The Good, The Bad, & The "What Were They Thinking?": 2026 New Head Coaching Grades

The coaching carousel didn’t just spin this year—it flew off the hinges and took half the league with it. From the New York Giants pulling off a heist to land John Harbaugh, to the Steelers actually letting Mike Tomlin walk away only to replace him with... Mike McCarthy? Yeah, we’re going there. Tonight on Snap Tackle & Talk, Dwight, Jon, and Collin are taking the red pen to every single head coaching hire made since the regular season ended. We’re grading the fits, the staff hires, and the ”desperation level” of every front office that just handed over the keys to a new regime. In this episode, we break down: The Home Runs: Did the Ravens just find the next defensive genius in Jesse Minter? The ”Retreads”: Kevin Stefanski in Atlanta and Robert Saleh in Tennessee—are these actual upgrades or just familiar faces in new hats? The Head-Scratchers: Did the Browns really think Todd Monken was the answer, or did they just run out of phone numbers to call? The Giants’ Power Move: How landing Harbaugh changes the hierarchy of the NFC East overnight. Staffing Up: We look at the coordinator hires that actually matter (shoutout to Brian Daboll heading to Nashville). Whether your team just hired a savior or a scapegoat, we’ve got the unfiltered, rivalry-fueled truth. This is Snap Tackle & Talk—a football podcast that’s better than some and worse than others. Grab your wings, crack a cold one, and let’s talk shop. #SnapTackleTalk #StayFootballHungry #Football #NFL2026 #NFLCoachingCarousel #NFLGrades #Giants #Ravens #Steelers #Titans #Browns #NFLRumors #CoachingHire
