The Bengals bringing back Marvin Lewis is a strategy to maintain relevancy through being a running joke.

The Bengals... Bringing Marvin Lewis back and continuing his contract and continuing him coaching, it's almost like a running joke they've created themselves that gives them relevancy where everyone can be like, Marvin Lewis jokes. So you at least have an identity that everyone can make fun of Marvin Lewis.

The Bengals eventually fired Lewis after the 2018 season following three straight losing seasons, confirming the 'running joke' era had a shelf life.

Bruce Arians will be back to coaching within two months of his retirement.

Bruce Arians, he's retired. But as we know, he's not going to know what to do with himself. He's just going to sit on his porch staring out into infinity for two months, and he'll think that's retirement, and then he'll be like, I've got to get back to coaching.

Arians took exactly one year off before returning to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019.

Jim Harbaugh is not on the hot seat despite criticism from Amani Toomer.

I am not putting [Harbaugh] on the hot seat, but Amani Toomer put him on the hot seat... Imani, you kind of lose everything here by thinking Paris Hilton's a supermodel. That's a big problem... Not on the hot seat. You're on the hot seat, Imani Toomer.

Harbaugh remained at Michigan for years, eventually winning a National Championship in 2023, proving he was never on a true 'hot seat' at that time.

The College Football Playoff should be an eight-team system with five conference champions and three wildcards.

I try to get the easiest, simplest solution... And it's five conference champs and three wild cards. And everything would matter that much more because the conference championships would matter... and the three wild cards make those valuable.

The playoff system was eventually overhauled to a 12-team format starting in 2024, bypassing the 8-team model Kanell suggested.

The sport of football will be unrecognizable in 20 years due to CTE and lawsuits.

I think football's in big trouble. Like, I really do... It is more about the future of the sport. And I don't know how it's going to continue when you start seeing lawsuits come to fruition, when you start seeing guys hang it up earlier than ever. I would say within 20 years, you will not recognize the sport of football.

Still pending as we are only 6 years into the 20-year window, though the sport has certainly changed its safety rules.

The Browns should take Saquon Barkley with the number one pick and Baker Mayfield with the fourth pick.

If I'm the Browns, I am taking, with my number one pick, I'm taking Saquon Barkley, and with the fourth pick, I'm taking Baker Mayfield, putting those two in my backfield and saying, good luck, try to stop us.

The Browns took Baker Mayfield #1 and Denzel Ward #4. Saquon Barkley went #2 to the Giants.

Josh Rosen's outspoken nature makes him a red flag for NFL locker rooms and the New York media.

Rosen is outspoken. He likes to talk. He likes to have really strong opinions. But I don't know if that's going to fit into an NFL locker room... It is a red flag. Thinks too much for himself... If the Giants take him, I think it's going to be a disaster with him and the New York media going together.

Rosen was a massive bust, though he ended up in Arizona first. His 'outspoken' nature was frequently cited by critics as he bounced around the league.

Sam Darnold should enter the NFL draft immediately because he is not developing further at USC.

And Darnold, there's reports now he might go back to USC, which I don't think is a good idea. Because I think if he wants to develop, he doesn't need to go back to USC to develop because clearly he's not getting it there. Go to the NFL and start learning your craft and getting paid for it.

Darnold did enter the 2018 draft and was selected #3 overall.

Baker Mayfield has the fewest red flags among the 2018 draft's top quarterbacks.

I'm telling you, Baker Mayfield has the least red flags of all of them from what I've seen on film watching him throw.

Mayfield was the most successful of the Darnold/Rosen/Mayfield trio early on, though he has had an up-and-down career.
