  • Awesome Show

    Hey guys love the show! I was listening to on old episode of until Saturday after Michigan won the national championship and Ari and David came to the conclusion that it would be a long time before we saw an undefeated national champion! Either way the show is awesome, but I was thinking maybe it would be cool to do a

    n episode or two this offseason about college football history. Dynastic programs, defining figures, all-time players, etc.

    Thanks for a great show boys H2P

  • Love the Pod

    Huge fan of the pod, I’ve been listening for a while now. I’m really happy you guys are keeping it going, it’s absolutely my go-to college football podcast. I’m a longtime Utah fan, curious to hear your take on the Whittingham Michigan situation. Michigan got a great coach, we’re definitely going to miss him. Feeling optimistic about Morgan Scalley though, hoping we can keep at least some of our offense. Interested to hear your thoughts, Merry Christmas!

    I love how you guys talk about the whole sport, not just the CFP. I’m glad I stumbled on your show. It’s become my top sports show and thanks for keeping me entertained as I am spending the holidays climbing mountains in Chile.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charles Huff On Coaching Saquon, Saban Stories + Memphis Plans
Q: What was the biggest takeaway from working under Nick Saban during your time at Alabama?
The biggest takeaway was Saban's relentless attention to detail and organizational discipline. He ran the program with a precision that made every day feel like a game plan meeting—door-to-door thorough in recruiting and in preparing game plans—leaving Huff with a blueprint for meticulous preparation and accountability.
Transfer Portal Winners, Losers + Gossip (w/ Sam Khan Jr.)
Q: What is unique about the trends in this transfer portal compared to previous years?
The podcast reveals that this year saw higher salaries for quarterbacks and a strategic shift among top programs who are eager to sign proven talents from the portal rather than develop young recruits.
Grading Transfer QBs, The ACC Gets Weirder + Coaching Latest
Q: Could Virginia Tech technically pay James Franklin, say one million a year and have more money for the roster?
For the most part, these contract clauses that require mitigation require you to seek to find a similar level of employment, meaning you must try to find a coaching job and basically be paid pretty close to market value.
Michigan Latest, New Coach Hires, Army-Navy, Irish Complaints
Q: What are the dynamics around coaching changes and potential hires?
