In this exciting episode of Inside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab dive into the latest coaching news (including some breaking news live on the show) before breaking down this weekend's NFC Championship game. First up, the Chicago Bears have made a big splash by hiring Ben Johnson head coach, but they apparently hired him without meeting him in person. The trio explores the implications of this decision, especially considering Caleb's role in the process and the Bears' desperate need for a fresh start. Next, the breaking news drops that Aaron Glenn is heading to the New York Jets, and the trio give their instant analysis before touching on the uncertainty surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars' future after firing GM Trent Baalke. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders are still in search of a head coach after their GM hire, and the team debates potential candidates, including the intriguing prospect of Pete Carroll or Anthony Weaver. The Dallas Cowboys seem to be moving in the direction of Brian Schottenheimer in their head coaching search, despite Kellen Moore offering a potentially higher ceiling.The episode wraps with a preview of the NFC Championship game, where Jori will be braving the cold to watch the action live in Philadelphia. The hosts dive into the concerns surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles’ passing game and discuss how their formula of relying on the run game and a dominant defense could be enough to get them to the Super Bowl. On the other side, Frank gives high praise to Washington’s rising star Jayden Daniels, who might just be the best player on the field Sunday. The gang make their predictions for what promises to be an unforgettable game.(00:45) - Ben Johnson goes to the Chicago Bears(18:55) - Aaron Glenn goes to the New York Jets(22:35) - Jaguars fire Trent Baalke(29:25) - Other coaching news: Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots & Dallas Cowboys(56:05) - NFC Championship game preview Subscribe to Inside Coverage on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3AbfhJc🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ymFp3f 📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT ❤️ Inside Coverage would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.
