The guys also offer their favorites for the job. (Hint: David wins with a nomination of Pete Carroll). [35:50] Discussion of Texas’ loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl focuses on Quinn Ewers’ fumble and Steve Sarkisian’s call for a sideways run on the goal line.

[42:57] The guys also discuss what impact the Mavs' injuries will have on the trade deadline and whether it'll be a problem heading toward the playoffs.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:27] the Cowboys’ third win in their last four games, even if it was just Carolina.
