Welcome to the Andy Staples show. It's a coaching carousel edition because the carousel is spinning fast, even though it's only mid-October.

And when we're talking coaching carousel, there's only one person that I'm calling.

And that is Bruce Feldman, my coworker at The Athletic.

You can hear him on the audible with Stu and Bruce with the great Stuart Mandel.

Bruce, been a little busy week for you.

It has been a crazy week, Andy.

Honestly, I don't know how surprising the two big moves that have happened really are.

I think, you know, just from talking to people close to the situation

at LSU late last week, it just seemed like it had been trending this way. And even with a win

over your alma mater, it wasn't going to change anything. And then the thing with Negrolovich

that really blew up on Monday, you know, I think people

have been paying attention. I saw I was kind of heading this direction for a while. It's just now

you have USC already open, which opened way earlier. You have Washington State, which has all sorts of

issues. It needs to resolve.

I mean, I have half a staff right now.

It wasn't just roll out of there.

It was also the old line coach, the offensive coordinator,

defensive line coach, you know, so it's just a lot.

And obviously, LSU and USC, those are just two huge jobs.

And I think there may be some overlap on that side of it.

Yeah, it's going to be a very weird situation at Washington State because they've got to figure out how to fill out a staff now.

I'm guessing there's some promotions coming for GAs and analysts types.
