In May 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson retired from Manchester United after 26 years. His replacement, David Moyes, inherited a championship team from arguably the greatest manager of all time. One year later, Moyes was fired after United's worst season in over two decades.

That story isn't unique to Manchester United. Not even close.

Big Shoes is a narrative sports podcast about succession—what happens when the greatest coach or player in your team's history walks away. From Manchester United to Liverpool. From Nick Saban to Pat Summitt. From the Phoenix Suns to the San Francisco Giants. From Harry Kane leaving Tottenham to Jon Scheyer replacing Coach K at Duke.

Eight teams. Eight legends. Eight very different attempts to replace the irreplaceable.
