Coaching Carousel Chaos + Can Florida's Big Three All Thrive?
Ralph challenges Bruce and Stew on the way the media talks about coaching hires, arguing that the constant chase for the "hot name" creates unrealistic expectations. Using Jeff Brohm and Jedd Fisch as examples, Ralph makes the case that we go all-in on coaches after one big win — which leads to disappointment when ADs inevitably can't land everyone's top choice.In mailbag, can Florida, Florida State, and Miami all succeed simultaneously in the NIL era? The guys break down how the Sunshine State has changed since the '90s when all three won national titles. Plus, a deep dive into quarterback spending vs. offensive line investment. Is Diego Pavia proof you don't need to break the bank at QB? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Plus, the guys analyze contrasting statements from Florida State AD Michael Alford and Wisconsin AD Chris McIntosh about their embattled coaches, and make their picks against the spread for the week’s biggest games, including Texas A&M at LSU, Ole Miss at Oklahoma, and BYU at Iowa State.

Despite the fractures beneath the surface that led to this moment, does it make sense to fire a coach who consistently wins 10 games?The crew breaks down the two frontrunners to replace Franklin: Curt Cignetti, who just pulled off the biggest win of the year by beating Oregon at home, and Matt Rhule, who has a close relationship with AD Pat Kraft but has his own problems against strong opponents.
