| 0:00.0 | All right, Brian, and part two of today's show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by our friends over at Fanduil. We're going to be talking about the coaching carousel, and there has been a lot that's happened. I mean, we've gotten questions in mailbags and on the premium message boards about, you know, is this the craziest offseason or is it set up to be the craziest coaching carousel since 2021 where there's a lot |
| 0:38.8 | of significant changes and as of right now it's definitely living up to the hype so we're going to |
| 0:43.7 | break down a lot of the big moves and grade them out talk about fit and then we're also going to talk |
| 0:48.2 | about some of the jobs that are still open and then if there's any fired coaches that will end up |
| 0:52.9 | coaching again somewhere else so this is going to be a really, really fun topic to discuss. I'm looking forward to this, man. This has been a crazy season so far. Well, a lot of people have been wanting us to comment on the coaching carousel, and we've reviewed to do so because it's like, what do you want us to comment on the the drama that's not what |
| 1:11.7 | we do we don't do drama we don't do clickbait stuff we're going to wait till the dust settles and then |
| 1:17.1 | talk about it and i think there's enough dust settling with some of i mean just a ton of stuff happened |

| 1:26.6 | it was as nutty as we thought it would be. And depending on what Penn State does here, |
| 1:33.1 | boy, it's going to be very interesting to kind of see, you know, what happens with some of these |
| 1:39.3 | jobs that are remaining Trevor, but teams got their guys. And let's about a man because there's a lot going on. |
| 1:48.5 | I do want to start with Virginia Texans. |
| 1:50.7 | They were the first kind of domino to fall. |
| 1:55.2 | And I think what they did, in my opinion, sort of set the tone with the lives of other teams. |
| 2:02.0 | I think them getting, I think, I'll say this, I think Virginia Tech hiring James Franklin |
| 2:06.9 | is why some teams decided not to fire their coaches. |
| 2:11.7 | Because I think once he was off the board, I don't know that there was enough prime |
| 2:16.3 | candidates to necessarily want people to, I mean, |
| 2:19.9 | are you going to fire Mike Norvell to hire another group of five coach like Florida did? I don't know |
| 2:25.0 | that that's going to, you know, make a ton of sense. So it was very fascinating, but I think, |
| 2:29.8 | I think Virginia Tech got this started off with a very strong. I mean, it was the most, it made more |
