The first episode of 2021 begins with a nostalgia file entry involving a golf cart and a call of nature. Next, Gabe Mirabelli checks-in for Vegas Corner, including Gabe's reaction to last week's joint appearance by Ryan Logan and Chris Doerring. Gabe also makes an announcement about a potential golf showdown to benefit charity this spring. And then Jeremiah Lokken joins the show to discuss the annual tradition that is the football coaching carousel: why it matters, comical memories and press conferences, what fans like to see in head coaches, and more.
