Summary

Andy is joined by national college football writer for The Athletic and one half of The Shamrock podcast Matt Fortuna to round up Saturday's action and, in this case, breaking news. The duo react to Oklahoma assistant, Shane Beamer's, expected new role as South Carolina's head football coach (:15). Andy and Matt analyze the hiring and detail Beamer's background and his coaching experience. Notre Dame overcame a sputtering start to down Syracuse, and Ohio State rolled past Michigan State, setting up a brilliant pitch for a OSU-Georgia clash (7:30). Iowa State's impressive triumph over West Virginia just adds to Matt Campbell's already strong coaching resume, but are we certain he'll leave Ames (17:30)? Was Coastal Carolina-BYU the prohibitive game of the year thus far (19:30)? Is the Big Ten ready to revise their conference title rule, or is there a chance Ohio State doesn't play for the league crown (28:30)? After another tough loss on Saturday, is it still safe to say Mario Cristobal is a contender for the possible Texas head coach vacancy (40:00)? Lastly, Jeremy Pruitt sounds off about his quarterback situation, leading Andy to answer why his decisions have been questioned and if he'll remain the top dog in Knoxville (51:00).

until noon. But Matt Fortuna is joining us. We had a really interesting day of college football,

0:30.8

Matt, not always necessarily because of what happened on the field. Had a coaching hire break

0:36.2

right in the middle of the night a very um

0:40.0

i want to be careful how i say this because i don't know exactly why shame beber wasn't coached

0:44.9

night it was presumably covid-19 or contact tracing related but um as far as timing it's kind of convenient no

0:52.9

i mean i'm literally watching the oklahoma game as brvin, our colleague, breaks that story. And I'm like, oh, that'll be an awkward press conference. Oh, wait, Jason Kersey's tweeting. He's not there tonight. And it's not related to this. So that was interesting. And it didn't have to be an awkward press conference. They didn't have to bring him out to the press conference. did it but well i guess link you'll get asked about it either way but it's um that's an interesting one i mean

0:55.4

i that's the guy that I felt like was the front runner all along. And look, I'm sure I know Shane Beamer. I like Shane Beamer. I think everyone who's ever so much is tweeted about Kyle Schwabell has a relationship with this guy because he's that personable and um that kind of ever

1:28.2

Is it?

1:51.4

Yeah.

1:52.2

And my thing on that,

1:54.4

and obviously he will have to do quite a bit to join this list,

1:58.8

but let me give you three names of people who were never an offensive or defensive coordinator before they got their first head coaching job. Ready? I wonder where you're going with this. Urban Meyer, Debo Sweeny, Ed O'Dron. There you go. Okay. Very nice. Yeah. You don't have to be. No, you don't. You don't. I'm just saying the idea of him being the frontrunner all along, which was what the smoke screens were saying. This was the only school that would have happened at, though. Yeah. He was there. There or his last employer, which might be in the market for someone if they lose to Virginia next. His last employer was Georgia.
