Making sense of the wildest coaching carousel in years — what does Mike Tomlin stepping down actually mean for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and which franchise is next to feel the ripple effects? Plus, are we watching a true “team of destiny” run from the San Francisco 49ers, and how much heat is rising in Philadelphia with the Eagles after another frustrating finish?
James Palmer is joined by The Athletic’s senior NFL writer Michael Silver to break down the atmosphere surrounding Tomlin’s final game and what the Steelers’ future looks like without one of the league’s defining head coaches. Then the conversation turns to another potential “last game” storyline — Aaron Rodgers — and whether the Packers could be staring at the next domino with Matt LaFleur.
The 49ers eliminate the Eagles and keep finding a way to survive, pushing their run forward with more magic (and meaning) attached to this postseason. Meanwhile, Philly heads into another offseason full of big decisions — including what’s next for the roster and the long-term outlook around Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown.
Meanwhile the Las Vegas Raiders are on the clock — both with their draft position and their head coaching search — with Tom Brady’s influence as a minority owner looming large. James and Michael discuss the pressure of getting both positions right for Las Vegas after a tumultuous season.
