Coach opens the week with the news of the day: the Colts fired GM Chris Ballard after Sunday's 26-20 home loss to the Titans dropped them to 2-4, the Rays are a win from joining the Brewers in the World Series, and the Bills' C.J. Gardner-Johnson expects a fine after being ejected for spitting in Buffalo's 33-30 win over the Raiders. Then Mikey P and Brandon Combs walk through a historic college football Saturday: five of the top seven lost, including No. 1 Georgia at the gun against Auburn and No. 2 Notre Dame at BYU, where Brandon says the clock controversy isn't why the Irish lost. The crew asks whether Arch Manning should be dominating by now, how NIL parity and shaky quarterback play reshape the playoff race, and what to make of the new AP poll with Miami at No. 1.
The NFL Weekend Rewatch covers the biggest surprises — C.J. Stroud and the Texans, a road game in Atlanta that sounded like a Bears home game, Coach's beef with Caleb Williams, and the Browns' 13-10 comeback over the Ravens — and the biggest disappointments: the Rams losing to Arizona, the Cowboys' 23-13 loss in Green Bay, and the Chargers falling to 0-6 in a 22-6 loss to the Chiefs, with Coach predicting a change for offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel (his take; no move had been announced as of Monday afternoon). Midway through, Jalen Hurts' season-ending blood clot diagnosis breaks on set: the crew reacts, reads Tom Pelissero's report on the sleepless night before his start in London and the Eagles' statement, and Brandon says Nick Sirianni should be fired. The show closes with Commanders at 49ers on Monday Night Football: best bets (opinion only; lines move), whether Dan Quinn can stop coaching scared, and whether Washington can pull the upset.
