Summary
The Cover 3 crew talks coaches, the new Pac-12 commish and Sam Houston’s title win. First, how do you rank coaches? The show begins with a philosophical debate on what matters, what should matter and some results from our individual ballots that may give us a preview into the debates we’ll have once the CBS Sports Power Five Coach Rankings are released on Tuesday and Wednesday (1:30). Then, the biggest challenge for the new Pac-12 commissioner (22:15), a recap of Sam Houston’s wild win over South Dakota State in the FCS national championship (36:00) and finally a tease of the 1-65 list with five names that will generate discussion when the coach rankings are revealed (42:00).
Cover 3 is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
