Welcome to Moneyballers, the show where the X’s and O’s meet the dollars and cents.

This isn’t just another recap show. Whether it’s breaking down a blockbuster trade, analyzing the ripple effects of a record-setting contract, or unpacking how new media partnerships will change the way fans watch, Moneyballers connects the dots between the business of the NFL and the action on the field.

Firing a Coach is EXPENSIVE

When an NFL team fires its coach, fans see drama — owners see a bill. Behind every midseason pink slip is a complex web of guarantees, offset clauses, and payouts that can stretch into the tens of millions. In this episode, Zach Quinn breaks down how NFL coaching contracts really work — from guaranteed salaries and “duty-to-mitigate” clauses to the ripple effects on staff, sponsors, and team finances. Using the Tennessee Titans’ recent firing of Brian Callahan as a case study, we unpack the economics of firing a coach before his contract ends, how teams try to limit losses through offsets, and why these buyouts are often quietly negotiated behind closed doors.

It’s a rare look into the business mechanics that shape the sideline carousel every season.
