Welcome back to another year of "The Eyes List,” where Split Zone Duo discusses coaching situations that we’ve got our eyes on. Richard, Godfrey, and Alex discuss the first two in-season head coach firings of 2024: ECU’s Mike Houston and Southern Miss’ Will Hall. Plus, Oklahoma fires Seth Littrell and puts the first blue-blood coordinator opening on the board.

In this episode for paid subscribers, SZD discusses:

* The specific challenges faced by ECU and Southern Miss

* Why it’s not really time yet for candidate lists, and why the firing cycle has not heated up in earnest as November approaches

* Why one hot ECU name seems like a long shot

* How ECU is still cleaning up an AD’s mess from 10 years ago

* Whether Southern Miss is a better situation than it was in 2021

* The critical nature of Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator search after firing Seth Littrell

Producer: Anthony VitoHosts: Richard Johnson, Steven Godfrey, Alex Kirshner
