Personally I think ownership is enough of a factor for it to be a whole category of its own tbh. Ownership is the main thing that brings down a lot of the worst teams in the league in the long run
I totally remember this exercise from last year. You were spot on. I even commented on it at that time. Washington was the place to be, in hindsight it is obvious, but you pointed it out when no one was talking about it. You are one of the better analysts on TV.
Mina’s analysis is set up for short term results. Yes, the Commanders have been wildly successful this year and all props to the team and Dan Quinn in particular, but let’s revisit this in 2027. Note: I wonder what the Lions job would have rated in 2020? And also a lot of folks, including far too many Lions fans, had Dan Campbell pegged as a loser and terrible HC well into 2022. That’s what short term thinking and ignorance will do for you.
I would disagree with Mina on giving Dak a 4 for reasons she probably wouldn't expect. He is low-key old (for a professional athlete) at 31, with a huge cap hit (89 million) and a sketchy injury history (Cooper Rush has played in 28 games over the last 3 seasons). Those 3 factors for me if I am a coach do not make me feel the QB is settled at a 4 level.
A lot of those games Rush played in were because the Cowboys blew a team out and Dak didn't play much of the 4th quarter. Dak missed 9 games this year and 5 in 2022.. He would've won the MVP last season had he actually played more and racked up a few more stats. He's missed a good amount of games, but this year was really the first one that wasn't a freak accident. Also, 31 isn't old for a quarterback. He's probably got a solid 5 years of peak QB play left before we see a decline (as long as there's some luck with injuries moving forward). The cap hit is getting restructured obviously so it's kind of ridiculous to even bring it up.
I really enjoyed this! Only thing I have a major qualm with is the saints and bears QB situations being equally as appealing, I think someone like Ben Johnson would much rather have Caleb Williams than Derek Carr.
Man maybe it’s just me but I think that Jaguars roster is more talented than most people think. They have great weapons on offense and the defense stunk this season but there are good pieces there too. A lot of that bad defensive performance seemed to be blown coverages/coaching
Jags fan here and that's pretty accurate. Coaching destroyed that defense. It was better last season with our old DC. Interior oline, interior dline and secondary are our weaknesses.
Big facts! FTF is easily the best sports show on television right now. They are funny and creative and don’t turn everything into debates about race and nonsense
I disagree with the Caleb assessment, there were not flashes, he is the real deal, he had no O-line, coaching was terrible, and the instability was off the charts bad. So just him alone would be good enough for any coach worth their weight to go to Chicago!
He is not the real deal. Real deal get their teams to the playoffs. Skins have a worse roster overall. Sorry but your take is homeristic. And this is why Jayden woulda been my number 1 overall pick. For exactly what he did this season. And to be honest, Caleb was 4th of my rookie QB ranks before the draft.
@@WheresWaldo05playoff teams have coaches who didn’t get fired for single handedly losing their teams 3 games out of the season when your ROOKIE qb drove down the field and set ur team up for success. Playoff teams have offensive coordinators who use talented players like they’re supposed to be used instead of using them to block on the fifth called bubble screen in the same drive. Bears offensive coordinator got fired midway. Head coach fired few games after. Jayden definitely played better than Caleb no doubt. He also had a much better supporting cast (coaching). Great rosters don’t do shit with horrible coaches.
@NA_9797 Peyton Manning has had terrible rosters several times. Elite QB's get their teams to the playoffs regardless of players or coaches aeound them. One day when you have seen as much as i have for as long as i have, you shall learn. Until then, just read and don't respond to the experts who actually know what they are talking about. Caleb is goimg to be a career mid level QB that the Bears will waste their time on. The end. 😘
I would give the Jaguars at least 1 point higher on the roster. They have the #5 overall pick. They have 3 extra draft picks in 2025 and another 2 extra in 2026. They have good players at many of the key positions such as QB, 2 edges, #1 WR, etc. Their glaring holes are things like IOL, SS and FS which are some of the easiest positions to fix.
I think Jacksonville is a very nice place for a coach. They're in soft division. Quarterback is in place. Plus the city is putting more money into a closed football stadium.
