When the Arizona Cardinals finally announced Mike LaFleur as their next head coach, the reaction around the league was less excitement and more confusion. Not because LaFleur lacks credentials, but because the timeline of the hire suggests something uncomfortable: he wasn’t their first choice.

Why the Vikings Were Right to Fire Their GM — And Why the Decision Was Inevitable
The Minnesota Vikings didn’t fire their general manager because of impatience. They didn’t do it because of panic, or ownership meddling, or a sudden philosophical shift. They did it because the most important decision in football — quarterback evaluation — went disastrously wrong, and the consequences were impossible to ignore.

Todd Monken and the Cleveland Browns: A High-Risk, Offensive Gamble
On January 28, 2026, the Cleveland Browns officially named Todd Monken as their new head coach, marking his first opportunity to lead an NFL franchise. Monken’s hire is intriguing, promising, and risky all at once—a reflection of both the Browns’ desperate desire to fix a struggling offense and the league’s appetite for offensive-minded coordinators. While Monken brings a track record of modern, effective offensive scheming, questions about his ability to manage an entire team and navigate Cleveland’s notoriously volatile environment make this hire a high-stakes gamble.

Conference Championship Recap: Winter Comes for Thee
I absolutely love Conference Championship Sunday; as I have said before, the final round before the championship round is always spectacular. The NBA and the NHL have the Conference Finals, MLB has the League Championship Series, and when it comes to the NFL, it's the Conference Championship, with both games taking place on the last Sunday in January. The stakes are simple: the winner of each Conference Championship will be in the big one, Super Bowl LX.

The Baltimore Ravens made one of the boldest and most intriguing moves in the 2026 NFL coaching carousel by hiring Jesse Minter, a first-time head coach with a purely defensive background.

The team just parted ways with John Harbaugh, a Super Bowl-winning coach with an excellent record, citing a lack of recent playoff success as the reason. Meanwhile, the Ravens have handed the reins to someone with zero head coaching experience at any level in the NFL and a résumé entirely limited to the defensive side of the ball.

Falcons Hire Kevin Stefanski: Stability or Another Reset?
Since Arthur Blank became owner of the Atlanta Falcons, the organization has struggled to find lasting stability on the sideline. In that span, Atlanta has cycled through six head coaches, with Mike Smith and Dan Quinn standing as the only two who produced sustained success.

Mike McCarthy and the Steelers: Stability Over Ceiling
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to hire Mike McCarthy is one of the most polarizing moves of the 2026 NFL coaching cycle, not because McCarthy lacks credentials, but because his résumé forces an uncomfortable question: what exactly are the Steelers trying to be?
