The Titans coaching search has officially entered the finalist stage — and things are getting real.

The Titans are set to interview Mike McCarthy, so it’s time to have the Mike McCarthy talk. Is he really the clueless coach fans make him out to be — or has his resume been unfairly overshadowed by Aaron Rodgers and Jerry Jones? We dig into McCarthy’s record, quarterback development, and why “fat and bald coaches” always seem to get dismissed. Plus, what this interview actually says about the Titans’ coaching search, the FCCA is born, Matt Overton joins the show, Mike Vrabel faces his biggest test yet, Sam Darnold injury anxiety, and this week’s Six Pack Picks.

John Harbaugh chose the New York Giants — and the truth is, he was never seriously considering the Tennessee Titans. We break down why Harbaugh picked New York, what the Giants gave him that the Titans never would, and why the Titans were more leverage than destination in this coaching search.

Plus:

John Harbaugh is interviewing with the Giants — and reportedly with the Titans and Falcons — but is Tennessee actually a real contender, or just leverage?

In today’s show, Jared explains why he doesn’t believe the Titans are willing to do what it would actually take to land John Harbaugh: full organizational control, extreme financial commitment, and total authority over football decisions. While insiders continue to hype the possibility, the reality of Titans ownership, recent power shifts, and organizational history tell a different story.

The show also dives into:

Why the Titans may be using Harbaugh for credibility — and Harbaugh may be using the Titans for leverage

The NFL coaching carousel exploded today.

We start with breaking reaction to Mike Tomlin stepping down in Pittsburgh and why his availability immediately changes the entire coaching market — including what it means for the Titans and their already complicated search.

Then we dive into the full-blown Matt Nagy PR push, including the media blitz coming out of Kansas City and why Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes suddenly seem very invested in getting Nagy another head coaching job. Is this organic… or targeted?

Finally, Braden Gall and I went back and forth on the biggest question of all:

Power dynamics, leverage, perception — and what really matters as the Titans try (again) to get this right.

Black Monday exploded across the NFL — and now John Harbaugh is officially out in Baltimore. That immediately sparked one question in Nashville: should the Tennessee Titans go get him?

Mike Borgonzi finally addressed the media — and while he kept things close to the vest, there were clues.

I break down my firsthand reaction from the press conference (yes, I asked the first question… and the power went out), why the Titans still relying on a committee to hire the next head coach is a massive concern, and what Borgonzi’s comments may signal about Matt Nagy.

We get into:

Why committee-led searches have repeatedly failed the Titans

What Borgonzi did and didn’t say about Nagy — and why it matters

New names added to the interview list (Stefanski, Raheem Morris, Mike McCoy)

Why some candidates feel like interviews-for-show

The red flags around Kliff Kingsbury

Why fans pretending to “know” these coaches is nonsense

And a rant on former QBs being handed front-office power with zero experience

This is the reality of how NFL coaching searches actually work — and why Titans fans should be paying close attention right now.

Black Monday is officially here — and the Titans’ coaching search is underway.

The Titans have begun requesting interviews with a wide range of candidates, including Chiefs OC Matt Nagy, DC Steve Spagnuolo, Lou Anarumo, and Vance Joseph, with more names expected once playoff teams are eliminated. With reports indicating a list of 12–15 candidates, this process looks extensive — but that doesn’t mean the Titans don’t already know where this is headed.

On today’s show, we break down:

Why the Titans likely already have their coach identified

How the front office power shift puts Mike Borgonzi firmly in charge

Why Matt Nagy is the betting favorite — and why that actually makes sense

The danger of “committee-led” coaching searches

Why fans pretending they know these candidates are fooling themselves