Say what you want, the Saints are the only team in this group that hasn't been a total sideshow as a franchise the last 20 years. Ownership matters. It's the only element of a team you can't fire someone or draft someone to fix.
She’s good but it seems like everywhere I look I see “Mina Kimes is the best in the business!” almost to a fault. Not sure why so many in the sports talk industry have seemingly taken up arms and are on a mission to convince everyone how great she is lol
@@campscudderFS1 scandal has people shook, and there are a lot of “sports fans” who want to purge fandoms of wrong think. Mina Kimes is a proxy for “exposing wrong thinkers” who would question her or any supposed analyst who happens to be a woman POC etc etc
@campscudder I don't "know" either, but I find her so NOT pretentious and such a good researcher. Those qualities, plus Lenny, sort of seal the deal for me.
The media and fanbase for the Cowboys, Bears, and Jets are some of the hardest to deal with. Said as a Bears fan that lives in Dallas. You better be a leader of men if stepping into any of those jobs.
They gotta just rip the bandaid off on their cap situation. Just take all the dead cap and get it over with, because they’ve been kicking the can down the road for years and all it’s gonna get them is a lot of 7-9 win seasons and no actual postseason success.
@rruhland They won't. They will restructure old players keeping them on the roster thinking they will fill holes with draft picks but it will be the same all over again.
Using part of last year's #8 rating (3/3/2), the Patriots coaching rating would be at best #9 rating with QB=4, Roster down graded to 2 (they need an entire new offensive line), etc=3 since they have the 2nd highest cap space. What is your opinion Mina?
Being the Cowboys coach is tough because of Jerry and the added media scrutiny, but if you’re able to be successful in that environment it can be the best possible gig because everyone knows who you are and you can leverage that into fame and opportunity. Look at how many former Cowboys stars are in media, it’s unlike any other team in sports.
The one thing you didn’t talk about was the divisions Example if I’m a coach no way in hell I want to be the bears coach and go play in that division In my opinion I want to go to the AFC south weak division Texans are a beautiful boat but it’s has holes and it’s leaky. Easy division for success
I think the Jags is a pretty solid spot. Lawrence was often failed by his WR's with drop balls. I think at one pt in the season they had the most or 2nd most dropped balls. There is some really good young talent like hines-allen, and Walker on D. I think the right coach, with a few more pieces in the right place can make them competitive again.
I might bump Jets QB up to a 2, which ties them overall with the Raiders. And I would add one more category: Division. At least a couple of these jobs should consider the division a factor. But Mina knows her stuff. Probably the coolest hang in all of sports media.
The Bears can be fixed, but ultimately I think the issue is that the GM matters more than the head coach and we rarely discuss that fact. A GM who knows how to use their picks to consistently re-stock their roster is mandatory and there aren’t many of them who can do it. Most head coaches I’d say are fairly comparable, though some lose control of the locker room which can be a downfall.
Jags 1. No state tax. No expectations. Weak divison, easily winnable. Already have a "franchise QB" Jets 2. Nyc amazing. No expectations. Weak division besides buffalo. Raiders 3. Vegas no state tax. Lots of off season entertainment. No expectations to win division (chiefs / chargers / broncos). Bears 4. Chicago enough said. No expectation to win division. Cowboys 5. No state tax. Lots of spot light for a narcissistic coach. GM/Owner will get brunt of blame if coach fails but if coach wins division or gets to NFC title game, huge step for resume. Saints 6. Louisiana is a s***hole.
I don't know technical terms but I do know if they sign Micah they can alter Dak, Cds, and Micahs contracts so it immediately frees up 100 million cap space. Which is insanely good and apparently the reason it worked was because of signing those guys and making 0 moves last year
Ownership is a HUGE factor. For the Cowboys, I’d be putting a negative in ETC as you’d have to deal with Jones’ shenanigans and constant meddling. Thanks, but no thanks.
