Blown Coverage

Auburn has officially fired Hugh Freeze midway through the 2025 season — less than three years after hiring him to bring the Tigers back to SEC glory. In this episode, Nick Wize breaks down how it all unraveled: the hiring expectations, the disappointing results, and the moment Auburn decided enough was enough. We’ll dig into:

Nick Wize dives into the fallout from one of the most chaotic press conferences in college football history — Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry’s fiery comments about the LSU head coaching search. Landry torches AD Scott Woodward, calls out agents, and vows not to repeat the mistakes of the past… but did he just scare off top candidates instead? Nick is joined by Zach Goodall (Swamp247) to break down how the LSU drama could actually help Florida’s coaching search, and what it means for names like Lane Kiffin and Jedd Fisch. Then, they preview Saturday’s Florida–Georgia matchup — can interim coach...

Brian Kelly is out at LSU after a stunning loss to Texas A&M — and the fallout is massive. Reports of a tense meeting, viral videos of Kelly entering and leaving the building, and now the big question: Is LSU the best job opening in college football? In this episode, Nick breaks down: • Why LSU pulled the plug on Brian Kelly and whether they were right to do it • The top coaching candidates — from Nick Saban (yes, that’s LSU’s first call) to Lane Kiffin, who may or may not be staying at Ole Miss • The viral Kiffin video vs Oklahoma an...

Week 9 is loaded — both on the field and behind the scenes. The coaching carousel is already spinning with Hugh Freeze fighting for his job at Auburn, Lane Kiffin and Eli Drinkwitz climbing the Florida wish list, and Brian Kelly staring down a must-win against Texas A&M. We’ll break down all the biggest storylines shaping the weekend — from playoff-shifting matchups like Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma and Missouri at Vanderbilt, to Group of Six chaos in Memphis with USF trying to hold onto its playoff hopes. Plus, we dive into the rumors, buyouts, and pressure cookers defining this wild stretch of the...

Marcus Freeman said no to Florida — but why would he ever leave Notre Dame? In this episode, Nick breaks down why staying in South Bend makes sense: an easier path to the Playoff, less pressure, and none of the SEC grind that Florida faces year after year. Then, we go back to the preseason prediction show — which teams did Nick absolutely nail, and which ones did he completely whiff on? From Clemson’s struggles and Florida’s regression with DJ Lagway, to Penn State’s collapse and Alabama’s late-season push, it’s time for some accountability. Plus: Nick fires back at critic...

Billy Napier is out in Gainesville, and the Florida coaching carousel is officially spinning. Is Lane Kiffin or James Franklin the true “home run” hire? Nick breaks down the dream, realistic, and up-and-coming candidates — from Eli Drinkwitz and Will Stein to Alex Golesh and Jon Sumrall. Plus: Is Florida really a better job than Ole Miss, and would Kiffin actually make the jump? What’s next for Mike Norvell and Florida State as they wrestle with that massive buyout? Carson Beck’s comments after Miami's loss Could Miami be heading down the same path as Penn State? The historic programs Nick wants...

This week’s episode is loaded with storylines. We’re breaking down the Top 5 must-watch college football matchups of the weekend and digging into why another team from the East is getting stuck with a late-night kickoff. Florida State fans might not love what we have to say — but it’s a reflection of just how far they’ve fallen from the elite. Then, we tackle one of the sport’s biggest debates: Is the AP Poll biased toward the SEC? From powerhouse brands to TV deals and national narratives, we break down why the SEC gets the benefit of the doubt an...

On this episode, we react to the stunning decision by Penn State Nittany Lions football to fire James Franklin — a $49 million buyout shocker that shakes up the coaching carousel. I explain why the move had to happen but also why the next coach may not match Franklin’s success. We break down the potential hires — from “safe” options like Matt Rhule and Matt Campbell to bold swings like Urban Meyer and Brian Hartline. Plus, why Luke Fickell could be the perfect fit but won’t get the look. Then it’s a full Week 7 college football reaction:

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore added some extra heat to Saturday night’s primetime clash with USC, saying the Trojans’ first sellout of 2025 only happened “because Michigan’s coming.” Lincoln Riley fired back, brushing it off — but the L.A. Coliseum is buzzing for Michigan’s first trip there since 1957. We break down all the storylines: • Can Michigan’s defense slow down Jayden Maiava and USC’s explosive offense? • Will Bryce Underwood and the Wolverines handle the road test under the lights? • What’s really at stake for both teams in the Big Ten and College Football Playoff race? Plus, deep dives into the rest of a l...

This week’s episode is loaded with chaos from coast to coast. Luke Fickell waved the white flag as Wisconsin fell to Michigan — and the Wolverines’ offense raised red flags of its own. Then it’s off to Chapel Hill, where Bill Belichick might already be regretting his move to UNC after fans bailed before halftime. Down in Gainesville, Billy Napier played it safe in a narrow battle with Texas, while Arch Manning left plenty to doubt about his “can’t miss” status. Alabama’s run game came alive against Vanderbilt, Penn State fell apart against UCLA in stunning fashion, and the heat on...

In this week’s episode, we dive into whether College Gameday got it right — was Alabama vs. Vanderbilt really the game to spotlight, or should it have been the battle in the Sunshine State between FSU and Miami? We also tackle: Is James Franklin quietly sliding onto the hot seat? Should Florida redshirt DJ Lagway — and does anyone trust their offense? Why Alabama needs to blow out Vandy to keep the "Bama is Back" narrative alive A deeper look at Florida vs. Florida State — and why FSU’s loss adds intrigue, not subtracts Lane Kiffin says SEC dynasties are over — is he right...

This week’s episode dives into a loaded slate of college football showdowns. We start with Oregon vs. Penn State, where Dan Lanning’s bold 4th-down gamble set the tone and James Franklin’s decisions left questions about Penn State’s ability to handle the big stage. Dante Moore’s steady play and Kenyon Sadique’s breakout are in the spotlight, while Nick Singleton’s struggles and Drew Allar’s costly pick highlight PSU’s issues. From there, we break down Georgia vs. Alabama — Bama’s hot start, Georgia’s run game carrying them, and whether the Tide deserve to be ranked ahead of Flori...

This week’s slate is loaded with statement games and rivalries that could shape the Playoff picture: Utah vs Texas Tech – Undefeated QBs Devon Dampier and Behren Morton square off in a Heisman-level duel, but Utah’s discipline and star tackle Spencer Fano give the Utes the edge. SMU vs TCU – The final Iron Skillet matchup brings history, revenge, and two high-powered offenses. Can TCU’s defense back up the hype, or will SMU extend its road win streak? Auburn vs Oklahoma – The “Jackson Arnold Bowl” features Auburn’s dual-threat transfer QB against OU’s new star John Mateer. Both coaches flipped hot...

Plus, we spotlight the players and teams with the most to prove heading into Week 4 — who needs a statement win, and who can’t afford another misstep.

Week 3 delivered chaos and clarity in college football. I break down Tennessee’s conservative call against Georgia, why both teams still look like playoff contenders, and whether Josh Heupel truly trusts his QB. Clemson fell to Georgia Tech—are the Tigers’ days as a powerhouse officially over, and is the transfer portal their downfall? Florida’s defense kept LSU in check, but DJ Lagway’s turnovers may have cost Billy Napier his job.

Plus, why I think Oregon is the real No. 2 and why Drew Allar still isn’t it for Penn State. We also dive into Brian Kelly publicly backing Billy Napier — is that support genuine, or do SEC coaches just want him to stick around?
