NFL teams should consider Pete Carroll for their head coaching vacancies

There is a name out there that I think these teams should consider for head coach and he's not a hot young guy. Okay. He's a hot old guy. What about Pete Carroll? Someone should give a look at Pete Carroll.

Carroll did not return to head coaching in the 2026 cycle.

Drake May's MVP case is strengthened by his lack of Pro Bowl offensive teammates

Every other MVP in the NFL history has played with another pro bowler. Okay. But he's, so if [Drake May] is able to put up those stats without another pro bowler, that makes his case that much more interesting. Zero Pro Bowl teammates on offense.

While it's a subjective MVP argument, the claim that no other MVP ever lacked a Pro Bowl teammate is a verifiable fact claim often debated in MVP discourse.

The Titans and Giants are the most coveted head coaching jobs available

I think the Titans might be as crazy as it sounds. I think I, I might agree... I would hire Stefanski tomorrow. I really would. I think that he's gonna be a very good head coach.

The 'most coveted' job is subjective, though the speed and quality of hires for these positions would be the indicator.

Brian Daboll would be an awesome offensive coordinator hire for the Commanders

I would like to see Dbol. I think Brian Dbol will be a great offensive coordinator in DC... that makes me think we might be getting Brian Dbol, which I think would be an awesome hire. That would be, I think he's a great, I I've said for a long time that like I think he could be a good head coach one day too.

Daboll's landing spot after being fired by the Giants is a testable outcome.

The Baltimore Ravens are now the best head coaching job opening in the NFL

John Harbaugh and the Ravens have parted ways... this is the number one job. By far... Like, not even close. That's like the most stable front office you can go to.

Subjective ranking of jobs based on roster and stability.

Trey Young will be traded from the Atlanta Hawks in a mutual parting of ways

My Hot Seat is Trey Young. Because it looks like he is asking, demanding to be traded from the Atlanta Hawks and the Hawks are also trying to trade him. So I guess this is like a mutual parting of ways.

Trae Young's trade status is a verifiable event.

I would have been a top 10 draft pick if my last name was easier to pronounce

Maybe a few years younger, maybe a couple letters off the last name. It might be, might be a little bit richer. So I don't, I don't know... once you learn it, it's kinda hard to forget it.

The impact of a name on draft stock is entirely subjective and unprovable.

I will buy Big Cat and PFT a boat if I sign another NFL contract

I would say any amount of money, I think hopefully... Hopefully another contract one day and, and we'll make it happen... any amount of money, I think hopefully.

Depends on Shough's next contract and his follow-through on the promise.

Indiana is the favorite to win the national championship among the remaining four teams

I think you'd have to call Indiana the favorite. I mean, they, they've been the most consistent all year long. They've played the best in the biggest games all year long. And that goes back to, to when they went to Eugene and beat Oregon.

The outcome of the 2026 CFB Playoff will determine if Indiana wins.

If a college coach doesn't show significant improvement by Year 2, the hire was a failure

If your guy's not getting it done by year two, you blew the higher. That's, that's it. In this era, you blew the higher, if your guy's not good by year two... if you've got a coach te begging for patience, that's a coach who knows He's already cooked.

This is a philosophical take on sports management and remains subjective.