I'm from Chicago. We never talk about ownership. That's a media thing . Dallas cowboy doesn't have a running back. One good receiver a quarterback that's always hurt
Jets and Jaguars, Jets can cut AR, Adams, Lazard and clear the cap in one year. They have 4/5ths of an o-line a #1 WR, good RB's and a handful of really good defensive players. They only need QB1, WR2, RT, TE1, DT, Corner and 2 Safeties. You cant mess up the 26 QB draft if you tried. Loads of Franchise QB's in 26.
I would argue the Raiders roster is better than 2, they have holes but their front 7 on D is really good and their OL isn't bad either. I don't think any of these jobs are that bad but the Cowboys job would be the hardest because you'd be expected to win right away.
I have to agree. Raiders had a ton of starters go down with injuries and the worst offensive coordinator in the NFL didn't help. Then losing Adams. Crosby, Koonce and company will be back but now those backups got valuable playing time and experience. People are overlooking how bad Getsky was to the qbs. Minshew should never have started but give O'Connell a decent system and he could be a decent qb.
I slightly disagree with saints. I would have had their etc slightly higher and basically tied with jets. I personally am saints fan, and think they have better potential than the jets at a turn around. I agree that both teams should be closer to the bottom though.
Saying that anyone would rather have a 32 year old qb coming off of a hamstring injury with the biggest qb contract in the nfl than a 23 year old player who just had a pretty good season and is on a rookie contract is ridiculous. Here's a stat - Dak prescott had more interceptions than caleb last year, in under half of the games.
Just objectively I'd give the edge to the Bears.. The Cowboys you have to be a specific kind of coach to deal with Jerry and the Jags need a lot of help. I'd probably still generally give the Jags an edge over Cowboys unless you are "that candidate".
I’d honestly put the cowboys as the worst job if I’m a coach, a meddling owner, a quarterback whose not elite but is being paid like he’s Mahomes, and an improving division with 2 other division opponents that are currently much better than your team
Mina Kimes Rocks, so wish she was getting more Air time. Thanks for your perspective. I think Cowboys Roster is the best of all of these Teams. Go with the head coach that gets the most out of his players and that would be. $$?$$
Pretty spot on, but the Bears QB score should have been a 4, not a 3. Caleb is definitely better than Derek Carr and he's still on his rookie deal for another 3 years. His ceiling is pretty high too. I think the Bears should have edged out the Cowboys by a point here.
While I agree with some of the details like the QB rating for the Bears or the etc. for the Cowboys, I agree with the overall outcome. To be specific I'd just say Chicago are the clear 1 and Dallas the clear 2, purely because Caleb was probably held back more by coaching than most people will realize and because saying that the NFC North is a tough division is odd without acknowledging that the NFC East is incredibly tough as well and the Cowboys job comes with a much higher expectation to perform right away than the Bears job does. Like I get it, it's one more playoff team in the NFC North but neither GB nor the Vikes where anywhere near as dominant as Philly and Washington have been this year and are likely to be in the future with all of their young talent. Add in the fact that both JD and Jalen Hurts are mobile, versatile QBs while neither Jordan Love nor either of the current rostered Vikings QBs really are anywhere close to that much of a threat in the run game. Remember how much of a factor that has been for both of those teams dominating competition as much as they did, it's basically the Lamar factor, albeit none of the guys we're talking about are his caliber of runners. So in the end I'd either dock a point from the Cowboys or be more generous to the Bears here to not make it a 1st place tie but the rest of your assessments were spot on. Great stuff as usual.
Personally I think your should put QB eval as last thing. Start with ownership/front office (People who built the roster), then roster(what the roster looks like currently), then ETC (tools to fix/upgrade the roster) and finally do you have a QB you can work with or good enough to bridge to the one you can use. I don't see how you can have a bad roster and still claim the ownership/front office is good. one is a direct reflection of the other. Which is why Etc and ownership should be split up.
Raiders job in the middle of the pack at least it's not at the bottom lol...seen lots of dysfunction in this team since they moved to my hometown. Wish they would have given AP another year to develop and given him a better QB to do it with...but Brady is now in the building and he obviously told Davis to clean house. We shall see I know they are doing everything to get the Lion's OC as HC.
