Show Notes
Three weeks into the college football season and there have already been two head coaches fired. UCLA's DeShaun Foster and Virginia Tech's Brent Pry are out. Neither coach had won a game this season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talk about where the Bruins and Hokies go from here in their search for a new leader. They also discuss who may be next on the chopping block. After struggling to begin the season, Florida's Billy Napier, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy and Wisconsin's Luke Fickell are names to keep an eye on. Can these coaches turn it around and cool off the hot seat like some other coaches have done this year?
Later in the show, the guys chat about a new trend in college football for how to revamp a struggling offense. The new philosophy is to bring over another school's offensive coordinator and his quarterback. Two successful examples of this, so far this season, are Oklahoma's OC Ben Arbuckle and QB John Mateer and Utah's OC Jason Beck and QB Devon Dampier. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss why this new trend is proving to be successful and if they think this will grow to be the norm. The 16th-ranked Utes have a big test this weekend as they host 17th-ranked Texas Tech. It will be a clash of offseason philosophies, as the Red Raiders focused on investing heavily in NIL to improve their team.
Finally, the guys chat about why the ACC has everybody talking. This year they've rolled out a new level of transparency as they have decided to let you behind the curtain during replay reviews. This new level of insight has excited and intrigued many people in the college football landscape. Andy, Ross and Steven give their thoughts and discuss whether this could lead to even larger levels of access for the viewer in the future.
