After Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger revealed details of Michigan’s defense in the NCAA case involving the Connor Stalions-led advanced scouting operation, Illinois coach Bret Bielema hopped on X to troll former Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh. We won’t see them playing on the field anytime soon, but Bielema isn’t shy about sharing his feelings. Next, Andy & Ari take a look at coaches on the hot seat early entering the 2025 season. Is your coach on it, or is your coach too expensive to fire? Find out here as Andy & Ari break it all down from Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl. Watch us on YouTube instead! https://www.youtube.com/@On3sports Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Jim Knowles decided on Sunday to leave the Buckeyes for the Big Ten rival Nittany Lions, adding spice to a game that likely will continue to help determine who wins the Big Ten title. What does this mean for Penn State? Where does Ohio State coach Ryan Day turn to find his next DC? And who does Oklahoma hire now that Knowles is off the board? Andy and Ari are in Mobile, Ala., for Senior Bowl practices. They caught up with former Ole Miss and Texas A&M defensive tackle Walter Nolan to talk about a potentially huge week for the former five-star recruit. He noted how Aaron Donald boosted his draft stock in Mobile, and he plans to do the same thing.  Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/vvihBhwtpFw Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Should Colorado be worried? If Coach Prime got an NFL job, would it even be possible for him to wind up with the team that lands his son Shedeur? Or is this all a plot to drive YouTube numbers (for shows like ours; Coach Prime’s numbers are great as-is) and give the morning debate shows something to talk about?   Miami coach Mario Cristobal finally explained the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Monday. Had he said in his postgame press conference what he said Monday, it probably would have kept Cam Ward’s name from getting dragged for two weeks by people who don’t understand how football works.   Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are returning to Penn State, which is going to run for a lot of yards next season.   Finally, we revisit Andy’s 2024 season predictions from July to see just how badly he missed. Ari wasn’t working at On3 yet, so he’ll be spared this time. But all his 2025 predictions will be catalogued.   Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/z9eLjhvyUO8 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari Wasserman Producer: River Bailey
