It's the pod that was promised. Matt Harmon and The Ringer's Benjamin Solak team up to go through every single new head coach and offensive coordinator hire this coaching cycle and ask one simple question: Is this an offensive ecosystem worth investing in next season?

Harmon and Solak do a deep dive on each coach's organizational fit, previous experience, scheme, tendencies and current player personnel to determine which hires are set up for the best success in 2024 and beyond. The two end the show by also discussing which defensive coordinator hire was the best of the offseason:

7:47 - Atlanta Falcons: Raheem Morris as HC, Zac Robinson as OC

12:28 - Seattle Seahawks: Mike Macdonald as HC, Ryan Grubb as OC