Putting aaron rodgers under Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence and dak is insanity. Rodgers down year is better than most qbs best years. Dude only won multiple mvps
A 3 for Caleb seems low to me. You say Caleb didn't do great but then went on to say the coaching was the problem. They arguably ruined at minimum 3 comeback victories for Caleb by poor coaching and clock management. He showed so much flash with 3 offensive coordinators and 2 HC in his rookie year.
The best HC jobs are not going to be for teams in the same div as the Lions, Vikings, Eagles or Commanders … that’s where the ETC should have compensated for the total … the Jags are the best HC opportunity
you do not get 'competent' play out of carr, but also keeping him results in 40M more on the books and further dead money down the line, its FAR better to keep some of the other old contracts like cam jordan and june 1 carr than the reverse.
Mina, I'm one of your biggest fans but I disagree. Bears - 9 Jags - 9 Cowboys - 7.5 Raiders - 7 Jets - 5 Saints - 4 ...and just to note, been a Cowboy's fan since the early 80's (Not a Jerry Jones fan).
Don’t agree with the Raiders roster. 2nd youngest team in the league. Defense ranked top 15 overall. That’s with 5 starters out. Jacobi Myers, Michael Mayer along with Bowers is something to work with. Tom Brady calling the shots now. Also the Raiders have over 100 million dollars in cap space.
Personally I think ownership is enough of a factor for it to be a whole category of its own tbh. Ownership is the main thing that brings down a lot of the worst teams in the league in the long run
I said the same thing but you said it better.
Agreed. Seeing how much ownership changed the fate of a franchise (looking at you Washington) makes this worthy of its own category
Absolutely…. Cap space draft picks and all that is etc… and ownership should be its own thing maybe next year
@@statisticallysound Washington is an excellent example.
Agreed. 1000%
Your editor killed it on this one. The cut-in on Stephen A during the Dak eval was GOLD.
I totally remember this exercise from last year. You were spot on. I even commented on it at that time. Washington was the place to be, in hindsight it is obvious, but you pointed it out when no one was talking about it. You are one of the better analysts on TV.
not too much credit because she thought if DQ didn’t help Jayden perform well this season that he could be fired so idk if she’s that in tune.
I would think she’s the best analyst. She stays focussed on stats and not on the noise around. Makes women proud.
@@Dougalicious06Dan Quinn is a defensive minded coach so the concern was legit. Good thing DQ allowed his OC to have his way with Jayden.
Mina’s analysis is set up for short term results. Yes, the Commanders have been wildly successful this year and all props to the team and Dan Quinn in particular, but let’s revisit this in 2027.

@@MrPhilbautista Yea I understand the concern, but to the point where he would be fired first year? She didn’t factor in how patient new ownership is.

The cut to the out-of-context reaction at 9:20 was excellent
The only time Mina has left SAS speechless! Savor it everyone! ;)
The edit at 9:20 was so clean
Etc for Bears should be 4. Lots of cap space, 4 draft picks in the top 75, ownership that doesn’t get involved in roster like Jerry Jones.
@@donn1387But they play in a really hard division.
I would disagree with Mina on giving Dak a 4 for reasons she probably wouldn't expect.

@@Will41911Is it restructured yet? No. Then it's an issue, Karen. Calm tf down.

They are atrocious in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
Everything you said makes sense on paper BUT the ownership on some of these teams will make them permantly dysfunctional.

Trevor Lawrence on his contact is a 4, yet Caleb on a rookie deal is a 3? Cmon now
I think when you factor in Caleb being on a rookie contract and Dak being paid an insane amount of money their rankings should be flipped.
Mina Kimes Rocks, so wish she was getting more Air time. Thanks for your perspective. I think Cowboys Roster is the best of all of these Teams. Go with the head coach that gets the most out of his players and that would be. $$?$$
Caleb Williams is about as good a situation at QB as you could ask for a rookie HC. Deserves atleast a 4
The Bengals coaching spot should be open to Belichik.
Ooh cool channel ✌️
Pretty spot on, but the Bears QB score should have been a 4, not a 3. Caleb is definitely better than Derek Carr and he's still on his rookie deal for another 3 years. His ceiling is pretty high too. I think the Bears should have edged out the Cowboys by a point here.
