Host John Lund puts a cap on the 2025 Louisville football season with a recap of the Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans Bowl win over Toledo and what Jeff Brohm had to say about it, along with some transfer portal and coaching news. It was another hair-pulling and frustrating slog of a game in the Cardinals 27-22 win over the Rockets, but why should this night be different than any other night! Explosive runs carrying the offense late, the defense carrying the offense early, and another hold your breath and hope it all works out. In coaching news, Jeff Brohm (seemingly) is sticking around as head coach, but defensive coordinator Ron English is out for 2026. In transfer portal news, Deuce Adams highlights the list of names already on the way out, with plenty more assuredly coming and going when things officially open up in the next couple days. And, most importantly, ranking the Top Five Christmas movies of all-time. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Thing Discussed: Proportioning outrage: Sherrone, the maximum. Athletics department? Don't know but suspect people knew for a long time and didn't react until they got information they had to act on. The assistant he had an affair with? We don't know—not exonerated but also let's be conscious that sharing her name and photo and history of an unfamous person irreversibly makes her famous for This, for life. It also has a chill effect on other women caught in illicit relationships with powerful men, and we have a public interest in making sure that math favors coming forward, not participating in the cover-up. What is going on here that we don't have a control mechanism? Brian: I don't trust Warde in this situation because we saw the process for Mel Pearson. No faith this was handled appropriately. Who lied to you Sam? Sam: for certain, Sherrone lied. That wasn't the only basis for his report. Michigan investigated or "looked into it" and they didn't have credible evidence until yesterday when the woman came forward. (He doesn't say this but I took it to mean she lied to the investigators originally). Brian: Warde Manuel has done nothing in 11 years but bumble from one crises to another. Sam: A coverup did take place, between the involved parties. What could Michigan have done to reveal it? We don't know. What brought it to light was she came forward. Argument with Craig over the Wilmer Hale report over Mel Pearson: Craig doesn't like the report, argues for due process; Brian and Seth found the report credible and included you-have-to-fire-him level offenses, and Warde sat on it for months. Other Thing Discussed: Candidates Kalen DeBoer: If he'll listen. Minter: think we can work around the show-cause, might not be able to work around the fact he's in line for NFL jobs. Jeff Brohm: Proven coach, Louisville alum but would listen. Jason Eck: Former Wisconsin OL and line coach who's a cultural fit, only been a HC for 4 years and only New Mexico for one year. Think he's a Harbaugh after 1 year at Stanford. Wildcard: Jay Harbaugh. Bad ideas are bad ideas. Seth notes insanity is possible, e.g. John Harbaugh might come available. Also hiring a coach these days won't be on the AD; you bring in consultants for this sort of thing. It's a much better job than PSU right now, or the last 3 Michigan coaching searches when we were trying to replace Lloyd Carr without paying anybody, trying to find someone who will debase himself to work for Dave Brandon, or Harbaugh-or-bust with a program coming out of a Hoke low. Michigan job today is you get to pick your staff, maybe pick your AD, and inherit Bryce Underwood and a roster built for success with a top 2 or 3 (maybe even #1) NIL war chest. Will DeBoer listen? Math has changed: Alabama fans are holding him to an unreasonable standard based on what Saban did during a time when Alabama had more advantages over Michigan than they did now. Sam: Think DeBoer will listen. If not for that Playoff selection they were ready to run him out of town. People there are expecting him to have the success Saban had in a system that does not afford him the same advantages that Nick Saban had. Brohm will listen too. Sam: Loves Brent Key (also his alma mater), but how much of his success is Hayes King? Lea same thing; why not hire Diego Pavia. Floor: Jedd Fisch, is fine, not a high ceiling, or might be. He's done what we would want to see at Arizona and Washington.

Blake Ruffino shares his thoughts on former LSU and Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban being the favorite to becoming the next Head Coach of LSU. Blake explains that even though there is a lot of smoke around the connection, that he is going to have to "see it to believe it." Blake also explains of another coach whose name is constantly coming up is Mizzou Head Coach Eli Drinkwitz. Is Eli Drinkwitz someone that LSU fans need to keep their eyes on? Lastly, Blake also discusses Jeff Brohm's name who is constantly coming up in the LSU search.
