Apparently it's season 2 of this thing: https://open.spotify.com/show/3yiVBSbk0CperZN9ZhsbEw  

Also, he does this radio show as well (look at how many episodes they're are):  http://www.espn.com/espnradio/podcast/archive/_/id/17556757

Look, I'm not trying to sound like a grumpy old man, but I really find the optics of this to be bad.  If I were a Rams fan I'd probably be a little pissed.  The guy is rumored to be getting paid over 4 million a year.  And we've always heard coaches spend like 80 hours a week at the office.  Yet this guy has time to co-host his own podcast, and do a weekly radio show?

I don't mind coaches going on a podcast (like Taylor did here) but having their own is another story.  And the very least he could do is keep it to football only, so it looks like maybe he's learning something.  But this dude is intervieiwing the likes of Cory Booker, Bill Murray, the Author of Moneyball, and Doc Rivers.  Like, what exactly are you even doing here?  Don't you have some work you could be doing?

PS Now is the time you can call me a boomer.  I'm ok with that in this case.  If I'm an old man because I wouldn't want my football coach taking over an hour out his work week to interview Cory Booker or Scott Boras then I'll accept that term proudly. 

I see your point..optics not great,  but as far as I know, the dude is still a single man, no kids, wife etc......so he has the  little disposable time(expendable) "time" fo this.
