This show covers the new college football head coaches for the 2010 season. This was the year that Florida State finally pushed out Bobby Bowden, Notre Dame fired Charlie Weis, and USC watched Pete Carroll walk out the door to the Seahawks. What happened after that? * A messy “coach-in-waiting” situation in Tallahassee, as Bobby Bowden is finally pushed away and Jimbo Fisher steps up * Notre Dame goes for Brian Kelly after squandering a "decided schematic advantage” and firing Charlie Weis * Charlie Strong gets a new job at Louisville * Vanderbilt lives through one of the stranger mid-offseason changes in a while * Lane Kiffin arrives in Southern California, and Derek Dooley replaces him in Knoxville in a search that sure could have gone differently * A future senator heads to Siberia, err, Lubbock * Butch Jones takes on one of the hardest jobs in college football: living up to a high bar set by a string of his predecessors Then it’s CLASS SUPERLATIVES time, with the boys each naming their pick for the Ellis Johnson/Southern Miss Award, the Coaching Carousel Global Impact Award, and Hire of the Year.
