The Jacksonville Jaguars are on the cusp of competing for a Super Bowl. And central to it all? Removing Urban Meyer. Hiring Doug Pederson. Empowering players in every possible way.

Here’s our longform story at Go Long, icymi.

Meanwhile, out in New Jersey, Nathaniel Hackett claims a “code” was violated. Sadly, Sean Payton was right — sometimes the truth hurts.

So, we absolutely needed to check in with podcast co-host Jim Monos — a man who worked with both. In New Orleans, Monos was the southeast area scout. In Buffalo, Monos was the director of personnel when Hackett served as the Bills’ offensive coordinator.

Live from Fattey Beer in Hamburg, NY, we dig deeper into it all.

You can now listen to the podcast more easily right at Go Long and, still, wherever you get your podcasts. We’ve got the same same feed at Apple, Spotify, Amazon, etc.
