting into college football? Mason said scoring on the first drive in his first start really raised his confidence level. Mason watches a lot of Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert film. He added Drew Brees to that list. He talked about the role his parents have played in where he's at. Mason talked about the confidence instilled in him, but the fine line you have to walk. He said he's not much of a trash talker on the field, but Pitt has no shortage of that. The guys asked Mason about his chat with Jon Gruden that was published earlier in the week – saying Gruden may be at the Pitt-Notre Dame game next weekend. Mason said he is using the bye week to get a little bit ahead of Notre Dame even with the Panthers winning 5 straight games. Mason talked about the trip to Florida State, playing in front of a hostile crowd, and coming out of it with a win. Mason credited some high school classes for why he has no issue public speaking or doing a full-length interview. Did Mason have any relationship with Bruce Gradkowski, who was a Toledo football legend? – Former Pitt QB Pat Bostick joined the show. Pat talked to the guys about Mason Heintschel and how special of a young man he is. The guys talked about what has transpired at QB with Pitt in the last 12 months. Pat described Mason as a ‘football junkie' and said he was watching film when he was the third QB on the depth chart. What kind of pitch does Pitt have to put forth to make sure Mason is back next season in the NIL/transfer portal era of college football? What led to such love for Notre Dame and the Catholic contingent that roots on the Fighting Irish? The guys said Marcus Freeman is easier to like than just about any coach in ND history. Can Pitt stand up to the Irish next Saturday? What kind of resume is Pitt giving to the College Football Playoff committee?
