Thursday Night Football showcased two head coaches who are making a major impact on their teams with playoff berths very likely in grasp. With Jim Harbaugh in his first year back in the league at the helm of the Los Angeles Chargers and Sean Payton in his second year leading the Denver Broncos, both are proving to be difference-makers this season for their teams.
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab talk about why both are proving that the head coaching position in football is so critical to a team’s success, the reason so many teams seem to get that hire wrong and the smart thinking from Jim Harbaugh to finally get a chance to run one of his favorite plays he’s never gotten a chance to attempt in the NFL in a Thursday night win over Denver.
Also on this episode of Inside Coverage, the guys discuss the report about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson nixing a trade involving Jerry Jeudy due to the player’s rating in the Madden football video game and why fans have a reason to be frustrated with owners who repeatedly make bad decisions. They then discuss where Kirk Cousins might play in 2025 and if Sam Darnold is a serious option for the San Francisco 49ers next season.
