In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab are still catching their breath from an exhilarating NFL Divisional Round as they break down the biggest moments from a thrilling weekend of playoff action. The duo start with the Baltimore Ravens’ heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mark Andrews’ crucial drop and unforced turnovers haunted Baltimore, but Fitz and Frank agree it wasn’t all on Lamar Jackson. The conversation continues with a deep dive into the Houston Texans’ close loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, where Fitz defends the Chiefs’ win as a product of solid football, not rigged officiating, and discusses whether K.C. is really as dominant as their record suggests.

Moving into the NFC, the Detroit Lions’ disappointing playoff performance raises questions about their coaching staff, while Frank Schwab hypes up rookie QB Jayden Daniels for his impressive season—one of the best in recent memory. The Philadelphia Eagles sneak out a win in the snow, but concerns about their one-dimensionality continue to grow. To wrap up, Fitz and Schwab preview the NFC Championship with a surprising take on the Washington Commanders' chances against the Philadelphia Eagles despite Washington’s defensive struggles.

Jason Fitz & Charles Robinson sort through the top candidates for each of the open NFL head coaching jobs. Could a Mike McCarthy return to the New Orleans Saints maximize Derek Carr’s potential before they enter a rebuild? Aaron Glenn could be an attractive option for the New York Jets, unless he decides to return to a Detroit Lions organization that’s doing just about everything right. After what he’s done to improve the Tampa Bay Buccaneers run game, could Liam Coen revive the Jacksonville Jaguars running with Travis Ettienne and Tank Bigsby?

Charles puts a stop to all notions that the Dallas Cowboys could make moves to trade up for Shedeur Sanders, but he does believe they’re seriously considering Deion Sanders as their head coach. Another option for the Cowboys is Kellen Moore, especially since it seems Jerry Jones never really wanted to let him go in the first place. Though it may seem unlikely, is there good reason that Ben Johnson would prefer the Las Vegas Raiders job to the Chicago Bears opening?

To wrap, the pair talk through some quarterback drama for the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns. After two disappointing losses, will the Vikings still consider franchising Sam Darnold or will they move on to J.J. McCarthy? Meanwhile, the Browns seem to have no choice but to draft a QB with the second pick in this year’s draft following Deshaun Watson’s second achilles injury.

In this episode of Inside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab go full Christmas Carol as they look into the Dallas Cowboys' past, present and future. The crew start by reacting to the breaking news that Robert Saleh will interview for the vacant head coaching job. Is Saleh the right guy to get the organization over the hump? Next, the hosts step into the Cowboys' past by reflecting on Mike McCarthy’s tenure as head coach. While McCarthy’s regular-season success has been undeniable, the panel debates whether he was truly the coach to break the Cowboys’ playoff drought. Is he the floor raiser Dallas needed, or did the team need someone who could elevate them to the next level?

Moving into the Cowboys' present coaching search, the hosts dissect the latest rumors surrounding potential candidates, including the surprise whispers about Deion Sanders and other possible hires like Kellen Moore and Anthony Lynn. Would Moore, who has a deep connection to the team, be able to guide Dak Prescott to greater heights, or does Dallas need a more seasoned coach with the chops to challenge Jerry Jones’ established culture? Finally, the trio peer into the Cowboys' future and what they would want Jerry to look for in their next coach, from someone who could challenge Jerry's established culture to whether or not the next coach needs previous head coaching experience.

Later, the focus shifts to the NFL playoffs, with a preview of the AFC Divisional Round matchups. The crew gives their thoughts on the Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs, examining how Houston’s defensive line could exploit Kansas City’s weaknesses. The hosts also break down the Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills, discussing how Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry could lead the Ravens past the Bills, despite Lamar’s past playoff struggles.

In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their instant reactions and takeaways from every game of the Saturday and Sunday Wild Card slate as NFL playoff action is officially underway. Before they start, the guys reflect on the New England Patriots' hiring of Mike Vrabel as their new head coach. Both agree that landing Vrabel is a home-run move for the franchise. However, with a roster still in need of a massive overhaul, it's clear that Vrabel's work is only beginning.

The action heats up when the guys break down the Washington Commanders' victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where rookie QB Jayden Daniels’ poise under pressure continues to impress. Is the young QB having a better rookie year than C.J. Stroud did? Frank thinks so, calling him a top 5 quarterback in the league right now. Next, the conversation shifts to the Green Bay Packers' disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with Fitz calling out Jordan Love for falling flat. Is Love still a top-tier quarterback?

