Welcome to Split Zone Duo’s “Offseason Vibe Check” series. It's not a 2024 recap, and it's not a 2025 preview. It's a check-in with every team in every FBS conference about what's been happening since Thanksgiving. How was the postseason? How was the coach carousel? How was signing day? How was the transfer portal window? And is anything else going on around your program? We start with the Southeastern Conference and will work our way from here. * Tennessee has had a quiet few months since Columbus * Vanderbilt will have Diego Pavia back, we think * Alabama’s bowl loss was bad enough to make you question some things, but the new offensive coordinator might be great * Did everyone realize that Mike Bobo is still UGA’s offensive coordinator? * Impressively, so is Bobby Petrino at Arkansas * Brent Venables stakes his Oklahoma tenure on some newcomers * Ole Miss has reasons to be both concerned and excited * South Carolina aims for a portal sequel * Texas is trying to do it yet again on the defensive line * LSU might be The Definitive Portal Team of 2025 * Florida continues to tell a positive story * Kentucky’s path back to being prickly is not clear * Mississippi State gets some needed upgrades * A&M overhauls its wide receiver room * Missouri gets the chance to prove it can be durable * Auburn faces a “put up or shut up” kind of season Stay tuned for more in this recurring series over the coming months. Producer: Anthony Vito Split Zone Duo paid subscribers got a whole other big episode this week SZD host emeritus Steven Godfrey joins Alex and Richard to break down one of the most fascinating coaching cycles in recent memory: the one before the 2001 season.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com The coaching carousel before the 2001 season transformed college football. Some programs set themselves up for national championship (or even dynastic) runs. Some screwed themselves. Some set the stage for the next several decades of the top tiers of the SEC and Big Ten. In this episode, Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson, and Steven Godfrey take a fine-toothed comb through the consequential coaching cycle at the end of 2000: * The hires that worked really well (Gary Patterson to TCU, Pete Carroll to USC, Jim Tressel to Ohio State, Rich Rodriguez to WVU, and many more) * The hires that fell flat (hello, UNC and Arizona) * The hires that shaped college football to this day * The what-if scenarios that nearly made it all different * Ohio State and Georgia shopping for upgrades * A reevaluation of Larry Coker? * Class superlatives, including the Ellis Johnson Southern Miss Award for missed opportunities, the Coaching Carousel Global Impact Award for the most profound ripple effects, and Hire of the Year And more.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson, and Split Zone Duo subscribers have some questions for an NIL agent about how the business of paying college football players actually works. Justin J. Giangrande is the CEO and founder of NETWORK, a sports marketing agency that handles both collective negotiations and sponsorship agreements for players like. We wanted to know: * How does someone even become an NIL agent? * How sophisticated are collectives and college football front offices in their handling of player negotiations? * Will an NCAA clearinghouse to vet deals be a disaster? * How does the lack of public transparency about dollar amounts affect his job as an agent? Does this favor the players or the schools? * How do deals for name-brand stars differ from the boilerplate contracts you’d imagine for a backup offensive lineman? * What happens when someone wants to break a multi-year contract? * How has the impending but uncertain arrival of revenue-sharing affected negotiations with players of late? * Will revenue-sharing simplify negotiations? * How do agents educate players on their tax obligations? * Why should anyone trust an NIL agent, given that there’s no players’ union to certify their qualifications like in the NFLPA? * Do we all think there will be a players’ union in the near future? Thanks to everyone for your great questions. Paying subscribers get the ability to ask questions of us and certain guests, and they can also listen to this entire episode. Start with a free trial!…

In one of Steven Godfrey’s favorite early-offseason traditions, the SZD crew glances ahead at the Week 1 schedule many months from now. Not just so there’s something to look forward to as the long offseason gets going, but because the story of Week 1 matchups is increasingly the story of how athletic directors are approaching scheduling. Let’s dive into: * Why 2025’s season-opening schedule will give you more to look forward to than the equivalent slate in 2024 * The most obvious Anxiety Bowl in the history of Week 1 * Sonny Dykes’ latest season opener against a celebrity head coach * Is USC a canary in the coal mine for the Big Ten’s retreat from marquee non-con spots? And if so … * Could an SEC/Big Ten scheduling partnership reverse that tide? * News analysis: Georgia Southern extends Clay Helton, for some reason SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS AND GET COOL STUFF * Use code SZD20 for 20% off your first order from Homefield, at www.homefieldapparel.com .

Justin Ferguson, publisher of the Auburn Observer and all-purpose ball-knower in the state, joins Alex and Richard to discuss: * How everyone’s feeling after the two Iron Bowl teams went a combined 7-9 in the SEC, tied for their worst joint record of the century * Why this will be an offseason of hope for Auburn, and why Hugh Freeze will have to deliver a lot early in the 2025 season * Alabama’s pivot away from in-state recruiting and Alex’s theory that the revenue-sharing era should be good to the Tide * UAB still has Trent Dilfer, and the Blazers coach is attempting the most blatant '“portal to save his job” maneuver that we’ve ever seen * South Alabama is at least a little interesting, if not quite “good” * Troy, however, is none of the above at the moment * Scott Cochran’s new Division II job makes waves * Jacksonville State nailed its FBS transition, won Conference USA, and has a new coach who can recruit Thanks to Ferg, whose work is at www.auburnobserver.com Hosts: Richard Johnson, Alex Kirshner Guest: Justin Ferguson…

Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson, and Steven Godfrey discuss the stories they are most interested to watch unfold between now and September. In this show: * Podcast update: Godfrey is becoming host emeritus and will take a lighter load as he works on other things, but you’ll still hear him on SZD regularly. * Richard is tracking a series of potential changes to the postseason and end-of-season schedule, not just (more) playoff expansion but also all the SEC/Big Ten saber-rattling that will accompany it. Plus potential changes to the transfer portal schedule and a resolution of the ACC’s drama. * Godfrey will follow the SEC’s attempts to keep internal order now that it’s ballooned to a huge size, some teams have missed the first 12-team playoff narrowly, and the “eight vs. nine conference games” debate remains open. * Alex has his eye on the House settlement, which most people in college sports believe will get final approval and go into effect this year. For the first time ever, after years of toothless hearings, the federal government will have no choice but to get actively involved in college sports reforms. * Arch Madness prepares to take full hold at Texas * Penn State, preseason No. 1? * USC’s crucial summer of getting its house in order For Split Zone Duo subscribers this week Producer: Anthony Vito This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Godfrey, Richard, and Alex made a lot of preseason predictions back in August. Some of them worked out well. (Everyone had Ohio State winning the national title.) Some of them worked out terribly. (Florida State and Michigan in the playoff: Nice job, fellas!) Let’s see how everyone did, and then let’s try to learn some lessons from the ways reality matched and deviated from what we expected. Also, we dig into questions like: * Is the key to good national awards races just to have no elite quarterbacks on the best teams? * Why didn’t any young G5 coaches land power conference jobs? * What can the rest of of the sport glean from FSU’s collapse? * Did we get Conference USA’s parity all wrong?
