Colin Cowherd Podcast - Nick Wright Pt. ...

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of FS1’s “First Things First” for a special two-part pod.

Colin and Nick look ahead to 2025 and the potentially great NFL coaching openings for teams with great quarterbacks and debate whether it might make sense for this year’s candidates to wait on taking a job (3:00).

They weigh in on the rumors that Andy Reid could retire if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl (9:30) and whether Reid could surpass Belichick as the greatest coach of all time (19:00). They also debate whether Tom Brady could be viewed in 30 years the same way Bill Russell is… AN all-time great but also a product of his time and environment (29:30). 

They also talk about how Patrick Mahomes elevates his game and plays BETTER in the biggest games, when other all-time greats did not (34:00).

Don’t forget to check back for part 2 of the pod where Colin and Nick go WAY off the rails!
