Coaching Changes and Belichick

·55 min·5 clips

Key discussion

Andrew and Lance start by setting up a conversation about coaching changes and the hires they liked or did not like. They quickly pivot to Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame snub. They call it a travesty. They point out that he is one of the winningest coaches of all time, has the most Super Bowl wins as a coach, has been to nine Super Bowls, and has the highest playoff win total. They also argue that the Hall's voting process is broken. Their explanation centers on coaches and owners being mixed in with players on the ballot. They say that may be part of why Belichick did not get in on the first try, even if the result still does not sit right. The conversation then shifts to the Falcons' coaching hire. They praise the fit and say the team already has a lot of talent. They point to a strong draft class from last year, even while calling the Rams trade dumb. They single out the Notre Dame safety they wanted Minnesota to take. They also mention Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts comes up as a breakout year, with the hosts noting that he finished number two in fantasy scoring. They say he is now a free agent, so Atlanta still has a decision to make. They like the coaching move enough to call it great for the Falcons. They expect the NFC South to be more interesting because the Panthers are up and coming, the Buccaneers may still have the best overall roster, and the Saints are not going quietly. The next hire they like is Harbaugh to the Giants. They call it brilliant and focus on the money and the long contract. The episode closes with a brief Super Bowl mention for next week. It also dismisses the Pro Bowl as pointless and basically a popularity vote, with a final jab about young fans and Shadurah Sanders.

As heard by us

A coaching-change conversation that turns Belichick's omission into a wider argument about football judgment.

The discussion lands hardest on Bill Belichick's first-ballot Hall of Fame omission, which Andrew and Lance treat as hard to square with the resume and even harder to trust given the voting setup.
