Mike McDaniel is the best up-and-coming coach in the league over Kyle Shanahan

Mike McDaniel's probably the best up and coming coach in the league. Like if you're in a futures franchise draft, Mike McDaniel's probably going first [over Kyle Shanahan].

Shanahan reached the Super Bowl in 2023 while McDaniel has yet to win a playoff game, though McDaniel remains highly regarded.

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.

Mike McDaniel Should Already Be Fired

Their offense is horrible. Mike McDaniel should have already been fired.

This is a judgment about coaching performance and is inherently subjective.

The Sixers Will Implode Quickly, Then Recover

I think it's going to go bad quickly, and then they're gonna, by the time playoffs roll around, figure something out. But I think Jalen Brown, LeBron and Embiid are three just massive personalities.

The 2026-27 Sixers season has not played out in the provided context.
