Donnovan Bennett and Jesse Rubinoff kick off Thursday's edition of The FAN Checkdown discussing Bill Belichick's surprise move to sign a five-year deal with the University of Carolina, the intricacies of coaching at the college level and how they see Bill fitting in with the NCAA. Greg Beacham of The Associated Press joins the fray to tee up Thursday's battle of California between the Rams and 49ers. He looks into L.A.'s strong form after knocking off Josh Allen and the Bills and San Francisco's injury-riddled season, before revisiting the Matt Stafford-Jared Goff swap. After the break, Donnovan and Jesse continue the Belichick discourse, before diving into the NFC West to rank how the division stacks up heading into Week 15.
