About the Episode:
The crew begins their offseason stretch, breaking down 3 of the 9 NFL head coaching changes in each of the next 3 weeks. This week, they'll break down New Orleans Saints' Dennis Allen, Houston Texans' Lovie Smith, and Jacksonville Jaguars' Doug Pedersen.
With Dennis Allen, it's his 2nd time around head coaching an NFL franchise, after his previous stint with the Oakland Raiders that didn't exactly go according to plan. Despite his success, going 8-28 may cause some hesitation about him taking on this position to dig the Saints out from a rut they already have stumbled in due to cap space, especially since the legendary Sean Payton stepped down from the helm.
Like Allen, Lovie Smith will return to head coaching duties in the NFL after taking on the job with the Houston Texans. Smith previously coached the Chicago Bears, even leading them to the Super Bowl in 2006, and the Houston Texans, but might have his fair share of challenges, himself, due to the roster makeup that currently comprises the Texans.
And Doug Pedersen returns to head coaching action to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars after a year removed from his tenure coming to a halt in Philadelphia t. A big question will be if he's learned from his last season collapse to avoid any similar result with the Jaguars and invoke some of the similar magic he experienced when he led them to a Super Bowl in 2017. You can hear the guys' thoughts on these head coaches and a whole lot more in this week's episode of the OTH NFL Podcast, presented by Overtime Heroics and sponsored by Outlast DFS!
