Bill Belichick vs. Anthony Lynn is the biggest coaching brain mismatch of the NFL season

It's the biggest coaching brain mismatch of the year so far, without a doubt. And this is a guy [Belichick] that coaches against Adam Gase twice. Anthony Lynn is a dumber version of Adam Gase. I think he's a better leader. But I think in terms of a strictly football sense, he's like a second grader compared to Adam Gase.

The Patriots beat the Chargers 45-0 in this game, featuring a masterclass in special teams and defensive scheme that made Lynn look completely lost.

The Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time

Yeah, I think it's fair to say the Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time.

While subjective, the 2020 Steelers are frequently cited as the worst 11-0 team ever given their late-season collapse and first-round playoff exit.

The Steelers should try to lose to the Washington Football Team to reset their season for a 'revenge tour'

I actually think that they should try to lose a game just so that everyone can be down on them and then they can come back and be like, fuck you, revenge tour in the playoffs. They should probably lose this game against the Washington football team.

The Steelers did lose to Washington, but they did not have a 'revenge tour'; they collapsed, losing 4 of their last 5 and getting bounced in the first round.

If Big Ben Roethlisberger is benched for rest in Week 17, he won't be mentally ready for the playoffs

I do think that if they were to bench Ben Roethlisberger and some of their other starters later on in the season, like week 17, I don't think that Big Ben comes back ready for the [playoffs]. I think he will believe that he is benched because he's injured in that one week off. And then that's going to mess with him mentally.

Roethlisberger did rest in Week 17 and then threw 4 interceptions in a Wild Card loss to the Browns, arguably proving the 'not ready' part of the take.

Nate Oats needs to teach his players to never let the police look through their phones

Let the Aden Holloway situation be a reminder to everybody that you don't have to let the police look through your phone. I actually point the finger at Nate Oats for this, because Nate Oats, you gotta do a better job of explaining the first through fifth amendments to your players. Given the history that you've had... day one you should have a, get the guys from Morgan & Morgan to come in and be like, 'Do not talk to the police if you're in trouble. Shut the fuck up.'

This is a satirical advice piece and commentary on Nate Oats' coaching responsibilities.

Mark Pope is on the hot seat at Kentucky after this tournament performance

Mark Pope on the hot seat. I think he is. I mean, I think they're gonna bring him back. I think he's safe for this year, but I think he's going into next year. Seat is warm.

Pending — Mark Pope's job status at Kentucky after the 2025-26 season is not yet resolved.

Every major college coaching opening should start by calling Brad Stevens and making him say no

You gotta make him say no. You gotta call Brad Stevens and make him say no. I will personally never stop saying that. He probably wakes up every morning and says no. Voicemail just says, 'Thank you so much for the consideration, but it's gonna be a no.' It would be shocking if he ever took another college job.

This is an opinion on coaching search strategy.
