Episode 4 brings another loaded edition of Bleav in the ACC as the crew starts with championship week in men's and women's college basketball. The conversation opens with Michigan's dominant national title run, what their championship means historically, and a broader debate on dynasties in sports—from UConn basketball to NFL comparisons involving Brady, Mahomes, and Burrow. The guys also break down the controversy surrounding Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley following UConn and South Carolina's matchup, discussing coaching egos, rivalry energy, and how moments like this can actually elevate the sport. They also make sure to give UCLA its due after capturing the women's title despite much of the spotlight being pulled toward the coaching drama. The featured ACC team profile this week centers on Virginia Tech, and the conversation goes deep into the Hokies' transformation under new head coach James Franklin. The episode explores how Virginia Tech lost its traditional recruiting grip on the DMV and Tidewater areas after Frank Beamer, why Franklin is uniquely positioned to restore that pipeline, and how quickly he has already changed the energy around the program. Ronnie and the crew dive into the unusual but fascinating dynamic of former head coach Brent Pry staying on as defensive coordinator, what that says about coaching relationships, and the financial realities behind decisions like that in today's college football landscape. From there, the episode turns into a full football operations conversation, highlighting Franklin's recruiting cachet, the mass decommitments that followed his Penn State departure, and how that influence immediately translated to Virginia Tech through both the transfer portal and high school recruiting. The guys also analyze the Hokies' favorable 2026 schedule, debate whether the Vegas total of 7.5 wins is too low, and make their case for Virginia Tech as a legitimate ACC dark horse thanks to continuity at quarterback, coaching familiarity, and a system that should translate quickly. The episode closes with early thoughts on next week's featured program, Florida State, where the coaching hot-seat discussion is already heating up. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What is the honest truth about NAIA football that high school families are missing? In this episode, I sit down with Reinhardt University Head Coach Tommy Miller to debunk the myths surrounding non-NCAA recruiting. Coach Miller—a former Virginia Tech offensive lineman under Frank Beamer—explains why the NAIA is the "old school" frontier of college football, offering a high-level product comparable to Division II with unique scholarship opportunities that make school affordable. From the importance of showing up to summer camps to the "brutally honest" coaching style required to build a dynasty, this conversation is a masterclass for any "underdog" recruit ready to prove they love the game more than the hype.Want Some 1:1 Help With Getting Your Son a College Football Scholarship?

For understandable reasons, people all cautious about calling for teams to make coaching changes when the incumbent is a legend in the job. How careful should we be, though? In this episode, we go through the past 40-ish years of coaching transitions from living legend to … someone else. How do schools do when they either fire an all-timer or need to replace him in retirement? The answer isn't great, but it's not as bad as you might think. * 2:04: Why Dabo Swinney got us thinking about this subject * 16:20: The rare cases of the “guy after the guy” arguably doing a better job than the coach he replaced, or at least winning more games for a while* 21:15: The maintainers who kept the train on the tracks, like Ryan Day* 39:13: The long, slow declines, like Virginia Tech post-Frank Beamer* 59:52: The tank jobs, like Ron Zook or Ron Prince * 1:24:16: The cases where the jury is still out, like Kalen DeBoer. (Is that jury still out? We have a mini-debate.) * 1:31:15: Lessons for Clemson heading into another fraught season This is a subscriber episode, but everyone can hear a nice big free previewTo get this episode and many, many more (as well as a whole back catalog of evergreen college football history shows, reporting on the coach carousel, and more), become a paid subscriber today.Producer: Anthony Vito

Join legendary coaches Mark Gottfried and John Calipari (Naismith Hall of Famer and national champion) on The Coach Mark Gottfried Show for an honest, in-depth conversation about the current state of college basketball. The longtime friends open up about their careers. While tackling major NCAA issues: the transfer portal chaos, tampering, mid-season transfers, NIL, and the unfair advantages for older players over young freshmen. They call out NCAA arrogance and inconsistent enforcement, push for collective bargaining, and propose real solutions like 5-year eligibility limits, post-career health care, retirement funds, guaranteed scholarships, and player buyouts. Gottfried also shouts out TORQ Sports, a free app to help young athletes get noticed by scouts and coaches. Plus, stories about Mark's visionary uncle Mike Gottfried (who mentored coaches like Mike McCarthy and Frank Beamer) and Calipari's favorite quote: "Coach your team."

