Ep 493How Bruce Pearl's success coach SINKS Jeremy Pruitt's $100 million lawsuit
Bring home the W with the ultimate tailgate package. The Burger Box from Whataburger is perfect for every occasion. It comes with 10 single or double burgers (with or without cheese), your pick of sauces and all the fixings (which you can customize — did someone say grilled jalapeños?). Keep it basic or go wild, it’ll be a slam dunk. Order online from April 4-7 and earn double reward points.(0:00-11:32) Intro: Jeremy Pruitt suing NCAA(11:33-13:14) Whataburger(13:15-19:27) Recapping Thursday's Games(19:28-22:16) Previewing Tonight's Games(22:17-29:30) What will Kevin Willard do?(29:31-30:53) Kent State coach placed on leave(30:54-48:07) How attractive is the Stanford job?(48:08-55:05) On campus CFP games in the Quarterfinals?(55:06-58:30) TV Deals for NCAA instead of Conferences?(58:31-1:07:22) Speculation in May? (1:07:23-1:08:12) ConclusionOn Thursday, former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt sued the NCAA for $100 million. One particular coach working Friday in the NCAA Tournament is probably the NCAA's best defense in the lawsuit. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl faced a similar situation and re-emerged and got a new job even before his NCAA penalties expired. One coach was good at Tennessee and one coach wasn't. That's the difference. Half the Elite Eight is set, and we’ve got four incredible games on Friday. On Thursday, Duke survived a scare from Arizona with an all-timer from freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils move on to face Alabama, which set an NCAA Tournament record for three-pointers made. Florida wore out Maryland, and the top-seeded Gators will face Texas Tech, which stormed back from a huge deficit to force overtime and then beat Arkansas in the extra period. Friday, we’ve got Kentucky-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Michigan State, Michigan-Auburn and Purdue-Houston. We’re also on Kevin Willard watch. Will he take the Villanova job or stay at Maryland? Meanwhile, college football news keeps coming. Kent State coach Kenni Burns was placed on administrative leave. Next, Andy and Ari answer your questions, including… How good is the Stanford job? Is it possible the College Football Playoff quarterfinals could move to campus?

The chalk of the early rounds created some huge matchups. Can Arizona’s Caleb Love shock Duke the way he did as a North Carolina player in the Final Four in 2022, or are the Blue Devils just going to roll into the Elite Eight? Is Michigan-Auburn the sneaky most exciting game of the round? Kentucky has beaten Tennessee twice as an underdog. Can the Wildcats do it a third time, or will the Volunteers get a chance to keep chasing that elusive first Final Four appearance? Plus, Stanford general manager Andrew Luck fired football coach Troy Taylor on Tuesday. Also, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy thinks Bedlam should be revived as a spring game.

Maryland’s Derik Queen called bank and called game to beat Colorado State and move on to the Sweet 16. But that wasn’t the only buzzer-beater Sunday that mattered. UConn nailed a shot as the buzzer sounded that didn’t help the Huskies at all, but it crushed Ari. The Terrapins advancing also makes the situation involving coach Kevin Willard more interesting. Villanova wants a coach, and Willard might be a candidate. Maryland wants to keep Willard, and the price keeps going up as he keeps winning. This leads to a discussion of football coaches who exercised similar leverage when they did their deals. Now these coaches are under pressure.

The first day of the NCAA Tournament was light on upsets but high on intrigue. McNeese coach Will Wade led one of the upsets — against his alma mater Clemson — and then wasn’t shy about taking questions about his pursuit of the N.C. State job. Wade’s players didn’t seem to mind, either. Is this how coaches should handle job questions in the new era? John Calipari’s Arkansas team beat Bill Self’s Kansas to set up a round two matchup against Rick Pitino and St. John’s. Meanwhile, Ari spent Thursday in Las Vegas sweating free throws and late-game drama. Did he survive? Will he make the show? Friday brings 16 more games. Where will the upsets come? Colorado State is a No. 12 seed but is a 1.5-point favorite against Memphis. No. 11 seed North Carolina is a 1.5-point favorite against No. 6 seed Ole Miss.

And because there are so many teams on the Aggies’ schedule facing pivotal seasons, it means that if Texas A&M is good, then the Aggies can wreak havoc across the SEC. Texas A&M fans are still starved for a College Football Playoff run. Can Marcel Reed and a revamped group of skill position players get the Aggies there? And what happens everywhere else if they do? Plus, Ari has made his predictions for the biggest quarterback battles of the offseason. How accurate will he be?

The Tigers will play one, even if a lot of other schools are cancelling or modifying theirs. Swinney said a spring game won't increase tampering with his players (it'll happen anyway). So why are so many other coaches so worried? Andy has some thoughts. Earlier this week, Ari unveiled what he believes will be the biggest storylines of the 2025 season. But what will be the BIGGEST story of the year? Arch Manning taking over as QB1 at Texas? Will Oklahoma be back? Can Ohio State overcome its Michigan problem?

