Nick Saban was wrong. College football isn’t dead. About a year ago, Alabama’s freshly abdicated despot told a group of lawmakers, “All the things that I believed in for all these years, 50 years of coaching, no longer exist in college athletics.” Saban crafted this laughably maudlin exit interview with Texas Sen.

Podcast on Ohio State's Ryan Day coaching decision

Jan 10, 2025 | splitzoneduo.com | Alex Kirshner |D.J. Byrnes |Steven Godfrey

Thanks to the 12-team playoff, Ryan Day’s current situation at Ohio State is unlike any hot-seat drama in college football history. Godfrey, Richard, and Alex talk about the weird dynamics facing the Buckeyes right now, like: How many playoff games does Day have to win? Is it one? Two? Four? Does the $30 million-plus buyout matter to Ohio State? If Day has lost the fanbase—and it sure looks like he has, for now—how much does that bind the OSU brass to get rid of him?
