Plus: special teams hidden threats, Jeff Hafley’s confidence, and what this result could mean for the Packers moving forward.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with major breaking news: John Harbaugh has been fired after 18 seasons, and the NFL coaching market exploded instantly. Schefter reveals that within 45 minutes of Harbaugh’s firing, seven teams reached out to his agent — including organizations that currently have head coaches. He compares the situation to “cheating on your spouse,” explaining how quietly teams must operate when exploring upgrades without blowing up their current locker room. The conversation naturally turns to Green Bay and Matt LaFleur. Schefter explains why LaFleur’s situation is unresolved but clear: The Packers want him back LaFleur wants to be back The real issue is money, term, and approach Schefter lays out what a fair deal might look like, using Ben Johnson’s rumored salary as a baseline and stressing that how the Packers negotiate matters more than the final number. Come in low, and you risk alienating a coach who would immediately have options across the league. Other key insights include: Why Harbaugh instantly became the hottest candidate in football Why Sean McDermott (and others) should be nervous after this firing Why modern NFL teams prioritize offensive head coaches tied to quarterbacks Why LaFleur would have a job “in a moment” if he ever hit the open market How Ed Policy’s leadership style remains largely unknown — but influential The segment wraps with a preview of Packers–Bears, with Schefter calling it the best-case scenario matchup for Green Bay — but also the most devastating loss possible if it goes wrong. 🎧 A must-listen, league-wide perspective on coaching power, leverage, and why the Packers’ biggest offseason decision may already be taking shape.

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after the Packers’ season finale to break down what actually mattered — and what didn’t — heading into the playoffs. 🏈 Defenders who helped themselves Demovsky highlights two players who stood out despite the game’s “preseason feel”: Barron Sorrell, who showed legitimate run-stopping ability and pass-rush upside Trevon Diggs, whose tackling and physicality could earn him real snaps in the postseason Rob explains why both players may factor into the defensive rotation even with starters returning — and why snap counts tell a story coaches won’t say publicly. 🧠 Do the Packers actually believe? Demovsky shares insight from the locker room, noting that Jordan Love addressed the team after the game, delivering a clear message that “this is the real deal now.” Rob cautions that belief is hard to measure — sometimes it’s real, sometimes it’s noise — but says this group’s messaging feels consistent and genuine. He and Chewy compare this team’s mindset to past Packers playoff teams, including the 1998 squad that knew it wasn’t quite good enough — and why this situation feels different. 💰 Matt LaFleur’s contract reality The conversation then shifts to LaFleur’s future: Rob agrees the situation has moved past “do they want him?” It’s now about money, term, and leverage LaFleur could sign an extension, play out his deal, or force a decision Demovsky stresses one key point: Either you think he’s the guy — or you don’t. The money should follow the decision. He also explains why letting a coach play out the final year is the riskiest option, citing Mike McCarthy’s Dallas ending as a cautionary tale. 🧩 Jeff Hafley & the coaching market Rob discusses why Hafley may get interviews, why the head-coach market is deeper than expected, and why his chances of landing a job may be closer to 40–60 than a lock. 🏁 Outlook vs. Chicago Demovsky closes by saying the Packers should feel confident heading into Chicago: They controlled most of the previous matchup Health should be better It’s a game Green Bay wanted Whoever wins gets a powerful narrative — either “we beat Ben Johnson twice” or “resting worked.” 🎧 Clear-eyed Packers insight, locker room context, and front-office reality — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
