Mike Silver, senior NFL writer at the Athletic, has written a remarkable book. “The Why Is Everything” is, in my opinion, the type of work that will no longer happen in the modern access-constrained world. So we get into it, exploring the coaching rivalries that shaped modern football and analyzing the friend/enemy relationships involved. Topics include but aren’t limited to…

* Why is the “why” important for players to understand?

* “It’s a crazy business. I’ve seen people fire their brothers.”

* Five future head coaches worked on one 2013 Washington Redskins staff: Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, Raheem Morris, and Mike McDaniel

* Is Sean McVay a big hypocrite? Or just uncommonly vulnerable?

* Mike McDaniel was Kyle Shanahan’s right hand man, to the point where Kyle undermined Mike’s dreams

* What was working at the Daily Cal like for Mike and myself?

* Will sports writers be replaced by AI technology?

* Why the hell isn’t Mike Shanahan in the NFL Hall of Fame?!
