See what you may have missed over the weekend and what’s coming up from ESPN:
1. Along with the playoffs comes the debris that is the coaching carousel. It has begun in earnest. More to come all day on SportsCenter.
Bill O'Brien & Texans intensify talks they hope will make him next coach in Houston, per sources. ESPN link soon from myself & @AdamSchefter

2. #UFC168 was quite the evening, enhanced by Dana White’s #DanaCenter social media takeover.
Holy… I can't say the rest on #DanaCenter!

If you want a few laughs during a basketball game, tune into ESPN2. Bill Walton is pontificating and @DavePasch is trying to call the game.

6. Another of the college/pro double duty guys, Bob Wischusen had a busy weekend in the Sunshine State with a bowl game and the Jets season finale.
3 hour drive in the morning. “@ILoveLamp2424: @espnbob my cousin & I are dying to know, when and how will you get to Miami now?”