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comVirginia Tech has an incredible fanbase and a history, in this century, as one of the best programs in the country. But those things only count for so much, and the Hokies are now facing an existential moment: Catch up in the financial arms race, or fade further from relevance. In this episode, Alex and Richard discuss:* Why Brent Pry failed* Why the concept of “fit” in this job is extremely hard to figure out, unless you are literally Frank Beamer's son. (And in that case, you have a conventionally better job.) * Tech's place in the ACC and why TV viewership is everything* The bells and whistles the Hokies have lacked* The questions any candidate will want answered* How much does an amazing game day atmosphere still matter?* “I do not think Michael Vick is going to get this job”* Verdict time: Good job, bad job, or circumstantial?Producer: Anthony Vito
We regret to inform you that, after a 12 year battle with mediocrity and irrelevance, the Virginia Tech football program was pronounced dead on September 6th 2025 at 10:57PM in Blacksburg, VA. The program is survived by living legend Frank Beamer, Bud Foster, and a myriad of football alumni that helped build a rough around the edges but beloved team into a perennial ten win program and Championship contender. Wake will be held September 9th 2025 at 9PM. Bring booze and, if you wish to eulogize this once great program, a mic and camera. See you there!

Florida lost to USF, endangering Billy Napier's tenure once again. Virginia Tech dropped to 0-2 with losses to South Carolina and Vanderbilt and is staring down a failed hire in Brent Pry. Richard and Alex discuss what's gone wrong at Florida, why we're still having these conversations four years into Napier's tenure, and who would actually be in charge of firing Napier. Plus, we cover why Virginia Tech can't get anything right post-Frank Beamer and why they're now in an existential moment. Is Tech even a good job in 2025? Let's talk about it. Producer: Anthony Vito

Locked On Gamecocks - Daily Podcast On South Carolina Gamecocks Football & Basketball
On today's show, Andrew interprets Shane Beamer's comments regarding the loss to the Florida Gators from his Sunday night teleconference call, tries to answer some potential questions worries from the fanbase regarding the South Carolina Gamecocks' football season and previews the Tennessee Volunteers' defense! With Shane Beamer's comments, Andrew zones in on a specific tidbit from Shane's answer regarding whether or not you proverbially burn the Florida tape and move on or try to take anything away from it, and hypothesizes why there's so much coach-speak with Coach Beamer's conferences, referring to what his dad in Frank Beamer had in his operation at Virginia Tech. In terms of the fans worries, he works through how this season could've looked different if the team had played much closer to their ceiling, but explains why worries of a repeat of the Will Muschamp tenure with Shane Beamer are premature. Lastly, Andrew begins to discuss the Gamecocks' upcoming opponent in the Tennessee Volunteers, talking about their defense, what they run schematically and how they try to use their defensive front to mask the flaws of the Volunteer secondary!

But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll) for this week's edition of the “Opening Kick” (01:04 – 05:49). Morten talks about that pesky tie-game-rule that still remains in the NFL after all these years, as we saw the Lions and Steelers end in an ugly 16-16 tie this past weekend in Pittsburgh.We then move to our interview with Michael Vick, where he discusses a wide range of topics: the devastation of going to prison, learning from his unforgivable mistakes, and coming out of it as a better man than he was before (08:10); his first impressions of Morten as a teammate, as the two of them have a 20-year age difference (12:31); why he wishes he had the same work ethic at the beginning of his career with the Falcons as he did at the end of his career with the Eagles (14:23); revolutionizing the game of football as the first truly dominant rushing quarterback in NFL history (17:34); growing up in the projects, moving his family out of the projects, and how his love for fishing helped save his life growing up (19:15); why he chose Virginia Tech over Syracuse, and how Frank Beamer's coaching staff got him to the next level as a football player (25:08); embarking on the most dominant freshman season in college football history (28:53); his emotions surrounding being selected #1 overall in the 2001 NFL Draft (30:33); how his personal goals were always with team goals in mind (32:36); why Morten wishes he would've been more present in Mike's life back in 2006 (34:10); his thoughts on the 2021 Atlanta Falcons and why he thinks Matt Ryan still has gas left in the tank (38:09); his current relationship with Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank (39:43); his advice for Aaron Rodgers in the wake of his COVID-19 controversy in Green Bay (40:12); his thoughts on DeSean Jackson landing on yet another team (41:25); why he probably talks to Lamar Jackson's coaches more than he actually talks to Lamar Jackson (42:00); how Tom Brady is three years older than him, yet is still playing at an MVP-level (42:32); and this week's edition of “The Name Game,” featuring Keith Brooking, DeAngelo Hall, Roddy White, Andy Reid, Rex Ryan, Mike Tomlin, Antonio Brown, Brian Finneran, Jason Kelce and Warrick Dunn (43:24).Then we move to this week's edition of “Morten's Fast 5,” where our Hall of Famer makes picks for the five biggest games of the football weekend (48:27 – 55:07).

