Summary
The Cover 3 Podcast looks back at the coaches hired and fired in the 2018 cycle. Where our initial thoughts on the hires correct? Where were we wrong and where have we been surprised. The conversation begins with what went right for Florida with Dan Mullen and what went wrong for Florida State with Willie Taggart (12:00) then whether Jimbo Fisher's 2020 success at Texas A&M shows that's on schedule based on the expectations (27:00). Then, yet-to-be-determined grades for Scott Frost at Nebraska (36:00) and Chip Kelly at UCLA (41:30) plus recapping the biggest surprises from the Power Five coaches hired in the 2018 cycle that have already been fired (47:43).
Cover 3 is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
