Getting the Lions to the precipice of the playoffs is equivalent to an NFC Championship for any other team

I'll take Dan Campbell. I think that coaching the lions is, everything's on a curve. So if you get the lions on the precipice of, of the playoffs, that's essentially like the NFC Championship game.

The Lions actually exceeded this 'curve' by reaching the real NFC Championship game later that season.

Bill Belichick is the best head coach in the NFL to lead a team right now

Bill Belichick [is the first pick]. I was taking it no matter what Hank said. I'm a neutral journalist, [picking] the best of the 32.

Belichick went 4-13 in the 2023 season and mutually parted ways with the Patriots, showing he was no longer the elite coach he once was.

Sean McVay is a top-three coach who only struggled recently because the Rams went all in

If you told every team in the NFL, you can get Sean McVay your head coach next year. There's like, I think there's only two teams that wouldn't take him. He is that good. I feel like they're gonna be slept on this year just 'cause of how bad they were last year... they were going all in and trading all their future picks. And then we're like, why do the Rams suck now? Well, because they gave us no opportunity for a window of discussion.

The Rams exceeded expectations in 2023, finishing 10-7 and making the playoffs, validating the idea that they were just in a one-year reset.

John Harbaugh is a top-tier coach who would improve almost every team in the NFL immediately

John Harbaugh could step into any situation in the league except for maybe three and improve it. He's got a track record now... he's reinvented himself a couple times. And now he's really good at going with what his best players do best.

Subjective opinion on a coach's value, though Harbaugh remains highly regarded.

Ohio State moved senior night because it is scared of Michigan

If you're saying, 'Hey, we can't do it for the Michigan game because it's something that's just totally different and separate unto itself,' do it the last home game before that, which would be Northwestern. But that senior night though should be—you'd basically just be saying, 'I'm scared of doing it against Michigan.'

This is an interpretation of Ohio State's motivation and cannot be definitively verified.

Wisconsin has to win eight games

He's gotta win eight. I think he would tell you he's gotta win eight. Because if you win seven, that means you probably lost to Penn State, Iowa, USC and UCLA or Minnesota, and it's like some of those are not okay.

Wisconsin's 2026 final record has not yet been determined.
