Let's take a ride on the 2025 coaching carousel with Conor Orr + the rise of Kevin O'Connell with Jourdan Rodrigue and Alec Lewis

The 2025 coaching carousel has been spinning since the Jets
surprisingly fired Robert Saleh in October. Since then, the Bears
and Saints have officially hopped on board, and we know at least
three or four more are going to join them. Who else might be
looking for a coach after the season? What should we expect from
Bill Belichick, Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn? Who might be the
surprise candidates that emerge in January? Conor Orr from Sports
Illustrated joins Robert Mays to break down the upcoming coaching
cycle on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. Then, The
Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue and Alec Lewis discuss with Robert a
recent success on the coaching carousel: Vikings head coach Kevin
