Coaches under pressure in 2022 | Late Kick Live Ep. 265 May 30, 2022

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 265 features Josh Pate discussing the current job security for head coaches around College Football. What kind of seasons do ACC coaches like Mike Norvell and Scott Satterfield need? Is there a different kind of pressure on Jimbo Fisher and Bryan Harsin? Josh also discusses the difference between classic Nick Saban warnings to College Football versus the way the Jimbo Fisher feud began and ended up playing out. The bold predictions segment returns for another evening of the most out-on-a-limb proclamations Pate State can muster including all new power 5 champs, Arkansas winning 10 or more, Texas A&M barely making a bowl, surprise contenders, and Auburn overachieving at RB.. Josh also dives into the Late Kick mailbag for another spicy Q&A segment including updates on the nation’s tightest QB battles, College Football’s top 5 programs this millennium, and which team out there could look to replicate UGA’s championship model of defense first even in an offensive era.

Wisdom... from Lane Kiffin?! | Late Kick Live Ep. 264 May 27, 2022

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 264 features Josh Pate reacting to Lane Kiffin’s comments on the current state of College Football. In a very wide-ranging interview Kiffin compared what we currently have to what it would be like if contracts didn’t exist in the NFL and players could test free agency every season. What changes will we see and what changes do we need to see? The bold predictions segment returns for another evening of the most out-on-a-limb proclamations Pate State can muster including Texas beating Alabama soundly in week 2, Michigan winning 8 or less games placing Jim Harbaugh on the hot seat, Oklahoma somehow having a higher ranked offense AND defense than they had in 2021, Nebraska getting off to a 6-0 start, and BYU beat Oregon and Stanford. Josh also dives into the Late Kick mailbag for another spicy Q&A segment including what goes into labeling an elite recruit a bust when he doesn’t pan out in college AND the story of Late Kick being banned from ESPN’s College GameDay.
