New Pod! Jon and I discuss:

Frank Reich’s firing in Indy and Jeff Saturday’s appointment as the interim coach
What went wrong for Reich and his offense and whether that will cost him in the future
Why the Saturday hiring is bizarre and frustrating in equal measure
The warmth of Kliff Kingsbury’s seat
How much of Kingbury’s issues are down to the design of his offense, the talent on the roster, or his gameday coaching
Whether Nathaniel Hackett will be one-and-done in Denver

How the ownership change will impact Ron Rivera in Washington

Who could be the surprise departure of the offseason?
