Black Monday postmortem, rookie head coach rankings & Wild Card weekend preview
Black Monday wasn't quite Black Monday this year — mostly because it extended from Sunday to Tuesday. The Denver Broncos fired Vic Fangio before most of the rest of the league even kicked off on Week 18, and after waffling for an extra day, the New York Giants parted ways with Joe Judge in a surprisingly unsurprising move on Tuesday. Between then, the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings & Chicago Bears also relieved Brian Flores, Mike Zimmer & Matt Nagy of their respective services.After kicking off the podcast chatting about what drove the highest ratings for the NFL in a half-decade, Charles Robinson & Yahoo's Dan Wetzel deep dive into the five major head coach roles that opened up this week and what fans could expect next. Why the surprising move out of Miami? Will Minnesota be a coveted job, or is Kirk Cousins radioactive? Which current coordinator is the leader in the clubhouse for the Broncos job? (19:40)Next, Charles & Dan take a listener question and rank the performance of 2021's slate of rookie head coaches. Now, obviously Urban Meyer is last in that line, but we promise, the results will surprise you. (53:35)Finally, the guys look ahead to this weekend's slate of Wild Card games and preview Raiders/Bengals, Patriots/Bills, Eagles/Buccaneers, 49ers/Cowboys, Steelers/Chiefs & Cardinals/Rams.

The end of the NFL regular season brings two major topics: playoffs and awards.

(17:05)Next, Charles & Shalise revisit Sunday's drama surrounding Antonio Brown. They discuss the likely reasons he has not yet been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers & why AB deserves more scrutiny than other athletes who step away due to mental health issues.

The most surprising moment of the 2021 season happened on January 2nd, 2022. In the middle of the third quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' come-from-behind win over the New York Jets, Antonio Brown removed his shoulder pads, threw his undershirt into the crowd, jumped up and down in the end zone and ran off into the locker room, for what may be his last time ever as a professional football player.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off this Sunday night podcast reacting to the bizarre events in New York, Brown's expulsion from the team and how a history of erratic behavior from AB culminated in one of the year's craziest images.Charles & Frank recap everything from Week 17 including the state of the playoff race, Green Bay securing the top seed in the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals bouncing back against the Dallas Cowboys, Ja'Marr Chase's resurgence into the offensive rookie of the year race and if Minnesota should look to offload Kirk Cousins this offseason.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

(17:45)Afterwards, Charles breaks down the Jacksonville Jaguars' search for the next head coach. Interviews have already started this week with many familiar names in contention for the job, like Doug Pederson, Jim Caldwell and Byron Leftwich.