This week on Inside the Headset, we are featuring longtime Virginia Tech Defensive Coordinator, Bud Foster. Coach Foster shares the life lessons he learned through coaching, speaks on his personal relationship with Hall of Fame Coach Frank Beamer, and highlights how he adapted his defensive schemes to compete with everchanging offenses. Bud Foster is the former longtime Virginia Tech Defensive Coordinator where he spent 33 seasons coaching. The architect of Tech's famed Lunch Pail Defense, Foster was the the longest continually tenured FBS assistant coach at the same school with those 33 years of service until his retirement in 2019. Coach Foster held the distinction of serving as Tech's defensive signal caller starting in 1995 before taking over sole possession of defensive coordinator duties in 1996. Coach Foster was a key component in helping the Hokies register the nation's longest active bowl streak recognized by the NCAA, a 26-year stretch that began in 1993. Coach Foster was a recipient of the 2006 Broyles Award, given annually to the top assistant coach in the country, and was a finalist on three other occasions (1999, 2001, 2005). Coach Foster was named the Division I-A Defensive Coordinator of the Year by the AFCA after helping lead the Hokies to the 1999 national championship game. Under Coach Foster's leadership, his defenses had led the nation in a major defensive statistical category nine times and have placed in the top five 44 different times. Since Coach Foster was promoted to Defensive Coordinator (1996), 45 of his defensive players where drafted into the NFL including 11 players picked in the first/second round.

When asked about the importance of accountability, University of South Carolina Head Football Coach Shane Beamer says that it's “so huge and we just need to be relentless about it. You can't pick and choose. I think the minute you say something is important and the minute you put something on a wall that something is going to be important in our program…the minute you let that slide and you don't make it important, it's over. We've been relentless about that in holding guys accountable. It's why it's a core value of what this program is going to be about.” Now in his first head coaching role at the young age of 44, Coach Beamer started his football coaching career as a graduate assistant at Georgia Tech and Tennessee before landing position jobs in the Mississippi State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Georgia, and Oklahoma football programs. “I've been preparing to be a head coach since I got into coaching” according to Coach Beamer, who also noted that he's been able to rely on solid relationships built over the years with other football coaches such as Kirby Smart, Lincoln Riley, and Frank Beamer as well as basketball coaches like Sherri Coale, Dawn Staley, and Rob Ehsan, among others.
Doug Vance is our guest on the podcast episode 119, as the former sports information director talks about his memories of covering the Racers from 1978-83. This was a golden age of revival for Racer men's basketball and football.

Vance was there when Johnny Reagan's 1979 baseball team was one win from going to the College World Series and he covered Racer hall of famers including: Lamont Sleets, Danny Lee Johnson, George Greenfield, Ronald Hopkins, Terry Love, Andy Rice and coaches Johnny Reagan, Bennie Purcell and Frank Beamer. Vance also has a great story to tell about the time the San Diego Chicken made a visit to Racer Arena.

Also, answers from Bowden, Logan Stenberg and Mark Stoops about the possibility of the coach remaining at Kentucky longterm - the way Frank Beamer had at Virginia Tech. What would that look like?