Who came out on top? It sure seems like Clemson and Florida State (and North Carolina and Miami). The ACC has a set a sliding scale of buyout costs should a school want to leave the league, and the number gets very manageable just as the Big Ten’s current TV deal expires. Does this mean there is an expiration date on this version of the ACC? Lastly, Andy & Ari discuss Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and if he should consider staying another year in Durham.

[email protected] Georgia football coach Kirby Smart helped keep the school from getting fined by asking students to wait to storm the floor after the Bulldogs beat Florida in basketball. Ari covered the College Football Playoff meeting Tuesday, and he came away frustrated that no one will just say what they’re doing or what they’d prefer. The ACC and Big 12 commissioners said they needed to run the numbers to determine how they might vote on the seeding rules for the 2025 season. Andy ran the numbers Tuesday night, and the answer seems pretty clear as to what those two leagues in particular should do. As the NFL combine ramps up, news emerged that former Texas QB Quinn Ewers is prepared to throw for scouts. Ewers was dealing with an oblique injury for most of the season.

Ohio State has hired its defensive coordinator, and it’s former Patriots DC and Lions head coach Matt Patricia. Patricia, a longtime Bill Belichick consigliere, must replace former DC Jim Knowles and nine starters. Can he keep the Silver Bullets dominant, or will they take a step back? Next, Andy and Ari break down Ari’s clash with Brad from Macon on Wednesday’s edition of the Paul Finebaum Show. Brad thinks Ari is a Big Ten-loving homer who doesn’t respect the challenge of an SEC schedule. It was a battle for the ages. Later, Andy and Ari answer viewer questions… — What is the saucier take (Using Wendy’s sauce flavors): The Big Ten gets five teams in the playoff next year or the SEC only get three teams in again? — Any less confidence in the Florida over 6.5 wins with Billy Napier as playcaller? — Take one 2024 transfer player and put them back to their original team.

Ep 461How do Dan Lanning and Oregon take the NEXT STEP?
When it comes to making the best hamburgers around the basics matter and Wendy’s?... well they’ve really got those burger basics on lock and boy does it show. So what’s the secret to all those hot and juicy hamburgers? Simple. Wendy’s always crafts their hamburgers with that fresh, never frozen beef they’re famous for. The result? Hot and juicy beefy hamburger perfection - every time. No matter which hamburger you order from the Wendy’s menu, you already know that thanks to those Wendy’s burger basics, it’s gonna be exactly what you were craving.

Tuesday’s conversation about what success looks like for LSU sparked a similar question about another program. Oregon has been on an upward trajectory since coach Dan Lanning arrived. The Ducks were the best team in the country in the regular season in 2024, but they got buzzsawed by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. So what does Oregon need to do to keep the momentum? Is it as simple as winning in the College Football Playoff? What is the next big step? Later, Ari and Andy break down Ari’s list of potential 2025 breakout players. It includes Michigan QB Bryce Underwood, Texas RB C.J. Baxter and Ohio State QB Julian Sayin.

Ep 460Success for LSU in 2025 is ________?
When it comes to making the best hamburgers around the basics matter and Wendy’s?... well they’ve really got those burger basics on lock and boy does it show. So what’s the secret to all those hot and juicy hamburgers? Simple. Wendy’s always crafts their hamburgers with that fresh, never frozen beef they’re famous for. The result? Hot and juicy beefy hamburger perfection - every time.

The Tigers have won nine, nine and eight regular-season games in Brian Kelly’s tenure. A return to nine would cash a ticket, but it probably wouldn’t satisfy most LSU fans. That group craves a return to the College Football Playoff, and Kelly came to Baton Rouge from Notre Dame with the expectation that he’d have the team competing for national titles. Is this the year he does that? And what happens if it isn’t? The Tigers were aggressive in the transfer portal, and they return one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Garrett Nussmeier. This feels like a pivotal season. Later, Andy and Ari break down Andy’s list of the most impactful coordinator moves. A slow head-coaching market meant a more robust group of coordinator openings, and how some of these hires fare likely will determine how the head coach carousel looks in 10 months.

We joked when Philly picked a bunch of former Georgia defenders that GM Howie Roseman was trying to create North Athens, and he got results similar to the 2021 and 2022 Georgia national championship teams that he took those players from. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl champ. It’s a well deserved achievement for a quarterback who had a wild college career and has been doubted pretty much every step of the way. Later, Andy and Ari break down more 2025 preseason win totals. That 9.5 for Texas looks pretty juicy. The 9.5 for Tennessee probably requires a deeper dive. Also, 8.5 for Indiana is a nod of respect to Curt Cignetti. Next, Andy and Ari break down Rob Ryan’s spectacular debut press conference as USC’s linebackers coach.
