New Head Coaches In 2019 Have That Class OF 2016 look

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019

In this edition of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd looks back three years at the head coaching hires for the 2016 NFL season before offering some thoughts on the new hires for the 2019 season. While some teams are the same (Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Miami), the results may be as well. That’s good news for whatever team just hired the next Doug Pederson and not so good for everyone else.
Click above to listen or to download. Or listen on Google Play here.

PRESENTED BY*Joe thinks it’s very cool to have Todd Wright diving back into the kind of thing he was known for nationally. 

For the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are not going away permanently, they each clearly have offseasons.

So, for the new year, Todd has a new podcast. And it simply covers pretty much anything that Todd finds interesting. No limits. Sort of like he did for nearly two decades on national radio as host and creator of AllNight with Todd Wright on ESPN in addition to other roles with Fox Sports Florida, Sirius/XM, Sporting News Radio, etc. Our thanks to Brandon Legal Group for their continuing support of both Todd Wright Tour golf tournaments as well as the TODDcast into 2019. Enjoy.
