from The Rich Eisen Show · host ESPN, Rich Eisen Productions, Rich Eisen

Rich shares the story about his professional journey from being a small-market sportscaster in Redding, California to ESPN in the mid-90s. NFL Insider Tom Pelissero and Rich break down the latest on the coaching carousel including the Miami Dolphins firing Mike McDaniel, the best fits for John Harbaugh and why he parted ways with the Baltimore Ravens, if any Wild Card-losing coach (Mike Tomlin?? Matt LaFleur?? Sean McDermott??) could be out of job this time next week, and if we could see Indiana’s Curt Cignetti in the NFL next season.
