The Success and Failure of Kirby Smart | Late Kick Live Ep. 213 Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 213 features Josh Pate discussing lingering criticism around Kirby Smart and the UGA football program after the Dawgs fell to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game again last week. Are the harsh takes towards Smart fair? Will he ultimately be considered a failure if he can’t get over the Alabama hump? We also debut the new College Football calendar meant to eliminate the logjam that has become early December while also making spring a must-see event in the CFB space. Josh also takes a look at the Transfer Portal with even more activity in the last 24 hours. What sort of impact will new head coaches ultimately have on these decisions? All that plus we address recent claims of SEC bias within the College Football selection process.

Mario leaves for Miami | Late Kick Live Ep. 212 Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 212 features Josh Pate discussing Mario Cristobal leaving Oregon for Miami. With the Canes finally uping their investment level to land their dream candidate, how quickly can things be turned around? Will Miami contend for the ACC as soon as next season? Josh also discusses how this could change the landscape of recruiting in South Florida and how the Sunshine State Scorecard looks today as opposed to how it may look in the near future with brand new or relatively new staffs in place at FSU, Miami, and Florida. Speaking of Oregon, the Ducks have a coaching search of their own underway and we get the latest whispers and intel from Eugene. With the Heisman finalists being announced Monday night and Will Anderson nowhere to be found, Josh discusses the biggest travesty of awards season so far. All that plus we delve into the Transfer Portal where several big names are seeking new programs. Where will Quinn Ewers land? What about Eli Ricks and Zach Evans?

The CFB Playoff field is set! | Late Kick Live Ep. 211 Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 211 features Josh Pate’s full reaction to Alabama rolling UGA again in the SEC Championship Game. As Nick Saban moved to 4-0 vs Kirby Smart and Alabama locked up the top seed in the College Football Playoff, what do we make of the way UGA failed to get it done on the biggest stage of the year for the Bulldogs? Will they rebound in a few weeks? Will changes need to be made at QB? The CFB Playoff field is set with Alabama vs Cincinnati and UGA vs Michigan. Josh breaks down the matchups and offers some early thoughts. The coaching carousel continues to be on fire with reports linking Mario Cristobal to Miami and Brent Venables to Oklahoma. What do these moves mean and how will it impact the rest of the sport? Has this been the craziest season AND coaching carousel we’ve ever seen?