I agree with that
Minas chart makes since because Ben Johnson picked the Bears. I think she was a bit low on Caleb.
If you want to teach simple math to children show them this video “2+4+3 would equal…. 9!”
While I agree with some of the details like the QB rating for the Bears or the etc. for the Cowboys, I agree with the overall outcome.
To be specific I'd just say Chicago are the clear 1 and Dallas the clear 2, purely because Caleb was probably held back more by coaching than most people will realize and because saying that the NFC North is a tough division is odd without acknowledging that the NFC East is incredibly tough as well and the Cowboys job comes with a much higher expectation to perform right away than the Bears job does.
Like I get it, it's one more playoff team in the NFC North but neither GB nor the Vikes where anywhere near as dominant as Philly and Washington have been this year and are likely to be in the future with all of their young talent. Add in the fact that both JD and Jalen Hurts are mobile, versatile QBs while neither Jordan Love nor either of the current rostered Vikings QBs really are anywhere close to that much of a threat in the run game. Remember how much of a factor that has been for both of those teams dominating competition as much as they did, it's basically the Lamar factor, albeit none of the guys we're talking about are his caliber of runners.
So in the end I'd either dock a point from the Cowboys or be more generous to the Bears here to not make it a 1st place tie but the rest of your assessments were spot on. Great stuff as usual.
need more small whiteboard content, feel like im back in school
I think you are being nice about the cowboys roster and they don’t have a lot of cap space
Personally I think your should put QB eval as last thing. Start with ownership/front office (People who built the roster), then roster(what the roster looks like currently), then ETC (tools to fix/upgrade the roster) and finally do you have a QB you can work with or good enough to bridge to the one you can use. I don't see how you can have a bad roster and still claim the ownership/front office is good. one is a direct reflection of the other. Which is why Etc and ownership should be split up.
Raiders job in the middle of the pack at least it's not at the bottom lol...seen lots of dysfunction in this team since they moved to my hometown. Wish they would have given AP another year to develop and given him a better QB to do it with...but Brady is now in the building and he obviously told Davis to clean house. We shall see I know they are doing everything to get the Lion's OC as HC.
Putting aaron rodgers under Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence and dak is insanity. Rodgers down year is better than most qbs best years. Dude only won multiple mvps
Caleb Williams is a 4 after 4000 total yards in year 1
Mina you're too good for ESPN. Go do your own thing!
A 3 for Caleb seems low to me. You say Caleb didn't do great but then went on to say the coaching was the problem. They arguably ruined at minimum 3 comeback victories for Caleb by poor coaching and clock management. He showed so much flash with 3 offensive coordinators and 2 HC in his rookie year.
The best HC jobs are not going to be for teams in the same div as the Lions, Vikings, Eagles or Commanders … that’s where the ETC should have compensated for the total … the Jags are the best HC opportunity
you do not get 'competent' play out of carr, but also keeping him results in 40M more on the books and further dead money down the line, its FAR better to keep some of the other old contracts like cam jordan and june 1 carr than the reverse.
Make Mina a GM before she ends her career. I want to see it.
Caleb not at least a 4 is crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Mina, I'm one of your biggest fans but I disagree.
Bears - 9
Jags - 9
Cowboys - 7.5
Raiders - 7
Jets - 5
Saints - 4
...and just to note, been a Cowboy's fan since the early 80's (Not a Jerry Jones fan).
Don’t agree with the Raiders roster. 2nd youngest team in the league. Defense ranked top 15 overall. That’s with 5 starters out. Jacobi Myers, Michael Mayer along with Bowers is something to work with. Tom Brady calling the shots now. Also the Raiders have over 100 million dollars in cap space.
trevor is a great QB
Don’t mind the arbitrary nature of the rankings but the Cowboys job I would never ever take.
It will be attractive to someone who wants fame, and big $$$, because the Clownboys are always in the news, even when they suck
If Trevor is a 4, Caleb is a 4. Caleb was not the issue with the Bears.
one minute in and as a raider fan, i know we are doomed based on mina’s criteria 😢
