This is Football with Kevin Clark

Kevin Clark is joined by Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic for a wide-ranging Super Bowl week conversation. The two dive into the evolution of NFL coaching trees, from Shanahan and McVay to the rise of Mike McDonald, and why the league may be running out of coaches. They break down Seattle’s defensive transformation, the Kubiak offensive lineage, and why certain “outlier” coaches simply can’t be replicated.

Jourdan also explains why two-running-back systems are officially back, how defenses are catching up to modern offenses, and what this hiring cycle reveals about how owners are thinking. Plus: early contenders for the 2026 Super Bowl, Chargers optimism (with caveats), Broncos belief, Panthers intrigue, and why chasing trends keeps getting teams in trouble.

Albert Breer joins Kevin Clark to break down one of the most fascinating weeks in football. They start with the Bills’ awkward ownership press conference and what it signals for Buffalo’s future, Josh Allen, and the coaching search. From there, the conversation expands to the broken college football calendar, NFL owners speaking publicly, and why restraint is often the smartest move.

Breer also explains how Mike Vrabel reshaped the Patriots so quickly, why New England’s roster overhaul actually makes sense, and what separates clear organizational vision from dysfunction. Plus: Jared Stidham’s unlikely playoff moment, why the Seahawks may be the most talented team remaining, how the Rams have redefined their identity, and what’s being overlooked heading into this weekend’s games.

To close, Breer looks ahead to the offseason and explains why quarterback movement could be more unpredictable than usual, even without obvious trade candidates.