Later, Fitz & Frank cover the Denver Broncos losing to the Buffalo Bills, where Josh Allen’s brilliance stood out. Jason and Frank also delve into the ongoing struggles of the Pittsburgh Steelers under Mike Tomlin, and whether or not the team’s QB issues are the missing piece to their Super Bowl hopes. Plus, the duo explores the explosive Houston Texans’ defense and Justin Herbert’s struggles in big games. Fitz & Frank finish with their final predictions for Monday night's matchup between the Minnesota Vikings & Los Angeles Rams.

The Las Vegas Raiders made headlines earlier in the week when they relieved first-year head coach Antonio Pierce of his duties, thus joining the crop of teams looking for a new leader for 2026. However, only a few days later, the Raiders decided to also move on from first-year GM Tom Telesco, opting for a fresh start next season.

Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab talk about Las Vegas cleaning house in their upper leadership, why it might be a good step forward for an organization that’s seen its share of turmoil and the effect that Tom Brady might have on the next head coach hire. With Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson headlining the most appealing head coaches on the market, will the Raiders be able to land either of them?

Also on this episode of Inside Coverage, the guys take a look at a few of the upcoming Wild Card Weekend matchups, including how the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings game being moved to Glendale, AZ, might affect the Rams, why Saquon Barkley will be critical against the Green Bay Packers if Jalen Hurts is rusty in his return and the need for Baker Mayfield to have a clean game against Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.

The guys wrap up the show discussing Frank’s five picks for teams who might be able to knock out the Kansas City Chiefs this postseason and which team might be able to pull off an upset win this weekend.

(0:29) - Raiders clean house

(32:43) - Rams vs. Vikings

(43:00) - Eagles vs. Packers

As the offseason coaching carousel speeds up, the trio discusses the rising number of NFL head coaching vacancies.

In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab break down the key moments from Week 18 of the NFL season, offering their take on some of the league’s biggest matchups and the implications for teams heading into the playoffs. They kick things off by discussing the Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions game, which didn’t live up to expectations as both teams were feeling the pressure. From there, the hosts dive into the drama surrounding the New England Patriots' loss to the Buffalo Bills and the firing of Jerod Mayo, with Frank questioning the team’s management and Fitz wondering why the Patriots waited so long to go after Mike Vrabel. They also touch on the Denver Broncos dominating the Kansas City Chiefs backups. Next, the duo analyze the Miami Dolphins' loss to the New York Jets, with Frank reflecting on the future of Aaron Rodgers and Tyreek Hill's uncertain status with the Dolphins.

Later, the hosts discuss key matchups like the Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens, where Frank feels the Browns need to draft a QB with the second overall pick. They also break down the Cincinnati Bengals' missed playoff chances and the Chicago Bears' morale-boosting win over the Green Bay Packers.

In this episode ofInside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab dive deep into the latest coaching rumors and news across the NFL. With the New York Jets already making moves early in the offseason, the team’s pursuit of former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is front and center. The hosts explore whether Vrabel would want the job in New York, plus the ramifications of the Chicago Bears missing out on their first shot to interview Vrabel and the potential of Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as a future head coach. The trio also touch on Mike McCarthy and whether or not he's jockeying for leverage with the Dallas Cowboys given recent rumors.

Later in the show, the three hosts tackle the controversial Pro Bowl rosters and debate the biggest snubs of the season, including Brian Thomas Jr, Baker Mayfield and more.

Saquon Barkley likely won't play on Sunday despite having an opportunity to break the single season rushing record, and Fitz and Jori have thoughts on what goes into that decision and whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles are making the right call. Finally, the episode wraps up with predictions for the Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions game, where all three hosts agree that the Vikings have the edge despite the Lions’ impressive season.

In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab dive into the fallout from every game of Week 17 NFL action, from a looming monster matchup to a coaching decision that could change the landscape of the 2024 season. Fitz and Frank agree: next week’s showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions is one of the most high-stakes regular season games of all time, and Campbell has a huge decision to make about whether or not to sit players on Monday night.

As the duo breaks down the week’s key matchups, they touch on Sam Darnold’s explosive performance for the Vikings, why the Green Bay Packers still haven't proven they can beat top teams and how the Los Angeles Chargers are shaping up for a playoff run. The Denver Broncos suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with playoff hopes on the line, while the New York Jets’ disastrous performance against the Buffalo Bills raised even more questions about their future. Fitz and Schwab also dig into Brock Bowers breaking records and the Indianapolis Colts’ playoff chances crumbling with a disastrous performance.

Fitz and Schwab also weigh in on the fate of Mike McCarthy after the Dallas Cowboys’ embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and the rest of the Sunday slate before giving their uncertain predictions for an awkward Monday night matchup between the Detroit Lions & San Francisco 49ers.
