Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

So how good is your favorite team's starting quarterback really?

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) flew solo like a cup with Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) frolicking somewhere in Colorado with the NC State podcast.

Buhler started the show off with a bang reacting to Bill Connelly's Power Four quarterback rankings for ESPN.

He then addressed the NCAA's beef with Trinidad Chambliss trying to playin for Ole Miss again, as well as Arvell Reese's position-less nature coming out of Ohio State ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

From there, Buhler looked at the great job Mario Cristobal is doing recruiting at his alma mater of Miami, as well as hoping Jon Sumrall becomes a patient man while leading Florida.

To wrap this thing up, Buhler looked at what the Miami RedHawks did under Travis Steele this season on the hardwood and tried to forecast what Power Four teams could go undefeated in the regular season on the gridiron next year.

It may still be the heart of the offseason, but it's gotta be False Start!

See your future, be your future...

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) touched on the NFL Combine in all its glory.

They discussed who shined in their glorified pajamas, as well as what dudes would look sweet with a Gennings Dunker mullet in the CFB world.

After that, the guys ranked the best and worst head coaches in the Big 12, all before seeing what The Atheltic's Ralph Russo had to say about the future of coaching in the Power Four.

To tie a bow on this program, Buhler asked Cody about if Fernando Mendoza's magical 2025 season at Indiana could be replicated for a Heisman Trophy virgin school before taking this thing off the track with some good, old-fashioned LSR.

Now we start...

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) took a good, hard look at the 2026 NFL Draft through the lens of Cody's latest mock for FanSided.com.

Buhler was not flying solo like a cup in this one, but rather flying blind in trying to understand who Cody had going where. It was a splendid time!

From there, the guys dissected the best and worst head coaches in the ACC, Joel Klatt's best coaches in the country, and the 10 hottest seats in the country, according to Brad Crawford of CBS Sports.

This was all before figuring out where 4-star QB Gunner Rivers is going to college...

We are here and we are thriving!

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) were reunited and it felt so good.

It had been about two weeks now since they had seen each others' faces over Zoom, so you better believe False Start was more off the rails than usual.

The guys touched on the IMG Academy's rough financial ties to something nefarious, who could be a great CFB commissioner, and the best and the worst the SEC coaching world has to offer.

The guys ended the show with an international addition of some offseason Just Like Novocaine with ABBA, all before closing out the program with the most anticipated Local Scouting Report of all time.

Cody went to the Super Bowl and got sick, while Buhler sat some dogs and ventured out into the Atlanta exurbs.

It's gonna be great because it's gonna be False Start!

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) flew solo like a cup once again with Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) in the Bay Area covering the Super Bowl.

He touched on Gus Malzahn retiring from the coaching profession, with Mike Norvell now being the one to call plays at Florida State.

After being inspired by a few things Will Stein said to Andy & Ari On3, Buhler looked at Brad Crawford's way-too-early CFP bracket for 2026-27.
