The coaching carousel has finally stopped spinning, and it's time to hand out report cards. Jacob and Daniel evaluate every Power 4 coaching change from the 2025-26 offseason, discussing fit, ceiling, and immediate impact potential. From Lane Kiffin's blockbuster move to LSU and Pete Golding's unique opportunity to coach Ole Miss in the playoff before officially taking over, to controversial hires and under-the-radar moves, the guys break down what each program got right (or wrong). They debate first-time head coaches versus proven veterans, analyze the coordinator-to-head-coach pipeline, and discuss which athletic directors nailed their decisions under pressure. The episode wraps with rapid-fire predictions: Who's most likely to win a national championship first? Who's getting fired first? And which new coach has the best shot at winning their conference in year one? Whether you love or hate these hires, this is the definitive breakdown of college football's busiest coaching offseason in years.
