Brian Kelly/LSU/Lincoln Riley/USC/Billy Napier/Florida, and Championship Saturday with David Moulton


In this episode, David Moulton and I talk about three big coaching hires at LSU, USC, Florida, and Championship Saturday in college football. First, we talk about Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame to become the new LSU head coach. We both agree that LSU offers a better chance at winning a national title than Notre Dame. LSU is offering Kelly more money than ND. David also tells me that Notre Dame being independent could hurt the Irish if the College Football Playoff expands to 12 teams. We also talk about LSU's recruiting advantages and where the Irish go for their next coach. Then, we look at Lincoln Riley leaving Norman, Oklahoma for USC. David explains how former OU head coach Bob Stoops was not happy with Riley leaving for USC. We both think Riley can win very quickly with Southern Cal with the Pac-12 not having much depth. We also discuss who could replace Riley as OU's next coach. After the Lincoln Riley chat, our chat centers on new Florida head coach Billy Napier. We both like Napier's energy and recruiting at Florida. We both talk about why so many top college football stars leave Florida. We conclude this episode by previewing Saturday's conference championship games. We look at if the CFB Playoff favorites will win and which teams could be on upset alert.
