SUBSCRIBER EPISODE: Godfrey joins Richard and Alex for a discussion of the major coaching moves that went down on Conference Championship Weekend, led by Penn State’s hire of Matt Campbell and all of the associated fallout:
* Penn State’s coaching search got VERY messy. It ended with a solid hire. Was this bad process, and if so, how much does that matter going forward?
* A digression about Kalani Sitake sticking with BYU
* Iowa State backfills with Jimmy Rogers, leaving Wazzu high and dry
* The interesting experiment that will be Tosh Lupoi at Cal
* Why Mark Stoops gave Kentucky a hand with his buyout timing
* The winding journey of Oregon State hire JaMarcus Shephard
* Jason Candle’s departure for UConn is another blow for the MAC
* The backfilling of a bunch of great G5 jobs, including some head-scratchers
* Man, nobody wanted the UAB job
* Brent Pry, Zach Arnett, and the objectively weird situation of fired head coaches joining up as coordinators at the schools that canned them
Produced by Anthony Vito.
