April News: Stanford's New Coach, Deion's New Contract & Coastal's Concessions - College Football Podcast


Listen Later

No April Fools' Day around these parts! We're back with latest news around college football, as Stanford has a new (interim) coach, Deion Sanders has a new contract, Coastal Carolina has a new concessions policy, and spring football has to wait another year to fully plunge into intersquad scrimmages. Plus, some early QB rumors at places like Michigan, Oklahoma and Alabama.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Stanford’s Coaching Carousel: Troy Taylor’s firing after allegations of misconduct leaves Stanford in flux, with GM Andrew Luck appointing Frank Reich as interim coach. We unpack the unique power structure at Stanford and what it means for recruiting and rebuilding the program.
  • Deion Sanders’ Colorado Cash-In: Coach Prime secures a five-year, $54 million extension, making him the fourth highest-paid coach in college football. We debate whether Colorado’s portal-heavy strategy is working and if it can sustain success post-Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.
  • Spring Game Shenanigans: The NCAA shuts down Deion Sanders’ and Fran Brown's bid for a spring scrimmage, citing timing and recruiting concerns. We explore the idea’s potential to shake up spring football and why it might still have legs.
  • Coastal Carolina’s Free Food Play: Coastal Carolina becomes the first FBS school to offer unlimited free concessions—hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and drinks—to ticket holders. Is this a savvy move to boost attendance or a risky experiment?
  • Gary Danielson’s Farewell: CBS announcer Gary Danielson is stepping away after 2025, with Charles Davis taking the mic. We reflect on Danielson’s SEC legacy and the changing soundscape of college football broadcasts.
  • Quarterback Battles Heating Up: From Colorado’s Kaidon Salter vs. Julian Lewis to Michigan’s Bryce Underwood quick rise, Alabama’s three-way race, and Notre Dame’s CJ Carr, we dig into the spring QB buzz.
